The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during a special meeting
at 5:45 p.m. Monday, April
20, discussed an offer from
Technical Services for Elec-
tronics, Inc., to donate its ad-
ministrative building along
Highway 5 to the City of Ar-
lington.
The donation would in-
clude the security system
along with some furnishings,
according to City Administra-
tor Liza Donabauer. The size
of the building is 10,000
square feet. The building is
currently valued at $79,200.
The City of Arlington, ac-
cording to Donabauer, was
contacted about the offer
through TSE’s realtor Eric
Riemer on Tuesday, April 7.
Donabauer, Mayor Rich
Nagel, Public Buildings
Committee member James
Jaszewski, Library Board
member Galen Wills, Arling-
ton EDA Director Cynthia
Smith-Strack and Arlington
Public Library Director
Kathy Homme discussed the
offer and toured the building
on Monday, April 13.
Donabauer relayed some
comments made by various
people during the tour.
Smith-Strack had concerns
about taking the public li-
brary off Main Street and
changing the footprint of the
downtown area.
The group had some con-
cerns about parking around
the building.
Building Inspector Darin
Haslip, who later inspected
the building, said the facility
was in great shape. However,
he voiced concerns over the
many different levels, handi-
cap accessibility and fire code
issues. He suggested that the
city contact a designer and/or
architect to determine how to
open up the interior of the
building.
During the special meeting,
Public Works Director Tony
Voight suggested that the fa-
cility be used as a multi-pur-
pose building.
Wills said a new library has
been discussed in the past. He
added that the building could
be used for a library and city
storage.
Homme shared her poten-
tials, possibilities and con-
cerns about the building. She
said funds to remodel or ren-
ovate the building into a pub-
lic library could be available
from the Arlington Public Li-
brary League and the State of
Minnesota.
City Council member
Michelle Battcher said the
city should jump on the op-
portunity. In addition to a li-
brary, she added that there
could be additional space to
rent or even for a senior cen-
ter.
Nagel said the City Council
would need to brainstorm on
how to use the additional
space in the building.
City Council member Jim
Heiland said the city should
pursue the matter, but first de-
termine the condition of the
roof and infrastructure before
it makes a serious commit-
ment.
After more discussion, it
was the consensus of the City
Council to move forward and
contact a structural engineer
to further inspect the build-
ing.
Once the City Council re-
ceives those findings, the
group will need to move
swiftly and make a firm deci-
sion, according to Nagel.

The Arlington City Coun-
cil, during its regular meeting
on Monday night, April 20,
unanimously adopted a reso-
lution to accept the low bids
from William Mueller &
Sons, Hamburg, for the 2015
Street & Utility Improvement
Project.
The low base bid was
$1,509,937. 05. The engi-
neer ’s estimate was
$1,452,470.50.
The 2015 Street & Utility
Improvement Project will in-
clude storm water outfall im-
provements along with street
and utility improvements on
West Douglas Street (from
Fourth Avenue Northwest to
Second Avenue Northwest),
West Chandler Street (from
Highway 5 to Third Avenue
Northwest), Fourth Avenue
Northwest (north of West
Chandler Street), 1 1/2
blocks) and Third Avenue
Northwest (north of West
Chandler Street, two blocks).
The low bid for alternate
number one was $94,297.05.
The engineer’s estimate was
$87,579.75.
The low bid for alternate
number three was
$35,503.15. The engineer’s
estimate was $20,964.
The two alternates included
Elgin Street and the pedestri-
an crossing at the intersection
of Highway 5 and Second Av-
enue.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim Hei-
land, James Jaszewski, Jen-
nifer Nuesse and Galen Wills
all voted in favor of the reso-
lution.
The City Council did not
accept the low bid for alter-
nate number two which was
$48,993.69. The engineer’s
estimate was $20,964. This
alternate included the sanitary
sewer lining.
The City Council made the
moves after it conducted a
public hearing which was at-
tended by 15 local residents
and held prior to the regular
meeting.
A fair number of the com-
ments focused on the place-
ment of sidewalks and the re-
duction of most streets from
40 feet to 36 feet.
The project is scheduled to
start in May or June.
Substantial completion is
scheduled for Sept. 1. The
final completion will be June
1, 2016.

