Conference will now be recorded. Well, I find the most senior people who are making more money buying a person that's making the least amount of money like you. Shall we get started? Turn the mic here. I'll go I'll go around and turn everybody. I was like, I don't know what the button
is. Nope. There you go. You got it. Oh, no. Yep. That one. That one. There you go. Oh. Got to be very careful with how you touch it or it gets very upset at you.
Kind of like my 2-year-old. [Music] All right. It is now 602, so we're a little behind, but we will call this meeting to order. Uh, let's go ahead and review and approve the agenda.
Um, there is one change since I sent it out to you guys and that's to discuss the cardboard member terms. So um set the e that we've already be the next presidential I don't re I don't recall. I'll make a motion that we approve the
agenda for Monday, October 6th of 2025. Second. I got a motion and a second. All in favor? I oppose. Carried. Uh let's look at the minutes and approve the minutes from the September 8th meeting.
A motion to approve the minutes from September 8th of 2025. Second. Got a motion and a second to approve the minutes. All in favor? I. Opposed? Carried. Uh, accounts payable. We already gave approval for that tree
removal, didn't we? That 840. I thought we did like a previous Was that a couple couple months ago? That was the East Park one. Uh, that one should have been for 700 East Park should have been for the spading. [Music]
The 840 move. I'm trying to think. You're right. It's in the minutes from last month. East Park 700. That was probably the park road for the emergency road up there. Those trees. Oh, okay. Trees and stumps. Okay, cool.
[Music] emergency, please. I'll make a motion that we approve the accounts payable for the amount of $4,63529. Second. Got a motion and a second to approve accounts payable. All in favor?
I oppose. Carried. No public comment tonight. All right, we'll jump down to unfinished business. Uh, pool update. Yes. All kinds of stuff to update there.
Well, Aaron was on the the meeting. Yeah, the council meeting. Yep. Yeah, I jumped on it and listened to last council meeting. There's some good stuff. So, we're out for bids. Um, was supposed to have run in the September 19th and the 24th paper. Hopefully, they were in
there. I didn't look for them, but um that's the they bid ad. Um on the September 25th, they were in the plan rooms and there's been several calls. I get a couple of calls, one or two today, and then um Burbach was getting a bunch
of calls before they even put the plans out there. We have a pre-bid contractor awareness meeting on Thursday, October 9th at 2 PM right in here. Um, and so we're inviting any and all local contractors, reaching out, uh, Burbach
is also researching the area and reaching out to all the subs and any general contractors they can find. I sent it along to the ad along to uh, Canudson and Krauss Anderson because they they both expressed a lot of
interest along the way. Krauss Anderson called me every few weeks asking about it. So, um hopefully we get a lot of uh contractors there, a lot of local contractors because during that meeting, uh Burbach is going to want to know if
anybody wants to donate any materials, labor, things like that. We have someone who stated they want to donate the the roofing materials and the labor to do to put the roof on. Um we don't know if that's asphalt or metal roof. I'm assuming asphalt, but if it's donated, well, we'll have an asphalt roof to
start with. We'll move into a metal roof later on. Um, and uh, Shannon Bower is going to donate the gutters and the labor to put the gutters up for the building. So, that little bit helps. And hopefully there'll be some other ones at that meeting that
say, "Yeah, I'd like to donate whatever it is, you know." Um, bid opening will be Tuesday, October 21st at 2 p.m. in here. Uh, Burbach handles all of that. It'll be a bunch of
uh, sealed packets they're looking for. And I thought they want electronic and sealed, but they're going to just open them and read them out loud. And then, um, they'll take all that back and and do all the due diligence on making sure everything that was supposed to be there
is there. Uh, and and they're all qualified biders and qualified subs. if they don't know somebody, they'll they'll do a quick background check to dig into to uh to subs. We'll be able to provide a hey, yeah, we know them type thing. Um, but that'll be in preparation
for a special meeting of the council on October 23rd. Uh the way this went was I I talked to Mike Flity because there's we're kind of debating on you know should it be park board approving the bids or awarding the bids uh signing the
contracts all that good stuff and and uh so I asked Mike Flity and and Mike basically said it it could be but how is the bid ad written? Well, the bid ad was written as the um city council, which is done in most communities. And in talking
to Burbach, they just that's the way they write it. That's the way they write it in every community pretty much. We're a little different because we have a statutory park board and not a lot of communities have a park board with the powers that you guys have. Um but long story short, the council has to do the
