right well I got nothing so you want to ENT second by fur discussion all in favor than you thank you I appreciate it have a good night you consider approval of a quote submitted
by striker in the amount of 20327 for Lucas 3 compression system Joel good afternoon council members uh let's see here so Lucas 3 compression system is a critical piece of our life saving
equipment used to perform high quality consistent CPR during emergency medical situations uh this device greatly enhances the effectiveness of our Medical Response and ensuring unerupted and high quality chest compressions ultimately increasing the
chances of survival of patients in cardiac arest additionally it reduces the physical strain of First Responders allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of patient care our current Lucas device is 12 years old and was last service in 2019
during that service the technician advised that we began planning for upgrade of the latest to the latest modeling recently during the training exercise the 12E model failed um and technicians have stated that it's not worth repairing our current model is a
is a model one while the current unit is is scheduled for replacement in 2027 I'm recommending U utilizing immediate funds to Pur a new unit now given its importance in emergency
response and the technicians recommendations um to mitigate Financial impact we plan to purchase the device immediately and seek donations afterward to help replenish the budget the cost will be based on the most recent quotes
supplied by the by the striker this will impact the cost of the Lucas 3 compression system will be covered by available funds with subsequent efforts to secure donations to offset the expense at this
time for our Alternatives um can approve the new Lucas 3 device as recommended other possibilities to delay the purchase until 2027 when it's ready when it's scheduled for Budget um or explore alternative funding
sources before uh committing to the purchase and the attachment is the is a compression system we've had multiple life saving CPR sessions with this product it
is a it is a labor saver as well as far as fire firemen's and also when it seems like when people go down or a lot of times are in bathroom or a small space to begin with so it's difficult to get CPR
in in that area or this unit it it really straps right to the person so you don't need to have a large profile to be able to work with patient too just it is a great tool to have um it is difficult to be without it um and for the the good
that it's done around the community I I definitely I strongly recommend that we do whatever we can to make sure that we have this again in community jie I'm good Scott um just the question I see you're you're getting an additional
battery so that you have a backup and a charger so how does that how do you maintain a battery charge on it have uh monthly rotations of the of the battery okay so it's got aot It's got an extended sh life on it it has a power on or off feature so while it's while it's
sitting dormant in the vehicle it doesn't expand you know it's not say it's in dormant State okay uses something but not enough to discharge it or not so it wouldn't be readily ready okay and if we used it say you know say we used it to nights or something like
that we would swap the battery right away so no matter you're he always have a fresh battery I just wasn't sure if there was a tendered voltage or anything where it had to be no that's good question connected to the and this this would go in the in the rescue rig the
the ambulance looking truck that goes out on all calls yep at 4110 this is our our primary um rescue truck um we do again we have a redundancy we always have at least two um and uh 50 would be our other rescue truck just because we
do we do encounter uh calls uh on top of each other back to back um but what happens with that particular piece of equipment is the battery and it stay inside 10 which is again primary truck um and so that so no matter what
happens the the backup is available um they do usually or I should say the previous one did plug into the wall is a the final option I believe this one does too I did not see that on their spec but typically they do all right thank you
right um I assume operation pretty much same as the other lot add train for anybody no no the the technicians said there's no no additional training it's it's pretty much the same thing just betters 12
years long he said we were kind of on borrow time after 10 and that's when we got it onto our agenda to get it replaced but um unfortunately not soon out of the current if we purchase the three yes yes and plus the batteries too
I believe that that in 2019 it had a mistake and then they ended up buying new batteries at that time also so you know I'm sure there'll be within 10 years there'll probably be a battery exchange at some point was
this uh not until 2027 fortunately did I see did you have anything budgeted for it yet uh no it would be Reserve funds at this moment F discussion
favos all right Joe Here Comes the next one consider approval to authorized staff to sell the 197 um so what's going on with this truck is within the next month or two I'd say two months just to be safe we expect to take
delivery on our latest 3,000 gallon purchase or 3,000 gallon tanker um enhancing our rural uh capabilities or very supression capabilities um and what's going on this truck this 1978 is
the um or that the new truck is to replace this 1978 which to 1500 gallon truck um so what I'd like is uh motion to approve the sale of the vono fire department's 1978 fire tender tanker via auction on
gr deals with a minimum bid of $1,000 to $2,000 uh if the if the reserve is not met the department requests the approval to continue listing the tender accepting the highest reasonable bid um what what I wanted to do is kind
of I guess I seen a truck that had sold for $5,000 that was an engine just remember this is a tanker and this is a smaller engine a smaller physical combustion engine in it than the than the U pump
truck so that's why we kind of set the minimum bid low um but if you think it should go for more we can certainly try that um and uh otherwise if if for some reason it wouldn't sell the most reason reasonable bid
didn't go I guess we could try Richie Brothers um the problem with Richie Brothers is they they charge basically 20% um premium or 10% premium to to a seller 10% to the purchaser so you know to get a lot out of a 1978 is kind of
asking L to begin with not to mention it it's it's served its time as as a fire truck I'll tell you that um like I said before the 1978 fire tender tanker is scheduled for replacement um with its new replacement vehicle expected arrive in the next two to three months the department will will
not list the tender for sale until the replacement is in service to ensure the operational Readiness um given the vehicle's age and maintenance cost the department recommends selling it through an online auction to ensure fair market value the department seeks to place the fire
tender tank up for action on GL deals.com setting a suggested minimum bed again between th000 and 2000 the reserve is not met the department request ability I read that to to take the next reasonable
