Ellendale council to consider supplemental aid for Fire Relief Association as fire hall nears completion
Summary
The March 12 agenda lists Resolution 2026-13, which would authorize supplemental aid to the Fire Relief Association; the council also received a fire department update noting a Substantial Completion agreement for the new fire hall was signed Feb. 27, 2026 and a nine-item punch list was sent to contractor APX.
The Ellendale City Council placed Resolution 2026-13 on its March 12, 2026 agenda; the resolution would authorize a supplemental aid payment to the Fire Relief Association, but the transcript text does not record a vote.
The council’s agenda also included an update from the Fire Department indicating the city signed a Substantial Completion agreement for the new fire hall on Feb. 27, 2026. The department reported that staff had begun cleanup work inside the hall and that a nine-item punch list had been sent to contractor APX to address before final completion.
The supplemental-aid resolution is listed under new business with an explicit “Vote on Resolution” entry, but the provided transcript does not show deliberation on the funding amount, a motion, or a recorded vote. Because the agenda notes the council will vote on the resolution, the next procedural step is formally considering the motion during the meeting; the transcript text provided here does not show the outcome.
The fire hall items on the agenda signal forthcoming administrative and contract actions: the punch list to APX must be completed for final acceptance, and any supplemental aid to the Fire Relief Association would be processed only after whatever formal motion and vote the council records. The agenda also lists an additional, unspecified resolution labeled “2026-1x.”
No direct quotes are recorded in the provided transcript excerpt. The council’s agenda indicates Mayor Groth and the listed council members were scheduled to provide updates later in the meeting; the transcript text supplied does not include their remarks or any vote results.
