During Old Business at the Jan. 7 council meeting, Mayor Lindsey Baxter explained that a prior voting error on Ordinance 1019 (dog‑licensing fees) had occurred and that the fees will remain the same. The minutes record the mayor’s explanation but do not show a new vote to amend fees; rather, the mayor clarified the council’s intent that the existing fee schedule remain in effect.

Councilmember Sharon Ludwig raised a separate historic‑preservation concern in council comments about the Scout Cabin and asked whether any state historical‑preservation review had been conducted. The minutes do not indicate immediate follow-up action on the Scout Cabin question.
