What they voted on

The search Every council vote, 2019 to Sep 1, 2026

Have a question about our city’s rules and decisions?

You can ask anything. Why did the city raise my property taxes? When did the noise rules last change? What did the council decide about the data center?

Ask it the way you would ask a neighbor.

A model reads your question and works out what to look for. It never writes the answer and it never sees the results. Every word below comes from the minutes. How we use AI.

It searches every motion the council has voted on since 2019 and shows you the document and the page each answer came from. It will tell you when a rule changed and why. If you want to read the rule itself, that is in the city code.

Tell the council what you think of it — public comment is three minutes, and you do not need to be on the agenda.

The city’s share only — your full bill also carries school district, county and water district levies. Estimated at 55% taxable value; check your county valuation notice for the real number. See the motion (opens Civic Roll Call in a new tab).

Decided September 1st Lands in 2027 and 2028

Leaving the fire district means one more tax notice in 2027

The city exits the Unified Fire Authority district on January 1st, 2028. Leaving requires a Truth in Taxation process in 2027, so a notice reaches you before anything reaches your bill.

The city stated this should not cost you more, because the fire district’s rate should come down as the city’s own levy starts. That is the city’s expectation and not a guarantee.

Decided September 1st Only if you build one

A retaining wall may now cost you a permit and an engineer

A wall four feet or shorter needs both if it holds up vehicles, a parking pad, an RV pad, a shed, or earth from an upslope. An unloaded wall in a back yard does not. Over four feet always needs both.

These are motions the council actually voted on, ranked by how well they match. Every line below is the record’s own words — nothing on this page was written to answer your question.

This search stops at September 1, 2026. The council has met once since, and that meeting is summarised from the recording but not yet parsed into searchable motions. Read it under “Lately at the council” — it is on this page already, just not yet searchable.

The record does use “prop” — but not in anything Donna Burnham voted on. So the results below answer a narrower question than the one you asked. Search the whole record for prop instead.

Reach the city 6 seats

Have a question or a concern? Here is how to reach the city

Every council member, when their term ends, their email address, and how they have voted.

How to be heard

The council takes public comment at every regular meeting. You do not need to know anybody, and you do not need to have read the packet.

Where
City Hall, 1650 E Stagecoach Run
When
Work session at 4:00 PM, evening session at 7:00 PM. Public comment is in the evening session.
To speak
General public comment comes near the start of the evening session and is limited to three minutes per person. You do not need to be on the agenda to use it. Not every item is a public hearing. Items marked as hearings take comment on that item specifically; everything else has to go through general public comment.
In writing
The city’s public comment form (opens the city’s site in a new tab) — if you cannot make the meeting, or would rather not speak.
By email
[email protected] reaches every member at once. The mayor is [email protected]. Each member’s own address is on their card above. For things the city administers rather than decides, write to city staff (opens the city’s site in a new tab).
Who they are
Mayor and City Council (opens the city’s site in a new tab) — the city’s own page, including which of them sits on which committee.

In my experience the city would rather hear from you than not.
