Ryan McNein Appointed New City Manager with Approved Employment Agreement
The City Council approved the employment agreement for Ryan McNein to become the new City Manager, effective July 1st, 2026.

Federal Advocacy Contract Reviewed Amidst Funding Doubts and Budget Constraints
Mayor Pro Tem Lowe requested to pull item 6.23, the Consultant Services Agreement with Prince Global Solutions, which costs $50,000 annually for federal advocacy. The discussion centered on the contract's purpose, which is to advocate for federal funds for public works projects like roads and traffic mitigation. While the contract was previously renewed to help complete the 5760 project, which is nearing completion and is considered fully funded, there is doubt about the prospect of receiving additional federal funds for infrastructure. Concerns were raised about the necessity of spending $50,000 annually for a project that might be 10 years out or more, especially given the city's own budget constraints and potential funding challenges with new congressional representation. The council voted to send the item back to staff to rework the scope and clarify the benefits and necessity of continuing the contract.
