Lexington mayor resigns effective Sept. 30

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LEXINGTON — Following nearly five years in office, the mayor of Lexington has announced his plans to resign from the position.

Mayor Mark Kurth fi rst announced his plans to resign at a City Council work session last month. His last meeting will be Sept. 19 and his resignation will be effective Sept. 30. Kurth said he had to resign, after his decision to relocate to

Blaine.

“There wasn't one house for sale in Lexington,” he said. Kurth didn't move too far away, however, as he is still close enough to remain on the Lexington Fire Department (LFD).

Kurth was elected in November 2014 and took office in January 2015. He has lived in Lexington since 2007 and has served as a member of the LFD since May 2008. Since 2015, he has served as the Lexington Fire Relief Association’s gambling manager.

One of the city's accomplishments that

Kurth is proud of is the restoration of professionalism on the council. “We were all able to work together professionally,” he said. “We didn't always agree, but we respected everyone's opinion. We were able to work through it and compromise for the betterment of the city.”

The council's mindset has also changed, he noted. “I look at the way city was run and the people that were on the board when I first moved in, and I see how Mark Kurth

New public works facility discussion continues

This blue heron, along with many others, was spotted near the Peltier Lake Dam in Centerville last week.

LINO LAKES — Whether the city should construct a new public works facility was the main topic of discussion at the Sept. 3 City Council work session.

The agenda item has been discussed by the council various times since CNH Architects presented an updated Public Works Site Analysis and Space Needs Study in April 2017. The existing public works building, located at 1189 Main St., was built in 1971.

Financial adviser Paul Steinman, from Baker Tilly, visited the council to explain the city's authority to issue bonds for the project, the types of bonds it could consider issuing and the potential impact the project could have on the city's levy. Finance Director Sarah Cotton explained that the purpose of the conversation was to simply continue the discussion on the topic. She noted that although the $6 million project cost and construction in 2021 was used to provide the council with some examples, the project scope and timing could be adjusted. She also clarified that the $6 million would not include soft costs — that is, costs that are not directly related to facility construction — and that after financing the total cost would likely be closer to $8 million.

Two types of bonds could be used for a new public works facility, including capital improvement plan (CIP) bonds and lease revenue bonds, Steinman SEE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY, PAGE 9

Reflecting on Sept. 11, 18 years later Remembering Sept. 11, the Quad Community Press asked its followers on Facebook what they were doing on Sept. 11, 2001.

Here are some of the responses:

Peggy Mikacevich “I was at work in the law office I worked for and we heard the news on the radio and then we all went into the library to watch it on the TV.”

Jessica Crotty “Senior year of college at UWRF, heard the news as I was going from one class to the next.”

Lisa Rames Sellner

Tracey Anderson

Michelle Moore Rademacher “I remember the morning of 9/11/01 being a busy one with Paul on travel and the girls being 3 and 1.

It was Carly’s first day of Montessori school so I had double drop-off and was very focused on that. When I dropped Erin at day care I remember a dad dressed in a UPS uniform telling me about the plane hitting the tower and I could not get my head around that it was on purpose.

Then began the realization that Paul was on the East Coast and due to fly home that day out of Logan airport in Boston. Some very stressful moments until I reached him. His VP called to tell me they were trying to locate everyone and get them home safely. Once I reached him, I told him to keep his rental car and faxed him directions home. He still thought he would be able to fly home, just not out of Boston. Once he and his colleague realized they would not be flying anytime soon, they grabbed pillows and blankets from the hotel and drove straight through 24 hours home. Their route took them across the Washington bridge in NYC. Paul said he will never forget the electrical smell driving through NYC. Let us never forget and continue to pray for all those affected and make it a point to act with kindness towards each other today and every day.”

“Taking my granddaughter to my mom’s. Listening to radio and the news was on, and I was thinking is this fake, or was it Burl Ives who did something on the radio a long time ago? Walking into my mom’s house and asking is this real?”

“Driving to work when the first one hit and everyone thought it was an accident. By the time I walked into the office and into a meeting, someone told us about the second tower and Pentagon and we started to understand that this was no accident. Surreal.”

