Good evening, mayor and council and

56
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520
community. I am Deputy RS with the Red

57
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,640
County Sheriff's Office. A lot of you

58
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,320
guys probably haven't met me yet. Been

59
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,000
with Sheriff's Office since about June

60
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,719
of last year. So, been down in Montro's

61
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:08,319
Waverly since the beginning of this

62
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:12,720
year. So, um just in Montro alone this

63
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,200
month, we have had 99 calls for service,

64
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,440
55 cases, and two PC arrest this week.

65
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,879
Um, in January we had 254 calls for

service. Uh, 133 cases and five PC

67
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:29,680
arrests. Um, just comparing a little

68
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160
bit, we have had 100 more calls for

69
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,480
service than Maple Lake, 50 more than

70
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,599
Clearwater, and about 30 to 40 more than

71
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,920
Anaddale, and 100 more than CO. Just to

72
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,120
show a little bit of comparison to

73
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
surrounding communities. Do you guys

74
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,229

75
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:49,920

00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,520
>> Miss Otto

189
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:07,840
>> I.

190
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:08,639
>> M. Paradise.

191
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:08,880
>> I.

192
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,680
>> Mr. Nelson.

193
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,000
>> I.

194
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,120
>> Mr. Bontoma.

195

>> I.

196
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:20,309
>> I'll vote I. Passes 5.

197
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,199
Nothing for park and wreck. Nothing for

198
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:26,000
city engineer.

199
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,479
All right. Public works. Danny, what you

200
00:07:28,479 --> 00:07:28,720
got?

201
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,039
>> Air and council. Uh on page 59. Um we'll

202
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:36,880
start off um the CIP plan that we

203
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,560
uh talked about before. We have some

204
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,400
equipment on there that we are trading

205
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280
in and rolling out. Um first thing is

206
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,360
the Bobcat.

207
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,120
um with the quote you have in front of

208
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,800
you again, page 59, just trading in our

209
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,680
2015 Bobcat to upgrade. Um looking to

210
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,639
get approval for that and it did come in

211
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,270
under budget.

212
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:09,510
Any questions you got?

213
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:17,189
Any questions for Danny on the Bobcat?

214
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:18,800
We're budgeted for that. Correct.

215
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,120
>> Yeah,

216
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,720
>> correct. They were provided in the CIP

217
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,000
plan, the four budget.

218
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,120
>> Good job, company under budget.

219
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,759
>> Say I don't see a import tax or anything

220
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,990
like that on this one. So,

221
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,519
» that's nice.

222
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:36,719
>> And you could see on there, they're

223
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:40,479
giving us a trade in on our old one. So,

224
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:43,039
um, with that being said, we traded in

225
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,839
every 5 years prior, and this has been

226
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:49,040
10 now. So, um, we're going to keep

227
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,399
these equipments on a rolling trade out

228
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,240
to try to get some money for them before

229
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
they're worth nothing. So,

230
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,670
um, this is just the start of it. So,

231
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:09,269
looking for that approval.

232
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,440
» I'll make a motion to approve the Bobcat

233
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,680
purchase of 42,500.

234
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,920
>> I'll second. Any further discussion?

235
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,200
>> All right. Mr. Rontoma,

236
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,080
>> I'll vote I.

237
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,040
>> Miss Otto,

238
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:21,360
>> I.

239
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,080
>> Miss Paradise.

240
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:22,399
>> I.

241
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:23,279
>> Miss Nelson.

242
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:23,600
>> I.

243
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,040
>> I'll vote I. This is 5.

244
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,200
>> Uh, thank you, Mayor Councel. Um on page

245
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,839
61 now and included in your packet is

246
00:09:35,839 --> 00:09:38,399
the two John Deere zero turns we are

247
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:44,800
trading out um for two um

248
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,920
Toro zero turns and again they are

249
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,160
giving us a tradein value of 14,000

250
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,440
um but there's still a cost upfront.

251
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Um, we're looking to probably keep these

252
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,800
for 5 years and trade them out again.

253
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,640
So, I'm looking to get approval again

254
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,680
that came in under budget um for the

255
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,550
30,560.

256
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,040
» Danny, did they I see price and I see

257
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,800
net. There's about a $5,000 difference.

258
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,399
Do they give a discount or something for

259
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,320
us?

260
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200
Yeah, I mean the state bid,

261
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,800
>> you know, we taxes

262
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,800
>> they give us state bid prices.

263
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,320
>> Okay.

264
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,920
>> I just wanted to make sure that it was

265
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
the 58 and not like 69 or 70,

266
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,829
>> right?

267
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:37,519
» And that's the same with the Bobcat. We

268
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:39,760
try to stay I mean we pretty much do

269
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,949
stay with dealers that are state bid.

270
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:46,959
Um, I'll make a motion to approve the

271
00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:49,360
purchase from Eminem Express in the

272
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,720
amount of 30,560.

273
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,399
>> I'll second.

274
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:56,959
>> Any further discussion?

275
00:10:56,959 --> 00:10:58,079
Miss Paradise.

276
00:10:58,079 --> 00:10:58,320
>> I,

277
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,519
>> Mr. Vontoma.

278
00:10:59,519 --> 00:10:59,839
>> I,

279
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:00,640
>> Miss Otto,

280
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:00,959
>> I.

281
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:01,760
>> Mr. Nelson,

282
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,000
>> I.

283
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,880
>> I'll vote I. Passes 50.

284
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,480
>> Thank you, Mayor Council. Moving on to

285
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,440
number two. Um members of the VFW have

286
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,720
came to the city wondering um get

287
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,440
council approval to mow the VFW mow and

288
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,600
trim. Um their members are getting

289
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,839
older. Um Billy Babetts now is the

290
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:22,640
volunteer mower there. Wondering if

291
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,839
public works could mow that um for them

292
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:29,670
from this point out.

293
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,079
» How much time you think that would add?

294
00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:36,079
depending upon

295
00:11:36,079 --> 00:11:39,120
mowing and you know season wet season

296
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,600
it'll grow fast. I'd say hour mowing

297
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,600
half hour weed whipping every

298
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,240
>> time in that area. So it's not like

299
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,600
you're traveling over there just for

300
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,880
that or is there nothing?

301
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,560
>> We're already in the area for other

302
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:51,600
things we mow.

303
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,240
>> Okay.

304
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720
>> So um

305
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,920
I don't see it being an issue, but it is

306
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,240
a private lot. It's not city-owned yet.

307
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,000
I know they were talking about possibly

308
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,440
donating it in the future, but

309
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,760
um

310
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,440
>> I can't just say yes without council

311
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:15,910
approval.

312
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,670
» Any thoughts, council?

313
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:24,000
» If somebody gets hurt, who's that go on?

314
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,680
>> Uh well, you'd have to talk to our

315
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,320
insurance company on that and see what

316
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,480
happens. Um, I am not going to allow

317
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,320
summer help to mow that. That is a

318
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,560
pretty steep bank. Um, public works will

319
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,200
strictly be mowing that. As far as weed

320
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,079
whip and summer help can do that, but

321
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:42,480
>> um, I guess we could call an ass. I

322
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360
never really thought about that

323
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,360
if we're have like an umbrella coverage.

324
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,310
Uh, me and Jackie can look into that.

325
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,560
It's a

326
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,480
>> good question. That's what I was going

327
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,639
to ask.

328
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,389
I mean,

329
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,200
I I think we should maybe table it till

330
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,560
next month. I mean, we have a few months

331
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,800
till grass is going to start growing to

332
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,800
maybe get that insurance answer before

333
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,200
we

334
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,079
>> Could we make a motion per approval

335
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:18,389
through insurance and attorneys?

336
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,079
Then I'll I'll make a motion to approve

337
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:25,920
mowing and weed whipping the VFW per uh

338
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,440
approval through insurance and

339
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,360
attorneys.

340
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,880
>> I'll second.

341
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,600
>> Any further discussion?

342
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,560
>> Mr. Nelson.

343
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:34,800
>> I.

344
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,519
>> Mr. Paradise.

345
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:35,839
>> Hi.

346
00:13:35,839 --> 00:13:36,959
>> Mr. Bontoma.

347
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:37,440
>> Hi.

348
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,160
>> Otto.

349
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,480
>> I.

350
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,680
will vote I. Passes 5.

351
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:43,600
>> Moving on. Mayor and council number

352
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,079
three is the BNSF railroad improvements

353
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:48,399
at Clementa. I was contacted about a

354
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,399
month ago from BNSF stating that um they

355
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,880
are going to upgrade the crossing and

356
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,959
the city is liable for 50% of that.

357
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:01,519
Um Jackie, what were those numbers right

358
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:02,399
off hand?

359
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,320
>> So, yep. I continued a conversation

360
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,160
after Dan and so this is the railroad

361
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,600
crossing um at uh Clementa and the

362
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,880
track. Um, currently it's not scheduled

363
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040
work. It's not scheduled to happen yet.

364
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,639
We won't know that until probably April

365
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:20,399
or May when it will happen. Um, half of

366
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:23,440
it is roughly 48,000 that we are on the

367
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,000
hook for. So, this was not budgeted, not

368
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,360
planned. Um,

369
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,959
>> after talking with the engineers, they

370
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:33,920
are recommending that we

371
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,240
move forward and allow well obviously we

372
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,079
have to allow it let it happen instead

373
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:41,920
of um having it be done when Clementa is

374
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,600
done next year

375
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,959
>> um just due to the way the work is done

376
00:14:46,959 --> 00:14:50,240
in the order um public works will have

377
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,079
to provide traffic control. It's about a

378
00:14:52,079 --> 00:14:54,800
3-day project. The road will be closed

379
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,519
for 3 days. Um, we do have to find an

380
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:00,800
asphalt contractor to finish up the job.

381
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Um, and that's about all the details

382
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,279
we've been given at this point. They

383
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:06,800
couldn't provide anything further for us

384
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,480
until it actually gets scheduled.

385
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,639
>> They said here you have to pay 50%

386
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:11,279
figure it out.

387
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:12,399
>> We don't have a choice.

388
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:13,440
>> Fantastic.

389
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,880
>> How does that affect the project for

390
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,839
next year then?

391
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:17,040
>> Yeah.

392
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,959
>> So, they've asked us to basically um

393
00:15:20,959 --> 00:15:23,600
have the railroad grind. Am I saying

394
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,040
this correctly? um do the work past

395
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880
their property line and onto Clementa.

396
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,880
So that am I wording this?

397
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,959
>> So we could tie into when Clement was

398
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:35,680
redone.

399
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,519
>> So yes, exactly. So when the Clementa

400
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:41,760
Avenue project occurs, then we simply

401
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,839
tie into where they left off

402
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:45,440
>> and we don't have to get a railroad

403
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,519
permit to be in there right away. Um

404
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:49,279
flaggers for being in there right away,

405
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:51,440
all that sort of stuff. So it' be more

406
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,509
efficient for the city's project.

407
00:15:55,519 --> 00:15:58,639
cheaper, right?

408
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:00,160
>> Not cheaper.

409
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,079
>> No,

410
00:16:02,079 --> 00:16:03,600
>> I I did

411
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,800
>> I did kindly ask BNSF to give us a more

412
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,519
than a sixmon heads up next time.

413
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:10,639
>> Yeah, that's

414
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:13,279
>> um but they're like

415
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,720
>> they really didn't care what I had to

416
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680
say. It's they you know we it's our

417
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,839
crossing now, right? Half of it's ours,

418
00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:24,160
half it's BNSF. So, um,

419
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,680
you know, so we could budget for it. So,

420
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,680
I say from moving on forward, I, you

421
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,959
know, I'm going to ask them like, "How

422
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:31,199
many years do you redo these?" And we'll

423
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,839
budget for it accordingly. But this was

424
00:16:33,839 --> 00:16:36,560
out of left field. So,

425
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,399
>> and then public works is responsible for

426
00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:39,360
traffic control.

427
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,320
>> Yeah.

428
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:40,720
>> Awesome.

429
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,160
>> And we have charge for that.

430
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,759
>> We'll just shut the roads down and send

431
00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:45,360
out notifications to the people that

432
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,360
it's going to affect as soon as we get a

433
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,079
date.

434
00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:49,360
>> Yep. We'll just have to put up

435
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,759
barricades to block the road.

436
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,360
>> I mean, hopefully they give us a heads

437
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,360
up longer than a week out when they're

438
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,120
going to come to do it.

439
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,880
>> So,

440
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,800
>> I mean, the citizens will know as soon

441
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,920
as we know.

442
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,839
>> Yeah, we were told that they would a

443
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:06,000
decision should be made around April

444
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,880
that they would have um a start date.

445
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,959
>> Okay.

446
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:15,760
So looking forward to we have to provide

447
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,640
our own asphalt company.

448
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,839
>> Yeah, that that when they give us a

449
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,039
heads up, I'm going to have to start

450
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,360
calling around. Right. I mean, we don't

451
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:26,799
have asphalt,

452
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:27,199
>> right?

453
00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:28,799
>> We're not that big of a town. We don't

454
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:31,919
do it ourselves. So,

455
00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:33,760
and hopefully we can get one lined up at

456
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,280
the same time. Otherwise, the road's

457
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,799
going to be closed down longer than 3

458
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:37,679
days.

459
00:17:37,679 --> 00:17:40,080
>> That's a big concern. The earlier the

460
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,190
heads up, the better for us.

461
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,240
» It's giving me a headache.

462
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,760
>> Yeah. I don't want to hear in April that

463
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,280
they're doing it in May.

464
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,070
>> Yeah. Or we'll be out there next week.

465
00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:00,950
» Um, as far as funding goes.

466
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,760
» Mhm.

467
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,559
Um, we have planned for some additional

468
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,679
and over in our streets. So, that's part

469
00:18:09,679 --> 00:18:13,760
of that kind of overplanning. Um, so I'm

470
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,520
We'll be fine.

471
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840
>> I knew we would. I just want to make

472
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:23,830
sure.

473
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,080
» So, we looking for a a motion.

474
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,799
>> Just information.

475
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,520
Okay.

476
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,200
>> I'm assuming we'll get a more solid

477
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,280
number when it comes, but

478
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,720
>> just another thing to keep up with what

479
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,880
they said.

480
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,400
Um, any more questions on that?

481
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,120
>> Not right now.

482
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,360
>> Um, and then number four, I don't really

483
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:48,799
have any updates for you. Um, if you got

484
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:50,799
questions for public works, I'll answer

485
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:53,919
those now.

486
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:55,440
>> Any questions for Danny?

487
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,440
>> No.

488
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Danny, I think you're good. Thank

489
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,760
you.

490
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760
All right. Uh, let's see. You got no old

491
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,919
business. Moving on to new business, uh,

492
00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:11,110
Reich County Snowmobile Agreement.

493
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,799
» U, I'm Kurt Ritter with the Delo

494
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:15,919
Snowmobile Club and on behalf of Wright

495
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:17,840
County Snowmobile Association, we've had

496
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,360
a landowner agreement with you guys in

497
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,640
the past. We're just trying to update

498
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,960
our records and and include it. There

499
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,200
really isn't all what it does that gives

500
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,919
us access to the road ditches and the

501
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:31,840
rideways. There really isn't much in

502
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,039
there. I think I don't know if the map

503
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:35,840
is attached or not, but

504
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,640
>> um it it kind of comes up to Casey's and

505
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,520
that's pretty much it for right now. I

506
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,880
know we've worked in the past to trying

507
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,679
to get something through town and it's always in the works and that's

508
00:19:45,679 --> 00:19:46,880
something that we would come to you guys

509
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:55,029
with if something were to change.

