The Sibley East SchoolBoard passed an “aggressive”operational capital budget ofover $750,000 at the regularboard meeting on Mondaynight, April 21.

The operational capitalbudget is divided into threeareas: operating capital proj-ects, deferred maintenanceprojects and the facility leaselevy.

The operating capital proj-ects are $417,000 of thebudget. Three fixed items inthis area are the third and lastpayment on the iPad lease for$200,416, copy machinelease and maintenance of$25,000 (year three of five-year contract) and $40,546for the second year lease pay-ment on three buses.

Other items under the oper-ating capital projects includewrestling mats for $5,000, el-ementary reading textbooksfor $40,000, technologyclassroom equipment and$100,000 towards a newlighting and sound system atthe football field and track.

The deferred maintenanceprojects budget totals$250,109. These funds canonly be used to make im-provements, not for anythingnew.

Projects on this list in-clude: $25,000 for a heatingcontract with Honeywell,$90,000 for roof replacementat the elementary building inGaylord, $12,000 for theresurfacing of the gym floors,$45,000 to resurface thetrack, $15,000 for cited boilerrepairs, $15,000 for floorresurfacing, $8,109 for eleva-tor repairs and $40,000 to-wards the football/tracklights.

Another $88,206 is budget-ed for the facility lease levy.This money is already leviedand comes in and goes outagain.

Under the lease levy pay-

ments are: $28,140 for thesatellite buildings in Arling-ton, $10,342 for the SibleyMedical Center-Health Occu-pations class space, $48,224for the River Bend Alterna-tive Program lease and$1,500 for the Gaylord base-ball field and tennis courts.

Dollars for the operationalcapital budget come from dif-ferent levies and reservedfunds.

Superintendent Jim Ams-den said this is “one of themost aggressive capital budg-ets that I think we have seenin quite a while in terms ofaddressing projects, but youhave the fund balances thatare built up, that have beenbuilt up over time by not ad-dressing some of the majorissues. You cannot spend thedollars on other issues. It’s amatter of what your comfortlevel is with the dollars thatremain in reserve.”

He added that the amountsleft in the reserve budgets areadequate going forward andthe district can work to buildthem back up again for futureprojects.

Board Chairperson BrianBrandt added that projects arenot going to get any cheaper.

The estimated reserve fundbalances at the end of the2014-15 school year are$105,000.

Football Field& Track

The lighting at the footballfield and track has been aconcern for many years. Cur-rently the district has to turnon the lights at the baseballfield and tennis courts to helpilluminate the football fieldfor evening games.

It has been a continuedsafety concern for the districtand game officials for manyyears.

Sibley County Commis-sioners were strongly urgedto be more assertive withstate and federal agencies inregard to concerns about theTrunk Highway 25/CountyDitch 1A improvement issue.

Land owners impacted byflooding upstream of ErinLake presented their discon-tent at the county board meet-ing on Tuesday, April 22.

In return, county officialssaid they were in support ofthe land owners, expressingtheir own frustration withagency inaction and the toss-ing of obstacles in front ofthem as they work to makeprogress.

Flood IssuesMore than a year ago, the

Minnesota Department ofTransportation (MnDOT)identified the need to replacethe existing metal arch pipein a culvert due to potentialpipe failure. In conjunction,county staff worked withMnDOT to develop a plan totake care of watershed flood-ing issues.

A cooperative agreementwas written, approved andsigned by the county boardand MnDOT. However, theconcept for adding pipe ca-pacity and flood control stoplogs ran into a roadblock withU.S. Fish & Wildlife and U.S.Army Corps of Engineerspermit review. Resolution ofthis is still pending.

In October, MnDOT had toclose the road due to safetyconcerns and replace the sin-gle pipe under an emergencycontract.

In November, the new pipewas installed along with adrop log structure. MnDOTsaid it needs to have a secondagreement that addresses themaintenance of the structureand placement or removal of

stop logs by the county.This control is what Fish &

Wildlife and U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers has notbeen willing to give to SibleyCounty.

Meeting In Green Isle

Jeff Majeski, Sibley Coun-ty Environmental ServicesDirector, said he has set up ameeting with the DNR and asmany of the parties involvedas possible at the Green IsleCity Office at 9 a.m. Friday,April 25. Land owners on CD29 and 39A are also invited toattend.

