So, we'll move if you guys we you guys okay with >> Unless you want to stay for most of the meeting. >> Well, it should go pretty quick.

Lynn makes the motion to accept the agenda. >> I'll second. Is there a second? Motion. All in favor say I. I.
>> Opposed. Motion carried for that. >> Um so then we first we got Donnie with planning and zoning. >> So we have one permit for Kevin Natalie Stucker for 302 Edward Street and it's just to add some concrete to uh in front of the house from a new apron from the
garage and then from there over to to the house. So three different sections and planning and zoning um made a motion to accept it. Okay. Uh, could I get a motion to accept that? >> I'll make that motion. >> Al makes the motion.
>> I'll second it. >> Donnie seconds the motion. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. A motion carried for that. Donnie. >> Okay. So, next we go to claims. And we have K for claims. >> Claims for March total 308 $38,536.38.

>> March's ending balance was 3,330,469.88. >> Um, if I could get a motion to accept the treasures report. >> Make a motion. >> Gary makes a motion. >> I'll second it. >> Lyn the motion. All in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Opposed. Um, really quick on the treasures report. I was just going to say this is probably this time of year
is about the lowest that we're ever going to have for the treasures report because it's before everything kicks in like the golf course funding. So, we're we're doing relatively well. That's the highest I've ever seen it um for this time of year for being mayor. So, that's really good a part on everybody's
account. Uh, so next I'd like to go to uh the walk our walk-in wings committee. Um, and uh we they they have a proposal. It's actually a three-year a three-year uh step proposal. We have Jim Callhammer, Barb Treader, and Jenny. And
I think we're missed that. We got one extra person here. But who is it? >> No, >> she's Caitlyn. So, if we call that our hot seat. So, if we're going to have somebody come up here, if you want to do you want to do I'm assuming you want to cover your proposal, right?
>> Yeah. You can just have a chair there. Is it is >> it Eric? Is it turned on? Is the speaker turned on? turned it on. >> Okay, awesome. >> Um, so I'm guessing that you did get the three-year proposal. >> Yep. >> Um, so what I'm going to hand you out to
is a picture of the aerial of the park that we would like to do and then just a rough draft >> of what we would like to see or like what we are proposing to do. So it's kind of a picture with the narrative. Um,
>> thank you. So, walking wings, we um last year we did really great and we donated quite a bit of our proceeds to area EMGs, Sullivan Lake and the Piers area EMTs. We look to try to
we look to try to pick different things or different groups that would not only benefit the community, but this year we were thinking giving them something that they would have a lasting impression on. Um, to me personally, veterans are a very important part of my family. My
dad's retired military. I have uncles who are Vietnam vets. I have pretty much everybody in this room probably has somebody who has been or is in active military. And what we would like to do is take Bill Park. There is already a little veterans
memorial there. What we would like to do is expand upon that. And um if you look at the handout we have here that the the gazebo's there. What we would like to do behind the gazebo is in our first year
we would like to put six flags. There's six the six branches of government the six flags. And then with the American flag being in the middle that would be the first year. So every year that we have this done it's not a half completed project. It is a completed project. Um
and then the year after would be compounding and the year after. That way then if for some reason walking wings does not happen the year after the year after it doesn't look like an eyesore within the community. The second year then if you look on the picture in front
of the US bank there's a there's a square on that granite slab. We would like family members to start putting to give us we would have a sign up form where we would engrave area active retired deceased military names on
there. Kind of taking the Vietnam memorial but compounding it just to the peers people who have served and just celebrating their their service to our country. And then the year after around the gazebo or around the sidewalks, we
would like to have bricks where a family could do in memory of of a of a person who has served in the military to also give them a place to go to like a place to remember. So we would be taking Village Park and also turning it into a
veterans memorial park. And we would with our proceeds from walking wings, we want to do it all like we we don't want there to be any financial responsibility to the city. We would take on all the financial
