zero eight Little Falls Minnesota

62
00:02:59,340 --> 00:03:02,160
um so thank you for having me tonight we

63
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,660
do have the audit results a little bit

64
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:05,400
later than usual but it was issued

65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,900
actually earlier than last year just

66
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,760
couldn't make the June council meeting

67
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,879
work everything wrapped up together went

68
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,940
smooth everything went on time

69
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:17,819
you do have the big bound document that

70
00:03:17,819 --> 00:03:20,700
feel free to read at any time the first

71
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:21,840
part of that is your management

72
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,700
discussion analysis really gives you a

73
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,019
big picture of what happened throughout

74
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:26,459
the year so if you read nothing else

75
00:03:26,459 --> 00:03:29,099
kind of take a peek at that we will base

76
00:03:29,099 --> 00:03:32,099
ours on the PowerPoint presentation so

77
00:03:32,099 --> 00:03:34,739
within there some graphs some charts

78
00:03:34,739 --> 00:03:36,840
just kind of where you you can see where

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,940
the city's been and where you're where

80
00:03:38,940 --> 00:03:40,200
you're at now

81
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,060
so we'll start with that feel free to

82
00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:43,620
stop me at any time if you have any

83
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:45,480
questions definitely can be interactive

84
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,680
as well

85
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,599
so a few things that we'll go over is

86
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:50,580
brainer Public Utilities their audit

87
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:52,500
results the financial results

88
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,720
cities require communication that we do

89
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,640
every year the city's audit results

90
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920
Financial results and then any other

91
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,720
discussions insights or observations

92
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,780
that came from the audit

93
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:06,239
so overall the Brainerd Public Utilities

94
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:07,920
had a clean opinion on the financial

95
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080
statements no findings in internal

96
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,879
control and no issues with Minnesota

97
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:15,000
legal compliance so clean clean results

98
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,199
there

99
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,540
page four just shows you the overall

100
00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:21,419
results so 2018 is on your far left and

101
00:04:21,419 --> 00:04:24,300
then 2022 is on your far right here

102
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:27,060
you can see that operating revenues did

103
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:30,360
go up expenses also increase so expenses

104
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,060
actually went higher than revenues but

105
00:04:33,060 --> 00:04:35,100
if you look at overall the two top lines

106
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,919
for the most part revenues have been

107
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:41,280
over the blue line over expenditures so

108
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,540
when you look at that you're doing

109
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:44,220
fairly well there

110
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:46,320
you do have some local options sales tax

111
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,600
coming in the green line down there and

112
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,479
then your overall change in net position

113
00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:53,100
so a total unrestricted net position

114
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,100
dropped a little bit down from 10.9 to

115
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:58,199
10.4

116
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,620
but page five shows you then the the

117
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:04,740
assets far left you can see that 2022

118
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:07,199
and then 2021 on your right

119
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,540
so cash did decrease there were some

120
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:11,220
Bond proceeds issued in the prior year

121
00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:13,440
which were spent this year

122
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,780
revenues increased they did have a sale

123
00:05:15,780 --> 00:05:18,240
of renewable energy there so you'll see

124
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,500
that come through

125
00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:21,479
and then overall I had a positive cash

126
00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:23,820
flow from operations even though it was

127
00:05:23,820 --> 00:05:26,100
slightly lower than prior year it still

128
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:29,450
was positive

129
00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:33,000
page six then this net position is at

130
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,220
the top on the far left and then down

131
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:37,440
below that is the liabilities

132
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,380
overall debt did decrease overall just

133
00:05:40,380 --> 00:05:42,840
principal payments being made on those

134
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,820
electric Department had a Net game of

135
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:48,300
about 1.4 million there water had a net

136
00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:50,699
loss of about 273

137
00:05:50,699 --> 00:05:53,460
000 so brought down that net position

138
00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:57,660
from 11.8 last year to 11.5 this year

139
00:05:57,660 --> 00:06:00,360
and then Wastewater also had a net loss

140
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,340
of about 267

141
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:07,139
000 so it went from 19.8 to 19.6 million

142
00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:09,139
there

143
00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:11,940
but overall when you look at the totals

144
00:06:11,940 --> 00:06:13,380
we combine all three of those

145
00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:16,620
departments into one

146
00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:18,720
page seven

147
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,220
so we'll go through the required

148
00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:21,960
Communications so our primary

149
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120
responsibilities Auditors for an opinion

150
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,380
on the fairness of the financial

151
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:28,080
statements presented tonight we do

152
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,819
review internal accounting controls of

153
00:06:29,819 --> 00:06:31,259
course we want to make sure that there

154
00:06:31,259 --> 00:06:33,180
are some in place with the city and that

155
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:34,580
they're working

156
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:37,259
risk-based audit approach no way to test

157
00:06:37,259 --> 00:06:39,300
every transaction so we do some detail

158
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,160
level testing and then some overall

159
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,800
testing in comparison current year to

160
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,479
budget current year to Prior year if

161
00:06:45,479 --> 00:06:47,520
anything looks out of the ordinary we do

162
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,199
more testing there

163
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,560
Federal Awards you did expend over 750

164
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,240
000 of that so you were required to have

165
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,460
a single audit so we do additional tests

166
00:06:56,460 --> 00:06:59,520
on those funds specifically

167
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,319
significant accounting policies of

168
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:02,400
course those are always going to be

169
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,560
outlined in note 1.

170
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,000
unusual transaction so this you'll see the city we did record that

171
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,639
payment of the lawsuit it did have to go

172
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,979
in there this year but the funding will

173
00:07:13,979 --> 00:07:16,199
come in next year just the way that we

174
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:17,880
have to record it under accounting

175
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,319
standards

176
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:22,080
new standard governmental Accounting

177
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,060
Standards Board statement number 87

178
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:27,120
deals with leases so that was the new

179
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,940
software that the city implemented the

180
00:07:29,940 --> 00:07:31,259
biggest change will be with your airport

181
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:33,840
you had a lot of lessor receivables

182
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,819
booked and then a deferred revenue on

183
00:07:35,819 --> 00:07:38,280
there pretty significant there when you

184
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,400
look and then it changed the format for

185
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,460
the city as well for the Lee c side so

186
00:07:44,460 --> 00:07:46,680
you had a lot of leases with like your

187
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,199
vehicles and things like that those all

188
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,759
now are just re-categorized and

189
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:52,199
relabeled so when you look through the

190
00:07:52,199 --> 00:07:54,240
notes you'll see that change from last

191
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,160
year

192
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,960
hmm

193
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120
so overall within the bound document of

194
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,900
course you're going to have some

195
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:02,340
management judgments in accounting

196
00:08:02,340 --> 00:08:05,400
estimates we go through those each year

197
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,560
we come in and we do the audit we don't

198
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,660
have any adjustments so Connie has

199
00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:11,819
everything ready for us when we come out

200
00:08:11,819 --> 00:08:14,340
here everything's adjusted so what that

201
00:08:14,340 --> 00:08:15,599
means is as you're getting financial

202
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:17,280
information throughout the year it's

203
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,319
accurate you can really rely on that to

204
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:21,860
make informed decisions

205
00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:25,220
no disagreements with management there

206
00:08:25,220 --> 00:08:27,960
no difficulties encountering form in the

207
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,500
audit the new gasby standard took a lot

208
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:34,320
of work but Connie was able to get

209
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,940
through that and get us the stuff we

210
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:37,979
needed so we were able to release on

211
00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:39,959
time

212
00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:43,500
so page 10 overall the city's audit

213
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:45,360
report so an unmodified or a clean

214
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,279
opinion on the financial statement so

215
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:49,560
highest level of assurance that we can

216
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:50,480
give

217
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,980
compliance and internal controls no

218
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:55,860
findings there we did audit the airport

219
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:57,959
Improvement program there were no

220
00:08:57,959 --> 00:09:00,300
findings there so everything was clean I

221
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:01,980
know Connie Works hand in hand with them

222
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:03,959
as well to make sure they follow all of

223
00:09:03,959 --> 00:09:05,459
their regulations

224
00:09:05,459 --> 00:09:07,800
we also tested Minnesota Leo compliance

225
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,140
and we test about seven areas there and

226
00:09:10,140 --> 00:09:12,480
no findings so overall really clean

227
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,300
audit report I know Connie and her team

228
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:17,519
put in a lot of work to get all of those

229
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:19,860
issued with no findings

230
00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:25,910
so I'll let Connie take it from here

231
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,980
run slide 11.

232
00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:31,560
expenditures exceeded revenues by 260

233
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:32,899
thousand dollars

234
00:09:32,899 --> 00:09:35,820
this as Mary mentioned this includes the

235
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:37,860
settlement payout of 1.9 million dollars

236
00:09:37,860 --> 00:09:40,200
and we had to recognize it in 2022 even

237
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,360
though we didn't make the payment until

238
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,519
2023 the settlement was reached and

239
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:45,839
therefore it had to be recognized in

240
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:47,220
2022.

