Those in favor of approval say I >> any opposed are approved. We have time on our agenda for visitors. Is there any visitor like to address the council on any agenda item? Hearing none. We also have time for
general visitor conference. Is there a visitor who would like to press the council on another matter? Hearing none, we will move on to the approval of the consent agenda. The consent agenda begins with the uh with the memo on page eight of the packet and the concludes with a resolution that
appears on page 3. The consent agenda includes the following tree license approvals for man cable landings July 15th through April 30th. The following uh employee appointments uh Caitlyn
Krueger, Finley Olsen, Michaela Han, and Eddie Kiser. The positions and wages are listed in the packet. We have one board appointment that's Jasmine Florence Flores to the EDA with a term date ending December 31st, 2028, as well as a
schedule of dispersements for June 18th, 2025 through July 9th, 2025. Uh are there any questions or is there Discussion of any other consent agenda hearing none. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda?
>> Second, please. >> I resolution is approved. We have no items of unfinished business tonight. Our first item of new business is a donation acceptance to the park library
is here. [Music] >> Good evening, madame mayor and members of council. Hi, I'm excited to come before you today to um share the news that we have received a very generous donation from the Carl and Verna Schmidt
Foundation for the Gman Park improvement project phase one specifically for the literary garden for $25,000. um they have been a wonderful partner of the library and of the city for many many years. And so this contribution continues to show their um support of
what we do and of this amazing project that we are now starting. And so I would like to not only uh have this donation accepted this evening, but also recognize this um long-term relationship and support that the Schmidt Foundation is giving to driver to the city and
extend our thanks on behalf of the city. Thank you, John. Any questions or discussion? >> I'll chime in as somebody who I currently uh represent the city council on our library board and previously before I was served on the city council, I was also on the library board for two
terms. And wow, the the uh generosity of the Carl and Bernish Foundation really makes a difference in our community uh for everybody who uses the library. So just can't thank them enough for once
again uh coming through and supporting with that said. Is there a motion to do the resolution of H35 accepting the Carl? Next up, Community Center. >> Again, Madame Mayor and members of council. Thank you. We I am here tonight
to uh continue the conversation. Um we've had a few times regarding the um topics in the community center of electrical infrastructure and price research system. Um after many of our discussions and Eric and I continue to work with IFC
report on the building, we will we are ready to go out for bids there to solicit it and see where this project comes in. As a reminder, um, this is in the 2025 budget under funds available for that. Um, in our
last meeting with ISG, Eric and I sat down and talked to them and figured out the best way to proceed with this. And rather than having ISG solicit for us and on our behalf, they said they would be better to be uh act on more of an
advisory role. They could charge us And so we are seeking approval to move forward with solicitation of this bid. I just wanted to question
other ways to do this. izing solicitation of bids for the community center electrical infrastructure and transfer switch system upgrade. >> So moved. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. >> Council member Sharstrom.