highest bid space considerations are are one one factor also in this decision um the fire department requires additional room for the new equipment and making room is is Ely removal for this vehicle is a priority
um fiscal impact the sale of the fire tender tanker will generate revenue for the Department helping the offet ongoing operational costs and free up storage space for the new equipment Alternatives approve the sale of the
fire tender tanker as outlined above retain the vehicle despite its limited use and Associated maintenance cost explore alternative sales or donation options you want
so let's go to the Jamie do you Scott a couple things one is I know for on and off Public Works was using that tanker if it was do jetting or flushing or
whatever um is there interest in public works acquiring that or would they have would it be needed or could we use the the new one if we need water capabilities yeah so we' never had any issue with Public Works utilizing the
equipment as needed um these both the trucks that we have or the as say both trucks we have right now and the new one coming are all similarly equpped so I don't I don't see that being an issue so then there's really no need to have something sitting around that's
only to be used a couple correct this thing's been repaired time and time again to make sure it holds water so it's a steel tank and since it's been holding water since 1978 well you got to have it full for emergencies but for example public works if they knew they
were going to be flushing U you know needing needing to do it they could fill it you know if it leaked but if it's not necessary keep I wouldn't as far as the maintenance cost with it I I to have it into a general duty vehicle I don't think it's worth okay the other thing is
I know you have it on G deals are you familiar with uh with garage.com with garage with garage it is a it is a online auction just for fire appti that's all they sell I guess we could we check that so maybe there'll be some other options I don't know uh you know I
have no specifics on it but uh I've kind of been watching that they have for my industry people will buy F apparates into home equipment and stuff so I've been watching that stff so just something of this C I don't know right
and one and be I have three basically similar uh scenarios here and we could certainly try one one place and one another or something to that effect just another option too Goa that's all I
have no I don't have any questions I further discussion in favor consider approval to sta to4 res so again to approve the sale of the lzo fire
department 1984 fire engine via auction on deals.com within a b minimum bid again $2,000 um if Reserve is not met the department requests approval for continuing listing the engine or accept the highest reasonable bid again this is
this one I I found one online which one which one which auction sold on but in regardless it was at 85 almost identical and for uh 5300 so I don't know if this one will sell for
that but at least you have a price range to start off with I mean this is a C60 truck with a larger engine and stuff like that um sometimes I wonder if a a grain truck wouldn't sell for more just because it's more purpose built or more widely used
versus a know older engine but nonetheless um I think it's worth a shot uh the 1984 is no longer frequently used um a used asset for the Department yet it continues to incure operational
costs for the Department's budget to keep it in working order given its limited usage and the need to allocate resources efficiently the fire department proposes selling this vehicle to again to ensure fair market
value the department seeks to place fire engine up for auction on go deals.com in the midle the bed be $2,000 reserves now met the department will request the ability to continue listing the vehicle or accept the highest reasonable
bid comparable fire engines like I said have sold the amount of $5,000 and it's anticipated that this vehicle will sell for more than the proposed minimum uh due to the desire of small engines and especially what they got going on like California wildfires
and such they a lot of private people like to buy these I I think this is one of the better ones to sell space considerations are also a factor in the decision the fire department requires additional room for new equipment making the timely removal
of this vehicle priority this would be most likely the first vehicle I placed for sale the sale of the fire engine will generate rview for the Department helping offed ongoing operational cost and free up storage
space for new equipment alternatives are approve the sale the equipped fire engine as all lined above retain the fire engine despite its limited use and Associated maintenance costs explore alternative sale or donation options and
then the attachment that I have in your packet was that similar truck that sold for 5300 thank you SC uh nothing r Mo by second second by further discussion all in favor all opposed
motion Carri consider approval to authorized staff to sell the 1989 ladder truck engine on goals.com reserve of yes so again seeking a motion to approve the sale of the
1989 fire ladder engine via auction onov deals.com um ladder the Lonzo fire department has has identified the 1989 fire ladder engine uh the the replacement vehicle is expected to be in service within the
month making the sale of the existing ladder truck necessary to free of space for new equipment due to its historical significance adding responded to the 911 attack um the vehicle May hold additional value Department holds a
minimum bid of $6,000 and if it if it does not sell via gs.com approve the list with Richie brother auctioneers selling the vehicle will maximize budget efficiency and ensure the Department's resources are being
used efficiently fiscal impact s this vehicle will generate revenue for the Department while eliminating ongoing maintenance costs anding of storage space for new equipment alternatives can approve the sale vehicle as all lined above retain
the vehicle despite its limited use and Associated maintenance costs explore Alternatives sale for donation options yor I was I was looking at the stickers are still

dealership uh applicant uh Zack Lawrence uh who is in attendance of the meeting tonight uh owner of lawdale auto dealership uh Express his concerns regarding staff's recommendation of 15 vehicles uh parked on a hard surface and
customer parking on the road in front of the dealership uh the C the uh planning and uh zoning commission had a great conversation uh with with Zach and compromise with Zach uh and both parties uh are recommending or consider approval
of recommending um 20 Vehicles out there uh as far as the condition of the resolution goes for 2025 or resolution 20254 uh one a 40 foot long hedge Ro
hedge of screening bushes shall be planted along the southern property line starting at the southeast corner of the principal structure running Eastward on the property line uh Turf areas on property shall be in good condition uh and this is what I just stated here with

be in operable and working condition number five all vehicles shall be parked on a hard surface pavement such as asphalt or concrete uh then also I have some handouts up there too uh council member of Wasa reached out to me earlier uh this week and said hey it'd be a
