[0:05] All right, 5:30 on the dot. I will call
the regular city of White Lakes council
[0:08] meeting for Tuesday, uh, September 8th
to order. Roll call, please.
[0:13] [clears throat]
>> Councelor Gramps,
[0:14] » here.
>> Jarbala,
[0:15] » here.
>> Hecman,
[0:16] » here.
>> Mat,
[0:17] » here.
>> Mayor Scott,
[0:18] » here.
>> Quorum.
[0:20] » All right. Please stand for the pledge
of
[0:26] » I allegiance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic
[0:32] for which it stands. One nation under
God, [clears throat] indivisible with
[0:38] all.
[0:43] All righty. Um so we have a public
hearing. So the um kind of flow of our
[0:49] usual meetings um is a little different.
So we will put a pause to the regular
[0:54] city council meeting and we will um open
up the public hearing. So could we
[0:59] please have a roll call for that please?
>> Here
[1:12] » all right. Um, so yeah, before us is
ordinance 249,
[1:20] uh, amending the official zoning map of
the city of Lakes to reclassify certain
[1:23] part parcels to the R5 and R six
residential districts. Um, so the
[1:30] council has provided with a packet just
kind of going over that ordinance. We
[1:35] have um it in the back there too if you
haven't read through the ordinance or
[1:39] are wondering about that uh resoning or
ordinance change. Um so with the R5 and
[1:47] R six piece of it, so R5 will be um
looking at reszoning the B uh Bose
[1:53] school lot. Um so for those wondering R5
um would include um with a conditional
[2:00] use permit a single family dwelling and
then permitted by right would be uh two
[2:05] family dwelling
uh town home dwelling and then uh
[2:09] cluster development um dwelling. Uh this
wouldn't include um multiple family
[2:15] dwelling. So those are like your
apartment buildings and things like
[2:18] that. So I know that's um what a lot of
folks had questions about. Um so with
[2:22] the Bose school with this resoning it
would not include u multiple family
[2:27] dwellings. So your things like um
apartments so not like this big um
[2:32] building like um Irongate or those
different sorts of things. Um so that's
[2:37] what that would include. Um and then the
other um area that would be reszoned um
[2:43] would be R six and that's over by the
Methodist Church um cemetery water tower
[2:50] area. Um and R six would include um with
a conditional use permit single family
[2:56] dwelling and then um with permitted by
right would include uh town home
[3:01] dwelling cluster development and then
multiple family dwelling. Um
[3:07] so we've the council um the planning and
zoning commission has been working with
[3:11] a housing um group for the past year or
so um free of charge um I think the
[3:18] funds came from the state or the county
or state
[3:22] » um so they're they're experts they've
worked for the the county in different
[3:26] areas so they went through um
our different zoning um
[3:34] areas and gave recommendations. Um so
that's [clears throat] in working with
[3:40] them. Um this is kind of one of the
ideas that um was brought about. Um
[3:47] yeah. So is there anybody that has
anything to say regarding that ordinance
[3:54] change? So this isn't our our public
forum like we do with our regular
[3:57] council meeting. This is to speak to um
that reszoning or that ordinance.
[4:03] Um,
I don't know. So, I guess for me
[4:07] personally, and I think a lot of people
on the council too, in talking with
[4:11] residents or residents that have emailed
us or whatever, um, a lot of older
[4:15] residents are looking to, um, downsize
or look for, um,
[4:21] housing that's like single single floor.
Um, a lot of people are looking for like
[4:26] firsttime homeo homeowners. Um, so
ideally that's what I mean we can't say
[4:32] which um developer would come in and
build. Um, but that's what I would hope
[4:37] for um or what I would wish if it was up
to us um to have this sort of building
[4:44] there cuz a lot of people are older
folks are leaving their their homes and
[4:49] moving over to to like apartment
buildings in Virginia um because there
[4:55] isn't that sort of housing here. Um, and
then the Kenwood apartments, um, from my
[5:00] understanding, there's a fairly long
wait list, so people can't move into
[5:04] there. So, this is a way of, um,
addressing those needs or wants from
[5:10] people that are wanting to live here or
stay here or move here.
[5:14] Um,
[5:18] that covers about everything.
>> Anything else that
[5:22] » No, I think you covered it all.
been working on this for almost a year
[5:27] now. So, it's nice to get to this point.
