Okay. For announcements, we have Committee of the Whole, Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Uh we have the planning commission meeting, Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 at 6 p.m. Uh city council meeting
Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 at 7 p.m. Park and Recreation Board meeting, Tuesday, April 28, 2026 at 6 PM. And hopefully we have some county communications
during one of those meetings at probably at the cow meeting. It wasn't really put in the order it should be on here. Uh any council committee reports? >> All right. Hearing none, we'll move on to Jay. Um I I do have a committee
report. I was saying about if if we had a meeting after it and I don't think we have but the report on the fireboard last time or >> which one >> fireboard did I report on that one last time or is that >> that was the day before that was the day after our last meeting. So yeah we we
had a fireboard meeting um looking at getting a a pumper tanker. uh the the verbiage on that seems to go back and forth depending upon who you talk to. But long-term uh thing they're looking for getting but high cost. So early work is trying to figure out whether there's
a a unit that's ready to be get that we could find from a different department or building one up getting a truck and then putting a a cab on top of that and outfitting it. So something to think about.
I know Al's going to give us an update tonight, so we might hear some more about that. Um, okay. Moving on to a public hearing. Are you going to open this up, Josie? >> Stephanie,
you will open up the um the hearing after Stephanie does a presentation. Okay. Okay, good evening, Mayor Prom and Council. Um, it's time for our MS4 annual report. I'm going to carry this
on for about two hours, so just relax. Um, okay. The MS4 program is the municipal separate storm sewer system. That's what MS4 stands for. developed as part of the 1972 Clean Water Act and the
MPCA, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, initiated it in 2007. And the city of Isani has been an MS4 city since 2016. Um the requirements are generally that once you hit 5,000 and you're a
city and on a um a important body of water like the Rome River, then you are become an MS4 city. Um and so this permit gives us author authorization to discharge into the Rum River with our storm water. And so the permit was
reauthorized um to the state of Minnesota from the federal government in 2021 and new best management practices were implemented in 2022. Um and the city of Iani was also audited in 2022, which is
just the process they go through every few years. We were just recently notified that we'll likely be audited again coming in the next year. Very excited about that. Um and so it leads to the updating of many procedures and
increased documentation usually. Um in 2023 they started implementing a new system that's supposed to be digital and we haven't submitted a report since 2022 since we were audited. So we have a lot of backlog to report on in the next year
and we've been tracking it as if we were reporting every year but we haven't done a report yet. So just an FYI we expect a lot of work ahead of us. Um but we implement these practices through regulatory mechanisms, education and
outreach environmental protection and weekly construction site or more depending on rain inches or snowfall um for inspections of those sites. with our help from our engineer. Um,
for 2025, the annual report is due um, sorry, it says June 30th, 2025. It should say 2026. Um, so it will be submitted in June of this year for 2025 to report on last year. And so that's what this is
about. It's about the 2025 year. Um, we had four elicit discharges reported in 2025. I know I updated these to say the right numbers actually after they were in here. So, I'm sorry that it's not correct. Um, 2025.
Um, and two, yes, two were for leaves and one was for a sump pump discharging into the street. Um, and one was for an unidentified substance leaking from a barrel. And so all of those were reported. Um, specifically
the barrel substance was reported to a duty officer and the state of Minnesota came in and took care of that violation. But we did have other enforcement actions which required us to send out 66 violation letters, mostly regarding new construction projects for having too much dirt in the street, which is very
common in a city that has a lot of new housing going on. So we implemented outreach and education. So students um we reach out to them through the eighth grade career fair um and present to them on storm
water as well as um try to give them information about our other utilities as well. Um and then fifth grade water day we get to go in the park and just talk a lot about storm water and we partner with the city of Cambridge to do a nice presentation for them. Um, elicit
discharge education we provided for all staff in the fall of 2025, including updated cards for all vehicles with QR codes for reporting any illicit discharges to the community development department who then we um move forward from there um with the necessary steps.
calling the duty officer for spills or other things um like tracking it, sending violation letters or um immediate followup. Generally, they need to have it cleaned up within 24 to 48 hours depending on
what kind of of discharge it is. um through the public. I we um post in theian information as well as through Facebook posts and we have the ability to report um the public has the ability to report on their website
complaint form if they see any um as well. That is about it. If you have any questions, I'm happy to take them. Otherwise, you can open the public hearing to see if anybody has any other comments.
If refractions are taken care of right away, are they still reported and recorded? >> Yep. Um, if they're we have to record every infraction. So, we actually have a database that we have a spreadsheet of that we keep track of every single discharge and they get a letter. Um,
even if they clean it up before that time so that we can track it, we have to we have to track it that way. That's what the violation letters are for. But it can go into there. It's very um well outlined through state statute requirements of what the next steps are.
Luckily, we have pretty good um compliance once they get a violation letter. People are street sweeping or doing stuff immediately as required. They know >> they receive a a violation, are they also fined or if they comply within a certain amount of time or is there some
grace there? >> Yep. There's grace. So, they're not fined immediately. they get the violation letter and they have so many hours depending on what the discharge is. Um and then we follow the other
according to fines and you guys would be aware if there were anybody. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. Any other questions from council? Thanks a lot Stephanie for that presentation. and we'll open this up for a public hearing if anybody has anything they'd
like to talk about. Okay, hearing none, we'll close the public meeting, the public hearing. Um, a motion to approve report as presented. >> Second. Okay, we have a motion to approve the
report by council member Lundine, a second by council member Peterson. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose, same sign. Motion approved. Four nothing. >> I just want to clarify something for Nick.
99.999% of the cities have the same issue with street cleaning on new construction. They have gone as far as if the contractor isn't doing it or keeping their their containment sock in place,
they will halt all inspections until it's brought up to snuff. And some contractors get fined. But it's it in the last few years, it's I've seen them get out there and the they are out there with the
paddle wheels, brooms, sweeping, scraping the mud off the street. A lot of cities are very intentive about keeping those streets cleaned. So you get a subcontractor drive their vehicle in there, they back out of the driveway and it's all full of mud,
that is a potential for a violation. So, like if that happens and it just happens to be where someone drives by five minutes after and they're going to clean it up, but they would report that even though it's just happened and it's unavoidable, >> they could. >> Okay. >> But by the time they report it, they
probably got it clean before the city gets there. So, the city's like, "Oh, that's not an issue." >> Right. So, but it it's it's more so when you get a lot of trucks in and out, they leave they track a lot of money. >> But report wise, it would still show up as a statistic even though it was handled.
