4 Paint the Town
• Downtown’s Looking Good!
4 A Vision For You!
Have you ever thought, “I wish somebody
would ask me what I think about the town-I’d tell ‘em!” Now, here’s your chance to
make a difference in the future of the city!
The City of Faribault is in the beginning of an important visioning process and we need your help to
identify what the community would like to see preserved, enhanced, or what you would like to see created over the next 25 years.
Over the next six months we will provide multiple
opportunities for you to share your thoughts about the
community. Beginning in September, meetings will be
held with neighborhoods and organizations throughout
the community to listen to your ideas. In late October
and early November, community forums will be held
to gather additional input from the public.
When the visioning process is completed by February
2015, it will be reflected in the City’s Comprehensive
Plan, which outlines how the community will attain the
new vision of the future.
We are looking forward to working with the community
on this important planning process. For more information, please see, www.faribault.org/departments/administration/communityvisionfaribault2040
for
meeting schedule updates.

You may have seen a number of scaffolds and lots of
painting activity in the City this fall. The Building Division has begun a proactive, property maintenance code
compliance effort to address building maintenance conditions. Property owners in the downtown area and others
throughout the City have been asked to repair peeling
paint, fix broken windows, and address other maintenance
items on their building.
Since the letters have been sent, property owners have
responded very positively and have made major improvements to their properties. The City is amazed by
the tremendous response and would like to thank all
those property owners who have maintained their property--their efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. The City will
continue its efforts next year on the larger projects that
are still present and looks forward to working with property owners on these projects. In addition, the City will
be implementing its Crime-free Multi-housing Program
next year that will help address blight properties. Again,
thank you to all the property owners for their efforts in
keeping Faribault looking great!
The City of Faribault in partnership with Rice County has been
awarded Clean Water Legacy grant funds to use for a joint project
known as the Twin Lakes Stormwater Retrofit Project. This project aims to reduce the volume and pollutant load discharged into
the Cannon River by constructing a stormwater treatment train
using best management practices in the 30th Street NW re-alignment project in the city.
Best management practices will be employed to provide runoff storage, treatment, and infiltration opportunities using
a variety of innovative methods to manage stormwater runoff on a smaller subwatershed scale. Outcomes of this
project include load reductions to the
Cannon River with goals of a 60% reduction in phosphorus and an 80% reduction in total suspended solids
discharging from the sub-watershed.
By receiving these highly competitive
Clean Water grant funds, Rice Co. and
the City of Faribault are better able to apply innovative methods
in the local road re-construction project. Improved management
of stormwater runoff on a small watershed scale will help us all
achieve common clean water goals.
For more details on the Twin Lakes Project, please contact
Melissa at (507) 333-0369 or mbaker@ci.faribault.mn.us; for
Clean Water Grant project details, please contact Jennifer at jmocol@co.rice.mn.us or (507) 333-3871; Julie Runkel, Rice Co. Environmental Services Director at (507) 332-6113, or

4 Historic Clock Project
• A Mission to Save Time
The late Al Burkhartzmeyer was always an advocate for
downtown Faribault. He was very involved in business development, encouraging businesses to come to downtown Faribault, and helping downtown with decades of projects and
promotions.
Burkhartzmeyer was a dedicated Rotarian, with 55 years of
perfect attendance at Rotary meetings. He served in many capacities in his years, always honoring
the message of integrity and service
espoused by Rotary.
One of Al’s last requests connects
his two community passions: Downtown Faribault and the Faribault Rotary. Al asked Rotary leadership to
take on the restoration of the Security
Bank Clock. When the end was near,
Al Burkhartzmeyer
he asked his family to set aside some
of his memorials to start the restoration fund. The City’s Community Development Department has worked with the property
owner of the Security Bank building to secure a preservation
easement over the clock. If approved by City Council, the
easement will establish the City as owner of the clock, authorizing it to repair, maintain, relocate or remove the clock as desired. City staff is currently working to obtain cost estimates
for restoration of the clock, and will be presenting that information to the Council shortly.
DEC., JAN. & FEB. 2015
* CITY OF FARIBAULT *
Funds are still needed to help cover the entire cost of
restoration. Donations are welcome, please make your
check payable to:
Faribault Rotary Club / Clock Project,
PO Box 423, Faribault MN, 55021
Donations may also be sent to the Faribault Chamber office, Reliance Bank,
or the Tony Langerud State Farm Insurance office.

