[1:00] This time I will call the meeting of the City Council to order with the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance.
[1:07] To the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
[1:20] I'd like to welcome everyone here this evening. We do have an agenda before us. Are there any changes to that agenda? If not, we'll operate under that agenda. The first item then would be to consider the approval of the minutes of the meetings that were held on September 8th. The council does have the minutes.
[1:37] Are there any corrections? S3:
[1:39] Motion by Jim. Is there a second? Second, seconded by Craig. We'll move to a vote.
[1:49] And we'll close the voting.
[1:53] And the motion does pass. Agenda item number two is a public hearing on the assessment for unpaid services. So we will have the public hearing following the conclusion of the public hearing, will consider the resolution that would accept the special assessments for the unpaid services. I'll call on Steven Anderson, city clerk, to conduct this public hearing.
[2:16] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, as you said, this is a public hearing for unpaid services for mowing, snow removal and for fire call. Um, notices did go out to everyone on the resolution that is listed there. And I have not heard back from anyone on the list other than the property owner at 409 Genesis. She did come in yesterday and pay her fire call. So I would request that her assessment be removed from this resolution.
[2:47] Okay. Is there any, uh, input as part of the public hearing, either from the audience or from the council?
[2:58] You'll have to come up and use the microphone and introduce yourself.
[3:05] Hi. Larry McGrath. I'm just wondering from the council and the staff what what the procedure is after the the ordinance says 12 hours after the weather event is done.
[3:24] What's the procedure after that? I mean, is it a matter of warnings and reminders? S1:
[3:27] Yeah, mostly snow removal.
[3:32] Yes. Thank you. I think the it might be more than 12 hours in the ordinance. Is it 24 hours? Actually, maybe. And realistically we give property owners probably more time than that before we actually follow up on it. Um, there is no notice that's required for the snow and ice. You just need to have it moved in that period of time with the grass notices for mowing. You do get, I believe it's seven days to have it mowed before the city can initiate that.
[3:59] And typically it's initiated by complaints.
[4:03] Okay. Okay. Thank you.
[4:05] Yep. Any other input as part of the public hearing?
[4:11] I move we close the public hearing.
[4:13] Motion by Craig. Is there a second, second, second by Amanda. Discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[4:26] Maybe.
[4:33] Oh, there we go.
[4:40] We'll close the voting.
[4:47] And a motion does pass. We'll now consider the resolution that would accept the special assessments for the unpaid services.
[4:56] So move.
[4:57] Motion by Craig. Is there a second? Second. Seconded by John. Discussion. If there's no discussion, we'll move to a vote.
[5:11] Close the voting.
[5:21] And the motion does pass. Okay. We'll move then to the consent agenda. On the consent agenda will bring the items up on the screen. They include. Consider the approval of an amendment to the Personnel Policy manual. Appendix B, the maximum allowable reimbursement slash per diem rates. The introduction of the ordinance amending chapter 74, the traffic and vehicle sections, um and deleting several sections, and also the bills and the project payments is on the consent agenda. So is there any item on the consent agenda? Any member wants removed for separate discussion.
[6:00] Make a motion to approve.
[6:01] Second.
[6:02] Motion by Amanda. Seconded by Craig. Discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[6:14] And we'll close the voting.
[6:18] And the motion does pass. Move then to the first item of new business which is agenda item number six. Consider the amendments to the Plum Creek Library System Joint Powers Agreement. There's a number of changes that are more administrative in nature. And I'll ask Michelle to who's the director of the Marshall County Library, to come up and go through those changes.
[6:48] I'm just standing in for Elizabeth Hoffman at Plum Creek. She was unable to be here, but she did write up what the changes are. The major one that impacts us the most that we're excited about is, is how they can appoint people to the board. And it used to be that it had to be a commissioner and somebody from the library board in each of those counties. But we've had many empty seats. They haven't had board members who have been able to commit to the board. So it opens it up, and I believe it allows for a a patron, somebody in the community to to do that. If they cannot get somebody from the board, which means that they're now going to operate with full board, which is to their advantage.
[7:32] Right. And they also clarified the membership. There's the Pipestone school system is no longer a member.
[7:38] Right. They decided to go separate ways maybe three years ago. So we needed to clean up that language.
[7:45] Okay. Are there any questions for Michelle?