510
00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:56,799
» So, what was included is just basically

511
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:59,919
an updated agreement.

512
00:19:59,919 --> 00:20:03,669
Council,

513
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:11,190
any questions?

514
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,080
» Looks pretty straightforward to me.

515
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:22,470
>> I'll be looking for a motion.

516
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,160
» I'll make a motion to approve the Ray

517
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,840
County Snowmobile Association permit

518
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,960
agreement.

519
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,039
>> I will second. Any further discussion?

520
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:32,240
Mr. Paradise. Hi,

521
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,600
>> Mr. Bontoma. Hi,

522
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:34,559
>> Miss Otto. Hi,

523
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:35,679
>> Mr. Nelson. Hi.

524
00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:38,000
>> I will vote. I passes 50.

525
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,480
>> Thank you.

526
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,000
You just want to send it out

527
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,559
then?

528
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:41,039
>> Yes, I will.

529
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:42,159
>> All right. Thank you very much.

530
00:20:42,159 --> 00:20:43,520
>> Thank you.

531
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:43,919
>> All right.

532
00:20:43,919 --> 00:20:47,280
>> Montro Ambassadors, I saw you in here

533
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:54,870
somewhere. There you are.

534
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,200
Hello, my name is Jaden Dolick and I am

535
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320
the 2025 2026 Mantros ambassador. I want

536
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,000
to share a little bit about my year so

537
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,679
far and what it means to represent our

538
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:05,919
community. As an ambassador, my role is

539
00:21:05,919 --> 00:21:08,080
to serve as a positive representative of

540
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,400
Mantros, especially for youth, and to

541
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,080
help support the community and other

542
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,799
groups in our community. Over the first

543
00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:16,880
half of my year, I've had the chance to

544
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,799
be part of some really meaningful and

545
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,520
fun experiences that have helped me grow

546
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,400
personally while also giving back to the

547
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,799
community that I'm proud to call home.

548
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,960
One of my favorite events to participate

549
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,280
in are the parades and coronations. The

550
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Anoka parade as well as the holiday

551
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,440
parades like Winstead, Cambridge, and

552
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Montgomery were so fun. Cold, but a

553
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,600
great time. Meeting the other girls from

554
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,039
other communities and representing

555
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:43,679
mantras have has been a great experience

556
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:46,400
for me. Anyone that knows me knows that

557
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,720
this has taken me beyond my comfort zone

558
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,240
and I'm really learning new important

559
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,520
skills like public speaking and

560
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,520
introducing myself to new people.

561
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,679
Another highlight for me has been

562
00:21:55,679 --> 00:21:58,400
joining in at community events like

563
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,480
breakfast with Santa with celebrate

564
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,640
mantras and community meals with Grace

565
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,200
Place. Being able to support these

566
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,200
events has helped me better understand

567
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,440
needs within our community and how

568
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,520
important it is for young people to stay

569
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,840
involved and give back. Looking forward,

570
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,520
I'm really excited for the warmer

571
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,280
parades. I'm looking forward to

572
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,200
continuing to represent Montro's meeting more community members and

573
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,760
helping support events that bring people

574
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,679
together. These opportunities not only

575
00:22:25,679 --> 00:22:28,799
strengthen the city's sense of

576
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,559
community, but they also help

577
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,480
ambassadors like me develop leadership

578
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,960
skills and confidence. Overall, being an

579
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,559
ambassador has already taught me so

580
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:38,240
much, even though the majority of my

581
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,480
experiences in Crown are still ahead of

582
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,440
me, I admit I still have some work to do

583
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,360
and I'm ready to continue to work. Thank

584
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:46,799
you for your support as a city,

585
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,039
borrowing the city trucks and giving us

586
00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:50,960
a place to store our float, which

587
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,480
recently got a makeover that we're

588
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
excited to show off at upcoming parades.

589
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,919
My community family and I are grateful.

590
00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,520
Thank you for your time tonight and for

591
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,440
continuing to support programs that

592
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,200
encourage youth involvement and

593
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,840
community involvement.

594
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:14,390
>> Thank you, J. Thank you, J.

595
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,880
All right, I have a request for council

596
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,440
action for the rental ordinance

597
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,919
discussion. So, we got uh Jonathan

598
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:24,559
Danielson, Ross Danielson,

599
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,240
Sue, I'm sorry, I'm probably going to

600
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,120
botch your last name, Bonic, Becky

601
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:30,480
Yarns,

602
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,919
>> and then I've also got a couple open

603
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:33,520
form requests talking about the same

604
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,039
thing if you guys just kind of all want

605
00:23:35,039 --> 00:23:37,919
to be one.

606
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:39,600
>> All right, you okay with that?

607
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,159
>> Yes. Come on down. Just state your name

608
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:47,750
and your address for me, please.

609
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,080
» Good evening. I'm Jonathan Danielson. Uh

610
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,840
409510th Street Northeast in Buffalo. Um

611
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
I own JR Real Estate for those who don't

612
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,159
know me. Um I don't recognize a lot of

613
00:23:58,159 --> 00:24:00,640
new faces on the board here. New mirror.

614
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000
Um I'm not here to really scream or yell

615
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,320
or cuss or anything like that. I just

616
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,280
have some questions and uh just kind of

617
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,200
more or less it would have been nice to

618
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,720
have a discussion with you or a workshop

619
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,360
with you on this um rental ordinance. I

620
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,760
get why you want to do it as far as you

621
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,760
know making sure the rentals are safe

622
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,840
and I I agree rentals should be safe and

623
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,120
I know some landlords don't do that but

624
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,200
I like to pride myself as I'm not one of

625
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,360
them. I've had a lot of tenants for many

626
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,360
years stay with me six, seven, eight

627
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,559
years. Um, and I I try really hard not

628
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:38,640
to raise rent because, as you know,

629
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,840
everything else is going up, but um, I

630
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,200
just have a couple key points I'd like

631
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,720
to discuss. I know there's a lot of

632
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,400
other people that would like to talk, so

633
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,640
I'll make it brief. Um, but in the past,

634
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,480
I've I sell real estate, too, so I've

635
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,760
worked with the city in the past on

636
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,520
stuff, and it's been really easy to work

637
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,760
with, communicate, everything was great.

638
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,679
However, I don't feel like that in this

639
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:01,360
case. this is kind of just kind of

640
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:03,279
shoved down our throats without talking

641
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,000
to us and you know it affects us and you

642
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,960
know I know some people think 125 bucks

643
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,440
or 180 bucks or whatever the fee is

644
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,880
isn't that much but when you're trying

645
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,080
to keep rent down and taxes insurance

646
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,480
has everything is going up and we're

647
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,520
doing our best to keep it down um it's

648
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,600
just another expense onto us and on top

649
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,440
of it you know if something happens I

650
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,000
know I've heard a couple that you know

651
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,760
state law doesn't require you know of a

652
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,840
GFI buy is not in a bathroom if it's

653
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,559
grandfathered in, but the inspectors are

654
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,440
now requiring that. Well, it's kind of

655
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600
more expenses on us, you know, and it's

656
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760
not anything that's dangerous, you know.

657
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,440
I see if something's dangerous.

658
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,400
Absolutely. But as I hope I take care of

659
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
my my units, so it shouldn't be

660
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,039
anything. Um,

661
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:52,880
but I'd like I guess my whole point is I

662
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,520
just wish this would have it came to us,

663
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,880
talked to us. Um, I use the example is

664
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,360
like Um, city of Buffalo sent out a um,

665
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,760
notification about stuff and we could

666
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,039
have workshopped it with you. City of

667
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:09,039
Maple Lake did the same thing. You know,

668
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:11,120
they heard us out, talked with us.

669
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:13,279
Ultimately, they decided not to pass it,

670
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:15,039
but that wasn't quite my point. My point

671
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:17,200
was is they wanted to talk to us and our

672
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,520
concerns and our, you know, what can we

673
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,320
do together to make it work. Um, there's

674
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,720
a lot of us that never got informed. The

675
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,960
only reason I found out, um, was through

676
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,679
my dad and through Sue. Um, nothing was

677
00:26:29,679 --> 00:26:32,080
sent to me until after I reached out to

678
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,080
the city. I know there's a few landlords

679
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,159
back here that haven't got anything yet.

680
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:38,480
Um, and I know Christy had said that she

681
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,159
mailed stuff out and you know how mail

682
00:26:40,159 --> 00:26:41,840
is these days, you know,

683
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,880
>> but I had no idea that the dues were due

684
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,039
on February 1st or the inspection was

685
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:48,960
due on the March. Wasn't until I called

686
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,159
the city to get that information, which,

687
00:26:52,159 --> 00:26:53,440
you know, that's where I wish the

688
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,559
communication would have been a little

689
00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:56,400
bit better. we could have workshopped it

690
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,720
versus having a bunch of angry people.

691
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,640
And like I said, I'm not here to yell. I

692
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,799
just wanted to talk, kind of give you my

693
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:04,960
two cents. And I understand that there's

694
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,559
some rental properties that are not

695
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,320
included in this, such as the mobile

696
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,000
manor. Um, and a lot of that was due to

697
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,880
the was it something to do with the

698
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,520
utilities or something? But Country View

699
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,760
Estates is the same thing where we're

700
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,440
not individually paying the city

701
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,679
utilities that's in our HOA. the board

702
00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:26,400
pays it or the the the state pays it.

703
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,120
So, I guess why is that not included?

704
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,400
But we're included. Um I just think if

705
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,559
it's going to be

706
00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:35,840
implemented, it should be across the

707
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,440
board in my opinion. Um and then there's

708
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,799
just a couple things that when I was

709
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:42,320
reading through your sheets you sent

710
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,120
out, um you know, it can't be two times

711
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,320
the amount of rooms. So, I give the

712
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,480
example of a four-bedroom house, but if

713
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,559
the family of 10 comes in, I the state

714
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:52,480
says I can't discriminate against them

715
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,559
because they have eight kids. So, how

716
00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:56,000
does this the board work through that

717
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,200
cuz I don't want to lose my rental

718
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,960
licenses, but I also don't want to break

719
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,360
any laws. Um, another one is, you know,

720
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,080
if you can't, it's only one family. So,

721
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,840
I use the example, I had one that took

722
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,840
in a sick friend, you know, but now

723
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,399
that's not the same family. So, am I

724
00:28:12,399 --> 00:28:14,480
breaking the rules with the city then or

725
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,760
how do we navigate that and you know

726
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,120
just some of the things I would have

727
00:28:19,120 --> 00:28:22,240
liked to workshop with you just so it

728
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,480
we would have known more and then same

729
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,880
thing with the fees. I know other towns

730
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,559
have them but they're two to three times

731
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,880
more than other cities. So, how come

732
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,480
it's more expensive and what does that

733
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,919
funds go towards? I guess um that's kind

734
00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:37,760
of my main points. So, I know there's a

735
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,200
lot more I could go through, but I want

736
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,520
to be respectful of time. So, I thank

737
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,840
you for hearing me out and hope to work

738
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,360
with you in the future. I'd like to keep

739
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,919
doing business in my office. So,

740
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:49,200
>> I appreciate it. Thank you.

741
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:59,909
>> Thank you. Appreciate it. you.

742
00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:01,840
» My name is Sue Fallon Donic and I'm the

743
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,600
president of the Association of Country

744
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,200
View Estates and we too were floored

745
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,799
that this was not even brought to our

746
00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:11,600
attention prior to the information. I

747
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,159
was given an email saying they needed to

748
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:17,039
know the tenants in the buildings. Well,

749
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,760
I don't own every unit. My husband and I

750
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000
own nine units out of the 57 units that

751
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,360
are available. And it we did not think

752
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,200
that it was up to us to tell you who's

753
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,159
living in these complexes. And I did res

754
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:31,919
respond back saying, "Well, are you

755
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:34,480
asking the homeowners who's living in

756
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,600
their units?" Um, it just seems like the

757
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,840
renters are being penalized for renting

758
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,080
in this city. I own property in

759
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,559
Minneapolis and I've gone to many

760
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,720
meetings and I've never felt this left

761
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,120
out. We always had workshops as Jonathan

762
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,559
said and talking to the owners. Montro

763
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,080
is not a high middle class area. Country

764
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,360
View keep tries to keep their rents

765
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,080
relatively low because of the clientele

766
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,559
in this area. We know that they're not

767
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:08,240
making 50 $60,000 a year. Um they're

768
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,559
actually lower income. And so what's

769
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:13,440
happening is all these fees, including

770
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,080
the water that we pay $6,000 a month for

771
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,720
three buildings, is adding on to the

772
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,039
pressure of the owners who have to pass

773
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,640
that on to their tenants. So the rents

774
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,679
are going up to almost $13,400

775
00:30:27,679 --> 00:30:30,240
a month. Now, I don't know about you,

776
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,640
but when I bought my first house, I did

777
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,960
not pay anywhere near that much money.

778
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,760
And now you're asking people to move in

779
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,039
a in a in a community such as Montrose

780
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:42,880
and it's a small community and things

781
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,960
are lower down here than they are the

782
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,120
city. We don't get the commuters like we

783
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,360
used to do when I came out here 26 years

784
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,120
ago. Um there's still a lot of people

785
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,559
that go to the city and they can make

786
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:56,000
money out there but in Mont in Montro

787
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,799
Cooko Buffalo Howard Lake they're not

788
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:01,679
making that kind of money. So I guess

789
00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:04,080
what the bottom line is why we were not

790
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,880
brought into the mix of this. We are

791
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,559
probably your largest rental area for units in a complete in a small area.

792
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:14,720
We're also told as Jonathan brought up

793
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,520
was the water. Our association pays that

794
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,520
water. We have association dues that

795
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,600
each owner pays monthly of $325.

796
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,520
So if you own multiple units, you're

797
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,919
paying for that the water plus the

798
00:31:27,919 --> 00:31:29,440
electric for the outside and the

799
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320
interior hallways. So what's happening

800
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,880
is we're we've got owners who want to

801
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,440
sell now. We could be sitting there with

802
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,360
empty units because no one's going to

803
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,640
pay what the going rate for for units

804
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,720
are right now. We're trying to keep it

805
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,360
low. And as the president, I have to be

806
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,120
responsible for all the monies that come

807
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,919
in. I have to make sure as you do that

808
00:31:51,919 --> 00:31:54,320
this tax money that we're we're sending

809
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,360
for here is spent wisely and that's what

810
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,679
we're trying to do. So we had just had

811
00:31:59,679 --> 00:32:02,000
hoped that you would contact us and let

812
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,559
us know this was coming because we've

813
00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,600
had to con increase our association dues

814
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,720
twice in a year and it's it's getting

815
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,960
more expensive and if you want more

816
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,519
people to move into your area you have

817
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,200
to make it affordable for other people

818
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,279
as well. I mean, yes, you have expensive

819
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:21,840
homes around the exterior, but you also

820
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,200
have people who want to live out here

821
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,120
who grew up here or older people who

822
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,200
want to go into smaller units. And so, I

823
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,919
appreciate um in the future to contact

824
00:32:31,919 --> 00:32:35,519
us directly. Um we were told once again

825
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:37,360
the mail, we were told that we were

826
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,120
given this stuff. We never received

827
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,679
anything in the mail. So, and then all

828
00:32:41,679 --> 00:32:43,360
of a sudden we found out that February

829
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,399
1st we had to have, you know, so we had

830
00:32:46,399 --> 00:32:48,240
to come up with thousands of dollars in

831
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,080
order to pay for the fees all at one

832
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,360
time with really no notice. And you

833
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,279
know, you had decided made this decision

834
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,840
back in November and I think it would

835
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,679
have just been a really good um

836
00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:02,720
community if you would have included the

837
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,760
people who are renting in your city.

