All right. So, is is Dawn on there? Can you see her? >> Um, not yet. She's only >> Oh, she says, "I might be late as I find the Zoom in." Okay. >> Oh, there she is. >> She's there. Okay,
>> there she is. >> Right. So, she is there. She's joining. Cool. door. >> That might be Jeff or Marie. >> Oh, Maria's making it. >> All right. Hello.
>> I I'm showing off that that I got this far. >> Okay. >> So, we don't know what else we're going to do with it. Yeah, but not that far. I got plugged in and um ju Jason just told us that I can just give Justin the parks and trails information and but we're not
sure that we're like going to do stuff on it right now for minutes. But anyway, I just thought I'd show you guys that. But I think what I wanted to do is I wanted to go and pull up the November minutes.
>> So she's joining twice. So I believe Don is in New York maybe joining us today. So >> she should be on.
>> Yeah, she said she found it. All right, fantastic. So Jeff should be joining us. Um so I guess we can call to order at 703. Um
and then our roll call here. Should we get real fancy and and I read your name and you say here? Sure can. >> All right. Hello. Welcome. All right. So Katie Dudley, I'm here. Um, can I just I
don't know. Justin Black, are you here? >> N Bergam, >> Kevin McDerman, >> Jeff Mangasen, >> Joy Bzinger. Uh, Don Littleton is here via Zoom, so you could make note of that on there.
Um, and Jason is here. Uh, Kane is not here. Lorie is here. >> Um, Ryland let me know he was not going to be able to come. And then Lance is not here. So, this is wonderful. Welcome everybody. It's December. Oh my
goodness. Here we go. Right. All right. Um, so I followed along here. So, we are looking for um an approval of our
>> Sorry, that was >> it's okay. All right. So, what I should do is follow along from this, which looks like what I'm seeing on my screen. Okay. So, I apologize. Your agenda that you received via email is just slightly different, but not a lot different than
what is in front of you printed out. So, um, so we'll just kind of go from there if you guys are okay with that. So, how Steve, how do you say your last name? >> Sherry. >> Okay. >> Just just as it's spelled, >> right? Just as it's spelled. Wonderful. So, Steve Sherry is here from the
Oronoko Lions Club. Um, and he'll visit with us in a little bit. So, we had a meeting in November and I did mention to Jason that we couldn't find it online. So, I was trying to find it online, but we didn't see it there.
Um, so the biggest thing in our meeting minutes for November was Steve Sherry was here to visit with us about next.com. And so that is something that we'll get
an update on today. Um, age friendly or inokco October 25th cleanup. They only had one couple that they helped. Um, they were trying to figure out another way to um, get the word out. Is it always going to be the end of
October? Is that probably >> kind of talked about doing a spring possibly spring clean up also? >> Well, so we'll have to decide later. We can bring that up in unfinished business. >> I like it. All right. And then um Oridonokco did not receive the grant
from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation. So we're still looking for different grants. And then for a couple parks, we're awaiting budget decisions for trail construction. Um the fence on the previous lake bed will be installed in the spring of 2026.
Um we're hoping. And then um more awaiting budget decision at Riverwood Hills. But so the cedar tree surrounding the bench needed need to be trimmed. Was that addressed with the public works staff? >> Um >> or maybe not.
>> I did send an email to a heard any response. >> Right. Okay. So you did mention it to him. >> Yep. >> Um is it a matter of like they're just overgrowing? >> Yeah, they're kind of overgrown. Have you seen that Marie? And
>> yeah, it needs a little >> swingy. >> Yeah. Oh, and it's a swingy one, too. >> Yeah. >> So, Jason, is that something any of us could almost do or not really?
>> No, we'll have them follow. What park was it at? >> Oh, Riverwood Hills. >> Yeah. >> Okay, I'll follow it again. >> Fantastic. Yeah. No, >> it was just to bring it to his attention. He probably knew about it. I
was not trying to >> tell him what his job role is or anything. Just ask. >> We were just mentioning something that you saw. No worries. I like it. Thank you. All right. And then um
then and then new business that we'll we'll talk about is spring of 2026 to discuss different u meeting locations that we should do. Um and then uh the meeting was adjourned at 7:44 by Lee and Jeff second. So the motion
carries. So those are the November minutes. Do we have any additions, subtractions, any comments on that? >> I'd like to make a motion to approve the minutes. >> Okay. the November
3rd, 2025 minutes. >> I'll second that. >> Great. Fantastic. All those in favor say I. >> I. Same sign. >> All right. Motion carries. Fantastic. All right. So, um, our current meeting
agenda for today. Um, do we have any additions or subtractions that you guys would like to add to this? >> I just have one correction on number nine.
>> Okay. >> Next meeting date should be January 5th, 2026. >> Yes. I'm pretty sure. Did I even include any of it? All right. Yes. >> Yep.
>> And you said we could under new business. Could I put age friendly cleanup or do you want to wait till February or March? >> Um, you know, age friendly can be totally separate. It doesn't have to be part of the plan. >> That is true. So, you'll let us know. We
were just age friendly was just really here to help with a park survey, not to be part of the parks. >> That is fair. I like it. All right. We do like to support you guys, too. All right. Um All right.
Do you guys like what the agenda looks like? Anybody want to make a motion to >> motion to approve the uh current meeting agenda. >> Great. Fantastic. I'll second. All right,
here we go. Okay, so Steve, I have you under um a couple things down here. So, >> we got approve. >> Oh my gosh, we have to do all the things. Okay, all those in favor say I. >> I oppose. Same sign. Okay, motion
carries. All right. Thank you. >> All right, we all official. Love it. Okay. So, I don't know that we have any public forum things to do. So, we can we can go right to the adopt a bench program. Um,
we should kind of be calling that the next trips and um I've been really impressed with uh the the surveying of the communities that we've done. Um that is
really amazing and Steve, I think you've been you've been on those emails, too, right? >> Okay. Tickled seeing what you guys have been able to do. That's pretty amazing. >> Yes. >> It's going to go close.
