Granite Falls council reviews options to expand council from five to seven members
Summary
City Manager Jeff Balentine presented options to expand the city council from five to seven members; councilmembers agreed to revisit expansion when the city’s population approaches the statutory 5,000 threshold.
City Manager Jeff Balentine presented options March 11 for expanding the Granite Falls City Council from five to seven members, explaining statutory triggers tied to population. Councilmembers discussed the timing and agreed to return to the question when population figures approach the 5,000-person threshold required to consider expansion.
Balentine framed the options and the council did not take formal action to change the city charter or council size at the meeting. The council’s discussion noted the expansion would be considered in the future as census or official population estimates approach the threshold.
