[1:59] Mhm.
[5:49] » Mhm.
[7:44] » Mhm.
[9:39] » Mhm.
[13:29] » Mhm.
[19:05] » Laura board.
Um
[19:09] They
did their budget. I have those numbers.
[19:12] just tell you briefly.
>> Mhm.
[19:14] » And I think Chuck, you must have
received a letter from them already.
[19:18] » Yes.
>> Okay, good. And then for their requested
[19:20] amount
um you know, that'll come up at budget
[19:24] time. Yes.
>> Yep.
[19:26] » Okay. Uh but they're
Yeah, I'm just going to give you
[19:29] briefly. So, their budget in 25 was
4,191,188.
[19:36] 26 is was
uh about 4 and 1/2 million. And then now
[19:41] it's 4.6
is what they um
[19:46] came with. It's a 5.28 uh change. Um
Eight I was impressed with their meeting
[19:53] this time. There was no
um
[19:57] lollygagging. [snorts] They just went
right through it, got her done. We were
[19:59] done in like 40 minutes or something.
That was awesome. And it was the full
[20:03] board meeting this time.
>> Okay.
[20:05] » And then um
they had a appreciation for all the um
[20:11] board members.
For everybody.
[20:14] And then
we did Dancing Sky
[20:18] um yesterday.
Once again, I
[20:23] don't terribly enjoy the Dancing Sky cuz
it lasts so long.
[20:28] Like sometimes it's 3 and 1/2 hours.
Yesterday an hour and 45 minutes. I was
[20:33] ecstatic.
>> [laughter]
[20:36] » Yeah, it was good and they went through
them. Once again, they had a board
[20:39] appreciation. Um
There was a lot of I was very interested
[20:45] cuz the food company that runs or that
provides the food for the mobile meals
[20:53] they had a big um
presentation, which they do
[20:58] um each time. But this time
they were talking about budget cuts and
[21:02] everything and then how they're not
receiving the funding and everything
[21:05] that goes along with that and
I understand that but he I thought it
[21:10] was very interesting that they purchased
an Airbnb in in South Carolina and
[21:17] that's one of their fundraisers.
[21:21] I don't know if I agreed or disagreed
with that but I just thought I'd tell
[21:25] you. Very interesting.
>> The meal provider?
[21:28] » Yes, NSI or MIS or whatever they are.
NSI. Yeah, that's one of their
[21:33] fundraisers and then they wanted to do,
you know, tap into the local
[21:38] gaming people, you know. I don't think
they realize that
[21:43] you can ask them
for funds but they are dedicated Anybody
[21:47] who has a gaming license is dedicated to
whatever their
[21:51] thing [snorts] is and very little can go
back into the community. Like for
[21:55] example, the fire department, we can
they could only do 20% back
[22:00] to
otherwise it all went for maintenance
[22:03] and trucks.
You can't use that money.
[22:07] You know, they'd be better off if they
had their own gaming
[22:10] site.
Then everything they take in is theirs
[22:14] but cost money, whatever.
[clears throat]
[22:17] Um then I got Maple Lake Improvement
District, they have some questions about
[22:21] the
um
[22:23] um
bike path of course and I will meet with
[22:27] him. He He was golfing yesterday when I
called him cuz I wanted to give you a
[22:32] better report on what they were asking
and then they think that
[22:37] and I'm not sure about this so I was
going to ask um
[22:40] um Rich but are they going from 41 to
Mentor now with the same thing they did
[22:46] it on 12 from
Fertel to number 10?
[22:51] Are they doing the ditches and stuff? I
didn't think so. I haven't heard any.
[22:54] » I don't know.
>> Yeah, I don't
[22:56] I haven't seen that at all.
>> No, come
[22:59] » I don't think that's on the list cuz
that's one of their questions, too. When
[23:01] are they going to do the rest of the
ditches and stuff? I don't think that's
[23:05] on the schedule, but I'll I'll find out
from Rich and then I'll talk to them
[23:08] guys.
>> Yeah.
[23:10] » That's coming up the Actually, it's a
Saturday morning of [clears throat] the
[23:14] fair, my busiest day, so
um I It's hard for me to get away that
[23:19] morning to go, so
that's what I got.
