- The council approved the April 9, 2026 minutes (Resolution No. 26‑161) and adjourned at 3:09 p.m.
Context: most items were adopted unanimously by the members present; the meeting recorded one abstention on the LLOX drilling permit and one member absent for multiple roll calls. These actions reflect routine land‑use approvals, procurement decisions and budget amendments typical of parish council business.
