7
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:17.440
good evening. My name is Deborah Schmidz. I live at 727 Birch Street South. First of all, I'd like to express my condolences to the Stone family on the loss of your mom. Secondly, um main reason I'm here is to

8
00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:41.440
address the weeds that are on the boulevard um that were sprayed late in November. And I have pictures um if I can present them. >> Sure. I was going to go out and try to pull

9
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:59.040
them by hand and after about five minutes I gave up. It's all weeds. Um there's very little grass coming up. I spoke with somebody on Pine Street. They have a beautiful boulevard, but ours on the 700 block especially of

10
00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:15.120
Birch Street is just it's just awful. So, I'm just wondering what count what uh action will the city go after those weeds or they receded or what will happen?

11
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:30.560
>> That's we've had a couple other phone calls on the same situation for weeds. You want these pictures back? So, as far as I know, where we are working with the um

12
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:46.239
our engineer because I think most of that got sprayed pretty late and it probably just didn't catch. So, that'll be something that will be on the checklist to get redone. >> I appreciate that and I know my fellow neighbors would appreciate that too

13
00:03:46.239 --> 00:04:00.640
because we're all talking about it. >> Okay. >> Um the the last thing is and this probably isn't going to hold a grain of sand anywhere. But years and years and years ago, um the city required house

14
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:18.639
numbers to be put on all properties. And I know at the time when we lived on the other block of Birch Street, they even painted the numbers on the curbs at one time. If you remember, >> at one time they did. I remember that. >> Yeah. But that's irrelevant. But um I

15
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:35.280
know that I've seen a lot of posts on Facebook about um packages being delivered to wrong residents and such and um I just I don't know why some residents have them and some don't. I mean, I understand that if they do a

16
00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:52.479
residing or whatever that they just don't put the numbers back up, but it's nice to go through a community and see the house numbers, especially if you're looking for a specific residence >> that they are shown. And I would think for ambulance and fire crews, I know

17
00:04:52.479 --> 00:05:08.000
that you can get it on your GPS or whatever, but I would think if there's a a house number >> present, it would help. uh help with a lot of issues. >> We'll take a deeper look into it and see what we can do. >> Put that out there. Thank you guys for listening.

18
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:24.240
>> All right. Thank you, Deb. Is there anyone else that would like to speak to the council? Call a third time. Is there anyone else that would like to speak to the council? Our public open forum is now closed. We

19
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:43.199
have no public hearings. We'll move on to reports and presentations. The EDA report Going back to what Deb was saying, the house numbers are required by our city code and we do send out letters when we realize that ar they aren't up and so we'll pay closer attention public works

20
00:05:43.199 --> 00:06:00.080
police or us. We see we don't remember. We'll make sure to get a notice out to them. So, >> okay. >> Okay. As far as the EDA, they met today at noon. Couple things on their agenda. They did accept the hospitality study and they recommend disposition to prospective hotel developers that we've

21
00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:15.360
been talking to. Also, they have recommended pricing for the author's addition to lots. That's on your agenda tonight. And also, they reviewed the tiff 1-14 job requirements. That's the um savory smokehouse out in the industrial park. So, they have the one

22
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:35.520
on the agenda for you tonight, which is the author's addition to pricing. Okay, questions, comments. Okay, park board report. >> So, the park board met today at 5:00. Uh, they did receive the reports from the public works and campground. Uh,

23
00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:50.160
they do recommend that the city uh solicit quotes for the archery range grading project so that we can get a a tighter number on that. And then also the flag poles for the campground and the public access will be installed next week. So, that's something else they learned. They did discuss the community

24
00:06:50.160 --> 00:07:06.000
garden ongoing uh prognosis. You know, they had talked about letting it go for another year and see how it works out. You know, if it's if it's favorable or not, and then they'll make a final determination this fall on the future of that. And also, they're uh getting some quotes for the replacement of the golf

25
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:21.840
cart for the campground, but those items will be on a later agenda. And the archery range grading project is tonight on the agenda. >> Okay. Any questions or concerns on that? All right, then we will move on to our

