No public hearings in front of us. So we will move into open forum. Uh including two proclamations and a very important recognition of an outgoing treeboard member. Uh first up is proclamation recognizing pet ID week. National pet ID week. Uh whereas pets are cherished members of our family providing companionship, comfort, and joy. And whereas it is estimated that one in three pets will become lost at some point in their lifetime. And tragically, some of these lost pets may never find their way home. And whereas about 5 million animals enter shelters each year. And of those shelter animals, 40 to 60% are lost pets. And whereas experts recommend every pet owner prepare for a lost pet by getting them microchipped and using a collar or ID tag. And whereas National Pet ID Week is observed annually for 7 days starting on April 17th, 2026 and serves as an important reminder for pet owners to check that their pets identification is current, visible, and properly registered. And whereas increasing awareness for pet uh increasing awareness about a pet identification helps reduce the number of stray animals, supports animal control efforts, and promotes public safety and animal welfare. And whereas when pets do become lost, community members, nonprofit organizations like Lost K9 and the Retrievers and local police departments play a pivotal role in reuniting lost pets with their owners. And whereas the city of Oakdale encourages all residents to take time to ensure their pets are properly identified to support efforts that protect the safety and well-being of animals in our community. Therefore, I Kevin, mayor of Oakdale, Minnesota, do hereby proclaim the week, April 17th through the 23rd, 2026 as National Pet ID Week. Our second proclamation is one of our favorites each year uh recognizing Arbor Day in our community. Whereas the Oakdale City Council supports the planting of trees and encourages residents to landscape their properties with trees. And whereas in 1975, Mayor Pete Grasskey was instrumental in establishing the city's first ever Arbor Day tree giveaway. And whereas in 2026 uh 2026 marks the 51st anniversary of Arbor's Oakdale's Arbor Day celebration and tree giveaway. And whereas Arbor Day is a time to appreciate the important contributions made by trees and to continue to increase their numbers in our community. And whereas this year's Arbor Day event will be held on Saturday, April 25th at 9:00 a.m. at Fire Station 1 North. Therefore, I Kevin Zabel, mayor of Oakdale, Minnesota, hereby proclaim April 25th as Peter Grasy Arbor Day in the city of Oakdale and call upon the residents of our community to plant trees for their enjoyment and for the health of our generation and generations to come. Uh it surprises absolutely no one that when I say Oakdale is filled with a bunch of tree huggers and we love it. Um to have this Arbor Day giveaway for over half a century is um an absolutely enormous um accomplishment for any community Oakdale. We could not do it without our um without all of our volunteers, our tree board uh members, our environmental management commission, all of our city staff, our city forester, public works director. Um but most importantly all of the residents that come out during that event each year uh and take a tree home and plant it in their yards. Um you know we are very incredibly proud of our tree canopy in Oakdale. Certainly not without its challenges. You know invasive species like emerald ashbor are doing a number on every city's uh tree canopy. And so we're we're excited um and appreciate all the efforts to replace that tree canopy. We're also taking steps at the city to help our residents um remove some of those trees so they can clear out the the dead and dying ones and and get new ones in the ground. So um a very important reminder of the importance of any tree canopy, every tree canopy to our cities. So we are appreciative of um celebrating Arbor Day. We're not done talking about trees yet. Uh we get to say a big thank you to one of our outgoing treeboard members, uh the treeboard chair, Nick Canola. Uh Nick Canola has served uh the city of Oakdale for the past decade as a member of the environmental management commission, chair of the tree board, and through countless hours of volunteering at city events. Over the years, he has graciously offered his expertise as a certified arborist to help city staff identify trees for the Peak Rasky Arbor Day Tree Giveaway, pinpoint focus areas around the city that could host the Jane Klein Memorial Spring Planting event, and even sat down with our own Frankelo for an interview on the Oakdale Update to talk about all things trees. Nick has made his impact by weighing in on emerald ashbor treatment and buckthorn removal education, city code changes related to tree preservation and disease control, and annual treeboard events. Although his presence at treeboard meetings will be missed, unless we change the city code so he can stick