I can't tell. >> That's We haven't develop they don't want to invest money until they >> for some reason not >> but that's just what we kind of
recommended somewhere in that ballpark. And then here are >> this is Melissa. >> You want to stop in and visit for Attorney we do have We should do that. >> I'm good.
>> Doesn't have a voice. evening city council meeting held June 2nd6 order. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance [clears throat] 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. be looking for a motion to approve the agenda. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion is made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries.
>> Looking for a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion is made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I. I. Oppose. Same sign. >> Motion carries. Thank you. Moving on to item number five, which is the mayor's
comments and open forum. Thank you. Excellent. Good list here. Uh looks like we have a Deb up first. Please state name and address and take a couple minutes and share your comments. >> Deborah Olsen, 600 Dewey Street. Um my comment is in regards to data centers.
There's many cities throughout the state of Minnesota and all over the United States that are looking at putting in data [snorts] centers and I know the city of Foley has land for sale in the industrial park and there's also
large amounts of farmland that's for sale. I would like to see a moratorum against development of any type of data centers. We don't have the infrastructure to support such a build.
They require large amounts of water to cool the systems. And the city is already looking at digging a new well and water treatment facility. And the second negative against the data
centers, the water used to cool the systems has chemical and additives mixed with the outgoing wastewater. And the city has just purchased and built a new wastewater disposal system.
And it's unknown what type of industrial waste would be disposed at those facilities. And it's better to be proactive with the moratorum than to deal with uh
large corporations that are trying to put in those centers after the fact. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you for your comments. Uh next up we have uh Randy from the scouts. >> Please state your name and address and
take a couple minutes and share your comments. >> And Zoe Zer is gonna speak for us. Great. Welcome, Zoe. >> We would like to thank you guys for helping us build and fix up, not build, but like fix up the Scout House. >> Short and sweet. Okay. Welcome. Uh well,
you're welcome. [laughter] Uh thanks to the public works uh folks that put in the the time and energy and uh making sure that that is fixed up. Uh so it's to your liking then? >> Now's your chance. If there's anything else that needs to change,
Oh, here it comes. >> Uh, no, we just we actually already talked a little bit, but we thought maybe security lighting on the outside would be of benefit, but uh that's really the only thing. Otherwise, we really do appreciate you uh fixing it up
because our community is growing. As you can see that we do have a female scout troop now along with with boys. So, scouting America is the official title now. So, thank you very much. >> Excellent. Excuse me. question.
>> Do you happen to have cameras at all with inside? >> No. >> Particularly, >> they're easier to keep in proper >> No, we do not have any. >> You don't have anything at all? >> Anything inside?
>> Okay. Thank you. Yeah, it's worth noting uh maybe security for all of Lions Park as we continue to see vandalism and uh mistreatment of of those utilities and and facilities. So, thank you. Great. Thanks, Mark and team
for helping with the scouts and the scout house. I know that's something that's been a product for a while. Let's see here. Moving on to Natasha. >> Oh, I'm sorry. >> Too too too late. you do have to step forward. [laughter]
Um, okay. And then I forgive me. I think it's Mr. Foss. >> Yeah, I think >> you're on the you're on the agenda. So, we'll we'll cross that bridge. Great. Um, then moving on then to item number six. If there's nobody else available or
wanting to speak for air's comments. Okay. Benton Economic Partnership. Amanda Oout. >> Good evening, Mayor and Council. Uh, Amanda Oout with Benton Economic Partnership. Um you have an agenda item in front of you this evening. Um it's
our tier 2 city's um housing aid uh program, residential rehab loan program. Um and I'll just get kind of give you a little bit of background, a little bit about the program. Um uh and just some
if you have any questions on their specific um application or I should say the um the loan program itself, please feel free to ask, okay, as we go through it, but hopefully I'll be able to answer the majority of your questions. Um so in
2025 the city of Foley um actually BEP on behalf of the city of Foley applied for and was awarded a $200,000 greater Minnesota um small cities uh tier 2 grant uh on behalf of Minnesota
Housing Finance. Uh the grant was intended to support qualifying housing projects that increase or preserve affordable housing opportunities within the community. Uh the city entered um is entering into a grant agreement with Minnesota housing um with a grant period
extending through May 20 um 2030. So the proposed program is uh utilizing grant funds to establish a residential rehab loan program. Um this is for owner occupied homes in Foley. The program will be administered in partnership with
the center for energy and environment. um that this is a nonprofit organization with extensive experience um administering and managing home improvement and rehab uh financing programs um throughout the state of Minnesota actually. Um we utilize them
uh in the city of Elk River when I was there. They're excellent. Um I can't have enough good things to say about the organization themselves. So um we're utilizing them for to administer this particular program and really um the
city will enter into an agreement with CE uh to market process underwrite and um service these rehabilitation loan pro uh loan um loans with the homeowners. So, uh, the application or I'm sorry,
the document that's in front of you, um, is a little bit more about the contract that, uh, with CE. So, it's the home improvement, uh, loan loan program. Um, let's see a little bit more about this.
This program is designed to preserve our existing housing stock. As I mentioned, priority will be given to households uh earning at or below 80% of the area median income. Uh eligible improvements include
roofing, windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, insulation, accessibility improvements, siding, driveways, and other permanent property improvements. So, the eligibility guidelines, which I'm sure you'll have questions about, um, as far as income for the area median
income, 80% for a one-person household is roughly 57,800. A twoerson household uh, 66,50. A threeperson household 74,300.
And a fourperson household um, 82,550. So just kind of giving you just some basic income guidelines that are associated with the program itself for under the tier 2 program. Um the actual grant application um
is um identifying a significant need to preserve older housing within the city of Foley. uh more more than 20% of the community's housing stock was built before 1940. And many of the homes require repair and modernization uh to
remain safe, efficient, and affordable. And that's the impetus behind applying for the tier 2 program dollars through Minnesota housing is so that the city of Foley can utilize those program dollars to help rehab existing owner occupied homes. Um
the grant funds will be be provided to E to uh finance the rehabilitation for those projects eligible um for those projects that are eligible um and those eligible homeowners. So uh the city anticipates entering into a formal
agreement with CE in 2026 which is in front of you this evening. Um with that uh loan applications will be coming available shortly thereafter. We'll market and advertise the program. Um and the goal is to fully deploy those grant
funds by 2029 or um early 2030. Um so again improving the housing stock in in our community. So that again that grant award that the city received was $200,000 from Minnesota Housing. Um
there's no local match as a requirement. um the funds will be used exclusively for those eligible housing projects and rehab projects. So really the um I'll kind of run through this
real quick. So our loan origination or home improvement program origination agreement is the contract between CE and the city of Foley. I'm facilitating the negotiation of the contract and um helping the city um finalize those
agreements with CE. Um there's compensation as as part of uh the program itself to CE to administer those loans to the homeowners. Um and that is
>> 6,000. >> Oh, yes. I'm sorry. Thank you. I was trying to find my document, but you have it. Um, so it is um the annual administration fee. There is an annual administration fee of $6,000. Each uh loan that is closed through CE, it's uh
CE receives $775 per loan closed. Um, and it's a one-time program setup fee. So, you only pay this one time. Um, and that's $1,500 to set it up and um have CE administer the program for the city. But each year that this program is in
place, um it will the annual administration fee is at $6,000. So pretty, um it's it's a great it's a great program. Um great company that is uh utilizing
um the services for administering that uh program. So, we'll go into the little bit of the nitty-gritty on the rehab loan program guidelines. Sarah, if you can just kind of scroll through that. So, um we're proposing an
interest rate on these uh loans at 3%. Um applicants can qualify for up to uh $25,000. Those um loans are going to be amortized uh over a maximum year of 10 10 years.
