substantial flood damage. They included Pine Island, Oronoco, Mazeppa, Zumbrota and Mantorville. One dam was lost, resulting in the permanent removal of a lake. The study grew out of a Minnesota State University Mankato
civil engineering senior capstone project during the 2011-12 academic year. After that project, the Minnesota state legislature awarded a $50,000 grant (one-tenth of the estimated professional cost) for the study on September 24,
2012, to Minnesota State University Mankatos Water Resource Center, under the auspices of the states Department of Natural Resources. Fourteen Mankato students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, worked on the project and evaluated 150 miles of river.
The Zumbro River Flood Mitigation Study is an effort to model the Zumbro River and its tributaries, providing an evaluation tool regarding potential features of flood protection for the communities along the Zumbro River that were affected in a September 2010 flood or previous events. This model will assist communities in examining options for flood protection features to limit the effects of future flooding events. The Zumbro River flood of September 2010 devastated about 20 communities, including Rochester. Many communities sustained

City employee Steve Oelkers discussed problems with parking and snow removal. Currently, parking is not allowed on any city street overnight from December through April. Some vehicles are not moved when it snows, resulting in tickets and towing. The city is struggling with how to word an ordinance so people know what is in effect. The city is considering language stating that if it snows all vehicles need to be moved off the street. A motion by Novak for staff to prepare wording for signage for the council to consider carried.
Krause said he was opposed to the city not taking action at this time, because the businesses in that area were suffering and the council should consider their value to the city. Mayor Steele said without that agreement in place the city could be throwing away money unnecessarily. Steele said it was in the best interest of the city to wait for that agreement from MnDOT. In regard to those business, Mayor Steele requested an item on the agenda to obtain a billboard directing traffic to exit 68 for businesses during construction. It was noted that there could be legal restrictions in doing this, therefore nothing further was discussed.

Weis said the state patrol has no business issuing tickets in the city. Mayor Steele said law enforcement from other agencies has authority to write tickets during the Click It or Ticket campaign. Weis disagreed. Steele and Novak said Weiss complaint should be with the state patrol, not the city. Several teens attended the council meeting with questions regarding the BMX bike track at the city park. One teen asked if the city could provide for more trash cans for them to help keep the area clean. Steve Oelkers said to talk with him and he could get the kids what they need. About 90 volunteers from St. Paul Lutheran Church will be doing volunteer work throughout town, including at city hall and Evergreen Place. The city was thankful for their efforts.

For nearly five years Ive been watching with increased bewilderment President Obamas emerging policy as it applies to radical Islam. The final chapter has certainly not yet been written, but Im convinced that his preference is for increased chaos in the Middle East and, when he can do it, implicit support for the radicals. I realize this observation will not go down well with many readers, but lets review some of the evidence, in somewhat chronological order. In early 2009, President Obamas first address to the Muslim world was made in Cairo, Egypt. The tone of the address was to reach out a hand (not a fist) to the Muslims. This was interpreted as a rebuke to the previous administrations heavy-handed approach to terrorism (not a suitable word in the Obama lexicon) and the war on terror (also not a suitable phrase for Obama). It was apparent to many, including this writer, that the Cairo address would mainly serve to embolden those who would do us harm, for terrorists have no desire for peace with America. Also in 2009, Iran held presidential elections, but they were rigged, and the outcome favored the radical theocratic incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When the ensuing protests by mostly youthful moderates were forcefully suppressed, the Obama Administrations immediate response was...silence. Heres how David Crawford, writing for The
Undercurrent blog, summed it up in July of 2009: Sadly, for ten days, Obama could not muster even a rebuke. When the crisis deepened and political pressure forced him to take a stand, the criticism he delivered was followed with an immediate concession of Irans sovereignty and a promise not to meddle in its internal affairs. While men and women were being brutalized and gunned down in the streets, the message sent by this administration is that there were irregularities in the election process, which needed to be investigated. The silence was deafening. Our most belligerent foe in the Mideast, Iran, was essentially told that the U.S. would not interfere with, nor support democracy in, this dangerous regime. The inappropriately named Arab Spring began, by some accounts in 2010. It spread to Egypt in early 2012, with the deposing of America-friendly (but oppressive) president Hosni Mubarak. What was President Obamas role in this ouster and subsequent election to power by the Muslim Brotherhood, a quasi-terrorist militia posing as a political party? His Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, declared in February 2011 that the Muslim Brotherhood was a largely secular organization, a declaration that raised many eyebrows among thinking observers. And Obama? He threw Mubarak under the bus when he declared that he considered Mubaraks Egypt neither an ally nor an enemy. The perplexing Obama Mideast policy with its disastrous results has continued in Libya (Benghazi), Syria (arming the al-Qaeda-infiltrated rebels), and now, in Egypt again, where he has chosen to give
a pass to the brutal Muslim Brotherhood militia following the military coup that deposed them. A pass, you say? What do you mean? The Brotherhood was democratically elected, and they were forcefully overthrown by the military. Why would Obama not support the Brotherhood? Heres why: Mohammed Morsi, the Egyptian leader of the Brotherhood, unilaterally set about changing the constitution and set himself up as dictator. The Brotherhood, which had in the past tried to persecute the Coptic Christians, but who were somewhat thwarted by Mubaraks regime, now have launched an open religious war against the Copts, burning dozens of Christian churches, destroying Christians businesses, and killing Christians. What has been Obamas response to date? Speaking from Marthas Vineyard, he came down rather nuanced, but slightly in favor of the Brotherhood. He spoke out against the militarys killing of civilians (Brotherhood and supporters), but said not a word in support of the persecuted Copts in Egypt. Now, Coptic Christians are marching on Washington in support of their persecuted brethren: http://www.cnsnews.com/ news/article/coptic-christiansmarch-washington-we-supportegyptian-army Unless and until President Obama takes a stand against brutal Sharia-based terrorists, and decides to name them for what they are and act accordingly, the radical Islamists will continue to spread their depraved agenda throughout the Mideast, and indeed, throughout the world. I am encouraged to see the Egyptian military standing up to them. So are the Copts in Egypt. I would like to see President Obama do the same.

