[8:43] overview of where you are and the progress you've been making and working so hard at it.

[8:53] Thank you, Mayor.

[8:53] Members of the council.

[8:55] Thank you again for your continued support of our projects.

[8:59] The $100,000 that we were awarded this year will be used towards the Mahoning

[9:02] Manor, which is phase two of the Greenhaven Redevelopment Project.

[9:06] Since you really want to thank you all for your continued support, not only of the council

[9:10] and the mayor, but also city staff.

[9:12] that's just been really an incredible experience for the HRA and its residents to know that

[9:16] we have this great new opportunity for improved housing.

[9:22] I figured you might want to have a little bit of an update on what's going on with CUBCUC.

[9:26] I actually went out to the site today.

[9:28] They have poured the building footings.

[9:31] We're close to 70% complete.

[9:34] Additionally, they are starting with the walls for the building as well.

[9:38] It's just really exciting, a lot of mud out there,

[9:41] but a lot of things happenings.

[9:43] It's really been an awesome experience for us.

[9:47] Overall, we're just really pleased

[9:48] with how things are moving.

[9:50] We're currently waiting on Mahoning Manors

[9:52] environmental review to be completed.

[9:54] Everything's been done, now we're waiting

[9:56] on our consultants to prep that part 58,

[9:58] which we'll be going over comment.

[10:00] And then you'll see me again when I come back

[10:02] to request the Fancy Approval

[10:04] and the release of Funds Approval from

[10:06] responsible entity, which is the county. Excuse me, the city. I also wanted to really thank

[10:12] you for your continued support with the road. It's really been an honor and a pleasure

[10:15] working with Jessie to get that road moving. Once that phase one road for Cop Cook is complete,

[10:21] then we will work in a time to do some sort of ribbon cutting on the site, right now it's nearly

[10:25] impossible to get out there. So again, thank you so very much for continuing to support us and

[10:32] we're doing and it really is an honor to be able to speak and say thank you in person.

[10:38] Thank you, Jackie, and this is 48 units with the first awarding man.

[10:44] The first 52 units with the copcuck, and then a pity corner from that will be 48 units at my honore.

[10:51] Yeah, easy to do.

[10:54] All right, any other questions from us, President?

[10:57] All right, thank you.

[10:58] Thank you.

[11:00] So we have a first and a second, any more discussion or questions.

[11:06] Hearing none, all of you, say aye.

[11:09] Opposed, aye.

[11:10] Motion carries.

[11:11] Be.

[11:12] Item B is offering resolution number 2609, oh wait, approving the certification of the

[11:18] 2026 range regional airport pre-liminary, levy, payable in 2027 in the amount of 721,000.

[11:25] Staff met with council in August and September to discuss the city's pre-liminary budget

[11:30] and Levy's and discuss cuts that were necessary to get the pre-liminary and Levy increased

[11:35] under 10%.

[11:36] The final recommendation is to Levy 721,000 for the airport for pay 2027.

[11:42] This is a decrease from pay 26 of 100,000 or 12%.

[11:47] I'm asking City Council to approve the resolution to set the airports pre-liminary,

[11:52] Levy at 721.

[11:54] Very good.

[11:55] Hearing what Mr. Schermer had to say, we've got a resolution 2609 away.

[12:00] Approving certification of range regional and vertical immunary Navi budget, which is other council.

[12:06] I'd like the motion approved.

[12:31] Item C is offering resolution number 26099 approving the 2027 pre-liminary budget and 2026

[12:40] Levy for Texas Pable in 2027. This resolution is asking for approval of the pre-liminary

[12:47] Levy which is an increase of 9.99% and that is including the HRA and Airport Levy.

[12:53] This levy includes an increase in operating expenditures of 1.6 million or 6.9% and an increase

[13:02] in operating revenues net of levy of $229,000 or 1.42%.

[13:09] The levy to fill the unfunded gap is 8,885,846 dollars, which is an increase in the

[13:23] Acted salary increases of 4% as well as steps on employees' anniversary dates and medical insurance

[13:30] costs are estimated to increase 25% next year.

[13:35] The pre-liminary levy includes no changes to the heat of levy, the tax abatement levy,

[13:40] or the OPED levy.

[13:42] The debt service levy increased $776,000 or $100% and this is due to the debt that we will

[13:49] issuing to pay for the public safety building.

[13:53] The permanent improvement levied decreased by 640,000, which included cutting back on the amount

[13:59] of paving and alley projects.

[14:01] The capital levied decreased 363,000, which reduces the amount of equipment and building

[14:06] projects created in 2020,

[14:12] the city must set a preliminary budget and levied by September

[14:15] 30th, 206th each year, and this is what is included on the preliminary tax statements

[14:20] in November.

