Residents face water woes

SAUK RAPIDS — When the crowd silenced and the music started at the Sauk Rapids Community Ambassador Pageant last Thursday, nine candidates — Madeline Bell, Megan Bemboom, Alexys Benner, Brooklyn Harren, Jamiee Kath, Beth Kobluk, Julie Nguyen, Summer Schmidt and Brook Strand — each vied for one of three equally-weighted titles.

Following a nine-week educational candidacy and a contest judged on community involvement, essay, interview, poise and projection and impromptu question scores; Bell, Harren and Kobluk were crowned and selected to represent the city and its people as the 2017-18 Sauk Rapids Community Ambassadors.

“I was humbled because I didn’t expect it,” said Bell, daughter of Ralph and Allison Bell of St. Cloud. “It was anyone’s game. All the scores were really close, and I knew it was going to be that way.”

Harren agreed.

The daughter of Steve and Jill Harren, of Rice, also won the Evening Gown Award for poise and personality.

“I was very shocked. The scores were very close, from what I know they were within tenths. So really anyone could have received it,” she said.

Kobluk had the same attitude.

She considered another candidate a shoe-in for the title and didn’t expect her

SAUK RAPIDS — Two Sauk Rapids residents spoke to the council Monday regarding water problems on their properties.

Scott Adamek and Alice Ellefson voiced their concerns of improper water drainage on the 100 block of Ninth Avenue South. They said the problems began after improvements were made to the sanitary sewer along the street three years ago.

“We have a perpetual water issue,” said Adamek.

“The last three years we’ve just been inundated with water.”

Adamek, who moved into his home in 1991, said he didn’t have water problems for 20 years but now has standing water for weeks at a time. He also said his lot is low and water from the alleyway typically drains onto his property.

Ellefson shared a similar story of Áooding inside her home. Her husband Steve and she have tried to remedy the problem with landscaping, downspouts, gutters and a sump pump, but, according to Ellefson, nothing seems to keep up.

Previous communication with the city indicated the family should visit with a contractor.

Ellefson said it would cost the elderly couple over $8,000 to trench their property, with additional expenses for relocating the bathroom and shower to the outer walls of their home.

City engineer Terry Wotzka said it is difÀcult to pinpoint a single cause for increased water, but that aged clay tile sanitary sewer could have previously absorbed water through its non-watertight joints. However the city is taxed with replacing the inefÀcient clay tile system tp prevent contamination and inefÀciency.

Wotzka, the council and the homeowners discussed the issue to provide clarity of the situations and then the council agreed to refer the problem back to the public works committee for further discussion.

Potlucks are a staple of summer and most someone who is blatantly unhygienic, you can bet I holidays in Minnesota. Eating at one is about as avoided whatever you slaved over in your kitchen. difÀcult for me as writing a weekly column with But really I’m doing you a favor. If you have the an INFG personality. It’s not impossible, but it same feelings when you look at the table – I’m just making sure there’s more for you. Typically the isn’t painless either. So this week, I decided to largest portion on my plate is the food I brought to dish. share. (Close friends and family, please don’t stop Potlucks have never been my thing. As a feeding me. For now I think most of you are in the Midwesterner, it’s plausible I have broken the 11th commandment by admitting this fact, but BY NATASHA BARBER clear.)

My other beef with potlucks is those which I’m pretty sure bearing false witness is higher on are poorly planned. I do understand the nature of that list. See, it’s not the theory I distaste. I enjoy a potluck is to let everyone choose a dish to share, planning and preparing food for communal meals.

But, through experience, I have a hard time Ànding any “luck” but if you’re planning on hosting a meal it might be a good idea to have your bases covered. For instance, Easter this past in the situation.

If you look up the deÀnition of the word potluck, the year my relatives had sliced ham and beef from a store, baked dictionary will share the common theme of the shared meal, but potatoes, a plethora of desserts and three bowls of coleslaw. It’s it will also reference situations where people must take a chance a good thing I like coleslaw.

Timing is important too. Please don’t tell me we’re eating that whatever is available will prove to be good or acceptable.

Basically, let’s hope you get lucky. Luck, mind you, has never at 2 p.m. and it is 5 p.m. before we start the line. I can only feed myself so much at home before starving in front of the buffet been in my corner, but I’ve learned to adapt.

When invited to a potluck, I’m the person who eats at tables.

Now that I’ve vented – or to be truthful, complained home before attending in fear there won’t be anything my taste buds desire. It’s not that I’m allergic or a picky eater, I just – I’ll share a secret. Plan your potluck, let’s eat on time and tend to shy away from dishes that have unfavorable physical please have cold pasta salad, Rice Krispie bars, fresh fruit and appearances. Or if it looks delicious but may cause a belly vegetables. These are safe bets when I need to take a chance on ache, I’m walking on by. I also can be judgmental and pass luck.

