[3:37] All in favor signify by saying I. >> I.
[3:39] » I. The same. Motion carried. Let's jump down to item number eight. U EDA update.
[3:46] And we have uh economic development director Jordan Gman. and she's joining
[3:51] us online this evening. There's uh three bullet points to talk about. Uh the
[3:57] first one is update of the board structure which is just an FYI. The
[4:01] second one bylaws which will need a motion and the third one is the 2027
[4:06] CEDA contract which is just an FYI. So Jordan take it away.
[4:13] » Perfect. Can everybody hear me? Okay. >> Yes.
[4:17] » Great. Let's see. We will start with the updated board structure
[4:26] that chamber transition presentation slide.
[4:34] I can't see it, but if you Okay, great. Sounds good. Um, if we want to scroll
[4:38] through this here
[4:43] a little bit, we can keep going.
[4:48] Keep going.
[4:53] Keep going. This one works. Okay. So, um just to
[4:58] give you a little context, um the chamber has been seeking votes from
[5:04] members as far as what the future looks like. The chamber has received enough
[5:09] votes to move forward with the dissolution. They're doing that separate
[5:12] from the city with their own legal counsel as recommended by the city
[5:17] attorney. Um but a quick update for you is to what that means we're going to
[5:22] look like come January. Um and hopefully a little before then is um increasing
[5:28] our capacity at the board level with the EDA. Right now we have a five member
[5:33] board which is great and we have a good turnout the majority of the time but
[5:38] we're looking at increasing our board membership to nine members. As you can
[5:43] see um on this slide our thought process is we will have a chair person
[5:51] essentially for certain areas of community development. So, for example,
[5:56] we would have community events, more than likely chaired by Lana, who's
[6:00] currently on the EDA board. Marketing and tourism would be a chair um person
[6:06] who would be new to the EDA board. Business support we can find within our
[6:10] current board structure. Um and I think there'll be more buckets of focus areas
[6:16] that will get assigned to anybody who's interested. Um, but I believe with the
[6:22] way that we're moving and shifting and towards programming in 2027, there is a
[6:27] need to increase our board size to nine members. Um, this is the best slide I
[6:33] could show you to present why. Wondering if there's any questions or feedback or
[6:38] concerns from any of you. >> Any questions from the council?
[6:43] See none, Jordan. >> Okay. So, there's your update there on
[6:48] what we're what we're hoping to do and I think we can transition right into
[6:51] bylaws. >> Yes.
[6:55] » Um
[7:00] Lance a sec here. Perfect. Um in red um are the updates to
[7:09] our um active bylaws. There's very minimal. Um and I just put them in red
[7:15] for you to see. We're looking to update the bylaws. This is a recommendation
[7:18] from the EDA board um with very minimal um grammatical updates as well as um
[7:26] explaining in the bylaws that the authority the economic development
[7:29] authority will be a board of nine officers.
[7:33] And then if we scroll down a little bit further,
[7:39] [cough]
[7:42] the only other update we have here is the section 3 quorum that now quorum
[7:48] will be five people instead of what we originally had which was three. And
[7:53] those are the only um updates that look different than previously with these
[7:58] bylaws. So, I am looking for a motion to um
[8:03] accept the revised EDA bylaws. >> Hear a motion.
[8:08] » I'll make that motion. >> We have a motion. Is there a second?
[8:10] » Second. >> Motion and a second. Discussion.
[8:14] Discussion. Discussion. Hearing none. All in favor
[8:18] signify by saying I. >> I. The same. Motion carried.
[8:24] » Great. Thank you. And lastly, just [clears throat] um a discussion piece if
[8:28] there is discussion. If there isn't, that's okay. Um right now, I know the
[8:32] budget committee is working on finalizing or getting closer to
[8:36] finalizing what um the 2027 city of Pelican Rapids budget looks like
[8:43] due to this board structure change and what we imagine will be programming um
[8:49] added on to current programming that the CAD team provides. Um we're planning and
[8:57] hoping that we can increase our um service level from four days a week to
[9:03] five. Of course, the budget committee isn't doing uh isn't done doing their
[9:09] job, but I wanted to just get this in front of the city council. I think in
[9:13] order to have a swift and smooth um transition with more services being
[9:19] underneath the EDA um it's essential that we have enough capacity and time to
[9:24] be able to do it well. That way things are improved in the future. Um at CEDA
[9:30] we're getting very close to updating um our numbers so I can have a a financial
[9:36] update for you with what that investment would cost. I've shared with Lance and
[9:40] Danielle that right now um I'm asking for people to plan for a 5% increase.
[9:45] Fairly confident that we'll come in underneath that, but I think it's better
[9:48] to tell you five and come in lower than tell you two and come in higher. So, um
[9:54] I'm happy to have discussion if there is any discussion points at the city
[9:58] council level. Otherwise, they just wanted this to be an update so you know
[10:01] where we're at with all of the news going around about the chamber and so on
[10:07] and so forth. So happy to have discussion, happy to answer any
[10:11] questions if there are any. >> Any questions, council?
[10:17] » No questions, Jordan. >> Okay, that's all I have for you this
[10:21] evening. >> Okay, thank you for joining us.
[10:24] » Thank you. >> Let's go up to item number seven. Um the
[10:33] time is 6:10 p.m. We're going to recess our city council meeting and go into the
[10:39] SCDP public hearing and we have um Mr. Mitch Harry here to speak to us this
[10:45] evening. Uh remember during our public hearing there cannot be any motions made
[10:50] uh just discussion at that point and then we'll reconvene our council meeting
[10:54] later. Mitch.
