WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:10.000
You get down by where you live and it gets a little more clearly.

00:10.000 --> 00:11.000
Yeah.

00:11.000 --> 00:12.000
Yeah.

00:12.000 --> 00:13.000
Watch the answer.

00:13.000 --> 00:14.000
Yes.

00:14.000 --> 00:16.000
There's only one way in and out of there.

00:16.000 --> 00:17.000
Yeah.

00:17.000 --> 00:18.000
It's tight.

00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
It really is.

00:21.000 --> 00:29.000
I think I'm going to give us, I think you're going to start to

00:29.000 --> 00:32.000
figure stuff out before the contracts do it in 2020.

00:32.000 --> 00:33.000
Yeah.

00:33.000 --> 00:35.000
January 27th or December 27th.

00:35.000 --> 00:37.000
December 27th or December 7th.

00:37.000 --> 00:40.000
So 27th started.

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
I'm sure we know you're still in the address of that.

00:43.000 --> 00:47.000
And I think we've probably been asked.

00:47.000 --> 00:50.000
I don't see that being issued.

00:50.000 --> 00:58.000
I don't think I've ever had that session.

00:59.000 --> 01:01.000
Put this to vote.

01:01.000 --> 01:04.000
Does it need to go to vote?

01:04.000 --> 01:06.000
I would prefer it.

01:06.000 --> 01:12.000
I motion that we at this time decline taking on the additional

01:12.000 --> 01:22.000
section and a half for the Raytown show.

01:22.000 --> 01:23.000
Second.

01:23.000 --> 01:26.000
All in favor?

01:27.000 --> 01:28.000
Aye.

01:28.000 --> 01:29.000
Opposed?

01:29.000 --> 01:30.000
Aye.

01:30.000 --> 01:33.000
That's just 3-1.

01:33.000 --> 01:41.000
Do the township.

01:41.000 --> 01:46.000
My board members add a little here.

01:46.000 --> 01:55.000
I would say, I would say yeah.

01:55.000 --> 01:58.000
Okay.

01:58.000 --> 02:03.000
Okay.

02:03.000 --> 02:07.000
Well, now how did that work out?

02:07.000 --> 02:12.000
Well, typically what happens is motion is made in a second and then the vote

02:12.000 --> 02:13.000
takes place.

02:13.000 --> 02:18.000
So I would maybe ask those present what their votes are.

02:18.000 --> 02:20.000
Because the motion was made and seconded.

02:20.000 --> 02:24.000
So it's already ready to go for that.

02:24.000 --> 02:28.000
But then it has to come back to the city council.

02:28.000 --> 02:32.000
Again, correct?

02:32.000 --> 02:36.000
Well, normally when we have our joint meetings, those in the crowd will also

02:36.000 --> 02:40.000
hold, you know, like to approve the minutes and things like that.

02:40.000 --> 02:44.000
So yeah, you could ask them for the vote tonight.

02:44.000 --> 02:49.000
You can ask them to vote tonight.

02:49.000 --> 02:53.000
Okay.

02:53.000 --> 02:58.000
Well, let's see here.

02:58.000 --> 03:03.000
We're ready to go.

03:03.000 --> 03:04.000
Nay.

03:04.000 --> 03:05.000
Nay.

03:05.000 --> 03:08.000
The motion was to deny.

03:08.000 --> 03:09.000
Yup.

03:09.000 --> 03:12.000
So vote in favor would be just deny the coverage.

03:12.000 --> 03:15.000
So we're voting nay or opposing the motion.

03:15.000 --> 03:18.000
Okay.

03:18.000 --> 03:23.000
Okay.

03:23.000 --> 03:27.000
And we have Alton.

03:27.000 --> 03:37.000
My only question is what section is the one that's being double covered?

03:37.000 --> 03:38.000
Fourteen.

03:38.000 --> 03:39.000
Fourteen.

03:39.000 --> 03:40.000
Fourteen.

03:40.000 --> 03:45.000
Okay.

03:45.000 --> 03:49.000
Okay.

03:49.000 --> 03:53.000
Okay.

03:53.000 --> 03:59.000
Third one.

03:59.000 --> 04:05.000
Third one.

04:05.000 --> 04:14.000
I guess I'd be, I'd be for sort of this name that's turning down

04:14.000 --> 04:19.000
I would be for changeable.

04:19.000 --> 04:24.000
Okay.

04:24.000 --> 04:33.000
So that puts us at four, three in favor of us not taking the

04:33.000 --> 04:38.000
edition of the township.

04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
Is there anything else?

04:40.000 --> 04:42.000
Any other discussion on that?

04:42.000 --> 04:47.000
I think we covered all the town chips, Quentin.

04:47.000 --> 04:51.000
I believe so.

04:51.000 --> 04:53.000
So four, three vote.

04:53.000 --> 04:59.000
We do not cover.

04:59.000 --> 05:01.000
Thank you.

05:01.000 --> 05:06.000
And just so everyone knows we are having our regular summer meeting July 13th,

05:06.000 --> 05:11.000
the joint fire board.

05:12.000 --> 05:15.000
Yeah, we'll do that in a second.

05:15.000 --> 05:16.000
Yeah.

05:16.000 --> 05:17.000
All right.

05:17.000 --> 05:20.000
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

05:20.000 --> 05:28.000
I appreciate it.

05:28.000 --> 05:29.000
Yeah.

05:29.000 --> 05:32.000
We'll motion to adjourn.

05:32.000 --> 05:33.000
Okay.

05:33.000 --> 05:34.000
All in favor?

05:34.000 --> 05:35.000
Aye.

05:35.000 --> 05:39.000
I guess we'll call that.

05:39.000 --> 05:46.000
Seven o'clock.

05:46.000 --> 05:50.000
Seven o'clock.

05:50.000 --> 05:56.000
Seven on four.

05:56.000 --> 06:02.000
We can now jump back into our city council meeting.

06:02.000 --> 06:03.000
Thanks.

06:03.000 --> 06:07.000
Thank you.

06:07.000 --> 06:17.000
All right.

06:17.000 --> 06:20.000
It's solved.

06:20.000 --> 06:27.000
Move of the agenda.

06:27.000 --> 06:28.000
Second.

06:28.000 --> 06:29.000
All in favor?

06:29.000 --> 06:30.000
Aye.

06:30.000 --> 06:31.000
Aye.

06:31.000 --> 06:32.000
Aye.

06:33.000 --> 06:36.000
Consent agenda.

06:36.000 --> 06:40.000
The taps are the minutes from May 11th, not March 9th.

06:40.000 --> 06:42.000
That was a typo there.

06:42.000 --> 06:47.000
So the May 11th minutes, and then we have three sets of payables,

06:47.000 --> 06:50.000
and we also have receivables.

06:50.000 --> 06:53.000
Nothing really stuck out too much except one item,

06:53.000 --> 06:56.000
and I'm going to talk about here in a couple minutes.

06:56.000 --> 07:01.000
Do you have anything, Sarah Joe?

07:02.000 --> 07:11.000
Motion to approve the consent agenda?

07:11.000 --> 07:12.000
All in favor?

07:12.000 --> 07:13.000
Aye.

07:13.000 --> 07:14.000
All in favor?

07:14.000 --> 07:15.000
Aye.

07:15.000 --> 07:16.000
Aye.

07:16.000 --> 07:17.000
Aye.

07:17.000 --> 07:18.000
Aye.

07:18.000 --> 07:19.000
Aye.

07:19.000 --> 07:20.000
Aye.

07:20.000 --> 07:21.000
Aye.

07:21.000 --> 07:22.000
Aye.

07:22.000 --> 07:23.000
Aye.

07:23.000 --> 07:24.000
Aye.

07:24.000 --> 07:25.000
Public forum.

