This conference will now be recorded. [clears throat] >> All right. Whenever you're ready. >> All right. Call the meeting to order. Any amendments or changes to the agenda? >> Yeah, one change. You can see under new business letter B will be an update on
Annie's which was not in the original one sent out earlier in the week. >> Okay. >> I'll make a motion to approve the adopted agenda. >> Second motion and second to adopt agenda with
the amendment. All in favor? >> I posted. All right. I'll review the regular meeting minutes of June 17th, please. [clears throat] I'll move to approve the minutes.
Second. We >> have a motion and a second to approve the regular meeting minutes of June 17, 2026. All in favor? >> I opposed. All right. Monthly financial report and accounts payable.
>> Yeah, you'll see in here. I don't believe there's anything different than usual what we had. Make a motion we accept the uh monthly financial report and accounts payable for June ending June 30th, 2026.
>> Have a motion and a second. All in favor? >> Post. Public hearings. Old business. Tulip tree marketing. >> Yeah. So, you can see our first payment for tulip tree uh was in was placed and
I had them send some examples and I in the packet here you can see some examples of what this consists of with Google ads. Um and they install a tracking code for current websites targeting of individuals who are most likely to be interested in your products or services. uh remarketing to current
prospective customers who have previously visited our website which is the city. So it's targeting new customers and using dynamic prospecting. Uh this is all information from a tulip tree. So you can see the examples and if you keep an
eye out anytime you're on your phone being that you're members of Zimroda, you may see one of these pop up. I'm not checking my Facebook page. It popped up on the bus this morning when I was riding to work. >> Yes. >> So, it showed I was gonna bring it up. I took I took a screenshot of it because
it Yeah, if I can access it. >> Yeah. Oh, good. >> Showed up. >> You see? >> I shut my phone off because Todd looked at it. >> Yeah, >> I did add so the building here on the corner that used to be Greenstead. I
added that to things to advertise for opening a business if you're interested in opening a business in Zimbro because I believe that may be the only spot open. Uh the former uh barber shop is if you've looked in there is being redone and I haven't
quite figured out what's going in there. It was either a dog grooming place or if you know something different please let me know. I think about the Mexican restaurant >> that's closed I think >> over here [clears throat] >> across from 24hour. >> Yeah.
>> Snap. You hear anything about that? >> No. The last thing I've heard is there was uh a official in there looking for to make see if they could get a walk going in there because the word on the street was is a Thai restaurant was going to look
to go in there but I have not seen that 100%. So, I haven't seen anything about it yet. She seen that. >> I do think the barber shop over there, I do think it's going to be a dog something. >> I It is cuz I saw somebody post on the
town talk page. They said something is coming and have like dog >> stuff. I don't know the details. [laughter] >> Yeah, there's they're doing work in there and we It seems like it would work out since it used to be a barber shop and it's kind of set up for that. [laughter] I like the look of the new
with the windows. >> Yeah. >> Fix that. >> Redoid their sign a little bit. That first sign was kind of hard to see. >> Yeah. >> I was wondering why didn't he just move his current sign and just kind of put it against the building. >> Rebrand it. >> Rebrand. >> Okay. >> I mean, he even changed his logo on his
truck to the new logo. >> Oh, did he? Okay. Deal. >> I color scheme that he's got. >> Out of curiosity, I looked up what dynamic prospecting is. It's uh an advertising strategy that uses artificial intelligence to show new
users your products. >> Welcome to a world of AI. [laughter] >> Yeah. But if you have any ideas or anything that they should add for an advertisement, let me know. I will pass them on to Tulip Tree. They're very they'll start putting ads out for the uh
the fair coming up. Any word on what's going on with the South Casey's property? >> No. [clears throat] Well, originally it was a BP was going to go in there. There was a rumor of a snappy stop and I don't know if that was true or not. Uh but it
was going to be a BP and then it the talks kind of faltered. So, at this point, I haven't heard anything for sure. >> Well, we might have to send Chief out there because I've already had a complaint on the tall grass. Oh, yeah.
>> I asked about because they still have firewood out there for sale. >> If you look inside the store, this looks like they just closed the door and left everything. >> Oh, really? >> Oh, really? >> They actually had grass. >> Yeah. I mean, there ain't much, but when it's knee high, you notice it
>> and uh I know the guy that lives next door, So, >> I said, why don't you just mow it? >> Is that Casey's own? I don't know if they own the building or not. >> I think when Merly Dell owned it, I think Casey's took over
>> like corporate. >> I thought >> So it is corporate. >> I assume that I know that the operation was corporate and I assume that corporate bought the buildings too. But >> isn't all Casey's corporate? >> No. >> Are they okay? >> You know, they were I don't know if they
are anymore, >> right? They might be all corporate now. Maybe that's why they bought them, but It definitely has affected the only store open as being more busy. >> Does that mean >> the places >> trying to pull a truck and trailer in there sometimes? >> The only casings you need.
