Council approves corrected interlocal agreement, adopts Resolution 5-2026 with Rural Fire district
Summary
Wakefield council approved a corrected Interlocal Agreement with the Wakefield Rural Fire Protection District and adopted Resolution 5-2026 authorizing the agreement; the document was signed the same evening and the vote was unanimous among members present.
The Wakefield City Council on Aug. 26 approved a corrected Interlocal Agreement with the Wakefield Rural Fire Protection District and adopted Resolution 5-2026 authorizing the agreement.
Mayor James R. Lehmkuhl moved to take the agreement up earlier in the meeting so it could be signed by Rural Fire Board Treasurer Galen Samuelson, who was present in the chamber. Clerk Pam Vander Veen had previously given an incorrect version to the WRFB secretary/treasurer; Samuelson indicated that version "was not the correct version," and City Attorney Henderson later confirmed an error in the revised agreement. Council Member Geiser moved to approve the correct Interlocal Agreement, and Council Member Hansen seconded. The roll call was Brenn: aye; Geiser: aye; Hansen: aye; Nelson: absent. The motion carried and the agreement was approved and made ready for signing.
Council then approved Resolution 5-2026 authorizing and approving the agreement. Council Member Hansen moved to approve the resolution; Council Member Brenn seconded. The vote was the same: Brenn: aye; Geiser: aye; Hansen: aye; Nelson: absent. The resolution passed and the City Clerk certified the minutes.
The action was procedural and intended to correct a previously distributed, incorrect revision so the properly authorized version could be delivered to the Rural Fire Board that evening. No further amendments were recorded at the meeting.
