[5:59] Honorable mayor, honorable members of
the council, I'd like to come to you
[6:03] today to present you with a complaint.
[6:08] Councilwoman Councilwoman Graner
did
[6:12] at the Greater Met- Middleton Parks and
Recreation District did make spurless,
[6:17] and inflammatory,
and repeated
[6:22] comments against me and my family.
This was done in an attempt to damage my
[6:28] reputation
and my family financially.
[6:37] You were Well, you said you were doing
this as a private citizen and not a
[6:41] member of the council.
You must remember, you're always a
[6:44] member of the council.
[6:52] The problem is that you
repeatedly and loudly wanted them to
[6:58] give it to anyone but me.
This being the concession stand at Foot
[7:04] Park.
[7:08] All of this is recorded just as it is
here because of the public meeting, and
[7:11] I urge the council, if they wish to, to
look into it.
[7:17] Councilwoman Graner, you not only opened
yourself up to liability,
[7:22] and the city of Middleton's liability,
but you were at the time an employee of
[7:28] the Greater
Middleton Parks and Recreation District,
[7:32] and left your job solely from your job
at the city solely to make these
[7:38] inflammatory remarks about me.
[7:44] Now, I love this city.
I have donated over 40 years of my life
[7:49] doing different things for the city
and volunteered
[7:54] and helped in any way that I could for
this city.
[8:03] I leave this to the mayor and the city
council to deal with as they wish.
[8:09] And my church, where I attend with my
wife every Sunday, we do the Lord's
[8:15] Prayer.
And in the Lord's Prayer,
[8:22] we said we ask the Lord to forgive us
our trespasses as we forgive those who
[8:27] trespass against us.
Council member Grinde,
[8:34] I forgive you.
[8:41] Questions?
>> Not at this time. Thank you very much.
[8:48] All right.
Uh we'll move on to uh
[8:53] our first action item
uh
[8:56] which is to approve the consent agenda
items of routine administrative
[9:01] business. Mr. Waldman.
>> Council, any question on the consent
[9:04] agenda?
>> No.
[9:07] » None here.
>> Hearing none, I move
[9:09] we approve the consent agenda items A,
B, and C.
[9:12] » Second.
>> Moved by myself, seconded by Council
[9:15] member Grinde. All those in favor?
>> Aye.
[9:17] » Aye.
>> Those opposed?
[9:19] Hearing none, motion is unanimous.
>> All right.
[9:25] Then we'll move on to item number two,
which is considering considering
[9:29] authorizing the mayor to sign a letter
of intent between the City of Minot and
[9:33] Knife River Corporation regarding the
anticipated upcoming amended contract
[9:40] for the gavel pit gavel pit gravel pit
project. Too many peas in there. Mr. Van
[9:46] Guilder.
>> Good evening, Council. Jason Van
[9:49] Guilder, your Public Works Director.
As I think we've discussed this a number
[9:54] of times before, but uh
with some new members on the council,
[9:58] I'm not I'm not exactly recalling what
we have discussed in detail. So, I'll
[10:03] give a brief overview and I'll be glad
to answer your questions. We have a
[10:06] contract with Knife River for mining of
gravel out of some city property south
[10:12] of Mill Slough.
Uh that contract has been going on for 2
[10:16] or 3 years.
Uh with the royalties from that, we have
[10:20] had them construct a
uh the roundabout at Sawtooth uh Road
[10:26] and Middleton Road.
Uh
[10:28] with that was sort of an advance on some
royalties for from that gravel mining
[10:32] contract.
Uh they have mined out some gravel areas
[10:37] that that were available to them.
Uh there's been a hold up on what
[10:41] additional
[10:43] » I'm sorry.
>> Okay. Okay.
[10:45] » I'll keep going. Sorry. Private
conversation. I'm sorry.
[10:47] » A a uh
there's been some discussion about how
[10:50] much more area could be cuz there is
some wetlands on that property.
[10:54] Uh they have reached out to us about
about 6 months or a year ago and said
[10:58] there was only kind of a little bit of
gravel left to mine out from the areas
[11:03] that are currently available to them.
And uh uh wanted to do that. We also
[11:09] recognized at that time that backfill
was not coming back into the site as we
[11:14] had
we had both hoped a number of years ago
[11:17] when we were entering into this
contract. So, uh the city
[11:21] took a look at that and said uh it would
kind of might be in our best interest to
[11:25] stop mining because if they keep mining
there wouldn't be anything left but a
[11:30] couple big lakes. We'd like some areas
for some parking or some other more park
[11:35] amenities as that's our long-term plan
for that area.
[11:39] So, we we kind of discussed both of
those things.
