comments from [13:32] **Jim Michalski:** the public on matters not listed on the agenda please keep comments to three minutes appears we have no one present at this time as we move down to departmental reports first report the police chief department report for december 2020 [13:49] **Darren Guttmann:** mayor members of the council you should have attached the police report for december and we had 140 calls for service 14 of those calls were serviced were to msop and three to department of corrections in addition to those calls for service we spent approximately 30 hours on msop calls and six hours at the department of corrections again you can see that still fairly high [14:19] **Darren Guttmann:** and as of today i have another probably 16 files to go through for ecrc for doc meeting on monday again which heats up most of the day so i was in talks with msop a little bit on some of the stuff again today and some of the procedures the way things have been going and the changes we wanted implemented still weren't happening so i had some talks with that again today and we're still moving on trying to come up with a better solution i did make contact with the saint peter chief of police to see how things were going there right now we've already eliminated that going to the medicals there unless it's going to be a risk high-risk situation of escape or something like that then we you know be notified and go there they're still going to let us know that somebody might be in transport but we're not going to be attending all [15:04] **Darren Guttmann:** those medical calls um you see on here is under the self-initiated we had 14 for extra patrol 26 traffic stops 11 community engagement calls that we were responding to we had 13 assists to other agencies and 65 calls for service along with 11 medicals the last three reports that i've given you can see a drastic change just on how much things drop off just for the amount of time that we're spending on either msop calls and some of these other things that that's why we're making that push now and make some changes because our extra patrol our traffic stops all those things start to suffer um when we're getting tied up almost for long periods of time so we'll keep moving with that um [15:49] **Darren Guttmann:** we also were short a couple people right now is officer mcnulty being out and then officer serrett out on maternity leave hopefully he'll be back in march but our full-time and part-time people have really stepped up and are helping us out a lot we've got a pretty good list of people that pretty much jump in and do what they can and our full-time people have been working some long days trying to cover and the county's been helping out covering ships that you know we can't cover but a big thank you to those people for making this work um just on an equipment thing we have a couple of our rifles that have are pretty old and though they don't even make any more and we had their last [16:34] **Darren Guttmann:** qualification where one started showing some issues and pretty much kind of needs to be replaced through dead on arms who's chad walsh that works for us part time as the owner of that company we were able to get a really good deal on the rifles for a 1200 rifle they brought the price down to 734 dollars gave us 350 a piece for our trade-ins did the free engraving with all our loose legs passion everything on it the slings and everything we only had to pay 384 dollars a rifle it's a no-brainer um not to move forward with that so we did and now we're set again for a while with some of that equipment our keyboards and the squads we're starting to have a few issues with those i knew the warranty was almost like we sent those in had them completely rebuilt and we just got those back it took them about six months to do but [17:20] **Darren Guttmann:** they're back and things are you know going well there um as far as one of the things i wanted to do and when i started here start tracking where equipment is and where it's going so now with everything that's been coming in i had somebody from the county help out on setting up all of our stuff in zurker system and so we have our own under the music police department whether it's fleet maintenance stuff that's going in there or equipment issued to any of the officers you know um what make it is everything their sizes everything's in our system now so when we have especially part-timers coming and going and trying to keep track of that stuff i think over the years we've lost probably a lot of equipment because nobody seems to know where they're at but now they'll be tracked in there and you know besides the normal wear issues um equipment will get all the other stuff back so [18:06] **Darren Guttmann:** other than that i don't really have anything else in this have any questions [18:14] **Jim Michalski:** fantastic thanks jerry all right thank [18:21] **Jim Michalski:** 4b public works superintendent report [18:24] **Phil Entner:** mr members of the council i have to say this is awesome to see everybody here and not looking at you on a computer screen this is this is great this is good stuff i'm liking it so um water department will start there distributed 3.7 million gallons drinking water in a month in december um that well house project is still coming along there's a lot of interior work just starting just getting going everything still looks to be on schedule so that is good um the biggest thing i got to touch on under the water department is the frozen water and silver lining policy it is winter it is cold out we need to keep an eye on your water temps in your house so your services do not freeze that is a pain for [19:07] **Phil Entner:** the the water customer the tax figure and then the workers department as well and the city um there is uh i believe our water and super policy is on city facebook page or the website one of the other [19:24] **Ellissa Owens:** i might have to put it back on our website i know it was but it might have expired [19:27] **Phil Entner:** okay so we yeah everything you need to know is in that policy if you don't understand it if you can get to it if you need help with anything please call i would much rather spend my time helping residences get that figured out so they're protected and everything is good and it cuts down on overtime and everything it's just great so it's all good stuff here so um yeah [19:48] **Jim Michalski:** have we had a lot of frozen ones [19:49] **Phil Entner:** we did have one last saturday actually yep um and that was kind of uh that was [19:53] **Phil Entner:** kind of a different situation it's a shallow service um on an exterior wall of the building it actually froze above great they were able to get it thought out inside the building water came back on everybody was good so