During routine new-business items, Sunbury council approved several procedural actions and personnel steps.

Council voted to advertise the adaptive reuse ordinance and both the city-hall and police-department camera policies for public notice. The council accepted the 2026 meeting notices that will set the schedule for council, budget and authority meetings. Members also approved staff to advertise, interview and move forward with hiring for part-time code positions, and authorized a part-time code officer hire (Matthew Persink) at $18 per hour pending background checks with the understanding that pay and budget alignment will be monitored against full-time salaries.

Finance actions included approval of abstracts and vouchers (general fund, private grants and payroll totals were read aloud during the meeting) and moving the fee schedule to first reading for advertisement. Council authorized resubmitting LSA grant applications (including a resubmission for Memorial Drive and equipment/sweeper needs) before a looming deadline.

Several motions were approved by roll call during the meeting; no ordinance adoptions were finalized at this session — the advertising and first-reading steps advance the items toward possible future votes.
