The week of February 6, 2020, Postal Verification Cards were mailed to City of Carver households with at least one registered voter stating a polling place change.  These postcards inadvertently had the wrong polling place listed.  New postcards with the correct polling location will be mailed on February 13, 2020.

Please note the correct polling place for City of Carver residents beginning with the March 3, 2020, Presidential Nomination Primary is:

Carver City Hall
316 Broadway
Carver MN 55315

Following several months of discussion, along with two resident listening sessions, the City Council voted unanimously to rule out franchise fees as a funding source for future street maintenance.  As a part of the strategic plan, the City Council identified an initiative to study the use of franchise fees as a potential source of funding for the City’s Street Maintenance Program.  Franchise fees are a method of collecting funds from utility companies who use the City right-of-way.   

The City Council will continue to review project scheduling, future state aid, management of budget, property taxes, and other alternatives to successfully complete future street maintenance projects in the City.  The City Council will move forward with franchise agreements, with no fees, with cable television providers in Carver.  Comcast and Jaguar Communications need franchise agreements, no fees will be included, in order to fulfill a telecommunications requirement with the State of Minnesota. 

The Carver County Sheriff’s Office has started a new “Emergency Response Decals Program.” The reason behind the program is to assist deputies responding for certain calls for service. These decals will help deputies in knowing who they could possibly be dealing with in an emergency, and to assist them with the correct treatment or care. Deputies will be able to pass along useful information obtained from the decals to responding paramedics and county fire departments. This is a county-wide program and a great way to promote positive community relations by visiting with these individuals and families.

You can pick up these decals at Carver City Hall, 316 Broadway, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

“Over 75% of salt applied in the Twin Cities during winter ends up in lakes, wetlands or groundwater. If salt is lying on dry pavement, it’s not doing any work. Now is the perfect time to make sure any extra salt lying around is cleaned up. Check your walkways and sweep up extra salt before it gets tracked, washed, or blown into waters.
