One. With it being 06:00, we'll call a meeting to order and start with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Alright. With that, we'll go roll call. Roll call. Roll call. Roll call, please. Laura here. Steichen here. Nash. And Olson. With that, we have our consent agenda. And or, actually, we have our agenda for approval. I didn't see any additions, subtractions. Everything's solid now. Alright. With that, I will entertain a motion for our agenda.
Steak and so move. Second. Motion by Dave. Second by Amber. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. K. Get go ahead. I just got it. With that, as we move on to number four, we're just hitting our consent agenda. I'll give you a moment to review the consent. Motion to approve the consent agenda. I have a motion by Nash. Second. And a second by Peterson. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. With that, does move us to number five. Peyton, has there been any request to speak before counsel this evening?
None received. Once again, encourage the public to participate in our process. That is the way that we will ensure we're making progress. With that does move us to number six. We have, recognize recognition. We have resolution 2536 accepting a donation from Northwestern Bank for night to unite. Chief. Mister mayor, council members, we graciously accept this $100 donation from Northwestern Bank for Night two Nights activities. So again, thank you to Night two, thank you to Northwestern Bank. It's fantastic. Questions for the chief? Alright. Thank you very much, chief. Thank you.
I will entertain a motion for resolution 2536. Motion to approve. I have a motion by Nash Syken, second. And a second by Syken. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. With that, it does move us on to number seven. Seven a is consideration of the commercial tax abatement agreement with OZ Development, LLC, The Milton. Don, are you fielding this one? I see you moving into position. I am moving into position. Thank you, mayor. Mayor and council, tonight in front of you is a commercial tax abatement agreement with Oz Development, and that's for the new commercial building out there known as Milton.
So the abatement agreement is in front of you. It's a five year abatement, which you had previously approved. Maximum abatement to the city of City of Dilworth property taxes for this commercial project over the five year time period is $8,774 And we recommend staff recommend approval of the of the abatement agreement. Any questions for Donald? Well, hearing no questions, I will entertain a motion for the commercial tax abatement agreement with Oz Development. So moved.
I have a motion by Nash. Second. And a second by Borra. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. It does bring us to seven Bravo, consideration of the multifamily tax abatement agreement with Rail ten Lofts LLC, Rail ten Apartments Phase two. For Tony. Mayor and city council should handle the guy. Preliminarily approved the tax increment for this. This is the agreement is from you tonight. And, staff is recommending approval of the agreement. We do have, we will need a clarification regarding payment dates.
I'm not quite sure. I've got a response from the other partner, regarding payment dates. We just need to have some language clarified in there on that and then also to a correction in the developer address. Otherwise, the agreement is ready for you to approve. Questions from counsel? K. Hearing Yeah. No. So, like, do we know what's the deal with the address, or what do we need? It's just a a clarification with the address. They've got I've got a different address I need to put into the agreement. Okay. And then Not the not the building address.
Our our actual It's corporate. Mailing address. Yeah. They're corporate address. Just the PO box change, I think, maybe in the meantime. Okay. Do we need to approve it with the amendments? Or just we can approve it with the verification of address and payments. And payment date. And I think it regards the city payments in years three, four, and five, but I'm not certain. I was looking at at, I just received correspondence from the developer, and just how it works. In years one and two, the county pay that pays that out to the developer. We do not have control over those payment dates, but we do have control in years three,
four, and five because we receive the abatement in the form of taxes a year ahead. We pay out the year following. So that's usually done on February 1, which is in the agreement. We just have to sort out, I don't know if it's a misunderstanding or sort out maybe add a word or two in. But, essentially, it's gonna be the same. So any approval is just contingent upon clarifying that one. Clarifying that one. Materially change anything with the contractors. The numbers stay the same. Yep. Correct. Wanna everybody Yeah. It's just making a little clerical change on there.
