The council had a split vote between Olson and Mark Barthel. New mayor Jillian Hendrickson, who was just sworn in, then appointed Olson.
In an Albertville City Council meeting full of change Monday, new mayor Jillian Hendrickson was sworn in to office Monday shortly before she appointed Rob Olson to city council after a split vote left the seat undecided. With Hendrickson leaving her council seat for mayor, there was an open seat on the council to be filled by appointment. Olson served as the chairman of the city's planning and zoning commission and received two votes from the council. The other two votes were for Mark Barthel. "The council will vote based on the letters of interest and if there is a tie vote, the mayor will appoint," city attorney Mike Couri explained. The city received two letters of interest for the remaining council seat from Olson and Barthel. Both men…

So with it being a split vote that backs my point even more, very simple to look who had the most votes. So your saying because he has a common last name he should not be considered. Maybe it was because he is local and a larger population knows who he is and felt he should get the position. There is a reason we have a right to vote, and if one person is not going to take that in consideration … more ›

You are so right, I agree completely about getting the agenda out before the meetings and to keep the city informed of what is taking place at these meetings. My wife made a point to remind me of how busy life can get with our four children. I will make a point to address this should I be elected. more ›

In its 2012 cycle of technology purchases, the City of St. Michael has decided to step into the 21st Century in the way it presents materials to city council members.
With $2,500 of its $8,800 budget for technology improvements, City of St. Michael staff will purchase five iPads, designating one for each council member. “It’s really an effort to save wear and tear on our office equipment,” said Steve Bot, assistant city administrator. “And, it reduces the amount of paper we use each month. Things like the biweekly council packets and the minutes don’t have to be printed off. You can just pull them up.” Other communities have purchased workstations or laptops for their councils or school boards. Hopkins, for example, has purchased laptops for their city council members that stay in city hall and are used at each meeting. Independent School District 622, which serves Oakdale, also uses laptops. “This isn’…

Two sides can’t agree on future of dirt bike track in southern St. Michael
After a handful of summers listening to dirt bikes whip around a track a few dozen feet from her backyard, Tina Tanchin has decided she has had enough. So has neighbor Roger Hanson. The two residents of the Frankfort Hills development, located in the extreme southern portion of St. Michael near County Road 34 (Beebe Lake Road) approached the St. Michael City Council Tuesday with a formal complaint against property owner Judd Billings’ motorcross track, which has sat on his property for more than a decade. The dispute isn’t new. Billings and Hanson have both been into city hall regarding the issue. Hanson and Tanchin argue that the noise pollution and the amount of dust raised by the motorbikes is enough to violate city ordinances in place…
