The Cottonwood County Board of Commissioners covered a wide range of issues at their regular meeting Tuesday, including public safety, infrastructure, and environmental conservation. On Tuesday, the commissioners approved an amended ordinance regulating cannabis-oriented businesses and addressed several drainage projects, including approval of engineering fees for the String Lake Project. In road-related business, the board awarded a $5.39 million construction bid to Duininck, Inc. for multiple projects and directed the County Engineer to support potential MnDOT safety improvements at two rural intersections, Highway 62 and County Road 5, and Highways 30 and 71. With the high number of accidents at both of these intersections, MnDOT has placed them both on a list for potential safety upgrades that may include roundabouts. The board also backed grant applications for environmental and infrastructure upgrades—including repairs to the Talcot Lake dam—and approved equipment purchases for the Public Works and Communications departments. In staffing updates, Nicholas Anderson was appointed County Attorney, and several personnel changes were approved in the Sheriff’s Office and Legal Department. Commissioners also gave the green light for the Farmers Market to operate around the courthouse on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

The Windom City Council met on Tuesday also and I will be covering their meeting in tomorrows news. BUT I just have to say that if people don’t understand that during City wide clean-up only 10 items will be picked up there really is some gap in communication… I absolutely loved the comments at the end of Windom City Council Meeting and PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO the RADIO… THE NEWSPAPER… WORD of MOUTH, SOCIAL MEDIA, Your UTILITY BILL… I just don’t think there is a form of Communication that has not been covered!!! IF you have more than 10 bulk items and if you have electronics or appliances THEY WILL NOT PICK this stuff up! You can take your extra items but not electronics or appliances to Tegals Park which is the Park at Cottonwood Lake to dispose of… BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT!!! Happy Clean-up Day!!!