So so let's make sure that our our motion does identify the changes with the payment dates for years three, four, and five along with the clarification of the address. How many of that motion? I have a motion by, Peterson. Second. Oh, go ahead. And a second by Steichen. They're by Nash. Yeah. I have a motion by Peterson and a second by Steichen for the consideration for multifamily tax abatement. Any further questions, comments, concerns? Hearing none, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. K. Thank you. Okay. Thanks, gentlemen. Appreciate it,
guys. Yeah. Thank you. A little work to do, but it'll it'll all buff up. With that, it does bring up the seven Charlie, discussion on 30 Fourth Street Energy Park and infrastructure improvements. Don? Mayor and council, city staff has been meeting with RESCO, that's the Rural Electric Supply Cooperative, and Red River Valley Co Op concerning opportunity to extend City Water and Centenary Sewer utilities to serve their future facilities, in the newly platted area adjacent to 30 Fourth Street and 20 Eighth Avenue North. This extension of the utilities would parallel,
30 Fourth Street North. This is an opportunity that benefit both the businesses and the city. For the businesses, extension of City Water would assist with both provision of potable water and supply their fire suppression systems, I think especially for Resco. For the cities, it would extend utilities that would provide, service to the area be that is currently being considered for future, commercial light industrial development. Potentially, using the tax value of the newly constructed facilities, in combination with a potential for special assessments, it would drive the funding for the 1,700,000.0,
that it would cost it's estimated cost to put in the water and sewer. So it'd be a combination of tax increment, tax abatement, and potentially special assessments. What we're asking is that if if, if you would allow staff to our staff to continue to meet with, our developers and our consultants to work on this concept and bring it back to you. Thank you, Don. Questions from the council? So we already have the we have one area already outside the city limits that we have issue had issues with with the water. That's one of my concerns.
I guess that what I I need to know a little bit more about I mean, that's a long way to run with water without anything developed in between. So can you tell me more about the funding, how it how we're gonna cover that? I mean, I know you laid out, like, tax increment, tax abatement, all that, but I I'm not getting how we're gonna cover that 1.7. Yes. With the building values alone, being newly built using the taxes, which would capture through tax increment, and then if the tax increment,
I believe it'd be seven years. If not long enough, we could catch the rest of it with abatement going from there forward. Those alone would be enough to pay for the improvements. So we would be using the taxes captured from the new development from Resco and from Red River Valley. Resco is gonna be building, I think, within the next year or so, and they actually the numbers we ran initially were for a smaller facility. You guys are actually gonna build a larger facility, which would even have greater assessed valuation to assist in making sure that the,
the cost of the utilities, would be covered, installation of them. And, this would not happen unless we annex the property into the city. Absolutely. So we'd have to annex all the way out to County 18, is that what you're saying? Yes. Yes, mayor. What does that do to the taxable value to the farmer that owns the rest of the land? It's it's ag value if there No change? There should be no change. K. That's fair. It would have an effect on the township. It would. Yes. It would.
It would be like we've done with the other annexations, once it comes in, we have to pay what that difference is in, I think, two for over a two year span if memory serves. Mhmm. So it would cost us to yes. K. So And what would we can I ask you? Please. Thank you. So the increment and the abatement, we would have used for other city services, typically. But now we're just, like, covering the cost of what we're not going to be able to recover until anyone else builds between here and there?
Is that Well the proposal? Yeah. If if we if we don't annex it, if we allow them just to build, obviously, the valuation goes to the county, the township, school district, and that. If we annex it and capture that value, we can use it to bring those utilities up there. Otherwise, at some point in the future, if we decide to go up there and develop park, we either have to find EDA financing and special or a combination of special assessments, potentially EDA financing or the city financing to develop all the way up there.
We have an opportunity now to get the water and the sanitary sewer extended using the valuation of those buildings. So, otherwise, there will have to be other financing at some point in the future to make that same extension of those utilities. And so if we're thinking at all about developing that area as a commercial, you know, light industrial park, This is an excellent opportunity to get the utilities in place now. And, really, what we're asking for tonight is just to continue to work on this. You know, obviously, you would see all the higher dollars,
all the higher numbers, and everything when we get every get it all put together. But it is feasible, that's why we're asking for that, and both Resco and Red River Valley are willing to work with us on that. Any other questions? I did I did wanna make one other notation. This becoming annexed in would trigger the provision in our agreement with the City of Moorhead from a maintenance perspective. That all is gonna be part of our, I guess, investigative work. You know, Don's not coming to you this evening with a blessing to do this project.
He's just more so wanting the council's blessing to look into this further. We have an interested party or two parties, you know, who are both here. They wanna be in the city limits. We can only do it, and they know this, if it only makes dollars and cents for us. And so there's gonna be, you know, an action plan that we'll put together with five or six different considerations, road improvement, access, utilities, all those things that we're gonna have to evaluate before the city says, yes. We will do this. And, really, that's current Don's purpose this evening, just to give you an update on where we are.
