Welcome to the Rosemont City Council regular meeting for Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. Please rise and join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. [1:48] All right. Is there any additions or corrections to the agenda? No, sir. Seeing none, I'll move the agenda. Is there a second? Second. Motion been made. On the agenda, all in favor signify by saying I. I. Opposed? We have an agenda. First items up this evening are the presentations, proclamations, and acknowledgements. And I'm going to take the mayor's prerogative to insert before the oath of office here for our police sergeant uh a recognition for what's been termed the three amigos. If you guys could just stand forward in front so that everybody could see these three project managers pulled off a successful stand in front please. Stand in front. [2:32] Chief public works. There were no changes to the agenda. There were no We just want to publicly recognize a a fantastic successful event of the police department and public works uh ribbon cutting and opening. We had a very nice wellattended uh from city residents. And on behalf of city council, we just wanted to give you a a public affirmation for um leading leading the charge to get that building done. And then also the actual event was very well done with the staff and kudos out to the rest of the staff that helped participate in that. So again, thank you very much. [3:24] So with that, we'll move to the actual first item 3A, the oath of office and police sergeant promotion. Chief Dalstrom please. [3:45] All right. Thank you, mayor, members of the council. Uh, I I should say, and I think this was had it not been 80 some degrees out there on Sunday, uh, we were told to keep our speeches short, but one of the things that we we Nick and I both wanted to hit on more and Logan, too, was just that the we couldn't have done that grand opening without the staff. [4:03] it's an extra day in on their days off. Um, and a lot of that planning in the building on our side was was an attestment to attestament to them. So, I can say on the on the police side, we had a fitness committee. Well, we started off with committees touring buildings. We toured five to 10 different facilities. We had a fitness committee that put together that nice fitness center. Uh, we had a crime scene group that did that. We had a firearms range group that did that. And uh really that building is truly um an accompl an accomplishment of all of us, not just the the three project managers, but so I just want to make sure that we we acknowledge that on the on the front end. So I really appreciate all of you that were there on Sunday helping out. [4:41] Um so many different compliments from the public. I I think so much social capital was built at that event. It was in my 20-year career that was one of the top. So thank you for all that. We are here tonight to celebrate uh a promotion of our newest sergeant. And I'm proud to be up here doing this. We've we've seen Kevin Tapper um born and raised in Rosemont. He's a proud graduate of Rosemont High School. And following high school, he went to down to Florida and actually joined the Hillsboro County Sheriff's Office in Tampa. So at that time I was in investigations and and had the uh the pleasure of going down to do his background when he applied to Rosemount. He had worked down in Hillsboro County for four years as a patrol officer. Uh had several was very [5:27] successful down there receiving um an eagle-eye award um amongst other department awards and merit. So, I remember when I flew down in 2012, I want to say it was, um, I didn't realize how big Hillsboro County was, and I thought I'd surprise his partners and drive across the county right after getting, uh, getting off a midnight flight and was there at his precinct till the wee wee hours of the morning talking to his partners. He was off duty that night. And right away, I knew we had someone special. um you're always a little bit leerary that you're hiring someone from another agency or out of state and um they had nothing but positive things to say about Kevin as a as a teammate and uh his supervisors were very sad to see him leave but the reason made sense he wanted to come home to Rosemount so um I I skipped a little [6:15] bit of the part immediately following Rosemont High School he went down to Minnesota State University Mano where he got a bachelor's of science in uh law enforcement so when he came back to Rosemont he was then on patrol for six years. Five of those years, he also served as a field training officer. And our field training officer program, you've heard me talk about that many, many times. It's while it's not an official leadership position, it really is a leadership position that's so vital to the growth and development of our staff. We're growing so rapidly in Rosemont that we need some of our best people to be our FTO's uh to make sure that we develop our newest staff the right way. [6:47] Um so we held patrol here for six years and was also um then decided to join