About the AI on this siteHow ifalls.news uses AI

ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.

Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.

That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.

If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

Content on this site is provided as is. ifalls.news, Small Town Tech Inc., their staff and partners are not liable for decisions made on the strength of an AI-written article, and an AI-written article does not state a position of ifalls.news or its staff.

The International Falls City Council will hold a Special Meeting on Monday, March 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Building, 600 Fourth Street. The session has a focused agenda with a single item of new business before adjournment.

Why the Special Meeting?

Special meetings are called outside the regular council schedule when timely action is needed. In this case, the Falls needs to move quickly on filling two open positions in its public works departments. The council will decide whether to post the vacancies internally first — giving current city employees the first opportunity to apply — and, if no internal candidates come forward, to open the positions to the public.

Positions Under Consideration

The council will take action on internal posting and potential external advertising for the following two vacant positions:

  • Equipment Operator – Water Shop (Excavator/Sweeper): A skilled operator role within the city’s water department, working with heavy equipment including excavators and street sweepers.
  • Maintenance Worker I – Street Garage: An entry-level maintenance position based out of the city’s street garage, supporting road and infrastructure upkeep.

Both positions are in the public works area and represent hands-on, essential roles that keep city infrastructure running through the Falls’ demanding northern Minnesota seasons.

Meeting Agenda at a Glance

  • Pledge of Allegiance
  • Call to Order
  • Roll Call
  • New Business: Consider internal posting of the Equipment Operator – Water Shop and Maintenance Worker I – Street Garage vacancies, and external advertising if no internal candidates apply (Council action)
  • Adjournment

The meeting is open to the public. Residents interested in city hiring decisions or public works operations are welcome to attend at the Municipal Building Council Chambers, 600 Fourth Street, at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, March 30.
