The council provided an operational update on Oakdale's three outdoor skating rinks: Eastside Park, Walton Pleasure Rink, and Walton Hockey Rink. The council acknowledged the Public Works Department for their ongoing maintenance efforts to keep these recreational facilities in working order during the winter season.

In community news, the council announced the Maplewood Oakdale Lions Club's "Fleece and Thank You" event, taking place at the Discovery Center. The volunteer initiative focuses on three charitable projects: creating blankets for hospitalized children, assembling care kits for chemotherapy patients, and making valentines for veterans. The event offers residents an opportunity to contribute to local causes.

The Oakdale Police Department issued a public safety alert during the meeting, warning residents about increasingly sophisticated scams circulating in the community. Police advised residents to be cautious about sharing financial information over the phone and to avoid making unusual payments to unknown parties. The department detailed common strategies scammers use to target residents, urging vigilance as these schemes continue to evolve.

No formal votes were recorded during the meeting, which served primarily as an informational session for the community.
