States of America the for it stands Nation indivisible withy andice that where s he's not here I see that so is there any corrections to the agenda yes there is Mayor I'm going to
add uh three things a couple of them pretty quick um but there's three things we are going to add an 8A conflict of interest for uh small cities development um program um It's s small City development program
that's all right sorry program um we have a um our new employee actually is had a for that for one of the commercials commercial projects so we have to add his conflict of interest form on there there's no vote there's no
nothing else it's just that we have to um acknowledge that he is an employee and that he applied for one of the uh and we'll do that at 8A that he applied for one of those grants so I'll talk about that a little bit um and then also under uh 10 new bu or new business yeah
City administrator there's a couple of resolutions that we will be putting in there um one of them is uh the approval of the Tracy Box Car day City licenses and street closures and then also a uh um just a little bit of a plan that I
plan on going over with you and and we need a resolution for and a vote for the arpa monies that need to be used up by the end of this year okay to approve is amended all those in favor I oppos motion carries
at this time we would like to open up the public hearing for the second reading of the ordinance 389 the reduction of the clear water in the sanitary sewer system um you've opened that up I'd like
to talk about it a little bit mayor the uh there's some more new things that are coming as we go along like I said before there's a lot of cities that are going with this uh this type of ordinance with their uh sewer systems with the the the
the shape that the um um the shells that are going from the street up to the houses are not in very good shape in a lot of areas so we we filmed a lot of them here in in Tracy but one of the things that this is this
ordinance is about is when you sell your house you have to have make sure that it is filmed the uh the sewage line from the house to the street and to see what kind of shape it is in to make sure that it's PVC pipe if it is in tough shape you have to replace it before you can
sell sell the house so that is what the ordinance is is uh basically saying um there are new things one of the the items that I think it was Jan that brought it up two weeks ago and asked if I would look into the possibility of of
uh if you could put that onto your your taxes over a 10e span um that makes sense they are going to be doing a little bit of that in uh in a couple other towns are talking to their prospective counties the a little bit of the issue with that though is if you've
sold the house already so depends on what the purchase agreement says on who's paying for that new sewer line that's going to go from the house to the to the street itself so it makes sense to a certain extent but in my experience
with it it is the person who's selling the houses responsibility that it gets done but then if it doesn't get paid for or if it doesn't get done that's that's that's another issue that we have to address and that we're going to have we wouldn't have collateral anymore well there's there's no re no reasoning you
know why would I stick around and pay taxes on something that I don't owe anymore plus I've already got my money for it so it's something that there might be an amendment by the end of the year but Amendment uh my recommendation would be still to go through with the the new ordinance is we have to do
something because I did see one of those films just a little while ago and uh it's it's not a not a Prett sight anyway for the fact that what you're filming but the but it's but it's they're horrible I mean every 6ft piece of every
little uh um you know where it's supposed to have a nice little ring around it where it's supposed to be holding it together it's there's there's weeds growing in there's tree roots growing in it's it's necessary so the homeowner that's selling the home
they got to go all the way into the street to make that repair the street or the boulevard depending on it's uh depending on how far the the it's where the uh PVC pipe especially with new construction or the new you know in the new streets that we put in depending on
how far they went in those would be okay but I'm looking at older properties y so then we're going to have our streets all caught up and tore up right well there is a little bit of an issue with that too yes well the CL off recorded if
it's not signed off that it's been in well it's it's that's that's where it if it's in the if it's put into the purchase agreement correctly um it it is enforceable but who's enforcing it then would this lining like we had done
would that work Shane is actually going to be looking into that but when we did a little bit of that lining before we did it at the swimming pool it was very expensive so whether we could bring somebody in that would do 20 houses at a time or something like that I I don't know there's
also there's some houses that you're people are just not going to want to replace it before they do actually sell their house too and we can't in this ordinance we can't make them do that well we can't hard make an ordinance to make them anyway can well
when you we can we can put it out there where before they can sell the house yes so this is just a start as what it is is there an age of the house um on another uh in another ordinance that I seen in another town it was uh you had to film