awarding of the bids. uh you're all welcome to be there, but if there's going to be more than the two of you there, then I have to post it as a parkboard meeting as well. So, um you know, you'll get all the information anyway. You'll have all the information pro ahead of time on October 21st. You know,
I can let everybody know where the bids are at. Anyway, hopefully three 400,000 lower than than Burbach estimated. I got a qu I got a question if you don't mind. Um, is it strictly going to be
based on price or reputation or locality or Well, the way it's written and our city attorney um you know the low the low bid the low bidder uh but the way it's written is uh qualified um and and
Burbach has relationships with a lot of contractors and if it's someone they've had bad experience with then they're going to so there is some discretion. There's some discretion. Okay. Yes. Okay, that's good. I think. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Um but yeah, Burbach's running the whole thing. Uh we're kind of along for the ride. Um, and then Flity will be part of it as well to to ask those type of questions and make sure everything is is done correctly so we don't get ourselves
into a a problem later with someone suing us for choosing a bidder that wasn't necessarily lower for whatever reason. And and that can lock a project up for a long time. We we've talked about that before with road projects, too. You know, you you don't necessarily have to take the lowest
bids, but if you don't, you could end up in a lawsuit and your project is on hold. while you go through that lawsuit, which is not usually a good thing. You know, a lot of times it'd be best just to because you've got because you got the
uh um the dollars in there. What's that called? The uh the dollars you hold back um retainage. You got the retainage to hold, you know, people accountable, contractors accountable. So, it's very rare that you would not award to the
lowest bidder, but you can have some unless it's wrong. Huh? Unless it's wrong. Yeah. Well, yes, they were uh they were pretty difficult. I got the tail end of that when when I
came, but yeah, there's some of them that would be hard to award to, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Yeah. Uh yeah. So then, uh demo, we did not start demo. Gas is still hooked up, so
we're waiting on them to disconnected the gas. And then there's a little bit of asbestous and some of the caul and um couple other places uh that need to be taken care of. Um depending on who would get the excavation bid. If it's the same
contractor, then we'll hold off demo and that contractor will just do a demo and then write an excavation. U but we don't know yet. We're going to hold off demo at least until just before the start because then we don't have any
temporary fencing to deal with and and right the coverage festival kind of came and went. We had a big excavator out there uh right over the banner which was kind of cool. Hopefully some people saw it. We had a banner down by the stage down here uh that uh Chris and the guys
put on a big sandwich board for us. So that was nice. Uh yeah, so that's what I know. Um the whole debate on if we have a gap in funding will be a council decision. Um
when it became apparent that we might have a gap um I contacted Aaylor's our uh financial adviserss and said hey what what do cities do if they're in this situation? They said well they do one of two things. is they either do a an abatement of the area around the pool
and capture all those taxes uh until until the gap is is is paid back or paid off. Or you do an intra fund loan which is less legal fees and can be less interest too depending on on if council wants to charge interest or
not or modest interest. And the term can be set by the council, you know, 10 years, 20 years if we want to make it, you know, um not uh hit the levy so much. do a 20-year term just like the uh the bonding um with the thought that
we'll keep fundraising and it'll be paid back quicker anyway. U but it would hit the bond it would hit the levy less. So there's all kinds of decisions yet to be made. We'll talk some more about that at the work session on October 15th. And then um of course
before awarding bids, we'll we'll need to talk about whether or not there's you know a desire to to fill the gap. If not, then we'll have to go to uh value engineering and build to the dollars we have, which
is going to be about 3 million 700,000. Um I'm hoping a few more donations come in. U you know, build a $3,700,000 pool in a 3.46 or26 whatever it is million dollar pool, which politically that's not good either
because they didn't vote for that pool. uh you know um I don't I'm of the opinion uh and it's my job to look out for the interest of the of the community. I don't make the decisions but but my recommendation is we need to look at the gap funding uh get the
amenity in place. Uh 71% of the people voted for it uh if you if you do a statistical deal um and and you ran it on the general election, even if you had 3,000 voters, it's still going to be a pass. It's still going to be the majority of the the citizens want that pool.