around. No, I'm kidding. He He gave me the idea. Um although his presence at treeboard events will be missed, his contributions help shape a healthier, more sustainable city for generations to come. Nick, on behalf of the city council, the tree board, and our city and our residents, we want to thank you for your service on the tree board. You have made such an impact um not just in recent years and years during your service, but quite literally for generations to come. So, thank you. We have a certificate of appreciation for you. Uh why don't you and your family come join us up front? family anymore in the middle family. Come over here. All right, count of three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. Thank you. >> You want to say a few words about trees? Every tree needs a hype, man. >> Every tree needs a hype man. >> For sure. >> Yeah, this is super cool. Well, look at that. That's That's really pretty. >> You guys don't do anything halfway, and I appreciate it. Um, yeah. Uh, so being on the treeboard was just an incredible amount of fun and a super big honor for me. Um, getting to give back to my community in a way that like shares my expertise and all this information that rattles around in my brain and and helps nobody else. Um, it's good that it can be used to help other people. Uh, it was a lot of fun uh, uh, being on the commission, getting to meet other uh, tree lovers around the city of Oakdale who are interested in um, helping out the community. uh volunteers like the volunteers who come out all of the master gardeners who come out were um they're all treasures of humans. I know master gardeners tend to get a bad rap in the arborultural community. Um but uh we had nothing but gems here and especially on the treeboard. Um yeah, it was anybody who is looking to uh for a way to serve their community, uh serving on the the commissions or the treeboard is a super valuable use of time. Um whether you feel you have the expertise or not, it's it's um we had we had people on the treeboard who um were passionate and maybe not experts and that's okay because you need those people too. So um yeah, I I don't know what else to say. Uh, it was really fun and I really appreciate the opportunity that you guys gave me uh to give back. >> Thank you, Nick. >> Thank you, Nick. >> Mayor, do I have an opportunity to say something? >> Certainly do. So, as the less onto the tree board, um I especially want to thank Nick for all of his time, effort, his energy, and um his expertise on on that treeboard and for everybody, but also just your passion for this community and for supporting this community is infectious and it's wonderful and we're going to miss you so much. So, thank you for all that you poured in. >> Thank you guys. >> Uh let's move into our consensus motions, which includes appointing a new member to the tree board. >> We have We did not have open form and I appreciate you both like smacking the table in front of me like wait a minute. Uh open form. Uh our opportunity on the agenda, open things up, open the floor up. Anybody that's joining us in the audience that would like to talk about anything that's on your mind, please feel free step up to the podium, state your name and address for the record and proceed with your comments. Always keeping me in check. All right. Uh now we'll move into consensus motions which includes appointing a replacement on the tree board. So we're going to keep that board at full strength. Uh we have A through I in front of us. Uh council members, anybody want to pull anything for individual consideration? Hearing none. Can I get a motion to approve of consensus motions A through I as presented? >> Uh Mr. Mayor, I'll move we approve consensus motions A through I presented. >> There's a motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Second. >> Motion and a couple seconds. Uh all those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. And those motions are approved. Uh let's move into checking with our advisory boards and commissions. The planning commission met on April 2nd. Council member uh Severson is their liaison. Gary. >> Yes. Yes, they did meet. Uh a couple of things that they talked about uh at their at their meeting. Uh one was the zoning amendment. They had a public hearing um regarding the zoning amendment regard uh in relative to RV storage that we uh have talked about. Um there were no public comments on that uh particular amendment but there was some limited discussion amongst the planning commission and then also they uh uh were presented an overview of the 2050 comp plan update and uh just try to give them sort of an educational background of what's coming up with that. So >> great uh parks and w also met council member Morham you are their liaison. Yeah, I know. Uh we met in March and I believe we had LHB the uh design team consultants helping with the uh design work at multiple new parks across Oakdale. We've got GU in the north tower in