The Woodbury City Council held a virtual meeting on August 12, 2026, addressing several key topics including a tentative settlement on a long-standing real estate dispute, a positive performance evaluation and merit-based salary increase for the city administrator, and public concerns about street assessment costs and transparency. The council reviewed and accepted the 2025 annual comprehensive financial report and audit, which highlighted strong fund balances and sound financial management, including details on capital projects like the water treatment plant.
