Council approves tree-grate purchase and routine bills; moves budget funds on auditors' recommendation
Summary
Council approved purchase and installation of seven Main Street tree grates, carried motions to approve the consent agenda and bills totaling $77,556.06, and documented a transfer of $55,000 and $570,000 between capital and general funds per auditors' request.
The Mahnomen City Council approved several administrative and procurement items at its April 6 meeting, including purchase and installation of seven remaining Main Street tree grates and acceptance of Gordon's Construction's quote for concrete slab-on-grade installation.
The council adopted the consent agenda, which included approval of the March 16 minutes and a 2026 budget change moving a non-grant-funded E Washington Avenue capital improvement to the General Fund. The packet contains auditors' instructions documenting fund transfers of $55,000 and $570,000 from capital accounts to the general fund because grant funding was not received.
Council also approved the April 6 vendor bill list totaling $77,556.06 (detailed vendor list included in the packet). The Street Department reported that a city street sweeper was live on auction until April 26 and that a backup snowplow would be listed for bid to raise funds for repairs and reserves; council approved listing the snowplow for bid.
These approvals were carried unanimously and recorded in the minutes; the packet includes vendor quotes, the contractor proposal for tree-grate concrete work ($12,566.40 excluding pea rock in the proposal), and the bills register.