For years, I have been hearing coaches defend team sports (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and other sports) as tools for building teams. My question has been, If team building is so important, why arent there classes on it? Last Tuesday on MPR, I heard the real answer to my question. Before I tell you what I learned, I have a suggestion to all school boards who may be facing programs and teacher cuts. Before you cut one program, or one teacher, cut the extra-curricular activities, especially sports! Yo Yo Ma was presenting at an Aspen Arts Festival on the topic of Arts for Lifes Sake and this is the meat of what he said. ... The performing arts teach collaborative skills, innovation, creativity, flexible thinking, and problem solving skills, all of which are needed in our personal lives and our work lives....
Collaborative skills are built by being a part of a team. Teams work together moving toward a common goal. Imagine an orchestra, a band, or a choir, playing or singing music. Each member has to learn to keep time to the music, watch the leader, and be aware of the other members. On a music trip, one college professor told the choir that they should sound like one voice. Everyone holds the note the same length of time. Everyone breathes together. This is what a team learns to do. Innovation is the ability to make a musical instrument or voice do things beyond a single note. I have heard musical groups (small ones) where each singer can sound multiple notes at the same time. One can get strange and unusual sounds out of a string instrument with the right equipment. Writing music is wonderfully creative and usually hard work. Music involves knowledge of mathematics in the building of chords, in the rhythms, and in the sequences of patterns of notes. When a writer understands the math involved in the music, writing new music becomes easier and has better quality. Creativity can also occur

mer league. Kenyon-Wanamingo came back from a team camp and they looked very sharp. Lets face it, the HVL is a dang tough conference, pointed out Coach Liebenow. Caledonia advanced to State last year, but the Warriors lost a number of good players to graduation, as did Stewartville and Kasson-Mantorville. We hope to be in the mix in both the conference and in the section. We have a very attainable goal of making it to the Civic Center, have a record above .500 and to be in the top four in the conference race, Coach Liebenow concluded. The Cougars will play in the Rochester Century Invitational on Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. ZM will host Kenyon-Wanamingo on Tuesday to kick off HVL play.

