1
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:11,120
All right, 5:30 on the dot. I will call
the regular city of White Lakes council

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,120
meeting for Tuesday, uh, September 8th
to order. Roll call, please.

3
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,400
[clears throat]

>> Quorum.

9
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:24,600
» All right. Please stand for the pledge
of

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:35,440
» I allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:41,879
for which it stands. One nation under
God, [clears throat] indivisible with

12
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:41,879
all.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,079
All righty. Um so we have a public
hearing. So the um kind of flow of our

14
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,280
usual meetings um is a little different.
So we will put a pause to the regular

15
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:03,680
city council meeting and we will um open
up the public hearing. So could we

16
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:06,680
please have a roll call for that please?
>> Here

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:20,040
» all right. Um, so yeah, before us is
ordinance 249,

18
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,640
uh, amending the official zoning map of
the city of Lakes to reclassify certain

19
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:33,280
part parcels to the R5 and R six
residential districts. Um, so the

20
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:38,479
council has provided with a packet just
kind of going over that ordinance. We

21
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,479
have um it in the back there too if you
haven't read through the ordinance or

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:50,720
are wondering about that uh resoning or
ordinance change. Um so with the R5 and

23
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:57,680
R six piece of it, so R5 will be um
looking at reszoning the B uh Bose

24
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:02,960
school lot. Um so for those wondering R5
um would include um with a conditional

25
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:07,280
use permit a single family dwelling and
then permitted by right would be uh two

26
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,920
family dwelling
uh town home dwelling and then uh

27
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,879
cluster development um dwelling. Uh this
wouldn't include um multiple family

28
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,239
dwelling. So those are like your
apartment buildings and things like

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,040
that. So I know that's um what a lot of
folks had questions about. Um so with

30
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:29,360
the Bose school with this resoning it
would not include u multiple family

31
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:34,480
dwellings. So your things like um
apartments so not like this big um

32
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:39,840
building like um Irongate or those
different sorts of things. Um so that's

33
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:45,120
what that would include. Um and then the
other um area that would be reszoned um

34
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:54,800
would be R six and that's over by the
Methodist Church um cemetery water tower

35
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:59,519
area. Um and R six would include um with
a conditional use permit single family

36
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,519
dwelling and then um with permitted by
right would include uh town home

37
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:09,840
dwelling cluster development and then
multiple family dwelling. Um

38
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:15,200
so we've the council um the planning and
zoning commission has been working with

39
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:21,120
a housing um group for the past year or
so um free of charge um I think the

40
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,400
funds came from the state or the county
or state

41
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:30,080
» um so they're they're experts they've
worked for the the county in different

42
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:38,080
areas so they went through um
our different zoning um

43
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:43,440
areas and gave recommendations. Um so
that's [clears throat] in working with

44
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:50,959
them. Um this is kind of one of the
ideas that um was brought about. Um

45
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:56,159
yeah. So is there anybody that has
anything to say regarding that ordinance

46
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:00,159
change? So this isn't our our public
forum like we do with our regular

47
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:05,680
council meeting. This is to speak to um
that reszoning or that ordinance.

48
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,040
Um,
I don't know. So, I guess for me

49
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,879
personally, and I think a lot of people
on the council too, in talking with

50
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,600
residents or residents that have emailed
us or whatever, um, a lot of older

51
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:24,240
residents are looking to, um, downsize
or look for, um,

52
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:29,759
housing that's like single single floor.
Um, a lot of people are looking for like

53
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:34,800
firsttime homeo homeowners. Um, so
ideally that's what I mean we can't say

54
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:41,280
which um developer would come in and
build. Um, but that's what I would hope

55
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:47,440
for um or what I would wish if it was up
to us um to have this sort of building

56
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:51,520
there cuz a lot of people are older
folks are leaving their their homes and

57
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:57,280
moving over to to like apartment
buildings in Virginia um because there

58
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:02,000
isn't that sort of housing here. Um, and
then the Kenwood apartments, um, from my

59
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,199
understanding, there's a fairly long
wait list, so people can't move into

60
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:12,240
there. So, this is a way of, um,
addressing those needs or wants from

61
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:17,720
people that are wanting to live here or
stay here or move here.