>> Yes. So, when I was looking at over today, does anyone know what it's like to weigh a bag of eggs? Oh, can you explain that a little bit more or does Steve know? >> So, I don't know specifically. Um,
the guy in Cassen, I think he's got some kind of a scale that he can hang a bag on. So, like a >> a luggage a luggage scale. >> Yeah, luggage scale. Something like that. Um but in general uh what he mentioned is if you take a large lawn
leaf bag and stuff it pl full plastic you're going to have about 10 pounds. So you know it's not it can be a big bag and it just you're not going to be weighing large amounts um >> or small amounts.
>> Right. Right. You're you're gonna want you're you're not going to want to take in five bread bags kind of thing. >> Right. So, that's what I was finding interesting is when I was looking at this, they literally say you weigh the bags and take a picture of that and then
you can take it to HY. And I don't know that we'd want to be taking Have we visited with Hy that this would be something that we would bring to them. I was thinking that they had a the way that you discussed that they had a
recycling program already that they take that in. >> They do. And when I when I typically go there, I just have like three small grocery bags of things, you know. So, if we are bringing a 10 pound bag, like we're going to fill the thing right away. >> It does say on that website that if you
have bigger bags to contact, I believe it was to contact Heidi, >> right? contact the store and maybe maybe even find out which store would want to accept it because there might be different facilities at each store.
>> I would if I were you, I'd check with the closest one, the one in West Circle, right? >> Yeah. and um >> make arrangements to I think if I understood Marth Cassin correctly they've been in contact with them and
they've got somebody they can call and they can come around to the backside drop off bigger bags instead of you know the I've seen I know the collection box you're talking about. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You don't want to leave that in the way of the building.
>> No. So, I think the right thing to do is to get in contact with them and see if there is a contact person or a manager or somebody or someone that I don't know the specifics, but >> is it better for us to just do that on our own or do we ask Mark and Cassiden
about it? >> Um, they are working directly with Hi and Cassen. >> Well, that's great. Hi and Kassen. That's totally different than Hi and Rochester. I mean, not totally different enough. >> It's different. different management, different >> That's true. Okay.
>> So, the thing to do is to contact >> and I believe each store probably is u has a different coordinator or something. >> True. And so Joy and I were were going to mention today that it would be good if we had like a a sign up, you know,
for like somebody being in charge of certain weeks or something like that. But how what is our timeline on this? Like how is that going to work? Is it kind of up to us as a parks committee? >> I think that's kind of how we'd left. I think >> right, >> we're getting the part just a little bit
ahead of the horse here. I think we were gonna go out and see how many businesses were interested first of all, >> right? >> And see what the feedback was from the businesses. Okay. Is this going to be, you know, nothing against what you're doing? I'm just going to be a devil's
advocate here. Is this going to be enough to generate, you know, enough plastic to get, you know, we'll get one bench a year unless we go to other businesses. So, I just got to I think we got to as a group decide, okay, can we get enough plastic to do this first of all?
>> Then if we can, then we can go from there as far as contacting people. But we have to have a plan ourselves on how we're going to coordinate this because you got how many businesses here? you know, you're going to have to coordinate them getting plastic set aside, picking it up, getting to the same point, and
then getting it to HIV. That's how I kind of look at it. >> That's that's kind of what I was thinking, too. So, 52 weeks in a year, right? I figure we'd have to have two bags of 10 pounds, so 20 pounds a week,
right? Did I do my math right? Um, so we'd have to do that. So if we as a committee decided that's what we're going to do. We're going to take it in weekly these 20 pounds that means I would think we would want to have a
commitment of four people that would say you know I'll take this week and I'll go and stop at all the businesses pick all this stuff up and then take it in. If we don't think we have that full commitment
and the amount of plastics like what you said, Lee, is it really worth it? The other option that I had sent an email to Katie is to say, could we get if that
gives us one bench, is there another way to go about it? Could we send the adopt a bench to the businesses saying we're trying to generate for them to help with one
bench. So if you have 10 bench or 10 businesses and $40 each that they put in, we could have a bench without the amount of work. I'd like to keep it out of um the garbage. That's what I'd like
to see them recycle, but I also have to be realistic like you said, Leah, and I think that's where we started. >> No, it's a great program. I keep it. It does take a coordinated ongoing effort. >> This is something that, you know, I'll
be honest, I've been on 30, 40 committees like this and after six, seven months, you know, >> she's gone. So that's I think it's great. I want to keep it out of the recycles, too. I'd love to do
it. But then again, like Marie had come up with, we basically if we have an adopt a bench, somebody writes us out a check, we get a bench, we're kind of done with it. >> But I like your idea. Maybe we do one a year with this and work another option.
I did have one business out of the ones I contacted. I won't say, but they say, "Do I get that bitch?" Oh, the business wanted the bench. >> Yeah. So, it's like I said, well, you're you'll get some notoriety of some sort that you've donated plastic towards it,
but are we going to get that, too? Or a business going to say, you know what, I gave all this plastic. I want that out in front of my business. I don't know. >> So, they could What were the options when I looked that up? It's community or organization. >> So, if they're really that excited about
it, they could they could sign up. I'm Oh, really? Uh, can you hear me? This is Dawn. Can you hear me? Okay, Katie, can you hear me? Oh, yes. Okay, then I I guess I can't hear you. Um, the five places I visited
were like, oh, anything to recycle like this, like this kind of like we're like, this will help us. It was like a win-win. Um, I don't think they were looking at I mean, I know every business is different, but it didn't seem like they were the ones I visited were like, "Oh, anything to get help us, you know,
be good to the environment and get rid of our trash in another way will be good." And I I know that's initial enthusiasm, but I I felt like they were the ones I talked to were in the spirit of it right away. Um, and I think you can get one bench a year if you're in
the program. And um I guess for the businesses who want the bench themselves that they they are happy to you know I mean I'd say that this is you know we represent the parks and trails and so what we're doing is for parks and trails but if you'd like to do it on your own
that's fine you know that's I mean I don't think we need to partner with a business that wants the bench for themselves because that's not we're not representing the business. But anyway, I I just had only eagerness um with the people I talked to.
