Enjoying the outdoors and staying close to home as requested due to COVID-19. This is what #LoveWhereYouLive looks like… I ended the weekend with quite a checklist of places yet to walk & fish (all just waiting for another weekend!). We could have covered more ground but we decided we really wanted to go back to the Big Stone State Park for another day. Highlights from our weekend. First… what a treasure we have in the Big Stone State Park (LINK: Park website). I called to make sure that we could pull our little camper down for day trips to use it as our home base from walks & fishing – and it was open for that – we were even welcome to park our camper in any of the spots (we tried out a different one each day) and have a fire in the pit if we wanted! Other than the boat landing, we were the only ones in the park – amazing to explore in the privacy of our family group of 3! …

Governor Tim Walz Emergency Executive Order 20-40 LINK: EO-20-40-Final A framework for safely returning to work Today, Governor Tim Walz reviewed a framework for evaluating when it is safe to reopen a variety of workplace, social, and educational environments in Minnesota. That framework takes into consideration a number of health, economic, and social factors – and applies them to a variety of settings that have varying levels of predictability and size considerations. As part of that framework, he issued Executive Order 20-40, which provides a limited first step in the process of safely returning to work, beginning only with workers at non-Critical Sector industrial, manufacturing and office-based businesses that are non-customer facing. There are 2.6 million Minnesotans working right now. EO 20-40, developed in consultation with thousands of business leaders, labor leaders, and public health experts, will allow around 20,000 businesses and roughly 80,000 – 100,000 workers to go back to work beginning on Monday, April 27. In order to reopen, EO 20-40 requires these business to do three things: Create and share with their …
Let’s get together on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and have a practice “let’s get familiar with Zoom” meeting! Janine and I will be hosting the “webinar” type Zoom meeting and you will join as an “attendee” – this is the same setup that the Ortonville City Council is using for the regular meetings and Public Hearings during this time of social distancing. We will go over how you can raise your hand if you’d like to speak during the appropriate times during meetings & public hearings – by raising your hand… you’ll be brought into the meeting with your audio and you’ll be able to speak/discuss your points during the meeting and when you are done you will be placed back in the watch/listen “attendee” section of the Webinar style meeting. When we bring you over, we can also work through any audio issues that you may have – or if you’d rather use the chat option to communicate you statement or questions. Join us for a “just between friends” casual practice session on Zoom …
