First item tonight on the motion serial business is a public hearing. It's a property cleanup at 134 Street Southeast. City has received complaints regarding the condition of the property owned by Ron Lindsay 24th Street Southeast.
Pictures are attached. We have no problems. Notice of the public hearing was sent June 22nd, 2026. So pursuant to city code section 6105 and 6104, we're now going to have
close the regular meeting and we will open public hearings now written or verbal anything for you. >> So I have been in contact with the property owner and they have done um
a lot of cleanup. Um she wasn't able to be here tonight. was coming but her father isn't doing well. So, um, so I still would like you to declare nuisance and then we'll continue working with her. >> But you have they have you been there
again? >> Yeah, those pictures are from today. >> Oh, you see All right. Anything else from the public? Shirley, I do have one question. And pile of cement is that >> what's that? >> That pile is that sidewalk section.
>> Well, I don't know. That's what I have to ask her. I don't know if that's they're going to put those down and that's what the shed will go on top of. >> Oh, >> it kind of looks like that. There's two big piles of like >> panels. So, I will ask that question when I talk. over.
So they may not be leaving. All right. So now there nothing else from the public. Nothing else. No letters or calls. Okay. Closed. I will put those back into the regular meeting.
So you want us to still have pass a motion to continue on to make sure she continues. Correct. Y >> do we have a motion to We're going to You've already sent the attorney's letter, correct? >> So, we're going to say that
we got to clean this up. >> Yeah. I'll move to go forward with that. >> All right. Second. >> I'll second. >> All in favor say I. I. I. >> Opposed. That carries. Next item is another property cleanup at
>> 13 15. >> It's right next door. >> Okay. 13 15 street. >> Oh, 154 Street Southeast property cleanup. City has received complaints regarding
condition of the property owned by Michelle Hansen 154 Street Southeast. Pictures are attached on that one. Also notice public hearing was set June 22nd. The letter was sent from the attorney. Anything else? We're going to close regular meeting for public hearing. Public hearing is open. Do you have any
verbal or oral comment or written comments? >> No, they haven't. >> They have not even responded. Okay. Well, that that's kind of concerning, isn't it? >> Did you look at that one when you were
over at 13? >> Yep, that one. They have done some, but there's still more to be done. So, >> so pursuant to city section 6104 and the city council will consider the described nuisance. So we want we would declare this one nuisance also and continue on
with this because the letter has been sent to your attorney hearings. So any other comments from the public hearing none the public hearing for regular meeting. We need a motion to pursue on this one.
Motion to pursue a motion to continue on this property. >> Yep. >> All right. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> All in favor say I. I >> opposed that carry. Next is lead service line replacement
resolution approving bids. City has advertised for bids for the 26 2026 lead service line replacement project. Bid letting was held on June 30th, 2026 11:00 a.m. There were six contractors that bid on the project. The city used the
conventional bidding low bid method for this project. The six beds bids are in front of us. We also see the engineers estimate uh in reliance on experience andor materials and information provided by the contractor. SE engineers can conclude that Ellington drains has the
experience, the ability and sufficient understanding of the project and the equipment to perform the construction for which it bid. Quarterly staff recommends the project be awarded to orange and drainage in the amount of $96,840 which compares very favorably with the
engineers estimate shown above. This allows the opportunity to utilize remaining MPFA funding towards additional water service material investigates and additional service replacements projects this year. questions, discussion.
>> Oh, for either Sean or Jenna, like how can they be that far apart? Is that just by reading that to mean like some people don't need the work, they have too much and so they just aim high just in case or what? So these blood service line replacements are kind of newer for
contractors and Alexson has been doing these in some other locations and is we did talk to them. They are very confident on their pricing and what they are going to be doing here. Um,
and some some companies don't have the equipment to do trench list themselves, but Allison does. Um, so that's one of the reasons why we believe uh pricing is so favorable. The other reason is here
in Stewartville, we allow for polyethylene um service lines where other cities will only allow copper. And that is giving us favors. So, um,
>> plus there's grant money involved, right? >> Plus, there's grant money involved. So, I know that, but I just contractors. >> This is like this could be the biggest uh variation I've seen on any bid that we've thrown out there. It's quite >> the biggest variations I've also seen.
um with talking to Ellingsson, they said if we go and find more that do need replacements, they will stand by this for this fall. So, while they're here, um so it's equitable for us to go.