Summer vacation

W

ith school fast approaching we took advantage of cheap airfare and booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to San Francisco for a long weekend in August. Amy and I had been there before, but it was the first time with our kids. We stayed in the Fisherman’s Wharf area, which was a good landing spot for getting around the city.

Our first day we hopped on a historic cable car to explore Union Square and Chinatown. We walked Lombard Street, Ghirardelli Square and watched the sea lions and street performers at Pier 39. We had hoped to go to Alcatraz, which is operated under a contract granted by the National Park Service, but learned that we would have had to book the tour 45-60 days in advance. They no longer even fill last-minute spots for no-shows.

The next day we rented bikes and rode across the Golden Gate bridge.

Publisher’s The guy at the rental place suggested that we ride into the little town of View Sausalito on the other side of the Carter Johnson bridge for lunch. From there we could either ride back or hop on a ferry with our bikes. The ride across the bridge was pretty treacherous due to construction and the number of inexperienced tourists riding bikes along a two-way, narrow path; it is a bit challenging as the start has a good hill climb to the bridge.

The rest of the trip is primarily downhill. The wind and fog can be damp and brisk. For those reasons, we opted to take the ferry back across the Bay. On day three we rented a car and drove up to Sonoma County and stayed for two nights along the coast in Bodega Bay. We walked the beach, toured a sustainable vineyard, and hiked through the giant redwoods at Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve – free admission unlike the more popular National Park Muir Woods, and, in my opinion, it was better, as we walked into a nearly silent forest. The Redwoods can live to 2,000 years and stand 379.3 feet tall - the world tallest living thing. While the area is known for farming and is best known for wine production, we especially enjoyed the local restaurants, bakeries and side of the road cafes.

A couple of things to keep in mind when planning a summer trip to the San Francisco area. Plan ahead and bring warm layers like sweatshirts or jackets. The fog hovers over the city and along the coast and it can be cool. Consider renting electric scooters or bikes to get around and better navigate the steep hills. For us, the trip provided the family togetherness we needed at the end of a summer where everyone seemed to go different directions.

Honey Last year I wrote about learning how to become a beekeeper. Our family has had help from countless friends and neighbors in our beekeeping endeavor.

It has been an interesting new hobby. My daughter, son and a neighbor have been involved with me and each of us has been stung a few times. Our first season was exciting because of so many unknowns. As fall approached last year it was clear the bees didn’t produce any honey, which was disappointing. We gave it another try this spring and bought two nuc (starter bee set of four frames of bees and a queen).

This past weekend another beekeeping friend and I spun our frames and my family ended up with three gallons or about 36 pounds. If you’re looking to take on a new hobby or helping out your gardens, try your hand at beekeeping. Round up a few friends or neighbors, find a mentor, look for used equipment and start your hives in the spring of 2020. I can envision where keeping bees could become like community gardens within neighborhoods. Remember to check with your local municipality to make sure bees are legal in your area, and invest in a good beekeeper’s suit. A beekeeping friend reminds me of her great mentor Winnie the Pooh, who says, “You never can tell with bees.” The reward, though, is sweet.

Survey: Local newspapers top choice for election information Community newspapers are the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office and community newspaper readers are more likely to be voters, according to a survey from the National Newspaper Association (NNA).

The survey polled more than 1,000 people from urban and rural communities across the country and found that 85% of community newspaper readers said they are “very

likely” to vote in upcoming elections, compared to 73% of nonreaders.

Respondents also rated community newspapers as the most trusted source of information about candidates running for public office, whether on the local, state or federal level. On a scale of 1-10 (with “1” meaning completely untrustworthy and “10” being completely trustworthy), community newspapers received an average of 5.77

overall and an average of 6.23 among readers, the highest of all other information mediums.

Ratings for other sources are as follows: • National network TV news – 5.13 • Cable TV news shows – 4.60 • Talk or satellite radio programs – 4.31 • Metropolitan newspapers that cover major cities and suburbs – 4.29

• Direct mailings from candidates and/or political parties – 3.73 • Facebook and/or Twitter – 2.92 “Overall, great news for local community newspapers,” NNA Vice President Matt Adelman told PubAux. “(The results) show Facebook and even direct mail have far less impact and readership than the political consultants insist, especially on the trustworthy scale where our newspapers rank

OBITUARY LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Parents need to stand up for kids

Parents historically have been the protectors and primary teachers of their children, especially when it comes to teaching morality and sexuality.

