Minutes
Present: Otsego Representative
Otsego Councilmember Virginia Wenzel, Albertville Councilmember Ron Klecker,
Albertville Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Sharon Leintz, Albertville Public Works
Supervisor Tim Guimount, and City Clerk Bridget Miller.
The agreement between Otsego and Albertville is a 20 — 80 shared maintenance.
Albertville is responsible up to Mason Avenue.
The Creek is not actually within the Albertville City limits. The City of Albertville deposits
water into the Creek, which is why the City shares in the maintenance of the creek.
There was discussion about monitoring the condition of the Creek. The last time someone
physically went out to see what condition the creek was in was in 1999 or 2000. Patti Stalberger
and Virginia Wenzel went out and walked the creek for a distance.
Albertville Councilmember Klecker asked what needed to be done.
No action was necessary at this time with the exception of walking up or down the Creek to see
the condition it was in.
Other recommendation was to document the meeting in a form of notes or minutes.
As the land is becomes developed in Otsego around the Creek the Developer's would be
responsible for cleaning it up. They would need to obtain permission from the DNR to do so.
Last item discussed is contacting the commission members in a year to set up another date for
review of the progress or condition of the Otsego Creek.
