exclaiming, “You’re tearing up the grass!”
“We’re not raising grass,” Mr. Killebrew replied. “We’re raising boys!”
Don’t assume it’s as easy as 1-2-3. A brand-new Little League baseball coach called a friend for advice. The friend, who had coached everything from soccer to track with his kids, told him, “I always started by numbering the bases.”
The new coach was surprised. “What do you mean?”
The friend explained that the first year he coached Little League, he laid out the bases and had the kids line up. “To warm up, let’s have everybody jog around the bases,” he said. “And the first four kids took off toward third.
“Ever since,” he said, “I’ve numbered the bases and explained that you have to run them in order. You’d be amazed at the number of kids who go from first to third by cutting across the pitcher’s mound.”
Never assume people know what’s obvious to you. Explain what they need to know.
Reputation is precious – character is priceless. The great Boston Red Sox star Ted Williams was nearing the end of his career when he had a bad season due to a pinched nerve in his neck. He
Life lessons from the baseball diamond -By Harvey MackayAh, the joys
of spring: longer daylight, budding flowers, farm babies, and, of course, opening day of our national pastime, baseball. What a thrill to go to the game and “root, root, root for the home team.”
I’ve found a day at the ballpark can also be very educational. In the game of life, baseball teaches us a lot of lessons. Here are a few classics:
Know what business you’re in. Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew once recalled playing in the yard with his father and brother. While the three were roughhousing, Mrs. Killebrew rushed toward them
said he could hardly turn his head to look at the pitcher. For the first time in his career, Williams batted under .300. At the time he was the highest salaried player in sports, making $125,000. The next year the Red Sox offered him a new contract for the same salary.
When he received the contract, Williams sent it back with a note saying that he would not sign it until they gave him the full pay cut allowed. Williams said: “I was always treated fairly by the

Red Sox … Now they were offering me a contract I didn’t deserve. And I only wanted what I deserved.”
Williams cut his own salary by 25 percent, raised his batting average by 62 points and closed out a brilliant career by hitting a home run in his final at bat.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Mickey Mantle, the great New York Yankee outfielder, once said: “During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,900 times. You figure a ball player will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played the equivalent of seven years without ever hitting the ball.”
Since Mantle is regarded as one of the greatest hitters of all time, his statistics provide some perspective about the failures and mistakes that life hands us from time to time.
Don’t be too quick to offer unsolicited advice. Sometimes it’s better to wait for people to ask for help or to be judicious in doling out wisdom.
One afternoon when American League baseball umpire Bill Guthrie was working behind the plate, the catcher of the visiting team repeatedly protested his calls. Guthrie endured this for three innings. But in the fourth
inning when the catcher started to complain again, Guthrie stopped him.
“Son,” he said gently, “you’ve been a big help to me calling balls and strikes, and I appreciate it. But I think I’ve got the hang of it now. So I’m going to ask you to go to the clubhouse and show them how to take a shower.”
Always remain optimistic. Not long ago I stopped by a local playground to watch a Little League baseball game. I asked one of the youngsters what the score was.
“We’re behind 16 to nothing,” he answered.
“I must say, you don’t seem discouraged,” I said. “Why is that?”
“Discouraged?” said the boy, “why should we be discouraged? We haven’t even been up to bat yet.”
Mackay’s Moral: If you want to swing for the fences, you have to learn the rules of the game.

By Connie Nelson, Sexual Assault Pro-gram Coordinator, Hands of Hope Re-source Center, Todd County
Each April a campaign is launched by sexual assault awareness organiza-tions in the United States in an effort to raise public awareness of the often times unreported and unspoken crime of sex-ual assault and rape. These crimes hap-pen more often than we would like to think, and due to the embarrassment and shame that accompany being a victim of sexual assault, nearly 70% go unre-ported to law enforcement and or medi-cal personnel. These victims live in our communities, go to our schools, sit next to us in church, and are our co-workers, friends, family members and neighbors.
This year’s SAAM theme is “Pre-vention is Possible.” Sexual assault is a choice of behavior of one individual to have power and control over another, it’s not about the sexual act perpetrated on the victim. Prevention of such trau-matic acts and behaviors needs to be a priority in our society. The only way we can act preventively is to be aware that this is going on in our world. It af-fects our young children, 15% of sexu-al assault victims are under the age of twelve. College and high school boys and girls are being assaulted at alarming
rates. A very alarming fact is that 80% of these assaults are being committed by people that the victims know and often times trust.