838
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:06,480
Thank you.

839
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:16,630
>> Thank you.

840
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:23,269
There we go.

841
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:24,960
Hello.

842
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,120
Sorry about that. Hello. My name is Ross

843
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,240
Danielson. I live at 3616 20th Street

844
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,279
Northeast in Buffalo. I have 18 rental

845
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:37,120
units here in town. And again, we were

846
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,720
blindsided. Also, um

847
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,640
they just mentioned about the fees about

848
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,000
thousands of dollars having to come up

849
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,760
with the fees. It's kind of the same

850
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600
situation that you guys are running into

851
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,919
right now with the railroad. It's going

852
00:33:49,919 --> 00:33:52,480
to cost you $48,000 is what it just

853
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,159
said. It's not in your budget

854
00:33:54,159 --> 00:33:56,559
whatsoever. This is what is not in our

855
00:33:56,559 --> 00:33:59,760
budget at all either itself. So

856
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,720
ultimately we try to keep our rents

857
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,000
lower than we than market rate is and

858
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,280
stuff. I maintain my units the best I

859
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,879
can and stuff. We have tenants that they

860
00:34:12,879 --> 00:34:15,679
need something done. They're done. I had

861
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:18,399
my inspections today and stuff. I had

862
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:21,280
people back out today to fix the little

863
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,919
items that was was asked to have

864
00:34:23,919 --> 00:34:27,839
repaired and stuff. So,

865
00:34:27,839 --> 00:34:29,760
the communication and the working with

866
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,159
the city and the city has worked with

867
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:36,000
us. It took 16 years to get Rockbrook

868
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,430
Boulevard.

869
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,240
Thanks to Jessica that came on and said,

870
00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:45,040
"Hey, we need that road fixed." We

871
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,359
worked together and it worked out

872
00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:49,679
wonderful. I went to every single

873
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:51,440
property owner. We had a conversation.

874
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,919
We spent time together. We made a plan.

875
00:34:53,919 --> 00:34:55,839
She helped us do do an assessment

876
00:34:55,839 --> 00:34:57,520
against the property and it all worked

877
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,240
out. Yes, it cost money. It's costing

878
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,960
the the the you know the property owners

879
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,359
and the current owners and stuff, but it

880
00:35:05,359 --> 00:35:07,280
was communication that worked together

881
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,119
and we got it accomplished and

882
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:10,480
everybody's happy.

883
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,320
>> Can I make a clarification on that first

884
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:12,720
though?

885
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:13,119
>> Yep.

886
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:14,960
>> The more that you That was actually not

887
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,800
Jessica. That was Christy.

888
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,280
>> Oh,

889
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:18,720
>> that was Christie that did all that

890
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:20,000
work. So, I just want to make that

891
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,720
clarification.

892
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:22,000
>> Okay. Sorry about that. No,

893
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,720
>> you're fine. So, um, a lot of my

894
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,720
communication was was through Jessica.

895
00:35:26,720 --> 00:35:29,920
So, anyways, thank you, Mantros, for

896
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,359
working with us because that's the most

897
00:35:31,359 --> 00:35:33,280
important part. It was the communication

898
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,079
that worked together that got a project

899
00:35:36,079 --> 00:35:38,800
that needed to get done accomplished.

900
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,320
And that's the whole point I think that

901
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,320
everybody has here. I'm not really sure

902
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,800
how, you know, this is right to even be

903
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,760
able to go into somebody else's home and

904
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,359
inspect it and determine how they should

905
00:35:53,359 --> 00:35:55,599
live or what,

906
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:59,200
you know, condition of what things are and stuff like that. I think that's

907
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,200
a real invasion of privacy. It's to me

908
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,160
it's redlinining. It's it's, you know,

909
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,000
it's it's it's discrimination. But I

910
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,800
know other communities doing it. So

911
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,160
somewhere's along the line, they must

912
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,599
have figured out somehow to make it

913
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:17,520
legal, but um it is what it is. We we're

914
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,640
working through it. Um I do have a point

915
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,640
that Jonathan made up um and Sue made up

916
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,520
the point too, trying to make housing

917
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,400
affordable.

918
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,800
Jonathan made the point that you can't

919
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,960
have more than two families in a home

920
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,640
and stuff. Sue made the point that we're

921
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,160
trying to have affordable housing and to

922
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,040
make it conducive for people to get

923
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,240
started to work together. I had four

924
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:53,920
young gentlemen very religious and stuff

925
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,839
that couldn't afford by themselves. So

926
00:36:55,839 --> 00:36:58,640
they got out of two overexpensive rental

927
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,720
properties. They came together and four

928
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,359
of them rented a four bedroomedroom

929
00:37:03,359 --> 00:37:06,480
townhouse and stuff that knocked their

930
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,000
rent down from 850 each to 450 each

931
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,560
which made it affordable for them. But

932
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,680
now my understanding and you guys will

933
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,280
have to explain it to me how this is

934
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,680
going to work and stuff. I would have to

935
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,960
deny them a rent which I can't do under

936
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,829
federal laws. So,

937
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:31,839
» that's something that's that you it's

938
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:33,359
going to have to be explained or how how

939
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:35,280
do we work through it or what how do you

940
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,599
handle a situation like that? Um

941
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:42,720
other part of this um was the

942
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,520
registering your renters and stuff for

943
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,599
the utilities.

944
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:50,560
You already have an ordinance in place

945
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,760
that stipulates in the event that the

946
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,079
utilities do not get paid, you certify

947
00:37:56,079 --> 00:37:58,400
them to my taxes

948
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,040
and stuff. I asked the question and

949
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,760
stuff, why doesn't the utilities then

950
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,200
follow the tenant? Because the tenant

951
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,359
can run. They get behind on their rent.

952
00:38:09,359 --> 00:38:11,359
They get behind in their utilities. They

953
00:38:11,359 --> 00:38:14,240
run and they might run to somebody

954
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:17,520
else's unit within the city. Why doesn't

955
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,240
that bill transfer to them when they

956
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:22,000
apply

957
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,880
for new utilities in a different unit in

958
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,560
the same community?

959
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:27,280
>> Because it's

960
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,400
>> ultimately then if you know if they

961
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,760
leave and go to a different community,

962
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,440
ultimately you're going to certify it to

963
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,079
my taxes anyway. So why are we

964
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:40,720
registering them and making it my issue?

965
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,599
So, I flew home from Arizona

966
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:47,440
to handle this stuff and to register my

967
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,000
tenants because I didn't have the

968
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,880
capabilities of doing it from Arizona.

969
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,040
Okay. I don't bring my computer with me.

970
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,520
I detach completely. I have a phone.

971
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,160
That's it. Nothing goes to my phone. So,

972
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,119
anyways, um I'm not sure why a tenant

973
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:07,040
can't register themselves for their

974
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,640
utilities.

975
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,880
So, that's a a question I have for the

976
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:20,470
city, too. Um,

977
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,040
I guess I'll I'll I'll stop there and

978
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,119
stop before I run out of time because I

979
00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:26,240
know other people want to have some

980
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,520
time, too. Okay.

981
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,400
>> Thank you very much.

982
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:28,960
>> Thank you.

983
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:42,150
>> I hope we can follow up.

984
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,839
I just heard a couple times and I'm

985
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:46,079
Becky Yarns um a landlord and I've also

986
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:48,800
got about 18 units but just was

987
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,599
wondering um I love the idea hearing

988
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:53,200
about a workshop

989
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,440
>> and that would have been nice that we

990
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,520
could go ahead and you know get

991
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,320
information ask questions in a more

992
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,720
informal situation.

993
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:05,760
One of the other questions I have is if

994
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,520
you don't get licensed, what happens? I

995
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,680
mean,

996
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,440
if if you don't get lensure,

997
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,839
what happens to our with our tenants?

998
00:40:17,839 --> 00:40:19,599
And like many people said, we've been

999
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:22,720
trying to keep our this is not uh we

1000
00:40:22,720 --> 00:40:26,079
don't have any big businesses here. And

1001
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:28,800
I know I've had some of my tenants I've

1002
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,320
had for like 10 to 15 years. And so many

1003
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,680
of them are over 65

1004
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,640
and it's like they they're not making a

1005
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,680
lot of money. And so it feels like yes,

1006
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,400
property taxes are going up and the and

1007
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,760
the uh insurance is going up and now

1008
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,280
this.

1009
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,280
So that's another question. I'd love to

1010
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,200
see a workshop because I've got way too

1011
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,880
many questions. The other one too is um

1012
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,040
why what happens? This is our first time

1013
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,200
going through this. So, we don't even

1014
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,240
know what exactly West Metro is going to

1015
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:07,040
be looking at. Are they looking at how

1016
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,160
clean are people keep their places? I

1017
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,240
know I've got one gal with cancer. She

1018
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:14,240
can't move around that much. I've got

1019
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,040
another gal with one leg. She can't move

1020
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:24,079
around that much. And so, it's like how picky are they going to be? We don't

1021
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:25,839
know,

1022
00:41:25,839 --> 00:41:28,079
you know, if the and and like uh when

1023
00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:30,079
you walk into a place, you know, if I've

1024
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:31,440
got a landing, I've got a little scratch

1025
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,599
on the floor. Do we have to get new

1026
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:37,440
flooring for the whole unit or, you

1027
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,040
know, is that going to be okay?

1028
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,960
I would just love to see a workshop.

1029
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:53,430
Thank you.

1030
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,200
Hey, good evening. My name is Kevin

1031
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,319
Gtle. I live at 1855 Silverbell Road in

1032
00:41:58,319 --> 00:42:02,079
Egan and I own some condos or I'm a

1033
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:03,839
partner in ownership in some condos on

1034
00:42:03,839 --> 00:42:05,839
Mindy Lane. I'm also a commercial real

1035
00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:07,440
estate guy and I work all over the state

1036
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,680
with apartment buildings and I own in

1037
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,400
other I own apartments and apartment

1038
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,359
buildings and condos in other mostly

1039
00:42:15,359 --> 00:42:18,400
small towns around Minnesota. I was just

1040
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400
wondering,

1041
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,920
are you able to tell me are the

1042
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,680
inspections going to be done within from

1043
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:24,960
city employees or are you hiring

1044
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,280
somebody from outside of the is it an

1045
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,640
outside firm that's going to be doing

1046
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,319
these or something? I heard somebody say

1047
00:42:30,319 --> 00:42:32,319
there's an outside firm coming in.

1048
00:42:32,319 --> 00:42:34,079
>> Uh we've hired Metro West to do all

1049
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:35,280
inspections.

1050
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,160
>> Oh, I can imagine they're expensive.

1051
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,119
>> No,

1052
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:40,960
>> I mean not incredibly expensive.

1053
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,359
>> Okay. I don't know what expensive is. I

1054
00:42:43,359 --> 00:42:45,839
It just sounds expensive, maybe. Thank

1055
00:42:45,839 --> 00:42:47,680
you for that. Absolutely.

1056
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,680
>> So, okay. Um, one of the things I was

1057
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:50,720
wondering because I also own a

1058
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:52,480
manufactured housing park, not here in

1059
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,640
town, but I heard that you're not going

1060
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,640
to inspect trailer homes that are

1061
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,160
rented. Is that correct?

1062
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,839
>> That is not correct. We are inspecting

1063
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:01,599
them. They are they are included.

1064
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:03,119
Correct. Yep. We've been in somebody's

1065
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:04,240
rent out a trailer house. They're

1066
00:43:04,240 --> 00:43:04,960
getting inspected.

1067
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:05,520
>> Correct.

1068
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,280
>> Thank you. Good to know. I just wanted

1069
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,800
to talk about a couple of the fees that

1070
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:10,319
I pay in some of the other towns that

1071
00:43:10,319 --> 00:43:12,640
are very similar to size and population

1072
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,119
and offerings. Truman, Winnebago, Blue

1073
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:20,800
Earth, Reborn. Nothing, nothing, Um, new 30 bucks a

1074
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,240
door per year. Mano, 45 bucks a door per

1075
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,200
year. So, the to me I'm still trying to

1076
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:32,960
pay the first half of

1077
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,599
last year's property taxes off after

1078
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:39,440
evicting a bunch of drug addicts that I

1079
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,040
inherited unknowingly at 5,000 bucks a

1080
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,359
shot with no rent. while I'm, you know,

1081
00:43:45,359 --> 00:43:47,599
going through that process and a $20,000

1082
00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:49,839
remodel on the unit. This is all very

1083
00:43:49,839 --> 00:43:52,079
real numbers. We spend a million bucks

1084
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:54,560
in town on rentals and we haven't made a

1085
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,359
penny. So, but I think we're going to

1086
00:43:57,359 --> 00:43:58,720
make money the next year and then the

1087
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,079
taxes go up and then I think we're going

1088
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:01,440
to make money the next year and then the

1089
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,319
association fees go up. All that we do

1090
00:44:04,319 --> 00:44:08,640
is pass this on to the tenants and $125

1091
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,720
a door seems very extravagant um for I

1092
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,480
guess the size of the town or what I see

1093
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,280
in other cities. And we do just I'm I'm

1094
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:18,560
probably going to write something into

1095
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,240
my leases and pass that directly onto my

1096
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:24,960
tenants like I do move in fees. $200

1097
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,720
moving fee gets passed directly onto the

1098
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,480
tenant. So, we're trying to do some

1099
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,920
affordable housing. And the last person

1100
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,160
that looked at one of my units for lease

1101
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,599
here in town said I I asked I said is

1102
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:36,960
why are you here? Well, this is the

1103
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,040
cheapest place in Wright County that I

1104
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,760
can find to live. Okay, thank you. You

1105
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:45,680
know, um so passed on the costs. One of

1106
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,240
the things when I unfortunately I don't

1107
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,960
have my letter here that I got that I

1108
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,119
was given from the association, not from

1109
00:44:53,119 --> 00:44:55,760
the city about what you guys are have

1110
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,720
passed already. I was I was confused

1111
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:01,040
reading through it if it's a two-year

1112
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,560
inspection versus a three-year

1113
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,160
inspection. I didn't really understand

1114
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,319
how often the inspections were going to

1115
00:45:08,319 --> 00:45:11,119
be or if the original dues, the original

1116
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:13,839
cost to license something was the same

1117
00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:18,079
as the later inspections. Some of that

1118
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:19,680
was kind of mis I couldn't really

1119
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,240
understand. Sounded like it contradicted

1120
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,560
itself in the paperwork.

1121
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:29,359
Um, so I just went through and told my

1122
00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:31,200
tenants I was raising their rents. I got

1123
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,040
one old lady says I got to move out.

1124
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,480
I can't have her move out. I'm going to

1125
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,119
have to throw all that remodel into her

1126
00:45:39,119 --> 00:45:41,359
apartment. I've got other ones that are

1127
00:45:41,359 --> 00:45:43,599
also saying that younger ones saying I

1128
00:45:43,599 --> 00:45:45,040
can't. We're going to have to give our

1129
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,359
notice. I tried to go to 1400. The girl

1130
00:45:47,359 --> 00:45:50,880
settled at 1,500 or 1350 to stay for 6

1131
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,440
months. The other one I they're strong

1132
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,720
iron. They're going to they're going to

1133
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:58,240
leave me empty if I raise their rents.

1134
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:01,440
No, my fees go up regardless.

