During public comment, residents raised objections to language in Ordinance 171 performance standards and criticized the online survey about a potential indoor recreation center; one resident requested the council consider winter motorcycle races on Spring Lake.

Multiple residents spoke during public comment.

Mathias Leyer (526 Wall Street) also expressed concerns about Ordinance 171's performance-standards language. Adam Schmitt (49624 Rockford Road) asked the council to consider allowing motorcycle races on Spring Lake during the winter.
