Based on the context provided for the City of Hermantown, here is the transcribed townhall meeting with speaker names added. [0:00] **Background Noise**: foreign [0:36] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: here uh announcements do any counselors have announcements they'd like to say for the public good? [0:43] **Andy Hjelle (City Councilor)**: I'd just like to encourage everyone to attend as much of Summerfest as they can now that it's back after a few year hiatus. Thanks to all the volunteers that are putting it together. [0:55] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: We have no communications on record. Mr. Mulder, could you give us a short uh synopsis of the presentations we had at pre-agenda? [1:05] **John Mulder (City Administrator)**: Sure. Chris gave an update on just our progress on working on the transition for the fire department to a public safety department. Um, hopefully, we're going to have all that work done by January 1st and there will be no interruption in service. And another, I'm trying to—Joaking from the Aluminum Legacy Fund—give us an update on just what they're doing in terms of fundraising efforts for the homicide agreement. [1:40] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Thank you. Uh, now we are under public discussion, item eight. This is a time that anyone can address the Council about any item not on the agenda. We ask that you limit your time to three minutes per person. If anyone wishes to speak to the Council, either speak up online with your name and address or approach the podium and state your name and address. [1:59] **Corey Larson (Resident)**: Good evening, my name is Corey Larson. I live at 53-43 Split Rail Drive. I'm here to comment on the progress of transitioning the fire department into a public safety department, and I err on the side of caution in regards to this specific model in the state of Minnesota. Public safety departments—as far as utilizing a police chief for both police chief and public safety director that oversees a fire department—is very few and far between. This is an old model that has not been utilized very often, especially when we're looking at our specific geographical location. It is my recommendation, especially with the critical infrastructure and the population density that's occurring in the city of Hermantown, to navigate the waters as far as employing a full-time fire chief that works under the city administrator. That fire chief and that police chief can work together; they work synergistically and really create public safety for the city of Hermantown. Now, reviewing everything that's been put together... and Chief, praise for everything that he's done, but I do believe there is specific operational components that are missing because there is a lack of fire department knowledge, specifically in regards to NFPA 1720 and NFPA 1500. Now, I know there's a lot of emphasis in regards to Emergency Medical Services, but it's very critical that we remember that there's a fire department component. And with new infrastructure and new buildings that are going up, the time from flashover is in between five to seven minutes. We want to ensure that that fire department moving forward is going to be able to get out that door meeting that NFPA 1720 and that 1500 to protect us, and then also increase that ISO capability for our citizens. But everything that's been put together um, I think is great; it's just I think that leadership aspect as far as actually having a full-time chief for the city of Hermantown is paramount for the future. Thank you. [3:46] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Thank you. Is there anyone else that wishes to speak to the council? If so, please start with your name and address. [4:05] **Steve Johnson (Deputy Fire Chief)**: Steve Johnson, 3659 Getchell Road. I just wanted to—I was in the pre-agenda meeting—just wanted to answer some questions that might have been uh missed or that just some things for you guys to know. So as a current volunteer here at Hermantown Volunteer Fire Department, I just want the City Council to know that yes, all our members are 100% committed, and all the ones that are planning on onboarding with a new program, whichever way it proceeds forward, plan on doing that. We plan on doing everything: fixing trucks, still trying to get new people, open house on Saturday—please attend—stuff like that. We're still doing what we need to do to get the job done for the community and for us. We also like to thank uh the Chief for all the things that he's doing for us and all the volunteers and all the commitment and all the other departments to make sure that we are on the right foot. Just so you guys know that we are still 100% committed all the way through, and the people that are on board are going to go all the way through to the next step. [5:05] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Thank you, Steve. Just one question, a little off-topic for you and the Chief: are you guys still battling for blood donations on Saturday? [5:18] **Steve Johnson (Deputy Fire Chief)**: Uh, actually no. This year we're working together. [5:21] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Okay. [5:22] **Steve Johnson (Deputy Fire Chief)**: Do you remember what the term is? "Better Together." [5:25] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: "Better Together," okay. Great cause, thank you. Thank you. A little foreshadowing there. Anyone else wish to speak to the Council, either online or in chambers? Please start with your name and address. Is there any other public input or discussion at this time? Hearing none, we will move on to the consent agenda, which is the approval or correction of the July 5th Council minutes and accounts payable from July 1st through the 15th in the amount of one million three hundred four thousand thirty-six dollars and 24 cents.

