"[Music] Good evening. Welcome to the May 19th city council meeting. If you join me for a moment of silence and pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisibley and justice for all. Okay. Um, roll call please. V here. Here. Vermal here. Walter here. Lee here. Okay. Moving on to item three, citizens comments. Opportunity for those in the audience if they want to address the council for up to three minutes. Want to come on up and state your name and address for the record, please. Um, Greg Brown, Credit River, 20380 Lynn Drive. I'm here to talk about 205th Avenue, which is um I'm not sure too many people realize that 25th Avenue is a Lakeville City Road. Much to my surprise, it it makes sense that it it butts up with a Scott County Road and to the to the east it's it's Lakeville City Road. And I think part part of that is that maybe the jurisdiction should be a county road versus a a city road. But why I'm here is because I've been asking when that road has been done. And in 2021, I was told it was going to be 2023. In 2023, I was told it was going to be 2025. And lo and behold, my surprise, I called in and said, because I didn't see anything regarding that in all the construction projects, and now I'm told it's 2027. And we keep kicking that can down the road. And I don't think from a safety standpoint, that road has gotten a lot busier in the last two years. Recently, uh what let me back up. What makes it dangerous is it's narrow. It's rolly. Very much rolly. Um if it's so rolly that there's a hay bill that's been sitting there for about a half a year on the side of the road because it fell off on one of the rolls. Um there's motor homes on there, there's tractors on there, there's bikers on there, there's semis on there and just just recently I saw a trailer a tractor pulling a a trailer full of hay bales. There was 10 cars stacked behind it and going east there was a biker on the road. Now tell me that isn't a a recipe for disaster. And what I was told is that it's it's up to you guys here at the city council to to set that budget to get that construction project going. And I'm thinking that 2027 isn't going to make it isn't going to cut it. It needs to be next year. I understand that this year's probably too late because of the everything's out to bid and everything or but for 2026 it should be on that budget. Um there's been a fatality already on that. I really don't want another. And one of the things also it's an east west road so you get the sunrise and sunsets going on. Um and that's pretty much it. Um I appreciate the consideration and and talking about it. All right. Well, thank you very much. Yeah. Would you just leave your contact information with our city clerk so I can follow up with you? Sure. Thanks. Appreciate it. All right. Thank you. Yep. Any other citizens comments? Okay. Moving on to additional agenda information, Mr. Miller? Nothing tonight, Mayor. Oka…
