The council unanimously approved a bid from the Egan company to install a traffic signal at the intersection of US 63 and Schuman Drive Northwest. The project, expected to begin this summer and finish by year-end, came in favorably compared to the city engineer's estimate, according to city staff. Officials noted that receiving only one bid for this specialized service is typical outside the Twin Cities area.

In a pair of unanimous votes, the council adopted new cybersecurity and disaster recovery policies designed to protect city information systems and ensure operations continue after cyber attacks, natural disasters, or hardware failures. The policies were developed with input from the city's IT technician and the League of Cities. Cloud storage will be used for off-site backups to enhance recovery capabilities.

The council also approved updates to the city's personnel policy, though this vote was not unanimous. Mayor Kane made the motion but voiced strong opposition to several aspects, particularly a provision requiring the city to pay for treatment when employees voluntarily admit substance misuse before job performance is affected. Kane called the mandate, which comes from the League of Minnesota Cities, something "forced onto the taxpayers, onto the city, and onto the employees." One council member cast a dissenting vote, though the measure passed.

A key change to the personnel policy reduces paid time off accrual to 50% of the normal rate during state-mandated paid leave—a compromise Kane proposed. The council deferred decisions on short-term disability benefits beyond the current year, with the matter to be revisited during the 2027 budget workshop. The policy also updated language regarding commercial driver's license suspensions.
