Crystal Lake Elementary to close this year Lakeville School Board votes to repurpose the building to save more than $750,000 by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Her face red with melancholy, Kim Heiar told the Lakeville School Board the reasons why she chose to send her children to the soon-to-be-closed Crystal Lake Elementary. She said its diversity and the amazing success it has with some of the district’s most vulnerable students are among the traits that make the school an important center of learning. “This is a special school with a special climate and special kids,” Heiar said. “I want you to understand that.” The School Board voted on March 8 to close and repurpose the school, likely moving the district’s early childhood programs into the facility. The move will realize $750,000 in savings for the district. On top of that, once the district’s lease at Kenwood Center, which now houses Early Childhood Family Education expires, there will be more than $450,000 in additional savings. This is enough

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan (above) joined U.S. Rep. John Kline at Crystal Lake Elementary in January to discuss education policy and tour the school. Part of that tour included Duncan participating in educational games with students in the school’s ELL program. to save 17 teaching positions. Wold Architects made the closure recommendation at a Lakeville School

Board study session March 3 after considering several criteria, including geography, facility space, feasibility for repurposing,

and enrollment, among others. Wold has been working with the district in a variety of consulting capacities since the early

1990s. In January the school recently hosted U.S. Rep. John Kline and U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan as part of a school tour/press conference. At the time, Kline said he chose the site because it was his neighborhood school. Duncan said it was an example of a great school. “I look at this school and it’s not a failure,” Duncan said at the time. The closure and repurposing is part of a $15.8 million budget adjustment plan on which the School Board voted in February. Now that the board vote has happened, the district will form an Attendance Area Task Force consisting of Superintendent Gary Amoroso (as a facilitator), two School Board members, Director of Business Services Mark Klett, and two school principals.

Farmington closes license For now, the former police station stays center after state denial off the market State says city’s subcontracting of services is illegal

by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington’s week-old deputy registrar’s office closed at 2:30 p.m. March 8 because the state denied approval for the office to issue motor vehicle licenses and services. Since opening Feb. 28, the city was limited to selling Department of Natural Resources-related licenses, and as a result had only made two such sales, said Amanda Van Binsbergen, manager of Quick-Serv, which operated Farmington’s deputy registrar’s office for the few days it

contractor to run the office it operates. Under contract, the city would charge Quick-Serv no rent for the City Hall space, but would be paid 25 percent of filing fees collected totalling over $100,000 beginning in 2012.

Southern Hills Golf Course for sale Broker asks $5.4 million for 18-hole championship course by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Southern Hills Golf Course in Farmington is up for sale. Built in 1993 by Twin Cities investor Grady Newman, the 18-hole public course is listed for $5.4 million, although listing broker Frank Jermusek with commercial real estate brokerage firm Grubb & Ellis, said offers will be considered.

Building has been idle for two years but some say it needs to be sold by Aaron Vehling THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

It looks like the police station won’t be put up for sale just yet. Because of a tie vote and an absent council member at a previous meeting, the Lakeville City Council voted once again at its March 7 meeting on whether to put the former police station at Holyoke and County Road 50 up for sale. This time around, the council tabled the motion on a 3-2 vote with Mayor Mark Bellows and Council Member Colleen Ratzlaff LaBeau the dissenters. Council Member Matt Little introduced the motion to table the vote to sell, which council members Kerrin Swecker and Laurie Rieb affirmed. Bellows said the motion to table showed the community the council’s “inability to act.” “I have been the most vocal proponent of selling that police station from day one,” he said. “It’s an embarrassment that we have sat on it this long.” At the previous council meeting, LaBeau introduced the motion as a surprise during the “new business” section of the agenda. Rieb was absent and so the vote tied. Council bylaws dictate that motions that result in tie votes must get another vote at subsequent meetings until the tie is broken. LaBeau said she did not introduce the motion to be subversive. She said she was responding to citizen complaints about the former police station and wanted to let the community know the city is practicing fiscal responsibility. The property, located across the street from City Hall, has been vacant for more than two years. Bellows has also indicated he wants to pursue all options

for repurposing or selling the property. Representatives from the senior center and the Lakeville Area Historical Society have been conducting analyses and surveys to determine the viability of both entities occupying the former police station. The City Council and those representatives have been talking about this possibility since fall 2009. Little, Rieb and Swecker all said they voted to table the motion to sell because of those pending analyses. “Patient, thorough analysis needs to be done before we vote on the sale of part of our civic campus,” Little said in a statement issued via Facebook the morning following the City Council meeting. Bellows said putting the property up for sale does not mean those groups still can’t do the work to determine the feasibility of the site for their uses. The city also has been looking into using the former police station as a new location for the current Heritage Commons liquor store, once that $14,600-amonth lease expires.

