- Civic Review Online Software for Applications: Implementation has started. This will help with tracking fire inspections, and all fire plan reviews.
- Payment Processing Option, Clover or Strike: Correction to be make Clover or Stripe payment processing. Clover was set up last month and has been working for office card and online payments.

If Clover gets the links working, we can transition to Clover at that time. Approval to move forward with Stripe account.
