put the schedule in there so you can see who's who's coming up when uh we did receive the first half property taxes from Wasa County so that was right around $642,000 what we do with that money is we put some of it into our general fund
budget but then we also use that for Debt Service payments and things like that so we'll uh we'll get all that coded here in the next couple days the check just came here last week so uh Investments at the bank you remember last was it
December we opened up a 12- month CD and a six-month CD at the bank the 6 Monon CD did mature so we decided to reinvest into it for six more months that way we'll have a CD expire in December and
then another one in June so they're kind of six months apart if that makes sense uh James will night out at the Moon Dogs was last night uh I thought it was very well attended it was beautiful night Moon Dog's lost though you didn't
you didn't buy enough tickets and there is a celebrity at the table while your kid is yeah yeah my son threw the first pitch out so father of the starting pitcher right he was pretty excited
it didn't really hit the strikes on but it didn't but we'll work on that I kind of threw it on last minute um and then also attached would be the uh quarter 1 and Quarter Two payroll report for the
city and last but not least the coalition's brief that we get every week is in there and I was just going to remind you that I will be attending their Summer Conference in the St Cloud area um at the the end of July and that is all I have for
administrative reports motion to approve all in favor I Jacob looks like he's here to talk about the golf cours tonight yeah sure why [Music]
not so obviously it's been uh far from ordinary first half of the season it's been wet constantly um but we have managed to maintain our revenues um even with all that range
they were 2,000 ahead of this time last year um so Prett happy with that expenditures aren up but we expected this um at the moment um well the D R and and hole number one were
flooded um I'm anticipating L the replant a lot of that not good not coming back at all um so far anyways um hopefully I can do the repair
work inexpensively and a piece of equipment or something care of it myself um at the moment the driving range is will be for the perceivable future I think
um number nine South playing in the par three just about all we can do right now yeah modify the hole um so we can still have nine holes um this doesn't
seem to stop people from playing Contin to be busy every day at night though um yeah got a busy schedule coming up as always on this time of year fireman's tournament is this Friday as well as a
food truck on Friday um we looked at the the calendar upcoming we got tournaments every single weekend through August yeah um the new mow is
working great for for us do God we expected it would and um yeah we're we're happy with that um then Andrew's going to help me list a few of our items that we going to get rid of on
Ned old mow the old work there's really old mow that's par side for years and I'll actually help do that andry asked me today I've never done it before life so we'll see how it goes
figure out I'm sure there's got to be a 1800 number to call what was that you were talking about uh putting some items for sale on the Min bid online auction Joe's done it Joe's done it quite a few times yep we've done it in
the past yep what type of equipment do you need to rent to fix it good drill thinking a slit seater um something to push the seed into the ground you know without tearing it
up to tear it up um actually today I talked to Travis Hefner he worked out there years ago and this had happened once and that's how he repaired it um so it's it's been done before so I
think that's pretty helpful go yeah we'll see when we can do it though unfortunately obviously it's a bad time of year put in the [Music] ground still working on the
plan I do have a question for the golf course and I'm not sure you can answer it it's has to do with budgeting and is there a list of the capital purchases you know like every so many
years you replace golf carts or lawnmowers or on do you do you have something pre-planned a regular schedule plan on that that kind of stuff because like last year we had that buffer fence and the year before with the ball
machine and yeah um you want to yeah we are actually updating our long-term plan and our Capital plan so the council will be seeing that probably in July or August good question
with the a disaster declaration there's 75% Federal money and Governor walz said that there would be 25% Minnesota money this qualifies correct and so we're keeping track and
TR to apply for grants for yep and once the county declares the emergency and it's accepted then we can start working on that paperwork but we are collecting all of the invoices right now and overtime all overtime worked regarding
the storms is covered do individuals have to come through the city if they have damage from from flooding or is it or is it they have to fly individually that yeah individually it'd be nice if the paper would remind them of that thank you
Mike and that goes for any damaged equipment during that uh like if we had a lift station pop go down or yep I don't know if any of that happened but I know about that we've probably already spent almost $10,000 on the Storm
renting equipment pumps fuel over time what about our garbage collection for people who had damage we're going to put that on our all right that y let followup question ahe yep any other questions for
Jake than Jacob thank you sir thank you sir thanks all business number one except donation to the police department yeah simply saved thrift store is donated $338 to the police department which we can use to uh purchase some
equipment so the resolution number 21 accepts that donation so move second all in favor I old business number two uh extending state of emergency yes the uh current
