A will of council urges county lawmakers to require paid parental leave.

A county proposal would make businesses with 15 or more eligible employees give new parents at least 12 weeks of paid leave. Now that the Board of Health has unanimously recommended it, county council will decide. On Sept. 29, a city council member introduced a measure urging county council and the state to act. County council next meets Oct. 6.

City closes North Side space that provided drop-in support for unhoused residents.

North Side unhoused residents have lost a drop-in spot that helped with housing and paperwork. The ROOTS drop-in location closed for good on Oct. 2 after the city didn't renew its lease. The mayor's proposed 2027 budget adds money for ROOTS staff but none for rent. For now, council can approve a new lease only if the administration presents one.