241
00:09:47,220 --> 00:09:49,560
fund balance is approximately 2 million

242
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,560
uh 100 or excuse me one million six

243
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:54,000
hundred fifty five thousand of which

244
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,300
approximately 2 million 240 000 is

245
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:58,440
unassigned and can be used for

246
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,300
operations the fund balance did take a

247
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,399
hit with not all of the revenue of how

248
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:03,779
we're going to pay for the lawsuit being

249
00:10:03,779 --> 00:10:07,140
recognized until 2023 but that did why

250
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:08,519
it took a hit

251
00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:10,019
um if we look at our 22 operating

252
00:10:10,019 --> 00:10:12,180
expenditures it was approximately 13

253
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:15,839
million 504 000. and so that gives us a

254
00:10:15,839 --> 00:10:19,860
17 of our our 2022 expenditures and

255
00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:21,959
unassigned fund balance and so we do not

256
00:10:21,959 --> 00:10:26,100
meet our goal of being 35 to 50 percent

257
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,440
um and 20 at the end of 2021 we were at

258
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,980
39 percent and now we're at 17 percent

259
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:33,839
um I try to do a calculation if we would

260
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:36,300
have uh recognized all the revenue in

261
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:37,980
2022 what that would have been and we

262
00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:41,389
would have been at 28 percent

263
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,560
if we go to the next slide this compares

264
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:46,019
the part chart pie charts compare the

265
00:10:46,019 --> 00:10:48,540
revenues to budgeted actual revenues to

266
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:50,940
budgeted revenues the actual numbers are

267
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:52,380
close to what which budgeted the biggest

268
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:54,480
difference is the interest income we

269
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,339
budgeted for forty thousand dollars and

270
00:10:56,339 --> 00:10:59,399
we actually had a negative 473 thousand

271
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:00,240
dollars

272
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,399
and that is pretty accepted accounting

273
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,200
principles at the end of the year the

274
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,579
Investments need to be adjusted to

275
00:11:05,579 --> 00:11:07,860
market value this is a non-cash

276
00:11:07,860 --> 00:11:09,839
transaction and we don't budget for it

277
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:12,180
because the city intends to hold our

278
00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:14,040
investments to maturity and not to

279
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,980
actually realize that loss

280
00:11:16,980 --> 00:11:19,019
um so and of course the market took a

281
00:11:19,019 --> 00:11:21,839
hit in December

282
00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:25,560
the next slide is also a compares the

283
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,600
budgeted expenditures of the general

284
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,000
fund to the expenditures and the biggest

285
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,680
difference is the recognizing of the

286
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:36,050
lawsuit in the general government

287
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:39,180
for the 2022 audit just as an exam or as

288
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:40,620
a reminder that the general fund

289
00:11:40,620 --> 00:11:42,959
includes the operations of Public Safety

290
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:44,459
parks and streets so this is the first

291
00:11:44,459 --> 00:11:46,440
year that we haven't had to combine

292
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,940
those three funds it was all reported

293
00:11:47,940 --> 00:11:49,920
under one in the audit and that was

294
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,540
based on Council action in August of

295
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:52,740
2022

296
00:11:52,740 --> 00:11:54,420
so this slide is basically the numbers

297
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:56,339
behind the two previous graphs we were

298
00:11:56,339 --> 00:11:58,560
budgeting a deficit of fifteen thousand

299
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,660
dollars and that's because 2022 was a

300
00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:02,220
non-election year

301
00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:04,140
or it was an election year so we were

302
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,480
using fund balance excuse me and then we

303
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,940
had our actual where actual expenditures

304
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:11,100
exceeded revenues by the two million one

305
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:12,600
hundred and sixty three thousand so we

306
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,980
were a difference between our budget and

307
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:16,380
actual of 2 million one hundred and

308
00:12:16,380 --> 00:12:18,480
forty eight thousand dollars

309
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,640
so the next slide I mean that loss is

310
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,899
significant when you look at the budget

311
00:12:21,899 --> 00:12:23,399
and so I wanted to kind of show Council

312
00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:25,860
on what we were at can you two more

313
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:28,980
slides Sean right there thank you

314
00:12:28,980 --> 00:12:29,640
um

315
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,380
we want to know what was our true

316
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:35,399
results because that's important as we go into the 2024 budget

317
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:37,920
season two so the First Column basically

318
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,079
shows how we get from page 32 of the

319
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:42,060
audit to where we came to the actual

320
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:43,740
slide so there's two funds that we have

321
00:12:43,740 --> 00:12:45,540
to report for reporting purposes that we

322
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:47,519
do not budget for that's the city's

323
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,500
economic initiative and the cafe plan so

324
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,720
if we take that out and then we report

325
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,339
differently for like the airport

326
00:12:53,339 --> 00:12:55,220
contribution

327
00:12:55,220 --> 00:12:58,079
leases and Pera we just report those

328
00:12:58,079 --> 00:13:00,540
differently for Budget versus Under Gap

329
00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:02,279
and so we come to that and that's how we

330
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:04,320
get to the far right column of the

331
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,300
adjusted actual this is what our

332
00:13:06,300 --> 00:13:08,579
previous slide showed so then if we

333
00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:10,560
could go down to the second row and we

334
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:12,480
take out the lawsuit adjustment so we

335
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,980
take out the expense and we also reduce

336
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:16,320
the revenues that we did recognize in

337
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,019
2022 and we take out that a fair market

338
00:13:19,019 --> 00:13:21,480
value adjustment we get to our actual

339
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,820
compared to our budget of twenty two

340
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:25,380
thousand one hundred and seventy three

341
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:26,820
dollars where our revenue is actually

342
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:28,680
exceeded our expenditures

343
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:30,480
then if we look at our budget which this

344
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,560
budget is a little bit different than

345
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,420
what was in your packet the numbers are

346
00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:35,220
the same but they're just kind of in

347
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:36,720
different orders due to the adjustments

348
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,100
that were placed

349
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:42,959
we missed the budget by 37 173 dollars

350
00:13:42,959 --> 00:13:46,200
you missed the balance budget nope the

351
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,300
budget that was in the packet Jeff and

352
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:50,399
the information that you got was the

353
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:52,139
budget that wasn't adjusted for some of

354
00:13:52,139 --> 00:13:54,420
those accounting factors okay it was the

355
00:13:54,420 --> 00:13:55,860
one that was in the audit not the one

356
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:57,540
that we want not the one you have seen

357
00:13:57,540 --> 00:14:01,800
all year long in the financial reports

358
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,240
so I think that's really important to

359
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,160
know as we go into the 2024 budget

360
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,300
process

361
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:10,019
the next slide is um at the end of the

362
00:14:10,019 --> 00:14:11,399
year a city should have enough

363
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,740
unassigned fund balance to operate until

364
00:14:13,740 --> 00:14:15,959
June when the first half property taxes

365
00:14:15,959 --> 00:14:17,760
are received

366
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,620
um this is why we have the fund balance

367
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:22,260
between 35 and 50 that's also the state

368
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:25,260
Auditor's recommendation and again we

369
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:28,740
only had 72 days available versus last

370
00:14:28,740 --> 00:14:31,380
year when we had 162 timing of the

371
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:33,720
lawsuit recognition

372
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,579
if we go on to the next slide we have

373
00:14:35,579 --> 00:14:37,320
the

374
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,160
oh let's see here

375
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,199
this is a bar graph for all of the

376
00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:45,779
city's fun ex funds excluding the

377
00:14:45,779 --> 00:14:47,519
airport the library and the Enterprise

378
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,040
funds BPU and sanitarian storm sewer

379
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,260
this shows for the last five years from

380
00:14:52,260 --> 00:14:56,399
2018 to 2022 the biggest differences is

381
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:58,920
the intergovernmental revenue between 21

382
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,260
and 22 and this is a timing of when the

383
00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:03,120
revenue was received for World projects

384
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,680
and then you could also see the

385
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,540
investment income is the fair market of

386
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:08,279
value adjustment being negative for the

387
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,560
last two years

388
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,980
the next slide is a bar graph for all

389
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:15,300
the expenditures for all the

390
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,639
governmental funds again we see the

391
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:19,380
general increase in general government

392
00:15:19,380 --> 00:15:22,260
due to the lawsuit Capital outlay we did

393
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:25,500
delay construction projects in 2022 and

394
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,860
then in just a reminder in 21 we started

395
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:30,779
reporting bpu's debt as well on the

396
00:15:30,779 --> 00:15:35,210
cities we did a prior period adjustment

397
00:15:35,220 --> 00:15:36,660
the next slide show is that we need to

398
00:15:36,660 --> 00:15:39,720
have enough cash at 12 31 2022 when our

399
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,880
debt service funds to pay the February

400
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,339
1st debt payments we had enough cash

401
00:15:44,339 --> 00:15:47,040
plus some if you recall last year we

402
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,300
would like our graph to look more like

403
00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:50,000
how it did in 2019

404
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,019
this was because of how we were

405
00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:53,639
budgeting for prepaid assessments that

406
00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:55,320
we received and we're making that

407
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240
adjustment slowly up as we talked about

408
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,129
during budget process

409
00:16:01,139 --> 00:16:03,899
the last slide I do believe uh this is

410
00:16:03,899 --> 00:16:06,779
the total cities debt this is the bar

411
00:16:06,779 --> 00:16:08,399
graph that shows the city's outstanding

412
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,579
debt by type this includes BPU and most

413
00:16:11,579 --> 00:16:14,220
of our debt is Geo revenue bonds for the

414
00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:17,990
city

415
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,459
slide 21 shows the sanitarian storm

416
00:16:20,459 --> 00:16:22,500
sewer funds these operate like BPU their

417
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,740
Enterprise funds the 2022 numbers were

418
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:28,079
very similar to 2021. in fact our

419
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:30,480
charges for services were down about 4

420
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,639
000 and our operating expenses had

421
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,899
increased 11 600 compared to 2021. we

422
00:16:36,899 --> 00:16:38,779
had a positive net position increase of

423
00:16:38,779 --> 00:16:42,480
426 330 where revenues exceeded

424
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:49,370
expenditures

425
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:52,139
so just a few follow-up insights and

426
00:16:52,139 --> 00:16:54,660
observations over there so overall audit

427
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:56,639
results are positive right no findings

428
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,320
on the single audit you're doing what

429
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,380
the federal government is requiring you

430
00:17:01,380 --> 00:17:03,600
have great staff working here

431
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,579
um very very much want to so get it

432
00:17:05,579 --> 00:17:08,459
right the first time they do contact us

433
00:17:08,459 --> 00:17:10,679
to ensure that it makes the audit go

434
00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:12,900
very well as well

435
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:14,939
um State reporting form and the gfoa

436
00:17:14,939 --> 00:17:16,919
certificate was submitted timely that is

437
00:17:16,919 --> 00:17:19,740
submitted by your staff not us so staff

438
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:21,679
do take care of that to get the award

439
00:17:21,679 --> 00:17:24,299
fund balance reserves general fund kind

440
00:17:24,299 --> 00:17:27,240
of hit on this already 17 percent

441
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,100
um expect that to grow next year then

