Sunset Ridge private road maintenance
Residents of Sunset Ridge said their private road was left as a sheet of ice through 20 inches of snow, endangering emergency access. The city is suing the developer with a February trial; Councilmember Stewart cited case law arguing a public-safety exception to the constitutional gift clause, and the mayor promised the city will plow in the next storm.

The Sunset Ridge developer admitted guilt to all code violations in city court. The judge gave them until June 26, 2026 to fix about 18 open items — or face the maximum fine, with the city possibly doing the work itself afterward.
