9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:54,800
um, first order after that is the
approval of the agenda. Um, do I have a

10
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:59,680
motion to approve tonight's agenda?
>> So moved.

11
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,960
» Moved by second and

12
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:08,240
» Second.
>> All right. All in favor of the motion to

» All oppose.

15
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,520
It is approved. And I saw the sheriff
car out there.

16
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,840
Yeah,
>> I guess he hasn't come in yet. So,

17
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:31,840
um, when he gets in, we'll go ahead and,
uh, give him a moment to review the

18
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:39,040
sheriff's report and he has anything to
add to it. So, [snorts] um, we are going

19
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:43,040
to go ahead and open the, uh, should I
motion to open the public hearing? Okay.

20
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Um,
next item of business is the public

21
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:55,479
hearing for comprehensive plan. Um, I'd
like to go ahead and see if we have a

22
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,479
motion to open the public hearing.

23
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:05,840
» Moved by Tom. Second.
>> Okay.

24
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,440
All right. All in favor of beginning the
706. Right.

25
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:15,200
» Okay.
All in favor of

26
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,599
opening the public hearing for the
comprehensive plan say I.

27
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:25,360
» I.
>> All opposed.

28
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:30,800
All right. So at 7:02
uh we are beginning the public hearing

29
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:38,840
for the comprehensive plan.
Do we have anyone who wants to speak on

30
00:02:34,959 --> 00:02:38,840
the comprehensive plan?

31
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,840
Okay,
certainly it's out there. Um, you know,

32
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:57,040
uh, your comment doesn't have to happen
during this forum. If you have any thing

33
00:02:54,160 --> 00:03:00,720
that you want to say, just go ahead and,
uh, bring it to our attention. Um, so

34
00:03:00,127 --> 00:03:04,959
[clears throat]
seeing as though there's no further

35
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:09,760
comment, um, I'm looking for a motion to
close the public hearing.

36
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:15,360
for the comprehensive plan.
>> So move by Suka and second

37
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,920
» second.
>> Okay.

38
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:23,920
All in favor of closing the public
hearing for the comprehensive plan

39
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:31,920
signal by saying I.
>> I. And all opposed.

40
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,720
All right. So the public hearing is now
closed at 7:03.

41
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:46,640
Um we have uh next section is on the
agenda is citizen comments. Um

42
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:52,239
two sections of this agenda related
items. Um there is a 5m minute limit and

43
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:58,799
then there's also after that non-aggenda
items and there is a fivem minute limit.

44
00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:04,080
If you are on the agenda and you are
going to speak on your item at that

45
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:10,920
point no reason to comment at this time
of the meeting. So, do we have any

46
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:10,920
public comments

47
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:21,759
» related?
>> Uh, no. Um, nothing. Uh, any agenda

48
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:31,000
related comments?
>> None. Okay. Um, and before we get to

49
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,000
non-aggenda, go ahead and let Deputy

50
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,639
» Deputy Schmidz.
>> Sometimes I'm in here, sometimes I'm

51
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:41,040
not. Uh, looks like we had 14 calls for
service for you guys and we met our 43

52
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,160
hours. Were you guys one of the towns
that went up in hours or no?

53
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:51,080
» We had a couple I think this time that

54
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,680
» any questions or concerns or anything
for me?

55
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:04,639
» No. Do you have uh anything?
>> Nothing that looked I haven't heard of

56
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,600
anything. Um,
but nothing on here either that looked

57
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,320
too
out of ordinary or anything like that

58
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,919
for us up here.
>> Well, between now and the next meeting,

59
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,560
we are going to have the beginning of
the school year. So,

60
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,039
» the end of the month.
>> Yeah. When do you start back up?

61
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,039
» 24th.
>> It is the 20. Is it 24th? 25th.

62
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,160
» 4th. Okay.
>> 24th.

63
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,560
» It's the last Monday of the month. So,
>> okay.

64
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:41,759
» Um, yeah. So, if there's any way that
you can have people out here to kind of

65
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,440
keep it running smooth at least to start
the year.

66
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:46,240
» Yeah,
>> I appreciate that.

67
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,199
» Monday the 24th. I'll send an email out
so everybody's aware that they're

68
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:55,280
starting up school and see if we can get
some presents out here during beginning

69
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,289
and when they get out.
>> Okay.

70
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,400
» Yeah. You have a lot of new drivers.
>> [clears throat]

71
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,600
» Why is everybody laughing?
>> You guys want

72
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:07,919
coffee?
>> Okay.

73
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:15,080
» All right.
>> Got nothing for me. I will head out.

74
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,080
» Thank you so much.

75
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:23,120
» All right. So, moving on to non-aggenda
items. Is there anyone who would like to

76
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,880
make comment?
>> I do.

77
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,360
» On non-aggenda,
>> you'll stand over here.

78
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:33,600
Um, and could I get you to state your
name?

79
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:38,800
» Brian Menson, 315 Heart Street,
beautiful town.

80
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Um, so a couple issues. One being the
traffic control in Roosevelt. Um, this

81
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,680
summer, or I should say the lack of, um,
as probably everybody here knows, I

82
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:52,000
worked for City Marion. Engineering is
what I do. Traffic control is what I do.

83
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:57,680
Um,
a couple things. First of all, I was

84
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:04,160
told that the city supplies a contractor
with traffic control. That's a terrible

85
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:08,960
idea. That puts 100% liability on the
city of Albernet.

86
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:15,599
Um, I'm not saying how we do it at work
is the right way to do it, but what we

87
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:17,840
do is contractors must submit plans.
I've already talked to Bethany about all

88
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:21,520
this, okay?
>> She's all she's well aware, okay? Just

89
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:25,759
told me to come address you guys.
Anyway, contractors have submit traffic

90
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,360
control plans to us. They are approved
by one of our staff members, usually an

91
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,479
engineer, but any of us can approve them
because we're all certified. MAC, it

92
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:41,360
wouldn't be a bad idea for you to go to
a DOT traffic control meeting. Um, MUTCD

93
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:48,240
is a traffic control book. Everybody
uses Grant, you know what it is. Um,

94
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:52,479
like for example, we had semis coming
down Longworth and Howard streets. Those

95
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:58,160
streets are seven inch pave. They are
not pinned. They're not made for that

96
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,240
kind of traffic. But in defense of the
truck drivers, they don't know where to

97
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720
go.
>> Yeah,

98
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:10,400
» there's no detours. There should be
detour signs. Roosevelt C Avenue, County

99
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:13,840
Home Road, Albernet, up north here, and
even out at Highway 13. And the problem

100
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,319
with that is then you're going to have
to get permits from the county to put

101
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:24,240
that traffic control up. It's not that
big of a deal. probably 25 bucks. But

102
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:28,000
the contractor have to pay for all that.
Like I said, they submit the traffic

103
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:32,240
control plan.
They pay I don't know you guys. I think

104
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:38,399
you guys have a old harmless. They they
pay a fee. Typically Bethany said she

105
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:40,800
looked into all this and has a plan for
you for next meeting.

106
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:48,080
» Great.
>> So anyway, next thing is the backyards

107
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:52,959
of Willow and Longorth.
This has been an issue since I lived on

108
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Willow. It's my understanding and and I
have a copy of the plans that the city

109
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:03,600
had drawn, but the city had an
engineering firm draw plans to

110
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:09,279
help drain that. Well, fortunately, I
looked at them and called Bethany

111
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:14,480
because you can't just put pipe on
people's private property.

112
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,200
That easement is a utility easement.
It's not a city easement. That doesn't

113
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:24,080
mean the city can't purchase or I don't
even know if they'd have to purchase

114
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:28,880
an easement back there. Put some storm
sewer in.

115
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,320
It It's a It's a crappy deal. Um once
again, at work, we have ordinances in

116
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:37,360
place to make sure that stuff doesn't
happen. But there was a pipe put in who

117
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:41,200
knows when. When the development was
first put in,

118
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,800
the city most likely never knew about
it. And now that has been pinned on to

119
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,480
all those residents. It is also state
law. You cannot discharge water

120
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:55,920
[clears throat]
onto your neighbor, which is currently

121
00:09:52,160 --> 00:10:03,240
happening. It It's a bad deal.
I encourage the council to look into

122
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,240
this and to continue continue to pursue

123
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:11,519
anything. It's bad. I just mowed Paul
Kramer's yard. I do every week. And even

124
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,480
in his little backyard, which is like
top of the hill, my bucket stuck.

125
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,519
So
>> yeah, it is something that we this has

126
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:26,800
not gone to rest with us. We are still
pursuing it. Just I know it's not a

127
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:31,440
solution right now and you know,
especially with us getting rain every

128
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:36,640
day and our yards looking like jungles.
No matter what we do, it's not really

129
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:42,399
anything to ease your mind. But we are
still pursuing this and trying to find

130
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:47,680
the best way to go about
getting a solution to this. Um,

131
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:52,959
» yeah, I know the plants that were draw
as soon as I saw them like are you

132
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:56,560
trying to drain 120 acres? It was way
oversized.

133
00:10:54,880 --> 00:11:03,360
My opinion, it should be a perforated
pipe that wasn't even perforated.

134
00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:09,920
And it's $100,000 project. I feel you
could tone that down to a $30,000

135
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:12,959
project if it was done right. So
that's my 10 cents worth. I thank you

136
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:14,880
for your time.
>> Thank you for coming in.