>> Where where are they out of >> Wester? >> Oh, yeah. That was a nice one to read, actually. So just um for reference, A1 is doing this right now for the city of
Rochester. Um and those bids came in pretty similar to what they were put in up there. Um so and others are working to get into the business of of these leads replacements
since they do know um they're happening everywhere. Good. Good for us. >> No kidding. >> All right. Council action request will be the approved resolution approving drainage and to authorize city administrator shown to sign the contract.
>> Yeah. I have a move to approve Ellington for this project. We have a motion to approve. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Any other questions, discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. Oppos. >> Construction service agreement. The city of Sterville, this is
construction agreement is on a traffic signal project. City of Sterville is entering into Mandot agreement number 1062326 with the state of Minnesota for the new north end traffic signal project at the intersection of trunk highway number 63
at Schuman Drive Northwest. The state will need the attached resolution approved for the authorization of providing payment by the state to the city of the state share of the cost of the signal system and ADA improvements and other associated construction.
This resolution authorizes the mayor and the city administrator to execute the agreement and any amendments to the agreement. Questions or discussion before we vote on it? >> I do have one quick one. John, I got another question for you. >> Okay. So they add in here share the cost
the signal system and ADA improvements. >> Yeah. >> What needs to be improved for ADA when you're just sticking a pole in the ground and light it up. >> And where are they going to go? >> So there's just two peds on the very on the left side of the intersection. And
so there will be two PE ramps and a crosswalk for them to be able to cross Schuman Drive from south and north >> to nowhere. That's it. >> From one pitch to the other. >> Yeah. So that somebody can use a crosswalk to go from Taco Bell to Quick
Trip. >> So that is included within the the package. >> Um we did we did discuss with them and and stated that it would not be favorable to put any other crossings in
on the intersection. >> Thank you for that. What's the estimated start date for this? Do you have any idea? >> We have not even awarded the contract yet. So, we have to approve this agreement with Mandot. Then once that's approved, I can come back and you guys
can award the contract. Then we will be talking with the apparent hope on the start date. >> So, probably not this year. >> It is this year. This is what they can do this fall. >> Okay. Good. Done before school starts?
Not likely. They might have foundations in before school starts maybe, but um we did what the deadline is in the end of the year since it does take time to get these materials in.
>> All right. Any questions, discussion? >> Super special material. >> I think we should make sure that we have the battery backup on these also. We'll have to look into that. I think amendment to the contract.
>> Yeah. Uh >> I just want to make sure that it's talking about the other ones. We have them on the ones out there now. The ones down there. We don't have them here. And we see what happens. Yesterday the power and we see what happens. Uh there's a battery backup that I talked to Greg Wagner that we're putting it on this one
here now. And it's a yearly or >> there's money up front involved with it for the city share. Uh and then there's a $14,500 average 6 to 7 years to replace the battery and that would be the city share also. But we've had some
bad issues when we've been without the street lights when we had the tornado roll through. Uh it was a disaster then too. So I think that would be beneficial to do that. So after we award the contract, then we can look at that amendment.
>> Well, the state given us up, so I wonder if they didn't put it in there already. I just would have to look to see if they put that in there. That just popped up this week. >> We'll take a look. >> We'll figure that one out, too. Thanks for bringing up. Council action requested authorize Mayor King, city
administrator Shimble to sign the cooperative construction agreement. Motion. >> I'll make that motion. Got a motion and a second from you two. >> Sure. >> All right. We got a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I.
