In Episode Fifteen of Wilmington Weekly, Matt previews the Wilmington City Council workshop and regular meeting for Thursday, April 16, 2026.

This week’s agenda includes a Wilmington Fire Department organizational structure update from Safety Director Nick Eveland, the annual ODOT road salt participation item, supplemental appropriations, a donation to the police department, surplus sanitation equipment, and a public hearing on adult family homes.

Matt also looks at what stands out on a lighter agenda, including what is not there. There appears to be no visible movement in this meeting packet on either water fluoridation or curbside recycling, despite both issues drawing significant public attention earlier this year.
