The council approved ordinances on third reading and approval. Ordinance 15A authorizes an agreement with the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) and appropriates funds.

Both ordinances passed with an 8-0 vote [cite: 934, 935, 936, 937, 975, 976, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989, 990, 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1016, 1017, 1018, 1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1023, 1024, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989, 990, 991, 992, 993, 994, 995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1016, 1017, 1018, 1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1023, 1024].
Emergency Approval Granted for Summit Road Improvement Project Rights-of-Way Purchase
The council approved an ordinance on emergency adoption as part of the consent agenda. The ordinance authorizes the mayor to purchase rights-of-way and easements for the Summit Road Improvement Project, appropriating funds and declaring an emergency. The ordinance passed with an 8-0 vote [cite: 896, 897, 898, 899, 900, 901, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 907, 908, 909, 910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 920, 921].
Wastewater Department to Acquire New Camera Van for Sewer Line Inspections
The Public Service and Transportation Committee approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to purchase a camera van and related equipment for the wastewater department, waiving competitive bidding. Director Dorman explained the current equipment is a small trailer, whereas the new unit is an all-enclosed, climate-controlled van with a generator, allowing for better work in all conditions. This will enable more efficient inspection of sewer and storm lines. The resolution was forwarded to council for approval [cite: 703, 704, 705, 706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712, 713, 714, 715, 716, 717, 718, 719, 720, 721, 722, 723, 724, 725].
Short-Term Rental Occupancy Rules Clarified; City Authority Over Right-of-Way Boxes Confirmed
During the second reading of ordinances, Councilmember Hill requested that item 14B be pulled for discussion. Item 14A, concerning prohibiting short-term rentals, was clarified to regulate rather than prohibit, with the maximum occupancy defined by the number of bedrooms in the dwelling. Item 14B, repealing and replacing Chapter 907 (Rights of Way Management Policy), was discussed regarding the city's ability to compel companies to remove damaged or non-functional boxes from rights-of-way. It was confirmed that the city already had this authority, and while efforts are made to improve compliance, it remains a challenge due to company buyouts and transfers [cite: 934, 935, 936, 937, 938, 939, 940, 941, 942, 943, 944, 945, 946, 947, 948, 949, 950, 951, 952, 953, 954, 955, 956, 957, 958, 959, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972, 973, 974, 975, 976, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986].
Street Maintenance and East Main/Bryce Intersection Improvement Projects Advance
The Public Service and Transportation Committee reviewed an ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract for the 2026 street maintenance and improvement project. Director Dorman explained that the ordinance uses the engineer's estimate and lists proposed streets, with the ability to award contracts up to 10% over the estimate with council approval. Bids will be opened before the next reading, and the contractor and bid price will be filled in. The ordinance was forwarded for a first reading. Another ordinance authorizes the mayor to contract with EMHT for engineering design services for the East Main Street and Bryce Road intersection improvement project. Director Dorman noted this project will be phased due to complexity and cost, with the first phase focusing on the intersection. Federal funds are available and need to be utilized. The design will be presented to council before construction. The ordinance was forwarded for a first reading [cite: 633, 634, 635, 636, 637, 638, 639, 640, 641, 642, 643, 644, 645, 646, 647, 648, 649, 650, 651, 652, 653, 654, 655, 656, 657, 658, 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665, 666, 667, 668, 669, 670, 671, 672, 673, 674, 675, 676, 677, 678, 679, 680, 681, 682, 683, 684, 685, 686, 687, 688, 689, 690, 691, 692, 693, 694, 695, 696, 697, 698, 699, 700, 701, 702].
