comfortable with it okay thank you in progress and then you can't really see it very well but along the uh um what would be the second floor we've got a pre-cast holoc cor plank the common flooring

then we've got a waterproofing product that actually sprays on toate windows are going in when the the waterproofing should be happening on we'll start on the backside probably in the next week and a half something like that we do want to get the um the enclosure up so we've got some more scaffolding to do on that back side and then some poly in order to get some heat back there um we need to have temps above 20 degrees to get the waterproofing on okay for the manufacturer so it was nice to see the cold weather that nobody was there and it was nice to see people were there Saturday working yeah we've been yeah we've been trying to make every opportunity to be there when we can um they do the contractors do have criteria yes they do and it's very understandable um you said you had the conting

thank you all right no public hearings on to the consent agenda I'll make a motion to approve the agenda the consent agenda all right we have a motion from council member s I'll second that a second from council member mcnight all in favor I I opposed motion carries nothing for unfinished business moving on to new business the 2019 Street Improvement project Mr lannis well good evening hopefully this is g to be a short one on my end here so I'm just here to talk to you about the 2019 Improvement project and uh where we are in the process and and some next steps for you to consider of course uh we've just got a slide you've seen many times here just about the project uh it's roadway facilities pedestrian facilities uh infrastructure uh sewer and water uh for those who haven't seen this it's broken up into the four groups dietr Drive in kiry Hill Elm Drive and uh Street alley Casey to Broadway Sunny Ridge Drive and lywood Spring Creek Drive Trail so all things you've seen before and the the big item is is where are we in the process A lot's been done on the project to date you can see what's been completed we've had uh studies approved authorized final plans and specifications held the public hearing of course many comments came from that and in which case a work plan was developed to try and address comments and look at them in in detail for best uh best ways to respond of course and then uh We've uh staff work plan was uh presented in a work session uh in in uh in a effort to inform on how we're responding to those comments and then uh of course from that point another Resident notice has been mailed and an open house was held on January 31st so a lot of steps in this process have have occurred to bring us to this point here we are now at the point of receiving uh plans and specifications and uh authorizing the advertisement to bid the project so uh that's really what's in front of you tonight there's only a few few major next steps here of course bidding the project and constructing so we're getting close to the end so this is a big one what I'm going to talk to you a little bit about is is the work plan of course just as a refresher and and uh what we heard at the open house so this uh doesn't come out formatted very well it looks better in my presentation and what's up on the screen there's but uh We've we talked a lot about the resident costs of course it was confirmed that the assessment amount could be reduced and that uh that is of course what we're proceeding with at this point for assumed assessments so that was a big big element that was uh discussed Street widths we we confirmed a number of Street widths and ended up modifying Elm Drive to 26 feet uh sidewalks we talked a lot about sidewalks uh and and ended up with a set of plans with a three- foot Boulevard and a 5- foot sidewalk for uh for various reasons uh discussed and evaluated and prior work sessions here um and then of of course we've got some uh traffic coming at the street alley for truck traffic so those are all things that have been been reviewed as a response to comments uh at the public hearing and the residents have been informed through a mailing and the open house on January 31st was as far as we were concerned favorable in terms of the comments received were were geared geared more towards the the direct responses to construction activities that tree removals there's some certain comments on curb locations and such I've outlined them in the memo and I think i' probably defer to questions from the council if you had any on what was presented but that was somewhat of a narrative of what we heard at the open house so was a little different feeling at the the last one so that is why I feel we're at the point here where the council can consider receiving the plans and specs as you know you don't have the full documents attached but you've got the title sheet and the cover sheet of of the information that uh contains a lot of details on all the things that we've been talking about so far on this project so um at this point I would uh turn it over to some you know questions that uh you might have but otherwise our recommendation would be to receive the plans and authorize ad for bid great um um so at this time I'd like to open it up to public comments if anybody has any comments questions please come up um to the microphone state your name and address and we'll go from there um Michael IM Keys 703 KY Hill Drive um so my house will be impacted by the sidewalks um right in front could you explain the 3ot boulevard 5 foot sidewalk is does that leave space between the curb in the sidewalk for like grass or are we going to go directly to the sidewalk to the curb yeah it leaves a minimum Boulevard uh three feet of of grass between the lock and the curb the three feet is considered somewhat of a minimum as certainly a larger Boulevard is desired uh four or five feet is often typical but 3et is considered the minimum standard sufficient for for signage and and Turf and uh and basically snow snow removal have did we consider moving it directly to the curb to reduce the encroachment on people's properties um I know my father is on the city council for Jordan and they move to do that for snow removal easier easier snow removal it encroach Less on people's properties and that uh grass is really difficult to maintain with I with um salt and stuff sure uh as you know this has been talked about a great deal the question being the the Boulevard and they're pulling up uh the PowerPoint that was shown at the work session um yeah I mean our our recommendation is is maintained as is as the need for a Boulevard is based on a place for the snow to be stockpiled and you know certainly for signage and and three foots kind of a minimum for uh turf turf establishment so and plus a a sidewalk on the back of curb here you get into some challenges with doors opening into the actual walking route and such so the the rationale for the for the boulevard is maintained with uh setbacks being reviewed in the prior work session and we found that the the set setbacks were sufficient uh support supp to this 8ot 8ot uh section so the total setbacks will still be 11 ft that I haven't been to something since the original open or um public comment sure sure do I have control okay all right well I'm gonna I'm going to address the the council as far as the refresher on this as far as what's been reved reviewed before so this goes back to some of the things we talked about on on this topic because yes that that topic was brought up as far as whether or not we'd want to bring up a the sidewalk right up against the back of curb this is a picture of oh this is a picture of this standard uh standard