privilege to speak do you like to come up just you want to give your name and address sure um thank you for giving me this opportunity my name is Tom mckel I live over on a Fletcher Court 27485 back in the culdesac um my purpose
for being here today is I'd like to get some more information on our street maintenance now last year we had a pretty serious pothole problem um what had been fixed or taken care of was right where you
come in to 273rd in 274th it looks like they brought in some asphalt they basically uh had flattened it but if you go further into the development none of those potholes were taken care of um it it got bad enough
and I don't know if it was the city or if it was one of the uh one of the residents somebody came through with cold patch and started filling these holes and I saw an old truck out there um again I don't think it was the city but that creates its own problems
because you now got gravel in your shoes you take your dog for a walk you drag it into your house you get tar over car so I guess I'd just like to know we're still sitting with Pooles and I'm sure if I would have marked them from last year that haven't been addressed and
we're already middle of June I'd like to know what's the plan because I really am hoping these get taken care of this year okay Mr Rees can you answer that question yes uh thanks for coming in to talk about this tonight uh we have been out doing pothole patching which is a uh
the deeper holes and and I've driven the neighborhood uh so there's a couple of things going on up there there's some P pothole patching that needs to be done but there's also delamination which is a uh failure of uh chip seal okay um and
so while the public works department is responsible for the the asphalt in the city and the roads in the city we've also been working through annual street sweeping and annual hydrant flushing and with a smaller crew we get pulled in different directions and so we're we're
kind of covering a lot of different ground and this week it's been a lot of trees and and uh storm water surface water situations so I can add to the uh list for the pothole patching and then once we get through the pothole patching we'll be coming back to work on that delamination so is there anything on the
website I guess my question is where we can go back to reference because I know at one point last year I think and and Mr Reeves I don't know if you were I think you're new you are I I joined the the city here in February so I I can't speak to anything that happened other
than being able to gather some information either from internally through the city or through documents um I I unfortunately I can't answer for anything no worries I what I'm saying is I think there was a list of streets that were kind of in the process of getting addressed that may go a long ways and
and and comforting people going oh you know I'm it it lends itself to some credibility you know are you talking about our 5year CIP yeah I want to I want to add that that this area was a part of the uh road tour just last month
and is on the 5year CIP okay and what is a 5-year CIP so that's a a 5year Outlook um an inventory of the roads of what's going to be um reconstructed or or uh I'm sorry I'm it's okay we could also
have Mr or Mr ly not a full reconstruct but right it would be a a substantial like either like a mill overlay or a reconstruction so I think we our 5-year CIP plan that's essentially when we do those major improvements it's not just like a you know the patchwork and things
like that it's those so I believe that Pro that project is on our 5year CIP right now um I'd have to confirm the date I think it's 2027 or 2028 I think with that one's out right now essentially every three years we have um our engineering goes out and does a pavement management index sure uh
inventory I should say and they essentially go through and count the cracks and the distresses in the streets and identify just what streets are in the worst condition and that's really a component of our CIP when we try to identify kind of the worst to first so we'll do the the really bad ones and I'm not you know like you said there's
definitely potholes in that road we drove it with the council there's a delamination there's potholes and um so I know there needs to be some there's maintenance along with a lot of our other streets so certainly um I think we know that and I know our Public Works is doing our best to keep up with it but um you know we appreciate when you know
they can't be everywhere but I think that's one that we know that there is there's some issues there so we we appreciate you um being vocal letting us know worries thank you you're welcome I've got a card here for you so when something comes up go ahead and
out thank you very much we appreciate it thank you feel free to stay or if you want to get whatever you want to do but all right sounds good it will be a quick meeting so best one to come to then all right uh next on our um agenda number one approval of minutes consider

prohibiting the EST established M or operation of any new hemp businesses in the city of Wyoming under Minnesota State Statute 46 2.35 sub4 D2 Mr Lynwood yes thank you
mayor members of the council um this is in regards to the the city currently is acting upon a moratorium on uh prohibiting hemp businesses in the city uh while we go through and continue to determining Zoning for those we'll probably have the the Planning Commission you'll start to see more work on that in the upcoming um months as we
near the end of that moratorium but during the 2024 legislative session U Minnesota State Statute 34218 was enacted allowing automatic lure of businesses selling edible cannaboid products and lower potency hemp retailers and with that new automatic lure statute it becomes necessarily that
we either extend that Mor moratorium that we adopted in July of 23 or we actually go through the process and adapt adopt a new zoning process uh to regulate those hemp hemp businesses so really we have two options tonight um if we want to continue that existing
moratorium which is what the staff is recommending due to this new legislation that came in so we could either adopt a new zoning ordinance for that we are not staff hasn't prepared that that hasn't gone through the process yet a Planning Commission or city council or we look to extend that moratorium through this new
um lure allowance through the hemp products we have to have a public hearing between June 26th and J July 11th so staff is requesting that we would hold that public hearing on July 2nd 2024 and that would be to consider consider extending the inter ordinance temporarily priding The Establishment or
operation of any new hemp businesses in the city of Wyoming under Minnesota State Statute 462 355 subdivision 4d2 I'm glad you read it again so I don't have to thank you so my only question that are we is it another year is it I mean do we you'll talk about that
obviously at the right we would we would extend it congruently with the current moratorium that we have in place okay got it all right um has everybody checked their calendars for July 2nd 2024 anybody have any issues
no I believe that's our regular meeting anyways too so okay all right um so I'll make that motion to um consider public hearing at the July 2nd 2024 Wyoming city council meeting to extend the interim ordinance and so on and so forth
