Stand allegiance. Remain standing for a moment of silence. 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. Thanks everybody. Okay, first thing on the agenda is consent agenda, which saves us a lot of time. Pretty much the run-of-the-mill stuff every every month. Uh, do we have
to make note or is it just good enough here? New police or fire chief? >> You can announce it. That's fine. Um, under fire department, there was seven medicals, one vehicle fire, and one motor vehicle accident. Approval of a new fire chief, Mitch Freighic,
effective 120 of 26, and accept the resignation of Bradley Hewitt and Spencer Thorson on 16 of 26. >> Do we need no motions for those two, Sue? >> I would think we would for resignation. Yeah, we approved of the get on.
>> Yeah. >> And >> but that could be included in the consent agenda, too. But you can do separate ones if you want. However, >> maybe we should have a separate one for the chief. Anyway, >> I'll make a motion to approve u um the new chief of Mitch Freighic.
>> The second. >> I'll second it. All in favor? I >> oppos. Motion carried. Uh then somebody make a motion to accept the consent agenda as stated. I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. >> A second. I'll second. All
>> in favor? >> I oppose. Motion carried. >> Community comments. Anybody with community comment? Don't look like it. Great update. Eli. >> Yeah. So, since the last one, Baldig's
been in town working getting the survey and stuff done. They did include an update. Um, I don't know if you want me to read. if I can read it. Survey crews have of course been in tone shooting topography for detailed design.
Additional scraping and shoving has been needed, but for January Minnesota weather and snowpack have been more cooperative than usual. Uh their office have gotten a solid start on the detailed design. Uh Brian and myself provided helpful information about water
treatment plant. uh they will have questions uh for the staff and council and we'll want to engage you us about the detailed design and the facility plan likely four to six weeks and this was sent a couple
weeks ago so two to four weeks I would guess. Um, and then some information about the rural water loan. You guys that um so uh the few individuals that in
town for the surveying and then they were uh popping manhole covers, they've been uh and the ones popping manhole covers are inspectors, so they would likely be around for the projects. they've been uh good to work with and seem like uh they'll do a nice job.
Um we did identify based off of just information we got from residents and stuff three additional water service lines including the 10 that we already have. So, we got three more that will get uh put into that list and then um
Ball will send that out for a bit and then we'll get all 13 done. >> That's for galvanized or and or lead. >> Galvanized and or lead. Okay. >> Yep. So, >> yeah, a few slipped through the cracks. One wasn't uh
one wasn't the water meter hadn't been replaced, so they never did the inspection on it. one um was uh the homeowner thought that there was but you couldn't see it but we I was able to find it in old construction plans that
it was identified as lead at the street um on the curb stop side it's copper on our side. >> Yeah. >> And then uh another was uh kind of a word of mouth thing again. So, um, that one wasn't identified when they
did the inspection cuz they had moved the meter. So, there was copper piping to the lead and they just looked at the copper. They didn't see the lead where it was coming in around the corner. Um, next thing was there we did uh go
through with CMR Plumbing and they redid the quote. Um, I think that was a little over 20,000. These are just the high priority issues of the rusty pipe over in the wellhouse and adding some bracing
um to hopefully get that pipe to stop bouncing that goes into the filter. It kind of it's kind of poor timing because it seemed like yeah, we're going to get a new water treatment plant. Maybe we just let this ride. But um it's been an issue for a while and it's
>> Yeah, according to Brian, it's it's a danger. Yeah, >> it's a big gamble to wait. >> Yeah. Yep. >> It could take us a year and a half to ever be ever ripped. >> I think we're going to be in that one for all of a year and a half before the other ones online. >> The water treatment plant takes two
years from start to finish, if not more. >> It looks like we're throwing good money after bad, but in reality, we got to take care of business. And yeah. >> Yep. >> Agreed. >> This should give us a be really good preventative maintenance just for the two years. and we were able to get some knocked out.
