So we have more than two practices before you want to play a game? Yeah, it's a good idea. Just feel like that's a good thing to have more than two practices. Just roll the ball up, right? Yeah. Especially for seventh graders that have never been in junior high school. You know what I mean? Yeah. I I well know what you mean. Alright. Yup. Alright, six o'clock. I'll ask everyone to stand. Say the pledge of allegiance please. I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Alright, let's let the minutes reflect. We got six of the seven council members present. Uh first item of business obviously is a citizen's form. If there's any individuals from the community that would like to approach the council, now would be the time to do so. Like 2 seconds here. You heard from Scott? Yeah, he said that
he didn't think he was going to make it. He text me about half hour ago. Okay. Alright. Okay. No. These days. He's going to when you say the agenda I think he's going to okay alright we'll move on to the consent agenda numbers are the same as printed in your pocket I need a motion to
approve okay motion Casey second from Sean all in favor all opposed motion passes on to the agenda I got two additions under department head updates under the administrative clerk treasurers report number one add a letter C and put hot tub to make it nice and easy. And then under new business letter
D approval of outstanding bills again just to make it nice and easy are there any additions or subtractions to the agenda I'd like to make an announcement mister mayor okay Kim go ahead as of today realtor showed up and we sold our house so it's I don't know how long the process is of a couple weeks or three weeks or whatever so I will be resigning my post as city
council in the future and I like to stay on until December meeting and then be done through December right yes so that's where it's at awesome okay congratulations thank you yeah a surprise for us too whoa That quick. All cleaning. Any other additions or subtractions to the agenda? Hearing none. I need a motion to approve. So hold on. Okay. Emotion from
Eric. Second from Casey and Kaher. All in favor. Aye. All opposed. Motion passes. Is more calling in? Are they got anything? Um I have the update for more from our meeting. Okay. So Brian and I and Brandon met on Monday to talk about our phase two of our projects and we talked heavily about Fourth Avenue out here and getting to this street so we would be doing all the underground sewer waters from sewers that have had a step and then the goal is right now is
to reach out to the county which we have had some contact with them since then and a it's they're technically road so we've been waiting to kind of partner with them as far as them repaving it new sidewalks and gutters and new curves so they're on board what will happen now is Brandon took the project back they've gotta go through the numbers kind of give us an idea of what's going to cost us to do this project they'll bring it here in December and then next
spring we'll want to submit it to the PFA to see if we get funding for it if we get funding for it then the next steps would be to decide okay do we want to go ahead and bid it out if we bid it out we'd be looking at the fall of 2025 once those bids come back if you decide you want to move forward with the project then we would look at like a 2026 actual construction time and then 2027 would be when our bond payments would start so right now it's just a plan
obviously we can stop it at any time but in December hopefully you'll have some ideas of what it's going to cost for us to do this project and yeah and then see if we get on the PFPFA which means that's where we'll find out if we can even bond for it or not. That's all I got on that. Okay. Uh Any questions Ashley and for anybody? Okay. Uh moving on to the certificate of elections. Which one do you want? These won't go to them and these will
be sent to. Obviously elections from last night in January. Um I guess congratulations reelected so thank you the county wanted us to give this out just certificate of election we'll keep Scott's obviously Sean Mike you wanted to state for the camera elected yeah so just obviously Mike Nelson Eric Scott Erickson is not here Sean Roux again we're
the top three getters on the four year terms Eric was the loan number on the two term other than just appreciating you guys obviously putting your name back in the hat and serving the community listening to the citizens I think this table is is great and you guys get four more years Eric you get two so alright I'll touch on just a little bit just because Kim has fulfilled two years of his term after our
December meeting we'll have to open up a vacancy like we have in the past similar to Eric how you got on here there will be an open enrollment obviously or either a volunteer or a recommendation from a council member for the newest council member which will be a two-year term fulfilling the latter part of Kim's term so. Right. Start thinking if there's any individuals in the community that would like to put their name in the hat. Again, it'll be up to you guys. Ultimately,
there'll be six votes tie breaker I'm assuming goes to me. Yup. Um but you know, in the past, we had two or three individuals interested every time so you know and it could be even the individuals that were on the ballot you know here yesterday so sure again start thinking of names and it'll be February I think when we'll actually if we have candidates available February is when because he goes throughout December January we will do the notification of vacancy at the January meeting and then February meeting if
there's people or individuals interested and that's the soonest that we can electors and then you know in January we'll run with six council members and it is and again if there's a tie if we have anything that's of need and attention of that sort I'll be the tie breaker but up until then we'll again Kim thank you for your service we'll do that again couple more times between now and then and talks good yeah go from there so the other item on the under the mayor's report is the committee is obviously we're in November now which is crazy to think about in January I have to set up my
committee appointments if anybody would like to change committees that they're on if they'd like to try a different on. Um if there's any individuals in the community that would like to approach us and and be on either public safety or public works or any of the other ones, now would be a good time to to reach out to either the council members and myself to talk about it. I talked to a couple today actually that are that are excited to maybe try it. So, again, there's not a lot of commitment as you guys know.
