[01:33] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Can you add E as well to council business? [01:35] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Okay, so this A will be B for the council business and H will be C for the council business. Yep, I'm sorry, yeah, E will be a new one, so E will be D. All right, and a second by Ken? [01:45] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Yes. [01:46] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: All right, any more discussion or anything on this? If not, we will have a vote. All in favor? [01:50] **Council Members**: Aye. [01:51] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Opposed? Passed. Okay, council business. This is the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 351, approving Mediacom Minnesota LLC's capital franchise application and agreement, adopting ordinance, and approving summary publication of the ordinance. We have attorney Bob Vose here that's been representing us with our cable franchise agreements. [02:10] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: And you did have the first reading at the last meeting related to this issue and now the second reading and then, of course, the adoption of the ordinance if you so desire. And then also we need a motion to approve a summary publication of that ordinance. I don't know if Bob, do you have any questions? [02:25] **Attorney Bob Vose**: Yeah, Acting Mayor and Council, this is about as clean I think as they get. I was here a month ago, you gave direction on the last three issues. I went away and proposed specific language on those issues. The company agreed to all that language and so, I think that the franchise that you directed us to bring back is in front of you. I appreciate all your help on this. [02:40] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I make a motion when we move ahead with this. [02:42] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Second. [02:43] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Okay. Any discussion? [02:45] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I just want to say that I've seen more Mediacom trucks in town since we had our last meeting than I think we have in the last two years. And our picture is better for some reason. [02:52] **Attorney Bob Vose**: Working on it. [02:53] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Okay, got a motion and all in favor? [02:55] **Council Members**: Aye. [02:56] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Opposed? Okay, it passed. Thank you. Okay, so we go to A: Just and correct claims, which is B now down below. Leroy, you had something on that? [03:05] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Yeah. The only thing I wanted to say to my council colleagues is that when I was on the council last time, believe it or not, I read that budget every time we got it. I went through the whole budget. The problem is that I'm having is that I don't have the time that I had back then to read these things every time, so I finally got to sit down this time and go through the last one—I never read them things—but what I ain't totally amazed by is how crazy it all gets and for the life of me, the cost of technology today just drives me crazy why these budgets change so much every month. If you just take your monthly printout, it goes—some things go all the way from $32 to $4,700—they're changing all the time. And we got staff employees, I don't know why that stuff don't stay more balanced. But I would appreciate if my colleagues would spend some extra time on that budget and share their thoughts on that because it drives me crazy, that's it. [03:55] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Okay. With that, any more discussion? If not, we'll take a vote. All in favor? [04:00] **Council Members**: Aye. [04:01] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Opposed? Passed. Okay. Is there a motion and a second on that? I don't think that... Oh. [04:06] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Oh, yeah. Okay, I thought Ken made it. I'm sorry, that's my fault. [04:08] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: I missed it too. [04:09] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I missed the motion. [04:10] **Council Member Mary Dalton**: Yeah, we all did. Leroy made it. Motion. And then I seconded it. [04:13] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: On the Justin Correct claims? [04:14] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Yeah. [04:15] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: I apologize. I didn't hear that either. That's my fault then. Okay, so the next one then, Leroy, is yours? (H: HCMC Paramedic Agreement) [04:20] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Yeah, this thing here, I was hoping to get the stop down this week and talk to Tim, but I wasn't able to. It really concerns me of where this road is leading to. And what I mean by that is I think it's wonderful that they wanna work together and do this, but I know we've had our own education system going before. I don't know if this is something a little different. I also don't know what this is gonna lead to, if it's gonna lead to more employees. And I also realize that whatever we can do to work together with other people is good. But I'm a little bit scared that I would like our ambulance service to just be kind of a local good ambulance service, and I'm a little bit afraid where this is gonna lead to. Now, if Tim was here tonight, the other thing I would tell Tim is that I think this town is so lucky to have him. He's a young fireball and he wants to set the world afire and he has nothing but good that he tries to do down there. But sometimes dad needs to rein in the young guys when they get a little bit too carried away. And I'm okay with this either way, but I just wonder if we aren't getting a little bit too far out there with discussing it