Sadly, that is rapidly changing and our kids' innocence, along with parental rights, are being threatened more each day.

To know what I mean, look no further than the passage of the Comprehensive Sex Ed bill last legislative session in the Minnesota House of Representatives. The bill, HF1414, requires all preK-12 public and charter schools to teach

your kids that they can have any kind of sex, anywhere, anytime, with anyone, at any age.

It normalizes all kinds of sexual behavior.

Most people would agree that this does not lead to fulfilling relationships and lasting happiness, not to mention the moral formation of the students. It certainly doesn't allow for kids to remain kids and parents won't know what was taught unless they join their kids in the classroom. Opting out is too little, too late.

In 2016, California passed a similar law and parents are now battling their schools to keep their kids

from being harmed.

Once it passes, it will be very difficult to shield your kids from these anything-goes teachings. Is this what we want in Minnesota too?

There is a way to fight back, however. Attend the Protect Kids Rally on Sunday, Sept. 22, at 1:30 p.m. at the state Capitol. Also, call your legislators and tell them you don't want them to support this bill, which will be back in 2020.

It's up to us parents to keep our kids safe from harm. If you don't stand up to protect them, who will?

Beat up but not beaten: Cougars fend off Champlin 21-20

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial defense had five starters and six backups on the field for the play that would decide the outcome of the game against Champlin Park on Friday night.

With no time remaining, one of the first-teamers still in action, Jake Pierson, made the game-saving hit on an attempted two-point conversion. The senior safety tackled Edmund Ocansey a yard short of the end zone on a screen pass.

The host Cougars (2-1), wearing new all-black uniforms for the first time, knocked off No. 8 ranked Champlin Park 21-20. The Rebels (2-1) had scored on a 31-yard pass from Jaice Miller to Dom Witt as time ran out, and elected to go for the win.

“We are pretty thin all over on defense, but the kids played really hard and got through it,” coach Mike Diggins said. “We found out that we are a blue collar team that will fight you to the end. They went for two, and Pierson made one of the best plays I’ve ever seen.”

Pierson also contributed a defensive touchdown with an interception and 43-yard return in the third quarter.

Quarterback Connor Zulk dashed 45 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. The Cougars took a 21-14 lead with

1:30 left on Noah Larson’s threeyard run and Ricky Hemric’s third conversion kick.

But it was a rough night, for both sides. There were two halfhour delays in the first half, for injured players to be taken away via ambulance — defensive tackle Isaiah Bettinger of the Cougars with a stinger in his neck, and the Rebels’ Eric Bryant (concussion). Diggins said it was “precautionary” with Bettinger and he should be back after missing one game.

The first half lasted so long that the players needed to be fed at halftime. The Cougar booster club came through, Diggins said, providing Gatorade and granola bars for both teams. The

game’s tense conclusion didn’t come until almost 11 p.m.

Centennial also lost one of its best defenders, outside linebacker Casey Coppersmith, with a torn ACL late in the game, a season-ending injury, said the coach. Sidelined with injuries the first two weeks are safety Zach Osmek (knee), linemen Blake Puta (knee) and Nate Erichsrud (foot) and linebacker Brandon Davis (knee).

“We are running on fumes with our defense,” Diggins said.

“It’s pretty rough right now. The injuries really put kind of a sour taste in the win. You hate to see kids get hurt … I’ve never seen

injuries like this in my 10 years as head coach. Two a game so far.”

Along with Pierson, Diggins cited linebackers Garret Strating and Brandon Ruikka for strong games against a potent Champlin offense, adding that backup D-linemen pressed into action have been stepping up.

Offensively, the Cougars’ biggest threat is usually Zulk throwing to Carter Anderson, but Zulk was only 1-for-6 against Champlin. The lone completion was a big play, a screen to Anderson, from their own twoyard line, that gained 45 yards.

