Good morning everyone. It is Tuesday, October 21st. We'll call the Wright County Board of Commissioners to order. We'll begin with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Looks like we have a pretty robust uh agenda here today.

Okay. >> Yep. >> Um I'm going to say, do you have a particular area you want to uh deal with that?

All in favor say I. >> I. Same sign. All right. Consent agenda approved unanimous. First time agenda item, Kelly Stry. >> All right, >> Kelly, welcome. >> Thank you. Good morning. >> Good morning. >> Um, so I'm Kelly St. one of the two 4 extension educators that work with our program in the county. We have over 700 youth in our program as well as 200 plus volunteers. Um, every year we recognize supporters of our 4 program at our annual awards banquet and this year we'd like to recognize the Wright County facilities department. Um, if you've ever been to our stage in the 4 building, you have noticed that our stage is multiple levels. It doesn't have handrails. It's not accessible. And so we wanted to um create a new, more accessible space for the young people that use that um stage. And so we brought our idea to the facilities department and said this is our dream. This is what we want it to look like. And they took the action on that by creating the design by assembling it um making accessible with adding a ramp for um a variety of reasons to make it accessible. So, we just want to say thank you to the Wright County Facilities Department for that gift that you've given us um to help us be inclusive of all the youth in Wright County that participate in our program. So, at this time, can we have a little certificate for them? Do they want to come forward? >> Come forward, gentlemen. [Laughter] >> Thank you very much. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Thank you. >> Welcome. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Absolutely. >> Kelly, I want to get a picture of you guys as a group. >> Okay. >> Where do you want it? >> Do we Do you guys Should we do it in front of the board with all the board members? >> Stand right up here. >> Okay. Wonderful. >> Yep. Wonderful. One, two, three. >> Thanks, guys. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Good job, guys. Thanks, >> Kelly. Thank you for uh bringing this forward and uh thank you to our facilities staff and helping and finding great ways to make improvements and being able to save our extensions and 4 uh funds and being able to uh make things more accessible. So, it's a win-win. Thank you, >> Kelly. I have a quick question for you. Uh a little unrelated to this, but it is 4 related. Do you guys have a fundraiser coming up in November? And what's the date on that? >> Well, we have a fundraiser in February. um February um the second the first Sunday in February and it's to help raise money for our 4H food stand campaign that we pancake dinner at the Rockford Township Hall. >> Yay. >> Wonderful. I'm sure you'll send out an email at some point when we get closer to >> Great. Thank you for asking. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> All right. Now, we have a petitioned item on I'm going to call this uh A1 and a half, the PNZ appointment. Commissioner Holland. >> Um yeah, uh board, we've had a um a full court press the last two weeks and getting a we've had that uh seat vacant since um the last time somebody sat in the seat was in June. Um, we have a big uh meeting coming up on Thursday, a huge staff report with some solar uh farms on the agenda. And so, thanks to the two of you that went to the quarterly meeting um to to plea. Uh we did find somebody to fill that position and it is Charlie Burell. He served uh as you know as county commissioner and then he's also served eight years at planning and zoning. He knows what he's getting into. He uh is very excited. He likes planning and zoning. Um, and so I would uh petition that we um accept his uh um accept him to be in that seat to fill uh the exiting Larry Smith um for planning and zoning. >> Mr. Chair, >> yes, >> this is in my district and I have submitted a name for this position uh to planning and zoning, Randy Wilson. Um I'm not sure what your position is on this, but um it was hard finding people that would be willing to commit and so I have had many discussions. Some fell through in that time frame that you're talking about. I have been searching and so um no I already talked to Barry about appointing Randy Wilson to that position from my district. >> Okay. That's the >> Okay. Are you done? >> That's the opening and that's my obligation to appoint uh from my district, >> but it's not on the agenda. >> All right. Commissioner Holland. >> Um curious why it's not on the agenda. >> I may please allow Commissioner Holland to finish. You can rebuttal. >> Yep. >> Um uh because uh administration did they know because uh it would be on the agenda today. We need somebody in that seat. It's not fair for our citizens. It's not fair for the planning and