niors. Back are seniors: Mikayla Tipcke, Diedre OReilly, Meredith Watson, Jo Ellen Poncelet, Emilee Roschen, Kali Ryan, Laurie Pearson, Angie Stehr, Brianna Ryan and Mikayla Miller; junior: Shelby Hinsch; and sophomore: Michelle Hadler. Pushing hard for court time are non-letterwinners Kate McNamara and Alex Donahue. The Wildcats lost three seniors to graduation in Alyssa Pasch, Ashlyn Stecklein and Sharece Hahn. I am blessed with this team, said Coach Mace of stepping into a coaching position with so many experienced players on the roster. We have a great crew that works well together. Goodhue has a very veteran team. Tipcke and Miller joined the varsity lineup as freshmen, while Watson, Roschen and Ryan saw starting action as sophomores. What the Wildcats lack is size. Hinsch is the tallest player at 510, with the rest of the squad 58 or smaller. A lot of these girls jump well. Kalli Ryan is just 56 but we have her in the middle. She is quick and she
jumps well. I have a lot of faith in her, remarked Coach Mace, who added, that Meredith Watson will go from middle hitter to the outside this season. Right now we seem to be lacking that scrappy play we need. We have been working hard on defense and getting to the ball. We are starting to come around, pointed out Coach Mace. Kasson-Mantorville (13-0) edged Stewartville (12-1) for the HVL title last season with Cannon Falls (11-2) placing third and Kenyon-Wanamingo fourth (103). The Cats placed eighth out of 14 teams. Wabasha-Kellogg has dominated East Section 1A, and Bethlehem Academy ruled in West Section 1A in post-season play. WK won the state title in 2011 and BA was the winner in 2012. Both are expected to field very tough teams again this season. We have set a number of team goals and one of them is to be right near the top of the HVL conference, said the new Cat skipper. The Wildcats will open their home schedule on Tuesday when they host LaCrescent. Varsity matches are scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m.

Goodhue, MN 651-923-4441 Lodermeriers.net ness. We would tend to get down after giving up three or four points last year. We are working on that mental toughness with some drills in practice. Kasson-Mantorville (13-0) edged Stewartville (12-1) for the HVL title last season with Cannon Falls (11-2) placing third and KW fourth (10-3). We want to be in the top half of the conference. Kasson-Mantorville and Cannon Falls will both be very good and, while Stewartville graduated a lot of starters, they have that tradition. You just have to be ready to play every night. The HVL is always tough, pointed out Coach Nerison. The Knights will make the move to Section 2AA against the likes of Waterville-Elysian-Morristown, Watertown-Mayer, Waseca, Tri-City United, Sibley East, St. Peter, Norwood Young America, New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva, Maple River, Jordan, Holy Family Catholic, Glencoe-Silver Lake, Blue Earth and Belle Plaine. The only team Im familiar with is WEM, said Coach Nerison of playing in the new section. The Knights will take part in the Rochester Century Invitational on Saturday beginning at 8 a.m.. KW will play at Zumbrota on Tuesday and host Triton on Thursday, Sept. 5

Marilyn Johnson 1923-2013
and Gilman H. Johnson were united in marriage at a small ceremony on the Johnson family farm in rural Wanamingo. They resided there until Gilman joined the Navy, and they moved to Seattle, Washington, and finally Norfolk, Virginia, before separating from the service. They returned to the family farm in 1946 and ultimately moved to Pine Island where Gil found employment as a mechanic with the local Chevrolet dealership. In 1953, Marilyn and her family moved to Zumbro Falls where she worked as a homemaker, a babysitter and a sales clerk at Daytons in Rochester. In 1962 they moved to Rochester where they resided until June of 1964.Then they moved to the Chicago area where Gil found work with Volkswagen of America and Marilyn worked as a sales clerk in a department store in Wheeling, Illinois. Upon returning to southeastern Minnesota in 1966, they resided in a number of communities, including LaMoille, Lake Sakata, Mazeppa, Zumbro Falls, and Lake City. Marilyn, always capable, found work in a La Crosse hospital as a floor secretary, and her last position was at Rochesters Crenlo Corporation in the Human Resources department as a secretary and HR interviewer. She retired in 1991 and found joy in the pursuit of her favorite pastime, collecting anything that caught her interest by attending auctions and garage sales. Gilman, the love of her life, passed away in 1992. Marilyn returned to Rochester in 2004 living independently until her ill health required nursing care. She is survived by her son, Lance (Nancy) of Rochester; four grandchildren, Mark (Melissa) Johnson of Grinnell, Iowa, Thor (Danice) Johnson of Dunkerton, Iowa, Kristin (Ryan) Woytassek of Jordan, and Reid (Sarah) Johnson of St. Paul; six great-grandchildren, Tyler and Jackie Johnson of Grinnell, Iowa, Hannah and Zack Johnson of Dunkerton, Iowa, and Victoria and Raina Woytassek of Jordan; two brothers, Henry (Jan) Lewis, Jr. of Mora, and Carlton (Carol) Lewis of Manitowac, Wisconsin.