>> So, do we need a motion for the the new CMR bid? >> We would. Yeah. That didn't get put on the >> um because this it went down because we were originally going to use stainless steel, right? And now since it's going to be >> So, we're Yeah, we're still using the stainless steel. They tried pricing it
other ways and with the labor of of um threading the the pipe and stuff, they um are still going to use stainless, but they're going to actually use flanges. And then we're going to keep the ductal fittings, which aren't uh which aren't
corroding nearly as badly. So, >> okay, >> that's where most of the savings was. And then a couple of valves that um we're going to we're going to um go with we're going to keep over there. Okay, I'll make a mo motion to approve
the 164 for CMR plumbing. >> John made a motion a second. >> I select >> second. All in favor say I. >> I post. >> And the the water main break on Graham
Street right in front of City Shop. Uh Bon Brothers did a good job of getting here and getting that taken care of. So, um I think we were How long was water actually on the floor? >> Couple hours. >> Maybe maybe two hours. Yeah. Yeah. So, >> um other than the cleanup in the shop,
everything went well. >> Ball crews, we talked about that. Uh cars, we had previously approved probably back in August some trimming of some dead branches and concerns over there. They got that cleaned up. Uh I
Midwest Construction contacted me and they are going to take care of our kind of our punch list items as the weather warms up for the shed at the ponds. Um equipment wise uh I did get the sweeper in which is probably good
because probably be used shortly. But uh I got two quotes for parts for that. Zarnoth was the lower of the two so that's included. Um, and kind of uh, you know, the parts added up, but
the sweeper needed them and it's going to make it a nice sweeper for quite a while. So, >> did you, uh, work it out putting that foam back up on? >> I No, I talked to them if they had any options for foam. I think we're just going to get it in the internet or whatever.
>> Yep. That is on the list of things to do, but >> because that would denten the sound in there a lot >> for sure. Yeah. Yep. >> And make it look just a little bit nicer. >> Yep. It looks a lot better. >> Yeah. >> Because you said you were doing brooms and >> uh it's it's fixing the brakes and then
the the rubber conveyor was I think the cords were stretched in there so it wasn't tracking quite right. And then there was also a roller that was really worn on top that drives that conveyor. And then just some knickknacky um like the water level gauge, uh the bubble
window. Those were some of the higher dollar ones. And then there's uh some rubber deflectors. So hopefully we don't leave a crumb trail. >> Yeah. Either your wind row. >> Yeah. Yeah. You can tell where I swept, right? >> Yeah. Yep. >> Yeah. So
>> Oh, it's good. >> I don't know if that's under five. If that needs a motion or if we want to do a motion. >> It's just general maintenance. I mean, >> my gosh, we got to get it done. Thank God you can take and uh do the brakes and do all that.
>> Yeah. >> Yep. Yeah. >> That's great that you're on top of that preventative stuff and >> wear and tear items for the >> F450. I did change oil on that. I knew we had something going on with the U-jint because it would get a little
squeaky in four-wheel drive, but um there is one that needs attention. And then the um while I got that apart, the ball joints are due um looking a little crusty and the boots are kind of gone. So planning on doing that and then uh it
is due for its annual inspection. >> Where does that get done at the annual inspection? Does >> who does the annual inspection? Uh so previously I think they had taken that truck to Mapleton but we had the >> high performance >> high performance and that was my plan
for this one to >> I can drive it over and walk back and you know pick it up later. >> Uh other than that um this is kind of fire department related but uh the internet at the fire department is not very reliable. So, we
got a quote to update to Fidium and that's included in there. >> The phone wasn't included because we thought we would keep the copper phone, but then I realized the this phone is actually five bucks a month cheaper than the copper phone.
>> It is. Yeah. >> But, um I don't know what the internet cost was. >> Right now, we're at about $190 a month for the internet and phone for the fire station. I think that was going up to 230 or something. >> What is
>> I don't remember. >> What is this? >> I think that's a install. >> The install. So, it's going to be it's going to be about 200 bucks. >> I don't think they'll do they won't fix the copper at all. They're going to want us to go
>> fiber >> fiber. >> We had tried to We had gotten I had gotten a quote for all three of our buildings, but it was insane. Because it's like 250 bucks a month then for each building >> foridium. Really? >> Yep. To go to fiber. Yep. And then the
quote we got through >> Didn't we get fiber when it was offered free? >> No. City didn't. >> Really? >> Uhuh. >> Nothing did. >> Well, wasn't that the promotional when they were putting it all in signed up?
