of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. Thanks for being here, everybody. Uh we do have some changes to
the agenda. We will not have a park and wreck under number six. That meeting was cancelled. And we are not going to have a public hearing tonight. We're actually going to call for that public hearing to be in January.
And under 8 D and E, uh Mark is going to handle those and 9A will be Jacob and Susan's doing the consent agenda. We have any other changes?
>> If not, I would entertain a motion to approve the agenda as amended. I'll make uh just a point of order before we do that. Um for the public hearing, do we have to because we called for it tonight, do we have to do anything else to
call for it again in January or how does >> Yeah, we'll have to make a motion to to not hold it tonight, but to set it for January 6 at approximately 5:00 p.m. >> Okay. >> All right. I will make a motion then to approve the agenda as amended.
>> And I will second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. I. I. >> Anyone oppose, state no. The amended agenda is approved. Guests in open form. Is there anybody
here tonight to speak with councel? Nathan, Sawyer, Troy, Saul, you guys? >> Anything you want to say? >> I got nothing. >> You got nothing. >> We'll let you know if it comes. >> All right. We'll come back to you. actually.
>> Yeah. All right. Move on to number six. Committee reports, presentations, and awards. Uh personnel committee. I will do that. Uh we did meet
last week. I think whenever it was >> recently, >> trying it was recently. Very good, Rick. Um and all we discussed were the two contracts that are on um the agenda tonight under number eight. So really
there was nothing else. We're done with the paid leave. All those policies are done. It was just the two contracts. Any questions about that? Wonderful. EDA >> EDA met on December 8th. We had an open
seat that um Paige Creremmy was appointed to. She had previously held it for I don't know about the last year. >> Yep. But she was reappointed to that seat and we had a market update. 17 homes for sale right now in our zip code. So pretty pretty close to what
we've been seeing. That was about it. >> All right. Thank you, Robin. Uh fireboard. Rick Scott. >> Fireboard. We met last night, so kind of hard to not remember that one. Um we uh
we are in in the process of moving through with the uh separation agreement with uh Red Path. Um however, they are a little slow in getting back to us and kind of finalizing all that. So it's been drafted. It's been delivered and we're just kind of waiting for that. And so we're waiting for the new vendor HK
to take over. And um the plates are already spinning there. So they're already uh they're already starting with that. But we kind of need the official separation there. So plates are spinning on both sides there. Um we are going to be purchasing some uh turnout gear here
at the end of the year. Um that uh um so that's of course the fire department gear, the gear that they wear to calls. Uh rough runs roughly $5,000 a set. So it's not uh it's not exactly cheap. Um so we're going to be purchasing uh um four sets here at the end of the year.
um it was within the uh budget and um some of the gear where we're going to place we were told the um um so when you have extra gear you can just kind of store it upstairs in the loft kind of thing. So we got some people that are wearing that right now. So um still still you know it's not it's still there but it's it's not sized for them and
stuff and that's kind of um so we have the um we didn't have to replace other stuff here so we do have it within the budget and we are going to be doing that here at the end of the year. um the uh grass rig, which has been ongoing for a while. Um we did get some pricing on it. We're sitting at uh um between the
chassis and then the um the um the fire specific items that are put on there. Um the total come out so far to about 133,000. It was budgeted for 145. There is still a little bit more stuff that has to be put on it, but um so far uh so we to get a pricing update that that's
uh coming in good there. Then the iPod the iPads um which were going to be going into the um some of the trucks there uh those are still ongoing um and that as you recall is um you know we have firefighters using their personal phones and stuff for when they're going
on calls for GPS and that and that's um something they should be using uh uh fire department own equipment for. So, uh we final item we had was um the uh we went into close session at the end there for the uh chief's uh performance
review. Uh the chief is uh um making satisfactory uh it was a satisfactory review. Um we also worked on some uh share goals for uh the coming year. >> All right, questions for Rick. All right, thank you. And next we have
the doughnut drive through acknowledgement. Chief, come on up. >> Good evening, Mayor Quinger. And what's here for council? Uh, it's a little weird. Uh, I think I'm more intimidated just speaking to three of you than a whole bunch of people, but uh, I thought
