1
00:00:01,940 --> 00:00:05,900
We will call the common council to order. Everybody could please rise for the pledge.

2
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:10,410
I put

3
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:17,430
the agenda to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation,

4
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:21,450
under God, individual, liberty and justice for all.

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,900
We're always going to see the flag.

6
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,420
All right, two public comment.

7
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:30,280
Would anybody like to come forward during public comment?

8
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:38,600
Not, we'll move on to consent, 3.1.

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Approved common council meeting minutes,

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,520
dated August 3rd, 2026.

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,100
3.2 approve common council meeting minutes,

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,720
dated August 17th, 2026.

13
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:52,840
3.3 approve the special common council meeting minutes,

14
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:55,060
dated September 8th, 2026.

15
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,620
And 3.4 approve the accounts payable listing

16
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:01,740
We've been dated September 21st, 2026.

17
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:03,580
Anybody like anything removed?

18
00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:07,900
It's not, do we have a motion to approve?

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,940
No, approve.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Is there a second?

21
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:12,340
Second.

22
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,260
All in favor?

23
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:15,920
Aye.

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:16,840
Opposed?

25
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:20,880
4.1 or new business?

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,680
4.1, discussion and possible action

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,780
to approve the City Administrator Employment Agreement

28
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:25,960
with Carly Person.

29
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:28,100
Julie, do you have it?

30
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:34,940
there are no substantial changes. What's that? What was? Oh, is everybody have it?

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:35,740
Yep. Great.

32
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:36,440
It's in the packet.

33
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:39,940
All right. Have we have any questions?

34
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:48,980
The only question I had, because I haven't been here for employment agreement, is the

35
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:58,040
benefits letter B, where we're doing 20 days of vacation and then after a year she goes to

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,440
a 12-year tenure in play. I don't know if that's standard thing or something

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,440
that she... We did that because of her position. So what is 12 years get her

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,520
that one or two or five or ten?

39
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,380
Instead of having to accrue the 20 days in the

40
00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:26,920
first year and then as of her one year anniversary she'll start at the accrual

41
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:31,780
rate so it'll be like she's been here for 12 years. She's getting credit for 12

42
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:35,940
years but she'll be accruing at that same rate that what she's getting from what it

43
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:39,260
Yes. Three weeks. Sorry.

44
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,900
Is that normal that we do that?

45
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:46,160
We've been doing that as a recruitment technique

46
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,400
to adjust people.

47
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:50,380
They don't always have to start at the two week time.

48
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:51,640
Okay.

49
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:55,940
So that doesn't mean, so this is just for

50
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,520
vacation purposes.

51
00:02:57,740 --> 00:03:01,460
It's not for salary purposes that she would be a 12 year employee

52
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:02,460
after one year.

53
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:03,580
Just vacation purposes.

54
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,220
Okay. All right.

55
00:03:04,340 --> 00:03:05,720
I just, I hadn't seen that before.

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:11,680
So I thought I'd just ask it's not that I have a problem with that. It's just thought it was a very unique number 12

57
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,620
So I didn't know if there was a purpose even doesn't yeah for it doesn't yeah

58
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:19,760
Anyone else

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,780
not then do we have a motion on 4.1?

60
00:03:27,210 --> 00:03:28,130
I'm like motion to prove it

61
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:34,150
Emotion is a second second a second all in favor. All right, I closed

62
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:39,870
4.2 discussion and possible action to change the agent of docs try doc

63
00:03:40,270 --> 00:03:49,870
to Brittany Valentine Kelly thanks mayor Brittany came in maybe about a week or so ago we ran the background check

64
00:03:49,870 --> 00:03:56,490
She is spotless, so it's very nice. I'm just changing the agent to Brittany Valentine

65
00:03:57,770 --> 00:04:00,750
Okay, if I have any questions now

66
00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:06,990
to have a motion to approve the agent change so moved. I'll suck out

67
00:04:07,870 --> 00:04:09,950
All in favor. All right, posed

68
00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:17,510
We've got a five-engineering 5.1 discussion and postulations to award 2026 Green Road

69
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:24,130
Rehabilitation to the lowest qualified bidder, Barnard asphalt sealers in the amount of $140,140,

70
00:04:24,130 --> 00:04:25,510
$107.50.

71
00:04:26,090 --> 00:04:26,310
Maggie.

72
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:29,650
Thank you, Mayor.