Boulevard this is more of your ideal snow storage scenario this is going to be more than your threefoot uh this is going to be kind of a minimal example here where you know there certainly isn't sufficient area for for snow um and that's minimal for signage you can see the signage actually overhangs on that uh that Boulevard how wide is that one uh that one that one I I didn't measure that but that's that's not even three feet I was going to say that doesn't even look like three feet yeah so you're referring to the setbacks so here's what was looked at here from other neighborhoods in the area Third Street you've got a average setback of what 26 feet or at least this this is one that was measured um another neighborhood here the setback from the distance to the face of the home was 25 ft uh on kers Hill the the existing portion of the development it was 29 feet from the back of back of walk to the face of the house now this is the uh development in in question that's currently being designed here you have a setback from the sidewalk to the face of the House of 35 ft 34t and 35 ft uh along that stretch that's you know 5 to fet greater than what's typical in in some of the other developments in this in this uh area in the city so it was really found that the the idea that the sidewalk was encroaching so close to the house it was unnatural was was somewhat discounted that this is more of an average more of a norm in fact it's it's it's well well above the norm and so we looked at it as more is as the sidewalk section with three- foot Boulevard 5 foot walk is that really appropriate to continue as a standard it was certainly not setbacks that were driving the issue as to whether or not this was reasonable it was comes down to just the the basic premise of is the standard appropriate to adhere to and we found that it was so that is that's the background to it thank you any other comments questions anybody hey hi H kayy Swanson I'm at 77 kill Drive um same thing as Michael so I don't know if it really has any relevance but I guess driving around today Sixth Street from what I could tell as well as the downtown you know they they don't look like they have a curb you guys know what about Sixth Street Sixth Street as well as downtown and Fourth Street they all have kind of the sidewalk right on the street and that's true and Main Street has that also today so I not sure there's a number of places in Carver that have the sidewalk right up to the curb um I know CU I lived on one of them for five years so how was your snow how was my snow it's snow either you pile it in the Boulevard or you push it and pile it in the yard either you pile it in this spot or you pile it in that spot yeah so I mean I didn't have any problems with it it yeah you get a little extra from um the snow plow but it's Minnesota we get snow and you move it and that's how it works so um I personally from my experience didn't have any issues with having it um right up to the curb line yeah I think our only concerned with the three feet is again the grass is kind of hard to grow with three feet we've heard um but we don't want the five feet so if that's the only option um on this the strip that goes down DCT how far is their step back how far I'm Excuse me how far is the did you decide to put it on is that white line the sidewalk yes that's the side that it's on be the West Side she was wondering what the boulevard was there too the same oh it is y what's the step back from the house from the back of curb to the house because you've got it measured 34 35 here but it's not measured on that one okay I would I would have to I would have to do a measurement on on that one I did not do that one it was is that the question you were yeah I was just curious there's looks smaller but is that and is it just the setback in the front of the house because I believe that's the side of the house it's both okay yeah so it applies a corner lotes to both yeah and these aren't minimum setbacks these were just kind of average distances per se there there's really no minimum violation I think we're even coming close to here this is more just about what's normal thank you as opposed to minimum required ordinance so um sorry no no no go ahead oh I just had one more question I missed the notice on the open house in my mail for some reason so it's probably already been gone over but um the street for our street it's going to be the same as what was projected in the beginning for width for the width yeah yes okay yes 32 you're you're up here 32 feet yes yeah so that's what all of cillis is that what we yes matches existing okay it matches the existing Street to the okay right thank you yep s are you good y okay thanks kayy yes kayy the Sixth Street um sidewalk that you were uh referring to that street I'm old that street uh there was a huge uh ditch with a cek line that went up and so the reason for where that sidewalk was put was for the drainage of the ditch all the way up that's why they put the the the sidewalk where they did okay does that help hello hey Hannah dinkler 417 dedri drive so like we talked about one more time what was that 417 dedri Anna dangler okay um I will go on record that we like the sidewalks but I've heard a lot of talk at the last council meeting I was watching online about the that the boulevard with and um just one thing to mention at the December public hearing we talked about matching what's in the current stretch of kill which has a Boulevard and I think it would be strange if we went in the end of it and your yard has a Boulevard and then all of a sudden we jump to the side so if we want want to stick with that continu continuity theme that was brought up in the past keeping that Boulevard Mak sense so that's all we like the sidewalks on dedri are you we're the corner like in the very back where the curve thank you when you mean the back corner is that where the and that runs down to six straet correct I'm sorry okay now I know um here's a question for Larry Brenton Dan um reducing the the um burden from 25 to 19 192 correct does that change the bonding or affect the bonding or anything like that that we will be doing it meets the criteria it does it does thank you right any other public comments questions concerns okay anybody else oh yeah I'm sure well I will make a motion to adopt resolution 108 19 approving plans and specs and ordering advertisement for bids for the 2019 infrastructure Improvement project we have a motion from council member Henry I'll second it second from council member mcnight um any discussion yeah I have a few things go ahead um and looking at the overall plan I want to say one thank thank you to staff for working so diligently to work on the the cost and the fees I was really happy to see that we were able to find some savings there to bring this cost down to the homeowners um 90% of this plan I think is absolutely fantastic I think that the streets up there definitely need to be redone um they are in in some desperate need of repair um I think most of the council and um anyone who's been watching knows that I have a problem with this the proposed sidewalk um I think that one the proposed sidewalk up on kersi um I don't well one I've I've heard the residents I've um heard the residents who it directly affects and they are not um in favor of it I also have some misgivings about the fact that we're creating another um sidewalk that leads to an uncontrolled intersection um I prefer um to see a different plan come out with um connectivity for the city um that might address the issues of having uncontrolled intersections we have one that comes out into High Street not far from where we now have one and then we also have