Four co-ed volleyball teams make use of the new sand courts at JBs Tavern in Wanamingo. Twenty teams play in Monday and Thursday nights
leagues.
New sand volleyball courts at JBs Tavern

By Alicia Hunt-Welch
WANAMINGO Opened in
early June, the new sand volleyball courts and a large outdoor
deck at JBs Tavern in Wanamingo
have been a popular addition for
the local pub and eatery. The idea
for the expansion was a year in
the making.
In July 2014, bar owner Barney
Nesseth and property owner Merlin Ring applied for a deck and
fence permit with the city. Nesseth

purchased the vacant lot along
Railroad and Main Streets to construct the sand courts. The small
deck off JBs was removed and a
much larger one was built. Then
earlier this year the vacant lot was
prepared for the sand courts and
the area was enclosed with fencing, taking about one month to
complete. Nesseth said it was quite
the undertaking but well worth it,
as many customers now enjoy

hanging out on the patio. Its a
nice atmosphere out here, he said.
The tavern hosts volleyball
league play on Monday and Thursday nights, with thirteen co-ed
teams and seven womens teams
currently playing. Bar operator
Justin Nesseth organizes the schedule. He also plans to run a condensed volleyball schedule in the
fall. Next year the goal is to have
leagues playing four nights a week.

The courts are open to the public to use when leagues are not
running. Barney said on Friday
and Saturday nights people come
down and start playing. Some bring
their own ball. Others borrow a
volleyball from the bar with some
form of collateral.
The party room and courts may
also be reserved for private parties and events. Contact Justin at
the bar for more information.
ZUMBROTA Songs of Hope,

the concert tour resulting from a
six-week camp for children from
around the world performing the
music of their countries, stops in
Zumbrota for the fifth year in a
row, on Thursday, July 23, at 7
p.m. The free concert is at the State
Theatre. Crossings and the Zumbrota Area Arts Council are sponsoring the performance.
In addition to the concert, Songs
of Hope offers a free Drumming
Workshop for youth ages 7 to 16

then perform onstage at the concert during one song.
On the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the show will feature a lot of New Orleans music.
The event also showcases music
from countries large and small
mixed with U.S. songs chosen
because they offer perfect entertainment for a warm summers
night: folk, jazz, blues, rock n
roll, and much more. Music originating from participating childrens
homelands will be part of the show.
In the past, children have come
from Vietnam, China, India, Serbia,
Albania, Italy, Greece, Russia,
Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jamaica,
Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico,
and many other countries.

GOODHUE At the regular
Goodhue City Council meeting on
Wednesday July 8, Goodhue
School Superintendent Mike
Redmond said that the school has
retained a grant to increase
safety. He explained his plans to
change drop-off spots and temporary parking. It will include loading up to three buses on Sixth
Street. He asked the city to add a
section of sidewalk on both sides
of Third Avenue just north of Sixth
Street. The city approved funds
up to $1,500 for the project, to be
completed by August 14.

(SMIF) addressed the council.
SMIF works in twenty counties in
southeastern Minnesota, including Goodhue County, to help community foundations raise money

Goodhue re-organize the Goodhue

By 8:30 p.m. KFD had the fire

Children from many countries,

ages 9 to young adults, participate in Songs of Hope, a six-week
performing arts summer camp in
St. Paul. However, more than just
a performing arts camp, the nonprofit Songs of Hope offers participants a unique opportunity to
live in community with kids from
other cultures while learning and
performing music from many countries. Campers learn to look past
prejudices, misconceptions, and
newspaper headlines as they live,
sing and dance together. They practice six hours a day, six days a
week for six weeks. Then they
take these songs of peace, love,
and respect into neighboring communities in a celebration of cultural unity.
The whole company performs
every song, which means the performers from more than a dozen
countries will be singing in several languages that may be entirely new to them.
The Drumming Workshop takes
place 4:30-5:30 p.m. at East Park,
just up the street from the State
Theatre. Participants must call
Crossings to register, as space is
limited. Instruments will be provided for this introduction to some
simple but challenging percussion
rhythms from around the world,
taught by young musicians from
those places, on drums from their
homelands. After, participants may
perform onstage during one song
at the Songs of Hope concert.
A community picnic is in East
Park from 5:30-6:30 p.m., with
several churches contributing refreshments including grilled food,
salads and lemonade. Everyone is
welcome. Free will offerings will
be accepted.
These activities are made possible by the voters of Minnesota
through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a
legislative appropriation from the
arts and cultural heritage fund and
by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Notebook
Rascally rabbits
As
The Worm
Turns
By Jeanne Truestedt
When it comes to rabbits in the

