this conference will now be recorded all right I'm going to go ahead and call the meeting to order uh go ahead and start with uh approving the agenda from the July 1 meeting nope agenda for today's meeting
oh agenda for today's meeting my bad it's going really good already gu the only addition is that I added a line we need to reschedule this September meeting because it falls on the holiday again yep I'll move to approve with the
additional addition of rescheduling September meeting second all right I have a motion in a second all in favor all oppose carried okay now let's look at the am minutes from July 1 to be approved
I'm not here yeah she's she's very intelligent I to approve the minutes from Monday July first got a motion in a second all in favor oppose carried uh now let's look at accounts
payable the one in the packet good or is that another sheet over there that it that's just the sheet that needs to be signed so that's the same as so yep the one in the pck it is good is blades load of my your
blades a lot more oh okay the emerald ashb treatment I'm assuming those are still the ones down the main Park Drive that we're treating yes yep yep they're looking good still we were just talking about that today on how many people sit out there during
lunch hour under those trees they're out there right now when I P up still out there yeah y maybe they're napping out there I don't know should walk by and see I'll make a motion to approve a accounts payable I know we should know it's kind of Hefty because we of the burbach yeah
I was seen that was mention that so we have not paid burbach the whole time up until now so this is the the whatever phases of the contract up until one because not because we didn't just pay they never invoiced us oh they
finally realiz so so it was a approved expenditure it just never came up everything under that 44410 is pool related or is that what that account is that
bottom of the first page yep yep sorry yep so if it starts with a 6:15 that's pool if it starts with a 225 that's Park and so does this meet does this you know how they had ask us that the park budget and the pool budget are in two
separate budget items is that us or is that the city council that they wanted the two that they were requesting or you know what I mean oh here right here when they were here and they asked us it was expressed at the park budget
and the pool budget no no so that was uh they were making an argument that we were spending the uh pool money on the campground yes and we said well no those are different dollars better suited to build a new
pool instead of the campground so to prove that they're two different monies is that in the City Council budget or is that somewhere in our budget here so that we can prove that to them y they're two completely separate departments so that's what the 615 and the 225 are so
we can prove that correct okay all right so what is the bathroom design was from that was the design from TR mentions for the bathroom for the campground that's a 225
account so that's a park for the bathroom down there the bathroom yep got instead to clarify that so 35 just to draw the design that's it just the design it's pretty
reasonable yep what we needed to turn in for MP building officials now that I'm looking at this I think the last Minnesota Energy one I think I just opened up a check today for $458 back from them so I think that's
coming back to us cuz we shut that off probably right around the time the check was written June 21st so we got a little bit back yep 615 so that's the pool okay I'll make a motion to
approve we have a motion and a second to approve accounts payable all in favor I I oppose carried um I don't think we have public comment so we can skip that all right we'll jump right to
unfinished business uh 20 2025 preliminary budget approval I don't think we got any questions over the month Kim didn't send me anything so it has remained unchanged since the first time
it was presented so for for e any final questions or comments for us no it's just a lot to to digest so the budgeted budgeted numbers
are in bold and then the actuals are obviously in in fine print so yeah it's proposed versus right budgeted yeah yep the taxes the levy part of it went up about 6.4
4% current taxes the bolded is what we budgeted for and then the regular print is what we actually spent for the 24 budget if I'm seeing this correctly all the things for like the pool between swimming l vending
sales lessons all that stuff like there's a substantial amount that we had intended on receiving for that so if you add those up they're over $32,000 we planned on making from the pool being open this year but that's no longer there yeah memberships vending sales
lessons pool parties stuff yeah all that stuff yep yep we also don't have any expenditures I mean other than and that's what I was going to ask is what do we usually spend well you we bring in the
$91,000 on top of what we make with everything else to run the pool so we can look back at uh [Music] where are the pool expeditors anyway admin oh there's at 98,000 yeah
98550 so 100 grand oh actually expenditure is 1317 right about the rest of that stuff there that's what was planned that was budgeted yep yep but without that