state of emergency that we had with our special emergency Council meetings we declared it through July 8th which is tonight um I'm going to ask the city council if you want to discuss this and possibly declare it you know one more month until our August meeting in the event we still have
additional costs and things like that that are that we see will that be long enough can I extend it again I I would tell you absolutely extended and look at at a month from now you want you want anything remotely plug
related go on that list can we extend it more than 30 days you can I would suggest that we do that and then it isn't a an item every month I would guess uh up till November probably we should know by then is that's freeze up
approximately we should have most of the data in is that acceptable it is absolutely okay um should we say November 12th because that would be our November council meeting that would be appropriate do you need a motion on that yeah it would be
part of resolution 22 um I do want to point out though that the resolution says until August 12th so we will switch that to what did I just say November 12th I would make that motion to amend that resolution to uh go to November
12th rather than August 12th and my motion is to pass that resolution have a question the only concern I would have is that the federal puts a cut upd sooner than that then we'll have to
adapt right now it's legal for us to do it it is let's say let's say in September or let's say in August the feds come in or the county says it's ended then you guys your August meeting would then come your September meeting would come in and would then close it if
if you look at number three on the resolution it is now necessary to extend the emergency until we're going to say November 12th or unless terminated earlier so that covers it exactly so if we were to have another catastrophic flooding event does this cover it
because it's a new event however FEMA declares it okay for a new event we would pass okay we have a motion have a second a second all in favor all all business number three is the
school resource officer yes um let me grab it here oops thank you to Sheila Json our school resource officer she put the our current agreement which expires at the end of the school year last couple weeks ago um she looked at the that and she compared
some State statutes that have changed a little bit in the last few years so Sheila Put This Together as the new three-year agreement for our school resource officer position at jwp 99.99% of it is what was in the current agreement she just updated a few things
a few phrases like I said that are found in statute so uh Chief Johnson and I we met with Jeremy erer a couple weeks ago went over this word by word we're all comfortable with it the school board did vote at their their meeting most recently to accept the agreement so now
I'm just looking for a motion for the council second all in favor I two business number one 109 North M yes um thank you Jacob Jacob did submit a quote for us I got it on Friday after
the agendas went out so I just placed it on on your table here tonight for you um Jacob I have a quick question is says the South Wall okay um and this is another bid from the same
guy so we still don't have two bits yeah we don't do anything without good [Applause] um for clarification though is this wall this is 109's wall correct yes it is
still it was not a common wall there are two walls that stand beside each other the wall that's still standing there is still our wall maybe we need to look at getting lot the rest of our wall down so this would
be to our own wall [Music] yes wall probably I've got some in uh some reservations with this looks like we're doing a a lot more extensive
things than simply stabilizing a wall here sand blasting the paint off uh taking off tar Etc blah blah blah uh I don't think that some of these things are our responsibility I'm not willing or uh
able to to uh pass this with without our wall being removed first of all and then determining what we need to stabilize the wall that's there without uh window dressing it looks like of many of the
things on there so uh in in light of that I would like to table this item remove our wall and then get bids to stabilize the wall without a lot of the
extras there is another issue with removing our wall and that is uh there's electrical service hanging on part of that I don't see that being a huge a huge obstacle to get it out
of yeah I don't think that's an issue it's got to be done it'll have to be done right have to be mov right but my motion is we demolish our wall first and then determining what needs to be done for the other wall to stabilize it
not to uh enhance it or to uh improve it that's not our role our role is to uh stabilize that wall do these walls touch at out at all do these walls have anything in common cuz if we just go and
take our wall down what is that doing to the structural Integrity of that other wall if you're just saying go ahead and take our wall down if there's anything that's a common denominator with these two walls you're going to wck something of
that other wall what I've heard from different people is it's not a common wall they're separate and there's a gap between them they so there's nothing that's they wouldn't [Music] be so there's actually still that
they're sharing things okay I don't know I'm sure Jason tell us but I know there's a stack of law like this on common wall building that's it's not fun I've been through some of them before with some of my
stuff tell maybe what we should do is just table this whole thing and point you guys option yeah I like that that idea I will remove my motion I'll basically give you a
position three four options okay you want to think about without a question yeah we will I just don't think that we're in a position here tonight willly nilly make a major reaction right I definitely
