One of Lakeville’s two newest city council members has big expectations for the future

Little goes a long way by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

“How old are you?” It was a question heard often during the early months of Lakeville council member-elect Matt Little’s campaign this year. He said people saw his campaign as a long shot. His age was getting in the way of the issues. But as he and his supporters went on a door-knocking blitz, more and more people put Little signs up in their yards. “In September and October when I was knocking on doors,” Little said, “people would say ‘We’ve heard of you, we’re voting for you.’ The age factor went away.” Voters elected the 25-year-old, Lakeville-born man on a platform of low taxes, increased public safety and bolstered youth involvement. When it comes to such involvement, Little is no stranger. Little helped start the downtown Lakeville branch of the Eagan Resource Center’s food shelf after 360 Communities moved its food shelf out of downtown and its headquarters to Burnsville. He counts the Lions among his forays into community involvement. He received the 2010 Lion of the Year award for his efforts. “I love being in them,” he said. “They do so much for the community.”

Living in a community that existed despite modest financial means, Little taught English, navigated the complexities of Chilean Spanish and endured the constant Seattle-like weather patterns. “They say if you can understand Chilean Spanish, you can understand all different kinds of Spanish,” he said. Sometimes relativity is key in a person’s life to provide the purest form of self-assessment. Little found some truth in this during his time in Chile. “It made me appreciate to a large degree what we have and how we live,” he said. “We live

very well in comparison. We have to be thankful for what we have.” Little parlayed his experiences in Chile into a position teaching English as a foreign language here in Minnesota. He is able to use his Spanish with some of the students, but also tutors a lot of Karens, an oppressed minority group from Thailand and Myanmar. “One lesson I’ve learned is that if you want to teach someone another language, it has to be through immersion,” he said.

Farmington council renews call for city to cut two jobs Board rejects several other budgetcutting options by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

On Monday, Farmington City Council members rejected parts of City Administrator Peter Herlofsky’s $400,000 budgetslashing proposal and reiterated the need for staff cuts, an option Herlofsky opposes. Council members eliminated some of the latest proposed cuts, and requested review of certain revenue projections based on concerns they were unrealistic. Consensus was reached on some of the options, but a $140,000 gap remains to

meet the new council direction to cut $425,000 from the $9.2 million 2011 budget, which must be adopted next month. Options city officials will consider to close that gap will include staff reductions, City Finance Director Teresa Walters said Tuesday. The City Council may review the options at a Nov. 22 workshop or at a special session that may be called. Herlofsky has opposed the council’s recommendation to solve the budget problems by eliminating two positions: the economSee Jobs, 16A

Lakeville has multiple senior Achievement gains living campuses in works spurred by staff development strategies by Johnnay Leenay SPECIAL TO THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Board, school district, and buildings to set goals that tie together, Link said. “We’re all reaching for the same goal while being unique,” Link said. For example, the board set a goal to increase student achievement during the 2009-10 school year. The district then set a goal to use research-based techniques and resources to deliver quality instruction to improve achievement for all students. Finally, the buildings set specific goals that focused on increasing student achievement within a specific population, or in a specific subject. Link said professional learning communities, testing, literacy coaching, new curriculums, and other strategies are then implemented to achieve those goals. The district then collects data on activities and analyzes the findings, Link said. “Basically we all are looking at what we can do as teachers and professionals to increase our knowledge, our ability to communicate, and our ability to work towards improving students’ achievement,” Link said.

Lakeville’s teachers aggressively focused on student achievement by way of professional development in 2009 and 2010, and raised student achievement levels as a result, district administrators said. Lakeville Area Public School District administrators outlined teacher professional development strategies from last school year, as well as goals for the future, in a report to the School Board on Oct. 26. According to Susan Link, the district’s secondary teaching and learning coordinator and staff development plan leader, focused staff development led to large achievement gains in 2010. She said the goal is the same in 2011. Link pointed to students increasing reading proficiency by more than 5 percent on last year’s Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment test at Crystal Lake Elementary School, and Kenwood Trail Middle School students increasing their MCA math test scores by 3.6 percent, as examples of specific achievement goals linked to professional development that were achieved in 2009-10. “The results are very significant Johnnay Leenay is an intern and special contributor to Thisweek for our district,” Link said.

