And so we have time on our agenda for uh 20 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:40,000 visitor comments on any agenda item. Uh any item that is on our current agenda. 21 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:45,280 Do we have any uh members of the audience who would like to come forward 22 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:49,040 and speak on any agenda item? Right. Seeing none, we have general 23 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:54,320 visitor comments. Do we have any visitors in the audience who would like 24 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:58,880 to make a general visitor comment? Right. Seeing none, we will move on to 25 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:06,640 the approval of our consent agenda items. The consent agenda items are on 26 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:12,480 pages 7 through 11 in our packets. And we tonight we're approving on our 27 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:18,160 consent agenda the following uh employee appointments. Amy Cam, maintenance 28 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:22,640 superintendent. Uh Samuel Pledo, police patrol officer.

The SK and then the schedule of dispersements for August 31 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:38,560 7th, 2026 through August 20th, 2026. Are there any uh comments or questions 32 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:42,080 on the consent agenda? >> Uh council member Dvas. 33 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,640 » Yeah, I have a question. Well, basically related to construction services. Um 34 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,560 we're approving the add the manage the contract uh for construction services, 35 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,040 but construction has already started on it. Correct. 36 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:57,040 » Is this something that should have been done before we started construction? 37 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,200 » It would have been fantastic had we done that. However, a lot of the construction 38 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:05,040 services can occur really started today and so there's ample time. This is a lot 39 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,159 of making sure that the quantities are right. Making sure that staking is 40 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,480 appropriate. Make sure that the right amount of thickness all of those types 41 00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:16,640 of things are done. And then the wrap paperwork as it relates to the contract. 42 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:21,440 Have the appropriate been counted. Is it the right unit price? Those types of 43 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:26,080 activities. And maybe most importantly, ensuring that it's built according to 44 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,840 specifications or if there's a need for a change to the specifications that it's 45 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:36,239 rational, reasonable will help the project follow through. 46 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:41,280 Any other questions? If not, I will take a motion to approve 47 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,920 the consent agenda. >> So moved. Second. 48 00:03:42,959 --> 00:03:50,319 » Have a motion in a second. Um, we will take a roll call vote. Go ahead, Kesha. 49 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,760 » Council member Wenfeld. >> I. 50 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,280 » Council member Zstrom. >> I. 51 00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,799 » Council member Devos. >> I. 52 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,239 » Council member Johnson. >> I. 53 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,560 » Council member Pettis. >> I. 54 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,879 » The consent agenda is approved. Next up, we have unfinished business, which there 55 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:09,519 is no unfinished business. So, we're going to move on to new business. And 56 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,040 the first item of new business is the Co North development agreement. And Todd, 57 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,120 are you taking this one? >> I'm taking this one. I'm sorry Ben isn't 58 00:04:14,799 --> 00:04:20,320 here tonight. Um, and I know you talked all of you had the opportunity to speak 59 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,960 to Ben about this and he's articulated some of the main points here. Um, let me 60 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,400 go through a few items that I think are major important to you. First of all, 61 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,680 the request tonight is for you to approve a resolution that allows the 62 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,160 mayor and the city administrator to enter into a development agreement with 63 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:41,680 CO North. As many of you know, Coor is a not for profit that's located in 64 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:47,120 Minnesota. Its home bases in Minnesota. Its primary mission over the past more 65 00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:51,919 than a decade has really been in the acquisition of troubled manufactured 66 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:59,840 housing communities and developing them into a co-op model where residents of 67 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:05,040 the neighborhood are folks that manage, own, and make sure to take care of the 68 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,840 the spot that they're in. You'll see there are a few timelines that we 69 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,840 mentioned here, but at least from my perspective, and um council members, you 70 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,800 might remember this as well. This is a project that you've been talking about 71 00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:19,680 and working on for a couple of years now. Um really, the development 72 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:23,759 agreement outlines the stuff that's necessary to make sure that we 73 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:28,639 understand and they understand what the other party is looking for as a part of 74 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:33,199 this new type of subdivision. Um this is a high density neighborhood, um more 75 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,560 dense than you've seen in previous neighborhoods. It will be um 76 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,720 it will be composed of city-owned infrastructure. So the streets and the 77 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:46,800 storm water, the w water, sewer, all of those kind of things will be owned by 78 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:52,400 the city. Um which is different than what we see in um some neighborhoods 79 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:57,039 that you have within our community, but much more similar. In fact, exactly like 80 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,280 the other housing subdivisions that you have like Traverse Green, Nicola 81 00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:05,600 Meadows, Standard Subdivision, and others. So, it follows that pattern. It 82 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,919 will be owned by the co-op. So, the residents will be members of that co-op. 83 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,960 