[3:53] The City Council congratulates Mr. Suleer on his retirement and extends its sincere best wishes for good health, happiness, and success in all the future endeavors adopted by the City Council of the City of Chapel that this 14th day of September, 2020.

[4:11] Thank you, thank you.

[4:12] Congratulations, Fred.

[4:12] Thank you, Mayor.

[4:13] I appreciate it, thank you.

[4:18] It's not only gender, but for me to make a speech, but I will think about a couple of remarks.

[4:27] Many years ago when I started a city attorney in Joel Young, who was in the audience, was the city clerk at that time.

[4:35] I guess I didn't really know how this was all going to turn out, but I can tell you the people in chat field that over the time.

[4:42] time I have been city attorney, I've always felt that the city government, the chatfield,

[4:48] was one of the better functioning city governments in the area.

[4:53] The fact that we don't have council meetings to go unentermatively in things like that is evidence

[4:58] of the

[5:00] The organization of the city staff and the dedication of the members of the city council and the mayor who I have served under for a number of years.

[5:11] So I regret having to turn in my badge at this point. It's been a pleasure for me.

[5:21] It's something that I wish that I hope and wish that the next, my successors,

[5:28] or scholars, will also have the same kind of experience I did.

[5:34] I think the people in chatfield have to be advised that their government functions very well.

[5:41] And I guess I think I'm leaving the government service at this point in good hands

[5:47] with the members of the council and staff that are here now.

[5:49] So I appreciate your respect, and I regret that I'm getting so old now that I can't do this anymore, and I'm going to retire.

[6:00] Thanks, Fred.

[6:02] We're working.

[6:05] We're going to put them for a motion to approve the resolution, too.

[6:10] Oh, motion by Paul.

[6:11] Second.

[6:12] Second by Pam, and you further discussion.

[6:14] All those in favor?

[6:16] Aye.

[6:16] opposed. At this point in time, I'm going to close the meeting for a special meeting for

[6:25] us in the back for just a few minutes and then we're going to apologize.

[6:29] You could read on that, though, so that we haven't unrecorded what happened. Is happening,

[6:33] please?

[6:35] The agenda item is considered for the purchase of real property governed by Minnesota.

[6:39] the statute section 13D-05 subdivision 3, the parcels are 26.0068.000, 26.0069.0030 and 25.0024.000.

[7:00] So this portion of the name will be closed pursuant to the Minnesota statute section 13D-05 subdivision 3.

[7:08] I will now entertain the motion to close this motion portion of the meeting.

[7:13] Motion by Josh, second by Pam.

[7:16] Any further discussion?

[7:17] Polls in favor?

[7:18] All right.

[7:19] Polls?

[7:20] Please, I'm reading.

[7:21] Hang out, and have cookies and lemonade.

[7:24] We'll rejoin you shortly.

[7:25] Oh, we're going to.

[7:27] We're going to.

[7:27] We're going to have to be the one at the time.

[7:30] We're going to labor.

[7:32] We're going to be the one at the time.

[7:51] We're going to labor.

[8:56] I'm going to go to the office.

[8:57] So we're going to have a couple more.

[8:59] Just go to office.

[9:00] But you should change that.

[9:05] I don't know.

[9:07] I don't know.

[9:08] You can go to the office.

[9:09] You're just going to have a chat.

[9:12] Let me just come here and find out.

[9:14] I don't like that.

[9:15] Yeah.

[9:15] I don't like that.

[9:16] I don't like that.

[9:17] How is your work in here?

[9:19] I don't like that.

[9:19] Yeah.

[9:19] It's.

[9:22] Yeah.

[9:23] We've written there.

[9:24] I know.

[9:24] I don't know if you could enjoy like space there,

[9:27] slow, slow, and it's fine.

[9:29] That's right, I'm going to be speaking to you.

[9:30] I know that.

[9:32] One of the ones I want to say is that it's something

[9:34] about how to do it.

[9:36] So it's okay.

[9:37] We're going to switch on along the other people.

[9:40] We'll play on whatever people want to do.

[9:42] We're going to go to the zoo.

[9:44] We're going to go to the zoo.

[9:45] We're going to go to the zoo.

[9:46] We're going to go to the zoo.

[9:48] So we've got two.

