School board moves forward with maintenance project bonds

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Facility maintenance projects in the White Bear Lake Area School District are getting their next round of funding, this time to the tune of $34 million.

The school board unanimously approved a resolution of intent to issue general obligation facilities maintenance bonds totaling $34,505,000 at its meeting Nov. 14.

The bonds are the latest in a series of bonds that are set to be distributed over several years to fund the district’s long-term facility maintenance projects.

Tim Wald, assistant superintendent for finance and

operations, said during the meeting these bonds were factored into the original tax impact statement before district voters passed the $326 million Building Our Future bond referendum for broader district facility changes in November 2019.

The $34 million bond issuance will fund various updates at the high school’s North Campus. Those will include accessibility upgrades related to sinks, counters, drinking fountains, doors, restrooms and the elevator. Other maintenance improvements will consist of mechanical, plumbing and electrical infrastructure replacements.

The maintenance work will occur over the next several years, according to Wald.

“We have a pretty aggressive 10-year plan to address the maintenance of our buildings. The signifi-

cant amount of maintenance of the 17 buildings that we operate — it’s almost impossible to tackle it all,” Wald said.

“We're happy that within our Building Our Future bond referendum, we're able to tag some of those deferred maintenance projects. Our buildings should be in pretty good shape for a good long time.”

School board Chair Jessica Ellison referenced page 108 of the meeting packet, where the bond’s maintenance projects are listed on the right side under the fiscal year 2023 box.

“These are the things that we don't always see on a day-to-day basis but that need to be done. These types SEE BOND FUNDING, PAGE 2

The ballfield projects include improvements to the three existing softball fields and the addition of two baseball fields. He referenced a rendering showing a bird’s-eye view of what the athletic fields would look like following the project.

“All the ballfields will have fencing and dugouts.

Between the baseball and softball fields, you see a sidewalk and that’s new.

That’ll allow access to all the ballfields and handicapped accessibility to all of the fields,” Wald said.

In the middle of the ballfields will be four new batting cages and storage buildings. The latter will

• Received a presentation from Alison Gillespie, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, regarding the 2021-22 World’s Best Workforce Summary and Achievement and Integration Progress Report. Key findings included: - 9% of preschool stu-

dents need intensive early literacy support, an improvement from a target of 25%.

- 53.1% of third graders meet or exceed Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments reading scores.

- 20% of students in the class of 2022 completing four college and career readiness classes.

The work on the ballfields is scheduled to mostly be finished next summer.

In other action, the school board: • Approved two proposals for course changes for the 2023-24 school year.

The first is changing advanced placement microeconomics to instead be a college-level principles of microeconomics course through the University of Minnesota. A White Bear Lake teacher would lead the course, so students would have concurrent college enrollment and earn four college credits.

The other course change was to streamline the enriched and general

OPINION www.presspubs.com

Midterm elections over

NOVEMBER 23, 2022

A

RE THEY REALLY over? It looks like there are several races too close to call on the national level. In the House of Representatives Republicans have been declared winners. Minnesota’s Tom Emmer will be the House Whip. In Georgia there will be another election to make the final decision for the Senate.

Minnesota has gone totally DFL with the governor reelected, and the Democrats will be in control of the House and Senate.

A lot of money has been spent on the midterm elections and the election advertising on TV nearly caused us to wear out our remote controls trying to switch channels.

I think Trump was the biggest loser, as his support of Repubcandidates in large part About the lican failed. The predictions of a red wave didn’t happen. He needs Town to step aside, but I know he will Gene Johnson find that difficult. The Republicans need to reorganize without Trump.

Governor Walz has a large budget surplus and with the support of both the House and Senate, a lot of their initiatives will be underway.

An important one will eliminate Social Security as an income to pay Minnesota tax on. The large budget surplus can also be used to lower tax rates. After all, Minnesota is a very high tax state ranking 45th of 50.

Governor Walz has plans to distribute some of the surplus to Minnesota residents. I think more should be used to reduce our tax rate.

I think it’s ideal when governments are split and not controlled by one party altogether. That isn’t what the voters have chosen. Elections are a key part of a democracy and through this election it seems to have functioned adequately.

Minnesota’s Constitution deals with the issue of abortion. As far as the economy, while threats of recession remain strong, there is a continued concern of worker shortages. Inflation is showing signs of slowing, but it’s still increasing faster than wages. That is a tough issue for business, whether large or small, to maintain an adequate staff.

Even government offices are suffering. In the last couple weeks, our mail has not been delivered to the Press office on two different days. We are dependent on it for news and information that we need to process.