great idea just to bring that site triangle or or image for the site triangle so uh no vehicle shall be parked within the corner lot site Vision triangle so that clear visibility of approaching vehicular or pedestrian traffic can be maintained uh in this
case said sight traffic or triangle means the triangle area defined as follows beginning at point of the intersection of the curb line of two intersecting streets Highway 19 and 3rd Avenue Southwest then to 30 ft along uh one curve line and then diagonally to a
point on the other curb 30 ft from the point of beginning then to the uh point of the beginning uh all vehicles should be parked in a neat and orderly manner um and then eight all outside lighting shall be directed away from from neighboring properties and meet

escrow uh there was public comment in there uh for on March 6 from Cindy fur at 719 Arizona Street Northwest sent in an email email and then uh the proposed
uh consider approval resolution 20 20254 with exhibit a uh council member of OA uh you're part of that discussion anything you want to add to the staff report sir I did recommend at the meeting that
we paint the old line it just makes sense as a whole yep and that would be outside of the conditional use permit that would be part of the public works or the direction uh by the um city council uh to the city
administrator um so yes that was brought forward Z do you want to come up here you guys do is there anything do you feel good about this the shr the shrubs I don't necessarily understand
but and I I was hoping for 24 but we we agreed on 20 I did notice that one of the trucks office to it only happened a couple times I see that right out my
window the front office door all right just in case need to get in there yeah I I don't I've never done that but I understand because we need to get in
there Scott not directly for Mr Lawrence but the the sight line um indication does that match up to the existing uh black top area no it's the grass there's a triangle that's grass i
i in that that's the sideline okay so that that lines up with the black top area that that that's why I was looking to see if the if the angle matched so it's a very it's just the front of the cars would be lined up to the edge of
the where the black top and the grass meet no the cars are in the back the cars I switched it from the 2008 so get more cars yeah okay okay all right that's that's why I was just I was looking at the picture just trying to see was there you know current
delineation if it was very close that the sight line the site triangle matched the it's just the Dr that I can't park any cars on okay okay all right that's all that's the only question I had um no I I had a chance to watch
planning zoning I think they did pry good job cover discussion and it seemed it seemed like there was a consensus from them that's question yeah I mean I'm i' got to take what I'm given there there was
give and take I think little bit both you know the numbers increased the shrub thing um I mean there's trees there there two big trees yeah and I think I think it's more about the the
proper I mean if we have a line of shrs I guess you know I I can understand maybe they want a little delation there I guess I know but as I explained last time this is the same property has been there since 08 and
before that and he's not said nothing ever pointless I already have to I mean I'm going to there's like a 4 foot so the east side where the black top ends there like
a 4 foot by 20 foot space that I need black okay so you you do have something you need I guess I didn't catch that to get the maximum you know I don't need to do it to put 20 cars on there right so
so this change to the the the permid doesn't requ any on your part you're doing that by choice correct okay thank you for yeah and the the the grass area that he's speaking to the
triangle I would like to figure out a way to maybe like rock it but I don't know if that's possible we were to that's a conversation that we were going to have because what you call it like a you have to have a certain amount of green or something uh impervious coverage I think believe in
the B2 we looked at you can have up to 90% impervious coverage on your property you have to have it or you can up to 90% so I'm I'm not sure what your current impervious is but you say like if you're at 83 you would have a chance an option
to move it up to to that 90% yeah I was just going to try to see if I can maybe do like a harder surface not to park cars on it but cuz when it gets like this and the ground's real soft kind of hard not to drive on but Cory does not does Rock not come as an
imp service so you par the car no no I don't want to park the car no but water would drain through it well is this considered landscaping or this is not part of the parking lot um so impervious we're talking about if we're going to make any
if we're parking cars on it has to be a solid surface either concrete or asphalt what was alluding to that area um that's currently kind of rutted up and muddy uh it would that would kind of be in that that sight triangle to do a three foot
wide land land Rock barrier rock or a transition between the the black top in the grass so you're talking about for aesthetic purposes yeah just cuz yeah because you guys want it to look good and it's tough not to dry like but rains and a customer pulls in there it's
there's nothing I can do about it and then I mean every spring summer the grass comes back and it's fine but it's just these two months that it's kind of poopy yeah I mean I guess as far as Landscaping I thought you were saying that it has to be a certain amount of
green like grass no imperious is a hard service no they okay Zach the grass part is just keeping the lot in good condition that that's the only thing saying I thought there was a rule where you probably had to have so much green I must have I just we're right as far as
Landscaping proper as Park cars no yeah what they're saying is 90% so 90% of your property can be black top concrete whatever but 10% has to allow water to flow through
it and the Rocks rocks wood chips grass uh those type of things so that the water is not sheeting off into the gutters and into the storm sewers yeah have ground flow in I would just say
in that because of the S no it's just yeah it's just strictly I mean just just to make a harder surface that's all I got all the cars in the back I was2
scre is that the location was this 722 and then yeah the 72 is in the front between the cars and the nster neighbor what what there's talking about there's two trees there I can't even do what they're saying because there's two trees
there and council member uh Miller yes uh there's Zach on Zach's property has on the west south side of the parking lot that's that's screened already with shrubs this is the I call it the back be
yeah they're kind of taking the opportunity I'm asking so they're throwing a bunch of stuff in there and they took a bunch of stuff out too it was 10 things and now it's n or eight or something but he he explained to me that was a new business so some of