[9:50] Yeah.

[9:50] What's your name?

[9:51] Yeah.

[9:52] How should we deal with it?

[9:54] Actually, first of all, thank you.

[10:35] All right.

[10:37] Yeah.

[10:37] This is the right way you may open it.

[10:42] Yeah.

[10:44] Yeah.

[10:44] You don't have five, no, you do.

[10:47] I don't hear the rules, I ask you to take a couple of minutes.

[10:50] Aye.

[10:51] Aye.

[10:52] Aye.

[10:54] For a while, we're going to head to our office.

[10:57] There's a lot.

[10:59] I want to take a second.

[11:00] No, I don't think we'll need any more, no, no, no, no.

[12:33] Yeah.

[12:34] It's a little kind of sound.

[12:36] Yeah.

[12:36] It's a little bit boring.

[12:37] You know, it's kind of like, so yeah.

[12:40] You're so good.

[12:41] Yeah, it's human.

[12:43] It's, it's, it's a little, it's kind of like having a good sound.

[12:46] It's kind of like, you've got a nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.

[12:52] Really?

[12:53] Probably, but yeah.

[12:55] Yeah.

[12:55] Yeah, I think it's something, you know.

[12:57] Yeah.

[12:57] I'm doing a chat.

[12:58] Yeah.

[12:59] I'm going to give you a few more questions.

[13:05] I can't get that stuff right now.

[13:07] I think it's about seven.

[13:09] What's up, you know?

[13:12] What's up?

[13:13] What's up?

[13:14] You can't get that stuff from the side.

[13:16] What's up?

[13:17] I just got a sound note.

[13:18] I'm going to go to the airport.

[13:20] I just got a sound note.

[13:22] Oh, that's cool.

[13:26] Oh, thank you.

[14:00] on the left side.

[14:04] We have a lot of things.

[14:04] It's a lot of work.

[14:14] First time, I want to go to the post that you want to do.

[14:19] Can you make traveling?

[14:20] I know what I'm going to do.

[14:22] We're going to do it.

[14:23] We have an extra one in our room.

[14:27] We're going to like this.

[14:28] I don't know.

[14:30] They don't do this.

[14:30] They can't do this.

[14:32] Yeah, I actually threw my dad.

[14:36] Scotts.

[14:36] Yeah.

[14:38] There's no one.

[14:39] I can't stand it with that.

[14:42] Oh, oh, I don't know.

[14:43] I don't know if I can.

[14:44] I don't know.

[14:46] I don't know if I can.

[14:46] No, the night.

[14:47] Yeah, the man.

[14:48] Oh, he's over.

[14:50] He's over.

[14:51] He's over.

[14:52] He's over.

[14:53] He's over.

[14:55] He's over.

[14:56] He's over.

[14:58] He's over.

[15:05] Who holds the rule here, who?

[15:08] konservants?

[15:09] Our is first part of the last right here.

[15:11] You know, they don't have drive you out for lunch.

[15:13] Okay, I got some of the words.

[15:16] So where are your lights?

[15:19] Well, my husband was when he went to a meeting.

[15:22] We were in that's up here at the den.

[15:24] And I was like, they noticed I was no.

[15:26] Yeah, that's true.

[15:27] It was a nice place.

[15:29] I go through the picture, like,

[15:31] and look for him.

[16:06] Yeah, it's super.

[16:08] No, of course.

[16:09] Yeah, it's super.

[16:10] And the behavior was from California.

[16:15] Yeah, you know, this, that's great.

[16:16] I feel we come for you.

[16:18] Oh, right.

[16:19] We don't drink for some.

[16:21] She said, no.

[16:23] She said, no.

[16:24] She said, no.

[16:27] She said, no.

[16:28] Yeah.

[16:28] I'm really happy.

[16:30] I'm happy.

[16:34] You can check on me if you come on that.

[16:37] She's starting to hate me.

[16:39] I'm happy.

[16:43] I'm happy.

[16:45] Good day.

[16:46] I know whatever.

[16:47] Good day.

[16:47] I'm happy.

[16:48] I'm happy.

[16:50] Yeah.

[16:50] And I feel relieved.

[16:54] Yeah.

[17:56] I don't know if I can do it.

