Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota has identified Willmar as one of four highest-priority cities in Minnesota to construct an outdoor fitness court.
While discussing a new position for the Willmar Parks and Recreation Department, other councilors and city staff were noticeably uncomfortable with Willmar City Councilor Rick Fagerlie's line of questioning and criticism of the department's director, Rob Baumgarn.
The assessment hearing for Willmar's 2022 street improvement projects began during the Aug. 15 meeting of the Willmar City Council and was continued to the Tuesday, Sept. 6, meeting. The council on Tuesday will continue the hearing during a special council meeting Oct. 11.