And so, they'll make decisions related to the operations of the neighborhood 84 00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:18,560 and how lots are leased or not leased, how that works, and they'll be supported 85 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:24,800 by Conor. One of Conor North strengths, of course, has been to help these other 86 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:29,199 entities um have governance skills and managerial skills in making this move 87 00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:34,240 forward. So, we're excited about that. This will be facility built housing and 88 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:39,120 so it will be housing that is largely manufactured not necessarily built to 89 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:43,520 stick on site and so that does a number of things for us including creates 90 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:47,680 additional affordability along with the density and one of the council's goals 91 00:06:45,039 --> 00:06:51,759 related to housing has certainly been to reach as far as we can to ensure that 92 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,039 workforce and affordable housing is available for the entire community and 93 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,199 frankly for folks that want to come to your community and network and live 94 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,840 here. Um, so that's really important and so we'll be meeting some of the price 95 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:09,120 points that have been discussed previously in meeting that entry 96 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:12,639 levelvel marketplace. Um, we'll own the sidewalks, will own the streets, the 97 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,599 curb and gutters. So that will make sure to be um, kept up appropriately based on 98 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,680 decisions that the council makes. Um, this is different than what we see in 99 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,720 some other communities. Be happy to go through any of the information that's 100 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,199 included in the packet and talk specifically about the agreement. Um, if 101 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:33,520 you want, we've gone through this previously at a workshop at a high level 102 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:38,000 of detail and outlined really the agreement in total. Um, including the 103 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:42,080 fees that they're expected to pay, the $30,000 down that they have to provide 104 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:46,160 to enter into this agreement for the city, how engineering is going to work, 105 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,080 when do they or when does the city have the opportunity um to say we're going to 106 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,039 stop, we're not interested in pursuing further. Um it outlines the type of 107 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:59,360 housing, the approximate number of housing units. Uh we also outline and 108 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,199 require as a part of the development agreement mortgage products that will be 109 00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:06,800 available to folks and we think that's been a significant issue and there's 110 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:12,319 been some developments over the last year that make this more attainable. So 111 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:16,080 we're excited about that. Again, um madame mayor prom and members happy to 112 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:22,319 answer any questions about the development agreement. On page 51, I 113 00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:26,400 believe, is the um resolution um to allow the city administrator and the 114 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:30,240 mayor to enter into the agreement. Again, happy to answer any questions. 115 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:35,680 And there's some fantastic materials that um Co North has provided that's 116 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:38,640 also in their packet that describe many of the things that they're doing and 117 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,159 their perspective on the project overall. 118 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:46,240 » Before we take comments, do you want to just note the change on the handout 119 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:50,080 development agreement? Yeah, on your desk is a is the development agreement 120 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,000 and it is only slightly different from the development agreement that you saw 121 00:08:51,519 --> 00:09:00,800 at your workshop. And so that change is on page three on item number seven. This 122 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,760 relates to the conversation about continuing to try and work towards a 123 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:10,720 reduction in your fiber or carbon footprint. Um and so this provides a 124 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,640 little bit more specificity than the previous language related to utilization 125 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:20,160 of electrical connections and the requirements that stoves um water 126 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:24,080 heaters and closed dryers be electric. This allows you to move forward um again 127 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,920 and trying to reduce your carbon footprint within this neighborhood. 128 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,279 » Any comments or questions? Council member DVOS. 129 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:36,720 » Uh I'd just like uh thank staff for uh moving quickly in updating uh section 7. 130 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,120 I I do appreciate them uh reaching out today and getting that and getting that 131 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:45,839 fixed. So, >> any other questions or comments from 132 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:50,160 council members? >> The only other comment that I'd make, 133 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:59,040 Madame Mayor Prom, is that um I think it's important to note that this mixture 134 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:04,000 of tools and resources is untested. This is new. These are all tools that 135 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,760 you've used previously. They've been used in different types of applications. 136 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:12,080 They've been used at different levels. It's a different kind of cake. The 137 00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:15,839 ingredients are there, but in different proportions compared to what you've seen 138 00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:19,839 previously. And so I think one of the things that's interesting and and at 139 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:24,160 least a few of you have commented to me that it's interesting maybe to be on the 140 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,399 forefront in this kind of area meeting these affordability and workforce 141 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:32,240 opportunities much like you were previously with Nicola Meadows 142 00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,920 Washington Terrace and Traverse Green which have worked out very well for the 143 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:40,079 community. So, I think that's not unimportant and I think it does provide 144 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,200 opportunity for some of the grant resources that we talked about within 145 00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:46,240 the body of the memo and are anticipating through Minnesota Housing 146 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,200 Finance, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund and others. 