at the top of Fourth Street we have a trail Crossing there excuse me which a a previous Council decided to remove the stop signs that used to be there there was a stop sign at that point of Crossing wasn't there right above the church in Elm on Fourth Street yes there was now we have um we have a it is marked but it is there's not a stop sign there so we have people who are crossing there we'll have people crossing down farther and then we're going to have people crossing down farther all technically in in uncontrolled intersections there are no stop signs to to stop traffic as people um are crossing the road so I again I am 90% in favor of this project I think the street reconstruction um in in generality over the entire um span of the project is great um the the the funding the pricing that we've worked on has has been a great help to the residents when it comes to the cost of those assessments I still am not in favor of the sidewalks for the reasons that I have just stated um I think that if we were to even talk about putting them directly onto the road I could I would love to entertain a conversation about that um otherwise I I'm not in favor of the sidewalks as proposed tonight um my comments um I think the sidewalks are necessary we in our comprehensive plan for as long as I have been associated with the city with you on the Parks Commission on the Planning Commission um we've talked about connectivity and the sidewalk is going to be proving to be a connector between essentially Sixth Street and Fourth Street um there is currently a sidewalk that go runs the length of what happens to be my property that is a sidewalk to nowhere I know you talked about a trail to nowhere so um for me it makes sense to do that um I agree with Anna's comments about the continuity and wanting to have everything else have that look of being the same of everything in that City that said I have of done a little informal poll of some of the folks who are sitting here tonight and it seems like the desire um is to have those sidewalks close right up to the street so I would be um in favor of that um that said we still need to have the sidewalks I have my own concerns I know that the snow removal you know I worry about snow removal um I just want to tell you I know Mike and Kaye you guys both mentioned that it's hard to maintain the grass let me dispel that rumor that's not a we've never had any issues growing grass in that area in our Boulevard um so that's not not an issue um I also commend City staff for taking a really hard look at these numbers and bringing it down um I was at the open house on Thursday night and some of the feedback that we got that the residents were really really thankful um and happy that the numbers had gone down that $5,800 so this is still a large number but I appreciate the time that Brent you and everyone else spent looking into these numbers and crunching them and trying to bring them down and seeing that there was no stone left unturned when we look took a look at this assessment so I'm really appreciative of that any other comments I have some comments um thank you for the staff echoing what's been said earlier by uh council member Mock and Mayor Johnson on getting um a lower um assessment uh for the those residents I am also in favor of um what Mayor Johnson said regarding having that area not have a Boulevard rather do the concrete the sidewalk right to the curb um just based on the resident feedback and I believe this project really gets us starting on the the connectivity and continuity um there's more to be done but for this project I think it's a great start yes I agree with um council member mock in that it would be nice to have you know more of the sidewalks connecting what was discussed two weeks ago in a previous meeting from Community Park um connecting um down to high I believe High Street High Street uh but I think that's for a different project um so I uh Echo um what Mayor Johnson said regarding um eliminating that Boulevard in that kers Hill Drive area um but otherwise I think um we're making great progress and I I support it I concur I mean I think this is a great Improvement project I appreciate everything staff has done to listen to Residents make accommodations help educate and explain why we're for planning this project the way that we are um and also working the numbers um to make it a little bit more viable for everybody but I think it is a great Improvement project I agree with all the comments about connectivity um but I also really concur with council member mock that we got to address some of the gaps that and issues that we have in our trail system in general and um I would like to continue to Advocate that we look at some of those walkability studies and some of those things and address those issues in the future absolutely okay so we have good we're good so in Council so the sorry sorry about that council members Henry was to approve or his motion and was seconded by council member mcnight was approve the plans and specs as as presented so um I don't know the protocol of Robert's Rules as it relates to amend but but if um as it stands you'd have to vote on that motion up or down and then you could consider another motion if that failed am I correct you are correct you could also vote to at this point somebody could make a motion to amend the current motion on the table to if I'm following the discussion of the council correctly to move the sidewalk on a certain portion of Ky to be adjacent to the street and if that was seconded then the first thing order of business would be a vote on that Amendment then the next order of and assuming that that motion passes then the next order of business would be a vote on the main motion as amended so to be clear what's that so to be clear um we have plans and specs currently correct we are Bid we are on the current plans and specs could we bid the sidewalk at the street put that in the plans of specs as and um an option council member Henry Council that alternates are typically um put out there for a cost this is a design piece whether either you want it or or you don't so I I suggest the council vote council members Henry council member Henry's motion up or down and then if it if it fails then another motion be made to adopt the project with any amendments that you choose I think that'd be the cleanest way to do this let's keep it clean okay any more discussion we have a motion and a second to approve the plans as is with the boulevard between the sidewalk and the street all in favor say I I opposed say Nay Nay n we'll do a roll call council member Henry I council member Mack nay Mayor Johnson nay council member SE nay council member mcnight I thank you so I'll entertain another motion or make it myself ahead so I will move um to motion to adopt resolution 108-119 approving plans and specifications um which includes a sidewalk adjacent to the curb um an advertisement for bids for the 2019 infrastructure improvements project is that what you need yep okay I'll second the motion uh motion by myself Mayor Johnson and a second by council member s any discussion all in favor say I I opposed nay n and we'll do another roll call council member Henry I council member Mack I Mayor Johnson I council member SE I council member mcnight nay thank you all right the motion passes moving on to item 9.2 plans and specifications for Commerce Drive well take two I think you know what's coming on this one here this is a pretty similar discussion here this is a uh request uh approved plans and specifications for Commerce Drive and Associate infrastructure improvements here so I'll give you a little bit of background on that one here of course you've