Diggins explained that the Cougars wanted to try control

the ball with the ground game and keep Champlin Park’s excellent offense off the field. On this night, Zulk propelled the Cougars with his legs, gaining 118 yards in 22 carries. Larson added 53 in 10 carries, and Tim O’Neill 16 in four carries.

Champlin Park’s first two touchdowns were runs by Brock Johnson (11 yards) and Noah Vogelpohl (15 yards).

Looking ahead, Diggins said the Cougars will need some players to double up (play both offense and defense) and likely some sophomores will be called up.

The Cougars will travel to Totino-Grace (2-1) on Friday evening.

Cougar boys soccer nabs 3 shutout wins

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Ricky Hemric Ricky Hemric, Centennial’s third-year soccer goalie, anchored three shutouts this past week, over Spring Lake Park 5-0, Osseo 3-0 and Champlin Park 1-0. While the Cougars defense does not permit many shots, Hemric has proven difficult to beat when opponents get their chances. The 5-8, 150-pound junior stopped a penalty kick in the 1-0 win. “He is tough, intelligent, very quick and super athletic,” coach Jeff Ottosen said. “He has grown tremendously in skills this year.”

Hemric also kicks extra points for the football team — he’s 9-for-9 so far this year — and is a captain and guard on the basketball team.

played games we’ve had in my 20 years coaching.” The Cougars allowed zero shots on goal and disrupted all but three passes by the Orioles.

Meanwhile, the Cougars peppered Osseo with 21 shots on goal. Osseo goalie Kyle Goettsche was solid, but Will Miers, Parker Claseman and Demetrius Bernardy-Nelson each got one past him.

Against Champlin Park (3-2), Barnardy-Nelson drilled the lone goal, from 25 yards, in the first half, off a leftfooted feed from Miers.

Scoring against Spring Lake Park (07) were Bernardy-Nelson (two), GalvinGarcia, Isaac Nowacki, and Elmer Pedraza. Miers made three assists.

Centennial volley team (8-2) clips Cardinals Centennial volleyball won its lone match last week over Coon Rapids 25-22, 25-21, 25-14 on Thursday, improving to 8-2. Ashley Crowl uncorked 16 kills and Sydney Petersen 12, while Natalie Jones had her best game with six kills in nine attempts. Jadyn Clarner provided 32 assists and two aces. Mackenzie McDonald notched 15 digs and two aces.

It was a three-victory week, all by shutout, for the Centennial boys soccer team, on the heels of a humbling defeat the week before.

“When we lost to Park Center, that was a wake-up call,” coach Jeff Ottosen said, referring to a 2-0 setback against the much-improved Pirates (5-1) on Sept. 5.

“That was a clunker. Last year, we beat them 7-2 after leading 7-0. This time, Park Center worked really hard

and we weren’t ready for that. We told the kids, you just got outworked.”

Last week, the Cougars (4-2) blanked Spring Lake Park 5-0, Osseo 3-0 on Thursday and Champlin Park 1-0 on Saturday.

The Cougars’ stellar defense has been led by veterans Nick Valento and Jesus Galvin-Garcia, the coach said, adding that Aaron Breen, recently moved to a new position, has been handling it well. Ricky Hemric mans the nets. He stopped a penalty kick in the 1-0 win.

PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY: Council weighs financing options FROM PAGE 1

explained. Although CIP bonds do not require voter approval, a 30-day reverse referendum provision would be in effect. That means the council would be required to hold a public hearing on its CIP plan, and if a petition against the project is received within 30 days with signatures that total 5% or more of the city voters who cast a vote in the last general election, then the issue would be forced to go on the ballot.

Lease revenue bonds were used when the city financed Fire Station No. 2. Steinman explained lease bonds can be used for a broad purpose, do

not require voter approval and are not subject to the reverse referendum provision. The drawback, however, is the bonds have higher interest rates and are more expensive to issue. In addition, there are a lot of requirements. “It is far more involved. It is more like a real estate transaction,” Steinman explained. “The EDA leases land from the city, sells the bonds and builds the facility. Then the EDA leases it to the city, the city appropriates money in its budget every year to pay that lease, which is equal to the debt service.”

