currently considering renovating the current WWTF for $40,000,000; $16,000,000 has already

senior independent living units and 24 memory units at 115 Rogers Street in Mankato. The City of

pledged to the payment thereof, will not constitute a general or moral obligation of the City and
will not be secured by the taxing power of the City or any assets of or property of the City except

currently, property owners adjacent to a street repair are charged assessments but he believes all
residents use the streets and everyone should contribute towards these costs by their tax payments.

parcels and approve the remaining parcels listed on the Assessment Roll. Council Member Voss

ISD #761 School Board President Mark Sebring gave a brief update on the upcoming Special
Election for a Bond Referendum to construct a new high school on Tuesday, November 5, 2019.
This last week, an agreement was made between Federated Insurance and the Rypka Family for
property in the southeast part of town to construct a new high school. Federated Insurance will
donate this property to the school if the election approves this new facility. The proposed site is
80+ acres in comparison to the current high school located on 19 acres; the additional space will
allow on-site parking for all students, staff, and visitors. Council Member Raney commented he
hopes to see a large amount of green space where the existing high school building is, the existing
and proposed high school sites are both located in his ward, Ward 4. Council Member Raney
asked about drainage and stormwater issues at the proposed site; Community Development
Director Klecker confirmed these issues were all taken into consideration when considering
building sites. The water table is high at this location, but the high school won’t have a basement
and there will be a lot of green space with drainage available. Any construction at this site must
meet the City’s current storm water plan so these shouldn’t cause any issues.