zoning board. Um I've been asked every single meeting, which was uh five meetings that has been sitting empty. Uh and so I I feel that it's very imperative to get somebody in there as soon as possible. And and Charlie knows what he's getting into and he's very he was very good on planning and zoning. And so, Mr. chair. I appreciate your feedback on that, but this is my position to appoint to and I did talk with Barry and Barry said he would put it petition it onto the agenda. I don't know where Barry is, >> but I did talk to him on the film. >> The administrator now. >> No. So, the point of it was is that the the >> Okay. Administrator Wendy Wilson, I am appointing. That's that's my >> the So, you have the ability to bring forward an appointment to the board. Uh the the point that was at this point here that uh my understanding is Commissioner Holland's bringing this forward due to the uh lack of an appointment to this position. Uh the board has waited quite patiently. Uh unfortunately due to the extended period of time now at over 3 months of the position sitting open. Is it four? I wasn't counting. But um the understanding is is that we need to get the position moved forward especially uh there was about a list of about four or five candidates that was given to the commissioner uh to review and appoint. Uh I I understand we I don't I don't have to do this. >> This is my pos this is my appointment to make and I have been attempting to get this filled and I appreciate your concerns. Absolutely. And the planning and zoning's concerns, but this is my appointment to make. >> It it is your appointment customary. So it's not it's not a a definitive action. We have we have we have appointed we have appointed members to the PNZ that are outside of a commissioner district. It is not unprecedented. >> This is Mr. Chair ridiculous. Could I just make a comment? So, wasn't Charlie Burl on planning and zoning for 8 years? >> Mhm. >> That is correct. >> And the appointment come with his feet running. >> Mr. Chair, yes. The person I am would like to appoint, thank you, from my district has experience as a mayor and I'm planning and zoning. He has plenty experience to to get the job done. Thank you. So, at this time, I will entertain a Is there a motion on this? >> I'll make a motion that we approve Charlie Burell uh to uh the position of planning and zoning. >> I can second that. >> You have a motion by Commissioner Holland, second by Commissioner Shane to appoint uh Charlie Bell to the planning and zoning. Is there any other discussion, comments? >> Mr. chair. Again, I have a person that's qualified and willing and accepted that position. I did talk to Barry about it this this past week. Um, it is my position to appoint and this is ridiculous. >> Well, this the it wasn't on the agenda and Charlie's ready to go. He he can attend on Thursday. Well, I have a full we have a full staff meeting. I understand with solar, so it's going to be contentious and he knows what he's doing and that's and that is that is why we're going forward with this. >> This is just ridiculous. >> I I think Charlie's great and yeah, he would hit the ground running on it. I just don't, in my opinion, feel comfortable appointing another person from District 5, no matter how highly I think of Charlie. So, that's just kind of where where I'm at. Um, I I don't think that um he would have any issue stepping into it. He's more than wellqualified and he could probably school me on planning and zoning matters up and down all day long and twice on Sunday and and he would he would definitely tell me that too where I was wrong on something. But I just my comfortability level is not having a second person from district 5 at this point. But that's that's just me on it. not anything against his qualifications or or his ability to do the job. >> I I struggle with this cuz I I I believe in in the allowing in the customary of commissioners appointing through their district, but then I also struggle with the fact that the position has been stagnant for such a long period of time. I in my history I haven't I haven't seen any an appointment sit vacant for that long and that makes me wonder uh why. So that's where I understand Commissioner Holland and Commissioner Shane's perspective of just saying well if they're not going to do something on it we need to move on it. Uh, so I I can I can agree with that to a large extent because we need to when we have appointments as commissioners within our district, you want to move swiftly with it because if you don't, there is a chance that the board as a whole could take action on it because they want to see those appointments and those positions filled. >> Mr. Chair, yes. Was this brought Did you have a conversation with me about this? Have any of you had that conversation with me? I have been attempting and had conversations with many people to get appointed on this that you were going to jump in line and do this. You never even talked to me about