>> Um, and another big thing for for cities
[5:33] too,
building housing and having more
[5:36] residents move into town as a way to
kind of widen your your tax base, there
[5:40] isn't a ton of ways cities can can make
money. Um, so if there's more residents
[5:45] in town, there's more um taxpayers in
town, which means there's hopefully less
[5:49] that each household um would be paying
for um taxes and um water, waste water,
[5:56] trash, those different sorts of things.
So that would be the hope also just
[6:00] widening that tax base.
[6:06] Um
>> I haven't gotten any word from the city
[6:08] of Potter County on
>> Oh, yeah. Thanks for the question. Um,
[6:13] so we have been talking to um the county
about the city purchasing it straight
[6:19] from um from the county. Um Dean and I
have a meeting with them on Thursday, I
[6:25] believe, Thursday morning.
>> Um and hopefully, yeah, we can figure
[6:29] something out where we just purchased
the land cuz I guess that was my fear.
[6:33] Um when it was [clears throat] getting
demolished, it got demolished. We kind
[6:37] of talked with the the county and we had
um commissioners and legislators helping
[6:42] out with that and making that um making
that making sure that was completed. But
[6:47] my big concern was once it was gone,
who's going to buy that land and do what
[6:51] with it? Um, so that's with us reaching
out to the county and working with them
[6:56] is if it's in the the city's control, we
can kind of decide what goes there, us
[7:01] and residents rather than um it going up
for public auction and then just some
[7:05] private individual buying it and either
not doing anything with it. So then
[7:08] there's those big mounds of dirt and big
divots there that are never taken care
[7:12] of or they build some sort of housing
that um people aren't wanting in the
[7:16] area. Um because I know that was a big
concern when we were first kind of
[7:20] undertaking this was a lot of folks were
worried about some sort of big apartment
[7:24] complex going up there. Um and with the
resoning that that wouldn't allow that.
[7:29] Um which is good.
>> Giving you a timeline.
[7:34] » No. So yeah, we're meeting again with
the county on Thursday. I guess the
[7:38] intention would be for the city to buy
it. So then again, we can control what
[7:42] goes there. Um, and we've kind of used
that as a bargaining chip too with the
[7:46] housing piece of it. Um, because if
there's more taxpayers within the city,
[7:50] there's also more taxpayers within the
county. Um, so it would be in kind of
[7:54] their best interest to sell the land to
the city. Um, so we've been using that
[8:00] as kind of a bargaining chip with the
county also. Um, but again, yeah, not a
[8:05] for sure thing. they for folks that live
around the B school, it sounded like
[8:09] they had gotten some sort of notice that
it was going up for a public auction. Um
[8:13] sounded like a mistake that was a
mistake reaching out to them and we got
[8:16] that all figured out. So, it's not going
up for public auction. So, we're going
[8:20] to continue talking with them and
hopefully um figure out some sort of um
[8:24] way for the city just to purchase it
straight from the county rather than it
[8:27] going up for public auction and risk um
whoever buying it.
[8:33] I think they had has it been appraised?
>> I think they had it
[8:38] » at one point, but it's they're using the
estimated market value off the tax
[8:42] statement right now.
>> I think that's around 50 grand.
[8:46] » Um,
and there's different reserves and
[8:49] [snorts] things you can pull from to
purchase the land with that.
[8:55] » Yeah.
>> Question.
[8:56] » Yeah. Could you repeat the types of
housing in the area with a Methodist
[9:00] church?
>> Yes. Um so that would be R six. A
[9:04] Methodist church again R six. Um that
would be with a conditional use permit
[9:09] single family dwelling and then with
permitted by right that would include um
[9:13] town home dwelling uh a cluster
development and then multiple family
[9:17] dwelling. So that would be more of like
your apartment like um Kenwood
[9:22] Apartments or something like that. And
that would be more back in like kind of
[9:25] the woods kind of like with how um the
Kenwood apartments are kind of set up
[9:29] now where it's not like in the middle of
town. It would be more like in a wooded
[9:32] area. And in talking with those housing
folks um they kind of identified that as
[9:37] kind of being the best area for that
because there's different trails and
[9:40] things that would probably attract
developers from their experience. Um
[9:46] so yeah, that was in talking with them
their
[9:49] thoughts. Yeah. Any other questions or
comments regarding the resoning of
[9:56] either of those areas?
