This is the uh regular city council meeting for Minatrista, June 2nd, 2025. First order, I'd like to ask that you all join me in pledge of [Music] allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. So, welcome everyone here this evening as well as later on if you might be watching on YouTube. Glad that you're watching. Um, just a reminder for those here, if you have a cell phone, please turn them on airplane mode or silent so they don't disrupt the meeting. And I'm going to start out with introductions. I'm Lisa Whan. I'm the mayor. And to my left, we have council members Kathleen Revkin, Peter Vicky, Claudia Lacy, and Brian Govern. And then staff that's present this evening. Um I'm going to start out with Allison Falsky who is our city engineer with WSB. Gary Peters is our director of public public works. There's too many publiclix here. And then um Alli Palus is our assistant administrator. And then to my right we have um our administrator Jasper Krugal. Brian Grim is our finance director. And then our chief of police uh Craig Squires. So, and we also have Aaron Vulmer with us this evening who will be um updating us on our water treatment plant. So, with that, are there any additions or changes to the agenda? If none, is there a motion to approve the agenda as presented? So moved. Thank you, Miss Refkin. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Mr. Govern. Any further questions? Hearing none, all those in favor signify with I. I. I. All those opposed. Motion passes 5. So, next we move on. Uh we don't have any special presentations and we don't have anybody signed up under uh persons to be heard. So we're going to move on to a consent agenda items. Are there any you wish to remove? I did have a question about u item G um the claims. Okay. I just noticed that there was uh checks cut to Mediacom and Midco for internet. Just wanted to make sure that is that for different uh lo buildings within the city that are getting it. Yeah. If I may, I can answer that. So, our primary ISP is Midco and what we did is we have um the SDWAN switch that we just put in allows for two ISPs. So, what we did is we dialed back the mediacom connection. So, we have redundant ISPs. That's kind of a best practice for um for cities. So, in case one goes down, we still have the backup. We're paying I think the lowest amount that we can for our organization for the Mediacom one, which is our backup. So, that's why we have two. Okay. Good deal. Just want to make sure we weren't double dipping. No. All right. Peter has a question on uh item D, the St. Bonnie Fire Department contract reconciliation request. Okay, we can talk about it now then, real quick. Okay. No, I was just wondering um why we didn't claim it back. Was it just so that we kind of paid forward our contribution? Um it was kind of um I covered it last time. They're going to use it to buy um some equipment. Oh, okay. So, that's why. Okay. Okay. Yeah. That's what we we've done that every time. Um and it basically we're going to have to pay for the equipment at some point in time. So, we just say instead of them cutting us back a check or could have bought it last year, he just waited and so now he's just going to use the extra. I want once brought the money back, but usually we've left it in the capital reserve or something. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay. If there's nothing else, then the consent agenda items include a approve our work session meeting minutes from May 19th, 2025. Approve our city council regular meeting minutes from May 19th, 2025. Approve our 2025 step increases for non-union employees. Accept the St. Bonafacious Fire Department contract reconciliation request. And E is accept resignation for assistant city administrator Ali Poffus effective June 20th, 202. [Laughter] hate to see you go. And then but we understand you have a wonderful opportunity. And then um F is approve our license agreement for 4090 Enchanted Lane. And G is a resolution to approve claims. And H is a resolution to approve equipment CRP purchase to replace our 2007 Bobcat skid loader. Is there a motion to approve consent agenda items A through H? So moved. Thank you, Miss Lacy. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Miss Refkin. Any further questions, comments? Hearing none. All those in favor signify with I. I. All those opposed. Motion passes. 50. Thank you very much. And we'll move on now to business items. And we have Aaron Wulmer here this evening updating us on the water treatment plant. And you're going to tell us it's really, really a whole lot cheaper, right? Than I wish. and thank you for joining us. Yeah, madame mayor, members of council, thanks for having me back. Um, yeah, so I'm here to provide an update to the water treatment plant design. That was a spoiler alert. 