He said people saw his campaign as a long shot. His age was getting in the way of the issues. But as he and his support- ers went on a door-knocking blitz, more and more people put Little signs up in their yards. “In September and October when I was knocking on doors,” Little said, “people would say ‘We’ve heard of you, we’re vot- ing for you.’ The age factor went away.” Voters elected the 25-year-old, Lakeville-born man on a platform of low taxes, increased public safety and bolstered youth in- volvement.

Living in a community that existed despite modest financial means, Little taught English, nav- igated the complexities of Chilean Spanish and endured the constant Seattle-like weather patterns. “They say if you can under- stand Chilean Spanish, you can understand all different kinds of Spanish,” he said. Sometimes relativity is key in a person’s life to provide the pur- est form of self-assessment. Little found some truth in this during his time in Chile. “It made me appreciate to a large degree what we have and how we live,” he said. “We live very well in comparison. We have to be thankful for what we have.” Little parlayed his experiences in Chile into a position teaching English as a foreign language here in Minnesota. He is able to use his Spanish with some of the stu- dents, but also tutors a lot of Ka- rens, an oppressed minority group from Thailand and Myanmar. “One lesson I’ve learned is that if you want to teach some- one another language, it has to be through immersion,” he said.

The Lake Kingsley project would be developed by Southview Senior Living Management and offer 32 memory-care units, 46 as- sisted-living units, and 23 indepen- dent-living units at the proposed 35,000-square-foot campus. The facility would be directly adjacent to the Chart House, located at 11287 Klamath Trail.

Council recommends flat fee for seal coating

Franchise fees planned to be uniform amount

by Laura AdelmannTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Farmington City Coun-cil members at a Nov. 8 workshop recommended seeking a flat-rate fran-chise fee for businesses and residences to fairly share road seal-coating project costs. The recommendation was in response to com-plaints from some prop-erty owners who said they would be unfairly assessed under a previous plan that would have been based, in part, on electricity and gas usage. Under the new plan, utility companies will de-vise a franchise fee sched-ule that allows the city to collect $400,000 per year with a separate flat fee for businesses and another amount for residences.

Franchise fees will be placed in a city fund to pay for local seal-coating projects performed on a seven-year rotating sched-ule. Farmington City En-gineer Kevin Schorzman said seal-coating costs will fluctuate depending on the size of the area to be covered and the amount of materials needed. For the next several years, seal coating is ex-pected to cost between $300,000 and $400,000; in 2016, seal-coating proj-ects are expected to cost almost $600,000. City Finance Direc-tor Teresa Walters said the city will have to bond for the projects, and use fees collected to repay the bond annually. Changes in how the

work was paid for was nec-essary because the city’s road and bridge fund, which was previously used to subsidize half the seal-coating costs, is soon to be depleted. Under franchise fees, all property owners through-out the city, whether they live on paved roads or not, will share the full burden of the seal-coating ex-penses, because the city assumes they also use the paved roads. Those fees are added on to utility bills, collected by the utility and eventually sent to the city. The new fee structure is expected to be available for City Council review by its Dec. 15 meeting.

safe, temporary tattoo to write a parent’s cell phone number on children’s skin. The non-toxic tempo-rary tattoos are fun to wear and allow children to be able to relate their par-ent’s contact information to a rescuer if they are lost. Perkins said the tattoos are best worn inside of the child’s forearm or on the shoulder so the infor-mation is only exposed if needed. Children enjoy the de-signs, said Perkins, and their fun look allows par-ents to raise important safety issues in a way that isn’t frightening. “The tattoos allow par-ents to … have a conversa-tion with their kids about something that can be scary – getting lost – but talk about it in a fun way,” she said. Perkins said the tempo-rary tattoos are particu-larly helpful for daycare providers taking a group of children on an outing, chaperones charged with keeping track of children on school field trips or for families on vacations and outings. The tattoos are less than two-inches wide and tall, stay on the skin for three to five days, and can be removed with baby oil. Available designs in-clude a dinosaur skeleton, motorcycle, a princess and a butterfly; each tattoo in-cludes the words, “If lost, please call:” and allows parents to write a phone number next to the tattoo. While the concept only

came to market this year, it appears to be popular with kids. Perkins said 2,000 chil-dren lined up at the Min-nesota State Fair to re-

ceive a free tattoo. And she said some par-ents who said their child knew their phone number were surprised to learn they actually didn’t have it

memorized. “For the most part, the response was overwhelm-ingly positive,” Perkins said. She added that two chil-dren whose parents didn’t get the tattoos wound up getting lost later, coming to their booth and asking for help to reunite them with their parents. The FDA-approved tat-toos are available online at a cost of $9.99 for a pack-age of 12, or 24 tattoos for $17.99, plus shipping at www.idink.com. Included with the tat-toos is a special pen to write a phone number. I.D. Ink tattoos are also available at Uber Baby, 1628 West End Blvd. in St. Louis Park.

