Yes. >> Sandy. >> Yes. >> Shaper. >> Shape. >> Here. >> Burns. >> Yes. Pledge of allegiance. If you could all stand, please. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right, we're going to move on to the approval of the agenda. Do we have any changes or additions? Mr. Chair,
>> uh, couple changes. >> Um, >> one being in the Lions Park. >> Oh, >> yeah. 8 I >> signage. >> Okay. So 8 I would be Lions Park changes.
8D is capital and operating budget and then 8D the capital and the operating budget discussion >> capital and operating >> and then I have two unfinished items as
well. Um update on the weed and feed program and implementation of parkboard priorities B7 C and D. Do you want them together or separate? >> Separate please. Thank you. update to
weed and feed 7D was what? Uh implementation of park board priorities. Okay. Do we have any other changes to the agenda? >> I'll make a motion to approve the amended agenda. >> I'll second that motion. >> We have a motion and a second. All those
in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. same sign. Motion passes. Number five, consent calendar. Notice to the public, all matters listed are considered routine by the board 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 board votes on the emotion to be adopted by roll call. Consent calendar. >> Like to pull one item from the consent calendar. That's 5G for more discussion. >> Okay. We have any further discussion? With that, I'll make a motion to approve the
consent calendar. >> I will second the motion. >> All right, we have a motion and a second discussion. >> Um, I didn't see any documentation about the objection of the VFW team. >> Um, that was what was emailed out. Can
we can we get that added into the packet? >> We can, but it was emailed to all the board members and >> Oh, it's just that Yeah, it's the same one. Okay. Cool. Okay. >> All right. We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion?
>> Lisa, roll call, please. >> Miller, >> yes. >> Sandy, >> yes. >> Schaefer Stripe, >> yes. >> Burns, >> yes. >> All right. Motion passes. 5G approval of Briner Lakes Pride event at Gregory Park. >> So, I guess the one thing that I wanted
to um get a little more clarity on is the request to drive into the park. and um it looked like they said they wanted to wonder truck wanted to drive in and um to the center of the park on concrete
to set up and then clean up. Historically, the park board's policy has been to not allow vehicles driving it into Gregory Park and I wanted to bring that up to the board to get thoughts. >> Okay, any discussion? Lisa,
>> this was now changed. Um, I just got an email from Brainard Lakes Pride. They are retracting their request to drive into the park. >> Okay, with that then I'll make a motion to approve. >> I will second. >> I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all
those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Opposed. Same sign. Motion passes. Okay. Uh, moving on to the public forum. This is the time allocated for citizens to bring matters not on the agenda to the attention of the board. Time limits may be imposed. I will open the public
forum at 4:04 p.m. Yes, if you can state your name, please for us. >> My name is uh Scott Chilto. I'm here to talk in rebuttal, I guess, to last month's meeting about the softball conversation that was had in front of
you guys. Um, my main points today are just to talk about the health of the league, not to go us versus them. There's been a lot of talk over the last year with that team versus kind of the rest of the league. And I don't want to get into a he said, she said type of a thing, but I've been managing and
playing in both the Tuesday and Wednesday league for the last 23 years. And the league is in a very healthy place right now. When I first started, it was uh a lot of bad sportsmanship, a lot of taunting, a lot of stuff like that. And as the league has grown, as
we've gone through different uh directors and different rule changes, things have gotten much much better. Um some of the people that weren't able to make it tonight that have been playing as long as I have and maybe even JD have seen those changes. Um I've played in both Tuesday and Wednesday managed on
both. And uh through Kayla, Bonnie, and Katie, the rules that are in place right now are there for a reason. And the reason why that they've been that way for I would say probably 10 years is because they work. Long time ago, there was no rules about Wednesday, Tuesday
players playing in each league. Then we tried for a while to limit the amount of just Wednesday players without cards. It made it hard for people to fill out rosters. Then we adopted the current rule right now, which is limiting the amount of players that have a card or a
rating given to you by the state. A a carded player is basically somebody that would go to multiple tournaments per year. It's somebody that lives, breathes, and dies softball. Wednesday is just a night of the week. It doesn't mean that you're better than anybody else. A lot of these guys play both
leagues. They don't have cards. They just are available to play in both. There's been a lot of talk about Wednesday is the competitive league. I hate hearing that because Tuesday is competitive as well. There might not be as many skilled players as the top tier Wednesday players, but there are lots
and lots of Wednesday players that play on Tuesdays that help fill out rosters. Um, there is a website, USA softball, where you can go and look these up. And in a very short time, it's a public website that anybody can look at. In a
short time, I found 20 players that have cards in Brainer that are just C and above, which are the players that are limited to our Tuesday league. And out of those 20, only four of them are registered on Tuesdays and only three of
them actually play. And it's been that way for quite a few years. So, the way that the rule is written right now, I believe, and a lot of these guys that showed up with me, the rule is working. A lot of those top tier players aren't playing on Tuesdays anymore when they
used to. Um, just as far as competitiveness, I kind of printed something up here for you guys. That is just an overview of the standings right now on Tuesday. And outside of one team, it's pretty much a
log jam. It's something that you would see in any adult sport. And if you go to the next page there, what I did is I broke down all 100 games that have been played this year in this year's season. As you can see how I broke it down there, we have 39 games that have been
won by four or less runs. If you add in five to 10, which is still not a 10-run rule game, 60 out of the 100 games have not been a 10-run rule, which means they got to play their full seven innings, or they got to play their full 1h hour aotment of time.
There has been 29 games that were somewhere between 10 and 15 runs, which could have been a 10-run rule. There's only been nine games that were won by 15 or 20 runs that would be considered a blowout. Blowouts happen. The Yankees lose by 18 every once in a while. It's
an adult competitive league. We're here to compete. So, just kind of wanted to to show that out. The last thing on there, there's been two forfeits this year. Both the same both forfeits were given against the same team by two different umps for unprofessional
behavior on the field. You guys can figure out which team that was. Um, the competitiveness of our league is is known around the state. We have men's, women's, co-ed, over 35 teams that come back with state championships every single year. Kayla
plays on our Tuesday team. There are five girls that play on men's teams right now with men's equipment by men's rules that compete. Pitchers, outfielders. People take pride in how good the Brainer League is. It should be a source of pride and enjoyment that you can
compete in this league. So, is there any other questions for me on that? I know I don't know if any of the other guys I kind of just told all these guys that I would speak first and they could fill in fill in the blanks, but the league's in a really good place. We all have a
really great time. Everybody respects the umps. Um, I know the gentleman that was here before was talking about one night that there was their team was getting teased because they lost a bad game. I don't agree with that either. That shouldn't have happened.
Unfortunately, there was a loophole when Haley was hired. It is not Haley's fault, but that team should have been moved up the year before. They never should have been playing last year. They should have been moved up to Wednesday. They were being unprofessional and not being good sports. And unfortunately
that other team overheard them. The team that's been doing all the complaining is as you can see on there right in the middle of the pack. So >> yeah, thank you Scott. I appreciate the work you put in and the the time and research for that. >> Okay, >> that's very helpful. >> All right. Thank you.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Do we have anyone else for the public forum? Seeing none, I will close the public forum at 4:11 p.m. Moving on to unfinished business 7A YMCA
fall SWO pitch softball program. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Here we um the community action had to uh cancel the the girls softball and the YMCA is picking that up and as you can see they are getting a little bit more organized
as we start approaching those dates and we have worked with them and given them dates at Buffalo Hills and the registration is opening actually it's already opened and uh so they are organized they're ready to go my only
question that we haven't disced is a possible amendment to their contract regarding financial contributions. Um, I'm not sure if they will do this uh just because they want to pick it up or if they will be requesting that. That's
something that's on my to-do list and I can bring that to the board next month or I can even probably email it and get that organized that way. Thoughts and questions for me? >> Any questions for staff? Jonathan,
>> uh, do we know again breakdown wise how much we were giving community education for this program? >> I did not break it down. Um, but I did send out that email regarding the percentages of Baxter play and brainer
play and it was not appropriate. Later in the agenda, I um I want to address that. Um, but right now just to balance workload, it's September that I'd like to for staff to really dive into that
and provide a strong recommendation moving forward or not necessarily a strong recommendation but an accurate re uh uh what has transpired as far as u moving forward. Should we be more based
off uh activities that they provide and they will be compensated for those activities not just a lump sum and it's per activity. >> I yeah and I tend to agree with that and of course we can put the responsibility on the requesttor of the money to give us that breakdown as well. So totally
comfortable with that. We don't have to kind of pull it out anywhere like they know how much it costs to operate these programs and of course costs increase annually but they can come back with those requests right >> throughout those programs. So, thank you. >> Any other questions for staff?