seen this before but it's new roadway and utility infrastructure that' be uh serving the site uh the uh intended project to extends sanitary sewer in water M and then uh completes a roadway uh connection that ultimately would be the access and service to Lake VI Industries uh what's been done today here is uh gone through the many steps what what ultimately be similar to the 429 process there's a certain uh Tiff and uh Tiff and deed funds involved with the project so that's the general procedures that are being followed of course approve the feasibility study authorize the plans and specs uh and uh ultimately what we're here tonight to talk about is receiving the plans and specs and authorizing advertisements for bid so plan would be to uh move into into the bidding process and award process with the construction as early as possible to stay in line with the lake view Industries schedule so that uh is the current action at the table here and um I guess we would be open to any questions or comments you may have on the project we're all good any questions NOP Glen thinking okay okay he's thinking please hold uh no okay let I'll entertain a motion I'll make a motion to adopt resolution 9-19 approving plans and specs and ordering advertisement for bids for Commerce Drive we have a motion by council member Henry I'll second second by council member Mack all in favor say I I I opposed motion passes all right um item number 9.3 the Southwest Prime service agreement Mr Merrick thank you mayor and Council uh South West Transit operates What's called the prime service which is an ond demand ride service model which primarily provides uh transportation to Eden Prairie Chanhassen chasa and Victoria and for the last two years um in Carver in 2017 and 18 it's a ride Service uh that uses ada8 compliant vehicles and typically provides kind of that first mile Last Mile of Transit Service uh the city had been receiving uh the prime Service as a kind of a promotional piece from Southwest Transit uh in relationship to the city's Uh current operations Grant which runs uh bus transit out of carver station uh the city hadn't been charged for that service and in 2018 Prime provided approximately 2,000 rides in the city in and out of the city of Carver um late in 2018 Southwest did notify the city that it would cost approximately $15,000 continue that service um based on the time of year and where we were at in the budget process uh the city did not uh choose to continue that uh rather chose to initiate a conversation with the city council on the future of funding that service uh at the January 22nd uh city council work session the prime service model was reviewed with the council along with uh a description of the grant opportunity or the grant uh service model at carver station um Prime is not an eligible expense under that Grant model or Grant uh just for that bus service to downtown Minneapolis in the University of Minnesota um based on feedback from the council uh staff along with the city attorney worked on a draft Services agreement for Prime uh under the terms of the agreement Prime would uh start again on March 1st um as part of the agreement which is a subtle change from the uh work session uh the city would only be charged for rides originating out of Carver and not for rides ending in Carver so that changes a little bit of the cost the city um so it it operates not as a kind of a a flat fee you get Prime for the year but it's based on the users and so kind of our estimate based on users from years past and their new kind of model for charging is we're expecting about $122,000 of costs in 2019 um Prime is really developed as a transportation piece throughout the area and so they've seen growth rates in you know 40% 50% in communities um we're planning on a 20% and so we've scheduled that out through 2023 um and part of that piece is understanding kind of the impact that it has to the community and future conversations with it um so the city really hasn't marketed with prime marketed Prime as it's been kind of a promotional piece uh but even with that uh service ending there was a number of folks that reached out saying that they would like to see that service continue uh I think emails were sent to the council my point excuse me my point in saying this is that based on the N based on the growth um and how this Prime service is evolving I think it' be exceedingly difficult for the council to take away that service in five years so my point in putting out those numbers not as a pro or a con to the service but just anticipating that this is more than just probably a one-year commitment it's a long-term commitment for the community uh to provide this type of Transportation um and so we've we have the sample or proposed agreement in your packet um essentially the council has kind of three choices tonight you can choose to adopt the agreement uh go to the Southwest Transit board they'd adopt it we'd be able to start in March 1st uh the council could choose to take no action which would essentially then you know not provide the service or if you need additional information or you'd like some additional research done uh we can certainly do that bring it back to a future meeting happy to answer any questions she open this up for public comments before we does anybody have any comments questions shelle if you can just state your name and your address please I'm Shelley Rudolph I'm at 1214 Street East um and thank you first of all for putting this on your agenda tonight I know that you have a lot on your plate with everything going on but I have a few things written down cuz I wanted to come prepared so um as you know some of you uh we do have a family here in Carver that has um that uses Southwest Prime to transport their physically handicapped daughter to Eden Prairie chasa um Chan Hassen and so forth because it has the handicap accessible van and without that um without Southwest Prime um she has been sitting in her home unable to to leave because she doesn't they don't have access to a handicap accessible van of their own um in addition to that family there are people that use it to commute to work there are um uh there's a sorry lost my place here you're fine we have um a senior housing development that's being built on Sixth Street um we have subsidized hous housing in multiple areas around town um and there are people that simply cannot afford their own Vehicles South Southwest Prime is a service greatly needed here in Carver and that need is only going to increase as our population grows I hope you choose to continue Prime services for those who commute for those unable to afford their own vehicle for the senior citizens who already live in Carver as well as those who will be living in the new um Senior Housing Development and for people like Ashley who need uh that handicap accessible buses that Prime offers just to leave their home and access human interaction so thank you for um communicating uh with me about this and with others in the community and look forward to your conversation a question Shelly um so weab offer services have they been able to utilize that for any of the gaps I don't know that they don't have hand cap accessible okay so it's a wheelchair is it wheelchair bound that they have to yes he's a paraplegic okay yeah thank you bried Welch 1813 Red Oak Ridge um I guess uh I would voice my support for this proposal um I I feel as a member of the car community that we should be able to support the people who again can't afford a car or don't have as many options as as many of us do so I I would support this measure thanks thanks re any other comments all right I do council member Henry um looking at the