item, you understand all too well why trust is central to a working relationship.
“Trust is a calculated risk made with one’s eyes open to the possibilities of failure, but it is extended with the expectation of success,” said Robert Levering, former Ohio congressman.
And although I preach this message constantly, I’m always surprised at the people and companies that just don’t get it – they think the rules don’t apply to them. Believe me, they do.
The late Peter Drucker, American management consultant and author, said of trust: “In the ethics of interdependence there are only obligations, and all obligations are mutual obligations. Harmony and trust – that is, interdependence, require that each side be obligated to provide what the other side needs to achieve its goals and to fulfill itself.”
Your “trust fund” grows in many large and small ways. To develop a healthy balance of trust in your work relationships, make these “deposits” every day:
• Tell the truth. Never assume that certain people “can’t handle the truth.” Be as honest with your employees as you expect them to be with you. If you get caught in a lie, your employees won’t trust you. You may get a second chance, but don’t count on it.
• Share information. By demonstrating that you are willing to keep employees informed, you help them make good decisions on their own. And it builds their confidence while increasing their willingness to actively participate in the growth of the organization.
• Speak one-on-one with employees.
Create a ‘trust fund’ with your team -By Harvey MackayI am
convinced that T-R-U-S-T is the most important five-letter word in business – not sales or money or any other r e p l a c e a b l e c o m m o d i t i e s . Trust can be fragile, especially in the workplace. Once it’s broken,
few companies, managers or employees ever win it back.
At every level of every organization, workers need to understand the importance of keeping their word and living up to the organization’s values. Customers and co-workers want to know they can depend on management. Trust between managers and employees is crucial to the long-term enthusiasm, loyalty, and productivity of the company.
If you have ever been on the receiving end of a broken promise or a warranty that doesn’t cover whatever is wrong with your
There’s no better way to build a relationship of trust than through personal, face-to-face contact.
• Resolve conflicts quickly. Whether a dispute is between two employees or two departments, promptly resolving the situation will prevent its escalation and minimize disruption of productivity. Better yet, allow the disputing parties to find a solution. Doing that shows you trust them to use their best judgment.
• Avoid showing favoritism. Equal treatment must be practiced to promote trust, teamwork and respect.
• Don’t guess when you don’t know an answer. When you make a mistake, admit it so you can move on and start fixing it. Honesty is the best way to show people you’re dependable. Be straightforward. Admit that you don’t have a ready answer rather than waffling or throwing out a haphazard reply that lacks credibility.
• Show flexibility in your decision making. Make exceptions to the rules when common sense dictates it. And consider unusual alternatives for problems that can’t be resolved by typical methods.
• Put other people’s interests before yours. Focus on what’s best for your

organization and people, not just about what will benefit you and your career. When employees see your good intentions, they’ll often make heroic efforts on your part.
• Keep your promises. Don’t commit to a promise you can’t deliver. Think about what’s realistic, and do your best to live up to your word. Your employees will notice.
• Behave ethically. Do the right thing in all your dealings with others. Stand up for your employees, and at the same time, refuse to accept anything but the best from them – and from yourself.
A remarkable example of trust exists in the deep blue sea, an arrangement between the shark and the pilot fish. Sharks, as we know, will eat almost any ocean dweller – except for the pilot fish. In fact, they invite pilot fish to join them
for – not as – lunch. The smaller fish act as an automatic toothpick and eat the leftover food between the sharks’ mighty teeth.
In this unlikely partnership, the shark gets clean teeth and the pilot fish get nourished. Both swim away satisfied. And trusting that the next encounter will be just as successful.
Mackay’s Moral: For any successful working relationship, trust is a must.

A Memorial Day Message -By Sheila RipplingerWhile we look forward to celebrat-
ing the beginning of summer and all the fun activities ahead- may we not forget to observe in honorary remembrance, the great men and women who have lit-erally ‘given their all’ for our Freedom that we experience in this wonderful Country that we call home!
May we also take a moment to show gratitude and respect to those who are currently serving in all of our Armed Forces of Military.
Many ‘Free Americans’ do not even know the origination behind the red poppy flower that is given out by faithful veterans. We may know that the dona-tions go to support something- but that is about it. We still today have wounded and hurting soldiers that need our help. Whether wounded physically or emo-tionally from battle scars, we need to re-member them and support them.
The Red Poppy has been recog-nized internationally as a symbol of Remembrance as early as 1915, during the Spring after the cold winter war on the Battlefield of Belgium, France. The Battlefield was declared by Pilot James McConnel as he flew over, as “a brown belt, a strip of murdered nature.”
That Spring, the vivid red poppy,
whose seeds had laid dormant, sprung up in hope as a life after battle!
