[0:03] It is Thursday, October 9th, and this is [0:05] the Chan Check-in, and we're coming to [0:06] you this week from Carver Beach [0:08] Playground Park right behind me, which [0:09] just got a brand new installation, the [0:12] first upgrade to this park since the [0:14] 1990s. We're going to host an official [0:16] ribbon cutting here on October 14th at [0:18] 5:00 p.m. to toast this great community [0:20] asset. And we hope that you'll join us. [0:22] We hope that you'll join us tonight here [0:24] at city hall from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. to [0:27] learn more about the city's review of [0:29] its slow no wake elevation levels policy [0:31] at Lake Minowashta. And we want to [0:34] officially welcome you to this building [0:36] at our public open house November 1st [0:38] from 10:30 a.m. to 100 p.m. We'll have [0:41] self-guided tours, snacks, activities [0:43] for kids. We'll have staff members from [0:45] every department there and ready to talk [0:47] to you about whatever's on your mind. [0:48] Speaking of city hall, word on the [0:50] street is that something new and [0:51] mysterious showed up here recently. So, [0:53] let's get to the heart of it with our [0:54] own investigative reporter, Drew Zarski. [0:58] Thanks, Patrick. No one knows exactly [1:00] what this strange metal box is, but it [1:03] was found recently outside City Hall. So [1:05] close you could drive up to it. Locals [1:07] say it showed up overnight. Some call it [1:09] a statement piece in brush steel. Others [1:11] calling an interactive display in [1:13] deadlines and discipline. I saw somebody [1:15] drop a check and it never returned. [1:18] I heard it beats bills. [1:20] I've been doing some research and I read [1:23] on Reddit that it's a magical portal to [1:26] the finance department. [1:28] Uh, guys, I hate to burst your bubble. [1:30] It's just a utility dropbox. [1:35] I knew it. You can drop off your utility [1:37] bills here or you can use the one in the [1:40] lobby vestibule [1:42] or of course just pay online. Either [1:44] way, mystery solved. And who knows what [1:47] other civic mysteries await when we [1:49] check in with you next week.