it was prudent uh, to try to make an acknowledgement to Rodamacher Companies and Grant Roacher for a lot of their assistance that they've been providing the police department and some of our initiatives over the year. Um, I'll just read you the letter that I drafted to the council and uh, and go from there. but uh just states that as chief of
police, I take great pride in the city of Becker and incorporating community engagement events that can build relationships between our police department and the citizens of Becker. For the past four years, we at the Becker Police Department have hosted our annual doughnut drive-thru um for World Kindness Days, and it started as a a
onceover fun idea one year and has grown into probably our most uh best attended and most talked about event that we host every year. um our inaugural year, I reached out to Grant Rodomacher, um owner of Bill's Family Foods and Bill's Super Bread, see if they'd be willing to help us um source donuts, milk, and
juice for the event. And uh ultimately, uh that first year and every year since, uh Grant and his teams have not only sourced, but provided those items, uh at no cost to the police department for that event. Um and in turn, as they've
donated, I think over like 900 donuts over the past four years. um and milk and juice. So um just wanted to note that the Rodamachers have quickly established themselves in our community uh been a huge part of our community engagement events, supported many other local initiatives as well. And I wanted
to take the opportunity to publicly acknowledge uh Rodmaker Company's Grant Rodmacher and his team's uh for their continued support for the Becker Police Department um the Becker community engagement activities that we offer and uh contributing to making it better in Becker. So I just want to pass that
along. >> All right. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you to Grant and his and his staff and his businesses for doing that. We appreciate that. >> Okay, we're going to move on to number seven. The public hearing we're not
having tonight, but we would like to push that to January 6th at approximately 5:00 p.m. And that will deal with ordinance 299 second series for the 2026 fee schedule. So, I would entertain a motion to set that public
hearing for January 6th at approximately 5:00 p.m. >> I'll make that motion. >> I'll second. We have a motion by Robin. Second by Rick. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. >> I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. That motion carries.
All right, we're going to move on to board committee and consultant reports. Letter A, the Second Street and Sherburn Avenue safety improvements. Mr. Kenson has that. >> Thank you, Mayor and Councel. Uh, in
front of you tonight, we'll kind of follow the theme that the chief laid out with the Rotomacher companies. Uh, but with their improvements over at the Superet, um, they are impacting Second Street and Sherburn Avenue and First Street as well. So, as you know, uh what's existing out there right now
there the the block had about a 300 degree access with all of the open cuts and everything that you can just kind of drive all over the place. Uh when staff first started working with uh the Roachers on their construction improvements, um we started looking at ways we could kind of keep the traffic
on the on the streets and and keep the pedestrians in a safer position. Um with that, they weren't looking at doing as much curb replacement as what we would anticipate. The hard part is from our standpoint is there's a lot of curb out there right now, but it's open cut curb. Uh it still drains the water, which is
what our requirement is, but we're asking them to replace that with more of a high-rise or B16 curb, which gives gives us the the higher edge. It it provides drainage, but it also keeps the cars from jumping the curb and and doing that. So, uh as we kind of went back and forth, uh we socialized this and uh we
come up with our engineers what we thought would be a workable plan to see if we could make those improvements. Uh we we told uh Grant and his team that we would socialize it as we've done with with you folks to to look at maybe a cost share. Uh the reason being right now if you're walking uh on the the path
the sidewalk on Sherburn Avenue heading towards Second Street in the current Shell station. There's a crosswalk there, but it dumps you to an open parking lot and it kind of lets the kids go wherever they want to go. Um what we're doing with this proposal is uh requiring a sidewalk to be positioned on
the new Rotomacher property uh with a ped cut that would go across Sherburn Avenue to Bank Street. Uh we've worked with the county on that. They're supportive of us putting a crosswalk there as well. So now we can get that the pedestrians and bikes to move across Second Street into uh the boulevard of
