The first um item is to approve the agenda. Are there any revisions or corrections to the agenda? If not, can I get a motion to approve the agenda? >> So moved. >> Second. We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Those opposed, same sign. >> Agenda is approved. Next, we have the approval of the minutes from our last council meeting. Minutes were from August 10th, 2026. Are there any revisions or corrections to the meeting minutes? hearing. Uh, none. I'll take a motion to approve. >> Some move. Second. >> We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Those opposed, same sign. >> The minutes are approved. Next up, we have uh visitor comments. And so we have time on our agenda for uh visitor comments on any agenda item. Uh any item that is on our current agenda. Do we have any uh members of the audience who would like to come forward and speak on any agenda item? Right. Seeing none, we have general visitor comments. Do we have any visitors in the audience who would like to make a general visitor comment? Right. Seeing none, we will move on to the approval of our consent agenda items. The consent agenda items are on pages 7 through 11 in our packets. And we tonight we're approving on our consent agenda the following uh employee appointments. Amy Cam, maintenance superintendent. Uh Samuel Pledo, police patrol officer. Uh Bolton and Mech is authorized to provide construction services for the 2026 North for Street improvements. The SK and then the schedule of dispersements for August 7th, 2026 through August 20th, 2026. Are there any uh comments or questions on the consent agenda? >> Uh council member Dvas. >> Yeah, I have a question. Well, basically related to construction services. Um we're approving the add the manage the contract uh for construction services, but construction has already started on it. Correct. >> Is this something that should have been done before we started construction? >> It would have been fantastic had we done that. However, a lot of the construction services can occur really started today and so there's ample time. This is a lot of making sure that the quantities are right. Making sure that staking is appropriate. Make sure that the right amount of thickness all of those types of things are done. And then the wrap paperwork as it relates to the contract. Have the appropriate been counted. Is it the right unit price? Those types of activities. And maybe most importantly, ensuring that it's built according to specifications or if there's a need for a change to the specifications that it's rational, reasonable will help the project follow through. Any other questions? If not, I will take a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> So moved. Second. >> Have a motion in a second. Um, we will take a roll call vote. Go ahead, Kesha. >> Council member Wenfeld. >> I. >> Council member Zstrom. >> I. >> Council member Devos. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> I. >> The consent agenda is approved. Next up, we have unfinished business, which there is no unfinished business. So, we're going to move on to new business. And the first item of new business is the Co North development agreement. And Todd, are you taking this one? >> I'm taking this one. I'm sorry Ben isn't here tonight. Um, and I know you talked all of you had the opportunity to speak to Ben about this and he's articulated some of the main points here. Um, let me go through a few items that I think are major important to you. First of all, the request tonight is for you to approve a resolution that allows the mayor and the city administrator to enter into a development agreement with CO North. As many of you know, Coor is a not for profit that's located in Minnesota. Its home bases in Minnesota. Its primary mission over the past more than a decade has really been in the acquisition of troubled manufactured housing communities and developing them into a co-op model where residents of the neighborhood are folks that manage, own, and make sure to take care of the the spot that they're in. You'll see there are a few timelines that we mentioned here, but at least from my perspective, and um council members, you might remember this as well. This is a project that you've been talking about and working on for a couple of years now. Um really, the development agreement outlines the stuff that's necessary to make sure that we understand and they understand what the other party is looking for as a part of this new type of subdivision. Um this is a high density neighborhood, um more dense than you've seen in previous neighborhoods. It will be um it will be composed of city-owned infrastructure. So the streets and the storm water, the w water, sewer, all of those kind of things will be owned by the city. Um which is different than what we see in um some neighborhoods that you have within our community, but much more similar. In fact, exactly like the other housing subdivisions that you have like Traverse Green, Nicola Meadows, Standard Subdivision, and others. So, it follows that pattern. It will be owned by the co-op. So, the residents will be members of that co-op. And so, they'll make decisions related to the operations of the neighborhood and how lots are leased or not leased, how that works, and they'll be supported by Conor. One of Conor North strengths, of course, has been to help these other entities um have governance skills and managerial skills in making this move forward. So, we're excited about that. This will be facility built housing and so it will be housing that is largely manufactured not necessarily built to stick on site and so that does a number of things for us including creates additional affordability along with the density and one of the council's goals related to housing has certainly been to reach as far as we can to ensure that workforce and affordable housing is available for the entire community and frankly for folks that