Council approves agenda, minutes, claims, zoning appeals and a $203,385 ash-tree removal grant
Summary
The International Falls City Council unanimously approved the meeting agenda (with a deletion), approved minutes for July meetings, passed payments and claims totaling $1,090,549.10, affirmed two Board of Zoning Appeals variances, and authorized soliciting quotes for a $203,385 ash-tree removal project.
At the start of the meeting the council approved the proposed agenda with the deletion of item 3 and later unanimously approved minutes from earlier July meetings. The council also approved transfers and accounts-payable items: a transfer of $869.04 from the lodging tax fund into the general fund and city and library claims totaling $1,090,549.10.
The council considered two Board of Zoning Appeals resolutions and affirmed both variances: one for a side setback at 1209 14th Avenue (resolution 01-26) and another for a side setback at 2400.25 Avenue East (resolution 02-26); both motions carried unanimously. The council also accepted a public works committee recommendation to expend a $203,385 grant to remove ash trees affected by emerald ash borer and authorized soliciting quotes for tree clearing and grubbing in line with the packet recommendation.
No roll-call name-by-name tallies were given in the transcript; votes were recorded as unanimous on each item. The mayor closed the meeting with procedural reminders and noted an Economic Development Authority meeting would follow.
