- Bills 23-177 and 23-178 would update the codified ordinances. These updates are necessary to keep the city’s governance in line with current standards and practices.
- Zoning policies are further explored in Bill 23-179, which discusses the conditional approval of animal “Sloughs” in industrial district.
- Several ordinances granting approval of structures within the corporate limits of Mansfield
- Lastly, the council will address the city’s financial groundwork with Bill 23-180, setting temporary appropriations for the upcoming fiscal year. This ordinance is a critical component of the city’s financial health and strategic planning.
