Council approves fireworks funding and park equipment; consent agenda amended and passed
Summary
The council amended and approved the consent agenda, approved $7,500 to fund this year’s Fourth of July fireworks and unanimously approved parks capital purchases for Glen Hills Golf Course; all votes recorded verbally as unanimous or with three recorded ayes.
At the meeting the Grand Marais City Council approved multiple routine and new-business items.
Consent agenda: The council amended the consent agenda to reflect a change to the parks hiring memo (a listed park clerk position will be assigned to the golf course role) and approved the consent agenda as amended. The motion to approve was made, seconded and passed by verbal record.
Fourth of July fireworks: Staff requested $7,500 from the city to purchase the fireworks package (city will purchase materials and local licensed pyrotechnicians will execute the shows). Council discussed prior year funding (city paid half of a $10,000 show and Visco County/local businesses contributed the remainder) and moved to approve $7,500; the motion passed with three recorded ayes.
Parks capital purchases: The council considered park-board recommendations to buy a grinder and new golf carts for Glen Hills Golf Course to maintain turf and facilities. A motion to approve the purchases was made, seconded and approved unanimously by verbal aye votes.
