Raise the Stage Update Matthew Morton, City Administrator, handed out and reviewed an updated quote for a mobile stage to replace Duvall’s current stage. Mr. Morton reviewed a breakout of currently secured funds, funds that are pending and the amount that still needs to be funded to acquire the stage.

Light Industrial Site and Design Standards Lara Thomas, Planning Director, presented Council with three options related to creating design standards for Light Industrial zoning.