07:25.000 --> 07:28.000
Do we have anybody here to speak through public forum?

07:28.000 --> 07:29.000
Go ahead.

07:30.000 --> 07:31.000
State's your name.

07:31.000 --> 07:32.000
Virginia McCarthy.

07:32.000 --> 07:39.000
I live on West North Street, and I'm here to talk about the house at 500 West North

07:39.000 --> 07:46.000
Street, which has been abandoned for over 10 years.

07:46.000 --> 07:51.000
There's been enough mold in the house that the ceilings have collapsed.

07:51.000 --> 07:55.000
The doors have all been unlocked.

07:56.000 --> 07:59.000
There's grass and trees growing.

07:59.000 --> 08:06.000
The city has come and cut those down once, and it needs it again.

08:06.000 --> 08:10.000
The shed also is open.

08:10.000 --> 08:15.000
There's a brush in the yard along with the grass and weeds.

08:15.000 --> 08:22.000
And until this year, the gillers have been mowing the lawn, so it would be a lot longer

08:22.000 --> 08:25.680
if they had not been doing it.

08:25.680 --> 08:26.840
The windows are open.

08:26.840 --> 08:31.160
They've been open for over two years.

08:31.160 --> 08:38.760
The utilities have been off for years, and there was the previous owners said that every

08:38.760 --> 08:43.280
time it rained, there was water in the basement, and they had to bail it.

08:43.280 --> 08:51.320
With the utilities being off, I've been told standing water in the basement, which has

08:51.320 --> 08:53.160
made the mold.

08:53.160 --> 08:59.760
I do have a letter from another area of person on our street that could not be here.

08:59.760 --> 09:04.480
I'd like permission to read that.

09:04.480 --> 09:11.920
To the Mayor and Jamesville City Council, since November of 2016, I've been having conversations

09:11.920 --> 09:20.560
with city personnel about the abandoned property at 500 West North Street owned by Lee M. Erickson.

09:20.560 --> 09:28.400
I have also had many phone conversations with Mr. Erickson in 2016, 2017, and most

09:28.400 --> 09:32.040
recently in October of 2025.

09:32.040 --> 09:37.120
My concerns from the beginning have been more about health and safety of people, especially

09:37.120 --> 09:39.280
children in the neighborhood.

09:39.280 --> 09:44.960
This home has been open, both doors to the home, garage, and shed, with the potential

09:44.960 --> 09:47.720
for many dangerous things to happen.

09:47.720 --> 09:54.720
The spaces are full of household items, black mold, snowmobiles, snow glowers.

09:54.720 --> 10:00.040
The back porch is rotting, the gutters are falling off the house.

10:00.040 --> 10:07.320
An abandoned boat and trailer sit in the driveway full of water and weeds breeding mosquitoes.

10:07.320 --> 10:12.760
Mr. Erickson alleges he is in the midst of lawsuits, makes many promises to clean the

10:12.760 --> 10:19.280
property, and even alleges that he is planning to return to the home to retire there.

10:19.280 --> 10:25.840
It is also my understanding that Mr. Erickson is current with his taxes and mortgage payments,

10:25.840 --> 10:31.840
so perhaps the only thing that I can ask for for the city to do for my neighborhood is

10:31.840 --> 10:37.600
to secure the buildings and put up signage warning that is a hazard of sight and people

10:37.600 --> 10:39.560
should stay away.

10:39.560 --> 10:44.240
Most people don't even know the house is vacant because a neighbor has been mowing

10:44.240 --> 10:47.880
the property and parking vehicles in the driveway.

10:47.880 --> 10:52.920
The city workers have also cleaned the lot and mowed a few times over the years.

10:52.920 --> 10:58.720
Ten years is a long time to watch a family home situated directly across from a park

10:58.720 --> 11:00.640
fall into ruins.

11:00.640 --> 11:04.920
This does not appear to be a problem that will go away by itself.

11:04.920 --> 11:10.520
This is not the only home in the city falling apart to the point of total disrepair.

11:10.520 --> 11:16.320
What can and what will our city government do about this blight in our community?

11:16.320 --> 11:18.840
Thank you, Terry Gardner.

11:18.840 --> 11:24.160
And so I've been living next to this for over ten years now.

11:24.160 --> 11:30.720
He has come, apologized, promised to take care of it.

11:30.720 --> 11:33.600
What can be done?

11:33.600 --> 11:36.160
He's paying his taxes.

11:36.160 --> 11:40.400
Do we have no recourse?

11:40.400 --> 11:43.240
We can maybe call the county health kit.

11:43.240 --> 11:48.240
Sounds like an option to start with there.

11:48.240 --> 11:52.680
Yeah, we can do that.

11:52.680 --> 11:53.680
Okay.

11:53.680 --> 11:56.480
And where is the city?

11:56.480 --> 11:58.280
Ten billion?

11:58.280 --> 12:02.120
Well, that's the question I have to ask the county.

12:02.120 --> 12:06.400
Yeah, that's a lot of stuff, one.

12:06.400 --> 12:10.440
So you maybe need to talk to our attorney, too.

12:10.440 --> 12:11.440
Sure.

12:11.440 --> 12:17.360
And we at one point did have a petition from neighbors on the street to do something about

12:17.360 --> 12:22.040
it, but nothing ever happened.

12:22.040 --> 12:23.040
Thank you.

12:23.040 --> 12:25.280
Can I have Terry's letter or does she want to back?

12:25.280 --> 12:26.280
Pardon me?

12:26.280 --> 12:27.280
Can I have Terry's letter?

12:27.280 --> 12:28.280
Yeah.

12:28.280 --> 12:30.520
Or even if you want to just copy it or something.

12:30.520 --> 12:31.520
I need a copy.

12:31.520 --> 12:32.520
Okay.

12:32.520 --> 12:33.520
Thanks.

12:33.520 --> 12:37.800
Well, we'll go put it in the record.

12:37.800 --> 12:52.440
Does anybody else have anything through public forum, public forum, moving on?

12:52.440 --> 12:55.960
Notices and communications.

12:55.960 --> 12:57.960
I don't have any.

12:57.960 --> 12:58.960
Thank you.

12:58.960 --> 12:59.960
Thank you.

13:00.960 --> 13:04.960
Council reports.

13:04.960 --> 13:16.320
The EDA is working on several things.

13:16.320 --> 13:24.360
I'd like to report first that Caitlin has received her first grant.

13:24.360 --> 13:27.320
And while it's not large, it's the first one.

13:27.400 --> 13:32.400
So it's important that it's noted to the community.

13:32.400 --> 13:37.800
And that money that she's earned will be used for signs and banners for signs in the park

13:37.800 --> 13:48.880
along with some handout items, a bag for the farmer's market and some other midnight

13:48.880 --> 13:54.720
brochures and that kind of thing.

13:54.720 --> 14:02.880
We also worked or discussed beautify your storefront project.

14:02.880 --> 14:11.960
And we did part of reviewing the grant for new businesses.

14:11.960 --> 14:20.080
We have one applicant left to interview for that.

14:20.080 --> 14:25.360
I would like to say that it's nice to sit on the EDA board right now.

14:25.360 --> 14:30.480
Sarah is a new member since Andy is no longer there.

14:30.480 --> 14:34.280
And there are three other new members sitting on the board with her.

14:34.280 --> 14:41.240
So it kind of changed the focus of the group when we have four new members sitting there

14:41.240 --> 14:42.240
at once.

14:42.240 --> 14:50.640
I showed up and let them all start.

14:50.640 --> 14:55.480
If we moved to Park Road, Park Road's got new carpets in the hallways.

14:55.480 --> 15:05.520
We're working at buying a fork, vacuum cleaning system to take care of the new carpets.

