I'd like to call the order of the champion city council meeting about April 14, the gentleman of pledge allegiance to the flag and The United States Of America Yes, please. I have two additions. The first to add to the consent agenda, the ambulance activities association application for gambling permit. And then a second item we'll do, I'm guessing, under the committee reports for the twenty twenty six Millen overlay project design and observation quote. Item four, consent agenda. You guys probably had a chance to read that over. Looking for a motion to approve.
So moved. Motion by Dave. Looking for a second. Second. Second by Paul. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Item five. Public hearing for the Sheffield Police Department body camera policy review. Shane, do you wanna come up? We'll open up the public hearing for the body camera policy review. As per state statute, we have to have a public meeting before we can implement body cams. And, there is some input where people can say with they don't want them. You know, right now, it's discretionary. We don't have to turn them on.
We can turn them on whenever we think there's gonna be some kind of evidentiary happening going on at that particular call, but they don't have to be on. So there are different times that we probably even won't turn them on, but we'll have them on mostly. They don't record like the squad videos record from the minute that car starts until the minute the car shuts off, but these do not. So these will only record. And we also have to set a certain amount of time we can hold on to the retention for different videos and I will have the ability to redact if
someone should request the video. So we're pretty well set up on that. And statute also sets up what can be requested and what can't be requested and what needs to be redacted and everything. So, we're real close to being able. One car is set up, and now the new car just went up Friday. So everything will be put into that car so that everything will be going into our new system and then going into the cloud, which is how these will work too, which is we've got a docking station that once at the end of your shift,
the officers will be assigned a body cam. So these will be slapped into a dock and everything just uploads to the cloud. So we're real close to being ready. Anybody from the public have anything from Shane? Okay. I'm gonna close it now. Okay. It's looking to close this public hearing on the body cameras. Thank you, Shane. Okay. Thank you. Item 62027 MnDOT project presentation. Paul, come on out. Okay. Where would you like me to stand? You can sit right over here in the mic. Right over here because that way, they can get you on the camera.
We're going live on TV now. Yes. That will kill your ratings. All right. Many of you probably were at our open house meeting we had last year. We had one in Chatfield and one in Fountain for this project because the project spans from Chatfield all the way down to Fountain. Since then, we've also, held separate meetings in Fountain for a closure of one of their roads as well as a meeting with the the golf course here in Chatfield because we're gonna be interfering with their operations and buying some of their right of way in order to
replace one of the box culvert bridges that's in their near their facility. So we are doing some outreach, and this is part of the outreach. And then we'll be back out again with 60% plans, which are gonna be far more detailed than what I have today, to discuss with you. That'll probably be happening next year. So this is just part of the process of what we're doing. So we'll we'll focus on the North End of the the project beginning in North End Of Chatfield. It's on the screen right now.
I'm having difficulty reading that. But, what we're doing is we're replacing and repairing one eighty eight ped ramp on the far North end. And then the other piece of work that we're gonna be doing is we're gonna be adding a right turn lane for southbound Trunk Highway 52 to turn south on Cassaw 5. When we when we do that, the green lines that you see there are the existing MnDOT right of way lines. That's what we currently own, fee right right of way. The red line,
that you see there is the easement line that we're looking to get. And if the if there's a purple line, that's supposed to be a limits of disturbed soil, I might see that in some of the other locations. But mostly, the project will be a mill and overlay that will be done in the the second year of the project. The first year of this project is gonna focus on the bridge replacements and some of the other bigger items such as, at County Road 40, just south of the city. We are gonna be putting in a bypass lane. To do that,
we're gonna be blasting a rock ledge out on the West Side Of 52 there. Obviously, we don't want traffic in that area when we're doing that, So they'll be detoured at that time. The detour that we're looking at using is essentially Third Street, up to, I think it's Minnesota 30. And then as Minnesota 30 curls around on the East Side Of Chatfield and starts heading south, it takes a hard left turn and connects with County Road 11 in a T intersection format, and we'll be going from Third Street to 30 to County Road 11 in Tafon.
