Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. [0:12] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: [Music] It stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Welcome everyone, and let the roll reflect that a majority of the members are here for a quorum, with the absence of Councilmember Lund tonight. We have a recognition of an outgoing commissioner, Victoria Bako, and we—are we one more time? Okay, thank you. And we appreciate the commissioners, members, and all that they have done for our commissions in the past and in the present. And so with us, we have Chief Townsend, and you can do an introduction story if you want to step up. [0:59] **Chief John Townsend**: Victoria Bako began serving on the Public Safety Advisory Commission on January 1st of 2022, and she's been serving since then with her last meeting being in June. Victoria, unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on who you ask—is moving out of the city of Hastings and will not be able to serve any longer. For this reason, she's been instrumental with planning for National Night Out, the Hastings Police Department open house, the Fire Department open house, and many other events in the city. She's also very instrumental in the many THC discussions that took place in the Public Safety Advisory Commission meetings. And we wish her the very best and enjoy the future, and thank you very much for your service to the city of Hastings and thank you for your time that you gave to us. Thank you. [Applause] [2:15] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, thank you for your service. Councilmembers, are there any corrections to the minutes from the workshop or the regular meeting from June 5th? Oh, sorry. Okay. Also tonight, we have a proclamation for the Parks and Recreation Month. And Councilmember Pemble, if you would start, please. [2:40] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: Certainly. Whereas Park and Recreation are an integrated part of communities throughout this country, including the city of Hastings; and whereas Parks and Recreation promote health and wellness, improving the physical and mental health of people who live near parks; and whereas Parks and Recreation encourage physical activities by providing space for popular sports and hiking trails and many other activities designed to promote active lifestyles; and whereas Parks and Recreation staff members maintain nearly 30 miles of trails and 37 parks for our community, along with the Hastings Civic Arena, the Hastings Family Aquatic Center, our fields, courts, and playgrounds; and whereas Parks and Recreation programming and education activities, such as youth and adult athletic leagues, provide opportunities to engage with others in the community; and whereas Parks and Recreation provide numerous entertainment opportunities that take advantage of our natural amenities and support tourism through the use of Levee Park and other parks; and whereas Parks and Recreation take care of the trees in our city and work to ensure the ecological beauty of our community; and whereas each July the city celebrates National Parks and Recreation Month with a Party in the Park, which will be held this year on July 11th at Levee Park; and whereas the U.S. House of Representatives has designated July as Parks and Recreation Month; and whereas the city of Hastings recognizes the benefits derived from parks and recreation resources; and now, therefore, be it resolved... [4:20] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: ...that I, Mayor Mary Fasbender, and the Hastings City Council, hereby declare the month of July 2023 as Parks and Recreation Month in the city of Hastings. And just a shout out to our Parks Director and all his staff for all they have done for our community and keeping our parks healthy and safe, and all the people that enjoy our parks. So tonight, we have comments from the audience. If anyone is in the audience that would like to speak to the Council at this time? Or anyone on Zoom? No one on Zoom, okay. All right, Councilmembers, we received notice of Councilmember Lund's resignation effective July 10th. I'd like to add a resolution accepting the resignation and declaring a vacancy to the agenda. [5:22] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: So moved. [5:23] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Second. [5:24] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Any discussion? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). And that motion prevails, and we'll talk about it later. Thank you, Council. I would accept a motion to approve the consent agenda. [5:45] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: So moved. [5:46] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: Second. [5:47] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Tonight we have a presentation and approval of the 2022 Comprehensive Financial Report. And for an introduction, we have City Finance Manager Chris Eitemiller here, and we appreciate the presentation by Nancy Schultzenberg of Bergen KDV. Welcome to you both. [6:38] **Chris Eitemiller**: Well, going on several years now, Bergen has done the audit here for the city, and we have just wrapped up the '22 audit. We'll go through all the high points and all the fun here with Nancy. [7:02] **Nancy Schultzenberg**: All right, good evening Madam Mayor, members of the Council, and administration. Thank you for giving me some time to go over these results this evening. I want to start out tonight by talking about the several pieces of communication that we issue as part of our audit. The first and most important communication is the Independent Auditor's Report, and this you will find housed in the front of that annual financial report... [Presentation of audit details continues] ...and