Goodhue Area Historical Society serves ice cream sundaes
By R.D. Aaland GOODHUE On Saturday, August 17, from 3-6 p.m. the Goodhue Area Historical Society and Museum offered ice cream sundaes to all of their guest. The ice cream was a donation from Dave Betcher, a member of the historical society. A large number of people ventured down to the museum after leaving Goodhue Schools 100th anniversary celebration. A decision was made at the societys annual meeting in March to build a 48' x 84' addition to the museum, making it an L-shaped building. Plans have been drawn and estimates secured. At present, the plans are for a concrete slab building to be used for cold storage. The need for the addition has become very apparent to the board, because the community has been very generous in donating artifacts to the collection. At this time they have many artifacts stored off site until space becomes available. The approximate cost, at this time, will be $110,000 with the board

The Core
By Pastor Gary Basinski New River Assemby of God Every religion and every person has a core set of beliefs or values that they stick to. Whether those all match up or not is a different issue, but every person has something that they live their lives by. That doesnt mean that it is faith-related, but we all have something. For me as a Christian, something I believe that is a core value and drives my life is that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and he was crucified and three days later he rose again for me! Many other religions have a belief in Jesus Christ. But that is where the similarities stop. For us, we believe the entire word of God, whether it has to do with the deity of God, or whether or not we should dedicate or baptize babies or something simple like the Ten Commandments. We believe what the word teaches us as a whole. We do not take parts and try to fit it into a certain set of traditions or beliefs, but we really do take the word of God for what it says. And
a big part of that is that Jesus came to die to pay the price for our sins and rose again to defeat death, hell and the grave. Because of what Jesus did we have the opportunity for eternal life in heaven with God! But this is a choice that each person has to make. You can read Luke chapters 23 and 24 if you want more details of this happening. This is so personal to me because I came to the realization a long time ago that I sinned against God and because I sinned, someone had to pay the price for that sin. Either I had to or someone had to. Here is the kicker: depending on who we sin against the price for that is either lesser or greater. For example, if I tried to punch the president I would most likely find myself getting shot. How much greater is the creator of the universe than the president of the United States? Only the son of God could pay the price for us. No one else could stand in His place; an eternal price had to be paid for an eternal sin. And that is why I believe in Jesus Christ. Because not only did he die and pay the price for me, but he rose again and is now alive and sitting at
the right hand of God in heaven. And when I pray He actually hears me because He is alive. You see the tomb that Jesus was buried in is actually empty, you can go to it! This is history, not just another story that someone made up! This is fact. It is not arguable. The empty tomb is a fact; what certain religions differ on is who Jesus was. Muslims think he was just a prophet who was sent by God, but then the price for our sins still would not be paid and we would be waiting for a savior. I want to encourage you no matter your church or religious background to seek out the truth. Find a church that stands on the Bible, that doesnt rely on church tradition or past philosophies but rather is truth-based on Jesus dying for you and me and paying an amazing price for all our sins. What are you going to do with the grace that the creator of the universe is offering both you and me? If you have questions please do not hesitate to call the church at 507-723-5156 or you can email me at gary.nragz@gmail.com or just stop on by. We are located on Third and Main Street in Zumbrota. God bless!

