Judge Clears Anoka County to Build Bigger Jail, Orders City to Yield Street

A district court judge has ruled that Anoka County can move forward with a larger downtown jail and take over part of a city street to do it, despite years of objections from Anoka city leaders.

ISD 728 weighs facility options after referendum defeat

Unofficial results from all 34 precincts showed 20,925 voters, or 55.46%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.54%, who supported it. The 4,118-vote margin left the district facing the challenge of addressing needs that Superintendent Andy Almos says remain even though the proposal did not receive enough support to move forward. “While we are disappointed, we respect the voters’ decision,” Almos said in a written response to the Star News. “We now need to listen carefully, understand the concerns that shaped the outcome, determine a path forward, and understand the tradeoffs of not moving this proposal.” Almos said he was encouraged by the community’s engagement and the questions raised during the district’s information process. He was hopeful heading into Election Day but did not take the outcome for granted. The result, he said, does not necessarily indicate which parts of the proposal voters opposed or what concerns ultimately determined the outcome. “It tells us this particular proposal did not receive enough support,” he said. “The result alone does not tell us whether the deciding concern was cost, the combination of projects, timing or something else.” The proposal included up to $350 million in bonds and a 10-year capital

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

Lake girls CC teams dominate the State AAA Meet

Perennial state contender Evie Malec, Minnetonka’s senior girls cross country captain, climbed to the top of the mountain in the State Class AAA Meet Saturday, Nov. 7, at Majestic Oaks Golf Course in Ham Lake. Malec sped to the state championship with a 5K time of 17 minutes, 33 seconds. Her performance led a Lake Conference rush that produced eight of the top 15 individual finishers. Lyla Drayna, the Edina sophomore, was second at state in 17:42.6. Fourth place went to Minnetonka ninth-grader Isla Griggs in 18:02.9 and sixth was another Lake ninth-grader, St. Michael-Albertville’s Makenzie Myran in 18:05.2. Rounding out the list of top-15 runners from Lake schools are Edina junior Eva Jain eighth, Hopkins senior Morgan Waechter ninth, Wayzata sophomore Faith Sundet 13th and Eden Prairie sophomore Winona Nelson 15th. The race for individual honors mirrored the chase for the team championship. Blaine broke through to take the title with 65 points. Second with 97 was Wayzata and third and fourth were Edina and Minnetonka, both with 119 points. St. Michael-Albertville took home fifth place with 126. Between cross country, track and Nordic skiing, Malec probably holds the Minnetonka school record for state medals won. What stands out

Memorial golf tournament raises $8,000 for Open Doors for Youth

Sept. 12 was a perfect day for golf and a meaningful day to honor the memory of Noelle M. Anderson at the 27th annual Noelle M. Anderson Memorial Golf Tournament. More than 100 golfers gathered at Elk River Golf Course, raising $8,000 for Open Doors for Youth, this year’s beneficiary. Elliott and Chris Anderson presented the donation to Cindy Ley, executive director of Open Doors for Youth, which operates a drop-in center for youth ages 16-24 experiencing homelessness or housing instability. The organization recently opened The Next Door, a transitional housing program that provides a safe, supportive home for youth ages 18-24. In past years, tournament proceeds often funded scholarships for local high school students. Last year, the Andersons shifted to directing all funds raised to Open Doors for Youth to support the essential resources and services it provides to local youth. “We are thrilled that these funds can go directly to youth in need in our community,” Chris Anderson said.
