Foreman Glen Reierson says priorities are school bus routes and emergency response, with downtown and high traffic streets cleared after. Mayor Dietrich notes Main Street is the highways department's responsibility and urges action. The council authorized overtime for town workers and proposed contacting the Department of Highways.

Subdivision development halted over financing concerns
Roblin council halted the town's new subdivision after rescinding August resolution items and pulling all listed lots from market due to financing limits. A $650 000 first phase estimate from Reid Crowthers would push debt near 19 percent of revenue, prompting talk of open options and main street lot development tradeoffs.