>> Well, you could. It wasn't free because I did it. It wasn't free, but we could get it. Yeah, but it's residential. This is business. So, of course, they chuck the price up. >> Yeah, of course. Okay. >> Pay that much. >> Crystal. >> Oh, and we don't I don't think there's
any other options in Good Thunder. >> Nope. Fidium's the >> only It's hard for them when they do trainings at the fire station because their internet is so spotty. So, >> Well, that's fine. >> If that's something the city wants to do, we just need a motion and then we can contact them and get it going.
Let me make a motion then to approve uh Fidium for the fire department internet phone. >> I'll make a motion to approve video. >> Someone second. >> I can second that. All >> in favor?
>> I oppose. Um, >> and then underwater sewer, I guess the the wellhouse and stuff we did cover already, but uh Ryan did say one of the pumps down in the lift station was having issues. Um, quality flow came and
pulled it and it sounded like it was a relatively inexpensive like uh it'll be like $400 in parts and then some labor for it. So that is >> that bill is in there like 500 bucks or something. Yeah, that is uh they should be getting that in and back together
here, but um we're just running on the one little pump and two big pumps. >> All right, that sounds good. Um I don't know if I should bring this up now. It's kind of under street department. Uh I guess not be it could
be otherwise it' be miscellaneous, but Kelvin was talking about extending that road. You know, how are we going to go about that? And uh over here where you know our proposed new water treatment thing is you know if you go look at that
you know the sidewalk goes like this and if we ever did a treatment plant we'd probably want some drive up off streetet parking. So we could use that clay up there to build that road there. And also um there's clay down to the
>> the yeah >> a lot of it you know we can clean up some of that. But my question is I believe the Peterson boys when they were working for Kelvin they put in that part of the street but I mean um I don't know
if uh >> Adam >> Adam if we would just call them two people and get a bid. >> Yeah. Yep. >> And uh tell them you know we want to go another 150 ft or whatever 200 feet whatever it is >> right. >> And tell them we have materials.
But I don't think there would ever be any money for a site plan over there, you know, where the new building would be going. Would there be money for to prepare the lot or would we just be better off to prepare the lot
ourselves and use that dirt up there? >> Well, we need to have another meeting with Bully. I think that's something we could ask them. ask them that specifically and get a solid answer >> because we don't probably want to touch it if we can get some funding for it, >> right? Yeah.
>> But I guess that'd be the best idea we can ask them. Yeah, >> I was thinking about it after the meeting, too. And we because Yeah, that is that it does appear to be high. I don't know how much they'll move back and level out or what. Yeah, >> if they're going to flatten that. And
that uh oh there's a there's probably 10 12 feet on the east end that goes to the elevator. There is one stake there yet. I >> Okay. >> And so that isn't all the cities. That's grass. >> Sure. >> So yeah, we need probably ask them
people. Yeah. >> Would be the best. >> I don't know how much we'll end up needing out there. I think that's pretty flat past >> out here. >> Out here. >> Yeah. >> If what we have at the at the compost is enough or not. I I don't know either, you know. So, I guess that'd be a good
question to ask them. >> Yeah, I'll call Adam. >> I guess call Adam and Peterson's and see if have them submit a bit. And what do we want? 150 ft, 200 feet of road. We probably should decide that tonight. >> Uh, how big are his buildings?
>> Didn't Didn't Calvin say it was about an additional 150? >> Well, that's what I was thinking. And then if we went another 50, you could push that snow ahead or whatever. Yeah, just maybe get a copy. Go back to basically there. No, there's
a little square there. >> Yeah. 153 53 150 ft by the minutes from last week. >> City's property ends right here. My property ends right here. There's a square there that's still
Peter's farmland because we have a rightway there of 50 ft I believe coming down here. Then mine is uh even over here. So there's a corner there that can't tie that together.