62
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Um,

63
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,759
that covers about everything.
>> Anything else that

64
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:30,000
» No, I think you covered it all.
been working on this for almost a year

65
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:34,720
now. So, it's nice to get to this point.
>> Um, and another big thing for for cities

66
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:38,240
too,
building housing and having more

67
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:42,800
residents move into town as a way to
kind of widen your your tax base, there

68
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:47,600
isn't a ton of ways cities can can make
money. Um, so if there's more residents

69
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:52,320
in town, there's more um taxpayers in
town, which means there's hopefully less

70
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:58,560
that each household um would be paying
for um taxes and um water, waste water,

71
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:04,840
trash, those different sorts of things.
So that would be the hope also just

72
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,840
widening that tax base.

73
00:06:06,319 --> 00:06:10,639
Um
>> I haven't gotten any word from the city

74
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:17,280
of Potter County on
>> Oh, yeah. Thanks for the question. Um,

75
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:22,880
so we have been talking to um the county
about the city purchasing it straight

76
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:27,440
from um from the county. Um Dean and I
have a meeting with them on Thursday, I

77
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,360
believe, Thursday morning.
>> Um and hopefully, yeah, we can figure

78
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:35,440
something out where we just purchased
the land cuz I guess that was my fear.

79
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:40,160
Um when it was [clears throat] getting
demolished, it got demolished. We kind

80
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:45,440
of talked with the the county and we had
um commissioners and legislators helping

81
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:49,759
out with that and making that um making
that making sure that was completed. But

82
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:55,440
my big concern was once it was gone,
who's going to buy that land and do what

83
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:59,759
with it? Um, so that's with us reaching
out to the county and working with them

84
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,759
is if it's in the the city's control, we
can kind of decide what goes there, us

85
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:07,360
and residents rather than um it going up
for public auction and then just some

86
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,479
private individual buying it and either
not doing anything with it. So then

87
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,560
there's those big mounds of dirt and big
divots there that are never taken care

88
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:19,199
of or they build some sort of housing
that um people aren't wanting in the

89
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,720
area. Um because I know that was a big
concern when we were first kind of

90
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:27,520
undertaking this was a lot of folks were
worried about some sort of big apartment

91
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:31,039
complex going up there. Um and with the
resoning that that wouldn't allow that.

92
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:35,759
Um which is good.
>> Giving you a timeline.

93
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,039
» No. So yeah, we're meeting again with
the county on Thursday. I guess the

94
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,560
intention would be for the city to buy
it. So then again, we can control what

95
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:49,120
goes there. Um, and we've kind of used
that as a bargaining chip too with the

96
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:52,479
housing piece of it. Um, because if
there's more taxpayers within the city,

97
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,599
there's also more taxpayers within the
county. Um, so it would be in kind of

98
00:07:54,560 --> 00:08:01,840
their best interest to sell the land to
the city. Um, so we've been using that

99
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:08,000
as kind of a bargaining chip with the
county also. Um, but again, yeah, not a

100
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:11,599
for sure thing. they for folks that live
around the B school, it sounded like

101
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:15,440
they had gotten some sort of notice that
it was going up for a public auction. Um

102
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:18,319
sounded like a mistake that was a
mistake reaching out to them and we got

103
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,440
that all figured out. So, it's not going
up for public auction. So, we're going

104
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:26,479
to continue talking with them and
hopefully um figure out some sort of um

105
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,639
way for the city just to purchase it
straight from the county rather than it

106
00:08:27,919 --> 00:08:37,440
going up for public auction and risk um
whoever buying it.

107
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:41,039
I think they had has it been appraised?
>> I think they had it

108
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,839
» at one point, but it's they're using the
estimated market value off the tax

109
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,000
statement right now.
>> I think that's around 50 grand.

110
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,680
» Um,
and there's different reserves and

111
00:08:49,901 --> 00:08:55,839
[snorts] things you can pull from to
purchase the land with that.