10 items uh for today. We'll review the some 3D uh renderings from the interior and exterior of the facility, talk about a cost update, and we'll talk about a final schedule. So, um, in front of you, you probably have a little sheet with some QR codes on it. We won't go through them in detail, but if you're curious what the inside of a water plant looks like, or at least the inside of your water plant uh, will look like, you can scan those QR codes and they'll take you to a kind of a spot inside the facility that you can look around and see the pipes. So, the colors aren't real accurate, but in general, it gives you a feel for this. Uh the image you see out there on the left is kind of what it's going to feel like when you're inside when you're looking at the uh QR code. So um we'll just briefly kind of talk through the different spaces uh and the different levels of the facility. So this is a basement uh section view of the the water treatment plant. Um so we have kind of the the main area of the basement where that uh bullet number one is is basically a basement pipe gallery. That's where some of the water is being piped from the filters to the clear well and back and forth. And then the tanks on the left and the right are reclaimed tanks. So when we do a backwash your filters, we put the water in those tanks. We hold it, let any iron and manganesees settle out and then we recycle the the decanted water off the top back to the tread of the treatment plant. Uh so the water plant is uh very efficient from a water reuse standpoint. And we've got some other small uh recycle pumps in the basement. Uh and then you can see the clear well uh just to the bottom there. Uh and that's where we store the finished water. And then we have the pumps that you'll see in in the next slide uh that distribute the water. So that QR code Erin, just out of curiosity, um so the iron and maganesees settles down, but how does it is it 100% you take out the maganesees and iron or is there a certain percentage that still remains in the water that's pumped back into the system? Um, so we um we filter out as much as we can, right, to get it below your secondary limit for iron and magnes so it doesn't go to zero. Okay, that's what I was wondering. Low of iron and magnes to the point where most people wouldn't notice. Okay, residual. Okay. And what happens to the iron and magnes once it's pulled out? Does this go to a landfill or um so it's it's actually stays in a liquid form. So whatever settles out into the bottom of that tank, we kind of accumulates over time and then we pump that out into the sanitary sewer. So there's not no solids that are removed from this facility. It's all uh goes out in a liquid form which then eventually goes into the river. Yep. I think it goes down to water system, the wastewater plant and then back to the council's problem. Yeah. Yeah. Um so this is the main level view. You can see the parking lot there in dark gray. We've got a small admin building and then the pipe gallery and then the clear well and uh pumps there on the kind of towards the back of the facility. So if we zoom in a little bit No, Erin, just for reference. Yeah. What are you calling the front? Is that facing Highway 7? Yeah, sorry. Okay, that's okay. Um it would be it' be the it'd be turned around. Yeah. So the um that's fine. And I just was curious. The parking lot area would face the parking lot is front. Where would be front? That'd be facing the homes. Yeah. Oh, it's facing the homes. Okay. The white area there where the Yep. where the tank is. Where the underground tank would be would be towards Highway 7. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Um so this is an image from the top of the plant. You can see the pipe gallery there and then the filters on both sides. So there's four filters. Um, if we take one filter offline for backwash, we can treat 2100 gallons a minute with the three that remain. So, there's some redundancy there, but that's typical standard when we design treatment facilities. And there's your high service pump station. So, this pumps the water that's in that clear well out into the distribution system. Again, we talked about that early on that we put enough storage on site to serve you through 20 240 as far as storage uh capacity needs. Uh and these pumps are designed to pump 2,800 gallons per minute out into the distribution system. So, slightly more than your treatment capacity just to handle how you know your daily demand. Uh this is a chlorine room. So you can see we'll have six chlorine cylinders online with a few uh in there as well for spares. Uh so that's for disinfection and oxidation of your iron and manganesees. Uh and then we have a few other chemical rooms there. Uh numbers six and seven are six is fluoride, seven is a polyphosphates for uh light and copper management. Um and then the QR codes will kind of show you those rooms if you Yeah. So, fluoride, not everybody's. That's a good thing. No, no, no. We're not going to get into that. I'm sorry, but is I have to put it in per state and federal regulations. So, it's okay. Uh that I mean, it is what it is at this point. If if for some reason the EPA decides to remove it, you can turn the chemical off at that point. Thank you. Perfect. Anything for iron and manganesees removal. So, Uh, and then this is the upper level of the water treatment plant. If I zoom in a little bit, uh, you can see that large green box is your airator. So, we bring water in to the basement of the plant all the way upstairs, goes through a large aluminum box that