obligation in remodeling a city park. So that's kind of what we're proposing here is um if we can have and we would work with the city on this. It's not. It would be it's obviously once we get approval, we would have something a
little bit more drafted and hardcore, but until we get the approval, we really didn't want to spend a lot of funds on something that may be um the we may have to do some tree removal,
but we would like to if we do tree removal in there once the project is completed is we would go back and replace the trees. So it would be aesthetically pleasing park. >> We like the gazebo because if you were sit in the gazebo, it's a shaded gazebo and you'd be able to look out to the
east side of the the gazebo and look at the memorial. So it it's just something that as a committee and that is most of the committee. There's um Tom Smoody, Sean Jansen, and Laura Colammer are also members. We're just we're the ones who
put on Walking Wings and we would just like to take our Walking Wings proceeds now and start to do something that the whole community can start to enjoy and take pride in. And hopefully it's something that they would stop and see and it would just give the people in
this area. My dad moved to Piers. I called him up. He's a snowbird in Arizona. He went all out. He started going to BFWs, Legions, talking to other cities to see what they are doing and how they are doing it. And I think that
it's something that people in this area would take pride in. So that's kind of something that we would like to move forward with. >> I you know what I'm probably speaking for all of us probably, but um we really love what you guys are doing uh for our community and uh and it's a great really
a fabulous event. And I know for me personally, we get our grandchildren that weekend and uh they just love it. Love the walking wings. It's just a really good community event. >> Well, and we also think too like once we get the city approval, if we start throwing it out there that we will be
building >> onto the veterans memorial that's already there that we will be getting more great people will be coming to town because a lot of people in the area do support the veterans. And then it just brings the more people it brings to town, the more we can showcase the town.
>> We get people from down south, Rochester, North Dakota, South Dakota. They think it's a great day. And it's just it brings people into town from I mean, even some of the Mast's people come here and they're spending money in
town. They're they're take they I get so many compliments on the the barbecue people that come in and how great this town is and how cool that everybody supports an event like what we have. So this is what we're looking at as our give back is doing something like this.
>> Do do any you guys got any questions? I mean I got just something I'm just going to kind of ask at the end. >> The only thing I have is is that uh Rick is is on vacation out till all of next week. We should probably have him meet with the board and figure out how far
back that we can go. >> Yes, because the skating rink is back >> somewhere back there. Yeah. >> Yes. We don't want to impede on >> but Rick Rick being our public works guy, he would be the one that should be doing that. And we would I'd agree because we would like to once we get the
if we get the approval from the city, we would then contact somebody who would draft >> a a solid plan and we would work with the city and say this is our drafted >> rough draft for lack of and is that
approved? So, we would like um a person who would be our go-to that we, you know, how how are we going to run this? Like, how is this going to work? We would like some guidance on what the city would need or expect from us >> so this project doesn't cause problems
and it runs smoothly because this is something that we are really all very passionate about doing, >> right? Um, so you're are you okay with that, Don? Yeah, but Rick, I think, should be that go-to guy cuz he is >> he would have to be. >> Yeah. >> But looking at your drawing, the way you
have it, Donnie, I don't think it's going to be an issue. >> I don't either, but I mean, >> well, we try to stay as close to that light pole as possible under under the assumption that the light pole is the light for the skating ring. >> And hopefully that can actually get moved someplace to kind of take it out of that that visual.
>> Yes. said it because yeah I mean we have talked you know there >> for those flags to not be impeded by the trees were there there may be have you know we would recommend some trees being removed but we understand though too that the aesthetic of the park a park without trees looks kind of silly. So we
would then at year three once the whole project was completed is we would work with somebody then who would come in and we would get the trees re situated in there again so the the park aesthetic stays the same >> and that's exactly the problem we're having with the current one.