[23:23] » Do you have the figure
uh the increase for Poconi for Laurel
[23:28] by chance?
>> I don't know what the increase was. I I
[23:31] know the total.
>> No.
[23:33] » Um oh, yeah. Which is 4.
14.7 increase.
[23:38] From two from 26.
It says it right here. I'm sorry.
[23:42] » [snorts]
>> Yeah.
[23:44] So, whatever ours was, it went up 14.7.
383,350
[23:50] is what they're asking
and they're asking for.
[23:54] » Yeah, that's a high
>> Uh yeah, they had it all written out on
[23:57] all of them.
I don't know if I have that form with
[24:01] me.
[24:03] But, that's what it was, 14.7.
>> Okay.
[24:11] Do what
Do you know uh Pam what the rent is that
[24:15] they're paying now for their new
location?
[24:17] » have No.
That I don't think that's ever come up
[24:21] recently.
>> It It was in
[24:24] I I think it's about 18, maybe per foot.
I
[24:29] don't know the exact figure, but I mean,
it was a significant increase.
[24:34] » In their in their rent, yeah.
>> From the year before, but they were in
[24:37] the basement of the old building.
>> Right.
[24:40] » [snorts]
>> I don't know that. If I
[24:43] If I write that down, remember, I'll ask
him.
[24:45] » Mhm. Yeah, cuz that's like, you know, I
don't know that
[24:49] there was ever really a
a solid number that was given.
[24:53] » It took It took a long time to get a
number.
[24:56] » I'll tell you what the budget I I got
that here. 26 lower budget was 334. Now
[25:02] it's 383.
383,000.
[25:09] » There you go.
>> Okay.
[25:12] Um
so I had um
[25:15] What did I have? I had soil and water uh
last Thursday.
[25:20] Um their
their tree program has really um taken
[25:26] off because this year they sold over
8,000 trees. You know, that's So that's
[25:30] a good,
you know, number to see going back out,
[25:35] you know, to be planted.
Um they didn't have the
[25:39] um
total for the um income and expenses on
[25:44] that yet. So that was going to be now in
our meeting coming up in July.
[25:52] They're
[25:55] had a some discussion about
um
[26:01] how some of the grants can be
used. Um
[26:07] Cuz like one thing I didn't realize that
like when they
[26:12] they help um
with funds for like these rain gardens
[26:18] or like the shoreline projects on the
lakes, that the
[26:22] um
soil and water district is
[26:26] responsible for the first 3 years of
maintenance costs for
[26:32] those
items.
[26:35] Um and which is, you know, can't They
can't use the grant money for that. So
[26:41] um
you know, I thought
[26:43] really thought that was interesting, but
it's just, you know, to make sure that
[26:46] these projects,
you know,
[26:49] um
you know, that they do grow and that
[26:51] they continue and stuff. And then I
think there's like another
[26:55] um time when they check them like at 5
years and then I think 10 years again,
[26:59] you know, to make sure that the projects
are still there.
[27:03] Um and then
talked about
[27:07] there's a
huge project that's
[27:12] Um so it's kind of east between um
or not east, south between Fosston and
[27:19] um McIntosh and it's um
a
[27:24] a drainage that goes into the Sandhill
River and there's been a lot of erosion
[27:29] and it's just it's a huge project. So
um with the One Watershed One Plan
[27:36] funding
that can finally get enough funding to
[27:40] be able to do some of these bigger
projects.
[27:44] Um
you know, cuz otherwise they just the
[27:47] reason why they get so bad is cuz they
don't have the funds to do them, you
[27:50] know, so they just continue to um erode
and get worse. So and then actually um
[27:58] in a couple weeks we're going to have a
listening session up in Thief River
[28:03] um in regards to the One Watershed One
Plans of
[28:07] you know, what has worked well, what
hasn't and you know, just kind of going
[28:12] over um everything with that. So
um
[28:16] yesterday afternoon I actually had an
AMC Solid Waste meeting, but um I missed
[28:21] that because
um
[28:25] as you can tell I went through a couple
procedures yesterday of trying to figure
[28:29] out of um
why I'm having issues with swallowing
[28:34] and
um
[28:36] coughing and um
and some of those things are actually
[28:41] kind of tied into with my um
two neck fusions two for my broken neck.
