County to scrutinize personnel requests

By K aren R eisner karen@fillmorecountyjournal.com

State Representative Greg Davids and Lanesboro Mayor Robin Krom presented to the State Bonding Committee reasons why the Lanesboro dam needs to be repaired.

Lanesboro’s dam repairs Since 1868 -- 147 years and counting -- the historic Lanesboro stone dam has been a functional backdrop for this little town of roughly 738 people.

And, while this dam is aesthetically postcard-worthy, according the Army Corps of Engineers and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Waters, this dam is classified as a high hazard structure. This means that if the Lanesboro dam structure were to fail, there could be loss of life and devastating damage to homes and businesses through-

The county board continued to whittle away at departmental budget requests at their September 8 meeting. County coordinator Bobbie Vickerman explained that the potential 11.68% levy increase of August 31 had been reduced to 7.92% after meeting with Social Services and Public Health. Some expenses were reduced and some increases in expected revenues were added.

Also, some expense adjustments were made for Highway and some revenue adjustments were made for Sanitation.

Chairman Duane Bakke noted that the Personnel Committee will meet next week and analyze department head recommendations for personnel additions that add as much as

strange realities. It is not silly to think that, either in my lifetime or in the lifetime of my beautiful little baby daughter, big changes will be coming. Now, whether this is some sort of reverting of society due to economic, environmental, or wartime cataclysm to a stone age or medieval setting like in those big-budget movies we all love so much, or a progression of society to some sort of Utopian future like in those other big-budget movies we love so much, there’s still a question that’s been nagging me.

What’s going to happen to money?

As a Millennial fighting the tide against student loans and bills out my ears, I think about money a lot.

One could say I’ve got my mind on my money, and my money on my mind. But as we look at this world, a world driven more and more by the profits of large companies, there’s going to come a time when people just aren’t efficient anymore. We’re already seeing robotic and automated workers work round the clock with very little problems, and you don’t get those pesky complaints like food

or water or bathroom breaks. Technology continues to march on, and eventually it will be more useful to have most jobs done by robots, or something like a robot. When that happens, what will happen to all of those people who used to make their living doing that job?

Will there be enough new jobs in lasers and nanomachines and other future-y sounding words to make sure everyone can make a living? Will we have large swaths of the population out of a job and starving in the streets? Will the machines go all Schwarzenegger on us and take over? Hopefully

not on that last one, but it’s still something worth thinking about.

In Star Trek, they simply don’t have money. Things are provided, probably by some sort of government or other agency. In, say, Mad Max, money is more akin to something valuable, like fresh water or non-irradiated food or a flush toilet. Whether things go bananas or launch us into the Final Frontier, it’s still interesting to think what will happen when, not if, our concept of “money” changes.

But for now, it’s back to work for me. Diapers are expensive!

Citizen’s ordinance amendment

• Our Public Health Director and County Attorney have already written up and approved a solid Findings of Fact that justifies a ban on frac sand mining.

• The county’s consulting land use attorney, Jay Squires, has stated clearly and publicly that it is legal to ban frac sand mining if we provide sound reasons in the Findings of Fact, which has been done. He also clearly states that it is legal to regulate nonconforming mines and to terminate nonconforming mines that have not met the strict criteria for retaining nonconforming status. Those criteria include being inactive for a year or more and any expansion.

• Other counties, townships, and cities have banned activities, including frac sand mining, with very similar language. Most of these have not had legal challenges and when there have been challenges, the banning governmental unit usually wins.

• Governor Dayton has stated publically that frac sand mining should be banned in SE Minn.

• Mines less than one acre and used for personal use will be exempt from regulation in this Ordinance. Only commercial mines will be regulated.

• All five commissioners, the Environmental Services Director, Public Health Director, and chair of the Planning Commission have

all said publically that they are against frac sand mining in Houston County. So this is a chance for them to back their talk with actions.

• The Land Stewardship Project did a study in Wis. on frac sand mines and found that over 50% were out of compliance with current regulations. This is not an industry that follows the rules.

• This industry does not provide good secure jobs as evidenced by the current massive layoffs in Wis. and the health risks workers are exposed to.

• We all know that fossil fuels from fracking are on their way out both for economic reasons and climate change reasons. Why would we allow our county to be permanently pock marked by an industry that will be obsolete in 5 or so years?

• The county currently has no road agreements or bonds in place to pay for damage to our infrastructure or to pay for reclaiming abandoned mines.

• A nonconforming mine will be allowed to continue as long as it is in compliance with all State Statutes and County Ordinances.

The goal is not to punish people who have consistently followed the rules. It is rather to bring those who have not into compliance with current rules. Continuous operation can be proven by commercial tax records, receipts, or google earth photos.

• The purpose of nonconforming status is to allow them to phase out over time or to terminate them if they expand or are left inactive for a time. This is done to minimize the harm to otherwise legitimate businesses or homes when a change in zoning occurs. If they lose their nonconforming status, they are required to go through the normal permitting process. Certainly 50 years since zoning was implemented in Houston County is sufficient to bring most uses into compliance. It is also hard to believe that if a mine had been continuously active for 50 years it has never expanded.

• All nonconforming mines still need a reclamation plan and bond to operate. Some permitted mines do not have these things and are therefore out of compliance. They must be brought into compliance.

• The proposed text amendment allows a pathway for citizens

who are negatively impacted by mines that are in violation of the ordinance to have their grievance heard and dealt with fairly. Past lack of enforcement has left many citizens frustrated, to say the least, when trying to deal with mining violations.

• Under current conditions, the future for nearly all the mines in Houston County is very uncertain.

Owners cannot make long term business plans and have little certainty for the future, because most are out of compliance in some way and do not know when or if the current law will be enforced. This ordinance clears up these issues and gives all mine owners a reasonable path forward with a level playing field and clear terms for the future.

It is time to bring all mining activity in Houston County into compliance with current law. If this proposed Amendment is adopted, the administration and enforcement of the county zoning ordinance will be reduced and made easier. That is good for miners, good for citizens, and good for county government.

By Dr. Bryan Van Gorp There will be a Public Hearing on an Amendment to the Houston County mining ordinance held Sept.

29 at 7 p.m. in the basement of the Criminal Justice Center.

The proposed Amendment may be read Dr. Bryan Van on the CounGorp ty website.

It is being proposed by county residents who belong to Houston County Protectors.

There has been a long battle over two issues related to mining in Houston County over the last nearly 3 1/2 years. The first is whether or not to allow frac sand mining. This issue has new urgency now that we find the Rail Road can build a processing and trans loading facility if it wishes and they have made it clear that option is on the table. So the only way left to avoid the mining of industrial minerals in Houston County is to ban frac sand mining.

The second issue is how to handle nonconforming mines, which applies to nearly all the mines in the county. This uncertainty has Editorial Cartoon

gone on for many years resulting in the abusive ruling in the Michael and Diane Fields case. It is now getting new focus based on recent violations of the zoning ordinance by many of the nonconforming mines. Nearly every mine in the county is out of compliance with the current ordinance in some way because of chronic failure of enforcement.

How can we get mineral extraction under control in Houston County, assure miners a level and secure playing field, make things simple and straight forward to enforce, assure neighbors of mines and citizens in general that their rights will be respected and end all this controversy?

The simple straightforward answer is to pass this ordinance.

Here are some highlights about banning frac sand mining and bringing nonconforming mines into compliance, which this amendment addresses.