Hosanna! Lutheran Church moving forward with senior facility; second group eyeing Lake Kingsley for campus by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville, already home to one senior-living facility that offers a spectrum of care to its residents, could have two more such facilities by 2012. Hosanna! Lutheran Church’s congregation on Oct. 31 overwhelmingly approved a plan to construct a senior-housing development to be built on the west side of Hosanna’s 58-acre property, located at 9600 163rd St. W. In addition, a separate seniorliving project from different developers to be located on Lake Kingsley, near the Chart House Restaurant, was expected to be presented to the Lakeville Economic and Development Commission on Tuesday, Nov. 9. Both projects would offer more than 80 units for seniors looking for independent- or assisted-living homes, as well as memory-care suites. The Lake Kingsley project would be developed by Southview Senior Living Management and offer 32 memory-care units, 46 assisted-living units, and 23 independent-living units at the proposed 35,000-square-foot campus. The facility would be directly adjacent

According to Hosanna, its facility is envisioned to have 20 independent-living units, 47 assistedliving units, 24 memory-care units and two guest suites. That said, the exact mix is still in flux and could change as plans are finalized, according to the church. Lakeville City Administrator Steve Mielke confirmed that Hosanna and its potential partner, Ebenezer, have shown the city a concept for the development. “In concept, it looks pretty good,” Mielke said. “But we haven’t seen a proposal that’s ready

to be turned in to the city or that can start the formal processes.” Hosanna’s congregation approved moving forward with the project at its annual meeting, 92 percent to 8 percent, according to the church. According to reports, the Lake Kingsley project has been in the works for a number of years. Frank Schoben, Chart House’s former owner and the current property owner of the land the facility would occupy, didn’t immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Council recommends flat fee for seal coating Franchise fees planned to be uniform amount by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington City Council members at a Nov. 8 workshop recommended seeking a flat-rate franchise fee for businesses and residences to fairly share road seal-coating project costs. The recommendation was in response to complaints from some property owners who said they would be unfairly assessed under a previous plan that would have been based, in part, on electricity and gas usage. Under the new plan, utility companies will devise a franchise fee schedule that allows the city to collect $400,000 per year Photo by Rick Orndorf with a separate flat fee for Louis Jasmin and John Stein from American Legion Post 521 in Mendota Heights dem- businesses and another onstrate the proper technique to fold an American Flag during Dakota County Technical amount for residences. College’s Military Family Day on Nov. 10. The college held a ceremony on campus that included representatives from the branches of the armed forces and from American Legion Post 521. Also at the event were DCTC student and U.S. Army veteran Jessica Jackson and DCTC President Ronald Thomas, who both issued welcomes.

Franchise fees will be placed in a city fund to pay for local seal-coating projects performed on a seven-year rotating schedule. Farmington City Engineer Kevin Schorzman said seal-coating costs will fluctuate depending on the size of the area to be covered and the amount of materials needed. For the next several years, seal coating is expected to cost between $300,000 and $400,000; in 2016, seal-coating projects are expected to cost almost $600,000. City Finance Director Teresa Walters said the city will have to bond for the projects, and use fees collected to repay the bond annually. Changes in how the

work was paid for was necessary because the city’s road and bridge fund, which was previously used to subsidize half the sealcoating costs, is soon to be depleted. Under franchise fees, all property owners throughout the city, whether they live on paved roads or not, will share the full burden of the seal-coating expenses, because the city assumes they also use the paved roads. Those fees are added on to utility bills, collected by the utility and eventually sent to the city. The new fee structure is expected to be available for City Council review by its Dec. 15 meeting.

