- Temporary-use permits for fireworks, Dachown Stadium (DockHounds) at 1011 Blue Ribbon Circle North: The council approved a temporary-use permit for two fireworks displays in 2025 (July 3 and Aug. 22 as stated by the applicant). Mover: Mulder. Seconder: Maroney. Outcome: approved (roll call: unanimous among members present). Conditions in the permit mirror those used in 2024, limit event duration to 10 minutes and cap mortar size at 2 inches; staff and applicant said they had coordinated with police, fire and nearby hospitals and would cancel the display if wind or safety concerns arose.

- Developer agreement approval: EVAN Phase 2 developer agreement for on-site water main extension and related infrastructure. Staff said the expansion requires about 5,061 linear feet of new water main at the developer’s cost; the developer will construct and convey the new infrastructure to the city. Mover: Rosick. Seconder: Mulder. Outcome: approved (roll call: unanimous among members present). Councilors discussed local stormwater and flooding concerns and staff said the developer must manage on-site stormwater prior to discharge; city engineering is coordinating channel and drainage improvements in the corridor.

Outcome: approved (roll call: unanimous among members present).
No recorded votes failed or were tabled during the meeting. Several items, including the Mont Bijou rezoning request, were continued to future meetings for additional hearings or plan-commission recommendation.
The council also handled routine administrative matters and closed the meeting after aldermanic and mayoral comments.