By talking about healthy boundar-ies, supporting age-appropriate behav-iors, modeling healthy sexual behaviors as adults, and speaking up when another adult is being sexually inappropriate, we can play a part in preventing unhealthy sexual behaviors.
There is often silence and discom-fort when it comes to the discussion of sexual development. It’s important to understand that this is a normal experi-ence that we as humans all experience. By opening up communication, sharing age appropriate information with chil-dren, and educating one another, we are taking steps toward a safer community.
If you would like further informa-tion, or if you have been victimized by sexual assault and need to talk about it in confidence, please feel free to contact Hands of Hope Resource Center at 320-732-2319 or stop by our office at 347 Central Ave. in Long Prairie.

Motorists on Interstate 94 and High-way 15 in St. Cloud, and on I-94 be-tween St. Cloud and Collegeville, may encounter delays as a series of lane clo-sures begin Friday, April 22.
Eastbound I-94 at Highway 15 will be reduced to a single lane and shifted to the single auxiliary lane at the I-94/Highway 15 interchange. The closure, which will be in place through May 26, is needed while crews resurface and re-pair the eastbound I-94 bridge spanning Highway 15.
Motorists who travel southbound Highway 15 to eastbound I-94 during peak travel times should seek alternate routes and stagger travel times to avoid morning rush hours, if possible.
Beginning Monday, April 25, I-94 between Highway 23, west of St. Cloud, and County Road 159, near Colleg-eville, will be reduced intermittently to a single lane. The closures are needed while crews build temporary crossover lanes as part of a project to resurface six
Interstate 94 lane closures in St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Collegeville begin April 22
miles of I-94.The closures are part of two proj-
ects that will improve segments of I-94 between St. Cloud and Collegeville in 2016. When complete, the projects will result in a smoother ride and extend the life of the roadway.

Ed was born on August 25, 1935 at St. Gabriel’s Hospital in Little Falls to E.K. (Keith) and Viola Tanner. He attended grade school at Washington School and then continued his schooling until he graduated with the class of 1953. After attending Gustavus Adolphus College he returned to Little Falls and worked at the Dairy Queen. A few years later he purchased the business from his parents, which remained in the Tanner family for 50 years.
In November of 1965 he married Lucy (Murphy) Tanner at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Fisher, MN. Their son, Jerry was born in 1975.
Being involved in the community was important to him. While in high school he attained the rank of Eagle Scout and had the opportunity to attend
two national jamborees. He was a 50 year member of the Little Falls Lions and a former member of the Little Falls Jaycees. Some of the organizations he supported were: Morrison County Historical Society, St. Gabriel’s Hospital Auxiliary, Linden Hill Convention Center, First United Church, Heartland Symphony, and Little Falls Convention & Visitors Bureau. He was one of the members on the steering committee to build the Exchange Arena. He was a member of the Big Birch Lake Association, Masons, and Zuhrah Shriners.
Ed was a charter member of the Lone Eagles Auto Club, as well as a member of the Midstate Jeepsters and Antique Auto Club of America. In September of 2015 he completed 50 consecutive years of Annual Fall Foliage Runs sponsored by Minnesota Region of AACA.
Ed also was a member of The Little Falls Sno-Dogs. He enjoyed snowmobiling locally and in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Yellowstone National Park. He enjoyed volunteering, traveling, and taking care of his lawn.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseylittle student loan nuance, and the fact that they’re not giving you enough “free money” to make this a good deal, I would have to say don’t do it.
-DaveDear Dave,
My wife and I are following your plan, and we’re in the middle of the Baby Steps. Do we have to wait until Baby Step 7 to buy a new car?
-AlanDear Alan,
No, you don’t have to drive a beater until you pay off your house. My advice is to drive the minimum car you can until you get past the first three steps. Remember, Baby Step 1 is a beginner emergency fund of $1,000. Baby Step 2 is paying off all debt except for your house, then Baby Step 3 is fully funding your emergency fund with three to six months of expenses.
Once you’ve done all that, then you can move up to a nice car. I didn’t say move up to a new car. I want you to save up cash a get a really nice, barely used car. I never advise buying a brand new car unless you have a net worth of at least $1 million. At that point, you’ve got enough assets in place to where you won’t even feel the massive hit in depreciation that comes with buying a new vehicle.
