- Haven Summer Youth Program park use (Hoberman Park and additional sites): Council approved the request for Hoberman Park on May 20 and for weekend sessions on June 3, 10 and 17 after staff confirmed liability insurance and schedule coordination.
- Endless Mountains Adventure Race: Council approved passage through city streets June 26July 1; organizers said no street closures would be required and racers would follow traffic laws.
- Item 5a: Council authorized issuance of a solicitor-prepared letter to Suburban Lock Haven Water Authority directing relocation of a Sylvan Drive water line at Suburban's cost prior to June 30, 2023 (roll-call approval).
- Item 5b: Reconsideration of the Sunset Pines phase 2 bid: the lowest bidder, HRI of State College, agreed to extend a price of $240,310 for the phase-two improvements; council advanced the bid matter by recorded vote.
- Resolution 2023-15: Council adopted the annual resolution proclaiming Emergency Medical Services Week from May 21 to May 27 (roll-call approval).
- Amicus brief/support for Westchester Borough stormwater fee case: Council authorized staff to sign on to the Pennsylvania Municipal League's amicus brief, with members retaining the option to withdraw later after review. Motion moved, seconded and approved.
All recorded roll-call votes for items described above were announced in the meeting transcript and show majority approval for the items moved. Several items required only staff follow-up instead of immediate council action (for example, a resident's request for handicap parking at 359 Third Avenue failed for lack of motion and will be handled administratively if pursued).
