Excellent and detailed writeup on the meeting here http://www.rvadirt.com/blog/2022/11/22/rps-recap-112122 including great pieces like council making zero presentation of details, making up the (lowball) cost estimates from thin air, and then voting on it with no chance for review or fact gathering. I agree that naming things after Confederates is trash but these aren't just symbolic votes, they need practical and prioritized plans attached.
