moving along next our advisory boards and commissions there is only the parks and rec commission that met in the past two weeks and I am their liaison so during that meeting the update is is we were able to talk through the work plan and Parks and Rec commission talked about the importance of the upcoming uh parks and recre master plan that we're putting forward for the city of Oakdale and the commission as a whole talked about the importance of increasing engagement to make sure that residents have a say in the Investments that are being made so very positive and very active group something that people should definitely check out and learn more about by going on our website learn about the parks and rec commission and our master plan so those are our advisory boards and commissions next are the award of bids there are none staff reports we have Community Development it looks like we have Luke M clanahan to present thank you yes so we have a final plat request for the 11th edition of willbrook so the location in this site it's located in the Northeast portion of willbrook it's the site itself is uh just under 13 acres it's vacant land and the request is to Plat 37 lots for single family homes and two out Lots so there will be one outlot for a storm water Pond and one Outlaw for a trail connection uh the developer would build out 42 Street and Hyde Avenue also as part of this development I do want to note that this is the last of the single family lots in willbrook if you can believe that and it features some of the largest Lots within the willbrook neighborhood so after reviewing the plat staff finds that it uh substantially conforms to the preliminary plant of willbrook the city's subdivision regulations and also the willbrook Pud uh and I will read off just a few conditions of approval here that you can uh see in the resolution that's in the in the packet so I'm referencing resolution 2025-the of a development agreement number two approval of the public Improvement construction plans by the city engineer number three approvals and permits uh obtained from outside government agencies number four satisfaction of Park dedication requirements in accordance with the master willbrook master planed unit development agreement number five adherence to the city attorney's plat opinion and recording instructions number six out Lots A and B shall be deeded to the city and then finally number seven is that the retaining walls located within the outlots again A and B they shall be maintained by the development's homeowners association and the development agreement shall specified that the development's HOA is to be responsible for the maintenance of those retaining walls and just a little bit bit of background there on the retaining walls they are seen as from the uh staff's perspective as kind of an unnecessary public Improvement so that's we just want to make it clear that the expectation is that the homeowners association would be responsible for the maintenance and with that um uh staff is happy to answer any questions I know that we have a representative from lenar here as well if you have any questions thank you yeah thank you very much Luke council members any questions or comments for Luke or lar in the audience no well thank you for the update it's hard to believe this the very last one to go in Willowbrook but we will look for a motion I will move it we wave reading and adopt resolution 2025 d08 approving the final plat for willbrook 11th Edition with conditions as presented all right and we have a motion is there a second second motion is second any final comments or questions seeing none we'll look for a vote all those in favor I and that goes through great next we have our City attorney checking with Jim Thompson Jim anything to report uh Mr acting mayor no nothing to report tonight but happy to answer questions any questions for Jim all right seeing none we'll go down and take a look at Chris Chris our administrator any updates for us tonight Mr acting mayor city council no I do not have anything other than a clarification um Mr acting mayor I think you have two Scripts for this next session or for the close so look if you don't mind deferring to Jim about which one to use would be helpful okay thank you that's all I have excuse me good piece of advice and I know uh um we'll defer to Jim in a second here let's do our Council presentations uh which are coming next anything here looking to the left Council presentation nothing specific nothing none for me

motion we have a second second motion is second all those in favor I I and the claims are approved and Jim for this final section we're going to go to a closed session but I've got two scripts in front of me here which one were we looking at uh Mr May why don't you use the one I sent you I didn't have a chance to coordinate with the city CL time so sure they're both right but perfect well I'd uh at this time I move to go into Clos session pursuing to Minnesota statute section 13.05 subdivision 3B to discuss matters protected by the attorney client privilege relating to the pending lawsuit between the city and Oakdale Marketplace LLC can I get a second second Jim uh M mayor members of the council just before we go into Clos session I want to say it's this is at my request because I do need to talk to with you together in private and that need for private outweighs a need for the public to be there and that's why I'm asking for the close session perfect thank you for the clarification Jim so we have a motion we have a second any other comments other otherwise we'll uh vote all those in favor I I all right and we are now moved to close session