Major John McCrae, a Canadian Soldier, heartbroken over the death of a friend from the same artillery unit, was so inspired and in awe of the sight of these vibrant, delicate red flowers that arose amidst the shattered, war torn ground, that he composed a world re-nown poem:
In Flanders FieldsIn Flanders Fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row by rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard a midst the guns belowWe are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, was sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders Fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold high.If we break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders Fields
The Color Red in our American Flag represents hardiness and valor, courage and bravery. Blood was shed for us to live freely.
Revelation 2:3- “You have perse-vered and endured hardships for my Name.” Jesus
Ezekiel 39:13- “The Day I am glori-fied will be a Memorable Day” declares the Sovereign Lord!
God Bless America!

ObituariesLorene Marie Prokott
Mass of Christian Burial celebrating the life of Lorene M. Prokott, 87, of the Upsala area, will be at 10:30 AM on Friday, May 27, 2016 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Upsala. Fr. John Odero will officiate and burial will take place in the parish
cemetery. Lorene passed away Sunday evening with family at her side at Mother of Mercy Senior Living in Albany. There will be a visitation from 4:00-8:00 PM on Thursday, May 26, 2016 and again after 9:30 AM until the start of mass on Friday at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Upsala. Christian Mothers will pray the rosary at 6:30 PM and parish prayers will be at 7:00 PM Thursday evening at the church. Arrangements are being made with the Miller-Carlin Funeral Home of Upsala.
Lorene was born on June 1, 1928 in Two Rivers Township to Leonard and Agnes (Schelonka) Trettel. She grew up with three other siblings and lived in the area her entire life. Lorene worked as a waitress and at a dry cleaners when she wasn’t helping her parents on the farm in the summers. On June 19, 1950 she married Peter R. Prokott at Holy Cross in North Prairie and together
they raised five children. Lorene was a busy homemaker and was Pete’s right-hand-man on the farm. She was a fan of Old Time music and liked to polka and waltz with her husband. Lorene liked working in her flower and vegetable gardens. She loved baking, enjoyed food in general, and she loved sharing her dishes with family and friends. Lorene was known for making her children and grandchildren’s favorite foods when they visited. Polish coffee cake was one of her favorite things and will be shared after the funeral. Her treat drawer was a special thing all the grandkids enjoyed. In her early years she crocheted blankets and later made quilts to celebrate family’s special occasions. She loved spending time with family and friends, and especially enjoyed Tuesday Night Card Club and the neighborhood card games. She was a long-time member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Upsala and was an active member of the Christian Mothers.
Lorene is survived by her husband of 65 years Pete Prokott, Upsala; her children Renee (Dave) Scholz, Upsala; Elaine (Daryl) Tasler, Windom; Arnie (Jan) Prokott, Eau Claire, WI; Leonice (Don Kolo) Prokott, rural Upsala; Jen (Rich) Sullivan, Chanhassen; her sister-in-law Regina Trettel; nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; as well as many other family and friends.
She is greeted in Heaven by her parents Leonard and Agnes Trettel, her brother Edward Trettel, her sisters Regina (Joe) Klimek, Verena Opatz, Theresa Prokott, and an infant brother.

By Lori YoungLocal truck owners and operators
in Grey Eagle received a letter from the City of Grey Eagle for a public hearing to be held on Tuesday, June 14 at 7:15.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the complaints they received of semi-trucks left running or idling for several hours and reefers idling or run-ning on refrigerated trailers for several hours. The City would like to add ad-ditional restrictions to address parking and idling of trucks, semitrailers, and other similar vehicles within the city.
The proposed amendment to the city ordinance include:
-Designating streets on which com-mercial vehicles in excess of 9,000 pounds is prohibited.
-No parking of a bus, farm truck, semitrailer, truck or truck-tractor on a public right-of way unless actively en-gaged in loading, unloading or provid-ing a service.
-The City can prohibit or limit the operation or parking of any vehicles upon any street; or impose weight re-strictions on vehicles to be operated or parked on a street or roadway.
-The City can designate certain streets or portions of streets as no park-ing or no stopping or standing zones or as zones marked for handicapped and
Grey Eagle City to hold public hearing to place additional regulations on trucks
may limit the hours in which the restric-tions apply.
-The City may designate certain areas where the right to park is limited during specified hours. No vehicle shall be parked upon any street in any one place for longer than 48 hours.
-The City may establish spaces on streets as loading zones or truck zones. Any person wanting to establish a load-ing or truck zone abutting a premise shall make a written application to the City. If granted, the City will bill the applicant for the estimated cost of plac-ing signs and painting the curb. When the fee is paid, the City shall install the necessary signs and paint the curb.
-No person shall cause, allow or permit a bus, farm truck, semitrailer, truck or truck-tractor to be running or idling for more than one hour within an eight hour period within the City, un-less actively engaged in loading or un-loading.