it no matter what but it uh does 1989 does that sound correct Shane where anything before that or anything after that would have been PVC there's something in the 80 early 80s that's PVC even in the late 7s I
think it was first introduced like in the late 60s but you don't see much of it till late so it's something we'll have to follow up on and and this is the uh this is the first step so we have the uh public hearing open so you can ask if
there's anybody that wants to well is there anybody in audence that would like to talk about something that is about this Pro this little ordinance gosh I don't see any I have a question what you were looking at was that my sewer line no oh
cuz you were going to get that ready okay it was not uh oh I was just curious is there anything in it like if um if a person's had work done in the past and they can like go to their plumber and have record
of this being done is there something about that where then they wouldn't have to scope it out you're going to want to keep that as as being a homeowner that had that done yes you're going to want to keep proof of of that that that job was done and then you wouldn't have to do the camera exactly as long as you
have it available yep okay my house was moved in in 2016 so I know it's PVC but I go to the pro plumber and say prove it just prove it and that would be a written statement that type
of thing yeah we're not looking at costing anybody any more money than they have to but we know what the problem that we have with our with our system so and we can't overflow it or work make it work any harder than it already is so this is just a first
step and and like we had talked about in previous meetings this isn't just a city ordinance there is uh there are things out there from from the state now too that are that are that are coming into existence here so when you said that it doesn't
like make our system work any harder than it does how does some of these Pipes make it work harder because the water is any kind of runoff or from some pumps are running into the cracks of our the sewer system system which puts it there as opposed to where it's supposed
to go un like if you have a clay pipe that's got a crack in it when it rains the rain water seeps in through that and just adds seeps into the ground though doesn't it San Su system it's but it's seeping into the pipes eventually too
and thenes keeps running okay you got that mayor yeah you would think that some of the pipes would be are some of them collapsed and stuff like that that you
see in those um Shane can answer that a little bit more I think there's uh there's probably a couple of them that are collapsed the ones that we were looking at a little bit earlier how old do you suppose that clay pipe was um early 19 probably 1920s so 100 years
old and remarkably in great shape for 100 years old W but it's still you can tell where they put the pipe together cuz it wasn't one large but well it could have been the cracks too you know were the 6ot pieces that got put together that age some of the newer stuff 6ot but most of that older stuff
was six or just twoot section twoot section so every section when the camera went through you could see where the tree roots are growing into it and those are just buted together and usually just mortared on the joints where the newer clay pipe you know from this 50s and 60s
a lot of that not all of it a lot of it had uh rubber gas baskets in between the joints it was a little bit better but but yeah it's it's good good pipe if you keep the trees out of it but keep trees out as long as it was installed correctly but a lot of it's failing now
so okay well we can close the public hearing can we unless anybody else wants to say anything about it no well then we'll close the public hearing open back up our regular meeting okay and we will move on so we need to vote
on that we referring it back to the council in case they have any questions want to make a motion does anybody else have any questions on that no clear's mud
okay you're so funny it was ordinance 389 so make a motion to approve ordinance 389 the reduction of clear water in the sanitary sanitary sewer system second first and second um FAL
call please yes uh henr yes land hi Ste hi shones hi mayor I okay is there anybody else on there
would like to talk about something that is not on the agenda oh okay we'll move on to consent calendar make a motion to approve the July 7th Council minutes approve Municipal accounts payable and pay roll without breakthrough beverage approve

RV yes shones hi HRI hi mayor Corman hi do you want to talk about Lonnie's thing here yeah I'll move on to 8 a conflict of interest uh it would be again the same thing that we've talked about a four times I apologize that it's
come up this much but this is a new employee that has applied for a commercial grant for a business that he owns here in town and that uh that we just had to have him fill out the conflict of interest form just like we had everyone else fill out um and then
we have to send in that uh um to the ukap that we had actually talked about it at a meeting with the assigned minutes so this would be Lonnie Cochran is the new employee and so we had him fill out the conflict interest form so
that's all done already and and we will we will send that in so that's all we need there no vote no nothing on that we will move on to department heads Tamara do you want to go
favor I don't want to say that we had an exciting month in soon the best month that we've ever had in the history of the liquor store I'm sure but next month we'll probably have one of the worst I'll optimistic I know right well