>> I. >> Mayor Noel. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> Hi. >> Council member Weisenfeld. >> Hi. The resolution is approved. Next up, 2025 fee schedule modification. Thank you, John. Uh, regarding cannabis, and
we have Steven Winkler here to tell us about that. >> Good evening, Madame Mayor and members of the city council. Um, I did draft a memorandum on this issue beginning on page 39 of the packet. Um you'll likely recall that last year the city council
passed an ordinance um uh regarding the local um regulation of cannabis now uh that it is legal following the passage of um the local ordinance the uh there
was an addition to the 2025 fee schedule that regulates the registration fees um that um the city can charge to retailers. Um for some additional background, um the Office of Cannabis Management is responsible for lensure of
uh various cannabis businesses in the state. I think there's 13 different kinds of lensures that you can get. Um as the city here, we're only considered or um concerned with five of those um
that are listed on page 40. basically the five types of retailer um that you can or retail business that you can engage in. So when the 2025 fee schedule was set, it was set for two different
kinds of fees. Initial registration fees um which can be charged at a maximum amount of $500 per statute or renewal fees which can be charged at $1,000 um by statute. And those two amounts
work in what I am guessing will be the overwhelming uh majority of retail uh lentures that the city will encounter. However, there is a single exception for lower potency hemp edible retailers. So
if u a business obtains that kind of license from the state and comes to the city to register its business here locally, um the way the registration fees are calculated, the maximum amount
that the city could charge in an initial registration fee is $250 and the maximum renewal amount is $125. So, um, as it is currently written in
the fee schedule, the, um, the amounts do not cover all potential, uh, lensures or, um, or encounters that the city might have with potential retailers. So for that reason, I I propose the
following modification also on page 40 uh of the packet that basically delineates the five kinds of retail businesses uh for which the city could um require um registration and fees um
and those amounts um that the city can charge for initial registration um and renewals. Um, so if that isn't enough of an explainer, we would be asking that the uh fee schedule get um or be
modified to reflect that change and I'm happy to answer any additional questions or at least attempt to that you might have on the subject. >> Thank you. Are there any questions or is there discussion? >> Um, so first and foremost, I'll make
I've been very clear on this since the cannabis became legalized that I to make sure that we put no unjust burdens on these businesses or additional restrictions other than what the state is providing. We're electing to go at the highest
dollar bill allowed. How did we come to that? Well, what I would say um based on and I haven't reviewed all the legislative history on the passage of of the cannabis bill, but the way it is
structured, particularly if you look at um cannabis micro businesses, which is on page 40, that top one, the the design of the fee schedule and how it's written in the statute strongly indicates that
that is the basically that's the amount that the that it appears that the Senate or the the the the state um would propose that local uh local cities or other local entities are able
to charge in that it sets up a license fee that is very minimal and then a an annual renewal fee that's that's twice as much. that basically pegs how much local or like local business or local organizations or cities could charge in
this amount. So it just an overall review of the of the the statutory scheme strongly suggests that that's what the state anticipated uh local entities would charge in those fees. And then also um considering that
the various types of retailers, the lensure fee can go all the way up to $70,000. That $1,000 renewal fee for instance is very small compared to what the state is charging in almost all circumstances
regarding the lensure fee and particularly the renewal fees. those renewal fees get very large um after um after a retailer has been in business for two years. So looking at that also what this what the city is able to pull
from that is very small compared to what these retailers are already paying in in license fees. Again that does not mean that the city has to charge the maximum amount. the city could charge a smaller amount, but also there is certainly um
leg work that has to be done uh both at city offices. There's inspections involved with all of these things. There's reporting back to the state that we've actually fulfilled our responsibility as a as a uh as a local entity. Um, and so given that as well, I
guess the fees, even the maximal amount of fees seem appropriate, but it's certainly well within the right of of this council to to charge less for those registration fees if if you so choose. um the last paragraph
um of my memo regarding alternatives or variations. I also I also suggested that noting that um really if the easiest way theoretically would be to charge all initial registrations at $250 and
renewal fees at $125. That would cover all retailers. But again, you w you wouldn't be you wouldn't be maximizing the amount of fees that would go back towards paying employees and everything else that has to do the work in order to to register
these companies. So it wouldn't be it's not my recommendation that the council follows that, but you certainly could if you wanted to. >> How many manh hours is it going to take for us to register these companies and or do the compliance?
>> This is so Let me jump in. I don't know that we know that. I can also tell you that it is more than just the registration and any annual renewal paperwork that needs to be processed. Local units government including the city of St. Peter are responsible for a number of the inspections as well. And
so it's certainly something that we can analyze more as we get more into this. Um but just as a comparison, this is um well liquor license fees are less than 2,000 bucks. They're around $1,600 if I remember appropriately. So the
discussion with the council is that this was a reasonable place to start. Usually our goal with fees is to try and recoup our cost depending on how many you have and the amount of time, effort, energy that's necessary to inspections and renewal inspections and check for age appropriateness and all those things.