safe, temporary tattoo to write a parent’s cell phone number on children’s skin. The non-toxic temporary tattoos are fun to wear and allow children to be able to relate their parent’s contact information to a rescuer if they are lost. Perkins said the tattoos are best worn inside of the child’s forearm or on the shoulder so the information is only exposed if needed. Children enjoy the designs, said Perkins, and their fun look allows parents to raise important safety issues in a way that isn’t frightening. “The tattoos allow parents to ‌ have a conversation with their kids about something that can be scary – getting lost – but talk about it in a fun way,â€? she said. Perkins said the temporary tattoos are particularly helpful for daycare providers taking a group of children on an outing, chaperones charged with keeping track of children on school field trips or for families on vacations and outings. The tattoos are less than two-inches wide and tall, stay on the skin for three to five days, and can be removed with baby oil. Available designs include a dinosaur skeleton, motorcycle, a princess and a butterfly; each tattoo includes the words, “If lost, please call:â€? and allows parents to write a phone number next to the tattoo.

Perkins said 2,000 children lined up at the Minnesota State Fair to re-

ceive a free tattoo. And she said some parents who said their child knew their phone number were surprised to learn they actually didn’t have it

memorized. “For the most part, the response was overwhelmingly positive,� Perkins said. She added that two children whose parents didn’t get the tattoos wound up getting lost later, coming to their booth and asking for help to reunite them with their parents. The FDA-approved tattoos are available online at a cost of $9.99 for a package of 12, or 24 tattoos for $17.99, plus shipping at www.idink.com. Included with the tattoos is a special pen to write a phone number. I.D. Ink tattoos are also available at Uber Baby, 1628 West End Blvd. in St. Louis Park.

that attachment you take decisions made about your city more heavily,� he said. Case in point: cuts in the police department. “You can’t do that in a growing city,� he said. To that effect, part of Little’s three-point plan for his term involves re-energizing neighborhood watch programs. He said increases in burglaries are among the incidents that illustrate the necessity for a comprehensive public safety network. “Even if we prevent one crime, the city saves money,� he said, “and it gets people out there meeting each other.� Another component of his plans is to increase youth involvement in the community. “I want to make a program for high school kids that incentivizes volunteering in Lakeville,� Little said. He proposes intra-public and public-private partnerships using carrots such as scholarships to encourage the city’s youth to give back. “A lot are willing to get involved but don’t know the opportunities yet,� Little said. The third component of his plan is to “make participating in local government more accessible.� Little wants to expand the public comment time allotted at city council meetings beyond the current three-minute limit. “It’s not enough time to construct an argument,� he said. He also aspires to further implement technology by augmenting the web streams of the meetings with the ability for busy working families to participate in public comment from home. “If people have children, they might not be able to make it to the meeting,� he said.

Little’s life trajectory suggests a run for office was inevitable. In fifth grade, energized by an election to vice president of his class, Little said he oversaw a fund-raiser to help build a new playground. In high school, the debate team was his niche. His success in that realm led to a full scholarship to the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He spent a year there, frustrated by the large class-sizes and the commuter-campus ambiance. Debate, he said, “fostered an interest in politics.� Little was quite at home, however, at the University of Minnesota-Morris from which he has a political science degree. He got involved in student government, played trumpet in jazz band and indulged his interest in intramural basketball. But what remains with Little more than anything is the advice of his advisor, Prof. Tom McRoberts, who died on Oct. 11. “He taught me everything that’s important about politics,� Little said amid a mistyeyed reminiscence. “It’s not about winning elections or scoring points or getting the best sound bites. It’s about doing good things for the people that elect you.�

Opinion Thisweek Columnist These four years in Lakeville have been amazing by Derrick Williams THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Who would have known a community would revere its weekly newspaper like Lakeville does Thisweek Farmington-Lakeville? Certainly not I. And it’s something I made sure not to take for granted in my time covering Lakeville for the community’s hometown newspaper. It’s also something I’ll miss. After four years covering Lakeville, I’m handing my laptop, notepad, and press pass off to a different reporter and pursuing a new career opportunity. The love, pride and sense of identity Lakeville shares with Thisweek Farmington-Lakeville, and by association, me, is something at which I’ve always marveled. The phenomenon is unique as far as I can tell. I grew up in Stillwater, a community that absolutely loves its hometown paper, the