147 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:54,160 » Well, and I think we did our due diligence as a council. We talked about 148 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:58,320 this for months and um you know it really is good governance to kind of 149 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:04,000 question something new, question the location, talk about it in depth and um 150 00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:08,880 I appreciate the discussions that we had together and and where we're at right 151 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:11,920 now. And um I think this will be a great addition to our community. That was 152 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:19,040 never in question. We all agreed on that. And uh yes. So um without further 153 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,800 ado, we will um consider their resolution approving a development 154 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,160 agreement with CO North for the new north development. 155 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:26,320 » Okay. >> Yes. 156 00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:29,920 » Oh, I had my hand up. I'm sorry. I think it is worth noting um for anyone who's 157 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:36,000 listening or who has been following this for the last year now. Um, we did look 158 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:40,480 at lots of different locations >> and at the end of the day, we as a 159 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:44,320 council agreed that we wanted to do this project for affordability. What we 160 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,000 didn't agree upon was where we were going to do it. And simply put, after 161 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:53,279 looking at all of the other viable options, 162 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:56,560 this was the most appropriate fit because we've owned the land for so 163 00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,720 long. And I think it's important for people or anyone who's viewing this to 164 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,920 know all other options would have required us to raise taxes to fund this 165 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,079 project. >> Thank you. Any other comments or 166 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:11,680 questions? >> Todd, what's our ongoing financial 167 00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:15,920 liability with this? >> Your ongoing financial liability will be 168 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:20,639 just like you have really with any other subdivision. Um, so you'll be 169 00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:23,200 responsible for plowing and maintaining the streets and seal coating the streets 170 00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:26,399 and doing all those things like you do in any other subdivision. I guess my 171 00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:30,560 question is more so we're we're donating the land for this and then we're 172 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,639 providing them several loans in relation to um 173 00:12:32,959 --> 00:12:37,519 » development and infrastructure. Is there anything beyond that? 174 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,839 » No, there really isn't anything beyond that besides the commitment to assist in 175 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,639 applications for grants and those types of things. So, one could argue there's a 176 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:48,079 little bit of a cost to be write a letter, those types of things, but 177 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:53,120 » yeah, nothing that significant. And I mean the primary funding source for this 178 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:58,399 will be under Minnesota statute 429 where Cone North uh the co-op um is 179 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,880 assessed for the street, sewer, sidewalks, all of those kind of things. 180 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:08,720 Again, just like really any other subdivision that you've put together 181 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:12,399 over the last 15 or 20 years. >> Any other questions or comments before 182 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:16,399 we Okay. Um, the resolution approving the 183 00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:21,279 development agreement with Cone North is on pages 50 and 51 of the packet. Do I 184 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,959 have a motion to approve? >> So move. 185 00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:27,279 » Second. >> We have a motion in a second. Uh, call 186 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,959 the role, please. >> Council member Sharstrom. 187 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:30,800 » I. >> Council member Devos. 188 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,480 » I. >> Council member Johnson. 189 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,920 » I. >> Council member Pettis. 190 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760 » Hi. >> Council member Wisel. 191 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,560 » I. >> Resolution is approved. 192 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,120 All right. Next we have the wastewater treatment plant switchge gear 193 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:51,279 replacement and we have Pete here to talk to us about that. 194 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:56,480 » City council um before you you have a request uh to replace a switch gear 195 00:13:54,160 --> 00:14:02,079 transfer switch uh at the wastewater plant. As you guys know, we use the 196 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:06,639 wastewater plant uh to treat water that goes to the Minnesota River. Uh we also 197 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:12,320 have backup generation [snorts] which we rely on heavily to uh help us load shed 198 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:17,040 during the summertime to try to keep our peak and coincidental peak with our 199 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:21,839 electrical provider at its lowest point that we can possibly manage. Uh during a 200 00:14:19,839 --> 00:14:26,160 June event, as you know, when we had all that hot weather right around the 201 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:30,480 fourth, um the unit did fail and it causes some concerns because we didn't 202 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:36,000 know what level of loss we were going to have. Um, we had some electrical panels 203 00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:40,320 that did go out. Uh, we had Ziggler down here to take a look at it. Of course, it 204 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:44,880 runs the Ziggler CAT uh, generating unit. That's a 2 megawatt unit. Uh, so 205 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,120 it's very important to our, uh, portfolio. 