• Rental Housing Licensing
Development activity has been steady and slowly increasing
in the city as the nation recovers from the recession. The Community Development Department has received building permit
applications for a number of interesting and important projects.
For example, Scotts Miracle-Gro has requested City approvals
to develop a soil and mulch manufacturing plant at the site of
the former Renneberg Hardwoods facility at the north end of
the Industrial Park adjacent to the Faribault Energy Park. The
plant will employ roughly 15 full-time associates and 10 seasonal associates.

Shattuck-St.Mary’s Inn & Banquet Center
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Shattuck- St. Mary’s is restoring and expanding their former
infirmary building to create an Inn & Banquet Center on the
campus. This unique project restores a 147-year old historic
building on campus and repurpose it for today’s needs. It will
be a great addition to the city and their campus. Planning &
Zoning has also approved plans for a new Golf Driving Center
which will shelter golfers using the driving range at the Legacy
Golf Course during inclement weather allowing longer training
or practice seasons for area golfers and students.
Goodwill is building a new retail store on Grant Street west
of HyVee. This new thrift store will fill a vacant lot along
Grant and help build the property tax base in the area.
South Central College has wrapped up its new addition this
summer. The facility is great addition to the campus and provides an architectural upgrade that promotes its higher education role in the community. We congratulate our colleagues and
community partners at South Central College on the project.
Faribault Foods has completed a 100,000 square foot expansion of their distribution center in the Northern Industrial Park.
We congratulate them on this fine addition and wish them well
for continued success in the city in the coming years.
Several commercial or institutional additions or large remodeling projects are underway or recently completed this year.
Those include the Kingdom Hall Addition and remodel; Sage
Electrochromics Office remodel; and Mayo Clinic offices at
Crossroads Office Center.
So far this year we have issued permits for 8 new single family in homes in Faribault and 28 multi-family units. Overall
we have issued 732 building permits this year with a valuation
of about $15,200,000.

• Snow Season Tips
The snow season will soon be
here. The City’s goal is to have
all streets plowed and sanded
within 18-hours after snowfall
stops, or 24-36 hours after
snowfall stops for larger or
“non-average storms.”
• Sign up for emergency alerts
at www.faribault.org. Under City Departments, click on Police Department; then click on Emergency Messages Everbridge to enroll.
• No parking allowed between 1am-8am on any City of
Faribault street after a snow emergency has been declared.
Note it may take two full days after a snow emergency for
full removal of snow from your street. Vehicles in violation
may be ticketed or towed.
• Blue lights at the ends of Central Avenue will be turned
on for those in the downtown area when a snow emergency
has been declared.

• Per City Code, Section 25.41, snow and ice is to be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours after a snowfall.
Please help keep sidewalks safe for pedestrians.
• Trash receptacles and recycling bins must be kept out of
the street. Avoid having to replace your trash container by
keeping it out of the street and placing it on the boulevard
or in your driveway.
• Mailboxes need to be sturdy enough to withstand snow
rolling off of plows. The face of your mailbox should be 2”
behind the back of the curb. Homeowners shall keep piled
snow away from mailboxes.
• Residents are encouraged to “adopt a fire hydrant” near
their home and keep snow shoveled away from it.
• City plows are designed to discharge snow to the sides of
the road and do not “skip over” driveways. Shoveling snow
from the bottom of the driveway to the right as you face the
street will help lessen the amount of snow that will be deposited in the end of a driveway during the next plowing.
• Make sure children play well clear from the street. Do
not allow children to build snow forts, tunnel in the snow
banks next to the street, or to play near the curbs. It can be
difficult for plow operators to see children playing in these
locations.