This probably is in the ballpark, >> I think, as best as we know so far. And do we know how we're comparative to other cities in nearby in the region? >> I don't know.
>> Okay. >> Probably so new that >> right. This is uh again this is I think you used an expression earlier today that we're flying the plane as we're building it here and that's certainly the case with with all of this stuff.
But for like for instance the if the if the fees that we're charging are pegged on the on um the cannabis micro businesses which I my understanding of the discussion among other city attorneys and other organizations is
that it's it's believed that that will be the overwhelming amount of of licenses that we see. If you go one step up to those mezo businesses, then the licenses licensing fees go from, you know, the initial fee goes from zero to $5,000 and the renewal fees go all the
way up to $10,000. So, especially at that point, what the what the city is able to charge out of this is is pales compared to what they're already getting socked by the state. Again, that doesn't necessarily justify it, but it sort of puts into perspective the different
kinds of fees we're talking about here. this registration fee versus the lensure fee. >> Darl, can you have something? >> Just the last session too, I believe that the state pulled back all the revenue sharing for any type of cannabis tax coming to us. We were looking at getting like 20%ish
>> 50%. >> Is it 50%? Zero completely. >> It's zero now. So unless I'm mistaken, this is really our only dollars we will get from this business within our community besides the normal property taxes and things like that.
There's no revenue sharing from the tax at this time. The state took it all back to balance the budget. >> The main reason I'm pushing on this is I just want to make sure that those fees are not overly high on purpose to be restrictive. You know, I think we've
been I've been very clear council members have been that we want to encourage businesses to come to town. We don't want to be like some of our neighbors that have made it virtually impossible for these businesses to enter the community. >> If I could, Madam Mayor, I think I I would not disagree. The council's been
clear um based on my understanding what other communities are doing. you are far less restrictive in many many many other areas including the number of licenses that would be available including the land use requirements that are in place, buffer zones, um time of sale you
provide to follow the state statute which allows for the maximum hours of sale um days of the week. And so I think this follows with that that you have um met the letter of law and have been very unrestrictive compared to other folks.
And if I could just tag on that, um the also the the overall statutory scheme in this area specifically prohibits local government from interfering in this business in any way whatsoever. I mean that's very clear throughout the
statute, but it does let us it does provide us the ability to collect these fees in this circumstance. So, um, a statute that's designed to not allow local governments to interfere in cannabis business generally does allow
us to provide for ourselves and the work we're doing in this area with these fees. >> Any further discussion, questions? >> If I can, the overarching goal of this coming before the council was to correct or update your fee schedule. And so,
that's that's why this comes before you tonight. All right. Hearing nothing additional. The resolution modifying the 2025 fee schedule is on page 42 of the packet. Is there a motion to approve? >> Second.