those things needed to be done when it was new they no longer need to be done with a area of if you shorten the the shrub area up to where the two big trees are uh so that provided some screening from the existing shrubs to the trees
that no what I'm saying so it's 72 ft and then the building and then they're saying 40 ft which is the back side of the building there's two trees there oh just the yeah the corner of building the south side of the East parking lot to the
alley that's right I to the alley right from the 72 yeah yeah that no the buildings there yeah I mean there above me oh yeah yeah how tall do they have to be uh there's no specific he sir it's just a
screening it's just a screening uh that would be up to the council and working with Zach here I'm saying I know I hear you I'm just saying that a scen no I'm saying but I wouldn't be able to
put you want to put cars no it has nothing to do with cars it just look stupid so trying to plant anything or install anything going throughs it would just be it would just be stupid you guys whatever you want you're the
councel if it if it becomes an issue with the ne neighbor or any other neighbors I'll be more than happy to revisit okay I'm fine with that okay okay can I was that was that something that was brought up by the neighbors or was it the plan commission or where the
screening it was consistent with the original um conditional use permit in 2008 so if you're going to have cars on the east side and it required screening the thought was or I'm sorry the west side and you have screening and you want cars on the east side you would have
screening there as well than okay if we took that out we're good good okay somebody motion two more cars it'll be really good that's number one all right motion
by second thank you Z oh so that's the whole thing all right thank we're all good I appreciate you guys we got through this yep exactly so when do I get my money back we're working on
that thank you Zach all right you guys all have a good night Z all right consider approval of resolution 20255 a resolution proclaiming April 2625 as aror day the city

application for payment number one the amount of $212,100 75 to P comp's Inc for the booster station Rehabilitation project Shabani thank you mayor and members of the
council um so this is the first pay request from PM companies for our booster station rehab project just quickly um the booster station was originally constructed in 1978 and there was a need to replace all the internal components um the project was awarded
dep Pember June 27th 2004 and then we had a preconstruction meeting at the end of July of last year um during that time there was um several submitt and some back and forth um going on and an understanding of when
we would when all the equipment would be received uh for them to finally start uh on fe uh February 17th of this year um so they did remove all the existing piping put in the new piping um uh and
took the system off the high pressure Zone the pressure tank was installed along with the flow meter um as we've updated the council before there was a um delay in a comp component for the panel board um and so what they did is they
just hooked up the system uh temporarily to the existing power system just to um limit the the amount of time that residents would be off of that high pressure Zone and at a lower pressure zone so the system did did go back
online on March 20th so a little over a month we had sent letters to Residents um affected by this saying that it would be offline through April 4th um so we did they did get it back on earlier however there are a couple other things
they need to do um so um as they were planning on March 20th to hook up the system we were notified on uh March 18th that the um Plum pump supplier supplier identified
that the pumps were not stamped um nsf61 certified this was a requirement of the Department of Health permit which they received last fall in September and um they had and what that um certification
does is is just identify that the materials won't have contaminants um interacting with the drinking water and and the system and so um in order to kind of figure out some solutions for
this um WSB Department of Health and the pump supplier talked with um uh had a meeting with Department of Health since this was their requirement and we typically don't see it it's something kind of new due to EPA
standards um and so that meeting was to kind of review the submittals and the materials to see um what options there um were um you know to see if we could just leave
the pumps but in any case Department of Health was not comfortable with that um they want the pump stamp and certified it's my understanding the only difference is they didn't apply a second coat and check the box on the forums at the factory to get it
stamped um the contract or the pump supplier has um identified that was their error um and so they did remove the pumps and then put the pumps back in in time for the March 20th
startup so um they will have to send them back to the factory to get certified we have not heard a schedule yet but it's it's going to be a few weeks um and then we also heard today that the air compressor and that uh
component that was delayed for the power panel is in now so they um are planning for April 7th and 8th to install that um which will uh create some low pressure for those two days but then they should
be able to install that and then um depending on the pump situation um there'll be some time when the system's offline um to replace the pumps but I'm guessing that's a day's uh work
given that I believe they were able to remove it in a day um and then after the power panel and the compressors online they would proceed with the Coatings and the epoxy flooring as
well um so um as stated the contractors's requesting for payment of 212,000 10.75 for mobilization removals installation of the piping and then the flow meter so not the pumps air
compressor um and power panel the original contract amount was 34,2 35 so as I mentioned um since the project was awarded and we got sub mitts in there was a lot of um back and forth
in discussion with staff over some of the equipment and so we have some deduct to the contract and some additions so um the the project called for uh removing and replacing the door
with a wider door for easier access um the contractors bid included removal of the door but not installation and as we were working with them trying to figure out the schedule because originally they were going to
have this complete last fall into winter um uh we discussed or Public Works offered to just remove and replace the door so it's done um and and and ready for the internal work to be
completed so therefore that um demo resulted in a deduct of $12,750 from the contract the contract also um called for removing that concrete stoop and again since we were getting into winter
conditions that was removed for the from the contract so a deduct of 1,689 and then again due to to them starting in February and um weather conditions uh the contract also included
replacing um a water service line outside of the building um for future drinking fountain service and that was removed as well that can happen at a later date but the internal pipe that was leaking was replaced so that was a
