1
00:01:48.799 --> 00:04:43.759
Is Hold on. Yes, please. All right, 5:30 I will call the regular city of White Lakes council meeting to order. Roll call, please. >> Councilors Grahams >> here. >> Jarvala >> here. >> Ecman >> here.

2
00:04:43.759 --> 00:05:00.880
>> Brent is absent tonight. Mayor Scott here. >> We have a quorum. >> All right. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation

3
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:19.600
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All righty, moving on to the consent agenda. Has everybody had a chance to read through that? Any comments or questions for anything in there?

4
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:34.560
Hearing nothing, I will ask for a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. >> Soon. >> Motion from councelor Jarva. Is there a second? I'll >> second. >> Second from councelor Ecman. All those in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Hearing none. Motion carried. Um moving

5
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:50.080
along to the guests and citizens forum. Uh we have Sarah from Bolton and Mink will kind of kick things off with her um presentation regarding the um East Range water treatment uh project. That's the hand out that I passed through.

6
00:05:50.080 --> 00:06:05.840
>> Great council. Thanks for having us here tonight. Um, you have been handed the packet. I think it's in black and white. If anybody has their phone and wants to scan a QR code to see it in color, I can certainly walk around with that.

7
00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:22.400
Um, but what we wanted to take some time today is to walk you through what we've built so far. Thank you. uh what we've built out so far for the website. Um what we wanted to do was get a pulse from the council, make sure that

8
00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:37.919
this aligns with um your expectations and make sure that we're all on the same page. This will really help us craft a lot of the additional communication material. So, social media posts, posters, uh handouts for funders, right? Um but this is really kind of our

9
00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:54.319
clearing house, if you will. What you have in front of you are actually screenshots from the website. Um the website is built out in ArcGIS story map. So it's just one nice continuous easy scroll uh for folks to navigate and um I've just put it in your packet there

10
00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:10.160
in kind of descending order. Um so we'll start at the top um with the just kind of the opening page. That's what you'll see when you go to the website. We would envision um this technically is publicly available but we haven't advertised it

11
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:27.520
anywhere. So, um, what we'll do is make sure that it's on the website and then again through those communication materials that we're creating. We would start to really, uh, push people to this website. It'll be a great tool for all of you if you're getting questions, um, on this project. You can point residents

12
00:07:27.520 --> 00:07:43.919
and anyone uh, anyone with access to the internet to this website to get questions answered. What we wanted to make sure we did was was really talk about the project as a whole. So you'll see us uh talk about it kind of in phase one which is the current project in

13
00:07:43.919 --> 00:08:01.440
Aurora uh and the town of White and then phase two we refer to as the Hoy Lakes expansion and you'll see that throughout the uh website here. So the first part we talk about is just the project as a whole. Uh where the project funding for the current project is. Um and in that

14
00:08:01.440 --> 00:08:16.960
section I'm not going to read it verbatim. You've got it in front of you. Um, but we're also kind of highlighting some of those renderings and drawings. Um, of note, the bigger building photo on the top there, um, would be the the building, the treatment plant, uh, phase

15
00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:33.680
one and phase 2. So, it's bigger than what's being built right this minute. As we scroll down, um, you'll come to phase one, current construction. And that timeline is going to detail out the work that's been happening over the past

16
00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:51.200
few years from awarding the construction contract in February 2024 all the way to where we are currently, um, which is really wrapping up construction, um, and working towards water treatment plant commissioning, uh, which is very exciting. Of course, we expect service

17
00:08:51.200 --> 00:09:06.560
to Aurora and the town of White in fall of 2026. Um, and we've got some nice photos there separating phase one and phase two of just kind of the project over time. When you're on the dynamic website, you can click on those photos, make them larger. Um, right. And the way

18
00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:21.760
the website is built out, um, it's dynamic to the device you're on. So, it's ADA accessible in terms of if you pull it up on your phone or on your computer, right? It'll shrink and and expand those photos as appropriate

19
00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:37.200
depending on your screen size. As we scroll down, then we want to start talking about where are we at, right? In phase two and the expansion um of service to White Lakes, everything has the disclaimer, right? that phase 2

20
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:52.959
timeline is subject to change based on funding availability as we pursue those funding options uh over the next few years. We know we've been getting some questions on some of the activity that's been happening in the region. Um so we

21
00:09:52.959 --> 00:10:08.720
wanted to provide the kind of overview of things happening right so for example February 2026 to April 2026 right we're working on that subsurface geotechnical investigation and what does that maybe mean for somebody right what are you

22
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:24.720
seeing um just for the general public to understand a little bit more about what that actually means and looks like so we've worked on detailing that out we added some extra detail around what is the construction manager manager at risk. Um, after reviewing this with

23
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:41.040
staff, uh, we made sure to detail that out. And that gets us all the way to our stay informed section. Um, this website will be living over the last over the next two years, right? So, things will change

24
00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:57.279
and continue to be updated very simple to make those updates as the project evolves. Um, and this will be a place to send people as various events happen, right? We're we're planning on a ribbon cutting for the current project. So, we'll certainly add that to the website

25
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:13.600
uh as well as we narrow in dates on those type of activities. We will update that stay informed section. The other thing that I envision uh changing over time is our FAQ section, which is really what concludes this uh website. And

26
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:29.600
again, we're trying to capture what are those common questions that staff is getting, that you might be getting, um that we are hearing out in the community. So certainly, if you're fielding questions and you're like, "Boy, that would be really helpful um to have on the website, certainly feel free

27
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:45.839
to reach out and uh Dean can reach out to us or you send those questions to us to make sure that we can get those answers um up on the website. This is really meant to be a tool to make your lives easier as you're talking about the project, have that consistent language

28
00:11:45.839 --> 00:12:01.040
um for everybody who might have questions as this project continues to evolve. Because we're talking about the project as a whole um at the end of this website, we direct people to contact their appropriate city if they have

29
00:12:01.040 --> 00:12:19.680
questions. Um and certainly staff will direct those questions where appropriate um for folks that might be reviewing this website and and want more information. That's a highle overview. Um certainly open for any discussion, questions, gaps

30
00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:35.120
you think are currently missing in this website. Like I mentioned, um we reviewed this with staff and made a few small changes um based on feedback from staff. Um, and then the plan is to take this website and start building out additional communication materials, um,

31
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:50.959
including organizing some interviews that hopefully we'll tap one or two of you for as well, um, to speak to this project and be able to create some video content um, to help share about the project as well.