[28:46] So it's you know, everything kind of
goes back to that um car accident that I
[28:51] had in 1983, which is, I mean, you know,
long time ago, but um
[28:56] it's really taken a toll on my body. So,
um yeah, just kind of um so, this has
[29:02] been my we've been besties now for it'll
be 20 24 hours. So,
[29:07] but um hoping that
>> [cough]
[29:12] » that um you know, I can find some
answers and stuff. So,
[29:16] um and actually tonight now I've got a
um a meeting for the
[29:22] um
[29:24] um for the DEC
um
[29:28] and that'll be virtual and then I've got
um
[29:33] meetings for the
rest of the week. And actually, um
[29:38] Wednesday I'll be heading to the cities
because I have meetings on Thursday and
[29:42] Friday down in St. Paul. So,
so, another busy week.
[29:48] Uh
>> [sighs]
[29:51] » Uh let's see.
[29:54] Sam, you want to do your stuff?
>> [snorts]
[30:03] [snorts]
[30:08] [laughter]
[cough]
[30:19] » Good morning. So, this morning the first
thing I have is a cannabis retail
[30:23] registration.
Uh
[30:26] local governments must issue a retail
registration after verifying that the
[30:30] business has a valid license or
preliminary license approval issued by
[30:34] the office of cannabis cannabis
management. Uh the business has paid the
[30:38] the registration fee or a renewal fee.
Uh they're compliant with chapter 342
[30:43] and local ordinances.
They're current on all property tax and
[30:47] assessments.
Um,
[30:51] » [snorts]
>> basically they're just the stipulations
[30:52] that lay out that if they follow these
that we have to issue
[30:56] the the retail registration. Uh, the one
and only in Euclid has met all of these
[31:01] standards.
Um, they were previously
[31:06] uh, selling these as well under the old
rules, so they are kind of grandfathered
[31:10] in.
Um, but we do need to
[31:13] approve their retail registration for
them.
[31:16] So, I'm looking for a motion to do that.
>> So moved.
[31:20] » Ross.
>> Second.
[31:23] » Seconded by Warren.
Um, any discussion?
[31:28] Now, there should be
more businesses that
[31:31] would be applying for this, correct?
>> It would depend on where they're at.
[31:36] » Okay.
>> You know, if they fall under ours or if
[31:39] the
>> [cough]
[31:41] » township has delegated us to
>> Sure.
[31:44] » do their registrations for them.
>> Mhm.
[31:47] » But,
yeah, I think we have four of them now.
[31:50] » sell there.
>> It's just the the edible, the low
[31:53] potency edible.
>> Okay.
[31:55] And I suppose then like for businesses
within cities and the city has
[31:58] jurisdiction.
>> Correct. Yeah, it's kind of follows like
[32:01] the liquor license
>> Right.
[32:03] Yeah. Okay.
Uh, any other discussion?
[32:07] All those in favor say I.
>> I.
[32:09] » Opposed? Carried.
>> Second item I have is um, I was sent
[32:18] a resolution for the Middle Snake
Tamarack Rivers Watershed uh, to
[32:23] transfer a FEMA buyout property.
Um, as you can see on the summary,
[32:28] in October 25,
uh, they the Middle Snake Tamarack
[32:32] Rivers Watershed acted as the local unit
of government to help facilitate the
[32:36] land buyout
um between Mr. Clipping and FEMA.
[32:41] Um
a week or so ago
[32:45] they passed Middle Snake Tamarack passed
a resolution
[32:48] um
requesting to transfer the ownership to
[32:52] Polk County.
Um as
[32:55] their mission is not to
I think it's stated in the
[33:00] in the
motion here. Yeah.
[33:03] Uh
Yeah, it's not within the mission of of
[33:07] Middle Snake Tamarack Watershed to to
own flood buyout property.
[33:12] Um they feel it's more in our mission
to
[33:17] uh
have ownership of open land in the
[33:20] creation and maintenance of public
spaces for parks and recreation. This is
[33:24] not something I would see as park and
recreation.