>> Opposed. Okay. Next item. Supplemental agreement wastewater collection system model. Supplemental agreement with city engineery. submitted the agreement for professional services for your
review and approval at your special meeting held direction to submit an agreement for the wastewater collection system model currently does not have a collection system hydraulic model to determine capacity and impacts and additions to
the flows. Having this model will greatly benefit the city especially during conversations with potential developers. The fee is hourly estimated to be 7 thou $73,380 including expenses and equipment
agreements there questions or discussion how how uh how many years out would this be beneficial for is this like a 20 year look or is this a 10 year old look, a 5year look or just looking at >> So this is this model is what you have today and every time we add to the
system we add to the model and it will be good as long as it's kept up. >> What are we looking at? just what we're capable of right now or are you looking at what I'm what I'm kind of trying to ask is this
when we have you do this is it kind of give us a good picture for you we can go up to this much 10 years out now we can have >> yeah we'll be able to pinpoint the different um lines and everything
and if a development comes in and they say they're going to have a certain amount of CS flow code that will be coming into the system. We'd be able to model that and see if there if any restrictions happen going down from it and and actually look at the system. Can
we handle it or not? >> Wouldn't be yours out. It be develop. >> So basically it's telling us what we got to change if we bring some more in. >> If we bring something in or make any changes, it would also show us if we do have any restrictions
that we might want to >> look at future upgrades to. Any other questions or discussion? >> The fee is hourly estimated to be 73,000. >> That won't exceed Does that mean it
won't exceed 73,000 or that's what they're guessing it's going to cost us? >> Yes. >> It's just you know that that sentence doesn't really sound right, >> right? It is hourly estimated at that amount. When we get to 80% of that fee,
we will we would talk to you on can we finish it, can we not? You know, what where were the overages, how much would we get done? Um, from what I know on these guys and what they do for the collection system models
and stuff, they they're very good at estimating it. And majority of the time, the estimates I do give you for like my projects, I usually come in longer. I don't end up using that whole budget
on the design. So, we do try to give you good budgeting numbers and not undercut you. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions or discussion? If not, I'll look for a motion to authorize the administration to sign supplement letter agreement. I'll make a motion to
approve. >> Motion second. >> Second. All >> in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos. Okay. >> Supplemental agreement traffic s agreement. City engineer has submitted a
supplemental letter agreement for the traffic signal project for your review approval. This agreement covers a subcontract for soil boring testing with Bron interch. The work was completed April, May, June of 26.
The fee is hourly estimated to be 20,000 including expense and equipment. >> So it was already done, but you don't know how it cost. >> Yeah, I was going to say why is that an estimate? Well, that's our form in our contract, but it was already done and it
will come in under 20,000. The actual amount is $4 under um just to make things not so confusing. But yes, this was work that has already
been completed in order to meet that bidding deadline. Um the Mindot changed their standard for signals. Um, and that went into effect in December of last year. And at that
point, then for them to approve a signal design, it had to go through having a sword at each pool location and a full geotechnical foundation design, which is what we which is what the FDR is. So, we did that foundation design report. in
the amendment I gave you last month. I forgotten to include that portion in it. So, um just trying to get our contracting up to par here. Our original design contract
um for the signal system was um put together in January of last year. So it was well before this change that we got initiated. >> They won't put a pole in the ground
unless it's in the right kind of dirt or >> they want you to they want to make sure the dirt is analyzed. Um so the proper foundation is there because their new signal system their whole mass and mast arms
are very substantial. Is there is going to be a temporary one? >> Yeah. No, we have to put permanent in the river. >> We had to we have to use it was decided that
with the location of the signal system and the amount of wind and the unknown amount of years that it will be a temporary signal system. Um the words that Mindot wants to use is a shortterm
signal system. Um that wooden poles and lines cables holding up the lights would not be efficient um with the amount of wind that we see in that area. So the
request was the requirement was to go to permanent >> we don't >> government is grant we don't agree to it that's the end of the >> I'm fine with agreeing to whatever I just can't understand everything changes
every 3 days it's like come on you guys make a good decision don't blow our money and move forward >> wait for the next election God. >> Anyhow, any other questions or discussion? >> All right. Council action requested to
authorize city administration to sign a supplemental letter agreement. >> I'll make that motion. >> Second. Second. >> We have a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. That will carry. Next. Come on.