of the new uh Bill Superett and then give them a crosswalk to safely cross Sherburn Avenue to gain access to Bank Street. Uh it will be the north side of Bank Street, but there's a crosswalk that would get them to the south side where where the bigger trail is and it runs you all the way down to Rolling Ridge. So uh in viewing this, we
reviewed this a couple of times at public works. I've tried to socialize it with all the council as well. uh we reached out to engineering uh we like their plan that they put in place. They've supported that. What I asked our engineers to do is we took the the uh construction unit pricing from our low
bid contractor for 2025 and we took th that unit pricing to say okay if our contractors did that work this year what would that cost configure? So that number was $64,000 I believe is what the uh the estimate was. Uh when I worked with Grant and his team, his
construction team, uh they come back and proposed a cost estimate for us at $47,000. $47,956. Uh I told them that we wouldn't uh entertain the traffic control that uh that would be on those folks to do that. Uh the nice thing with this, should you
guys u look to move it forward, it keeps all the contract with uh their contractor. We don't get involved with it. Uh we're not requiring them. Uh the county has proposals to improve that section of Sherburn Avenue in 2028. So we're not requiring them to do a ton of
work on Sherburn Avenue. It'll likely be a 1T cutout from the curb so they have room. They'll put the asphalt back in, but we'll do the full improvements when they do the 2028 street reconstruction out there as well. So tonight, staff is recommending that we move this thing forward. We do have money in our street
CIP to help cover this. With the work that they're doing over there and really cleaning up that whole block with all the work that's been done, I think it's going to be a great impact for the community. And we're going to really look to to set the precedent to say safety is paramount for us, not just the
the people on the on the sidewalks, the bikes, and also the the the public on transportation. I think it checks a lot of boxes. So we would recommend that we move approval to uh support the Rotomacher group and the source group with this construction and participate in this cost. Um with that I can stand
for any questions should you have them. >> Any questions for Phil? >> So what is the the 2028 piece? So is the curb work not going to be done until 2028 when they come through or this will be done now? >> What they're going to do they're going to contain their whole project. So their project will complete be complete.
They're going to do it as as soon as road restrictions are off. uh likely to start mobing usually that's in May sometime and we'll get the curb done, they'll get the parking lot done. Everything will be done I I would anticipate sometime by mid July uh to get this going and then we'll just patch that. They'll be required to patch
Sherburn Avenue. The Sherburn Avenue itself is uh going to get reconstructed from Park View to Highway 10. Uh the county's got that scheduled for 2028 and we'll work with them as well. Um, with that, we're going to look at this whole trail from basically Park View all the
way up to Second Street as well and what that impact will be. But as far as this block is concerned, basically as you look around between Beex Pub, Second Street, uh, Sherburn Avenue and First Street, that will all be taken care of in this coming construction season. If you approve this, uh, they will invoice
us once the work is complete. uh we will have our inspector like we would on any street project just take a peek at this stuff to make sure it's built to the standards that we would have on any of our projects as well. So >> awesome. Any other questions?
>> Just a note of thanks Phil for working with Grant and that that's going to be a really nice entrance to our community there and it's going to upgrade and I'm going to sit out there and watch people hit that curb because people are used to cutting to the cutting through there for
years. So, that's going to be kind of fun. >> All you oldtimes. >> Yep. Exactly. >> The opportunity presented itself and it's working out well. So, we appreciate the support that's coming through there and and again, we applaud them for the investment they've made in the community and we're just trying to jump on board to to kind of finish it off
appropriately. So, >> no, that's great. If there's no other questions, we would I would entertain a motion for resolution 2512, resolution authorizing cost sharing for the safety improvements at Second Street and Sherburn Avenue. >> I'll make the motion.
>> A second. >> Okay, we have a motion by Rick, second by Robin. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. And that motion carries. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Next up, Mr. Listen wants to talk about an HVAC upgrade. >> It's kind of the theme for us here this year. Lots of HVAC. >> Uh evening mayor and council. Tonight I have for you the an RCA and resolution 2599.
