- Frank Ciotti will be the council president for the next year. Howard Walkup will serve as council vice president.
- The town will determine whether or not to keep the video camera system they purchased last year.
- Councilman Lee Deaderick said that in the future the town's minutes will be even shorter and less descriptive than they presently are due to the time involved for the clerk in transcribing them.
- The Council voted to withdraw an agreement made last year to pay for upkeep on a portion of land south of McIntosh that the Conservation Trust had been attempting to purchase.
- Beverly Dodder addressed the council asking what the proper procedure should be for the Friends of McIntosh during the festival. This year's festival brought abortion protesters who had put up graphic signs on the right of ways in front of residents yards who did not want the signs there.