pushes air through it, and we airate the water to oxidize the iron. So, we're not using a chemical process there. It's just using uh natural um, uh, ox oxidation. And then we have uh um basically doors into the filter bays on the left and right that you can walk into and look into the top of the filters. Exterior renderings what everyone really cares about because I know the stuff inside really isn't that interesting to most people. So um what's interesting I watched through the other one. So for perspective I think to your earlier question orientation. So north being up. Okay. the uh the Woodland Cove homes. You can see the burm there um that we put in to kind of shield the homes from the water plant. Uh so the homes are to the top of the the slide. Highway 7 is to the to the bottom. So look from from the parking lot looking at the water plant. So this is looking south towards Highway 7. This is what the front entrance of the water plant would look like. Um how tall is it? 33. 35. Yeah, probably less than 35, but pretty close. 30 33 34. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, in that range. Um, we're using pre-cast tip up panels. Pretty standard for water plant construction. Um, there's a little bit of a texture to those panels. You can't really tell um on the top portion, but the bot there's a slight difference between the bottom and the top just to give it um break it up a little bit. We do have a couple windows on the admin space. Uh but the rest of the facility is pretty much pre-cast tip up wall panels. They're insulated. So there's concrete on both sides and then insulated. Um it's a sandwich panel. That's what they call it. Um yeah. And then there's a little awning over the main entrance. So pretty straight. Do the pumps be audible from the outside of the building? You won't hear pumps. Do you do the landscaping or do we? Gary. Gary. Gary volunteers. What was that? I I hear the questions. Who does the landscaping? Well, no. Who pays for the original bushes? And so that's a small cost, but yeah. So the trees that we So there are some trees that are currently planted on top the burm. We have to take part of the burm away to put in a storm water pond. So we'll transplant those trees and move them elsewhere. Um there will be very minimal landscaping around this facility. Really what you're looking at it right there. We felt like it made some sense to put a curb and a few shrubs up front just for plowing and maintenance. Um, but that's about it. The rest will basically be grass. We'll probably do more of a natural prairie over top the clear well. Um, just for no, you know, low maintenance type. So, but it should be pretty basic. Wild flowers. Flowers. I like that you mentioned this, but um, you were saying natural grasses. I don't know if any of you have driven by the Met Council, but it's a weed fest. It looks like we should, you know, someone should mow the lawn and bill them. And it doesn't look like they have a plan and it says don't mow. We have a three-year plan. It's it's I challenge you to go look at this. I guarantee you if that thing gets taken over by weeds, every resident in in Woodland Co will be complaining about it. When I make about weeds at the main entrance, just that our city represent itself better than other cities and their public buildings. But it depends. It depends on the seed mix quality you're using, too. I mean I I often tell this to people you know the stuff you buy at Menard's 10% of it's going to be you know or it could be up to almost 30% is not just weeds if you take 30 of them you look how small they are and I look at the comments of the bag you need a lot of weeds I mean if we do this it'll be a lot more quality seed that we would use on top of it we don't want a weed bed either that we have to maintain you know it should be something that we're going to like so but good point okay so again the coloring on this one isn't Great. Just based on the rendering, but this is basically just an isometric from that same side. So, this would be looking south. Um, if we go to the other corner of the building, this would be looking uh southwest. So, we have a a small chemical delivery garage door there. A few doors on the on the north end for other chemical and access points. You can see some of the uh the vents and louvers on the roof. So, that's necessary for, you know, interior ventilation. Uh, and then we've got kind of the sidewalk, but you're not going to see those. Oh, they're really high. I mean, yeah, yeah, the uh Woodland Cove might because they're kind of up the hill a little bit, but they're not that tall. Yeah. And it's really hard to avoid putting uh equipment on a roof in this type of facility. Yeah. Um, this is looking north. So, you can see the driveway kind of off into the distance there. That would be us coming in. So, this be looking northeast. Uh, again, the the it's a big wall. It's pretty basic. Uh, but again, we tried to keep finishes to a minimum from a cost standpoint. SP no logo just just plain less attention to a water plan's better though. Yeah, really. It is. I mean, we don't we don't want to draw a lot of attention to, you know, to them as a point of right, you