so sales are about 90 almost 92,000 um which was great um our inventory expenses though said they were only 18,000 which is unrealistic it happened to be evidently how they paid the bills kind of a thing
so our um our net cash flow is 60,000 this month so next month though it's not going to look so pretty going to come back to go with the rest of them anyways um want to tell we had a loha night um
probably 40 45 people I'm thinking you think about that close to that so I want to thank everybody who came out and joined us for that and again definitely thank all of our sponsors um we were a little disappointed that we were hoping there
would have been more people there to help support us and to support the organization that we were supporting but again want to thank the people in the sponsors again for doing that um let's see what else is up Thursday I get the privilege to go
speak to Kanas about the liquor store operation so have to write up a little report for that one and I don't know if there's really that much else going on this month anybody have any other [Music]
questions we good no nice job thank [Music] you Val do you want to go oh I what oh you didn't bring it oh I'll wait till you done bringing that up
perfect perfect oh you just were going to say something about okay we finally came down yeah yeah that's the exciting part so I don't have a whole lot or I don't really have anything to add to my regular report if you have any questions feel free to ask um what I do want to talk about is is um the console
communication and the um project proposal that I left for you about the liquor store mural um Sammy Joe Miller who we've been working with has she's worked really hard I just want to say that she has done a lot of
groundw to get this um done worked with the public worked with us um and we came up with a design that um I sent it to Tam and send it to Jeff and um this was the one that we all liked the best so
we're bringing this to you tonight um technically you don't need to I don't believe make a motion or anything because you've already done a resolution approving it but I just wanted to get either the thumbs up or thumbs down to
go for it and uh we'll get it done in August if that's good with all of you not not just because we need to move along fast but it with it because we got to get it going but the fact is is you know we want yeah you know everybody's opinion of it but we are going with this
so and it'll fit like right between those two windows almost perfectly won't it yeah I'm not sure what you know she'll have to measure and you know the width may be adjusted based on you know the space once you know like at the library we we found out that the windows
are not um equally spaced and so you know you have to make some adjustments when you do things once once you're up on the building but you know she's a pro she'll she'll roll with it and so do you guys like that one yep I do like it is
it going to be like this or is it going to be like this we don't know yeah that's one thing I asked if we could widen it yeah I mentioned that to her also I think it'll just depend on where it fits where it fits yeah just depend on the space whether it um goes between
the windows or on the side um of either one of you know of that either way but I do would like to see a little wider is it the yeah other it's a little to narrow yeah yep it'll be on the East wall
perfect so yeah um any other questions for me no okay thank you thank you great job and thank you for doing all the work I I told you the other day for doing the the grants and everything oh thank
you Chief you want to go ho moly I thought I had to pick what's that you're taken to a long day did you get bribe money I know is there I don't have anything other than what's in my report just to mention that
National Night Out is coming up August 6th and we hope to see everybody else Central Park for National n so should be a good event again hopefully the weather holds okay anybody got any questions thanks for contacting Adam to get those things up must come up here when I was
in our webinars this afternoon so thank you when the DAT August 6 August 6 y that a week two weeks from tomorrow night right yes first Tuesday in August
oh looks good thank you thanks thanks Jason thank you Tyler Tyler please do all right I don't really have a whole lot to say um I guess one thing you might have noticed that the income from utilities was
pretty low and I was looking back at history and it just seems like once or twice a year there's just an oddly low month and I kind of chocked it up to possibly all the rain that we've gotten people just using less or maybe they were traveling more on the weekends I I
don't know but I thought it kind of odd and ton of income from camping liquor store did great and Licensing we've been having a good year any any questions keep it that way
yeah I think while while we have Tyler up there I'd like to talk a little bit about the uh the budget schedule um we worked on it some today we will work on it more this week you will have that um by the 5th which would
be a week before for sure that we have the the budget meeting possibly even the 2nd um which be that Friday so you'd have it over the weekend uh we're looking at the the 12th of which is is the first council meeting in August um
what we had planned on is having the budget part of the meeting at 5:00 and I think we'd all agreed to that correct 5:00 y 5:00 on on the 12 yes and we'll just have it all right here but it won't be it won't be televised the budget part