what they now coin the detective bureau. We we we've changed to a bureau ever since deputy chief Thomas came on board and he successfully investigated a wider range of cases while in um while in his role in the in the bureau. Um, some of the cases I I I reached out to Sean McMen who was the sergeant at the time of investigations and he told me about a couple different cases that uh once he started talking about it came to light. [7:16] You know, we investigate a lot of things, but one that stuck out was um we had a victim of identity theft here in Rosemount and someone had stolen their identity and then purchased a brand new vehicle from a from a large dealership upwards of a 80 to $85,000 car um or or vehicle is what I heard it was. and they were able to drive the vehicle off the lot and disappeared. So Kevin got on the case and after several weeks, maybe months, I'm not sure quite how long it was. It was quite a while, tracked the suspect down to Las Vegas and started working with the Las Vegas Metro PD and during that case successfully identified the suspect. Um, rumor has it that maybe while on a personal vacation, he decided to do some surveillance while off duty. [8:00] Um, so just showing his dedication that even when he's on vacation, he's willing to do some work. So, long story short, that individual was arrested and had a plethora of other charges from the Metro Las Vegas uh, police department. He got a successful um, uh, warrant signed nationally like for national exec or extradition. So, they would bring um, that individual back to Minnesota if and when they got out of um, custody in Nevada. So, um, that's just one example. [8:29] Well, he's been known for his work with IAC, Internet Crimes Against Children. Um, they now call it CESAM, child sexual abuse material. We get some of these tips that come through and Kevin was one of the individuals that as a detective would would go after those full boore, gather the evidence needed, do search warrants, uh, collect things properly, get confessions, that kind of stuff, and hold those people accountable. Uh just a couple more because I think it just shows his overall work ethic and the type of um leader that he's that he has been and he's going to continue to be is when he's given an assignment, he doesn't he doesn't uh he doesn't stop until he follows through. So um Sergeant McMen also reported a case that involved a female who was caught attempting to cash for checks in Rosemount. It was apparent from the start that the [9:15] involvement in identity theft and forgery crimes uh spread much beyond the borders of Rosemount. Many hours of sifting through financial records, evidence files, and notebooks seized from the perpetrator, Detective Tapper was able to determine they were in possession of over 250 individuals personal information to include names, date of birth addresses, DL numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, employment information, and annual income. uh painstakingly attempted to contact all of these people, many of which were um unaware that their information was even in the possession of an identity uh thief. So, um that case he wrote, I I want to say uh a dozen very a dozen different supplemental reports, search warrants, very well documented, and and handled the case over for prosecution of the county attorney. So, um, we saw the, uh, [10:02] Deputy Chief Thomas mentioned this as well, but just over the last several years, you know, he's an individual that we've just seen so much professional growth leading up to his promotion in the middle of 2024. Uh, he's willing to do things outside of the norm. A lot of the supplemental positions like um he was the president of the patrol union for four years and did an excellent job there making it more of a liazison role versus an antagonistic type role. easy to have conversations with and I know that um administrator Martin reported that as well. He's been a use of force instructor since 2022 and firearms instructor. He was our alcohol and tobacco compliance officer during some of those times where we had repeat offenses that we had to hold accountable. Uh he's been on the city's wellness committee. So he understands some of that organizational savvy and how uh the city functions as a whole and [10:48] it's not just the police department sometimes. So he does a good job outreach there. Crime scene team, rapintraint instructor. So, um, in his time here at Rose Mount, he's he's earned a couple life-saving awards, couple awards of merit and, uh, just personally, he's one of the people that, you know, in a department our size, the sergeant role is so important because we aren't, you know, a huge organization. [11:11] We've got, you call it 35 to 40 individuals. And so, that sergeant is relied upon to do a lot of different things. Pretty evident here. You can see how many people are in this room. He's very well accepted by staff. Um, and that's because he's a trusted leader. So, um, more recently, the the project that you see driving around town that he helped lead was