know, we could put the I mean, if you want to, we could put it on there. Will there be a fence? Yes. Yes, you have to. Right. So, where will the how close or where? So, we don't Yeah, we don't have the fence in the rendering, but we can see the cars there. Our plan right now is off of the northwest and northeast corner of the facility, you'll have basically slide gates to get access to the sidewalk around and then the back side of the facility will just be fenced in. So, basically, you can drive right up to the front of the water plant. Um, on there will be a swing gate on the drive-in to prevent people from driving all the way in, but if you get past the swing gate, you can drive right up to the water plant, but then to to get to the back side of the plant, you have to go through the gates. Uh, and then um you can there's the buried clear well out back. So, you can kind of see the hatches there out back. Uh, but for most people, they won't even know it's there. It'll be below grade. So, that's a plus. So you can always tell the people in Woodland Cove, "At least you're not we're looking at a second water tower, right?" See? Yes. Uh and then this is southeast corner water tower right now. Yeah. So this is the other corner of the back of the facility. So again, it's pretty basic. You can see the buried clear or can't see the buried clear well. Um and then the sidewalk around the building. Uh what we don't show here is the generator. So, that large concrete pad kind of in the bottom right corner of the slide, there'll be a generator there. So, it is an exterior generator. Um, it does have a little bit of noise when it's running, but it's about 70 dB, which is essentially truck traffic. Um, which we're right off Highway 7 anyway, so I don't know that anyone would really notice it. And it How far away are you from the nearest home? You're quite a ways. Oh, yeah. If that's on the south side, you are. Yeah. Yeah. And that's another good point is it's on the south southeast side of the building. So the building will block most of that anyways. Uh you're probably 400 I was going to say quite a ways. Yeah. So that was renderings uh costs. So we talked about soliciting estimates from contractors. So we did talk to two different contractors. They looked at it. We received quite a range estimates uh which was not um was frustrating to say the least. Um so Magny Construction both Magny and Rice Lake are well-known contractors in the industry. They will both be bidding this project. They were both very interested in the project. Magny estimated somewhere between 12.7 and 14 million. I really liked their number. Yeah, we we love their numbers. Lake estimated 24 million. So we had a $10 million gap. Wow. Um Wow. at it we they received the 60% set of plans. So, oh, so only finalized. Okay. Um, but it at least gave them enough information to do take off quantities for concrete and pre-cast and things like that, which are the big ticket items. We're estimating somewhere in the $19 million range based on what we know about the project. Um, and based on what I know about both contractors, I think Rice Lake is being very conservative in their number because they know that this these numbers get talked about and it's a low bid project. So, they don't want people to think it's they can get do it cheaper. So, there's a little bit of gamemanship. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I I truly think we're in that $19 million range. Um, we are working. We like 14 better. We like the 14 better. So, Erin, you have to play the game. you have to say, you know, we're really expecting it to come back. Um, so we are we're currently working on the on the 90% estimate this week, so we should know more in the next week or so on where we really think that number is going to be, but that's my estimate right now is about 19 million. Um, and typically recommend holding about two and a half to 3% after your bid for change orders or things that we just discover that we maybe didn't plan for. So um so if we uh kind of taking that recommendation if we use our current 60% estimate that includes a 7 and a half% contingency. So we've brought that contingency down as design has progressed. So that puts us at about 18.7 right now. We'll update that number in the next week or two. My hope is we stay pretty close to that $19 million. You know somewhere between 19 and 20 is probably where we end up. Um and we carry a two and a half% contingency into construction. It's a little less than a half million dollars for change orders and things like that. Uh plus all the other kind of uh costs that we accumulate through this process puts us about 22.3 million uh total project cost. It's going to cost half a million dollars for the SCADA integration. Yeah. So that's that's all of the programming. So that's that's typically in a water plant bid anyways. Um but we're currently working with Gary. So A2S does uh skate programming as well. So that's part of our professional services. We actually do the programming for the water plant. In a typical water plant where the consulting firm maybe doesn't do the programming, that would be actually part of your construction bid. Contractor