[7:49] If not, um, is there a motion to approve the amendments to the Plum Creek Library System Joint Powers Agreement?
[7:56] I so move.
[7:57] Motion by Craig. Seconded by. See discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[8:09] We'll close the voting.
[8:13] And the motion does pass. Thank you. Michelle.
[8:15] Thanks. Thanks, Michelle.
[8:17] Agenda item number seven. The. Consider the approval of the 2026 2027 property and casualty insurance. I'll call on Carla Brown to present this agenda item.
[8:29] Thank you. Mayor. The annual renewal coverage is for the city Mo. And Marshall Lyon County Library, and it's for the coverage period of October 1st of 26 through October 1st of 2027. Currently, Marshall carries insurance for property casualty from the League of Minnesota Cities. The equipment breakdown is through Hartford Steam and the liquor liability is through Illinois casualty insurance premiums in total are increasing by 8% this year. For 2026, the league's 2026 property casualty rates are updated and released every November. Therefore, we are on the 2026 rates because we are renewing prior to their new release um for 2026, the rate changes were the physical damage. The auto physical damage was a 10% increase. The excessive liability excess liability was 4% increase and property, they saw a 5% decrease except for the electric utility property, which they saw a 10% increase, and that would affect MSU. So our property premiums actually saw a 6.5% increase, and that was due to decommissioning our old aquatic center, but also bringing the splash online. So because of our new property being, um, more expensive, new, brand new. So we saw an increase for the coverage there. Also, the electric utility property rate also increased due to their um new. Looking at how they um cover that. So our current 2027 budget insurance is currently light for the insurance anticipated to increase again in 2027 for the renewal. So we will have to look at that as well.
[10:19] Any questions? S1:
[10:32] I don't believe that's online yet.
[10:35] But the building would have been.
[10:36] Yes, the building is online. So. And then um the league also. So they the electric utility property saw a 10% increase. So um it also increased besides the new building coming on. So.
[10:49] Right. I think it's also important to note, as you're talking about the utilities, this covers all city operations, the Mu wastewater, the other enterprise funds too, as well as general city government.
[11:04] Yes.
[11:05] Questions for Karla.
[11:06] Yeah. So how does this break out then? Because it does cover things in the enterprise fund. This isn't necessarily a direct impact of that increase to the budget. Right.
[11:25] I mean, is it broke out by the different divisions so that we can feather that off a little bit to the enterprise funds and not all to the general levy? S11:
[11:46] Thank you.
[11:47] Any other questions?
[11:55] Do you need to say anything to the insurance rep? Or you don't have.
[11:58] To expand if you'd like me to.
[12:01] Pardon me.
[12:03] I'd be happy to expand on anything.
[12:04] Go ahead. It didn't come forward.
[12:15] Yeah. My name is Joe Larson. I'm with North Risk Partners. Um, just a couple other things I wanted to call out. Total insured value for total property is up 20 million. So a couple factors there. Inflation factor. So they increase the values to the existing buildings to keep up with replacement costs. So 4% on the buildings 1% on contents. Just under 5% on property in the open. And then 2% on the mobile property. So between adding the splash and then the inflation factors that also increase the TIV. Um, a couple other things you'll note on the municipal liability. It's up 14,000. Um mainly because average expenditures were up 7 million and then the eight and a half increased um employees. So it wasn't a huge rate changes. It was exposures on the liability side.
[13:15] Um any other questions. No. Okay.
[13:21] If not, you know, and just to clarify, northwest management is the agent of record for the insurance our insurance policies.
[13:30] Correct?
[13:32] Okay. Thank you. Joel.
[13:33] Thank you. Thanks.
[13:34] Any other questions the council has. If not, I'd entertain a motion on the renewal of the insurance.
[13:41] I move approval.
[13:43] Motion by Craig. Seconded by Amanda. Discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[13:55] We'll close the voting.
[13:59] And a motion does pass. Oh, move then to agenda item number eight. Consider the resolution adopting a preliminary 2027 property tax levy. As the council is well aware, you've had numerous budget workshops, and we are required by state statute to adopt the preliminary levy by the end of September. I'll call on EJ Moberg then to present the preliminary levy recommendation.