garden, no mercy is shown in my
fanatical efforts to chase the
varmints into the neighbors yards:
shouting, barking, cap guns, power
hose and fox urine are all fair in
the war on bunnies. But winter
poses some serious problems as
ice and snow make it hazardous to
chase after the rascally rodents.
Its frustrating sitting indoors helplessly watching them devour trees
and shrubs as if they were at an
all-you-can-eat salad buffet. Fortunately, a lucky Dollar Store discovery tipped the scales back in
my favor by providing cunningly
quiet scare tactics.
A six-foot inflatable boa constrictor was just the thing to throw
on top of the snow to keep those

pesky pests from munching on the
more vulnerable trees and shrubs.
Blowing up six feet of plastic snake
was much more work than the instructions implied. I was winded
and lightheaded, but it took only a
slight toss to send it sliding across
the snow to nestle in at the base of
a prize shrub. It certainly worked
well from my vantage point on
the porchno nibble marks visible anywhere. The results were
so favorable that monitoring effectiveness eventually got lost
amidst the holidays. And when
snowfalls exceeded two feet, it
was forgotten for the rest of the
winter.
Somewhere around early April,
the sirens call of springtime lured
me back outdoors to check on how
things had survived the winter.
Eager to see which bulbs were
coming up in the woods, one likes
to poke, prod and wander from
patch to patch searching for bur-
ied treasures. Working my way

into the azaleas, I prowled from
one to another until something
made the snow covered leaves
shiver, then rise up from the forest floor like a nightcrawler on
steroids. Screaming in panic, my
leap across the azaleas was worthy of an Olympic gold medal.
But mid-scream my mind connected the dots well enough to
link rabbits to the snake and the
location of the protected bush
which Id just vaulted over. Sure
enough, Id managed to step on
the still-inflated snake which made
it rear upthus causing heart palpitations for both rascally rabbits
and gardener!
Fortunately, the rabbit population has now declined thanks in
part to the increase of cats and
raptors in the neighborhood. And,
thankfully, inflatable boa constrictors are no longer needed, wanted
or desired in the garden for personal health reasons.

Question #4: Take a moment to inspect the graph shown above. It

indicates the level of CO2 in the background atmosphere over the last
800,000 years. Be sure to note the very sharp spike at the very right
edge of the graph. This spike began about 160 years ago when our
CO2 level was 280 ppm and resulted in the current value of 400 ppm.
Note also the CO2 level had never previously exceeded 290 ppm
during the 800,000 year period shown. We also know, of course, that
the Industrial Age began about 160 years ago. From this date, would
you suspect that the recent surge in background CO2 levels to 400ppm

gases in our atmosphere provide an insulating layer or blanket around
the surfaces of the Earth. If you put on a heavier coat, do you think you

a) yes b) no c) I am not a physician
Peter Grimsruds interpretation of results:
The correct answer for each question is (a). If you answered (a), you
likely realize that climate change is real and poses a threat to the world
weve taken for granted since the Industrial Revolution.
If you answered (b or c) for any of the questions, you probably
mistrust science and/or have a Republican political agenda. Ironically, many Republicans who want to hold the education system
accountable by testing students and teachers are opposed to science.
Hopefully enough people who answered (a) will take up the challenge to combat climate change and those who close their eyes to the
truth. Leadership shown by the Pope and our scientific community
can help us preserve and provide a better way of life.

Goodhue County Pheasants Forever

wraps up another controlled burn season
The Goodhue County Pheasants
Forever Chapter recently completed one of its busiest burn seasons. The all volunteer crew completed nineteen burns covering
about 330 acres on area landowners grassland habitats. Controlled
burning is done to better maintain
the grasslands by recycling nutrients back into the soil, removing
thatch, and deterring the growth
of unwanted tree species and undesirable grass species.
Landowners enrolled in government conservation programs have
an obligation to do some type of
maintenance during the terms of
their contracts, and burning is often one of the most effective. Controlled burning mimics the effect
of wildfires that used to occur either naturally or intentionally
across the prairie landscape. Landowners are often amazed at the
growth of the prairie grasses following their first spring burn. Timing of burns can also affect the
presence of flowering forbs in the
grasslands, which are very impor-

