comments okay requests and presentations The Event Center good evening my name is Ethan Hagen if you guys didn't know who I am this is my wife Angel um I'm from New Richland my parents are an Randy Hagen um been in
Richland graduated Richland High School um we know well currently live in Wasa um we're both currently members of the First Congregational church here in Richland um as you all know the church has since closed its doors and is now
closed for the congregation as well um being that I was a congregation member um I was asked if I would like to purchase the church from the church um that was a great honor to me um since my
whole family has gone to that church I went to that church as a young kid got confirmed in that church a lot of history and a lot of good things with it so just about every which way we could think of to try and make it work
um Tony did you get that email at all um we just kind of put together a website what is the website it's the Event Center website I can give it to you long hand if you want to type https the event all the dep event
center.com oh and then you'll have to go.com yeah it's not live yet that's why it's and then like that do the dash steeple Dash perfect yep Dash event Dash
Center perfect spelling it all right or no or there need to be another there may be a dash there we go got it perfect there we go okay so here's our proposed idea on what to do with the church as it is um
our main focus is just to keep the life of this church going um I think I can speak for just about every Committee Member with the church board um they would like to see the church preserve they don't want to see you know
anything happen to it or have it misused for any other reason um so this is what we have in mind of doing with it um here's the steeple Event Center um open to weddings business meetings um all
sorts of different things family reunions family re funerals um basically any sort of public event that you'd want any sort of community event we talked about live music you know having some
bands there Jody yeah yeah so anything you know in everything that the community can use you know any ideas we're open to we just don't want it demolished you know it's the oldest church in town 1822 was built and moved
and you know like he said it's a big part of his family and my family too and we'd like our kids to you know be able to grow up there we even talked about having possibly even a church service there once in a while if we can find a pastor that's willing to do that you
know but the main idea is to keep this church as is um restore it to what it should be um so at this point um we're basically here just looking for the blessing of of the city council board um
you know looking for your support in this business venture um some things right away that we're going to run into is getting this building up to Cod it's been grandfathered in for years and years and years so um we have contractors we have Architects we're
getting estimates on you know what we'll have to do to get this building basically first up to code and then we can talk about you know what we're going to do renovation wise inside the church that the other um there's some water damage you know things like that that we
trying to take care of and yeah we just want it to look nicer than it kind of does inside you can go to the gallery button hopefully it works like I said I just did this last night so and scroll down a little bit a little
further right there so that's the inside of the sanctuary and then if you go down just a little bit more that's the base bement we're thinking you know Dances things like that would be fun you know after the wedding if they didn't want it all in the sanctuary area if it didn't all fit
up there you know we're just trying to come up with ways to preserve it make it a fun place for everybody to go hang out you plan on using the kitchen we are not going to use the kitchen other than for you know catering coming in and bringing in the food that's already made probably brought up to cod as
well yeah and we're doing everything in our power to basically get it up to code um you know as cheaply as possible um you know we're dealing with the county inspectors State inspectors fire Marshalls this that and the other um you
know looking at it it looks like it could be done one or two different ways um our architect thought that maybe it wouldn't have to be full-blown commercial um it might be able to still fall within underneath a church because
we're not really selling anything You' just be renting the space um we'd have to see on how that goes I think that's a long shot would help property taxes and things like that otherwise Beyond Renovations just to get it up to code we're looking at uh the
assessed property tax value right now the value it's at right now is $563,000 um if we were to start a business um you'd probably be looking at you know 10,000 a year just property taxes so um we've been again talking
with some people trying to figure out how we could possibly get that reassessed um to get that a little bit lower to be able to run a business out of it and be able to keep it alive um Angel's been doing a lot with
Grant work looking at you know some grants small business grants and things like that that can help us along the way or we just really wanted to get out all the information in front of you guys um so you can kind of know you know obviously where's where the chch is at
now what our plan is what we'd like to see done to it see if you guys have any ideas if you guys know of any you know small business grants through the city or programs that we could look into yeah be helpful too just trying to keep the church the
spirit of the church alive and you know just be with weddings and community events and just being a Church Without Really being a church you know I definitely recommend you need to come to the Eda meeting and and talk this over
