[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.
