- Consent agenda item 7 (Community Development Block Grant allocation): Council approved recommending approximately $68,000 in CDBG funds for community center door replacement/modernization (4-0). Staff cited ADA transition-plan findings and high facility usage in prioritizing doors over other projects.
- Southern Pump Station change order and budget revision: Council authorized change order number 4 and a budget revision that brings the Phase 1 estimate to about $15,000,007.25 and appropriates an additional $2,954,417.40 from the wastewater working-capital fund (4-0). Staff said value engineering reduced the original combined estimate and recommended moving now to avoid expected tariff-driven material-cost increases.