the south and eventually looking at Tanners. So it was great to talk through that process. A lot of excitement around being able to put some resources back into these parks. And we recently just had the engagement at Golf View to the north. And you know what I learned council friends? Kids love swings. What? It's amazing. It doesn't matter which park you go to. If you know, if you're a kid in Oakdale, you just love swings. So, my daughter also tends to agree. So, it's great to hear what people like and they want to see more of. And please look at the survey online and there's more opportunities to continue to pro provide that feedback. >> Fantastic. Thank you, Andy. Uh, tree board did not meet. All right. Awarded nothing. Staff reports. Uh, Oh, no community development, huh? That's weird. You always have something, Andy. >> Well, mayor council, you get me anyways from Washington County. >> Let's check in with our city attorney first because I'm sure he has a lengthy presentation for us. Jim, what do you got? >> By lightning, you mean very fast. Yes, I have a very fast presentation. Happy to answer any questions. >> Anybody have any questions for Jim? >> All right. Uh, let's move into administrator's report. And I believe our community development director is going to take the first item. >> Yes. Thank you, mayor and council. Andy Gizoff, community development director. Item before you is the um acceptance of a grant from Washington County for the 2026 municipal recycling um program in the amount of $53,364. Uh our ordinance uh requires grants to be accepted by resolution. Um this is uh an annual grant that the city has awarded and it's a a great partnership between the city and uh Washington County. Um the city's environmental management commission um often has feedback on the programs that are included as part of that program. Purpose of the grant in some is really to assist municipalities in recycling program expenses. In 2025, funding was used to encourage recycling and reuse and waste reduction through educational content, promoting Washington County programs like food scraps pickup, purchasing dual waste bins for our new uh Willowbrook parks, and covering grant eligible costs for the 2025 cleanup event this September. Um programming is very similar again for this year, promoting residential and commercial recycling and and reuse. uh promoting composting as a means of waste reduction with the county's uh released Washington County food scraps pickup program in in uh increasing recycling access with expanding the dual stream bins throughout our park system and then hosting events that uh provide recycling re use opportunities such as the citywide cleanup uh which will be its third year coming forward and the newly added clothing swap which I the mayor will likely talk about during uh during his council update uh that will be part of the ecoair this year. Um with that, mayor and council, I'd be happy to answer any questions about the grant award. >> Council members, do we have any questions for Mr. Gitloff on the Washington County grant? >> Nope. >> All right. Uh who would like to make the motion? I move we wave reading and adopt resolution 2026-20 accepting 2026 municipal recycling grant funds in the amount of 53,364 from Washington County to the city of Oakdale. >> There's a motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Final comments. All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. And that resolution is adopted. One more item. You want to make that one? >> Oh yeah, I can keep going. I I author >> it's related to the same >> authorize the city I move we authorize the city administrator to execute the grant agreement. >> There's a motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Uh any comments? All those in favor say I. I. >> Opposed. Now authorization is given. It really throws you off at the top of >> it. Doesn't the words don't say the same thing. Yes. >> We got there. It's fine. All right. So, that one is all set. Uh, next up, uh, GMP agreement. Chris, do you want to tee this up? >> I do. Thank you, mayor and council. In fact, I'm going to go through it unless you have questions, then Don can absolutely come up. Um, we hit another milestone in the um police expansion and and city hall remodel project. We um are done with bid package one. Big patch package two is going out for bid. Um what you see before you is a motion to approve the um GMP which is a guaranteed maximum price for this final design phase and it'll set up the construction documents um for the next phase which will construction will begin June 1st. So city hall I should mention this is a good opportunity maybe to mention that city hall and the police are moving out of this building off this campus during this construction. So this is a final action. We will um receive all the bids in May. So, what this motion is before you is um to authorize the GMP, the guaranteed maximum price for that for that bid