This meeting was an initial budget hearing, so the minutes do not record final approval or rejection of the Fiscal Year 2027 budget. Department leaders answered council questions about staffing, public-records requests, retirement-related sick-leave payouts, public-hearing advertising, and funding for changes to the new recreation building. The council unanimously elected Amanda Haggstrom as budget committee chair and elected Scott Mandeville vice chair by a 5-1 vote.
