Legislative Hearings

TL;DR

The Legislative Hearing focused primarily on reviewing special tax assessments for multiple residential properties across the city. Most tax assessment appeals were 'laid over', meaning they will be reconsidered in future hearings between February and April 2026. The meeting also included nuisance abatement and correction order appeals for several properties.