financials Brant uh I know we discussed 15,000 is a 12,000 for this year prior our priority rate no it's not a pro-rated rate so it's based on users so it's if we are in a position where it's not used very much you know considerably you'll have more money in the Coffer so to speak if it's used to a great amount you might go through that $112,000 by October 1st okay then what then I'd come back to you and say do you want to take more from the special Capital fund to fund this um but you know there'll be Cas there'll be cases where you go over or way under based on use and so part of this is a little bit of a I guess with you know a blindfold on because we haven't marketed this and so we could be just at the tip of the iceberg as far as the demand because it is it's you know it's basically a different version of uber in that it's an on demand model and they pick you up with the bus and it has the amenities that uh Mrs off discussed as far as being able to provide a service to uh people that need accessible resources so but ENT to really specifically essentially the city is Subs would be subsidizing $10 per per ride originating out a Carver and so if you had 10 rides in a week you'd take a $100 off of that $112,000 um this is just for out bowing rides correct rides originating out of the city okay how would they get back well they they get back using the same service models that that City then is charged for that ride going originating out of that Community okay so if if she what's her name what's asley Ashley if Ashley gets R of carber goes to chasa then chasa will they'll get build for her coming back to Carver is that what I'm understanding you're partly I don't know the financial Arrangement between chasa as they in southwest's organization correct tell you that but we won't be responsible for city be charged for the ride from chasa to Carver okay thank you um so I think that having South Southwest Prime is really important for our community and I think it's a service that is um necessary and needed and it's not the first time that I have heard that um I do get a little bit nervous when we have a certain amount a dollar amount and then all of a sudden we hit it and you know now that we've been talking more about it it may become even more popular and I I do get a little fearful at the we'll just use October 1st as our as our point then October 1 comes and then we have to say well either we cut it off or we add more dollars to it so I'm I I really want to hear the rest of the council's discussion on this part too because it's like I said I get a little bit nervous about that I do have one question Brent when you said that we would roll it over in the Coffer or we have it in the coffers does that mean that if we only came in let's say at $10,000 that when we were budgeted for 12 would we have that $2,000 would we kind of have like a special fund for this or when you say it's in the Coffer still would we roll things over or not no I mean generally if there's a surplus of of funds in a in any given year budget the city has an adopted policy that anything that's over 50% of the general Reserve budget so the if you think about the city's budget as if let's say it was $100 anything if we have $52 left over in the budget that $2 that two 2% would go into the special Revenue fund okay so we're we're required or the state auditor strongly suggest that you keep 40% of your operating revenues in reserve the city has a policy that says anything that exceeds 50% is put over into the special Capital so when I mean when I when I reference the kind of the savings account or coffers I I I was referencing if you hit 12,000 by October 1st the council will then have to direct staff to go back to the special Capital fund to at least for this year one to go and draw let's say you you know you hit it October 1st we'd say well do you want to to tell Southwest we don't have any more funds or do you want us to go back to the special capital in the following years let say that that happened in 2020 and we budgeted 14,400 you know you'd be in a situation like you would be in probably any number of cases with the budget where all of a sudden you spent more money than you are anticipating and you can either choose to change your service model so if we um exceeded costs in postage we'd have to say well that's just the cost of doing business and we're going to to go over in that or you you know say well we're going to do more emails and so we'd have to have a continuous conversation and frankly we' you know we'd work with Southwest to really try to monitor this because we wouldn't want to put ourselves in a position where it was September 15th we're like oh we're going to run out of money in 15 days we really want to track out and say okay after one month you know looks like we're going to be short you know and so you know I think your comments are are well stated council member mockin that you know part of this financial piece is a little bit unknown and that's a can be a little bit concerning um because we really don't know what this is going to end up being we know that it provides a great service but we don't know what the the financial um costs are going to be with any degree of great certainty okay and then my final question um when when is the um Assisted Living going to have residence what year what month can we expect that to happen Aon spring at 2020 yes um I'm sorry I didn't hear what that was council member Mack we're anticipating spring 2020 spring I'll also add that Carver Ridge is projected to have their own bus so it's yes that's part of their service plan okay thank you um my my comment is that I well two things I do see a need for this and um I did have a similar question about the um senior housing and I understand that there's a shuttle there but I think this also could be a service for the potential employees um that will staff that facility so I could see an increase there for ridership Southwest Prime seems to keep really good records don't they from what they brought to us so we'll be able to yeah so whates pretty well if I may so what impressed me about the contract um included in our packets was the detailed reporting that will receive on a monthly basis and detailed number of writers many repeat writers you know when we met with Southwest previously I felt like I needed more data and wanted to get more data and which is why you know I asked Brent to tell me about the residents who um were missing this service and I was really glad to hear from Shelley and I think and Bren for me another email um that was good data that makes me feel good about putting this in a budget because I feel like we do need to be committed to it but I also want to monitor it and make sure we're budgeting for it and we understand what the costs are right especially over time are they growing as we're anticipating or not or whatever so that we can make the appropriate adjustments um so I like the reporting commitment in the contract that makes me feel better that we'll be able to monitor it going forward go ahead um this is something new I'm ending up not being able to say backfiring when I saw that there was 2,000 rides in and out of Carver I was kind of choking at the numbers but then when it was explained that it was about 50% in 50% out and we're looking at the 50% going out of town um that was much more palatable um but I do believe that Southwest will give us really really good numbers because they want to track this as much as we do so um yes it's kind of an unknown but it's a service that I believe is needed and wanted in town so agreed um so just to kind of my thoughts um I agree that this is a service that's needed in town um you know