it. That is just ridiculous. >> This isn't my move. This is nothing to do. I am I I'm just week and >> I I have an appointment. I spoke with >> I asked administrator Kryer if there was anybody to put forward and he had not heard that there was >> planning. I talked with the director of planning and zoning and got a name to him last week. >> Did you then tell our administrator? >> Did you tell the administrator? >> Did Barry here? >> Here's the situation. >> No, we're not going to bring Barry up here at this time. Barry has him and he said he would bring it. Mr. >> Chair, Mr. Chair, do we have >> Mr. Chair? I want you to go ahead and call the question and go from there because we obviously it's divided >> and we don't have to by law >> pick somebody from uh you can go outside of your district to fill that position and Charlie's well qualified. There is no state statute that says it has to come from a district of a certain district. >> Thank you. I'd like Barry to speak to this. >> No, we're Well, you have a question. >> I think this is important. >> I called the question. You got calling the question. Commissioner Shane has called the question. Uh at this time we have a motion by Commissioner Holland, second by Commissioner Shane to appoint Charlie Burrell to the planning commission. Uh at this time all in favor say I. >> I. >> I. Same sign. >> I. >> Motion passes 32. >> All right. Moving on to our 910 item which we are a few minutes behind is the uh GIS coordinator Lin. >> Uh Mr. Chair, members of the board, good morning. Um I am here seeking that you all pass the resolution um promoting free and open geospatial data. Um, I don't have any really anything prepared to say, but um that this would uh really just help us um follow best practices and make sure that we're all in alignment on providing open geospatial data. >> Well, Larkin, you did a great job last week and selling us on on the great uh benefits to having this open and free information out there. Uh so I will wholeheartedly support this move. I think this is great. It's all accessible information already. It's just a matter of connecting the dots. >> I'll make a motion to approve. >> All right. Motion by Commissioner Dietri, second by Commissioner Shane. Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. Same sign. >> Motion passes. Unanimous. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> And now coming up to our 913. Lind. >> It's a resolution vote. Resolution. >> Oh, it was a resolution. Okay. Sorry. Don't uh resolution vote. Commissioner Moina. Well, I don't know if I should vote until Arkin gets back up to the This is in our GIS. I'm sorry. I beg of that. >> I I >> I >> I >> All right. Resolution passes. Thank >> All right. Thank you for uh catching that, Administer Kryser. All right. Next, we have the wonderful appointments to our canvasing board. >> Yes. Good morning. Um what we need to do is we need to appoint two county commissioners to our canvasing board to occur after our November election. Um as you know on election night our election results are unofficial. Um the team then does some validation work and the role of the county canvasing board is to review, approve and certify our official rev um results. So, we've got myself as county auditor. We've got the court administrator, the um mayor or chairperson of the most populous city, which is ATIGO. And then we need two county commissioners to serve um on the county cabining board as well. >> I volunteered two people last time, so I will step up and take it this time. Uh, >> I could if it's on Wednesday, but otherwise I'm going to have a harder time because you were looking at Wednesday or Thursday. Correct. >> We are special required to do on the 5th. >> Oh, on the 5th. >> Yep. >> I could do it on the 5th as well. >> Okay. Well, then >> preferably sometime after noon. >> I mean, being her district, is it better for her to >> being that her mayor's here or not? >> I I think it doesn't matter. I I'm open to whoever is interested. I mean, I will happily do that as well. Either way, >> Jeie. >> Yeah, I can do it. >> Okay. All right. Jeanie and Kirby. All right. Got a motion. >> I'll make that motion for these two. >> Motion by Commissioner Shane. Second by >> I'll second it >> by Commissioner Holland to appoint Commissioner Moa and Commissioner Holland to the canvasing board for the November election of 2025. >> All right. >> Thank you. >> Any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos same sign. All right. Motion passes unanimous. All right. Thank you, Lindsay and Peter. Welcome. >> Good morning, Mr. Chair. Good morning, members of the board. Um, I guess I'm here before you asking uh for the county's adoption of a resolution or acceptance of a resolution to allow the DNR to purchase a an island within uh Pelican Lake to be added as a wildlife management area or to the acreage of that wildlife management area. Um, I know I've provided most of the information for you, including a map. I