$30,000 worth of Revenue coming in from those items down that I had mentioned before it's going to be much closer to what we're budgeting for 25 which is under 93,000 probably 92548 which is just the tax and interest earnings and that's being moved to
swimming pool restricted correct stays in the 615 account we goes to the 616 the restricted I think we're going to use that for possibly tearing the building down um if if it doesn't pass um what's that I think she maybe
already did move it because that same amount is in 616 yeah I've seen that it's under transfer in yeah that's why it's an expenditure okay and the same amount is down restricted basically it's a savings
account and the restricted fund is still just that it's going straight towards whatever needs are for the pool or for no demolition reconstruction whatever y depending on what happens with the vote or two votes or whatever it
takes then the the park board still rains control so so we need to vote on this tonight right yes right because it needs to go to September yeah I mean you could have one more meeting but that meeting is going to move um I guess it all depends
on when you reschedule your September meeting for Council for the September 18th is it 18th council meeting for approval of the the preliminary budget I don't see any major
changes that I would make it looks pretty solid I mean without digging into it for a couple hours and having a debate with you over it it seems pretty solid really most things increase by 3% that's kind of how how we did the budget across the board and then we made
adjustments except for we infused a few more dollars in from the taxes at at the six and a 6.4% up there so just to try and get some more going towards the Park yeah I make a motion that we
approve the preliminary budget second right we have a motion in a second to approve the 2025 preliminary budget all in favor I oppose carried all right priority list project
update so on the list yeah I don't um I've got a congressionally directed spending request in on The Trestle Bridge of aund I or no a million 1.4 million I think is
what we asked for uh we did not make it onto the the house one I don't think still waiting to hear on the Senate bill um and they may not give us that much if we do make it on there but hey anything
we'll take anything towards the castle so once we get that moving then we'll need to look at the park board or the Park Road um after we've had all the heavy equipment down in there to to replace the Trestle and The Trestle has always been
part of the park board no it's not part of the park board the parkboard road the Park Road is dependent on us getting The Trestle done okay we still have to discuss the parks and trails concept I've kind of left that alone for a few meetings with all the pool stuff and everything else going on but um so
theoretically eventually we may look to move all the the trail dollars and and all of that under the park board and call it parks and trails but for now it's separate Andy the campground going in through the
existing kind of like parking lot for the swimming pool Mike's got that on the plans is that something that could alleviate the need to use the Park Road for that equipment could that go in through there it's pretty big equipment going
down to the where those people live what's that called res residential area thank you emergency by my yep right right exactly
probably not this grael yep it's not a not a 10 ton too tight back there and they'd have to drive on the trail to get down the hill but good idea yeah yeah so is that Escape Route supposed to be so that they can pull their trailers out or
is that supposed to be just so that they can drive their cars out and get out no for the trailers it fls they have access so they can pull the trailers over it it'll be g
g the time right Mike it'll be gated off yeah I thought that could expedite potentially the Park Road if we wanted to speed that up need money for it too they're probably gonna go both both ways yeah there's a butman on both sides
and so then depending on what kind of bridge you know they're gonna probably maybe crane something in there oh my Lord put it in place maybe they need a helicopter to drop it in there did they redo the trail on the other side of the Trestle we did
not the same reason plus dollar as well we use most of the trail dollars for what we did in the park campg ground showers bathroom seasonal camp site Mike's neck deep in that one design is done it looks like just
waiting for Sho Mark we probably won't get the bathroom done till spring we're still planning on doing the okay Replacements have to remind me is that part of the grant
[Music] assume rep yeah and as part of the grant we're not going to spend nearly fact I think they still have the school interested in going they
$500 y because we can only buy a certain size under the grand we can't go get big trees dugouts so I can talk about that one y so we were out there a week and a half ago and started digging with shoe marer um they were using their vacuum
