Mayor's Reception

Dresser reported that she has reserved the conference rooms 1A/1B in City Hall

(adjacent to the Council Chambers) on Thursday, Oct. 9 for a City reception. Time for the

reception is 4:30-6 p.m. with remarks at 5:15 p.m. Moore recommended that speakers

could be Mayor Pro Tem (since Mayor Buffaloe is unavailable), Commander, Chair Moore

then concluding with a ribbon cutting by the Chamber Ambassadors. Moore requested

that Dresser look into if there are any City funds available for refreshments.

Other crew visit events

Dresser also shared that since the Mayor is unavailable the afternoon of Oct. 9, she does

have time reserved in her schedule that morning at 11 a.m. to meet with the crew.

VII. REPORTS

Submarine Updates

Moore shared that she has been emailing the commander and public affairs officer and

they are currently out to sea. In addition, Congress has not passed the fiscal year 2026

budget (to begin Oct. 1), so until such a time that budget is approved, no travel plans can

be made. Moore suggested that plans continue to be made as tentative, with the

possibility of having to cancel if their lack of budget approval prevents travel.

None.

The Task Force will meet as needed. No date determined.

X. ADJOURNMENT

Motion to adjourn at 3:15 p.m. made by Kelly, seconded by Walker; motion