that attachment you take de-cisions made about your city more heavily,” he said. Case in point: cuts in the police department. “You can’t do that in a growing city,” he said. To that effect, part of Lit-tle’s three-point plan for his term involves re-energizing neighborhood watch pro-grams. He said increases in burglaries are among the in-cidents that illustrate the ne-cessity for a comprehensive public safety network. “Even if we prevent one crime, the city saves money,” he said, “and it gets people out there meeting each other.” Another component of his plans is to increase youth in-volvement in the community. “I want to make a pro-gram for high school kids that incentivizes volunteering in Lakeville,” Little said. He proposes intra-public and public-private partner-ships using carrots such as scholarships to encourage the city’s youth to give back. “A lot are willing to get in-volved but don’t know the op-portunities yet,” Little said. The third component of his plan is to “make partici-pating in local government more accessible.” Little wants to expand the public comment time allotted at city council meetings be-yond the current three-minute limit. “It’s not enough time to construct an argument,” he said. He also aspires to further implement technology by augmenting the web streams of the meetings with the abil-ity for busy working families to participate in public com-ment from home. “If people have children, they might not be able to make it to the meeting,” he said.

Budgetary decisions While Little is adamant

about preserving and growing the police department, he was hesitant to specify what he would cut in balance. It would be premature to make such judgments, he said. “I would draw on the lead-ership experience of the (city department) directors,” he said. But he does want to hold the line on spending—or at least make sure expenditures are scrutinized. “It is vitally important to be vigilant about every single dollar,” he said.

Foundations Little’s life trajectory sug-gests a run for office was inev-itable. In fifth grade, energized by an election to vice presi-dent of his class, Little said he oversaw a fund-raiser to help build a new playground. In high school, the debate team was his niche. His suc-cess in that realm led to a full scholarship to the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He spent a year there, frustrated by the large class-sizes and the commuter-campus ambiance. Debate, he said, “fostered an interest in politics.” Little was quite at home, however, at the University of Minnesota-Morris from which he has a political sci-ence degree. He got involved in student government, played trumpet in jazz band and indulged his interest in intramural basketball. But what remains with Lit-tle more than anything is the advice of his advisor, Prof. Tom McRoberts, who died on Oct. 11. “He taught me everything that’s important about poli-tics,” Little said amid a misty-eyed reminiscence. “It’s not about winning elections or scoring points or getting the best sound bites. It’s about doing good things for the people that elect you.” E-mail Aaron Vehling at [email protected].

Opinion

School Board action is attempt to silence BurkeTo the editor: After attending Monday’s meeting of the Farmington School Board, I feel com-pelled to write a public letter on the situation. Board Member Singewald made a motion to engage an independent investigator to look into Board Member Tim Burke’s behavior on the board and determine if he had violated the board’s code of conduct. There was no limit on pub-lic funds to be expended on this investigation, but a limit of $10,000 was mentioned by Chairperson Walters (the dis-trict is considering laying off teachers for the budget). There was no specific charge, no plan as to a time frame for the action and no plan as to who would be hired for the effort – just an ongo-ing effort to silence an out-spoken member whom the public had voted to the board because he was known to be willing to ask hard questions on any subject and insist on seeing documentation behind issues under consideration. If there is going to be an investigation it should be to look at all board members, their relationships with each other, their relationships with the administration, and any conflicts of interest that exist between board members and administration and within the administration. And then maybe the board should simply have a “free” workshop meeting to iron out its functional differ-ences. I ask all tax-paying resi-dents, parents and all others interested in good local gov-ernment to view the Nov. 8 board meeting on cable TV (Charter Channel 10) during the next two weeks. You can check the TV schedules for replays and ob-serve and judge for yourself a local government operation that is arrogant, elitist and broken. One of the complaints al-luded to was that Burke was not respectful to other mem-bers.