>> A motion and a second. Call please. >> Mayor Noel. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> I. >> Council member Wisenville. >> Hi. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> Hi. >> Resolution is approved. Next up, civil service commission ordinance
modification. M members, that's me. The information is included and starts on page 43 within your packet. Mayor members, this is something that not only this council, but previous councils have talked about on numerous occasions throughout really probably the last decade or so. Um it's often times people
have a misconception related to what the civil service commission does and why civil service commissions were put into place. And without going into a significant amount of history, I would say it was put in place a time before there were lots of rules, laws, and administrative procedures related to
hiring and firing of civil servants, including police officers. Many of the functions that civil service commissions provide in other communities are driven almost entirely by what we might consider today HR functions. So, what's the criteria for hire? What does the
application look like? Um, what's the job description? Those are all things that are either handled administr administratively or as an example with a job description must be approved by the city council per your policies here in St. Peter. So these are not boards or commissions that get to tell the police
department what color the squad cars are or when they can work or how many shifts or how many officers or any of those kind of things. Those things are not covered. Now, we often hear about communities that have boards, citizen advisory boards or other boards that do
those kind of things, but that is not what's provided for as a part of state statute for civil service commissions. In addition, I would say most of those communities that we hear about that have those types of things going on are home ruled charter cities and so they operate under a different set of statutes than
you do in St. Peter. You happen to be a statutory a city. So the discussion has gone something like this over the last number of years. It's hard to get it filled. Do they really have a mission and purpose within St. Peter and how St. Peter is statutoily regulated and how we
function related to the hire or termination or discipline of police officers? What processes, what scores, what testing is done. Those are all things that are either handled administratively. They are handled in some instances by the police chief like deciding what color squad cars are or
they are handled by post which is the police officer training training board that dictates the type of education that's necessary to receive a license to be a practicing police officer within the state of Minnesota. With all of that and with challenges related to getting
people to serve on these things, um we've struggled to make this work well. That brings forward the discussion over the last decade on numerous occasions related to whether we should continue to have a civil service commission. We provided information within your packet related to the state statute, state
statute 419, that indicates how a city council can eliminate or maybe disband a civil service commission. And so that's only done in two ways. One of which is a unanimous vote of the city council. You've talked about this. We provided a draft. The draft of the ordinance change
really is an all elimination. So instead of having uh an ordinance that says there shall be a civil service commission and here's how appointments work, what it will say is this space is reserved for future use. And that does then eliminate the civil service commission. That draft was reviewed by
the city council. It's been published according to the rules that you have in the state law and it's an appropriate time to bring that forward to you. Um, the ordinance within your packet is included just after the memo on page 45. I'm sorry, it's a little bit further down after the state statutes. Give me
just a second to get to the right page here. U, but it is included in your packet. And again, it it doesn't say a whole lot because really what we're doing is eliminating all the language that puts a civil service commission in place according to your ordinance. Um,
it's on page 53. So the recommendation from staff after following the procedures, the number of discussions, review of the state statute and how this works is to approve the attached ordinance again that's on page 53 which eliminates all the language related to the commission and
establishes division 11 under article five reserved for future use. >> Thanks Darl. I guess a legal question. Unanimous vote of the city council, is that just the unanimous vote of the is a quorum pres?
>> Um, I don't want to speak for your city attorney on that one, but I can tell you my experience is that when state state statute in very specific instances and some of you might understand or have experience with this related to land use says very specifically what is a quorum
or twothirds or how that fits together. This statute does not. It's our belief as we move forward that it's a unanimous vote of the city council and that includes you, those who are present. Otherwise, someone could never show up at a meeting and ensure that an
ordinance of this type never passes. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> So, I support doing this. We've had a lot of conversations and I know the wise. Um, but if I am a resident of St. Peter and I see that you know the duties
of the commission included um absolute control and supervision over employment promot promotion discharge and suspension. Um you know what would you say if I was concerned about um accountability or transparency and what are the systems
that exist to ensure that those things happen the way they need to be? So under state statute um under statutory a city the city council now fulfills those rules and frankly would have fulfilled those rules in the past >> and so there is a function and an
organization that's directly elected by the citizenry to control those type of issues and that includes all you here that are at the table. um you have a number of processes and laws that relate to how employment must occur, the level of licensing that occurs and oftentimes
well it it's true that civil service commissions were established at a time before those types of procedures, rules and laws were in place and now they are in place. >> So we had the civil service commission which oftent times um reviewed
promotions and job descriptions and things like that. Are there any of those duties that are are all of those duties that they did is that shifted to the council or is some of that going to admin administration? >> Some of that does go to admin. So, as an
example, from an administrative perspective, um, including your HR staff, we're making determinations what the ad looks like, what the criteria is for hire, what the scoring is related to the experiential or educational background that candidates have. and we have a wellestablished process for that
that you use across all positions within your city um that functions cleanly, well, efficiently and of course we still have to meet the rules that are established by the state of Minnesota for police officers to be licensed. >> Thank you.