Is this something that the city even wants to entertain? If not, we'll cut it off from here, their understanding of that. They are looking to on the Resco side, I believe, up to an $18,000,000 investment there. And, then Red River is gonna have their own investment as well. Hopefully, this will be part of a future energy park and other commercial development when they'll be. I don't know. And that's sort of what's in the back of all of our minds with all this. But this does present a opportunity for us to at least get the utilities up there.
That $1.71700000.0 dollar number, incredibly rudimentary, obviously, that Andrew put together. There'll be other components that go into the developmental side of this, and so that cost may vary. You know, it could go up a little bit based upon other, factors and what what type of capacity is needed out there. But this at least gives some sort of an idea of what type of improvements, that would need to be made for them to make this a go and to
be in the city limits. Questions? And if there's any concerns as well that, we could look into. And and also the developers or landowners are here in attendance. If you had any specific questions about what it is they're looking to do, they've been great to work with. Can can you just explain to me one more time, like, how it's going to be funded? Like, this isn't necessarily going to affect our taxes, like, as homeowners. But we're going to be tying up tax dollars in the project until it's essentially repaid or until they pay their
portion of it over seven years? Is it am I Well, the the the tax increment, we've been told from our finance people, could probably be span of seven year period, and then tax abatement would be used after that. You would be tying up the valuation, tying up those taxes as far as con new contribution to the city. So instead of being new contribution to the city tax base for a period of time, they would be used to defease the bonds. But if you're gonna have to money out. Right? Right. Okay. Yeah. And we wouldn't So really,
it doesn't negatively affect No. We're not looking to the city I mean, the utilities of the city or the city general fund to fund this, we wouldn't be bringing it forward if we didn't think we could do it with based on the valuation of the of the facilities being built. Even at high level, has there been any other interest in in buildings such as they're proposing out there? I mean, because I I think it's I think it's a great spot. I don't I guess I need to be talked out of it. I don't know. Don, can you do me one quick favor for everybody?
We don't have any TIF projects on the books right now. Can you give in 50 words or less, if you can do that? There may be a few more. Just explain in general when we're when you're talking about TIF and, increment financing, what that really means, just at a really high level what the intent of it is. Well, tax increment financing is basically if you had just bare ground and you built a building on top of it, the new valuation that's being built would be captured, and it'd be captured annually or whatever it would be to to do certain site
improvements, which under state law, which includes provisional water, sewer, stormwater, utility site improvements, things like that, they can be funded, through the capturing of those taxes basically over a period of time. And my understanding is in this case, they can be captured for seven years. On top of that, once those that time period is done, we could tack on an abatement if there is any further funding that needs to take place, or we could do special assessments too for the remainder of it. Those are things that can be talked about,
can be negotiated, but using abatement, again, is just another way to repair ourselves every year and make payments on those bonds until they're all defused by the projects themselves. Is that helpful? Yeah. So in in short, right, vacant piece of land, the difference in the value between what's there now, nothing versus what is there, that difference is you utilize to fund the infrastructure cost. Jill? So as far as what I would be looking for, again, I was thinking about the triggering of that agreement and what other special assessments come
into play in addition to what this water line would be. And we've already been and they have to or Okay. Already been on the discussion because we talked about the access, what that's gonna cost them as well. They're well we're all well aware of that. Yep. And we were talking about that early on. Yeah. Because they're yeah. I'm just remembering. And, of course, it was years ago that we Yep. Did this, but I'm remembering it triggers things. It does. Yeah. Okay. Can you elaborate on that? From a from a road maintenance perspective, how it works right now on 30 Fourth Street,
we maintain the northbound lane. And in addition to that, with the city of Moorhead, once you access property off of their roadway, they have a charge onto the property so that they can recoup their initial investment on the roadway 30 Fourth Street improvement. So they already transportation. Yeah. So they already have a cost, and I'm saying they Resco and them. They already have a defined number from the city of Moore from the city of Moorhead engineering department.
