subject city engineering review letter and mid comments. You got it all here in front of you. Greg, what do you got? Anything to add? No, I think it looks good. It's uh if you can get get rolling on that.
I think they're I can't remember what he said. Start this fall or something, right? Or late summer. I think they can fill 75% of them. he wants to complete the the rest. So much needed. Um
it's not a public hearing tonight, but what I will say is we have one neighbor with a concern about support agenda. Yep, that's taken care of. Will be taken care of for final. Perfect. Perfect. I'll be taking care of and proud to
any other questions or discussion. So you're looking for a motion for the approval of the revised GDP preliminary plan for Peterson 9 subdivision. I'll make a motion to approve. Do we have a second? I'll second. Any other questions or discussion?
Hearing none. All in favor say I. I. opposed. That's carried. That'll take on to library expansion project approval. We're looking at uh library expansion construction manager. After receiving proposals from six
construction fir management firms, two of them, Reliable and Beni were selected for inperson interviews. Thank you. um with their experience with projects like Chadfield Public Library, Chapfield Center for the Arts, St. Charles EMS
building department renovation, the committee of council person Jeremiah Oen, administrator Joe Shiml, library board member Paul Thomas came to the consensus of recommending the library expansion project and banking construction. After the
interviews, references were conducted by our city staff to the St. Charles and Chadfield city officials regarding their Bicki managed projects. They came back with glowing very positive reviews. We certainly consider hiring again.
Overall contract bid estimates. What's going on here? No, it's just maybe it's just me. Overall construction bid estimates for construction management services Bencki 229,000 reliable 245,1125.
At this time staff would recommend an initial pre-construction contract and the amount not to exceed for the establishment of the final project concept plan in coordination with the architectural plan not to exceed 5,000 to exceed 5,000. And
if and when final plans approved by library board, city council, the city will commence with the remainder of the construction management work by Beni under a separate contract. Um questions, discussions
Jeremiah, you got anything to add to this? Um yeah, I will just say that when we met with with both uh of the companies, it we just we came out of it with a really good good feeling about Ben. Um
and so just based on um you know the being that the and you know Bill you can help me out here the the um estimates here were based on
assumptions uh off of what we sent them and then um this will give us or give Bencki the opportunity to actually work with our architect and do get some final um finetuning on that on that number.
So, do they work out percentage? Um they're going to switch over once we get no lumpsum. They're going to convert it to a lump sum. But we got to finish this phase first. Then when that final plan
is presented, because right now we're down to two plans. Once that comes back to you all and the library board for final approval, then they'll know how to put the lump sum fee for those management services for the
remainder of the company. Any possibility to be lower? Uh potentially. One of the questions that the committee had is since you're a construction outfit, could there be potential inind help that you all can do to save us? They also started telling us about some
of the city in kind things we can do to save a few of the costs here and there. No, but I'm talking about is that are we on the same page? Potential that their estimate could become lower. Yeah. Yeah. Does 5,000 come off that
estimate? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So, let's just say the fee that you see there was stayed in place. Yeah. The 5,000 is a part of that. So, I mean, if we can figure out other ways for this project to work differently, does this estimate
drop potentially or is it not to exceed or is it going to go up? If it if the project goes down, the hopeful and I just can't recommend um should go down too. But
yeah, if they can like like if they could say after after they look at it, oh, we can get this done in six months instead of seven, right? I understand the project could be lower. I'm asking about their their estimate because it's just an estimate. Yep.
Go ahead. Yeah. So like that baked into that is how much time they're spending working on the project. So if so if that's lower, if it takes if it goes faster, then then yes, their fee goes down.
Okay. So they're working hourly or percentage wise? Hour basically hourly. So they are not they they are not motivated to make the project more expensive. They are they are motivated to deliver a great project for us.
Any other questions discussion talking about a big deal? It's a preliminary contract, right? So, is this is just to make sure everything lines up with what we want before we commit to the whole deal. That's kind of what
right the way I'm hearing it. Yeah. You would still have the ability to NYX the whole thing or postpone it, but it's to get us to that stage so we have some finally to present to the public. So, when you get down through pre-construction, you choose which plan
you're going to do in all this. We will get a hard number from Medicaid or we're still going off estimates. You'll get a hard number. The hardest number they can come up to what we got finalized on. So
I'm talking about their fee. Yeah, their fee should be see any difference there. Any other discussion or questions? Anybody want to make a motion? I'll make a motion to approve.
Second. Second. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. All right. That carries. Branch request. variance at 1176th Street Northeast.
Soranos are requesting a 15 foot 4 154 variance for the required front yard 25 ft setback as per section 1330.05 development requirements. They were proposing to replace their
current 10 by 18 porch which is in disrepair with a 7x 26 porch. The planning commission held a public hearing and are recommending approval of the burns. See the minutes. So, it's weird that it makes it sound like they're coming out even closer to
the road than their current porch, but when you drive by there, they have a ramp out in front of their porch. So, that ramp actually brings it closer to the curb than what the new porch will. But when you look at the house, it uh even one of the neighbors wrote in
favor of it saying that'll be a good improvement. It's pretty old house and it look good. So they're replacing the ramp too or just So they're not going to have a ramp there anymore. I think that was probably owners and that question.
All right. Approved of it. No back feed. Nothing negative. No. No. And he's uh he's itching to get going on it. If we can. We need a motion. Then I'll make a motion to approve. I'll second. We have a motion and a second to approve
the variance. All in favor say I. I. Opposed carried. Summerfest 2025. Approval of temporary liquor license. Well, Summerfest is right around the
corner. Again, approval is needed for two items. The temporary liquor license for the Chamber of Commerce to sell beer on July 3rd during a dance at Barricade Park. And number two, to close down the streets along the prey route, which is shown same
as normal. Yep. No big deal. Last year, not this year. No. Two motion. Chair one. Who would like to make the motion to approve the temporary liquor license and street closies for the parade for
Summerfest 2025? I'll make that motion. Motion. We have a second. Second. Going to throw rides home in there, too. Good boy. I think that's really free rides in coffee. I can walk motion in a second. Any other
questions or discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say I. I opposed. I also carry and take us out. Motion is general business. Going to take us into mayor staff and consultant reports. Mayor report tonight.