[14:29] Thank you. Um, so I just want to note that, again, the budget is one of the most important responsibilities we undertake. Um, it's also understandably one of the most discussed and debated matters each year, balancing community expectations, service levels, organizational needs, and financial reality. Realities requires thoughtful consideration, collaboration, and shared commitment to decisions that serve the long term interests of our residents. Differing perspectives are natural and valuable part of the process. The budget process requires difficult choices, thoughtful prioritization, and a willingness to consider new ways of delivering services to meet community needs. The largest factors of our 9.59% proposed increase, our personnel costs and the 2026 bond issuance personnel costs discussed as part of the levy relate to the General Fund and EDA fund. Our personnel costs related to enterprise funds are supported by revenues in those funds and are not part of the tax levy because they're not paid for by property taxes. Our increase in personnel costs are projected at about 8.6% of what last year's levy was. Of that, 1% is is due to a request for a full time employee at parks and the remainder is increases in salaries, wages, benefits and insurance across across the general and EDA funds. A large impact for us is expected increase in in health insurance costs and the impact of debt service, net of changes in payments for all issuances, is almost 2.1% of last year's levy. So combined between just the personnel and the debt issuance, we're at about 10.7% up from what last year's levy was. But again, we're only asking for preliminarily asking for a 9.59% increase because some of our operating costs were down from 26 to what we're proposing for 27. We will continue to work on this before the. The final levy would be set by council in December, and we are required to set a truth and taxation, truth and taxation meeting, which is also. As part of this resolution, which is proposed for December 8th, The tentative tax capacity increases around 6.3%. So hopefully the 9.59 that we hopefully will be able to work down as we go won't have as big of a burden as others when when we've had some significant growth in the.
[17:02] And to reinforce that last statement, you made the 6.6 6.3%, um, tax capacity increase. That's new property values that are coming online that are contributing.
[17:14] I mean, for new properties as well as just the valuation increases the like.
[17:20] Okay.
[17:22] Anything else? S3:
[17:23] Okay. Uh, questions the council has or input. Sharon.
[17:29] Oh go ahead.
[17:31] Um, thank you EJ for your work and Carlos work on putting this together. Um, and staff of course, just want to mention just a little bit on timeline. Um, we got together a staff on June 17th. That's when it started. And we talked about minimal spending. And, uh, as evidenced by EJ's, uh, talking points there. Uh, majority of this is health insurance and payroll costs and some bonding, very little other additional expenditures. Most of it has remained flat. Um, we are exploring options for that park staff, uh, position that that has been added. Uh, we're hoping we can do it with existing staff and maybe some additional temporary, uh, part time staff to help with the budget. Uh, we still have to figure out the library funding, which we know that the council has set their wishes for this. Um, but what does that look like in 2027? Uh, those are some discussions that are still going to occur And I will also want to remark that we did start initially at 22%. So there has been work bringing it down. And um, we understand on the budget calendar, we'll be meeting again with council to talk about additional options. So I just wanted to add those points, Mr. Mayor.
[19:01] Any other input?
[19:03] Well, I was just going to add that um 9.59. Like Sharon said, it doesn't look horrible. But we have to remember last year between the staff and the council from when our preliminary levy was nine point something and we actually ended up with a six, not saying we'll get there because we don't have health insurance, but 6.5 last year, wasn't it 659659? We started our preliminary was like 9.9. AM I correct in saying that? I know we're lower. We were lower. So I mean the staff will continue to work on this. And and I think that's a good thing. We just don't know where our health insurance is right now. I mean that may hopefully come in lower, but I wouldn't hold your breath out there.
[19:44] Other input.
[19:46] I just want to echo the thank you to staff for all the work they've put into this and really appreciate it. Excuse me. Year after year, we kind of go through this whole thing and, and, uh, we're blessed to have the staff that we have that perform the work they do and still stay pretty mindful of the money, I think, for how the community of the city operates and, and manages, you know, is it a do we spend money? Absolutely we do, but we get a lot of quality for it too. And I really appreciate the staff putting the work in to try to keep the budget as tight as we do.
[20:22] Other input. If not, you have the the recommendation. Is there a motion for the resolution adopting the preliminary 2027 property tax levy?
[20:34] I move the resolution to set the. The levy at 0.59.
[20:40] Second motion by Craig. Seconded by John. Discussion.
[20:46] If not, we'll move to a vote.
[20:53] And we'll close the voting.
