tonight either 101 old business Birchwood Terrace Park um I utilize the numbers from the arena projects to give you a rough cost of the project repayment plan um
prior to the meeting Council Bard and I were speaking and he would he was also interested in knowing about pricing for the property and if that is a fair price for the property or not and if that's something everyone's interested in I can do a little bit of research as to the
cost of other trailer parks and I can definitely bring that back to the next meeting yeah I think that' helpful to gather all the information before we make any decision to know it's a fair market value okay is there anything else
you'd like to bring back to that I mean essentially we're buying a business so i' like to see some more numbers around map um if we s split it up and sell it as homes how many Lots would we reasonably fit in there what would the lots to sell
for and what tax revenue be on that um if we stay left it as a trailer C how many active rentals are there whatever the lot fees on that um
and then if we converted it to yearly campsite with hookups what would be reason be able to charge if lots of I can do the last two the first one you need to engage
engine as far as uh doing an RLS for the entire er um that's you know they they do like a engineering study and talk about the the land and how many Lots they put in what the roads would look like I can
definitely look into the current cost profit of the park as is and then if we were to sell those current Lots what we could sell those for as like seasonal or permanent camp sites I can do that kind of work um but reorganizing
properties how many how many are there now I don't know but I don't how in use either I know it's fairly empty I there's a lot of trailers that yeah I don't know do we know theage of the property it's
just and would we also want to have a discussion of other ideas right um another thought for this sh you've been on the Rams committee for housing would this be a potential site
for companies looking to build housing projects or um we're actually meeting with developers next week in Grand Rapids on our meeting and asking them questions about what they're looking for what our area has to offer we can certainly put it on our list of
potential sites and see I mean there questions I'm sure are about infrastructure of all them they want shovel ready so it's not something that's um ready but I can definitely ask them like here's a potential site what are your what would your questions or your feedback be on it
let see what they think is it considered Lake store property just because of that Backlot on could [Music] be I think we canable
informationis again right next we have new business 11.1 request regarding employee lead is there any background on this Becky or it's just a request to this m understanding I don't know if there's
anything that would like to add to the packet information regarding that pretty much she's so this is our second surgery this year so she's out of she's only been this little water kind I be here starting our second
year right so she doesn't have any more accumulating satification Tom Etc to get her through re next surgery I would say that if you the memorandum is good to approve tonight um
Mitch reviewed it but if you do want to do a donation I would recommend uh having me write a policy that way it's consistent across the entire city and if this situation were to come up in the future it could be less in that way um
you have had an employee get donated time before vacation time previously uh it was many years ago and no policy was written at that time but it's I know the state does have a policy on that that's perfectly legal for you guys to donate
time to her if want to pursue that too this is my opinion I'm more inclined to go with the first option um it's a pretty high stress job I think IOP is important so to see the
rest of the employees it's a good thing to do like to see her earn it as well I mean if she falls short after there's a lot of time in July she can pick up and get as far as call time shifts right yes
she comp time to use towards that um and then if she needs more after that then then we'll probably deal with that um we're also um contemplating um changing
the schedule a little bit to assist with her fun and when she comes back kind of putting her on light duty and using her as the brains of the operation and not the BR and we'll stick to two EMS on with her so I we're we're trying to get
creative but I would like to see if her be able to earn some comp time to be able to use for that right so yeah this memo that we have in front of us just allows her to be able to earn extra um comp time by
picking up these extra hours there any other questions from the council before we is this something that you talk about you mean about a later date or yeah so what will happen is if the approves this memorandum today I
will sign it Sher and I will sign it and email it to Amanda meta if she finds it acceptable which you know is benefiting the employee so they traditionally just sign that would this set like pres then be forward for no that's why we did it
as a memor than okay there's no other discussion I'll take any motion to accept understand that a motion
support motion support all those in favor I oppose motion [Music] Carri 11.2 Isa Health request regarding medical director for the Emergency
Medical Services Department yeah um Dr dich kind of put in a little bio here like you said Dr people are still employed with ension but he's kind of moving to more administrative duties um he's not barely coming up to Aurora
anymore um so essenti is kind of putting all their ambulance services that they are giving medical direction to under one or two doctors and um doctor J which has accepted the position with us um I did
send him Dr people's current contract that we have with him and as far as he said it's fine um been forward it's a legal at asens so we probably know next year all right is there a motion to
