Long Prairie council acknowledges December donations; departments report routine operations
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 24-01-02-01 to acknowledge December donations (including $2,000 from Farm-Rite for fire-department cameras and two $1,000 gifts) and received routine reports from public works, police, the liquor store, the library and administration.
The Long Prairie City Council on Jan. 2 adopted Resolution #24-01-02-01 acknowledging donations received in December and reviewed routine departmental reports.
The resolution lists donors and amounts: Tom & Kate Gray ($25) and Cindy Fuchs ($25), Chuck & Nancy Eldred ($25), Verna Toenyan ($20), the LP Hockey Association ($1,000), Central Bi ($1,000), and Amy Berg & Jeff Lucas ($100). Separately, Farm-Rite Long Prairie provided $2,000 and supplied two backup cameras and a half-price third camera for fire-department trucks; the donation appears in the minutes alongside the resolution. The resolution text in the minutes states the City Council "acknowledges and accepts the donations received the month of December" and is attested by Theodore Gray, City Administrator/Clerk, and Council member Lilah Gripne.
In departmental reports, Council member Clint Krueger relayed that Public Works is conducting routine rounds and has been busy with wastewater treatment plant maintenance, pothole patching, street sweeping and shop projects; crews will plow snow as needed, repair and paint picnic tables and continue wastewater plant tasks in coming weeks. Police Chief Ryan Hanson reported 164 service calls over the past two weeks and announced EMS training scheduled Jan. 26–28. Council member Jim Kreemer said the 2023 liquor-store audit was completed Jan. 1 without issues. Council member Lilah Gripne gave a brief update on upcoming library events, and City Administrator Theodore Gray reminded the council of Planning & Zoning meetings and a Comprehensive Plan meeting on Jan. 24.
The minutes do not list specific follow-up actions tied to the donations beyond adoption of the resolution, nor do they provide dollar amounts or schedules for planned public-works projects beyond brief descriptions.
Provenance: Donation list and resolution text are recorded in the minutes (Resolution #24-01-02-01) and department reports are summarized in the Jan. 2 meeting minutes.