want to come to your community and network and live here. Um, so that's really important and so we'll be meeting some of the price points that have been discussed previously in meeting that entry levelvel marketplace. Um, we'll own the sidewalks, will own the streets, the curb and gutters. So that will make sure to be um, kept up appropriately based on decisions that the council makes. Um, this is different than what we see in some other communities. Be happy to go through any of the information that's included in the packet and talk specifically about the agreement. Um, if you want, we've gone through this previously at a workshop at a high level of detail and outlined really the agreement in total. Um, including the fees that they're expected to pay, the $30,000 down that they have to provide to enter into this agreement for the city, how engineering is going to work, when do they or when does the city have the opportunity um to say we're going to stop, we're not interested in pursuing further. Um it outlines the type of housing, the approximate number of housing units. Uh we also outline and require as a part of the development agreement mortgage products that will be available to folks and we think that's been a significant issue and there's been some developments over the last year that make this more attainable. So we're excited about that. Again, um madame mayor prom and members happy to answer any questions about the development agreement. On page 51, I believe, is the um resolution um to allow the city administrator and the mayor to enter into the agreement. Again, happy to answer any questions. And there's some fantastic materials that um Co North has provided that's also in their packet that describe many of the things that they're doing and their perspective on the project overall. >> Before we take comments, do you want to just note the change on the handout development agreement? Yeah, on your desk is a is the development agreement and it is only slightly different from the development agreement that you saw at your workshop. And so that change is on page three on item number seven. This relates to the conversation about continuing to try and work towards a reduction in your fiber or carbon footprint. Um and so this provides a little bit more specificity than the previous language related to utilization of electrical connections and the requirements that stoves um water heaters and closed dryers be electric. This allows you to move forward um again and trying to reduce your carbon footprint within this neighborhood. >> Any comments or questions? Council member DVOS. >> Uh I'd just like uh thank staff for uh moving quickly in updating uh section 7. I I do appreciate them uh reaching out today and getting that and getting that fixed. So, >> any other questions or comments from council members? >> The only other comment that I'd make, Madame Mayor Prom, is that um I think it's important to note that this mixture of tools and resources is untested. This is new. These are all tools that you've used previously. They've been used in different types of applications. They've been used at different levels. It's a different kind of cake. The ingredients are there, but in different proportions compared to what you've seen previously. And so I think one of the things that's interesting and and at least a few of you have commented to me that it's interesting maybe to be on the forefront in this kind of area meeting these affordability and workforce opportunities much like you were previously with Nicola Meadows Washington Terrace and Traverse Green which have worked out very well for the community. So, I think that's not unimportant and I think it does provide opportunity for some of the grant resources that we talked about within the body of the memo and are anticipating through Minnesota Housing Finance, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund and others. >> Well, and I think we did our due diligence as a council. We talked about this for months and um you know it really is good governance to kind of question something new, question the location, talk about it in depth and um I appreciate the discussions that we had together and and where we're at right now. And um I think this will be a great addition to our community. That was never in question. We all agreed on that. And uh yes. So um without further ado, we will um consider their resolution approving a development agreement with CO North for the new north development. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Oh, I had my hand up. I'm sorry. I think it is worth noting um for anyone who's listening or who has been following this for the last year now. Um, we did look at lots of different locations >> and at the end of the day, we as a council agreed that we wanted to do this project for affordability. What we didn't agree upon was where we were going to do it. And simply put, after looking at all of the other viable options, this was the most appropriate fit because we've owned the land for so long. And I think it's important for people or anyone who's viewing this to know all other options would have required us to raise taxes to fund this project. >> Thank you. Any other comments or questions? >> Todd, what's our ongoing financial liability with this? >> Your ongoing financial liability will be just like you have really with any other subdivision. Um, so you'll be responsible for plowing and maintaining the streets and seal coating the streets and doing all those things like you do in any other subdivision. I guess my question is more so we're we're donating the land for this and then we're providing them several loans in relation to um >> development and infrastructure. Is there anything beyond that? >> No, there really isn't anything beyond that besides the commitment to assist in applications for grants and those types of things. So, one could argue there's a little bit of a cost to be write a letter, those types of things, but >> yeah, nothing that significant. And I mean the primary funding source for this will be under Minnesota statute 429 where Cone North uh the co-op um is assessed for the street, sewer, sidewalks, all of those kind of things. Again, just like really any other subdivision that you've put together over the last 15 or 20 years. >> Any other questions or comments before we Okay. Um, the resolution approving the development agreement with Cone North is on pages 50 and 51 of the packet. Do I have a motion to approve? >> So move. >> Second. >> We have a motion in a second. Uh, call the role, please. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> I. >> Council member Devos. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> Hi. >> Council member Wisel. >> I. >> Resolution is approved. All right. Next we have the wastewater treatment plant switchge gear replacement and we have Pete here to talk to us about that. >> City council um before you you have a request uh to replace a switch gear transfer switch uh at the wastewater plant. As you guys know, we use the wastewater plant uh to treat water that goes to the Minnesota River. Uh we also have backup generation [snorts] which we rely on heavily to uh help us load shed during the summertime to try to keep our peak and coincidental peak with our electrical provider at its lowest point that we can possibly manage. Uh during a June event, as you know, when we had all that hot weather right around the fourth, um the unit did fail and it causes some concerns because we didn't know what level of loss we were going to have. Um, we had some electrical panels that did go out. Uh, we had Ziggler down here to take a look at it. Of course, it runs the Ziggler CAT uh, generating unit. That's a 2 megawatt unit. Uh, so it's very important to our, uh, portfolio. Um, they looked at it, uh, said that you could probably get parts. Don't know how long they would last. If we could get parts, they'd be used. uh we need a different level of dependability in order to make this facility operate the way we need it to. Uh so what we did is we went through the Sourcewell competitive purchasing um process and had Ziggler supply a new transfer switch and switch gear as part of that price which seems to be the best overall fit for us. Um, and so what we wanted to do here tonight was authorize repair or replacement of the switch gear through Ziggler, uh, in the amount of 283,25176. Uh, we don't know exactly how we're going to pay for it yet. It's either going to be through reserves in the wastewater plant, which we have adequate funding for, or we may finance it as part of our overall finance package with a variety of other projects that we have going. Um, and I think you're aware of where that's that's uh set up to go in the process. And so at this time, we'd ask that you approve the resolution on page 54. >> Any questions or comments? >> Pete, the reason this is important is because if there happens to be maybe a big transmission failure in the region and electricity is out here. Yep. >> This is the thing that helps keep that waste water plant going, which is >> still treat waste water. Yes, sir. >> Helps keep sewage out of your basement. >> That's right. >> Yep. important stuff, >> right? >> Uh well, first I think this really is kind of a crappy resolution. [laughter] >> Oh boy. >> Um and in seriousness, um >> he gets one a meeting. >> I get one a meeting. [laughter] >> Stinks. Pete >> doesn't need a food right now. >> Um so I replacing the switch gear. Um >> [clears throat] >> Is there anything you said the generator controls are 23 years old? Are there any other parts of this that you're worried about failure uh basically >> continually? >> And so I guess looking at this from a long term uh is there from a maintenance perspective, is there any preventive stuff you can look at as far as or I I guess I'm looking at we're spending 283,000 now. What are you going to run into another problem next year that's going to cost us? >> Yeah. Not with the switch gear unit. You know, you always have software updates for your uh generation facilities. We've gone through that with our generation facility up on top of the hill. Uh we've tried to phase that in a variety of different things. You know, you're always one lightning strike away from some kind of disaster at the wastewater plant or at any any electrical facility. So, >> well, lightning strikes, that's insurance. >> [laughter] >> still still puts us in kind of dire straits, but this is the best that we can do with what we're at right now. >> I I think if I could, Pete had mentioned to me that I think a real important perspective is that as the council continues to move forward towards some major um improvements to the wastewater treatment plant replacements. You know, we talked about it being 23 to 24 years old. It needs new struts and brakes and all those things. This is the kind of stuff that will support that going forward. So, There won't be any modifications that are necessary as you move forward with the improvements that are really necessary for that wastewater treatment plant. And that's that's not a minor consideration as we do this. We'd hate to put 15 16 17 million in the wastewater treatment plant and this be wink link because we bought uh park that was used from other places, you know, and so important. >> Yeah. And I'm not questioning needing to replace. I'm just questioning do we have other things that we're concerned about at this point? Yeah, we've we we've got a plan for phasing in some of those improvements. >> Yeah. And some of that relates to the work that you've been doing with MPCA and the changes that you're looking to make going forward with that plan. >> Any other questions or comments? All right. The resolution authorizing emergency replacement of water wastewater treatment plant switch gear is on page 54. Do I have a