[33:29] But it also
included all the covenants
[33:35] um of the Stafford Act
which really restrict it
[33:39] of no buildings on it. Um they can't you
know, you can't really improve the
[33:43] property. So it's it's green space.
>> Mhm.
[33:47] » Um but they're so they are looking for
us to
[33:50] purchase the property from them for $1.
That's what their resolution is.
[33:56] » How much is it? How many acres?
>> I believe it's
[34:00] » 13.9 something.
>> So yeah, 13.9.
[34:04] » [clears throat]
[34:07] » So this resolution that they passed
wouldn't actually do that. We would have
[34:10] to go through the
formal process of transferring the
[34:14] property.
Um but
[34:17] their side has approved doing it.
>> Do they pay for that transfer then?
[34:22] » We could work something out where we
would
[34:25] request that they do that.
>> Mhm.
[34:27] » And it might be something that I can
look into of
[34:29] being it's two entities, um government
entities of transferring like the
[34:34] recording fees of $46.
>> all of that.
[34:36] » I mean, at a total, are we looking at
100 bucks? Are we looking at 10,000?
[34:40] » No, the 46 for the closing or for the
recording.
[34:44] And if
>> I just look at it as the principle of
[34:47] the thing. You know, just because you're
government agency, why should you get
[34:50] away with not having to pay another
government what their fees are?
[34:54] » Split it.
>> Yeah.
[34:56] » It's just the principle thing.
[clears throat] That's why I asked.
[34:58] » Yeah, and I can look to see how we with
the other transfers we've done from
[35:02] these FEMA properties
Yeah. They were recorded at no fee or if
[35:05] there was a fee on them.
>> Do you know offhand how many
[35:11] these are?
>> bio properties we have?
[35:13] » Yeah.
>> Right offhand, I don't. I know of Is it
[35:17] two that we have leases on currently?
>> And is there buildings [clears throat]
[35:23] and such on this that we would have to
be
[35:25] » I believe they removed They removed
them.
[35:27] » I suppose when FEMA purchased
>> Yeah, when they Well, when they
[35:32] acted when they sold to
or acted as a fiscal agent, they had to
[35:36] remedy that, I believe.
>> Okay.
[35:38] » Um that was all in that
>> Cuz that can't have a property can't
[35:43] have any buildings on it.
>> It's not supposed to. Yeah, so not
[35:47] anything new for sure.
>> There's If there's an abandoned house on
[35:50] there,
>> Yeah, we don't want to be responsible
[35:51] for what happens there.
>> No insurance or
[35:54] » Yeah.
>> Yeah, and you got the well and
[35:58] » And so yeah, like
the FEMA ones that I looked at that Polk
[36:02] County was involved in
had all those laid out
[36:06] things like that laid out. This is the
same act
[36:09] like that they worked through. So, I
would assume it's the the same language,
[36:13] um but I can request that from Marie,
too, to see
[36:16] the language from him on
>> Which is Are there any future
[36:19] liabilities that
>> That's what Yeah, that's exactly what
[36:21] I'm asking, too.
>> Right. Um like I said, like it was the
[36:24] same the hazard mitigation funds,
everything was the same that
[36:28] from the flood buyouts that we had
completed, but I mean, I will get that
[36:32] from Mori.
>> It's smaller and it's
[36:35] very very 14 acres, but
other future like you know, what like
[36:40] wells and I think if if there's
buildings on there, but if you say that
[36:43] uh
>> I believe all that had to be like said
[36:46] mitigated.
>> It had to be prior.
[36:47] » And no caves, no things like that.
>> Right.
[36:50] » Okay.
All right.
[36:52] » Do Do you know I mean, are there other
properties around this one that are that
[36:58] we have as
>> No, I don't.
[37:02] » They're more
Let's see. This one is
[37:07] They're I think they're further south of
this one if I believe.
[37:10] » I don't know of any up there.
>> It's pretty close to me.
[37:12] » Mhm. Okay.
>> And again, you know, this one they just
[37:17] did the buyout in 2025.
I think this was one that Mark had
[37:20] brought.
>> Mhm.
