Moose Lake council sets April 14 deadline in skate-sharpener MOU; mayor abstains
Summary
At a March 28 special meeting, the Moose Lake City Council voted to adhere to a Memorandum of Understanding for the First National Bank Arena skate sharpener and set an April 14, 2025 deadline for return of city property; Mayor Michalski abstained from the vote.
The Moose Lake City Council voted March 28 to adhere to a Memorandum of Understanding concerning a skate-sharpener at the First National Bank Arena and set April 14, 2025, as the deadline for the return of City property. Councilor Juntunen made the motion and Councilor Huso seconded; Councilors Ohly, Juntunen, Huso and Lower voted yes and Mayor Michalski abstained.
The action followed council discussion about disagreements over the MOU. Mayor Michalski said that Mr. Syrett had "expressed disagreement with Section II of the Memorandum of Understanding," bringing the substance of the MOU’s Section II to the council’s attention. Councilor Huso told the council she was frustrated by the timeline for returning City property and pressed for a clear return date to be added to the agreement. Councilor Lower joined Huso in expressing concern about what they described as Mr. Syrett’s unwillingness to engage with the MOU in its entirety.
Councilor Juntunen’s motion directed adherence to the existing MOU while modifying its language to include a specific date for the return of City property; the council recorded the vote with four yes votes and one abstention. The meeting record shows no amendment to the motion beyond adding the return date and no referral for additional staff work.
Earlier in the meeting the council approved the agenda (motion by Councilor Huso, seconded by Ohly) and later adjourned after a motion by Juntunen and second by Lower. The special meeting convened at 10:00 a.m. at Moose Lake City Hall and concluded after the adjournment vote.
The council did not record direct quotes beyond the paraphrased statements in the meeting minutes, and the minutes do not specify further steps beyond modifying the MOU to state the return date of April 14, 2025.