The Arlington City
Council, during its regular
meeting on Monday night,
April 20, unanimously
adopted a resolution to ap-
prove the assessment roll
for the 2015 Street & Util-
ity Improvement Project.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, Jim
Heiland, James Jaszewski,
Jennifer Nuesse and Galen
Wills all voted in favor of
the resolution.
The assessment will in-
clude 36 properties at a
total cost of $366,666.81.
The City Council also
unanimously adopted a
resolution to provide for
the competitive negotiated
sale of $2,005,000 Gener-
al Obligation Improve-
ment and Utility Revenues
Bonds, Series 2015A.
According to the resolu-
tion, the City Council has
authorized David Drown
to solicit bids for the com-
petitive negotiated sale of
the bonds.
Fee Schedule
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a resolu-
tion to amend the schedule
of fees and charges for
various services, licenses
and permits.
The primary change is
the caterers’ fee at the
Community Center for
one to 200 guests will go
from $150 to one dollar
per guest for the first 100
guests and $150 for 101 to
200 guests.
The City Council made
the move based on a rec-
ommendation from the
Community Center Com-
mittee. That committee
made the move based on a
recommendation from
local caterer Craig Bullert.
He said the city would
lose small group bookings
at the previous rate.
Employees
The City Council unani-
mously approved a motion
to approve a variance to
the length of the employee
lunch period to 30 minutes
to 60 minutes. The previ-
ous length was 60 min-
utes.
The City Council also
unanimously approved a
motion to approve out-
sourcing folding, stuffing
and sealing monthly mail-
ings to the Sibley County
DAC.
In addition, the City
Council unanimously ap-
proved a motion to ap-
prove the job description
for the assistant ambu-
lance manager.
The City Council made
all three moves based on
recommendations from the
Employee Relations Com-
mittee.

The Gaylord City Council,
during its regular meeting on
Wednesday night, April 15,
unanimously approved a mo-
tion to approve a memoran-
dum of understanding with
The Danza Group of Min-
nesota LLC and lay out the
intent of an option and pur-
chase agreement to develop a
600-student medical school in
the current Sibley East Public
School building in Gaylord.
The memorandum of un-
derstanding is just the first
step in the process.
“There is a projected short-
age of almost 150,000 physi-
cians in this country by the
year 2025,” said Tony Danza,
president of The Danza
Group. “Minnesota is expect-
ed to have a shortage of 2,000
physicians during that same
period. I believe it is critical
that an investment in medical
education be made in Gay-
lord, Minnesota. A medical
school in Gaylord will mean
that student doctors can expe-
rience first-hand the primary
care needs of a rural popula-
tion and become excited
about being a primary care
physician.”
Gaylord Mayor Don Boed-
er, in a news release e-mailed
to the Arlington Enterprise,
said, “We look forward to
working with Mr. Danza as a
community partner in this ex-
citing venture. We share his
vision that rural Minnesota
cities can become welcoming
hosts to new businesses. The
medical school investment re-
sults from the leadership and
vision that Gaylord citizens
and elected community offi-
cials have shown over the
past 15 years.”
The Gaylord City Council
voted to work with the Danza
Group, which will allow the
medical school to occupy the
current Sibley East elemen-
tary and junior high school,
after it is relocated to a new
elementary building in Gay-
lord, according to the news
release. Both the City Coun-
cil and the Danza Group be-
lieve that the existing Sibley
East elementary and junior
high school buildings on the
Gaylord Campus can easily
be renovated and transformed
into a new state-of-the-art
medical school.
The proposed medical
school is expected to have an
enrollment of 600 students,
according to the news release.
The medical school will add
hundreds of professional and
support service jobs to Gay-
lord and surrounding commu-
nities. The Gaylord City
Council and the Danza Group
plan to work together to stim-
ulate the local economy, as
other businesses related to
medical education open of-
fices in Gaylord.
The Danza Group is an ac-
complished developer of
medical facilities, the news
release said. As the Mid-At-
lantic’s foremost developer of
decommissioned hospitals, it
refocuses these buildings to
help serve the expanding
health care needs for numer-
ous communities. The med-
ical school campus will in-
clude over 125,000 square
feet of classrooms and other
learning centers, while the
student dorms will eventually
provide housing for over 300
students. The Danza Group
will work with the City of
Gaylord, local builders and
developers, and various state
and federal agencies during
2015 on plans for the medical
school campus and related
services for the community.
The proposal will first
hinge on the outcome of the
Nathan Kranz versus Sibley
East Public lawsuit. Erick
Kaardal, who represents
Kranz, recently submitted a
petition for review to the
Clerk of Court at the Min-
nesota Supreme Court.
Second, any proposal will
hinge on the outcome of a ne-
gotiated land swap agreement
between the City of Gaylord
and the Sibley East Public
Schools. That agreement is
still in negotiations.

