Notes from a quiet Friday at city hall

There was no City Commission meeting on Friday — Thursdays are when the action happens around here. But staff in the building were quietly working on items for next Thursday’s agenda, including a draft proposal to expand the city’s curbside composting program.

The pilot, which currently runs in five neighborhoods, has reportedly diverted nearly 200 tons of food waste from the landfill since launching. A senior staffer, who asked not to be named because the proposal isn’t final, said the expansion would likely be debated alongside the FY27 budget.

More reporting to come once the agenda lands publicly.
