Fargo city leaders are reassessing the structure of their boards and commissions as they kick off 2025. With discussions underway about streamlining these groups, they aim to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, which can run up to $52,000 annually for some boards. As various commissions, some dormant for years, come under scrutiny, the goal is to ensure each has a clear purpose that aligns with the city’s current objectives. This could lead to reshaping or dissolving certain groups altogether.