Um and the total project cost uh they the borrower must have um sufficient funds necessary to cover the cost of the project. Um however the receipts that they're going to be providing us will be on a reimbursement
basis. So those receipts will be delivered to CE CE will reimburse those contractors for those funds. Um eligible properties 1 to four unit owner occupied properties. Properties
must be 30 years old or older. Um they must the property must be in good standing with the city. CE will verify that the property is in good standing. Meaning that they have to make sure that their property taxes are paid. Any fees, any um outstanding balances with the
cities must be um paid and current. Uh, and then they must have um a current homeowner's insurance certificate. They must have homeowners insurance on the property. Um,
just a couple other things. Ineligible properties, we'll just kind of quickly go through this. Any any properties that have more than four units, obviously those are considered multif family properties. They're not qualified. Um, cooperatives, manufactured homes, um, any properties that are within a name of a trust or a contract for a deed do not
qualify. um income limit. We kind of went through that a little bit. Debt to income ratio. Um you know, CE will uh qualify each individual applicant. So their debt to income ratio is calculated using a
projected gross income um at 50%. So that's pretty standard on these types of programs. And then um there is a credit requirement. So, all mortgage payments must be current and reflect no 30-day late payments in the past 12-month
period. There's should be no outstanding judgments or collections, no bankruptcies. Um, or they must have been discharged for at least 18 months um prior to loan closing. um redemption period on um prior foreclosures must have occurred in the
last 18 months and generally no more than 60-day late payments on on a credit report without reasonable explanation. So, they do go through and um require a credit report for each applicant that is um utilizing these program funds. Um
funds um loans cannot exceed 25,000. And again, we kind of went through the eligible uses of funds, so we don't need to go through that. And um we need to have at least we need to see at least one bid on the project um so that we can verify that the license or the
contractor is a licensed contractor in in the state of Minnesota. Uh sweat equity is probably a question that some of you may have. Um we do allow sweat equity and it was part of our grant application when we originally wrote it. um sweat equity. I'll just kind of got
to find my um we do allow sweat equity and uh under the proposed guidelines, homeowners uh may complete eligible rehab work themselves rather than hiring a contractor. In those cases, um homeowners must provide a material list
and associated costs, but labor and equipment purchases are not eligible for reimbursement. Does that make sense? >> Yeah. um the program would only uh allow for the finance uh financing the cost of of materials. So this approach really
helps stretch the limit of the housing funds rather um or further and allows homeowners to invest in their own labor to improve their property. So it's really a straight up sweat equity model. Um this program allows it and so does
Minnesota housing. So it was part of our grant application when we submitted it. Um, >> yes, excuse me. Uh, under that though, >> the work that is done under the sweat equity still has to pass an inspection. Correct. >> Correct. Yep. All properties have to um
be inspected prior to receiving reimbursement um or payment to the contractor. So, all properties have to be inspected. >> Well, with the sweat equity part of it. >> Yes. Yep. And that would be also the same. Yep. >> So, if for instance, if something where
it didn't pass, what would happen? >> Uh, they wouldn't they wouldn't get reimbursed for those costs. >> Okay. So, everything will be up to code, per se, according to >> Yeah. I mean, um, anything that's not permitted um, essentially that qualifies
under this program can be allowed to to utilize sweat equity. Um, if you need a permit, you need a general contractor to do the work. Obviously, that's not going to be um you know, you can't use sweat equity on that. Exactly.
>> Um outside of that, um any questions that you have for me on the program itself? It's pretty straightforward. Um simple loan program, we have $200,000 roughly. Um I mean, depending on how many applications we receive, it could
be eight projects, >> could be 13 projects. I mean depending on the amount that they're requesting, >> CE will have uh control of what is granted for the for the funds. Correct. B doesn't.
>> We are not administering the program. We are um our organization is not designed to administer a a rehab loan program like that. Um we utilize an outside agency like C to to administer it. So we are not um charging the city to um write
the grant. or negotiate those agreements because it's already included in your membership. >> If I could um um we this would be real similar to when we use TriCap to administer our small cities. Um and it's better that we have
a third party do that um with the sensitive information. >> Thanks. Any other questions? Uh yeah, I mean it's it sounds great. Help the old um homes get rehabilitated,
keep them fresh and on the market when available. You know, we love grant money and thank you for explaining the AMI. I think that's important to hear. >> Um I don't think any a lot of folks understand the average medium income. We think right away of uh we think like low
income or you know challenged income households. uh you know 60 to $80,000 is a lot of money and that's the threshold. So that's that kind of lets you know what's going on. >> So and then for applications though they
will work with CE or will they apply at the city? >> Um they'll work directly with CE will administer everything. They'll provide monthly reports um to the city. Uh so it'll be um you know if you're if you are requesting something specific I can
ask them. >> Yeah. Typically we just like we'll refer them and give them contact information what they need to do. >> That's great. Thank you. >> Yeah. So, um, the recommendation to the council this evening is to approve the residential rehab loan program documents
and authorize staff to finalize the agreement with the Center for Energy and Environment to administer the program on behalf of the city. >> Perfect. We're looking for a motion. I'll make a motion to approve CE agreements for tier 2 housing program as
stated. >> I'll second that. >> Motion is made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I. I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Thank you, Amanda. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Benton County, consider and approve
minor subdivision request. >> There's no public hearing requirement on this. That's just a simple motion unless >> this is just what was in the packet, right? As far as the correct >> uh I'll make a motion to adopt resolution 2026-18 approving the Benton County minor
subdivision. >> I'll second it. >> Motion's been made and seconded. Any further discussion by council hearing? None. Uh all in favor I I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Thank you. Moving on to item number eight,
which is a public hearing. Uh so we re we will recess uh the regular city council meeting at 5:51 p.m. to conduct the public hearing on the variance request of Dwayne Foss. This variance would allow the owner to repurpose an existing structure to be used as an
accessory building that will be located in front of a newly constructed house or principal structure. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for or against this matter? My name is Dwayne Foss at 311 Norman.
And that is our intent to uh keep the barn-shaped uh house and turn it into accessory building, but I can't really build a new house in front of the barn because we're too close and I can't go alongside. So, that's the purpose of
that. And uh it's uh it's a decent enough shape building. And after we get all the all the uh additions tearing off, it's only a 26 by 26 garage purpose into for restoring a couple old cars we're going to put in there and
then probably a man. >> All right. Well, thank you. Um is there anybody else who wishes to speak for or against this matter? Anyone else present who wishes to speak for or against this matter? Hearing
none, we will reconvene the regular city council meeting at 5:52 p.m. Is there any discussion by council on what was proposed by Dwayne Foss? I mean, personally, I thought the the design and and what he was trying to do
seems adequate, good. It's improving property and good looking design as far as what what it will look like, at least allegedly, uh, when it's completed. planning commission didn't have any concerns. >> Perfect. >> We're looking forward to seeing the final product.