-A refrigeration or warming unit on a semitrailer truck or truck-tractor shall be turned off at all times unless actively engaged in loading, unloading or tran-siting through the City.
The War YearsWWII had
a great effect on all Minnesota families. Many of us were c o n c e r n e d with what was happening in Europe long before December 1941. Many of our relatives had
their lives interrupted beginning with the middle 1930’s. Something was very wrong over there, but there was a feeling of relief, that we were here and not living over there.
The war created a need for farm products that was greater than we had ever experienced previously. The prices were really good. The weather was really good. Those farmers who were needed here, on the home front, to produce farm products worked many long hours and were paid well for doing it.
The rural labor force was reduced by the number of those serving in the military and the ones who were employed by the defense plants. Many of the local people moved to the Cities to work in the factories there. But there were also some who went to the West Coast to work in the ship-building plants. They were primarily employed as welders and worked 10 or 12 hour days, 6 days a week, welding together large sheets of metal for the ship structure. The pay was good and since they had been accustomed to living a spartan existence out west too. It was not uncommon for 6 or 8 people to share rent on a small one bedroom home.
A farm deferment was available if a man could prove that he was producing a satisfactory amount of farm products. A hired farm laborer could also get a deferment if he worked a satisfactory number of hours for a well producing farm. These considerations emphasize the Government’s concern for food supplies for the troops.
The opportunities for non-farm income were also available for the younger farm boy. The price of fur was good, since it was needed for warmth for the troops. Raccoon, beaver, muskrat, fox and mink prices were good. Raccoon was $5.00-$10.00, beaver was $25.00, muskrat was $2.00, Fox was $10.00 and
“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehnemink was $20.00 to $30.00. The price of weasel was only 50¢. These prices offered a school student the opportunity check traps before and after school and make some spending money.
The war effort placed some restrictions on what we were able to purchase. Ration books were issued and when your ration stamps for a product were used, you could not purchase any more of that item until the new ration book arrived. The primary rationed items were rubber and gas along with shoes, clothes, sugar, meat, coffee, fuel oil and automobiles. To offset the rations, some individuals roasted rye or acorns to make coffee. Gardens supplied many needed vegetables.
The War caused us to continue to walk to school and work. Maybe that wasn’t all bad.

Randy Friese lost his barn Saturday, May 14 near Burtrum. There were 22 cows and a young calf in the barn when the fire broke out. Thanks to Haileigh Sales for calling her parents, Bruce Sales and Randy were able to get to the farm in time to get all the cows out. No one was hurt. Numerous neighbors, friends, and family members helped move equipment, calves, etc. away from the burning barn. For now, Shawn Hollermann is helping out by fostering the milking cows. Both the Grey Eagle and Long Prairie Fire Departments assisted with the fire. Photos by Heather Hulinsky.

He stood before my desk with a set of orders and said, “FTC Nichols re-porting for duty, Sir.” Not hearing his designator very clearly I asked, “What do you do for the Navy?”
“Sir,” he said crisply, “I recently completed a tour of duty on a guided missile frigate. I was the one who was responsible for making certain that the azimuth on each weapon system was operational and accurate, Sir.” He cer-tainly had my attention and spoke in a convincing manner. There was no doubt
My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. -John F. Kennedy
Thought for the week:
in my mind that he was competent to do his job and that all weapon systems un-der his control would deliver their mis-siles to the intended target at the precise moment.
God wants to place His “azimuth” in our hearts. David wrote, “My heart is steadfast O God; My heart is steadfast.” So committed was he to the Lord that he emphasized the word “steadfast” by stating it twice. But there is something more.
The word “steadfast” can also be interpreted, even more correctly in this verse, as “confident!” Here we find Da-vid, after trying many different paths to find satisfaction, finally found it in God. It was his firm faith that was the result of an inner transformation that was now going to be visible by the way he wor-shiped and served God.
When we completely commit our lives to God, He will give us His guid-ance system to control the destiny of our lives. His Word will become our “azi-muth.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
The last night of session can sometimes get wild, as members race to finish key legislation before the clock strikes midnight and work must cease.
In my previ-ous years, except for the times when special sessions were to be called
at a later date, those dramatic last few minutes have produced results that got the necessary work done. This time how-ever, as members watched TV monitors in disbelief, a last-minute amendment in the Senate offered by a metro area senator threw everything in disarray. That amend-ment, one which called for an additional $10 million for trains in the metro area, came minutes after the House had al-ready passed the same bill and adjourned for the year. It meant that the amounts of money appropriated for transportation in the House and Senate bills were different, and time had run out before they could be rectified.