motion to approve? >> So moved. >> Second. We have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. >> Council member Debas, >> I. >> Council member Johnson, >> I. >> Council member Pettis, >> I. >> Council member Wel, >> I. >> Council member Sh. >> I. >> Resolution is approved. Next on our agenda, it we have the front street substation switch gear upgrade. And Pete is here to talk about this one as well. >> Right. This project has been completed. This is the formality that follows most of those projects. Um, back in spring of 2024, uh, Harold Schultz was hired to make the second phase improvements of the Front Street substation. Um, as you may or may not remember, back in 2018, we did the first phase of this project and it went really well. We tra uh changed out one of the transformers at that time and uh this phase here we changed out the other transformer million dollars for six circuits that we upgraded and changed. Uh we did change out uh not only the transformer but reclosures and voltage regulators. We got the areas that were basically causing us outages because of the squirrels that would get in there. Went to a more dependable system. uh about time again the unit was old old and older. Um and uh this is a 138 um KV system and we did upgrade all six electrical circuits that feed out of that substation on the second phase and added dependability and um redistributed some of the uh load on those breakers. Uh the original contract price was $250,900 and the construction cost came in at $250,900 and so it was right on schedule. Uh Harold Schultz did a great job for us, worked really closely with Jason and his crew to get that accomplished. Uh we just recently received the asbuilts for that project and that's why we're bringing this forward to get the final project approved and the final payment to the contractor. >> Any questions or comments for Pete? Well, this was a long time coming to get to this point, the end the end uh game here. I know many of us I remember us talking about, you know, just even ordering it and having it the lead time being so long. So, this is a milestone to get to this point. The resolution accepting the switch gear improvements at the front street substation as complete and authorizing final payment is on page 56. We have a motion to approve. >> So moved. Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. >> Council member Johnson, >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> I. >> Council member Wisen. >> I. >> Council member Shro. >> I. >> Council member Deos. >> I. >> Next on our agenda, library flooring replacement project bid acceptance. >> So Ryan is here from the recreational services department, which of course includes all things recreation, including the library. And so Orion, I'll let you talk about this one which has been in the works now for a couple of years as well. >> So the uh uh obviously the library flooring is in need of replacement and um after u the uh it was out for bid burger interiors was the successful and sole bidder at a total of 100,18985. a second company called All Furniture has been secured to do the moving um of all the shelves and the library staff is taking this opportunity uh to do some rearranging as well. So, kind of getting a couple things done at once. Um and the brief schedule on that is uh they'll start Friday, September 11th, moving crew will show up. Monday the 14th, the library will still be open to the public. some areas will be closed and through the 15th, 16th, and 17th, the library will be closed to the public. Um the staff will still be able to work in there and they'll be able to do um uh people will still be able to come and pick up holds during that time. And >> so Ryan, just if I can ask, so you guys have set up a system so that if I had a book on order or I called in and said [clears throat] I wanted the latest John Gisham novel and we had it, I could come to the door and somebody would help me get it. I wouldn't have to I wouldn't get to go inside, but we'd set it up. drive-thru library >> pretty much a little bit like CO but a little more interaction. Yeah. So >> fantastic. Yeah. How great. >> And then back again uh Friday, September 18th, open to the public with some limited access and then all should be up and running the following week. >> So in total the parts of the library will be out of commission just for a few days it sounds like. >> Yeah. Yep. >> Okay. >> And what what is the communication plan >> to to the public? >> So we'll uh utilize Corey on our staff. uh she's done a great job of getting those things out to the public. Uh it'll be posted and the the library has a number of channels as well and throughout the building too. So >> So when you approve there'll be a flood of information over the next week that will go out to folks to make them aware. >> Sounds good. Any other questions or comments? Council member Damas. >> Um so well number one it's great to see it 50,000 under budget but does that include the moving or how much does the move or how much is the moving going to cost approximately? >> Yeah, good question. Um the move uh cost is $20,000 on the head. So, so basically uh 30,000 under budget. >> That's correct. >> If you keep doing that while you're here, I hope you have >> Well, [laughter] I I would love to take uh um some credit for that, but I can't. So, >> so thank you. >> Yeah. >> Any other questions or comments? If not, the resolution awarding the bid for 2026 library flooring replacement project to Burger Interiors is on page 58. Do I have a motion to approve? >> Some moved. >> Second. >> A motion and a second. Call the role, please. >> Council member Pettis. >> I. >> Council member Wenfeld. >> I. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> I. >> Council member Devos. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. Our last item of new business is city assistance requests for the St. Peter Art Stroll. >> Mayor members, the or mayor prom and members, the St. Peter art stroll has been going on for a while. Our support in this is something that we provided last year. Um the thought here was to formalize it just a little bit more. And this really includes authorizing Pete's crew to put up some specialized banners in the downtown area related to promotion of the stroll. So that they the promotion occurs a little bit before but also as a part of the art stroll. The estimated cost we think is around $500 or so. And um the request is in front of you as is a resolution providing approval on page 60. >> Any comments or questions? All right. Just want to say thank you to public works for assisting uh this uh annual event and for all the businesses that participate, including the community members that put it on the resolution authorizing city assistance for St. the St. Peter Art Stroll on September 26 to 27th, 2026 is on page 60. Do I have a motion to approve? >> So move. >> Second. >> Have a motion and a second. Call the role, please. >> Council member Wisenfeld. >> I. >> Council member Sharstrom. >> I. Council member Devos. >> I. >> Council member Johnson. >> I. >> Council member Pettis. >> Hi. >> The resolution is approved. Next on our agenda, we have reports. And as mayor prom, I just have one report. Um I attended my second meeting with the League of Minnesota Cities, our board meeting. Um and I just wanted to highlight that um dues will not increase beyond 4%. Um, as I talked about earlier, the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities dues are flat this year. Um, we found out that the league dues won't increase beyond 4%. That gets finalized later on, but at least we can budget for um what is expected. And then there's a new program with the league that um sounds really exciting. It's not just for newly elected, it's for um it's a continuing education program for all council members that want to partake. It's voluntary. It's called uh the electric electric talking a lot about electricity today. Um elected leaders institute certificate. Um more information will come out in November. Uh but it's a great opportunity to engage with the league in their learning opportunities. And then there's a certificate process and a recognition not at this upcoming league conference but the conference in 2028. And it's free. And so it's a combination of in-person learning and um online learning. And the the learning would have to take place within two years, but it can be accomplished in one year. So I think it's a great a great new program that allows us as council members to continue learning and um engaging in the resources that are available to us through these different um you know entities like the league that want to support us. And then it also helps us engage with uh the league more to see what they have available. So, I just wanted to give you all a heads up that more information will be coming out November, but that was that program was just approved. Do any council members have reports? >> I guess I just have a question. Will this be our last formal council meeting >> in this room >> in this room? >> Yeah. >> Um, hang tight. We're really close to having a final on when that will occur. So, um, hang tight. Continue to watch your agendas and we'll make sure that we promote as much as possible as we're able to make that change. >> How long How long have you been here? >> Uh we've been here since 2002, I believe, Darl, if I remember correctly. Maybe 2003. >> Yeah, it's been a great spot. Um the new spot will be great as well. And there'll be um technology that will mean that Tony or Katherine won't have to set up all the wires and everything. It's embedded. It'll be a little bit clearer, better, sound will be better, those types of things, which will be great as frankly more people watch you online than come here to watch your council meetings. So, it's great to be able to have that opportunity. >> Will we still have Tony and Katherine, though? >> We we still will as long as they're interested in continuing to do it. Yes, we still will. And they do a number of things. Of course, they help with school board, which um the school board contracts through you to provide services for that. And we have a number of other things according to a policy that we provide for uh support on like lead women voters candidate forums. >> Any other reports from council members? If not, we'll move on to our city administrator. >> Madame Mayor Prom, I have three that I want to mention. One I'm going to hit Pete up on. So, Pete, Fourth Street, um, started today. Can you talk just a little bit about that and kind of what the timeline is? That's probably what most people are interested in besides all the folks that want to come down there and see all the big equipment moving around. Well, I haven't been down there yet today. So, um but removals will be the first thing that happen along the line and um setting up um silk fence and storm water protection areas. Um we've been working with homeowners along the line there to identify a scope of work on private property. Those are all taken care of by waiverss. Um should be most of those projects uh have been identified already. So, we've got a couple of tail enders there that we're still working with. Uh then what they'll do is do is they'll set up temporary water which is 99% complete. Uh sanitary sewer and then water man will go through uh anticipated completion is still on schedule for November. So it'll take about 60 days to get all the utility underground worked and they'll come in for curbon gutter and then asphalt for the roadway. >> It'll be a nice improvement certainly in that area. And this is the area at least much of it is adjacent to the pool. >> That's right. Um, and we are one of the bigger contributors to the cost of this overall project. Uh, but one of the areas down there, this will improve the water flow in the area for fire