The resolution matters because a prior road realignment left sections of the original right-of-way that the county no longer uses; vacating those segments is a routine administrative step that can return land to adjacent owners or simplify property records.

Mel Lowden explained that about 20–25 years ago the road was realigned and “when we installed the sewer and water around Green Lake, we put that all within a 35 foot or 70 foot, corridor around the lake 35 on each side of the road. And so from that 35 foot line out, we don't really use for any reason.” Lowden said two applications sought vacation: previously the county vacated a portion (identified in the packet as Lot B) and the current packet contained applications for Lots A, C and D.

Lowden characterized the action as routine “clean up” and recommended passage of Resolution 2025‑17 to vacate the identified portions of Old County Road 95. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by voice vote; no roll call or recorded objections were in the transcript.

The resolution directs platting and recording steps required for right-of-way vacation under county practice; staff said easements related to existing sewer and water were already established when those utilities were placed within the 35‑foot corridors.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kandiyohi County Board 6/3/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The county board adopted Resolution 2025‑17 to vacate portions of Old County Road 95 east of Green Lake that were left unused after a realignment; the county engineer said the areas fall outside the 35-foot corridor used for sewer and water and are eligible for vacation.","taxTitle","Kandiyohi County, Minnesota","taxId",70688,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216305,"County approves developer agreement for Nest Lake sewer and water improvements",323,2562000,2885000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502&start=2562&end=2885","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502/thumbnail_2562000.jpg","/articles/6216305/Kandiyohi-County/Minnesota/County-approves-developer-agreement-for-Nest-Lake-sewer-and-water-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216305-ecf2240cbfb0f7435303f9e5ccc9f8ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089914&Signature=CgFTppJRLexSQoj79YDGqValJYQP-v1INKMB-XKOYenEvZdEDruNAaFPvJswMNFy9lYkVE-yeGqCkeDPuxU~jUjPRhpWPkF8RuWvk--8t1u77OIwRIF40Tv-FTvIX7lXlWY1Taq5Z4iQFsPkF1UAk~E55K6CHOUp8nrXsls2cfjilE0~3001E2tsNHWMnxP7qfkU7P8ntj8TiCAvEwqeRA3HQywn8nUfbc0HZJs7WIASOFNqvn7anKa-vxxmalBGtvrt~~sHb3hgRbsnqSrq8dyqDN8vGlc8ZLAUFVLC74aRaG0uM3HaQuplRhN4~uEkAmL0XRqjEZJPOzA-SX-KKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kandiyohi County Board authorized county staff to sign a developer's agreement with Glacier Lake Sanitary Sewer and Water District to extend sewer and water service to a planned development called the Nest on the southeast side of Nest Lake.

The action matters because it formalizes who will build and ultimately own new utilities for 17 residential units and a clubhouse, clarifies developer responsibility for costs and allows county and district engineers to finalize required easements and state reviews.

Corey Smith, director of Glacier Lake Sanitary Sewer and Water District, told the board the Nest is “located on the Far Southeast Side of Nest Lake, just West of the Old Mill Spillway” and said the development will require six manholes, about 578 feet of 8‑inch sanitary sewer main, about 592 feet of 6‑inch water main and two new fire hydrants. Smith said the sanitary sewer will flow by gravity to an existing lift station between units 5 and 6 and that, under district practice, “developers pay or bear 100% of the costs associated with the new development or the new infrastructure.”

Smith said engineers reviewed plans and that approvals were pending or in process from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Department of Health; he also said the Glacier Lakes Commission recommended forwarding the agreement to the county board on April 28, 2025. Ownership of completed infrastructure will transfer to Glacial Lakes or the county once construction meets district standards, Smith said. He also noted two easements included in the board packet: one for operation and maintenance of the new sewer and water lines and another for an existing storm sewer.

