City Administrator Zach Potter told the council that the city completed its 2025–26 Urban Renewal building improvement grants, sending $153,702 to five local businesses: Tommy’s ($34,227), Tune Up Center ($22,612), J Davies Resale ($38,137), J Mann Realty ($10,388) and the Rose Motel ($48,337).
Potter also reported that staff and an electrician told him the existing emergency siren and its controls are too old to move. He advised the council that if the city wants to move the siren it should consider buying new technology and a new siren; council members asked staff to check pricing and whether state contacts could advise on options.
Potter provided additional operational updates: the pool is open and pool chemical levels are normal, a new parks employee started, new sprinklers are being installed at the golf course, and the new mowers are functioning with increased course play.
Next steps: staff will research siren replacement costs and any applicable state contacts and report back to council.
