The council received the annual financial report for the fiscal year ended December 31st, 2025, for both the city of New Ulm and the New Ulm Public Utilities Commission. The motion to receive the report was made and seconded, and passed without further discussion.
License Renewals Approved for Kennel, Tobacco, and Tree Services
The council approved the renewal of several licenses: a kennel license for Debbie Christensen (Pup's Playland), tobacco licenses for Cloud Trading Inc. and Holiday Station Stores LLC, and tree service licenses for Randy's Quality Tree Service and Root and Up Tree Service.

First Consideration of Rezoning from Agricultural Open Space to Medium Density Residential
The council conducted the first consideration of an ordinance to rezone property from AOS (agricultural open space) to R3 (medium density residence district). The property is legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, Wells Subdivision, located west of North Highland Avenue and north of Lake Avenue. The Planning Commission and City Council previously recommended approval with conditions, which include screening the south property line, a stormwater plan for shared facilities with an adjacent lot, and providing cross easements for utilities, parking, and access.
Public Hearing Scheduled for Crazy Days Noise Variance
