Deadline for pickup is Tues., at 12 noon Remember to Recycle - New Date: April 15, 2015 Council awards bid; lowers assessments By Ken Francis Staff Writer The Clearwater City Council accomplished three necessary goals regarding the North Area Reconstruction Project during Monday’s council meeting. They amended the city’s special assessment policy. They awarded the bid to do the project, and they passed a resolution for the sale of $2,555,000 in General Obligation Improvements bonds to finance the proj- ect. Amending the city’s spe- cial assessment policy was the first step after some residents had taken issue with the council’s intent to award the bid last meeting without knowing how much they would be pay- ing in assessments. Council had already agreed they would use gen- eral fund money and water utility funding to supple- ment the cost and reduce the assessments from 48% to approximately 22% of the project cost. That, and the fact that bids had come in well under the engi- neer’s estimate prompted the council to move quick- ly to award the bid. But at the last meeting in March, resident Dan Niehoff told the council that according to the city’s assessment policy, they couldn’t award the bid until the assessments were determined. After a discussion, the council agreed to table the bid vote until they could get an opinion whether they could award the bid or were required to change the policy first. Monday, Administrator- In-Training Kevin Kress said he had contacted the League of Minnesota Cities. “I asked them do you have to hold the assess- ment hearing and have the assessments ready before you award the bid,” he said, “and they said gener- ally speaking no, because we can amend the special assessment policy as we see fit.” Policy Kress presented the council with a clause in the assessment policy that sup- ported that opinion. The assessment policy is intended to serve as a guide for a systematic assessment process in the city. There may be excep- tions to the policy or unique circumstances or situations which may require special considera- tion and discretion by city staff and the city council. Mayor Pete Edmonson acknowledged the council had the authority to move ahead with the bid and amend the policy later. “So we could walk through with awarding a bid, amending our assess- ments and if by some cir- cumstance, they could be adjusted once again later,” he said. Niehoff said he felt it was still better to amend the policy first. “I would like to encour- age you to keep this (poli- cy) ahead of the awarding of the bid so the residents know how much they’re paying before this process goes so far,” he said. “The sooner you get that to them, the sooner you can put out some of these fires, instead of having angry people through the whole project until you decide when you want to let them know how much the assessments are.” Edmonson said he understood Niehoff’s con- cerns. “I certainly agree with you,” he said. “We’re look- ing to get the information out just as we have in the past here sooner rather than later.” At that point the council had the option of awarding the bid first or amending the assessment policy. Kress recommended changing the policy first. “Actually, I’d like to see the special assessment pol- icy motion go first,” he said. “I think by having our assessment policy changed to the 22% it allows us to do that, to give those num- bers to the public more efficiently.” Councilman Rollie Lange said he thought the council did as well as they could to reduce assess- ments. “We had to charge a min- imum of 20%,” he said. “We’re only two points over the minimum, so I think the motion is very fair for our taxpayers.” The council voted unani- Cheers for the hometown kids Book sale at Library this week City won’t vacate part of Bluff Street THE EASTER BUNNY WAS WAY BEHIND schedule, so it made a few adjustments last week to speed up its visit to Clearwater.

The Bid Then the council voted to award the bid for the project to R.L. Larson Excavating of St. Cloud at $2,043,427. That amount was well below the engi- neer’s estimate of $2.8 million. However, with engineering costs and bond issuance costs plus interest, the total bond the council approved was $2,555,000 still about $300,000 less that the proj- ect might have cost. The $2,555,000 General Obligation Bonds will be 20-year term with an aver- age interest rate of 2.97%. Monte Eastvold of Northland Securities said the sale date for the bonds is May 4. “Between now and May 4, the underwriting com- munity will be alerted that you have a bond sale pend- ing. They’ll be preparing bids and submitting bids on May 4,” he said. “Then it will come back to the council and you award the bid to the lowest bidder.” Bids Continued On Page 2 By Ken Francis Staff Writer Members of the Clearwater City Council agreed Monday it was not in anyone’s best interest to vacate the portion of Bluff Street between Ash and Elm streets. During the last council meeting in March, a num- ber of residents made the suggestion to vacate the street because it was not frequently used and was very narrow. But after researching the proposal and meeting with residents at the site, Administrator-In-Training Kevin Kress and Interim Administrator Derus rec- ommended the street is not a candidate for vacation for a few reasons: * There are five drive- ways in the area serving the properties between Ash and Elm’ * Vacating the street would land-lock at least one property; * The street offers addi- tional access for parking for an apartment building and emergency vehicles; * It is a through street; * There is a historic church on that segment of Bluff Street.