more. [05:20] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Ron? [05:21] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Tim wasn't able to make it tonight. He said if anything got pulled down, he'd be willing to lay it over to the next meeting. [05:25] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: The next meeting? [05:26] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Yeah. [05:27] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Would you rather have that, Leroy? [05:28] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: I'd like the others' opinion. [05:29] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I don't see any reason to pull it over. From my understanding, is all this is is that Hennepin County Medical Center paramedic program—which and with Hennepin County, everybody knows it's all right in the heart of the city—so what they get is all of the big city type ambulance calls. So they wouldn't get say a farm rescue if they had one or that kind of stuff. And what this does is just bring those students down and let them ride with the ambulance. It's a training. [05:50] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: No, it's just like a ride-along type thing. [05:52] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: On the job training. It isn't putting extra load on our people that we got there. [05:55] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Nope. Actually it'll help them. [05:57] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Nope. They'll just, they just go and observe. [05:59] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Mike speaks from a position— [06:00] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: What concern I have is that, hey, this is a stressful job and I don't wanna put any more stress. So if you tell me it's that way, I guess I'm glad to hear that, but nobody told me that before. [06:08] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Mike speaks from a position of knowledge, having served on the ambulance as well as the fire department. And he is correct and Tim certainly could address this next meeting if you so desire. But what it is is the Hennepin County Paramedic Program, which is different than the training we provided here. We've offered EMT training locally before. This would be for paramedics. And Mike did a very good job of explaining the difference in the types of calls they get in the core urban area compared to out here and why it's advantageous, because they're not all gonna end up with jobs in the Metro Corps. It may have the benefit of bringing us employees down the road, but I don't know if that's necessarily the core purpose. But it's a two-way street. I mean, our people are gonna learn from them too. I mean, that's the good part. They're gonna share knowledge both directions. [06:55] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: They're right. When people take EMT classes like in Cannon Falls, they have to go to—well, I went to Rochester. Some people go to Hennepin County to experience that kind of call. So you kind of get the different call than you were used to down here. I think it's a good thing. [07:10] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: The one thing that I would like to see is that we do it and I don't—is this kind of a permanent thing or is this like a six month thing or what is this? [07:18] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: I hadn't reviewed that agenda item so I really can't address that. [07:22] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Council has viewed it entirely. And I really would like to try this and do this but I would like to have it in a situation where it gets reevaluated in six months and talked about any concerns or things that are happening. That would be the only thing I'd like to see with it. [07:35] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: I'll make a motion that we approve this and ask him to come back in six months and explain to us how it's working, address any concerns we have, make sure it's not taking away opportunities from our own EMTs or our own EMT students. And plus I'm sure there's more insurance. We have to think about that too. [07:55] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: So I like the motion, thank you. Do I hear of a second? [07:58] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Second. [07:59] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Do we have any more discussion? [08:00] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: With respect to the insurance requirement, the motion support indicates that the League has verified that we meet the insurance requirements within the agreement. So there is no outstanding question on that point. [08:12] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Right, yeah. [08:13] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Any other discussion? Hearing none, we'll have a vote. All in favor? [08:16] **Council Members**: Aye. [08:17] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Opposed? Pass. Okay, the next one was E and now is D. [08:20] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: In front of you is a revised schedule of event street closures. And he had an additional one today, so he put that on. Thank you, Acting Mayor and Council, I apologize for requesting the item be pulled down to the business section. However, when I prepared this memo, I did not have the dates for the VFW's event in June. They contacted me yesterday, gave me those dates. I included it in there, memo that you guys have in front of you, and I would ask that Council consider action on that rather than the item that was in the original agenda package. None of the other information changed. It was just the addition of that item. [08:50] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: And these are all events that we have had in the past? There's nothing new on this list? [09:00] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: No. [09:01] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I'll