system but they ran into a bunch of rocks and things that were plugging up their vacuum system so they would prefer to use their augur to dig that out for the majority of it and then back flush it with their vacuum system um but their augur won't fit in between the fence and
the concrete the way we had it plus there was a big huge youth baseball tournament the weekend that we were about to dig the holes and try and get those inspected so for safety reasons we post postponed it and then this last weekend was the year end softball tournament so we postponed it again for
two weekends so I just spoke with Todd today he said as soon as we can get the fence pulled back which is just a couple hours it's just a few little nuts and bolts that hold the the fence to the post we just got to peel it back for that first 24 feet that's there by each
one of them they'll come in with their augur they'll dig that out they'll back flush it and get all the holes all filled out and in their thing talk to uh Fred rash and some other volunteers have volunteered to help because we're kind of losing a little bit of the momentum
with the youth baseball program it's The Season's now over now everybody's back to school shopping and basketball and stuff like that so Fred and a bunch of volunteers have uh stepped up and said they'd be willing to help with that as soon as we get that going so as soon as
the the poles are removed the holes are dug Fred and crew are going to come in and start helping tip some poles and get things all lined up so I suspect we'll be making some good progress here before the next meeting we may even have them completely done we'll see how optimistic I am
awesome Yep probably the same crew that volunteer to do a lot of the work for the bathroom up by the shelter I'm guessing he's got a breakfast club that gets together and talks about things they need to do to stay off the honeydew list
so geriatric crew [Music] what else is on here skate park that's done right y yeah that's done and pool the pool we all know about the pool I can talk about the pool we more about that next week right we will know yes by
uh August I will know quite a bit by time po close 8 9:30 9:30 I'll probably know quite a bit live posted on the town talk or where we can't post them officially until we
until the county does but they're usually pretty quick I bet if you refreshed their page yeah because if we close out quick here which we should it's not like the general election it won't take as long hopefully um and we've got our our star uh election judge
still with us for that one Bob's or two star oh yeah the two stars we'll have one for the other one but it gets kind of hard for one to guide everybody on both sides but no um you know usually we get down to the
courthouse by I don't know 9:30 10:30 10:30 at the latest and then if we're if we're ahead we can get through there pretty quick if we're not then we're gonna wait for quite a while and might be midnight or 12:30 before 1:00 before
it's posted Bo we'll we'll maybe know some things yeah we can't go out with it because it's County's job to verify everything so yeah that's
right wanted to know about donating a grain gril that is portable and it's taking up Stace garage you want to donate skate park however you wanted to make sure that it would not violate any
of the City Rules I asked I asked it I asked them to send some pictures I have and the other thing is I don't know if we want something
that's that was just our just like that one that's out there right now that square piece of tubing that's about 68 inches up off the ground or whatever that they just slide across grind yeah so if it does have a way to Anchor it with like some
cement anchors or something that we could drill down into the concrete and anchor it it'd be something to consider if there's enough open space to add it out there how big was it long yeah that matter too if it was 6
foot or eight right yeah get more data yeah see find out my next meeting yeah all right is that it for the priority list all right we'll move on to the East
Park tree removal [Music] cheap when we were out there there's another maple tree that's close to the sign on these Park shape too so two trees removed
there was a stump in there that never got ground out the last one we gr all the ston to make sure less than 2000 I yeah we're we're planning on cleaning up that okay so do we have to have a motion on
that to approve it y I'll make a motion to approve it I'll second all right we have a motion in a second to approve the East Park tree removal all in favor I I oppos
carried all right uh new business Campground rules discussion um I received the email that I included in there from um Judy Hol Donnie's wife
the camp gr Hof's wife she just kind of asked that we consider revisiting the rules again this year [Music] rules yeah these are pulled from something else they
[Music] are yep that wouldn't hurt is she thinking that this template is a good way to go versus what we have now or what is her thought she must be she kind of included the things that she
was seeing in there that she liked I guess and she looks like she wants to sell fire wood too yeah it might be helpful if she gives us some more information or comes to the meeting yeah we ask question
