me know if you're going back. I'll go
with you."

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,759
» She talked.
>> It was small. She said it was under

5
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:14,759
$100.

All in favor signify by saying I.
>> I.

53
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:49,760
» I. The same. Motion carried. Let's jump
down to item number eight. U EDA update.

54
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:54,720
And we have uh economic development
director Jordan Gman. and she's joining

55
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:59,360
us online this evening. There's uh three
bullet points to talk about. Uh the

56
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:04,000
first one is update of the board
structure which is just an FYI. The

57
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:10,480
second one bylaws which will need a
motion and the third one is the 2027

58
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:15,680
CEDA contract which is just an FYI. So
Jordan take it away.

59
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:20,400
» Perfect. Can everybody hear me? Okay.
>> Yes.

60
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:24,440
» Great. Let's see. We will start with the
updated board structure

61
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,720
that chamber transition presentation
slide.

62
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:43,000
I can't see it, but if you Okay, great.
Sounds good. Um, if we want to scroll

63
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,000
through this here

64
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:52,199
a little bit,
we can keep going.

65
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,199
Keep going.

66
00:04:53,199 --> 00:05:01,280
Keep going.
This one works. Okay. So, um just to

67
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:07,039
give you a little context, um the
chamber has been seeking votes from

68
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,720
members as far as what the future looks
like. The chamber has received enough

69
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,400
votes to move forward with the
dissolution. They're doing that separate

70
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:20,000
from the city with their own legal
counsel as recommended by the city

71
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:25,039
attorney. Um but a quick update for you
is to what that means we're going to

72
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:30,800
look like come January. Um and hopefully
a little before then is um increasing

73
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:36,000
our capacity at the board level with the
EDA. Right now we have a five member

74
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:41,199
board which is great and we have a good
turnout the majority of the time but

75
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:47,199
we're looking at increasing our board
membership to nine members. As you can

76
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:53,680
see um on this slide our thought process
is we will have a chair person

77
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,720
essentially for certain areas of
community development. So, for example,

78
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:03,120
we would have community events, more
than likely chaired by Lana, who's

79
00:06:00,479 --> 00:06:08,560
currently on the EDA board. Marketing
and tourism would be a chair um person

80
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,800
who would be new to the EDA board.
Business support we can find within our

81
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:19,199
current board structure. Um and I think
there'll be more buckets of focus areas

82
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,639
that will get assigned to anybody who's
interested. Um, but I believe with the

83
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:30,080
way that we're moving and shifting and
towards programming in 2027, there is a

84
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:35,840
need to increase our board size to nine
members. Um, this is the best slide I

85
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:40,720
could show you to present why. Wondering
if there's any questions or feedback or

86
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:45,520
concerns from any of you.
>> Any questions from the council?

87
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,080
See none, Jordan.
>> Okay. So, there's your update there on

88
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,199
what we're what we're hoping to do and I
think we can transition right into

89
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,680
bylaws.
>> Yes.

90
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,680
» Um

91
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Lance a sec here.
Perfect. Um in red um are the updates to

92
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:16,800
our um active bylaws. There's very
minimal. Um and I just put them in red

93
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:22,479
for you to see. We're looking to update
the bylaws. This is a recommendation

94
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:27,680
from the EDA board um with very minimal
um grammatical updates as well as um

95
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,919
explaining in the bylaws that the
authority the economic development

96
00:07:29,599 --> 00:07:37,759
authority will be a board of nine
officers.

97
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:41,835
And then if we scroll down a little bit
further,

98
00:07:39,815 --> 00:07:41,835
[cough]

99
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:50,479
the only other update we have here is
the section 3 quorum that now quorum

100
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:56,720
will be five people instead of what we
originally had which was three. And

101
00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:01,520
those are the only um updates that look
different than previously with these

102
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:07,280
bylaws. So, I am looking for a motion to
um

103
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,960
accept the revised EDA bylaws.
>> Hear a motion.

104
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,039
» I'll make that motion.
>> We have a motion. Is there a second?

105
00:08:10,479 --> 00:08:16,000
» Second.
>> Motion and a second. Discussion.

106
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,160
Discussion.
Discussion. Hearing none. All in favor

107
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:26,975
signify by saying I.
>> I. The same. Motion carried.

108
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,400
» Great. Thank you. And lastly, just
[clears throat] um a discussion piece if

109
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:34,159
there is discussion. If there isn't,
that's okay. Um right now, I know the

110
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:40,000
budget committee is working on
finalizing or getting closer to

111
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:46,240
finalizing what um the 2027 city of
Pelican Rapids budget looks like

112
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:53,680
due to this board structure change and
what we imagine will be programming um

113
00:08:49,760 --> 00:09:01,279
added on to current programming that the
CAD team provides. Um we're planning and

114
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:06,480
hoping that we can increase our um
service level from four days a week to

115
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:11,760
five. Of course, the budget committee
isn't doing uh isn't done doing their

116
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:17,360
job, but I wanted to just get this in
front of the city council. I think in

117
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:21,920
order to have a swift and smooth um
transition with more services being

118
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:26,800
underneath the EDA um it's essential
that we have enough capacity and time to

119
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:32,959
be able to do it well. That way things
are improved in the future. Um at CEDA

120
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:37,920
we're getting very close to updating um
our numbers so I can have a a financial

121
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,640
update for you with what that investment
would cost. I've shared with Lance and

122
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:47,279
Danielle that right now um I'm asking
for people to plan for a 5% increase.

123
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,519
Fairly confident that we'll come in
underneath that, but I think it's better

124
00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:56,640
to tell you five and come in lower than
tell you two and come in higher. So, um

125
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,320
I'm happy to have discussion if there is
any discussion points at the city

126
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:04,320
council level. Otherwise, they just
wanted this to be an update so you know

127
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:09,600
where we're at with all of the news
going around about the chamber and so on

128
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:13,040
and so forth. So happy to have
discussion, happy to answer any

129
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,760
questions if there are any.
>> Any questions, council?

130
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,320
» No questions, Jordan.
>> Okay, that's all I have for you this

131
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,680
evening.
>> Okay, thank you for joining us.

132
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:36,320
» Thank you.
>> Let's go up to item number seven. Um the

133
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:42,959
time is 6:10 p.m. We're going to recess
our city council meeting and go into the

134
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:47,279
SCDP public hearing and we have um Mr.
Mitch Harry here to speak to us this

135
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:52,720
evening. Uh remember during our public
hearing there cannot be any motions made

136
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:58,440
uh just discussion at that point and
then we'll reconvene our council meeting

137
00:10:54,959 --> 00:10:58,440
later. Mitch.