Is it viable? The building, located at the northern gateway to Lakeville’s historic downtown, was appraised at $1.6 million. To put it up or sale and contribute that money to the city’s coffers sounds appealing to many, but questions persist: Would anyone buy it? What would a developer do with it? Roz Peterson, a Lakeville School Board member and commercial real estate developer, thinks the site has potential if the city were to put it up for sale – the location, if not the aging building. “It’s definitely one of See Station, 11A

Meeks finalist for Stillwater superintendent by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington Schools Superintendent Brad Meeks is one of seven finalists vying to lead the Stillwater Area Public School District. By Wednesday night, after this edition went to press, the Stillwater School Board was to name two or three c a n d i d at e s asked to return for interviews with both the pub- Brad Meeks lic and the board during the week of March 21. The board will name its new superintendent March 24. “The board hopes to have a contract approved by March 31,” said Carissa Keister, communications coordinator for the Stillwater Area Public Schools. During a special meeting Monday night, the Stillwater board selected Meeks and six others as finalists: Craig Menozzi, superintendent, New Prague; William Laney, assistant superintendent, St. Louis Park; Deb Henton, superintendent, North Branch; Troy Miller, assistant superintendent, North St. Paul/ Maplewood/Oakdale; Corey Lunn, superintendent, Montgomery Lonsdale; and Rod Thompson, superintendent, St. Anthony New Brighton. Consultants from School Exec Connect, an executive search firm, recommended the finalists after reviewing 34 candidate applications for the position. Attributes desired in the new superintendent include a leader with high integrity and values, excellent interpersonal skills, and a collaborative consensus builder who is capable of working with others. In addition, the superintendent Stillwater seeks is a leader who brings a “customer service” focus and has a strong understanding of school finance, according to the Stillwater School District website. That district has been searching for a new superintendent since January. Apparently, competition for the position is strong; in its original plan, the board intended to select five or six candidates to continue in the process. “I think (board members) just thought there were some really good candidates, and they wanted to interview as many of them as possible,” Keister said. Meeks has led Farmington since August 2003, receiving consistently favorable job reviews by Farmington School Board members. However, there has also been public criticism that the district lacks transparency, and under Meeks’ leadership, the district went through a divisive and expensive year-long legal battle regarding the high school’s location. The district has also been publicly criticized for a lack of transparency regarding the level of information it shares with the public. Meeks resigned his position Feb. 28, but under an agreement with the Farmington School Board, has an option to remain on the job to train his replacement until Aug. 31, 2011.

Why Crystal Lake? The school, which borders Burnsville, is located in an area with the shortest distance between elementary schools, said Wold partner Vaughan Dierks. Oak Hills, Cherry View, Christina Huddleston and Eastview, along with Crystal Lake, are all in the northeast quadrant of the district, where demographics trend older. Most of these schools have the excess capacity to absorb students from a closed school, according to the Wold report. This means the redistributed Crystal Lake students would have the potential to attend an adjacent elementary school without concern of overcrowding in the receiving school. That proximity also left

cess to come to the decision took five weeks, but that is about as long as they could take. “As painful as this process is, if we don’t move forward tonight we put our staffing in jeopardy,� he said, referring to the complex art of planning for staff assignments across the district. At least three School Board members’ children attended Crystal Lake. Bob Erickson, Judy Keliher and Roz Peterson said that made the vote that much harder. Keliher said her son started school there when it opened in 1987. “This will be a tough, emotional vote,� she said. Crystal Lake principal Bill Mack read a prepared statement to the School Board during the public comment portion of the March 8 meeting. He said he was not trying to plead with the board to vote against closing the school: He realizes the economic realities, but “I want to help you understand the impact that closing a school as special as Crystal Lake will have on the community at large.� “Crystal Lake,� Mack said, “has a rich diversity unlike anywhere else in Lakeville.� For a comprehensive look at the building closure analysis and report, visit the district’s web site at www. isd194.k12.mn.us/pages/ Lakeville_SD/ElementaryClosure.

