Key recurring themes include stormwater management, zoning amendments (swimming pools, accessory dwelling units, biosolids land application), and major capital projects such as the Pleasant Grove Pump Station and stream restoration efforts. The 2025 budget maintains tax stability while strategically increasing reserves and addressing service costs from organizational changes.
