What's on this agenda

The board holds a public hearing on a contiguous annexation petition from Ritchie Family Properties for about 7.76 acres at 1313 N White Street, though the applicant (High House Capital) has asked the board to delay its decision to the June 16 meeting while it finishes evaluating the development's feasibility. The board also holds the required public hearing on the proposed FY 2026-2027 annual operating budget, and approves a mid-year budget ordinance amendment on the consent agenda.

The meeting opens with a retirement resolution for longtime staffer Katherine Tharrington, plus proclamations for National Senior Health and Fitness Day, Chronic Illness and Medical Advocacy Awareness Month, and Tourette's Syndrome Awareness Day.