At Tuesday’s board meet-ing, Green Isle area residentNeil Dacey represented agroup of land owners who areupset after spending moneyon improvements they claimto be worse off. He said thenew drop log structure put inplace by the DNR is restrict-ing the flow of water.

“It just isn’t working out,”said Dacey about the struc-ture. “Plus, the thing was notput in right, it is too high.Last year we spent $40 to$50,000 to clean out thatchannel to the lake. Now yougot this thing in there block-ing the water, catching all thegarbage. If the water couldflow free the channel wouldstay open.”

Dacey said there are a lotof land owners from aroundthe area who can’t afford tobe drowned out. He askedwhy non-elected officials arein control when the county isthe ditch drainage authority.

“We are asking you to tryharder to do something,” saidDacey. “We have been uphere forever. We hired alawyer and an engineer andwe keep going backwards.”

County Board In Support

County Board chairpersonJoy Cohrs said the board fullysupports the land owners,adding its hands have beentied. She added, “We havebeen fighting with all theseagencies which we can’t con-trol. We have to get approvalfrom them.”

Majeski said at the meetingon Friday he will ask theDNR to explain the 1975 per-mit versus the one that it re-cently amended to where itrequires two feet of stop logs.Also discussed will be the op-tions being considered for theimprovement, all that set cer-tain elevations to please Fish& Wildlife so they have areasfor their shore birds.

“For all the land improve-ment projects I am dealingwith right now in SibleyCounty, I am fighting with atleast two agencies on eachone,” said Majeski. “Our en-gineer keeps getting hurdlesthrown in front of him byFish and Wildlife. Right nowit is hands off for SibleyCounty. This has been anightmare.”

As an example, County Ad-ministrator Matt Jaunich saidthe county has been in discus-sion with the Corps of Engi-neers since February of 2013.The parties met again in Oc-tober and November alongwith a representative fromColin Peterson’s office.

“We were told they wouldget back to us by the end ofthe year and we still have notheard back from them,” saidJaunich. “We continue tocontact Fish and Wildlife andthey continue to tell us theyare working on it. We weretold in February of this yearwe had to reapply for the per-mit we filed a year earlier,even though we have not got-ten a response back on thefirst permit.”

Jaunich said he got anemail last week from Fish

and Wildlife which said theamendment of the 1975 per-mit was between them andthe DNR and the county wasleft out of it.

AmendmentTodd Sprengler asked

County Attorney DavidSchauer how they can changethe 1975 law with no hearingwhatsoever, adding it must beunlawful. Schauer said theDNR was given charge oflake elevation in 1972.

“The county had been ableto move the logs around for20 years, but now they can’teven get a key to do it,” saidSprengler.

Majeski said he was told bythe DNR that the key is forall locks in the state and hecould not have it for thisstructure.

“This can be salvaged yet,but we need your support asthe ditch authority,” saidSprengler. “I got to believeyou have a little more flex inyour muscle. We will throwthe idea out on Friday that ifthe DNR will take this struc-ture out and let the watercome into the culvert, we willhave a way to raise or lowerthe water with no obstruc-tion.”

Majeski said whatever op-tion is picked there will be anassessment to land ownersover and about what we have.One option has a price tag ofmore than $300,000.

“We are not asking formuch,” said Dacey. “Thereshould be a little leewaywhere we put something inthat can keep the water at alevel they want and where itdoes not flood farm landareas and drown out ourcrops. It is a very simple fixto control what we have. Wedon’t need a second pipe.”

OpinionsSchool Board approves aggressive operational

capital budgetOur View: Aggressive move sends a

positive and exciting message

Guest Column

Whether it is justified or not, the belief among manyschool district residents is that maintenance and repairshave not been a high priority at the Sibley East PublicSchools over the years. A move by the School Board, dur-ing its regular monthly meeting on Monday night, April 21,may change the minds of some people. The School Board,by an unanimous vote, approved an aggressive operationalcapital budget of over $750,000.

The timing for these projects is perfect since these en-deavors cannot wait until another bond referendum is pro-posed and placed on the ballot.

Included under the operational capital projects and de-ferred maintenance projects are new lighting and soundsystem at the football field and track in Arlington, trackresurfacing in Arlington, roof replacement at the elemen-tary school building in Gaylord, resurfacing of gym floors,elementary reading textbooks, wrestling mats, technologyclassroom equipment, floor resurfacing, boiler repairs andelevator repairs.

