City treasurer's report (March 31, 2025): The council received and filed the treasurer's report. Staff summarized balances: total cash and investments reported at approximately $13.86 million, general fund operating cash about $6.67 million and general fund reserves about $3.7 million; other reported funds included special revenue and pension/other-post-employment trust fund balances. The council voted to receive and file the report (voice vote: aye).

Animal registration ordinance: Following a second reading presented by staff, the council unanimously adopted an ordinance amending Laguna Woods Municipal Code section 5.02.010 and chapter 5.04 related to animal registration (second reading and adoption; motion and second recorded; unanimous voice vote).
