Council adopted a resolution meeting America’s Water Infrastructure Act requirements; staff said the emergency response plan is classified and cannot be shared with the DNR, so only the resolution was made public.

Park & Rec director Brandon Kerian told the council the fitness center needs replacement and presented a roughly $6,000,000 plan; the steering committee expects to raise $600,000–$1,000,000 locally and has a $1,000,000 donation pledged, but said city support and possibly a bond referendum may be required.