1135
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:02,560
Pretty soon I'm going to have to

1136
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,240
refinance that loan and I'm going to be

1137
00:46:04,240 --> 00:46:08,079
negative. It's not really and I I you

1138
00:46:08,079 --> 00:46:09,440
know, actually the next one I have

1139
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,880
coming open, I'm going to put it up for

1140
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,079
sale because it's just been one thing

1141
00:46:14,079 --> 00:46:17,440
after the next. Can't get contractors to

1142
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,240
come to Montro. The price of, you know,

1143
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,400
even a refrigerator these days is crazy.

1144
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,560
So, at $125 a door, I was going to ask

1145
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,520
that you might reconsider that fee. I

1146
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,359
just got the letter about the fees. I

1147
00:46:31,359 --> 00:46:34,160
haven't even paid mine yet. So, I was

1148
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,920
hoping that we were all going to lock

1149
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,079
arms and ask that these fees would be

1150
00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:41,109
lowered.

1151
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,359
Maybe it's too late, but I'm asking that

1152
00:46:43,359 --> 00:46:45,119
the fees be lowered. I'm asking that

1153
00:46:45,119 --> 00:46:48,960
these fees be because 1,250 bucks to my

1154
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,040
little account here at my Mundy

1155
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,200
Apartments over here. here. Mindy Lane,

1156
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,720
I don't have it.

1157
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:56,160
>> I ain't got it.

1158
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,760
>> I'll come up with it somehow if I have

1159
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,359
to. I I think I have till the end of

1160
00:46:59,359 --> 00:47:01,839
this month before I get a fine or a fee.

1161
00:47:01,839 --> 00:47:05,280
I'm not even really sure. Um but yeah,

1162
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,200
thank you for all of that. Um

1163
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,920
and then yeah, if we had a guide of what

1164
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,040
we were expected when what to expect

1165
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,640
when the inspectors come through, that'd

1166
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,400
be helpful as well.

1167
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,079
>> Thanks. Thanks very much.

1168
00:47:20,079 --> 00:47:37,829
>> Thank you.

1169
00:47:37,839 --> 00:47:40,960
My name is Alan Williamson. I rent from

1170
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,680
the Donaldsons. I've been with them for

1171
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,960
nine years. I have no problem paying my

1172
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:51,359
rent, which is good. But this fee that

1173
00:47:51,359 --> 00:47:54,079
you're charging, the inspections that

1174
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,480
you're doing, and the people you're

1175
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:00,880
choosing to do them too is ridiculous.

1176
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,839
Usually renters are people who can't

1177
00:48:03,839 --> 00:48:07,599
afford to live in a home or a private

1178
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:12,000
home and or they choose not to live in a

1179
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,200
private home because they can't do the mowing and the snow plowing and

1180
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,910
things of that nature. needs to be done.

1181
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,520
The fee you're charging is going to

1182
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,480
raise my rent, I would estimate $20 a

1183
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,319
month.

1184
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:31,280
And for people, some people that I know,

1185
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,839
that's extravagant. They can't afford

1186
00:48:33,839 --> 00:48:36,800
$20 a month for this fee that you're

1187
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,280
charging. The other thing, it doesn't

1188
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,680
state anywhere in the letter how often

1189
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,920
you're going to do this inspection. Are

1190
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,599
you going to do it once a day? You going

1191
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:47,440
to do it once a week? You going to do it

1192
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,319
once a month, once a year, once every

1193
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:53,760
five years? What's the what's what's the

1194
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,559
per periodic rate? I mean, if you're not

1195
00:48:56,559 --> 00:48:58,480
going if you're going to wait a year to

1196
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,440
do an inspection, then all the batteries

1197
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,640
can go bad on smoke alarms. All kinds of

1198
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,280
things can happen in a year.

1199
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,440
Also, why aren't you expanding this

1200
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,760
program out to private homes? This

1201
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,359
inspection needs to be done in private

1202
00:49:13,359 --> 00:49:16,000
homes just as much as it needs to be be

1203
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:21,119
done in apartments. So by

1204
00:49:21,119 --> 00:49:23,359
bringing this into a small group of just

1205
00:49:23,359 --> 00:49:25,680
renters, you're discriminating against

1206
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,240
renters, you're saying you're second

1207
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:33,440
rate citizens. We don't want you here.

1208
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,280
And to me, it's a travesty.

1209
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,750
I I believe that this

1210
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,880
program that you're doing is illegal. Uh

1211
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,520
it's discriminatory

1212
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,319
and I have a feeling that the state of

1213
00:49:50,319 --> 00:49:54,000
Minnesota and the city of Monro and all

1214
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,640
these other cities that's adopting this

1215
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,200
principle is end going to end up in a

1216
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,480
class action lawsuit.

1217
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,960
That's all I have to say. Thank you.

1218
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:11,589
>> Thank you.

1219
00:50:11,599 --> 00:50:15,760
Hello, I'm Bill Fiser. Uh, I guess my

1220
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,960
address 7062 6th Street Southeast

1221
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:20,480
Buffalo.

1222
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,200
Um, I am vice president of the Country

1223
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,640
View Estates and uh, I guess I'm kind of

1224
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,359
ditto on everything that's kind of been

1225
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:33,839
said before me. Um, I personally have

1226
00:50:33,839 --> 00:50:36,079
never been contacted by the city or

1227
00:50:36,079 --> 00:50:38,960
anyone of the city. Um, I think there's

1228
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,839
a lot of hearsay going on.

1229
00:50:41,839 --> 00:50:43,920
Like I'd heard that the trailer courts

1230
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,680
weren't going to get inspected or what

1231
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,079
have you. And and so I think because

1232
00:50:48,079 --> 00:50:50,400
there was never a workshop or what have

1233
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,200
you. Um there's a lot of

1234
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,839
miscommunication

1235
00:50:55,839 --> 00:50:59,839
and things uh going around because

1236
00:50:59,839 --> 00:51:02,240
nobody's had a formal meeting to really

1237
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:04,800
go over some of the documents that I

1238
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,079
have kind of received secondhand. Um I

1239
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:10,160
think were preliminary things that

1240
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,000
things did change out of those

1241
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,680
documents. Um as whatever did get final,

1242
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,240
I guess. I don't I like I say I don't

1243
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:21,760
know. I don't uh I haven't uh registered

1244
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,520
any of my units and what have you. Um

1245
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,000
just seems to be over and over more and

1246
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,440
more government overreach in my opinion.

1247
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,559
And uh I used to have 21 rental units.

1248
00:51:34,559 --> 00:51:36,400
I'm down to eight and I'm actually

1249
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,400
redoing one in Country View and selling

1250
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,520
it. I the least amount of these rentals

1251
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,559
I can have I have no rights anymore and

1252
00:51:44,559 --> 00:51:47,280
um it's a government overreach. just

1253
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,839
gets to be too much. But I would like to

1254
00:51:49,839 --> 00:51:54,079
see uh some kind of a workshop or what

1255
00:51:54,079 --> 00:51:56,960
have you and and get this nailed down to

1256
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,520
who's who and what and get all the

1257
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,520
landlords um notified and and then

1258
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,480
notified of what is what are the rules,

1259
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,720
what do we need to do and what have you

1260
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:10,960
that way. So,

1261
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:11,920
thank you.

1262
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,800
>> Thank you.

1263
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:20,309
All

1264
00:52:20,319 --> 00:52:24,319
right. Anyone else want to speak?

1265
00:52:24,319 --> 00:52:26,400
Come on up.

1266
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,359
>> I'll be very quick. I'm Scott Stovone

1267
00:52:29,359 --> 00:52:30,720
with Stomo Real Estate and Property

1268
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:32,400
Management. We manage multiple

1269
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,040
properties here in Montro and all around

1270
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,960
the area. Um the biggest thing my

1271
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,160
question for you is what we are having

1272
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,240
issues with other cities when it comes

1273
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:46,960
to the inspections nowadays. Um we're

1274
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,720
having a lot of tenants that are

1275
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:52,240
refusing to allow the inspectors into

1276
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:55,040
the their homes

1277
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,920
and for good reason. You we all watch

1278
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:02,079
the news um and they're scared. They

1279
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:04,000
know us, trust us. We do our

1280
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,160
inspections. they're fine with that. But

1281
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,880
when someone official comes in, it

1282
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,160
scares them. So, and that's going to

1283
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,920
happen in your community, too. You got

1284
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,760
to figure out what are you going to do

1285
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,079
when that happens. Are you going to pull

1286
00:53:18,079 --> 00:53:19,359
that rental license? Are you going to

1287
00:53:19,359 --> 00:53:25,359
kick them out of the street? What is going to happen at that point

1288
00:53:25,359 --> 00:53:29,119
for them? All right, that's it.

1289
00:53:29,119 --> 00:53:29,920
>> Thank you.

1290
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,510
>> Thanks.

1291
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:37,200
All right. We got anyone else who would

1292
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:43,829
like to speak?

1293
00:53:43,839 --> 00:53:47,760
Doesn't look like we do. All right. Um,

1294
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,000
here's what I'm going to propose. I I'd

1295
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,960
like to have a workshop with all of you.

1296
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,599
Um, let's sit down. Let's kind of go

1297
00:53:55,599 --> 00:53:58,000
over this ordinance. Um, and get your

1298
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,319
guys' feedback on this. Um, we are more

1299
00:54:00,319 --> 00:54:01,760
than willing to work with you guys on

1300
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,800
this. Um, so I think that should

1301
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,000
probably be our next step here. Um, if

1302
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,880
that's suitable for you guys. Again, I

1303
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,160
mean, we're more than willing to work

1304
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,880
with you. Um, I mean, the lack of

1305
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,359
communication. Yep. I I mean, the city

1306
00:54:17,359 --> 00:54:19,280
will own that. You know, we apologize

1307
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:20,800
for that, but let's let's sit down.

1308
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,559
Let's have a workshop. Let's go through

1309
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:24,160
this and let's hammer it out and make

1310
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,319
sure it's kind of fair for everybody.

1311
00:54:26,319 --> 00:54:28,240
Does that sound sound good?

1312
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:29,680
>> Yeah.

1313
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,640
Absolutely.

1314
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:31,119
>> Quick question.

1315
00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:31,839
>> Yeah, of course.

1316
00:54:31,839 --> 00:54:33,760
>> With that with the fees and the

1317
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:38,870
inspections, the insp

1318
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,839
workshop.

1319
00:54:39,839 --> 00:54:41,680
>> Yeah, I'm going to suggest that we do

1320
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,079
put a pause on that right now. Um I'm

1321
00:54:44,079 --> 00:54:46,160
guessing we probably need a motion to

1322
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,280
pause that. But um yeah, I would uh I

1323
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:50,480
would think we should probably put a

1324
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,160
pause on that for now until we can sit

1325
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,200
down and

1326
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,079
>> follow the ones that inspection.

1327
00:54:56,079 --> 00:54:58,240
>> Yep. I knew that was coming. What do we

1328
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:04,950
do from there?

1329
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,670
» What are our thoughts here?

1330
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,040
» Yeah.

1331
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,119
>> No, no. I I I totally I totally

1332
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:15,040
understand. I was I was thinking that

1333
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:16,559
through my head as everybody was talking

1334
00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:18,319
what that would look like and I I don't

1335
00:55:18,319 --> 00:55:19,440
know what that's going to look like

1336
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,280
right at this moment in time.

1337
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:22,319
>> Yeah.

1338
00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:24,880
>> Just comment in what your response was.

1339
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,599
See, one of the items that I forgot to

1340
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:30,640
ask about is I have some tenants that

1341
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,640
are out of state for the winter.

1342
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:33,359
>> Mhm.

1343
00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:36,160
>> You know, and they're not returning.

1344
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,319
They have security on their home. They

1345
00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:41,839
have video in their house and I don't

1346
00:55:41,839 --> 00:55:42,720
have access

1347
00:55:42,720 --> 00:55:44,240
>> right

1348
00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:46,319
>> and I was told that I could possibly be

1349
00:55:46,319 --> 00:55:49,119
fined for every month until they get

1350
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:52,559
home. But that shouldn't be

1351
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:54,799
>> that shouldn't be work.

1352
00:55:54,799 --> 00:56:01,119
>> Yep. I I agree. I agree. So, let's set up a workshop. Like to work

1353
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,839
with you guys on this. Um, you know, as

1354
00:56:03,839 --> 00:56:05,440
far as the pause and everything, we can

1355
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,000
figure that out during the workshop. I,

1356
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:09,200
like I said, I've been racking my brain

1357
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,400
as you guys were all talking, trying to

1358
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,960
figure out how that would work. But, um,

1359
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,720
so, yeah, let's set that up. Council, we

1360
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:20,710
good with that?

1361
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:22,960
» I'm good with that. I would recommend

1362
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,520
since we've had issues with mail, can

1363
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,520
each landlord supply uh an email address

1364
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,839
to the city so we can get direct contact

1365
00:56:31,839 --> 00:56:33,040
because I want to make sure you guys get

1366
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,079
that.

1367
00:56:34,079 --> 00:56:35,680
>> Thank you.

1368
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,359
>> Those of us who have registered should

1369
00:56:37,359 --> 00:56:39,119
have our email.

1370
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:39,520
>> Yeah.

1371
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,200
>> Yep.

1372
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:46,069
>> Send them registration.

1373
00:56:46,079 --> 00:56:48,480
So I do know that um this information

1374
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:57,109
was sent out like months ago. Um

1375
00:56:57,119 --> 00:57:02,390
» so then how then how did you

1376
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,799
by the end of the month that was the

1377
00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:07,760
notification I had to call find out what

1378
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:09,440
this all about. So, all of this

1379
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,520
paperwork started going out in October

1380
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,839
and you know, obviously we can't control

1381
00:57:13,839 --> 00:57:16,799
it once it leaves the city. Um, but we

1382
00:57:16,799 --> 00:57:18,400
certainly have prepared those documents

1383
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,520
and sent them out. We did struggle with

1384
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,680
sending information to Country View

1385
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,440
because we don't have those owners

1386
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,760
names. Um, I do have copies of emails

1387
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,200
here where we started asking for that

1388
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,280
information in August and we were denied

1389
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,400
the information. So we we did, you know,

1390
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,160
in fairness, we did have a difficult

1391
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,400
time getting a hold of owners at at

1392
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,040
Country View because when we contact

1393
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:42,799
when we made contact with that person,

1394
00:57:42,799 --> 00:57:44,079
we were unable to

1395
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:45,520
>> Let's do this. Let's let's not worry

1396
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,119
about the communication piece. I mean,

1397
00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:49,200
that's over and done. It's water in the

1398
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:50,559
bridge. We don't need to sit here and go

1399
00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:52,480
back and forth on it. Let's just let's

1400
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:53,839
get a meeting set up. Let's get a

1401
00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:56,240
workshop set up and we can we can start

1402
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,160
from there. We'll just kind of I won't

1403
00:57:58,160 --> 00:57:59,680
say start from scratch, but get your

1404
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,200
guys' input on what this would look

1405
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,200
like. I just want to get comment on the

1406
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,040
rent. I mean, when the rent goes through

1407
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,240
the city, it may be 10, 15 days before

1408
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,480
the owners get that rent. So, there is

1409
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,319
an issue with Montro's mail and we all

1410
00:58:12,319 --> 00:58:15,599
know that issues with Howard Lake. Yep.

1411
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:16,880
>> All straight down.

1412
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,520
>> So, I guess when we say that, we're not

1413
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,040
attacking the city, right?

1414
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:22,400
>> But we're just coming up with the facts

1415
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:23,599
that we did not receive,

1416
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:24,240
>> right?

