Okay. Six o'clock, I'll ask everyone to stand and 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 the minutes reflect that we do have four council members present times. We do have a quorum. First item on the agenda as always is a citizen's form. If there's any
individuals from the community that would like to address the council, now would be the time to do so. I just like to say that I've been walking at the deco and I it's just a great facility. It looks so nice. It's just such an asset for the community and I just think I just want to encourage you. You know, sometimes you guys spend money on it but I think it's worth every penny penny that you put into it. Yeah, I think we've spent a couple of pennies on it. Good to hear. Good to
hear of you. It looks good. It's it's it's it's great that it's back open and the community is back utilizing it and I heard Ashley on kaidoscope here last week just saying how many people were there utilizing it in the mornings and nights so yeah no it's awesome everyone else is on the agenda unless Burke you want to add something I'm good mister alright moved on to the consent agenda small change in
letter B just a slight misprint and the accounts payable the new number should be twenty-six thousand eight hundred and thirty dollars and fifty-eight cents again twenty-six comma eight three zero. five eight I need a motion to approve Okay and a motion from Sean and a second from Scott E all in favor. Hi. Hi. Hi. All opposed. Motion passes. Uh onto the agenda. The only change more engineering. There will be no
update from him this week so we'll cancel that out. So I need a motion to approve please. Make the motion. Okay, I got a motion from Wayne. Second. Second from Scott N, all in favor. Aye. All opposed. Motion passes. First item, Al's disposal. Charlie and Julie if you guys want to Mike's there for you. Join us. Yeah so we can hear you loud and clear. Everybody. Uh if you guys want to talk about cleanup week first. Yep. Um yeah. We can start there. So I guess we were
proposing the dates of Thursday May the first through Saturday May the third. Uh times would be on Thursday at five to 8 PM. Friday would be a new til 6 PM and the third on Saturday be eight to four. Uh was we hoping we could use the old city lot to grab a lot again if that would be applicable. Yeah. I'll reach out to Nick. Yeah, he hasn't had a problem with it
the last five years. Yeah. A little bit. I don't know. Yeah. So, yeah. So, I should reach out to mister verify but. Yeah. Nice location. Should be, should be good. So, any questions about any of that from the council or. And the times I guess is the same that we've done for years you know unless it's you know we guys want you know more hours, more days and that's something we can talk about. It's all about staffing and all that after the gap but looks like my crew has
to go through and you know do their normal route first and then we're going to the second shift so it gets to be long days for my guys. Mm hmm. Yeah. It sounds good. Any backup dates? I know that's been in the talk before if we had to do it. Yeah. We can just do the next weekend. Usually we just push it back to the. Okay. Yeah. Weather's bad or. Yeah. Yup. Good work. You know rain events. I guess I don't know how we'll handle them if it you know stay in contact with.
We'll have to just kind of play that by year just in case you know hey if it rained all day Saturday we just move it back to the next Saturday or something but. Sure. You know. I'm sure that's a busy day. A couple hours is. Actually Thursday. Thursday. Our busiest. Oh it is. I'm amazed how much stuff they can bring in three hours. Yeah. Well usually on Thursday that line wraps around the block so. Yeah. Try everybody through as fast as possible but let's go back to you know separate and separate everything out helps
keep the line moving faster and you guys and Ashley work together on the pamphlet that seems to work perfectly you know like it does every other year and I think last year we really melt down between everybody that's involved in the pamphlet or everybody that's in the pamphlet everything so it'll be just double checking this year so just make sure dates and times and the patients but yeah this is kind of nice to change that and be done and so now it's worked out really nice. Okay. Yeah and I don't believe there are any new it'd be all the same stuff. There's no rules,
new new rules or regulations to that so perfect. Okay. Awesome. Sounds good. Fine. Thank you much for your time. Thank you guys. Thank you. You guys have a wonderful evening. Thank you. Did you want to address the residential? Well, I was assuming we're going to talk about from the committee updates but unless they have something. Either way. Add. Okay. I didn't know if you wanted to. I mean, I don't I don't think we do but we can. I mean, they they could weigh in on it I guess if you want. Okay, I just figured they could
answer. Yeah. Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Um it's been brought to me quite a few times about just those dumpsters in in our city streets particularly on the edge of the properties maybe even borderline into the street I would say again we spent a whole bunch of money at the deco and I I heard about one or two things from people on that but this I probably heard about every week or maybe twice a
week about why do we allow this so I thought should just bring it to the public works and talk about it like just A is it hard to plow around just some of them logistics right okay we as a group came up with I don't think it's or we don't think it should be allowed for just weekly pick up if they're going to clean out a house or or whatever you know if you need a a dumpster like that up in your yard or a roll off or
whatever you guys give em you know that's a different story if it takes a month to clean out mom and dad's house or or whatever it takes a month right but but not to allow em to be just out on the curb for the weekly pickup that's just what we come up with I don't know if anybody has any questions or concerns about that but so Sean and I and Julie actually met one day just to kind of understand because at the city we're not notified when somebody gets a dumpster
because the dumpster is all rented through you guys not through the city so we don't know when they're still paying the same pick up rate unless they get picked up more than one time a week so they're still paying the same amount for their garbage fees that they're just on top of that paying a rental fee two houses falls off so so time out yeah so they're paying the same rate even if that dumpster is full for service for service only paying for service and then they pay the rental from me yeah but it's still just the
rental they don't have an extra service on top of that but if dumpsters full or dumpsters empty, they're paying the same amount. Yeah. Yeah. So, if it's picked up one time a week. If it's picked up multiple times a week, then, there's a next the charging line and last two week months ago, we went over those garbage rates that list and I can send that out again. Mm hmm. That states, you know, if a business does once a week, twice a week, three times a week but residential. Yeah, the businesses aren't the problem. Businesses are wrong. They gotta handle it. Yeah. What I'm saying is on that list,
residential has fee and that's no matter what. We don't have different amounts. So then that discussion bid. We want to remove dumpsters. Do we want to add another fee on top of what they get? Do we want to limit the amount of time that they have in there? And then make an ordinance you know that order be so nice. What we want to do and so. No. Well the same you know the same calls and texts that Sean's getting are you know from neighbors obviously. Right. I source. It's yeah. You can blame following if you want to but it's just in like ****
you know. Do you guys know how many circles? Six. Six but there's like there's like there's like two other sort of six but there's like eight and two of them are at properties that are actually being cleaned. Yeah. Uh one guy passed away another one had a fire. So I know I'm Brian says he's pretty sure that's why they're there but they're also not down by the road. Started because they're trying to clean out and then decide they kind of liked it and have never yes. Excited that they're going to get rid of it kind of
a thing and that's where the talk started you know start talking about is that it's just going to start snowballing I think right yeah it's really going to start snowballing there is I know one two places for sure where there is quite a few that live in the home so now it's like how many garbage cans are we going to allow right versus say dumpster you know dumpsters easier as you know having to have all that spill not the wind picks up for cats and dogs etcetera yeah unfortunately like eight you know garbage cans sitting out there completely full heaping unfortunately the the catch 22
