I Am A Former HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL MEMBER (2013-2017) As Well As A Retired, LICENSED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER With Nearly TWENTY YEARS (1966 - 1997) Of Experience Which INCLUDED The HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (Minnesota's LARGEST Sheriff's Office) Where I Attained The Rank Of SERGEANT In TWO Of The Sheriff's Department's Divisions.
For Nearly FIVE YEARS, I've Been 'Digging In' To Some Of The LESS THAN HONORABLE 'BEHAVIORS' and GROSS MISCONDUCT Of The PUBLIC OFFICIALS Of The CITY OF HAMBURG (Minnesota), A Small Carver County City Of About 570 Residents, Located Forty-Five Miles Southwest Of The Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area. As You Peruse My Many
Webapges That I Began Designing Shortly After Moving To Hamburg In 2007, You'll Note That The Content Of My Webpages Changed Dramatically When I Discovered What Was Taking Place In The City After Being Elected To The HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL In 2012 !!
While Carver County is MINNE$OTA'$ WEALTHIE$T COUNTY; The Property Taxes In The CITY OF HAMBURG Are Very Close To Being The HIGHEST (If Not THE HIGHEST) Of ALL Of The Cities And Townships In The County !! After Being Elected To The HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL, It DIDN'T Take Me Long To Realize That CITY SPENDING WAS OUT OF CONTROL And There Was NO ACCOUNTABILITY Of The CITY'S SPENDING Or Of The CITY'S PUBLIC OFFICIALS !!
It Was A "We Need More Money So We'll Just Raise Everybody's Taxes" 'Mentality' !!
When I, as an ELECTED CITY OFFICIAL Of The CITY OF HAMBURG; Started 'ASKING QUESTIONS' About What Was
Taking Place In The City, It Didn't 'Go Well' For The City. I Was Met With RIGOROUS OPPOSITION By The MAYOR,
Other CITY COUNCILMEMBERS; The CITY CLERK/TREASURER; EVEN THE 'Contract' CITY ATTORNEY !!
Apparently I Was 'GOING WHERE NO MAN HAD EVER GONE BEFORE' !!
It Turned Our To Be Quite 'A WILD RIDE' For Me During The Last 2 1/2 Years Of My City Council Term !! EVEN THOUGH The Waconia Based Law Firm (MELCHERT, HUBERT & SJODIN) Was PAID $50,000.00 HAMBURG TAXPAYER
DOLLARS For Their 'Contract' CITY ATTORNEY'S ADVICE TO THE CITY of HOW TO 'GET RID OF ME',
That DIDN'T 'Go Well' For The City, Either. I PROUDLY Served My ENTIRE FOUR YEAR TERM !!
What Started With The LYING, DECEPTION, CONSPIRACY And FABRICATION Of An OFFICIAL CITY
DOCUMENT By The HAMBURG CITY CLERK/TREASURER That KNOWINGLY CONTAINED FALSE
INFORMATION, Soon 'EXPANDED' To Include The CARVER COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, The MINNESOTA OFFICE OF LAWYER'S PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY, MINNESOTA
ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON And, Yes; Even Our GOVERNOR OF
THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, TIMOTHY JAMES WALZ !!

Comments Made By Three Term Carver County Sheriff 'Bud' Olson During
One Of His Many Appearances As A Guest On My Internet Show !!
Dick:
Thanks for your Public Service; you do so much and probably don't get recognized for any of it.
But, you are a wonderful asset for Carver County and Hamburg and for your radio listening community; you're just a great guy.
Thanks so much.
My prayer would be more Dick Odoms' would rise up and get involved in their lives, in their communities and in our way of life ! Our future needs courageous leaders who are not afraid to 'challenge' the process and our leaders. America needs our involvement more than ever before because of the polarization that is taking place at all levels of government and our lives.
I have tried to think of any part of my life where government is not involved in some way, shape or form. While I believe we cannot live without "the people" looking out for each other, I believe we have created a monster that has an appetite we can not sustain. Something has to give ......
Wishing you Life's Best today and everyday.

Born In 1943, I Am Now A Retired Law Enforcement
Officer Whose Career Began in 1966.
In addition to attaining the rank of Sergeant with the MAPLE PLAIN (Minnesota) POLICE DEPARTMENT (now WEST HENNEPIN DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY), I joined the HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (Minnesota's Largest Sheriff's Office) in October 1969 as a Senior Deputy Sheriff and attained the rank of Sergeant in both the RADIO/COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION as well as in the WARRANT/FUGITIVE DIVISION.
While continuously maintaining a valid MINNESOTA POLICE OFFICER STANDARDS & TRAINING BOARD (P.O.S.T.) License until it's expiration in 1997, I retired from the Sheriff's Office in September 1984. I am also a former EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN (E.M.T.) and a UNITED STATES AIR FORCE FIRE PROTECTION SPECIALIST.
In 2012, I was elected to a four year term on the HAMBURG (Minnesota) CITY COUNCIL, I currently host THREE Websites as well as a regularly scheduled hour long, five times a week Internet Show and a series of Internet Programs that primarily feature current & retired Law Enforcement and other Public Safety Officials.

