That's fifth try that we've done in Wright County. I know one that happened 20 years ago in 146 00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:12,120 another county. Other than that, that's the only ones I know across the state. So, it's exciting. 147 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:21,320 So, I think after a great review and a good discussion by individuals that lived on that system, 148 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:28,500 coming to the conclusion that there is no benefit to that system is the right findings. 149 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:32,600 things, but I'm going to stand for members here if they want to make any comments. 150 00:13:34,700 --> 00:13:37,280 Motion to resolution 2646. 151 00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:38,140 I'll second. 152 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:38,720 All right. 153 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,060 Motion by Commissioner Moyna. 154 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,460 Second by Commissioner Holland to adopt a resolution 2646 with the full abandonment of 155 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:49,160 right county judicial ditch one. 156 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,400 No other discussion? 157 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,100 Roll call vote. 158 00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:56,280 Commissioner Shane. 159 00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:56,940 Aye. 160 00:13:57,380 --> 00:13:57,520 Aye. 161 00:13:58,460 --> 00:13:58,620 Aye. 162 00:13:58,920 --> 00:13:59,160 Aye. 163 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:09,360 the motion passes unanimous so this was kind of a groundbreaking circumstance here and I think 164 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,100 this was the right decision and I think this is worth the efforts to look more at this in the 165 00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:22,280 future when applicable the standards are high for full abandonment but I believe that with the work 166 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,220 of staff and board members in researching into this we came to the right conclusion so yeah 167 00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:33,240 I just want to say too that the land owners that showed up, you know, provided a lot of things in writing, a lot of 168 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,400 phone calls back and forth with them. They were very involved with the process and that's really nice to see, especially with the process like this. 169 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,980 Yeah, thank you, ma'am. 170 00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:44,720 Matt's workload dropped by a half a percent. 171 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,760 Added two more things to ring out. 172 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:58,740 Next we have a schedule public hearing on the petition of impounding and rerouting and diverting 173 00:14:58,740 --> 00:14:59,800 and range system percentage. 174 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,040 Minister Statue 103, 227. Yeah, so the city of Muscle has submitted a petition for that. It's that part of Statue composes a few things. It's for empowerment and rerouting of the ditch. So the city is planning on installing a new stormwater system that could be used as the outlet for county December 33. It's a great win for the residents there. Stormwater systems are managed different and pay for differently than county ditches. So be huge cost savings for residents in the city and the township. 175 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,640 if this process goes through, but it does require public hearing, so we are looking to schedule 176 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,620 that public hearing. All the line owners would be noticed, would be noticed in the paper, 177 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,260 and we just need to pick a day where the petitioners, the city, with WSP on the behalf of the city, 178 00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:47,540 would be presenting their petition and what they plan to do, so be very technical meeting to 179 00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:52,320 describe what their process is and what they're looking to do. But if we go through that process, 180 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,060 you're hopefully soon, so they can get work started this year, you'd be awesome. 181 00:15:56,900 --> 00:16:05,680 Well, I will have to say I am very excited for this, this is a culmination of almost a 182 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:11,260 decade's worth of work. Your entire career thus far here in Wright County has encompassed 183 00:16:11,260 --> 00:16:16,880 this project. Most of my 10 year on the board has encompassed this project to actually see it come 184 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,960 to fruition potentially here. I always have to use the word potentially because I tell you, I thought 185 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:27,120 we were close three, four years ago, and we ran into road blocks. So seeing it actually happen here, 186 00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:33,180 and maybe in subsequent meetings down the road, a banding portion of that ditch due to the 187 00:16:33,180 --> 00:16:38,120 collaboration with the City of Monticello is phenomenal. And we're saving landowners, 188 00:16:39,500 --> 00:16:45,520 millions of dollars on this and with the ability for us to get the amount of grand funding that we got 189 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:51,380 from a variety of different locations this was. Yeah, yeah, it's better like it was a very much 190 00:16:51,380 --> 00:16:55,280 a partnership township was involved city was involved lots and lots of meetings over the past 191 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,180 in years about this project. So I think a lot of people are excited and now we can actually give 192 00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:04,080 some updates to residents hopefully at this hearing. So it was quite an emotional roller coaster. 193 00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:10,740 I think the first meeting it was like pitchforks in torches to then there got some excitement got 194 00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:15,060 everybody the table degree on some things and then it kind of fell apart so like you know 195 00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:18,360 that we're back up at the top of the coast are ready to come down, right? 196 00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:23,680 That's so I'm excited to see get some results done. I'm going to get a lot of calls 197 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,820 as sure you do to you when we talk a lot at night and update each other on the 198 00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:31,840 progress. So be nice to be able to give some good news hopefully here. I still 199 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,220 feel really disnights too that they're working on 94 to just finish the whole deal 200 00:17:37,220 --> 00:17:43,720 and so that is going to be really nice for those landowners. I still think 201 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,180 we're going to have to do a ribbon cutting on that outlet. After this much work, 202 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,200 we'll be the one and only ribbon cutting that we've ever had on that. They ditched 203 00:17:52,200 --> 00:18:00,020 system. Yeah, just don't get run over by a bicep now. That's true. All right. With that, 204 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:06,540 I will stand for a motion to set a public hearing on August 11th at 10.30 a.m. So moved. 205 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,820 Second motion by Commissioner Holland.