Commissioners asked about stormwater and hydrant placement; staff said the planning commission had already addressed surface runoff matters and the district showed a map of the hydrant layout. The board moved, seconded and approved the staff recommendation to authorize the county administrator and the chair to sign the developer’s agreement. The transcript records the motion carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally is recorded.","The county board authorized the county administrator and chair to sign a developer agreement with Glacier Lake Sanitary Sewer and Water District for infrastructure to serve 17 residential units and a clubhouse at the Nest development; the district and state reviewers are involved.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216310,"University of Minnesota Extension presents 4‑H participation goals, outreach plans",1087,1451000,2538000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502&start=1451&end=2538","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502/thumbnail_1451000.jpg","/articles/6216310/Kandiyohi-County/Minnesota/University-of-Minnesota-Extension-presents-4H-participation-goals-outreach-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216310-f884da9992380b4f984a8e133d4c198a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089914&Signature=Xjl0YWivlRk9g9JZ4vVeHpBEJ3c8oHACqH5KBR63XIBOZSkz9CW8CAG8xsHCfDpesQ5ti30QzdtXGNC45s7Czd0QQxAkCraS9k7oYUyW6TIxEa8bc3c7xrztIMWaoq5LhYUD7f9aTXHoHRGmlNpp5Yvebcukp2J8X9Fq0aqsDXhgrm~FSr~pw7heYfJnF0kLmX6XZNH~Gzyf1qOJ~1hwQVosxPtFi-MxjF8HBcc65i0gUokJdAq9Ppd7gXSJQr5Rozdw-MS3a5F8W4K7DSgeBpQdy-GyWc232u3J3G0oUdyap2dD09BTLIiqyCU-r3PqyDKlc1WaSXLQWwGSo4zl2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","University of Minnesota Extension educators presented an update on 4‑H programming in Kandiyohi County, reporting current enrollment, volunteer numbers and goals for program growth and retention.

The presentation matters because Extension’s outreach and volunteer base supports youth development and links to school-based programming, workforce-readiness initiatives and community partners across the county.

Regional director Tricia Sheehan and Kandiyohi County extension educators Beth Dietz and Kylie Sherrod told the board the current 4‑H year runs Oct. 1–Sept. 30 and provided enrollment figures: “we have 11 chartered clubs and 98 volunteers … within those clubs, we have 227 youth participating,” Sherrod said. They said additional school and outreach programs reached 345 youth this year.

Extension described program goals including a 10% enrollment increase for the year, a retention goal to keep 70% of Cloverbud participants (kindergarten through third grade) and work to diversify membership by partnering with five more community organizations. Sherrod said the county will use site-based, after-school and project clubs (for example, a shooting-sports project club) to reach youth who cannot travel to traditional community clubs.

Speakers framed the work within a statewide campaign called Beyond Ready aimed at preparing youth for work and life; Extension staff said a national goal of reaching 10 million youth by 2030 influences local programming adjustments and more school-based outreach. Commissioners asked about outreach to underserved communities; educators said current work in Wilmar public schools and programs such as Kids Connection at the mall are part of that effort.

The board thanked Extension staff and encouraged continued school partnerships and volunteer recruitment. No board action was taken; presenters were invited to return next year with progress updates.","University of Minnesota Extension staff updated the county board on 4‑H participation numbers, growth and retention goals, school outreach and a statewide 'Beyond Ready' initiative to reach more youth by 2030.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216315,"Kandiyohi County approves higher daily fee for work-release GPS monitoring",192,1241000,1433000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502&start=1241&end=1433","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502/thumbnail_1241000.jpg","/articles/6216315/Kandiyohi-County/Minnesota/Kandiyohi-County-approves-higher-daily-fee-for-work-release-GPS-monitoring","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216315-9078a9be28ba43bdf0d3708ee2e720e6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089914&Signature=O6uoNAO-SzQNQEZP3Z3X6oGXVITLfwtlpJrApofAZK7BWycWBNEl3uFhFvc8GaNwVprZa6iL~Vmfb-2QfJK5qjm6bogdW5JjhYaBCDgJN4GiPyH1yr6GZq~MXiQgxXMj90xNRWGFVrq5Jca7ySqk3UxS3jlmlaQ9RGWBooSOZrlRL45VRRWvP96cIqQSuKQQt5DAyJozTmMqxzbuwSqY4g4XaLYw-4FlVX88QDKHO956RzueIv9GkdyfrNHDxN~VuHKCMIbi-7hPSoP4mzzpISNvHWk-5hSQTlOK2MWm6NUR~i1spFUV-vLslsEcG6AfycRNLgFtr8keCPduYHFJ-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners voted to increase the daily fee for work-release participants from $16 to $22.50 to fund GPS-enabled ankle monitoring, Chief Deputy Kent Baumann told the board during the June meeting.

The change matters because it shifts the monitoring method from periodic visual checks by staff to continuous GPS tracking; the county said the increase covers equipment and monitoring costs and provides more information about participants’ locations while on work release.