guess one correction to that map I would make is that there is a plus and minus as as to how many acres that 32.3 actually is. Um, that's based off of the county's Beacon website. Uh, but there is um because of where water levels are and where they currently stand, that could change up or down a little bit. It looks like it could go as high as 36 acres. Um, but this this is a purchase that uh we were approached in 2021 by the landowner. Um, we've worked with them for four years now. They've looked at uh the possibility of trying to develop that and there's no connection to the mainland and and they felt that the best opportunity was to make that a publicly accessible piece of land. Um, granted it will be publicly accessible only by water. There we go. >> Mr. Vet, I actually thought the DNR already owned that. >> That was a surprise to me actually. So, >> yeah, there are several islands within within the lake that are that are in private ownership. >> Okay. >> Yeah, Mr. Chair Peter, I want to say thank you because I know that's been the the whole lake out there has just been one big process after another. So, I appreciate everything you do. um and including the water level, all of the above. So, this to me I think is just a a perfect um kind of solution to this this land. Um especially I mean to have more wildlife reserved in our area. What else could we ask for? So, thank you. >> All right. I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll make that motion. Second. >> All right. Motion by Commissioner Holland, second by Commissioner Shane to uh for the land acquisition for Pelican Lake Wildlife Management Area adopting resolution 2566. Any discussion? >> Hearing none, Commissioner Shane. >> I >> I >> I >> I >> I >> All right. Resolution passes unanimous. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, board. >> All right. And now coming to our 923. We brought ourselves right back on track here. Uh Mr. Pickert is making his way to the podium with help. Uh morning board. I've got two resolutions in front of you this morning. I'm going to do the first one and then my assistant's going to do the second one. Uh the first one is uh again the auxiliary chapter of DAV from Hutchinson uh has donated $500 to us um to we can use for our veterans. Uh their intent is obviously to use it for causes we don't have other funding for. You know their state grants and everything. If I can't find one of those other this is what I use that money for. Once again, they have been great partners with us year in and year out, helping us uh closing those gaps. So, we can't uh thank them enough. >> Um >> yeah, between them and the the DAV chapter, we get a couple thousand dollars a year. Um and we're not the only one. So, um uh they also donate to uh Mer and some other counties around the area, Mloud. So, they kind of the three four county area they try to donate to every year. So, it's not just us, but it's it's very very generous donation and it helps out a lot. >> That's awesome. >> So, at this time, I'll >> make a motion to approve resolution 2560. >> Thank you, Commissioner Mo. >> I'll second that. >> All right. Motion by Commissioner Mo, second by Commissioner Holland to adopt resolution 2560 accepting the donations from the Hutchinson uh disabled American Veterans Chapter. All right. Resolution vote. I vote I >> I >> I >> I >> I. >> Resolution passes unanimous. >> Okay. and my assistant uh Alisa Cull. She's going to do the next one. >> Hi, my name is Elisa. I'm here to ask you to adopt a resolution for Operation Greenlight for Veterans. Um this is a simple nationwide effort where counties and communities show their appreciation to veterans by lighting all the landmarks and homes green during the week of Veterans Day. >> Thank you, Alisa. At this time, this is resolution 2562. Second >> motion by Commissioner Mo, a second by Commissioner Dietrich to adopt resolution 2562 declaring Wright County's participation in Operation Greenlight. Resolution vote. Any discussion? No. Commissioner Holland. >> I >> I >> I >> I >> I All right. Resolution passes unanimous. Thank you. >> Thank you, board. >> Really looking forward to seeing those green lights November 4th through the 11th. Thank you. Do we know which lights around here are typically lit up or all of them or >> the >> justice center? >> Yeah. So for us, so it's usually the ones on the justice center, you can see it. It's really cool. So like they'll do like when the Buffalo incident happened, they did them purple or whatever, but it's usually on top of the Justice Center and it looks really it's really awesome. >> You don't want bucket lift and do all of the ones out there. Uh, talk to Allan. That's not my department. >> I'm not crawling up there to do it. >> That was my question, Greg, as if you were going to crawl up there. So, >> no, sir. >> Thank you, Greg. >> All right. And with that, we are on to the 926 item, uh, which would be the planning and zoning. Barry or