well it it really it can be a part of the meeting it really doesn't have to be though so no it doesn't should it so we'll go from 5 to 6:30 and then start the regular meeting at 6:30 then um I did hear from well that's that's something else anything
you want to add with the the budget part of it no we've got pretty much all the numbers in um I mean you you'll find out more in our presentation in August but I guess the gist of it is a lot needs to get done in the city and right now we're
budgeting a a slight deficit but we had a good year last year where we made two made $200,000 our net position went up 200,000 and so our thought is that we could use some of that for the all these
projects coming down the pipe but you guys will get a better idea of that once you get the budget in your hands and then we can talk about it in mid August it's always a hope but we're hoping that the net position from 22 to 23 matches itself from 23 to 24 which would be
nice so that's what we're hoping for cuz we could definitely use the money that's why you're going to see not really a shell game but just moving things around and you're going to hear a little bit about more about that from me uh a little bit later too but we are working on it to get all the numbers in trying to figure out whether I've forgotten to
tell him something or he's forgotten to put something in that's what we're we're working on we got through the revenues today and we'll start working on some other things the CIP and and other things then but we'll we'll discuss a lot on at from 5:00 to 6:30 but I
thought if we had a meeting at 5:00 and went to 6:30 then we've got a that's what we have we have an hour and a half also wanted to mention um Christa Bandon VC my employee got employee of the year not all of you were at the employee
picnic so that was exciting she she had to take her son to baseball practice and then everyone kind of wandered off while she was gone and and then she got back and I was like hey you missed it you got employee of the year she's like oh yeah
right and like no really you did she really we're just glad she came back so she was she was glad she was happy but thank you good thanks thanks thank you all right Shane I'm in see you B see
you see you I don't have a lot to add to my report um I am working on I think I just about got the seal coating crack sealing project for this year nailed down um sounds like we might
be the week the Monday Tuesday of Labor Day week which was a little too close to Labor Day for me but that's the only time they get it done we'll we'll make it work so um it's not a big project basically phase one um we're going to
put another code on Greenwood Avenue thought about Front Street but with the construction going on there I'm just going to wait till next year's seal quoting for that we can go over the patches and stuff for the sewer and water that they'll have to do there um and then uh I think North Street and
sunrise that were overlaid in the last couple years are on that list too so Orchard Lanes too an Orchard Lane yep in less than what it was like 14400 bucks for that based on some of the current costs we have so how many blacks are you
planning it's about 28 28 so it's a good size project what we could do with 70,000 anyway so any questions fols going new meter reader
that was broke we got that back um we got five of the um property maintenance code complied with of the 54 we sent out so
it's uh better than past years for that so hopefully we keep seeing progress on that there's a few that are still working on them but just not quite done yet so um say it's a little more progress than we've had seen so
um other than that we just been Mowing and Mowing and Mowing and mowing we're still not caught up but um now with the rain has let off a little bit it's I'd say by the end of the week we'll be looking all right so we're got
a water main to work on in Greenwood Avenue next next week hopefully if the weather cooperates we've got a valve that's leaking there so um there's a few other things some curb stops to put in and a few other things we' like to take care of before winter but 'll see see
how things go but fixed the catch Basin last week over on Rolland the 9th it's been getting larger a hole in the road kept getting larger here over the summer so that's wrapped up hoping to see some
pothole repairs today but they never made her to town today so hopefully this week we see patching down there so if you get the water issues solved from the mobile home park uh it's still
leaking Health and Human Services is is uh heading up that right now okay yeah so they are on it and they they've given us a report uh wasn't last week the week before that they gave us a report on what going to happen out there with a with a couple things but the water one
of the the water was a part of the issue yeah there's five or five or six leaks out there not gushers but they're wet spots so when does the airport hangers start the new one we're hoping to see
approval in the next couple weeks from the feds um the state Grant is up coming in the agenda tonight but uh the feds and that's going to have to be something that the feds are going to want to see before they do their approval is see
that the state Grant and everything's there for that before they give the final any dirt moved I would hope so I hope to see the slab done and hopefully the building up before winter but it just depends on how long things take and
when the approval occurs so will there be any extra excavation you think leftovers dirt there isn't a lot of excavation to be done um but there could be it's pretty low ground already yeah