um couple of percent of the levy or less depending on the term of an internal loan um you know you have the pool and if you don't do it now it's another 400,000 in inflation so so my recommendation will
be that that hey I think we need to strongly consider an interfund loan but again it's a council decision and there's arguments very valid arguments both ways you know yeah it's more than what the the citizens voted for. Absolutely it
is. Uh but everything nothing's underhanded, nothing's hidden, nothing's it's all out there. I talked at length about it down at the park with anybody who wanted to know or asked and some people I didn't even ask, you know, talked about the potential gap
and how we we could fill that gap. So, uh and it's it's that's what our financial advisor said. Yeah, this is what you do. Okay. But hopefully we won't have much of a gap if we the bids can come in a little bit low.
Uh and there's a lot of interest. So that that's good. The more interest the and the more we let everybody know there's a lot of interest that tends to drive the bids down. Yeah. So see where it goes. Hopefully we'll oh
timeline would be so in the in the ad it's May 31st completion um substantial completion punch list completion in September because there'll be some things along the way but it'll be able to be open. Um we're also going to offer
an alternate just to see if that in improves bids the bids an alternate for opening towards the end of July. So, we would have a month basically of it of it open. But if that improves the bids by quite a bit, it might be a sacrifice
that we have to make. I lost my first night of sleep or part of my first night of sleep about this last night. I got to thinking about it about 2 in the morning and I could not go back to sleep to it was like it was 3:30. You said the same thing about 3:30. I thought, geez, maybe I'll just get up and go on the
treadmill and then head to work. Mhm. But uh yeah, so there'll be some more sleepless nights between now and the 21st on the bid opening. Did you say a bit opening was at 2 2 p.m. on the 21st? Yep.
Right in here. And whoever is wants to be here is welcome to be here. But if we're going to have a quorum of the park board, then I'll need to know that ahead of time. And well, we'll have to have them. We'll have the the council will be there. It's a meeting. So I won't be here. I just posted it. You won't be here.
I'll be in front. Where are you heading to? Front neck. Front neck. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. I had to spring that on the It was either that or or I was thinking about calling a special park board meeting, but uh the reason we have to do it on the 23rd or
want to is because we want to be in the ground November 3rd um to get excavation completed before it freezes. Right. Yeah. And then of course winter will dictate a lot of how much gets done. Um, but I'm
just going with Burbach and what they're telling me. They build these pools. I don't. So, they're still saying, "Nope, we can we can do it. We can get it done." Okay, that's the pool update. All right. Any other questions?