137
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,959
» I'm going to go home.
>> All right. Take care. Have a good night.

138
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:19,959
» Thanks.

139
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,440
» Do we have any other nonaggenda?
Okay.

140
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:35,040
» Firstary
and question one.

141
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:40,880
I'm not sure but uh who does it but
recently they changed the laws on speed

142
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:46,399
limits and they went up to 60 on
highways 60 m hour and I don't know who

143
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,800
does that. I don't know the sheriff or
you guys. It's

144
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:55,279
right after the fire department, so
might not be any city. I don't know

145
00:11:52,480 --> 00:12:00,800
where city limit is, but uh it just the
only one that way is still 55. And I

146
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:05,760
know because the schools on the same
road as Roosevelt or is out here at 60

147
00:12:04,438 --> 00:12:10,079
[clears throat] and over there, you
know, if you go out towards

148
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:15,519
I just thought that was interesting why
that one would change. Yeah, I'm not

149
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,839
real sure what their um criteria is.
It's not that's not our speed limit to

150
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:24,399
change out there.
>> Okay.

151
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:27,200
» Um but so it falls on on county, I
believe.

152
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:31,440
» They're just putting stickers over the
>> Yeah. And so

153
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:36,000
» other signs what they're doing.
>> Just one other thing. Uh, First Street

154
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,959
is a lot of traffic, I think, just
because the gas station, everything's

155
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:46,639
right there. And a lot of school kids
like to tear around First Street, but

156
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:52,320
it's uh in front of my house there's
probably a 12 or 14 foot where it's just

157
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:59,600
disintegrating. The top levels are
disintegrating. Um, I would look forward

158
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,279
to getting it, you know, worked on, but
um, I can't remember name the street has

159
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:08,720
been done down here. It was probably
done 10 years ago. I just moved back

160
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:14,639
here 10 years, but uh, I just didn't
know what the criteria was for what how

161
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:19,109
bad. [clears throat]
And then I had I came last summer

162
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,160
because there's a huge there's a
[clears throat]

163
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:30,240
there's a tea right there for Third
Avenue and First and there was like a 6

164
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:36,720
in pothole in the very corner you cuz
everybody turns right you know there

165
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:40,800
from to go back out Roosevelt and uh you
guys did a really good job fixing I mean

166
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:45,519
the same day you guys fixed it. I just
want to say appreciate that. But, uh,

167
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:51,760
it's just that road's getting so worn
down. I just didn't I just noticed in

168
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:55,440
the last year or so, but know
>> um, is that the area that we're looking

169
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,240
at?
>> I think we're looking at Third Street.

170
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,800
» Third Street.
>> Maybe from there north. I'm not exactly

171
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:06,160
sure where that stretch is.
>> Okay. I know that.

172
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:10,399
» I don't think it's
First Street. I think third going north

173
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:16,399
and south there.
That was one of the first projects that

174
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:20,399
we were going to do and then
you know definitely

175
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:26,560
uh we'll keep an eye out for the second
one but we are working on plans for

176
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:33,920
street improvements. Um there are quite
a few streets obviously that need to be

177
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:38,720
upgraded, redone. So, um, but it is
something that is in the works and we're

178
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:43,399
just
trying to find the best way to go about

179
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,399
it.

180
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:54,639
Right. Thank you.
Okay. Are there any other comments on

181
00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:57,680
non-aggenda related items?
>> My name's Kevin Otto. I've been the

182
00:14:56,079 --> 00:15:02,399
manager at Gibby down here pretty much
since we opened and we're working on a

183
00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:06,079
deal. I'm going to purchase it from him.
I've submitted the application for the

184
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,360
liquor license, but it just just got
submitted.

185
00:15:07,839 --> 00:15:17,920
The goal is for me to take over at the
beginning of October. So, I just didn't

186
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:23,199
really know if I needed to come or if uh
you know, since it just got submitted,

187
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,839
if there was a way to speed up getting
make sure it goes through by the

188
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:29,120
beginning of October rather than waiting
for the response meeting.

189
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:34,360
I don't know
>> don't know how

190
00:15:34,695 --> 00:15:36,715
[laughter]

191
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:48,399
apply for your liquor license through
the state portal. It will send an email

192
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:52,720
to us to go and review that. So as soon
as I get that notification,

193
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:57,600
then it will go on the agenda for
approval. And then as soon as it's

194
00:15:54,560 --> 00:16:02,320
approved, then I can go back in and
mark approved and then it's good to go.

195
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:07,360
So they've submitted it, I should be
>> and then I approve it.

196
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:12,560
» Well, yeah, I go soon and shouldn't
>> but to Yeah. So there's a chain of

197
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:17,440
events that happen, but it because I I
we get notification that it's out there

198
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:23,279
to look at, it'll go on the agenda and
as soon as they approve it.

199
00:16:19,839 --> 00:16:28,800
So hopefully since it's resubmitted,
we'll be getting that shortly and it can

200
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:34,160
get on September's agenda.
>> Yeah. Let us know if there's any hiccups

201
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:39,680
in the process that you hear about that
may have it missed the September

202
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,120
meeting. Not sure the date off the top
of my head.

203
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,279
» September 10th.
>> September 10th. Okay.

204
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:48,279
» Doesn't get by then, we can always call
special.

205
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:56,000
All right. Well,
>> at least I appreciate all of the heads

206
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,399
up so I don't
>> Oh, yeah.

207
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:03,000
» Yeah.
So, I don't I don't know. It's pretty

208
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
good.

209
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:12,480
» Good deal. What's up? All right. Are
there any other non-aggenda

210
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:18,720
related comments?
All right.

00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:26,640
Um so next item here is the um mayoral
proclamation um for the annual fire se

212
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:30,880

so

213
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:37,919
I'll go ahead and read that proclamation
and if we have any questions or comment

214
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:43,919
after that we'll go from there. But um
city of Valberet mayor proclamation

215
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:49,120
annual five season standown day. Whereas
Valor Incorporated in partnership with

219
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:13,840
And whereas standown is a term used in
times of war in which exhausted combat

220
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:18,720
units come off the battlefield to rest
and recover in a place of safety. And

221
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:25,919
whereas according to the US Department
of Veteran Affairs, the first standown

222
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:32,080
day was organized in 1988 by a group of
Vietnam veterans in San Diego. And

223

housing services, legal assistance,
mental health treatment, and substance

229
00:19:03,679 --> 00:19:13,280
abuse counseling. And whereas standown
has standowns have been used as an

230
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:19,919
effective tool in reaching out to
homeless veterans nationally, reaching

231
00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:26,559
more than 200,000 veterans and their and
their family members. And now therefore,

232
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:32,559

237
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:06,760
So
are any of you familiar with that TJ?

238
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,760
» Yeah.

239
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:16,080
They normally hold one at Beth Memorial
Stadium and it's an overnight thing.

240
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:20,799
Normally it's a big Yeah. community
involvement. So it's cool. That's really

241
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:27,679
it.
And so they do that on the

242
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:32,080
uh on September 3rd.
>> So it sounds right.

243
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:38,720

Matack [clears throat] uh cornhole

247
00:20:52,159 --> 00:21:00,960
tournament and do I have someone here to
speak on that? There we go.

248
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:04,000
» Uh my owner gives you they're going to
be uh closing down the street. They're

249
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,400
going to do a bags tournament
approximately 32 teams. I don't know the

250
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,760
you know how many teams we'll have on
the streets at that time. Probably I'd

251
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,440
say eight to 10 teams and then we'll
just keep rotating teams out. But it

252
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:20,720
will take most of the day. We're going
to do a barbecue for him and uh just uh

253
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:23,760
shut the street down for him. So,
>> okay.

254
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:30,640
» I know our what is our normal limit is
uh is it like 8 8:00 p.m. or 11:00 p.m.?

255
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:34,799
I don't know what we did last filter
until

256
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:38,360
» 11 p.m. Okay. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Um,

257
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:46,880
and the application says, uh,
hoping to be cleared out by 3:30 or so,

258
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,240
» also in the afternoon, so that'll be
good.

259
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,240
» I didn't want to stay there all night
either.

260
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,440
» Good deal. So, are you familiar with the
tournament? Like, who's registered? And

261
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,640
» I am not.
>> Okay.

262
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:05,039
» I'm just staying here for Celestea. Once
we get we can get you names if that's

263
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:11,039
what you want.
>> No, I was just curiosity if how how soon

264
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,960
in advance people had to sign up for it.
So,

265
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,240
» well, this came about about two weeks
ago because their original golf outing

266
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:20,880
did uh decided not to do the golf
outing, so they moved to this.

267
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:25,520
» Oh, cool. So,
don't need a set of clubs to throw a

268
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:29,919
bag. So, though I do have a set of
clubs, and I've felt like throwing my

269
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:36,480
bag a couple times.
>> Um, all right. Only thing we'll still

270
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:42,000
need is the
insurance liability

271
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:46,799
additional
insurance needed for the just so it

272
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:50,080
specifically says this event. Is that
what you're looking for? Yeah, because

273
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,600
it would be the same. But I can do that.
Yep. I said

274
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,600
» I'm glad you're here.

275
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:09,280
» All right. So, um I am seeking a motion
to approve the special event permit for

276
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:14,320
Albert Metpek uh cornhole tournament um
pending the

277
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:18,360
uh receiving of the insurance
certificate. So,

278
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,280
do anybody want
>> I make a motion.