It's a meeting a month or a meeting a quarter depending on what community you're on. So, just keep that in mind. So. Uh administrative clerk treasury's part. Uh Before we get on to the Deco Center, I just want to highlight a couple things with the PD. Um one of the things that we've been talking a lot lately and you probably heard on the radio is the towards zero deaths grant that we received. Um it did start now. So, our police department and this is part of a statewide grant. Um essentially, what it is is our department along with the county or the sheriff's department and Polk County,
Manoman County around us. Um it's a part of a state effort. So, there's a different enforcement dates throughout the next six months to a year that our officer can sign up for and it's all covered by the state so the count or the city doesn't have to pay them but it's out for you know checking for DWIs or there's a speed one there's a seat belts there's a child restraint one and with that you might see our officers outside of city limits because if they do sign up to cover it
then they cover Norman County so right now here coming up in November we have this weekend obviously it's deer hunting weekend I'm still waiting to hear back if one of our officers got it so they actually have to decide if they want it and then they have to apply to be the one officer on so not every officer can be on during these dates and then the last weekend of November would be the 26th to the thirtieth so it's like that Thanksgiving week they're doing a DUI so both of these would be DUI enforcement dates and then
December it's just about every single weekend in December and then New Year's Eve so those are the dates coming up that you might see an extra officer on. Again, it's all paid through for the state. Um we do pay them out and then we get reimbursed so you'll see next year on our expenditures that we did increase the overtime budget by a little bit but then we did increase the revenue coming in as well just to cover that. Um any questions on that? There any other local municipality department that are? So in Norman County, it's
us in the sheriff's department. Yup. The sheriff's department is short on staff right now. Um so, I anticipate our officers probably covering more but if Polk County has two three on, we might not be able to get on if that make sense. So, I don't know how that process goes when they apply and again, our officers have to be willing to do it because it's overtime. So, it would have to make sense for our officers like if they're they're here or they have time to do it and it's evening shifts. Um obviously, the DUI ones are evening
shifts. It does look like the seat belts are all day shifts. Um but I would anticipate our officers more than like you'd see the county sheriff's department held especially in Norman County. And like Ashley said keep in mind you know time wages gas fuel if we get damage on a squad car if an engine blows up all that stuff is covered by this program. Yeah. Um without Twin Valley having a full-time officer I would anticipate obviously gravitating towards the east
side of the county And their job is to patrol so they cannot take any calls. Um yeah so they're not going to be responding to a a barking dog or a walkout there. I mean they're they're patrolling. Yeah. Um but Ashley and I talked about this this morning. Just keep that in mind as individuals if the city of Ada squad car is out on County Road nineteen. I mean they they are out there doing a job. They're not just you know driving around so. Then the other thing that John and I talked about
this morning is there's been a need for some more speed signs in town or there's been a request. Um so, Steve has been looking into that and actually today, he spoke with one of our grant writers that has worked with the fire department and there's an opportunity actually for a grant. So, we're going to write that up. See if we can get that because they're three to $4000 a piece and we'd like a few more of them in town. Um so, we'll work on that and if we don't get it, then I'll probably look at trying to budget or figuring out a way to pay for em so we can at least get a couple more in town. And
what we were thinking is just on each entry point of town instead of just the the west side on 200 we have underneath four total and then Ashley said that these were solar powered too which is nice we don't have to pay for batteries yeah or charge batteries so I remember being on public safety with that one and that one was going to be moved around town more you know I don't think it's moved now in a couple of years but no it it used to be moved because it was moved on fourth going to the school it was there for a while so that
was there for a we first got it. So that's what we talked about. We went back and forth is what it did and then and then it it's basically stayed up on on the highway now but it is it is mobile. So that's what we talked about. We if we get four we move that one to four street just because it's the busy school street and and again it's it's to deter people. You know obviously everyone can read a speed limit sign but the flashing lights and the digital speed does I think hinder maybe a little bit more especially the trucks
going through town so I'm just saying like if we want to move it you know it's it's just both on the side on the side you know move it around a little bit if we have bad areas that's all I got there. I know Brianna's got an update here with the Deco Center. So, if you want to come up and let everybody kind of know what's going on. A few. The one last maybe two last times. Maybe. Maybe three. Maybe. Alright.
So, I'll start with the the Deco project progress report that Ashley Emailed out to. Well, first I'll start with the donations. So, as of today's date, individuals and businesses, we've raised thirty 33, 017 online say online payment 410 previous hot tub fundraisers that we had the last two years 8200 businesses
21, 029 popcorn sales $158 so as of right now we have 62, 814 that we've raised for fundraising efforts different events and community members and businesses and we're working on getting like the thank you and all of that written out to all of our different community members but that takes time so we're we're getting there but that's what we have so far for our donations we are still
currently taking donations especially when people we've talked to a few people this week they're looking at year-end tax donations and and things like that we are still taking them at the deco so all they have to do is just reach out to me and I'll get them all the information that they need Deco Project Progress Report so right now with that $900, 000 tax abatement the $200, 000 from the Deco Foundation and the $62, 814 from fundraising the money raised so far was 1
million $162, 814 so as of 11 five yesterday we've paid out $654, 057 and 32 cents obviously a lot at work was masonry brick work on the outside of the building improving the steel beams on the building getting them so that they're not rusting things of that nature that was also the roof work that was completed that's two new furnaces and an air condensing unit that had to be put in at
the same time when we found out that that or excuse me not air condensing unit a coil unit that was bad and rusted out that we had to put in the same time we were doing those furnaces I wash stations up and running complete all the emergence lights and the walking track lights are all converted to the LED now and they are all up and running on the walking track front entryway heaters the fire panels have all been updated and now we do have the monitoring system so we have let's say we have a fire or a
trouble sensor something like that the the monitoring company immediately calls the sheriff department to dispatch the fire department now to the deco so that hasn't been up and running for a while so that is now everything is up and running and working in digital then Obviously that those numbers don't total the 6fifty-four. There's been ceiling tiles purchased that are vinyl PVC to put over the new hot tub because right now we just have the cardboard tiles. They don't
do really well in humidity areas. So we found out that they actually have PVC vinyl tiles. So we'll be cutting all those down now that the pool's drained and getting all of those replaced in the women's shower area, the men's shower area and in the hot tub area. Well, we're shut down for the pool painting stuff. Um upcoming projects, the painting, Brian came today. We met with the Titan Machinery guys that they're getting the lifts into the building with we
might have to take a little extra time on the painting and and ice blasting due to the weight of the equipment. They're worried about the tile. They're going to put down three-quarter-inch plywood which they've put on the whole entire time over all the tile but they might have to use scissor lifts instead of using the lift where they thought they could because they're going to be too close to the pool edge and they just want to make sure that their guys are safe and then also with the weight of the equipment, they don't want to get that close to the back benches with the tile. So, where we're on on that with him right now they are going to
start moving in equipment and lifts Monday or Tuesday of next week and they will have their full crew here starting on the fourteenth of November they were just finishing up a project like it was CHS and Glendon or Dilworth or something and then now they're moving here so cool yes and they figure the project will take about a month start to finish with the blasting and then the painting and then we have also been talking with the walking track company for surfacing the walking track and they're sending out samples of