Everything's going homestead county. Brent's going to get wired up on this one. Yearly equipment agreement. This is the time to bring up questions. Please find attached. Please find the
annual equipment agreement submitted by Homestead County. This equipment agreement covers equipment operator if the city would need to use them. This year we saw an increase in each line item which was to be expected. Public works director hail recommend approval
of the contract. Is this reciprocal with the county? If they have if we have to help them then do they pay us this much too? >> They pay what ours is set up. >> Yeah. I mean if we agree to this to pay them why we get or do we charge them more?
Well, the thing is if you don't want to use them, we can go someplace else. >> No, I'm just asking you. Is it reciprocal? No, we have our own fee sets. >> We have our own feed schedule. I don't know if it's the same or if it's more or less. I'd have to look, but we don't have haven't dealt with it in so long that I couldn't tell you for sure what
they are. It's not that cool. >> How does a sweeper cost more than a dozer? I mean, I could drive a sweeper. >> Yeah, I don't get that. >> There's a lot of good parts on a sweeper. >> Yeah, >> maintenance expensive.
>> That must be cars in your second highest rated thing. >> And they operate in dust all the time, which is hard, the bearings, and they're just high maintenance piece of equipment. >> Hey, you've only got a couple left. We're trying to make you enjoy these. >> How often we use them, is it? We don't
>> at least approve it every year. >> We approve it every year and I don't think in all the years I've been here we've ever used questions. That's why it's not a this is what they're charging. We can just agree to Yeah. We absolutely have to. These are the rates we're going to have to pay. But if we don't like the rates, we can rent or do
something else if we have to. >> It's kind of just an emergency backup deal to go. >> We've never used it. So we can just >> No problem. >> Jeez. to I'll make a motion to approve it. Wait, I I haven't even asked for one
yet. >> Ask for coming. What is coming? >> What if I said we also got to approve the price? What is that? >> We got a motion to approve the agreement as submitted by All State County. You got a second? >> Second.
>> Everybody wants a second. >> You didn't. >> Okay. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? That'll carry. That case is out of general. No. Yep. Yep. Mayor's mayor staff and consult reports.

You see Superintendent Guy Johnson around you seen him yet? I am not. >> Don't tell them welcome when you see him. >> 44th annual River Antique Show is this weekend. I'll tell you folks, if you never been there, it's a it's a pretty
good show. This is something we do on the weekend. It's going to be hot, but they have cool refreshments there. So, and a big one. Been going to at least 50 of my 69 years.
Overseen Lion's Chicken Dinner. Talk about a good time. Bearcave concerts this week. We're going to have it. We know we are. We can feel it. If everybody doesn't get a heat stroke out there, but it's it's a good one. Mitchell Hall, the Tennessee Trio.
That is a good one. If you haven't been there, I'll be doing my me raffle out there. All kinds of other stunts. We also been able to extend our concert series for three more weeks due to the rain at the tail end. We've got they're coming back. So, that's a good deal. But
before the concerts stuff of the United Methodist Church farmers market, they're starting to get more and more every week as as the season progresses. I'll probably take some purple top turners out there next time and you can have some of them. I'll give them away. You can just have them. You ever try them, C?