>> Oh that never map is it? >> No, it ain't on this map. Yeah. >> How much of this land was Paulo? Barard up >> that whole area >> right there. >> Right there. >> Yeah. >> From about right here >> that way. Then the rest is Peter's. >> Yep. And this is Well, that's part of
mine. This is Peter's here. >> Great. >> So, yeah. Paul was loting about right here. >> So, they took that the road basically here. >> On the other end. >> Yeah. that work. >> I mean, the boat now goes on that side
of those sheds, but the the storage sheds are not >> I think it can only be about right here somewhere. >> Storage the bus garage. >> Do you think it ends at the bus shed on the >> I would say about there.
>> Yeah. On the south end or the north end? I think it's on the south end, don't it? >> Uh it's on the north end of the bus shed now. >> Is it >> that it ends? Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, you know, I guess just ask him for 200 feet. >> Yeah. >> And like you said, you need a place to
put the snow >> cuz if he's going to build a building, it be us up to us to get moving on getting him a road in there. >> Mhm. >> And you never know how busy people are in the spring that I guess
get the horses out of the cart. All righty. Anything else in this? >> Uh, nope. >> There you go. >> This is uh something that BA has to be
put on the agenda. U >> for the water treatment plant project, they need to do floor sampling, >> right? >> Yes. So, it's geotechnical services to figure out what we got and whether or not it'll hold a new water treatment
plant or uh not. So, uh they want a budget of $15,000 for them. And then they're going to submit proposals for that. And the request to council action is a
vote to allow the mayor or designated council member to sign a proposal for the services once the proposals are presented by Bali. >> These guys are going to do ground survey kind of or ground >> I think they're going to bore in
>> bore in and see what's down there and if we have to do any soil correction or >> Okay. Probably where that basement was we we probably have to. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz that was probably just filled with black dirt. >> Yep. So, and again, that'd be a question
to ask when we meet with Bulock, you know. >> So, do we need a motion for this then? >> Yes. >> Yep. >> This 15,000. >> Mhm. >> Is uh up beyond the uh >> I think they want to get a budget of
15,000. Well, yeah, I believe it's beyond the what's already been voted on. >> Okay. That's what I was wondering. >> Yeah. and then they want to get a budget of 15,000 and then they're going to submit uh they're gonna request or solicit proposals and then bring one to
us but I don't think they want to wait for the next council meeting right approved >> and we don't either. We want to finally get moving. >> Yep. >> All right. Somebody want to make a motion then to approve this 15,000. >> Would we just take that out of our uh water fund?
>> Yeah. Now we're out of the general. Um I don't know which is this for the water or >> but probably John and I are going to meet with uh or Carlson and figure out where to put all this stuff. >> Yeah. >> I mean basically it's for the water
treatment plan. So it should probably come out of the water, I suppose. >> Yeah. Um I'll make a motion to approve the 15,000 for geotech services. >> Someone to second. >> I'll second it. All in favor? I fold.
Motion carried. >> When do you think they're going to do that work in the pump house? Now then, >> uh, I'll call them. I don't know what I haven't heard anything from them lately on what their schedule was. When they did the uh when they came and looked
that was a day after the council meeting, I think they were somewhat open. >> Okay. What was their response or whatever to our >> Yeah. So, uh, we're going to do stainless still, but we're going to save
all of our fittings. And then we're going to leave a few valves in over there that we had put on for replacing. And it's not I don't know what there was around $4,000 off. So, it'll be about 15,000.
>> But yeah, definitely needs to be done so it don't break. >> Yep. running on borrowed time. >> Borrowed time. >> All righty. One other question. How about um the people that did the shed? >> Yep.
>> They were very cordial to you with our concerns about how they it was built or >> Yeah, they're addressing them. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's what >> Yep. They're they're getting addressed. So, yep. He had text me uh a week ago and he said with it warming up, he's
going to get out here and get those items done. So, >> is there anything else we have to get in down there for that shed? I mean, do we want to put cement around the the pad to make it a finished? Yeah, we talked
about that and I had asked for one quote and I can follow up on that because I never heard him >> because you know you could get some you could be getting some [ __ ] or a badger tunneling under there and living in there if we just cement it out. Can't be that much cement and that way be a
finished product. >> Yeah. >> That it then Eli >> Yep. >> All right. Um, do >> I don't have a lot. Um, the audit, my part of the audit is done. They'll come out, I think it's next week. They come
out and do the field work. Maybe it's the following week. Um, they'll present the audit in May. And I think that's about all I had. I've been working with um Angela trying to learn some more of that, the funding, >> okay,
>> and stuff like that. Um, that is something that I did mention to her that I would like to meet with her and go over some more things just to kind of try to learn a little more about it. Um, and we would like to John had talked about it too is to try to get another meeting with Balig just to go over some
other things and they're open to it as well. So, we just need to find a date or a couple dates and give them give it to them and then they'll figure it out from there. Should we ever uh invite that Borne Olsson to the next meeting and see if he's got any input about what's happening up there in the state on this?
