The Mayor and Council met at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 10, 2025, at the train depot to consider updates to the city personnel policy handbook. Councilmember Hannah Sloan presented a section addressing department heads and the city’s organizational structure and discussed adding Section 4, Chapter 3, covering conflict-resolution procedures.