15:05.520 --> 15:10.960
The other thing, one of the other things we're working on is our staff is using their personal

15:10.960 --> 15:15.600
phones for Park Road.

15:15.600 --> 15:26.240
And we're encouraging them to get phones specifically for Park Road's business should

15:26.240 --> 15:27.240
something happen.

15:27.240 --> 15:31.760
Their personal phone could be confiscated down the road.

15:31.760 --> 15:38.360
I mean, if there was a review or something on the way businesses being done, it could

15:38.360 --> 15:39.360
be confiscated.

15:39.360 --> 15:44.000
It should be separate and separate.

15:44.000 --> 15:53.680
And the other thing we did is we signed a check to Schmidt's siting and windows for

15:53.680 --> 16:03.360
about $350,000 for the first half of the new windows that will be coming in October.

16:03.360 --> 16:11.760
And they will be installing them for us with their own crews.

16:11.760 --> 16:15.480
They figure construction time should take two weeks in October.

16:15.480 --> 16:18.920
They'll be bringing in seven crews.

16:18.920 --> 16:27.040
They're a pretty reputable company on the Mankato and we're happy to have them on board.

16:27.040 --> 16:34.040
It's almost good.

16:34.040 --> 16:39.040
I have the hard work we'll be meeting to speak to next week.

16:39.040 --> 16:43.040
It's been a whole lot of pushing back on days and whatnot.

16:43.040 --> 16:45.040
Planning Commission met on the third.

16:45.040 --> 16:50.040
We had the public hearing for a branch across it.

16:50.040 --> 16:54.040
We're going to deal with the year for two or one first street.

16:54.040 --> 16:56.040
We'll deal with that later.

16:56.040 --> 17:02.040
Planning Commission does used to go to Wisconsin before with that.

17:02.040 --> 17:08.040
Caitlyn went over the program that she wants to investigate.

17:08.040 --> 17:13.040
So we're trying to implement a website for location one.

17:13.040 --> 17:18.040
It pretty much doesn't be like an interactive map that they can go on on the website.

17:18.040 --> 17:21.040
And they will show any business that's for sale.

17:21.040 --> 17:24.040
Any commercial business will talk to them.

17:24.040 --> 17:27.040
They'll go through there and get information on it.

17:27.040 --> 17:33.040
We'll be approved to go forth and send out those letters in the way that she felt was necessary.

17:33.040 --> 17:41.040
Other than that, it was a lot of talking about how can we improve, how can we get money.

17:41.040 --> 17:47.040
Bob Burns is going to try and set a phone call.

17:48.040 --> 17:50.040
I forgot to write down a name.

17:50.040 --> 17:53.040
A gentleman that used to be involved in this.

17:53.040 --> 17:55.040
This is what he does as a zombie now.

17:55.040 --> 17:57.040
He goes around the house town, finds grants.

17:57.040 --> 18:00.040
He'll navigate the red tape.

18:00.040 --> 18:04.040
So I think we're going to try and take a phone call here a couple weeks with him.

18:04.040 --> 18:06.040
See what maybe he can do for us.

18:06.040 --> 18:08.040
I think he'll be at the next ED meeting.

18:08.040 --> 18:09.040
I'm sorry.

18:09.040 --> 18:10.040
Planning Commission meeting.

18:10.040 --> 18:13.040
Well, I'm sure he'll take us and call the other.

18:13.040 --> 18:14.040
What are the other?

18:14.040 --> 18:16.040
We'll be in contact with him.

18:17.040 --> 18:19.040
Tell us what he can do.

18:19.040 --> 18:20.040
Fantastic.

18:20.040 --> 18:21.040
Thank you.

18:21.040 --> 18:22.040
Terrible.

18:22.040 --> 18:23.040
Here's him home.

18:23.040 --> 18:24.040
They do good.

18:24.040 --> 18:25.040
Hades is coming up.

18:25.040 --> 18:28.040
They're going to have their famous turtle reef food.

18:28.040 --> 18:30.040
We'll get your turtles.

18:30.040 --> 18:32.040
And, yeah.

18:32.040 --> 18:37.040
They're going to have other little kitty things that they do down there all the time.

18:40.040 --> 18:44.040
I'm at with the utility board tonight for my second meeting with them.

18:45.040 --> 18:48.040
And we'll go over a few of them things.

18:48.040 --> 18:52.040
Pretty routine in nature.

18:52.040 --> 18:54.040
Talked about the substation project.

18:59.040 --> 19:01.040
Golf board.

19:01.040 --> 19:04.040
Everything's cruising along.

19:04.040 --> 19:09.040
I know they had an issue with the little pump out there, but Jacob's got that result.

19:09.040 --> 19:14.040
So, everything seems to be moving along.

19:18.040 --> 19:19.040
Let's move it up.

19:25.040 --> 19:26.040
And administrator reports.

19:26.040 --> 19:27.040
All right.

19:27.040 --> 19:32.040
In tonight's agenda packet you have the main reconciliation from the bank.

19:32.040 --> 19:35.040
You have the cash balance report.

19:36.040 --> 19:41.040
Are you going to do public works and utilities first?

19:41.040 --> 19:42.040
Oh, sure.

19:42.040 --> 19:43.040
We can't.

19:43.040 --> 19:45.040
Or is that how?

19:45.040 --> 19:47.040
That's supposed to be down next to this.

19:47.040 --> 19:49.040
It's supposed to be down next to this.

19:49.040 --> 19:50.040
No.

19:54.040 --> 19:56.040
Don't give me a dirty look.

19:56.040 --> 19:57.040
I don't know.

19:57.040 --> 20:00.040
Hang it on to your life here, man.

20:00.040 --> 20:03.040
It's supposed to be right now because you have to remain.

20:03.040 --> 20:05.040
So it's fixed now.

20:05.040 --> 20:08.040
Sarah fixed it.

20:08.040 --> 20:11.040
In your packet there is an email from the county.

20:11.040 --> 20:15.040
You're doing a bike MS ride next to it on Saturday, actually.

20:15.040 --> 20:20.040
I'm just going to come through Tom's so I've provided that map for you.

20:20.040 --> 20:28.040
We have a budget schedule that I've put together here so we can look at the different budgets during our city council meetings.

20:29.040 --> 20:36.040
And I do want to point out if you remember when George was talking to us tonight we had tomato sirens going on in the background.

20:36.040 --> 20:37.040
Remember that?

20:37.040 --> 20:47.040
He had mentioned that when we were doing our bond rating call that those were a little concerned about the reserve cash balance.

20:47.040 --> 20:54.040
So when we're doing our budgets here this year, we're going to kind of talk about that for what we're doing, our different departments.

20:54.040 --> 20:56.040
I don't know if that makes sense.

20:56.040 --> 21:03.040
It's just good to have a little more cash on hand for projects and emergencies and things like that.

21:03.040 --> 21:08.040
What else do I have here for you?

21:08.040 --> 21:18.040
We took out a six month CD six months ago for some for the street reserve and out for the storm sewer funds.

21:18.040 --> 21:20.040
They mature on June 22nd.

21:20.040 --> 21:22.040
So we're going to we're going to mature them.

21:22.040 --> 21:28.040
I just want to let you know that we got about $300 in interest in those six months.

21:28.040 --> 21:36.040
So that 9300 will go to the street and storm funds respectively on last but not least.

21:36.040 --> 21:44.040
See you in 10 days.

21:45.040 --> 21:47.040
Or not.

21:47.040 --> 21:49.040
Or not.

21:53.040 --> 21:55.040
That's all I have.

21:55.040 --> 21:58.040
And reminder we have two meetings starting next month.

21:58.040 --> 22:01.040
Yeah.

22:01.040 --> 22:06.040
Motion to accept administrator report.

22:06.040 --> 22:08.040
All in favor.