26
00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:39.199
action items. 7A, approve resolution 2026-42, awarding bid for senior center parking lot. >> So the the bids for the parking lot were opened on May 28th at 11. And you have the following results. They went all the way from 75,923

27
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:55.599
up to 14172230. So we had quite a wide range and we had uh several biders. We had seven biders, which is good for this time of the year. Uh, as you know, the senior center does have 20,000 in their budget to put toward the project, and we discussed using uh funding in the building

28
00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:11.280
improvement fund for the balance if you so choose. The cash balance in that fund right now after everything is paid. There's 98,682 remaining. So, of that, 55,923 would be transferred to do this project

29
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:27.840
if we move forward with it. and then the balance of that would be put in the debt service fund for that bond. So that is uh what's in front of you tonight is resolution 2026-42 accepting that bid for the senior center parking lot improvement project.

30
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:46.320
>> Okay, questions, concerns? Otherwise, I will look for a motion to approve the resolution 2026-42. >> Motion to approve. >> Motion by Joe. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Scott.

31
00:08:46.320 --> 00:09:06.480
Any last minute discussion, concerns? Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. Five in favor, none against. 7B approved pricing structure authors addition phase two. So

32
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:20.800
now that all the costs have been finalized for this project and the bid has been awarded, the EDA met today and they discussed the pricing structure for the author's phase 2 lots. The pricing that they are recommending is a total price of 585. That's a combination of

33
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:36.880
the lot and the assessments. So and it's the same price for every lot because they're all very similar in size. Like in the last plat we had some smaller ones and some bigger ones. So we um varied the prices, but this is just all in the same price for every lot of 585.

34
00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:54.600
And so that is their recommendation to the city council to approve that pricing structure. >> Okay. Questions, comments? >> And that covers all the costs if they all sold for the entire project? >> Yep. >> It would cover it.

35
00:09:54.800 --> 00:10:10.800
>> Any other questions, concerns? If not, do I have a motion to approve the pricing structure? >> Motion to approve. >> Motion by Heidi. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Scott.

36
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:25.760
Call. Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> I. >> Oppose. Abstensions. >> I. >> Motion carries. Four in favor. None against. One abstension.

37
00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:42.000
7 C. approve resolution 2026-43 soliciting quotes for grading for archery range. >> Um, as you know that they would continue to work through that archery range project. We got estimates for the grading and sight prep, the parking lot gravel and grading, the parking lot

38
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:58.880
post, ballards, covers and chain, target stands, hanging hardware, concrete, bow holders, signposts and outdoor range bags. So the next step would be to solicit quotes for the grading and the site prep portion of it. Following that site prep, staff and volunteers would do the balance of the installation. So, the

39
00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:14.560
park board met today uh prior to this meeting and they are recommending that the city solicit official quotes for the site prep and grading. And we got budget numbers. Now, this would be actual official quotes so we lock in a number if we choose to move forward. That's

40
00:11:14.560 --> 00:11:31.440
resolution 2026-43. >> Okay, questions. Are we going to get a total price for this whole project when you get everything pulled together or? >> Right, we will. We have most of the numbers all together. Um, the grading and the site prep is something that

41
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:48.480
rises to the official quote process. The other ones are smaller items that we're receiving donations for. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Any other questions, concerns? Do I have a motion

42
00:11:48.480 --> 00:12:04.560
to approve resolution 2026s43? >> So move. >> Motion by Brad. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Joe. Last minute discussion. Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I.

43
00:12:04.560 --> 00:12:20.079
>> Opposed. >> Abstensions. Motion carries. Five in favor. None against. 7D. approved grant writing services for AFG Grant Fire Department. >> So, Chief Broman is requesting approval

44
00:12:20.079 --> 00:12:35.600
to contract with WSN for grant writing services when applying for the assistance to firefighters grant. The use of the funds, if awarded, would be the purchase of replacement radios for the department. They did assist us with a grant application in 2018. We were successful in securing the grant for the

45
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:52.160
air packs. The cost is $1,500. It'd be paid for by fire department funds. So, what we're looking is approve the grant writing service agreement with WSN. >> Is it 1500? >> It's 1500. Yeah. >> Oh, not 12 cuz it's 12 on our sheet.

