1
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:28,460
Call to order the city council regular meeting of the city of Wyoming, Minnesota, for September 1st, 2026. Let the record reflect we do have a quorum member Luger, member onstead, member Schilling, member Yeager, and Mayor Iverson are present. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance.

2
00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:29,480
to

3
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:39,160
the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation

4
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:43,400
under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

5
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:50,300
First on the agenda is Open Forum.

6
00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:56,000
It's an opportunity for members of the public to address the city council and items that are on or

7
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,420
may not be on the current agenda. Items requiring council action may be deferred to staffs or

8
00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:06,560
board and commissions for research and future council agendas, if appropriate.

9
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,300
You will be limited to three minutes and we ask that you conduct yourself in a professional

10
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:17,180
courteous manner and refrain from the use of profanity, failure to abide by this policy,

11
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,340
may result in the loss of your privilege to speak.

12
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,700
Do we have anybody here, I believe Mr. Babid is the only one?

13
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,300
You know the drill, name address.

14
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Thank you.

15
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:49,820
So I had a few things, we had three minutes, so I'm going to try to go really quick, and I just, first I want to put my opinion out about the way we financed the new city hall, doing bonds that are more expensive and cost them to taxpayer be more money.

16
00:01:50,340 --> 00:01:57,080
I think last meeting I was at, not last meeting with one, two meetings going and said we had to get it done and we wanted to wait for a vote and all that stuff.

17
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320
I kind of confused me because I remember when

18
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,440
past mayor had to be where they were looking at money

19
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,980
to buy what's not a lake's gas.

20
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,460
I think he wanted the people that I was.

21
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:09,480
That was I'll get signature.

22
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,800
So we could have a boat.

23
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:11,280
Yeah.

24
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:16,780
And I just, I just, most of me, I just don't understand

25
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:19,880
why we're going to charge our citizens more money

26
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,600
so that we don't have to have a boat.

27
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,660
Yeah.

28
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:23,600
I just think that's wrong.

29
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:29,340
So, my second thing is I was just wondering, I was thinking about after I gave the list

30
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:36,540
of how many pack holes there were large, maybe even smaller than $159.00 and did get fixed

31
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:45,400
before the scumball suicide run, but I was, I'm just still curious, why we did the roads

32
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,240
to the south that weren't in nearly as bad shape that I run through there and why we did

33
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,980
and I guess my idea would be, yes, one of the citizens

34
00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:56,940
council don't want to stop it, it's a,

35
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,900
which one should be the first or second,

36
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:02,920
and you know, it's, I've been invited,

37
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,920
avoiding term 59 for probably six, seven years,

38
00:03:08,180 --> 00:03:09,560
I go on a deal and drive instead

39
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,400
because I don't want to go through all the problems.

40
00:03:12,260 --> 00:03:14,300
To do the section that was done instead

41
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,040
of that section, you mean his balance?

42
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:19,300
I, I just, I can't understand it.

43
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,280
So, um, um, uh, third thing, and, uh,

44
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,500
the only one that's nothing against you happy for you, everything like that, but, um,

45
00:03:29,060 --> 00:03:36,380
I've heard that, uh, we are paying $180,000 plus a $300 month, uh, gas allowance.

46
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:41,120
I just got a curiosity went on to, uh, Dr. Gohan said, what's the average salary of

47
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,980
city administrators and thousands under 10,000 Minnesota?

48
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:47,020
But I got back to average salary for a city administrator.

49
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280
You've been a sodas $90,642 per year.

50
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,640
But has a range of 72,366,114.

51
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:57,620
There's another one that says the average salary is 56.

52
00:03:58,060 --> 00:03:59,920
Another one that says it's 149.

53
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,000
I'm obviously missing something.

54
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,000
What information do you guys have that

55
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,480
fans somebody, that kind of money for a town under $10?

56
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:11,700
Yeah.

57
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:17,400
I don't know. Could be a great guy. Give me doing phenomenal job. I don't know. Yeah.

58
00:04:17,660 --> 00:04:21,320
It just shocked me when I heard that much and I just want to look so.

59
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,260
Okay. Well, thank you for inquiring about that. We appreciate that.

60
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:30,300
Okay. No answer. No, he does a phenomenal job and he's comparable. We do

61
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:36,840
comparables every year when his review comes up and he's done. I'm not seeing any of that.

62
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:44,320
We have, yeah, we have sister cities that we compare his salary to and he's done a really

63
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,320
good job keeping us one out of the news to keeping us financially stable.

64
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:52,580
Three are credit ratings are really high compared to cities of our size.

65
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,080
And that's all thanks to Mr. Lidwood for what he's been doing.

66
00:04:56,660 --> 00:05:00,540
So I think you're a little bit misinformation in terms of what the average is.

67
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:04,140
I think Member Schilling can kind of test it out.

68
00:05:04,140 --> 00:05:10,040
Yeah, that's duck.co that's not other cities that we use for comps and I got to say paying

69
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,700
someone 180,000 to run our almost six million dollar corporate city is actually under in

70
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:16,220
my opinion.

71
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:23,280
So I'll give you an example 15 years ago when I left city of ealy they were going to

72
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:27,960
pay me a hundred grand to be their building official and fire marshal somebody googled it

73
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,180
and said that Duluth was paying their building official thirty five thousand dollars and

74
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:35,940
not going to have anybody run a city at 70,000, you're not going to have somebody run a city

75
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:37,120
this site at 100,000.

