The council approved the agenda, which included a significant change: the removal of a resolution regarding property acquisition for the Quarry Road regional detention project, replaced by a presentation from the fire rescue department on a proposed shift schedule change.

During the meeting, the council recognized several individuals and groups for their contributions to the community. Veil Flowers was honored for his nearly 30 years of service in the Public Works Department, receiving heartfelt appreciation for his dedication and customer service.