>> Nope. >> You might want to try. But last but not least, and we need to once again send out another big thank you to the chamber. What a wonderful Summerfest 26 we had. I mean, they pulled it off
between the rains. How they do that every year, I don't understand, but they make it work. They all did a remarkable job once again this year, and somehow you, like I said, you always make the weather cooperate. So, thank you for that. That's all I have right now. Uh
let's go to the let's see who do I want to pick Bill City Minister >> uh reports in your packet. Obviously uh fun news was the great turnout for library groundbreaking. Thanks to all of you for being there as well and for a
big part of the community that showed up too. So off and running and so uh foundation or the footings are going to end up be going in this week. So, we'll keep you uh posted on the progress there as you start seeing it uh go up out of
the ground. And then obviously second the mayor's thank you for all the volunteers and public works and law enforcement and everybody chamber that played a part sentence to serve uh just putting everything together for Summerfest. So, works out great and
makes our job go a little easier as well. Um and then when we get kind of between Jenna and Sean and we'll talk about a possible workshop or little work session or planning session couple projects at dinner in
>> we'll see back and forth here. >> All right. Thank you, Bill. Any questions for you, Mr. Hearing? None. We'll move on to finance officer Kelly. Have you got any report tonight? >> I've begun working on the budget. So that has started the 2027 year and I'm
working with our software company for our new software for next year. We're working on chart of accounts right now. We're going to be doing some utility dump. We've got the financials over there. They're tying everything out on their side. So that's moving along.
>> Work out be a good deal. >> Yep. >> Any other questions for Kelly? >> All right. I'll take it to public works. Director Sean. >> Okay. Uh reports in there. There's a couple things that I want to go over. Also, uh swim pool. I've gotten some
comments back that some people are upset about the play features being not working. I think we talked about that. I guess I thought we did and everybody was understanding that. Uh I've talked to people about landing those pipes possibly, but they agreed they don't want to do it because we have to drain
the pool back. Uh and to do it, it could depending what you run into. We didn't want to take a chance on that being out for an extended period of time. So, it will be without those play features till the end of summer and then we bring it back this fall. That's when we will do
the repairs. So, uh >> what's the only two options you got, Sean? Either shut the pool down for the rest of summer. >> Shut the pool down to try and fix what we have. I don't know what you'd find. You may end up jackhammering through the bottom and it could be out for an extended period of time that you can't use any of the >> So, is there a sign up to say like why
it's closed? like that might help. >> Well, there might have been some Jake was gone for a little while, Flynn, and I think when he came back, he got bombarded by some people asking and he had signs up. I thought he knew that we were going to they were done for the the year. Uh, but I didn't realize he was
gone cuz Dalton's kind of a go-between. Uh, and he'd been out of town for 10 days, so he didn't get some of that and put the signage up. So, I think that will help. Uh, so he is back now and we've talked to him and told him that that's what it's going to be.
So, uh, the other thing is, and I think we've got a resolution out at the dog park, some disowned people about I asked a fellow just not to drive through the area that's not supposed to be, it's where we burn and stuff like that and public's not supposed to be back in there and he got kind of upset and went
through a little rub on some people were sticking up for him or whatever. But, we're going to put a little handicap sign up there. ing parking so he can back up in that spot to do his things he's got to do. He seemed good with that today. >> Ran into a barricade on purpose. >> Yeah.
>> He was totally couldn't be there. So they start ain't old kid. >> He's pretty my age. He's an old guy. >> Who had who dealt with him? >> Who? >> Who dealt with him? >> Our favorite. >> I went and talked to
>> I mean come on a freaking barricade in front of me. I don't think I'd have a whole lot of where I mean I'd be upset. Yeah. Cool. So, well, I showed some of the guys the one message I got sent to me that was went on and on berating me about everything and but whatever. I I
mean, it's over. I just said, "We're making a bigger deal out of it as I just please don't park there." And we worked out. He actually said, "Well, could you put up a handicap sign?" I said, "Yes, that I will do. That's a good solution." And so, we put it up today already and hopefully that takes care of the issue.