[20:59] Motion does pass. Agenda item number nine. Consider the appointments to various boards and commissions. The. Earlier this evening, the Council met in special session. Interviewed applicant for the Public Housing Commission. Based on that interview, I would recommend that Cliff Carmody be appointed to a partial term that will expire May 31st, 2028, and this will also replace the interim membership on the board of John Alcorn, who will return to his role as liaison to Public Housing Commission. So I'd offer that as a recommendation to entertain a motion to affirm. So moved by John, seconded by Amanda. Discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[21:55] And we'll close the voting.
[22:01] And motion does pass with one abstention. We'll move then to commission board liaison reports. Craig.
[22:09] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Airport commission did meet last week on Tuesday and discussed a number of items. Um, we did review the T hangar rates and equipment rental rates and that'll be going back to the, uh.
[22:27] Can't even think of it now that our committee for. Yes. Ways and means to to approve those or to finish those out. Uh, we also discussed the fuel system improvement project and where that's at. Um, the snow equipment, uh, snow removal equipment. And then also the proposal for professional architecture and engineering services for the aircraft fueling facility with Tcda. And I know that that's going to be coming back from staff to council here with the grant approvals from, uh, MnDOT aviation to complete that process out. Um, and there was no, uh, no updates, no concerns or anything that came from our tenants. So the people out there are happy. I think we're still waiting to do the FBO agreement. We're still waiting for Midwest Aviation to actually sign the final agreement for FBO piece. And, um, I know Jason reminds him quite frequently that that that's due yet. So we've got the agreement in place, but it isn't is it isn't signed as of this time. So that's all I have, Mr. Mayor.
[23:37] Okay. Amanda.
[23:39] I was unable to attend.
[23:42] The, uh, from my my part, the Southwest Regional Development had their monthly meeting in, uh, in Westbrook. The feature presentation was the draft presentation of the Comprehensive Park plan for the City of Marshall. Um, and really focused on the process and community input part of that plan. I believe that plan will be presented at a work session upcoming.
[24:04] Yes.
[24:05] John.
[24:06] I did make the EDA and we had a, we had a good meeting. Um, they received notice that tapestry project has moved into the next round of scoring with Minnesota housing. So that's, that's encouraging. Um, and then, um, work continues with the Hampton Hotel with a potential for construction to begin still this fall. So very good. They're pretty excited about the progress that that's making. Also Could.
[24:35] See.
[24:36] Um, yes. So CVB met, uh, Convention and Visitors Bureau, um, the Arts and Living History Festival is this Saturday. Um, Craig, are you doing.
[24:45] I am.
[24:46] Okay. Can you want to explain what you're doing?
[24:49] Yeah. And I believe I'm scheduled for 11:00, but I, uh, um, I'll be doing, um, tours or speaking about Memorial Park, primarily the nine over 11 park, but we'll also speak to the veterans Memorial phase three. Um, last year when we did this, it says 11 but I usually get there about ten and I'll stay as long as there's people there. It's, you know, it's not like I hate being in that place. So even if it's raining, I'll hang out there. So anybody that's interested, um, last year the attendance was pretty good, but not great. But it's a good event. I think people should just come there. If nothing else, it's a great place to have a snack, have a coffee and just hang out and be with people. It's a good community piece. And, um, you know, I appreciated going out to the welcoming night. I was there for that. And then also, um, he goes with our, uh, national night out. I just think that all that time that we can spend as a community together is, is good. So thanks, Steve for including me in that comment. Appreciate it.
[25:52] Absolutely. Yeah. And then we approved quite a few community tourism grants. And then we just had, um, Prairie Jam on Saturday. Saturday. Thank you. In the VIP section. Thank you. That's how you remember I didn't um, we had Prairie Jam on Saturday. Uh, we took a break last year to kind of reevaluate the concert. And so I think it had pretty good turnout. Um, and then, yeah, um, mark your calendars in March, they're bringing back the, um, what is it? Murder mystery dinner. And it is, um, I love the 80s to death. So get your 80s outfit out and we'll look forward to that in March. Yeah.
[26:32] Jim. Be careful. Make sure that it's public appropriate.
[26:37] Um, Moo is going to be tomorrow night. They had a conflict last Wednesday and then the bandshell committee met last Wednesday. Um, we came up there drawing up conceptual. The committee kind of settled on one, uh, drawing. And they're going to do conceptual for the city to see. And that's moving forward nicely. Um, other than that, I have nothing. And hopefully when we get those conceptual, obviously we'll let the public see them all.