the three colors that we've picked and then we'll get those and then that will be going on immediately following probably towards the end of December the walking track will be the rubber walking track on top will be finalized for getting that installed hot tub we paid the down payment all of the blueprints have been submitted to the state they did get sent back for something with the flow rate and a few of the pipe detailings they've been resumit as soon as that's approved that
the state will be able to order the hot tub because we want to make sure we know exactly what we're getting so we don't have something messed up we want to get everything approved by the state and then we'll order that hot tub it's four to six weeks for the delivery time at that point and then the company is ready to go so where is that come coming out of the hot tub yeah well the company that we're working with is My Aquatics out of West Fargo okay I think the hot tub actually comes out of Canada but taking a all that while their paint's going on right Brianna? No. They haven't no it's that'll
the painting will be all done while the yeah. Yep. Wow. Yep. Um we'll go to the Hot Tub Electrical. You guys all received bids in that Email for the electrical except for this one. I received this one at about when did I walk in your office four o'clock after? About 4 o'clock today. So, there's a Birkin Electric that submitted their bid today. Um the other two bids. You're lying nuts. Like. I said, why
do companies do that? It drives me nuts. Well, I had to just remind them that today was the council meeting. We wanted to get stuff approved tonight. There's also the Magnum Electric Bill or not bill. The Magnum Electric quote. That quote was for $22, 900. The Birkin Electric Quote was for Casey Canule. 1313. On the back page. Thirteen six. Okay. It's thirteen six and Ada Electric quote was for $twelve, 000 now
Paul's caveat with this is that he's been doing a lot of crystal sugar stuff and and so that is as close as he could get at this point in time now all of these quotes are subject to change but I mean this is these are I told them give me the best quote that you can at this point in time so so these are the three quotes for the council to look at for the electric for the hot tub which was not in the original line items that we approved last April but we've had these
companies walk through the building we've sent pictures we've sent them the mechanical electrical blueprints from when the original was built and so I think they have a pretty good handle on it and all three of them could be timely when you need them basically if you think yes okay yes and we told them it's going to be that January kind of time frame sure January February does this need to be tonight the only reason I
say that since the eight electric one I I see the big word estimate on there well they're all estimates but no but I mean it's you know he's obviously throwing you a number that he's thinking of there in my mind anyways can that be a firmed up number do you want are you looking for this tonight doing it in two months right it can be December too you know what I mean like so you want something more I don't know that or but do we need a commitment for he needs a commitment from us so I suppose like put him on the schedule or
whatever the word he didn't like either was these bids are subject to change well but bids shouldn't be subject to change they should be bids so the one thing is though is we have to actually jackhammer out the flooring to see when you get in their stuff that's that's why I say these are rough estimates I mean they know what panels they need they know what breakers they need they know if they need to rerun wiring or not everything is three phase there's enough room in the breaker boxes we've looked at all that it's the what do you
find when you go under the concrete. Okay so then to follow up with Sean's question obviously the hot tub's not going to be here for six to eight weeks. Yep. When is the floor going to get jackhammered then can we rebid it? Should we no when they're taking the jackhammering out of the floor like. You might want to do it all at once. That hot tub's coming out the new one's going in. So we need to know either this meeting or December meeting. We need to have the electric beds approved. So whoever knows so they can
purchase the equipment. Yeah. Because they have to yeah and I think you can safely say that Magnum Electric is out because that's almost double the price of the of the other two. Correct. You know what I mean? Other two seem very a lot more similar. I really do like how they actually have some stuff broke down. Like none of these vids ever are broke down. They're just like wap. Here's 8 grand. Here's one. You know they have a little bit more labeled up. They don't have prices by it. But at least it's telling us what we're getting instead of just you know wiring for new hot tub estimate 8
grand. True but not worth 10 grand. You know what I mean? It's just oh I wish they would break em down more. Me too, son. Me too. Here's here's what I'm guessing. Once we get the approval from the state, is that what you said? You sent them. You sent it back, right? Okay. So, I. Do these people need that that state okay? No. That doesn't matter. That won't change anything. Doesn't matter with the electrical. Okay. You know, you see what I'm saying? I didn't know if that would
change. It's it's the plumbing that changed. Okay. Nothing with the electrical. Right. Okay. Right. Because the pumps and and the the pumps, the filters, all of that stuff's already figured out. It's. You know what they need. It's the drains and the plumbing of the actual hot tub that the Department of Health has to certify off on. You are far more educated in this Brianna obviously than the rest of us are. So, we're just asking this. No, yeah. Yup. Um the
company that's putting in the hot tub. Yup. Obviously, they're going to come in and jackhammer all the flooring and the tile. They're not. We have to find a company to do that. Can we can we do that? By a December meeting and then have these electoral companies come in and look at it knowing that the hot tub's not going to be ready for another four weeks after that and be like ask down that question tomorrow I'll Email them and ask them I mean where do they need that answer because then it's not an estimate then it's like okay I I I can physically see that we have to replace X that we're going to need Y here's my bid maybe I don't I don't know I
the only thing I know that when we were meeting with the initial hot tub information is there's there's sand and they they don't exactly know what's underneath that hot tub. Right. No one. Eric what's underneath the hot tub? Yeah Eric. Eric wasn't there. That's the problem some dirt if it's sand if it's concrete in that building I wouldn't put it there I don't know I mean I'm sure it's like any project you do you never know when you until you get in there and
start doing it as as but one of the things you said and and just kind of go back to what what Sean had said and and kind of just so I understand what you said you you kind of wanted though if we have that we're going to jack hammer that floor out remove that you essentially want that other one there so you can just slide it in there hook it up and put described it? Because if you just jackhammer the tile around it then you can see. Well that was my next question. Well see here's the problem. We you kind of have to take the hot
tub out to find where the star is right? Yeah. That's the and then you're going to have a big hole. So then the follow up question is that if there's noone in there anyway it will be by then. Of course we're going to open the pool up by. So I guess my question was we got a lot of barriers at Public Works. Yeah. What? I said we got a lot of barriers of public works. Can we just block it off? The problem is I suppose I gotta walk right through there to go to the locker room. Could
be a liability too. Yeah. That's I mean if the whole building was going to be down I'd probably agree with that but. Yeah. Man we want to get people swimming again because people have and and I and I guess I'm I'm not necessarily advocating for one way or the other. Just just asking the question is. But I can ask. If we have a giant hole there are we are we opening up a liability. That that's why we haven't taken it out yet. I mean we've taken every out of the hot tub closet we've gotten that like almost all ready to go you know we we haven't opened up for that door yet
that's you know Brianna's done all this work like she's the one that's been taking out the walls been taking out the equipment and saving us a ton of money that way so who takes the old hot tub out there's a new company and putting in the new one I yes oh okay no what I can ask that question to Dan tomorrow I can Email him and ask him hey is there any possibility that we could How does it work? Can we take the old hot tub out and but again, I don't I don't know about the
liability part of it. I mean, I don't really want a big hole sitting there and if all of a sudden, there's sand that comes in and everything else. I don't I don't. But I mean, I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal that MPJ. Move that wall in the steam room until we had to take out all the benches and everything's rotten and then there's mold and we're trying to mitigate that and. You know what? If one thing does kind of go into another. Especially with that old And it's local.
