carries I don't need to read that resolution do I in there right moving on General business item description 11th Avenue Northwest south of 10th Street Northwest resolutions no parking and
realignment now that 11th Avenue Northwest south of 10th Street Northwest has been annexed into the city limits and the plans and specs have been approved for bidding the next step is to dedicate the newly alignment the new alignment portion as right of away it was originally just designated as Park
land additionally city engineer opaly is recommending a no par parking restriction on 11th Avenue South of 10th Street Northwest for safety reasons citing the streets narrow width once the realignment and street is complete the city will vacate the old portion of the
street that currently serves as the entrance to 11th Avenue Northwest Council action requested to approve resolution 2025 Das a resolution dedicating land for a city street and
the second one would be to approve resol resolution 20 25- resolution establishing no parking on 11th Avenue Northwest from 10th Street to Northwest or 10th Street Northwest South far back will like the black top
go will it go to like the entrance to the all the way back all the way to there misses property okay okay so our improvements technically go to the edge of Kodiak but then we're putting an
alternate bid in to go all the way back to get pave so yes both as a joint venture with property right so our city project goes to where the improvements where where
Kodiak the entrance will a full-fledged Road built our specs it'll be a black top and then once we get past where bar cave Estates is then it would just be a
black top rural type roadway did you guys plow it all the way down the whole black to we've been doing that anymore that's the agreement with the T all right we're looking for two motions
I'll make uh the first resolution dedicating land for a city street a second all right we got a motion in a second dedicating land for City street all those in favor signify by saying I I any opposed no one carries
and we're looking for a second one to establish no parking on 11th Avenue Northwest I'll make a motion approve second all right we have a motion in a second all those in favor signify by saying I I any he oppos again
carries so Jenny you got your wish you wanted no parking no parking be hard to park on the street does that go so right into the right into the park it'll be no parking from 10th Street into the park because that's
going to be I mean it'll be C there'll be turn Lanes yes there'll be no parking that'll be an issue I can show you okay well that would be good though because there'll be that a new entrance off of 11th Avenue to get into the park right correct so you don't want have
anybody blocking that yeah but they will right yeah they will that's why I'm saying there would be an issue just when when it gets so packed in there people just be the 4th of July not saying people will abide by the rules just
will rules is there a way to connect both parking lots so is that I can't remember if that was in the plan or not we looked at that we decided to take them away from each other so that we don't have people trying to cut across
and bypass what would actually control okay you'd have the sofball players using that and going through when you have young kids getting out for soccer and stuff and they'd be driving right through we didn't think that was a great idea but we do have land where we
can expand the softball one we're going to go kind of to the East and then North more but try to keep a buffer up there with trees or something we're we're looking to create more parking areas but not actually combine the two blocks to each other so that we are controlling
access points sounds good sounds all right another order of General business believe it or not it's request to purchase something through Public Works multure request but in Sean's defense he
did bring it up at the last meeting so at the last council meeting director hail brought forward discussion regarding the mulching of the Buckthorn barricade Park he explained at the time that the goats are performing well but with the taller plants continued to drop their berries he felt we needed to clear
those with mulching noting the concern with mulching and clearing the area which will then be looking Barren he also met with representatives of the park board and Public Works committee to get their perspective it was agreed that mulching was more environmentally preferred than
using chemicals to kill the taller Buck Thor and how tall does that get it's like a fulls siiz tree jeez Hill received four quotes for two different Siz mulches mulching machines sorry public works as recommending approval of the diamond 50-in drum
Mulcher over the less 61 in drum multure because the hydraulic flow requirements something that I'm pretty concerned about are less and recover uh and recovery time will be quicker as this is not in our C it is recommended 50% of the costs come from
the C 50% from the storm water fund as a machine will be a great asset to use for maintaining around our ponds so the smaller machine quote we have an echo equipment Diamond sk50 uh that's the one inol that's what
you guys are recommending right 22,000 Senco Diamond 50 in 28985 larger machines River Equipment battle ax L 23808 haml Equipment battle ax L 2700
20,700 Council action requested approve the purchase of the diamond sk50 muler from Echo equipment for $22,000 that some that you guys just tear into yourself like your guys will learn how to run that and yeah uh we will go out and mulch everything that we
can mulch with that and that will give us access to get in and cut some of the bigger that you're not going to take these bigger trees down like this that are the buck th out there but once we get all the smaller stuff it gives us access to go in there and get that stuff knocked down that is the only way we're going to get ahead of this in my opinion
you said it went from not being able to see through there at all to there's areas where you can no it's it's going to be and that's my concern is you're going to have people are upset because it's going to be Barren but right now if you go look out there in the areas we've done it there's no good hardwood trees
they're all mature to the point where there's going to be nothing to reced out there if we don't do something with it in the near future you're going to lose all our mature Oaks out there going to die off and no new seedlings are going to be coming so you either got to do something with it soon or you're just going to be Buckthorn and that's fine if
that's the route you choose but for me looking for a motion uh to purchase the multure I'll make a motion to approve cool we got a motion to approve we have a second second that thank you sir uh although we have a
motion in a second all those in favor signify by saying I I all any opposed all right that motion carries just like that we're May on to Mayor staff and consultant
