Motion to name Foss Architects for bond project fails; no architect selected
Summary
A board motion to select Foss Architects for the district bond project failed Dec. 15, 2025 with a 0–5 vote and one abstention, leaving the district without a chosen firm after scheduled interviews.
The Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School District convened a special meeting Dec. 15 to interview three architecture firms and consider selecting one for an upcoming bond project. Board member Luke McGregor moved to select Foss Architects for the bond project; Shannon Pfeiffer seconded. The motion failed with a recorded tally of Yea: 0, Nay: 5, and Ben Jacobson listed as abstaining.
The agenda had scheduled Foss Architects at 4:00 p.m., Widseth Architects at 4:30 p.m., and Wold Architects at 5:00 p.m. The failed motion means the board did not finalize a selection at this meeting and will need to address architect selection at a future meeting or via a follow-up process. The motion text recorded in the meeting minutes reads: "Motion made by Luke McGregor to select Foss Architects for the bond project, seconded by Shannon Pfeiffer; Yea: 0, Nay: 5, Ben Jacobson-Abstain; Motion failed."