That will be the official detour. When we were talking to the township, that was a major concern for them is the, you know, how are they gonna be compensated for their their issues, and we've we've conveyed our process of how we would pay them for any overuse of of unofficial detour activity. One of the other things that they, brought up that, may be of interest to you is they're currently looking at doing right there where you're at, there is a small memorial right there, and we're gonna be paving that little section of road.
But the township is actually interested in in putting a veteran's memorial somewhere in that general vicinity. It might be in the triangular piece of land that's owned by the city there, or it might be behind the trees on that other lot. They're still trying to figure that out. And they're coordinating with our, with our staff at MnDOT that that are responsible for the monuments that are put up. But, it will if it gets put in, it likely will be incorporated into this plan just like the paving of that little
room by that, current monument that is there. Did you say in that triangular area that we own? I believe that's, so Well, I don't think we own that. We I know the GIS map say we do, but we had an our attorney review, land swap that we did and or land purchase. Excuse me. Okay. Well But, I mean, hey. If you if you wanna just give that to us too, I That'd be awesome. Well, that will get worked out through the process. I mean, again, these these, drawings are pretty rudimentary right now.
Their broad strokes are not fully defined. And let's see, is that where the golf course is right there? Yes. Yes. Coming up farther. Yes. Keep going further. Right there, I think. Okay. That orange area there is where the box culvert generally is. The yellow represents what we think will be the disturbed soil. And then that yellow there where the for is for where we're gonna extend the right turn lane for the northbound 52 to turn right, onto, I believe,
that's Winona Street. Yep. So we are extending that right turn lane as well with this project. Because of the proximity to the rest of the, the bridge there, that might be all wrapped up into one work zone and done at one time rather than trying to piecemeal it together later on. And then we'll, see what else is out there. I don't think there's any purple on this, is there? Yep. There is. Okay. The purple line is where the soil disturbances are anticipated. That'll be the limit where we have to pull back the soil and limit it. The red is,
again, the easement area that we're looking. Some of it will be temporary. Some of it will be permanent. The golf course was concerned about seed mixes for our disturbance of their golf course lanes, and we told them if they give us the seed mix, we'll order this the proper seed mix for it to restore it in kind. That right away, which remains, state property under fee acquisition, we'll get a standard MnDOT, natural seed mix that we use everywhere. So alright. And right there, we have a existing bypass lane. I can't make out what the street name is there.
It's El Segrest. El Segrest. Okay. We are doing an improvement, that we funded through a bike investment route, grant where we're going to add four feet of paved shoulder onto every existing bypass lane and every new bypass lane. It's going to have a four foot wide of additional paved shoulder, just for future. So you're not driving on the edge of the pavement all the time. That's considered a safety improvement as well. Is that just going from the red mark to the red mark?
Yes. Or is that continuing so No, it's just where the bypass lane is. It's limited in scope and the funding is limited to just the bypass. It's a bypass improvement. And then as you track further south, we have met with a couple of the other entities out here, and we are going to be apparently, there's at the truck station, I think we may have passed it up already, There's a trucking company Mhmm. On Novinski. I'll go back to the Norm. Novotny. Novotny. Thank you. I said the next one.
Oh, well, that helps. Apparently, there was a a mistake or some confusion about the main entrance there. It's it's like gravel. I think we're gonna be paving that around the radius, with this project as well. That's it's not an improvement. It's just something that didn't get done last time to it's an oversight. So that will be corrected with this one. Okay. Most of the road, again, is gonna be just a mill and overlay, but you won't see that work until the second year. The first year is gonna be focusing on the bridges and some of the major
construction. Let's see. Where are we right now? For the It's going right at the golf course. Okay. That's Atouille. Atouille. Yep. Shoulder widening Yeah. At by Vaseline. We're not really impacting them terribly. We're just gonna be paving around the corner. Yeah. Right where your cursor is there, there's not gonna be any, turn lane going in there, is there? I can't read what that red text says. It says shoulder widening at bypass lane. It's okay. So it's a bypass lane that's there, and we're widening it for the four foot shoulder. Okay. I was just curious because that bare piece of land,
that's development land and then that other one there, if you're ever to do something in there, part of the engineering that was done on that called for just to have a turn lane put in on something that had to go to Mindon. So I was just curious. We had heard that parcel of land may be developed into something. They're proceeding with that. What we would likely be doing is we would close one of the accesses there to Strongwell, the closest one, and we would do a joint, access for that.