[14:21] Once that number is set, the levy cannot increase.

[14:24] Staff will continue to discuss options for further budget reductions prior to finalizing

[14:29] the budget and levied in December.

[14:31] I am asking Council to move forward with setting the pre-liminary levy.

[14:36] Very much.

[14:36] The sure bestay regarding offer of solution, 260909, approving to 2027, preliminary budget

[14:43] wishes of council.

[15:01] Item D is offer resolution 260911, providing for the sale of general obligation capital and prevent bonds series 2026A. The public safety building construction and public works renovation gap is currently between seven and eight million dollars.

[15:17] This resolution authorizes the city to provide for the sale of bonds not to exceed eight million dollars plus financing fees of $195,000.

[15:25] The city has issued 19 million 770,000 in temporary sales tax bonds in November of 2025.

[15:34] These temporary bonds must be refinanced within three years of the sale date.

[15:39] Our advisor at Ellers is recommending we wait to refinance those bonds in hopes that the market conditions won't prove at a later date.

[15:49] These bonds would be sold in November, 2020-26.

[15:54] I'm asking Council to move forward with this resolution to provide for the sale of the bonds.

[16:00] Okay, hearing what the Schermrad is saying regarding providing sale

[16:03] for the general obligations for capital improvement bonds.

[16:06] Which is the council?

[16:08] Motion approved.

[16:10] Motion approved by Councillor Valice.

[16:12] Support by Councillor Faso.

[16:15] Any other questions or discussions from the Schermrad?

[16:19] Hearing none, all of favor say aye.

[16:21] Opposed?

[16:22] Nane?

[16:23] Motion carries.

[16:24] Thank you.

[16:25] Hearing none.

[16:26] This time we want to city attorney, Mr. Barlow.

[16:29] Chairman, Mr. Council, within your pack, it is of opposed ordinance.

[16:32] Number 460 with respect to the lodging tax.

[16:35] We discussed this previously.

[16:36] Presently that lodging tax is administered by the city of Buffalo.

[16:41] We've had some issues, I guess, but is a tack for you putting it with regard to the city of Buffalo.

[16:47] and their lack of information that they've provided to the city,

[16:51] Nick reached out to the state as to whether or not we could,

[16:55] essentially circumvent that.

[16:57] And that's what we're doing by this resolution

[16:59] is that now the state will administer this,

[17:02] and we'll collect the funds and submit it to the state,

[17:04] and they'll make sure it gets distributed.

[17:06] Still, the same group has to be

[17:12] a pure travel

[17:15] investigation bureau for this area isn't specifically for having, but it's just a

[17:20] better way of making sure that we have an industry, and we know where our dollars are going.

[17:24] So that's the proposed change in the ordinance.

[17:27] Thank you.

[17:28] Here in West tomorrow, we have to say about the change in the audience, city-hipping and

[17:32] guaranteeing provisions for lodging tax, which is the council.

[17:36] Motion to approve or to approve a council fossil.

[17:40] Support by council bailers, any other discussion to questions?

[17:43] I just had to make a clarification so the only thing that is changing is how when a process it so the rate of tax is not changing it's the same rate

[17:54] We've been collecting since the 80s correct that's set by the state so we don't we can't really play with that one too much

[18:02] Council so we didn't not changing the rate at all we're simply administering who's going to administer who's going to collect and then delivered

[18:09] And then we're going to still use the same tourist bureau because that is also part of the statute it must go to a tourist bureau must go to a tourist bureau

[18:18] I need to do not have a tourist bureau

[18:20] Right, so our regional bureau one is the one we'll go to we just want to make sure it actually gets to them

[18:27] Right

[18:28] Okay, and you know there's a discussion

[18:30] All right

[18:32] With the other discussion both ever say I post day motion carries thank you

[18:38] This time we'll move on to Administrative Report.

[18:43] Mr. Mayor.

[18:44] Mr. Mayor City Council, one item from my office this evening.

[18:48] So as we start to wrap up, 2026, we're looking to 2027.

[18:52] Obviously, we just took a look at our preliminary budget.

[18:55] We're also starting to develop our legislative priorities.

[19:01] We'll be coming back to the City Council with some recommendations on that.

[19:04] but we have drafted two bills.

[19:07] Remember, 2026, legislative session,

[19:11] Centary sewer project was our legislative ask,

[19:14] our bonding bill ask.

[19:16] So we've developed that language and then also a hold

[19:20] over from 2026, some of our local businesses

[19:25] are asking us to develop a social district

[19:30] in our downtown area, so we will be going back

[19:33] and some language to try to get that passed.

[19:36] There are other things pending, we'll come back to our city council

[19:39] with a full package on that,

[19:42] wanting to get that on the radar of the city council,

[19:43] and just report to our residents, what's going on.

