2024 Flood Information

With all of the flooding, I wanted to pass along some helpful information. 

First, document everything! Pictures with dates and times on them, any receipts for hotels or replacement items, clean up items. 

Second, reach out to a Board Supervisor or email Jamie at southbendtownship@gmail.com. As emergencies haven’t been declared, other than the flood emergency in North Mankato, FEMA and the state emergency management can’t help yet. Phone numbers and/or email addresses will help us get you the necessary information in a timely manner.

This is a very helpful link for homeowners and renters to help with the next steps: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/hsem/disaster-recovery/Pages/homeowners-renters.aspx

South Bend Safe Routes Pop Ups

Representatives from South Bend Township, Blue Earth County, MAPO, and Bolton & Menk will be present at the Clark gas station, 101 S. Hawley Street, from 2:30pm to 3:30pm on Saturday, September 24, 2022, to gather community input regarding safe biking and walking routes along County Road 33 and County Road 69.

The group will then move to the Minneopa Golf Course near the food truck to gather more input from 4:15pm to 5:15pm.

Meeting Update

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Town Board will be adopting a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan. As part of that plan, we must limit the number of people that can be in the Town Hall, including for Regularly Scheduled Board Meetings. The Board Meetings will now be accessible via ZOOM. Please email the Clerk/Treasurer for the new links.