on that is the dumpster is 365 days of the year the garbage cans should only be out there for 12ish hours give or take yeah that's right you know and we all know what can happen yes but yeah there's just there's a lot of neighbors that are unhappy with the it has nothing to do with you guys yeah but no you do we need to figure out yeah we need to figure out as a city if we want to allow this and if not then we gotta create
an orderance you know again if it goes back to even having a month to allow cleaning out of a residence or or so on and so forth and maybe they tell us that you know okay this dumpster is going you know they can only have it for a month and then it has to be gone like they can't say tell me that within 31 days getting back again yeah kind of a thing but yeah something will happen you know I think for like what it based like they yeah we just said that they and they said that it's like it's shouldn't be there for pickups you know
what I mean again for the for the limited time to clean out mom and dad's house or or you know in this case that one house had a fire you know incidentals correct but I and I think not just me but we think that that's a little different story because generally it's up in the driveway it's up next to the house it's not right down on the boulevard maybe even out onto the street you know the ones over here in the entrance of the flower lanes they they crowd out quite a bit You know what I mean? The property is going to get pretty pretty
shallow. And you get. Pretty narrow. Yeah. Narrow streets when you're thinking about how nice we have our streets that those are a little bit narrower. It does. So would you guys have a problem if we limited this? I guess I wouldn't. No. It's not going to affect. No, you know, we don't want to okay. Yeah. No way. Although. Yes. We just recommend. The the person that we had the this summer when we had the major cleanup. Mm hmm. He still has one and he uses
it. I don't know what you wanted. No, that was that's part of that six. Yeah, but I don't know what what you'd want to say there because I mean, would it go back to being. It would be a regular pickup. Doesn't have to go to. But you know, what I'm saying was that it would it get to be where it looks an eyesore. Yeah. I think we're there on. I mean, I don't I don't think that I don't think that's going to help that frustration. Okay I was just you know I get what you're saying yeah you make an ordinance when an ordinance is for all yes you would have to yeah my guess is
this spring we'll have to deal with that property anyway yeah but moving forward I don't know what's council's input I mean I I think we should draft an ordinance I I do too yeah and that was the the boards you know they obviously wanted yeah the committees if they had anything else like you know in this case one of them said do you want if they do have a cleanup house cleanup do you want to get a permit not that there's really a fee to it but just so we know that it's there
right and it'll be there for let's just use the the month of June you know so we know that it's there what's that I like that idea yeah so at least we know it's there we know what it's there I I don't think we need to like say in the winter time we try not to put any of them like on the street otherwise we do correct try to put them on the street during the summer time kind of thing keep them off at properties and right that way but yeah when you're adding on to your house or doing shingles or whatever you know that that again it's it's that's different part time you know what I mean it's usually a short period of time a couple weeks at the most you
know I think what I'm hearing is council is asking Ashley to draft an ordinance for a 30-day limit for dumpsters on personal property excluding businesses of course yeah and have something at the April meeting let's see if I can have the reading done by the April really does come back with April meeting and I mean as long as you guys are okay with it yeah send you a copy of it and if you have questions or you have things that you think I'll take your suggestions in because I want to make sure we work with you guys too. But
I'll try to have that first reading for the April Meeting. Never worked with garbages so I'll see there that I can kind of from. Sounds good. Awesome. We'll go from there. Thank you guys. Thank you. Any questions or concerns definitely just reach out. Perfect. Appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you guys. Thanks. You bet. Okay. Um moving on to Event Center Repairs. You Alex. Alex, yeah. If you want to introduce yourself and.
Sure. Stuck. Jeez, that chair is really heavy but. They're not like. It was it was stuck under the table. Um. Yeah. My name is Alex Schwarzoff. I'm with Interstate Engineering out of the out of our Fergus Falls office and one of our our structural engineers and and we've been hired by you folks to to work through a roof repair on your event center. Um I'm assuming you you approved the contract so presumably you're aware of it. Um that project started. Contractor got
started the first or second week of January I thought I think. I remember there's been a little hiccup one of the things we're doing is adding some steel rods across the bottom cord of those of that roof partially because that one of the walls is leaning out and we want to try to draw it back in and partially so that that doesn't happen again the supplier the contractor is working with us had been having trouble getting that steel I talked to him on Monday yesterday it was supposed to be in today did not get a chance
to that they actually showed up but the contractor was planning to be up here tomorrow then to start installing those and start bringing that wall and they've been doing some other little work they can but really that steel has to go in first because we want to get that wall plumb before we lock everything else into place with some of the other work they'll be doing I did have a conversation with the contractor yesterday he said that assuming they did show up today if all goes well they anticipate being done right around the end of this month the contract date I believe was
the end of April I know it was April I think it was the end they don't see any foresee any issue meaning that date he thinks if everything goes well it could still be the end of March might leak in the April if you know depending on how things go together if that wall moves like we wanted to or not we'll we'll have to play that one a little bit by here you're referencing the North Wall in the ballroom aren't you no that's in the it's in the bar the bar area right here and it's the wall next to the other building which direction just
want to make sure yes yes and it's not leaning badly if it doesn't come in like we wanted to. I don't think it's an issue long term but the intent is we is to anchor some steel bars on either side and then use kind of a turn buckle over a number of these. I think there's 27 or 30 of these and just try to slowly creep it back and get a I don't know if we'll get a plum plum but try to get it back close to where we can get everything tied back together. How far is he off now? Yeah, it's like six. The worst part is almost 6 inches. Yeah. But
that area is small right that yeah yeah it's a it's a square the bar in the ballroom yeah it's a it's a third into the ballroom though and it's probably a quarter into the bar yeah or vice versa the chunk of wall that's chunk of wall that's leaning I want to say was 30 to 40 feet long yeah and not all of it that far you know it starts a little bit and fades out and then comes back yeah so we we've had some I haven't done one exactly like this of course they're all a little different but we've had some success doing some things like this in the past the that's in there is is generally
pretty forgiving it moved out so we're just bringing it back but we'll watch it close because if we're causing more damage than than doing good then we'll we'll quit and we'll just make sure everything is stable and but I think we can get it I don't like I said I don't know that we'll get it fully back to plumb but I think we get it closer to what it is and then and then they've just got some lumber to put in after that after that to strengthen that roof and get a ceiling back in and some insulation I had a question on insulation I
was going to try to connect with you ahead of time oh sure are they putting the same insulation that they took out back in no okay because it's all been sitting in the bar for the last two months oh really they haven't gotten rented no and I just kept thinking why would why are they going to no it should be new in it's it's all blow-in insulation as what we expect but it should be new okay and I will I will confirm that they know that okay it's a good question yes oh it's a great question I didn't realize it was sitting it's been sitting in like I don't know if you call bags down or I'll show
