The remaining consent approvals included prior minutes, claims and the treasurer's report, temporary maintenance staffing, city building security work, Brian Weichelt's temporary habitation permit, switching the uniform vendor, Heritage Festival support, the ARPA standard allowance resolution, Planning and Zoning Commission policy revisions, and the Ehlers finance-support contract extension.
Agenda: 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i, 2j. Motions: M002. Speakers: Greenberg, Blake.
Potassium Street trail and temporary cul-de-sac easement vacation
After a public hearing, residents near Potassium Street supported vacating the trail easement, saying the trail would go through yards, cross driveways, and serve little purpose because the street would not extend through the wetland area. Planner Stockman explained the vacation was tied to the Woodhaven plan and that most residents supported it. The council approved the easement vacation.
Agenda: 3a. Motions: M003. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Paul and Nancy Dietz, Liz Stockman, Jason and Heidi Nielson, Eric and Jodi Klaus, Alders, Blake.
Sheriff and Fire Department reports and firefighter pension plan
Lieutenant Jacobson reported 108 March calls for service and said the sheriff's substation should be completed by July. Fire Chief Schmidt reported 69 first-quarter fire department incidents, mostly medical calls. The council then approved joining the statewide volunteer firefighter pension plan with a $2,500 benefit level and a $7,000 annual city contribution.
Agenda: 5, 6, 2m. Motions: M004. Speakers: Lieutenant Bill Jacobson, Fire Chief Dave Schmidt, Mayor Pilon, Alders, Blake.
Woodhaven 9-lot subdivision
Planner Stockman reported that the engineer and developer had resolved outstanding issues and that Planning and Zoning recommended final plat approval. The council approved the Woodhaven 9-lot final plat and development agreement subject to the findings of fact, including park and trail dedication, security, escrow, wetland, stormwater, road and development conditions. The related trail and temporary cul-de-sac easement vacation was also approved earlier in the meeting.
Agenda: 7a, 3a. Motions: M005, M003. Speakers: Liz Stockman, Alders, Blake.
Bid-2-Buy/Cash Farms use permits at 5160 Viking Boulevard
The council reviewed Bid-2-Buy/Cash Farms' request to operate an online auction headquarters with multiple buildings, outdoor storage/display of large auction items including used vehicles, and a deviation from parking lot surfacing requirements. Planner Stockman described the property and the need for two motions. The council approved the CUP for multiple buildings and approved the IUPs with conditions including moving parking north of the building and maintaining Class 5 parking areas free of standing water and tire marks.
Agenda: 7b1, 7b2, 7b3. Motions: M006, M007. Speakers: Liz Stockman, Greenberg, Alders, Blake.
New City Administrator recruitment and transition priorities
The council approved Resolution 2022-17 naming DDA to recruit and hire a new City Administrator. Later, the council agreed on priorities through July 1: hiring the administrator, elections, the 2023 budget, day-to-day transition instructions, and the capital improvement program and related projects.
Agenda: 8a, 8c. Motions: M008. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Blake, Alders.
Internet service update and IWIP decision
Mayor Pilon reported on county internet survey work, a planned Comcast Zoom meeting, Arvig service to city buildings, voice-over-internet phones, and possible Arvig extension and grant work. Councilmember Greenberg said he preferred the smaller Upper Rum River Water Management Organization, and the council voted not to join IWIP at this time.
Agenda: 8d, 8e. Motions: M009. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Greenberg, Alders.
Anoka County Economic Development cost share
After removing the item from consent, the council considered the annual voluntary cost sharing agreement for Anoka County Economic Development. Mayor Pilon explained that the agreement covers county economic development support costs, and the council approved Resolution 2022-14.
Agenda: 2k. Motions: M010. Speakers: Mayor Pilon, Alders, Blake.
2022 Nowthen Farmers Market staffing
The Farmers Market item was removed from consent and amended based on Councilmember Rainville's requested change. The council appointed Pat DeMars as Logistics Coordinator, Jade Warren as Market Coordinator, and Darlene King as Market Manager, with stipends of $250, $250, and $500 respectively.
Agenda: 2l. Motions: M011. Speakers: Rainville, Blake, Greenberg.
Conversion of interim employees to regular status
Interim City Administrator Boyles told the council that retaining current employees was important to sustaining progress. The council discussed the pros and cons and a six-month probation period, and a motion was made to approve Resolution 2022-15 converting employees from temporary/interim status to regular and independent-contractor status beginning May 1, 2022 with a six-month probationary period; the minutes do not record whether the motion carried.
Agenda: 8b. Motions: M012. Speakers: Frank Boyles, Alders, Blake.

When someone tried to remember earlier business, we cross-reference the corpus and write a short related-history note.
During the public hearing on the Woodhaven Plat, neighborhood residents voiced concerns over the existing twenty foot trail easement, originally established when Hoffmann Hills was platted, remaining in place when not needed or desired since the extension of Potassium Street is no longer necessary. The temporary cul-de-sac at the terminus of Potassium Street will also be vacated and replaced with a permanent cul-de-sac as part of the Woodhaven Plat. The City Council directed staff at the March 10, 2022 meeting to prepare the necessary documents to allow these easement vacations to occur.
