Council also approved an updated organizational chart renaming the public works director to public works supervisor and voted to hire Todd for that position. In procurement and budget items the council approved copier purchase and maintenance agreement motions and tire purchases for heavy equipment. The council introduced Ordinance 3-73 (a supplemental appropriation) to add budget authority for unresolved baseball-field title issues and equipment, with additional details to be finalized in subsequent meetings.

Councilors were reminded of petition and election timelines related to a proposed ordinance to stagger terms and align elections with even‑year county ballots; staff said a reverse reading could be ready by the second January meeting. The council adjourned after completing these items.