Scott. >> Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chair, board of commissioners. Um, we are here this morning with a resolution to uh to consider an EIS needs determination for an EAW that was completed for the Knife River Holt House Pit expansion, um, which is just north of town here, the west side of Highway 25. Um the current mining operation was approved in '05 for about 80 acres. They did an EAW for that as well. Um this would expand the overall footprint of the mine to about 200 acres with an additional 50 acres of excavation. Um though knife river was the author of the EAW, we help edit it and uh approve the completeness of it and we also help with the the publication of the document and we respond to comments of which there were only two which you should have in your packet. Um this is just a reminder that this is just for the EAW. The request would still need to go through the planning commission for an IUP expansion. So, we're asking for a consideration on the AW specifically on the need for an EIS and our recommendation is that an EIS is not warranted in this particular instance. There's a resolution in your packet affirming this. I thought Lucy Snowden from Knife was going to be here as well if you had any questions. Um, and there she is. So, if you have any questions, we'd be happy to try to answer them. >> Mr. Chair, just a quick question. Has this gone have you gotten comments from the township or anything on this as well? No, just the ones that are in your packet. So, from Mindot and I think that the other comment maybe from the DNR. Do you remember who the other one? Yeah. >> Okay. >> All right. So, with that, uh >> motion to approve resolution 2559. >> Second. >> All right. Motion by Commissioner Moa, second by Commissioner Shane to adopt resolution 2559 uh not requiring an EIS for the pit expansion in Buffalo Township with the uh whole house pit. >> Thank you. >> All right, if there's no other discussion, resolution vote. Uh Commissioner Dietrich, >> I >> I >> I >> I >> resolution passes unanimous. Thank you. And we're right on time for our public hearing for our dangerous dog ordinance. Uh once again, I will uh appreciate the work by uh staff on bringing this forward and updating it. Uh is there any uh highlights or anything you want to read over to it, Administrator Kryser, before we open up the public hearing? >> Uh Mr. K, Mr. chair. Um really the changes here are just dealing with some technical changes dealing with service and it deals with also confiscation and what happens with dangerous dogs if they're unfortunately have to be put down. So just clarifying the process making technical corrections to comply with statute. >> All right. Thank you. So, at this time, if anyone would like to uh speak on ordinance amendment 25-6 pertaining to county dangerous dog ordinance, please come forward and state your name and your city or township of residence uh for the record. Is there anyone that wishes to comment uh during the public hearing? Is anyone wish to speak? Does anyone wish to speak? I just want to show you my state. Thank you. >> Yeah, that's unfortunately Crystal. That one won't won't fit this topic. But thank you, Crystal. Uh would anyone else wish to speak at this time? Uh if there's no comment, I will uh close the public hearing and bring the ordinance 25-6 forward here to the dis for uh action. At this time, uh board members. >> Yes, Mr. here and members of the board. The first item would be approving the ordinance amendment as presented 25-6. >> I'll make a motion to accept that resolution. >> Ordinance. >> All right. >> Ordinance. >> Resolution. >> All right. We have a second by motion by Commissioner Holland, second by uh Commissioner Moya to approve ordinance amendment 25-6. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say I. I. >> Oppos. same sign. All right. Ordinance amendment 25-6 approved unanimously. Now we need to approve resolution 2564 for summary publication language uh for the adoption of ordinance 25-6. >> So moved. All right. >> Second. >> Motion by Commissioner Moina. Second by Commissioner Shane. Any discussion? Hearing none. Commissioner Moina. Resolution vote. I >> I >> I >> I >> resolution passes unanimous. All right. Now, moving forward to the public hearing for parks and recreation. >> Mr. Chair, we actually timed that one. >> Oh, we have time one. Yeah. Right. Seven more minutes. We got a few minutes. Yeah. >> We can go down to the uh items for consideration. Mr. Chair, resolution 2565 establishing the Crawford Lake Improvement District. >> Thank you, Administrator Kryser. Uh so this one here comes back from our public hearing which we had uh a couple weeks back uh pertaining to the creation of a lake improvement district for Crawford Lake. It was pretty uh resounding support from those on the lake. So yes, Mr. Chair, this is the final step uh in the creation of the lid after we had the petition, the public hearing, comments from the DNR as well. Right into the record at