So essentially uh council member Jason Johnson um resigned leaving a vacancy a vacancy was declared on September 18th 24 um her State Statute 41 2.02 subdivision 2A um the vacancy could be appointed by the city council because the vacancy occurred after the last filing for the last regular election so even though the the vacancy was declared prior to the election the filing period had already passed and so this V or this term will be for the rest of that term which expires on the first Monday of January 2027 and then this week will be up for re-election in the 2026 general election.

funds from the relief the fire department relief Association and these are put into a special fund um they're putting this fund 28 so that we could track these expenditures and essentially we could save them um so each year we've uh got a donation from the Relief Associations and then we do cheack these expenses and so um we can use them for special purposes.

we discovered is our uh snow ordinance was unenforcable because it said um after a snowfall and so we did not receive any snow we only received ice and so it's very difficult we encouraged uh residents to move off the street not park on the street however due to the fact that our ordinance specifically said snowfall and so we are proposing that we change snowfall to winter weather event.

I think the key is and I just would say this for everybody in the room staff councel and and the public you know getting the word out about a change like this putting it on the city's website things like that um that's kind of the key um it's almost more important than how you reword it to be a little bit clearer which this does but sort of getting the word out that folks are expected not to park on uh certain streets during during a winter events even if they just lead to ice and they don't leave snow on the ground that's that's kind of the key.

how much of a problem is this when creating as one more rules to address a few situations there is just a lot of situations where people are making it difficult difficult to follow I lived in St Paul for 17 years so I'm pretty familiar with how they have very organized systematic way of roving snow by the hour... is it really necessary to go after a lot of people and find them in the town's size um and how much of a problem is it really.

the main reason for the request is a safety hazard because when there was Ice our P trucks couldn't even move forward because they didn't have any traction and so we're actually very thankful that more that no vehicles were hit by P tracks because our P trucks had to go backwards um they had to go in revers through the entire city um because they couldn't get traction so they put salt down first so that they could get over it.

with these new license rals they'seen um a big boost in customers and paperwork that process the printer working on now that we home we have buy all the and for it all us um it's getting up there in years is also make terrifying noise when it prints soci start to show it age.

the city's been in talk with Ops regarding future or indexation agreements or indexation agement um just identif Parcels to make poal anation easier in the future um there is no room at this time it's just kind of a concept um it's kind of City practice to designate a future land use to any Parcels that we have plans to Annex in the future or have subject to OAS.

the official map was created in 2004 when a North Main interchange was being considered at that time... but recently the city has been approached by a developer to develop a portion of property portion of the city and and this does good portion of that property so would make it difficult for them if not impossible to develop that.

these three whereases dealing with the north uh end of town North Maine uh and 52 understand that these wear asses are just saying what the facts are these are not agreement points or commitments by the city these are facts about what the city has been told what city staff what Craig and Elizabeth have been told by mindat about mind's intentions.

no no because that would be far and that that would be that would be too close to the the existing about this because now we're liting where we're going to put our north bound southbound and nor access for the on that point that is indicated that studying would need to be and so any any interchange reest so even if it's we did and that was all that land in the middle they could together offs with roundabouts and everybody be happy that and correct corre.
