Prinsburg council approves routine business, selects $5,000 insurance deductible and schedules workshops
Summary
The Prinsburg City Council approved routine items including minutes and claims, adopted a one-year insurance option with a $5,000 deductible at $15,897, scheduled workshops for ordinance and personnel/job-description reviews, and planned an inspection of Cardinal Care Center energy use.
At its April 14 meeting, the Prinsburg City Council approved routine consent and business items, including the March 4, 2026 meeting minutes and the claims presented; both motions were moved, seconded and passed (MSP).
Councilmember Mike Bredeck moved to accept an insurance policy option carrying a $5,000 deductible at a one-year price of $15,897; Councilmember Nate Marcus supported the motion and it passed (MSP). The minutes record the selected deductible and premium but do not provide a comparison table of alternate bids or the insurer’s name.
Council noted high Xcel Energy costs at the Cardinal Care Center and assigned City employee Nolan Slagter and Mayor Mitch Swart to inspect the facility. The minutes record the inspection plan but provide no energy-use figures or timeline for the inspection.
The council scheduled a workshop on April 29, 2026 at 6:00 AM to review Dan Negen’s ordinance work and noted a tentative presentation of the 2025 audit on May 12, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Councilmember Dan Negen also asked colleagues to review his suggested edits to Personnel Policy Section 3 and provide feedback at the next meeting. The meeting adjourned after a motion by Mike Bredeck, supported by Nate Marcus (MSP).
The minutes list future items including a workshop to review the Public Works job description at the May meeting. Several agenda items were handled without recorded debate in the minutes; specific follow-up tasks, vendors, and cost detail were not specified.
