At its meeting, the Rockville Town Council approved routine business: the minutes of the March 11, 2026 meeting, the town’s March expenditures and the March 2026 financial statements. Council members thanked Shelley for preparing the materials and noted an upcoming preliminary budget review for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
During administrative reports, Councilmember Jeff (spoken by the council) said recent cemetery maintenance work has "really looks good" and recommended continuing monthly checks. Discussion referenced an initial cleaning charge mentioned as $160 and an ongoing monthly check estimated in the discussion at about $80; the council asked staff to continue monthly oversight and to report back on costs.
Members also discussed rising power bills at the community center and said they will require outside users (for example, Zion Arts) that hold events to pay $20 per day to help cover electricity costs when they use the facility. The council noted Virgin has offered a permanent room to the organization but they have not accepted.
Staff said notices went to property owners in a proposed historic‑district boundary and that a public information meeting will be held on the fourth (the meeting is not a public hearing). Staff explained that if 51% of property owners in the area object the nomination will not proceed; the council expects to place the item on the May agenda for a vote and that consultant Kirk Huffaker has requested an additional $2,000 for extended work on the nomination.
Other reports covered a ribbon cutting for the Zion Quarter Park & Ride and shuttle service arrangements; council members said a formal Rockville bus stop will require a safe parking and passenger pickup location before SunTran or other providers will add a stop.
No additional formal actions were taken on these reports beyond the approval of minutes, expenditures and financial statements.