What this is about
Prior Woodhaven hearing and March 10 council direction to prepare easement vacation documents.
The records I searched do not contain a prior Woodhaven Plat public hearing or a March 10, 2022 City Council direction to prepare documents for vacation of the 20-foot trail easement or temporary cul-de-sac at Potassium Street. The search results that mention March 10 are from 2026 and relate to other development items, such as Palomino Estates and a minor subdivision, not Woodhaven, Hoffmann Hills, Potassium Street, or the easement vacations described in the cue.
The public hearing was held for Woodhaven on November 23, 2021. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 6-0. The City Council approved the Preliminary Plat on March 10, 2022 by a vote of 5-0.
What this is about
Prior Woodhaven Planning and Zoning public hearing and prior City Council preliminary plat approval.
The records I searched do not contain a prior Woodhaven decision matching this recollection. The search results returned 2026 packet materials about land-use fees, application procedures, and minor subdivision rules, but they do not include Woodhaven, the November 23, 2021 Planning and Zoning public hearing, or the March 10, 2022 City Council preliminary plat approval. Based on these search results alone, I cannot verify the stated 6-0 Planning and Zoning recommendation or the 5-0 City Council approval vote.
Years ago, the city acquired and installed cameras and electronic door locks. For a variety of reasons, the project was not completed as designed.
What this is about
Earlier city security-system installation that had not been completed.
The records searched show a partial match in 2026, but not a clear record of the earlier “years ago” installation. At the February 10, 2026 meeting packet, there was a Wright-Hennepin Security card-access proposal for the City maintenance facility, dated January 26, 2026, with equipment and installation line items including a one-door control unit, reader expansion module, key fobs, and commercial installation. The search excerpt does not show a council vote or final approval for that proposal. At the April 14, 2026 meeting packet, the city had a security comparison for Memorial Park Pavilion/bathrooms and the Fire Department. The Wright-Hennepin option for the pavilion listed $4,690 in equipment and labor, $22 in recurring fees, and noted that it would use “two electric door locks” already in place and add one electric lock. The same packet listed an IPS Fire Department option at $8,860.44, with an optional burglar alarm/access-control item of $5,310.01 and monitoring of $30–$36. These records support that the city had existing electronic door-lock equipment by 2026, but the records I searched do not contain the earlier acquisition/installation decision or documentation that the prior camera/lock project was not completed as originally designed.
Over a decade ago the Planning and Zoning Commission Policy on Commission Structure, Meeting Order and General Procedure were authored and placed into service.
What this is about
History of Planning and Zoning Commission policy and its January and March 2022 review process.
The records searched show an ongoing annual review process for the Planning and Zoning Commission Policy on Commission Structure, Meeting Order and General Procedure, but they do not include the original adoption from “over a decade ago” or the specific January/March 2022 review process referenced in the cue. The closest matches are later records. In the February 10, 2026 packet, staff stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council review and update the policy annually, that the P&Z Commission had reviewed it at its January meeting, and that the Commission recommended City Council approval of redlined changes. The proposed 2026 resolution said the only change was replacing “City Administrator” with “City Clerk,” and it would authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the policy and direct staff to collect acknowledgement signatures from commissioners. The same packet also includes a policy copy showing prior adoption/update language tied to March 11, 2025 and February 10, 2026, and the policy footer refers to “Adopted by City Council March 11, 2025.” So the records confirm later annual review and Council approval activity for this policy, but the searched records do not contain a prior decision matching the specific 2022 recollection.
Mayor Pilon suggested everyone re-read the email from councilmember Greenberg, think about it, and discuss again on May 12th council meeting.
— Mayor Pilon
What this is about
Previous discussion of 1W1P/IWIP at the March 10 council meeting.
The records I searched do not contain a prior decision or discussion matching this recollection about 1W1P/IWIP at the March 10 council meeting. The only March 10-related match is that the March 10 and March 23, 2026 City Council minutes were listed for approval on the consent agenda at the April 14, 2026 meeting, but the search results do not show the substance of the March 10 discussion, any email from Councilmember Greenberg, or a direction to bring the matter back on May 12.
Three administrative employees submitted the resignations in unison on October 30, 2021. The city council authorized and employment contract with an interim City Administrator on November 1 based upon the recommendation of Mayor Pilon and Council Member Blake. Then in Mid-November the city council authorized the hiring of an Interim Deputy City Clerk and Interim Administrative Assistant.
What this is about
Past administrative resignations and prior interim staffing decisions leading to the employee-conversion request.
The records I searched do not contain a prior decision matching this recollection. The search results did not include the cited October 30, 2021 resignations, the November 1, 2021 interim City Administrator contract, or any mid-November 2021 action hiring an Interim Deputy City Clerk or Interim Administrative Assistant. The results returned mostly unrelated 2025–2026 packet material, including zoning ordinance excerpts, legal services references, and later administrative items. Based on these search results alone, I cannot confirm the prior resignations or interim staffing actions described.