You don't want to get more pressed into local too. Absolutely. Yeah, the bid's 12000. Yeah. So, I think we should. I'll just make the motion delayed on the table right now that accept the A electric bid for 12 grand. I'll second that. Yeah. At least they can prepare for things too now and you know. Get it on the books. Get ready. Yeah. Get going. It's not saying that Sean and John's you know concerns. They're obviously valid but to keep this ball rolling here. Yeah. Um the only thing that I would ask before I I call the
question is obviously anything over the 12, 000 if Paul runs at some obviously he's going to be in contact with us. That's the other nice thing about doing something local. Right. Um so okay. I got a motion and a second to accept eight electrics bid of $12 thousand dollarsfor the hot tub all in favor. Uh I'll impose motion passes. Uh Brianna, do you want to go just because we skipped? You want to go to the tile bid next? Is that okay? Tile bid. Okay. Yup. So,
MacArthur Tile Company. Again, we started talking about the steam room tile. Um when we started taking to move that walls to make the hot tub closet bigger because we needed it for the extra pumps and the Dimetrius Earth Filters. We had to take a little bit of space away from the steam room. So, we had to build a new wall in there. Mm hmm. The steam room is still big enough but when we were taking out the bench part, all of the studs were rotten. Everything was rotten in there and so we had to remove. Yeah, I know, right? Of course. Steel
studs in a in a steam room it's amazing wow so just so you guys know we did build the new wall out of block so it's cinder blocked so it's not going to rust and our lifetime yeah I like that idea too so so now we have to retile and we have some grout issues in there from the old tile and so I asked Carl and I've asked a couple other tile people about re grouting and they basically told you can't afford it so start you
can't afford to regroup because you have to dremel it all out and then re grout everything we had where the old bed sat about three feet up it's just cement board there's no tile actually there so what this company is suggesting there's there's two base bits the number one is only redoing the tile four feet up and leaving the rest which that doesn't protect and it won't waterproof and it's only $1, 000 difference or for the
extra $1, 000 we can get all-new waterproofing over every surface in that room minus the ceiling because the ceiling is in really good shape so you take and you put reed waterproofing on all of the walls and the flooring so we jack hammered out or we hammer drilled out the whole old tile so we could use the same drain so we don't have to replace drains because we couldn't have it be a gap there and for for that that will give us the four by four tiles the waterproofing grouted everything's done in the steam room is ready to go
so just so everyone's on the same page because I had to ask the question because it it maybe is a little confusing you don't have to do one to do two it literally is only $1$1, 000 correct yeah to do number two because it's the labor of it yeah oh so is this something that they're going to do before the hot tub or is this company going to have to tile this company is booked up through January right you know what I mean because I'm I'm guessing there's going to be quite a bit of tile work around the new hot tub well now here so this John
let's let's do this first. We don't know if we're tiling it. Oh okay okay. Or never mind. I'm just saying are they going to interfere? Is that what I'm going to was going to get at? Yeah. Um the answer to that is no. Okay. So, we have motion for $1, 475 through MacArthur Company. Mike. I'll make that motion. Okay. MacArthur Company. Second that. MacArthur Tile. Tile. Uh excuse me. MacArthur Tile Top. Tile.
Okay. So, I got a I got a motion from Mike and a second from Casey in the amount of 1, 475 to do everything except the ceiling all in favor. Hi. Hi. All opposed. Motion passes. Cool. Okay. Uh Last. Diana, last item, Katie. Last item. It's on the, it's. Page four and five will be your guys' attachment that Ashley sent you. Yeah, I got it. I think it's also in the middle of the packet somewhere too but. Yeah,
it is. It's the estimate for Rusco Window Company. Um it this, now, the original contract is so everybody is on the same page with the windows. The original contract was for $86, 060 or something like that. For the contract. We had to do a change over order for $8, 000 because the seal plates when we were doing the masonry work on the building, we had noticed once we had some brick out of there that the seal
plates all went back into the building. So, every time we had a potential heavy rain that after the caulking was gone after 20 years, it was potentially going back into the brick which was causing some issues with the masonry on the building. So, we're trying to fix that up. So, you guys at the last meeting approved that $8, 000 estimate for the seal plates. This change order came in after that after we were dealing with the owner of the company and the supervisor of the installation guys for some other issues. Um before they
said we could use the same wood that's underneath there then they said we had to change out the wood the estimate is for $7, 517 to just put some new wood under windows that on the bus yes just keeps adding on. Don't really have a choice on that one though. No. Not at all. Again, I just these these these numbers that just come up and they don't give you any breakdown. It just drives me nuts. It just drives me nuts.