by your mind, wasn't it? And you close it. Yep. >> Exactly what they said. >> Well, you know, some of these people are asking for it. >> Exactly. >> So, uh, then the last thing is Maple Brook subdivision. I included pictures
up there. Back in the early 2000s, we had this issue on 10th Avenue and Third Street Northeast that it electrolysis, water passing through the main creates a current and when it hits the bells, there's a rubber stop at the bells that it seats against and that create arcs
across those bells. Uh, and it creates a current that eats and pits the pipe right there and starts breaking. Well, back then we had break after break after break after break. We had five at one time. Uh, And I I have a feeling we're going to see the same problem in this
area. So, I would like to plan I'm talking to a guy about getting something to line all that pipe up there to bypass this problem hopefully. Uh or come up with different things cuz the pictures there are two bells that are right next to
each other and every 20 ft there's a bell. So, you could be digging every 20 ft in the near future fixing those spots. >> How do they line it? uh they dig at a certain point, then they run chemical inversion. They run a like a tube down the inside of it and then they run hot water through it to
cure it and then the UV and it just cures it in the line and then they go in and cut >> where the services are after. >> So they'd have to dig down at certain >> certain points certain points. >> They fill all that in underneath the ground kind of like >> they cut into the pipe and they'll just feed a whole section down through the
pipe. I'm not sure how far they go. >> Yeah. But then they just they push this pipe through and it clicks inside out, flips inside out as it goes in. And then they do their uh UV light and everything to cure it. >> One of the issues would be that
depending we have to look at where all the services line up and everything, but they'd have to dig in into that service and regrill into this new liner in order to make the connection. So we have to really look at the um feasibility of
doing that at each location versus >> replacing water. >> And we we had this problem then I even called once asked and talked to him about some we were upset at the time that they allowed Pearson to put ductal pipe in in that subdivision. And I don't
know how it got approved but it got approved that he could put duct back in. And here we are 25 years later now dealing with what that is. They are strapped which are supposed to carry the current. In the one picture you can see this picture here. You can see the strap on top of it. Uh and that's supposed to
carry it to prevent it from doing that. How it's not doing what it was supposed to. But it's the same on both these pretty much. They eat at the same point and that's the exact same stuff we saw uh on 10th Avenue and Third Street.
Is that whole addition done like this? The whole Melbrook >> and the private portion is in Fearson's is our lane under their roads. They were planning on having their roads redone. I got a meeting with them set for Friday to explain all this to them to see what they want to do because the worst thing
we can do is they put a new road in at their expense and then we go and tear the thing up how many times in the near future? I'm just presenting the facts and everyone come to an agreement of what we want to do to handle it. But >> you looking for any kind of a motion there?
>> No, not now. Uh until we get numbers back from for sure. I've given the information to Ellings, which has been fair and other bidding stuff, but they actually said that there might be better companies that deal more with water main. They do a lot of sewer. Uh sewer is a lot easier because you got 4 in
things and they can tell right where they are to cut them out where one in services coming in there are a little harder to tell. Uh so they can go back in and robotically cut them out because if you got to dig in at each service length to make that cut then you might as well just replace the whole thing.
So >> it's the holes the whole street like in all the >> all through the sacks are loop and be replaced everything for the loops and the culs which those wouldn't be as bad but it's at least you're digging there you're not tearing straight up everything and the
cost of tearing the road up and patch back in there So you can get the numbers and let us know what's in there. I'd like to know about uh the design plans at the restrooms at Bowling Ridge.
Says to ask you here what's says they were here. I want an update on the design plans with Rolling Ridge. Supposed to be here within two days. She told me yesterday. She responded back to me yesterday and said I'll have them in two days. >> All right. Any other questions for
public works director? Tell the guys thanks. Tell them drink lots of water. Stay hydrated. It's always been my point. Let's see. City engineer Jenna, you got any more stuff you want to tell us tonight? >> Well, I think Bill and I would like to
ask for a workshop to occur next week um to discuss 15th. Um we do have >> discuss what street? >> 15th actually. Are you saying get it done? >> The how to get it done is is what we
need to meet about >> with the engineers. >> Uh the legal how to get it done is what we need to meet about. Um with the township actually owning it, the
bill was written for us to receive the money. >> Oh. Um and in that complexity of it, we need to have a discussion on the best timeline of things. >> Will they send a check? >> Well, right now they can only legally
send the check to us, but we don't own the rightway. Um and then there's some other complications in there that we do need to discuss. So, >> so we want the township on board as we've talked about. They got to be in it
100% with us. Um, as we understand how this funding works, what the legislation says, and then how we divvy up paying or getting reimbursed. It's just to get all that in place. >> I suppose, you know, the company wants

>> Send facts and then you guys can tell me what to do. >> Okay. You got anything else for us, Jenna? >> That's it for today. >> Okay. Thank you. No leverage director, but we got the chief here. Chief, you got a report for us? >> Yeah, the report's in there. We had June
had 66 calls for service, 11 fire calls, 55 EMS. um got our two brand new members that started last month at our business meeting and then our two junior firefighters uh both wanted to join as firefighters. So we got four probationary firefighters now through
December when they'll complete that process. Um we'll be getting just over $6,700 back from Minnesota Board of Firefighter Training and Education. So this is an annual reimbursement for training dollars spent. um we didn't use all that
was allocated for us because we do much of our training inhouse. So we don't see a lot of expense with it. Um so next year I'll ongoing I'll try to use all that. It doesn't cost us anything to leave it on the table, but
there's speculation that if we don't use it statewide that they could take that state funding away. So we want to make sure and utilize it. Um, and then we just, you know, we had some members volunteer some extra time over the Fourth of July events.
