Seat Cover Solutions project takes another step forward

MONTICELLO — Plans for Seat Cover Solutions’ proposed $11 million headquarters and distribution center in Monticello took another step forward Oct. 26, as the City Council approved a preliminary plat for the development. The approval comes just two weeks after the council endorsed a revised state grant application for the fast-growing automotive accessories company, which recently doubled the size of its proposed facility from 55,000 to 110,000 square feet. The development is planned for approximately 11.6 acres in Otter Creek Business Park, where Seat Cover Solutions intends to consolidate its warehouse, distribution and office operations. The proposed building would include 18 loading docks and approximately 4,775 square feet of office space, with room for future office expansion. The facility is expected to accommodate approximately 40 employees. In a separate action Oct. 26, the council also approved removing existing drainage and utility easements to allow two parcels to be combined into one property for the development. Required easements will be reestablished as part of the new plat. The plans also call for a separate easement to protect an existing wood-chip trail connecting Chelsea Road to Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park.

Local voters approve school funding increase

MONTICELLO — Public school districts across Minnesota, including those serving Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, will receive additional funding beginning next summer after voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment increasing annual payments from the state's Permanent School Fund. The amendment, approved in Tuesday's general election, increases the amount distributed annually from the $2.3 billion fund, which supports public education without raising income or property taxes. Unofficial statewide results early Wednesday showed approximately 73% of voters supporting the measure, with 23% opposed and 4% leaving the question blank. Locally, the amendment received majority support in Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, as well as their surrounding townships, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Support was strongest in Monticello, where 4,309 voters supported the amendment and 1,695 opposed it. Including ballots left blank, the measure received 68.8% support in the city. In Big Lake, 64.1% of voters supported the amendment, while Becker voters approved it with 60.7% support. Voters in the surrounding townships were less supportive. The amendment received 57.8% support in Monticello Township, 56.4% in Big Lake Township and 55.5% in Becker Township. Countywide, the measure received 65.2% support in Wright County, compared with 59.5% in neighboring

Treichler wins Wright County sheriff's race with 76% of vote

WRIGHT COUNTY — Chief Deputy Matt Treichler will become Wright County's next sheriff after defeating fellow Sheriff's Office veteran Rob Mossman by a decisive margin in Tuesday's election. Treichler received 43,303 votes, or 75.63%, compared with Mossman's 13,713 votes, or 23.95%, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Treichler spent election night at Spilled Grain Brewhouse in his hometown of Annandale, surrounded by family, friends and supporters as the results came in. The Nov. 3 election determined who will succeed Sheriff Sean Deringer, who announced in January that he would not seek a third term. Deringer, first elected in 2018, plans to retire at the end of the year. Treichler, 48, has spent more than 25 years with the Wright County Sheriff's Office, including the past eight years as chief deputy. As second-in-command, he oversees the agency's daily operations, including a budget of approximately $52 million and more than 310 employees. In a postelection statement on his campaign Facebook page, Treichler thanked residents for their support. “I'm incredibly grateful for your trust, your support, and the opportunity to serve as your next sheriff,” he wrote. “I'm excited about what lies ahead and ready to get to

St. Michael declares Shop Small Week, talks Jamison Avenue Corridor

The St. Michael City Council declared Shop Small Week and approved a feasibility report for the Jamison Avenue Corridor extension at its meeting on Oct. 27. 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

Monticello vote reveals divide near proposed data center

MONTICELLO — Candidates who opposed Monticello's proposed data center drew their strongest support in the city voting precinct closest to the 547-acre development, according to unofficial results from Tuesday's general election. Monica Primeau, who challenged incumbent Mayor Lloyd Hilgart, won Precinct 3 by 352 votes, receiving 1,029 votes to Hilgart's 677. It was the only one of Monticello's four precincts carried by Primeau and nearly enough to overcome Hilgart's advantage elsewhere in the city. Hilgart won re-election by just 40 votes, receiving 2,441 votes to Primeau's 2,401. A third candidate, Jeff Rowan, received 710 votes. The geographic pattern extended to the City Council race, where challengers Derek Armstrong and Scott Cutsforth, both critics of the proposed data center, also recorded their strongest performances in Precinct 3. While the results reveal a geographic concentration of support for candidates critical of the development, they cannot establish what motivated individual voters. Support strongest near proposed site Precinct 3 encompasses much of western and central Monticello south of Interstate 94, including neighborhoods along School Boulevard and the city's southwestern edge. The proposed Edmonson Business Center would occupy approximately 547 acres south of 85th Street NE and east of Highway 25, near the precinct's southern

Farber, Michels win Zimmerman council seats; 13-vote margin could lead to recount

Larry Farber and Karen Michels will fill two seats on the Zimmerman City Council, but the outcome of the second seat could face another review after Michels edged Dave Earenfight by just 13 votes. According to the reported results, Farber led the three-candidate field with 1,144 votes, or 33.70%. Michels received 1,113 votes (32.78%), while Earenfight finished with 1,100 votes (32.40%). There were 38 write-in votes. All eight precincts reported, with 100% of precincts reporting in the results posted by the Minnesota Secretary of State. The city is reviewing Minnesota’s election recount provisions to determine whether the 13-vote margin qualifies for a publicly funded recount. According to the Sherburne County Auditor/Treasurer, to have a publicly funded recount the difference must be less than one-quarter of 1 percent of the total votes counted for that office. “There were 3,395 votes cast for this office,” Zimmerman City Clerk Kary Tillman said. “If the math is correct, .25% would be less than 8 votes for a publicly funded recount of the Zimmerman City Council election.” Under that interpretation, a recount requested by a candidate would be considered discretionary and would have to be requested in writing and funded by the candidate. Earenfight said