>> Well, if he's if he's deployed right now, >> but Scott said he's seen him on the TV, right? >> Yeah. >> We we could I mean, >> at least see if he's around. Just give him the heads up that we progressing with it. >> You know, get it. that's what they're
here for to help represent us and tell them we're we're taking a giant leap for a small town and you know >> well he's the one to kind of encourage us to move forward in that direction so >> yeah see if he's available >> and then what did you say Bolick had a
couple dates that didn't work for them >> the 17th 18th of February and March 4 other than that they are fairly open >> so the 17th is next Monday or Tuesday. >> Yep. So, they're not available those days. >> So, probably need to do it after 5 to
work >> as I had said. Usually, you know, the earliest council can usually get is between 5 and 5:30. >> So, if there's any days that work better, if we can get a couple dates in mind tonight, then I can get a hold over tomorrow.
>> Well, like on Friday the 20th or something at the end of the week, we're That work for anybody? >> Fridays can be difficult. That'd have to be mainly 5:30. Other people's minds aren't into they're on
the weekend, not right. Yeah, they punched out at 3:30, >> right? >> Yeah, you're probably right, John. >> How about if we throw out the 23rd or uh March 2nd,
both Monday evenings? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, >> I guess >> that's for everything. Yeah. Are you going to be around >> Q&A for >> that? >> Um, yeah, we Yeah, I would be around. >> Okay. >> Say I don't know 5:30, 6. I don't know. >> Yep. >> So, it's
>> mostly for like 5:30 and I'll see what she has what she can come up with and then we want her there. Do we want Mark? And >> yeah, probably we'll probably bounce between funding questions, too. Yeah.
>> Or we could do one before the other if somebody, you know, can't be there for a, you know, hopefully hopefully we can get questions answered more, >> right? >> Because it was just a big pill to swallow last month. >> Are they
progressively looking for other sources for us already to then? >> Yep. I've had to submit a couple other items to her. Well, that one that I needed you to sign, >> you had to stop in to sign. And then they were looking for like some bank statements or wasn't bank statements, it
was um >> and remember, but >> and at that time would we be asking for uh maybe to expand the uh the scope of the project like the water man break now in front of city shop. That's that's two
if not three times that that has broke from the county road to Willard Street >> that that it would go would be something for that project list. The other >> facility plan >> the facility plan >> that's where that's where we need council needs to come up with some
things that they want to put on that. That's one of the reasons I think we should meet with them again and then council can have some time to think about some other questions or some other projects maybe we should add into that. >> Yeah. Um >> because if we're going to do this, even
though we probably get the Cadillac of the whole deal, but I mean, you know, we got a lot of some good a lot of good piping, but there's some that definitely needs replacing. You know, they the state doesn't want 4inch water manes. So, I know going down Willard is
probably 4 in. >> Uh for sure that south in the chapel is four. I don't >> Yeah. So, you know, there's they're on gravel streets, you know, so it isn't like we're going to tear it up and tear
it black out. >> So, you know, if we could get this in here, you know, make sure we get as much done as we can to make everybody happy. I'll >> support special meeting. Do we
>> don't we? >> I I don't know. I don't remember. >> Well, I think we make a motion. >> Make a motion to have one and schedule it on those dates or I mean we post it ahead of time anyway. So, just to kind of cover it. Let's do that. >> Can we make a motion then to have that
meeting on the >> 23rd? Was it 23rd or second? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'll make I'll make a motion to um check their availability to schedule meeting on one of those two dates. >> Someone to second. >> All in favor?