>> Yeah. The only one here now. >> Just cuz Quick Trip's so busy. >> I know. A Marathon doesn't seem to be too busy at all. >> Not at all. Not forget. >> I mean, somebody just told me today that they read or saw that this quick trip was like the third busiest
>> I've heard in company. I've heard the top five, but you just you just read something in the last six months that >> it was the third busiest. >> I got to remember the day they opened and it hasn't slowed down since. [laughter] >> Yeah. I mean, it don't matter if it's 11 o'clock in the morning, 11 o'clock at
night. It's >> Yeah. Right. Any more discussion on tulip tree marketing? >> Question for you said that like if we were if we came up with an idea, we could reach out to three and say, "Hey, >> yeah, you sent to me and I could pour it on as an idea."
>> Yeah. But I mean, we can. >> Yep. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Get something. Let me know. >> I thought I heard you. [clears throat] >> All right. 6B scale of 55
0 22nd Street. >> Yeah. So, as we know, we've had this. The reason that we don't have a a uh public hearing today is because I wanted you to be able to see the purchase agreement, the purchase agreement in front of you. About the only thing that you as an EA may want to look at and I
put on here as well is uh if you go to number seven corporations and that's kind of the expenses that each side pay. So the buyer which is PNK will pay for majority of everything obviously but the question I have and
this may be negotiable or not the real estate taxes. So, the city has paid this year's version of the real estate taxes, which is $2,146. We hope to have this all done in August. So, therefore, September, October,
November, and December. We could ask to have that uh refunded to the city. That would be a total. So, it's roughly the city pays roughly $180 a month in
real estate tax. I think it's $178.83. So that would mean PNK would pay the city $715.33 because they would take over ownership of that land sep by September 1st. And this is something I can forward on
to um Paul PNK [snorts] if you as a group believe that's a good idea or not. I see. Please let me know. The only other thing that we will pay our legal fees since we have a returning on retainer, we don't
pay additional legal fees for it because I asked that um the recording cost is $46 to record this to the county, the sale of this land. So, the real expense, uh I believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is the
taxes to get that reimbured. I just think it should be prorated. Whenever they take possession, they pay taxes on it. I mean, that's how >> generally that's >> any real estate transaction I've ever done [clears throat] or been part of. >> Yeah. >> Unless I mean, has it not been done that
way? Yeah. But >> does the city pay a discounted rate tax rate for land? >> No, >> I don't think so. I get the same statement every other. So until they improve the land, it be the same basic
taxes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It'd be interesting to see uh if we if we actually play city tax on it, which I think we still do, which is kind of, you know, the city's paying the
property taxes, but we're getting it. I mean, but I still I don't think we get any benefit out of that. Can you point me to where the sale price is? >> Yeah, it's on page. >> Number two on the second page. Purchase
price and manner of payment. >> I don't have two. >> I don't either. I got one. I don't either. >> I know. Come on. >> Okay. It's $50,000. $2,000 down and 48,000 on closing.
That's what you asked. >> That's what I was asking. >> Yeah. Do you have the same thing? >> So when I make copies one-sided, [laughter] >> are they all one-sided pieces of paper? >> I'm missing page two. >> Two in there. >> Six.
>> Well, if you need to see two, [laughter] four, six, and 10 are missing. Ryan, you want to pull? >> Is that your first time using a copier? >> [laughter] >> fit your personality. >> Hey, [laughter]
>> so it's $50,000 and we could add the prorate tax to the purchase agreement which would be paid at closing. That sound do we need to make a vote on that as EDA? So >> I mean I still think you should vote on
it. So, we need a motion to vote >> just to prorate the taxes. I'll make that motion. >> Second. >> Okay, we have a motion and a second to just prorate the taxes. Do we should we vote on accepting the $50,000?
We've already I guess >> I think we did >> technically did that. >> Yeah, we did. We did. Okay, so we're good. So, uh, we have a motion, a second to prorate the taxes, uh, to the closing for this property. Any further discussion?
