At its Nov. 12 meeting, the Sartell City Council set an all-time record for a short council meeting – at 7 minutes and 36 seconds.

Mayor Ryan Fitzthum commented toward the end of the short meeting that “I think we’re going to set a record.” Many years ago, the council set a record with a meeting that lasted about 10 minutes.

There just wasn’t anything of pressing urgency on the agenda for Nov. 12, other than the council approving the Consent Agenda and some rapid-fire updates of some items, such as a cable along Pinecone Road.

Save Station

The approved consent agenda included an item that approves a SaveStation (automated external defibrillator station) to be installed at Sartell’s Public Safety Facility, now under construction along Pinecone Road. The city’s portion of the cost for the SaveStation is $5,000. Thanks to grants from CentraCare, there will also be SaveStations installed at the Sartell Community Center and city hall. One currently exists at Lions Community Park, with its installation funded by the Sartell Lions.

Canceled meeting

The council agreed to cancel its Nov. 25 meeting so that the full council can meet at the Public Safety Facilities building for a tour and updates on its progress. It is scheduled to open this spring. It will house the city’s fire and police departments.

More applications

The council did approve unanimously a resolution approving more applications for some commission appointments for the Economic Development Commission and the Sartell Planning Commission.

TCHS proclamation

It also approved, as part of its consent agenda, a city proclamation honoring the Tri-County Humane Society. In the proclamation, also proclaimed in other area cities, the TCHS is cited for finding homes for more than 3,000 animals per year and for its educational programs to promote the well-being of lost, abandoned, surrendered or abused animals. On Dec. 11, the TCHS will celebrate its 45th birthday.

In the proclamation, part of it reads:

Whereas, the Tri-County Humane Society is an integral part of this community, providing services within schools, community groups, public libraries, and senior centers;

Now, therefore I, Ryan Fitzthum, Mayor of Sartell, declare Dec. 11, 2019 Tri-County Humane Society Day in Sartell. I encourage community members to celebrate and support TCHS for their contributions.”