We're looking at our industrial RAZ building HVAC upgrade. Uh include a little picture in there just so you guys can see which building we're talking about on the campus. Um the in the industrial RAZ building is currently it's just heated right now and that unit is from 1994. Uh so we've got our our
our value out of that and we're looking to replace that before it fails. Um we're also looking in this building. So just to give you an idea what's in there. We have all the control electronic control equipment uh for our clarifiers. We have four RAZ pumps, two
diaphragm pumps, two non-pop pumps, and a blower for the uh industrial storage tank. So, there's a lot of equipment in there that makes heat. Um, and this building in the summertime takes in outside air and circulates it in the building. So, in the summer when it's 95 and humid out, that building gets really
warm. Um, so cold is bad for electronic stuff, but hot and wet is also bad. So, with this upgrade, uh, we asked the contractors that bid on it to, uh, provide heat andor cooling/dehumidification in there so we can address both sides of that building. I included the two quotes
we had STR and McDow. Uh those were in the packet there. STR was 36,200 and McDall was 36,670. Turn my page. Uh we did discuss this with uh the public works committee and they uh recommend it come to council for consideration. U the budgetary impact we
did budget for this in our CIP on the industrial side. So we had $42,000 budgeted in the industrial CIP for this project. And then tonight, what I'm looking for would be a motion and a second to approve resolution 2599 approving the industrial RAZ building
HVAC upgrade uh project by SCR for a price not to exceed 39820, which would be their bid price plus a 10% contingency. Um, and I with that I can stand for any questions. >> All right, any questions for Chris?
All right. If not, we would entertain a motion for resolution 2599 for the industrial RAZ building HVAC by SCR for a price not to exceed 39820. >> I'll make that motion. >> Second. Okay. Have a motion by Robin, second by Rick. Is there any further
discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. Motion carries. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. All right, moving on. Mr. Zwilling has the wastewater treatment plant admin
building. Another HV vacuum. >> Yeah, surprise, surprise. >> Two weeks in a row here, man. What's going on? >> Good evening, Mayor Council. Before you tonight, I have an RCA and resolution 2596 for your consideration. The HVAC unit on the wastewater sampling room is
original from n or excuse me, 2008. Service life is 15 years and at is outlived as service life. The decision has made to replace it to avoid costly repairs down the road. Staff received two quotes for the replacement and they
are in the packet. SCR bid came in at $46,900. McDow build bid came in at $79,317. This discussion this was discussed with the public works committee and the
committee approved for this to go on to council for your consideration. I am looking for a motion and a second approving resolution 2596 approving the quotation from STR for the sampling room HVAC unit replacement for
the quota price of 46,900 and the price not to exceed 51,590 uh quota price plus a 10% contingency. With that, I will stand for any questions.
>> All right, have some more HVAC. Any questions >> for what's the difference between the >> Yeah. Yeah, there was a big difference. Um really the McDonald bid was more of a it's a larger industrial size unit. Um SCR came in at something. It probably
fits us a little bit better and I think it's one of those cases that the smaller one that not only is more efficient and it's uh less expensive. So it's uh I trust the SCR's expertise. They've done a lot of work for us down there and they do they do a great job.
All right. Any other questions? >> We're getting close to having all the HVAC done down there. Getting close. >> We're close. >> Okay. Just curious. >> And then that's Yeah, I think we got them all. >> Nice. All right.
