There it is. You got it? Action. Okay. There we go. All right, let's go ahead and call this city council meeting to order on July 14th, 2026 at 7:00 PM. In attendance this evening we have council members Anderson, Bross, Eklund, and Ottum, in addition to Mayor Jennings, our city administrator, our legal counsel, and our city engineer, and our city planner. With that, can I get a motion to approve tonight's agenda? I'll make a motion. I'll make a motion-- Oh, go ahead. I'll make a motion to approve tonight's agenda. I'll second. It's competitive tonight. I'll give you a split screen. It's got a motion from Anderson, second from Eklund. Any further discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed. Motion passes unanimously. That takes us to item number four, which is our consent agenda. Tonight that consists of the minutes of June 23rd, 2026 from the regular city council meeting, the minutes of June 23rd, 2026 for the city council work session, the June claims, the 2026 election informational, and the SLMPD June 2026 report, which is also informational. Is there anything that needs to be pulled for further discussion? Hearing nothing, can I get a motion? Go ahead, Jim. I'll make a motion to approve tonight's consent agenda items four A, B, C, D, and E. I'll second it. We've got a motion from Anderson, second from Bross. Any further discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed. Motion passes unanimously. That takes us to item number five. This is the portion of the meeting if there's anyone here who would like to address the council on anything otherwise not on the agenda. If you could please just approach the podium, state your name and address for the record, and limit your time to five minutes, please. Hey, everyone. Just wanted to reintroduce myself. I'm Danny Gillis. My family and I live at 125 Pleasant Lane East. Just real quick, just wanted to start by saying I appreciate you guys taking the time to revisit the tree removal item and adding it to the agenda tonight. Just wanted to take an opportunity to communicate again our concerns regarding the trees. I happened to be out there when the city was getting one of the quotes on the trees, and so I just spoke with one of the owners of Statement Tree Care. And I just asked him, I said, "Just be honest with me. If this were your house or your family, how worried would you be? Not worried?" And he paused for a second and just said, "I don't want to panic you, but I'd be worried." And I was like, "Okay." So I just, again, really short, but I just wanted to reemphasize that. And I understand there's budget considerations and all that, but just wanted to reemphasize that it is a risk to my family's safety right now, because it really just takes one bad storm to knock them down. And it's not fun to think about giant trees falling on your family. But like I said, I know at the end of the day, it's your guys' decision on how you handle it and approach it. So I just wanted to take another opportunity to reemphasize our concerns and just once again say we appreciate you guys revisiting the topic. So yeah. All right. That's all I have. Thank you. Yeah. All right. Anyone else? Going once, going twice. All right, we'll go ahead and move on to public hearings, of which tonight we have none. Takes us to item number seven, which is special business. And tonight, the Excelsior Fire District Fire Chief, Nate Bassinger, is here to talk to the council. So welcome. It's all yours. All right. Mr. Mayor, council members, and staff, thanks for having me out this evening. Just wanted to give a quick update on where we're at for our budget proposal for 2027. We had a relatively easy budget process this year compared to some of the large capital expenditures we had last year. Really our big push for 2027 is kind of completing our staffing plan. So getting our third battalion chief hired and then completing the step increases for firefighter pay, getting them up to $24 an hour. So that makes up the majority of the operations increase that we have, as well as 3% for full-time staff increase. As you can see, our capital is pretty much negative across the board, just because coming off last year with large capital expenditures, we didn't have a whole lot this year. We do have a few things in our capital budget this year that we need to get fixed in 2027, such as the flat roofs on our fire station, some computer hardware upgrades, and a couple other smaller items. The majority of the building improvements and work that needs to be done are part of a bigger discussion on a bonding proposal that we're continuing to work on. But otherwise, this year, depending on how that plays out, our number's going to be in the low single-digit percentages for an increase this year. We might have to add a couple things depending on how the bonding conversation goes, but overall, we're looking at at least below 5%, but hopefully closer to that 3% number. With that... You bet Or just show us the column headings. Oh, sorry. There we go. Oh, there we go. Is that better? We're row eight. Is that it? Yeah. That's good. Yeah, that's good. That's good. Thank you. Yep. So yeah, Tonka Bay would be row eight, the 0.52% increase for this year as it stands right now. So, with that, I'll be happy to take any questions. So, real quick one. Just because we're dealing with the bonding stuff on the police side too. Yeah. Is that already baked into these numbers, or is that potentially baked in later down the road? We don't have any bonding payments figured into the budget right now. We had been on the fire side anticipating that starting in 2028. So, depending on when the bonding might start, we might have to make some adjustments here. Okay. And I know that's still being discussed actively too. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Anybody else have anything? No. No. Anybody? All right. Easy peasy. All right. Thank you. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Okay, that takes us to item number eight, which is old business, and that would be tree removal. So, I know when we last discussed this, kind of the ongoing thing that we're dealing with here. So two meetings ago, we had talked about three sets of trees, and then the meeting after that, we talked about a different set of three trees that I thought was the very first set of trees that we were talking about. It turns out it wasn't. So, hoping to just kind of figure out where we are, what things look like, what conversations look like. And I know I've been emailing everyone too about, I think part of this is we need to come up with a comprehensive plan. We had a comprehensive tree plan some time ago, but anyway, it sounds like we should re-tee that up and have that conversation as well. But why don't we tackle the first items from June 1st? So one of the reasons that the 125 Pleasant Lane East quotes weren't included in that kind of first go-round of the 35 Pleasant Lane and Northrop County Road 19, was that those are quite a bit more severe and significant tree removal process, and you can kind of see that on the quotes. There are upwards of 85 and $8,800 to remove just those two trees, versus the 1,700 and 2,200. And we did not have the quotes at the time that we brought those first two sets of trees to the council. So certainly, some of the challenge right here is you've got a budgeted item of 3,500, but you've got almost 12,700 between all three sets of trees that need to be addressed. Certainly, I think a longer-term plan about doing an inventory and an understanding of which trees have significant urgency and severity. But certainly, the question today is how do you want to manage the three sets of trees that we have in front of us and with the budget constraints that we have as well? So I just want to level set. All right, so we're looking at, so we got 125 Pleasant, which is what we initially discussed two meetings ago. Then we've got 35 Pleasant, which we discussed at the last meeting, correct? Those are the two different locations? Yes. Am I understanding that correctly? Well, you've got three locations. So you've got the 35 Pleasant Lane East, North Rope and County Road 19, and 125 Pleasant Lane East. And which set of trees did we discuss first? Well, the initial discussion was all three sets. But when we brought the quotes back, it was the 35 Pleasant Lane and Northrop County Road 19, just because we had those quotes on hand. Oh, okay. So I see- We were waiting for quotes for 125 Pleasant Lane East. That's why this is the first time. We had one quote that was actually included in those. So CJS actually quoted all three sets of trees, but we didn't have that second quote for that 125 Pleasant Lane East at the time. That's why we didn't bring that to council at that time. Mm-hmm. So that's why we're presenting. Normally, we would not have included those bottom two other than the conversation about timing and budget. Is the 125 Lane East the trees this gentleman's talking about? Yes. Okay. Are those two different quotes then? Mm-hmm. Yes. Okay. And we've been able to identify which ones are on private property and which ones are on public property? Yes. There's three dead trees in that area. One of them is on private property and two of them are on public property. And this quote represents The two The two Okay. So we're looking at the low bid here, if I'm understanding then correctly, is the 8,500 bid? Yes. Right? And can we get a better price at all if we went with CJSP Service for all three? That I'm not sure of. Okay. They're the high bidder on all three. Yeah. They are, but if we gave them the work on all of it. Just curious. And again, just so I'm understanding, because the two below then, we've got the one that says 35 Pleasant Lane, and then we also have the one that says Northrop and County Road 19. Those are the same trees? Are we taking a look at three separate places? Three separate places, three separate sets of trees. Okay. So now we have more trees then. Did Tongan's give us a bid on the 125 Pleasant? No, because it was beyond their capability. Okay. So when we last met, because when we last met, what we approved was 3,700. We approved both of the 35 Pleasant and Northrop then? Yes. Okay, so it's three different locations, but okay, two different numbers. Okay, I got it. Okay. Well- 22, 32 ... I guess there's a few different ways that we can take a bite of this apple. We could leave what we approved last time standing and take care of those trees. Granted, we are outside of budget. We could make a motion, since we formally passed a motion in the last meeting, and I don't believe we've signed that contract or moved forward. Is that correct? Correct. We're in a position where we could formally make a motion rescinding that bid and doing the other project, which would also be significantly out of