a squad design. He was the head of that committee. We're very proud of that design along with the patch that we're wearing here today. Um, and without further ado, I just want to congratulate Kevin on your promotion. [11:40] And let's give him a round of [11:49] applause. So, with that, can we administer the oath of office? Thank you. [12:11] [Music] support duties. Sergeant City of Rosemont. City of Rosemont. [12:29] That's [Applause] [12:58] Oh All [13:07] [Laughter] [13:15] right. Yeah. Grab a couple quick. While he's grabbing some photos here, I I told him I wouldn't give this analogy, but he doesn't know what it is. So, it it it proves the type of family man that he is. So Kevin's a big fisherman. Um, and we we've we've talked fishing for many many years and and last year I asked him, "So, have you been out yet?" And I think you used your boat one time last year. Not at all. Not at all. There you go. So, he's a uh he's dedicated to family and work. And someday we hope to get him back in the boat. [13:56] So, thank you all for coming. really appreciate you guys taking time to do a lot. Awesome. Thank you. I love the cake. [14:11] And if you'd like to go back to the PD, we're going to have uh cake and ice cream and water back at the new training site. So, thank you. Thank you. Thanks, guys. There's enough water left from Sunday. We stole all that water. [14:29] Congrats you. Thank you. Congratulations. Congrats, Kevin. [14:40] All the strollers. Oh, yeah. All the strollers. Those are the new high tech ones. They even have them like that when I was going to say I didn't even have that right? [14:56] All right, that'll be completing item 3A. We'll move on to 3B of 4 presentation this evening. Uh we have the opportunity of having Dylan Tate, a 4 member here in Dakota County. Uh he'll be giving a U presentation on the 4 key award. This key award is based on leadership experience community involvement, and service to the community. The application process includes uh an interview selection and the presentations are done at the county. Um this is of particular interest to me. Um being a fourth gener I I believe I got a fifth generation now 4H family uh that I'm a part of. And [15:44] what's particularly nice about this too is uh Dakota County is recognized as uh one of if not the uh largest 4H uh community county in the uh state of Minnesota. So being recognized like this is is a big deal. This is on the same par as uh the go the girls scouts gold award, the boy scouts eagle scout award and near and dear to me as a former key award aer winner 4. So Dylan welcome. [16:15] Absolutely. I appreciate the honor being here tonight everyone. Um be but before I begin, I do want to mention that um I was talking to to uh Miss Clump here and and and we were talking about graduation, the overall graduation process. And I would just like to extend my my uh extreme gratitude for all for the work you do here. You know, seeing that sergeant, you know, being sworn in tonight was was in almost, you know, I'm not a crying guy, but it was it was very moving to me. Um because it it embodies truly what Rosemount is. Rosemont in itself is a team community. Whether it be the the the council members up here, you know, going over the logistical hurdles. I mean, my dad and I were sitting here talk hearing you guys talk about, you know, the the finances and all that jazz. Uh to to, you know, the individual families here. Uh, I had one of the best childhoods that you can ever [17:01] ask for from one of the the best men I've ever seen in my life by my father who's sitting right there who has given me the the the the courage what it means to be a man today and to the will to to create it own family and and and bring truly honor not only to the city but also to this world and nation uh and whether it be the men and women who out who are protecting us making Rosemont a safe city to walk down. Truly, it's been an awesome 18 years going on 19 actually this summer to to live in this fabulous city and I and I'm incredibly grateful uh to to wear the Rosemount badge and I intend to bring an honor in the future. [17:33] Uh but going on to my actual speech here tonight. Um first and foremost, again, it's an incredible honor to stand here before you all tonight as a recipient of the 4 key award. Uh it is the highest distinction a 4 member can ever earn and I am deeply grateful for this recognition. Now before I begin, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the mayor tonight for even giving me this opportunity to speak. Uh I being recognized by the very city that has played such a pivotal role in my life is I can't express it. It's beyond words to I mean I'm trying obviously through speaking but it truly is beyond words. [18:06] Um you know when I first got involved in for it was through the dairy project which is kind of the dairy showing if you ever seen it. It's pretty cool honestly. Um I didn't grow up knowing everything about cows. I mean, that's probably a would be a good guess if you guess, you know, the sweater vest