[19:47] So with that, I will yield to the Mayor and council.

[19:50] Very good, thank you for that update.

[19:52] From your office.

[19:53] Okay, this time we'll go on to Bizz and Quartz,

[19:55] and again, we'll go back to city engineer, Mr. Stark.

[19:58] I'm here at council, as you know,

[20:00] block wall on 1st Avenue between 38 and 39th Street. This is failing. This was put in under a min dot turn back project in 1993.

[20:10] I received two quotes to install a new wall using a larger 2 by 2 by 6 foot block.

[20:15] Colors from Bagaulis incorporated for 154.755.

[20:20] The second quotes from Lake States instruction for 158.79.

[20:24] This will be funded out of the general front talking with finance director.

[20:28] So, I'm asking you for counsel to approve this quote to Gaullis for 154-755 and we can have this installed this fall.

[20:38] Okay, here we want Mr. Storia to say regarding the replacement of the refailing retaining wall in 1st Avenue.

[20:45] Which is the council?

[20:46] Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve.

[20:48] We have a motion to approve.

[20:49] My councilor Hoffman, support by councilor Hildebrand.

[20:54] Any other session?

[20:54] Jesse, can you just a quick synopsis of what the turn back project was?

[21:00] We still use it, but how this occurred?

[21:02] Mayor Colson, as you know, first Avenue Hard Street used to be a main thoroughfare

[21:07] through Hibbing, so it was owned by Midnut.

[21:09] They reconstructed first Avenue and Howard Street.

[21:13] And then turned it back to the city.

[21:15] It's a state aid route.

[21:17] So we get funds through our state aid routes for state aid projects.

[21:20] So they turned it back to the city. We not own it be on the right away. Very good. Thank you for that

[21:26] Mr. Mayor. I'd just like to also say thank you for working closely with finance to find the money to do this

[21:32] Because this certainly was not a budget that I am in fact correct. Correct. Yeah. Thank you

[21:37] It is much needed

[21:38] The best daily for a few years now

[21:40] All right, we have first in a second in discussion done

[21:44] All of favor say I

[21:46] post-A, motion carries.

[22:03] added items from the Mendoly Review,

[22:06] and updated your receptacle and data locations

[22:08] to match the new office furniture layout.

[22:11] The total change order is 28,517 dollars in 80 cents.

[22:15] I did hand out a break up, break down of all the change orders for each project, a central range project, and the public safety building project.

[22:23] And we do have Todd Erickson here with Data of Senate Peterson.

[22:26] If there's any questions, we have this change order, and then the next agenda.

[22:30] The item is a change order for the public safety building.

[22:33] Very good.

[23:39] Yes, I was just curious, thank you, Mayor, I'm not remodeling the existing spaces that wasn't

[23:44] a planned part of this project that was originally budgeted.

[23:47] So, Mayor Council, so the existing spaces when we did the phase one of the project, that was just to get all the utilities out of the demo project into the public work side.

[24:02] And then the renovation was a change order that we brought to Council.

[24:06] Month ago, maybe.

[24:07] The renovation of those spaces.

[24:09] Okay.

[24:09] So that's the same thing.

[24:10] Yes.

[24:12] Thank you.

[24:53] So we had to raise it for feet to grade.

[24:56] We had some storm sewer upgrades and changes.

[24:59] Legs go we moved and added or subcosed to match the infrastructure layout.

[25:03] The mechanical we revised the pipe loading for the remote generator radiator.

[25:08] RFI 171 and 185 total of 62,772,98.

[25:14] This is for wall-bracing for the lower CMU walls.

[25:18] We had soil contamination.

[25:21] We had soil contamination.

[25:23] We were above grown now.

[25:24] That total of 24,667,12.

[25:28] And then PD requested we change some lock sets out for $6,954.

[25:34] And 82 cents.

[25:35] Okay, I'm appreciate that detail.

[25:40] I'll carry one of Mr. Storia to say regarding public safety building change order number

[25:46] seven, which is the council.

[25:48] Motion to approve, or should approve by Councillor Faso, support by Councillor Hoffman's

[25:54] document and any other discussion or questions from Mr. Storia.

[26:00] Hearing none, all of them, say aye.

[26:02] Aye.

[26:03] Opposed, aye.

[26:04] Motion carries.

[26:05] Thank you.

[26:05] Mr. Stark.

[26:07] This time.

[26:09] So, any service director, Mr. Rowan?

[26:13] Thank you, Mayor and council.

[26:15] I do have a change order for you as well on the Hibbing Memorial Arena, a Moniorume Project.

[26:20] So, this is our insurance claim at the Memorial Building where we're working through.

[26:26] This one is the existing conditions in the ceiling of the room that they're working on.