um so it wasn't in one of our problem areas correct yep correct and it's essentially completely different than the normal areas that we typically look at so we did do so we did start some monitoring just to kind of keep an eye on what's going on and did some community outreach with uh with customers to see where they're at for water temperatures see how close they're getting where we're going to be at here in a couple weeks that kind of thing so it's it's just the same old same old stuff we do every january start getting ready for it so uh i fight right i thought somebody had a question sorry [20:39] **Phil Entner:** um all the fire items have been uh the snow has been removed around them had a little down down time here this last week so we got that all taken care of sewer department collected 10.5 million gallons of wastewater in a month of december we did have a december discharge at the sewer months 17 million gallons was that one all our parameters were meant for the year the bc is happy they like us a lot so we're we're doing well the stations were checked and cleaned in december that went well and then the street department just snow and ice removal as usual frost steps here are down around 30 to 36 inches so i mean it's getting there it's usually deeper than that by now but we're getting there um and i think that's all i got for now [21:26] **Jim Michalski:** one question uh look these frozen water lines do you have a list now the worst two that we're going to be tackling this spring or the summer because we have the money set aside now to tackle a couple of these frozen marlins [21:40] **Phil Entner:** yep so i got a list of about 120 yes and there's yeah we could very easily get the first quality three four five absolutely yep rather problem we could look back at current lists as well that show they start running sooner than everybody else it sticks all the way sort of absolutely [21:58] **Kris Huso:** the number of places are 120. [22:00] **Phil Entner:** uh the worst we've ever had was 120 yep and i just kind of kept that list as kind of like a template to start with so we just start going from the top and as soon as we start getting calls or have to go and respond and they just get moved up and we just track it year by year [22:12] **Douglas Juntunen:** i think i have i got records back to 2015. so i i had thought that it was around 60 from so my memory of past meetings [22:23] **Phil Entner:** sure in in 2012 and 2013 that winter that was the worst one we ever have no no mind you some of those didn't freeze but they were running to prevent from freezing and they're on the list because of that okay yeah so i mean there the list sounds a lot worse than it really is but it's all at the end of the day it's also great and it's all it's all areas that we have to keep you know watch of course [22:49] **Jim Michalski:** all right thank you for that [22:51] **Phil Entner:** yeah no problem [22:52] **Jim Michalski:** how has um mr stevens i haven't heard anything on on that um [23:00] **Phil Entner:** in fact i haven't heard anything good or bad [23:04] **Jim Michalski:** yeah neither [23:05] **Phil Entner:** so i know we have some restoration work to do in the spring from the excavation and then the blacktop patch there as well but other than that that's i haven't heard anything good anything about it thank you bill thanks to your staff too [23:22] **Jim Michalski:** back to 4c technology and library report [23:26] **Ellissa Owens:** i have the library board minutes from november included i actually think they're from december but they say november the the other items library related our agenda items later on we should mention the new layer temporary [23:57] **Ellissa Owens:** uh we're just working on getting a new system uh all the bugs out and it's working great content-wise uh we're playing bingo uh every day other than sunday and that's been pretty popular up at the uh augustana if it doesn't happen i guess the people let them know so you're seeing that [24:26] **Jim Michalski:** that's right okay let's get darren involved here yes thank you very much for c city engineer [24:37] **Matt Wolfe:** uh you guys have the minutes from the last meeting here uh just a couple things i want to touch on the highway 73 trail project the phase one is what we're calling it [24:44] **Matt Wolfe:** will be hopefully as an agenda item for february to go for bid for this spring um that's still being worked on the other big thing that we talked about was the phase two grant application that was a fairly large application we got that submitted on friday so that was um a bit more time intensive than i thought it was going to be but um got it done so those were a couple of the bigger items that we we touched on anything else that you can think of that everything else is just you know well project is continuing on [25:27] **Jim Michalski:** and adventure about the the uh or any data on the grant going [25:31] **Ellissa Owens:** in for the extension going up from 10 to the the east trail oh the phase two that's the transportation alternatives grant um i don't really have an update on it like i said we just submitted it on on friday so i would hope that we would find out i don't know just for everyone's knowledge that katie's working on another grant yeah and the funding wouldn't be available until 2025 so we would have plenty of time to find groups find other funding and figure out how we're going to pay for the rest of it so possibilities yeah thank you any questions [26:14] **Jim Michalski:** we'll move on chamber of commerce updates of course [26:17] **Jim Michalski:** the meeting was rescheduled it was supposed to be at noon today and it's rescheduled i moved to the 20th next week is is it open to uh members yet or is it still being conducted on zoom i said it was on soon it's still gonna i think they're still gonna have it on zoom but anyone can attend anywhere just email allison or call her and ask to get the link whenever they have that ready moving on to number five the previously discussed business 5a the arena lease agreement with the school district [26:55] **Ellissa Owens:** um nothing changed in this aside from the dollar amount the increase there's 5 000 just like we increased the um hockey associations five thousand dollars i don't have anything else for this [27:14] **Jim Michalski:** we do we need we need to approve this agreement we need a motion and this has been approved by the school district [27:23] **Douglas Juntunen:** so we have a motion on the arena lease agreement with the school district [27:29] **Lou Ohly:** you have a second [27:31] **Kris Huso:** second that's it [27:32] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye aye aye aye [27:36] **Jim Michalski:** opposed motion carried i'd like to thank also katie