138
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:06,240
» Hi, I'm Mitch Harry, a project manager
with the county HR. I'm just going to

139
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,800
give you a quick update on the small
cities development program progress.

140
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:17,920
So, we started our first project um June
23rd of 25, so a little over a year. Um

141
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,480
so far, we have five on the owner
occupied side, residential. We have five

142
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:28,640
complete projects
um [clears throat] totaling $117,49.80

143
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:34,160
of Small Cities um development grant
money. Uh we have four projects in

144
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:40,480
progress right now um all maxing out the
25,000. So that'll be another 100,000

145
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:46,320
and I have three getting bids um that I
anticipate will all use the the 25,000.

146
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:51,120
So that'll be another 75. Um what we had
earmarked for owner occupied originally

147
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:56,399
was $425,000.
Um so we're committed to just over

148
00:11:53,200 --> 00:12:02,000
$300,000 at this point. Um ideally we'll
get all that spent. Um so the deadline

149
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:08,480
we have to be complete and closed out by
September 30th of 27. Um so I think

150
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:14,560
that's very doable. If we get maybe five
more residential projects in the next

151
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:19,279
year, we'll we'll have that complete.
Um, in addition, there's been just under

152
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:25,200
$22,000
of the county leverage loans available.

153
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:29,440
We have an additional $7,000 available
through the county. Um, if somebody's

154
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:33,040
project goes over that 25,000. So, we
had a few take advantage of that.

155
00:12:31,948 --> 00:12:38,560
[clears throat] Um, on the commercial
side, it's been quite a bit slower. Um,

156
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:43,360
we have one project in progress that is
looking to be done here in the next two,

157
00:12:40,079 --> 00:12:48,240
three weeks. Um, I have one that that
we're going to get started um probably

158
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:53,279
the next two, three weeks as well. That
one is only going to take the minimum.

159
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:57,200
It's a $5,000 minimum loan. Um, they're
only going to use the minimum on that.

160
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Um, the other project is just a shade
over 32,000.

161
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:07,600
So, originally we had 400,000 in for
commercial and right now we're at just

162
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:15,120
over 37,000. Um, so about $360,000
remaining um on the commercial side.

163
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:20,160
We've talked internally and with our
state representative indeed. We have the

164
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,519
opportunity and we will look at doing
that maybe in the spring to move some of

165
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:28,079
that commercial money into owner
occupied. Uh you can't go the other way,

166
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,880
but we can take some of that if we see
the demand for additional residential

167
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:37,279
projects. We can move over
um once or twice some money if if the

168
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,320
need is there. So, we've thought about
doing that. Um, and other than that,

169
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:46,680
unless anybody has any questions, that's
about about it for the update.

170
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:54,160
» Council have any questions?
>> Okay, sounds good.

171
00:13:51,040 --> 00:14:00,880
» Okay, thank you. Appreciate it.
>> Uh, the time is 6:13 uh 6:14

172
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:07,360
p.m. We're going to adjourn our public
hearing at this time and reconvene our

173
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:11,440
city council meeting.
Um,

174
00:14:09,839 --> 00:14:15,120
we already had our public hearing on
SCDP. Are there any comments at this

175
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:18,880
point? There's no motions to be made,
but give you another chance if there's

176
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:23,920
any comments.
Okay, hearing none, we're going to jump

177
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:30,399
up to item number six, 2028 Highway 59
South Project. We have Mr. Tom Pace here

178
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:33,760
from District 4 office in Detroit Lakes.
And he wanted to be out of here by 1000

179
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:38,480
p.m. So,
>> well, I'll start. I'll talk quick. only

180
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:41,360
got four hours, but thank you, Mr.
Mayor, City Council. It's always a

181
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,519
pleasure coming down to see you fine
folks. So, thought I'd come down and

182
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:52,240
give you an update on I guess the
layout, the next piece of the of uh next

183
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:55,760
project in line for Mandot. Um, this see
here is an updated layout actually

184
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:59,680
actually just finished this morning
actually, so pretty, you know, hot off

185
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:05,839
the presses. I'm basically looking at
adding center left turn lanes down there

186
00:15:02,079 --> 00:15:09,440
at at 10th Avenue. You know, as as all
know here, it's kind of a busy

187
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:14,160
intersection. A lot of left turns and
and been a couple crashes down there and

188
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:17,279
some some near misses. So, we're looking
at trying to add some left turns down

189
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:21,120
the center just to make it safer down
there. And one it was it was suggested

190
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:24,480
quite a few times to add add a
roundabout in there, but that's just not

191
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,959
really feasible.
It's pretty expensive and doesn't quite

192
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:33,440
justify the, you know, the $2.5 million
to put a roundabout in down there. So,

193
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:38,399
and the rightway environmental issues
that would would be would work. So, this

194
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,320
design we think is going to make it
pretty efficient down there. Um, I'll

195
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:46,480
just walk over here to probably hear me,
but yeah, we're just going to add a left

196
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:52,079
turn lane down the middle. Similar as
the downtown corridor, we have 259

197
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:57,360
northbound. still have a right turn lane
going in into tent. Um southbound

198
00:15:55,759 --> 00:16:02,000
or take away that right turn lane as
they are now just have a through lane to

199
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:09,040
go southbound. Right turners can still
turn pretty easily. We go on to 10th. Um

200
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:14,000
on the north west I still have our 4ft
sidewalk

201
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:19,120
all the way on the down to the 12th I
believe. On the east side, we're going

202
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:24,240
to move that wide pavement in front of
the gas station. That's going to be a

203
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:27,680
concrete shared path in that section
there. So, it's going to be a pretty

204
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:31,120
nice improvement for that downtown piece
south of town there. So, I know most of

205
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:36,160
you have seen this layout before,
>> but that's just something that we added.

206
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:41,839
Excuse me. One thing that we are we're
also looking at doing is know Thrive

207
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Church here. I met Justin a few months
ago and he's suggesting or made a

208
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:54,160
suggestion to move his uh driveway from
where it is here to line up with 11th

209
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:59,600
Avenue Southeast. So we would would
remove this one and then build one over

210
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:04,640
there. So that would be a good fit, you
know, for traffic I guess efficiencies.