[7:14] **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director)**: Great, thank you very much, Mr. Mayor, members of the Council. Uh, before us this evening is the grant request to the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission, otherwise known as GMRPTC. Uh, it's for two segments of our overall trail system. It's going to be from the intersection of Levig Junction/Uggstad Road over to the intersection of Stebner Road and Maple Grove. It's approximately 2.83 miles in length, and once that is completed, that will connect essentially Highway 53 all the way down to the Engwalls facility. Right now, today, as part of this grant application, uh, we're looking to make a request somewhere in the neighborhood of $700,000 to $1 million. We're anticipating that um, the work associated with this trail is going to be in the neighborhood of around $3 million for that. Myself and the City Engineer are working on the final cost estimates associated with this grant. Uh, this grant would be for funding year 2025, and we anticipate these projects would be in the '25-'26 year. As part of that grant requirement, the work is completed to be done by July 31st of '27. [8:21] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Thank you. Do we have any questions or comments from Council? With none, is there any public input on this resolution? Any public input on Resolution 2023-98? Is there public input on the resolution authorizing the city to sponsor a grant funding request for the Proctor-Hermantown Munger Trail spur route plan? Roll call, please.

[9:11] **Alissa McClure (City Clerk)**: Resolution 2023-99: Resolution authorizing and directing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and deliver a development agreement with JLG Enterprises of Hermantown LLP for Peyton Acres Phase 2A. [9:27] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Do we have a motion? [9:29] **Brian LeBlanc (City Councilor)**: Motion to approve. [9:31] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Motion by Councilor LeBlanc. Is there a second? [9:34] **Andy Hjelle (City Councilor)**: Second. [9:36] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Second by Councilor Hjelle. Mr. Mulder, should Mr. Johnson handle this one also? [9:38] **John Mulder (City Administrator)**: Eric? [9:39] **Eric Johnson (Community Development Director)**: Great, thank you again. At our previous City Council meeting in early July, the Council approved the plat associated with this Phase 2A. There was a 13-lot, two-outlet phase of this development. This is the fourth phase of the Peyton Acres project. This development agreement will cover uh infrastructure improvements, i.e., sidewalks, water and sanitary sewer mains, roadway, as well as stormwater improvements for this. As part of the development agreement, the developer will be required to have a letter of credit in place for the stormwater work, and it gives the developer the option to provide a letter of credit for those other infrastructure items or to be able to perform that work. In either case, one of those has to be completed or done for the city in order to sign off on the plat and the um the owner to actually sell lots at that point. This phase is anticipated to run through the remainder of '23 and into '24, and the development agreement does identify an October 15, '24 date for the completion of these infrastructure improvements.

So this is change order number eight on Uggstad Road, our federal-aid project. And the nature of the changes here are—once we got into the milling operation, we found that the underlying bituminous is not as thick as we anticipated. We got into some Class 5 at the centerline of the road, and we directed the contractor to mill out some extra material and had to subsequently place some more bituminous in 그 place. So the total amount is that $74,550 for that work. [15:38] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor)**: Thank you. Any questions or comments from Council?

We had one connection to their system where we got all of our water. Now we have two. Um, and so we had done this as part of that um water modeling project we had done about a year ago. Um, so this is the final work that was done to connect City of Hermantown water to the Duluth water in a second spot. The majority of this work is done; we're simply waiting for some sidewalk and curb to be replaced, which is going to be done as part of the overall St. Louis County project on that road.

Is there any questions or comments from the Council? [20:47] **Andy Hjelle (City Councilor)**: I just had my usual comment: uh my son works for Northland Consulting Engineers, and the result of this contract has no financial benefit to my son or myself.