279
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,280
» Okay.

280
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,600
» Second.
>> Second. Okay.

281
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:37,679
All right. So, all those in favor of
approving the special event permit for

282
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:41,120
the Albert Matt Peek cornhole tournament
signify by saying I.

283
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:48,159
» I.
>> All opposed. Nay.

284
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:56,960
And it passes. So, all right. Next item
here is resolution 08 20261

285
00:23:54,466 --> 00:24:06,159
[snorts] adopting the city of Albernet
flag display policy. Um this ties into

286
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:12,159
the uh state's mandate that federal or
government buildings

287
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:22,000
have a flag pole display of the flag um
at their locations. So um we have put

288
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:32,120
together a policy uh that reflects that
um that is located in the packet here.

289
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,120
Um is there anything that

290
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,039
mention in that?

291
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:47,120
» All right. So
um I will go ahead and read the

292
00:24:43,919 --> 00:24:51,360
resolution and
after that seek motion. So resolution

293
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,760
08202601
adopting the city of Albernet flag

294
00:24:53,440 --> 00:25:01,600
display policy. Whereas the city of
Albernet has installed a permanent flag

295
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:07,520
pole at city hall for the display of the
United States and Iowa state flags. And

296
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:12,720
whereas Iowa law requires the display of
the United States and Iowa state flags

297
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:17,200
at public buildings under specified
conditions. And whereas the city council

298
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:22,400
finds it desirable to establish a
written policy governing the display,

299
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:27,840
care, maintenance, and half staff
procedures at city hall to ensure

300
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:34,559
consistency and compliance with
applicable law. Now therefore, it be

301
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:39,520
resolved by the city council and city of
the city of Albernet, Iowa, that the

302
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:45,440
city of Albernet flag display policy
attached hereto as exhibit A is hereby

303
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:54,120
approved and adopted.
Do we have a motion to approve the

304
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:54,120
resolution as read? So move. Good.

305
00:25:54,159 --> 00:26:02,640
And then do I have a second?

is adopted and flag pole is not yet out

311
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:37,200
there. Is it?
>> No. I sent an email to NESper last week.

312
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:41,279
I'm trying to figure out when they were
going to schedule it because they were

313
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:48,000
waiting for the deposit to be received,
which they have. Um, they were supposed

314
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:53,200
to meet yesterday to go over scheduling
for upcoming projects. So, I sent

315
00:26:50,559 --> 00:27:00,640
another email today to follow up and
figure out what the timing says on that.

316
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:05,919
» Well, it's not really good weather to be
putting metal objects into the sky right

317
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:09,799
now. So, I don't blame him for maybe
putting it off a little bit.

318
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:20,080
» All right. Thank you, Mike. So,

Um,

00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:37,679

And so, um, [clears throat]

322
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:42,159
is there anything that you wanted to
mention about these fund transfers?

323
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:47,600
» Um, no. Well, these are just the same
amounts that have been carried over the

324
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:56,240
last couple of years. Um, we talked
about potentially

325
00:27:50,320 --> 00:28:01,200
revising the the lost one. Um, but until
I get some numbers figured out with the

326
00:27:58,399 --> 00:28:04,720
new system, I just left it as is, we can
always

327
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,960
do another transfer later.
>> Okay.

328
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:14,000
» If we need to amend it or something
similar.

329
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:18,559
» Yeah. So, um I will go ahead and uh is
there any other fir further questions or

330
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:26,360
comments on this before I read the

331
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:26,360
All right. So, resolution 0820262

351
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:33,919

>> Yeah. So, Deb Wheelfield uh recently

00:30:29,919 --> 00:30:39,120

in her

I don't know if it's going to be an

00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:56,559
ongoing one or if it's just a one time,
but they're um covering the cost of the

questions or discussion before I read

um deals with the adoption of the 2026

396
00:34:29,839 --> 00:34:37,919
comprehensive plan for the city of
Alberet, Iowa. Um

397
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:43,359
I know that we've talked about uh the
comprehensive plan. It's been out there

398
00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:49,280
for a while. Um,
is there any additional comment or

399
00:34:45,919 --> 00:34:53,599
anything that
>> we did take the comprehensive plan to

400
00:34:50,879 --> 00:34:58,000
PNZ on July 29th? I mean, a couple
recommendations come out of PNZ. Those

401
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
recommendations have been reflected and
as you look through your binders that I

402
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:07,680
put in front of you, they'll be kind of
off the side and track changes.

403
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:11,839
There wasn't any major changes other
than we did have some mixed use on the

404
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:16,440
future use map that I printed in front
of you in front of that orange

405
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:29,200
nearer the states. Um that just allows
more of a medium density um housing

406
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:32,400
to buffer between that mixed use and the
residential.

407
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:37,960
That was a suggestion from one of the
pencil

408
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,960
to back the companies.

409
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:49,440
» That's a nice product.
>> We were Dave and I were here when we did

410
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:54,079
the last one and
at that time I remember well we need a

411
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:58,800
we need a plan so we can do some things
and I think that was the main emphasis

412
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,880
at that time. This one's really looking
forward to doing some things with some

413
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,839
concrete details.
>> Yeah, I think your last plan was around

414
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:10,920
the time where the state had actually
mandated the community to do so.

415
00:36:14,079 --> 00:36:20,560
» We've also learned a lot over the last
15 years, right?

416
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:25,760
» So, there's a lot of actionable
actionable items in here. Um, this is a

417
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:31,040
20-year comprehensive plan, right? So
they don't all have to be done on day

418
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:34,160
one. Some communities think they do, but
but it gives you the stair steps and the

419
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:37,960
and the power to make those things
happen if you choose to.

420
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:48,079
» So when Dave is still sitting here in 20
years, he can look back on

421
00:36:45,839 --> 00:36:54,635
» I hope I'm here in 20 years.
>> Yeah,

422
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,635
still will be. [laughter]

423
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,530
As long as you're only thinking about
it, [laughter]

424
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:09,119
» answer any questions. If adoption is uh
approved tonight, I will go through and

425
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:13,640
remove the draft wording and everything
and send out a formal final copy.

426
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:20,960
» And will there be physical copies like
here at the office or here at city hall?

427
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:26,960
Yes, we will do up some physical copies
as well as we will work on a list of um

428
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:32,880
area developers and um there's a list
the state mandates that you send it out

429
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:36,880
to is one of those people. So, we'll
work with either Vicki or we'll just

430
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:40,000
take care of sending figure out what
they prefer.

431
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:44,079
» Okay.
>> But it goes out to like Scman's one that

432
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,599
stands out, right? Like your your
typical developers in the area. that

433
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:51,200
goes out to those so that they know if
they choose to come to Albernet how

434
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,200
Albernet wants to see that ground
developed.

435
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:04,480
» Explain to me again I'm didn't quite get
the orange on the map.

436
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:11,680
» So the oranges are more of a medium
density. So allow for like duplexes

437
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:16,640
or smaller lot with lots to get um more
houses in the same amount of area. Um,

438
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:20,320
typically you use that as a buffer
between the mixed use, which the mixed

439
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:25,200
use is a lot of times commercial on the
bottom, residential apartments on the

440
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:30,560
top. Um, so then it buffers it between
that and the single family, just your

441
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:35,359
normal homes.
You just kind of step it out that way so

442
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:39,200
that your residential single family
homes aren't right next to that

443
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:45,960
commercial property.
>> I see.

444
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,960
Okay. Thank you. Any

445
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:54,440

00:38:59,359 --> 00:39:08,800

461
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:34,720
of Albernet
and shall serve as a guide for future

462
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:40,560
growth, land use decisions, capital
improvements, and community development.

463
00:40:37,839 --> 00:40:46,640
The city clerk is directed to maintain
the adapted comprehensive plan on file

464
00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:51,920
and make it available to city officials,
boards, commissions, developers, and the

465
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:59,040
public for reference in future planning
and land use decisions. Pass this day,

466
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:04,160
this 13th day of August, 2026.
Do I have a motion to approve the

467
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:09,160
resolution as it?
>> I move we adopt resolution 082026-04.

468
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:18,920
» All right.
Motion from Trump and second.

469
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,920
» Second.

470
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:33,119
» All right. So um
on the approval of resolution 08202604

471
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:39,839
please signify approval by saying I.
>> All those opposed? Nay.

472
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:45,880
Resolution passes.
All right.

473
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,880
And

474
00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:54,920
next item here, let's just
get them through here.

475
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:06,240
Next item is approving annual renewal
rates with EMC insurance.

476
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:09,720
Did you want to go ahead and speak to
that?

477
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,720
» I do.

478
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:23,880
Looking at the renewal for this coming
up year, um we went from 42,969

479
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,880
to 46,743.

480
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:33,200
Um what we see is is there's inflation
built on the property side of policy

481
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:37,920
that inflates property coverages up
every year just like your homeowners.

482
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:46,480
Um, with that being said, that's
probably about $900 of that increase.