• This proposed text amendment leaves the current ordinance intact. Over 90% is unchanged and the only significant changes are to ban frac sand mining and providing a pathway for mines that are currently out of compliance to begin operating legally within the ordinance.

C ommentary Politicians are failing us on the economy

By Lee H. Hamilton A couple of months ago, the Congressional Budget Office issued a sobering report on the U.S. economy’s longterm prospects. Not to Lee H. put too fine Hamilton a point on it, we’re headed for the fiscal rocks.

Federal spending accounts for about 20% of the nation’s GDP, the budget analysts note; if current trends continue, that will rise to fully 25% by 2040. Revenues will not keep up — they’ll amount to only 19% of GDP. Here’s what the non-partisan CBO has to say: “Mainly because of the aging of the population and rising health care costs, the extended baseline projections show revenues that fall well short of spending over the long term, producing a substantial imbalance in

the federal budget. As a result, budget deficits are projected to rise steadily and, by 2040, to raise federal debt held by the public to a percentage of GDP seen at only one previous time in U.S. history — the final year of World War II and the following year.” We face a fiscal crisis of historic proportions.

Our presidential candidates can talk all they want about American prosperity and world leadership, but without a firm fiscal base it’s just hot air. Unless we can stabilize the debt and put the country on a path of sustainable economic growth with prosperity evenly shared, we’ll have no firm economic base for all those lofty goals to rest upon.

This means tackling a host of complex problems. We have to get long-term debt under control.

We have to preserve Social Security yet find a solution to rising entitlement spending, which will be a key driver of federal spending for decades to come. We have to deal with health-care costs, which pose the same challenge. We have to invest in skills, education, and infrastructure without breaking the bank. We have to craft a simpler, fairer, less intrusive tax policy that promotes economic efficiency and is conducive to long-term growth.

The people who have to do all these things are politicians who, thus far, have been unwilling and unable to take these obvious challenges head on. The problem is not with the system itself. Similar barriers have been overcome repeatedly in the past, with reforms in Social Security in 1983, taxes in 1986, and repeatedly in budget agreements.

Rather, the problem is that our leaders are divided between those who want to cut spending and those who want to boost taxes in order to expand government’s role. Yet it’s impossible to solve our problems by finding new revenues or cutting spending alone. Without doing both, we face a weakened future. It is unreasonable and unac-

ceptable to try to continue our present course of trying to muddle through.

There’s a reason that you don’t hear much talk about this in Washington. Americans themselves want it all — lower taxes without significant cuts in federal spending. But here’s the problem: Almost 60% of federal spending is accounted for

by Social Security, Medicare and defense and national security. Add the 7% of the budget that goes to interest on the national debt, and there’s little room for significant progress without painful and difficult legislative action.

Political leaders should grasp these realities and act now. But they have not, so it’s up to Americans to pressure them to do so.

True, nothing will happen without presidential leadership. All issues will have to be on the table, because the pain needs to be shared broadly.

And progress will require the adroit bipartisan participation of congressional leaders.

Instead, those who believe in a single path assure us that we need only wait until the next election and they’ll get the forces they need.

This is a pipedream. The electorate is too evenly divided and too volatile to sustain complete control by one side over several elections.

So really, it’s up to the American people to demand action. We have to create the political will that drives our leaders to deal with these difficult economic problems — that leads them to tackle entitlements, health costs, investing in the future, and tax reform. The question is whether our political leaders are up to the task before our economy runs out of time.

Esmerelda is a young adult female. She is estimated to be about 2 years old and was seen in NE Rochester by one of our volunteers. We suspect she hitched a ride in one of their vehicles and wound up in West Concord. Esmerelda is a beautiful long-haired cat but had to be shaved due to severe matting from being on her own all winter. Esmerelda is very sweet and she is learning about human kindness. This girl blossoms more each day. All adoptable pets have been spayed/ neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

One Moment, Please... Race Relation LH says: Hello I agree with your comments on the confederate flag and what it represent. I happen to live in canton and is one of about fourteen African Americans who stay in town. About three weeks ago on my walk downtown canton. I notice a home with two flags on its pole.The top is the american flag and the on the bottom is a confederate flag. I'm not the type who likes to judge one's on what to have in front of there home.But it did bothered me a little by the fact that it's on main street and a block and half from Canton City Hall.

Canton is such a beautiful peaceful little town. Flag or nor flag i have meet so many wonderful people here that do adore me and maybe some don't. I wish to continue to enjoy my senior years here no matter what. wow says: God god....get over it....and do a little research on the meaning of the flag. hum says: It's a flag for a endless was. The civil war..has nothing to do with the color of your skin.

Paul says: So I'm a little confused. Some see it as a flag promoting slavery, others say it represents a group of gallant and brave men fighting for a just cause, some claim it is about a way of life and others say it represents a group of treasonous traitors. What exactly does the flag represent. No one seems to be offended when people choose to fly the British flag over the American flag. So again, sincerely, what exactly is the general consensus as to what the confederate flag stands for?

NoWay says: Personally I get a little sick of seeing the Norwegian flag flying all the time. What country is this, anyway??

Fillmore Central Schools will be participating in the Summer Food Service Program Ya right says: Talk to the school...lol...what a joke. They can't even handle the bullies in this school!

Livin' the dream says: The hungry little girl probably told her mother that you are feeding her and she is taking advantage of it. I hope the mother doesn't have a $500 a month cigarette habit. So often you see that, not a scrap of food in the house but plenty of cigarettes. wow says: Liventhedream....U r always so negative. Glad i don't live in your live in your dream!

Livin' the dream says: WOW...likewise I'm sure.

Dahlia says: Well if you don't even try to talk to them about it, then you can hardly complain when they don't do anything. Wouldn't it be more effective to go to a school board meeting, or send a letter asking why such a program was not implemented in Harmony?

This summer is almost over, but maybe you can make a difference for next summer. There will no doubt be hungry children next summer, too.

C ommentary Preserving our heritage: farmland retention By: Tim Penny President/CEO, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation Southern Minnesota’s economy is certainly more diverse than it was when Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) was founded nearly 30 years ago.

H o w e v e r , Tim Penny agriculture still plays a major role. Agriculture and forestry account for over 20% of our 20-country region’s economic output. 6.2 million acres - 82% of our region’s land - is cultivated farmland. The most impressive statistic: the estimated current value of farmland in south central and southeastern Minn. is $50 billion.

Clearly, farmers hold their wealth in land. However, the average age of farmers in our region is 55 years and climbing. It is estimated that $7 billion in wealth will transfer hands in the next 15 years in our 20-county region alone.

Farmland will account for a large portion of that wealth.

Yet it remains unclear who this wealth will be transferred to.

For every six farmers 65 or older, there is only one under the age of 35 standing in line to replace them, according to the 2012 USDA Ag Census.

While there is a generation of people who want to farm, including a rising number of women and immigrant populations, high land prices and start-up costs force most beginning farmers to rent, or deter potential farmers from starting in the first place. Additionally, for a farmer who is living off of

land homesteaded by an ancestor several generations before, it can be worrisome to imagine that land going to a distant investor with no real connection to the community. A dwindling pipeline of younger farmers paired with deep-seated emotional ties to land means succession planning is a growing concern in agriculture.