This is what it's gonna cost you to have an access here at this point. Same thing we had to go through when Aldi came in. And so it's your for first lane cycle. So why why does it work like that? Well, the reason why is that entire roadway is within the city of Morehead. Sure. It'd be one thing if it was shared between the two, but it's not. And there is that maintenance element as well. We would have to evaluate the need for or how we would accommodate that, you know, and talk with Mike and his team. But that's all part of the exploratory stages that we're in right now with it.
We've really only had high level discussions thus far. We really just didn't want to go forward too much forward more without having a discussion with you regarding it to see if we're sort of in sync with where you want to go with this. Other questions from counsel? Well, the way you described it, I mean, it sounds like it's something we should pursue and continue getting more information like you talked about. I don't know. I personally don't see any downside to what you described.
I guess, I think you described it quite well, and explained it quite well, I should say. And I would, be in favor of going forward. I like seeing the investors and back in back in City Hall again because that gives us you know, it gives me some solace that this is a project worth pursuing. And like Kevin said, and I think I understand this because we're going to utilize their tax dollars to pay for the infrastructure that they need. That's really what it boils down to, Correct? Correct. And then is it is there enough capacity in terms of the water main and
everything to to branch off for other potential growth? That's gonna be part of the exploratory conversations that we'd like to continue. Okay. Because my question to that would be what's the increased cost and would it be worth us making an additional investment? I mean, if we're going through that exploratory, we know that an eight inches water main, if that's great, but what's the difference and how do we partner with that if if that's something that we need to seriously consider about when it comes to infrastructure? Because it'll be cheaper to do it once and do it right, not have to go back and figure it out.
My other component is, like, it sounds good with what we know, but there are some of the things that are unknown and that that access but when we see that that access, that's from my advantage. Like, how do we navigate that as that would be an obligation put on the businesses, not the city of Delaware. I appreciate your efforts, Don. I think this is fantastic. It definitely presents some opportunities. So from my vantage, like, we need to pursue this and the infrastructure, requirements. And what is it gonna cost us? Like, what are we gonna owe the townships once we do this?
Because we'll have to plan for that as well. Like, I don't know what that tax but I don't know what that number is, but it'd be a good number to know. And and I'm sorry. I probably should clarify that. If I'm remembering it correctly, it's like the value of what they're losing. It's not necessarily the difference in what a new city tax is. So if they collect vacant land. If they collect, you know, $2,000 a year, we're responsible for that for a 100% next couple of years. So yeah. Go ahead, Julie. I'm sorry. And the other piece that plays into that is all of a sudden fifteenth becomes
part of our annex. So what's so what's interesting is that if we were to annex this, because and I'm sorry. I probably should have a better looking map up here. At least you have north on this. I know. I do. But I am thankful because I was like, which way would that for you, mayor? I appreciate that. So right now, this is not in the city limits right here, South Of Fifteenth Avenue. We would probably keep it like that as well because we would extend our utilities from, or we'd run the line from a different direction or it'd just be a single,
like, an easement or along the right of way there. That's because you have to be contiguous, to the city. It's not like we'd be annexing the entire land. But to this point, it is, yeah, still remain remaining a township road. But that's again, we'll look at that as part of our whole investigative work. That that because that was my original thought too was now we're gonna own both sides of this roadway, but I don't know if that's necessarily the case where we have to do that through all this. Well, it you you actually see it. I can't pull up the map right now, but Right.
I was gonna say there's a great example, like, right by this that the city of Morehead has. Right. Yeah. Very similar to this. Alright. Any other questions? May I address the council? I don't. Your call? Sure. No. I think it'd be great for them. Yeah. I think I think it'd be our project a little bit. So I'm Chris Peterson. I'm the regional vice president of Resco and Morgan, our Morgan division. We have approval to start, building next spring, and that is our intent. Where we started some of these conversations is it's because of our building size, we're gonna need fire suppression,
which creates another level of challenges for us. This would definitely help us get past that. But our plan is we initially met with our our engineers and our, designers, and we're initially going from a 40,000 to 50 thousand. Now we're going to a 60,000 square foot building, with the taxation or the value of the building probably being in that 15 to 18,000,000. We have another kickoff meeting next week to kinda further these plans down. So we will be building next year, is our intent right now. So, we'd love to be able to partner with the city,
to have water and sewer. That would be a great plus for us. But our intent is to start building with a probably a '26 finish date, depending on how the cycle goes. Sounds like Donna has worked it out. I hope that just helps give you an idea of where we're at from a Resco standpoint. It really does. Thank you very much. Are there any other questions from counsel? And so Don's ask is to continue the conversation, with regards to developing a partnership so that when they're building, we're ready to be their partner in in their endeavor.
