on Cass 54 and Casa 2 Cate replacement this is uh in conjunction with the ditch 3 project that's going to be going on uh we did receive bids last week uh we got total of eight bids it's kind of surprising uh little bidder was Joe
Riley construction in the amount of$ 42,43 57 uh roughly about 12% under uh what we estimated the cost would be so I guess my recommendation would be to uh award the big to Joe Riley instruction in the
amount of $ 420,475 57 so moved I'll second that motion in second any more discussion on your last L yep there is my uh Checker wasn't
working all in favor the motion signify saying I I oppose carried okay and the second one I have is uh bids for our 2025 traffic marketing project uh we did receive three bids which is nice because it was down to one
bid for the past few years so we did get a little bid from Camco Incorporated in the amount of $ and this project will be in conjunction with another one this year is the uh Federal hsip Edge line striping project which is every other year and Becker
County is in charge of it this year so we'll be getting edgeline striping and this will be supplemental to that doing Center Line and other roads that aren't on that project so so do you rotate on the roads doing this striping or just go around it well typically it just depends
normally I U work with the maintenance staff since they drive the roads the to try to get a feel for where what roads are going to need it and then we go from there whereas with the federal project that's just every other year so how many how many miles do they do will they be
doing oh I think this was like my head I think we're going 800 and some th000 ft of striping so I don't know roughly probably 50 miles in there somewhere
that we already stri on this project probably save a amount on the other one too I'll make that motion to approve Mr chair second any more discussion all in favor of the motion
signified by saying I I I oppose car okay that that cber down there been the first one they did when would they get on to that you think uh the one on 54 and two I not
sure yet we will be having a meeting with Joel Riley here on Thursday for the preconstruction meeting or County Road 34 so I'll have a chat with them on Thursday get a feel for when they think they're going to do the project and
we'll be also be having a pre-instruction meeting on for County Ro 43 as well on the same day on so them pipes are coming out and different ones going in there or yep the one will come out on 54 and we'll take that pipe and put two two and it'll be a new pipe
under 54 cuz I know they did some like a week or so AG go down south of shic Alberta they they put a pipe in down there south of Alberta somewhere down there it's long ways away for me to go check

and they're mostly done you're going to be in the field not whatever but he's got couple they were first wereing potential on pick up or what and you know I kind
of three weeks ago I kind of trees all the way reality real hard Ry weeks I shut off was like February it wasn't going anywhere anytime
soonman interested you will glacial PL they'll be able to spin around service he kind of he kind of warmed up to me he know I said you know
who I am don't you I see don't be leading himra no my uh yesterday though they were they were not very offensive baseball track you I said well
boys you're not being atten to show [Music] you we were out yesterday needed to be to cuz I had my old in maybe keep the they're
pretty especially pretty because play a like I told guys are pretty good you can't win with seven G the ball seems to find I enjoy just get pushing 70 years old I
that spend more time with your girlfriends or what that would be scary to Jeff I signed up for one year ran you were Sheriff didn't sign up for all many years for
that well yeah I I was 38 when I got elected when I started not adding anything there right I do that again icity don't the [Music] you know every everything it goes so
fast because you're under the gun you know new reports come in and you got to get these um let's see can do the actually the cleaning contract
schoola and these are two of the mowing [Music] contracts I'm GNA tell one first they're really superent they just didn't go to experience I got two of these leave one
down e e e e e e e gu one of these yeah well we don't have
any I had a whole stack of these yeah there's two different ones oh there is okay e e e yeah e e
e e [Music] that okay have you so we talk about we're talking this over here right portion of it there is a
small L shade that puts up against just right but that's already covered under contract isn't it I already have yeah that does the whole thing at once right that was already covered so we would necessarily need I mean it's in
here [Music] but because that was done you know unless Justin was looking to change correct me if I'm wrong but that was done so it was all done uniform yes oh should
we that or not it it's a fairly small right and it's it's in here now I think you know that's e we RFP request treat [Music]
work Landscaping it was trimming but not like yeah no I don't Ed Jean that was part of it what Ed Jean yes
that cour includ the department well I would operate under the assumption that yes it would include the courthouse ground which historically has included the north of the courthouse right yes believe Carl talked to all that were
interested he did it he did some walk around the courthouse with I did a walk around with both um gr green and also John of the courthouse um I did that for
the I explained the snow area and I also explained the the grass cutting area and the boundaries this Carl Yeah Carl in your estimation and when it says monthly lawn Bo trimming Courthouse your
estimation would be that include the law enforcement center in the area west of that that's that just the enforcement P yes that included all the way back around the law enforcement currently what it was currently being mode is what I what they
what they were to put a bid in for so when the law enforcement grass gets in uh put in place and um growing that's when they'll or when it's ready to be be cut they will start cutting
that gr green also stated that they had some temporary hoses uh that if they got the bid they would be willing to uh loan to us to that hook right into the faucets on the
LEC and then it would automatically go on a timer system to water the grass when it needs to be watered you mean to get it started just to get it started yes okay all important
is others in the room that we determine and award this estim this these bits today especially the lawn and the snow well I don't think we would have to do it today snowing right now yeah yeah I understand and the
reason I mention it is we got a lot of information as should we apply some analytics to this to see how this relates to if we were going to hire somebody to replace what we did in the
past um I I don't know what the analytics are and some these bids I mean there's it's going to require because we got some bids that are for time and some monthly and I don't know that I would be
comfortable to weigh in on it without spending some time on them Carl did a calculation I don't know if Carl you want to speak to this but it was a loaded rate was 108,000 did that was did that include Carl the U repair costs and things like
that to our equipment but that didn't include all the extras the Landscaping any of those extra costs they were or they weren't they W that loaded rate
it wasn't really a loaded rate it was an that was the annual expense for the employee the piece of equipment the fuel that so Jeff you haven't seen
this go back to my question would it be appropriate to have Mr Merck reviewing these to see maybe some of this is would be considered in his wheelhouse and he assumes to probably do something it and and so
we're I'm not comfortable look opening these bids within 15 minutes or 20 minutes waiting on that's just well there is a lot of stuff I mean yeah Mr chair I I agree with Ken there
