The council approved the renewal of the annual agreement with the Mountainland Association of Governments for the senior congregate meals program, with funding remaining consistent from the previous year. They also approved the annual renewal of contracts for the cheer and martial arts programs, including amendments to ensure consistency between contracts and a commitment to formalize background check processes for contractors working with children. Additionally, the council discussed policies regarding city memberships for vendors like Amazon and Sam's Club, aiming to consolidate accounts for efficiency.