However, there is a model that allows retiring farmers the peace of mind that their land will continue to be farmed and also available for those farmers just starting off. Several years ago, our sister foundation, Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF), launched a farmland retention program called “Keep It GrowingSM.” The goal of this program is to offer retiring farmers and landowners an option to preserve the property as farmland while converting it to an asset that benefits the community. So far, seven farms have been bequeathed to SWIF, who in turn will continue to manage this land and re-invest the rental income into southwest Minn. Another local organization, Rural Advantage, has also received donated farmland. They will turn this donation into an educational model farm which uses alternative and perennial agriculture systems to demonstrate and research how crops besides corn and soybeans can increase biodiversity, improve soil quality, and reduce farm runoff.

Building on these successful models, SMIF launched our farmland retention program, Preserving our Heritage, in 2014. Through this program, retiring farmers can bequeath some or all of their land directly to SMIF or to one of the 23 community funds we man-

son, Le Sueur, Mabel, Madison Lake, Maple River AAA, Mapleton, New Prague, Plainview, Preston, Rushford, Sleepy Eye, St. James, Spring Valley, Wabasha-Kellogg, Wanamingo, Winthrop, and Zumbro Valley.

Choosing to donate one’s land is an enormous benefit on all fronts: The landowner will receive a tax deduction and bypass capital gains while still being able to maintain a stable revenue source. The tenant can continue to rent and farm the land. The county maintains its tax base. SMIF retains ownership and acts as a steward of this resource to ensure the community benefits long-term from the income generated.

The fields that surround our

age, allowing them to build the wealth of their individual communities. When a farmer is thinking about estate planning, it can be a comfort to know there is a way their land can remain active farmland while also benefitting their local community. The farmer can choose how to allocate the income generated from the land rental to a designated/donor advised fund, a local community fund, or one of SMIF’s endowed funds.

SMIF’s managed community funds exist for the following communities: Blue Earth, Byron, Ellendale, Elysian, Goodhue, Harmony, Hender-

towns are more than economic assets; they represent our heritage. Many farmers in our region are fifth and sixth generation landowners. Most families, if not farmers themselves, can easily trace their lineage back to farming ancestors. SMIF realizes the importance of preserving the land as both a cultural and economic asset.

Vickerman explained that the current 2016 budget numbers include funding for all of these recommended personnel positions. She noted that a total of $260,000 will need to be cut from today’s proposed

budget to get to the desired budget requiring a levy increase of only 4.99%. She suggested that there are still other areas to look at.

The board will likely approve a preliminary budget at their September 22 meeting. The 2016 preliminary budget can be lowered, but not raised when the final budget and levy are approved in December.

Kohn said there has been a lot of discussion about the Southeast Service Cooperative (SSC) health insurance plan. It was felt that the plan cost has been too high. The board approved the 10% reduction of 2015 rates for 2016 offered by SSC. The county will be free to look at other options for 2017. Kohn said in early 2016 a request for proposals will be sent out to other vendors. She noted that the county has historically paid 71% of the cost.

Kohn maintained that they are very pleased with Minnesota Life for life insurance through Ochs, Inc. A three year rate guarantee has been provided.

She spent hours entering data to produce an electronic file updating contact information for Amish families for health related services. Some other projects included a bike safety event, the public health booth at the county fair, the Harmony community garden, and learning about nutrition through activities (LANA). Many of these activities were funded with the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) grant funding.

Darling recommended this internship experience to her professor for other students.

Human Services Officer Kristina Kohn said the program is specifically for early retirement and not for those eligible for full retirement. The program is to help employees, who wish to retire early, bridge the gap for health insurance until they are eligible for Medicare. Employees with at least five years of service can receive the benefit for one month for each year of service up to 30

Johnson scouted a new location on a minimum maintenance road and will have them put in there.

Council member Debbie Swenson gave the EDA board report. The 2016 budget will remain the same as the 2015.

A career fair will be held on November 13 at the high school.

Illg is working to get in contact with designers for a possible natural park to be built near the Community Center.

Lynn Mensink reported that the leak in the library has been

located, thanks to city maintenance workers. It was determined that water is coming in through the window which needs to be replaced. She requested that the window be replaced with a window of equal size to allow for natural light in the library.

Library board member Vicki Christianson has asked that MaryAnn Johnson be allowed to take her place on the board for the time being. She plans to return to the library board at a later date.

Lynn Mensink noted that the Arts board held a Jam Session at the Legion on August 22. It was not as well attended as previous jams, but was still a success with about 40 people attending.

The Utility Committee discussed the case of several delinquent utilities accounts owned by one customer. The resident has been contacted and is aware of the delinquent accounts with intentions to remedy the situation. He has until October 31 to bring the accounts up to date or the utilities will be shut off.

The wastewater treatment facility improvements project received three bids. The council awarded the contract to the lowest bid, which was submitted by Winona Mechanical, Inc. Well #3 was tested with impressive results. The well was found to have a capacity of at least 750 gallons per minute and the quality of the water was very

good. Stantec engineer Brett Grabau recommended replacing the current pump, which can pump up to 500 gallons a minute, with a larger one that can pump up to 750 gallons per minute. Mayor Steve Donney questioned whether that much power was needed and said that while he would like to see the 750 gallon pump installed, he was concerned about the cost.

It was decided to continue using the current pump.

A committee was formed to select the new colors for the water tower. The tower will be repainted next year sometime.

The meeting was adjourned.

The next meeting will be held October 13, 2015 at 7 p.m.

Canton reviews proposed budget

department service is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour.

Jason Magnuson was present to inform the council that the Canton Fire Department voted in a new member at their meeting on Monday, September 7 and to ask for approval. The council approved new fireman Dustin Kerns.

Councilor Charlie Warner gave an account of the Fillmore County Hazard Mitigation meeting, which took place on August 20. He stated that a new mitigation plan must be made every seven years to comply with FEMA requirements.

The old plan was reviewed and will be rewritten with revisions and additions. Warner added that the meeting was a chance for communities to get their concerns on the table. Additional hazards to be addressed included a plane crash at Rochester International Airport, an act of terrorism and an earthquake. Another, meeting will be held in October to finalize the updated plan.

Warner also shared concerns about young children riding mini-bikes on city property, including the ball field. Children are not allowed to oper-

ate motorized vehicles on public property in Canton, but several have been seen doing so.

He remarked that the city may have some liability if someone were to have an accident on city property. The council discussed whether there are signs posted in areas of concern. Nordsving stated that there are signs that say “Not responsible for lost or stolen property”, but they do not mention accidents. He will look into getting more signs and Melander will send notices to households with children seen driving motorized vehicles on public property.

Nordsving reported that the water tower cleaning is tentatively scheduled for Friday, September 11. He noted that there may be a short interruption in water service during the cleaning.

Nordsving also reported that the motor mounts broke on the city’s lawn mower and asked whether he and Davis should

attempt to fix it or if they should take it to M & M in Rushford for repair. The lawn mower is a Gravely, purchased in 2011, and in the past the city has replaced the mower about every five years. The council discussed and decided to have Nordsving get estimates for fixing the current mower and for trade-in on a new mower. The council will make a decision after comparing the estimates.

Councilor Carl Ernst raised a question about whether there is any reason to keep the Canton public access television channel. He pointed out that it has shown the same screen for several months and there does not appear to be any benefit in having it. City Clerk Melander stated that it is free, but the council decided there is no reason to keep it so it will be shut off.