Well, if there's no further questions for Troy, we would entertain a motion to approve the quotation from SCR the quoted price of 469 and not to exceed 51590 for the sampling room HVAC unit
resolution 2596. >> I'll make that motion. >> A second. >> Have a motion by Rick, second by Robin. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. I. >> Anyone opposed state no. The motion carries. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Next up, we have the proposed labor agreement with our police union, and Mr. Evan Steiner is going to handle that. >> All right. Thank you, Mayor Councel. Um yeah, so I had the proposed labor agreement with the police union. Um so
the current labor agreement um does expire December 31st um of this year. Um Shannon Mortonson, Greg Larude, and myself met with uh David Ryberg and Tristan Melo, the rep representatives um and representatives from the law
enforcement labor services. Uh we had met on September 2nd and October 28th uh to negotiate the agreement. Uh both parties um initially were looking for an agreement longer than one year, but with the city um we're currently in the process of quoting out a compensation study for 2026.
Um, so with that, um, settled on a one-year agreement. Um, so there's not a lot of changes. So I'll just highlight the few items that we did, um, negotiate and modify. So the term, uh, is the one-year agreement. Um, had a housekeeping just with some reumbering in article 12 and eliminating some
language, uh, related to shift differential pay. Article 18 corrected language regarding uh, the holidays and holiday pay and the ability to carry over holiday hours. Article 19 updated to reflect current and past practice of not providing officers specific uniform
allowance but keeping uniforms as part of the department budget managed by the chief. Uh appendix A wage schedule um did land on a 3% wage increase uh similar to non-UN employees uh that's currently in the budget and also added
language clarifying how part-time officers move through the wage schedule. So prior part-time officers really didn't have a defined step. So now it's just kind of a um lesser hours, but it's kind of like a three-year period where then they'd be eligible for that that next step based on the number of hours
they work. Uh and the police union members have met and voted to approve um the agreement. So uh as the mayor had mentioned, personnel had the opportunity to uh review the agreement uh and recommended that bringing it uh forward. Financial impacts are included uh within
the 2026 um budget. So, I can stand for any questions or staff would look for a uh it's actually just a motion. So, a motion and a second uh would approve the labor agreement between the patrol officers and the city of Becker.
>> All right. Any questions for Mark on the police contract? >> All right. I would entertain a motion to approve the police contract. >> We'll make that motion. Second motion by Robin, second by Rick to approve the
proposed contract with the police officers. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. That motion carries. And we're up to public works union contract. All right. Thank you,
mayor, councel. Yeah. So, the the public works union contract. Um, this contract also expires December 31st. Uh we had met with uh two representatives uh or I guess two uh separate occasions. Uh we met with the uh union stewards as well
as um their representatives with the union. Um and we did have um some changes there. Um we did not receive a a redline contract with all the changes as we did with the police. Um but they did send the tenative agreement and all the details that are included in there as
well as um Greg did provide the full um summary uh if any questions. um do arise. So, uh some of the key changes with this contract um it is a three-year term uh agreement with a 3% uh increase each year. Uh but there is a reopener
following uh the salary study. So, depending on where those salary uh study numbers come in in 26, there's the option where the union could come and and and request a reopener. Um, as staff, we're com we feel comfortable based on some of the work we've done in
the front end that we feel our our wages are competitive and will fit well within the market. But the comp study will um determine that. Um, on call pay, weekly on call pay will continue to increase $10 per year of the contract. So in 25 that was $140. So that'll increase uh
$10 over the next three years. Um, and then it also added potential on call pay for public works. ated prior just been for water wastewater. Um but um staff will have or uh supervisors within um public works will have the option to
bring in uh up to two employees for on call um for some of their uh items specifically you know with snow plowing and things like that. Uh added safety language requested by the union uh updated contractual language to align with statute and rec in the recognition
union securities article. um edited existing sick leave language and added paid family medical uh leave uh section with terms consistent with the city policy. Um and then the union did wave the ESST statute provision as
it relates to being able to u be used for the inclement weather provision of law. So that gets in if you have a CDL, you know, you're we need you to show up to to plow the streets. Um so they did wave wave that uh updated language in article 9.1 to make it consistent with
all the other city employees and then added a language in article 9 to make consistent with um some of the other non-union as well. Um the one additional item I'll note that I think was initially uh overlooked in the tenative agreement um uh they did uh or we did
update the list of holidays. So, if you recall in the personnel policy for non-union, we did take away the half day for uh Good Friday and then added that to the half a day on Christmas Eve. So, the union contract will be consistent with the personnel policies. That was
one additional change that was not originally identified in the tenative agreement. Um, so with that, personnel did also review this uh agreement. and I recommended bringing it forward and the uh 26 budget um does include the 3%
increase uh for pay as noted in the agreement. Um so with that um this uh item would request uh city council approval uh of the tenative document as presented um conditioned on two items. Public works staff approving the
agreement. Um so they'll be meeting soon um to vote on the agreement and the provisions of the attendance agreement are incorporated into the contract and reviewed by staff and the city attorney. So once um all these are in we'll get the redline version and make sure that those align with um this tentative
agreement. With that I can answer any questions or we look for uh that motion. All right. Any questions from Mark on the public works proposed contract? If not, I would entertain a motion to approve that contract.
