- Resolution supporting Knowles-Nelson stewardship program approved: Council passed resolution 26 0 1 0 1 endorsing the statewide program, which staff said helps secure state grants for parks and recreation projects (staff noted past awards including nearly $489,000 for an all-inclusive playground at Garrison's Splash Pad).

All items were approved as recorded in the meeting transcript; some generated follow-up tasks (contract finalization, address corrections, and further coordination with the village). The meeting then moved to public comment (no speakers) and adjourned.