>> I post motion carried. >> Oh, I had the nail committee up meeting update. >> Yes. So Jim and I met a couple times uh mainly to update our personnel policy. Some things were out of date. There were a few error minor corrections
we had to make. Um we added um verbage on comp time vision insurance. move removed um life and disability insurance from it because that's not available to
um also added um employee reviews um Minnesota paid leave and FMLA. Those are the major changes. And then um Jim and I also met earlier or last week.
Um uh we had a question on how to handle Eli for um having to work on a holiday and we talked it over to allow both when that happens. And then we added a blurb
to this one will need a motion on for sure. Well, we'll need a motion on the whole thing. um um for the city to provide an employer paid health savings account for the uh employees, full-time employees. um $200
deposited into the uh monthly into an HSA for them for a max contribution of $2,400 a year on the snowfalling. If you do that on the weekend, is that just strictly time and a half then or how how is it? So, if
it's on a I mean, if it's over 40 is when it becomes time and a half. The holiday pay was the the goofy one because it didn't say whether or not I I got the holiday pay if I worked or not. >> Okay. >> So, >> it was just vague the way it was worded.
>> Yeah. Okay. So, you got that all >> fixed it. >> Yeah. What do you want? >> All fixed >> on the recommendation of the multi-group bill Minnesota Kyle Gap. What is the how they pay? A time and a
half. Time and a half. Yeah. >> But the rest like the FMLA, the Minnesota paid leave, that was all >> verbiage provided by COG. So on that sick and safetime policy and you get up
through the end of the year, does that have to be okayed by a personnel to take it or can you just take it at an 8 hour day on Monday and another eight hour day on Thursday to get it used up? In that business here, >> you don't have to use it up. Yeah, it's
not a >> It will roll over. The cap is 80 hours. You can occur up to 48 hours a year with a max cap of 80s. >> You don't get it if you leave. >> It just stays there. >> Yeah. >> Um so
>> then if it's used, they should be submitting now. >> If it's used, then yeah, he um I have the forms that we fill out and then it gets signed by personnel committee. So, is it encouraged to use it up or just at employee discretion?
>> Well, what there's limitations on the sickest slave, but you can't use it for annual leave. >> No, you have to use it doctor's appointments for yourself or your family. >> Okay. >> Um bereavement um to take care of somebody, you get one non-family member.
>> Okay. >> Um that can be on your list. >> So, it just isn't a day off. No, no. It's a day off because you have a doctor's appointment or your child does or you don't have daycare. School got closed. Um you're
there's also the um what's that other one? Can't think of the word. You need to go someplace safe. You can use it for that. >> Yeah. If you're in a domestic violence situation, stuff like that.
That's what I was trying to think of. All right. So, >> well, with that being said, then do we have to have a motion to approve all these changes then? >> Yeah. To make the uh um >> holiday. >> Yeah. The personal policy um valid. Yes,
we need to make a motion to approve the changes the wordage and personal policy with Jim John slated on. >> All right. Got made somebody second.
All >> in favor? Motion carried. >> Well, new business. We already got that taken care of, right? Anything under miscellaneous. >> This has got to be a wreck. >> So, it's more on the ball.
>> Well, yeah. I I typed up just a few questions I've come across. I put the uh total um for the three projects were supposedly funded for um the eight
basically $ 8.4 million. Hopefully, we'll get it the majority of that. But just questions that we need, you know, how I'm thinking how are we going to how soon will we know all our financing options? Um he talked about
getting uh the engineering costs re refunded. How does that work? Um and any other questions that I'm not thinking of because this is we're basically in the design phase of this, you know, right now and that will be going on through
August. And then however long the funding takes and you know when are we going to you know break ground um um and how does it work from there and then are they
going to help us if we if we have to actually uh take out bonds say we that 8.4 million say they only give us five and a half and we have to fund over $3 million. How are we going to do that? And um are they going to help us get all
that submitted? And I think that's pretty much their their job to find us funded. >> Yeah, we didn't get a whole lot of information from Angela when she was here. So that's kind of why I wanted to have her back. >> Yeah. >> Um just to go over >> Yeah. And like like I say, for me that
was a big pill to swallow that night. You know, it gets to be a long meeting and then >> and it was a shock. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, >> well, before the meeting, I was just asking John 101 here about if we take a half million dollars to do to get it
initiated and going, you know, that will leave us what, $400 and some thousand left in our >> Yeah, >> that'll leave us about 200,000 in our checking account right now. >> Yeah. But if we take it out of that uh uh >> 4M 4
>> 4M, that would leave us a little about over >> Well, right. Right now, we have the option if we just do the 500, we our checkbook balance will will last. We'll probably have to jump into uh uh savings or >> Yeah. >> our um investments.