1417
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:29,040
>> Yep. Nope. Totally understand. So,

1418
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,599
all right. So, we will have the city get

1419
00:58:31,599 --> 00:58:32,880
a hold of you guys. We'll set up a

1420
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,880
workshop and kind of go through

1421
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:36,240
everything, kind of hash everything out

1422
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:37,920
and come up with something that works

1423
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,839
for all involved.

1424
00:58:39,839 --> 00:58:42,240
>> All right. We need a motion for that. I

1425
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,760
don't think so.

1426
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,680
>> Okay.

1427
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,680
All right. Are we good?

1428
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:48,960
>> Perfect.

1429
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,880
>> Love to hear

1430
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,319
just to make sure that we're all on the

1431
00:58:52,319 --> 00:58:52,960
same page.

1432
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,240
>> Yes, sir.

1433
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,720
Can we all of us that are here email to

1434
00:58:58,720 --> 00:58:59,440

back out and we all get it and we're all

1457
00:59:56,799 --> 00:59:58,880
on the same page.

1458
00:59:58,880 --> 00:59:59,520
>> Sound good?

1459
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:07,670
>> Sounds good to me.

1460
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:08,799
» Sounds like somebody out there is

1461
01:00:08,799 --> 01:00:11,359
bringing the donuts. So, who it's going

1462
01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:16,309
to be?

1463
01:00:16,319 --> 01:00:20,630
Wow. Welcome to Montro.

1464
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:21,839
All right, if we got no further

1465
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:23,680
discussion, we're going to move along to

1466
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,480
classification and compensation study.

1467
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:27,920
>> Mayor and council, included in your

1468
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,240
packet tonight, there was a formal

1469
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,160
proposal from DDA and Associates um for

1470
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,520
a classification and compensation study.

1471
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,280
I did reach out to four different

1472
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,280
companies. Uh two responded. The other

1473
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,520
one I did not get a formal proposal from

1474
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,640
Abdo. Um he quickly this afternoon sent

1475
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:54,640
me an email with an amount. Um so um his

1476
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:59,349
amount that he sent me was 11,300.

1477
01:00:59,359 --> 01:01:00,640
» That was Abdo.

1478
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:01,119
>> I'm sorry.

1479
01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:04,400
>> That was Abdo.

1480
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,599
And the other one included in the packet

1481
01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:11,839
that we received. Um there was a couple

1482
01:01:11,839 --> 01:01:13,760
different options.

1483
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,119
Um, I would say to be most comparison,

1484
01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:19,359
uh, the fourth option that they included

1485
01:01:19,359 --> 01:01:21,839
would probably be apples to apples to

1486
01:01:21,839 --> 01:01:24,079
abd,000

1487
01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:26,960
>> and that was 9,000.

1488
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,559
So, I did ask about a timeline for this.

1489
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:32,880
Um, they would it would take about 2 to

1490
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:36,480
3 months to complete. Uh, Abdo

1491
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,319
recommended waiting until after the

1492
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:41,119
salaries came out at the end of June. Um

1493
01:01:41,119 --> 01:01:43,599
I disagree with that and believe we need

1494
01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:46,160
to get moving forward with this um so

1495
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,359
that perhaps we can have it done in May

1496
01:01:49,359 --> 01:01:51,119
completed.

1497
01:01:51,119 --> 01:01:53,040
If we wait until the end of June for

1498
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,280
that study to come out, we are looking

1499
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:08,390
at an end date of October.

1500
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:15,430
Council, what's your thoughts?

1501
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,000
I will also say Abdo did find that they

1502
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,160
did one 10 years ago.

1503
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:21,599
>> So that was probably our last one.

1504
01:02:21,599 --> 01:02:23,280
>> That was the last one and they should be

1505
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:24,400
done every 3 to five.

1506
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,240
>> Okay.

1507
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,799
>> I do think it's very important that we

1508
01:02:28,799 --> 01:02:30,079
do this.

1509
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:32,720
>> I agree and I uh plan to have it going

1510
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,359
forward. We can pick so many years

1511
01:02:35,359 --> 01:02:37,359
>> at a later date, but to get it on a

1512
01:02:37,359 --> 01:02:37,839
plan.

1513
01:02:37,839 --> 01:02:39,359
>> Yep.

1514
01:02:39,359 --> 01:02:42,720
I do also agree that we need to do these

1515
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,240
more regularly, like you said, the three

1516
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:45,839
to five years, but I agree with Jackie.

1517
01:02:45,839 --> 01:02:47,440
I think waiting

1518
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,440
>> and not having it done to October is not

1519
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:50,240
good for us,

1520
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,750
>> right?

1521
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,839
» And I think with kind of the reorg that

1522
01:02:57,839 --> 01:02:59,200
city's going through, I think this is a

1523
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:05,510
perfect time to do it. So,

1524
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,960
what are your guys' thoughts?

1525
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:10,799
I mean, obviously I like the 9,000

1526
01:03:10,799 --> 01:03:13,119
better than the 11,300.

1527
01:03:13,119 --> 01:03:14,799
And you said, Jackie, these are pretty

1528
01:03:14,799 --> 01:03:17,920
much apples to apples. Uh, you said

1529
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,079
number four here to what?

1530
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:21,839
>> Yeah, I can send around. I put a

1531
01:03:21,839 --> 01:03:23,119
screenshot on my phone because that's

1532
01:03:23,119 --> 01:03:25,440
all I have. It's a number.

1533
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:26,880
>> That's fine.

1534
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:31,670
>> Where in the budget is that?

1535
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,039
» I'm going to figure that out.

1536
01:03:33,039 --> 01:03:34,720
>> Okay.

1537
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,119
Um, probably part of it I was going to

1538
01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:38,960
put through more like a council

1539
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,280
miscellaneous has kind of a larger line

1540
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,559
item that is available and nothing is

1541
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:46,480
occupied by that or planned for that

1542
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:53,190
amount.

1543
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,760
» What's the fee you're looking for?

1544
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:56,559
>> Um,

1545
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:57,200
>> 9,000.

1546
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,559
through Yep. DDA and Associates.

1547
01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:02,799
>> David Drone.

1548
01:04:02,799 --> 01:04:08,789
Yeah, that's what we did when um

1549
01:04:08,799 --> 01:04:10,160
trying to think what city administrator

1550
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:13,039
name, but I remember that. Okay. I say

1551
01:04:13,039 --> 01:04:15,520
the other two uh Keystone just had no

1552
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,440
availability. They're completely bogged

1553
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,640
down. And then Ellers, I did not even

1554
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,400
get a remark back from Ellers.

1555
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:23,920
>> That one surprised me.

1556
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:24,720
>> I agree.

1557
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,000
>> They would have been on top of it.

1558
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,960
>> And I did reach back out to Ellers and

1559
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:37,270
still nothing.

1560
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,280
I'll make a motion to approve the $9,000

1561
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:40,880
for the classification and compensation

1562
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:41,760
study.

1563
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,039
>> I'll second.

1564
01:04:43,039 --> 01:04:46,319
>> Any further discussion?

1565
01:04:46,319 --> 01:04:47,119
>> Mr. Nelson,

1566
01:04:47,119 --> 01:04:47,680
>> I.

1567
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:48,640
>> Miss Paradise,

1568
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:49,200
>> I.

1569
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:50,559
>> Mr. Vontoma,

1570
01:04:50,559 --> 01:04:51,280
>> I.

1571
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:52,319
>> Miss Otto,

1572
01:04:52,319 --> 01:04:52,799
>> I

1573
01:04:52,799 --> 01:04:59,430
>> I'll vote. I passes 5.

1574
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,480
All right. Moving on to Moto Haven

1575
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:09,270
autocross concept.

1576
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:25,829
You're up.

1577
01:05:25,839 --> 01:05:36,710
Nope. You ready?

1578
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,720
Hi,

1579
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:39,440
>> thank you.

1580
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:39,760
>> Yeah.

1581
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,640
>> Uh I'm Rick Harrison, Rick Harrison site

1582
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,319
design. I'm going to introduce the team

1583
01:05:44,319 --> 01:05:46,960
here in a minute.

1584
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:51,920
Uh this um autocross is a legacy for the

1585
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,680
Thompson family. We've got uh Jay-Hawk

1586
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,760
over here if you want to stand up for a

1587
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:00,160
second. Uh

1588
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:05,039
he's really uh the one that

1589
01:06:05,039 --> 01:06:07,359
you know I met Jay-Hawk maybe

1590
01:06:07,359 --> 01:06:09,680
>> I am an older guy

1591
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,480
>> year and a half ago and it was like this

1592
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,119
energy that he had that kind of drew me

1593
01:06:15,119 --> 01:06:19,599
in. But uh this is him 55 years ago when

1594
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:22,160
he discovered autocross for the first

1595
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,960
time. And uh it pretty much dove into

1596
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,880
this and raised his family around

1597
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,000
autocross. And I was a founder of the

1598
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:35,599
Minnesota Auto Sports Club 53 years ago.

1599
01:06:35,599 --> 01:06:40,160
to him. Um, and then his son, uh, John

1600
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,839
Thompson,

1601
01:06:41,839 --> 01:06:44,640
uh, you know, they he's he's taken on

1602
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:49,520
that. Uh, and for John, I I just went on

1603
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,480
to that website and I I found in 1997,

1604
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,200
he was number two in his class on

1605
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,720
Minnesota Autoports Club. And, uh, they

1606
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,359
raised their family around it and and

1607
01:07:01,359 --> 01:07:05,200
they they pretty much are experts on it.

1608
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:10,240
Um Rick Storland is the architect on the

1609
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:13,760
units and Rick was uh involved in the

1610
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,039
original uh autoplex that Bruno put

1611
01:07:17,039 --> 01:07:20,559
together that started this whole trend.

1612
01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:23,920
And uh these are not autoplexes. These

1613
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:29,200
are light industrial but uh he and uh

1614
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,839
Jay-Hawk Thompson has been working on

1615
01:07:31,839 --> 01:07:34,480
perfecting this unit. So this is light

1616
01:07:34,480 --> 01:07:36,319
industrial. This is could be

1617
01:07:36,319 --> 01:07:39,039
autorelated, but it's business related

1618
01:07:39,039 --> 01:07:42,720
for number one. Uh I've had a passion of

1619
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,400
uh uh cars uh since I've been 15. I've

1620
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:50,000
had some pretty wild stuff. Uh but I I

1621
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,200
uh I'm head of the Aston Martin owners

1622
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,079
group for the Midwest and been an Aston

1623
01:07:56,079 --> 01:07:59,599
Martin owner for forever. Uh, but I run

1624
01:07:59,599 --> 01:08:01,359
my business like the automotive

1625
01:08:01,359 --> 01:08:02,960
industry. We're a research and

1626
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,440
development company to discover new

1627
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,200
technologies and methods for land

1628
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:08,880
development. And we've been doing that

1629
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,680
for about 35 years. We have almost 2,000

1630
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,039
projects around the the world using

1631
01:08:15,039 --> 01:08:18,400
these methods. And Montro 25 years ago

1632
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,600
for pilot land, I did these two sites. I

1633
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,600
think I did another site, but I couldn't

1634
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,040
um find it. The one site didn't happen.

1635
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,400
Uh I did Westridge Village in Delano 20

1636
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,359
years ago and more recently Green Bar

1637
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:36,000
Hills. Uh that was mine. And I've got

1638
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,640
another 80 acre site in um Maple Lake

1639
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,199
that's not ready to come on the market

1640
01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:47,120
yet. And then we've got the uh autocross

1641
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:50,319
track on the souththeast corner of 12

1642
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:52,159
and 25.

1643
01:08:52,159 --> 01:08:55,520
Uh Rosano Ree is uh general counsel. Uh

1644
01:08:55,520 --> 01:09:00,239
he's uh That's a nice nice photo.

1645
01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:03,440
>> I've been waiting for this.

1646
01:09:03,440 --> 01:09:07,279
He didn't know I was going to do this.

1647
01:09:07,279 --> 01:09:09,279
It's amazing what you could do online.

1648
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:12,960
>> Yeah, no kidding. But uh I met uh so

1649
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,040
Rousano's been in the banking industry,

1650
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:18,000
mortgage industry and uh then after the

1651
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,199
recession he's uh was head of head sales

1652
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:24,239
at uh Aston Martin now at Ferrari and

1653
01:09:24,239 --> 01:09:26,719
very well connected in town and he's

1654
01:09:26,719 --> 01:09:28,799
going to be helping.

1655
01:09:28,799 --> 01:09:31,600
Andrew Baronburgg, this is uh Andrew and

1656
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,839
his Corvette

1657
01:09:33,839 --> 01:09:38,880
uh that they picked it up. So we're car people. Um

1658
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,480
a little bit about the site. It's 100

1659
01:09:40,480 --> 01:09:43,359
acres approximately.

1660
01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:48,640
Um we um Andy met with um uh the mindot

1661
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,880
people and they preferred the entrance

1662
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:53,440
across Arizona. This is some recent

1663
01:09:53,440 --> 01:09:56,800
changes in the plan. Uh so this plan

1664
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,560
reflects that and of course this is

1665
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,679
concept. concept means, you know, as we

1666
01:10:01,679 --> 01:10:04,159
start surveying and engineering, we we

1667
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:06,960
hope to get it close, but uh there could

1668
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,000
be changes. Uh we we'll have an entrance

1669
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,920
off of 25. Uh the lanes will be 25 foot

1670
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,480
wide. Um and the autocross is in the

1671
01:10:16,480 --> 01:10:18,560
middle. So, there's really two

1672
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,280
businesses here.

1673
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,000
The um industrial, we call them town

1674
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,640
homes. Uh uh these there's 178 proposed

1675
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:31,920
units. That could change depending on uh

1676
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:35,280
engineering, but uh probably 178's on

1677
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,280
the high side.

1678
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,239
Um and then the tracks are variable and

1679
01:10:40,239 --> 01:10:42,080
I'm going to talk a little bit about

1680
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,880
that uh in in a bit, but I want to start

1681
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,960
out with the um the town homes. U

1682
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:53,600
detention is proposed in those areas. Um

1683
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,400
there's these will be a steel

1684
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,280
construction. They want to open up a

1685
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,320
local plant not just for these units but

1686
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:04,159
for regional

1687
01:11:04,159 --> 01:11:06,800
uh units and the clubhouse is going to

1688
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:09,360
be by the entrance. We'll talk about

1689
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,400
that in a minute. Now what's interesting

1690
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:13,920
is

1691
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,600
um

1692
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,679
when I saw the top I thought how we're

1693
01:11:17,679 --> 01:11:19,840
going to pull this off. So, we did run

1694
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,400
some initial earth work and we got the

1695
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:25,360
earth work to balance. Now, it does

1696
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,560
drop, but it drops in like a half a

1697
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,800
mile. So, it's going to be just a slight

1698
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,640
slope that no one's even going to

1699
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:33,840
notice,

1700
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,800
>> but it does balance out. So, we checked

1701
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,199
that before we even

1702
01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:40,159
pursued the site.

1703
01:11:40,159 --> 01:11:41,520
>> Right.

1704
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,600
Uh Moto Haven Executive Estates are the

1705
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,120
um industrial units and they're in four

1706
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,239
unit buildings. Uh each building has

1707
01:11:52,239 --> 01:11:53,920
four units that could be configured in

1708
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,560
one business or two or three or what you

1709
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,880
know it it's variable but they're

1710
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:03,280
modules. Um Jay-Hawk and and Rick can

1711
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,199
talk you know more in details for

1712
01:12:05,199 --> 01:12:07,760
questions on that. It is not an

1713
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,520
autoplex.