Just problem is. Pull numbers out of their head and just boom. I just. So one of the things is I'll just say this, they did the work. Right. And then they gave us the change order. Right. Yeah. This change order is not been approved and Brianna and I have discussed it and I'll put it out there. I mean, I know it's it's there but it would be really nice to have a breakdown because $7500 does seem like a lot to replace you know, small. One by four. Pieces of rotted. Eight-foot
piece of wood from Menards that cost three and 48 cents. Um so, we have talked a little bit about that. I mean, we've been in you know, a mess with the windows for the last three, four months here or whatever. It seems like all summer but it's only been a few months. So, it's kind of a hard one to when the work is done but it also they didn't bring it to us until after the work was done. So, I don't know if you want to ask them for a break. It was kind of during when they were doing the work. Um they sent it said that owner of the company
so there'll be change order and I said well you can send it but it's gotta go to the city council. They don't meet until November. They also have to button up the windows. Um and they were behind because of workmanship and installation issues. Um so there was a rush on that and he said that and I understand that. Um but it it I also sent an Email back that told him that I think this change order was too high and that it had to be discussed at council because I wasn't
going to approve this change order without I mean I'm not approving a change order anyways but this one was a little tough to swallow. Yeah. Just seeing what was done so. So, I don't know if there's any negotiating but there's also the caveat that they still have both of the pool door window frames and doors to install yet and we need them to take out the one when we get the hot tub. Yeah. So, we also have to tread with that. So, they still need them to come back. So. Can
we that is the list and send it back to them and try to get. Yes, we can. At least if we have to always do a special session, come back again for this one thing, you know, instead of just blanket. So, you'd like them to put together more of a itemized material list. For this feature. I think that would be a great idea. I think for every change order from here. It should be itemized. Yeah. Not a dumb idea. You know, when you see the ones from the that they did, they they were always broke down I mean, we didn't
have every last penny on there but at least told you what they were doing and they got an idea. You felt good about it at least. Mm hmm. Okay, I will send this back to Terry and I will Can I can I just ask you one quick question and and I know this is this is water under the bridge times 30 years, but how does something like that get pass an inspection we talk about that it doesn't make any sense I mean is it just me or you mean no seals yeah yeah good point
now I mean and and clearly we can't do anything about it now but I mean that's that's kind of a big oops so just just putting it wasn't every window it was a lot of them some of them didn't have the brick that went back so far because there was a break in the window sill so there was like this bend I guess you could say this bend in the window sill obviously wasn't this much but there was this bend and I don't know if they had the seal attached to the brick at some point in time
I don't think so because that's why we had to have Danny cut that brick down so we had a one inch a one-inch transition so we'd never have that water problem again and I kept stressing that. I don't want to have water in the building ever again. That's not something that we. Yeah. Even if there's coking. Well, we'll we'll we'll use a lot of coking. I I don't care if coking goes bad after a while. And if you don't catch it, you know, I mean, obviously, you know what to look for. I'm sure those seals as it broke down as that wood
broke down, it tilted more. Right. You know, you started, you know, because I I wise looked at some of those seals. All it was was three-quarter-inch plus not even summer heads you know what I mean yeah wow they broke down a lot so I think it's just yeah let's see as they broke down they just kept tipping in tipping in and tipping in the okay my theory but well yeah frustrating there yeah yeah it's it that's when you see it's frustrating here's the other here's the other thing too just to add to some of this
conversation because Sean and I had a conversation here today and I feel a little naive and you felt a little naive when we approved 86 thousand dollars worth of windows. Most definitely. We thought they were like replacing windows on a house. You take the old window out. The the seal, the the frame, everything. You put a new window in. Right. Not the glass. Right. And I looked back after you left my office today and in the estimate that we received from them. It doesn't.
It doesn't say. So I felt better about. Yup. I'm a little naive. But look back I mean that might have been a point of clarification too because then we wouldn't have got the change order last month for eight grand we wouldn't got the change order client for 7500 you wouldn't have known if the window like if you replace the frame they wouldn't have replaced the seals and they wouldn't have had to replace the no you would have 30 year old had to replace that price would have been triple for the frames and windows but I that's
what I mean I don't think any of us and I'm I'm not blaming anybody I'm just I was naive to think it was like a house window not an industrial commercial it was just the pains but it never said that I guess is what I was getting back even when they now are fixing this they didn't replace them no I know they popped them off the conversation of it right so I just want to add and maybe you wanted to do this but so with everything that we have done so far and all of these
change orders that have come in and everything that has to be done Um we're still sitting at the end of all of this at $117, 656 remaining for contingency. Sure. Um so we're still. Good. You know you're still watching numbers obviously. We are watching things. We haven't even done half the work yet. Not done yet. Correct. We've done all the outside. The inside hasn't been touched yet. That's where all the immunity and the moisture's been the last 30 years actually. Well not don't look at the outside not. Well I think the outside was in a lot of other shape but I think we're going to go
through that money just as quick. I sure hope the outside. The inside you're talking about painting. We might run carpet flooring. Carpet flooring. That type of stuff is a good structural. An extra $200, 000. I'm just saying I hope the big change. We've been we've been very careful to watch what's been going on. I mean that's the one you know I mean I hope that everything then Brianna we
do kind of found a better time. Absolutely. Yeah. So I think I think just looking through different things. We don't have a lot of I mean that's why we've gotten that hot tub closet once the hot tub was shut down we you know we didn't really have anybody using it let's get this out of here let's figure out what we can do moving forward so you know I think a lot of the walls are opened up that we had to and I I think we're going to be okay there the one thing I'm worried about is some of the tile when they take the frames out of the doors and the windows that is one thing that we would not
have budgeted for not knowing but when they had to take the one window out and try to reframe it to get the seal better they broke a lot of tile in under the window frame and that tile from 1991 in marshmallow white or whatever color it is you can't rematch it again and so we we had to take that tile and we basically redid that whole window sill with the tile that we had regrounded it re everything but I think if we would have done that throughout the whole
building we would've yeah I don't know what we would have done it would have been bad when you're doing some of those tile just like in a house don't try and match the paint just switch up the design windows of colors. Mix it up hard off where it doesn't look like you try. So baby baby blue water tide and marshmallow white dark gray. I know I know. Yeah. The steam room. White and gray. That's the tile colors we're rocking. We'll match the floor hopefully so. Wow. Anything
else. But I think that. Get some extra. Kinda where we're sitting at right now so. Perfect. Okay. Thanks. Good job Brandon. Yup. Thank you very much. Yeah. Oh I will leave this. These are the a it's all kind of one copy. I couldn't get them to print bigger but that's the blueprints that Dan sent me for the hot tub. So, if anybody wants em, I can send them all by Email too. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Alright, Liquor Store. Uh we have one bid there. Um so, still in the back of the building. We probably
should have done this six, seven years ago when we installed the rope. Um it's little over five thousand. Uh 5, 148, We did have another company strongly recommended getting on a bid. Um the only problem is I take to Tetra America and because you have to pull back the roof, it does affect our warranty on the roof if we were to have somebody else do that. Um I am recommending that we take this
from long-term capital. Obviously, you guys know that the liquor store, we don't have a lot of extra money laying around. Um so, my recommendation would we approve the bid for America, $5, 148 from long-term capital and get that fixed here at before if we can before winter. Man, there's a lot of money for a gutter but. All steel gutter. I know. Yeah. It's 25 feet of gutter. Yeah. Take a measure. But I'm
close. I bet. I bet I'm close. Okay. I bet I'm close. By looking at it. It's just a back of the building. We can go with someone else. No, I we're not going to mess with the warranty yet. You know what? We're not going to do that. I'll make the motion. We can't do that. I just like to whine about it. Yeah. What? She's Again, again, just boom. 5 grand. We would have done this when we did the roof. It was $650. Yeah, people should know that. When they did. When they did the roof, they passed. So, just just so we're not passing blame on
anybody because I was not. Council at that point. When we did the roof on that, it would it was not paid for by taxpayer dollars. This was insurance money from when the elevator burned out. Correct. So. So, the roof was free. And well, The taxpayers didn't pay for is what I'm getting at. So noone at the council should be in trouble today. I do not remember seeing the bid for an outside gutter for 6 50. I think it got shut down before you saw it.