here. Probably not the biggest cow, probably not the biggest cow guy, but I mean, my I learned nonetheless. Uh, but my mom my mom and aunt, both of whom unfortunately can't make it tonight. Uh, who both had experience, stepped in and helped me learn. Um, they were the ones who sit next to me in the barn at 5:00 in the morning, who taught me how to clip, lead, and care for my animals when pa with patience and pride. And while I got to walk in the show ring by myself, ultimately it was us three walking in there together. Furthermore, through these early experiences, for has taught me what responsibility looks like. It's not just about doing the work, but showing up for others, being [18:51] accountable, and taking pride in every step of the way. That lesson followed me far beyond the barn. It gave me the confidence to take on challenges in the world of science and technology. Eventually working alongside uh researchers from Harvard and MIT on quantum computing projects, research that has since been used and developed by the US Department of Defense. Well, I learned that in 4 made me believe I belong in these rooms. That curiosity, commitment, and character mattered no matter where you came from. However, 4 also taught me that leadership is about thinking beyond yourself. As president of my 4 club back in the day, I saw firsthand how powerful it is to create spaces for others to grow. That's what inspired me to found two clubs at my own high school. Speak up for STEM where students explore scientific communication and science the mind, a club focused on neuroscience. [19:38] These club have helped me help help bring students to start their own journeys just like 4 has helped start mine. Now to me for is ultimately about transformation. What once started with a calf and a county affair and and a dream somehow turned into a career path, a sense of purpose and a passion for lifting others up. I thank my mom and my aunt for being there in the barn with me. Thank you to my club, my leaders, and this amazing program for lighting a fire in me that I didn't know was there. [20:04] Because of 4, I'm ready not just to lead, but also to serve and to keep thinking beyond myself. As I embark on the next four years at the University of Minnesota, go Gophers. Uh I carry with me these values and lessons and spirit of this program and of the Rosemont community that has raised me since I was born. From our strong agricultural roots to our commitment to educational and civic leadership, Rosemont has always taught me that we are more than a hometown. We are ultimately a foundation of each other. I intend to bring honor to both 4 and the city, not just through my achievements, but to by by continuing to represent what it means to lead with integrity, curiosity, and purpose. Thank you to the mayor, the city of Rosemount, friends and family, and for believing in me and for shaping the person I'm proud to be today. God bless you all and have [20:50] a good night. [20:57] Thank you, Dylan. uh certainly have put the learn by doing and making your best better certainly. Uh could you share uh what your uh future plans are? Absolutely. Do you want me to go back? Yeah, if you would. It's recorded there. I probably should have mentioned that part. So, um I'm currently on a a full ride scholarship to the U of M and I'm trying to become a neurosurgeon. So, lot lot of school, got steady hands. [21:23] Hopefully, you know, hopefully Alzheimer's doesn't hit me or or Parkinson's or whatever one it is. But uh I I'm I'm very excited and I know I've I've been here in Rosemont for almost 19 now 19 years now and I got a lot to pay you all back for and I intend to prove you all uh correct on that bargain. So that's what I intend to do. [21:40] So yeah. Awesome. Appreciate Fun fact. Uh Dylan's um persuasive skills date all the way back to kindergarten. I seem to remember one night getting a text from your mother and you had successfully lobbyed for Subway for school lunch the next day. [21:57] Yep. So, not just for yourself, but for my son, too. So, it's nice to see you put your skills to good work uh as the years evolved. So, thanks, Dylan. Thank you all. Mayor, if I could, would you like a photo or would the council like a photo would like a photo here with this? [22:12] Absolutely. Good call. Thank you. I didn't. It's good. It's good. [22:51] Perfect. Congratulations. [22:59] Thank you for No, thanks for bringing up. No, no, you were late. I was like, it was the right show. I froze. I froze in the moment. That's right. [23:14] Too many hours yesterday. uh before completing 3B. It's just a testament to the youth that we have in our community. Um and I just wanted I know we have two parents of high school graduates. How many graduated this? 618. [23:33] 618 youth taking on the world. So yeah, um I think we're going to be in good hands as we move forward with kids like this. Yeah, for sure. So that completes 3B. We'll move on to 3C, the Small Cities Month Proclamation. Mr. Mark Thanks, mayor, members of the council. A a good proclamation