What drives the agenda

Reading two years of CityCommission minutes, the recurring subjects are: water and sewer capital work and the rates that pay for it; street reconstruction and the maintenance district; the military relationship with MalmstromAirForceBase and the Montana Air National Guard; downtown — parking, urban renewal, TaxIncrementFinancing; parks and the district that funds them; housing supply and annexation; and the property tax pressure that runs under all of it.

The City's own tally: over 500 full and part time employees, more than 300 seasonal in summer.

Other governments residents deal with: CascadeCountyCommission, GfpsBoardOfTrustees, the TransitDistrict, the RegionalAirportAuthority and the CityCountyHealthBoard.
