The City Council meeting on May 18, 2026, began with the adoption of an amended agenda, removing a work session on the OPC update and a resolution on indigenous equity. The council then entered an executive session to discuss union negotiations. The majority of the meeting was dedicated to a public forum, where numerous residents spoke against the installation of a statue donated by the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi, citing concerns about indigenous identity and historical accuracy. The council ultimately voted against accepting the statue.
