Snellings; Jeffrey L. Keating). Newly elected and reelected officials took the oath of office administered by the clerk.

Council nominated and proclaimed Chris Schrader as council president. During the business agenda the council approved the purchase of three SCBA units for the fire department for $26,725.62 to start a multi‑year replacement cycle and approved replacing three of six library windows using general‑fund capital outlay. The consent agenda passed and the council approved Appropriation Ordinance 38‑61 in the amount of $247,003.61; a roll call was recorded with the clerk calling votes for the majority of council members who answered "Yes" on the ordinance.