The next regular meeting of the Canton City Council is on Wednesday, October 14, at 7 p.m. at Canton City Hall.

issue of missing house numbers to the attention of the board.

Many homes in Harmony do not have house numbers posted, although city ordinance states that homes must have numbers that are visible from the street.

Deputy Clerk Eileen Schansberg pointed out that it is also a safety issue as the ambulance crew may not be able to locate a home during an emergency if a house number cannot be seen.

City Administrator Jerome Illg will put out public notifications reminding Harmony residents of the ordinance.

By Liz Giese The proposed budget for 2016 was reviewed at the regular meeting of the Canton City Council on September 9.

Canton’s current 2016 Projected Tax Levy shows an 8% increase, which is expected to go down as the end of the year approaches and more is known about actual costs in 2015. The increase is largely due to the increased cost of the contract with the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Office. Mayor Donivee Johnson noted that Sheriff Tom Kaase is scheduled to attend the council meeting in October to explain the increase and to discuss the new contract. It was also noted that street repairs are not yet in the proposed budget, but will be need to be added.

The proposed budget also reflects a one-time payment of $52,500 from the water and sewer fund to the general fund to cover the wages for city employees’ time spent on water and sewer. This allows wages to be paid from one account rather than two. Water and sewer maintenance and administration account for a percentage of each of the three employees’ time depending on their role: Jon Nordsving, lead City Maintenance worker, 60%; Lolly 2x2, Melander, City Clerk, 20%;2x4 and Jim Davis, City Maintenance worker, 5%.

A motion to approve the proposed budget was unanimously passed. Council member Cindy Shanks was not present.

Other business Mayor Donivee Johnson updated the council on the status of the ordinance review, stating that City Attorney, Richard Nethercut, had informed her that it would not be a problem to limit use of golf carts to operators of age 16 or older. Accordingly, the ordinance pertaining to golf carts will be updated to state that no one under the age of 16 shall operate motorized golf carts within the city limits.

The council also reviewed the portion of the law relating to hours of operation, which will state that golf carts with manufacturer installed headlights and taillights may operate golf carts during hours of darkness except in inclement weather. Johnson said she would make the discussed changes and the updated code would hopefully be ready to be voted on next month.

Mayor Johnson also brought up the cost of fire department services for local townships.

She stated that Canton Township pays a per capita rate for coverage by the Canton Fire Department, but there are other townships that are covered and not paying. Canton Township recently needed to know the rate during their meeting, so she and Nordsving discussed and & 2x8 to $8 run ONE TIME, raised the ads rate from to $10 per person. Nordsving noted that the fire department’s costs have increased significantly over the years, making it necessary and typical to charge for service calls. The current rate for fire

Peterson approves utility policy, electrical rate study

By Kirsten Zoellner The city of Peterson, like most municipalities, has seen its fair share of past due utility payments. To curb the ongoing issue and avoid situations of non-payment regarding landowner and renters, the council has approved a utility policy that will collect on past due, with interest, by certifying the outstanding amounts to the county to be put on the tax rolls.

“It’s pretty extensive,” noted Clerk Megan Boyum. Review of other municipality policies led to the Peterson policy. Essentially, property owners will receive notice when their utility payment is in default. A notice will be sent to delinquent property owners each October. They will

have until mid-November to make the payment. Whatever is not paid will be certified to the county.

Additionally, a late fee of 1% interest on the past due amount will be added monthly if not paid by the date due. This late fee structure will go into effect January 1.

In the situation of rental properties, the land owner will be the responsible party for delinquent utility payments. The city conceded that land owners may have written agreements with renters stipulating that the renter pay all utilities directly. However, should there be a delinquency, at year end the amount will be certified to the county on the land owner’s property taxes.

k c e h c e m o C n i t u o us

“This is not to significantly punish those who are behind and it’s not a source of funds for the city,” clarified councilor Loren Rue. “But, this has been going on for a period of time and other councils have not addressed it.”

The city council has also approved an electrical rate study to be conducted by Star Energy Services. The cost of the study is estimated at $2,928, with a not to exceed maximum of $4,090.

The study will include a full inventory of electrical infrastructure within the city, such as electrical poles and transformers, in effort to give a long-range summary of city electrical upgrade needs. The summary will also indicate whether or not the city

part of the discussion, the council looked at ways to not raise the levy and maintain current spending, while putting $23,000 to Street Improvement Fund instead of Capital Improvements. The street fund currently has $45,000 in it, which was floated for engineering fees on the County 25 project, then

repaid to the fund via the bond. $25,000 will be coming out of the fund for payment on the bond.

Because the preliminary levy certified to the county in September can be reduced before final certification in December, but not raised, the council will look at a 5% increase to the levy.

“If something comes in that’s unexpected, we have to have a starting point,” noted councilor Dick Lee. In old business, it’s good news for Peterson residents as the city’s new water main installation is complete. The rest of the project is slated to be completed by October 15.

Obituaries Helen Elizabeth Flattum Helen Flattum, age 88, of L a nesboro, passed away on September, 8, 2015, at Seasons Hospice in R o c he s t e r, Minn. She was the sec- Helen Elizabeth ond daughFlattum ter born to Albert and Alvina Kalis in Keister, Minn. on July 7, 1927.

Helen grew up on the family farm and graduated from Keister High School in 1944. After completing nurses training to become a LPN, she moved to Lanesboro to work at Dr. Johnson’s hospital. Helen was at this hospital during the last years of the polio epidemic and just this summer was featured in Lanesboro’s “History alive! Walking tour”.

After moving to Lanesboro she met Willie Flattum, who she married on October 25, 1949. They lived on a farm near Highland until 1962 when they became the owners of the Highland General Store for the next 20 years. In 1982 they moved to a home in Lanesboro, where Helen had continued to live independently. Willie preceded her in death on October 6, 1982.

Monday, September 14, 2015

Helen liked interaction with people and continued to work into her 80s. She became coowner of the Lanesboro Health and Gift, and then later worked at Grandma’s Garden Floral and Windy Mesa. Helen volunteered at blood drives, drove people to medical appointments, and was an active member of the St Patrick’s church for nearly 70 years.

She enjoyed baking, crocheting, and embroidery, but her favorite hobby was gardening.

She was happiest when the weather was warm so she could sit in front of her house drinking coffee, always ready to visit with family, friends, and neighbors.

She cherished the company her pets provided during her life and always kept dog treats for visitors.

Helen is survived by two daughters: Judy (Ben) Kracht of Rochester and Dixie (Steve) Riedel of Minneapolis; two grandchildren: Kim (Dave) Talbot and Adam Kress; two greatgrandchildren: Lucas and Jack Talbot. She is also survived by three brothers: David (Pat) of Keister, Albert (Sharon) of Montgomery, Mike (Georgia) of Albert Lea; and five sisters: Margaret Ward of Appleton, Marie Motl of Belle Plaine, Bernice Munson of Alden, Lorraine (Don) Schroeder of Muncie, Ind., Pat (Tom) Arett of Chesterfield, Mo. She is also survived by loving nieces, nephews, and a host of long-time friends.

Linda Wilson (Wendt) Linda Wilson (Wendt) passed away peacefully at her home outside of Lanesboro, Minn. on Friday morning, August 21. She was born in Preston, Minn. on November 24, 1948 to Reuben and Doro- Linda Wilson thy (San(Wendt) den) Wendt.