>> Okay. So, with that said, we'll be uh looking to for a motion. >> I'll make the motion uh for uh resolution 2026-17 approving the variance. >> Second. >> Motion's been made and seconded. Any
further discussion? In favor? I I post same sign. Motion carries. Thank you, Mr. Foss. Moving on to item number nine, public hearing. We will recess the regular city council meeting at 5:53 p.m. to conduct the
public hearing liquor license renewals that are listed on the agenda. Staff has verified all the license requirements and recommends approval. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for or against this matter?
Anyone present who wishes to speak for or against this matter? Anyone present who wishes to speak for or against this matter? >> I'll just make one comment. Licker license renewals were went great this year. No issues. Um probably one of our smoothest renewals in years. So I'll
just make that comment. >> Perfect. Keep it simple. Uh we will reconvene uh the regular city council meeting at 5:54 p.m. And I would entertain a motion to approve the liquor license renewals as presented on the council agenda. >> Approve. >> Second.
uh motion and seconded. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? I >> I post same sign. Motion carries. Thank you. Moving on to item number 10, South Fairway Estates. >> Is that a public hearing? >> No, I I switched the agenda so there
might be a couple people because I had to move things around. >> Okay. >> Um no, we should be on South Fairway Estates. >> Perfect. >> Um so what you have there is an updated resolution. Yep. And then an additional development agreement because of concerns that um we had regarding
passing that lot that subsidized lot price on. So that development agreement is there in your packet to uh provide some method of us to ensure that the final buyer of the home after the home is built receives that discounted lot
price. Um, the only question I have for the council tonight is where uh they want to um I guess put it what they want to put in the final uh language on modular and manufactured homes. >> I would recommend you keep no manufactured homes period that that
there's a different zoning classification, but um you need to make a decision on modular homes. >> So that's in there right now prohibiting them. It can be struck if that's what they do. >> Sure. So added to the resolution uh is uh prohibiting manufactured and modular
homes. >> Yeah. And it's in the covenants. >> It's in the covenants and I know that revision with it highlighted so you could see that. >> Yeah. That's where we left off. You know, really I will say from two meetings ago uh was um uh whether or not we wanted
modular homes. Uh you know, for me manufactured homes is a hard no. Um that would be also known as mobile homes or homes with HUD plates built on trailers brought in. Um that is not the development we're building. Uh we are building uh to me we're building a
traditional good oldfashioned development. Uh stick build homes. Modular homes uh I would say fit the bill. Uh I I'm I'd take it or leave it. Um that's my opinion on on that. Uh that
does not include though the I think you mentioned of like panel homes. >> Yes. >> That would just be a component that they would bring. >> That's just Yeah, that's just a a material almost that they're using to construct the home. >> And she said she does see that sometimes. >> Yeah. You know, when you talk about modular homes, you know, the other
aspect of it is we are selling these lot to builders. Um, you know, I understand that somebody could hire a builder to to put in a modular home, but when we're when we think about the builders, you know, whatever the 567 that we have now, uh,
lined up that are looking to buy these lots, they're not looking to put up modular homes. They're looking to build homes. That's that's what these builders do. Um, and so it, you know, from a convenience standpoint, it makes sense
that we're just trying to keep it very simple, clearcut. We want stick stick build homes. Um, whether it's split level, patio, you know, whatever it might be. Um, and and move forward. But modular homes for some reason is still a
sticky point. I'm I'm impartial. I think it's unnecessary because these builders aren't looking to build modular homes because they don't they don't build modular homes. They build homes on site. So, it seems like a moot point. But
comments, suggestions, do we want modular homes um as part of the covenants as as uh written in or do we want that struck out and allow for modular homes? That's the decision we have to make. Beyond that, I
have no quarrels or or comments on the self fairway estates um contracts and or otherwise. >> I think I'll just Sorry, we're going to do a filter. So it's just my
expectation is the same for everybody who buys a lot. I would have to agree on the no modulars, but I will say that after doing about 10 hours of research on plank homes, they are a different
entity completely and actually are easier heated, better heated because walls are shifted. You don't have a plug in going directly to the outside or the insulation.
>> We've got an outside wall. We've got an inside wall. And you don't have a draft. >> It is a more expensive home, but I um I don't know how many of them come to Minnesota.
>> Sure. And and those aren't that's not a part of the covenants. I mean, if someone wants to build a plank home, right, they can because that's just the type of that's just the type of material they're using. >> It's how it's constructed. >> It's how it's constructed. >> It would just be subject to the building code, >> right? Yeah.
>> Not necessarily a mod, you know, it's not >> it's not >> the home is not built somewhere else and brought it. No, >> it's built on site. >> But there are people who makes mix it up with a modular, >> right? >> Not modular. >> They come in on a semiflat and they
stand up. >> Yep. So I uh um entirely against any prefab or modular homes being built out there strictly a stick type contracted building. >> Okay. But >> I don't want a structurally engineered
panel home is okay if I I I'm not really sure what we're talking about panel holes. I I don't >> basically the house is already >> they're they're brought in in sections and put together. >> They standed up.
>> The walls are brought in >> and and ceiling or and the roof, >> but they're a flat entity. They are installed by builders. They We've got one factory here in Minnesota.
If you go and you look what you're getting, there's an awful lot of people that choose to do it for a home. >> The benefits to structurally engineered panel hole outweigh a stick home, but I
don't think that we should um limit a structurally engineered panel home in our in our uh states out there. It's It's a benefit to the people that want to do it, but still it's built by a
builder. A modular home and a manufactured home. I'm against, >> right? Yeah. They're built they're built somewhere else. Yeah. >> Okay. So, we're in consensus then we are okay with the covenants around manufactured and modular homes. Yes.
>> All right. Uh let's see here. So, then >> we need a motion >> a motion to approve resolution 2026-9. And then we also need a motion to uh adopt the development agreement and purchase documents that we packet just so that >> so it looks like there's three there's three motions here. Correct.
>> You can put it all together if you want. Um I just want you I just want to be clear there's multiple pieces and I want to make sure you and I know exactly what we're they know exactly what we're executing with these. >> Yeah, there's the covenants there's the covenants that are laid out for um the builder that purchased these homes. uh
you know timelines as far as when they purchase the lots. You know, I think we have in there 40 to 50,000 is the lot, but 50 is probably more realistic. Um uh covenants around, uh the type of homes that can be built. >> Yeah. It's laid out in the resolution
pretty clearly. >> Yeah. >> Um and and like I said, anything outside of those terms, we have to come back. >> Yep. We can't sell the last lot and they want to give they want to buy it for 35,000, we got to come back here. >> Yep. And I think it's important too to note that uh you know we made language
around um the right the savings if you will on the lot you know gets passed on to the the buyer you know um so the the intent in a
perfect world right would be that builder builds the same home somewhere else and he has to pay $80,000 for the lot and he sells it at 400, he'd build the exact same home here, paying $50,000 for a lot, and the house would be for 370 instead of 400, right? That's that's
the expectation. >> Yeah, there still would there still would be, you know, the builder is out to build and make money building. So, you know, there's still that aspect, but we require them to provide proof of that that lot sale savings. >> Yep.
Okay. Uh, that being said, uh, I'll I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2026-9 approving the sale of residential lots of Southway South Fairway estates along with the development agreement on subsidized lot pricing
and approving the other purchase documents, covenants, etc. As we just spoke to, >> I'll second that. >> Motion made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor, I I oppose. same sign. Motion carries.
