Well number five installed in starting at the end of the month of June here after windtock. It should be I think we're still on track for that, right Josh? Somewhere near that time. They might start doing some work in Weinebeck at that time. But um really this is our
our loan opportunity and it's a low interest loan through the EFA. And the um pump house is still going in the Weinebeck property. Yeah. It's not really a pump house though, right Josh? Is it just the Yeah.
So, it's just a pump. You You won't notice much of it. It'll be in right field almost of the baseball field. Okay. Y Any questions? Any other questions? Mr. Mero motion approval to adopt resolution

favor? I. Motion carries. Uh new business item B deferred loan agreement subcontract Winstead Leased Housing LLC. Okay. Hey, on this one you guys are aware of we were able to secure grant funding from the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency. And with that, it's part of it is really a deferred loan. So, as long as the um Grass Lake Apartments get built, that loan is forgiven. And in this case, what we're
doing is subcontracting that loan to Winstead Lease Housing. So, it has a most of the same parameters that we would have through the state. It's just um giving us that deferred loan subcontract to the developer or
with the developer I should say. Any questions? Entertain a motion. I'll make a motion to authorize the mayor and the city clerk treasurer to execute a subcontract between the city of Winstead and Winstead Leased Housing LLC's to
ensure the developer meets all the requirements of the program funding to the satisfaction of the city of Winstead and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency as originally stipulated in the deferred loan agreement. We have a motion. Is there a second? I'll second. All in
favor? I motion carries. Uh item C, professional services contract work order number 12, proposal for professional services, Bolton and Mink incorporated. Okay, so as you guys know,
we are we are work with Bolton and Mink at the airport here as our as our engineers and really as our advisers of um how to best manage the airport. And that's really what this is saying for our professional services contract. um
having them do some of that work specifically to the multi-bay hanger design that is uh being proposed for future use. Prior to uh I guess in the um agenda here we had the funds going
from Blue Earth Airport. All those funds are that's borrowing and it's all FFA FAA funding and we borrow from other airports and we pay them back because we get what's called entitlement funds. This is more than probably what we need to go into. But that's really what we're
using that funding for at this time. If it's kind of a use it or lose it. So, going into the next one for the multi-hangar uh design project, that's where that $113,000 um is going towards the future building
of this multi-use hanger. Again, the reason that we are looking for the multi-use hanger, we feel that there is a need for it and we will be able to hopefully create some income out at the airport with some rentals. Entertain a motion.
I'll make a motion to approve work order number 12 to the professional service contracts with Bolton and Mink Incorporated and authorize the city administrator to execute a proposal for professional services for the multibay hanger design at the Winston Municipal
Airport. Have a motion. Is there a second? Second. Any discussion? All in favor? I. Motion carries. Um item D, Winston Municipal Airport multi- bay hanger design project grant

E, Weinbeck Athletic Complex Sport Court improvements award recommendation letter. And uh yeah, I'll just turn this one over to Josh. Looks like he wants to speak from Bolton Mink, sir. All right. Thanks, Mr. Mayor, members of the
council. Uh we did go out for and solicit quotes for um the sport court improvements. Um we received one quote. We did solicit two. Uh, one one was not submitted. The quote we did submit or
receive was from Mid Minnesota Hot Mix. Um, their quote was for $104.15. Um, they're That'd be a good deal. 104,000 104,000 $15. Sorry about
that. Um, so when will the work be done? Yeah. So, they they want to get going right away. So, so that's good news. So, I think within the next two weeks, we'll see work being done out there. Um, we got to sign a contract with them if it's awarded today. Um, we'll have a quick
meeting out on site to kind of go over the project and then they can really get get going I think within like I said the next couple weeks. I guess do we know if do all the lights work on the court? Uh last we actually had a discussion about that yesterday and trying to figure out
how we would manage the lights so to speak but uh according to Chris they do work. Okay. So we will see. Um we could leave them on all the time but right now they're that on a I'm I'm looking at
different options whether or not we should have a timer on it like if somebody is playing that they can turn it on and then it they automatically turn off after that hour. Um, I don't know that we want to leave them on from, you know, dust till when
the park closes. So, we're we're investigating how to do that cuz at one time, which I'm sure you were on the board when that happened, the the lights I remember as a kid being able to turn the lights on when when we could play tennis or be out there. But, uh I think
we have it locked up now for for reasons of not good stuff happening. How's that? Now, will Mid Minnesota will they also stripe it? put the nets up and whatever else in the equipment, right? Yep. The
it'll be the general contractor and they'll do the actual paving, but then they'll hire a couple of other contractors to come and do a special surface treatment and then put the nets up and the fencing and the hoops and do all the striping. Where are they out of Andale?
So, uh, just to give you, um, somewhat or give the public somewhat of a heads up of what we're actually doing, we're looking at improving the basketball court, adding three, uh, hoops along with a modified full court on the north end of what is currently there and
extending that what's currently there, extending out 15 ft or so, and then, uh, having two full-size pickleball courts on the south end. It'll be nice. Yes, it should be a nice improvement there. Anything
else? Entertain a uh motion. I'll make a motion to award a contract to Mid Minnesota Hotmix in the amount of $14,015 to supply labor and materials necessary to construct sport court improvements at the Weinbeck Athletic
Complex in the city of Winston. Have a motion. Is there a second? I'll second. Go ahead. Any additional discussion? All in favor? I I. Motion carries. Item FR-225-22 Winston Municipal Airport
State Equipment Grant Agreement for skid steer loader purchase. Okay. So, we've seen this on here a couple of times. Reason being the um Mindot had changed the the funding that we were able to receive on this. Uh
originally we had gone out and and uh had thought we were going to be able to get 62,000 I think of uh of equipment that would be uh funded with a grant from MDOT that changed to about 40
something,000. So um we had to make up that difference and I think uh you know we had talked about some of the things that we wanted or some of the pieces that we wanted that the um mind did not not approve. We decided that that was
worth going through. So, as a group at the the work session, which leaves us with about a $7,000 bill, entertain a motion.
Uh, I'll make a motion on uh resolution R-25-22 authorizing the mayor and city administrator to execute Minnesota Department of Transportation, Office of Aeronautics, State Airports fund equipment grant agreement number
105994 for the purchase of a skid steer loader and related equipment for the Winstead Municipal Airport. A motion. Is there a second? A second. Any additional discussion? All in favor? I I motion