32
00:12:50.959 --> 00:13:08.079
>> Yeah, really nice. Thank you. Um, and so this is for everyone that's being serviced by the plant in Aurora. Um, and you might have said this before and sorry if you had mentioned it. Um, is this primarily for for residents for this this web page or is it for folks

33
00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:22.959
that are like in the legislature and other places like that? >> Yeah, good question. I I really see this website as kind of the clearing house for all of the above. We want it to speak first and foremost to the residents to make sure that we're using language that's understandable for all

34
00:13:22.959 --> 00:13:37.839
involved and everybody in the community. Um, and as we build out some more of those materials for funders, I would envision us putting those on this website. Um, I tend to add a section on websites like this that we call like a document library, right? So, as we build

35
00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:55.839
out handouts and other materials, um, we'll put copies of those on this website for people to access as well. >> Yeah, thank you. Um, >> yeah. I just envisioned, yeah, if if folks didn't know about why we would need a new plant like people um down in

36
00:13:55.839 --> 00:14:11.040
St. Paul and things like that, looking at funding projects, it might be nice to include pictures of current >> um facilities and the wise and things like that. But I'm sure that's kind of >> what you're planning on doing anyways. >> Yeah, I think that's a great comment. We'll as we build those out, we'll have

37
00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:27.760
some uh physical materials that we plan to have at things like the the uh ribbon cutting of the current plant, right? Um and those same materials will translate onto the website as those become available. >> Sounds very common. >> Thank you. >> Um does anybody else have any questions

38
00:14:27.760 --> 00:14:45.600
for Sarah while she's here? >> Uh hearing nothing. Is there anything else from you? >> I don't think so. What I would love to do um is we will send out the link to this website. We'll make sure to work with staff to get it linked on um the city's main website. So, it should just

39
00:14:45.600 --> 00:15:02.800
be a pretty seamless click and it'll look like you're just on a new page. Um and then we'll start building out those additional communication materials um so that there's additional support and tools that the city can continue to use as we uh navigate conversations with residents and funders and everybody in

40
00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:18.560
between. So, >> sounds good. Yeah, perfect. Thank you for the update. >> Awesome. Thank you all. You >> all right? Uh guest and citizens forum. Is there anybody else that have any questions or things they would want to mention?

41
00:15:18.560 --> 00:15:35.600
Hearing nothing, we will move into reports from staff. City administrator Wyberg. >> Uh I don't have anything right now at this time. >> All right. Moving to public utilities director Benda. >> Uh yeah. So I guess to start we started

42
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:51.519
some more storm ditching similar to what we did last year. Um ditching down around the way kind of stuff. So right now they're going from off the end of Sol uh through the lake and then up all the way to Canterbury cuz we have a couple small outalls that go in there along

43
00:15:51.519 --> 00:16:09.839
that ditch. Um it's just been filled in with erosion and buildup and trees and everything. So, we're getting that dished out to get better storm drainage on the on the uh that just started uh Monday.

44
00:16:09.839 --> 00:16:24.720
Shouldn't take them more than probably this week or maybe a little bit till next week. Um to get that done. Also, hydrate flushing is going to start next week. that should uh depending on weather and availability as staff should

45
00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:42.000
take us probably all the next part of the following as well for two weeks. So just if you see us flushing in your area of town um be mindful of all laundry and things of that nature just because we can break

46
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:58.720
things loose in the line and possibly get all water in try to flush until you don't see it. If that happens, just run your paws a little bit. And then the end of April, we had our annual lift station checks.

47
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:15.120
Um, I got some pretty rough news. I didn't realize our infrastructure was in kind of as bad shape as it is regarding our lift stations. Um, we have 14 total lift stations. I have four that are in pretty

48
00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:32.799
dire need for more on past borrowed time. Um I do have a couple quotes here and Dean and I have talked a little bit. Um two of the lift stations are in the train that come from out by Alaskan. So they last run they're pretty high flow

49
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:49.200
lift stations. Uh one of them is the one we call lift station two. Uh the problem with that one is it's a older electrical system called a rock adapase. Um our lift station 3 we had a similar system a couple years ago and it failed

50
00:17:49.200 --> 00:18:05.120
and you cannot get an electrician to work on it. Um it's pretty old and we're having starter failures and everything. So we would like to get that switched out similar to what we did with lift station 3 and get VFDs put in, variable frequency drives put in. The bid for

51
00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:21.600
that was a little over $13,000. Um, the next one down the line, and just for reference, in last quarter, we had over 3 million gallons go through that lift station. So, they're pretty high flow. The next one down the line, uh,

52
00:18:21.600 --> 00:18:37.679
right below the tower at Alaskan, at Alaskan Tower. Uh, that lift station has been recommended for rebuild since 2020. And that was the last time either pump has been pulled out of that lift station due to the guide rails in pretty bad

53
00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:54.559
shape. Uh the pumps from what we can tell are seem to be doing good. We have some blowby in the seals uh down in the bottom. So the pumps aren't pumping full efficiency cuz it's recirculating half the water it's pumping. So that lift station I would really

54
00:18:54.559 --> 00:19:10.080
recommend getting rebuilt. That's another about $20,000. Um, behind the shopping center, we have conduit issues where conduit is literally being held up by the wires it's supposed to be supporting in the

55
00:19:10.080 --> 00:19:25.919
lift station. We have electrical wires that are being exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas in there. Um, and that one's getting in pretty bad disrepair. We have one check valve that's stuck open in that one, rendering one pump useless cuz if that pump runs, it just goes through

56
00:19:25.919 --> 00:19:41.760
and comes back into the pit through the other pump. So, we're running that one on one pump right now. That's pretty low flow station. Those only get about a half an hour run time a week. So, if something were to happen, we could get by for a while.