• RAIDS Online
• Anonymous Crime Reporting
A public crime map, RAIDS Online, connects law enforcement with
the community to reduce crime and improve public safety. Crime mapping helps the public get a better idea of the crime activity in their area
so they can make more informed decisions about how to stay safe.
RAIDS Online goes beyond crime mapping by automatically alerting
the public about recent crime activity and by improving communication
between the public and law enforcement through anonymous tips.
RAIDS Online empowers the public to make better decisions about
crime by putting the same technology used by law enforcement to analyze and interpret crime activity into the hands of the public.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------This easy-to-use tool is available to the public from a link on the police
department page of the city website, www.faribault.org, or go to it directly at www.raidsonline.com.
DEC., JAN. & FEB. 2015
Law enforcement agencies across Rice County are now accepting
100% anonymous crime tips via cell phone text messages or internet. Often students and parents have information about illegal activity, but don’t know how to report it or aren’t sure if they even
should. If you see or hear something, then say something! Do your
part to keep our community safe!
-------------------------------------------------------------------For text message tips, follow these simple directions:
1. Start a new text. Type 847411 in the phone number spot.
2. Type RICECO in the message portion of the text.
3. Type the crime information you have. Be specific. Send!

Swimming
We take an innovative approach in
assisting individuals of all ages to learn swimming and water safety skills. The Community
Center Pool is an indoor pool that is heated to a pleasant 86 degrees.
Enrolling in
the Proper Level
Programs offered through
Park & Rec include the
Water Exploration series (Infant/Toddler and
Parent/Preschool classes),
and following these in sequence are Level 1-5 swimming lessons.
Fee: $33 per class
Infant/Toddler
(For Ages 1 & 2) Parent/Guardians are in the water
with the child. Parent and child will focus on adjustment to the water. Min 3/Max. 12
Parent/Preschool
Please follow the recommendation of your child's instructor.
The certificate you receive at the end of the session indicates the
level you should enroll in next. It is not uncommon for a student
to repeat a level several times before moving on. Each level is
structured to build on the skills learned in the previous level. A
student who does not possess the minimum skills for the level enrolled in will hinder the progress of the other students in the class
as well as their own. In many cases it is difficult to determine early
on whether a student will pass or need to repeat a level. For these
reasons, it is important that you wait to register until you are certain what level the student is in.
American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Programs provide instruction to help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop
swimming and water safety skills. It is designed to give students a positive learning experience.
Learn-to-Swim teaches aquatic and safety skills in a logical
progression. The objective is to teach people to swim and to
be safe in, on, and around the water.
Skills are categorized this way:
Water Entry & Exit, Breath Control and Underwater Swimming, Buoyancy, Changing Direction and Position, Treading,
Swimming on Front, Back and Side, General and Personal
Water Safety, and Helping Others.
Waiting Lists
We would like every opportunity to serve you. If a class you
want fills before you register,
you may place your name on a
waiting list. Additional classes
may be added to accommodate
the waiting lists.

the child. Parent and child will focus on floating,

Year-Round Water Workouts!
Water Power Class
Ongoing Classes
Why Water Workouts?
1.) Water provides buoyancy and support for your body. When exercising in
the water at waist level, you need only
support 50% of your body's weight -only 10% in water to your neck. Jarring and pounding of joints, bones and
muscles is greatly reduced in the water.
You are less likely to have soreness following a workout in the water.
2.) Water provides more resistance than
air because of its increased density. This increased resistance helps to promote better muscular endurance and tone. You will see quicker
results when exercising in the water, compared with the
same exercise routine on land.
3.) Water exercise improves flexibility without undue
pressure on joints. Because of the lessened effects of
gravity in the water, joints can move easier through a
wider range of motion. Improves long-term flexibility.
4.) Water exercise is cooler and more comfortable than
exercise on land. During a water workout, the water continually cools the body.
(Deep Water Exercise)
You do not need swimming skills for this class. Flotation belts are
provided. Deep-water exercise is the quickest way to achieve fullbody toning by using the resistance of the water. It is also a great
totally non-impact aerobic workout.
Shallow Water Workouts
Aquatic exercise is both safer and more
efficient than similar land-based exercise. Consider these points:
Classes include Water Shape Up,
Wet Fit and Gentle Waters.
These classes are great for general conditioning, and for
gentle rehabilitation without
straining or overheating. Always check with a doctor
before beginning a rehabilitation program.
Deep Water Workout Class
This is by far the best way to tone your muscles and lose inches.
Participants use flotation belts to stay vertical in the deep end of
the pool. No swimming skills required. Combine water resistance with aerobic and toning activities to get a whole body
workout that anyone can do.
W.E.T. Workout
(Shallow Water Exercise)

eight of the ten nominees will be eligible to vote.
• Votes will be collected through MYRA members each March.