211
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,959
I guess his complaint was that his
parking lot is unsafe during church

212
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:14,959
services. people are driving, where
people are walking and so he's

213
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:19,520
he made the suggestion. So now one
caveat about that is mendot would only

214
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:24,880
go up to a rightway line.
>> So anything about that would be on the

215
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:28,720
city to to do. So that's kind of why and
I talked with you know Lance a while ago

216
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,520
just to bring it to her to your
attention. So that's one thing I like

217
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:36,880
tonight. Maybe some direction from the
city council is if that's a feasible

218
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,400
option to move that approach or leave it
where it is. So I know it's uh kind of a

219
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:47,440
big big undertaking if the city wanted
to do that or someone to do it. I know

220
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,480
that that's a city street going west and
as mentioned maybe that'd be a good spot

221
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:57,200
for a future development if there was a
crossing there, but that's beyond what

222
00:17:53,039 --> 00:18:01,200
Mandot would would do. So
it's kind of an odd spot now. I mean

223
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,880
it's a it would take some work to get an
approach built in there,

224
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:08,000
» you know. So it's
>> Lance or Brian's as church talked to you

225
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,400
about that?
>> Uh Lance and I have discussed it. So

226
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,919
Tom, the yellow line or the green line,
excuse me, is the rightway line.

227
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,440
» Correct. Yep. The green line is right
line.

228
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:24,320
» So we wouldn't have to develop a whole
lot beyond that to give them access.

229
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,200
» No, I wouldn't I wouldn't think so.
>> Um

230
00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:30,320
» No. And Bob is still looking into what
we need to do for utilities there. It

231
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,520
would make sense at this point to stub
them out cuz I mean that is technically

232
00:18:31,919 --> 00:18:37,600
a city street right now. So if ever
anything ever were to develop on the

233
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:41,280
west there, we'd we'd want those
>> and that now would be the time to do it.

234
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,679
So
>> the utilities aren't stubbed out there,

235
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:47,440
are they?
>> No, we we stubbed them out. They're on

236
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,600
that side, but we just have to stub them
out to to the west. Uh my second

237
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:58,320
question is how come you took the right
turn lane out at 10th going south

238
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:01,840
» to make room for the through lane going
because we had moved the through lane

239
00:18:59,919 --> 00:19:08,320
over to the west to make room for the
center left turn lane

240
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:12,799
with with our new design. So in order to
keep the right turn lane next to it

241
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:16,559
we'll be taking down more trees and
there'd be a lot more impacts to the

242
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,600
businesses on the west side by keeping
right turn lane in there. The current

243
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,039
right turn lane will basically will be
the southbound through lane

244
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,360
» if that makes sense.
>> Yeah, that just doesn't make sense.

245
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:30,799
Traffic goes so fast down there
>> that now you're going to take away that

246
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:36,320
lane and they're going to be flying past
the people that are taking a left and I

247
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,600
I think that's that's not a safe option.
Honestly, that's my opinion. I really

248
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,160
think you need to figure out how to get
that right turn lane in. There's many

249
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,240
people that go that way there at 10 to
the west.

250
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:49,120
» Yeah. In order to add a right turn lane
in there, we're going to be taking a lot

251
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:52,640
more trees. We're going to be
>> Where would you be taking trees?

252
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,039
» Oh, everything you see on the picture.
I'm I can't see.

253
00:19:53,919 --> 00:20:00,720
» No, I'm I'm looking.
>> Sorry. I walk over here, but imagine all

254
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,120
this up here 14 ft over.
>> Yeah.

255
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,600
» Just to the west. We got a big ditch in
here.

256
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:09,120
» I get water through there. This is all
going to be basically up to here. Maybe

257
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,240
that's not going to be by right. Just
put a right turn in.

258
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:16,799
» I understand. But there's a right turn
left and right on the northbound.

259
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:20,720
» There's a there's a northbound left
right turn lane and a southbound right

260
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:24,720
turn lane. So left turners are causing
the issues. I sat down there myself

261
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,840
today and I saw three cars go around the
left turners into the right turn and

262
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,840
back in.
>> So that is a very unsafe movement.

263
00:20:29,679 --> 00:20:37,520
» It absolutely is. I just I don't I don't
know that that's a somehow try to get

264
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,600
that in there cuz it's
they're unless they're going to reduce

265
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:47,679
speed down there which they never will.
And that was going to be my question.

266
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:53,440
Will they entertain that idea is to
shift the speed limits further up.

267
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:56,640
» Yeah, speed limits are based on 80% of
the traveling public. So the only way to

268
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,559
slow people down is if you sat down
there all day and made them slow down,

269
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:04,559
then they would go slower. But
everything is based on 80% of the

270
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:09,200
traveling speeds already.
>> So, do they do speed studies?

271
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:13,039
» We do them all the time. Yeah, we'll do
a north north in town here after a job

272
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,919
is completed probably next year here cuz
that's speedy up there, too. So,

273
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,280
» Mhm.
>> Yeah. It's really hard to train.

274
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:24,720
» Have they done one down here?
>> Uh, yeah. If you ask for one and it's

275
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,600
high, the speed speeds may go up. That's
>> Well, I understand. But that that

276
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,799
doesn't make any sense to me either.
They these people make that decision

277
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,760
down there where they drive 90 all the
time.

278
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,200
» Y
>> not in rural America currently currently

279
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,039
a common question.
>> Currently a 40. Right.

280
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,799
» Right. They're going 50 especially going
south.

281
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,830
» I mean not me but
>> right.

282
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,830
» No not not at all. [laughter]

283
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,600
» No. It's a great question. You know
obviously MA's not a enforcement agency.

284
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:56,400
You know that's the guy standing to your
right there. So and state for state

285
00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:00,880
patrol. But we by doing this you
probably find out cars will go slower.

286
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:05,840
» Cars probably will go slower based on
narrow speed narrow lanes and you know

287
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,679
exactly the goal win. So
>> you told us that downtown. I haven't

288
00:22:07,679 --> 00:22:14,240
seen in fact
>> that's not a selling point

289
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:18,320
» in downtown speed eight miles per hour
is less than a quarter project.

290
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,520
» So we we actually track all cell phones
going through there and the speeders

291
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,919
have reduced the 27 miles per hour
average speed between the roundabouts.

292
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:28,799
really
>> before they're upper 30s.

293
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,600
» So yes, the speeds are reduced downtown
>> maybe.

294
00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:34,320
» No, 100%.
>> What's the blue line?

295
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,320
» The blue line.
>> The blue shading

296
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,480
» boulevard. I think
>> the blue shading. Yeah, that's a grass

297
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,120
boulevard in between the sidewalk.
>> So it's like

298
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,240
» it's like one west
>> one what? Yeah.

299
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,559
» Yep. Good question.
>> They're not planning to add any more

300
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:50,880
street lights.
>> The street lights are on the east side

301
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,880
already.
>> They're not moving. They're not putting

302
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,640
any more over there.
>> They were put over there in place of the

303
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,120
project. So, planning for this job
already. So,

304
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,679
» they're not adding any on the west side.
>> They are not.