But until then, drive good used cars. That’s what the typical millionaire did, and I want you to model your financial behavior after people who are in the position you want to be in some day!

Dear Dave,I’m a senior
in high school here in Arkansas, and I think I want to study business in college. I’ve gotten an unusual offer from a small, out-of-state school. It revolves around a $3,000 student loan program, where the loan
converts to a scholarship if I maintain a grade point average of 3.3 or higher. Tuition at this college costs about $34,000 a year, so I was wondering what you think about the idea.
-GarrettDear Garrett,
I’m glad you’re thinking about the future. But this is not my favorite idea, because you could end up with a loan.
In business, one of the things we look at is return on investment. If I can go to one place where tuition’s $34,000 a year, but I could go to another place that’s in-state for about $7,000, the question becomes this: Am I going to get a five times better education — or is my income going to be five times greater — by going to the expensive school? I think most of us who have been walking around a while would say no.
Your income will not be based on where you went to school, and it won’t necessarily even be based on your grade point average. It will be based on your ability to take what you learned into the marketplace, kill something and drag it home. This has as much, if not more, to do with your initiative, your perseverance, character qualities and integrity as where you went to school.
One of the great jokes in America today is that where you go to school matters. Some places may have better programs in certain areas than others, but is this particular college — which I’m guessing isn’t a prestige school, since you didn’t mention the name — five times better than a solid in-state school like Arkansas State or the University of Arkansas? No, it’s not.
I don’t think you’re going to get a return on your investment overall in this picture, Garrett. Add to that this

TractorsSome of us
can remember the old farm tractors. They were certainly an improvement over the horses. Since the new tractor t e c h n o l o g y was still in it’s infancy, there
were some challenges. Tractors, as such, had been around farms for many years. The originals were monsters that were powered by coal, diesel fuel, gasoline and kerosene. They were very large and in many cases, were extremely difficult to turn, especially those that had heavy chains used to turn the front wheels. The wheels were made of steel with heavy cleats welded or bolted on them to help traction. Most of them were iron monsters.
In the 1930’s tractors began to emerge as the tractors we recognize today. Power was now created by piston powered 2 or 4 cylinder engines fueled with gas, kerosene or diesel fuel. Rubber tires were another improvement, which along with reduced size of the unit itself, made it much easier to control. Newer, machinery which was designed for use with the new tractors, created a marketing bonanza for farm implement
“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehnedealers.
However, the new machines were not as tiring for the operator and since there was now a need to create extra income to afford the new equipment, farmers began to work longer hours and farm more acres. Were they beginning to become a slave to new, modern technology?
Our first tractor was a 1939 John Deere H. I think it had 12 horsepower and had a top road speed of 9 miles per hour. Three gear speeds going forward and one in reverse. It handled a 2 bottom plow quite well in second gear, going about 6 miles per hour. It took several hours to plow an acre. To start it, you had to spin over the rather large fly-wheel. There was no electric starter.
The next tractor was a 1937 John Deere B. I think it had about 17 horsepower, 6 speeds forward and had duel fuel. You moved the fuel lever to gas to start the tractor and then switched to tractor fuel after it started. We were still spinning over the fly-wheel to start it. We now moved up to a three bottom plow and reduced our plowing time by about half. The B also went about 15 miles per hour on the road, which was really flying. The only problem was that the hay wagons we were pulling usually had an alignment problem and they would usually jerk from side to side at higher speed.
Tractors in the years that followed consisted of a John Deere A, which had a starter, which didn’t always work. Followed by another B, followed by a 60 and then in 1958 a new John Deere 520. This one had power steering, wow, this was really great.
A kid from the farm has affectionate feelings for the old tractors. Part of it is the recognition of the gradual improvement in the tractors ability and the rest comes from spending many, many hours behind that steering wheel.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Most com-mittees are wrap-ping up their work as the legislative session moves into the home stretch. Only five weeks remain before adjourn-ment on May 23. We’ll transition to more and longer floor sessions as bills come out of
committee and are put on the calendar for final action.
Two of the finance committees I serve on, education and agriculture, put the finishing touches on their respective bills last week. Keeping in mind that this is not a budget year, the bill coming out of the education committee contains $53 million in new, mainly one-time spend-ing. One of the unique parts of the bill is funding for the Lakes Country Service Cooperative to work with Minnesota State University, Moorhead, to develop graduate level courses for high school teachers so they can remain eligible to teach college courses in their high school classrooms. Within the next five years, those who teach concurrent courses must have an advanced degree in the field they are teaching.