The chaotic ending overshadowed a day in which several other major bills were passed, including one that provides millions of dollars in relief to Minnesota taxpayers. Among its features is one that eliminates the state income tax on veter-ans’ pension benefits. That provision has been discussed for years, and it finally became reality in this tax bill. It also pro-vides a $100,000 exemption in valuation for all commercial properties in the state in relation to the statewide business prop-erty tax. That will certainly help our main street businesses cope with the rising cost of taxes in Minnesota. The legislation also moves our tax code into full conformity
with annual changes made in federal law, with the exception of Section 179 expens-ing.
Another feature of the new tax bill, one that could make a big difference in Greater Minnesota, is a provision where-by the state will provide a credit of 40 per-cent to owners of agricultural land that is assessed for school capital referendums. If signed by Governor Dayton, this would apply to all current and future school capi-tal levy referendums, and residents would see the credit take effect with their May property tax payments next year (2017).
The bill that has caused all the uncer-tainty is the one that combined bonding with transportation funding. It provided over $700 million in new money to roads and bridges, but the amendment adding additional funding to rail projects in the metro area throws all that into question. As I write this early Monday morning, it’s not known what will happen next. The Senate was scheduled to go back into session in the afternoon for retirement speeches, but state law prohibits them from passing any legislation on the official last day of ses-sion. So they can’t go back and undo what happened last night.
One of the reasons transportation has been difficult to reach consensus on has been this disagreement over funding for transit in the metro. That dispute came to a head on the last night of session and left a huge question mark about what’s ahead. The bill we passed provided addi-tional funding for roads and bridges, but that’s all uncertain now. Either the Leg-islature comes back in special session at some point if agreement on funding can be reached, or we don’t get bonding and transportation work done this year.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseyfixed-rate mortgage. Twenty-five percent of your monthly take home pay is the absolute most you should have going out the door toward a mortgage payment.
I realize that’s a pretty conservative number in most people’s minds. You can actually, technically qualify for almost twice that figure. But I think having that much of your paycheck going toward house payments is pretty dumb. Your shortest, quickest path to wealth is being debt-free. And when most of your money isn’t flying out the door to make payments on stuff, it’s easy to build wealth and increase your level of generosity!

Dear Dave,My wife
and I are both in our early 20s, we’re debt-free, and we’re just a couple of months away from having a fully loaded emergency fund of six months of expenses. We both also have 401(k) plans at work, and we’re
looking forward to starting additional investments later this year. Right now, we’re trying to decide on which life insurance policies to buy. I know you always recommend term insurance, but how long should the coverage last? Would you suggest 15-, 20- or 30-year policies?
-AnonymousDear Anonymous,
Wow, it sounds like you two are starting your lives together on the right foot. Congratulations on being super smart with your money!
I recommend 15- or 20-year level term policies, unless you have children. I’m assuming kids are not in the picture, since you didn’t mention any. Then, if you decide to grow your family at some point down the road, I’d advise converting those to 30-year term policies. The idea behind this is you want the insurance to be there to protect everyone in the family until the kids are out on their own and established.
In the meantime and in the years after, your continued saving and wealth building will lead you to a place where you and your wife are self-insured.
Way to go, guys. I’m proud of you! -Dave
Dear Dave,Based on your annual income, how do

A land surveyor was tasked with mapping a golf course that was expanding from 9 holes to 18 holes. He needed a stout machete to clear thick brush as he went. Along the way, he came upon a golf club that an irate player must have hurled into the woods. It was in good condition, so he picked it up and continued on.
When he broke out of the brush onto a putting green, two golfers stared at him in awe. After all, he had a machete in one hand, a golf club in the other, and behind him was a clear-cut swath leading out of the woods!
“There,” said one of the golfers, “is a guy who really hates to lose a ball!”

Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force News
On May 24th, 2016, the Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force conducted a search warrant at the address of 32502 CR 1, Le Sauk Township, Stearns County. The search warrant was based on information that a party was hiding at this residence and had outstanding Dept. of Correction warrants for 2nd degree assault. The party was also identified as being armed with a loaded handgun and would be a felon in posses-sion. Further information was received that controlled substances were being actively sold out of the residence, specifically methamphetamine.
Due to the violent history and nature of the suspect the Stearns-Ben-ton County Sheriff SWAT team executed the warrant. The suspect, iden-tified as Lazaro Diaz, 36 yo, no permanent address, fled out a back door as the SWAT team made entry into the residence. After a brief foot chase, a tazer was deployed and Diaz was taken into custody on his warrants. He was later transported to the Stearns County Jail where he was booked.