305
00:22:59,679 --> 00:23:04,320
» Perfect. That was the question.
>> Yeah. No need for speed lights.

306
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,039
» We don't want any more close to the
road.

307
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:12,080
» Right. Right.
>> Left turn lanes. They solve the problem

308
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:16,640
on 59, but they don't solve the problem
on 10th

309
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:19,840
east or east or westbound. If you're
trying to make a left-hand turn, it's

310
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,640
still difficult
>> with a left turn lane. Yeah,

311
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,159
» we used to have a safe place to sit and
took up a space to cross

312
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,440
» and now people are driving around them
on their shoulders.

313
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840
» And we we you've seen that, I'm sure,
many times. And

314
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,440
» he's talking about people coming off of
tents trying to get on.

315
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,440
» Oh, off the tent. Okay.
>> Yeah.

316
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,640
» Roundabouts. The only thing that would
solve that.

317
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:46,960
» To
Tom's point, the people passing on the

318
00:23:44,159 --> 00:23:49,039
shoulder on the right causes the hazard
for the people trying to get on off of

319
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,919
town.
>> They do, right? People think they're

320
00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:55,840
turning and they're not.
>> It's a very scary deal. I saw that

321
00:23:53,360 --> 00:24:01,120
myself half hour ago or an hour ago.
>> So, yeah, you're right. It's a long ways

322
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:05,840
across, you know. So, it would make it
safe to get into tent in that area.

323
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:09,360
We have to look at maybe some more ped
crossings, you know, maybe not right

324
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:16,400
there, but we are putting a ped crossing
on 10th on the north side. We have

325
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:20,400
sidewalk and and marked crosswalk. There
were signs and everything so they can

326
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:24,596
get across. So,
Yeah, it's hard to do do the best we

327
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,600
can. You know, we can't make everybody
[cough]

328
00:24:26,159 --> 00:24:33,919
that's been a complaint we've heard for
quite a long time for this this area and

329
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:37,279
this will definitely be an improvement.
>> Are you looking for council action to

330
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,000
accept these plans?
>> Not really. Just more of information.

331
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,919
» Justformational.
>> Yeah. Okay.

332
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,679
» This is this is basically what we're
doing. Good comments, you know.

333
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:50,320
» It's what they're doing. what we're
doing, you know. So, this is this is

334
00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:53,279
what we would ask to do by pay people
look at the center intersection.

335
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,200
» The bike path through here, is that
going to be a curb then? This red

336
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,400
portion
>> down here.

337
00:24:55,919 --> 00:24:58,559
» Yep.
>> Yeah. Yeah.

338
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,279
» And it's it's going to be concrete, the
blue part.

339
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,840
» Yep.
>> Okay.

340
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:04,720
» All be concrete. So,
>> there probably some some sort of

341
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,799
probably mountable curb, something in
there next to that driving service.

342
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:14,240
So coming out of South Town's parking
lot heading north will be a curb there

343
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:16,559
too. Going into the parking lot for
>> for the school.

344
00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:19,440
» Going which way? This one?
>> No. Down in down. No, down on the other

345
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,440
street. That one.
>> This one?

346
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:25,120
» Yeah. The frontage road, whatever you
call it. No, keep going north.

347
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,720
» North of this one.
>> Right there. That that'll be a curb

348
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,840
» here. Yeah.
>> But not where that line crosses that

349
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:34,159
parking lot.
>> No, not over there. No, that is a that

350
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,279
line.
>> Yeah. You'll see here that the driveway

351
00:25:35,919 --> 00:25:40,960
is being reduced in width.
>> Right now it's it's really wide. It's

352
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:46,000
like 60 ft wide. We're bringing it down
to 36. So more of a normal normal width.

353
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,279
So
and this one here will take the same

354
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:53,200
width. This is 36 ft wide. This one's
probably look make it 36 ft wide.

355
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,679
» That still make it functionable for all
the trucks that pull in there.

356
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,320
» Oh yeah. Yeah.
>> Good.

357
00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:03,919
» Yeah. It's actually wire wire
commercial. The commercial is 32 ft. So

358
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,880
yeah, the truck cabin move. They should
be driving semi.

359
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,120
» What are the widths of the approaches
going into the turkey plant?

360
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,320
» I know off top of my head. So
>> they're not wide enough.

361
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,559
» Yeah. What about the driveway lane being
pushed over? They have a harder time

362
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,720
making it. So
>> yeah,

363
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:22,880
» that's a good comment. So
>> they cannot make those,

364
00:26:20,159 --> 00:26:25,679
» right? Especially southbound. So
>> yeah,

365
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:32,880
» northbound more problem. Southbound's
always the trickier ones.

366
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:37,039
So yeah. So the idea of the the new uh
approach at the church that could be

367
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:43,200
talked about later if something changes.
>> Yeah. I mean we now batting is January

368
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:47,200
2028. You know construction 2028. So we
have a little time you know to figure

369
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:51,200
out a final plans. Um the sooner the
better. So we know how to design our

370
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:56,720
plans and layouts environmental impacts
that sort of stuff. You know now it's

371
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,279
you know it's August 2026.
You know, I think the end of this year,

372
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,720
it'd be great to have some sort of
director from the city, which is I would

373
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:06,640
think four months should be enough time
or three months, whatever is left. Four

374
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,320
months
to get some sort of uh either we leave

375
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:13,200
it where it is or you move it. You know,
it's not

376
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,679
it's [clears throat] cheaper for us to
leave it where it is, but probably more

377
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:22,080
beneficial for traffic impacts. It makes
more sense to move it more of a

378
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:27,919
controlled intersection and that that'd
be fine, too. So

379
00:27:24,799 --> 00:27:30,480
is that is that doable do you think by
end of this year?

380
00:27:30,159 --> 00:27:34,720
» Yeah,
>> I would try to think so. So

381
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:40,480
yeah,
>> any questions from the council for Tom?

382
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:43,440
» A couple other things if you don't they
got a few minutes so it's not quite 10

383
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,120
yet but
>> on this on this are you good with this

384
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,960
layout here. Any more questions on that?
So,

385
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,159
and once we get the layout finalized,
I'll come back with a resolution to

386
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:58,000
participate memo again because we're
there with some city costs with all the

387
00:27:55,679 --> 00:28:01,679
sidewalk stuff in here. So, I'll be back
in probably a couple months with a

388
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:06,320
resolution to participate all the costs
figured out with our TA funding and then

389
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:12,240
the city's portion of that match and
everything else on here. So, that'll be

390
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:16,399
up coming up next. Let's see here.
Um,

391
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,600
you might know some of the trees in
town. There's a couple trees that are we

392
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,960
planted this summer that are in kind of
bad spots. They're close to some signs.