>> It shows up as statistic, but it's it's a very minor blurp because it's just somebody pulled in, backed out, left, and didn't even think of it. That's what happens. Okay.
Any more discussion? All right. Moving on to business items K1 uh 2025 I Sandy Fire District annual report. You're on Al. All right. Thank you. For those who are uh
here maybe watching that don't know me, my name is Al Jenovich. I am the fire chief for the icei fire district and I have prepared the same annual report for you all this year that I have in years past. So if you've seen this in the past, it is uh the same format, same
data, uh new pictures, new numbers. So, uh, timewise, my apologies that it's April and we're just looking at a 2025 annual report, but it takes a while for us to get our audits complete, uh, and get everything assembled so that we can have it ready for you all. So, we'll
jump right in. I'd like to talk about the pictures a little bit, too, rather than just bury you all in all the data. Uh, the first picture is a fun one for me. What we did at this training at the rodeo grounds is we recreated a car accident that we really had in 2025.
Uh a few months before this, this was a a scene we were at uh out in Bradford Township on the side of County Road 5. And it was a little abnormal as you can see. Not often we see cars on their driver's door with the occupant pinned. It made us think a little bit. So we
thought what a great opportunity to do some training on that exact scenario. So, we found a a used car lot that donated us some some cars and we had a excavating contractor come by with his heavy equipment and build us the scenario and and this is our Tuesday
night drill uh to uh practice on that scenario that we had. So, good training. First page, if you have a book, if you don't have one and you want one, there's a stack of them there. You can grab one on your way out if you so desire. This is our roster as of 12:31 2025. Uh so
that is all of our paid on call firefighters as well as myself whose career uh included in that report is our years of service total years of service which is worth noting. Some people question the zeros uh and those are
those who do not have one total year of service yet. So uh if I had 27 years in 11 months uh it would report as 27 years. So on this report total years of service 185. If you average up all those
years of service we have a sevenyear average years of service. So run volume is uh page two. In total we responded to 461 calls in 2025. You see on the side there in the city which is our biggest
piece of pie. We had 170 runs in the city of Icani. The line graph below it is a 10-year history. Uh you see we had it up as high as 1,246
runs in 2022 and last year's 461 is a is a decline. The next uh few pages is our entire uh call type report. So, of all of the 461 runs we went on, uh what uh types
are they? Some people don't realize that the fire department goes to more than just fires. Uh and we break it down by what type of fires our fire calls are even. So, you can see in entirety we had
59 fire calls which categorizes well or it's 12.8% of our total call volume. So, if you wanted to read into that report a little bit more, that's how those numbers uh display on that report. You see the bottom picture on page four is
uh not all, but a good majority of our volunteers helping us out at our nonprofit rodeo that we host every year. This year is our 50th, so we're very proud of that. And without all of these
individuals and and people like those that we've had volunteering their time with us over the last 49 years, we definitely would not be here. So, we owe this uh largely to our volunteers. 2025 training. I went through our
rosters and assembled a list of all the different trainings we do. So, like I alluded to on the front page, uh, Tuesday night training, we have trainings once a month at a minimum, uh, just to keep our skills up. We also have outside training events where we
will travel to other fire departments or colleges or, uh, trade schools, we might call them, to obtain some uh, out ofstation training. We also have uh, new hire training that is mixed in there. So, our new hires went through uh NFPA
certified classes to become competent firefighters and uh emergency medical responders. So, that's a complete list of everybody's training in 2025. Public relations, education, uh these are all of our planned events
where people invite us to attend their uh activities. uh national night out for example or uh touch a truck event at a church or Halloween. You see we went to four different Halloween events there. The
picture on the bottom is is one of our bigger larger scale uh PR events. It's at the county fair where that is our display that we set up and we staff that uh for the entire fair Monday through Sunday.
We have a jump house that was donated by the rodeo association. We set up a couple tents uh where we work on recruitment and we display our old parade truck. The next page is our service area. Uh they these are the sections of township
uh property and the city of Iani obviously is in the middle there uh that we service. So inside the yellow line is our service area. In total, it's 157 square miles. You see on the report there, it shows 6,55
households and an estimated population is 17,523. So this is current as of the 2025 year end county assessors report. So uh they
do uh edit this report for us every year to reflect the current valuation. So each section of land in those townships and the entire city limits has a valuation behind it according to the
county assessor which goes into our budget sharing formula at the end of the year. Uh so that is an important uh number for us to maintain. Uh so I report on it. I think it's interesting. Financials. This is uh as of December
31st, 2025. You see our 2025 budget was $779,50. Uh we had some grant income. We received some donations. We not only had cash donations, but we had goods donations. So, if somebody gives us, for example,
Rem River Outdoor Foundation uh provided us bought us a new drop tank for one of our fire engines, $2,580.66. It's a donation, but it didn't we didn't receive that as cash. So, we report on
that a little bit differently. One adjustment that I need to make uh on that goods donation. We forgot to report on a rodeo association donation of $7,071. The rodeo association bought us a new
commercial oven. Not new. I said new. It's a used. It's new to us. Commercial oven. They they won it at a KBID auction. Uh it's for upstairs at our station 3 out in Athens Township. Uh
they purchased the uh oven and the fireboard uh approved the donation of it. So uh we have uh commercial oven up there now. And that brings our goods donation for the year to a total of
$24,278.95. Again, that oven was $7,071. On the bottom of that report, you see that we have uh those different bank accounts. Those are just off the statements. The ending year end
the pictures there. Uh those are from our auto education. The same training that we had on the front page. Uh the top one is kind of a funny one where I told them to line up for a picture and they jumped in the car that they had cut the roof off of. Uh and then the bottom one is just our group, a group picture.
