The council’s regular session will follow at 6:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting will begin with a public hearing on the proposed 2025–2026 City of Minden budget.
Following the hearing, the council will consider routine business, including adoption of minutes from six previous meetings, a resolution to adopt the 2025–2026 budget, a resolution regarding city bank accounts, and a resolution to reschedule the September 2025 regular session.
