7:00 p.m. Brainerd Council Chambers. We --------- have three items on our agenda. Uh the first of which is a joint powers agreement Crow Wing County uh records management system. And presenting this is Chief Rundy. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair, council or
committee members. Um the Brainerd Police Department along with the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office and other participating law enforcement agencies have spent the last uh several years evaluating and selecting a replacement for our countywide records management
system and computer-aided dispatcher CAD system that's currently used by all 10 law enforcement agencies in Crow Wing County. Uh the existing system has been in service since 2007. Uh and it's nearing its end of life. And after reviewing several vendors, 365
Labs, which is a cloud-based uh records management system, was selected. 365 Labs provides real-time access to records, uh improves reliability, works uh better with state federal systems, and supports the future technology uh
needs of uh all participating law enforcement agencies. The system is expected to be operational by December 1st, 2026. And uh authorization of the appropriate signatures is requested to allow the city to execute the joint powers
agreement with Crow Wing County, enabling continued participation of the countywide countywide records management system implementation. And the uh staff recommendation is uh a motion to authorize the appropriate signatures on the joint powers agreement
with Crow Wing County for uh the records management system. I can answer any questions. >> All right. Thank you very much. Committee questions, comments? Um I thought Yager had a Did you have a hand up? >> Yeah. Go Yeah, real quickly. The uh the software that
we have now, what are we paying for that right now? Is it the I'm guessing what driving at is the 53 grand, the delta between the two, or is that um are are we eliminating software that will thus have some version of a savings?
>> The uh current system, which I had mentioned is it's about it's almost 20 years old. Uh that the uh it was currently paying around 17,000 a year for that annually. Um but again, uh the you know, that that's based on um
costs from 10 15 years ago that we've entered into agreements and s- record systems now that are um available are uh uh Yeah, way more expensive than this. >> Yeah, understood. I was just trying to make sure that I understand that the 53 was not the delta.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah, got it. Thank you. >> And then uh Councilman Jezek. >> Uh yeah, Chief, I just to remind me, is this a new uh uh joint powers or is it a a continuance or re- what is it called? >> Sorry to interrupt. Yeah, this will be a
new uh joint [clears throat] powers agreement with uh Corwin County. >> So, currently we don't have anything like this. >> Not for this system. >> Okay. Thank you. That's That's I just wanted to clarify. Appreciate it. >> And then I had a question, too. Um I know this came up when you both were able to brief me on the meeting, but is
this I know the county there's been a lot of community conversation with the Flock cameras. Is this This is a records management. This is separate from that, or is there integration between that? I guess can you touch on that a little bit? Cuz this is not the Flock system. This is completely separate records management,
as I understand. >> That's correct. Yeah, there's uh there's no affiliation with the Flock camera system or any um advan- uh automated license plate reader system um with with uh 365 Labs. >> All right. Thank you. Um
Administrator Broyles. >> Just a note, staff is not pursuing anything to do with the Flock system unless we're directed to by the council. >> Thank you. >> Mr. Chair, further comments or questions? >> Councilman Chesak. >> I'd move to approve this joint powers
agreement that the chief is asking for. >> Second. >> All right, thank you. Motion and a and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, those in favor signify by saying aye. >> Aye. >> Aye. >> Opposed, same sign. The motion carries. Thank you.
All right, this brings us to our second item. This is change order number one for improvement 2506 2026 resurfacing project. And public works director Sandy. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair, members of the committee. So, this change order is there's two items that were changed in
our uh improvement 2506, which was our 2026 resurfacing project. Uh just a brief kind of project overview. This was the resurfacing that took place on Graden Avenue, Hillcrest Drive, South 11th Street,
um Delmar Drive, which is a portion of this change order was some work that happened on Delmar Drive. And then Spruce Drive is the other street that this work took place on. So, the first item that's addressed in the change order is when we were in excavation activities for the new
upsized storm sewer on Spruce Drive. Um there was a 6-in fire suppression line that crossed underneath the existing storm sewer. Um the two utilities were literally on top of each other. So, they were literally, if you can imagine, a storm sewer
basically sitting on top of the 6-in fire suppression line that crossed perpendicularly to the storm sewer. Um so, when we excavated the storm sewer and we were looking at alternatives for additional protection to that fire suppression line under the storm sewer,
we found that installing a 2-in insulation board between the storm sewer and the water suppression line was the most prudent fix. We didn't know that there was any existing or past freezing issues with that fire suppression line, but at the
time when we had the excavation open, just to try to prevent any future potential freezing that could happen, and to try to reduce any vibratory um conflicts between the two utilities being so close to each other, um we thought it was prudent to install
that piece of insulation between those two. Um we wouldn't usually bring something like this as a change order to the council given the small dollar amount it was, but because there was no existing bid item um in our um plans, uh we added this to the overall change
order. That total cost for that insulation was $175.25. The second part of the change order was um on Delmar Drive. Um if um the committee has seen Delmar Drive, it's a rural section roadway. Um there's a lot of driveways on the
roadway, and the road had a lot of um variable uh variation in the existing width of the roadway. When we designed the project, we um created a standard typical section um for width on the roadway, which ended up some spots on the road where the road was narrower
than what was existing, and some spots the road was wider than what was existing. When we got into construction, we paved the street um in some of those areas that the roadway was narrower than the existing roadway, we ran into a vertical drop-off from the edge of the pavement
um adjacent to people's yards. And so what um we directed the contractor to do was provide topsoil shouldering um for a a large distance on the roadway, and then provide hydroseed mixture on that um to tie the in-slope of the ditch in with the edge of the
bituminous pavement. Um that work was performed the topsoil work was performed by Knife River, and the turf restoration work was performed by the seeding contractor Doucet Landscaping. Um Knife River did um have an additional mobilization charge to bring their shouldering machine to place the
topsoil. Um that's all indicated in the change order. Um that total cost for that additional turf establishment and the shouldering that took place was $19,000. Um and that's denoted in the change order document. Um at this time staff is
recommending that we approve change order one for improvement 2506 in the total change order amount of 19,000 $175.170.25. Those would be split. Um in so all the payment is made from the construction fund, but the $170.25
would be attributed to the water fund. Um given that it was to protect the underlying water distribution system. The other 19,000 would be attributed to the construction fund for the street resurfacing project. >> All right. Thanks, Paul. Uh Councilman Chezick.
>> Um how do you apply the dollar mark to the other one where you're gotten two different projects, right? Same contractor or >> It's the same project, yeah. They were >> oh right. That's okay. And then on the water and the sanitary sewer line. Um can I assume the sewer line was in after
the water line or cuz it's on top or >> Yeah, I mean my guess is when that road was originally constructed or or at some point um when American National Bank got constructed, they ran um their 6-in fire suppression line under the storm sewer. Um it's just they
were very very close to the storm. We wanted to try to protect it as much as possible. >> And there's no way we can tell which was first and do for sure. >> It's hard to say, you know, without um we could go back to the as-built plans and look, but um it would seem to be they would probably put it in at the same time. >> And my next question was going to be when you looked at that project, you
didn't see that line the I know you knew the sanitary sewer line was there. >> The storm sewer line correct. >> I'm sorry. Sorry. Storm sewer, but not the sewer water service or fire suppression. >> Yeah, so the fire suppression line was shown in the plans, but with a lot of our projects,
when we're talking with water main, you know, sanitary sewer is one thing where we have really detailed as-built plans because of sanitary sewer is draining by gravity, and so all the manholes have depths. A lot of times when they put water main in, the only thing that's showing on
plans is the average buried depth, which is a minimum usually of 7 1/2 to 8 ft. And so, that pipe might go up and down as the profile of the roadway goes up and down. There's not a real great as-builts for water main plans when it comes to buried depth. >> Thank you. That's all I got, Mr.
Chairman. >> Thank you. Paul, Delmar, so the the narrow roadway was essentially widened, and then that shouldering, did any of the shouldering encroach onto private property or all in our right-of-way? How was that handled? >> Yeah, so the existing right-of-way on Delmar, I
think it's like 66 ft. And so, there's sufficient room. A lot of the ditch area is within the city right-of-way. >> Okay. Great. Thank you. >> Uh thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a couple quick questions. Can you just help me understand the mobilization? So, mobilization to me means
um getting equipment there, getting the work site trailer there, getting the Wi-Fi set up, all that kind of thing. Would it were they not already there and had to come back? Or help me just help me to understand the mobilization aspect and and also the mobilization's pretty high. It's like almost 10% of this project.
Just can you just walk me through why what the mobilization means in this case? >> Yeah, so really the scope of work for Nifers River's project was a simple resurfacing. There was no shouldering planned on any of the other work. Everything else was tied in with curbing gutters, so there was no kind of behind
the curb work except in a few spots where it was placed the top soil was placed with a skid steer. >> Got it. >> On this type of shouldering work, they'll mobilize an actual shouldering unit that you have a end dump back into a unit. It dumps material in and then it actually shoulders the roadway with a little push.
>> Got it. Makes total sense. Understood on that one. Second question is So, when I hear unit pricing, to me unit pricing means this this much per square foot. But, there's this one line item in here for 17.5. How To me, that's not a That's that's a
That's a bulk price, not a unit price. Do Can you just walk Do we have any breakdown Do we typically request unit pricing on replanting or veg you know topsoil or anything like that? No, ahead of the time before the scope of work. >> Yeah, so um it's actually something that
we're talking about right now changing in our >> Okay. Enough said. That's all I need. Thank you. >> Yeah. So, all of our turf establishment historically has been a lump sum bid item and that's a performance specification. So, the contractor is on the hook to get 70% perennial growth.
When it comes to at the end of projects, there's always this push and pull with the restoration contractor to figure out how they get paid to come back and do repair work um if there's >> Washouts, that kind of thing. >> Washouts, that kind of thing. Um so, we're looking at getting away from the
performance spec and going to you get paid for your seed, you get paid for your fertilizer, you get paid for your topsoil, you get paid for water. That way, when we do have a need for the contractor to come back and do repair work, we have specific unit prices for all that. >> Actual unit prices. Yeah, understood.
Thank you. That's all. >> All right. Thank you. Further comments or questions, otherwise we'll be looking for a motion on this item. >> I move to approve, Mr. Chairman. >> I'll second, Mr. Chair. >> All right. Thank you. Motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, those in favor say I.
>> I. >> I. >> I. >> Motion carries and that brings us to our last item. This is going to be number three. Proposal professional engineering design services for Brainerd Gully repair project. And again, Public Works Director Sandy. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair, members of the
committee. This item came before the city council back in June with a recommendation for staff to come back with a proposal from HR Green to perform the design work related to some downstream erosion from the
gully remediation project that was done here a few years ago. So, we've been in discussions with both HR Green and the Soil and Water Conservation District about this repair project. Again, kind of recapping where we left off.
The scope of the gully remediation project was basically to the end of this what I call a plunge pool, which is an energy dissipation riprap outlet. What we've seen here since the project was completed is additional erosion that's
occurring past this plunge pool area. Soil and Water approached the city and um back when Jesse Dean was still here and asked if the city would be willing to take a look at this remaining this stabilization project from that
plunge pool down to Little Buffalo Creek and utilize some of the remaining funds that are out there from the original 975,000 that was allocated from the Clean Water Fund for this project. Um Staff went to HR Green,
went over the scope of work with them, what we would anticipate to get as a deliverable. They returned to us with a proposal for services, which includes taking the original model results from that storm sewer, including the velocity, volume results, and designing
a remediation solution past the plunge pool, and preparing a three to four-page plan set that would outline the scope of work that we could either perform in-house with our own forces if we felt it is
if our forces are able to do so, or go out into the open market and get a erosion control contractor to perform this work. Um HR Green's uh scope of work for this project um is a fee not to exceed uh $10,000. Um in more conversations with Soil and
Water Conservation District, we had um originally indicated that there was some potential for some engineering funds that would be available that uh SWCD earmarks for work like this. Um we do uh have approval from the sole SWCD board uh to earmark $10,000 of
their funds to cover the engineering expenses for this project. And then further, once the design gets done, um we would bring that uh estimated cost back to the city council and then have a recommendation on whether we're going to hold this work in house or if we're
planning on going out for quotes um to get the work completed. Uh there's about $25,000 remaining in that grant we have available from SWCD that will be used for construction purposes. And there's also um there's an additional 11,000 in um in-kind
contributions, and that can either be staff time, labor, uh purchase of materials, um pursuant to the original agreement the city had with SWCD that um we'll try to fulfill um with this remaining work. And so, staff is
recommending that we approve the proposal uh from HR Green in the amount of $10,000, uh the use of those Soil and Water Conservation District engineering funds, and then um a recommendation to come back to council um at the time the design is completed with a
recommendation on in-house or uh contractor provided work. >> Great. Thanks, Paul. Comments? Questions? Councilman Yeager had a hand. >> Yeah, thank you. Uh Paul, quick question. Uh the uh >> [clears throat] >> they're asking for updated topo. Is that
something we're going to self-perform, or do we need out-house that? >> No, we'll we'll do that in-house. That was that can go towards our in-kind contribution. So, we'll go down there and >> Is it a lot? >> No, it's not a lot. Um, it's probably a couple hundred feet um of cross sections that we have to do um down there at the end.