Linda grew up on her family’s farm and graduated from Preston High School in 1967. She then attended Winona State University, where she also met her husband, Douglas Wilson, and graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1970.

Linda began her career as a second grade teacher, and after some time away to raise her children, worked with preschool children through Head Start for many years. She was a dedicated and caring teacher who delighted in helping children to discover

Page 13

new things. Linda particularly loved children’s literature and experimenting with new ways (puppets, games, songs) to bring stories to life.

Linda was so interested in the world—in its people, places and things—and brought a sense of wonder and discovery to her work, her friendships, her children and grandchildren.

We loved her ability to take such pleasure in small things: a poem, a new flower blooming in her garden, daily pictures of her grandchildren, a winning find at a resale shop, a trip to the library, a hummingbird at the window. We can still hear her saying, “Oooohhh!” with such joy and delight. She also had a knack for finding small things that would make her friends, children, and grandchildren happy, and sent many cards and gifts (often ones covered in cheery stickers and pictures).

Linda was naturally outgoing and cheerful, and, like her father, had an amazing ability to strike up conversations (sometimes long ones!) with complete strangers, often discovering long-lost relatives and making new friends in the process. She was very involved with Doug’s career in the Boy Scouts and they enjoyed many close friendships with other scouting families and colleagues over the years. She also valued her church communities, especially the lifelong friendships she made through the United Methodist Women. Linda also loved music of all kinds, including singing in the church choir and teaching songs to her grandchildren.

She had recently joined a community choir and enjoyed singing alongside new friends.

In the last five years, Linda and Doug had taken great pride in restoring her family’s home outside Lanesboro. She loved her home and gardens, and often said that being able to retire to her childhood home was her “dream come true”. Above all else, Linda loved—and lived for—her family. She loved her husband dearly, was a caring and devoted mother, and a playSee OBITUARIES Page 14 

Dam

Continued from Page 1

Furthermore, this un-mortared limestone structure is one of only six in the entire United States, which also places the Lanesboro dam on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Krom introduced State Representative Greg Davids, who then talked about the history of repairs relating to the dam.

Davids reflected on the bandages of the past, such as the 1985 repair to the dam’s concrete cap and several damaged limestone blocks on the downstream side of the dam.

As shared in documentation presented to the crowd, “these surface repairs did not address issues of the dam being unstable.”

But, all of those repairs from 1985 are like water over the dam.

Sheriff Tom Kaase offered his thoughts and concerns relating to the repair of the Lanesboro dam, reinforcing concerns about

Monday, September 14, 2015

the safety of the community with respect to a dam failure.

Police Chief Matt Schultz then referenced the emergency evacuation plan in the event the dam were to break. Schultz indicated that the volume of water flash-flooding the City of Lanesboro would only allow emergency response teams a matter of seconds to evacuate the city, which would be impossible.

Michelle Peterson, Lanesboro City Clerk, acknowledged concerns relating to the closing of the campground overlooking the dam if the repairs were approved. The loss of the campground would impact revenues to the City of Lanesboro, which Peterson was attempting to forecast.

Kevin Beck, Emergency Services Management Officer for the Fillmore County Sheriff’s Department, talked about the impact of flooding in the area from the past and how high the water has crested to unsafe levels.

And, throughout the conversa-

tions between members of the State Bonding Committee and local leaders, there was discussion about the impact on tourism if the dam were to break. On any given weekend, there are upwards of 800 people tubing, along with hundreds of individuals kayaking, canoeing and fishing on the Root River.

If the dam broke, it would not only impact the immediate homes and businesses in its path, but everything downstream. Anyone recreating on the river would be at risk, along with communities like Whalan, Peterson, and Rushford.

In addition, the city would lose the Bass Pond Recreation area and the benefits of hydroelectric power would evaporate.

The big question of the day: Who was going to pay for the dam repair costs?

According to 2016 estimated costs, presented by Ayers Associates, the cost of repairs would be at least $3.615 million. And, those dam repair costs are estimated to increase by 6% each year.

At the end of the one hour open discussion regarding the Lanesboro dam repairs, the State Bonding Committee enjoyed some fresh pastries on their way down a path to get their picture taken in front of the dam.

The conclusion of the one hour session left more questions than answers, though. The State Bonding Committee kept tossing around the question of how to fund this project. There was a sense of concern and understanding of the importance of the project, but funding seemed to be the biggest issue. Stay tuned.

Can you zone promotions per Zip Code?

Yes, we do it all the time for businesses and organizations all throughout Fillmore County. And, we only charge a fraction of what the USPS charges with their Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) program.

If you were to insert a single sheet (8-1/2” x 11”) promotion in our newspaper, the cost of insertion would be 5.25 cents each. Meanwhile, the USPS would charge you over 18.2 cents per piece for the same size promotion. So, we are only charging 29% of what you would pay for the same marketing piece to reach the exact same households with a zoned Zip Code program. If you have any questions about our zoned Zip Code program, please contact me at 507-765-2151. I will gladly explain your options for target marketing at a Zip Code level.

Falcons Defend Ranking, Down Goodhue

A year ago, Fillmore Central football went 2-7. They started the year 0-6. Just two weeks into the 2015 season, the Falcons (2-0) already procured a state ranking (tied for #10 in Class A). It came just in time for a big challenge, Goodhue.

The Wildcats (2-0) went 7-3 last year. With multiple key assets back, one could say they deserved a state ranking. Just two plays into the game, Drew Tienter got the strip-sack of Goodhue QB Jacob Pasch. Falcon Korby Koch fell on the ball at the three yard-line. On third and goal from the one, Riley Means tunneled in, giving FC a quick 7-0 lead. The rest of the first half was controlled

by Goodhue. Their ensuing drive, a 9-play 62-yard trek, found pay-dirt. A Pasch 1-yard plunge made it 7-6 Falcons.

Goodhue’s next three possessions found the red zone including two goal-to-go series’, but they yielded only three points (22-yard Mariano Bigalk field goal). At half, leading the total yards battle big (183 to 47), the first down’s battle big (10 to 2), the Wildcats led the game small, 9-7. The second half was a defensive struggle. Late in third quarter, Brady Ristau and Walker Ward tackled a Goodhue ball-carrier in the end zone for a safety, making it 9-9. The Falcons’ ensuing early fourth quarter drive procured a couple first downs, the last a B-Ristau 20-yard run on 3rd and 7 from

the 30. Justin Ristau’s 29-yard field goal gave FC the lead 12-9 with 7:38 left. At that point, Goodhue had run four second half plays for zero first downs.

They had two possessions left.

The first yielded a mid-fourthquarter punt. The second was hampered by penalties.

A Means interception on 4th and 3 at the FC 39 with 1:14 ended the game. The Falcons toughed out a 12-9 victory. FC finished with 158 yards and zero turnovers. Tyson Ristau (25 carries, 79 yards) and Means (8 carries, 56 yards, TD, 12 tackles, INT) led the way. Goodhue had 218 total yards and two turnovers.

Pasch (10-19, 169 yards, 2 INTs passing, rushing TD) and Ryan Schoenfelder (3 receptions, 88 yards) led the way. Wildcat senior standouts Sam McNamara and Garrett Huemann combined for 70 yards and zero TD’s. They had 200-plus yards offense and four TD’s in the team’s 2014 meeting, won 31-6

by Goodhue. The teams evenly combined for 21 penalties totaling over 200 yards. FC is now 3-0, 2-0 in Mid-Southeast-East District play. They share the district lead with LewistonAltura ahead of a big week four showdown.