Stillwater Gazette. But in my opinion, even Stillwater has nothing on Lakeville. And while things have changed, such as the name on the top of the front page, Lakeville’s affection for the newspaper it still calls the Life & Times is striking. And that adoration for the newspaper is nothing but a benefit for the reporters who have the honor of covering the abundance of news here. Likely because of nothing more than devotion and community pride for its weekly newspaper, I found myself, four years ago, warmly embraced by Lakeville as its news man – its reporter. From the business community, to those who work in city hall and the school district’s office, to the residents who live here, and all those who have read, in these pag-

es, the good and bad news about Lakeville that I have written, I want to say thanks. I’m not going far. I’m moving on to be the new Lakeville editor for Patch.com, an AOL company that is opening online-only news sites in more than 1,000 communities across the country. But I’ll no longer be the editor of Lakeville’s community newspaper, and as an old-fashioned kind of guy who prefers to read his news on paper and not a screen, that’s a bit sad. City officials have proudly touted Lakeville’s charm and character, but experiencing it firsthand each and every day made this job more than just a way to earn a paycheck. Frankly, when I began covering the city of Lakeville in July of 2006, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I thought that covering the news here was just a way to make a living doing some-

thing I am good at. But then I started getting to know the people who live here. Suddenly I was meeting friends and the community was calling me “their reporter.” After a year, I had fallen in love with Lakeville, the bustling suburb with its small-town charm and historic roots. I had the honor of covering everything in this community, from U.S. Sen. John McCain’s historic presidential campaign visit in 2008, to Lakeville becoming a Yellow Ribbon community earlier this fall, sometimes mundane but important council meetings, to honoring some of Lakeville’s amazing pioneers and reporting, in death, their life stories. From the good stories to the bad and sad ones, Lakeville has treated me wonderfully. My hope is that the community treats Aaron Vehling, Lakeville’s newest editor for Thisweek Farmington-

Lakeville, as well as it has treated me. He’s a great writer, fair reporter and a seasoned newshound. He’s also a great guy. More than a colleague, Aaron is a former roommate and current friend. But like me four years ago, Aaron has no clue what he’s getting into. He has no idea that he’ll likely fall in love with Lakeville like I did before him, and like John Sucansky, the man whom I took over for, did before me. It’s not a goodbye, but just a new role. I look forward to seeing the friends I’ve met and the people who used to call me “their reporter” while I’m out and about in Lakeville, working in my new role. Thanks again. Derrick Williams is Lakeville editor of Thisweek Newspapers. He can be reached at lakeville. thisweek@ecm-inc.com.

Letters School Board action is attempt to silence Burke To the editor: After attending Monday’s meeting of the Farmington School Board, I feel compelled to write a public letter on the situation. Board Member Singewald made a motion to engage an independent investigator to look into Board Member Tim Burke’s behavior on the board and determine if he had violated the board’s code of conduct. There was no limit on public funds to be expended on this investigation, but a limit of $10,000 was mentioned by Chairperson Walters (the district is considering laying off teachers for the budget). There was no specific charge, no plan as to a time frame for the action and no plan as to who would be hired for the effort – just an ongoing effort to silence an outspoken member whom the public had voted to the board because he was known to be willing to ask hard questions on any subject and insist on seeing documentation behind issues under consideration. If there is going to be an investigation it should be to look at all board members, their relationships with each other, their relationships with the administration, and any conflicts of interest that exist between board members and administration and within the administration. And then maybe the board should simply have a “free” workshop meeting to iron out its functional differences. I ask all tax-paying residents, parents and all others interested in good local government to view the Nov. 8 board meeting on cable TV (Charter Channel 10) during the next two weeks. You can check the TV schedules for replays and observe and judge for yourself a local government operation that is arrogant, elitist and broken. One of the complaints alluded to was that Burke was not respectful to other members.