>> Okay. And the uh will will these people be will we be asking them to attend any of our meetings? Will they have any need to attend any of our meetings? Okay, thank you. That's all. >> All right, thank you. Councilman Chezick. >> Um, so Paul, based on where we're at with everything going on, scheduling,
everything, do you foresee this being um if if Green comes back with a um a scope of whatever that could be done in house, would this would you would would you recommend this be tried to accomplish it this year? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> We're hoping to turn the design around
in 2 to 3 weeks. Um, we want to get out there during the dry time in the season while there's not water running through that pipe um and get the restoration work done uh in the fall so we have adequate growing time before next spring. >> And then it and then you won't know the well, you got some idea what the scope
would be at this time? >> Yeah, so um when we looked it over with HR Green, um there's kind of a uh I'll call it a a toe cut that the the stream kind of finds the path of least resistance, right? Um, and it's kind of eroded the outside uh bank. So, they're thinking
like a riprap um bank protection um and some energy dissipation um I'll call them rock checks or things um and then probably a lined uh ditch bottom um with some erosion control blanket and some native plantings to
help keep the soil in place. >> Okay. That's all I got, Mr. Chairman. >> All right. Hearing nothing else, then be looking for a motion on the item. >> I would move to approve the uh recommendation of staff. >> Second. >> All right. Um, hearing no discussion, I
guess I just wanted to say congratulations to staff. I think this is just such a cool project. Little Buffalo Creek defines so much of South Brainerd, and then you think largely you know we're not the headwaters but we're the scope of the Mississippi we're basically the headwaters and with Little Buffalo Creek
being the you know a tributary to the Mississippi it's a really cool project so Um but yeah with that all in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Those opposed same sign and motion carries. And that brings us to the end of our agenda and we are adjourned.
>> I told Nick we'd be done by Part: 2
It's Monday, July 20th, 2026, 7:30 p.m. in council chambers. >> Tony, please call the role. >> Johnson, >> here. >> Stunn. >> Jagger, >> yes. >> Erikson, >> yes. >> Beans, >> here. >> Chzac, >> yes. >> OD, >> here. >> Bed, >> here. >> Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> 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. Amen. Next up, we have approval of the agenda. Mr. President, like to approve the
agenda with one addition under new business, and it would be something called uh appointments and oath of office. And I'd be looking for a question to ask the city attorney regarding that. And if you want me to, I got two items to pull from consent. I can do that now or wait. >> You can do that now.
>> Okay. I got item uh two I believe is a minutes and then the transit I believe it's item K to move under uh before presentations. >> I'll second that. >> All right, we have we'll add that to 10E for your new business item. And could you tell me what that was again?
>> That would be appointments and uh oath of office to those appointments for the different boards and commissions. >> Okay. >> I I would like to point out, Mr. President, Jeff, the city attorney isn't here tonight. Um,
>> I think I can ask. I think we can probably come up with a thought. It's I don't think it's anything hard legal. We can Okay. What the council thinks? >> We can have a discussion on either way. >> It won't be long, I don't think. So, >> okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. With those additions, we have
a motion and a second. Any discussion on those motions? >> Can you remind me the other two that you pulled? the it the minutes and then K uh transit bus uh disposal. So B and K. >> Yep. >> All right. >> Those aren't consent. So
>> Yep. All right. Perfect. Any more discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. >> Again, same sign. >> That motion carries. Next up, we have the consent calendar. This is notice public that all matters listed are considered routine by the council and
will be enacted by one motion. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless good cause is shown prior to the time the council votes on the motion to be adopted by roll call. >> I'll move to adopt uh Sans item two or B and K. >> Second >> motion by Chzach. Second by Bevans.
>> Any discussion? Tony, please call the RO. >> Johnson, >> yes. >> Stun, >> yes. >> Jagger, >> yes. >> Erikson, >> yes. >> Beans, >> yes. >> Chzach, >> yes. >> Od, >> yes. That motion carries. Next up, we have approval of minutes. Mr. Chzach.
>> Yes. On the item related to the arboritum, there was a second uh friendly amendment made which is not in the minutes and also a second by Mr. Beaven. I uh chair Johnson made the friendly amendment which said change a word from um authorized to support and
uh I think I think uh the gist of the meeting minutes are okay but it does not include that second motion and the the follow-up motion and the friendly amendment and then the second which I think when we're making motions and that they should be included. So
>> okay we looking for a motion to correct that word in the minutes. You want to try both of these at once or >> let's just do one quick move. >> Second. >> Motion by Ericson, second by Johnson. Any discussion? >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I.
>> Against. Same sign. >> Motion carries. Next up, we have the sale of transit bus 161. Again, Mr. Chzach, >> this is just a little further information. It says that the bus being disposed, it will be replaced with a new
van type vehicle in 2027. However, we are getting a van this year as well. So, this would be the second van for next year. Just to clarify, that's all I had. So, I would move to approve the consent item on this as well as it's written.
Just want further clarification for it. >> Okay. >> Second motion by Chzach, second by Bevans. Any discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. >> And same sign. Thank you. >> Thank you. That motion carries. Next up,
we have public forum. This is time allocated for citizens to bring matters not on the agenda to the attention of the council. Time limits may be imposed. So, if you're here to address the council, let's open public forum. It is 7:34. Please come forward if you are here to
address the council on anything not on the agenda. If you're online, press star three. That'll raise your hand. Again, if you're here to address the council on anything that is not on the agenda, please come forward now or press
star three online. Nobody. Max. that we will close public forum at 7:35. Number seven, we have presentations. We have two of them tonight. 7A is a 2025 audit presentation.
>> Come on up. >> All right. >> Thank you for having me. Mary Rei with um CLA U lead auditor on the audit for this year. Um, we'll go through the PowerPoint as we have in the past, but everything from
the PowerPoint really ties back to your financial statements. Um, pretty thick book there, which is why we don't really get into it, but feel free at any time to stop us as we give the presentation um, for questions, comments, whatever.
So, the second page of this >> Oops. Do you want me to move it or are you going >> Okay. Okay. Um so the auditor discussion agenda items uh we'll go through the required communications as we have in the past. We'll go over the audit results, financial results and then just
a few other discussion items that came from the audit. So the required communications is our primary responsibility as auditors is write an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements presented tonight. We do review internal accounting
controls. We want to make sure that there's controls in place and that they're working. riskbased audit approach. Obviously can't test every transaction. Um but we do some detail level testing, quite a bit of it, and then some comparisons current year to prior year and current year to budget.
If anything looks out of the ordinary, we do um extra testing in those areas. We do report internal controls and compliance on the federal awards. So you expended more than um 750,000 this year.
um significant accounting policies, those are going to be outlined in note one. And then no unusual transactions noted for this year. Um corrected and uncorrected adjustments. We did have one corrected adjustment. Um the MINDOT revenue that
is received um is actually a negative. So the city has overdrawn on that. You've been approved for it. Um you just overdrawn on your allotment per year. So then that gets recorded. um should be recorded as deferred inflow and then you
recognize that revenue as it's earned. And so last year um it was a a big enough number, negative number last year to go ahead and book that into a prior period. This year was about 1.8 million. Um so you'll see that change a little bit in the capital projects fund.
>> Mr. President, >> go ahead, Mr. President. >> Is that specifically state aid? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yes. Okay. Like you said, it's been approved. you have the cash on hand. We just have to recognize the revenue as it's allocated to the city. >> Okay.
>> So, you'll see that change going forward. Now, we'll keep that monitored and make sure that stays the same. Can I just jump in? So, for 2025, we received $1.5 million in state aid advancement. We could only recognize $870ome,000.
So, now this year, even though we get it, we won't recognize this as cash. So, it's kind of >> Look, we still got the 1.5. >> We still got the 1.5 cash in hand. >> No revenue. >> I don't like it. >> If you ask me, it's kind of going to be a pain to make sure that we get those
funds in and which ones go to which project so we know which one goes to the storm sewer fund, etc. But, >> we don't make Gazby, we just follow it. >> Yep. And we did clarify with the state to make sure we were recording it correctly. So, >> okay.
Um just the other information in there. You do have some supplementary information and other information as well. Um no disagreements with management. Um no major issues uh discussed with management prior to there. No difficulties in county
performing the audit. I I feel it went very smooth this year. Get uh Connie puts us at the top of the list. I think she likes to get rid of us, but that's just my thoughts. Um, so page six within the bound documents of course you have the group financial statements. So just keep that in mind as you're reviewing
those. You have the airport, the HA and now BPU that flows in as a fund. Those are all considered your group um audits. So overall audit results, we do issue an unmodified or a clean opinion on the basic financial statements. Um so the
one material weakness which should flow away is the material audit adjustment that we talked about. Um and then one significant deficiency segregation of duties. We um Connie was able to clear up some of that um but just not quite enough separation there yet. We'll keep
working with Connie on that as well. So the federal program that we tested was the airport improvement project and there were no findings related to that um program. Minnesota legal compliance. We test about seven areas there and no findings noted.
Okay. So, I'll let Connie take it from here. All right. So, we're going to start by looking at the general fund balance. The city's policy is that the unassigned fund balance should be about 35 to 50% of operating expenditures. The total
fund balance at December 31st was approximately 5,36,000 of which 4,144,000 is unassigned. The 2025 operating expenditures totaled approximately 13,687,000. So at December 31st, the unassigned fan
fund balance was is at 30% of operating expenditures and we are out of compliance of our policy. The next uh slide shows a pie chart comparing actual revenues versus budget. The significant differences in actual
versus budget are in licenses and permits. We had more building permit revenue. We had Country Manor in the apartment complex. And we did use some of our fund balance to offset the 2026 budget. Intergovernmental, we received more in budget in police and fire state
aid. We also were reimbursed for a 2022 storm reimbursement and we had $53,000 more in grants. We received reimbursement for a old tree grant and we also had the first quarter reimbursement for the traffic safety officer grant that we were awarded in
October of 25. We were under budget on charges for services. This was the campground revenue was under budget and other revenue um once you take out the fair market value adjustment which we'll talk later. We had the fee for conduit debt and we had better interest income than what we had planned.
The next is the expenditures. Um total expenditures exceeded budget by about $92,000. And we'll talk more about that in the upcoming slides. The city budgeted expenditures to exceed revenue in 2025 by about $96,000.
The audit results shows revenues exceeding expenditures by about $73,000. So, a difference of $799,000. However, the audit shows things a little differently than how we budgeted. And so, to get to our actual performance, the next slide shows that the difference
is actually $630,000 difference. Um, for example, the audit, we need to report funds 217 and $8.99 as part of the general fund. We don't adopt a budget for those two funds, so I remove that. Take out the adjustment for leases
and subittas. the uh city records leases as operating expense whereas the audit requires any new leases to be other financial sources and then there's a small adjustment for PAR um Gazsby also requires for adjustments um for investments reported at market value for
reporting purposes whereas this revenue the city will not actually realize as we hold investments to maturity. So actual revenue compared to budget is the 13937,739 compared to the budget of 13,411,000 a difference of $525,755.