Um, and an ongoing project with our record management. Um, we're now receiving dispatch information. So, our calls are being autopop populated in there for our uh, federal report mandates and uh, see a lot better data collection and things like that by the
end of this first year with that program. Always if anybody has any questions, feel free to reach out anytime. >> Are you guys full employeewise now? Like with the cadetses and stuff like that. >> Ordinance allows us to go up to 40.
We're at 36 now. Um I don't see the need or to go to 40. Um so yeah, we're not I would say we're full, but ordinance does allow us if we wanted. any of your team familiar with what
happened with the people in Waka? >> Uh, I don't know of anybody that knows him personally. >> Personally, okay, that's a bad deal. >> Any questions for the chief? Keep up the good work you guys and thanks for all the help on the forth and
stuff to the chief. Y >> pool director is not here tonight. So that'll take us to communication, board reports, chamber of commerce, they're all relaxing after the forest, DDH, we meet next week. Finance, >> library,
>> uh, ground broke last week, >> uh, met last night. Um, they decided on the capital budget ask and updates on a few other projects that are going on. personnel, >> flying zone,
>> public safety. >> Uh the summer fest went good from law enforcement standpoint. Uh only issue we had was a helicopter land on third a Northwest >> was what? >> A helicopter decided to come land right
before the parade and during the parade. >> Not a law enforcement hel or mail or anything? >> No, this is just a someone's personal helicopter. So, that was handled and the FAA is dealing with it now. So, it's past us. I don't think it'll be happening again.
>> Where did they land? >> Uh, right behind the central school. So, yeah, like right in front of Griffin Gay's funeral. >> Street. >> That was something. Yeah, right on the street as people are walking past.
>> Yeah. Yeah, that'll hurt. This one will be bad probably. So, that was a new me I've never dealt with that. And >> it wasn't Dave Thompson retired RPD. It wasn't. Thank goodness. >> Uh the the brush dump things are I say
this now, it's going to bite me, but they slowed down from all the citations we were throwing out, but they're still there. And I foresee that to still happen probably a couple times a week, but it's not as bad as the first month was it's a little bit tough. So, I think
that the word's getting out that people just got to pay attention to what they're doing. So, >> all right. Any questions for >> All right. Thanks, Justin. Public works.
>> Nothing. ready. >> Uh we meet Monday and uh minutes from last meeting in your packet and probably be some good discussions on how all of us member cities are part of it or as we look toward a different regional
planning scenario for all of us. So we're back when that's done. >> Rocog, >> yeah. That's where ROCOG was supportive of our um obviously traffic light uh project and their approval or endorsement to
that. And then we're upgrading some of those streets that we've told you about or Jen has commented to you about. Rog was supportive of that cuz obviously over time that'll help us when we have other things uh on the docket for
improvements or hopeful funding. So no transfer advisory committee tonight. No communications in the packet. Brian, do you want to say anything? It looks like an open light. So, the last motion make a motion to adjourn. Do we have a second? Second. All in favor