And then that would put you put we'd put the right turn lane in at that time. K. Most of this is fairly straightforward until you get further south. There are some culvert linings and some dish I think that's one of the culvert is that a culvert replacement or a culvert lining? I can't tell. Clean out, clean ditch, clean culvert, clean ditch. Yes. So we're not really impacting the roadway. One of the questions that the township brought up is, well, are you closing the road when you're doing this? And the answer is yes and no. We're closing segments of the road out because you can't you can't replace a bridge
without closing the road. But, you know, the rest of the road won't be necessarily affected that first year. In the second year, what we'll do is we'll mill and overlay the entire road section, and we'll just do that with a pilot car and flagging operation, one lane at a time. But that's year two. If you proceed further south Just about the 40. Okay. We're at County Road 40. Just north of 40, there is a box culvert bridge that's there that's gonna be removed that conveys the
water from the east or the west side to the east side and then underneath County Road 40 and then to the south. That's how the water flows today. What we're gonna be doing is we're replacing that box culvert bridge with just a standard circular pipe culvert. It will tie into a a structure on the other side of 52 there by County Road 40. And, we will extend the pipe from the culvert underneath County Road 40 to that structure so they will be tied together. Then we're gonna in we're gonna we're gonna fill in a lot of that that
in slope area there and make it more gentle. That's one of the bigger improvements of where the bridges are you're gonna see is that we're gonna be removing some of the guardrail around where the bridges are right now because we're gonna change the in slopes from the one to one or one and a half to one that's there right now to four to one to the clear zone. And then after the clear zone, it'll break three to one. So we don't need guardrail around the box culvert bridges. There will still be places where we do need, guardrail,
but one of the concerns that, was raised again by the township was that, based on our new standards, we have to have two feet of bench behind the the post, and that's pushing the the the, the guardrail closer to the road surface. And, you know, with the farm equipment that's out here, that's a concern. Hopefully, it'll be a minimal concern. Our thought right now is we will try our best to build additional widening of the of the end slope just so we can get the bench back there without pushing the the guardrail closer to the road.
The other concern that was raised, by one of the gentlemen in the township was the northbound, 52 right turn onto County Road 40. So we're actually looking at what we can do to possibly assist and help make that maneuver a little bit easier for truck traffic. He also commented that there's a sight distance issue when you're coming on 4252. Looking north, there's trees and rock that might be in the way. I'll be looking at that this weekend.
I wanna drive down there just specifically to look at that during daylight to see how bad it is. From the picture, it doesn't look that bad, but pictures don't tell the whole story. If we think that there is a significant enough problem, we will be looking at maybe doing some additional tree removal on clearing. I don't know if that's a rock ledge over there also, but it's hard to say till we go out there and take a look at it. But we are aware of that situation, and we are gonna be evaluating it. The rest of the box culverts, we're basically just replacing what's there with the exception of the Devaney.
Is it Delaney. Delaney. That's what I just went by. Yeah. They One of those two right there. Yeah. There's two box culverts there, and there's two box culverts north of there. Right now, those two box culverts were designed originally, for conveyance of water only, although one of them is admittedly being used as a cattle pass. What we're doing there is we are formalizing the one culvert will be designed as a official cattle pass and written into the, right away agreements for that.
So each there'll be two cattle passes there. They will be the cattle pass will be two feet higher than the than the one that's officially for the water. But if the water level gets high enough, the cattle pass will still convey water. But it'll be a separate separated into two distinct items. That's the two south of where you're at right now. Alright. Now we're getting close to, the Rutt River area, I believe. A little farther. Yeah. Yeah. We're on another curve. Okay. Right there,
we've got a bridge that's off the right of way that was part of the original alignment. It's Bridge 6119. It's that little red circle you see to the right on the right there. We will be removing that. When we remove that, the fear is is that the road is too close to the edge of the downslope. So we're gonna be gently shifting the road a little bit further to the north. Shouldn't be a major impact for the residents there, But we the state wants to remove the box culvert because it's a liability for
us, to maintain a bridge that really serves no public use. So that will be removed, and it'll just return to a nat a natural, ditch or or a channel for the water. The other box culvert, I was told was replaced back in 1985. It is also being replaced because, we've during the box culvert inspections, we've noticed, some spalding, that's a breaking up of the concrete as well as some, for lack of a better term, I'll call it rust bleed. You'll start seeing an orange staining on the inside of the box culvert.