393
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,320
So, I'll be looking at maybe maybe
moving a couple of trees or maybe move

394
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:30,000
some of the signs. There's not that
many, but like half a dozen that you

395
00:28:28,399 --> 00:28:33,520
drive through town are are going to grow
and get bigger and are too close to

396
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,520
signs. So, we're to get some of those
adjusted. It's pretty minor. Really no

397
00:28:35,919 --> 00:28:42,240
impacted pelican. Just let you know what
we're doing to those those trees. Maybe

398
00:28:39,919 --> 00:28:45,760
may maybe get them removed. So Brian is
happier. So [laughter]

399
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,520
that one, that dead one on the cell
phone probably be removed.

400
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:50,559
» I was going to say the dead one,
>> that dead one might probably be removed

401
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:53,760
completely, but there's a few that we're
going to be adjusting. And then probably

402
00:28:52,399 --> 00:28:58,000
last thing you guys might have
mentioned, there's a a crosswalk up here

403
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,960
to 108 West. Maybe you guys know about
that crosswalk that showed up in there.

404
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,279
So
>> with that,

405
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:08,399
» so not a big deal, but I know we just
need a permit to install them on on

406
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,440
highways. Normally crosswalks are not
allowed in speeds are over 45 miles an

407
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:15,440
hour. So that's one issue we have to
look at if it's even allowed there. So

408
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:21,679
once you get the permit, we'll tear into
it and make a decision whether to leave

409
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:25,760
it or get it put in properly. So we like
like all of our striping you ground in

410
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,279
different kind of p striping in there
and the right width and the right

411
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:35,679
pattern that doesn't have the right men
up pattern we want. So nothing too major

412
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:40,000
but we'll get get squared away. So
with that I think all my notes are are

413
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:43,200
checked off. So,
>> anything else you guys got for me?

414
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,960
» The council.
>> Tom, I know it's not your idea. You

415
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:51,760
know, it's not going to change, but that
80% thing with the speed limit.

416
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,240
The first time I heard that, I couldn't
believe it.

417
00:29:52,399 --> 00:29:57,760
» Yeah. Yeah. We've done a lot of studies
over the years and

418
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,799
» and they rarely go down. Most time they
go up, which that's why you got to be

419
00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:03,039
careful. We ask for them.
>> So,

420
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:06,640
» cuz it's too fast down there. There's
kids trying to cross.

421
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:10,640
» Yeah. And that's why we we look at road
diet designing to slow people down, you

422
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:14,960
know, with more curb and gutter center
medians, stuff like that that people see

423
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,559
stuff and they slow down. That that's a
fact. So roundabout would be great there

424
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,880
to slow people down, but we just can't
justify spending that kind of money

425
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,960
there.
>> At least you mentioned it again.

426
00:30:22,399 --> 00:30:26,000
» I'm sorry.
>> At least you mentioned it again.

427
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,440
» Yeah, it's something we, you know, we'd
like to see. You know, I'm a big

428
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:32,240
roundabout proponent for safety and
everything else involved with it, but

429
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:36,480
they're they're really expensive.
They've gotten really expensive. It's

430
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:41,279
like two like two to two and a half
million dollars to build a roundabout

431
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:46,399
nowadays, which is a lot of money. So,
we're in a, you know, a budget shortfall

432
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,480
like everybody else is. So,
yeah,

433
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,000
» 2 and a2 million seems like a lot for
some.

434
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,039
» It is a lot.
>> It's like doesn't make any sense.

435
00:30:51,679 --> 00:30:56,399
» There's a lot of concrete. There's a lot
of stuff in there. And, you know,

436
00:30:54,799 --> 00:31:01,600
there's a lot of lot more than we think.
Everything has gone up, you know, a lot

437
00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:07,840
over the last couple years. So,
>> so short of short of a traffic study,

438
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:13,600
the state obviously has the ability to
monitor uh cell phones traveling in an

439
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:17,120
area. Are they able to look and see what
the cell phones how fast they're moving

440
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,200
down in that area?
>> Absolutely.

441
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:25,039
you to give us an idea that way sort of
I'll talk to a traffic engineer and they

442
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,240
say they have some website they go to
and they they can see all the real data

443
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:32,240
of all the cell phones and they just
track them and it's it's all public

444
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:36,559
information but I have no idea how to do
it but they do it so yeah I'll get that

445
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,760
for you be fun I'll send it to Lance and
the mayor to see what the average speeds

446
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,600
are down there so I have to it's a good
idea so

447
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:43,919
» let us know when they're going to do it
we'll sit down there for a while

448
00:31:43,451 --> 00:31:51,240
[laughter]
>> go faster or go slow

449
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,240
I'll write that down. So,

450
00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:58,519
» well, I like to do stuff like that. So,
>> thank you.

451
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:58,519
» You betcha.

452
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,600
» Good.
>> So, we'll see you in a couple months

453
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,840
» or sooner.
>> Oh, sure. Okay. [laughter]

454
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,919
» Or both. So,
>> all right.

455
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:16,039
» Let's go up to item number five, street
and park report. Superintendent Olson.

456
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,120
finally got to you.
>> I know. I'm going to quit betting with

457
00:32:23,679 --> 00:32:32,080
Todd on how you're going to go in order
because I seem to be losing.

458
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:38,399
» Um let's see the the streets. So, we've
got about 90% of the no parking signs

459
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:44,000
in. We were short a few uh boulevard
anchors. So, you we should get those

460
00:32:41,919 --> 00:32:50,000
completed tomorrow. then they'll all be
up. Ordinance is enforced.

461
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:55,279
They can do what they need. Um,
>> how's that been working out, Chief?

462
00:32:52,640 --> 00:33:02,080
» Good. We're still in the uh educational
phase as far as just warnings. So,

463
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:07,120
» good. Um, been doing a lot of tree
trimming on many various streets. We uh

464
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:13,360
we've done some and some of the larger
stuff we've obviously been hiring out in

465
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,240
which we need to continue to to budget
for that because we've got some

466
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:23,440
lowhanging branches on some of these
streets, but I think that'll be fine. Um

467
00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:28,080
sweeping, fixing
asphalt, patching valve covers, fixing

468
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:33,600
everything that that's been broke over
the over the summer and part of the

469
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:39,039
spring. Um, household hazardous waste
was still busy this year. I It just

470
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:44,559
amazes me the amount of paint that
people bring in year after year after

471
00:33:42,559 --> 00:33:50,240
year after year. I'm like, where where
are you finding all this? Just But every

472
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:53,760
year it just comes in. Um, we will be
starting our annual sewer cleaning uh

473
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:59,760
first part of September. Just so you
know, if um that's how cleaning cleaning

474
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:05,039
sewers and uh different neighborhoods,
different sections. Um all of our

475
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:10,000
patches have been patched up this year
finally. Uh took a while to get uh get a

476
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,879
company here to do them, but they've all
been done. Um hydrant flushing this

477
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:21,040
year. It's a I'm announcing a little
early, but I'm obviously planned it out.