76
00:05:37,580 --> 00:05:41,220
We base it on comp cities, the same thing we do with all of our contracts and labor

77
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:41,780
negotiation.

78
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:47,060
We gather all of the information, and that's what sets that salary.

79
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,640
They do the same thing in the private sector, they're just because I googled it, they're

80
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,500
not going to, oh, well, they pay $50,000, and I was going to take the job to $50,000.

81
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,100
Put up the headaches, run the city, run the corporation as it sits.

82
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:07,780
This man runs our city with a very skeleton staff now and we're questioning why we're

83
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:13,960
paying him a hundred and eighty grand a year, and it's your right to work in the private

84
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,420
sector.

85
00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:14,820
Yep.

86
00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:17,560
And I run projects that are more than six million.

87
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:19,780
I work with big teams.

88
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:26,100
I've had a responsibility for multi-vocations and I didn't think that how that was a while ago,

89
00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:27,140
so inflation was kicked out.

90
00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:27,700
How long ago?

91
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,560
12 years ago.

92
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:29,980
Okay.

93
00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:37,120
Okay, so I understand even talking to my people that are still in that kind of field.

94
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:46,300
Yeah, and you have every right as a taxpayer to question that. You have every right to do that.

95
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,420
So I know as we sit here and we go into closed-door session and re-review his contract and stuff,

96
00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:59,740
we make decisions based on his performance, based on how the city is doing.

97
00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:01,900
and we feel that it's been a really good value.

98
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,060
I also know being the Vice President of the Minnesota Meyers Association at one time

99
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:13,720
president, I know how many cities when there's an opening come directly to him first and

100
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,660
wanting him to be a part of their city.

101
00:07:19,570 --> 00:07:26,730
I guess from force lake came open a year and a half ago, it's my understanding it and apply that's two and a half size times one only.

102
00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:35,650
To me, that would be if somebody's striving to get ahead and wants to make more money and have more responsibility going to a city that's two and a half times the size of the one you run in,

103
00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:44,470
would be a natural expression when you're young. I don't know, maybe you did apply. I don't know, the guy in center go got it, you worked out for a year and a half.

104
00:07:44,470 --> 00:07:48,590
I don't think this is a continuous, I'm not sure that this continues to be appropriate

105
00:07:48,590 --> 00:07:49,410
for open forum.

106
00:07:50,130 --> 00:07:50,950
I like the mayor.

107
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:54,330
I absolutely respect your questioning as a taxpayer.

108
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:59,530
I think that is your right, but I think to have further conversation, I guess I would put

109
00:07:59,530 --> 00:08:06,490
it to Mr. Loonon in terms of whether or not that starts to get into data privacy and employee

110
00:08:06,490 --> 00:08:09,530
confidentiality issues, so we're discussing performance.

111
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:14,230
It's an open forum. He's entitled to tag us up as far as counsel regarding

112
00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:20,590
the performance of English. Yeah, I'm just, I'm gonna, you know, I'll just say

113
00:08:20,590 --> 00:08:25,990
that if somebody is happy in their job, do they leave? I mean, if you're happy

114
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:30,870
with your job, I'm very happy where I'm at now. I'm not gonna leave. So if you're

115
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:35,950
happy and you enjoy your work and what you're doing, are you more apt to stay at your

116
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:41,030
job then to go to a bigger city. That's, I mean, again, we can't answer that. That's

117
00:08:41,030 --> 00:08:47,610
Mr. Lin-Win's opinion and what he wants to do, where he wants to land when he's done

118
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:52,530
with Wyoming or just done being a city administrator. That's all up to him in personal choice. And

119
00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:56,330
that's actually same with you, right? You're going to go where you want to go and stay where

120
00:08:56,330 --> 00:09:01,090
you want to stay. So I think, and again, we appreciate your comments to answer your

121
00:09:01,090 --> 00:09:05,890
road project one you were here last time we talked about that we do a road tour

122
00:09:05,890 --> 00:09:14,150
every year we rate them and then we can you let me finish please thank you so

123
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:18,650
we do rate them we do we're very fiscally responsible when it comes to our

124
00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:24,010
roads so at any point in time you can look online and see our road projects and

125
00:09:24,010 --> 00:09:29,070
what we're planning to do and how we plan on financing it when I first became

126
00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:35,130
mayor we had no road plan zero zero road plan we had no money saved for it we had

127
00:09:35,130 --> 00:09:40,310
nothing and we've come a long ways in the last 12 years as me as mayor and as

128
00:09:40,310 --> 00:09:44,210
this council has been sitting here and we've put money away and we've been

129
00:09:44,210 --> 00:09:49,170
able not to have to bond for every single road that we're doing so we're working

130
00:09:49,170 --> 00:09:52,930
at it we know next year and you know this we know that we're already looking at

131
00:09:52,930 --> 00:09:58,370
getting that road done so you'll be able to run back on it and walk on it and

132
00:09:58,370 --> 00:10:05,150
drive on it here by end of next fall so you'll have that and let me finish please in terms of the

133
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:09,710
building that you were talking about that building wasn't right for the city of Wyoming there