At the time of the search warrant, several other people were also present including the homeowner, identified as Ted Thomas, 46 yo, of Sartell. Thomas was arrested for harboring a fugitive and transported to the Stearns County Jail for booking. A third party was discovered to have an outstanding Kandiyohi County warrant for felony drugs and was taken into custody. This party was identified as Yolanda-Maria Radzhabov, 27 yo, of Sartell. She was transported to the Stearns County Jail and booked for her warrants.
During the search approximately 1 ounce of suspected methamphet-amine, 2 long guns and a handgun were located in the area that Diaz had been in. Additional charges are expected against Diaz upon review by the County Attorney. During the search warrant County Road 1 was closed to traffic at the Heims Mill Bridge and the roundabout located at CR 1 and 120. Traffic was allowed to pass once the scene was secure and there was no danger to the public.
The task force was assisted by the St. Cloud Police Department SWAT team and the Stearns County Sheriff Patrol division. The Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force is comprised of officers from the cities of Sauk Rapids, Little Falls, and St. Cloud, and deputies from Stearns, Benton, Todd, Sherburne, and Morrison Counties.

a. Mayor Finken stated that staff has been contacted by the Stearns County Auditor’s Office regarding absentee balloting for the upcoming Primary and General Election. The County has asked if the City of Melrose would again assist with absentee balloting. The City assisted the County in 2014. This would require staffing at the City office one or two Saturday’s. Division Director for Service Cen-ters and Elections Dave Walz was in attendance. Mr. Walz stated that in 2014 the City office processed 97 absentee ballots. However this be-ing a presidential election year he would anticipate that number to be higher. Administrator Brethorst not-ed that City staff would be trained and would rotate shifts to assist with the absentee voting.
A motion was made by Mr. Thieschafer seconded by Mr. Klasen and unanimously carried approving the request of Stearns County adding the City of Melrose as an absentee ballot location.
b. Mayor Finken noted that as we have done historically, we have hired a seasonal part-time position to assist with Summer workload. The City has budgeted for this for FY 16. When Ron Tiemann retired from the full-time Maintenance Worker position, temporary sea-sonal worker Allen Wolbeck was moved to part-time Maintenance Worker. This leaves a vacancy in the Temporary Summer/Seasonal Worker position held by Mr. Wol-beck in 2014 and 2015. Because the full-time position of Maintenance Worker became a part-time posi-tion, Streets/Parks Supervisor Gary Middendorf is requesting approval to move forward with the hiring process of a temporary summer/seasonal worker for 24 hours per week to assist with lawn and park maintenance, cleaning, etc. The rate of pay is $10.37 per hour.
A motion was made by Ms. Mayers seconded by Mr. Christen-son and unanimously carried autho-rizing City staff to move forward with hiring of a temporary summer/seasonal worker.
c. Police Chief Craig Maus has obtained two quotes for equipment for the new squad car. Chief Maus is recommending the Council ap-prove the quote from Emergency Auto. The price includes installa-tion. A motion was made by Ms. Mayers seconded by Mr. Thiescha-fer and unanimously carried ap-proving the purchase of the squad car equipment from Emergency Auto in the amount of $8,791.57 which includes installation.
a. Mayor Finken noted that at the February 18, 2016 Council meeting, the Council directed WSB & Associates to develop a Scope of Work for a study to determine the feasibility and cost of replacing the Kraft Wall in cooperation with re-placement of the 5th Ave Bridge. Carl Osberg from WSB & Associ-

ates participated via phone confer-ence and provided an overview on the three proposals that were pre-sented to the Council.
After further discussion a motion was made by Mr. Klasen seconded by Mr. Christenson and unanimously carried for staff to conduct additional research on an alternative retaining wall specifically relating to a rocked slope. This item will be tabled and brought back to the May meeting for further consideration.
b. The Council at its Septem-ber 17, 2015 meeting authorized WSB & Associates to provide Project Administrative Support and Sediment and Settlement Testing of the Melrose Lake Dredging Project. Bob Barth with WSB presented the results of the bathymetric survey of Melrose Lake. From these results, hydraulic dredging is the most like-ly approach to removing sediments from Melrose Lake. The dredging project’s goal is to remove mate-rial to the depth of this interface between muck and hard bottom. The estimated cost to dredge Mel-rose Lake, Southeast Reservoir is approximately $6,024,200 and the Northwest Reservoir $3,753,357. Mr. Barth noted that the next steps would be the following:
• Work session with the City Council and Lake Association to determine the feasibility of pro-ceeding.
• Meeting with the MPCA on dredged materials disposal.
• Determine the scale of the dredging project.
• Identify potential spoil dis-posal site near dredging project.
• Engage in the multiple wa-tershed planning efforts to advo-cate for the dredging project and advocate for pollution reduction projects within the Melrose Lake direct tributary area.
• Begin discussions with vari-ous grant agencies about the feasi-bility of funding all or a portion of the project.