>> Yeah. >> It's the trees and the things have grown up and it's wrecking the flags. >> Right. >> So you're right. By placing them where they need to be >> Yes. will help. >> And then Yes. And then we figured that with the the trees that we plant there, they would be like you have the
flowering crab there in the spring, maybe we put a couple of maples there for the fall color. So then it's always a focal point of people driving through even if they want to have a picnic lunch. It would be a nice place for people to stop. And we just felt that the park would potentially get
>> it's on a great place in town by the firehouse. If you see in front of the gazebo, we have that little square. Depending upon how much funds we actually have left and how this all goes, we figured on one side of the sidewalk going into the gazebo, we could do a fireman memorial or something to
the firemen on the other side with a police department. So then all people are recognized in the park. But this is just, like I said, a rough draft because we really don't know any of the costs. We weren't going to start looking at any of the costs until we get approval with
the city and but we tried to frame it so it would never be an incomplete eyesore from year to year. >> I I remember we talked about something I I don't think it was with you guys about if if any of the trees were planted for anybody specifically, you know, or
donated, but they're not. I don't think. So, we're good with because we hate to pull a tree out that was donated by somebody for somebody that passed away, but I we're we're good to go with that, too. So, I think we're okay. Um, any other questions, Lyn? >> I'm good with it. I think it's an awesome idea and I applaud you guys for coming up with it.
>> You're okay, Sarah? You're good. >> I love I love that idea. >> Yeah, I think it's a great tribute and great idea. >> I have a I got a I got a question for you. So, which Minnesota flag are you going to fly? You going to fly a traditional one or the >> Can I say it? >> Yeah, I'm I'm going with the R. Yeah. I
I apologize. >> The traditional the good. >> It is out there already. Yeah. >> And um and so what we would do around the veterans memorial, those three flags would stay because that still is a veterans memorial. We would just build more to the back. And now that there is
another um branch of the armed forces with the space force, then we would also have a flag. I've also talked to my uncle who is a part he is post commander at he was post commander at the little falls region. So he said he would help me get in touch with the peers legion so
they would have a say in it and he said if I needed any resources above and beyond he would be able to help me um with anything that I would have and he also gave me some other good resource names to use so this project would just >> showcase our value that we put on the
veterans in town. So, and I this is I I was going to hold this till the end, but I'll I I'll just mention it now because of the different different people posting Minnesota flags in the city. I'm really tempted to see if I can run a referendum through and and just have a
referendum that anything any flags flown in peers would have would be the traditional flag. I've seen a lot of cities have been doing that. Um, and that's something I might talk to a couple or talk to somebody here and see what >> the thing is is currently, yes, the
armed forces in Minnesota are operating under the new state flag, but we also want to support the people like my dad is retired military and he had the traditional Minnesota flag. It's a very touchy subject. >> Mhm.
>> But we with the Vietnam War and all of the veterans and up until currently they all did serve under the traditional Minnesota. >> Yeah. And I guess maybe I should I should maybe just say for us. I don't know if we can do it for the city but or
the city itself but anyway. No, that's that's all I was asking because I'm just looking for some consistency. So, >> but again, if the city does say that we honor the new flag, then the new flag is what shows like it's again, it's a city
park and we don't want to slander or go against anything that the city sure >> we just want to take something and do something with the park. >> My vote is to let them move forward. >> Yeah, mine too. So, can I get a motion to >> I'll make that motion. >> Lynn makes the motion.