absolutely I could have her and Donnie come to the next one or yeah next couple because now we're getting out of the Season soon so they could probably pick any of the ones right something else know about the
campground rules um Larry Hol had approached me we've observed some people coming in and just dumping gray water and different things he wanted to know if there should be some sort of service charge for the campers versus the people
who are not part of the campground is that something that we discuss and that's with the campground signs on the highways people look for that yep and there's nothing to say that we
can correct and it's kind of tribal knowledge if nobody's there and it's not really monitored and you know Donnie doesn't know who stayed there who has Larry brought up a point like people even from H crick or some place know that oh on my way through I'll just swing into Z bro and I'll just quick drop it there because nobody monitors he
thought that if Donnie could monitor the people who are there and say they get it for free but anybody else who comes in maybe there's a charge for dumping the water doing something that he said it might deter people from doing that like absolutely because he talked about it's
just more stuff going through our treatment he says it's all sorts of it could be anything from cattle trailers from the auction to just Al just anybody and everybody it's like we don't want that but hopefully Donnie can keep a better eye on that it isn't as out of
control as they made it sound I wonder or if you could make it just available to Residents in Zona like if you're a resident you're allowed to dump your trailer there if you're using the camp I just think if you're a registered camper you get it as part of your camping fee if
not then there's a fee for coming in and dumping dumping there you got back from I'm just kiding usually residents that live here what do they ask is there a charge
they just ask if it's down there I yep it's down there yeah yes it is it's there well there it is you can use it get you know many calls a week it's maybe once a
month that I get a call but I feel like it's usually somebody that lives here that calls so we say it's to be for campus only and then you can't use it or you have to pay to use it how do we restrict it when there's when Donnie isn't down
there that would be the tough part do we put a fence around it and they have to have a key or code usually well and that's honestly what one of Larry's suggestion was is like a donation box that Donnie could go empty out you know every night or something
but we know well the honor System goes and then it's just another point of vandalism especially if people think there's cash in that box right yeah that thing's GNA be cracked open like an Easter egg all the time constantly I think Don Donnie or his designated would
have to monitor that but a little sign by there that says Campground use only or check with Camp office or something for a fee or something we could put up a little sign that something would deter the least only sign would allow us to
when we do see it to say hey Y correct no otherwise it just continues to run out of control so can we see have a copy of the our current rules for the next meeting and compare them you want we should
probably invite Judy or Donnie to to come too y send that out to everybody beforehand thinkable from the last time that we did
this these to everybody like spread away then do a little comparison and then y have questions ready and the sale of the wood I'm kind of curious on who's supposed to be providing the
wood email she said that something about venders you could I don't just have to find a vendor to supply the wood right so Donnie could sell it but as long as the vendor could Supply it
okay and then in the notes the revised rulle she put in there too about firewood may not be brought to the campground but she puts in there when the new division of the campground is done so I don't know if she's thinking about having
it up there somewhere in the semi-permanent or seasonal section I don't know yeah not sure just says firewood May brought into the campground you're not supposed to be moving firewood know that ashor is
everywhere though they don't really restricted anyway anymore well it's like if you go to a state parking Camp I don't know if you guys have done that but you walk up to the shed and you grab a bundle of wood and it's all free will and you get on your phone and there's an app and you just go boom you're done and
it charges you so I mean I don't know if we have to get that high-tech but it could be something like you know that it's all the bundles right there I'm sure somebody would readily take up that business to provide it to us right y well she's even stating that Donnie would deliver it so maybe they just keep
the Rick right there and easy I think that'd be easy enough to review and be prepared to discuss at the next meeting and if we're I'm really not comfortable putting a waiver of liability on here unless it's run by Matt or something for the verbiage and