[10:59] » Hi, I'm Mitch Harry, a project manager with the county HR. I'm just going to
[11:04] give you a quick update on the small cities development program progress.
[11:09] So, we started our first project um June 23rd of 25, so a little over a year. Um
[11:16] so far, we have five on the owner occupied side, residential. We have five
[11:20] complete projects um [clears throat] totaling $117,49.80
[11:26] of Small Cities um development grant money. Uh we have four projects in
[11:31] progress right now um all maxing out the 25,000. So that'll be another 100,000
[11:37] and I have three getting bids um that I anticipate will all use the the 25,000.
[11:42] So that'll be another 75. Um what we had earmarked for owner occupied originally
[11:48] was $425,000. Um so we're committed to just over
[11:53] $300,000 at this point. Um ideally we'll get all that spent. Um so the deadline
[11:59] we have to be complete and closed out by September 30th of 27. Um so I think
[12:05] that's very doable. If we get maybe five more residential projects in the next
[12:10] year, we'll we'll have that complete. Um, in addition, there's been just under
[12:17] $22,000 of the county leverage loans available.
[12:22] We have an additional $7,000 available through the county. Um, if somebody's
[12:27] project goes over that 25,000. So, we had a few take advantage of that.
[12:31] [clears throat] Um, on the commercial side, it's been quite a bit slower. Um,
[12:35] we have one project in progress that is looking to be done here in the next two,
[12:40] three weeks. Um, I have one that that we're going to get started um probably
[12:45] the next two, three weeks as well. That one is only going to take the minimum.
[12:49] It's a $5,000 minimum loan. Um, they're only going to use the minimum on that.
[12:55] Um, the other project is just a shade over 32,000.
[12:59] So, originally we had 400,000 in for commercial and right now we're at just
[13:03] over 37,000. Um, so about $360,000 remaining um on the commercial side.
[13:11] We've talked internally and with our state representative indeed. We have the
[13:17] opportunity and we will look at doing that maybe in the spring to move some of
[13:22] that commercial money into owner occupied. Uh you can't go the other way,
[13:26] but we can take some of that if we see the demand for additional residential
[13:30] projects. We can move over um once or twice some money if if the
[13:35] need is there. So, we've thought about doing that. Um, and other than that,
[13:40] unless anybody has any questions, that's about about it for the update.
[13:47] » Council have any questions? >> Okay, sounds good.
[13:51] » Okay, thank you. Appreciate it. >> Uh, the time is 6:13 uh 6:14
[13:59] p.m. We're going to adjourn our public hearing at this time and reconvene our
[14:04] city council meeting. Um,
[14:09] we already had our public hearing on SCDP. Are there any comments at this
[14:13] point? There's no motions to be made, but give you another chance if there's
[14:16] any comments. Okay, hearing none, we're going to jump
[14:20] up to item number six, 2028 Highway 59 South Project. We have Mr. Tom Pace here
[14:26] from District 4 office in Detroit Lakes. And he wanted to be out of here by 1000
[14:32] p.m. So, >> well, I'll start. I'll talk quick. only
[14:36] got four hours, but thank you, Mr. Mayor, City Council. It's always a
[14:39] pleasure coming down to see you fine folks. So, thought I'd come down and
[14:43] give you an update on I guess the layout, the next piece of the of uh next
[14:48] project in line for Mandot. Um, this see here is an updated layout actually
[14:54] actually just finished this morning actually, so pretty, you know, hot off
[14:57] the presses. I'm basically looking at adding center left turn lanes down there
[15:02] at at 10th Avenue. You know, as as all know here, it's kind of a busy
[15:07] intersection. A lot of left turns and and been a couple crashes down there and
[15:11] some some near misses. So, we're looking at trying to add some left turns down
[15:15] the center just to make it safer down there. And one it was it was suggested
[15:19] quite a few times to add add a roundabout in there, but that's just not
[15:22] really feasible. It's pretty expensive and doesn't quite
[15:26] justify the, you know, the $2.5 million to put a roundabout in down there. So,
[15:31] and the rightway environmental issues that would would be would work. So, this
[15:36] design we think is going to make it pretty efficient down there. Um, I'll
[15:40] just walk over here to probably hear me, but yeah, we're just going to add a left
[15:44] turn lane down the middle. Similar as the downtown corridor, we have 259
[15:49] northbound. still have a right turn lane going in into tent. Um southbound
[15:55] or take away that right turn lane as they are now just have a through lane to
[15:59] go southbound. Right turners can still turn pretty easily. We go on to 10th. Um
[16:06] on the north west I still have our 4ft sidewalk
[16:10] all the way on the down to the 12th I believe. On the east side, we're going
[16:16] to move that wide pavement in front of the gas station. That's going to be a
[16:21] concrete shared path in that section there. So, it's going to be a pretty
[16:25] nice improvement for that downtown piece south of town there. So, I know most of
[16:29] you have seen this layout before, >> but that's just something that we added.
[16:33] Excuse me. One thing that we are we're also looking at doing is know Thrive
[16:38] Church here. I met Justin a few months ago and he's suggesting or made a
[16:44] suggestion to move his uh driveway from where it is here to line up with 11th
[16:51] Avenue Southeast. So we would would remove this one and then build one over
[16:56] there. So that would be a good fit, you know, for traffic I guess efficiencies.