March 3 study session with some colleagues. Her program was already part of the budget adjustments the board voted on last month. When Maloney heard for certain her entire school was the recommended site, she said it was “a very sad day.� “It’s a wonderful school,� she said with some stoicism. “It’s just an extremely sad day.� Julie Urban and Michele Jansen are also fifth-grade teachers at Crystal Lake. As the Wold presentation to the board appeared to identify their school as the prime candidate for repurposing, both Urban and Jansen were hit with a powerful blitzkrieg of emotion. Tears streamed down both their faces as they spoke with a Thisweek reporter. “We’re both shocked,� Urban said. “We’re like a big family.� Jansen has been teaching at Crystal Lake for 11 years. Though the administration will likely move her to another building, Jansen said it will not be the same. “I got so close to the families,� she said, adding that she has taught an entire sequence of siblings from some families. “There is a sense of a community.� There was also a sense that Lakeville is becoming something totally different – that it is losing a certain set of the charming, even comforting, characteristics that it once had. “I grew up here. I went to school here,� Jansen said. “This feels like that Springsteen song, ‘My Hometown,’ where everything is closing down.� Maloney said she understands why her school was chosen. Wold’s 129-page report is very thorough, she said, and “I wish the whole community would read it.�

other possible schools with older demographics out of the mix. For example, to close Orchard Lake, which is the only Lakeville elementary school west of Interstate 35, would put the district at a disadvantage for retaining students in that part of town, the report said. That school serves to draw some open-enrollees from neighboring districts. Another component, according to the report, was the feasibility for repurposing. The School Board intends to vacate the Kenwood Center property it leases for Early Childhood Family Education. Crystal Lake matches that site’s accessibility and proximity to highly trafficked thoroughfares, the report said. While the evaluation Wold conducted shows the sheer volume of data processed to come to the decision, the community will still feel a sense of loss. “The staff at Crystal Lake provided this community with a foundation for great academics,� said School Board Member Bob Erickson. “I don’t want to walk away from this without reflecting on the great educators we’ve had.�

How are we serving your community? by Larry Werner

website, ThisweekLive. com, so it’s more interactive and more utilitarian. Change is a constant in our business, and we have to keep up with what our readers want so advertisers will use us to reach those readers. The changes we’ve made over the past three years were informed by focus groups and other input from those who read our papers. So it’s time to ask you once more what you’d like us to consider as we set priorities for continuing our mission as the leading news and advertising medium in Dakota County. We plan to sponsor six community conversations in coming months so we can listen before we leap to judgments about more changes. For many years, newspapers didn’t spend time asking communities what they thought. Our subscription paper, the Dakota County Tribune, was started in

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

A little over three years ago, I decided retirement wasn’t my thing and accepted a job managing Thisweek Newspapers and the Dakota County Tribune. If I had been interested in a relaxing, stress-free position after many years at the Star Tribune, I learned quickly that this wasn’t that kind of job. The newspaper business was not only being buffeted by the winds of the Great Recession but was dealing with its own challenges related to competition from the Internet for our readers and advertisers. We made changes to adjust – discontinuing papers we had launched in Prior Lake and Savage, combining and redesigning six papers in Dakota County into three papers, with each serving two cities instead of one, and turning our Dakota County Tribune into a business weekly. We’ve also redesigned our