LFC Girls Repeat at Stewartville

A year ago, Lanesboro/Fillmore Central girls cross country announced their arrival on the scene by winning the Stewartville Invite at Bear Cave Park.

LFC’s ladies went on to be a force in Section 1A, finishing first or second eight times, finishing third at the Section 1A meet (just missing state). To open the 2015 running season, with the same crew, they repeated at Stewie, besting the home Tigers 61 to 94 for first place (in hot humid conditions). The Burros top six runners all finished top 25. Juniors Kiera Olson (12:59.4) and Leah Ruen (13:00.2) took 7th and 8th. Bailey Ruen (13:29.8) and Maddie Smith (13:33.5) took 15th and 16th. Emily Snyder (13:44.7) finished 21st, Ashley Miner (13:59.5) 25th. None of the other 13 complete squads had more than three girls in the top 25 (overall). One-hundred-eight total runners competed. Cotter’s Grace Wing (11:26.8) was the meet champion. Kingsland also competed, finishing 11th of 13. Marina Schwanke (36th overall) was their top finisher. Rochester Area Home School won the boys race. GMLOS’s Peter Torkelson (10:37.8) took first individually.

Chatfield took 10th, LFC 11th, and Kingsland was incomplete.

Dillon Nolan finished 31st for the Gophers. He was the only male county athlete in the top 50. Sixteen complete teams and 126 boys competed. Both the boys and girls races were two miles (girls used to be shorter).

Hot Shots

Rushford-Peterson (1-2) football got win number, 40-8 over W-K. Noah Carlson had a 106yard interception return TD, a 90-yard TD run, and a TD reception to lead the Trojans.

Chatfield football (2-1) forced six St. Charles turnovers, winning that battle 6-0, to beat the Saints 20-14. The Gophers led 20-0 at halftime. SC had two cracks at a tie or lead in the red zone in the fourth quarter, but both ended with interceptions, the last a game-sealer by Alex Pagel. Gopher Carter Duxbury was an animal (rushing TD, interception, fumble recovery, two sacks). Parker Fossum had 110 yards rushing on 32 carries.

Houston football (2-1) downed G-E 68-22. Four different Hurricanes had multiple touchdowns. Tylor Nelson threw for two and ran in one.

R-P volleyball beat L-A behind Brianna Koop’s 17 kills and 4 aces.

They then took second at the M-C Tournament. R-P beat Waukon (25-20, 25-15), Spring Grove (25-18, 25-18), Brainerd (26-24, 25-20), Cotter (25-12, 27-25), and Grand Meadow (25-23, 25-11). They split with 4th-ranked M-C in pool play (25-21, 14-25), losing to the Cougars (25-13, 25-15) in the championship match. Set-wise, they went 11-3. Koop (57 kills, 68 digs), Savannah Skalet (109 assists, 9 aces), Mikayla Crawford (135 digs), and Ashley Agrimson (27 kills, 5.5 blocks) were tournament leaders. R-P is now 6-3 (all losses to ranked teams). Lanesboro volleyball overcame a 2-sets-to-zero deficit to blow past LeRoy-Ostrander (21-25, 23-25, 25-15, 25-12, 15-8). The Burros had 15 aces over sets three-thru-five after just four the first two. Rachel Kimball had 12 kills and 6 aces.

Three other Burros had eight of more kills, including Cassidy Ruud, who had 19 digs, and Emily Snyder, who had 5 aces.

Houston’s Kelly Jerviss had 9 kills, 6 aces, and 5 blocks in a win over G-E. She had 17 kills in a 5-set defeat to GM. Kingsland freshman Lauren Buchholtz had 16 kills in a 5-set loss to La Crescent. Lanesboro sophomore Joelie Schreiber had 16 kills in four-set loss to L/P. FC volleyball saw an amazing 26-match conference winning streak end versus W-K. The streak began in 2012 (after a loss to W-K).

socialscenes A little of this, A little of that.

By Kathy Little Hats off to the growers, Who raise the crops and tend the livestock!

I’ve tried to grow fruits and vegetables. It is hard work. True, the only animals I have ever tended are several cats and l dog. I know that any animal I took care of cow, pig, or chicken would seem like a pet to me. I could never eat an animal I had raised.

Farms are unfamiliar to me because I was raised in town.

The only time I ever ventured into the country was to go on a hayride or ride a horse. A friend of mine, Linda P., invited me to her farm home to ride her horse, Beauty. This horse was a wily old sway-back mare that we rode

bareback. Riding double was fun until Beauty got sick of it and headed for the wire clothesline.

It was duck down low, jump off or be decapitated. We opted for ducking down. If that did not literally get us off her back, she walked so close to trees that the bark scratched our legs. I told you she was wily!

When I was a newlywed, my husband and I rented the second home on a farm. Trying to impress my landlord, I asked him, “How many bushels of hay do you get per acre?” He just stared at me politely while

my husband explained to him that I really meant to say bales!

When I planted a garden, the landlady referred to it as the “size of a postage stamp”. Then when I announced I was making strawberry jam from berries I had picked at a berry farm, she sent one of her daughters down to help me along with explicit instructions on how to make jam and one dozen vintage jelly jars.

The house was cheap to rent, but didn’t come with a garage.

They raised cows that were intrigued by our car. It was covered with cow tongue marks which I did not find particularly attractive, especially on the windows. Who knew cows had so much saliva?

Then they decided to raise pigs in a barn close to our house. The smell was pungently unpleasant.

Even worse were the flies. Our enclosed back porch was filled with fly stickers. The kind that were tacked to the ceiling of the porch with extremely sticky fly paper hanging down to about head level. They were quite effective but gross, with hundreds of dead flies sticking to

them, and needed to be replaced often. Woe to anyone who got their hair stuck in them.

Later when we bought a house in town, I tried gardening again.

I grew broccoli with big beautiful heads. Imagine my surprise when I cooked it in salted water in a covered pot, and then lifted the cover and found almost dead wiggling gray worms floating on the top. Almost barfing I poured the whole mess into the sink.

My husband was unfazed by this, removed the worms and ate the broccoli. Looking at me if I were terribly fussy, he declared it very good broccoli. It was good that he liked it because I refused to eat any of it. I scrubbed that pot many times before I cooked in it again.

My future gardening exploits introduced me to blight on tomatoes, rust on green beans, and vine borers on squash! I discovered that even though I fed the birds expensive black sunflower seeds, they not were grateful enough to resist my raspberries.

Eventually I realized I was not a food grower and became a regular shopper at farmers markets where I could buy healthy, beautiful tomatoes, green beans, squash, and peas. Raspberries rescued before the birds greedily gobbled them up were also available. Obviously, these farmers knew the “secrets of the earth”. I envied their competence, however it worked out well for both of us. It was cheaper and easier for me to buy their wares, and they profited from my incompetence.

It was a win-win situation.

However you get your fruits and vegetables, happy freezing, canning, or pickling the bounty of nature. This is an easy recipe to make while you are busy preserving food. Obviously, I did not raise the chickens or make the apricot preserves. That’s what supermarkets are for. I do my shopping bit to keep the economy robust!

