A recent tornado caused widespread power outages, affecting thousands of residents for days. This disaster prompted a unanimous vote to research alternative energy sources.

The city's Legislative Policy Division will investigate how other cities have improved their energy infrastructure. A council member who lost power during the outage noted that residents' lives were at risk due to the prolonged lack of electricity.

Further details on the council's decision and its implications are available, including comments from a council member on the significance of the vote and the council's commitment to its residents.
