- Resolution 18-2025: First amendment to construction agreement with E and M Concrete LLC for 2024 miscellaneous concrete project (to address additional work and correct a quantity/estimate error). Amendment increased the contract by $121,666 (~12% of original contract) to a total of approximately $1,145,699. Vote: 7–0; outcome: approved.

Vote: 7–0; outcome: adopted on second reading.
- Ordinance O8-2025 (second reading/public hearing): Temporary six‑month moratorium on submission, acceptance, processing or approval of new retail fuel‑sales applications within the city to allow staff study of zoning, buffering and other policy options. The ordinance explicitly exempted two pending projects already in the pipeline (a Costco fueling site under construction and a proposed QuikTrip at Santa Fe and Mineral). Vote: 7–0; outcome: adopted on second reading.
What the council said Council members and staff discussed procurement controls (in the concrete contract amendment item), public-notice plans for the Lee Gulch construction, and policy options for fuel-station siting (buffering, caps and EV charging requirements). Several councilors said they were open to a range of policy responses and asked staff to return with economic and land‑use analyses to guide decisions.
Ending Council approved the listed items without dissent and directed staff to proceed with implementation steps, public outreach and further analyses on the fuel‑sales zoning review.
