Council adopts 2026 fee schedule (no skating fee) and reviews board appointments
Summary
Council approved the 2026 fee schedule and clarified there will be no open skating fee for 2026 because of staffing and cash-handling concerns; council also reviewed multiple boards/commissions appointments and asked staff to confirm charter minimums for some commissions.
The Crookston City Council adopted the 2026 fee schedule and clarified a widely circulated social‑media post: there will be no fee for open skating during the 2026 season. Staff explained the decision was driven by staffing limitations and concerns about handling cash at the rink; the item was discussed during the fee schedule presentation and the council carried the resolution by roll call.
Council then reviewed updates to boards and commissions. Several members agreed to serve additional terms on library, park and planning bodies. Staff said they will confirm charter requirements for the charter commission’s minimum membership and follow up on scheduling to ensure statutory reporting requirements are met. Councilors were appointed as liaisons to outside boards (airport, CVB, cheetah board, etc.), and staff will present final appointments at an upcoming council meeting.