You see we got rescue Randy in the middle there held up which is just a mannequin and he was our our subject that was in the car that was trapped. So all is well. He's okay. Capital assets. This is all of the uh equipment and the
buildings that our fire district owns. Uh pretty thorough list uh from our new trucks down to our trailers. Tech rescue trailer. We have some equipment, trailers, etc. And then you can see the different stations that they are at.
Next uh part of the report, we zoom in on a city of Isani in uh specific. So of our 170 runs that we went on in Iani, you see that we went on 14 fire calls. If you wanted to know what kind of fire
calls, well, three of them were building fires. Looks like we had one vehicle fire. etc. I think you can figure out the rest from there. The pictures you see there are from the two buildings that are on fire are
training burns. We were provided two uh residential structures, one in Bradford Township, one in Athens. Uh they were donated to the fire district to use for training. So, uh, we had, uh, a lot of Tuesday night trainings. Instead of just
having one per month for a few months, we had one every Tuesday night at those buildings. We did search and rescue. Uh, we played some games where we uh, simulated fire with those orange cones. You can see the guys uh, spraying water
in the window. We did some timed events between different groups, between different stations to make it a little more of a challenge to hustle through there and and spray the cone. Uh we did some great ladder ops. You see the roof is steep and it's high so it's a bit of
a challenge which uh keeps us comfortable on ladders and and everything that goes with that. So awesome training. Uh it's a service that uh we're honored honestly to provide to those people that have those old houses.
Uh we can't burn down any structure. It has to be a legitimate uh solid house. People often want us to burn down a barn or a or an out building, a garage, a detached garage. That's not legal for the DNR and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. You see the smoke that's
going in the sky there? They don't allow that smoke to go in the sky just to demo a building. It has to have training value. And if the house is rotten and soggy and and we can go in at once and then the fire gets away from us, uh, that's not effective. So, the house has
got to be solid enough that we can go in and light it on fire, put it out with a team, come out, reset it, put more straw, more pallets in it, light it on fire, send a new team in. We'll do that 12 to 15 times per house uh until it's
deemed unsafe. The house starts to get soft and maybe the roof is going to fall in and we'll pull back and we let it go. So, this is the burndown phase that you see the picture. It makes the best picture. So, that's usually what I share. Next page, this these are a couple of uh
new trucks we built. I needed to add a page to the report so you get to see our new trucks. Uh we bought a new rescue truck in the city here and then our substation out in Spencer Brookke. Uh we bought that bottom truck. We bought it as a cabin chassis. Uh we had a Larsson
implement uh put the flatbed on it and then we bought the slide in unit for grass fires and had another guy put a light bar on it. So we didn't to save money uh we try to outsource all of these little projects oursel. We did the same with the rescue one. We just bought
a state bed truck and then had it all put together ourselves. Uh that way we get them exactly how we're used to them, which consistency is good when you have several different uh grass fire trucks. So, uh we also
save some money. So, that's fun to share. The last page here is our 2026 budget contribution. So, the whole report's 2025, but this is uh this year. You see the budget that the fire board approved is $84,750.
The city's portion of that $800,000 is going to be $31,781.20. So that number there is what the city of Iani uh pays for fire and rescue for 2026. Uh I bill the city once a quarter. So
you'll see there my quarterly bills are going to equal $75,440. Uh and then part of my reporting to the fire board is just to show them the different percentages of the different entities. Uh if you don't know, there's seven different entities that own the fire district, the city and six
townships. So we share that budget. So I like to show them how much each entity pays towards that budget. uh in the city's contribution is 37% of our overall budget and if you look at the runs which is one of the figures in our
formula to calculate that budget contribution uh the runs that we responded to last year are 37% of our overall runs. So of our total runs 37% of them were in the city. Couple of pictures. That's firefighter Schmidy,
uh, Philip Schmidt and his son Teddy. Uh, he had the truck home for a duty crew shipped and looks like they took some pictures and shared them with me. And then the bottom picture is a actually he's a city of Iani residents, Rick Celich. Uh, the picture is his
receiving a participation award. Uh, Rick is also our engineer and he has received this award several years in a row. Uh, which is uh, very honorable uh overall participation.
I add I track and I add up every firefighter's uh attendance, not only at runs, but at trainings and meetings and PR events and duty crew shifts that they take. And I add them all up and I total them and then I sort them by highest to
lowest. And this guy Rick, uh he has been at the top of the list for quite a few years. So I like to brag about him. He has uh six kids uh besides a wife in the city of Iani, besides his obligation to the fire department and working
full-time for Mandot. So he has a very full plate and he puts the fire department at a high priority on there. So honored to have team and that is it. If anybody has any questions, I'd be
happy to answer them or take a stab at them or take some notes and get back to you. But that is our 2025 annual report. >> Council, have any questions? >> Thank you, Chief. >> It's a good report.
Okay, we don't have to approve that. >> No approve action required. >> All right, we're going to move on to business item two, notice of declared nuisance tree removal request to appeal from property owners. Do we have any
property owners here that would like to talk tonight? Mayor Prom and Council, we did not receive any written notification um for anyone who wanted to peel the letter that they received um from the public services director. We did leave this on as a placeholder just in case someone
didn't have the time to submit that in writing that they could show up this evening. And doesn't look like we have anyone and we weren't contacted by anyone either. >> Just just a side note on that. If if somebody So we haven't had any calls. You haven't had anybody ask you for a little extra time to to get a tree down
or >> uh I've had lots of calls actually, but um uh I can hand out this I did prepare for you guys. It's uh get mine actually out of the 27 trees, we only have five
left that haven't made arrangements with me. >> Okay. >> So, >> well, great. that that's a good percentage. If to the best of my knowledge when I I looked up the DNR rules on this and state statute, there really isn't any
state statute. If if I'm hoping that if you have any problems that we might be able to extend a little bit of time if needed, it doesn't look like there's any actual laws on the books, but the problem is is the spread. So when they
cut the tree down, they get it to where it needs to be disposed, you don't want to be spreading the bugs from point A to point B is is my understanding and that's why there's a timeline on it. But if the weather stays a little cold, I just thought I'd keep that in mind for you that >> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> We also um were if they were willing to treat their trees, we were giving them a put them on like a monitoring list to try to treat them as well. >> Sure. >> Josh, what have people said when they call in?