And that's the main reason for the difference of the $630,000 difference is really our revenue. And we went over why those we were overbudget on our revenues. I think every time we come in and we look at this, I take a deep dive into the how we budgeted. How can we
improve our budgeting so that this doesn't keep happening. Um, and really I know we increased our budget for interest income for 2026. Um, you know, permit revenue is really really hard to estimate. You don't want to go too high. You don't want to go too low, obviously. Um so and then those
grant reimbursements um for state and um police and fire state aid, we don't get that settlement until the end of November, first part of December. And then we always budget what we received for the next year. So I don't know if we can look into if there's a state aid formula out there or something that we
can better estimate that would be very helpful, I think. So if we go on to the next slide um as mentioned in the first slide that I discussed the city's at 30% of unassigned fund balance um and this graph depicts the days which
we are about 49 days short of the 183 days or 50% as well as the history for the last four years. You can see in in 2022 we had the big dip that was a payment of the lawsuit. It is the recommendation of the state auditor that the city have unassigned fund balance at the end of the year to
meet the six months of operating expenditure since the city doesn't receive their main source of revenue taxes and in our case LGA until the end of June first part of July. >> I don't like to interrupt because I don't know where you're at. >> No, go ahead. Um when if we go back to
your um the police uh state what I forget the last item you >> police and fire state aid revenue. >> Yep. >> Can we can you uh can it is it possible to get like in the last few years how we've done estimating that? Was that would that be tough to figure out?
>> Part of it is but it all just depends on the legislation and how that state aid is calculated. And that's where I'm not exactly sure how the calculation is made, but it is something that I would look in for the 2027 budget to see if we can get a better estimate than just whatever we received budgeting that same amount next year.
>> So even if we went back and looked how we did in comparison to what we estimated and what we got, it wouldn't really help us. >> Probably not because it depends. But I know each year we've received more than what we've budgeted. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Sorry about that. >> No, all good, Jeff.
Um so the the next two slides compare revenues and expenditures for all city funds by category for five years. The biggest difference in revenue is in the investment earnings for 21 and 22. They were negative and this was due to the fair market value adjustment to inventories in investments as required
by Gazsby. If we look at expenditures we see the biggest fluctuation in our capital outlay which just depends on which projects are done each year. And as we discussed at the PNF agenda item, the preliminary debt levy, the city needs to have enough cash on hand
at the end of the year to pay for the February 1st of the following year's debt service payment. At the end of the year, the city had more than enough cash to make the debt service payment. Part of the influx in cash at the end of the year is also due to prepayments of excess of assessments, which is difficult to predict, but like as Gabe
we talked about at the PNF meeting, we're making we're covering that gap more and more each year. Uh the final slide is the enterprise funds. We have all three the storm sanitary collections and public utilities all had a positive change in
net position for the year. The $774,858 shown as a transfers out in the public utility column is the amount of the transfer from electric to the general fund. Of the $79.8 million of net position at the end of the year for the
enterprise, 63.6 6 million is invested in infrastructure. So we cannot use this for operating as pipe in the ground is not easily sold and converted to cash. 5.6 million is restricted for debt service and 10.6 million is unrestricted.
And now I will turn it over back over to Mary. >> Um may I Mr. President? >> Yeah go ahead Mr. Trezac. So when you talk about trying to get that payment uh by for assessments by February, >> are you finding people paying it more because they're saving on the interest
then? Is that a is that why we're covering the gap better, you think? Or is there >> I don't know if they're necessarily paying it to um not have to pay the interest. I think they're just able and see a savings by prepaying it versus putting on their taxes for 10 years. um you know for we talked about it at
committee that it's very hard to predict which projects you can have more um prepaid assessments with. It all depends on the area of the neighborhood, depends on if it's commercial or residential. And so it's really difficult to say like right now in the debt levy we have 5% of
the special assessments are going to be pay prepaid. I can tell you for last year's assessments it was way way higher than that. I think we're at 30% I do believe as prepayments. So again, it depends on the neighborhood and commercial versus residential is what I see the difference in in the prepaid
assessments. >> Does it ever you think matter on the amount of the assessment? >> I'm sure that makes a difference as well. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Appreciate it. Okay, perfect. Um so just a few insights and observations. Um overall audit
results are positive like Connie had discussed and um with everything else before uh state reporting form that is required to be submitted to the state was submitted timely and then the GFOA certificate was submitted timely too. If you look at those comments they're very
minimal um nothing alarming that means they they are prepared accurately. Fund balance reserves Connie talked about fund balance at 30% you want to be at that goal of 35 to 50%. So just continue to monitor.
So then a few of the other funds, revolving loan fund did had negative change in fund balance of about 72,000. Um you'll see quite a bit of that was spent in capital outlay of 299,000. Um within revolving loan, you still have
about 154 um restricted fund balance in there. 154,000. that service fund restricted fund balance of little over two million, expenditures of a little over one million. Um, and then like Connie had discussed, fund balance did increase due
to the collection of special assessments, uh, those prepayments. So, those do stay in there. You want to make your payments as they come due. Those special assessments will be applied as they would are scheduled in the bond payments. Capital projects fund has an
assigned fund balance of about 1.5 million there with expenditures of 7 million. Um approximately 2 million come in for transfers in and taxes levied and then also intergovernmental grants um that help pay for quite a few of those
projects. Did issue about 1.4 million in general obligation special assessment um improvement bonds for the current year. And then like we talked about in there within the revenue there is not included the 1.8 that's in deferred inflows now
that you'll recognize um each year. So very high level overview. I didn't know if there are any followup questions or comments. >> May I? >> Yeah go ahead Mr. Ch. said 1 point whatever million for the current year in
the um bond I believe was um you're auditing last year though right is >> 25 correct >> so how can you explain what you meant by what current year and then how does that how does that I'm I'm confused by that language how you said that >> so current year for me is 2025
>> okay easy enough >> yeah sorry >> that's okay I had to ask >> and if you will note we did issue more than the $1.3 million of debt last year I think it almost three three and a half million was actually our debt issuance. It's only the 1.3 because the rest is in the enterprise funds.
>> Thank you. Does anybody else have questions? >> Thank you for that. >> Looks like you guys are free to go. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. >> All right. Next up, we have 7B, the airport budget presentation.
Come on up. >> I heard this last meeting. Good evening. My name is Daryl Palmer. I'm the current chair of the Briner Regional Airport Commission, and I'm here tonight to discuss the airport budget with you. Our manager, Jennifer,
uh, Roach, is having the fun part of this. She's over at the Oshkosh Air Show, and so I get the fun job of coming talking to you about a budget. So, um, in your packet, you should have the budget there. Just want to touch on a couple of things.
Um our our revenues have historically been running around a million dollars. Uh we don't see a significant change in that going forward. We've increased our revenues by 3% going forward just as a um average rate. Some of our tenants
have longerterm agreements. And so when we blend things together, it looks like about a 3.3% increase. And our expenses with the exception of staff and that we've increased at about 4.2%. But if you look down on our total maintenance and operating
expenses, you can see we've uh we spend a bit more than what we actually have coming in. So we're receiving about a million dollars a year in revenues and we're spending $1.5 to $1.6 million and of course it expands as time goes on. Which brings us to the problem that you
guys are all aware of in terms of a proposed ordinance trying to change how the structure of payments comes. our our cash burn at the rate we are going is um about three years out of the funds that are I'll call it unencumbered. We have a cash balance, but some of that's some of
the CARES money we got during the the COVID period. Um, which is tied to equipment and maintenance on the buildings. But basically, at the rate we're burning, we're we're using up savings at a rate of about $250 to $300,000 a year to operate the airport
on top of the funds that are provided by both the city and the county. So, looking at our expenses, um, our number one expense of course is personnel. represents about 55% of our expenses.
We've got six and a half full-time people that basically run that airport uh 13 hours a day, excuse me, 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. So, we think that's a pretty reasonable amount of staff cost for that. Um, our staff
does the maintenance at the airport, all the building maintenance, grounds maintenance, and all that stuff is contracted out. So, we do think that's a pretty efficient thing. Our second largest expense item is the uh utilities, Brandon Public Utilities charge. I'm I'm hoping that uh as you
guys review that number going forward in time that we can come up with a solution to reduce the 200% tariff that you charge the airport for the water service. And I guess that'll be a discussion that you folks and council member Joerger can have more discussions
on. But I'm hoping as part of the the ordinance going forward, we'll change that. The third most expensive item on our on our bill is actually the charges we pay the city of Briner for HR, finance, and it those combined are about $95,000. So between the Briner public
utilities and the city of Briner charges, that's about $250,000 of our 1.5 $1.6 million in expenses. >> Mr. President. >> Yeah, Mr. Chzac. Uh Darl, can you help
me on the um HR it and those uh expenses to the airport? Are are we currently charging you this year for those? >> That is the current plan. Yes. >> So >> those numbers were provided to us by the city of Briner for use in our budgeting. Yes.
>> But we are currently charging the airport this year for those services. >> I believe 2026 we are Jeff. Yes. Right. Okay. Thank you. >> 2025 not 2026. Yes. Okay. >> Yep. a shift. So, I know you guys have reviewed um
some of the ordinance issues there. Hopefully, that is moving forward. I I I believe that that's a a right, correct, and fair way to resolve the the back and forth we've been having with the airport. I'm sure Kevin I see Kevin he's looks like he's still nodding his head
supporting it as well. So, I look forward to that. Do you have questions on specifics on the airport line items? I'm wondering if you guys have brought any of this to the public utilities commission for discussion. >> There has been some discussions um
minimal at this point in time, but it's been identified as an issue as we've talked about the other services that we're getting. >> Okay. Is the airport is not currently annexed then? Correct. >> That's correct. >> So annexation could solve that issue.
>> I I would expect that. I don't know what the current plan on that is and I I guess I would defer to council member Joerger on that for a better definition. >> Certainly certainly one option to look at for sure. >> May I
>> Mr. Jagger? Go ahead and finish. >> Yeah, please. I I guess what I was going to say is is that it's it's uh the the double billing on the utilities is something that's been on our radar, but to be perfectly honest, the commission has been very busy with a lot of other
tasks over the last year. So, it's something it's it's on our list, but it's now beginning to move to the top as we're starting to check a lot of our bigger boxes that we've been dealing with at the airport over the last year. So, I think it's something that does need to be brought forward, need to be thought about creatively. Uh, as you can see, the the impact is it's a pretty
deep it's pretty deep impact to the the budget when you see it played out. We see our Darl and I see the bills come across every month between 11 and $15,000 that goes directly to utilities. That's monthly. So, something to think about for sure. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair.
>> Kazak. >> Yeah. On that note, when the water and sewer were extended out to the airport, the airport commission was highly engaged with the public utilities commission to see if they wave that double fee and there had no desire to do
that. However, there's all brand new people with the exception maybe one right now. So, maybe something they consider, but I can't speak for them. So, >> thank you, Mr. Chzach. >> Apparently, Mr. Chzach has some background on that one more so than I do.
Correct, Jeff. You because you were on Were you on the commission at that point in time, the airport commission? >> Anything more? >> Nothing that I need to cover. I I guess questions on the amount that's uh being established for this upcoming year's
fees from the airport or to the airport. Uh >> we've all been pretty aware of what's what's going on, especially recently, but if anybody has questions, go ahead and ask. Mr. Chz, >> Daryl, I I do Can you tell us what you're estimating your requests for the
city and county are going to be this year? >> Yeah. Yep. Give me a second here. >> Okay. The 2027 request is 235 for each one of them. And it's going to stay that for current proposals, the 2028, and then
it'll escalate to 250 in 2029 and 270 and then 290 is the kind of the structuring of it. We're trying to whittle down that deficiency without having too much of a shell shock. But I'm afraid we're going to have to get pretty realistic pretty soon about how
we're going to fix that cash flow problem because we can't continue to run at that kind of a deficit taking money out of savings every year, year after year. >> Thank you very much, Mr. >> President. >> Mr. Johnson, >> uh Kevin, correct me if we get this ordinance agreement done with the
county, that would change our structure of the levy. It wouldn't be 50/50. Next year it would be 75 county 25 us. >> That's correct, Mr. Johnson. So these these numbers that you see in front of you are prefaced to that ordinance creation and the adoption. We've as we know we've ran it through us. It just hasn't quite made it through the county
yet. We anticipate that to happen in which case the the total of the two will still be the same, but the split would be different. Mr. Johnson, >> our share would be 1175, which would be about $100,000 increase out of our pocket. >> That's correct. And then and then in in uh in in following years it it goes to
80% on the county 20 and then 8515. Yep. >> Thank you. >> Mhm. >> Thank you, Chairman Johnson. Anybody else have questions? >> Thank you, Mr. Palmer. >> All right. Thank you. Appreciate you
taking the time. >> You as well. >> Thanks, Darl. >> All right, that does it for presentations. Next up, we have council committee reports. First up, we have safety and public works committee chairman Tad Ericson. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Uh just three
items on our agenda. Uh the first of which is joint powers agreement with Crowing County Records Management System. The motion coming out of committee is to authorize the appropriate signatures on the joint powers agreement with Crowing County for records management system. And I so move >> second.