206 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:53,600 Um, they looked at it, uh, said that you could probably get parts. Don't know how 207 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:58,160 long they would last. If we could get parts, they'd be used. uh we need a 208 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:02,320 different level of dependability in order to make this facility operate the 209 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,720 way we need it to. Uh so what we did is we went through the Sourcewell 210 00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:12,399 competitive purchasing um process and had Ziggler supply a new transfer switch 211 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:16,959 and switch gear as part of that price which seems to be the best overall fit 212 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:21,519 for us. Um, and so what we wanted to do here tonight was authorize repair or 213 00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:26,760 replacement of the switch gear through Ziggler, uh, in the amount of 283,25176. 214 00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:33,199 Uh, we don't know exactly how we're going to pay for it yet. It's either 215 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:37,600 going to be through reserves in the wastewater plant, which we have adequate 216 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:41,360 funding for, or we may finance it as part of our overall finance package with 217 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:46,399 a variety of other projects that we have going. Um, and I think you're aware of 218 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,920 where that's that's uh set up to go in the process. And so at this time, we'd 219 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:54,560 ask that you approve the resolution on page 54. 220 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:58,160 » Any questions or comments? >> Pete, the reason this is important is 221 00:15:56,079 --> 00:16:02,240 because if there happens to be maybe a big transmission failure in the region 222 00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:06,079 and electricity is out here. Yep. >> This is the thing that helps keep that 223 00:16:04,079 --> 00:16:09,759 waste water plant going, which is >> still treat waste water. Yes, sir. 224 00:16:07,839 --> 00:16:13,759 » Helps keep sewage out of your basement. >> That's right. 225 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:16,560 » Yep. important stuff, >> right? 226 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:23,320 » Uh well, first I think this really is kind of a crappy resolution. [laughter] 227 00:16:20,079 --> 00:16:23,320 » Oh boy. 228 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:29,680 » Um and in seriousness, um >> he gets one a meeting. 229 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:34,560 » I get one a meeting. [laughter] >> Stinks. 230 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:40,196 Pete >> doesn't need a food right now. 231 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,040 » Um so I replacing the switch gear. Um >> [clears throat] 232 00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:46,800 » Is there anything you said the generator controls are 23 years old? Are there any 233 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:50,399 other parts of this that you're worried about failure uh basically 234 00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:55,279 » continually? >> And so I guess looking at this from a 235 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:59,920 long term uh is there from a maintenance perspective, is there any preventive 236 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:03,600 stuff you can look at as far as or I I guess I'm looking at we're spending 237 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,160 283,000 now. What are you going to run into another problem next year that's 238 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,919 going to cost us? >> Yeah. Not with the switch gear unit. You 239 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:14,799 know, you always have software updates for your uh generation facilities. We've 240 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:19,199 gone through that with our generation facility up on top of the hill. Uh we've 241 00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:22,480 tried to phase that in a variety of different things. You know, you're 242 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:27,760 always one lightning strike away from some kind of disaster at the wastewater 243 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:29,520 plant or at any any electrical facility. So, 244 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,240 » well, lightning strikes, that's insurance. 245 00:17:30,632 --> 00:17:36,080 » [laughter] >> still still puts us in kind of dire 246 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,000 straits, but this is the best that we can do with what we're at right now. 247 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:43,679 » I I think if I could, Pete had mentioned to me that I think a real important 248 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:49,360 perspective is that as the council continues to move forward towards some 249 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,039 major um improvements to the wastewater treatment plant replacements. You know, 250 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:57,200 we talked about it being 23 to 24 years old. It needs new struts and brakes and 251 00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:00,080 all those things. This is the kind of stuff that will support that going 252 00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:04,080 forward. So, There won't be any modifications that are necessary as you 253 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:07,919 move forward with the improvements that are really necessary for that wastewater 254 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:13,840 treatment plant. And that's that's not a minor consideration as we do this. We'd 255 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:19,440 hate to put 15 16 17 million in the wastewater treatment plant and this be 256 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:23,120 wink link because we bought uh park that was used from other places, you know, 257 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,240 and so important. >> Yeah. And I'm not questioning needing to 258 00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:29,919 replace. I'm just questioning do we have other things that we're concerned about 259 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,280 at this point? Yeah, we've we we've got a plan for phasing in some of those 260 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,039 improvements. >> Yeah. And some of that relates to the 261 00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:42,080 work that you've been doing with MPCA and the changes that you're looking to 262 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:47,200 make going forward with that plan. >> Any other questions or comments? 263 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:51,039 All right. The resolution authorizing emergency replacement of water 264 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:55,600 wastewater treatment plant switch gear is on page 54. Do I have a motion to 265 00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:58,320 approve? >> So moved. 266 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,080 » Second. We have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. 