Re: Issue Resulting From Installation Of New Residential Underground Service
Dear Mr. Frenzel: CLICK ON THE IMAGES ABOVE TO MAKE THEM LARGER
On Monday May 12, 2024, after experiencing the poor manner in which the ‘normal channels’ of your company were responding; I took the extraordinary measure of sending a letter to you expressing our great dissatisfaction as the result of new, but unfinished; underground service being installed in our home last fall and what needed to be done to ‘wrap up’ the ‘project’.
On Friday May 16th, I received a response from Xcel Energy from Customer Advocate Analyst, Janelle Prince along with a ‘Claim Form’ that I was asked to complete and return with any ‘supporting’ documentation, pictures, estimates and the like. That ‘claim form’ and supporting pictures, documents, etc., were returned to Xcel Energy THAT SAME DAY !! (It is worth noting that the communication accompanying the ‘Claim Form’ I received stated the ‘it could take up to ninety days’ for my ‘claim’ to be settled.”
Because that requested information was sent via Priority Mail, I was able to determine that it was received by your company on Monday, May 19th. On Wednesday May 21, I was contacted by Damion Wickhem, the Manager of CLEAR SCAPE OUTDOOR SERVICES. Mr. Wickhem stated that Xcel Energy ‘contracts’ with his company to do ground and property ‘restorations’ when and where necessary; and wanted to make an ‘on-site’ inspection of what we needed restored as the result of the new underground electrical service being installed.
Mr. Wickhem came out Thursday, May 22 at 11AM, saw what needed to be done, his ‘crew’ arrived the next morning; Friday, May 23 and by EVERYTHING WAS RESTORED FAR BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS by 3:30PM FRIDAY AFTERNOON !!
Local, County, State and Federal government agencies could 'LEARN VOLUMES' simply by following your company’s ‘BASIC BUSINESS PRINCIPLES’ of CUSTOMER SERVICE, RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY !! Your company’s ‘motto’, “RESPONSIBLE BY NATURE”
has taken on a WHOLE NEW MEANING to us.
Thank you for providing the public with such a reputable, reliable, quality and responsive company, and for your PERSONAL ATTENTION to
TOTALLY RESOLVE our ’unique situation’ to our TOTAL & COMPLETE SATISFACTION !!
Sincerely,
Richard Odoms

Mr. Odoms,
Due to the nature of the Data Practices Act request and the accusations you have made against City Staff and Council, the city is requesting you to inspect the data at the city attorney’s office in Waconia. A designated
room will be available for you to review the documents, and two members of the law office staff will be present during your inspection. To arrange your visit, please contact Ms. Dohm at 952-442-7724.

MINNESOTA GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE
JEFF JOHNSON
is currently a St. Cloud resident who was born in Chisago City, MN. He previously lived in Minneapolis and moved to a hobby turned dairy farm in Winona. His family has deep roots in Stillwater and today, several of his relatives still make the "birthplace of Minnesota" their home. Jeff is a life long learner and recently achieved a "bucket list" item that he has dreamed about since farming in high school...obtaining his Class A Commercial Driver License (CDL) to drive the big rigs. In 2021, Jeff took a break from teaching and took a driving job hauling pharmaceuticals to keep drug stores, clinics, and hospitals stocked with life saving drugs. He was affectionately called “a drug runner” but the good news is that the operation he was involved in
was entirely legal and necessary. Afterwards, he drove a milk semi truck in central Minnesota. Jeff is equally comfortable and experienced working with both blue and white collar workers, An effective office holder MUST be student-like who is open to continuous learning from We The People in order to understand the issues and provide real world solutions.

"THE 'COVER-UP', MORE THAN THE INITIAL WRONGDOING;
IS WHAT IS MOST LIKELY TO BRING YOU DOWN."
MADELYN ALBRIGHT, Former United States Secretary of State
WHY are HAMBURG CITY OFFICIALS so INTENT on PURSUING their VINDICTIVE,
FRIVOLOUS, HARASSING & MALICIOUS CRIMINAL PROSECUTION (see below) of the TREBESCH FAMILY while, at the same time; REFUSING, AT
LEAST SIX TIMES; TO PROVIDE RELEVANT INFORMATION
that BENEFITS THE TREBESCH DEFENSE ??
WHO will be THE CITY'S NEXT 'VICTIM' ??
COMPLETE COURT FILE AVAILABLE at:
When prompted, enter: Case Number 10-CR-25-244
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION (Federal):
There isn't one single "malicious prosecution" federal statute, but rather claims are brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a Civil Rights Act provision allowing suits against state/local officials for violating constitutional rights, often tied to Fourth Amendment (unreasonable seizure/prosecution without probable cause) and Fourteenth Amendment (due process) violations, requiring proof the case ended favorably for the accused and lacked probable cause, with the official acting with malice or improper purpose.
Key Federal Statute - 42 U.S.C. § 1983:
This statute allows individuals to sue government officials (state, local) for actions taken "under color of law" that deprive them of rights secured by the Constitution and federal laws.
Constitutional Basis:
Fourth Amendment: Protects against unreasonable seizures, making wrongful initiation of prosecution without probable cause a constitutional violation.
Fourteenth Amendment: Ensures due process, relevant when prosecution methods are unfair.
Elements of a § 1983 Malicious Prosecution Claim:
To succeed, a plaintiff must typically prove:
Initiation: A government actor (police, prosecutor) initiated a criminal proceeding.
Lack of Probable Cause:
The official lacked sufficient reason (probable cause) to believe a crime occurred.
Favorable Termination:
The criminal case ended in the plaintiff's favor (e.g., dropped, acquitted, or ended in a way not inconsistent with innocence, per Thompson v. Clark).
Malice/Improper Purpose:
The official acted with malice or for a purpose other than justice.
How it Works:
It's a "constitutional tort" for police misconduct or abuse of power in the criminal justice process, holding officials accountable in federal court.
It's distinct from state-law malicious prosecution claims, though elements overlap, focusing on constitutional rights deprivation.