73
00:04:30,510 --> 00:04:37,010
In the 2026 budget, we had a road rehabilitation for Green Road, which is basically putting a

74
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:43,730
micro surface on the existing asphalt that is out there today. For those of you

75
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:46,910
don't know in their packets, I did describe what a micro-surfacing is. I don't

76
00:04:46,910 --> 00:04:49,770
I'm not going to go into detail on that, but if you have questions about it let me

77
00:04:49,770 --> 00:04:53,990
know. This is being done basically to extend the life of that pavement. It's

78
00:04:53,990 --> 00:04:59,010
something that typically happens between years 10 and 15 so that we can catch it

79
00:04:59,010 --> 00:05:03,690
before cracks get really large and we can seal up any micro-cracks that we

80
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:08,970
can't see physically to be able to seal, so hopefully add life to the pavement.

81
00:05:09,970 --> 00:05:13,770
You're going to be seeing this more in our programs as we continue to try and

82
00:05:13,770 --> 00:05:17,210
stretch our dollars in our role program and to keep our good roads good.

83
00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:22,910
So we did, and because this is just considered a preservation practice,

84
00:05:23,430 --> 00:05:26,650
it is not part of the assessment policy that the city has.

85
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:31,470
That's only reserved for resurfacing and reconstructions.

86
00:05:31,470 --> 00:05:34,170
So, this is coming out of our operations.

87
00:05:34,670 --> 00:05:41,030
We have a budgeted item for highway or its roadway maintenance, and that's where this

88
00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:41,730
is coming out of.

89
00:05:42,650 --> 00:05:51,130
We received one bid for this from Farner asphalt sealers in the amount of $140,000, $107.50.

90
00:05:51,970 --> 00:05:53,290
We worked with Farner before.

91
00:05:53,650 --> 00:05:54,770
We have no problem with it.

92
00:05:54,850 --> 00:06:00,770
There are numbers in line with what we expected in our budget for this, so we are recommending

93
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:04,910
approval of this contract to Farner.

94
00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:08,730
Okay, thank you.

95
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:13,190
So, before we get up here, we have one resident who has to be heard on this.

96
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:16,310
So, Larry, if you want to come on up and let us know what you think.

97
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:19,200
Mr. Mayor.

98
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:19,700
Yep.

99
00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:22,300
Member of the council.

100
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:23,720
Larry Morensek.

101
00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:24,880
North 30.

102
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:26,740
West 22121 Green Road.

103
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,980
And I guess I'm remiss.

104
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,200
I maybe should have talked to me about this on the side.

105
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:41,560
But a year or two ago they re-sealed some of the green roads, some of the cracks, they chased them out and put sealer into them.

106
00:06:42,260 --> 00:06:45,520
The spring, a lot of that sealer was pulled off from the plows.

107
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,280
And if you looked at the roads closely, you could see a lot of the road, some of the highest spots on the road were shaved off at the plows.

108
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:59,660
see those falls are like d9 quality they really are aggressive even the

109
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:04,280
curb on a little subdivision around me if the curb's a little high or the gutter

110
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,420
a little high it'll shade the stone right off the concrete off the gutter so

111
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:20,420
if you look at green road now somebody has applied a big sealer across the cracks

112
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:25,860
that go across the road and they're higher than the road I'm I'm thinking that

113
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:28,100
the plows are going to shake and shade that right off.

114
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:31,220
The other thing is the plows are awful heavy.

115
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:32,920
A lot of salt on them.

116
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:37,760
And because of their new proximity of the public works

117
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,020
building, look at one plow truck come down,

118
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,260
plow down, spreading salt.

119
00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:46,420
Two minutes later, another truck plow down, spreading salt.

120
00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:49,020
So that other salt didn't even have a chance to work

121
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:51,180
and it's blowing off onto the road or onto the grass.

122
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,080
So you see that all the time.

123
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,300
So those soldiers are running constantly.

124
00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:59,240
I don't know if they can manage that a little better.

125
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:01,340
Maybe AI can do that for you.

126
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,160
But those are the concerns I have.

127
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,540
Like I said, those poles are very aggressive.

128
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,300
They shave tops, you know, high spots off the road.

129
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,100
So that's just an concern.

130
00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:15,240
I don't know how this vehicle is going to work on it.

131
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400
But if you see what's happening, what's there now?

132
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:20,760
And look at it next spring.

133
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,180
I wonder if that will be there or not.

134
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Thank you.

135
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:24,700
Thank you.

136
00:08:26,730 --> 00:08:28,430
Do you want to address that in the order?

137
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:30,050
I can't.

138
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:32,470
I mean, what is out there now is nasty.

139
00:08:32,690 --> 00:08:36,130
Can we put that down in preparation of this ceiling process?

140
00:08:36,350 --> 00:08:40,770
So that basically is sealing some of the cracks and anything that had a little bit of a divot.

141
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:43,130
That kind of fills in that divot and smooths it out a little bit.