>> Motion by Ericson, second by Chzach. Chairman Ericson. >> This is something that's been in the works uh for several years. uh both Brainer Police Department and the county's uh sheriff's office along with several other participating law enforcement agencies throughout the
county. I believe there's nine or 10 uh communities. Um basically the rec the current um records management system is obsolete or nearing obsolescence. Um there's updates software updates that are either no longer provided or soon to
be no longer provided. And so they've been looking into uh a new system uh over the past several years and this is the one they've come up with is uh 365 Labs as the replacement for the countywide records management system
and um there is a financial impact on this one. We're currently paying around 17,000 for the system uh that we previously had the obsolete one and then this new item is just under 54,000 uh for the first three years of the agreement.
>> Thank you, Chairman Ericson. Any further discussion? Johnson? >> Did we have 538 in the budget for 2026? >> Yes, we did. And we were using the public safety aid, the onetime public safety aid that we received a couple years ago to offset the difference
between the 53 and the 17. >> Okay. So that will have a little levy effect going into 27. >> Correct. >> Thank you. >> Unless we continue to use public safety aids until it's gone. >> Okay. >> Is that 538 every year for the next three years or for the three years?
>> Every year. >> Every year. >> Is that okay? I'll just >> Yeah, it's annual. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Further discussion, seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. >> Against. Same sign. Motion carries.
>> Chairman Ericson. >> All right. This is our second item, change order number one for improvement 256. This is the 2026 resurfacing project. Motion coming out of committee lost my spot here is to approve the two
the change order number one um in the total amount of 19,17025 cents and I so move >> second >> motion by Ericson second by Chzach chairman Ericson >> this is the same project but there's two items the first of which is a water mane
installation this is for spruce drive um as they got into there um replacing the uh storm sewer. They discovered there's a 6-in fire suppress suppression line that was directly underneath and um they added this uh insulation. I think the
idea is if the storm sewer were to freeze that wouldn't want the fire suppression line to freeze as well. So that item uh which is included in that total I gave is $170,025. And then the second item that's included in that >> $170.
>> Oh, did I say a,000? >> Yes. >> Sorry. $170.25. >> Paul's heart got going real fast. >> Um and then the second item is a turf establishment for the Delmare uh drive. Um they widened the road in just a few
spaces and in in order to maintain the grade uh they had some turf reestablishment and there was some mobilization costs for the crew to come back up there. So that was the the $19,000 portion. >> All right. Thank you, Chairman Ericson. Beans,
>> if I may, uh, m Mr. Chair, either one, >> the $19,000, that's an addition to what did we budget? My apologize. The $19,000 on the uh change order. How much was
initially budgeted? >> 716. >> Mr. Sandy. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair, if I may. Um the original turf establishment amount was very minimal on this project cuz it was a resurfacing project. So we're only touching some bad curb areas um on
multiple streets around town. So this is literally about double the amount for turf establishment because we shouldered and did establishment on basically the entire length of Delmare Drive. >> So roughly 9500 plus the 19 >> uh 19 plus the 19. So, it's literally
about double >> $38,000. And we probably get more complaints on the grass that we plant than anything else on our projects. There's less than 20 houses on Delmare. Why don't we just give them all two grand?
I'm dead serious. They're going to all come back and complain about the weeds. Let them put their own stuff down. This is a That's a huge amount for grass. It's not really grass. We we've all been on the council long
enough to everybody comes in here and complains that my grass is dead, my grass is full of weeds, all I have is dirt. And we're talking 40 $38,000 for less than 20 houses. >> Well, no. There was no turf
establishment originally on Delmare Drive planned. >> I thought you said 19,000. >> No. So, that was for the rest the remainder of the project. We did not have any top soil or shouldering that was happening on Delmare Drive. So, >> okay, >> that because the the roadway was wider in many spots and we ended up narrowing
or creating a standard typical section through there. So, we had many areas that the shoulder the drop off from the edge of the new pavement needed to get filled in with top soil. That led us to then seating those areas. So, the entire project turf restoration was about
19,000. >> That includes dirt. the rest of it. Okay. >> Mostly fill. >> So, it's one grand. >> I I I just am hesitant to spend $19,000. I mean, if it was nice sad,
that would be one thing, which we've never done in my 25 years on the council. We always plant weeds. So, people complain. And that's the biggest complaint you hear on these road projects is the grass all around Gregory Park. you still hear it
>> five years later. >> So I I'm I'm reluctant to support this because of the dollar per per unit per house is so high.
That's that's my comment. >> Thank you, Mr. Beans. I agree that is something that we hear about all the time. I think we can get better at it. It is up to us in the end when we do finalize that payment is after the turf has been established. So if if we keep
an keep an eye on this kind of thing and is all weeds it's up to us if we're if we're going to approve that last payment or not. So keep it in mind. Mr. Jagger. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I might just chime in. We have the ability to create the specifications when we go out
for RFP what type of turf reestablishment we want to use. We have DOT mix. We have all different types that are available. I'd like to make a motion to ask staff to come back to us with just a basic overview of the options that we have on our road
projects and what the turf reestablishments are possibilities are with rough cost associated just as a blanket overview so we have that for future projects. >> Can we hold the the motion until we finish the first one? >> We got a >> Oh, so sorry. Yes.
>> But keep that. >> Is that all, Mr. Joerger? That was all because we create the spec. We we we have the power to create our own specs on our own RFP, our own projects. Great, >> Mr. Chazak. >> So, kind of referencing what Mr. Beaven said, um we we don't have an option here. We've already approved this
change, have we not, Mr. Sandy? >> Yeah, the work's been completed. >> Okay. So, we can't really say um somebody's going to pay for it. So, is it going to be us or how's that going to happen since they already done the work? But I I understand what you're saying though, Kelly. I wouldn't necessarily disagree.
In this case, it's after the fact. So, that's all I got. Mr. Mr. >> Thank you, Mr. Chazak. >> Mr. Johnson. >> Yeah, I too have heard people uh talk about how poor our receding is. And my my road was redone a couple years ago, and there was actually a little spot in the back corner of my lot that they
missed with the hydro seating. And that is the best looking part of >> along the the public rightway. >> That's my point. But uh I am going to reluctantly support the motion since the work has been done and it sounds like there was some some fill and some dirt brought in and it's not just a little
bit of hydro seating. So I support it. >> Beans follow-up question Mr. Chair and maybe have Mr. I first of all if we as Mr. Chzik states we've already done it. We have to pay the guy. I'm I'll support that. The second thing I'd like to know
is what did we spec on this one? Since we set the spec, we did set the spec on this one. What did we spec, >> Mr. Sandy? >> Couple of green weeds or or what Gabe got, which is nothing.
>> So, our we trans well we transitioned back. We did a lot of projects up in North Brainard. I think maybe around the early 2000s, Kelly, you may remember these where we had sod. Um, sod has its own nuances where the contractor is responsible for watering for 30 days per
most specifications and after that point it's turned back to the property owners um to water their their grass after that point. So saw definitely has its benefits to being green and lush right away but historically it has been when it gets turned back to the residents it
ends up dying and we end up with a way worse product than we had started with. Um to the question about what our specification currently is. Right now our turf establishment specification is what I would call a performance specification. It's a lump sum payment
and we dictate how much seed, what type of seed, what type of hydro mulch mixture to put down. And the performance specification side of that is the contractor is basically on the hook to get to a 70% perennial growth. Now that
being said, um there is some expectation that the city will provide additional compensation if for example the last three weeks here we have had absolutely zero rain and so or if the city is requiring that these projects get seated
during the hottest time of the year. In the mind specification there's actual seating dates. So, um, the seating dates are basically the spring and the fall of the year. If the city has its phasing plan such that we're seating these projects in the dead of summer, like
some of the stuff that just got done on South 10th Street, um, there is an opportunity for a contractor to come and ask for additional compensation for watering or things to try to get that perennial growth. And so, right now, our specifications are set up as a performance spec. They're a lump sum
payment. um and you're they're paid out in portions of that as we get growth. We are looking at as staff right now since this conversation I think seems to continue to come up with the restoration and it's the final product is the stuff that always gets the most um I'll call
it complaints at the end of a project, right? The the turf establishment is the one thing that can make or break a road project. Um, a lot of, uh, contracts that I've seen recently have broken out the actual seed mix, the hydro mulch
mix, watering, and so you have specific bid items at a unit cost rate rather than a lump sum. So, you kind of get away from the performance specification side of this. And when the when you ask the contractor to come back and reseed or ask the contractor to come water or
ask the contractor to come hydro mulch, you will pay him every time he comes back for those specific items that he installs on the project. So that is something that we could go to, but really your options are the lump sum performance specification, paying the
contractor for each and every item that they install on a project or going to SAD. And um we went away from sod 20 years ago because we had so many problems with it with turning it back to residents um seated and and maintained
areas like we have done have the best chance of growing and sustaining growth in the future. It's just there is many times a lot of pain before you get to a good final product. >> Thank thank you. The the other option you didn't mention of course is just let
the residents take care of it. As Gabe said, the best spot in his yard is the one that wasn't touched. >> So, thank you. I'll support the 19 grand. We have >> Ericson. >> And not to belabor this too and I acknowledge I think I've heard this from
residents as well. And so, I think it's an an issue and it sounds like we might be looking into it. Um, something I would support. But I would just add too, I think, you know, week in and week out, I mean, and maybe this is a question for Mr. Sandy, we approve our final payment based on
turfree, the 75% turf reestablishment. So, I think we do have the opportunity with each of these projects to individually look at this and evaluate and make sure it's to where we want it. So, um, and we, you know, we approve those, you know, routinely. So, maybe we need need to take, you know, some extra
time before we relinquish that final payment for each of these projects to begin to address um the turf reestablishment. So anyway, like >> right thank you chairman Ericson. >> We should establish a turf committee. >> I don't know about that.
>> Any further discussion on the motion? >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. >> Against. Same sign. That motion carries. Mr. Jagger. >> Yeah. Basically, my motion is just just to help direct staff to uh to come back to us with an option that gives us the
ability to grow really nice grass on our pro on our projects if we want to. uh versus the weed mix that we're putting down now. That's all. >> Second >> by Jagger, second by Johnson. Discussion on that motion. >> So, basically directing staff to give us
some options. >> Yeah, there's there's other options. We just want to know obviously they come with a cost, right? Everything comes with a cost. But just if if we know what that cost is, we know going into it, we may have other ideas on how to do better. It's not just the yards, it's the boulevards and all that. And you can drive through this town and you can see
boulevards that look really nice with grass and then recent boulevards that are not grass at all. That's I think what we're driving at here. You understand Paul? Right. >> I think we could also talk about Mr. Beaven's idea just to see what that option would look like to have >> residents take care of their own grass. It's
>> always artificial turf too. >> Is that any further discussion? >> 100%. >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. Against. Same sign. >> Motion carries. >> Hey Mr. Mr. Chair, >> Mr. Evans, >> just on a side note, we do have a
Highway 210 beautifification committee that has met a number of times and that committee recommended some artificial turf to Mandot. MDOT initially rejected that and said absolutely not. And now they've changed
their mind. So, you're going to get to see some on 210 within two years. And I I realize the statement was rather glib, but that's a nightmare trying to grow grass on Highway 210.
>> So, I'm just saying we're going to we're we're going to get a chance with the in the very near future to see what that looks like. >> Very good. >> I think there's also some painted concrete, but none of it's green. >> Okay. We could paint it green.