[26:33] didn't quite match what the plans and specs had.

[26:38] So we had to bring everything up to code

[26:40] for the new ammonia detection system and a new RTU

[26:45] rooftop unit that's going on there.

[26:46] It's much bigger than our old one.

[26:48] So we had to add extra beams and supports for that.

[26:52] So this was the modified a couple extra beams

[26:56] that weren't in there.

[26:57] And then we wrote some ductwork for the exhaust pad.

[27:00] This is still part of our insurance claim, like I said, and it's been sent to the League of Minutes on the Cities as well to continue on and move forward with this.

[27:10] So, it is in the amount of 24,552 dollars and 70 cents in requesting council approval.

[27:17] Okay, here we want Mr. Rolad to say regarding a renaimonia renovation in repair, which is a council.

[27:25] Well, should we approve by Councillor Scytaker's support by Councillor Hoffman's occupant?

[27:31] Next, I would assume all this work we've done prior to the site up because we're about

[27:35] a month away, maybe a half a month away from our completion date is still the second week of October.

[27:42] So from our plan and on, we don't see any reason why we can't turn the plant on at that point.

[27:47] There might be a little finish work and stuff going on, but as of right now, we just have to

[27:51] meeting here last week and we're still still set for that. The the big thing we're waiting on is that rooftop unit

[27:58] It's scheduled to be delivered the 25th of this month and a couple day install after that

[28:04] But that's the along lead item and it was ordered the day the contract was signed

[28:09] Would you mind what when you say rooftop unit what is I exhaust fan okay for it

[28:14] It's tied in with the ammonia detection system so if there's a lead automatic

[28:19] I'm going to take the last, yeah, I'll take the last fan

[28:21] and it opens up some Louvre's on the side of the building

[28:24] to vent it out.

[28:25] OK.

[28:25] Very good.

[28:26] All right, we have first, second, and the other discussion.

[28:29] Hearing none, all in favor of CI, post day, motion terrorist.

[28:33] Thank you.

[28:34] This time, we'll move on to a plea manager.

[28:37] And I still miss your story, you'll handle this.

[28:39] Mayor Council, this request is to approve the purchase

[28:42] of the flow truck chassis for $156,000 one dollar

[28:46] to ascend its truck center.

[28:47] If you recall, we did have this piece of equipment that's chassis in the 2027 budget.

[28:53] We were able to use interest earnings from this year to purchase that this year.

[28:58] If we had waited until after the first of the year, there was a $20,000 increase in the

[29:03] engine, just for emissions I believe.

[29:06] This will replace recurrence standards, so it'll take place of the standard, a greater and

[29:11] a dump truck, so I'll multi-use piece of equipment.

[29:13] And we're looking at planning for when our greater rental pieces up at the end of 2028 and then we'll budget in 2028 for the body of this truck.

[29:24] So I'm asking for Council approval to a purchase for this purchase for 156,000 one dollars.

[29:30] Very good.

[29:30] Here we go.

[29:30] Mr. Story had to say wishes of the council.

[29:33] Motion approved.

[29:33] Post approved by Councillor Bailey?

[29:36] Support.

[29:36] Councillor Fossil.

[29:38] Any other discussion?

[29:40] Can you clarify the funding again?

[29:42] It's going to come out of twenty-seven's budget.

[29:43] It's coming out of this.

[29:44] Twenty-twenty-six interest earnings.

[29:47] So it's not going to hit the twenty-seven budget at all.

[29:50] Correct.

[29:51] Okay.

[29:52] Okay.

[29:53] Actually, that was part of the twenty-twenty-seven budget.

[29:56] Is that still in the twenty-twenty-seven budget?

[29:59] Thank you.

[30:00] It's just making sure.

[30:03] Just even you, so this is the order once a time frame on this, when you said 2028 on the body. So what's

[30:09] the delivery date on 2027?

[30:11] Joe has on here an estimated delivery date of December of 2027.

[30:16] Okay, and then box will be.

[30:17] Yes. Right after that.

[30:19] So it is your order.

[30:20] So our greater lease is up the end of 2028.

[30:23] Yeah.

[30:23] So it'll fall right in line with when we get rid of those greater.

[30:26] Okay.

[30:28] Okay.

[30:28] We have first in a second, all of favor C.I.

[30:32] Opposed, Nate, motion turns.

[30:33] At this time, I'll ask her adjournment.

[30:35] Some moved.

[30:37] Second.

[30:38] Sport.

[30:39] We have a motion by councilor.

[30:42] Payless.

[30:42] Support my councilor.

[30:43] Swiver.

[30:44] Any other discussion?

[30:45] Very none.

[30:45] All of favor C.I.

[30:47] Opposed, Nate.

[30:48] Opposed.
