Zumbrota agendas list $330,014.66 pay request, nuisance ordinance rewrite; no outcomes yet published
Zumbrota's City Council and Park Board held three meetings in the past two weeks, but as of Oct. 13 the city has published agendas only — no minutes — so no votes, approvals, or final dollar figures are established in the record reviewed here. The largest single amount appearing on any agenda is a $330,014.66 pay request for the Pleasant Avenue Loop, listed on the council's Oct. 1 consent agenda.
What the record does and doesn't show
All three meetings below are documented by agenda only. The supplied summaries state that minutes are not yet published. That means the items listed were set for discussion or consideration — not that they were decided. No vote tallies appear anywhere in the supplied material, and no outcome is established for any item.
City Council, Oct. 1: pay requests and ordinance items
The council's Oct. 1 agenda listed a consent agenda of routine items, including construction pay requests:
- Pleasant Avenue Loop: $330,014.66
- Helm #1: $17,802
- Helm #3: $89,893.80
- V&S #3: $77,777.46
- Ebert #4: $69,823.80
The consent agenda also included a grit pump repair quote from Quality Flow Systems for $8,227, with a replacement option quoted at $10,850.
Under new business, the agenda listed Resolution 2026-32, covering unbudgeted transfers related to the 2026 Pleasant Avenue Reconstruction Project, and Ordinance 2026-11, which would repeal and replace the Nuisance Abatement Ordinance. Staff recommended setting a public hearing on the nuisance ordinance for Oct. 15, 2026; the supplied record does not confirm that a hearing was scheduled.
Also listed: a parking permit request from Levi Zinser for longer-term parking on Main Street, which has a two-hour parking limit. Kevin Dather, a candidate for Goodhue County District 4 Commissioner, was scheduled to appear.
Work session, Sept. 30: budget, ordinances, bridge wall
The council's Sept. 30 work session agenda listed discussion of the budget, a nuisance ordinance, a zoning ordinance, and Covered Bridge wall repair. The summary states these were discussion items only, with no votes, dollar amounts, or decisions recorded.
Park Board, Oct. 5: pool and capital planning
The Park Board's Oct. 5 agenda included routine business — approving the agenda, Sept. 14 minutes, and accounts payable — plus a public comment period. Under unfinished business, the board listed a pool update, capital planning, and discussion of establishing a Parks & Trails Board. New business listed an East Park Garden item with Kim Simonson and City Ball Fields with James Hill.
Coming up
The supplied data lists no upcoming meetings for the next 14 days, so there is nothing to preview from this record. One date does appear in the material: staff recommended Oct. 15, 2026, for a public hearing on the proposed nuisance abatement ordinance. That was a staff recommendation on the Oct. 1 agenda, not a confirmed scheduled hearing in the documents reviewed here. Residents who want to follow any of these items should check the city's published agendas and minutes directly, since the official documents are the authoritative record.