37 years of service with our volunteer fire department, Mark's finally going to call quits. It's been a long He's been a long time. I mean, he's made a lot of runs. I hate
to guess how many runs him and his brother made over the 37 years. And now their boys are doing the same thing for us. I mean, it's what a bunch of guys. But Mark's going to retire. They're having a party for him June 11th, 5:30 to 8:30 at Adam's Tavern on the Greens.

tonight. Uh, city administrator's report. Yep. Uh, just brief reporting packet. Obviously highlighting the media attention we've been getting. Mayor and I between the newspaper and um our other newspaper here in town and um then the
TV stations. Um obviously that business commercial growth is um is getting some great attention. So, we'll try to keep that going. And then, uh, the grant announcement, it's more of a U of M
grant, but us and Byron and Lewon are recipients of part of the grant dollars. And what it's going to do is they're going to research what kind of water capacity volumes um electrical as the
two main ones that data centers would need or would generate to see if cities like ours if that's even worth it to take on or the capacities they'd fill would overwhelm us. And so it'll be a study that'll be available for all the
cities down in our neck of the woods here. But we got picked to try to participate with some supplemental help. So, um overall grant's like a $200,000 grant. Um and then each city will get a portion of that.
Good to know. Any questions for the administrator? Okay. Thank you, Bill. Finance officer Kelly, you got any report? Um I'm working on a meter water replacement project with staff. At this point, we're still just continuing to gather

late July, early July again. I just know July. So, just want to keep you in the loop of that timing and everything. We are usually done with that final lift by this time. So, um that will be a bit of
a delay. Is that just because they're they've already got other obligations or is it something to do with I I did see that the plants are running on the I90 mix and uh they're also with the
past rain that we've gotten during the week that's put them behind on that contract. So it just everything falls in behind. All right. No other problems or nothing going on. All right. Any questions for
