City Council Agenda Meeting on Tuesday Evening, June 16th, 2026 ** 2nd Amended **

The City of Kimball council meeting focused primarily on discussing and ultimately deciding to ban the discharge of fireworks within city limits from June 24th to July 5th due to dry conditions and high fire risk. The council approved amendments to Ordinance 635 that prohibit fireworks discharge but allow sales during the permitted state period, with penalties of $500 for violations and $1,000 for violations on red flag days. A separate motion was approved to allow the fire department to conduct a community fireworks display on Farmer's Day, though specific location details were not finalized. The council also approved payment recommendations for wastewater treatment plant and NMCAT invoices, and discussed a $3,500 Kino Fund request from the Kimball Trap Team for 14 competitors attending nationals in Michigan. Additional updates included tree board assessments, ongoing wastewater treatment plant progress, and plans for the 4th of July pool party celebration.

The meeting began with a prayer led by City on behalf of the Kimball Ministerial Association, Cornerstone Community Church, and First English, followed by a roll call to confirm a quorum. The council approved the consent agenda items, including minutes with a correction to the next meeting date, and then addressed two main agenda items regarding wastewater treatment plant payments. The first item involved Hackel Construction and Pneumatic, with a motion to approve payment of $84,551.03, and the second item concerned NMCAT's final payment request of $198,753.48, which was also approved.