make a motion we approve. [09:02] **Council Member Cedar Madsen**: Second. [09:03] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: OK. Any discussion? Hearing none, all in favor? [09:05] **Council Members**: Aye. [09:06] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Opposed? Pass. OK, reports. [09:09] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Just a quick update. Two weeks ago, we opened bids on the Alexander Court project, the cul-de-sac down there for the Grand Stay Hotel project. We got nine bids, all very favorable ones. Those will come to the council before the next meeting for approval. Thank you. [09:24] **Water Superintendent Tom Twohey**: Just a reminder that hydrant flushing will start on Monday. Take approximately two and a half to three weeks. There may be some discoloration in your water. If you find that to be true, just run your outside faucet or your cold water. Get it out of there. In front of all of you, you have a lovely parting gift. I was able to secure 200 of these from the DNR for free. It's a toilet test kit. I'll say it again if you don't learn one thing ever from me, check your toilet, check it often. And so we have too many $300, $500, $1,000, $1,800 water bills because the water was leaking in the toilet. Nobody did anything about it. So please, please, please call, go online, go on YouTube, follow me out there I'll come out there look at your all your toilets. Thank you. [10:05] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Thanks, Tom. Chief? [10:07] **Police Chief Jeff McCormick**: Well, as you probably recall from your elementary days, April showers bring May flowers. However, in my line of work, April showers also bring out lots of kids on bicycles. The weather has shifted, we're no longer worrying about plowing and snow removal, but we do need to worry about people that are out walking, kids on bicycles. So when you're driving, especially after school hours and before school hours, watch for them and watch for people walking in the evenings, especially as it starts getting dusk. That's all I have. Thank you. [10:35] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: We have Samantha Meyer started this week, our collaborative planning employee with Goodhue County. She started with Goodhue County yesterday, or actually on Monday, which was yesterday, okay, and today, and then she'll be here tomorrow and Thursday. Her schedule's gonna kind of flex, but we'll keep it pretty much even 50/50. She'll be concentrating again on the planning commission initially zoning ordinance update and that'll be enough for the short term. And I mentioned at the last meeting that our library director would start on this week also; she had the issue with housing so she is starting—she's found housing—she will start on April 24th. Only thing I have, Leroy, I know you went to the last chamber meeting; Dave Moroni and I are gonna go Thursday so you won't have to do that. Otherwise, that's all I've got. [11:15] **Council Member Cedar Madsen**: We had a very productive Public Works meeting today. We were able to move through an issue that I think has been a stumbling block: the connection of the Milltown State Trail to existing trails in Cannon Falls. As we approach the summer season and wish to be inviting to bikers on all of these trails, we knew we needed to have a connection and there's a considerable amount of pressure, interest, concern from citizens, from the surrounding community, from folks involved in other trails about how we were going to do that in a safe and effective way. So balancing a number of different concerns including safety, expense, temporary versus permanent... I think that's it. And just availability of sound and reasonable routes, what we have determined is to devote our primary focus to running a route through Hannah's Bend, through the upper part—I'm not sure I'm gonna describe that right—through the upper part of Hannah's Bend Park, grading it, putting fine—I think fine gravel, I don't wanna over-speak. And our Public Works Department will complete that work and the timeline, weather permitting, would be intended to be completed by the end of the month, hopefully, right? Okay. And then parallel with that, we will establish some signage on the road—and what road is that? Remind me, the curve, come on... Sixth Street, right, by the fairgrounds. There's that sharp curve, not necessarily sharp, but it's sometimes traveled at a higher than recommended rate of speed. In order to encourage safe and attentive driving of folks that may be sharing the roadway with cyclists that may not elect to travel on the gravel in Hannah's Bend, we're gonna put some "share the road" signage just to encourage again some mindfulness and safe practices in that area which can't be bad even if there aren't any cyclists on the road. So we'll be developing the Hannah's Bend temporary route with signage directing towards downtown and connection to the Cannon Valley Trail and at the same time we'll put the "share the roadway" signs on 6th with the eventual intent of looking at the experience of cyclists and our community to determine whether either of those routes or potentially an alternative third route that we have not yet explored would be the best permanent solution to connect these trail systems. [13:30] **Council Member Cedar Madsen**: June 2nd is the—oh yes, and the DNR will be here in town on June 2nd to perform a ribbon-cutting ceremony right at that point where the existing Mill Town State Trail ends at 6th. I believe there will be a ceremony. We encourage citizens to come out. The DNR will be instrumental in developing whatever that permanent connection solution may be. So we would like to encourage their active participation in that and I think showing a strong show of support and interest by Cannon Falls residents will be important to that. Did I cover it? [13:58] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: It was a lot, thank