Goodhue County Pheasants
Forever has been involved in controlled burning since 2003 and has
invested funds from their annual
fundraisers to equip itself and its
volunteers to ensure safer burns.
A majority of the burn crew is at
least 65 years old, with the oldest
being a 76-year-old retired fireman. Roughly half of the crew
holds DNR Wildland Firefighter
Certificates, which require a one
week training course.
This past winter, the burn crew
assisted another local conservation group, Hiawatha Land P.F.,

Obituaries
Jim Sumption 1925-2015
Burton Goranson 1949-2015
PASCO, WA Burton Burt

Stuart Goranson, 66, died at home
on Sunday, July 5, at 12:30 a.m.,
after an 11-year fight with pancreatic cancer.
He was born in Lake City on
March 9, 1949 to Burton and Garnet Goranson.
He grew up in Mazeppa, along
with his 12 other siblings. In high
school he played football and the
tuba, making halftime very interesting. He was a school bus driver
when he was 18 and shortly after
graduating enlisted in the Navy in
1968. He served four years, first
in Tennessee (where he did see
Elvis), then a majority on Whidbey
Island, Washington, as a reciprocating engine mechanic. While in
the service he started skydiving
and also earned his private pilot
license from his close friend, Bob
Porter. After his time in the Navy,
Burt attended Hutchinson Area
Vocational-Technical School.
After graduating he moved to the
Tri-Cities to work for Nortec in
the field of nondestructive testing. Soon after, a true friend, Dick
Terning, talked him into heading
to Iowa where he and friends taught
skydiving lessons for Aviation
Sports. Burt had over 650 jumps,
including a few into ball fields for
Fourth of July celebrations and a
few rodeos. This is where he met
his future wife, Nanette Slechta,
one of his students. Nan has 105
jumps. Burt and Nan were married August 7, 1976 in Sioux Falls,
South Dakota. He worked for
Culligan while Nan attended
school.
Burt and Nanette were married
for 38 years. They moved to Pasco,
Washington, in 1978 when Burt
returned to work in the nondestructive testing field at Nortec,
Stavely Instruments, Xactex Corp.,
and later UniWest, where he would
retire in April of 2015 after 38
years in the industry, ending his
career as vice-president of international sales. He was a proud
member of American Society of
Non-Destructive Testing and received many awards and honors.
He was very dedicated to his career, and took pride in his work. It
took him so long to retire because
he genuinely cared for his customers and their families, and enjoyed traveling globally for his
career.
Burt and Nan lived in the same
house for 36 years. This was the
base camp for many adventures,
including their three children, Jus-
tin, age 32, Anna, age 31 and Brad,

age 26. He was proud of his kids
and very proud grandpa.
Burt was a member of Central
United Protestant Church for 36
years and his faith in God was
very important to him and his family. Being loyal and dedicated to
church, he was a regular attendee
and contributor to the community
there when he wasnt camping with
Boy Scouts or traveling for work
or with family. He believed in living with integrity and honoring
God in everything he did, including building traditions. Praying
with his family at meal times was
an important part of this until the
very end.
Burts hobbies included elk hunting, flying his plane, spending time
with family, road trips to anywhere,
an attempt at fishing. He put his
passion for flying on hold for family
and Boy Scouts. Early in his marriage he also accomplished the feat
of climbing Mt. Rainier to the top.
Burt saved all his old photos
and clippings of his family when
they made it in the newspaper,
clippings from yearbooks, quotes
that he saved over the years. But
the most important are all the mushy
love letters from his girlfriend (future wife) in the early 70s.
Burt became Scout Master for
Pasco Boy Scout Troop 159 and
helped 39 boys become men and
earn their Eagle award, including
his two sons. Burt was too busy as
a young man to attain the rank of
Eagle Scout but received many
scouting awards as Scoutmaster
including Scoutmaster of the Year
twice, the James West Award, the
Pelican Award, and the Silver
Beaver Award. He was very proud
of Troop 159.
Burt was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent chemo, radiation and surgery. He blessed us all by beating
the odds.
He is survived by his wife,
Nanette; son, Justin (Jessica);
daughter, Anna (John) Hooser; and
son, Brad; grandchildren, Levi and
Luke; and mother-in-law Viola
Slechta; siblings Shirley Webster,
Leroy (Nancy) Goranson,
Raymond (Cheryl) Goranson,
Patricia Goranson, Zelda Goranson, Yolie (Russ) Donely, Linda
Goranson, Lee Goranson, Debbie
Carrier, Shelia (Dennis) Albers,
Zola Monsrud, Dale (Mary) Goranson, and; many special nieces and
nephews.
He was preceded in death by
his mother Garnet and father Burton Goranson and grandson Benjamin Chase Goranson.
A memorial service will be held
at Central United Protestant Church
in Richland on Friday, July 17, 6
p.m. with a viewing at 5 p.m. in
the chapel.
In lieu of flowers, donations can
be made to set up a scholarship
for future Eagle Scouts from Troop
159 of Pasco in honor of Burt.
Checks can be made to the Burt
Goranson Boy Scout Scholarship
Fund.
Burial will be at a later date at
King Cemetery near Odebolt, Iowa.

