- Property tax appeal legal and appraisal fees: The board authorized an expenditure of up to $3,000 for legal fees and up to $4,000 for appraisal fees related to a property tax appeal and authorized Meredith Hughes to execute any engagement or fee agreements on behalf of the CIC. The motion was moved by Ray Culbertson and seconded; it was approved.

- Executive session and adjournment: The board voted to enter executive session to discuss a potential sale of property; an up-down roll-call vote was recorded as all yeses. After reconvening, members later moved to adjourn and the meeting ended.
Ending
The meeting record shows unanimous or near-unanimous support on the listed items; the CIC did not take a recorded vote to change the village's previously authorized demolition contract during this session. Several items require follow-up action by staff (contract supplements, grant reimbursement invoicing and appraisals) before implementation.