267 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,000 » Council member Debas, >> I. 268 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,520 » Council member Johnson, >> I. 269 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,039 » Council member Pettis, >> I. 270 00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:08,400 » Council member Wel, >> I. 271 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,880 » Council member Sh. >> I. 272 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:18,160 » Resolution is approved. Next on our agenda, it we have the front street 273 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:22,320 substation switch gear upgrade. And Pete is here to talk about this one as well. 274 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:27,840 » Right. This project has been completed. This is the formality that follows most 275 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:33,120 of those projects. Um, back in spring of 2024, uh, Harold Schultz was hired to 276 00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:39,919 make the second phase improvements of the Front Street substation. Um, as you 277 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:44,559 may or may not remember, back in 2018, we did the first phase of this project 278 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:50,080 and it went really well. We tra uh changed out one of the transformers at 279 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:54,400 that time and uh this phase here we changed out the other transformer 280 00:19:51,840 --> 00:20:00,320 million dollars for six circuits that we upgraded and changed. Uh we did change 281 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,200 out uh not only the transformer but reclosures and voltage regulators. We 282 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:08,960 got the areas that were basically causing us outages because of the 283 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:14,559 squirrels that would get in there. Went to a more dependable system. uh about 284 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:23,760 time again the unit was old old and older. Um and uh this is a 138 um KV 285 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:28,000 system and we did upgrade all six electrical circuits that feed out of 286 00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:34,799 that substation on the second phase and added dependability and um redistributed 287 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:38,799 some of the uh load on those breakers. Uh the original contract price was 288 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,640 $250,900 and the construction cost came in at 289 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:47,919 $250,900 and so it was right on schedule. Uh 290 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:52,080 Harold Schultz did a great job for us, worked really closely with Jason and his 291 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,919 crew to get that accomplished. Uh we just recently received the asbuilts for 292 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,760 that project and that's why we're bringing this forward to get the final 293 00:20:57,919 --> 00:21:04,799 project approved and the final payment to the contractor. 294 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:09,440 » Any questions or comments for Pete? Well, this was a long time coming to get 295 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:13,280 to this point, the end the end uh game here. I know many of us I remember us 296 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:18,640 talking about, you know, just even ordering it and having it the lead time 297 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:23,520 being so long. So, this is a milestone to get to this point. The resolution 298 00:21:21,679 --> 00:21:28,159 accepting the switch gear improvements at the front street substation as 299 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:31,840 complete and authorizing final payment is on page 56. We have a motion to 300 00:21:30,559 --> 00:21:34,880 approve. >> So moved. Second. 301 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,360 » We have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. 302 00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:39,039 » Council member Johnson, >> I. 303 00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:40,799 » Council member Pettis. >> I. 304 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320 » Council member Wisen. >> I. 305 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,840 » Council member Shro. >> I. 306 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,280 » Council member Deos. >> I. 307 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:52,799 » Next on our agenda, library flooring replacement project bid acceptance. 308 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,559 » So Ryan is here from the recreational services department, which of course 309 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,720 includes all things recreation, including the library. And so Orion, 310 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:04,720 I'll let you talk about this one which has been in the works now for a couple 311 00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:09,120 of years as well. >> So the uh uh obviously the library 312 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:16,159 flooring is in need of replacement and um after u the uh it was out for bid 313 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:22,000 burger interiors was the successful and sole bidder at a total of 100,18985. 314 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:28,559 a second company called All Furniture has been secured to do the moving um of 315 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:33,200 all the shelves and the library staff is taking this opportunity uh to do some 316 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:40,159 rearranging as well. So, kind of getting a couple things done at once. Um 317 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:43,840 and the brief schedule on that is uh they'll start Friday, September 11th, 318 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,640 moving crew will show up. Monday the 14th, the library will still be open to 319 00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:52,320 the public. some areas will be closed and through the 15th, 16th, and 17th, 320 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:56,960 the library will be closed to the public. Um the staff will still be able 321 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:01,520 to work in there and they'll be able to do um uh people will still be able to 322 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:04,080 come and pick up holds during that time. And 323 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:07,305 » so Ryan, just if I can ask, so you guys have set up a system so that if I had a 324 00:23:05,679 --> 00:23:10,640 book on order or I called in and said [clears throat] I wanted the latest John 325 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,200 Gisham novel and we had it, I could come to the door and somebody would help me 326 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,400 get it. I wouldn't have to I wouldn't get to go inside, but we'd set it up. 327 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:20,080 drive-thru library >> pretty much a little bit like CO but a 328 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,080 little more interaction. Yeah. So >> fantastic. Yeah. How great. 329 00:23:21,679 --> 00:23:27,360 » And then back again uh Friday, September 18th, open to the public with some 330 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,600 limited access and then all should be up and running the following week. 331 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,400 » So in total the parts of the library will be out of commission just for a few 332 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,080 days it sounds like. >> Yeah. Yep. 333 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,159 » Okay. >> And what what is the communication plan 334 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:45,120 » to to the public? >> So we'll uh utilize Corey on our staff. 