Other areas of government are short of staff, whether it be in the area of policing or government forms that need processing. It takes people to do it and there is a major shortage.

Voters in Independent School District 624 in White Bear Lake once again approved the 10 year capital project levy. This will provide $2.6 million annually for technology-related services.

The election brought about something quite unusual in the Birchwood mayor’s race. Margaret Ford, a retired attorney, won the race with 46% of the votes as a write-in candidate. She used a question and answer video posted on her website and as a result won the election. Ford comes to the role as mayor with a lot of experience in different areas of leadership. She will wield the gavel in early January.

Ballots have been cast and voters have made their decisions. A democracy works.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers.

T

Talking holiday eating with U of M

he holiday season is right around the corner, and families and friends across the state will soon be gathering around the dinner table to share a special meal together.

Joanne Slavin, Ph.D., RDN, a professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition in the University of Minnesota’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS), answers questions about how you can make the most of your holiday dining experience.

Movers & Shakers

Q: What is special about holiday eating in MinneU of M sota?

Dr. Slavin: Walleye, wild rice and wild game are all special Minnesota treats that can be enjoyed during the holidays. Load up on vegetables to make sure you get the vitamins and minerals you need.

Pumpkins, apples, nuts and cranberries make eating festive and healthy.

Holiday drinks, especially hot versions, are a fun tradition during our cold winter months. Remember the importance of rituals and family customs in holiday eating, and don’t diss Aunt Eleanor’s jello salad, the white buns that make an appearance at holiday meals or the sweet potato hot dish with marshmallows. Sure, these items don’t meet many of our new nutrition norms, but small helpings of most items can be enjoyed with family and friends.

Q: How has our understanding of “healthy” changed in 2022?

Dr. Slavin: The FDA has recently proposed changes to what food products can be termed “healthy.” If approved, the new language would allow food companies to use the word “healthy” on their packaging only if their product contains a certain amount of food from at least one of the major food groups, such as fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy or protein. In addition, the product would need to have limited added sugars, saturated fat and sodium. However, as a dietitian I believe that calling any one food healthy or unhealthy is skating on thin ice. Many traditional foods that are important in different cultural practices are put in the “unhealthy” category, when in reality no one food should be called unhealthy.

We want to be sure that our overall diet contains all the nutrients we need and no more calories than we should be consuming based on our activity levels.

Q: What food safety measures should I keep in mind this year?

Dr. Slavin: We are fortunate to live in a country where our food safety standards are high and consumers can feel good about the foods they buy at the grocery store. After foods leave the grocery store, consumers can practice good food handling practices to avoid food safety outbreaks. For example, avoid leaving the stuffed turkey sitting out as you watch the football game. Even more important, don’t stuff the turkey at all. Consider cooking the stuffing separately and filling it with healthy ingredients like fruit, nuts and vegetables.

Q: How can I connect with local farmers and producers during this holiday season?

Dr. Slavin: I would love to see more folks connecting with farmers, either by buying a holiday tree, visiting a farmstead to buy local cheese, or going to the pumpkin patch or apple farm. It makes the point that food does not start at the grocery store; there are dedicated farmers that supply our wonderful foods in the U.S. Minnesota is a leading producer of turkeys, but also a leader in regenerative agriculture, including use of cover crops and perennials to make sure that we care about our health but also the health of our soil.

Q: How can I connect with my community and support neighbors who might be dealing with hunger this year?

Dr. Slavin: Food security is a basic right and the Farm Bill invests in many programs to help provide food for those struggling with hunger. But it takes a village to feed everyone, so community partners like religious groups, soup kitchens and food shelves are the important safety nets to make sure our neighbors have the food they need. Many of us do our part during the holidays to donate gift cards to grocery stores and restaurants or spend time volunteering for non-profit organizations that help feed those in need.

The students said they wanted to support My Very Own Bed because of the importance of a good night’s sleep for kids.

“Everyone should have a bed, because some people are still sleeping on the floor, and it’s really uncomfortable,” Matteson said.

The third-place $300 award went to “The One-Wishers,” which consisted of Jacob Heller, Adrian Hamlin, Lauren Estis and Chloe Cassidy. They urged the judges to support the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

One of only two comprehensive cancer centers in the state, the facility’s research focuses on the causes, prevention, detection and treatment of the disease. The center also aims to improve quality of life for cancer patients and share its research with other medical professionals.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A small, rural school in Ghana is getting $600 toward a clean water project thanks to the recent efforts of four Willow Lane Elementary fourth graders.