112
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,640
» Yeah.
>> Question.

113
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,440
» Yeah. Could you repeat the types of
housing in the area with a Methodist

114
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,000
church?
>> Yes. Um so that would be R six. A

115
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:11,279
Methodist church again R six. Um that
would be with a conditional use permit

116
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,839
single family dwelling and then with
permitted by right that would include um

117
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:19,680
town home dwelling uh a cluster
development and then multiple family

118
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:24,000
dwelling. So that would be more of like
your apartment like um Kenwood

119
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,839
Apartments or something like that. And
that would be more back in like kind of

120
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:30,880
the woods kind of like with how um the
Kenwood apartments are kind of set up

121
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,560
now where it's not like in the middle of
town. It would be more like in a wooded

122
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:39,040
area. And in talking with those housing
folks um they kind of identified that as

123
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,839
kind of being the best area for that
because there's different trails and

124
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:47,760
things that would probably attract
developers from their experience. Um

125
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:53,120
so yeah, that was in talking with them
their

126
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:57,760
thoughts. Yeah. Any other questions or
comments regarding the resoning of

127
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:04,800
either of those areas?
>> Has there been any plans for the area?

128
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:09,680
» Um the city?
>> No. Um yeah, we've been talking with the

129
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:15,360
county about purchasing it from them. I
haven't heard of any ideas of um any

130
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:20,160
sort of development or anything at this
point. Um, and again, it's in the

131
00:10:17,839 --> 00:10:24,800
county's um, control and the hope would
be us getting it from them. Um, sounded

132
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,760
like there was some concerns with like a
underground fuel tank from the school

133
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:35,040
um, and it was some sort of
environmental MPCA type concern, but it

134
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,839
sounded like it's not much of a concern
anymore because it was gelatinous or

135
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,839
something or other.
>> Yeah, we don't know that 100% yet.

136
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:45,600
That's Thursday's meeting. So, we're
hoping to to wait on that, too, because

137
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:48,560
we don't want to get the land and then
it becomes this big environmental

138
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:54,800
whatever because of this underground
fuel tank that um

139
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,519
so yeah, I think us being in close
contact with the county is a good thing

140
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:03,760
right now. So,
um but no, thank you for the question.

141
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:09,040
Any other questions or comments for
resoning of either of those areas?

142
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,040
» Yeah.
Heat

143
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,200
up

144
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,360
here.

145
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600
Heat.

146
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:52,279
Heat.

147
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,040
Heat.

148
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,920
Heat.

149
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,360
Heat.

150
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,240
Heat.

151
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,920
Heat.

152
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Heat.

153
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,519
I guess that's the

154
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:35,880
for something to for them to move into.
So that would be my hope. But yeah, I

155
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,880
thank you for yeah, bringing that up.

156
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:45,399
Um, and then um I'll ask one last time.
Is there any other comments or questions

157
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:45,399
for that ordinance?

158
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Hearing none. Um, we'll move on to
adjournment. So, is there a motion for

159
00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,399
adjournment?
>> Some move.

160
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920
» Motion from councelor Jarla. Is there a
second?

161
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,880
» A second.
>> Second from councelor Grahams. All those

162
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,374
in favor? I.
>> Any opposed?

163
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,394
» Hearing none. Motion carried.
>> [clears throat]

164
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:12,959
» All right. So, we will go back to our
regular city council meeting. Um, and

165
00:14:11,839 --> 00:14:18,000
thank you for everybody that had
comments and questions. So, uh, moving

166
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,920
along, uh, the consent agenda. Has
everybody had a chance to read through

167
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:26,000
that? Any comments or questions for
anything in there?

168
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:29,920
» Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to
approve the consent agenda as presented.

169
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760
» So, move. Motion from councelor Jarpa.
Is there a second?

170
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320
» A second.
>> Second from councelor Ecman. All those

171
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:36,800
in favor?
>> I.

172
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,440
» Any opposed?
>> Hearing none. Motion carried. Um, so

173
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,760
moving on to the guests and citizens
forum. Is there anybody that wishes to

174
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:49,480
say anything?
Yep. Good.