Jim Sumption died on July 3,

2015, at Glacial Ridge Hospital
in Glenwood.
James David Van Beveren
Sumption was born in Chicago,
Illinois on August 13, 1925, to
Richard and Mary (Horrell) Van
Beveren. His family moved to the
Minneota area where Jim attended
school. Before finishing high
school, he answered the call of
duty and joined the U.S. Navy.
He served from January 7, 1944,
through February 19, 1946, when
he was honorably discharged. Jim
spent much of his deployment on
a submarine in the South Pacific,
and later was awarded the Purple
Heart for his service. He then returned to Minnesota and completed
high school, graduating with
Beverly Swanson, his high school
sweetheart. On August 14, 1946,
the couple married at Hope
Lutheran Church in Minneota.
They moved to Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, and Jim attended
Augustana College where he
played basketball and ran track.
After graduation, they moved to
St. Paul where Jim attended Luther
Seminary. With a growing family, he worked weekends and evenings in construction and was able
to graduate in three years. He accepted his first call to a two-point
parish in Kenneth.
Jim served a number of churches
across the state, including parishes
in Crookston, New Ulm, rural
Starbuck, Grove City, and Boyd
before retiring in 1978. In June of
2015, he was recognized by ELCA
for sixty years of ministry. He is
remembered as one of those rare
individuals who could reach out
to all, regardless of social or cultural differences.
Jim loved the outdoors and led
many youth groups on canoeing
and camping trips to northern

Minnesota. He thoroughly enjoyed
his ministry, especially his work
with youth and families. He developed his own curriculum for
confirmation which inspired many
to use the Bible as an important
source of study and meditation.
He was a hunter, fisherman,
nature photographer, and bird
watcher. He loved learning about
the ways of Gods creatures and
spent much time reading, studying the scriptures, and writing.
Based on personal experiences with
family, he compiled a book entitled, Devotional Letters to
Grandchildren. Printing from his
computer, he gave away hundreds
of copies to friends, relatives, and
strangers.
Jim enjoyed sports of all kinds
and spent many hours watching
young people play basketball, football, wrestling, and running, while
encouraging them from the sidelines. In the 1960s, he became an
avid photographer at sporting
events and eventually set up his
own darkroom at home. The black
and white prints he developed were
given to the young athletes.
Jim is remembered as a wise,
gentle, and caring man of God,
ministering to those around him
until his journey on earth was complete. Just a week before his death
he baptized Kloe Reich, his greatgrandchild.
Jim is preceded in death by his
parents; two brothers, William
Sumption and Robert Sumption;
one sister, Marilyn Zellmer; and a
daughter, Leah Marie Sumption.
He is survived by his wife of 68
years, Beverly of Glenwood; two
sons, David (Angelina) Sumption
of Playa Del Rey, California, and
Mark (Sally) Sumption of Tomahawk, Wisconsin; four daughters,
Linda Sumption of Portales, New
Mexico, Faith (Paul) Anderson of
Starbuck, Judy Sumption of
Glenwood, and Janis Sumption
(Scott Tostenson) of Benson; three
sisters, Pearl (Kenn) Anderson of
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Ruby
McFadden of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and Mary Lee (Larry) Olson of Zumbrota; ten grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren;
and many nieces, nephews, and
friends.
A funeral service was held on
Saturday, July 11, at St. Johns
Lutheran Church near Starbuck
with Pastor Michael Hanson officiating. Pastor Matt Anderson officiated at the inurnment service
at Indherred Lutheran Cemetery.
Chris Romness 1954-2015