Any other questions about that? Well, do we need a formal motion to give Don permission? So I will entertain a motion to con to authorize Don to continue the conversation, moving forward. Second, so move. A motion by Steichen. Second. Second by Peterson. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. K. Good luck, Don. Have fun. Thank you. I will. It'll be good. I'm excited. Alright. So with that, it does move us to number eight. Eight alpha consideration, for the authorization to hire, the community. When I read this, chief Yep. Consideration to authorization to hire of a community service officer,
I thought we lost Javon. Oh, negative. I was like, wait a minute. No. Then I broke it down. I was like, oh, I like where we're going with this. So, that's good stuff. Chief? Yes. Mister mayor, council members, and department managers, I am here this evening to formally request the hiring of an additional community service officer, Ian Sorensen. This addition is crucial to the for the Del Norte Police Department. It will not only complement community service officer Paige's current work schedule, but will also allow us to effectively manage the increasing number of community events, address the growing need for parking enforcement, and establish a dedicated crime free housing officer position.
Mister Sorensen is a recent graduate of DGF High School, class of 2025. He intends to pursue a criminal justice degree at Minnesota State University in Morehead, and he has also completed several college level courses during his high school career. His professional experience includes working for BST LLC in snow removal, where he's described as a great employee who demonstrated strong leadership skills by managing two to three other employees. He also held a part time job at Sunset Lanes, Battle Blitz Painsball Battle Blitz Painsball, and also a part time mover for the city of Moorhead.
Mister Sorensen is an active participant in the Moorhead Police Explorers program and has completed numerous ride alongs with various agencies, including Clay County Sheriff's Office, Moorhead Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol, Wappington Police Department, and Dilworth Police Department. Investor ho investigator Hoberson's assessment highlights mister Sorensen's significant and consistent interest in the Dilworth Police Department. He has repeatedly expressed his desire to join our department upon completing his studies. Multiple individuals have described mister Sorensen as approachable and easy to work with. Furthermore, he has demonstrated excellent communication skills during the investigation during the investigation process,
consistently being responsive to investigator Hoverson's calls and texts. Investigator Hoberson has personally observed mister Sorensen's increasing maturity level over the past two years. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of offering mister Sorensen a position as community service officer with the Dilworth Police Department, and I believe he represents a strong cannon for a future Dilworth Police Department officer. Questions from Kyle? Question. None? Kyle. I got an easy one too. When can you start? Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Okay. Yesterday. Just saying, no. We're leaving. We could, but he did not.
No. We did not. This is a medium for me, chief. Yes. Sir, if there's any other where's your money coming from? No. The current budget right now. Right now, we're one third. The cost right now to fully outfit, mister Sorensen's additional $270. Perfect. Yeah. So if we're at a third, we have right now about twenty hours, a week per officer, per CSO, because of some other requirements for other jobs because it is a we'd love to have a full time part time officer, but, realistically, they need to have another full time job. So with this, it will actually increase our ability to maybe have more CSOs at an event.
If one is tied up, we'll be able to double up. K. And my other other one is, does there need to be a background check or anything like that for this position? Yes. There is. And then so hiring would be contingent on passing all the necessary requirements? Yes. Those are my only questions, chief. Any other issue, chief? So with that, please make your motion contingent on, passing all the mandatory requirements for working with law enforcement personnel. Meaning all city requirements? City, state, federal, local. All of them. Oh, everything. Can we make sure we dot sub t's and cross the i's,
please? I will entertain a motion. So moved. I have a motion by Nash. Second. And second by Borah. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you, chief. Thank you. Well done, chief. Thank you. So with that, it does move us to number nine. Council member's concerns, any updates around the line? Oh, jeez. That came quick. Congratulations to the twelve u softball team and the 10. Maybe nine u. I think ten u. On both of both of those teams made it to the national regional qualifiers this
summer. So hats off to them and their hard work. That's all I have. I just had a question for Mike. That awning didn't when is that getting replaced? Tomorrow, we're gonna get it. It's all I had. I was I knew you said it was happening. I just didn't remember when. Mister Steichen? Yeah. This last past week, I was invited to they had an ag, agriculture and technology event this last week in Fargo. About 5,000 people attended, all the latest inventions and vendors, and I was invited out to the Grand Farm at Wheatland. And they
for for those that grew up in agriculture, you know, I had an interest in this. So they had lots of, I would say, very innovative things that they were showing off. Everything from robotic sprayers to robotic weed pulling devices, robotic tilling things for smaller patches. And they also had, their because some of these farms are spread out all over the county and they have weather monitors. They don't physically have to drive out there and see some of their because the
conditions on this side of the county could be different than the other side. So that was pretty neat, and they had people from all over the country showing off their ideas. So that was pretty fun. And also I was invited to the farm in the Dell. They had a, it's an organization from the Twin Cities, called Renewing the Countryside. And it's a way, I mean, big producers have they have a pretty good support in advocating for, for lobbying. And they had, Tina Smith's local person here, and he wanted to get input from the local producers.