you a picture if you want to see it yeah so the whole center floor now is just insulation and so I was just wondering why they were keeping it my guess is they just haven't gotten to the clean up yet they'll probably bring in a dumpster or something all at once or dumpster went in yesterday so when they come back tomorrow I guess they'll start cleaning that up okay I will put it in nicely in these big bags and I thought well are they going to end up that nope we don't reuse any insulation. Most of that I'm sure has been wet at one
time or another and once it's wet it's pretty useless. But I figured that I just wanted to. A few mice yeah. So it's all new insulation. All new ceiling. Um. Maybe now. There it is with all the damage. That's fantastic. Yeah right. So it's it's the construction end that's going well. We'll have we'll have I don't I don't think it'll be me but one of one of my guys will be up here when they do try to draw that wall in so we can keep an eye on that for for every you know for you guys to make sure everything comes together well but yeah it's a good contractor we worked with them a bunch in
the past and it's just I honestly we thought it was steel that would be basically sitting on a shelf somewhere and and they initially ordered and it was 68 weeks out and it's been all of that now we've just had trouble getting steel over the last few years so luckily luckily we gave them plenty of time so we can still get comfortably done within the within the contract time and now we're able extensions I don't think something else blows up in our face which is not out of around possibilities but I think we're good on this
one. Seems to happen around here a little bit. Well, yeah. Don't think. Hey, you guys have had some interesting luck over the last. Yeah. Handful of years. Um because I'll be that guy. What if that wall doesn't move? Plan B if it yes we still want the steel rods in there because it'll keep it from going any further we're putting some additional timber up in there for the same reason to reinforce that roof we would take a closer look at the wall itself and and determine if it's stable where it is it's okay and if it's stable where
it is we just leave it alone there's a lot of stuff out there that leans there's an apartment building across from our office in Fergus Falls that they called it a panic because it was leaning one day and you can see where the time they sided they sided around the lean the window wells are adjusted it's been leaning for 100 years the solution is just to make sure that it doesn't lean further yeah at a minimum we'll stop it because there is a building to the north so yes yes yes yeah we don't want it to go any further at a at a bare minimum we'll get it stopped hopefully we get it
back closer to plumb and if we can't like I said we'll take a closer look at it and just make sure that it is stable and safe sure but I yeah Yeah, we don't want it falling into the building to the north. That's that's not good. Luckily, it doesn't have very far to go. Our building's pretty close. You beat me to it, yeah. Nothing, nothing catastrophic if it does but we prefer not to have buildings come down. So, Alex Sean likes being that guy. I also like being that guy. Sure. Even more so. Um tonight, we have a change order in the
amount of $85000. I'm sure you've seen that you guys have requested to get paid. Not a change order. Or not change just just a bill called a bill yes for the contractor yes have you been in there yourself not recently no okay and the reason I bring this up at the top of this bill it says the total percentage completed is 27. 9% I would argue that number should be 10% and I I will apologize for that I should
have corrected that number that number is misleading the vast majority of this this pay application is for materials I want double check yes no that's right yes because because that's been the trouble is we wanted to pay them something that they haven't done enough to justify paying the company sure so this pay this pay estimate I'm glad you guys have seen that I had copies just in case well the the the front says 279 but if you look through the other nine pages of the bill itself you can put the math together that it is material I just want to make sure that we were on the same
page that you were on absolutely because I have not seen 27. 9% no question no no no no no and I'm well so yes so what this what this application is asking to be paid for is the is the general requirements their bonds their insurance those kinds of things the demolition which they have done primarily other than apparently cleaning up the insulation yeah and then it's the only other thing while we're paying for some electrical and mechanic that went along with that demolition and then and then the materials and the materials is stuff that I mean you'll see in the in the app that we
included I make them include the invoices so we know it actually exists yeah no we appreciate that we don't pay anything that they didn't pay yeah no we always require that because we want to we don't want to pay em for work to have it done no I don't have a problem with the amount I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page and then I'm I'm hoping that they really do get done by the end of March here and and at your next meeting you're seeing a final estimate that will reduce that materials down to zero the percentage will go up to hundred yeah everybody's happy but we'll see where we see if we get there or not the the
fresh beams you know the beams that we were short and I say we were short only for the fact that we hadn't had the roof opened up because we didn't know anymore we needed. Yup. That price is in here. Are you foreseeing any other material cost that that I maybe missing with with the exception of maybe it's probably insulation once it gets done? Uh I I do not anticipate paying any additional material cost. Okay. Because of my get my my estimation is that by the time you guys meet again, you'll be paying for most of the
construction because it will be complete. Sure. The only reason we're paying for materials ahead of time is because they haven't been able to complete the work but they've expended the money to pay the by the materials. So, they want to get something to offset those cost and then, like I said, I'm hoping by next time that we're talking about a estimate that says 85 or 90% or even more complete and so that no we wouldn't pay. Um we did they did discover there's one more member that's broken that we'll have to add. Oh. I forget the total to add that it's 15 1600 bucks is all. Um it's in the
midst of some others and it I don't know if it has broken sense in or if it just got missed because it was in the midst of others but. Sure. That would be the one cost I'm aware of but nope, I don't anticipating for paying materials in the future that page will go away and we'll hopefully be paying for the work that completed. We did get paid for monthly insurance. It's paid right now. Um for the original amount and for the amended amount when we found the ten additional BMs, they paid us out total for that so. It And my thought on the the one additional is that we'll
kind of give them a couple of weeks. Let them get into it and then we'll do that and we can run that pasture insurance company again. She said she was open to whatever. We'll get some pictures and send it to the insurance company and that should be covered as well and then we can get that added. I just don't want to do it now in case something another one pops up for sure. My big concern is if we start to move that wall to see what happens. Yeah. Okay. Cuz that can sometimes expose some things. Anybody else have any other questions for Alex? Actually I do. Okay. See you at Wayne. Um This
eighty-five comes up to closer to a third of the total dollar amount. The sixty-one one thirty is the 2-seven nine Wayne. Yeah but they're asking for a check of 85, 000 right now. Mm hmm. And that's about a third of the 218thousand, isn't it? Materials right now. Yeah, I don't, I think my spread keeps off. Hmm? I think my spread sheets off. That twenty-seven
nine must not be calculating properly because you're right. Well, the 2-seven, the 279 is complete as off of the 218790 number. So that first number of the constructed today. Yeah. The sixty1 130. Yeah. That's twenty-seven point nine percent of that two hundred 18 7 hundred ninety dollars. The total amount that we got from the insurance company? Yes. After that is everything else that they're looking for. The materials of twenty-eight eight 43 and then less the 55%
retainage. I don't have a problem with paying for the materials where I have a problem is paying them for work that hasn't been done yet and giving them a door out if they choose it. That's why I brought it up. What what's to stop them if we give them 85thousand, what's to stop them from saying we can't finish it and walk away from it? I mean, they are under contract. Yeah. That would be.
