Long Prairie council approves $1.11M in bills, updates mobile food permit; public raises bike-path signage safety
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Long Prairie City Council approved the consent calendar including $1,111,371.42 in bills, converted a hawker permit to a mobile food unit permit pending state tax ID and insurance, removed another hawker permit, heard public concerns about bike path signage, and adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
The Long Prairie City Council unanimously approved its consent calendar at a meeting Wednesday evening, which included authorization of $1,111,371.42 in bills and adjustments to two vendor permits.
Mayor Jim Kreemer called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Council Members Lilah Gripne and Clint Krueger led the consent-calendar motioning and seconding: Gripne moved to approve the consent calendar with two changes — converting a Hawker Permit for "Blanch the Baker" to a Mobile Food Unit Permit conditioned on the provider supplying a State Tax ID number and proof of liability insurance, and removing the Hawker Permit for Carmen L Gonzalez — and Krueger seconded. The council recorded the motion as unanimously approved.
The consent calendar also included approval of meeting minutes from June 10 and routine procedural items. The bills presented for approval covered the period May 22 through June 17, 2026, and totaled $1,111,371.42.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, a member of the public raised concerns about safety and urged updates to bike path signage to improve clarity and safety for users. The council did not record a formal response or next-step assignment during the minutes for that comment.
Council Member Clint Krueger moved to adjourn at 7:25 p.m.; Council Member Lilah Gripne seconded and the motion was recorded as unanimously approved.
The meeting minutes list City Administrator/Clerk Candace Bruder as absent in attendance notes, but her name and title also appear on the printed signature line of the minutes; the minutes do not reconcile that discrepancy. No ordinances, resolutions, or formal policy actions beyond the consent approvals were recorded in the minutes.