1884 and did just fine covering news and selling advertising until it faced a new kind of competition in the 1970s. Instead of delivering weekly papers only to those who paid for subscriptions, publishers started delivering papers free to entire communities. So advertisers were able to reach virtually all residents rather than just those who paid for a subscription. The Clay family that owned the Tribune responded to that new competition by starting a free paper called Thisweek that was delivered to virtually all homes in Farmington, Lakeville, Burnsville, Eagan, Apple Valley and Rosemount. Thisweek succeeded as a free, total-market-circulation paper and was purchased from the Clays by ECM Publishers of Coon Rapids in 1999. As the 21st century dawned, our paper faced a new kind of competition from Internet sites where the advertising that supports the media was being sold

for very little. We got into cyberspace with our own website, which one recent survey showed is the leading community-news site in the metro area. However, virtually no news organization has figured out how to support a news company with low-priced website ads. And we hear from many of you that you prefer to read the news and ads from your community on good, old newsprint. But our news staff, under the leadership of Managing Editor Tad Johnson, is posting stories every day on ThisweekLive.com for those who prefer the timeliness of the web. Tuesday night, for example, our Lakeville editor, Aaron Vehling, and Jessica Harper, who covers two of our school districts, posted stories from school board meetings held that night in Rosemount and Lakeville. They have done complete reports on those meetings for today’s print edition. That print edition of Thisweek,

by the way, was recently named the best free newspaper in the state by the Minnesota Free Paper Association. I am very proud of the staff that produces our newspapers out of our offices in Burnsville. No news organization invests more than ECM in providing news and advertising in Dakota County. However, we can always improve. My e-mail is at the bottom of this column. Send me your thoughts on what you expect from Thisweek and the Dakota County Tribune. What do you like? How can we improve? We’ll invite some of you to join us for a discussion of your communities and their relationship with a news organization that’s been around for 127 years – and counting. Larry Werner is editor and general manager of the Dakota County Tribune and Thisweek Newspapers. He can be reached at larry. werner@ecm-inc.com.

Trip an important learning experience To the editor: As parents, we spend a lot of time measuring the growth of our children. Most of the growth is physical and is easy to see when our child grows a couple inches or jumps to the next size in clothes. But occasionally we get to see intellectual and emotional growth, too. And those are pretty special moments. From Feb. 23-25, seven teachers and the principal of McGuire Middle School in Lakeville took 128 eighth-graders and 16 parent chaperones to Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center, about 70 miles north of Duluth. This trip has been going on for nearly 20 years from

McGuire and thousands of students have benefited from the classes taught on topics such as winter survival, rock climbing, snowshoeing, and the ever-popular, ropes course. These classes sound like they only require physical skills. But much more than physicality, the classes really ask the students to find deep inside themselves a mental discipline and emotional confidence that most of them have never used and had no idea they possessed. These classes encourage students to practice teamwork and to learn and put into practice a great concept called Positive Mental Attitude. It is a chance for students to learn life skills that make them better as people and that will

contribute richly to them becoming the responsible citizens that adults hope and pray for our school children as the next generation running our world. I hope I can speak for parent chaperones, and those parents not fortunate enough to be along, when I say thanks to the teachers/organizers of this trip including Jessica Just, Andrew Hilliard, Kathryn Fedora, Brandon Swenson, Kevin Sayers, Brooke Bauer, Judy Miller, and McGuire Principal Joshua Alexander. Their preparation for this trip, attention to detail, and ability to work with the students in getting them through these sometimes emotionally difficult exercises was truly professional. I was happy to have

To the editor: Gov. Mark Dayton is already moving to get us back to work. While many folks are only talking cuts or suggesting less salary for our struggling teachers, Dayton’s jobs bill proposes $531 million in investments in over 300 critical infrastructure projects and will immediately help smart and hard-working Minnesotans put food on the table. His responsible budgeting plan HOLLY CAIRNS has us looking toward the Greenvale Township future with hope.

Dayton plans to pay for his jobs/bonding bill by demanding fairer taxation. If we look back to Gov. Rudy Perpich’s time, we would see the wealthy then paid twice the percentage of tax that they do now. The percentage the rich pay has slowly declined from 18 percent to 7.85 percent. The rest of Minnesotans are unfairly shouldering the heavy tax burden. It’s time for the rich to pay more of their fair share. It’s time we start to build a better Minnesota. Please call your legislator to say you want the bonding bill to pass, and you want fairer taxation! The American dream means we all have a chance to succeed. We should have that chance.