a lot of mixed motions. You know, some uh a lot of them think they're our tree. Um I read them the the code or policies and uh yeah. Um I think the price that we gave them to take them down is
reasonable, but I'd say most of them are handling them either themselves or finding another person. We have a list of One, two, three, four. Four property owners, but there some of them have more than one tree on their
property that they want the city to move forward with removing. >> Okay. >> Okay. We'll uh move on to business item three. First, I'd like to thank everybody for stepping up and wanting to serve the community and putting their
name in the hat for the park and recreation. Um, this is for the appointment of the vacant seat on the park and recreation board. We have four people. Melissa Williams, Josh Donner, Katie >> Yi,
>> thank you. And Theodore Canudson. Um, I think we'll do these in order. They are on my list here. So, Melissa Williams, are you here? Come on up. against the rules to read a little bit
from some notes that I >> Okay, >> all right over here. >> And and to be clear, you can read right from your notes if >> Perfect. >> Um, hi, my name is Melissa Williams. I grew up here in Ecanti. One of my first
jobs uh when I was 14 was actually at Hardware Hank just up the street. So, um was very integrated in the community. Uh I graduated from Cambridge Icani High School. My first um and I served over 13 years in the Army Reserve. So uh
enlisted when I was 17. I served at the the base over here in uh Cambridge a little bit. And um I also went and I did my undergrad at UMD and I got an MBA through the University of Phoenix um
online. I moved to Texas in 2015 and I just moved back this past June. So, for the last 10 years, I've been in Texas doing real estate, um, helping families buy and sell and all that good stuff. Um, so just very invested in families and everything that's available to the
community. Uh, professionally, I've just uh I help those people with their their life decisions and it's really strengthened my ability to listen, problem solve, and communicate with all different types of people. Um, and I I
think that the council should consider me for the board position because I bring a mix of community experience, um, perspective, businessminded thinking, and a genuine desire to help our parks be more functional to accommodate, uh,
all walks of life. And when I was sitting back there, I looked up here and I saw a community for generations. And that sat with me. Um, I just thought, you know, from growing up here, from being a little girl to coming back here now at my older age and really just
realizing how much has taken place here over these years and I I couldn't be prouder to come back to be honest with you. >> So, that's the first question. I didn't even let you get to it, so I guess I'm a little bit nervous and
whatnot. So the first question was tell us about yourself and why the council should consider you for the park and recreation seat. And thank you that was a great introduction. Um question number two is do you have experience being a park and
recreation board member or similar experience that would help you in this role? I do not I don't have experience with parks and rec. When I was um in high school, I was selected to be part of the community ed um like student
representative on their board. I think when I was about a junior. So I spent some time just representing you know the student perspective on that board. And then as well as being in the military I've been on the leadership panels with their monthly meetings doing our long
range planning because we do sixyear like deployment cycles for our and things like that. So, we have to plan trainings and all of the good stuff that comes along with, you know, being part of a reserve unit. I've been part of a medical unit as well as a hazmat unit. And so,
there's a lot of really intensive training and planning that goes along with that. Um, and I've been I I left as a a staff sergeant, NCO, and so just very involved with upper management, leadership, chain command, and the
military for that. Okay. Thank you. So, what what do you feel is the most important role and purpose of the park and recreation board in our community? I think being the voice really between the community um kind of being the boots
on the ground seeing what what's needed um as far as even just visiting all the parks and you know keeping up on the maintenance and organizing groups to get things done. Being the voice between the community
and the the board or excuse me the city council to kind of move things along and things happen. >> All right. Very good. What do you believe are the top priorities for the city's current park system? >> Um, I'm going to go to my notes for this
one. >> So, I think that the most excuse me, sorry. I have maintenance, improving community interest and involvement in making sure things are accessible for all ages and abilities as well as planning for growth
because I mean we all know IC is growing. There's a lot of new development um happening here and I don't I don't think that's going to cease. You know, we're we're the northern community and there's a lot of people wanting to come north for exactly what we have.
>> All right. Thanks. Do you have any experience in long range planning? Please explain. >> I guess the long range planning would mostly be related to either helping families plan for real estate investment um going on in various communities to
help them decide if that's a good fit for them as well as uh the military stuff that I kind of went in depth in a little while earlier with you know fiscal year planning and then like the six year rotational planning and things like that.
>> Very good. The park and recreation board reviews and makes recommendations on all on the overall planning management and policies of our park system to the city council. How do you plan to tie that into the overall goals of the city council?
>> Well, once I'm fully up to speed and really understand, you know, what's transpired here lately and what the vision of the city council is, um, you know, just kind of understanding that long-term vision, making recommendations that support the broader community
growth and budget obviously, um, and focus on solutions that are not only impactful but also realistic. Um, and I just I see the board's role as not just generating ideas, but helping bring forward wellthoughtout actionable
recommendations that support the city's overall direction. >> Very good. If you could bring a new or enhanced feature, event or service to our park system, what would that be?
So, one of the things when I back in Texas, I lived in this city's 80,000 people. Obviously, they have a bigger budget to do this, but it's called Color Palooa and it's this huge spring event. So, it's mostly focused around arts,
crafts, families, little kids. Um, but kind of what it is is these businesses will take sorry, they'll have their own uh booths and they'll create a little kid-friendly craft, painting or uh paperiermâché,
origami, something of those sorts. Um, rather low cost for the businesses, but they create a booth so they can kind of promote themselves and talk the parents. Um, but it's kid focused, free, and lots of colorful balloons. Sometimes they
decorate trees, sometimes there's bounce houses, like all the things. If I can show you all about it, but every spring it's like something my family just looks forward to doing. We have cultural dances and I guess
as far as you wanted, honestly, but it's a huge celebration of spring and especially with the long winters here. Just something that >> Okay. The park and rec, excuse me, the park and recreation board typically meets the fourth Tuesday of every month
at 6 PM. Does this fit in with your other time commitments? >> Great. I'm available. Yes. >> Great. Is there anything else you would like to add to assist us in considering you as a park board candidate?