package for the project um to the amount of $7.9 million. Approve the prequalified subcontractor list for this package. It's a very long list and it is in your packet. We did all the work ahead of time. State law now provides provides that we do that. It's not just an open bid. We pre-qualify or actually the construction manager pre-qualifies. That's the second thing you're approving. And the third thing is um authorize KA, our construction manager, Cross Anderson, to solicit the bids for this after this. Again, design is done. We're into construction. So, this is a very important milestone for the city. >> Uh is there any questions? >> Council members, any questions for Chris? >> How about any questions for Don? >> Don, anything to add? All right. Uh who would like to make the motion? >> I move to approve the grant. the guaranteed maximum price agreement for the police expansion city hall remodel project in the amount of $7,940,000 or $489. Approve the pre-qualified subcontractor list for bid package 2 per the letter from Krauss Anderson dated April 14th, 2026 and authorize Krauss Anderson to solicit bids for bid package 2. >> There's a lot. Uh there's a motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Final comments. >> All those in favor say I. I opposed and that approval is given. Approvals plural. Uh all right. Thank you. Uh last item Chris. >> Um mayor and council. We generally pull off um we don't put donations to the city on the consent agenda because it needs a twothirds vote. So I want So this is another one we we've been receiving a lot of good donations um throughout the year. And this one is from Andy Morome, resident of Oakdale. Um, for the 2026 Summerfest parade, he donated $500. So, what you have per per our rules is a resolution in front of you to accept that amount of $500. Five almost said 500,000. $500 over >> a parade. >> We'll take no for the Summerfest parade. So, I'm looking for a motion to approve and we want to thank Mr. Morome for that donation. All right.

Is there a second? >> Second >> motion and second. Any conversation? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> Opposed. And that donation is graciously accepted. Thank you to resident Andy Morham. Chris, anything else for us? >> Um, no. But I'm glad to answer any questions. >> All right. Anybody have anything for Chris? Uh, just welcome back. Your first meeting back. Um, >> great to be here. >> Yes. Nice to have you back. So, all right. We'll move into council presentations. Um, let's do the action item first and then I'll go through my updates. So, uh, unusual for us to have an action item under council presentations, but this is a very unique one. Uh, the city recently concluded our hiring process for, uh, Chris's replacement when she retires at the at the end of June. Um, we had an incredibly comprehensive process. I think 76 73 applications in total um individuals wanting to bring their expertise to to our community which is absolutely outstanding. Uh the city council reviewed uh through a consult our consultant um reviewed all all applicants uh right out of the gate uh forwarded recommendations on to the city council. State Council reviewed, I believe, 14 um individuals, interviewed uh five in person, and we are absolutely thrilled um with the uh the hire we're going to be making tonight. Um we are welcoming Kelly Bourgeoa, verified the pronunciation on YouTube. Um Kelly comes uh to us to Oakdale by way of Bristol, Tennessee, where she is the current city manager. Um before that um a long career in uh local government here in Minnesota, Columbia Heights Becker um she is an attorney um brings a law background which is uh fantastic for us um that it's always great to have a diverse uh set of skills and experience in our community. Um we are um excited to welcome her. Her first day will be June 16th uh 2026. And so we encourage all members of the public um if you are well I guess we'll be displaced from this building on her first day but um if you have an opportunity to meet Kelly um you know she will be out and about uh meeting uh all of the the the civic organizations community organizations in Oakdale um please stop by say hi um she wants to get to know as many people in our community as possible understand what makes uh Oakdale such a unique and special place to to live work and play. Um, so tonight we're taking action on making the appointment and um approving the employment agreement with Kelly. Um, so I'm going to make the motion per city uh per city of Oakdale code of ordinances chapter 2 article 3 section 2-34 in Minnesota statute 412-11 that the city council approves the appointment of Kelly Bourgeoa as a city employee with a start date of June 16th 2026 and as city administrator with a start date of June 22nd 2026 or a date uh different date mutually agreed to by the city of Oakdale and Kelly Bourgeoa. Approves employment agreement between the city of Oakdale and Kelly Bourgeoa. directs the