Votes at a glance: Crookston council approves redevelopment deed, compensation study phase one and community development director
Summary
At its Jan. 20, 2026, meeting the Crookston City Council approved a deed/donation update for Tri Valley redevelopment, adopted phase one of an ABDO classification and compensation study (estimated phase one cost $32,800; the meeting record did not provide a clear actual implementation cost), and confirmed Taylor Wyom as community development director.
The Crookston City Council took several administrative votes at its Jan. 20, 2026, meeting.
Tri Valley redevelopment: The council approved a resolution (Item 8.01) updating prior language and indicating the city would donate the land to a future developer as part of a redevelopment grant application for the Tri Valley building. The motion passed on roll call.
ABDO compensation study (phase one): The council voted to adopt phase one of the ABDO position classification and compensation study (Item 8.02). The study presented an estimated implementation cost for phase one of $32,800. During discussion a council speaker read a figure for the "actual cost to implement" that appears in the transcript as a garbled number and the meeting record did not supply a clear, confirmed dollar figure for the actual cost.
Community development director appointment: The council unanimously approved Item 8.03, appointing Taylor Wyom as the new community development director. Multiple council members praised Wyom's experience in municipal economic development, grant management and intergovernmental coordination.
All three items were approved by roll call votes during the regular agenda; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded for these motions in the meeting text.
