[1:37] Okay. Roll call, please. Bolt here. Helier here. Burmal

[1:49] anybody to address the council. If you want to just come up, state your name and your address for the record.

[1:55] You have three minutes. Welcome. Welcome. Good evening. Uh I'm Raymond Tudtow. I live at 16685 Foliage Avenue,

[2:03] Rosemont, Minnesota. Um, my concern today is with the licensing of vehicles.

[2:10] Um, I've gotten a ticket in the mail from Liz Stockman. I've talked to her

[2:16] about it and she said, "Well, you can just go down and get them from the Lakeville DMV." I've been down there. They said, "We can't give you it because

[2:22] you don't have insurance on it." Um, now the law, if I'm not correct, is

[2:28] if you don't have insurance on a vehicle, you cannot put tabs on it, right? I'm I'm not familiar with the with the

[2:35] rules related to that. Yeah, it is. Um because I've I've asked numerous times before. So now my

[2:41] question is is I I'm getting fined for something I can't really do. Um you

[2:46] know, it's against the law to do it. I can't put my information for my other vehicles on there because that's against

[2:52] the law. Uh what is the deal? I mean, can we make some type of a parking

[2:59] permit pass until I get tabs? This is a vehicle I don't really want to sell. Um,

[3:05] it's kind of a spare vehicle right now. Um, I I I would like to be compliant with

[3:13] the city. You know, if it has to have tabs on it, I'm fine with it, but I don't know how I'm supposed to get them.

[3:20] So, I've If you could leave your name and phone and email

[3:26] there with our staff, we'll follow up with you directly. Is that okay? That is okay. Um, If not, you can borrow

[3:32] mine. Um, I'll have to borrow yours. I I Okay, Taylor's got a pen. You can just write We'll follow up with you.

[3:49] We can get more details back to you. Thank you. We'll get it squared away.

[3:54] Any other public comment? Okay.

[4:00] If you don't have I'd like to actually bring up another thing. Okay. Yep. I'm not going to reset your

[4:05] three minutes, but Yep. Um, so hang on. We got to wait till you get to

[4:10] the microphone. I have an old truck that is licensed. I

[4:16] have collector plates on it. Um, because I've I guess I have a neighbor that doesn't like me. I've been complained

[4:23] about a lot of small stuff. I mean, time I even get the letters are always fixed 80% of the time. We'll say, um, I know

[4:31] you can put a party tent up for a week. I've seen that. Is there a possibility I could put up a temporary like summer

[4:39] shelter where I could work work on stuff? So, when it's just a shelter where people don't have to see the stuff

[4:45] in it, they don't have to see parts laying around, stuff like this. That's something I don't have an answer

[4:50] to, but we'll follow up in the same followup. Okay. All right. All right. Thank you very much. Thanks for stopping by.

[4:57] Okay. Um, any other public comment? All right. Any additional agenda

[5:03] information, Mr. Miller? Nothing tonight, Mayor. Okay. And we'll move on to our first

[5:08] presentation, the National Night Out Proclamation. And Chief, were you going to talk about National Night Out at all,

[12:03] be able to sample, but um both the parks department and the arts center as well

[12:09] as the liquor store has been a good staple in this project, too. So, it's great to have a circle of community

[12:14] together. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for stopping by, you guys.

[12:22] All right. Now moving on to item C, our public works quarterly report. I'll turn over to our public works director, Mr.

[12:29] Good evening. All right. Good evening, mayor, city

[12:35] council members. This is the second quarter report for public works.

[12:40] So, uh, we're right in the thick of construction season right now. So, I'll give you some updates on some of the

[12:45] projects we have going on in town here. The 185th Street project, that's from County Road 50 to IPA. uh we're about

[12:52] maybe less than 40% of that 40% of the project is complete at this time. We did

[12:57] uh pave the intersection of APA and about not quite half of the base course of 185th Street. But uh we're still

[13:05] working on storm sewer in uh installations, grading out in that project. Um but even with the weather uh

[13:11] that we've had, the um weather delays we've had, we're still anticipating that project to be open to traffic by the end

[13:17] of August. So hopefully we don't have any more of the weather delays though. Um the Conro 50 and Hamburg roundabout

[13:25] project that started construction on July 13th. Um uh currently the

[13:31] contractor has milled up the road um removed some of the the most of the uh concrete curbing that's out there.

