Cottage Grove City Council Meeting 10-7-26

The October 7, 2026, Cottage Grove City Council meeting included several infrastructure and development actions. Council adopted Resolution 2026-139 approving the assessment roll for the 2026 pavement management project, which covers neighborhood street rehabilitation and sidewalk work. The project was awarded to McNamara Contracting in April; its total cost was described as approximately $4 million, with about $1.1 million (27.5%) to be funded through assessments and the remaining costs covered by city utility funds, road and trail maintenance funds, and the general levy. Council also adopted Resolution 2026-138 approving the assessment roll for the 80th Street and East Point Douglas Road project, a joint city, county, and state effort that includes pavement, intersection, lane, signal, and interchange improvements.

Council approved Resolution 2026-137 to assess unpaid charges for noxious-weed and plant removal, and approved the final plat, development agreement, and development plans for Prairie Dunes Second Edition, involving PY Homes of Minnesota LLC and DRP Multi-State, LLC. It also approved an easement vacation for the development. No new bid awards were listed on the agenda. Other actions included approving proclamations and consent items; no contract amounts were stated for the Prairie Dunes approvals or weed-removal charges.
