The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, Dec. 7,
voted 4-1 and approved a mo-
tion to hire KMA Design &
Construction, Gaylord, to
produce construction draw-
ings and specifications for the
Senior Citizens Building re-
modeling project.
Members of the Parks
Committee and Arlington
Lions Club have discussed
the remodeling project at
their recent joint meetings.
The Arlington Lions Club
is working on a grant that, if
received next summer, would
cover a good portion of the
overall cost, according to
City Administrator Liza Don-
abauer.
The City of Arlington
would cover the remaining
expenses of the remodeling
project which is estimated to
cost $75,000-plus.
If the Arlington Lions Club
does receive the grant, the
goal is to complete the re-
modeling late next fall.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Hei-
land, James Jaszewski and
Jennifer Nuesse all voted in
favor of the motion.
City Council member
Galen Wills voted against the
motion. Wills said the build-
ing was originally construct-
ed as a ice warming house
and senior citizens building.
The proposed project is get-
ting bigger than the City
Council had originally
planned.

A lot of people estimated the
size of the crowd at 8,000-
plus spectators. Santa and
Mrs. Claus waved to the
crowd during the parade
which featured nearly 110
units. Prior to the parade,
there were a variety of activ-
ities featured on Main
Street. (Right Photo) Elliott

“She gave birth to her
first-born son and wrapped
him in swaddling cloths,
and laid him in a manger,
for there was no place for
them in the inn.” Luke 2: 7
This Advent season visit
the Drive-By Living Nativi-
ty. Experience the joy of
what it was like for the holy
birth on that night in Bethle-

to this Christmas tradition at
the Sibley County Fair-
grounds in the northwest
corner of Arlington from
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sun-
day, Dec. 13.
The community started
the Living Nativity tradition
several years ago. Actors
and live animals depict
events leading to the birth
of Jesus in Bethlehem. Peo-
ple will see Gabriel giving
the news to Mary that she
will bear a child. Shepherds
are in the field watching
over their flock of sheep.
Angels herald the birth. The
wise men travel from afar
following the star. The
innkeeper and stable boy are
with the Holy Family after
the birth of the Christ Child.
Read the Bible verses aloud
and observe each scene.
Viewers are asked to enter
the fairgrounds off Chandler
Street. All cars will be exit-
ing on County Road 9. A
greeter will give people a
handout. Food donations for
the food shelf and cash do-
nations will be accepted by
volunteers.
This event is sponsored
by local churches and
Thrivent.