would hire an integrator to do that. Uh we're a little bit different where we can actually do that programming ourselves. So we'd like to pull that number out just so it's called up. Plus now the Department of Health is requiring that we do asset management of almost everything in water treatment plants. So, the valves, the piping, and all that. So, that'll be included in here, too, because that's going to be a well to do with our existing ones, which they'll help us with. Um, Brendan will be able to take care of a lot of it, but they'll need some help, but that'll include that with this, too. So, so yeah, 22.3 million is our total project cost estimate. And then we do have the kind of the other what I'll call like uh integration costs as far as other you know we've drilled the wells, we put that water mane in Woodland Cove. We need to decommission those wells and we have that potential line down Highway 7 that needs to go in in the future. So we'll add those are additional costs that we need to be mindful of. But for the water plant itself about 22.3 million is the estimated all-in cost. Okay. the direction the piping along Highway 7 when that's like far out in the future, right? Or is that planned for like the same time or probably not too far out, but not like the same year? Maybe maybe next five years. Yeah. So if if we have some additional commercial maybe in in Woodland Cove, we might drive it. Okay. Or in that area. So but I'd say in five years. Okay. Or less. And I had a schedule slide, but pushed to the back. No. All right. Disappeared. So, uh, general schedule. So, we're hoping to wrap up design by the end of June and advertise the project. You first have to bring it back to council. Yes. for a recommendation for award or sorry recommend for request to advertise. Yes. So that'll be coming to you in June. Oh, it will. Yeah. So we plan to have final plans and specs by the end of June. Okay. Well, that's our next meeting is the 16th. We'll bring you advertisement recommendation or recommendation to advertise the project so we can advertise it. Yeah. You want um approval of plans and specs and and going out for advertisement of of Okay. All right. on the 16th. Yes. Okay. All right. All right. Then uh we'll we'll advertise at the end of June. We'll open bids at the end of July and assuming bids come in where we expect them to, we'll move forward with construction in sometime in August. Okay. Yeah. So, we would award I think are potentially award the first meeting in August. August, which is something fourth. fourth. Okay. Um I won't be here. So hopefully bids come in where we want them to be and we can we can award and and move through the process and all right get started. Hopefully I mean the idea would be that they can do footings and some site prep and things like that this fall. Yep. They do underground work for they probably work on concrete all winter. Y so and we estimate about two years for construction. So if we start August time frame, August, September time frame this fall, they'd finish uh it' be fall of 2027. Okay. All right. Questions, comments? At least we're moving forward. Yeah. Yes. Thank you, Erin. Looks great. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Um so next, uh we're moving on to approve a change order for the um two 2025 street improvement project. I believe that's Miss Spelski. That is Thank you, Mayor Councel. Um included in the packet for your consideration tonight is change order one for uh the 2025 street improvement project. Um the first item uh is for some fabric on uh Windridge Trail. So, uh, fabric is used, uh, to to keep silts from, um, pumping into the into the section and for strength. It wasn't something that we found in the pavement cores, which is surprising because right where the two cores were, that's where the construction inspector said they should have hit the the fabric, but they didn't. It's a small item. We estimated it at just over 35, excuse me, 3,400. Um but they actually ended up using um about a third of the quantity that we estimated. So it'll be less than that. Um so that's the first item. Um and then the second item is uh for resurfacing of Williams Lane. Um so throughout the years, council has looked at and supported um doing some overlays just to kind of weather the storm, if you will, for some of these roads that are in poorer condition and we won't be getting to in the next handful of years. Um we did Holstead Lane uh back in 2020. There's a type couple typos in the memo. It was Hunter Trail um that we did from 92 to the to the regional trail and that was last year. And then also there was Morning View Terrace back in 2023. So we've this has been um you know something that the council supported in the past and so we thought since Aztec was in town um if they would be willing to give a price for Williams Lane. So that's just off of H Hallstead there. Uh the pavement condition score is 32. So it's in it's in poor condition. Um but it's not on the radar radar for a capital improvement plan uh capital improvement project. Um it doesn't have water mane in it with the condition of the road. Um you know you'd expect to see a water man extension street