175
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:15,360
The device pictured in your image is
actually not a bicotta camera, but

176
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:21,040
rather a black security automated
license reader camera. While both

177
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:27,760
companies make security and surveillance
equipment used by organizations and law

178
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:34,720
enforcement, this specificated
black enclosure with the distinct

179
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:40,079
rounded protective top visor is the
signature hardware design for block

180
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:46,800
safety cameras. They are commonly
mounted on roadside utility poles to

181
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:52,880
track license plates and vehicle
characteristics.

182
00:15:48,880 --> 00:16:00,320
This was the response I got from Google
when I sent them a close-up picture of

183
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:07,040
the camera on that pole. Mind you, that
camera is public property in public. So,

184
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:13,040
as long as I'm not doing anything
illegal, like trying to scale the pole

185
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:19,199
or interfere with the camera, I was
completely within my rights to inspect

186
00:16:15,839 --> 00:16:23,680
that camera as closely as I could from
the ground.

187
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:30,000
» Mhm. Okay.
See here.

188
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:35,680
Okay. Moving on. I asked the follow-up
question.

189
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:42,079
What model of flock camera is this? This
device is the Flock Safety Falcon

190
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:48,160
automated license plate reader. The
Falcon is Flex

191
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:53,600
Flux Safety's flagship infrastructural
camera model. It features a distinct

192
00:16:51,920 --> 00:17:00,880
aerodynamic
matte black protective enclosure with an

193
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:07,760
integrated upper sunshield overhang. It
is widely deployed across public

194
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:13,360
infrastructure and light poles to log
vehicle characteristics,

195
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:19,199
color and license plate information for
law enforcement and private and private

196
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:25,360
security systems.
Key features: vehicle fingerprint

197

technology captures details like the
vehicle make, model, type, color,

198
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:37,760
license plate, full, partial or missing,
and unique identifiers such as bumper

stickers or aftermarket modifications.
Infrastructure free. operate them.

200
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:50,080
Builtin batteries charged by an attached
solar panel utilizing a cellular LTE

201
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:56,160
connection
to transmit data without needing

202
00:17:53,280 --> 00:18:00,559
hardwired power or bulky live video
stream.

203
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:06,559
This explains
the solar panel and the antennas

204
00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:12,559
that were moved up
higher on that pole. And in the case of

205
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:19,280
the solar panel around the back in
feeble attempts to hide them.

206
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:25,919
And now councelor Jarbulla since last
month you were the one who specifically

207
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:34,160
told me the camera on that pole is a
cotta camera. Now I specifically ask you

208
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:38,640
what series of bracotta camera is that
that you just boxed that design on that

209
00:18:37,919 --> 00:18:42,720
pole.
>> I'll refer you to the chief of police.

210
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:48,240
He's got that information.
>> That's a remote series CR63.

211
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:52,160
» And I took a picture off their website.
It looks exactly like that one out

212
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:57,360
there. So I printed a few things off cuz
I figured us saying things last time

213
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:02,000
wasn't enough for you. Um, so I printed
off our our invoices and they're

214
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:10,559
entitled to the Vicotta system.
>> Now I ask the the followup question.

215
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:18,559
Does bracata meet any cameras that use
black signature housing design? No.

216
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:24,720
Ricarda does not make any camera that
use this black safety signature

217
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:28,000
rectangular roadside housing design.
there's anybody that wants to look at

218
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:33,600
the picture of it. Printed it off
straight from there.

219
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:37,600
» Standard commercial security form

222
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:55,440
which mount to walls, ceilings, poles
using traditional mounting brackets.

223
00:19:51,919 --> 00:20:02,720
Lock signature housing is a distinct
purpose

224
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:09,120
built wedge shaped square box often
paired with an angled solar panel

225
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:18,000
designed specifically for standalone
remote side roadside pole mounting.

226
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:24,480
Now also today
I went down and I looked at the known

227
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:28,559
flaw camera on the intersection of 4 and
16.

228
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:35,360
What did I find?
A camera that looks exactly like that

229
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:43,200
camera with the only difference being
that it's on a smaller pole.