the Eda for sure um we definitely have some opportunities that we could potentially assist you with I know we do have we just got awarded a grant with the state um and we're actually looking for a project we don't have a project right now so this could potentially fit into that I don't know what Ed is GNA
eventually choose to do with that um the other thing is once you kind of have um a plan in place then I would encourage you to reach out to me so that we can schedule some time with Planning and Zoning to figure out what we need to
do okay um it's kind of tough to go into Planning and Zoning meeting with not really knowing what you guys want to do because really can't ask planning zoning to change stuff for maybe this maybe that we kind of got to have sort of a plan in place
to to address this things so um but um definitely um before we get to that that point if you kind of have two or three ideas of ways you want to go if you want to send that to me I can definitely bounce those off what I know as far as
Planning and Zoning regs are and kind of tell you what you can and can't do and what you could look for for variances at least that would kind of give you a ballpark idea of what you could ask these guys to to to wave or to vary okay or what you would actually need to
change so that madebe give you an idea of where you need to somewhat but I think setting starting with the Eda I think and looking in that direction maybe they've got boun up off of them and then uh trying to help you narrow down that focus and then I think
we can probably help you make some unless you guys have some other comments no any questions um yeah is there some historical significance to that can reach out for yes I have uh talked with
all the board members of the church and we're going to do a memorial wall inside of the building I mean just I mean is there some historical Grant significance May that you could take be a good contact for that you
think Matt Arington might be a good cont for that for that information yep absolutely um so but I think just this is a good start just to to keep the channels open and try to plan but I think um just our initial talks that we've had I think it's a great it's a
great opportunity and I think it's great for the community so you know back in the uh 60s I'm kind of telling you how old I was but when one of my esteemed colleagues sitting in the back row there when we were in high
school there was the crey in town here and students um we painted it cleaned it to turn it into a youth center and it worked for a while and then I think after we left um it kind of just fell by
the wayside but and that's when the hangout Center in town was primarily the bowling alley which no longer exists so I think this would be a great idea and I have historical connection to that church my grandparents went to church there so I've been in that church a lot
of times and it is a beautiful building so I think we should do whatever I don't know if we need a motion just to support them or just I think so just but um the next Mee so you put it on your Camp
would be um August 26 and I believe we may even have a representative from the county com in that night potentially too so it be a great one for you guys to yeah I think it's a great idea thank you yeah kids need a place to go which we really don't
have yes I know we've talked about some kind of a kids night even you know I brought ultimately going to be mostly wedding yes yeah and I would suggest after you get it up and going or all the things are done you get kids to be a part of your board or to be able to give
input so that because they'll have great ideas okay all right thank you thank you great okay no public hearing ordinances and resolution resolution 2415
this is just a resolution appointing election judges for the primary and general election okay we have a motion to approve so mov second any other questions discussion all in favor I motion is approved Department
reports Bob Care [Music] Center good evening everybody evening beautiful day in July um care Cent report as you see on there um in June our average dropped a
little bit 36.4 I written on there Friday or Thursday that our current cage is 38 however today we are at 40 TI the big four by Friday I'm looking for
43 so we uh the admission process changes that we're making work well uh in June we had 33 uh referrals accepted 15 admitted nine um those that
uh didn't come that we did accept either went somewhere else or passed away that's uh kind of the way our business Works um we did deny 18 um we discharged
nine four went home four passed away and when went to the went to the hospital um of the 18 that we denied many of them were uh not typical nursing home residents
many of them were younger many of them had uh drugs or alcohol problem History of Violence that type of thing the financials for the month uh or I guess we go down to the resident date
there uh January through March we had 3,140 resident days April through June we had 3,441 that will that helps our financials a lot a great deal um sadly
however as you see total operating income for the month was $5,199 uh we had a decrease in census and low Medicare numbers Medicare is obviously our best payer ever uh but the decrease in
census um we had people that came in under hospice and they might have only been there a few days before they passed away uh that turn over uh that pulls the the number average down so it's very
difficult to deal with uh use of agency staff as you can see there in may we had about $118,000 in agency Staffing alone in June it was reduced to $94,000 uh as you see I figure our cost
for those agency staff members and any even if they were hours if they were hours it would be 60% of that uh $118,000 so $771,000 it still would have cost us but the difference in that money
is the amount of money that people don't understand doesn't go to the person that's working it goes to the business that just recruits them and pushes so that's lost money in our book so very
difficult to work with uh the number of new applicants is kind of slowed down now since uh the end of May beginning of June we are creating a Recruitment and Retention plan to improve our situation
