THE EUREKA TOWN BOARD APPOINTS A NEW 

PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER!

     At the April 11, Town Board meeting, members of the

Board appointed Ralph Fredlund to the open position on 

the Planning Commission. The two applicants considered

were Ralph Fredlund and Charles "Butch" Hansen.

     Ralph Fredlund is a near life-long resident of the Dakota

County area and has lived in Eureka Township since 1980.

Ralph has attended Town Board, Planning Commission

and other related meetings in Eureka for the past several

years and is familiar and current with the Township 

Ordinances, policies, challenges, projects and issues in the

Township.

     Ralph is retired from a position as a Minnesota Department 

of Corrections Accounting Director. He feels that with training 

and experience focused in accounting, and with a career in

State Government, he is qualified to serve the citizens of Eureka

on the Planning Commission. Ralph is very familiar with 

government issues such as avoiding conflicts of interest, open

meeting laws and data privacy. As a retired citizen, he feels

he has time to commit to serve all citizens of Eureka with 

respect, fairness, common sense and integrity.

     I believe the citizens are quite fortunate to have someone so 

 qualified serving with our current and exceptional Planning

Commission members. Thank you, Ralph, for your 
dedication to the beauty and complexities of Eureka.