>> Any additional questions or discussion? >> Hearing nothing further. Uh the ordinance uh the resolution appears on page 53. Is there a motion to to approve an ordinance amending St. Peter City Code Chapter 2 Administration article 5
boards commissions authorities and committees division 11 police civil service commission. >> So moved. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Call please. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> Hi.
>> Council member Wisen. >> Hi. >> Council member Shro. >> Hi. >> Mayor Noel. >> Hi. The resolution carries. Uh, next up, tree ordinance amendment modification. >> Mayor and members, this is an effort to
clarify your ordinance. As members may recall, and even discussed on a couple occasions, and was brought to your attention by folks within the community, you have what I would call two tree lists. Those are lists of trees that are allowed to be planted within the city of St. Peter.
You have a defined process for that within boards and commissions and you have a thing called the treeboard which establishes that list. Then we had another list that was included in your city ordinance. At times those were not congruent. Our goal in the modification
of this ordinance is to not have to worry about them being congruent but to use the ordinance and say whatever the resolution says that's approved by the tree board and approved by the city council is the list. there's not a separate list enumerating all of the different trees within your ordinance.
Um the reason we do that is to not have to worry so much about continuity. It keeps it up to date on a regular basis. Um the tree board meets on an annual basis and so they update that based on recommendations from staff and other folks including changes that have been made recently relative to if you're a
green thumb person you'll understand zones of planting within the United States and how those have moved according to the Department of Agriculture. And so our again, our goal is to have your ordinance point to that resolution that is approved generally every year, but from time to time by the
city council when a modification occurs based on recommendation from the tree board. That's the goal of this ordinance change. I believe that's what it says and that's what it would do. It's been published according to your rules. You've talked about it a few times. um I think will be helpful not only to staff
but to council and to the public because it will eliminate potential for confusion or at least reduce it. >> Yeah. And the the list appears on the people can find it on our website. >> They can find it on our website. >> Uh it's maybe a little more user friendly than uh the website with all the ordinance. Although we all love
looking at that. Maybe your average resident isn't as keen on ordinances as we are. >> So there are no other changes. Um, madame mayor and members, I know the ordinance that we have provided for you in your packet, but it reiterates the setbacks and those types of things. That is not a change that's occurred. This is
only pointing to that resolution again that's approved by the tree board and the city council enumerating the type of trees or species of trees. >> Any questions or discussion? Hearing none, the ordinance appears on page 56 of the p of the packet amending
St. City Code Chapter 54 Vegetation Article 5 Tree Maintenance. Is there a motion to approve? >> Second. We have a motion and a second. Call please. >> Council member Pettis. >> I. >> Council member Wisenfeld. >> I. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> I.
>> Mayor Noel. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> The ordinance is approved. Our last item of uh new business is the new city hall solicitation of bids. M members, included in your packet, starting on
page 58 is a lot of information related to the Scholarship America building, which we're now calling the new city hall. At some point, it will just be called city hall, but for now, it's it's the new city hall. Um, you have a committee that's been assigned that's done a lot of work. You've hired a
contractor or a design professional team through ISG architects, engineers. Um, you've also hired a construction management firm to help guide you through this process and help develop this information so that you can go out for bids on what is some new
construction but mostly remodeling of the Scholarship America building. You've talked about this or the issues surrounding this building on many many occasions and I think you're at the point today um where if you approve specifications and allow for solicitation of bids that process can
move forward. Um, we would anticipate that if the council approves it tonight, um, that bid opening would likely be July 31st or more likely August 6th and then would be reviewed on August 11 by the city council. We've talked in workshop about the process for this. You
talked about bathroom tile, you've talked about colors, you've talked about u windows, you've talked about doors, you've talked about door handles, you've talked about all kinds of different things at the committee level and some at the council level. Um, and so again, um, it's my perspective that you are at the point to be able to prove this and