which is going to be part of our new facility assessment that uh center for Medicare and Medicaid is uh pushing for all facilities to have um it's become as part of the new rules and regulations
that we deal with uh that will be something that the surveyors can look at when they come in um and hopefully make our life a little bit easier as having it laid out on paper uh see you can see openings there again certified nurse
AIDS full part-time uh position days evenings overnights and every other weekend RNs LPN the same thing I do have three RNs coming from the win program which is an International Nurses
program uh they will come from the Philippines um the out of the nine that I have reviewed I think all but one or two have families that at some point in the next
year or two they will bring over they will bring here as well to live in our community um and they've most of these nurses have worked in many countries in Asia Europe uh
Saudi Arabia is a big uh is a place that a lot of them go and um volunteer work in Africa so they have got a wealth of knowledge they're trained to be ourn in the American way so it's not like you're
dealing with I ran into a gentleman one time and he was a CNA he was going through the CNA class and he was about 40 years old and I look at him and say you're a smart guy so what do you I what do you how did you become a CNA and he
says in my home country he said I'm a doctor where's that he in Nepal he was an actual Mountain doctor and he says the United States doesn't accept any of my credits
in my college so he says I have to start all over again and I said well how was the CNA class going well it wasn't easy I thought wow the doctor healthy it's not easy that's
not a good thing so kudos to all the people that are DNA um and other news uh we've got a family picnic planned uh for Friday August 2nd music by Todd up doll and
3:00 in the hopefully in the parking lot if the weather's nice and a meal at 5:00 indoors um all city council members are invited please RSVP to the nursing home so we can get a
tally uh get everything set up for we're going to have a meal served by Red Leaf uh Cafe I think we get Desserts by NY and I think that's about it uh the
silent auction I have news about that we are still going to have the silent auction uh the money to raise is a new flag pole for a new flag pole kit has been covered by the WIA and the Richland
Legion halls and I thank them very much for that uh we will use that money in another way try I'll try to get that flag B down there this week it come with a flag too wonderful I appreciate it thank
you um if you have any questions concerns no thank than you Bob we have a motion to approve motion to approve it okay motion a second all in favor I motion passes
people service report sh thank you guys hello the month of June was very very busy we have all together I had 17
million g and an extra 1 4 million gallons that I ComEd out of 30 so that tops like is that because of oline huh that because of oline yeah I had 13 inches I
think for the month of of uh June yeah we're way up there um Empire is in town they are televising and cleaning the Northwest side of town um we have found some brok
and pipes and things some some pumps um yeah they uh they're definitely getting after it it's been a while since they've been cleaned so hopefully I'll more news they they to be done with all that by the end of the week and I did there is a sheet I
don't know if you pass or not from Empire um going to the prick it goes from Birch all the way to the pl that it runs along the so there's an issue getting down there
so um it have to get um an easement reel which is going to cost money you know it's a skid loader with the Reel and then they drag The Reel all the way down to the CRI you can't get back it's the
same so that's one of the quotes on that the big so sh and I were talking so that quot is like $116,000 and it's really wet back there and we just don't think that this is the right time to do that project because
we're worried that if they try to do it they're probably going to get St yeah and we don't have equip and we don't really have it in the budget to take care of that we're already spending that in the this year already the other quote the
2020 we believe that that probably should be handled while that is a line that is full of roots and we tried already we camed it ourselves and tried jutting them out it's too thick so it's right on the
corner of division and Cedar so that whole Corner fills up and then the pavement is slowly wasting away from it so um if they could do it while they're here in town they could do it and save this Mobil
mobilization we would get charged for that part of it but this other one we could budget say like next year when they come to the lines if we need or Capital plan for we put it in the capital budget next year yeah and and that's like an excessive like if it took
he says that's worst case that's like the absolute most that they would have to it could be half of that it could be three quars of that that's like the absolute so but I but I would I would I would like the council to approve that
202 well good someone want to make a motion to that I move to accept the bid for $220 for ire second okay motion to Second any questions all in favor I motion passes
you want to communicate with that to him yep I can call are they almost done with the um they're close um because they can't get to the creek so they'll do a few more of those streets from like Cedar and Ash
over and then come back down so it'll be more of the northwest side will be finished so you say they can't get to the cricket just because it's a hate field yeah they were supposed to do that whole up that whole section so that whole section won't be done so they'll
just so it actually runs they'll replace that part with a different part that linear footage and put it somewhere else well so they can see it but it runs from Birch all the way to