335 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,480 uh she's done a great job of getting those things out to the public. Uh it'll 336 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,080 be posted and the the library has a number of channels as well and 337 00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:54,960 throughout the building too. So >> So when you approve there'll be a flood 338 00:23:53,679 --> 00:23:58,240 of information over the next week that will go out to folks to make them aware. 339 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,120 » Sounds good. Any other questions or comments? 340 00:23:59,919 --> 00:24:04,559 Council member Damas. >> Um so well number one it's great to see 341 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,600 it 50,000 under budget but does that include the moving or how much does the 342 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,880 move or how much is the moving going to cost approximately? 343 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:17,440 » Yeah, good question. Um the move uh cost is $20,000 on the head. So, so basically 344 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,000 uh 30,000 under budget. >> That's correct. 345 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,120 » If you keep doing that while you're here, I hope you have 346 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:26,320 » Well, [laughter] I I would love to take uh um some credit for that, but I can't. 347 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,919 So, >> so thank you. 348 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:34,720 » Yeah. >> Any other questions or comments? 349 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:39,840 If not, the resolution awarding the bid for 2026 library 350 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:44,799 flooring replacement project to Burger Interiors is on page 58. Do I have a 351 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,159 motion to approve? >> Some moved. 352 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,360 » Second. >> A motion and a second. Call the role, 353 00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:50,960 please. >> Council member Pettis. 354 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720 » I. >> Council member Wenfeld. 355 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,400 » I. >> Council member Sharstrom. 356 00:24:53,919 --> 00:24:56,080 » I. >> Council member Devos. 357 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:01,600 » I. >> Council member Johnson. 358 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:04,720 » I. Our last item of new business is city assistance requests for the St. Peter 359 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,960 Art Stroll. >> Mayor members, the or mayor prom and 360 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:12,400 members, the St. Peter art stroll has been going on for a while. Our support 361 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:16,320 in this is something that we provided last year. Um the thought here was to 362 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:22,000 formalize it just a little bit more. And this really includes authorizing Pete's 363 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:26,559 crew to put up some specialized banners in the downtown area related to 364 00:25:24,159 --> 00:25:31,600 promotion of the stroll. So that they the promotion occurs a little bit before 365 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:36,320 but also as a part of the art stroll. The estimated cost we think is around 366 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:43,120 $500 or so. And um the request is in front of you as is a resolution 367 00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:48,480 providing approval on page 60. >> Any comments or questions? 368 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:53,200 All right. Just want to say thank you to public works for assisting uh this uh 369 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:57,440 annual event and for all the businesses that participate, including the 370 00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:01,760 community members that put it on the resolution authorizing city assistance 371 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:07,200 for St. the St. Peter Art Stroll on September 26 to 27th, 2026 is on page 372 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:08,480 60. Do I have a motion to approve? >> So move. 373 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,200 » Second. >> Have a motion and a second. Call the 374 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,799 role, please. >> Council member Wisenfeld. 375 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,520 » I. >> Council member Sharstrom. 376 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,279 » I. Council member Devos. >> I. 377 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720 » Council member Johnson. >> I. 378 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,559 » Council member Pettis. >> Hi. 379 00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:28,799 » The resolution is approved. Next on our agenda, we have reports. And as mayor 380 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:32,960 prom, I just have one report. Um I attended my second meeting with the 381 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:38,159 League of Minnesota Cities, our board meeting. Um and I just wanted to 382 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:42,640 highlight that um dues will not increase beyond 4%. Um, as I talked about 383 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:47,440 earlier, the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities dues are flat this 384 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:53,360 year. Um, we found out that the league dues won't increase beyond 4%. That gets 385 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:59,440 finalized later on, but at least we can budget for um what is expected. And then 386 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:04,640 there's a new program with the league that um sounds really exciting. It's not 387 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:08,480 just for newly elected, it's for um it's a continuing education program for all 388 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:13,600 council members that want to partake. It's voluntary. It's called uh the 389 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:18,720 electric electric talking a lot about electricity today. Um elected leaders 390 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:24,159 institute certificate. Um more information will come out in November. 391 00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:28,720 Uh but it's a great opportunity to engage with the league in their learning 392 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,279 opportunities. And then there's a certificate process and a recognition 393 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,760 not at this upcoming league conference but the conference in 2028. And it's 394 00:27:35,679 --> 00:27:42,400 free. And so it's a combination of in-person learning and um online 395 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,559 learning. And the the learning would have to take place within two years, but 396 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:51,120 it can be accomplished in one year. So I think it's a great a great new program 397 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:55,520 that allows us as council members to continue learning and um engaging in the 398 00:27:53,679 --> 00:27:59,919 resources that are available to us through these different um you know 399 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,559 entities like the league that want to support us. And then it also helps us 400 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,520 engage with uh the league more to see what they have available. So, I just 401 00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:10,960 wanted to give you all a heads up that more information will be coming out 402 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:15,440 November, but that was that program was just approved. 