46
00:12:52.160 --> 00:13:08.399
>> It's 12 on the staff report. It's 1500 on the contract. >> Okay. >> It was 1,200 last time. >> Wasn't sure which one it was. Okay. Any questions or concerns?

47
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:23.440
Have we used them at all for fire department grant writing before? >> And for the AFG grant, they have used uh services for WSN. For the the smaller grants, they've done in-house. >> Okay. Okay.

48
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:39.839
>> This one has a lot more complicated um types of fires and and data that needs to be pulled together. >> Okay. Any other questions, concerns? Do I have a motion to approve the grant writing services?

49
00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:54.480
>> So moved. >> Motion by Heidi. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Brad. >> Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed. Abstensions. >> I. >> Motion carries. Three in favor, none

50
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:11.440
against. Two abstensions. 7 E. Approve amendment to special assessment policy. So, as you know, the policy committee discussed the special assessment policy update as it relates to the sidewalks when they're in reconstruction project. This is the the

51
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:27.920
amendment that would actually go into the policy. Uh on the concrete side sidewalks, there's a the first part says new construction is assessed 100% of the abing property owners, which is the developer because he owns the whole thing at that time. and that if the city determines to establish new sidewalks

52
00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:44.000
within existing developments which are not part of a reconstruction, that's also the city. Um, repair would stay the same, which the public works director or supervisor would inspect and tell people they need to repair sidewalks. But then there's the added replacement. If they're part of a reconstruction

53
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:59.279
project, they'll be assessed at the same rate as the street assessment, which at this time is 35%. So that's the that's the piece right there that changes is the uh the when we replace it or reconstruct it goes from 100 to 35. And I just left it instead of putting the

54
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:15.519
number in there saying it's the same as the streets. If we change the street this changes right along with it. So we're looking to approve that amendment to the special assessment policy. >> Okay. Questions, concerns? Otherwise, do I have a motion to approve

55
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:33.519
the amendment to special assessment? Motion to approve. >> Motion by Scott. Do I have a second? >> We'll second. >> Heidi will second it. >> Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. Five in favor,

56
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:49.600
none against. Unfinished business. Building improvement project update. >> So the 2025 building improvement project. The only thing left outstanding within that project is the completion of the wall caps and then the gutters downspouts on the senior center. Once

57
00:15:49.600 --> 00:16:05.279
that's done, we can close out that fund. I mean, obviously, if we transfer money out for the senior center parking lot, that'll come out of there as well. And then that fund will be closed. And so, at the end of the year, you know, we closed variety of funds. Um, we're going to try to do as close earlier in the

58
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:21.440
year as we're able because then that helps with interest allocation for the balance of the funds for the rest of the year. So rather than waiting all till the end. So that's just information only at this time. >> Okay. Any questions on that?

59
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:42.320
Okay. Hearing nothing. We have no new business. We will now move on to consent agenda. We have schedule of claims of a total of 54,69247. And we have a numerous

60
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:59.759
donations that were made toward uh street lighting bracket senior center and especially the flower baskets. I would on behalf of the city and the as a whole I want to thank those people for their

61
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:16.640
contributions. I will not read that whole list. So with that, do I have a motion to approve the consent calendar as presented? >> Sorry. Motion to approve.

62
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:34.720
>> Okay. Motion by Heidi. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Second by Joel. Any other discussion? Call question. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed extension. Motion carries. Five

63
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:51.520
in favor. None against. We have noformational items. It brings us to the end of our >> agenda. Do I have a motion to adjurnn? >> Some move. >> Motion by Brad. Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Second by Scott.

64
00:17:51.520 --> 00:18:03.080
>> Call the question. All those in favor signify by saying I. I >> opposed. Motion carries. Five in favor, none against. Meeting adjourned.