[27:02] So very good. We'll move then to council member individual items. Jim.
[27:07] Um, I just want to reiterate what Steve said. The Prairie Jam was a lot of fun. I know our greatest discussion was, was the lead singer really a blond or brunet? Because her hair colors changed in the middle of the concert. But it's one of those, and I see that the splash is closed too. And a lot of times we hear that, well, there's not a lot to do in Marshall. And I was like, there is if you actually look. I mean, there was several things going on Saturday between Pursuit and Prairie Jam. And we've had the splash open for kids to run around on. And if you take a little bit of effort and pull up Marshall's Facebook City Marshall's Facebook page, there's a lot going on in the city. Marshall. And like Craig said, it's great seeing the community come out when they do and it's a lot of fun.
[27:48] Um, Craig had brought up Welcoming Week events, so we had that last week. So thank you to all the council members and mayor that were able to come and hand out popsicles, even though it was, we weren't sure what was going to happen because the weather decided to open up and rain all day, but it stopped right before. So, um, even though the weather wasn't as nice as previous years, we still had probably half of a little over half than what we normally had. Um, so it was a really great event to, um, create belonging and welcoming in our community. And we had college students, we had kids, we had parents. So it was a lot of fun. So thank you for everybody that was there helping out.
[28:26] Did we get rid of all the popsicles? That was my goal.
[28:29] Um.
[28:29] Vanessa has me go pick some more up because there were some that were still left in the cooler. So I'll bring some for next time for all of you.
[28:36] We were way down less than 20. I know that water now.
[28:38] No liquid?
[28:39] No, they're in the freezer.
[28:40] Oh.
[28:41] Well. Good. That was our goal. To get rid of popsicles.
[28:43] Yep.
[28:44] Good job.
[28:45] Uh, we two went to, uh, Prairie Jam, and I 90% sure she's a blond. Um, she was, she was portraying Shania Twain, which wasn't, isn't a blond. And so I think she was wearing a wig, too. Very good, very good show.
[29:02] Very good.
[29:03] Show. Real impressed. Um, I did receive a note from a constituent about our, um, bike trail, the North Loop, which is, um, near the university. Um, the number of, of cracks and crevices and the, the general roughness of it. And I pass it on to our city staff who immediately responded to me, I sent it um one night at about 10:00, and I got a call at 8:00 the next morning. So I appreciate that Jason. And I was able to pass on to him that, um, there are some projects upcoming. Um, the one specifically for that is 29 will be, will be getting resurfaced, um, some grants that we've qualified for. So, um, we do, uh, we do a lot of work on those, um, on those bike paths and they, you know, they, their, their life isn't unlimited. So, um, but the city staff has done very well on staying ahead of that and getting grants and keeping our cost of it at a minimal. And so I was able to pass that on to the constituent, and he was very happy to receive that information. Thank you. Jason.
[30:20] Craig. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um, the only thing that I have is, is, um, we're getting into fall now, and I just want to remind homeowners that when you have vegetation and stuff along, especially along the sidewalks and the right of ways before snowfall and kind of, you know, we're getting back up, I see a lot more pedestrian traffic, a lot more walking and things in the neighborhood. Um, keep those sidewalks, your hedges, clear from the sidewalk. There's some in parts of town that I've been to where the almost the entire sidewalk is obstructed, that you have to walk on the grass because the hedges have overgrown. So take care of those. Get it trimmed up. And and, you know, we're going to have to hate to say this. Start getting ready for winter. I know that's not a four letter word though. It's winter. It's not snow.
[31:05] It's five.
[31:06] I know it's winter. That's all I have. Thank you.
[31:10] Amanda.
[31:11] I've got nothing.
[31:14] Um, I follow up on just a couple of things. Uh. Thank you. Uh, to the diversity, equity and Inclusion Committee for their work on Welcoming week. That was a very nice week event. So following up on the on the trail discussion, the um, we've been fortunate the um to take advantage or be the recipient of both transportation alternatives, which is federal dollars that have paid for 80% of the trail construction and active transportation. The, which is state funding that has paid for 20% of of the trail discussion. We're always, you know, uh, need to really be thinking in the future. So which actually leads me then to report on I, the district appointee on the statewide active Transportation Advisory Committee where that 20% comes from. We did have our statewide meeting this past Thursday in Lake City. And again, we've been fortunate to receive that 20% funding there.