I'll just have you stay up there when I talk about mine a little bit just one of the things that I want to bring up and you've got it in front of you also all of you um where I was talking about the uh not a shell game but just moving things around according to the budget this year um we uh we did a report
on on the swimming pool so the uh you got it right in front of you and one of the things that I want you to take a look at is the fifth one down I believe it is um Utility Services last year we were adding cold water basically to the pool all the time so the utility
services were you know we spent that 20 all of 25,000 and then operating supplies I don't know how many any more operating supplies that we're going to need out there uh should be the last load chemicals are main L to come out of there last load will be this week wiip
poies possibly save a couple thousand with operating supplies a few thousand with repair and maintenance supplies um utility service we're hoping for 4 or 5,000 so this will be the time that you know we had a we had more
things that were needed to be fixed out there along with the two slides that we're doing and we're not doing the steps and everything to going up to it so we've got that money that is isn't going to be spent this year so we're looking at uh taking that into
consideration with this and then going going ahead and getting the two um the two what's the snake I'll call it snake that that are now alls we're doing is putting epoxy and everything else trying to shore the things up so they don't
sink so and those are those are popular items so we're trying to get a few of the things done out there that we're going to have to do and we would have to do in 25 regardless we might be able to do them in 24 just with a a little bit of a budget amendment so just a few of those things I don't I don't think I'll
bring those to you I just wanted to show you this this report here you'll also get a report probably by the first part of October at the end of September and it'll show you I I think it'll really show how well we did at the uh you know controlling expenses out there and it
wasn't anything that we did ourselves it was the fact that we weren't losing 100,000 gallons of water a day and having to heat that water and having to chemical that water and everything else so um any any questions on that before we uh before we move
on are the slides done this Paul yep that's uh that's already contracts all signed Council approved that I think a meeting or two ago um they're planning to come late August early September so was it 73 out of uh we had planed for
106,000 mhm 73,000 so we'll have 20 33,000 sitting there too so just getting a couple things taken care of before we get into you know 25 is a pretty tough year you'll you'll see that here when we
go through the budget in a couple weeks okay um yeah you might as well just stay there Shane cuz that that first one I'm going to have you be a part of it anyway um just uh with the budgeting process you know we kind of already went over it but that's if that's acceptable to
everybody we'll have that go out in your agenda and your packets for that that Monday the 12th just to be here at 5:00 so we can get it going and we'll well it'll be a hard copy handout plus it'll be on the the TV something that but you'll have ahead you'll have it all ahead of
time and there's going to be some changes that are going to go along with that too but we'll be able to put the uh we're not ready for the initial one but at least you'll be able to see it to give us a little bit of direction you're going to have some things that you're going to be able to see look at and say
this is how we want it done okay um let's move on to uh mayor if we could to uh new business City administrator resolution 20247 authorization to execute Minnesota
Department of Transportation Grant agreement for airport improvements excluding land acquisition this would be the state grant that we applied for before we can go to the Federal grant right this would be the state and the local part of it is right here so we got
to get uh okay for this resolution just to to move on and get this sent into Gloria I think is her name Yep this is one of five pieces of the grant for the The Hanger project it's
overwhelming I'm thankful that I've got Shane to at least ground me on it cuz I get something in the on by email and I'm reading it I'm going okay I don't understand it and then that's when I've got uh that's where Angel has been a big help with that Chris has been a big help with that if not I bring it over to
Shane and cuz then some random architect or a random engineer will send me a a note saying Jeff we got to do this right away I'm going so it's on the spreadsheet it's on the yeah yeah the spreadsheet
column yeah so um so if we could get that taken care of I'll make a motion to approve resolution 2024-the to execute the Minnesota Department of Transportation Grant
agreement for the airport improve excluding land acquisition second does anybody have any other questions about that all right roll call please land hi shon
hi Henri HIV yes TS I mayor cor I all right number two there uh resolution 202 2471 approval of Tracy Box Car day City licenses and street
closures um so this is I don't know if it's a couple weeks early on this but we were already adding a couple things so we can get her that done right away too I'll make a motion to approve resolution 20247 roll call

