Ken Forbregd told the council that Ike’s Fishing Pond and Walking Trail is expecting 4 to 10 more memorial benches at the site. The first, dedicated to the memory of David Manning, has already been installed.

Attorney Laura Christoffersen and the council held a public hearing to develop and review ordinance language for specific use standards and regulations for the sale, manufacture and distribution of marijuana in the commercial and industrial districts of Culbertson. Talks are ongoing.