for the council to read tonight as June is small cities month um in the nation and our partners at the National League of City Cities um really drive this movement each June just to shine a light on what small cities do across the country and and as you'll see as the council reads the proclamation they define small cities as cities under 50,000. So, um the importance of that that's a vast majority of cities in America and the work that they do uh to bring us all a high quality of life. So, mayor, I'll let you all read the [24:19] proclamation. All right. And with that, we will do first the proclamation and then I believe there's a motion uh accepting that. So, go ahead and start. Uh whereas small cities and towns under 50,000 population are the home to millions of Americans and constitute the vast majority of mun municipalities across the United States. And whereas small cities and towns strive to strengthen their communities through the provision of services and programs to improve the quality of life for all citizens. And whereas the federal government is an essential partner in the success of small cities and towns and must be encouraged to continue to support programs and legislation that [25:04] strengthen small communities. And whereas state governments are partners in the success of small cities and towns and must be encouraged to continue to support key programs and legislation that strengthens communities. And whereas organizations, businesses, and citizens are partners in the success of small cities and towns and must be encouraged to continue to grow their efforts to make small communities a viable choice for people to live in. And whereas during these challenging economic times, the need for renewed intergovernmental partnership to support essential public services is more important than ever to ensure the safety and growth of small town America. And whereas the National League of Cities [25:50] President and the Small Cities Council of the National League of Cities have declared June 2025 as small cities month. Now therefore, I Jeffrey D. Wise and cell mayor of Rosemont, Minnesota, do hereby proclaim June 2025 as small cities month in the city of Rosemont and encourage organizations, businesses, and all citizens to recognize this event and to work together this month and throughout the year to invest in small cities and towns to better the lives of all citizens dated this June 3rd, 2025. [26:25] With that, I'll move the motion to proclaim the June 2025 as small cities month in the city of Rosemont as read. Second. I have a second by Freski. Roll please. Escler I. Limple. I. Wisenel. I. [26:41] Tyson. I. Resky. I. And that passes 5 and completes 3C. Thank you. With that, we'll move on to item four. response to public comment. I understand we do not have anything this evening to respond to. And then we'll move to item five, public comment. Any individuals uh wishing to address the council on subjects that are not part of the meeting agenda may do so at this time. [27:11] Uh we typically do not respond to these during the uh meeting, but will respond in a letter, phone call, or staff followup over the uh next week or so. So, if there is someone that wishes to speak may do so at this time, come forward, state your name and address at the podium. The floor is [27:38] open. Anyone? Seeing no one making a move to the podium, we will close public comment and move on to the consent agenda. We have six uh item six. We have this evening bills listing minutes of the May 20th regular meeting minutes for council performance measure program program required by the state. The cost share agreement with Dakota County on voting equipment. Liquor license renewals for quick trip and top 10 liquors. the interfund loan for the purchase of 14515 Dodd Boulevard, formerly known as the Speedway Gas Station, and acceptance of donation of equipment for the fire department indicated uh a value of [28:28] $11,200. Anyone wish to pull any items? No. For further discussion or comment? No. Seeing none, someone like to move item 6 A through G for approval. So moved. Second. I have a motion by Tyson, second by Climple. Roll please. [28:47] Climpmple. I Wisel. Hi. Tyson. I Rusky. Hi. Esler. I. Consent agenda is approved. 50. And that completes item six. We'll move to item seven, public hearings, which we have none this evening. Item eight, unfinished business, which we have none. [29:06] And start. And now to item nine, new business, playground proposals, Delara Park. Mr. Schultz. Thank you, Mr. Mayor and Council members. I was looking back to see if Dylan was still here to see if you wanted to help me with my presentation. It's quite the quite the speaker. Um, Mr. Mr. Mayor and council members, um as part of our long-term maintenance capital improvement plan, we have funding in the budget this year for the equipment replacement at Delera Park. Um that equipment was installed back in 2001, and that's about the standard life of playground equipment, uh you know, with average amounts of use and uh wear and tear from from