At the City of Crosby Council on March 27, Councilman Paul Heglund read a prepared statement about Mayor Jim Hunter at the beginning of the meeting. “Well first of all,” Heglund said, “I think the Mayor should have at least let somebody know he wasn’t coming tonight. And second I think He’s given Crosby a real black eye, from what he’s done.” Heglund concluded, “I think he should resign.” Mayor Jim Hunter was not present at the meeting due to restrictions still imposed from the unresolved hearing that was postponed earlier that day. According to Hunter, the hearing has been postponed until Thursday, April 6, because of an ongoing investigation being conducted by the City of Crosby Police Department, which has seized his cash, bank accounts, and personal and business records. No one in attendance gave a response or futher comment to Heglund’s statement. The meeting continued with the public comments portion of the meeting. Public Comment Former Mayor Joanna Lattery came forward as a Crosby resident to talk about the fact that Kitchigami Regional Library System (KRLS) had voted to not accept the Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library (JFHML) into their system at their last meeting. “This was not because of anything that the City or JFHML had done wrong,”
Lattery said. “But in my opinion, the City of Brainerd and the Brainerd Public Library were opposed to the possibility it would receive less funds in upcoming years, if the JFHML joined the system. The decision by the KRLS board presents challenges for the City of Crosby and the JFHML. As you are aware, the library is run at a deficit and the [JFHML] Friends Foundation have annually launched a fund raising campaign to make up the shortfall. The City of Crosby received a letter from the Hallett Charitable Trust indicating the amount of funding would be reduced in future years, if the City did not join KRLS. Whether the funding remains the same or is reduced, the library has been running at a shortfall. I therefore recommend the council appoint a temporary library commission of five Crosby residents, who would be charged with reviewing current operations and funding and provide recommendations to the city council on what plans may be [implemented] to continue to serve the community with the same or less funding. I futher recommend, this commission be created sooner rather than later, so that it’s recommendations can be taken into consideration, when the budget for the 2018 is created. The members of the commssion should be Crosby residents, who are not or have not been employed by the library or have served on the library

board. I recommend residents who are passionate about Crosby’s future, but who will look at the dilemma at the Library without bias. It’s just a recommendation. We don’t know what the trustees are going to do. But they did state in a letter to the City of Crosby that they were going to be reducing funding at that time, a certain amount. But we do not know, if they will hold to that. And I think that it would be remiss of the council not to take this into consideration and look at this now rather than later.” Acting Mayor Ron Prushek asked if there was any other public comments. There was no discussion
or further comments made on Lattery’s suggestion at that time. However, later the council talked about the KRLS board dening the application submitted by the City of Crosby to become a signatory city within KRLS and operate the JFHML as a branch of their system. Councilman Jim Goshey said after Thursdays meeting with the Hallett Trustees they might have a clearer picture of what was going to happen. There was some discussion about the proposed library commission idea Lattery had presented earlier in the meeting. However nothing was decided and no action or motion was made.
Utility Improvement Project Financing To explain financing options for the Third St. SW Utility Improvement Project, Jessica Green of Northland Securities gave the cost breakdown comparison for 10, 12 and 15 year bonding or loan options and effect on residents utility bills. The residents average monthly utility bill increase for 10 year financing is about $14.73, for 12 year financing is about $13.00 and 15 year financing is about $11.00. Green said the local bank would only be able to offer the 10 year term for financing. Continued on Page 5

Reedy indicated the filings have been done already. She talked about the various funds and type of accounting being used for the city.

Rylee Oehrlein benefit for alert dog
There will be a benefit for Rylee Oehrlein at the St. Mathias Park Pavilion, 4548 Co. Rd. 121, Fort Ripley on Saturday, April 8 from 4 p.m. to midnight. Tickets are $10 and the event will include
Activities during this benefit include a DJ, 50/50 drawing, quilt raffle, silent auction, live auction, meal and cash bar. Rylee Oehrlein is a 13 year old, 8th grader at Browerville school. He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in February, 2011. He struggles daily with his blood sugars. He has had numerous hospital stays, emergency room visits and multiple doctor’s appointments. Money is being raised for a diabetic alert dog to help Rylee. With the help of his alert dog, Rylee will be notified when his levels are high or low. Currently, Rylee’s dog is in training in Las Vegas.
When Rylee has a diabetic attack, he puts cotton balls in his mouth, which absorbs his saliva. Those cotton balls are then shipped to Las Vegas where scent training takes place. Although the two haven’t met yet, his service dog will be very familiar with Rylee’s scents and will be able to help him tremendously. Rylee plans on meeting his dog in May or June - depending on how long it takes her to learn the scents. If you can’t make it to the fundraiser, financial gifts and donations are being accepted at: www.gofundme.com or Rylee Oehrlein, P.O. Box 34, Browerville, MN 56438.

New MidMinnesota Federal Credit Union branch opens in Aitkin By ANN SCHWARTZ After a long remodeling
process, that included the complete renovation of a
building in west Aitkin that was first a funeral home and
then a daycare -- MidMinnesota Federal Credit Union opened a branch in Aitkin on January 17. This is in addition to branches in Crosby, Alexandria, Baxter, Brainerd, Detroit Lakes, Little Falls, Pequot Lakes, Staples and Twin Valley. Ashley Warner is the branch manager at both the Aitkin and Crosby sites. She
is joined by three other employees: Assistant Manager Valorie Barglof-Broeckert; Member services specialist/ teller Jill Decent and Teller Michele McIntyre. The grand opening was celebrated in a Business After Hours event on March 16 that had a packed house. The branch is open Monday through Friday during business hours with the
drive-up window open on Saturdays. They offer checking and savings accounts, lending, mortgages, business loans and safety deposit boxes “I moved to Aitkin about a year ago and I’m super-excited to be in the Aitkin Community, said Warner. “And I’m glad the branch was opened in this community too.”
Great careers and benefits with a growing organization Opportunities available:
