Halstad City Council Meeting

HALSTAD, MN—There were two seats on the Halstad City Council on last week’s ballot, but there were no candidates who filed for those seats.  So 89 write-in votes were cast to determine who would join the Council.  Halstad City Clerk/Treasurer Alli Tice says the matter was settled when votes were canvassed at Monday’s City Council meeting.

Gaylord Christianson is already on the Halstad City Council, so he will serve another four year term.  Michael Kors will replace Peter Jacobson, who decided not to run for re-election.

Also at Monday’s Halstad City Council meeting: the Council moved ahead to clean up a blighted property in the City; there was an update on the seven sites where the City has installed solar panels.  Tice says those panels should be fully operational in December.  And the Council reviewed its budget for 2027.  That budget will be formally approved at the Truth in Taxation hearing, which will be at the Council’s December meeting.
