1. The City Council voted on rules and official mapping of the public trail system at Prairie Park. The rules and mapping will posted at the park this Fall and the “parks” page of the city website will be undergoing an update to feature this information and to better highlight and promote all of the city’s parks. The solar farm project continues to be tabled, and there are no current plans for ongoing discussion in the near future. The city will be forming a volunteer group of individuals that are interested in assisting with keeping the trails at Prairie Park maintained.

2. Phase #1 construction on North State Street is nearly complete. Unless there are unforeseen weather delays, the roadway will fully open by the second week of September. Phase #2 (Wells to Ogden) is expected to begin in 2026, as the City Council develops plans and budgets for capital projects over the next two months. Additional neighborhood meetings will take place before the construction of Phase #2 begins in 2026, and all neighboring property owners on the route will be invited to attend and ask questions.