5A Director Brenda Wendlandt filed a complaint with the state Attorney General’s office regarding the decision. City Attorney Joel Jamnik was forwarded the state’s letters refusing authorization, and he said he plans to discuss the situation with council members at a future meeting. “I anticipate we will present options to the council and seek their direction,� Jamnik said in an e-mail. Although the office is closed, Van Binsbergen said she’s standing by the city in its effort to re-open the office. “Legislatively, they were given an office, so we’ll find a way... It was given to (the city), and there should be a way to get this office up and running,� Van Binsbergen said. State officials were not able to be immediately reached for comment.

denying the required state authorization. McCormack also wrote that Farmington’s license center violates state law requiring license centers to be located 10 miles apart. Farmington’s location was about six miles from Lakeville’s license center and seven miles from Rosemount’s license office. However, city officials point to special legislation allowing Farmington to become a full service deputy registrar’s office. The law states that despite Minnesota statutes and rules limiting license center sites based on distances, Farmington has authorization to operate a full-service deputy registrar’s office. Farmington City Council Member Jason Bartholomay questioned whether Farmington is being singled out, noting that neighboring cities have deputy registrar’s offices closer than 10 miles apart.

The Rosemount and Apple Valley license centers are five miles apart, and seven miles separate Lakeville’s license center from Apple Valley’s location. “We are vigorously going to fight it,â€? Bartholomay said, adding he has joined Farmington Mayor Todd Larson in contacting Gov. Mark Dayton’s office to help rectify the situation. Bartholomay, chair of the Economic Development Authority, said the deputy registrar’s office encourages economic development, draws people downtown and serves citizens. He said that McCormack opposed the legislation when it was proposed in 2010. After visiting City Hall just a half hour after the license center closed, Larson said the city is dedicated to fighting the decision. “We’re seeing what our next move is. ‌ We’re not giving up that easy,â€? he said. In his March 3 letter to Dayton, Larson questioned

McCormack’s sole authority to issue the denial in opposition to passed legislation. To challenge the ruling, the city has sought advocates, including Public Safety Commissioner Ramona Dohman and Farmington resident state Rep. Pat Garofalo. In an interview Wednesday, state Sen. Dave Thompson, a lawyer, said he spoke with Bartholomay and Larson regarding the issue and is prepared to take action. Thompson, R-Lakeville, said he planned to review the legislation and McCormack’s letters with Senate counsel, then either write a letter of clarification to McCormack this week asking to allow the licensing operations or sponsor legislation to allow the office back in operation. “I believe DVS has the best interest of all cities and towns in mind and this could all be cleared up with some conversation,� Thompson said.

sley from Apple Valley in the second. In the consolation bracket, he beat St. Michael-Albertville’s Michael Nerdahl, 7-0, and Maple Grove’s Frank Cramer, 5-1, before losing to Irondale’s Derek Weinmann, 4-2, in overtime. In the fifth-place match, he outscored Robbinsdale Cooper’s Jamie Brazil, 6-3. “I would have liked to finish a little higher on the podium, but you’re not going to wrestle any slackers here,” Elmer said.

In his third trip to the Class AAA state individual wrestling tournament, Farmington’s Carl Elmer went home with a medal. He placed fifth at 140 pounds. “I know he was really disappointed after not placing last year, and he put in some extra work during the offseason with the goal of placing at state this year,” coach Chad Olson said.

Tyler Magalis won the Class AA state diving title last weekend at the Aquatic Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. He finished 35.74 points higher than the rest of field with a score of 461.35. The second-place diver posted 425.6. It was almost a 100-point improvement over his score in last year’s state final when he placed sixth with 366.85. This year, he had tallied 324.25 by the end of the preliminaries. He finished 12th in 2009 and 11th in 2008. It’s the second diving state champion to come out of Farmington in the past seven years. In 2004, RJ Rappe won the Class A state title with a score of 443.80. Brian Huls also had an exciting weekend coming in eighth in the 100-yard freestyle and ninth in the 50 freestyle. Magalis and Huls joined Christopher Kirchmann and Allen Berg to finish 10th in the 200 freestyle relay, and Loren Hatten and Zachary Holton to 13th in the 200 medley relay.