Mayor Jeff Reinert said, “If we spend $13 million, the grass doesn't get cut better, the roads

don't get plowed better, the trees aren't getting trimmed better, (public works employees) are still doing everything the same, except we just spent $13 million.

But what we do get, and what we can all agree on, is we do need to protect the investments that we have and the equipment.” The $13 million refers the top end of the range for project cost that CNH Architects presented back in 2017.

“We need to think about the concept of a public works building, what is it we are buying, why are we buying it and can we afford it right now in this stage where our city is at ... Should we go and spend $8 million and put up a building,

or is $8 million better spent repairing roads and giving the residents something that they can actually see?” Reinert said.

The mayor said he would support the idea of moving equipment indoors that is currently stored outside and making improvements to the mechanics/repair bay.

Councilwoman Melissa Maher said, “We have all these vehicles that sit outside, and yes, I think they need to be protected, but I honestly do not understand why we can't just build a couple of big pole barns and get them out of the elements. They don't need luxury accommodations.”

She added, “The building is

gross. We do need to do something about it. I think that a new facility might make the grass get cut better because when people are happier at work, they do a better job, but I am concerned about the cost of this and future levies.”

City Administrator Jeff Karlson asked the council for some direction for his staff on where to go from here. Reinert and Councilman Michael Manthey both agreed the scope of the project still needs to be defined further.

Youthway Center volunteer dubbed ‘Great Neighbor’

Renee Dietz (right), an early childhood special education lead teacher at Rice Lake Elementary, nominated Rosie Greip for the award.

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

BLAINE — Over 200,000 neighborhoods across the U.S. were asked to nominate those who have made a positive difference for the Great Neighbor Award, and an area volunteer made the top five.

Rosie Griep, a resident of New Brighton, has volunteered with Youthway Ministries since February 2014. Youthway Ministries is a nonprofit faith-based ministry that operates the Youth Center located in the Centennial Square Manufactured Home Community in Blaine.

Nextdoor, the neighborhood social network, teamed up with the new comedy “The Neighborhood” on CBS to celebrate amazing neighbors across the country with “The Great Neighbor Shout-Out.” Nextdoor asked neighbors to nominate those who have made a positive difference. In June, neighbors across America voted for who they believed deserved to win the Great Neighbor Shout-Out, and Greip was among the five winning finalists. As a top five finalist, Griep received a plaque and neighborhood block party Friday, Sept. 6.

“I was totally dumbstruck. I was blown away completely,” Griep said.

“The last week of school I was thinking, ‘Do I really want to do this (volunteer) anymore?’ Talk about an affirmation from God saying ‘stay here!’ This is where I want to be.”

Although Griep is a resident of New Brighton, she is familiar with the Quad area because she spent 17 years working as a crime prevention specialist with the Blaine Police Department (BPD). Five and a half years ago she was looking online for a faith-based after school program and stumbled upon Youthway

Ministries.

Initially she thought she would show up and do some “fluffy stuff” such as playing a game or doing a craft, but she quickly realized that Youthway was in dire need of a volunteer who would stick around for awhile. “There was such a high turnover of staff ... so I stayed to give some consistency,” she said. “A lot of the kids have people in and out of their lives on a frequent basis, (so) to be that stabilizing force and just love them for who they are: that's the best thing I can offer them.”

Her training through BPD really prepared her for tough situations. “I have children who have disclosed things to me at the end of the program and nothing they tell me is going to scare me off,” she said.

Monday through Thursday, Griep spends her time with youth. In the afternoons, she visits Blaine Senior High School and Roosevelt Middle School to collect leftover school lunches so youth and community members can have hot meals after school is out. “We try to recover as much food as we can so it doesn't go to the dump,” she explained.

Griep also organizes a youth volunteer team that goes out into the community to do a variety of service projects.

Renee Dietz, an early childhood special education lead teacher at Rice Lake Elementary, nominated Greip for the award. The two met through Youthway; Dietz is also on the board of directors for the area YMCA, which has a partnership with Youthway Ministries.

