Councilwoman Alves presided. Beauregard, O’Hara, and Punchak attended; DeCristofaro was absent. The meeting covered a broad range of routine and substantive items: consent agenda corrections, payment of bills ($2,968,077.72), two contracts with PAR Corporation for water infrastructure work (asset inventory and trihalomethane removal), a resolution designating the Heritage Association as the local 250th anniversary commission, appointments and resignations, the first reading of the salary and wage ordinance, grant status updates, and a detailed senior services year-end report showing 3,162 seniors served in six months. The meeting was businesslike and collaborative throughout.