it right now but if you remember it was $20,000 we had put aside for the water to the museum that's $330,000 for the income survey that we're getting taken care of so we can apply for the uh infrastructure Grant for 2025 right away
which would be $600,000 in infrastructure which we would use for roads and and water sewer whatever whatever kind of infrastructure we can use and uh then we also had the $6,000 that we're using for the Front Street
Minnesota Energy putting um fuel lines out to that the uh to the end of the street out there where those new houses are going to be going so all of that comes out to pretty close to that $200,000 so I have to have uh not tomorrow but two weeks from tomorrow I have to have
the list of uh everything that we're going to be using that money and and and we'll be putting a presentation on to the county with what we're going to be using that money I did finally last Friday got it approved through the county um for the uh for
every one of the the the uh units that we're going to be using it on or each one of the projects so the county approved it with two of the city or the County Commissioners plus the um city or the County Administrator but now we have to take it to the full County board but
it's just a formality that if that's what we want to use it for that's what we use it for we just got to get it we got to get it gone and we need the machine the machine that uh Shane is going to be replacing out there um we bonded for that current machine that
we're using right now in 1977 so we're getting a tractor back hole what does it all have Shane if if I'm reading this right it's a tractor back on like and the Machine you're getting
rid of is the old TX loader y so you're not getting rid of getting a big getting rid of a big loader for a small loader Yeah so basically we use it to load salt which is a little big to load salt so we would use it for that um now that the
other loader is out with the blower we used to have two loaders the tri always ran the blower and then the other pay loader was available to do loading trucks or whatever well we had to go to a bigger loader to handle the blower and then we ran into an issue with bucket sizes
being too wide for loading the salt truck you know so we used the t a little smaller bucket um or the tractor but if you use the blower on the tractor then you don't have to bucket on that either so you got to be a convenient it's more convenient to load with a smaller
machine um and that would be available for that and then pushing the snow field up when the loader out loading trucks you don't to make room there and then we'd use it for general purpose uh whether it be for curb stops or sewer repair water main repair or it's a
little bigger to be able to handle that stuff too so it's kind of a multi-purpose machine turning something in that just sits for probably 11 months out of the year is what T's doing now is something we can use year round
so and and you you think it's good money spent to buy a new one for this well if you've looked at the price they used there ain't a lot difference in there and then you worry about how they're used um a lot of them you hit 2,000
hours the pins are all have to be redone and you're still still looking at $90,000 for a used machine so so it's kind of one of those what what end you want to pay it on the repairs under the the initial purchase
so did you get quotes from n Play Sal besides just John Deere so John Deere uh RDO um it's through the state bid process so I mean nice part about John Deere is you can get parts at CNB locally instead of
running to Market whether it be cat or case or anything like that but um you know if that's something this Council wants to do we we can um we just have to hire service to come in from another town to work on
them so you said this was a part of our plan for 20 25 the CIP plan for 20125 so that will free up I believe was 140,000 is what we put into it for then so then
you'll see on the 12th well before that when we get the information to you what we uh are our suggestion not what we use that money for for 2025 this was not the money though that we were going to use for the SK system
no it is not good question very good question no that money there remember well you might not remember but we had that 400,000 that we had to use we weren't given any kind of date on when we were supposed to use it it with we just kept getting pressure on it so what we did is we went ahead and paid back a
couple of our our loans or not our our payments for USDA and then also we're paying the August uh um interest payment on there which came out to right around that right around that $400,000 so it kind of evened itself out so basically
paid ourselves off so we can keep the money and then we can take our time to figure out what we want to do with that money so that money is still still sitting there sitting over here for the skat actually sitting there in uh the 3M is that what it's
called yeah I think it is yeah 3 a.m. through the uh League of Minnesota City through the state so yep so yes that is there so we're still waiting for that remind me again what is the hold up with this whole SK thing well we needed
to be able to pay for the whole thing and she was going to be able to talk to a lot better I from what I understand of it it's it's it's we want to replace the whole thing all at once as opposed to piece by piece cuz right now we're peac mealing it together so nobody wants to take any responsibility for their peace
it's because of them and and who's to blame for something not working but what do we have to have besides the 400,000 to be we've been waiting for we've been waiting for Bali to come back to see if there's any more money that they can find for us cuz remember