[17:03] I guess his complaint was that his parking lot is unsafe during church
[17:07] services. people are driving, where people are walking and so he's
[17:12] he made the suggestion. So now one caveat about that is mendot would only
[17:17] go up to a rightway line. >> So anything about that would be on the
[17:21] city to to do. So that's kind of why and I talked with you know Lance a while ago
[17:27] just to bring it to her to your attention. So that's one thing I like
[17:30] tonight. Maybe some direction from the city council is if that's a feasible
[17:34] option to move that approach or leave it where it is. So I know it's uh kind of a
[17:40] big big undertaking if the city wanted to do that or someone to do it. I know
[17:44] that that's a city street going west and as mentioned maybe that'd be a good spot
[17:48] for a future development if there was a crossing there, but that's beyond what
[17:53] Mandot would would do. So it's kind of an odd spot now. I mean
[17:58] it's a it would take some work to get an approach built in there,
[18:03] » you know. So it's >> Lance or Brian's as church talked to you
[18:07] about that? >> Uh Lance and I have discussed it. So
[18:10] Tom, the yellow line or the green line, excuse me, is the rightway line.
[18:14] » Correct. Yep. The green line is right line.
[18:17] » So we wouldn't have to develop a whole lot beyond that to give them access.
[18:22] » No, I wouldn't I wouldn't think so. >> Um
[18:25] » No. And Bob is still looking into what we need to do for utilities there. It
[18:28] would make sense at this point to stub them out cuz I mean that is technically
[18:31] a city street right now. So if ever anything ever were to develop on the
[18:35] west there, we'd we'd want those >> and that now would be the time to do it.
[18:39] So >> the utilities aren't stubbed out there,
[18:43] are they? >> No, we we stubbed them out. They're on
[18:45] that side, but we just have to stub them out to to the west. Uh my second
[18:50] question is how come you took the right turn lane out at 10th going south
[18:54] » to make room for the through lane going because we had moved the through lane
[18:59] over to the west to make room for the center left turn lane
[19:05] with with our new design. So in order to keep the right turn lane next to it
[19:09] we'll be taking down more trees and there'd be a lot more impacts to the
[19:14] businesses on the west side by keeping right turn lane in there. The current
[19:18] right turn lane will basically will be the southbound through lane
[19:22] » if that makes sense. >> Yeah, that just doesn't make sense.
[19:24] Traffic goes so fast down there >> that now you're going to take away that
[19:28] lane and they're going to be flying past the people that are taking a left and I
[19:33] I think that's that's not a safe option. Honestly, that's my opinion. I really
[19:38] think you need to figure out how to get that right turn lane in. There's many
[19:41] people that go that way there at 10 to the west.
[19:44] » Yeah. In order to add a right turn lane in there, we're going to be taking a lot
[19:47] more trees. We're going to be >> Where would you be taking trees?
[19:50] » Oh, everything you see on the picture. I'm I can't see.
[19:53] » No, I'm I'm looking. >> Sorry. I walk over here, but imagine all
[19:58] this up here 14 ft over. >> Yeah.
[20:01] » Just to the west. We got a big ditch in here.
[20:03] » I get water through there. This is all going to be basically up to here. Maybe
[20:07] that's not going to be by right. Just put a right turn in.
[20:10] » I understand. But there's a right turn left and right on the northbound.
[20:15] » There's a there's a northbound left right turn lane and a southbound right
[20:18] turn lane. So left turners are causing the issues. I sat down there myself
[20:22] today and I saw three cars go around the left turners into the right turn and
[20:26] back in. >> So that is a very unsafe movement.
[20:29] » It absolutely is. I just I don't I don't know that that's a somehow try to get
[20:34] that in there cuz it's they're unless they're going to reduce
[20:39] speed down there which they never will. And that was going to be my question.
[20:43] Will they entertain that idea is to shift the speed limits further up.
[20:50] » Yeah, speed limits are based on 80% of the traveling public. So the only way to
[20:55] slow people down is if you sat down there all day and made them slow down,
[20:58] then they would go slower. But everything is based on 80% of the
[21:02] traveling speeds already. >> So, do they do speed studies?
[21:06] » We do them all the time. Yeah, we'll do a north north in town here after a job
[21:10] is completed probably next year here cuz that's speedy up there, too. So,
[21:15] » Mhm. >> Yeah. It's really hard to train.
[21:17] » Have they done one down here? >> Uh, yeah. If you ask for one and it's
[21:22] high, the speed speeds may go up. That's >> Well, I understand. But that that
[21:26] doesn't make any sense to me either. They these people make that decision
[21:29] down there where they drive 90 all the time.
[21:31] » Y >> not in rural America currently currently
[21:34] a common question. >> Currently a 40. Right.
[21:36] » Right. They're going 50 especially going south.
[21:39] » I mean not me but >> right.
[21:41] » No not not at all. [laughter]
[21:46] » No. It's a great question. You know obviously MA's not a enforcement agency.
[21:50] You know that's the guy standing to your right there. So and state for state
[21:53] patrol. But we by doing this you probably find out cars will go slower.
[21:59] » Cars probably will go slower based on narrow speed narrow lanes and you know
[22:04] exactly the goal win. So >> you told us that downtown. I haven't
[22:07] seen in fact >> that's not a selling point
[22:11] » in downtown speed eight miles per hour is less than a quarter project.
[22:16] » So we we actually track all cell phones going through there and the speeders
[22:19] have reduced the 27 miles per hour average speed between the roundabouts.
[22:23] really >> before they're upper 30s.
[22:26] » So yes, the speeds are reduced downtown >> maybe.
[22:29] » No, 100%. >> What's the blue line?
[22:33] » The blue line. >> The blue shading
[22:35] » boulevard. I think >> the blue shading. Yeah, that's a grass
[22:38] boulevard in between the sidewalk. >> So it's like
[22:41] » it's like one west >> one what? Yeah.