Petersen wins state wrestling title at 215 pounds by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville has its first state wrestling champion. Zane Petersen became the first wrestler from either Lakeville North or South to win a state individual wrestling championship on Saturday at the Class AAA tournament at the Xcel Energy Center. Petersen pinned Hastings’ Isaac Eichmann in the 215-pound final to earn his gold medal. “One hundred years from now they’re going to look back and see Zane Petersen was the first one,” he said. “I put my family’s name on the board. It hasn’t hit me yet.” On his way to the final, he pinned Dillan Schauff from Alexandria, beat Apple Valley’s Corbin Farrell, 3-1, and Centennial’s Zack Vine, 4-1. Petersen said the key to his success was to take whatever opportunities his opponent gave him. “You don’t want to give anyone any chances,” he said. Petersen was ranked No. 1 at 215 all season, so it

Petersen said he put in a lot of extra work to make sure he fulfilled expectations. “My coaches had a great game plan,” Petersen said. “I

His dad was a captain on Lakeville High School’s team in the 1960s, so Lakeville wrestling is in his blood. His brother, Tom Petersen, finished in sixth place at state at 189 pounds this weekend. “He’s one of the reasons I got here too,” Zane Petersen said. “We wrestle a lot, and I’m not going to let my little brother beat me.’” Their teammate, Eric Hensel, went 1-2 at state. He pinned East Ridge’s Nick Bachmann in the first round, but lost to eventual state runner-up Clayton Jennissen from CambridgeIsanti in the next round. In the consolation bracket, he lost to Jake Swenson from Hastings, who eventually took fourth. South’s Austin Britnell lost in the first round to Mack Glasby from Brainerd/Pillager. For Lakeville North, Zach Goldberg finished in fourth place at 125. Anton Kalista was sixth at 160.

Panthers earn a spot at state, again In a repeat of last year’s game, Lakeville North defeats Lakeville South 2-1 in triple overtime in the Section 1AA final by Andy Rogers THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

No matter what happens in the regular season, the Lakeville North boys hockey team seems to find a way to play in the state tournament. The Panthers will be making their second consecutive trip to state and their sixth overall (three as Lakeville High School) since 2002. “I’m pumped,” North goalie Charlie Lindgren said. “Last year, was the best time of my life.” The Panthers went 0-2 at state in 2010, dropping their all-time state record to 1-10, which is something they would like to improve this weekend. “A lot of people say (the team that) comes from 1AA doesn’t have a chance,” junior forward Blake Winiecki said. “We’d like to prove them wrong.” Three weeks ago, qualifying for the state tournament looked like wishful thinking. The team lost 10 of 15 games since Jan. 1. “We realized we had to step it up,” senior forward Ben Counters said. “If we didn’t, our season was going

to be over really quick. We love the game so much that we couldn’t let that happen.” The Panthers have won four in a row since then. In the Section 1AA tournament, North beat Owatonna, 7-1, and Rochester Century, 7-0. In the final, the Panthers upset top-seeded Lakeville South, 2-1, in triple overtime Friday in Rochester. Winiecki broke a 1-1 tie that lasted almost two hours. “We knew we were wearing them down tonight,” Winiecki said. “We just kept telling everybody ‘keep shooting.’ I came down from the left side and wrapped (the puck) around. I don’t know how it went in, but I’m glad it did.” A big reason for the turnaround was getting Lindgren healthy. He had 51 saves in the win, including 40 in regulation. “Everyone played their hearts out tonight,” Lindgren said. “It was my favorite game I’ve ever played in.” Winiecki scored North’s first goal off a power play in the first period. In the second period, South outshot the Panthers 15-2, while

North spent several minutes trying to kill the power play. South evened the score with a shot by Drew Brevig, who was assisted by Alex Harvey. The Panthers found an extra gear in overtime, outshooting the Cougars 17-11. “There was such a flow of emotions that was going throughout the whole game,” Counters said. “In the end it turned out to be a great game. I feel great. I love everybody.” Lakeville South goalie Brady Frahm had 33 saves in the loss. The Cougars had beaten the Panthers twice earlier in the season by a combined score of 13-2, but North was able to put it all behind them. Last season, Lakeville North upset the Cougars in the section final as well. Coming in as the lower seed, North won 5-0. “Like anybody, we got better and better as the season went on,” head coach Randy Schmitz said. “I think (we) were confident after what happened last year. The regular season is over. This is a one-game series. The winner gets to go on. You can’t

third-straight playoff loss to Lakeville North since winning the Section 1AA title against the Panthers in 2008. Andy Rogers is at andy.rogers@ecm-inc.com.