483
00:42:41,599 --> 00:42:50,720
Um, we're also on the fire department,
they default the volunteer members at

484
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:58,560
$300
per member in the past and that has been

485
00:42:54,079 --> 00:43:05,760
increased to $500 per member. So that's
going to be um an increase of payroll of

486
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:10,760
like $4,000.
That rate though is like $5722

487
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:20,480
per 100. So you're looking at there was
$2,200

488
00:43:16,319 --> 00:43:27,119
of rate basically there for that
increase. So the biggest hit this year

489
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:33,119
was really the work hump due to them
reclassifying

490
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:39,119
that payroll for the volunteer volunteer
fire departments members on that. Um

491
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:45,119
another increase was the linebacker
policy. The linebacker policy is an

492
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:51,119
employment practice liability.
We did have a claim underneath that

493
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:56,400
policy for wrongful termination.
We did expect, you know, that policy to

494
00:43:53,920 --> 00:44:01,760
go up, but it did go up across the whole
state.

495
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:06,720
It's becoming a more prevalent claim
that they're seeing where, you know,

496
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:10,280
employees who are being terminated are
coming back in

497
00:44:10,319 --> 00:44:18,000
filing like suit against, you know, the
employers. So, with that being said, EMC

498
00:44:15,359 --> 00:44:23,520
did have to take a rate increase as well
on that. So, [clears throat]

499
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:30,319
um, some ways to
maybe help with that premium is that the

500
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:38,560
policy currently on that linebacker has
a $2,500 deductible.

501
00:44:33,599 --> 00:44:44,000
So, we can increase that to 3,000. It
only changes at $156.

502
00:44:41,599 --> 00:44:51,040
Um, you can change it to 5,000, which
would save you 467.

503
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:57,440
7500 would be$855, which brings you back
down to where you were probably at

504
00:44:53,280 --> 00:45:03,960
before is raising that deductible. I
don't know that if you really want to go

505
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:03,960
that high or not, but it is a

506
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:13,319
an option,
you know, versus a $2,500

507
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,319
deductible. It would be 7500.

508
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:24,640
Something to something to think on
that. We also

509
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:28,880
um every year look at driving records
and we did have a driver that is not

510
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:34,079
qualified to be driving anymore for the
city. You can only have if you have

511
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:39,359
three or more violations.
They do ask for that driver to be

512
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:45,440
excluded. I have talked to Bethany in
regards to this and I believe she is

513
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:50,560
working on that directly with that
employee

514
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:58,160
and handling that.
But just keep in mind, you know,

515
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:04,400
fire department drivers to city
employees, you know, we can't we can't

516
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:10,319
have people out there who have suspended
driver's license or have multiple,

517
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:14,160
you know, tickets on their driving
record. They do take that very

518
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:20,640
seriously.
So, I did tell Bethany that, hey, if we

519
00:46:18,079 --> 00:46:26,000
do a new hire, maybe, you know, holler
at me, let me run the motor vehicle

520
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:32,640
report and see how it looks. The
circumstance was came after the hire.

521
00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:38,079
So, with that being said, unfortunately,
he either

522
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:42,960
can be excluded or
something else needs arrangements need

523
00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:48,319
to be made here on that. So, um I also
talked to Vicki in regards to the park

524
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:54,480
that's being built. There is automatic
liability in the policy for the park,

525
00:46:51,359 --> 00:46:59,680
but the question is is do you want any
coverage for builder's risk for the

526
00:46:57,359 --> 00:47:04,520
property that's standing out there right
now? So if the storm would come today,

527
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:11,839
there's no coverage for that. Somebody
would vandalize it. There's no coverage

528
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:16,480
for where where you're at with the
project currently.

529
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:20,400
» When will that become insurable when
it's completely done then?

530
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:25,520
» So you can do a builder's risk for it
and then it just converts over to

531
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:31,440
um property out open.
>> That is what it gets rolled to. Yes. I

532
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:37,040
didn't know what the timeline on it was.
Um

533
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:41,760
I I haven't heard a change in the
timeline based on some things that have

534
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:46,319
gotten
stalled a little bit,

535
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:49,800
» but I think there's still be
beginning to midseptember.

536
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:59,040
So,
it wouldn't be a bad idea with all

537
00:47:56,079 --> 00:48:01,680
bad reason for vandalism.
>> I see. But yeah,

538
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:05,119
» what kind of premium we looking at for
something like that?

539
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:10,240
» Well, I did ask for a quote, but since
we just asked for it, they were still

540
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:15,680
working on it. We were quoting 340,000
for equipment out in the open

541
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:19,040
» is kind of where we're at. If you were
okay with that,

542
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:23,520
» you got an idea what that might cost us.
Um it will she she didn't give me any

543
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:27,359
any
>> it's not a thousand is not you know

544
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:30,559
» yeah she didn't give me any like on that
so I mean

545
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:34,240
» well part of that's on my contractor and
part of that would be on the

546
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:37,520
» it would be depend on your a contracted
agreement

547
00:48:35,359 --> 00:48:40,400
» that's we should definitely look into
that before

548
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:45,839
» jumping into this
>> yeah because there is a lot of time in

549
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:48,880
those bid documents it will classify
what

550
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,839
» at what point it is the city's
liability,

551
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:58,400
» right?
>> Yeah. Just in case somebody goes out

552
00:48:53,520 --> 00:49:00,720
there and gets on a slide or one of them
>> the liability. Yeah.

553
00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:03,599
» Yeah.
>> And it gets hurt.

554
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:09,680
» That
sure contractor has given you proof that

555
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:13,200
they have Yeah. They had liability, I'm
guessing. So,

556
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:17,920
» you know, too, so if somebody would
climb on there and it falls over, you

557
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:23,760
know, everybody's going to get named in
the suit. But

558
00:49:21,359 --> 00:49:28,240
» yeah, the question is, is that, hey, the
the acts of gods or the vandalism that's

559
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:33,040
out of the contractors,
>> is that on the contract for them to

560
00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:36,000
handle or does the city need for it to
be added

561
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:42,000
» if a tornado takes down the playground?
>> Right. Right.

562
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:48,800
I can look at the bid specs.
>> Please.

563
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:52,000
» Okay. And I didn't add the shelter in as
>> we figure

564
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:57,880
it.
>> You don't know what to add yet.

565
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,880
» Yeah. One rebuilding.

566
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:04,960
» They just said that it was Yeah. coming
in 2021 to the underwrite. So,

567
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:11,800
that being said, I don't know if you
guys had any questions

568
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,800
for me on that renewal.

569
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:22,599
» Are we wanting to give any consideration
to changing the linebacker rates or are

570
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:22,599
we satisfied with where they're at?

571
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:33,920
You could approve this with the
stipulation that she'll check in on the

572
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,839
insurance.
>> That would be an endorsement then. Yes.

573
00:50:35,839 --> 00:50:42,640
» And then if they don't have it, then it
automatically we can do it.

574
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:48,480
So we don't have to have another meeting
to okay it.

575
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:59,480
» So again with that line bracker, how
much did that go up from last year?

576
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:59,480
We put up a total of $893.

577
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:07,119
And if we do the $7,500 deductible, it
[clears throat] decreases it.

578
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:10,160
» It saves you $855.
>> That's pretty steep deductible, too.

579
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:12,400
» It is,
>> you know, but even Well,

580
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,920
» yeah.
>> You start looking at what a deductible

581
00:51:13,839 --> 00:51:18,559
on a house roof is anymore. You start
taking your 2500 bucks, maybe isn't that

582
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:25,000
much.
>> Yeah.

583
00:51:20,319 --> 00:51:25,000
Maybe that would be four or 5,000

584
00:51:28,319 --> 00:51:34,040
» and and you hope that yeah your staff

585
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:40,040
our current deductible on it is 2500.

586
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:59,599
So, what are our thoughts on
going up to a higher deductible? And

587
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:05,079
that would sounds like it would get us
pretty much close to what we're spending

588
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,079
right now, right?

589
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:09,400
If we double our deductible

590
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:24,440
years of no claims, you know, then you
have that extra 5,000 that you spent

591
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,440
if you did have one,

592
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:35,680
but then it reverts me back to the
business auto conversation just that. So

593
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:38,680
» yeah, given where we are um
Um,

594
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:45,599
» I don't know if we really want to mess
with the deductible right now.

595
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:49,920
» Yeah, we we can come back and talk to
you later.

596
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,000
» It can definitely be amended.
>> Okay.

597
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:57,680
» Maybe you can tell us some of the other
issues that are happening with a little

598
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:59,520
more time to think about it.
>> Absolutely.

599
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:03,520
» Especially when we know what building
we're going to build, how much that's

600
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:09,200
going to cost. So we would be able to
approve this schedule as is

601
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,280
» and then have the opportunity to amend.
>> Amend.

602
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:14,359
» Absolutely.
>> All right.

603
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:25,160
» All right. And when does this renew?
>> Two days.

604
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,160
» Two days.

605
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:34,319
» I move. So, [laughter]
>> yeah, it didn't give me a lot of window

606
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:40,072
there.
>> It did not happen at the July meeting of

607
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:40,072
my own. [snorts]

608
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:48,559
» I just got it last week.
>> Well, I think we know what we need to do

609
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:54,160
here. But in the meantime, let me go
ahead and read the resolution and then

610
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:58,400
seek a motion. So, um, resolution
08202605,

611
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:04,240
resolution approving the annual renewal
rates with EMC insurance for property

612
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:08,480
liability, crime and fidelity, inland,
marine, automotive, workers

613
00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:13,760
compensation, umbrella, and linebacker
policies. Whereas the city of Albernet,

614
00:54:11,119 --> 00:54:18,480
Iowa receives insurance renewal rates
from EMC insurance through neighbor

615
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:25,200
insurance services for property
liability crime and fidelity inland

616
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:30,559
marine automobile workers compensation
umbrella and linebacker policies. And

617
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:36,720
whereas after reviewing the insurance
renewal rates and deemed acceptable, the

618
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:45,200
city council has decided to accept the
renewal rates effective August 15, 2026.