>> I'll second. >> Sarah seconds the motion. All in favor say I. I >> opposed. The motion carried. >> Thank you guys. >> Good to go. Thank you. >> In contact with Rick so we can >> and along with Rick if you need somebody else from a council I'm happy to sit in with it. I >> that would be great because I think if we had some city council Yep. That way
then there's cohesiveness in the project. >> Yep. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you so much you guys. All you guys fantastic. >> Um so then we're going to go to number 11. And I I'm going to try >> Yeah. Thanks a lot you guys. Um, I'm
going to try to do a real brief uh real brief kind of um thing. Donnie and I and Rick uh we met and we talked about talked about it. So, if you read it um the county uh would like to I guess initially they they talked about
purchasing it's like I just say 10,500 bucks and uh the purchase uh the land around the bridge because they're going to expand the bridge and it all it all makes sense. Um, but then the the end of the conversation was they were wondering if that if we would if we would donate
it donate the land to them and uh they wanted us to discuss that tonight. Um, and I'm really personally I'm not really in favor. I think Donnie, you're not either. >> Well, I think what we thought is is we could take that money >> and we could use that towards the new sign that's going to have to be replaced
at the golf course. >> It might not cover the whole thing, but it would go quite a ways towards it. >> Yeah. because we have to remove that sign for them to because that's going to be part of what there is and we thought that uh that we could use that money the 10,486
bucks for that. Um so um I don't know if you guys what your thoughts are on it. >> I'm not in favor >> of not in favor of giving it to them. >> Right. >> Yeah. I'm not either. >> But so okay. So if we could have Lynn >> I'm kind of on the fence with it and I'm
I'll explain why. I I understand where you guys are coming from, but on the other side of it, we depend on Morrison County to help us with a lot of things too with, you know, helping with grants and different things that we have to funnel through them. Yeah. I don't know. I'm on the fence.
I'll I mean, I'll go along with whatever the majority. >> Mhm. >> But >> the only thing that I I asked the same question, Lynn, but it was if we were doing it and we needed the county to give us the land, would they give it to us? >> I don't know. >> They wouldn't give it to us. >> I don't know.
We've never had that situation happen, >> right? >> Yeah. >> That's the only thing. Like I said, I just would hate to have bad >> blood between the two of us. >> So that from what I understand, and I could be wrong with it, but what I understand is they said, "Well, if something comes up later and they would
work something out with us, but we all know how things change from other they could have new commissioners. They could have a new person in that job." So that if you go to them, they're going to go, "Well, we don't remember talking about that." >> No, I don't. No, I know exactly what you're saying. Like I said, that's just my thought process.
>> So, um I Well, then I either we accept I I would say if we'd get a motion to accept the what their contract is to accept the $10,486.95 and we can have Laura put it in the
budget for the whatever for the park or for the sign. I think that'd be a good thing. Then we know where the money's going. >> So, we'd earmark that money for that. >> Absolutely. >> Okay. So, if I could get a motion for that. >> So, I want to make sure we're I'm make
the motion, but So, we're making a motion that >> that we will not give them the land, >> right? >> And then and then that money for that that they were talking about 10,4865. We will put that towards the new sign
that's needed at the golf course. >> Mark it towards new sign because that sign will be gone. They're removing it. >> Okay. I'll make that motion. >> Okay. If I could get a second, >> I'll second that. >> Okay. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. A motion carried.
>> Okay. So, then the next one is the the city handbook update. So, um we kind of all got real uh we got emails on kind of explaining everything. Uh Laura is not here, but if hopefully everybody had a chance to look at the updates. Um we
could either make a motion and just approve it or try to go into some discussion on it, but I'm okay with everything. >> I think it looks good. >> Yeah, >> I've been looking over it as the changes have been made. So, >> yep. Okay. Can I get a motion for it to accept it? >> I'll make a motion. >> Gary makes a motion to accept the update. >> I'll second it.
