Police Shooting of Desaver Hollis
A resident raised the recent police shooting during Open Forum, touching on property crime, firearm access, accountability, and how the community talks about it. The city's BCA investigation remains ongoing, so council members aren't commenting on details.
Immigration enforcement impact on residents
Residents packed Open Forum to describe ICE activity near schools, parks, and homes, and asked the city to act. The council responded by adopting an emergency ordinance barring immigration enforcement staging on city-owned property and reviewing broader responses.