Observe, near the end of the meeting, Singewald’s highly disrespectful tirade against Burke’s “pontificat-ing,” with fire in her eyes and an elitist tone of voice. There is hope because three new board members will soon be taking their po-sitions. We can hope that they maintain the common-sense approach they showed dur-ing their election campaigns.

Help us thank your sol-diers for their service this holiday season and beyond. Our organization continu-ally receives and accepts the names of deployed soldiers and families throughout the year – with a special empha-sis on the holiday season. If you know someone who is currently serving overseas, visit our website at www.supportourtroopshh.com to submit your soldier’s infor-mation.

Hope for a bright futureTo the editor: Citizens feel very passion-ate about the political can-didates they choose to sup-port and the issues they align themselves with. The benefit of this to our democracy is that each election reminds us that it is the people’s govern-ment and that we the people have an opportunity to bring about change. The danger, however, with such political passion is that it can polarize and divide. Our society has remained strong because historically we have united as a people after each election to support those who have been elected to serve. It is now my honor to serve this community as your mayor. The campaign was an exciting and an educational endeavor. My team knocked on over 11,000 doors to intro-duce ourselves and to listen to your concerns. The high-light of the campaign was meeting so many wonderful and engaged people. That is what gives me hope that Lakeville’s future is bright. I want to express my sin-cere gratitude to everyone who was involved in the cam-paign. On behalf of the com-munity, I would also like to express appreciation to Holly Dahl for her four years of service as mayor and also to Council Member Kevin Mill-er for his service.

Who would have known a community would revere its week-ly newspaper like Lakeville does Thisweek Farmington-Lakeville? Certainly not I. And it’s some-thing I made sure not to take for granted in my time covering Lakeville for the community’s hometown newspaper. It’s also something I’ll miss. After four years covering Lakeville, I’m handing my laptop, notepad, and press pass off to a different reporter and pursuing a new career opportunity. The love, pride and sense of identity Lakeville shares with Thisweek Farmington-Lakeville, and by association, me, is some-thing at which I’ve always mar-veled. The phenomenon is unique as far as I can tell. I grew up in Still-water, a community that absolute-ly loves its hometown paper, the

Stillwater Gazette. But in my opinion, even Stillwater has nothing on Lakev-ille. And while things have changed, such as the name on the

top of the front page, Lakeville’s affection for the newspaper it still calls the Life & Times is striking. And that adoration for the newspaper is nothing but a ben-efit for the reporters who have the honor of covering the abundance of news here. Likely because of nothing more than devotion and com-munity pride for its weekly news-paper, I found myself, four years ago, warmly embraced by Lakev-ille as its news man – its reporter. From the business community, to those who work in city hall and the school district’s office, to the residents who live here, and all those who have read, in these pag-

es, the good and bad news about Lakeville that I have written, I want to say thanks. I’m not going far. I’m moving on to be the new Lakeville editor for Patch.com, an AOL company that is opening online-only news sites in more than 1,000 commu-nities across the country. But I’ll no longer be the editor of Lakeville’s community newspa-per, and as an old-fashioned kind of guy who prefers to read his news on paper and not a screen, that’s a bit sad. City officials have proudly touted Lakeville’s charm and character, but experiencing it first-hand each and every day made this job more than just a way to earn a paycheck. Frankly, when I began cover-ing the city of Lakeville in July of 2006, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I thought that covering the news here was just a way to make a living doing some-

thing I am good at. But then I started getting to know the people who live here. Suddenly I was meeting friends and the community was calling me “their reporter.” After a year, I had fallen in love with Lakeville, the bustling suburb with its small-town charm and historic roots. I had the honor of covering ev-erything in this community, from U.S. Sen. John McCain’s historic presidential campaign visit in 2008, to Lakeville becoming a Yellow Ribbon community ear-lier this fall, sometimes mundane but important council meetings, to honoring some of Lakeville’s amazing pioneers and reporting, in death, their life stories. From the good stories to the bad and sad ones, Lakeville has treated me wonderfully. My hope is that the community treats Aar-on Vehling, Lakeville’s newest editor for Thisweek Farmington-

Lakeville, as well as it has treated me. He’s a great writer, fair reporter and a seasoned newshound. He’s also a great guy. More than a col-league, Aaron is a former room-mate and current friend. But like me four years ago, Aaron has no clue what he’s get-ting into. He has no idea that he’ll likely fall in love with Lakeville like I did before him, and like John Sucansky, the man whom I took over for, did before me. It’s not a goodbye, but just a new role. I look forward to see-ing the friends I’ve met and the people who used to call me “their reporter” while I’m out and about in Lakeville, working in my new role. Thanks again.