It tracks the status of the documents they submit. It integrates 244 00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:20,290 with on-base, as these departments are doing their work, they're able to see. It 245 00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:24,690 hasn't been accepted, hasn't been approved, hasn't been denied. What is 246 00:21:24,690 --> 00:21:28,710 happening? Who do I need to call to check on the status? Maybe it's through the 247 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:32,710 assessor's department and waiting with taxpayer services. They're no longer 248 00:21:32,710 --> 00:21:37,890 calling one counter only to be referred to another. When Misty and I looked at 249 00:21:37,890 --> 00:21:45,250 this project. We really saw it as a three-pronged project. Yes, definite customer experience change, 250 00:21:45,470 --> 00:21:50,350 right? Meeting our constituents where they are. But also we were able to provide our departments 251 00:21:50,990 --> 00:21:58,230 with a much better or not better but more customer-friendly experience to see the reality of where 252 00:21:58,230 --> 00:22:03,910 these applications were. Think about that proverbial bus, right? When we talk about paper sitting on 253 00:22:03,910 --> 00:22:10,810 someone's desk versus being able to log into on base and see who it is with. I can answer that 254 00:22:10,810 --> 00:22:16,790 customer's question in the moment rather than referring them to someone else. At the same time, 255 00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:22,390 we gave management the insight they needed to continue to drive continuous improvement 256 00:22:22,850 --> 00:22:29,290 with this particular area to strive for those policy changes. We are very proud of the work we were 257 00:22:29,290 --> 00:22:34,030 able to accomplish with all of the teams we were interfacing with, and we are very happy 258 00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:36,190 to present you with these awards. 259 00:22:36,970 --> 00:22:37,770 Thank you. 260 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,060 What a lot of work you guys did, thanks so much. 261 00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:53,820 Well, we are very proud of both of you and all the staff involved in this because it doesn't 262 00:22:53,820 --> 00:22:59,080 happen without you and everyone else involved in it and making these steps forward to becoming 263 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:05,880 coming, more accessible and more transparent is all on the benefit to the internal staff and the citizens alike. 264 00:23:06,140 --> 00:23:07,280 So thank you so much. 265 00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:10,020 Yeah, so if we get a picture, I was going to say, let's do a picture. 266 00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:11,580 Yes, we'll come on. 267 00:23:12,940 --> 00:23:17,340 You can grab the, I'll let you hold this, hold that, it's actually good and heavy. 268 00:23:47,290 --> 00:23:54,110 Here we go, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, that was good. 269 00:24:11,710 --> 00:24:12,670 that.

I believe the 316 00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:21,530 conversation probably no real action was to try to get an RFP out late summer early 317 00:26:21,530 --> 00:26:25,770 fall of this year. I'm trying to get consult and some board did interviews go on 318 00:26:25,770 --> 00:26:30,690 things like that on that proposal. That would dictate the schedule because part of 319 00:26:30,690 --> 00:26:34,290 RFP would be what schedule they have for availability and how they can roll 320 00:26:34,290 --> 00:26:37,730 that out for public input sessions, stakeholder input and all that type of stuff. 321 00:26:38,150 --> 00:26:41,150 Do you have an RFP already drawn up already or are we still in their process? 322 00:26:41,150 --> 00:26:49,530 I'm still in that process.