Contracts are broken every day. But that's my biggest here. I don't have a problem with them with paying them the $28, 840 for the materials. I don't have a problem with that. Have a problem with paying for over or about half of the labor that they haven't done yet. Wayne, I think you and I are saying the same thing. I think the the 28 843 is for the materials. We're okay with that. Mm hmm. That 27. 9 is based off of the contract sum that the insurance
companies paid us. That's a mean that 27. 9% of the work has been completed? Mm hmm. You and I will both agree that there is not anywhere close to that. Right. So, would they be happy with twenty-eight thousand for now being able to figure they can finish the job in a month anyway? I mean I guessing they would take whatever they could get but they have done I mean they've taken the insulation out so they've done they've done the demolition work yeah they've
taken the I get what you're saying Wayne and some of it is the way that it's been bid and that they've got a a fairly large number I mean and the general requirements piece they've done as well because they've provided you with bonds they've had to pay for those they provided you with insurance they've had to they've continue to pay for that so some of it's not as it's not as clear because of those numbers that are are the the upfront numbers but we're
only talking 30 days they expect to be done in 30 days yeah but they have they It's not like they're waiting another three or four months. Nope, that's true. You can give em half, Wayne. Yeah, that's that's. You can give em half. They have done some work. I'd be alright with giving 40. You know but it it scares me to pay it what they think they have all done pay it all out and because they haven't been here
very often to do any work I can probably count on two hands after right well unfortunately there's not a lot of I I've been in contact with these guys on a fairly regular basis having that very discussion because they want to be up here working they want to get this thing knocked out they were hoping to be done you know a month ago I want to get a knockout too. But part of the problem is is they cannot they can't install a lot of the materials until that wall's back in place because everything's going to they talked about putting up ceiling grid but that too is all
going to would all compress and they wanted to put the timber in but we don't want them to do that until things are in the right place. So they've been a little stuck on this one. So I I can promise you it's not they have it's not the reason they haven't been up here is not because they they're trying to avoid the work or they don't want to be here. They've you know They've been reaching out to me with plans and we've just as we've doc talked them, most of them just aren't very viable. We don't have 1, 500 people driving by every day wondering what else is going on up there. What's up? And and like I said if those steel rods showed up today like they were
supposed to starting tomorrow you'll see you'll see real movement because they're going to get up here and they're going to get through it. They're not. You'd be great. I'd like to make a motion on this. That we pay half of what they're asking for now. Okay, I got a motion from Wayne to pay forty-two nine. 42. 37 roughly. If my aid of math is any good. Rounded up to
forty-three. Forty-2 seven thirty-seven. Okay, I got a motion from Wayne. Do I hear a second? Let's talk about. Okay, I got a motion from Scott N. Do we have some further discussion? My only problem is if we only pay him this amount and they say no, we're not coming back to do anything. Yeah, what happens then, Alex? I again, they're under contract. I mean, it comes down to that and that's really the
only leverage we've got. Um. Sure. Here. That's but that's typical of these projects. I mean, I I've I have in my career, I've not had a contractor walk away. Okay, let me add this just for peace of mind when you're talking with them tomorrow and you they're asking why they only have a check for half the amount of what they requested. Um I don't have a problem with calling a special session. If they come up here this week or next week and get let's say fifty percent of the work done and they want another check Asap instead of
waiting till our April meeting. Sure. I don't mind calling seven of these guys back. Mm hmm. So, we want to pay them. Right. But like Wayne and I are trying to say, we're just we're just not seeing 27. 9% work done and I Wayne just got on council so he's he's a little luckier than I am. I've been I've been hearing from community members for a year. Yeah. Right. Um we just want to see the dang place open and we know it's not their fault. Yup. We're not blaming them. Um we're not blaming you. We're not blaming the insurance
company. It's a collective of you just digs with it. It's a lot of people involved. Yup. Um that have slowed this process down and we just want to see the end sooner rather than later so. I just don't want to see the wave over. Yeah. So, I mean, if they get working on it and they need some money. Call Ashley, call myself. We'll. We'll get a we'll get a special session, we can do it 2 days up. Nope and we'll. The other thing I want to just mention on all of this is that I have come to them. I talked to Dan last week about giving us a bid for the walls in there because I have exhausted and been around
this area and they nobody wants a job and Dan said that they can get me a bid by the end of this week to while they're there to do all of the dry now that's covered by insurance but to do all the drywall along the hallways bathrooms and all of that too so I'm hoping to get a bid and continue to work with them just because I don't have a lot of options that people wouldn't call it at this point in time putting that out there as well I want to have a good really working relationship in
case that's like the case and all of this because that needs to be done too before we can open the facility for sure. We we've done a lot of work with Dan. He's always, he's hired us. We've hired him both directions and he's always great to work with. Um I know where he lives. He's just two blocks from my office. I can go get him bigger than I am so I don't think I want to fight him. I have to go Jocelyn around it. No, but yeah, you know, he either way he they won't they won't cause a fit. I I will just make a little bit of a plug that some of what it is is that some of the work
that's been done is work you don't see. It's it's the upfront like I said, the bonds cost, the insurance cost, that's all. Sure and that's some of what's here so it is a little deceptive and unfortunately we you know everybody like to be further along but yeah but I I don't foresee them having a problem and knowing that you're willing to yeah just have a special session we just need two days so okay alright three days excuse me so I got a motion from Wayne and a second from Scott Inn in the amount of $42, 737 table to ban Johnson Construction all in favor
alright alright all opposed motion passes okay I and get that too. Thank you. Awesome. Okay. Awesome. I'll let them know and then just let them know that's the deal and. Okay. Hopefully they're back here tomorrow anyway and. Yeah. And rolling along. Awesome. Thank you for your time. Yes, thank all of you. Thank you. Have a good evening. Have a good drive home. Okay, moving on to the mayor's report. Um we have a declaration of week of a young child, April 6th through April 12th. Um Ashley has been in contact with Karen the boss,
all the little learners and we're going to make a proclamation as it reads in your guys' pocket. So, hear me out on this. Whereas, the Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association of the Education of Young Children, the world's largest early childhood education. Whereas, the annual celebration of the week of a young child is happening April 5th through the 11th of 2025 and whereas, the week of the Young Child