they're doing theirs I can bring that up along with it um looks like Thursday the 29th is the when they like to come and do their full report to you I know it's Thursday Box Car a but it would be we could we could figure that out
I'll send out a a survey to see when we want to do that but they would have it done by that week their whole presentation but we've been waiting for them to see can they find some kind of infrastructure grant that we might help out with that a little bit cuz right now it's our
$400,000 so if they we're hoping they can find a little bit more money for us someplace the intent was with with aada being for a funding agency es skada that it's super small project and a lot of them won't look at it because it's super
small but if you tie it into you know whether it be a water tower rehab or a street project where you already have funds from different agencies involved then it's easier just to add this to it um and they kind of realize that you
know things are failing that I was going to say how long can we I don't know I'm running into a fight with well 7 right now we had to replace the meter well it's trying to tie new technology into Old technology it still can be done but
I'm on on phone with the the fieldtech for the meter company and they're blaming the SK the current scada that was put in 15 years ago retrofitted 15 years ago and you know he's blaming on well the meter's not putting out the
right signal now I've been I've spent probably seven or eight hours on the phone with two different field Texs that's so I was just wondering how long can we as a city right put this off I understand why we are trying to put it
off to get some financing from somewhere else versus using our own money but there comes a point where they're the days are getting numbered right now well if their report is going to be ready by the 29th do they not have all of the
information already they have they're pretty close to that information he couldn't give me the exact date but he knew by that Thursday that they would be done I just talked to him today yeah and what they're looking at doing and what and what Shane and I have talked about is is we have that $400,000
sitting there so if we all of a sudden have an $800,000 project and can lump it into one and we can get the other 400,000 and use it ours as a match you know we're not we're we're kind of doubling down on the money that we have instead of just throwing that money towards one
project and us paying for it let's see what we can get done with that money as a possible match too yeah and is this something that's dependent on the weather when it can be done like if we don't do it here
before winter then all not necessarily in fact well the only thing that would be a little difficult is getting the antennas on the water tower which I've been up there in the winter time it's not awful but you don't want to be up there if you don't have to be no but that's something you know where they can
start building the system cuz I'd imagine you're at least 3 to four months out just building the system cuz they'll build most of the cabinet off site they'll bring it in and then start tying all the wires to wherever they go together
um so that part there they'd actually prefer cuz the they'd have to shut the water plant down for probably at least 24 hours there's going to be a period in there where they're not going to want the high demand so winter time's better people aren't watering they're not you know
doing all that stuff so there's a benefit for winter time there but just anything that's exterior is not going to be much fun but we'll get through it I mean we've had to work on it in the winter before it's just
basically in tennis so it's not not huge equipment by any means we're hoping all that'll come together over the next month and a half but kind of want to get back to get back on track with the resolution I don't think we ever got an
approval for the resolution did we no no so any questions on the arpa money I mean got to get it taken care of we got to get it out of their hands they've agreed initially to that they said it's just a formality um I'll put together something and I'll bring it to them in 2
weeks from tomorrow and and then we all we got to do is hand in our bills to them so which we have this one here already um fact whenever you're ready to go pick that up I think you're fine I I understand where we need to get this
money used but buying a brand new backo I don't know that I think that's the best use of our money but I don't know what else to use it on cuz we just went out and bought a really good Backle for 50,000 and that leaves a fair amount of money
extra that we could have for ourselves because I don't believe it's going to run every day depend on and then I question whether a rubber tile Backle is going to work very good for digging up whatever it is you want to dig up because you need the full swing of a mini excavator
so would makees sense to buy a used back and a mini excavator so we could do both the problem is to do what we're doing in the depth we need at least a 50 or 60 series excavator the mini doesn't for a little sewer we can't even get through
tree roads half the time with it well so then you're looking at okay we're not going to track this thing around town okay now we're going to buy a trailer a truck and all that to move it around they come on rubber tracks yeah but it takes they go about 2 mes an hour you're going to spend someone's half a day to