>> And And what are you guys envisioning? Like would the business have a a cardboard box where they would collect what they have or or did you did it get that far? >> You kind of recommended or not having collect
>> sitting around the community. I don't think you would want >> everything. Did you think would be okay if we just had a collection? >> Give them a, you know, it's controlled. It's that plastic should be generated or collected within, you know, their
regular doing business. >> Yeah. It's not asking customers to put it in there. >> No, they wouldn't want to make sure that they understand that that we don't want you to go out and ask for um their customers to bring plastic in. Now, am I
allowed to collect stuff, put it in if I'm especially if I'm one of the people that bring it in, but >> you need Yeah, you have to follow the instructions pretty carefully because it sounded like there's a there's a big issue if they collect um um polyethylene
film that was on meat products. Now, that's that's going to be >> So, everybody has to be aware of all the rules for collecting it. Otherwise, you got a sorting problem. Maybe we can print out the sheet that has what's acceptable for the the businesses and provide it to them or email it to them
somehow. >> Right. >> It's on the website, but it was kind of hard to find. >> Um, so how much are these benches like outright? >> 400 bucks. >> Like so if I want to buy this bench 400 bucks or is it 400? >> $400. >> Because I had a couple of people reach
out saying they'd actually be willing to donate on their behalf. So, I just want to make sure we're not thinking about one bench a year in one style versus maybe giving an option for people to donate in memory or in honor of someone um in a different style because I know
we wanted kind of that uniform look as well. Um so, we just need to make sure we're same bench, same style, whatever that's like too, I think. I there something else um
to throw in here when we're writing grants the fact the the fact that we I mean if we do this and I realize it's a feasibility issue which we haven't decided yet but one of the benefits besides getting the bench and helping with the environment and with at a c
some cost of labor to ourselves but when when grants are written this would be a good um plus you know what what do we do you know for social good. Well, you know, we recycle or you know, we we get a bent by recycling plastics from
community businesses and that would be like an extra plus when you're writing grants for to get money for the parks. >> Well, yeah, it's a good thing to add to the resume. Is that what you're saying? >> Well, it's it'll be because I'm usually grants say, "What else are you doing to
show that you're community centric or whatever or that you you care about the community?" And that that would just be a paragraph under that section. >> Of the businesses that I contacted, it didn't sound like they would have much plastics
to that they would generate. I was really excited about Dollar General because when I was there, I could see this cart with all the plastics that they were putting their stuff in. And then I c t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t talked with the manager and she
said they use those plastics to recycle for their own um shopping. So they have to send it back to the main place. Um so I don't know. I I believe
Ryland was going to contact Casey's because that would be another good business that would have the overwrap. I contacted Casey's and they were they were right on board. >> Oh yes, there you are. Okay. >> Dakota was excited. What I got a kick
out of on these was Dakota Dakota said let's see where is it? Why can't I see it? >> From the bottom. >> Thank you. Dakota said yes. And if we proceed contact Nicole. I like that. So we know which person is really going to be our
>> Yeah, they they were all Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, and they I mean I I can understand that you know maybe uh Dollar General, you know, some places will have their own situation. I mean, of course they will. Um I think places like uh Shad
Tracy, Casey's um will produce like Shad Tracy will have a lot of plastic wrapping uh probably I'm guessing every week. I mean it's hard to say how much. Um but I mean on the other hand if it doesn't you
know after like a month and there's you know we collect five pounds maybe this is not a good idea. >> What what was your experience at two sisters? You said you visited with the host but >> um she she I mean it was funny. You know
I walk in I say who I am and I'm with the parks and I show them the poster of what we would like to collect for a bench and they were like this is great. of course we'd like to participate. And then they and then like, well, who should we talk to, you know, when it comes time? And they they each gave me a
name. And she, the host, I don't know what her name was, but she gave me the name of the I don't know if he was community manager or something or operations manager. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, I'm I mean, I don't know how many
businesses we need. So, it's like if it's 20 pound per week, is that correct? So if you can collect more than 20 pounds a week, you could also, you know, get your,000 pounds for your organization to get one. Talk to the
Lions, talk to the churches, talk to other businesses, have them >> use their name for the next collection. They don't have to take it in themselves. You just sign up another another entity >> to be the donators. So getting too much
plastic um I don't think is going to be a problem. >> Be not enough. Is it >> I think and I think probably within a month we would know if there's not enough. >> Say that again. Don >> I think we would know in a month if
there's not enough plastic that's going to be generated. >> Oh okay. >> Maybe a couple months. >> Yeah need of Africas. >> Yeah. I mean, I guess what I'm trying to say is if it doesn't work, we don't have to keep doing it for a year.
>> Oh, right. Right. Well, and what do you think the um You don't know what the timeline would be for getting accepted to the program, >> right? >> Did you just sign up? >> I think you just sign up. >> I think I thought they you tell them the date, the year.
>> Tell them when. Okay. And is this something we have to get approved by city council? I don't think so. I mean, especially since it's donation. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, it's not like we have to bring it in front of consult. >> We could bring it as an awareness that
we're going to try for it. Um >> Okay. >> It's a project you guys are working on doing. And >> could we have a donation box here for residents to donate? >> Get a box set up. >> I don't know. Supposedly, we're supposed to
>> if we if we make up a really thorough flyer first and we set that box right where someone is always at, >> right by Jason's office. >> Would you just love a box of plastic outside your door? >> Jason, is that clean or dirty?
>> Tire hazard is all in here. >> Well, I would think something like that would be better off in the parking lot so people could just drive up and dump dump it off that they don't need to. Perfect. Did you hear that, >> Don? >> I did not hear that.
>> Everyone moaned and groaned. They were nervous as to what people would drop off. >> Okay. >> But, um, Don, I'm very used to, you know, bringing my stuff to the H high bin. So, and and if we did actually have
a dropbox here, you know, you would have a clear a clear plastic bag so that it'd be easy to look through whoever collects things. But, um I I mean I I think it's really neat how how interested the community is and and
I think it'd be worth a try, but is it something that we want to try to start not right away or how do we want to do this or What are you guys thinking? You guys have been thinking about it longer than me. >> What's the Lions Club involved in?
>> So, the Orco Lions, this is not a project that we may collect plastic amongst ourselves to donate as part of this, but we aren't going to, we don't have enough manpower or resources to really jump in and help this.
>> Yeah. To be one of the pickeruppers. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Right. And >> that may change if we can if you know of anybody that's interested in some more community service. We're looking for members. And
>> so I feel like if we do get this program started, we have to have one person be a contact to be on the information for a business for like if a business gets overwhelmed, we're not going to tell them to call city hall because that's not fair. So, I know I
>> I mean, um I've done a lot of community stuff. I mean, I'd be happy to be the contact person as as long as that doesn't mean I'm doing everything, but I'd be happy to be the conduit to other resources. >> Okay, that'd be great, Don. Thank you.