[11:43] Uh I have worked with our legal counsel
and their legal counsel.
[11:47] Uh what we would like to suggest to you
is a non-binding letter of intent.
[11:54] The goal of this letter is to lay out
sort of a path forward with them in that
[11:59] they're going to agree to stop mining uh
the gravel that's there. We will agree
[12:05] to
uh
[12:08] We will eventually This is a pathway
towards finally getting a final
[12:12] amendment to our gravel land lease right
now. This is non-binding, but we we
[12:17] would like to be on a pathway that will
get us to where they will leave the
[12:20] gravel in place that still remains there
currently.
[12:23] They will work with us and our park
designer to
[12:28] uh figure out what what best how best
that area is going to be as a park with
[12:32] what's there and what they can be doing
to kind of shape the area to get us in a
[12:37] good position to that and so that's not
being left as
[12:40] kind of a gravel mine.
Will help us uh shape how we're going to
[12:46] uh
do a final gravel reclamation plan that
[12:50] needs to get approved by ID
uh
[12:52] Department of Lands.
And then also let us work with our
[12:57] engineers to our and our park designers
to to discuss the permitting and get the
[13:03] permitting kind of lined out for how we
will get that through the core and
[13:07] through the uh
uh
[13:11] through the the flood plain permitting
and through the the uh reclamation
[13:17] closure of that pit. So, there's a
number of things that we need to kind of
[13:20] work with them on
on that. Uh we've have already
[13:24] uh
had [snorts] two or three master plans
[13:27] for that park done before we do another
one. We'd like to make sure that we're
[13:30] all on the same path and that the the
the park that's going to be there is the
[13:34] park that we're master planning around.
So, that was the intent of the letter
[13:39] that you have before you. This has been
approved reviewed by our council and by
[13:42] their council and is
kind of before you. Again, it's
[13:46] intended to be non-binding, but we would
like to give the mayor authority to say
[13:50] this is the direction that we would like
to be going with with Knife River.
[13:55] Uh if you have any questions, I'll be
glad to stand for them.
[13:58] » Any questions, counselor?
[14:02] » Yeah. Just real quick here.
Uh so, obviously from this we've come to
[14:07] some monetary amount that's going to be
paid to them. Is that
[14:12] » Yes. Uh we have we have
uh
[14:17] within this there is the amount that we
agreed would be the cost of the
[14:21] roundabout that they constructed.
We they have already reduced that amount
[14:27] by the gravel royalties that they have
removed from the from the pit already.
[14:32] Uh so, the balance of that and I don't I
don't have an exact number because I
[14:37] don't remember exact number and because
they're still hauling out a little bit
[14:41] of the gravel that they've already
processed. So, once once we get all that
[14:45] done, that will lead us to the exact
number of what will make them whole and
[14:50] will allow us to go. That money we have
budgeted in next year's uh a budget
[14:56] that's been approved and is actually
eligible to be reimbursed through impact
[15:01] fees because it's for a project on the
impact fee schedule.
[15:04] » Okay, that's exactly where I was going.
Then um
[15:08] there there I tried to read through this
uh
[15:11] um receiving the gravel mining and
they're doing site grading.
[15:16] The site grading is not going to be
anything additional cost-wise. It's
[15:19] going to be just
part of what we're reimbursing through
[15:23] uh
the the not item two roundabout payment
[15:27] that there's going to be no additional
>> We have always known that uh they they
[15:31] stockpiled some of the topsoils along
the back edge bank knowing that that
[15:38] would be
ideal for kind of
[15:40] » [clears throat]
>> smoothing out some of the edges. There's
[15:42] kind of a
a little artificial berm along the near
[15:46] triangle uh pond that kind of needs to
get graded out. And then along where we
[15:51] think there might be some beaches,
there'll probably be a little bit of
[15:54] grading to make sure that the the pit
doesn't have a big drop-off at the edge
[15:58] of the water. So, no, we're not
anticipating paying them anything.
[16:02] » just wanted to make sure. It didn't say
anything about additional. It sounded
[16:05] like that was all part of the original
agreement.
[16:07] And so, just a curiosity question, could
I hear you say that is there is going to
[16:12] be a lake there at some point or is it
the areas where we're back to
[16:16] » Two large water bodies that will
probably always be large water bodies.
[16:19] » And the areas that we're backfilling or
absent as much backfill as we hoped for,
[16:24] they'll be flat
>> We had We had uh
[16:28] some hope that there would be enough
backfill just coming in to fill up at
[16:33] least one of those lake areas and
provide a lot of areas for some some
[16:38] feelings and some
picnic areas and and that's that's just
[16:44] not the case of how things have worked
out. So.
[16:46] » Okay.