Moving on to item number 11, wastewater regionalization project update. Jared Bogey. It's been a while, Jared. How are you? >> Good evening, Mayor Council. Um, yeah, it has been a while. I don't have a pay estimate for you this evening, but rather I'm just here to provide an update on the status of the two projects
related to wastewater. The first being the regionalization project and then the um decommissioning project. As it relates to the uh wastewater project, uh progress is being made on the punch list. A few items remain. Probably the
largest one is the um abandonment of the outfall at the golf pond there. Um they've initiated that work. Based on my conversations with them this afternoon, they're anticipating either next week or the following to complete the ceiling of
that pipe. Um there are some other punch list items left as it relates to programming uh that will be taken care of and then aside from that it's really obtaining the operator and maintenance manuals owner operations and maintenance
manuals um and as builts from the contractor and the subcontractor. So, uh, in terms of the regionalization project, I anticipate all that work. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be completed in June, August, which would put us at a project
close out, final payment, um, August, September. So, my best estimate by the time all the paperwork's processed and all the the loan documents are obtained and submitted and justification for all the work that was
out there. So, Um, with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have regarding the regionalization project. >> Everything is good on St. Cloud's end what we're doing. >> Yeah, there there's like one or two punch list items that they had on that end, but aside from that, everything is
good. >> Yeah. >> Okay. As it relates to the uh decommissioning project, all the appropriate documents for the funding applications have been submitted. PPL request, IEP request. Um that would be
for potential PFA. Um financing typically find out on that list in the fall. However, um we are continuing to move those plans and specs forward in the event the city wants to forgo the PFA funding and utilize a different
source. So um the documents that were submitted uh for the PFA funding portion of it had us completing design in 2026 um with some review and approvals by MPCA next spring into um late spring
with bidding in June July and construction following that. Um so that's kind of the the schedule on the decommissioning project but that continues to move forward as well and funding application. said the fall, this fall, we might know
something or >> uh that's typically when the um PFA releases their list of projects that have been scored high enough for the funding thresholds. >> How are we scoring on that? Where are we on the list?
>> Won't know if they'll fall. >> Okay. >> Y >> if I could just um one of the things too um Jared had mentioned is we may um and you'll the report update on like cash balances and where we're sitting in the sewer fund. We may be able to utilize
some of our existing funds to finish the project out. We can tap into what we have left on loan, but if we want more, we have to go through that process. So, we've just set ourselves up so we have all our options. Um, but it may be something that um we move forward and just pay a portion out of the sewer fund
to cover the remaining. Um, we'll see how those final numbers come out. >> Well, by right, we're not being pushed right now by see decommission it completely, right? I mean, there's >> Well, there's a plan in place. >> Yeah, >> there's a timeline, but
>> um I don't think I guess, and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't foresee us qualifying for a million dollar grant or anything like that. I think it's just more loan funding to get that would be where we're at. >> That's what I anticipate. >> Okay.
Any other questions for Mr. Boi? >> All right. Thanks, Council. >> Hey, thank you. >> Moving on to item number 12, 2025 audit presentation report. Ashley Nagger. >> Did I say that right? >> Maher. >> Maher.
>> It's okay. Nobody gets it right first. >> From Schlener and Wer. Uh, perfect. >> Um, so there are three documents in front of you. Um, and I'm going to be going through the presentation copy. It summarizes the other two documents. Um, and it's also up on the screen. Um, so I
um, it goes through the most important things um, basically the financial results for the city for 2025. Um, our audit results uh, as well as just a few things we're required to tell you all based on our our audit standards. So I will start off with the page that says
uh audit process and opinions. So most of you have probably heard this before, but this uh basically depicts what we do with an audit. So we get the city's records. We do a multitude of inquiries, testing, and procedures. And really through all of those procedures, we're
issuing to we're looking to issue an opinion. So for the city for 2025, we're issuing an unmodified or clean opinion. That is the best you can do. Um it means no significant issues or errors or misstatements arose during our procedures. So really good news there.
Uh next page here just notes just a few things we're required to tell you all. Overall the audit went smoothly. We have a positive working relationship with management. Uh the team here got us everything we need we needed. We weren't missing any documentation for anything
we had requested. also no unusual uh transactions or accounting policies or treatments. Um so just really um appreciative to the team here uh for giving us what we needed to do the audit and also for everything coming out clean
and clear as far as that goes. Uh that last box there just significant estimates. So that is something that's not new or any different than in the past, but there are just actuarial estimates that go into calculating the per net pension liability and then the
fire relief net pension asset. Um, and that's no different than any other governmental entity. Controls and compliance. Here we just um this is also going to look pretty similar to in the past. So just control items. So audit adjustments. We do a few
audit adjustments on behalf of the city. Most of those aren't material. So nothing to to be concerned about there. Internal controls, we do not know a lack of proper segregation of duties. Um very common for a city of this size and actually cities much larger. I will say for the city of Pulley, you're on the um
lower end. There's different um tiers as far as an internal control finding goes. You are on the lower end because you have have a number of staff here that you're able to segregate most of your accounting duties appropriately. Um and then that second bullet point there, we're just required to tell you all that
we drafted the financial statements on behalf of the city. So the bigger book in front of you, we drafted that close to 100 pages nowadays um on behalf of the city and then the city does review that once we are through it. Um middle legal compliance, that last one there,
uh we look at as part of our audit basically statutes or laws that the city needs to follow and uh we did not have any findings. So all good news there as well. Taking a look at the financial results, we'll start off with the general fund. So, the general fund had a decrease in
fund balance of about 193,000 and ending of about 2.87 million. Revenues decrease just slightly compared to 2024. And then expenditures increased. We'll go over those numbers bit more detail the next few pages here. But one thing I just wanted to mention
too is that other uses line item is primarily transfers out to the capital project funds. um we don't I don't mention that in the next few pages. So I wanted to mention that that now uh we will take a look in detail um at the revenues now. So revenues as I mentioned
decreased compared to 2024 about 69,000. So not a ton of fluctuation there. Um I'll just speak to a couple categories here that that fluctuated a bit. Uh property taxes decreased about 231,000. However, very comparable to budget. um
property however property taxes as a whole for the city um did increase a bit um it's just the allocation between different area uh levy areas um and then the other one I wanted to mention as well here license and licenses and permits you'll see that saw a huge jump
of about 191,000 couple or a few larger permits that came in during uh 2025 and obviously that is a bit hard to budget for because you don't know um what is going to be built within the next year. Um so that increase um obviously quite a bit more than budget
but of course um hard to budget for that. Other than that you'll see most of the other categories here not a ton of fluctuation from year to year or um just comparable to budget. All right. And on the flip side expenditures from 2024 those increased
to about 196,000. Um, so I will speak to just one of these categories that is public safety. That increased from 186,000. That is almost entirely that increase is building inspection fees. So as you see your building permit uh fees increase on
the revenue side, you'll see building inspection fees go up as well. Um, most of the time when you think general fund public safety, you think police, but that increase is entirely attributable to those building inspection fees, um, which we call other public safety. um on