>> Sure. Um, I I came on a little strong, so apologize for that. Um, really I just overall I I'm integrated with a lot of families. I work with families. Um, I'm kind of an outdoor person and I'm passionate just about making like
good spaces usable for community members where we could be proud of where our tax dollars are going and I would love to be part of that. >> Thank you. Do any of you have any questions for her? And if you ask her if you ask her a
question, we have to ask all candidates. >> I do not. >> Okay. Hearing none. Thanks. Thanks a lot. >> Thank you >> for your interview. >> You probably should. >> Okay. Next up on the list, we have Josh
Donner. Good evening, Josh. Um, first question, tell us about yourself and why the council should consider you for the park and recreation board seat. >> Oh, I lived here my whole life.
I have a construction company and I own a few rental properties. Nice to give back. niece and we use quite often and I know how to get things done and I'm ready to put that.
>> Thank you. Do you have experience being a park and recreation board member or similar experience that would help you in this role? >> Yes, since I own and operate my Fix problems. Very good. What do you feel is the most
important role and purpose of the park and recreation board in our community? >> Making sure. Thank you. What do you believe are the top priorities for the city's current park system?
>> I think fixing aging equipment. >> Thank you. Do you have any experience in long range planning? Please explain. in the construction. I'm always aheading. >> Very good. The park and recreation board
reviews and makes recommendations on the overall planning, management, and policies of our park system to the city council. How do you plan to tie that into the overall goals of the city council? >> Better parks mean a better community.
People are healthier and happier. Very good. Do you if if you could bring a new or enhanced feature, event or service to our park system, what would that be? >> Some more activities
to get people to the parks. Maybe outdoor fitness organiz. The park and recreation board typically meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. Does this fit in with your other time commitments?
>> Yeah. >> Very good. Is there anything else you'd like to add to assist us in considering you as a park board candidate? >> No, that's it. >> All right. Thank you. >> Appreciate you coming in. >> Okay. Next on the list,
Katie. Is Katie here? Okay. Well, then we'll move on to Theodore Kudson. >> Hello. >> Good evening. >> All right. First question. Tell us about
yourself and why the council should consider you for the park and recreation board seat. >> Um, well, I worked in the financial industry for 10 years. researching customer concerns and responding in letter form uh with
conclusions based on company policy and federal state laws and regulations. I'm a father of four children ages ranging from 20 to 8 months. Um, I believe I am a great candidate for the for the parks
and w position based on my professional background in research, uh, ability to find clever solutions and people skills both with co-workers and with customers. Um, additionally, having a family with
young children uh brings a responsibility to making uh the best recommendations for the future of our city. >> Very good. Do you have experience being a park and recreation board member or
similar experience that would help you in this role? >> Uh, yes. along with my um customer service customer service experience. Currently I'm on the planning commission board as you all know and also a vice chair for
my precinct here in county for the Republican. Uh both of these have given me experience in boardroom settings um discussing asking the right questions
and voting on decisions that impact our community. >> Very good. What do you feel is the most important role and the purpose of the park and recreation board in our community? Uh in my opinion, I feel the
most uh important role is to make responsible recommendations um based on uh for maintenance and development of current and future amenities um of our great city. Uh these decisions
should be made based on uh prospects of utilization um revenue generation for our small businesses and cost to our taxpayers. Um so what I mean by uh the revenue
generation would be uh bringing in things that will bring people from other areas that will frequent our businesses and that will our tax base which would also bring money into the community.
>> Very good. Do you have experience in long range planning? Please explain. >> Uh yeah. So, I've had many jobs uh with where long range planning actually comes into play. I used to be a truck driver.
So, I'd have to plan out my route every day, make sure that I utilize my time the most efficiently, make sure that I got home, you know, without the lights being out already. Um, also with my financial uh job, that also took
planning with my case loads I would have to take and make sure that I prioritize the uh specific cases that were due first or specific processes that I'd have to go through in order to get the answers that I needed to write the
letters in a timely manner and also being a father is all about long-term planning because no matter what you got to make sure that you get to those events and you know uh keep kids learning uh keep them growing as
into really good adults. >> Thank you. The park and recreation board reviews and makes recommendations on overall planning, management policies of our park system to the city council. How do you plan to tie that into the overall
goals of the city council? Um I would say making plan u like it that actually I kind of answered it in the first question. Um making responsible recommendations uh based on facts such as budget that we
have uh utilization. We don't want to start bringing in a bunch of amenities that people aren't going to actually use that we're just spending tax dollars. You know you see some of these cities they have those exercise equipment out on the walking path. It's like you never
see anybody on them, you know, but they spent a lot of money on building those, right? Um, so just being responsible uh with the recommendations that we give um and also based on popularity
uh and cost and benefits and safety. >> Thank you. If you could bring a new or enhanced feature, event or service to our park system, what would that be? So, I would uh I would uh find if we had the space for it, I' I'd say frisbee golf.
Frisbee golf is a great um activity that people go to. Very low cost, very low maintenance. Um a lot of people like to donate their time to uh like construction companies and things like that like to donate their time and hey, put my name out there. I'll come in.
I'll help you guys build this out. you know, uh so it's a good way to get businesses involved in it as well. And then also events, uh they have a lot of events. If anybody knows about Blue Ribbon, um down in East Bethl, uh they
have a lot of events there. So it brings in a lot of people that can frequent the businesses. Um so it's a very popular sport and people go to different courses that just to experience a new
people search them out all over the place. So, I think that would be a good one if I were to bring one. >> All right. Thank you. The park and recreation board typically meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m.
Does this fit in with your other time commitments? >> Yes. >> Perfect. Is there anything else you'd like to add to assist us in considering you as a park board member candidate? >> Um, not much. I've been here for since 2021.
