[1:14] Do you have anything? All right, we'll move on. We're going to

[1:17] go to um item number one, agenda approval. I make the motion that we move

[1:23] the uh tanasa discussion um from number seven to let's remove we're going to

[1:30] remove the agenda approval out of the consent. So we'll approve everything but

[1:34] the agenda. Then we'll go back and we'll approve an amendment to the agenda.

[1:39] » All right. A consent agenda minutes of approval for August 17th, 2026. Claims

[2:04] push. >> All right.

[2:07] Going back to agenda approval, as I stated, I'd like to move item number

[2:12] seven, tenasa agreement recommended by public works down uh to number 10, the

[2:18] last item um for the we'll probably exot

[2:29] » number six to the end of the agenda. >> You said seven, but

[2:33] » well, I got seven on mine. Sorry. That's okay. The tenasa

[2:46] » yes. >> All right. Moving on to old business

[2:50] discussion and action. Second reading reading of ordinance 2026-102

[2:55] to provide for regulation of bicycles, ebikes, scooters, e scooters,

[2:59] skateboards, e skateboards, hover boards, and skates. Review the Ordinance

[3:05] 2026-102. >> Ordinance number 2026-102.

[3:10] An ordinance to regulate the use and operation of bicycles, ebikes, scooters,

[3:15] e- scooters, skateboards, e skateboards, hoverboards, and skates to repeal the

[3:21] current section 5-501 of the false city municipal code and all other sections in

[3:27] conflict here with. So, I talked to um our attorney and he

[3:35] made all the u amendments from the last meeting.

[3:45] That's I don't know if anybody has any other thing to discuss on it.

[3:52] » Do I need to bring up what I talked about earlier?

[3:57] » You can. Um, there's issues with kids riding in

[4:02] the parks and it's not really labeled in there

[4:08] about not riding in the parks. So, I don't know if we need to amend something

[4:11] about >> We got a park specifically for that

[4:20] 1920 street, right? State ramps.

[4:28] Well, I know that, but if you say ballparks, then you'd have to exclude

[4:31] that one. See? >> Yeah. I mean, parks in general, I guess.

[4:35] But I got a complaint this morning that there's kids driving through the

[4:40] softball games and all that. So, I was just

[4:44] » like in the parking lots or just in the grass or just

[4:48] » I mean, have you seen it sidewalks where people are standing?

[4:54] Sorry. >> Um, I've seen it myself. Jenny Jenny

[4:59] struck her. Um, I've seen it myself at softball games and they ride on the

[5:02] sidewalks, um, through the parking lots, through grass. I mean, on the splash

[5:10] pad, it's pretty much everywhere. >> So, there's nothing specific calling out

[5:18] there. No, but we have uh ramps at a city park.

[5:24] See what I mean? Because we have skateboard. We have skateboards on. We

[5:28] have a skateboard. >> Yeah.

[5:31] » My only issue with matter. Yeah. I'm sorry. This comes down to parenting more

[5:38] than a damn city. And I mean and and teaching kids to be respectful, but boy,

[5:43] I would think parks are about the safest place you want them. And I mean, I'd

[5:47] like them there. like go down the streets elsewhere. But

[5:55] » yeah, it's just an empty park or a park full of

[6:00] » I mean that's that's the tough part is right now the park's probably empty and

[6:04] it's okay. But come softball day or any other day

[6:08] is somebody else in a lawn chair or

[6:11] something. >> And I get it. It would be frustrating,

[6:14] but boy, like right now, Morehead Park, like I'd rather them be there than

[6:18] riding downtown, you know? So, I don't want to like say you can't be in a park.

[6:23] Yeah. I don't know. That's just that's a tough one because then that would be

[6:27] Stanton's Lake, too. And that's half the time it's empty.

[6:31] » I was just asked this question. No, no, I'm not I'm not saying I'm just saying

[6:34] it's just >> I think before this even brought up in

[6:37] the entire country, it was a parenting issue before any city in the United

[6:42] States. But >> well, what we're doing with this is

[6:45] getting some teeth to it. So you have some regulation, you get the the law

[6:49] enforcement, an ordinance to act on. So if you have

[6:53] complaints, you can, you know, if you got restrictions, but this is the second

[6:58] time we've amended it. >> Yeah.

