2/24/2020 <br />City of Elk River, <br />My name is Keith Burnham, and I have been a resident and <br />business owner in Wright and Sherburne County for over 20 years. <br />Burnham Companies LLC was formed in 1999 as a tree and landscape <br />company that specialized in residential and commercial tree trimming, <br />removal, planting, landscaping, and snow removal. As the company <br />evolved through the years, Burnham established itself into the 2 <br />separate businesses it operates today; Right Of Way clearing for MN <br />Electric Cooperatives, and manufacturing and distribution of premium <br />natural and colored landscape mulch. Burnham Companies currently <br />employs a staff of 10 full-time year-round employees, and hires on <br />additional seasonal employees as needed. Burnham currently operates, <br />and will continue to operate its equipment, manufacturing, and outdoor <br />storage on a 119-acre campus on the west side of Monticello. Burnham <br />has outgrown its leased office suite in Monticello, and we see an <br />opportunity to merge and share office space with another company <br />that shares the same ownership. Burnham's long time Controller has <br />been an Elk River resident for 27 years, and she is excited about the <br />prospect of an easy commute to work. Burnham would utilize the <br />existing office space for management, new employee orientation, <br />safety training, and continuing education. <br />