that is the information I have. Any questions or comments or anything you'd like more detail on? [17:54] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you. Any questions, Council? If not, I would accept a motion to accept the 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. [18:03] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: So moved. [18:04] **Councilmember Angie Haus**: Second. [18:05] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Any discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thank you again. [18:21] **Nancy Schultzenberg**: Yeah, thank you. [18:23] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Tonight we have a new massage establishment, View Beauty Studio, at 112 2nd Street East, and we will have a public hearing with a resolution. And for this information, the introduction will be done by Assistant City Administrator Kelly Murtaugh. Welcome, Kelly. [18:45] **Kelly Murtaugh**: Thank you. Thank you, your honor, Councilmembers. In your packet was materials related to The View Beauty Studio, which is located at 112 2nd Street East, and they are seeking a massage therapy establishment license for this three-year period, '23, '24, '25. It does require a public hearing, which the Mayor mentioned, and we can do that yet this evening. A notice was delivered to property owners and occupants within 350 feet; no public comments have been received at this time. I'm happy to address any questions, or you may hold the public hearing. [19:40] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, thank you, Kelly. At this time, I will open the public hearing. Is there anyone in the audience to speak to this new addition to the View? Anyone on Zoom? No one on Zoom. Anyone wish to speak at this time? Okay, at this time I will close the public hearing. Council discussion? Any discussion? Okay, then I would accept a motion to approve the resolution approving a new massage therapy establishment license for The View Beauty Studio, 112 East 2nd Street. [20:10] **Councilmember Angie Haus**: So moved. [20:11] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: Second. [20:12] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Any other discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thank you. [20:29] **Kelly Murtaugh**: Thank you, Kelly. [20:30] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Today we are awarding a contract for Energy Savings Contract with Apex Facility Solutions LLC, and we will have an introduction by City Administrator Dan Wietecha. [20:43] **Dan Wietecha**: Thank you. First, I want to comment that under the statute that this is related to, there is not a public hearing, but following the statute, we did post notice of the topic, including the name of the contractor and the purpose of the contract... [Explains Apex contract for arena refrigeration and roof] ...with that, I can certainly stand for any questions that the Council might have. Thank you. [25:15] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you, Dan. Council, any discussion? Councilmember Vihrachoff? [25:23] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Thank you, your honor. Dan, what is the total value of the refrigeration unit within itself, just the replacement of that? I know that the entire project is 4.5 million dollars for everything comprehensively, but I was just curious for the refrigeration, what is that? [25:42] **Dan Wietecha**: I think the refrigeration itself was high ones, close to two—under two million. I can verify a specific number, but off the top of my head, I think it was between one and a half and two. [26:00] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: So, you know, I was a little—first of all, my own personal bias is that I'm always a little skeptical of these kinds of arrangements for these energy savings, these types of contracts. And so I'm disappointed that none of the exhibits that were mentioned, that are referred to in the actual contract, were included—in particular, Exhibit D, which is the operating parameters and the utility savings calculation methods that show with a breakdown of guaranteed savings were supposed to be. That wasn't included in there. And so I think that that's really an important piece... [Expresses skepticism regarding the roofing component] ...so I have a lot of reservations on it. I'll be supportive of it for right now in regards to the refrigeration unit replacement, but not seeing what the exhibits are, you can't really see what the scope of work it is that this is pertaining to. [29:14] **Dan Wietecha**: Sure. So, if you could follow up... the initial is the design for the refrigeration... when we are ready to move to a subsequent phase, we'll bring amendments to this contract. [30:04] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: I would ask that it actually be on the regular agenda, since the scope of work isn't included in this particular—if you understand what I'm saying. [30:15] **Dan Wietecha**: We can certainly make sure that all phases are brought in under the Award of Contracts. Okay, no problem. [30:19] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: All right, thank you. Councilmember Fox? [30:22] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Thank you, your honor. I was actually going to bring up putting the next phases on the agendas moving forward and not on the consent agenda, for those exact reasons. I like seeing a phased approach... it would be great to see the details as we do move forward. So I would like to echo that. [30:57] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, thank you, Councilmember Fox. Any other discussion, Council? If not, I would accept a motion to approve the guaranteed energy savings agreement with Apex Facilities Solutions LLC. [31:13] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: So moved. [31:14] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Second. [31:15] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Additional discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Tonight we have a vacation of easement, Leifeld, 1801 Chantry Trail. We have a public hearing and a resolution, and we will have an introduction by Community Development Director John Hinzman. Welcome, John. [31:47] **John Hinzman**: Thank you, Mayor, City Council members. So before us tonight is a public hearing and resolution to vacate a drainage and utility easement on Chantry Trail... [Explains combining two lots] ...we are recommending approval of this subject to the conditions within the resolution. This is a public hearing; you may hold that at this time or I can stand for any questions. Thank you. [33:07] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you, John. At this time, I will open the public hearing to speak to 1801 Chantry Trail easement. Anyone wishing to speak at this time? No one on Zoom. Anyone wish to speak at this time for the easement on 1801 Chantry Trail? Okay, this time I will close the public hearing and open the discussion for Council. Any discussion, Council? [33:43] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: I'll move to approve. [33:45] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Second. [33:47] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Any additional discussion, Council? Okay, all those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thanks, John. [34:06] **John Hinzman**: Thank you. [34:07] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Tonight we have to authorize signature for building inspection services for Dunn Solutions, and an introduction will continue with Community Development Director John Hinzman. [34:25] **John Hinzman**: Thank you, Mayor, City Council members. As I think you are aware, our building official Travis Dunn has submitted his resignation to the city effective July 3rd. With Travis's departure comes a need for certain plan review and inspection services... [Explains interim contract with Dunn Solutions LLC] ...I can stand for any questions. Thank you. [35:26] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you, John. Council discussion? Councilmember Vihrachoff? [35:32] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Thank you, your honor. You know, it's disappointing that Travis is resigning from his position. We had a lot of discussion about increasing his pay scale to keep him on in the last year, I believe it was. Building inspectors, I'm told, are very in demand... I just wanted to provide support to the human resources function of the city. I don't want to see the city being in this particular circumstance where we are having to farm it out... I hope that we can find some kind of solution so that we can keep on a staff person. [37:35] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you, Councilmember Vihrachoff. Additional discussion, Council? Okay, then I would accept a motion to authorize signature of the agreement for Professional Services with Dunn Solutions LLC. [37:51] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: So moved. [37:52] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Second. [37:54] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Any new discussion, Council? Okay, all those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thanks, John. Tonight under Parks and Rec, we have the Lake Rebecca Park Redevelopment project management. And for this item, we will have an introduction by City Administrator Dan Wietecha. [38:31] **Dan Wietecha**: Thank you. As Council knows, last year we received a million dollars in grant funding from the LCCMR... to redevelop Lake Rebecca Park with emphasis focusing on habitat restoration and expansion... [Explains hiring HKGI as project manager] ...with that, I can take questions. Thank you. [40:50] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, thank you, Dan. Council discussion? Councilmember Vihrachoff? [40:55] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Thank you, Dan. I was wondering, just reading through this project proposal from HKGI... something that I personally have been really concerned about is the impact of global climate change and what the predictions are regarding what we're going to see with precipitation levels... I just always have a lot of stomachache about us pouring a lot of money into Lake Rebecca just because knowing that there's going to be so many fluctuations with flooding... I would most certainly hope that staff would have that top of mind as we're moving forward. [43:10] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: I'd like to move to authorize staff to approve the proposal. [43:24] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Second. [43:30] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: No additional discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thank you, Dan. Tonight under Community Development, we have park dedication fees, with an introduction by Community Development Director John Hinzman. [44:03] **John Hinzman**: Thank you, Mayor and City Council. Tonight we're looking at a first reading of an ordinance amendment... [Explains amending the subdivision code and fee schedule to increase park dedication fees] ...so tonight the only action that you have is to consider first reading and to order the public hearing. However, if you have any questions on direction changes, now would be a great time for that discussion. [53:18] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Thank you, John. So I was part of the meeting discussing all of this... [Asks about the impact on rent prices] ...so now we've got this happening, what's this going to do or what could this do to rent