>> We'll make the motion. >> Second. >> We have a motion by Rick, second by Robin. Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. >> I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. >> That motion carries. >> Great. >> Thank you. All right, moving on to administrator
and staff reports. Mr. Sanders is going to talk us through a development agreement with Ryan Hubbert. Thank you, Mayor Council. So, a couple months ago, uh, Ryan Hubard purchased the remaining lots in the Avalon Estates development, the ones
that are not built yet, the twin home lots. And as part of that, he agreed to take on the remaining work to finish out the development um that had remaining on Birdie Lane. Most of it consists of the wear puminous, so raising irons,
associated work like that within the public streets. Um, this development agreement that is in the packet, uh, was prepped by the city attorney. Um, and it was reviewed by Mr. Hubard and his attorney as well. And you can actually see in there, they've actually signed their page, I think, uh, their signature
shown in there. Uh, the one thing to note on this agreement is um that the option Mr. Hubard has to include this in the 2026 street projects, he could do that. The city would complete the work. he would reimburse the city for that
work. Um or he can select his own contractor, do the work to the city specs um as noted in the RCA. Either way, the work will get completed uh to what the city wants it to do. So, and that would finish out the public improvement portions of that
development. So with that uh we would be seeking for a motion a second to adopt resolution 25110 which would approve the development agreement with Ryder and Hoverard um by simple majority. And with that I'll stand for any questions.
>> All right. Do we have any questions for Jacob on that? >> And we do there's a one permit pulled already, right? >> Yep. There's one permit and I think if I recall right today I heard that they have footings coming up too. So, yep. One permit for one unit or one building
which includes two units. >> Yep. >> So, yeah, we anticipate that will continue down the road with Mr. Hubard owning them. So, yeah, be nice to have that. >> Yep. Built out. All right. If we don't have any further questions for Jacob, I would entertain a
motion for resolution 25110 approving a development agreement with Ryan Huard. >> Make that motion. >> No second. >> Okay. We have a motion by Robin, second by Rick. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor, please state I. >> I. >> Anyone opposed, state no. The motion
carries. Thank you. >> Thank you. And Mr. Listen's back up for a public works fuel system replacement. Time to talk about gas. No. >> All right. >> Uh, so tonight I have for you. Uhhuh.
