Wrenshall council approves $609,000 Task Order to pursue $5.3M PFA sewer funding in 3–2 vote
Summary
On Feb. 4 the council voted 3–2 to sign Task Order #7 (Infrastructure Improvements) at $609,000 to certify a looping/co‑located sewer project for eligibility for roughly $5.3 million in PFA funding; vote recorded as Gvesrude‑No, House‑No, Weber‑Yes, Studniski‑Yes, Bloom‑Yes.
The Wrenshall City Council on Feb. 4 approved signing Task Order #7 and adopted Resolution 26‑01 to move a looping/co‑located sewer infrastructure project toward eligibility for Public Facilities Authority (PFA) funding estimated at $5.3 million. Engineers present described Task Order #7 as an Infrastructure Improvements package priced at $609,000 to certify the project for PFA consideration. The council approved the motion on a 3–2 roll call vote: Councilor Joyce Gvesrude and Councilor Kevin House voted No; Councilors Sabrina Weber, Steve Studniski and Jeff Bloom voted Yes.
During the discussion, engineers Laura Ostlie and Nathan Fiest answered council questions and staff noted concerns from some members that the sewer project might not be the city’s highest priority. Despite those concerns the majority concluded proceeding with the Task Order would position the project to compete for an estimated $5.3 million in PFA funding. The council adopted Resolution 26‑01 to authorize moving the project forward and directed staff to sign the Task Order.
