Council accepts $3,000 donation to restore steam to downtown coffee-pot landmark
Summary
The Lindstrom City Council accepted a $3,000 donation from Doug Johnson to restore steam to the city's iconic coffee pot; council also approved a resolution formally accepting the gift and signaled a June 2025 dedication window.
Mayor introduced Doug Johnson as a donor to a community fundraising effort to restore steam at the downtown coffee-pot landmark and asked the council to accept his $3,000 pledge. "He has committed to donating $3,000 to put bring the steam back to the coffee pot," the mayor said, and council moved to accept the donation by resolution.
Council passed resolution 20241120-01 to accept Johnson's donation and thanked community partners and AeroTech for in-kind support; staff said the restoration will run seasonally and the city anticipates a dedication in June 2025, pending weather- and construction-related scheduling. The mayor added the restoration is not expected to run year-round because the system is temperature-driven.
