Bridge would be great..lots of people either go 45 in 30 or 30 in 45
This made me laugh a little. Ryan, I’m thinking back to our baseball coaching days.🤣
Cody Hollund please for the love of God don't give them the idea of speed traps that can be used to ticket. The ones in Iowa are notoriously overzealous, I've been ticketed for speeding because I passed someone right where the camera was.

PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR TO RETIRE, DEPARTMENT CHANGES PROPOSED … With Public Safety Director JD Carlson retiring later this year, the Albert Lea City Council is considering changes to the police and fire departments. The Council will vote tonight, March 24, on introducing ordinance changes to eliminate the public safety director position that oversees both police and fire. Instead, each department would have a chief that reports directly to the city manager. The council is considering the change because both departments have experienced and knowledgeable personnel who can serve as department chiefs. The ordinance change requires 2 votes with the final adoption scheduled for April 14. For more details, read the news release: cityofalbertlea.org/carlsonretiring

Did you know that our personal protective equipment (PPE) has a lifespan of 10 years? Did you also know that it should be tested annually to make sure that it is still providing proper protection? Our gear is our first line of defense in staying healthy, protected and having a long career. The days of wearing dirty, worn and contaminated gear as a status symbol are a thing of the past.

LEAD PIPES BEING REPLACED: The City of Albert Lea has identified 171 properties with known lead water lines that need replacing. Lead service lines are a concern because exposure to this metal may cause serious health effects. The city has awarded contracts to 2 plumbing services with the lowest bids – Platinum Plumbing of Albert Lea and BCM Construction of Faribault – to replace the lines at no charge. If contacted by either firm, please respond promptly to arrange replacement. Both are licensed by the State of Minnesota and have provided bonds to ensure compliance with the contract for replacement. The Utilities Department will monitor work outside homes while city inspectors will check connections inside homes. As funded by the Minnesota Department of Health, there is no charge to property owners when using Platinum Plumbing or BCM Construction. For more information: Call the Utilities Department at 507-377-4377 or go to loom.ly/eGX2zMY. ... See MoreSee Less

WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR RETIRING … the Albert Lea City Council introduced an ordinance change on March 24 to eliminate the public safety director position – in place since 2012 – that oversees both police and fire departments. Instead, a police and a fire chief would oversee their respective departments with both reporting directly to the city manager. The council is considering the change with Public Safety Director JD Carlson retiring this June. The council is proposing this change because both the Albert Lea Police Department and Albert Lea Fire Rescue have deputy chiefs with the required experience and expertise to lead their departments. All ordinance changes require 2 votes, with the second and final vote set for April 14. Have a question or comment? Contact a city councilor directly!