After further discussion a motion was made by Mr. Klasen seconded by Mr. Thieschafer and unanimously carried directing staff to research funding options, work jointly with Melrose Lake Associa-tion to develop a Master Lake Plan, and contact the Sauk River Water Shed District to enlist their support and request they consider heading the project.
At that time the Council, Mel-rose Lake Improvement Associa-tion, and the Sauk River Watershed District would conduct a work ses-sion to determine the project feasi-bility of proceeding.
c. Mayor Finken stated that since June 2015, Connie and Jay Petermeier have been giving con-sideration to the establishment of a dog day-care, dog grooming, etc. facility to serve the Melrose com-munity. Presently, the City’s Code of Ordinances, like those of many other communities, prohibits the housing anywhere within the City of any more than three dogs or cats, a ‘kennel”, excluding when puppies or kittens are born, on a single parcel of property regard-less of its zoning. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Petermeier had asked that the City consider allowing commercial kennels within the City so that they could place it on their residential property. Later, they gave con-sideration to other locations both within and outside of the City for their proposed commercial kennel. Their request to the Council was referred to the Commission at the recommendation of Administra-tor Brethorst although the kennel prohibition is in the City Code of Ordinances and is not a Zoning Or-dinance restriction. It was noted at a MADA meeting on February 4, 2016 that the proximity of kennels to potential new food processing facility locations is a concern to be considered.
Mr. and Mrs. Petermeier withdrew their request from the Commission’s meeting agenda in November 2015 and they had con-flicts for the evening of the Com-mission’s February 8th meeting and were unable to attend. At its February 8th meeting, the Com-mission asked that the regulations of Stearns County regarding ken-nels be researched by staff which was done. The Stearns County ken-nel regulations were presented to the Commission by staff. Stearns
County does not regulate kennels within in a city. However, there are numerous regulations and condi-tions for a kennel to be located in a township, outside of a city, in Stea-rns County. These include the need for the kennel to be located on a parcel containing a minimum of 10 acres, the kennel must be situated a minimum of 100 feet from the parcel’s property boundaries and it must be located at least 500 feet from the nearest residence exclud-ing the owner’s. Based largely on the extensive guidelines of Stearns County the Commission took action stating its belief that animal ken-nels as presented are not compat-ible with anticipated development within the City and did not recom-mend a change to the City’s Code of Ordinances to accommodate them.
A motion was made by Mr. Thieschafer seconded by Mr. Klasen and unanimously carried ac-knowledging and concurring with the Planning & Zoning Commission that animal kennels as presented are not compatible with anticipated de-velopment within the City.
a. Police Chief Craig Maus noted that animal licenses will be issued from May 2-31 at the Mel-rose City Center for residents who own a dog or cat. The Melrose City Code requires the following:
• All dogs and cats six months and older, kept or harbored in the City, must be licensed with a City of Melrose license. A maximum of three domestic animals is allowed on the same premise.
• A valid rabies vaccination certificate indicating the animal has been vaccinated within three years must be presented before a license can be issued. The earliest age to vaccinate for rabies is three months old.
• The license fee for all dogs and cats is $15 if spayed or neutered or $20 if not spayed or neutered.
• The dog or cat owner is sub-ject to a penalty of $5 for late reg-istration and costs incurred for im-pounding the animal. These fees are in addition to the license fee.
• Pet owners are required to clean up animal waste.
• Animals are prohibited from running at large.
b. Planning and Development Director Gary Walz stated that in 2003, the City used tax increment financing and a $100,000 mortgage to assist GCI Builders Inc/Dynamic Investments of St. Cloud LLC with the construction of a 24 unit market rate, multi-family apartment facility at 200 Country Club Road SW. The housing facility is known as Mead-owlark Apartments and the TIF Dis-trict is No. 5. The current owners, who are working with Granite City Real Estate/Granite City Properties, have found a qualified buyer for the facility with the purchase agree-ment being contingent upon the assignment of the remaining TIF increments to the proposed new owner. This assignment requires MADA and Council approvals. The buyer and seller desire an early May closing. The remaining TIF in-crements due the current owner of Meadowlark Apartments over the remaining 10 years of the District are estimated at a maximum of ap-proximately $158,320.43 assuming all conditions associated with the project and the District continue to be met. According to Granite City Real Estate/Granite City Proper-ties, as part of the sale and the requested assignment of the TIF rights and obligations, the current owner proposes to pay off the out-standing mortgage debt to the City of approximately $30,690.27 plus a small amount of interest.