Um, my family has roots here and we plan to grow and make this place. I just want to help assist in making the best it can be. >> Perfect. Thank you. >> Thank you.
Well, thank you all for coming in and interviewing. Those were some great interviews. Um, I guess we'll discuss. I I got a couple of favorites on the list
here myself. Um, I'll open this up for discussion. I guess we're going to dis we'll have to discuss it and then pick a candidate. There will be no ballot on it. So, um,
one thing I'd like to tell you is if you don't get if you do not get nominated for this position, please do not give up. It's always hard decision to make for any of us sitting up here. And
I said that 16 years ago when I ran for city council and I'm still here. I still haven't figured out why. But anyway, that's besides the point. Uh just don't be discouraged. It's it's hard to get
four or five different people to always agree on everything. And uh so please don't take any of it to heart. It's just it's a hard decision to make for all of us. Yeah, I I really appreciate the amount
of candidates we've had um this round. Uh there's been times in the past where we put this seat out and nobody's come to apply and it's taken a while to fill it. So, I really appreciate the community commitment to uh wanting to serve and help. Um
I guess I'll try to take this away. Melissa, I I uh thought you did a great job. Liked a lot what you said. Uh Josh, I value the commitment you have to
the community and what you've done. Mr. Canudson. I've I've known him and worked with him um on the planning commission and uh if if I had to make a recommendation, I would I' I'd recommend
Mr. Kenson. So, that's where my vote stands. >> Nothing against you, Mr. Kudson, but it's I kind of like to get different people on all these boards. And uh Josh, appreciate your time. Melissa,
I kind of like what you had to say. Um I do like to see different people on different boards, not trying to monopolize everybody on all these boards. Trust me, sometimes I wish I wasn't on half of them. I'm on. So, um
you know, with that being said, I I want to nominate Melissa for that position. >> I'll follow with that. I I do get excited when someone's from far away and can bring some new voice and some new ideas. So, I I was going to lean towards
Melissa as well. >> Well, Nick, it's up to you, Mr. Peterson. >> I appreciate what Melissa and Josh have to offer, but I would pick Theodore for the position. So, I guess we'll let Luke be the tiebreaker when he comes back.
>> No, there isn't a tiebreaker in this. So, what we're going to do is we're going to have to bring this up to the next council meeting when Mr. Merurl is back and then we can vote on it at that time. I don't know if we'll leave the applications open. I think we're the application process is closed. So, we'll
just take a vote at the next council meeting. Correct. >> Correct. So, the next meeting will be on April 21st and that is what M. Uh, Council Member Peterson meant is we'll wait till we have Luke Merrill to also be um on at his seat uh which will be on the April 21st meeting and I'll check
requirements. I do not believe we'll need to have reapplicants um interviewed again. I believe that we can have him watch the interviews um but I know we are having some technical difficulties tonight and the audio is not very great um on Facebook but hopefully it's
working good um on the back end. So I will keep everyone posted and Miss Strand will all of our applicants know and we appreciate your time. >> So if we could at this time if we could get a motion to postpone to the April 21st meeting and
>> motion to postpone till the April 21st meeting. >> Second. >> Okay, we have a motion to postpone till the next meeting from council member Lundine and a second from Zo Don. Uh all in favor say I.
>> I. All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes 40. Okay. Moving on to business item B. Resolution to consider amending res. >> So that one will be postponed. That'll come back to the April 21st meeting.
That resolution um goes along with whoever is appointed to the park and rec board. >> Okay. So we're going to skip B. Yep. Yes, technically you'll still be considered. It'll be a vote for all three at the next meeting. >> Yes,
>> I mean they are per they would be permitted. >> It is possible. I mean I don't want to speak. It is possible that they could change their mind. >> It will be a new vote, not just a tiebreaking vote of what was done tonight. It'll be a new vote. Yeah. Any
of us can change our mind by the by the next vote. All right. Then we'll move on to business item K4. Resolution to consider approving special event permit for Rock Solid Foundation second annual 5K.
>> Uh thank you Mayor Prom and Council. So we do have a special event permit. um application for Rockolid Foundation. It's their second annual um 5K and fun run. They do have the amphitheater rented for this event and will be utilizing Bluebird Park. Um they also
are having um a beer garden catered by the VFW and they're also helping hoping to amend their special event application to also include the dirt works um play sand pit. Uh we do have our applicant Bethany who's here who you can ask
questions to. Um but we have received all the um information including their certificate of um insurance for this event. And it is to take place on Saturday, May 16th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and they will also be utilizing the Cambridge Bikewalk Trail
for this event. And I did check with the city of Cambridge and there is not a conflict. >> Perfect. Beverly, do you want to come up and talk at all? good time to promote your event. No. Okay. >> And >> and one thing I do want to mention is
for the um sand pit, the play sand pit, Dirt Works is um would like to be able to set that up on the day before. So, Friday, uh May 15th, and then leave their loader at the park, and then they would tear down on Saturday the 16th
after their event. So, if you approved for them to have the sand pit, um, which is the same one that is used during the splish splash summer bash, we would be approving for them to set it up on Friday, the day before, and they would have to assume any liability if something was done to it.
>> Okay. And you're okay with that? >> Okay. >> I make a motion to approve. First of all, it's the second annual. We didn't have problems with the first one. >> I think it's a great thing for people to bring into the community and uh the
liquor sales. Is that part of the VFW's um on the consent agenda? >> That was for the >> street that it's already part of their caterers permit license that they already have and we did get a copy of that. >> So, I make a motion to approve. >> Second.
>> All right. I have a motion by council member Lundine and a second by council member Peterson. All in favor say I. I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes 40. We'll move on to K5, resolution to consider approving special
event permit for the Ianis Farmers Market. >> So, we do have a special event permit for another great year from the Iani Farmers Market. Uh this is going to take place at the same location that it was last year um and a little before that.