134
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:15,970
wasn't enough room absolutely was not so the time was right on the building that came we have

135
00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:22,210
outgrown our police and fire station I mean there's so many things that go into it and cities are

136
00:10:22,210 --> 00:10:29,270
spending 54 million dollars for one building. We're getting three for nine

137
00:10:29,270 --> 00:10:33,030
million and I think that's something that we should really be happy about and

138
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:39,630
I know that well the police is not your crack so even if it gets to be 13

139
00:10:39,630 --> 00:10:44,550
million let's talk about that 54 million for a brand new building and we're

140
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:50,330
getting a building that there's only a few who aren't happy about it anybody I've

141
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:54,750
talk to, I think council can say that too, are really happy with the financial decision

142
00:10:54,750 --> 00:11:01,150
that we made and it was hard. We've been looking at it for 10 years, 8 years. It's been

143
00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:02,130
so long, I kind of forgot.

144
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:05,890
I'm happy that they're paying more than they would have to if we bought Gigabart.

145
00:11:06,730 --> 00:11:12,130
Well, I don't know. I'm just going to say this. When we, well, maybe not, you're financial,

146
00:11:12,370 --> 00:11:16,750
right? So I'm not going to argue with you. It's been a good decision for our community as

147
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:21,430
whole. That's what this council does. They look at the community as a whole and

148
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:26,070
what's best as a whole for people and for the city. And that's what we did. And

149
00:11:26,070 --> 00:11:29,970
we were viscally responsible. You may not agree with it. And that's your choice.

150
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:37,710
Your your tax fare totally get all of that. So your three minutes are up. So yeah go

151
00:11:37,710 --> 00:11:43,810
ahead. I asked a question through all of this. When we're getting back to Mr.

152
00:11:43,810 --> 00:11:50,330
the language salary and the cops if you don't think his sources are that great

153
00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:58,190
can we supply him with the sources that we used to determine I think we

154
00:11:58,190 --> 00:12:03,830
give him the list of the system cities council is the one who approves that list

155
00:12:03,830 --> 00:12:06,990
that we use for myself and all of our contracts so that is the thing that the

156
00:12:06,990 --> 00:12:09,850
council has that they're disposed so that you can easily provide for him or we

157
00:12:09,850 --> 00:12:15,810
are able to as well. We use the same capacity for every, I don't have it right here in front

158
00:12:15,810 --> 00:12:18,830
of me. We can certainly provide that. So we use that same for all of our American units,

159
00:12:18,830 --> 00:12:25,010
whether it's our police patrol, our sergeants, myself, our local 49ers. So it's all the same,

160
00:12:25,010 --> 00:12:30,650
it's all the same city groups. Well, yeah, Mr. Mavit had come and asked for, asked me for anything.

161
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:37,290
So if you have it and you can supply it to him, email it to him, that might be appreciated.

162
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:42,790
Last question, how much is what are we looking at, and then also that final yet, probably

163
00:12:42,790 --> 00:12:43,530
perhaps in Greece?

164
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:50,600
So, we do the September, we do a do not exceed, and then we whittle it down from there.

165
00:12:50,860 --> 00:12:54,820
So, we're going to have an update later on here, so hopefully you'll be able to stay and

166
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:55,860
kind of listen for it.

167
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:56,680
Okay.

168
00:12:56,980 --> 00:12:57,260
Thank you.

169
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:57,540
Okay.

170
00:12:57,540 --> 00:12:57,740
Thank you.

171
00:12:59,420 --> 00:13:00,300
Anybody else?

172
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:01,680
No.

173
00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:02,220
Okay.

174
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:06,320
Then we're going to move on to approval of minutes, number one.

175
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:13,120
Consider approving the minutes of the work session meeting of the Wyoming Minnesota City Council for August 18th

176
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,920

182
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,600
If there are no comments, questions or changes,

183
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,920
do we have a motion to approve?

184
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,780
So moved.

185
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,840
Motion to approve by members.

186
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,140
Shilling, do we have a second?

187
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,160

So approved.

191
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,840
Consent agenda items under the consent agenda

192
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,700
will be adopted with one motion.

193
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,240
However, council members may request individual items

194
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,660
to be pulled from the consent agenda

195
00:14:03,660 --> 00:14:09,620
for discussion and action if they choose. For the audience out there, the majority or all

196
00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:13,760
of this is usually things that we have talked about or have budgeted and approved during our

197
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:22,920
budgets. Approval last year. So consent agenda number three, four, five, six, and seven. Does anybody

198
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:31,820
wish to pull an item from consent? Seeing, yes? No? Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Do we have a motion

199
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:36,860
Motion to approve consent agenda 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

200
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,260
We have a motion to approve by member Onstad.

201
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:41,280
Do we have a second?

202
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,080
Second.

203
00:14:42,340 --> 00:14:43,640
Second by member Schilling.

204
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,480

205
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:45,180
Aye.

206
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,440
Opposed?

207
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:47,640
So approved.

208
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,880
Acknowledge receipts of reports of officer boards, commissions, and department heads.

209
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,980
Number 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

210
00:14:58,220 --> 00:14:59,800
Does anybody wish to pull a report?

211
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:10,180
Seeing none, we'll move on to new business number 14. To consider resolution 26-09-115, a resolution

212
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:16,880
approving the proposed tax levy payable in 2027. Mr. Limwood, are you starting us up on this?