Alden Chang, Bryelle Cooper, Denver Delaney and Macie Werner won first place for their presentation urging a panel of five judges to support White Bear Lake-based nonprofit H20 for Life.

“They have a water crisis there, so they need help to get clean water,” Delaney said of the Ghanian school, Dodome

Awiesu Community School.

The team, dubbed “The Water Warriors,” was one of 10 groups of fourth graders who participated in the second annual Minnow Tank project Nov. 15. The project is a partnership between the White Bear Lake Rotary Club and the school.

“It’s all about teaching kids about service and community and giving back,” said Jackie Reis, a Rotary Club member who helped organize the project last academic year.

The teams vied for a piece of the $1,500 prize money donated by Subaru, which the judges divided for the top four

teams. The judges critiqued the groups based on their preparedness, enthusiasm, teamwork and creativity.

H20 for Life, founded in 2007 by former Highview Middle School teacher Patty Hall, connects youth with service-learning opportunities to alleviate water crises around the world.

The Ghanian school water project is one of several the nonprofit is aiding.

The Water Warriors said they chose to support H20 for Life because they wanted people around the world to have access to clean and safe drinking water.

They played a brief video of a 15-year-old student at Dodome Awiesu thanking the Willow Lane students for trying to support repair work on the Ghanian school’s drinking water borehole. Hall’s son shot the video while he was visiting the school on behalf of H20 for Life.

The fourth grade class at Willow Lane was divided into small groups based on which type of charity the students were interested in supporting.

Each group started working with an adult community member who coached them as the students prepared their presentations.

The project teaches students how to work as a team and encourage one another while working toward a common goal. It also shows pupils how everybody is able to make a difference for others.

“No matter how much money you have, no matter how good of a reader you are, no matter what — everyone has the power to make a difference in the lives of others. That’s our goal, is to empower them in their strengths and to use them to make a difference in the world,” said Willow Lane instructional coach Leigh Anderson, who spearheaded the Minnow Tank project with the Rotary Club.

The second-place team, “The Mighty Bed Fighters,” earned $400 for their Minneapolis-based charity, My Very Own Bed. The team consist-

Possible suspect information has been gathered from store video. The case is under investigation.

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF

cost estimate was $124,098; and the highest bid of five was $223,197.90 Retired Mahtomedi firefighters will see their retirement benefits increased, after council passed a resolution opting to increase the retirement benefit level for firefighters vested in the Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Plan (SVFRP). The city previously authorized the Mahtomedi Fire Department to join the SVFRP, administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). State statute allows an increase in benefit levels if the plan is fully funded. Council's increase from $6,100 to $6,500 per year of service will benefit firefighters who have completed at least five years of good time service credit. The change will be effective on Jan. 1, 2023.

In an era when fire departments in general are understaffed, the fire department is happy to welcome a new firefighter/EMT, after council approved the status change for a probationary paid on-call firefighter/ EMT. Hannah Campbell has completed the needed EMT and fire training to fulfill the probationary requirements, and Chief Terry Fischer has recommended her promotion. Campbell was sworn in and received her badge

displayed all the classic signs of major intoxication and fumbled around while searching for his driver's license and insurance papers. Based on their observation of the driver's eyes during the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, deputies made him leave his vehicle to perform other standardized field sobriety tests. He failed them all. The driver provided a preliminary breath test sample that registered a bloodalcohol content of 0.192.

A DataMaster test at the station at 3:21 a.m. registered a blood-alcohol content of 0.17, meaning that the subject was driving a motor vehicle at the height of his intoxication levels.

The subject has a prior Minnesota DWI conviction from 2016, which is being used to enhance the current charge.

A Minneapolis man, 33, faces up to one year imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $3,000 for gross misdemeanor DWI, following an Oct. 30 arrest in the area of I-694 and Rice Street.

His maximum sentence could be doubled if he's also convicted of a second charge of gross misdemeanor DWI. This duplicate charge is an enhancement charge due to a previous DWI conviction.

At approximately 1:40 a.m. Oct. 30, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on patrol observed a vehicle whirling around the inside of the roundabout bridge on Rice Street and I-694 while straddling the center lane line.

Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle, as it was unable to maintain a single lane.

During the traffic stop, the driver

in council chambers. The status change is not expected to pose any impact on the city budget.

Users of the Lake Links Trail on the north end of town will have illumination, after council approved the pay voucher for Lake Links Trail lighting to Killmer Electric Co. in the amount of $34,105.

