Let's stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Roll call, please. [0:15] **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Here. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Here. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Here. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Here. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Here. Uh, announcements. Do any councilors have announcements this evening? Uh, I've got one. The Pillars, right across the road here, is having their grand opening on Wednesday, June 12th, from 3:30 to 6:00 PM. Uh, public hearing. We have a public hearing this evening on approving tax abatement for certain property located in the city of Hermantown. Mr. Mulder? [0:53] **John Mulder (City Administrator):** So we are proposing that we would abate the taxes on several properties in order to finance the um, debt for a portion of the um, Fichtner Park. We do this for really two reasons. One is it gives us the legal authority to issue the debt um, if we can do that through abatement bonds. But then we will then cancel that abatement and pay off those um, the bonds using um, other uh, sources. So we won't—we'll cancel the abatement, but this gives us the legal authority to do it, shows the bank that we have the legal authority to do it, and then um, we cancel those and we'll use other funding sources um, to fund that gap. [1:34] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Um, during this public hearing, there's public discussion on this item only. Does anyone wish to address the council at this time? Does anyone wish to address the council about the resolution approving property tax abatement for certain property? Is there any public input on this resolution or this proposal? Hearing none, next on our agenda we have 2024-25, tax abatement for certain property located in the city of Hermantown. Do we have a motion relating to this? [2:25] **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Motion to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Hjelle to approve. Is there a second? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Peterson by a hair. Um, any comments from Council? Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Next, we have communications listed but none outlined in the—in our minutes. Mr. Mulder? [3:07] **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Uh, we did not have the digital permitting implementation presentation, but we had a short one on Maple Grove stormwater. Could you give us a short explanation? Sure. The Maple Grove stormwater uh, presentation had to do with um, a concern by a resident on Maple Grove Road um, west of Midway regarding um, runoff, particularly as it related to the Jenny Farms subdivision. Um, we reviewed kind of a little bit of history on that, and then the idea there is that the uh, runoff from that subdivision mostly wants to go—um, will flow along the new road into a culvert and then either to um, two—one of two retainage ponds. So the drainage from that subdivision should not be flowing west to the uh, person that was concerned about that on um, Maple Grove Road. [4:05] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Uh, next we have public discussion. This is a time for individuals to address the council about any item not on the agenda. We ask that you limit your time to three minutes per person. If you are here for a specific agenda item, there will be public discussion available during the presentation of that item. Is there any general public discussion this evening? Any public discussion for the city council this evening? Is there any public discussion for any item not on the agenda? We'll close the public discussion and move to the consent agenda. That is uh, minutes approval or correction of the May 20th, 2024 City Council continuation minutes and accounts payable approved General City warrants from May 16th, 2024 through May 31st, 2024 in the amount of $625,500. [5:22] **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Motion to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Hjelle. Is there a second? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor LeBlanc. Any comments? Roll call. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Ordinances. We have a second reading of ordinance 2024-07, an ordinance amending Hermantown code of ordinances by amending section 50.5, particular speed limits designated. Is there a motion relating to this ordinance? [6:05] **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Motion to deny. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor LeBlanc to deny. Is there a second? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Peterson. Mr. Mulder? [6:13] **John Mulder (City Administrator):** The staff had proposed that the speed limit um, on Hermantown Road from um, Midway to Highway 2 be increased from 30 to 40 miles per hour. Um, we did that in part because there was—um, just to be consistent on Hermantown Road to be at 40 miles an hour. Um, for some reason that stretch is only 30. Um, so we had recommended that that be um, 40 miles an hour. [6:30] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Is there any comments by Council? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** I just comment that hearing what some of the residents uh, had said about uh, the concern for changing the speed, I kind of—my decision to want to keep it at 30 miles per hour. **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Same. The support from the people who live on that stretch wanting it to stay 30... I don't see a reason why we would need to change it. **Councilor John Geissler:** Anything over here, gentlemen? I don't want it to sound like an echo in here. Thank you. I uh, I don't think there's any harm in leaving it as is. If there ever is a need in the future, it could be revisited and public input would be sought and desired at that time. Um, I think that leaving it at 30 would make it less attractive as a pass-through to—from Highway 2, which would be one benefit for the neighborhood. Um, anything else from Council? Is there any public input on this ordinance at this time? If so, please step forward and state your name and address for the record. [7:52] **David Thornton (Public Speaker):** Name is David Thornton, 5861 Hermantown Road. I appreciate uh, the Council considering the—the many emails you probably got about this issue. Uh, the reason why it was 30 miles an hour is, I think 35 or 40 years ago, Warren Berg was one of the early council members was instrumental in establishing that speed limit due to the uh, population being younger. I think there was a special needs individual that lived near the Midway Road. I live on a downside of the hill that approaches—as the road approaches Highway 2. Had four boys raised in that area um, young kids. Uh, we were concerned about the time, very grateful that it was 30 miles an hour. Currently, there are three—or there are two families with uh, young kids right near the intersection of Midway and Hermantown Road on that section, and they are appreciative of having this still stay 30. I went through last night and uh, I think out of 16 people that live on that section, 14 people I did talk to and give the information about contacting you folks. Every one of them said they didn't want to change it. So that's all I have to say. Thank you. [9:27] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Is there any other public input on this ordinance? Any public input on the motion to vote down ordinance 2024-07? If you're in favor of the motion to deny the ordinance, vote in the affirmative. If not, vote in the negative. Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Next is resolutions. Resolution 2024-73, resolution awarding contract for flooring repairs in the amount of $17,093 plus applicable taxes and fees. Do we have a motion? [10:10] **Councilor John Geissler:** Motion to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Geissler. Is there a second? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Peterson. Mr. Mulder? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** This is a Capital Improvement uh, project in our Police Department to repair um, the floor in the garage, the hallway, and the breakroom. This was part of our Capital Improvement plan for 2024. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Off the top of your head, do you remember what was in the budget? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Off the top of my head? No. I want—for some reason I was thinking it was 20-something, but I don't know that for sure. If you give me a minute, I can look it up if you really want to know. **Councilor Joe Peterson:** No, it’s fine. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Anything else from Council? Any public input on this resolution? Any public input on resolution 2024-73? Anyone online? Joe? Thank you. Last opportunity for public input on the resolution to award contract for flooring repairs. Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Resolution 2024-74, resolution approving final planned unit development for Stebner Road development. We have a motion? [11:45] **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Move to approve. **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Peterson, second by Councilor Hjelle. Mr. Mulder? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Mr. Johnson, this resolution... **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Great, thank you very much. Uh, this evening, as you've mentioned, is a final planned unit development application by JZ Builders. Uh, this is an existing 10-acre site that has access off of Stebner Road. Uh, the property is zoned R3 Residential. Planned unit developments are allowed in any zoning district throughout the city. Uh, planned unit developments allow for the setting of site-specific lot sizes as well as setbacks associated with that proposed development. What we're essentially looking at this evening is a conservation subdivision. They're clustering of these 10 uh, two-family home buildings; there'd be 20 units total. Uh, so the underlying uh, math associated with that is two units per acre. The R3 zoning uh, which this is part of identifies two units per acre, so there's no net change in density as far as this planned unit development. Just by clustering these units together, we're able to save 3.3 acres of wetland uh, within this property. Uh, the road will—excuse me—the development will be serviced by a 66-foot public right-of-way which will have a 28-foot curb and gutter roadway surface as well as a 5-foot wide sidewalk. Uh, the water and sewer is going to come from Stebner Road and there's one proposed stormwater basin on the property which will handle uh, the needs for this development. Uh, as part of the public amenity, there will be two pickleball courts going to be located more in the east end of this property. And then lastly, these buildings are very similar in size and style to the existing uh, two-family units that are constructed at Hayes Road and Morris Thomas Road that the developer had put in about five or so years ago. [13:38] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council? Is there any public input on this resolution? Any public input on resolution 2024-74? Is there any public input on the resolution approving the final planned unit development for Stebner Road development? Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Resolution 2024-75, resolution approving a special use permit for grading and filling within a recreational environment Shoreland overlay area. You have a motion? [14:33] **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Move to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor LeBlanc. Is there a second? **Councilor John Geissler:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Geissler. Mr. Mulder, do we have Eric handle this one also? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Sure. **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Great, thank you again. Uh, this special use permit is associated with the Hermantown Arena Expansion Project. Uh, this lot uh, is about half—or the eastern portion of the property is located within this recreational district. Uh, there is a um, small basically channelized stream on the east side of Ugstad Road. So once again, the portion of this property is within the Shoreland. Uh, the new work is primarily outside of the Shoreland, but there is potential of having some small grading areas and maybe stockpiling materials within the Shoreland area. So uh, the city is going to issue the special use permit just like we would any other project, whether it's private or public, throughout the city. [15:32] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Does this cover—haha—if they want to add an extra outdoor rink? **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Uh, they actually went through this out last year, the special use permit for the construction at that time. They were hoping to get some um, basically road material from the Ugstad Road, so that's why it went through at that time. So that one is still active, so they'll be fine that way as well. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Any other questions or comments from Council? Is there any public input on this resolution? Any public input on resolution 2024-75? Hearing none, roll call. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Next is resolution 2024-76, resolution approving a special use permit for construction of a two-family home within a recreational Shoreland area. We have a motion? [16:47] **Councilor John Geissler:** Motion to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Geissler. Is there a second? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Peterson. Mr. Mulder, do we want Mr. Johnson to do one more time? Eric? **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Thank you again. So this is a special use permit. Uh, there's an existing basically two-plus acre lot at the end of Misty Morning Drive. Uh, the applicant uh, who's—will be the owner of the two-family structure is looking to administratively subdivide this property for this new um, structure. Uh, the proposed lot will be 1.14 acres in size uh, which meets the minimum one-acre requirement for two-family structures. As I mentioned, it will be split to accommodate that building. Uh, it will—all the setbacks associated with this uh, will meet the underlying R3 requirements that allow for two-family structures with a special use permit. [17:45] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council? I think I said my piece already so... Um, I had one question. Um, with two acres and two homes, does that fit with density requirements of R3? **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Yes, it does. So um, with the two-plus acres, you could have four homes associated with that just with each one being a minimum of a half-acre in size. So at the end of the day, we're looking at three structures associated with it, so we actually are under the proposed—the density allowed for that zoning district. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Just one clarification for me moving forward is the special use to build a twin home in an R3 area? So you need to have a special use permit to build this type of structure in that zoning? **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** That is correct. **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Okay. Anything else from Council? **Councilor John Geissler:** And just for clarification, there was a public hearing at the Planning and Zoning on that matter? **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director):** Yes, there was. There were no members of the public who spoke to it. **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Okay, thank you. If we're okay with this type of home being built over there, why wouldn't we just rezone it to a different zoning? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** I think we made the zoning regulations be planned unit developments so that it would open up public input for each individual one. Uh, there was a question at one time about twin homes, group homes being located next to each other and uh, we didn't want to come up with a—say, a half-a-mile stretch of road where everyone was a twin home. So we made it a planned use uh, subject to a permit versus part of the zoning ordinance. That's the history of my time on the council, I guess. **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** I struggle with that rationale because the next person comes in and applies for the same permit, we say no because there's already one next to it? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Not necessarily. Uh, that allows the public input to bring that up. Okay. We didn't flat ban them, yeah. We just allowed for the public to have input each time it happens. Anything else from Council? Anyone from the public wish to comment on this resolution? Is there any public comment on resolution 2024-76, approving a special use permit? Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Nay. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Next is resolution 2024-77, resolution approving pay request number one for Road Improvement District number 541 to Northland Constructors in the amount of $230,183. Do we have a motion? [20:34] **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Move to approve. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Hjelle. Is there a second? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Second by Councilor Peterson. Mr. Mulder? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** So this is the first pay request from Northland Constructors on our 2024 Road projects. This is specifically for District 541 and also for the bridge on Hermantown Road. Um, and we're withholding uh, 5% on both of those projects. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Is that going to get opened back up to traffic, one-lane traffic, when they actually start building the road, or is that going to remain closed until they're done? I guess I just—what's the status? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** It's closed. It's closed for through traffic, but it's open for local. Yeah, because you got to go different directions off the bridge, right? And the bridge is going to be gone. Yeah, so there's not going to be a one-lane bridge at any point in time. **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Yeah, okay. Maybe I misunderstood the order of operations there. **Councilor Joe Peterson:** But is there a different date for the bridge being replaced and usable and the end of the construction on the whole road? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Don't know that answer. Something we can ask our engineer. I would doubt it, but I don't know that answer. The bridge takes longer and it started first, and we're trying to get that done as soon as possible. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any other questions or comments from Council? Is there any public input on this resolution? Is there any public input on resolution 2024-77? Mayor, one other comment I want to make is um, on the agenda it says 230,183, but the title of the resolution says 259,634. **John Mulder (City Administrator):** It should be—it's 259. Um, 230 is what's being—on the road there. Additional 29,000 that's on the bridge. So $259,634.34. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Well, we'll ask Councilor Hjelle if he's willing to amend his motion... **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Yes, to cover that amount. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** ...and Councilor Peterson if you're willing to amend your second. **Councilor Joe Peterson:** I am. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** And uh, we won't go through the comment period again, but we will ask for public comment on this resolution for a second time. And for the last time, public comment on resolution 2024-77. Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. Next is resolution 2024-78, resolution authorizing Kraus-Anderson and Ojard to proceed with construction of ice arena. Do we have a motion? [23:45] **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Move to approve. **Councilor John Geissler:** Second. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Motion by Councilor Peterson and second by Councilor Geissler to approve. Is there any questions or comments from Council? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** I'll just say it's a big monumental step here what we're doing. It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of uh, effort gone into this. So thanks everybody for the work thus far and looking forward to seeing it come—come to a reality here in a year and a half. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Mr. Mulder, is there anything we need from you to add to this? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** No, I just would point out is that um, the purpose of doing this is because um, we have bids from bid package one, and before we award those, we need to give KA authorization to proceed um, given particularly given the fact that we do not have the guaranteed maximum price yet, and we won't have that until we have the second bid package come through. Um, but we don't want to wait for that because we want to keep this project on schedule. We want to um, award these contracts so that we can order the material and get started on um, some of the—the work that um, can be done at this point. **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. Any other comment from Council? Is there any public comment on this resolution? Any public comment on resolution 2024-78? Any public comment on the resolution authorizing Kraus-Anderson to proceed with the construction of an ice arena? Roll call, please. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor LeBlanc? **Councilor Brian LeBlanc:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Peterson? **Councilor Joe Peterson:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Geissler? **Councilor John Geissler:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Councilor Hjelle? **Councilor Andy Hjelle:** Aye. **City Clerk (Alissa McClure):** Mayor Boucher? **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Aye. And start off by saying the next 11 resolutions are going to be very similar. Mr. Mulder, are you okay with giving an explanation at the first one and us just rolling through the rest as we are able? **John Mulder (City Administrator):** Yeah. So um, what we have in the next 11 resolutions are 11 different um, awards of contracts for different scopes of material um, scopes of construction. Um, so some of it is—um, in some cases it's labor and material, in a couple places it's just material. Um, but each one of those represents an individual scope as part of that building project. For example, selective demolition is one; concrete; um, structural pre-cast; architectural pre-cast. So each one of those different um, scopes of work will be awarded to a different contractor um, and we want to proceed with those. [26:24] **Mayor Wayne Boucher:** Thank you. We will start with resolution 2024-79, resolution receiving bids and approving award of contracts for the Northstar Arena and assigning contracts to the construction manager: Selective Demolition Scope 2A.