That usually is an indication that the structural steel might be impacted and is failing. So rather than waiting for it to fail, we're just going to replace it now. And hopefully, we don't have that problem in the future. At the Root River, I believe the document or the KMZ file here that we've got says that we're going to be replacing the approach panels in the end post, and we are not. We talked to the bridge office about this. They have a new technique that we're going to implement here on this bridge and
also at the Rice Creek Bridge where we don't have to replace the box or the approach panels and end post. It's just a different way to connect onto the bridge rail. It's also cheaper. So that's any way we can save us some money, that's a positive. The rest area there, the Parsley Bridge rest area, Wrong way. Other way, I think. Alright. I had to zoom out. Not there. Right there. We have a joint powers agreement with the DNR where, we are responsible for the major maintenance of that facility, and they're responsible for minor maintenance activities,
which essentially means we're responsible for all the pavement, pavement marking, any controllable, state signing we would do. Any DNR signing is their responsibility. They also have the responsibility of providing picnic tables and cleaning up the rest of or the restroom areas and maintenance, like, of that nature. That's theirs. The rest of it's ours. We're not gonna be doing a whole lot in here other than there's a couple of ADA ramps that need to be updated to meet current standards. So we have the one ramp in Chatfield.
We have two or three here, and we have two ramps in Fountain, and that's it for ADA. It's not a lot, but there is some. This is also where it's being tentatively perceived to be a good location to I or to locate our construction field office. It wouldn't close down the rest area, but it would definitely take up a a big portion of it. But it's centrally located. It's right close to where the bridge work is where a lot of activity is going to be going on in the first year. It does make sense. We got electricity there.
We also have a bathroom facility there. It's a good candidate. But, and I believe there's a buy is there a bypass lane here too that, we're gonna be widening the shoulder on? Yes. So that's what that little red area is representing is, we'll do something in that general area to widen. That's you know, the rest of it is pretty much uneventful until you get down to we do have some culvert cleanings along the way. It's mostly paving work that'll be done in the second year. Once you get to Nelson Hill area,
we do have a couple of items that we're going to be doing in that area. It's just a bypass lane there, I believe. Yeah. But, we were looking at some of the curves there along Nelson Hill, and we would like to recommend some additional pool clearing on both sides to help improve lines of sight because you can't really see some of the cars coming up at you or down on you. We think that will be beneficial and helpful. It's also a low cost improvement that we can do for that area.
There is also some discussion about, changing the super elevation in that area, which we think might, be contributing to some of the problems with the crashes in that area. And then there's a there's another box culvert crossing right there, that we definitely have some pavement problems going on near that, and we're gonna have to look at as to how do we fix that. It appears the some of the gravel is eroding from underneath the, the paved shoulder.
And, obviously, that's not something we wanna make you know, we wanna just avoid. We wanna fix that. The the culvert itself is, we're looking at lining it with a 42 inch pipe and leaving it there. The box culvert will stay there, but there's gonna be a 42 inch pipe that will convey all the water. And then we'll put riprap down the the embankment there down to the river. Then there's a culvert replacement right at Jasmine Drive there. That will probably be likely done in the first year just because it would require
a closure of the road. Now for that pipe particular, removal, that won't take as long as some of the box covers because it's not as deep. The the box culvert at the, the golf course, for instance, we estimate that to take six weeks to excavate it, maintain the channel, remove the box culvert that's there and drop in a new box culvert and then backfill and do all the compaction all the way up. So there's six weeks of time. We are planning on doing this on five days a week of work.
