Several resolutions were passed during the New Richland City Council’s second meeting of the month on Monday, Sept. 26. All members were present, along with some local residents to discuss flood damages to their properties.
The first resolution, 16-10, certified the preliminary tax levy. The total amount, after suggestion from City Clerk Wayne Billing, was increased by $100,000 in case of unforeseen expenses to the city due to the flooding that occurred Sept. 22, making the preliminary levy $494,072. The budget will not be finally approved until the Dec. 12 meeting of the council, and can be reduced before that time. The total cannot be increased from the approved preliminary amount. Citizens who wish to discuss 2017 budget will be able to do so at the Dec. 12 meeting, 6:35 p.m. at New Richland City Hall. The resolution was approved.

New Richland area deals with flooding
The scene on Hwy. 30 in front of NRHEG High School Thursday afternoon. The town and entire Southern Minnesota region have been busy sandbagging and cleaning up from Wednesday night's rainfall event, which had reported totals of between 4 and 13-plus inches. Roads in town were reopened Friday. The heavy rains came almost six years to the day that New Richland experienced a "100-year" rainfall. (Star Eagle photo by Jim Lutgens)