A rural Gaylord man was
killed in a farm accident near
the intersection of 441st Av-
enue and 290th Street ap-
proximately three miles
southeast of Gaylord at 4:06
p.m. Wednesday, April 15,
according to the Sibley Coun-
ty Sheriff’s Department.
Kenneth Quast, 81, was
working in a field when he
was reportedly struck by a
2011 GMC Sierra pickup
driven by his wife, Lois
Quast, 79, rural Gaylord, ac-
cording to the report.
Kenneth Quast was trans-
ported to the Ridgeview Sib-
ley Medical Center where he
was pronounced dead.
The cause of death is cur-
rently under investigation.
The Arlington Ambulance,
North Memorial Air Care,
Gaylord Fire Department and
Gaylord Ambulance assisted

The Arlington City
Council, during a recent
meeting, voted 3-2 and ap-
proved a motion to approve
Ordinance 297 - An Ordi-
nance Amending Section 8
of Ordinance 169, the Ar-
lington Zoning Ordinance
by adding Subdivision 6
providing for limited de-
sign standards within the B-
2 Central Business District.
The City Council made
the move after the second
reading of the ordinance.
City Council members
Michelle Battcher, James
Jaszewski and Jennifer
Nuesse voted in favor of
the motion.
City Council members
Jim Heiland and Galen
Wills voted against the mo-
tion.
Wills voiced concern
over some language in the
ordinance. He also worried
that the ordinance could
possibly push businesses
away from the downtown
area.
Heiland, prior to the vote,
had conducted his own in-
formal survey of the down-
town businesses. He said
some businesses favored
the ordinance and some
were against it. Prior to his
survey, none of the busi-
ness owners had been con-
tacted about the proposed
ordinance.
Mayor Rich Nagel be-
lieved that the intent of the
ordinance was to have
some basic guidelines and
standards in place for the
downtown area.
Jaszewski felt the tone of
the ordinance was to pro-
vide some guidance to busi-
ness owners and have some
sense of uniformity in the
downtown area.
Nuesse stated that there
were no standards and
guidelines in place prior to
the amended ordinance.
Battcher said the need for
guidelines and standards
was part of the Comprehen-
sive Plan which was estab-
lished by a committee com-
prised of community mem-
bers.
Battcher and Neusse also
explained that the original
draft of the ordinance was
much more restrictive.
After feedback from the Ar-
lington EDA, the ordinance
was revised to be much
more flexible and less re-
strictive.
Ordinance passes by 3-2 vote
By Kurt Menk

