The council approved an updated fee schedule to incorporate the new chicken ordinance, reflecting recent changes in local regulations. This decision is part of the council’s effort to ensure city policies align with community needs and regulatory standards.

In response to resident concerns about mosquito control, the council discussed the current mosquito spraying strategy, emphasizing it as a reactive measure targeting only adult mosquitoes. The city uses a non-preventative spray and plans to establish a schedule for regular spraying, contingent on weather and mosquito activity. The council highlighted their aim to be both responsive to the community and responsible with taxpayer resources.

Staffing decisions were another focus. The fire department filled two key positions, with Nate Oman resuming the role of training officer and Eric Gaffy stepping in as assistant secretary. The council expressed appreciation for the service of outgoing personnel and noted the importance of involving younger community members in these roles.

Park maintenance updates included repairs to essential equipment, such as a rough mower and fairway mower, which were both recently fixed. The park board reported a successful grand opening event at the local golf course, generating substantial revenue for future cart path improvements. Additionally, the council approved new hires for grounds crew and clubhouse staff to ensure continued operations during peak season.