weather, listen to KNUJ

Drive-By Living Nativity is Sunday night
By Kurt Menk
Editor
There was one resident in
attendance as the Arlington
City Council held its annual
Truth In Taxation public
hearing on Monday evening,
Dec. 7.
The City Council, a few
months ago, had unanimously
adopted a resolution to ap-
prove the preliminary 2015
tax levy for collection in
2016 to a 7.5 percent hike.
The City Council, after a
few workshops, has trimmed
roughly $35,000 out of the
budget since September. The
revised tax levy would only
reflect a 2. 96 percent in-
crease.
The City Council must
adopt a final tax levy be-
tween Monday, Dec. 14 and
Friday, Dec. 25.
Rate Increase
The City Council held the
first reading of Ordinance
304. This is an ordinance re-
pealing and replacing Ordi-
nance 273 and establishing a
storm water drainage and au-
thorizing the imposition of
storm water drainage.
In order to meet debt obli-
gations and to plan for future
repairs to the city’s aging
storm water system, the City
Council plans to adopt an in-
crease in the storm water rate
structure.
After the second reading is
held and a resolution is
adopted at the next regular
meeting, residential cus-
tomers can expect to see a $2
per month increase in their
storm water rate. Their previ-
ous rate was $4 per month.
All other accounts will be
charged according to the size
of their property. That means
that multi-family complexes
and non-residential properties
will be charged a higher
monthly rate based on an ex-
panded tiered rate structure.
These changes will become
effective Jan. 1, 2016, and
customers can expect to see
the new rates reflected on
their Feb. 1 utility bills.
Conditional
Use Permit
The City Council voted 3-1
and adopted a resolution to
approve a conditional use
permit for a minor passenger
automobile repair establish-
ment at 306 Fifth Avenue
Northwest.
Pat and Jenny Otto plan to
purchase the building, for-
merly known as Glenn’s
Mobil, from current owner
Jim Heiland.
Heiland, who also serves
on the City Council and did
not vote on the resolution due
to a conflict of interest, raised
concerns over a pair or bur-
densome conditions in the
conditional use permit appli-
cation. One condition re-
quires the owner to make re-
pairs within 10 days of the
vehicle being placed on the
site. Heiland explained that
some vehicles could be
parked longer as the business
waits for parts or until the ve-
hicle owner comes up with
enough money to pay the bill.
Another condition is that the
owner is required to install a
fence or plant shrubs on the
southern boundary shared
with residential use.
Pat and Jenny Otto also
had an issue with the first
condition, but did not want
the action on the conditional
use permit application to be
delayed.
Rather than send the condi-
tional use permit application
back to the Planning Com-
mission and delay the
process, City Council mem-
bers Michelle Battcher,
James Jaszewski and Jennifer
Nuesse voted in favor of the
resolution.
City Council Galen Wills,
who felt those two conditions
should be eliminated from the
conditional use permit, voted
against the resolution.
Other Business
The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion to
authorize the termination of
the RevTrack Credit Card
Company and appoint Point
& Pay for customer utility
and miscellaneous payments.
A move to authorize the
City of Arlington to enter into
agreements with Arlington
Township for the township’s
use of the Community Center
for its elections and meetings
was removed from the agen-
da.
The City Council briefly
discussed the Seneca Foods
private road south of Arling-
ton. It was the consensus of
the City Council for the city
to terminate its agreement
with Seneca Foods and not
help maintain the private
road. In addition, it will be
the responsibility of Seneca
Foods to place the proper
closed road signage on the
private road.
The City of Arlington will
host the Sibley County Mu-
nicipalities Association’s
semi-annual meeting at the
Arlington Community Center
at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10.
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a resolution
to approve a gambling permit
for Sibley County Pheasants
Forever.
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a resolution
to authorize the issuance, sale
and delivery of $351, 000
General Equipment Certifi-
cate and Disposal System Re-
funding Bond, Series 2015C.
The move will save the city
$19,000.
The City of Arlington of-
fice will close at noon Thurs-
day, Dec. 24 and be closed on
Friday, Dec. 25.
In addition, the city office
will be closed on Friday, Jan.
1, 2016.
The Arlington City Council
will hold its next regular
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Mon-
day, Dec. 21.

Arlington has lowest
tax per capita
in Sibley County
Our View: City, EDA and Chamber
should tout that point
Guest Column
Letters To The Editor
Although few taxpayers attend the annual Truth In Taxa-
tion public hearings at the city, county and school levels,
some interesting facts are sometimes revealed at these
gatherings.
For example, there was some interesting information re-
leased at the Truth In Taxation public hearing during the
Arlington City Council meeting on Monday night, Dec. 7.
The City of Arlington again has the lowest tax per capita
by a long shot in Sibley County.
According to figures released at the public hearing, the
municipal per capita tax for the City of Arlington was
$344.34 in 2015. The next town was the City of Gaylord
with a per capita tax of $411. The average tax per capita in
Sibley County is $540.
The City of Arlington should remain in the top spot again
next year since the City Council has revised its preliminary
levy from a 7.5 percent increase down to a 2.96 percent
hike.
In this day and age when small cities are looking to at-
tract residents and businesses to relocate to their communi-
ties, it would be wise and advantageous for the City of Ar-
lington, Arlington EDA and even the Arlington Area
Chamber of Commerce to promote the community with the
lowest tax per capita in Sibley County. There are many
towns in the area and across the state who wish they had
that opportunity.

