Visitors to the Glencoe City Cemetery and First Lutheran Church Cemetery may have noticed stakes set up around the perimeter of the open grass area in the middle of the property.
The stakes are being used in a survey of the area for a potential storm water pond project, not to outline upcoming construction.
City Administrator Mark Larson explained the process is to determine if creating a storm water pond in that area will work and, if so, how.
The pond is a potential piece of the Armstrong Avenue project, the city’s 2016 public improvement project.

Two people were seriously injured in a two-vehicle accident southeast of Brownton on Oday Avenue, near 75th Street, on Sunday afternoon. The accident was reported at 12:53 p.m.
According to the McLeod County Sheriff’s Office, the injured drivers were Christopher Glen Bardwell, 31, of Hutchinson, and Kimberly Sue Johnson, 38, of Granite Falls.
Bardwell was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, and Johnson was driving a 2000 Dodge Durango that was towing a small moving trailer.

Professional Insurance Providers of Glencoe will be lacing up their sneakers for a good cause this month. Staff and family members from the company have created a team to participate in the Twin Cities Walk to End Alzheimers on Sept. 26.
The Twin Cities walk, hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, is one of several in the state. Participants can chose a one-mile or three-mile route through downtown Minneapolis.