>> The only thing I have is make sure you tell the YMCA thank you for picking up this program for girls softball. Okay, moving on. 7B provide city council advisory approval of Winonfest contract for the Millsfield. And then for our board members, you also see that the
special event application was on your seat up here. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. and the Lonfest organizers are here and I'll be asking them to come up to the podium and and speak a little bit on this. But first, I just like to we sort of moved away from the contract um because we
were going to be entering into a 5-year contract because we would like them to have a staple here and be grounded here in the in in the Brainer area. So, we really want to work with them and so much so that um we've been looking at
the Millsfield. We met out there. We met out there with the police chief, the the fire marshal, and we also met with them today just getting more organized and prepared for, you know, this event uh taking place. Um but when we when we met out there, we looked at the field. Do we
have to install a new fence? Since that time, we went out there and we looked at it. we can we can get that uh stage in there without having without asking them to put forth a $5,000 request and put in a fence that we don't necessarily need. We can Troy, as you know, he's very
handy with with his gates and stuff and uh we can get in there and do that and and so much so that we want this event there. Uh Sean with our streets, he has a loader. So instead of having a a pickup or duly come in there and drop off that stage, we can bring in one of
our equipments where we have wide tracks and we spread out that load and we don't have any divots and and ruts in that field that we are willing to do that for this event and making sure that we don't damage our our our valuable asset there at Millsfield. And so just regarding
that initial contract, I just want to explain why we are going down that road to get a contract is because these gentlemen are are putting forth a a lot of organization and they want to protect their their time and investment into
this this event and we I recognize that. But for right now, I think just the special event application, get our feet wet with one year and then we'll we can come back to the board and request. Maybe we want to just go yearbyear or
maybe we do want to do a five-year contract. Let's get our first our feet wet with one year and then we can go from there. There are some uh logistics regarding uh uh police and fire, you know, having crowd control managers and and security on site. We are working
through those logistics right now with both uh fire chief and and the police chief and we are going to be reviewing our sound ordinance, our our crowd control, our crowd ordinance. Anything over 10:00, as you are well aware that if there's a crowd, that's an ordinance
and we need to have city council review that and sus suspend that for a couple days for this event. But our police chief just wants to make sure things are in line, very well organized for the public safety of everyone involved. Not only the spectators, but just the
general public. The organizers, um, I'm just going to, uh, just commend them in the sense of looking forth for the neighbors. I mean, this concert is going to be going forth after 10:00 11, you know, I just indicating midnight. uh
with their proposal. They're saying, "No, Mike, we're going to be done at 11:45." Speakers are off. I'm just indicating midnight on the application. And uh but I'm concerned about the neighbors. So are they. They are going to be saying, "Hey, Mike, we're going to walk that neighborhood in the back there
by that by uh Rice Lake. They're going to walk that neighborhood. Give those individuals some tickets. They may not attend, but their grandchildren may attend. And now, you know, their grandkids are are, you know, happy and pleased that, you know, the grandfather gave them some tickets for for the
concert. So, they're just looking out for the best interests of Brainard also. So, that's really nice. It's comforting for me to know that they're looking out for the best interest um with that. They've got a strong um security force and uh in that. So other than that, we
are just again moving from a contract to a special event application because we're just looking at one year to get our feet wet and then we'll re-evaluate what do we want to modify. Do we want to move forward uh with a gate or not? The
other thing I want to ask and then uh Devin, Ron, I'll let you guys go to the podium is uh we really wanted to make sure that this event is successful. the first year is always very taxing just even with like your business your first
five years with any business you barely make a profit. So we are um I'm asking the board the park board here if we could give them Lump Park as an incentive to to gain tickets. This is in midepptember or I'm not sure I haven't
asked uh Lisa to look at the past uh Lumpark uh attendance if it was I don't think it was packed uh but that's something that she can do and uh I would like I would be in favor of waving the fees and and we already put that on
administrative uh hold for these individuals and they then could sell tickets with a package deal you know uh campsites with a ticket And they are also um again looking out for the best interest of Brainard. They've already
hired a taxi cab service to help transport individuals back and forth. And there's a small cost with that. But again, if for me, I don't have to worry about parking. I'm going to just hire, you know, jump on that bandwagon and have my taxi bring me back to my camper
and I can just walk in and go to bed. Um but uh so if the board can also have after we hear from Loonfest if you would approve staff waving those fees for for Lump Park Campground for just for this
year. Next year we can re-evaluate it. Maybe we want to charge them a half rate or whatever. I don't know. That's something that the board can can discuss. But that's something just as when you're starting an event like this, there's a lot of expenses. there's a lot of organization that goes into it and
the success really rest on them and the dollars and cents. You know, I we're not going to get into that, but they have to look at that. So, I want to look out for their best interest also. And so, I will be asking the board if we can move forward with waving the lump uh
campground fees for the for this event uh solely just for this year. With that, Kevin, Ron, whoever is comfortable at the mic. Um, >> hello board. >> Hello. >> Do you have questions for me?
>> How many people are you expecting? I know you've done some other concerts in the past. What are you expecting? >> So, in in previous concerts, we did it at the Armory located here in Brainer. Um, we sold out both shows, uh, but due to space, uh, we capped about 500 including staff. Um, this year we were
just looking to grow. Um, in a perfect world, we see anywhere from 800 to a,000 each day, which would be nice. Um, also one more thing I did want to add. Uh, so we do partner with charity. Um, every time we sell a cocktail or a drink, a
water, a pop, we donate a dollar to the Vigilant Guardians that are also located in town here, which is a veterans group. Um, but going forward, we will always be partnered with a charity. whatever we do in any of the parks, that's something that we're very firm on, and we won't do
it if we're not with the charity. So, it's it's a win-win for both the community and for us. >> Um my my thought is, and you guys probably know I've been involved with a lot of concerts in the past, um you said that you would have seven to 10 bathrooms with a thousand spectators,
and you're going to have drinking involved. I would encourage you to probably have more restrooms than that. I would just look at that as an increase. Yeah, that was just based off of the the required numbers. Yeah. Um but I mean that's definitely amendable. >> Yeah, just as just as my experience, I
know it's you hit the requirements, but I would just for ease of >> absolutely >> when you got a thousand people waiting to use the restroom. >> Yeah, >> there's a lot going on. >> Any other questions for Devon or Ron?
>> U yes, >> I think just with insurance. So typically, right, it's liability insurance for like during the event, but it seems like you'd leave stuff there overnight because there's two days. >> Um, from what I understand, our insurance is encompassing for the two days.
>> So like if somebody >> I can get I can get like confirmation for you on that, but I'm I'm sure it's it's for the two days. >> It just it is for two days. >> Cool. Oh, yeah. I just didn't want like the freak hail stom come in the middle of the night and like, oh, the city broke, right? That's I don't want to get
into that situation. though. >> Any other questions? >> Thank you for your time. >> Yeah, thank you. >> Thanks, Mike. >> I just want to reiterate, Lisa is working uh with their insurance company and no offense guys, we have to in make
sure that every te is crossed, every every eye is dotted, and we are going to be contacting them, making sure that everything is is, you know, confirmed, legitimate. we just have to protect and and so Lisa is is on top of that and
also with their liquor license that's upstairs with finance here. I know Connie and Pam are strong with their procedures uh before it moves forward and like I said they are u they have to have a nonprofit involved with uh that
liquor license and they're already uh doing that. Um, yes. Yeah, >> Andrew. One other thing that comes to mind. So, we had Habitat reach out a couple years ago and they wanted some
campsites donated and we chose not to. So, I get the need here, right? We want to help this event get off the ground, but how is this different from that situation for us policy-wise? What was the rationale for
uh denying or what was their request and what was the rationale for not doing it? >> I believe we didn't have a policy for nonprofits seeking like a donated service or campground, right? It's their only real item. It's not service, I
guess. Obviously, I wasn't here two years ago, but I would question having a policy for anything that could or could not potentially happen. I don't want to be policied out. Um, especially with the time of year on this one, I personally don't have a problem with it. I feel
with an event that's going to be an economic boost to the city and I'm all for that. >> Yeah, I think just speaking on specifically the nonprofit thing, we had just kind of gone through a wave. Not speaking on I have to abstain from any discussion on this. um just to be clear,
but um the nonprofit specifically, I think that there was a lot of conversation like that year specifically or a lot of like pickle ball tournaments for um like Syria music festival, the Habitat for there were so many folks that came to us and I think it was just
kind of a general like hey we don't really have a policy on this but we've already denied a bunch of nonprofits the ability to use their facilities for free. Um, so we just kind of kept that in lock step that particular year. So, um, I don't think we ever refined it or
changed any of that. Um, you know, providing those free services. But I mean, again, I that was that that year where that guy wanted, you know, three pickle ball courts for two hours and we were like, yeah, she's like, I'm going to make maybe 300 bucks on this and nonprofit and uh, we denied that. So, we
kind of just stayed with that theme throughout any of those requests, even via nonprofit. So um just again context on the denial of nonprofit. >> We have any other discussion? >> I don't I think feel one way or the other. I just want us to be aware of
kind of our past decisions so we're not we're a little predictable for the public. >> Mr. President, >> if I could also, we would be um we should probably contact our attorney making sure that we could wave fees and
there may be a procedure that I'm not aware of. So, that's something that um we should probably reach out to. And again, this will be going forth to the city council and it's we want to just touch it here and then it will be going
forth on August 4th to city council and by that time I'll have a better um understanding. So thank you Connie for bringing that up. >> I suppose contextually I I don't know if the event insurance does cover campground goers then
>> that would be on us. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Just >> and just to reiterate during our meeting today, the Ron and and Kevin or Devin, they indicated that their security would do a sweep over there. Again, just
looking out for the best interest of everyone. Uh so that was really a just a good, you know, touch on the event. So, I think today based on the city attorney comments and then this going to
city council, we would be looking at a conditional approval from our board pending those other items. Conditional approval or denial, whichever we would have for a motion. I would entertain a motion if someone would like to make one.