[13:37] They're working on the storm sewer improvements uh this weekend into the next. And that project is anticipated to

[13:42] be open to traffic in September, end of September. The uh street reconstruction project for

[13:49] this year um is well underway. Uh the contractor has completed most of the

[13:54] water mane installation work that's uh taking place this year. We did line a 12-in water man um along 170th Street

[14:01] that uh is getting tested um this week and hopefully in um put in back into

[14:07] operation uh into this week as well. So their contract will be working on storm sewer moving forward here, but that

[14:13] project um will be uh substantially completed by end of the year.

[14:19] The street rehabilitation project, those are the mill and overlay projects. Uh they're going well this year. The Glasco

[14:25] area, they'll be paving the eastern side of the the project. Um this week, um

[14:31] 183rd Street project that the curb and gutters removing, we be pouring curbon curb back there this week. um then

[14:38] milling that before August 14th. After that, the contract would move it on the uh Kenyon Avenue. Uh that project uh

[14:46] just what it be uh east of Conro Conro 5 that'll be from July 21st to August

[14:52] 22nd. And then downtown project, the Holt Avenue area, a whole streets hold

[14:59] avenue area. Uh that project will start up um in July 28th and be finished uh

[15:04] before the end of August. In conjunction with the downtown project, the Market Street Plaza parking lot uh will be

[15:12] replaced. Uh this project is to remove the tripping hazards that are in the parking lot and then also improve the

[15:18] previous pavement efficiency, the water quality improvements um through for that parking lot. The parking lot

[15:24] unfortunately will be closed for approximately four weeks. Um and we hope to have that back open as soon as we

[15:30] can. Though the surface seal project, um, this year we have 19 miles of

[15:36] residential streets program for surface sealing. This is a, uh, rejuvenator

[15:42] penetrating, uh, sealer that helps extend the life of the pavements. Um, the project is anticipated to start

[15:48] August 18th and it'll take about a week to complete.

[15:53] Uh, moving on to the street department. Um the street department again was busy this uh earlier this month uh helping

[16:02] out with Panaprog assisting with the traffic control, street sweeping, those type of activities. And also we u

[16:08] participated in the touch a truck event this year which was uh wellreceived. A

[16:13] lot of kids really were interested in getting up close to our vehicles,

[16:18] checking them out. Um several other summer activities. We've got a lot of trees to remove yet this year with a EAB

[16:25] infestation. Pothole patching is ongoing as weather permits. Street sign replacement um is uh almost done for

[16:33] this year. Manhole cleaning, inspections and repairs are are ongoing as well.

[16:39] Moving on to the utility uh division, um we are uh down about 7% for water

[16:45] production as compared to the end of June from last year. Uh this is can be attributed to the wet summer we've h

[16:52] we're having again this year. But we did produce uh about 1.25 billion gallons of

[16:58] water so far this year. Uh the well 23 project off of 190th

[17:04] street uh the electrical building was finally installed about a week ago. So

[17:09] the electrician can now finish up his work and we're anticipating the substantial completion of that project by the end of August. Um lift station 26

[17:18] um improvements uh out of uh that are were constructed on Oak Shores Park are

[17:25] now substantially completed. List station was brought into operation on June 11th. We still have some

[17:31] restoration to do in the park and then there's going to be a milling overlay on uh Jamaican Oak Shores Drive later in uh

[17:39] I believe in August. They'll work on that. the uh sewer lining project for this

[17:44] year. We we uh lined about 2.75 miles of our sewers within the community. This

[17:51] project uh um helped uh lines deteriorated sanitary sewers that we

[17:56] have in our community um to help stop the infiltration of water into the pipes and prevent um pipe failures and

[18:04] potentially sewer backups. Uh this project is substantially complete now.

[18:09] And then the utility division, uh the uh uh water efficiency grants are still in

[18:15] effect. Um so we still have some money left over from the state for uh rebates. Uh to date we had 166 um residents apply

[18:24] for the rebates u which is about a third of the money uh is still left. Um these

[18:29] rebates uh can go towards um upgrading your um irrigation controllers um

[18:36] putting in high efficiency uh um toilets and then uh upgrading your irrigation

[18:43] system as well. So check the website if you're interested in that rebate.

[18:49] Moving on to the environmental resources uh division. Uh the East Lake invasive

[18:54] species uh removal program is is this is a second year for that. Uh to date this

[19:01] year we've moved over 4,000 pounds of carp and uh goldfish from the from the

[19:07] lake. Uh last year was almost uh 27 uh 2,800 lb of fish. So basically 7,000 lbs

[19:15] of of evasive species have removed from the lake so far. Um and we'll continue

[19:21] that until next year as well. Uh the project was uh joint project between um

[19:26] Bowser Vermillion Wershed District in the city to help improve the water quality of the lake.