but you know we got to go over all this because we make a decision today you know this guy says he's going to do this this one says they're going to do that this one says they're going to do this and uh we need to look at this
uh and I I like the idea of Jeff and maybe the county coordinator and one commissioner take a look at all this stuff and see what uh see what looks the best but to make a decision today I think uh I think we be get behind the
eigh ball down the road so you mentioned do I having someone from the board and Jeff and the coordinator it's prior to the new were current and I I would agree with you and
they come back in with a recommendation and some of the analytics as it applies to going this route or the other why just have a building committee say either the building committee or the
Personnel committee seems like the well we know what the dollar figure from the Personnel stand point was that makes sense that's good idea do that yeah we can I mean
there's to me there's questions like the one from Chad where it references the 990 is that for doing the back and other amount it's just I have questions I would like to
ask so how do we do that then Justin do we just keep a a record of all the bids being we've got these and we've opened them we just keep a record of them in like the minutes and come back in two weeks
yeah I think we should be able to come back in two weeks and we only did get one on the cleaning so and what's happening with that now I'm doing it down added for two more weeks or do
we need to work that I have to yeah will cooperate we let go or rather than we I mean the bids are closed so we're not going to get more we're not going to well if if one of your questions was
Contracting and versus hiring we don't want to awarding a contract and turn around in two weeks and say well no we were just kidding yeah for that reason then I agree with you 100% we should really them all CU all the originals are here so you need a motion to that Mr K well I
would just on the agenda let table table it till the 15th and do we have building or Personnel say building I think so yeah I do too thank you to work of personality
done the dollars convered to hiring that building that you had build [Music] righty okay table that until the 15th and we'll move on to the
sheriff he's not coming or I don't think so okay for the elate city contract for law enforcement there was one change from all the other standard contracts in that
correct me if I'm wrong the city of El Lake doesn't want to be responsible for initiating I don't know if that Chang or John said it was that elake doesn't want to be in charge of initiating negotiations right these are both the
same right I believe so yes those are both the same contract yep let me ask you try initiating negotiations in subsequent years or within the contract year per what's
negotiations so I mean in reality they didn't initiate them because they it must have said that but I mean we approved last July we approved a contract price 425 so reality we initiated it then anyway and that's but
we're looking at completely redoing we had a meeting with the clerk and if things went well with negotiations like I'm kind of hoping it would that [Music] becomes there really I mean we're hoping for a Perpetual contract where we would
give them a price early in the year and then they would just let us know how they wanted to do if they want out they got to let us know by X date we give them a price by X date if there's a problem they give us a notice by whatever date so the last
contract review said the payment may be made which didn't happen well it may be made 11 12 or one 12 maybe was studly monthly so is that addressed and or they going to get 11 and a half month terms no we well we
brought it up to the clerk that it would be quarter now that's the cler it's not contract but oh are we going to agree that it needs to be the monthly quarterly well that's a contract that we don't have in front of us right that's
what we're going to talk subsequent years or current years subsequent years so how about 2025 the payment language did not change say that again the payment language did not change but how about
the payment expectation yes I haven't had any conversations with the city about the payment expectations I know well I'm against leaving one city be able to finance their contract for 11
and a half months and the rest they had a different rate that just not fair it's to $5,000 wor the interest and how you do the analytics and I'm not ready or willing to go back
and start this all over because if we do that there then realistically we need to go back to all the towns even though some of them are already paying there so I I'll make a motion to approve the agreement with the city of
elake and in the future that I mean it says in here monthly is what say yeah so we're willing to D me and I don't think there's even bill sent out
actually I think it's just paid so I mean that's that's on us as much as anything I'll second choice motion have a motion in a second any more discussion all in favor of the motion second saying I
opposed carried Mr chair I'd like the official minut to reflect that our expectation is that they pay either monthly or quarterly like the other cities in the county do we know do we know uh how every one of our contract
C are pay some of them pay monthly some of them pay quarterly one pays annually okay so that's all over I mean that it's all over and that's on us because it's not spelled out better so but we can get
it that we can get it that now next year will come real fast right so one thing that was brought up in that meeting with the clerks is the Environmental Services just build they build I believe quarterly but but they just sent out the whole Year's worth of bills that are not
they didn't actually send them out because it's the same amount just broke out into four right right so they just sent all of them for the whole year so then it becomes y but yeah currently there's not bills
being sent out so it's just the cities are paying whatever well we got 21 some million dollar budget we can't figure out how to properly build for services we got an IT problem I just don't think anybody ever
looked at it before I think we can't do it yeah and I agre that I think I mean it's obviously a goal but I think standard it's just not right and it's okay to be fair 20 minutes 20 minutes 20
minutes you got to fill that 20 [Music] minutes I do have one Mr chair I do have one question on you know these bids here that just popped into my head you know the one bid
one bid had a rate a monthly rate for snow removal that's one thing we have to decide are you going to contract with them for snow removal whether it snows or not or you going to go by the hour if it does that's there's your there's your
million dollar dilemma yeah is my history with sow removal is I first got on Barett it was done a yearly well it was done there was a
retainer and the one who did the plowing worked his retainer off on an hourly rate and the other one who did the hauling had a retainer that was not I mean that was just it and then it was buildable hourly after that then when we switched providers to do all of
it he went to a set amount for for I believe it was 45 in of snow and then it's $400 an inch above that so do you want the hourly rate do you want the monthly
rate the monthly rate is way easier to budget because the amount is there actually what do you how do you want see that's down down in the Metro you know the snow removal guys they're bidding they're bidding you're to pay x
amount of dollars whether it snows or not and they're hoping for a light year that way well what bar yeah it's 18 Grand a year for the six months and then if it is over that 45 inches then it's yeah $400 an inch but it's not
payable until the next budget year I see so you can budget so you never really have a budget Buster because you have time to to budget it yeah to put it on next year yeah right but I mean we don't we're not being offered that scenario but yeah I mean from a budgeting