I'll make a motion to provide contingent approval on the uh Lonfest event. Um and that contingency is related to um reviewing the waiver of fees at the
campground and ensuring that the insurance requirements that the city has set forth are met and that we're um call rock solid as far as insurance is concerned. >> Second. >> Second. We have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion on the
motion? >> I think we just need to call the role when we when we vote. That's >> roll. >> All right, we will do a roll call vote on this, please. >> Miller, >> abstain. >> What? >> I'm abstaining. >> Oh,
>> yes. >> Okay, Sandy, >> yes. >> Schaefer Shape, >> yes. >> Burns, >> yes. All right, we have a motion that has been approved by roll call vote. Moving on to 7C,
update to the weed and feed program. >> Yes. So, at the May meeting, Mike, we had talked about tracking down that contract for the weed and feed provider. Um, I didn't see anything in the June packet. I wasn't able to make it, but I was curious what our service is like or if we're
able to if it's still going on or kind of what it statuses. >> Yes, I apologize. I have not researched that. Um, and I know Troy has working on a fertilizer uh program and I would assume that it's that, but I will
research more and get on that. I apologize. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Was that on the last agenda? It >> was in the May meeting. >> Was it >> the workshop, right? >> No, it was at a it was at a board meeting. >> I think you were on Zoom, Mike.
>> Yeah, I think I was on a vacation. Um, so very specifically, are we still doing it? Is it still up and operational? >> And what are we covering? >> And what are we covering? Was there a dollar amount that we had in that? >> There was an annual budget that was set
forth in our capital plan quite a few years in a row uh that was being used. Yeah, it was 25,000 I believe. Um, >> and I think it came up because of the >> the seeding of Hills. Yeah. and we're thinking, okay, well, can we pill for
some of the money out of there? And we I guess we just don't really know how we spend it. So, um it was a little bit more clarity on that one, >> right? >> Yeah. It's row 19 in the capital spreadsheet you sent out, you have 25,000 for weed and feed, >> right?
>> I'm just not sure if we are using that same vendor or not. I know just uh in speaking, we met with Troy and that we still want to fertilize. I look at that as just fertilizing. I think specifically you're indicating that very specific vendor.
>> No, there was a weed and feed program that was outside of fertilizer that we were previous board selected multiple green space parks to start actively managing turf grasses. And there was, I think,
maps made at the time with square footages. And then we reached out to multiple vendors to um get quotes to do that. And then based on those numbers, we were going to trim it back to less priority areas and figure out what we
can get done for that $25,000 mark. And it's okay. >> I think usually like five applications, four or five applications, >> right, >> a year. >> Okay. Oh, yes. Thank you. >> Okay. So hopefully we have an update for that at our August meeting.
>> Yes. >> All right. Moving on. 7D park board priorities. >> Yeah. So again um in the May meeting we had talked about kind of the priority list from that May workshop
um and getting some details on the implementation steps. Uh >> getting details on the what >> implementation of right our top priority is grass. So what what steps are we taking to improve grass in the parks or improve >> okay
>> some of the other priorities? >> Yeah. I again I I was this at a previous meeting that we discussed that we would do this. >> I believe that was part of our workshop. We wanted the parkboard priorities and something similar to how the council's
doing it but not exactly >> right. >> Just like a running list of hey this is where we're at on this and this and this on the priority list. Oh, okay. Sorry. I wish I would have been briefed. I guess I was not ready for this. Um, so I apologize again. I'll have to research
that and just get more because we are, as you can see, our parks, we are Troy and his crew are dialed in. And what just at a high level we are focusing at uh you know for the one event at Gregory
with the the car show we really dialed in Gregory Park. We were all h all hands on deck not only just our parks guys but our streets guys were were there and then we moved over to Buffalo and we moved over to JC. So we are you know
moving that because there's no way that we can handle all parks at that level. we just don't have the staff, resources, our equipment to handle all parks. So, we were just spot doing each one as as events come up. And but that's something
that we can definitely dive into to get a more detailed plan on each one of those priorities and in our action steps um with each one of those. That will be that'll be a that's a lift for us to really dial in with that. Um, I
just want to be transparent in in that request, but we will work on that and we will get something for the next park board and that will be a a lift for us to do that. It won't be to the level that I will want it to be at, but it
will be a start and that will be something that we can just be ongoing, if you will, and I think we can just constantly be ticking away at that to get that level. Um, so yes, I will we'll get started on that.
>> Thank you. >> Any other questions? I think that would I think that would probably solve it. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Moving on. New business 8A, approval to seek grant to extend the height of fence line at Memorial softball fields. >> You want this? >> Yeah. So we are staff has uh been
discussing the safety at our softball fields and uh with individuals in between the the fields one and two um with an individual with an overthrow from first base or third base. There's there's uh and we did have an incident
where a lady got hit in the back from an overthrow and we would like to uh increase that fence line. So if there are not if I guess when there are um there's no softball people here so I guess that's safe. Uh when there is an overthrow that fence would catch it and
wouldn't go in that area. And then the other part is now if you take an overview of of Mills or Memorial Park field one is it close to the pickle ball. So field one you get a home run and uh on that one side that's going to
go into the pickle ball area. So we would want to extend that fence there. The fences are pretty expensive. Um but we want to seek a grant to move forward. Kayla's been doing some research. But before we get too far along, we want to just make sure that we're okay doing
that. It would be an asset. Uh fences um typically are they're they're an asset and uh like an outfield fence would probably be in the 50 to 100,000. I'm not sure what those are right now, but they're they're expensive. And it's not
necessarily the fence, it's the post because it's sort of a it's even though it's a a a mesh net, it's still a a sail. Um um as you know, Paul, with your engineering, um that's still a sale and that footing for those posts would have
to be pretty strong. So that's what we're seeking. Uh any uh questions for staff on that, >> Mr. Miller? So the fences aren't already competitive regulation height, right? Like they're actually short.
>> Go ahead. >> Are you asking for like the home run? >> Well, just in general, right? Like uh some of those sanctioned events require a a higher fence, right? So So on a competitive and program side, not just safety, this is kind of a big deal. I
think I mean, if we're going to organize bigger events and things like that, we want to have that. So, I think it's a kind of a double-sided win. Um, if we can uh if we can pull this off. So, >> with three fields, would we be able to host a tournament or do we need like a a
whole complex? This is my only right. >> We would be able to host a tournament. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Cool. I see baseball. >> And this would be for mainly for field one and two. I don't think anything needs to be done on field three.
It's more for the safety of the players or the >> houses. I'm going to be impressed and I'll welcome them to come to the park board meeting. >> I'll make a motion or unless you had something. >> Yep. >> I'll make a motion to um approve staff of uh seeking a grant to extend the
height of the fence lines at fields one and two at the Memorial Park softball fields. >> I will second that motion. >> I have a motion and a second. Do I have any discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. >> I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes.
Moving on. 8B. Discussion of softball league rules and objections. >> Kaywa. >> So, I think Scott covered uh how the rosters work pretty well. So, if you have any questions, I can answer for
that. Otherwise, I'll just go over explaining objections. I I just want to reiterate, we're using a very standard set of rules, right? Okay. Just for anybody in the public or any questions like that. I mean, these are just used everywhere. >> Yes. >> Thank you.
>> Andrew, did you have something to add? Heard it. >> No. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I think it's pretty laid out. Uh Mike, >> I'd just like to indicate that uh regarding the ejections, if the event or the situation is severe, they would be
suspended for 10 days. If it's just a normal suspension, they're they're rejected for that game. They're welcome back the next uh day, but it's if it is severe enough, it is 10 days, they have to appear before the park board, indicate their reasoning and why they
would like to come back and then the park board would vote. If it is a severe rejection uh with that case, it's based on the umpire. We the games are really the umpire's games. when the game starts, the umpire is it's their game.
They have to call that and we follow their their judgment call. Our our umps are solid and we are appreciative of what they do for us. So, I just want to reiterate that is one of the nuances that we found with this recent ejection.
We just researched a little bit further. if it was going to be a tick up uh regarding the severity of it, this is what would have happened if we would have followed our procedures. So, I just want to bring that to the board's attention. Paul, I guess if we're asking
that this person that is ejected come to a park board meeting, I would like to at least have the umpire that performed the ejection come to I look at this like a a dangerous dog hearing where the animal control officer is in attendance and the
perpetrator, call it, is also here so we can hear both sides of the story um to make an informed decision. So that would be the only request that I had. I I think that's a good request, Andrew. >> Um, so just so I'm understanding this,
so if they're ejected with the major ejection, they're out for 10 days, but then they can start playing again until the next park board meeting >> or would they have to sit out? >> They have to sit out till the next park board meeting. >> So wherever that falls.
>> Oh, okay. Minimum. >> I was just like, if somebody got ejected tonight, >> they better hope it happens. >> Like within 10 days of a park board meeting. >> Yeah. I just don't want to get to a point where we have to like hold a special park board meeting because somebody got ejected and there's a
tournament. I would feel bad for that person and then also for trying to get all of us together. The one thing that we are really trying to do when you enforce rules, you actually bring the playability, the organization of it, and the whole feel
of the or of the softball event is at a higher rate right now. It's at a higher level because Kayla has been on top of those rules and applying those rules. And so, thank you for backing staff when we indicate that. But now that you you
have firsthand experience and and witness that the level of the the play has increased and the just the atmosphere has increased also. So when we enforce what we have indicated, we you actually get a better quality
program. So I just again thank you for following um and and endorsing us. Thank you. >> Okay. Well, have you had any further discussion with that team about a new manager? Do you know if anything has transpired with that? >> Yes, they have a new manager now.