478
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:25,679
uh Sunday, October 4th from 7:00 am to 3
pm. And the alternative if weather

479
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:30,960
doesn't cooperate that day will be the
following Sunday.

480
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,879
And again, we do this on Sundays because
of the turkey plant is their slowest

481
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:41,839
time and we can get through and and not
affect their their water usage.

482
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,879
Uh let's see. Parks and stuff, it's that
time of the year. all the summer help

483
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:51,839
starting. They're all done at the end of
this week going back to their their fall

484
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:56,399
lives and uh so it's been it's been a
fairly good year. Uh campgrounds

485
00:34:54,079 --> 00:35:00,240
continues to be steady. I I'm interested
to see the numbers at the end of the

486
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:04,079
year the longer the season goes because
I really feel like it's been kind of

487
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:06,880
down this year. not as busy as it had
been and I thought maybe it would be

488
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:13,119
busier this year with no construction,
no no anything, but it uh we'll we'll

489
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,400
see at the end of the year. Um planned
on that being open till about

490
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:20,800
mid-occtober usually through October
Fest and then we'll close that for the

491
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:25,520
season. Um
couple parks, one specifically has

492
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:30,720
received a lot of damage. Um I'm working
with the park board on that. another

493
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:34,640
we've lost I believe three trees um that
people have donated over the years

494
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:39,440
through our memorial and they get a
plaque and um so I'm trying to work with

495
00:35:37,839 --> 00:35:44,079
the park board to see what the best idea
is there but we'll continue and I'll

496
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:49,440
keep you posted on that. Um, we have
also recently lost one in Peterson Park,

497
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:53,040
which was was rare that nobody has
touched these trees for 2 years and now

498
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,920
all of a sudden they decide. But it is
the time of the year also where

499
00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,800
everybody's getting a little
rambunctious. Um, and we plan, we will

500
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:04,640
be planning to replant these trees in
the next month or so. I'm waiting just

501
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:09,760
for it to get a little cooler before we
do that. Um,

502
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:15,760
pool is closed for the season. It closed
last Sunday. Um, I think they had a a a

503
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:22,880
good year. I'm I'm excited for to see
next year's numbers compared to this

504
00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:31,680
year, but um we had for the whole month
uh for the whole year that we had 3,365

505
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:37,520
passes between well, there was there was
uh just daily passes was 30,02.

506
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:45,680
So that's just people paying daily
throughout the summer. Um, the stat that

507
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:53,280
still just gets me every time is 2,357
freeze pops were sold. It just throws me

508
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:57,119
off. I I just And and 2385
ice cream sandwiches. It It just I'm

509
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:01,599
like, "Wow, maybe I don't know what to
do, but they just like them." So, it's

510
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:06,880
kind of been a good deal. Um,
also the goggles, 176 pair of goggles.

511
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:11,040
Couldn't keep them in stock for a while
and was it was exciting. you know, it's

512
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:15,440
good. But so, yeah, that uh I think we
had a good summer. Um I'm going to be

513
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:20,000
meeting with Ally to kind of go over the
whole thing here next week and uh see

514
00:37:17,839 --> 00:37:25,680
what uh hopefully can talk her into
another season and see what we can do

515
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:31,040
better and what we need to change same
stay the same. So,

516
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:35,119
that is what I have for you tonight.
>> Any questions?

517
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,920
» Reference those trees. Mindot's going to
be removing trees. Can we just get them

518
00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:41,760
to stick them in a different hole?
>> The ones they're removing are dead.

519
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,240
» Oh, they're all dead. I didn't know.
>> Yeah, they're dead.

520
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,480
» Some are in the way of the signs. If
they keep growing, they're not going to

521
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,119
keep growing,
>> right? The these are these are done

522
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,359
growing.
>> Okay.

523
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:56,320
» So, yeah.
>> Any questions for Brian?

524
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,000
» If not, is there a motion to approve the
street and park report?

525
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,359
» So, move.
>> Second.

531
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:21,440
» Down to item number nine. Mileage rate.
Uh 76 cents. Uh Danielle.

532
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:31,680
Yeah.
>> Um so, uh the beginning of

533
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:37,599
um July, the IRS changed the
mileage rate from 72 1.5 cents to 76

534
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:41,920
cents.
So, I just wanted to [clears throat]

535
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:46,800
update
um

536
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:54,160
suggest updating our reimbursement
from 72 1/2 cents up to 76 cents.

537
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:56,320
» Hear a motion.
>> So move.

538
00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:00,079
» Second.
>> I'll second that then.

539

» Motion second. Discussion. How would
that be used? We're

540
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:09,040
» How do we use it?
>> Who would use that the most? Well, like

541
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:14,079
right now we don't have a vehicle. City
Hall doesn't have a vehicle. So, anytime

542
00:39:11,599 --> 00:39:18,800
Lance goes to meetings off site or I go
to meetings off site or every day Jana

543
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:25,760
runs to the banks when uses her personal
car. So, any any of that kind of stuff

544
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:27,280
anytime anybody goes to trainings
>> that kind of stuff.

545
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,359
» Yep.
>> Any more discussion

546
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:35,440
hearing? None. All in favor signify by
saying I.

547
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:40,960
» I was the same. Motion carried. Item
number 10, city hall vehicle. Lance,

548
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:45,040
» on that note, we're looking at a city
hall vehicle that so we don't have to

549
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:49,599
pay mileage to people.
If you remember, we had we had an old

550
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:54,720
squad car for many years for a city hall
vehicle. Um had complaints. I mean, it's

551
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:58,160
they're old. Uh they're noisy. Uh
they're not in very good condition after

552
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:01,680
the
um police are done with them. So, we

553
00:40:00,079 --> 00:40:06,960
ended up selling that one. And well, we
ended up selling those two squads. Um,

554
00:40:05,599 --> 00:40:11,200
so we haven't had a city vol hall
vehicle now for many, many months. Um,

555
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:16,480
we This one's at Saks Motors. Um, it's a
2014 Chevy Equinox.