celebrates early learning, young children, their teachers, and families and whereas, the purpose of the week of the Young Child is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the childhood programs and services that meet those needs. Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, John Hintz, mayor of the City of Ada, Minnesota, do hereby proclaim the week of April 5th through the 11th, 2025 as Week of the Young Child in the City of Ada and I do hereby urge the citizens of this community to recognize the merits of this cause by appreciating the early
childhood education programs we have in Ada recognizing those who provide for our children and spreading the word about the importance of high quality early learning and the critical role early childhood education educators play in their child's development and learning. Further, I urge all patriotic citizens to show support to all those that serve our community dated today, signed by me of course. Um again, Ashley and and Burke and I and Karen are working on doing some other fun activities that week so kind of stay tuned for that but I think
we kind of just want to hit on the point that it's great to have obviously not just little learners but all the other child providers throughout the city of Ada. We know that's a huge thing especially Northwest Minnesota as far as child care and the lack thereof. So, we're pretty lucky to have that in the City of Ada. We're lucky that she's opening the new infant center on West Main Street to A open another business and to occupy a building on Main Street. So, we have a lot to be thankful for and again, keep an eye on
Little Learners page along with the City of Ada's page. Um Index and Care JB to she's got some really fun stuff planned for that week so stay tuned so administrator clerk treasurers report couple of just department updates one first of all Hill Liquor Store we had a not a great month in February we had $295 higher profit than last year but obviously that's
not as high as we've been seeing so February was definitely a month that was down the only thing she contributes to is just like the lack of traffic coming in so if people weren't buying or or what was going on but so that was down she does have a lot more spring and summer flavors coming in and so maybe that'll spark a little bit of more traffic our police department one of the big things is the body cameras are now active they've had them on for a
couple of weeks and according to Steve they've come in handy already quite a few times they were on the of wanting to have these but they've come in handy and they're now wearing them at all times and then the other thing that our police department's working on right now is they are going to Barnesville they're going to be doing active shooter trainings so Alex and Steve will be going on behalf of school resource and get some training there and then one of the big things they're working on right now is parking in town they're giving
out more citations than normal there's been a lot of violations on parking and then they've cracked down on Blight again now that the snow is melted Um so, we've done some things in the trailer park. We've done some citations throughout town in the last week here on that. Um with the deco center, one of the big things that's happening other than all the really positive fun things to see all the activities going on there is the hot tub is being delivered next week. Uh next Tuesday, the hot tub will come and we will
be shutting down the pool for that day. Um Roscoe windows to come in in the morning they're going to have to remove that door the door that we're going to replace eventually here when waiting and they'll move the hot tub in take the old hot tub out it will not be installed yet they just decided to ship it it's coming from Canada and the tariffs are taking place and they wanted it shipped before that to save on that so Rihanna just got back from vacation and she's busy scrambling trying to get everything lined up so when
Roscoe windows come they will finish that door then when they're done and the remaining window that they have not finished. Um hot tub at this point is still sitting at the state. We have been approved for the size. Um so the six person hot tub that we originally wanted. The problem now is the location of it. If it's going to be in the middle or if it's going to be up against that back wall where the steam room is into the south corner there. Um at this
point in time that is still the decision that needs to be made. So what the state is saying is you need access of feet from each wall that there's an entry into the hot tub so right now the one's causing that issue is that back wall if you butt it up against the walls then technically those two walls will not be access points and you'll just have the front sides of it and then there's plenty of room we're worried a little bit about the demo cost because now you're demoing more
but with the demo of the old hot tub and demoing out all of that pipes and everything underneath majority of that area would be demoed out anyways the only thing that it will hinder is like the location of the water fountain would have to be moved and then that extra door that Brianna was originally going to put in to access the access the chemical room will now have to just continue to go through the men's locker room so we have not heard back on where we're
going to be allowed to locate it otherwise the deco center is going really well I mean like Pat says there's activity there's people there the equipment is still set to arrive here in a couple weeks. The old equipment's going to get moved and then actually Sean gave me a pamphlet of some auction and we are going to look at auctioning off that. Uh police department right now has three. They just seized another vehicle. So, we'll have four vehicles to auction come this spring and then Public Works is going to look through and see if there's any. So, we're going to probably try to do
something between all of our departments and do a lot of stuff too. Yeah. Like an online auction. Online auction, yeah. Yeah. Not not in person but so we're working on that. Um Any questions on the deco center in a hot tub? That's crazy that they think that's okay to shove that in a corner for like an emergency like her lifeguard you know being able to yeah that just so. That doesn't make sense to me. Yeah. It's not a
steal. Makes zero sense. Where else do you put it? No I know but just like tucking in a corner. So having two sides blocked completely for access is better than having five feet yeah whatever it's so I mean let's just talk about this hypothetically if we don't agree on this what are we going to do with this hot tub sign the contract that's I mean what are we going to do with this hot tub I'm more worried about that Brianna and I looked into this all day today because
she was stressing and I was stressing and the hot tub's coming literally the only thing you can do and this is crazy you're going to have to remove the sauna so to get the to get the access. The only way that we can get out of this contract. I mean. The only way we can get out of the contract is if we're told that you cannot have a hot tub. Oh well. Um and so Well, let's cross that I mean if it has to go up
against the wall like that, it will put it up against the wall and that's where it can go. And I suppose you can't move that So the other thing. That chair to the other side because there's not a walk around room. There's a bench over there that sticks out. You know what I mean? Yeah. In in theory it's not we're not I'm not so worried about the lifeguard because. Okay. Majority of the time it's people in there when like there's no lifeguard on duty. You have to be over the age of 16 to be in there. Anyways and majority of it is
water aerobics ladies, water walkers, lap swimmers, that type of stuff. You don't see as much during open swim. They're in the pool playing and that's where the lifeguards are are watching. Um you know the the thing that we were worried about is they were going to make us do a smaller size. That's not the case. There is an option of keeping it where it is at now but the other thing that we find crazy is that we would have to build the temporary walls on two sides to not have access points which would make no sense either.