22:08.040 --> 22:12.040
All right.

22:13.040 --> 22:14.040
We're ready.

22:14.040 --> 22:16.040
Department heads.

22:16.040 --> 22:19.040
I had Joel and Andrea are here tonight.

22:19.040 --> 22:27.040
Do you have any questions for them or if they have anything we'd like to report?

22:27.040 --> 22:41.040
Mostly items I had for you guys tonight are coming up on the agenda, but I just wanted to give you a quick update on some park

22:41.040 --> 22:45.040
projects that have been taking place.

22:45.040 --> 22:50.040
The warming house, the joint warming house, we have agreed with the school to build down

22:50.040 --> 22:53.040
by the ice rink is nearing completion.

22:53.040 --> 22:58.040
A couple of high school students kind of turned that into their own project and they're going

22:58.040 --> 23:02.040
to have half of the shed and we're going to have half the shed for the warming house and

23:02.040 --> 23:04.040
that's it's coming along nicely.

23:04.040 --> 23:07.040
And we had recently also sold.

23:07.040 --> 23:13.040
We purchased the new mower this year so we sold one of our oldest mower on min bid recently

23:13.040 --> 23:15.040
and quite pleased with the results.

23:15.040 --> 23:18.040
It sold for $18,900.

23:18.040 --> 23:22.040
Now mind you that check gets sent to min bid.

23:22.040 --> 23:27.040
They take their cut out of it and they send it back so I don't think we've gotten that back yet.

23:27.040 --> 23:31.040
But quite pleased with the results of that sale.

23:31.040 --> 23:36.040
So that's really all I had for the park update and then the rest we'll kind of talk about a little bit.

23:36.040 --> 23:38.040
Any questions?

23:38.040 --> 23:43.040
I can get in the question on 2nd Street.

23:43.040 --> 23:47.040
Is that to be done this year or next year?

23:47.040 --> 23:49.040
West 2nd Street.

23:49.040 --> 23:57.040
So we have initially according to our plan it was supposed to get done next year, 2027.

23:57.040 --> 24:05.040
That being said, we are proposing to amend that plan given the water main condition on West

24:05.040 --> 24:06.040
North Street.

24:06.040 --> 24:14.040
And so in the coming I think maybe even at the next meeting we'll be presenting a plan to reconstruct

24:14.040 --> 24:20.040
West North Street next year along with a block of South Skooka.

24:20.040 --> 24:23.040
So 2nd Street is on the back burner.

24:23.040 --> 24:24.040
We'll be.

24:24.040 --> 24:28.040
2029 is the proposed date for West 2nd Street.

24:28.040 --> 24:29.040
Yep.

24:29.040 --> 24:33.040
Thank you.

24:34.040 --> 24:37.040
Anybody have anything else for Joe?

24:37.040 --> 24:39.040
Thank you, sir.

24:39.040 --> 24:43.040
Thank you, Joe.

24:43.040 --> 24:54.040
Just a kind of quick update here on the water side of things.

24:54.040 --> 25:00.040
Still working with the state on the led sewer line replacement projects.

25:00.040 --> 25:04.040
They are completing 2 agreements at their level.

25:04.040 --> 25:09.040
So once those signatures are all complete then we can give the contractor to go ahead and

25:09.040 --> 25:11.040
start on that project as of this afternoon.

25:11.040 --> 25:17.040
We received one of those agreements and so myself and Clinton and Andy will sign that.

25:17.040 --> 25:23.040
And then waiting on one more in the finance piece and so once that gets going we can finally get

25:23.040 --> 25:29.040
the contractor out in sight to replace those lines for the properties.

25:30.040 --> 25:34.040
East Run Street we're going to be talking about later on the agenda.

25:34.040 --> 25:39.040
Tonight at the utility commission we did go through our first round draft of the water

25:39.040 --> 25:42.040
budget so they did review that.

25:42.040 --> 25:48.040
And then we adopt our agenda like you guys do in December of every year so we'll be

25:48.040 --> 25:51.040
reviewing that from now until then.

25:51.040 --> 25:57.040
We did do every couple years I do do a rate study for the surrounding communities so I did

25:57.040 --> 25:59.040
that again this year.

25:59.040 --> 26:04.040
You guys will get to see that again as I'm working with the sewer budgets with Joe.

26:04.040 --> 26:09.040
So once we get to that later this year you guys will see that information too.

26:09.040 --> 26:11.040
But those are we're sitting good.

26:11.040 --> 26:15.040
We're still one of the lowest in the surrounding communities so when it comes to

26:15.040 --> 26:20.040
rate wise we're sitting good.

26:20.040 --> 26:24.040
Last item on the water we do have a project coming up in the fall.

26:24.040 --> 26:29.040
We're going to be updating our well control alarms and our well health to

26:29.040 --> 26:31.040
communicate with our water tower.

26:31.040 --> 26:38.040
Our system is currently 20 plus years old and on its last leg so it's a key component

26:38.040 --> 26:44.040
for our water utility and making sure that we provide water to our residents so that is

26:44.040 --> 26:49.040
something that is going to get completed this fall.

26:49.040 --> 26:53.040
It's kind of all I had on the water side moving on to the electric.

26:53.040 --> 26:57.040
I guess you guys are all aware of you to see all the flags throughout town.

26:57.040 --> 27:00.040
We've been pretty busy with locates all throughout town.

27:00.040 --> 27:03.040
There's four different telecommunications.

27:03.040 --> 27:12.040
You have mid-co, city, frontier and media comm that we've been dealing with day to day both.

27:12.040 --> 27:18.040
Public work side and the electric utility side and then also with just individual

27:18.040 --> 27:22.040
properties that are doing what they want to do with their property they're still

27:22.040 --> 27:23.040
calling into.

27:23.040 --> 27:30.040
We've been busy with those and then probably the biggest item as you guys can tell we

27:30.040 --> 27:36.040
started the grading project for our Southeast substation.

27:37.040 --> 27:44.040
As you could tell we completed the grading work literally the Friday before the big

27:44.040 --> 27:48.040
rainfall in the middle of May and we've been dealing with the contractor of getting them

27:48.040 --> 27:51.040
out there to install the drain tile system.

27:51.040 --> 27:56.040
Constant communications engineers and the contractor are trying to push them to get them out there

27:56.040 --> 28:00.040
to do it because they had a separate crew doing that from the dirt work.

28:00.040 --> 28:05.040
The county as well has been in contact with our engineer as we're pushing to get that

28:05.040 --> 28:06.040
completed.

28:06.040 --> 28:12.040
Per the contracts this is the remaining week that they have to get the whole project complete.

28:12.040 --> 28:15.040
So pending if none of that.

28:15.040 --> 28:19.040
I'm hoping that that gets completed this week pending weather.

28:19.040 --> 28:23.040
Otherwise we'll myself and engineers will be working with the contractor with

28:23.040 --> 28:28.040
ramifications to make sure the project gets complete as well as maintaining our storm

28:28.040 --> 28:33.040
water management plan with the MPCA.

28:34.040 --> 28:36.040
Kind of where we sit.

28:36.040 --> 28:37.040
Any questions?

28:37.040 --> 28:42.040
Does the project offer rain delays?

28:42.040 --> 28:43.040
No.

28:43.040 --> 28:47.040
They have a time window to get the project done.

28:47.040 --> 28:52.040
So upon June 15th was their deadline.

28:52.040 --> 29:02.040
Upon that we have the authority to invoice them daily if the project's not complete.

29:02.040 --> 29:04.040
Anything else for Andrew?

29:04.040 --> 29:05.040
No.

29:05.040 --> 29:06.040
Okay.

29:06.040 --> 29:07.040
Thank you.

29:07.040 --> 29:08.040
Thank you.

29:08.040 --> 29:15.040
Thank you.