442
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:31,620
with the revenue coming in the policy

443
00:17:31,620 --> 00:17:34,080
there like Connie said and then paid for

444
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,000
the seven settlements and revenues to be

445
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,799
collected next year

446
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,799
page 23 just hit on some other those

447
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,320
small funds that you have included in

448
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,240
the audit and Connie did point out so

449
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,860
when you go to read the audit you'll

450
00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:48,360
only see general fund and then you

451
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:50,039
actually go right to the revolving loan

452
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:51,539
whereas last year we kind of had all

453
00:17:51,539 --> 00:17:53,340
four of those back to back so you could

454
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:55,080
combine them all so a little bit of

455
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,660
change there revolving Loan Fund had a

456
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:59,160
positive change in fund balance so we

457
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,919
received about 31 000 in loan repayments

458
00:18:01,919 --> 00:18:04,440
there Debt Service fund restricted fund

459
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,080
balance of about 31 million expenditures

460
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,020
about 5.5 million now a lot of that is

461
00:18:10,020 --> 00:18:12,240
two from the component unit as Connie

462
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,039
said BPU there

463
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:16,679
fund balance did decrease spin down of

464
00:18:16,679 --> 00:18:19,320
on proceeds miscellaneous revenues when

465
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,880
you look at that is the interest coming

466
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,700
from BPU for the bond payments it is

467
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:25,799
just going right back out

468
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:27,960
capital projects fund had an assigned

469
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,419
fund balance of about 1.2 million with

470
00:18:30,419 --> 00:18:33,660
expenditures about 6.8 there did

471
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:36,620
transfer in about transfers in taxes

472
00:18:36,620 --> 00:18:39,240
intergovernmental about 5.5 million to

473
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,400
pay for those projects and when you look

474
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,380
at that fund you actually did spend it

475
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:45,299
down a little bit so it came in at a

476
00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:48,720
loss of about 1.1 there but still with a

477
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,430
1.3 million fund balance at the end

478
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,539
so that was a brief overview I didn't

479
00:18:57,539 --> 00:18:58,679
know if there were any follow-up

480
00:18:58,679 --> 00:19:02,340
questions any questions of our auditor

481
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:05,640
or our finance director president yes Mr

482
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,220
chezik Quick I think I there's an item

483
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:10,320
in there called customer deposits what

484
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,059
is that

485
00:19:12,059 --> 00:19:14,520
I don't remember the dollar amount

486
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,919
is that is it going to be BPU or is that

487
00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:18,660
going to be the city I'd have to go back

488
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:22,740
I I just it's just it must be BPU I I

489
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:24,240
that's what I was thinking

490
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,980
because it would be the prepayments from

491
00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:27,980
the customers

492
00:19:27,980 --> 00:19:30,960
the only deposits that the

493
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,280
that's the only deposits that the city

494
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,700
have are like if we hold an escrow for a

495
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:37,559
big building project until the Grass

496
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:38,880
Grows or something like that but those

497
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,679
are called deposits payable so I do

498
00:19:40,679 --> 00:19:43,430
believe it was probably

499
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,780
thank you thank you anything else Mr

500
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:48,240

00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,960
several months with collecting a list of

518
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,360
capital Assets in the Parks at this time

um we are reaching I'll say the the

531
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:12,720
Final Phase of a project that's it's

532
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,059
probably started 18 months ago uh to

533
00:21:15,059 --> 00:21:16,740
develop master plan for every Park in

534
00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:19,020
Brainerd and then to identify the

535
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:21,179
capital items in those parks and find a

536
00:21:21,179 --> 00:21:24,539
way to maintain and improve what we have

537
00:21:24,539 --> 00:21:26,760
so what I've handed out is a breakdown

538
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,820
of the Assets in the park uh in your

539
00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:31,980
packet this week you had a detailed list

540
00:21:31,980 --> 00:21:35,760
of every item this breaks it out by Park

541
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,799
and by kind of activity

542
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:41,280
write Sports uh General Park equipment

543
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,299
playground equipment things like that so

544
00:21:44,299 --> 00:21:46,679
the park board put in a tremendous

545
00:21:46,679 --> 00:21:47,820
amount of work I'm really proud of

546
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:49,980
everyone on the board we went to every

547
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:51,900
single Park in the city and walked

548
00:21:51,900 --> 00:21:54,000
through and picked out right there's 12

549
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,940
picnic benches here there's you know 18

550
00:21:56,940 --> 00:21:59,039
street lights anything you can imagine

551
00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,260
every component of a tennis court a

552
00:22:01,260 --> 00:22:03,539
basketball court and that's how we got

553
00:22:03,539 --> 00:22:05,880
to these numbers so we're really excited

554
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,679
to start working with you to develop a

555
00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:10,919
plan going forward we have a lot of

556
00:22:10,919 --> 00:22:13,020
wonderful parks and we want to maintain

557
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:15,299
them so I will turn it over to Kevin

558
00:22:15,299 --> 00:22:18,000
who's got kind of some ideas and how we

559
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,440
want to gather information on that

560
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,200
fantastic thank you Miss shape

561
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,760
um okay guys well uh if you'll remember

562
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,159
not all of you uh were present but about

563
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:27,720
two years ago I promised you that we

564
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,159
would get a budget that actually made

565
00:22:29,159 --> 00:22:30,780
sense and was more forward thinking that

566
00:22:30,780 --> 00:22:32,580
one we have been operating on for quite

567
00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:34,620
some time so it's taken a while but we

568
00:22:34,620 --> 00:22:36,120
finally got in there and and basically

569
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:39,419
to summarize uh Andrew's Point we've now

570
00:22:39,419 --> 00:22:41,400
basically have a list of every single

571
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,840
thing that we own on a capital side

572
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,360
within our Parks we have also not only

573
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:46,679
created that list but we've also

574
00:22:46,679 --> 00:22:48,600
projected the dates of when those items

575
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,080
we think need to be replaced so as we

576
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
have that information we can then create

577
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,240
a chart that basically says what we

578
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,360
think we need for Capital operating to

579
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,340
maintain these items to just a basic

580
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:05,159
level of 50-year replacement you'll see

581
00:23:05,159 --> 00:23:06,720
that this is broken down in both 30-year

582
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,640
and 50 year but generally speaking in

583
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,380
Industry standards 50-year on most

584
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:12,720
Capital items that need replaced some of

585
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,059
them we know are shorter for instance

586
00:23:15,059 --> 00:23:16,740
like a splash pad we know does not last

587
00:23:16,740 --> 00:23:19,440
50 years it lasts a shorter duration we

588
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,120
go by the manufacturer's recommendations

589
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:23,100
of like 30 years something like that so

590
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:24,419
if you take all that math and you work

591
00:23:24,419 --> 00:23:25,860
it backwards you're going to see this

592
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:27,659
chart that we've created here which is a

593
00:23:27,659 --> 00:23:29,460
30-year capital year-to-year budget

594
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:31,860
chart on the right hand side and you

595
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:34,919
will notice that there is a dramatic um

596
00:23:34,919 --> 00:23:37,020
Heist a dramatically High starting point

597
00:23:37,020 --> 00:23:40,020
and then as it reaches a a maturity date

598
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:42,120
of around 2034 it begins to kind of

599
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,940
level off uh and those these numbers are

600
00:23:44,940 --> 00:23:46,980
not intended to scare anyone or say that

601
00:23:46,980 --> 00:23:48,659
we've done a bad job or that we're in

602
00:23:48,659 --> 00:23:50,400
trouble or anything like that what it is

603
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,679
intended to do is to illustrate that we

604
00:23:52,679 --> 00:23:55,559
feel that there is a gap in maintenance

605
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,600
that has occurred over the past 25 30

606
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,460
years that is now beginning to expose

607
00:23:59,460 --> 00:24:01,679
itself we have a perfect manifestation

608
00:24:01,679 --> 00:24:03,419
of exactly what I'm talking about yes

609
00:24:03,419 --> 00:24:04,980
last year with our softball lights

610
00:24:04,980 --> 00:24:06,840
seemingly a problem that comes out of

611
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720
nowhere that no one knew was coming or

612
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,280
if we did we didn't plan for it

613
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,860
accordingly so I would think of the

614
00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:15,419
chart that you see there as more of a

615
00:24:15,419 --> 00:24:17,100
representation of what we believe the

616
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,039
blight is or what we believe were behind

617
00:24:20,039 --> 00:24:22,440
if we were perfectly up to date we would

618
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,179
be able to kind of just Cruise along at

619
00:24:24,179 --> 00:24:26,880
this 600 roughly Grand per year and

620
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,200
maintain everything we have and we would

621
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,760
have money set aside to replace our

622
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,559
splash pad and to replace Lyman P white

623
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:33,659
when it reaches its age and so forth and

624
00:24:33,659 --> 00:24:36,360
you would have that kind of steady

625
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,460
um cost per year to maintain your

626
00:24:38,460 --> 00:24:39,960
Capital we don't have that obviously

627
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,520
because again we believe that we're

628
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,080
blighted in in some areas pretty

629
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,940
severely so that's why you see it very

630
00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:47,580
front end loaded here money-wise also

631
00:24:47,580 --> 00:24:49,500
keep in mind these charts do not uh

632
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:51,799
anticipate or project anything any

633
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:55,380
monetary value for inflation we believe

634
00:24:55,380 --> 00:24:57,659
that inflation happens in Parks or in

635
00:24:57,659 --> 00:24:59,820
capital at a higher rate than standard

636
00:24:59,820 --> 00:25:01,520
National inflation and this is because

637
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,960
typically construction inflation

638
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,480
increases faster than National inflation

639
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,700
so that's not taking any of that account

640
00:25:08,700 --> 00:25:11,520
okay so this is a broad stroke tool this

641
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,159
is not a surgical instrument that's in

642
00:25:14,159 --> 00:25:16,140
front of you here it's just intended to

643
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,700
kind of show you guys what we think

644
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:19,679
we've discovered and then what we're

