May Meeting Highlights
May 19th, 2020 Regular City Council Meeting
PRESENTATIONS:
The first presentation was an update on the 2020 Water Budget by
Roger Shanus. His report showed lowered expenses and
increased funds for the Water Department.
The second presentation was given by Laurie Sperstad
and Jeff Colbeth regarding Backyard Hen Chickens. The
current City code restricts owning chickens to land designated for
agricultural use. Some of the discussion points Laurie and Jeff
gave are the family friendly and education value of chickens, food
security and quality, insect control, natural garden fertilizer, and the
aesthetic appeal to these flightless birds.
THE COUNCIL:
Held a public hearing, following by discussion and action after
closing, for a variance application at the address of 303 Quentin
Avenue North. The variance request was tabled pending results of
a survey.
Decided to reopen City Hall to the public.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) for building inspection services
from Rum River Inspections was approved.
The contract for Interim Administrator Consultant, Ed Shukle, will
not be renewed for June.

IRS Income Tax Returns Due Soon
Due to the coronavirus pandemic the U.S. government decided to
extend the deadline for filing 2019 tax returns and paying any tax due
from April 15 to July 15. Minnesota decided to extend the state income
tax deadline to July 15 to match up with the federal due date. This
may be good news for anyone who has not filed a return yet, however
time is running short to file a return or request an extension.
See irs.gov/corona for federal income tax return information and
https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/our-response-covid-19 for Minnesota
income tax return information for updates as effected by COVID-19.
