The meeting focused on the approval of an updated job description for the deputy clerk role. The description was crafted after reviewing similar roles in other cities and considering the current and future needs of Nisswa’s administrative framework. Flexibility was a key consideration, allowing the position to evolve as the city’s organizational structure changes. Approval of this job description allows the city to proceed with recruitment, with the hope of conducting interviews by the end of November.

Additionally, the council touched upon ongoing discussions about the broader administrative and personnel structure but decided to defer in-depth deliberations to a future workshop. This move was due to the absence of some council members, which made it difficult to finalize any decisions on potential structural changes.

The meeting also included the approval of a 2026 road bond appraisal, which was part of a continued discussion from a previous meeting. The appraisal process is intended to assess necessary funding for upcoming road projects, including considerations for lift station needs. The council confirmed that no separate meeting was required for the lift station approvals, as it was integrated into the broader appraisal context.