Sibley East, with the influx of additional money and solidreserves, was finally in position to tackle a variety of im-provement projects that have been pushed off for years.The School Board, with its move on Monday night, has fi-nally delivered. It has also sent a strong message that main-tenance and repairs really matter at the Sibley East PublicSchools.

******A pastor was saying farewell to

his congregation at the Church doorsfor the last time. He shook the handof an elderly lady as she walked out.

She said “Your successor won't beas good as you.”

“Nonsense,” said the pastor, in aflattered tone.

“No, really,” said the old lady,“I've been here under five differ-ent ministers, and each new onehas been worse than the last.”

*****Things To Ponder

1. Escalators don’t break down…they just turn into stairs

2. “I’m sorry” and “I apologize”mean the same thing… except whenyou’re at a funeral.

3. I intend to live forever… or dietrying.

4. We never knew he was adrunk… until he showed up to worksober.

5. A clear conscience is usually thesign of a bad memory.

6. A blind man walks into a bar….and a table, and a chair.

7. At what age is it appropriate totell my dog that he’s adopted?

8. Want to hear a pizza joke….nah, it’s too cheesy. What about aconstruction joke? Oh never mind,I’m still working on that one. Didyou hear the one about the rope?Skip it. Have you heard the oneabout the guy in the wheelchair?Never mind, it’s too lame.

9. I used to be in a band, we werecalled “lost dog.” You probably sawour posters.

10. I childproofed the house… butthey still get in!

*****Today’s Parenting Tip: Treat a

difficult child the way you wouldyour boss at work. Praise hisachievements, ignore his tantrumsand resist the urge to sit him downand explain to him how his brain isnot yet fully developed. ~RobertBrault

*****Harry walked over to the priest

after services, “You know Father, Iam really stuck in a quandary. Iwould like to attend church nextweek but I just can’t miss the biggame next Sunday. It’s just out ofthe question.”

“Oh Harry, Harry” said the priestputting his arm around Harry, “don’tyou know that’s what recorders arefor?”

Harry’s face lit up, “You mean Icould record your sermon?”

*****Sarah, a sales associate at Wal-

mart, notices a man in the card sec-tion. When she walks by an hourlater and sees him still there shewalks over to see if she can help.

“Can I help you?” she asks. “Well I don’t know” the man re-

sponds “I’m having a problem, Ican’t find anything that my wifewould believe!”

By Lee H. HamiltonFive years ago, the federal gov-

ernment spent $169 billion to fundbasic research and development.This fiscal year, it’s down to $134billion.

People who believe in public belt-tightening applaud drops like that. Iunderstand why: there are many rea-sons to reduce government spend-ing. But in this case they’re wrong.We need to boost the government’sinvestment in R&D, not slash it.

Let’s begin with the federal gov-ernment’s record, which is nothingshort of impressive. The bar codesthat revolutionized inventory controland tracking were developed with agrant from the National ScienceFoundation. Google’s founders de-pended on government grants fortheir early research into search algo-rithms. Computer touch-screens,computer-aided design, GPS naviga-tion, voice-activated “virtual assis-tants,” the internet — all based ongovernment research or funds. Sowere key advancements in agricul-ture (including the “easy-care cot-ton” you’ll find in your permanent-press slacks), the horizontal drillingtechniques that have turned the U.S.into a natural-gas powerhouse, andmany life-saving pharmaceuticals.

The plain truth is that much of theresearch that catalyzes and acceler-ates technological advance is toorisky, too slow to pay off, or too ex-pensive for the private sector to un-dertake. “Today, the scope, durationand cost of breakthrough research iseither beyond the private sector’scorporate and philanthropic re-sources or outside its profit model,”wrote Teresa Tritch in The NewYork Times last year.

This is not welcome news formarket absolutists, but clearly thereis a government role to play in un-derpinning economic dynamism.Mariana Mazzucato, a British econ-omist who last year published abracing book on the subject, “TheEntrepreneurial State,” argues thatfederal government programs suchas Small Business Innovation Re-search and the Defense AdvancedResearch Projects Agency have pro-vided far more funding for early-stage technology companies thanprivate venture capital has done.

Mazzucato writes, “Not only hasgovernment funded the riskiest re-search, whether applied or basic, butit has indeed often been the sourceof the most radical, path-breakingtypes of innovation. To this extent ithas actively created markets, notjust fixed them.”