>> Lynn seconds it. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. A motion carried. Okay. Now we got department updates and we don't have anybody from the fire department. So we got Mr. Henkin here. >> Good evening everybody. The only thing I have for you is the walking wings permit
for August 29th, 2026. Um they put another 1,600 um people in attendance most likely. It's a great event. It's wellrun. It's a great community event. So all I need is approval that you guys can move ahead and uh we can allow them now to contact
Morsa County to do all their permitting through for the foods and all that kind of stuff. So they're just putting on that. >> Yeah. Could I get a motion to accept? >> I'll make that motion. >> Gary makes a motion to accept the permit. >> I'll second it. >> Donnie seconds it. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Uh
>> for me I have nothing. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Thanks Eric. >> Thanks. >> Yep. Thanks Eric. So, we got uh instead of Rick for public works today, we have uh Don Kowski. >> Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. So, I got a couple things to go through. Uh Rick has
a couple things to go through. So, the first thing that we're talking about is Seal Coat, the the cracks that are throughout the town. So Rick has uh Edward Street, Camnick Street, Robert Street, Summer Street, Centennial Drive,
Cody Court, First Avenue to Edwards, and Edwards to Maine. All of those streets will have a little bit of work done to them uh for a total of $8150, $8,150 and that's through Mike Schaefer seal coat.
>> So if I could get a motion for that, >> I'll make that motion. sir makes a motion to approve the 8150. >> I'll second it. >> L second the motion. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carried. >> And then the other thing that I have is um we've already given the go ahead to
do it. Um the Lion's Park, the Lion's Head down here for the water fountain. Uh it's going to sit just west of that shelter that's down there. Excuse me. East of the shelter that's down there. That side. East side. um he will dig it
in from the top. It'll go down. It'll sit there. That way, no kid has to run up towards the street to get a drink of water. They'll always get to stay right down below there. That bid is for $900. And that is Pix uh Pix Septic System. And then Chris Young also has a bid of
$52765. And that is for the concrete pad that needs to be poured on top of that when PIC is done digging it out. those two because they add up to less than $2,500. Rick told him to go ahead and let's get the project started. Uh PIC should be
digging either this week or next week and then Chris will bring it the concrete in when he has uh other small projects in town. We would expect within the next couple of weeks after that. And that's all that I know of that Rick had for me to talk to you guys about.
>> Great. So, we're good with that. And then we have uh the the clubhouse. Now I can just read this off of this Lynn unless you want to matter. So uh we just need a motion for the peer school peer helping training. Uh it's at the north shelter. It's Friday, May 8th. Um all
day. >> I'll make that motion to donate it. >> Lynn makes the motion. >> I'll second it. >> Second the motion. All in favor say I. I. >> I. Opposed. Uh motion carried. Uh next we have the golf course. Actually, Bradley, we should have put you up in
front of the line. Like, wait all day. >> I was thinking today, I was like, is there a reason that faithful? >> Yes. Yes, there is. >> Um, well, good evening everybody. Um, business first, I suppose. Uh, tonight
I'm seeking approval to uh for our final hire, Kyle Nash. Um, now, as you may recall, last time I was here, I asked for pre-approval for two people. $9 an hour. Um, considering Nash's mechanical experience, my talks with him, I think he'd be fantastic to round out our team
there with his mechanical experience and I think he's worth $20 an hour for that. So, um, that does still leave us plenty within budget as I discussed in depth at the last meeting. Um, like I like I said, I think that additional dollar is absolutely worth it. Could I get
approval to hire him at that wage? >> Yeah, if I could get a motion. >> I'll make the motion. Uh Lynn makes the motion. >> Second it. >> Gary second the motion. All in favor say I. For that's for Kyle Nash for $20 an hour. I >> Yep. against. Motion carried. So that' be for
Kyle Nash at $20 an hour. Okay. >> Um a couple updates for you. Um stump grinding. We have a contractor coming in. He will be grinding stumps on the course, the campground, and the park. Um he's going to do the campground and the park starting tomorrow, I believe. Um,
Andrew Poster, he started working Tuesday, April 7th. He's been spending most of this last week cleaning up brush, raking everything up. It's been a mess down there with the weather we had this winter and everything down. Um, last week Jim was servicing carts. We've been tracking them for any, you know,
potential mechanical issues we've had that weren't resolved from last season, stuff that slipped under the radar. Uh, last week, Wednesday, we tried to turn on the water service to the clubhouse. However, we did that we needed to install a new inline filter in the
basement. Um, pretty minor project, just held up held us up turning on water fully to them for one day, which that was water came to them last Thursday. Um, we pulled the tarps from the back green nines at hole one. Um, they were
removed today. Everything, as far as I can tell, looks pretty good. There's here and there, but nothing I wouldn't expect out of the ordinary out any other year. Um, and then, uh, the big one that everybody's been asking me about to Andy
and everyone else, opening day. Um, as of right now, the back nine will be open this Friday. >> Um, and the front nine we're hoping will be early next week. I'm also hoping that for that to be on the later end of things. If we can have them both open for this weekend, that'll be great. Um,
however, there's still some areas that need clean up and everything. We did have our blower breakdown. um parts were ordered. They should should be running up and running tomorrow. Um but that's a big item to have everything cleared and ready to go.
