Weekly Blast!: Did you step outside last evening to witness the total lunar eclipse? Amazing! Please make note that the Transfer Station will close at 5pm on Wednesdays starting September 2. So, open 11am until 5pm. Saturdays remain the same at 9am until 5pm. Thank you for your consideration. This week our public works employees replaced a failing culvert on 100th Street S between Quarry and County Road W. Next week another will be replaced on 90th Street S, also between Quarry and CTH W. However, that one will be installed by local contractors. Also, next week those living on the northern ½ of 87th Street between Tower and Evergreen will see ~ 30 loads of crushed red granite hauled and graded. It’s been a long wait for these residents to have something other than “sugar sand” on their roadway. High five to grader operator Steve Dobeck who has been doing a great job this season. Enjoy this beautiful weather – cool mornings and warm afternoons and evenings. Take care, Sharon

Weekly News Blast

The Kellner Corn Fest parade begins tomorrow (8/16) at 11:00 am. Please join in the fun! The Town will be represented by Treasurer Greg Hakala and Clerk Stefanie Schlapa riding in our patrol truck and employee Steve Dobeck operating our grader. I think Uncle Sam might be visible in one of the vehicles…

At our monthly board meeting on Wednesday Clerk Schlapa reported that town taxpayers have paid $67,142.36 in attorney fees due to the lawsuits filed by former Supervisor Heather Grys-Luecht. The Town Board had hoped to spend nearly $100,000 in highway maintenance this season (crack-sealing, asphalt patching, culvert cleaning, road base material, etc). Unfortunately, these suits have taken away nearly 2/3rds of our budget so as Supervisor Provost said at the meeting, “we are trying to do more with less”. I just wish we could do more with more. But for the 2025 construction season that will not be possible. We apologize for any inconvenience but when someone sues the Town, we all pay.  

Have fun this weekend, Sharon