I don't think so. I think we got to do whatever we can do to get this done. Well, another option, that's my opinion. Yeah. If the bids come in high, another option is going to be to go back to the voters and say, "Hey, we're going to have to go out this pool. We're going to have to do another $1.5 million because we got to cover the inflation for
backing up a year." Yeah, we got to get this done. This is How long have we tried to get this thing done? 15 years. I mean, yeah, it was my goodness, it's been a minute. I think Berbire was hired what, two years before I came,
something like that. So, it's time to get it to the finish line. whatever we need to do. It's just it's painful now. It's we got to get it done. Oh, and and fundraising wise, um the the um Donnie and Frank days will be
dedicated uh to the pool again. Um tickets. Oh, yeah. Tickets right here. I've got tickets, too. But you want these? These are lucky tickets. Do you sell low last or that one? Um,
and then there's some other ideas seems to be a little more again, so that's good. It's getting closer. So, it was they're pretty beat down uh with trying to fund raise and and seemingly only being at I mean, that's a lot of
money that was fundraised already. Um, and I'm hoping once things get going, it ramps up and we'll keep going out to the paper with some updates once we know we're going forward. Um, and also get out there with the citizens and say, "Hey, if if every citizen gave this
much, we'd be there to try and generate part of that. we're when those that are soliciting the bigger donations are um of course asking for a bigger donation because that's in retrospect that's what you do. you go to a big
company and say, "Hey, I need $500,000." You know, can you do $500,000? It's a great amenity for, you know, no. Well, what, you know, can you do 400? Rather than saying, "Well, what can you do?" Right? Um, we're also offering the, you know, what can you do? $10,000 a year over
five years. Because if we're going to do an intra fund loan, that all helps to lower the debt service that would be passed along to the levy. if we've got some of that money coming in incrementally over those number of years, in which case you pay it off
quicker. So, oh, and the 501c3, yep, the part uh the uh uh coverage festival has been very gracious and letting us use their their status, their 501c3 status. So, we're going to get people applying. I don't want too many people with that number,
though. So I told Brena, maybe we, you know, designate a couple of people to apply to Walmart, Quick, Target, all these places that need a 501c3. And if you can snag, you know, five or 10,000 from a bunch of those, then you're then you're whittling away, Shields, um, I
can't remember there's any of those bigger businesses, they all want a 501c3 and they they're all online. You just go out and fill it out and then, uh, so the committee is doing a great job. They're keeping on trying. So,
all right. No, I'm done. Are you sure? Are you thinking? It's fine. I can sit here. It's fine. I don't have to put the kids to bed tonight. So, Oh, no. I get to sit here and my husband gets to struggle with that. So,
uh, new business, uh, tree nursery. I don't exactly remember what that one was about, but I think Oh, I think we discussed, uh, starting over in the tree nursery. Is that kind of where we're in that last meeting we uh with that uh last spading job we did with those two
trees? That was kind of the last two viable out there. So, I've just been talking with Chris a little bit about it. We can uh selfperform, you know, the removal and everything with the city equipment. Uh the trees aren't big enough now. our payloader will pluck the stumps out
of there and stuff and we could go back to a clean slate if that's kind of what everybody's wanting to do or there's nothing viable there at all anymore. Not that can be moved. Everything's oversized now. We got to clean it up. We the last two we took were maxed. I mean they were and that's a 65 inch tree
spade. So that's about a 6 inch tree. So yeah, we got to clean it up. Yep. What was his name? Mark Barren would be very interested in helping out again if we were going to do that. He's called me frequently about that the last several years. Yeah. Just going to be varieties of what
we want to put back in and to what extent do we want to have. I mean we you know I think the street projects that's all correct me if I'm wrong but that's bid like replacement trees are all bid to contractors there so we won't need anything from there but it would be
kind of our replacements or whatever throughout. That's why I don't think we need a ton. No, we probably don't want to do a ton because the name, right? Right. So, yeah, little bit of thought. Maybe it's it's phases, you know, you do a certain number now and then two years later a certain number more and then
Yeah. And yeah, stage the age of them and stuff like that. So, yeah. And that's what kind of dollars are we talking on that? Yeah. Um, and like like I say, we could selfperform it with the city equipment, but I don't know exactly how that works. We
that have to be build back or Yeah, I would assume that would be parkboard somewhere amount of parkboard funds from somewhere. But maybe we can find out what what a cost might be. Yeah. To do what we want to do at least to start with. Yeah. And then have a line in them every year
for a few more trees in there. Right. And what kind, you know, and what kind you recommend too? If it's the same or something different or replacements or whatever. Yeah, we got to have a stock to think about
it. If we get bad storm coming through or something, we got to replace or keep the big ones. If one goes out to put another one in. Just a lot of park there. Yeah. As the treatments quit working.