Public Notices BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES June 6, 2017 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on June 6, 2017 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Ed Popp, Spencer Buerkle, Warren Peschl, Jim McMahon and Jake Bauerly present. Call to order by Chair Peschl was at 9:00 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Áag.

Chris Byrd, County Engineer, stated his request that, using the project savings from the construction contract with Knife River for the mill and overlay project on CSAH 1, along with other project savings in recent years, the Public Works Department would like to overlay two miles on CSAH 25 (from Popple Creek to CR 43) and Àve miles on CSAH 14 (from CR 65 to Brennyville). He noted that these projects were not in the Àve-year plan and were not previously authorized. Peschl inquired if the road counts on CSAH 25 warrant an overlay, noting that there may be other roads that need more attention. Byrd stated his agreement that there are some county roads that are probably in worse shape and have more trafÀc than CSAH 25; however, CSAH savings may only be used on CSAH roads. He added that these CSAH roads were selected because they are not in the Àve-year plan and an overlay would “stretch” the life of these roads for at least another ten years. Popp commented that there should probably be more discussion about adding roads to the CSAH system. Byrd indicated that there is such a process for that; however, the county must Àrst build the roadway to CSAH standards and then apply to add that mileage to our CSAH system (CR 78 is a candidate for such). Bauerly commented “…poorer counties have a hard time upgrading to those standards so that they can even apply for CSAH mileage…” Byrd conÀrmed that Benton County’s CSAH system is essentially the same as when it was established in 1958; although the county’s population has grown signiÀcantly, the tax base hasn’t grown to be able to afford those upfront costs to rebuild the roads.

Bauerly and Popp stated their belief that unless the county re-grades these roads to bring them to CSAH standards and apply for additional CSAH mileage, “we are never going to be able to Àx our problem”.

Bauerly/Popp unanimous to advertise and receive bids for overlays on CSAH 25 and CSAH 14.

Byrd explained that, in 2012, the County Ànalized acquisition of the

SAUK RAPIDS HERALD | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2017 | PAGE 7

LOCAL NEWS land needed to build CSAH 29 from Mayhew Lake Road to CSAH 3; since it will be a number of years until funding is available for actual construction of the roadway, adjacent landowners asked for the ability to use the county-owned land for agricultural purposes. Byrd stated that, if county-owned land is to be used for something other than a public purpose, lease agreements are appropriate. He noted that, in 2014, letters were sent to landowners stating the county’s desire to enter into lease agreements; some concern from landowners was expressed at that time and, to date, no lease agreements are in place. Byrd stated a current concern regarding the possibility that should those adjacent landowners maintain the property for so many years, they can claim ownership and he does not want to put the county in a position of going back and acquiring land that they had already purchased once. Buerkle suggested that Byrd consult with the County Attorney’s OfÀce in this regard (“adverse possession”).

Bauerly stated his belief that it was not worth the effort of establishing lease agreements, noting “…there’s probably going to be ten agreements for about two acres a piece…” Buerkle stated his agreement. Byrd noted that those landowners have already been compensated for the property and the titles are recorded; they are currently using the property at no cost. He reiterated that, two years ago, the County Attorney’s OfÀce had recommended that lease agreements be put in place. McMahon stated his support for moving forward with lease agreements. Popp inquired about the possibility of the property “changing hands” before construction. Board consensus that Byrd obtain an opinion from the County Attorney’s OfÀce on case law related to the topic of “adverse possession”. Byrd will report back to the Board.

Buerkle/Popp unanimous to approve a contract with ArcaSearch Corporation to image older records in the Recorder’s OfÀce, upgrade the current Compass system for records already imaged, and authorize the Chair to sign (estimated cost of $78,728.00 from the Recorder’s Technology Fund).

Bob Cornelius, Human Services Director, requested approval of an unpaid medical leave for an employee in his department who is not yet eligible for FMLA. He noted that he, as department head, has authorized 30 days of unpaid leave—through August 4th; it is requested that the County Board approve additional unpaid leave through September 12th. Monty Headley, County Administrator, commented that there is a reasonable expectation that this employee will be returning to work. Bauerly/McMahon unanimous to approve the unpaid medical leave request (from August 4th through September 12th).

The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:24 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting.

The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 9:40 AM. Administrator Headley explained that, effective January 1, 2018, MN Statutes permit counties to increase their wheelage tax up to $20.00; Benton County currently assesses a $10.00 wheelage tax.

