The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will offer for sale more than 20 parcels of state lands at two public auctions to be held July 23-24. A third auction date has been scheduled on July 30 to offer any remaining parcels that did not sell at the initial two auctions.
The majority of the parcels are school trust lands, some of which are lakeshore lots. Also included in the auction is the former St. Croix Boy’s Camp with 3,000 feet of river frontage along the Tamarack River in Pine County.

Kent Louwagie of Bolton & Menk, the city’s engineering firm, told the Eden Valley City Council at its June 5 meeting that there is no bid date yet for planned road and water/sewer work on Highway 22. He explained that everything is ready to go, pending MnDOT approval of the project; they’ve had the paperwork since the first week of March but have not yet given the go-ahead. Once they receive MnDOT approval, the request for bids must be published three consecutive weeks, then they can open bids. It could take a week or so, Louwagie says, to execute a contract. He fully expects the project to begin yet this summer, and sees no obstacles
once approval is received from MnDOT.
Patty Carlson of First Fuel Banks came with Jonathan Morales, the YES! program coordinator, to answer questions about a proposed oil recycling depository for the city. As part of the high school’s Carbon Cutting group, it is proposed to have an oil deposit container at the city maintenance building. The students would monitor the site, and First Fuel Banks would be responsible for emptying it and performing any clean-up needed. Carlson explained that there is no cost to the city for this, and that the proposed above-ground system is more cost-effective now than the below ground system in Kimball, for instance.