Farmington council meets without staff Discussion centers on strategic planning by Laura Adelmann THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Farmington City Council met in a five-hour retreat Thursday without staff. The board retreat, which was open to the public, took place after this edition went to press, and had been planned for weeks. Each council member was to have presented three topics for

discussion. Prior to the meeting, the primary issue Farmington Mayor Todd Larson said he would raise is economic development strategies. “It’s time to move forward. One of the big things lacking in this city is commercial retail and industrial, and we need to figure out how to get more,� Larson said. He explained the council wanted to meet alone so members can discuss ideas without being influenced by city staff.

“We want to get our ideas on paper and then we’ll review them with staff,� Larson said. The council and city staff will meet together at 9 a.m. March 19 at the city’s maintenance facility, 19650 Municipal Drive, to review the ideas. That meeting is also open to the public. Look for updates on this story at ThisweekLive.com. Laura Adelmann is at laura. adelmann@ecm-inc.com.

Thisweekend Art Fete shines the spotlight on local artists Burnsville Visual Arts Society’s annual exhibit runs through April 16 in the gallery of the PAC by Andrew Miller THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Richard Mittelstadt says he anguished over which of his paintings to submit to Art Fete, the annual art show of the Burnsville Visual Arts Society. Each BVAS member is allowed to submit one work of art to the exhibit, and Mittelstadt found himself giving the eagle-eye to more than 70 of his own paintings to zero in on just the right one. “I had one picked out, then I had second thoughts, then I asked my daughter,� said the retired Rosemount High School art teacher who now serves as BVAS trea-

surer. “I value my daughter’s opinion.� Mittelstadt settled on “Cosmic Experience II,� an abstract work featuring psychedelic bursts of color. It’s a painting with an interesting history. “It’s actually a painting on top of another painting,� he explained. “I looked over that (first) painting, took it to my table, turned the music up and just started destroying it.� Not all BVAS members found themselves torturously ruminating over what to submit to Art Fete, which opened this week and runs through April 16 in the “Alchemy Art Up-cycled� (left) by Nancye Williams of Burnsville and “Cosmic Experience II� (above) by Richard Mittelstadt of Prior Lake are among the more than 70 works of art created by Burnsville Visual Arts Society members that are featured at Art Fete.

Those who’ve attended T hose ho se w ho’v ho o’ve ve at att tended ded de ed past Art Fetes will notice some new features this year. A bigger grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council ($5,000 for Art Fete 2011, compared with $2,300 last year), allowed organizers to add Braille artist labels beside each work of art, a Braille book of artist statements, and an audio recording describing each piece which visitors can request when they enter the exhibit. “Overall, it makes the show more accessible to people with visual disability,� said Alejandra Pelinka, BVAS president and Art Fete chair. “Our goal has always been to make it as accessible as possible to the community.� In addition to the community-friendly features, the additional grant money also allowed for bigger cash awards for the winning artists. “We’ve been able to double the amount given out for each award,� Pelinka said. “It’s showing our support for the artists – being an artist is not an easy profession, and it’s not lucrative.� A first-place showing this year will garner about $150, compared with $75 last year, she explained. Most of the artwork at Art Fete is for sale, and can be purchased by contacting the Burnsville PAC at (952) 895-4685. More about Art Fete is at www.burnsvillepac.com.

the best corners in that area,� she said. Peterson has been trying to develop a site across Holyoke from the former police station, but the residential/office zoning (and the market) have made that difficult. She said CVS Pharmacy had looked into her site, but some adjacent landowners would not sell the three parcels needed to fill out the site. So the “location, location, location� mantra applies but caveats abound. Peterson speculated about what (or who) could use the building if it were sold. She said if the city changed the zoning from public/institutional, it could be an office building. Given the location, it could survive as a retail site. The problems would be the building itself and parking located behind the building, which is not typical for retail sites. Peterson said when the district investigated the location as a possible site for Community Education, the age and previous use of the building made it hard to repurpose; the cost would have been prohibitive. Whoever purchased the building, she said, would be better off “razing it and starting over.�

