ROSEAU, Minn. — The Roseau City Council has unanimously approved a new golf cart ordinance that will allow residents to legally operate golf carts on city streets. Mayor Dan Fabian says the change brings the city into compliance with state law, since current operators are technically in violation of statute. The ordinance drops the requirement that drivers hold a valid license, though operators aged 13 to 16 must complete an ATV safety or driver’s education course. Permits will cost five dollars and remain valid for three years, running through December 31, 2029. Carts will need mirrors and slow-moving vehicle signs, and are barred from the downtown business district.

When asked when residents could expect the ordinance to be enforced, Mayor Fabian provided these details:

Violations will carry a petty misdemeanor fine ranging from $50 to $100, with responsibility falling on the vehicle’s owner. Roseau Police, county, and state officers will all have enforcement authority. Officials say permits are available now with a grace period in effect.

ROSEAU, Minn. — Roseau’s airport runway project remains on schedule. Community Development Coordinator Todd Peterson says contractors have completed the base course and are now paving, weather permitting, with hopes of finishing most work by July 18th. Peterson said once the paving is done, markings will go down immediately so the strip can open right away. Grooving will follow after.

Peterson provided a brief detail on what pilots can expect from the grading and marking on the runway:

Peterson also shared how local pilots can stay updated on information regarding the airport’s progress:

Contractors note that while progress may appear slower than expected, with the paving phase now underway, things should move quickly. KQ92 and KRWB will continue to follow this story.

The Native American Program at Warroad Public Schools unveiled new artwork by local artist Donald KaKayGeesick earlier this week. KaKayGeesick’s vibrant murals featuring cultural motifs and gold accents now transform the school’s hallways honoring the heritage and history of Warroad Schools.

The Native American Program also partnered with the Warroad Heritage Center for a Summer History Camp on June 15, where students engaged in traditional dancing, drumming, and storytelling led by Brian Clyne’s troupe.