556
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:24,400
Got about 160,000 on it. Um, but it's in
good shape. Uh, we sold the two

557
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:30,320
squads and and have the money about a
little over $6,500 that we have. This

558
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:35,440
vehicle will be roughly 6,700 somewhere
a little more than that with um the fees

559
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:38,560
and things. So, we have that money. We'd
have that extra $200 or whatever we need

560
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:44,000
in the general budget. So, I'm just
looking for approval to make this

561
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:49,000
purchase for a city hall vehicle.
>> You're looking for a motion to approve

562
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,000
that purchase.

563
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:57,119
» We have a motion. Is there a second?
>> I'll second that.

564
00:40:54,160 --> 00:41:00,720
» Motion second. Discussion.
Discussion.

565
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,359
Discussion.
Hearing none. All in favor signify by

566
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:08,960
saying I.
>> I was the same. Motion carried. Anything

567
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:14,160
else on that, Lance?
>> Nope. Okay, we'll move item number 11,

568
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:19,200
rental licensing update. That's just an
FYI, Danielle.

569
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:24,800
» Yeah, I just wanted to let council know
that um

570
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:32,079
we member council approved changing the
licensing dates from December

571
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:42,319
um 31st. we change them to and end July
31st. So, as of August 1st, we had um 33

572
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:49,200
land or um property owners that were not
in compliance, did not have the new

573
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:55,359
license. So, they were sent um a bill
for their $500 penalty.

574
00:41:52,240 --> 00:42:00,720
Um and so they have received that. Now,
we've heard from a couple of them. And

575
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:08,319
then um I don't know if you noticed on
the police report, but they 32 of them

576
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:15,920
were cited for operating without their
rental housing license. So if you hear

577
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:18,720
any grumbling about it, you know why.
>> What was the fee?

578
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:23,680
» The penalty
>> Yeah.

579
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:27,520
» was $500. But we had it had been $100
and then we've upped it this last year

580
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:32,760
because
we weren't getting anywhere with the

581
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,760
$100. So

582
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:40,640
» any questions from the council?
>> What happens next if they don't follow

583
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:47,359
through?
>> Well,

584
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:51,800
the ticket is a mandatory court, so they
have to go to court. Um,

585
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:59,440
we have heard from some people. So, some
of them are getting their stuff done.

586
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:04,240
Some of them we've heard nothing from
yet. So, we're I mean, we're hoping that

587
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:08,880
once they get the ticket and the bill,
at least it'll

588
00:43:06,319 --> 00:43:13,280
spark a conversation. So, some of them
we've heard nothing from yet. So,

589
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:17,359
hopefully
you said in the past that the $100

590
00:43:15,359 --> 00:43:20,480
didn't they didn't pay it or they
ignored it.

591
00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:24,160
It was getting to be to that point.
Yeah. Yep. So, we

592
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:27,280
» Yeah, we discussed it at council. I just
didn't have enough teeth at $100.

593
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:31,760
» Yeah.
>> So, 500 should get attention.

594
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,680
» Got my attention. I was late and didn't
know it.

595
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:39,520
» And then I got the letter and got paid.
>> Yep.

596
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:43,680
» And and we do hear a lot. I mean, you
know, we sent out the paperwork in April

597
00:43:41,839 --> 00:43:48,560
and then the next month we you know, we
sent out notices every single month

598
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:54,480
reminding people and well, we didn't get
it in the mail and all that stuff. But

599
00:43:51,440 --> 00:44:00,040
» I think maybe that's the case, but I did
get the notices. I can attest to that.

600
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,040
Um,

601
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:07,359
» how long can they go on operating if
they not licensed?

602
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:12,560
» Well, they have to go to court.
So, what'll what'll [clears throat] end

603
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:20,800
up happening um they'll end up going to
court um and at some point Wisconsin and

604
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:26,720
I'll have a conversation. Um
they've they've already been cited. They

605
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:32,079
may very well end up being cited again
because it's continues to be a

606
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:37,920
violation. Um but it'll kind of be on
the courts to decide what they're going

607
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:43,119
to do. Um
it's my understanding having had

608
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:48,240
conversation with Wisconsin that there
is no real mechanism for us to force

609
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:52,640
eviction.
So

610
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:57,200
» So if there was a catastrophe, we are
not liable.

611
00:44:54,800 --> 00:45:00,880
» I would agree.
Y

612
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:06,079
um but we'll continue to try and take
action and try and force the issue. I

613
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:10,960
will say on the five I will say on the
$500

614
00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:17,599
point um I will let you know that at
least one of the parties um that came in

615
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:23,119
seemed rather dismissive even about the
500 like oh okay I'll pay that you know

616
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:28,880
I mean it was um the same reaction you
would get with the $100 that it was it

617
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:33,200
was still more profitable to
operate and not be compliant.

618
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:40,079
M
>> so just u as this whole process plays

619
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:43,359
out be mindful
that might still be a future

620
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:49,839
conversation because there are other
neighboring dis districts well

621
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:57,359
neighboring uh cities that have a more
substantial than that but I assume that

622
00:45:54,400 --> 00:46:00,960
I assume that can be assessed
>> or no

623
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:04,480
» I have to look into it a little bit more
But

624
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:08,079
» yeah, so that's [clears throat] my
rental housing update.

625
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:14,640
» Any questions for Daniel?
>> Well, is this license

626
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:16,000
they have to meet certain criteria to be
able?

627
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:19,440
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.

628
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:25,280
» So, I suppose if somebody has to do a
lot of fixing up, $500 is an easy out.

629
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,200
What if they
>> Well, some of them some of them had to

630
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:33,280
get inspected and never got the
inspection completed. Some of them just

631
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:36,960
never turned their paperwork in, you
know. So, it's some of them are in

632
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:41,440
different because you only have to get
inspected every 3 years. So, some of

633
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:46,319
them are in different
um spots in their three-year process.

634
00:46:43,839 --> 00:46:52,480
So, they're not all necessarily in the
same boat. Some of them were inspected

635
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:57,040
once and never got everything completed.
Some of them waited until, you know,

636
00:46:54,640 --> 00:47:01,359
like we sent out the paperwork in April
and then we didn't hear from them until

637
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:08,560
July. Well, by that time, Sid's pretty
booked to do inspections and then um you

638
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:15,520
know, we hear from hardly anybody in May
and June, but July is when everybody

639
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:19,520
wants to schedule it. So,
so yeah,

640
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:23,200
» but how could it be profitable for
somebody just to pay the $500? They got

641
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:31,280
to fix it anyway.
>> Yeah. Well, if they I suppose multiple

642
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:35,319
units if they've got a lot of units.
>> Any other questions for Danielle?

