• Mrs. Jackson noted that levy communications were not included on the agenda and requested a discussion. She explained that, with the school district conducting a levy campaign for the November ballot, she wanted to discuss the City's communication strategy for its renewal levy. Council discussed whether a formal levy committee was necessary for a renewal levy. Following discussion, Council agreed to utilize postcard mailers, consistent with past renewal levy campaigns, but determined that no additional outreach efforts were necessary at this time.
• Mr. Dorf shared that he had helped organize the Oakwood Pride Picnic at Shafor Park and reported that the event was successful. He noted that a limited number of event t-shirts remain available for anyone who may be interested.
• Mrs. Smiddy informed Council that she has been selected to chair a regional e-bike committee organized by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission. The committee includes representatives from ten area jurisdictions.
• Mrs. Jackson requested to discuss the annual report. Mayor Duncan stated that he reviewed the latest draft and believes it is ready for release. Vice Mayor Byington indicated that he generally agreed but noted that a few repetitive sections could still be streamlined. Mrs. Jackson stated that she continues to have several concerns with the draft; however, with the regular meeting scheduled to begin in a few minutes, she did not believe sufficient time remained to address them.

At 7:26 p.m., Mayor Duncan concluded the work session, and Council moved to regular session.