>> Has there been any plans for the area?
[10:00] » Um the city?
>> No. Um yeah, we've been talking with the
[10:07] county about purchasing it from them. I
haven't heard of any ideas of um any
[10:13] sort of development or anything at this
point. Um, and again, it's in the
[10:17] county's um, control and the hope would
be us getting it from them. Um, sounded
[10:23] like there was some concerns with like a
underground fuel tank from the school
[10:28] um, and it was some sort of
environmental MPCA type concern, but it
[10:32] sounded like it's not much of a concern
anymore because it was gelatinous or
[10:36] something or other.
>> Yeah, we don't know that 100% yet.
[10:39] That's Thursday's meeting. So, we're
hoping to to wait on that, too, because
[10:43] we don't want to get the land and then
it becomes this big environmental
[10:47] whatever because of this underground
fuel tank that um
[10:52] so yeah, I think us being in close
contact with the county is a good thing
[10:56] right now. So,
um but no, thank you for the question.
[11:01] Any other questions or comments for
resoning of either of those areas?
[11:06] » Yeah.
Heat
[11:21] up
[11:27] here.
[11:33] Heat.
[11:49] Heat.
[11:57] Heat.
[12:07] Heat.
[12:17] Heat.
[12:36] Heat.
[12:51] Heat.
[12:55] Heat.
[13:18] I guess that's the
[13:26] for something to for them to move into.
So that would be my hope. But yeah, I
[13:31] thank you for yeah, bringing that up.
[13:36] Um, and then um I'll ask one last time.
Is there any other comments or questions
[13:41] for that ordinance?
[13:45] Hearing none. Um, we'll move on to
adjournment. So, is there a motion for
[13:49] adjournment?
>> Some move.
[13:50] » Motion from councelor Jarla. Is there a
second?
[13:53] » A second.
>> Second from councelor Grahams. All those
[13:55] in favor? I.
>> Any opposed?
[13:58] » Hearing none. Motion carried.
>> [clears throat]
[14:06] » All right. So, we will go back to our
regular city council meeting. Um, and
[14:11] thank you for everybody that had
comments and questions. So, uh, moving
[14:15] along, uh, the consent agenda. Has
everybody had a chance to read through
[14:19] that? Any comments or questions for
anything in there?
[14:24] » Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to
approve the consent agenda as presented.
[14:28] » So, move. Motion from councelor Jarpa.
Is there a second?
[14:31] » A second.
>> Second from councelor Ecman. All those
[14:33] in favor?
>> I.
[14:35] » Any opposed?
>> Hearing none. Motion carried. Um, so
[14:39] moving on to the guests and citizens
forum. Is there anybody that wishes to
[14:43] say anything?
Yep. Good.
[15:06] The device pictured in your image is
actually not a bicotta camera, but
[15:12] rather a black security automated
license reader camera. While both
[15:18] companies make security and surveillance
equipment used by organizations and law
[15:24] enforcement, this specificated
black enclosure with the distinct
[15:31] rounded protective top visor is the
signature hardware design for block
[15:37] safety cameras. They are commonly
mounted on roadside utility poles to
[15:44] track license plates and vehicle
characteristics.
[15:48] This was the response I got from Google
when I sent them a close-up picture of
[15:55] the camera on that pole. Mind you, that
camera is public property in public. So,
[16:03] as long as I'm not doing anything
illegal, like trying to scale the pole
[16:10] or interfere with the camera, I was
completely within my rights to inspect
[16:15] that camera as closely as I could from
the ground.
[16:20] » Mhm. Okay.
See here.
[16:26] Okay. Moving on. I asked the follow-up
question.
[16:31] What model of flock camera is this? This
device is the Flock Safety Falcon
[16:39] automated license plate reader. The
Falcon is Flex
[16:44] Flux Safety's flagship infrastructural
camera model. It features a distinct
[16:51] aerodynamic
matte black protective enclosure with an
[16:56] integrated upper sunshield overhang. It
is widely deployed across public
[17:04] infrastructure and light poles to log
vehicle characteristics,
[17:09] color and license plate information for
law enforcement and private and private
[17:16] security systems.