would okay and Monty and Jacob I'll keep I'll keep a in connection with you uh Mike dandere had been working with Jacob here a little bit I was out of town for a while and stuff when he was talking to you so that's why he he was helping with us on
that so when they tore the building down why did they leave the wall more or less I would say we be probably safer okay I would say if you go in there tear it down now it's going to be hand workk then I got tear down an estimator
gotta just curious so then does he need to does he need to get another estimate well do we need to have I think we need to wait for Jason's opinion first our wall we should probably get our own yeah I feel like somebody else
needs to look at this wall as well exactly as ours to take down we would be the one hiring the contractor sure so at this point let's table it until you can have a list ready by our next meeting a month from now
okay okay thank you Jacob for supplying this to it was an update from the earlier one I think the the last three items weren't on the previous quote is that right yeah something like that
yeah okay new business number two we have a portion of the general V budget to look at tonight yes uh beginning in July we're going to ser looking at different portions of the budget each council meeting I
do before we get going here though I do have to ask you if you notice there's quite a few red numbers um it's really pretty early on to determine what we're going to have for insurance costs and things like that so there are there are a few things here
that are read still they probably will be for the next few weeks at least would the council you know maybe in a couple weeks we'll have more solid numbers um you notice the column that says
2023 I do have those numbers now I can enter those tomorrow could we possibly have a work session in a couple weeks does that work for everyone I I do know that on July 22nd the park board meets at 5:30 um would the council want
to have a work session at just say 6:30 again yeah that's on Monday the [Music] 22nd uh one question I do have for you we did put a 3% cost of living
adjustment for this year's wages across the board is the city council okay with 3% um last year was 3% based on the police Union contract we stayed the same with that the year before was 32% so should
we do three again I'm fine with it is the police the police contract is their contract to 3% yes and actually they don't the 2025
we don't have a contract yet because we have to negotiate that so but for 24 they or okay yeah so you're looking at July 22 at 6:30 Michael July 22 at
6:30 budget work session and then we'll review this yeah if you have any questions tonight we can certainly go over it but I I just know that when we meet here in a couple weeks I'll have the 2023 numbers in there um so things will
things will look a little better okay if that makes sense new business number three release of easement number what business number three okay uh rolling ink I'm sorry rolling inkers goodness Pearson Acres
number two back in uh 2022 we platted for Pearson Acres number two and in that plat There Was An Outlaw which was dedicated to the city for storm water management um that was not needed because the development didn't take place that way
so that Outlaw is no longer needed that Outlaw is actually part of the San boresi Pearson Acres number three area so Jason and I have been working with Paton hon andberg and we are looking we are asking the council to
vacate that easement for the storm water management because it is no longer needed so this document was put together Jason's reviewed it a couple times recommend that we uh approve this and I just talked to sanori this
afternoon asking when we were going to do this I told him it was tonight so I'll give him a call tomorrow morning if you're good with that this only releases that drainage easement on those 10 or 11 Lots on the east side of that
development kind of goes up and does a little circle it's only those lots that are already there that are already platted there couple of them that are open let's say there two or three maybe four of them open but that's the only area that gets released those other
drainage ements throughout the rest of that alha remain so don't be surprised if four or five years down the road as that development gets gets off and it's got some more development but they don't come back and
ask for another mhm now Andy can you come in tomorrow and sign this in front of a notary when you no no okay love go yep you're not
after okay okay and speaking of that I have to change the resolution yes well to change is one resolution okay so we're looking for a motion to release this easement release the
hounds I'd move that all favor hi hi any more motions motion to second [Music] second
what nothing oning would not yet not yet there not on agenda the Planning Commission will resume their public hearing at their August meeting and then the city council will meet after that well there was nothing decided at the last meeting uh
we had to table everything because the data and the information was incomplete no it was a second right I hear so good can somebody help me I'm not sure what you're saying the second um exit and entrance into the
Northwood Edition down there yeah that has to be done in a different manner we can't do that ahead of the the Planning Commission didn't address that we addressed possible Alternatives and we're looking at that however it isn't a council matter yet I when when it
finished up we were going to no no the council the uh Planning Commission has to death at first and as far as the development there we need more data more information before we can move forward so there really is no information for the council yet on that that's why I
didn't bring it up it just yeah there's no action for the council thank you yeah thanks Brian we got a motion a second all in favor I 729