standpoint with Winters because the last two Winters you take it in shorts if you do a monthly right but if you take 23 you'd want to have the monthly rate y we're not done yet though we might have snow till May sure the one thing I not
sure Ivor of is an already rate I've seen I've seen how they can go we're not talking about a co-op here now are we in recess or just like you guys got to do stuff you do it I'll be
back I uh I'm still not I'm still not convinced that that we should have we'll see how the figures come but I'm not convinced we shouldn't have another fulltime guy do what that right because when we need
something that's that's that's my thought that's why I want to see the analytics just just I hope okay with it's just too much no we can make the decision I don't want to say something about it today yeah
there's no way because we gota gota just figure this all out yeah spinning in my head yeah yeah I mean of course that old tape buch right right well you said it I didn't what
time we got you back by 3:30 1015 1015 what was on N public hearing or no just we got to wait a while it's they're not here government Environmental Services I wonder if uh Billy there he
must have been really sick because he could he could have jumped on line right yeah Greg promised me he was GNA come and entertain you guys during the Gap what was that Greg said before these next people
are coming on he said well maybe Reed and I can come entertain the board for a little while okay but I see he didn't do that no Carl is that Carl Carl is that you yep what what kind of uh how are you
feeling uh I feel like I'm above dirt right now and that's I'm I'm happy above dirt I'm once the walk-in clinic gets open I'm going there [Music]
so you got are you ay or you just just feeling terrible all over uh I uh I move I walk 10 steps and I sweat
like crazy and I got a cough and I got I don't know sounds like bill and I have the exact same thing so yeah that's not good you keep talking to Dr Dwight he'll get you fixed up well the reason I asked
is back in uh about the 20th of December I had those same symptoms and I had Co so wasn't good yeah I don't know our my whole family's got it we're all
down and out great fun with local boards starting tomorrow too so I'm going so if nothing else I'll get everything set up for Matt and Vicky and they can go out and start them I guess yeah well they're they're
capable I don't want helps having good staff that's for sure yeah I hear I hear good things about both of them you know that from the people that they've been visiting we in my area so yeah it's
good Wonder Ashley if they got down that school in Ash earlier today I was hearing rumors of that yesterday [Music]
so Harvey's sister there what's her name again saor Taylor saor sailor I got to remember that because when you call them by their name they up you know and then your other daughter's name
Piper Piper yeah I know her that's right I give her I get her right when I see them I go eat dinner up there you know a lot when I'm working on the bald ising
all younger kids get [Music] good school they it wasn't that bad but I said well you should have called pull my Taps I'm done Maple syruping oh which is fine cuz I was up till about
1:00 in the morning Sunday night Monday morning finishing yeah where where uh where are you cooking it off that in just in my yard yeah you got a wood wood set up or no I well I bought a pan but I just used cinder block oh
yeah so it was not efficient at all no I was out to the Bowman set up a couple times and they were cooking off on uh last Friday I would know there and uh
they had two two big cookers going and they're they're throwing in oh I don't know 80 gallons sometimes and it's weird how they're doing it they they got a they got a heater a warming B above the M that what
you got to do crickle it in there so they don't lose their boil it's better to do it that way because yeah mine is so inefficient but I have it's hard to see on here there is it's a smaller Oher up there yeah
[Music] but so how much get cooked on you get so I did 40 on gallons on Sunday yeah and in total I probably between 80 and
90 yeah had a goal of two gallons it's not that hot in here leave the heat up I got well that's good stuff I turn it higher it don't work it must not work well I don't know
yeah we don't trees that and so I'll give them some no next year I'm hoping to get like up to 10 yeah I guess like uh Sunday there trees are really running out there and I you
know I I was not I just it was a last minute thing to do it this year so I'm assuming there's still a lot of run left it's just I don't have time anymore I got to yeah they were they're pretty they
can read the tree pretty good I guess because they said the bags were in the morning were uh there was big drops coming out of the Tapper and those big drops are add up go make sense you know what
yeah hey dway you still the baseball God up there in Ashby this year well yeah I'm the I'm the junior high coach yeah okay yeah we I was just telling Ashley that yesterday my players they had a little attention problem so we worked it
out of them the end of practice do they like that or what we'll see if it had practice Yeah they pay attention better or not I I was at the cage and I was turning around you know I had everybody Bunning I said I want everybody in here Bunning five five
bunts off the machine so you can do it but I want them coming in and real quick and I want you guys paying attention and I could hear him back there the whole time yap yap yap you guys aren't even paying attention and
what you're going to run tonight well then it got a little quieter then I told them half an hour later we're going to we're going to run a lot tonight yeah so because they they lose their train of thought once in a while they're young and old they're kids they're kids it
appears like the Minnesota Twins have lost train up to jeez you know what I think I think that uh it don't matter how bad you get beat there you can play them on the pitching but if you don't score any runs ever you never they don't
get you got score runs to win that's what that's what I always thought defense wins championships unless you don't have an offense yeah that's right so but you know man they if they if they don't pick it up I think bald is going
to go down the road something's wrong you know they claim they have these great offensive players but he wi Willie cast was the only one we could get well the money they get paid they should be shouldn't be the coach and tell them
all to hit a goddamn ball a know how about them these guys that get injured all the time yeah brooklee and then what's his name leis yeah that's two two two big uh dogs in the wheel there you know they all I mean yeah yeah I seen when uh Lewis got
hurt you know that was on TV he hits his dribbler down the third Baseline he'll beat it out you know and then he comes up Lan hamstring probably be out for four months who knows they don't he do they get paid when they're out they get paid
yeah I think they must uh the teams must have insurance policies on him nor the reality of the hamstring he done for the year yeah even he comes back any no he ain't going to dare to push it that's why I just
walk yeah I'll say it again if you see me running you want to run with me you because something bad there's something bad coming pick it up how many how about New York how many they got how many home runs in they had
15 the first three game yeah they've scored how everybody's blaming it on their bats they got well you but you still got the bats got to hit the ball yeah yeah got BR the bat to hit the ball they they uh they're all legal but they they made torpedo bats out of them they
moved they moved uh they're skinnier on the top they moved that thicker part down to trademark into that area and then they're skinnier from there to there to make it legal for weight wi yeah it's a torpedo B but the too is the
ball right about like that is that what you use no so if they hit it off the end of the bat will it just F that b you think well it just won't go very far so if they hit it in The Sweet Spot oh yeah because that that