We're going to lose a few of those along the way, I guess. Correct. You would definitely think there's some grant money in there somewhere for some trees or something there, too. I would think so. I know Mike is very passionate about that type of stuff, so I'd be surprised
if he doesn't have some up his sleeve already for something like that, right? Well, I can uh Yeah, I can cut the loose on it, too. looking for grants or grant people, especially if it's year-over-year type
kind of thing, a few donations just to seed money. Yep. So to speak, so to speak. Well, in in Rochester, they have the mayor's the mayor's grove, I think, and the
mayor donates a number of trees every year. Maybe we should talk to Todd. [Music] Sweet talk. We probably plant them then, too, right? All right. Uh, move on to park sign. Moving by the roundabout.
Oh, the monument. You guys that was busy. What? What? Moving. Replacing. I think at the last second we were kind of talking about what should be down here where people actually look at it. Yeah, that monument that's up there. Oh. Oh, that one up there.
Yeah, up by Quick Trip. Oh, no. I see. It was on the town talk. Someone had brought it up that said whatever it is, you can't even read it. Nobody ever stops. That's just no parking. You have to park a quick trip to walk out to see it, whatever. And they said whatever it
is, it should be someplace where you could see it. So, didn't shoe markers move these or who moved those? Cuz we moved these around out here. I'm not exactly sure who brought those up, but we can talk to Scott. Yeah. Do we know what that monument says? But
it's nice. Yeah, it says something about a stage coach trailer. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I know that's what I was gonna say. I'm the person that talked to me about it and that one or one down here about a stage coach
trail, but some of the information on it wasn't actually accurate is what he was telling me. Perfect. And let's see. I know it was it's kind of I don't think it was in that location anyway exactly. It might have been that area, but I think it's just moving it down here next to me.
Still got history, but it was um Wayne Anderson talked to me and um Dave Primure talked to me about it about moving that just as an idea because no access to it. Sure. Well, you know, Kevin Kish stopped in
probably in the spring and said that he had somebody that suggested that we should move that and they would be interested in possibly funding it. Oh, cool. And so I told them to come to a parkboard meeting and then they never came. So I don't know if somebody wants
to reach out to Kevin K and see if he still has that check. Yeah. Well, I don't think it wasn't him. He knows who it wasn't him. He knows a guy. He knew. Yeah, he knows a guy who knows. Say the person's name, but I'm not going to put their name up there because he
didn't come here and say it himself. So, but he kind of made it sound like he didn't really have time to come to the next meeting and he wasn't sure about July. And I'm sure, you know, people get busy. So, I'm sure he could have just forgot. But if I see him across the road, I'll go over ask them. Yeah.
Otherwise, otherwise, I know where I can find him for sure on Friday morning at Bridget. So yeah, I'll just have to pop in there. Yep. So if somebody wants to ask him about that, I even think before the funding it'd be important to find out what the meaning
of the monument is. And if it can't get to close to point of use or someplace that you know has that historical landmark that it go someplace on public property like out here by the Pioneer Trail or someplace close where we could put up additional signage or photos or
something kind of like we did with the covered bridge that says here's where it was from this decade to that decade. So if that monument is something to do with the old Deuke trail or something, we could put up an aerial photograph from that genre or something to say this is what it looked like and it was just on
the other side of Main Street if you but that way we wouldn't have to move it again. It wouldn't be in the right do right away or but I do think that that person who suggested it is is correct. It's really kind of wasted out there in the roundabout.