Due to recent issues associated with emerald ash borer, oak wilt and other tree diseases, city staff realized that a discussion was needed to determine who would be responsible for treating or removing diseased trees on city boulevards. The discussion was especially timely, as the city will soon be preparing boulevard trees along Mahtomedi Avenue (STH 244) for upcoming construction. City staff will draft a policy regarding trees on the city right of way and solicit input from the Environmental Commission.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

The Mahtomedi City Council at its Nov. 15 meeting took the following action: Waiting time for pickleballers will be reduced slightly after council approved a professional services proposal from WSB to provide the final design and bidding for the new Wedgewood Park double pickleball courts.

The pickleball courts will be located adjacent to the basketball courts and will include a walkway connection and, potentially, a small seating area. The total cost of the professional services has been set at $15,500.

The city's pavement will be inspected, after council approved a work plan proposal from WSB for the city’s 2022 pavement management program. WSB will continue to implement the city's pavement management system for a cost not to exceed $22,140.

Services will include data management, detailed inspections of pavement on city streets and trails, pavement summary, quality control, pavement analysis and report updates. These tasks will be carried out from May to August 2023.

Council awarded the contract for the Greenwood Ditch Drainage Improvement Project to low bidder Winberg Companies LLC for $150,351.68. The engineer's

WHAT’S HAPPENING

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Lake level continues to drop Mahoney observed there wasn’t much respect for the ADUA in the bay, to which board members agreed, noting it’s important to make sure everyone abides by the rules and no one encroaches on adjoining ADUAs. Docks of White Bear, by Admiral D’s, was reminded that its customers can no longer use the ADUA at Lions Park to the south. Its docks must now be configured to avoid accessing that space as they have freely done in the past, Ganz said.

Their permit was then approved for 300-foot docks and 240 boats.

Ganz said the district is prepared to hire a professional surveyor if there are issues next year to show parties the location of the boundaries. That cost will be billed to marina owners.

Any marina not in compliance with their permit in 2023 will get a letter from the district with a 10-day deadline to fix it. After that, there will be a $700 per day violation fee until they come into compliance.

In other business, permits to private boat rental businesses using city boat launches have been rescinded. Ganz said the city informed the district city code does not allow marine rental businesses at public parks. Two businesses, NPQD Rentals and SilverFinn Kayaking, can no longer use Matoska Park or any other city property to run their rental business.

The board does not meet in December. Its next meeting is Jan. 17.

Catch of the week

Mike McCormick recently caught this 45-inch muskie on a 6-pound test line while fishing for walleyes on Bald Eagle Lake. It was successfully released.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Lake level is down 9 inches compared to mid-November a year ago.

“Not a huge difference, but lower,” observed Lake Conservation District Board Member Mike Parenteau, who monitors levels as chair of the Lake Quality Committee. Lake level was 922.48 feet last week, according to his report.

As a sidenote, the protective elevation for White Bear Lake, set by the DNR in 2016, is 922.0 feet.

The protective level assists the agency in managing groundwater appropriations. It is a water level at or before which the DNR will work with municipal permit holders to modify their water use in order to reduce the likelihood the lake will fall below 922 feet for an extended period of time. It does not mean the DNR will shut off drinking water.

Parenteau adds the lake is getting ready to freeze, as water temperature are at 33 degrees. Last year at this time, the lake was 40 degrees. Parenteau, official ice-in and ice-out recorder, declared White Bear Lake frozen Dec. 7 last year.

At its Nov. 15 meeting, the conservation district also approved Commercial Bay dock applications for 2023.

Permit holders in the bay will be held to a maximum dock length of 300 feet, something Birchwood board member Susie Mahoney thinks will change if the lake

doesn’t get much-needed precipitation by spring.

Another contentious topic, authorized dock usage area (ADUA), was discussed for commercial marinas in the congested bay.

Lake Utilization Committee (LUC) Chair Mark Ganz asked the board to approve a layout for Tally’s Dockside that shortens its south dock from 280 to 140 feet and moves it to the north. The change is to prevent boaters from tying up two to three deep on Tally’s dock and blocking boaters in the neighboring marina, Docks of White Bear, from maneuvering in and out.

The parking issue has been ongoing most of the summer. The district wanted ‘No Parking’ signs posted on the south side of Tally’s dock and the cleats removed, but that never happened.

“The problem is Tally’s dock was right on the ADUA line to the south,” Ganz explained, “so boats were encroaching on the neighboring ADUA.” The LUC feels the solution is to move the dock 30 feet to the north. The board agreed and the motion passed 8-1 (Mahoney voted no).

