Summary
The city administrator's report showed real progress: 38 streets repaved this year versus 13 last year, tripled pothole crews, more snow plows, the Denison splash pad open, and audits caught up with a bond rating reinstatement hoped for in early 2027. Residents were most dissatisfied with roads and code enforcement in the city's satisfaction survey — and the 2027 budget is being drafted with that in mind.