it's a really hard wood and it's just a bul you know right they enlarged the street spots y they did and that's obviously legal yeah it's legal they go by weight I think they go by weight yep
so with that Aaron judge you know he didn't do crap in the World Series last year you know he kind of blew it actually but uh he's an animal yeah he he four of them runs now I I I watch videos of his batting
instructor you know he's 73 years old that game and he's got a he's got a style there that a lot of hitting coaches don't like or think work good but it works good for Jud and uh it's
all about toil and hip hip rotation and keeping your hands in tight rather than being out here like that that guy he's 73 but when he when he shows his videos
he can really prank prank on them yeah well that'll be you in a few years 73 yeah five years batting practice well I still get in the cage with those young guys but I sure
wouldn't want to run though I could still see the ball pretty good but I I wouldn't want to have to take off the first hit far enough you don't have to run that's true or if you strike out you can walk back to
Y there's a plus to everything so anny your grandson is he playing baseball now then yeah spring y West Central yeah good they got players I don't know how many they have they finally got a coach for the Junior
High group who is that H what's his first name it'd be a relative of Scott Anderson but tell him he he's coach younger kids is it Helman he's a retired guy okay but he just loves sports and he goes the baseball
game so so your grandson is he like yeah I think so is he is he a seventh grader orth gr eighth grader he's probably getting 14 in yeah but you know you West Central never really had a stellar based they don't have a Dwight L
well I mean compared to what like Ash and some of these schools but that prba I mean that's been a good deal oh that prba is a great deal yeah so the best best thing yeah
even a grandson Troy you know you know he never never i' never really seen him get the ball solid all the way through prba but now now he's 13 and had some strength to him and he hits pretty hard in the cage now yeah can't believe it's
the same kid actually but uh now if we get him to work on his defense and pay attention then be good he one of my wayward the way you guys paid attention yesterday you don't even need need your glove today that's right that's what they should do tonight you leave the
bats where they are leave your glove cuz last night there they go we might not have school tomorrow oh I said what does that mean well we can't can't really practice then you know don't have school that's a poliy oh I go really Gym's open you can run
yeah know I I I really enjoy watching young kids I don't care whose team they play for CU when they're when they're like in fourth fifth they sixth grade and they don't say they not doing much that don't mean not but it's when they get to be 14
15 16 1 18 yeah they can come on be the best player yeah weirdo that go it's a fun sport yeah it's a thinking man sport
though got a call from the guy from Pope Douglas they ran a little longer in Steven's count than they were planning for and then the weather is not helping to many so hope we be here not too long
okay you did send that report and that agreement you did with your board packets it sounds like Stephen SC did approve that agreement with them that but this was the guys name is
Steve from it was his request to be on the board and deal it was yearly update and talk that how it's going down there Pope Douglas summarize that the agreement for us so Pope Douglas redid their recycling
floor and then they are going to give us a one-year deal to charge 58 bucks a ton for C and then that would be less Trucking easier to haul they would haul bre would haul it right from Grant County right to PO instead of having to go back to
Morris put it in their semi H touch so they're guaranteeing a price for one year and then we kind of decide how much or how little we send there a good deal uh yes and no it
depends how they handle if there's things in recycling that shouldn't be that was a part of the deal that they discussed at Stevens County which I would like Steve to tell all of you what that what they're how they're going to do it or what they're going to do
so don't know what they're going to do they do and from what I got Tron called so there go it sounds like if it's got garbage in it at a certain whatever percent that is garbage they will then charge you the garbage rate but I don't
know what that had office where all now they start charging you by you I mean they charge us because we pay po see not Ang and Care What They're bring he pays the one for open Doug us when he HS for
them he pays that that it's it's a little so when he hauls Solid Waste there they can be sometimes be a little finicky on things that are in garbage that they don't want in there they don't go down their conveyors or the machines can't do so then he gets dinged for those so
he's worried they're going to be just as picky or finicky with some of this recycling stuff so there indicate what percentage of our recycling is gar he that he doesn't know but he said prob so if he took a 20 yard dumpster he said
maybe a half yard so not that much but when he hauls it to Hutch they have repeatedly said that it's some of the cleanest stuff it has some of the least amount of contaminates or things that shouldn't be in there so so that would be a half yard out of 20 20 yards
would be like two and a half perc correct so I don't know what what pope douas is going to use as their it's got X percentage now we have to start how they're going to do that if they're going to charge you the whole 20 yard as garbage or just the piece they pick out
or how they do that that's not in there um the other piece at the very end it has Greg signing it I would prefer you guys sign that not Greg or I unless you don't care then we can sign it but just just seems more like a a board sign than a Greg sign to
me so what historically has our cost per ton been when we stand up down to the cloud count uh last year was 63 this year was 65 so we would save seven bucks is a ton and then we would save a th000 bucks a month to Stevens County because then
they don't have to be our drop site and call it so it be a good little figure 12,000 bucks a year from the 12 months going to Stevens and then another 3,000 bucks and you know cuz seven bucks per
ton and we all well we 250 tons or whatever you know we say $7 a ton this year yeah then what it is next year in the following years gets to be what how they're going to handle that right they're hoping to keep the price relatively similar to Hutch or close wow
then it cuts on trucking and does $58 a ton yeah for this year what is their proposed they don't profit or loss that I don't that's a c one yep because that would tell me a lot I mean if
they're proposing to break even there's a lot of floating on what it's going to be because if they have to jack it up to be close to what you pay for solid waste per ton then we will just keep on the hutch because it doesn't cost us that
and they're not F to keep but if it it works to send it to PP Douglas that is actually much closer much easier and trucking much better for us if we can but there's just some deals there to figure out if it goes what about the
7,374 that's the total amount that we committed last year pay for that agreement is that in addition to the $58 no yeah the 58 a ton is how many tons of we hul it they do this is their agreement for them to buy that recycling
piece of equipment that they will have up and running come May so we so they went to the five counties us Stevens and then Tri County which is I can't remember the three Benton Sherburn and what's the third one we already paid
that once no we have not paid it at all we last year they came and sat down here and did their Spiel again and you guys agreed to pay that over 5 years if the amount didn't change and they didn't stiring is the other County uh and now