57
00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:56.799
And then another pretty important one is our lift station 7. This is the one in the building on Viking in Dorchester. It collects everything from the water plant and all of Viking Drive and everything. Um, it's more so important because it takes all of our filter backwash water

58
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:14.080
from the water plant. Um, when our scrapers run and clean the sledge overnight, it takes all of that before we start the next day's process. Um, that one both pumps now for the last couple years, they've been changing the oil cuz the oil is getting the seals

59
00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:29.919
have failed in both pumps. So oil's getting in the mo water is getting in the oil as well as in through the top and getting into the electric motors inside. Um me and Dina have talked since I

60
00:20:29.919 --> 00:20:47.440
believe 2021 we've been setting aside water infrastructure fund money $50,000 a year. That was part of our grant that was I think part of what we had to do >> for the grant for the wastewater plant. So we have roughly I think some of it has been used but we have roughly 230

61
00:20:47.440 --> 00:21:04.559
>> hardly any has been used. I think >> yes 3,000. >> So we would have 50 in there now >> to complete these projects. I'm estimating at the most maybe $100,000 but I'm guessing a little less. But we have over 200,000 in that fund. Um and then on top

62
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:21.039
of these four I'd like to get these four taken care of this summer. Um and then we can start looking at our other infrastructure that we have issues that I feel can be budgeted for over the next few years fixed. These four that I have mentioned today I feel are pretty high

63
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:38.000
importance and would like to get addressed this summer. Awesome. So I mean like I said I got I got two of the quotes. I'm waiting on other quotes and with the two pumps that to be pulled out of Viking and Dorchester

64
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:53.600
um until they actually pull the pumps apart, you know, it's um hard to say what that's going to cost, but if we keep waiting, eventually them electric motors are going to blow and we're going to be buying $20,000 for pumps. So, I think it's better and I would

65
00:21:53.600 --> 00:22:08.320
highly recommend liking to get them pulled right away. Usually, Quality Flow, they'll come with two loaner pumps. They'll take our two out, put two loaner pumps in. They usually don't charge us for the loan while they're repairing ours, and then once ours are repaired, they'll bring them back in and

66
00:22:08.320 --> 00:22:23.200
put ours back in for us. Um, so I would recommend that one for sure, but I would highly recommend all of these four. >> They give any kind of a warranty on the rebuilds? Uh, >> I'd have to check into you on that. I don't think so because they're pretty

67
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:40.240
highly used pumps, you know. I think if we want a warranty, it's pretty much buy a new pump. But they do Polyflow does very good work. I mean, >> you don't have to replace anything in the pit itself. It's just the pumps. >> Well, there's submersible pumps.

68
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:54.320
>> What's that? >> They're submersible pumps. >> Yeah, but I mean go down. >> The pit itself is still reusable. It's the mechanical end of it. Well, for now, but that's something that I I think we need to but but for now that lift station's in pretty good shape and can

69
00:22:54.320 --> 00:23:11.039
get by a few years other than those two pumps for that lift station is. So, I guess I'm looking for permission to start moving forward with getting these lift stations repaired before they make

70
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:28.159
us repair them. And the money is >> there's 250 set aside for that and there's 800 in that in the that fund itself and then another there's about 1.4 million in the sewer fund between all the investments and

71
00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:44.240
>> you said it'd be about $100,000 you think for the >> I think it would be less. I'm think I'm estimating high on that but it's going to be pretty close to that. >> You're going to want to schedule these and not let them be schedule us. Well, they're they're pretty tough shape. They're

72
00:23:44.240 --> 00:24:00.159
>> plants. Yeah. Dean toured around with me today and took a look at a few of them and they're in they're getting to be just they're all a lot of them, especially that train from Alaska and there's four lift stations there that were all built over 20 years ago and you know, not much has been done to them.

73
00:24:00.159 --> 00:24:15.039
So, it's kind of where we're sitting. And with 14 lift stations in town, you know, if we keep putting these off, they're just going to keep building problems. And then we're always playing react instead of proactive. So, >> how long do you think it'll take to get them all done?

74
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:31.039
>> Uh, each lift station one day. >> Oh, okay. >> Well, other than pulling the pumps, getting them, but that's, you know, for them to pull the pumps and put loaners in, that's a half a day. >> Would they be redoing the conduit you're talking about? That's

75
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:46.880
in bad shape, too, or >> Yeah, I think that would be pretty minor. I mean, me and Dean looked at that one. That was going to have to be looked at in the future, too. especially that check valve, but that's such a low flow lift station that's not I'm not super worried about it right at the moment. But we could do the at least the

76
00:24:46.880 --> 00:25:03.039
conduit part of it to get the wires secured back and everything. Um, but I think that would be a pretty minimal cost. But that would be one of the things I would like to get done as well, just get some of that conduit redone so gas ain't getting into all our wiring and everything.

77
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:21.120
>> Thing is, the money is there. It behooves us to do it before the situation worsens. >> I agree. >> I got a feeling now that it's on my radar, if we ignore this problem, come about January is when we're going to start having issues. And nobody likes

78
00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:37.320
working on outdoor lift stations in January. >> I think if that's what we have the money set aside for. It's best to maintain everything so the everything keeps working in the city. That's that's our job. So, I would recommend doing them.

79
00:25:39.919 --> 00:25:55.360
>> All right. Well, yeah, thanks for providing that update. Um, >> we need a motion. >> No, it's not on the agenda. Um, >> so if if administratively you can do it, it'll be under funds. >> Um, >> if we need a motion the next council

80
00:25:55.360 --> 00:26:11.840
meeting, but I think just based on what was discussed tonight, I don't think anybody on the council have any issues. It'll take us well take a couple weeks to get some more quotes and get some harder numbers anyway. So, >> we can always bring it back if needed. >> All right. Um well, yeah, thank you.