Key features: vehicle fingerprint
[17:22] technology captures details like the
vehicle make, model, type, color,
[17:28] license plate, full, partial or missing,
and unique identifiers such as bumper
[17:33] stickers or aftermarket modifications.
Infrastructure free. operate them.
[17:40] Builtin batteries charged by an attached
solar panel utilizing a cellular LTE
[17:48] connection
to transmit data without needing
[17:53] hardwired power or bulky live video
stream.
[17:58] This explains
the solar panel and the antennas
[18:03] that were moved up
higher on that pole. And in the case of
[18:09] the solar panel around the back in
feeble attempts to hide them.
[18:15] And now councelor Jarbulla since last
month you were the one who specifically
[18:22] told me the camera on that pole is a
cotta camera. Now I specifically ask you
[18:30] what series of bracotta camera is that
that you just boxed that design on that
[18:37] pole.
>> I'll refer you to the chief of police.
[18:41] He's got that information.
>> That's a remote series CR63.
[18:46] » And I took a picture off their website.
It looks exactly like that one out
[18:50] there. So I printed a few things off cuz
I figured us saying things last time
[18:54] wasn't enough for you. Um, so I printed
off our our invoices and they're
[18:59] entitled to the Vicotta system.
>> Now I ask the the followup question.
[19:06] Does bracata meet any cameras that use
black signature housing design? No.
[19:14] Ricarda does not make any camera that
use this black safety signature
[19:21] rectangular roadside housing design.
there's anybody that wants to look at
[19:26] the picture of it. Printed it off
straight from there.
[19:30] » Standard commercial security form
factors primarily cylindrical bullet
[19:36] cameras
>> such as the CB53 and CB62
[19:40] [clears throat]
series and dome housing
[19:46] which mount to walls, ceilings, poles
using traditional mounting brackets.
[19:51] Lock signature housing is a distinct
purpose
[19:57] built wedge shaped square box often
paired with an angled solar panel
[20:05] designed specifically for standalone
remote side roadside pole mounting.
[20:14] Now also today
I went down and I looked at the known
[20:20] flaw camera on the intersection of 4 and
16.
[20:26] What did I find?
A camera that looks exactly like that
[20:32] camera with the only difference being
that it's on a smaller pole.
[20:38] So if you continue to maintain that that
is a picata camera
[20:44] » Mhm.
>> I offer you both the challenge and an
[20:48] opportunity [clears throat] prove it
allow a public inspection of the camera
[20:55] and that does not require anything to be
disconnected. All it requires is someone
[21:02] to be down there with the ladder. And
you can even require that people sign a
[21:08] liability waiver
before climbing up that ladder. And that
[21:13] would be smart because that actually
would be in the best interest of that of
[21:20] the city. Now, if you did that and I
went up there and I inspect that camera
[21:27] closely and I don't find what I'm
looking for, I will be the first one to
[21:33] come back here and publicly admit to you
that I was wrong. Thank you.
[21:41] » Um, yeah, we'll see what we can do. And
then I also printed off our our minutes
[21:45] from the meeting when we talked about
that camera. And
[21:50] » in the minutes, I'm I'm just going to
finish quick and then you can go.
[21:53] » Um, and within those minutes, it was a
motion and a support to approve Ricotta
[21:59] security camera proposal, not a um
flock. I mean, I printed off a few
[22:04] things like the invoice, the minutes, a
picture of the camera from the Vicotta
[22:08] website. Um, we can see what we can do
about that. I don't know if
[22:12] [clears throat] that's something that
the city can facilitate. Um, but I mean
[22:17] it's not a flat camera, but go ahead
with what you were saying.
[22:20] » Do you mind if I approach briefly to
look at the
[22:24] » Yeah, you can.
>> Thank you.
[22:27] » Yeah.
[22:34] And it printed kind of odd. I don't know
why, but
[22:40] and that's all I could find just being a
a lay person. I'm not a cop or anything,
[22:46] but
>> Okay, I must yield that that looks very
[22:51] similar.
I cannot say it looks exact because as
[22:55] you just said
that is not the greatest print out which
[23:00] happens sometimes. I know and understand
that sometimes printers don't cooperate.
[23:07] Did you write down the number of the one
that well chief mentioned the number and
[23:13] be on the invoice of what we paid for
it? So you can personally go online and
[23:17] look at the bicotta camera pictures and
compare it to the flock camera.
