City Council agendas from late June listed a $700,000 construction contract for pedestrian improvements and the certification of a new mayor and councilmember, but minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes are not confirmed in the record.

The regular City Council agenda included certifying the election of Michael French as Mayor and Nikki Shaw as District 6 Councilmember, following the June 13, 2026 Runoff Election. A separate special council meeting was also scheduled to declare the official canvass and results of that runoff, which included races for mayor and one council seat.
