The council considered several event- and property-related items at its May 5 meeting.

The council negotiated contract-for-deed financing terms of 0% interest for the first two years and 4.25% for the remaining 13 years, with the contract set to begin June 1, 2025.
The council also approved plans for Tower Days on June 27–28, 2025. It granted the Fire Department a special alcohol permit for the Bull-O-Rama event on June 27; authorized special event permits allowing Oldies Grill & Lounge and The Red Eye Tavern to serve alcohol in the park during Tower Days; and voted to allow open containers citywide during those two event days. All motions were approved unanimously.