you. Leroy. [14:02] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Couple things or quite a few things I guess. Ron, the park board thing, is there any chance—I was thinking about the 13th of this month that we could have our first meeting? I was thinking like a 6:30 meeting and I was just wondering what you thought about that. Any chance of having it earlier than that? You'd mentioned the last Thursday of the month first, but I don't know what I think. [14:22] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Well, I thought I guess we would have been farther along. I'm trying to get the paper with the people on there and stuff. So I didn't know that where we were at. [14:30] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: You can keep me informed on that? [14:31] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Well, there'd be no problem. I mean, April 13th at 6:30. [14:33] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Well, let's tentatively plan that. I asked him, and he's available. And then if you can give me a list of the new people that are going to be on there, are you going to contact them, or do I need to contact them? [14:42] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: No, I'll contact them. They're aware that the list was in your packet, and they're aware that they would be... likely appointed tonight. [14:50] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Okay. The other thing is—and we don't have to discuss it tonight—but I haven't heard anything back about a closed meeting yet. And I don't really want to discuss it, but keep me informed on that. The other things that I need to talk to you, Ron, about is—and this is really a big challenge for me, it's really hard, might be one of the most miserable moments of my life—but I have talked to the attorney about our issues like you guided me with the close meeting and since I've had that meeting I wanted to get back to you. I've met with MnDOT with some issues that they helped me with that I want to get back to you. They got a hold of me about the gal at the library that's having trouble finding housing. And I said I wished you would have got a hold of me sooner. I could have done some things to help because I even have a place she could have had. So I don't quite know why the library didn't get you more involved or why you weren't more involved. I've had probably about 10 people in the last two weeks that have called me with issues and I have sent them to Tom, I've sent them to you, and I've sent them to the people that I wanted them to go to. Some of them didn't want to do that, they wanted me to take care of it, but I told them I'd rather they talk to you guys first, and if it doesn't get resolved or taken care of, then they get back to me, and I will work on that. Two of the people called me back after they said they had talked to Tom or you and said wanting to know what I had done down there because it's pretty obvious them people don't like you. [16:20] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: And I said, oh, holy balls. I don't know what that's about. I guess I don't want to discuss it with you. Did they get their stuff taken care of? But I really felt bad or was offended by that and somehow some signals got sent I guess that I didn't know I was offending people down here or something. I also wanted to stop and talk today on the street and there's such a "Babe disease" down here that he's trying to get everybody in the city. Affected my thinking is I didn't even know if I wanted to stop and talk to Babe because I was afraid Tom would go by or somebody else from the city would go by and all of a sudden "Leroy and Babe are out to get everybody again." And that's the last thing I'm doing on this council. I don't know how the hell I got started, I don't know what's going on, but I do know that there's down here there's kind of a meanness. People feel that I'm out to get them. I had to apologize to Diane, our secretary, because I said something that offended her and I didn't even know what it was. It came back to me, I had offended her. So I came down and had a meeting with her and apologized and stuff. There's such a dissent and anger and backstabbing going on that it—it just drives me crazy. And I feel like I might be causing it and I don't think that's a good thing. [17:40] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: So I'm 70 years old. I like to be comfortable in life. I love the town. I love my family. And I'm not here to make people's lives miserable. And I seriously decided I had to have this meeting tonight because I can't seem to get a closed meeting to share it with you. I didn't want to share it with the public. But I'm to the point where I don't feel I can get the message through that I need to get through and take care of people. I've had an issue with one of our employees. They got a hold of me and asked me to take care of something with them, and I haven't been able to get a meeting with Ron since March 22nd. He had the flu and I totally understand and then he had to take a couple days off but never got back to me after that so I can't discuss this stuff. So I asked Cedar to meet with me for five minutes because I'm gonna put it on Cedar to take care of it because I told this employee I would see that this gets addressed. So I don't take this as a threat or anything, but I want a comfortable life, and if there's some kind of meanness going on or something, I really don't want to be a part of it. And if we can't get this resolved, then I have to resign. I can't be on here because I didn't come down here to divide people and create this division and stuff. So I don't know what the answer is outside of that—something has to change or some people have to resign or something. Or otherwise, if I'm causing all this anxiety, I wanna resign. So I will get this figured out and hopefully hear something between now and the first meeting of May. And hopefully we can get this resolved, otherwise that's the direction I'm headed in. And I'm