Let's get right into the first one: Approve a Resolution 2518 to canvas returns and declare election results from the City General Election. Neil, you want to take that? **[4:00] Neil (City Staff):** Sure. In front of you, you'll have the results of the city general election for the four-year term and the two-year term. What you got in front of you today is the request to approve the canvassing of the election. The four-year term will be Matt Montgomery and Laura Kronenberger, and the two-year term will be Derek Lundell and Steve Guesmi. **[4:30] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Okay. Do I have a motion to approve that resolution? **[4:40] Council Member Duncan:** Yeah, I move to approve Resolution 2518. **[4:42] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Is there a second? **[4:44] Council Member Lundell:** I'll second. **[4:46] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Motion by Duncan and a second by Lundell to approve Resolution 2518, canvas returns and declare election results from the City General Election. Is there any discussion? All in favor? (Aye). Opposed? Carried. **[5:15] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Okay, second item on the agenda: Approve Resolution 2519, which is a variance encroachment request and rezone for BFD of Cannon Falls at 31633 64th Avenue. Neil, you want to take that one? **[5:34] Neil (City Staff):** Sure. On Monday, the Planning Commission reviewed a variance encroachment and rezone request for BFD of Cannon Falls. What they're planning on doing is putting a significant sized building with a probably a 20-foot attachment onto an existing building. So what they want to do is put the building along the property line. The encroachment is to put the tunnel to connect the two buildings and change the zoning to an I-1 to make the zoning all the same for the area. The Planning Commission approved it unanimously and now it's onto the Council. **[6:20] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Any discussion? Looks good. Will there be a motion to accept or approve Resolution 2519? **[6:25] Council Member Bringold:** I'll make a motion to approve. **[6:27] Council Member Matson:** I'll second. **[6:30] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Motion by Bringold and a second by Matson to approve Resolution 2519, which is a variance encroachment request and rezone for BFD of Cannon Falls at 31633 64th Avenue. Any other discussion? All in favor? (Aye). Opposed? Carried. **[7:00] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Okay, third item on the agenda: Public Works Director position hire. Neil, I'll take it back to you. **[7:07] Neil (City Staff):** As you know, several months ago we started the search for a Public Works Director. We narrowed that down to three individuals. The hiring committee interviewed them along with our consultant, who was David Drown and Associates, and the selection was made. Ty Reijers was selected to become the new Public Works Director. In the negotiation process, it was decided to put him at a Grade 17, Step 5, starting with three weeks of vacation and all the basic city supervisor benefits that come along with that by current city policy. So we're asking today for a motion from City Council to approve Mr. Reijers as our next Public Works Director. **[8:15] Council Member Guesmi:** So moved. **[8:17] Council Member Matson:** Second. **[8:20] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Who's the second? [Matson]. Motion by Guesmi, second by Matson to approve Ty Reijers—is it Reijers?—as the Public Works Director. Is there any other discussion? **[8:35] Council Member Matson:** Do we know when he would start? **[8:37] Neil (City Staff):** He has to give a 30-day notice, and it'll be shortly after that. **[8:40] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Okay. Any other questions? All in favor? (Aye). Opposed? Carried. Anything else we want to bring—Neil, got anything? **[8:55] Neil (City Staff):** One more thing. I placed on your tables or your desks in front of you the applicants for the Civil Attorney RFP that we sent out, I suppose it's been a couple of months now. Please review them. We're going to set a special work session for November 30th. The instructions for the scoring is on the top; it's pretty self-explanatory. We want to narrow them down to four. Give your top choice six points and go on down from there. If you can get them back to me as soon as possible, I can put the scores together for next Tuesday if that's possible. Just send me your sheets if you can, and then we'll get the firms contacted and set for the 30th. That's all. **[9:45] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Okay. Anything else from members? Anything? Okay, I guess we'll take a motion to adjourn. **[9:55] Council Member Matson:** Well, wait one second. **[9:57] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Go ahead. **[9:58] Council Member Matson:** The police representative tonight thought we should keep it to 10 minutes, so should we keep going for a while? [Laughter]. **[10:11] Council Member Duncan:** Move to adjourn. **[10:13] Council Member Guesmi:** Second. **[10:15] Mayor Matt Montgomery:** Motion by Duncan, second by Guesmi to adjourn. All in favor? (Aye). Opposed? Carried.
