Summary

Councilors shared community announcements at the May 18 work session: Funland opens May 23, the crematorium will be rebuilt over a two‑week period, and the city's ERP (Workday) is scheduled to go live in two weeks with payroll prioritized.

During the May 18 work session councilors provided brief community and operations updates.

Councilors noted the Funland opening scheduled for May 23 with a Parks and Rec media day; parks and events staff will be engaged over Memorial Day activities. Staff also advised that the crematorium will undergo a roughly two‑week rebuild and that residents may see a crane at the site while work occurs.

Mayor and staff said the city's Enterprise Resource Planning system will go live in about two weeks, with payroll treated as the priority for the initial launch; staff cautioned that back‑end work and late‑night effort will continue during the transition.

Separately, the mayor reported work toward a joint fire response continues and that a feasibility study will be part of ongoing negotiations; an updated contract may come to council in July if negotiations are not finished before renewal deadlines.
