Is your home ready for fall?

September 26, 2022 Waite Park Community Council

Before you know it, the leaves are going to start to drop, the temperature is going to dip, and fall will be in full swing. As you start to break out your sweaters and put away your sandals, make sure your home is ready for the cold too. Don’t wait until it starts to snow to find out you needed to replace your windows or upgrade your furnace.

The Waite Park Community Council and Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) can help you take on these home improvements with their loan programs designed specifically for Waite Park residents. With these loan programs you can complete a wide range of home improvement projects, from a new heating system or insulating your attic to new floors or a fresh coat of paint throughout your house. The options are endless, get started today!

Financing is not one-size fits all. That is why our neighborhood loan program offers multiple financing options, all of which have flexible terms, so you can find a loan that is the best fit for your home. You can find more information on our home improvement loan page or by calling 612-335-5884.

WPCC board amends rain garden budget, sets 2023 calendar dates

August 26, 2022 Waite Park Community Council

The Waite Park Community Council approved additional funding for its 2022 rain garden program and set calendar dates for 2023 at its regular monthly board meeting on Aug. 25.

The meeting was chaired by WPCC President Dan Haugen and attended by board members Nick Stroozas, Gary Arnteson, Chelsey Blanke, Scott Larson, Tiffany Moore, Leah Wallgren Price, Katherine Cornish, and Ali Nussbaum.

In April, the council entered a $19,375 contract with Metro Blooms Design + Build to subsidize the cost of installing up to 25 rain gardens for homeowners in the Waite Park neighborhood. A total of 15 residents signed up for this year's program.

The cost per rain garden was contingent on the availability of Conservation Corps Teams. Metro Blooms was allocated fewer crews than anticipated for the project, forcing it to use its own paid crews at a cost of $2080 per day.

The community council's final cost, prorated for 15 projects including higher labor costs, came to $20,750. The WPCC board unanimously approved allocating an additional $1,500 to ensure the rain gardens can be completed this season.

The board also voted to set Wednesday, February 1, 2023, as the date of its next annual meeting and board election. And it voted to set Saturday, September 9, 2023, as the date of its next fall festival. (This year's fall festival is set for Saturday, September 10.)

The Waite Park Community Council's next regular board meeting is scheduled for 7pm Thursday, Sept. 29, on Zoom.
