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

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
