1) Production of promotional video with Pioneer Production Services LLC (proposed resolution 2025-01): Motion to approve the project and expenditure passed by a majority voice vote. Staff will forward the resolution to the city council for two readings; the city attorney advised waiting for the two readings and the 60-day citizen challenge window before executing any contract that requires upfront payment.
2) Purchase of 0.2458 acres at Montgomery Town Site 03, Block 16 (proposed resolution 2025-02): Motion to accept the resolution to purchase the parcel for $230,000 passed by a majority voice vote.

3) Approval of regular meeting minutes for June 17, 2025: Motion to accept the minutes was moved, seconded and approved by a majority voice vote.
4) Purchase of six tablets (Surface Pro or equivalent) for MEDC commissioners (non‑budgeted purchase): After reviewing vendor quotes (IT company estimate $8,300; online quote $5,300), the board approved a non‑budgeted expenditure not to exceed $7,000 for six tablets; motion carried by majority voice vote.
5) Approval of MEDC fiscal year 2026 proposed annual budget: Motion to approve the FY2026 proposed budget passed by majority vote; staff will forward the proposed budget to city council for final approval and the normal posting/waiting period.
No other formal resolutions were adopted at the meeting. Several other agenda items — notably the wayfinding sign project and discussion of vacant properties — were discussed but not finalized; board direction on those items appears as staff follow-up rather than formal action.
Votes above were recorded on the meeting transcript as voice votes with the board chair calling the result "ayes carried" or equivalent. Where the meeting record did not name the mover and seconder explicitly, mover/second are marked "not specified."
