City Councilman Dr. Mark Rennie said the council completed the eighth iteration of county "pocket" annexations, identifying the area north of Pershing between Cary Junior High and Ridge Road and a few blocks north of that corridor. He also reported the city annexed land at the northwest corner of Converse and Carlson.

Rennie said the council approved a contract for the redesign and engineering of the 19th and Missile Drive intersection and the adjacent bridge; he said the design work will inform changes to that crossing. The council also approved a bid to install new lights at the Dutcher Ball Fields.

On a separate licensing matter, Rennie said an application to transfer Scooter's retail liquor license to a nearby convenience store failed to win finance-committee support and the applicant withdrew the request.

Rennie did not provide vote tallies or identify individual motions or seconders during the recorded update; he presented these items as completed council actions.
