Hanska council adopts final 2025 tax levy and grants two liquor licenses
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting, the Hanska City Council adopted the final tax levy for 2025 and granted two contingent liquor licenses: One for the Nine‑One and one for the Last Chance. Both alcohol approvals require submission of all necessary documents before licenses become effective.
The Hanska City Council on Dec. 9 approved Resolution 2024‑11 adopting the city’s final tax levy for 2025 and granted two liquor‑license resolutions contingent on receipt of required documents.
Councilmember Kjelshus moved to adopt the final tax levy; Larson seconded and the motion passed. The resolution sets the levy figure for the coming budget year and will be filed and posted as required by statute.
On separate motions, the council approved Resolution 2024‑09 to grant a liquor license to Jenna Helget and Michael Rezac for an establishment identified as the Nine‑One and Resolution 2024‑10 to grant a liquor license to Mark Cooling for the Last Chance. Larson moved the Nine‑One approval and Kjelshus seconded; Miller moved the Last Chance approval and the motion carried. Both approvals were explicitly made contingent on the applicants providing “all necessary documents,” meaning the licenses will not be issued until the city’s licensing checklist is complete.
The council provided no roll‑call tallies in the record beyond the motions and recorded outcomes. No public testimony on the levy or licenses was recorded in the minutes.
The council’s action on the levy completes the municipality’s formal local taxing step for 2025; the liquor licenses will be finalized once the applicants submit the outstanding paperwork.