this is him coming with the actual agreement to pay that because now they have the piece of appointment purchased or purchasing it and installing it that's not an annual payment no it'll just be for a fiveyear 14 for five years 14 for five is the annual but after the 70 grand is
paid then that's done okay the 58 of time for one year is where we're kind of that'll be the first year and nowhere in there does it say like a percent percentage or tonnage of or how much of our recycling has to go there so kind of the idea is send a load or two loads or
three and see what kind of feedback we get we go and I'm betting Troy knows that this recycling is typically cleaner correct but some of the drop sites especially the one you know out in the country sometimes do get more than in
town or some ones in town get full of things that shouldn't be in there but sometimes they can pull them out try does as best pull some that stuff out and they dump it but you can't catch everything what you usually I mean do they actually have garbage bags or is there certain items that you yesterday I
pulled out a space heater uh little tiny portable heater thing a computer out of it last night when I threw some stuff in there that people just dumped in the one town here in recyclable correct or sometimes people the other kicker was if people
put their recycling in the bags and just throw the bags in there it didn't sound like Pope Douglas was going to get too worked on that one they were okay with that they could handle that part so that was Choice out their question otherwise they other times they've throwing big
long like egg plastic sheets that they WRA bail in or otherwise all kinds of stuff Styrofoam in the cardboard styrofoam always seems to be an issue because people don't pull it out of the box or the plastic wrappers or whatever
else comes in it so you're never going to get 100% clean whatever you want to call it recycling people wished it was recycling so they just put it in there y there's always some degree of sort and some degree of
contaminant you say you weren't sure on if it's contaminated if they were going to charge I don't yeah I don't know what they're going to do how they're going to handle that that's the question for Steve he was asked the same one this morning so he should I don't know that's coming but it doesn't address that in the
contract it does not does it need to no I'm not sure IT addresses how we now if we have say a crib mattress or something in our Solid Waste they can ding us for whatever their dollar Mon it's a 100 bucks a
mattress but that's not in our Solid Waste uh that we have with them right now so kind of piece put it in there or not but every time that changes you change agreement then so
this is a one-year deal so can see what they what they got you talk about the one year is that a little bit normal or are they looking at wanting it to only be that for I if we guessing a year over yeah
five years and they only want one year they think that 58 is going to go up I think they want the one year because they're not quite sure how counties are going to send it and how much it's going to cost them I think they're still kind of they think they have an idea but not one
enough they want to roll the dice on multiple years I think come next year or the year after they'll have you know a three or a five or a 10 our Solid Waste one is a 10 it was a 21 to 31 contract so and I would assume come 2031 they'll
probably try and roll them into one agreement solid waste recycling agreement so that would be my assumption one year GLS counties to do kind of like a trial they like it they like it if they don't they're not locked in for
multiple years good I'm guessing with the road like this they're little trip from might a little slower than 60 I called they we're just walking out the door so F that Road's pretty pretty
flat and straight you have to worry about turn till you get to 27 you start slowing down turn we kind maybe knew that too should pizza so I had Carl put us on as late as possible that tastes pretty good
right you like pizza get breakfast pizza he doesn't do doesn't like fish doesn't like ducks what's the matter of just playing old beef potatoes yeah gravy yeah been by the arch up there
GRE the last couple days I've gone the other way but you know one interesting thing I've never seen before is El lake is wide open in Christina was it never seen that yeah I don't you wonder what
the the wind or I've never seen itd but I've never I haven't seen that many diers in thech definitely got to be oh gosh before I it was you didn't have
pizza in school took a few ganders there pulled over and maybe they didn't they never had pizza in school maybe they didn't have it back maybe they didn't provide never p working for years oops the bullheads
now not in thereo water C and I'm not going to pick on somebody older than me he didn't didn't said what I said 10 years ago Point what can we do here made her in
the fun weather I did I apologize went a little long and then the weather was interesting well I'm impressed you got your pretty quick I'm just let you go and do your deal okay uh well good morning uh Mr chair and board um here just to kind of
followup um about a year ago um Grant County approved uh basically some financial support of some equipment going in at Pope Douglas uh we're in the middle uh week eight of a 10-week installation outage so we will be starting up uh and taking some material
I did talk with inab britson uh it'll probably be May by the time we're ready to accept material um but uh basically uh sent a uh just something to codify our agreement that at about a year ago Grant County uh agreed to kind of
support us getting some equipment but uh there was never really like a grant agreement so I've just uh sent a kind of a a standard boiler plate Grant agreement uh that stipulates just saying you're you're giving us money over 5 years uh the amount uh with the
understanding Pope Douglas will take single sort material for one year at $58 a ton um we don't have the final there's a huler agreement that will go with that the you know basically if there's contamination or other things um Troy's kind of familiar with that we got to work out some details um but uh
basically my yeah one of my main reasons is to kind of uh to get approval for the grant agreement and then also um annually we talk about how things are going and I did include a um an annual report and if there were any questions
just kind of on how uh that that's kind of year-end report from Pope Douglas at the end of 2024 got a question did the respective counties that were in that list all agreed like
we did so the project is funded the project is funded the counties uh so Tri count basically um Sterns uh Sherburn and Benton uh did not uh think that it was in their best interest to use their
score dollars to support this project so uh Pope Douglas borrowed additional funds uh with our last bonding uh bonding round um so I guess the main advantage is uh you do get preferential treatment for one year for the Tipping
fee um as well as quite honestly if we didn't have the report this may not happen at all and there wouldn't be a local single sort facility um also uh longer term for for you know and I basically because of the timing I had to go county by county uh in the agreement
that that that time was year in or not in uh you know that as long as the equipment happens that that that was it it wasn't a joint powers where everybody had to be in to move forward so basically Pope Douglas picked up the difference uh we did apply so and we did
did get some grants uh from the carton Council and some other to fill in the Gap so it was a smaller Gap um to to purchase some of the equipment and which two did not um so three Tri County Sterns Benton and Sherburn chose to not
uh yeah it was uh they wanted me to go to the Tri County Board first uh and they didn't give me approval to go to individual counties they basically uh said that they had better things to do with their spare dollars than than this
