Key discussions included the North Park Improvement Plan, which involves collaboration on grants for upgrades such as adding disc golf amenities estimated at $8,000 and renovating the basketball court area to add pickleball courts. The plan allocates $25,000 upfront from the Parks & Recreation budget. Discussions also covered the Department Budget Proposal, which showed an estimated cost increase of approximately $20,465 from 2025, and included approval for a raise for pool staff, and a suggested 5% rate increase for Warren Co. Nutrition on community building rent. Other topics included an update on the Aquatic Center Survey, summer hiring progress, the installation of a PA System at North Park, and ongoing tree removal, as well as adding a residency inconvenience fee and addressing cleaning issues at the Community Building.

Key discussions included the Finance and Bills Report, indicating approximately $55,000 in unallocated funds pending a final invoice. Aquatic Center survey responses were reviewed, showing generally positive feedback, though maintenance issues with shallow end features were noted. Progress on the Ice Rink involved dirt leveling and material staging, with planning for a setup day. Bridge lighting functionality was restored without costly repairs. The Board conducted a Bylaws Review, resulting in the addition of a clause regarding summer meetings, and subsequently approved the updated bylaws. The board is currently seeking 1-2 new members, with additions anticipated in December. Potential improvement projects discussed included Disc Golf, Sand Volleyball, and Pool improvements, leading to the formation of a new Forestry committee. Budget planning meetings will be scheduled shortly.