Chief Deputy Kent Baumann presented the request while Sheriff Tolleson was at an out-of-area conference and said the county’s current checks “is one of our staff leaving and kinda tracking them themselves and making sure they go where they need to go, kinda very, you know, seventies and eighties kind of a thing where you're just doing a visual check on them.” He described the new system as a “GPS enabled, ankle bracelet that's rechargeable … it also tracks to wherever they're at all the whole time that they're outside of our facility. It gives us some more security and some safety.”

Commissioners asked technical and operational questions. Baumann said the devices alert staff if someone tries to remove them, and acknowledged the system is not foolproof: “It's not foolproof that if you have the time and the desire that you couldn't cut it off, but you're alerted if that does happen.” He also said the ankle units will be rechargeable and that the monitoring addresses situations when work release jobs are located outside the immediate city where visual checks are impractical.

The board moved and seconded the staff recommendation and approved the request by voice vote. No roll-call vote or abstentions were recorded on the transcript. The motion approved the fee increase and allows the county to implement the GPS-enabled monitoring described by staff.","The county board approved raising the daily work-release fee from $16 to $22.50 to cover GPS-enabled ankle-monitoring devices that track movement and alert staff if removed.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6216320,"Kandiyohi County sheriff’s office introduces new patrol canine Loki",970,265000,1235000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502&start=265&end=1235","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3652650-0b4f2274e3a2c25fd21a3187a8096502/thumbnail_265000.jpg","/articles/6216320/Kandiyohi-County/Minnesota/Kandiyohi-County-sheriffs-office-introduces-new-patrol-canine-Loki","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6216320-099e9ea8da36c51eea2ae72803f82a10/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089914&Signature=bkRxwp9m14WuPQVuziaE8JVwqQAPraiPBHrx6gexzYcZblbTJyINHMLXkq8K9Z7kUbcg1pUjVYWBcnaO4K8deZ5ovu7NmHrQSo4uBFyUHKmwkR~-4hCMPccCgMTpe6c2KsDWJTpoqp91b2IB7p1eBQNirABHE7t4B0nKLDawrfZ8j0WK2gWqfMLjdlHgsfTPiRY4Afm8nBTMSwtMI6ZBRqqOSxi-WINJoO2Pn2xwUNohzNBjXjUstkJJuaduSv1pyqCsZI2LmxN3rJep1hSInR1gOnCHuIUlI1H55zHeFRM18GgrwTcudzilUzOLkw2bKTrpV3EMk6Ksr-j3FYl2cQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office introduced a new patrol canine, Loki, and his handler, Patrol Deputy Nick Moberg, to the County Board at its June meeting. The presentation summarized Loki’s training, duties and anticipated maintenance and retirement timeline.

The presentation matters because the county and community will rely on the canine for drug detection, tracking missing people and, if justified under department policy, suspect apprehension. Sheriff’s deputies described training, expected costs and how the canine will be deployed with other county and regional units.

Chief Deputy Kent Baumann introduced Loki and Moberg, saying Moberg would “talk with you about Loki and take questions.” Moberg told the board Loki and his handler completed 12 weeks of basic canine class in March and described the dog’s patrol skills: “He is trained in drug detection. He's trained in tracking for either missing people or if a suspect were to leave from a house or a vehicle ... as well as sit suspect apprehension.”

Moberg said Loki is a German Shepherd mixed with Belgian Malinois, which contributes to high energy and drive. He described ongoing training expectations: after the basic course, handlers will do “around 16 hours a month of continuing training to make sure that he stays consistent and continues to excel.” Deputies said training is coordinated with other county canine teams so dogs can support each other on detection calls.

Commissioners asked about selection, deployment, cost and retirement. Moberg said multiple deputies applied for the handler role and administration reviewed applicants’ service records and work history. On cost, Moberg provided purchase and training figures: “$13,000 for the dog ... the training, I believe, was $7,000,” and he estimated total program costs (including equipment and travel) could be “around $35,000.”

Moberg also described retirement variability: “It all depends. Roughly 8 years of service would be a rough estimate,” but he noted some dogs retire earlier because of health conditions or wear from dual-purpose apprehension work. The board and deputies discussed protective gear; deputies said some department dogs have been fitted with ballistic or stab vests for tactical calls. Moberg said the department plans additional demonstrations and community outreach; Loki’s name was chosen from submissions in a local elementary school program.

The county did not take a formal vote on policy changes at the presentation. Board members thanked the handler and deputies and signaled support for continued community demonstrations and canine fundraising lines that help offset purchase and training costs.","The Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office introduced a new patrol dog, Loki, trained in drug detection, tracking and suspect apprehension; deputies and commissioners discussed training, costs and retirement expectations.","actionData","errors"]