645
00:25:19,679 --> 00:25:22,260
really asking for is for you guys to

646
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:24,059
spend some time just look at this and

647
00:25:24,059 --> 00:25:26,039
give us some ideas on how we think we

648
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:27,740
might attack this over the next 30 years

649
00:25:27,740 --> 00:25:31,020
and we've kind of put together what we

650
00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:32,460
think are some very broad stroke

651
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:35,220
strategies and that's what's you see in

652
00:25:35,220 --> 00:25:36,299
your packet tonight and I'm just going

653
00:25:36,299 --> 00:25:39,240
to hit those really quickly just so we

654
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,179
can talk about what might be potential

655
00:25:42,179 --> 00:25:44,600
strategies and how you do this

656
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,799
the first ones are fundraising

657
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,020
strategies obviously you close a Gap a

658
00:25:49,020 --> 00:25:51,240
money Gap by creating money that's one

659
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,240
strategy one is fundraising charging for

660
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,279
events raising fees activities programs

661
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:58,580
reservations those types of things

662
00:25:58,580 --> 00:26:01,860
there's also a factor that could be

663
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:03,840
considered where you use the assets in

664
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,620
your Park to create funds or Revenue in

665
00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:09,480
branding for instance you take a park

666
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,520
and you sell The Branding as this park

667
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,620
is such and such of an entity at such

668
00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:16,020
and such Park and you sell branding on

669
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:17,640
your those are all examples of how you

670
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,679
might raise money to help cover this Gap

671
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:21,779
second is you request your Community

672
00:26:21,779 --> 00:26:23,520
Partners and clubs to take over a

673
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,900
greater share of ownership this would be

674
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:26,700
Kiwanis rotary those types of things and

675
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:28,799
you re we would really reach out and

676
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:30,900
really lean on them to not just help

677
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,580
when items get built but really help to

678
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:35,179
maintain them in perpetuity

679
00:26:35,179 --> 00:26:38,159
third one now not crazy about it maybe

680
00:26:38,159 --> 00:26:39,720
some people are some people aren't but a

681
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,220
referendum you go back to the taxpayers

682
00:26:41,220 --> 00:26:43,260
and say we have a gap to maintain our

683
00:26:43,260 --> 00:26:45,059
Parks we believe that we could maintain

684
00:26:45,059 --> 00:26:46,740
our parks at a much higher level if we

685
00:26:46,740 --> 00:26:48,720
had more money would you help that's

686
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,120
certainly one strategy uh then you have

687
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,760
the non-fundraising strategies one of

688
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,559
those obviously is you do nothing you

689
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:57,900
absolutely just maintain what you have

690
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:01,140
and you fix only what's broken and it's

691
00:27:01,140 --> 00:27:04,140
a much more reactive strategy but it's a

692
00:27:04,140 --> 00:27:06,179
much less expensive strategy for sure in

693
00:27:06,179 --> 00:27:08,220
the short short run it's my belief that

694
00:27:08,220 --> 00:27:10,440
we've been using that basic strategy for

695
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,200
about 30 years and it is now really

696
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,840
beginning to show

697
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,460
that with the condition of some of our

698
00:27:17,460 --> 00:27:20,340
parks in our Park spaces another one is

699
00:27:20,340 --> 00:27:22,020
to avoid what we call the grant trap

700
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:24,840
which is we are constantly being

701
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,580
bombarded with a grant that allows us to

702
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:28,020
build that or to build this or to build

703
00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:29,820
this which is really exciting and

704
00:27:29,820 --> 00:27:32,039
fascinating and and great for instant

705
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:34,679
Improvement but it actually creates a

706
00:27:34,679 --> 00:27:36,600
greater long-term burden so one of those

707
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,980
is one of the things we feel pretty

708
00:27:37,980 --> 00:27:39,480
strongly about is to really try to avoid

709
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,179
those Grant traps

710
00:27:41,179 --> 00:27:45,440
another potential mindset would be to

711
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,880
think about our Parks more as green

712
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,799
spaces and not so much buildings and

713
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:51,539
structures and when Capital maintenance

714
00:27:51,539 --> 00:27:53,760
items comes up maybe at that time you

715
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,200
have the conversation of should we just

716
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,000
demolish this and reduce our greater

717
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,620
burden going forward that doesn't mean

718
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:00,299
you tear down an entire park but what it

719
00:28:00,299 --> 00:28:01,380
does mean I'm just going to use an

720
00:28:01,380 --> 00:28:02,940
example is you take for instance Mills

721
00:28:02,940 --> 00:28:05,820
field that has a really high amount of

722
00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:07,860
decking that's around one side that

723
00:28:07,860 --> 00:28:09,480
needs a lot of work at this point and

724
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,220
you say instead of decking we're going

725
00:28:11,220 --> 00:28:12,360
to put in concrete or we're going to

726
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:13,860
remove those patios just to remove the

727
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:16,140
burden so that's just one example of how

728
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:18,900
you can reduce your burden by removing

729
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:20,700
capital or just having a different

730
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,440
mindset and then the last one is just

731
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,640
life cycle planning and replacement

732
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,140
that's really what we're pitching do you

733
00:28:25,140 --> 00:28:27,360
guys here this evening is is you you

734
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:30,419
think of the long-term game you think

735
00:28:30,419 --> 00:28:32,880
about setting aside money today because

736
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,140
you know you're going to have to replace

737
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:38,520
something 10 or 20 years from now it's a much more long-term Visionary

738
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,200
approach to managing your money and your

739
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,539
Capital items and that I know you guys

740
00:28:42,539 --> 00:28:44,279
have a long meeting here already but and

741
00:28:44,279 --> 00:28:46,140
that in in kind of a nutshell is kind of

742
00:28:46,140 --> 00:28:48,900
where we're at so we'd encourage you to

743
00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:50,820
reach out to our the liaison Park Board

744
00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:53,460
liaison which is Dave or even come to

745
00:28:53,460 --> 00:28:55,440
our next meeting we meet basically once

746
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,179
every Tuesday not quite but pretty close

747
00:28:57,179 --> 00:28:58,919
we meet every other Tuesday generally

748
00:28:58,919 --> 00:29:00,720
and our next meeting is coming up

749
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,779
Tuesday so we really would love feedback

750
00:29:03,779 --> 00:29:05,220
from you guys

751
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:08,940
on what to do or how we may attack this

752
00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:10,919
as a team between Park Board and city

753
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:13,620
council working together with a mindset

754
00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:17,820
that is less reactive less myopic and a

755
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:19,980
more long-term Vision on how to do this

756
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:21,659
because we haven't even started our 2024

757
00:29:21,659 --> 00:29:23,880
budget yet we have one set aside but

758
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,740
we've really just now got these numbers

759
00:29:25,740 --> 00:29:27,659
and we'd really like your feedback

760
00:29:27,659 --> 00:29:29,700
before we put a 2024 in front of you

761
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:32,460
that is has some version of a vision

762
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:35,520
attached to it so with that um if you

763
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,779
have any questions any questions

764
00:29:36,779 --> 00:29:39,600
president Bevins yes

765
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,220
um I read the item that was in our

766
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:43,320
packet and I apologize if it's there and

767
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,720
I can't remember but the as this assets

768
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,580
Does it include parking lots and trails

769
00:29:47,580 --> 00:29:50,640
it depends uh generally speaking uh if

770
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,559
the parking lot is right in the middle

771
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:54,960
of our park for instance an example of

772
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,320
this would be a lum then we did put a

773
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,000
value in there for the replacement of

774
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,399
that parking lot uh sidewalks that are

775
00:30:02,399 --> 00:30:04,980
inside our parks are but it does not

776
00:30:04,980 --> 00:30:07,919
have items like grass or trees or

777
00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:09,960
necessarily those types of things think

778
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,700
of this as more of hard structure

779
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:14,880
buildings light fixtures water fountains

780
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,820
playground equipment flag poles stadiums

781
00:30:17,820 --> 00:30:19,500
that kind of stuff fencing more of that

782
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:21,360
type of thing and that's why you see for

783
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,700
instance a gap in the cost of Lyman P

784
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,740
white was much more than what we're

785
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,000
showing here is the capital value and

786
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,080
that's because we didn't put a value to

787
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,539
the grass and trees and plantings and

788
00:30:30,539 --> 00:30:31,919
those kind of things but more just the

789
00:30:31,919 --> 00:30:33,720
pure cap so this is just the capital

790
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,940
side so I don't know if that's even

791
00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:37,559
worse news or not but that is just the

792
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:40,549
capital side

793
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:42,120
anything else

794
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,760
any other questions

795
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,279
any other Mr ordain

796
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:47,940
um

797
00:30:47,940 --> 00:30:50,640
just the capital side so just a rough

798
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,980
estimate between this ask of 1.5 million

799
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:57,600
that doesn't include Park's maintenance

800
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,760
correct this is just the capital side

801
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,380
and what were we at last year for Parks

802
00:31:01,380 --> 00:31:08,570
maintenance I don't know okay just curious

803
00:31:08,580 --> 00:31:11,700
any other questions uh Kara Terry I

804
00:31:11,700 --> 00:31:13,080
don't have a question but I just

805
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,179
appreciate all of this work this was a

806
00:31:15,179 --> 00:31:18,419
lot for you guys to take on holy moly so

807
00:31:18,419 --> 00:31:20,279
thank you for doing that and and I would

808
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:23,460
appreciate a joint Workshop as well I

809
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:25,020
think that would be really good

810
00:31:25,020 --> 00:31:26,399
yeah that's great I think I failed to

811
00:31:26,399 --> 00:31:27,840
mention that would be a possibility too

812
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,580
I think I mentioned uh working through

813
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:31,860
Dave or coming to the coming to a park

814
00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:33,299
board meeting but a joint Workshop we

815
00:31:33,299 --> 00:31:35,220
would love that also we had one that

816
00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,659
kind of kicked off all of this work if

817
00:31:36,659 --> 00:31:38,640
you guys remember so it might be great

818
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,500
to just get back one more time and just

