- Meeting Overview:
At the Goodhue City Council meeting on December 17, 2024, a point of discussion involved a resident’s dispute over new city yard regulations. The resident, Craig Lurin, addressed the council regarding a letter he received about compliance with recently adopted codes. Lurin expressed frustration, explaining his ongoing home improvement efforts over 34 years and recalling a past court resolution that he believed should have prevented further issues with the city. He asserted his intention to continue his activities and suggested seeking legal counsel if the matter could not be resolved amicably with the council.
The council meeting also included the approval of several items on the consent agenda, such as the snowplow bid selection, the 2025 fee schedule, a cost-of-living adjustment, changes to the city administrator’s status, and updates to the personnel policy. These approvals were passed without opposition.
Another noteworthy topic was the appointment of Lisa, the new city administrator, to the Joint Powers Executive Board for the North Zumbro Sanitary Sewer District. Jason will continue to serve as the Public Works Director and vote on issues when Lisa is unavailable. The council voted in favor of the resolution, emphasizing the importance of Lisa’s engagement with the district’s activities.