Sure. Sure. I read it when I was a kid. There used to be a picnic table up there in the olden days. Back before there was a roundabout. I grew up without roundabouts. So, I didn't know anything about roundabouts till I moved up here. So, in my defense, I still don't know about roundabouts
that much, but it's fine. I know how to get out of them. So, that's that's the important part. Okay. Um, so we'll just jump down to community roadside landscape partnership program. So, in your packets, the information
that I gathered about that, we kind of talked a little bit about wanting some uh can't remember who brought that up about the roundabouts being able they've seen some that have been uh yeah, that they'd like to potentially landscape that. So if you go to this um
site or whatever under the application some questions there about that um I can just so some basic information like me as a contact but then uh basically describe the location site project
state the goals and scope of your project and then state the public participation and coordination that you've done with other programs. examples like the DNR or wersheds um and then who will install and maintain the project and then you um write a local
government letter to them with letterhead or whatever and kind of just presenting your project to them because there is if you read through that there is funding where they will do that and we already currently maintain them the way it is. So, they're just kind of
looking for ideas on I mean, if you guys want to jump into that, maybe elaborate a little more and we can put something together to submit that application and it might and for visibility factors and this and that, it might get denied at step one, you know, just for the fact
that they don't want anything there or anything of a certain height or Right. Right. Is that really a park for decision? That's really not park land. That's right in the middle of the road. That's more of a city issue or a DOT issue,
isn't it? Might not even be city cuz that's a town. I don't know. Right. It's kind of that state highway, county highway, DOTL kind of thing. But I love the idea of making
it stand out and be something different. I just don't know that they need the parks permission to do it. But it would probably be the right avenue to facilitate the request maybe because we've done other things like that like you're talking about in the park. Yeah. Or even if you I mean if you're
looking at the application or whatever and you you come up with something maybe a little more articulate than I can or whatever on the scope of the project, you know, or what you're what what you see or what you envision being there or whatever and then we can wonder if we can carry the ball however that needs
to be. Wonder if they give us some suggestions, you know. I don't know. But you gota it sounds like you got to apply and they kind of look into what your request is and stuff. I'd like to say could you guys come out and like take a look and
tell us what you think, you know? Yeah, it sounds it's kind of a process and they have a southeast Minnesota representative for our area for that and then they decide whether to initiate the landscape crew or not or you know it's kind of multi-step process,
right? We can talk to Kevin guys. Okay. Yeah, I think it'd be cool. Why Why leave them the way they are? I mean, make them cool, right? I know. I was always told we couldn't do anything.
Yeah. Other than they hand us the maintenance when they're done with the project. Would this also with the area that we're talking about moving that plaque out of would this qualify for that? It's right off.
Yeah. As part of that is part of that still mind. Some are, some mind. I'd have to look at the map on that. There was some turn back there. I was going to say I think that little area is definitely still considered the park. Correct. Yep. That section and it's far enough
away from the roadway that it was out of the basement or whatever. Put some plants in there to make it a little something to look at. I think and the the school is going to take out half of that sign up there too.
They wanted to put it down by the soft fields the half of the state championship. [Music] Yeah, cool stuff. Let's keep going with that, right? Yeah. Maybe we can get flowers into that. Say
his roda. We could have other birds to that. Yeah, they're going to they're going to love maintaining all that. Once these girls plant a American flag in their do they
then somebody will drive right through it. I was going to say if we can't build in a flood zone, you shouldn't be building anything in the roundabout [Music] danger zone. [Music]
tax over top. All right, we'll move on to uh park capital planning. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I've been talking about this for a long time and I think it's time we get going um leading into next year. You know, we talked about uh well, hopefully
I don't we'll see where we're at finishing everything else up here. uh haven't heard on the grant yet for the uh Frisbee golf, but um I know that there's a desire to look at the uh pickle ball courts and um
hockey walls permanent down there, that type of stuff. But I I think it'd be good to take a 10-year look. And we we found that out too when we were applying for the campground grant that um it's good to have a capital plan and then you start checking things off and say, you know, this was our long-term capital
planning over 10 years. We've already done this, this, and this. You know, we need help with this and and the grant people like that because they've got a plan. Um so what I'm thinking is a couple of uh park board members uh when we just sit down with me and uh
start brainstorming. Well, I mean, anything from the park board, many of the members, you know, bring it up, but then the actual planning or initial planning, just a few of us, otherwise it gets to be all over the place, right? Um, but I was thinking two members rather than just one um from the park
board, but at some point it'd be nice to appoint a couple who are interested. Well, there's two people missing just right there. Can I do it next time? We really like to volunt the people that aren't at the meetings, don't we? All in favor. How much of that did you do? I was gone
for like three meetings. How much did you sign me up for? Exactly. So, they'll teach you not to miss, right? Guess I can't have any more babies. That's what happened. There you go. All right.