Article IX Prohibitions Against Assignment and Transfer; Indemni-fication of the Development Agree-ment By and Between City of Mel-rose, Minnesota and Granite City Innovative Builders Inc dated Oc-tober 9, 2003 states in Section 9.4 Approvals on page 22 that: “Not-withstanding Sections 9.1 and 9.2, any approval of a transfer of interest in the Developer, this Agreement, or all or a part of the Development Property required to be given by the City under this Article IX may be denied only in the event that the City reasonably determines that the ability of the Developer to perform its obligations under this Agreement and its obligation to pay ad valorem real property taxes assessed with re-spect to the Development Property,
or the overall financial security pro-vided to the City under the terms of this Agreement, of the likelihood of the Minimum Improvements being successfully constructed and oper-ated and maintained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be materially impaired by the action for which approval is sought”.
The prospective buyers are James R. and Mary L. Schwebel. Mr. Schwebel is a partner with the law firm of Schwebel Goetz & Sieben. He and his wife own other multi-family housing properties which are operated by an experi-enced real estate management com-pany such as Metroplains Manage-ment Company. In the assignment request, it is noted that the buyer’s “intent is to continue to operate the property as high quality, market rate multifamily housing similar to the way the property has been operating since its inception”. This “market rate” statement does not appear in Mr. Schwebel’s corre-spondence, which is likely an over-sight. The following documents are associated with this request:
• Revised assignment request dated April 12, 2016 from Granite City Real Estate .
• Correspondence/Introduc-tion from prospective buyer James R. Schwebel dated April 06, 2016.
At its meeting on April 14, 2016, MADA reviewed the re-quested TIF assignment from GCI Builders Inc/Dynamic Investments of St. Cloud LLC to James R. and Mary L. Schwebel. MADA took action approving the proposed as-signment and recommending to the Council that it proceed with the transfer subject to the payoff of the existing mortgage balance due the City, subject to the condition that the facility continue to provide market rate housing and that all the necessary documents be properly executed.
A motion was made by Ms. Mayers seconded by Mr. Christen-son and unanimously carried ap-proving the requested assignment of the TIF increments from District No. 5 Meadowlark Apartments from the current owners to the pro-spective buyer James R. and Mary L. Schwebel subject to the facility continuing to provide market rate housing, the existing mortgage be-ing paid off and the execution of the appropriate documents.
1. Approval of the assignment of all rights and obligations con-tained in the above referenced Tax Increment Finance Development Agreement. A motion was made by Mr. Christenson seconded by Mr. Thieschafer and unanimously car-ried approving the assignment of all rights and obligations contained in the above referenced Tax Incre-ment Finance Development Agree-ment.
2. Release of the Authority’s right of reversion contained in the Quitclaim Deed dated November 4, 2003. A motion was then made by Mr. Thieschafer seconded by Mr. Klasen and unanimously car-ried approving the Release of the Authority’s right of reversion con-tained in the Quitclaim Deed dated November 4, 2003.
3. Approval of the assignment of the Assessment Agreement con-tained in the above referenced De-velopment Agreement. A motion was made by Mr. Klasen seconded by Ms. Mayers and unanimously carried approving the assignment of the Assessment Agreement con-tained in the above referenced De-velopment Agreement.
c. Mayor Finken noted that at a recent joint meeting of the Council and Utilities Commission, Director Walz presented Business Develop-ment Project(BDP) #01-12-2016A for Council and Commission re-view. BDP #01-12-2016A is a proposal by Melrose Multi Family LLC, an experienced commercial property and multi-family housing developer, to construct a multi-sto-ry, market-rate apartment facility on the City-owned Melrose River-View Addition site located along the Sauk River Mill Pond directly east of the Melrose City Center.
Unlike previous development proposals for the site which were for condominiums or cooperatives, this one is for a market-rate apart-ment rental facility containing 24 or more rental units. The proposed development to be undertaken by Melrose Multi-Family LLC is

Continued from Pg 10scheduled to be planned between now and May 2017 and constructed between May 2017 and May 2018 with occupancy to occur beginning May 2018. In order to incur the expense and investment associated with planning the proposed facil-ity, the developer wishes to con-trol the property through an option agreement while planning/pursuing its development over the next 14 months. BDP #01-12-2016A has been presented to and received the preliminary support of various City boards and commissions includ-ing the Council, Melrose Public Utilities Commission, Planning and Zoning Commission and Melrose Area Development Authority.
There was general consensus to granting the developer’s request for its acquisition of the property for $1.00. A concern was noted regard-ing the vehicles currently parked on the development site. It was noted by several board and commission members as well as staff that part of the impetus for the City’s acquisi-tion of multiple residential parcels adjacent to the west side of the Mel-rose City Center was the provision of additional city center parking and the provision of additional city/downtown parking if the Melrose RiverView Addition site were to be developed.
