Le Sueur roundup: Council set to act on chickens, stormwater plan; EDA disbursements on agenda
Le Sueur's City Council, Economic Development Authority, and Fire Service Commission all met the week of June 22, but official minutes have not yet been published for any of the three sessions. The agendas outline what each body was scheduled to take up; outcomes and vote tallies are not yet part of the public record and will be confirmed when minutes are released.
City Council — June 22
The council agenda listed the second and final reading of Ordinance 620, which would allow keeping chickens within city limits. A second reading typically signals a final vote, but because minutes are not yet available, the result of that vote is not confirmed here.
Other scheduled items included:
- Adoption of the citywide Stormwater Management Plan.
- Resolution R2026-037 on a labor agreement with IUOE Local 49 PWFA.
- Resolution R2026-039 for an emergency polling place location change.
- Resolutions R2026-032 and R2026-033 on fund transfers, including Public Safety Aid.
- Consent agenda items such as routine approval of minutes, disbursements, and a Main Street closure for a benefit event.
Economic Development Authority — June 22
The EDA agenda centered on a disbursement list totaling $71,138.58, including TIF payments and legal fees, plus acceptance of the monthly financial report through May 31, 2026. No new business items were listed.
Staff updates were scheduled on the Park Elementary surplus auction and housing development, including a multi-family housing development along Kingsway Drive.
Fire Service Commission — June 24
The fire chief's report was set to cover equipment and operations items:
- A FEMA grant submitted for new handheld radios.
- $3,225 for new thermal imaging cameras.
- Arrival of a new grass rig.
- Hose cart refurbishment, paid by the Le Sueur Fire Endowment and Knight of Columbus.
The agenda also noted year-to-date fire calls at 48, and that Derrynane Township gained 6.5 sections from BP Fire. Three new firefighters were reported to have passed classes, and an open house was set for July 11.
Coming up
- **Recreation and Parks Advisory Committee — July 7:** Staff reports on park facility status and summer programming are on the agenda, along with discussion of community center services management and a liner separation issue at the city pool. Scheduled items include ADA improvements at American Legion Park with a total project cost of $432,660; Bruce Frank Field renovations including $118,595 for infield regrading and outfield mowing; postponement of city pool liner repair until after the current season; purchase of 17 replacement football helmets funded by Lions Club and United Fund; and placement recommendations for the restored Green Giant pea and corn statues.