budget at that point, or we would have the option of doing both, essentially. And all together, we're looking at, what? In excess of 10,000 on this? Yeah, just south of 13,000. The low bid for all three equals $12,453. There's our 12. Yeah, I'm coming up with 12,200 roughly, a little north of that. So just south of 13 is what you were saying, right? Yeah. Where do we stand? Where are we at on our tree survey that we had done a number of years ago? Have we taken a look at that? Yeah. I don't know where it stands. Have we taken a look at the old draft on that at all? That was out there. Is that a county thing? Yeah, we had a tree survey done. This is years ago. Where they GPS'd each tree, is that- It was something that Todd was spearheading, and because I wanted the opportunity to talk about this a little holistically, because we now have had a number of trees that just sort of have come forward, and I don't know what we're looking at citywide. And if we had a tree survey, I'm just worried that we're going to just be one-offing projects, and these might not even be the highest concern trees throughout the city, and how are we developing and determining order on this? Well, I think what staff has been doing is that as trees die and become a danger, they're removing them. If we're in a project area, the last project, we cleared a lot of ash trees that were not necessarily diseased yet, but we knew that they were going to be diseased because the ash borer has infested the city. And so working with Todd, we identified many trees to be removed on those project areas. And because we had a quote with the contractor, the city got very favorable rates for removing those trees. We would likely propose to do similar on the next one, but we'll have detailed information on that when we complete the feasibility. And I think the unfortunate position that the city is in, and every city is in, is when a tree dies on your property, you're sort of obligated to remove it, in the same way that if there's a dead tree on private property, the code enforcement folks would likely require them to remove it. Are the two trees at 125 Pleasant, are they... Can I ask? Yeah. Are they big trees or, I haven't looked at them. I think- I went over and I couldn't figure out which one was. Yeah. They're on either side of the drive that goes up- Okay ... to, I guess, if you're looking at 125 to the right of our house. Okay. That's what- And then they're, I guess, yay big around and 30, 40-ish, 40 to 50 feet tall. And they're dead. Yeah. One is, it's white, like bark is white. Okay. Have we identified anything in the budget where we can potentially pull from that could help cover the additional expense on this? Yeah. I think, we've got a spot where, in our streets budget, in the general fund, we haven't used all of that budget, and we've actually been pulling street budget from water and sewer when we've managed some of those repairs. So there is some excess availability in that streets fund. And that one's, I believe, at 30,000. I hate to do it, but our reserves are looking healthier, too. Well, should we just go ahead and do all of it? Yeah. Or does anybody have any thoughts? Yep. All right. That sounds like a general consensus. Well, all right. Well, if that's the case, we've already approved 35 Pleasant and the Northrop and 19. So, just based on head shakes and things like that, I would say let's go ahead and make a motion to approve this one. We'll unfreeze that previous order, get it all pushing forward. But one of the things that I would like to try and do for the upcoming budget is factor in dollars for a tree survey throughout the city. And I think everybody... I don't know if this may have gotten forwarded to everyone, but what I was thinking was let's do a tree survey of the city, especially because I know ash has entered and we have dead trees everywhere, and identify them on a red, yellow, green sort of scorecard. And that'll give us a sense for what the scope of the work is, and then we can put that number into the budget during our upcoming conversations here in the next month and a half and set money aside to make sure that we're prepared and adequately taking these things down going forward. Is that- Yeah. And if they hadn't been GPS, the last tree survey, I think it would be a helpful tool for staff to have the GPS survey so that different trees identified as on public or private property. Is that something, would we subcontract out for that, or is that something that- No, we have arborists on staff that would do that work. Okay. So I'll bring a proposal for that and a budget number for Max that can work into the budget next year. And that'll give us a sense, too, for what the proposed cost would be on- Exactly. Okay. Because I'm thinking of the cost of the survey itself, but then- The cost of the survey- But then also the cost for- Yeah. Okay. And dealing with the answers. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And I would... When I was in Bloomington, we came up with a budget for annual tree removals based on the expected growth of the ash borer die-off. And so here's a question then, too. And I know this is probably more of a budgetary question, but just out of curiosity, if we were able to identify a significant number of trees, can you contract- Yes ... and get a better price to take out trees en masse as opposed to- What we did in Bloomington is we had an annual contract. We divided the city into four segments, and we had contracts for each of the four areas for essentially ad hoc tree removal. And because that person, we would share the tree condition surveys with them, and they could see how much work they anticipated, and then it'd be sort of a sole source, open-ended contract that they were on call. But you got a very good price because they knew that they would be counting on a certain amount of work from you. Got it. And then as part of that, can we include the potential cost of tree replacement as well? Is that- We could talk about tree replacements as well. You could go so far... So Bloomington went so far as to do, and I'm not recommending this, but they went so far as to do private tree removal that would be assessed to the homeowner. So they would have to sign a petition of waiver so that the city would... Because some of these trees could be, as you see, $5,000, $10,000 trees, as a way of helping folks finance the tree ... removal process, they do a petition waiver, and then it would be assessed against the property, and they pay it on their property taxes plus whatever interest. It's usually interest plus 2% is what would get charged to them as a financing it to your residents if you wanted to do that. But yes, you could build in tree planting as well. Planting is usually a different contractor, though. Mm-hmm. But you could also put together a tree program that either, again, Bloomington would give away saplings every spring. Mm-hmm. And then you could establish a contract with a nursery to provide low-cost trees for people to plant themselves, or full-service planting in the right of way if you wanted to. But that's a whole nother discussion of what do you want to have in your right of way. Yeah. One, I think we would have to be thoughtful about it, because the two things that I think of when I think of Tonka Bay is, one, I think people value trees, and it really is part of our community and who we are. But then, secondly, a lot of these trees weren't even planted to begin with. Right. Some of them coming down might make sense, but others might come down, and it could really impact the aesthetic as well. Mm-hmm. So I just want to be thoughtful about that, and we can have that conversation on another day. It sounds like right now we just need to approve an invoice. Are we looking at the three lowest bids on this? Yes. We've already approved these. Yeah. I know we have those. So I think the one where we just need to approve that one right there. Yeah. So want to take a swing? All right. I'll make a motion approving the 2026 quote from Statement Tree Care for the removal of trees at 125 Pleasant Lane East for $8,553.95. I'll second the motion. All right. We've got a motion from Anderson, second from Bross. Any further discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed? Motion passes unanimously. So, all right. More to come on that then. So item number 9, new business. First of which is Resolution 2026-12, approving a subdivision of 75 Birch Bluff Road. Lori, it's all yours. Thank you, Mayor and Council. You saw this item at your last meeting, and as you know, the City Council sees these item land use applications twice. So at the first meeting, you held a public hearing and made a motion, and now we're asking you to approve the resolution for this. I won't go over through my whole staff report again, but this is a pretty simple minor subdivision, or simple subdivision is what it's called in the ordinance. Adria Sasek-Haenas is proposing to split 75 Birch Bluff into two lots that meet all ordinance requirements for lot size and width. Structure was removed on the home already. We're charging park dedication fees for this of $3,825. And then some of the conditions of approval are pertinent to the easements that we're requiring, the park dedication. Other than that, they're standard conditions of approval. So with that, I'll conclude my comments. I have no questions. Anybody else? Mm-mm. No. Nothing. Jeff? Resolution requires a roll call vote. Yep. I'll make a motion approving Resolution 2026-12, approving the simple subdivision request and associated... Cripes, I can barely talk. I'm going to start that all over again. Okay. I'm going to make a motion approving Resolution 2026-12, which is approving the simple subdivision request at the property known as 75 Birch Bluff Road, following the conditions one through five included in the packet. I'll second the motion. Got a motion from Anderson, second from Bross. Any further discussion? Mm-mm. Can I get a roll call, please? Council Member Anderson? Aye. Council Member Bross? Aye. Council Member Ecklund? Aye. Council Member Farber? Aye. Mayor Genrich? Aye. Motion passes unanimously. All right. So that takes us to item 9B. Congratulations, by the way. Thank you for coming out. Yeah. I just assumed. Rescheduling August 11th council meeting? Yep. There's a primary election on that day. Oh, duh. Yeah. Can't have a public meeting at the same time you have an election. Mm. So looking at, we could either do it on a Monday, the 10th, Wednesday the 12th, or potentially either the 14th or 18th, depending on probably when you may want to. I'm open both days. I can make anything work. The 10th or the 12th works for me. I would say the 12th would be great. The 12th is actually easier. Yeah, the 12th would be. Just switch it to the 12th? I'm just trying to think if there's any fire board meetings, because that's a Wednesday, right? Mm-hmm. Do you know if we have anything? That's actually one of the Wednesdays- I think it might be ... that we don't have that. Okay. We certainly have time to, if we had to reschedule it again. Because I believe our meeting for tomorrow, it's typically that third week of- Oh, that's true. Okay. That should do it. 12th works for me. That should be good. All right. I imagine since we published this at the beginning of the year, I believe we need a formal motion to make the change. I'll make a motion. Moving the August 11th 2026 city council meeting to August 12th 2026. Same time, same place. I'll second that motion. We've got a motion from Anderson, second from Bross. Any further discussion? No. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Those opposed? Motion passes unanimously. That takes us to item number 10, which is matters from the floor, part two. There is no longer anyone here with us to speak, which takes us to item number 11, which is reports. Max. Yep. So both the fire district and police department really in the heart of budget season, talking about the bonding and the capital improvement projects. Specifically that the large building capital expense, that's that 10-year CIP. We've done a lot of great work with fire and police and, along with Carlos Anderson, coming up with some bonding scenarios and what that might cost, and a scope of project. So there's a lot of good work that's happening there. Obviously, the next thing for the city is working on our budget meetings coming up, between Janelle and Todd and I, we're kind of triangulating on getting ready to present that to everybody next Tuesday. Doing some good work there. As far as some of the issues with the city, we've actually, because of the storms, had some internet outages. Mm-hmm. Which has actually kind of forced us to create some redundant systems with internet to make sure that we've got the capability, whether we've got MediaCom or a different version of that. So we're actually working with FirstNet to come up with a 5G wireless system that, like I said, gives us some redundant internet to be able to work in the office and as we manage all of those activities today, it's pretty hard to manage an office without internet. So, those are the biggest things. All right. Anybody? John. I have a couple of three things. For the 27 feasibility report, we're having an open house on Thursday, July 23rd, to collect input from residents about concerns they may have in the project area that we can address in the feasibility stage. That'll be followed up when we're about 90% complete with the feasibility of having another open house to show folks what the project looks like before we present the final to council, hopefully here last of August, 1st of September. Hmm. Is that the map we got in the mail? Yes. Did everyone in the city receive that? No. So it was just the council members who- Well, it was council members, it was everybody who lived on one of the streets. And then I included the area surrounding Lakeview, because that's a neighborhood that will be entirely affected by construction, with trucks and noise and all of the- Everything down Tonka Bay Road. Yeah, pretty much. Got it. Yes. So I got that letter. Yes. But the map that was referenced inside that letter wasn't there, and I thought maybe it was just an oversight- Oh, really? ... on that one. But just as an FYI, I don't know if anyone else got anything else. Did anybody else- I got a map. You got a map? So it might've just been mine. Might've been a printing error. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Clerk or- Yeah. I know. Because I got a map and- Right. It was supposed to be a front back. I got my two sheets. Oh, you got two pages? I got two pages. Okay. Me too. I just got the one. Huh. I should have brought it. Did you turn it over? I didn't. Well, I think it said- Actually, my wife was like, "Where's the map?" I seem to recall it said turn it over to see the map. Yeah. Yeah. We looked. All right. The trail at the south end of Lila Lane will begin construction next Monday. It'll take a week or less to complete that, and then we shall be complete on our project. Good deal. And then at the next council meeting on the 28th, Minnesota Department of Health is going to make a presentation on your well head protection plan. We're in the renewal phase of that. So part one is sort of all the technical details, which is what the Department of Health is going to make a presentation on. No bad surprises at all in their report. And then phase two is all of the public engagement pieces and filing of paperwork that goes on with the second half of well head protection. It's something you have to do every 10 years, I believe. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Actually, you just answered my question. Never mind. So. That's all I've got. All right. Thank you. Bridget? No update Anything. All right. Jeff? No report, Mr. Mayor. Doug? I have no report. Cathy? No. Kevin? I did want to just bring something up, just for people to think about. Over the weekend, I was looking at some of the stuff related to Tonka Bay, and I noticed that specifically in 1901, Tonka Bay was founded. Some additional supporting documentation out there said September 11th, 2001, Tonka Bay was founded. And I know we've talked about ways to communicate with the public, and I know the Parks department is talking about trying to figure out ways to engage people in what they're planning next year. But it made me think that coming up, possibly September 11th, 25 years after 9/11, but also 125 years after our founding, I was wondering if there might be a reason to have some sort of open house here. Maybe ask police and fire to come and maybe do something outside. Maybe have our three food vendors come. Just a thought if we wanted to engage the public in things like possible future projects, if anyone's interested, what we're doing with infrastructure, what the Parks department has planned. Maybe just have some, I don't even know, just presentations or people can walk by and just look at what's on the horizon, what we've done, some of our wins. Because a lot of people just aren't in the loop, except for the people, obviously, that watch the meetings. When- But it was just a thought. It just seemed interesting that it's 25 years after 9/11, our 125th anniversary, and that's if what I saw online was accurate, that September 11 is the actual date. But I know that it says that in 1901 we were founded in September. It might be September 17. But it just seemed like a good opportunity to make a lot of the things that we've been talking about available to the public for Q&A. This year or next year? This year. This year. This September. Yeah, my concern would be planning at this point. And that's why we can make it pretty simple, too. Yeah. We don't have to get too crazy. I know that the Parks department is already putting together some presentations on what they're planning on doing. I know that we've had a lot of things that Max has done and things that John has done, and then we just have some wins that we've done and what we've done in the past. Just a thought. It just seemed like since it is the 125th anniversary of Tonka Bay, and it kind of possibly coincides with the 25th anniversary of 9/11, there's an opportunity there, however we want to maybe take it. Well, you want to confer with Max- Sure ... and we'll put this on the agenda for the next work session. Sure. Talk about it a little more in depth, see what resources we would need and what form and shape that could take a look at. And I would be happy to help plan if needed, too. I can make that happen. Okay. Yeah. I'm thinking small, not big, though. Does that work? Yeah. Because we would need to communicate it, too- Yeah ... and figure out what it is we'd want to address and what the format looks like, and... It might be nice to even have the public be able to, just a thought, every 20 minutes there's a quick little tour where people can see what's happening here. Because right now it's a black box. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good idea. Have the water plant open. Yeah. Have Tom take people through. It is pretty impressive. I don't know- It is ... if you've been in there or not. When you take a look at the well, it just, it's this- It's kind of creepy in there. It really is very creepy. It's just dark and ominous, but... There might not be a lot of interest, but even if we have those three vendors that we approved for permits, they could even come and just sit in case. Mm-hmm. Just a thought. Yeah. Good idea. Okay. Did you have anything else? Nope. Nope. That's it. Yeah. You're Parks Commission? Yep. We don't hear formally much about what's going on. Are they making plans for next year, or this year, or what's going on there? Yep. They have a CIP that they've been working to, and they actually have a couple things that... What we've been doing is when we've been meeting for the Parks Commission, we've been meeting at each of the parks, and I think next week we're down at- Wakoda ... yeah, Wakoda. So we're meeting there, kind of looking at what's there. They've made some small improvements at Pleasant. We were at Manitou last week, looking at some of the plans for trees. So, there is a lot of things that they're looking at and getting built into their plan. But I think in the bylaws, they're required to come and report to council once a year. But if we need them to come more often, they'd be more than happy to come. I'd like to see them present their plan. Someone, excuse me, from the commission come in and present it- Okay. We can- ... rather than just hear about it. Yeah. I know that that's something that we are planning on doing sometime in the next month or so. Where are they with the rubber ice rink or whatever it is? The ice rink? Yeah. Last I heard, they're still getting some quotes on the liner because they're thinking about doing a liner and a freestanding, not professional rink, just so people could get skating, and still talking about the parking lot. But that may have changed, too. Okay. Yeah. Okay, John, a question. Is the end of Manitou Park, is that going to be finished paving or is that just going to stay grass, that end? Well, in the master plan for the park, it's shown as paving. Mm-hmm. I am not aware of that turning into a project yet. Okay. I just- Yep, but in the master plan, it's shown as an extension on the parking lot. Okay. That's all I have. I don't have anything. Motion to adjourn. I second the motion. Got a motion from Anderson, second from Ross. Any further discussion? Nope. All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Those opposed. Motion passes unanimously at 7:43 PM. That was quick. That was a quick one.