Mahoney asked why Tally’s wasn’t allowed to extend its docks to 300 feet like other marinas. District Chair Bryan DeSmet replied that the LUC modifications put Tally’s more in compliance with its DNR permit, which limited dock length to 140 feet. “They’ve extended out to 280 feet, we’re trying to bring them back,” he said.

FUR PETS SAKE Thanksgiving foods your pet can — and can’t — eat Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and as you’re cooking up the turkey, stuffing and all the fixings, you may wonder, can I give a taste of any of this to my pet?

• A bite or two of turkey is safe, but avoid the skin and spices. The high fat content in turkey skin can cause pancreatitis, and spices can wreak havoc on canine and feline stomachs.

• Never give your pet cooked turkey bones and make sure the trash is out of reach of your pet. Cooked bones are dangerous and can lead to choking and cause obstructions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Other Thanksgiving foods to avoid include: • Desserts: chocolate is poisonous for both cats and dogs. Also, look out for xylitol, • an artificial sweetener commonly found in ingredient lists • Garlic, onions, and chives: irritate stomachs in small amounts, toxic in large amounts • Grapes and raisins: can cause kidney damage Nuts: can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and pancreatitis Salty snacks: cause excessive thirst and sodium poisoning If you don’t want your pet feeling left out, consider getting them their own treat to celebrate! You can pick up a turkey-based treat from your local pet store or give your furry friend a taste of raw pumpkin or sweet potato that doesn’t include any sugar, seasonings, or toppings.

And the winning name, breed is …

It’s that time of year when we start to put together our year-end lists — where does the time go?

IN THE MATTER OF THE CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN LAND TO: THE DISTRICT COURT ABOVE NAMED The County of Ramsey brings this Petition and respectfully states and alleges: I. That this proceeding is taken pursuant to law in the name of and on behalf of the County of Ramsey, State of Minnesota, by John J. Choi, the duly elected, qualified and acting County Attorney, at the request of the Board of County Commissioners of Ramsey County, as shown by County Board Resolution No. B2021-040, dated February 16, 2021, a certified copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

II. That the County of Ramsey also deems it necessary, expedient, and for a public use and purpose to obtain by “quick take” condemnation under the right of eminent domain the respective permanent easements and temporary construction easements in the lands as described in this Petition, together with all structures, trees, shrubs, grass and herbage to be damaged thereby.

III. In the attached Exhibit B, where a “permanent easement” is identified, the interests being conveyed include all rights necessary for the construction, operation, and maintenance of all public right-of-way and utility uses now known or adopted in the future. Such rights include, but are not limited to, the right: to remove and use all plants, trees, ground cover, and natural growth now existing, or later planted or grown; to permanently grade or alter the grade of the land, and to remove and use all earth and other material not reasonably necessary for lateral and subjacent support; to limit or allow the location, number, and related characteristics of access from the remainder property to the public right-of-way; to store equipment or supplies; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; to remove any physical improvements or fixtures that interfere with its use as a public right-of-way; and to exclude from the area any use or improvement that conflicts with the rights conveyed herein. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained.

IV. In the attached Exhibit B, where a “temporary easement” is identified, the interests being conveyed include all rights of possession and use, for a limited period of time, necessary or incidental to support the related construction project, including the right: to stage equipment or supplies; to access other portions of the construction project; to make minimal permanent alterations to the grade of the land that do not substantially impact the remainder; to remove (and restore in substantially similar condition) any plants, ground cover, or physical improvements; to access, both ingress and egress, from the most reasonably convenient rights-of-way; and to install any temporary improvements. Reasonable and convenient access to the remainder will be maintained. The term of the temporary easement shall be for 24 months beginning on March 1, 2023 and ending February 28, 2025, or for 24 months from the date when granted pursuant to order of the district court, whichever is later.

In addition, the interests identified in this paragraph include the option of the Petitioner to extend the temporary easement for up to two six-month terms to be held consecutive to the original term and to each other at the monthly rate determined for the initial term.

V. Personal property not specifically identified as being acquired, including, but not limited to, fencing, irrigation systems, pavement, curbing, or signage, or trees, shrubs, plants, or ground covering, is not included in this petition, except to the extent the above rights provide for the removal, replacement, use, or repair of such property. It is the intention of the Petitioner to address any claim of damage related to personal property destroyed, removed, lost, or otherwise damaged, but not repaired or replaced in substantially similar condition, in accordance with applicable relocation laws, including Minn. Stat. § 117.50 - .56 or the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and any regulations adopted pursuant thereto.