213
00:15:17,140 --> 00:15:21,440
Well, thank you, Mayor. Members of council, we will have Jesse Sturds from our Abdel-Icon Myers,

214
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,820
our finance director. She will be with us shortly, but she will go through the preliminary levy,

215
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,780
as provided to council prior to the meeting, and she will go through some of those highlights,

216
00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:36,440
and I think Mr. McFarland is working on getting her up with us and there she is.

217
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:46,450
All right. Can everybody hear me?

218
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:47,110
Yes.

219
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:48,150
We can. Thank you.

220
00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:49,370
Okay.

221
00:15:49,890 --> 00:15:51,650
All right. Thank you, Mayor Counsel.

222
00:15:52,010 --> 00:15:53,970
Tonight we're going to adopt the Freeland Levy.

223
00:15:54,730 --> 00:15:57,610
So just a reminder, once the Freeland budget is set tonight,

224
00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:00,730
the Levy cannot increase at all.

225
00:16:01,490 --> 00:16:03,690
And when we approve it in December,

226
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:05,270
that'll be the final adoption.

227
00:16:09,710 --> 00:16:11,870
So tonight I'm going to go over the tax levies

228
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:15,890
and then we're going to look at the general fund revenues and expenditures.

229
00:16:19,130 --> 00:16:25,090
Right. So this is the overall tax levy summary.

230
00:16:25,730 --> 00:16:32,830
So the top line there, the general levy, is going up $385,743.

231
00:16:33,610 --> 00:16:37,830
And that's 8.22% of the budget. That is that top line there.

232
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:47,390
the EDA levy is going up about $2,500 and that's about 16.67 percent towards the

233
00:16:47,390 --> 00:16:56,390
middle there, the capital levy is going down 55,000 and that's a negative 7.01 percent and that

234
00:16:56,390 --> 00:17:03,790
is due to, oh sorry about that, it is mainly due to the street replacement fund is

235
00:17:03,790 --> 00:17:10,370
increasing about 100,000 there and that's according to the long-term plan for the last five six seven

236
00:17:10,370 --> 00:17:15,850
years we've been increasing that $100,000 every year and then if you notice that capital levy is

237
00:17:15,850 --> 00:17:22,230
going down about $155,000 and that is because we're going to do a transfer from the capital revolving

238
00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:31,520
front in the amount of 208,000 to cover the cost for 2027 so then farther down the line there is the

239
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:44,100
debt levy and that's going up about $266,957 and that is going up 46.52% and that is mainly due to

240
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:52,780
number one, the 2016 bond is falling off for next year, that's the top line and then we have

241
00:17:52,780 --> 00:18:00,460
that 2026 lease revenue bond coming on at $387,000. So that's what's making up that larger increase there,

242
00:18:00,460 --> 00:18:02,220
but we also have a bond falling off,

243
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:03,760
so that offsets that decrease.

244
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240
So then overall, the overall tax

245
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:15,280
limit is going up 9.89%, which is $600,000, $200 from 2026.

246
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,480
I still have not received the tax capacity yet from the county.

247
00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:21,220
I've emailed them a couple times.

248
00:18:21,220 --> 00:18:22,500
I will reach out again.

249
00:18:23,140 --> 00:18:25,240
As soon as I get that, that will be updated

250
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,300
and then that will in turn reflect

251
00:18:28,300 --> 00:18:29,780
like this 50 tax rate as well.

252
00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:34,220
Are there any questions on the tax levy piece of it?

253
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:36,520
All right, member Booker, any questions?

254
00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:37,700
Nope, no questions.

255
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,600
No, we're on stand.

256
00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:39,200
No questions.

257
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,140
Member Yeager.

258
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,120
I did have a question when you mentioned transferring

259
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:47,300
to the transferring out of the capital revolving fund.

260
00:18:47,780 --> 00:18:51,420
When do you expect the bond proceeds to come and replenish that?

261
00:18:52,460 --> 00:18:53,500
September 3rd.

262
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,320
September 3rd.

263
00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:55,060
OK, thank you.

264
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:56,420
Yep.

265
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,020
No questions at this time.

266
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,780
All right.

267
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:07,520
So then this slide here shows the types of levies broken out by the different types of levies.

268
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:10,980
So there the orange part is the general fund levy.

269
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,240
As you can see, it's increased slightly since 2023 over the past five years.

270
00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:23,480
The debt service levy is the yellow piece and that's remained pretty steady throughout the five years.

271
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:31,040
the capital levy is the black portion at the top and that is it's been up and

272
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,160
down the last five years we it's kind of fluctuated with the city's needs the

273
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,560
street replacement fund again for the past five years we've increased that

274
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,620
that hundred thousand dollars so that's again according to the long-term plan

275
00:19:43,620 --> 00:19:48,160
and then the very very little sliver at the top is the EDA levy and that's

276
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,800
remained steady throughout the last five years.

277
00:19:54,410 --> 00:19:57,710
This slide here shows estimated property taxes

278
00:19:58,510 --> 00:20:01,650
and I do want to point out that this is

279
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:04,750
no change in market value.

280
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:06,690
We have not received the amounts

281
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:08,810
from the change in market value from the county.

