Summary
Council awarded a $537,927.12 contract to North Vally Incorporated for Project 26-2 mill and overlay work, accepted the 2025 Community Development Annual Report, authorized $101,264.67 to Community Strength Foundation from lawful gambling funds, and adopted a resolution calling 2017A bonds for redemption; all motions passed unanimously.
The Coon Rapids City Council on March 3 adopted multiple financial and contract actions, approving a road-repair contract, accepting the Community Development annual report and authorizing nonprofit payments from lawful-gambling proceeds.
Council adopted Resolution 26-2(9) to award the 2026 Full Depth Reclamation and Mill & Overlay Project 26-2 contract to North Vally Incorporated in the amount of $537,927.12. Public Works Director Himmer clarified the contract covers asphalt reclamation, milling and overlay work; seal coating, crack sealing and pavement marking work will be considered separately at a later meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
Council also accepted the 2025 Community Development Annual Report. Community Development Director Brown said the city issued about 6,700 building permits in 2025, a modest increase from 2024 though the overall permit value was lower due to fewer large commercial or multifamily projects. Councilmembers commended staff for permit follow-ups.
On lawful gambling funds, Council authorized payment of $101,264.67 to Community Strength Foundation and noted about $40,500 remains in the city's gambling fund balance for future activities. The motion passed unanimously.
Finally, Council adopted Resolution 26-34 calling for redemption of the 2017A improvement bonds. The motion passed unanimously.
Several consent items were approved earlier in the meeting, including resolution 26-33 (Historical Commission appointments) and final payment to Cedar Creek Energy for Project 24-20 (solar at the West Water Treatment Plant). All recorded votes in the minutes were unanimous.