VI. That the purpose for which said interests in land described in this Petition are being acquired is for the widening, addition to and realignment of County Road B for the purpose of public travel and transportation and related uses.

VII. The taking in this matter is to obtain rights sufficient to support the construction and maintenance of a public highway, including related facilities.

Unless specifically identified, pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, and other easements or interests shall remain in full force and effect and shall only be impaired to the extent necessary for the County of Ramsey to construct and maintain a public highway, and related uses, on the land being acquired.

For any parcel being taken by this condemnation proceeding that is subject to pre-existing utility, pipeline, access, or other easements or interests, the County of Ramsey shall work as needed with the easement holder to adjust facilities to accommodate the construction or to adjust construction plans to minimize related damages.

VIII. It is the intent of the Petitioner that reasonable access, in at least one direction, to the main thoroughfare will be maintained for any remaining interest of a property from which a permanent or temporary easement is taken.

IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, should tests or evaluations undertaken by or on behalf of the County of Ramsey indicate the possible presence of pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous substances on any of the property described in this Petition, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to defer effecting the transfer of the interest to any of the property as described herein for a reasonable time until the County of Ramsey can evaluate whether it wishes to proceed with the taking, abandon these proceedings and dismiss the Petition as to said property, or otherwise respond to such information.

Further, the County of Ramsey reserves the right to recover costs of cleanup and testing and all other damages resulting from the presence of pollutants, contaminates, or hazardous substances on the property described herein, from all potentially responsible parties in a separate legal action.

X. That a party wishing to challenge the public use or public purpose, necessity, or authority for a taking must appear at the hearing of this Court at which the County of Ramsey, as Petitioner, shall present this Petition to the Court and state the objection or must appeal within 60 days of a Court order.

For such other and further relief as may be proper and pursuant to law.

Dated: November 9, 2022 JOHN J. CHOI, Ramsey County Attorney By: /s/ James A. Mogen James A. Mogen, Assistant Ramsey County Attorney 121 7th Place East, Suite 4500 St. Paul, MN 55101-5001 (651) 266-3121 james.mogen@ramseycounty.us Attorney Reg. No. 0309266 Attorneys for Petitioner ACKNOWLEDGMENT The undersigned hereby acknowledges that costs, disbursements, and reasonable attorney and witness fees may be awarded pursuant to Minn. Stat.

Section 549.211 to the party against whom the allegations in this pleading are asserted. /s/ James A. Mogen James A. Mogen EXHIBIT A RAMSEY COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION B2021-040 Sponsor: Public Works Meeting Date: 2/16/2021 Title: 2021 - 2025 Transportation Improvement Program File Number: 2021-037 Background and Rationale: In order to qualify for state and federal funding and to proceed with construction projects, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners must approve the Public Works 5-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a planning document and funding estimates identified in the TIP are reflected in the County’s Capital Improvements Program Budget. Similar programs havebeen developed each year since 1988.

The Public Works Department, annually, prepares the TIP using a collaborative process whereby the County solicits projects and input from area municipalities. Project inclusion in the TIP is based on a cooperative dialogue with municipal and state partners, along with technical analysis and consideration of funding opportunities. While funding limits will continue to challenge program delivery, communication and engagement with municipal partners ensures local needs and prioritiesare examined and addressed to the extent possible.

Projects included in the TIP are also looked at through the lens of the Ramsey County All Abilities Transportation Network (AATN) policy, which prioritizes the most vulnerable users (i.e. pedestrians, bicyclists, people with disabilities) first.

The design, construction and right of way costs identified in the TIP are estimates based on best practices in the industry. The funding landscape for transportation projects can be volatile and the ultimate delivery of the TIP is dependent on future funding levels. Partnering on projects with area communities, bordering counties, the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other state agencies will continue to be a critical way for Ramsey County to get the most from our available funds.

Recommendation: The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners resolved to: Adopt the 2021-2025 Public Works Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

1. Authorize the County Engineer to prepare plans and agreements for all projects identified in theTIP, and to issue solicitations in accordance with County policies and procedures and the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s list of “Pre-Qualified Vendors by Work Type”.

2. Authorize the County Engineer to execute Right of Way Plats and Certificate of Surveys for Highway projects that require the determination of existing right of way for the delineation and /oracquisition of property, for planning studies or disposition of excess County property.

