At the meeting, the council also addressed routine business, including the adoption of resolutions and an ordinance to exceed the municipal budget appropriation limits and establish a cap bank. Public comments were invited, though none were noted in the summary. The council concluded with a closed session to discuss matters of attorney-client privilege and negotiation updates.

During the presentation of the ‘We Value Our Veterans’ award, Mayor Frank Sippel, and council members David Perry, Thomas Conrad, Kevin Coombs, and Roland Roy were joined by retired Sergeant Marty Soder of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and Christopher Chin representing Congressman Van Drew’s office.

The event was marked by a ceremonial moment, where all veterans present were invited to join the council for a commemorative photo, undersymbolizing the community’s collective gratitude and recognition of their service.