deduct of 4,680 for total deduct 19,1 19 um we also had some additions so with the um Department of Health uh permit they
required a um water level site glass um with the new pressure tank it came with some level transmitters so you can gauge the the levels as opposed to having site glass to visually see it that way um but that requirement the
permit came after the project was bid so um that needed to be an add-on and the existing site glass um was not in a condition where they could just Salvage and reinstall it so that addition was 2,812
21 um and then the next item is the air compressor so their um vendor had presented some different types of air compressors and configurations and during the submitt
um it it was identified that the the air compressor they bid would not be 100% oil free it would have a very small amount of oil even with um filters so it's not a Department of Health
requirement but just in talking with the mechanical engineer and um Joe and WB staff um since this was all being replaced it made sense to um make sure we're 100% oil free so that
we're not introducing any um contaminants and I think you know if Joe wants to jump in there's some history with the water treatment plan and some other um facilities where where that might not be the case the current
um uh pressure tank was not oil free so the project included just replacing light for light so so that addition was 11,058 45 so the total additions then were
13,870 and66 this um results in a net uh revised contract amount of 334,000 or sold less than the um bid and again the contractor requesting their first payment the
22,100 that does include a 5% um retainage reduction this project had 460,000 budgeted through the water fund and we will be what uh below that amount and um alternatives are to um
approve pay voucher number one that portion of the work has been completed um per state statute you have 30 days to um pay after it's request and then um alternative to is not pay it um and then you know the work is in
compliance with the plans and specifications and is recommended by staff so thank you thank you Shani ran you got anything no Curry are we
it's all just no there has no okay Jamie I'm good Scott uh just on the air compressor situation so it was we had it specked as oiless and that was just overlooked or well
um me it the sure um so Scott if you remember so previous mayor previous councel um that's when this project was bid and accepted original contract I shouldn't say original contract
original perceived project scope was to not include the air compressor we were going to leave the current air compressor in there due to anticipated cost of this project because the project came in underneath
our anticipated budget council at that time approved the addition to get a new air compressor as Shabani stated it was specked as like for like so it was a new version of the same air compressor that we had now speaking with
WSB um an oil filter air compressor was recommended similar to the same exact air compressor that we have at our water treatment plant um WSB dug a little further and
recommended not sure if the Department of Health required it or not but they recommended that we just go oiless we don't depend on any filters we don't depend on anything um that's where we are at today okay so it was it was
originally an oil filtered type correct okay why I just want to clarify when we say oil it's not like a leaky car on your garage floor we're talking microns of a slim possibility and it's
just best to eliminate it totally okay I just was looking at it from a standpoint if if they made the error and they didn't bid it as per spe well that's that's different but there was no error in the bidding process on the air compressor that's all I have um Shani
Joe uh do you have spare parts list and do you need spare parts for any of this when it comes to PR or sensors or pumps or rebuild kits no so the new equipment that we have um
is I guess we could say it's like for like it's new versions of everything that we had so how this project was bid is the door was opened and here you go this is what this is what we're going to replace um the additions to the
technology of this booster station now we have um variable drives on our pumps so they start and stop much smoother now than what they did currently the existing pumps that have been in there since I've started here
they're in there right now um and as far as spare parts you know I I really just think it's too new to to have anything um if that's what you're getting at like
if there's like my thing is is so traditionally if you do an install and you have two pumps you a rebuild kit where you get another pump sitting on the shelf waiting so if say five years from now it goes out you replace it with
a new pump rebuild the worn one all the seals and everything and then that way you keep it on the Shelf you always keep one on the Shelf so in a sense that's how this is designed it is a it's a two- pump system and the pumps are just
redundant okay um it's it's mostly a a one pump suffice system that was also part of my recommendation um to keep it local we have three of the nation's leading pump suppliers within
20 minutes of Lonsdale so I felt it really important to keep between those three Minnesota Pumpers being the chosen um supplier um we've had great success with them in the past at our wastewater treatment
plant and we do keep seal kits and and those things in line with that for for maintenance needs but um the council just needs to know it's literally a phone call and 20 minutes away so um
again redundant system same as our lift station so you have one main one main pump it's a lead and a leg system yeah and then you switch off like weekly monly monthly whatever time you can pick whichever time you want sure all right
well that's great um I got else to add so motion by second by any further discussion all in favor I all
oppose motion carries thank you Jo shabine consider approval of application for payment number three in the amount of $ 339,119 to metcon Construction Inc for the city
hall remodel project thank you mayor members of the council um this is uh application payment number three items contained in it are General and temporary conditions Roofing doors windows um sheetrock bathroom items

council chambers mill work is currently being done um they'll be bringing the dis in next week I believe uh flooring and then um the roof topping startups all right thank you
K Jamie Scott nothing at this point Brian no questions thank you Joel um a motion move any further discussion all in
favor all opposed consider approval of resolution 20256 resolution accepting a $5,000 donation by the lale baseball club for the JC Park scoreboard Joel uh when we started working on this
project and um it was approved to purchase the scoreboard uh Lonsdale baseball club or or Aces um committed to donating $5,000 towards the project um they did make the donation last week um cities as we've talked about we've
accepted some donations here recently um cities can accept donations for the use and uh betterment of the the city and their residents um they do need to be acknowledged by resolution so that it's
