Council approved a retaining wall, nuisance cleanup, a fire station design contract, a Greenway pavilion bid, and surplus property sales. A new fiber optic franchise with Lumos and a sweeping encampment ordinance were delayed due to failing unanimous consent. Other approvals included new streetlights, two-hour parking in Edgewood, and a corrected appropriation for the Exceptional Foundation, before passing the 2025–26 budget with raises, bonuses, and capital projects. The meeting closed with moving tributes to outgoing councilors Andrew Woolverton, Jody Brandt, Carlos Aleman, and Andy Gwaltney, recognizing their years of service, leadership, and contributions across West Homewood, finance, public safety, and city development.
