Summary
A roundup of formal actions taken at the June 2 Minot City Council meeting, including approvals of grant-management policy, canvassing board appointments and Service Basin funding, and a failed fund-balance policy motion.
The Minot City Council took several formal actions on June 2. This summary lists the motions, movers, vote tallies, and immediate outcomes recorded at the meeting.
- Consent items: Remaining consent items were approved as moved on the consent agenda (motion passed unanimously). (agenda section 5)
- Zoning Map Amendment: Zoning map amendment for Our Lady of Grace Church approved on second reading (agenda item 5.10). Vote recorded in the meeting as unanimous.
