The Proctor City Council on Sept. 2, 2025, approved a slate of routine and substantive actions.
Motions to approve pre‑agenda (Aug. 18) and council (Aug. 6) minutes passed by voice vote. The council approved an amended agenda that added two items: Resolution 29‑25 (front‑yard variance) and an $800 increase to the fire department retirement benefit.
During a scheduled garbage‑assessment public hearing, no members of the public attended in person or by phone; the council approved the attached garbage‑assessment list by resolution after staff confirmed there were no errors.

Boisen to Working Street Foreman effective Oct. 17, 2025. - Approved Resolution 27‑25 to add Morton Capital Markets LLC as an additional depository, contingent on rates following the attached policy. - Voted not to wave municipal consent on the Mn Highway 2 project (Resolution 28‑25), a choice staff recommended so the city would retain a seat at the table for project discussions. - Approved Resolution 29‑25 granting a variance for a front‑yard fence. - Approved an $800 increase to the fire department annual retirement benefit in response to a departmental request.