[22:44] » Yep. Good question. >> They're not planning to add any more
[22:47] street lights. >> The street lights are on the east side
[22:50] already. >> They're not moving. They're not putting
[22:52] any more over there. >> They were put over there in place of the
[22:55] project. So, planning for this job already. So,
[22:57] » they're not adding any on the west side. >> They are not.
[22:59] » Perfect. That was the question. >> Yeah. No need for speed lights.
[23:02] » We don't want any more close to the road.
[23:04] » Right. Right. >> Left turn lanes. They solve the problem
[23:09] on 59, but they don't solve the problem on 10th
[23:14] east or east or westbound. If you're trying to make a left-hand turn, it's
[23:18] still difficult >> with a left turn lane. Yeah,
[23:21] » we used to have a safe place to sit and took up a space to cross
[23:24] » and now people are driving around them on their shoulders.
[23:27] » And we we you've seen that, I'm sure, many times. And
[23:30] » he's talking about people coming off of tents trying to get on.
[23:32] » Oh, off the tent. Okay. >> Yeah.
[23:36] » Roundabouts. The only thing that would solve that.
[23:38] » To Tom's point, the people passing on the
[23:44] shoulder on the right causes the hazard for the people trying to get on off of
[23:48] town. >> They do, right? People think they're
[23:50] turning and they're not. >> It's a very scary deal. I saw that
[23:53] myself half hour ago or an hour ago. >> So, yeah, you're right. It's a long ways
[23:57] across, you know. So, it would make it safe to get into tent in that area.
[24:04] We have to look at maybe some more ped crossings, you know, maybe not right
[24:07] there, but we are putting a ped crossing on 10th on the north side. We have
[24:12] sidewalk and and marked crosswalk. There were signs and everything so they can
[24:17] get across. So, Yeah, it's hard to do do the best we
[24:22] can. You know, we can't make everybody [cough]
[24:26] that's been a complaint we've heard for quite a long time for this this area and
[24:30] this will definitely be an improvement. >> Are you looking for council action to
[24:35] accept these plans? >> Not really. Just more of information.
[24:39] » Justformational. >> Yeah. Okay.
[24:40] » This is this is basically what we're doing. Good comments, you know.
[24:43] » It's what they're doing. what we're doing, you know. So, this is this is
[24:47] what we would ask to do by pay people look at the center intersection.
[24:52] » The bike path through here, is that going to be a curb then? This red
[24:54] portion >> down here.
[24:55] » Yep. >> Yeah. Yeah.
[24:57] » And it's it's going to be concrete, the blue part.
[24:59] » Yep. >> Okay.
[24:59] » All be concrete. So, >> there probably some some sort of
[25:02] probably mountable curb, something in there next to that driving service.
[25:07] So coming out of South Town's parking lot heading north will be a curb there
[25:11] too. Going into the parking lot for >> for the school.
[25:15] » Going which way? This one? >> No. Down in down. No, down on the other
[25:18] street. That one. >> This one?
[25:19] » Yeah. The frontage road, whatever you call it. No, keep going north.
[25:23] » North of this one. >> Right there. That that'll be a curb
[25:27] » here. Yeah. >> But not where that line crosses that
[25:30] parking lot. >> No, not over there. No, that is a that
[25:33] line. >> Yeah. You'll see here that the driveway
[25:35] is being reduced in width. >> Right now it's it's really wide. It's
[25:39] like 60 ft wide. We're bringing it down to 36. So more of a normal normal width.
[25:44] So and this one here will take the same
[25:47] width. This is 36 ft wide. This one's probably look make it 36 ft wide.
[25:51] » That still make it functionable for all the trucks that pull in there.
[25:54] » Oh yeah. Yeah. >> Good.
[25:56] » Yeah. It's actually wire wire commercial. The commercial is 32 ft. So
[26:02] yeah, the truck cabin move. They should be driving semi.
[26:05] » What are the widths of the approaches going into the turkey plant?
[26:09] » I know off top of my head. So >> they're not wide enough.
[26:12] » Yeah. What about the driveway lane being pushed over? They have a harder time
[26:15] making it. So >> yeah,
[26:17] » that's a good comment. So >> they cannot make those,
[26:20] » right? Especially southbound. So >> yeah,
[26:24] » northbound more problem. Southbound's always the trickier ones.
[26:28] So yeah. So the idea of the the new uh approach at the church that could be
[26:34] talked about later if something changes. >> Yeah. I mean we now batting is January
[26:39] 2028. You know construction 2028. So we have a little time you know to figure
[26:44] out a final plans. Um the sooner the better. So we know how to design our
[26:48] plans and layouts environmental impacts that sort of stuff. You know now it's
[26:54] you know it's August 2026. You know, I think the end of this year,
[26:58] it'd be great to have some sort of director from the city, which is I would
[27:01] think four months should be enough time or three months, whatever is left. Four
[27:04] months to get some sort of uh either we leave
[27:08] it where it is or you move it. You know, it's not
[27:12] it's [clears throat] cheaper for us to leave it where it is, but probably more
[27:15] beneficial for traffic impacts. It makes more sense to move it more of a
[27:19] controlled intersection and that that'd be fine, too. So
[27:24] is that is that doable do you think by end of this year?
[27:30] » Yeah, >> I would try to think so. So
[27:33] yeah, >> any questions from the council for Tom?
[27:39] » A couple other things if you don't they got a few minutes so it's not quite 10
[27:42] yet but >> on this on this are you good with this
[27:45] layout here. Any more questions on that? So,
[27:48] and once we get the layout finalized, I'll come back with a resolution to
[27:52] participate memo again because we're there with some city costs with all the
[27:55] sidewalk stuff in here. So, I'll be back in probably a couple months with a
[27:59] resolution to participate all the costs figured out with our TA funding and then
[28:04] the city's portion of that match and everything else on here. So, that'll be
[28:09] up coming up next. Let's see here. Um,
[28:14] you might know some of the trees in town. There's a couple trees that are we
[28:18] planted this summer that are in kind of bad spots. They're close to some signs.