>> Paint the dirt green if you want. >> You can be on the committee next year. Hope so. >> All right. Uh, next up, uh, again, we have Chairman Ericson. >> One more item. This is our last item. Uh, proposal professional engineering
design service brainer gully repair project. The motion coming out of committee is to approve the proposal from HR Green in a not to exceed a fee amount of $10,000 and authorized to execute the reimbursement agreement
between soil water conservation district and the city when provided. And I so move >> second >> motion by Ericson, second by Chzach. Chairman Ericson. >> So you'll recall that we received a a large grant for this gully remediation project. Um, in our June 15th meeting,
we directed staff to obtain proposals. Um, with with the grant, uh, we did what we're calling the plunge pool. Um, and that, um, provided some stabilization and erosion control. Um, soil water conservation pointed out that after we
did that, there is still, uh, some additional stabilization. We talked about this at the previous meeting, but for the for the public, um, there is funds available in our grant. Um, and so we directed uh staff to uh get some additional scope to see what could be
done beyond the work that we did with the grant. Um, and they've done that and HR Green came back with this scope uh again or proposal not to exceed $10,000. With that, we're um we're hoping to see if we can do the work inhouse, but
staff's going to make that determination um uh after pending tonight's decision. In addition to that, uh, from the initial grant that we received, uh, those funds could be used for the, um, construction of this. >> Thank you, Chairman Ericson. Any further
discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. >> Again, same sign. >> I. >> That motion carries. 61. >> Uh, Chairman Ericson. >> Uh, thank you. End of report. >> Thank you, Chairman. Next up, we have Personnel and Finance Committee Chairman
Gabe Johnson. Thank you, Mr. President. The one item on our agenda is a just a discussion on the 2027 preliminary debt levy. This is just the uh the first look at it and we'll continue talking about it as we go through the budgeting process this year. Connie put together a
very detailed memo for us. I I hope you all read it. If you haven't yet, please take the time to do so. But if you go down to page 278 on the agenda or on the in the packet, you'll see the spreadsheet. She has put
all of our existing outstanding debt and then our projected payments, the two payments we're going to need to make with the balance we have right now and special assessments and a lot of calculations. County puts a lot of work into this. But if you go to the purple column on the far end, that's what we're
going to need to levy this year to make our payments in 27 and 28. And you go down to the bottom and you see that's 1.49,872, 409,872 which is as we stand right now an increase of $644,872 which if everything else in our budget
stays the exact same the debt levy alone largely because the fire department project is increasing six is increasing the levy about 8% next year and that's that's before we're talking any payroll increases or anything like that. So,
it's just an information topic. If anybody has any questions, I I'd ask you to direct them to Connie. She knows this much better. >> Thank you, Chairman Johnson. Anybody have questions? Mr. Chz, >> sir, Chairman uh Johnson, approximately how long was your meeting? >> Six minutes.
>> Thank you. >> I think that's going to come up in a later item tonight. >> Yeah, going through your stuff makes it go way longer. >> Not a chance. >> Any further questions? All right. I have I have another item. I
al be Evans pointed it out to me a minute ago. We didn't vote to accept the audit report. Connie, isn't that something we should probably do? >> Um, some cities do, some cities don't. We always have in the past. >> We always have in the past. I I I'd move to accept the audit report from Ken
Larson Allen. >> Second. >> Motion by Johnson, second by Stunnick. Discussion on that. >> Yeah. What What if we didn't? >> Some cities don't. I guess it doesn't matter. But we but Brainer does >> I'll go ahead and accept it. Any
discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Again. Same sign. >> Audit accepted. Anything else? Chairman Johnson. >> End of report. >> Thank you, Chairman. Next up, we have number nine, unfinished business. And
this 9A is a call for applicants. First up, we have the honorable Mayor Bedau. >> Okay, we had some clarification. Tony, thank you. From the charter that uh boards and commissions, the members will continue forward until their replacement is appointed. So, that is in the charter
language. Just a follow-up from previous meetings. Uh the following boards and commissions have openings on them. The charter commission, two terms expiring 2029, two terms expiring 2026. And economic development authority, one term expiring 2028, one term expiring 2031.
Library board, one term expiring 2027. Public Utilities Commission. One term expiring 2026. >> One more. >> Two more. >> Look at that. Oh my gosh. There it is. TAC Transportation Advisory Committee. Two terms expiring 2027.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And as council president, I have one term expiring 2028 on the airport commission, one term expiring 2028 on the planning commission, and two open terms on the water tower committee. That does it for call for applicants. 9B
is a discussion on council structure and I'll hand this over to administrator Broyals. >> Thank you, Mr. President. The last city council meeting uh council directed staff to provide present some options um regarding our committees. Um concerns
have been raised about the need or the lack thereof of our committees uh personnel and finance, safety and public works. Generally, the concerns that I've heard have been around potential duplicative conversations uh in meetings where the entire city council is not present. From a staff perspective, the
only comment I would have is um oftentimes, tonight was another example um where the committee meetings are the same time and there's members of staff, myself included, that would like to attend both of them. Sometimes I can't. So, um basically this is just a recommendation. Really the council is
only limited by your own imagination, but this is the options that we came this is the option that we came up with as a staff is have two as we normally do now have two standing city council meetings a month on the first and third could be Monday or Tuesday at 6 p.m. So,
we were kind of trying to get the meetings earlier and trying to probably not add meetings, either maintain the number of meetings or even reduce the number of meetings, but we would suggest having two city council meetings a month, first and third Monday or Tuesday at 6 p.m. You could leave the committee chairs and the committee
members in place, but just have no regularly scheduled meetings. And the council president would reserve the right to direct the chairs to call a to call a special meeting for whatever purpose. Um, and then the agendas would change a little bit. Obviously, the major headings for the agenda would be consent, public forum, presentations,
old business, new business, and the normal closing reports. So, from a staff perspective um to council, lots of options here. I just have three. You can take no action, maintain the status quo. You could direct staff to implement any or all of the suggested changes above or
you could provide direction other than anything that's been identified. Again, I think you're only limited by your own imagination. Staff will respond accordingly, but we want to hear from you guys. financial impacts would be negligible. There might be some administrative costs to publish some things in the paper, etc., etc., but
it'd be minimal. So, that's um that was staff's inputs. Just happy to hear from what the council thinks. >> Thank you. Administrator Broyals, does anybody want to start this discussion? >> I have a question, >> Mr. Beaven. Yeah, go ahead. >> Item one, have two standing city council
meetings a month at 6:00 p.m. >> So, you're talking about moving the city council an hour earlier, >> hour and a half. Hour and a half. Thank you, Mr. Chzik, for the second grade math lesson today. So, >> you were close.
>> Yeah, I was close. I was within a half hour and and then a li but it doesn't say what what about what about the committees? They would just disappear on item one. >> You would you would leave them in place but have no regular standard. That's item two. I would not have this is the
suggestion as it's presented is to >> have two recurring standing meetings a month. That's city council meetings. >> Yep. >> The committee meetings there would be no recurring committee meetings. Now the committees could be maintained. The committee chairs could be maintained and
then the council president wants to direct a special meeting for the PNF committee or SPW committee to address something perhaps like a fire station remodel something rather significant. You know, the president will reserve the right to call a special committee meeting at their at their pleasure.
Got >> but it wouldn't be a recurring one that would happen every two weeks. >> Thank you. Just wanted to clarify. So one and two really really are the crux of this that option. >> Thank you.
>> And I'll add in it wouldn't have to be whether I'm president or somebody else is president. I think it would be appropriate for a chair of a committee to be able to call those special meetings as well or any council member to request that there is a special
meeting on anything committee related, but we can iron that out as we go if we're going to make any of these changes as well. I'm I'm not one that's going to be sitting up here pushing for any of these changes. I'm certainly open to them. Uh I know most of our families would probably like it, staff included,
if we had these meetings earlier. Stun would really like it. >> Well, as you know, for many years, I've always pushed to start at 6:00 or 6:30 for exactly that reason. >> Families for me, my kids and everything are all gone. But I think by getting here at 6:00 and you're home by 7:30, 8
rather than 9:30, 10 is much more convenient. I sit home on Monday nights and twiddle my thumbs for two hours, wait until 7:15 comes. I'd be home by then half the time. So, I totally support that. >> You do that every night though, don't you? >> No. Thank you. I'm
>> busy. U Mr. Jagger, then Chazak. >> Uh yeah, so I'll just weigh in here just real quickly. I from from my chair, I'd like to see I'd like to see everything happen basically at the same meeting. What what's happened, what I've experienced a couple times is a couple things. One, I want to be at both meetings. I want to hear a presentation
that was at the other meeting. An example of this was the arburetum. Trevor made a presentation. I saw he was down there. I'm like, "Oh, good. He'll be at the main meeting." He chose not to come to the main meeting, so I couldn't get the questions in. Sorry, Gabe. >> My fault. I told them to go home. >> Okay. So, but that's just one example. But then also I've noticed several times
where the public comes, they have to sit through a one of our special meetings. We adjourn maybe potentially early. Sometimes as many as 20 minutes or sometimes as much as 20 minutes early. They got to wait around then wait for the next then the primary meeting to come up or the the main city council meeting come up. So I think it's better
for for me personally if it was all just at the same meeting. I like the two meetings on six o'clock. That works for me. >> Amen. Jes thank you uh Mr. President uh uh Mr. Beaven had mentioned something at
the last meeting um and I and I would agree that it gives citizens an opportunity a little bit more liberty to speak. However, we have a time constraint on all of the safety and public works and PNF meetings prior to the council meeting generally try to be done at 7:30 and that does put a constraint. We Oh, we were rushing now.
We're rushing. We got behind. somebody was here to speak and you don't like to gavvel you're done now. So that's happened a couple of times. I don't know about PNF but it has in safety and public works people want to speak and we have a time limit and so even though TAD does I think a really good job of uh scheduling the meetings with plenty of
time u sometimes that gets to be a problem and of course I mentioned at the last meeting it's hard to be in two places at once as Mr. Joerger said we have items that we cover. We sit here tonight, go through everything and safety and public works, come back or PNF. You sit down now, you 7:30 starts,
now we're giving a report, go over the same thing, meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting. It makes no sense to me. We're all capable of understanding what's written. We can go through our packet. I I do both committees and everything else. I would hope everybody else does as well. I I'm
I'm confident staff would appreciate being able to do this. And again, if it didn't work, we could always go back to the same way we've always done it. So, I just think it'd be important to try it, see how it works. And uh we don't necessarily have to meet
at 6 either. We could meet at 6:30 if that worked better for people. >> Wait a minute. >> Well, you're losing us. >> Had to get that in there. But uh so in that regard, I'm happy to meet at six as well. Um I I know that according to
charter I believe we got to uh appoint a safety and public works chair and PNF chair. Uh we'd have to amend the charter not to do that. So if you want to just appoint them they are then in place to have that special committee meeting if the need arose. So that's all I got. Mr.
President, >> um I will just say regarding the time on Mondays is different for me than Tuesdays. I'm not going to be here forever, but I'm here now. Uh, just my clinic schedule 6:30s would work Monday, but if we did move it move it to
Tuesday, I could go as early as 5:30. So, just throwing that out there. U, I think Mr. Johnson, >> yeah, I'll be the contrarian here. I I like the status quo. I think it's more efficient. I think the recommendations
by staff really consolidate power into the council president. And I and I absolutely trust Mike, but we could have a bad president. I We had Kelly for four years, you know. >> Wow. >> Six times. >> I kid, but this this puts pretty much
all of the control of the agenda and how it's presented, what what's on it and and when it's presented in the hands of the council president instead of the committee chairs. I like as a committee chair, for one, our meetings are run very efficiently. We never run out of time. Why? We plan ahead. Connie and I
have a conversation. and we all lot a certain amount of time. I don't cut people off when they're presenting. I cut off staff when they're running a a little too long. But, uh, I think when I meet with Connie on the Wednesday before the council meetings, especially during
budget season, which we're getting into, we do a lot more business, a lot more city business that isn't necessarily a council agenda item at that time. but she tells me what she's working on, what she's thinking, what's what's it going over the next three months, and we can kind of brainstorm together on on what I
what we think together would work best for the city. And and just eliminating that input from the the committee chairs, I I think would be a detriment to the operations of the city. I would disagree that meeting earlier is better for families. I like eating dinner with
my family, giving my kids a hug, saying, "See you later. I'm going to the council meeting." instead of as dinner is about to be put on the table, I say, "Well, see you later. Enjoy your dinner." I I think coming here at 7:15 and getting the business done makes much more sense. And then, as Kelly pointed out last
time, we have, you know, Trevor has to come here or we have people who have their own families who have to come here and present to a committee. if they can present, get in, get out, and it's done, they can get back home to their families, and they don't have to sit through what sometimes can be three-hour
meetings. Even if we, and that's without the council committees. If we had those three-hour meetings with the committees, we're talking now a four or five hour meeting, and we're going to make citizens sit there for four hours to present their case to the council. I just I don't think it's more efficient. It sounds like I'm in the minority here.
I like the status quo. We as a council unanimously voted for this structure last January. There will be a new council come this coming January and if changes are in order then I I support you guys to to explore them. But I would like to maintain the status quo for the rest of this year.