Um going on Fridays from May 1st through October 16th. It'll be over by the AMO gas station across the um highway 65. Uh they've given permission for the applicant to have this event there. Uh they will be having uh mobile food units and vendors that they will be keeping a
list of. They've provided all the necessary insurance and site plan and documentations. The only comment was staff from staff was from the chief of police that they maintain a an egress for emergency vehicles to get around the vendor event. Um which was something
that was stipulated last year as well, which should be no issue to our um to our event and staff is recommending approval. >> The farmers event has always been a huge thing in Sani. So, um I make a motion to
approve. >> Elizabeth, do you want to talk about it at all tonight? Do you have anything to say? You want to promote your market while you're here? Um Thanks for coming up. Last year's market was phenomenal. I was uh really
impressed on on how well attended that market was. It was it was a good market. >> There's so many great vendors. >> Yes, >> it was fantastic. >> Yeah. Well, last year was the most successful farmers market ever in the history of by Sandy. We're also the largest farmers market in East Central
Minnesota. Um I think all the way up to Wilmer down to the cities to and I have flamco dancers scheduled for May 15 and it's just been a really fun fun thing and the community has come out in
droves. I mean so many people have come out to the market so many families and they really want to buy local so it's really been just a give and take a real And we um not that this is related to our permit per se, but we'll have to keep in communication when we hear from the county when they start doing road
projects or that road project. They'll be working on that stretch of road, but it's kind of after this entrance. So, I think it should be good, but we'll keep in communication of when that construction will begin once we find out. >> Wonderful. Yeah, I'm prepared for whatever. I've got different configurations I've got set up.
Yeah, I'm hoping they're going to be able to configure that because it looks like there'll be a little bit of construction going on where you're having that market and it's going to have to move somewhere a little bit. >> I've gone out and walked it a few times and I can see I I see where I can put it. >> Okay, good.
>> Hopefully, but I mean in theory, you know, application is a different thing. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> All right. And I had a motion from Lendine. Did I have a second? and a second from Peterson. Okay.
So, I have a motion from L council member Lendine and a motion from council member >> I have a you have a second from me >> to approve it. Um all in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign. >> All right. Motion passes 40.
>> All right. K6 resolution to consider approving a small package off sale license for Thunder Brothers Brewery. All right. So, Thunder Brothers Brewery does have um a different offsell license, but they're looking to be able to have um 64
ounce or sorry, more than 64. So, sales um that can go up to 128 ounces or maybe even more per customer. Um it's a different part of the rules. Um so, he would need this additional license. So, that is what um they're applying for and u they meet all requirements to be able
to do so. And the applicant is here if you have any questions for him. What is what is staff Can I ask staff's opinion on this? Is it's will be the only offsale license. I know it it seems like a restricted offsale license, but it's
the only one we're really issuing in this city, isn't it? >> Well, they are under a different rule and I I will apologize in advance. Jaden Strand knows this realm way better than I do. Um but because of them being a
micro brewery and they have different um through statute they are able to sell in different manners and have different license types. Um so it's a requirement through the state that they get this additional license to do what they're looking to do.
>> So I mean I guess I I guess you know I questioned you prior to the meeting you know is I mean we had Coburns asked for a liquor license off sale. We said no. >> I know it's state state statue. I think it has to have a population of 10,000 or
more where then we have to at that point allow other off sales. So this isn't like >> his is his is not like what Cobburns would be doing. This is a micro brewery. Now now that you explained it to me now
I understand it. It's under a different category of it. So that's why I now I understand it that way. But I mean it's just you understand where I'm coming from is when you tell somebody they can't and all of a sudden now you're telling somebody they can >> y
>> it it doesn't bode well as us as a council. >> So I have a another question about this. So would it be only his product or will he be allowed to sell product from other micro breweries? >> N and he can answer if you want to but
it's just his products that they make. The state says you can only sell. >> Okay. >> And you currently already have your beer at Ice Liquor. >> Off sale like
this. >> Yes. >> All right. >> Just the way that the statute is written, this has to it what they're looking to do wasn't included with the other um license that they had. So, he has to do an additional step. >> Okay. No, I'm I'm more than happy to to
make a motion to approve it myself, but I just wanted to understand it better and know exactly how it works because I've never heard of an offsale liquor license permit like this. So, um I'm I'm more than happy to
help uh Thunder Brothers Brewery um make the best of their business and be able to get their product out there to to more people. So, I I'll make a motion to approve. Second. Okay. Motion by myself, second by
council member Lundine. All in favor say I. I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Okay. Motion passes. 40. Moving on to K7 resolution to consider approving the
development agreement for Fairware Fairway Greens North fourth edition. >> Good evening Mayor Prom and Council. Um JPB Land LLC submitted a final plat application um that was approved by the council in November of 2025. Um and
according to their development agree agreement requirements, we do require them to have a devel or according to the plat, we do require them to have a development agreement um because of the public infrastructure involved in their development. And this is that development agreement that accompanies that final plat. And so once this is
approved, they will be moving forward very quickly with the project um and plan to begin in the next few weeks or when weather allows here um after we get all the signatures needed um for the plat as well as um this development
agreement. And so um staff recommends approval of this. Uh engineer Cook and I went over this with them for quite a bit. Um but we think we've um come to a pretty fair good agreement um that we'll probably use for future projects as our
development agreement did need some um revamping. It hadn't been looked at um as thoroughly for a few years. So we're pretty happy with this, I think. >> All right. Any discussion by councel? >> Make a motion to approve.