the financial statements. Other than that, most of these other categories here, not not a ton of fluctuation, fund balance. So each year as part of our analysis, we take a look at your unassigned fund balance. So that's your spendable portion of your general fund
balance. And we look at that as a percentage of the budget. So for 2025, that percentage sat at about 130.2%. 2% um and that percent decreased just a bit um primarily mostly primarily
due to budget expenditures increasing. So your unassigned fund balance actually increased from 24 to 25 by about 59,000. This um trend looks bad if you were to look at you know just this graph solely
alone. But I will say that the city's target is for this percentage to sit between or at least 50 to 65%. Truly, the city's unassigned fund balance is real really healthy. Um, and we actually had had planned I think the city had
planned to spend down some of those dollars. I think Clar you can speak to that as well that that's that's accurate. Um, >> that's just some of the projects and things that we've been doing um, which we can afford to do because we did have some cash available. >> Exactly. Um, and that percentage is is
like I said very healthy. So no concern there despite the downward trend that we're seeing in the graph. Cash for the general fund that decreased just sight slightly and that's about 2.93 million at 123125 uh remaining uh funds for the city. So
I'll just speak to the other two major funds for the city. So the fire service fund that had an increase in fund balance about 36,000 and ending about 1971,000 revenues and expenditures uh pretty comparable to 2024 overall increases
there. Um but nothing nothing too crazy there. North Side Improvements Fund that of course was a new capital project fund this year. Um that had an increase in fund balance of about 1.03 million. um not shown here is about 4.9 million in
bond proceeds. So um that's kind of the missing puzzle as far as if you try to do the math there, that's the piece that's missing there. Um and there's a comment on the bottom there too that notes that. Um so that um at 123125 had just over a million um remaining for
that project. and then cash for the um city's non- major funds as well as the fire service and north side improvements. Um very small fluctuations you'll see here. Um overall cash at about 4.37 million for
all of those funds combined. Um kind of hard to see the north side improvements is just like kind of a yellow dot there because obviously that fund was new in 2025 and we don't have any historical information due to that being new. And just a couple more funds here. So
the water fund overall um had an increase in net position about 675,000 and ending of about 5.32 million. Um overall um pretty healthy increase there. One thing I wanted to speak to is just non-operating revenues. Um so
that's sitting at about 545,000. Obviously a bit um larger than normal. um PFA grants um were in there um and then uh POS settlement that came through um in 2025 at the very end of 25
actually. Um so that's the reason for that large nonoperating balance there. Um like I said ending uh net position there 5.32 million. >> If I could um that PAS settlement we're we're setting that aside aside for uh water treatment um because that's kind
of the intent of those funds. Um, we anticipated we'd have that cash come in. >> And then the city's other proprietary fund, the sewer fund, had an increase in net position about 493,000
and ending of about 22 just under 22.4 million. Um, so a couple things uh to speak to here. The operating expenses increased uh quite a bit. Uh St. Cloud um fees to St. cloud uh started kicking in, although it wasn't a full year. Um
that's important to note because you'll see a big increase there. Um and then the other thing that I wanted to mention as well, um the non-operating revenues obviously decreased a bit. Um PSIG uh grants for the wastewater project were
coming through in prior years. Um so I think that non-operating revenues um line item there may be more normalized a bit of investment income in there and a little bit of nonoperating revenues. Um and then um let's see
I think those are the main things that I wanted to note there um just as far as fluctuations for that fund goes. And then those uh two funds that I just discussed um overall cash just slight changes there and overall cash for those two funds combined about 6.6 6 million
at 123125. And then um just a couple more pages here. So governmentwide assets as a whole. Um overall um this is for the entire city. Um so you'll see here uh there was an increase um in current
assets. That's primarily due to an increase in cash. About a one about $1 million of that was bond proceeds. Um then the capital assets there of course increasing as you are capitalizing capital projects and any capital purchases. Um overall increase in assets
as a whole about 6.6 million. And then on the flip side liabilities um overall those increased about 3.78 million. Um you'll see a couple fluctuations here. Uh current liabilities decreased. That's just due to construction payables. um in prior
years. Uh just timing on that. And then um the debt of course increased uh PFA um dollars continue to draw on those dollars. Um and then the general obligation bonds um that went into that north side improvements fund.
Just a um and just a couple pages here. These next couple just show the city's debt in more detail. So the governmental debt as a whole. Um this just shows um projected payments over the next um x amount of years, so 20 years. Um and
then I did just want to and then it also we also list all the debt issuances for the governmental activities there as well. Um a couple of these will drop off in the next uh 5 years or so. So the 2020A improvement refunding bonds uh
mature in 2028. Um the 2015A bonds mature in 2031. And then um and then I think the next one after that 2018A matures in 2034. Um and then that industrial parkland financing agreement
um does uh mature in August of 2026. And then uh business type activities. So this is the water and sewer fund um debt uh the PFA loans. So those um set at about 10.9 million at 123125. Um this is projected payments of course
because the city's still drawing on those PFA loans. Um so I did we just project them out to um where you're at as the balance right now. So projected um out to 2050 at this point. Um so the sewer revenue note and then there's a
water revenue note um which is expected to be forgivable in 2028. And that's just a tiny bit of a of the piece to the puzzle there. Any questions at all on anything um that I went over the audit results, financials.
I think overall really good. Um very clean audit. Um everything went went really smoothly. Well, for the ones that I've been involved in, this works really good. >> Yeah, it does. Um, and I'm here a little bit earlier this year, [laughter] which is nice, too. Uh, we did get things
things done a little bit earlier, which is always nice as well. >> Great. Shout out to the staff um and and doing what they do as far as managing all of the funds and the um the part that they handle in order
for this to go as smoothly as it does for you guys. >> Yes. >> And and to make a clean audit. Any questions then for Ashley? >> I think we can still stay in business. >> Yeah, >> that's right. It's a business. Um,
>> yes. >> Thank you. Uh, thank you very much. And then so with that, then we would uh entertain uh a motion then from council to accepting the audit report. >> I move that we accept the audit report for 2025.
I'll second. >> Perfect. Motion's been made and seconded. Uh any further discussion? In favor? I I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Uh thank you. We're going to move on to item number 13, which is deviates a little bit from the uh well,
not deviates, but it's on. >> Thank you. >> As far as the agenda goes, it's it's the new life church driveway as item number 13. I know there's a revision here. I think Sarah moved that up from her
administration. Uh so to decide on a time period uh as it was in your um council packets uh for um this uh call a driveway I guess. Um,
I know there's a recommendation uh from Mark and and Sarah. They thought that a 15-year um time period would would be reasonable and justified. Mark, do you want to speak to high level, you know, what New
Life Church is looking to do and why 15 years makes sense? Well, when this was installed, when they built, uh, it was a temporary driveway with the understanding when 10th Street goes in, whatever it had to get moved over there. There's been discussions
over the years, um, whether it has to be removed or not. It's a county state a grow county road. So, they actually write the permit. Um, I think where this got brought up is New Life is looking to do some renovations to that parking lot. they don't want to do something and then
in two years something happens and that street gets put in they would be forced at that time. So I guess if I can ask you that is the reason I think it got brought. We met with Scott Johnson. >> Yeah. >> A couple months back and I think that's what they're asking now is an assurance.