282
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:10,910
So this is strictly an estimate

283
00:20:11,610 --> 00:20:14,030
and no change in market value.

284
00:20:14,770 --> 00:20:18,650
And as requested, I did add that $700,000 in there as well.

285
00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:47,790
Thanks. Thank you. AT $200,000 House is approximately gonna go up about $70.000. A $300,000 house is gonna go up about a $114,000 house is gonna go up $400,000 house is gonna go up about $159,500.000 house is gonna go up about $203,000, $600,000 House is gonna go up about $248, $700,000 house is gonna go up about $292,000.

286
00:20:47,790 --> 00:20:52,870
and then that commercial property and a half a million is going to approximately go up $377.

287
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:58,410
And again, this is strictly estimated due to no change in market value.

288
00:20:58,650 --> 00:21:00,430
So everything on the screen is estimated.

289
00:21:03,030 --> 00:21:04,990
All right, revenues and expenditures.

290
00:21:05,770 --> 00:21:10,150
So on this screen, we see the general funds broken out by the type of revenues

291
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:13,430
it is, property taxes, license, intergovernmental.

292
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:17,430
And I'll point out just a few of the larger changes there.

293
00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:24,010
So the top line is a property tax line that's going up about $385,743.

294
00:21:24,690 --> 00:21:30,330
So that line item every time I increase or decrease a revenue or expense,

295
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:35,250
that is the number that gets changed every time that drives the levy.

296
00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:38,530
So that number has been changing every time you guys have seen that

297
00:21:38,530 --> 00:21:41,330
just because of the revenues and expenses changing.

298
00:21:42,190 --> 00:21:45,730
The licenses and permits are going up about $21,000.

299
00:21:45,730 --> 00:21:51,770
dollars. And that is an increase in building permits and driveway permit revenues. And

300
00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:56,570
that's based on the prior year's activity. So I reviewed all the revenues this year.

301
00:21:57,130 --> 00:22:01,750
And I determined that a few of them were under budgeted the past couple of years. So we

302
00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:06,990
really dug into the revenues that took averages for the last couple of years. So the building

303
00:22:06,990 --> 00:22:13,410
permits and driveway permits were raised a little bit according to that. The intergovernmental

304
00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:15,690
is going up about $35,200.

305
00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:19,050
And again, I reviewed the revenues

306
00:22:19,050 --> 00:22:21,670
and we increased the state grants and aids,

307
00:22:21,930 --> 00:22:24,010
the police state aid and the fire state aid

308
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:26,030
due to the last couple of years of activity.

309
00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:29,630
And then the interest earnings is going to go up

310
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:31,050
about $30,400.

311
00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:35,050
And that's the increases due to the higher investment

312
00:22:35,050 --> 00:22:36,430
balances and interest rates.

313
00:22:39,570 --> 00:22:41,090
Expand interest side here.

314
00:22:41,470 --> 00:22:42,930
It's broken out by department.

315
00:22:44,210 --> 00:22:48,770
So at the back of your memo, you guys have line-by-line items.

316
00:22:49,130 --> 00:22:52,690
These go according to the departments on those BS&E reports.

317
00:22:53,610 --> 00:22:55,570
So you guys can follow up on me if you want on that.

318
00:22:56,090 --> 00:23:02,950
So a few of the larger changes on here is the City Clerk's Office is going up about $54,885.

319
00:23:03,650 --> 00:23:05,830
And that is a number of different items.

320
00:23:06,450 --> 00:23:10,710
Some of it is wages and benefits increases due to coal and step increases.

321
00:23:10,710 --> 00:23:18,410
We increased 35,000 in network municipal computers due to the growing needs of the city and

322
00:23:18,410 --> 00:23:20,970
it increased prices from vendors.

323
00:23:21,810 --> 00:23:28,170
We added a new line item for the city share property taxes for $6,500 and then we also

324
00:23:28,170 --> 00:23:33,530
had an increase in dues of subscriptions for about $9,800 for the BS&A subscription.

325
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:42,980
towards the middle there, the financial administration's going up about $19,799. Again, that's

326
00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:48,000
a number of different items, including wages and benefits with coal and steppe increases.

327
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:54,000
There's an increase in professional services for PMA fees and annual financial solutions.

328
00:23:54,740 --> 00:24:00,160
There's an increase of auditing and accounting to offset cost of the audit. And then there's

329
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,640
increase of dues and subscriptions for that BSNA subscription as well in

330
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,300
that department.

331
00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:10,350
To quite in the middle there is the police department is going

332
00:24:10,350 --> 00:24:17,110
up about $182,452. Again that is wages and benefits due to coal and step

333
00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:23,270
increases. We increase the overtime line item of $25,000 due to the

334
00:24:23,270 --> 00:24:27,470
actuals for the past couple of years so we increase that. And then we also have

335
00:24:27,470 --> 00:24:31,450
that BSN8 dues and subscriptions of $1,900 in there as well.

336
00:24:33,230 --> 00:24:40,390
The building inspections go in about $22,654, and that is due to wages and benefits

337
00:24:40,390 --> 00:24:46,290
of stepcrisis and colas, and then about $7,100 for that BSN8 subscription.

