The city council convened on July 2, 2024, with a notable adjustment to its meeting format due to recent security concerns. Mayor Curtis opened the session by announcing that, following suspicious activity detected on the city's internal network, access was temporarily shut down. As a result, the meeting was held in person only, marking a return to traditional methods, as it was not streamed live and remote attendance was not permitted. However, the session was recorded for later viewing.

Before proceeding with the agenda, the council unanimously voted to excuse Council Member Pascoe from the meeting. The roll call confirmed the presence of all other members, including Council Members Chisholm, Black, Falcone, Sweet, Deputy Mayor Arnold, and Mayor Curtis.

In a procedural change, the mayor proposed moving the executive session to 6:30 PM, prior to the regular meeting, which was agreed upon without objection. The council's study session was set to cover two items, although details on those topics were not disclosed in the opening remarks. The meeting is expected to reconvene at 7:30 PM following the executive session.