He noted that the consensus of the County Board at a prior Committee of the Whole was to increase the wheelage tax to $20.00 to help meet funding needs for the 229 mile county road system (those roads which are not eligible to receive state aid dollars); the Board also reached consensus to dedicate 20% of the wheelage tax to creating a maintenance program for road ditches to improve drainage.

Headley stated that the current $10.00 tax generates about $325,000 annually; if the tax were to increase to $20.00, there was Board consensus that $4.00 of every $20.00 would be directed to a roadway ditch maintenance program (generating about $130,000 annually).

Chris Byrd, County Engineer, explained that the roadway ditch maintenance program would include cleaning of ditches adjacent to county roads, removing the build-up of silt and debris and, possibly, replacing culverts if needed. He anticipates that this work would be contracted out. Bauerly commented “…I get more calls on ditch drainage than I do on any other subject…we’re putting 30,000 yards a year of gravel on gravel roads that’s going in these ditches…until we can afford to re-grade some of these roads, this is kind of a “bandaid”…even though the legislature passed money for roads, it’s only for CSAH roads…nobody likes taxes, but this is more of a user fee in my book…if you don’t maintain drainage, you weaken the subgrade and it destroys your whole road…” Byrd clariÀed that the wheelage tax must be used for transportation purposes, which would be just the public roadway ditches. Buerkle commented that he would like to see some sort of commitment to levy reduction before he could vote to increase the wheelage tax, noting that nearly $550,000 of levy dollars is going into the local road program now, plus the wheelage tax. He felt this topic needs further discussion, including some type of prioritizing of roads to assist in the Àve-year road planning. Bauerly stated “…I agree in principal, but I’d hate to see us tie our hands to levy relief …my goal in the next three or four years is not to raise taxes…we need to increase our funding for local roads, but we need to balance our budget too… we will debate the budget at the time…”

Peschl noted that a program for road ditches to increase drainage will increase land values and, in turn, raise the tax base. Popp stated his agreement with Buerkle—that if our county residents are going to be taxed another $325,000 in wheelage tax, there needs to be a reduction or no increase in levy. Bauerly indicated his agreement. McMahon commented “…our roads are in such terrible shape…I’d rather see this funding go to supplement and not supplant any original funding…that’s a good debate for budget time…” Motion by McMahon to adopt Resolution 2017-#23, increasing the County wheelage tax from $10.00 to $20.00 effective January 1, 2018, and authorize the Chair to sign. Second by Bauerly. Noting that counties have until August 1st to notify the State of any wheelage tax increase, Buerkle reiterated that he would like more discussion. Motion carried with Bauerly, Peschl and McMahon voting aye and Buerkle and Popp voting nay.

Headley referenced the County Engineer’s recent request to add a third Engineering Technician position; the proposal included eliminating the vacant Highway Worker position. He noted that, historically, the department had three Engineering Technicians before the Highway Worker position was created; also, engineering workload has grown with the addition of new funding for local roads—turnover in the Highway Worker position was also mentioned as a factor. Headley noted that, over the long term, the Grade 8 Engineering Technician position will cost about $10,000 more per year than the Grade 6 Highway Worker position, although, in 2017, this additional amount will be covered in the current budget since the Highway Worker position has been vacant since November 2016. Buerkle/ Popp unanimous to abolish the vacant Highway Worker position and create an Engineering Technician position in the Highway Department.

Headley reported that special legislation adopted during the 2017 legislative session allows Benton County to appoint a County Recorder; under MN Statutes, special laws are not effective until approved by the local government unit in the form of a resolution. He stated that a certiÀcate of local approval must also be Àled with the Secretary of State; the adopted resolution must accompany the certificate. Buerkle/Popp to adopt Resolution 2017-#24, approving Laws of 2017, Chapter 92, Article 3, Section 2, permitting Benton County to appoint a County Recorder, and directing the County Administrator to Àle a CertiÀcate of Approval with the Minnesota Secretary of State, and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution. Motion carried with Buerkle, Popp, Bauerly and Peschl voting aye and McMahon voting nay.

