- Continuing the public hearing for Presidential Ventures LLC, 8 Presidential Way, to Sept. 25, 2025; the applicant agreed to the date and to submit requested materials one week before the continued hearing.
- Issuing orders of conditions as drafted for work including Michael Booker (10 Barber Circle; DP 348-891) and a playground and drainage upgrade for an applicant listed as Reuben Council at 2 North Mac Street (DP 348-888). Commissioners moved to issue orders as drafted; the Booker item recorded abstentions.
