City of Corcoran City Council Meeting March 26, 2026

The City of Corcoran, Minnesota City Council held a meeting on March 26, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. The council reviewed and approved a resolution to process a payment of $3,891.22 to Timco Construction for installing a security window, noting a conflict of interest due to the mayor's part ownership in the company but confirming compliance with Minnesota statute 471.89. Additionally, the council discussed a concept plan for a new 15,000 square foot indoor cannabis cultivation facility by Lost Loon LLC, focusing on zoning compliance, impervious surface limits, building materials, parking reductions, and environmental constraints. The council provided non-binding feedback favoring an interim use permit over a variance and requested more articulation in building design. The meeting also covered a community survey regarding a new civic campus facility, yard waste management survey results indicating low support for a levy increase, and the appointment of a new planning commissioner. Staff reported on ongoing AI training and upcoming policy development, as well as legislative testimony related to a bonding bill. No formal votes were taken on the cannabis facility, but the payment resolution was approved with council members voting in favor and some abstentions due to conflicts. The council also discussed limitations in regulating mobile home park issues raised by residents during open forum.