643
00:47:36,079 --> 00:47:43,599
» Okay. Hearing none, we'll move on. Item
number 12 is ordinance 2026-05,

644
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:49,920
which is in your packet. And there's
also a bullet point there about tenant

645
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:54,319
complaint form. These are just FYIs, but
Lance is going to speak to these. Lance?

646
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:58,480
» Yeah, these will be the first look at
these. Um, ordinance committee has been

647
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:03,760
busy. This is all to do with chapter 10
tonight. So, this first section we'll

648
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:07,920
talk about here is what's
already been in ordinance. It's just

649
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:12,560
some some minor changes. If you
remember, we looked we uh probably last

650
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:15,440
fall, we actually looked at chapter 10
and we changed those dates that we

651
00:48:13,839 --> 00:48:22,720
talked about like the inspection dates
for rentals and things. We changed it

652
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:24,720
from the spring um or from actually from
>> fall

653
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:29,040
» fall
>> to basically spring and into summer

654
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:32,880
where we can get the inspections done
with nice weather. So there's no excuses

655
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:37,599
there about not being able to do things
outside when it's poor weather. Um

656
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:41,359
basically that that was the changes then
that we made. Um that was that and then

657
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:45,359
there was one little de definition
change but now

658
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,200
um there's minor changes now that we
went through everything. Um the first

659
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:55,200
paragraph is just kind of some lawyer
language to add add to that. Um and then

660
00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:58,720
some other places where we referenced he
and him and all that. So we just changed

661
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:05,280
that to all the there and they and
things like that. Um

662
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:08,559
one other thing I just wanted to point
out.

663
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:14,720
So, while we were going through this
ordinance, we we found where

664
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,559
in subdivision five here, it says any
person agreed by an unlawful practice

665
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:23,599
prohibited by this ordinance may file a
complaint with the city. So, we found

666
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:26,960
out that yeah, you can they can come if
they're if they go to the landlord and

667
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:30,720
they're not and and the landlord's not
doing anything about an issue, they can

668
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:34,559
come to the city. Well, we really didn't
have a process in place to make that

669
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,680
happen. So, that's where that tenant
complaint form came in. So, the tenant

670
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,800
complaint form is actually brand new.
That's that was in the packet. You can

671
00:49:39,119 --> 00:49:48,680
look that over. It just it kind of lays
out the process that of that complaint.

672
00:49:44,240 --> 00:49:48,680
So, that is new. Um,

673
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:55,440
and then I don't know that there's
really anything else to point out that

674
00:49:53,440 --> 00:50:00,079
was changed in this ordinance. So, this
there was a little more lawyer language

675
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:03,119
here that he added. Um, otherwise the
tenant complaint form is all kind of

676
00:50:01,599 --> 00:50:10,440
brand new and it kind of just lays out
what's in the ordinance. So if there's

677
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:10,440
any questions on this part of it

678
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:18,559
or anything else to add from ordinance
committee members that are here

679
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:22,880
and chief quite anything
that's

680
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:28,559
cover it all
nothing of substance I would say there's

681
00:50:25,119 --> 00:50:32,684
just small small tweaks and this is all
for long-term rental this is for

682
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,704
anything that's 30 days or for
[clears throat]

683
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,520
any questions.

684
00:50:40,319 --> 00:50:43,720
Okay, none.

685
00:50:46,319 --> 00:50:53,119
Move on. Item number 13, ordinance
2026-06.

686
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:57,760
And it's also related to short-term
rental application. That's also an FYI,

687
00:50:56,079 --> 00:51:01,280
Lance.
>> Yeah. So, this is basically an addition

688
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:05,599
to chapter 10. So, this is all brand
new. We we never had a short-term rental

689
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:12,280
any kind of language in there pertaining
to that before. So, this is all new. Um,

690
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,280
just some things to point out.

691
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:19,760
Um, in the language, it'll say where
will we allow we won't issue more than

692
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:23,599
eight short-term licenses as of right
now. Um, we kind of discussed that if

693
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:28,319
things are going well in the future and
we can think we can allow more, that's

694
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:33,839
certainly easily changeable right there.
Um, another one is not issue more than

695
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:37,839
two um, licenses to the same person or
entity.

696
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:42,319
And then it also kind of goes on that I
mean they're allowed in residential if

697
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:47,359
commercial um, they need to go through
an SUP process in order to be approved.

698
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:51,920
Um, so I just want to point out so we
have some in in we have some short-term

699
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:56,000
rentals out there right now. So we
haven't had an ordinance or anything

700
00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:01,359
regulating them at all. So, like say the
Mo motel up there has three I believe

701
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:07,200
that are short-term rentals and then the
one downtown that just opened is in

702
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:13,200
commercial. So, basically those would be
um I don't say grandfathered in, but

703
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:16,559
they'd be a legal non-conforming use
since there was no ordinance when they

704
00:52:14,720 --> 00:52:21,599
were established and they're running.
They would be allowed now as a legal

705
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:24,720
non-conforming use. So, so like the
motel, we say in the ordinance that

706
00:52:23,359 --> 00:52:28,240
they're only allowed two while they have
three. Well, they're they're all right.

707
00:52:26,559 --> 00:52:31,359
And the one downtown commercial, they
don't have to go through the SU process

708
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:35,520
or anything like that. It's allowed. So,
>> but they can't add anymore either,

709
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:38,319
» right? Yeah. If they were, but
>> Yeah. So, if another one come wants to

710
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:41,520
come in the commercial zone or
something, they have to go through the

711
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:46,520
SUP process and get approved if they
want it. Is it three or four

712
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:52,720
» for what? The follow the motel. Uh maybe
it was

713
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,359
» here nor there.
>> It might be four actually. Yeah,

714
00:52:54,720 --> 00:53:00,880
» that all four of them or three,
whichever the number is will count

715
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:04,800
against the eight. Even though it's
non-conforming,

716
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:09,880
» they will all count against our total
until you change the total.

717
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:18,160
And then all of these will be inspected
at the same time frame for inspections

718
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:23,920
and things as the long-term. We kept it
all the same. So that and that'd be the

719
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:30,280
same inspections, same requirements, um
same timeline, all of that.

720
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,280
Um

721
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:39,200
and then you can see at the end here we
have the new application to go with it.

722
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:46,920
So the application just basically just
follows every all the ordinance language

723
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:46,920
what's required all that. So

724
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:56,839
um there's anything else to add from
anybody else or any questions?

725
00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:56,839
Ordinance committee have anything else?

726
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:03,440
Any other comments from the council?
That's all you had in that lance?

727
00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:07,920
» Yes.
>> Okay. Thank you.
