Deco Center, Brianna, if you want to come right up. I want to do two things or one
thing sorry before just generic. I want to just thank the public works and the police department for the last couple days of snow plowing and snow removal. Um both the police department was out ticketing cars, making sure things were moved and the public works department was out. Um many hours on Saturday into the night overtime on Thursday, Friday. So, I just want to put a shout out to them for that. So. One more thing, we only had one toe. She's going to ask. On Saturday after we. When can I get my card back? I know you
didn't walk up here. So, I hope again, I think that's a huge testament of getting the stuff out whether it's on the text club or the Facebook or the radio or whatever that. Yes. You know and the people just to be knowledgeable that hey we got a winter storm. We're going to be plowing. Please help our you know our all guys out in Public Works and again they did a phenomenal job so. Yeah. Um hopefully that's last time of the year. Hopefully. Oh jeez I hope so. Yeah. Right? So
finish. Alright. Hi, Wayne. Hi. Alright. So, we'll start out with I think the tile bid was the first thing on the agenda. Um we got the locker room doors installed last week. The two new stainless steel locker room doors. Danny Gary Construction and his crew got those all installed. They look great. When they were taking out the old doors. Um they removed them, removed the frames, and the wall in the men's locker
room was really wet and full of water. Um so, we did a little exploration and there are a few cracked tiles on the wall in the men's locker room so we took those off and about eight to 10 more fell off the wall. Um it's very saturated with moisture and it's the the wall that goes in between where you walk out to the pool area and the showers where there's no shower heads on it. So, there's no plumbing in that wall. It's just waters getting behind due to cracked tiles and and stuff.
Um the women's locker room after looking at that some more and a little closer. It was patched before I got there with silicone cracks where the handicap rails were installed. Um just they think that the possibility of just the building settling has cracked some of those tiles in the locker room after thirty, 35 plus years. Um so, we we need to do some fixing in the shower areas in the women's and the
men's and the men's is actually way better than the women the women's it is the whole shower area in the locker room so we are going to have to pull off the the the faucets from the mixing valves behind for the palming they're going to put the slutter waterproofing so like you know that orange waterproofing that they put into new showers now and then they will retile over the top of the tile throughout the
whole women's shower the men hour because we were able to pull off the access panels behind the women's and look and see and the Dura Rock cement board is good the studs were just looked at and they're still good because when we had to do the racquetball court wall in 2021 remember we had to go under the stairs and so that's where all of the women's plumbing is in in that wall that lets up to the racquetball courts and so we made sure that those studs were all okay in
Everything's good. That's why we can go over the top of the tile. In the men's locker room we're going to have to go up and it says four feet high. We're going to have to adjust this bit a little bit but Carl is still he's he got stuck out in Colorado at his daughters for Easter with the weather. So he could not redo this bit. It's going to be just a little bit higher because we're going to go up six feet with the waterproofing because that's above that small shower in the men's locker room. Sean we looked at that on Friday. And we just think that that's going to better protect in the
future to make sure that we can get that waterproofing above that small shower. So, this bed is going to increase by a little bit but we do have extra tile in the back room. So, it's going to be labor and it's going to be the Dura Rock. Did he give you any kind of idea? No, he didn't know because he didn't have any of his stuff with. So, no but we will, I mean, that it. Yeah. Just so you guys know, this is going to be it it'll be a little bit more but I don't think it's going to be an enormous amount more it's just going up two more feet in the men's. The women's is where most of the
most of the labor hand money is going for the tile because that is replacing all four walls in the locker room. I know you guys all read Ashley's Email that she sent out Brianna asked to send out but I think it's worth noting that she got $101, 000 left in the contingency. Correct. Now, that is all invoices to date except for Dani's locker room doors. Right. The the money is there and that's where the money is coming from I guess was my point of that so yeah do you know how much that was again the doors well the doors are
paid for but the the labor it was I think maybe around 7ish7000 I think is what the labor was going to be if I remember right I it's a little less than what we have now but I think right yes but otherwise I went through all of the other invoices and reconciled with city hall and stuff and this is the most current as of April 1st so. Okay. I see we have to do the demo on the men's locker room. Is that your guys are commercial? Those guys.