>> Perfect. Okay. Any other discussion on softball rules and objections? All right. Moving on. 8C. Consider discussions of community agreements in September and the fee schedule in October. >> Thank you, Mr. President. And just for
work balance and working on different things, obviously as as thank you, Andrew, for bringing up those things that I've missed. And I just want to get a schedule out in front of us so that we can start working on some of these things and having a solid document
before you um in the months ahead. So the community uh agreements that we have, we have three of them. We have the YMCA, the BBBA, and uh the community ed. and we will uh put forth uh some good recommendations
that the board can consider and then we can move forth for that in September. And then October, we would like to look at the fee schedule. And uh like one item is that if we had a 5K event and they wanted to close X number of streets
or whatever, if we just charged, you know, X number of dollars for every event we had in 25, what would our our total total amount be? When we start having staff dedicated to bringing a a a street barricade, a picnic table, a
trash can, whatever it is, we are taking away our our staff to maintain that baseball field, to maintain Gregory Park. We are taking staff away for this very specific event. And the general tax dollars should not be charged for that.
This is a very spec, it's a private event. They're paying for it. could be open to the public, but still that event should be paying for that staff person to be bringing that picnic table. Those are the type of things that we're going to be bringing forth. Again, it's not going to be a big amount. It's just
going to be something a tick above. Um, and so those are the type of things that I really want to dive into to put forth a solid document. We're going to be doing some benchmarking. Um, not only, you know, we're just going to be looking at, you know, Brainard Lakes area, what
other agencies, what are they charging for special events, what are they charging for ball field rentals and so forth. And that is what I really want to dive into. But again, work balance. I need to balance my workload and projecting out. we should be able to
really provide a good solid document for the park board to look at that will have some analysis behind it that it just won't have numbers out of the air. So that's what I would like to recommend and the park board could you know or take any feedback from here.
>> Jonathan, I think the only question I have is I don't always remember when the YMCA and community education present in the fall. So, um I if it's November or whatever, I obviously this time table works a little bit better if you know if we're doing it at the October meeting
and then they come and present in November. Um, and then kind of piggybacking on that and saying, "Okay, well, you've determined a lot of these things and and put a lot of information together for for us, maybe making the YMCA and other, you know, community
education and the BBBA aware of, you know, like, hey, you know, these are kind of our some of our findings so that when they come and make their request contractually that they're not unprepared as well. I mean they can certainly watch our meetings and see what we see but just to make sure that
you know we're sharing the findings before they make those those financial asks from us uh would be really appreciated. and the meetings that I've had even moving forward and even with I'll indicate BBBA um majority of the contractual agreements that we have all
the wins are on one side of the table when you start valuing and when you value your asset so much that you charge for it people appreciate it much higher and people then value it at that same level and that is what I would like to
bring just like here we are we are valuing our our rules and we're following our rules. When we value and follow our rules, people appreciate it more. And I that also say is true to fee structures and so forth. We can all get a steak at multiple restaurants. Um I'm
probably going to choose a certain restaurant versus another restaurant and it's just because of value. I'm willing to pay for that because I value that. And when people val we have amazing amenities here. It's I mean great amenities and we need to be charging for
those and just in my professional opinion and I think people will follow suit the ones that I spoke to BBA Corey and he's like absolutely Mike you let me know um on the contract we can't charge him he's actually willing to hey I'll buy some chalk for you and uh just
because he knows the value that he's getting he is getting a certain value and and uh he realizes that and he's a business individual and and people will now value what they respect and what we have to value it also.
>> Any other questions for staff? I do appreciate you planning out ahead and I think that falls into our priorities of the yearway plan. I appreciate that and I think that's good to to work ahead and look ahead. Andrew, um, one thing that might be nice
to see in this discussion is, um, the different activities each, uh, organization offers and then like the rough timeline they happen just so we're not kind of double dipping on anything or we can make sure that we're not, >> right?
>> Um, because I know like they both offer soccer, but they're different times of the year. Just so we're clear, right? We have a seven-year-old who loves to play soccer. What are their opportunities and when, right? Right. We can make sure we're not saying, "Well, we have two programs, but they're at the same time." >> So, re very specifically regarding like
the YMCA and and community ed, are you talking about other outside agencies besides these three? >> Just I think mostly community and YMCA. Great. >> Because I think baseball >> making sure that we don't conflict with one another that they're not competing against. Right. >> Exactly. Yeah. I believe it's already
spelled out which one each is going to provide, but if we could just get the timing of it. >> Exactly. >> Add it in there. rough timing even, >> right? >> Yeah. It doesn't have to just like April to June or whatever. Yeah. >> I'll make a motion to direct staff to
prepare 2026 agreements for the September parkboard meeting and following that the prepared fee schedule for the October park board meeting. >> I will second. >> I have a motion and a second. Do I have any further discussion on this? >> Seeing none, all those in favor say I.
>> I. >> I. Opposed. Same sign. Motion passes. 8D. Approval 2026 capital budget and operating budget. Conniey's favorite time. >> Connie up front. She has the money tree
in her office. >> It's gone. >> It's been plucked. >> Can you um Andrew, I guess. So, we we met and maybe we discussed the easier ones. So, the capital um with the
equipment, with the snow plow and the lift, that those were the two documents that I emailed out. And so, is it okay that we talk about those two are that very specific thing? >> Yeah, because those are the the changes,
right, to what we kind of had laid out as far as um the future, right? Like those are the major differences like things that we didn't talk in the workshop about. >> Right. Exactly. >> Correct. Okay. Yeah. I think we're
>> the the just to expand a little bit the the um right now we have a contract well last winter we had a contract with a with a very specific company to do the snow plowing downtown uh with the downtown area and at uh 6 in it was we
would call them out. anything under six inches or four inches and lower, we just take care of that. I'm uh and this was at a city council workshop that uh and Nick and I have already talked about this um and that our park staff, we have
the equipment um and we're well trained in our equipment and we could easily take that request on. I know that we could do it uh less expensive than that contractor could do and it would actually be a savings to the businesses downtown and I think they would
appreciate that gesture and um I think we can easily handle that u that act activity. We just need to get one piece of equipment and that's this plow. We are sharing it with streets because they're going to be using it too. So
that's why Connie did it 5050. Um and then the other one was a lift. Uh I won't get into the very It was a critical thing if we can remit uh verbiage. Um that is we just needed this piece of equipment to be you know
following OSHA and all of our regulatory standards. We have to we need to have this piece of equipment to do our stuff that we do. We do have the means with BPU to ask them to bring their truck. their truck is, you know, a $500,000 piece of equipment to do some, you know, hang a
banner downtown isn't the best use of of that equipment. So, we're requesting to get this piece of equipment. Streets again are going to be sharing it and it will be used for tree trimming and hanging banners in a safe, appropriate,
professional manner. >> Question on the downtown snow removal. Right now, we're currently assessing the downtown property owners to pay for that snow removal. Would that offset the equipment that we're purchasing then or would that be a a council budget item? I
don't know if that'd be you or Connie. >> I spoke to Jesse on this and Connie can chime in also, but um I spoke to Jesse and and I think we can um assess that. We'd have to research that. I'm not versed in that agreement, but we if even
if we did, I was like, "God, that's a big, you know, assessment." We would only assess 50% of that. And that would Jesse with some quick numbers, you know, it'd be less than $200 per company. Um, I think with the savings that they're going to see, they could easily do that, but again, I don't want to speak to that
fully. And but Connie, do you have anything to add? >> Well, I just think that this whole downtown snow removal needs to go through council yet. It hasn't even been discussed at council level. We don't even know if council is willing to do this at this point. Um, we have some union contract language also that we
need to work through. So, I think it's very preliminary yet. So, I think we're kind of rolling down the cart, but we need to >> pull back the reinss a little bit and make sure that this is um good. >> Yeah, the the downtown is a special services district that the city has
specifically outlined. And the reason that those costs were assessed for is because that snow removal would happen very early in the morning. Um, and that's kind of the rationale. It's a special benefit that these businesses receive having all the snow removed from
downtown prior to opening their shop. And so with that change, that's something that the council is certainly going to have to look at because is it providing a special benefit anymore if it's not if it's all happening at the same time um as other snow removal activities, there might not be that
benefit there anymore. >> Andrew, >> um just not to be a nerd, but the charter is pretty clear that downtown is not a park or a boulevard. So, I'd be really hesitant for us to really do anything with this unless council says
they want us to tackle this. So, I would like to see that removed. Even if it goes in streets, that's great. But just in terms of us trying to stick our nose in the downtown service, I don't >> would that any interest. >> What kind of plow is it? And uh could it
be used for park related purposes that aren't related to downtown, I guess, is my question. Yes, it it's for our loader and it's just a push. It's 12 feet wide with some wings on it and any parking lot, that's what it's for. Um, and one thing that we're going to be doing is
having our our small blower on the sidewalk blowing it onto the street and then this thing will come right behind it, put it and the parks guys are just going to put it in the middle and then streets are going to come up with their big blower with their dump truck and then pick it up.