[28:21] So, I'll be looking at maybe maybe moving a couple of trees or maybe move
[28:24] some of the signs. There's not that many, but like half a dozen that you
[28:28] drive through town are are going to grow and get bigger and are too close to
[28:31] signs. So, we're to get some of those adjusted. It's pretty minor. Really no
[28:35] impacted pelican. Just let you know what we're doing to those those trees. Maybe
[28:39] may maybe get them removed. So Brian is happier. So [laughter]
[28:44] that one, that dead one on the cell phone probably be removed.
[28:46] » I was going to say the dead one, >> that dead one might probably be removed
[28:48] completely, but there's a few that we're going to be adjusting. And then probably
[28:52] last thing you guys might have mentioned, there's a a crosswalk up here
[28:56] to 108 West. Maybe you guys know about that crosswalk that showed up in there.
[29:00] So >> with that,
[29:01] » so not a big deal, but I know we just need a permit to install them on on
[29:06] highways. Normally crosswalks are not allowed in speeds are over 45 miles an
[29:10] hour. So that's one issue we have to look at if it's even allowed there. So
[29:13] once you get the permit, we'll tear into it and make a decision whether to leave
[29:17] it or get it put in properly. So we like like all of our striping you ground in
[29:24] different kind of p striping in there and the right width and the right
[29:26] pattern that doesn't have the right men up pattern we want. So nothing too major
[29:32] but we'll get get squared away. So with that I think all my notes are are
[29:37] checked off. So, >> anything else you guys got for me?
[29:41] » The council. >> Tom, I know it's not your idea. You
[29:45] know, it's not going to change, but that 80% thing with the speed limit.
[29:50] The first time I heard that, I couldn't believe it.
[29:52] » Yeah. Yeah. We've done a lot of studies over the years and
[29:55] » and they rarely go down. Most time they go up, which that's why you got to be
[29:59] careful. We ask for them. >> So,
[30:01] » cuz it's too fast down there. There's kids trying to cross.
[30:04] » Yeah. And that's why we we look at road diet designing to slow people down, you
[30:08] know, with more curb and gutter center medians, stuff like that that people see
[30:12] stuff and they slow down. That that's a fact. So roundabout would be great there
[30:16] to slow people down, but we just can't justify spending that kind of money
[30:20] there. >> At least you mentioned it again.
[30:22] » I'm sorry. >> At least you mentioned it again.
[30:24] » Yeah, it's something we, you know, we'd like to see. You know, I'm a big
[30:27] roundabout proponent for safety and everything else involved with it, but
[30:30] they're they're really expensive. They've gotten really expensive. It's
[30:34] like two like two to two and a half million dollars to build a roundabout
[30:37] nowadays, which is a lot of money. So, we're in a, you know, a budget shortfall
[30:43] like everybody else is. So, yeah,
[30:46] » 2 and a2 million seems like a lot for some.
[30:48] » It is a lot. >> It's like doesn't make any sense.
[30:51] » There's a lot of concrete. There's a lot of stuff in there. And, you know,
[30:54] there's a lot of lot more than we think. Everything has gone up, you know, a lot
[30:58] over the last couple years. So, >> so short of short of a traffic study,
[31:05] the state obviously has the ability to monitor uh cell phones traveling in an
[31:10] area. Are they able to look and see what the cell phones how fast they're moving
[31:16] down in that area? >> Absolutely.
[31:18] you to give us an idea that way sort of I'll talk to a traffic engineer and they
[31:22] say they have some website they go to and they they can see all the real data
[31:26] of all the cell phones and they just track them and it's it's all public
[31:30] information but I have no idea how to do it but they do it so yeah I'll get that
[31:34] for you be fun I'll send it to Lance and the mayor to see what the average speeds
[31:38] are down there so I have to it's a good idea so
[31:40] » let us know when they're going to do it we'll sit down there for a while
[31:43] [laughter] >> go faster or go slow
[31:47] I'll write that down. So,
[31:52] » well, I like to do stuff like that. So, >> thank you.
[31:55] » You betcha.
[31:58] » Good. >> So, we'll see you in a couple months
[32:00] » or sooner. >> Oh, sure. Okay. [laughter]
[32:04] » Or both. So, >> all right.
[32:09] » Let's go up to item number five, street and park report. Superintendent Olson.
[32:20] finally got to you. >> I know. I'm going to quit betting with
[32:23] Todd on how you're going to go in order because I seem to be losing.
[32:28] » Um let's see the the streets. So, we've got about 90% of the no parking signs
[32:35] in. We were short a few uh boulevard anchors. So, you we should get those
[32:41] completed tomorrow. then they'll all be up. Ordinance is enforced.
[32:47] They can do what they need. Um, >> how's that been working out, Chief?
[32:52] » Good. We're still in the uh educational phase as far as just warnings. So,
[32:59] » good. Um, been doing a lot of tree trimming on many various streets. We uh
[33:05] we've done some and some of the larger stuff we've obviously been hiring out in
[33:10] which we need to continue to to budget for that because we've got some
[33:14] lowhanging branches on some of these streets, but I think that'll be fine. Um
[33:20] sweeping, fixing asphalt, patching valve covers, fixing
[33:26] everything that that's been broke over the over the summer and part of the
[33:30] spring. Um, household hazardous waste was still busy this year. I It just
[33:36] amazes me the amount of paint that people bring in year after year after
[33:42] year after year. I'm like, where where are you finding all this? Just But every
[33:46] year it just comes in. Um, we will be starting our annual sewer cleaning uh
[33:52] first part of September. Just so you know, if um that's how cleaning cleaning
[33:56] sewers and uh different neighborhoods, different sections. Um all of our
[34:02] patches have been patched up this year finally. Uh took a while to get uh get a
[34:08] company here to do them, but they've all been done. Um hydrant flushing this
[34:13] year. It's a I'm announcing a little early, but I'm obviously planned it out.
