time, too. Cruisers car show every Friday until late fall. They get a real good turnout. They get some real nice vehicles out there. Stop out. Legion, two brothers. They fill both parking lots up. Good turn. And don't forget the farmers market every Wednesday through
September is at the United Methodist Church. Swing on out and see what they got. I get more goodies every week as the gardens start to bear fruit. That's all I've got for tonight. No city administrator report. Uh finance officer, you got a report?
No report. No report. Public works director. No reports. Uh city engineer Jana, you got anything for us? I'll tell you a little bit. All right. All right. So for this year's CIP
project, 11th. We're just waiting for paving. Um but otherwise things are looking pretty good there. Um update on Legacy Drive is we still do not have approval from BP. We have given them two
additional designs and they were rejected. Um, so still working on trying to find something that can carry all of the water that crosses that
field. Um, and we to be able to get it under our new proposed collector roadway and fit within their guidelines. Did they ever offer those design? Well, yeah, they did request for a storm
sewer um a lift station, which um it would cost more than just building a bridge. So, we're not going to go there.
They don't want water going under their pipeline. Is that it? Or over it or what? They don't want our pipe going over them. They don't want more than 5 ft of cover over their pipe. Um, which if we keep
their two foot required um cover between pipes, if we did put a pipe over them and then we need two feet from the top of the the roadway down to the pipe to not get settlement issues and everything. We actually can't fit a concrete pipe in there and we need a 48
inch, not six. Um, so having a hard time with that. Originally with our discussions, they had stated 8 to 9 ft of cover might pass and then my the most recent conversation
was five. And so that's not physically possible to put the storm pipe over them. Um but they go under the drainage soil. So having we're working on some different
alternates but um having difficulty you know making water flow uphill. Yeah. Any idea on the black top on something? I do not know. um I can make a phone call and and we can I see they got the option out there and
stuff so I thought I thought maybe get pretty close. It's we're getting very close. I'm just not sure about their actual schedule right now and nobody was on site today for a meeting. So, um but I will reach
out to Rochester Sand and Grail and see what their schedule looks like. Um but I'm assuming they'll come and do the first first course, then they'll pave the trail and then they'll do the wear course. So, everything will be done
this year. Oh, okay. So, is that cuz there's no pipes in the road or what? Very little digging and Yeah. So, might as well just get it done. Any questions?
Anybody else any questions? enough to cover them all down. Thank you. You're welcome. All right, Nate, library director report. Okay. Um got a busy week at the library.
Um we've got uh Lego club tomorrow and um I also want to give a shout out to the public works department. They built us a really remarkably great ramp for our potato races on um that are going to
happen on Thursday afternoon. Um I did a lot of really good potato shopping and um uh you're going to have some Formula 1esque potatoes. You're going to have some NASCAResque potatoes. You're going to have some drag drag race potatoes.
And uh we'll just see how fast they all can go. And we're paying you for this. The potato shopping was on my watch. I was going to put in a plug with the state senator about some money for a library. I don't think I heard all that. I'll get
caught up. So, uh but yeah, we're um a lot of great stuff's happening. Um really really busy uh just about every day. Um and uh looking forward to our puzzle uh kids and grown-up puzzle races next week. And
then um the yo-yo performance um I think it's going to be really fun on Monday evening with and like a workshop for anyone who is wanting to find just the right yo-yo for them. Uh as a chance for anyone eight and up to do that up to 20 people. So I think that's going to be
pretty cool. Oh, and I still have um this week's kit is a pine cone bird feeder and um and we still have like 50 of these that haven't been spoken for yet. And uh through some really elite internet shopping, uh we
got pretty darn big pine films that go along with this. So, um and yeah, I mean the kids who've picked these up so far pretty happy. All right. Any questions for Nate? I guess not. Nate, thank you. No fire
chief tonight. No pool director. I imagine they're busy down there at the pool tonight tomorrow and the rest of the days, but take us into our committee commission and board reports chamber of commerce. Nothing in our pack tonight. EDH. There'll be more minutes coming, but we had a big meeting last time. We handed
out uh We're doing 10 more. Yeah. 10 houses for the program. The the improvement program for the housing in St. went over very big this year. I can't remember she's supposed to get the total for
what money we handed out. What were we at 50 grand? Probably about that. They came back. We did about 150,000 worth of improvements. It's about three or four to one. Yep. So, it's it's going to work out real good for everybody. So, uh, finance,

50 people or more that people were. Yeah. Just here in town. Well, most of them were from down here. I was up in Hastings on Sunday and they had some pickupole deal going on. There must have been 5,000 people there parked everywhere. I couldn't believe it.