403 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:19,840 Do any council members have reports? >> I guess I just have a question. Will 404 00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:21,039 this be our last formal council meeting >> in this room 405 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,360 » in this room? >> Yeah. 406 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:29,679 » Um, hang tight. We're really close to having a final on when that will occur. 407 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,880 So, um, hang tight. Continue to watch your agendas and we'll make sure that we 408 00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:36,240 promote as much as possible as we're able to make that change. 409 00:28:34,159 --> 00:28:41,520 » How long How long have you been here? >> Uh we've been here since 2002, I 410 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:45,520 believe, Darl, if I remember correctly. Maybe 2003. 411 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:52,080 » Yeah, it's been a great spot. Um the new spot will be great as well. And there'll 412 00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:55,120 be um technology that will mean that Tony or Katherine won't have to set up 413 00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:58,320 all the wires and everything. It's embedded. It'll be a little bit clearer, 414 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:02,559 better, sound will be better, those types of things, which will be great as 415 00:29:00,399 --> 00:29:05,520 frankly more people watch you online than come here to watch your council 416 00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:08,559 meetings. So, it's great to be able to have that opportunity. 417 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:11,600 » Will we still have Tony and Katherine, though? 418 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:15,120 » We we still will as long as they're interested in continuing to do it. Yes, 419 00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:17,919 we still will. And they do a number of things. Of course, they help with school 420 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,679 board, which um the school board contracts through you to provide 421 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,760 services for that. And we have a number of other things according to a policy 422 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:34,080 that we provide for uh support on like lead women voters candidate forums. 423 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,799 » Any other reports from council members? If not, we'll move on to our city 424 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:40,240 administrator. >> Madame Mayor Prom, I have three that I 425 00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:45,520 want to mention. One I'm going to hit Pete up on. So, Pete, Fourth Street, um, 426 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,799 started today. Can you talk just a little bit about that and kind of what 427 00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:52,480 the timeline is? That's probably what most people are interested in besides 428 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:56,159 all the folks that want to come down there and see all the big equipment 429 00:29:53,919 --> 00:30:00,240 moving around. Well, I haven't been down there yet today. So, um but removals 430 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:06,880 will be the first thing that happen along the line and um setting up um silk 431 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:10,960 fence and storm water protection areas. Um we've been working with homeowners 432 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:16,159 along the line there to identify a scope of work on private property. Those are 433 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:20,240 all taken care of by waiverss. Um should be most of those projects uh have been 434 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,679 identified already. So, we've got a couple of tail enders there that we're 435 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:29,440 still working with. Uh then what they'll do is do is they'll set up temporary 436 00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:34,960 water which is 99% complete. Uh sanitary sewer and then water man will go through 437 00:30:32,159 --> 00:30:39,120 uh anticipated completion is still on schedule for November. So it'll take 438 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:43,039 about 60 days to get all the utility underground worked and they'll come in 439 00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:45,520 for curbon gutter and then asphalt for the roadway. 440 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:50,559 » It'll be a nice improvement certainly in that area. And this is the area at least 441 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:55,120 much of it is adjacent to the pool. >> That's right. Um, and we are one of the 442 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,880 bigger contributors to the cost of this overall project. Uh, but one of the 443 00:30:57,279 --> 00:31:01,840 areas down there, this will improve the water flow in the area for fire 444 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,840 protection. That's one of the biggest benefits of this. 445 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:10,320 » Sure. And PE, if people notice that there's uh equipment, people digging in 446 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,840 yards and stuff up and down Scarrow. That's not the city of St. Peter, 447 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,600 correct? >> Correct. That's correct. 448 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:19,360 » Who is that? >> Um, that is your MetroNet um doing 449 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:23,039 additional fiber work there. So there's a number of companies right now doing 450 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,320 that kind of work within the community >> all subs 451 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:30,399 » and um so if people have questions we're certainly happy to help them. Um but 452 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,960 there's you got to make sure that you're 453 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,679 protecting your own property and those types of things and we've had a lot of 454 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,000 good information that's gone out in that meeting. 