I think when it comes down to it we're talking Transportation but this is a housing issue if we are committed to having housing for all in Carver we need to be able to have that same commitment to the services to accommodate the folks who are participating in all the different various levels of housing that we have in Carver you know I have a a friend that I know who had a medical issue and it doesn't necessarily qualify for other other services but he wasn't able to drive for a number of months so you know we're all just kind of something like that away from needing a service like this um I really appreciate Brent looking at um the numbers in the long-term kind of Outlook and projections for the budget numbers for this because um I think it's important that we all realize and kind of like what Brent said is that we need to be committed to this for the Long Haul because it was there were some folks who were impacted deeply when this when this program stopped at the first of the year if we do it again or if we get a reputation that this is going to be something that has fits and starts then that's not good either um so as long as we realize that a vote to continue the service tonight is part it's just a drop in the bucket it's a longer term commitment as long as we all share that same not maybe not share but recognize that commitment we good um I have also received some emails um Eric Gentry is a Carver resident he works in housing at cap agency and some of their social workers have folks who live in Carver Crossings who were affected by this um an email about somebody who now walks two miles into chasa every day for work so um this definitely has well has affected a fair amount of people um a few things um and I think we had a really good presentation from Southwest Transit two weeks ago and I think that this will be something that's good about taping those work sessions going forward um because they gave us a broader picture of the whole agreement with Southwest Transit but Erin can you remind me when do we anticipate the grant funds will run out for the the current service to the uo in downtown so the agreement that we have extends through the end of 2019 but based on funds I think we'll be able to extend beyond that I can't say exactly what it'll be but I anticipate Beyond 2019 okay so just the other thing that I want to keep at the Forefront of our minds while we're talking budget numbers is that we have you know these numbers 12,000 in 2019 144 in 2020 173 and 2021 you know keep that in mind but there's also the roughly 200,000 eron that of the grant that's our responsibility as well so just as long as we're all going into this on the same page with our eyes open um I also want to make sure I think this came as a little bit of a surprise and it felt really late that we were notified of this when it went away as of the first of the year I just want to make sure that we continue to have really good communication with Southwest Transit when we're dealing with potentially running out of money in October 1st as we've just kind of floated out there um I don't want to hear about that on September 20th so as long as we can kind of keep um and I think with the reporting we don't have anything to um to worry about um I think that's it for my comments I'd like to make a motion to enter into an agreement with Southwest transit for Prime in the city of Carver we have a motion from council member mock I'll second it we have a second from council member Henry all in favor say I I I opposed motion passes thank you Larry um speaking of do we have a I'm sorry do we have a restart date then March 1 March March so the agreement calls for March 1st we'll report back like so Southwest board will have to approve this which we don't think will be an issue but we once we hear back from that we'll confirm and we'll do we'll work with Southwest on a announcement um on social media website Etc letting people know what's available okay thank you all right moving on item 9.4 the Green Ash Drive easement acquisition Mr Harris thank you mayor me thank you mayor members of the council um in your packet is a resolution and a settlement agreement um about 1920 months ago the city commenced eminent domain to acquire a 165 by 80 foot wide strip so that the city could extend Green Ash Drive and utilities uh from the existing uh subdivision to the new uh Mi home subdivision there's the city got caught a bit crosswise between Property Owners um there was a contract for Deed on that strip I won't take the council all the way through it because it's painful and numbing details um the city was able to ultimately come to an understanding about two weeks ago um I would like to say it was through my efforts but I will be very direct and say it was through the very capable efforts of Mr Merrick who really brought everybody to the table once I got everybody in a meeting and convince them to accept an offer that the city had made almost two years ago to resolve this matter so the $15,000 that the city is settling for is consistent with an offer the city made in March of 2017 um I recommend that the council uh approve the resolution to settle this matter and to um authorize Mr Merck to sign the settlement agreement um only sorry it took this long long but the city was really caught in a fight between a contract vendor and a contract vend d and a contract for D there's any questions I'll be glad to answer it's just for this uh city right away on the street correct yes there are no questions I'll entertain a motion go ahead okay why do I have a long one again don't mess it up yeah I'll make a motion to adopt resolution 110-119 approving the terms of a settlement agreement to settle an eminent domain proceeding pending in caror County district court court file number 10- cv-1 17-6 74 and directing city manager Merrick to execute the settlement agreement done check it we have a motion by council member Mach a second by council member Henry all in favor say I I opposed motion carries all right um 9.5 2019 legislative priorities Mr Merrick mayor and Council the city has annually adopted legislative priorities um so the legislative session has begun uh the 2019 legislative prop or EXC legislative priorities look uh pretty similar to what you adopted in 2018 I would uh I happy to go into detail in any one of them the primary pie pieces though I think um revolve around two probably main planks one is funding for flood protection infrastructure really trying to develop um a new narrative for where the city's at with flood protection and starting to get into the ears of our Representatives representative Nash and Senator Jensen regarding the city's uh concept for providing a certified Levy and so this is kind of the entry into that uh we are hoping I think I think it's our second meeting in February uh to have WSB out to talk about where they're at with their concept and then the second uh piece is funding for US Highway 212 and finishing up I believe there's a really small Gap now in funding for uh having a four lay four lane expressway from carvera cologne it's often reported as chasa a cologne but we like to say carvera cologne because that's what it is um and so that would be um often time you know there's a safety piece to that I mean there was a fatality at near 40 or halfway between 11 and 43 a number of weeks ago um but frankly there's another piece of this frankly Economic Development and a lot of you have heard this conversation where you know Carver when a business retailer industrial look at Carver they look at it as a kind of a trade Circle and real we're real strong on the east side and frankly the better that cologne does the better that Carver is