Council approves July 4 radio ads and accepts population estimates; events committee reports low turnout
Summary
Council approved $750 for 75 radio ads promoting the medallion hunt and other advertising; accepted Minnesota State Demographic Center 2025 estimates (population 615; households 309); Events & Planning reported low turnout at a fundraiser and set parade plans.
Merrill Lowney proposed radio advertising to promote the Medallion Hunt and other activities, offering 75 ads (including 50+ promos) for $750.00; Council approved purchasing the radio ad package by motion.
The Events & Planning Committee reported low turnout for the Taco Feed (30 attendees) and discussed parade logistics, naming Jim Lamke as parade emcee and asking for volunteers to assist vendors. Jessica Pellinen noted CEDA’s 40th anniversary event (June 17, 2026, at the Event Center in Floodwood).
Council also reviewed the Minnesota State Demographic Center’s 2025 estimates and agreed to accept the April 1, 2025 population estimate of 615 and household estimate of 309 rather than contest them. On property maintenance enforcement, council decided to post a Facebook notice about unmowed lawns and to send letters if the post does not produce compliance.