The Green Isle City Coun-
cil, for the second time in less
than a month, voted to be part
of phase one for the RS Fiber
To The Home Project.
The Green Isle City Coun-
cil, as part of its regular meet-
ing on Tuesday night, April
14, voted 4-1 and approved
two resolutions in regard to
the fiber project.
The first resolution author-
ized the sale of a taxable gen-
eral obligation abatement
note.
The second resolution ap-
proved property tax abate-
ment related to phase one of
the fiber optic broadband
communications project.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge and
City Council members Brian
Oelfke, John Schauer and
Mark Wentzlaff all voted in
favor of the two resolutions.
City Council member
Shawn Harms voted against
the two resolutions.
The City Council made the
moves during a public hear-
ing which was held during
the regular meeting.
City Clerk Bert Panning
said Green Isle was advised
to hold another public hear-
ing on the matter.
Former Winthrop Mayor
Dave Trebelhorn, an RS fiber
project representative, report-
ed that all cities, except
Winthrop and Buffalo, were
asked to have another public
hearing in order to make the
bond application more bullet
proof. An additional public
hearing was not necessary
for Winthrop since it would
be the issuer of the bond. He
added that Buffalo Lake
would not bond, but use
available funds.
Sue Kreger, who was the
lone Green Isle resident to
speak during the public hear-
ing, asked questions on how
the project would benefit the
community and on the cur-
rent debt ratio in the City of
Green Isle. Kreger, who
never said she was against the
project, asked if another com-
pany could provide the same
services without the use of
tax dollars. Kreger also asked
what the tax impact would be
on residents in the City of
Green Isle if the project
failed.
City Council member
Brian Oelfke said the project
would attract more residents
to the Green Isle community.
City Council member John
Schauer said the younger
generation wants more Inter-
net speed and the fiber proj-
ect would provide that serv-
ice.
City Council member Mark
Wentzlaff said the project
would draw businesses and
industry to the City of Green
Isle.
Mayor Dale ZumBerge
said he has not changed his
mind on the project since day
one. He said the fiber project
would help Green Isle.
City Council member
Shawn Harms made the claim
that the current cost of servic-
es at his home would be
lower than prices offered
under the fiber project.
In addition to Green Isle,
the cities of Brownton, Buffa-
lo Lake, Gaylord, Gibbon,
Fairfax, Lafayette, New
Auburn, Stewart and
Winthrop have also voted to
participate in the RS Fiber To
The Home Project.
The proposed loan for the
construction of a fiber optic
network in 10 towns and 17
townships will be funded
through the issuance of gen-
eral obligation tax abatement
bonds over a period of 20
years. The cities and town-
ships within the project area
have the ability to issue
bonds for this purpose and
have pledged their ability to
levy taxes as security.
Under the most recent of
four plans presented for the
fiber optic network project,
the backbone that connects
all 10 communities will be
done in 2015. In addition,
some build-out will occur in
Gaylord and Winthrop this
year. The remaining towns,
including Green Isle, will be
built out in 2016.
Green Isle’s share for this
phase of the nearly $8.750
million project will be almost
$495,800.
The second phase of the
project will be to initiate the
rural build-out of the 17 par-
ticipating townships in 2018.
The portion from the town-
ships will then be issued in
2018 prior to commencement
of the rural build-out.
Green Isle votes 4-1 again

Tina & Lena provided the entertainment dur-
ing the Sibley County Senior Expo at the Ar-
lington Community Center on Tuesday after-
noon, April 21. The theme for the event was
“Laughter The Best Medicine.”
Henderson caught the at-
tention of Explore Minnesota,
which listed Henderson in its
list of 10 Charming Minneso-
ta Main Streets, according to
an article in the Henderson
Independent.
“I thought it was pretty
cool,” said Henderson Cham-
ber of Commerce president
Doug Thomas. “I’ve been
saying this lately about his-
toric preservation: There
doesn’t seem to be a down-
side to it.”
Of Henderson’s Main
Street, Explore Minnesota
said, “Tucked away along the
Minnesota River Valley not
far from Highway 169, this
little hillside town feels like a
step back in time, with a soda
fountain in its Main Street
drug store, a B&B home from
the 1870’s and an antique
shop in an 1850’s log cabin.
The entire street is a national-
ly registered historic district,
and the town hosts a Classic
Car Roll-in every Tuesday in
the summer.”
Henderson Main Street named 1 of 10 most charming