all that property is privately owned well not necessarily no yeah I'm not opposed to a a waiver of liability no not at all but needs to be reviewed all right so the next thing on the agenda is
the sale of pool equipment so we we have some interest from other than this alties um some of the items at the pool most of them are the reason they're
asking is because they're older pools like the heaters pool 25 30 years old now one amingo was interested in them there was some of the sand filters
and the sand filters are probably about the same vage they don't they're not worth much to anybody except somebody who's got an own so The Umbrellas that's another one
that The Umbrellas are there they do not they're not operational now because the crank or the mechanisms got locked up on them crank them so last year I just left them up but they if we get into the new pool my
view was that we had to get a stationary we can't have anything mechanical for the Ys and there those parts they $340 a piece for those M so they're expensive and we probably bought a half a
do think City just need some direction on power to I think actually came over and got the chlorine P there's Busters on them so that's all great now but I mean they're
willing to buy it but I just need some and they know the condition of this stuff that it's they still I mean they would they want them more for parts I think
Parts hard to get some of the stuff yeah that stuff is getting to be older and it's not worth the whole lot I mean I I don't know if you have make an offer and then present it
I put it on public auction I don't think you're not going to get anything on then you're going to pay for them to sell it for you we aren't violating anything if we just say please make what's your best to
offer n it's 25y old equipment that theoretically we would just demo with the building ifse other we have just tell them to make a donation to the pool fund yeah yeah that's what I
was thinking is if we're going to be if they want the stuff and they're willing to give us some money for some of this stuff I say just yeah throw it in the pool fund and we could put that towards that now it's the best marketing time for that stuff too because as you pointed out we got all the publicity
that it's closing and it's right so for those people to seek us out perfect time to say yep come get it yeah one Mingo pool I think has just turned 50 so it's kind of the same V vintage it's yeah it's sinking and it's
losing water it's got water running in it continuously the equipment that some of it matches Island none of that stuff would work for correct Neil's got one in Canon Falls
that's about the same vintage too actually I'll make a motion that we just ask them to make a donation to the pool fund for the equipment they want all right we have a motion in a second for the pools to make a donation into the pool fund for the parts that we are
no longer using all in favor I opposed carried uh rescheduling the September meeting because it is Labor Day sth a consideration skipping a
meeting I don't think we should skip the meeting right after the pool vote that's true I agree yeah yes so we should make it on the 13th so we're all here and present September 13th that's the day of the
vote it's August 13th right want no I would expect all of us to be here to vote that day we can have a little hdle in the corner for our meeting 1 a when we get back from yeah yeah do we just want to push it out to
the next Monday or theth the nth I don't think I have any issues with that that should be fine so can I do a zoom or just is it okay can I call in or something yeah or
yeah we just need three of us here don't we vote though [Music] yeah but if you have anything that you want to comment you can send it in to me okay and you can watch the video back or if you want to attend you can you got the two option
perfect um okay what were we looking at September the 9th the next Monday yeah there's nothing scheduled to be in the chambers here so it should be okay do we need a motion for that yes I'll make a motion to move the
September meeting to the 9th I'll second your motion we have a motion in a second to move the September meeting to September 9th which is the following Monday all in favor oppos
carried then we have the pool committee booth at the the good Hue County Fair volunteers sign up yes Mike no he is he actually and that reminds me I did get

that too tear down so so are the members of the committee signing up um well Meg mostly okay Cara and then Kathy SC yeah has sign she signed up for three of them I just told Meg we need
someone there with us we're not going to be at that table not able to advocate for the vote you know we need somebody with us so so we really got all of ours covered unless anybody wants my shift one or two of my
shifts so and can you go over exactly what we can and can't say I we can't advocate for the vote I just got an email it's basically the FAQ yep I sent you one too oh okay I just sent the fa the brochure and then the FAQ the facts and questions okay it's all on there and
then your knowledge of the process because I think you've been on this longer than I have haven't you you were here were you on the Park Board before I came no I don't think so I have no idea that but I know it was going it was going on before well yeah