81
00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:28.799
>> Um moving along to city attorney Lewiki. Anything from you tonight? >> Uh no, nothing tonight, mayor. I can't possibly follow that up. Josh, I had a lot, but no. Hold on. >> Sounds good. Thank you. Uh, moving along

82
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:44.320
to reports from elected officials. Councelor Grahams, >> I don't have anything new to report. I have missed the last couple meetings, but I've reviewed the minutes and I'm here and ready to help conduct business. So, about all I have. >> Sounds good. Glad to have you back. Um,

83
00:26:44.320 --> 00:27:00.320
councelor Jarala, anything from you? >> Um, Jill and I attended the uh East Range Public Safety Board meeting tonight. Did an interview on a potential hire. It looks like they're going to offer him a position. He graduates on Friday and it will depend on his post

84
00:27:00.320 --> 00:27:16.640
test and what else was it? The uh >> background check, drug test, all that. >> Yeah. And got a planning and zoning meeting coming up next week along with a scenic byway meeting tomorrow and that should be interesting,

85
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:32.720
>> right? >> Oh, yeah. That's all I got. >> All right. Busy man. Councelor Ecman, anything from you? Um, it's citywide garage sales this weekend, so there'll probably be a lot of traffic in town finding those deals. Uh, still time to

86
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:49.360
sign up for arts and crafts if you haven't yet. Get those kiddos signed up. And that's about it. All right. Thank you. Councelor Matson isn't here. Uh, only thing from me. So, next week is National EMS week. Uh, so I just wanted to take time to thank and recognize all

87
00:27:49.360 --> 00:28:06.320
of our EMS staff in town, uh, for their dedication to our community, uh, and the time they spend responding to calls, uh, and then the training, too. Um, but related to that, the fire department recently put out an announcement on their Facebook page, um, that they're hiring EMTs and firefighters. Um, so if

88
00:28:06.320 --> 00:28:21.360
you're interested in applying, please do that. Um, applications can be picked up at city hall um, with those positions. they are are they're flexible um and they're paid part-time positions um and they're currently already being filled by people who have full-time and

89
00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:37.440
part-time uh employment elsewhere. So, if you're interested in doing that, please apply. We'd be happy to have you. Um but that is it from me. So, we will move into old business 10.1 uh garbage bag sticker project update. Do you mind

90
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:53.919
providing that Dean? Yeah. So, I worked with Jamie on um East Range Sanitation or Savvi Sanitation. So, we kind of have a plan sketched out and it's been a while since I talked to him, but we we wanted to do like a 3-month trial period where you could buy bags or andor

91
00:28:53.919 --> 00:29:10.880
stickers or of your choice. So, I did reach out and I got some samples from one one company that he recommended out of the three that just basic run between 3 to 5 cents each. Uh, we tested one today and

92
00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:26.480
Brennan, Mayor Scott, could not pull it off the garbage bag very easily. So, it didn't work. Um, I guess the question for you cuz I want to do a full presentation on this is there's different ways we talked about doing this cuz these are, you know, a garbage

93
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:43.840
bag is 35 cents and these are 5 cents. So if you want I could do like pass the savings directly on to the residents or not or some or some portion but um so I'm just looking for a little or I can do multiple scenarios but I'd

94
00:29:43.840 --> 00:30:00.080
like to give a presentation here next meeting or so we want to go down this road still. So there'll be two different stickers. It' be a small obviously tall kitchen and then a 40 gallon. It'll be two different colors. Then we could put

95
00:30:00.080 --> 00:30:16.880
whatever logo we want on there or obviously anybody with a good printer is going to be able to probably make copies or something, but we'll have to try to figure that out. So, yeah. So, that project's still alive. >> So, yeah, I think moving ahead with it, um, like you mentioned, it's a cost

96
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:33.760
saver, but then folks had mentioned, um, issues with the quality of the yellow bag. So, I think this is a good option just with you talking with with Jamie. Um and but yeah, if you want to provide different scenarios with the savings pieces, >> um and just providing those and then we can kind of go from there.

97
00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:47.520
>> And the the other thing I should point out is that so with that the stickers, you'll be able to buy whatever bag you want, you know, a tall kitchen or or whatever, but you can get obviously between the sticker and you buying your own bag. If you buy go to Walmart or something, you're it's going to be a

98
00:30:47.520 --> 00:31:07.120
savings regardless to the residents. Not a big one, but but a savings. >> That's what I have. >> Um, but I also think, yeah, the the trial period would be smart rather than putting all of our eggs in one basket and then the stickers don't end up being good or the quality, whatever. Um, so I think doing it that way is a good idea,

99
00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:23.360
too. Um, but then maybe with the different businesses that sell the bags and then they would be the stickers, maybe providing some sort of like laminated like cheat sheet type of thing >> like at the counter or something. But I'm sure you guys talked about that. Um the roll out we haven't really talked

100
00:31:23.360 --> 00:31:38.640
about yet. That's that's going to take a little um work on city staff and um Jamie's part is is pretty much done, but now we got to figure out how if we're going to roll this out, how we're going to do it, how we're going to communicate to the community and put on the website, you know, Facebook, whatnot, but

101
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:53.600
>> yeah, and obviously, yeah, there'll have to be instructions and whatnot, but I think it'll work. >> Yeah. Um, any other questions for city administrator Wyberg or any comments?

102
00:31:53.600 --> 00:32:09.760
Um, yeah, hearing nothing. Um, yeah, thanks Dean for following up on that and kind of pushing things forward. Um, but we'll just have that asformational. So, we'll move along into uh new business. Uh so 11.1 resolution 202611

103
00:32:09.760 --> 00:32:26.080
uh to accept a donation from the White Lakes Chamber of Commerce uh in the amount of $17,750 uh to be distributed to the following. So 15,000 for the arena/wreck department uh 750 for the library and then 2,000

104
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:42.640
for the garden club. Um so yeah, the resolution in front of us looks similar to the other ones we've gotten when the chamber has uh provided funds to um different departments. Um >> what is that 15,000 to the arena? What

105
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:57.519
is that being used for? >> Um Bucky had approached the chamber on a couple different occasions. One uh last year was about batting cages that he wanted to do over at the midway area. Um and other he mentioned a couple other just things for kids to do or to make

106
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:13.200
that area, you know, uh more user friendly for kids and adults, different things to do over there. And then 10,000 was to be um used for the golf simulator at the arena. I know we were looking at pricing and we were I know I talked with

107
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:28.080
Dean once about if we had a need for a grant, but we also got that money for Wreck from the um First National Bank of Gilbert. So we looks like we don't need to apply for a grant. The chamber was going to match any grant funds, but we don't need a match. So we just went

108
00:33:28.080 --> 00:33:43.600
ahead and earmarked that money for the wreck and for some stuff that Bucky had asked for for the arena. >> Um yeah, I think he's been trying to do his due diligence and finding different ways to bring people to the arena and

109
00:33:43.600 --> 00:34:01.039
make it like a yearround um recreational facility. So um yes, very generous of the um chamber to provide yeah all the funds for all the different um areas. So any other questions or comments for this resolution?