619
00:54:42,079 --> 00:54:49,520
Now therefore it be it resolved by the
city council of the city of Albernet

620
00:54:47,359 --> 00:54:54,960
that the insurance renewal with EMC
insurance through neighbor insurance

621
00:54:51,680 --> 00:55:02,920
services is hereby approved passes 13th
day of August 2026.

622
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,920
Do I have a motion to approve?

623
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:09,079
» I move we adopt resolution
2026-5.

624
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:18,800
» All right. Moved by Trump. Do I have a
stand? [laughter]

625
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:23,839
» Do I have a second? Clock's ticking.
>> You'll be here till we pass it.

626
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:29,119
» Second.
>> Okay.

627
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:33,440
» Second by Bozenberg. All right. All
those in

628
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:40,079
uh all those in favor of adopting
resolution 08202605

629
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:46,960
in the nick of time uh signify by saying
I. I I

630
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:55,359
» all opposed. Nay and we meet the
deadline. Resolution passes. So,

631
00:55:51,839 --> 00:56:00,079
all right. So, now we are moving on to a
discussion item here. Um, and this is

632
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:06,240
going to deal with the proposed donor
donor [clears throat] res recognition

633
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:11,200
and naming rights policy at the park. Um
so there is some uh there is a draft

634
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:18,079
there
uh just kind of goes over what we are

635
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:25,599
seeking. Um we've gotten grants from
various entities. Um but also we want to

636
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:30,640
give other uh private donors an
opportunity to contribute

637
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:35,920
um and also be recognized for their
contributions to the park. Uh this is

638
00:56:34,079 --> 00:56:42,160
something that we are working through.
This first time it's shown up and so it

639
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:52,640
is a policy that is a work in progress.
It even says working draft there. So um

640
00:56:47,119 --> 00:56:59,359
reading through this are there any
any questions um any

641
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:02,359
suggestions in terms based on what is
here?

642
00:57:03,119 --> 00:57:10,799
Give you guys a second to look it over.
>> One thing that we are working on is

643
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:16,079
making it
consistent with the

644
00:57:13,599 --> 00:57:20,400
agreement that we came up with for the
sign

645
00:57:17,119 --> 00:57:26,960
» as far as the ownership portion of it
goes. Like once that money is donated,

646
00:57:24,799 --> 00:57:32,480
then it becomes
the city's discretion as to where

647
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,760
That's pretty well spelled out right the
way it is right now, right?

648
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,760
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

649
00:57:44,079 --> 00:57:51,359
» But it doesn't really get into,
you know, if you donate so much money,

650
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,839
there's just this. I mean, you'll go to
detail, but it'll come later on.

651
00:57:52,799 --> 00:57:57,359
» Let you guys,
>> yeah,

652
00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:02,240
» figure that out. I mean I can give
suggestions on based on what other

653
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:06,119
cities are doing but
kind of just depends on

654
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:15,520
the total cost of the project
you know and what the contribution is as

655
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:21,880
to what you decide is
comparable to what type of recognition

656
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,880
to get.

657
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:32,960
So, just putting it out there, letting
you guys look at it and

658
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:38,880
make suggestions and go from there.
But I think it'll be good to have in

659
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:44,720
future projects as well. I don't this
isn't just direct. It's come up because

660
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:48,799
of the park, but I feel like it'll be
beneficial for other things in the

661
00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:52,040
future, too. Especially now that we have
a plan.

662
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:18,640
So, one of the things that I'm looking
at is just having

663
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:24,400
like uniform signage
um [clears throat] across

664
00:59:21,359 --> 00:59:29,680
across so that there's not like a giant
logo of this place and then a smaller

665
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:34,960
logo here. and it's a bunch of different
tiles of different sizes all over the

666
00:59:31,839 --> 00:59:41,520
place. Um,
you know, certainly if they want to have

667
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:46,960
like naming rights of the pavilion,
um, of the shelter, then that can be

668
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:52,640
something that they would be featured
more prominently, but others we would

669
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,520
just like to
have [clears throat] their recognition

670
00:59:53,839 --> 01:00:03,359
there. I think on a plaque
on the on the piece of

671
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:08,119
uh if they wanted have it dedicated
toward one person or another, but

672
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:28,920
is there any other comments or
>> it's a good start. Mhm.

673
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:35,000
Yeah, there's still a little bit to do
here. And

674
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:45,119
we don't even have a a a
fully functional park yet, so we can

675
01:00:42,799 --> 01:00:51,280
hold off on throwing.
>> But, you know, you know, I like your

676
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:54,960
thoughts on this are very good. Um,
in previous times we've been so busy

677
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:58,880
doing other things, we may not we may
have completely overlooked something

678
01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:03,640
like this. So, it's nice to see that. I
think we keep getting a little better

679
01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:03,640
all the time.

680
01:01:05,599 --> 01:01:13,520
Some of something that keeps coming up
[clears throat]

681
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:19,920
with previous projects is certain groups
didn't get a thank you from the city

682
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:26,079
for the money or whatever they donated.
So, we probably ought to look at that in

683
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:31,680
the future and make sure we we
give them at least a thank you note that

684
01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:39,200
way of squishing in more of that stuff.
So with with along with you know what's

685
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:43,839
in what's in here. So we just got to be
aware of that. I think

686
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:48,319
» that's something I've been thinking
about

687
01:01:45,599 --> 01:01:54,319
future for when we are finished with the
project and we have the official

688
01:01:51,119 --> 01:02:00,880
ceremony to whatever
I have already thought about you know

689
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:06,400
making sure what whoever donated or
whatever grants we were awarded those

690
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:11,359
people are invited to that specific
event

691
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,359
just to show appreciation.

692
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:16,217
You get the idea.
[clears throat]

693
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,720
» Little gratitude goes a long way.

694
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:36,160
And I know that it's just something that
I was thinking about, but having like

695
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:42,000
that a giant A there and having like
donors on each side of the A

696
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:47,520
listed.
I think that would be kind of cool,

697
01:02:44,799 --> 01:02:54,720
you know. And
I did reach out to a member of the Cedar

698
01:02:52,000 --> 01:03:01,040
Rapids City Council
um about who did their installation, the

699
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:06,319
giant Cedar Rapids there on it on Maze
Island or is it on different

700
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:09,440
» Yeah.
So

701
01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:13,280
» I look out my window.
>> Yeah.

702
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:18,000
Well, and I was I went up and I like
looked at it close the other day and was

703
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:22,880
like, "Yeah, that would that would be
kind of cool." You know, maybe a

704
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:29,039
slightly different touch than than that.
So, it's not just a cookie cutter, but

705
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:34,559
how to go about that and the cost. I'm
not sure, you know,

706
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:40,480
how to how to execute that, but I think
that would be a nice focal point of

707
01:03:38,079 --> 01:03:49,799
where the donations are so that, you
know, people can see all in one place

708
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:49,799
everyone who who gave. So,

709
01:03:53,359 --> 01:03:59,400
is there anything else to add on the
discussion on this?

710
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:12,960
All right. It is a work in progress. Um
it's uh going to continue to to show up

711
01:04:09,839 --> 01:04:17,680
as it develops and we'll keep working on
it.

712
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:22,559
All right.
Next item is we're going to set a public

713
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:27,520
hearing for the zoning ordinance
amendment

714
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:35,119
um for September 10th.
at 700 p.m. Um

715
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:42,880
the zoning ordinance,
what is uh what will be covered in that?

716
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:49,760
» Um that was to
amend the pool barrier.

717
01:04:46,559 --> 01:04:52,799
» That's right. The pool barrier defenses
that sort of

718
01:04:50,319 --> 01:05:00,480
» Yeah. Yeah.
to adopt the international building code

719
01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:03,480
and let lint county enforce that part.
>> Okay.

720
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:14,079
So, um, do I have a motion to set the
public hearing for the zoning ordinance

721
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:20,319
amendment um for, uh, we'll set that for
the same meeting time as our monthly

722
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:24,799
meeting in September on September 7th at
7:00 p.m. Do I have a motion on that?

723
01:05:23,039 --> 01:05:28,559
» I'll move to it.
>> Okay. Second.

724
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:33,039
» Second.
>> Okay.

725
01:05:30,559 --> 01:05:38,319
All those in favor of setting the public
hearing for the zoning ordinance

726
01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:41,599
amendment for September 10 at 700 pm
signify by saying I.

727
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:49,760
» I.
>> All opposed say.

728
01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:55,839
» So we will have that and then we have um
a public hearing for the park shelter

729
01:05:52,160 --> 01:06:01,920
design um discussion on that. [snorts]
uh looking forward to have a public

730
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:07,280
hearing on that as well next month. Um
and so uh do we have any discussion

731
01:06:04,559 --> 01:06:13,359
before I seek a motion on that?
>> Do we anticipate having some kind of

732
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:17,119
drawing to look at prior to that time
>> costs and all that?