230
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:45,600
So if you continue to maintain that that
is a picata camera

231
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:51,440
» Mhm.
>> I offer you both the challenge and an

232
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:58,880
opportunity [clears throat] prove it
allow a public inspection of the camera

233
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:04,480
and that does not require anything to be
disconnected. All it requires is someone

234
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:10,880
to be down there with the ladder. And
you can even require that people sign a

235
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:15,919
liability waiver
before climbing up that ladder. And that

236
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:24,400
would be smart because that actually
would be in the best interest of that of

237
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:30,159
the city. Now, if you did that and I
went up there and I inspect that camera

238
00:21:27,679 --> 00:21:38,240
closely and I don't find what I'm
looking for, I will be the first one to

239
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:43,600
come back here and publicly admit to you
that I was wrong. Thank you.

240
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,760
» Um, yeah, we'll see what we can do. And
then I also printed off our our minutes

241
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:52,159
from the meeting when we talked about
that camera. And

242
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,400
» in the minutes, I'm I'm just going to
finish quick and then you can go.

243
00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:02,000
» Um, and within those minutes, it was a
motion and a support to approve Ricotta

244
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:06,400
security camera proposal, not a um
flock. I mean, I printed off a few

245
00:22:04,159 --> 00:22:11,120
things like the invoice, the minutes, a
picture of the camera from the Vicotta

246
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,280
website. Um, we can see what we can do
about that. I don't know if

247
00:22:12,285 --> 00:22:19,679
[clears throat] that's something that
the city can facilitate. Um, but I mean

248
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:23,039
it's not a flat camera, but go ahead
with what you were saying.

249
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,400
» Do you mind if I approach briefly to
look at the

250
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,200
» Yeah, you can.
>> Thank you.

251
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,200
» Yeah.

252
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:39,640
And it printed kind of odd. I don't know
why, but

253
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:47,679
and that's all I could find just being a
a lay person. I'm not a cop or anything,

254
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:52,880
but
>> Okay, I must yield that that looks very

255
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:57,760
similar.
I cannot say it looks exact because as

256
00:22:55,679 --> 00:23:04,159
you just said
that is not the greatest print out which

257
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:10,960
happens sometimes. I know and understand
that sometimes printers don't cooperate.

258
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:15,039
Did you write down the number of the one
that well chief mentioned the number and

259
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:20,159
be on the invoice of what we paid for
it? So you can personally go online and

260
00:23:17,679 --> 00:23:25,640
look at the bicotta camera pictures and
compare it to the flock camera.

261
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:33,520
It it I mean if you can take that number
and look online and compare the photo

262
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:38,080
online for that specific camera to the
flock camera,

263
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,720
» it might help you. Can you look up that
again?

264
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:46,640
» Yeah. And if you want to visit me during
office hours and go on my laptop, we can

265
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:54,280
look at it to together. So we're not
>> CR 63E.

266
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Okay, I will

267
00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:02,799
» quick Google search if you want to see
them on here too.

268
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:08,880
» I will I will look that up for myself.
>> Mhm. And also

269
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:14,159
I I do ask for a public inspection of
that camera.

270
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:19,440
And if it turns out that I am wrong, I
am man enough to admit it.

271
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:23,840
» And I will be the first one to come back
here and publicly admit that I was

272
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,279
wrong.
And that would also mean if I'm wrong, I

273
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:34,960
will remove the signs in my front yard
that I'm sure you've all noticed. Thank

274
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:40,080
you. Yep. Um well, and know I'll I'll
talk with the um city attorney and law

275
00:24:38,159 --> 00:24:42,960
enforcement about it's facilitating
that. I don't want to say yes or no

276
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,919
because I just don't know the answer.
>> I understand. Okay.

277
00:24:44,159 --> 00:24:47,520
» The liability, right?
>> Liability.

278
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,480
» All right. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Question for Dean.

279
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:57,039
» Is this something we could possibly have
public works have somebody go up with a

280
00:24:55,039 --> 00:25:02,640
bucket truck, take a picture of the
camera, and provide it to?