[19:34] And then uh lake treatment updates. Uh curly leaf pond um treatment took place

[19:40] earlier this year on Lake Mirian and Orchard Lake. Uh we've treated almost 30

[19:45] acres of the lake. Uh curly leaf was a little bit higher um in these lakes this

[19:51] year just because of the we think because of the the mild winters that we had and all the water um the uh rain

[19:57] that we've had this year so far. Uh Eurasian mil foil. We're going to do a survey in those lakes uh later this

[20:04] summer as well and uh we'll potentially get some grants uh for some management

[20:10] of that uh evasive species and then AIS grant as we have um subsequent years we

[20:16] have had grants from the DNR and Dakota Dakota County to um help mitigates or

[20:23] help address the AAS um problems we have in our lakes um specifically u uh um

[20:30] boat monitoring our inspections as well. Uh and then some also some management activities that go along with that.

[20:38] Um some environmental activities and events that have taken place or will be taken place. A landscape and uh clear

[20:45] water landscaping for clear water event um is ongoing. There's been uh 38 uh

[20:52] residents that have participated in that and there's been uh in introductory class and design classes and if if uh

[20:58] you go through all the classes you can go get a grant for your property to put in some landscaping. So that's been very

[21:04] well received within the community. Um bumblebee monitoring took place on July

[21:09] 11th at Ritter Farm. We had 28 participants in that. It's a fun event for all the family to participate in and

[21:16] we're having that event again on July 28th and August 15th at Ritter Farm. And

[21:24] then uh July 23rd, we're going to have a be Cutler free uh presentation uh at

[21:30] Heritage Center. This is the uh declutter your house, especially your kitchen area, and how to recycle old um

[21:38] furniture or appliances or those type of things. Um and uh and that uh is

[21:44] sponsored by Dakota County Recycling. And then on September 27th, uh Dakota

[21:49] County will have a Valley Recycling. We'll have a recycling uh day at

[21:55] Burnsville Public Works. So you can bring your appliances and other um items to recycle to that event that takes

[22:01] place all day. Moving on, the forestry division. Um our shade tree um and EAB management is is

[22:10] ongoing. Um this year we we contacted 604 properties for invasive or for EAB

[22:17] infestation on their properties and we've had really good participation with the property owners. To date we've had

[22:23] we've worked with 438 properties to remove over 600 trees from their property. We're working with another 27

[22:30] properties to remove um those um dying uh ash trees on their property and then

[22:36] there's 11 property owners that decided to treat their trees and try to save some of their asht tree on their

[22:41] property which is which is great. Uh the next round surveys will be taking place

[22:46] uh in August for for next year's um management program

[22:52] and our EAB grant. Um we're about twothirds done with this program or with

[22:58] this grant. Uh this is the second year of the grant. Uh we removed about 55 trees from various parks throughout the

[23:05] community. believe we're be planting back 110 trees um this this fall and

[23:10] another 60 trees in Aronson Park this fall uh through this program.

[23:16] Moving on to the facility division um facility staff helped out the parks

[23:21] department with the kil uh kil room um project uh expanding their uh um

[23:29] offerings at at the uh fine arts building. Uh the exterior door um

[23:34] opening has been completed and the footings have been uh frost footings have been poured now too. So that

[23:39] project will be hopefully completed here uh the next month or so. And then the bathroom upgrades ADA improvements uh

[23:47] took also took place earlier this uh summer and at fine arts building with uh

[23:52] to improve the accessibility and functionality of the bathrooms there. Uh liquor store remodeling took place

[23:59] earlier this year too. facility staff uh acquired the bids for that. Uh that this project was to improve and make um and

[24:08] create a more open modern layout and enhance the customer experience and traffic circulation of the liquor store

[24:14] here. And then first center uh is well underway as you know. Um re just

[24:21] recently the uh pre-cast panels have been installed for the warehouse. That that uh section of the project's done

[24:28] and reporting footings for the main building now and and the project is uh

[24:33] on schedule as we speak. And then upcoming facility improvements. The heritage center is going to get a

[24:39] partial new roof in October. city hall. The um landscaping uh outside the front

[24:45] of the facility will take place in August and September and performant arts building the stained glass repairs.

[24:51] There's some cracked glass and some other things that need to be replaced at the art center will take place in August

[24:58] and that water treatment the chemical uh room gates uh are program repaired in

[25:05] July. And with that, I stand for questions. Okay. Council, any questions?