K. Adams, allowing furWhat was the Civil War like on a personal level? Nick ther generations to experience

Explore that in these letters from the front Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency is pleased to announce the release of its newest title, My Dear Wife and Children: Civil War Letters from a 2nd Minnesota Volunteer, by author Nick K. Adams.

About the book Filled with poignant images of a soldier’s daily activities, his fears and exhilarations in military conflict, and his thoughts and emotions as war kept him far from his family, these historical letters offer a fascinating insight into the personal experiences of a common soldier in

the American Civil War. What does a man write to his wife and young children when he’s at the front? Does he try to explain why he left them? Which of his experiences can he tell? Should he share his feelings of separation and loneliness? And how does he answer their questions about his return? In this case, the man never returned, and his letters were the last mementos his family had to remember him by. His questions are as relevant today as they were over 150 years ago, when David

“There is no better feeling than working for a business in a small town that cares about other businesses’ success.

Hearing how an ad you created helped out a business makes it rewarding.”

- Adrienne

Married to her high school sweetheart, Keith Britson, they have two children, Kyle (5) and Tyler (2). Living in Rochester for 12 years, it was time to get back to their roots. Adrienne and Keith bought a home in Rushford and she transferred to the LaCrosse Airport. Her sister Danielle told her of a job opportunity in Preston, Minn. as a Graphic Designer for the Fillmore County Journal.

Adrienne has been working for the Fillmore County Journal, Perfect Glossy and Visit Bluff Country Magazine and loving every minute of it.

Jane Peck has had three passions throughout her life: dance, history, and teaching. She is thrilled to work on this project, as it combines all three! “As a child, I listened to my grandfather’s stories of the long past in Albert Lea, and that gave me the view that history is real stories of real people, not just dates and wars. I hope this event will help people to imagine other times in their own towns as well,” she says.

SEMAC announces October 1 grant application deadline This activity is made possible by the voters of Minn. through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.

The Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council announces a call for proposals in three categories: Arts & Cultural Heritage, Presenter/Production Assistance, and Small Towns/Rural Areas.

All proposed projects must take place between December 1, 2015 and November 30, 2016 and culminate in a capstone event that is accessible and open to the public.

SEMAC, a non-profit arts agency, is designated by the State of Minnesota Arts Board as the regional arts council for eleven southeastern Minn. counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Mower,

Olmsted, Rice, Steele, Wabasha, and Winona.

For information about the grant application process, eligibility, or grant writing assistance, contact the SEMAC office at 2778 D Commerce Dr NW, Rochester, Minn. 55901 or call (507) 281-4848. Information may also be found on our Web site at www.semac.org.

The online application process opens September 1, 2015.

Applicants have a full 30 days to complete the online application, and must submit no later than 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, October 1, 2015. For a link to the grant interface, visit the application page at www.semac.org.

Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund grants Proposals for Arts & Cultural Heritage grants ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 are accept-

ed from qualified applicants. A match of 20% is required in this category.

The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund will support arts focused activities in three key areas: 1) Arts and Arts Access, 2) Arts Education, and 3) Arts and Cultural Heritage. SEMAC encourages applicants to research and develop proposals that incorporate two or more of the key areas with an emphasis on creating lasting partnerships among regional nonprofit arts organizations and other nonprofit groups.

In addition to eligible arts organizations, nonprofits that do not have arts as a primary focus, such as schools, senior centers, community education, cultural groups and colleges are invited to apply.

Motorcycle rider deaths reach 47 for the year, passing total for all of 2014 Deadly year for riders; officials call on riders and motorists to keep roads safe Forty-seven riders have died in motorcycle crashes so far in 2015, passing the total number of motorcycle fatalities in 2014.

Forty-six riders died last year.

With a few months left of the riding season, public safety officials are asking riders and motorists to make safety a priority to help prevent this number from rising.

Motorcycle deaths are up about 47% from this time last year when there were 32 rider deaths. There is no specific reason for the increase in rider deaths; however, there are some common themes based on the preliminary investigations.

“More than half of these riders weren’t wearing a helmet when they crashed, and nearly half of

these fatal crashes were singlevehicle crashes involving only the motorcycle,” says Bill Shaffer with the Department of Public Safety Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Center (DPS-MMSC).

“These are preventable. We strongly encourage riders to take a training course, wear full protective gear and slow down. It could save their life.”

DPS-MMSC officials also ask motorcyclists and motorists to share the road. Failure to yield continues to be the most-cited contributing factor in fatal motorcycle crashes.

2015 preliminary fatal motorcycle crash facts: Helmet Use: 31 of the riders killed were not wearing helmets. Twelve riders were wearing a helmet. It was not reported whether or not the remaining four riders were wearing helmets.

Age: 65% of the fatalities involved riders over the age of 46; 15% were under 30.

Passengers: Six passengers have died in motorcycle crashes in six crashes. Four of those crashes also killed the driver.

Contributing factors: In 19 of the crashes, riders were negotiating a curve when they lost control and crashed. Speed is also cited as a contributing factor in 11 of the crashes.

Public safety officials urge all motorcyclists to: • Wear protective gear, including a DOT-approved helmet and

brightly-colored protective gear for visibility and protection.

• Be prepared for inattentive drivers by staying focused on riding and keeping speed in check.

• Never drink and ride.

• Always ride within their skillset, use good judgement and maintain a 3-second following distance.

endorsement through the Basic Rider Course and evening testing at select DVS Exam Stations.

Motorcycle safety is a component of Toward Zero Deaths (TZD), the state’s primary road safety initiative. A primary vision of the TZD program is to create a safe driving culture in Minn. in which motorists support a goal of zero road fatalities by practicing and promoting safe and smart driving behavior. TZD focuses on the application of four strategic areas to reduce crashes — education, enforcement, engineering and emergency trauma response.

Recent MMSC activity and statistics • There are more than 236,000 registered motorcycles and more than 414,000 licensed operators in Minn.

• During the 2014 training season, MMSC trained more than 6,000 students statewide.

The FCJ reaches over 13,000 households each week.

Job Creation Fund completes original funding round Gas Buddy Program has generated 3,156 jobs, attracted $497 million in investments The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) has allocated all $24 million that was approved in the 2013 legislative session for the Job Creation Fund.

Since DEED launched the program in January 2014, a total of 46 companies in Minn. have committed to creating 3,156 jobs and investing more than $497 million. Twenty of the companies participating in the program are in Greater Minn.

“Minnesota’s Job Creation Fund is showing how business and government can work together to support jobs and economic growth,” said Lt. Gov. Tina Smith. “These projects are creating good jobs across Minn. and helping to create an economy that works for everyone.”

Altogether, the agency has awarded companies $24.87 million from the Job Creation Fund, including new funding that was approved in the 2015 legislative session to continue the program. While funding has been awarded, no funding will leave the state until fulltime jobs have been created for at least one year and over $500,000 of private investment has been made.

“The Minnesota Job Creation Fund has been a tremendous success in its first year, generating a 20-to-1 return on investment,” said DEED Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben. “With another $25 million in funding available for this upcoming year, we will continue to leverage this tool to attract millions of dollars in new investments and create thousands of new jobs across our state.”

The Job Creation Fund, which was first proposed by Gov. Mark Dayton in 2013, is a pay-for-performance program that provides funding to businesses after they meet certain criteria, including minimum requirements for job creation and private investments.

Under the program, businesses must create at least 10 fulltime jobs and invest at least $500,000 to be eligible for financial assistance.

