Fired executive director sues Le Sueur city, HRA over claims of discrimination

The former executive director of the Le Sueur Housing and Redevelopment Authority is suing the city and claiming that her May 15, 2024, firing violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. Melissa Huntington, through her attorney Adam N. Froehlich, of Mankato, says she disclosed several mental health diagnoses, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder and recurrent major depressive disorder to board members after receiving a negative performance review and the board did not take adequate steps to provide accommodations. The complaint was filed June 29 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Following the review, Huntington formally disclosed her diagnoses and told the authority board she needed reasonable accommodations in order to meet the board’s expectations, the lawsuit states. According to the complaint, Huntington’s evaluation by the board, which was conducted on Nov. 15, 2023, showed she needed to improve her “overall management performance,” “communications/relationship with the HRA board,” “staff supervision and overall performance of HRA staff,” “financial management and project management” and “achievement of goals set by the HRA board.” The review contained several comments, including that Huntington was “unprepared,” “relied on calling other (executive directors) and HUD personnel to complete tasks that she should be able

Discover STMA The City Council approved a resolution proclaiming Nov. 23-28 as Shop Small Week. The resolution was brought forward by Discover STMA, which is an organization that promotes local businesses in the St. Michael-Albertville area. President of Discover STMA Courtney Wiest said local businesses would receive Shop Small success kits if they registered, and they would receive ideas of how they could promote their businesses. She also said Discover STMA would use a “pop-up” method to help businesses without physical locations advertise their services. “Want to make sure all businesses in the community have the opportunity to participate, even if they don’t have a brick and mortar spot,” Wiest said. She said that businesses with enough space would host other businesses to do pop-up shops. “If we get a lot and they don’t have anywhere to go, we will find a space,” Wiest said. Another item Discover STMA is planning is to host a window-decorating contest for businesses with a prize, Wiest said. As for customers, Wiest said Discover STMA will have an

County restores AIS funding, cuts custodial staff jobs

Carver County commissioners addressed two administrative budget recommendations at their Oct. 20 meeting. One related to the county’s aquatic invasive species (AIS) program, the second to custodial services. At a meeting in September on the county’s preliminary 2027 budget and levy, funding for the AIS program was eliminated after the state cut its contribution to county AIS programs by half — from $140,000 to $70,000 — to Carver County. However, at last Tuesday’s meeting, that program was restored after new funding surfaced from a combination of additional contributions from lake association partners and the reallocation of some funding from the Carver County Water Management Organization. Also, potentially additional funding from the city of Chanhassen which has Lotus, Lake Riley and several other lakes within its boundaries. In restoring funding, commissioners and program administrators highlighted the value of the AIS program, including watercraft inspections, education and awareness, and AIS monitoring and control. Regarding the second budget conversation, commissioners voted 4-1 to proceed with an administrative recommendation to subcontract additional county building custodial work at an anticipated 2027 budget savings of around $89,000. The move would eliminate two custodial positions and involve an amendment to expand contracting of custodial services with City