[32:28] And then the ATP, which Jason attends, and you will now be the engineer rep on ATP, is that correct? S6:
[32:30] Yes. So so Jason will be the, uh, the engineer and that's a rotating. And then I serve as the Southwest Regional Development Commission rep on the Area Transportation Partnership or ATP. And I also serve as chair of that group. That's the group that we've received the 80% funding from. So in addition to that, and that would be for reconstruction resurfacing. But I know last year, the city staffer was that two years ago did crack sealing out there. And we do have the equipment to do crack sealing. So it's a temporary, um, um, approach on repair. It's not a permanent, um, but again, the, our staff, our street department has done work on that. You might want to follow up on that with in your, your discussion later the with that we'll move along then to, uh, staff reports. Sharon.
[33:25] Yeah. I'll be very brief. Uh, staff have been looking at agreements that need renewal before the end of the year for 27 and maybe 28. Uh, so they'll be coming forward sometime here shortly. So that's all I had for my report.
[33:41] And Jason.
[33:42] Just throw a quick shout out for things to do in the community. Smsu volleyball was in town last weekend too, and they got a very quality team. So those are always fun to take in. Um, crack sealing. Yeah. You're correct. And Council member Alcorn and I did discuss that with his request to you that we did put it's probably 2 or 3 years ago, as you suggested, mayor, we put some effort into crack sealing on that north loop as well as some other areas. And, um, it helps prolong the life, but it doesn't take out all the bumps. So just trying to get it along until we can get the grant dollars into use. Um, right before the meeting, I did total up, you know, going from the 2026 finishing C Street Trail through 2030, we've got seven different trail grant projects totaling just under 2.9 million in grant dollars that we'll be deploying into the community. So it's a good thing to keep in mind, as you're having conversations that we are trying to bring those dollars in, and we've been pretty successful with the to the grant programs, as you suggested, mayor. Um, just probably point out that tomorrow the intersection of High Street and Fourth will be closed. They'll be paving that back, um, paving the high street project as well as that intersection. So residents can go around that intersection using walnut. And third, hopefully by the end of the day, we get that open back up. Um, we'll have a Preconstruction meeting on Thursday for the Legion field phase three pond improvements. So we'll learn a little more about the intended schedule there. Uh, we are quite certain that we won't be doing any boring under the railroad or any work in the railroad right of way this year. That will likely be next year, but we'll get the pond hopefully dug this year and the outlet put in. Um, so that'll be a good start to that project. Also a grant funded project with $867,000 in Mpca resiliency funds. Um, one other project that should start before we next meet in October is the Corps of Engineers levee repair project. That could be started before our next council meeting. Their current schedule shows the first week of October. So we'll try to keep people informed when that bike trail closes out by Victory Park. That's all I've got.
[35:54] Okay. Any questions for Jason Craig?
[35:56] Jason just thought of this. Um. Block 11, the big boulders.
[36:03] What's that all about? S6:
[36:38] Is this is this to deal with that project that we kind of looked at a few years ago to try and help with, um, with a.
[36:44] This is the project that was severely eroding.
[36:47] Eroding? Yeah. We're the backyard landowners were working really hard to try to. Perfect. Good. Glad to hear that.
[36:53] Thank you. Um, and for the council's reference, um, you know, the city will be allowing use of Liberty Park to access that site. So they've been communicating with Preston and they'll work to clean up after themselves.
[37:06] Good, good. Very good. Thank you.
[37:08] I think the general contractor on that project is D and G construction.
[37:11] Yeah. Good.
[37:13] Okay. Anything else? Any other questions for Jason? If not, um. City Attorney Zach.
[37:23] Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Nothing to add.
[37:25] Okay. With that, we'll move on to the remaining items on our agenda the listing of cash and investments, our public Housing Commission minutes, our listing of building permits, and our listing of upcoming meetings.
[37:42] With that, is there anything else to come forward at this meeting this evening? S7:
[37:43] Second motion by Craig, seconded by Jim to adjourn discussion. If not, we'll move to a vote.
[37:54] And we'll close the voting.
[37:58] And the motion does pass. We are adjourned.