make this project go forward. I'm happy to answer questions related to process. I will tell you that in the olden days, we would measure specification books by the number of pages. Now, we measured them by kilobytes, and it's a lot of kilobytes that make up the two manuals
that are the specifications for this. The council's been very clear to staff that you want to have a friendly opportunity for local smaller contractors um to be able to participate. So to that end, we will we have hard copies that can be available and folks don't have to submit their
bids electronically. They could submit them in paper if they wanted to as well as a part of that bid opening process. Um again, happy to answer any questions as best as I can. Uh the information is included in your packet along with some information related to budget as we've
talked about and this is on page 60. So if people are following along, they can review and see this budget as a part of the packet. If they go online, you'll be able to see the property acquisition cost, what we anticipate for special testing, for demolition, for construction, for paying your engineers
and architects, for paying your construction manager, for furniture, for signage. All of those things are taken into account as a part of this overall budget. and um we are in the ballpark of where you anticipated from the December meeting when you took action to purchase
the Scholarship America property. It also includes some imagery related to a floor plan as you see here that's colorcoded. Um light blue is transit, dark blue is police department including garages. yellow, green, orange, and a
really beautiful kind of mauve color represents the other city departments. Whether it's finance is green, of course, community development is orange, and for some reason, administration is a nice mauve color. Um, so you've had the chance to review that with your architectural and engineering team. Um,
there's some imagery about additions to the building. What you see in the lighter color there is the building as it exists and the blue here is the garages and how that will look and how that architecturally um works um with the design of the current building. Again, part of the
council's goal has been to reduce the amount of removing walls, changing things, use what we can, recycle where we can. And so you see that reflected in a lot of the plans and specifications here. You'll see some inside views of some of the office areas. Um, as a part
of this, um, you'll see public counter spaces. You'll see an entryway. This would be a hallway that goes towards um, restroom facilities and the public share of the building. Here's an image or two related to what the council chambers. And I think it's important to note um,
the school board has indicated they cohabitate with you and use your chambers as their board chambers as well. Um so here's some again some additional computerenerated imagery um surrounding how that will look. Um some
areas entering the building and exiting the building. This happens to be an area that shows the walk up area in the police department um which will be on the north side of the building. And so there's a transaction window there. Again, if people want to see more, there's some more included in the packet. Uh but my hope is get to have
you be in a position where you can approve the resolution that's attached which allows for approval of the specification and instructing your staff and construction managers to start the bid solicitation process.
>> Thank you. Uh any questions for Todd or discussion >> hearing? No further discussion. We've talked for folks at home. We've talked about this a lot. There's a a committee that uh both Daryl and I represent the council on. Um and so uh this is not the
first time any of us are seeing this. >> It is not. >> Um anyh who the resolution approving specifications and directing solicitation of bids is on page 66. Is there a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. Have
>> a motion and a second. Call the please. >> Council member Weisenville. >> I. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> I. >> Mayor Noel. >> Hi. Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> Hi. >> The resolution is approved. Uh we are going to move on to reports and the only
report item I had tonight is a recognition of Susan Bruns for 36 years of service to the city. >> Susan is um near retirement here with the city and she you know we have a process for employees can come and visit
with you at their time of retirement or not. We don't make them, but Susan was gracious enough to come and help us with public access and recording the meeting today. So, it seemed really appropriate that we recognize her and all her years of service in a lot of different very important roles for us. So, we are sad
to see her go. Excited for her next adventure. And I don't know, I think we should give her at least a round of applause for sure. >> Susan was very clear she did not want to be on camera this evening, but we want to recognize her all the same. So, thanks Susan. We really appreciate that.