To The Editor,
At its meeting held on March 2,
the Arlington City Council passed a
resolution in support of a state leg-
islative transportation bill that
would provide additional dedicated
state funding for city streets.
As it stands, almost 85 percent of
municipal streets – including all
streets maintained by Arlington are
ineligible for dedicated Highway
User Tax Distribution Fund dollars
that are currently provided by the
state for larger cities. Arlington’s
streets are currently funded solely
through local property taxes, special
assessments, and limited Municipal
State Aid, when available.
Our Council supports the street
funding resolution because we be-
lieve all cities in our state need
greater resources and flexible poli-
cies in order to meet growing de-
mands for street improvements and
maintenance.
Adequately funded city streets are
essential to mobility and economic
vitality in our local communities.
The League of Minnesota Cities has
adopted a similar resolution, and is
encouraging all 853 cities in the
state to do the same. We call on our
governor, legislators, and other
state-level decision makers to
strongly consider the transportation
needs of our fine communities in
Minnesota.
Mayor Rich Nagel
City of Arlington
City Council supports street funding resolution
By Amy Klobuchar
U.S. Senator
Technology is reshaping the ways
we live, work, play, and communi-
cate. The internet is connecting
communities and creating opportu-
nities we couldn’t have imagined
even a few decades ago. Today, you
don’t need to live off an interstate
highway or in a major city to find a
good job, launch a new business, or
take college classes. But without a
reliable high-speed internet connec-
tion, your options can be limited. In
the 1930s, our country brought elec-
tricity and telephone service to com-
munities from coast to coast. In
order to compete in today’s global
economy, we need to make that
same commitment to connecting all
Minnesotans with high-speed broad-
band internet.
I have seen firsthand the benefits
that broadband has delivered, as
well as the challenges faced by com-
munities where broadband hasn’t
reached. I recently had the opportu-
nity to visit Pine Technical and
Community College in Pine County
and learn that the school has ex-
panded the number of hours each
day the computer lab is open. Why?
Because most students have no op-
tion except a slow dial-up connec-
tion at home, making online re-
search very hard—especially for
students facing midterm deadlines.
Students aren’t the only ones fac-
ing challenges. A farm equipment
company in Willmar called Haug
Implement flies its equipment over a
farmer’s fields to capture aerial im-
agery, and then the farmer uses the
information provided to make deci-
sions about how to improve their
crops. When those farmers can’t
download this information efficient-
ly, it limits Haug’s ability to grow its
business. Haug employees told me
that they often encourage their cus-
tomers to bring their laptops to the
closest restaurant or coffee shop be-
cause many farmers don’t have ac-
cess to a reliable internet connection
at home. Our farmers shouldn’t have
to order a hamburger to meet the de-
mands of their businesses.
In communities that have priori-
tized investments in broadband,
we’re seeing life-changing results.
Essentia Clinics in Virginia and Au-
rora have begun connecting patients
with health services through the in-
ternet, and instead of spending hours
traveling by car, people who need to
see a doctor can now head to the
local clinic and, with the click of a
mouse, find themselves face-to-face
with specialists from around the
state. From delivering behavioral
health services to providing special-
ized kidney treatments, healthcare
professionals on the Iron Range are
leveraging new technology and
high-speed internet to improve their
patients’ lives.
These examples illustrate the stark
“digital divide” we’ve seen emerge
in Minnesota across the country.
While 97 percent of Anoka County
homes enjoy access to high-speed
internet, less than one percent of the
homes further north in Aitkin Coun-
ty have the same broadband access.
There are commonsense ways we
can increase broadband access. The
first is with funding. The federal
government recently awarded more
than $85 million to Minnesota for
rural broadband deployment. This
will help connect more than 170,000
Minnesota homes and businesses to
high-speed internet. Second, I am
leading a bipartisan effort with Re-
publican Senator John Thune of
South Dakota in calling on the Fed-
eral Communications Commission
(FCC) to modernize its support for
rural broadband services to better fit
the needs of consumers. Currently,
support is tied to traditional tele-
phone service. This means con-
sumers with a package of telephone
and broadband service can receive
support, but those with standalone
broadband subscriptions are not eli-
gible. These outdated rules create a
needless link between customers
signing up for services they may not
want, or need, and broadband de-
ployment. Senator Thune and I have
been calling on the FCC to update
these rules, including leading a bi-
partisan letter this spring urging the
FCC to ensure rural consumers can
have access to affordable broadband
services without being compelled to
purchase other services.
I am also leading a bipartisan bill
to reduce the costs of building
broadband infrastructure. My legis-
lation would require states and fed-
eral agencies to coordinate highway
construction with broadband instal-
lation – in other words, that they
only “dig once” and lay the ground-
work for broadband when building
or expanding roads. The bill would
also cut red tape for companies,
states, and local governments that
want to install broadband infrastruc-
ture on federal land. I also intro-
duced legislation that would provide
incentives for wireless carriers to
lease unused spectrum to rural or
smaller carriers in order to expand
wireless coverage in rural communi-
ties.
Minnesota has a strong economy.
To keep it strong it’s critical that we
connect all Minnesotans so they can
take advantage of the opportunities
that come from being able to quick-
ly reach people across town, the
state, and the globe.