>> Mr. President, >> Chairman Johnson, >> Mr. Chzog, >> would you entertain a motion? >> Yeah, but I I do want to point out one other thing about safety and public works. I'm looking at James. It was a few years ago, I believe, safety and public works
committee became the official uh was it was it rental rental housing board of appeals. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. So, um rental housing board of appeals. Um I believe if somebody wants to appeal a citation um and then I believe kind of
our parking commission as well. So, we did discuss this as staff. We'd have to kind of work through this and and figure out that process. So, it is on our radar. >> Okay. Uh, Mr. Chza, >> in that regard though, if that was it would we never met after that was
approved u adopted I believe right board of appeals never met. Yeah, >> I'm looking at James for an answer. >> No. >> Yeah, the for the rental side of things we have not had to meet on that nor have we met on the parking commission. I believe they have reviewed one or two appeals on citations.
>> Okay. And and in that regard, we could have that scheduled as a committee, >> right, >> prior to council. Yep. Okay. >> Just don't want it to fall to the wayside. >> Yeah. Um I I would I would also >> we have we have one more comment here. Mr. Mayor wants to speak and then I'll give it back to you, Mr. Chairman. >> Okay. Sure. Yeah. I was just going to
echo a few of Gab's concerns. My my concern more than anything is I think we're this is going to lead to longer meetings. This is going to lead to more meetings. What's going to happen, especially around budgeting time, is you are going to have budgeting meetings that are going to have to take place. That's going to have to happen. It's not going to be something that is just going
to somehow magically not be able to be taken care of. So now all of a sudden now we're meeting on more days. So if you want to attend those meetings, you're gonna come on into city hall. So the time that you think you're going to save, you're going to be coming into city hall more days. I can guarantee that's going to happen. I also think it's going to lead to longer meetings. I
like the structure as it is, but I also don't have to attend either one of those meetings. So, I'm probably the worst person to possibly say these things, but I I also just from a from a standpoint of someone when I came on to the council, I really appreciate the format that we have because I'm a person that
trusts the people that are beside me that when they come with a recommendation, I understand that you've sat through that information. If I have if I have questions about it, I can always send an email beforehand. I recommend this to our boards all the time. If you have questions of staff, send it to them ahead of time and they can get those those answers to you at
the meeting. There are tons of things we could do to make uh access to that information possible. I understand that presentations is one that you're not going to be able to sit through, but I'm also a person that has said on numerous occasions, I want way less presentations. I would like zero presentations if physically possible. So
my stance on it is is that I I like the the way that it stands now and I do honestly believe that it will lead to more meetings for sure, but I also think it will lead to longer meetings as well. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. >> We have one more presentation tonight just so you
>> I can only >> Mr. Chzach. >> Yeah. Um, you know, it's all everybody's saying we're going to have longer meetings and you're taking into account then they sometimes we start at 6:45 6 7 6:30 at times uh if you factor
that in and uh you know obviously the two committees have different times and uh I I um some of this hesitation is it just goes back to what I said if it doesn't work we can always go back. And uh if you're
prepared for a motion, Mr. President. >> Yeah. Looking for a motion. >> I would move that we uh direct staff to prepare to come back at our second meeting in August, which I believe is the uh 17th, I believe, and uh have
everything in place to start the full council meeting. No committee meetings. Everything's on one agenda. uh go through the necessary uh notices and uh just move forward in that direction as I believe is one of the recommendations is
that what you had all included there Mr. Broyals for the that encompassed that one uh starting early at 6 and then I just want to make sure that's what you had on here for >> the only the only variable that has not yet been answered is day of the week. If you if you're if you're going to go with
the recommendation that was presented tonight, um everything's clear except the day of the week that you would want it. >> Okay. Can I ask a question during the middle of this motion? Are you okay with that? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I want to move forward what I suggested, but I know Mike, you said he had a problem starting at 6 on Mondays.
So, I >> 6:30 works on Mondays. >> Okay. I I'd be willing to do a Tuesday and of course that means we change all of our meetings and I believe that I think that's in the charter the Monday. I'm not sure but we and if that is we I don't think does anybody know if that's in the charter? We have a meeting on the
Monday 1st and third or just no it's it's no fewer than two meetings a month I believe it >> doesn't specify the date to my knowledge. >> Do I move forward a Tuesday meeting? I think that's gives us a break on those holidays that are on Monday as well because we're always switching several times a year at least three or four. So
that' be a meeting on Tuesdays starting at 6 just full one full council meeting. And that's my motion. Motion by Chzach. Looking for a second. >> Second. >> Second by Stunic. Any discussion on that motion?
>> Johnson. >> Yeah, I oppose it for all of the uh reasons I stated. I actually went back over like our last eight meetings and they average about 90 minutes a piece and we spend about 22 minutes on committee work during the meetings. We kind of fly through it really fast
because each committee does their due diligence and they do their homework and they ask the questions and do the work in the committee meeting. Yes, it takes time. You're showing up earlier. Safety and public works. It looks like you might save a little bit of time putting it all in one agenda. Personal and
finance is going to waste a lot of time. We are going to lose a lot of time. But it's 20 minutes a meeting for our comm for our committees. It's not much. when we put all of the committee work, we're going to be talking an hour and a half. It's every meeting, not just sometimes.
So, with all of the reasons I stated before, the consolidation of power into one member of the council over the whole body, all of the other reasons, I I can't support this change. >> Thank you, Chairman Johnson. Stunic >> comment. So, I'm not against the
committee meetings, personal finances, safety, and public works. What if what if we kept that structured that way and have the committee meetings meet at 6, do council at 6:30. If you've done the background checks and most of the committee meetings are 22 minutes, that would fit pretty well. >> Mo, we do handle committee work during
council meetings in 22 minutes. Most of our meetings are 15 to 30 minutes. Most of safety and public works are 30 to 60 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes. So, we couldn't have a set start time for committees because we just have such >> an end times of the year. We have more
work, they have more work. It all it's variable. >> Agreed. Mr. >> President Ericson, >> I'm also going to oppose it. Um I've I guess I've kind of grown to appreciate the the committees the committee meetings. Um I there there are some
issues I see with it. Um for example, like with the fire fire station, we had that presentation and then with the committee bringing that recommendation, it almost precluded them from giving that presentation in council. So, I I think there are some uh kind of it makes
it a little bit clunky moving from committee to council, but um especially with the day of the week change, I just I think the public becomes accustomed to uh certain things and I think there's some value to regularity and um to me this just falls into if it's not broke,
don't fix it. And so, I'm going to I'm going to oppose it. >> Thank you, Chairman Ericson. >> Any other discussion, Mr. Mayor? Yeah, I'll just follow up my initial comments, but part of what I like about the structure is that we tend to have a few
members of the council that end up with expertise and end up being voices that we tend to lean on. It happens with Gabe all the time with finance and maybe it happens more with finance than it does with SPW because you guys always have the longest, most ridiculous meetings ever, but
Sue Hillgard was another great example when Sue was with us and Sue was working with the financial stuff. I think the financial stuff to me is is such a part of the puzzle that is so specific and needs its own handling that when we when we don't separate it out and we're just having it as the full council, I think
we're going to have way more way more questions that are going to become of staff all the time. And I think there's less guidance that comes from having us trust the people that are here with us. We've we've tend to do a very good job of finding individuals that are very good with the finance and it's tend to
work very well on that aspect and that's more of my concern. Whether or not people come and speak about roads is neither here nor there. My first six months I didn't even know what the heck we were talking about half the time. It was all acronyms. So SPW was ridiculous.
It's it's a nonsense place. But uh the financial side of things really makes me nervous. So >> thank you, Mr. I think I'm going to fall on the side of voting against this. As as open as I am to making changes, I
don't know that this much change is necessary. What I think I'd be more available or or more willing to push for is just moving the meetings earlier and maybe taking things off of committees that don't necessarily have to be on the
committees, making those those parts of the meetings a little bit shorter or making them a little more simple. Um, but I'm just one vote. I don't know if we'll fall on that side of it or not. So, but I'm ready to go to a vote unless
anybody has any comments. >> Why don't we do a roll call? >> Yep. Roll call. >> Johnson, >> no. >> Stunn. >> Yes. >> Jagger, >> no. >> Ericson, >> no. >> Evans, >> no. >> Chzach, >> yes. >> OD, >> no. That motion fails. >> Mr. President, >> two. >> Mr. Chz,
>> may I make another motion? >> Yes, sir. >> Um, we just have staff come back at the second meeting in August with a start time of 6:30 on Mondays. and everything else stayed the same except we tried to limit uh some of
those items like you suggested uh to winnow down our committee structure to if it's falls under safety and public works or PNF it may be more uh put it more inclusive on the full committee or council agenda that would be a I guess a uh opinion as far as where it might fit
better. We don't have to be so structured that it always stays in committee. We can put that into a motion to start start time at 6:30. That's pretty much my motion. >> Motion by Chazak >> on Mondays. >> Just to clarify as so the special committees will just move forward
>> same pace. Yep. Understood. Thank you. >> Do we have a second? >> I'll try a second. See you. >> Got a motion by Chzach, second by Stunic. A very strong second. >> Any discussion on that motion? >> Roll call, please.
Seeing no discussion, Tony, please call the role. >> Johnson, >> no. >> Stunn. >> Yeah. >> Jagger, >> yes. >> Erikson, >> no. >> Beans, >> no. >> Chzac, >> yes. >> OD, >> no. >> Jeff, you and I will meet. >> That motion fails. Johnson. >> Uh, Mr. President, I'd like to make a
motion. >> I I'd move that we take no action and maintain the status quo through the end of the calendar year. And I so move. >> Second. >> Motion by Johnson, second by Bevans. >> Any discussion on that motion? >> Yes, Mr. Jez, >> I thought some guys here that are just
got a few months left might have said, "Let's try it. Let's see how it might work." But I'm just terribly It just ain't gonna just no desire to look at something different. I got a story to tell you. There's this little girl. She had a watched her mother cut a piece of meat to put in a roaster. And she said,
"Why do you do that, Mom?" And she says, "Well, your grandma always did it that way. That's why I did it." And so the little girl goes to her grandma. She goes, "Grandma, you mom always cuts the meat she puts it in a roster." And she, so she does it because you did it. Why do you do it, grandma? She says, "Well, it's cuz my mom did it. You're great
grandma. Go ask your great grandma." So, the little girl goes, "Great. Mom and grandma cut the meat before they put it in the roster." What? And they said they do it because you do it. And she says, "Well, I do it so it fits in the pan." >> I hope that's in the paper.
>> Please quote that, Teresa. And that had nothing to do with this motion. Anything to do with the motion. >> Tony >> Johnson, >> yes. >> Stun, >> I'd like to vote no, but I'll I'll vote yes. >> Jagger,
>> yes. >> Erikson, >> yes. >> Feven, >> yes. >> Chzac, >> no. >> OD, >> yes. Motion passes. >> 61. >> Let's do this. >> All right. Moving on to 9C. >> This is the final reading of ordinance 1606, the flood plane ordinance. And I
believe this is James Cranbert. >> Thank you, Mr. President. So, at the June 15th planning commission meeting, the commission reviewed the ordinance and unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance as presented. City council conducted the first reading at the last meeting. So, with that, staff recommends to conduct the final reading of proposed
ordinance 1606 and dispense with the actual reading. Motion to dispense with the actual reading must be unanimous. And second, a motion to approve ordinance 1606. >> Thank you, Mr. Kravick. Anybody have questions for staff before we move forward? If not, uh, Mr. Chzach,
>> so explain the dispensing of the actual reading. What has to happen? Because I'm a little bit resentful right now. I want to see why how long these meetings might take if there's a single council member that continues to not support unanimously the actual reading. >> They read the entire ordinance, Jeff.
>> Oh, and they're pretty long sometimes, aren't they? >> Yep. >> H I wonder what would happen. H >> boy. >> You could have a motion to not read the reading. We've done it before. >> Okay. >> But if you want to go through that, we can. >> But we're just looking for a motion to conduct the final reading606
and dispense with the actual reading. >> Motion by Bevon, second by Stunic. Any discussion? >> All right. All those in favor say I. I. Against. Same sign. >> That motion carries. Next, we're looking for a motion to approve ordinance 16006.