on the work on that lease agreement getting them to increase the the mulch on the lease five thousand dollars that's a single's largest [27:49] **Jim Michalski:** increase that we've had for a good 10 years or longer since i know since the flood for sure and i don't know even before that if we had that much single increase i didn't look back that far but yeah thank you on 5b campground soft software [28:16] **Ellissa Owens:** this is what i'm excited about uh so i looked at two different companies you guys have their brochures in your packet the first company is camp spot the second is astra essentially they offer the same services what i was most concerned with was the the back end of it for our staff on [28:35] **Ellissa Owens:** booking reservations and whatnot on user friendly even if it was just graphics to me the camp spot one was a bit more user friendly i did demos for both of them the big difference between the two is camp spot charges two dollars per reservation whereas the other one they have a different fee structure i think one of the options is paying like 900 and then a monthly maintenance fee of 150 the nice thing about all of the fees is that we can push them all on to the customer so we can we can build things in there that um we charge two dollars of a of a reservation fee or whatever we want to call it [29:20] **Ellissa Owens:** to the customer so if we go with camp spots we literally wouldn't be paying for anything so i would recommend we go with camp spot just from the demos that i did it like i said it was way more user friendly [29:36] **Kris Huso:** i don't know what is that total figure on it going with that software [29:43] **Ellissa Owens:** nothing that's for you yeah zero dollar the only thing that's the only fee is the two dollar charge [29:51] **Jim Michalski:** i want to make sure everyone understood that so so we'd have to set it up and [30:06] **Ellissa Owens:** design it the so the setup is free i literally i think they take like a bird's-eye view of the campground and they make it all digit i mean digitized i think there's some examples in here of what they have maybe not that might be on something else that i have but they take it and they digitize it and they literally create phil and i went it was a couple weeks ago and we measured all the campsites so then we put that information in there you have a 50-foot 40-foot whatever camper and we only have a 25 foot spot well then it says you can't fit there so they they build it out for us we just have to provide them obviously the information um so yeah that that's what i i would suggest going with camp spot the nice thing about [30:52] **Ellissa Owens:** either one of these is that if you don't like them you can switch the companies i think you have to give like a 30 day notice or something but let's open it up for questions discussion or emotion [31:07] **Kris Huso:** yes which one when you were discussing it with companies was the easiest your communication [31:13] **Ellissa Owens:** uh they both they were both pretty similar i think the i just want as simple as possible for the people that are going to be using this and i think that's camp spot we don't need a super advanced software with all the bells and whistles i just need to be able to make a reservation and i want the customers to be able to make a reservation without [31:38] **Ellissa Owens:** having to call us to eliminate that i guess the staff for that [31:43] **Douglas Juntunen:** there be an option for people to call [31:46] **Ellissa Owens:** yep yep to do it in person because i was just thinking some people might not have the knowledge of how they use their computers and stuff like that yeah i think from my conversations with both companies it seems that more and more campgrounds are going staffless so they don't have an option for you to call in you literally if you want to camp you have to figure out how to use an online booking system i don't know that we want to go that extreme but i do think that we could cut back on the number of hours or office hours [32:24] **Kris Huso:** well you know when the person that camps is nice because if you can't get a hold or something you want to make a thing on sunday you can just go online and make your reservation you're not waiting for somebody to answer the phone [32:38] **Ellissa Owens:** none of the places that i camp i call i don't call any of them it would be available 24 7 year-round even during the winter and the nice thing is if we don't have any reservations for the month of december we don't get charged anything whereas this astro one we get charged if we choose this model b we get charged 150 a month [33:02] **Jim Michalski:** so and then one that you like i looked at some of that too it allows us to add other maps and stuff in there for the atv trails and all that kind of stuff so [33:10] **Ellissa Owens:** we could upload those into it and you can upload um like your rules and everything like that and those automatically get emailed to them so there's no excuse that you didn't get them because you got them with your reservation that's a nice feature [33:28] **Kris Huso:** is it plans to get a card reader in the building for the other expenses there like peterbine would or [33:35] **Ellissa Owens:** yep i think that all either one of these companies has a point of sale system built right into it [33:41] **Phil Entner:** yep correct [33:42] **Ellissa Owens:** yep either one we go with we're gonna do fine with but i just think the camp spot one is is easier on the staff for for the customer and they both [33:55] **Ellissa Owens:** were very similar it's it's pretty simple to book a it's like booking a hotel so council [34:17] **Ellissa Owens:** any other questions discussion [34:32] **Jim Michalski:** when will you start this kdl [34:36] **Ellissa Owens:** i suppose i have to go immediately because we'll probably start getting calls on so i think um kind of my game plan with it is i want to see how long it takes them to build out the customer side of it but i'm fairly certain they said that we could and start entering in the current reservations that we have almost immediately so long as they have the site information which we've got all ready for them i just have to send it to them so i'd like to get started on this as soon as possible [35:14] **Jim Michalski:** very good thank you moving on to new business 6a the lakehead constructors pay application number two [35:18] **Ellissa Owens:** so this pay application is um ninety seven thousand seven hundred fifty five dollars through 12 30 so through the end of the year [35:39] **Jim Michalski:** any discussion or questions under a motion for pay application number two [35:48] **Douglas Juntunen:** have a second [35:50] **Lou Ohly:** second [35:51] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye [35:54] **Jim Michalski:** opposed no motion carried six speed cemetery fee schedule [36:06] **Ellissa Owens:** so just some back um story um the typical grave i'm gonna say it wrong with the grave diggers or mark faber and george holt they are no longer going to be digging graves they are not interested in in doing that service anymore so we've been in contact with mike kozlowski from the funeral home on [36:26] **Ellissa Owens:** if this is something that we could take over what it would look like how we would work together with them whether this was something we logically could even do after conversations that i had with mike phil had with mike we're gonna give it a shot if it's okay with you guys um i don't know if you want to touch on this at all [36:50] **Phil Entner:** at first we will both admit that we're a little apprehensive on taking this on um okay okay gotcha um i want to try it and i want to try it [37:12] **Phil Entner:** because i want to try to eliminate our expenditures of our maintenance at the camera at the cemeteries sorry i think if we can overcome some of that expense we spend a lot of money to make those look nice spend a lot of money and i want to give it a whirl if we can even cut that number in half that's half of what we're taking from the general fund to pay for this it's going to be different it's going to be something new but i think we'll will bring the same level of definitely the a huge level of respect to this for our community for our cemeteries the people in this community [37:58] **Phil Entner:** um but i think we'll bring the same good service and good maintenance we bring everyone else down and i think it's something that we can drive and we have an option if it doesn't work we can back out of it there's other options but i think we got to drive because we spend a lot of money there a lot [38:18] **Ellissa Owens:** on average i think we budget between twelve and fifteen thousand dollars um for wages and pera and fica and things like that in the cemetery um not to say that that number is going to be zero in the future i i just think that this is a way that we can shorten the gap lessen the gap of property tax dollars that are funding this if we can if we can successfully do this i think [38:43] **Ellissa Owens:** it's going to be a game changer for this department and everything that we've touched in that cemetery both the cemeteries um have just improved so i think that we could continue to do this as a service to our community so i guess thoughts on that before i move forward [39:07] **Walter Lower III:** yeah as far as the cemetery board was we thought that this would be going a lot towards making the cemetery a lot more viable for the city you know obviously the it's there's been a gap in funding for that fund having funding having to get it out of it does it come out of the general fund and this would go a long ways towards making the cemetery profitable in in a way [39:31] **Walter Lower III:** bringing in a lot more money and uh we were definitely you know wondering what phil would have to say about this we realized that this was a big thing for you to take on and the cemetery board is definitely very grateful to you for you know agreeing to uh try this and like you said if it doesn't work out you know we can always go to finding somebody else but the 17th cemetery board we'd like to thank you and katie and mike for for going through this and coming up with these figures for the grave uh openings and that stuff so i'd just like to say we do think it goes a long ways making it viable [40:15] **Jim Michalski:** i just got one question and [40:18] **Jim Michalski:** you know with a lot of funerals on this saturday and week and you're well aware of that which will take up probably more than a couple hours in the weekend [40:30] **Phil Entner:** yeah we we have a few things in place how we can work a good portion of this around to keep it within monday through friday hours and have very minimal done on saturday or sunday um and there's ways around that um it's for yeah there's ways around it and we've talked about the costs of that when we built this fee schedule for that to cover some of those you know what i'm saying i will say this i don't know if we don't try it we don't know and [41:04] **Phil Entner:** if we say no we might never get the chance to do this again so i think we got to try okay and i think it's a i think it would be a good thing for the city to do it for its community [41:20] **Jim Michalski:** right it's a little change in operation we need do you want any kind of motion or anything or do you want just uh [41:31] **Ellissa Owens:** i just want go census this this will be all added to the current fee schedule that we had but this just happened to be the only change on the fee schedules that i wanted to make so i'm just going to go over really quickly the grave price purchase price was 450 and mike kozlowski said that 500 was completely normal right in the um average ballpark of what other places [41:49] **Ellissa Owens:** they're charging we went with 650 for a traditional funeral april through october for cremation 200 and then for winter we are charging twelve hundred dollars for a traditional funeral the spring cleanup if it's needed depending on when it is what the weather is like will be a hundred dollars and then if we have to go in and blow snow that that's three hundred dollars so total of sixteen hundred dollars um and all of these are take into account if it's on a weekend or after hours which we set our after hours i think at 3 30 2 30 maybe we will tack on another 250 dollars to cover staff over time and pera fight gun things like [42:37] **Ellissa Owens:** that and then the cremation is 500 for the the burial um the spring cleanup is a hundred dollars no removal is 300 a lot of this all is just going to be new for us and is going to just require a lot of communication with the funeral home the local funeral home and phil so um if this gets to be too much we will communicate that you know but i do think that i agree we need to try [43:08] **Jim Michalski:** yeah i don't think it's i don't think the option is going to come around next year or the year after that i think we have to i mean we've all sat here and said how tax exempt this town is and we need to [43:22] **Jim Michalski:** try any way we can to even do this much makes a huge difference we gotta drive we're not losing anything if we do we can't do it we can't do it i will say we might lose a little but um [43:40] **Ellissa Owens:** so the other part of this is that in order to do this for winter burials you have to obviously thaw the ground so there is one estimate and i can approve it i just wanted to be transparent that there is going to be a little bit of equipment that we