These four years in Lakeville have been amazing

by Don HeinzmanTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

One of the most important orga-nizations in a community is the local chamber of commerce. This organization, which works for the betterment of business and the community, generally has the largest membership. It is influential in leadership circles because it represents the important voice and thinking of business leaders. While saying they are neutral because of a diversified membership, chambers normally do not take positions on local political issues. For the past four election cycles, a pact called the MetroNorth Leadership Fund, which is affiliated with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, has been endorsing a slate of local candidates whom a separate board of directors believes would be favorable to business. This separate, nine-member board discuss-es candidates and then votes on the ones to back. This year’s slate included Democrat as well as Republican legislative candidates. This organization raises money and helps some candidates get elected. It ran an adver-tisement on its favored slate. Of that slate of 22 candidates, 18 either were elected or re-elected. The Burnsville Chamber of Com-merce also has a political action committee that interviews and endorses candidates for local races. Some may question a local chamber back-ing local candidates, but MetroNorth Lead-ership Fund Chair John Hartinger says that’s precisely what chambers should do for their members after studying the candidates’ quali-fications. Another chamber, the Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce, at the request of its

members did an analysis of the three-question operating levy posed by the Lakeville Area Public School District. Todd Bornhouser, the executive di-rector, wrote an opinion in Thisweek Newspapers explaining the analysis, but in the end said the chamber would not take an official position of support

or nonsupport. Lakeville voters approved the renewal of a $3 million operating levy for 10 years but turned down a new operating levy for $7.7 million and a $940,000 technology levy. The MetroNorth Chamber Leadership Fund, like the Lakeville chamber, does not take a position on school levy referendums. They should, though, because businesses de-pend on a well-educated work force, and the community in which they do business needs a quality school system. Special levy elections for schools fell by the wayside in last week’s election: North Branch, Forest Lake, Milaca, Rosemount-Apple Val-ley-Eagan and Elk River all suffered defeats. Opponents of chambers getting involved in backing local issues say such involvement could hurt their businesses when people don’t agree with their choices, and they say that’s not what chambers should do. The greater good, however, comes when the chamber steps up and gets involved in passing policies, studying and taking posi-tions on school levy referendums and electing candidates who can best serve the community as well as business.

installing signs for me, help-ing me walk door to door to educate the public to get out and vote, writing a let-ter to the editor of support, giving financial support, or just calling with encourage-ment, none of it went un-noticed and all was greatly appreciated. There is no “I” in team. We won, not me alone. Many business owners, managers or workers strongly sup-ported me throughout the entire campaign. Most I had not met before, therefore telling me people are ready for a change. I hope I can help facilitate that change in a positive way to keep

Lakeville a great place to call home. The only way we as an entire city can accomplish this is to listen to the citizens and businesses alike and re-spect their opinions and comments, and act on the ones that make fiscal sense. I intend to treat the rev-enues and expenditures of the city no different than I have treated my own in my business. I’m willing to make the hard decisions that no one likes to make. I would also like to con-gratulate Mr. Bellows for his victory, and I know that he will listen to the voters as he has done in the past. Addi-

tionally, I look forward to serving with Ms. Swecker and Ms. Reib with their years of experience on coun-cil, and Mr. Little, as I’m en-couraged to have the youth of the city step up to serve. Unfortunately there were only two who could take seats on the council, but I felt it was a very cor-dial campaign for all the candidates and hope those who ran continue to stay in-volved in the city’s progress in one way or another. Thanks for the vote. COLLEEN RATZLAFF LABEAULakeville

THISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Shawn Bakken doesn’t mind when people describe him as a “geek.” After all, he was billed as such on national TV not too long ago. The Eagle Scout, Mensa member and law school graduate was a contestant on the first season of the reality-TV se-ries “Beauty and the Geek,” which aired in 2005. Bakken was eliminated in week five of the show af-ter the “outdoor challenge” – a race along a mountain path that left him dehydrat-ed and, much to his chagrin when it aired on national TV, had him vomiting. “That’s my legacy,” the 34-year-old Lakeville resi-dent said with a laugh. “If I ever need a taste of hum-ble pie, I can just reflect on

that.” Bakken is taking the stage in his hometown this month as a cast member in Expressions-Lakeville