[7:01] Like Jamie, what happen if there is a softball game going on and there's kids

[7:05] riding their bikes down there on the sidewalks and weaving in and out people?

[7:09] If there's no ordinance, there's nothing you can do about it.

[7:12] » Talk to the kids. >> Yeah, talk to the kids. Only thing I

[7:14] mean, >> talk to the parents.

[7:16] » Yep. I mean, >> I agree. It's a parenting issue.

[7:20] I wish you had tickets for common sense, but

[7:24] » he wouldn't have a ticket.

[7:31] » I'm going to make a motion to

[7:46] Yes. Moving on to regular business. Uh,

[7:50] represent from HPE, uh, will you present the audit?

[8:05] » So, good evening. I'm Kylie Wickman >> and I'm Luke Post.

[8:08] » We're from HBA. This is our first year doing the audit. We're presenting the

[8:14] September 30, 2025 year end. Um, so we will just kind of go over the highlights

[8:20] and if you have any questions, let us know.

[8:23] The first couple pages in the packet is our audit report. And so there in the

[8:29] second paragraph, we give our opinion and we note that the accompanying

[8:33] financials present fairly in all material respects. So that is a clean

[8:38] unmodified audit opinion. The rest of the report goes on to note

[8:43] that you all as management and the council are responsible for the

[8:47] financials and the information in them. And then our responsibility is to audit

[8:51] that information. And so to do that, we do a lot of planning ahead of time. We

[8:56] do a risk assessment so we can focus on what we think are the riskiest areas of

[9:01] your audit. um we um we can do all that planning. So

[9:07] then we can do the field work where we're actually looking at invoices,

[9:09] asking questions, um looking at your controls and

[9:13] processes. And so at the end of all that, we're able to issue this opinion.

[9:18] And the back of the financials, there's also a supplemental schedule on a budget

[9:22] comparison. And then we have a couple other reports on your um internal

[9:27] controls and financial reporting that we'll go over then.

[9:31] » Okay. I'm going to run through the numbers pretty quick. I'm just going to

[9:34] give a high level overview and call out a couple of items um I think warrant

[9:38] just a little bit of attention. So the city of false city runs their financials

[9:42] on the full acral basis that's with US GAP governments gap. So this statement

[9:47] in that position both the governmental activities and the business type

[9:50] activities is full acral basis. You'll note this has capital assets PP&E

[9:56] long-term debt um statement of activities. This is

[10:00] going to be see on this screen and I'm not going to rotate it because I'll get

[10:04] lost on here. But uh basically this again this is full acrual basis. This is

[10:09] loans when they're paid are not expenses. It's a reduction in the

[10:13] liability. Same with capital assets purchase. It's not an expense. It goes

[10:16] to a capital asset then it's taken depreciation. When we get to the funds

[10:22] even though the city is full acral basis this is how governmental accounting

[10:25] works. These are on what is considered the economic resource basis. You'll note

[10:30] there's not loans payable here. There's not capital assets here. So between the

[10:35] two schedules, there's a reconciliation. Mainly those are the two items. There

[10:40] are a couple smaller items, but as you look through the financials, those are

[10:44] the reconciling items here on the fund financials. I'll point out because the

[10:48] capital improvement has an inter fund note receivable from general. When you

[10:53] go to that statement of net position, the governmental funds are brought

[10:56] together. those are eliminated when they get brought together because it's all

[10:59] within the governmental funds. Um, and then so here as promised is a

[11:05] reconciliation between the fund balance on the governmental funds and the

[11:09] governmentwide financials. So those recon items, like I said, the main ones

[11:12] are your long-term debt and your capital assets.

[11:17] And then we've got the receipts and dispersements of the governmental funds.

[11:20] Here you will note principal payments are recorded as an expense because the

[11:25] fun have a loan in it. So when the money is paid on the loan here, it's shown as

[11:29] an expense. This how governmental accounting is done when it's done to the

[11:33] full acral basis. And another recon this is on the profit and loss side as

[11:39] opposed to the balance sheet side. Um so now we have the business type

[11:44] activities. These are full acrual basis. So these funds have the loans in them

[11:49] have the capital assets in them. So they are um not the same as the governmental

[11:55] funds. Um and so we have operating revenues, operating expenses. Um

[12:03] moving on, cash flows. The business funds have a cash flow to them. I

[12:07] recommend reviewing the operating activities. Um sewer is showing a

[12:13] negative operating cash amount. Um next year I want to bring to your

[12:19] attention this schedule will change. There's a new Gazsby. There's going to

[12:23] be some language change. It mostly operates in the same way, but there's

[12:27] going to be labeling as subsidies. Other items when we're here next year, we'll

[12:32] walk through all of it. It's roughly the same thing, but some terminology is the

[12:35] same because Gazsby can't leave things alone.