Arlington has lowest
tax per capita
in Sibley County
Our View: City, EDA and Chamber
should market that point
Letters To The Editor
Guest Column
Elected officials seldom receive any compliments or ac-
colades this time of the year. The annual property tax state-
ments have arrived and citizens have had an opportunity to
review them. In the minds of most residents, taxes are just
too high and they will make no bones about that when they
talk to their friends and neighbors.
One interesting tidbit that most citizens forget to realize
is how their community compares to other towns in the
county. The City of Arlington, for example, once again has
the lowest tax per capita by a long shot in Sibley County.
That point was revealed during the Truth In Taxation pub-
lic hearing last fall.
According to figures released at the public hearing, the
municipal per capita tax for the City of Arlington was
$338.92 in 2014. The next town was the City of Gaylord
with a per capita tax of $424. The average tax per capita in
Sibley County was $535.
The City of Arlington should remain in the top spot again
next year since the City Council revised its preliminary
levy from a six percent increase down to a 1.6 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 Economic Development Authority
(EDA) and even the Arlington Area Chamber of Com-
merce to promote the community as the town with the low-
est tax per capita in Sibley County. There are many towns
in the area and across the state who wish they had that
same opportunity.

By Glenn Mollette
Two police officers - one from
South Carolina and one from Okla-
homa should never have pulled their
handguns. Their decisions took lives
and forever destroyed families and
their own personal lives. One cop
was just 33 and the other 72.
A lot has been said about Michael
T. Slager, a young man with a new
baby due any day. His life is forever
ruined by the decision to pull his
gun and shoot Walter Scott in the
back as he ran away. Much is also
now being said about Bob Bates, a
72 year-old reserve cop from Tulsa,
Oklahoma. He too made a very bad
judgment that took the life of Eric
Courtney and also forever changed
lives.
Police officers have gotten more
than their share of bad publicity in
recent months. They've earned it.
No one feels happy about cops if
they've ever been harassed or talked
down to by a police officer. What
person has not felt somewhat threat-
ened when pulled over by a police
officer? The police have the authori-
ty and guns.
I am a supporter of the police.
What kind of society would we have
without them? If I need them I want
them to show up.
People should not resist arrest or
run from police officers. There is no
future in such actions. While I be-
lieve that most of our police officers
are good, hard working and ethical
people there is the occasional lone
idiot who has a badge and a gun and
that combination of lunacy, authori-
ty and weaponry is very dangerous.
They will surely hurt somebody, de-
stroy a family and make the news.
They also make it really difficult for
the good police officers.
Putting a North Charleston, South
Carolina officer Michael T. Slager,
age 33, in jail recently for shooting a
man eight times in the back was the
right thing to do. He has zero busi-
ness being a policeman. Bob Bates a
72 year-old reserve officer in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, said he was reaching for
his stun gun but instead pulled his
real gun and killed a man already on
the ground. He has been charged
with second-degree man-slaughter.
Two men are dead. Their families
are in pain. Two police officers are
going to jail. Multiple families are
ruined forever. Bad decisions were
made by people young and old and
on both sides of the law.
Dr. Glenn Mollette is a syndicated
American columnist and author. He
is read in all 50 states.
Bad decisions, age is only a number
To The Editor,
We are still subscribers of the Ar-
lington Enterprise, even after mov-
ing from Arlington 39 years ago.
We like to read about the home town
news, and the Enterprise is the best
way.
We recently read that the Sibley
County Fair is going to be a free
fair. We live in Owatonna, home of
Minnesota’s largest Free Fair, “The
Steele County Free Fair.” It has
been free since 1927. The number
of vendors and spectators has grown
through the years. They use many
different ways to determine specta-
tor count. 2014 attendance was
339,671. Many people attend every
day, just for the food. My wife has
said, “I do not cook during the fair.”
Many other people do the same, and
end up walking around the fair and
looking at the displays and buying
other items from the vendors, that
come from 25 states and Canada.
We also have vendors that live in
southern U.S., and only go to two
fairs, the Steele Co. Free Fair, then
head to the Minnesota State Fair.
I would like to suggest that the
Sibley County Fair Board talk to the
Steele County Free Fair Board and
ask for other suggestions to improve
on the fair. Maybe in future years,
Arlington can be known as the home
to Minnesota’s second largest free
fair.