will have to purchase so this being one of those things um it's a frost remover for fourteen hundred dollars so all of these types of supplies mike kozlowski i think will help us research and figure out which one is [44:08] **Ellissa Owens:** the best for our community so i just want to be transparent with you guys all right [44:17] **Jim Michalski:** are you looking for consensus or emotion on this [44:21] **Lou Ohly:** emotion [44:23] **Jim Michalski:** all right so counsel [44:26] **Kris Huso:** did you ask mike if he wants is uh advertising on a dollar and we can you can pay for it i didn't shut up you're talking [44:47] **Ellissa Owens:** to purchase it and then i also need a motion to um amend the fee schedule okay what do you want first i really think i just need the amendment the schedule amendment [45:03] **Jim Michalski:** all right the council has heard do we have a motion to accept so let's have a second [45:15] **Lou Ohly:** second [45:16] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye aye aye [45:19] **Jim Michalski:** all right opposed to carried i think we should ask for consensus on this change also um [45:34] **Jim Michalski:** description um so we have consensus in this endeavor right looks like we have consensus so it's a goal [45:58] **Jim Michalski:** we're talking about the skilled labor one job description yep that's next correct um [46:11] **Phil Entner:** well wayne will be retiring in may so um i was hoping to get approval on advertising for the skilled weber one position by the end of this month i would like to do that we did amend this a little bit from not not much but a little bit from the last time while one wing was hired you need to add in all the cemetery stuff for the same time [46:48] **Kris Huso:** maybe we should add in their other duties as a sign i think i put that one in there yeah that's always a good one [46:58] **Ellissa Owens:** it's covered under you know anything you're asked to do as far as skills or duties it'll it'll cover that i think the important thing in here that that maybe isn't listed in here but certainly something phil and i have talked about um is eventually i think phil and i would both like to get to a point where maybe phil doesn't have to take as many on-call shifts as he does um and so with that being said starting this person off with the knowledge that eventually it could be that every other weekend the labor one and labor two position [47:34] **Ellissa Owens:** have to trade off or every two weeks or however they want to work it um i know we didn't talk about it bringing that up we're putting it in here just as an option [47:48] **Phil Entner:** yeah i'm not saying we have to go to it but it's in here in case and certainly right away if we have to go with some sort of different structure throughout the department we have the ability to do this [48:02] **Jim Michalski:** i see you two guys work that out yeah look that up bring it to us and if it's just a minor change i don't know if the council needs to even approve that because of the way the job descriptions all of them are [48:15] **Ellissa Owens:** i think the big thing that we want to hold this position accountable is to obtain their class d wastewater [48:20] **Phil Entner:** and i'll touch on that if you don't mind for a second the ability to obtain within 24 months 24 months because you need a minimum of a year working in the field before you became in you can even start going to classes to get your licenses i know 24 months seems like a long time and it is but um the first year just kind of doesn't come so that's why that's in there [48:54] **Jim Michalski:** you're looking for a motion to prove this job description correct and you want to advertise at what time [49:03] **Phil Entner:** by the end of the month okay i don't think we need to advertise right away but i would like to have it close right around the middle of february [49:12] **Ellissa Owens:** it closes around february hopefully hired by the end of march and he is he's done and in first person i'm hoping to bring this to council for the march meeting for a decision on hiring so that we can get this person in by [49:28] **Jim Michalski:** april so then we have a month to train all right council motion wants to approve that second one [49:40] **Kris Huso:** second [49:41] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye aye [49:44] **Jim Michalski:** oppose motion carried thank you moving on to 60 dump truck plow quotes [49:52] **Ellissa Owens:** uh so there's only one quote for uh dump truck plow because it is state bid we budgeted for this for a capital item do you have anything that you would like to add on on this subject [50:09] **Phil Entner:** we budgeted for more than enough [50:15] **Jim Michalski:** yeah questions about council motion [50:38] **Kris Huso:** we're still good for the uh storm coming [50:41] **Phil Entner:** oh yeah we're good we're good we're just replacing one that's like 14 so good [50:50] **Jim Michalski:** 18 foot utility trailer coats [50:56] **Ellissa Owens:** i'm gonna let phil explain this okay um sorry i wasn't ready for this one [51:05] **Phil Entner:** oh yeah i have four seasonal temporary employees i have six lawnmowers we have places everywhere that we mall all over every direction um i would like to kind of reconsolidate that part of it i would like i'd like this trailer to be able to put two employees two pieces of equipment weed whips and whatever else they need to literally bounce around and do all these areas because right now i have a person here a person there a person there and a person over there and that's just what they do and i think we can do much better than that it's uh [51:52] **Phil Entner:** this whole thing is coming this whole thing is kind of getting put together with this campground thing because we're going to be taking over all the maintenance of the campground as well hope everybody knew that right yeah okay good so we're going to be bouncing all over the place and this just makes sense to be able to move things around show up here do this today show up there do that tomorrow vice versa whatever so on so forth um so the one of the ideas is to send two guys to the cemetery have them knock it out in a day the other part of this that we're still working on a little bit behind the scenes is getting cip to commit to helping us one day a week whether it be at the cemeteries or at the arena or whatever having them [52:37] **Phil Entner:** commit to one day week working with our city staff to do things like weed whipping and even if we have some mowing or some maintenance at the cemetery or the arena whatever all of that i think will help save and consolidate our resources meaning our staff so one day they're at the cemetery the next day maybe they're at the campground and