29:15.040 --> 29:18.040
Staff report.

29:18.040 --> 29:19.040
Okay.

29:19.040 --> 29:21.040
In admin thanks to Joel.

29:21.040 --> 29:22.040
Thanks to Sarah Britton.

29:22.040 --> 29:27.040
They've done a lot of hard work here on organizing some improvements that are cemetery.

29:27.040 --> 29:34.040
A bolt and make has in front of you here they have a list of four tasks that they are doing

29:34.040 --> 29:40.040
or going to propose to do for the mapping, the GIS systems, things like that.

29:40.040 --> 29:45.040
So all cemetery lots would have information on our GIS.

29:45.040 --> 29:47.040
Which is quite handy.

29:47.040 --> 29:49.040
Joe do you have anything that add?

29:49.040 --> 29:52.040
I mean it's kind of self-explanatory.

29:52.040 --> 29:57.040
The memo.

29:57.040 --> 30:04.040
Yeah I mean I can, someone up pretty good long story short is our cemetery records are kind of lacking.

30:04.040 --> 30:08.040
This will improve that tremendously.

30:08.040 --> 30:16.040
I know Andrea and Sarah they've kind of always been battling with records and figuring out what's what and who's where.

30:16.040 --> 30:20.040
Luckily they have everything kind of in an Excel spreadsheet format.

30:20.040 --> 30:28.040
So that information will be able to get transferred into the bolt and make software quite easily.

30:28.040 --> 30:46.040
And one of the things on the bid proposed tonight is the field verification which I think they'll actually have someone out there taking pictures of each headstone GIS, GPS located.

30:46.040 --> 30:54.040
And then ultimately that all gets integrated into our GIS system.

30:54.040 --> 31:05.040
And then task four is another thing I think would be important to consider which is another option, the $2,600 option which would be a public facing cemetery map viewer.

31:05.040 --> 31:15.040
I've had some people contact me about an electronic format to look up grave sites, names and such and that.

31:15.040 --> 31:24.040
I think would be very beneficial to any family member looking for a particular plot.

31:24.040 --> 31:32.040
So yeah basically just significant upgrade to how we currently will do it.

31:32.040 --> 31:40.040
And then you can run the map, you can label it sold, available if the veteran status.

31:40.040 --> 31:46.040
It's very neat all the information that you can plug in to each particular plot.

31:46.040 --> 31:56.040
So this comes out of the cemetery fund.

31:56.040 --> 32:01.040
What did that first cost that we bought last year?

32:01.040 --> 32:07.040
I think that was, I remember right, $28,000 for the columnarium you're referring to.

32:07.040 --> 32:08.040
Yes.

32:08.040 --> 32:15.040
So in the cemetery fund currently it sits at like $51,000.

32:15.040 --> 32:21.040
It wasn't the complete cost of it because there's still a concrete set it on.

32:21.040 --> 32:24.040
Foundation was included in that 20.

32:24.040 --> 32:25.040
Yes.

32:25.040 --> 32:26.040
Yes.

32:26.040 --> 32:28.040
Foundation work was included.

32:28.040 --> 32:30.040
That was complete project.

32:30.040 --> 32:36.040
Mind you know landscaping around which we will probably do at some point.

32:36.040 --> 32:37.040
You know afterwards.

32:37.040 --> 32:38.040
But yep.

32:38.040 --> 32:39.040
Okay.

32:39.040 --> 32:48.040
This is trying to plan the cost of it.

32:48.040 --> 32:49.040
What's that?

32:49.040 --> 32:52.040
I was trying to see if it's in tonight's payable.

32:52.040 --> 32:53.040
It might not be.

32:53.040 --> 32:55.040
Oh no that was popular.

32:55.040 --> 32:56.040
Okay.

32:56.040 --> 32:57.040
Okay.

32:57.040 --> 33:00.040
You need action on that?

33:00.040 --> 33:01.040
Please.

33:02.040 --> 33:05.040
My motion.

33:05.040 --> 33:06.040
Yes.

33:06.040 --> 33:07.040
Go ahead.

33:07.040 --> 33:11.040
Our motion we, so we're looking for all four.

33:11.040 --> 33:12.040
Yeah.

33:12.040 --> 33:13.040
Yeah.

33:13.040 --> 33:16.040
We go with all four, uh, masks through both the mink.

33:16.040 --> 33:19.040
How's that fit then?

33:19.040 --> 33:20.040
All in favor.

33:20.040 --> 33:21.040
All right.

33:21.040 --> 33:22.040
Okay.

33:22.040 --> 33:24.040
That's four rolls.

33:24.040 --> 33:26.040
All right.

33:26.040 --> 33:33.040
All right.

33:33.040 --> 33:40.040
Next up.

33:40.040 --> 33:41.040
Yeah.

33:41.040 --> 33:47.040
The letter B here we received quite a few contributions and donations the last few months.

33:47.040 --> 33:51.040
So we have those listed and then the attached resolution will accept all those.

33:51.040 --> 34:01.040
I do want to point out that JEGA, the Golf Association did donate a little more than $3,500 staff out there, put a new range shelter.

34:01.040 --> 34:07.040
Oh, so JEGA paid for that.

34:07.040 --> 34:10.040
Any questions?

34:10.040 --> 34:16.040
Make a motion to approve the resolution in 2015.

34:16.040 --> 34:18.040
All in favor.

34:18.040 --> 34:19.040
All right.

34:19.040 --> 34:26.040
All in favor.

34:26.040 --> 34:28.040
Variance request.

34:28.040 --> 34:29.040
Yes.

34:29.040 --> 34:36.040
The Planning Commission met last week, had a public hearing to review a variance request for 204 West 1st Street.

34:36.040 --> 34:39.040
It's just across the road here from the park.

34:39.040 --> 34:41.040
Dan Marks is a president there.

34:41.040 --> 34:48.040
He and his wife been there proposing to put a smaller shed in the back corner of their house.

34:48.040 --> 34:58.040
But they need to encroach into the side yard and rear yard setbacks so that shed can appropriately fit by his cement path.

34:58.040 --> 35:08.040
And the main reason for this too is the shed is going to be located where it's at so it can be 88 compliance for the resident.

35:08.040 --> 35:12.040
There was no public comments at the public hearing.

35:12.040 --> 35:18.040
We did not get any phone calls or questions as to people coming in here asking.

35:18.040 --> 35:20.040
So there was no public comments.

35:20.040 --> 35:24.040
So the Planning Commission recommends approval of the variance.

35:24.040 --> 35:29.040
Anything else, Kyle?

35:29.040 --> 35:30.040
No.

35:30.040 --> 35:32.040
Kind of an FY.

35:32.040 --> 35:36.040
Dan had come in last year to talk to Clayton about repurchase.

35:36.040 --> 35:40.040
Some of the problem is the West to expand your driveway already.

35:40.040 --> 35:47.040
Which is why we felt this was alright because he just kind of moved his driveway over to the left to get that 4B to make it 88 compliance.

35:47.040 --> 35:50.040
He shed some use of it right there.

35:51.040 --> 35:57.040
Caitlin did a great job putting this together.

35:57.040 --> 35:58.040
I congratulated her.

35:58.040 --> 36:00.040
It's her first variance.

36:00.040 --> 36:05.040
She spoke very eloquently.

36:05.040 --> 36:10.040
Motion to approve resolution 2026-15.

36:10.040 --> 36:11.040
All in favor?

36:11.040 --> 36:12.040
Aye.

36:12.040 --> 36:13.040
4-0.

36:13.040 --> 36:18.040
Licker license renewals.

36:18.040 --> 36:24.040
That time of year, Licker license run July 1 to June 30th of each year.

36:24.040 --> 36:28.040
So we do have all the information from the bar owners.