“Rosie's commitment to this program is phenomenal. Forest Gregory began the Youthway initiative and he does the day-to-day operations, but Rosie is the one that makes the relationships with the kids and makes the commitment to build those relationships. No matter

where they are in their life, she is there for them,” Dietz said. “I have seen the kids grow up under her leadership, from elementary kids, to pre-teens, to teenagers, and she has been able to help guide their values. She does it because she loves it.”

Griep said, “Some days you feel like you are totally invisible and unappreciated. It is nice to see you are really making an impact. You never

really see the seeds you have planted or the fruit that you have nurtured, so it is nice to know that somebody noticed.”

Youthway Ministries is always in need of more volunteers like Griep. For more information, visit youthwayministries. org.

Our history includes four generations of single family ownership, and multiple locations in St. Paul, Minnesota and its suburbs - stretching back for well over one hundred years. Many families we work with share our roots in the Frogtown neighborhood and made their way to the suburbs as we have. We are honored and humbled to have worked with many families for generation after generation.

“Dedicated to an understanding and sympathetic service performed with true dignity and reverence - marked by its simplicity and beauty - honoring the departed - comforting those who remain.”

- From the announcement of the opening of the new Charles H. Mueller Funeral Chapel, 1935

GOURDS Gourds are essentially ornamental squashes; they aren’t cultivated for eating. Instead they are bred to look beautiful and unique in autumn centerpieces. Types of gourds include autumn wing gourd, warted gourds, turban gourds, and bottle gourds. Each gourd is unique in its shape and color.

PUMPKINS Pumpkins come in ornamental and edible varieties. Even though all pumpkins can be consumed, some taste better than others. Small pumpkins tend to be decorative because, according to Nutritious Life, they do not have enough meat inside to make them worthy of cooking.

However, sugar pumpkins are best for baking and cooking favorite recipes, states the resource Pumpkin Nook.

Halloween takes place during a time of year characterized by earthen-colored chrysanthemums, leaf-lined walkways and crisp autumn air. As colorful as the costumes children wear for trick-ortreating may be, nature’s beauty is unsurpassed this time of year, and the scores of pumpkins, gourds and squashes on display only add to that colorful melange.

The Cucurbitaceae family may be best known for pumpkins, squash and gourds, but there actually are 800 species that belong to this family.

Autumn is a prime time to tend lawns and gardens Autumn is gardening season.

That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden HUK LUZ\YL [OH[ ÅV^LYZ [YLLZ and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

Rake and compost Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile.

Plant spring bulbs Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat.

In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year.

Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall: Pamper perennials As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they JHU IL LHZPS` PKLU[PÄLK SH[LY VU This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be overlooked or covered over.

Prune shrubs Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood.

Clean up borders Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging.

Dig up herbs Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter.

Consider mums Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall.

Fertilize the lawn Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter.

Mums are perennials. When properly planted and cared for, they can bloom every autumn.

Install pavers or rock wall Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway.

Remove spent summer veggies Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas.

Add mulch and compost to the garden Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting.

Prune hedges Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year.

Clean and store equipment Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter.

LEXINGTON MAYOR: Resigns after nearly 5 years of service FROM PAGE 1

things are done today, and it is not even comparable,” he recalled.

“The city in so much of a better position than it was 10 years ago. It used to be the mindset, ‘Well, that's just the way we have always done it, so that's the way it's always going to be,’ and I wanted to change that philosophy.”

The city has also saved taxpayers money, he said.

“We passed a 0% tax levy last year because of the decisions we made,” he said.

“Was everyone happy with the decisions? No, but the one thing I have learned is that it doesn't matter what decision you make, you are not going to make everybody happy.”

For the past four out of five years, the city's police budget has also decreased.

Other accomplishments to note, Kurth said, include:

• Starting the city's Fall Festival.

• Reopening the city's ice rink without the use of taxpayer dollars.

• Putting up Ephesians Apartments, the Landings of Lexington and the consideration

of a new proposal for The Lofts of Lexington behind Festival Foods.

• Keeping the roads in good shape.

• Remodeling the fi re department without the use of taxpayer dollars.

