Bid Approval for Courts Plus Siding Project 

As part of the consent agenda, commissioners voted 5 to 0 to approve bids for the 2025 Courts Plus siding project.  

Five bids were received and opened on May 29, 2025. Upon review of the bids, consultants and staff recommended awarding the bid to Gateway Building Systems, LLC. in the amount of $207,175. The bid met all specifications and is with the project budget.  

The Courts Plus siding project is expected to start late summer and be completed by the end of the year. The project will not interrupt regular use of the facility.  

Approval of 2024 Fargo Park District Audit 

Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to approve the 2024 Fargo Park District financial audit.  

The audit was completed by Eide Bailly and presented at the June 18, 2025 Planning Committee meeting. Key highlights of the audit include:  

  • Unmodified opinion: The Fargo Park District received a clean audit for 2024. This means the independent auditors found that the District’s financial statements are accurate and follow standard accounting rules. 

  • Internal controls: The audit noted one ongoing issue related to how financial statements and entries are prepared. This has been a repeated finding in past audits because the District relies on outside support from Eide Bailly to help prepare these documents. No issues were found with how federal funds were handled. 

  • Compliance: The audit confirmed that the Fargo Park District followed all required financial and regulatory guidelines.