The following is a list of every company that has been approved for the program to date. Listed is company name, award amount, jobs created, and company investments: •Axis Clinicals, $778,988; 100, $11 million •Harmony Enterprises, $187,000; 14, $1.07 million •DC Group, $535,516; 33, $6.2 million •Bluegrass Proteins, $650,000; 56, $18.2 million •North Star Mutual, $620,000; 12, $9.5 million •Andersen Corp., $626,900; 100, $17.8 million •Valmont Industries, $129,000; 15, $1.1 million •Rosemount Inc., $905,000; 200, $26.34 million • Heraeus Medical Components, $498,100; 55, $7.76 million •Miller Manufacturing, $185,018; 20, $2.03 million •Daikin Applied Americas, $880,000; 40, $8.44 million •Wurth Adams Nut and Bolt, $590,000; 20, $27.57 million •Capital Safety, $750,000; 100, $11.75 million •Cardiovascular Systems, $1.9 million, 205, $30.68 million •Polaris Industries, $800,000; 100, $22.2 million •Custom Products of Litchfield, $188,684; 31, $2.15 million •Perbix Machine, $139,000; 12, $6.91 million •Super Radiator Coils, $287,500; 28, $3 million •DataBank Holdings, $183,000; 18, $48.64 million •Menasha Packaging, $422,520; 15, $7.9 million •Park Industries, $624,266; 25, $5.98 million •Rambow, $84,035; 15, $507,135 •Ikonics, $508,500; 20, $4.3 million •Unison Comfort Technologies, $400,000; 75, $626,883 •Halcon, $175,000; 12, $3.3

September 8- Average retail gasoline prices in Minn. have fallen 7.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.35/g yesterday, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 2,856 gas outlets in Minn. This compares with the national average that has fallen 6.1 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.39/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy. com.

Including the change in gas prices in Minn. during the past week, prices yesterday were 97.4 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 13.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 20.2 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 103.7 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“Not only did Labor Day weekend see millions of Americans take to the road and spend far less than they did last year at the pump, but a growing number of them were able to fill up at under $2/gallon for the summer’s last hurrah,” said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior

petroleum analyst. “Better than one in ten stations in the country now offer gasoline prices at $1.99/ gal or less, and gas prices in 48 of the nation’s 50 states fell in the run-up to the holiday itself, showing that holiday’s aren’t always a catalyst for price increases. The Midwest led the biggest decliners, again, and prices in some of these states now stand a staggering dollar per gallon lower than they were just last month after the BP refinery issue led to spikes, a stunning and quick reversal. As we begin to near the terminus for summer gasoline, I expect prices to continue moving lower, with our projections aiming at a sub-$2/gal average by Christmas- or perhaps even earlier, “ DeHaan said.

Preston speculates about impact of 2017 street improvement project

By Karen Reisner At the September 8 Preston City Council meeting City Administrator Joe Hoffman presented the numbers of a hypothetical 2017 project as requested by the council. Councilman David Harrison was absent.

The council is in agreement that more streets need work and that utilities under those streets are significantly aged. There was less agreement on whether or not the increased tax burden could be borne by the property owners in the city.

Streets included in the hypothetical plan include an area from St. Paul St. on the west, Valley St. on the north, Pleasant St. on the east, and Fillmore St. on the south. Also included were Sunset Rd., a portion of Circle Heights Dr. and Washington St. Councilman Robert Maust insisted that Center St. should also be included.

Hoffman gave rough estimates of the cost of this size of project for engineering, construction, and financing. His estimate was $3.8 million requiring a bond payment of $128,000 for 15 years. He suggested that this would require a levy increase of 15% in 2017/2018, which would need to be held at that level through 2030. This levy increase would be on top of normal cost of doing business

increases.

With expected utility improvements, water and sewer rates will also need to increase, possibly by 50% for residential properties and 25% for commercial properties.

Maust argued the timing was right because of low interest rates and low asphalt costs. City engineer Brett Grabau noted that Rochester projects are taking a lot of the work. Contractors are not short of work opportunities.

Mayor Kurt Reicks asked if we can expect taxpayers to come up with another 15% plus cost of living increases. He agreed the work needs to be done and that doing it in 2017 would probably cost less in the long run, but he didn’t believe, speaking as a taxpayer, that this kind of increase in the future levy would be acceptable.

Councilman Charles Sparks said “there has to be a lot of thinking about this.” Reicks said he would have a tough time supporting it right now. Councilman David Collett asked if the project could be scaled back and done in two steps. Grabau suggested that a $1 to $1.5 million project would be preferable.

Maust maintained that they are talking about infrastructure that can last 75 years, asking why it has to be paid off in 15

years. Hoffman noted that interest costs will be more if the payments are stretched out. Maust insisted that inflation will offset any interest, making it interest free.

Hoffman was directed to get information on a 30 year financing plan and also to look into how it could be done in two smaller projects.

Maust asked again about Center Street. Hoffman figured it would roughly cost an additional $230,000. Reicks asked about contacting the Corsons to discuss options with them. Grabau noted that a feasibility study on Center St. was done about seven years ago. If the council decides to look into Center St. more, that study can be updated for a couple hundred dollars.

Other business in brief Grabau explained that six firms were asked for a quote to turn the North Industrial Storm Water Pond into a dry pond.

Only one quote was submitted

by A-1 Excavating. The quote was for $54,890, which is about $20,000 higher than anticipated. Grabau noted that three of the contractors given the quote package said they didn’t have time to do the work.

Grabau said they could solicit quotes again for spring work to be completed June 1, 2016. The council approved a motion to

solicit quotes again for spring work.

A request for loan forgiveness was received from an Ostrander home owner who had participated in the 2009/2010 Small Cities Grant program. The grant was received jointly by the cities of Ostrander, Preston, and Chatfield with Preston in the lead for the project. The loan for this applicant was $19,441 and used for roof, door, window, furnace, and other improvements.

This loan requires no repayment if the home owner does not sell for 12 years.

There is no precedent for forgiving this kind of loan. The remaining balance on the loan is $13,685. The home owner wants to sell now and be forgiven the remaining portion of the loan. The Ostrander City Council had taken no action on the request.

Dozens of these loans have been made and a number of people have sold before the 12 year time period, paying off the balance of the loan. The consensus of the Preston City Council was to take no action.

Hoffman provided an update on the 2016 budget. The first draft had a 9.11%levy increase.

The city has since been informed that health insurance costs will remain level for 2016, allowing for a budget savings of $5,937.

This reduces the proposed levy increase to 8.33%.

If Preston agrees to issue conduit bonds to assist with a senior living project ( Madonna Towers in Rochester), the city will receive a one time payment of $20,000 for administrative costs for the conduit bonding.

It was suggested that all of this revenue could be used to bring the levy down to about 5.5%.

Hoffman said using one time money to bring the levy down is just “kicking the can down the road”. A public hearing and possible decision on the conduit bonding will happen at a September 24 meeting of the council.

There was more discussion about using the one time payment from the city’s health insurance company to further reduce the levy. Sparks maintained that 15% should go back to the city’s employees, about $100 per employee. Maust said he didn’t think they should do that.

Hoffman said he is anticipating a proposal from employees suggesting the health plan be updated. He said we are looking at options and believe we can have as good or better plan that costs less.

The council has scheduled a special meeting to be held September 10 on the 2016 budget to hear departmental presentations on their budgets and for further discussion.