then doing some park maintenance i mean we can set a team of two to do something there's not very many things that one guy can do by himself so i think having a team of two will will help but they don't have equipment right now to haul that's the one thing we lack in we got plenty of equipment we just got to get it there um we added the cemeteries last year [53:24] **Phil Entner:** we're adding the campground this year um essentially trying to take our group of staff and combine them and get a better result is my point so so there's two quotes in front of you for that do you have a preference because it looks like quotes are the same uh we do have one local um business here um that's obviously your guys's call they are the same exact trailer same major same model same everything okay [53:57] **Jim Michalski:** question by the council or emotion [54:01] **Douglas Juntunen:** let's say you take the one vocal [54:04] **Kris Huso:** i'll make a motion [54:07] **Jim Michalski:** do we have a second [54:15] **Douglas Juntunen:** i'll second it but i have a question as far as budgetary items said it wasn't in the budget i take it so [54:21] **Phil Entner:** it was not in the budget [54:24] **Ellissa Owens:** this plow came in under budget so much it was ten thousand something how much was it under budget we i think we budgeted twenty [54:33] **Phil Entner:** stockpile a little money there it's going quick it's only january though [54:40] **Jim Michalski:** all right we have a second um any further questions discussion hearing none all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye aye [54:48] **Jim Michalski:** propose motion carried thank you moving on to 6f resolution 21-01-01 [55:03] **Ellissa Owens:** this is a 73 maintenance agreement phase 2 so with the transportation alternatives grant that we applied for last week we need to pass a resolution agreeing that we will maintain that trail should it go in so and we've had to do this on on the other trails the past years it's nothing new we're going to be doing it the on the first phase next [55:34] **Lou Ohly:** so so does that mean uh replacing tar and asphalt [55:39] **Ellissa Owens:** i think yeah i would yeah just like we do with our back pass to the to the west and [55:50] **Jim Michalski:** i think the east too as long as that trail is on the east side and also i don't believe any of these trail systems we have a line at them and our budget for that that might be something that we should look at to check on that [56:06] **Ellissa Owens:** i think we do have a trails uh there is a trail farm there's a trail [56:11] **Jim Michalski:** but i mean are we i'll have to look yeah that's to me that's something that every time we do it except for small repairs we would be looking for grant when i think before we attack [56:22] **Phil Entner:** i wonder too if it's something that now that we're doing our own patching if that's something that we could look at that's true you know [56:32] **Jim Michalski:** sure i never i guess i never thought of that but it's like the 73 west here or the bypass [56:38] **Jim Michalski:** west that's when do we get a 100 150 000 on grant on that and to me that's what we had to do for all of them any time that comes up yeah i just worry about the expense that it could be yeah if we do not have a grant right and if we had a really bad washout or something it'd be up to us to close it until we did get the money and funds to be able to fix it so that's something that would be our responsibility it always had them but to me we almost should have done it on the bypass one up here but people seem to go okay on the dirt [57:26] **Jim Michalski:** but anyway um do we have a motion on the resolution 21-01-411 [57:37] **Lou Ohly:** second [57:39] **Jim Michalski:** second [57:40] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye [57:43] **Jim Michalski:** moving on to 6g resolution 21-01-02 the 73 maintenance agreement phase one this is the same thing but for the um section of trail from lakeshore drive up to the roundabout [58:19] **Jim Michalski:** h teamsters local 320 union agreement january 1st 2021 through december 31st 2023 um [58:28] **Ellissa Owens:** so this you guys have a copy of the labor agreement that the union members agreed to nuts and bolts of the changes were we agreed to a three three three percent increase each year 21 22-23 a small increase in any training hours that the guys have of i think 25 cents um i think that was it those are the changes from the previous one yep those are the [59:04] **Ellissa Owens:** two big changes i can't think of any other yeah there'll be a lot of requests of course we've been going back and forth [59:25] **Jim Michalski:** questions by the council had a motion to approve [59:32] **Kris Huso:** i'll make a motion to approve the police officers teamster agreement for january 1st 21 through december 31st 23. [59:46] **Lou Ohly:** that second one second [59:49] **Jim Michalski:** all in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye [59:52] **Jim Michalski:** opposed motion i want to thank uh aaron for working on this too and chris and katie to get this accomplished there's there's a lot of stuff in this contract and a lot of things were asked for and moved back and forth and it turned out really well i think for all concerned so it's a good job moving on to 6i shelby resignation [1:00:32] **Ellissa Owens:** so shelby uh i think she gave this to me like right after our last council meeting so she's actually already gone but nonetheless we do have to prove her resignation um i don't know if we want to cover it now but laura hellwig is taking over in the interim she will be working four days a week um if she needs a little bit more i'm okay with her working a couple hours extra on on whatever day just so long as the desk is covered i checked in with her yesterday i believe and she seemed to be doing okay the library board did meet to discuss how they want to fill the position so [1:01:18] **Ellissa Owens:** since covid the numbers i don't have any of the numbers in front of me but the numbers have dropped obviously people aren't going out about nearly as much as they used to and so what we talked about was hiring for a part-time four days per week library director and that very well i mean laura may be interested in applying for that job and and waiting to see not not necessarily ruling full-time completely out but see what the next few month months bring us um i i don't want to not hire a library [1:02:04] **Ellissa Owens:** director because i don't want laura to just be hanging out there waiting for this to happen if it's gonna happen um so that's what we talked about the library board was okay with um with going that route so hiring for a part-time library director with the understanding that it