I have been since the late 70’s when one of the play- ers on my high school bas- ketball team was recruited by Duke. His name was Jim Spanarkel, and for those who watched some of the March Madness games, he was one of the sports ana- lysts. He was our high school (Hudson Catholic) all-time point scorer. He won the Duke MVP in 1977-78-79 and was the school’s first 2,000 point scorer. He was inducted into Duke’s Hall of Fame in 1990. He was selected in the first round of the 1979 draft by the Philadelphia 76ers and was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 1980 and played there for five years. He was the first player I knew personally from my hometown, Jersey City, to become a nationally known college player.

Bobby Hurley, another high school standout from St. Anthony’s in Jersey City, was recruited by Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski and played point guard for the Blue Devils from 1989-1993. He helped the team to the Final Four three times and helped lead the Blue Devils to back-to-back national championships in 1991 and 1992 with All American teammates Christian Laettner and Grant Hill, earning Final Four Most Outstanding Player honors in 1992.

was another future NBAplayer, Mike OKoren,who would later play forthe New York Nets.When I was growing up
in Jersey City, I met a fewpeople who would later goon to play professionalsports.Of course, I didnt know
it at the time.Bernie Parmalee was a
running back for theMiami Dolphins and NewYork Jets.John Valentin was just a
little kid from DowntownJersey City who used toplay catch on the street
while the rest of us wereplaying baseball in a semi-pro league.He ended up playing in
the Majors for 10 yearswith the Boston Red Soxand New York Mets.David Rivers, also a bas-
ketball player from St.Anthonys, played forNotre Dame and the LosAngeles Lakers.Willie Banks, a pitcher,
was drafted by the Twinsand played in the majorsfor 12 years. He was amember of the 1991 WorldChampionship team.I had aspirations of play-
ing professional baseballyears ago. But I never gotfurther than semi-pro. So now I make it a point
to root for the hometownkids whenever I can.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,that the Clearwater TownshipBoard will be changing its regularboard meeting from April 13,2015 to April 20th, 2015 Day.The meeting time will remain thesame at 7:30 p.m., at the townhall located at 15015 StateHighway 24, Clearwater MN55320.Jean Just Clerk, Clearwater Township
(Tribune, April 10, 2015)
Your input is valuable tome, and I'd like to hearfrom you about importantissues being debated at theCapitol. If you haven'tdone so yet, please takemy survey by clicking thelink below. Also, don't for-get to share it with yourfamily and friends inDistrict 29B!https://www.surveymon-key.com/s/Oneill2015Patient Safe Zone BillIn the Health and Human
Services ReformCommittee, they held ahearing on my bipartisanPatient Safe Zone Billwhich protects staff,patients and visitors in ahospital, hospice or nurs-ing home.The definition of Patient
Safe Zone would be addedto the sections of law thatoffer additional protectionsin regards to drugs andguns in a "school zone,park zone, public housingzone, or drug treatmentfacility." It would alsoincrease penalties forinmates who, while receiv-ing treatment in a hospital,assault hospital staff. Ifenacted, inmates whoassault hospital staff wouldface the same penalties asassaulting a prison guard.This legislation is about
protecting hardworkinghospital staff, and I ampleased it is advancingthrough the committeeprocess.
Specialty CourtsFunding
In the Public Safety andCrime Prevention Com-mittee, my bipartisan spe-cialty courts funding billreceived a hearing. HF1180 appropriates $1 mil-lion for FY 2016-17 toexpand Minnesota's spe-cialty courts for peoplewith chemical dependencyproblems or mental illness.I believe these courts arenot only a great avenue torelieve the pressure on ourcriminal courts, but alsoturn around the lives ofmany people sufferingfrom a drug problem ormental illness, helpingthem become productivemembers of society onceagain.An estimated 80 percent
of people who go throughour court system have achemical dependency, and60-65 percent have a men-tal illness. These specialtycourts offer an alternativeway to help people con-victed of a crime receivethe mental health care andwrap around services theyneed, and have also provento have lower recidivismrates than our regular courtsystem.
Nursing HomeReimbursementLegislation
In the Aging and Long-Term Care Committee,they heard HF 562, a bill Iauthored to increase theWright County nursinghome reimbursement rateto that of the metro rate.Our county is surroundedby other counties that paya higher reimbursementrate to nursing homes, put-ting us at a disadvantage toattract and retain quality,qualified staff to take careof our seniors.Passing this rate adjust-
ment into law will help ourlocal nursing facilitiescover operating costs, andensure they receive fairfunding. Anne Dirks fromParkview Care Center in
Buffalo and Jason Nelsonfrom Lakeridge CareCenter in Buffalo testifiedon behalf of the bill.Taking care of our aging
adults and disabled is soimportant, and that is whyI am honored to carry thisbill on behalf of the long-term care facilities inWright County.