reconstruction project. So we're a ways staff anticipates a ways out on that project. So, um, we, like I said, we asked Aztec, the contractor for this year's project, to get a price. And so, they did provide us a price of just over $36,000 to overlay Williams Lane. Um, but they also talked to us about this ultra thin bonded workhorse. Um, it's it's similar to an overlay, but there's a polymer. Um, so it's something in the in the mix that they that they use. Um it's it's a they've had success with it. Um they talked to both Gary and I about it. U we thought this would be a good candidate to try it out. It's you know it's a cheaper product um to put in place and and we can provide residents of Williams Lane with a better driving surface for a period of time until it's it's time to go and reconstruct that road. So we included it with this uh with this change order. Um, and I'd be happy to answer any questions that the council may have about the proposed change order. How's the drainage on Williams? That's got a ditch on the one side as it comes in, goes to the culvert through there. So, we we've never had any issue with that. My question though, so this would be kind of a pilot program if you will, but does it have enough traffic on it to even warrant the pilot? you know, will will you be able to traffic, but it'll be interesting to see the freeze thought. It's the same thing they usually sit on Highway 7 when they redid that. So, basically, the way it was described, they he he want he loves selling the product. He thinks it's a great product. He says they hate putting down because it is such a timeconuming hard product to put down. And the way he understood it was, you know, most pavers when you pave, you want a 2in surface. So, you start with two and a half inches and you have tilt your the the you know, as the paver's going, it flattens it out for you. This actually is is put down flat and has a almost like a um the way he described it was almost like a pounding system that actually pounds it in. So, as it's going over cracks and stuff, it's helping to fill that in too. So, you get a lot better wear. They have a lot less reflective cracking. It'll come through, but it takes a lot longer. Um and it's just a real sticky gooey substance that goes down beautifully. And they and they've had great success with it. So, and so then it has to dry or cure. I mean, like it's like anything else with pavement. I think I think they kind of roll it and that's it, you know. I mean, then it's, you know, I mean, it's not like, you know, yeah, like super wet or anything, but it's like pavement. So, from what we've, from the what we've looked at and stuff and what they sent, I mean, it looks like it's a heck of a product. So, I mean, it could be, you know, and like you say, we've had great success with this. We started with Wildwood way back in I want to say 20 20 or no 2016. We started doing that first stretch and it's been great. So I mean we're really we've gotten good success out of doing these temporary milling overlays to extend life. So right you know I mean it's this will help here. I mean we've done you know so many of them now just to help extend it. So now maybe we can take a a rest period between getting a lot of projects and really start saving up the money to get them done. So okay, this is another one I think it'll be interesting to see how this wears and how it holds up. So So the my only question is um do we have the money in our road fund 30 an extra 36,000? Okay. 278. Well, yeah, the total is Yeah, correct. Thank you. Okay. Um Okay. Any other questions then? All right. Anything else? Otherwise, um, is there a motion to approve change order one for our 2025 street improvement projects, which is project city project number 01-25? So moved. Thank you, Miss Refkin. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Mr. P. Peter, Mr. Pickery. I need to look at your. Um, all those in favor signify with I. I. I. All those opposed. Motion passes. 5. So, we'll move on to um our next item, which is approve our public safety training center quotes. Madame Mayor, members of city council, uh we've uh gotten to the end of the quote gathering process for the public safety training center that we talked about, I think back in March. Um again, that is to do some con construction work um in that vacant space that's kind of been storage, right? or it's well it's the it's the gun you know the former gun range I guess we'll call it but um we're utilizing the space um for uh an advanced training system Milo which will come after this um this is just for the construction work so the partition wall some of the finishing work in the um in the Milo area some HVAC and electrical work and then a basically a garage door to get access to the storage area from the um the parking garage. So, uh, we've gotten two quotes from them. Uh, one from DDK Construction and, uh, another one from Villimill Construction. The DDK came in at just, uh, just over $139,000, which is essentially what they said, um, it was going to be beforehand. Uh, and then the other one from Villa Construction, who's in Minitrista here, was at 179. The proposed funding for this, which I didn't