Council members approved a set of routine finance and administrative resolutions reported by the finance committee. Actions included designating MBT Bank (the successor to Evans Bank) as a city depository, adopting the procurement policy for fiscal year 2026, authorizing reimbursement for attendance at specified conferences, and approving licensing for community organizations for calendar year 2026.

The council also approved a corrective appropriation shift of $150,000 from the budget line for millings to the micro slurry/micropaving account; staff said the change fixes a bookkeeping error and that chip-seal expenses are paid from chip funding rather than the general fund.

Public safety housekeeping also passed: the council adopted its 2026 meeting schedule, designated the official newspaper for notices for the year, authorized certain event and license requests and approved several tow rate-card requests. These items passed as routine business; recorded vote tallies were not read aloud in the meeting transcript.

Next steps: staff will implement the appropriation change and update accounting records; travel and procurement actions will proceed under the newly adopted policy.
