East Grand Forks City Council approves hemp retail registrations, equipment purchases and payments
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the East Grand Forks City Council approved two low‑potency hemp edible retail registrations, authorized equipment purchases for the police department and utilities, and approved accounts payable and payroll disbursements. All recorded motions passed on roll call with members present voting yes.
The East Grand Forks City Council on April 7 approved a slate of routine and vendor-related items, including two retail registrations for low‑potency hemp edibles, several equipment purchases and authorization to pay city invoices and payroll.
Council members voted to adopt Resolution 26‑04‑31, granting a low‑potency hemp edible retail registration for Pops Liquor, and Resolution 26‑04‑32, granting a similar registration for Cana Corners. Both measures were moved and seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote with all members present recorded as voting yes.
The council also approved Resolution 26‑04‑33 to purchase a video recording system for the East Grand Forks Police Department interview room and Resolution 26‑04‑34 to purchase two pumps from Midwest Pump Works for a stated total of $91,728; both measures passed on roll call. The transcript lists the police video system cost as "$14,8540," which appears to be a transcription error; the council record should be consulted for the verified amount.
Separately, the council authorized the City Administrator/Clerk/Treasurer to issue payment for accounts payable invoices totaling $46,324.30 and approved the April 3, 2026 payroll. The minutes and roll calls show these measures carried with all present voting yes.
The approvals were made as part of the council’s consent and regular agenda. Next steps include routine contract processing and vendor procurement in line with each approved resolution; the city will publish final contract amounts and procurement records in accordance with its purchasing policies.