Observe, near the end of the meeting, Singewald’s highly disrespectful tirade against Burke’s “pontificating,” with fire in her eyes and an elitist tone of voice. There is hope because three new board members will soon be taking their positions. We can hope that they maintain the common-sense approach they showed during their election campaigns.

Thank a soldier To the editor: The holidays are quickly approaching. Now is the time to think about sending that holiday package to your loved one serving overseas. Help us thank your soldiers for their service this holiday season and beyond. Our organization continually receives and accepts the names of deployed soldiers and families throughout the year – with a special emphasis on the holiday season. If you know someone who is currently serving overseas, visit our website at www. supportourtroopshh.com to submit your soldier’s information. If you know a family of a deployed soldier who could use a little extra help this holiday season or are unable to log on to our website, you can contact Jon Lombardo at (651) 755-6515. The 2010 Support Our Troops Haunted House had another great year at our eighth annual Haunted House. We would like to thank the Farmington VFW, Thrivent Financial- Southern Dakota-Scott County Chapter 30104 (matching funds), and Thrivent Financial-Minnesota Valley Associates for all of their support. The dates for the 2011 Haunted House are already scheduled. Mark your calendars for the second weekend in October: Oct. 7 and 8, 2011.

Hope for a bright future To the editor: Citizens feel very passionate about the political candidates they choose to support and the issues they align themselves with. The benefit of this to our democracy is that each election reminds us that it is the people’s government and that we the people have an opportunity to bring about change. The danger, however, with such political passion is that it can polarize and divide. Our society has remained strong because historically we have united as a people after each election to support those who have been elected to serve. It is now my honor to serve this community as your mayor. The campaign was an exciting and an educational endeavor. My team knocked on over 11,000 doors to introduce ourselves and to listen to your concerns. The highlight of the campaign was meeting so many wonderful and engaged people. That is what gives me hope that Lakeville’s future is bright. I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who was involved in the campaign. On behalf of the community, I would also like to express appreciation to Holly Dahl for her four years of service as mayor and also to Council Member Kevin Miller for his service. MARK BELLOWS Lakeville mayor-elect

Thanks for the vote

To the editor: It comes with great pride and pleasure to be voted in to serve as your Lakeville City Council member. I vow to do my best while keeping the comments from citizens and businesses alike in the forefront of the agendas. Running for a council seat was a very humbling but encouraging experience. I owe the win to a large group of JON LOMBARDO people who continually supand the 2010 Support Our ported me in so many ways. Troops Haunted House Crew Whether citizens were out

installing signs for me, helping me walk door to door to educate the public to get out and vote, writing a letter to the editor of support, giving financial support, or just calling with encouragement, none of it went unnoticed and all was greatly appreciated. There is no “I” in team. We won, not me alone. Many business owners, managers or workers strongly supported me throughout the entire campaign. Most I had not met before, therefore telling me people are ready for a change. I hope I can help facilitate that change in a positive way to keep

Lakeville a great place to call home. The only way we as an entire city can accomplish this is to listen to the citizens and businesses alike and respect their opinions and comments, and act on the ones that make fiscal sense. I intend to treat the revenues and expenditures of the city no different than I have treated my own in my business. I’m willing to make the hard decisions that no one likes to make. I would also like to congratulate Mr. Bellows for his victory, and I know that he will listen to the voters as he has done in the past. Addi-

tionally, I look forward to serving with Ms. Swecker and Ms. Reib with their years of experience on council, and Mr. Little, as I’m encouraged to have the youth of the city step up to serve. Unfortunately there were only two who could take seats on the council, but I felt it was a very cordial campaign for all the candidates and hope those who ran continue to stay involved in the city’s progress in one way or another. Thanks for the vote. COLLEEN RATZLAFF LABEAU Lakeville