Don't worry the tile's going to fall right off the wall. It really honestly right now I have black plastic taped up so that there's still two showers that are on so that they still could be on and just so everybody knows this will take about seven8 business days they do not work on Friday so it's going to be about a week and a half that and the locker rooms will be shut down which means that the pool and hot tub will be shut down because you have to shower before you go in the pool and the hot tub so we are going to wait until after this
next round of swimming lessons he said he would be able to start in two weeks when they got the tile but it'll have to be three because we'll wait until we get this next round of swimming lessons down and do it before our summer swim so okay so your motion I'll make that motion okay well how much 19300 would you say it's going to cost more it we're probably going to have a little bit more into with labor so Make motion for 2fivethousand. Okay. Up to 25000. I'll second
it. There you go. Okay. I got a motion from Wayne, a second from Tom up to twenty-five 000 to MacArthur Tile. Uh any other questions about this project? Okay, all in favor. Let's do the waiting pool one next. Waiting pool? Yup. Okay. Please. Uh when the Department of Health was at our building, we had snow in the pool but we were able to show her a little bit of what our our drain system was. Um the state of
Minnesota is getting very very big on making sure that everything is up to date. Permits are pulled. You're not doing any work until everything is done. Our main drain cover does not meet the specifications from the the 2008 law. So, our main drain cover has to be larger is for the entrapment issues and so what they are requiring is that we have a 30 by 30 anti entrapment shield and also a
vacuous pump shut off on our pump because right now, we the way the state reads it is you have to have two main drains in order to be in order to be clear we only have one main drain so if someone were to ever sit on that main drain we have to make sure that that something else could stop the pumps from sucking out oh so in order for us to reopen the hot tub again we have to do this there's no waiting waiting pool
I mean the waiting pool I'm sorry waiting pool in order to redo the waiting open it up it is taking a while to get permits through the state I don't know if we will have it by the beginning of June but if we're going to do it we already have we already have horizon pools out of the cities working on this I mean I could go back to associate or to Fargo if you want me to but. Is that related? Is the fence back up?
Yep. Granted they cut it back last fall. No we did. Because we had to bring in the doors and everything that way. Okay. Yep. They'll probably have to bring in equipment for this anyways too won't they? Um I don't know actually. So it depends on I don't I don't think they will actually. Okay. Um and we think we came up a with a solution in order to fix where we had to cut off those posts to be able to get the hot tub and everything in. Um they've the guys found sleeves that can go over but the post have been dented and dinged by
being driven you know construction stuff so we're going to try to to do that instead of having to chip out cement or no cement put in a post so a motion to authorize 600056 14 cents to Horizon Commercial Pools to work okay and motion to Tom Clear yes so them from Scott and any further discussion? Again, this is all coming out of the contingency budget so the money is there. All in favor. Aye. Aye. Aye.
Motion passes. Okay. Brianna you're going to think about the third proposal as well yes there's about 36 light bulbs that are out in the library how many 36 light bulbs so most of the fixtures have four bulbs and most of the most of the lights have four bulbs in them so there's 36 bulbs that are out right now we've been converting over to LED when we
can throughout the bill and so we got a quote from Ada Electric to basically remove the existing lamps rewire and bypass the all the fixtures in the library they're like this they're the the two by 4 fixtures to LED and that is $4, 500 it's hard to read in that in that quote but 4500 is what it would cost to keep the fixtures that we have up there.
Um the fixtures if you've been in the building since we've put the new fixtures through the hallway that have the two bulbs that have the their LED and they're they're dimmable. You could change them so they're a cool white bright white. Um that would be $7, 000 to redo that. The total code is not 11, 500. One or the other. One or the other. Yup. Okay. Yup. Um to redo those lights or we can just keep the lights exist em
by the old light bulbs but then we're not. And they're becoming non existent too. They are. You can hardly get them anymore. No. Well, we've replaced what we can. So, there's 36 lights that are still out in the library. But we what we did is we took the bulbs out of the lights that we had already converted in the building. We put em into. So, the library isn't dark. It's just there's some that are out but we tried to strategically place them so there's no spa that are look.