It's the weirdest rules. I can't give an explanation as to why. I know that it's been a big stressor today for Brianna and we're still looking into it. She got the call at like eleven that the hot tub had chipped and since then, both her and I are trying to get in contact with aquatics and Dan, that's their main and he hasn't called us back and it's it's We're hoping I'll have hoping I'll have more answers for you guys by the end of the week.
Anything else on the Deco Center? Active related or Uh Event Center Bar Flooring. So, last time, last meeting, I spoke with you guys a little bit about the flooring. So, insurance is covering the hallways and then the bar in the main like gathering space but not the area behind the bar and when I'm in there and I I did take some videos if anybody would like to see em or if anybody would ever wants to go over there, I can show you. The tile behind the bar has been an
issue. Um well, basically, ever since it got one. Since since we took over the facility. Yes. Yes and unfortunately, it was done at that time. It it was put in when we took over the facility. Yeah. Um it was not done right and one of the big things that wasn't done right is the sub flooring is basically rotted and there's holes underneath it and when they the company that came in and put the flooring in took the tile right over it and because it wasn't level and
there was things falling through the floor you step on the tile and it just shattered and cracked and now I would say 70% of the tile is either cracked in half or completely shattered down for that. What? They'll probably shut us down for that. It's it's really bad and I know Amber has come a couple times and asked us about it and you know, until you go over there and really take a look and look under her mask, you don't understand how bad it is. It's bad and so so Dustin
gave me Dusty Crompton gave me an estimate on all the flooring. They sent it out to insurance. They're going to cover the main areas but behind the bar area just for his labor was six thousand five and $62 and what it is is it's $12 and 50 cents per square foot and there's 525 square feet behind there and the reason why it is so high is because he has to not only tear everything out but he has to build that subscription underneath. Now, when he's doing that, if you
guys approve it to get done. Um there's a lot of plumbing under there that's causing issues too. Um so, I would like to get once it's open, I'd like to get a plumber in there and take a look at some of the things. Um there's drainage issues. Um so I don't know what's going to entail until all that's pulled up. Now, I got the bid this morning or around like 11 o'clock today. The flooring that he suggested is this
kind of matte flooring and he suggested it. He's put it in a few different places already like kitchens or commercial kitchens things like that. I did send it off to the health department today to make sure it's approved. I want it in writing that they approved this flooring because obviously the health department comes in and checks things and I want to make sure but it comes in five by eight slabs it seals so there's no seams and then it's water resistant it's a little
bit flexible so if any of those beams are not perfectly straight it'll flex to it it's non slip and it wipes right off so these are the two colors you brought me I did talk with Amber a little bit I'll be think the dark color is the way to go if you guys want to approve this now the other option is to go back with that tile again there's a lot of with it and he will get me a price and it'll probably be a little bit cheaper than what it is here but you have the grout and all the other stuff that comes along with it and I
personally don't think we should do that I think the but for lifespan I'm Yeah. Longer than you and I, Scott. I didn't ask that question. I should have asked that question. I'm sorry. I can send that out. I can pass it around so you guys can find some. So, the the front is the the shiny side is the top and then underneath would be the bottom. And so the reason I kind of brought this fast is if for some reason this
company really is going to get done the end of March I'd like to get him in there and get going on this flooring as fast as possible so I'd like to get the material ordered because the faster he gets that flooring done the faster we can get the bar open yeah Just like you. That's the cost of materials and then six. Okay. Um he gave me this big with everything. So this is just kind of. Yeah this is just total 17 like 6562 is the square footage 1250 for 525
feet. Yeah so I mean and what's this top line? So that's the hallways and that's or sorry this is the hallways and that's the main bar but the rest of that's covered by insurance. I already approved it. So we just need that. Just that. From this. And this. Yup. Okay. So if you guys look in your pocket line letter B line three. The 6562 is for the labor. Mm hmm. The material bid was for the amount of two thousand seven hundred and forty-nine dollars and eighty-five cents. Again, two comma seven four nine dot eight five and just so
everybody's on the same page. This is just going behind. Just behind the bar. Yup. Okay. Yeah. Everything else. We still have. Whatever flooring. We still have to pick out the other flooring and not all will be covered by insurance. Um the other flooring unless we want to pay extra. They're basically going to replace similar to what was so. It's just vinyl plane floor and that's why. That's fine. For everywhere else. Yeah. It's just behind the bar has to be health code approved or health department approved and then it needs to be something that's going to withstand because
there's pop and beer and and things spilt. Um one of the other things we're going to do is actually move that island out and put it across the whole floor. We'll move the island back in. She'll need that counter space but right now, the tile goes around it. Sure. So, we're going to do that section too and it's a pretty big island. Right. But she is going to need that there because we're getting rid of the cabinets up top. Well, that's right. And we're not putting those back. Okay, so for the bar flooring only, I'll
need an approval for ninety-three eleven eighty-five. Again, nine comma three one one dot eight five that does all of the substructure and the top and the labor along with the material of the dark gray tile unless anybody has an objection. To the dark ray you mean yeah to the dark ray or to the approval I mean I'm okay with that the money that we get reimbursed from the insurance
company for being closed for X number of days cannot pay that I mean it's going to go that building anyways right and offset some of that yeah I mean it'll be in and out but you know yeah makes me feel better we're only getting back more than this like 15, 000, you know something I'm working with our forensic accountant and so I'm sending reports in their turn we haven't obviously since the building's not up yet we're
not finalized on that number so it depends on but yeah I mean yes I just think I should come from It's going to go to the entire building. Correct. I understand that but. Okay. So, I got a motion from Sean. Do I have a second? I got a second from Scott E. Any further discussion? All in favor. All opposed. Motion passes. Lighting. I don't even want to talk about the lighting. I I saw the bid. No. Um when