So, I think there's there's justification there for the cost share is what I'm saying because it's not just solely related to downtown. There's a lot of this equipment sharing that goes on down there. Um, and given it's all one department now, I think it makes
sense, you know, that this will get used in all the other parks um related to the same. So, if it's it's just an accounting thing internally, it all comes out of the same money. But
>> yes, it will be used by both work units. >> Were we short on snow plows this past winter >> to take on the downtown at the same time of doing our streets? Yes. We could not. Well, could we do it? Yes. With our current
equipment, will it take a little bit longer? Yes. And to be more efficient to get those to get the we need to get out of there before downtown people start coming and to be more efficient with that. We need um this nicer piece of equipment to get
it done. Right now we use the grater. The grater is just not very uh mobile to get into a parking lot. It's a very but we use it. We can get it done. It's going to take us a little bit longer. Um, this piece
of equipment will be much more efficient and especially with time to get in and out before the rush hour. Realistically, if we approve it in the budget now and it goes there and council says we're going to go a different direction with that, this could be
pulled out afterwards because our budget is likely going to be sent back to us >> anyways because we could always pull it out or just if it is approved, we don't have to spend the money if it's if it doesn't go anywhere. >> Connie, I say yes. Okay.
>> The council approves our budget anyways. So, it's not like >> have it in there and have them pull it out then to try to add it later. >> Yes. >> And then Connie, we don't have final numbers on insurance and such. >> Correct. >> We have numbers on there. Are those guesstimates or were those last year's?
>> Those were last year's amounts. >> Okay. >> And same thing with professional services. Um, I updated the cleaning services, but we still need to work on the agreements with the Y and community. >> Okay. And these are all kind of preliminary. Um Mike hasn't met with myself or um the
city administrator yet. Usually we look over that too. So these numbers are subject to change even before >> Andrew. U the capital I know uh it's budget season. It's great. uh with the capital spreadsheet. Um I think the
facility projects are different than what we updated in the workshop. I just want to see those match some of the dates we moved around. >> Okay. Just the dates. >> Um I think we got rid of some of those projects as well.
>> I don't have the that before me in front of me. When this did go to council on Monday night, we said that the park board was meeting and so that they were subject to change, but this is the facility projects were what were in the in the
budget for 2026 last year. I made no changes to those because I didn't >> Oh, totally. Yeah. I think just we changed stuff at the workshop last Monday. >> So, we'd want to >> Can you email me, Andrew, what you're
speaking of so I have that? >> Yeah, I can. Do you just want me to update it and send it? >> Sure. Okay. >> Okay. >> That'd be great. >> Because we'll just take the 30-year spreadsheet and put those projects and dates. >> Oh, okay. >> And amounts in. >> Okay. >> Uh because we just push some of that out
and we can probably >> And that's just very specifically the capital, right? >> Yeah. Capital facilities. >> Okay. Right. Oh, facilities. Okay. >> What were those if you have it up? >> Uh yes.
playground, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we moved >> You emailed it out, right? >> Yes. >> Um, we moved the memorial playground to 26. >> Um, the parking lot I think we moved back a year.
>> So, I was working off a different document that you emailed. So Connie will so Andrew when you send that that will be the document that I >> send to you for council. >> Okay. >> Is that correct?
>> For when the park board makes their presentation to the council in August. Is that what you're saying? >> Okay. Right. I guess. Yes. >> Yeah. Because we just changed I mean for the most part this is correct. We just moved some of the from some of these forward because 2026 had no improvements
in whatsoever. So we just moved some of the like the playground's a great example and then the stone arch I think was it. >> Yeah, those were the only thing that went 26. >> So >> Memorial Park playground and the stone arch. >> Then we moved the the parking lot back
because of the skate park. So um yeah like the >> Did we Did you guys talk about the Buffalo Hills playground and Did we keep that in our 2026 ask if that is >> that money's already been allocated? >> It's already been allocated. So, we're
just holding that over to next year. Okay. >> Right. >> So, then just to understand the process once this is approved, JD, you'll present all three of these Connie to city council. >> Yes.
>> The whole all three budgets. So the capital facility improvements and operating >> and I think we were gonna find out from Gabe or Mike if they wanted it presented in August or September. >> I would say they would want it in August just because they have to present to the park they by per the city charter by
September 1st the chair and the PNF committee have to present a budget to so usually we try to do it in August. >> Okay. Yeah. The second meeting in August. I we don't usually have a set time, but I think that would probably be the best
>> earlier. That's why we wanted to do it now. >> Better hand. >> Yeah, always better. >> Um, just a couple other things. Mike Troy was going to look at the roofing options for the stone arch and lum and the cost of cedar shakes versus asphalt,
>> right? And >> we just wanted to make sure that six was in the ballpark or that it was maybe more since we estimated a couple years ago. >> And that was just for the arch. >> Yes. >> Right. >> At Lump Park, right? >> Yes. >> Yes.
I will have to email the board with that number. Um, and then you were going to double check our softball lights estimate. I know Jesse had gotten us one, >> right? >> Back when this all started, three years ago, probably
>> all began >> and it was 400. >> 400 is what it isn't here right now, but I I would imagine that will be white. >> I mean, we could probably dredge up if we wanted context. I mean, we we did have that
Musco or wait, was it Rusco? I don't remember who it was. Um, did doing Musco did it right like a full estimate for that replacement. So, >> um, we'll know what it was before, but just to have an idea, maybe we can even just get a hold of those previous people and be like, hey,
>> you can get that well contract. >> Yeah. Like what, you know, what percentage increases have we seen? Things like that. just so we don't have to go crazy with it, but just have a general idea of how much. >> Just looking at the calendar. >> Yeah, we'll have to reach out to them
and get that. The the arch will be pretty easy. The Musco that will be um a lift to get them here within the next week or so because then >> so >> actually if it's on not till the 2nd the
week of the 18th. So we >> lights aren't even on the 5year capital, are they? >> The 30. They're on the 30-year. I think they're set for 2031. >> Snuck them in there. >> Um I think our only concern with the
lights, Mike, was you thought it might be like double. >> We wanted to make sure we're in the right softball field and we're requesting the right amount of money annually um to fit that so that the bill in five years time is not significantly higher than we anticipated. I mean, it
probably is going to be higher than we anticipate. It always is, but just to try to be closer than where we were four years ago, you know, having those estimates were three years ago, excuse me. But, you know, having a a more inline estimate as we as we move along just so that we're
requesting the right amount of money, we don't make a massive ask, >> right? And just so that we're on the same page, we're I would be recommending metal poles with LED lights. Are we on that same page? >> Yeah. And I think I think the estimate
was that I >> Yeah, Musco's got standard lighting fixtures through Source. Well, that I think >> I I don't quite know, you know, the dates or any of those, but yeah, previous agendas do have the the full estimate. >> I think they're very similar to the ones
at the Memorial Hockey rings, right, if I remember correctly. >> Okay. And then I'll send that out in an email. So that is capital and assets
and so now operating are any more sorry Andrew >> one more thing on the capital um Troy was going to get like an estimate on epoxy flooring for the JC's concession area.
Um I think wasn't the discussion if we could do it ourselves versus like a vendor doing >> Yeah. Yeah. was having a more of a conversation about whether or not our our guys would be able to handle the epoxy or not, you know. So, if it was, okay, can we do it in house and how much is it going to cost? And if we can't,
>> what does it cost getting it on here? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And I think the conversation was the bathroom as well, >> right? >> Oh, cuz the >> Yeah. >> smells. >> Yeah. S with a concession stand, the whole that's Yeah. It was a two-parter,
but Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Stone art the arch lights and JC are just flooring in general. We'll get a square because Lyman P White, you know, we got all the concession stands and restrooms should get that.
>> Okay. All right. So, capital wise then, Paul, did you have a chance to look at the spreadsheet I sent out? Yeah, a little bit. No, I mean I think I understand it for the most part. >> Cool. Any concerns with We really just
shifted stuff in the next Z3. Okay, cool. >> So, not to totally take over JD. Um, is everyone comfortable with on the capital park spreadsheet that Mike sent kind of those consistent items? to the lift, the
plow, trees, weed and feed, garbage cans, ADA, >> that all seem good. >> I think they've all worked out well in the past. >> Giving us some flexibility to make the most get the most bang for our buck.
>> Cool. And then from the 30-year capital plan spreadsheet, if we updated a capital park spreadsheet for the next five years with items from the capital plan spreadsheet, that sound good? Mhm. >> Yes.
>> Good with capital. >> Good. Thank you. >> Anything you want to see in there >> on maintenance? Um I I didn't really have any any questions. Again, it's just seemed like uh there wasn't anything
absurd >> change-wise. I mean, just cost >> operating. Yeah. >> Yeah. Just >> increase. And again, >> our repairs and maintenance budget set at last year and was it going to >> 80
this year? >> 65. >> Uh 23. Yeah, it was actual >> 65. Last year budget was 80. This year is 80. >> Okay. >> We did a little bit increase for our uh fall protection for our playgrounds just
like we did at Gregory Park. Um they pretty much all need we need to take out some and just replace it all. >> Yeah. The old Pock ones are just Yeah. >> Right. And we'll be tackling that on those. two parks per year is is my, you
know, but they're they're expensive, but it's really adds to the park. It adds to the environment, and the big thing is just the safety. So, >> Andrew, >> shocking. Um, the ski sharpening tool,
is that because that's like a tool, would that be a capital item >> of it? >> Yeah. >> Thank you, K. and >> small tools, Connie. Right. The budget line item that she loved every year. >> That's a small tool item.
>> We don't have to capitalize it. We don't want to, >> right, Connie? How will this work with not knowing the exact professional development and insurance items? >> It'll just be an estimate. >> Okay. >> Subject to change. >> Got it. The one thing that we, Lisa and I, we've
been thinking about for next year is going to be our 250th anniversary, not ours, the country's um birthday, and we would like to do some flare something downtown. We did not add that to the
budget. Um there is the mayor's uh fund. I haven't um you know thought about touching that budget, but again that's for the park board to consider. I would like to do some flare or something for the 250th birthday.