clear that one is being accepted and then what funds will be dedicated to so in this case by approving the proposed resolution 20256 uh the city council would be accepting the $5,000 donation from the Lonsdale baseball club and then the
donation will be dedicated to the park fund and used to offset a portion of the cost for the the scoreboard that that was purchased unless there's any questions staff would recommend approval of resolution 2025 16 all right thank
you I'm good got well I just thank you to the baseball club for that donation right same thank you to the Aces and uh looking forward to keeping Varsity Softball excuse me in onale for
the foreseeable future thank youbody I I Echo everyone thank you to Joel for really getting Public Works to put that thing together too that was a huge team effort so thank you for that I'll entertain another
motion motion by Miller second second by Pala any further discussion all in favor all opposed motion carries consider approval of resolution 20257 ution approving resoning 115
Alabama Street Southwest from public facility to single family detach residential this is like one of the conditions of the purchase agreement that we have with the buyer for um 115 Alabama Street Southwest or the The Old City Hall uh currently it is own public
facilities and regardless of the future use would need to be rezoned uh in this case the buyer intends to uh remodel the the structure and live there um the vast majority of the city's residential zoning is single
family detached residential R2 um the fiscal impact to the city is none for the agree uh purchase agreement the buyer is responsible for the costs associated with um getting this completed Alternatives would be to not
approve the proposed resolution um which the city would be in default of the purchase agreement and the property would not be sold and then included with staff report um is the proposed resolution and then the land use application that was submitted
um by uh us the the seller owner um to to start this process unless there's any questions staff would uh recommend approval of resolution 2025 d17 thank you
Scott nothing so this as far as the steps go we just need to approve this and then it's all it's recorded and all that at the county level and that it doesn't even go to the county level we'll upate our zoning map and okay all
right all right so what they've already paid and all that for this uh it'll be accounted for a closing okay all right that's all I all right motion approve all right any further discussion all in
favor oppos all right motion carries consider approval of resolution 20258 resolution approving vacating the southern 12T of the Alabama Street Southwest
right of way between Second Avenue South and the alley to the east uh again this is a condition of the purchase agreement that we've entered into um with the city owning the property um it wasn't that big of a deal that the structure was located in the right of
away but now that we're selling it it's definitely needs to be be removed um the only way to do that would be to vacate the southern 12 feet of the um right of way of on Alabama Street Southwest um to get that outside of the the right of
way the uh applicant actually um got a surveyer and um so the city did not incur any costs for this um other than public hearing notice and things like that that would be the fiscal impact uh Alternatives would be the same the same
as the the previous agenda item where uh if not approved the city would be in default of the purchase agreement and the property probably would not be sold and then attached is the proposed resolution the land use application uh the survey and then Alabama Street
Southwest unless there's any questions staff would recommend approval of resolution 20258 in favor opposed motion carries consider approval of a quote submitted by
H in the amount of 97783 City hit right uh thank you mayor members of the council this is the next step in the the process been working with hendrik on Furnishing the the new city hall um the budget was 75,000 um working through
each area the building um the quote is which is based off of State bid pricing uh came in higher than that uh almost 98,000 includes delivery and installation um there are project funds available to to cover the difference the
items quoted are standard office items uh on par with Furniture purchased for for the PD um at local businesses at our schools um this is just standard office stuff we got four offices desk chair
storage conference room 10 chairs conference table uh Lobby six chairs two tables in the the council chambers be nine chairs for the council and staff 52 chairs for the public and then 16 tables
uh break room has two tables and eight chairs um I did work with Henrik on some possible cost reductions uh removing one guest chair from each private office uh removing three chairs and a table from the the
waiting room uh removing 10 chairs from um our conference room and then swap them out with chairs from the council chambers and then um switching the the
style of the the chairs in the council chambers came up with about $118,000 in savings um you know after after thinking about it reviewing it um it is my
recommendation to to go with the the bid price at the 97,7 5883 included with this is the the site plan or the the layout of of where the furniture is to be located uh three 3D renderings of the the
offices uh essentially everything that's getting furnished the council chambers um the conference room waiting room and then the break room uh with the material selected as far as fabric style um colors of
the table chair frames countertop things like that um yeah like I said on par with what we did with the the PD unless there's any questions staff
would recommend approval of the quote submitted by hendrik a 97,7 5883 all right thank you we any from compies uh it's based off of the state job um the state bid
okay so they're pre-negotiated I mean that's how we bought our last fire truck um plow trucks so all that stuff is is pre-negotiated I just you know and you know what we thought was um the PD was about 40,000
so we thought you know geez double should be you know should be good um and it wasn't it's it's not going over the it's not going over the project budget it's just going over this line item that that
P that PD budget was preo too so that correct when we did that so the numbers really I guess that's do we have to buy all new furniture um no we can continue to have mismatched stuff I mean these you know chairs are all stained I don't think there's one office at City Hall that
well I suppose Cory and another office are the same but otherwise everything's all M matched Hodge podged um kind of look at this going from you know buying your first house you get a kitchen table you get a bed yeah you
know so my recommendation is you know new facility this is going to be the Crown Jewel I think it needs to present itself that way what are we going to do with the current Furniture in the old
cityall uh see see what if any other departments need it other sell it I was wondering if like the back break room save some of the chairs from here instead bu a new break room set Siri yeah if you guys want