819
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:42,659
talk about it and see if we can come up

820
00:31:42,659 --> 00:31:44,100
with a strategy strategy is probably a

821
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:46,020
combination of several or even all of

822
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:47,940
these things don't know but we really

823

Mr President we did have uh originally

879
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,800
seven items and spw tonight we had an

880
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,879
additional

881
00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:17,460
total of eight uh

882
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:19,440
first item was a discussion on the

883
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,359
assessment reductions due to the detours

884
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:24,899
on Norwood Street 14th and 17th we had

885
00:34:24,899 --> 00:34:26,760
some individuals in here speaking last

886
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,280
week this was just a discussion item

887
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,379
tonight staff's recommendation was not

888
00:34:31,379 --> 00:34:32,760
to

889
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,280
um make any motions or or move forward

890
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,200
on on any reductions to these

891
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,480
assessments

892
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,000
this streets project might happen five

893
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,460
six seven years from now and by what

894
00:34:44,460 --> 00:34:46,619
we've seen in this in this memo it would

895
00:34:46,619 --> 00:34:48,300
be a reduction in their assessment of

896
00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:49,139
maybe

897
00:34:49,139 --> 00:34:52,379
30 or 40 or 50 dollars six years from

898
00:34:52,379 --> 00:34:55,080
now what we did direct staff to do was

899
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,599
pay some extra attention to that road as

900
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:00,420
soon as we end The Detour and do

901
00:35:00,420 --> 00:35:02,580
whatever repairs we need to do necessary

902
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:05,099
to to clean it up from whatever recent

903
00:35:05,099 --> 00:35:07,859
damages might have occurred or added to

904
00:35:07,859 --> 00:35:09,480
what was already there

905
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,940
and the staff was receptive to say that

906
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:14,520
we can we can go ahead and make sure we

907
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,800
clean it up as best as we can

908
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,359
but that was just uh that was just a

909
00:35:18,359 --> 00:35:20,160
discussion item so no motion there hold

910
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,380
on was there was something though that

911
00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:25,320
was we had directed staff on the signs

912
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,599
did it I I know the answer to this but

913
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,119
for the public record what what happened

914
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,640
there with it trying to detour trucks

915
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,400
further south right yes sir Mr chair so

916

we did have a vendor to deliver one sign

917
00:35:37,619 --> 00:35:39,599
and ended up just west of the

918
00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:42,480
intersection of Highways 18 and 25 uh

919
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,119
that sign did in intoclude messaging

920
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:46,920
that said Oak Street was closed and that

921
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,040
trucks were to use an alternative route

922
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,119
we had a second sign that we were

923
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:53,520
waiting for from that vendor however it

924
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,079
was broken waiting for repairs and we

925
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:56,760
have not seen that one that one was

926
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,180
intended to go just east of 13th Street

927
00:35:59,180 --> 00:36:01,680
at this point we're expecting the road

928
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,020
to be reopened on Thursday so it did

929
00:36:04,020 --> 00:36:05,579
inform the vendor that we're probably

930
00:36:05,579 --> 00:36:06,960
not going to need that sign at this

931
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,300
point so we were hoping for a second

932
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:10,980
sign but we just weren't able to acquire

933
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:14,160
it thank you anything else on the Oaks

934
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,240
The Detour chairman Johnson yeah I I do

935
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,280
think we should do something about the

936
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,660
assessments but I think it should be

937
00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:24,599
done by the council in 2026 when they're

938
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:26,280
setting the assessments for the project

939
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,700
but I know the MnDOT policy that was

940
00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:32,700
included in the agenda or calculation

941
00:36:32,700 --> 00:36:35,400
included how MnDOT does theirs

942
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,240
but MnDOT directs truck traffic onto

943
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,300
truck traffic type roads Norwood Street

944
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:44,520
is a four ton

945
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,980
maximum road so the amount of truck

946
00:36:46,980 --> 00:36:48,300
traffic and fifth wheelers and

947
00:36:48,300 --> 00:36:50,099
everything that's been on there has done

948
00:36:50,099 --> 00:36:52,800
a lot of damage and I think I think that

949
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,900
few blocks stretch of road we should

950
00:36:54,900 --> 00:36:56,400
make note that when the assessments are

951
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,400
being set in a few years that we did the

952
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,520
city detoured trucks that are not that

953
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,859
are too big to even fit on that road to

954
00:37:04,859 --> 00:37:06,240
use it that wasn't what that

955
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:07,920
neighborhood did it was what the city

956
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,359
did and I think we should take

957
00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:11,760
responsibility for our actions

958
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,339
thank you any other comments on the

959
00:37:14,339 --> 00:37:16,740
Norwood Oak Street detour

960
00:37:16,740 --> 00:37:19,380
thank you please proceed thank you Mr

961
00:37:19,380 --> 00:37:21,720
President uh next item was uh the

962
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,400
approval of the Brainerd Transit Fair

963
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,280
increase as most you remember we had

964
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,520
this on our agenda two weeks ago

965
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,300
um

966
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:33,240
and we started a discussion in committee

967
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,280
but the the motion

968
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,440
came to move this discussion to full

969
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,619
Council and I still moved second

970
00:37:40,619 --> 00:37:43,500
well we can't really that's not really

971
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:45,300
emotionary I was gonna ask if you wanted

972
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:47,700
a motion we don't need it we're going to

973
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:49,619
detail it right now why don't you like

974
00:37:49,619 --> 00:37:52,020
can you lay out the issue for everybody

975
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:55,200
who maybe hasn't heard it over on PNF I

976
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,780
would pass it to Mr Dean Mr Dean can you

977
00:37:57,780 --> 00:38:00,359
lay out the issue and what's a

978
00:38:00,359 --> 00:38:01,619
recommendation out of the transit

979
00:38:01,619 --> 00:38:04,380
committee was thank you Mr President uh

980
00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:07,140
so staff reported uh provided the

981
00:38:07,140 --> 00:38:10,079
financial analysis that was done uh last

982
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:11,460
spring and that was presented to the

983
00:38:11,460 --> 00:38:13,380
tech Committee in April

984
00:38:13,380 --> 00:38:15,000
um through that Tech committee they did

985
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,300
uh vote to move the recommendations uh

986
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:20,760
they did not formally recommend the fair

987
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
increases they wanted to let the

988
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,079
councils and Boards elect them

989
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:26,640
themselves without that recommendation

990
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,920
but they did move forward with the other

991
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,079
recommendations

992
00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:33,079
we did summarize in the agenda the

993
00:38:33,079 --> 00:38:35,220
actions taken by our three Cooperative

994
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,859
Partners to date so Baxter Crow Wing

995
00:38:37,859 --> 00:38:40,020
County and Pine River have all taken

996
00:38:40,020 --> 00:38:42,240
actions generally going with the staff

997
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,220
recommendations with the exception of a

998
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,740
one slight change by the Baxter city

999
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:48,480
council that did increase their fares

1000
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,240
beyond what we recommended so at this

1001
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,760
time with the analysis we are

1002
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,260
recommending that Brainerd increase

1003
00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:57,839
their fares to four dollars for a

1004
00:38:57,839 --> 00:39:00,480
Brainerd originating trip with a

1005
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,540
same-day service of eight dollars I did

1006
00:39:03,540 --> 00:39:05,579
want to note that uh

1007
00:39:05,579 --> 00:39:08,040
with the changes to the service and the

1008
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,500
removal of Pine River we did have to

1009
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:13,320
come up with a way to project what the

1010
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,060
expenses and the share of the expenses

1011
00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:18,300
were so part of the methodology that we

1012
00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:20,160
use when preparing this spreadsheet was

1013
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,400
generally a fuel cost analysis So based

1014
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,220
on the ridership a rough cost of fuel

1015
00:39:26,220 --> 00:39:29,460
per Rider and developing that we use

1016
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:31,560
that percentage of how much fuel was

1017
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,020
going into each of the three remaining

1018
00:39:34,020 --> 00:39:36,000
Cooperative Partners to a kind of

1019
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,359
established or put a draft percentage of

1020
00:39:39,359 --> 00:39:42,180
the expenses moving forward and that's

1021
00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:44,579
how we divided out what the recommended

1022
00:39:44,579 --> 00:39:47,880
options expenses would be split moving

1023
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,920
forward so that's how we kind of came up

1024
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,380
with the the recommendation is as we

1025
00:39:52,380 --> 00:39:55,140
have it there and with those fears

1026
00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:56,880
that's kind of where we came to with the

1027
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,160
recommendation on that but with that I

1028
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,200
have would be willing to answer any

1029
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,240
other questions any questions of Staff

1030
00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:07,010
as to the issue

1031
00:40:07,020 --> 00:40:11,060
okay so this was on spnw

1032
00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:14,640
last two weeks ago it ended up being a

1033
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,040
tie vote so the mayor was absent so we

1034
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,960
pushed it on to

1035
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,520
tonight

1036
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,680
the recommendation on the transportation

1037
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,380
advisory committee is to move it to four

1038
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:28,800
dollars correct Mr Dean

1039
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,540
they did not formally make a

1040
00:40:30,540 --> 00:40:32,339
recommendation on the fair increases

1041
00:40:32,339 --> 00:40:34,200
there's no recommendation from the

1042
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,440
Transportation advisory committee so

1043
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,900
why is this here

1044
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:41,700
so this is this was a staff

1045
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:43,200
recommendation that was presided

1046
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,359
prevented

1047
00:40:44,359 --> 00:40:46,800
has the attack discussed it but chose

1048
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,720
not to make a recommendation they did

1049
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,220
not want to formally recommend any of

1050
00:40:50,220 --> 00:40:52,440
the fair increases they felt that they

1051
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,820
wanted to leave that up to the boards

1052
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:55,200
and councils to make their own decisions

1053
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,700
on the matter you got an open floor

1054
00:40:56,700 --> 00:41:00,599
anybody want to tear if we don't have a

1055
00:41:00,599 --> 00:41:03,240
motion there's not a lot to discuss we

1056
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:05,040
can you know we can do that on the