142
00:08:44,730 --> 00:08:52,130
It is another preventative maintenance tool that we're using to try and extend the life of the roadways.

143
00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:55,070
then you will sometimes have that plowed up.

144
00:08:55,270 --> 00:08:59,610
What we're doing here is similar, not the exact same product,

145
00:08:59,750 --> 00:09:00,910
is what we did on North 3 Road.

146
00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:01,990
That didn't last as long.

147
00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:05,770
No, well, and it's pretty typical that you get that wearing surface.

148
00:09:05,770 --> 00:09:11,970
It's not necessarily meant, you know, as a replacement for replacing a roadway.

149
00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:14,530
It's just, it's sealing those microcracks.

150
00:09:15,010 --> 00:09:19,150
And so that part doesn't get removed because it's getting down into the cracks itself, the pavement.

151
00:09:19,870 --> 00:09:23,670
And so it's just providing that additional layer of support for that roadway.

152
00:09:25,930 --> 00:09:31,330
It's typical, unfortunately, that those plows do sometimes pull out those sealers.

153
00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:37,290
We do try and when we do cracks dealing, we do route the cracks to try and get that sealer down into the pavement.

154
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:39,670
So you're not going to get it pulled off of the plows.

155
00:09:40,390 --> 00:09:42,630
It's a balancing act when you're looking at those plows.

156
00:09:42,890 --> 00:09:47,150
You want them to get down to pavement so you don't get the black ice on the roadways for

157
00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:49,470
for the traveling public for the safety reasons.

158
00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:57,550
I don't normally when we're doing our plow routes, they may put the blade down, but

159
00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:02,110
they don't necessarily salt multiple times because each crew has their own routes and

160
00:10:02,110 --> 00:10:04,270
their salt usage is based off of those routes.

161
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:04,730
It's not.

162
00:10:05,390 --> 00:10:10,870
And yes, they're driving over the same road sometimes, but they're not necessarily salting that all

163
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:11,170
their time.

164
00:10:11,230 --> 00:10:12,530
And they shouldn't be salting that all time.

165
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:15,930
It's certainly something that I can follow up and ensure that they're not doing that.

166
00:10:15,930 --> 00:10:21,050
but given that you're on to playing the road, you are going to have multiple trucks coming in,

167
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:25,790
because that's where our station is, that's where our salt is for resupply of those cell trucks.

168
00:10:26,450 --> 00:10:32,190
So it's not unusual, it does happen, but overall, this does protect our roadways

169
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:35,350
and keep them from deteriorating faster than what they should.

170
00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:37,050
Okay.

171
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,380
Anybody else have any questions?

172
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,420
Is it a plow problem you're thinking, or is it a road problem?

173
00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:07,330
It's a plow problem.

174
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:20,910
I mean, the only alternative there is less plowing.

175
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:22,250
Right.

176
00:11:22,930 --> 00:11:24,550
We're not going to get lighter plows.

177
00:11:25,530 --> 00:11:25,630
Yeah.

178
00:11:28,770 --> 00:11:29,930
That is what it is, right?

179
00:11:55,530 --> 00:11:56,770
Maybe it's a different process.

180
00:11:57,830 --> 00:11:58,730
You're going to try this.

181
00:11:58,910 --> 00:12:00,510
Is this something you've done before?

182
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:05,110
We've...

183
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:06,350
different products on Northory Road.

184
00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:09,750
Similar, we're trying to seal up those cracks

185
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:11,030
and extend the life of that roadway.

186
00:12:11,390 --> 00:12:13,670
This is a little bit different material

187
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:14,710
than what we used out there.

188
00:12:15,150 --> 00:12:18,890
There's multiple different sealers

189
00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:20,070
that you can use on a roadway

190
00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:22,090
and it just depends on the life of the road,

191
00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:25,890
what you're seeing, and then how quickly

192
00:12:25,890 --> 00:12:27,210
we need to get that open to traffic.

193
00:12:27,650 --> 00:12:30,110
This is something that actually heals fairly quickly,

194
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:32,570
so we can get traffic back on it fairly quickly,

195
00:12:32,570 --> 00:12:37,770
which being green road, one of our major arterials in the city, you know, we want to make sure

196
00:12:37,770 --> 00:12:41,690
we can get that open as soon as we can. There are some products where you basically have to

197
00:12:41,690 --> 00:12:46,990
let sit for six hours, depending on weather. You know, this is usually only like a one-two-hour

198
00:12:48,130 --> 00:12:53,250
time frame that we have to shut down the roadway to be able to get it to cure. So there's a lot of

199
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:58,450
different things that we weigh when we look at all of the different types of sealers on the roadways.

200
00:12:58,450 --> 00:13:01,270
We felt that this was the best application for this road.