338
00:24:47,250 --> 00:24:55,450
And then last but not least is the highway streets and roads is going up about $174,861, and

339
00:24:55,450 --> 00:24:58,350
And again, that's due to wages of benefits due to COLDA.

340
00:24:58,850 --> 00:25:06,310
We added a number of increases in contracted services, equipment repairs, vehicle maintenance

341
00:25:06,310 --> 00:25:10,330
motor fuels to align more with the actuals of the past two years.

342
00:25:11,290 --> 00:25:17,310
We added in a line item of $10,000 for engineering due to their activity for 2026.

343
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:21,190
And then we had some fees for the BSNA subscriptions as well.

344
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:28,480
This last slide here shows what the percentages of the general fund.

345
00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:32,340
So the tap through areas of here is the police department, which is the orange.

346
00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:37,240
It's going up or it makes up 39.85% of the general fund.

347
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:44,760
The streets, highways and roads there is the green and that's 20.85% of the general fund.

348
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:51,240
And then the little dark green piece there of the city clerk's office makes up about 12.99%

349
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:58,200
of the budget. The remaining pages of your budget or the budget memo are the

350
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,260
line-by-line items for BS&A. So with that I will stand for any questions and

351
00:26:03,260 --> 00:26:07,380
I believe there's also a resolution that needs to be approved for to adopt

352
00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:11,580
the Freeland Levy. Mr. I'm going to start with a question. How long have you been

353
00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:15,780
doing our finance doing this part with working our budget and stuff?

354
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,220
It'll be

355
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:27,960
years. You've seen some changes, you've worked with other cities as well. So when you say

356
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,600
you've had to increase from previous years, that sort of thing, how does that work into

357
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,780
your thought process and what the city does?

358
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:42,820
Yeah, so what we do is I kind of review every year we go line by line and I work with the

359
00:26:42,820 --> 00:26:49,300
department heads as well and we go line by line to determine how the budget was set the

360
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:55,800
previous year. So were we short on a line item, were we long on a line item? And if we were

361
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,520
longer short, we kind of taken average of the past two to three years to determine what that

362
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,680
2027 budget numbers should look like. Okay, so few of those revenues were running a little short,

363
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:12,320
so we did increase those just because we felt it was time to increase them. Okay, and what are

364
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:18,400
you seeing in terms of increases, in terms of product services, that sort of thing, overall in the

365
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,880
cities that you work with.

366
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:27,740
There are a lot of them are 6, 7, 8, 9% increases as well.

367
00:27:28,420 --> 00:27:36,200
A lot of it's due to fuel and health insurance is a huge one. Wages are a huge one.

368
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,180
It's kind of all over the place. So we're seeing higher increases this year.

369
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,660
Okay. Thank you. Okay. Questions from council? We'll start with member Schilling.

370
00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:48,020
No questions at this time.

371
00:27:48,380 --> 00:27:48,480
Okay.

372
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:49,460
Member Yeager.

373
00:27:49,860 --> 00:27:51,160
No questions at this time.

374
00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:52,160
Member Looker.

375
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:52,940
No questions.

376
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:54,000
And number on-site.

377
00:27:54,180 --> 00:27:55,240
Just one quick question.

378
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,040
Just a definition.

379
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,860
Use the word subscriptions a lot.

380
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,580
Not like you just to generalize what that means.

381
00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:03,760
Just so that people don't think we're ordering a lot of magazines.

382
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,440
Probably.

383
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:05,380
Yeah.

384
00:28:07,620 --> 00:28:12,160
Subscriptions are they you are consistent like BSNAPs.

385
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:20,920
Copy machines, anything that has a subscription towards it, the mailing machine probably has

386
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,120
a subscription-based.

387
00:28:22,740 --> 00:28:25,120
Rob, you could probably add some more, I haven't.

388
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:32,360
I think our BSNA Pro Phoenix is a subscription service, civic plus that we use for creation

389
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:36,800
of our agenda and our website, our website is a subscription service, so anything, anything

390
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,980
like those types of items would be examples.

391
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:44,560
I believe the police department also has subscriptions to update and keep the officers

392
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,000
current.

393
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:52,280
As far as like a written material or we have training materials that are of subscription

394
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,720
patrol online, that type of thing, that's what it's getting nice, yep, yep, yep,

395
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:02,460
yep, okay, thank you, all right, we appreciate it, it's always good to see you, I see you guys

396
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:02,600
too.

397
00:29:03,020 --> 00:29:03,660
Yeah, thanks.

398
00:29:03,940 --> 00:29:10,660
All right, so number 14 is to consider resolution 26 on 915 and a resolution approving

399
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:14,380
that proposed tax levied payable in 2027.

400
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,080
There are no further questions.

401
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,640
We need a motion to approve what is in front of us.

402
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:19,380
Do we have a motion?

403
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,020
So moved.

404
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,280
We have a motion by member Schilling,

405
00:29:22,380 --> 00:29:24,920
a second by member Luger.

406
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:25,640
Is that what you heard?

407
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:25,940
Okay.

408
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,000
We have a first and second.

409
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,240
All in favor, I oppose.

410
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:30,860
May.

411
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:32,400
So approved.

412
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,220
And again, this is what we have to send to the state

413
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,640
by September 28th.

414
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,620
And from there, just so the audience is aware, from there, we whittle that down.