We will work weekends if we get behind on schedule. And if the weather delays us, we will use weekends to, catch up on. But the general plan is if we can, we want to build it just during the five days a week. Is there anything else there that's just interesting? Cleaning culverts. Mostly minor work. We did encounter a sinkhole down in Fountain, but that's probably of great interest to you. There's a few of them down there. There is that. But again, this is a snapshot in time. If you wanna share it with anybody else,
feel free to. There's nothing top secret about this. Okay. Now we're into Fountain, aren't we? Yep. Okay. So the big change here in Fountain is we are gonna be building a a crossing sidewalk crossing or at least a, pedestrian ramps, by the church, on the north end right there. I think that's it, isn't it? Yes. This is the church. Yes. We're on the north end of that intersection right there, their ADA department or the ADA section of MnDOT identified this as a,
very highly likely, traveled use path because of the housing development on one side of the road and the church on the other side. And we did we're not really doing anything for ADA improvements in in Fountain other than that one. So that that's it. If you the other big improvement down in Fountain is we are closing and realigning, West Eighth right there. We're closing Third Street and realigning West Eighth County Road West Eighth. We're going to try to make it more, squared up.
This will it's a safer intersection that way because you get better visibility looking both ways rather than trying to over look over your shoulder, you know, 190 degrees. It's just not convenient or or safe. With that, we are buying right away. We are talking to the city about the cul de sac. We gave them the option. You could do a cul de sac or a a hammerhead that they decided that we're gonna go with a cul de sac. So we said we will we will pay for that. And with both, the city of Chatfield and the city of Fountain,
we will be asking later on once we have a little bit more detailed information to provide, to to possibly sign off on a resolution to waive municipal consent. From from our perspective, that would help us with our schedule because we're a little bit behind right now. From both the city of Chatfield and the city of Fones perspective, these the state is paying for the entire project. The only cost to either city will be if if we have to relocate a city owned utility. That's it. That's pretty minimal cost as far as projects go today.
I don't have that resolution crafted yet. Once I get that crafted, I will be sending it to Michelle and to the city of Fountain. But it is something that we would like you to consider largely because, we're also working with the local property owners that are being impacted and talking to them as well and taking into account their concerns and their advice about what they want. So that's that's what we're doing right now. Again, this is an early look. One next year when we have the 60% plans done,
it will look fairly similar to this but much more detailed. We'll have quantities that you can possibly be looking at. One other thing that shows up on this KMZ that's not true, just keep going further south, to County Road or to Minnesota 80 at the far south end of the project. A little further. Mhmm. Right there. The previous project that was out here, built a driveway into the, I think that's Valley Design or something, facility there, and it was going to be opened up.
But, unfortunately, during construction, it was observed that there the line of sight there is horrible. You have a hill and a curve to the north, and you got a curve to the the south. You cannot make a a clear distinction of, you know, traffic coming through there, so they never opened it. So there's an access there that looks that it looks as if it's been abandoned. It just never was opened. We will be having our maintenance staff remove that. We were thinking about doing it as part of this project but decided not to because that would change our construction limits and that causes other documentation that would have
to be updated that we didn't want to muddy the water. So we will be removing that at some point in the future through a maintenance activity. It won't be tied to the project. Our project ends just north of here at, I think there's an access into Valley Design that we will be closing and that's pretty much right there is the southern end of the limits of the project. Are there any questions or concerns from either the board or Well, just a couple of questions. Not in the city of Chafield, but with the amount of accidents and stuff that happened in Nelson Hill.
One of those, is there any plans of improvement other than the trees where they can't straighten that road out at all? We cannot at this time. The bulk of the funding for the project is being spent on the bridge replacement because of the depth of of excavation that we're talking, that's that's where the money is going. We acknowledge that there there are problems there, but we can only do what we have money. And right now, we're we're losing money. We we just had our budgets cut by 20,000,000.
And the other We might get that money back. I've always amazed at how money moves around in MaineDOT. It's like it's here and it's not there. It's but And the other question I had is you mentioned improvements in Fountain ADA wise and stuff from getting across by the church there and that other housing development. Yeah. And our south end of town, we've got the lone stone connection that's out there that we have sidewalks to go from there along Saint Albans Place that gets right to the edge of 52 and stuff by the golf course.