city of Oakdale signatories to sign and execute the agreement and establishes that Christine M. Vulkarers will remain employed by the city from June 22nd, 2026 through June 30th, 2026, her last day of employment with the city. We should have put a sad face on that date. Um, long motion council members, can I get a second? >> Second. >> Motion a second. Comments >> only to say that I'm I'm excited for what skills and talents that she brings. It was a very rigorous process when we did all the interviews and it's she's the right one for Oakdale. >> Agreed. Uh, anybody else want to add anything? >> I think just what Chris has brought here to the city of Oakdale has been absolutely incredible and I know there's plenty of time for us to do this, but um, this action has two sides, right? And um, just want to recognize Chris for everything she's done here. >> It'll be great. We're hosting a roast for Chris's idea. I thought you'd be fun. Uh, okay. Back to this. All right. We had a motion to second some conversation. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. And that recommendation is adopted enthusiastically. 5-0. So, we are excited for that. Uh, I have a whole bunch of announcements. Spring is always a crazy busy time in our community. Uh, so let's rattle through them. It is severe weather awareness week. You know, probably should, well, we didn't end up having any yesterday, thankfully. But, um, our timing is good. Uh, mother nature can spin up a storm at any any moment's notice. So, it's an important reminder during severe weather awareness week to always remain prepared for Minnesota's unpredictable weather. Uh, it's also a good week to create and practice your emergency plan as well as build and update your emergency preparedness kit. Uh, one of the key events during the week is the annual statewide tornado drill that will take place on Thursday, April 16th. Uh, outdoor warning sirens will sound at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Um, so keep an ear out for those. Uh, speaking of weather, the engagement event for Tower Park that was rescheduled due to weather, uh, I believe last last week, two weeks ago, it was cold. It was snowy. Yeah, we didn't want to do it. Um, it will be this Wednesday, April 15th, uh, from 4 to 6:00 p.m. Uh, we hope to see a lot of residents out at Tower Park providing feedback on what the playground amenities at that park should look like. You can visit the city website, oakdalemn.gov, for all of the updates um associated with that that uh engagement event. Also, a reminder, park cleanup week runs April 20th through the 26th. Uh and we still need a few more volunteers to help uh clear debris that has accumulated in our city parks over the winter months. It is a great short-term project for businesses, scout troops, residents willing to lend a helping hand. Garbage bags are provided and each participant will receive a complimentary gift. Uh for more information and to claim a park that you want to clean up, um you can check check out the city website, oakdalemn.gov. Uh I want to touch on this one a little bit. Always such fantastic turnout from residents each year. Um you know, we all know how winter works. You know, stuff accumulates, stuff blows around. Um and to kind of kick off the the summer season um with just, you know, a coordinated effort to go through all of our city parks, clean up all of that rubbish uh and just start things off on the right foot um is incredibly appreciated by uh for by all volunteers and by all of our residents. So um we want to say thank you to everybody that signs up and does that and encourage if you haven't signed up uh quite yet to please do so. Uh, the Oakdale Ecoare and Clothing Swap will be held on Saturday, April 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Castle Elementary School located at 667550th Street North. These free events are open to the public and offer information on a variety of environmental topics and initiatives. And like any good expo, there's always free stuff. You know, everybody likes the swag. Um, so come on out and join us. There will also be uh family-friendly activities throughout the day. There will also be a food truck. Uh, we're really excited about this part. New this year is the clothing swap that's been added to the ecoair. Um we are still accepting donations through this Friday during regular business hours both at city hall and the discovery center. So if you are doing some spring cleaning, cleaning out your closet, you have a few clothing items that you know may not be your taste or in my case not fit anymore um but they're still perfectly usable and you don't want to throw them away, you know, this is a great opportunity to help find them a new home. So um bring them down to city hall, bring them to the discovery center. um we will get them put out, organized and put out and the the clothing fair is just, you know, come and grab what you want. You don't even have to donate