going to do is we can show that we have a complete trade Circle and that that's developing and so the um Expressway going from Carver to cologne and cologne succeeding and developing is going to do wonders for for Carver along with safety and bringing Freight uh through that Corridor um so we really want to keep pushing on that um the other pieces are pretty standard last year there was a real big push um as some of you know for um legislators to look at new bills and legislation that preempted uh the authority of city councils and boards where you know items would have to be customarily that the council would decide would be preempted by having to go through a reverse referendum process and um the league of Minnesota cities was a really a great leader in notifying cities about these pieces the city council adopted a resolution in support of opposing um new legislation that would create preemption amongst uh local government or take away local government control so um again I'm happy to answer any questions about spe specific pieces if I can talk um within the legislative priorities um for the council comments I think these look good Brent I appreciate kind of the ones you know that you highlighted um I I think they're all good well on yeah I have a question question Brent um the ones that are on here this year there's some that are familiar do we have are have most of these carried over from year to year correct or do have we added anything new this year from the previous year the the one that's new and Larry Harris is an expert at this but relates to so there is a I even hate saying this because I know Larry gets excited about it but harad versus Woodbury I I'll let Larry get into it because he gave me such a nice compliment that I'll let him talk about case [Laughter] law maybe about three years ago the City of Woodbury attempted to impose a somewhat vague and undefined and very large fee against a developer heead development for off-site transportation improvements I.E improvements to city streets um that candidly weren't even directly adjacent to the development um the developer commenced litigation against the city ultimately prevailed prevailed through the appell at courts um and created some really unfavorable case law for cities in terms of how they can impose any type of a fee for an offsite trans Transportation Improvement that's a significant issue for communities and has kind of been a GameChanger in terms of how cities have to do certain things um a good example in the city of Carver it's not and I want to be careful it's I don't want to say these are small dollars but the city in relation to the Oak Tree Subdivision anticipates that oak tree is going to contribute to needs on doen Road now doen Road doesn't directly abut oak tree so within your approving resolutions and within what has become a relatively more convoluted developers agreement we now have to treat these as special assessments with special assessment waivers in in a means to collect a charge then in the case of Oak Tre the developer goes yeah we get it we understand that we create some pressure on doen road and they didn't object to the fee but it was a pretty comp applicated means in order to do that and to recover it but for other cases that could become significantly more complex particularly for developments that don't directly abut County state aid highways because of the County's cost share policy on improvements of County state aid highways they require the city to pay the development created portion the county doesn't have direct authority to make make the developer pay so the County's position is the city has to pay well if the city can't impose a transportation fee upon a developer we get through some pretty interesting machinations about how are we going to do this um that particular issue and how to resolve it is going to get some serious traction at the legislature this year and candidly there's going to be some pretty significant Push Pull between the LMC Greater Minnesota cities and batsy the Builders Association of the Twin Cities I mean there's going to be I don't know where that's going to play out but it's it's a really significant issue for developing communities and it's a it's a big potential issue in Carver so far we've been able to do a workaround but they're complicated and expensive and you know I probably worry more about bras than about bad fact situations that we might not be able to correct it so and in my universe this is a big priority for the legislature to address this year I have to say I was at the league of Minnesota City's leadership conference this past weekend and this was on their priority list so I did hear about this and a lot of what we have on this list is very consistent with what the league of Minnesota cities had on their list this was I had already kind of learned about this before read the packet you knew all the case law all right AR versus who sorry I have a question for either Mr mer or Mr har is there any areas within our city that could also have the same scenarios as the dull Green Road where this could come up as far as opting out or supporting a transit system like do we have a development that has a similar scenario with this County Road at pressure being added even though the property is not adjacent but not that I can think of it do we have anything on our radar that typically council member s typically comes with a collector road that serves a bunch of other properties and maybe only briefly touches the development property I mean the interesting thing as I understand it is cities are able to do this as it relates to water and sanitary sewer infrastructure it's just basically a gap in the statute that doesn't allow it for streets and so what cities are advocating for is you allow it for certain types of infrastructure it's obvious to cities that streets should be included in that and so this is why we're doing it but to the to your point specifically there isn't anything that I'm aware of other than as we go west down dalren Road where the the geography of that terrain uh makes it difficult to connect on to doen where I think that'll be an ongoing issue as we develop west of 11 we did have that issue earlier this year year though um with the DR Horton subdivision which required improvements out on you know out on the county road that resolved itself because of a joint agreement between Horton and United properties um to build the start of that collector in so in that case we had Cooperative developers we got it all worked out but when that when the Horton subdivision first came in remember that was you know that was back off the county road and that's the fact pattern that concerns me in that case because of Cooperative developers and in need we got it resolved but if United properties hadn't been wanting to come into play right away that could have been an issue that was for the Meridian Fields correct any other comments questions rain a motion I'll make a motion to adopt the 2019 legislative priorities motion by council member Mack second second by council member Sarah all in favor I uh opposed motion passes all right um 9.6 commission appointments okay let's get the next pile out here miss siden are we going to do this one commission at a time how do you want to do this um yeah I think we should start in the order one motion I'd suggest you appoint Commissioners one by one Vic is requested that we make a motion for every commission one commission at a time one commission per P per commissioner is that correct correct okay I have one question before we get started um has anybody heard how Mike fahe is doing you know being that it's a medical condition I don't know