- Consent resolutions and agreements: The council adopted resolutions and agreements covering depositaries and investment firms for 2026, state loan documents for infrastructure projects (screw pump replacement, sanitary sewer interceptor rehabilitation), amendments to purchase-and-sale and memorandum-of-understanding documents, and authorizations for procurement and MOUs. Appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Historic Preservation Commission were also approved as part of the consent agenda.

Votes on consent items were generally unanimous; in several liquor-license transfers the transcript records a single abstention (Councillor Pollock) while the motion otherwise passed.