Pine Island/Oronoco Proposed Pine Island budget and levy for 2014 approved
By Alicia Hunt-Welch PINE ISLAND Finance director Jon Eickhoff presented the proposed 2014 budget to the Pine Island City Council for review at the August 20 meeting. The proposed budget totaled $3,077,277. Eickhoff said that during planning a few things were assumed. The transfer to capital equipment would be the same. It was recommended by the councilors that large purchases not be considered. Eickhoff said a new computer server is needed. The staff is working to get it tuned up, but a budget of $10,000 has been outlined for this need. The proposed budget includes 2% wage increases for staff. Wages and benefits are also included for some additional staff at city hall. Eickhoff said that due to position and duty changes, a large number of tasks have gone uncompleted. Staff reallocation was attempted but Eickhoff said it has not worked well. Funding for the library is $300 more than last year. Public Works was cut last year by $50,000. This is the amount of work that has been done so far this year. If the council wants more work done next year, then this line item will need to be increased. The water fund would stay even. The sewer operation will need to use some of their fund balance to cover operational costs without increases to users. The city expects to get slightly more in local government aid next year than they did this year. Eickhoff presented a fund balance history for the city and said spending has decreased. The levy would be identical to this year, at $1,538,094. The debt service funds related to paying back bonds for street projects and such went down slightly. Legal counsel was hired on behalf of the city by the League of Minnesota Cities to address problems with the digester at the wastewater plant. The digester was damaged from excessive flow on Memorial Day. An insurance claim was submitted for the damage. The LMC is helping to address this issue. Councilman Randy Bates said to keep in mind that the city is dipping into the fund balance to pay bills, as the council cut taxes last year. A proposed budget and levy amount for 2014 needed to be approved that night so the city could certify the amounts with the county. The final levy can be reduced before approval but it cannot be increased. City employee Steve Oelkers was concerned about the council approving a proposed levy that could not be increased when Eickhoff has not had discussed needs with department heads. Eickhoff said if the council wants to hold the line on spending, those needs are difficult to consider. The proposed budget for 2014 was approved by the council. They also certified the proposed levy at the amount presented. A public hearing on the 2014 budget and levy was set for December 17 at 7 p.m.
Public Works report
Steve Oelkers said sidewalk was replaced by the school. The wastewater treatment facility digester work will start in September. There are plenty of holding tanks to store waste and therefore there will be no impact on citizens during that process. Evergreen Place, the 20-yearold assisted living facility owned by the city, is undergoing repairs to the building. A storage unit was also constructed for the property. Oelkers said city water well #3 is off line and being worked on. The other wells are functioning fine and are maintaining usage to the city. Trash needs to be picked up near the flood buyout properties. Of the six public works employees, three are taking additional testing to be wastewater treatment certified operators. The goal is to have all staff trained and certified so an outside contractor is not needed.

At about 8:30 p.m. the room was cleared for the council members to conduct a closed session meeting regarding the East Frontage Road land acquisition.

The board approved these additions to the fall coaching roster that were recommended by Activities Director Craig Anderson.

The board accepted the resignation of Carl Hebl. Board Chairman Jeff Leland said, We want to thank her for nine years and many long hours of service to the district. Her position has been listed for applicants. Superintendent Tammy Berg-Beniak estimated that it would take two weeks to fill the position. Todd Netske of School Management Services gave a presen-
tation of services the company offers as consultants in school finance. The company has grown to manage 28 districts since 2006. If contracted with the school district, he would be on-site twice weekly. In the boards discussion, all agreed the district needed a full-time on-site manager. The board considered hiring Region V or Springsted to consult for the business office duties until a new manager is hired. They approved hiring Region V. Region V is familiar with the Smart Finance technology system in use in the district and human resource services. The school district is preparing for the audit.
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a federally recommended program that is designed to enhance academic and social behavior outcomes for students school-wide. It empha-
sizes the use of data to support a schools decisions about developing and monitoring the progress of behavioral practices; and forming an organized, consistent plan to improve teaching behavioral expectations to students. Amy Northrup presented an update on PBIS in grades K-8. Pine Island received a grant to implement PBIS in these grades. Next year PI High School can apply for a grant. Northrup said there are currently 22 PBIS schools in Minnesota. It is a 3-5 year process to implement. At first the hurdles were individualization and inconsistent expectations, behavior methods, follow-through, and rules. Some staff did not have confidence in this approach or want change. Superintendent Berg-Beniak came from a PBIS environment and understands the Stop Think Act Respectfully and Responsibly (STARR) techniques that are
taught to students to manage their own behavior. The purpose of PBIS is to provide a safe, predictable learning environment where all students can focus on learning. The staff development workshop scheduled for August 26 would focus on training for PBIS. Teacher Josh Westphal developed a program for staff to report and record behavior incidents and rewards that is EXCEL based. This will enable more accurate and easier recording of data for reports and monitoring. The goal in K-8 is to recognize and reward at least four positive behaviors for one negative behavior. Last year, students were taught expectations and were rewarded at assemblies each month. This year, assemblies will alternate between virtual and in-person presentations. Eighth-graders will teach K-4 students appropriate behavior. Grades 5-7 sign a large
New K-8 Principal Cindy Hansen reported that there are 122 children enrolled in kindergarten, and more contacting the school to attend this fall. K-8 enrollment is 855. Hansen also reported that the district is piloting using the teacher evaluations from the State of Minnesota. The school is prepared for Project Lead The Way and Ramp Up to Readiness. Ramp Up is a school-wide guidance program designed to increase the number and diversity of students who graduate from high school prepared to be successful in college.

computers are loaded and ready to dispense to high school students next week. The paperwork and agreements with families will be completed at that time. A group of students is receiving extra training to assist their peers with problems and provide some extra support when school starts. The board approved signing the lease agreement for the tablets. The agreement was reviewed by two district attorneys. The staff handbook, updates to the crisis management manual, and amendments to the extra-curricular handbook to include club sports were approved. Activity Director Craig Anderson reported that David Stead of the Minnesota State High School League informed him that the numbers of male and female participants are more important than the number of sports offered for Title IX. In September there will be a report of the numbers participating in weight training for the school boards review.