It doesn't matter. There's water on the bridge. We gotta call it. We gotta fix. It's gotta be fixed. Yeah. It is what it is. Either way. It's rough. Speaking of that, Shawn and I were there. Sean and I were there today. The next thing that's going to happen next year is we need to get a tub coming out. Cuz it's looking really rough on that back wall where that water's been sitting the last couple of years. We know a guy now. Yeah. Yeah. So that'll be cool. That'll be next topic. Um okay so. Jeez. That's not a quote.
Whoo. Yes. The sales. We're not closing the liquor store. Whoo hoo. City administrator. That'll be next month. Not what I meant. Okay, so I have a motion for Casey to approve the 5-thousand-dollar section. Okay, I got a motion for mayor all in favor. I I I guess. Jeez. Whoo. That was a tough one. That was so fast. That's not what I meant. Yeah, because
of a counter problem. Say that we do need to talk about our sales there though. Um so, last week or 2 weeks ago, Jerry and I went to an NBA meeting and that is Minnesota Municipal Beverage Association Meeting. Uh it was a regional meeting that they've held every every year. So, it's us every municipality that's involved. So, from Barnesville, Holly, Warroad, Minnesota everywhere around here and we're up there and so a couple of the big trends that we were seeing is
that there's there's a few things that they're going to start doing to help out small municipalities one is that now if you're part of the municipality group you are able to buy in bulk with the other liquor stores so a lot of times like when Jerry wants to order she has to buy so many cases in order to get the discounted rate well that always doesn't something that we can do having a small liquor store or have the amount of sales that we can it doesn't within a year be able to sell it so now we can purchase it there's a bulk
order for example we always do the huge order of Bush Lights the 30 packs, but you have to order in the past season 500 cases, 000 cases or whatever it is and that's not peaceful now we have the option to partner with other municipalities to do that one order and then we can get that discounted rate the other big that we were seeing is across Minnesota and actually nationwide there's a huge deficit in sales as far as liquor beer and wine they said it's between 5 and 7% right now
down across the board and we have been seeing it lately too at the liquor store our sales have been down Jerry has done a great job over there about moving her margins around so some of the more popular items are a little bit higher margin but when I'm talking about a higher margin she's putting them up like 2% so she can put others down so it might end up being like a 90 cent increase in a case of beer but in the return we're seeing a little bit better profits so our sales
are down but our profits were up this last month and with that being said we got our audits back and this is the third year in a row that our liquor store has had a loss so with that being said we are required to hold a public hearing to discuss the future of our liquor store and that's where I was getting at when we said not we have any intention of closing it but we are required now to have that public hearing and get the community support we're very
fortunate that last time we had this we still had community support behind liquor stores because we did do this before and then 2020 came we had over a $6, 000 profit set us back in the ring and now we've had the last three years so I just want to kind of go over 2021 we had a $6, 439 loss 2022 we had a $1500 loss and then in 2023, we had a $1018 loss so we're sitting right on the edge we're not it's not huge losses but
it's considered a loss so what I'm introducing what every municipality has been doing now for the last year almost some of them almost two years is selling THC products and I know I brought this to the council a year ago the reality is we we've got a lot of numbers from municipal we we sit in this meeting and raise our hands as the only municipality not selling it and the question was why and you know we said we brought it once and we talked about it but a year ago, there
wasn't a lot of knowledge behind the products. There wasn't a lot of knowledge about monitoring it or fleecing it and now a year later, we're sitting at much better state and so for example, I mean, and I can send this all out to you. I did not compile it all with a lot of numbers but you know, small on or off-sale liquor stores are making anywhere between two thousand and four thousand dollars in sales with fifteen 00 to $2500 a profit a month just in THC products if
we brought in this product and we're able to sell even if at the end of the year we had a $3, 000 profit that could mean the difference between a loss for the year and breaking even on a profit with that being said a couple of things that we looked into some of her big beverage companies that are big distributors now are selling these products so they're coming from her Ruppy Little deal distributors sorry it's definitely more regulated now than it was a year ago there's
also the board that set up so the cannabis board is now set up with the state of Minnesota in January of 2025 it's going to take over so I was like explaining to a few more of you guys but for comparison the gambling gambling and alcohol board has six people that monitor every liquor establishment in the in Minnesota they all have their districts cannabis is going to have 23 people do that. So, somebody's regulating it. The next thing we talked about in
the last time we discussed this was the policing of it. I have talked heavily with Steve about this. They're prepared. Uh they're set up for some trainings now to go to detection training so they're able to detect it while driving. Um we're looking at some grants to get the equipment. So, we are able to test it just like you would on on a pullover of a DWI. Um with that being said, in the last year that it's been pretty much everywhere around us. There's been a lot of usage in Ada just because it's not being bought here. Uh they have not received, I mean, none of their
calls are due to THC products. So, with that being said, I'm not saying that they're supporting it but they're definitely able to want for it and they're They don't have a reason to push back. They don't have a reason to push back. So, that being said, I would like to open the discussion selling THC products at our municipality here in Ada. We have an extra cooler by the way Ashley and I talked this