281
00:24:59,919 --> 00:25:07,360
I mean, it it's the liability of having
giving him a ladder and saying that we

282
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:11,520
can't we can't take that on. But if we
could have public works go with a bucket

283
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:16,320
and go up there and take a picture of
that camera and then show it to him,

284
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:24,000
that would probably solve the situation.
I would hope. Councelor Jarba,

285
00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:30,720
that is why I mentioned requiring people
to sign a liability waiver climbing the

286
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:34,799
» the liability. It wouldn't work. They
could still send the city. There's the

287
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:38,880
liability would be too great on the
city's part to have a citizen climb a

288
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:45,600
ladder and go up on a pole.
>> Well, I am not an attorney and I have

289
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:49,039
admittedly no legal knowledge, so I
cannot challenge that. But I'll I'll

290
00:25:47,679 --> 00:25:52,400
make sure to follow up with them and if
they say, "Yeah, we can do it," then

291
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,720
we'd look at some facilitating
something. And if we [clears throat]

292
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:59,200
can't, then I would just let you know.
Um, but again, we're not trying to hide

293
00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:02,640
anything, I can understand. Not kind of
wanting you want to see it for your your

294
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:07,039
own eyes. I can understand that.
>> Um, so we'll try to facilitate something

295
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:11,360
and if we can't, I'm sorry, but we'll
we'll follow up.

296
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:16,159
» Okay. Thank you for listening.
>> Yeah. Thank you.

297
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:20,799
Um, all right. Any other uh guests or
citizens citizens that wish to say

298
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:25,200
anything?
Hearing nothing, we will move on. Uh

299
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:27,039
reports from staff. Uh city
administrator Wyberg, anything from you

300
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,320
tonight?
>> Uh nothing from me tonight.

301
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:39,480
» All right. Uh just about everyone's here
for budgeting. So, uh library director

302
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,480
Lambie, anything from you tonight?

303
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:49,200
» All right. Uh September is library card
signup month and we encourage everyone

304
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:53,840
in White Lakes to get a card. It's free.
There's no age limit and you gain access

Theater Thursday starts again this week
at 1:00. We'll be showing solo meal.

307
00:27:04,159 --> 00:27:13,120
This Saturday we are open from 10 to 12
uh 10 to 2 and we'll be open Saturdays

308
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:17,919
now until the end of May.
Thursday on September 17th we are

309
00:27:15,919 --> 00:27:24,159
hosting a Medicare Education
Conversation sponsored by Northridge

310
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:29,679
Community Credit Union at 11:30. And on
September 19th from 10:30 to 1:30 we are

311
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:34,640
celebrating Minnesota Libraries Read
Together. Come on down in pajamas or

312
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,400
loungewear. Bring a stuffed animal or
blanket if you like and read with us.

313
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:44,919
Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you. Uh moving on to

314
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,919
public works director Snetzinger.

315
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:53,039
» Yeah, just a couple things. Uh letting
everybody know the campground will be

316
00:27:50,000 --> 00:28:00,159
closing Sunday the 20th for normal
season camping. Uh offseason camping

317
00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:03,600
will be available uh after that. Um, I
haven't spoke to the campground managers

318
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:07,600
yet to see how long they'll be staying
on site. You know, they normally stick

319
00:28:05,679 --> 00:28:13,039
around for a couple weeks after the wrap
up their work for the season, so there

320
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:18,640
may still be some people down there. Um,
at public works, we'll be doing some

321
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:24,240
valve repairs in the streets. Uh, uh,
public utilities hired a company called

322
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:29,120
JR Wastewater to go through and, uh,
clean and operate all the valves in

323
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:33,440
town. They came across five
uh valves that are inoperable right now.

324
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:38,960
So, we want them operating going into
winter season. So, there's one that we

325
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:44,320
think we can repair from above ground
and four that we're going to have to do.

326
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:47,360
So, just uh in the next week or so, you
can see road closer overhead

327
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:51,919
[clears throat]
for that.