415
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:50,480
So we look at things, there are some things that have not come in yet to kind of figure out.

416
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:51,820
So that's why we do that.

417
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,200
We cannot go over that.

418
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:56,580
Okay.

419
00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:57,480
Keep it short.

420
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:58,920
Okay.

421
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,180
Keep it short.

422
00:29:59,180 --> 00:29:59,420
Down.

423
00:30:22,780 --> 00:30:31,560
I'm not going to put anything in writing on that. We still have more things to go through and look at. And I think that one of the increases have come because of the

424
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,960
The new building, not the new building, the buildings that we are working on, right?

425
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,840
So some of that comes from there, you know finance.

426
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,700
So you probably understand that.

427
00:30:40,060 --> 00:30:45,340
So some of that is coming from there, unfortunately, a lot of colas, and that's something every city,

428
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,680
county, everybody looks at is those colas, especially when you have unions.

429
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:56,520
So we're looking at that as well, insurance goes up, go ahead.

430
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:03,460
Yes, no, I will actually add to that too. So the 10% is we'll call it 10 right now. We aren't we're not going to exceed it, but

431
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,500
When I did obviously this is the largest levy number. I've seen since I've been on council. So

432
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,860
We have some things as the mayor said that we're still trying to figure out

433
00:31:14,860 --> 00:31:18,240
But we have to set this in order to give us our starting point to whittle down

434
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,720
I can't give you a number what it is

435
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:25,300
But in the 10 years I've been in my house my taxes have gone up $583. That's it

436
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:30,360
That's $58 a year and we've done a road project every year and now we're doing a building.

437
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:35,420
The biggest increase of this is that city project we're about to do, but I'm looking

438
00:31:35,420 --> 00:31:38,240
at my personal taxes and I'm going up $100 a year.

439
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,440
We don't want it to go up at all.

440
00:31:40,700 --> 00:31:41,240
I get that.

441
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,460
But as services charges, things are cost more money.

442
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:49,240
That's just an unfortunate part, so we're the ones that have to make that decision and

443
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,040
naturally we don't have that happiness that we always want.

444
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,560
But I'm just going to say it's I'm not ready for any

445
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Okay, no, yeah, I don't know. We get it. But this is just a city

446
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:04,840
Water said

447
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,120
The school that she goes up six, that's a great deal.

448
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,560
There are people that struggle to make their own part.

449
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:34,140
We can't control that part of it, right?

450
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,180
Dan, we just, we can't control, we can control ours.

451
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:43,160
And I think I always tell residents, if they really want to know the difference

452
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,500
that they've paid in taxes since this council has been seated.

453
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,460
Mr. Lindwood does a really great job with being able to compare.

454
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,900
And I'm with members shilling as well.

455
00:32:52,900 --> 00:33:02,820
I mean ours have gone up, but over the last ten years, it looks like it's a lot, but when you look at it, it's not.

456
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:10,860
So, and everybody, I totally get it. We're in one income family. I get it. That's just me. So I understand what you're saying.

457
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:20,320
But there are needs of the cities that we have to do. We have to pay our road. We have to pay our employees. We have to be comparable to other cities.

458
00:33:20,940 --> 00:33:26,040
that's just things that we have to do for a city to provide the services that

459
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,740
were elected to do. So, appreciate your comments, anybody else? No, I was going

460
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:35,220
to add one more thing. You are 100% correct. We have the voter school voter

461
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:41,080
levies, obviously. That was approved by them. And then overall my taxes in 10 years

462
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:46,820
completely, not just city, but all of them have gone up $1,100 in 10 years. But

463
00:33:46,820 --> 00:33:47,540
And here's the big key.

464
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:52,440
My value has gone up by 57% in that time.

465
00:33:53,020 --> 00:33:54,940
So that also is what sets that rate.

466
00:33:55,340 --> 00:33:58,020
We don't have anything to do over what the assessor assesses

467
00:33:58,020 --> 00:33:58,480
are properties.

468
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,100
I come in and argue every year.

469
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:02,900
And it's my duty to do that, just like you're

470
00:34:02,900 --> 00:34:03,860
doing this as well.

471
00:34:04,420 --> 00:34:07,220
So I have to look at what might happen to avoid you.

472
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,360
Yeah, no.

473
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,840
Because I knew this, when I saw this on the agenda,

474
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,940
I'm like, all right, I better do a little research and see

475
00:34:12,940 --> 00:34:13,460
where we're at.

476
00:34:13,860 --> 00:34:16,360
So yeah, I appreciate it.

477
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:24,000
Okay, so we're moving on to number 15 to consider resolution 2060916, a resolution regulating

478
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:33,880
non-essential water usage upon critical water deficiencies as authorized by Minnesota Statute 103g.291

479
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:39,640
in the city of Wyoming, ordinance 36.60. Mr. Limwood, are you taking this?

480
00:34:41,260 --> 00:34:41,740
Okay.

481
00:34:43,220 --> 00:34:47,480
Honorable Mayor and Council, as many of people have noticed, we haven't received much

482
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:53,760
rain as of late in the State Department of Natural Resources sent out notice recently

483
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,160
that we are going to have to reduce water consumption on the public water supply.