>> Take it out of the mayor's budget. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, downtown loot out of Dave's coffers here, but uh also just find some group that wants to get involved. I mean, you know, we've got the VFW, we've got the I mean, we've got a ton of organizations. just reach
out to somebody and say Brainard Parks and you guys sound like a great place for this. So, um yeah, I like that. Um so, let's just partner with somebody that wants to do something like that. We can make a big deal out of it. I love it. >> There's actually a company that Lisa
watched a whole video and presentation on it. It's pretty amazing. Essentially, the Reader Digest Virgin is they'll have their uh a local business. they'll solicit local businesses to put their logo, you know, on that bottom corner of
it and uh but it's sort of taken away our control and it's it's a program that is going across the country and some people are so they reached out to us. Lisa really liked it. It was very professional, very well organized. Um
but again, we sort of lose that control a little bit but again they provide great service. That's another option that we could bring forth when we get closer. >> Andrew, uh, Kayla, could you talk through the second Easter egg hunt
event? >> Actually, that was sort of my idea. Um, and, uh, versus having everyone at Grey Park for the entire city of Brainard. Um, I thought about having one north Brainer, one in the south, whether it be
Buffalo Hills or JC Park, just spreading out the love, if you will, and uh, having a local um, Easter egg hunt where you could just walk from your house to your local park, doing an Easter egg hunt, and keeping it small, very
intimate, very family orientated versus one large event. So, there's just it's just a different perspective. Um, it's not that we have to or anything, but it's just bringing in, we know the Lions Club, as you saw the strength of them,
that they would probably really value that at Buffalo at Lions Park at Buffalo Hills. >> I would probably be opposed to that. I like the idea of the one and I think it just spreads staff and attendees too
thin. And then at first I was like, well, if you split ages at different parks, but then you're splitting families and eliminating that that fault. So I would just like to see it bigger if we needed to space it out at Gregory Park more.
>> Yeah, I think my hesitation was like Easter here is such a wild card weather-wise, putting all of our eggs in that basket. Uh this is right there. Yeah. Um, I would just hesitate versus a summer event where we're pretty sure
we're not going to, right? Two years ago, we had like a foot of snow and we had like three-year-olds who were up to their neck and it was it was funny, but it was hard to search for eggs. >> Uh, right. >> So, just that was kind of my hesitation was versus like a second fishing clinic or a Fourth of July or Memorial Day or
you know, something like that. >> Yeah. >> Thank you for looking out for staff time. [Laughter] Where do we feel we're at? >> I'm ready to make a motion to approve the uh capital and operating budgets for
2026 contingent on updates to be made um by staff um and Andrew sending his updated spreadsheet over and operating budgets with insurance changes and all that kind of stuff. But in concept, yes,
I think we all have an agreement. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second for the budgets contingent on the changes noted. Do we have any further discussion? >> Not operating, isn't there?
>> Seeing none, we want to do a roll call vote. Voice vote. All right. All those in favor say I. I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion passes. Moving on. 8E, consider solar development agreement with Wolf Track
Energy. >> Thank you, Mr. President. So, this is an agreement that's already been uh briefed, I think, to the park board and just not formally approved of. It was prior to my time. So, I just want to bring it forth again to make sure that
we're all on the same page. BPU has already approved this. Their commission has already approved it. If you can scroll down to page the payout if you will, it is page 12 of 12. So we are not going
to see a financial profit till year or it won't pencil out till year 39. Um so that is a hard thing. By that time, most likely these uh fixtures will need
to be replaced. And I spoke to Danny with BPU and it's I'm not sure, you know, I'm going to give you options and my professional recommendation, what is it really serving? I'm not sure.
It's just serving a pavilion in a park. um and to pencil it out till year 39. I'm not sure if that's the best use of of funds even though it is being paid by BPU. Um that is just something that I
just want to throw my two cents in. But again, we will if it's if it's the aspect of just having uh uh solar energy, that's that's a decision within itself that yes, it does. If we look at it totality with every aspect, I'm not
sure if I would recommend this because it is so far out to benefit and then we have to replace the lights. They're not going to last 39 years and then now that just pushes that out even further. So I
just want to give you the full reasoning of that. I know the Rotary uh probably have supported this and as you know solar power is very much clean energy and it's uh it's it's uh it's it's an
amenity that some people really value. I like to look at both aspects of it. But again, I just want to give the board uh both sides of that spectrum. >> Oh, I saw your hand up. >> Yeah. So, this project's been talked
about a lot. Um, Mike brings up the concerns I think the board had um, originally and I don't exactly recall what the final decision was. I think we voted to approve this um, on the building if I remember
correctly at it was a while ago. Um, but again, I share Mike's same concerns. If we're rehashing this again, you know, the payout doesn't make sense to me. Um I drove by the pavilion the other day and there's power I think extended basically to the pavilion already um
with the ability to you know extend that and and install u power sockets and I think the agreement at the time was that if BP was going to pay for it that we would be okay with it. Um my concerns are still out there. This is um an asset
on a building that um you know someone is going to have to replace in the future. I don't know if this agreement I didn't read too much in detail about it but the responsibility for replacement when they go bad is BPU going to cover that bill again um it's on a park
building so it is an asset under our purview that um certainly you know comes with its own issues installing roof mounted solar there's the security aspect that I think we all talked about at the meeting but um again I think we approved this once before I was a yes
vote just because I um you know it seemed to be that we put a lot of time and effort into this and um to kind of turn back now I guess I uh you know reserve my right to possibly change my vote because I thought that this was
already getting done but >> I I just I'm in the same boat. I I thought this was done. I think we like I thought we raised the concerns that you know about vandalism. Who's going to replace it? Is BPU paying for all that? I I thought we had the answers to that,
but I mean, and if we haven't, >> do we have the answers to all that? >> Vandalism is another factor that is needs to be considered. >> When I look in the minutes, if within the first 15 years the park board wants to get rid of them, the park board would
be responsible for the removal and payback based on the table minus rebates received from the original cost. If after 15 years BPU would be responsible for the cost of removal. >> If the panels became a hazard or blight, BPU would pay for the removal.
>> I I mean I I thought we were done with this. I disagree with the fact that it's going to take 39 years to pay back, but I'm not going to tell another entity how to spend their money. >> Yeah. I mean, I Yeah, I think we all came to that resolution that we were we
were on board with this one. um with all those contingencies. So >> question, will this have to go to if whatever happens here, will this go to the city council for final approval or it's it's okay. >> All right. >> Between the park board and BPU
commission. Yeah, we had a joint meeting on this, right? >> Oh, yeah. We had a joint meeting about this thing. So yeah, I mean we it's been a marathon. I I thought we were done. That that's why I was a little confused because I'm like I just don't this looks all super familiar. Um, but it seems um
Yeah. No, I'm uh I'm ready to make a motion. So, >> um >> need a motion. >> Do we need a motion? >> Like we've already approved the >> Yeah, I think we Yeah. >> Yeah. I want to say Tony indicated that need to go to city council.
>> That would be outside of us then. So, I would just confirm on that. But just so you guys know, we had talked about security wise. They do have security cameras in the cost estimate. So, they would be putting security cameras in there. >> So, it's all kind of there. I mean, every every single thing that we kind of
talked about, >> um, contingency, all that stuff that we wanted is all there. Um, so again, I if you need to bring it upstairs, I I think >> it's all in the minutes. >> We are upstairs. >> Well, further upstairs, you know, um,
the penthouse. Yeah. Um then uh I think all the minutes speak to that um previously. So >> I guess the security does offset why it takes 39 years. >> Yeah. >> To reach. >> Yeah. It was like 20 or something. >> It would have been like 25.
>> Yeah. >> But that is a cost going into this project. So >> but yes, >> everybody's needs were met on this one, I think. So, um I think it's still just a thumbs up from us if it needs to go to council that, you know, like, hey, we're
still on board with this because everything everything we wanted out of this project has been taken care of boardwise. >> Yeah, I can forward you this email. Uh Tony is is indicating it should go to park board first and then to city council. Um she's indicating that uh um
it was discussed but still needs parkboard and commission approved. Danny is indicating parkboard and commission approved. Um yes they generally approved the concept of the project but there wasn't an agreement to approve at the time. So you may we may have discussed
it here but there wasn't an agreement like >> we never seen the actual agreement. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. >> So that's motion to approve the agreement. >> Right. So that's what Tony's indicating. There wasn't an agreement >> um at the time to approve and that's why
but it because and it is a document that needs to be approved on a city asset >> for again I'm not sure of the justification but she's indicating that it needs to go to city council also after you approve here or deny it still
needs to go to city council >> that that I will second Paul's motion. >> I have a motion and a second. Do we have any further discussion on it, Andrew? >> The agreement's between BPU and the energy company, so I don't think we can approve anything.