While on the subject of education, some are saying we have a perfect storm in relation to a looming shortage of teachers. Nearly 6,000 educators, over 10 percent of Minnesota teachers, left their positions in the years 2012-14. In addi-tion, newly licensed teachers trained in Minnesota fill less than five percent of the vacant positions. The number of new teacher licenses awarded to those who complete their license requirements in Minnesota has decreased by 7 percent over the last five years. Over the past 10 years, the trend is even more glaring as it shows a 44 percent decrease in licenses awarded.
This new education bill begins look-ing for answers to this problem. It con-tains limited funding for those doing their student teaching to receive a stipend to help expenses, in addition to increasing
the funding available for teacher loan forgiveness. It also contains language declaring the Board of Teaching has re-sponsibility for licensing teachers, is-suing special permissions to teach, and performing all licensure-related duties and responsibilities. In addition, at the Board’s direction, it allows the Depart-ment of Education to perform administra-tive functions related to issuing licenses.
The agriculture bill also contains limited additional spending, with the dol-lars coming from funds left over from last year’s massive effort to combat Avi-an Flu in our poultry flocks. Funds will be re-purposed to assist the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab with new research and to the Department of Ag for laboratory equipment. In addition, a farm safety pro-gram will be established to assist farm-ers in retro fitting their older tractors with roll over protection. A meeting on farm safety I recently attended listed roll overs as the leading cause of accidental death among farmers. The program will be vol-untary and would limit the out of pocket expense of installing a roll bar and safety belt to $500.
I am also carrying an ag policy bill that’s ready for floor action. Among its main features is an extension of the Farm-er-Lender Mediation program for another two years. The program is expected to be used extensively in the near future be-cause of the decline in commodity prices and the resultant negative cash flows. The legislation also establishes a com-mission to examine the program, which hasn’t been changed since the 1980s, and report back to the Legislature next year.
With warming temperatures and dry conditions, field work has kicked into high gear. Ground is working up nicely but also resulting in dust clouds as ma-chines work across the fields. Corn is be-ing planted, which is early for this area, but the soil has warmed sufficiently and conditions are good. Farmers are urged to be careful as they put in long days getting their crops seeded.

House Prepping to bring Session’s Biggest Bills to the Floor
“Don’t worry about the sweet by-and-by,” said the president of the uni-versity I attended years ago. “That will be here soon enough. God has promised it and that’s all we need to know. As sure as God has kept His Word in the past He will honor it today, tomorrow and every day, from now until the sweet by-and-by is here. What we need to worry about is the nasty now-and-now.”
That goes with the phrase we of-ten hear: “Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.”
While being concerned about and planning for the future makes good
Men always want to be a woman’s first love - women like to be a man’s last romance. -Oscar Wilde
Thought for the week:
sense, we need to be much more con-cerned about what we might do every moment of every hour to honor God every day. With that thought in mind, David said, “But I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and at noon I cry out in distress and He hears my voice.”
Notice his priorities: He would not retire at night without going to God in prayer, asking for His forgiveness, peace and protection so he might rest well and be at ease with God. Nor would he begin his day without asking God to guide him and guard him and give him His power and protection. And then - right in the middle of the day - he would stop every-thing and go to his Lord in prayer. He needed His help in the “now!”
Prayer, for David, was not a trivi-al ritual. It was his life - his source of strength. “I cry out...He hears!”

This advanced safe food handling course focuses on aspects of cottage food products including baked, confectionery, dried, fruit preserves and, acid and acidi-fied fruit and vegetables. You will learn how to produce, package and label a safe food
product. This workshop meets the training requirement to register as a Minnesota cot-tage food producer with annual sales $5001 - $18,000 per year. Individuals with gross re-ceipts of less than $5,000 per calendar year may attend this course or complete the on-line training course at http://www.mda.state.mn.us/licensing/licensetypes/cottagefood.aspx .

Boaters of all ages and skill levels have the opportunity to save 50 percent on the Boat Minnesota online boating course if they enroll by Saturday, April 23. The lim-ited-time discount is offered as part of the national Spring Aboard boating safety edu-cation campaign.
Those who successfully complete the course receive a Minnesota Watercraft Op-erator’s Permit from the Department of Natural Resources. Minnesota law requires boaters ages 12 to 17 have a permit before operating watercraft with an engine over 25 horsepower.