3. Authorize the County Manager to enter into contracts and agreements, and execute change orders and amendments to contracts, supplemental agreements, and agreements related to theexpenditure of TIP Project Funds utilizing County State Aid, Federal, and participating funding associated with the construction of the approved projects in the 2021-2025 or a previously approved TIP in accordance with the County’s procurement policies and procedures.

4. Authorize the County Engineer and County Attorney to acquire temporary easements, permanent easements, fee title, and enter into Limited Use Permits with the State of Minnesota for projects in the 2021-2025 TIP, or previously approved TIP, by negotiation or condemnation.

5. Authorize the County Engineer to approve negotiated settlements for up to $100,000 over theCounty’s appraised value per parcel for temporary and permanent easements and fee title.

6. Authorize the County Manager to approve and execute purchase agreements, settlements, closing documents, Limited Use Permits, and other related real estate documentation associated with County Board approved acquisitions of real property.

7. Authorize the County Manager to approve and execute cooperative agreements and maintenance agreements with cities, counties, the State, and other governmental agencies for their participation in projects listed in the 2021-2025 Public Works TIP or previously approved TIP. 8. Authorize temporary cash loans from the County General Fund to the Road and Bridge Capital Improvement Program fund and the Wheelage Tax fund for costs of projects listed in the 9. 2021-2025 Public Works Transportation Program, or previously approved TIP, and for maintenance project expenditures occurring before bond or wheelage tax proceeds are received pending receipt of Federal, County State Aid Highway, State, participating funds.

A motion to approve was made by Commissioner McGuire, seconded by Commissioner MatasCastillo.

Motion passed.

Aye: - 7: Carter, Frethem, MatasCastillo, McDonough, McGuire, Ortega, and ReinhardT By: Janet Guthrie I, Mee Cheng, Chief Clerk - County Board, duly appointed and qualified for Ramsey County, Minnesota, do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of Resolution B2021-040, passed by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners on 2/16/2021.

On Tuesday morning, November 8, the sun shined bright, but then clouds moved in late that morning.

From that day until Saturday, November 19, clouds ruled the day. During that period I recorded rain, freezing drizzle and nearly 6 inches of snow. You ask, what is the cloudiest period of the year on average?

Mid November. You can’t beat climatology.

Gavin Knutson made the most of his single season as White Bear Lake quarterback after injuries scuttled his junior season. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound senior right-hander completed 78 of 135 passes for 1,339 yards and 11 touchdowns with just five interceptions. Highlights were throwing for 389 yards and two long touchdowns in a 35-28 loss to highly-ranked Stillwater, and going 6-for-9 for 142 yards and a TD in a 27-0 win over Totino-Grace.

“Gavin was a really steady player for us this year,” coach Ryan Bartlett said. “He battled some injuries late in the season, which made us throw the ball a little less than we wanted, but he had a great year for us. He is a smart player and a great kid to coach

MAHTOMEDI — Operational changes months in the making are set to become reality in early 2023 at the Mahtomedi Area Food Shelf.

The nutritional assistance organization, located behind St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church, is transitioning to a self-service model of providing food to people in need who live in and around the Washington County community.

“We're moving from prepacked bags of groceries to allowing people who need food to come in and shop for their own food. We’re calling it self-shopping,” said Lisa Moriarity, who took over as the food shelf’s new full-time coordinator in January.

The food shelf, which has served the community since 1974, offers pantry items such as fresh produce, milk and eggs as well as paper products and toiletries.

“It's really been a staple in this community,” Moriarity said.

So far in 2022, the organization has recorded 390 household visits and has distributed 39.4 pounds of food to each of those households.

It’s also registered 30 new households.

The food shelf’s pickup times each week are from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Tuesday and Thursday, though clients wanting to get food need to schedule an appointment in advance. Clients usually receive a two-week supply of food.

Moriarity said the hours may be expanded once the food shelf switches to self-shopping.

“Most food shelves are not open five days a week. They're just not, because we all need time to get ready and put stuff away,” she said.

“Plus, it's all volunteer run.

That's the other big thing is, other than myself, we rely on all volunteers to serve everyone.”

Additionally, the food shelf funds and prepares 102 weekend meal bags a week for K-12 students in the Mahtomedi Area School District. The bags contain two breakfast items, two lunch items, fruits and protein bars.

“That's a big thing for the community,” Moriarity said.

Twenty-four volunteers help Moriarity run the food shelf. A St. Jude of the Lake parishioner and former food shelf volunteer herself, Moriarity didn’t have previous professional experience running a food pantry and said it took her a while to learn the logistics.

