Andover approves pair of street reconstruction assessments

The Andover City Council approved more than $575,000 in assessments Nov. 4 for two completed street reconstruction projects. Both votes were 4-0. Property owners in both project areas can pay their full assessments within one month without interest. They can also have the assessments added to their property taxes from 2027 through 2034 at 4.07% interest. Public Works Director Dave Berkowitz said the first project rebuilt streets in Kadlec Estates, a neighborhood with 13 parcels east of Hanson Boulevard and north of 150th Lane. Based on the bid, the project cost $457,949.96. The city’s share was $343,462.47, and assessments totaled $114,487.49. The assessment is $8,806.73 per unit, with annual installments of $1,311.83. Berkowitz showed before-and-after photos of streets that had extensive alligator cracking and patched potholes. The reconstruction included new concrete curbs and pavement.

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