[34:17] uh Sunday, October 4th from 7:00 am to 3 pm. And the alternative if weather
[34:24] doesn't cooperate that day will be the following Sunday.
[34:28] And again, we do this on Sundays because of the turkey plant is their slowest
[34:33] time and we can get through and and not affect their their water usage.
[34:38] Uh let's see. Parks and stuff, it's that time of the year. all the summer help
[34:43] starting. They're all done at the end of this week going back to their their fall
[34:48] lives and uh so it's been it's been a fairly good year. Uh campgrounds
[34:54] continues to be steady. I I'm interested to see the numbers at the end of the
[34:58] year the longer the season goes because I really feel like it's been kind of
[35:01] down this year. not as busy as it had been and I thought maybe it would be
[35:05] busier this year with no construction, no no anything, but it uh we'll we'll
[35:10] see at the end of the year. Um planned on that being open till about
[35:14] mid-occtober usually through October Fest and then we'll close that for the
[35:17] season. Um couple parks, one specifically has
[35:22] received a lot of damage. Um I'm working with the park board on that. another
[35:27] we've lost I believe three trees um that people have donated over the years
[35:33] through our memorial and they get a plaque and um so I'm trying to work with
[35:37] the park board to see what the best idea is there but we'll continue and I'll
[35:41] keep you posted on that. Um, we have also recently lost one in Peterson Park,
[35:46] which was was rare that nobody has touched these trees for 2 years and now
[35:50] all of a sudden they decide. But it is the time of the year also where
[35:54] everybody's getting a little rambunctious. Um, and we plan, we will
[35:58] be planning to replant these trees in the next month or so. I'm waiting just
[36:02] for it to get a little cooler before we do that. Um,
[36:07] pool is closed for the season. It closed last Sunday. Um, I think they had a a a
[36:13] good year. I'm I'm excited for to see next year's numbers compared to this
[36:17] year, but um we had for the whole month uh for the whole year that we had 3,365
[36:27] passes between well, there was there was uh just daily passes was 30,02.
[36:35] So that's just people paying daily throughout the summer. Um, the stat that
[36:41] still just gets me every time is 2,357 freeze pops were sold. It just throws me
[36:49] off. I I just And and 2385 ice cream sandwiches. It It just I'm
[36:55] like, "Wow, maybe I don't know what to do, but they just like them." So, it's
[36:58] kind of been a good deal. Um, also the goggles, 176 pair of goggles.
[37:05] Couldn't keep them in stock for a while and was it was exciting. you know, it's
[37:08] good. But so, yeah, that uh I think we had a good summer. Um I'm going to be
[37:13] meeting with Ally to kind of go over the whole thing here next week and uh see
[37:17] what uh hopefully can talk her into another season and see what we can do
[37:22] better and what we need to change same stay the same. So,
[37:28] that is what I have for you tonight. >> Any questions?
[37:32] » Reference those trees. Mindot's going to be removing trees. Can we just get them
[37:36] to stick them in a different hole? >> The ones they're removing are dead.
[37:39] » Oh, they're all dead. I didn't know. >> Yeah, they're dead.
[37:42] » Some are in the way of the signs. If they keep growing, they're not going to
[37:45] keep growing, >> right? The these are these are done
[37:48] growing. >> Okay.
[37:49] » So, yeah. >> Any questions for Brian?
[37:54] » If not, is there a motion to approve the street and park report?
[37:57] » So, move. >> Second.
[37:58] » Second. >> Motion second. Discussion. Discussion.
[38:03] Discussion. Hearing none. All in favor signify by saying I.
[38:06] » I. >> I.
[38:07] » What was the same? Motion carried. >> Thank you.
[38:09] » Thank you.
[38:12] » Down to item number nine. Mileage rate. Uh 76 cents. Uh Danielle.
[38:20] Yeah. >> Um so, uh the beginning of
[38:26] um July, the IRS changed the mileage rate from 72 1.5 cents to 76
[38:36] cents. So, I just wanted to [clears throat]
[38:40] update um
[38:43] suggest updating our reimbursement from 72 1/2 cents up to 76 cents.
[38:51] » Hear a motion. >> So move.
[38:54] » Second. >> I'll second that then.
[38:57] » Motion second. Discussion. How would that be used? We're
[39:03] » How do we use it? >> Who would use that the most? Well, like
[39:07] right now we don't have a vehicle. City Hall doesn't have a vehicle. So, anytime
[39:11] Lance goes to meetings off site or I go to meetings off site or every day Jana
[39:16] runs to the banks when uses her personal car. So, any any of that kind of stuff
[39:22] anytime anybody goes to trainings >> that kind of stuff.
[39:26] » Yep. >> Any more discussion
[39:29] hearing? None. All in favor signify by saying I.
[39:32] » I was the same. Motion carried. Item number 10, city hall vehicle. Lance,
[39:39] » on that note, we're looking at a city hall vehicle that so we don't have to
[39:42] pay mileage to people. If you remember, we had we had an old
[39:47] squad car for many years for a city hall vehicle. Um had complaints. I mean, it's
[39:51] they're old. Uh they're noisy. Uh they're not in very good condition after
[39:56] the um police are done with them. So, we
[40:00] ended up selling that one. And well, we ended up selling those two squads. Um,
[40:05] so we haven't had a city vol hall vehicle now for many, many months. Um,
[40:08] we This one's at Saks Motors. Um, it's a 2014 Chevy Equinox.