will be reviewed after three or four months maybe six months it's a full-time position is completely budgeted for in their in their budget so i'm not opposed to it i just don't know that the need is necessarily there at the moment so that could all change when they start planning events for summertime um i think they're planning on doing a lot more like outdoor in the park events um so that will certainly take a [1:02:51] **Ellissa Owens:** little bit more time but that's what we had talked about so i told them that i would bring all that information here for you guys to make a decision on [1:03:02] **Jim Michalski:** and i think that's a good decision myself and we had up over 50 000 would you say that activities by uh customer coming in which we're now down to are we between 20 and 30 000. [1:03:22] **Ellissa Owens:** i don't i don't even know it has dropped tremendously in the past couple years [1:03:28] **Jim Michalski:** but even then that over 50 000 we only had a part-time librarian with part-time help and i ran just fine um i'm not against anything either but i think we would really want to look at it to go full time again [1:03:47] **Ellissa Owens:** i do think um if it does stay part-time like permanently after however three four months we look at this and we decide we want to keep this part-time i do think that hiring an additional part-time employee will help them quite a bit and will still be saving all the insurance costs so i do think that that's something that we should consider just because right now they're working one day or one person per day um so it's really hard to be away from the desk and get anything else done just just something to to think about for the [1:04:22] **Kris Huso:** future what is the covert thing for them right now is it can you have did they do an account and only so many [1:04:32] **Ellissa Owens:** i think they're allowing up to 10 people in 10 people yeah you don't know when that will change either that's not that's not required by the state or anything i think that's just what they what they were comfortable with yeah and i don't think that that's that number has changed since they reopened [1:04:51] **Jim Michalski:** so all right so i guess the first item is accepting uh shelby's resignation letter does i have a motion [1:05:01] **Douglas Juntunen:** so we'll have second [1:05:03] **Jim Michalski:** no in favor say aye **Council Members:** aye [1:05:06] **Jim Michalski:** all right oppose motion carried and the rest of it does the council have any uh [1:05:09] **Jim Michalski:** input on what katie just described as operation and then i guess we'll move on move ahead as so [1:05:19] **Jim Michalski:** planning you guys are okay with me at hiring advertising for hiring for a part-time and i don't think that the job description will change much from shelby uh that was just a couple years ago so if it needs any updating i'll send it out to you guys before i advertise for it um i don't think there's any huge rush to it i just um kind of want to put laura at ease i know this was kind of a jump for her so um but yeah i'll just kind of keep you guys in the loop as to what goes on and that's under jay so [1:05:54] **Jim Michalski:** we'll move on past jake it sounds like you have a consensus with the council 6k convention center relief grant [1:06:05] **Ellissa Owens:** so i don't if this was a stretch or not but i applied for it um i don't even know how much they how they're allocating it all but i applied for this for the arena with the understanding that we obviously didn't have a days last year nor did we have the gun show or the business expo any of those non-winter activities in the summer of last year so i applied for it the guy even emailed me back saying hey this might be a little bit of a stretch but i was like well it took five [1:06:40] **Ellissa Owens:** minutes so what the heck it doesn't hurt to try [1:06:45] **Jim Michalski:** yeah appreciate you looking forward yes you did highlight that we're down 94.6 percent [1:06:55] **Ellissa Owens:** oh yes i i i actually i forgot to fill out one of the boxes and so i had to resubmit it and i was like no in fact i did not make a mistake i meant to email this to you [1:07:12] **Jim Michalski:** thank you very good thank you do they have a date on monday of deceasing decision [1:07:22] **Ellissa Owens:** i think that we are last on the list um but i i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get anything i just thought i i didn't i didn't get a date either so i wasn't here to try [1:07:35] **Jim Michalski:** i think we have tried there's a time like every single year for like six years for anywhere from 500 000 to over a million on for for upgrading the arena and making additions and we have we've never been selected for anything before um [1:07:56] **Ellissa Owens:** we did get it the mighty ducks grant a couple years ago a couple years ago that was the only thing but nothing from the state where other arenas have yeah for years they have and we never have the mighty ducks grant i had heard that they were going to be coming out with a new mighty ducks grant for 2021 in january i haven't seen anything yet but we will be applying for that for the [1:08:12] **Ellissa Owens:** compressors should we should they ever advertise for it um but i haven't seen anything [1:08:18] **Jim Michalski:** so thank you well point-of-sale ordnance discussion um [1:08:24] **Ellissa Owens:** so this particular ordinance is uh was passed by the moves like windermere sanitary sewer district this is not necessarily the exact same document that i would like to pass it's just an example i want to know if the council is interested in phil and i researching what other communities have for a point of sale ordinance essentially what would happen in a real life example is if ted is [1:08:58] **Ellissa Owens:** going to sell his home before it can transfer ownership the sewer line needs to be inspected by a contractor it's enough it's just another step just like a building official would come and inspect the home for building issues a contractor would come televise the sewer line that that data would then get sent to phil phil would either pass or fail it depending on what he sees basically if there's a giant crack down the middle of it it's going to fail and it needs to be replaced before the transfer of the ownership goes from ted to whomever is buying the home so the cost of those things can be worked out however the homeowner and the buyer agree to it it doesn't necessarily all fall on the current homeowner or all fall on the buyer it's however they agree to it [1:09:45] **Ellissa Owens:** a lot of communities are doing this around here all the wlssd customers city of carleton cloquet thompson they're all they all have these this is this is not uncommon i