[37:22] » Yes.
>> where it was sluffing
[37:24] » and stuff like
>> Something like that. There was some
[37:26] issues with it. So, Mark had brought it,
I think.
[37:28] » Mhm.
>> And we couldn't do anything or didn't do
[37:30] anything with it.
Um so, they went through
[37:34] the watershed to do what they do with
the buyout.
[37:38] » Mhm.
Mhm.
[37:40] Okay.
Uh so
[37:43] » have 100 in the county, do we? 200?
>> No, not even close.
[37:47] » Yeah.
>> That's why it's flood buyout.
[37:49] » Okay.
>> Um like I said, the the ones that I
[37:51] found were from the 1998 Osher flood.
>> Osher.
[37:54] » Mhm.
>> One would assume since it's a FEMA thing
[37:58] that all those
call it thoughts that we brought up
[38:02] have been addressed.
>> Correct.
[38:06] » Yeah, we will we will not
take ownership of it. I don't I'm
[38:10] assuming this is your stance that we
wouldn't take ownership if there are
[38:13] still buildings and things like that to
be
[38:15] demolished or the the site to be set
into the
[38:18] condition that it would be going
forward.
[38:21] » It should be there already.
>> It should be. I would I will double
[38:25] check with Mori, um but we can make the
motion if if you guys so choose that
[38:29] it's contingent upon
confirmation of all of that.
[38:33] » I'll move.
>> Okay.
[38:35] » Second.
>> With
[38:37] Do you want it being contingent on these
issues that we talked about or
[38:41] » Yes.
>> Okay.
[38:43] » I agree.
>> Um any more discussion?
[38:46] » just move forward with it.
>> Correct. Yeah, if if if I check with
[38:50] Mori and he confirms to me that
everything is Yep. No, there's nothing
[38:54] else on there. Everything that
was requested in the deed is good, we
[38:58] can
>> Move forward. Yeah.
[39:00] » Sounds good.
>> Okay. Any more discussion?
[39:03] All those in favor say aye.
>> Aye.
[39:05] » Opposed?
Carried.
[39:08] » Let's go back up.
>> Okay.
[39:13] Do you have anything, Chuck?
>> I don't. Um I did start working on uh
[39:20] your budget,
um
[39:22] my budget as well,
but nothing in particular.
[39:26] Um
[39:29] So if you have any ideas, just let me
know. I can add it in. Uh we still got
[39:34] plenty of time on that.
Um
[39:38] I was going to put budget on the agenda,
but it's been kind of a busy week with a
[39:42] short
>> Right.
[39:43] » Sure.
>> Mhm.
[39:44] » holiday and everything, so
Um
[39:47] that's pretty much all I've done.
>> Okay.
[39:51] Um well, then I suppose we should I'll
just take a break until
[39:56] » I I see them out there.
>> out there? Okay.
[40:00] » [clears throat]
>> I see the dates for Finance Committee
[40:03] are the 28th, 30th of July.
You had sent those out already.
[40:09] » Yeah, I have a doctor's appointment.
>> Yeah, at 8:00 a.m.
[40:12] » All right.
>> So
[40:14] done [clears throat] with that, I will
log in.
[40:16] » Okay.
>> So I don't know if there's anything big
[40:19] on it, but it's in Grand Forks.
>> It's in Grand Forks and it includes a
[40:22] work session. So, I don't know. I'm
assuming part of that is going to pay
[40:26] the attorney and
>> [laughter]
[40:28] » I'm pretty sure.
>> The engineer for
[40:30] » Yeah, but there should be a group
folks on the board that is going to be
[40:37] primarily working with that, right?
>> I would assume so. I don't know if we
[40:40] have anything set up yet.
But a work work session and 15
[40:46] You told me it could could last all
morning.
[40:48] » Yeah.
[40:58] » Good. We have a group today.
>> We have a big group today. Awesome.
[41:01] Bring them on in.
[41:04] Oh, hey there.
Good morning. Fancy seeing you again
[41:07] this morning.
>> [laughter]
[41:10] » That doesn't sound good.
>> Well, I seen him last night.
[41:15] » That's still pretty late.
>> No,
[41:18] we had a little roadside chat.
