Dave Nevin and Jackson M. Purfeerst are running for Crosslake mayor. Bob Heales, Jayme Knapp and Robin M. Sylvester are running for Crosslake City Council.

The Crosslake Police Department reports the girl fell off the back of a pickup truck about an hour-and-a-half after the parade began Saturday.

Residents leading the effort say they want more time to research, but the city clerk said she intends to ask the Council to make a decision at a Monday, March 11, meeting.

The Crosslake City Council will discuss the possibility of administering absentee ballots again at a 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 12, special meeting in Crosslake City Hall.
