At its Oct. 27 meeting the Williston Board approved a $5.29 million consent voucher list, adopted Ordinance 1184 revising off-street parking rules in Williston Square, and authorized water-related actions including a $250,000 alternate line authorization and signing a WAWSA emergency resolution.

After parties failed to finalize an agreement, the commission rescinded a prior $125,000 vault purchase offer for Trenton Water Users Cooperative, authorized up to $250,000 from Water Fund 501 for an alternate connection, and authorized Mayor Swint to sign a WAWSA emergency resolution seeking expedited federal permitting.

City officials told the commission that Trenton Water Users Association is bound by a 100,000‑gallon‑per‑day contract and that supplying more water would likely require contracting with Northwest Rural Water; technical pressure (PSI) differences complicate switching lines without the vault.

The board approved an increase to the STAR Fund Flex PACE buydown for Bogey's to a total not exceeding $108,000 (City and County each up to $54,000) and accepted a First Addendum setting Wellspring Hydro loan repayment to begin Sept. 1, 2026; votes were unanimous 4-0.