The Minnesota Department
of Transportation advises mo-
torists to slow down and drive
cautiously because of scat-
tered icy spots due to light
freezing rain and snow.
MnDOT snowplows are on
the roads plowing and treating
icy areas. Motorists should
monitor weather conditions
using 511mn.org or by calling
511, as conditions can change
quickly.
Safety is MnDOT’s number
on priority. Snowplow driv-
ers and motorists have to
work together to make travel
safer and avoid crashes during
winter weather events and icy
conditions.
Motorists should remember
to:
• Use a safe speed for win-
ter driving conditions, regard-
less of the posted speed limit
• Drive slowly on bridges,
overpasses and tunnels
• Keep a safe stopping dis-
tance from the vehicle in front
of you
• Keep both hands on the
steering wheel, eyes on the
road and attention on your
driving
• Give the snowplows plen-
ty of room to work
MnDOT’s 511 system has
added 92 real-time road con-
dition cameras. These camera
locations are in addition to the
more than 800 traffic cameras
already displayed on
MnDOT’s 511 system.
The Road Weather Informa-
tion Stations or RWIS are lo-
cated along state roads and in-
terstates. The stations are
used by MnDOT’s mainte-
nance crews but now the pub-
lic can also take advantage of
the live rotating camera shots.

Superintendent’s Note Pad
History
The Office of Management
and Budget (MMB) released
their November Economic
Forecast Thursday, revealing
a projected surplus of $1.871
billion for Fiscal Years 2016-
2017. State law puts $594
million into the state budget
reserve, leaving an overall
projected balance of $1.206
billion. As a result of Repub-
lican restraint, $865 million
was left on the bottom line
following the 2015 Special
Session, helping bolster
budget reserves and putting
Minnesota in strong fiscal
shape heading into the new
year.
“I’m glad that this surplus
will likely put an end to De-
mocrat hopes of raising taxes
next session,” said Rep.
Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glen-
coe. “Republicans will con-
tinue to focus on putting this
budget surplus back in the
pockets of families through
significant middle class tax
relief and helping to fix our
roads and bridges.”
“Today’s budget news is an
opportunity to put Min-
nesotans first and make their
lives better by letting them
keep more of their hard-
earned dollars,” said House
Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-
Crown. “Instead of increasing
government budgets, let's in-
crease family budgets by pro-
viding middle-class tax relief
during the next session.”
“A budget surplus is good
news for Minnesota, but an
indication that government is
over-collecting from taxpay-
ers," added House Majority
Leader Joyce Peppin, R-
Rogers. "We look forward to
focusing on the priorities
shared by Minnesotans across
the state including middle-
class tax relief and passing
the Republican transportation
plan that provides sustainable
funding for roads and bridges
over the next ten years with-
out increasing the gas tax.”
During the press confer-
ence, Governor Mark Dayton
also declared his signature
proposal to increase the
state's gas tax “dead.”
“I’m pleased that after nine
months Governor Dayton has
finally come around to our
position and ruled out a
harmful gas tax increase,”
added Speaker Daudt. “I’m
disappointed that House De-
mocrats refuse to commit to
Minnesotans that they won't
try to raise the gas tax, and
look forward to working with
the Senate and the governor
to pass our long-term trans-
portation plan that invests $7
billion into roads and bridges
without a tax increase.”
In 2015, the House passed
a 10 year, $7 billion trans-
portation plan that would fix
15,500 lane miles of road and
330 bridges statewide with
bipartisan support. The gov-
ernor and Democratic law-
makers blocked the measure
from becoming law because
of their insistence on a gas
tax increase.

bridges are priorities with the surplus

er scanner and travel the dis-
trict’s roadways prior to 6:00
a.m. to assure the roads are
passable and safe for bus and
student travel. Very often, ad-
ditional communications will
take place with neighboring
districts, county and state of-
ficials.
Cold also becomes a factor
in winter weather decisions.
Wind chill temperature, actu-
al temperature and frostbite
time frames are taken into
consideration when making a
decision to stay open or
closed. If wind chill tempera-
ture projections indicate
frostbite times of 10 to 30
minutes (-25 to-35) it will be
my recommendation to hold
school as planned provided
other issues such as snowfall,
visibility & road conditions
are acceptable. If tempera-
tures exceed this range school
may be delayed or closed.
We ask that parents pay
special attention to proper
clothing for their children
during the winter season and
especially during these very
cold conditions. All students
should have proper winter ap-
parel including mittens and
hat before leaving for school
or the bus stop. If the deci-
sion is made to hold school
on days of negative wind
chills or excessive snow fall
it is the parent’s final respon-
sibility to determine whether
it is safe for their child to go
to school. Throughout our
district, we have so many dif-
ferent family circumstances
that a single decision by the
superintendent may not prop-
erly respond to the conditions
of a particular family or loca-
tion. If parents elect to hold
their children home due to in-
clement weather, the absence
will be considered an excused
absence. Please call our dis-
trict office on that morning to
alert us of your student’s ab-
sence.

