Supplier seeks $116,000, foreclosure on historical society property

A building-materials supplier is seeking more than $116,000 from Welter Construction LLC and Roger Welter in a lawsuit that also asks for foreclosure on property owned by the Morrison County Historical Society. The case is assigned to Judge Meriel B. Lester. A scheduling conference was set for 11 a.m. Nov. 12, according to the court’s register of actions. SRS Distribution Inc. filed the lawsuit May 20 in Morrison County District Court, alleging it was not paid for materials supplied to Welter Construction for improvements to the historical society’s property. According to the complaint, SRS furnished the materials between Sept. 17 and Oct. 15, 2025. The company alleges the materials had an agreed price and reasonable value of $116,006.22 and that none of the balance had been paid. The complaint identifies Welter Construction as the company that contracted for the materials and the historical society as the property owner. It alleges the materials were used in improvements to the property with the knowledge and consent of the parties. SRS says it recorded a mechanic’s lien against the property Feb. 6. The company is asking the court to recognize and enforce that lien and order the property sold, with proceeds applied toward

St. Cloud Weighs Letting Apartments Rise Downtown and Along Highway 10

Roosevelt Rd. & Hwy. 10 — Approximate Proposed Apartment Corridor. St. Cloud is moving to make it easier to build apartments downtown and along the city's busiest commercial roads, with a zoning change that would let stand-alone apartment buildings rise in three commercial districts where today housing is confined to upper floors above shops and offices. The proposal goes before the city's Planning Commission Tuesday, and if it clears that hurdle, it still faces a City Council public hearing and vote before anything changes.

Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

School board approves bonds for building upgrades, parking

More parking at two schools and air quality improvements at the high school are part of a facility improvement package moving forward in Little Falls Community Schools. The Little Falls School Board on Monday approved a resolution authorizing up to $23.265 million in general obligation bonds. The financing would cover air quality upgrades, roofing, high school remodeling and parking improvements at Little Falls Community High School and Lincoln Elementary School. For the owner of a $225,000 home, district officials estimated the package would mean about $150 more in annual property taxes. The increase would come in two steps: roughly $110 in taxes payable in 2027 and another $40 in 2028. “If you take it all together, the estimated tax impact is $150 on a $225,000 home,” said Michael Hart, who presented the financing plan to the board. The resolution sets a maximum interest rate of 6%. Before approving the financing, the board held a public hearing on a nine-year property tax abatement for the parking projects. No one offered comments or questions. Plans call for 86 additional parking stalls at the high school and 26 at Lincoln. At the high school, the work would reduce parallel parking along the south