Christian Maynard Romness

Rochester to Avis Joy (Ewers) and
Halvor Maynard Romness. Chris
graduated from Wanamingo High

when he moved to Crosby, North
Dakota. For the past several years,
Chris worked for the City of Crosby

Chanhassen; his sister Carol
(Frank) Loncar and their three
children (Katelyn, Brian and
Michael) of Hudson, Wisconsin;

Lutheran Church in Wanamingo
on Saturday, July 11.
Those wishing to make a memorial donation are encouraged

Majerus proposes
flat levy for 2016
By Sandy Hadler
CANNON FALLS Fireworks
went off early Wednesday, July
1, at the Cannon Valley Fair, during the Goodhue County Commissioners meeting. Commissioner
Jason Majerus dropped a bombshell when he proposed a flat levy
for 2016. His proposal was heralded by Board Chair Ted Seifert
and Commissioner Ron Allen, but
was met with sharp criticism from
Commissioners Dan Rechtzigel
and Brad Anderson. Rechtzigel
cited inconsistencies in Majeruss
campaign promise to cut the budget, while supporting staff wage
increases of $900,000 in 2016.
Finance Director Carolyn
Holmsten also voiced objection
to the proposal, stating that a flat
levy would create a $2.4 million
budget gap in 2016. She noted that
previous financial decisions made
by the board will make it impossible to keep the levy flat.
Majeruss proposal came as a
surprise since the board has not
yet set a preliminary budget, which
according to state law must be
completed in September and cannot be increased.
Majerus agreed that county staff
will have to dig deep to determine
what cuts to make to eliminate
$2.4 million from next years budget. But he compared this to what
county residents have had to do
during the past years of recession,
and he said he was sure staff could

reduce their budgets and continue
to maintain existing services.
Rechtzigel demanded that Allen,
Seifert, and Majerus come up with
a plan to reduce spending, rather
than leaving it to the county department heads. He responded,
You cant hide behind staff. Ill
hold your feet to the fire on this
one.
Anderson pointed out that staff
has already been dealing with lack
of funding, and this proposal will
cause the county to move backward. In a compromise move,
Allen proposed an amendment to
direct staff to recommend cuts as
though the 2016 budget was flat,
but to allow some leeway by not
setting the final levy in stone until
after the preliminary budget is set.
The motion passed by a 3-2 vote.
Afterward, Seifert noted that despite the motion, there would probably be no changes to the 2016
budget.
Holmsten told the commissioners, I do not see that we can make
a zero levy work in 2016.
A Committee of the Whole
meeting was scheduled for July
21 to hear details on a proposal
that Allen brought up about a potential local transportation sales
tax. It would be used as a revenue
source for road projects and could
bring in $1.5 million next year.

insurance rating improves
PINE ISLAND Science-fiction writer Dave Cravens and his
mother, Heartland poet Suzanne
Cravens, will host a book signing
at Better Brew Coffeehouse in Pine
Island on July 24 from 5:30-7:30
p.m.
Their books and styles could
not be more different. Suzannes
poems in Linger for a While in
the Heartland have been reviewed
as lyrical descriptions of the natural world in rural Americana, while
her sons novel, The God
Thought, has been likened to the
thrillers of Dan Brown and Michael
Crichton (BlueInk Reviews). But
these writers share a connection
that goes well beyond their last
name.
To say Pine Island has had a
strong influence on our writing
would be an understatement, Dave
said. My parents have made it
their home since 1977. I spent
twenty years growing up here.
Its easy to find the rural inspiration in their work. Childhood
around the scenic west developed
Suzannes early love of the land.
And it is no coincidence that her
son, Dave, chose a farmer to be
the character in his novel to unlock the god thought a moment so powerful it is said to mirror what God thought when the
universe was created. A farmer
from a small town in the Midwest
literally changes the balance of
the world, explained the 41-year-
KENYON On June 22, Todd
Greseth of GMI Insurance presented three quotes from insurance companies to the KenyonWanamingo School Board.
Riverport, EMC, and RAM submitted proposals for school district property and workers compensation insurance.
Riverport had the most competitive bid for a one million dollar umbrella policy for commercial property/liability, with an
additional identity breach and data
compromise coverage valued at

$100,000. Debb Paquin said that
during her time on the board she
has encouraged the district to consider a two million dollar umbrella
policy, but after researching it she
found no precedent set by other
districts to justify the additional
expense. The board accepted the
bid from Riverport Insurance Company for $48,015.
For workers compensation and
employers liability insurance, the
district once again went with RAM