prices? [54:40] **John Hinzman**: Sure, Councilmember. With rental prices or home prices, this is going to be an additional cost that's born upon the subdivider... that is a consideration for the Council at this point. [55:10] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: So then could an apartment building put in their own park? [55:14] **John Hinzman**: Sure. With park dedication, there's two primary ways... physical land or cash payment. For an apartment complex, generally, it's going to be on a small site, so they're generally going to be the cash payment. [56:13] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Thank you, your honor. Thank you, John, for all the work that you've been doing on this, and in particular Chris Jenkins for all the legwork he's done as well... [Discusses the need for regular updates to avoid another 20-year gap] ...so I just—and I know we have Attorney Land here—if someone could help point that out, how we can institutionalize that we're regularly keeping these fees up? [57:51] **John Hinzman**: Councilmember, within the ordinance itself, we are requiring that a certified appraisal is obtained at least every three years... to avoid a situation of having 20 years go by. [58:34] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Okay, and so that was actually in the ordinance and I didn't see it? [58:38] **John Hinzman**: It's a hidden thing. [58:40] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: Okay. My next question is about the math... [Asks for clarification on the formula and discretionary rates] ...okay, that makes sense to me. Good enough, thank you. [1:01:05] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: I’d like to move to consider the first readings of both of these city codes. [1:01:15] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: I will second. [1:01:18] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: No discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thank you, John. [1:01:37] **John Hinzman**: Thank you. And you may also speak on the Dakota County Law Enforcement expansion at 1580 Highway 55... [Explains the 13,000 square foot addition and parking lot relocation] ...I can stand for any questions. [1:03:08] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: From an aesthetic perspective, I've noticed that going up to 4th Street... what better efforts are being done to make this more aesthetically pleasing for the public as they go past it? It currently looks like "doom and gloom" when I go past it. [1:04:13] **John Hinzman**: Sure, Councilmember. This elevation here... is designed to match existing building materials, mostly combinations of different color brick... there's going to be some landscaping along the parking lot that will have more of an effect than it would at grade. [1:05:25] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: I would really hope the county is doing a better job than to put up shrubs... arboretums to block that view. Just anything to make it—I just think this is a very delicate area where we are trying to do a lot of commercial development. Let’s green it up so it doesn’t look so sterile. Thanks. [1:06:57] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Thank you, your honor. I’d like to make a motion to grant the site plan approval at 1580 Highway 55. [1:07:05] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: I will second, and then I have a comment. I would like to speak to some of the landscaping as well... I would love to see some beautiful shrubbery and beautiful structured plants as long as they're maintained so there's no distraction from the street. [1:08:15] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: There’s a first and a second. All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Thank you, John. [1:08:28] **John Hinzman**: Thank you. Another site plan here, Regina Assisted Living expansion at 1008 First Street West... [Explains filling in the open first floor and adding parking] ...I can stand for any questions that you may have. [1:09:44] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Thank you, your honor. I’m so jazzed that we’re going to have more parking because that gets very clogged up on First Street. In the nearest future, First Street is on the docket to be revisited. From the Public Works perspective, how will the entrance and exit be affected if we revamp First Street and maybe add a sidewalk, which I will advocate for starting now? [1:10:25] **John Hinzman**: Well, Councilmember... we've got room within the right-of-way to add sidewalk and trail in the future. What they're doing here should not negatively affect that ability. [1:10:48] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Thank you, John. John, I have a question: have they decided if they are designating that parking area for employees? [1:11:00] **John Hinzman**: It’s a good question, Mayor. I am not sure, but my hunch is that this would be more employee parking since this is further away from the public entry. [1:11:32] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: When the time comes for that chunk of roadway to be redone, we really need to look at adding that sidewalk on the north side to tie that all together so you can get over to Nininger Road and do it safely. Other than that, I think we move this ahead. I’ll make that motion. [1:12:35] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Second. [1:12:37] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Additional new discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Well, John—resolution, property sale, northwest corner of Spiral Boulevard and Glendale Road. [1:13:03] **John Hinzman**: Okay, Councilmembers... this is a five-acre property... we have been approached by Richard Reese to purchase this portion to combine with his