Okay. That's all I got. Thank you,
[16:49] Jason.
>> Thank you.
[16:50] » Any other questions, Council?
>> Nope.
[16:57] » Okay.
Do we approval from
[17:01] to amend the
>> We won't need a roll call vote cuz we're
[17:04] not amending a contract currently, but
we still will vote to give you the
[17:07] authorization to sign.
[17:11] » It's just a letter of intent, so
>> Right.
[17:13] » Yeah.
>> So, I will I move we authorize the mayor
[17:16] to sign the letter of intent between the
city of Middleton and Nigh Corp
[17:19] Corporation
regarding the anticipated upcoming
[17:21] amended contract for the gravel pit
project.
[17:23] » I'll second.
>> Moved by myself, seconded by

in favor?
[17:29] » Aye.

[26:10] » All right, did we miss anyone?
How about you two young men?
[26:13] » [laughter]
[26:18] » Oh boy.
>> I'm Alan Trimble.
[26:20] » Okay.

[26:24] » [laughter]
[26:28] » I did have a traffic question.
Our new South Middleton Road
[26:34] extension.
I was always told that's right in right
[26:37] out.
>> Mhm.
[26:39] » I've seen people cut across
and I see a whole lot of west or west
[26:45] bound people turn left.
>> [snorts]
[26:48] » There's not a sign out there.
So,
[26:53] put some signs up.
>> Yeah. And don't do that.
[26:57] You haven't recruited yet?
>> But that is the case, right? Right in,
[27:01] right out.
>> Yes. Yeah.
[27:02] Just for your knowledge,
um we have had a discussion with ITD.
[27:07] It's their intersection.
They they are going to come out and put
[27:11] in some temporary
uh pork chop to alleviate the
[27:16] misdirection of traffic. So, that should
be coming soon.
[27:20] » All right. Good.
>> All right.
[27:23] Um
let's uh move on to mayor and council
[27:27] comments.
I'm sorry.
[27:30] » One one message for these guys.
>> Oh, absolutely.
[27:33] » Yeah. So, uh all you students, listen
up. So, uh part of our community is a
[27:40] formalized It's called a youth council.
And it can be from any school and ages
[27:46] from
I'm not sure. Very young up to your age.
[27:51] And youth council is the youth's
representatives, like we are city
[27:55] council here, they are the youth council
for youth and related uh
[28:02] topics, issues, concerns that you as a
youth council can bring
[28:06] to us as city council. It's a formalized
program.
[28:11] And they are right now in the process of
recruiting
[28:14] uh
um people to be on that youth council.
[28:17] You actually come to meetings. It's
formally you sit here just like we are.
[28:22] And you discuss topics of of relevance
to young people in the community.
[28:27] And it is a very important role. And I
would encourage anybody with an interest
[28:31] in doing what we're doing at your age
to seek it out, participate. You can get
[28:37] let me know personally if you need
contact and I can let you know.
[28:41] But I wanted to share that with you all.
You're all here in a captive audience.
[28:45] So, thank you, mayor, for letting me
speak.
[28:47] » Well, I I'd like to thank you all for
attending today.
[28:51] Um it certainly was great to pick at you
for a little bit.
[28:55] Um
we uh hope that you all do well in your
[28:58] studies as you move forward. Please
remember that you are almost old enough
[29:02] to vote and get involved in what's going
on in your community.
[29:07] Um those of you that are seeking legal
degrees or business degrees,
[29:12] Mark has pointed you in a very good
direction to help you on your way. So,
[29:17] please get involved and keep working to
keep Middleton the wonderful town that
[29:22] it is.
>> That's a very
[29:23] » have a recruiter yet?
>> No.
[29:26] Doesn't matter if it's the Air Force.
>> [laughter]
[29:29] » ALL RIGHT.
WE CAN POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT WAY. WE
[29:31] STILL GET HIM IN THE EVEN THE Air Force.
>> That's okay.
[29:34] » But uh you know, Mayor, uh Mayor, that
was that's a great point. I mean, this
[29:38] is a a fantastic resume opportunity for
you all.
[29:42] Just a a great thing to put on your
resume. Thank you.
[29:45] » Uh
>> Okay, we have a a few minutes here. Uh
[29:48] so, let's uh dive into these comments. I
have a couple for you tonight. Um
[29:54] one that was brought up at the Treasure
Valley Partnership of Idaho the other
[29:58] day, which is an issue with uh Bitcoin
and the ATMs that are being used for
[30:06] fraud across the valley. Um we have seen
hundreds of thousands of dollars going
[30:13] into these machines that are totally
wasted, um not recoverable. So, um
[30:20] if you guys
find yourself in a situation where
[30:24] um you're not sure
that you're talking to a
[30:30] complete resident or complete
representative of a a company that you
[30:34] actually know, either hang up or get
some more answers. Don't go put any
[30:40] money in an ATM Bitcoin, that's going to
go away and you're going to suffer from
[30:46] it.