[23:25] It it I mean if you can take that number
and look online and compare the photo
[23:30] online for that specific camera to the
flock camera,
[23:35] » it might help you. Can you look up that
again?
[23:38] » Yeah. And if you want to visit me during
office hours and go on my laptop, we can
[23:43] look at it to together. So we're not
>> CR 63E.
[23:50] Okay, I will
[23:56] » quick Google search if you want to see
them on here too.
[23:58] » I will I will look that up for myself.
>> Mhm. And also
[24:05] I I do ask for a public inspection of
that camera.
[24:10] And if it turns out that I am wrong, I
am man enough to admit it.
[24:16] » And I will be the first one to come back
here and publicly admit that I was
[24:22] wrong.
And that would also mean if I'm wrong, I
[24:27] will remove the signs in my front yard
that I'm sure you've all noticed. Thank
[24:32] you. Yep. Um well, and know I'll I'll
talk with the um city attorney and law
[24:38] enforcement about it's facilitating
that. I don't want to say yes or no
[24:41] because I just don't know the answer.
>> I understand. Okay.
[24:44] » The liability, right?
>> Liability.
[24:46] » All right. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Question for Dean.
[24:50] » Is this something we could possibly have
public works have somebody go up with a
[24:55] bucket truck, take a picture of the
camera, and provide it to?
[24:59] I mean, it it's the liability of having
giving him a ladder and saying that we
[25:05] can't we can't take that on. But if we
could have public works go with a bucket
[25:09] and go up there and take a picture of
that camera and then show it to him,
[25:14] that would probably solve the situation.
I would hope. Councelor Jarba,
[25:19] that is why I mentioned requiring people
to sign a liability waiver climbing the
[25:28] » the liability. It wouldn't work. They
could still send the city. There's the
[25:33] liability would be too great on the
city's part to have a citizen climb a
[25:36] ladder and go up on a pole.
>> Well, I am not an attorney and I have
[25:43] admittedly no legal knowledge, so I
cannot challenge that. But I'll I'll
[25:47] make sure to follow up with them and if
they say, "Yeah, we can do it," then
[25:50] we'd look at some facilitating
something. And if we [clears throat]
[25:53] can't, then I would just let you know.
Um, but again, we're not trying to hide
[25:56] anything, I can understand. Not kind of
wanting you want to see it for your your
[26:00] own eyes. I can understand that.
>> Um, so we'll try to facilitate something
[26:04] and if we can't, I'm sorry, but we'll
we'll follow up.
[26:08] » Okay. Thank you for listening.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
[26:13] Um, all right. Any other uh guests or
citizens citizens that wish to say
[26:18] anything?
Hearing nothing, we will move on. Uh
[26:23] reports from staff. Uh city
administrator Wyberg, anything from you
[26:26] tonight?
>> Uh nothing from me tonight.
[26:29] » All right. Uh just about everyone's here
for budgeting. So, uh library director
[26:35] Lambie, anything from you tonight?
[26:41] » All right. Uh September is library card
signup month and we encourage everyone
[26:46] in White Lakes to get a card. It's free.
There's no age limit and you gain access
[26:51] to thousands of items you can take home,
use, return, and not spend a dime on.
[26:57] Theater Thursday starts again this week
at 1:00. We'll be showing solo meal.
[27:04] This Saturday we are open from 10 to 12
uh 10 to 2 and we'll be open Saturdays
[27:10] now until the end of May.
Thursday on September 17th we are
[27:15] hosting a Medicare Education
Conversation sponsored by Northridge
[27:20] Community Credit Union at 11:30. And on
September 19th from 10:30 to 1:30 we are
[27:27] celebrating Minnesota Libraries Read
Together. Come on down in pajamas or
[27:32] loungewear. Bring a stuffed animal or
blanket if you like and read with us.
[27:37] Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you. Uh moving on to
[27:40] public works director Snetzinger.
[27:46] » Yeah, just a couple things. Uh letting
everybody know the campground will be
[27:50] closing Sunday the 20th for normal
season camping. Uh offseason camping
[27:55] will be available uh after that. Um, I
haven't spoke to the campground managers
[28:01] yet to see how long they'll be staying
on site. You know, they normally stick
[28:05] around for a couple weeks after the wrap
up their work for the season, so there
[28:10] may still be some people down there. Um,
at public works, we'll be doing some
[28:15] valve repairs in the streets. Uh, uh,
public utilities hired a company called
[28:20] JR Wastewater to go through and, uh,
clean and operate all the valves in
[28:26] town. They came across five
uh valves that are inoperable right now.
