Committee members Pelura, Dr. Johnson and Mayor Brown carried the routine approvals unanimously after motions by Dr. Johnson and Mr. Pelura. The meeting record shows the bill list motion was seconded by Dr. Johnson and the vote was unanimous.
The committee authorized two partial payments to Landberg Construction for the Recreation Complex Playground Improvements Phase II: partial payment #4 for $128,286.90 (Resolution 2025‑92) and partial payment #5 for $57,280.02 (Resolution 2025‑93).

Other formal actions included approving an escrow agreement of $15,000 with 420 GTR, LLC to cover professional fees (Res. 2025‑94) and moving into executive session on Res. 2025‑100; the meeting reconvened later and adjourned at 7:16 p.m.