kids playing on it and the weather. Uh it's being outside [29:53] all the time. Uh we put together a a request for a proposal and sent that out to the playground firms uh in the Twin Cities metro area. Uh we had the RFP that included the direction to the the groups as to what kind of equipment we were looking for as far as what age categories to meet and any specific types of things we wanted to have in the projects. It also identified a cap of $80,000 for the equipment itself. And so all of the playground vendors work off that number. They then prepare a a proposal based on the RFP and they get to propose one option for us to consider. Uh we received six uh different uh proposals that are in your packet for you to review. Uh we also had [30:40] a neighborhood open house where we let the uh neighbors take a look at the proposals and we also had those all available online. Just to kind of give you an idea if you've never been to one of the open houses, we put proposals like this out on reader boards and then we let folks come in and take a look at them. So this is one of them from landscape structures. The one that's being recommended for approval tonight is from Little Tikes. And as you can see, um these were just the uh the items that were identified by uh by a sticky note from our park commission and our youth commission as their top choice for playground equipment. Um this is the same firm that installed playground [31:25] equipment last year at Campfield Park. U they did a nice job with that playground and so we're we're happy to make that recommendation tonight. Um like I mentioned we also had our youth commission review the the proposals and then we also had our parks and natural resources commission review the proposals and the top uh choice uh by the groups was uh for the city to purchase uh equipment from uh Northland Recreation Little Tikes. Um right now if this project moves forward tonight, we tentatively plan to remove the equipment in early September when school's back in session. Uh what we do is we work with uh there's a couple different companies in the Twin Cities that will uh remove the equipment at no cost and then [32:10] recycle it in a reuse type situation. One of the groups is called Kids Around the World where they'll refurbish this equipment and then they'll send it uh to another country, uh maybe the little, you know, le less fortunate than we might be. Um and it'll be reused um and they they raise funds that cover those costs so it's not a cost to the city. [32:30] The new equipment then should be installed in uh early October, so there won't be that much of a downtime. Um and plus with the kids in school, there's just less activity on the site. And so with that, um, based on the review by the the city's commissions and the input we received from the neighborhood, uh, residents, staff is recommending that the city purchase playground equipment for Delera Park from Northland Recreation and Little Tikes. And with that, I can stand here for questions. [33:01] Floor is open for any questions from council. No, no here. Nope. Everybody likes it. Yep. Um, so with that, uh, we'd like to move the recommended motion. I'll make a motion to purchase playground equipment for the Delera Park from Northland Recreation, Little Tikes. [33:18] Second. Have a motion by Freski. Second by Esler. Roll, please. Wesil. I. Tyson, I. Fres. Esser. I, Limple. I. That completes item 9A with a 50-0 vote in the affirmative. [33:36] We'll move on to announcements. Item 10, city staff updates. Mr. Martin. Uh, thanks, mayor, members of the council. Just I wanted to flag two things uh off the consent agenda just because they're worthy of a call out. First, um really cool to get the uh the equipment donated to the fire department. And wanted to shout out Chief Springer for curating a relationship with a vendor there that was looking to offset some uh previous equipment used at at vendor shows. and it's it's brand new good equipment that we can uh invest into our fire station. [34:06] So, really cool opportunity there and appreciate the vendor for the donation and chief for for curating that relationship and making that across the finish line and and then also the uh the inner fun alone is something that folks may not fully understand what that means, but that means that the city is one step closer to being the proud owners of the former Super America uh out there on 145th. And so we did a staff walkth through uh of the site this week and it's looking like an abandoned gas station, which is what it's supposed to look like inside, but uh doing the the work to get ready for for demolition uh if we were able to close on that property here in the next week, which nothing should hold us back at this point from closing um in the near term here, which is a pretty pretty exciting thing for the city. So, could you share a little bit of the extended schedule of where we're going to be uh with that [34:52] site before Leprechaun Days? If assuming if the community development department can deliver, we expect uh