36:28.040 --> 36:31.040
We have everything is paid up.

36:31.040 --> 36:42.040
If I could have an option for the council to accept all those Licker licenses and then they will officially get approved after the state reviews all of the material.

36:42.040 --> 36:51.040
I also want to point out that the Hay Day's committee, they are applying for a temporary Licker license for the 10th over Hay Day's weekend.

36:51.040 --> 36:56.040
So that's in here as well.

36:56.040 --> 37:01.040
Motion to approve license contingents.

37:01.040 --> 37:02.040
Second?

37:02.040 --> 37:04.040
All in favor?

37:04.040 --> 37:05.040
Aye.

37:05.040 --> 37:06.040
Aye.

37:06.040 --> 37:08.040
Who's second?

37:08.040 --> 37:11.040
I'll take it.

37:12.040 --> 37:14.040
Public safety.

37:14.040 --> 37:15.040
Okay.

37:15.040 --> 37:22.040
As we have mentioned in our last council meeting, we did receive three applications for the police chief position.

37:22.040 --> 37:26.040
A personal committee met a couple of weeks ago.

37:26.040 --> 37:34.040
A personal committee would like the city council to discuss if you would like to have an outside firm do like a search.

37:35.040 --> 37:44.040
Or if you want to, you know, if we don't do this, we would have the three other applicants that are still with us.

37:47.040 --> 37:50.040
David Drown is the first outfit here.

37:50.040 --> 37:57.040
I don't think we would have to do all of the work that they have listed because we've already done quite a bit of it.

37:57.040 --> 38:00.040
And then the other one is self-central service co-op.

38:00.040 --> 38:05.040
They're out in the North Vancouver and they would be proposing to do this as well.

38:05.040 --> 38:10.040
Self-central is less money than David Drown.

38:10.040 --> 38:13.040
So you don't talk it over.

38:13.040 --> 38:14.040
Do you want us to do this?

38:14.040 --> 38:17.040
It's going to, obviously, it's going to prolong.

38:17.040 --> 38:20.040
It's going to take longer to get the search done.

38:20.040 --> 38:24.040
Personally, I don't see the need for the city to spend the extra money.

38:24.040 --> 38:27.040
We have people here that are willing to do it or it's wide.

38:27.040 --> 38:31.040
Let's have a committee review and call it good.

38:31.040 --> 38:38.040
I think if we want to spend some money, we should maybe look at our salary.

38:38.040 --> 38:47.040
If you want somebody who's got more than 10 years experience, this pay is not going to draw that person in.

38:48.040 --> 38:51.040
I've heard from quite a few law enforcement people.

38:51.040 --> 38:55.040
Now, it's been working quite a few law enforcement people.

38:55.040 --> 39:09.040
One of the big reasons why those people did not apply is starting pay at $97,000, $108,000.

39:10.040 --> 39:36.040
We have monies that we can set aside or if we can fudge it into next year or we can fudge it somewhere,

39:36.040 --> 39:49.040
I believe we should look into making this a higher pay if that's what the committee wants to do.

39:49.040 --> 40:02.040
If they want a higher netage of more people to interview, that might be a way to do it.

40:02.040 --> 40:06.040
I don't think hiring a firm is the way to do it.

40:06.040 --> 40:11.040
If people want a job in law enforcement, they're going to look to the polls board.

40:11.040 --> 40:16.040
They're going to look to the legal men's policy.

40:16.040 --> 40:20.040
You can't make this any different than what it is.

40:20.040 --> 40:27.040
Chief police can't really make it any more shinier than it already is.

40:27.040 --> 40:31.040
It's a description of what the job is.

40:31.040 --> 40:36.040
I think the biggest hurdle here is that pay.

40:36.040 --> 40:43.040
I think the people that have applied it, the people that are going to apply.

40:43.040 --> 40:48.040
I don't think there's any more people that are going to apply to the position.

40:48.040 --> 40:55.040
I will give you my re-season before I'm wanting to hire this out.

40:55.040 --> 41:00.040
We've been running pretty much for 20 years.

41:00.040 --> 41:11.040
Well, firstly, at day and then we had an OJ who was trained under bail.

41:11.040 --> 41:18.040
I'd like to see someone new from outside the community come in.

41:18.040 --> 41:26.040
We could possibly see some different things under no leadership.

41:26.040 --> 41:39.040
I'm not saying anything with them wrong, but a different set of eyes on our safety department could be good at this time.

41:39.040 --> 41:43.040
But you're not going to drop in at $100,000.

41:43.040 --> 41:46.040
You're not going to dry in a 10-year experience.

41:46.040 --> 41:50.040
$100,000 to a small town.

41:50.040 --> 41:53.040
That's just what I've heard from law enforcement.

41:53.040 --> 41:56.040
Heard from a lot.

41:56.040 --> 42:01.040
Well, it's because I've learned that they've just been used.

42:01.040 --> 42:03.040
10-year experience?

42:03.040 --> 42:06.040
My area of expertise, what's the 10-year?

42:06.040 --> 42:09.040
$130, at least.

42:09.040 --> 42:16.040
We don't have $130,000, but something a little higher than that might draw something again.

42:16.040 --> 42:22.040
When we advertised, we went to like step three, four, and five, I think, in our base skill.

42:22.040 --> 42:35.040
If we did this again, we could maybe start at like step eight or nine, which would be eight or nine years of experience.

42:35.040 --> 42:40.040
But the whole range in there, true.

42:40.040 --> 43:00.040
I'm definitely feeling both sides of this, because when we had our meeting, if we reopened it at a higher rate, maybe we would get some more interest without having to hire it.

43:00.040 --> 43:05.040
But I don't know. I'd just like to see more interest, I guess.

43:05.040 --> 43:11.040
I just think putting it to a firm is just irresponsible with our money.

43:11.040 --> 43:22.040
I think that wouldn't be just why would you do this when you could take it and put it here into a salary.

43:22.040 --> 43:27.040
You're going to just put it all in the same place and evaluate that.

43:27.040 --> 43:36.040
Okay, we can't. If somebody from out of state isn't going to come here to work in a small town, they'll achieve it.

43:36.040 --> 43:49.040
So you have to jump through. So many groups to get certified, recalled by, to have a Minnesota license and learn all the new Minnesota statutes.

43:49.040 --> 43:54.040
Well, do we want to meet again?

43:54.040 --> 44:09.040
I guess at this point, our choice really is to meet again and discuss it some more.

44:09.040 --> 44:15.040
I would have to agree.

44:15.040 --> 44:23.040
I would like to do that soon.

44:23.040 --> 44:27.040
How soon could we meet in 11 days?

44:27.040 --> 44:31.040
Oh, that's right.

44:31.040 --> 44:35.040
You're going to get one night?

44:35.040 --> 44:36.040
Mm-hmm.

44:36.040 --> 44:37.040
What's up?

44:37.040 --> 44:39.040
I didn't know what you said.

44:39.040 --> 44:40.040
Tonight.

44:40.040 --> 44:45.040
Well, we have to announce the meeting. We can't just, you know?

44:45.040 --> 44:48.040
I have a good track.

44:48.040 --> 44:55.040
It's a nice car going back a lot to be here. I don't want to tell it real quick.

44:55.040 --> 44:56.040
So 11 days.

44:56.040 --> 44:59.040
No one wants to let you two want to meet.

44:59.040 --> 45:03.040
I mean, you're two-thirds of the personnel committee.

45:03.040 --> 45:08.040
Yeah, we're done.

45:09.040 --> 45:13.040
I don't know, sir. Do you want to maybe, if they find a date and time,

45:13.040 --> 45:18.040
can you help them with the, get the ad to the, the don'ts of the paper and stuff?

45:18.040 --> 45:21.040
Okay.