>> I see that 4M makes us about $3,000 a month right now. >> Yeah. >> That 4M schedule, that journal entry that you have, I don't know if you still have it over there because that will tell us how much was in the water fund. Um, water has 29,739
as of the 5th. Um, but that's other questions that we have for Birkhart, too, is so we obviously didn't budget for any of this. Um, in the investments in the water fund, we have 29
almost $30,000. I thought we'd have a little more money in there than that, but we did, you know, we did uh >> Yeah, it's broken up. We have general fund has 530,000. The permanent fund, I don't know what that is. It has 148.
Um and then the housing redevelopment has 46,000. Those are questions all for Birkart if we can use them. And the water fund has 29,000 and sewer has almost 160,000. That's just investments.
Um because for the water fund, we only budgeted 97,000 in expenditures for 26. So that's obviously going to go up a lot more too. But those are questions we have the Birkart. But if we use our 500
from our 4M, you know, once or or out of, you know, we might as well use it out of the general and keep making interest on our other one. >> Yes. As long as we can, you know, >> as long as we can. Yeah. >> Cuz I see uh we get $360,000
property tax and then uh the other LGA uh is 200 something. >> So half of that will come in what about July? sometime. >> So, you know, it's going to be close, but I think take it out of the general and see how we go. >> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And uh we just put that other half a million dollars of engineering on the project, right? >> I that's another question. I the way I understood it, that will be a separate loan completely from the project. But
that's like when he was talking about we could get some of it refunded. I don't know how that works. >> The rural water I think is they will reimburse some of that front-end cost. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that's what I maybe Yeah, maybe that was um those are just the more
in-depth in-depth questions that I'm, you know, popping into my head. So, >> yeah, >> but I've never worked I've never had to go through this part before where we have to work on funding and all that other stuff. So, it'll be >> You did it at the lagoon there quite a few years ago. That was the last big
project the city did, you know, and that's already >> fees are estimated at that, but they're not going to expect it all at one shot >> because uh >> they should just draw against that every each step way
>> like leaving that money in that porm like John said, the fire truck will be coming on. uh some other things. Um you know, we were talked about a truck for Eli or uh so we we don't want to deplete all of our
>> right well and cushion. >> And the other thing, you know, this is just like what we'll call it the design phase. So once once we actually get funded and we start breaking ground, you know, what other costs are we going to incur? Are we going to especially if we have to finance money, there's going to
be um I'm sure some kind of um what am I trying to say? Um application fees or some some crap in that, you know, that we'll probably have to start ditching money out, you know, on top of the
engineering costs. So, >> yeah. And that that'd be another one to ask symbolics, you know, um >> once we get going, you know, what you do this for a living. >> Yeah. they were to predict to us. >> That's what we should be expecting. They're hidden costs.
>> We don't do this for a living, but you do. >> Those were just my thoughts on it. Still, >> can you believe there's a I mean, I wonder how many hours was put into engineering for a million dollars?
Be a lot. I'm sure I'm sure it's more than we would actually >> those here for weeks already in the as we're in town for three four days. Yeah.
>> So, do they asked you anything yet, Eli, about any of the piping? >> No, they're just they're just getting like existing the the manholes and stuff. I helped them with that, but they're just getting what we have now. lay of the land. >> Yeah. So,
>> I was pretty impressed with that other guy that spoke there that he reviewed everything that we've done when talked with Brian and you and that, you know, he kind of got himself up to date. >> Mark Clema. Yeah. >> Yeah.