“An educated boater is safer and more confident on the water, which translates into a more enjoyable boating experience for the operator and passengers,” said Capt. Jon Paurus, DNR Enforcement Education Program Coordinator. “Taking a boating safety course should be part of every fam-ily’s checklist as they prepare for the boating season.”
Although not a requirement in Min-nesota, adult boaters are also strongly en-couraged to take a boating safety course to improve their skills and knowledge on the water. U.S. Coast Guard accident statistics show that approximately 80 percent of boat-ing deaths occur on boats where the operator has not taken a boating safety course.
“More adults are getting into boating without having participated in their youth, so the knowledge of boating regulations and safety practices hasn’t been passed down. And even those who have boated their entire lives can learn something new by taking a course, since rules and requirements change over time,” said Stan Linnell, the DNR’s state boating law administrator.
As additional incentive to take a boating safety course, boaters with a watercraft op-erator’s permit may also be eligible for a dis-
Take the Boat Minnesota online course by April 23, save 50 percent
count on boat insurance premiums, and they will meet any mandatory boating education requirements out-of-state and in Canada.
To receive the Spring Aboard discount, visit www.boat-ed.com/minnesota and enter discount code SPRINGABOARDMN16. Enrollment must take place by Saturday, April 23, but the course does not need to be completed immediately.
The Spring Aboard campaign is coordi-nated by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA), and is supported by a U.S. Coast Guard grant. Learn more at www.nasbla.org/spring.

Grey Eagle CityApril 12, 2016
These are unapproved minutes.The regular meeting of the
Grey Eagle City Council was called to order by Mayor Jim Gohman at 7:00 p.m., on the 12th day of April, 2016 in council chambers. Coun-cil members present were Thom Muellner, Roland Ahrendt and Joe Arnzen. Council member Ralph Muellner was absent. Also in atten-dance were Chico Hellmann, Lori Hellmann and guests Bryan Bye, Craig Tschida, Loren Fellbaum, Ken Messer and Romie Gessell.
A motion was made by Roland Ahrendt to approve the amended agenda. A second was made by Thom Muellner and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried.
A motion was made by Joe Arnzen to approve the minutes of the March 8, 2016 meeting as writ-ten. A second was made by Thom Muellner and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried.
Bryan Bye updated the council on the progress of the preliminary engineering report for the proposed sewer rehab project. Part of the pro-cess was to contact the County and State offices regarding the project to see if either entity had any proj-ects that could be incorporated into the project at the same time. Loren Fellbaum stated that Todd County would be interested in doing a project on County Road 102 and County Road 33 within city limits. The county road project would first have to be approved by the Todd County Board of Commissioners before any formal agreement would come to the council for approval. If the county road project moves forward, any portion of that project that falls within the proposed sewer rehab project could be included in the grants. The majority of the costs related to the county road project would be paid by Todd County. Bryan Bye stated that MnDOT has no plans for a project on the State Highway at this time.
Ken Messer was in attendance to ask for a building permit to move in a 30’x20’ garage on his property. Pictures of the garage were present-ed to the council. The siding would be replaced with steel to match the back shed, and a cement slab would be installed on which to place the garage. The council would like a time frame on when the project would be completed. Ken Messer stated that he wasn’t sure when he would get the garage but thought it would be completed by fall. A mo-
tion was made by Thom Muellner to approve the building permit to install a cement slab and move in a 30’x20’ garage. The garage would be set back far enough from Wood-man Street that it would not block the view of the road for the neigh-bors backing out of their driveway safely. Upon a roll call vote, the council voted as follows: Thom Muellner: aye, Roland Ahrendt: nay, Joe Arnzen: aye, Jim Gohman: aye. Motion carried. Upon further discussion, the council determined that work could only take place be-tween the hours of 8:00 a.m., and 9:00 p.m.
Romie Gessell was in atten-dance to discuss a property split, and requesting approval of creating a subdivision of that parcel. Romie is selling approximately 1.29 acres to the Overland Group for a Dol-lar General store. A big portion of the current building will be moved off the property and either sold or relocated to another location on the Gessell property. A building permit would be required if the building would be moved to another location on the property. A motion was made by Joe Arnzen to call for a public hearing regarding the subdivision on Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. A second was made by Roland Ahrendt and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried. Romie is requesting water only for the remaining portion of the building for washing cars as this portion of the building was never connected to the city sewer. The council will discuss the request at the May meeting.