733
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:21,079
» So at that's part of the reason this is
getting reset. We were supposed to

734
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:28,240
notice of the public hearing. There'll
be plans and steps here for you guys to

735
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:32,640
» and I'm sure Becky, either Vicki or
Bethany will send them out for you guys

736
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:37,039
to take a look at.
>> It's my understanding that the goal is

737
01:06:35,039 --> 01:06:41,920
about six tables underneath of the
shelter. Um Bethany did say that that

738
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:45,520
was one thing that she was wondering if
um just confirmation on it. So we make

739
01:06:44,319 --> 01:06:49,839
sure that we're trying to hit that right
target. Okay.

740
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:56,880
» Does that sound
about ready? Yes. So, enclosed

741
01:06:53,599 --> 01:07:01,520
bathrooms. Is there some kind of fill
station or water or something else in

742
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:06,160
» a drinking fountain donated?
>> Um, the bathroom, we talked originally

743
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:09,359
about having two stall bathrooms. My
recommendation was that we drop down to

744
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:12,319
one being that the fire stations right
there.

745
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:15,119
» Um, because in that event that you were
having a big event out there, we could

746
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:18,240
open the fire station up for the
bathroom use as well,

747
01:07:16,559 --> 01:07:23,520
» just because your cost drastically
reduces dropping down to one stall. Um,

748
01:07:21,119 --> 01:07:27,599
and that will likely be a pre-fabricated
structure that they come and set. It is

749
01:07:25,839 --> 01:07:29,359
a pre-cast
um kind

750
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:34,160
» pre-cast walls.
>> Yes. But it doesn't look like pre-cast

751
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,839
» pre-cast from floor
>> the entire structure.

752
01:07:35,119 --> 01:07:37,359
» Okay.
>> Um,

753
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,720
» I can show you pictures.
>> Is that is that something that has to be

754
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:45,119
drained every year? And
>> uh yeah, so we will the plumbing will be

755
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:53,640
hooked up basically so that um Matt can
come in and blow out the um the plumbing

756
01:07:48,079 --> 01:07:53,640
lines. um basically the winter I said.

757
01:07:54,079 --> 01:08:00,319
» So how during the summer months
>> how what what we anticipate like

758
01:07:58,799 --> 01:08:04,480
bathroom
availability is that going to be like

759
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:08,079
» 8 to 10 or
>> it'll be a timed lock and Bethany kind

760
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:11,359
of had it indicated that would it would
be the same hours that you classify the

761
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:17,520
parks opening.
>> Okay. Um but

762
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:23,600
if you start having vandalism issues,
these um HU cut units that we're looking

763
01:08:19,839 --> 01:08:26,960
at also um come I want to say with it's
like a vandalism resistant paint on

764
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:31,440
them. So it's easier to go in with a
power washer and power wash off when

765
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:34,799
kids cuz you're going to have vandalism,
right? Like we know what's going to

766
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:40,239
happen. So putting in a structure that's
easy to clean up.

767
01:08:37,759 --> 01:08:44,400
Is there any sort of like utility closet
or maintenance area keep cleaning

768
01:08:42,239 --> 01:08:49,040
supplies and that kind of stuff on site?
>> Yeah. And your like your water heater

769
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:52,239
and any any of your mechanical manifold
as well as the electrical panel will all

770
01:08:50,719 --> 01:08:56,319
be in one end of the building and the
other end will be the restroom with a

771
01:08:53,920 --> 01:09:01,600
pre-cast wall between the two.
>> So it's going to be pre-cast. Is it

772
01:08:58,799 --> 01:09:04,960
going to be
open

773
01:09:03,199 --> 01:09:08,799
all the time with the when the park's
open then or is it going to be locked?

774
01:09:06,719 --> 01:09:11,600
How I mean I can't quite see what we're
talking about yet.

775
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:15,679
» So it'll the restroom door will have a
time to lock on it. Yeah. But the where

776
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,040
the picnic tables and everything is that
>> Yeah, that'll be

777
01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:21,759
» Is that kind of open in an open area
then?

778
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:26,159
» Except the the one end that will face
the restroom, there'll be a um

779
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:29,120
» there'll [clears throat] be a closed
wall

780
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:33,279
» and then the sides will wrap about six
feet so that if you want to put like a

781
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:37,759
food booth area, there's a protected
area that you can put food up that is

782
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:42,480
protected from the wind. Okay. Um,
>> will there be outlets along like

783
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:46,239
» So, there's talk about that. Bethany and
I's conversation right now is to put the

784
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:50,560
conduit in for the electrical and then
the city could come back in with their

785
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:54,400
own contractor. And otherwise, we had to
hire electrical engineer to do it.

786
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:59,600
Whereas, if we just when the city has
the funding, um, they come in and have I

787
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:03,440
think Hawkeye typically does a lot of
your electrical stuff. So, they would

788
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:07,760
come in and wire um, [clears throat]
some light. She's uncertain about lights

789
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:14,560
on whether you'd want lights or not, but
they would wire up um outlets.

790
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:19,920
» You have some sort of so solar, you
know, on

791
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:23,280
to power the lights within there. You
don't need a lot of

792
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:27,920
» Well, and right now what we're looking
at is actually a not a trust roof

793
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:30,880
system. So, it's a um higher roof
system. So, it'll allow more light in

794
01:10:29,679 --> 01:10:35,199
anyway. [clears throat]
Um, and the pavilion we're not your park

795
01:10:33,679 --> 01:10:38,199
hours aren't open at night.
>> Yeah.

796
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:47,199
» We have an idea what kind of budget
we're looking at on this thing now.

797
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:50,640
» Well, I think the budget figure was
quote me if I'm wrong. It's like right

798
01:10:48,480 --> 01:10:51,760
around 150,000 that you had left to
spend on it.

799
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,000
» Okay.
>> We're trying really hard to stay within

800
01:10:53,440 --> 01:10:58,239
that.
>> Okay.

801
01:10:56,080 --> 01:11:01,280
between 150 175 I think.
>> Yeah, that was part of the drop of the

802
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:06,640
single stall restroom because the double
stall was going to be between 85,000 and

803
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:12,480
115,000.
>> So that's why

804
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:17,840
drinking fountain
>> a $10,000 drinking fountain.

805
01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:24,560
» Wait, the drinking fountain was donated.
>> Yeah, that was donated. So,

806
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:32,159
» is there a when you're is this maxing
out the space so we can that we can't

807
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:37,440
add on later? I'm just curious. Or you
could add on another 10 10 15 ft to it.

808
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:41,760
» I mean, the way that it's going to be
positioned is the bathroom would be on

809
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:45,920
the side towards the fire station before
the concrete pad and then the pavilion

810
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:49,360
will be set. So, like you could come in
and section one if you wanted in the

811
01:11:48,159 --> 01:11:55,199
future. Um,
>> just in Yeah, just in case.

812
01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:56,560
» Lengthwise, you can't necessarily widen
it.

813
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,840
» No,
>> but you could pour a bigger concrete pad

814
01:11:58,159 --> 01:12:01,920
and have some tables sitting outside of
it,

815
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:04,880
» right?
This might be a little harder to add,

816
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:10,480
but for the distance between the pickle
ball court and the expected end of that

817
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:12,719
pavilion, how much are we looking at in
between?

818
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:18,640
» I don't know that, but the drawings will
show that on it.

819
01:12:13,679 --> 01:12:21,600
» Okay. I mean, 50 ft.
>> I mean, you look at this stuff and then

820
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,480
you look at out there and it's it's kind
of crowded out there.

821
01:12:23,040 --> 01:12:30,159
» Yeah. So, we're trying to preserve as
much of the green space as we can. Um,

822
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:33,280
we're still working exactly what width
that bathroom structure is going to be

823
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:37,360
and
>> walkways for the um 80 accessibility

824
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:43,080
around it.
>> So, I don't know that number, but we'll

825
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:43,080
make sure to show it on the fence.

826
01:12:46,239 --> 01:12:50,320
I haven't been out there. Where's the
pile of dirt at?

827
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:53,320
» No, pile of dirt is more north.
>> Okay.

828
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:57,920
» You mean it'll go in a little bit, but
it looks fully in it.

829
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:02,239
» Big pile of dirt.
>> It's kind of at the edge of the sidewalk

830
01:13:00,239 --> 01:13:06,480
at the intersection of the basically the
old road and the

831
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:10,520
» the sidewalk by the fire station in that
area.

832
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:10,520
» Okay. Yeah,

833
01:13:11,199 --> 01:13:18,600
» the corner that they're not really doing
anything in right now with the park

834
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,600
besides some grading.

835
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:27,840
» If they get decent weather,
you're still looking sometime in

836
01:13:25,440 --> 01:13:32,800
September probably for this thing to be
ready to be seated down.

837
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:37,520
» Um, they will for the park, the pavilion
and the bathroom structure will be next

838
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:43,280
year. Okay. Hey
And the park they'll have to seat it. I

839
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:46,320
think
I think permanent seating has to be in

840
01:13:44,719 --> 01:13:48,640
by like September 15th.
>> Yeah. August 15th because September 15th

841
01:13:48,159 --> 01:13:51,640
is
>> Yeah.

842
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:58,320
» Well,
the weather cooperates sometimes that

843
01:13:56,400 --> 01:14:04,920
does get extended by a week or two,
>> but usually by October 1st you have seen

844
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,920
in your house. Okay.