[40:13] Got about 160,000 on it. Um, but it's in good shape. Uh, we sold the two
[40:20] squads and and have the money about a little over $6,500 that we have. This
[40:27] vehicle will be roughly 6,700 somewhere a little more than that with um the fees
[40:32] and things. So, we have that money. We'd have that extra $200 or whatever we need
[40:37] in the general budget. So, I'm just looking for approval to make this
[40:40] purchase for a city hall vehicle. >> You're looking for a motion to approve
[40:45] that purchase.
[40:49] » We have a motion. Is there a second? >> I'll second that.
[40:54] » Motion second. Discussion. Discussion.
[40:59] Discussion. Hearing none. All in favor signify by
[41:02] saying I. >> I was the same. Motion carried. Anything
[41:06] else on that, Lance? >> Nope. Okay, we'll move item number 11,
[41:11] rental licensing update. That's just an FYI, Danielle.
[41:16] » Yeah, I just wanted to let council know that um
[41:21] we member council approved changing the licensing dates from December
[41:28] um 31st. we change them to and end July 31st. So, as of August 1st, we had um 33
[41:39] land or um property owners that were not in compliance, did not have the new
[41:44] license. So, they were sent um a bill for their $500 penalty.
[41:52] Um and so they have received that. Now, we've heard from a couple of them. And
[41:58] then um I don't know if you noticed on the police report, but they 32 of them
[42:04] were cited for operating without their rental housing license. So if you hear
[42:12] any grumbling about it, you know why. >> What was the fee?
[42:17] » The penalty >> Yeah.
[42:19] » was $500. But we had it had been $100 and then we've upped it this last year
[42:25] because we weren't getting anywhere with the
[42:28] $100. So
[42:34] » any questions from the council? >> What happens next if they don't follow
[42:39] through? >> Well,
[42:42] the ticket is a mandatory court, so they have to go to court. Um,
[42:51] we have heard from some people. So, some of them are getting their stuff done.
[42:58] Some of them we've heard nothing from yet. So, we're I mean, we're hoping that
[43:01] once they get the ticket and the bill, at least it'll
[43:06] spark a conversation. So, some of them we've heard nothing from yet. So,
[43:11] hopefully you said in the past that the $100
[43:15] didn't they didn't pay it or they ignored it.
[43:18] It was getting to be to that point. Yeah. Yep. So, we
[43:22] » Yeah, we discussed it at council. I just didn't have enough teeth at $100.
[43:26] » Yeah. >> So, 500 should get attention.
[43:30] » Got my attention. I was late and didn't know it.
[43:33] » And then I got the letter and got paid. >> Yep.
[43:36] » And and we do hear a lot. I mean, you know, we sent out the paperwork in April
[43:41] and then the next month we you know, we sent out notices every single month
[43:45] reminding people and well, we didn't get it in the mail and all that stuff. But
[43:51] » I think maybe that's the case, but I did get the notices. I can attest to that.
[43:57] Um,
[44:00] » how long can they go on operating if they not licensed?
[44:03] » Well, they have to go to court. So, what'll what'll [clears throat] end
[44:09] up happening um they'll end up going to court um and at some point Wisconsin and
[44:17] I'll have a conversation. Um they've they've already been cited. They
[44:23] may very well end up being cited again because it's continues to be a
[44:28] violation. Um but it'll kind of be on the courts to decide what they're going
[44:33] to do. Um it's my understanding having had
[44:39] conversation with Wisconsin that there is no real mechanism for us to force
[44:46] eviction. So
[44:49] » So if there was a catastrophe, we are not liable.
[44:54] » I would agree. Y
[44:59] um but we'll continue to try and take action and try and force the issue. I
[45:03] will say on the five I will say on the $500
[45:07] point um I will let you know that at least one of the parties um that came in
[45:15] seemed rather dismissive even about the 500 like oh okay I'll pay that you know
[45:19] I mean it was um the same reaction you would get with the $100 that it was it
[45:25] was still more profitable to operate and not be compliant.
[45:32] M >> so just u as this whole process plays
[45:37] out be mindful that might still be a future
[45:41] conversation because there are other neighboring dis districts well
[45:45] neighboring uh cities that have a more substantial than that but I assume that
[45:54] I assume that can be assessed >> or no
[45:58] » I have to look into it a little bit more But
[46:02] » yeah, so that's [clears throat] my rental housing update.
[46:06] » Any questions for Daniel? >> Well, is this license
[46:10] they have to meet certain criteria to be able?
[46:15] » Yeah. >> Yeah.
[46:17] » So, I suppose if somebody has to do a lot of fixing up, $500 is an easy out.
[46:24] What if they >> Well, some of them some of them had to
[46:27] get inspected and never got the inspection completed. Some of them just
[46:31] never turned their paperwork in, you know. So, it's some of them are in
[46:35] different because you only have to get inspected every 3 years. So, some of
[46:39] them are in different um spots in their three-year process.
[46:43] So, they're not all necessarily in the same boat. Some of them were inspected
[46:48] once and never got everything completed. Some of them waited until, you know,
[46:54] like we sent out the paperwork in April and then we didn't hear from them until
[46:58] July. Well, by that time, Sid's pretty booked to do inspections and then um you
[47:06] know, we hear from hardly anybody in May and June, but July is when everybody
[47:11] wants to schedule it. So, so yeah,
[47:17] » but how could it be profitable for somebody just to pay the $500? They got
[47:22] to fix it anyway. >> Yeah. Well, if they I suppose multiple
[47:26] units if they've got a lot of units. >> Any other questions for Danielle?