All right, so what do you Kevin, you were going to say something? I just thought of something out of the clear blue and I um would it behoove us to contact um boat boat places? They shrink wrap their boats.
>> Yeah. >> I just thought of that. It just came to me. I was like >> these these businesses, they shrink wrap their boats and it's like it's coming off sometime. >> Yeah. >> That's a lot of >> Lions Club has got a some kind of a liner. I don't know if that plastic's
acceptable or not, but but that's, you know, be that'd be about 300 lb a year. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It'd be interesting to find out, I guess. >> Well, so far we haven't been able to reuse them. >> Oh, >> they end up with rips and tears and >> Okay.
And that's and that's placed on the black top or is that placed on a wood surface? >> It's it's on the black top out here. >> It is right on the black top. The liner is Okay. Mhm. >> So, it' be mostly clean. That's what I'm thinking. >> Should be pretty clean,
>> right? >> Well, >> I know. >> That's I I don't know. We'd have to try to figure out and find out is the plastic acceptable. So, we could probably get a scrap of it, >> right? We could figure that out because
let's see. Yeah. It's pretty cool, though. I don't know. What are you guys thinking? I just think if we do it, then we're committing to that style of bench, which I'm not opposed to. I just want to make sure like we're thinking about if this is what we're going to try, then we need
to be committed to that bench to put in other places. Even if this doesn't work, then we'd have to go back and ask people to donate, which we could do that, too. I just want to make sure we're thinking about the longevity of what the the look and the style will be. I like it. I but
I just want to make sure we're thinking about that versus we're triing it doesn't work or we get one and then we want a different style and then we're kind of in that space that we're at now. We have a mismatch of lots of different benches all over the place. >> Can that bench be purchased through TX?
Does anybody know that? Like if somebody was just to buy one. >> That's why I was wondering how much it was. >> Aren't those the ones that are $400? >> Well, that's with the program. So, I don't know if they give a discounted rate or not.
>> Well, when you when you say it's with the program, meaning I thought I thought a,000 pounds was a free bench. >> Yeah, but we're just trying to figure out if we could buy those benches outright without the program. >> So, if we only get one a year, we're going to need more than a year.
>> So, where did the $400 come from? >> That was a number we got last meeting, I believe. I think Steve, you shared that. I think I saw that >> from Pre. >> It's on the bench recycling donation.
>> Says the value of the bench is >> 400 something. >> But can we purchase it? Can we if we don't want to donate the plastic? Can we just buy the bench? >> Reaching out and um seeing about donations, it'd be good. Um no, >> maybe businesses don't want to save
plastic. Just would rather write a check. I don't know. I mean, that could be >> like um for mine the I went to five and they were all uh eager to be part of it. >> Yeah. And I think it's a great idea. I just want to make sure we're not getting
one bench a year in one style and then we're trying to get more potentially more expensive benches for the other ones that we need so that they all are uniform. Again, I don't know if the 400 is we could buy it outright or if it's with
the program. I don't know. >> Your benches probably won't be right adjacent to one another instead of bleachers. They'll be spread out and >> if they're similar, it probably will work. >> Maybe some of those businesses will be happy to pay for a fancier different
kind of premium bench. >> No, all hodge podge. >> It It does look a lot like the bench that's at um Orinoa Park right now. >> The swinging bench. No, just a normal one. It's just
>> Yeah. No, I've seen Yeah. >> Yeah. But yeah, it's like Lowe's has them. I think they kind They're about 379 at Lowe's. >> That looks pretty similar, doesn't it? >> I just wasn't sure about the seat on the
bench having that kind of like Do you have another tab of >> I think that's the same thing. >> Yeah. Island Lumber even has a saying on here. >> Those trucks benches.
>> Is that a truck bench? >> Yep. So maybe maybe we can come back in January with the information. Here would be a bench that we could purchase that would look like it. This is how much it would cost. These are the
benches. Looking at >> I'm looking at >> I'm looking at Lowe's sells TX outdoor furniture yacht club. Looks like a bench for $4.49 and another from Lux Decor. Trex outdoor furniture yach club
recycled for$479. So I mean I guess it would be good to know the I don't know if these are park benches. Um, but yeah, and I and if you want to if you want to send the questions to me, I'll be happy to be the contact person with TX if you know just to have one person call them
in call it in. >> Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, Don, maybe just message them and see it if we wanted to buy it outright just so we could get the style or the because it doesn't give any >> like measurements or anything on there.
Yeah. Can you do you mind emailing me exactly what you want to know, please? >> Sure. >> Thank you. I mean, just so that you know, so that I don't come back with an answer and you're like, well, how tall are they? >> Yep. >> Thank you.
>> Pine Island been having good luck with theirs. Are they durable? And >> oh, Cassin, sorry. >> Yeah. Yeah. C Pine Island's also doing that. Um, >> so if you wanted to see what the benches look like, they are around in Pine Island. Um, uh, Kassen is I think
I think they were at either 29 or 39 benches that they put out so far and they're very they're out in the elements all the time. And it's TRE stuff, so it's >> shouldn't pay. It should be fairly resistant to that. >> But they haven't earned 30 benches free.
>> They haven't earned 30 benches from the program >> over individual businesses. They just >> Exactly. I think you mentioned this last time. They'll have a list of all of the businesses that have contributed and they just sign up the next >> Right. Well, they do some sort of
coordination. So once Alliance gets a bench bench that takes I think they're looking at is it a month to to two months to or two months to two to three months to get a,000 pounds with what they've got. They've got um a carpet
store, you know, all the there's a few more retail businesses there that in Kassin, but so they are getting in the neighborhood of four four benches a year with the free just from the uh collected
plastic and they will maybe have a church do one of them or you know something else. So, >> what color are they? You get to pick. >> Uh I don't know. You're asking girl questions. >> I just wonder that to your email to
color. >> Yeah. Because like is it something you choose or do they >> Why don't you put that down as a question? >> Why don't you put that down the color as a question for the company? >> Um put together or do you have to put them together which isn't a big deal.