110
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:16.800
Hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to um approve resolution 202611. I'll make a motion. >> I'll second. >> Motion from councelor Ecman, second from councelor Jarala. All those in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion

111
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:33.359
carried. Moving ahead to 11.2, uh, citywide cleanup notice. Um, and this is just for information. Um, so Dean, all these will be posted, it looks like, on the 25th, just letting folks

112
00:34:33.359 --> 00:34:50.440
know when um, so again, yeah, we'll be doing the citywide cleanup um, kind of on this public notice. It lays out which days um you can place um what on uh the curb. So then they'll be picked up.

113
00:34:50.639 --> 00:35:06.240
>> Okay. So the the trailer park/mobile home park isn't a part of it. And driving down there fairly recently, it doesn't look like there's a ton there. So um >> have you have you gone recently?

114
00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:22.480
>> Looks like you got hit by a tornado, >> right? I mean like houses wise. >> No, there's not many. >> There's not many mobile homes in there. >> There's a lot of garbage piled everywhere. >> That's right. >> Throughout. >> Yeah. >> Um >> I don't think he should be allowed to

115
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:39.119
move anything else into there >> until it's cleaned up. >> Until it's cleaned up. >> Um >> he's probably will be in attendance next week at the planning zoning meeting via Zoom actually. >> What's that? The owner is I think we're

116
00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:55.440
going to try to get him on Zoom during the planning and scheduling meeting next week so we can corner him there. >> Yeah. I mean, yeah, I I admit houses, but yeah, driving in there, it's yeah, pretty rough with all of the things in there. So, um yeah, justformational um and that that'll be posted in the usual

117
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:09.760
places. So, these strange times, our website, the arena sign, different places like that. So, just FYI. Um moving along to 11.3. uh Aurora Main Street Market liquor license application for the Hoy Lakes

118
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:26.640
Bowlan Alley. Um so yeah, we have liquor license in front of us application. Um similar to the ones Tammy has gotten before. Um just in talking with her um she had just mentioned that um we're

119
00:36:26.640 --> 00:36:43.200
just kind of waiting on um insurance. So >> we actually have the insurance just needs a phone call from us to actually insurance. >> Okay. Yeah, we've been in contact with Aaron and that's

120
00:36:43.200 --> 00:37:02.079
last week then. >> Yes. Uh we had Brun >> Yeah, >> we had Brunswick um come by last week to do our survey for our lanes and the new equipment coming in. Um so their final

121
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:19.280
number to us was 338,000. We wanted to do more actions for the kids, so we actually got the LEDs to shine on the lanes, so it's all interactive. Um, so with that, it's 10,000 per lane

122
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:35.760
times 8, it's another 80,000. So, we're still in the air about if we're going to do that, but it'd be great for the kids to come in there. Um, another announcement is the IG will be vanilla boxed out and turned into the Hoy Lakes Fun Center. Um, I guess we're kind of

123
00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:51.920
doing the same thing as the arena, just on a bigger level with four golf simulators, five batting cages, uh, axe throwing, and everything else. So, we're in the process of working now. Staff's been over there this whole week, cleaning, tearing everything down.

124
00:37:51.920 --> 00:38:07.839
Unfortunately, a roof leak, a bunch of water leaks, and then, um, I guess Josh went over there and we had an extra pipe. We don't know how to shut it off if it does leak again. So he's going to have to find it somehow. But as for now, that's that's that's our plan. They'll

125
00:38:07.839 --> 00:38:23.839
be here Thursday. Brunswick will be in the building Thursday, all day Thursday. They're saying it will take them between 2 and 1/2 to 3 weeks to complete the project. Um I'd like to deal before Water Carnival. Unfortunately, they said they can't get the equipment and the

126
00:38:23.839 --> 00:38:40.720
manpower here until the 1st of August. So we might have the bar open for the water carnival. and uh you know maybe we can buy some used equipment just to have four lanes from now until August some that's an option for us. So that's that's what we're trying to decide how

127
00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:57.920
we're going to do it. So like we said last year um this this spring is going to be for Hoy Lakes. We're here in White Lakes now. Um, as far as the supermarket goes, it's going to be handed over to the co-op uh the 15th of May and then the co-op

128
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:14.079
can decide when they want to the supermarket. That leaves all our people to come here and finish what we started here in Hoy Lakes and uh finish off. So I I I believe that if we do some sort of child playground and and places where

129
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:31.280
kids to come and seniors to come and sit and have lunch together and with the offspin of the supermarket, you know, you don't have to go to a bar and sit down. You just sit down. The kids have a place to go in the winter, you know, uh indoor playground on the other side of the IG.

130
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:47.520
So it's going to be a big project coming on. I don't know if we can finish this year, but the bowling is definitely by August. They're telling me August 21st, which is 3 weeks into August to have our new lanes, uh, new equipment, new pin setters, new

131
00:39:47.520 --> 00:40:03.040
balls. I mean, pretty much the whole place is going to be refurbished and done. >> So, I'm hoping that this this Go ahead. >> If if I can, you mentioned the co-op. Are you talking range co-op? No, we >> we assign we assigned Aurora Main Street

132
00:40:03.040 --> 00:40:18.720
Market the the the supermarket to a co-op. >> Yeah. And you haven't opened that yet. You said you were going to open it in January and >> No. >> And nothing's I I understand you moved all kinds of gear and everything in there. >> Yeah. So So the market's pretty much done. We just need some stuff push

133
00:40:18.720 --> 00:40:34.079
equipment in place, but now it's assigned back to a co-op, a board. So once we assign the supermarket back to the board, the board will then decide. So it's not our decision anymore. The board will decide >> who is who is the board if I might ask.