get across toon if it's depending where it's at so you know you look at it that way and then it's its only use is to dig a hole in the ground you know I'm not arguing that I'm just saying let's do both get a used back ho that you're only
going to use part-time which would do a fine job and then get an excavator so you would have that part-time and I think they travel a little faster I've been in them but you know I guess I
say I drove one I was going to drive it to Greenwood from Dale shop and I ended up getting a trailer at his storage unit and driving it the rest of the way cuz I couldn't take it anymore so that was a 10-minute drive from this building to that's for a mini but you know the bigger ones might move faster but you
know it's just you know they're handy ones to get them to where they need to be but it's definitely not something I want to track around town and Pavements hard on them too but depending on the season but you know I'm I'm open to suggestions something if you want me to look into it I can do that too so see
the resolution just doesn't really doesn't have to exactly cover the the street machine it's whatever we need for the street machine it's using the money more on that I wanted to put in front of you I guess I don't really care to bring this up like it is I wish we could have
had a chance to have a conversation about it ahead of time but here for discussion so so this resolution is just to the funds it's not like he doesn't couldn't check into something we have City Road machine is what I put on there but uh
but then will it come back to the council cuz we're more or less saying spend it on the on that yeah or we could table we could table number three too for for two
weeks well I don't want to jeopardize the money you're not going to jeopardize the money it's we have until I just don't want to wait until October in November and then we're scrambling yeah I want to get it get it taken care of and it's something that we know we
need is that something you can U well if you want to look at use then you know as long as we have a excavator we could rent in town we could do a used rubber tire and that'll get most of our stuff done for the little stuff we could rent
one but and then you know do we want to look at maybe replacing the 76 Dodge or or something else oh there now you're but right now I can't even get a vehicle ordered through National Auto Fleet group because everything's on back order
yet they haven't for 3 years we haven't been able to buy anything off our um say Cooperative purchasing which is where we get our you know it saves probably 10 grand on a a vehicle
so there's that problem too so as far as timing go goes I don't know how soon the money needs to be spent but it needs to be spent before for me for sure by November or we can look at you know a decent use pickup too doesn't have to be fancy you're just
looking for a work truck cuz most of our stuff is rotting out through the floorboards so well why don't we table it for two weeks and I'm just saying two weeks if you need more time than two weeks we could look at September I mean yep to
give you the opportunity to get some different pricing on be it used then if we go with used okay then is there an excavator is there a pickup you know where you can kind of our problem is
packing your problem is what space shop space so we don't like things sitting outside so I'm not say didn't get a mini excavator I just threw that out Oh I thought you were talking in Li of at first but I didn't understand what
you're I just threw that out there let's get a little more bang for a buck than a brand new tractor that's going to gets on a year yeah to have both I think one's going to be sitting for most of the year I don't really see any you know for what you can do you can
do most of our stuff with a rubber tire there's areas yeah you're right you can't get in you know and there's areas that are too deep for even a rubber tire you know that I'm calling you know Kendall or whoever yep to dig a hole and you know there's still going to
be situations like that where you know some of our stuff's 20 foot in the ground you're not going to get it with a rubber tire I understand all that stuff because I ain't questioning that but just trying to get a little more bang for our buck then have a new new $130,000 loader
sitting there for 100 hours or 50 hours a year makes it last longer but yep do they have used down here not here they're this is more of agricultural we can get parts for
construction equipment here usually have to order it but um there's service and sales I'll have to go outside of skid loaders you can get skid loaders here but outside of that um you have to go to RDO or something like that so well let's table that then check it out
we might end up at the exact same spot but y okay I will do that okay thanks you got a copy of it right yep y all right all right so that pretty much concludes our this part of our meeting we'll close this open and open
the close yeah so can we get a motion to wait ahead do you have anything for Tom since he's not here do um I'll let him bring it next uh next next yeah in in uh in two weeks okay we miss you
Tom case he's listening I'll make a motion to close the regular meeting and open the closed meeting well good to see you thanks for coming good night start stop
the recording or you want it stop don't stop it and then he'll she'll restart it and then just stop it again afterward you have anything else for me okay no um yeah what's up PD
20 oh it's Bundy I was thinking those are