484
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:04,220
And this will be the first water ban that I have gone through as public work superintendent,

485
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,920
but I know that the city has been through the exercise before and the Department of Natural

486
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,500
resources laid out where we needed to be. We ran some numbers on how to get there and the

487
00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:21,960
most effective way to do that was to do a watering ban. So that's where we're at. We have

488
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:29,720
to reduce down to about 415,000 gallons a day. And we feel that we'd be able to do that with the

489
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:36,620
ban in fact. Mr. Reeves, just for everybody watching that are here, can you help people understand

490
00:35:36,620 --> 00:35:40,640
and the water tower, the pressure, and how we come to that,

491
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:42,260
because I think that's super important,

492
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,500
you know, to, we have aquifer, right?

493
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,360
I have my own, I have my own well,

494
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:50,060
but the people that are on city water.

495
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,140
So the, the consumers that are on city,

496
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,760
on the public water supply, that is drawn,

497
00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:58,800
is ground water, drawn out of the aquifer,

498
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:04,100
and the, with the lack of rain and the drought

499
00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:08,700
that set him, uh, it's affecting the water level in the aquifer and so we're trying to preserve

500
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:13,660
that so that we can have drinking water. And so essentially the department of natural resources

501
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:19,400
is asking us to reduce so that we have water for drinking. Um, the, the, I can go into more detail

502
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,840
if you'd like about the, the wells and the towers and all that works if you'd like. That's fine,

503
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:28,620
but I also know this is going statewide so I know almost every city is going through this. I don't

504
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:32,180
know if it be that's not with ones that I talked to you. Yeah, that was one thing I was going to

505
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:36,160
mentioned is we're probably not the only entity out there that's having the same discussion

506
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,520
this week. Yeah. Yeah. Winston did there's yesterday and then North branch did there's

507
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:45,260
last week. Yeah. So countywide not just started. Yeah. It's coming. Yeah. Members should

508
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:49,440
lead. Did you have any questions? No. I just know that we need rain. Okay. I'll be acre.

509
00:36:49,860 --> 00:36:57,800
Same conditions as previous water bands. Is everybody, people who had watering permits, so

510
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,760
their permits still valid? They're not. Okay. It was 2023. So they wouldn't be valid anymore.

511
00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:11,040
Are we going to get the word out to them that their permits are no longer valid?

512
00:37:11,660 --> 00:37:15,440
We had no intention of reaching out to anyone. Those were essentially 30 day permits.

513
00:37:15,460 --> 00:37:21,000
They could either seat or sod. Okay, because when we first started doing water, water and

514
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:29,840
advance everybody had their little WP numbered permit on their mailbox so yeah we

515
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,300
asking yeah we would just those are only good for 30 days so essentially we

516
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:36,820
already actually have a request but those are 30-day permits and those are for

517
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:40,780
seed or sod but they're only good for that 30-day duration so any of that we had

518
00:37:40,780 --> 00:37:50,980
back in 2023 during that ban would be no envoy at this point so we wouldn't have

519
00:37:50,980 --> 00:37:51,920
questions with loves and rain.

520
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:57,460
All right, so we need a motion to approve resolution 260911.

521
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,000
I'm not gonna read it all, but basically it's a water van.

522
00:38:00,580 --> 00:38:01,940
So do we have a motion to approve?

523
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:02,940
So moved.

524
00:38:03,060 --> 00:38:03,900
We have a motion to approve.

525
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:04,660
I'm members shilling.

526
00:38:04,820 --> 00:38:05,660
Do we have a second?

527
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:06,100
Sure.

528
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,500
We have a second by member on-stead, all in favor?

529
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,280
Aye.

530
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:11,380
Opposed?

531
00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:12,240
So approved.

532
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,460
Number 16, to consider entering, you know what,

533
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,180
while I'll read 16 and then we'll do,

534
00:38:18,340 --> 00:38:19,520
we'll go backwards a little bit.

535
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:25,800
So, number 16 is to consider entering a closed-door session under Minister of State Statute 13D.03

536
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:32,860
to discuss labor negotiation strategies for a contract in the bargaining unit I-U-O-E local

537
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:38,420
449ers. So, what will happen now is when we go into closed-door session, we're actually going

538
00:38:38,420 --> 00:38:43,820
to really quickly talk about reports from our council and then we'll go into a brief recession

539
00:38:43,820 --> 00:38:47,600
and everybody will need to leave, so for the night.

540
00:38:47,980 --> 00:38:51,240
So let's do council reports.

541
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,540
Let's start with Member Luger.

542
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,860
I have no reports thank you for attending.

543
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:57,620
Member Anastas.

544
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:58,600
I have no reports.

545
00:38:59,020 --> 00:38:59,540
Member Schilling.

546
00:39:00,740 --> 00:39:02,100
I have no reports as well.

547
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,260
Thanks for coming in.

548
00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:04,200
Thank you.

549
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:04,960
Member Yeager.

550
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,060
I have no reports.

551
00:39:06,380 --> 00:39:07,980
Thanks for coming and thanks for watching.

552
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:10,040
And I have none either.

553
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,720
It was actually a very quiet two weeks.

554
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:23,340
All right, so we will adjourn for five minutes at 739 and then come back in and go back

555
00:39:23,340 --> 00:39:25,080
into a close session.

556
00:39:25,540 --> 00:39:29,260
Okay, so we are a brief recess, five minutes at 739.