1714
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:13,520
It's um it could be, you know, uh for

1715
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,239
car storage. It's it's a light

1716
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:18,880
industrial PUD.

1717
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,199
They're modular and they're consistent.

1718
01:12:21,199 --> 01:12:23,920
They're for sale units, so you're going

1719
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,920
to buy the units. So, that's why we call

1720
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,080
them like industrial town homes. They're

1721
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,840
not for rent. They have low uh traffic,

1722
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,320
so they're not like retail stores with a

1723
01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:37,120
lot of traffic. And uh so that's limited

1724
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,600
customer parking. And again, they're not

1725
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,080
specifically vehicle oriented, but we

1726
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,880
anticipate a lot of them are are going

1727
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:47,840
to be uh vehicle oriented.

1728
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:52,000
Um again, each four uh pod uh can be

1729
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,640
separated and uh each unit is uh 60 foot

1730
01:12:56,640 --> 01:13:02,080
deep and 30 foot wide, multi-story.

1731
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,199
Um, and then what's unique is this 20

1732
01:13:05,199 --> 01:13:09,120
foot outside storage

1733
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:12,800
and um 80 foot deep. And I don't know of

1734
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,960
any of these units like I'm in a

1735
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:16,560
industrial unit. I just thought that

1736
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,120
this was kind of brilliant and very

1737
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,760
unique and I thought it would be a real

1738
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:25,360
big plus. They're concrete construction

1739
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,280
so you've got that soundproofed um

1740
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,920
Jay-Hawk likes to say bulletproof. I I

1741
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,920
hope that neighbors are not shooting at

1742
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:36,560
each other.

1743
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:40,709
>> Yeah.

1744
01:13:40,719 --> 01:13:42,320
» Um

1745
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,120
but but for fire they're they're um

1746
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,239
they're they're they're concrete

1747
01:13:48,239 --> 01:13:50,880
relatively fireproof, but that 40 foot

1748
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,239
separation is also uh fireproof. Now

1749
01:13:54,239 --> 01:13:56,880
this is outside my my office. I'm in a

1750
01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,880
warehouse and you can see Total Comfort

1751
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:05,040
Parks up the parking lot. Um, Phantom

1752
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,199
Screens at night parks up the parking

1753
01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:09,840
lot and then there's times where someone

1754
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:11,600
visiting my office has to go to the

1755
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:12,880
other end of the parking lot just

1756
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:14,640
because they park it up because there's

1757
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,280
no outside storage.

1758
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,880
Um, this is my office. Excuse the mess,

1759
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:26,239
but there's a literal hole in my wall

1760
01:14:26,239 --> 01:14:27,679
that goes to the neighbor. I could look

1761
01:14:27,679 --> 01:14:30,960
into my neighbors. There's no fire. If

1762
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,920
they caught fire, I'm I'm I'm bad shape.

1763
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,880
As far as soundproofing, two doors down

1764
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,040
was the game show. You couldn't have a

1765
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,679
louder business. They were there for a

1766
01:14:41,679 --> 01:14:44,400
decade. They just moved to West End.

1767
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,320
That was my neighbor. nothing I could do

1768
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:50,400
about it. I had to listen to that. So,

1769
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,480
uh just a little tour of what these are

1770
01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:54,400
like. You have, you know, outside

1771
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,040
storage and in this case it's, you know,

1772
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,400
this is auto oriented, but again, you

1773
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,320
could have 20 foot ceilings. I could

1774
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,719
tell you we have 20 foot ceilings in in

1775
01:15:04,719 --> 01:15:07,760
our uh office. I can tell you there

1776
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:09,840
isn't a single tenant that's using 20

1777
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,800
foot ceilings. None. Nobody is. It's

1778
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,000
just empty space. But these could have

1779
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,880
20 foot ceilings, but they're um you

1780
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:22,000
know, this is an example of the a spa

1781
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,080
and a gazebo business. They can have

1782
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,199
that space to display their gazeos.

1783
01:15:27,199 --> 01:15:29,280
Every unit's going to have an upper

1784
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:30,800
deck.

1785
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,199
Every unit can see the racetrack from

1786
01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:36,000
the upper deck. So, there's a this upper

1787
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,719
area. You go down the steps. Now, this

1788
01:15:38,719 --> 01:15:41,120
floor can be configured any which way.

1789
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,080
You This one has a bedroom. It has a

1790
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,320
little kitchenet, office space,

1791
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:47,920
bathroom,

1792
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,840
you know, if if someone needed to stay

1793
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:53,600
overnight or or work late or weekends.

1794
01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:56,320
Then um then the the lower level and

1795
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:58,159
again this could have 20 foot ceilings,

1796
01:15:58,159 --> 01:16:00,400
it could be two one story, it could be

1797
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,719
two stories, but it's the same module.

1798
01:16:02,719 --> 01:16:07,280
So each business will be able to vary

1799
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,040
and that's what makes it unique. Um,

1800
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,679
so the outside storage would look about

1801
01:16:13,679 --> 01:16:16,080
like that. And and this is we try to get

1802
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,080
it as close to the actual architecture

1803
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,440
as possible. The thermostat building

1804
01:16:21,440 --> 01:16:24,400
uses uh the panels including the ceiling

1805
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,480
will be concrete. So uh it's it's they

1806
01:16:28,480 --> 01:16:31,840
do the u the the floors and the ceilings

1807
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,640
will also be concrete. And these are

1808
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,560
some examples of the the units. Um the

1809
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,880
initial ramp I talked with Charlie the

1810
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,600
CEO and he thought that 10 employees

1811
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,239
originally ramping up to 20 in that

1812
01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:47,840
plant.

1813
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,159
Um and it's going to serve a large

1814
01:16:50,159 --> 01:16:53,600
geographic area and uh Jay-Hawk thinks

1815
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:57,040
they'll be up to about 35 sales staff to

1816
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,080
serve that. Now the competition

1817
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,239
which really isn't because this is the

1818
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:06,000
autoplex is West End and Delano.

1819
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:07,920
Um, you can see these units are

1820
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,800
expensive and it says sold out and one

1821
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:14,320
left at $350,000.

1822
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,159
It doesn't say you can have your

1823
01:17:16,159 --> 01:17:18,640
business in there.

1824
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,239
That's the difference. Who is it perfect

1825
01:17:20,239 --> 01:17:22,800
for? Just like every other auto, but

1826
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:24,800
you're not running your business legally

1827
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,360
out of there. This again is not an auto.

1828
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,199
It's light industrial. If you want to

1829
01:17:29,199 --> 01:17:31,840
store your cars, that's great. That's

1830
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,840
the difference.

1831
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,760
Um it's more like where I rent.

1832
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:41,760
Uh speed is the um

1833
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,910
autocross

1834
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,560
um entity that it's speed is the entity

1835
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,880
that that runs the autocross portion of

1836
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:52,560
this.

1837
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:54,239
Um

1838
01:17:54,239 --> 01:17:57,520
it'll be an ideal

1839
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,360
platform

1840
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:01,679
uh for automotive events because of its

1841
01:18:01,679 --> 01:18:04,000
space.

1842
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:10,000
I go to these caravans and there's a a a facility just like this

1843
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,960
around um Rogers. I made the mistake of

1844
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,840
going there for an event.

1845
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,040
I pulled in all of a sudden there's five

1846
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,760
or six cars behind me and I my tolerance

1847
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:25,440
for these shows was like a half an hour

1848
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:27,600
and I'm out of there. I was stuck there

1849
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,440
the whole day. there was no getting out

1850
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:35,280
and uh you know so this is not an event

1851
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,840
spot

1852
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,120
when you look at speed we're looking at

1853
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:47,520
the uh community center and the um and the track

1854
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,520
it stands for spirited educational

1855
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,840
driving learning the limits of car

1856
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:55,360
control and so most people know how to

1857
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,920
drive a car but during an emergency

1858
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,679
mergency, how are they going to respond?

1859
01:19:01,679 --> 01:19:05,280
Autocross is the ideal training ground

1860
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,520
for that. So, um, John Thompson, he's

1861
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,080
going to head up that whole thing.

1862
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,280
Um, I personally don't do autocross. I I

1863
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,760
but I I don't race a car. I don't drive

1864
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,360
it hard, but my son does.

1865
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:22,880
And

1866
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,960
you're not going to hit a wall. You're

1867
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:27,280
not going to hit something. It's just

1868
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:28,960
cones

1869
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:32,719
and it's safe and it's not fast.

1870
01:19:32,719 --> 01:19:36,800
Um, and so John's been doing this his

1871
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,199
lifetime. Jay-Hawk has been doing this

1872
01:19:39,199 --> 01:19:40,960
his lifetime. And they're going to be

1873
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:42,560
the training facility and they're going

1874
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:44,960
to put that together.

1875
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,800
And it's for anybody, any car, any any

1876
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,040
uh any four-wheel vehic ve vehicle. So,

1877
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,960
anybody benefits from learning how to

1878
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,360
drive safer.

1879
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:57,040
Um,

1880
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:58,880
and those courses because they're just

1881
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,080
cones vary depending on who you are,

1882
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:05,360
what you want to learn. Um, emergency

1883
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,840
crews, fire and police

1884
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:12,159
training ground for that, too. And, um,

1885
01:20:12,159 --> 01:20:14,320
you know, snow and ice recovery when

1886
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:17,760
there's snow and ice, it you know, it it

1887
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,880
could still run. So, that's the training

1888
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,920
component, but autocross is also a

1889
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:25,360
competition.

1890
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,920
So, it's a sport.

1891
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,960
It's to um now you're pressured to make

1892
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:32,960
the best time.

1893
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,600
Uh generally,

1894
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:38,480
it's uh slow.

1895
01:20:38,480 --> 01:20:41,679
It's that's a very tight course. And

1896
01:20:41,679 --> 01:20:45,840
it's it's um requires a helmet, a car,

1897
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,880
and a driver's license.

1898
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,400
So I started I you know I'm not an

1899
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,320
expert on it so I you know but I

1900
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:55,920
investigate these things. I'm thinking

1901
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,000
well how many other autocross tracks are

1902
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,280
there? And if you go on the internet

1903
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,520
says no official count there's 1100

1904
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,000
autocross events every year from the

1905
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,400
sports car association of America just

1906
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,199
that one organization.

1907
01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:13,280
And there's no official registry of of

1908
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,760
autocross tracks because I couldn't find

1909
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,440
anything that actually existed. They're

1910
01:21:17,440 --> 01:21:19,679
parking lots. Put cones in a parking

1911
01:21:19,679 --> 01:21:21,600
lot, you got an autocross track. This is

1912
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:25,199
an actual full-time business.

1913
01:21:25,199 --> 01:21:27,840
So, we believe that Montro is going to

1914
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,600
be ground zero for autocross.

1915
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:36,560
And um speeds rarely exceed 50 miles an

1916
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:39,199
hour. 5560 is tops because they're just

1917
01:21:39,199 --> 01:21:42,239
you just can't get any faster. The focus

1918
01:21:42,239 --> 01:21:44,640
is on cornering. It's on timing. It's on

1919
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:46,480
speed.

1920
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:49,040
And um

1921
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:50,960
so

1922
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,280
it's about balancing the cars. Now I've

1923
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,560
taken performance courses at at Aston

1924
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,520
Martin and I learned a lot in one day.

1925
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,760
It was pretty phenomenal.

1926
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:06,159
I didn't know all this stuff. And this

1927
01:22:06,159 --> 01:22:07,600
course is going to be a whole lot more

1928
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,040
accessible. It's going to be a lot

1929
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,400
cheaper than the course I took.

1930
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,400
And it's going to be local. You don't

1931
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:15,840
have to get on a plane and fly

1932
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,719
somewhere. There's four courses.

1933
01:22:18,719 --> 01:22:21,440
So, there'll be four events going on or

1934
01:22:21,440 --> 01:22:23,600
four, you know, you can have four clubs

1935
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:27,920
uh on it at any time. The competition uh

1936
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:31,760
Brainer International Raceway is not an

1937
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,719
autocross. It is a racetrack.

1938
01:22:34,719 --> 01:22:37,600
It is a place where you could get in

1939
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,320
trouble. Now, these are videos I took on

1940
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,800
the Aston Martin day that I was there

1941
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:46,480
and that there's a gray DB11 in the

1942
01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:48,239
background there and that car went into

1943
01:22:48,239 --> 01:22:51,760
the wall and that totaled a4 million

1944
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,199
dollar car at one event. So, it's

1945
01:22:55,199 --> 01:22:56,880
expensive.

1946
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:58,719
It's very, very expensive. It's two

1947
01:22:58,719 --> 01:23:01,520
hours from Minneapolis versus 35 minutes

1948
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,840
from Minneapolis. So, this is much

1949
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:07,360
better location for an auto an event.

1950
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,000
The Gary Curtis driving experience is at

1951
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,400
the Rosemont's truck trainer training

1952
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,320
facility. They have six days available

1953
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:18,639
in 2026 for renting the track. It's high

1954
01:23:18,639 --> 01:23:20,960
speed. It could you could get in

1955
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,639
trouble.

1956
01:23:22,639 --> 01:23:26,480
Um so that is not competition. Elco

1957
01:23:26,480 --> 01:23:31,040
Speedways a 38 small oval which

1958
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:33,600
not really competition.

1959
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,199
Um, we're proposing a clubhouse with a

1960
01:23:37,199 --> 01:23:39,199
restaurant, car rental and maintenance.

1961
01:23:39,199 --> 01:23:41,120
I know that Jay-Hawk's been talking with

1962
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:42,960
the city. Is that going to be a city

1963
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,040
facility?

1964
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,600
You know, so this is something that will

1965
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,159
morph. That's a very big facility. uh

1966
01:23:50,159 --> 01:23:54,480
Rick designed it and um you know it

1967
01:23:54,480 --> 01:23:56,960
that's that's a really big big uh

1968
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,360
facility and and out of that's going to

1969
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,920
have rental cars for people to rent a

1970
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,440
car for the tracks

1971
01:24:03,440 --> 01:24:05,199
>> and the maintenance of those cars will

1972
01:24:05,199 --> 01:24:09,760
be there. Uh we talked with uh um the

1973
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,400
emergency that there's a need for a

1974
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,199
helipad. So it' be at the end of this

1975
01:24:15,199 --> 01:24:17,520
Arizona Avenue

1976
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,880
>> and because it's an ideal place to uh to

1977
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,560
service and it's an incredible location

1978
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,360
for events. Locally there's over 200

1979
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:32,159
auto clubs. Um there's 1.2 to 1.4 4

1980
01:24:32,159 --> 01:24:34,639
million auto enthusiasts in um

1981
01:24:34,639 --> 01:24:37,920
Minnesota, estimated 100,000 active

1982
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,639
ones, people like me that's like really

1983
01:24:40,639 --> 01:24:45,280
into it. And um there's a lot of market

1984
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,280
here. Now, one of the things that I

1985
01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:48,800
didn't bring up before, and this is

1986
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,560
something that Jeff Cheney of Cheney

1987
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,080
Performance and I were going to put

1988
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,120
together before the recession, we had a

1989
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:59,040
piece of land in uh East Bethl, is to

1990
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:00,960
have and and this isn't going to say

1991
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,960
that we're going to do this, but we're

1992
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:04,800
going to look into this. And that is to

1993
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:08,400
have a family restaurant that has shops.

1994
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,320
So, when you're eating, you could see

1995
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:14,000
cars getting customized and worked on.