>> Well, we'll just, you know, approve our input on the contract um to council. >> Yeah, that's very that is a very good point. I don't know what exactly. >> Yeah, if we would be approving because it's not an agreement between the park
board and anyone else. It's the park board basically gave its consensus that it's okay to put it on one of our buildings and that was it. >> I mean we we could entertain a motion an amended motion that we still agree with
or approve the project scope. >> I will make that friendly amendment. >> I will second that friendly amendment. I have an amended motion to agree the project scope based on the agreement that was presented between BPU and Wolf Track Energy. Do we have any further
discussion on the amendment? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> I. >> Opposed? Same sign. >> I. >> Motion passes. >> All right. So, our motion on the table now is that we agree with the project scope based on the agreement that was
presented between BPO and Wolf Track Energy. Do we have any discussion on that? Wait, what was the last one on? >> The last one was just the agreement. >> Okay. >> So, now now we're just agreeing that >> Oh, I thought that was an amendment to the original motion. >> Yes, it was. >> Oh, it was adding Okay.
>> the project scope >> because we can't approve the agreement. It's not ours. >> So, it's just the scope of the project. So, now it's just a matter of do we still agree with the scope of the project? >> They can still put it on our roof. >> That's where I'm at. >> Is that a motion?
>> That's the motion. That's the motion that's on the table. It's already on the table. Okay. Just so we're disc as part of the discussion. Yes, they can still put it on our roof. That's part of the scope. >> I I could swear we had a document about the 15 years. That was just the minutes.
>> Yes, >> it's in the minutes. Yeah. >> Interesting. Yeah, I I still support this. I'm just nervous that like generally saying, "Hey, we think it's good for no particular reason." Cuz like we've already said we think it's good. We
already have outlined what we want to have happen. I love this for Rotary. I just am really confused what we would need to approve without like a more specific parkboard BPU contract or something.
That's just my hang up here. And if we want to do the motion, I'm I'm fine with that. >> I think I would just ask staff maybe for some clarity on you. Save us. >> You've got any amount of context, we'll take it. >> No. Um, well, I thought I'm surprised
this is on the agenda because I thought this was a done deal a long time ago. And >> thank you. >> And and I can't claim to understand how the city works. So I'm ignorant in the process. Um but I understood what you
know at the start of this project to to create the project Rotary themselves went out and solicited all the bids to put the project together and then as the when the as it went through its approval process
um I wouldn't say there was project creep but um at the at the outset it was certainly desirable to have power brought into the pavilion and outlets and and make it on a on a make that
pavilion on a more par basis with other park facilities. And so the it's this is all being lumped into a solar project, but there was a significant amount of
cost that u was going to be that is incurred just to get it up to the point that it's similar to other park facilities. So, so the total cost certainly isn't solar. It's there, but there is an incremental part to the solar part and
that's we as the Rotary Club are contributing to $10,000 which basically buys all of the solar panels and all of the racking and and so forth. So I I understood that when we
submitted all of this information that it was it was accepted and went through the process, but there was a requirement that the that the city needed to have quotes presented directly to them rather
than being rather than quotes coming through >> um through the Rotary Club and being approved. So if there's some glitch, that's the only thing from our standpoint at Rotary
that we were aware of. We But we thought that that sounded like kind of a formality where certainly any of the providers would be glad to put someone else's name on the proposal rather than
Rotary. Um, so that's as far as I know that was the only part that was kind of a >> um it was a kind of a surprise, but it sounded like a really a formality and making sure all the docks >> uh were correct.
>> Yeah. And I think our confusion is is what we thought during when we had the discussions about this project that um we had basically approved the use of the Rotary Pavilion which is under our >> right
>> um for use for this project and that we were basically done with it and that's where I think the confusion is happening because now we have this agreement between BPU and Wolf Track Energy that we don't really have any stake in the game anymore. I Yes, I I know that this was originally or that agreement that
you were look was on the screen a little bit ago. Um Wolf Track uh provided that agreement to Rotary and we said, "No, no, we we have no legal ability to sign this, you know, and so they went back
and and things were requ." I don't know if that helps or hinders, but um but anyway, I was surprised to see this was on the agenda. >> I'm just going to make another motion that we approve the use of the Rotary Park Pavilion for this project. And just
if BPU has approved their contract with the provider, then we should be covered. And whatever needs to be taken to council can be taken to council. But I think >> you want to amend that first motion? >> Yes, that's my amendment. >> That's your amendment? >> Yeah, >> I like that much better. Well, I just I
I do want to make sure that we do include I mean because this agreement doesn't have any mention of the 15 years to Andrew's point. So if we're crafting some sort of agreement with BPU about removal or you
know replacement um I suppose that needs to be done still and brought before us if that's the conversation that needs to be had because there's no binding. I don't and I don't even know if we need to have an agreement with BPU. I mean, >> no, I mean, we're all >> Sure. Like, we're all the same entities.
So, I mean, at this as long as Yeah. they're held to the the same 15-year removal, replacement, whatever. Yeah, >> I would I guess I would just ask city staff to, you know, research that specific topic about these contingencies
we did >> make in our original motion about the 15-year payback and all of that gets considered and brings something back to us that says that we're good where we left it off last time or we need to come up with an agreement with BPU or >> right
>> whatever that is. So that between the two departments, you know, like to your point, I don't know if we actually need that because it's all the city. It's kind of >> Yeah. >> So just very specifically an agreement regarding replacement and
>> Exactly. >> or just to make sure that everybody's still I mean because we're about to sign this agreement now to get this project going, right? Let's just make sure that everybody's still aware that the original conversation because it's just not in here at all anywhere. Let's just
make sure that the the 15-year responsibility on replacement or removal is outlined somewhere in this conversation, right? Like again, the board will if we want to rip them off before 15 years, that's on us. If we
don't, it's or need they need to be replaced, that's on BPU. I mean, they are in the minutes. Um, and I suppose we can we can go back and pull them, but um, let's just make sure that as far as input is concerned, if that needs to go to council, that's the input, right? They can still use the pavilion. Let's
just make sure those original contingencies and all those pieces of information that we originally outlined, right, >> are still >> relevant. >> Relevant. So, >> so I second Paul's motion, amended motion, excuse me.
>> Amended amended motion. I have an amended motion on the table that we still approve of the project scope. They can put put it on the roof of Rotary Pavilion. All those in favor of the amended motion say I.
>> I. >> Opposed. Same sign. Amended motion passes. So now we need the official vote on that amended motion >> because you amended the original motion. We were just voting to amend that motion. All right,
>> we have that motion in the second. >> Yep. >> I will further >> discussion on that. >> We've got Paul and Jonathan making that motion. >> Yep. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Oppose. Same side.
Rotary Park Pavilion solar power is good with the park board. Put a fork in. >> Put a fork in. >> You guys in your amended motions make >> Yeah. Well, >> what do we pay staff for besides that? You know, >> terms of student senate president never
had that many amended motions. >> Lord have mercy. >> Sorry, Max. >> All right. Discussion of Lions Park at Buffalo Hills ADA parking stalls and the path and service road. >> Uh, nope. I got to go back. 8F.
>> 8F. 8F. >> Oh, 8F. Approval of Rotary Park grant. Great river greening 9010% grant. Great River Greening Grant. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. We met out there with the Rotary uh club and they have um the Great River Greening
Project is also working with the soil and water with the state and they have a grant of $255,000 and it's a 10% match. So 9010 and it's a great project to uh remove the buckthornne um that is out there.
There's been some previous um uh attempts to reduce it with goats and and some mitigation of that. This here I think will be a better approach in the sense that now we are getting um there's
a cash uh a $12,750 cash um match and then also the same amount for inind which is labor and equipment and as you know the the rotitarians are very strong in that their park but also with the city staff
we have more equipment now we have a brush cutter that we can really go in there and and uh you know, really attack that uh um of that buckthornne and we can attack it like that. So, the big thing is the Great River Greening is a
strong organization. Rotary Park is uh one of our a great asset. Um my only concern with with what they are doing with our wells so near is that spraying any chemicals. Um, we are going to try to we are we need to mitigate that
aspect, but we can handle that with with other equipment and and means to amend that uh that buckhorn um weed there. And with that, we can take any questions. >> So, the park board is being asked for a
$12,750 match in cash to this project. >> Correct. Did we have that budgeted for? >> I believe Dave said I believe Dave said that would come out of the operating budget. >> Correct. >> And you had planned on that for this year. >> Correct.
Right. Well, I'll make a motion to approve the grant and provide the $12,750 cash match. >> I will second that motion. >> I have a motion and a second to approve $12,750 in cash for the match on the grant. Any further discussion on that?
Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. >> I. Oppos. Same sign. Motion passes. Now we are on 8G discussion of Lions Park at Buffalo Hills ADA compliance. >> Thank you.
>> I'm excited for no Buck Thorn. >> Yeah. Well, it's a process. Well, we'll keep working on it. So, >> no more goats. Thank you. >> Yeah, we we'll try to do some goats, too. So, we'll keep you guys posted as we make some progress. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> The public has been really excited about
visiting the gold. >> Oh, yeah. >> My daughter loved it. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. President. So, as you know, Lions Park at Buffalo Hills is uh strongly invested with the Lions Club
here in Brainer, and they are put forth uh um they're seeking grants right now. And as we we received a couple complaints regarding ADA compliancy and as I emailed out the board, we had paving
company in that neighborhood and we made a decision to go ahead and and just put forth uh parking stalls, two parking stalls with a walking way in between there in just in the parking stalls. So it's just asphalt uh right now at that
time. And now we are we are proposing that we move we make a path from the parking lot to the restroom and that can either be a you know a a four or five foot all the way up to an 8 foot wide path up to that that pavilion. I met
with Nancy and uh she is indicating some of her ideas and that is why this um eight foot path is on the agenda regarding because I know um service roads and of that going into a park are
somewhat of a concern for the park. I like the 8-foot roads just because it it helps provide emergency services into a park. It also provides easable walkable community and it also especially with ADA, this is going to be an ADA uh park
that is going to be geared for wheelchairs and so forth. Just imagine doing a wheelchair down a 4ft wide path. You one is going to have to stop, get off the the path and then get back on. So that's why we are recommending an 8ft
wide path. Nancy would also like that path, that legacy trail to be an 8 foot wide path. And so that's why right now we are just we would like to use that $25,000 that's
already in the budget for ADA improvements in the parks. And that's where we could take that asphalt. The asphalt was about two to $3,000. concrete would obviously be a little bit more but well within that $25,000 range.