134
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:50.400
>> Uh we had an emergency board put together. We do have um our co-op in place already. So we have it. We'll we'll go ahead and provide the information that you need. Um, right now we had Jim Kramer, Norman Jean, Dean Mahheim,

135
00:40:50.400 --> 00:41:06.560
uh, Dwayne Peterson, Nikki Swanson. Sherry was on the board, but unfortunately I'd love to have her if she'd come, but she can't. So, we went ahead and took on um, I believe bunch of names thrown in the hat. We took on the replacement for Sherry was uh Becky

136
00:41:06.560 --> 00:41:22.480
Lambie was the replacement for Sherry for the emergency board to go ahead and get everything voted in our bylaws and and when they want to open how they want to do things. So the board will have to decide. >> So are you still financially involved with the store then?

137
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:38.880
>> We are right now until the store opens. So I will carry the board. We will carry the board until everything's to completion. So, we're we're here until we can hand off a working supermarket to the board, >> but the board needs to be in place.

138
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:54.160
>> Go ahead. >> Going to be sold to that board or is it going to be just >> No, it's going to be sold to the board. >> So, the people on the board will end up being >> they're going they're going to put all the bylaws in place. >> But who who is the money to buy the

139
00:41:54.160 --> 00:42:09.760
store >> coming from? I I guess I I got to admit I'm afraid the same thing could happen down here. What's that? >> Where things are said that it'll open. >> Mhm. >> You know, like you even said, you'll end up opening as a bar before all your stuff gets in. So, we'll have a second

140
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:26.319
bar in town, >> but there'll be no bowling alley there to use. >> Well, no, the bowling alley is um our main priority. The bar is since it's already there, we would like to have it open also. That's why we applied for the the liquor license. um there's no sense

141
00:42:26.319 --> 00:42:43.440
in spending that money and the deposit for um for Bunswood to not have it open. So that those are all private funds for the bowling alley here. So if we're discussing about the roar market, the supermarket is a different thing. White Lakes is a

142
00:42:43.440 --> 00:43:00.960
different thing. So that's how we see it. And then as soon as the board agrees when they want to open, how they want to do their membership, um, you know, they have to adopt all the bylaw stuff. They the the board just the supermarket in Aurora for the co-op

143
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:17.440
here. is just is still private. You know, Hoy Lakes will still be private and uh we hope to bring something to do to Hoy Lakes, you know, in the winter time and everything else. But yeah, as

144
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:33.200
as far as the supermarket goes, that's our plans. Um we put in action back in March. I don't know if you've seen the the store recently. I I'd love to invite any you guys to come in and have a tour

145
00:43:33.200 --> 00:43:48.000
of it and see where we're at in the status where we're at the supermarket. So really just almost ready to hand over to the board. So >> who's putting the money up to buy the place from you then?

146
00:43:48.000 --> 00:44:02.880
>> Uh no there's there's our our money is there. We're going to write a personal note. We're going to finance the board until they succeed. We're hoping that the board can then or the co-op can then go borrow the money somewhere else on a zero interest or hopefully they can go

147
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:22.240
to IT RB get a grant from them. If not, we'll maintain the loan for them or corporation will maintain the loan if they need it. I don't think they will. Um that's why I'm hoping a nice strong board can go get their financing, get their funding,

148
00:44:22.240 --> 00:44:38.079
zero interest, and get it done. So they they'll still keep our business model. They'll still keep the contracts that we already started. And then um for reasons, you know, that we figure this would be the best bet.

149
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:54.720
The community will own the supermarket. Statistically, co-ops last longer, 70 years on average, but private supermarkets only last 20. We we want this supermarket be here for a long time. So, um I'm hoping that with the proper

150
00:44:54.720 --> 00:45:16.800
board and you know price fluctuation and margins are small as you all know I think we can get it all done and with the board that we have. Go ahead. >> This will be strictly privately owned though. >> Yes sir. >> All right. Circling back to the liquor

151
00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:33.480
license application. Um just looking for a motion to uh approve Aurora Main Street Market liquor license application uh for the Hoy Lakes Bowling Alley location just pending proof uh of insurance such as liquor liability and then workman's comp.

152
00:45:33.520 --> 00:45:49.680
>> I just had one question on there. It says the license period is from blank to blank. When what's your start date just >> um we're hoping we're hoping um MMA >> okay >> to the start. So we can do a half year. The clerk here we decided half year, half year and then we'll just do prorate

153
00:45:49.680 --> 00:46:06.640
this year and then we'll start fresh on January. Like I I'm assuming that's how hard does it. So um yeah, we'll go from uh May 1 to December 31st and then January 1 for next year we'll just have to renew. I I'm new at this so I'm

154
00:46:06.640 --> 00:46:23.280
assuming I don't know if we need a meeting to get our renewal on our license or or we just go ahead and renew it. So, I mean, we just turn in a Yeah. >> request to renew your liquor license just like we approved last month for other businesses. Yeah. >> Okay. So, it's every year we need to get

155
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:37.920
approved for liquor license. Okay. Great. Yeah. I'm I'm hoping this bowling alley is be here next I mean the equipment will last another 25 years with new equipment. So, I'm hoping >> the bowling alley will be here for the next 25 years. So, are you going to do food in the

156
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:54.640
bowling alley like restaurant style or you were talking about a deli before? >> Yes, there exact same thing. I spoke with uh I spoke with Norma Jean that's going to hit the board. I we spoke about the deli in Aurora being

157
00:46:54.640 --> 00:47:11.520
dropped off here. So, you guys will still have the deli stuff here, the small deli inside the bowling alley. And we're talking about we're remodeling for a coffee shop in there. just a small one just you know for res coffee and and then um I'm having an uphill fight for

158
00:47:11.520 --> 00:47:26.480
the small supermarket because now the co-op owns it and so I'm having a little struggle to get them to get the small supermarket here but once again that's not my decision anymore. It was my decision. I I have one here, but it's it's now the Main Street Co-op's

159
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:43.280
decision to spin off into a smaller necessary like small amounts of beef, small amount vegetable, small amount of cheeses here. But that's something in the future we can look at. But as of now that the other board doesn't want the the board doesn't feel that it's

160
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:58.079
financially stable for them to the offspring. But the the the deli will be here. Small version of the deli over there. Um I hope Sherry that answers all your questions. I mean I'm I'm hoping to have

161
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:14.079
this for a minute and you know once again we're we had this conversation like almost a year ago that yeah I am going to go to her legs. I will get her legs done and you know here we are. you know, we had some hiccups in Aurora, but

162
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:30.240
you know, those hurdles. Now we're here. We are hoping to be here for the next all summer long to get this running and, you know, get the parking lot painted and the stripes put in, the parking lines put in before the water carnival will uh the buildings all painted.