201
00:13:02,670 --> 00:13:05,910
I mean, I've been here too long since I'm already redoing roads.

202
00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:11,630
Yeah, I remember this was a big pain in the pituity doing this road, but are you still

203
00:13:11,630 --> 00:13:13,290
planning on getting this done this year?

204
00:13:13,530 --> 00:13:16,950
Is that why it's so this is part of the 2026 budget then?

205
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,130
We have this in the 2026 budget.

206
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:25,190
We've been having a discussion with the foreigner, the low bed.

207
00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:27,690
It kind of depends on the weather.

208
00:13:27,690 --> 00:13:34,650
We've been getting a lot of rain, which is pushing their workload back a little bit, so there is a chance that this may get delayed to spring.

209
00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:42,950
We're still trying to get it in this year, but if the season closes and on is too early, then we do have to kick it to 27.

210
00:13:43,270 --> 00:13:48,350
Okay, I just didn't know with it coming in this late for a road project, so.

211
00:13:49,470 --> 00:13:51,050
All right, thanks.

212
00:13:52,130 --> 00:13:58,090
Maybe unlike crack sealing where you actually route it out fill it in. Is this going all

213
00:13:58,090 --> 00:13:58,830
okay across?

214
00:13:59,270 --> 00:13:59,510
Correct.

215
00:13:59,790 --> 00:13:59,970
Okay.

216
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:05,590
It's the entire problem of something standing up or being a little higher that the

217
00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:08,630
plow will take of like you might have with the crack seal.

218
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:11,590
Correct. This kind of heals some of that.

219
00:14:12,070 --> 00:14:19,490
So it you put it on in a thin layer and it kind of bridges some of those gaps as you're

220
00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:22,530
working through it which is why you want to apply it the entire with a role

221
00:14:22,530 --> 00:14:27,470
rate for the entire length. So you don't have those lips which contributes to

222
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:28,510
some of that being pulled up.

223
00:14:35,330 --> 00:14:39,890
Not to have a motion to prove this or to award this to

224
00:14:39,890 --> 00:14:40,710
Farner.

225
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,060
Second.

226
00:14:43,900 --> 00:14:45,960
The motion of second. Any last discussion?

227
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:49,120
Not all in favor?

228
00:14:49,580 --> 00:14:49,860
All right.

229
00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:50,560
Opposed?

230
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,960
My point to discussion and

231
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,200
possibly action to approve the release of Rookert Milke CSM agreement letter of

232
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,820
credit in the amount of 117,290.

233
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:30,000
$16.40, may I? Thank you, Mayor. Rook at Milky had previously been approved for a CSM which subdivided their LAT on Ridgeby Parkway into two LATs to support a construction of a new building. As part of that in order to meet the ordinance, they had to remove some asphalt where they were creating new LAT for the setbacks that are required. And they've subsequently decided to sell that property and the buyers of that property.

234
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,840
property came back in with the CSM to combine those two properties,

235
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,160
there are those two properties, I guess, into back into one.

236
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,500
So therefore, once that CSM is executed, this letter of credit is no longer needed.

237
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:48,880
So just looking to release that letter of credit since it's going to be one lot again,

238
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:55,320
and it doesn't need to remove the asphalt that this was given to us,

239
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:57,840
just in case they didn't remove it to meet those requirements.

240
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Any

241
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:01,430
questions?

242
00:16:05,250 --> 00:16:09,290
If not, do we have a motion to approve the release of the letter of credit?

243
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:10,610
To move.

244
00:16:12,190 --> 00:16:13,870
Motion a second, all in favor?

245
00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:14,430
Aye.

246
00:16:14,830 --> 00:16:15,110
Opposed?

247
00:16:16,210 --> 00:16:17,910
Six reminder of schedule changes.

248
00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:23,310
October 12th, we're adding the additional budget workshop at 6 p.m.

249
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:28,750
November 2nd, there's no common council meeting that evening

250
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:35,170
because the next day will be full into the governor's election and then because

251
00:16:35,170 --> 00:16:40,230
of that on November 9th we are going to be having our budget public hearing and

252
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:46,310
regular common council meeting that will be starting at 6 p.m. just like on

253
00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:51,290
October 12th. Any questions or comments about that?

254
00:17:03,130 --> 00:17:04,810
You were here by notified that.

255
00:17:04,810 --> 00:17:12,430
I got a comment. I can't get close session pursuant to nineteen point eighty five sub sub. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, go ahead

256
00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:19,250

257
00:17:19,250 --> 00:17:24,530
Pihuacua will convene into closed session. Julie, if you can stick around for this, I'm sorry. I know I told you not to but I changed my mind.

258
00:17:25,730 --> 00:17:33,430