So move >> motion by Bevon, second by Stunnick. >> Any discussion? >> Tony, please call the RO. >> Johnson, >> yes. >> Stunick, >> yes. >> Jagger, yep. >> Erikson, >> yes. >> Beans, >> yes. >> Chzach, >> yes. >> OD,
>> yes. That ordinance is approved. >> Next up, we have number 10, new business, and 10A is a update on fair housing discussion and equal housing opportunity. I believe this is for the HA. We have John Schmer and Eric Sharpenter.
>> Thank you, Chair OD, members of the council. Um, per the Minnesota D Department of Employment Economic Development that administers a small cities development program. The city of Brayenard currently has two small cities grants going. Um, the oldest one from
2023 is for housing rehab, owner occupied and rental housing. part of the requirements for the affirmative affirmatively furthering fair housing is to hold a public hearing so that residents have an opportunity to provide input on the grant. Um so we're here tonight for that and then also for the
current grant. This also serves as a fair housing activity for our current grant for the highway 210 reconstruction project. So any questions for me? >> Questions for John? Anybody? >> Um are you looking for action here? Uh
we just need to hold a public hearing to allow residents of the city to speak should they have anything to speak about regarding the grants. We can answer questions for them. And uh essentially that is just that just to make make sure we're ensuring compliance with the grant
requirements through the deploy department of employment economic development. >> And when did you want to hold the public hearing? >> Uh that's what we're supposed to be doing tonight. >> Tonight? Yep. >> Tonight. >> Unless you guys have questions for these guys first. Otherwise we can move to that public hearing. Thanks, John. >> Thank you.
>> Thanks, John. Doesn't look like there's any questions. So, with that, we will open the public hearing. It is 8:50. So, if you're here to speak on this, please come forward now. If you're online, press star three. I ask again, if you're here to speak on
this, please come forward now or press star three online. Looks like we don't have anybody. So, it is still 8:50, but we will close that public hearing. Thank you for the quick presentation, fellas.
All right, moving on to 10B. This is the first reading of ordinance 1607 amending section 1200 intoxicating liquor and section 1000 appendix A. >> And I believe this one is for Connie Helmet. Before we go ahead
with this one, can we go back to um ordinance 1606 and adopt the resolution for summary publication? >> I move approval. >> Second. >> Motion by Johnson, second by Bevans. >> Discussion. >> I didn't hear what she asked for, so I
don't know what the motion is. >> It's a red. >> Usually we have a motion to publish. >> Thank you. >> Sorry. >> Yep. That's all it is. A formality. >> Yep. >> Any further discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I.
>> Resolution. >> Tony, go ahead. >> Johnson, >> yes. >> Stunick, yes. >> Jagger, yep. >> Erikson, >> yes. >> Beven, yes. >> Chzac, yes. >> Od, >> yes. >> That resolution carries. >> I am here, I tell you. >> All right. 10B. Again, go ahead and take this one away. Okay, >> Connie.
>> So, the Northern Pacific Center is a unique property and under Minnesota liquor laws, Mr. Higgins is only able to serve alcohol at rental venues such as Blacksmith Main by utilizing a caterer's permit under his Notch 8 intoxicating liquor license. Since the spacers are
not compact and contiguous with Notch 8, Mr. Higgins has used a lot of resources with the movement of alcohol to various um venues on the property. Mr. Mr. Higgins sought and was granted special legislation during the 2026 legislative session for a special license to cover
events held at the Northern Pacific Center for a space that is not compact and contiguous. The hope or initial thought was to issue one on sale liquor license for the entire Northern Pacific Center. However, it was deemed not to be in compliance with the legislation as it
specifically allows for sales to person attending events at the NP center. Therefore, the special license would not cover Notch 8, the restaurant, which routinely which where routine daily sales occur. It was determined that notch 8 liquor license could not be
extended to the entire property. The current proposed ordinance would require Mr. Higgins to carry two liquor license, one special license for events and one for on sale license for the notch 8. Additional item staff would like to point out for the council discussion in regard to the proposed ordinance
language is the fee for the northern pacific northern pacific center license. Currently staff is proposing $6,000 plus investigation fee and provided additional information in the agenda request and also discussion of whether or not to hold a public hearing. A public hearing is not required but it
could be held at the August 2nd council meeting. So the recommended action is to discuss the proposed ordinance and the proposed fee for the Northern Pacific Center license. A motion to conduct the first reading of ordinance 1607 and dispense with the actual reading. And if council would like to hold a public
hearing, then a motion to hold a public hearing on proposed ordinance 1607 and August 2nd at 7:30 in the council chambers. >> Thank you, Connie. Does anybody have questions for Connie? >> I do. Okay. So, I uh went out to Notch 8
on Father's Day. Had like a little grill your own steak stone. Sean Midaw was there. Shout out Sean. I considered it quite an event. >> Hey, that's great. >> So, how does that not qualify as an event? >> Was that one day? Do they have that
every day? I mean, >> they have food every day. Yeah. >> Right. You know, we looked at this. We've gone back and forth between the city attorney um staff as well as the alcohol gaming and alcohol enforcement division aed
um and this was the best that we could come up with at this point. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you chairman Johnson. I think I agree with you that anything is an event >> by definition. Putting on your socks is an event. >> But when we did ask the state agency,
they came back with an answer. So this is best solution that I think our staff could come up with. Any further discussion, questions? >> Let's try a motion. >> Yeah, let's do that. >> Let's do that.
>> Yeah. First, I want to tell you a story about my great grandma. >> No, no, thank you. I would not >> I would like to move to conduct the first reading of ordinance6007 dispensed with the actual reading uh including the proposed fee.
>> Second. >> Okay. Motion by Bevon, second by Stunnick. Discussion on that motion. Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. Against. Same sign. >> Motion carries.
>> Mr. Chair, I'd move to have the second reading on August 2nd and forego the public hearing. >> Second. >> Motion by Beavenon, second by Stunic. Discussion. >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I.
>> I. Against. Same sign. >> Motion carries. All right. Moving on to 10 B. 10 C. This is conditional use permits for uh auto repair and reconditioning service at 715 Charles Street. again. Uh, James Cranic, take it away.
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Josh Miles has applied for a conditional use permit to operate an auto repair and reconditioning service at 715 Charles Street, which requires a CUP in the makers and employment district. Uh, the applicant would like to prepare vehicles for resale um at his auto sales lot. Uh,
no members of the public spoke at the public hearing. So with that, the planning commission unanimously recommended approval of the CUP for an auto repair and reconditioning service at 715 Charles Street with the condition to require screening according to zoning code section 515-3-7. And I can answer any questions.
>> Thank you, Mr. Kravick. Does anybody have questions? >> Mr. Chair, I move to approve the conditional use permit for an auto repair and reconditioning service at 715 Charles Street with the condition to require screening according to zoning court section 515-3-7.
>> Second. >> Motion by Beavenon, second by Johnson. Any discussion? >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. >> Again, same sign. >> That motion carries. >> Mr. President, point of order if I could. >> Sure.
>> Uh on Mr. Beaven's motion on the public hearing. What was the date he gave? >> I didn't on the previous item. >> No, that was for the second reading. >> I'm sorry. That's what I meant. >> Go said to forego the public hearing. >> Okay. I'm I >> There's no date for a public hearing.
>> Sorry about that. >> No, that's okay. >> Just clarification. No big deal. >> I was trying to listen here at uh Yeah, >> sorry. >> Moving on from 10 C to 10D. Preliminary platin planned unit development for Brainard Oaks Outlots ENF. Mr. Kravit.
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Level Contracting has submitted applications for a preliminary plat and a development stage plan unit development for outlots ENF in Brainer Oaks. The proposed development will be fully constructed with 10 duplexes. The development has been reviewed by all relevant city
departments and there are no concerns at this time. Uh the development meets density requirements and is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. There were a few members of the public that spoke at the public hearing. Uh their main concerns were increased traffic on Holden Avenue as well as the added
intersection concern from a public safety perspective. Uh planning commission unanimously recommended approval of the prelim preliminary plat and PUD with conditions. Uh so with that the recommended motion are as follows. Motion to approve the preliminary plat
as presented. Motion to approve the PUD development stage plan with the condition that a window be placed to uh be placed next to the entry door. With that, I can answer any questions. >> Thank you, Mr. Krabbit. Does anybody have questions? >> I don't see anybody's hands going up.
>> Move to approve as presented the preliminary plan. >> Second. >> Second. >> Motion by Ericson, second by Chazak and Bevans, >> the team. >> Yep. Any discussion? Johnson. >> I'm really excited to to see this before
us. This is a is a relatively useless lot that's been sitting empty outside of Brainer Oaks for years and it's been on the Briner H's books and we they've been trying to, you know, find a developer, try to even just get rid of it for so
long that to see something come together where we might actually get some development, get 20 units of housing there, that's fantastic. >> Very good. >> And they can have the thrifty white. >> Yeah. >> I >> Thank you, Mr. President. I I did watch
the uh P&Z meeting and I would just um I'd like to say that some of the criticism given uh at that meeting towards our community development director were very inappropriate and misguided. Um I I think the criticisms were leveled against our Mr. Kanick and
he wasn't even the person involved at the time. Uh the citizen that indicated that things were set to them. Of course, it had to do with this lot. um it preceded James' hiring. I do believe so. Uh I just wanted to point that out. I thought it
was uh unfair and uh I don't think our community development director deserve that type of treatment. So just wanted to make that public. >> Thank you for pointing that out, Mr. Chzach. We all know that James has never done anything wrong. >> Not yet anyway. >> Not yet. Mr. Mayor,
>> I was just going to echo uh Councilman Johnson's comments about this lot. I think this is a great uh move forward for the city of Brainard. I also really appreciate the fact that we're just making them add a window. So, now that I know that that's a possibility, I'm going to require that we just add
windows to things all the time. So, >> okay. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. >> Just No, I'll let it go. >> Okay. >> Window in the bathroom. Is that what you're going to say? >> No, >> I was going to explain the window. >> Uh any further discussion on the motion?
government making people put windows in. >> The the window was brought up. Uh it was explained that the plans that were presented were um they they didn't include the window but it was already according to the developer it was already something that had been approved and wasn't in in the
works. So it was going to happen. So I think it was a redundancy that they included that. I think it was because they wanted to make sure that the developer was being forthright which >> I I think he explained it very well. So anyway, >> as quickly as I can to and uh Mr.
President, uh part of the reason for the window was uh we try to avoid the front-facing garage doors and in order to make it look more residential, more aesthetically pleasing, the window was recommended. And as um Councilman Chzik pointed out, the contractor had no no issue with with that and sounded happy
to accommodate that. >> All right. Very good. Any further discussion? Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I >> against same sign. Motion carries. Next, we're just looking for a motion to approve the PUB development stage plan
with the condition that the window >> be next to the entry door. >> Second by Chzach, second by Bevans. >> You guys want to talk about the window a little bit? >> Are we got that covered? >> We're good. All right, let's go to a
vote. All those in favor say I. I. >> Against. Same sign. >> That motion carries. >> All right. Next up, we have our additional item. >> Mr. Chair, >> I apologize. Can I ask a question of Mr. Cranic or of Tad, >> are these are these to buy? Do you own
half of a house like a townhouse or is it a rent? >> Yes and no. >> Yeah. Yes and no. James, can you I'm going to >> Yes. Thank you, council. So, um my understanding is um through the contract, I believe he has to own them for a certain number of years. Um but
then the idea is that in the future um they could potentially be bought um by residents as as their own property. >> So they're starting off as >> so it start out as a rental and then potentially move to home ownership. >> Gotcha. Thank you. >> Good. All right. Next is the additional
item 10E is uh discussion on appointments oaths of office by commission members. I think this is Mr. Chzach. >> Yeah. So um I went back and I I looked at uh when Mr. Joerger was appointed and the meeting opened up with a call to order and the first thing that happened
is he was sworn into office. Okay. So I got appointed to the H board and call to order there was a um if I'm not mistaken roll call and approval of agenda and then I got sworn into office. So I was
missing out on something technically as a new member. Could I I guess the question I'd have for the council, would it be appropriate for me to have vote it even though I wasn't sworn in? >> And that's what I was faced with. And the reason I'm bringing this up because
I see the Crowing County H board and I know we have no say. I'm just bringing this to up is maybe at future uh any other of our committees and commissions where there's appointments made. I I hope we follow that structure. So roll you you call the meeting order and then
the oath should be given. It it only makes sense. But in instances where um like for myself just back in May, the meeting had started, the roll call was taken, the agenda was approved, and then it was my appointment. So like four or five I see on Crowing County, they got number five as the oath of office for
their new member that supposedly got appointed by the county board at their last meeting. So I I I was going to ask the attorney if that would be appropriate to do it that way because I I think we did it right when Mr. Jagger obviously got the vote on the agenda, approval, everything. He was just call
to order o both of office. Now he's sitting at the table. He can vote on everything. >> Yep. >> So I just kind of wanted to make that a point to see if our H staff is here. I I would maybe ask that that be looked at in the future. So >> administrator Broyals will bring that
question to our attorney. >> Okay. >> Back to us. But yeah, I I agree that the proper way would be if there are any new members on council or commissions, the first thing you do at that meeting be after calling to order is to swear that person in. That's the way I've always seen it done here. So, >> and and that's why I wanted to see if
somebody here would have a difference of opinion on that based on how do you officially vote on anything if you haven't been sworn in yet. Sure. That was the point. >> Johnson. >> Yeah. No, I I agree with what what Jeff's observed there. I think the proper avenue to fix this or or make it
the same across the city is go to our council rules of decorum because in the rules of decorum, we have the order of business for meeting that we follow and that we expect all the commissions to follow. So, if we just amend the rules of decorum to put oath of office if necessary after call to order, then that
would that should solve that that issue. >> Yep. Very good. >> Um, in that case, I would move that we come back if that isn't already in there in our OD that we uh we come back with that amendment to that and vote on it at our next meeting to approve it. >> Second.
