City of Moorhead - City Council Meeting Aug 24, 2026

The City of Moorhead City Council held a meeting on August 24, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The council approved the sale of city-owned land valued at $126,000 to Jasmine Childcare and Preschool, a nonprofit aiming to build a daycare facility to address local childcare shortages. The land was originally purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and the sale includes provisions for returning funds to the CDBG program if the daycare project does not proceed. Additionally, the council held a public hearing on amendments to the 2025 CDBG plan, proposing to cancel a $40,000 acquisition activity for a nonprofit group home project and reallocate those funds toward blight removal activities. The council also discussed infrastructure concerns related to pedestrian safety in a rapidly developing neighborhood and received updates on local transit and community events. No votes were taken on the CDBG plan amendment during this meeting, with final consideration scheduled for a future session.