1996
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,000
And this was a system that we were

1997
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,120
actually going to put together. And so

1998
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,679
while you're eating there, um, you

1999
01:25:21,679 --> 01:25:25,360
could, uh, you know, do wheels, engines,

2000
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,639
customizing all this stuff in one shop

2001
01:25:28,639 --> 01:25:30,960
spot that could be financable, which

2002
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:34,080
most don't have that. And, um,

2003
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:35,679
warrantied,

2004
01:25:35,679 --> 01:25:39,360
so you can contract it and and have, you

2005
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,120
know, watch cars getting worked at like

2006
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,760
an immersive experience. and and the

2007
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:45,679
recession killed that.

2008
01:25:45,679 --> 01:25:48,639
>> But um whether that is something that

2009
01:25:48,639 --> 01:25:51,280
could fit into the clubhouse uh or it

2010
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,159
even works, but

2011
01:25:54,159 --> 01:25:55,840
if we get approved tonight, then we're

2012
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,080
going to look into the feasibility of

2013
01:25:58,080 --> 01:25:59,760
that. So, I just thought I would show

2014
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:01,360
that and that would be another reason to

2015
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,040
come out to Montros. I like that.

2016
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,440
>> No alcohol, family restaurant,

2017
01:26:05,440 --> 01:26:08,480
>> good food. But uh and that that has not

2018
01:26:08,480 --> 01:26:11,040
been done before, but we'll we'll look

2019
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,480
into revisiting that.

2020
01:26:14,480 --> 01:26:18,480
Um this the autocross nationals uh had

2021
01:26:18,480 --> 01:26:20,880
about 1,200 people last year,

2022
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,000
participants. Uh they had to rent a

2023
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,080
facility at an airport in Lincoln,

2024
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,040
Nebraska. I would think Montrose would

2025
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:32,639
be a good place to be put on the map for

2026
01:26:32,639 --> 01:26:35,120
the nationals here.

2027
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,239
Um, tonight's approval, it just gets our

2028
01:26:38,239 --> 01:26:40,880
engine started. It's, you know, the

2029
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,199
money starts rolling to hire the land

2030
01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:46,480
surveyor to get a good survey. The civil

2031
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:49,280
engineering Andy gets rolling on that

2032
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,280
once we get the surveying and everything

2033
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:52,960
begins.

2034
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:54,560
um

2035
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,520
working with the Grip Steve Gripman to

2036
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,639
hone down what the PD is, the HOA, stuff

2037
01:27:00,639 --> 01:27:03,199
like that. Uh I'll probably be working

2038
01:27:03,199 --> 01:27:06,080
with them on that. Um,

2039
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,639
we'll have something that we can now go

2040
01:27:08,639 --> 01:27:10,800
to with investors and secure the

2041
01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:13,440
financing, get that rolling, start our

2042
01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:16,960
marketing and outreach to, you know, get

2043
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:19,120
the word out and get this thing really

2044
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:22,080
kicked off and and then reach the the

2045
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:23,679
finish line. That's really what we're

2046
01:27:23,679 --> 01:27:27,120
asking for tonight is the city's,

2047
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:30,480
you know, blessing to move forward

2048
01:27:30,480 --> 01:27:33,120
and and so we could, you know, start

2049
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,760
running with this. And that's that's

2050
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,120
what I wanted to present. And um any

2051
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,920
questions? You know, I everybody's here

2052
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,880
tonight and you know,

2053
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:49,110
>> council, you have any questions?

2054
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:50,960
» I do not. I was there planning and

2055
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,800
zoning and I thank you guys for coming

2056
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,400
out that night and then all of you

2057
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,800
showing up tonight to support

2058
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:57,199
>> Oh,

2059
01:27:57,199 --> 01:27:58,719
>> what you guys have going on here. We

2060
01:27:58,719 --> 01:27:59,679
appreciate it.

2061
01:27:59,679 --> 01:28:02,639
>> Super excited about this.

2062
01:28:02,639 --> 01:28:05,120
>> Yeah. I mean, we've had numerous

2063
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,120
discussions. Jay, you and I talk

2064
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,440
probably what, twice a week.

2065
01:28:09,440 --> 01:28:11,120
>> Yeah. I haven't talked to you for a

2066
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,920
couple days, but

2067
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:14,400
>> sure.

2068
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,560
>> Yeah, I know. I'm waiting on it.

2069
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,639
Temperatures are getting warm. My wife

2070
01:28:18,639 --> 01:28:20,239
says it's been five minutes. You haven't

2071
01:28:20,239 --> 01:28:23,910
had a phone call.

2072
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,360
» Um, no. I think I mean so far everything

2073
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,120
you guys have been great to work with. I

2074
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:33,520
mean I I love the idea. Um, I I do

2075
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,199
believe that this is going to put

2076
01:28:35,199 --> 01:28:40,239
Mantros on the map for this. Um,

2077
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:42,320
you know, I I had discussions with the

2078
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,360
um Ray County

2079
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:46,320
Missy um

2080
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:47,920
>> economic development partnership.

2081
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:49,360
>> Thank you. It's a it's a mouthful to

2082
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:50,960
say, so I couldn't get it all couldn't

2083
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:52,800
get spit it all out. Um but we did have

2084
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,040
a discussion about this uh last week.

2085
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,040
>> Yep. And I've also talked to Clay

2086
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,679
Wilford at the county um the assistant

2087
01:28:59,679 --> 01:29:01,679
county administrator was also interested

2088
01:29:01,679 --> 01:29:02,880
in hearing one for sure.

2089
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,560
>> Yep. And so we had discussion about what

2090
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,000
kind of businesses we could see coming

2091
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:11,040
in here. Um, so I I think I mean I'm

2092
01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:12,800
definitely excited about this. I know

2093
01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,320
there's some others on this board that

2094
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:17,120
are excited about this project and you

2095
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:19,840
know you've got my blessing going

2096
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,719
forward here. So I mean if the council

2097
01:29:22,719 --> 01:29:23,920
doesn't have any questions, I'd like to

2098
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:26,400
see a motion to approve the concept

2099
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:28,560
plan. And

2100
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,719
>> the the only thing I'll state is that I

2101
01:29:30,719 --> 01:29:32,880
knew nothing about this stuff this type

2102
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:36,400
of an event and center. I spoke with a

2103
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,480
few people who I would have had no clue

2104
01:29:38,480 --> 01:29:40,239
and they were like, "Oh yeah, it's

2105
01:29:40,239 --> 01:29:41,440
amazing."

2106
01:29:41,440 --> 01:29:43,360
>> I think they saw it in Chayan Hassen at

2107
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:44,800
a temporary location.

2108
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:49,040
>> It's amazing what the community is here.

2109
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,520
>> So I mean

2110
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:52,719
I've been informed.

2111
01:29:52,719 --> 01:29:54,400
>> My wife wish I didn't have the sickness.

2112
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:57,440
Let me tell you,

2113
01:29:57,440 --> 01:29:59,199
>> I've been informed now. So I have no

2114
01:29:59,199 --> 01:30:01,360
further questions on it.

2115
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:02,960
>> Just to clarify, we don't need a motion.

2116
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:04,080
>> Don't need a motion. Just need a

2117
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:05,280
consensus to move forward.

2118
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:09,040
>> Perfect. Love it. Um I mean I've seen

2119
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,760
many of these autocross events and you

2120
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:13,679
know

2121
01:30:13,679 --> 01:30:16,560
it's definitely it's not loud. I mean

2122
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,360
like you said 55 60 m an hour is the

2123
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:21,440
tops and it's literally you could have a

2124
01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:23,199
Ferrari versus a Miata out there.

2125
01:30:23,199 --> 01:30:23,760
>> Yeah.

2126
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,840
>> And everything's equal. Um,

2127
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,560
>> yeah, I think it's

2128
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:29,440
>> not really

2129
01:30:29,440 --> 01:30:30,000
>> Well,

2130
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:30,960
>> I know what you're saying,

2131
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:32,239
>> but

2132
01:30:32,239 --> 01:30:34,719
>> it really all depends on the driver. It

2133
01:30:34,719 --> 01:30:36,080
doesn't have anything to do with the car

2134
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,040
at that moment in time. Um, one piece

2135
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:40,800
that I do like about it is we've had

2136
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:42,960
discussions about, you know, bringing in

2137
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:45,040
the school district and their behind the

2138
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:48,480
wheel training and using this area for,

2139
01:30:48,480 --> 01:30:50,000
you know, winter driving and stuff like

2140
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,480
that. I mean, I have a daughter who's

2141
01:30:52,480 --> 01:30:53,760
getting ready to get, you know, start

2142
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:55,360
the behind the wheel. Um, you know,

2143
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:57,360
there's a lot of people in town that are

2144
01:30:57,360 --> 01:30:59,120
doing the same thing and you start

2145
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:02,880
thinking about how they react during,

2146
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,719
you know, snowstorms and stuff like

2147
01:31:04,719 --> 01:31:06,639
that. I mean,

2148
01:31:06,639 --> 01:31:08,719
having a wide open area like this

2149
01:31:08,719 --> 01:31:10,480
without,

2150
01:31:10,480 --> 01:31:11,679
you know, worrying about hitting

2151
01:31:11,679 --> 01:31:13,360
anything, I think is just a great

2152
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,760
training tool that we can, you mean,

2153
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:21,600
certainly utilize, utilize, that was, a tough word for me. Um, yeah.

2154
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:23,120
And I think as long as we have

2155
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,760
consensus, I think we can

2156
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,159
give you the thumbs up here. And

2157
01:31:28,159 --> 01:31:29,520
>> that just means I got to talk to Jay

2158
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:31,600
more,

2159
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:33,520
>> which I love, Jay.

2160
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:40,070
>> Well, I intend.

2161
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:44,239
» You have never had a big long story.

2162
01:31:44,239 --> 01:31:46,719
>> And Jay sucked me in like

2163
01:31:46,719 --> 01:31:49,280
>> Yeah. I don't know what he he does, but

2164
01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:52,239
he does. You know, the passion.

2165
01:31:52,239 --> 01:31:55,520
>> All right. All right. So,

2166
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:56,639
>> everyone agrees.

2167
01:31:56,639 --> 01:31:58,080
>> Yeah. I say go for it.

2168
01:31:58,080 --> 01:31:59,360
>> Yes. Thank you.

2169
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:00,400
>> There you go.

2170
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:02,080
>> Off and running.

2171
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:03,440
>> Thank you.

2172
01:32:03,440 --> 01:32:08,550
very much.

2173
01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:10,320
» Excellent presentation as always, too,

2174
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:11,040
by the way.

2175
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:11,600
>> Thank you.

2176
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:13,199
>> Next time we'll try to get some VR stuff

2177
01:32:13,199 --> 01:32:14,639
going on.

2178
01:32:14,639 --> 01:32:17,199
>> Oh, boy. Here we go. Long story and I'll

2179
01:32:17,199 --> 01:32:18,400
be short.

2180
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:19,440
>> Yeah. Okay.

2181
01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:21,679
>> This will keep the crazies with the

2182
01:32:21,679 --> 01:32:24,480
redness moments off of the street.

2183
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:24,960
>> Exactly.

2184
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,840
>> And I have to admit I've been one of

2185
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:28,960
>> I may have too

2186
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,280
>> kids and they were actually in the cars

2187
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,080
when I was street racing. So

2188
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:35,280
>> you're not supposed to say that. Right.

2189
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:41,510
Counties right here.

2190
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,239
» Anybody can go fast in a straight line.

2191
01:32:44,239 --> 01:32:46,239
put some terms in and see what you

2192
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:46,719
>> Exactly.

2193
01:32:46,719 --> 01:32:48,239
>> That's how I got into that.

2194
01:32:48,239 --> 01:32:49,840
>> Yep. Exactly.

2195
01:32:49,840 --> 01:32:52,320
>> And every kid should try it at least

2196
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:52,800
once.

2197
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:54,880
>> I totally agree.

2198
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:58,950
>> I'm going to try.

2199
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,040
» All right. Moving along. Thank you very

2200
01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:04,320
much. Uh moving along. Open form. Um

2201
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:07,360
we'll start with Kayla McCcluskey

2202
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:11,910
talking about Clementa.

2203
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:12,560
» Yeah.

2204
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:13,360
>> Hi guys.

2205
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:14,000
>> Hey. Hi.

2206
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,639
>> Um, I am here tonight just as a followup

2207
01:33:16,639 --> 01:33:18,320
for our previous conversation with

2208
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:19,920
Mary'sville Township, uh, regarding

2209
01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:21,440
Clement Avenue. I know I've spoken with

2210
01:33:21,440 --> 01:33:23,520
a couple of you already. Um, there's a

2211
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:25,600
few other probably concerned people here

2212
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:27,679
as well. Um, and I guess what I'm asking

2213
01:33:27,679 --> 01:33:29,520
for is just kind of an update as to what

2214
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:31,760
you guys have done since that meeting,

2215
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:33,760
what has been discussed, what kind of

2216
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:35,600
the next steps or plans are in meeting

2217
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:38,320
with Mary'sville or with the county or

2218
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:40,159
wherever you guys are

2219
01:33:40,159 --> 01:33:42,639
>> talking about applying it. So that that

2220
01:33:42,639 --> 01:33:44,480
day that we had the meeting at

2221
01:33:44,480 --> 01:33:48,320
Mary'sville, David, I Jackie,

2222
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,719
Commissioner Moya, Commissioner Dietrich

2223
01:33:50,719 --> 01:33:52,560
met with Wright County to kind of

2224
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,320
discuss what's going on out there. Um I

2225
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,159
think we kind of maybe opened Ray

2226
01:33:58,159 --> 01:34:01,840
County's eyes a little bit more as to

2227
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:06,080
kind of the need to keep said portion of

2228
01:34:06,080 --> 01:34:09,920
the road open. Um, we also

2229
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:11,920
David talked with one of the board

2230
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,199
members this afternoon. Um, I think

2231
01:34:15,199 --> 01:34:17,360
we're all in agreement that we need to

2232
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:20,000
sit down and kind of have a kind of a

2233
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:24,560
workshop on what kind of cost sharing

2234
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:27,600
would look like going forward. Um, you

2235
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:29,760
know, obviously we were disappointed

2236
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:31,840
that they, you know, decided not to go

2237
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,480
for the local road improvement grant.

2238
01:34:34,480 --> 01:34:37,840
Um, you know, and then again, they their

2239
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:39,840
idea of cost sharing was just sending us

2240
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:42,800
an itemized bill for $5,200 for, you

2241
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:45,280
know, second quarter maintenance, which

2242
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:47,760
didn't quite sit well with us. You know,

2243
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:49,600
we expected some kind of dialogue on,

2244
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:51,280
you know, a percentage, not just, you

2245
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,920
know, a number. But those conversations

2246
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,800
are moving forward. Um, I do plan to

2247
01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:00,639
reach out to, um, board member Hickman

2248
01:35:00,639 --> 01:35:02,639
so we can set up some sort of, uh,

2249
01:35:02,639 --> 01:35:05,280
meeting. Um, you know, just kind of a

2250
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:08,080
couple of us here and one of them and

2251
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,400
just kind of hash it out. And

2252
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:11,600
>> so, we're just kind of waiting at this

2253
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:12,960
point to get a meeting with them to

2254
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:14,800
discuss kind of some other options.