163
00:48:30.240 --> 00:48:46.240
So, there's there's a lot of work to do here. But first step is we got to have this uh uh the the alcohol license to to get everything running because we can't keep operating on a negative income. >> So, >> well, that was my only question cuz it

164
00:48:46.240 --> 00:49:02.960
just was blank on there. So, um I don't have any other questions. I'd make a motion to approve it. >> I'll second. >> Motion from councelor Graham, second from councelor Ecman. All those in favor. >> Any opposed? >> Nay. >> Uh opposed from councelor Javala. Motion

165
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:19.920
carried. Um, thank you. Moving along to 11.4, farmers market discussion. Uh, so Councelor Ecman and myself um have kind of been talking about potentially doing a farmers market. I think residents have

166
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:34.880
reached out to us about the interest in doing that. just providing um a a place for residents to access fresh produce um >> baked goods sorts of things. Um just like with that

167
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:51.359
market in Aurora still hasn't been opened. I think it was supposed to be opened a while ago, still hasn't. So, we were kind of trying to come up with some sort of game plan um just as a way to get fresh produce here sooner rather than later. Uh, and the most um viable

168
00:49:51.359 --> 00:50:05.920
option that kind of I was thinking of is a a farmers market right now. Um, so is there any thoughts from the council on doing it or not doing it or um I think yeah, councelor Ecman and I

169
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:22.960
would um maybe spearhead it. Um I've already been looking at ways to do it um how other places have done it. Um, I think we'd be open to having community um, input or help with it, maybe some

170
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:38.240
sort of committee, but just kind of in the planning stages right now. Um, >> so would this be a city run like the city of Lakes is hosting a farmers market or just individual? >> That's kind of what I was thinking. Um, I think most places they're usually done through um, either a group or a group of

171
00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:55.040
residents. Um, but we just haven't had that. So, I think it's just something that this city needs to spearhead because we haven't had anybody push to do it or or be willing to to do something like that. So, >> and where do we get like the fresh fruits and vegetables? Do we just contact like how other people sell them

172
00:50:55.040 --> 00:51:11.520
on the side of the road? We just contact some of those. >> There's there's vendors invite them. >> They've got a farmers market down at the uh school >> on Lon Lake. >> Yeah, the town of White does it already. >> One out in Brimson at Hugo's >> every weekend all summer long. starts basically uh

173
00:51:11.520 --> 00:51:27.599
>> Memorial Weekend. When produce isn't out, a lot of the people will come in and sell other things. So, it's >> private vendors coming in. >> Yeah, I know. We've done that. You know, Jill, you've helped organize where people with their baked goods or crafty stuff or whatever. >> And they don't do it at the greenhouse anymore. They did that for years and

174
00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:42.640
then now they don't do that anymore. And I even thought like the kids with the community garden if they wanted to sell some tomatoes or, you know, I think that would be really fun for them to learn that kind of stuff, too. Yeah, I think the city initiating it is

175
00:51:42.640 --> 00:51:58.079
a is a great idea. That way people can have access to that kind of stuff. >> Well, I thought like the new shelter because it's nice down there and we could use it more and bring more people into town. >> Yeah. Um yeah, obviously looking more

176
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:13.200
into the rules and regulations of that. Maybe Joel can throw his two cents in. Not now. I'm sure he's not an expert in farmers markets right now, but he sure can be in the future. I I looked up a little bit of the statute when I saw it on the agenda. Okay. There there's some pretty straightforward stuff. I don't

177
00:52:13.200 --> 00:52:28.880
know if there's county regulations on the sale of privilege part, but I think maybe uh as was mentioned, a good thing would be to talk to some of the other uh already uh operating farmers markets uh to make sure we get all those ducks in a row. >> Yep. Because I know like the people that

178
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:44.160
do baked goods have to have cottage licenses. They have to have them visible and things like that. There's a there's some rules and I think the county does something like with a pot program where people can get tokens. Um Rachel at the greenhouse would she'd probably

179
00:52:44.160 --> 00:53:00.559
know more information about that, but they would come to the green or to the farmers markets and the kids would get a token and they could use it towards the vendors would have things that they could give the kids like fresh fruit rollups that they made or things like that. So there's all kinds of stuff.

180
00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:15.200
>> Yeah. So yeah, I do think that's a good idea. But yeah, if you have interest in maybe helping Jill and I out with that, um, reach out to either one of us or, um, city staff, dean, whoever, and we'll get in touch with you. But, um, yeah, I'll I'll coordinate with with Jill on

181
00:53:15.200 --> 00:53:30.079
that. Just just having two rather than the whole council just so it doesn't become some sort of quorum issue. Um, um, but yeah, if other counselors have input regarding it or questions, just going through through Dean or Tammy or other city staff. So that was just

182
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:46.480
informational. Um so we will move ahead into 11.5 resolution 2026 uh 010 uh Ranger Snowmobile Club Trail Maintenance Grant Sponsorship. Um is this anything that you want to

183
00:53:46.480 --> 00:54:02.559
speak to Roy or >> uh just if you have any questions about what the money's for? >> Okay. >> Actually left over from last year, right? >> Yeah. So, when the money was left over from a $100,000 grant that we had, uh, the city was administrator for it uh,

184
00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:20.400
through the Rangers Club. And instead of taking that money out, putting it back into the DNR fund, the DNR decided it'd be best to just give it right to us as our maintenance fund. And so, in order to do that, we need you guys to be our our fiscal agent for that $13,000 and

185
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:39.040
whatever it was. >> $258.86. >> Yes. So that's the that's the gist of it. And it would just be this one time to use up the remaining fund balance. >> Yeah. If I remember right, last year earlier this year, um you had to use a

186
00:54:39.040 --> 00:54:53.599
specific amount, but it sounds like they just gave it back to you for us. Yes. Yep. It was that same exact money and we they decided they weren't going to give it to us and now they realize that it's better to just give it to us rather than put it back into the fund balance.