455 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,760 » I just know I I just know a couple weeks ago when they were doing work along 456 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,640 there people were confusing it with the city work that was going up there on 457 00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:50,799 fourth street. Yeah, hopefully um we've at least tried we have tried really hard 458 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:55,039 to reduce the amount of confusion. It's hard. People are in your boulevard and 459 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,120 digging stuff up and hard to sometimes figure that out. 460 00:31:56,399 --> 00:32:01,440 » Pete, thank you. >> Y 461 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:06,000 » um next I have on my list is Ryan again. Um the council may remember that you 462 00:32:03,679 --> 00:32:12,000 budgeted for what is really the first time since 2002 2003 that we've fully 463 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,399 redone the gym floor. So Ryan, that's going to go on. So, we want to talk 464 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,960 about that because that affects the community. So many people use that 465 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,720 facility. >> Sure. Uh so we get a call. We knew it 466 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:23,919 was going to be sometime in the next couple weeks depending on how the 467 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,279 contractor's other jobs went and he called uh today. He said he'll be 468 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:34,559 starting tomorrow. So um we put out word again through our channels and um they 469 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:40,080 it'll be about a two-eek process during which time the gym and the walking track 470 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,880 will be closed. Um there may be some limited access to the walking track in 471 00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:46,799 the next day or two, but for now we're just going to say it's both are closed 472 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:51,120 unless there's some circum special circumstances. Um again another example 473 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:57,679 of our staff making lemonade out of lemons. Um so we found out this early 474 00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:01,760 this morning by noon today. Kayla had already uh put a popup program on and 475 00:32:59,679 --> 00:33:05,519 out there for uh people to come in and um roller skate in the gym one uh one 476 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,120 time here before the floors are all redone. 477 00:33:05,919 --> 00:33:10,000 » Yeah, normally we wouldn't let that. That would be a no no 478 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,960 » right now. >> So it's uh um I just stopped on there. 479 00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:18,640 There was uh half a dozen or more kids a number of different families down there 480 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:22,240 uh you know playing in the gym the chance that they have. So 481 00:33:20,159 --> 00:33:26,080 » another 25 years and we'll have >> right once every 25 years. 482 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:30,559 » The life cycle here has been longer than what normally might be expected. And so 483 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:34,320 that's kind of kudos to the maintenance staff. They've done some great job to 484 00:33:32,159 --> 00:33:38,960 keep that going. And so normally it would occur at about every 10 to 12 year 485 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:42,640 pace. So we've done very very well and that's you know the community is 486 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,880 generally pretty cooperative about how they use that facility as well. Makes a 487 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,720 difference. >> Yeah. And there's another opportunity in 488 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:53,919 with this too since um pickle ball wasn't really pickle ball 25 years ago. 489 00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:59,519 Uh so they've been putting uh lines down with vinyl floor tape and so uh every 490 00:33:56,799 --> 00:34:03,519 year taking it down putting back. Um so that'll be permanent lines will be 491 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:08,399 installed for that. And you know, you didn't notice the change in the color 492 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:12,000 because it was so uh gradual, but uh when they redo the floor completely, the 493 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,359 change will be dramatic. So, be a lot lighter. 494 00:34:13,119 --> 00:34:19,280 » We have a massive basketball tournament here in February as well that brings 495 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,720 people to the community. Is there any updates to the courts in that way or is 496 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,079 it kind of be similar? >> Uh, as far as my understanding is, the 497 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,440 courts and everything else will be uh stay the same. Just the pickleball 498 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:33,040 courts as they are lined up now will be moved so they're more in line with some 499 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:37,119 of the other lines. Just a few less lines on the court on the on the floor. 500 00:34:35,919 --> 00:34:38,159 » Nice floor to play on. >> Yeah. 501 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:42,000 » Yeah. >> Yeah. We got the parking lot being 502 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,280 redone. Steps are coming up. We got the uh the gym floor being done. There's 503 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,879 just a lot going on in the building right now. 504 00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:52,000 » Thank you, >> Madam Mayor. Pro Tim, I have one other 505 00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:54,879 item that I want to mention. Maybe it's two or three items, but it all comes in 506 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:57,440 the vein of some of the questions or comments that you made as council 507 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,560 members. We just really want to encourage people that if they want to 508 00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:04,079 know more about what's going on with the community, there's four or five really 509 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:07,359 great sources for that. So, one of which is the hot sheet, which embeds a lot of 510 00:35:05,839 --> 00:35:11,760 information about programs, activities, and activities of this um city council. 511 00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:15,839 Um that's something that's an email newsletter that you can sign up for 512 00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:19,839 online. It'll come every other week to your mailbox and you can read it once or 513 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,440 twice or not at all if you're busy that week. We also want to mention that you 514 00:35:21,839 --> 00:35:28,000 have a YouTube channel where meetings like this are shown, gavveltogl, and you 515 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:32,400 have other uh items that are on there, including the city administrators blog 516 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:36,240 and other short videos that are included within that. You can find out a lot of 517 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:40,640 great information, including opportunities to sign up for services, 518 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:44,480 utilities, and others in a couple three different languages. So, that's really 519 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:48,400 nice to still have there. your updated website that you want to ward on has 520 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:52,400 great information that pumps out there, including your new mass information 521 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,680 system that people can sign up for. And then last but not least, social media. 522 00:35:54,160 --> 00:36:00,960 We continue to put a lot of stuff out on Facebook. So, we'd encourage people to 523 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:04,960 subscribe or like us there and that can help with a lot of the information that 524 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:10,480 goes on within our community.