328
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:57,919
We'll have some intersections done, but
uh we'd like to get it done and in time

329
00:28:54,399 --> 00:29:02,240
to Blackhawk this season. Uh and that
being said, we wrapped up a bunch of

330
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:06,640
Blackhawk repairs around town. If you
noticed, uh some of the streets that had

331
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:12,799
previous main brakes that have sunk
over, you know, many years. Uh we milled

332
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:17,840
them up and re black off them, trying to
get those areas uh smoothed back out.

333
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:24,600
» That's it for tonight.
>> All right. Thank you.

334
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:24,600
Uh EMS director Mstead

335
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,080
» the computer's going off and we're
trying to answer.

336
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:35,039
» Okay.
Uh ERPD chief close. Anything you need

337
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:40,080
tonight?
>> Here to address any of the camera

338
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:44,320
questions which again they are through
town. They are not licensed play

339
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:49,760
tracking. They don't know who's driving
the vehicle. Um,

340
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:54,559
like you said, we're happy to answer any
questions about that.

341
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:58,960
Um,
>> all right. Sounds good. Thank you for

342
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:03,600
Yeah. providing that clarification. Um,
assistant fire chief ecman, anything

343
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:13,520
from you tonight?
>> Fire calls for August. Um, three and two

344
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:20,399
calls, one fire, an iPhone crash, and
another one out. Um

345
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:26,720
and to the smoke alarm
and gas.

346
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:29,120
» Sounds good. Thank you. Moving along to
city attorney Lewiki. Anything for you

347
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,799
tonight?
>> Uh thanks, Mayor. Nothing tonight.

348
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,240
» Sounds good. Thank you. All right,
moving on to reports from elected

349
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,919
officials. Starting with councelor
Grahams.

350
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:45,760
» Uh just an update for the chamber. We're
looking at hosting our annual uh haunted

351
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:50,960
trail at the last weekend of October and
also doing a um Christmas lighting event

352
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:54,960
where we can kids can make decorations
and we can walk over and light up the

353
00:30:53,120 --> 00:31:00,159
Christmas tree. We're collaborating with
Michelle at the library. Hoping we can

354
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:04,960
combine some ideas and events and work
together on both of those to kind of

355
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:09,360
draw more attendees and and promote it
more. That's all I got.

356
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,360
» All right. Very cool. Thank you. Uh,
councelor Jarvala, anything from you

357
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,760
tonight?
>> The planning and zoning meeting for next

358
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:21,039
week is cancelled. They have nothing to
discuss. And Jill and I were at the uh,

359
00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:26,720
East Range public safety board meeting
tonight. The two big issues were the

360
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:30,159
memor memorandum of understanding on the
school resource officer. It's going to

361
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:34,880
be down to like an hour and a half a
day. So, they will be still paying the

362
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:41,519
department for that. And they are also
promoting for a uh in-house position for

363
00:31:38,559 --> 00:31:44,480
another sergeant to replace Cody.
It's all I've got.

364
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:49,919
» All right. Thanks for the update. Uh
councelor Matthysse, Councelor Ecman,

365
00:31:47,919 --> 00:31:53,600
don't want to forget her. I'll be in
trouble.

366
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:57,039
» Thanks. Um the community garden is
looking pretty sad right [clears throat]

367
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:01,919
now. Um I think there's a couple spots
open, so if anybody wants a spot, reach

368
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:07,600
out to Dale White House. Um, we're
looking at doing a couple craft fairs

369
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:11,279
this fall at the probably the arena. So,
if anybody wants to be a vendor, reach

370
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,880
out. And that's about it.
>> All right. Sounds good. Thank you. Uh,

371
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,480
councelor Matson, anything from you?
>> Nothing for me tonight.