lets are notified of delays

The Minnesota Depart-
ment of Transportation ad-
vises motorists to slow
down and use their head-
lights due to heavy snow
and reduced visibility.
Safety is MnDOT’s num-
ber one priority. Snowplow
drivers and motorists have
to work together to make
travel safer and avoid
crashes during winter
weather events and icy con-
ditions.
Motorists should remem-
ber to:
• Check road conditions
at www.511mn.org or call
511; it takes time to get
roads back to good driving
conditions
• Be patient and remem-
ber snowplows are working
to improve road conditions
for everyone
• Stay back at least five
car lengths behind the
plow, far from the snow
cloud. Snowplow operators
will pull over when it is
safe to do so to allow traffic
build-up to pass.
• Stay alert for snow-
plows that turn or exit fre-
quently and often with little
warning. They may also
travel over the centerlines
or partially in traffic to fur-
ther improve road condi-
tions.
• Slow down to a safe
speed for current condi-
tions. Snowplows typically
move at slower speeds.
MnDOT’s 511 system
has added 92 real-time road
condition cameras. These
camera locations are in ad-
dition to the more than 800
traffic cameras already dis-
played on MnDOT’s 511
system. The Road Weather
Information Stations or
RWIS are located along
state roads and interstates.
The stations are used by
MnDOT’s maintenance
crews but now the public
can also take advantage of
the live rotating camera
shots. Various weather data
is also available with the
photos. For updated
statewide road conditions
and construction informa-
tion, call 5-1-1 or visit
www.511mn.org.
MnDOT urges motorists to slow down and use
headlights when dealing with reduced visibility
MnDOT urges all motorists to monitor
winter weather before travel this year

MARRIAGE LICENSES
Rosemarie Diane Barry and
Michael Luke Barry, both of
Arlington, 11/2/2015.
Sara Louise Pioske, Manka-

Brownton, 11/12/2015.
Jeremiah Lee Schwich and
Angela Renee Streich, both of
Arlington, 11/25/2015.
The Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources has
awarded 44 conservation
grants to various organiza-
tions and entities for restor-
ing, enhancing and protecting
habitat in Minnesota.
This latest round of habitat
funding comes from the
agency’s Conservation Part-
ners Legacy (CPL) grant pro-
gram. Now in its seventh
year, the program has award-
ed over $35 million to non-
profit organizations and gov-
ernment entities for conserva-
tion projects.
The DNR recently received
a record-high $11.1 million in
grant requests from 68 appli-
cants during round one of the
application cycle. The DNR
has funded $5.7 million of
these requests.
“We’re happy to fund proj-
ects like these that improve
fish and wildlife habitat in
our state,” said Jessica Lee,
DNR conservation grants co-
ordinator. “Conservation
groups and others are encour-
aged to continue planning
projects in coming months so
they can apply when funds
are again available.”
The DNR’s CPL program
provides grants ranging from
$5,000 to $400,000 to conser-
vation nonprofit organiza-
tions and government to help
fund projects to restore, en-
hance or protect fish and
wildlife habitat in Minnesota.
The Lessard-Sams Outdoor
Heritage Council recom-
mended the grant program,
which was approved by the
Minnesota Legislature and
has been in place since 2009.
Funding has been provided
annually from the Outdoor
Heritage Fund, which is part
of the Clean Water, Land and
Legacy Amendment and
funded by a voter-approved
statewide sales tax of three-
eighths of 1 percent.
Round one of the proposals
for fiscal year 2016 included
the traditional grant cycle, the
metro grant cycle and the ex-
pedited grant cycle. The
metro grant cycle will open
for round two applications
beginning Monday, Dec. 14.
The expedited cycle for stan-
dard types of projects is open
continuously and will have
up to five rounds depending
on available funds, with the
maximum grant award being
$50,000.
More information on the
program’s grant cycles, and a
complete list of the most re-
cent grant applications and
past awarded projects are on
the DNR website on the Con-
servation Partners Legacy
page.