>> You can put them. >> Okay. >> Put it in the >> Wait, please. I like it. I like it. Okay. Um I kind of agree that I'm excited about this, but do I really
want to do it in December? Do we want to start in December or do we want to start in January? What would we >> I think we need a few more questions. >> I I agree. >> We don't have to get started yet.
>> No, I think we have more questions. We need have Don contact them, ask about the cost, what what it looks like. >> I know what the mechanics are. >> Yeah. >> And I don't think trucks provides
bo collection boxes either. >> No. >> It takes something like a leaf bag to stuff, >> right? Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. >> All right. And I think Lee, I think a couple of the businesses you talked to,
they said they would put out, you know, just garbage thing >> in their own place to collect it. Yeah. We still come and get it. >> Just stop picking them. >> So, you know, that's the next step is who collects it.
>> Yeah. there will be a little bit of churn um with the businesses to go take a look at their plastic, make sure they're put putting the right stuff in and right, >> you know, just little training once you first start. >> And I park at the Northwest Clinic every
day and so West Circle IV is like a mile from there. So, I mean, I can shuffle plastic over that should be a big problem for me. So, I could do that, >> right? So, it could even be a matter of some of us signing up to bring it to
>> the very you don't have to go to the businesses because you're in town business. >> But >> Oh, yeah. >> Interesting. >> Um, so I know that we're going to be getting a luggage a luggage scale.
Luggage scale, right? >> Yeah. Either that or I don't know if you can use your home scale. >> Step on it. You step you just have to record. You don't have to have a or do you have to take
picture? >> They they want a picture. >> I don't know if they want a picture of the scale or picture of the bag. I They wanted >> So we're going to add that to our question. >> What type of document is proof? >> Yeah. So, that would be a question. Don, if
you're going to ask them, how would >> Please email it. Please email it to me. >> Yeah, Marie Marie's writing it up right now. I can see. >> Okay. Okay. Good. So, so what's the question? >> We're gonna we're gonna ask them what is >> we would like an example of what they
want us to submit in order to prove that we're donating a certain amount of plastic. >> That's part of the thing. Great. >> Does that make sense, Don? >> Yep. >> Is it possible to even get someone from
passing come in and visit with us? >> Sure. Ask >> that's done it and they can say this is how we coordinate it. >> I mean I to me that's would be helpful too. So we get somebody that's telling >> here's their system, this is how they
do. >> If you want I can reach out. >> I mean that's just a thought. Are you okay to do that for us? >> I can reach out or I can send you guys the name, but I can talk to Mark first. I'm almost certain he'd be happy to come and tell you. >> Who do you think's in charge of it?
>> I mean, I question. >> I could ask people out there. >> Yeah, I have to. I'm not sure who that. >> Do you think it's a Lions member though? >> Yep. The Lions Club has been collecting the plastic fores there.
All right. I have to ask around and find out. >> Sure. >> Okay. Um All right. Do we have anything more that we want to discuss on the next tracks? That's hard to see. >> I'm just Whoever asked or suggested
about the boat wrap. I I I see here the plastics they accept. Um do you know what kind of plastic the boat wrap is? >> I have no idea. I just just I just thought that that just to me that's a
pile of plastic and I don't know if that's we find out that >> okay they wrap water bottles. >> Okay. I was just cur I was just curious and I I can ask them to >> tell it it's a probably a wrap that they put
over and they heat it up and it's it shrinks down. >> Um so probably similar to that water bottle. So, it's going to be put around there and it heats it up or sucks down. >> Yeah, >> it says it's polyethylene. It's most likely recyclable. >> Pardon?
>> It's uh polyethylene and it's there's a couple different kinds. There's low linear and low density or linear low density polyethylene, LDPE and LLDPE. Not going to get into the science of Google. I'm just reading what I see right here. But it looks like cursory
glance probably. Yes. More info. Well, yeah. Good. Maybe. My understanding is if it's kind of plastic you can push your finger in and it kind of stretches, that's the kind of stuff they do. >> Um, but if it's a crinkly kind, you know, the gift um gift basket wraps,
that stuff that kind of crinkles and stuff, that's no good. >> Oh. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. >> More bread bag than potato chip bag. >> Exactly. >> Got to be labeled as number two or number four. I don't know what that says. >> Yes. I know that the little triangle
>> polyethylene labeled two or four is the only one that are >> okay polyethylene number two or >> that stuff's not labeled. >> No, >> maybe a stretcher out >> somewhere before it gets in a box. It's labeled. >> Are there any food distribution
warehouses in >> there is >> they use a ton of ice work for Cisco. But we use a ton of that kind of plastic wrap. And I mean garbage bins full of that like weekly.
So it's another the similar style wrap to the bow wrap. >> Sam's Club, Walmart, anywhere else pal. >> Yeah. >> You see it there? >> What would be is how big of an area do you want to try and collect from? Yeah. >> I'm just saying those big box areas,
those are going to be ones where you're going to get bulk. So >> Costco. >> Yeah. Costco. Costco. Yeah. >> Then you got a day up in it, too. >> And everybody's throwing garbage in on
top of it. Then you got a mess. >> That is mentioned that you could be a next next trucks collector and have a trailer and a bor and all things. >> Wow. >> I know. Let's work on one bench.
>> All right. Does anyone have anything more to say about XRX? >> Okay. So, >> it's exciting. >> What? >> Exciting. >> Yeah, it is. >> Thank you. >> All right. Um, Marie, I meant to send
you a note, >> but maybe Jason knows, too. Did we have anything in the council city council meeting last time? Right. Okay. And I don't And so far we don't have anything that we're going to send there this time. I don't think >> I'll just send them an aart or we were
going to ask for more information or once we know we're going to either do it or not. I'll just put it as a notation for them so they have that awareness. But >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. I think it would be kind of neat to to visit with people that have done it before to get an idea of what to
expect. I like that. Um just one update. I'm sure everyone is aware, but we'll have the final we have a um one more budget workshop tomorrow evening and then the um budget will go forward on the 11th city council for final
approval. >> The meeting you have tomorrow is is that a closed meeting? >> It's a workshop. >> A workshop. >> So no no decisions but looking at budget trying to cut them down. >> Okay. Okay. And then December 11 will be
the official >> December 11 will be something >> 16th. >> Oh, sorry. >> December 16th >> will be >> 16th. Yeah. >> A city council meeting that has the budget or >> that's the truth and taxation meeting. >> Truth and taxation meeting.