But the idea is, on renewing the countryside, trying to get the small growers, farmers, to get some of their food, vegetables, whatever they have into schools, restaurants, markets. It's geared to small, small growers, so it fits really well with the Farm of Adele, which is an organization that, for those that haven't heard of it, I'm going to promote it every time I can. They it's a CSA that they're they they they grow people through the use of having a farm. So it's amazing what some of the people they've turned around that have been dealt
some disabilities, since they were born. So I encourage anybody to go out there. They're always looking for volunteers and, it's a great place to, experience real growth, real excitement, and real ex and real, products you can purchase as well. So we had, as you've seen the consent agenda on four g, they're authorized to hire of firefighters. So, congratulations to chief Payne and his crew for interviews. I was we had two nights of interviews and, it's I mean,
everybody comes from different directions on this and, I think, chief Payne has got a good group of firefighters that, are gonna be joining him as soon as they get their, I guess, their cross the t's and dotting their i's down at the city here as well. So it's fun to see the excitement and motivation from, from the younger, newer firefighters. So it was great. Great two weeks. Anything else, mister Steichen? That's it. Thank you. Nash? Okay. So that Southside Social was awesome, by the way. And just a big thank you out to everyone that showed up and volunteered and
donated and everything to that. That was fun. And, I don't know if I mentioned I went to the Jeremiah program. There, basically, was kind of a information event for city officials and everything, and that was the first time I've act I mean, I knew about the program, and I have faculty members that work with them. But to go there and actually see the program and hear from the it's amazing. So if you guys have an opportunity to take part in, like, an, like, an event like that, I highly encourage you to go and see the wonderful work they are doing there. That's all I have. Thank you, Billy.
Hey. Thank you, mister mayor. There's no official count, but I would say the Southside social at Cottonwood Park is probably our best attended park event that we've ever had. Really shocked at the level of turnout we had. It was awesome. It was we're really proud of everyone who attended. Lots of prizes given away, and our park board does a tremendous job on the volunteer side and really making it a point to get people active and get them out into the parks. That's the intent of what our park board is really striving after, so really proud of them.
And then also thank you to the council for the long range planning efforts this afternoon. I think we had a productive conversation just to let you know sort of the direction we're headed as a city. Is that it? Yes, sir. He he he's look he looks like he's reading something like thank you. Thank you, Peyton. I'm gonna just say that real quick to our long range planning conversation. I mean, that was that was a fantastic couple hours that actually flew by. So thanks, to staff and management for putting that together. And also thanks, Don, for the work that you've done thus far,
and and the work that's coming up, not only on the Energy Park project, but we've got a a lot of ideas that are gonna flow in your direction. So, thank you for that continued effort. And since I spent the last couple of weeks in Europe, that's all I have. With, with that, we do have number 10. We have bills to pay. We have to pay the bills. Any questions on the bills? Let's pay the bills. I'll entertain a motion. Motion to pay the bills. I have a motion by Nash. Second. And a second by Borah. All those in favor of paying the bills, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. And with that,
it does move us to number 11. And pursuant to Minnesota state statute 13 delta zero three subdivision three Charlie, we are going into closed session to discuss labor negotiation strategies, with the operator engineer local forty nine and law enforcement labor services. So, thank you for everything, gentlemen and lady. But that means the rest of us will hang tight. Yep. Take a five minute recess. A five minute recess. It is 06:41, and we'll go into recess right now.
