Eyota City Council welcomes new faces

Tyrel Clark was sworn in as the new mayor of Eyota, while Bryan Cornell and Tony Nelson were sworn in as council members. Clark resigned his position as councilman to become mayor. The council approved Curt Holst to fill Clark’s seat for the two years remaining on his term. Nelson was re-elected to serve another term on the council while Cornell is a new member. The council is looking forward to a busy year with many projects on the agenda. Clark pointed out several important projects.

“The South Avenue redo is very important,” Clark said. “There is a two block portion that is very busy with a lot of water problems.” Clark stressed the importance of the Safe Routes to School project. “Safe Routes to School is $350,000,” said Clark. “New sidewalks, upgrades and new trails to make it easier and safer for kids to walk to school.”

The ambulance building is a big question mark according to Clark. Cornell and his family have been residents of Eyota for six years. “I want to help my community,” said Cornell. “I have three small children and I want to help their futures.” One of Holst’s concerns is to keep the small businesses in town. He has lived in Eyota since 1995 and has seen small businesses leave.

“It’s exciting, a new path for me,” said Holst. “Hopefully, I can have some impact and help out.” Holst was selected from three candidates who applied to fill the empty position. Coucilman Nelson thanked all the candidates and said, “In two years we will need to do it again so get your names on the ballot, we need more names on the ballot.”

The council set Thursday, January 31 at 7:00 p.m. for a meeting to review 2013 plans and review the budget.