All right. >> And what what does that really mean? It's where we talk about the proposed taxes for next year and everything required by state statute >> and then that goes to the county or something and then to the state. No.
>> Well, they vote on the the tax levy and the budget for next year that gets approved by council and that gets sent off to the county to >> right >> finalized for taxes for next year. >> Okay. >> All right.
Um so next in line uh Steve Steve Sherry is here to let us know that the Lions Club would like to propose to adopt um Oronco Park near the previous lake bed. So Steve, what can you tell us more about that? I did notice in Pine Island
they have a big sign on trail head now that says Lions Lions Club Park. So >> many if you drive around in other cities, I didn't notice this until I became a Lion, but quite a few other cities have a Lion's Park someplace. >> So we the Orco Lions would like to
partner with the city and adopt um Orco Park um and asked to be renamed Orno Alliance Park. What we would like to um partner with the city on is some of the development stuff. Maybe some more
benches for there. Maybe um the thing we kind we're just brainstorming ideas. Um maybe a new big toy for kids to play on. Kind of turn or no park into a destination, something that would have a big draw for more people to go and use.
And um something like that. our club has been able to we've been very fortunate everybody participating in the plague program and supporting us on uh at Gold Rush and everything that the community does to help us out. Um as we raise
money we'd like to um if this works we'd like to figure out some way to budget or partner with um the city or parks and trail what kind of improvements we could put in there. Um we we planted a tree
this year. not much, but was a a white white pine tree planted in the in front of the the pavilion kind of thing there. Um, so we just wanted to ask if if you would consider that or
what would we need to do to make this happen. Um, the signage and stuff. There was one concern that somebody uh, one of the Lions members brought up a map. When you look at the map for Oronoko Park, it says Oronoko State Park. Is that still a
state park or is it a city park? >> We've tried several times to get them to change that and it just there's to no avail. So, it is a city park. >> Okay. >> Um, >> so it's just a name. It's not a state
park. It's not run by the Minnesota DNR. >> It's mislabeled on the on the map. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, um >> it's no issue on our part then. We just wanted to make sure that we did have to
um engage with the DNR. >> Yeah, we're you're approaching the the correct first place. I don't know if this is something that has to go to council next, I would imagine. And and I don't know if you guys have like a list of things that you would like to partner
with with the city on in the on the park's behalf. um as Lions Club members. Yeah. >> So, I don't know what if there's a development plan or if there's some things that you guys have kicked around of what you'd like to do in Orlando
Park. >> We could certainly talk with you and um maybe provide some funding or um maybe some muscle or I don't know exactly what it would be, but I don't know what we'd
need, but we've got the idea. So, we looked at there or we kicked around amongst ourselves was um more playground equipment. The one that's there is, you know, it's down there. It's >> right. I think when we did the park
survey and then we also applied for the grant, we were there was a discussion about putting it would be adult exercise but also for kids a station >> kind of where they used to have
campsites. So when you drive into the park kind of off to the right >> side >> in there there was a vision of trying to do some type of exercise stations where kids adults other people it could be a
destination to kind of you know there were different things where you can lay down and you know >> do situps or different >> some sort I've seen those in places where there's a display board this Yes, >> this is a kind of stretching or whatever
you exercise want to do. >> That was some of the ideas I think that we had mentioned. Another thing that we're trying we're trying to do and we've talked with uh the city to put it in the budget is to get a paved trail
from you know where they have that gold rush um you know not a destination but it talks about the gold rush and how gold rush was found that's got the whole big brick thing from that to the pavilion we'd like to get that paved
>> so that people um with mobility issues can access the pavilion and not have to walk on on uneven ground. >> We label some of it as handicap parking or something too. >> Yes. >> Y >> those were some of the things. >> Steve, I have a quick question before we
get too far. Cart carton the horse. Um you do a lot of great things. You not you Steve the Lions Club do a lot of great things here at Memorial Park >> or not Memorial Park. Just right. This is not Memorial Park. Name of >> Community Center. >> Community Center Park. you've not right.
>> Um would the Lions do a lot of their fun events that they have usually set up right out here. Would you move them more towards Oronokco Park as like a home base for like big night out or >> Right. That would be we used to do that.
Okay. >> But when I first joined the Lions had an activity that called charter night which celebrates the anniversary of when the club was was founded. And we had that at Orino Park and we get some people
showing up but like all things in or no visibility sometimes is an issue >> especially you know for our club and stuff. So um that's why we asked if we could have the you know the so many things. Yeah.
>> It's way it's way more visible when we do that. Uh but yes, if that park becomes, you know, more of a gathering place and more well known and it's gig alliance park maybe and we get better at advertising. Yes, of course we'd love to
use that. In fact, in the summertime we have our club meetings in the pavilion. So yeah, a club would like to use it and and we certainly would like to host events there and things like that. >> Parking is worrisome. It's tight, right?
Like if you're having a big big like the parking is one of the things at >> or that something like that. Yeah. >> Yeah. It was pretty full. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Oh, how many members do you guys have right now? >> 16th. >> 16th. >> Yeah.
>> Okay. >> Yep. We'd like that. I would like to see it double. The one thing about Orin Oak Park and that's always been huge as far as my perspective is the events that we have Fourth of
July and and National Night Out being held down there. It's one safe place because you got you actually got a ton of parking, but you need nobody's walking across this one in the middle of
rush hour like happens at National Night Out. And and I've I've witnessed a few different people just about get hit. And that's the only concern I have, you know, and I understand it's a it's it's it's out here. It's in the main thing. But >> that that park down there is always to
me I mean I've always been a it's just been a beautiful park and yes we've lost trees but we've planted trees but it's just gorgeous down there and it's it's a safe area for kids and everybody. Um so I just I just want to throw that out there just to let everybody know.