187
00:54:53.599 --> 00:55:08.720
>> Right. So, yeah, we're getting the money after all. >> Nice. Well, yeah, I'm glad that you guys can use that. Know you'll put it to to good use. >> Yes. And FYI, that about 13,000 will be used on trails right around town here >> cuz there's there's another half of it

188
00:55:08.720 --> 00:55:25.440
that's going to St. Louis County as our sponsor. So, they'll be the agent on that part of it. >> Sounds good. >> So, >> all right. Well, thank you, Roy. Is there any other questions for Mr. Borard? >> No, we've done this a couple other times. It all works fine. So I see no

189
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:41.440
issue. >> All right. Uh with no other questions, I will ask for a motion to approve resolution 2026 010. Motion from councelor Jar. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Second from councelor Grahams. All those in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed hearing? None. Motion

190
00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:57.839
carried. Moving along to 11.6 resolution 2026009 support for the St. Louis County Aurora Railroad crossing overpass. Um, is there anything for us, Dean, on your end? >> Uh, no. There's nothing for us. It's the

191
00:55:57.839 --> 00:56:12.720
same one that uh you approved last year. They're just they didn't get the funds last year. Now they're trying to get the funds again this year, >> right? >> Put that bridge in Aurora. >> Um, so yeah, like I had mentioned last

192
00:56:12.720 --> 00:56:29.280
time, this isn't approving the bridge or whatever. I think people have their opinions on whether it's needed or not. Um but this is just allowing them to access um grant money. So this is us just supporting um allowing them to get

193
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:46.240
funds. So I think um allowing them to access additional funding would be nice for yeah St. Louis County and then uh I think they're working with Aurora on the project. Um and then again like us supporting their projects. It helps

194
00:56:46.240 --> 00:57:02.640
with them supporting our projects in the future. But again, this isn't um saying they should build it or not. Um sounds like that's already in the plans of getting it done. It's just a matter of um allowing them to access some additional funding. And I think being

195
00:57:02.640 --> 00:57:22.160
able to go to outside places, not just um within the county and use county dollars to do it. I think using I would assume this is probably state or federal funding to to get it done would be nice. Uh, any comments or questions regarding

196
00:57:22.160 --> 00:57:37.680
this resolution? Like we talked about last time, it sounded like we'd approved it. Um, they just weren't able to to get those funds last year, it sounds like. So, >> I'd make the motion to approve the funding application. >> Sounds good. Motion from councelor

197
00:57:37.680 --> 00:57:55.440
Grahams. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Second from councelor Ecman. All those in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Nay. one nay from councelor Jarala. Uh motion carries. Um moving along to 11.7

198
00:57:55.440 --> 00:58:12.319
um lease for lawful gambling um and premises permit application. Um so it looks like the Ranger Snowmobile ATV club is going to be doing um are you folks doing bingo or >> pull tabs?

199
00:58:12.319 --> 00:58:28.799
>> Pull tabs. Um, yeah, they wanted to do a couple pull tab boxes, possibly E tabs and a few bingo sessions this summer. >> Oh, okay. So, just looking at maybe, yeah, doing some pull tabs and other things out there. Um, so yeah, again, these look like typical um applications

200
00:58:28.799 --> 00:58:44.480
we've get or have gotten in the past. Um, Ranger Mobile ATV Club has added various ones in in the past. Oh, barbingo, pull tabs, electric pull. Okay, sounds good. Um, any other questions or comments for this

201
00:58:44.480 --> 00:59:00.720
application? Hearing >> how does this work since like the city owns the building and everything like that? Is there >> any sort of rules or >> I was going to ask Joel that later, but I don't So, we lease out the golf

202
00:59:00.720 --> 00:59:15.760
course, right? >> Okay. >> And they want to put charitable gambling in there. Is there any concerns? >> I don't know. No idea. >> Okay. >> I mean, there is the question that says, "Does your organization, the ATV club

203
00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:31.440
own the building, and it says no." So, the lease is in the, you know, Jenna's name for the golf course. I don't know if you're thinking that that should be in the city's name or not, but >> Well, that's what I'm kind of wondering like as we own the building.

204
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:48.240
>> The lesser see the leaser. >> Yeah. the least premises is the broken putter lounge, which is a separate, you know, the bar is separate than the golf course, >> right? >> Um, so yeah, I don't I've last time I filled out a lease for gambling was, you know, like 20ome years

205
00:59:48.240 --> 01:00:04.160
ago, so I don't recall all the rules cuz the chamber does it, but it's a private entity who owns the establishment. I don't know if there's a different rule about if a city owns the actual brick and mortar building cuz it is Jenna's lounge. you know, she

206
01:00:04.160 --> 01:00:21.200
gets the liquor license and but yeah, might be something to look into. But I've never heard of any different rules for that as long as you check that box that says no you that you guys don't own it. >> If if you want to approve it tonight

207
01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:38.400
contingent on my review, I can get that to you tomorrow. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Um yeah, good to to bring that up, Jill. Don't want to do something we shouldn't. Um yeah. Is there any other comments or questions? Good question.

208
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:54.400
Um hearing none, I'll ask for a motion to approve the um application just pending um city attorney Luicki's um findings or suggestions. >> I'll make that motion. >> Motion from councelor Javea. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Second from councelor Ecman. All those in favor?

209
01:00:54.400 --> 01:01:10.799
>> I. Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion carried. Uh and then that is it for our agenda. So we'll move ahead to adjournment. Is there a motion for that? >> I'll make a motion. >> Motion from councelor Ecman, second from councelor Jarvala. All those in favor.

210
01:01:10.799 --> 01:01:16.000
>> Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion carried. Thank you.