>> Yep. >> All right. Anything else, then? One thing I forgot to mention is that uh sewer pipe behind the locker. Where are we at in that one? >> So, is that put on that's on task order
three with Ble. So, because we have to have that we have to submit a plan to MPCA before we can actually do that. >> Um >> just replacing a sewer. Well, we're extending that. >> Yeah. Because it's extended. Yeah.
>> But we're we're eliminating private lines. I would think they'd like that. >> Yeah. I don't think the permit's going to be denied, but I think we have to get >> Okay. >> a design to them. Hey, this is what we're going to do. I don't know. Um, you don't want me to say it, but the
easements. No. >> No. >> Okay. >> For sure. >> Um, we got the one the one done, but it wasn't Marian signed it, but it wasn't there was other things that were wrong with it. Um, so
Balague has them. I handed them over to Balig and I said, "Have fun." >> Okay. >> I don't I mean Kennedy said too because one of the properties it the name didn't change or it wasn't listed. So there was some issue there and then with ferro gas it was just been a nightmare.
>> That's been two years. >> Oh yeah. Yep. >> Yep. >> Here we thought we could extend it that fault. >> It just be an easy thing and yeah it's not. >> Well, I guess. >> All right. Anything else under new business sir?
Miscellaneous. >> Anybody? >> I got nothing. >> No. >> Um, well, I'm kind of happy that them guys are going to do that car show again. That's kind of nice for the city and >> Yep. Well, they did have a real good success
for just a >> You know what would be really cool >> is if if that ends at 5:00 like it did last year, have them cars all remain down there and start down there and have a parade. >> Yep. >> You know, I'm going to talk to them
about that tomorrow. I don't want to infringe on their day, >> but you know, you got all them guys and them cars in town and other things. you know, then we just have to find some people interested and uh make it happen.
>> Tyler, >> they're willing to have other things. >> Yeah, Tyler was >> Yeah, they want to have other they want to make it a whole day of other events as well. >> I know it. Yeah. >> He qu he was in variety to my store and he was asked if we heard anything yet.
He brought up about having like a citywide garage sale that weekend. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. just he was naming off all different things. Will >> I mean it, you know, it could uh >> interest in getting something together. Um
>> but with funding, I'm not sure how that's going to work. Um because >> we would we don't have the other committee that was going on that's all been disbanded. There's no >> um >> um but we can >> one called tax ID. Yeah. So, we would
have to start all that up if that's something that this group or the city or something is willing to do. So, >> we have to kind of figure out where that's at. >> And I mean, if they need money, if somebody would take it and need some funding for
>> parades, uh, we can do that. It's it's to promote our town, >> right? We've asked that >> with Kennedy on what week what the city can do and what they can't because I don't think the city can can it be a city sponsored event the whole thing or >> it's sanctioned by the city.
>> Okay. >> So you know any event if we had a parade and uh something happened the city sanctions that. Okay. >> So you know the city's hanging out there a little bit >> but that's what you have insurance for. But if the comm was a committee, an
individual committee not part of the city >> like there was prior year. >> I know it >> they could do something like that and he could contribute. >> And what I remember from that we set up the 50 501c3 I think it is but then we
designate how much money we're going to give them and then it's theirs to spend. Right. >> And we've >> or you can do a reimbursement thing. I like that. >> What you guys do with um well the archery park you donate $500, >> right? >> Um but otherwise it's kind of a it's
been kind of a reimbursement >> over the years. I think the city has gave $2,500. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> so that's something that however this committee >> if it ever takes off, however it works. But that's something >> if
some of us don't come up with ideas to promote your town, >> you know, nothing happens, >> right? >> So, you know, if you can get a group of people interested and if they're all right with it and uh try to promote your town and you know, a
small town parade is still kind of a neat thing to have. Mhm. >> I don't know. Like >> you could do that even if you didn't have anything else going on that day. I'm you know I mean you could still do a parade. >> Yeah. But I mean it'd be a pretty large parade with all them cars. >> Even if you get half of them. >> Yeah.
>> Want to do it? >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> It's huge. >> Yeah. All right. Anything else under miscellaneous? If not, somebody make a motion to adjurnn. >> I'll make a motion to adjurnn. Some >> second. I'll second it. All in >> favor say I. I carried. Thanks
everybody. Walk.