And with that, that's the information. That's the direction or that's the thought process. And again, the these are just things that I want to bring forth to the to the board to consider regarding just, you know, as we move forward with this design at uh Lions
Park. >> Questions for staff? Paul? Um, I guess I mean I'm I'm fine with the budget aspect. I would just like to see like a a site plan number one if we can have engineering or Sean with GIS draw
something up so we have an understanding of what this would look like. Um, you know, we have the master plan document, but um, I guess that would also come in helpful for when we go out and get quotes. And I'm not comfortable approving something
that we don't know a cost for it yet. Um especially with, you know, what the scope, you know, not knowing what the full scope will be. Um and also I I'm more in favor of a standard sidewalk width of 5T. Um just because that's what
we have in in all of our parks. ADA standards, you know, recommends five, you can go down to four in constrained areas. Um, I think five is more than adequate for this. Um, it's where what we have. I mean, I would be willing to
consider six. I mean, I've seen sidewalks that are six feet wide, but um, in this case, I just I think, you know, being getting the most um, for money here, the most length and things and knowing that ADA only requires 5T.
Um, that's just where I'm at with it, I guess. >> Andrew. Yeah, I think we had a similar discussion, Paul, with the Jes path and that like doing a extra half strip was like a significant cost ad cuz it's not
the standard like sidewalk paver. It's like that plus doing some by hand and that doubled. I remember I forget what Jesse told us, but it increased the cost of that sidewalk quite a bit. Um, so yeah, I I agree with Paul. not
comfortable approving something without an estimate and I think having an ADA accessible sidewalk is great. love that location, but um yeah, I want to see kind of a plan first. And >> and also just thinking about the
truncated domes and all of that, you know, um going from that asphalt surface to the sidewalk surface, you need those detectable warning panels and engineering should be able to lay that out to say, you know, this we want to make sure it meets ADA. if we're saying it's an ADA sidewalk, we got to make
sure the domes are in place and that you know blind or vision impaired people know they're entering into a parking lot and off of a sidewalk and things. And so I'm just I I think we need a little more of a site plan kind of show us what we're dealing with and that we know it will meet ADA from a slope perspective
and then have quotes prepared so that we can make a informed decision on it. >> I would agree that I am not in favor of an 8 foot wide path. um that breeds vehicles and parks and I will not support anything that does vehicles and
parks like that for a project. Um but I would be in favor of five to six feet probably 5T in general just because uh most bang for your buck. I understand conceptually um as the
sentiment is that we want this to be the ADA accessible park, right? Um, so I understand the concept. Um, and I do support the idea. Um, but yeah, to the point that we have $25,000 annually that we spend on this and I don't know if you
could build an 8 foot wide sidewalk on 25gs. I mean, with all of the the needs being met, you know, I again I I don't know. I mean, I don't I'm not a concrete guy, but you know, it's uh I I just
Yeah, I think we have to stick with with five five feet. I mean, unless they've miraculously come up with a new contraption that doesn't add a significant cost to increasing it. Like I said, conceptually, I like the park as the ADA accessible park. Sounds great,
but I I just don't know if 8 feet is feasible financially for us to do a replacement like that. I mean, I I don't know. I mean, like I said, I I like it, but five feet's probably where we got to be because it's just such an incredible cost increase. Again, I could be
misspeaking and, you know, we're I think we're what, a year removed from that now, but you know, that was a lot of money um the difference between five 5 foot and six feet already um at the JC's. So, >> do we want to enter I would entertain a motion to direct staff to get quotes?
Yeah, I would I would make a motion to direct staff to get quotes and provide a site plan layout that meets ADA requirements for this project and bringing that to the next meeting. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> If you want to find 8 feet and see what
it costs, we I mean bring it up, you know, I mean that's >> ft a bid for 5T wide. >> Yeah. >> If if you want to do a bid for eight feet, I think we're all okay seeing that. We just would then we would have information to make an informed decision. >> Yeah. Cuz if they >> 5 ft and 8 ft.
>> Yeah. If the idea if the concept is 8 ft, if that's what they want, let's just we got to see the price difference. I mean it if it's unbelievably significant. I mean again master planwise, you know, makes sense. But >> and five feet does beat ADA. >> Yeah. So yeah, it's Yeah, it meets
requirements. So >> all right, I have a motion and a second on the table to direct staff to get quotes. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. >> I. Oppos. Same sign. Motion passes. We are on 8H, approval of changing
location for the Great Pumpkin Festival. >> Thank you, Mr. President. Yes, after uh we are looking at JC Park for like a regrand opening almost like that we did with uh Lum Park and but there's after looking at the numbers of individuals at
that pumpkin event um it may be better suited to have it at um that memorial park as we did in the past. So that is what we are recommending and just take any input questions at that time.
Yeah. Uh, Kayla had reached out to me based on parking concerns at the baseball tournaments. We just can't have that many people at JC's Park is what we learned. So, it was suggested to bring it back to Memorial Park. So, that's where we're we're at. >> What were the concerns with people parking?
>> Um, there were so Gabe had multiple complaints from residents over there that says Ward. Um, there was too many vehicles. They were blocking um people's driveways. They were parked. I went to won a tournament there. They were parked, I mean, two, three, four blocks
away and it was basically single lane traffic and it made for a very dangerous environment. >> Okay. So, it was mostly to do with how people were parking, not that they were using public streets and parking on public streets. >> Both public. >> Yeah. It wasn't they weren't complaining
they were parking there, but the concern was also how far away people were having to go as well. and then how they were parking as well, which I think we all know is >> I think it just ended up being logistically kind of bad and will probably be logistically pretty bad. So,
as much as I again, it's my neighborhood, too. So, I'd rather it be >> in my neighborhood once in a while, but I I do see the constraints here because I mean that parking lot, you know, it's and then the strip and then the like leading up to the it's just >> that's single lane as it is.
>> Yeah. No, again, I live off of Norwood, so I I know the misery of uh of the single lane traffic in your neighborhood. It's really bad. So, um if we can, again, as much as I like rotating it, um logistically, it just fits Memorial a lot better.
>> All right, I'll make a motion to approve it at Memorial Park. >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to move it to Memorial Park. Any further discussion, Andrew? >> Very short item. Um, Mike, do you know when Rosewood Street is up for any kind of reconstruction or maintenance?
>> I can research that. >> We were also going to research Pine Street as well on that for the north side of JC's Park >> when that would be up for construction as well. >> Oh, we could do like angle parking. >> Yep. Right. >> That'd be >> Yeah. Put angled parking in there and
that would add >> That'd be super cool. >> Yeah. >> Andrew, what street was that again? Uh, it is Rosewood east of Southeast 15th. >> And then >> Rosewood is not in the 10-year capital plan from what I recall looking at it.
>> Such a buzzkill, Paul. >> Huh? >> Such a buzzkill. >> Instant. >> Rosewood and Pine I don't think are both in there, but maybe I'm I missed it. But >> and then it' be Pine uh Southeast 16th and 19th, >> right? I'll research that and add that
to my list. Any further discussion on the motion? >> Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Opposed. Same sign. Motion passes. 8 I. Lions Park sign. I lost my sign. Oh,
still. Okay. >> I like 1 A. >> I like 1 A. >> I like one A. >> Oh, yeah. 1A. >> Move to approve 1A. >> Uh seconded.
>> We have a motion and a second to approve sign 1A. >> Any other discussion? >> Seeing none, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? Same sign. Sign 1A is approved. Mike, we'll get that efficiency for you.
>> Right. Exactly. Love it. >> We're known for our efficiency. >> Very well. >> Okay. Staff reports. any verbal update since the packet? >> No, just that we're working on um
regrand opening at JC Park and looking out at the event um there. >> I appreciate the script that was provided for me for Lum Park. >> Yes, thank you for doing that. That was really good. Great feedback from the >> No, no, it was provided to me and I said
the hotter it is, the shorter I speak. >> That's all I have. Thank you. Okay, moving on. Board member reports. >> Oh my, >> was there any verbal ones? >> We go through the >> sent a packet. >> Oh,
>> uh, just for the movies in the park, we have a date for that now. And that's August 8th. Jamanji. >> Nice. >> Again, total buzz kill. I mean, Willy Wonka was clearly the number two on the last one. I mean, >> I totally agree. Golly,
>> I would I would like Willy Wonka at some point. Just noted. >> Let's look at the capital plan. Sorry. >> Oh, okay. Very good. >> Okay. Board member reports. Paul, >> uh, Pine Street Resurfacing Project.
Uh, I don't know if this is an old one, though. It might be, but um Pine Street Resurfacing Project 2026 >> 14th Walnut. >> Heck yeah. >> That would cover that. >> Would hang on one minute. Rosewood.
>> That would be great to add in the angled parking there, Mike. >> Rosewood Street. I just >> uh 11th Ros Street 11th to 15th.