1057
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,680
sidewalk so we're looking for a motion

1058
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,800
Mr President yes Mr chezik I'll make a

1059
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,440
motion that we increase the fares to a

1060
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,660
advance notice in the city limits of

1061
00:41:15,660 --> 00:41:17,220
brainer to three dollars a ride and a

1062
00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:19,560
same-day call for six dollars a ride

1063
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,260
okay so that's one dollar less than

1064
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:24,480
staff recommendation yes well and two on

1065
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,119
the yeah two on same day thank you we

1066
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:28,920
have a motion

1067
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:34,980
is there a second oh second

1068
00:41:34,980 --> 00:41:39,240
we have a motion to increase the fare uh

1069
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:41,339
is this a same effective date of August

1070
00:41:41,339 --> 00:41:45,180
21st Mr Cheswick to three dollars per

1071
00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:47,579
ride and six dollars on same day

1072
00:41:47,579 --> 00:41:49,740
we have a second by Chief stunic any

1073
00:41:49,740 --> 00:41:52,980
discussion Mr ordain obviously this

1074
00:41:52,980 --> 00:41:56,700
would expand a shortfall where where uh

1075
00:41:56,700 --> 00:41:58,800
where would that get filled in

1076
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,960
where would the money come from

1077
00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:04,020
potentially uh right now we have a small

1078
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:05,940
fund balance if that would be expended

1079
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:08,160
it would have to come out of uh the

1080
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:09,720
city's general fund if that was the city

1081
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,180
that had a shortfall

1082
00:42:12,180 --> 00:42:13,260
okay

1083
00:42:13,260 --> 00:42:14,760
so there still leaves us with the

1084
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,260
shortfall

1085
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:20,089
any further discussion

1086
00:42:20,099 --> 00:42:21,960
and Mr chairman

1087
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,460
um

1088
00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:25,500
this service costs money we all know

1089
00:42:25,500 --> 00:42:28,800
that and uh

1090
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,940
at this time I feel the four dollar and

1091
00:42:32,940 --> 00:42:35,820
Eight dollar fares

1092
00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:38,339
are just going to affect people too much

1093
00:42:38,339 --> 00:42:40,859
that don't have

1094
00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:42,960
any other options

1095
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,780
and I know we have to we have to cover

1096
00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:48,960
our costs to some degree and I feel this

1097
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,260
is more of a compromise Fair increase

1098
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:53,400
I

1099
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,339
if the projections are correct

1100
00:42:56,339 --> 00:42:59,339
um it will be short but um I just call

1101
00:42:59,339 --> 00:43:00,720
I'll just call this a compromise

1102
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:04,140
increase thank you thank you

1103
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:06,540
any further discussions chairman Johnson

1104
00:43:06,540 --> 00:43:09,599
thank you Mr President I was uh ready to

1105
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:12,359
vote no on a increase to four and eight

1106
00:43:12,359 --> 00:43:16,380
we already increased it from 125 to

1107
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:20,160
say that 225 now or something this year

1108
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,960
and it's public transportation so I

1109
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,060
don't want to squeeze people

1110
00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:25,560
you know try to turn this into a

1111
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,359
profitable Venture but I also don't want

1112
00:43:27,359 --> 00:43:29,460
to use any Levy dollars it should be

1113
00:43:29,460 --> 00:43:33,420
able to fund itself it just seems that

1114
00:43:33,420 --> 00:43:35,520
is the transit department is just

1115
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,280
spending entirely too much money

1116
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,920
you know Personnel costs of one hundred

1117
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:42,300
twenty thousand dollars don't we only

1118
00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:44,339
have one in one employee there now

1119
00:43:44,339 --> 00:43:46,319
instead of two

1120
00:43:46,319 --> 00:43:49,260
so I don't think that 120 000 number is

1121
00:43:49,260 --> 00:43:50,280
right

1122
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,440
you know the big thing is just the the

1123
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,079
three PC contract of over a million

1124
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:57,119
dollars I don't get how the

1125
00:43:57,119 --> 00:43:59,040
transportation advisory committee

1126
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,859
consult confidently

1127
00:44:01,859 --> 00:44:05,160
the demand that the city council go with

1128
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,680
the high bidder for busing services

1129
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,540
but then when it comes time to pay for

1130
00:44:09,540 --> 00:44:11,520
that high bidder they can't make a

1131
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,839
decision and they're going to put it off

1132
00:44:12,839 --> 00:44:15,240
on the city council very disappointed in

1133
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:17,940
that committee not quite sure what

1134
00:44:17,940 --> 00:44:20,339
purpose they serve at this point if they

1135
00:44:20,339 --> 00:44:22,260
can't make a recommendation

1136
00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:24,240
but finally

1137
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,460
this financial projection I know it was

1138
00:44:26,460 --> 00:44:28,079
back in April and things change and Pine

1139
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,960
River left and well Pine River has

1140
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,460
decided they want to leave but they are

1141
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:34,440
under contract until they notify Us in

1142
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,540
writing they're still under contract

1143
00:44:36,540 --> 00:44:39,839
with us but this financial analysis said

1144
00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:42,599
same day three dollars or no regular

1145
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:45,540
three dollars same day five dollars and

1146
00:44:45,540 --> 00:44:47,640
the brainerds the Brainerd routes with

1147
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,220
cash flow so I think going three dollars

1148
00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:52,800
and six dollars if we were to trust this

1149
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,359
analysis

1150
00:44:54,359 --> 00:44:56,520
should cash flow the Brainerd side of

1151
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,440
the operation so I think I'll support

1152
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,180
this motion

1153
00:45:00,180 --> 00:45:01,440
thank you

1154
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,180
any further discussion

1155
00:45:06,180 --> 00:45:08,280
since we have a tie vote last time I'll

1156
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,079
ask administer Bergman to call the roll

1157
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:12,060
and if you vote Yes you are supporting

1158
00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:15,440
the three dollars and six dollars

1159
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,380
yes

1160
00:45:18,380 --> 00:45:20,280
Terry yes

1161
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,099

00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:53,460
motion by our day as psychomycesic any

1175
00:45:53,460 --> 00:45:54,720
discussion

1176
00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:56,819
in the discussion chairman all day I'll

1177
00:45:56,819 --> 00:45:59,040
just mention this is um right off

1178
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,200
Southwest fourth you can almost see it from the street

1179
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,700
but you can't really because it's such a

1180
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:07,500
steep hill but if you walk down here and

1181
00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:09,180
look at it these pictures don't do much

1182
00:46:09,180 --> 00:46:10,740
justice but this just came to our

1183
00:46:10,740 --> 00:46:14,460
attention about a week ago and staff

1184
00:46:14,460 --> 00:46:15,960
would like to move forward with this as

1185
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,700
quickly as possible so we can take

1186
00:46:17,700 --> 00:46:19,920
advantage of the low water levels that's

1187
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,380
all washout and a brand new beach for

1188
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:24,300
the individual that owns this chunk of

1189
00:46:24,300 --> 00:46:27,420
property so obviously we gotta clean

1190
00:46:27,420 --> 00:46:30,599
that up fix the pipe that I don't know

1191
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:33,420
if it rusted out or just fell off but

1192
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:36,359
um it turned into a new Gully for us and

1193
00:46:36,359 --> 00:46:37,859
we don't need any more of those right

1194
00:46:37,859 --> 00:46:38,700
now

1195
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:41,819

1196
00:46:41,819 --> 00:46:44,520

1199
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,460
number four was a discussion on the

1200
00:46:50,460 --> 00:46:53,220
street scanning software and proposal uh

1201
00:46:53,220 --> 00:46:55,440
motion coming out of committee was uh to

1202
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,599

1203
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,460
and asset management software services

1204
00:46:59,460 --> 00:47:01,380
in the 10-year Capital plan beginning

1205
00:47:01,380 --> 00:47:05,220
with the the initial scanning in 2024

1206
00:47:05,220 --> 00:47:07,500
ISO moved second we have a motion mild

1207
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:09,420

1208
00:47:09,420 --> 00:47:11,040
day

1209
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,780
um we had a discussion about this last

1210
00:47:12,780 --> 00:47:15,359
year and then we uh we haven't we're

1211
00:47:15,359 --> 00:47:16,920
having it brought back again after

1212
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,660
having kind of shopped around we

1213
00:47:18,660 --> 00:47:21,420
actually had two proposals on the agenda

1214
00:47:21,420 --> 00:47:23,280
in the memo and now we have a third one

1215
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,740
that we are brought just tonight we

1216
00:47:25,740 --> 00:47:27,119
didn't move forward with any of those

1217
00:47:27,119 --> 00:47:30,540
proposals necessarily so we felt

1218
00:47:30,540 --> 00:47:31,680
comfortable moving forward just

1219
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,420
budgeting this and then as those

1220
00:47:33,420 --> 00:47:35,160
proposals come forward with more detail

1221
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,960
we'll be able to pick and choose what we

1222
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,060
want from a street scan

1223
00:47:39,060 --> 00:47:42,060
um whether that be just the street scan

1224
00:47:42,060 --> 00:47:43,079
um

1225
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:45,060

be open to anything that the council

1235
00:48:05,940 --> 00:48:07,680

any more questions I can kind of brush

1267
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,060
on this a little bit but there was a

1268
00:49:33,060 --> 00:49:35,700
pretty lengthy process before it is

1269
00:49:35,700 --> 00:49:37,319
right now currently for anybody that

1270
00:49:37,319 --> 00:49:39,480
wants to contest their citations we

1271
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,579
don't have that happen very often but

1272
00:49:41,579 --> 00:49:44,099
just seeing how expensive it can be in

1273
00:49:44,099 --> 00:49:46,260
the way that we do it right now moving

1274
00:49:46,260 --> 00:49:49,980
it to this more streamlined design would

1275
00:49:49,980 --> 00:49:52,200

joint meeting that we held on May 30th

1367
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,700
with the HRA board and the city council

1368
00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:03,839
where at that meeting we had an overview