to I'm good Scott what would we be looking at foring yeah it would be it' be a couple Grand and are those break room chairs are those uh like the PD uh break room where they were just a metal frame and a
plastic a fiberglass yeah just thinking for you know you know food spillage stuff like that clean you know ease of clean and stuff like that that's the only reason I yeah they're plastic yeah I I I don't I don't like the idea going over budget but you we've
come under on know some stuff so it's been a little bit of a you know ups and down but uh I'd still uh like to see the as Joel said the CR move
forward and it's just this line item it's not the total project cost is that all you have that's it yes that's it yeah I me you know see go you know like one of the cost
reduction is that preco everything more expensive now Furniture is not Che getting it is another ch soft cost that if we want to move all this stuff over that's staff time so the
two grand we sa to that I just you know if I could add um you know say for example yeah we did keep you know some chairs for a break room uh and one of them you know and we sell everything else off one of them breaks you know we we have to replace it with something now we're
starting to get into that you we're going to keep spares you know just where do you draw the line as far as that you know I'm I'm not going against know your position Jam just just you know that kind of trying to remain consistent we
could probably find a replacement that would match you know the other thing too is um like I'm just looking at reduction options here the big on one is waiting don't want to take away from
that so that's my mind off the table conference room we' talked from day one or at least I've been from day one one of the main things in my mind with this building everything all that
space is available that includes so I think having nice furniture for our community to use when they use that space I don't want to reduce that either then you
you're talking small AMS again staff time up that same amount we're way under oury money on building this doesn't even you know we're building for long
term new is going to last longer than trying to we canair here they're showing their age so Brian once again you know going back to the waiting room you know we have two setups
for waiting room you know Furniture now if we do move into a agreement with renting out um the other the other space you know for example they said for example they uh they would have their student in there and possibly parent and
sibling sitting outside well you could fill that up you know one one table and a couple of chairs relatively quickly and if somebody else was sitting at you you don't have sufficient seating for you know we got to remember that we have another entity a potential entity and we'll recoup some of those costs oh
um Joel I got a question is there a way that we could take this table here as the conference room t uh I believe it's two feet longer so
on on one of those renderings looks like 51 Ines on one end and can't quite read 52 one and a but I I know it's two feet this table is two feet longer I know I measured it this one yeah what I was
looking for is so then they put the chairs in there and all of a sudden you're having to squeeze into the table to let people behind you the flow um unless we wanted to put the the conference table in there at an angle an angle yeah and I don't know if
that's I just kind of think well you know it would be cool to bring at least one part well besides I has yeah open space we put in open space but
that's that's something that I'm just kind of curious about you know you guys want to take it do something with it but what would happen Well yeah if we yeah I mean if we have a use for it to definitely what would happen to everything else in here
would it just would you have like kind of like a eastate sale or pretty much and then for everything take pictures and put the price 97,000
buing and it's very possible you look at you know possible an insurance agency or something would look at it they could want you know some of this furniture it would fit fit well in their in their model well and that's just it right um
when we're talking about office desks offes off and going back together it's never the same the other question I have is do we have a lot of hard copies of City archives whether it's old permits or
whatever uh yeah I mean that room over that storage room is full there's full we have a storage room upstairs we have the a file rooms behind um now is this front entry so if a fire were to happen in here what would
happen hopefully the fire department W get here [Laughter] quick yeah it would it would burn um we have we have been working towards um scanning documents um like address files
and things like that this is uh is this something that um you would like to consider is kind of looking at a kind of box or something so that way we can retain them if something ever were to
happen uh we could as far as the new facility yeah the new facility so we got all these St room it is sprinkle too ask but I mean if a spring goes off you
know would they even be where they're at yeah I would I would have to assume that they would get water damaged yeah I just want to make sure they're secur but other than that um you want a motion a night right correct because I think it's I think she said it's four to
six weeks to delivery and install this this price includes yes I think we had a great discussion on this motion I'll make a motion to approve the
quote for Henderson for 975 or 75883 for City Hall furniture by second by any further discussion all in favor all oppos
all right motion carries thank you department and Council reports I'll let you go first thank you mayor and members of the council I've been working with the Department of Health to facilitate a time for our
public information meeting for Wellhead protection part one um got some meeting invite times out with staff we just got to get a date and time finalized um the JC concession update uh
the plumbing is done the glass board is done stat um the electrical will be next week and then the epoxy floor will when the temps allow it we have to be consistently over 50° at night um so
there is a potential that we could have one game with the old floors fully open but just old floors it's not ideal but it's just kind of what we have to work with um speaking of the parks the Parks have been a very hot ticket item here
with the with the nice weather um par parks are up in full force we have the soccer nets up the volleyball nets up pickleball Nets are up the tennis net is up today we painted the soccer fields so they are 100% ready to go um about the
only thing that we have yet to to do is to turn the water on um the Banners are up on Main Street uh we've been doing some pothole repair with some coal patch uh just random potholes around town as we see them doing locates and things like that the new paint striper is in so we are
excited to get out and get crosswalks and some striping done um it's just it's staff's belief that the sooner we get out there the safer the crosswalks are um things I'm working on right now are getting the timing together for
hydrant flushing um startup of the booster was kind of um a factor in that but it sounds good I'll be bringing the playground mulch to you guys on the April 10th