>> Gas man. >> Yeah. Right. I don't want to we'll not go down that same path as the gas man though. Um tonight I have for you an RCA and resolution 25113. So for the replacement of our public works fuel system. Um I did get three different uh quotes for
that replacement. Include those in the packets for your review. Um just to give you some background. So our current system the software is obsolete. We found out earlier in this year that the company that made it went out of business. So that was not a good not a good path to start down. And then our IT
manager also said, "And if the laptop that I have it on fails, we're we can't get any any information off anymore." So, um, when we were doing our budget planning in 2024, we weren't anticipating replacing the fuel system this year. Um, but these changes are are
needing us to to look at doing that. Um otherwise we'd have to do some modifications and just you know put a lock box with a switch and turn it on and off for for staff which can function but not we wouldn't get the information out of it so we know who's using what kind of fuel that kind of thing. So um
and then also the pedestal now has a little readout when you put your pin numbers and vehicle numbers in. That's now failing too. So it's kind of we're we're getting a double whammy there. Um so with those proposals that we have, I included in here what my recommendation would be. Um I would recommend the
Northland Petroleum Service uh proposal. It is a standalone system. So we would purchase the software. We purchased the pedestal. It's ours. Um the uh software that we have is a very uh well-known uh type of software. It's not the company's
not going out of business. So uh the supplier assured us of that. Um, the other two systems are more cloud-based systems. Uh, I like having what we have because if you're a cloud-based and they say, "Well, we need more money, so you got to pay a higher rate for your
monthly or annual fee." Um, I don't think that's necessary for what we have in the city. Um, so I think that the proposal from Northland is much better fit for what we are. We're a smaller fleet. We want to get basic information about fuel usage for our department so we can bill accordingly and give you
guys accurate information on what's being used, but we don't have a thousand vehicles in our fleet. We're not selling fuel to people. So, we don't need some of those extra things that come along with those systems. So, um for me, the standalone that we own is is what I would recommend.
Um to give you a little bit of background with the finance side, like I said, we did not plan for this in the CAP for 2025. Uh but when we started encountering these issues with it, we knew we had to move up the replacement of that. Uh so I got those quotes, worked with finance. We did have $10,000
budgeted in the administrative CIP for this replacement further down. Um so we're just looking to move up that replacement. And the idea with what we had budgeted originally was more if we did just purchase software, you know, it would be a upfront cost that's lower
that would probably come with an annual fee or a monthly fee. Um, so we're we're not going to do that version, but we are also needing to replace the pedestal. So it'll be a little bigger upfront cost now, but we won't have ongoing fees uh with the system that is being proposed.
Um, so kind of again given the condition of our system that we have, uh, we're looking to move ahead with this replacement tonight. Um, with that, I would be looking for a motion, a second to approve resolution 25113 that would approve the fuel system
replacement proposal from Northland Petroleum Service uh for a price not to exceed 18,100, which is their proposal cost plus 10% contingency. And with that, I will stand for any questions.
>> All right, questions for Chris on the fuel pump replacement. I think it's a good uh good idea to not go with a cloud system. I mean, that's if we had to >> read numbers from a remote system in Princeton or something, it'd be great because you could just do it from here.
It'd be a good thing, but we've had two major cloud out outages in the last 60 days. So, >> had that been on a day when we were do it, we wouldn't be able to use the pump. So, um >> if we if we didn't have any other option, you know, like no standalone at all, then I you're kind of forced to.
But we do have a I think a viable option that then we just buy once and it's ours. So run it through its life and then by then who knows maybe we'll have a thousand vehicles and we can change course. But we're this will put us in a good shape for quite a while. >> We just have to of course the not doing
cloud means we're have to back it up ourselves. We have to make sure we have sufficient >> Yep. We've talked with our IT manager about that stuff too. So Yep. >> Yep. >> All right. If there's no other questions, we would entertain a motion for resolution 25113
for the fuel system replacement from Northland Petroleum Service for a price not to exceed 18,100. >> Make a motion. >> Second. >> We have a motion by Rick, second by Robin. Is there any further discussion?

>> Are we going to commission's appointments with two? >> Well, I think we should just roll right into the exec session >> and then um just talk briefly and then adjourn it. >> Okay. >> Okay. We okay with that,
>> guys? We're going to just do our executive session. It's going to take honestly like two minutes and then we'll adjourn that and then I we can answer your questions if you have any if you're okay with that. So, we'll call the executive session to order at also 5:38.