Mazeppa City Council considers

options for public works position
Pine Island American Legion

wins two of four games
MAZEPPA At the July 8
Mazeppa City Council meeting,
new City Administrator Clerk Karl
Nahrgang gave an update on the
public works position. He said the
job was offered to an individual,
but that the person did not immediately accept. The candidate requested a higher hourly wage and
more vacation time than the council
offered. The council decided it was
feasible for the city and fair to the
current employees to meet those
requests. They also discussed other
options, including re-advertising
the position.
Longtime Public Works Director Larry Zielsdorf planned to retire on August 31, however, if the
council decides to re-advertising
for the position and the hiring
timeline is set out further, Zielsdorf
could stay on a bit longer to train
his replacement.
In regard to city needs, Zielsdorf
said the gear box went out on the
city mower. A used mower was
purchased for $4,900. The influ-
ent sampler at the sewer plant

stopped working. A new $6,400
sampler was purchased. Zielsdorf
said when the sewer plant is replaced the new sampler could remain in use.
Fire department update
Mazeppa Fire Chief Brandon

Goranson said that in May the
department responded to five
medical calls and one fire, in addition to participating in one training. In June, the department responded to three medical calls,
three fires, and held one auto extrication training.
Goranson, the council, and city
attorney Steve Erwin discussed
legal aspects of various types of
accounts, and which accounts bills
would be paid from. Nahrgang will
take over billing for emergency
calls.
The department received a bill
for the Mazeppa Fire Relief
Associations 2014 audit. Councilor Scott Parker made a motion
to donate $3,100 to the MFRA to
pay for the cost of the audit, with

Zumbrota will hold 2016

budget work meeting
ZUMBROTA After discussion of next years budget at the
Zumbrota City Council meeting
on July 9, a budget workshop was
scheduled for August 6 at 5 p.m.
Mayor Rich Bauer said that at
this time the city is looking at a
6.5% increase in the proposed
budget for 2016, due in part to
expected increases in police, salary, and life insurance costs. He
suggested that the council hold
off on proposed increases until the
council has a better eye on the
comprehensive plan and city finances.
Dale Hinderaker said he would
like to see the budget stay flat, but
aspects of the budget, such as rising health care costs, are out of
their control. This line item accounted for about one-third of the
increases, with salary increases
being the second factor in increased
costs.
Brad Drenckhahn said perhaps
the answer is not just a levy hike.
He suggested further discussions
during a budget meeting.
Drenckhahn said he had previously
suggested an increase in councilors salaries, in an effort to attract
more candidates to run for positions. However, he said that if the
citys finances are that tight, council
salary raises could be set aside.
Tina Hostager asked if a budget
work session will be held. City
administrator Neil Jensen said that
was his next question. Hostager
said it helps her to see the full
picture. The other councilors were
in favor of a budget workshop and
it was scheduled.
Water controls to be replaced
City engineer Bill Angerman of

WHKS said all water controls in
the wells, storage reservoir, and
master unit at the wastewater treatment plant need replacement, following several malfunctioning
incidents. Some of the controls
were installed back in the 1950s.
Four estimates were obtained.
With all estimates less than
$100,000, the city can handle it
and save on engineering costs.
In Control, Inc. of Blaine quoted
a cost of $79,390 plus $6,364 with
optional work. Additionally, other
upgrades were suggested. The
council approved hiring In Control for the cost of $85,754 plus up
to $8,000 for additional needs.
Angerman also said contractors
completed work on East Avenue
reconstruction. The project is on
budget and Angerman said a final
payment will be due soon. In addition, survey work was completed
on 3rd Street for an area that is
frequently flooded. Painting on the
inside of the old blue water tower
is in poor condition. Before putting any money into repainting,
they will consider the future use
of the tower or, if better, to plan
for a new one.
Comprehensive plan udpate
Jeff Shopek of Loucks Associates, the group working on the citys

comprehensive strategic plan, said
the primary individual working on
the project, Tina Goodroad, took
another job. Molly PattersonLundgren was selected to take over
the project. She presented a timeline

Jensen said that after the end of

will also look at the feasibility of
a splash pad and handicap-friendly
bathrooms.
City accountant Kim Simonson
said the new financial and utility

two applicants applied for the open

the situation, a part-timer took

challenge. Callahan was authorized
to search for additional part-time