[18:00] I don't know.

[18:02] So I went out and traded around.

[18:05] I don't know.

[18:06] I don't know.

[18:06] Yeah, like it's a very shout.

[18:08] There's a kind of a big one.

[18:11] Yeah.

[18:12] We're just five losses out here.

[18:14] We know.

[18:15] We see the loss.

[18:16] You work.

[18:16] So they work.

[18:18] Yeah.

[18:19] And I got an opportunity to go over.

[18:21] I think it's pretty.

[18:52] And I ran out there and said that I said that he didn't have to let me in after that.

[18:59] Thank you.

[18:59] There's good quality in this.

[19:02] Not that I can help people.

[19:05] Yes.

[19:05] You're passionate.

[19:07] You're passionate.

[19:08] You're passionate.

[19:08] No, no, no, no, no.

[19:10] Because some of that should know the lineage.

[19:13] And we know Luis Juan, yes.

[19:15] And I don't like that.

[19:16] And we know that.

[20:33] Thank you very much.

[21:34] I think they have to do that.

[21:38] I think they do that.

[21:39] I want to say that.

[21:40] I was just going to know, so that people are seeing how.

[21:44] I was not going to do that.

[21:46] I've got to go over something.

[21:48] Yeah, I was excited.

[21:50] I know.

[21:51] I helped.

[21:52] You know, I'm sure you're not.

[21:55] I'm sure you don't.

[21:56] I'm sure you don't.

[21:57] I'm sure you don't.

[21:58] Just do this.

[22:29] I'm going to make a motion.

[22:34] I'm going to make a motion.

[22:35] I'm going to make a motion.

[22:39] You feel it.

[22:53] Okay.

[22:55] We'll just sleep some.

[23:07] We open the meeting and I'll turn it over to Paul.

[23:13] So I'd make a motion to authorize Michelle City Administrator to negotiate or purchase agreement for the three parcels that we went into closed meaning they discussed.

[23:27] Okay.

[23:28] You're supposed to make a motion to approve.

[23:31] Second.

[23:32] Motion by.

[23:33] Me.

[23:34] Motion by Paul.

[23:36] Second by Pam.

[23:37] Any further discussion?

[23:38] All those in favour?

[23:40] Aye.

[23:40] The full.

[23:42] Perfect.

[23:43] Thank you, Paul.

[23:44] Okay, committee reports, personnel, budget, and public works now.

[23:48] Sort of.

[23:51] We had a very brief meeting.

[23:54] I appreciate councilmember Novatni's ability to get here.

[24:00] We went through a quite a few different things very quickly.

[24:03] See here.

[24:04] And they will all be coming back to council.

[24:07] Sorry.

[24:11] We looked at the preliminary budget, the water and sewer rates for 2027, the fee schedule

[24:17] for 2027, a quote for the audit for this year, an increased, if we're breached and

[24:25] readiness through Markle, just with some things that have been happening lately.

[24:30] We want to make sure that our system is secure.

[24:32] We'll have an update to our direct deposit policy within our personnel.

[24:38] We went over some public works expenses for western days, just kind of letting the committee know what

[24:44] what our public works put in.

[24:46] To that event, and then we did a brief conversation about our negotiations with the LLF for this upcoming contract.

[24:56] And then we moved into public works.

[24:59] Uh, so lonely.

[25:00] We need the local road improvement, thinking that we've applied for probably a couple of times, or maybe even more than that.

[25:07] It's coming up. So we're looking to do that again, partner. We'll still work on it on the one-off street thing.

[25:15] So we're looking to submit that grant. That'll be coming back.

[25:19] We continue to talk about the water storage. How to get the water back off the hill on the tank replacement.

[25:26] kind of dated that there's there's two roots that we could use so we either could come

[25:32] down the highway 30 and then come down to an owner street, pop the steep hill or it is possible

[25:39] to come down and hit one owner street and stay in the street and not go down the steep hill

[25:45] and come in the other way which is a little bit less money so far to come in the street

[25:50] the way it looks. So we're going to keep working on that.