You have. Dark in there. You haven't replaced any with LED yet. I don't think any in the library are LED, are they? I think we did a couple. And here's why I think there's a couple. What's going to be the difference if we do the seven grand you have mostly new all light fixtures and then you got five converted ones. That make sense? Yeah. You know what I mean? Keep it all the same is what I'm getting at. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever's in there. So is that a motion for option two to carry off shock? Um yeah I'm is that so you're saying that's
what's in all the other part of the building the new style like the $7, 000 1 that's just in the main hallway right now main hallway it's only in the main hallway by the desk in the median room we still have the the old fixtures in the racquetball courts we can't put the new ones in because you have to have that protective stuff layer and up in the ceiling in the racquetball court in the hallway is still the old fixtures so the only place we have they just they're
just they're just converted we've converted the garage because I we started doing that when I was over there was updating them so what's the benefit of going to the new style one I mean why why he just he gave us both because at the time when when she had Emailed and said that they had more lights out to look at it and address it I was putting the other lights in the hallway I said just let me know what it would cost to put these in there and let me know what it would cost just to revamp and put just the LED in like we have throughout the weight room and and those other rooms so
through good room lights are $10 a piece so that's probably a lot of that cost is the expensive bulbs yeah alright So the ones you would convert they don't have the dimmable then probably or what? No but I mean I shouldn't say dimmable. It's not dimmable but there's different color like there's a bright white. There's it's more for an office area. Sure. They have the different light when you were in my office last week Mike. So in in the offices at Kelly's we have I think we have
bright white in the offices but in the showroom it's cool white. It's cool white. It's a it's an office white. It's not as bright because it doesn't have to be yeah it's not dimmable but it's it's yeah I don't know how to yeah it's a different shade yeah you can actually change it no no yeah and you have to go up and see it you gotta go up and do it at the top yeah Paul does it when he installs it yeah you pick what you want yeah but I mean you could go up there tomorrow and yes do it off white if you want to yeah yeah if you change
the if you do it that way then you're going to have to continue to do the rest of them it's going to be very expensive over time and do all of them that way I think so too yeah and we don't have a a budget the library doesn't pay us anything we don't have a budget for that portion it just comes out so this would be out of your contingency budget or long term capital I would I if you've been putting the I think we just do the conversion so there's still LED yeah but the
fixture stays we're just replacing the LED basically they take out the ballast and they rewire it so that it's LED compliance. We've been we've been doing that. And they'll be brighter than what you got, right? 00%. Yeah. Yes. Because you can't do the old bulbs anyway. You can't film anywhere. I mean so I'll I'll make that motion to go with the option one with the forty-five hundred dollars to the Bob change out the lights. One second. Okay and a motion from Sean and a second from Jeff. Questions comments all in favor
motion passes perfect anything else and then we have an event going to be at the deco next Thursday night we have someone coming in and doing sound bath it it's like chimes and drums and so we will be closing down the walking track in the pool for an hour and a half to have this lady that's from Fertile come in and do it's like a meditation so it's going to be something different and unique and yeah kind of fun so
something different so when is that again or that'll be next Thursday night from six to 7 PM at the deco and I just got the flyer done this afternoon so we'll I'll be posting it out meditation way upcoming next Thursday in a few days or no the 16th April 16th yes so I'll be posting a bunch of information about that so yeah that's it thank you oh yeah moving on to second reading of ordinance four ninety.

question first have we submitted this to our attorney for his approval yeah this is the second time they've done this too they're they're taking out do we have something from our attorney saying what the ramifications are and what our dangers are I guess no I not have that. They just read through the contract. Cuz I don't know what the lease provides or what the and I don't know what the effect is if they did default in their payment of their notes. How does that affect us? Uh good question.
I'm assuming it doesn't really affect us at all so I'd like to have an attorney tell us that okay is there a time frame on this thing really or not even if they waited until next month or is it I don't know why not you guys can table anything you want I just don't know how big of a timeline there if they are actually I didn't see the timeline on there I didn't see a timeline on there either months and months I was going to say it's just started in twenty
I make a motion to table it until we okay opinion from our attorney as to the consequences to the city second okay and a motion from Tom the second from Scott N all in favor alright motion passes that is tabled good idea Tom next item of business is the Pine Prairie Drug and Violent Crime Task Force Agreement that's also in your guys' pocket that's the annual agreement that we have with all of the partnerships