[28:31] So, we want them operating going into
winter season. So, there's one that we
[28:36] think we can repair from above ground
and four that we're going to have to do.
[28:41] So, just uh in the next week or so, you
can see road closer overhead
[28:46] [clears throat]
for that.
[28:49] We'll have some intersections done, but
uh we'd like to get it done and in time
[28:54] to Blackhawk this season. Uh and that
being said, we wrapped up a bunch of
[29:00] Blackhawk repairs around town. If you
noticed, uh some of the streets that had
[29:04] previous main brakes that have sunk
over, you know, many years. Uh we milled
[29:10] them up and re black off them, trying to
get those areas uh smoothed back out.
[29:16] » That's it for tonight.
>> All right. Thank you.
[29:20] Uh EMS director Mstead
[29:25] » the computer's going off and we're
trying to answer.
[29:28] » Okay.
Uh ERPD chief close. Anything you need
[29:33] tonight?
>> Here to address any of the camera
[29:37] questions which again they are through
town. They are not licensed play
[29:42] tracking. They don't know who's driving
the vehicle. Um,
[29:47] like you said, we're happy to answer any
questions about that.
[29:52] Um,
>> all right. Sounds good. Thank you for
[29:56] Yeah. providing that clarification. Um,
assistant fire chief ecman, anything
[30:01] from you tonight?
>> Fire calls for August. Um, three and two
[30:08] calls, one fire, an iPhone crash, and
another one out. Um
[30:16] and to the smoke alarm
and gas.
[30:23] » Sounds good. Thank you. Moving along to
city attorney Lewiki. Anything for you
[30:28] tonight?
>> Uh thanks, Mayor. Nothing tonight.
[30:30] » Sounds good. Thank you. All right,
moving on to reports from elected
[30:34] officials. Starting with councelor
Grahams.
[30:37] » Uh just an update for the chamber. We're
looking at hosting our annual uh haunted
[30:42] trail at the last weekend of October and
also doing a um Christmas lighting event
[30:48] where we can kids can make decorations
and we can walk over and light up the
[30:53] Christmas tree. We're collaborating with
Michelle at the library. Hoping we can
[30:57] combine some ideas and events and work
together on both of those to kind of
[31:02] draw more attendees and and promote it
more. That's all I got.
[31:07] » All right. Very cool. Thank you. Uh,
councelor Jarvala, anything from you
[31:10] tonight?
>> The planning and zoning meeting for next
[31:13] week is cancelled. They have nothing to
discuss. And Jill and I were at the uh,
[31:18] East Range public safety board meeting
tonight. The two big issues were the
[31:22] memor memorandum of understanding on the
school resource officer. It's going to
[31:28] be down to like an hour and a half a
day. So, they will be still paying the
[31:32] department for that. And they are also
promoting for a uh in-house position for
[31:38] another sergeant to replace Cody.
It's all I've got.
[31:42] » All right. Thanks for the update. Uh
councelor Matthysse, Councelor Ecman,
[31:47] don't want to forget her. I'll be in
trouble.
[31:50] » Thanks. Um the community garden is
looking pretty sad right [clears throat]
[31:54] now. Um I think there's a couple spots
open, so if anybody wants a spot, reach
[31:59] out to Dale White House. Um, we're
looking at doing a couple craft fairs
[32:03] this fall at the probably the arena. So,
if anybody wants to be a vendor, reach
[32:09] out. And that's about it.
>> All right. Sounds good. Thank you. Uh,
[32:13] councelor Matson, anything from you?
>> Nothing for me tonight.