• Attracting new businesses to the city, including Broadview Builders, Boulevard Bar & Grill and Gracepoint Dental Office.

• Making the municipal liquor store profitable again.

That list of accomplishments would not have been possible without the other council members and city staff, Kurth said. He praised City Administrator Bill Petracek, Finance Director Chris Galiov, Deputy City Clerk Mary Vinzant and public works staff members Jim Fischer and Travis Schmid.

“It takes a team effort. All of the movement forward would not have been possible without city staff. It isn't all me. I am one vote; it takes a majority, and none of this wouldn't have happened without the City Council having a vision that matched mine,” Kurth explained.

“If I wanted all of this

development to go on and all of these changes, but none of the other council members wanted it to happen, it's not going to happen.”

On Oct. 1, Councilman John Hughes will take over as vice mayor. The council will then decide together who should fi ll Kurth's seat until his term expires Dec. 31, 2020. Petracek said that will likely happen in October or November.

“Mayor Kurth has provided outstanding leadership to the city of Lexington over the past four and three-quarter years. His resignation is a tremendous loss to this community, and he will be missed,” Petracek said.

“Thankfully, he will continue to maintain his status on the fi re department as a fi refighter and the fi re relief association as the gambling manager for the charitable gambling organization.”

Kurth hopes the city of Lexington can continue to move forward. “Whoever fi lls the council position, whoever runs in the future, I hope they have a vision for the city and not just run on a personal agenda,” he said. “Right now, the people that we have there don't have a personal agenda.

FILE | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Lexington City Administrator Bill Petracek officially swears in Mark Kurth as mayor Jan. 5, 2015.

They want to represent the city as a whole and make decisions that are best for the entire city.”

LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lexington City Council took the following action at its Sept. 5 meeting: • Heard from Lino Lakes resident Craig Johnson, who is running for the District 6 Anoka County Commissioner seat. “I want to thank Rhonda Sivarajah for all she has done. Her shoes are not going to be easy to fi ll, but I'm confident I have the ability to work in the same manner with common-sense ideals and bring in some new insight as well,” he said.

• Heard from Councilman Mike Murphy, who shared the city's HD channel will be up and running by the end of the month. He added that residents will soon be able to stream the channel on Apple TV and Roku through a North Metro TV App. • Heard from City Administrator Bill Petracek, who announced the city received $8,500 in grant money for its upgrades to City Hall.

Petracek added that council and city staff have received plans for the proposed Lexington Lofts project, which includes a 355-unit, marketrate apartment complex behind Northway Mall. The goal is to hold a

public hearing for the project at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Oct. 8, he said.

• Approved a special event permit for Lexington Fire Relief Association's 11th annual Flash & Dash Color Splash Run Sept. 21.

• Approved new salaries effective Jan. 1, 2020 for the mayor and council.

The mayor's salary will be raised from $5,100 to $7,000 per year and the council's salary will increase from $4,200 to $6,000 per year. The council also approved salaries effective Jan. 1, 2020 for the Planning and Zoning Commission and Park Board at $100 per month for members and $125 per month for chairpersons. Both entities currently have a salary of $35 per month.

• Approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Lexington Lofts LLC. The agreement specifies the fees the developer will have to pay the city. Under the MOU, Lexington Lofts LLC will pay $250,000 for the purchase of the property and be required to invest a minimum of $84,840 in park improvements.

City Council Member Diane Harris said, “Would the city be open to having a consultant come in? We are one square mile with a lot of new high density here. I would like someone from the outside looking in to tell us how this could affect us long term and short term.”

Petracek explained the developer would not pay for that, and it would be up to the city to initiate the consultant process and come up with funds. He mentioned that if the council desired, it could consider adding that to a future city budget.

Councilman John Hughes explained if that was something the city desired, it should have done that before now.

• Approved an escrow agreement for $10,000 between the city of Lexington and Lexington Lofts LLC. The city of Lexington used the same process for the Ephesians at Lexington project. “As we incur costs for this development process, (the developer) has to pay for it and they have to give us money when we get behind in paying our consultants,” Petracek explained.
