Minnesota City’s council met Nov. 12, 2024, at City Hall and approved routine administrative and financial business, hired a deputy clerk and approved several contracts and licenses.
The council began by accepting the Oct. 1 regular- and public-hearing minutes after motions from Councilmember Joe Pellowski with seconds from Councilmember Emily Conners. The Treasurer’s Report for October was accepted on a motion by Conners, seconded by Angie Bohnstengel. The council then approved payment of the listed bills; the total disbursements to be paid were recorded as $9,264.81. Line items included utility charges to Xcel Energy, a $1,193.42 salary entry for Tina Full and professional services to Stantec for $4,413.50.
On personnel, the council unanimously approved hiring Amanda Benter as deputy clerk at $25.00 per hour after a motion by Pellowski seconded by Conners. The minutes state Benter will work on adding online bill pay for sewer payments and will perform other agreed duties and fill in where needed.
The council approved a snow-removal agreement with Potter LLC (motion by Pellowski, seconded by Bohnstengel) and granted the 2025 liquor license for Trails End MC LLC (motion by Pellowski, seconded by Conners); both motions passed unanimously. Council also approved voiding check #6270 due to a printing error.
On utility billing, the council noted six property owners had unpaid sewer bills for 2024; the minutes record that those outstanding balances, plus additional fees, will be added to the owners’ delinquent 2025 property taxes.
The council discussed a building permit application for 150 Mill Street and voted to table the permit until the applicant obtains permission from the adjacent property owner and submits drawings for an addition; the owner is to provide plans at the December meeting and consult with the neighbor.
The council set a meeting for Feb. 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM to discuss a Feasibility Presentation and approved spending up to $750 to purchase six new office items. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Dec. 10, 2024, at 7:00 PM at City Hall. The meeting was adjourned at 9:57 PM.
The minutes were submitted by Tina Full.