Seniors and history Both the senior center and LAHS occupy aging and, as some say, inadequate facilities. LAHS currently calls home the former All Saints Catholic

Bellows said at the March 7 council meeting that in addition to the former police station’s inability to serve a growing population in a 38-square-mile city, that the council should consider what constitutes “core services.� He said that with two new senior housing facilities coming to town, faith communities always ready to serve seniors and Crystal Lake Elementary opening up for community education purposes, perhaps those entities are better poised than the city for taking care of seniors’ needs. Debates about Lakeville city government’s prerogatives are far from over and will persist as the new council ventures to perfect the science of fiscal responsibility. Bob Erickson, Lakeville’s former city administrator and current school board member, spoke during public comment at the March 7 council meeting about the importance of collaboration and its effects on returning Lakeville to its competitive edge in the south metro. “It’s OK that everyone has a level of individual opinions,� Erickson told the council, “but we need unity.� That unity, he said, could guide the city through its philosophical self-assessment.

Church rectory (the church itself is now the Lakeville Area Arts Center). The building, which was built in the 1930s originally as a convent and then used as a priest’s home, is not a very accommodating public space, said LAHS treasurer Wally Potter at a City Council work session in January. “To get to the presentation room, you have to go up a steep staircase,� Potter said. He added the facility has “structural problems. There’s flooding when it rains heavily.� The current senior center has gone from “potlucks and card tables to 210 programs a month,� said coordinator Linda Walter at the work session. Currently, more than 1,000 people are members. Space constrictions abound, she said, to the point where interruptions are often inevitable. As the elderly population expands, the discernible need for senior citizen programming will expand. Membership in the senior center could grow well-beyond those already tight quarters As for the former police station serving as a joint-campus for the senior center and LAHS, Bellows does not see it. “I think the building is inadequate for your needs,� he said at the March 7 council meeting. But who should provide those services? “The question that will be long-term is if we should have a senior center at all,� said City Administrator Steve Mielke at the work session.

since then, sales have just crept up year after year,â€? Jermusek said. He said there has already been about 15 to 20 inquiries in the property since it was listed at the end of February. Jermusek said he doesn’t expect the sale to be complete until summer, when a prospective buyer can see the grounds without snow cover. Jermusek added that commercial property sales have rebounded lately, and noted that Hillcrest Golf Club in St. Paul recently sold for $4.3 million. Although Jermusek would not make golf sales amounts or banquet figures public, he described them as strong, and said Newman is a hands-on owner who has had a lot of success with running profitable courses. “His courses typically run at a very high profit level ‌ He has other investments, and he is just trying to slow down a little bit,â€?

of sealcoating, but Mayor Todd Larson disagreed. He said they can reconsider various funding methods in the future. The council will determine the amount of the levy for sealcoating after future engineering workshop meetings are held.

ďż˝ ďż˝

After months of heated debate, Farmington Council members dismissed on Monday the option of funding road maintenance work with franchise fees. Only Council Member Christy Jo Fogarty voted against Council Member Julie May’s motion to fund sealcoating with levy and possibly assessments, as the city has done for years. Fogarty said the budget item could be a target for future councils looking to slash the budget to avoid raising taxes. Franchise fees, she argued, would ensure that even tax exempt properties, like the schools, would pay for road maintenance. But the rest of the board sided with residents, who have consistently spoken out against franchise fees in public meetings during the last few months. Concerns have ranged from allowing non-elected officials to collect taxes to concerns that utilities have nothing to do with road work. Just before the vote, several residents cited concerns that utility companies are able to raise rates for cities

that impose franchise fees, a fact confirmed by Farmington Attorney Joel Jamnik. Farmington Engineer Kevin Schorzman had argued for the franchise fees so the city could collect the fees up front and avoid adding temporary bond debt to pay the up-front costs until tax payments come in. Fogarty predicted the decision would mark the end
