Summary
The Huron City Commission approved consent items, awarded the event‑center food and beverage contract to 1 Oak Events LLC, approved a street mill change order and pay request, authorized a golf‑clubhouse lease with Ben Drought and a liability waiver with Northwestern Energy, and renewed the Slide Hill (Toboggan Hill) lease for one year.
The Huron City Commission on Nov. 24 approved routine consent agenda items, awarded a food and beverage management contract for the Huron Event Center, and approved a series of departmental items.
On the consent agenda the commission approved minutes (11/17/2025), personnel items that included confirming full‑time status for an employee in solid‑waste maintenance and hiring a part‑time seasonal skating attendant, fuel quotes and payment of bills.
The commission awarded bid 2025‑26 for event center food and beverage management to 1 Oak Events LLC (Kevin Tompkins) after Brenda Jager and Mr. Tompkins described the vendor’s experience; the motion carried on roll call.
City Engineer Brett Runge presented Change Order No. 2 for the 2025 Street Mill Milling and Overlay project: additional work increased the final change order by $60,909.96 and payment request No. 2 was $370,927.60; Runge said the project remains under the $1,570,000 budget and the commission approved the change order and payment request.
The commission approved a lease between the City and Ben Drought for the Rodland Creek Golf Course clubhouse (no price changes; dates adjusted so the city covers utilities during hours when city revenue accrues), authorized a five‑year liability waiver from Northwestern Energy for seasonal decorations on city poles (with annual billing info to be provided by Northwestern), and approved a one‑year renewal of the Slide Hill/Toboggan Hill lease while the city attorney reviews longer‑term lease language.
The meeting also included routine operational notices: the Solid Waste Department’s holiday collection schedule and a reminder that city offices will be closed Nov. 27–28 for Thanksgiving.
