In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around budget allocations and the management of local assets, particularly the Morgan Farm. The meeting began with a debate on the bid amount for a project, where participants expressed concerns about inflated costs and the rationale behind a proposed $500,000 bid. A motion was made to adjust the bid to $577,774.51, which passed unanimously after a brief discussion.

The conversation then shifted to the Morgan Farm, a property owned by the city for many years. Officials announced plans to transition the farm into a community asset, appointing Mike and Roxy Christiansen as farm managers. The farm has historically been leased to private parties but will now focus on supporting local youth involved in agricultural projects.

To facilitate this transition, the city plans to establish the farm as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, separating it from direct city management. This move aims to enhance community engagement and ensure the farm serves as a resource for educational and agricultural initiatives. The meeting concluded with a commitment to further develop the farm's potential as a community asset.
