$65,000 in savings from the existing $385,000 lighting project budget, no new money needed.
Hydrowave project at Auger Falls
No city money is committed yet, but commissioners flagged that parking, restrooms, and access improvements could require significant future infrastructure spending.

Prior funding request was denied; no current dedicated funding.

The previously discussed two-year agreement and maintenance responsibilities now fall to the Chamber, not the City.
