Mayor flags EPA wastewater funding opportunity; council accepts April reports
Summary
The mayor told council the city plans to seek low-interest EPA funding to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant and noted the city recently paid off a roughly $10 million loan; council acknowledged April auditor and treasurer reports and accepted administration reports, 7-0.
During the administration reports on May 11, the mayor said the city intends to pursue low-interest funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant and asked staff to prepare materials for council review. He noted the city had recently completed the final payment on a large loan — described in the meeting as roughly $10 million — and said that will reduce borrowing needs for upcoming projects.
Auditor Phillips told council that April financial reports had been distributed. "The April reports have been distributed, and that concludes my report," he said. After brief comments, council moved to accept the administration reports and then to acknowledge receipt of the auditor and treasurer monthly reports for April 2026; both motions carried unanimously, 7-0.
The mayor also mentioned a separate agenda request regarding a downtown door and invited proponents to meet with him in the mayor's office so he could provide input on legislative steps and ensure proper process. Council recorded the motions and roll-call votes in the meeting minutes.
