City of Moorhead - City Council Meeting Jun 22, 2026

The City of Moorhead held a City Council meeting on June 22, 2026, which included presentations recognizing community groups such as the United Church of Christ for their support of the homeless and the VFW for contributions to local youth sports facilities. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the presentation and formal acceptance of the city's 2025 annual comprehensive financial report and audit results by an external auditor from ID Bailey. The audit revealed a clean, unmodified opinion with no findings, highlighting the city's strong financial health, stable fund balances, and positive net positions across general and enterprise funds. Discussions touched on budget variances, particularly underspending in the police department due to staffing vacancies, and the city's conservative fiscal policies maintaining a healthy fund balance. The council also approved the consent agenda and meeting minutes, and entered a closed executive session to discuss lease negotiations for real property. No specific contract awards, RFPs, or procurement decisions were reported during this meeting.
