Sherburn council OKs demolition

SHERBURN — Sherburn City Council has approved a request for help with demolition of a dilapidated building.

The former E&L Café will be torn down. Owner Steven Anderson can then apply for $2,500 from a city fund. The council asked the city clerk to inform Anderson that there also could be $2,500 available from the local Economic Development Authority.

Turning to other business, the council approved allowing campers to park behind the former Assembly of God church for $20. Camper owners may contact City Hall for more information: (507) 764-4491.

In other news, Mayor Jeff Ross reported that a new map concerning a proposed truck wash in Sherburn has been drafted. The council would like the infrastructure on the project started before winter so the mayor will contact the engineers about an expected date. The annexation process related to the project has begun but has not been finalized.

The next council meeting will be 5 p.m. Aug. 19 at City Hall.

Walz: He will seek gun hearings

ST. PAUL (AP) — Gov. Tim Walz says he will seek hearings on gun measures this fall after the latest mass shootings in Ohio and Texas.

Democratic leaders and gun safety advocates in Minnesota have for years pursued universal background checks and “red flag” laws, which let police take guns from people thought to be a threat to themselves and others. But they have failed at the Legislature.

Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka said Monday that universal background checks haven’t been proven to stop mass shootings. He instead advocated focusing on mental health and tougher sentencing for felons who use guns.