protection. That's one of the biggest benefits of this. >> Sure. And PE, if people notice that there's uh equipment, people digging in yards and stuff up and down Scarrow. That's not the city of St. Peter, correct? >> Correct. That's correct. >> Who is that? >> Um, that is your MetroNet um doing additional fiber work there. So there's a number of companies right now doing that kind of work within the community >> all subs >> and um so if people have questions we're certainly happy to help them. Um but there's you got to make sure that you're protecting your own property and those types of things and we've had a lot of good information that's gone out in that meeting. >> I just know I I just know a couple weeks ago when they were doing work along there people were confusing it with the city work that was going up there on fourth street. Yeah, hopefully um we've at least tried we have tried really hard to reduce the amount of confusion. It's hard. People are in your boulevard and digging stuff up and hard to sometimes figure that out. >> Pete, thank you. >> Y >> um next I have on my list is Ryan again. Um the council may remember that you budgeted for what is really the first time since 2002 2003 that we've fully redone the gym floor. So Ryan, that's going to go on. So, we want to talk about that because that affects the community. So many people use that facility. >> Sure. Uh so we get a call. We knew it was going to be sometime in the next couple weeks depending on how the contractor's other jobs went and he called uh today. He said he'll be starting tomorrow. So um we put out word again through our channels and um they it'll be about a two-eek process during which time the gym and the walking track will be closed. Um there may be some limited access to the walking track in the next day or two, but for now we're just going to say it's both are closed unless there's some circum special circumstances. Um again another example of our staff making lemonade out of lemons. Um so we found out this early this morning by noon today. Kayla had already uh put a popup program on and out there for uh people to come in and um roller skate in the gym one uh one time here before the floors are all redone. >> Yeah, normally we wouldn't let that. That would be a no no >> right now. >> So it's uh um I just stopped on there. There was uh half a dozen or more kids a number of different families down there uh you know playing in the gym the chance that they have. So >> another 25 years and we'll have >> right once every 25 years. >> The life cycle here has been longer than what normally might be expected. And so that's kind of kudos to the maintenance staff. They've done some great job to keep that going. And so normally it would occur at about every 10 to 12 year pace. So we've done very very well and that's you know the community is generally pretty cooperative about how they use that facility as well. Makes a difference. >> Yeah. And there's another opportunity in with this too since um pickle ball wasn't really pickle ball 25 years ago. Uh so they've been putting uh lines down with vinyl floor tape and so uh every year taking it down putting back. Um so that'll be permanent lines will be installed for that. And you know, you didn't notice the change in the color because it was so uh gradual, but uh when they redo the floor completely, the change will be dramatic. So, be a lot lighter. >> We have a massive basketball tournament here in February as well that brings people to the community. Is there any updates to the courts in that way or is it kind of be similar? >> Uh, as far as my understanding is, the courts and everything else will be uh stay the same. Just the pickleball courts as they are lined up now will be moved so they're more in line with some of the other lines. Just a few less lines on the court on the on the floor. >> Nice floor to play on. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We got the parking lot being redone. Steps are coming up. We got the uh the gym floor being done. There's just a lot going on in the building right now. >> Thank you, >> Madam Mayor. Pro Tim, I have one other item that I want to mention. Maybe it's two or three items, but it all comes in the vein of some of the questions or comments that you made as council members. We just really want to encourage people that if they want to know more about what's going on with the community, there's four or five really great sources for that. So, one of which is the hot sheet, which embeds a lot of information about programs, activities, and activities of this um city council. Um that's something that's an email newsletter that you can sign up for online. It'll come every other week to your mailbox and you can read it once or twice or not at all if you're busy that week. We also want to mention that you have a YouTube channel where meetings like this are shown, gavveltogl, and you have other uh items that are on there, including the city administrators blog and other short videos that are included within that. You can find out a lot of great information, including opportunities to sign up for services, utilities, and others in a couple three different languages. So, that's really nice to still have there. your updated website that you want to ward on has great information that pumps out there, including your new mass information system that people can sign up for. And then last but not least, social media. We continue to put a lot of stuff out on Facebook. So, we'd encourage people to subscribe or like us there and that can help with a lot of the information that goes on within our community. Um, that's all I have for my list for you tonight. >> All right, with that, we are ready to adjourn. Do we do I have a motion to adjurnn? >> So move. >> Second. Have >> a motion and a second. All those in favor of adjournment say I. >> I. >> Those opposed, same sign. We are adjourned. Thanks everyone. [laughter]