Owatonna
Ask for other suggestions to improve the fair
To The Editor,
I have a shirt that says on its front
“When we say women and children
first we’re not talking about budget
cuts.” It seems that the party that
controls the house in Congress has
forgotten that reasonable people do
not appreciate cuts that threaten the
“safety net” of the 98 percent of the
population. (Medicare and Social
Security.)
In the state, the headlines say
Governor Dayton’s funding for pre-
school for all children doesn't come
close to the amount that he request-
ed. Mr. Dayton is looking at the re-
sults that will happen twenty-some
years in the future. He is looking
ahead for the citizens of Minnesota
and the favorable business climate
that the state currently enjoys. Edu-
cated work force is one of the fac-
tors that businesses consider when
looking to expand. Early education
sets the model for establishing the
value of education. He is also con-
sidering the closure of the achieve-
ment gap in his thinking. He wants
to put children first.
On the national level, the con-
cerns that directly affect women are
always the first things the opposition
looks at when cuts are to be made.
Equal pay for equal work should be
a no brainer, but inequality still ex-
ists. Women still have to work an
obscene number of days extra to re-
ceive the same pay. Family leave
pay and paid sick leave are also
items that ordinarily affect women
more so than men (very slowly, that
is changing.) There is also the mat-
ter of minimum wage (which usual-
ly affects women) that is being met
with resistance.
Forever and forever more, women
will have to fight a battle on the re-
productive front. Abortion laws
changing, women’s health care
shorted in the budget department,
payment for birth control methods,
it never ends. Roe vs. Wade finally
allowed women seeking to have
abortions to have safe procedures.
Hobby Lobby pleading “religious
beliefs,” to which I say B.S. It’s
costing them money.
For an egalitarian concern is the
proliferation of voting restrictions.
In a perfect world, I would always
like to see my candidates win, but to
resort to restricting voting privileges
is a step too far. In this democracy,
every one’s voice should be heard. If
I am going to support the message
that group represents, they had bet-
ter be hearing my voice through the
voting process and questions an-
swered. My voice says the party that
looks to the future for everyone will
more than likely get my vote.
Let’s be looking ahead for the
sake of the people and state.

PUBLIC NOTICE:
Farming in Road Right-of-Ways
can create safety problems
Sibley County Public Works has noted an increased use of highway
right-of-way (ROW) for agricultural purposes. Roadside mowing in
the ROW is permitted for the purpose of weed control or making hay,
but tillage or crop production is not permitted (M.S.160.2715).
Tillage or crop production in the ROW can cause safety issues, affect
road structure, and create maintenance problems.
Highway ROW includes driving lanes, shoulders, road ditches, and
sight corners at intersections. Township road ROW typically extends
33 feet from either side of the center of the road; and county road
ROW typically extends 50 feet from either side of the center of the
road. Utility poles and pedestals often serve as good indicators of
ROW limits; however, it is the landowner responsibility to know the
ROW limits. The Township Boards and Public Works Department
have no desire or intention to measure every ROW line, and appreci-
ate the general good farming practices of our agricultural producers.
Anyone who damages or alters the ROW will be held responsible for
all costs of restoration. When these activities are identified, the road
agency will contact the landowner to reestablish the ROW where it
has been encroached upon.
Please feel free to contact any member of the following Township
Boards or Sibley County Public Works with questions, or attend the
regular Township Board or County Board meetings.
