Hoyt Lakes council approves routine business: clubhouse lease, investment account, tax write-off, liquor license and intersection support
Summary
Council approved a set of routine items including the 2026 golf clubhouse agreement, an investment account resolution with Parishing LLC, a tax write-off for a tax-forfeited property, a liquor-license transfer for an arena event, and a letter of support for MN169/MN1 intersection reconstruction; votes were carried with one abstention on the intersection letter.
The Hoyt Lakes City Council handled a series of routine agenda items under old and new business and approved each by motion or resolution.
The council approved the 2026 clubhouse (golf course) agreement after confirming equipment-owner listings and a one-year lease term; Councilor Grahams moved and the council carried the motion. Dean and staff will formalize the revised agreement language.
Council also approved Resolution 2026004 authorizing an investment account with Parishing LLC; Councilor Ecman moved and Councilor Jarvala seconded the resolution and the council approved it by roll-call.
On a tax matter, the council approved writing off a tax-forfeited account balance (item described as largely penalties added over time), after staff and legal counsel explained the usual practice of assessing uncollectible balances to tax rolls and the limits of collection remedies.
The council approved a routine liquor-license transfer for the arena for the annual men's tournament.
Finally, the council approved a letter of support for reconstruction of the MN169/MN1 intersection (options discussed included a roundabout); one councilor abstained. Mayor Scott and councilors noted safety concerns on the route to Fortune Bay and supported providing a letter to the county to aid in securing funding.
All items were approved by majority vote as recorded on the meeting agenda; no binding financial commitments beyond those stated in the motions were made during the meeting.