Thank you for It's It's amazing. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> Well, top that everybody else, city council members, do any of you have reports? >> Not for that. >> How about our city administ? >> I do have a few things that I want to
mention just quickly. We want to reach out and say thank you to Dairy Queen. Um certainly we have a lot of folks that help make some of our programs go, whether it's with the police department or rec staff or public works or finance. We have a lot of folks that participate. Um, but I have the sneaking suspicion that Dairy Queen was hopping the other
night when it when it was con with a cop. And so if you bump into Tim who's the owner of Dairy Queen, thank him. Um, who can go wrong with a free ice cream cone from Dairy Queen and is a wonderful event and happens on an annual basis. So he's been very gracious with those resources over a number of years. Um, I
also want to mention Gorman Park and the construction here has started. I don't know pee could could you say a few words? would you mind saying a few words about what's what's going on at Gorman Park? Um folks should note if you drive by as of today um the orange and tan
playground is gone and really the start of some of the work to prepare for the new tremendous jungle gym apparatus is going on. >> Correct. We're as you guys can tell we're doing this in two phases. So we're trying to leave the uh tremendous
playground up while construction happens on phase one. Um Neielson uh concrete and asphalt is the uh general contractor for this project. And as you can see, we demolished the old tan and orange playground and we're in the process of
mobilizing the contractor in and he will be starting removals uh shortly. And so we anticipate this project will continue uh into September and October. Uh we do have the equipment is at the uh distributors and so they are ready to
go. It's just a matter of getting the site work done. Uh you can see some of the protective fencing that is up there. So please pay attention to the fences so you don't get inside the construction zone and I remind you that coming off fifth street you'll still have access to
tremendous. >> Thank you Pete very much. >> Yeah. Thank you. It's a big project, important for Pete's team and the whole community and the recck department. And speaking of the rec department, Gorman Park, um this might be just a smidge late, but Wednesday is party in the park coming up and so we have a number of
different departments that will be participating along with other groups from the community. We've done this on an annual basis for a number of years and it's a just a great opportunity to be out and about and see some of the things that are going great within your community and play around. There'll be games and food and all those kind of things. So, we really want to encourage
people to be there. Um, we do want you to pay attention if we can make it happen. Fifth Street will be closed from Grace to Malberry as well. So, um, watch for that. On Washington, you'll have to park. Um, certainly a little bit further south on Fifth Street or in the
community center parking lot. Um, there'll be a lot of space that's available. >> What time, Todd? >> Oh, forgive me. I don't remember what time. Maybe you know, Carrie, it's a it's a early to mid evening event. >> So, I think it's five o'clock. Chief, maybe you remember. Do you remember?
>> Is this for the event on Wednesday? Yeah. >> As far as I know, it was a a morning event. >> Morning event. >> What to do and be >> Well, I have great confidence that by this by um tomorrow at noon time. There'll be more information on our
Facebook page to get that figured out. I'm sorry. I don't remember the time. I should have looked that up. You're zooming in on there. >> It's 9:00 a.m. >> 9:00 a.m. Oh, 9:00 a.m. >> That's what we've been doing the last two weeks. Okay. Sure. >> All right. Thanks, Chief. Sorry about that. >> To plug Facebook, City of St. Peter
Facebook, uh St. Peter Police Department Facebook. You're going to find a lot of great information about what's happening in our community. You might find some fun stuff on the the St. Peter Police Department Facebook, too. So, it was >> Yeah. All right, Madam Mayor. The last one that I have is that, as I'm sure all
of you know, we went past the 4th of July. So, arguably what most people would call the midpoint of summer, but it is a high point of summer in St. Peter with the Fourth of July event and celebration. And I did want to thank certainly all the crews, the police department, Pete's crews and teams that keep things clean and make the park look
great. And the Chamber of Commerce and all the volunteers that really um do wonderful things to put on that event. Um weather was warm but beautiful in the morning. Great day to be out there at a parade and um the chamber was happy with the turnout not only for the parade but
all the folks that participated in all the great things that were going on in Muna Square Park. So thanks to the chamber and again especially all those volunteers >> and that's all I have. >> All right. Well, seems like a great time for a meeting to be adjourned. Is there a motion to adjourn? >> So moved. Second.
>> All those in favor of adjournment say I. >> I. Any opposed? We are. Thanks everybody.
