Based on the context provided for the City of Moose Lake, here is the transcribed townhall meeting with speaker identifications. *** **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** How big is Randall? So it's probably not a large town that they've had. Yeah, I mean. Numerous chases and. It's a 2016 with 9900 miles on it. Probably a good shape. I'll keep my motion at 14,000. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Okay, again, I second it, so go for it. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any further questions, discussion? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? motion carried that brings back to the second part of that net is the 2018. Squad car. If if we don't get the bid on the 17th. Would we go ahead and purchase the 2018 I guess that would be the motion. **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** I guess if I could ask if you can maybe also include in there, or if they happen to call back and say that somebody else is wanting to purchase it and we need to do it, then it's okay to go ahead and do and withdraw our bid if we need to. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Very good. Counsel? **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** I just got a question before I go into this. We've known, I think, for about eight months that the prices were gonna go up to $6,000 more and they're putting it on a different chassis. Why did we wait Maybe you can answer this to the last moment to try to order the squad. **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** We ordered the squad the very next day after budget approval to do so. And it was called in to Ranger Chevrolet. And at that time, the deadline wasn't our fault. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** It wasn't in your budget for the first of the year to get a squad? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** Well, after the city council had approved it in the budget, yes. It's in the 2019 budget. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Okay, that's what I was wondering is why. Because this has been common knowledge in law enforcement for quite some time. That's why I was wondering why we wait. **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** The 2020 is going to go up. Yeah. And we were at, we actually were just trying to get a 2019, which we thought would have given us a year and a half to get the vehicle. When we got city, at the time of the city council's budget meeting, the deadline was the 21st of October. And they... it Ford called up and changed it and said that they met the maximum amount of units they can build in that period of time and they moved it to the 12th and anything after that that was put in for an order was put on the chopping block there's 3,000 units across the nation that got cut off. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Was our person just not aware of the change of the date that they do? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** All the dealerships just got handled this like a day or two and they didn't know for sure if they were going to honor any of them within so many days after that day or if they were just going to chop them. So we had to wait an additional, it was about three days before he got back to me and said that he'd gotten a letter back from Ford and ours was on the chopping block. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** And this is the state bid, right? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** Yes. So they buy so many units to think they're going to cover and if they don't have them, you're out. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Well, and when they fixed the line over at Ford, they they set it up to run a certain period of time with a certain amount of cars that they're gonna build in that time period and then they'd switch it over to build a different model. And they said they met the amount that they could make already and that's the reason for the change in the deadline. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I'll make the motion then to accept the quote for the 2018 police interceptor unit for a grand total of that $47,728 plus we're going to have to put that radar unit upon that we do not get the bid from the city of Randall for that squad. Or if they call us? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Or if they call us. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** And need to order that one? **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** motion you have a second **[Timestamp] Council Member:** i'll say you know with his **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** any further discussion questions **[Timestamp] Council Member:** i thought that we were going to get them both **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** no no no we're only getting one **[Timestamp] Council Member:** that brings up a good question why couldn't we get them both i thought that was a good idea too but i wasn't gonna say **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** i mean we would get one at fourteen thousand dollars for the vehicle that we would probably need to put another 8,000 into? Let's just say for easy math. **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** It would be about 4,000. Okay. So... We have to put in the computer mount systems, which came back at $1,300 and some dollars, and then we'd have to put in the camera system, which comes back at about 4, so a little over 5,000. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Okay, so a little over 5,000. For easy math, we'll call it $20,000. Why... what's 14,000 plus a little over five, a little over $19,000. Why would we spend an extra $20,000 and have four police vehicles if we only use two most of the time and one is a backup? We're already going to have a backup with the way that we have it set up now by purchasing one of these, do we need two backups? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I guess the question would be is what are the miles on those that are considered backup? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** I guess if you want to ride with me someday, I can put you in at 155 and see if you want to go with one of your backups and see how that feels. What I'm saying is we're putting people's lives in danger and we're putting them in squads that aren't, in my opinion, safe. from what I've seen of the backup squad. And that's all I'm asking is if there's an opportunity to get a squad at under half the price, I think that we should do it. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Are you also saying then sell the pickup truck? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Sell whatever the backup is that we're not going to use, you bet, and then help make that easier. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Yeah, I would agree with that. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Sell the charger as well as the pickup then. And then if you look down the road, we're looking at probably three years to the next one. We're always going to have one with low miles because if we got both of them, by chance, that used one would be our backup, and it would be sitting in the garage most of the time, other than being used for court and stuff like that. So the miles are going to stay way down on it. So we're always going to have a fresh vehicle, as Doug said. It's going to make the longevity of the vehicles a lot better. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Do you know what the mileage is on the Charger? That's the oldest one, isn't it? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** Yeah. I believe... think the charger is nineties maybe a little over a hundred something thousand and I think the truck is probably well I'm guessing that's gotta be getting pretty close to a two-seeing that price drives it daily I mean our squad now has got 70 thoughts 70 almost 77,000 on it **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** truck is a pursuit rated vehicle correct **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** And that's another point there as well that I guess I didn't think about either. It's not a pursuit rated vehicle? **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Yeah, you're not going to be pursuing people. Why do we have it? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** Well, because we live in Minnesota. I think that's four-wheel. That's, I think, why we bought it was for the... It was the cheaper in the state bids at the time, and it also had the four-wheel drive in it. For the winter. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** And getting around in the wintertime is pretty horrendous around here, especially getting up the hills and forbs, the boulevard or whatever, you know, the charger. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Open up our eyes. We also have pickups that aren't pursuit rated. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Okay, so why don't we do this? I think you still need to finish the vote on the second one. Why don't you finish that one? And if somebody wants to make a third motion to do all of what you just talked about, then we can do that one. who made the motion for it? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I did. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Mike did. You seconded it. I think you seconded it. Well, that's his. Yeah, we do have the motion and the second. So all in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Per the discussion, are there any other motions or discussion on the vehicles. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I would make a motion that if we are fortunate enough to get the Randall vehicle $14,000 that we also purchased the 2018 which is a savings of $1,500 from the other vehicles. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I'll second that. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I'll open that up for discussion. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** So cash flow wise we're going to have enough carry over for next year. So we budgeted for a new squad so we can pay for... But for this year, we've got to pay for it, right? Both of these. Yeah, and I mean, yes, we have enough money to purchase the vehicle this year and just carry it on into the next year. Budget-wise, what this will do is we will just end up spending a little over $19,000 just extra. That's the budget, yeah. Hopefully we'll make that up and turn any other two in. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** The charger's gonna help pay for one, but the truck can help pay for the other one. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** I don't know personally, I don't think we need to do this. If we have all the vehicles are operating and the spare car supposedly is or will be operating, just my personal belief I don't **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I would just say that this isn't your personal vehicle that you drive to work every day this is a pursuit rated vehicle that we're putting people's lives in that are employed by the city of Moose Lake I think there's some culpability if an officer gets hurt in a vehicle that's not that has a hundred some thousand miles on it or approaching a hundred thousand miles on it we have a pretty we have a investment in the people that work here and they have a right to be safe so that's i guess that's my opinion **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** any other comments discussion **[Timestamp] Council Member:** i would just say thank you you put that there any eloquently **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** first time mr administrator any comments questions **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** i mean the only thing that i would say is that we would be selling the charger and the truck if we did this **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** okay okay would that equipment that's in the two vehicles would they could they be used on let's say we end up say the vote says yes we'll buy both of them would that cover a lot of the expense on the the 2016 instead of another four thousand could that the ripple stuff our prices truck and put it into the the used squad um... **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** there uh... well the use god is fully equipped already **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** can we put out of brice's truck and put it in the news what **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** uh... we could put the camera system could be transferred over to it but the mounting hardware for the computer would have to be bought that was like thirteen hundred just because it's a different setup right now it's set up for uh... Toughbook. We have patrol PC. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Okay. Just so we know we can utilize some of that to help. **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** The system is about $4,000. So that we can transfer out of the truck into. Sure. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any other questions? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Anything else? **[Timestamp] Kelly Lake (Sheriff):** Mike I don if you guys don thank you thank you thank you I see we had 168 calls for the month so another busy month thank you very much **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** yeah moving on to 4b public works superintendent report **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** mr. mayor members of the council another busy month we had water department distributed 4.3 million gallons drinking water in the month of September. Hydrant flushing is completed. Hydrant maintenance is also completed. All hydrants in town were flushed, are pumped out, anti-freezed, winterized for winter. We actually got away with not wrecking anything for a change, so it was kind of nice. Usually we always have something let loose. end up costing some money but we did pretty good this year. The sewer department we collected 12.3 million gallons of wastewater. The month of September we did complete a discharge. That was 33 million gallons of wastewater that was out there. October we'll be starting that discharge here the end of this month. As far as our phosphorus removal system, that's all lined up and we, as you can see in the bills this month, we ordered more ferric to treat our phosphorus, so on and so forth. And that system is working very, very well. I know every month I sit up here and tell you the same thing, just like a broken record, but I am very, very impressed with that system and it is working very well. And so far, the PCA loves what we're doing and we're fitting right into where we need to be. So life is good in sewer department. Lift station cleaning is scheduled for next week. It was going to be this week, but with all this rain, not even going to attempt it because we're just going to wreck stuff and break stuff, and it's going to be bad. So we're going to kick it off a week. Lift station calibrations are scheduled for the week of the 22nd. The street CIP program is scheduled to start on the 22nd as well with me or myself and the engineers. October 24th, I'll be attending wastewater training. through the Minnesota Real Water Association that's actually held right here in Kettle River. So it'll be