Mhmm. We are part of our safe routes to school, plan that is also out here is showing that that that's a problematic area. That if there's any way to incorporate into this too, getting a pedestrian crossing there into the adjoining properties to go to go path would be a huge asset here for us too. Seeing as you're only at the 60% stage, we're not sure. Yes, we're not even at 60%. So you're a pretty good chance to get that in there. We're at 30% right now. We have looked at a pedestrian crossing there on the surface,
And our traffic individuals have reviewed that, and they believe it's the speeds of the road is too unsafe. Maybe lower the speeds. Put some lights up. I can't lower the the speed of the road. And I I believe the speed of the road was increased just fairly recently, wasn't it? 45 out there. Yeah. Been there for a while. It's been that way for a while. And lower, actually. It's slowing it up. Yeah. Got that shot. But it was 54 underneath the road. It's been since I've been here. No. K. And then, I mean, it's gonna be not gonna be any,
you know, faster than what Fountain's deal with right now. So That's one of those you just need the walking path right underneath there. The location should match. Well, again, I would to that particular question, I would defer to our traffic group, to respond to that because I know Dave's saying is he's on top of all the pedestrian safety issues, in the district. So he's probably aware of it and give you a better response to why it's not in this plan at this time. It is something that Mike does bring up a real good point. I mean, this is it wouldn't be considered technically your one shot at it.
But if there's a shot that the City of Chatfield has to do something right now, this project is is in. I mean, if you're looking at it from if you can throw everything on the table before anything is done and constructed, you're going to have the crew sitting there to be able to do something along those lines. And that for us on a development standpoint, that's real tough right there. I mean, you got kids that cannot go literally anywhere. I mean, they they can go try to cross that, but, I mean, you from us, you want I mean,
one kid getting hit, it's gonna be just a PR nightmare. You know? Oh, I I agree with you on that. And when we worked with you guys on the other project, right, one thing when we had that that meeting and we threw out a lot of these ideas that we were hopeful for, it's one of those that if you put on at least a wish list that where you can talk about it and emphasize it, I just feel like MnDOT's done a really good job as, you know, taking in that that input and being very flexible on what, you know, how they provide things for a project. So I when we do the 60% meeting,
I'm hoping to bring out the the role plots that we had from the 30% and mount those on the wall where the comments were written on them, so, you know, we can look at them together and you can say, oh, yeah. We did comment on that. But, you know, we've been out of the office now for quite a while, and, I hope those files are still in my office. But, we will be coming back out for the 60% and talking about that. I will, as Michelle probably knows, I do take my own meeting minutes of, meetings and, share them too with my supervisors
and what's of importance, and I will definitely make that I'll raise that issue again, but it will go to traffic for their their their blessing and concern. Oh, and if it's if it's not at that spot then where where else can we do it, I guess, is what the question I would ask the traffic. Anybody else? I don't have an answer for you. Right. Item six b, pool staff. Looking for a motion to approve. Did we close the public? I did that before. Did you close it now? Mhmm. We need to close the public.
No, yes, he did close the public care. Not good. Body cams. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay. Department reports. I think we already did the police. Oh, right now we have to vote on the policy. On the policy? Mhmm. Looking for a motion to approve on the body cam policy. So moved. Motion by Josh. Okay. CCTV has got a GoPro camera purchase. Why do you want to talk about that? Well, I just is that something that we can raise that limit up like we talked about from the minutes? I just don't want them getting into a situation where we have to come back
for forty dollars fifty dollars for a battery here and there. It just matters how you make the motion. Okay. I'm going to so it says $350 at our meeting. We actually talked about going up to $650 We're not going to spend $650 That's not the intent. The intent was just a $7 amount for some flexibility in case there is a few extras that we didn't we do have it in the budget for it. So I'd make a motion that we allow up to $650 for a purchase. And then we're also just just a side note on that, not on that, but we're gonna have or,
excuse me, ask the school for half that donation. So $6.50? Yep. You hear what the staff recommendation was adding the 300 to the deal looking for the motion to be approved. So So how come you're asking the school for a part? Because it's more it's going to be more sports specific. And part of the theory on that is is although it is gonna benefit us and we can, it it's gonna limit how many people because we're having a hard time with we are having a hard time having getting enough people to run the camera.