indicate in here, but we kind of talked about before, was to utilize some of the public or all of the public safety grant money that we received in 2023, that balance is 116,000. So, not quite enough to to cover this. Um, what we propose is to to do this and and then when we do the the Milo or Milo system, um, whatever that difference is, I think it it'd be, you know, almost $20,000. um we would just add that to the equipment certificate and and do that at that point in time. So that'll come at a later time. Um we'll have to consider that. Um you'll have to make a decision as as a city council if we want to do that this year or next year. It does time out well with the the water treatment plant and and and selling that bond that we can do an equipment certificate at that time for the Milo system and the the remaining balance of the construction. So, what we're recommending tonight is to proceed um direct me to enter into an agreement uh with DDK Construction in the amount of $139,350 uh to get that work done. Um likely completed this summer. It's a it's not a huge project, but we'd have to get it on their schedule and then they'd have to to complete it. Questions? Entertain any questions. Yes. And can you say those numbers again? We have how much already given to us in 116,000. We have 116,000. Um the the bid quote for this was 139. So that's 23,000 difference which we would add on to the um equipment certificate for the Milo system. Um do we know how much the Milo system is going to be? It's right at about 100,000 I believe. Okay. So we need an equipment certificate for 123 for for everything over there. And we most likely will need have some of our other equipment purchases as we get through the budget process in the fall here. So, I mean, it could be a certificate of we'll have just, you know, see how they'll bring it to council and stuff. You know, what what the uh obviously department heads have for their requests and stuff, but um yeah, it could be three $400,000 maybe total certificate depending on. Right. No, I Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I was just saying for the policeific or whatever. I just want to make sure that we understand what the Milo system is going to cost because I don't want, you know, I don't want to move forward with this and then the council says, "Oh, the Milo is too expensive." So, just so you know, um it's about a h 100,000 give or take and we'll have have to add another 23,000 that we'll be doing an equipment certificate for. As Brian said, adding it to the other equipment, the estimated total project cost for everything is about $250,000. Um we have, you $10,000 for um storage shelves and things like that for the storage area so that we can actually organize and store things in that space. Can we get any money from the crime prevention? That's what I asked. I asked that, too. So, we we did, but not not for this. Um Craig requested I don't know if you want to give a little update on what you requested and what they've um kind of allocated for us. Yeah. Uh thank you uh mayor members of council. So we were in desperate need of a ballistic shield that's rifle rated. So god forbid we got hit by a rifle round. Um and they're pretty expensive. So um the crime fund actually agreed to pay for it. But then we uh looked at some federal grants. And right now we're waiting to see if we're going to get a federal grant for that. Um if we do, then my idea would be to go to the crime fund and see if we could use that money for drones. Um just because that's something that I think we could really use, especially with the wooded areas out here. Um we could certainly also ask the crown fund for additional monies for Milo. Um, I just not sure how much of a dent they'll put in, you know, with that kind of They have money. They They have They have quite a bit. Y, so they could help out. So, we'll ask we'll we'll kind of ask very nicely. And Yeah. Okay. How much are the ballistic shields? Uh, this one was around8,500. Yeah. They're they're pretty expensive. Yeah. And are you just getting one? Just one. Okay. Yep. Yep. And then that that will always stay in that's always in a squad that's on the road. So if somebody comes in for the night and day shift comes in then we switch it in the trunk. So it's it's always out there. Okay. Well, yeah. They should be able to help $8,500. I agree. Yeah. It and you know I've gotten on to them about having the golf event on a city council night because otherwise other people could participate. But I know Craig. Craig I think will be the only one from the city there. Maybe some other officers potentially. I know you participated last year, didn't you, Miss Lacy? Second. Yeah. And it was raining. Pouring rain. So um are you participating again? I I have to be here. Okay. So maybe I think I could win this year. Yes, you you might be able to. So maybe share that with them that maybe a Tuesday night would be better. I will. All right. I think it's the golf clubs are closed on Mondays. Oh. Oh, okay. That's the reason. All right. Well, maybe we'll change our meeting next year. Or they could do it on the second Monday. Yeah, there you go. Second Monday. All right. Yeah. All right. So, um, any other questions regarding this item? Are we then in favor of um providing or giving instructions to enter into an agreement with uh DDK construction for the amount of 139350 for the um finishing off of the Milo space space? We'll call it the Milo space now. We used to call it the gun space but Milo sounds better. Yeah, Milo is easier. All right. So, thank you Mr. Vicky. Is there a second? Second. Thank you, Mr. Govern. Any further questions? Hearing none. All those in favor signify with I. I. I. All those opposed. Motion passes. 