Thisweek Columnist Greater good comes when area chambers get involved in local political issues by Don Heinzman THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

One of the most important organizations in a community is the local chamber of commerce. This organization, which works for the betterment of business and the community, generally has the largest membership. It is influential in leadership circles because it represents the important voice and thinking of business leaders. While saying they are neutral because of a diversified membership, chambers normally do not take positions on local political issues. For the past four election cycles, a pact called the MetroNorth Leadership Fund, which is affiliated with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, has been endorsing a slate of local candidates whom a separate board of directors believes would be favorable to business. This separate, nine-member board discusses candidates and then votes on the ones to back. This year’s slate included Democrat as well as Republican legislative candidates. This organization raises money and helps some candidates get elected. It ran an advertisement on its favored slate. Of that slate of 22 candidates, 18 either were elected or re-elected. The Burnsville Chamber of Commerce also has a political action committee that interviews and endorses candidates for local races. Some may question a local chamber backing local candidates, but MetroNorth Leadership Fund Chair John Hartinger says that’s precisely what chambers should do for their members after studying the candidates’ qualifications. Another chamber, the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce, at the request of its

members did an analysis of the threequestion operating levy posed by the Lakeville Area Public School District. Todd Bornhouser, the executive director, wrote an opinion in Thisweek Newspapers explaining the analysis, but in the end said the chamber would not take an official position of support or nonsupport. Lakeville voters approved the renewal of a $3 million operating levy for 10 years but turned down a new operating levy for $7.7 million and a $940,000 technology levy. The MetroNorth Chamber Leadership Fund, like the Lakeville chamber, does not take a position on school levy referendums. They should, though, because businesses depend on a well-educated work force, and the community in which they do business needs a quality school system. Special levy elections for schools fell by the wayside in last week’s election: North Branch, Forest Lake, Milaca, Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan and Elk River all suffered defeats. Opponents of chambers getting involved in backing local issues say such involvement could hurt their businesses when people don’t agree with their choices, and they say that’s not what chambers should do. The greater good, however, comes when the chamber steps up and gets involved in passing policies, studying and taking positions on school levy referendums and electing candidates who can best serve the community as well as business.

Regarding his experience on “Beauty and the Geek,� Bakken said he would “definitely do it over again� if

given the opportunity. However, the show’s tendency to condense hours of footage down to the juiciest, most drama-filled tidbits left him less than ambivalent about the cultural value

of reality TV. In general, “reality TV sucks,� he said with a laugh. Andrew Miller is at andrew. miller@ecm-inc.com.

Lakeville North volleyball hasn’t taken anything for granted this year by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

All season, Lakeville North’s volleyball team was ranked No. 1 in the state except for about four days in September. The girls won 28 of 29 matches before playing in the Class AAA state tournament this week at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Panthers won the Molten Southwest Minnesota Challenge in Marshall, the Todd Bachman Invitational at Lakeville North and won the Section 3AAA tournament on Nov. 6. The only loss this season came at the hands of Wayzata in the Apple Valley tournament finals on Sept. 25. Four days later they beat Wayzata 3-0. “We just always try to stay really positive,” fresh-

man outside hitter Taylr McNeil said. “We don’t get down on anyone and you try not to show any negative body language.” Lakeville North isn’t exactly catching anyone by surprise. Everyone it plays knows they’re the underdog. “We always get the best game from other teams, but we try not to get cocky,” McNeil said. “That’s the worst thing we could do. We just play the best game we can play.” To get to state, the players had to dig deep — as deep as they’ve dug all season. The girls found themselves down 2-1 in a best of five against Bloomington Jefferson in the Section 3AAA finals on Nov. 6. The Panthers won the first game, but too many unforced er-

rors put the team in a desperate situation. “We practiced three flows before the game and we had to go down to our second and third tempo,” assistant coach Doug Bergman said. “We haven’t had to dig that deep down in our playbook this year. “We had to establish the middle and slow ourselves down. Hats off to (Jefferson). I can really respect everything they did.” The Panthers grabbed the momentum back to win 3-2. “They haven’t been in this type of situation all year,” head coach Milan Mader said. “Give them credit for bouncing back.” A comeback win made the victory that much sweeter for the Panthers. “I’m overwhelmed; I can barely talk,” senior setter