It will not be required to and the county signed off on this. Uh the engineer at time while he was here he signed off for an undetermined time I believe it is that's in fact you know so
>> right >> so it was just a 15 you know I are they going to be back in 15 I don't know but we say no 15 years is a good number for now and that's because the original intent
is when let's say town's edge develops right when not if there would be a street access then to access that development. And so the question is can we keep the current
access point that we have for 15 years before we would have to adjust or um comply with what would make sense for a future development. >> Does that sound fair, Mark? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Was there an original time frame
when New Life was built as far as that driveway? >> I am not aware of one. >> Okay. >> Same thing when the road is built and being there was some talks in recent earlier this year, last fall, whatever. I think maybe that parking lot is what
brought this up now. So would the intent be then you know let's say I don't know four years from now south or town's edge starts developing and there's a development and we have tent street put in is that directly across from camp meadows >> no it's on this side of the before field
house >> before fieldhouse okay um >> yeah thank you council for taking some time in this busy agenda for us to come and share. Yeah. So, our current parking lot has a
driveway entrance on the county road. Our property to the north of our parking lot. That's the city has uh what's the word? >> Rightway. >> They have a rightway for a road there. And so they would like us to relocate
the entrance to our parking lot to that road, which is, you know, there's not a timeline on any of that right now. So, we're looking to lift our parking lot because we only did a I think a one and a half inch when we originally put our
building on. So, we're looking to do our whole parking lot and the driveway. And so what we don't want is to have to re, you know, take out all the work that we just, you know, put into it and the money that we put into the entrance to our parking lot. We don't want to have
to rip that up if some development happens. We don't have any plans right now. We don't know anybody. We we were in talks with something that didn't, you know, follow through with anything, but right now there's no plans to have the
city build the road that we, you know, and so they want us to relocate that driveway. That's what the agreement says. And what the agreement says is that we would relocate the entrance to our parking lot once that road has been
developed. So that's pretty much what the agreement says. And so, >> okay, which right, it's it could it could be a long time from now. Uh I mean Mark if you made the
recommendation I mean I don't see a problem. So worst case scenario we would have two entrances one for new life one for the development >> and you know the footage we looked at this it almost meets the footage requirement. >> Okay. >> So
>> and county's okay with it. The county says, "Yeah, if it just got put in >> if both were to be put in, let's say this happens two years from now, both ent uh the driveway and the roadway would be okay." >> Okay.
>> Can I ask a question? Uh why would we want it removed either way? because, you know, obviously we're proposing 15 years, but I'm just curious as to why we'd want it removed in the
future if a said road is city road is put in. >> And I I want to say it has to do with possibly the county and how close >> how both are to each other >> from a speed and distance standpoint. But the county doesn't care with our
with the current setup right now from my understanding. >> Right. They've signed off. It was in the original agreement. Why it's still hanging there? I mean, >> yeah. >> Um, >> so I mean, could we put it, you know, you know, we could
>> So, is this is it recommendation for it to be redone in 15 years or talk about it in 15 years? >> I'm assuming it's to talk about it in 15 years. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. With the assumption that it really may not be that big of a deal >> because I think the county could ride
everyone and >> Sure. >> Maybe by that kind >> because it's their road >> that speed limit may be down there a little bit on that road by then. >> Right. And then and that mean I may that might be the difference maker is just that that speed to that approach um and how close the the turns are.
>> Um >> and I'm not trying to cause any I'm just saying it's for us as a church, you know, to put the If we have to pay to remove our parking lot or our entrance to our driveway to a new location, I
mean, we're talking north of $100,000, you know, and so for us to do that in our opinion with not much gain. And so that's why I'm I'm I don't want to make a complication for anybody, but I'm also trying to like what works for
everybody is another that's why I'm posing some of that question. But right, >> obviously I comply to what the council decides obviously, but I just want to also ask that question because it does, you know,
that's going to weigh heavy on us in the future as well. So, >> I've got one comment. I walk four times a day from down the street past New Life. I walk on Saturdays, Sundays,
evenings, church things going on, school things going on. I can tell you egress out of new life is slow. Right now, it's not a big deal. Potential,
it is a big deal. I'm not saying make you guys do it right now. >> Yeah. >> I'm saying plan for it though because you're still in a growth phase. Yeah, I would I would like to think so. >> I mean, I can see the difference. I can
see the change and right now everybody has to come out one way. >> Yeah, I I will I definitely I think that's a good point and I do think safety is probably one of the concerns that that would be my understanding
>> uh based on conversation that it would be safer to have the entrance moved to the city road. there's just, you know, there's nothing currently happening right now. Our our main concern is that we wouldn't invest, you know, this much
money into our parking lot >> for that to event potentially be risked if a road is put in. >> You know, it's a it's a if, right? >> You know, or when. >> But that would be that that's the one thing I do agree with. There's potentially a lot of traffic coming off
of that county road. But I also would recognize that our church is busy on Sundays primarily and Wednesday evenings is probably another busy one, but there's no parking that's allowed on the my directions west side of the that
that's county road there. And so I think they initially had parking and then they ended up putting no parking signs just due to the fact because of baseball it does get really busy on that road. And so I without parking on the west side of that
that uh uh county road that helps a lot with being able to see oncoming traffic at least from our churches, you know, uh coming in and out. So, yeah, that'd be my thoughts. >> You know, she Yeah,
>> just one thing to keep in mind, you are getting a new county engineer in the next 20 days or whatever. >> I think they just hired >> they might come in with >> totally I mean, I know it's been talked to the county talked to the previous but so I think you know doing a thing like this now is a good idea they might he
might come in who's been hired and either be really lenient or non lenient and I think we have to respect that good working relationship with the county >> well again they're the ones who don't have a concern
>> even even if we were to put in >> might all of a sudden then they have their 15 years and by then they can hope Yeah, >> where they're at now, they're fine with it, >> right? I mean, hopefully right in time, if we put a development there, they
would slow that speed limit down a little bit. That would cause everything else to be a moot point. I have I don't know. I have no problem with it being the recommendation of Mark and Sarah for crossing this bridge in 15 years.
So that's the concern is you putting the you making the investment into the property and making sure >> you don't have to tear it out in two years to redo it. >> But in 15 years we'll probably be having this conversation again obviously. But the main concern is you know that that piece.
>> Sure. There's Yeah, there's worse things I guess. Anything else? Do we need we need a motion for that? >> No. My understanding is she's going to bring some >> She'll bring some actual langage >> something back I believe or something. >> Yep. So bring some actual formal
language back. That would probably more so be the motion then to allow for that. So >> excuse me for the record. Could you state your name and >> Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Nick. I'm the lead pastor of New Life Church. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Thanks, Nick.
Then we'll head into uh department reports. Uh no Adam today. Uh we'll move into police department chief Katie McMillan. Okay, Mr. Mayor, members of the council, first we'll start off with our stat
report for the month of May. We had 481 calls of service. Compared to 2025, we had 473. In 2024, we had 412. So, you can see that it's increased. It keeps increasing. Um, some things to point
out, the children were getting rambunctious in May. it. They were very Cody was very busy in the school. Um, and then I have been very busy with city ordinance complaints. I've sent out 71 letters for tall grass
or miscellaneous items, expired vehicles. It's and then I get complaint people call me and swear at me for sending them a letter. Well, we need what I've we have fully fun days coming up. We need to have the town looking nice. Um, so and hope I did commend one to Mark to
get mowed that was not passed but most people do comply. So I do appreciate that. Um but it is a big team effort to have our town looking nice and it's been a struggle this year and I do not know why. So
>> some of this uh some of these been repeat offenses offenders. >> Yeah. Yep. There's some like every year. Um or there's one that they don't mow their lawn unless I send them a letter.
