This conference will now be recorded. All in favor? I oppose. Passes 500. Accounts payable. Uh Bob Priy, this is going to take a long time, so pick it up. Everything is uh very very small. Um everything is normal. The only thing
that kind of caught my interest was some parts uh for the new parts or for the new street sweeper. Uh just looking at that because it was u new uh and wondering about under warranty, but it was just normal um parts for uh brushes and maintenance. Um so the accounts
payable is a total of uh $14,544.32. There's no questions. I would make a motion to approve that. I have one quick question probably for Kim. Taxes on Ninth Street corner uh 525. What What lot is that? That is the
corner where we took the hairpin turnout. Oh, okay. And it will be designated uh differently next year. We should be paying taxes on it. Who will be paying taxes on that then? It will be probably it won't be it will be exempt. Okay. Okay. Perfect. I knew that
was something. Okay. I'll second. Any further discussions? All in favor? I oppose. Passes 5 0. Thanks, uh, Bobby. Uh, public comment portions. Individuals may address the city council about any items of concerns. Speakers must state the name
and limit the remarks to 5 minutes. Chief, you have anything? I will close the public comments portion and uh we will jump to consent agenda. All items listed in the consent agenda are considered routine by council and re be
approved by one motion. We just have one from uh the regular meeting minutes of April 17th. I'll make the motion to pass the consent agenda. I'll second. Any further discussions? All in favor? I
oppose. Passes 500. Let's jump down to uh new business 8A resolution 202521. uh the 1025 Main Street variance. This is at adopting a finding of facts and reason approval that we discussed last
council. So, this is just um doing a resolution on that that we discussed last uh council meeting and we just got to do the typical uh protocol on that. So, I'll make a motion to approve resolution 202521.
I'll second. Uh any further discussions? We will do roll call. Bob. All right. Uh Joan, hi. Kevin, I Fred, does Can Fred still vote on that even though he wasn't here? He probably should. Abstain. Okay. Okay, perfect. Passes
401. Um, let's jump to 8B. Sale of the 2021 hybrid squad chief. So we discussed at uh last workshop regarding some options and uh we came to the conclusion that the best option is
to sell the vehicle as is without um painting the doors that are permanently painted white or wrapping it. And so this vehicle we would like to uh go ahead and we're going to list this one via Facebook. We're going to try
marketplace and and sell it at fair market value based on mileage condition just like anything else. I'll run some numbers. Probably detract a little bit on the fact that it's a black and white vehicle rather than a solid color. Um
but that's kind of the situation. We should have our 2025 I think Thursday next week. So that'll be out and rolling about. So that's all I got. We're not I don't think we have to. It's
just it's one of those things that is is really good for us when we just want to, you know, get the best deal as we can. I think that we might get a little more money with this rather than rolling the
dice on just the subscribers with minbid. If it was an older car, I wouldn't I would just min bit bid it. If it was older and had higher mile higher mileage, I would just min it. Just like the last one we sold that had quite a lot of miles on it and we got basically
fair market value out of that vehicle. This one I I let's just try taking our chance and my recommendation is we have it up for 30 days, nothing happens, we put it on minid. I guess we have two questions. We talked about it the other day. One, do we want
to put a minimum on that? I mean, if it sells for 3,000, do we want to deny that? I mean, do we want to put a minimum if it's 3,000, 8,000, 12,000? I know you the research you've done, 15 18,000 is kind of fair market right now,
right? And if we do go with minbid, we can put a reserve on it. We can disclose the reserve right in the details, which is what I'd recommend because people see reserve and you don't put anything on there. They expect that you want basically fair market value and they're,
you know, people are on an auction for a reason. They're looking for a good deal. That's what I do. So, but if you put something that you guys would think would be fair, we paid about 20 to $22,000 for the vehicle and
that was uh almost two years ago. Is that correct? I think at least a year ago, I know that. So, and it had like 20ome,000 miles on it. And we got what 60 now? 65.
So, I mean, I would think we should be able to get 10,000 for it. I wouldn't have any concerns about putting a $10,000 reserve on it and and just disclose, hey, reserves at 10 grand. Um they, you know, I I think that that certainly would work. Um but if we want
to first try that avenue and if you want me to do the min bid after 30 days, we could put that minimum reserve on it. I really don't care how we do it. I just hate to do it whatever we do and we sell it for 3 4,000 because that's a high bidder. Yeah. I'm confident it wouldn't go that low based on the the year, the
mileage. Um there's no there's no problems with it other than in my opinion the paint. Well, my my my worst opinion is the door the door handles, you know, in the back seat and being plastic and the center council that we talked about it. All our squads for the
most part come that way and people that are buying interceptors kind of have to face the fact that they got to put a few internal components in it. And you know that's what Viking auto salvage or AAA auto salvage are really good for. You know I mean someone could probably
re-equip those doors and that that console for you know two 300 bucks fairly easily. Um, I guess my next question, when the new squad becomes ready to roll, are we switching that amongst all the officers
or is that going to be designated to one person or how we do that? It'll be assigned to two officers. That's the day and night. Correct. So, we kind of put them opposite ends of the spectrum so we don't hot seat the car. Yep. And I just asked that because Pasquali got his own
car but sergeant and that was perfect. So you're going Facebook. We're going to try marketplace. Might as well. Not quite, but I want to be on the higher end if I can, you know, that that
way if someone wants to offer me something that's reasonable. And you know this is I would give another one right stay within fair market value but if there's a reasonable offer that seems
palatable you know maybe give city administrator the authority to agree that that's you know that's reasonable. [Music] Well, I'll make that motion to uh put that out on u Facebook marketplace and
try it there first and then if not then go to minbid second. Any further discussions? All in favor? I oppose passes 500. Thanks chief. Uh 8 C uh let's do 2025 mill and
overlay project. Mike. So, I put the um project together a couple months ago and then when and I got quotes back and then I'm over the threshold of 175,000. So, I'm looking to um get
council approval to have WHKS put a bid package out there for us for between three and $4,000. They said they could do that and um get some streets milled and overlaid.
