Warroad council approves $57,000 housing engagement study
Summary
Warroad City Council voted unanimously to contract a housing engagement study whose first phase was presented at a cost of $57,000 to assess local housing needs and develop an action plan.
The Warroad City Council unanimously approved a proposal Feb. 23 to conduct a housing engagement study, with the first phase estimated at $57,000.
Sarah Carling (WCD) presented the study proposal to assess community housing needs and develop an action plan process. Councilor Michele Vandal moved to approve the first phase of the study at a cost of $57,000; Councilor Kevin Thompson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The minutes record approval of the first-phase contract amount but do not detail the study’s funding source, timeline for completion, or next steps for public engagement. The council also authorized related maintenance work on Government Island later in the meeting after a separate request from Carling.
The approval authorizes staff to begin work on the study; the minutes indicate the council expects follow-up reports but do not set a formal deadline in the record.