Whereas the new nine doesn't have nearly the brush and leaves and everything on it. So >> I'll keep you guys updated as things come up. So any questions for me? >> I don't have any. >> No. >> Okay. Nope.
Ben, >> you're good. Okay. Awesome. Thank you, Bradley. Thanks, Brad. >> Uh, next we have, uh, Lynn. She's going to do the city administrator update. >> So, Laura's out. Uh, she's got a couple things on here, just reminders. Uh,
board of appeal and equalization is this week, Thursday, at 1:00. Um, John, Sarah, and myself will be present for that. Uh, city auditor will be at the April 27th meeting, so the next one. and then rock roll and stroll event. The
first one is scheduled for June 4th. And that's all she had. >> Awesome. Uh, so we got council updates. I just got a couple of quick things if anybody else has anything. >> Yeah, he's got Gary. It says Gary logo. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. >> Are we I know Rick
>> put the new uh logo on the trucks. Are we going to make this consistent? I'm a huge stickler for consistency. So, are are we changing all the logos to that? Like I would prefer we all they're all the same. I don't want 17 different logos out there. I would prefer just one
have some consistency >> and I talked about it. >> What does it cost? I'm just curious. What's it cost for a logo? >> How many Do you know how many logos we're going to need? >> Yeah, I don't know either top of my head. But I mean if we're changing like you know the handbook and >> I was going to say most of it is just on
paper and shirt. >> Oh the paper too. So you're talking about all the paper. We just need whoever designed the public works logo. >> It would be that much. I just want to, you know, if we're going to change the logo, we should just change the logo and be done with. >> Well, I'd be wondering is on like some of the some of the equipment that we
have the logo on if we can't leave the old one on until we buy the different truck because we're looking at replacing some of that stuff. Like the fire department doesn't have any of the city logo on it. >> Just just the city. >> They don't have any city logos on. >> No, just the city appears. And >> well, part of that's because they're halfowned,
>> right? But I mean, probably wouldn't switch those, >> right? But there's >> Yeah, I know what you're saying. >> They've never had that. >> Yeah. >> You know, but as we're looking now the the street sweeper, if it started acting up that if we have to replace that, >> that's going to get a new lo that would be that the next logo if that's what we're doing, >> right? But if we're just going to buy
some decals, I can't imagine there'd be too much. >> Can we find and we don't have to do it tonight, but have Laura Can we find out how much or talk to Rick? >> Well, Rick Rick was supposed to be asking that, so I'm I'm >> going to be too much. I just want to >> Yeah. >> If we're going to do it, let's just do it and >> Yeah.
>> be consistent, I guess. >> You know, cuz the new the new squad the old squad car that's going to get stripped. That'll end up with those that new logo cuz we're not going to lead the fire or police department on it, >> right? >> It'll say city. It's going to say K's car. I don't know what it's going to say. >> Sure.