And um some of the other things to point out. This past weekend, we had two dog bike calls. It's a reminder to people. You have to keep your dog on the leash if your dog leaves your yard. It can be on off leash off leash if it's on your
yard. That's fine. But once it you are responsible for if it leaves your yard. Um and they have to be registered with the city also. So make sure dogs get registered with the city. >> Katie, what are we doing with the dogs that are running loose because I know
they're running loose. I deal with them a lot. >> Yep. Every situation is different. Um if they're habitual offenders of running loose, they the owners get citations for it. Um, for the dog biting for the first offense, they by statute get labeled as
potentially dangerous dog. Um, and unless they do sub substantial bodily harm, then they could be labeled dangerous. Um, but the ones that we had this weekend were potentially dangerous dog labels. So, are we still able to
take a dog that we have no clue or even a cat? Are we taking them to Tri County still or do we just send a letter or what's going on right now with the strays?
>> Yep. If dogs are found running at large um and somebody calls us for it, we tell the person that you can take a dog the dog to Tri County Humane Society, show them your Foley, that you're from Foley and then they will take care of the building from there. Um we do not personally take them there. We have
never have done that because then you're taking the fully police out of the city when we're supposed to be patrolling the city. Um, so I mean there's been I mean for emergency situations like I had to last week take a dog to humane society but that was there was different
circumstances around that one. Um, but usually for somebody finds a dog on the street we tell them they would they have to take it to the humane society. All right. Um, I mentioned about nuisances already and the only other
thing I have is >> the fun stuff. >> Yes, the bike rodeo that is coming up on June 13th. I It is looking like I will have 60 to Well, I'm going to save some bikes for
next year, too. the ones we had. It has been a very generous year. Um, but we are looking to have 62 bicycles to give away at the bike rodeo. So, it's going to be a great year. We have 89 pre-registered.
And yeah, and if it does rain, I did work it out with the school that we could use the fieldhouse, but it's not going to rain. >> Yeah. So, >> um, and just an update with the squat cars. They all been working great now. Um except for we are finding a lot of
screws and nails on our roadways. We've had to have three tires repair because we got screws or nails in them. So >> that's a little bit. >> So springtime. >> Are they um
all over or are they centrally located? >> We're not sure. >> Okay. Um there has been a few um like one of them was a siding nail. So I'm thinking it's around here there was a house resided. Um there's been some
houses over on the north side done. So it's hard to say where and that is all I have unless you have something for me. >> Great. Thank you. Looking forward to uh your event. All right, Jerry Griffith, you have two
minutes. >> Two minutes. Okay. I have a handful of action items tonight for your consideration. Good evening, council. Um, first being the uh change number two for the 2025 lead service project. Um, we talked about this over the over the
winter months here that we had funding available from last year service project. Um kind of we working with PFA and Department of Health and make sure that everything's okay to move forward. Um this kind of just finalizes that process and then saying yes, we're going to add these six services into that
project from last year. Um and then start working with that contract to get that coordination and schedule those replacements. I imagine those will be happening sometime in June, July kind of time frame. Um, but once we get this approved, I will coordinate with with
the contractor to confirm that schedule and and just like last year and this year's reservoir projects, the contractor is responsible for coordinating that schedule with the homeowners themselves. >> And so is approving the change order approving the construction services or those two separate action items?
>> Two separate action items. First one would be change order number two uh for a change order amount of $65,1788. Um so that's looking for your >> that's covered under that >> and yes this all and both these items
for five are covered by the grant funds. >> Sure. All right. I'd make a motion to approve change order number two 2025 lead service lines. I'll second. >> Motion made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I. I. Oppos. Same
sign. Motion carries. >> Appreciate it. Uh and then the second item related to 25 blood service is then SH's construction services agreement for those six services. These this is the same as we approved last year, same as we just approved last month for this year's project. Um estimated the same
way as far as roughly two a day. Um >> so just based off the six services, >> correct? >> Sure. >> Yep. I make a motion to approve construction services for 2025 lead service lines. >> Second. >> Motion is made in second. Any further discussion? In favor? I
>> I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. >> Uh same setup here for the 2026 lead service project. Um this project came in under the engineering estimate and what we were projected to get more funding. So with that, we've worked with the PFA again and department of health to add
additional services to our project. Um this one we're adding four services uh to our 26 project um >> because we have extra funding. >> Yeah. >> Yep. Um both of these items again, you know, our change order and then the SH agreement, both those are covered by the
um are eligible for the PFA dogs that we are anticipate getting here. So this change order amount is for $37,66 even. >> Perfect. I'll make a motion to approve change order number one, the 2026 lead
service lines. >> Make a motion. >> Second. >> Motion's been made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I. I. Oppos. Same sign. Motion carries. >> Thank you. Um again, the construction
service agreement estimated the same two per day for the 26 additional service four additional services in the 226 project. looking for a motion to approve this as well. >> I'll make the motion to approve construction services for 2026 lead
service lines. I'll second uh motion made and seconded. Any further discussion? In favor? I I oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. >> Thank you. Uh now I have two items for uh our 2025 north side improvement
project. Um first being pay application number nine. This essentially handles um kind of the punches items that came over from last year kind of you know adjusting valves turf things like that. And then um we also had the couple areas
where we had concrete as far as apron at highway there on the alley. Apron on the north end of the alley at Pen Street. Um and then the pen street pedestrian cost the big ticket item this pay is requesting $27,265.90.
Uh this pay represents roughly 95.86% of the project that open answer or take on any questions you may have about our north side project. Um quick update on where we're at. Um, we have paving lined up
for tomorrow. That's on third and Murphy between the highway and fourth Broadway and then 13th on the east side of town 4th Avenue. Um, we're going be discussing next since we're adding the
longer a large stretch of paving on Fourth Avenue all the way 75th Street. Um, the situation that is that we, you know, want to keep things all move in one day, get accomplished in one day, no no seams, no joints, not seams, sorry, no joints um in our drive lanes that
they they're need to tackle that in one day. And so tomorrow's paving is just those three streets that I mentioned. Um and then next Monday pending weather that lined up for Fourth Avenue on Monday. >> Fourth Avenue then all the way past
>> all the way from the highway to >> to the to the T. >> Okay. >> I You have one little tiny tiny question. I'm on Broadway. Do I can I drive on the asphalt tomorrow? >> Yes. Yeah. It's going to be be a short
period of time where it's cooling down. Um but by short period of time, I'm talking like 10 15 minutes. >> Oh, okay. >> It's not a long duration. You know, once they get their final roller pass through there. Um >> Okay. >> I do want to provide some, you know, caution here as far as they do lay a tap
an oil down before they put that final lift down. you may have to drive across that out your driveway, you know, or you would be available for that matter. Um, be careful, go slow. Um, don't take any sharp turns on the new map. Um, things like that.
>> Thank you. >> So, that uh if there's any more questions, we will be looking for council's approval tonight for number nine. >> This is for work completed in May essentially.