he was I know before but you guys were like a month you guys were like a month different or was that Mike schy that was oh yeah they came when I was here but I think so anyway whatever facts you know about when it started because I don't have all
that I kind of know but you know how it started when it started that it's been years and years of talking about this and yeah we knew it was coming and parkboard authorized money to keep it going another three four years um and it's just
time a pass inspection we can't have a pool right no okay and did we get and one of the things is it would have been like $3 million to renovate the existing facilities to make it last for two more
years well to make it last for not not the 50 years that this one did for sure that's one of the big ones when people say well why' you just renovate it there was a study done and it was I think it was close to $3 million back when they did the study I
think Pap was yeah yeah and do we have the the um brochures and stuff yep good okay yep they will all be out there and then oh one thing we do have and and we will not be in charge of this but we have the
voter list the registered voter list and the committee is going to be talking to whoever wants to talk and they'll get a name and and they'll ask hey how you what are you thinking here and trying to get a kind of a map of their last couple
of days of of their part of advocating for the vote and then you'll have the tax statement um showing the different tax amounts for the different house valuations that'll be at the table as
well okay did come I don't think seen that oh we haven't gotten that um yeah we had it here once didn't we I hope I think once yeah um before you were I want to say $300,000
house was 12 bucks a month or I can't remember something similar the number 17 is sticking in my head for some reason and I don't I don't that might have been a $400,000 house that might have I think 300 was 12 bucks a month for 20 years
just like a couple trips to um McDonald's yeah is what we likened it to for a standard house yeah and we can send that out to everybody too get that back out to everybody and that just kind of puts it in perspective right yep and that's the way that the
committee will well I me we can say that because that's what it is it's but let the committee say that but we can ask pizzas or one pizza to come out and vote but we can't just say you got to vote for the pool right right yeah I would avoid any voting okay no vote word don't
use no vote word I would just provide facts say this is how it started it started years ago you know five five and a half years ago whatever it was and we can't have our floaties on and all of those things no no not at the polling Booth we can't that's what I thinking
about at the polling Booth I really want to dig out goles that would be considered promotional for something that's on the ballot we'll have goggles out there allely old goggles are there pool toys that were left at the
pool those baskets we should have put the dump T there I can wear that it's like this tall there wear whatever that's not that's not advocating no butor my
football team that is all I'm doing because it's got a big dolphin logo on the side so there there was discussion about making stickers I don't think that ever happened you know something especially for tomorrow night just something to hand out I don't think if we would have had the parade before that
would have been something that we could have handed out at the parade would have been great a float with a pool or whatever but that's too late be no yeah what that will be will be a uh that'll be a fundraising float if it
passes we'll know and then they'll work on getting something in the parade about Po and and the fundraising effort and then we can be more involved so then you can be on there with your fan it says make the pool great
again there you [Laughter] go now we're starting to see people drive out could come up with some little cliche pool shirts though or something though yeah we could thanks for making a
big splash splash into a new pool oh I can get some water guns oh I'm too many ideas running through my brain now you have to look at the rules ofers and just start running around people to donate not hate us I think Meg have
balloons out there tomorrow to spiff it up y be good water balloons we had balloons last time it's going to be cold yeah it's at least we won't be roasting in that building out there it's usually so hot in that commercial building it's the building right next to the chees CDs oh yeah and the the Lion's
Club trailer right in that area across from the tractors smell good y that smell really good I'll probably be P bar while I'm sitting there what did what were these that's
the one that um somebody needs to sign so I suppose Kayla will have to sign it I have just signed my life away now just saying that you approved the account what they City administrator do you want me
to put the date on there8 motion to adjourn I make a motion to adjourn all in favor we have a motion a second and a third to adjourn there we go right
