East Grand Forks council fails to approve police lieutenant promotion after tie vote
Summary
The council deadlocked 3–3 on Resolution 25-09-66 to promote a candidate listed in the packet; the mayor cast the tie-breaking ballot and voted "no," causing the measure to fail.
The East Grand Forks City Council considered Resolution 25-09-66 on Oct. 7, a personnel measure to promote a candidate referenced in the meeting packet to police lieutenant at the salary listed in the packet. The motion produced a 3–3 tie on the roll call: Council members Schumacher, Pakinsky and Riael voted no; Helms, Larson and Peterson voted yes. The mayor was asked to break the tie and cast a vote of "no," so the motion failed.
No further debate or amendment to the measure was recorded in the meeting minutes. The resolution number (25-09-66) and the promotion language were taken from the meeting packet and roll-call votes as read into the record.
Outcome: Resolution 25-09-66 failed on a tie vote with the mayor casting the deciding vote.