>> Yes. Yes. The cut off was the 22nd of May. >> Okay. >> Question. >> Motion to approve application 9 for 2025 north side improvements. >> Second that motion. >> Motion has been made and seconded to approve pay application number nine. Any
further discussion? In favor? I. I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. >> Thank you. Uh and then my last item action item tonight would be then change number one for our 2025 north side improvements project. mentioned before this is to add the
stretch from I call it the Norman Penn Street Fourth Avenue kind of intersection there on 4th Avenue all the way at 75th Street North. Um this is a request from the county as probably are aware they've already done their edge mill along the curve line there. That's
tie in properly to the curve line. There's no more millions in that area. Inch and a half width across the whole full whole width of the road all the same. >> And so this is would be covering our portion. >> This these costs essentially exchange
order for 170 sorry 137,42320. This is a county cost. This is not a city. It's just it's it's just going through the project that the city project. Um and so this will be to cost in our property that essentially
>> just allowing them to piggy back off of >> correct >> our pass through. It's just a pass through. Okay. Uh I'll make the motion to consider or approve rather change order number one 2025 North Side Street utility improvements. >> Second >> motion made second. Any further
discussion? Uh in favor I I post same sign. Motion carries. >> Thank you Jared. Anything else for Jared as far as projects and things? I got one more thing. Um >> just a quick update on on the South Fairway Estates project. Um they are
tanny scheduled to start stripping and and then from there they cleaning and rubbing next week. >> Great. That's all I have. We'll take more questions for me. Thank you. >> Thank you. Hearing none. All right. Moving on to uh
director of public works Mark Voose. >> Good evening. In your packet, you have information on a uh purchase of a locator. We've been talking about this for >> a long time. Um I guess I'll jump right to the thing.
Our main reason getting to this is location locating of the uh it'll be GPS location of the force maintenance cloud. Um it'll also be used we can curve boxes. We can do anything with it. This is a little nicer locator. Um, you know, but it
we've had discussions with Bolton on this, other cities. Um, we're going to the nicer I say we're going to end up GPSing going to take some work, but all the way to St. Cloud after being called out twice in May on a Saturday, including once on a sat late Saturday
night for emergency locates. It really changed my mind that we are going to do this. It's, you know, we'll have locator. So, I'd like to approval 12,465 for uh through utility logic. Um it's one of the common ones that cities use,
you know, in Minnesota. >> We'll split this in water and sewer. >> Sure. I'll make the motion to approve uh the utility locator for the price of 12,465 as quoted. >> Second motion. >> Motion made and seconded. Any further
discussion? In favor, I I post name sign. motion carries. >> Real quick, pool opens tomorrow. As far as uh mechanically, I think we're looking really good. Uh we already sometimes were struggling on the baby pool tomorrow. Baby pool, everything is leveled off. Water's leveled already
this morning. And uh you know, we go to open. So, I think on our end, we're really good far as I know. Anyone else need an update on it, but I know all the ladies have everything ready to open there, too. got all your summer help lined up.
>> Yep. Yep. That's in the packet or somewhere there. We three but >> part of the >> two or only we have. >> So, but that's where we're at with the pool missing everything. The filters seem to we have a little trouble. One of the filters is on its last, but it's
like we know we got at this point now. We might not open it up in middle of the year like we normally do and we'll get by. Um, with that, we obviously know the park issue. Um, I'm going look at the camera. We got to do some discussion here. I'm going to get some numbers together what we can
do. I mean, it's sad that we can't open our park, >> right? >> I don't know. >> Budget season. There's nothing we can do right now. It doesn't pay to beat it up tonight, >> right? Budget season is upon us. So, I mean, we might as well factor in fact to bolster security. Like I say, we were able to get the parks turned and
repaired in a short time between our vendors getting us stuff for the school picnic. So, guys did a good job with that. Um, going back, we have all the scout house exterior lights here. We're going to put some bigger lights to the east. We don't have motion lights to the front right now. They're just regular
lights. So, that'll be taken care of. Um, I don't think I have anything else public works unless you guys have any questions for me. Quick fire thing. Are you good? >> I think so. >> Fire. Just uh two quick things are both
grants. Uh last Wednesday night we put on over $30,000 of hose and nozzles on the trucks from 2024. It takes that long to turn. So that was a great we needed it. We have a full hose that so that is
but with that we have met Saturday. We're going to apply for FEMA grants for 2020. I guess it's six now behind they're mess messing with things or whoever is but u what it is we're going to apply regional grand fire department
for portable radios don't have numbers yet and we just met Saturday and we're also going to do a turnout grant for a smaller grant for some turnout here what I mean is it's a 95% we have a 5% math I just need the understanding the question they ask application is my city council
on board with us uming I don't have a number that question come out. >> Sure. >> Other than that, I don't think anything else. >> Excellent. Thank you for the updates.
Um, uh, Sarah is is out. Uh, old business, new business. There's nothing really. I mean, >> I do have old new business as a female on the council. >> Okay.
>> I cannot help but get more than a little bit angry watching men rush in when it's a technical resolution. It feels wrong. Now, I hope I'm wrong, but I have been on the council almost
four years, and if you consider it nice and simple, a woman can give the resolution. But my goodness, if it's technical, we're going to have Jeff,
Brandon, or Gary giving the resolution and approving it. Now, it's not a big deal. But do you know what I do before I go come here on Tuesday night? I memorize because I have
a brain problem. And I don't mean that the way it sounds, but I memorize the packet. I know what I'm reading and I know what it means.
And I come in and it is embarrassing. I believe Stephanie has the same feelings and we we're going to get more women like it or not. We're going to have more women on the council.
Have a little respect. >> Sure. >> That's all I ask. >> Or or just beat us to the punch. I mean, >> we I don't speed to make a resolution. It it feels like the men see that it's a
technical resol resolution here and they'll go let's see I can't even find one off the top of my head they will find something that is technical whether it be asphalt or
machinery or whatever and it's bam we've Sorry, mayor, but you're right next to me. The mayor given the resolution and Jeff second.
>> I'm prepared for my meeting. And when I make a resolution or a second, I make it for that reason. >> And I'm ready to make it. Okay. If you want to make a resolution or you want to make a motion, like beat us to the punch. But we're also keeping a meeting
going. And I find this a little offensive to make it a male female thing. I thought we're all a team on this. I take offense. >> I thought we were too, but it isn't the way it feels. >> Duly noted. I moving on because it seems
unnecessary. Um old business uh we have big splash coming up on June 10th. Um we are prepared ready to go. It's a community event. We invite all those uh to join us. Uh there'll be hot dogs. >> Yeah, hot dogs, chips.
>> Chips, stuff. We'll call it a hot dog lunch. Um 5 >> 5:30 >> we jump >> jump. >> So meeting earlier, I take it >> 5:00. >> Well, we're kind of advertising from 5 to 6. >> Yeah.
>> 5:30 we'll jump be done by 5:45. The pool opens at 6. >> Um and so that'll be good. Uh all those are are welcome. It's a family thing. Um there's no cost or expense to those that join us. Uh we'll have the Lions Club I
think is helping support maybe serving, making food, things of that nature. Uh and then of course a bunch of uh interesting folks that you'd love to see jump in a pool fully clothed or in costume. Uh and then I'll plug while we have Vogy and um
Griffith here. Uh we do have the Foley chamber golf uh outing happening which you guys sometimes usually attend andor sponsor. So we'll send some emails your way. Uh we love to see your support um during those events. Uh it all goes towards a good cause uh raising funds
for scholarships as well as of course um uh increasing exposure to our businesses here in the local area. Uh anything for other new business or old business? Hearing none. Motion to adjurnn. >> Motion to
>> perfect. A second that motion. Any further discussion? Motion made and seconded. >> Thank you. Good. Good. Good.
