Isanti City plans ribbon‑cutting for new police building; council asks staff to check Unity Park lease options for Sandy Fire Department
Summary
Council supported a ribbon‑cutting for the new police department, asked staff to update the Google address and consider a modest event budget, and asked staff to research lease options so the Sandy Fire Department can pursue a building near Unity Park (sale may be restricted by past state funding).
Council members supported holding a ribbon‑cutting to mark the new Isanti police department building and discussed logistics such as timing, officer attendance, giveaways and food trucks. Staff reported the Google address has been updated and a council member suggested a working budget of about $2,500 to cover event supplies and outreach. The council left final event details to the police chief and staff.
Separately, the Sandy Fire Department raised a request to acquire or develop a stretch of Unity Park near the front gate to build additional facilities. Staff said Unity Park was purchased with state outdoor recreation funds in 1979 and that sale of the property may be restricted; staff agreed to research whether a long‑term lease or rental arrangement would be possible and promised to bring findings back the following month.
Next steps: staff to finalize the police‑station event plan, confirm Google/address updates and bring a budget recommendation; staff will also investigate Unity Park restrictions and long‑term lease options for the Sandy Fire Department.