project so they get to will they get the benefit of the facility um when they bring garbage in so how about recycling the currently we're not looking to receive any single sort recycling from those counties and if they do be at a higher
rate so and just in general our capacity is pretty much Grant Stevens pop and Douglas is at least for the first couple years if things go well or we add another shift there you know there may be some opportunities but it was really we're kind of at a an edge to make a decision one way or the other and this
is this is where we ended up um it I didn't bring everything this this equipment is being installed right now about $7 million worth of equipment uh we tore everything out in about a week uh and then uh we've been shut down we are still taking garbage it goes right
to our pit unsorted uh so uh that's that's one item that's affected uh we didn't run as many tons in 2024 just dealing with construction um so we we built our whole new tipping floor and processing facility while we kept the uh
the existing plant built or running uh and then this is our uh long longest outage right now is because uh at some point we had to rip out all of the existing equipment bare floor and bring in the new equipment and that's kind of where we're in uh we're going to start
bump bumping motor uh bumping Motors on Monday so installation is going pretty well uh we hope to get uh General operation middle of April uh start taking some loads loads uh end of April beginning of May and then there is a one year so uh the grant kind of stipulates
kind of whenever we we we can take regular delivery so if that's not until May 15th or uh June uh we we would obviously do you know one year from whenever we're regularly uh you know not rejecting loads or just you know kind of testing when it's actual um taking full
full loads it' be a year contract for an agreed upon rate so yeah that so my main deal today is if you'd had a chance to look at the contract um but basically just looking to to codify the terms it's uh just talks about what what the expectations
are between the two parties uh it's basically over five years um that uh Pope Douglas would uh receive over that term $70,000 at a rate of about $14,000 a year um and then typically we would
submit an invoice and get paid about the 15th of uh this this month uh is what we're April yeah April 1st um April 15th of each month would be for the next five years fiveyear term and that basically
uh working together as a partnership we got a single sort facility built and funded and uh we will continue to take your single sort material um Troy currently brings it to Hutchinson which then goes to I believe mostly demcon uh
so uh in this area this uh allows us to kind of focus our recycling efforts on kind of what's local um also it changes the profit sector if you're sending loose recyclables it's a cost uh the materials we're going to consolidate and bail and then it's a profit Center so
we're keeping some of that with in our local County area about if some of this is contaminated um and plan for that yep so we will still take it if there's bags so our system because it does process garbage and single sort we're less
acceptible um some of the plants if they get bags at all it causes significant issues obviously we're processing garbage so our equipment is designed for that um it's really uh depending on the the percentage uh typical single sort can be up to about 20% contamination
that's an expectation if it gets 30 or 40% you know we would obviously start with communication working with uh and we we we can sample of material we you know we have cameras we watch it dumped on the floor we typically do a thin spread it's usually fairly easy to see you open a couple bags and the bags that
are there if it's garbage or recycling uh we do occasionally get people that they're their uh um recycle can or garbage cans full and they throw garbage in their recycle can you know just and so that's uh information we'll get back uh to uh our Grant County Partners Just
For Education uh working with Troy um but again we'll take the material what we what we've seen is if it's over 50% we have to take it as garbage we we would then charge that rate as garbage we would still do the recycling uh and you would see that but um you wouldn't
it it wouldn't be uh in in terms of collected single sort or curbside it would be contaminated and it would be considered garbage would have been 50% or the 100 um at basically at about 50 well the way we would do it we would we
have to do the whole ticket so if it's contaminated if it's above 50% it's really no longer recycling anymore it's it's garbage correct so that whole load would go it would get charged with the Tipping fee as garbage if it's above 50% so and I again uh we'll work out
that contract with with your huler we'll include you in on that we're we're still working out all the details I've been uh busy getting the plant up and running so I I haven't gotten that final contract out we have a template um some sketches and and so we'll get that out to uh
Inger britson and uh your counties just so you'll know how that goes uh my understanding is the the hauler would actually sign the contract it's up to them uh you know because they're the one bringing it in they they're the one that pays us and I think you pay them is how it works for Grant um for for single
sort we pay them to haul it but we end up paying you guys or weay hson directly okay so we'll figure that out on that contract that's it's by county by county so I wasn't sure specifically with Gran kind of handles it a little different I got a question for you so when that load
comes in where does it get inspected to see if it's contaminated so we have two tipping floors with our new facility one's for garbage and one single sort so um our total number of trucks for single sort smaller um so we basically uh it it hits
our floor we spread it out and we take a look at it um if the uh I believe most of your material is coming in uh in Packers uh so directly from your sites I believe Stevens is going to come in get Consolidated uh
and be brought in by semi load um from uh from the inits and transfer station so obviously if he's got different information we're going to you know we're going to look at that um I think you know there's contracts and then there's working together we're going to do everything we can if that's you know
good recycled material the first you know our first thing would be hey how can we make it clean it up get a little bit better if there's no progress that's when we would start you know to move forward you know with fines it's just um again working County to County
uh it's it's working together to recycle that material and just in general like I said our equipment it's all designed to handle garbage so uh we we will still process the material it just depends on how much work we have to do it's a lot more work to pull recyclables out of
garbage than it is out of single s so that's kind of where that pricing uh you know difference it would go from uh the 50 $58 uh you know to whatever ever The mssw Tipping fee would be uh would be basically to to cover our cost because
it is so contaminated did I hear you say the word fines would that is the fines the difference in the 58 to the Tipping fee or is that in addition to the no it would it wouldn't be it would be the worst case would be the Tipping fee would go to Solid Waste we're still
working out the the basically uh within a range of say 20 to 30% it's just it's but you said fines is it the fines the different in the Tipping fee or is there another fine over and above yeah and it would be the bridge between if it's $58
let's say it's 40% garbage it might be $68 a ton we're still going to call it recycling it just depends quite honestly we're new to this so it depends on how much time we're going to inspect it and so if it looks like recycling it's going to be recycling there's not going to be
a feet let me ask you again said f is that referencing the difference in the Tipping Fe fee yes or no or is there an additional fine there's not an additional fine okay thank you yeah it it would be if it's recycling but not to