Kellie McNeil said after the game. She had 51 assists in the win and her sister Taylr had 25 kills. Going to state is nothing new for the high school, but it’s their first trip in three years. Kellie McNeil is the only player who was on the roster during North’s last trip to state in 2007. “It’s a lot bigger stage,” she said. “There’s going to be big crowds. It’s a lot of fun, but it can make you pretty nervous.” Mirroring the regular season ranking, North was seeded No. 1 in the state tournament. Mader said anything less than an appearance at the state finals is a disappointment. Stretching back to 1981 when the school was just Lakeville High School, the Panthers have gone to state 16 times, four as Lakeville North. They took home the

silver five times, but never the gold. The Panthers feel prepared for state thanks to their difficult schedule and section. Their 28-1 record didn’t feature any cupcake wins from outstate Class A upstarts or fledging charter schools. They defeated the best teams in the state, sometimes twice. “The work has been done,” Bergman said. “Now it’s just staying healthy and focused. There’s not much you can change at this point.” The section tournament itself featured five of the top 10 ranked teams in Class AAA. “We called this our mini state tournament,” Kellie McNeil said. “Everybody here deserved to go.” This time it’s Lakeville North’s turn.

John Kriesel accepted honorary membership into Farmington’s Warrior to Citizen organization, presented by founder Annette Kuyper, during the Patriotic Day celebration at Farmington High School on Nov. 4. Kriesel, the event’s keynote speaker, gave a moving speech that encouraged others to work hard and keep going no matter how hard things seem. Kriesel lost both his legs and two friends in a roadside bomb explosion, and survived after being revived three times on the operating table.

Jobs/from 1A ic development specialist and the administrative services director. At the Nov. 8 workshop, Herlofsky again didn’t recommend staff cuts, but instead offered a number of other options, including paying a portion of the administrative services director and communication specialist staff salaries out of the communications budget, which is partly funded by franchise fees. Council members strongly opposed paying salaries from that fund, even after learning some cable staff salaries are already paid from it. Council member Julie May said transparency is important, stating salary costs should be easily identified in the budget and primarily taken from the general fund. Board members took issue with Herlofsky’s refusal to include staff cuts, and championed prioritizing essential services like police and fire. “The reality is, we don’t have the revenue to support the staff we have now,� council member Steve Wilson said. “I feel like the entire staff of the city is being put at risk be-

Hostile environment At the Oct. 11 meeting, board member John Kampf said he felt Burke was subjecting staff to a “hostile work environment.� This allegation is related to Burke’s communications with administration officials, including his assertion that some of them are withholding information. Burke has had some degree of a contentious relationship with the board and the district since before his election in 2008. He was behind the defeat of the $24 million sports facility referendum and has implored the district to be more transparent with its constituents ever since. The district’s attorney will be charged with the task of selecting an investigator.

There were moments when audience members jeered or cheered, but Burke tried to keep them adhering to the orderly rules of the evening. During the meeting’s public comment portion, a few district residents spoke in favor of Burke and against an investigation. Farmington resident Rick Leverson said he was in full support of Burke and that the School Board should “create an atmosphere of cooperation, not litigation.â€? Laura Beem, who lives in a part of Lakeville within District 192’s boundaries, ar- E-mail Aaron Vehling at aaron. gued that the board should vehling@ecm-inc.com. cause we’re afraid to prioritize crucial positions.â€? Herlofsky asked council members if they would identify certain positions to be cut, but they said it’s up to him. “As difficult a task this is to give to you ‌ I think you can find those cuts, positions that will be the least detrimental to City Hall. That’s the charge we gave you,â€? council member Christy Jo Fogarty said. Council members also rejected a $100,000 cut achieved by eliminating curbside pickup during City Cleanup Day. Residents would instead drop off items at the Municipal Services Facility, and their garbage bills would be reduced by $15 per year. In dismissing the idea, council members said citizens appreciate curbside pickup at a bargain price. Council members also rebuffed a cost-savings option to grant every employee, including police, a one-week furlough. “I don’t favor furlough under any circumstances,â€? Wilson said. Council members directed staff to reduce projections of $70,000 of income from fines and forfeitures to $50,000