Um just a couple notes. Um like to put off the solid waste discussion until January. Um, just quick background on that. At my last round table, a lot of people started talking about garbage collection. There's some new companies
coming in town and it seems like we're anywhere between 18 bucks a month to in excess of 40. We've identified, we think, at least five vendors currently using our streets, which means they're
garbage trucks and recycling trucks on our streets. Um, garbage trucks are actually exempt from any weight restrictions on our roads. So, if you think about a culde-sac, you know, a hot summer months, they might have 10 trucks
going down there in a week. Not that they're single-handedly destroying the roads, but they're not helping. Um, so when when Greg and I first talked about it, he looked into our ordinances and found out like if you would take a spectrum from organized collection to
the most minimal ordinance in the world, we have the most minimal ordinance in the world. So, not saying we should have organized collection or shouldn't, but we just thought it would be good to to have a
discussion about that in the future. So, um, Greg did provide some information in there. You can read about different ordinances. Um, again, I'm not advocating for anything, but, uh, Monaceel just signed a 10-year contract, and it it's roughly
about 18 bucks a month, and they have a 3% cap per year. Um, so there's I know there's people that are probably against it, but boy, since I've been talking to people about it. People are like, "We need to do something cuz right
now we're not even necessarily licensing all the haulers and things like that." So, just a future topic. And Greg actually knows a not actually that sounded bad, but Greg has a lot of experience. So, >> it'd be best to have him here to talk
through that. Yeah, I'm paying $92 every two months. So, >> yeah. >> Yeah, maybe a hair out of the >> Yeah. >> So, more on that. We'll we'll push that to the next one. Um commissions and appointments. We obviously don't want to
do that being short to people. Um I just wanted to throw it out. I've always been a fan of doing some rotation and especially as mayor, it's nice to learn about different operations in the city. So, um I would at least like to have
that discussion this year if if we want to do some rotating and um I don't know what people's thoughts are about it, but but that's something we could discuss in January, probably at the first meeting because we'll need to
know who's on what before the meetings get kicked off. But >> it's just when I was on council last time, we did rotate a fair amount and I thought it was >> Yeah. I don't think I've rotated at all. >> Yeah. >> The entire time I've been on council >> been hit and miss. I know we did a lot
probably in the I can say in the lefty years we rotated almost constantly and yeah even I'd say even the early Tracy years we kind of but then yeah we really haven't uh well we did some last year I guess. Uh Becky rotated off fireboard.
>> We just did one. Yeah. Everything else stayed the same. >> Trade for fireboard I think was what we did. Yep. But maybe if people have ideas, you can email Greg and he can kind of, you know,
just see if people are interested in what they want to do. Are you okay with that? All right. Anything for the round table? >> No. Um I'll be meeting with uh so Coalition
Utility Cities um they're doing they're calling it like a subgroup but it's almost it's almost turned into um almost the whole group um meeting. So they asked for one uh one of the people who regularly attend from each city. So it's
not because we usually are heavily attended there. Um I think that was kind of where they they wanted only one person. But um so it's like a subgroup to go when we passed that uh um it was about a month month and a half ago we talked about the nuclear discussion but we talked about kind of the energy that
so they want to basically start talking through some of that stuff and then bring it back to the bigger group in uh probably in January. But um so that'll be this Friday at 10 a.m. So just a heads up that. >> Good on that.
>> Awesome. Uh, I got an email back from the postal guy today. He was out of the office, but he still hasn't heard anything from his supervisor. So, sure the rain today will help everything freeze back up and
>> that'll be another fun thing. So, if you see a bonfire, it's just me throwing them out. I've had it. >> Okay, good to know. Little back heating, huh? All right. Anything else from anybody
for round table? If not, I just want to extend a thank you to staff for an awesome 2025, especially my first year as mayor. Learned a lot and appreciate uh the opportunity to work with all of you. And actually next week I have meetings set
up with several department heads just to kind of get a little review on myself for the first year of of how it went and what myself or council can be doing to help them out. Um
and it's about all I have to >> Wow. It's been a year already. >> Yeah, it's been a year already. >> Crazy. >> It is. All right. Well, if there's nothing else, we will adjourn the executive session at 5:45. All righty.
>> Thanks, everybody. You knowing this are you on the >> Why are you here?
