Crookston City Council members Bobby Baird and Jake Fee, each elected in 2016, participated in their final council meeting last week, and were recognized with “Certificates of Appreciation” from the City of Crookston, presented to them by Mayor Dale Stainbrook.
Baird, one of two at-large council members, was defeated in the 2020 election on Nov. 3 by Wayne Melbye. Fee, who represents Ward 1, was defeated by Kristie Jerde. Melbye and Jerde will be sworn in at a special council meeting on Monday, Jan. 4.
Both outgoing council members were praised near the conclusion of this week’s council meeting by just about everyone in the council chambers, even those whom they’d clashed with from time to time over the past four years.
