Motion by Nelson, second by Arrington; roll-call vote unanimous.

- Sewer easement acceptance (item 6): Approved.

Motion by Arrington, second by Yuri; passed by voice vote.

- Equipment purchase (wing-plow retrofit, item 7): Approved. Council approved purchase and retrofit of a wing plow for an existing 10‑wheeler at $43,332.32 plus up to $15,000 for additional retrofit components for a total not to exceed approximately $58,332.32. Motion by Gibson, second by Marriott; all in favor.

- Fireworks budget (item 8): Council voted 4–1 to keep the annual fireworks show budget at $20,000 despite a vendor notice of increased tariffs and a request for an additional $1,800 to maintain the same shell count. The motion to keep the budget at $20,000 passed 4–1.

- Check signers (item 9): Approved. Council added Andrea as a check signer on the city bank account and removed the previous signer (Amy). Motion by Gibson, second by Arrington; vote recorded as unanimous.

What this means Most actions were routine code cleanups, property easement acceptances or capital purchases. The two items that involved substantive policy debate were the RE‑5 ordinance (see separate article) and the RE‑5–related parking/setback amendments; the fireworks budget also drew some comment but the council declined to increase the authorized amount.

Next steps Most ordinance changes are now in effect per the council vote; the RE‑5 change requires a DRC/staff compliance check for state-law parking standards and may return to council if staff identifies conflicts. The sewer easement acceptance enables the next construction steps for a future sewer mains extension.
