The Council approved the tax levy, and confirmed that Taylor Law Offices is the city's legal representative. That action allowed the City to seek grant funds for replacement of a squad car. Action on a TIF agreement iwth TJRS Properties was tabled to allow for further review of the agreement. 

The Council approved the names of three streets in South Point Subdivision.