372
00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:22,000
» Sounds good. Uh, on my end, I had
attended the Msabi East Youth Hockey

373
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Board meeting a couple weekends ago or
so. Um, they have a projected kind of

374
00:32:24,159 --> 00:32:29,760
lower number of volunteers this year, so
they won't be running the hockey hut or

375
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,440
the concession stand this year. Um, so
it's kind of looking like the city will

376
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:37,120
have to operate it this year. Um, but
just kind of moving forward kind of with

377
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:41,200
budgeting. Um, the council will just
have to kind of discuss that more and

378
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:44,399
talk about ideas. Um, if Bucky was here,
he would speak more to it and I've had

379
00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:49,919
conversations with him already and so
has Dean. So, um, there's that. Um, and

380
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,240
then I was also informed that the 30-day
public comment period uh, opened up for

381
00:32:52,399 --> 00:32:58,799
one of uh, New Range Copper Nickels
permits. So, I'm working on a comment of

382
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,360
support for that. Um and I'll be
submitting that to the Army Corps of

383
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:09,440
Engineers um before Saturday which is um
when the all the public comments are

384
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:14,240
due. So that's it for me on my end. Um
so moving ahead uh nothing for old

385
00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:20,559
business. We'll move right into new
business. Uh 10.1 resolution 202619

386
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:26,360
authorizing the city of White Lakes to
make application to and accept funds

387
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,360
from R26067168

388
00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:32,838
special projects uh TEFP. Um do you mind
speaking to this Dean?

389
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:34,880
» Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't
[clears throat] put much detail in

390
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:39,919
there, but that's for the Ranger Snow
Build Club. Um we're the fiscal agent or

391
00:33:37,919 --> 00:33:44,880
I'm the fiscal agent on it and we're
that is to put more funding to the CCC

392
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:52,000
camp.
beach house or whatever. Um, so that's

393
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:59,039
what that one's for.
>> Um, so yeah, we usually do resolutions

394
00:33:55,360 --> 00:34:03,840
uh to um yeah, accept funds or uh
complete applications for the triple R.

395
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:07,919
Um, so this looks similar to kind of
ones we've [clears throat] done in the

396
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:13,839
past. Um, yeah, it'll be nice when they
have all the um trail head and all the

397
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:17,679
proposed um trail work that they're
talking about doing and work out there.

398
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:22,000
So, that'll be cool. Um, any other
comments or questions for that

399
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:25,839
resolution?
>> Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to

400
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:28,320
um approve that resolution.
>> So, move.

401
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,359
» Motion from councelor Jarva. Is there a
second?

402
00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:31,520
» I'll second.
>> Second from councelor Ecman. [laughter]

403
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,480
All those in favor?
>> I.

404
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:39,280
» Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion
carried. Moving on to 10.2, resolution

405
00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:46,240
202618,
appointing election judges for the 2026

406
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:52,879
general election. Um again, uh we do
this every election cycle. Um kind of

407
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:59,119
approving these resolutions to uh
appoint folks to be um election judges.

408
00:34:56,639 --> 00:35:02,480
Um and looking through the names, a lot
of the the same people who have done it

409
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:07,359
in previous years. So, thank you to all
of them for

410
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,599
sticking with it. Um, anything to add,
Dean?

411
00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:12,880
» Uh, no. You already approved this once,
but we had to add some more people on

412
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:17,920
here for election judges because we have
to staff it with two people all during

413
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:21,760
all hours. Two election judges, I should
say.

414
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:25,440
» Um, yeah, we had to add some
>> so more the primary,

415
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:30,320
» Sherry, me, Michelle.
>> Oh, okay.

416
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:34,240
» Um, I think that's the three additions.
So same list as the primary but now just

417
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,720
adding those three is
>> yeah just just to cover the office.

418
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:44,480
» So we have to have election two election
judges on in the office at all times

419
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:49,359
during the election season which we
didn't before.

420
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:55,520
» Sounds good. Um any other comments or
questions from anybody

421
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:58,400
hearing none I will ask for a motion to
approve that resolution.

422
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,400
» I'll make that motion. Motion from
councelor Grahams. Is there a second?

423
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,119

ordinance 249 amending the official

427
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:26,560
zoning map of the city to reclassify
certain parcels to R5 and R six uh

428
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:32,160
residential districts. Um, I kind of
spoke at length during the public

429
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:35,599
hearing piece of it. Um, so I I don't
have much to add or anything to add.

430