know tim talked about it a year ago um and we it didn't go anywhere from there i don't know if that was i can't remember if you guys weren't interested or if maybe tim just didn't push it um just wanting to know whether you guys want me to look into this further [1:10:14] **Jim Michalski:** discussion by the council [1:10:18] **Douglas Juntunen:** well this would be saving uh the city uh the amount of water that they're that they're setting up to the sewer ponds by the homeowners having to replace this [1:10:30] **Ellissa Owens:** yep so essentially when you have a crack in your sewer service line rain water or moisture or anything goes into whatever crevice it can find and it gets pumped out to the pods and then we're treating that so that's the ini issue that we have yes great [1:10:48] **Kris Huso:** so if we do if we have to be inspected and if it ends up not being on their property that we have the expense of the city at the expense [1:11:00] **Phil Entner:** no actually um in our frozen water and sewer policy which is also the ownership policy of lateral lines it describes that the sewer line is the owner of the property it serves including the connection of the bank to the connection of the nation yeah i [1:11:18] **Phil Entner:** will add one thing on this you guys the city are doing your part by upgrading your infrastructure with all this lining and we're spending big money doing it now the second part of this is the lateral line so we can we can do all the main in the world but if the laterals aren't done essentially it's not doing any good the other thing too i'll add is typically these ordinances are brought up by the by the treatment facilities which is us and not by the secondary users i guess i would say typically you see that so i mean kind of the shoes on the wrong foot here a little bit but i mean it is what it is [1:11:58] **Ellissa Owens:** it's a good thing that the sewer district passed this yeah but we should have passed it first and made them past this typically is how you normally [1:12:03] **Ellissa Owens:** see that yeah like wlssd requested the city of carleton to pass this and they did so [1:12:12] **Jim Michalski:** the first initial and i think is why we dropped it here is the request was to inspect them within a certain length of time and they would have to be fixed in a certain length of time where this is at the sale of the property this is different than what was first brought to us and uh i think that's why you didn't even look at going farther [1:12:35] **Ellissa Owens:** yeah this is different yeah the other side of this too that phil and i have talked about is when we start doing a road project let's say we're gonna redo fourth street that's the first street on the cip list [1:12:52] **Ellissa Owens:** if if we know when we decide we're going to do 4th street in 2022 phil and i start knocking on doors and say listen now is a really good opportunity to have your sewer and water service if it's that old replaced we're going to have a contractor i don't know how much it'll be it'll be different for everybody the cost but it's never going to be cheaper than that that's a golden opportunity while everything is ripped up on your yard looks like crap might as well do everything all at once so we will we will take the initiative to do that once road projects start and that will help our ini issue also but i do think that i mean we're not going to be able to do all the roads in 10 years or whatever so [1:13:40] **Douglas Juntunen:** is there a time limit that the homeowner or buyer has to uh has to uh comply with this to have it in place [1:13:51] **Ellissa Owens:** so the city of carleton did theirs i can't remember when they passed it but they said um i think theirs was january 2020 they passed it so they must have passed it sometime in 2019. so essentially you just give a few months notice six months notice to the homeowners i got a letter so we could send it out with the water bills [1:14:14] **Jim Michalski:** and i don't want to pass this i don't have anything prepared to pass tonight i just want to know if i should spend time drafting something for us [1:14:21] **Lou Ohly:** i could agree with a point of sale but not where you're forced to go do it right now and have a deadline with the point of sale that's different [1:14:31] **Douglas Juntunen:** well maybe this is what it was asking is so if we're requiring them to do it at the point of sale is it have to be done prior to closing them i mean this isn't right [1:14:44] **Ellissa Owens:** so yeah i would imagine it would have if that's part of the requirements that would have to be done we might have to look at that because if it gets into winter we will have to ask because i mean you could be essentially paying four or five times more to replace the same item as you would do i think too this i was telling phil this earlier today i would say like one or two homeowners [1:15:11] **Ellissa Owens:** each year contact me about the requirements of replacing their service lines so people are taking the initiative and doing this themselves which is great um i just think that this almost forces them to solve the problem but the winter thing i don't know i don't know if they allow the close of sail and then you have i don't know [1:15:35] **Phil Entner:** yeah we could look into that because they could get really carried away really carried away but what i what i would hate to see is us past this a winter sale happen and then it never never gets replaced well i mean it's like anything else if it's followed up on property and then properly and the checks and balances happen i mean yeah it is what it is yeah [1:15:52] **Phil Entner:** so i just i i think the city is doing their part and now i think it's time to just to really start going and get this whole thing as a city-wide issue at least we're working on it that's just my two cents [1:16:04] **Kris Huso:** excuse me go ahead i was just going to say i would also add into it besides at the point of sale i would also add into it if we're going to be doing a major infrastructure project like you did 4th street that would also be not just knocking on their doors and saying will you it'll be no you will at this point if we find it to be bad it will be replaced it's not will you replace it because we are putting that money in the infrastructure and we're still going to have ini issues [1:16:38] **Phil Entner:** yeah we'll have to see we'll have to talk about engineers if they have policies on i'm sure that you i'm sure they've got policies on service lines um so when whenever we do a big project we just have to make sure that those policies are in place before yes and if it's a hardship then it could also be put on assessed assessed over a long period of time so people that are not able to pay board code