the extent of a tipping fee of garbage yeah our current agreement would be allowing for some fines in that range so the maximum would be accepting it as garbage so nope I tried to well the terminology of fines to me I was it kind
of raised the red flag and I just want to make sure I was heing what yep it's yep I was just trying to bridge the two this rate and this rate if there would be any fine it would be somewhere in between but not ever above what the current tipping fee is for for garbage I got a question for you okay so Grand
County's recycling is going to get picked up here and go right to you guys yep Stevens County they pick it up and they transfer it into semi is that what you're saying that yep will they pick up uh will they be seeing some of that garbage in if there's some bad stuff
down there before they bring it to you see so Troy traditionally picks right now when it gets dumped on the floor they pick out anything that they see they're pulling out whatever stuff is in it shouldn't be yeah down there they do their but you can't get everything they just do their best to get as much as can
but Grant Count's going into truct to go correct but what they'll do too is they always before they grab on hook it and take it they open the bin and look and see if they can see anything on the top or pull and then if there is they'll pull it yep and again it's it's if we will'll try to locate it to a specific
truck or route so our our point isn't it it's we've dealt with some places where they're not going to do anything different and the only thing is a financial signal so um our our intent is to get information back literally for months uh and if if you know the
behavior doesn't change you know at some point we would send a pricing signal that's why I've seen uh you know the recycling bins in ashp once in a while they don't dump them they're that truck driver's looking at that I think got too much stuff they pull it might
end up being a little bit of an educational campaign that we got coming here too that we do have to tighten up or that's not going to the cost is going to be increased we just need to recognize that right and just in general partnership Organics you know similar
deal there's a delivery contract if the Organics are contaminated above a certain level there's a a fine or we can even reject the load um and that's been work I think very well I think there's been very minimal over the the couple years that we've been doing that I I think it's been mostly education giving
some information and as far as I know I don't think we charged Grant of fine based on contamination levs so again similar it's just it's basically in that final contract there's needs to be if if the material isn't what we all expect that you know there's
some way to to drive that like a last de driver correct but at least you know where that truck has been and and uh you know you can pinpoint a little bit of that correct and so we have cameras on our tipping floor you know we will have tickets you know we'll say this this specific load and then we
don't know where that load came from but we would yep we would get that information back to your Solid Waste officers and you know try to get that right to that Customer because or else it kind of affects everybody so exactly our our job is to get it back to whichever customer isn't or area you
know if it's by City uh to get that information back to them so when you came up with that $58 a ton rate did you figure 25% was going to be contaminated for garbage roughly correct it's about about 20% is kind of typical
um and in terms of that it's material that people think is recyclable it's it's you know not necessarily garbage but it might be black plastic or other things that aren't readily recyclable so that's in that 20 to 25% but yes that number is assuming about 20 to 25% is
getting separated out in our system not going to Commodities and would would go over to our waste energy side then is that based on an expected tons of recycling uh the rate well right so I mean because you're
gonna resell those recyclables right correct so did you base that on getting 100 tons a year or I mean is there a a an amount you need to get and I'm not thinking of next I know you said $58 for next year but let's talk
years Beyond because it a big difference between let's say 58 or 78 was there an amount of recycling that you will need to keep that price um our operations aren't depending on so our general plan is to run four
days a week on garbage and then we clean the materials out we we change a few bins and then we start up on single sort so between General plan is we know we can get Pope and Douglas as our base uh with this agreement we have Grant and Stevens which is about what we think we
can handle uh initially with our processing operations so it's built on that um and kind of what we're doing is we're covering our operational costs so whether we get all of our recyclables or and the Commodities can vary by almost 100% a year or 50 you know double or be
half of what they were the previous year both aluminum paper uh commodity prices are all over the board so it's really tough to build that into a contract basically that's kind of our margin is where those you know where those Commodities sit so we're mostly paying you what we think it costs us to to
process that material so we until we get some operational data we we we base that what what it takes us to process garbage and some estimates and what it's going to take basically hours Manpower electricity to process it so we're hoping to hold that number again if that number goes up we're going to share with
you here's our operating cost here where's the the numbers came from uh you know that that's our plan so I don't know that we'll be able to hold you know 65 that was already it's already a year old uh so or uh 58
sorry 58 um so uh we're initially uh our our published rate is going to be uh 65 is is kind of where we're at um and then years is discounted but that's what we're taking new tons from from other haulers that that aren't in the
agreement we need to approve the contract for the I I would like that yeah if you guys could just moove the actual signing of it and paying out of it since it's it was kind of approved before but that was before numbers were final final and now you have a contra number approved yes
the idea was approved but now you have actual plan ahead I'll make a motion to approve that contract of the five annual payments I'll second it okay we have a motion any any uh any other
discussion if not all in favor to the motion signify by I iOS carried thank you for your time appreciate the support and working together um and just general information I don't uh I'm thinking we may do it through your Solid
Waste group um but we're uh working with Tri County also uh the contract ends in 2031 and just in terms of counties and contracts it isn't that far away um and just uh one of the main concerns is our our net cost of operations basically
looking at all our costs divided by our tons on average is significantly higher than what our current tipping fee is so we we're working to figure that out obviously we can't work at a loss we're going to honor our current contract but you know just to give you a heads up we're working through that with Tri
County just they're they're one of the larger total tons um and also just looking for commitment Sherburn and actually asked if there are additional tons so as we're you know as we're looking at this if people if counties want you know to be in just kind of
understanding you know uh just an agreement that yep Grant is looking to be in depending on pricing everything um but uh you just again trying to meet with all the boards from seven different counties but you know eventually by 2031 or you know before that to get a
contract in place so just something to think about is are things working in general okay you know what depending where that pricing is you know are are you interested in continuing to be a partner uh that's something we're going to ask and you know uh to renew that you know what does that contract look like