45:21.040 --> 45:25.040
This is a personnel committee that's not open to the general public.

45:25.040 --> 45:27.040
It's a regular committee meeting.

45:27.040 --> 45:29.040
So they are open to the public.

45:29.040 --> 45:30.040
Yep.

45:30.040 --> 45:31.040
Yeah.

45:31.040 --> 45:34.040
Go ahead.

45:34.040 --> 45:35.040
Yeah.

45:35.040 --> 45:37.040
We can do that too.

45:37.040 --> 45:38.040
What was that?

45:38.040 --> 45:42.040
I could always zoom in.

45:42.040 --> 45:44.040
You're the mayor. Make a decision.

45:44.040 --> 45:47.040
Well, I would like to get, I would like to get going on it.

45:47.040 --> 45:50.040
If you could zoom, would you be able to do that?

45:50.040 --> 45:51.040
Yeah.

45:51.040 --> 45:53.040
I just have to find the right time.

45:53.040 --> 45:54.040
Okay.

45:54.040 --> 45:57.040
Because I'm an hour ahead of you.

45:57.040 --> 45:59.040
Well, what would work for you?

45:59.040 --> 46:01.040
I honestly don't know until I get there.

46:01.040 --> 46:05.040
I'm sure I have a long list of things that I have to do.

46:05.040 --> 46:11.040
I get it.

46:11.040 --> 46:17.040
Well, we can talk to Sarah Jo and talk to you and see when we can make that.

46:17.040 --> 46:22.040
Possibly the week of the 15th might be easier to swallow because weddings on Sunday

46:22.040 --> 46:31.040
is so I'm sure only busy all of this week.

46:31.040 --> 46:33.040
So the 15th through the 18th.

46:33.040 --> 46:34.040
Yeah.

46:34.040 --> 46:35.040
Okay.

46:35.040 --> 46:40.040
Let's, uh, then we plan for that then.

46:40.040 --> 46:45.040
And we'll get the notice put out when we iron out a date.

46:45.040 --> 46:48.040
I can show you the notice tomorrow, Sarah Jo.

46:48.040 --> 46:49.040
Yeah.

46:49.040 --> 46:50.040
Yeah.

46:50.040 --> 46:58.040
Moving on.

46:58.040 --> 47:00.040
Public works.

47:00.040 --> 47:05.040
We've got some CIP items to discuss here.

47:05.040 --> 47:14.040
Uh, we are looking at a couple quotes tonight for our, uh, seal coating and crack filling.

47:14.040 --> 47:19.040
Turn to the right page here.

47:19.040 --> 47:22.040
Is it TV not up tonight?

47:22.040 --> 47:23.040
Uh, no.

47:23.040 --> 47:24.040
It's our subject.

47:24.040 --> 47:25.040
Uh, sorry.

47:25.040 --> 47:26.040
I brought it up.

47:26.040 --> 47:29.040
Forget I said anything.

47:29.040 --> 47:30.040
Okay.

47:30.040 --> 47:39.040
I think the first item we have for you is our chip seal map.

47:39.040 --> 47:42.040
I think it's going to go ahead in front of them.

47:42.040 --> 47:43.040
Yep.

47:43.040 --> 47:44.040
This one.

47:44.040 --> 47:45.040
Yeah.

47:45.040 --> 47:46.040
Yeah.

47:46.040 --> 47:51.040
So as usual, um, every year we try to hit a little overlays and a little chip seal.

47:51.040 --> 47:57.040
Um, this year we're going to focus our efforts on the chip seal or seal coat and everyone will call it.

47:57.040 --> 48:02.040
Um, particularly West Allen street.

48:02.040 --> 48:05.040
North East street, a little block of East girl street.

48:05.040 --> 48:12.040
Um, prairie land and prairie court as well as Lakeview park.

48:12.040 --> 48:14.040
Um, all the roads out there.

48:14.040 --> 48:17.040
I'd, I'd have never been touched since they've been put in.

48:17.040 --> 48:22.040
So it'd be nice to get a little sunscreen on them and try to preserve them as long as we can.

48:22.040 --> 48:26.040
Um, bids came in at.

48:26.040 --> 48:31.040
WW blacktop, 53,781.

48:31.040 --> 48:39.040
And Pearson brothers came in at 55,838,088 cents.

48:39.040 --> 48:43.040
Um, so WW is the low bid.

48:43.040 --> 48:49.040
Um, is any questions on the chip seal portion of the CIP work this year?

48:49.040 --> 48:53.040
So do you guys come in and do the patching before they...

48:53.040 --> 48:55.040
Typically that's what we do.

48:55.040 --> 48:56.040
Okay.

48:56.040 --> 48:57.040
Yep.

48:57.040 --> 48:58.040
Cause I know all the lake.

48:58.040 --> 48:59.040
Yep.

48:59.040 --> 49:00.040
There's a couple.

49:00.040 --> 49:04.040
Yeah, there's a couple do's right down there at the end as you go in and then further towards the landing.

49:04.040 --> 49:05.040
There's another hole.

49:05.040 --> 49:09.040
Um, yeah, typically we go and patch before they show up.

49:09.040 --> 49:10.040
Sure.

49:10.040 --> 49:11.040
Yep.

49:11.040 --> 49:13.040
Sounds good.

49:13.040 --> 49:22.040
Um, motion we accept WW's bid for the seal coating portion of the CIP.

49:22.040 --> 49:24.040
I will second that.

49:24.040 --> 49:25.040
Favorite?

49:25.040 --> 49:26.040
Hi.

49:26.040 --> 49:27.040
Thanks.

49:27.040 --> 49:30.040
Next up our overlay schedule.

49:30.040 --> 49:34.040
Um, our edge milling overlay schedule, just a brief explanation.

49:34.040 --> 49:36.040
Uh, it's not like tearing up the whole road.

49:36.040 --> 49:40.040
We bring the mill in and we edge down two inches right along the gutter.

49:40.040 --> 49:43.040
Um, and then it's two inch overlay over the whole surface.

49:43.040 --> 49:48.040
Um, this year we are looking at Savannah Lane.

49:49.040 --> 49:54.040
Warren Street, Nelson Street, Nelson Court.

49:54.040 --> 49:58.040
Um, business alley, I call it the east business alley.

49:58.040 --> 50:02.040
Um, on the other side of the bed, back side of the businesses.

50:02.040 --> 50:06.040
As well as a portion of West Street kind of that goes underneath the trestle.

50:06.040 --> 50:09.040
Um, that is city, city road as well.

50:09.040 --> 50:11.040
And it's kind of deteriorating.

50:11.040 --> 50:17.040
So we're looking to get that built back up for a long, it's life a little bit.

50:18.040 --> 50:27.040
Um, overall the bids, WW once again is at 134, 080 and then Nielsen Blacktop came in

50:27.040 --> 50:30.040
at 139, 90750.

50:30.040 --> 50:36.040
Um, any questions on the overlay schedule?

50:36.040 --> 50:42.040
The one tricky thing with this, I will, I want to state is the business alley.

50:42.040 --> 50:46.040
Um, we are proposing as well tonight in a little bit here.

50:46.040 --> 50:52.040
To do East Front Street, kind of a semi total reconstruct.

50:52.040 --> 50:59.040
Um, so I might, we might hit the pause on the alley, just depends on timing.

50:59.040 --> 51:03.040
I don't want to shut down the alley as well as have Front Street shut down.

51:03.040 --> 51:07.040
That would be just too much of a hindrance to businesses and residents.

51:07.040 --> 51:15.040
Um, but I would like to propose to move forward as planned, knowing that that possibly might

51:16.040 --> 51:17.040
happen.

51:17.040 --> 51:22.040
Some of our contractors are still digging in that East Alley also.

