POLK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVE LEVY PETITIONS, WILL PARTICIPATE IN TAX FOFREITURE SETTLEMENT
The Polk County Commissioners met Tuesday morning at the Polk County Government Center in Crookston. The commissioners heard from April Swenby, the manager of the Sand Hill River Watershed District (SHRWD). Swenby asked the commissioners for approval on three separate petitions for using the taxing authority for 2024. The first petition ($135,866.75), which is the maximum allowable by law (0.00798%), will provide funding to water management areas (construction, maintenance, beaver control, and information services) related to specific projects within the Sand Hill River Watershed District. The second petition ($135,866.75) will be used for various water quality and erosion efforts. The third petition ($100,000) will provide funds for continuing efforts related to watershed studies, education, and agency support. “The Watershed District receives its funding for projects through Minnesota Stature 103D.905, Subdivision 3, and that allows for a set percentage of our tax capacity for each petition. Our Watershed District has evaluated the needs and is determined to keep the projects flowing. We have separate categories,” said Swenby. “With the tax capacity that is allowed, they have asked the county to approve $135,866.75 for water quality, the same amount for water management and retention, and $100,000 for studies and agency support.”

The Audubon Center In Minnesota Where You'll See Dozens Of Bird Species In A Single Afternoon
The Land of 10,000 Lakes is blessed with many incredible birding hot spots, from the world-renowned Sax-Zim Bog and the Superior and Chippewa National Forests to an urban heron rookery on an island in the Mississippi River. Hundreds of species are year-round residents in the state, and hundreds more come to Minnesota to breed and nest before returning to their home ranges. One part of our state that’s often overlooked by casual birders, though, is the northwestern aspen parklands region. Sitting at the edge of the Great Plains, this unique biome attracts all sorts of species that you may not see elsewhere in the state. And one incredible place to experience this diversity is Agassiz Audubon Center in Minnesota. It’s near the town of Warren, MN, just northeast of Grand Forks, ND.
