Council passes routine resolutions: investment‑fund extension, task orders and a temporary liquor license
Summary
At the meeting the council approved a Minnesota Investment Fund extension for Northstar Line, approved AE2S and ADS task orders for water infrastructure and IC support, approved bills and disbursements, and granted a 45‑day temporary liquor license extension while a property sale closes.
The Crookston City Council approved several routine and operational resolutions during the meeting, taking roll‑call votes on items that advance city maintenance, infrastructure and administrative business.
Key approvals: - A resolution approving a one‑year extension under the Minnesota Investment Fund for Northstar Line was approved following staff recitation that the item followed a prior public hearing. - A task order with AE2S for lead service line planning and bidding (discussed separately) was approved; staff said the contract will allow a construction task order to follow. - A task order for instrumentation and control (IC) support services (time‑and‑materials, capped at $50,000) with ADS/AE2S was approved; company representatives explained rate schedules and confirmed only INC and IT categories are expected to apply to Crookston’s work. - The council approved the city’s bills and disbursements resolution after a series of council questions about line items (including refunds to the University of Minnesota Crookston and vendor coding for utilities and maintenance). - The council approved a 45‑day temporary extension of a liquor license while the sale of the property is finalized; staff presented an amendment to the purchase‑and‑sale agreement and a new anticipated closing window.
All listed resolutions were adopted by roll call. Staff indicated they will follow up on specific invoice and department coding questions raised during the bills/disbursements discussion and will return to council with requested details when available.
Ending: The meeting concluded with a motion to close to a session pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05 to discuss a negotiated land sale; council recorded attendees for the closed session and adjourned the public meeting.
