The East Grand Forks City Council approved a labor agreement with Teamsters Local 120 covering 2026, 2027 and 2028 and authorized the mayor and city administrator to sign the agreement.

Council received the motion on the agenda and moved it forward for a roll call vote. Council Member Dale Helms asked that future labor contracts be brought to a work session for additional discussion before the regular meeting, saying, “in the future, I would love to see these things... come to a work session before they come to a meeting.” City staff responded that tentative agreements become public once both sides have voted tentative agreement and that staff would verify scheduling for future work sessions. Mayor Mark Olstead thanked the committee members who spent time negotiating the agreement.

The roll call vote recorded all present members voting in favor; the motion passed. The minutes do not record detailed economic terms of the agreement in the transcript excerpt; the council authorized city staff to finalize signatures on the agreement.