>> Second. >> Right. I have a motion by council member Lundine, a second by council member Peterson. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes 40. >> Just to help Erica understand some of this is it's it's a de development
agreement which is pretty standard and all those agreements which we went through all these hoops earlier on by approving what they had. So it's just a development agreement that's pretty standard. I mean, you you probably would behoove you to maybe get a copy of it
sometime from Stephanie. So, you can see actually what's in it. It's just a lot of, you know, they have to have this set back or they have to have this curb or the streets wide. It it all meets that development agreement. So, >> it is in your packet and we did have the
attorney read it to cover all our bases also. >> Okay. We'll move on to K8 resolution to consider approving the site plan for
Senarity West. So yes, so we have a site plan um recommend resolution to consider approving the site plan for Serenity West. Austin Holdings submitted a site plan review to construct a mental health clinic at 209 Main Street West. Um,
which is an is an expansion of their existing business along Main Street. Um, it's in B1 Central Business District and the D1 downtown overlay district. Um, which has a zero lot line setback requirement. Uh, the 20 proposed parking
spaces exceed the required 17 required for this building. Um and city council approved resolution 2025 um 173 in November for the reasonzoning of this parcel as it was an adjacent parcel to the downtown district and now
is included in it. Um and the planning commission then recommended approval of the site plan review on the March 17th meeting. We are just awaiting for a few more revisions, but that's included in the resolution. So, as long as they comply with all of um engineer Cook's
requirements, um we recommend approval of this at this time. >> Sounds good. I know we've had a few discussions on this and >> I think there was a couple little quirks on the sidewalk thing and by and I think she at that time she
>> she said yes, no problem. We'll get it straightened out. >> Sounds good. Any other questions or discussion? All right. I'll look for a motion to approve. >> Motion to approve. >> Second. >> All right. I have a motion by council
member Peterson and a second by council member Zodin. Um Zan. Um all in favor say I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign.
All right. Motion passes 40. Let's see. Moving on to K9, resolution to consider approving a budget amendment for the liquor store parking lot crack filling. >> Good evening, members of council.
Uh what you've got in front of you is a proposed budget amendment for the liquor store to do some crack sealing in 2026. This would pair along with our pavement management program to kind of keep that parking lot in a good enough condition
to get it to the seal coat which is in the CIP for 2029. Uh the expenses related to this will be coming from liquor store revenue. Uh attached with it was some pictures kind of that Keith provided of the parking lot that just showed some of the problem
areas that they're running into. So just something that we want to get ahead of with that parking lot being pretty new. We want to keep it in as good of shape as we can because that allows us to reduce our future maintenance there. So, any questions on this at all? >> I think crack filling is is a yearly
thing, but if it pr prolongs that life of that parking lot, which is huge, steel coating, crack filling that that that could extend that life by five plus years, if not more. So, I I think that is it's not a bad choice to make. And if
you know I think the liquor store puts things back into perspective for us. So I know I'm going to I would say right now I make a motion to approve it. >> Was was that figure with PW's involvement or is that hiring it out or where's that number?
>> That is hiring it out. That was a Jason estimate. So it'll get grouped up with our pavement management program which is the next item for you guys to look at. So, it'll all be included in that bid to that will go out and will be kind of done by the same company while they're doing their other seal coats around the
city. It will also include the crack filling over at the liquor store, too, just to get better pricing on that since we'll already have somebody in town who's working on other projects, too. Is crack filling something that PW doesn't I thought that was within their
wheelhouse? >> No. We have not done crack filling for public works. >> Okay. >> It's always been part of our um pavement management projects of the year. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. I mean our standard procedure is we when we go to these seal code streets
is we crack fill and then we seal coat over the top of it. And so moving up the crack fill step for this parking lot which was already planned for seal coat in 2029. We're just basically moving that up. And then in 2029 when it comes time to seal coat it, we'll decide if it
needs another crack fill or if we've just preserved it earlier. And so it won't actually even be, you know, a doubled up cost if it doesn't need another crack fill when it comes time to seal coat it in 2029. We're just trying
to catch it before the cracks kind of start cupping and crumbling. And so it's more just trying to catch it as early as we can. >> Keep the moisture out so it doesn't buckle. with it being so new, why is it a why did it tear rate faster than the CIP
projected? >> So, it it hasn't. It's pretty much looks exactly like a parking lot that's the age that it is. >> Okay. Um, you know, ideally, uh, doing crack fill within the first couple years of a road going in is the
best, uh, just to prevent deterioration and moisture getting into your subgrade and and letting things, you know, start going bad. Um, you know, with us kind of having put playing catch-up on all of our streets, all of our streets and all
of our crack fills are well over 8 to 10 years old by the time we get to them. But um liquor store manager and uh you know and we're agreeing that catching it as early as we can to prolong the life of that parking lot is is in the best
interest of the city and being cost effective. It really is catching it at the best time. It's just we usually aren't this far ahead of the game. So, if we didn't, we would still look like every other um schedule of how we've been getting after crack filling and
seal coating on our program. This is just going to preserve it a little bit better, a little bit earlier, and get a little bit hopefully more life out of that pavement. >> Anybody else have questions? >> I'm good. Do you got a second? >> I'll second.
>> All right. I got a motion by council member Lundine and a second by council member Peterson. All in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Motion passes 40. We move on to K10.
Resolution to consider accepting plans and order ad for bid for the 2026 payment management project. This would be you Jason. >> Yep. Thank you very much. Uh so now that you guys approved that crack filling on the liquor store parking lot, here's the
plans and we're ready to go out for bids. Um so included in there is that liquor store crackfill. Um we're also looking to crack fill the um community center parking lot and the strip of added parking that got built at that same time. >> Okay.
>> Um that's just crack fill. And then we would be seal coating the the main city hall parking lot here. Um, and that includes the crack bill as well. Um, and then for streets, it's those kind of downtown streets. We've talked about it
before, but it's kind of that area um, you know, south of Heritage Boulevard, east of Fifth Avenue in general with the couple streets that we've done recently on like first here recently being Millan overlay. We won't be doing that one. But the rest of these kind of
downtown streets are what was on the program. That uh figure in your packet is just what that long-term schedule is. And we're just we're holding right on it. Um prices came out right on track on what our budget is or at least what our estimate is uh to be able to go out for
the bids. Um if not slightly better. So we're hoping we're going to get under budgeted u amounts, but we'll see where that goes. Um the only other element that's in there is we're going to bid an alternate for how much of this concrete walk in front of the building um is
going to be able to get done as part of the project. If you notice, there's a lot of the crumbled joints in these concrete panels out front here. Um so with the parking lot improvement, we would usually repair sidewalk just like our streets. We go do spot repairs where
there's damage. with how big of an area it is. We're uh we're including an alternate price to get for how much it would cost to do all of it. And we'll see how that really compares to our budget, but we're also looking at going for just a couple quotes as like a side