[12:39] Um, so then you have the notes. I recommend reviewing these. These give

[12:43] more information to the statements we provided. Um, as Kylie mentioned, there

[12:49] is a required supplementary statement. This is RSI. This will also change

[12:54] slightly next year under that same accounting standard, but I want to point

[12:58] to your attention, this is budgetary basis. So, these items are essentially

[13:02] on the cash basis. Same way you're you're doing your budget right now. It's

[13:06] on that same basis. So, now we have the governmental

[13:10] auditing standards letter. So the internal controls, this is going to be

[13:13] the main event of what I have to communicate with you today. I have 10

[13:18] material weaknesses on these financial statements.

[13:22] So starting with 202501, we have an inade adequate segregation of

[13:27] duties. We believe the city probably has enough staff to have a proper

[13:32] segregation of duties, but you'll note as we go through these findings, the

[13:36] internal controls were not there. So we were not going to give a opinion on the

[13:43] um segregation of duties um with the amount of internal control issues that

[13:48] we've identified. Um looking at 202502, this is financial

[13:53] statement prep. So this is a finding I don't expect you to be able to fix.

[13:56] There is a risk when we prep your financials. If I don't talk to Gary

[14:00] properly, I could put something in these financials that could be wrong. There's

[14:05] a risk. There's not really much you can mitigate to do that. an organization of

[14:09] this size is an expected finding. You'll you'll have that

[14:13] 2023 is uh or excuse me 202503 is material audit adjustments. So when we

[14:20] receive the trial balance and numbers from the city, we expect those to be

[14:24] close to what we audit them to. Some of these material audit adjustments I'm

[14:28] going to give more detail on in the rest of the findings, but they are not all

[14:32] listed in the rest of the findings. There are more material audit

[14:35] adjustments that we had to make to bring these into a clean financial statement

[14:40] set than are even listed in these next few findings.

[14:44] So finding 2024 or 202504 beginning fund balance and net position.

[14:52] So depending on which fund you're looking at net position

[14:56] fund balance was off by over 12 million in the electric fund. This is what that

[15:02] means. The paper financial statements from last year should match your

[15:06] accounting system because beginning balances this year should match final

[15:10] balances last year. The accounting system, frankly, they weren't close. The

[15:15] accounting system was not updated to match these paper financials that were

[15:19] issued last year. And you'll note um I'm going to go through these at a high

[15:23] level. The details are there for your for your review. Um if you have

[15:27] questions, please stop me. Um, so number five, reconciled cash balances not

[15:32] reflected in the trial balance. So this one is a little backwards, but I want to

[15:36] explain it. When we came in, the reconciled the reconciliations provided

[15:43] were pretty accurate. The accounting numbers did not match them. So cash was

[15:48] off um in various funds, sometimes up to $2 million. The cash did not reflect

[15:53] what was actually in the statements in the funds.

[15:59] 202506 unreconciled interf fund transfers. The

[16:04] only place a transfer go is another transfer. Transfer should net to zero.

[16:08] Transfer is netted to 2.5 million. So that means there was activity. A

[16:13] transfer can't cause activity. A transfer should only go to a transfer.

[16:19] Um number seven, uh accounting for state grant proceeds. So, the city received a

[16:26] $15 million state grant for the large utility transmission project. That grant

[16:31] was awarded during the fiscal year. Cash was paid. Cash is in the city's

[16:35] accounts. Those um entries were made some in I

[16:41] believe it's June, July, August. Some entries were made in each of those

[16:45] months. When you net up the entries that were made, they all net to zero. The

[16:50] city did not record a scent of the revenue from the $50 million grant once

[16:54] all the entries are put together and reviewed.