[25:11] Council member Lee. Thank you, Mr. Omi. Just one quick question going back to the parking lot

[25:18] uh tripping hazard improvements there. Um will the improvements there have any

[25:24] impact on there's I think either stamped cobblestone there or I'm guessing it's

[25:30] not real cobblestone in that parking lot, but is that being removed as a part of this project? Yeah, there's a good question. So that's

[25:36] there's a a previous pavers that are in the parking lots. We're actually saving some of those um pavers and replace and

[25:43] the and going to be replacing them and reusing them again and then adding there's some broken ones that we're replacing the broken ones with some new

[25:49] ones. So yeah, we're recycling those reusing as much as we can, but the underlying material is all going to get

[25:56] replaced uh so we have better infiltration into the parking lot. Great. Thank you.

[26:01] That was my question too. Want to make sure we just weren't paving over it just for No, it's going to back in kind. It's

[26:07] It's going to look pretty much the same. Okay. As is today. Yep. Right. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

[26:14] All right. And we'll turn over our next presentation, uh, our liquor department midyear report. And I'll turn over to

[26:20] our liquor operations director, Tana Wolf.

[26:31] Mayor and Council members, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to present the midyear report tonight.

[26:38] We will start off with sales metrics. Um after five years of record sales, we are

[26:44] slightly down compared to 2024. Um through June 30th, we've done over $10

[26:51] million in sales, which is about 4.5% lower than 2024.

[26:57] This deficit continues to decrease over the past few months and I am confident

[27:02] with a strong second half of the year we should be able to continue to decrease that deficit.

[27:11] The emporium room uh remains very popular for us. We've had so far this

[27:16] year we've had 48 rentals um with over $24,000 in rental fees and bar service

[27:22] fees being collected. We've expanded our marketing for graduation and holiday parties, which has paid off. In June, we

[27:29] had 17 graduation parties booked. So,

[27:34] uh, a lot of them are back to back on the weekends. So, it's very popular. We already have some, um, reservations for

[27:41] 2026 already. So, uh, we've also added additional exposure by participating in

[27:47] the Lakeville Home Show and Weddings of Lakeville. Our e-commerce program continues to

[27:55] grow. Year-to date. Our sales are a little over $26,000. That's a 46%

[28:00] increase over 2024 numbers. Um, our sales per transaction have increased

[28:06] significantly where there it's over $100 per customer. And we've really focused on our

[28:12] marketing. So, we've distributed a lot of flyers to new homes, hotels, senior living facilities, um apartments, pretty

[28:20] much anywhere that has a waiting area, we've tried to put a flyer in. Um we've expanded our delivery hours and we've

[28:27] added a bunch of additional exclusive online promotion features,

[28:34] community engagement. So during the month of March, we had our annual fundraiser for 360 communities and the

[28:41] Open Door Pantry. Our generous customers donated almost $29,000 and almost 300

[28:48] pounds of food to benefit our local area food shelves.

[28:54] Achievements. For the fourth year in a row, we were named a top 100 retailer by Beverage Dynamics magazine. And we are

[29:01] also voted number one liquor store by Readers of the Sun this week publication.

[29:08] Um, as Paul mentioned, our Galaxy store was remodeled. It was completed in June.

[29:13] Um, they removed the tasting bar, some wooden wine racks. We added some brighter lights to make a more open um,

[29:20] welcoming area for our customers to shop.

[29:27] More achievements. 11 team members have earned their WCT level one certification in spirits. This is important. so they

[29:35] can gain the knowledge to provide higher quality customer service to our customers.

[29:44] With the challenges in our market right now, we've really focused on experimenting with new promotional and

[29:51] advertising strategies. Um, we've added a lot of new promotional features to show value to our customers. We've also

[29:58] ventured into some new advertising strategies such as billboards along I35 and 77.

[30:05] Get a little more exposure. Staffing developments. We've had some

[30:11] staff changes in the last couple months. Um Josh Herman was previously our Galaxy

[30:16] assistant, moved into the heritage store manager position. Kyle Munt was a full-time lead who moved into the Galaxy

[30:23] assistant manager position. Diane Vzley was a full-time lead at Heritage who

[30:28] moved to the Galaxy assistant manager. We hired Daniel Morsy from Weisetta Municipal Liquors. He comes with a um

[30:36] background of customer service that fits perfectly with our program. And then Bryley Hansen, she was a part-time staff

[31:36] know, on the with the sales issue, I know that's a national issue with some of the declining sales issues and

[31:41] challenges there. And I just want to applaud you and your team for kind of the scrappy uh marketing strat. I love

[31:46] the billboard on on 35. It it really stands out. Um and also I think

[31:52] something without a without much fanfare was when you changed your logo uh to to incorporate the city logo and I I just

[31:58] applaud you on that as well. I think it looks great. I think it plays into the community nature of the liquor. So