Also, when when you just use it out of your reserve, the capital like, your capital when does it be just like another camera? It's more yeah. It would be, but it wasn't budgeted. And and my thought is, anyways, on it, is is it it's more sports related than it is, and we're gonna try to so this isn't a necessity to get we're not gonna use this for the parade. We're not gonna use this here, per se. I get it. No. My following, but if so in other words, if we wanted I I'm just going to turn it around on you. So if then if we wanted to do something at the city,
that benefit the city more than it benefited sports, would we do the same thing? I mean, I think just the way the I mean, I'm fine you can ask. It's no big deal. But I think the way it's set up is we're fifty-fifty kind of regardless on the capital goods. I mean, that's fine. It's a small enough purchase you can ask, and I don't think it'll be an issue. But in my mind, I don't know why we would pick and choose something where we would It was more of an ask because it's gonna be more dedicated straight straight to the baseball side. It's not gonna be necessarily But but I right. I know I I forget where you're coming from. I guess that that's the reasoning behind it.
You know? If to me, if it was more of a multifunctional item, I probably wouldn't even be thinking of that. And, yes, we have $650 in the budget. It's a very small dollar amount. It's just for what it's it's tailor made to do. They're they're asking for it. So that's kinda I'm following you. I just what I meant was if so, at CCTV, out of Capital Goods, is gonna play for a portion, then you're gonna ask the school to pay it for. We're gonna be on hook for all of it. We're gonna go back if the school wants to donate for it, and so be it. That's not contingent on what we're actually asking for.
The Okay. Reasoning is is because it's it's more sports specific than it is anything, you know, else. And we, as a city, don't, you know, post sports. So that was the rhyme and reason, kind of. I think I'm following you. Either way, it's fine. I can tell you what I get what you're saying. It's just it's just because of more of the specific, you know, nature of what it's gonna be used for. You're not gonna see it set up here. You're not gonna see it set up on the parade, items like that. So you had made the motion. Correct. I'll get them off. I'll Got further discussion. All those in favor? Aye.
Opposed? Perfect. Anybody? On the committee reports. Personnel budget? I can take personnel budget. Basically, just went over, closing out a couple accounts that we did in our right at the beginning of our consent agenda. And then, Brian had gotten some estimates on, city, you know, cameras for here, the park, and all that other stuff. We're waiting on a second quote for those, so no action there. We're gonna bring back the sale of the ambulance.
I think we're just gonna put it on a public surplus or what else. So that'll be coming back. We approved public works seasonal positions already. We talked about some closed captioning, that would go on with, like, our meetings here and stuff. That'll be coming back. We already approved the pool staff. And then we're we're digging into some, sewer billing stuff. There might have been a little discrepancy in our sewer billing going so far. So we're just taking a look at that, and we'll be bringing that back as well. I missed anything.
Alright. Sounds like I got it. Worked. Well, you're taking that one. I missed it. Yeah. The bucket truck repair has been done, and that's back in service. We're working on the tool cat and the snowblower and the broom attachments to go along with it for upgrade. We're on the three year rotation, and, everything looks like it's fitting in our forecasted price range. But they may they're so they'll be coming back, but they're taking a look at whether they'll get one with the the three point back end or a dump box back end. They may make a switch. I think we have the 3.1 now,
and they may they may want one with the service the dump body on the back. So they're gonna clarify that, and then that'll be coming back. The snowflow truck that was damaged in the last snowfall or whatever that apparently is all done and ready to be picked up. We started discussing the mill and overlay project. Ryan and the guys and Craig, I think of anyway, the streets have been identified and then maybe some curves that need to be replaced and manuals and just everything that's related to it. And so we talked about that, and also, we okayed and brought it on tonight too.
Okay. The we had a in in our a quote in the packet for the design specs, bidding, observation, the whole nine yards from Craig's firm from with us. And so we wanted to start the process and okay that, award that contractor, sign that, however you wanna look at it, agree to it, and then they'll get to work on start putting some stuff together for us on that for pricing so we can start. There's a couple of things that came out of the meeting. One is is, the quote for Blacktop was one price two years from now or a year and
a half from now to what it is now or maybe next year. So and it's substantial. So we thought maybe we could start quantifying some streets and the work that needs to be done to start putting some estimated prices to that to see if maybe we move the project up a little bit and save some money or there's anyway, but we need to involve them to get started on that. They go away from guessing how much something's gonna cost to get a little bit closer. So there is in our it's not on the main it's not on your rate, the 27,000. If you're if you're on I legislate Right below you.