[16:59] » You had the cash in the bank. >> You had the cash. It's in the bank,

[17:02] » but the revenue was there at one point, but once the rest of the entries were

[17:07] made, it was gone.

[17:11] » Um, number eight, unrecorded accounts payable. Um, so the city is on the full

[17:16] approval basis. When we came into audit accounts payable, some of the items left

[17:22] over were legacy and weren't we had to clean a bunch of it up. And even as we

[17:28] um were provided some payables, we have tests we do for search of payables and

[17:33] we found material missing items as part of those tests and got those into the

[17:37] financials. Um number nine, capital asset

[17:41] depreciation records. So the city has five funds general and the four

[17:47] utilities that have a large amount of capital assets in them and those

[17:50] schedules should reflect the flow with the financials. They should tie to the

[17:53] beginning balances, current year activity, additions, disposals,

[17:57] depreciation helps reduce there. Those should all tie some of the um air or the

[18:04] uh prior period adjustments we had to beginning balances. These schedules had

[18:09] math errors in them. They frankly have some legacy items that need cleaned up.

[18:14] These schedules need major work. They have a lot of items that need reviewed

[18:19] even still now. That is going to be a project that we're going to be working

[18:23] on going forward and getting those cleaned up. I know the schedules are

[18:27] also used some for the uh insurance. And while those two schedules can work in

[18:33] tandem, using them for both, they do have different criteria. So not

[18:38] everything's the same that needs to be there. one for the insurance listing and

[18:41] for the financial statements. So, while that can they can piggyback each other

[18:46] and be reconciled to each other, I would caution you to use the same schedule for

[18:50] both of those tasks. And then number 10 is incomplete and

[18:57] accurate debt records. So, one loan reflected in I believe it is the sewer

[19:03] fund, the wastewater fund um that was recorded last year, that loan didn't

[19:07] exist. we perform procedures. It must have been paid off years ago or

[19:13] it was overstated. So that loan was in the financials last year. We've taken it

[19:17] out. And then also we have one loan um as part of the CRA that was back from

[19:25] 2021 currently outstanding balance of 166,000.

[19:30] That was not recorded in the financials this whole time. We found that during

[19:33] audit testing that has now been reflected in the long-term debt.

[19:38] Um so those are my findings, our findings. We have um the corrective

[19:43] action plan. This will be filled out by the city. There will be this will be

[19:47] filled out and signed put on the city flutter head appended into the final

[19:50] version that's submitted to the state. So I walked through a lot of findings.

[19:55] So we did issue a clean audit opinion. The way we were able to do that is we

[20:00] put the staff through hell. We drug through but we were able to get back

[20:06] into to and fix and understand and get documentation to a place that we were

[20:12] comfortable giving that clean opinion. And I want to give I want to give Gary

[20:16] and his staff credit because we did a ton of work on this. We had to go back

[20:22] through records and ask and get more documentation and ask again and more

[20:26] documentation. So, I would like to give Gary my thanks for that because if Gary

[20:32] hadn't been here, I don't know how we would have issued an audit for you.

[20:38] This was um

[20:43] » yeah, this was a a challenge. >> Um

[20:47] » so I mean as you can see with all the findings and how we're letting you know

[20:50] that this was a lot of work. Um we are going to have to build extra

[20:56] from our original proposal. There was just a lot we didn't know about. you

[21:00] know, we want to be fair to you, but also we probably had over double or

[21:05] triple the time that we anticipated that this audit would take. Um, so we're

[21:10] going to look through that for your final audit bill. Um, but you know, we

[21:15] know your next year end is coming up. We think, you know, next year you're going

[21:19] to be able to get there to correct some of these things. maybe I don't know

[21:23] hopefully by year end if not this year next year you know that we we're

[21:27] confident that we can continue to work with you going forward and that we're

[21:31] going to see some improvements that's the good news out of it

[21:39] have any questions for us or anything you want to add Gary

[21:42] » well there's a few things here maybe can't answer them but like uh you guys I

[21:47] Gary might even know too like on the 25-007

[21:51] The $15 million shows it's recorded 26 lines of entries in June, July, and

[21:56] August on that.