The draft budget presented at this meeting would demand a property levy sum of $28.2 million, a rise of $1.25 million on the 2013 figure. Even if the board were to agree to such a rise, that figure is impossible. State law limits an annual levy increase to 1.75%, or $475,000. Even for those who find large dollar amounts hard to understand, the meaning is clear there is a lot of hard work to be done before the real figures can be set. A preliminary levy must be set in September, and the final figure must be approved in De-
The board approved the contract for the first stage of the new Highway 24. The new road will run from the new Highway 52 overpass at the south end of Cannon Falls to Highway 25, and provide access for the new Mayo Health Facility now being built. Work will start this fall, with completion expected about August 2014. Funding is in place for the road to continue to Highway 19 east of St. Ansgars Church in 2016. Work has been completed on County Road 9 between Sogn and Dennison, and on County Road 10 east of Zumbrota. The new Highway 168 in Zumbrota is open to traffic between Highway 58 and Highway 52, and work is now on hold until the spring. The bridge on 100th Avenue in Leon Township is completed and open to traffic. The new bridge on the Sogn Valley Trail west of Highway 14 is largely complete, but the road is still closed to traffic. Bids for the 147th Avenue bridge in Roscoe Township will be opened on August 29.

Luke Swanson recently purchased a house on High Avenue. Due to limited garage space, Swanson would like to build a garage in the back yard along the alley, but the alley is unmaintained between High Avenue and West Avenue and currently covered in grass. Danny Benson said if Swanson wanted to build a garage, the city would be sure the alley is plowed in the winter. Rock and gravel would also need to be laid to make the alley usable. The council was willing to reach a mutual agreement with Swanson to split the cost.

Mayor Kevin McDermott, Chair of the Downtown Oronoco Gold Rush Days Committee, said, Thanks to everyone, all the volunteers, because we could not do this without everyone. He said once proceeds for the event are evaluated, the committee will know how much can be donated back into the community. Charlie Fried of the Parks and Trails Committee reported that Peoples Cooperative Service awarded Oronoco a grant for $1,800 to install the electrical service that is now available at the River Park shelter. The basketball equipment that was ordered was received. Nate Hartung volunteered to install the hoops with his company crew. Affinity Plus and its employees in Rochester donated $62 for swings in the parks. An account will be started to collect donations for swings. The City of Oronoco will leave two water accesses at the flood
buyout sites for community gardens. Options are being explored to clear vegetation and more debris from the demolition lots. Palen suggested giving the trees and shrubs to the river restoration project for support materials. He said if Olmsted County is interested, It would be a win-win situation. The committee and Public Works met to determine ways to decrease the costs of building a new city shop. With some modifications in the plans it was determined that the construction could cost $300,000, which is in line with the budget. Nate Hartung will create a working estimate of the costs to compare to bids. The bidding can be separated in for contracting. The repair of the city well is scheduled for early October. The council approved the Public Works Department purchasing a chainsaw and weed eater for $1,500 at state contract discounted price. The council agreed to remove the moratorium on Timberlane Drive when the drainage improvements are completed and an aggregate road is constructed. The council approved the recommendation from Planning and Zoning for the Peoples Cooperative solar facility. There must be landscaping, coded fencing, and the panels must be removed if not in use for 12 months. The council recognized that there is a push for green service. Grant funds are available for Peoples to construct the solar facility now. At a later date these costs could be paid by customers. Joe Palen scheduled a meeting for the City of Oronoco to discuss a regional wastewater treatment facility with the City of Rochester for August 27 at 4 p.m. According to the audit, the City of Oronoco will pay a final bill of $2,510 to the state. The city will receive $66,652 of local government aid in 2014. Last year LGA totaled $28,000. The city received half of the Rochester sale tax, totaling $69,594.64.