morning they do have an extra cooler and space for it the idea when we had our discussion would be if you guys agreed to it tonight it would be start out in small quantities just to see if it sells obviously because it isn't a retail space still but if you guys have been in any bar or restaurant anywhere between here and Red Lake and Lake of the Woods and anywhere to Minneapolis everyone else has them probably except us Yeah. Um. The the idea is this reason why the
beer and wine and alcohol is down 5 -6% is because these buyers are moving to the THC products and that's what's keeping the liquor stores going and so that's why I'm bringing it to you is to try to make up that revenue. So, sounds like we have a revenue problem and a revenue solution. Sounds a great idea. I can't guarantee it but. It's better than doing nothing. I don't I can do a nap to hand. Do we get a do we get a fair amount of questions about it from customers? So
Jerry gets a lot of calls. Sure. And they ask if they she sells THC and so she's received she says multiple calls a week asking about it. So there is. So there is calls. Um she said people have stopped by and then they they leave because they're not looking for alcohol products too. I. That brings up another good point. Um these will only be drinks. We are not doing the gummies. Okay and that's where I that's where I'm going to open my mouth. I'm okay I think with the drinks,
I'm not okay with the gummies right now until this board is out and I think we see how it goes started. Just just me. Just me. Involving on that. Yup. We'll know more in it. Yeah. This time next year. Yeah. And we'll see and we'll probably cross that path this time next year but. Yeah. The drinks, I I I can I can be talked into the gummies right now. I can't. I guess. That's just me. Yeah. That's a good way to put it. Okay. I'll make the motion to approve the sale of THC drink and solely drinks through the liquor store. Okay.
That motion Casey. Second at. Second from Kim. Any other questions, comments? So, when would they be starting to do this right away or? Yeah, I'd like to I'd like to get the cooler in there and so we she's been really researching products the last two weeks. Mm hmm. Um figuring out what our margins would be. So, for example, most people said at this time they're doing between 50 and 60% markup, which a huge mark of it. They're selling like crazy. It's not affecting
anybody's sales and we'd be right in line with what other liquor stores but we're she's looking at price points. She's looking at deals and she's looking at different products that are selling at other stores. So, at the MMBA meeting, we got contact information for all these and so she's been Emailing em and as they've come in, they've been letting us know what products are selling really well, what brands are selling really well and so again, she wants to DS Beverages has been one that she's really been working with lately. It's one of our biggest distributors and so we'd like to stick with one that's reputable. Sure. Um so,
I don't have, she sent me a products but. I talked to her this afternoon and she sounded like it could happen. Pretty quick. It could happen pretty quickly. I mean you gotta get out and pick out what you want. Yeah. Yeah. We we we all. Within a few weeks. Distributors so it could happen pretty quickly. You know. Okay. I'm sure just in 1015 days I'm guessing that it could be stuff in there. Give or take. I better not throw a number out but Can I ask one question on on the gummies? Are other liquor stores selling those?
Yes. Are they is it is it as as The liquids are more profitable than the gummies but I do have their numbers that they're making off the gummies as well. Okay. The liquor is or the the liquid has become as more popular like their sales are a lot higher but gummies are on. I I guess the gummies I don't know how to say this. In relation to are they bringing in as much of a profits? Not as much as the liquids. No. Okay. But they're not the sell. The the places are selling both of them. Mm hmm. Are they seeing a pretty significant increase? Um
the one here, I've got a few here but like the one I was looking from Holly, the gummies were bringing in about $1500 a month and then the liquid was bringing about 3000 so almost double. Yeah, the gummies. The numbers you gave us were like liquid from other other. Just liquid right now. I've given you. That's good to compare. Um but I do have some of them sent their entire reports and so going through them all they all have gummies that they're selling now I don't know I
don't have a list of like how many different products they are so maybe they're gummies they only have like two options or three options I don't know and and again I'm not I'm not advocating for that I'm just more like looking at numbers and you're talking about different revenue streams and those types of things and just something for different for me I would bring in both you then you have but I'm not whatever you guys are comfortable with because for me I'd bring in both see what products sells in Ada and if we're selling a high
number of em but I'm looking at strictly sales and revenue and trying to make sure that our liquor stores gets back up in the profit we can always you guys we can always add the gummies on lottery right and I know it's you know but for me it's strictly revenue huh Call the question. Okay and motion Casey second from Kim to introduce liquid only THC to the municipality on favor. I opposed motion passes. What
does it mean for like the other like as I was off sale what is what are other what are restaurants can they do that or can't they so on sale can sell as well. Um they have their own rules of how many they can serve a night. They're very restricted. And they're restricted so they can only serve two and you can't be drinking alcohol and THC so I think for on sale right now it's probably still kind of in the middle of it like I don't know if what they're doing but on sale can all so it is how about what the interest locally
then is there any of that then that we've I have never had anyone we weren't sure we're going to have to do it yeah well remember we set a license but it it'll be it it won't be up to us once January 2025th hit for January 1st, I think this is 2025 that's right Okay. Talk a lot today. Which is not the worst thing in the world. Right. We'll pay one month of it and then we'll decide. They'll they'll yeah. That we'll pay for next year. So we don't have to worry about anything right now either though right? For Noble. Okay.
