Board chairman unhappy with state over MMR, levy

The anger in Clark Christianson’s voice was obvious Monday night when the Glencoe-Silver Lake School Board met in the Lincoln board room.
First, the chairman of the school board heard the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) would not alter errant data that put a bad light on GSL’s recent Multiple Measurement Ratings (MMR), and then he heard MDE also messed up with the district’s preliminary budget levy numbers that threatened to delay approval of the local levy as required by law.

County Board keeps levy same for 3rd straight year

For the third straight year, McLeod County will not increase its property tax levy.
The Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, Sept. 4, approved a preliminary levy of just over $18.29 million, the same as it has since 2011.
At a budget workshop in late August, the County Board had heard that it would need to use about $88,000 in reserves to keep its general fund levy the same as the prior two years.
At the Sept. 4 meeting, McLeod County Auditor-Treasurer Cindy Schultz said her department had made further line-item adjustments, which reduced the amount of reserves needed to $65,537.

'Snowbird' ordinance gets second reading on 3-2 vote

Glencoe City Council last Tuesday, Sept. 4, approved third and final readings on an illicit discharge ordinance and an amendment to its ordinance on ATV use in the city.
But it took a 3-2 vote to get a second reading for a controversial “snowbird” ordinance that would ban all parking on city streets from Nov. 1 to April 1 between the hours of 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., or until the streets are plowed curb-to-curb.

City works on lease to put FSA in City Center

The city of Glencoe and the U.S. Department of Agriculure and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) are in negotiations over FSA’s possible move to the Glencoe City Center.
The proposal would be for the FSA to take over the first floor of the west side of the west wing of the City Center, part of it currently occupied by the Glencoe Chamber of Commerce. The chamber office would be moved to the building’s basement and into the former community education office area, also on the west side of the City Center.