I had um Willare and Deuke and Sugarloaf Parkway is three of them. And we'll have some options in there of just an 8 foot edge mill or a total reclaim. And then on Willare, I have an option for um sub
drain going in behind the curb with that project too, but they'll be bid out separately. I assume that subdrains where we had that water problem and icing this winter up by Bob's house. Yeah. Where the rich people live. I think it needs to be taken care of. Is
that sub drain going to help that drainage on that? Well, then it it helps the people able to tie into that, too. And then it'll help with the streets, keep the streets dry, too. I'll make that motion to approve
the uh the bid package to uh see what kind of cost that will all be. I'll second it. Any further discussions? We have to go through the Y. Any other
questions? All in favor? I oppose. Passes 500 Z. Thanks, Mike. Uh, reports Chief Sue Robin Beth, I knew it was one of them. Sorry. All right. Um, the first thing that I
want to talk about is the ambulance service has received from the Minnesota Department or the Office of Emergency Medical Services the second year in a row, which is just a sight of unheard of recognition and awards for um
clinical excellence. um they have certain criteria that they have to meet, let's say, with cardiac patients and stroke patients and trauma patients and so forth. Um they meet all of those and they have been recognized by the state for the second time in a
row that um we're providing exceptional clinical care for all the patients that we serve. Kevin, I'll I'll take it once we get around to me. Yeah. Okay. Perfect. Thanks, Bev. Chief,
I would just say that that's no surprise to me regarding our ambulance service because they are some of the best they are. I mean, I've I've heard people say they're better than Mayo Clinic with their ambulance. The same and we certainly show have a lot of sympathy and compassion and it's good working
with them. But outside of that, uh I know that uh our one of our employees who's been out on leave will be coming back soon. So, he'll be coming back for his regular shifts on uh Wednesday. So, he's got his medical clearance for that.
So, next week. Wednesday. Yep. Perfect. That's all I got. Perfect. Thanks, Chief. James, so we uh launched a new library system today, a new computer system. So, we've been busy training that and getting information out to the public. Um, so it's been a hectic hectic
month of that. We've been on the same uh database for 25 years now. Wow. So, um so it's been a lot of a lot of learning for us and uh probably the community as well, but uh we're up and running today, so that's good. Uh also want to mention that we hired a new children's librarian. Um so that's the other
full-time position at the library and uh she starts on May 21st from East Josie. So we look forward to having her on board and running our summer reading program this year. And I just want to also say um give a a big thanks to Kim and Brian as well. they uh helped the
library board with that um during some of my absence. So um that was it was a huge help and I I really appreciate all that Brian and Kim provided administratively for the library. So perfect. Go ahead. I just want to throw Miranda in there because I know Miranda helped with that too. I mean I mean yeah
she did. I mean I don't want to leave her out but Miranda did help knowing knowing what I did but perfect. And that and just the question on the computer system is that Celco all the community libraries are going to that software. Are we ahead of the game or behind the game on other libraries? We are ahead.
Okay, perfect. My wife is actually the database library coast so we got a bit insight. Okay, perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Sounds good. Thanks, James. Kim, nothing tonight. Mayor Mike, I just want to thank the um ZM 9th grade
class. Mr. Stapleton organizes um a service day during MCAs up there to get them out of the school for a while and it's always the ninth graders. This year they um mulched all the trees that we planted out in the park and they did a really good job and it's much
appreciated. So perfect. I mean, and I want to give a shout out for the school because they've been pretty active in the community, uh, especially the superintendent and, uh, the principal. So, I appreciate that. Thanks, Mike. I have nothing, Bob. Nothing tonight. Joan, nothing tonight. Kevin, on the
ambulance side, just a notification that we had all three of the rigs participate in the MC crash scenario at the uh, at the school. So it was wellreceived and um from my understanding our uh our
crews did phenomenal. They got awarded for real stuff. So the ability to put on the mock really really exceptional there. And then just um update that Ryan is pursuing uh further grant dollars to alleviate some of the uh just the the
cash flow. So perfect. I mean talk about grant dollars. I just had a resident in town text me on a grant out there another way that Brian's sending to our grant writing. So, it's I mean there's tons of grants out there, we just got to be
looking for them because my philosophy is if it's not us getting them, they're giving them somewhere else. So, the grant's huge. So, thanks uh Kevin Fred's got a question like some big [Music] project. Can we get more
council meeting updates on what's going on there because I hear stuff out in the community about you know the parking and stuff and I know in one of Brian's updates he said that we should get together with all the people and talk about that alley the way the parking is going to be
right now with the apartment complex they've kind of been quiet I mean they haven't been much uh conversation lack of communication with them lately is with them so we have not seen a final plan. So, I mean, so once the final plan comes out, it'll go through EDA. It'll
go probably through planning and zona and council. So, it'll get out there. So, I know I know that's been going on there. They're going to do some bargaining with the park. They're going to allow people to park in that alley for another patio there. I mean, I mean, just I mean for
updates, we had question. Yeah. If we have out, we don't have outd updates right now because it's been a while since we've seen the plans on that. But once we do, it'll be out there. So, we don't even know what that patio is going to be. Before that happens, I know Brian mentioned about meeting them heads up instead of all of a sudden when it
happens, it's going through questions. You have to see the development agreement yet and the development agreement hasn't been signed. So, until that is in the process, there's nothing available to look at. until the agreement is signed and they're working
on that right now. Anything else? Right. Perfect. Sounds good. Meeting a journ. [Music] Oh yeah.