anything to take something else. Um we just want to uh do our part to keep these usable clothes and shoes out of landfills and find them a new home. So, uh really excited. Our environmental management commission has been a big um big supporter of of this adding this clothing swap this year. So, a big thank you to them and thank you to our city staff. Uh I was in here on Thursday and this entire room was packed with clothes and they have done incredible work organizing it, getting it um getting it all ready for this event on the 25th. So a big thank you to them. Another great idea or another great example of when we throw a crazy idea at our city staff and they just take it and run with it and knock it out of the park. And so we really do appreciate that. Also on the 25th, Pete Greski Arbor Day tree giveaway. um 50 51st year that we're doing this. Registration opened on at 8:00 a.m. on April 1st. Within 6 hours, all 200 bear retreats had been reserved. This event continues to be one of our most popular events each year and we look forward to seeing everybody that pre-registered at this event. Also, a fun one, um our new public works facility is ready to open and we are throwing a party. Um so, please save the date for the grand opening of this new public works facility. Uh we want to invite the public to join us Saturday, May 2nd. We will be cutting the ribbon at 10:30. Um, city staff will be offering walking tours of the new facility located at 3200 Granada Avenue North immediately following that 10:30 ribbon cutting. Um, and will take place every 30 minutes until the event concludes at 1:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend. We're going to have snacks. We're going to have fun. No need to RSVP. Show up. Pray for some sunny weather. Um but we are really excited to um welcome the public into this uh our new or our first um city building in decades or first new city building in decades. Um this has been a huge endeavor for many many years now. It started with um obviously the local option sales tax that our voters approved twice um in order to make this uh project financially feasible. Um this public works campus is truly a facility that um will support everything from tree canopies to water and sewer, plow trucks um for decades to come. It is it is meeting the needs of our growing community um and ensuring that we can maintain that high level of service that our residents have come to know and really appreciate. So we want you to come out and join us on May 2nd. Lots going on um which is pretty exciting. And if that's not enough, we finished one construction project and we're starting the next one. Uh construction for the expansion of our police department and remodel of our city hall is expected to begin in June. Uh the one thing we really want to emphasize here, um as city administrator Vulkers mentioned, we are closing down the building at 15th and Hadley. Um obviously it's going to be an active construction zone. We don't want our employees here. We don't want the public here. We want to allow the construction to happen um unimpeded and make sure everybody is safe. So, we're moving everybody out for about a year and a half and it's going to be a little scattered. So, we appreciate the public's patience, but um a full rundown of who's going where and when can be found on the city website, uh oakellmn.gov. Um the highlevel version of it is the police department is moving to the south fire station on 15th Street. Um all of the fire department is consolidating in the north fire station. They're going to get chummy up there, but they're very excited. Um and we appreciate them uh working with us as well. Inperson City Hall services will be at the new public works campus on Granada Avenue. Um so it's a good thing we're cutting that ribbon now so they can move in there. Um there's assorted dates throughout May when this will be happening. The the short version of it is, you know, by June 1st, this building will be closed to the public. City council meetings will be at the discovery center. Um so we want to ensure that all public services still remain available to the public. they will just be in a different location. Um, and so we appreciate, again, we appreciate the public's patience as we go through this construction process. If you have questions, reach out to any of us, reach out to our staff, check out the city website, oakdalem.gov for all of the information and dates. Told you it's busy in Oakdale in spring. All right, claims roster. We got bills to pay. Oh, council members, does any may have any I'm sorry, uh, any council presentations? Can I reiterate one of your proclamations? Um, so you all know that I am on the board of a dog rescue and I foster dogs. And so I just really want to put an exclamation point on doing your pet ID, but not just getting it done, keeping it updated so that when you move or when your phone number changes or anything like that is keeping up with it.