[22:00] I mean, I'm sure I wouldn't know, but I What you're saying is that's pulled in

[22:03] and out 26 times. Don't know where it was put. We we so what happened is it

[22:09] was reported correctly in the utility fund and then it was moved to the CRA

[22:16] physically moved to the CRA which is the same bank and then it was moved from the

[22:22] CRA back. So every time they made entries, there was entries for every

[22:29] time it moved and it could be transfers in, transfers out, cash, investments. So

[22:38] it took me a while to go through and figure that out.

[22:42] » Then my I guess need council might help me on this one, too. When we did that 15

[22:47] million, I mean, not do the audit, but I thought we talked about we're going to

[22:51] draw interest off that if you put it If you put it in your draw interest or

[22:55] something, you still move it back. I guess money. I'm looking at Derek

[22:58] because he's a

[23:03] » take. >> It's currently in a seedar account.

[23:07] Cedars. So that's currently in there. >> The money wasn't

[23:13] the money was moved before it was in the seedars. So it was after you got it. It

[23:19] was moved from like I said fund to fund and then account to account and trying

[23:25] to account for it to be moved and that I think that's where the confusion got

[23:30] » still going in and out. Okay.

[23:33] » Yep. >> Okay.

[23:35] » Is on the financial reporting side of it.

[23:38] » Yeah. The accounting piece was the issue.

[23:41] » I understand that now. Thank you.

[23:49] Do we have any more questions or motion to approve this?

[23:53] » Thank you for cleaning up our mess. >> Thank you.

[23:56] » Yes. Very motion to approve.

[24:01] » Second favor.

[24:06] » Yes. >> Thank you again.

[24:13] » I have item number three.

[24:17] No, you're fine. >> Okay.

[24:22] » Discussion and action. Appointment of Rick Johnson and Jerry Eler to the

[24:27] majority. >> Motion to approve.

[24:32] » Favor.

[24:37] » Yes. >> Item number three, discussion and

[24:41] action. appointment of Levi Jones as police officer.

[24:49] Uh Levi left the police department uh on another business venture and then came

[24:55] back to work for the city and has since requested transfer back.

[25:00] He is a full-time janitor with the city. He went through the uh

[25:04] interview process and the push forward. Think he'd be a good addition and I

[25:10] think the guys are excited to have him back

[25:15] in that 10th position. >> He has to go to school, right?

[25:18] » He's good. >> Yeah.

[25:21] » He had 32 hours of training and >> yeah, we've already completed all of his

[25:24] requirements.

[25:35] Thank you.

[25:42] » Yes. Um discussion before discussion and

[25:47] action curb cut on 521 to the court construction. So there's a request um

[25:54] they're building duplex there. So he had a request to do a curb cut and the

[25:58] council has to approve it. So um item four and five are both uh for curb cuts

[26:04] for those construction projects.

[26:08] » Second

[26:13] yes. Number five discussion action request

[26:17] cut

[26:26] » eight. Yes. >> Item number seven opd prepayment

[26:31] agreement as recommended by the board of public works.

[26:36] So, uh, the board of public works, um, is recommending, um,

[26:42] council approval of this. Um, this is part of the process that we're going

[26:48] through to get NITS. So, we have our own, uh, uh, ability to buy um, power

[26:57] um, outside of OPD. And um as we you know look at the NRG

[27:05] and the centronics and stuff as we move forward the um transmission line and

[27:11] stuff that's the way the board of public works figure uh thinks we should go with

[27:16] this. So we're going to ask the council to approve this thing.

[27:42] Yes. Um item number eight

[27:48] now discussion and action replacement of power plant windows by salt contracted

[27:54] to $64,7 recommended by the board of public.

[27:58] » Yeah. So the board of public works um is recommending this um

[28:04] contingent that it's going to be part of the budget. Um we have to budget for

[28:09] next fiscal year for this. I think it's a have to instead of a want. Um so we

[28:17] asked the council to approve it and then we'll go

[28:23] through the budget, get it in the budget for next year, fiscal year.

[28:34] Yes.

[28:40] Um then we have item number eight discussion and action accept engineering

[28:48] service change order.

[28:53] So um Trevor negotiated with seal

[29:00] on they had some come up. These are the relays at the power plant. Um so they

[29:05] come up and they build us for that day. They're looking at PDM. I think is a

[29:10] couple weeks they're going to be here. Um so it's a benefit for them that they

[29:14] could work uh Monday through Sunday. Their

[29:19] Saturday um Sunday PDM is quite high. So when Trevor negotiated

[29:27] um that their mobile they would eat half their mobile, we'd pay half of that and

[29:32] then he got the PDM down on the weekends to be the same as a weekday. So um this

[29:40] is the change order for those discussions.

