A majority of council members voted to approve four ordinances on the 2026 slate during the meeting.

The council approved the 2026 tax ordinance (cited in materials as ordinance 2025-13) after a roll-call motion; the motion passed 5–1. According to the roll call recorded by the clerk, five members voted in favor and one member voted no. Council members said the ordinance paperwork will be signed after the meeting.

Council then approved the 2026 sewer-rate ordinance (2025-14) by unanimous roll-call vote. The clerk called each member’s name and recorded affirmative votes on the sewer-rate measure.

Members also voted to adopt a parking-violation ordinance (2025-15) that, as described in the meeting, sets certain parking-related violations (including exceeding a maximum parking time and depositing money to extend a meter beyond the limit) to a $50 fine. A staff speaker explained the substance of the ordinance, saying, “This is basically just putting violations ... are all set to $50.” Council members discussed the status of the physical parking meters; staff reported the meters were on order but had not yet arrived.

Finally, the council approved the ordinance setting real-estate discount, face and penalty dates and amounts for 2026 (2025-16), which members described as the same as in prior years.
