Buhl council approves routine claims, accepts donations, renews MRWA membership and hires a beach attendant
Summary
Council approved consent agenda claims totaling $119,819.34, accepted recreational and library donations, renewed Minnesota Rural Water Association membership for $425, and approved hiring one beach attendant for 2025.
At its July 8 meeting the Buhl City Council approved routine financial items, accepted donations for the Recreation Board and public library, renewed a water-association membership, and approved a seasonal hire.
On the consent agenda the council approved payroll and accounts-payable claims totaling $119,819.34. By motion the council accepted donations for the Independence Day celebration and recreation programs, including gift cards from Super One stores, a $750 contribution from C & B Warehouse Distributing, three cases of water from Buhl Water Company, and an anonymous $200 Visa gift card. The council separately accepted a $300 donation from the United Way of Northeastern MN, a $50 donation from Christine Peterson and $15 in miscellaneous cash for the public library.
Council authorized renewing the Minnesota Rural Water Association associate membership for Aug. 2025–July 2026 for $425, citing MRWA’s assistance with wellhead protection planning and I&I smoke testing support. The council also approved hiring Alexandria Sorensen as a 2025 beach attendant, contingent on pre-employment requirements.
Why it matters: these routine approvals fund municipal operations and community programming, and they acknowledge private-sector support for city events and library services.
Next steps: staff will record accepted donations, process payroll/AP as approved, and complete hiring paperwork for the beach attendant.
