The amended 2024 municipal budget was a focal point of the meeting. The resolution to amend the previously introduced budget was unanimously approved by the council members present. A motion to open the floor to public comment on the budget was made, but since no one from the public came forward, the council proceeded to adopt the resolution approving the municipal budget.

Another topic discussed was an ordinance amending Chapter 203, Section 3 of the Municipal fees for construction codes. The council moved to open the public portion for discussion, but again, no members of the public addressed the proposed ordinance. Subsequently, the council closed the public portion and adopted the ordinance as written.

The council also moved to go out for an RFP for the second time regarding co-hosting a Craft Beer Festival.

Updates on local projects were briefly discussed. The townhouses at Camelot and projects on East High Street were reported to be concluding, with landscaping and other final touches underway. The CEO’s Bakery had completed paving their parking lot, with striping and tree planting to follow.

Councilwoman Spence announced preliminary approval for a fighter jet flyover by the 177th Fighter Wing for the upcoming Memorial Day parade, a detail that is sure to add excitement to the event.

Additionally, routine approvals were made for tax overpayments, the execution of a Treatment Works Approval application for a remediation project, and the appointment of a Deputy Registrar of Vital Statistics.
