The East Grand Forks City Commission elected Commissioner Quirk as president and Commissioner Grundy as vice president during its Jan. 2 meeting and unanimously approved its Dec. 18 meeting minutes and bills and payroll.

The nominations were opened at the start of the session. Commissioners nominated and seconded candidates for president and vice president, called the roll for each election and recorded unanimous “yes” votes from the three commissioners present: Quirk, Grundy and Repaz. The commission then moved through routine business, approving the minutes of Dec. 18 and a motion for bills and payroll by roll call. The meeting concluded after department reports and a motion to adjourn, which likewise passed by unanimous roll call.

Nut graf: The votes taken were procedural and part of organizational housekeeping as the commission began its 2025 calendar. No substantive policy ordinances or contracts were presented for adoption at the meeting.