Community The-ater’s production of “Mind Over Matt.” You might call it typecasting. Bak-ken, who’s making his debut with the Expressions troupe, is cast in the title role of Matthew Lane, a young illus-

trator trying to work up the courage to ask out the girl of his dreams – a common geek dilemma. Maureen Carroll, the show’s director, said Bak-ken has meshed well with the cast of the stage comedy, which opens Nov. 12 and runs through Nov. 21 at the Lakeville Area Arts Center. “He’s doing really well – the last time he acted (on stage) was high school, and

for him to take on a lead role is pretty amazing,” said Carroll, noting that Bakken does, in fact, come across as a geek in real life, but mainly because he’s so personable. Bakken, who said he doesn’t have entertainment-industry ambitions and is

considering going back to school, prefers community theater to reality TV. Regarding his experience on “Beauty and the Geek,” Bakken said he would “def-initely do it over again” if

given the opportunity. However, the show’s ten-dency to condense hours of footage down to the juiciest, most drama-filled tidbits left him less than ambiva-lent about the cultural value

of reality TV. In general, “reality TV sucks,” he said with a laugh. Andrew Miller is at [email protected].

THISWEEK November 12, 2010 9A

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

All season, Lakeville North’s volleyball team was ranked No. 1 in the state ex-cept for about four days in September. The girls won 28 of 29 matches before playing in the Class AAA state tourna-ment this week at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The Panthers won the Molten Southwest Minne-sota Challenge in Marshall, the Todd Bachman Invita-tional at Lakeville North and won the Section 3AAA tournament on Nov. 6. The only loss this season came at the hands of Way-zata in the Apple Valley tournament finals on Sept. 25. Four days later they beat Wayzata 3-0. “We just always try to stay really positive,” fresh-

man outside hitter Taylr McNeil said. “We don’t get down on anyone and you try not to show any negative body language.” Lakeville North isn’t ex-actly catching anyone by surprise. Everyone it plays knows they’re the underdog. “We always get the best game from other teams, but we try not to get cocky,” Mc-Neil said. “That’s the worst thing we could do. We just play the best game we can play.” To get to state, the play-ers had to dig deep — as deep as they’ve dug all sea-son. The girls found them-selves down 2-1 in a best of five against Bloomington Jefferson in the Section 3AAA finals on Nov. 6. The Panthers won the first game, but too many unforced er-

rors put the team in a des-perate situation. “We practiced three flows before the game and we had to go down to our second and third tempo,” assistant coach Doug Bergman said. “We haven’t had to dig that deep down in our playbook this year. “We had to establish the middle and slow ourselves down. Hats off to (Jeffer-son). I can really respect ev-erything they did.” The Panthers grabbed the momentum back to win 3-2. “They haven’t been in this type of situation all year,” head coach Milan Mader said. “Give them credit for bouncing back.” A comeback win made the victory that much sweet-er for the Panthers. “I’m overwhelmed; I can barely talk,” senior setter

Cougar girls finish best ever at stateby Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

The Lakeville South girls cross country team had its best place ever at the Class AA state meet last week-end in Northfield. The girls finished third behind Eden Prairie and Monticel-lo and ahead of Elk River and Andover. Last year the girls finished fourth. The Cougars didn’t quali-fy as a team in 2008, 2007 or 2005. They were 13th in 2006. The key for the Cougars was their depth. The team’s No. 3-No. 7 runners were faster than almost every other team. An-nie Brekken was the top placer for South coming in 15th. Me-gan Kilbride was 11 seconds behind her at 23rd. Their crosstown ri-val Lakeville North finished in 10th place. Emma Johnson was

North’s top runner coming in 26th. The Panther boys team also finished in 10th place. Joey Brenner was first across the finish line for North coming in 24th.

Banham officially picks GophersKleiner signs letter of intent for Iowa State

by Andy RogersTHISWEEK NEWSPAPERS

Lakeville North saw five student-athletes decide where they’re going to get their education next by sign-ing National Letters of In-tent on Wednesday morning. Rachel Banham made her choice to play basketball at the University of Minne-sota official. Kellie McNeil will join her next door at the Univer-sity of Minnesota to play volleyball. Banham’s teammate Jaya Perkins will dribble and

shoot for the University of Minnesota-Crookston next year, and Apiew Ojulu will post up at Marquette Uni-versity. Swimmer Elizabeth Kleiner also made her choice of Division I schools. She will take her talents to Iowa State.

