The commission received a report on the need for demolition from several individuals on a committee formed by Brown County to review the issue.
Brown County Auditor-Treasurer Jean Prochniak gave an overview of the ballroom’s legal history and status. She said the state historic preservation society recommended bringing the decision to demolish the building before the local preservation committee before bringing it to the state for approval.

NEW ULM The New Ulm City Council approved moving forward with a fixed-route bus service for Brown County.
The city is looking at a fixed-route bus service for residents, employees, visitors and students. The city has partnered with Brown County Heartland Express, the transit service provider that operates demand-response service within New Ulm and all of Brown County.
The fixed-route bus service would run on a set schedule with stops located at major local destinations along a set route through the community.
City Manager Chris Dalton said this was not about approving the specific bus route, but to approve moving forward with it to let Brown County present it to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
