The meeting included mayoral comments regarding the recent Trenton Business Trick or Treat event and a staff announcement that the Chief of Police applied for a grant for new bulletproof vests. Under Unfinished Business, the minutes of the October 13, 2025 Regular Council Meeting were approved, and the Parks & Recreation Coordinator position was approved, appointing Megan Donjon for a one-year contract. New Business addressed Ordinance #1877 granting special use at 170 N Oak, which includes the commitment to stripe diagonal parking lanes in the spring. The council also approved the hiring of two patrol officers, Tyler Griesbaum and Danielle Helbig, pending successful completion of required testing and training. The City Attorney will draft language for reviewing paid holidays and personal days for officers upon hire, potentially replacing the 90-day waiting period. Furthermore, the council discussed the Tax Increment Finance (TIF) assistance application from FRV Properties for their business relocation and propane storage consolidation, with preliminary agreement on a reimbursement package structure to be formalized later.