The following water/sewer/maintenance items were discussed:
1. Street sweeping and clean-ing of the catch basin for the storm sewer could be done by the City of Sauk Centre, for approximately the same price as last year. A mo-tion was made by Thom Muellner to contract with the City of Sauk Centre for street sweeping and the cleaning of the catch basin. A sec-ond was made by Roland Ahrendt and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried.
2. The dirt pile at Lakeview Cemetery is getting too large and needs to be moved.
3. Once weight restrictions are off, gravel will be placed in the al-leys as needed.
4. Chase from Johnson Jet-Line wanted to know if the council would like the sewer mains tele-vised in sections where the roots were the worst. The council felt that we should wait to see if the sewer rehab project takes place before anything more is done.
5. The Council was informed that the insurance company reim-bursed the city for everything that was billed by Electric Pump for the lift station repairs.
6. There is a wooden trailer at the ponds that is no longer used. The council decided to sell it for $100.
7. Discussion was held on the bids for crack sealing and seal coat-ing streets that would not be a part of the proposed sewer project. Mid-west Asphalt submitted a bid for $2,625 for crack sealing, All Things Asphalt submitted a bid for $2,300 for crack sealing, Asphalt Preserva-tion submitted a bid for $20,159.28 for seal coating and Caldwell As-phalt submitted a bid for $19,320 for seal coating. A motion was made by Joe Arnzen to contract with All Things Asphalt to do crack sealing for the bid price. A second was made by Thom Muellner and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried.
The council reviewed a copy of the draft ordinance submitted by the City Attorney. The clerk
was instructed to contact the City Attorney regarding questions and changes that the council had.
The council discussed aban-doned vehicles on vacant city lots as well as some properties that need to be cleaned up. The clerk was in-structed to send letters.
A motion was made by Thom Muellner to approve Resolution No. 2016, A Resolution Establish-ing Limited Clean Up and Prop-erty Damage Protection for Sewer Back-ups and Water Main Breaks for Water and Sewer Customers. A second was made by Joe Arnzen and upon vote, with all members voting in favor, motion carried. The resolution is as follows:
Resolution No. 2016-05: Res-olution Establishing Limited Clean Up And Property Damage Protec-tion For Sewer Back-Ups And Water Main Breaks For Water And Sewer Customers
Whereas, the City of Grey Eagle (the Governmental Unit) provides water and sanitary sewer services to property within its juris-diction; and
Whereas, water main breaks may cause water to enter into prop-erty causing damage; and
Whereas, blockages or other conditions in the Governmental Unit’s sanitary sewer lines may cause the back-up of sewage into properties that are connected to those Governmental Unit’s sanitary lines; and
Whereas, water main breaks and sewer back-ups pose a public health and safety concern; and
Whereas, it may be difficult to determine the exact cause and re-sponsibility for a water main break or sanitary sewer back-ups; and
Whereas, the Government Unit desires to encourage the expe-ditious clean-up of properties that have encountered damage from water main breaks and sewer back-ups; and
Whereas, the Governmental Unit desires to minimize the po-tential of expensive lawsuits aris-ing out of water main breaks and sanitary sewer back-up claims; and
Whereas, the Governmental Unit is a member of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT); and
Whereas, LMCIT has offered the Governmental Unit limited “no fault” sewer coverage and water main break coverage (No-Fault Coverage) that will reimburse users of the water and sewer system for certain clean-up costs and property damage regardless of whether the Governmental Unit is at fault.
Now Therefore, Be It Resolved,as follows:
The Governmental Unit will reimburse water and sanitary sewer customers for up to $0 of clean-up costs and property damages caused by a water main break or sanitary sewer back-up, regardless of whether the Governmental Unit is negligent or otherwise legally li-able for damages, subject to the fol-lowing conditions:
I. Sanitary Sewer Back-Ups. For Sanitary sewer back-ups:
A. The back-up must have re-sulted from a condition in the Gov-ernmental Unit’s sanitary sewer system or lines and not from a con-dition in a private line.
B. The back-up must not have been caused by any catastrophic weather or other event which has been declared by the President of the United States to be a major di-saster pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 5121-5206, commonly known as the Stafford Act.
C. The back-up must not have been caused by an interruption in electric power to the Governmental
