The Woodstock City Council held a special meeting on June 30, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. to address time-sensitive items. The council approved a consent calendar with several routine items and resolutions, and debated a contract award for the Stage Left Renovation, which passed 5-1 after a councilmember requested separate consideration. Public comment and council discussion also focused on the need for a formal policy governing the city's newly approved Flock license plate reader system.
All consent calendar items were approved unanimously.
