K1 uh ordinance to consider amending chapter 81 storm water rates evening Council um this is an ordinance to uh reup our water rates or I'm sorry our storm water rates um last rate study was
in 2021 and at that time we approved uh rate reductions of uh 20% in 2022 15% reduction in 2023 and a 10% reduction in 2024 uh the plan at the time was to just simply revisit and if uh if everything
held true we would then leave the rates as they are um hopefully through 2035 without uh without increases for inflation um when we look at where we're at currently um we're only off a small amount relative relatively small amount from where those projections were set
three and a half years ago um and this ordinance would then leave those uh storm water rates in place unchanged for uh through 2029 any discussion on this nope I don't anything can we add a few more years onto this Mike I noticed you said they
should be good till 2035 but we're approving to 2029 yeah I think we're close enough on our financial projections that we just need to revisit them but I think we're I think we're in a good spot very very close to what we projected back in 2021 so we're going to
for 2030 yeah and if I see something that doesn't look right between now and then I'll bring it to your attention but y okay motion to approve motion to approve second I have a motion by council member line and a second by council member
Peterson all in favor say I I all opposed same sign motion passes 4 Z okay moving on to K2 resolution to consider authorizing
aid for bid for the 20125 payment management project thank you Mr Mayor Pro members of council um so this is just the next step in our payment management process uh this is our 2025 project that's the
mill and overlay identified streets um I've included the plan set in that agenda we're looking at over whiskey Road by San Parkway piece of East duel Boulevard that' be north of where the the future roundabout is going um First Avenue
right in front of City Hall here uh a block of Main Street that's kind of crumbling apart and a piece of Creekside Lane um at this point we're just looking to get authorized to advertise this for biders with a plan to receive bids in later March and then we bring that back
for you guys to consider awarding to the resp contractor I know this is something we talked about earlier um do we have any discussion on this I think it's an ongoing thing we always got to keep looking at it and I
mean once we get the bids we can work from there so I make a motion to approve second I have a motion by council member lundine and a second by council member holgren
all in favor say I I I all oppos same sign motion passes 4 Z moving on to K3 resolution to consider approving an amendment to the 2025 budget for brush
chipping good evening mayor and Council so this was talked about our February 4th meeting um if we want to have the brush chipped at the shop so I got four quotes uh to have that done and this is an amendment to the budget to make that possible
see I was looking at River and how much logs do we have there it's really hard to tell because they're all pushed up into a pretty good pile so I'm not sure what's in the middle of that pile because I wasn't always here when stuff got brought in so I'm not sure what's there I do know there's some stuff that
we had separated up when we were trimming trees and stuff that that we did so I know there's oh probably all of 15 20 logs there that are probably oh maybe 15 ft long something like that possibly but I'm there's more inside that pile that
I'm just not sure what's there and what are you thinking you'll burn those the logs yes we would just chip them as well and separate those out okay because I see some of these quotes are with chipping logs and some are
without um the only one the reason I singled out Rivard is it looks like they'll chip up the logs too at that price 165 yeah these are these are these quotes are all I talked to every one of them made them aware that we take these
logs we chip the logs put them in a different pile they were all informed and they're all willing to do that so the logs get chipped the logs go into a different pile all the brush get chipped goes into a separate pile perhaps it's the stumps some did call
out not doing the stumps right nard says not leave stumps and I know this JR Enterprises the same thing well Jr was saying $300 per load to remove them yeah that's what they did say to move move that but I mean how many
stumps how many stumps you think are in there Matt I only call ever seeing one stump honestly so I mean it wasn't like stumps are brought in people were bringing brush and logs type of thing there's I don't ever recall one stump ever coming
in and I doubt very much there's very many stumps at all and even then if say we had a half a dozen of them we could probably just burn them off ourselves we we have taken stumps before that the city has done stuff and we put them but there's a a pile that's breaking down behind the ponds that is not like we
couldn't add three four stumps to that same pile that's that we've done in the past and just and just brought them out there and let them break down on their own I don't know you still looking at you know you're still looking at a couple thousand dollars difference JR Enterprises versus
Revard MB was only a couple hundred dollars yeah and then MB is a couple hundred difference have we used the Enterprises before for anything I haven't no there're just south of town on nine though that's where he's that's where
he's at the Lang on their quote doesn't clarify the logs it just says chip all brush remove logs stumps not included which quote are you looking at
there Jrs okay chip all brush remove logs stumps not included I almost think that that's kind of a claric where it says remove logs that's the way I kind of look at it and then stumps aren't included in it
and they'll chip the logs well if if we want to call the logs out we can take the logs out for free but this is just to have everything that's there chipped CU we have taken stuff down to um what is it on Highway 65 down there when we have had logs we've Tak them down there is that Central is that that place down
there I know who you're talking I can't think of the name of the place we' we've taken logs down there and they don't charges for logs but this pile has gotten so big it's not something Public Works can take off on I just I don't think it's something we can take on would any of this cost
be can we get any of it covered under that disaster fund they put aside for Ian County yeah that's what I'll once we have this and we actually have documentation I can submit for that y okay
um Jr Enterprise I I'm okay with that it's the lowest bid um as long as Public Works can find a home for the stumps and the log removal if we can clarify that for sure
they'll chip all logs um I think that is our bet best bet what do you guys think I'm thinking the same thing I think they're actually a local company so sure rard is front rard is down south doesn't it yeah might be rev
down south on the highway down there might yeah yeah I think you know we got somebody who doing local business with you know the other one MB is out of BR let's give back to our own Community I I make a motion to approve
uh the uh quote from uh Jr and then we're going to uh have submit to the county try to get some of these funds back or the whole thing well yeah yeah it's we'll see yeah right I'm
going to want the whole thing that doesn't mean all of it will be approved but we'll ask for as much as we possibly can also it'll be the timing on that will be an issue as well I'm not convinced that I'll be getting that money in 2025 which is why we're going to amend the budget so that we're Square
either way um but it might be showing up in early 2026 so okay and I'd like to language clar ified that they will chip the logs um yeah because it's not real clear we can
confirm that okay right I'll second who motion first I have a motion by council member lundan and as second by council member hren all in favor say I I I all opposed same
sign motion passes 4 Z on to uh approving the consent agenda um does anybody want to pull anything out discuss anything on the agenda L agenda
L4 okay we'll pull out L4 resolution to declare the TP 930 printer and surplus and authorize sale by C F quotes okay what are you what are you
thinking um only questions are if they said the new printer was bought that can also scan and it can do large format just want making sure that it's large enough to do the same size as what this one is that they're not going to be giving anything up in the loss of it no we we we even are keeping the
paper rolles like the paper rolles for the old printer fit right into the new one yep okay anything else that's it motion to approve the consent agenda second I have a motion to approve the
consent agenda by council member line and a second by council member Peterson all in favor say i n all oppose same sign all right do I have a motion to adjourn
motion to adjourn second I have a motion by council member lundine and a second by council member holgren we are adjourned all in all in favor say I I all oppose same
sign okay we are now adjourned that was a quick one there wasn't much on there