>> We'll add it at the purchase. >> Okay. All >> in favor? >> I k the only other sir, >> honorable and Kurt. [laughter] Um, the only other question I had when I
was looking at the packet is the signatory for EDA can, and I don't have it in front of me. So, can you tell me what it says or show it to me? I want I think Lindsay signs it. Right. >> Right. And then I as an executive director sign it. >> Yeah.
And I I can't remember, but I don't remember. Let me let me rephrase. I was wondering if it should say something in there on behalf of EDA. So it does right now the way I read it quickly. Yes, it's an a purchase agreement between
EDA. I just maybe I'm being overly cautious. I'm just wondering if the signatory what's it say? >> It says some economic development authority by I didn't remember seeing that. So that's that was my question. So if it's there then that's cool.
>> I have all the pages. >> Yeah. All the pages cuz he brought him from home. [laughter] >> All right. Thank you, Bob. >> All right. 6C, August meeting change. >> Okay. So,
this this is on me again because we looked at the purchase agreement today. Originally, we're going to have the public hearing today and then our meeting in August. We're going to kind of meet at the SEA celebration. Well,
because we need to have a public hearing, we can't meet at the seat of celebration. So, what I would like to do, and let me know if you're okay with this, is move our August meeting up a week. And then we can have the public hearing on August 12th
and have that done. And then the 19th, you are free to come to the seat of celebration if you would like or you don't have to. That's completely up to you. Basically, what I need is at least four people that could be here August 19th, if that's okay with you.
>> You mean August 12th? >> Excuse me. August 12th. Yes. August 12th >> at 5:30. [clears throat] >> 5:30. >> I'm in Arizona for work. Sorry. >> One. >> Oh, another teddy. >> No. [laughter] >> Uh, I think I can make it.
>> Okay. >> I can be here. >> Uh, Todd, >> put it on my calendar. My wife's got a hair and haircut and highlight, but I think >> Right. >> Um, >> yeah. >> Yeah, I I think I'll be here. Yeah, >> as long as I have four. Lindsay may be
able to make it >> and it's highlighted. I call it die just to irritate. >> Okay. So, can I have a motion to move our next meeting August 12th? I'll second. >> We have a motion two seconds to
>> Thank you. >> to move the August meeting date from uh to August 12th. Any further discussion? All those in favor? >> I opposed.
New business. Budget review. How just out of curiosity, how long do you how many times do you have to how many weeks do you have to promote the hearing before the >> 20 days? Actually, it's 10 days in in the paper. It's got to be there 10 days before. I'll send it out uh after our
meeting tonight. Okay. So, it'll the next issue of the paper it'll be in. And then the three there's only three parcels of land within 350 ft that we'll get an actual letter from me about it. Sorry.
Okay. So, new business re budget review. So, I added the budget. I got it from Kim and overall if you can see um so 2025 budget was about $94,445. Uh this year's budget was $100,79
and they're proposing the same budget for next year which for the EDA I think will be okay. They're not issuing any raises in budgets for EDA and I'm not sure what other groups if park is in this as well due to the money going towards a new pool.
So, as far as expenses go, uh I think it's on the next page. You can see the expenses. If you can read them numbers, let me know. [laughter] So, I put them on there.
Yeah. So, what we can do is you can look uh at these. It's kind of an introduction and then if you want to come to our next meeting and vote on a new budget, you're you're free to vote on a budget tonight. Um it's it's kind of up to you as a group
as EDA. I just know that we're getting trying to find ways to cut areas of the budget just because of the pool and to get that funding. So, I [snorts] know we're not just picking on EDA. We got to pick
on some other areas that uh with the pool bonding bill and then how would they call it the abatement uh get the other financing funding which we're hoping that we get other donations
to obviously lower that dollar that $1.6 million. So I do [clears throat] know we're working on other areas keeping it the same versus doing the typical 3 to 4% every year just
with cost. So I will make that motion to keep the budget the same for 2027. >> Second. We have a motion and second to uh accept the proposed budget for 2027 of $100,79.
Any discussion? Further discussion? >> Now we just need to try to work on keeping uh his salary the same for the next year and then it would really help the budget. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Is there room in the budget for a new
coffee machine? >> Yeah. We just got one. >> That's even the worst thing. >> Oh, wow. >> But I did get the mics up. Okay. [laughter] >> All right. Uh, any further discussion?
>> All right. All in favor? >> I opposed. >> All right. Update on Annie's. >> Yeah. And we got an update from Anniey's. Thanks. Thank you, Brian, for reminding me. Um, up to this point, she has used $5,000 of the $25,000 that the
EDA granted her as a line of credit. That'll be due on January 15th of 2027. According to Andy, things are going good. She had a slow start at the beginning, but things have definitely picked up.