So, we will be looking towards some
[30:52] issues with our council to
remove such devices from our community.
[31:00] We also had a
discussion with uh
[31:07] the Treasure Valley Partners on the
pathway etiquette and
[31:12] signage situation.
They provided a wonderful trifold
[31:18] advertisement for
etiquette on the green belts,
[31:22] specifically to address the issue of the
electric motorcycles on the green belts
[31:29] and on city streets
from unlicensed drivers,
[31:34] under the age, without insurance.
So, those issues are are definitely
[31:39] coming forward and we expect the
legislature to enact another law this
[31:45] year to prohibit
electric motorcycles on city streets by
[31:50] underage drivers. So, if you guys have
brothers and sisters that are riding an
[31:55] electric motorcycle on the city street,
remind your parents that they are not
[32:00] allowed.
Okay?
[32:05] We had an invitation from Mayor Chadwick
to attend the City of Stars
[32:14] What do they call that? Uh
State of the city. Thank you.
[32:19] That will be 5:00 p.m. at the Eagle
Nazarene Church in Star on the 21st.
[32:26] So, if you have time and would like to
attend,
[32:30] I'm sure they'd love to have you there.
A very wonderful event happened today
[32:35] that
uh
[32:37] has a long time in coming. Fortunately,
our our legislature has stepped up a
[32:42] little bit and
uh funded a school. This is the second
[32:48] school funded in Idaho that is without
taxpayer revenue.
[32:54] Um it is funded through the legislature
on
[32:57] um different programs and ours.
Uh
[33:02] superintendent of schools, Mark Gee, has
been
[33:06] instrumental in making this uh come
forward. It's been over a decade since
[33:12] our community actually approved the
purchase of a new school, but we do have
[33:19] a new elementary school coming on
Kingsbury, and we were lucky enough to
[33:24] attend the groundbreaking today. So,
uh moving forward with that, uh I think
[33:29] that's going to be a wonderful asset the
next couple of years. Unfortunately, it
[33:34] will not cure our school capacity
problem.
[33:38] » Which one of them?
>> It does address the elementary schools,
[33:42] [clears throat] but let's face it,
junior high and high school are equally
[33:47] affected by the growth that our
elementary schools are now seeing.
[33:53] Um the last thing I have is uh
uh I was able to attend a water college
[34:00] in Boise um just this last week, which
was very informative as to how our water
[34:07] is supplied from Lucky Peak through the
system
[34:10] um down here to the valley. So, uh
it was great to walk through that and
[34:16] actually get a chance to speak with some
of our legislators about the
[34:21] housing problems that are created
because of covering up farmland and
[34:27] and uh
not
[34:30] using that water
for crops but for watering somebody's
[34:36] lawn which still has the same impact so
it was a [snorts] great thing to attend
[34:43] to and
[34:46] would be more than happy to share the
information with you if you want to talk
[34:50] about it.
So
[34:53] this time let's
move on to Council comments
[34:57] anything that you ladies and gentlemen
would like to bring forward.
[35:03] » I'm good.
>> Just to add to the groundbreaking for
[35:07] the school you know I was there with a
few of you guys and it was it
[35:11] [clears throat] was really neat seeing
the community get together that the
[35:14] teachers and the different leaders of of
Star and Middleton and having that
[35:18] connection and I [snorts] thought that
was like really really really neat.
[35:22] I'm proud of our town.
>> We also have more city council members
[35:25] from Middleton and Star.
>> [laughter]
[35:29] » Not that it's a competition.
[35:32] It is the Middleton School District just
happens to be
[35:35] all the way over in Star.
Unfortunately the the growth from Star
[35:40] is getting to that site faster than the
growth from Middleton
[35:44] and that's just how it is unfortunately.
[35:50] Absolutely. Simple.
Well maybe not simple but
[35:57] all right anything else?
No okay all right
[36:04] one more.
>> You were
[36:07] I just wanted to ask you what was the
state of the Star state of the union
[36:12] I know the date but what time?
>> It's 5:00 p.m.
[36:16] » And what was the Nazarene?
>> It's at the
[36:21] 1001 Eagle Nazarene Church on West State
Street.
[36:28] » Okay thank you.
[36:32] Okay, if there's nothing else
then I will release you students to your
[36:37] regularly scheduled evening.
[36:43] » Get a recruiter now.
>> [laughter]
[36:51] » You guys had a talk.
>> Yeah.
