Mayor Lanny Tinker also reported that the city's water and sewer infrastructure is stabilizing and there has been slow but steady progress in city cleanup efforts.
Progress is also being made in a long-term solution to correct several ongoing city rezoning issues.
Tinker informed the council that no reduction in city services or layoff of city employees is anticipated.
It was announced that city offices will be closed on Dec. 24-25 and Jan. 1.
