Mayor Pat Raffety presided over a special session of the Milbank City Council at 12:00 p.m. on Sept. 26, 2025, at the Milbank Visitor Center, 1001 East 4th Avenue. Present were Mayor Pat Raffety and council members Josh Karels, Ryan Gruba, Mindy Rogers, Craig Weinberg, John Wehy and Roger Briggs; staff members included Steve Pendergrass and Attorney Mark Reedstrom.
During the session "a motion was made and seconded to enter Executive Session on legal matters," according to the minutes. The record states the council returned from that executive session but provides no details about the topics discussed; executive sessions are typically confidential and the minutes do not disclose subject matter or deliberations.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn; the minutes state, "The motion carried 6-0." The record does not specify who moved or seconded either motion or which members cast recorded votes. The roll call lists seven officials as present (the mayor plus six council members), while the adjournment tally is recorded as 6-0; the minutes do not resolve that discrepancy.
The minutes were attested and signed. The document includes an instruction to publish once on Oct. 1, 2025; the stated publication cost is left blank in the minutes.