[25:56] Then we're still talking about, we've got some preliminary quotes, and we're going to

[26:02] do some further work on it at the drainage from the wyford street that comes down on the

[26:07] crosses underneath the trail and the milk creek park. One of the water, some of the water is

[26:11] crossing the trail goes to the ball diamonds and the playground equipment, and so we're

[26:16] I'm still working on some options and mitigate that, which it will probably end up in Park

[26:20] Iraq because I think there's a stretch of trail that's proposed to be wider because I think

[26:26] it's narrower.

[26:27] So we might try to tie those two together and all possible.

[26:31] Brian brought out a concern for some a couple residents in West Shaffield that there might

[26:37] be a couple of street corners that we're missing a couple street signs and so I think he's

[26:46] there, there's a couple of valves that just by chance they figured out and some training that

[26:52] aren't operate correctly, so I believe you ordered those. And also, I don't know what he called

[26:58] that thing, the sampler. The refrigerated sampler that constantly takes samples for them and

[27:05] prepares that is an order also. So both of those two things have become an order. And it's going to

[27:11] and it's just we were updated on it so I'll be the next meeting and then the only thing that I think you may have mentioned at the end was that we had some trouble with the water meter.

[27:22] That's a good hit by lightning.

[27:29] That was it?

[27:31] Yeah.

[27:32] That was a good hit.

[27:32] The owner mayors report.

[27:34] It's kind of nice to see the kids, a lot of kids are starting to pay attention and starting to wear helmets.

[27:39] And I guess I'm not around telling that much during the day, but they're not zigging and zagging,

[27:43] that they're back in school and not coming in on a traffic now on their scooters and everything else.

[27:48] So, still an issue with the passing on the right,

[27:51] down by quick trip by dollar general and down further by where the coffee shop was.

[27:58] It's like there's going to be a bad accident down there and that hopefully

[28:02] mend up and get something square to away with that and maybe get some signage or

[28:07] some striping or something done.

[28:08] So, people will just quit passing on the right because it's not going to have a good deal with

[28:13] me gets picked or crashed down there. So on that note I'm doing so I'll turn it over to Michelle.

[28:19] Thank you. I was going to let you know I attended a transportation alliance meeting in Rochester. It was kind of interesting.

[28:25] I didn't know the organizations that were involved helped with the advocating for projects with them and that to find funding.

[28:33] As we all know we always need more funding for those. But in addition we are looking to get the carpet screened in the office.

[28:42] And so I'm going to have a request that we actually close the office to the public on September 30th at 330.

[28:48] We'll all still be here, but just in case I don't want anybody tripping over the equipment.

[28:53] So we'll actually close to the public and get that done.

[28:57] If that's all right.

[28:58] Your staff recommendation.

[28:59] Look for a motion to approve and close in September 30th at 330.

[29:04] At 330.

[29:05] Hold on.

[29:06] Motion by Josh.

[29:08] Second by Pam.

[29:09] Any further discussion?

[29:10] Holds in favor?

[29:11] Aye.

[29:12] the post. Okay, that's all I have. All right, don't

[29:15] at all table, enough. Good, thanks. All. I'm good.

[29:21] Congratulations, Fred. I do want one last time. I've already

[29:23] made my speech, but again, I've reiterated, it's a certain

[29:29] amount of regret that I retire. This has been the best job I

[29:34] probably had being a city attorney anywhere. I congratulate

[29:39] city rot, a chat field for having such a good form of government and the people that have

[29:45] over the years that I've worked with mayors, counselors, city staff, they're all first

[29:51] rate.

[29:51] Thank you.

[29:52] Thanks Fred.

[29:54] Just a big thank you to Fred.

[29:57] He's been a huge, and you needed a question since I started.

[30:01] And it's been great. And also Monday's meetings are a lot better when the Vikings smoke the Packers.

[30:16] Yeah, I want to thank Fred, and he's going above and beyond and being in a couple of

[30:23] place.

[30:25] I'm representing Chaplin with some theater place that was really nice.

[30:32] It's a kind of town where you get more out of, you know, than just being the city attorney,

[30:39] You've got a chance to get involved in the community, the center for the Arabs, the whip, you know, the...

[30:47] What's that up here?

[30:47] Oh, it's just, yeah, it's a great place.

[30:51] And people written this as a jewel in terms of this area in terms of the government and the community itself.

[30:59] So...

[31:00] Okay.

[31:01] I'm...
