Committee-of-the-Whole Meeting for October 12, 2026

The City of International Falls Committee-of-the-Whole met on October 12, 2026. Procurement and budget discussions included planned sewer-main and manhole repairs, with an initial project estimated at about $60,000. Officials planned a budget meeting to determine whether that work could be completed without borrowing and to assess the costs and potential savings of combining it with additional repair phases. No bid approval or contract award was reported. The ambulance taxing district’s first-year budget was described as agreed, covering three ambulances, radios, and other operating needs; the related agreement remains with the county attorney for review. A reported EMS reimbursement shortfall of roughly $857,000 was also discussed.