50. So, we'll move on to uh staff reports. Madame Mayor, the only thing I have is uh the bus tour is tomorrow night and I believe it's sold out. So, it should be I think the the poor weather is move has moved through. Maybe we'll get another round, but I think tomorrow night it should be nice. A little bit cooler. And it's And we depart at 5. Sorry, just my water. 5:30. 5:30. So, people should arrive between 5:00 and 5:30. Boarding will start about 5:15. So, um I I somebody asked me that and I said, "Well, all I know is they can't leave without me." All right. I don't think so. and we'll we will have fun and um a light supper is provided. So um any other and then do we need somebody for June planning commission meeting? We do. What day is that? The 27th. No, the 23rd. 30th. Well, 23rd. 23rd. 23rd. Yep. I might be able to do it. What? Okay. Um put me down. I'll see if I can I think I think um we have we for sure have one agenda item regarding the Holstead. um oh development. Okay. All right. Otherwise, I can do it if you so either me or or Kathleen. Okay. Keep you posted. All right. Um any other staff reports then? Uh council reports. We'll start with Brian. Anything? Uh I did attend the last planning commission. Um the only agenda item was tabled so nothing to really report. It went quite quickly. Well, thank you for taking your time. But that does remind me when are we going to bring back um the ordinance changing the park uh commission um meetings? I know David's working on that um potentially as early as the next meeting. Okay, that I think that was just a great idea. So um Okay. And then um any Okay, Peter. Nothing. So, um, our next fire commission meeting will be on the 17th and we're going to be talking again formula and we'll see where that goes. We've we've met and we've talked and uh we know what we think would be best for everyone, not just for Minatrista, but for everyone. Um, and uh we're just hoping that the other players will play. So, we'll see. I have another meeting tomorrow with Okay. of mound and St. Bonnie. Okay. So, we will continue talking. And then I just have another question. I know you mentioned something about possibly being able to do the water tower next year. Is there are we moving in that direction? Okay. I can give a little update on that. So, so A2S will likely be providing a task order to do some modeling and um maybe some it'll be eventually some cost estimating of the interconnects with St. Bonnie. If we can get that dialed in and potentially do that work this late summer, fall, um then we can likely do the water tower next spring. Okay. Because St. Bonnie is agreeable where we could kind of work out a deal. Um I think so. I I have that plan, you know. Yeah. Um, we we might talk about there's a piece of property that St. Bonnie is interested in maybe annexing of of miniature. Everybody would have to I mean we'd have to agree to it, but um we could get more into that if that actually we'll keep you posted. Yeah, we'll keep you posted. It's it's a it's a parcel on Highway 7 kind of right at the 7 and 92 intersection. Surrounded by St. Bonnie. Yeah, but it's Minatrista one across from St. Bonnie Liquors. um a little bit farther to the west, but right on right on the intersection of uh 7 and 92 on the southeast corner. And Mayor Iser has asked if we're interested in giving it to them and I said, "Well, we might be able to work out a deal." So, um we're going to work on that cuz we have that property. I have no idea. Okay. No idea. Okay. That was before my time. Not everything is if everything works out, we'll be able to this fall consider um advertising for bid to do the water tower rehab. And I just wanted to since you brought, you know, you mentioned that and I just thought, oh, we should just mention kind of what we're thinking. Um again, this isn't just in the very very beginning stages of um what we're thinking we might be able to do. So um that'll be coming forward for more discussion. So, um, and then I'll be going to the Northwest League next, uh, let's see, Wednesday the 11th or whatever. And then we have our we have our mediation on the 12th. So, we'll I think we kind of understand where we're all where you're all coming from. So, we will do our very very best. So, other than that, I think we're we're done. Motion to adjurnn. So moved. Thank you, Miss Revkin. Is there a second? Second, Miss Lacy. All those in favor signify with. All those opposed. Guess what? Motion passes 50. I can't imagine why. I want to know who votes against adjourning the meeting. I don't think it would really matter even if you We have to do it once, don't we? I got