[47:36] » Okay. Hearing none, we'll move on. Item number 12 is ordinance 2026-05,
[47:42] which is in your packet. And there's also a bullet point there about tenant
[47:46] complaint form. These are just FYIs, but Lance is going to speak to these. Lance?
[47:53] » Yeah, these will be the first look at these. Um, ordinance committee has been
[47:56] busy. This is all to do with chapter 10 tonight. So, this first section we'll
[48:00] talk about here is what's already been in ordinance. It's just
[48:05] some some minor changes. If you remember, we looked we uh probably last
[48:10] fall, we actually looked at chapter 10 and we changed those dates that we
[48:13] talked about like the inspection dates for rentals and things. We changed it
[48:17] from the spring um or from actually from >> fall
[48:23] » fall >> to basically spring and into summer
[48:26] where we can get the inspections done with nice weather. So there's no excuses
[48:30] there about not being able to do things outside when it's poor weather. Um
[48:36] basically that that was the changes then that we made. Um that was that and then
[48:39] there was one little de definition change but now
[48:43] um there's minor changes now that we went through everything. Um the first
[48:47] paragraph is just kind of some lawyer language to add add to that. Um and then
[48:52] some other places where we referenced he and him and all that. So we just changed
[48:56] that to all the there and they and things like that. Um
[49:02] one other thing I just wanted to point out.
[49:07] So, while we were going through this ordinance, we we found where
[49:12] in subdivision five here, it says any person agreed by an unlawful practice
[49:16] prohibited by this ordinance may file a complaint with the city. So, we found
[49:21] out that yeah, you can they can come if they're if they go to the landlord and
[49:25] they're not and and the landlord's not doing anything about an issue, they can
[49:28] come to the city. Well, we really didn't have a process in place to make that
[49:32] happen. So, that's where that tenant complaint form came in. So, the tenant
[49:36] complaint form is actually brand new. That's that was in the packet. You can
[49:39] look that over. It just it kind of lays out the process that of that complaint.
[49:44] So, that is new. Um,
[49:49] and then I don't know that there's really anything else to point out that
[49:53] was changed in this ordinance. So, this there was a little more lawyer language
[49:57] here that he added. Um, otherwise the tenant complaint form is all kind of
[50:01] brand new and it kind of just lays out what's in the ordinance. So if there's
[50:05] any questions on this part of it
[50:10] or anything else to add from ordinance committee members that are here
[50:15] and chief quite anything that's
[50:20] cover it all nothing of substance I would say there's
[50:25] just small small tweaks and this is all for long-term rental this is for
[50:30] anything that's 30 days or for [clears throat]
[50:35] any questions.
[50:40] Okay, none.
[50:46] Move on. Item number 13, ordinance 2026-06.
[50:50] And it's also related to short-term rental application. That's also an FYI,
[50:56] Lance. >> Yeah. So, this is basically an addition
[50:59] to chapter 10. So, this is all brand new. We we never had a short-term rental
[51:04] any kind of language in there pertaining to that before. So, this is all new. Um,
[51:08] just some things to point out.
[51:12] Um, in the language, it'll say where will we allow we won't issue more than
[51:17] eight short-term licenses as of right now. Um, we kind of discussed that if
[51:21] things are going well in the future and we can think we can allow more, that's
[51:25] certainly easily changeable right there. Um, another one is not issue more than
[51:30] two um, licenses to the same person or entity.
[51:36] And then it also kind of goes on that I mean they're allowed in residential if
[51:40] commercial um, they need to go through an SUP process in order to be approved.
[51:44] Um, so I just want to point out so we have some in in we have some short-term
[51:50] rentals out there right now. So we haven't had an ordinance or anything
[51:54] regulating them at all. So, like say the Mo motel up there has three I believe
[51:58] that are short-term rentals and then the one downtown that just opened is in
[52:03] commercial. So, basically those would be um I don't say grandfathered in, but
[52:09] they'd be a legal non-conforming use since there was no ordinance when they
[52:14] were established and they're running. They would be allowed now as a legal
[52:18] non-conforming use. So, so like the motel, we say in the ordinance that
[52:23] they're only allowed two while they have three. Well, they're they're all right.
[52:26] And the one downtown commercial, they don't have to go through the SU process
[52:29] or anything like that. It's allowed. So, >> but they can't add anymore either,
[52:33] » right? Yeah. If they were, but >> Yeah. So, if another one come wants to
[52:37] come in the commercial zone or something, they have to go through the
[52:39] SUP process and get approved if they want it. Is it three or four
[52:46] » for what? The follow the motel. Uh maybe it was
[52:52] » here nor there. >> It might be four actually. Yeah,
[52:54] » that all four of them or three, whichever the number is will count
[52:58] against the eight. Even though it's non-conforming,
[53:02] » they will all count against our total until you change the total.
[53:11] And then all of these will be inspected at the same time frame for inspections
[53:16] and things as the long-term. We kept it all the same. So that and that'd be the
[53:20] same inspections, same requirements, um same timeline, all of that.
[53:27] Um
[53:32] and then you can see at the end here we have the new application to go with it.
[53:36] So the application just basically just follows every all the ordinance language
[53:42] what's required all that. So
[53:46] um there's anything else to add from anybody else or any questions?
[53:52] Ordinance committee have anything else?
[53:57] Any other comments from the council? That's all you had in that lance?
[54:02] » Yes. >> Okay. Thank you.
