Special Meeting May 10, 2021 6 PM at the Braham City Hall.
Supervisors John Shockman, Jim Lee, Don Fix, Clerk Val Anderson and a number of Stanchfield Township residents met with the Braham City Council to discuss what they are doing regarding annexation of Stanchfield Township land. The current annexation is on 4.77 acres of Kevin and Roxanne Hanson with the 60/40 rule (60 % of the parcel is surrounded by city and less than 40 acres) This parcel has no city services, is on a State Highway, the Hanson’s have a working sewer system, just put in a new well and they do not want to be annexed into the city. There are up to 11 more parcels that the City is looking at annexing. Chairman John Shockman addressed the Council that we are in support of our residents and had asked for this meeting to show that support. The 5 parcels that were annexed in August 2020 had their taxes to the City go up on average of 470% from what they paid the township and since the city is not providing any services to these parcels, this is just a land/money grab which does not benefit our residents. Three of the future parcels the city wants are along Ural Street which is a Township Road. This road would be taken over by the City if these parcels were annexed.
The council responded that they would get mosquito control, city compost site and reduced garbage costs (currently some Township residents pay less then the city charges for garbage) and eventually, with a huge cost to the property owner, they could receive city sewer and water. Some of the residents along 413th Ave currently receive City Sewer and Water at an increased monthly cost and if annexed those costs would be reduced.
No decisions were made during the open meeting.

Minutes of the last meeting and the meeting with the City of Braham were approved as printed with Motion by Shockman, seconded and carried. Treasurer’s reports received
OLD BUSINESS: We will keep our options open regarding an orderly annexation agreement with the City of Braham after looking into the costs. Currently it is cost prohibitive to request a hearing from the MN Office of Administrative Hearings for the parcels the city is currently and planning on annexing in the two locations along 107 and 413th Ave NE.
We were not selected for the LRIP Grant.
William Becklin was present to discuss the High Bridge. There has been no response from the letter sent to the Railroad last month. Another letter will be sent asking to help us get the project started this year as our residents are suffering by not having the bridge open. Bringing the road to at grade crossing will be addressed more in this letter in hopes we can a crossing open again.
There will be funds for us from the American Rescue Plan, but MAT is asking us to wait until they can do more research on what is the correct way to apply for and spend the funds.NEW BUSINESS: The group home on Polk Street is parking many vehicles on the road. Val will send a letter reminding them they can not park on the road, and order the same signs we used on Naples Street for no parking on Township Roads.

OLD BUSINESS: William Becklin reported that the BNSF railroad has declined fixing the current bridge as they felt spending money on a bridge that is past its functional life is not in the best use of their funds. They did express their willingness to go forward to get the ball rolling on a replacement structure. BNSF gave us it’s grade separation guidelines to follow on the design of the bridge. A surveyor has been hired by Becklin & Whitney to proceed with the first step in the bridge replacement.