Someone that's interested in doing not appointed because it'll be some work. We think about it and do a next meeting. Yeah, we have the other two here for sure. Yeah. Otherwise, they're getting volunte. No. And I'd be interested in doing that,
Brian. I would. Absolutely. I've done that kind of stuff in my day job as they say. So, sure. Pretty familiar with that kind of process. Yeah. And you know, and it can be as rigid as we want it to be. You know, there are there always going to be some things that come up and think, "Oh,
cool. Would you look at that?" But it would be a conscious shifting of projects around that rather than, you know, this came up. Oh, let's do that. Or this may Yeah. It give us more of a strategic like road map on where we want to go. All good things. I mean, we've kind of
had that looser list before of priorities and whatnot, but I think we could be a lot tighter on that actual numbers and dates, you know, in the budget while as well. Maybe just like the capital equipment schedule
things can shift and move on or our capital planning we did with the council, you know, we can shift projects in and out of that based on, you know, the needs at the time. Uh but it does provide a a template for spending, you know,
6% levy increase to try and handle all that stuff and unless you throw in pool bonding, that type of stuff. But with the park board too, then we can we can you know what the budget is and we know what it is from year to year and how it grows
and these projects will fit in there based on years. It'll be fun. Kind of. No, it'll be fun. It'll be good good to get it done. It might not be fun getting there, but it's a lot of work, but but it's something we need to do uh for many reasons, including writing grants, too.
It's in place, then we have much better chance for for grants, which we're going to need probably something to help us with that road. When we do that in four years after we build the trestle, then we want to do the road. Yeah.
Yeah. All right. Uh then next is discuss current board member terms. Okay. So as you can see, don't test Miranda on the date. Don't question her. Don't test it.
After thorough review of the last 300 years of records from the secret notebook with the binder. Um, correct. So, Mary and Troy, their
second terms will end at the end of this year. So, we'll need two new members. I know in the past um done the website, Facebook and the newspaper.
I word of mouth works the best. Yes. So, if you guys know people that does work the best. I don't feel like spending the money on the newspaper article really has been
very fruitful in the past. Um I feel like most of the things that I get they've seen from the website or on Facebook and of course word of mouth. But so I would recommend not spending the money right away. Maybe if you go a few
months and you don't get anybody that right shows interest then maybe spend the money because it's quite it's quite expensive actually. What does it cost Miranda? I think it's like $75 a week. Yeah. No. Yeah.
That's like best if you go out and regroup. Talk to people. Yeah. Known that there's openings. Yep. And when you're talking to him too, there's planning commission. Yeah. In the park board and there's EDA. Honestly, every
choices, every board has openings right now. So if you if you are married, want to hop over to another board. You sure can. That's a great idea board from EDA.
Unfortunately, EDA, they are losing two members to moving out of town. And who's the other one? Um, Connie and Connie. Tina. Tina. I don't know where the planning people are. I don't go to those meetings, so
I'm not sure. Yeah, that's what I got for them. We just wait really to just or you can just put it on Facebook or whatever and we're just going to skip paying. Yep. And then if I if I get any between now and next
meeting, I'll put them on so you guys could recommend them to council before January, but they would know that they wouldn't start until January, right? Okay, that works. Facebook and do the push, I suppose. Yep. Yep. the cell phone notification.
I'll do that, too. I wonder what people look at the bullet for some time. I don't know. Something out there, too. Just stick it up. Depends on if it's at the grocery store or the BFW. I guess
the window here, the library, and the post office. Oh, but yeah, we could put at the BFW. Very clean subway entry. That's the only one I ever look at because it's right when you walk in.
You can't miss it. All right. Uh, no reports. You want to see it? I can't entertain anything. Troy, do you want to see if Judy had anything in particular? Yes. Okay. You can ask Donnie too.
Is she Judy? Are you there? She is muted. We are. Yeah. Did you want to bring something up? No. No. Okay. Tuning in. Cool. Cool.
All right. Well, that we can entertain something. Troy, I'll make a motion to dismiss. Dismiss. I'll second. We got a motion and a second to adjurnn. All in favor? I oppose.
Car. All right. Anybody want the winning tickets? I got him here.
