City councilors held a lengthy meeting Monday which ended with approving the budget for the next year, and narrowly rejecting a motion to allow taller buildings in the South Central Association of Neighbors neighborhood.
Monday’s city council meeting stretched long into the evening – over four hours – with councilors extending the meeting time until 10:30 p.m.

The council ultimately voted the ordinance down 5-4.