uh we're looking for 15 years uh is you know just because it takes two or three years every time we do this as you get the term really short you basically end up you know working through uh and that's where um our current process is uh we we have an accounting sheet based
off of our net cost of operations present that um and that's how we you know that's how we you know present well what did it actually cost for ton uh there are things you know Tri County brings up well you know do we control when you get to buy a truck or new
capital E so there are things on there that are based on trust and and how that works we think we run a pretty efficient facility um currently perum is about $130 a ton uh we're you know ours is is over $100 a ton as our net cost of
operations um and we're still uh the the current charge rate is 97 but uh waste energy is more expensive than than landfilling uh when we did do our market analysis we are competitive for Pope Douglas if we weren't there if we put
everything into a transfer station shipped it to either uh a Minnesota landfill um it would be on uh within 5% of what our waste energy would be so just kind of looking at when we do a market index of the you know general area um just because of shipping and
other costs it's uh we're close we're not you know we're probably never going to be cheaper than landfill but we are at least competitive so good question since I represent the Hoffman area very likely drink the water that's
underneath your site can we assume that if the reports because they're quite comprehensive and I'm not assuming that our staff aren't analyzing but if there was any issues would you have Direct Communications with our
people to let us know absolutely and uh I believe someone on the grant um water uh gets our annual reports as well traditionally the district has got it so Brent will now be getting those but Brent usually the district ends up sharing with us or we reach out to them
and get direct yeah that looked at it and it's quite comprehensive you almost need to be a A chemister or something so I guess my question is going on 25 30 years old and to
ensure that and have the understanding that you would alert us if there was an issue that we didn't have to find it in the paper sure the 50 pages or yeah fair question absolutely so um we have uh we have one of the most
uh double double safe there's two Liners in our landfill with a a collection space um so we do test that so the npca requires you know our level we take we we do sample Wells all the way around um one of the biggest things is posos you know and obviously that comes in in in
the garbage uh coming in uh waste energy facilities there was a concern of if they get hot enough to actually break those down um we've done some testing and we do we the the amount of uh posos in our Ash and uh that goes out the
stack is uh significantly smaller it's not zero um so we do break that down so that's one of the most current issues uh so those are driving some considerations but yeah um absolutely we share uh you know just if if there's general information if the mpca seees something
our data goes to a hydrologist at the state we we hire a hydrologist if there's a concern if we think there's a local issue uh you know in the in the ground or dirt around our facility we we would absolutely share that so you're monitoring the intertial space you've
got that in all of your we do yep it's called the liner so we um so and and basically all landfills when you get your permit they they aren't considered to be 100% they they need to be 99 Point whatever so if you figure that out a small amount leaks into that
interstitial space so we pump that we monitor that we measure how many gallons and then you know then there's another layer with Clay below that and then so in addition to that we do sample wells around it so if it did get through all that and into the wells we would see some spikes um it's sort of interesting
just at that well there is some natural arsenic there's some other stuff that's in the groundwater that's but it's actually the stuff they're worried about often has a higher concentration Upstream than it is Downstream of our facility so there are things that aren't typically in in a landfill but there are
some spikes um and so anyway there's there that's part of the chemistry there that there's a bunch of stuff that happens anytime you dig a hole the chemistry changes a little bit whether whether it's leaking or not you so kind of changing gears you it's a a waste of energy so who is the
hospital your mostly 3M is our largest customer it is so we do make electricity but because of um wholesale versus retail rates we mostly do net metering so most of our electricity um Powers our own plant um and just the net cost per
BTU um we make almost three times as much revenue selling it as Steam as we do electricity uh even at even at the retail rate so um basically we make about a million dollars a year that offsets our tipping fee uh through the
sales mostly of steam uh are you're not worried about that changing where your clients would I mean are your you know we talk about Beyond 2031 is it are you in any way worried about
those clients going somewhere away from Steam no um for at least three them they they need thermal energy to make uh to make their sandpaper so um the hospitals heat obviously if they had we are cheaper than natural gas so that which
is why they buy us um so those that will be there there have been some facilities like let's say a cheese place goes out of business um as far as we know we're in 3m's global package uh uh portfolio uh because they they like to avoid
landfilling um and nationally we are considered a renewable energy source and waste energy is a good thing uh so it it fits their National portfolio as well so uh that's actually a success story they had a plant in Brazil that they actually
brought up uh and and put in that facility in uh early 2009 2010 uh because they they had uh renewable steam to run that as part of their Global portfolio so I there's always an option there you know who
knows with with litigation everything else uh but I say as long as 3m's around we're we're going to have a you know as a company we're going to have a steam customer there and we do have the ability to make electricity it's just so again tipping fee you know if you look at 11 12
million kind of cash flow you lose a million dollars of that and you know change it to energy at a third of that you know we're still there but obviously those would all affect what our tip fee would be we would still be in business even uh we do have turbine capacity to turn all of our steam to electricity if
it makes sense we actually make more money if our turbines never run even to replace our own electricity if we can sell everything um we we actually make uh slightly better Revenue because of that that spread between electric and steam uh BTU
sales so yeah so I guess you know that was I don't know if you saw the annual report or if you you know there's a bunch of numbers in there just kind of showing what's up um sometime in uh May or June uh again just whether it's a solid waste group or the whole uh board
uh we're kind of uh it's a pretty cool facility to come see what we're doing I will be up and running uh middle of this month should have the bugs worked out by by May first so sometime after that and like I said appreciate the partnership and and you guys help get get us some of
that equipment that's making it run while so thank you thanks for your time nothing I don't have much other than just you know I brought up at the annual um Township meeting that we did the review of all the uh Shoreline in the

interesting to go over and see that fael once St I don't know if yeah I mean I know we talked about it internally about the committee but it might not even be a bad deal where you publish in the paper and everybody go you know so it's like because the garbage thing isn't