you see in that agreement. Um Questions. Questions on it. Yeah. Public safety has reviewed it and raised to it. I'll make that motion. I'll second. Okay. Motion from Sean, second from Tom for their comments. All in favor. Motion passes. Uh Okay, we're booking here. Um. Yeah. Arvic Building Lease Agreement. So, right before our last meeting, a
representative from Arvic came to visit me to talk about our lease agreement we've had with them and I put it on hold because I didn't know what we're doing with our with being here. Um one of the big things is when he took over, he realized that we have not had a rate increase for our lease since two thousand eighteen. So, 2017 was the last time we got one. So, he wants us to get caught back up. Um so the big differences in this is instead of paying $700 a month, we're now at $950 a month. Um we do have a 90-day you can get out
of this lease at the end with 90 days. Um That was Tom's question. Yeah. Before the meeting the app. Yeah. So. It's it's it's it's a 90 days month to month. It's month to month but we can terminate within 90 days. They would like it. The big thing is they want us to start paying the $950 Asap pretty much. So, they're trying to get us cut up. It was supposed to be a 3% increase each year and it has not changed. True. Um the person that was in charge of managing all the buildings before did not update any contracts. So I
I need a moment except my table desk we can wait for a month yeah I'll make a motion. You can. I'll make a motion to enter into 950 a month. Okay. Okay. I got a motion Tom. I'm sorry. I'm second from Scott and all in favor. This did come before. So it wasn't like we made the decision to move out of here and then they came to us so. I would understood that. I yeah I I would argue that too but. Yeah. Okay. Uh moving on. Uh
committee updates, public works. Brian, do you want to talk about the mower bids or do you want the public work committee guys to talk about the mower bed either way. Okay. We have two two bits both from Intel. One from RDO and then one from Titan out there. Um kind of on a cycle you would say. Yeah. Um replacing mowers. 4 years. 4 years. Yep. And then the budget. That's good. We budgeted 17 grand for it. Um
the one mower at Titan is fifteen five and the mower at RDO is fourteen fivenine three eighty-one cents. So we made the motion to go with the John Deere from RDO. The cheaper one. Hi, Make sense. So the public works committee and the recommendation will deal with RDO. Correct. Under budget. Yeah it's 17000 yeah. Yeah we got we said 17000 budget if
that's I'd make a motion to approve that. Okay and motion Tom. Yeah. Second from Mike Scott E I'll have you abstain from this in favor. I I. Motion passes. And then underground wire bid. Border states. Yeah. I'm trying to find my notes. What's that? There we go. Um so we're just more more cable too.
I got it right. Yeah. Yeah. More cable to you know keep going with our underground. Um some of it will be for the new building too. Correct? Yep. Correct. So two different two different sizes I guess. Each 1 000 feet. One at seven or sorry. Three, six, six, nine, eighty-5 and the other one at five, eight, 7, three, and seven cents that makes a total of $9, 543 and 2 cents, which is also in the owner or in the
budget for the year yeah yeah also also by us at the at the I'll make that motion. Okay. All second. I got a motion from Sean. Second from Tom Oliver. Alright. Motion passes. Uh public safety. Anything else? Sorry. Sorry. Anything else from public works? No, we just talked. Other than the building obviously but that was it. Yeah, the wonderful thing that we didn't discuss at public works. We talked about the
trees that are in the alleyways and Brian's going to get some courts for what's going to cost to remove em. Um I don't know. Do we need the attorney to look at what our Eastman rights are? Um how far away and stuff you mean? Well, can we go in there and remove trees? Oh. Basically, I should. I'm assuming we can if we got an easement but I don't know if we have easements for all these alleyways. Well, some of these alleyways aren't alleyways either to cross there. Yeah.
Like your Sean. Well, I would say mine's better than some. Yeah. But I'm I'm talking passable road instead of easement grass. Yeah. Yeah. Common space. Um. Typically, we just trim around the tower line and not down below. Yeah. Domino Right because if we have to get in there during the storm we have trees it's going to take a lot longer to get in there so and we're going to probably have a survey done as to what alleyways need work yeah only list okay and
why don't you make a list and you figure out the use method yeah reconvenient mate yeah that's fine okay everyone's good with that okay public safety we talked about tasers and Steve's going to get back to us in the next meeting or next committee meeting and he talked about what's that county highway or the by the golf course thirty-five thirty-5 thirty-5 yeah just talk about the issues with the speed there
and trying to work with the engineer in the state to lower the speed limit signs speed limit out there doesn't sound like though at all yeah doesn't sound like it's I think about this before yeah but Steve City has brought up several times yeah gets nowhere but that's what the main discussion for any update on our speed signs speaking of that no I'll follow up with Steve on notice okay he's like we're waiting and waiting and waiting on them we got four new speed signs on
order they just haven't got here yet right no we were ordered there we go yeah longer than that well it's a it was a grant through the need. But it's been taking. If they're here but they're not the digital not the am I trying to say the solar heart to run it or I thought yeah I've talked to them about it before. Oh yeah. Uh. Something's missing. Ediated. We did not have a meeting. Yeah. We didn't meet. And beautification. You guys meet tomorrow. We didn't meet last month and meet tomorrow. Yeah. Because it fell in the