Lakeville South The Cougars saw girls hockey players Chel-sea Laden and Morgan Fritz-Ward signing to play women’s hockey at Quinni-piac University in Hamden,

Conn., on Wednesday.

Farmington Two of the top female student-athletes at Farm-ington made their post-high school intentions known on Wednesday. Krystal Baumann will skate on the women’s hockey team at the University of Vermont, and Katie Habeck will bump-set-spike for the Concordia University volley-ball team in St. Paul.

Lakeville South’s Chelsea Laden and Morgan Fritz-Ward signed National Letters of Intent to play women’s hockey at Quinnipiac.

Kellie McNeil said after the game. She had 51 assists in the win and her sister Taylr had 25 kills. Going to state is nothing new for the high school, but it’s their first trip in three years. Kellie McNeil is the only player who was on the ros-ter during North’s last trip to state in 2007. “It’s a lot bigger stage,” she said. “There’s going to be big crowds. It’s a lot of fun, but it can make you pretty nervous.” Mirroring the regular season ranking, North was seeded No. 1 in the state tournament. Mader said anything less than an ap-pearance at the state finals is a disappointment. Stretching back to 1981 when the school was just Lakeville High School, the Panthers have gone to state 16 times, four as Lakeville North. They took home the

silver five times, but never the gold. The Panthers feel pre-pared for state thanks to their difficult schedule and section. Their 28-1 record didn’t feature any cupcake wins from outstate Class A upstarts or fledging char-ter schools. They defeated the best teams in the state, sometimes twice. “The work has been done,” Bergman said. “Now it’s just staying healthy and focused. There’s not much you can change at this point.” The section tourna-ment itself featured five of the top 10 ranked teams in Class AAA. “We called this our mini state tournament,” Kellie McNeil said. “Everybody here deserved to go.” This time it’s Lakeville North’s turn.

A day of celebration, honor

Above: A surprised Sgt. John Kriesel accepted honorary membership into Farmington’s Warrior to Citizen organization, presented by founder Annette Kuyper, during the Patriotic Day celebration at Farmington High School on Nov. 4. Kriesel, the event’s keynote speaker, gave a moving speech that encouraged others to work hard and keep going no matter how hard things seem. Kriesel lost both his legs and two friends in a roadside bomb explosion, and survived after being revived three times on the operating table.

about the motion, Burke was calm but assertive in his criti-cism of the motion. “I don’t think this is going to accomplish anything other than take up time and energy and precious school district dollars to show something we already know: I am not the most polite board mem-ber,” Burke said. “(The mo-tion) doesn’t set the param-eters for the investigation. It is extraordinarily vague and open-ended.” He also took issue with the absence of financial con-siderations. The motion did not indicate the estimated cost of an investigation, Burke countered, and also there was no indication as to if he would be compensated for “legal counsel I would have to retain.” Singewald suggested per-haps capping expenditures at $10,000, a request to which the audience groaned em-phatically. Board chairwom-an Walter asked the audience

to stay civil. An alternative Singe-wald proposed was setting a spending limit that once reached would trigger a re-quirement for further board approval. Ultimately, the details were not hashed out by the time the meeting drew to a close.

Support There were moments when audience members jeered or cheered, but Burke tried to keep them adhering to the orderly rules of the evening. During the meeting’s pub-lic comment portion, a few district residents spoke in fa-vor of Burke and against an investigation. Farmington resident Rick Leverson said he was in full support of Burke and that the School Board should “create an atmosphere of co-operation, not litigation.” Laura Beem, who lives in a part of Lakeville within District 192’s boundaries, ar-gued that the board should

wait until the three newly elected members are seated in January.

