The Brighton Town Council convened on June 11, addressing key community issues, including the potential acquisition of Silver Fork Lodge. During the meeting, public input highlighted concerns regarding the council's recent unanimous decision to enter a purchase agreement for the lodge at a price of $4.5 million, proposed by the mayor. Resident Nathaniel Dunlap urged the council to ensure that the price reflects fair market value, suggesting the involvement of an independent appraisal firm to protect taxpayer interests.

Dunlap also raised concerns about the ongoing maintenance costs of the lodge, advocating for a complete demolition and reconstruction to meet modern standards, including ADA compliance. He emphasized the importance of a public referendum on the project, arguing that the community's voice should be considered in such significant decisions.

Other residents expressed gratitude for the council's efforts in addressing issues related to uncovered areas in the community, while suggestions were made for improving transparency during executive sessions of the council meetings, particularly for those attending virtually.

The council approved the minutes from the previous meeting, reflecting a commitment to maintaining accurate records of their proceedings. The discussions underscored the council's ongoing efforts to engage with community members and address their concerns regarding local governance and development projects.