that offers 75 independent, 44 assisted-living, and 24 memory-care units. Highview Hills is owned and operated by Minneapolis-based nonprofit Walker Methodist, which was founded in 1945 and operates nine other senior-living facilities in Minnesota.

and cut anticipated interest income from $250,000 to $180,000. Not all news was discouraging, however. Herlofsky said the Farmington School District has expressed interest in leasing about 5,200 square feet of space at City Hall. Farmington District 192 Superintendent Brad Meeks confirmed Tuesday that the district is considering leasing the space long-term. The idea is being considered as part of the district’s Facilities Plan update, and is likely to be discussed at the School Board’s Nov. 17 work session scheduled for 6 p.m. at Boeckman Middle School. Meeks said programs housed at the Instructional Service Center, including the Farmington Food Shelf and special education, may be moved into the 5200-squarefoot space. “There is some energy around it. Anytime you can have intergovernmental cooperation and efficiency, it’s good for the public,� Meeks said. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

programs that will engage seniors. Hosanna’s executive director, Mary Carroll, pointed to the church’s website, www.hosannalc.org, for more information about the church’s plans. A call to Southview Senior Living Management wasn’t immediately returned. E-mail Derrick Williams at: lakeville.thisweek@ecm-inc. com

could happen in January of 2011, and the facility could open in March of 2012. As for the Hosanna project, the church says the facility’s units will likely be market-based and not income-based. The Lake Kingsley project would also have units available for those with lower incomes, according to reports. Hosanna’s lead pastor, Bill Bohline, said in a letter to the congregation that the housing facility at Hosanna is designed to be attached to the west end of the 115,000-square-foot church building. The church and the facility will share a covered drop-off and entryway and other services, such as a cafeteria, bank, and general store, he wrote. “There will be countless opportunities for intergenerational ministries with our Hosanna children visiting and entertaining the residents and the residents coming our way for worship, study, or to volunteer,� Bohline said. “It will be a great example of God’s family caring for one another.� Bohline said a 2009 survey of Hosanna’s congregation found that 75 percent of people considered ministry with and for seniors an important initiative. As a result, the church’s Vision Board began talking to potential partners, Bohline said, and that’s where Ebenezer emerged as the lead partner. Construction on the Hosanna site would begin in the spring of 2011 with occupancy and move-in projected for summer of 2012. Lakeville’s already home to one continuum-of-care senior facility. Highview Hills went up in 2009, offering the first assisted- and memory-care facilities in Lakeville. Highview Hills, located at Highview Avenue and County Road 50, is a 225,000-square-foot facility

about the motion, Burke was calm but assertive in his criticism of the motion. “I don’t think this is going to accomplish anything other than take up time and energy and precious school district dollars to show something we already know: I am not the most polite board member,� Burke said. “(The motion) doesn’t set the parameters for the investigation. It is extraordinarily vague and open-ended.� He also took issue with the absence of financial considerations. The motion did not indicate the estimated cost of an investigation, Burke countered, and also there was no indication as to if he would be compensated for “legal counsel I would have to retain.� Singewald suggested perhaps capping expenditures at $10,000, a request to which the audience groaned emphatically. Board chairwoman Walter asked the audience

to stay civil. An alternative Singewald proposed was setting a spending limit that once reached would trigger a requirement for further board approval. Ultimately, the details were not hashed out by the time the meeting drew to a close.
