The Apex Town Council convened on August 27, 2024, in a meeting led by a council member in the absence of the mayor, who was unwell. The session began with a warm welcome to attendees both in-person and online, alongside an acknowledgment of the security personnel present.

The council emphasized its commitment to diversity and inclusion, inviting members from various faith communities to contribute to the meeting's invocation. This approach reflects the town's values, fostering unity among its residents. A moment of silence was also offered to respect different traditions.

A highlight of the meeting was the celebration of Raksha Bandhan, a festival symbolizing the bond of protection, particularly among siblings. Council members participated in a ceremonial tying of \"rockies,\" bracelets that signify well-wishes and mutual protection. This event was facilitated by the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), a nonprofit organization representing Hindus in the U.S. and globally.

Following the ceremonial activities, the council moved on to the consent agenda, which included routine items approved collectively without discussion. The council members unanimously agreed to proceed with the agenda, setting the stage for further presentations in the meeting.