[29:43] Um anybody have any questions?

[29:50] Can you repeat because it shows the weekday is 2950 a day but Saturday is

[29:55] 4425 and Sunday.

[29:59] Did you just say that the daily rates got equalized? Is it not? That's my

[30:03] understanding. It's just not reflected. sheet.

[30:08] I see I see that now. Okay, that was that was part of his

[30:20] long not approving what we have in our hand.

[30:22] » Yep. I will double check with him that the is supposed to be the same weekday

[30:26] as weekend. So they don't have to go back to St. Louis and then remobilize

[30:32] here. So that that was the negotiation piece.

[30:37] » I will double check that and if you want to make a motion or someone wants to

[30:41] make a motion contingent on that or that we sign it once we get that figured out.

[30:48] I would make a motion.

[31:00] Well, it does have a date response required. Are we going to get to it?

[31:05] » Says that they wanted to have this done by the 15th.

[31:09] » Meet again by then. >> They uh mobile they're going to do it

[31:14] Monday the start the 14th and it's a twoe process. But I will double check on

[31:20] that and we won't sign it unless it is what I explained to the council. That's

[31:25] what

[31:35] others. But same as

[31:42] a motion in a second. >> I'll second.

[31:49] » Yes. Number nine, discussion and action agreement as recommended by public

[31:56] works.

[32:00] » So um we're still negotiating that contract

[32:05] um with Tanasa and I'd like to go into exact session so I can explain it to the

[32:10] council. It is um time sensitive. So I'd like to go explain it and then we can

[32:17] come out and you guys can make a motion or whatever you guys want to do.

[32:28] » Can we take public comment right now? >> Okay.

[32:32] » Yeah. Special fall edge just wanted to address the council. Tanasa has been in

[32:37] the news for data centers. did this about four to six months ago when we

[32:43] started talking about an NDA with Tanaska. We just want to make sure that

[32:46] everybody's clear. This has absolutely nothing to do with data centers. This is

[32:49] a totally different company than the Tanasa that's in the news for data

[32:53] centers, right? Get auction agreements. Tanasa, I think it's Tanaska Power

[32:57] Services is a division of Tanaska because we're trying to go NITS be

[33:02] network integrated. We're being dropped by mean Municipal Energy Agency of

[33:06] Nebraska. Therefore, we have to find a replacement, put out bids, right? Three

[33:10] people bid on it. One of them's Pasca. They appear to be the winner. Um, we

[33:14] need a willing agent by May 1st. I just wanted to make it very clear that this

[33:18] has nothing to do with data centers and that we're we're trying to find a

[33:23] market participant to help us wheel the energy, right? um in reviewing the um

[33:29] the contract that was in the board of public works. We've got an we got an

[33:33] all-star attorney that used to work at Southwest Powerpool that is helping us

[33:37] with this. She has full city's best interest in mind. They did share this

[33:41] with some of our investors and I just want you guys to be aware of uh some

[33:45] minor feedback that they have. Um, one of them is

[33:50] we want you consider no exclusivity for new

[33:56] generation for future new generation. Um,

[34:02] excluding new generation from this contract. There's a there's a section in

[34:05] there that that talks about this section 2 subo

[34:09] um that exclusivity um could prevent potential investment in

[34:15] fall city. some of the projects we're working on. Um the investors they want

[34:19] to derisk um and you know removing exclusivity

[34:24] gives us flexibility if someone wanted to do generation in fall city. Okay. Um

[34:31] a partnership with the municipality of fall city unlocks the pathway to

[34:36] funding. There's been some good activity the last couple weeks. Um, and I just

[34:41] wanted to just kind of put that out there that limiting exclusivity, someone

[34:45] wants to build generation in both city, um, you know, that's perhaps our best

[34:50] pathway forward to get the investments for some of these big projects we're

[34:53] working on. >> Thank you.

[34:58] Any other comments before we get a second?

[35:10] » Yes, >> you're going to go into executive

[35:13] session to discuss contract.
