That the North Branch Council is
eagerly promoting the city as a "business friendly" place for new
business is apparent when one sits in on a council meeting these days. Having
hired Tom Willett as EDA director, things are moving swiftly in
attempts to make the city more appealing to new business and industry.

A month ago, the Rush City Council
was making plans to close the municipal bar. The liquor committee had
been instructed to seek costs for walling off and diverting heat from
the on-sale portion of the city's liquor operations. The feeling of the
council was that the bar was costing the city in the neighborhood of
$20,000 - 25,000 in expenses.

Due to an e-mail glitch, the Rush
City School District did not receive its 2007 Minnesota Student Survey
results until last week.
As with its counterpart to the south,
the Rush City School District did not participate in the survey in
2004. Having participated in 2007 and in 2001 though, comparisons can
be made about behavioral changes over the last six years.
Unfortunately,
Rush City's 2001 student survey results are not broken out by gender,
so it is impossible to make trend comparisons by gender.

 The Rush City Council held a
public hearing on Monday night, in advance of passing an ordinance
establishing a minimum $500 fire charge for residents living in Rush
City's fire coverage area. The charge, approved by the council, will
affect residents living in Rush City, all of Rushseba Township and Rock
Creek, as well as those portions of Nessel, Fish Lake, and Royalton
townships that contract with the Rush City Fire Department.
At the public hearing Monday night, Rush City Fire Chief Bob Carlson
explained what the $500 charge would cover, and noted that the funds
would be earmarked solely for the fire equipment fund.

After summarizing the results of
the district's Minnesota Student Survey at the Jan. 10 meeting of the
School Board, North Branch Director of Teaching and Learning Jan Ashlin
concluded, "Ninth- and twelfth-grade females are a real at-risk
population."
Ashlin focused on just a sampling of categories from
the survey (see last week's article titled "New survey shows more NB
students want to go to college" for an in-depth look), but those
samplings were enough to bolster her conclusion.