sorry to cause this, but I'm not a mean person, I don't have an agenda, but I just wanna live my life comfortable. I don't wanna lead a life where all this division is going on. So that's my closing thoughts, thank you. [19:40] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Ken? [19:41] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I don't know how many people know it, but I know there's a lot of people that drive up to the cities every day, and Dakota County is gonna be tearing out the bridges on Highway 52 that go over County 42. So they better expect that they're gonna have some delays. But they're gonna, County 42 is gonna be completely cut off. What they're gonna be doing is they're gonna run the traffic down the off-ramps and back up on the on-ramps. So they're gonna tear both bridges down at the same time and make this a one-year job. So it's supposed—they're hoping to have it done by sometime this fall. They actually started work yesterday. They only saw—don't feel bad that nobody knows about it because they only saw fit to notify the people in Rosemount, so. But I know we have an awful lot of people that go up to the cities, so I wanted to get word out that next week is—if they're on schedule—next week is when they're going to switch traffic to the ramps. I think that's the best thing to come out of this meeting tonight. So you know, go check out their website, they have a lot of stuff on there. [20:30] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Well again, they didn't let people know. And now as far as that closed meeting, I thought it was going to be next meeting, am I right, Ron? [20:35] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: Rob—I think Mayor was going to talk to Council Member McCusker. [20:40] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Okay, he's at a conference this week, so. [20:42] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Okay, so what's the process for that? Can a council member call for a closed meeting or do they have to ask the mayor to schedule it and then we go from that route? [20:48] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: I believe that—I guess I don't know the answer to that, Mike, but I think I'd have to look at our code on that, our charter. But I think more than one council member, two or three, could actually call for a special meeting or call for a meeting. But I believe that the majority would have to vote in favor of closing it. [21:05] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Right. And then if you're gonna have a close—if there's notification, depending on what type of meeting it is, there may be notifications that are needed. [21:10] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: That's kind of what I was wondering. Because if you wanted to close it two weeks from now, I don't know what... is it a two-week notice period? One-week notice period? Because they could get it in the newspaper next week and then on the agenda for the following Tuesday, if that works, otherwise we could be looking at it another month. [21:25] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Yeah, and if Leroy was looking at the first meeting in May, that shouldn't be an issue. [21:30] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: I did—you did send me to the attorney and the attorney is the one that told me to come back and do this. So, and when I was on the council before, we had at least four or five closed meetings. That's nothing new. If—if—if—and I shouldn't really say this, but if I want to get technical, I wish we'd have had a close meeting about the Lynn Berg situation. So don't think of closed meetings as some kind of thing where nobody's going to know anything, it's all being hidden. I want this to be open, but I just don't want to do it out in front of the public. I want everybody to... [21:55] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: I don't know that anybody's afraid of one. I mean, I'm certainly not. We just got to make sure we do everything proper and by the book, which means the legal noticing in the newspaper, the posting on the walls and all that kind of stuff. [22:05] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Exactly. [22:06] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: So, Leroy, you're talking the first in May now? [22:08] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: Well, as soon as you can have it. I mean, if we can get it done in two weeks, I would like it. So if we can get a hold of Robbie. [22:15] **Council Member Cedar Madsen**: Okay. Can I add one more thing before we're done? [22:16] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Yes. [22:17] **Council Member Cedar Madsen**: The signs that Cedar mentioned, I just want to say that the 9:30 Coffee Group down at Brewster's has agreed to donate $375 towards the cost of those signs. So give a shout out to the old guys that meet every day at 9:30. [22:30] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: That's great. [22:31] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: The young at heart. [22:32] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I'd like to add one more thing. Ron, has MnDOT given us any notice about the road work on County 24? Because they said they would give us two weeks' notice so we can get it in the paper. [22:41] **City Administrator Ron Johnson**: I haven't heard anything from MnDOT. [22:42] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: I work for them and I'm not surprised. [22:45] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Thanks for your honesty. You do realize that's memorialized forever on YouTube now. [22:50] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: He didn't mean it. [22:51] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: Anything else? No? If not, I'll take a motion. [22:55] **Council Member Leroy McCusker**: So moved. [22:56] **Council Member Ken Carpenter**: Seconded. [22:57] **Acting Mayor Mary Dalton**: I adjourn.