Waste Water treatment M and yeah next yellow section okay so they won't be doing this section they'll just take this L linear footage and they'll move it move it to over there kind of where the blue and
the yellow and then this this have to be budgeted for L time okay yeah and maybe you know if we do it next year we'll plan a little bit ahead see if they can cut hay you know we could weed around those and maybe cut around those man
holes down there make a little bit easier to get in out of and hopefully it's dry and then you know if it was last year they would have been a was zip right down there but um but next year if we plan
ahead and get everybody together on I think it would look pretty D so um mrwa will be here I think tomorrow and we are going to camera First Street from Aspen out to the old tile
plant and um there's a manhole right in the middle of that street and it goes straight East um past the backs side the nursing home and that P plant so see if there's
anything leaking I opened it up the other day and yeah you could tell where there was about that much water in there so if it is leaking from the crit that is one good spot it would come in so and that's a free service so I mean you guys pay up yearly to them so so going to do
that one and then go from the cck on Aspen and go south there's two manholes there and nobody knows what the one is there for nobody knows I don't even know what it does so they must have added it in
later in and so that it's right next to the creek so that could be a good place where water comes in too so we're going to do that tomorrow so we can try to find the spots of where I do have one other question for them cleaning the lines how do they
recommend how often to have that done every five years yeah okay yeah Insurance our insurance actually kind of requires us okay and that's why we're on that fiveyear plan of each section and then we'll just stick to that same
rotation so they're all getting done you know every five years so definitely can tell some never been touched and it is it's kind of brutal watching that that cutter go through there trying to cut it off so it's um you can definitely tell
next time around it be way easier for them so a lot of tree roots tree roots lot of um broken concrete broken pile um you can tell where people have patched it up and they would just like lay a cement
block in there and then like some stuff around it there's there's some interesting stuff in there so but if we can get down to the major ones that are busted yeah you know they're they're good 10
foot sections over there that are that are completely busted and off so and all the field manholes that are supposedly supposed to be there are not there so so we we don't know like on
Fourth when you go to go look towards the field here's the line and then it goes up and around like that where they can't get the camera through there to get to the field you know to see if the Field's bringing it water so and you can't find the manle it's it's not
existent unless it's way out there that we don't you know maybe there would have been more houses out there at one time no or going to be you know I mean that is a he Elm you know El yeah it is so it could be way out there but I have looked
and we can't get the camera through there but Paul plates might be able to with his with mrwa they we did it at the school there okay I don't know why yeah I'll keep looking for it but I'll find
otherwise that is about it on that and all we can do is just keep looking for it so it would like Council approve up to $1,500 for a washer dryer combo for the uh Wastewater
Plant to take care of the all the stuff that she has to deal with out there I don't even want go to details I'd like you just [Laughter] Pro you don't want the frustration or what well that be nice I don't have to
throw away cloth sure I move to approve up to $1,500 for a washer dryer combo for the okay motion a second any more questions all in favor motion is approved did that fridge or the thing with ref
Refrigeration ever get fixed buy ice and got the parts ordered for that so yeah so it is fixed or no yet soon to be I'm still still but we're we're still
meeting the uh the perit parameters okay okay thanks Shell do we have a motion to accept her report I'll make a motion okay motion a second all in favor motion is approved Street and
maintenance Eric had another thing that he had been care so he wasn't available tonight but uh really not much um there was a little issue with the sidewalk right by the post office there so uh long story short the catch Bas and there
was a little uh dirt underneath that was falling out so they uh went down and took care of that and patched that all up and John Hall Peter put some new concrete down there took care of that um outside of that everything else looks good um Pearson should be here at the
end of the week or first part of next week to do some seal coating and then they're going to do their fall hydrated flushing here soon and then I know Jody wanted to talk about uh the uh Pavilion out in Legion Field the the legion Pavilion out in Legion Field right uh it
was discussed at our Legion meeting last Monday uh that us and the BFW would go halves but we need a an estimate on cost for needed repairs if I remember correctly and and just shooting from the hip here because I had lots of numbers
go through over the last couple years but I wanted to say it was between the five and 7,000 range I I know it's been discussed before seven is where I think it was the number but I I did text Eric he hasn't text that's very but but I want to say I want to say the
the roof the roofing and everything that needed to be fixed to bring it back up to where it needed to be used was around 7,000 was so this is fixon building the The Pavilion on Legion Field there's a little Pavilion thing that that's it it
is it was donated by the American Legion actually the BFW wasn't the BFW BFW donated from M um so we've got some money so does VFW how about if we just I just go with them up to 10 okay would that be you think that'll cover oh yes