>> [laughter]
[41:21] » Maybe they all know my vehicle.
>> I don't even know your vehicle.
[41:24] » We got the Don Don Dockendorf.
>> I Well, I was thinking of Diedrick, too.
[41:28] Of course, he was a state patrol he had
he was friends with, so.
[41:31] » Okay, good morning.
>> Good morning, Don.
[41:34] » I will go through the sheriff's report.
This is for May.
[41:38] And for the month of May, we had our
document and services. We had 71 total
[41:43] come in through our office.
And our paid services
[41:48] are 2,183
76.
[41:53] I can find the button.
And then our no charge services, we had
[41:56] 1,180.
Good morning.
[42:00] Um
for the for our [clears throat]
[42:03] transports for the month of May
we had a total of uh
[42:08] 5,543
[42:12] .3 miles.
And we had a total of 153
[42:17] .15 deputy hours.
Um our mental health was way up. We had
[42:23] 1,950
miles with that.
[42:27] Our
our Minnesota prison transports was
[42:31] 3179,
out of state 141, and then uh
[42:36] um our ME was 73, and our federal um is
down
[42:42] 195 versus what we've had before in the
past. It's been up in the
[42:48] the well, May federal transports
and uh compared to 1,822
[42:56] that was in April. So
[43:01] » [snorts]
[43:04] » Here's a look at it again. Kind of the
breakdown.
[43:07] Our federal transports 377
760. Hold on, I'm sorry, that's 25.
[43:14] » Oh.
>> It's There we go.
[43:16] One
For our other counties, we had 1,269,
[43:20] so that was up, but uh
the transport one, you can see it really
[43:24] dropped on that. So, it depends on what
trials they have going on and
[43:29] that type of stuff. So,
other than that, it just keeps us busy.
[43:33] » What are we paying for them?
My other
[43:35] counties.
Is that at the federal mileage rate, or
[43:39] is there
more involved in that?
[43:41] » That they paid, I don't know exactly
what they paid, but that all goes to the
[43:46] tri-county.
>> Oh.
[43:48] » Yeah, we don't get that reimbursement.
That's through tri-county with the
[43:53] transports and everything else like
that.
[43:55] » Yeah, and that's where 88% of that is
regardless.
[43:58] » Yeah.
Yeah, for that.
[44:01] For keeping them in housing them.
>> Mhm.
[44:05] » So, okay, and for our
our in-county or dispatch, we had a
[44:10] total of
I swear I hate this thing. Um we had a
[44:15] total of 2,700
and 36 calls that came through the
[44:21] dispatch center. 724 of those being
emergency see
[44:27] and then 2,012 of those being
non-emergency.
[44:32] So, that continues to stay up about the
same on that.
[44:38] And then we go through the calls for
service for the month of May.
[44:46] We had a total of 754
calls for service, and as you can see
[44:52] um our animal complaints and animals, we
had a total of 23 there. That's from
[44:58] deer to lost horses to lost cows
to dogs, um
[45:05] that keeps us busy running around.
Um our sister agencies, we had 14. Boat
[45:10] and water, seven contacts. Civil
process, we had 140.
[45:15] Um
we ended up having seven total
[45:19] domestics, uh four of those being
violent. DUI arrests were six.
[45:24] And our emotional distress, we had four.
[45:29] Um some of the other ones we had our
info tip line, um stays busy, which is
[45:35] nice. Our motor assists, we had 26. Um
we had uh total of 13 motor vehicle
[45:42] crashes with one being fatal.
And then our public assist, we had 20.
[45:48] School patrol, the end of the year we
had 60.
[45:53] And then our activity, we had activity
persons and vehicles, we had a total of
[45:58] 21 there.
Um
[46:02] our theft guy gas drive-offs
reported on sub five for that. Their
[46:08] traffic stops for the month. Thank you
to
[46:11] Deputy Thonus, um 226, so
I think he was finishing out his PTO
[46:18] training, so.
Anyways, so that's the total and two
[46:22] within air, so it's a total of 754.
And then I also added for the month is
[46:30] the April month to look back on if you
needed to, so.
[46:35] Any questions with the reports?
