Mayor Lund's reaction, by email Thursday (link added): I think it is great! And long overdue as it is one of the mandates and requirements of the EPA to inform the public.

This is another positive outcome undoubtedly of the facebook cancer cluster. Their voice is being heard. Another elected official, state Rep.-elect Connie Bernardy, told Minnesota Public Radio: It seemed like there was a lot of …

Fridley 'Roof Raiser' Aims to Rake It in for Lee Carlson Center for Mental Health
With goal near, will Mayor Scott Lund have to sleep on top of Bob's Produce Ranch again?
You need warm pajamas to spend an October night on the roof of Bob's Produce Ranch, as Fridley Mayor Scott Lund and other officials have done at the annual Roof Raiser to raise funds for the Lee Carlson Center for Mental Health in Fridley. But with nine days to go, the Oct. 12, 2012 Roof Raiser is only $100 short of its announced $5,000 goal, according to the event website. Will the mayor's warm jammies get to stay in the drawer? If he does have to do it again, it's not that bad, Lund told the Star Tribune: "Other than being awakened by the air conditioner, it's quite fine. ... I've got a warm sleeping bag and a tent. Of course, you have to use concrete blocks to hold down the ropes of your tent—and then hope you don't get hit by a stiff …

PHOTO: Fridley Mayor Scott Lund Honored at Springbrook for Statewide Award
Event at nature center recognized Lund for winning the League of Minnesota Cities' C.C. Ludwig Award.
Fridley Mayor Scott Lund missed his first chance at public recognition for winning a statewide award in July, when historic floods swamped the Duluth area, where the League of Minnesota Cities was holding its annual meeting. Friends, colleagues and supporters gathered instead in considerably drier drought conditions last week at the Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley to recognize Lund for receiving the LMC's C.C. Ludwig award for mayors of cities of more than 10,000 residents. Among those in attendance on Sept. 11, 2012 were Dr. Bill Burns, Fridley city manager; Anoka County Commissioner Jim Kordiak; Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo; and members of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation, Fridley Lions, the Lee Carlson Center and …

Celebration of Fridley Mayor's Award Set for Tuesday
Sept. 11 Event at Springbrook Nature Center will recognize Scott Lund receiving the annual C.C. Ludwig Award from the League of Minnesota Cities.
Historic July flooding in northeastern Minnesota prevented Fridley Mayor Scott Lund from accepting a big award at the League of Minnesota Cities' annual conference in Duluth, but a local event will try to make up for that. The forecast is much more favorable for Fridley. The city's Springbrook Nature Center is the place for a celebration of Mayor Lund winning the League's 2012 C.C. Ludwig Award. The event is Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012, 5–7 p.m., with a program at 6 p.m. The award, for "vision, statesmanship, and unwavering commitment to the public good," goes to only two mayors each year. Three judges selected Lund from all the mayors of Minnesota cities with 10,000 or more residents. (The other mayor honored, for cities of fewer than 10,000 …

So instead of a ceremony to remember 9/11 the City will feed the Mayor's ego by holding an atta boy. Wish I knew what the actual criteria was. Pretty sure first and foremost was that he was running unopposed. In an election year, IMO, it wouldn't look good if "The League" were endorsing candidates. As far as the 2007 campaign to remove restrictions from utilities, in the Charter, his "victory" … more ›

Fridley Mayor on Superfund Sites, Carbon Filters and Erin Brockovich
Fridley Patch spoke with Mayor Scott Lund after Brockovich's town hall meeting.
Fridley Mayor Scott Lund talked to Patch after the Erin Brockovich town hall meeting about the possibility of installing carbon filters to prevent the pollutant TCE from reaching drinking-water taps in Fridley homes.