She’s partnering with the Minneapolis-based nonprofit, Foundation for Essential Needs (FFEN), to help the food shelf with its transition phase. The nonprofit has assisted her with the food shelf’s layout and design and provided shopping carts clients will use.

“They go around to different food programs and food shelves and offer suggestions. They've just been incredible, because they have all this knowledge,” Moriarity said of FFEN. The food shelf is closing out 2022 with the return of its Tree of Light and Remembrance ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, at Triangle Park.

During the event, Mahtomedi leaders read names of deceased loved ones that were submitted by community members. A Christmas tree is also illuminated with lights, each of which represents one of the names.

“It's very well attended by the community to benefit the food shelf. It's really a heartwarming thing,” Moriarity said.

The lights cost $10 to purchase, and all proceeds go to the food shelf. The order form is available on the food shelf’s page on the St. Jude of the Lake website. Cash donations to the food shelf also will be accepted during the ceremony.

IF YOU GO What: Tree of Light and Remembrance ceremony When: 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2 Where: Triangle Park, Mahtomedi Details: Community members will honor the memory of their deceased loved ones during the annual Tree of Light and Remembrance ceremony at Triangle Park. Hot chocolate and cookies will be available during the event. Donations will be accepted for the Mahtomedi Area Food Shelf, which is hosting the ceremony. To purchase a light that will illuminate the Christmas tree, visit stjudeofthelake. org/mahtomedi-area-food-shelf.

Jimmy's Food & Drink gets exclusive catering rights at Vadnais Heights Commons

twi9er.com/Vadnais_Heights twi9er.com/Vadnais_Heights twi9er.com/Vadnais_Heights

Jimmy’s Food & Drink is taking over the exclusive catering, marketing, building host duties and cleaning at Vadnais Heights Commons (VHC) on Jan. 1.

According to Assistant City Administrator Kaylin Clement, the city has multiple other independent contractors with various catering, liquor and janitorial vendors whose contracts expire in 2023.

“We are very excited to bring this new process to the commons,” Clement said at the Nov. 15 City Council meeting.

Financial arrangements and compensation are listed below.

• Jimmy’s will be the exclusive company for food/beverage at VHC — ex-

cluding the events already booked for 2023. For those previously booked events (or any that book between now and the execution of the contract), Jimmy’s will service that event at an

hourly rate of $50.

• Jimmy’s will pay the city 15% of all food and nonalcoholic beverages and 25% of all alcoholic beverage sales.

• The city will pay Jimmy’s 15% of the

facility rental cost.

• City staff will have priority for event space use for a select number of events each year, and 1-2 weekly recurring programs. Specific dates will be provided before 2023 so as to allow Jimmy’s staff to book accordingly.

“This is a great opportunity, because we can have a local established business with local employees taking over this,” Council Member Steve Rogers said.

“I think this is going to be a wonderful partnership, and we look forward to seeing all of the wonderful events that will be happening at the Commons,” Mayor Heidi Gunderson added.

Meet the artist behind the Thanksgiving-inspired artwork challenge tradition Press Publications has had in printing a coloring page in the newspaper and having children color it in.

Q. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

A. My 32-year teaching career started in 1962.

Until 1996 I taught art education to elementary and high school students.

During this time, I

Genevieve Strehlow, 6, of Mahtomedi, is the first-place winner of the Thanksgiving artwork challenge.

became involved in community outreach by joining the White Bear Arts Council, which is now known as the White Bear Center for the Arts.

After retiring from teaching, I started the Elementary Artist in Residence program, going into the elementary schools with art lessons.

For over 20 years I have been teaching watercolor painting at the Art Center, I also have given, watercolor work shops throughout Minnesota, Spain and Italy.

Q. What does your work aim to say?

A. My paintings express the uniqueness of transparency of watercolor compared to opaqueness of oil and acrylic paintings. I am drawn to subject matter that has an interesting light/dark pattern that am challenged to capture.

I like paintings that reveal the artist brush strokes, arrangement of design, and expression of mood.

There are three simple goals for me to paint, 1. the challenge 2. Expression through paint and design and 3. Sharing of one’s work.

Q. Where do you get your inspiration?

A. My inspiration comes from the challenge I see before me, staring at a blank sheet of paper, analyzing the scene before me. It’s not what is before me, but what I see in my mind I see as a pattern, of light, dark and color.

Q. Where can readers find your paintings?

A. I have paintings at the Art Preserve Gallery in White Bear Lake and at my home.