It should be there. Okay. If you're on the website, it's not. Nope. I'm on there. So, anyway, we want to bring that forward tonight to to sign up with them and move that move that along. So you're looking for a motion? I'm looking for a motion for that. Looking for a motion to sign up with the outfit to get some stuff together for that. For motion. The engineering services. That's the one that kept going by my head anyway that do the engineering services for the mill and overlay project that we're planning on doing in 2026. Okay. And that's your recommendation. Looking for a motion to approve.
Motion by Josh, looking for a second. Second. Second by Dave. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Perfect. Is that it? And let's see what else what else was left on there. There's I think there's a couple of things at the bottom on there. Mhmm. I'm getting back there. I went to the then Steven was in, and they were it's is that gonna come back? Is he going ahead with that? Yes. He's just going ahead with that. He's going ahead with that. So we do the annual pump inspection, so all the pumps that Steven and the guys line up. And we were paying a couple of different quotes,
and he's using a different service, a different company than we used in the past couple of years. And so I if I left it the way I think it does, you're gonna start out with those guys and we're see how it goes and possibly sign up for a three year. We can lock in for if it goes well, we can lock in for a three year pricing schedule that'll stay the same for the next three years. So that'll be, sort of moving there. He gave us an update on some the stuff that's in the news, the PFA. And, so now they have to they're starting to test for that. Brian, I think, is gonna go ahead and put a couple children at play or watch for children
signs on old old territorial up by the houses and apartments partway up the hill. You know? You know, put a couple signs up there, and we talked a little bit about, after hour call service. That's it. Alright. Perfect. Thanks, Paul and Mike. Down to mayor's report. We get the twenty twenty five Arbor Day Proclamation. Whereas Arbor Day reminds us of the significance of trees acknowledging the role in the economy, culture, history and future of our communities and whereas the act of planting trees ensures the
legacy of a shaded parks, thriving forests and healthy ecosystems for the future and whereas the trees provide clean air and water, capture and store carbon from the atmosphere to offset greenhouse gases, greenhouse gas emissions and provide shade, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, wood products and jobs and whereas Minnesota has a proud tradition of residents and organizations working together to plant and care for the trees that foster resilient communities and whereas
people in Minnesota can create and nurture robust tree canopies for generations to come by thoroughly choosing, planting and caring for a diverse mix of trees that provide long term community and environmental benefits for us all. Now, therefore, I, John McGrew, mayor of the City Of Chatfield, do hereby proclaim Friday, April 25 as Arbor Day. And I don't know if we had any candidates for library board. We had a resignation from the library board. Nobody.
So if there's anybody out there who have a little time to donate and be off the list of, getting on the library board, I won't say what I was told when I'm gonna put my or I was gonna get put on the library board. Nobody wants to be on the library board, but I know I, Dave, we both enjoyed being on the library board. So if anybody has any free time, feel free to reach out to Michelle or whatever. We can get you signed up. So on that note, I'm good. So we'll go down to Michelle, administrator reporter. I don't have anything this evening.
Alright. Down to round table. Beth? I'm good. Thanks. Pam? Dave? Hey, nothing. Paul. Good. Mike? Yeah. Just a couple things. Vandalism has been back around town again. I mean, our salt shed got hit, some back of some signs, some trailers, semi trailers. One that also, just people, you know, be courteous. Parents talk to your kids. Not saying it's necessarily kids. One that also takes a lot of city time to go around to clean that stuff up and cost Private people a lot of money to be dealing with that.
It also hits our, our outhouses and our skate park from time to time. And then, the other thing is, citywide trash and treasure. Days are coming up and whatnot else, and as people know, if you got some of that clutter around your house or stuff that you can't get rid of or whatnot else, try to get it out and get it up to the curbs and whatnot else to It's a good time to make our town look even better than it already does. So I love it. Josh? Good. Looking for a motion to adjourn. So moved. Motion by Mike. Looking for a second.
Second. Second by Pam. Any further discussion? All those in favor? Aye. Opposed. Good night, everybody.