845
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:11,600
Pretty lucky.
But I think I think they're close to

846
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:14,640
wrapping up now that the pickle ball
store was kind of

847
01:14:13,199 --> 01:14:18,080
» a little more sidewalk. And it looks
like they can start pushing things back

848
01:14:16,239 --> 01:14:20,560
and forth. I mean pushing some dirt
there.

849
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:23,960
» Yeah, I know. Ranch's anxious to get out
of there. So

850
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,400
calls from him.

851
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:38,760
» All right. Anything?
Anything else for tonight?

852
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:48,800
We'll go ahead and seek a motion to set
the public hearing for park shelter

853
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:55,320
design for September 10th at 700 p.m. Do
I have a motion?

854
01:14:52,159 --> 01:14:55,320
» So, move

855
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:00,719
and a second.
>> Second.

856
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:06,320
» Um,
all right. All those in favor of setting

857
01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:12,159
a public hearing for park shelter design
for September 10 at 700 p.m. signify by

858
01:15:10,480 --> 01:15:15,760
saying I.
>> I.

859
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:24,400
» All opposed.
All right, that is set. Moving on to

860
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:32,320
written reports. Um TJ, anything to add
to the report that's in here? Uh

861
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:32,320
» go back through and double check.

862
01:15:36,480 --> 01:15:44,159
Um the hydro testing on the SCVA tanks,
it's something that needs to be done

863
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:46,800
every 5 years. Um and they haven't been
done on the sets that we currently have.

864
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:50,800
» Okay.
>> Um some of them date back to 2017. So

865
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:52,400
they should have already been done a few
years ago. So

866
01:15:52,302 --> 01:15:56,320
» [snorts]
>> um

867
01:15:54,719 --> 01:16:00,480
like I said in here, Hawkeye Fire is
cheaper, but we'd have to shuttle them

868
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,600
down. So, we'd have to do probably four
trips down,

869
01:16:02,159 --> 01:16:08,320
» shuttle them down, pick have them
tested, and then pick them up and bring

870
01:16:05,199 --> 01:16:11,679
down another set. Um, the other company,
per hydro,

871
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:15,600
» um, is a little more, but they can come
to us and they have a mobile tank that

872
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:20,239
they can do that in.
Um,

873
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:27,440
and then host testing, uh, same thing.
It needs to be done. Again, hasn't been

874
01:16:22,159 --> 01:16:33,840
done in a while. and um
139er brush truck had a module fail on

875
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:39,360
it and was dead in the water. So um I
was able to get approval from Bethany to

876
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:44,640
have a emergency repair done on it so we
could get it back up and operational. So

877
01:16:42,480 --> 01:16:50,480
um that's been fixed. We did find some
other um

878
01:16:47,679 --> 01:16:54,880
an exhaust leak while we were pulling
everything apart. So, um that might be

879
01:16:53,679 --> 01:16:59,440
something that we'll have to address
here soon, but

880
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:04,719
um other than that, everything seems to
be running good. Um I did include the

881
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:11,920
quotes
from Pro Hydro and from Hawkeye. And

882
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:18,480
there also is um
a contract for McQueen which we had done

883
01:17:14,159 --> 01:17:23,760
last year for servicing our um our mask
and our packs that we have. Uh one thing

884
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:29,760
that wasn't added that I thought we did
have added which I apologize was the air

885
01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:34,400
compressing unit that we have um our
fill station that fills our bottles for

886
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:37,760
us. So we um use that and that needs to
be um serviced every year as well. Mhm.

887
01:17:37,758 --> 01:17:42,880
[clears throat]
>> So, they would come in and do it all at

888
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:50,880
one time. Um, and I forget how much it
is by itself, but um

889
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:56,480
I think it's like $4 or $500 by itself
without a contract. And they're saying

890
01:17:52,719 --> 01:18:04,440
that um they're quoting us 350 for each
year. So,

891
01:17:58,480 --> 01:18:04,440
um, that's about the only thing I had.

892
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:17,360
Yeah.
Um,

893
01:18:15,679 --> 01:18:19,920
so I don't know, Mac, do you want to
talk about it or

894
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:23,600
» Oh,
>> because you know more than I do.

895
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:28,400
» Yeah. So when they they're installing,
they're auguring the fence posts in the

896
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:33,360
pickle ball cord. They get the
electrical line that services the fire

897
01:18:30,239 --> 01:18:38,719
station, but that was fixed in the same
day. Um I guess it's now it's an

898
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:42,159
argument between Hawkeye who located the
line and the fence company who hit it as

899
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:47,679
far as who's liable for it, but they had
to pull those wires from the fire

900
01:18:44,239 --> 01:18:53,360
station to the wellhouse.
And everybody needs to realize is when

901
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:56,800
that happened,
we can't get the vehicles out of the

902
01:18:55,280 --> 01:19:04,120
garage.
So if we had a call that day, we had to

903
01:18:59,679 --> 01:19:04,120
rely on center point.

904
01:19:04,719 --> 01:19:11,719
» You don't have a backup.
>> A backup generator feeds that main line.

905
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:22,159
» So what I'm what I'm doing?
Yeah. So, what I'm doing is um I'm

906
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:26,640
getting in contact with overhead door
who did the installation to begin with

907
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:33,360
of the garage doors and they're going to
look at either um possibly doing like a

908
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:40,640
battery backup on the doors so we can
still use them or um

909
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:45,600
re servicing them to get it back to the
proper tension so we can push the doors

910
01:19:42,719 --> 01:19:50,159
up and they go up by hand. So, we have
the capability right now to unlock it,

911
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:52,880
but we can't push it all the way up.
>> So, the springs aren't quite set,

912
01:19:52,159 --> 01:19:55,679
» right?
>> Is what they think, but they're going to

913
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,880
have to come out and take a look at it.
So, I am in the process of talking with

914
01:19:57,199 --> 01:20:02,560
them and getting a
>> um

915
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:07,120
rectify or a solution brought to the
table. So, it's one of those we never

916
01:20:05,199 --> 01:20:10,880
would have
known without it happening. So,

917
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:15,040
» it's kind of good to know that you can't
get the doors open without the power.

918
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:18,080
» Yeah.
Yeah. So

919
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:23,960
» stuff happens [clears throat]
>> like a fiber optic by the shaft that

920
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:23,960
tube.

921
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:35,120
» So
and so we were making contact with the

922
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:40,159
surrounding services. They were going to
have to step in for us because we

923
01:20:36,480 --> 01:20:44,239
couldn't get a vehicle out the door.
>> That doesn't make us look very pretty

924
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:48,719
with the state of Iowa. No.
They get a little annoyed if you can't

925
01:20:47,199 --> 01:20:55,679
thankfully not call.
>> Luckily, no, we did not. So,

926
01:20:52,320 --> 01:21:00,000
» yeah. Um, it wasn't busy in L County
that day, but luckily for us, it wasn't

927
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:02,719
because So,
>> it could have been our luck be the day

928
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:07,520
that we got slammed.
>> Yeah.

929
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:12,239
» Just those things that catches you off
guard and you think everything's fine

930
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:17,000
and then something like that.
Um just just uh

931
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:23,320
sorry I still can't tell you.

932
01:21:23,440 --> 01:21:32,159
» So on the hydro test,
do we need to approve

933
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:34,960
either of these bids or
>> Oh

934
01:21:32,719 --> 01:21:39,840
» no, that's okay.
>> Was an overlook on my part

935
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:45,199
» because they're serviceoriented.
uh

936
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:46,320
contract update plus the service
requests.

937
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:50,880
» Yeah.
>> So I will have all resolutions for those

938
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:53,880
at the next meeting.
>> Okay.

939
01:21:54,480 --> 01:22:02,360
» Anything else to add to the report?
>> Nope.

940
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:02,360
» All right. That's not fun.

941
01:22:03,440 --> 01:22:08,040
» Speaking of fun, public works.

942
01:22:09,679 --> 01:22:15,760
I don't have anything to add to it. I
mentioned it in the bottom for the like

943
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:23,280
council to approve it purchase of that
skid lower bucket. Um the new machine is

944
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:28,080
in it came with a larger dirt bucket
with teeth that the old one went on

945
01:22:25,679 --> 01:22:31,360
trade and I didn't include it originally
with the purchase of the machine. I want

946
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:36,320
to see what the old smooth bucket was
like almost a foot narrower than the new

947
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:39,760
ones. So it's narrower than the tracks
itself of the machine. So, if you're

948
01:22:37,679 --> 01:22:43,520
doing any grading or eventually pushing
snow, you're going to be driving over

949
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:48,719
what you're trying to trying to move.
So, I wanted to purchase an identical

950
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:54,159
one just with a smooth cutting edge.
The old bucket is in pretty bad shape

951
01:22:50,719 --> 01:22:58,080
anyway. I was plan on welding on that to
fix it up and just use that dedicated

952
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:01,760
for salt to keep the the new buckets out
of the salt.

953
01:23:00,159 --> 01:23:06,159
It's not worth much being in the
condition it's in.

954
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:11,880
So
that's available to be approved tonight.

955
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,880
» But

956
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:17,639
don't have anything else to add to it.