everything was opened up, there was a suggestion made about since the ceilings all out and the lights are hanging down in the plates. The suggestion was to possibly update those lightings to LED more efficient lightings. They are I don't want to say as old as the building but they're pretty old. Um this would be above and beyond the cost of what the contractors are doing to the ceiling but when it's all opened up, it's a lot easier to work with and so I did talk to eight electric and Perry Sorensen. Eight Electric said
they didn't want the job. Perry Sorensen came. Uh there's sixty lights to replace and he gave me a bit of ninetyfive hundred dollars. I didn't bring it here. It's not necessary. It's more cosmetic than anything. The lights work. Um I'm not worried about em. Can we update those lights per section? Mm hmm. A section at a time. Yeah. I guess we did at the dealership as they go out or something. So why don't we do plan up something like that for regular maintenance? Yeah. Once
we get back to once we get back to zero, I think that's a great idea alone. But I think we should hold off on it for that. Yeah, we can do that. It the only reason it was brought up because like I said, with the whole ceiling removed and the the all they would have to do is come in and plop in the new ones and then make it I didn't expect it to be 90. I get the idea. See, I don't even think that's that bad. You don't? We gotta draw a line some place and say. But yes, I like the one. Yeah. Yeah, that's enough. Get it done. Okay. That's a
want not Yeah. I would say it was a it was just an idea and I put it on here. We talked to Perry last Thursday. He got me the bid late Friday and. Yeah. Even if you wet with that, you're going to have to get our bid. Yeah. So, okay. Moving on to business. Uh Kaleidoscope guest Team West Central is not here. Uh team CHS is not here. You better watch. Um does anyone want to volunteer? I can do it since I missed. Yeah and I missed last Tuesday. That's all. Okay, so we got. Busy
morning. Scott E, Scott, E, and Sean on Kaleidoscope if you want to move team CHS to April. Norman County Raceway Advertising. I'll put it in my phone now. So, Jake Baker sent me this. I put it in your pockets. We've never done advertising there before. It's a little spendier than we normally do for like donations but obviously, I brought it to you guys as a council to talk about. If you did spend on
advertising, I would have to take it from multiple budgets to come up with that high of a number 'cuz I think the lowest is 2500. Um I see some I see 2750 yeah so yeah it would definitely be something you guys would need to discuss if you'd want to do it and I would have to take out probably we'd still be over budget most of our budgets are already allocated for advertising we could take if you wanted to do something like this we could take some of like out of donations right now we only have 1800 in there is you know
your guys' discussion on that we if I remember it correctly we donated something to that big race last year right to the Outlaws I think we did 500 you know what I mean is that out of the question like maybe if we're going to do this for next year maybe get it budgeted in Yeah, I think. If we can. This is more of an advertising than a donation. Okay, this is for the whole year. 500, you will, you wouldn't get the advertising. Right. This is. Yeah, this is an definitely
more of an advertising. So, it might be just a good PR thing just to show our support for the business they're bringing into the community. I don't know where you're going to find 2700 bucks. Yeah I don't I don't I don't disagree with that. Just well. Maybe it needs to be budgeted for next year. You know what I mean? Keep this in mind for those of you that know Jake if you went to him and said we have X amount you know can you work a package out? He would. Maybe not including everything. He would I mean we don't need 75
grandstand tickets because when Ashley be in charge of who her favorites are and we know who those are. Name me. I would never get one. Yeah that's what it is. So, I mean, I think if you guys, if you guys wanted to do this, Ashley and or I could talk to Jake and be like, here's what council approved as a budget. What can you give us? I can visit with Jake too. Or Wayne, yeah. I mean it's. Doesn't matter. Wayne, do you want to just maybe talk to him before April meeting and say,
hey, the council seems receptive of it but we don't have this kind of money. What can you give us for X, Y, and Z? I'll do that. Okay. Is everyone okay with that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Uh. You have a budget in mind then. Well, obviously not 2750 so. Okay. Well, it's not. I like are we talking like a grand or we talking 1500 or we talking. That'd be interesting to see what the options are at 500 to grand and fifteen hundred. Yeah. There. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. No, so don't talk to him. Okay. Wayne's got it. Okay, Northern States Power Capacity
Agreement. So, nothing's changed with our Wafa agreement except for six percent increase that they promoted to us last week. Um we don't really have any options to where the buyer energy from if we want to service our customers and have electric uptown but they did come and visit with us and make us known that it is increased. Uh I will say when we budgeted last year, if you guys remember seeing that with our electric
rates and us increasing them by five percent, we did have quite a big surplus. So, 6% be able to cover with our budget this year even with the larger transfer out with the 6% increase it'll be something we'll have to look at but yeah next year but this year will be fine because we we have had that big surplus in the past our surplus will go down we'll have as big as a surplus is this yearly remind me of that three is it there's a there's a few year contract right well what they gave us this year is is two year two year okay and
25 and 26 if okay second page is it say that it just says Twenty-six, yeah. Oh, okay. 25 and 26. Okay. Yes. Oh, I do see that and that. Yes. Okay. When is this effective? So, it affected in January. Oh. Nice. They just didn't. I know it's March, right? Yeah. So, I did not know our regional rep. I mean, he takes like this entire because of like Minnesota,
South Dakota, North Dakota. I mean, he takes like this whole section of the country over here and does it. So, he's visiting all the small towns individually to explain the increase the other thing that we don't have to worry about right now but there is a so in 10 years, the state of Minnesota wants us to be at 100% efficient energy so with
that being said he will be meeting with us in another year too to start working on plans of how Ada itself can become 100% efficient by 2030 five. Um with that, there's probably going to be a 32 to 45-thousand-dollar-year contract that we will be to move everything over to efficient energy with Wapa. He told me a couple years. Keep it
in mind that's under that's under the current administration. Things could change. Yes. We don't have anything today or think of anything today. But he didn't want to warn us that that is coming and it's something that will essentially have to start planning with them or you know whatever we decide to do. Do they have an idea of what percentage we are now? That's just a curious thing. No I don't I'd like to yeah forty ten. Yeah what would it be a number be wow so the increase is 6% increase is 6% I need a