that we should may speak to it thank you you're welcome um I would like to make a motion to appoint um I'm gonna have a hard time with his last name Tim G gu D dare okay um to um the open position for board member on the HP commission for the open board yep for the open board member I'll second that what so wait so we have to all in favor that okay so we're gonna not wait until the end okay sorry um yeah any discussion all in favor say I I I discussion was going to have sorry I'm sorry I was sorry yep um I um was going to Advocate wait can we do that are we in the middle of a vote oh my God okay Larry he's fine I catch you did I catch you in time sorry so the council uh had a motion in a second they voted and then there was some discussion that was I did not vote oh nor did I because discussion and I'll take the motion and then sorry sorry sorry yeah I had a discussion I don't know what just happened here may Johnson called for the vote some voted some did not and those that voted voted in the affirmative correct so there are at least three votes in favor and there are now council members that didn't vote that wish to discuss the matter yes the the most civil way to handle this under Robert's Rules would be for those that voted in the affirmative to move to reconsider a motion and a second by those that voted in the affirmative to reconsider then you that motion if it then passes brings the prime motion back on the table people can discuss and then you can move forward I make a motion to reconsider our motion I'll I guess I'll second we have a motion to reconsider from council member mcnight and a second from council member mock I just had one question hold then we can have discuss I don't I have no discussion on this I okay now discussion time opposed wait are we voting I didn't catch you're voting only on the motion to reconsider to reconsider reconsider I all in favor of the motion to reconsider vote i i i opposed motion reconsider passes may I have my question you may okay John Willard is currently on the commission correct that was one and is he a Bo is he board member or a first alternate is that what you're asking yes my notes are that he's a current board member

term that's up is kayle's but she is applying for a different applying for a different commission there is um in the packet um it looks like maybe a screenshot from the website and it has um the name and then uh kind of a box in red on where there's going to be movement just by the term dates um I found that helpful because it says what their current position is where did it go exactly I know I had it we in the work here you and I can share other question Kay's not going for this she's going for right so the three applicants are on the yep so my two cents I mean I like that existing Commissioners get an opportunity to remain upon that Commission because they're interested in continuing that's kind of my just general default but I was really impressed with Tim being a new Resident with his experience with older homes his Just Breath of experience I was very impressed with him so no matter what I'd like to see him participate in this Commission you have more question I'm sorry I

that I mean for years was we're going to fill this position we need somebody for this and we just didn't have any applicants but now it's fun and it's it's nice to see the community involved but that's what I got and we appreciate every person who applied because it's never an easy decision so thank you for everyone who took the time out of their schedule to to apply and then to want to be part of this yeah absolutely yeah I will Echo both of your sentiments it's just exactly like how it was I think a little more than three weeks ago it is a really good problem to have to have more qualified and good candidates and eager candidates than you know what to do with or that you have slots for um I'm also really impressed by the folks who on that evening when we were po pointing somebody to council who we said it's not going to work for Council we can just have one please come back those folks like Reed that they did so I'm really happy that we're able to engage that through the commissions tonight so all right um moving on to council member Communications council member mcnight yeah um my only communication is that I attended the league of Minnesota City's uh newly elected officials leadership conference that's a mouthful um I really enjoyed it uh my favorite statistic I shared with Brent earlier is that um the league represents you know 800 and some cities in Minnesota 70% of them have a population of 4,000 or less we are in the top 30 that was really impressive to me it was really nice to um to spend time and meet other people who are from small communities facing all the same things that we are um as well as get a really broad introduction to you know what does it mean means to be on a city council um importance of communication and finance and a lot of the basics so it's really good I really appreciated being able to attend that that's all I have to [Music] share if I may I have if I may I have a few things to share I am also attending the same type of conference it's the same agenda um It's Just Happening later this month and I have not had any other meetings or liaison um activities since our recent Council meeting um two weeks ago and I do want to um just acknowledge all the work that went into the recent um grant for the infrastructure um the grant that came from the Minnesota deed um having had a chance to read into it and learn more about it um that's a big deal 977 million thousand sorry sorry I was like as I was saying I'm like why didn't I write that one down okay million can I read anyways um my point is um it just really shows that having a city city planner and staff is such an asset and the way that they collaborate with others that we work with so I think that's specifically Aaron Smith and if I understand um Jean garded um from Springstead so just huge thank you just on behalf of the city that is tremendous to get that sizable $977,000 US Dollars uh Grant from um Minnesota deed for that infrastructure project is just an awesome win so thank you good um I was able to attend the fire department's training last Monday night um I wanted to go and introduce myself but it was also the night that they did CPR training so it was cool the fire department opens that up to spouses and family members so there were probably about 40 well there were maybe 30 folks in there but some spouses and some older children of firefighters family members who are now trained in CPR that weren't before so that's really cool um I also um Larry mentioned it earlier I also want to just um thank Brent for your work with that easement of Green Ash Drive I know um that that was a long road is probably not the pond that I intended um to get there but your way Short Road um but your ability to kind of

want to talk about kver County leaders at all yeah there was a meeting um kind of mid January uh Carver County leaders that meets quarterly um and they um brought in some uh speakers that work in the field of uh drug addiction and really um shared some stats um for all the counties so it was interesting to see with Carver County and just what initiatives Carver County has um and you know just how it's it is a priority or it's you know definitely you know something that ties into it was a lot of people from the public health and then also the criminal justice system but that they really realize um that there's so many factors that go into it and that it's really a community effort to um you know just support people people and and to offer services so I thought it was it was really insightful