...we had averted oureyes for far too long, turn-ing away from the uglyreality facing us as anation. Let the world seewhat Ive seen. - MamieTill BradleyIn September 1955,
shortly after 14-year-oldEmmett Till was murderedby white supremacists inMississippi, his grievingmother, Mamie TillBradley, distributed tonewspapers and magazinesa gruesome black-and-white photograph of hismutilated corpse. The mainstream media
rejected the photograph asinappropriate for publica-tion, but Bradley was ableto turn to African-American periodicals forsupport. Asked why shewould do this, Bradleyexplained that by witness-ing, with their own eyes,the brutality of segrega-tion, Americans would bemore likely to support thecause of civil rights.For All the World to See:
Visual Culture and theStruggle for Civil Rights, anationally touring exhibi-tion from NEH on theRoad, runs now through
May 25 at the StearnsHistory Museum. Through a compelling
assortment of photographs,television clips, art posters,and historic artifacts, theexhibition traces howimages and media dissemi-nated to the American pub-lic transformed the moderncivil rights movement andjolted Americans, bothblack and white, out of astate of denial or compla-cency. Visitors to the immersive
display will explore dozensof compelling and persua-sive visual images, includ-ing photographs frominfluential magazines suchas LIFE, JET and EBONY;CBS news footage; and TVclips from The Ed SullivanShow. Also included arecivil rights era objects thatexemplify the range ofnegative and positiveimageryfrom AuntJemima syrup dispensersand 1930s produce adver-tisements to JackieRobinson baseballephemera and 1960s chil-drens toys with African-American portraiture. For All the World to See
is not a history of the civilrights movement, but
rather an exploration of thevast number of potentimages that influenced howAmericans perceived raceand the struggle for equali-ty. Dr. Maurice Berger,
research professor at theCenter for Art, Design andVisual Culture, Universityof Maryland, Baltimore,curated the exhibit, For Allthe World to See: VisualCulture and the Strugglefor Civil Rights. It was co-organized by the Center forArt, Design and VisualCulture and theSmithsonians NationalMuseum of African-American History andCulture. For All the Worldto See has been made pos-sible through NEH on theRoad, a special initiative ofthe National Endowmentfor the Humanities (NEH).It has been adapted and is
being toured by Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA). Founded in 1972,Mid-America Arts Allianceis the oldest regional non-profit arts organization inthe United States. For more information,

Submitted ArticleHouse and Senate
Republicans unveiled theircomprehensive, future-ori-ented proposal for trans-portation in Minnesota: theRoad and Bridge Act of2015 (House File 4). TheRepublican plan invests $7billion more over the nextdecade without raisingtaxes. The ten-yearapproach prioritizes road
and bridge infrastructurethrough:Immediate repair of
roads in Minnesota com-munities.Highway improvements
for commuters and com-merce.Reliable, long-term fund-
ing without raising taxes.Representative Jim
Newberger, R-Becker,issued the following state-
ment after the release ofthe plan:"Minnesotans now have
a clear choice between twodifferent plans: TheRepublican plan, the Roadand Bridge Act of 2015,which prioritizes state dol-lars to address our long-term transportation infra-structure needs, or the plansupported by Democratsand Governor Daytonwhich represents an $8.65billion tax increase onhardworking families,"Newberger said. "We canfix our roads and bridges,and make long-terminvestments without takingmore money fromMinnesotans' pockets.Minnesotans across thestate are tired of taxincreases being the answerto every problem in SaintPaul. Our plan is a com-mon-sense approach that Ithink a vast majority ofMinnesotans will support."