957
01:23:18,159 --> 01:23:23,040
» Very busy with waste water right now
with the lagoons trying to keep them

958
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:27,040
from overflowing basically at this
point. But the DNR is aware of all of

959
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:32,320
it.
>> Yeah. When you get five inches of rain

960
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:36,719
in 24 hours. Yeah.
>> Was that fast? I was planning on an out

961
01:23:34,719 --> 01:23:39,600
of season discharge. I thought we were
going to I was taking pre-draw samples

962
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:42,480
weeks ahead of time and I thought we
were going to have plenty of time to do

963
01:23:40,719 --> 01:23:47,320
it and then we got that five inches of
rain and it came up week

964
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:57,719
» but they are aware of the situation and
we're taking extra sampling in the

965
01:23:54,719 --> 01:23:57,719
process.

966
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:12,440
So, do we need to do a motion to
accept the the bid here? So,

967
01:24:09,440 --> 01:24:12,440
um

968
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:26,480
so I'm seeking a motion um to approve
the bid with uh Rexco equipment. Is that

969
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:34,560
right? or the um
86 inch severe duty bucket bolt-on and

970
01:24:30,239 --> 01:24:39,560
bolt-on cutting edge. It's also 86 in
for a total not to exceed $3,15352.

971
01:24:46,639 --> 01:24:53,679
Do I have a motion to approve that
expense? So move

972
01:24:51,199 --> 01:24:57,480
» moved by Bzenberg. Second.
>> Second.

973
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:57,480
» Okay.

974
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:07,199
All those in favor of
approving the purchase of an 86 in

975
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:18,840
severe duty bucket
and bolt-on cutting edge, also 86 in um

976
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:18,840
from Rexco in the amount of $3,15352.

977
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:26,719
signify by saying I
>> I

978
01:25:22,639 --> 01:25:32,239
» all opposed. Nay. All right.
>> We got the new one in yet.

979
01:25:30,719 --> 01:25:36,080
» They took the tractor and
>> Oh, okay.

980
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:39,440
» Got more room in the garage now.
>> Yeah.

981
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:45,040
» Even with the tractor attachment still,
there's Yeah, it makes a big difference

982
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:49,600
in in the garage.
This is smaller potatoes, but still a

983
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:54,320
concern
coming in. I don't know if this is

984
01:25:51,920 --> 01:26:02,239
county or you or who would take care of
this, but coming in from the west on

985
01:25:58,960 --> 01:26:08,960
Roosevelt there. Our speed limit ahead
sign and our 40 mph speed limit sign has

986
01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:12,159
growth in front of it to where you can't
actually see

987
01:26:11,440 --> 01:26:15,520
» growing on.
>> Yeah. Yeah, like growing in a tree or

988
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:21,280
something
>> sprouting out of the ditches there so

989
01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:23,679
that you can't really see those.
>> Uhhuh.

990
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:29,520
» Yeah. [snorts]
>> I mean,

991
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:34,360
» one other thing, the the p the fix on
Roosevelt Street in front of your house.

992
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:45,679
» Another one. Mac, I was going to talk to
you coming in on on um Bernest Station

993
01:26:42,639 --> 01:26:50,000
coming up to Elbert Main Street. The
stop sign there, if you're coming in,

994
01:26:47,679 --> 01:26:52,719
it's all the trees in the yard have
grown over and you can't see that stop

995
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:57,760
sign.
>> Okay. No, just for like semi-truckss or

996
01:26:55,199 --> 01:27:01,520
something coming up through there until
you get

997
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:05,679
» with in that last yard, then you can see
the stop sign.

998
01:27:02,960 --> 01:27:10,480
» But otherwise, there's branches coming
down over that.

999
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:17,440
» Bottom line, things are not going to
stop growing anytime soon.

1000
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:21,719
» It's like a rainforest out there.
All right, anything else for Mac?

1001
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:30,800
Okay, moving on to city clerk treasury
report there.

1002
01:27:28,159 --> 01:27:36,400
Financial report is in there. Anything
you wanted to add to this, Vicki?

1003
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:41,280
» So, I've only got the one report in
there. We've migrated to the new

1004
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:47,040
Quirkbook system. I'm still trying to
get used to what the reports look like

1005
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:51,199
and which format's going to be the best
one to use. They are a little bit

1006
01:27:48,719 --> 01:27:57,199
different than QuickBooks. So, I'm
playing with all of them.

1007
01:27:54,880 --> 01:28:02,880
Problem is when I you can export them to
Excel, but for some reason, it's not

1008
01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:07,840
allowing me to do any type of sorting.
So, I'm I've got an email out to them on

1009
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:12,800
that. I don't know if it's a programming
issue or if that's just the way it is.

1010
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:18,000
Um, and they're trying to figure out,
they put the budget in for me, but I

1011
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:25,120
haven't had a chance to really go in and
look at it to make sure it's all where

1012
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:31,920
it should be. So, bear with me for a
month or two while I work through all

1013
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:37,040
that stuff. But otherwise, it's going
pretty smooth. When you export, is it an

1014
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:42,639
option to instead of putting it into an
X file Excel file that you can do it as

1015
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:47,600
a CSV kind of delimited?
>> No, it's automatically.

1016
01:28:45,440 --> 01:28:52,159
» Yep.
>> That's a workaround I use. So, all

1017
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:57,679
right.
Anything for Vicki?

1018
01:28:55,280 --> 01:29:03,360
All right.
Um, city engineer report.

1019
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:07,159
So, two of my big items we've already
talked about tonight, right?

1020
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:14,960
Um, one of the ones that I've heard from
both Mac and V or um and Bethany that

1021
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:21,040
are going to be top priority is figuring
out how we start looking at an project

1022
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:25,280
to
I shouldn't use ionizing

1023
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:29,040
um infiltration project with your
sanitary sewer. There's a lot of storm

1024
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:34,000
water getting into your sanitary sewer
which is causing all of Max's issues out

1025
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:37,840
of the treatment. Um
the treatment and your lift station. I

1026
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:41,600
went out and looked after one of the
last council meetings and there is a ton

1027
01:29:39,840 --> 01:29:46,560
of clear water coming into that lift
station in high water events. Um so

1028
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:49,600
starting to look at that. I know you've
done a lot of videoing and getting some

1029
01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:56,000
of those videos and starting to look
through those. um trying to find where

1030
01:29:52,639 --> 01:30:00,639
some maybe lining or manhole lining. Um
maybe even I think there's some manholes

1031
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:10,000
out along that waterway that probably
need um sealed up better and raised up.

1032
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:15,360
Um and so starting to look at that
one of them and then hug them back

1033
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:20,880
through um how to
connect onto the water and sewer mains

1034
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:26,080
with uh possible apartment building and
as well as starting to look at a

1035
01:30:22,719 --> 01:30:29,400
capacity study just for the um water and
sewer systems.

1036
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,080
Those are big ones.

1037
01:30:36,480 --> 01:30:43,960
Any additional questions or comments?
>> Questions to you?

1038
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:51,080
» I don't know. I think we're probably
keeping you busy as is.

1039
01:30:52,719 --> 01:30:59,600
Weather's providing plenty of issues.
>> It's amazing. Every time it rains, how

1040
01:30:57,679 --> 01:31:04,639
many phone calls I have from our cities
that we start they're finding water in

1041
01:31:01,679 --> 01:31:09,840
places they've never had water.
>> It's so wet this year. So

1042
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:13,120
» I can't imagine
we're not prairie bird.

1043
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:19,000
» Yes.
>> Very true.

1044
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:19,000
There's always something to be.

1045
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:29,440
» All right. Uh, seeing nothing else, uh,
we'll go ahead and, uh, seek approval

1046
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:34,560
for the consent consent agenda.
Do I have a motion to approve the

1047
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:37,719
consent agenda?
>> So move

1048
01:31:39,199 --> 01:31:43,400
a second. Second.

1049
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:52,880
» All right. Uh, all those in favor of
approving the consent agenda signify by

1050
01:31:48,639 --> 01:32:00,719
saying I. Okay. All oppose signify with
nay. And consent agenda is approved.

1051
01:31:58,239 --> 01:32:05,920
Uh mayor's report, there was one not one
included here. Um

1052
01:32:04,239 --> 01:32:10,320
I know that we've covered a lot of
things that Bethany probably would have

1053
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:17,760
talked about. um some of the issues with
the um locating of of poles where they

1054
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:24,880
should be on the on the pickle ball
court and then of course the um the

1055
01:32:21,679 --> 01:32:29,840
electrical issue that the fire station
had. Um

1056
01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:36,159
I really don't have anything beyond
that.

1057
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:44,840
So, but uh don't worry, our fearless
mayor will be back next month.

1058
01:32:40,159 --> 01:32:44,840
And if she's not, I won't be here. No.

1059
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:52,840
» Um All right. Council comments. [snorts]
Uh start with

1060
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,280
» Council Rosenberg.

1061
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:03,120
Pan looks great. Good work to your team
and you. Thank you so much. That's

1062
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,760
great.
>> You can appreciate it.

1063
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:08,760
» Absolutely.
>> Awesome.

1064
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:15,120
» All right.
Um, so we'll go ahead confirm and time

1065
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:22,320
and date of the next meeting which is
September 10th, 2026 at 7 p.m. And of

1066
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:28,239
course, we'll have a couple public
hearings at that time as well for the

1067
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:33,440
zoning ordinance amendment and the park
shelter design. Second.

1068
01:33:30,480 --> 01:33:40,360
» Um seeking at this point a motion to
adjurnn. So move

1069
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,360
» by and second.

1070
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:48,159
» All those in favor of adjourning this
