- Morningside Ministries financing (Resolution No. 2025‑R80): Council approved a resolution supporting tax‑exempt bond financing by the New Hope Cultural Educational Facilities Finance Corporation for Morningside Ministries' Phase 5 expansion.

Motion passed 4‑0.
- City depository services (Resolution No. 2025‑R82): After evaluating RFQ responses, staff recommended Frost Bank as the city's depository institution; Frost scored highest under the city's evaluation criteria (9.24) and council approved the resolution to award depository services and authorized the city manager to execute the agreement, vote 4‑0.
- Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda in a separate motion, vote 4‑0.
Context and next steps Most of these items were routine or recommended by staff and advisory bodies; Scooter's Coffee proceeded through a public hearing and first reading with the applicant present and offering operational details. Final action on Scooter's Coffee (second reading/adoption) and any follow‑up on project location details for the pavement contract will be handled in future meetings as required.