property... [Explains terms and the septic system authorization] ...I can stand for any questions. [1:16:00] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Can all three of these be put into one motion? [1:16:03] **John Hinzman**: They are already in one. [1:16:05] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Your honor, I’d like to make a motion to adopt the resolution as written. [1:16:11] **Councilmember Angie Haus**: Second. [1:16:12] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: New discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. And that motion prevails. Well, John, last one? [1:16:30] **John Hinzman**: Last one I've got here. Original Hastings Design Standards review for a home addition at 200 Maple Street... [Explains adding a second story and roofline changes] ...we believe that this is not out of the character for size and form of homes within the area. We are recommending approval, as well as the HPC. [1:20:50] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: I cannot imagine how beautiful that view is going to be from the north side of that house... I would move to approve the recommendation for the OHDS as written. [1:21:28] **Councilmember Angie Haus**: Second. [1:21:30] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Additional new discussion, Council? All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed to that motion, state by saying nay. Good luck. [1:21:40] **John Hinzman**: Thank you. [1:21:45] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, Council. Under Administration, we have a resolution accepting Councilmember resignation and declaring vacancy. For this item, we have an introduction by City Administrator Dan Wietecha. [1:22:22] **Dan Wietecha**: Thank you for adding this to the agenda. This afternoon we received a notice from Councilmember Trevor Lund about his resignation from City Council effective July 10th... [Explains the 30-day timeline to appoint a replacement from Ward 4] ...I certainly recognize it was a tough decision for Councilmember Lund. I appreciate his years of service here, but really the point tonight is working that process... and saying there's a vacancy. [1:27:45] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Thank you, Dan. Just to confirm, this—it would be open to anyone within the community, not just Ward 4? [1:27:52] **Dan Wietecha**: No, this is the Ward 4 position. The replacement needs to be within that ward. [1:28:05] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Great. And then they would finish out that term? [1:28:08] **Dan Wietecha**: Through the end of '24. [1:28:12] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: Okay, thank you. [1:28:14] **Councilmember DawnMarie Vihrachoff**: So just for clarification purposes, will the city put forward an application for folks to fill out? I would suggest that we do have some kind of application form... someone should submit why it is that they're interested and what their qualifications are. And I also wanted to say I'm really saddened that Councilmember Lund has stepped down. He will be sorely missed. [1:29:58] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: I think what we need to do is move forward... with a letter of interest similar to what was mentioned before... and then we as a Council can review that and have a meeting of evaluation. [1:30:52] **Councilmember Angie Haus**: Thank you, your honor. I’d also like to echo Councilmember Vihrachoff about the application. I too would like to see involvement within different districts of our town. Also, I do want to say I appreciate Councilmember Lund's service to our community. It takes a lot to be up here. [1:31:37] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: I was going to wait and say something sappy when he was here... but family does come first even over your community service. Great job, Trevor, for making that decision. But I'm gonna miss having him sitting here next to me. [1:32:30] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Now you're going to be the shortest. [1:32:32] **Councilmember Lisa Leifeld**: For the record, I already am shorter than Trevor. [1:32:45] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Trevor, we will miss you. Tough decisions... I agree with everyone that said something up here. You have grown and you have given and you will be missed. Councilmember Fox? [1:33:55] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Thank you, your honor. I would like to make sure that our process is thorough through the interviews... however we can support you, Dan and Mayor, please let us know, because we're on crunch time. [1:34:20] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: Okay, thank you. We have a motion on the floor to accept. [1:34:25] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: So moved. [1:34:26] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: Second. [1:34:30] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: All those in favor of the motion, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). Opposed, say nay. And that motion prevails. Council, any announcements? [Mayor Fasbender reads community announcements regarding July 4th, summer rec programs at Levee Park, and upcoming committee meetings]. [1:38:34] **Councilmember Jen Fox**: If I could just add, I'd love to just thank the sponsors—George and Ruth Doffing, Smeads, Ardent Mills, SC Toys—all the sponsors that help create these events down at the river and at our parks. Without them, we could not do this. Thank you. [1:39:03] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: And I would accept a motion to adjourn. [1:39:07] **Councilmember Dave Pemble**: So moved. [1:39:08] **Mayor Mary Fasbender**: All those in favor, state by saying aye. (Council: Aye). We are adjourned. [Music]