51:22.040 --> 51:23.040
That's the other thing.

51:23.040 --> 51:28.040
The cable companies are still in there and I'd, I want to wait for them to be, be sure that

51:28.040 --> 51:29.040
they're done.

51:29.040 --> 51:33.040
Um, they'll never be done, but at least this year.

51:33.040 --> 51:35.040
Um, correct.

51:36.040 --> 51:49.040
Will the, uh, the generator is going to be hooked up to the new trans, or, uh, transformer

51:49.040 --> 51:50.040
outside of town.

51:50.040 --> 51:51.040
Correct.

51:51.040 --> 51:53.040
Eventually there'll be gen sets off there.

51:53.040 --> 51:54.040
Yes.

51:54.040 --> 51:55.040
That would be more of a killer.

51:55.040 --> 51:56.040
Tilly question.

51:56.040 --> 51:58.040
Uh, underground, I would assume.

51:58.040 --> 51:59.040
Okay.

51:59.040 --> 52:00.040
Okay.

52:00.040 --> 52:01.040
Okay.

52:01.040 --> 52:02.040
Okay.

52:02.040 --> 52:19.040
Time motion that we go with, uh, W again for the overlay portion.

52:19.040 --> 52:20.040
Okay.

52:20.040 --> 52:21.040
All in favor.

52:21.040 --> 52:22.040
All right.

52:22.040 --> 52:23.040
All right.

52:23.040 --> 52:24.040
Okay.

52:24.040 --> 52:32.040
One more to go.

52:32.040 --> 52:39.040
Yes.

52:39.040 --> 52:48.040
Um, last year you recall the county, um, eight East Front Street to the city, making the city

52:48.040 --> 52:49.040
of the county road.

52:49.040 --> 52:52.040
Uh, the county gave us $150,000 for that.

52:52.040 --> 52:56.040
So we could use that money to help make road improvements.

52:56.040 --> 52:58.040
So we have a couple of bids here tonight.

52:58.040 --> 53:01.040
I'm going to ask for a couple of different motions.

53:01.040 --> 53:09.040
The first motion, I would ask that you pay for the road improvements with that, that county

53:09.040 --> 53:14.040
money as well as some, you know, reserves if we need it.

53:14.040 --> 53:20.040
And then the second motion will be to have the utility funds pay for the utility work.

53:20.040 --> 53:25.040
That will be done along that road.

53:25.040 --> 53:26.040
Does that make sense?

53:26.040 --> 53:27.040
Okay.

53:27.040 --> 53:29.040
So we're going to use a, we're going to use 150.

53:29.040 --> 53:32.040
That was earmarked for repairs.

53:32.040 --> 53:33.040
Yep.

53:33.040 --> 53:34.040
Okay.

53:34.040 --> 53:38.040
And then any CW said 108.

53:39.040 --> 53:43.040
I would recommend that we, you know, whatever overage, you know, it's 108.

53:43.040 --> 53:49.040
We got 150 keep, keep a little on retainage kind of as a contingency just in case, you

53:49.040 --> 53:51.040
know, you're keeping eye on it for a year.

53:51.040 --> 53:54.040
And if something changes, something happens, we can kind of use that.

53:54.040 --> 53:56.040
Uh, those funds for that.

53:56.040 --> 54:00.040
And then if that does not happen, then I think that the remainder can come.

54:00.040 --> 54:05.040
Split it between water and, and the storm.

54:05.040 --> 54:10.040
But yeah, just kind of brief overview of the project.

54:10.040 --> 54:13.040
As Clinton said, the county gave us that street back.

54:13.040 --> 54:18.040
Um, virtually no storm sewer in place.

54:18.040 --> 54:22.040
There's a very small one not able to handle the volume of water that comes from basically

54:22.040 --> 54:24.040
the chiropractor down and around.

54:25.040 --> 54:31.040
Um, so we'll be adding a 12 inch storm line basically from two street all the way up to

54:31.040 --> 54:36.040
the west side of the alley to try and catch that water, get subsurface and get it out

54:36.040 --> 54:37.040
of there.

54:37.040 --> 54:42.040
Um, as well as a couple, dropping in a couple catch basins along the way, um, for the

54:42.040 --> 54:43.040
storm.

54:43.040 --> 54:51.040
Um, the, there are a couple properties interested in having a sanitary sewer stub into their

54:51.040 --> 54:53.040
property as well.

54:53.040 --> 54:56.040
Um, of course that will be their burden to pay.

54:56.040 --> 55:00.040
Um, as well as the water service line aspect of it.

55:00.040 --> 55:05.040
Did you want to come talk about that?

55:05.040 --> 55:15.040
So part of the project there are existing currently five, um, water, water stubs along

55:15.040 --> 55:16.040
there.

55:17.040 --> 55:22.040
Um, straight across from the water tower location there where the residence homes and

55:22.040 --> 55:23.040
there's one business.

55:23.040 --> 55:28.040
Um, like Joe said, there's a couple interested in adding, um, water and sewer.

55:28.040 --> 55:30.040
Um, that would be at their own cost.

55:30.040 --> 55:36.040
But with the water, the water main existing, um, that they are connected to is a four inch

55:36.040 --> 55:38.040
main on the north side of the road.

55:38.040 --> 55:43.040
Um, so we're looking to abandon that four inch main and they will be connected to the 12 inch

55:43.040 --> 55:47.040
main, which is currently already installed on the south side of the property.

55:47.040 --> 55:54.040
The service line is, um, private, that is the homeowners expense in a part of, uh, the

55:54.040 --> 55:56.040
WW one there.

55:56.040 --> 56:02.040
Each property is roughly $2,700 for that extension of that service line to the 12 inch.

56:02.040 --> 56:08.040
Um, so upon approval, if this gets moved forward, then we'll be in contact with each, with each

56:08.040 --> 56:11.040
property owner, um, to discuss those costs.

56:11.040 --> 56:16.040
If they can afford to pay that upfront, otherwise we will do consent agreements with them.

56:16.040 --> 56:21.040
So over, depending on what the term that we agree on between three to five years, pay

56:21.040 --> 56:22.040
back.

56:22.040 --> 56:29.040
It would go on their tax date on their tax roll.

56:29.040 --> 56:32.040
One other thing I wanted to touch base on the street side of it.

56:32.040 --> 56:36.040
Um, we were adding, you probably read it, but we're going to be adding quite a bit of

56:36.040 --> 56:40.040
curb and gutter along there, replacing some drive over curb and gutter.

56:40.040 --> 56:42.040
Um, and we'll be reclaiming.

56:42.040 --> 56:44.040
We won't be tearing up the whole road.

56:44.040 --> 56:47.040
We will be a little bit to put a new storm sewer and do the water work.

56:47.040 --> 56:53.040
Um, but we'll be a full reclaim, basically come in, grind up the top, mix it in with some of

56:53.040 --> 56:57.040
the base, grade it, and that's, and then pave it to lifts over that.

56:57.040 --> 57:01.040
So that would be the, the work scope, um, for the surface.

57:01.040 --> 57:06.040
So.

57:06.040 --> 57:12.040
Any other questions?

57:12.040 --> 57:13.040
Hi, motion.

57:13.040 --> 57:20.040
We again go with www for the East Front Street repairs.

57:20.040 --> 57:23.040
And the road improvements will come from.

57:23.040 --> 57:30.040
And the road improvements will come from the 150 from the county and, um, the utilities.

57:30.040 --> 57:34.040
The water portion will be paid for by a GPU.

57:34.040 --> 57:36.040
Andrew is paying for it.

57:36.040 --> 57:38.040
Andrew is paying for it.

57:38.040 --> 57:39.040
Correct.

57:39.040 --> 57:41.040
All in favor?

57:41.040 --> 57:43.040
Thank you.