accept Dr D as their new emergency medical director a question for midle is there other opportunities to meet these doctors or sure this one I think is will be like really involved so he's pretty excited he wants to come
on call is that different that's yeah so yeah he's yeah he's pretty excited yeah yeah so I yeah well I can I can let
you know he's gonna be pretty involved in our trainings I can let you know when he comes and sure you want to come down and them for sure there any other questions about the change if not I'll need a motion to approve I'll make that
motion the motion is there second report all those in favor I oppos motion Carri 11.3 is zambon operator hiring uh you hire seasonally for zers every
year so this is just that annual hiring for that seasonal parttime position this is just the call for I'll make that motion to post these positions a motion is there a second all right motion second all those
in favor I I any oppos motion Carri 11.4 resolution 20245 accepting donation from new Range cernick uh the city received a $199,000 donation from new Range coer
nickel 15 of that was towards the Midway project um they were specifically really excited about the discol course and then 4,000 of that was for a library application which soon has been pushing up since that donation is received all right nice to get donations there a
motion to accept the donation from R motion is there support support motion and support all those in favor motion Carri 11.5 changes to the earned sick and safe time um so in true
state of Minnesota fashion they implemented the earn save time law last year and then they changed it this year and so um previously we had had that discussion that paid on call Firefighters and EMTs were eligible and
earning earn sick and safe time the law changed to say that they are Exempted from earning ear sick and safe time and so that means that the city can either choose to continue to allow them to earn that even though the state l no longer
requires it or you can choose to turn that program for them there's no Employment contract there's no negotiation that has to happen it's decision of the council and I would recommend terminating that as of midnight on the 20th which is the end of
the so there's no AC crewing parts of ships that so if we did that they would have to use all their 20 no so they would just maintain their balance until it went to zero there would be no payout
option or anything so so you know if you had 20 hours in there you would just keep that 20 hours and if you use it you use it if you don't you don't so initially this was instituted because the state TOS it's not something
that employe really asking for we changes do other employees followers as well um elected officials Airline employees um elected officials have had been acre it because some guidance from the Department of Labor and Industry
indicated that they weren't eligible for it when the emission law came out so we hadn't been acing for elect offici we don't have any other employees that fall under any others yeah as long as we're not removing a benefit of that's been agreed to in their contract and they still get
to use what they've earned to date and I would recommend just following the state guideline long as I don't there's very many that have accumulated very manys anyway so it's it's not benefit that's greatly benefit there any other discussion on
the topic if not I'll entertain a motion to to approve the guidelines by the state of Minnesota to not approve the esst for paid on call Firefighters and I'll make a motion to discontinue it
as of 7 202 2022 motion is there a second I'll second that all those in favor any motion yes all right 11.6 request regarding
City utility bill 2017 314 31410 uh the city received a letter regarding a business in town um they had a running toilet and so their utility bill was higher for that time period we
buil commercial customers quarterly um and so the explanation is in your packet regarding previous bills and then um what the cost came out to be for that so the commercial properties like you said they just get build with flat
fee umly and then yes so every month they pay uh their garbage fees and then quarterly they're build for their water and sewer usage for that entire quarter and so they go out and they do meter reads and so either you make the minimum
usage uh or you don't and so if you don't make minimum usage like Minnesota powers are really easy one they use hundreds of thousands of gallons of water and so they get build a lot for their usage um whereas somewhere like um
the the um the property in question it they don't make that minimum and so they get charge the minimum down usage perform and so this one she did increase over the minimum usage so she does have a
bill bigger than TR per further questions or discussion from the council business looks have been pretty close to meeting with all yeah like thisor um many many years ago I'm not
since yeah um a little torn of me she wasn't using there was an issue with her you know those toilet in her building but I was the water still being used you know it was still going through
the system I'm not sure go into discussion anyone else thinks about it there's a lot of other leaks throughout the city that thisal damage service but it just happened after after the
meter I guess it's not something that I opposed to you can help and support a residental business and yeah some of these are Case by case bases I like you said we haven't seen these come up it's not like we get these requests all the time and we're
constantly soon the water usage yeah it's not going to hurt to help all the business once in a while and they make special request or something like that so if we could take them Case by case and not set a a precedence for
everyone asking for usage um on it I guess I'll make a motion to reduce the city by the amount that difference at 154 been a motion is there a second to
approve the request motion and support all in favor I I oppos request is granted brings up number 12 adjournment there a motion to
ADN a motion a second I'll second that all those in favor I any opposed motion is thank you
