SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO CITY STEPS 2030 AND APPROVAL OF FY26 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The City of Iowa City is soliciting public comments on an amendment to City Steps 2030, which includes
approval of the City’s FY26 Annual Action Plan (AAP). City Steps 2030 was approved by City Council on

AAP outlines proposed activities, project locations, budgets, and the scope of activities for the fiscal year.