meeting um and then the kind of the the the best thing I have to report to you guys is the city of londsdale received an award from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for operation Excellence um this is not a handout
award there are 1,600 wastewater treatment facilities in the state of Minnesota there are only 676 of those facilities that qualify for this award and were reviewed by the mpca 235 of
those met all the criteria criteria are there are no violations of any kind whatsoever there are no late submitt for any DMR s all samples are taken and received on time and passed within our
permit parameters so a big shout out to Jordan plots our Wastewater um our lead Wastewater and water operator he strives for excellence and this proves he achieves it um so if you see Jordan out um shake his hand congratulate him it's
a it's a very prestigious award um that's all I got for you guys going to article I think so so I just got an email from Corey um tonight um and it was from Holly our marketing director is that her
title consultant consultant um so Facebook um speaking of the newspaper Colton did come today while we were painting the soccer fields he wanted to talk to all of us and gather some information so um that's
something that he definitely needs to put in the paper so how big is the cash priz from the state of minesa you know I wish there was a surplus wish there wasn't get this award unfunded cancel our variant EMA your
legislators no it was it's a good job you know that's kind of it's kind of how our whole department runs you know everybody just really they strive for EXC excellence and um the great thing for me is I I don't want to say like I they know I
demand it they know that Excellence is the standard but it's there's no harping that's just it's within all the guys and it's just it's I don't have to harp I don't have to say anything it's just it's really nice that um so is there like a plaque or something that we get there is and I forgot to bring it that's
right no that's something City to just to note um this is not the first time the city of Lonzo has received this award um this is Jordan's third consecutive
award so yeah we hang them in our wastewater treatment plant currently I mean if if you're okay with it absolutely absolutely let show this people know you
people it's a really demanding job I mean he's on call every single day of the year um and he he does great w that's great thank you Joel how about you
sh I just supporting staff with any needs and then working with quick trip as they had some questions prior to their p plat a midle is that going pretty good quick um they know what they need to provide I
think it just takes time to put their package together Jo uh just to follow what what Shabani said um Quick Trip their their goal for their other their approvals is June so it'll
be to the city here in the next couple months for for approvals uh the Public Works director and myself met with safe assure our um safety training company uh the Eda had a AI lunch and learn on the the
17th uh I met with the County engineer on the two proposed developments to talk about um what the county would require for improvements to their County Roads which are adjacent to to these developments uh we'll be reviewing Theon

uh we had I was trying to recruit this business in and they were approved for the total amount trying to get in on this building and then the building went back to the original person that was
leasing it out so that kind of bummed me out quite a bit um that that deal had fell through but it kind of brings on a discussion that maybe we should have a work session on and that's you know it's kind of on the of a where it's like okay
do we look at bringing a developer in and do we look at building a building and then Le in do we help fund it you know do we have a developer do it you know we look at Mar k um you know some efforts like that because right now it's
it's hard to build and people would rather lease so I think that's something we should get on a work session and try to hash out and Joel's got a lot of experience talking about that too so Ed the uh Montgomery's Town Hall today um
with Tom Esser and Zack Matson and Brian Heck and they're all great they're kind of going through some issues too where it's a lot of Road developments it's a lot of road construction theirs is a little different than ours um they have to do complete road projects where we're
talking Mills Mill and overlays and so they're they're in it with that and um they a little lower dead than us but they still have Town Hall police station fire station so um other than that that was great to
be there and hear from them and having a good relationship with other cities is phenomenal so other than that I got nothing else um upcoming meetings April 10th 2025 7 p.m. April 24th at 7 p.m. May 8th
at 7 p.m. and nothing else to say I'll seek a mo a motion to adjourn I actually was going to ask did we have a work session we haven't done that yet okay okay I just I didn't have I didn't have it recorded that's why I was kind of having a little uh I think that we had
discussed was it Tuesday the 8th Tuesday the eth as just aough we never Ved right but we were trying to there's never been any discussion with staff on I think
session it came up in context I believe at the last work session in regards to I can't miss another yeah yeah that that maybe that we couldn't vote on or you know whatever because we couldn't vote so yeah I just was curious I I didn't see it in my in my notes so I was having
a little panic attack I think we should try to ban one end of April or beginning of may just so that we have ofce every April's kind of kind of a busy
Easter so maybe want to Flo it for me till May on it that gives sta time look at this first day of May is maybe now you know if if we're since
we're opening up this one thing that we we should really consider here too is if we're going to do one I think we're getting to the point where we probably have to do one and then either pause on them because we're getting into
budget and trying to squeeze in work sessions with the budget cycle is going to stretch staff it's going to stretch everybody because that's a lot to ask them I mean if we're going that we're talking
me and I don't I don't know if that's appropriate because a lot of what we would talk about work sessions is going to come through the budget process yeah I I believe the intent of the work session starting out was to communicate
with staff the vision of the the council and whatnot and you know if we've established that then it's through the budget process and you know the meetings I think we've been able to communicate and prioritize is there ever an
opportunity to kind of combine counil meeting into one so one of the council meetings be considered a work session in of you could just talk about that a regular council meeting yeah and some cities they just do their
city council meeting then turn straight into a so it's a lightend I think okay okay motion all right motion bya second by Miller stop interrupting
me any further discussion all in favor all opposed all right have a good night everybody thank you