good to have some local support for Dave and Kettle River out there for the surrounding communities and get some more faces out there. It's just a good networking group to be a part of. I mean, it's free, and I need hours anyway, so we might as well take advantage of it. One other thing I wanted to touch on here. Last Tuesday, we were no two Tuesdays ago I'm sorry the 25th I was down in St. Cloud at the Minwarn annual board meeting and I I went in there not knowing what to expect and figured I'd sit in the back row and do emails on my phone and just be there because I had to be it turns out I by the time the meeting was over with I ended up having some conversations with some representatives from Min Warren from Minnesota Rural Water from the PCA and Rural Water has donated two enclosed trailers and what they are is they're emergency response trailers and they're 16 foot long. They're donated to the Min Warren program. They want to stage one about halfway through the state. northern half of the state in southern half of the state these trailers are equipped with pumps temporary pumps generators there's even temporary lift station equipment in these things it's like a rollable lift station that goes down the highway this is a huge asset this this will also have those water balloon barriers you see on lakeshore drive every two three four years we put them up they'll have those in there already so there won't be any running to the cities to drag home a bunch of stuff to try to set up and see to get it here and find out if half it doesn't work because it's not the right stuff. That meeting was probably if this all goes well I actually stood up in the middle of meeting and talked to a few people and kind of went out of my comfort zone. There was a lot of people in our room so it was kind of but I think with your guys' approval I got the approval from them to house that trailer here in Moose Lake and since we were members All we need is a lightable, a lit, well-lit area at night to have this trailer stored. It's all locked up. It's all taken care of. If anything is stolen, damaged, whatever in this trailer, in this trailer, it's all covered under legal Minnesota insurance and our agreement with Minwar. So this is, if this goes through, which I'll be at another meeting next month for this, this is going to be huge. I mean, this is going to be, very huge not having to spend all this money and go and find all this stuff and try to track it down and people leaving at midnight to go to the cities to grab equipment to come here and and this this also will work as far as other members of midworn so the city of floodwood needs activates midworn event and they need this trailer well it's already only 40 miles away instead of 140 down in the cities so not only are we we have this asset right here literally in our backyard. We're also helping out other communities that could also very well need this equipment. So I'm with your approval and I'm sure you guys are all on board with this. I mean, if you aren't, I'd be very surprised because it's a very foolish move not to be. So I guess I got everybody's, we're okay, we're all good. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I just have a question. Yeah, go ahead. So what happens if several people need it at the same time? **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** Well, so that's part of this whole thing where everyone comes up with equipment list, which we already have one that's already on the Minwarn list, that if the resources that are available in these trailers are already gone, then other cities donate their equipment if they're not being used. We donated, we sent pumps to, where did we send pumps? Rochester, not Rochester, Little Town next to Rochester. And that was through our agreement as well. One of the real water guys was flying by on the freeway and they swung in and grabbed three bumps and they brought him back a week later. I mean, it's part of the equipment we have. If somebody needs it worse than we do, obviously, you know, they need it a lot worse. We did the same thing in 2012 and we did do a little bit of it in 2016. So moving forward with this, they're very excited that we are showing an interest in this. So I think I'm going, if it's all right with you guys, I'm going to continue to pursue this. here and there and so on and so forth. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I think we have consensus. Do we need a motion, Mayor? I don't know if we do need a motion. There's nothing from the Min Warden standpoint we do. Where are you considering storing it where it would be safe? **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** I think right away, I think a couple of places like the police department. That was my first one. Secondly, I don't think you guys are aware of it quite yet, but Tim and I have been talking about some lockable outside storage at the shop. And that's a conversation we can have another day just because of the way that is set up. We have a lot of area that can be easily and quite cheaply lockable with exterior gates, commercial gates, to allow this trailer to sit outside or more equipment that we have to sit outside, so on and so forth. But it's stuff that people won't be able just to walk up to it or rummaging around it or wreck or do whatever, so on and so forth. Other than that, That's all I got. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I think you have consensus. Good job, Phil. Thank you. Thank you for going out and coming. **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** Thank you, Phil. Oh, there was like 150 people in that room, too. Proud of you. Yes. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Moving on to 4C Technology Library Report. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Page 38 has the report. One big thing to note is the section number two is the summer reading stats. And at the bottom of that section, it talks about how this year was more than double in all of the categories above last year. So that's pretty cool to see from the library. That's it, that's all I have. Unless you have any questions on it. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Council? Thank you. Thank you. Moving on to 4D engineer report. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** That starts on page 39. They're still working on the water model project. Probably will continue to do that for a few months. Phil talked a little bit about the capital improvement project for the streets they'll be driving around. Nollwood Drive, they are putting the feasibility study together and then also are reaching out to an appraisal company to talk about how assessments would work and things like that. They'll bring that back. The trail school connection, I think I have that later on so we can talk a little bit more about that. Local road improvement project funding, he's going to send me the requirements so we can take a look and see if we would have any roads that would qualify for that. Other than that, that's about it. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any questions by the council? Hearing none. Move on to number 4E, Chamber of Commerce updates. **[Timestamp] Lois (Chamber of Commerce):** Well, this is the big weekend of the commemoration of the fires of 1918. It's the 100th anniversary. We have events planned at the Depot and Museum. There's a bus tour on Saturday at 10 o'clock, but I think there's a few seats left on that bus yet. That includes a lunch for $40. And then, 10 o'clock in the afternoon is a commemoration program. Kurt Brown, an author of Fires of 19 book is gonna be speaking at the museum in the afternoon. And he'll also be available to sign his books. And Sunday, there's another bus tour. This one will be going out to the outlying areas of one on Saturday is closer to town, just out to Dead Man's Corner, near Kettle River and area between there and Moose Lake. And I believe they're going to be doing a tour of Moose Lake too. And there'll be a short ceremony Saturday at Riverside Cemetery. They've found all the markers in the ground on the mass grave where about 200 people were buried that died in the area. And those will be marked with white crosses. So there'll be a little ceremony there at the beginning of the bus tour Saturday at about 20 minutes, and there'll be a prayer. Like I said, Sunday the tour will be out more in the outlying areas. And four o'clock on Sunday, there's a concert at the Moose Lake School with Prudence Johnson and Dan Cunyard. Prudence is from Moose Lake, and they're gonna put together a program about... you know, songs from 1918 and about the fire and things. So it should be a good weekend. This is a historical society event, but it's on the chamber calendar. So chamber events, there's really nothing scheduled until the Santa visit on December 8th. So any questions? **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** No, just lots of work. Thank you. We got our meeting tomorrow at Lazy Moose at noon, the board meeting for the chamber. You're all welcome. That Sunday tour, bus tour that you're talking about, what time does that start? Is that that? **[Timestamp] Lois (Chamber of Commerce):** That's at 1230 and that bus is full. 1230? Yeah. Mm-hmm. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Thank you very much, Lois. Appreciate it. Moving on to number five, previously discussed business, 5A is a gas franchise fee. Mr. Administrator? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Nothing there. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** 5B, the 20, do you mean 16 flood? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Nope. 2018 flood? Yep. Anything? Yeah, the president declared that as a state of emergency, so we were approved to get reimbursement from FEMA for 75% and Homeland Security for the other 25%. So Phil has part of the projects are the lift station cleaning, a bunch of gravel work, and then next spring, Phil will have a few projects to wrap up as well. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Very good. How about on the hill, that road that was washed out? Third Street? I don't know what the name of it was. **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** Yeah, it is. Third Street. The gravel road that washes out every time. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Yeah, that's Third Street. So that was class five. So that's part of the stuff that we'll... We had enough class five for all the projects that we needed class five for. So now we just need to bring the class five back. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Perfect. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Any other questions? Council? Hearing none. 5C, water budget. CA, set rates. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** So in between... the initial setting of our levy and the the final levy meeting in december i figured it was a good time to set some of the enterprise fund budgets the water fund is the first one here it starts on page 41 the biggest thing that we need to do is set the motion needs to include the revenue dollar amount the expenditure dollar amount and then maybe in a separate motion if there is a change in rates, do that in a separate motion. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Are they in there sideways? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** They are. You can just turn your iPad. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** It turns with us. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I so move that we accept the report of the 1918, if you want. revenues the 20 are we doing a rate increase or you see that's a 3% rate increases what suggested so that's that's not in there so for that that would be the 3% increase would be an additional seven thousand five hundred seven thousand five hundred dollars correct so but you said you wanted the revenues and the expenditures mentioned in the motion yep so if we're doing the three percent increase so i'd have to say the 19 then the 2019 amounts the 2019 revenue would be 261 600 and then the expenditures would be correct and the 2019 expenses would be 258 713 And my motion would be with a 3% increase of that 7,500. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** And what was that after? Wait a minute, that would be a question after it. Do I have a second? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Second. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Open for questions or discussion? **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** And I can't remember what you said this would cost per household? This increase? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** 3% is 68 cents per month. Per month, okay. that's what it so just to for one thing it has to have the dollar amount for revenue and the dollar amount for the expenditures okay **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** we have a motion in a second any further questions all in favor say aye **[Timestamp] Council Members:** aye **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** opposed motion carried any other items on number c Moving on to 5D sewer budget. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** And that's on page 44. Yes. So this one I am suggesting a 1% rate increase. 1%, 2%, and 3% are on page 45. Again, any rate change would need to be added into this, so just tell me ahead of time and I'll add it up for you real quick. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** And a 1% increase per month is 25 cents per household? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Yes. Average usage? Yes. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** All right. Counsel? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** My only concern with that is that if we keep looking at how we're going backwards, if you went with the 2%, it would be 50 cents a month, and the two together would be $1.18, which if you look at for me the big picture if we went with our levy amount, with the levy amount we're really hitting people high when we have to go above that 3%, 4%, whatever that is. This is a way that we can keep our fund balances looking good. I don't think that the 2% would be that much of a reach to go another quarter. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** And I think that this is the maybe the strangest fund that we have in the sense that it has the reserve balance right now is is sufficient however we we always have a net loss in the sewer fund and will continue even with a 1%, a 2%, a 3%. All we're doing with a higher increase is kind of slowing that decrease down in that fund balance. I mean, we will still lose money in the sewer fund. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** And I understand that and my concern is that if we can stave off the drop, the plummet, and go with a 2% rather than to say, well, if we went with a 1%, you know, a 2% isn't gonna be that noticeable either. And I don't think $1.18 combined for these two funds would be the same as my comparison was the levy would hurt a lot more than these small increments. And it's a quarter. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I thought there was a motion. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Yeah, but I don't know the figures. I'm just saying I was supposed to see a 2%. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Okay, so 2% is $581,650 for revenue. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** $581,650. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** And expenditures would be $276,000, I'm sorry. Oh, that's the operating, yep. The operating expenditures would be $276,307, and the debt payments would be $334,000. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** And that would equal a 50 cent increase per month in a household. Plus the $6.00, the two together would be $1.18. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Correct. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** And that was your motion. My motion with those figures in there that the city administrator was still coming. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Do we have a second? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Second. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any further question, discussion? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Under 5E set rates for mv budget. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** and while i wish we could set we'll go back to the 5e set rates for mv budget well i wish that we could set rates for the dmv we cannot so that was a mix-up on the on the lettering there so this is just the dmv budget um the revenue is 100 or i'm sorry one million nine hundred and forty six thousand nine hundred The expenses would be $1,956,850.79. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any motion? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Yep. I'll make a motion to approve that motor vehicle budget. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Do I have a second? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I'll second it. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any further questions, discussion? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Under 5F, one thing. I know you had talked to some legislatures about this. Anything at all come of that? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Nothing would come of it until the next legislative session next year. I'm going to send our state representative and our state senator just a letter explaining Basically, I think the fee structure for the DMV is wrong based on the amount of work that the communities do versus the amount of work that the state does now. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Yeah. Thank you. Just for everyone's information. Moving on to 5F liquor store budget. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** uh the revenue budget is 1 million 365 300. um the expenditure would be 1 million 285 634 dollars and six cents **[Timestamp] Council Member:** i'll make a motion to approve that liquor store budget **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** do i have a second **[Timestamp] Council Member:** second **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** any questions discussion **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** looking if you if you look at the fund balance earlier in the agenda we have under the liquor store I know you can even working hard on this but that shows $275,000 in miscellaneous is there any way that we can shore that miscellaneous up so it shouldn't be 200 was it 250 275,000 as it transfers I'm sure a lot of it is transfers **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** and part of it is just because I switched halfway through the year and now I'm coding them. So half of the year is how we used to do it. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** All right. Well, we'll look at it again. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** So next year will be good for the entire year. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** All right. Thank you. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any other questions for the council? Hearing none, all in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Under 5G, trail grant, DOT, and safe routes to school. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I think that I talked a little bit about this one at the last council meeting. This would be a trail from the bridge on Highway 73 all the way down 73 to County Road 10 and then from 10 down to the school. The initial grant that we submitted was with MnDOT and the They received four applicants for a total of $2.4 million and they only have $1.4 million worth of funding available. So they called to ask how little we would take to still do the project and they asked that I would get back to them this week, which I haven't yet because I'm not sure how I want to answer that question quite yet. I'd like to find out a little bit more about maybe some of the other projects and if they're, like for instance, if the other three are all stoplights, I would just say we would like the full amount that we asked for based on the other projects. But if all of the other ones are, you know, to keep pedestrians off of state highways like ours is, then maybe it's to be a little bit more fair or something. But basically that grant is submitted, we just haven't found out the final amount that we could receive yet. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Very good, any questions? **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** So that first amount that they said is not on the table anymore? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I don, it's not that it's not on the table. I mean, I can call them up and tell them that that's the minimum that we'll take. We will only move forward with 862,000 or 863,000. I think what I'm likely to do is to call them and tell them that we could probably do it with something like 600,000 or something like that. When we were on the phone, we, We talked about 600 and then he said, how about four? It started getting worse and worse and I just kind of told him that I needed to think about it for a minute. So, not sure. Okay. But like I said, I can call him back and tell him that we can only do it with 860. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** And our objective is the whole project or nothing? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Well, so with state funding like the local road improvement project, the worst thing that we can do is say that we will do this project, they award us the money, and we don't do it. I think that... If we took the state funding and we came up short, how we would come up short is that we would only deal with the highway portion of it, which would save us some money, but then I think we would have troubles getting safer out to school money because their expectation would be that we would get all the way to the school. That being said, there's still funding that we're going to try to get through the county and through the DNR, so this all could pan out or it all could go... in a hurry. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Good job. Later on at some point, if you went with the lower amount and these other items, funding fell through, I suppose it's bad to pull out if they allocate money and then we pull out. You won't get a grant. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** It's true that if the other funding sources didn't come through, it would put us in a pickle, but I think that it is pretty safe to say that if we got $800,000 from the state, that Safe Routes to School is going to... partner with us on this project. Safe routes to school is only up to $300,000 I think. So most of the time, safe routes to school is your first funding source and you're always looking for all these other funding streams. This is the opposite where we would have all this money and we just need this little gap to get us there. So I think if we got a big chunk of money from the DOT, that would set us up with where we need to be with everybody else. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Are you looking for input from the council now on the dollar amount or is this informational for you and for us at this point? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Just informational. I have to find out a little bit more about the other projects that's submitted. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** All right. Council, any questions? Hearing none. We move on to new business, 6A. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I would like to move 6A to after L. Go through the... agenda first and then so we have a little bit time to discuss this at that point **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** sure **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I thought there would be somebody else here tonight but since there isn't that may give us some more time to look at the letter **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I think everyone's had the opportunity to look at the letter So are you saying you would rather handle it right now? **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** I'm just saying it's part of our packet unless there's like some historical data. I've met with the city administrator personally on this item. I don't have any other questions regarding it unless you have information that you'd like to add. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Well, concerning letter, are you considering, is the council considering taking action on the information given in the letter by Mr. Carlson? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I would not suggest that we take action on any of this right now. Some of it has requests for dollar amounts that we just wouldn't be able to do at this time. Some of it is longer term planning. And the third option is To do nothing and let it fail say you tried and it failed accept the responsibility that we will never know if it might have succeeded I don't know that that is really asking for Anything from the council. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Well, there are some requests here and like you said the money If the franchise fee once it is available **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** And that's what I mean that that's That would be in 2020, so we would have time to review that for a while or not. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Council? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Can I make a suggestion that we table this? because I thought there was going to be somebody here to speak on this and I don't know if there was a miscommunication or not and I consider mr. Carlson's request to be a legitimate crest excuse me legitimate request considering that we did make some motions that we passed in past years that that did not happen I guess that's why I would like that opportunity to present it to the council. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Sure. Moving on to 6B, drywall estimates for shop. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** The public works department has been Building out the back half of the shop. I think the walls are pretty much all the way done. Once they get it insulated, I think it would be wise to have somebody drywall it and prime it as well. So these quotes are to drywall and prime all the drywall that is put up. The first quote on page 53 is the low bid on this project. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** So this will be done this winter then? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I think you said they're six weeks out, something like that. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** And there's heat back there? Okay. I'll make a motion to accept the low bid for the drywall, for my deal drywall ink. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Do we have a second? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Second. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any other questions, discussion? Call in favor, say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carried. Under 6C, class 5 estimates. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** This is part of the 2018 flood stuff is that we just need to buy back the class 5 that we put down this one page 56 goble is the low bid on this one **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Council questions discussion motion **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** I just had just one thing I was on the committee when we redesigned the park down there and we always knew that it was designed to flood because if we built it up We're going to flood somebody else out. And that the road itself is the ditch. And each caretaker there, instead of grading it, they would just keep on filling. So then you'd get, there's no way for it to drain. So they need to look at it carefully and make sure that that road still is the drainage of that area. when you're filling because if you know filling sometimes isn't the answer because there's no place for it to drain off and it is always it is a wet area and we left it low on purpose so we didn't flood out the lakeshore homes because we could have filled it a lot more **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** I think the fill that he was talking about wasn't it for the the sites himself for the trailer sit on because the so the uh... were we're gonna time to two different things that this this is just class five that we used for like third street and for shoulder washouts and things like that what you guys are talking about is is for adding class five down into the campground which all i thought that's what this was well i mean this this will some class 5 down there but this is mostly just the class 5. Not the whole 890. So as far as the campground goes what Joe would like to do is to build up the sites not the road. And it's to your point. Yep. The water it'll make it so that just the trailers and the RVs aren't sinking into the ground but the water can still go across the road. Grading it off so. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** you're gonna have a swamp on a hill too so okay that was just just information out there **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I'll make a motion we accept the low bid to replace the 890 yards of class 5. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** second **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I'll second it any further questions discussion all in favor say aye **[Timestamp] Council Members:** aye **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** opposed motion carried 6D snowblower estimate **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** we sold the greater and we now have a credit at Sigler caterpillar so with that credit Phil would like to purchase a snowblower which I think just signs him up for more work but you know it's his equipment he gets to to do with it as he sees fit I guess but This would not take up the entire credit that we have and we'll carry that forward to next year. But you are requesting the 73 inch one without the truck chute. 7,000. **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** Yep, so $7,510 would be the cost of that. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Can I ask what are these numbers up here then? **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** those are a truck so one of the things that he was looking at was getting a longer shoot that would load a truck at the same time okay okay gotcha **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** council good size one okay **[Timestamp] Council Member:** and this would be mainly used on 73 27 those areas are Wherever you can. **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** The sidewalk out in front of the library. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I'll make a motion we purchase with the credit the 73 inch work snowblower. Yep. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Second. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** We're going for questions. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** So will you be able to blow it into a truck then? **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** No. That would be that other amount on top of that sheet. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** So then doing it in front of the library probably won't happen. **[Timestamp] Phil Entner (City Superintendent):** We end up loading everything out anyway. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** So there will be a little bit of credit left also? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Yes, and since we're on that topic, I'd like to just leave that credit there because we get all our filters, oils, so on and so forth for equipment. If it's already, we just use that money for it. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** either that or future purchases of other attachments? I would say let's just leave it there. I mean, we budget for filters and stuff like that. I think helping offset a capital purchase would work well. But yes, to leave it there. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** We had a motion. Do we have a second? **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Yes. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any further questions? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion to read. Succeed the detective job description. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** We don't need to do really anything tonight. I just wanted to give this to you. The police committee met and discussed this. We found it. What community did I say that we got this from? I can't remember. We stole it from some other city. You remember? Anyways. It's on my tongue. It fit very, very well with what we were looking to do. The other community, Alexandria, tied this additional sheet to a police officer's job description as additional duties. One of the things that we... of liked about this was the second bullet point which is that this position would help in assigning cases according to the degree of seriousness one of the things that we had talked about was basically not having a detective that just did all investigations you know taking on a bunch of extra overtime they would just be working with the officers being a resource and then if necessary taking on some of the larger cases that that come through the police department **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** very good this is informational only at this time all right any questions from the council Okay, then we're introducing it now and then a plan I take it is in either next month or December to? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Whenever I can get an MOU signed with the Teamsters, then we can post this. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** All right. And the job will be posted at that time? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Internally first, yep. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Okay, very good. Under 6F, hire additional part-time officers. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I think we need and the chief would probably agree and you do the scheduling you think you would agree we need additional Part-time officers to be on our list We're having a tough time scheduling with With some contractual regulations that we have we just need more people to to pick from I think It would be good to just get approval to hire additional officers. And then the second thing that I would ask is how would we like to go about that? **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Okay, in hiring this, the additional part-time, the only expense is the equipment that they'll need, correct? If we don't currently have this, we have to get them out. Okay. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** And then we have to go on. Do we have a cost on them? I mean, that's if they're not trained, correct? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Right, correct. If they're already, you know, somebody that works within Carpeton and already knows area, then I'm... Then I'm... ...and how they use the systems, that system... I would say a couple thousand dollars for a uniform and things like that. But the main objective is to keep down the overtime with these part-time people, isn't it? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Correct. So you'd actually save money... uh... in the long run and you will bring out your people as bad **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** yeah i think bryce is going to work this weekend just so that we're not using the same part-time person which pushes them over a certain number of hours and uh... i think we've done a really good job of of staying under that uh... that number this year uh... but it's been it's been a struggle **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Well, they only can work 14 hours of pay period, right? **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** A week. Yeah. Yeah. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Yeah. It's tough because, you know, we can't get part-timers to fill if you know if somebody would even have a medical family leave or something like that. **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** We don't have... A lot of our part-time officers are deputies or state patrol officers who work for other agencies. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** How many officers are we looking at part time? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I think it would depend on the first person and how often they'd be able to work. I mean, if they can if they can work consistently like some of the other guys that we have, then we might be able to get by with one. If they're like some of the deputies and stuff like that where it's just kind of a struggle to schedule with them, it might be two. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** 100%, but I believe Bryce Borman will be just looking at our open order. Two. Council, questions? **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Could we, possibly just put it out there for advertisement and see what type of group how many we get and then decide if it's a interview i mean if you only get two applicants you know yeah in the background or if you get the only hundred **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** yep the only thing that i'm i'm hoping to avoid is is turning this into like the the full-blown interview that we did for like the full-time officers I mean then then you're talking about exams over weekends and things like that so yes we can we can certainly do that and see where it takes us throughout maybe the next month and bring it forward to the next council meeting **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** well I would think that and I think you know the personnel committee with Bryce probably could you know review them and That would be our at the council. I mean **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Sounds fine to me. We have consensus worthwhile to keep on Right into this. Yes, so we have consensus for 6f, okay? And we've already completed 6g moving on to 6h Hinkley visitor guide **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Something that we do every year is They They kind of have some stuff in ours and we're advertising a little bit further out of the community to get people to come to Moose Lake. Yeah. So it's an approval of $1,200. Correct. For the Hinkley Visitor's Guide. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Yeah, I got a question here. It says... that they're hoping the city will cover the full pay. So is this for the chamber? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Nope. So we have an ad in there that's for the city of Moose Lake that, and I should have brought the ad. Basically there's a couple businesses that are rotated each year that go onto our ad as well. But no, this is an ad for the city basically. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** Okay. this would come out of our gambling fund **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** well that was my question if it were paying for this for the chamber then it should come out again but if it's no it's not for the city of loose lake yep so no it doesn't come out of the gambling fund and and no it's not just for the chamber so it's an item that we've budgeted for the last five six years **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** I don't know how long yeah motion to put the ad in the hinkley visitors guide $1200 at **[Timestamp] Council Member:** second **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Any further questions discussion? All in favor say aye. **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Aye. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Opposed? Motion carry. 6 I Delta dental letter. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** This is the first time I've gotten a letter like this so I thought it was worth putting in the packet our insurance at least for dental stayed the same. That's all I just wanted everyone to be aware of it. Informational. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Yeah good information. good that's great any questions council **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** no I wish I could complain but we can't **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** thank you Tim moving on to 6j Carlton common economic futures workshop **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I will be attending this workshop I talked with the economic development authority about it as well just wondering if there's anything from the city council's perspective that you would like for me to bring up or bring to them. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** It doesn't have a date when is this? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Next Wednesday. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** You'd ask them what business contacts they are driving towards the city of Moose Lake. Please. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Okay. I like this concept of working together. know because it's a bigger bigger scope I think we can do do well by working together with and partnering **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** be interested to see how in-depth they get when they talk about industries for the area what the ones are looking at I guess **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** I guess one of the things that I'm interested in seeing is they have a U of M economist and economics educator presenting is that that might be three hours and 15 minutes is is spent on that I don't know how much of this I don't actually know what this is about never never been to it so I'll be interested just to see what this is is about and I can **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** if they do this if they're doing a study or they're setting up for a study on what businesses would fit within your community against what you already have know a comparison so you know I think we did that study a number of years back the council approved it probably going back ten years and we haven't done one since then I would hope they would in the future planning that's where they're going I guess it's in like an economic and business saturation of an area that kind of thing too **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** sure I can **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** I guess, yeah, that would be a well worth study, especially when we're looking at hopefully advertising. I know that the committee, EDA committee has been working on that very thing for our land we're looking at developing. Is that with the school as that goes forward? **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Thank you. And then, Mayor. If they had projections of our, you know, the area's growth, let's say, that would be really important to us for our sewer, water, how much, you know, what we need. Or maybe it's negative. Maybe there is no projections for growth in the future. Maybe it's everybody's looking at smaller. I don't know where we're at with that. We have a tiny home park. So it'd be kind of nice to know when we make these decisions decisions or whoever does that uh we've got some you know good data that we can base it on **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** sure **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** any other comments from the council moving on to 6k moose lake pullover i think there's some pictures in here there is um so there's some older shirts you have the one of the older t-shirts on i think you have one of the of the polo ones too **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** i do **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** um i'd like to get some some newer ones that i'd like to maybe include the council on yeah so when we go into the league of cities meetings and stuff we'd wear these so this well to any meeting i mean i've seen ted wear this is just a touchy subject now but i've seen ted wear his to um when we've had meetings with state representatives or had the grand opening for 73 and stuff like that. So just for stuff like that. So anyways, Katie picked these out. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** So this will be a guarantee I'd look as good as these guys then if I put this on? **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** Uh-huh. I don't think there's any help there. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** I think the total zip up would be much nicer. The full zip one? **[Timestamp] Council Member Kris Huso:** That layer gray one. I agree. Well, we are, but I think I'm talking about for every shape. Yeah, I think I agree with you. **[Timestamp] Council Member:** Does the moose, the thing go on the side of the shirt? **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Yep, so the moose in Moose Lake, and it will not be gold. I think I've asked her three times now just to make sure that it will, in fact, not be gold. I don't know what color. We haven't really chose the color, but these, mine's black and white, but these are just going to be gray. **[Timestamp] Council Member Douglas Juntunen:** Mm-hmm. No short sleeve ones? I'm just kidding. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** This would allow you to zip it totally open. That's true. Breathability function in there. **[Timestamp] Council Member Walter Lower III:** And it's the cheaper one too, so. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Very nice. Good for us. Go with the low bed. We'll go with the low bed. Does that sound okay? **[Timestamp] Council Members:** Sounds very good. **[Timestamp] Ellissa Owens (City Administrator):** Okay, so Katie will send out something on maybe some order sizes and all that stuff. **[Timestamp] Mayor Jim Michalski:** Okay.