yeah that would cover that would cover the roof and any other structural issues that would be out there and the guys should be able to take care of that wouldn't see that why there would be an issue with that okay over there by the playground area right yeah down on the the South South yeah yeah and I don't
think the C I don't think the council has any concerns about the legion donating the money so yeah I I know it's I know it's one of the things that we've wanted to do and and to take care of but it's never been able to be done but the as long as it gets some you know as long as it's being used I think we should you
know keep it up if not then is it leaking now Tony uh The Roof Is Not Great in great shape but it's not but it it's one of those things that's always been at the bottom of the list because it's not one of the things that gets used on a very regular basis like jod said when there's a huge tournament out there or there's a lot of games going on
it does get used um but it's you know if it is on the low thing but yeah I'd like to recommend that' be a metal roof well and if it's 10 probably could be actually the price is now for a steel roof are not that much different than asphalt yeah we can
look into it would you prefer me Eric get a couple different estimates and just send them to you yep okay okay good thank you Jody I got a question on that project's completed what new city signs were put
up uh the city signs welcome all the new signs outside of town have you driven the best town no yeah I mean I have but I haven't seen the old you're not talking to ones that are like the big ones on there
welcome too brand new they're all brand new no they're all new all three of them three them okay they look like the one in the city park except they're bigger yeah okay I to pay attention can't be talking on your phone when you're driving yeah
yeah thank you okay um did we yeah we need to approve the Street Maintenance report Motion in a second all in favor motion passes unfinished business
garbage recycling uh so I put the final touches on the RFP for the garbage and recycling contract um I was fairly sure that I was okay with it but I did shoot it off to our attorney to take a look at
it he did look it over and said everything looks he was happy with the way that it looks so I just need final approval from the council and then I will I told the companies that um it was going to be to them by August 9th so I'll actually post through our website
by August 9th you said company not company companies and then um so it'll automatically go to Thompson's and waste management and then obviously any other company that chooses to bid on it would be able to bid on it as well um
proposals are due to us November 15th at the latest and then we would obviously award that at budget time so perfect thank you Tony what's the time length of the contract uh three years I think I remember
correctly I was going to do five at first but I thought that was too long for us to negotiate for sounds better yeah okay we don't need any action on that just information oh do you okay we have a motion so move to approve the RFP okay
you second motion and a second all in favor I I motion passes okay on to new business June check register anybody have any questions anything they notice they was done the finances check reg
finan check register there's a few that just don't have descriptions on itat that's chal through the water plant ambulance supplies okay Central Farm Services be gas Orel I do have I
noticed there was a couple of um computer costs and stuff like that is that money taken out of the budget of the amount that we had in some of the Departments for computer expenses explain to me show me a charter
so I can just see what you're talking about are you looking at this one here provider Solutions computer expens it was like $2,000 I think could have beenu thanks oh that was for the that
was for the laptop for the the laptop that they bought but is that over and above what was budgeted or is it was but it was covered by the Grant and then the emergency service F so the charges to State Bank of New Richland of like so
those are so yeah um like a Reconciliation of account so they're they're basically uh so like if we have a if we have
a check that gets returned or something like that it has to be expensed out okay and so there's no vendor for a return check so it's a State Bank in New Richland that's why it shows there so like the 15438 and the
5560 I know return checks and then I the 30 cents and the 5 cents are from some sort of fee from either utility villing or something else but that's why that comes in there you've got a cost of 4870 for April Building Inspections is that
covered by people paying for those inspections we're not paying for them without getting reimbursed per okay one last one the Amazon charges what department are they going to do you know or not not without knowing what was for I'm I'm I'm I'm slowly working with
Heather to try to no I know I to label them more more frequently or effectively with the PD promotion is getting ready for night night stuff I'm assuming y did you actually write a check up for zero
to emergency Auto Tech no so what happened was umy yeah so I hate B I hate the software we're using it has a really bad issue of occasionally doing weird things and so
there was one batch of checks that we went to print that was printed in June this is June yeah these are June checks printed in June but it printed an April 30th check date on the checks so all of our checks say they have to be cashed
within 30 days or they're void and so that was a reissued check gotta so that's what that makes sense yeah now that I see both entries yeah okay we have a motion to approve the checks appr motion second any other questions
or discussion for Tony all in favor motion is approved June financials I'm looking for the one that I was said page three that's all oh other pay
3661 what was that for right no and the bottom of page three it's June column other oh other pay is the normal pay oh okay so that's just how it was
