Mayor Mike Ferguson opened the regular meeting of the board of trustees on June 24, addressing a previous accusation of dishonesty made against him during a prior meeting. He emphasized that there was no intention to deceive regarding a lawsuit involving local residents, stating that the legal action was necessary to slow down certain developments.

Following the mayor's remarks, the board proceeded with the meeting, which included the approval of minutes from the June 10 meeting. All trustees present voted in favor of the minutes, which were accepted without further reading.
