“When I think about everything we’ve gone through, I’m really looking forward to our future,” Rosenquist said during Tuesday’s meeting. “I feel like we have a very clear and positive direction that this city is moving on.”
She mentioned the environment, affordable housing and re-envisioning public safety as topics important to residents.