that's how it was has always been quoted so we have three pay functions for the ambulance one is one is director salary one is um medical training salary and one is
other pay other pay is just the normal everybody volunteer that's the pay for I was cu thought it was I'm not say such a big it was that big it probably yeah yeah okay thank you and that's just the way that it was originally quoted so that's just it's so the state of
Minnesota has a the way that they code every or it's just a ro it's a general code document and so there's only like 10 numbers that can be used for wages and salaries and there's only this money that can be used for that and so that's why I set up
that okay we have motion to approve the financials just motion to approve financials have a second I'll second it okay motion a second any other questions all in favor I motion is
approved down to miscellaneous I apologize I made an error um this meeting is actually on the 19th Monday August 19th 2024 at 6:30 p.m. so the county wanted
to bring everybody together just to talk about um the cannabis legislation and kind of I think what they're hoping for is to get us all on the same page as far as um just ordinances and maybe uh how
we're going to Zone it and things like that so um they've invited uh City nland Jamesville Walder uh just to an informational meeting so I will be on vacation so I will not be able to attend um Janda is going to be gone as well so

option I'm what day of the week is Monday Monday and I I'm assuming that since we all have the same attorney I'm assuming our attorney probably will be at that meeting as well so discuss discuss okay thank you administrator's report

what's the uity it cost us that much they want to charge us to tell us what to charge with their customers what's 16,000 to do with the utility that's your okay okay we have a motion to approve the administrator's
report I move to accept the city administrator's report a second okay a motion in a second any more discussion all in favor I I okay mayor and Council comments anything from anyone I have two
things one is if you haven't had a chance to look at this um there's some good information and shell you should probably look at it too be you did you get one because they do talk about um budgeting for and where to get money and funding
grants all kinds of things for um an aging water infrastructure and that's what we have so we have a lot of we have a lot of expenses coming up and we hope that what shell does in the main time to
keep things working nothing else goes wrong but I think we're doing all the things that we can do but there's this a good article in here there's also a good article from the city manager from Jamesville in here also so it's good
information to read um so you can stay updated on what's happening in Minnesota um and the final thing is um all good things must come to an end sometimes and uh so I'm submitting my
resignation as mayor um due to health issues and um moving closer to my family um which I'll be doing next week so couple things you need to think about someone who you want to
be intro mayor for the next four months or so and also since I serve on the U Care Center board we probably should elect someone to take that position as well yeah so I guess what I would like I need
a motion to accept Lauren's resignation um and then uh we'll need to either choose to appoint somebody tonight or we can do that at a different meeting or you know Jan is the Deputy
Mayor so we can move forward to that or we can appoint somebody immediately tonight to serve in that spot and then we can draft a uh resolution of a council opening for the next meeting and we start moving that process forward as
well whatever Council chooses to do first motion to accept Lauren's presentation second relocked leave second any more discussion questions all in favor
I okay so what's your pleasure for question on discussion does the deputy mayor have any objections if she I don't um I don't have an objection to it but if somebody else is wanting to as well
that's fine too but I have no problem doing that for the next four months you probably need another check sign also as far as discussion I have no objections if she wishes to take your place for the next four
months ation it's not that's part of Comm discussion if there's anything if if any of the other two members wanted to raise their hand and say hey you want to do it motion I'll second make a motion I move to appoint Janda as the into the
from deputy mayor or how would you say that intam mayor intam mayor position I'll second okay we have motion a second any more discussion all in favor I I motion passes congratulations you with Tony in charge it's an easy
job he does a excellent job so so does it allow you then to post so what'll happen now is that on at the next meeting there will be a uh since since jand has been appointed to the mayor spot that forces in the vacancy for her
Council position so there'll be a resolution um that you will adopt declaring a vacancy of her Council spot and then once that resolution is adopted we will be able to allow letters of interest from people and then we can
make an appointment to her uh Council spot so that is how we will proceed from there okay so other than that I don't think there's any other business yeah I'll be the second s oh yeah that's that is
something that you should probably attack jod did say that he's in town quite a bit so it would be nice since Janda does work out of town and jod is in town for the most part most of the day I would appreciate it if if Jody would be available motion needed or not
yeah it needs to be like a motion we make Jody the second C for any Financial stuff second okay discussion all in favor congratulations Jody
yeah out rer gr yeah sometimes there's a lot sometimes there's not many you have the Care Center checks to sign too okay any other business before the council motion need a motion to adjourn move to
adjourn all second okay all in favor I motion is or meeting is adjourned at 7:23