1369
00:54:03,839 --> 00:54:06,119
of the tax increment financing kind of

1370
00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:08,160
in general and then we had some

1371
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,140
discussion uh on the potential

1372
00:54:10,140 --> 00:54:11,819
Redevelopment Redevelopment TIF district

1373
00:54:11,819 --> 00:54:14,700
at the former Thrifty White building by

1374
00:54:14,700 --> 00:54:16,559
D.W Jones who's the developer or

1375
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:18,720
proposed developer the Tiff District

1376
00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:21,839
would be a Brainerd HRA TIF district and

1377
00:54:21,839 --> 00:54:24,300
the HRA would be responsible for the

1378
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:25,800
development of the development agreement

1379
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,780
with the developer and required

1380
00:54:27,780 --> 00:54:30,300
reporting of the TIF district however

1381
00:54:30,300 --> 00:54:31,619
the reason that we are in front of

1382
00:54:31,619 --> 00:54:34,140
council is the city is responsible for

1383
00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:35,700
calling and holding that public hearing

1384
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:38,280

1385
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,020

the project area and the tax increment

1437
00:56:37,859 --> 00:56:39,599

considered substandard

1444
00:56:50,780 --> 00:56:52,460
requiring

00:56:52,460 --> 00:56:54,839
upgrade or renovation to the building

1446
00:56:54,839 --> 00:56:57,000

00:57:32,819 --> 00:57:36,119
bedroom units there is 78 units being

1463
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:38,220
housing units being proposed as well as

1464
00:57:38,220 --> 00:57:40,559
65 underground parking stalls and

1465
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:43,500
surface parking to support the project

1466
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:46,640
the tax increment financing plan

1467
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:48,960
includes the general project

1468
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,640
descriptions of the project including

1469
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,680
the statutory Authority which again is

1470
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,300
the qualification as a Redevelopment

1471
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:56,160
District the purpose for which the

1472
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,660
district is being created and again

1473
00:57:57,660 --> 00:57:59,819
that's to facilitate Redevelopment of

1474
00:57:59,819 --> 00:58:02,640
the existing substandard properties into

1475
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,680
the new mixed-use building consisting of

1476
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,660
the both of the first four commercial

1477
00:58:06,660 --> 00:58:09,240
and the housing and it also includes the

1478
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,000
budget of the projected tax increment

1479
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,319
revenues generated by that new

1480
00:58:13,319 --> 00:58:15,119
development and the total development

1481
00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:18,599
costs the county assessor did review the

1482
00:58:18,599 --> 00:58:20,900
Project's

1483
00:58:20,900 --> 00:58:23,339
details and determine a taxable value of

1484
00:58:23,339 --> 00:58:26,400
about 9 million which over 26 years

1485
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:27,780
which is the maximum term of

1486
00:58:27,780 --> 00:58:30,000
Redevelopment District could generate

1487
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,819
about 4.5 million so the budget within

1488
00:58:32,819 --> 00:58:35,520
the Tiff plan is 4.5 million for both

1489
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,260
the total estimated project costs as

1490
00:58:37,260 --> 00:58:38,880
well as the projected tax increment

1491
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:40,440
revenues

1492
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,900
um the first step so as part of this

1493
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:45,059
project the developer is is planning to

1494
00:58:45,059 --> 00:58:46,859
finance it with private sources

1495
00:58:46,859 --> 00:58:49,680
including debt and Equity however due to

1496
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,200
the extraordinary costs associated with

1497
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,420
acquiring the existing property the site

1498
00:58:54,420 --> 00:58:57,180
Improvement demolition costs as well as

1499
00:58:57,180 --> 00:58:59,040
the new construction costs including

1500
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,599
underground parking there are

1501
00:59:00,599 --> 00:59:02,520
significant extraordinary Redevelopment

1502
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,920
costs and tax increment financing has

1503
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,680
been requested by the HRA as an

1504
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,540
additional Gap financing source to help

1505
00:59:09,540 --> 00:59:11,700
close the gap that the private financing

1506
00:59:11,700 --> 00:59:14,299
and Equity cannot support

1507
00:59:14,299 --> 00:59:16,740
the request before the city council

1508
00:59:16,740 --> 00:59:19,079
tonight is to consider after public

1509
00:59:19,079 --> 00:59:21,299
hearing adopting the tax increment plan

1510
00:59:21,299 --> 00:59:24,059
which simply provides the the city and

1511
00:59:24,059 --> 00:59:25,859
the HRA with the authority to use tax

1512
00:59:25,859 --> 00:59:28,380
increment financing and author and

1513
00:59:28,380 --> 00:59:30,839
allows a developer to proceed with some

1514
00:59:30,839 --> 00:59:33,540
of the other financing sources that it

1515
00:59:33,540 --> 00:59:35,520
need that he needs to close the

1516
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:36,920
financing Gap

1517
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,460
should

1518
00:59:38,460 --> 00:59:41,339
the project move forward there would be

1519
00:59:41,339 --> 00:59:43,260
a tax increment financing agreement that

1520
00:59:43,260 --> 00:59:44,760
actually contains the term of the Tiff

1521
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,799
assistance between the HRA and the

1522
00:59:46,799 --> 00:59:49,740
developer and so this again the Tiff

1523
00:59:49,740 --> 00:59:51,599
plan simply provides the authority to

1524
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:54,240
use tax increment financing but it does

1525
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,760
not obligate the HRA or the city council

1526
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,339
in any way for providing Tiff that would

1527
00:59:59,339 --> 01:00:00,660
be where the Tiff agreement would come

1528
01:00:00,660 --> 01:00:02,819
at a later point between the HRA and the

1529
01:00:02,819 --> 01:00:05,870
developer

1530
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,040
um one last piece prior to creating a

1531
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,119
tax increment district there are

1532
01:00:09,119 --> 01:00:11,520
findings that need to be made including

1533
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,319
the again the qualifications as a

1534
01:00:13,319 --> 01:00:15,359
Redevelopment District what you might

1535
01:00:15,359 --> 01:00:17,520
refer to as the bud 4 test and but for

1536
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,260
the assistance the project has proposed

1537
01:00:19,260 --> 01:00:21,440
would not proceed

1538
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,059
and that the taxable value to be created

1539
01:00:24,059 --> 01:00:25,619
on that site is greater with the tax

1540
01:00:25,619 --> 01:00:27,059
increment assistance and if no

1541
01:00:27,059 --> 01:00:29,400
assistance were provided

1542
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,940
as part of reviewing the financials that

1543
01:00:32,940 --> 01:00:34,319
would be included later or the

1544
01:00:34,319 --> 01:00:35,460
financials have been reviewed to

1545
01:00:35,460 --> 01:00:37,559
determine there is a financial gap the

1546
01:00:37,559 --> 01:00:39,240
actual level of Tiff assistance would be

1547
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,520
subject to the other funding sources

1548
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,079
that the developer would receive and

1549
01:00:43,079 --> 01:00:44,520
that again would come at a later date

1550
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,900
within the Tiff assistance agreement

1551
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:50,520
with that overview I'd be happy to

1552
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,079
answer any questions or step aside for

1553
01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:53,400

01:04:50,460 --> 01:04:52,980
the Tiff financing side of it there are

1647
01:04:52,980 --> 01:04:54,599
some matching dollars that that the

1648
01:04:54,599 --> 01:04:57,839
developer or the the deed does require a

1649
01:04:57,839 --> 01:04:59,940
one to two so for every one dollar that

1650
01:04:59,940 --> 01:05:01,980
deed puts in we need to have two dollars

1651
01:05:01,980 --> 01:05:05,520
of match uh by the HRA establishing that

1652
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,380
Tiff District we would have that match

1653
01:05:07,380 --> 01:05:08,819
for that so it makes sense for the HRA

1654
01:05:08,819 --> 01:05:12,059
to be the applicant on this and these

1655
01:05:12,059 --> 01:05:13,680
dollars would be going towards that

1656
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,240
demolition of Redevelopment at the site

1657
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:18,240
it's one piece of the puzzle what we are

1658
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,220
asking for from Council is that you will

1659
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:22,440
give us Municipal consent to do that and

1660
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,599
apply for those funding dollars from

1661
01:05:24,599 --> 01:05:25,559
deed

1662
01:05:25,559 --> 01:05:28,619
perfect any questions of staff

1663
01:05:28,619 --> 01:05:32,339
sure yes Mr chezik um

1664
01:05:32,339 --> 01:05:34,319
what's the amount of the grant you're

1665
01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:38,099
looking for sure so uh final numbers as

1666
01:05:38,099 --> 01:05:39,420
we work with the developer are still

1667
01:05:39,420 --> 01:05:41,520
being determined but somewhere between

1668
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,099
400 and 500 000 they've got about two

1669
01:05:44,099 --> 01:05:46,319
million dollars worth of financing

1670
01:05:46,319 --> 01:05:48,960
available for our August first funding

1671
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,819
deadline they do have another funding

1672
01:05:50,819 --> 01:05:52,799
mechanism that would be in February as

1673
01:05:52,799 --> 01:05:55,260
well we do intend to try to get that

1674
01:05:55,260 --> 01:05:56,880
application submitted for August 1st

1675
01:05:56,880 --> 01:06:01,849
though

1676
01:06:01,859 --> 01:06:03,480
with the creation of that Tiff District

1677
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,420
we would

1678
01:06:06,420 --> 01:06:12,540
any further questions all right thank

1679
01:06:12,540 --> 01:06:16,020

1680
01:06:16,020 --> 01:06:18,119

1691
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:57,240
it was the very next item 9C is the first reading of proposed

1692
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,000
ordinance 1553 establishing Country

1693
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,220

1694
01:07:02,220 --> 01:07:04,619
District consider approval of the

1695
01:07:04,619 --> 01:07:06,599
preliminary plot and final plant for

1696
01:07:06,599 --> 01:07:09,480
Country Manor and consider approval of

1697
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,339
the planned unit development General