It's great to hear that she's only used five. She can maybe knock it out. And if she doesn't and we have to term it out for her, I don't think that's too big of an issue. >> No, I mean I mean I would have guessed she would have used more.
>> Mhm. >> Before I saw this number, if you would asked that question, >> how much you think she would I mean, I would have said 2025 just because the restaurant business is tough. >> Yeah. Um, >> but she did a lot of the work herself, so >> huge. So,
>> Yep. Yep. So, yeah, I think that's a it's a good update. >> So, she does not pay interest only every month. >> No, no. The the agreement was that she would
um she would earn interest on the CD that's she took out with it. So basically it's kind of a wash for >> and we did what a percent and a half loan on it or is it a percentage? >> Was it a 1%? >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. You say this is due on the January 15th or that's when she starts paying. >> That's when it's due. It was a one year. >> It was just a one-year commitment. So at that point we just need to get the update from her. If she still owes five or if she owes more or whatever it is,
then we get that update. And if she can't pay it on 15th, then I think we would extend some terms to its payments. >> All right. >> Because it would seem like kind of a permanent working capital at that point.
>> Yeah. >> Y pay off. >> But but it's the same thing we got to look at. We got an open restaurant that might be they might be asking for the same thing. We got Greenstead the same thing to get them businesses in there.
We may have to do that again. >> And uh Roxan Barge, their business is looking to make uh they're trying to vacate. Okay. So, behind their business is kind of an open area and officially there's an alley
back there. So, they are vacating the alley. So Miles is working on that right now. And they're going to buy the land of the person who's behind them. >> Isn't part of the city lot part of the >> Yeah. So half of it's really weird. Half of it city that other half it's diagonal
is the owner of that land. Um so they're working to take that over in hopes of that'll be a big talking about the land back there, not the building behind them, >> right? up to the building >> cuz it's some of it's owned by a shirt
building, whoever owns that building. And the city also has nine parking spots cuz it's real goofy back. >> Yeah, it's it's at an angle. >> So, they came and asked if we'd be I mean >> Yeah. >> So, it doesn't really benefit the city much back there. Do we have a few
renters >> maybe that use it? >> So, that's just a kind of a side note. Yep. All right. Reports. >> Yeah. KV apartments. Uh Andy Bartman was
in this week and is going to kind of give a tour to city personnel of what's been done in there so far. Uh seen the gigantic crane working down there. And there supposedly is going to be done February 2027. I think there I ran into
Andy a couple weeks ago and they were ahead of schedule already then. So So and and I haven't heard any negative to towards parking. I mean I don't know if Bob has with his business stuff but >> well there the parking uh is an issue
from the standpoint that some folks are parking on Main Street basically. Yeah, I did. I >> I tried to make a phone call cuz I wanted to talk to the mayor and I called that person. Her uh left her a message. She called me. I obviously wasn't in the
vehicle. I called her back and I haven't heard from her since. I'm not going to chase. >> Yeah. >> You know who I'm talking about. >> But I think it's gotten a little better. But um you know, there's no signs on Main Street. their sides on the park on the side streets for two-hour parking,
but not on Main Street, which there probably should be. Um, so that people keep rotating. >> This person wants to eliminate two-hour parking on Main Street, and I just giggled. >> Yeah, that's crazy. >> I said that would kill the businesses. >> Yeah.
>> I mean, it's just everybody's got to work together and and be and use common sense that, hey, I'm a renter. I'm going to be home for 6 hours. Let's park a block away. We got a city parking lot here. We got >> We've got all our apartment people parking in the city parking lots, but
liquor store wherever >> or by not the liquor store anymore. Dating myself. [laughter] >> So that that's Yeah. So that was one of the conversations I was going to have with that person, but
>> I'm like you said, >> I I'm not very good at looking at plans and envisioning things. So now with the foundation in place and seeing how much room there is in that alley, I can
actually see that there will be >> diagonal. As long as they don't take up too much room between the building and the parking because right now >> with that fence in there, we can't get into the basement. >> Yeah. >> You know, so that's got to go back a ways. Y
>> but um >> nice >> it'd be really nice if they could get that alley done before winter you know even though it'd be a little bit of a goofy setup because I don't know what they can do around the building but
going into winter >> because you would think they would want all that concrete work and paving done if they plan on open. So I mean I'll have to ask Andy on that. I'd just go talk to the general, too, and just see what his opinion and timeline >> because if you're going to be open February, which is dead of winter, you
ain't pouring any concrete or laying any black top. So, my guess is that would all be done October, Novemberish, and all they got to do is the putting the cover plates and stuff on January and February. The basic stuff would be my guess. >> And that sidewalk up on
second, having that done would be nice, too. >> Third, >> is it third? >> Third. Yeah, >> I would guess I would I I'll ask that question. I'll maybe go stop it and talk to the general and or Andy. Andy will be like, "Talk to the general."