2255
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,040
>> Um, in regards to the grant, I know that

2256
01:35:17,040 --> 01:35:18,719
kind of one of their ar other arguments

2257
01:35:18,719 --> 01:35:20,719
was that they don't know, you know, in

2258
01:35:20,719 --> 01:35:21,840
applying for that grant, what the

2259
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:23,440
maintenance is going to require even if

2260
01:35:23,440 --> 01:35:25,360
we they we were to get that grant and

2261
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:28,560
pave that part of the road. Is there any

2262
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:30,800
have you guys thought any more about any

2263
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:31,600
>> Yeah, I mean,

2264
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:33,760
>> different guidance on that. It's it's

2265
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,480
really been no secret that Mary'sville

2266
01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:37,920
really doesn't want that section of the

2267
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:39,520
road. They've been trying to get us to

2268
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,320
take it over for ever. Um, you know, the

2269
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,080
problem there is that we don't have the

2270
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:46,960
equipment to maintain that. Um, I don't

2271
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,440
see us purchasing a greater just to

2272
01:35:49,440 --> 01:35:50,639
handle that,

2273
01:35:50,639 --> 01:35:52,880
>> you know, section of road and yeah, it

2274
01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:55,280
doesn't seem like a good use of taxpayer

2275
01:35:55,280 --> 01:36:00,000
money. Um, but I mean, at least from my

2276
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:01,440
point of view, if we can get to that

2277
01:36:01,440 --> 01:36:04,560
point where it is paved and everything,

2278
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,639
I mean, I don't see a reason why we

2279
01:36:06,639 --> 01:36:08,080
wouldn't take over that section of the

2280
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:09,760
road, but, you know, that's obviously

2281
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:11,440
something that would have to come along

2282
01:36:11,440 --> 01:36:12,880
further in discussions.

2283
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,199
>> Okay. Um, and then I'm just hoping that

2284
01:36:15,199 --> 01:36:17,199
we can kind of keep the dialogue going

2285
01:36:17,199 --> 01:36:19,040
with with our residents, too, because I

2286
01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:20,320
feel like, you know, I've been living

2287
01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:21,440
there for 10 years and we've always

2288
01:36:21,440 --> 01:36:23,280
known it was a problem road. It's, you

2289
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:24,719
know, it's always needing to be graded

2290
01:36:24,719 --> 01:36:26,639
and we know it's not really the the

2291
01:36:26,639 --> 01:36:28,719
responsibility of the city. Although

2292
01:36:28,719 --> 01:36:30,080
calling on Mary'sville all the time to

2293
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:31,199
get out there and grade it doesn't feel

2294
01:36:31,199 --> 01:36:33,199
right either considering, you know, 90%

2295
01:36:33,199 --> 01:36:34,639
of the people on that road are paying

2296
01:36:34,639 --> 01:36:36,320
taxes in Montrose and not to Mary'sville

2297
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:36,800
Township,

2298
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:37,440
>> right?

2299
01:36:37,440 --> 01:36:39,520
>> So, just if there we could have some

2300
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,199
transparency in what's happening when

2301
01:36:41,199 --> 01:36:42,719
the meeting I mean we don't need a

2302
01:36:42,719 --> 01:36:44,719
playbyplay by any means, but it would be

2303
01:36:44,719 --> 01:36:46,080
nice rather than letting it kind of fall

2304
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:47,679
to the wayside which I feel like I mean

2305
01:36:47,679 --> 01:36:49,199
it's been at least 10 years it's been

2306
01:36:49,199 --> 01:36:51,199
going on so it hasn't been

2307
01:36:51,199 --> 01:36:53,040
>> Yeah. you know, and it's I mean, it's

2308
01:36:53,040 --> 01:36:55,600
really been kind of a a rushed

2309
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,400
situation. I mean, I got word winded

2310
01:36:58,400 --> 01:36:59,600
that they were going to shut it down,

2311
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:01,040
but yeah, that's kind of what July

2312
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,560
>> threw everything into motion. I think

2313
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:03,840
everyone is like, "Oh my goodness."

2314
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:05,280
>> They never reached out to the city to

2315
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,360
say, "Hey, this is what our plan is."

2316
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:09,199
They were just going to prove shutting

2317
01:37:09,199 --> 01:37:11,280
it off without telling us and just

2318
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:12,880
basically say, "Okay, now you have to

2319
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:14,639
pay to put up a sign that says it's

2320
01:37:14,639 --> 01:37:17,280
just, you know, no through street." And,

2321
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,360
you know, that really kind of didn't sit

2322
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:21,679
well with us. you know, I mean, there's

2323
01:37:21,679 --> 01:37:23,360
two roads heading north and south out of

2324
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:25,360
Montrose, and that's one of them.

2325
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:28,159
>> Have they uh kind of indicated you guys

2326
01:37:28,159 --> 01:37:29,440
that they're kind of backing off on that

2327
01:37:29,440 --> 01:37:31,600
right now until something can be

2328
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,400
>> That's agreed upon, or are they ready to

2329
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:35,600
go in there and put something up?

2330
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:36,560
>> I mean, that's kind of the indication

2331
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,040
that we've pushed to them that, hey,

2332
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:41,679
let's continue this conversation. I

2333
01:37:41,679 --> 01:37:43,840
don't think there's a need to rush to

2334
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:45,920
close it at this moment in time, you

2335
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:47,760
know, and I mean, again, that's going to

2336
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,280
be on them, though, to decide what they

2337
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:51,520
want. county say about them like

2338
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:53,280
threatening to close the road? Did they

2339
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:55,119
say that that I mean, can they can they

2340
01:37:55,119 --> 01:37:55,920
do that?

2341
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:56,560
>> Mhm.

2342
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:57,040
>> Okay.

2343
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:57,520
>> Yep.

2344
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,159
>> So, they could at any on any day we

2345
01:38:00,159 --> 01:38:01,360
could show up and it could just be

2346
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:02,000
closed out.

2347
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:02,639
>> Yep.

2348
01:38:02,639 --> 01:38:03,119
>> Okay.

2349
01:38:03,119 --> 01:38:04,560
>> Unfortunately, you know, and the

2350
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:05,760
conversations we've had with the county

2351
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,239
is, you know, at this point they

2352
01:38:08,239 --> 01:38:10,320
literally said they have no use for the

2353
01:38:10,320 --> 01:38:13,119
road. So, you know, which still just

2354
01:38:13,119 --> 01:38:14,800
blows my mind. They've got, you know,

2355
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:17,920
110 south of 12, you know, that goes all

2356
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:19,600
the way down. So what's the difference

2357
01:38:19,600 --> 01:38:21,840
between two mile stretch here? You know,

2358
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:24,560
why can't you know you do that there? So

2359
01:38:24,560 --> 01:38:26,719
there's ongoing conversations about

2360
01:38:26,719 --> 01:38:28,480
similar things that, you know, we can

2361
01:38:28,480 --> 01:38:32,239
work with the county on um to try to get

2362
01:38:32,239 --> 01:38:34,639
some other things going, but you know,

2363
01:38:34,639 --> 01:38:36,000
>> yeah,

2364
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:37,520
>> it's a battle update. I just hope that

2365
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,280
maybe at the next meeting if we could

2366
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:40,639
just if you guys could just include like

2367
01:38:40,639 --> 01:38:43,600
a quick update as to how meeting

2368
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:44,960
>> if there's anything if there's anything

2369
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:46,159
to update. Yes. Yeah.

2370
01:38:46,159 --> 01:38:47,600
>> And you can always reach out to me,

2371
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:50,159
Kayla. you know that you know come over

2372
01:38:50,159 --> 01:38:51,520
knock on my door and yell at me I don't

2373
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:53,679
care you know let's yell at you

2374
01:38:53,679 --> 01:38:55,440
>> yeah I know it's all good so but yeah

2375
01:38:55,440 --> 01:38:57,280
reach out to me and you know I will try

2376
01:38:57,280 --> 01:38:58,960
to keep you guys updated as possible you

2377
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,280
know anything that comes along it's just

2378
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:01,600
>> you know

2379
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:02,800
>> yeah I think some of us are just a

2380
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:04,560
little bit of a panic mode with our

2381
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,119
daily drive you know every day

2382
01:39:07,119 --> 01:39:09,520
>> and you know and not just residents I

2383
01:39:09,520 --> 01:39:12,080
mean emergency vehicles too and there's

2384
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:14,000
a lot of things hinging on this and

2385
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:15,600
>> yeah stuff that was brought up at the

2386
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:17,840
>> Yep township meeting was important It's

2387
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:18,480
correct. So

2388
01:39:18,480 --> 01:39:19,600
>> hopefully we can keep that going.

2389
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:19,920
>> Yeah.

2390
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:21,040
>> All right. Thank you.

2391
01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:23,760
>> Thanks.

2392
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,080
>> Anyone else want to speak on Clementa?

2393
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,960
>> I do. Um I'm Robert Kolki, 602 First

2394
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,520
Street North in Montrose. And I just

2395
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,360
kind of wanted to to to kind of repeat

2396
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:35,040
what she said because of course I live

2397
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,760
on the northwest corner of Montro.

2398
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,400
>> And you know, the dirt road is in bad

2399
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:44,400
shape. And I think the bottom line is I

2400
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,800
think we have a lot more people here.

2401
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,560
So, when it does start to get to the

2402
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:50,480
negotiation phase, I can think it'd be

2403
01:39:50,480 --> 01:39:52,880
reasonable that we kind of take take

2404
01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,040
most of the cost. And I know I'm a

2405
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:56,400
resident and I'm going to pay for part

2406
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,960
of it, too. But fact that we have almost

2407
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:04,719
4,000 people and we have a dirt just a crappy dirt road that's a major

2408
01:40:04,719 --> 01:40:08,239
artery to the north. Um cuz the second

2409
01:40:08,239 --> 01:40:11,280
point I wanted to to bring up is

2410
01:40:11,280 --> 01:40:13,760
602 First Street North is where I live

2411
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:15,679
and there are people that regularly go

2412
01:40:15,679 --> 01:40:19,280
by my house at 50 m an hour. I mean it's

2413
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:21,679
ridiculous, you know, and we're on a

2414
01:40:21,679 --> 01:40:25,119
curve, you know, so when we back out,

2415
01:40:25,119 --> 01:40:27,600
it's just the margin for error is just

2416
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:31,280
crazy. And anything to make that worse

2417
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:34,719
>> would just drive us nuts. So the second

2418
01:40:34,719 --> 01:40:37,280
point is it kind of piggybacks off the

2419
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:40,560
Clementa issue is the speeds that are in

2420
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,320
the kind of the edges of town like kind

2421
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:44,719
of where I live are getting ridiculous

2422
01:40:44,719 --> 01:40:46,480
and I think that we just need to realize

2423
01:40:46,480 --> 01:40:49,440
that and that we haven't had an accident

2424
01:40:49,440 --> 01:40:51,280
but we have teenage someone was talking

2425
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,040
about teenage drivers we have some of

2426
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,440
those too and just the margins for

2427
01:40:55,440 --> 01:40:57,520
errors that we have is just so low and

2428
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:03,600
so the point is just the speeds that are that are you know, being

2429
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,600
utilized around the city streets. Yep.

2430
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:06,719
>> So,

2431
01:41:06,719 --> 01:41:09,119
>> you know, and that's part of our my at

2432
01:41:09,119 --> 01:41:11,119
least my whole thing with shutting off

2433
01:41:11,119 --> 01:41:13,360
Clementa is Yes. Now, all that traffic

2434
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:16,239
is going to route down first and you

2435
01:41:16,239 --> 01:41:17,840
know, like you mentioned, I mean, we're

2436
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:19,840
going to get more cars going down there

2437
01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,639
and obviously you just sit on Clementa

2438
01:41:22,639 --> 01:41:25,119
and you can see people don't recognize

2439
01:41:25,119 --> 01:41:27,199
the 30 mph speed limit. So, you know,

2440
01:41:27,199 --> 01:41:28,320
they're going to come speeding through

2441
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:30,719
there. Um, and you know, just

2442
01:41:30,719 --> 01:41:33,600
maintenance overall. I mean, you put

2443
01:41:33,600 --> 01:41:35,920
that many cars back down first and then,

2444
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:37,199
you know, what's that road going to look

2445
01:41:37,199 --> 01:41:38,159
like?

2446
01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:39,600
>> Yeah. I think you'll have to add stop

2447
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:41,920
signs, too. It gets even worse. You

2448
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:42,880
know, you're going to have to do

2449
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:44,719
something like that and then it t just

2450
01:41:44,719 --> 01:41:47,119
takes forever to get from point.

2451
01:41:47,119 --> 01:41:49,199
>> Yeah. So, there I mean, it's not just,

2452
01:41:49,199 --> 01:41:51,119
you know, the residents that live in

2453
01:41:51,119 --> 01:41:54,159
Whitetail and Forest Creek that use that

2454
01:41:54,159 --> 01:41:55,840
section of the road. We understand that

2455
01:41:55,840 --> 01:41:58,159
it's, you know, all residents. It's, you

2456
01:41:58,159 --> 01:42:00,159
know, people from Woodland. I mean, when

2457
01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:02,320
I go that way, I see more cars coming

2458
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:04,880
south than going north. I mean, you got

2459
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:07,360
XL coming down there, too. So, I mean,

2460
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:09,840
there's a lot of use on that road. And,

2461
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:10,960
you know, that's kind of what we're

2462
01:42:10,960 --> 01:42:13,280
trying to avoid getting that shut down.

2463
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:13,760
So,

2464
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:15,199
>> all right. Thanks. Thanks for your time.

2465
01:42:15,199 --> 01:42:16,000
>> Thank you.

2466
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:18,719
>> You

2467
01:42:18,719 --> 01:42:21,520
>> anyone else?

2468
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,440
>> I just have a question.

2469
01:42:23,440 --> 01:42:26,239
>> Of course.

2470
01:42:26,239 --> 01:42:27,520
>> At least you owned it.

2471
01:42:27,520 --> 01:42:27,920
>> What?

2472
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:32,320
>> At least you owned it. I know every time. Um, so you guys are we

2473
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:33,920
understand that nobody wants to close

2474
01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:36,159
Comment. We get that. But at what cost

2475
01:42:36,159 --> 01:42:38,560
do the citizens of Montro want to pay to

2476
01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:40,560
keep that road open

2477
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,159
>> because how much it would cost?

2478
01:42:42,159 --> 01:42:44,080
>> Well, right now, so we're from Highway

2479
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:47,360
12 to the dirt. Okay. So, what Forest

2480
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:49,520
Creek area and we're taking care of that

2481
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:53,520
road in 2027 at around 2.2 million.

2482
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,920
That's on the city of Montro. So, do we

2483
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:59,600
have that money to also maintain

2484
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,440
the dirt part of it? I mean, how much do

2485
01:43:01,440 --> 01:43:02,960
we want to put in

2486
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,520
>> is the 2.2 million the rebuild

2487
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:06,320
>> estimate? Yes.

2488
01:43:06,320 --> 01:43:08,800
>> Yep.

2489
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:10,960
>> I mean, I we we I know it's going to

2490
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:12,880
cost us all, including me, a lot of

2491
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:15,520
money. But I think we got it put most of

2492
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:17,199
it in. I mean, how many people live

2493
01:43:17,199 --> 01:43:19,840
there? Six on that dirt road. Six.

2494
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:20,800
Seven.

2495
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:21,840
>> There's five.

2496
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:22,159
>> Five.

2497
01:43:22,159 --> 01:43:25,119
houses. Five houses. I think at

2498
01:43:25,119 --> 01:43:27,760
this point keeping it dirt fine like we

2499
01:43:27,760 --> 01:43:30,639
can take that loss but but we're closing

2500
01:43:30,639 --> 01:43:34,000
off and right I don't think why how is

2501
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,639
that even how's the cops going to get to

2502
01:43:36,639 --> 01:43:40,159
us that adds and peace.