>> So when you think about adopting the park maybe just um what is like the long-term strategy? So Yep. you have ideas for maybe new improvement, but as stuff starts to wear and tear, is that something that you guys would fund or is
that we would say we need some new picnic tables? Hey, does the Lions Club have it? If not, it would go back to the city to manage like what's that long-term >> for the for moving picnic tables and stuff around? Those picnic tables are heavy. We get a bunch of them for on
gold rush. >> No, we're not going to sign up for that. That's >> we need you need equipment to do that kind of stuff. >> But if we needed more picnic tables, maybe we can help fund that. >> So what happens if something breaks? Is
that for a city to manage? I >> think I think everything's up in the air. I don't we would not want to >> since we don't have equipment and stuff. >> You're not gonna mow. You're not gonna Yep. >> that kind of stuff, right? This would be
more improvements or possibly plan maintenance kind of things. Things that break that need to be fixed immediately. We could certainly discuss it. We have some our club does have some funds we could probably help out with if it's not
covered by the city. >> Okay. >> But yeah, we just we the Lions Club want to be a bigger part of the city and give back more. Our our motto is so we serve
we want to want to grow that. >> Thank you. >> Have you talked with Kane about any of this yet? >> Um I saw him at the last city council meeting and I told him what we were thinking about. Um
I didn't have a we didn't discuss it. He he he had heard about it because he talked with um John Marx, another Lions member. John and Kane had talked about it and I think Kane sounded like he was on board with it. Um
my sense is that you might have a different feel for that. I haven't heard anything about it from him. So this is the first I'm hearing about it and so I didn't know if it had been a meeting had been done with him or not. >> No. So, as he oversees all the parks and you know, I I understand what you guys are asking for and I look at this as a
great partnership for the city, >> you know, it's something where the city is still responsible for everything, but there's a lot more where you guys are involved, especially when it comes to financial support for projects, >> but the city's still in charge of these are the projects we have. This is what's
going on. That's why I ask Kane because it's his world. These are the projects that he's got going on and what's coming up and >> and stuff like that. So, want to make sure that, you know, you guys have ideas, it's great, but we got to make sure they align with the city side of things. >> Yes. Yes.
>> So, so this was um I went to city council and asked about this and they said, "Oh, come come see parks and trails and and we go from there." So this was this is step one and we want to
you know keep keep going or you know see what we can do to make this happen. >> Yeah. So I guess I mean if that's what happened when you went to city council you know I would I would make a motion to you know keep exploring it and seeing you know what that really means and what
we have to do. >> So we need your agreement. >> I have ahead. Yeah, I just have a a comment that I you know I understand like I think both sides are saying well what does that mean? What does that mean you know to to
have a relationship? I wonder if um you know take taking the um either planning or ideas we've have for the future that we either need didn't get funded or what our priorities are put them on a list almost like an Amazon
gift list and offer Lions like which of these projects would you like to choose and unless Lions is thinking they have something completely different but it's like I think to support what we're doing would be like let you know we've have thought about the future for the parks
and we have some ideas and it's I mean that just may be a way to start the process but I feel like both sides are talking are sort of thinking about they're they're almost like in quicksand well what does that mean what what would you do that kind of thing and I it sounds like we don't really know what we would
do >> so I I agree with you let's work I would like to work with the city we I just threw out >> the ideas that we as a club talk to um if if there's a master plan that needs money um we can probably help with some
>> we have a list I don't know that it's a and correct me if I'm wrong I don't know if it's really a master plan but we did come up with a list within the last few months of things we wanted to see in each different park you know projects to be completed and I just you know we just learned I think today that the grant wasn't funded so I think there's things
on our list that we want to have happen and it would be great to have them happen and maybe that's maybe that's where the partnership could start. >> Yeah, my suggestion is we work with this committee and bring a proposal forward. So, it would include, you know, the name
change, here's what we're planning on doing, if it's exercise equipment or it's paving because we didn't get the funding. I would say we work as this group and and endorse it from parks and trails and then bring it up to city council. >> Okay, >> sounds good. I'm happy to work with you
offline and we can think about what are the things that we would want to do. I again I think timing is is really good for this because we'll know in the next couple of weeks what our budget looks like for next year and maybe some things didn't get on there. Maybe that moves up
in our prioritization. Y >> we're we're working on new branding, right? So, we might be getting new signs. So, we could potentially rename it or rebrand it with new signs, things like that, too. >> Awesome.
>> Awesome. I'd be check >> and I I am calling from New York. I need to get going. It's 9:00 here. And um thank you and have a good rest of the meeting. And I I will check out here. >> All right. Thank you. Sure. Bye. Bye.
>> Bye. Okay. So, what I'm hearing is that you guys will work together to have a really good proposal in January that we can bring to city council. >> We'll bring it here first and endorse it
and then bring it to city council. Um, and we'll make sure that we include Kane, too, >> so he has that kind of awareness. and if he has other ideas of things that need to be done down there. Um, I know he had a laundry list of things he wanted to work on, so that would be good to know, too.
>> So, I think Joy, to your point, that safety and accessibility should be very, very high on the list, that kind of stuff. Um, >> uh, playground equipment. That was just our idea that that exercise.
>> So, let's take a look at your list. >> I have a question for Jason. I don't know if he's going to be able to answer it. How How soon is that park slated to have city water in Is there a year for it yet or No,
>> that's a pain question. >> It's a pain question, which is fair. I mean, I just didn't know if we're still talking phases. Are we still talking phases with city water and sewer? >> Because that's going to be a big deal. that that whole like bathroom facility,
shower facility needs to be updated. The entire thing probably needs to come down and be rebuilt and with that would include bringing those into the park. >> Yeah. >> So, >> yeah. I don't know. Does your copier work?
>> It's plugged in. >> Yeah, you can get that. >> This is wish list from King >> that um You have a copy of that? Y >> maybe >> that in your discussions because it talks about
>> maybe you said some physical help >> removing the sea wall. >> It's kind of different things like that. So >> nice. I like it. I don't even think the bathroom situation was on that list. So, I mean, I think that's where we would
need Kane to say if we're going to do this right >> and and it may not be right, if we're thinking about, you know, a 1, three, five, 10year plan, right, with Lions Club, like we'll have to prioritize some of those things, but just having a plan of what we would do, you know, some of
those things and maybe the bathroom or other things we need to consider. And it might not be the right timing for next year, but in three or five years might be. All right. Well, thank you very much, Steve. >> Okay. >> Consideration.
