St. Paul Park Approves Police Contract and Faces Commission Vacancies
- Meeting Overview:
The St. Paul Park City Council meeting on December 1st, 2025, centered around the approval of a new three-year contract with the police department and ongoing efforts in filling vacancies on city commissions. The council also addressed administrative matters, including budget discussions and infrastructure projects.
The council approved a new three-year contract with the police department. The city administrator and his staff were commended for their efficient handling of the negotiations, which were described as a good deal that satisfied both parties.
Additionally, the council addressed the ongoing issue of commission vacancies. Cindy Curts was appointed to the Public Works Commission for a term ending December 31st, 2026, although there was initial confusion over her intended position. The Public Works Commission still has an open seat, and the Public Safety Commission is short two members, which has led to the cancellation of an upcoming meeting due to a lack of quorum. The council encouraged residents to consider applying for these roles to help guide city projects and policies.