The draft option agreement prepared by City Attorney Scott Dymoke, reviewed by City staff, and revised and reviewed by the de-veloper and its attorney contains a schedule of project events/timelines and renewal periods stating July 15, 2016, December 15, 2016 and April 14, 2017 with a closing scheduled for May 15, 2017. At its meeting on March 21, 2016, the Planning and Zoning Commission determined this proposed option agreement and anticipated future sale to be in com-pliance with the City’s Comprehen-sive Plan.
Corey Gerads, a partner of Melrose Multi-Family LLC ad-dressed the Council stating that it is their intent to build a high end apartment complex. One of the challenges of the site will be pro-viding ample parking for the ten-ants and are therefore considering underground parking. The complex would also include amenities such as a community room and/or fitness center. Mr. Gerads noted that they have existing complexes in Sartell, St. Augusta, Paynesville, and Waite Park.
After further discussion a mo-tion was made by Mr. Thiescha-fer, seconded by Ms. Mayers and unanimously carried approving and authorizing the execution of the proposed option agreement for the Melrose RiverView Addition mar-ket-rate apartment project.
The following informational items were reviewed:
a. The following is a list of up-coming schools and conferences: 1) Minnesota Mayors Association Annual Conference in Bloomington MN April 29-30 Attending: Mayor Joe Finken.
b. Utilities Commission’s March 14 Regular Meeting min-utes.
c. Efforts are underway to re-cover and rebuild the St. Mary’s Church. As per the request of St. Mary’s Building Committee, the City has been asked to assist in their development efforts. Specifically, they have asked City Administrator Brethorst to help with grant appli-cations and academic research.

Burnhamville TownshipApril 26, 2016
These are unapproved minutes. The regular meeting of the
Town Board of Burnhamville Township was held April 26, 2016 at the Burtrum Community Center. The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Mike Ber-scheit. Members present include Supervisors: Mike Berscheit, Louis Thompson and Bruce Johnson; Clerk Shirley Hulinsky; Treasurer Pam Throener. Others present: Erv Herdering, Ervin Muellner, Steve & Betty Ruhter, Tom & Bonnie Kue-hne, Chuck Macy, Gary Opatz and Leroy Pohlmann.
The minutes from the regular meeting of March 28, 2016 were approved as presented on a motion by Sup. Johnson. Motion was sec-onded by Sup. Berscheit. Motion passed.
For correspondence the town-ship received letters from census survey to do online, Todd/Wadena County Community Corrections asking for a donation to cover costs of equipment for Sentence to Serve crew, Todd Co. planning and zon-ing, and an update stating that the well testing has started in this town-ship. Sup. Berscheit made a motion to donate $1,000 to Sentence to Serve. Sup. Johnson seconded the motion. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Sup. Thompson to pay all bills numbered 5247 through 5259: Rev. $720.38; R & B $11,418.43; Fire $9,040.00. Sup. Berscheit seconded the mo-tion. Motion passed.
Several residents were in at-tendance to speak about concerns they had of the planning and zoning request for a storage shed business on Swan Lake. The citizens were concerned about traffic on the road, more thefts, and gas in stored items. The area is zoned seasonal/recre-ational and the residents felt this did not meet that designation. The board discussed issue and will send a letter stating we felt the one stor-age shed already there was all that should be allowed.
One resident asked about bid
for clean-up day and board ex-plained bids. He also asked about drainage culvert on Dunlin Rd. Contractor and board looked at drainage culvert and contractor will try to tighten band and fill in a little around drainage pipe. Culvert seemed to be working fine.
Saturday, May 21 was town-ship clean-up day from 9:30 until noon at the Lion’s Park in Burtrum. Prices will remain the same as last year.
Leroy Pohlmann has a field along 160th St. Due to gravel washing and access use, he wants to move a field approach and is re-questing the township’s help. After discussion the township agreed to pay for the 3 foot culvert in the road right of way and a load of class 5 gravel on top.
In the road report contractor will work blading and reshaping the crown of the gravel roads. The road inspection list was reviewed and contractor is working on issues found. The dust control will be ap-plied the same as last year.
The board was contacted con-cerning the rules for the boating access on Little Swan Lake. The board assumed the DNR rules ap-plied, however, the DNR informed the board that DNR rules only ap-ply to State owned accesses. This access would follow the rules of the Trails and Waterways as it is not a state owned access. The board will not make any special rules for this access as there seems to be no fur-ther issues.
Treasurer’s report showed a balance of $123,245.85. Treasurer’s report was approved by Sup. Bers-cheit and seconded by Sup. Thomp-son. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Sup. Berscheit to adjourn the meet-ing which was seconded by Sup. Thompson. Motion passed. Meet-ing was adjourned at 7:58 p.m. Next regular meeting will be on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 7 p.m. in the Burtrum Community Center.
Shirley Hulinsky, Burnham-ville Township Clerk