>> I'm You know what? It's really in it's when uh when I was with when I worked for Moan Faucets, they told us not to put any logos with our company on the cars because people like hitting those cars and then they uh they sue it the sue the city. I'm just telling you. But I mean, if we put it on there, we drive it and
>> Well, all of our all of our city equipment has that logo on it. >> Yeah. >> Gary, are you thinking on matching the same one that >> the new one just I think it looks slick. >> Yeah. Doesn't it have the two shovels on it? >> It says public works on it. They all would have
to make much like would be >> No. So the street sweeper would enforcement city street or >> I don't know what say but Rick Rick will handle that. >> Yeah. Let's let's uh let if that if you're g let's talk to Rick about it cuz Donnie
>> picture of the curtain mayor on him or whatever. >> Yeah. Right. Hey for that. No. Okay. So let's let's we'll look at it once. It makes sense Gary. I mean, it makes sense to me to do it. >> Yeah. >> And I'm and I'm not as anal and I still
think it makes sense. >> I'll take that as a compliment. >> Yeah, it is. It is a compliment. Okay. So, um, anybody else have anything? >> I have one update. >> Yep. >> Just so everybody knows, um, in terms of the playground, the estimated shipping date for the equipment is May 29th with
delivery June 1st. >> Okay. >> Um, total that we're at, um, we have not received the essential health check yet. I did contact them. We should have it by the end of April or the first week in May. Um so money in hand, we have 22,900
roughly. Um with the essential health check when we get it, we'll be at 212900. >> Sweet. >> So just so we're all on the same page. >> Okay. >> Um in >> Yeah. >> Um so the Oh, Donnie brought up a good
point about that 25 that $2,500. um that so and I I'll just review this really really quick so everybody kind and I I think everybody maybe Kay doesn't know but um so a city administrator uh doesn't have the authority to to to sign checks or make
payments. A city manager does, but a city administrator doesn't. So we did several years ago is we incorporated a $2,500 limit. That's what Donnie referred to today. So everything that goes over $2,500 has to have technically
has to have approval by the council. So back then, uh, Donnie and I were on the on the park committee, and there were a lot there was a lot of stuff that was over $2,500 like fertilizer and gas. We told we we worked it out uh with Zach
back then that if anything like gas or fertilizer, everything Oh, that's good that you're here. everything that's consistently it's an annual thing. You really don't have to worry about it too much. But you and you and Lynn handle the rest of the stuff however you want to do it. But it is it's really nice
that uh Baba Trim used to text us and go, "Hey, we're spending $3,000 on this thing." And we would just text back and go approved. It just it's just one more check and balance just to watch everything. >> That actually reminds me of something else we talked about. And this is general maintenance, but the two doors
um on the clubhouse, the one that goes out the backside um that staff would use as well as the one that goes out that customers use to go out to Gulf. Those two doors are going to have to get replaced. They're
not ceiling and we're ending up with water issues. >> When they replaced the floor, he found a lot of black mold >> and we can't have that. >> Mhm. Mhm. >> Um, so those two doors are going to have to be and that's just I mean general
maintenance. I'm sure those doors haven't been replaced in years, >> right? Yep. So, uh, anyway, I'll we can Laura Well, otherwise I can I have talked to Laura about it before, but um, and I maybe I'll remind her that that we
just she needs to get approval of anything over $2,500 and the golf course is kind of a big thing. So, hey, watch it. doing that. I have another update for you. >> Oh, you do. Okay. >> Our public works director just sent me a message saying it's $200 per vehicle.
>> So, so it's $100 a decal cuz you put one on the driver's side, one on the other. >> Now, that is dedication. He's on vacation and watching the meeting. >> Do you want to bet you want to bet if I look right at him, he's drinking something adult beverage style? >> Probably an orange juice >> way of hiring. Okay, let's let's uh
let's get some dedication. >> We're done. We're done. >> Yep. >> Okay, Donnie. >> So, I make the motion to adjurnn at 7:33. >> D makes a motion to adjurnn. That was the time. >> I'll second. >> Uh Sarah seconds it. Uh all in favor say I. I. Opposed. A motion carried.
