Fargo City Commission - 10.12.2026

The Fargo City Commission meeting was held October 12, 2026. The Commission approved the consent agenda and reappointments to the Historic Preservation Commission. It also approved proceeding with demolition of the dangerous property at 111–113 32nd Avenue North under the demolition agreement with Master Construction Company, rejecting Freedom Mortgage’s request for a 75-day extension. No contract amount was stated. The Commission approved the 2026 snow-removal special-assessment list for 57 properties, totaling slightly more than $10,000, and the 2026 Business Improvement District assessment, expected to generate approximately $822,000; the City contracts with the Downtown Community Partnership to administer the BID.

The Commission approved staff’s 64th Avenue South traffic-calming recommendations, estimated at $245,000 and to be funded through the infrastructure sales tax, with no special assessments proposed. The work includes boulevard trees, a pedestrian crossing enhancement with a raised median near 27th Street, and two driver-feedback signs. Discussion also covered the planned I-29 interchange, expected to begin construction in 2028, and the need to consider neighborhood access and traffic-calming needs in future development planning. Zoning and plat approvals for Village West Fifth Edition and Urban Plains Medical Park Third Edition also passed; no related contracts or procurement amounts were identified.