>> Motion by Chaz, second by Johnson. Any discussion on the motion? >> Just a question. I I've I've been on a few committees. I've never been sworn in. >> You're illegal. >> Never been sworn into the I've been on the ADA five times. Never been sworn in.
I'm on the library board. Library board, I think, might have a stroke, but uh it wasn't sworn into the a to the arboratum. I don't think the arborum knows if I can vote or not. >> Oh, should probably figure that out, too, then. >> That's you know, it's a crazy world. I
just bring that up as a point. I certainly support the motion, but I don't think I don't think all our boards >> Tony, could you go back >> the ARB isn't one of our boards. >> Tony, could you go back and and cancel all of Kelly's votes for everything he's ever voted on, please?
>> Please, I would like to revote on a couple. >> All right, that's a good point. Any further discussion? >> Seeing none, let's go to a vote. All those in favor say I. I. Against. Same sign. >> Motion carries. That does it for new
business tonight. Next up, we have number 11, staff reports. >> Tony Gage, >> nothing. >> Still nothing. >> Chief Rundy, >> nothing further to report. >> Sean, you want to tell us about anything at it or ask us to turn our computers
in? >> Yeah. Well, just uh we'll get you on the schedule to replace your laptops. >> Thanks, Sean. Max Hannon, CLC. Teresa, you want to tell us about anything at the dispatch? Hra, you're here in person. Anything else? Thank you.
>> Can we still ignore him if he's here? >> Johnny Helman. >> Nothing. >> James Kravick. >> Thank you, Mr. President. A couple items. >> He's always got something. >> Always got something. >> So, um, as I stated in an email to city council, lumber one, the developer interested in the city hall parking lot has withdrawn the request uh to develop
the parking lot as they're working through multiple site design uh layout options and cannot make the project financially fe uh viable. So with that parking lot will continue to be listed um for uh other potential developers. Um then the second item I have is an application was submitted to allow food
trucks in the traditional neighborhood to district. Planning commission considered this at their last meeting and they believe that it may work um but opted to make a motion to extend the review period um as further regulations may need be needed to help minimize impact to surrounding residential
properties. Uh again, the TN2 district is heavily made up of residential properties, but it does have that mix of commercial um uses as well. So, just wanted to make the council aware of that um uh agenda item. That's everything. >> Thank you, James. Moving on. Next, I'm actually going to skip over to Paul
Sandy so he can introduce our new engineer. >> Go ahead, Mr. Sandy. >> Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So, um with me tonight is it was our first day today, Jen Schuman. She is the new city engineer, deputy public works director. Uh we spent all day today um getting her
kind of familiarized with the city and the projects we have ongoing um a lot of the changes that are happening uh kind of citywide and um I'm looking forward to continue to um help her get acquainted with everything and uh hit the ground running here for the I'll call it the second half of our
construction season. >> Very good. Thank you, Mr. Sandy. Jennifer Schuman, thank you for being here tonight and joining us and welcome aboard. Did they swear you in today? No, they did not. >> Okay, you're still free then. >> They just swore at her.
>> Have to vote. Welcome aboard. Uh, next up, Administrator Broyals. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Um, you I just like to take opportunities when I can to to brag about staff. Staff is doing a great job. Jennifer's the latest addition. We're very grateful to have her. Zach starts a week from now. Uh, I
just want to call out Connie. Conniey's been working very hard, as you know. She puts out very detailed, very, very well thoughtout deliverables. She's been working hard on audit and budget. So, thank you for all your hard work. Sean's super busy. It stuff's going all over the place. I don't understand any of it, but he does, and I'm glad he's here. So,
staff's doing a great job. They're here to serve you, council, and I just want to call them out. Um, they're doing a great job. That's all I have. >> Thank you, Mr. Broyals, and thank you to our staff. Next up, we have the mayor's report.
>> Yeah. Can I be sworn out? How about that? You sworn out. >> Could make that happen. >> I've been sworn out many, many, many, many, many, many times. Uh, couple things. I, you know, congratulations to Big Window and your big win tonight. Uh, PNF chair. I actually I made a note
here. You noticed earlier I said PNF chairs and I mentioned two PNF chairs. I mentioned Su Hilgart and I mentioned you. And there was one PNF chair in between that I did not mention. He was not so good at his job. That was me. I was the PNF chair and I did not mention myself. Some of them were better than
others. Uh, also Jeff, you you gave a nice story about um cooking of roasts. I I'd hate you should look up why train tracks are as wide as they are. It's interesting. Very interesting. I'm just going to put that at you. You at home as well. >> Look it up as well. Roman chariots. But
why Roman chariots? >> Because they covered a halfway around the world. >> It's it's the width of two horses butts. That's how wide train tracks are. >> What else are we doing tonight? That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. Thank you, Jeff. >> Mayor's report. >> I want a new mayor.
>> And then lastly, I just want to say that, you know, we we've had some events in the city uh that have happened recently. And uh uh a more somber note. Um you know, sadly, I I I've had some really long conversations with my family
and uh with the people around me. And recently, I've I've just noticed as a man that is involved in social media as a as a job, as my career, that's what I do. I understand social media. I am a I am a salesman. I come from that world. I
understand that world. Um it's all nonsense. I hope everybody knows that. That it's all fake. All of it. And it's set up to keep you entrenched. It's set up to keep you engaged. It's set up to irritate you and and to pick under your skin.
And I want to say that as a society, we have failed our youngest generation and we have not set up a world that is in its best interest. And sadly in our in our uh community, we've we've had a few deaths that have been related to issues with with things that shouldn't be
happening. They happen. And it used to be that you could tell kids, you know, high school is high school and those things happen. and and and for these kids even younger um that those attitudes and those those those that type of language and that communication
is something that used to be held within um a certain subsect in a certain within walls let's say that and now there's no walls it's everywhere and sadly we have created that my generation has created that us as adults have created that and
I just want to say that as the mayor I want to take it upon on myself in my own life to try and and come up with better solutions for those types of things. And not saying that I I want to take on the responsibility of trying to figure out how to to stop these things from
happening, but we as adults have to step back and say, what is it that we're doing? What is the world that we're creating for people? And why is it that we're continuing down this path? Um, it it shouldn't take the loss of young life for us to make those decisions or for us
to realize those things. But as someone that sees behind the curtain on a regular basis and someone who makes money understanding how to manipulate the internet and how to manipulate your eyeballs and how to get you to click on things, it's a joke. It's all a joke.
And it's sad that it that we've allowed ourselves to become that. So, I hate to take up more time at the end of the meeting, but I think it's it it's it's strong enough of of a scenario for us to have to do something from our own perspective internally and and amongst
ourselves, but it's strong enough in that we as a society have to start looking at these things from a much greater perspective. and to the families of of the young girls and to the friends of the young girls and and to anyone that has ever dealt with those types of things. Um, every single morning I wake
up and there are there there are dog tags hanging on my my mirror because my wife's brother committed suicide. And I will always remember the the moment when
I woke up to her that day. And I cannot express how much it means to see our community come together. But at some point, we have to take a step back and we have to stand up and say we can't
just continue to have our lives be run by machines and by the desire to get you to click on one more thing. And it it's sad and I and I want to see us as a society step up. And as a city, we can't
do much in terms of those types of things. But what we can do as individuals is is say enough is enough and we have to come up with better solutions of how to be better for one another and how to remove ourselves from these um sadly these apparatus. So turn
the screens off folks. Put them down. Whatever you got to do. >> Mine's in my truck. >> Yeah. Put them down, you know. And if that means you don't get to watch my podcast, then that means you don't get to watch my podcast. But at the same time, it's not it's not worth it. It's not worth it to have these in front of
our kids. It's not worth it to have um ourselves be so attached to them. So, um you know, God bless everybody and and I hope that things get better. But to the families out there, I just really want to say um it's sad and we can do better. So,
>> thank you, Mr. Mayor. Very important message. I'd like to address that as well before we move on from that subject. Pay attention to what your kids are doing online. Pay attention to what's going on at school. Talk to them. And if your kid is one of those kids
that's causing those issues, discipline them. Be parents. It's up to us as adults and as a community to try to to try to recognize that, to try and correct those behaviors, to try and make these kids understand. It's not something that we should just brush off.
It's never been more obvious. So, thank you. All right, moving on to council member reports. Stunick, >> I've got a big thing. The mayor forgot. What's Thursday? >> This is perfect for you.
>> I'm going to call in the mayor to explain it. You got 30 seconds. >> I got 30 seconds. Uh, police versus firefighter softball game. I said previously that we're going to shuffle the teams. It sounds like we're not going to shuffle teams, folks. It sounds like firefighters are stepping up to the plate against the police. We're going
showdown again. 5:30 gates open 6 pm national anthem prayer as well and uh it's gonna be a heck of an ordeal. >> I don't want >> anything else. >> I just did it. >> Good job. >> Chzac,
>> thank you Mr. President. Uh I um as I mentioned earlier, I did start serving on the uh H Brainer HR board and I I I'm working with a group of people that are well receptive to change and new ideas. And here's why. I I mean far more than
it appears this council is. But um at the first meeting, I saw that they did not have public forum or public comment period on their agenda. And I just made a comment as to why not. And by golly, at their meeting in June, it's there. I also see that the agenda for their meeting tomorrow night with the Crowing
County HR board, they've included it on there as well. So, kudos to the staff at the H for doing that. I I don't know if they consulted with the chair of both of those committees, but uh that's that's reception to a little change. That's
very welcome, at least in my world, and I want to thank him for that. >> Thank you, Mr. Chzach, Mr. Beaven. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just two quick things. On Wednesday the 8th of July, I attended the mindot meeting on the highway 210 pro progress report. They uh
expected to be pouring concrete on the roundabouts within 10 days of that meeting. And by golly, the first roundabout you could practically drive on. So they went from moving piles of dirt for two months just shuffling them around. It looks like we have a road pile to get
it smooth. >> I know. It looks nice. >> Did they black grass? Yeah, weeds. No, this is a Mindot project. They they don't plant grass. No deal. >> Um, so that's kind of exciting. That looks like it's moving along. And I don't know how much work our staff puts
into it, but uh it's looking good down on the east end of town. And if you didn't notice today at the old auto import, the sold sign went up. And there's all kinds of rumors on the street, but that's nice to see that large piece of property, I'm sure, moving into something. So, all kinds of
excitement in the city of Brainard. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Beavens. Jagger, >> nothing tonight. >> Thank you, sir. Chairman Johnson. >> Yeah. I don't know if you're all paid attention to the consent calendar, but you uh all authorized to sell your computers tonight, so do make an appointment with Sean to get those
turned in. >> He forced their hand. >> All right, Chairman Ericson. >> Nothing further. Thank you. >> All right. Thank you guys. Um I don't have anything else to add tonight either. I'm looking forward to a couple more days, next couple days that aren't going to be 90°. So enjoy that
everybody. Looking for a motion to adjurnn. >> So move second >> by Stunnick, second by Bevans. All those in favor say I. >> I. We arejourned.