There is no question that therewill be waste in research and devel-opment, just as private corporationssometimes veer onto the wrongtrack. All you need do is think backto 2012 and the scandal surroundingSolyndra, the Silicon Valley-basedsolar panel manufacturer that col-lapsed, leaving taxpayers on thehook for $535 million in federalloan guarantees.

Opponents of public spendingoften seize on cases like this tomake their point — convenientlyforgetting that Apple, too, benefitednot just from the government re-search that created many of the tech-nologies it uses, but from early sup-port from the Small Business Invest-ment Company program.

The point is not that governmentinvestment in research and develop-ment is better or worse than private-

sector investment, but that collabo-ration between government and in-dustry puts us in a stronger positioncompetitively than either sector act-ing alone. Both are needed to solvebig problems.

Which is why the cuts we’re see-ing in federal R&D spending are soalarming. We’re already down to alevel of funding last seen over adecade ago, and a study last year bythe American Association for theAdvancement of Science sees some$53 billion in federal R&D invest-ment at risk if the sequester remainsin place for another three years. It isimpossible to know how many newproducts and even new industrieswon’t get developed as a result, butit’s certainly safe to say that the U.S.economy — and we as Americans— will bear the cost of these un-spent dollars well into the future.

We live in an era of pervasiveanti-government sentiment. There isno question, as I have argued manytimes before, that both Congress andthe executive branch need to im-prove their game and learn how tobecome more effective and lesswasteful of both time and money.But the importance of federal spend-ing on research and development isundeniable. At a time when we as anation face mounting economicchallenges and a raft of eager busi-ness competitors, cutting investmentin R&D, rather than expanding it, isfoolhardy.

RSFiber Project

Lowell Nagel, SEDCO board member, and HaroldJackson, Gaylord resident, were invited to Win-dom to re-visit their fiber operation, Windomnet.Lowell has been following it since 2007 and want-ed to clarify some false reports. Every township inSibley County has this information for easy deci-sion making. If you want to know the good andbad about the Monticello fiber just call the Win-dom phone number for accurate information.

This will be published in local papers, Winthrop,Gaylord, Arlington and Henderson. I was taughtthe basics of life by many parents. I was taught thebasics of business by a gentleman with four yearsof education. The most important thing he told mewas to never tell llies or falsehoods about yourcompetition, it will come back to haunt you.

Excerpt: Windom Fiber Update, written by Steve

Downer of the Minnesota Mu-nicipal Utilities

Association, March 2014.WindomNet was criticized as a

failed project by a private telephonecompany, but in fact Windom mademoney last year and is poised to be agreat success.

Demand was so high that it led toincreased costs early on. The originalplan was for 1,400 service drops.WindomNet put in 2,200. Whenyou’re successful, you have to buy alot more capital equipment. Demandhas far outstripped initial projections.

WindomNet has provided numer-

ous benefits to residents, schools,health care, business and industry inthe city and surrounding region. Andthe enterprise finished last year with$22,000 more in revenues than ex-penses.

The latest economic developmentsuccess involves the purchase, byFast, of three lots in a new city indus-trial park. The manufacturer of agri-cultural applicators and sprayers isbuilding a 144,000 square foot pro-duction facility. The company, whichwill employ 90 people, needed a size-able broadband connection.

Another notable economic devel-opment story involves Fortune Truck-ing. The company, located 1.5 milesoutside of Windom, installed a new

$30,000 phone system in 2010. De-spite earlier assurances, a large multi-state phone provider then said itcouldn’t deliver the services needed.

If Fortune didn’t get the telecomservices it needed it would move toRoswell. Six weeks later the City ofWindom had fiber optic cable run.

WindomNet maintains a great re-lationship with TORO. When TOROneeds an upgraded circuit, they makeone phone call and the upgradedservice is provided, even the sameday.

WindomNet has also been a boonto the Windom Area Hospital. Withthe new municipal service, readingX-rays, heart monitors, and MRIs isoften done remotely, due to reliable,

high-speed internet connections.Doctors, in some cases, video-confer-ence with patients. The facility has315 phone numbers and those costswere reduced with WindomNet serv-ice, which also eliminated the needfor long-distance phone lines.

WindomNet has built out the fibersystem to 11 other communities in itsarea. Service in those communities isbeing provided by Southwest Min-nesota Broadband Services (SMBS),headquartered in Lakefield. LikeWIndomNet, SMBS offers a superiorproduct and customer service, andalso provides local programming.

Initial sign up for fiber service inthe 11 comunities has been above 60percent. www.windomnet.com
