The existing phase 50, we're proposing that to be 100. Commercial kennel licenses from 70 to 75. Alarm registrations going from 20 to 25. And remember those are the police alarms, not fire. So later on we have a different agenda item that deals with fire alarms. Not the same thing.

a dangerous dogan animal, the definition, and it's it's got a there's sort of a two-tiered system where there's a a designation of a potentially dangerous dog that, um, uh, has a definition and then has certain requirements for an owner to to maintain the dog. And then further a dangerous dog which is which is more than that but all it just for potentially dangerous dog means a dog that when unprovoked inflicts a bite on a human or domestic animal...

I have been an operator of of... And your name? Oh, I'm sorry. Adam Leer. Um, I live in Orno, but I was a former Minnitankka resident. Uh, and then I've done business uh, in Minnitonka for years with Barbecq Holdings. Um, as a parent company that owned Famous Daves, as well as this restaurant we're speaking of. Um, and I'll reference somebody else that I have done business all over the world. Uh, but specifically in Minnesota, and you guys run a top tier organization.

I personally love having Famous Daves in Minnetonka and uh and I know that um we're a reasonable customer because I've been to several meetings um dur over the years where we uh we serve your food and it's always uh well done.

This year's outstanding delinquent utility collections are $324,9549. Um, along with $4,125 of delinquent fire alarm response fees. Um, so a little bit of background on the process and some of these numbers here. Um, all the accounts to be certified have been all of the account owners, property owners, and customers have been notified in writing...

The project is on Minnitankka Boulevard from Tonka Wood Road to the marsh just to the west of us currently. Um just a little bit of background on the trail improvement plan. So in 2018, the city added a gas franchise fee to accelerate some of the improvements um and work on more trail projects at that time.

More walkability and bikeability um safely is to me a big priority and I think it's our community survey indicates that that is very consistent with you know the needs and kind of wants of our residents. So, while I certainly respect the resident who wrote and um and he made some fair points, um I think the public safety aspects of getting this trail done and having having a completed trail where you can walk can walk, run or bike conveniently and comfortably from highway 101 all the way um to the marsh and to the by extension the city center. I think is tre I mean it's an it's it's an expensive trail but it adds significant utility to our trail system and really benefits our residents.

I would just like to point out that actually from the Grace Bay boat launch, there is a trail that already starts, which is near my home, that'll be able to take people all the way continuously from that segment around all the way to 101 and Minnetonka Boulevard and then down and pass. So, this really is a a significant thing that I am very happy about as the W 3 uh member for for uh W 3 residents to have this safe access and not having to cross uh Minnetonka Boulevard...

About a decade ago, the city council adopted a long-term bonding um and rates bonding plan in and rates that support ongoing um costs required to keep the city's aging infrastructure um in appropriate working order. And so, under this plan, this is about a decade ago, we've issued 37.5 million in bonds since 2015.

Piper Sandler uh based here in the Twin Cities was the winning bidder with a true interest cost of 3.53%. Not quite the 1%ish that you had in uh 2021, but those were historically low rates. We'll probably never see those low rates again. and 3 and a half% for 20 years is still awfully good and is definitely a direct result from your AAA credit rating with with Moody's.

I saw that the resolution had blank amounts and I am so excited that our uh interest rate is so low. The the whole premium thing is also very um reassuring and um so I just I want to thank staff. We always take credit up here for strong financial management, but um it's it's our um administrators and our finance department that do that great work for us to get that AAA bond rating.

She had a great-look application and she's a delightful young lady and uh, she's very interested in being part of our DEI commission. So, with that, I will make the motion um, to approve her appointment and I'm hoping I can get a second.
