# Rochester City Council Meeting - Feb. 11, 2019

The Rochester City Council meeting of February 11, 2019, covered zoning changes, a proposed charter amendment on city property sales, and midyear finances. Council approved the first reading of the mixed-use and office zoning districts; the office-district vote was 6–1. The discussion addressed trailway setbacks, redevelopment, residential uses, and possible future design standards. Council also voted to send proposed charter language concerning the sale of city real property to the Attorney General for review; the proposal included a $50,000 assessed-value threshold for requiring voter approval. No contract awards, RFPs, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.

In the financial update, staff reported $13.3 million in expenditures to date and said departments were generally tracking within budget. The Ludlow construction project was reported as under budget so far, with spring work still to be completed; no project amount was stated. Council discussed reviewing the city’s investment policy and possible future budget reductions. Routine check-register information was presented, but the transcript provides no specific purchasing details or amounts.
