• Reimbursement to Connor Foster for CESSWI training costs ($623.08 charged to budget line A14404030).
• Installation of a stop sign at Stratford Drive and North Meadowbrook Lane to replace an existing yield sign.
• Authorization for the supervisor to sign a customs power of attorney to allow importation of IP 15 handicap swings from Scotland (grant-funded; expedited to avoid tariff costs).

Most approvals were taken by voice vote; the transcript records the motions, seconders and board assent but does not include roll-call tallies for individual members. Several items require follow-up actions by the relevant departments (planning, recreation, clerk) or contingent steps if grants are awarded.