I'm kidding. Uh we we expect to have it demolished in time for leprechaun days. Okay. Uh so it should have a nice clear half grass grally kind of site but a a much prettier site uh for leprechaun days uh than it has been in the past. So um it should be uh a blight removed from the community within the within the next month and a half here. Randy, I think uh comms and recck director Schultz has a a followup here too, mayor. Yes, Mr. [35:24] Mayor, council members, just one more item to keep in mind. Uh, next Tuesday, June 10th. Mayor, you were maybe going to mention this is the Patriots in the Park event, uh, 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This is being sponsored by, uh, Rose Mount Yellow Ribbon. Uh they will have food trucks, beer tent, family activities, live music, free raffle prizes, live bands on the stage, and they will have uh free food and beverage vouchers for the first 900 uh veterans that do attend the event. So, just something we've been working with them on. I know they were here a couple weeks ago to give an update, but they asked me just to plug it one more time. Um so, doing that for them. Okay. And since you're up there, do you want to plug the first item on my list? What's the first item? June 12th, Central Park. Yes, [36:11] that's another item that had uh we were going to be having a openhouse uh type meeting. Uh it's actually a meeting where we're going to review the plan, concept plans for what the future of Central Park could look like. We've been working with uh some design architects to come up with some renderings of what uh the future of that park could be. We just want to get some uh public input on what people feel about those plans. [36:40] Nothing's set in stone at this point. It's just to gather information. Uh we'll continue then to take that information and work with our architects to to make updates and maybe some changes, some enhancements, and then we'll get back with the public again and move forward on that process. That's going to be 6:30 6:30 uh to uh Thursday at the Rosemont Steepo Center. there. Room 200. [37:05] Room 200. Thank you. All right. And so with those two, I only have to talk about our next time we're getting together. Port authorities, June 17th from 6 to 7. And the next city council meeting is on June 17th from 7 to 8:00 p.m. Uh, and just a little bit beyond that, City Hall will be closed for Junth, celebrated on June 19th all day. [37:31] I believe that's a Thursday. So with that, is there any other business? Oh, I know there was someone else that wanted to chat. You want to share? We either one of you. Well, you have a specific one, but Well, we just um both uh uh Councilman uh Climple and I both have seniors that graduate from Rosemont High School this weekend. And uh it was a great celebration downtown Minneapolis at Mary Arena. But most recently before that, uh they do the u yearly walkthrough where the seniors walk through uh the middle school. Um Logan was there and and um my wife and I were there. Were you there? I was at the middle school. Oh, you were? I missed in the hallway. I I just think it's one of the great it's one of the great traditions. I was talking to Eric Hansen who's in charge of secondary education [38:16] for 196 and he said that he and um uh principal Booty back in 10 years ago implemented this and it's one of the coolest things that I to see to see all the seniors come through and see all the the middle schoolers just light up and kind of do high fives, knuckles, all the different things and the pride that the seniors um kind of displayed was really special. And one of the things that I thought was really cool, too, is that with the new middle school building out uh on the east side of town, uh their their plan is to continue on that tradition. And so, I just wanted to highlight that and say thank you to the district. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for working. It was it was quite amazing, Tammy. Sorry. Go ahead. [38:54] Like really amazing event. And um also from commencement, it was really rewarding to see um several members of our youth commission actually walk through graduation. and I I recognized some faces and names and um the senior speaker was also uh Kira Favre. So, she was a longtime member of our youth commission. So, really proud to see her up there representing and um just an amazing class. I think the future is bright. [39:19] Yeah. All right. She was too. So, with that, if there's no other business to come before council, I move to adjourn. All in favor signify by saying I. I opposed. Uh, let me hold that back. Uh, we are, let me take that back for a minute. Uh, I need to ask for a motion to reconvene the U work session. I'll move to reconvene the work session immediately following. [39:47] Is there a second? Second. All in favor? I I. And then the other motion that I set aside for the moment, adjournment. We are adjourned from the city council meeting. All in favor signify by saying I. I. I. opposed. Thank you. Thank you. [40:08] [Music] Hey hey [Music]
