Regular Council Meeting

The council issued proclamations for Tree Planting Month, Arbor Day, Slow Mo May, National Drinking Water Week, and Older Americans Month. Residents raised concerns about the hypocrisy of these proclamations in light of tree removal at Schedler Field and the use of artificial turf. Discussions also touched on water quality (PFOS chemicals) and reducing single-use plastics in restaurants, with suggestions for wooden alternatives.
