THE ROSEAU COUNTY BOARD WILL MEET TOMORROW.
THEY WILL HEAR FROM WARROAD MAYOR TOM GOLDSMITH ON CREATING QUIET ZONES FOR RAILROAD CROSSINGS IN THE WARROAD AREA. THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DISCUSSED IN 2021.
RECENTLY, JOE OLAFSON HAD BEEN RE-APPOINTED TO A THREE YEAR TERM ON THE WARROAD RIVER WATERSHED DISTRICT.
THEY’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A PARCEL OF LAND IN SKAGEN TOWNSHIP GOING UP FOR BID. A PARTY WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THAT LAND, BUT ACCEPTING SEALED BIDS IS THE ONLY WAY THE COUNTY CAN SELL THAT LAND.
AN AGREEMENT WAS RECENTLY REACHED TO SOLVE A WATER SUPPLY DISPUTE IN STRATHCONA. THAT WAS FOR CHRIS HAMNESS PROVIDING WATER FROM HIS WELL TO THE STRATHCONA SHOP.
THEY’LL LOOK INTO AN AGREEMENT THAT WOULD HIRE KITTSON COUNTY TO PROVIDE BLADING AND SNOW PLOWING SERVICES FOR BLOOMING VALLEY TOWNSHIP.
THE ROSEAU-LAKE OF THE WOODS SOYBEAN GROWERS ASSOCIATION HAS DONATED BUCKETS OF SOYFOAM TO FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN ROSEAU, BADGER, AND GREENBUSH. THAT WAS PART OF A STATEWIDE EFFORT THAT SAW 40 COUNTIES AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THOSE DONATIONS.
SOY FOAM IS THE FIRST AND ONLY GREENSCREEN CERTIFIED GOLDFIRE FOAM WITH ZERO INTENTIONALLY ADDED PFA’S, OR FOREVER CHEMICALS. FIREFIGHTERS HAVE A NEARLY 10% HIGHER CHANCE OF A CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG FIREFIGHTERS. IT IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING INDUCTORS AND AERATING NOZZLES AND IS COMPARABLE IN COST TO TRADITIONAL FOAM.

THOSE ITEMS WERE RECOVERED FROM THE RESIDENCE OF THE MAN FROM GRAND RAPIDS.