>> This isn't an EDA thing, but um I saw driving in to work this morning that um shoeers are working the land uh next county six. >> Yep. on the way up to my place. >> Phase seven. >> Is that what it's called?
>> Has that been platted? >> Yeah. >> Big load. >> Yeah. >> And how much of it's been platted all the way up to county six or No, >> it's all that whole land has been platted there. I've seen >> I'm just curious. >> I've seen the plat. I just It's all done in phase >> preliminary
>> preliminary plat. The only thing that's now is what they're doing for seven. That's the >> So then will there do we know I didn't I'm just asking this probably a zoning question. Um will there be another access on on the back on 435th?
>> As of right now there is but I know there's been a couple of hiccups questions on that. But yeah >> because one is the width of the road and turning lanes has kind of been a dilemma. >> Exactly what I'm asking. But I I mean I don't have any definite answers, but
there has been or is in the preliminary an out >> on that side 435th. >> And I think it's closer to the bottom of the hill towards the golf course versus the hill part because you don't want it on the hill up or down. So,
>> and it and it might that might have been originally where it was a little bit more up the hill, but yeah. And the grading that they did originally is conducive to that to it sweeping around and coming out closer to the bottom >> so I think the latch now is what is it
27 >> that's what they're putting in >> I think yeah I think >> somewhere in that ballpark which I have not seen that the finalized plat but I know it's been done I just I'd like to look at just to refresh the memory where all the
>> No it's good I mean I'm glad that there's going to be another exit point. There needs to be another exit point just for just for emergencies. >> Well, 100%. I mean, >> so it makes sense. And as long as it's not on the top very top of the hill, which I know you wouldn't put it there, but >> and the top could almost be better
because then you can see down the hill both. I mean, so I'm no engineer, but >> I'm just Yeah, I >> any more access to direct access to six from >> uh I don't think so. >> Okay. I don't I don't I can't remember because you got Swenson's old property
that surrounds it. So, I think the only other axis was going to be on that 438, >> but I'll I'll try to get that preliminary just >> I was just curious. >> Um, back to the alley. I've heard some
people ask about would that going to be a oneway trucks bottoming out potentially or on coming up that hill now they come when they come the other way it's not an issue but when they have to go to the south that
could potentially be >> Is it a one way going this way though is it still going up the hill I don't think the county wanted it coming on to the county road they want to go >> well I know the county balked a little barked a little bit about even the entrance coming out of the apartment
and I can't remember what criteria they wanted to make it different. >> I think it's back far enough that people could make the turn >> and I think it's less cars than the county originally thought. >> So it's not like you're going to have 10 cars coming out of there in 10 minutes. So would be an issue
>> and the only reason I bring it up is that if they are if color Bartman has to do some improvements there and the city sees value and somehow regrading or something on that
incline [clears throat] might be good to coordinate all that. So, >> but I mean it's the same thing the county bark about caribou coffee drive-thru and what they made Neielson's do to make it code. I don't know how
much you watch that but there ain't many people that use the actual correct county approved exit especially when they got a semi back and they're unloading. I mean I don't know I mean I'm not going to sit there and get a cup of coffee and then sit there wait
for a semi to unload. So, I'm getting out of there if I got to run over a cone or not. But it's it's >> it's kind of interesting, but satisfying. >> That was kind Yeah, that's what we had to do cuz it comes out on a city road, which is a goofy intersection anyway,
>> especially if you got a loop to go out. >> I think it's actually probably more dangerous for people with that curve there. But anyway, whatever. >> Can [clears throat] be a lot going on in there. Yeah, but it's not like caribou's
pumping car. I mean, it's one at a time and then you usually get a few minute wait and then you get another one. It's not like you're they're busy. >> They are. They do very well there. I did uh just I did talk to Todd Fitz this morning about Zable to see what's going on because I haven't heard
anything. It kind of sounds like they took the summer off. So, we'll see what happens this fall. I um this is this can be after the meeting. So any other
discussion for the meeting itself? All right. Meeting adjourned. I just going to pick up my daughter today from the bus and to sit sit at this
intersection. We're going to buy traffic. >> Which one? >> This right here.