No. No one. No and neither one of the the entities none of them have approached us about even the the license part of it just to test the water so I think at this point we just let it kind of float until let them be. Just wondering. Yep. Yep. So. Alright. Alright. Event center bids. Uh we opened bids this morning. Yeah, you're going. Yeah. Okay. And I sent it out and it's this afternoon when I got it and so right now essentially I
guess what we can announce is that there was six bids four of them came in while we were sitting down here two that are kind of within the ballpark but I think there's one that they're going to pick. I'm not even going to announce it right now because it has nothing to do with us but if you look at the lowest bid, lowest bidder right now is Dan Johnson Construction but that doesn't mean that it's been approved by our insurance or engineers. Um it's a little bit hard to read. So, basically, the base bid is right? I I consider myself
pretty smart and I I don't understand anybody. What what makes me concerned is this is just what I'm saying. I don't know anything about but what makes me concerned is the numbers are all over the place and so the one that is really low is a lot lower. Like like $230, 000. So my concern is once the engineers look through it that there might be something because that needs to still be analyzed by our engineers and so but with that being said basically what we
will be taking is base bid and base bid eight. The other ones are the additional options that they could choose to do or how they would do it. Um base bid A is building from the inside up and replacing all the the beams that. Trust. Trust in there. Uh the bid alternate be sorry. But just real quick before you go on Ashley. Yeah. Because and and this is where I'm getting confused so. Okay. Not only is there a there's a $230, 000
difference between the base bid. Yeah. Then you go to the H there's $149, 000 between so there's one of these two of them three of them maybe all five six of them someone missed something okay so so stall slash gray construction did Email me and they had their base they bid Alternate A Trust wrong they had included an additional $80, 000 in there but it's too late because once the bids are open they cannot change it ah so he did but so that would bring it down to
almost eighty It's still it's still I I know I can't I don't know. 050 grand. The last bid that came in I don't believe that they came up here at all and it should say number six. Yeah. Six. And it should say five hundred thousand not fifty thousand the way he wrote it in there. 4 cents. So that one he did right or wrong. Again this is why we're we there's really nothing for us at this point other than to know that there was six bids. Um it's now reviewed by our engineers and
our insurance but essentially what they'll be taking is base bid and base bid A. That's the way the insurance wants it. The other options were options that our insurance or our engineers put in there as maybe ways once they got in would be simpler obviously than the one at the end includes the roof as well. So, alternate D would be what we would have to pay ourselves if we would like to do the roof portion of it as well. Does C have some of that roof in there too? Cuz that's a big number. C
has the added repairs and that is the. Making the roof. Um the rafters. So C would be our cost as well. Correct. Yes. That's like a. So C and D would be our what if those are so when you go through the bid documents that's why when you just look at it it's hard to see but if you go through the actual descriptions. Those are new building prices. Yeah. So essentially like I said doing base base bid and base bid A is what insurance is going to cover so that's what we're
looking at if you guys decide you want to do the roof then we would be on the hook for those prices and they'll take it back and compare apple sandwich yes and then they'll get back to us yes so we're hope to aid I can't talk tonight we're we're hoping to award a bid on our December meeting is what I think Ashley's hoping to say exactly what's going to say so again if you guys read the Email to that preface this
attachment this is for your guys' eyes only right again the numbers are all over the board anyway so really don't matter but we'll let the insurance company sort it out I'm sure it'll be 234 weeks and hopefully by our December meeting we'll have an answer on which one they decide to go with and hopefully we have some clarification on what's getting replaced and the manner in which it's getting replaced and the the total cost even though we're not paying for it what what it's looking like because right it is so long yeah they're just they don't make any sense. And we sat and look
got the same thing today. Um I will say. Obviously we know one of the construction companies and this is this is public now. It got published. This first sheet that you guys see has been published. The summary of bids. It's the abstract that is just for us right now but what I am hearing from our engineers is that all of them they know except for the equity builders in construction and they've worked personally with all of them and they've never had any problems with any of them so it's nice to know that it they're all reparable good
companies so and the other thing too they you know they all told Ashley that as soon as they get in there it was after the first year anyway so there's not a if we hire X person get in tomorrow so they've all set up for the first year so it's kind of a mute point they're all in the same playing fields and I guess if they're going to go from the inside out it don't matter if it's January or if it's May you know what I mean they can do it in the winter time yeah so yeah Okay, that's where we're at there. Um Northwest Minnesota Foundation Child Care Grant a couple about two months ago. Um
Karen DeVos came to me and she wanted to look at expanding her little learners daycare center and we went looking and we found a grant from Northwest Minnesota Foundation. I applied for it and we found out last week we rewarded $22000 dollarsand so with that, I just want you guys to know that that'll come in. We should receive the check here in the next week and then I be awarding the check to go back out to little learners and then they will utilize that to open
up their second location which they have announced so it's not okay private no I've talked to Karen about this because I need you guys to know because that money is going to come in and out so you guys need to know it and the city had to apply for it it was part of a grant that was trying to bring in child care or advance child care in our community so she is going to be opening a location on where Ada Nutrition was right on me it'll be infant only there it will allow her to have 16 infants versus her six that she's able to have now and
it'll be huge for I think our community in the center and I mean just from the experience that I have the you can't get an infant in I mean I know you've had this experience and you know Case has had this experience so I think this will be really good for Ada because that not only then brings all the infants over here with the only the addition of two more employees because right now she's she can only fit six but you have to have one for four so she has to have two employees anyways but it will allow then her center to open up for another six toddlers toddlers as well so it'll huge
be able to bring a lot for our community good deal nice job good job so yeah so that'll come in and out and then the home rehab grant I just wanted to give you guys an update because we had a lot of houses being done here in the last month pull up my document here. So, right now, we have one, two, three, four, five, six, six houses that have been completed with their roof replacements or their siding windows whatever
needed to be done. Uh we have an additional one, two, three, four, five, six, 7, eight, nine, ten, 11 that have been awarded and they are sitting and waiting now to get bids or they've received bids and the contract can't start till spring of 2025 so that's big news and then we have 123456 open spots now so we originally had six that had applied and
for whatever reason they either didn't get accepted they may have sold the home we did have one pass away but anyways it opens up six more so right now I'm reaching out to the community we only have the rest of this year and next year to utilize these funds so this would be a great time to get any interest before I brought it to a council meeting I did reach out to social services and public health I thought if they're working with any individuals there that they know of that they can maybe direct them up to city it is
income based I believe that it off the top of my head it's 54, 000 yeah it's 54, 000and under for single family home double family home it's 58, 000 so and so I want to get the word out there if there's anybody that's interested in that we have six more available and you can get up to $20, 000 for your home rehab needs but I do think it's cool because we've been doing this now for I think we started applying for it in 2020 so it's