the last uh public hearing. This is the official order establishing the lake improvement district which will get filed with the secretary of state and allow them to to start the process next year at their annual meeting and start getting funding in 2027. >> All right. So, I'll stand for a motion. I'll go ahead and make that motion for the resolution of the new established lit district. >> All right. Motion by Commissioner Shane, second by Commissioner Holland uh for resolution 2565 establishing the Crawford Lake Improvement District. Any discussion? >> I I did have a a question or at least something that I had noticed. Is there any issue um because it will be an elected body once they start having elections that there two people in the same household that we are appointing to this lid? >> There is there any conflict or any anything like that that >> Mr. Chair Commissioner Mo I'm not aware of any conflict in the statute that allows that prohibits that. Um these are the first board of directors that is seated up until we have a the annual meeting which has to be held on I think either July or August of next summer. It's very time limited as to when they can have their annual meeting >> and they and no money is levied until they have their annual meeting and actually replace people. So really these names don't really do anything in that meantime. But they don't they don't make any meaningful dollar impacts to citizens. They can't make any fiscal impacts at this point. >> Yes, that's the part. I shouldn't say meaningful, but financial impacts. Thank you. >> All right. Is there any other discussion hearing? None. Resolution vote. Let's see here. We are on Commissioner Shane. >> I >> I >> I >> I >> I >> resolution passes unanimous. All right. We are still five minutes too soon for our public hearing on parks and recreation. >> Mr. Sure. I think we can at least start the theformational portion of the meeting and then open it later if our parts Russ if you want to come forward here at this time and kind of give us the overview of the uh resolution or not the resolution but the uh ordinance amendment 255. >> Thank you Mr. Chair, commissioners. Um the ordinance changes went to the revisory group on September 15th and for review and they approved to go move forward with a public hearing. The basic changes is some just uh uh some changes for some uh language for staffing from a park administrator to park and recck director. The two major changes are we're changing one of the um the ability to allow for special hunts from uh just veterans to uh right or county sponsored hunts. And so that just opens it up. Right now, as I think you all know, we're doing an archery hunt uh special hunt. So that opens up for other special hunts in the future. Uh the other one that also went forward to the revisor group and our park and rack commission was for ebikes. um that has been a trend over the last several years. We don't really address that currently in the current ordinance. And so it addresses the language to just allow for pedal assisted ebikes, which is consistent with what other counties are doing and follows state statute when it comes to their classifications. >> Wonderful. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> All right. So, we'll be opening the public hearing here in just a couple minutes uh when that time comes. Anybody that wishes to speak on the record uh regarding the ordinance amendment 25-5, please come forward to the podium and state your name and the city or township of residency for the record. >> We have just two minutes yet. I know long two minutes. >> That's a long two minutes. [Music] Mr. Chair, we could ask Ross how many people signed up for that special hunt. >> There you go. >> It was what? >> It was like hundreds and we had six spots. really >> 10. >> I It was close. We had uh we had 634 people sign up total for 10 spots. >> Yeah, I knew it was something really Yeah. >> Yep. We had our pre-hunt meeting. Everybody showed up and so it was a really exciting group. They the hunt started on Friday and it goes till I think the 26th. And so the we kind of been following through. They drop us a pin on where their stands are throughout the parks. We have Harry Larson, Monsip, and Bertram. So um everybody's dropped their pin. And we have a couple people saddle hunting, which means they will go in various locations. But so far, we haven't had anybody complain, any park users. We've signed the parks. We've been working with the sheriff's department just to make them aware with our park rangers of where all the zones are and everything. So, um, yeah, so far so good. So, >> that's awesome. >> So, that's great with this change that more of these kind of special things can happen and utilize for the whole county. So, thank you. >> Yep. Thank you. and it helps out. We I know in Monaceel I've had a number of complaints because the deer population in Monaceel has grown to a level that it's actually becoming a bit of a nuisance.
