In 1999, the Eureka Town Board established the first township citizen task force, charged with considering the issue of aggregate (gravel) mining in Eureka. Since then, the board has created several other task forces in an effort to facilitate citizen input on important issues affecting the future of Eureka.
Strategic Vision Citizen Advisory Committee
Town Hall Task Force | Envisioning Task Force | Commercial Task Force
Nonconforming Land Use Committee | Mining Task Force
Notices concerning the formation of future township task forces will be posted on this web site and will be published in the Lakeville This Week/Life and Times.
Strategic Vision Citizen Advisory Committee
The Strategic Vision Citizen Advisory Committee was established in September 2006 to formulate a broad strategic vision that will help guide future planning for Eureka in preparation for the Township’s 2008 Comprehensive Plan update.
The committee will meet approximately 5-6 times and conduct two public open houses during the course of the next 9-12 months. . .
Town Hall Task Force
The Town Hall Task Force was established in September 2001 and charged to research alternative meeting sites to the town hall, as well as possible land options and building options for construction of a new town hall.
The Town Hall Task Force has completed its work, and the New Eureka Town Hall was dedicated on March 8, 2005.
Envisioning Task Force
The Envisioning Task Force was established by the town board in May 2001 and charged to work with Dakota County and 1000 Friends of Minnesota to study various growth scenarios and their impacts on the township. The task force held a public open house in November 2002 to present preliminary findings. Another public open house was held in November 2003.
The Envisioning Task Force completed its study in November 2003 and presented a final report to the town board for its consideration. The report is available on CD for $2.00 ($3.00 with shipping and handling). A hardcopy summary report (24-pages, full color, 11 x 17) is available for $17.00 ($20 with shipping and handling). Contact town clerk Nanett Sandstrom at 952-469-3736 or eurekatn@frontiernet.net for more information.
Commercial Task Force
The Commercial Task Force was established by the town board in March 2002 and charged to conduct fact-finding on the issue of new commercial development in the township, including whether such development is desirable. The purpose of the task force was to provide the town board and township citizens with the necessary information to make an informed decision about future commercial development.
The Commercial Task Force completed its study in fall 2003 and presented the Eureka Town Board with its report and recommendations.
Nonconforming Land Use Committee
The Nonconforming Land Use Committee was established by the town board in May 2003. The purpose of the task force was to review Ordinance 32 on Nonconforming Commercial Uses and provide the town board with recommendations for changes to the ordinance.
The committee presented a summary report to the Eureka Town Board on September 8, 2003. The report was used to update the nonconforming use ordinance in 2004.