Donation Drivefor Earth Day
I am very pleased toreport to you that most ofmy bills have made thedeadlines. There has beenan absolute flurry of activ-ity here in St. Paul as legis-lators and committeechairs push to get billsheard. Some committeeshave been meeting forhours during the day, thenthey meet again in theevenings until the latehours of the night.Some bills that miss the
deadline may still getpassed this year, if they areadded in later as amend-ments on the house floor orreceive approval from theRules Committee.Our bills need to be heard
in finance committees tomeet the second deadline.There are three items I
would like to share.ALL DAY PRE-K:The governor wants to
send all of our Pre-kinder-garten kids to school. Thismeans that children asyoung as 4 years old couldbe enrolled in governmenteducation programs. Thecost to do this is in the hun-dreds of millions of dol-lars.Many folks from the dis-
trict have asked me how Ifeel about this. Simply put.I do not support a statewideprogram to enforce thenew all day Pre-K move-ment. I have been, andalways will be, a strongbeliever in local control.This decision must bemade in each community.Parents, teachers and elect-ed school board membersneed to make this decision.I also believe that parents
should always have theright to "opt their kids out"if they so choose.Over the course of the
last month I have heardfrom:School officials who do
not want this. They do nothave the resources to han-dle all of these little kids,who are barely beyondtheir toddler years.Parents who are very
concerned and do not wantthis. They are worriedabout losing their rights asparents.Dozens of childcare
providers. All of them haveresoundingly stated thatthey do not support all dayPre-K, as it would elimi-nate a large percent of theirbusiness.
Taxpayers, who believewe have more urgent needssuch as roads and bridges.Again, I cannot support
the Governor's push to takeour little four year-old kidsaway from their parentsand stick them in a govern-ment programs.
LAND BUFFERS:The Governor wants to
create land buffers in ourstate. Simply put, he wantsthe first 50 feet of landbetween any shore line,river, lake or stream, to bedesignated as a buffer zonein order to act as a filter toprotect the quality of ourwaters.We had a hearing on the
house version of the bill incommittee and it is beingheld in committee for fur-ther review. It may end upin the omnibus policy bill.We will know more inApril or early May.I have been getting many
calls and emails about thisissue. Most of the contactsDO NOT favor a statewiderule of a 50 foot bufferstrip.However, there have
been many who DO favorthis.Here is how people from
our district are weighing inon this issue:Farmers and folks in the
Agriculture industry do notlike this. It will consumelarge portions of their landsand could be harmful totheir livelihoods.Lake and river property
owners are mixed. Somewant it, some don't. It isalmost 50/50. Some likethe way the buffer mayprotect the waters. Othersdon't like it because theyfeel it intrudes on their pri-vate property rights.Most Sportsman and
Environmental folks wantthis. I am getting emailsand calls from them sayingthey want to protectwildlife.The bill is not complete
at this time and should besubject amendments.I am waiting to see the
final bill before I decideexactly HOW I will voteon this.I do not have a stake in
this issue. I am not in theAg industry, I do not ownlake or river shore proper-ty. I do not hunt waterfowl.Again, I will continue to
monitor this issue and con-sider the input from the
district. I will vote on thefinal version when itcomes out.I would like to see a
hybrid of this bill thatwould find some kind of abalance to this issue. Onethat would help to protectour waters and respect therights of property ownersand farmers. I do not sup-port a mandated statewide50 foot buffer. A one-sizefits all approach is not thebest way to address thisissue.I really appreciate all of
the input I have receivedon this issue and welcomeany and all comments onthis. Please contact me ifyou haven't yet and wouldlike to share your opinion.Email me at [email protected] or callmy office 651-296-2451.
Power Plants:We expect to be very
active on energy issues thissession. I have personallyauthored 12 bills thataddress our energy issues.Two of my bills, HF# 639has already passed and iswaiting to go to the housefloor. HF #333 has one laststop before it also goes tothe house floor.HF #639 stops MN from
being wrapped up in agiant legal mess overimporting power fromNorth Dakota.HF #333 requires that the
legislature approve anyMPCA plan that has beenmandated by the EPA.My other energy bills are
all focused on reigning themassive expansion of gov-ernment over-reach andwould help to restore a true"All of the above" energypolicy. A policy that wouldprotect our current powerplants as well as explorenew options for supple-mental power systems.Thank you so much for
giving me the honor toserve our district.Jim NewbergerState RepresentativeDistrict 15B311 State Office Building(651) [email protected]