motion a second then I I gotta say something so I need a motion to approve make that motion something that we've been paying since January right okay a motion from Sean a second from Wayne we haven't paid it because we paid but if it's been implemented but it was implemented what I actually if I can I would I would like to see what that's percent is going to do to our surplus. Yeah. Uh you can get bring bring it to us in April but what I'm getting at is if that 6% is going to eat up 100% or even close to any of that
surplus, then, you guys need to think about raising electricity rates. Yeah. In the meantime, because that surplus does get transferred as we know every year to other shortcomings that we have that we have. So, I mean, if it's going to eat up a lot of that, we need to talk about it. We need to consider it at this table. So, Um any other discussion on that? Okay and a motion from Sean, second from Wayne, all in favor. Aye. Aye. All opposed. Motion passes. Committee updates,
public works. We thought you we talked about the dumpster thing that's all we talked about and then this and this repair well it wasn't a repair as that it was just that well number four and numbersix were up for just their annual I shouldn't say annual five year inspection and then they found a bunch of stuff that needs to be repaired because everybody have that in their pocket I sent it out separately okay so well well
floor needs about $16, 451 worth of work because some of the stuff I don't know what it all is but like the pumps check valves basically everything that makes your well work let's put it that way Well six also needs some work little bit less. That one is $10, 991. Uh that one just it needs the
motor replaced not the pump like the other one and then some cables and casings and all the labor to go along with it. This labor also includes the work that they already did. Yeah. By taking the wells apart and inspecting them. I don't know a portion of it. From what I had written down. It does have the. That was a little bit of money already. Kinda thought I had like eleven thousand dollars it took to like do all these inspections but that's part of this bill. So that's
stuff that Brian knows and budgets for every so many years that each well has to be inspect and then and then looked at of course and then this is the kind of stuff they find two things of note Ashley has the money for this that's A not a problem B it needs to be done C I talked to Brian this afternoon our next well update isn't for two years from now yeah so we can we'll just start adding some of this into the budget knowing that one everything every time they tear
it apart they're going to find 10 to 20 grand so again we don't have to worry about it again this year or next year but the following year we can start a well wine item or so on and so forth but yes there's not be another well surprise in the near future unless it's a catastrophic failure so. Right and was it two of them that are fairly new? Two of them are brand new too. Like just two yeah right? So so I need a motion to for both well four and well six please. I'll make
that motion. Okay, I got a motion from Sean and a second from Scott E. Any questions about this guys? It's gotta be fixed, I guess. Okay, all in favor. Aye. All opposed. Motion passes. Uh public safety? We did not meet. Okay. Makes it easy. EDA, we got two resolutions in front of you guys. The EDA approved two new loans for two new businesses in
Ada both in the amount of $30, 000 again at council meetings we don't you know disclose any public information if you guys did have questions I would hope you would ask Ashley the committee has approved it I will start with resolution 2025 dash oh three dash oh one I need a motion to approve please make a motion reapproved okay I got a motion from Wayne second from Scott N by roll call vote Scott E. Aye. Scott. Aye. Shane
Sean. Aye. Wayne. Aye. Uh resolution twenty twenty-five dash oh three dash oh one passes. Um same thing with resolution twenty twenty-five dash oh three dash oh two in the amount of thirty 000 dollars. I need a motion. I'll make that motion. Emotion. Emotion from Sean and a second from Scott E. Um by roll call vote, Scott E. Hi. Scott N. Hi. Sean. Hi. Wayne. Hi. Resolution twenty twenty-five dash oh
three dash oh two passes. And then last long beautification. Um hi miss Casey but I'm on the committee I can tell you. Yeah go ahead Pat. Um we finally met. We had met for about a year or no thanks so we our big thing was talking about how to allocate our $10, 000 that we have in our budget and we just to continue with the cemetery of I want to say updating but the the straightening. Greystones getting them
straightened and whatever needs to be done so we can so we've got 10, 000 so we we're going to do 5000 if we can get the guys in there that usually do it. Mm hmm. And I can't think of what else if we made any decisions on how else we would spend the other money but just for your information I had a scout there that asked permission if it was okay for his Eagle Scout project to make the cement round things in the
ground like our for the veterans where he put the flag in okay so the veterans had the star set in the concrete oh and then the hole for the flag to go into is not the stands you know up like it used to be yeah okay so those are all done but now the women's auxiliary still has the the post with the star their star on top so he's proposing to make the concrete in the ground with the star in it and whole for the women's
that don't not women's it's the auxiliary because there are men in the auxiliary too sure so the auxiliary stars and flags would go the same as for the men so the whole cemetery is all in the ground in the ground any standing that get hit and mowed over and whatever. Yeah. So and that was fine the committee approved for him to go forward look into that. He has a lot of work to do to how many and you know where to get
new stars if we need new stars and all that kind of stuff but well let him know we got money available too Pat you know like we have in the past for Eagle Scout Projects and what not so yeah for sure so we'll have to see how that goes. He would be doing that this summer. Do you know how much he? No. It's gotta be a good number. Nobody it's it's going to be a mess. Okay. Nobody has a list. Ah. The only way that they know that there should be a flag there is if there's a holder. Yeah. So if the holder gets ruined and it goes you know
gets thrown somewhere with the lawnmower where it was it. Ah sure. Yeah. The only thing I know is like for scouts when we put out the flags every Memorial Day is we have a whole bunch of flags for the women and they all are used. Okay. I don't know if that be like 100 or. Okay. Whatever. But it curious. So it's it's it's a going to be a lot of research with the project to know where they're all supposed to be you know and then how does he for the stars they're expensive but
can we take can we cut them off those flag holder to stick you know in the ground and use the star from that and put that and then you're going to have to do that you know I mean it's it's going to be a lot of planning sure it's not just making cement circles and Okay. Awesome. That was all we talked about. Perfect. One other thing I want to add is that the mowing bits went out yesterday and it's over. So, the mowing bits went out yesterday. They're open for 2 weeks. Um we
do this every three years but you know, same locations and so those were listed and I believe we're going to put em on the Facebook pages. I think she put em in the paper but she put em in there yet.