Hostile environment At the Oct. 11 meeting, board member John Kampf said he felt Burke was sub-jecting staff to a “hostile work environment.” This allegation is related to Burke’s communications with administration officials, including his assertion that some of them are withhold-ing information. Burke has had some de-gree of a contentious rela-tionship with the board and the district since before his election in 2008. He was be-hind the defeat of the $24 million sports facility refer-endum and has implored the district to be more transpar-ent with its constituents ever since. The district’s attorney will be charged with the task of selecting an investigator.

ic development specialist and the administrative services di-rector. At the Nov. 8 workshop, Herlofsky again didn’t recom-mend staff cuts, but instead offered a number of other options, including paying a portion of the administrative services director and commu-nication specialist staff sala-ries out of the communica-tions budget, which is partly funded by franchise fees. Council members strongly opposed paying salaries from that fund, even after learning some cable staff salaries are already paid from it. Council member Julie May said transparency is im-portant, stating salary costs should be easily identified in the budget and primarily tak-en from the general fund. Board members took is-sue with Herlofsky’s refusal to include staff cuts, and cham-pioned prioritizing essential services like police and fire. “The reality is, we don’t have the revenue to support the staff we have now,” coun-cil member Steve Wilson said. “I feel like the entire staff of the city is being put at risk be-

cause we’re afraid to prioritize crucial positions.” Herlofsky asked council members if they would identi-fy certain positions to be cut, but they said it’s up to him. “As difficult a task this is to give to you … I think you can find those cuts, positions that will be the least detrimental to City Hall. That’s the charge we gave you,” council member Christy Jo Fogarty said. Council members also re-jected a $100,000 cut achieved by eliminating curbside pick-up during City Cleanup Day. Residents would instead drop off items at the Mu-nicipal Services Facility, and their garbage bills would be reduced by $15 per year. In dismissing the idea, council members said citizens appreciate curbside pickup at a bargain price. Council members also rebuffed a cost-savings op-tion to grant every employee, including police, a one-week furlough. “I don’t favor furlough un-der any circumstances,” Wil-son said. Council members directed staff to reduce projections of $70,000 of income from fines and forfeitures to $50,000

and cut anticipated inter-est income from $250,000 to $180,000. Not all news was discour-aging, however. Herlofsky said the Farm-ington School District has expressed interest in leasing about 5,200 square feet of space at City Hall. Farmington District 192 Superintendent Brad Meeks confirmed Tuesday that the district is considering leasing the space long-term. The idea is being consid-ered as part of the district’s Facilities Plan update, and is likely to be discussed at the School Board’s Nov. 17 work session scheduled for 6 p.m. at Boeckman Middle School. Meeks said programs housed at the Instructional Service Center, including the Farmington Food Shelf and special education, may be moved into the 5200-square-foot space. “There is some energy around it. Anytime you can have intergovernmental co-operation and efficiency, it’s good for the public,” Meeks said.

could happen in January of 2011, and the facility could open in March of 2012. As for the Hosanna proj-ect, the church says the fa-cility’s units will likely be market-based and not in-come-based. The Lake Kingsley proj-ect would also have units available for those with lower incomes, according to re-ports. Hosanna’s lead pastor, Bill Bohline, said in a let-ter to the congregation that the housing facility at Ho-sanna is designed to be at-tached to the west end of the 115,000-square-foot church building. The church and the facility will share a cov-ered drop-off and entryway and other services, such as a cafeteria, bank, and general store, he wrote. “There will be countless opportunities for intergen-erational ministries with our Hosanna children vis-iting and entertaining the residents and the residents coming our way for worship, study, or to volunteer,” Boh-line said. “It will be a great example of God’s family car-ing for one another.” Bohline said a 2009 sur-vey of Hosanna’s congrega-tion found that 75 percent of people considered ministry with and for seniors an im-portant initiative. As a result, the church’s Vision Board began talking to potential partners, Boh-line said, and that’s where Ebenezer emerged as the lead partner. Construction on the Ho-sanna site would begin in the spring of 2011 with occu-pancy and move-in projected for summer of 2012. Lakeville’s already home to one continuum-of-care se-nior facility. Highview Hills went up in 2009, offering the first as-sisted- and memory-care fa-cilities in Lakeville. Highview Hills, lo-cated at Highview Avenue and County Road 50, is a 225,000-square-foot facility

Senior Housing/from 1A that offers 75 independent, 44 assisted-living, and 24 memory-care units. Highview Hills is owned and operated by Minneap-olis-based nonprofit Walk-er Methodist, which was founded in 1945 and oper-ates nine other senior-living facilities in Minnesota. According to its website, Walker focuses on “senior housing environments that enhance the growth of each individual,” and Highview Hills’ leaders emphasize the complex’s amenities and

programs that will engage seniors. Hosanna’s executive di-rector, Mary Carroll, point-ed to the church’s website, www.hosannalc.org, for more information about the church’s plans. A call to Southview Se-nior Living Management wasn’t immediately re-turned.