Headley explained that before Benton County may take action to appoint a County Recorder, the County must conduct two public hearings; a resolution notifying the public of the intent to appoint a Recorder must be published for two consecutive weeks in the County’s ofÀcial newspapers and in the ofÀcial newspapers of all cities located wholly, or partially, within the County. He indicated that the resolution must set forth the date, time and place of the two public hearings; one may occur between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and a second hearing must be held between the hours of 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM—the public hearings may occur after a minimum of ten days following the last publication. Board members were in agreement to hold the Àrst public hearing on July 5, 2017 at 10:00 AM and the second public hearing on July 5, 2017 at 7:00 PM. Headley suggested that the process include holding the two public hearings, setting a Committee of the Whole to discuss the appointment/ possible reorganization of the Recorder function, and then adoption of a formal resolution to make that appointment and, possibly, any reorganization attached to it. He pointed out that the change can become effective a minimum of 60 days following formal adoption; during the 60-day period, a petition could be gathered to bring this issue to a public vote (the petition must contain signatures equal to 10% of the registered voters in Benton County—that’s about 2,200 registered voters). McMahon/Bauerly unanimous to adopt Resolution 2017-#25, setting public hearings on the proposal to appoint a County Recorder (July 5th at 10:00 AM and at 7:00 PM) and directing the publication of said resolution for two consecutive weeks in the ofÀcial county newspapers and in the ofÀcial newspapers of all cities located wholly, or partially, in Benton County, and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution.

Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county.

June A June Dairy Month special Area dairy farmers named to state milk quality list Schmitt Dairy, Montags, Marshiks record low somatic cell count averages

BY ANDREA BORGERDING STAFF WRITER

RICE – The Schmitt family considers it a personal challenge to produce milk with a low somatic cell count.

They know the beneÀts to their third generation dairy farm in Langola Township north of Rice – healthy cows, higher milk production and the highest quality of milk possible.

“There is not just one thing we do to keep our SCC low, but rather a combination of routine and attention to detail,” said Natalie Schmitt, who operates the dairy with husband, Mark and brotherin-law, Al. The Schmitts’ attention to detail in managing their herd of 100 milking cows landed them on Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s annual list of top Minnesota dairy herds with low somatic cell counts (SCC). Somatic cell count is a key indicator of milk quality, a lower SCC count is better for cheese production and a longer shelf life for bottled milk. Although somatic cell counts occur naturally and are not a food safety concern, dairy farmers monitor them because they can be used as a measure of the health of their cows.

In recognition of June Dairy Month, 111 dairy farms are being recognized f o r

superior herd management skills by achieving an average SCC of less than 100,000 cells/mL. For nearly 15 years, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and University of Minnesota dairy experts worked with the state’s dairy farmers to lower somatic cell counts. When the initiative began in 2003, the 100 herds honored that year included those with SCC average as high as 144,000 cells/mL, compared to the current goal of obtaining a SCC under 100,000 cells/ mL. “This effort has exceeded our expectations,” said Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. “Our dairy producers have worked hard to improve management of their herds to reach this level of excellence.”

For many farmers on the list, it takes a conscience effort in management practices to ensure cows are producing milk with low SCC. The Schmitts, who ship their milk to Sunrise Ag Cooperative, keep their cows’ bedding area clean and have their milking equipment checked routinely.

“We make sure teat ends are cleaned before milking and we also use pre and post iodine dip on the cows to prevent infection,” Schmitt said. “We always implement a dry cow therapy protocol at the end of a cow’s lactation.”

Sauk Rapids dairy farmer Jeff Montag said consistency in milking routines earned

The Marshiks credit sand bedding in their freestall barn in helping to keep their herd’s somatic cell count low. Marshiks were one of 111 Minnesota dairy farms who were recognized for superior herd management skills by achieving an average somatic cell count of less than 100,000 cells/mL.

his herd on the state list.

Montag’s routine includes stripping milk from the cow, dipping and wiping the cows before every milking prevents any passage of infection. Montag milks 52 cows with wife, Judy, and two children, Leah and Cory near Sauk Rapids. They ship their milk to Gilman Co-op Creamery.

“You know the cows are healthy and you aren’t treating cows and throwing away milk,” Montag said.

Montag said sand bedding has made a difference in keeping cows clean and reducing

pathogens, which cause infection.

Brandon and Jill Marshik, dairy farmers named to the list, also said sand bedding and adding fresh bedding to their freestalls every week contributes to their herd’s low SCC. “It lets you know you are doing a very good job keeping cows clean, comfortable and healthy,” Brandon said.

The Marshiks milk between 55-60 cows on their farm near Rice. They ship their milk to Gilman Co-op Creamery.

Marshik said receiving a premium on their milk check is another reason having a low SCC is important to him as well as not having to treat cows with antibiotics.

Processors pay a premium for milk with low counts. A farmer whose herd has a very low count can receive a signiÀcantly higher price per

hundredweight compared to a farmer whose herd average is high.

Whether it’s for healthier cows or producing high quality milk, Schmitts, Montags and Marshiks all have their reasons for

maintaining superior herd management. For them, their diligence has become daily routine and that has made all the difference on their farms and for Minnesota’ dairy industry.
