The City Council approved a task authorization for Faden Builders to repair the 3rd Avenue and Baker Street parking lot. The project involves replacing the existing plastic grid system with a concrete paver system and concrete ribbon, along with regrading improvements. The cost is $226,464.34, and the City has over $1.2 million budgeted for parking improvements. The new system will be more permeable than the existing one. The work is anticipated to take approximately sixty (60) days. The City Council also approved Resolution No. 2026-14 for an Aerial Fireworks Display at the July 3, 2026 Freedom on the Waterfront Event and Resolution No. 2026-15, establishing the Mission Statement, Core Values, and SERVE Guiding Principles for the Nathaniel Bell Community Resource and Recreation Center, with a provision for the City Attorney to revise language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. A code lien waiver/reduction was approved for 1422 Plymouth Avenue, reducing the fine to $10,000, provided it is paid along with $979.35 in staff costs by June 4, 2026, and debris is removed by the same date; failure to comply will revert the fine to $44,779.35. Updates were provided on stormwater facilities recovery and landfill matters.
