! C. •• di G� 1 Spring and summer in Otsego is a time for outdoor fun activities and public
construction projects. This year the city has several road construction projects.
The first project is to complete 70th Street from Maciver Avenue to County Road
NoTE5 19. This project was started last summer and only needs the final layer of tar
applied and should be done this spring after the frost is out. This is a joint project
from the between the city of Albertville and the city of Otsego as this is a border road. The
MAYOR next project is to construct 75`h Street from Odean Avenue to Ohland Avenue.
This is a new portion of road which will greatly improve traffic flow in the area
and address some public safety issues. Municipal State Aid money will help pay
for this project. The last city project is Quantrelle Avenue south of 101 Market. 1
IIIIMIIIIN
This will be reconstructed with sewer and water and will extend to the summer
by Mayor Larry Fournier park. The Minnesota Department of Transportation will finally complete
R�. - p the 101 project when the County Road 39 interchange is done late this summer.
Otsego Clean Up
May is Otsego's clean up month. As in the past, for the entire month of May, you will be able to take one load of your
trash to the landfill on Highway 169 in Elk River. The city of Otsego will provide you with a voucher which covers the
cost of dumping at the landfill. Watch for more information in upcoming issues of the Star News or on the Otsego city
website: <www.ci.Otsego.mn.us>.

�— i Water and sewer utility rates reformulated
By Gary Groen
Residents with municipal sewer and water will notice a change on their March bill. The
• current user rates for the water system were not increased, but the city did split the billing
ommo
MEM into a base charge and a volume charge. The water rate will continue at the rate of$1.50
T per thousand gallons of actual water used(volume charge) and the base charge will be$3
per month per residential equivalent(fixed charge). The prior water utility rate was$6 for
the first two thousand gallons used. The effect of the change is NO INCREASE in the
water rates.
6The city split the sewer billing into a base charge and a volume charge also. The sewer
rate will be$5.00 per thousand gallons of actual water used(volume charge) and the base
charge will be$3 per month per residential equivalent(fixed charge). The prior sewer
6 utility rate was $9 for the first two thousand gallons used. The sewer utility bill for two II
thousand gallons will now be$13 rather than$9, an INCREASE of$4 per month.
The city reviews the operating costs of the water and sewer utility and reviews the user
6 rates on an annual basis as part of the ongoing financial management of the city.The purpose
of this review is to ensure the user rates are sufficient to finance the cost of operating the
systems and the cost of the long-term repair and maintenance of the systems. The sewer
6 increase was needed to balance operating and maintenance costs. No general tax money is
used for the municipal water and sewer system. It is self-sustaining,
There will soon be required repair and maintenance costs for the first lift stations of the
6 system that were installed in 1999. It was determined that the user rates not only need to
cover the annual cost of operations but must also provide monies for scheduled future
maintenance of the system.
The sewer rate for each residence is established based on the average usage for
December through February each year. Users that do not have a usage history for these
• :'°.e"" s three months will pay a $32 charge per month until the usage history is established(this is
an average user's sewer billing).
The volume charge for nonresidential users will be billed monthly based on actual usage.
The base charge will be computed based on the number of residential equivalent charges
times the$3 base charge. The volume rates and the base charge rates for water and sewer
are the same as the residential rates.

Cleaning up Otsego since 1990 1
•
ori a:
By Jacquie Rognli
la
In the spring of 1990, Otsego Township supervisors Norman Freske, '
Doug Lindenfelser and Floyd Roden decided as a town board to hold I`19
Otsego's first clean-up day. "
Freske, who would became Otsego's first mayor later that year,recalls that they had heard about other communities holding a
clean up day and thought they'd give it a try.The maintenance department continually needed to pick up tires and home appliances
that people would dump in the township's ditches so they were paying for clean up anyway.
"We wanted to help the citizens of Otsego,"said Freske. "Something had to be done. We'd see people dump dishwashers,
washing machines and mainly tires."
Freske recalls following a car that had stopped on the side of the road.By the time he got to that spot,there were tires in the ditch
that weren't there before. He was unable to catch the guy,but that convinced him they had to do something,
Otsego Township held its first Clean-up Day on a rainy Saturday,May 5, 1990 at the Town Hall. All of the Township Board,
staff and most of their spouses volunteered for the morning to direct people and unload junk in the mud. One roll off and one
appliance truck had been ordered to handle the drop offs.No fees were charged.
"We had no idea how big it got,"said Freske.
They were overwhelmed with the response. Vehicles were waiting an hour before hand and lined up almost a mile on
County Road 39 east of Town Hall all the way to the cemetery. The junk wouldn't fit in the single roll off and there were
more appliances than a truck could handle. It took more than a week to get all of the stuff hauled away from behind the
Town Hall. There were 398 recyclers that day.
The city of Otsego continued the Clean-up Day tradition,but was more prepared for the response in following years.More
volunteers were recruited and more roll-offs and trucks were ordered.The day continued tobe popular with residents.
In 1994,the city was able to get a rebate from Wright County for recycling and the continued use of volunteers helped keep the
cost down. It was a huge undertaking every May.
In 2004,the city tried something new.In partnership with the Elk River Landfill,the city issued vouchers to be used for a load at the
landfill during the entire month of May.It was a huge success.Residents had the whole month to deposit their junk,and a business
prepared to deal with all of the waste
handled it.2008 will be the fifth year Otsego Clean-up days were held at the old Town Hall with volunteer help until 2004.

have enjoyed visits here from their five grandchildren.
Larry and Phyllis met while he was home on leave from the Navy. They had p
both attended St. Michael Catholic High School, although they didn't get
together until later. Larry recalled that they attended dances that were held
every Saturday night in St. Michael and Rogers. After they married, they lived
in Pearl Harbor,HI while he was stationed there. "Phyllis wanted to come back '
to Minnesota, so we ended up right back where we started." ''
The couple rented the family farmhouse from his father, Lawrence Fournier,
while their new home was being built in 1968. It was the farmhouse where he,
his four brothers and two sisters grew up on Mason Avenue. As children, they ,
iwould do chores, feeding the beef cows before walking down the quarter-mile
driveway to wait for the school bus.

the home they built there. Their Otsego house will be taken away by house movers.
Larry Fournier has been Otsego's mayor since 1997. He is only the second person to serve in that office since Otsego
became a city in 1990. Norman F. Freske was the city's first mayor from 1990 to 1996. Fournier's third mayoral term
would have concluded at the end of 2008. He had planned to run for a fourth term before his plans to move.
Before becoming Otsego's mayor, Larry Fournier served on the Otsego City Council for six years and on the Otsego
Township and Otsego City Planning commissions for 12 years before that. Thank you for 30 years of service to Otsego

Traffic light sometimes finicky
The traffic light at the intersection of Highway 101 and County Rd. 39
has had some occasional problems.Minnesota Department of
Transportation(MNDOT)Project Supervisor Bob Rabine explained that the
system is temporary during the construction and relies on cameras mounted
on the light poles to sense the traffic.There have been times that the wind
has blown the cameras out of position so they can't detect the cars. One
morning the main controller failed because of rain water and other issues
and the flashing red signal caused a major rush hour backup of traffic.
__- - If motorists believe the signal is not working properly,they should call the
main MNDOT office at 651-366-5145 to report the problem.
Rabine says there will be a great improvement at the intersection when
some of the southbound ramps open in early July. The project should be
fully completed this fall.
