The tax rate received first-reading approval but the minutes do not show final adoption. Council also approved Glenn Russell for a three-year term on the Standing Rock Cemetery Board beginning January 1, 2027, and approved cost-of-living pay increases for cemetery personnel, although the increase amounts are unavailable. Officials said an audit found that the agreement describing the City and Township’s financial responsibilities for the cemetery could not be located.
