Community Meeting

Library Foot Room

Airbnbs, VRBOs, short-term rentals... whatever you call them, here's your chance to voice your thoughts on them in our community. The Advisory Planning Commission is studying Semi-Transient Accommodations uses in Red Wing, with an emphasis on short-term rentals, and they want to hear from you. That's why a community meeting will be held on April 11 to allow residents, businesses, and short-term rental operators to offer their opinions. In the meantime, City Council last night voted to introduce an interim ordinance establishing a 180-day moratorium, or temporary stop, on permits for Semi-Transient Accommodations uses. More discussion is on the way, so make sure to join the conversation. |

A day spent outside is a good day for Rick Knowlton, and fortunately, as someone who's spent most of his 25 years with the City working the parks, days outside are easy to come by. After years working in a body shop, Rick started out at the City working with solid waste, biding his time until he could step into the place he most wanted to be: the parks. With warmer weather on the way, Rick will soon be welcoming summer staff to help him in the downtown parks and enjoying quiet mornings performing pool maintenance at Colvill Park. Rick enjoys the outdoors in his off time too, taking vacations up north, fishing, and bear hunting. Congratulations, Rick on 25 years, and here's to more good days ahead. |