1698
01:07:11,339 --> 01:07:14,220
concept plan and development stage plan

1699
01:07:14,220 --> 01:07:18,180
for Country Manor James cranback thank

1700
01:07:18,180 --> 01:07:20,039
you Mr President tell us what we need to

1701
01:07:20,039 --> 01:07:22,319
know okay so Country Manor has submitted

1702
01:07:22,319 --> 01:07:24,000
a request to construct a senior living

1703
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,579
facility comprised of 92 apartments and

1704
01:07:26,579 --> 01:07:28,920
18 Memory Care units a child care

1705
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,200
facility for eight infants 14 toddlers

1706
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,420
40 preschoolers and 30 school-age

1707
01:07:33,420 --> 01:07:36,119
children and for a rehabilitation

1708
01:07:36,119 --> 01:07:38,220
service for residents and the general

1709
01:07:38,220 --> 01:07:40,619
public so this is really a three-step

1710
01:07:40,619 --> 01:07:42,599
process tonight the first step in the

1711
01:07:42,599 --> 01:07:44,819
process is to create a PUD District

1712
01:07:44,819 --> 01:07:46,799
which allows Country Manor flexibility

1713
01:07:46,799 --> 01:07:48,960
on lot sizes as well as proposed uses

1714
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,480
the proposed Country Manor PUD district

1715
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,000
has an underlying cn2 District for

1716
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,440
anything that is not called out in the

1717
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,720
table that's been provided the Pud

1718
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,819
District allows for commercial day cares

1719
01:07:59,819 --> 01:08:01,740
as a permitted use instead of a

1720
01:08:01,740 --> 01:08:04,380
conditional use in the cn2 and also adds

1721
01:08:04,380 --> 01:08:06,599
Office business clinics as a conditional

1722
01:08:06,599 --> 01:08:08,579
use in the cn2 which would not have been

1723
01:08:08,579 --> 01:08:11,700
allowed previously it also increases the

1724
01:08:11,700 --> 01:08:14,039
impervious surface percentage to 75

1725
01:08:14,039 --> 01:08:16,620
percent from 60 percent so the second

1726
01:08:16,620 --> 01:08:18,960
step is replatting the property to allow

1727
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,060
for the creation of two lots and three

1728
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:23,279
Outlets as well as planning for a

1729
01:08:23,279 --> 01:08:25,440
potential future right-of-ways the

1730
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:27,480
re-plat allows for the consolidation of

1731
01:08:27,480 --> 01:08:29,759
lot one block one that's been included

1732
01:08:29,759 --> 01:08:31,799
in the packet makes it possible for the

1733
01:08:31,799 --> 01:08:33,779
senior living facility to be constructed

1734
01:08:33,779 --> 01:08:35,759
on the north side of the property as a

1735
01:08:35,759 --> 01:08:37,380
construction cannot occur across

1736
01:08:37,380 --> 01:08:39,719
property lines the last step tonight is

1737
01:08:39,719 --> 01:08:41,940
to review the plan unit development's

1738
01:08:41,940 --> 01:08:43,380
General concept plan and development

1739
01:08:43,380 --> 01:08:45,719
stage plan these processes can be done

1740
01:08:45,719 --> 01:08:48,000
at the same time and a PUD is required

1741
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,339
because Country Manor does propose more

1742
01:08:50,339 --> 01:08:51,779
than one primary structure on the

1743
01:08:51,779 --> 01:08:54,719
property Perla provided findings they

1744
01:08:54,719 --> 01:08:57,060
have met all the criteria for approval

1745
01:08:57,060 --> 01:08:59,339
of Staff recommendation Planning

1746
01:08:59,339 --> 01:09:01,080

01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,500
establish a PUD overlay District

1749

approval of the preliminary and final

1750
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,699

01:09:08,699 --> 01:09:10,739
establish two lots and three outlets and

1752
01:09:10,739 --> 01:09:12,179
approval of the planned unit development

1753
01:09:12,179 --> 01:09:13,739
General concept plan and development

1754
01:09:13,739 --> 01:09:14,880
stage plan

1755
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:18,000
uh if the city council does approve

1756
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,319
these items tonight the applicant would

1757
01:09:19,319 --> 01:09:21,179
be required to enter into a development

1758
01:09:21,179 --> 01:09:23,400

1759
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,100
well as submit a PUD final plan that

1760
01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,839
would be reviewed by the Planning

1761
01:09:27,839 --> 01:09:29,640
Commission and city council at a later

1762
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,520
date so with that staff has recommended

1763
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,140
three actions and motions and each

1764
01:09:34,140 --> 01:09:36,179

Planning Commission

1853
01:13:22,500 --> 01:13:24,540
um one of the things that we took some

1854
01:13:24,540 --> 01:13:26,040
time to wrap our heads around was the

1855
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:27,900
stormwater

1856
01:13:27,900 --> 01:13:31,199
um and impervious surface percentages

1857
01:13:31,199 --> 01:13:32,460
um but because they have to have an

1858
01:13:32,460 --> 01:13:35,179
actual storm water plan the impervious

1859
01:13:35,179 --> 01:13:42,790
surface percentages or less of an issue

1860
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,440

1861
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:48,540

commission which is after the park board

1878
01:14:34,440 --> 01:14:36,540
commission after these so we've got a

1879
01:14:36,540 --> 01:14:39,239
five hour meeting right yeah well at

1880
01:14:39,239 --> 01:14:41,780
least five hours but minimum

1881
01:14:41,780 --> 01:14:45,000
one night administrator Bergman thank

01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:46,679
you Mr chair

1883
01:14:46,679 --> 01:14:49,500
um we kept this on here as a tentative

1884
01:14:49,500 --> 01:14:53,040
meeting we believe that we are going to

1885
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,699
ask instead to have a work session on

1886
01:14:56,699 --> 01:14:59,280
the fourth Monday in August with

1887
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,739
Flaherty and Hood we are not certain

1888
01:15:01,739 --> 01:15:05,219
that the information will be ready by

1889
01:15:05,219 --> 01:15:09,770
July 31st

1890
01:15:09,780 --> 01:15:11,699
okay do you want to okay we don't have

1891
01:15:11,699 --> 01:15:13,500
the July 31st

1892
01:15:13,500 --> 01:15:16,920
we actually hadn't scheduled it so right

1893
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:22,199
correct so the recommendation would be for the BPU

1894
01:15:22,199 --> 01:15:24,000
joint meeting which has already been

1895
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:26,460
established and the park board joint

1896
01:15:26,460 --> 01:15:28,500
meeting which also has already been

1897
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:30,239
establish that work for you

1898
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:34,140
has to okay double check so so this

1899
01:15:34,140 --> 01:15:36,360
would be do nothing so far I like it

1900
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,460
will just be a journey and then to the

1901
01:15:38,460 --> 01:15:41,219

from Community Development Mr cranbic

1926
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:45,840
thank you Mr President I have one item

1927
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:48,420
here uh so at the June 28th Eda Workshop

1928
01:16:48,420 --> 01:16:50,280
staff discussed a few ideas to

1929
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,140
incentivize development along Washington

1930
01:16:52,140 --> 01:16:54,659
Street the first ideas allowing

1931
01:16:54,659 --> 01:16:56,159
mixed-use development in the commercial

1932
01:16:56,159 --> 01:16:58,199
Corridor District similar to brainerd's

1933
01:16:58,199 --> 01:17:00,719
downtown this District kind of goes from

1934
01:17:00,719 --> 01:17:03,000
Washington's bridge to about the Cub

1935
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,159
Food area so in conjunction with

1936
01:17:05,159 --> 01:17:07,260
allowing mixed use development the Eda

1937
01:17:07,260 --> 01:17:08,699
was also interested in creating an

1938
01:17:08,699 --> 01:17:10,560
incentive program similar to the river

1939
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,340
to rails which

1940
01:17:13,340 --> 01:17:15,239
allows for the waiving of building

1941
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:18,020
permit fees up to 150 000 in valuation

1942
01:17:18,020 --> 01:17:20,219
from construction value as well as

1943
01:17:20,219 --> 01:17:22,679
waving sack and whack staff will be

01:17:22,679 --> 01:17:23,820

utilities and the engineering department

1946
01:17:25,380 --> 01:17:28,800
just to look at how potentially this

1947
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,320
could affect utilities but with that

1948
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,780
kind of the first step in here is at the

1949
01:17:33,780 --> 01:17:34,980

01:17:34,980 --> 01:17:36,600

God only knows what happened since then

2008
01:19:53,940 --> 01:19:56,159
and then finally on Code Enforcement

2009
01:19:56,159 --> 01:19:58,920
cases I've complained about 1420 Quinn

2010
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,920
Street a number of times this year it's

2011
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:03,900
been over 10 years since the city

2012
01:20:03,900 --> 01:20:06,420
council went to that property met at

2013
01:20:06,420 --> 01:20:08,520
that property and voted

2014
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,920
to find this property one hundred

2015
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:12,480
dollars a day

2016
01:20:12,480 --> 01:20:15,360
until he finishes the project it's still

2017
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,020
not finished he's still working on it so

2018
01:20:19,020 --> 01:20:20,460
I have that complaint I don't know how

2019
01:20:20,460 --> 01:20:22,500
we're going to get that 350 000 from

2020
01:20:22,500 --> 01:20:24,480
this guy but let's look into it but

2021
01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:27,600
secondly he has a semi-trailer parked in

2022
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,520
his driveway that has the door propped

2023
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,440
open with a cinder block and I have

2024
01:20:31,440 --> 01:20:33,420
complained to the city about this a

2025
01:20:33,420 --> 01:20:34,980
number of times

2026
01:20:34,980 --> 01:20:37,140
a kid could climb up into that trailer

2027
01:20:37,140 --> 01:20:39,480
accidentally knocked that block over and

2028
01:20:39,480 --> 01:20:43,440
get locked in a semi-trailer and die it

2029
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:45,540
is a safety concern it has been for

2030
01:20:45,540 --> 01:20:48,600
years and I I have to complain publicly

2031
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:50,760
because if I complain privately you guys

2032
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,219