>> Yeah. All right. So, you might Yeah, you can go if you want to. >> Well, I might just sit and listen. >> Yeah. I think I think we've gotten a lot of the the stuff going here. So, um, a lot of these things we're just
kind of waiting to see what what budgets say. And I have to do some research to try to find um some some funding for basketball courts because I've heard that you can sometimes find that. I don't know. Um and then so does anyone
have anything else that we want to bring up that we don't see on here? I believe have they closed off Alice Park yet? Because I know that's a thing that we do. Um should be so big sign no
motorized vehicles road closed saw today. >> What about River Park? Do we maintain that roadway? >> Typically there's a gate that gets closed >> at some point. >> As parks department we uh parks and trails committee we don't I don't >> Yeah, we don't determine that but at
some point it that gate will be closed sometimes in the winter. >> I don't think last year it was. I think two years ago it was closed. It it's off and on. Yeah, it's kind of it's it seems like a hit or miss on as far as when they close it, but or if they close it,
>> but I would I think a lot of people >> cross country ski down through there and along the trails. So, they may leave that open. >> Why would they close it? Just ice. >> Well, yeah. Or I really don't really know why. >> It's sludgy. It's
>> it's it's windy and probably car is going to go >> motorized cars especially. Yeah, >> it's shaded quite a bit. So, I think that would be part of the challenge as well >> to keep it clear. >> So, okay.
>> Yeah. So, that was just my winter comment. Um, if you want to just add in minutes that Alice Park access, you know, is closed in the winter. Um, yeah.
I don't know if they maintain the parking lot at Garden Park in the winter, but it really doesn't matter. It's here or there. >> Okay. It's not >> even a parking lot. >> No, I think the garden park I think we they just left that as a walking thing. They No, no vehicles or anything. As far
as I was I think the last meeting >> we talked about that came pasture. >> Yeah, this went to pasture. They're just going to let it you can walk it, but that's it. >> Sounds good. That's one thing we should follow up with, Don. We did get approval
to get some of those signs like a natural prairie signs. Um I think was >> so we should get those ordered. They were like 50 bucks. >> Okay.
Are you okay to add that to your email to Dylan? >> I I can send her another one. Yeah. >> And then I wonder do I mean how many are we getting? >> I think I got approval for two. Okay. And do we have Don order them or do we
have Don ask the city staff to >> We could figure out what ones we want and basically >> we would order them. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Do you guys care what they look like? Do you want to bring them back here or just whatever Don?
>> I mean I'm okay with whatever. You guys okay with whatever or do you want to see it? >> Does it matter? Do you want to see the two signs that would go at Garden Park before we order them? They're pretty straightforward. >> Don't complicate it.
>> Will they have the new logo on? >> No, let's not go that far. >> Hey, now I do appreciate that. I do appreciate that. I love it. All right. Thank you for bringing that up for me. All right. We have anything else?
Anything? Um, I apologize that things were sent today versus like another day. One of these years I might get it done by like the Wednesday before or something, but um I think I've got all the email addresses
correct and things like that, right? >> All right. Shall we make a motion to adjourn? Anybody or what does Jason want us to say? Yeah. Um, have you guys talked about your media hit over next year? Something you guys have done. So,
we'd like to put together the city staff. We're trying to work on putting together a year-long like one sheet printable calendar kind of like they do for the schools. Shows like what meetings are on what days that we can have as like a PDF of people or send out
a newsletter for 2026. So, if you guys want to talk about it for a few minutes, make sure this first Monday still works for you all. And if there's kind of look through them and see if there's anything I know sometimes with like Memorial Day, Labor Day.
>> Yep. >> Those are always kind of tricky if they, you know, they fall on Monday. Now, is it the Monday that our meeting is? So, I know we have to reschedule those sometimes. did this year for Labor Day >> calendar for 206
>> allowed change the day proposed changing it to not be Monday. >> You certainly can if you want to if it fits in with the rest of the you know an open time for the rest of the committees. >> I know because there's a lot of other things happening >> thing a lot of other things and I mean
you're talking just couple holidays maybe that you would have to we could have to reschedu I think would So, just looking through January 5th, there's nothing that probably be one that would work. Um, February 2nd, I don't believe
there's any holidays around that one. March 2nd, again, that's the first Monday. Again, no holidays around that. April would be April 6th, that's Easter Monday. So, >> the building's open, correct? It's not a
legal holiday. Yeah, the the building's open. It's not a legal holiday, so it shouldn't affect anything. Correct. >> To look at what our holidays are that we do with the city. >> If it's Sunday was >> the Monday's closed. We have the Monday
closed. It's a city holiday though. So >> when Easter on there though, >> sorry, what >> wasn't Easter on there though? >> Easter observed. I don't have the me. >> So is a >> It says Easter Monday on the calendar,
but that's >> is it a legal holiday that we cannot meet or is it just that you're choosing to close it? >> Easter is not a federal holiday in the US. >> It's not a federal holiday. I'm just
looking at our employee um personnel policy because we put holidays in there. >> Yes. >> And those are the Minnesota ones that we have on our personnel policy. I want to make sure that they align. I understand it's not a federal, but if it's Minnesota,
>> hey, state over federal. >> So, >> what what is this telling me over here? The blue and the green. That's a calendar in 2025. I don't know what the blue and the green means off. >> Yeah. All the blue all the blues. Ryland.
>> I'm guessing the greens look like national holidays. I don't know what the blues are. That's three, four days at a time from those. >> I mean, like where you getting spring break? I mean, what is all that? >> So, you know where the calendar came from? >> Okay. All right. But yeah,
>> December 7th, November 2nd. >> Easter's not on. Let's see. So, so Easter, so April 6th would be open. Staff's probably not going to be here, though. >> Yeah, >> long as it's open. >> Well, you guys have access to get in.
>> Yeah. >> To the building. So, okay. Um, so let's see here. May 5th or 4th. >> May 5th is holiday. >> Different holiday. All right. >> May would be fine. June 1st.
>> June 6th. >> June 1st. >> And then we've got July 6th. >> More than July 3rd observed. >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> And then August 3rd should be fine.
September 1st. No, September 7th. That's the Labor Day. So that's the first real holiday. >> It's got to be a problem. What >> was that? >> So we'd have to change that date. Monday is that holiday then of that city's closed. >> So >> there have been times where we've just