[32:16] » Sounds good. Uh, on my end, I had
attended the Msabi East Youth Hockey
[32:20] Board meeting a couple weekends ago or
so. Um, they have a projected kind of
[32:24] lower number of volunteers this year, so
they won't be running the hockey hut or
[32:27] the concession stand this year. Um, so
it's kind of looking like the city will
[32:31] have to operate it this year. Um, but
just kind of moving forward kind of with
[32:35] budgeting. Um, the council will just
have to kind of discuss that more and
[32:38] talk about ideas. Um, if Bucky was here,
he would speak more to it and I've had
[32:43] conversations with him already and so
has Dean. So, um, there's that. Um, and
[32:47] then I was also informed that the 30-day
public comment period uh, opened up for
[32:52] one of uh, New Range Copper Nickels
permits. So, I'm working on a comment of
[32:56] support for that. Um and I'll be
submitting that to the Army Corps of
[33:00] Engineers um before Saturday which is um
when the all the public comments are
[33:04] due. So that's it for me on my end. Um
so moving ahead uh nothing for old
[33:12] business. We'll move right into new
business. Uh 10.1 resolution 202619
[33:18] authorizing the city of White Lakes to
make application to and accept funds
[33:22] from R26067168
[33:26] special projects uh TEFP. Um do you mind
speaking to this Dean?
[33:31] » Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't
[clears throat] put much detail in
[33:33] there, but that's for the Ranger Snow
Build Club. Um we're the fiscal agent or
[33:37] I'm the fiscal agent on it and we're
that is to put more funding to the CCC
[33:43] camp.
beach house or whatever. Um, so that's
[33:48] what that one's for.
>> Um, so yeah, we usually do resolutions
[33:55] uh to um yeah, accept funds or uh
complete applications for the triple R.
[34:01] Um, so this looks similar to kind of
ones we've [clears throat] done in the
[34:04] past. Um, yeah, it'll be nice when they
have all the um trail head and all the
[34:10] proposed um trail work that they're
talking about doing and work out there.
[34:15] So, that'll be cool. Um, any other
comments or questions for that
[34:19] resolution?
>> Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to
[34:24] um approve that resolution.
>> So, move.
[34:26] » Motion from councelor Jarva. Is there a
second?
[34:28] » I'll second.
>> Second from councelor Ecman. [laughter]
[34:30] All those in favor?
>> I.
[34:32] » Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion
carried. Moving on to 10.2, resolution
[34:37] 202618,
appointing election judges for the 2026
[34:42] general election. Um again, uh we do
this every election cycle. Um kind of
[34:50] approving these resolutions to uh
appoint folks to be um election judges.
[34:56] Um and looking through the names, a lot
of the the same people who have done it
[35:00] in previous years. So, thank you to all
of them for
[35:04] sticking with it. Um, anything to add,
Dean?
[35:07] » Uh, no. You already approved this once,
but we had to add some more people on
[35:11] here for election judges because we have
to staff it with two people all during
[35:16] all hours. Two election judges, I should
say.
[35:18] » Um, yeah, we had to add some
>> so more the primary,
[35:23] » Sherry, me, Michelle.
>> Oh, okay.
[35:26] » Um, I think that's the three additions.
So same list as the primary but now just
[35:33] adding those three is
>> yeah just just to cover the office.
[35:37] » So we have to have election two election
judges on in the office at all times
[35:41] during the election season which we
didn't before.
[35:46] » Sounds good. Um any other comments or
questions from anybody
[35:52] hearing none I will ask for a motion to
approve that resolution.
[35:56] » I'll make that motion. Motion from
councelor Grahams. Is there a second?
[35:59] » I'll second.
>> Second from councelor Ecman. All those
[36:01] in favor?
>> I. Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion
[36:05] carried. Uh and then moving into 10.3.
Um so this is has to do um with the
[36:12] public hearing. Um so this is 10.3
ordinance 249 amending the official
[36:17] zoning map of the city to reclassify
certain parcels to R5 and R six uh
[36:23] residential districts. Um, I kind of
spoke at length during the public
[36:28] hearing piece of it. Um, so I I don't
have much to add or anything to add.
[36:34] » No. No.
>> Anybody on the council have anything to
[36:38] add or any questions for for that
ordinance change or reszoning?
[36:46] Um yeah, we've had extensive discussions
either here or at um planning and zoning
[36:52] meetings kind of about this whole
process. Um so we'll have um we won't
[36:58] have another public
[37:18] for a second.
[37:36] second.
[37:44] We We'll have to do it after the
meeting.
[37:48] Yes. And citizens kind of end.
Yeah. We I don't want to
[37:59] meeting if you want.
[38:08] And then is there a second? Second

to Brent. Second Madison.
