Spooner**: There we go. 6 o'clock and I will call the Tuesday, February 10th, 2026, Faribault City Council meeting to order. First item is roll call. [0:40] **City Clerk Heather Slechta**: Council member Barnes? **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Here. **Heather Slechta**: Doumbouya? **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: Here. **Heather Slechta**: Ross? **Council Member Royal Ross**: [No response] **Heather Slechta**: Rowan? **Council Member John Rowan**: Here. **Heather Slechta**: Van Sluis? **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: Here. **Heather Slechta**: Thiele? **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: Here. **Heather Slechta**: Mayor Spooner? **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Here. And second is pledge of allegiance. [0:46] **All**: 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. [1:12] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Our second item is approval of the agenda. [1:15] **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: So moved. **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Second. [1:20] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Doumbouya, second by Barnes. All those in favor signify. [Chorus of Ayes]. [1:28] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: All opposed. The agenda is approved. Item number three, we have two presentations tonight. First of all is presentation by Chief Sherwin to John Blackmer. Chief Sherwin? [1:59] **Police Chief John Sherwin**: Can you hear me? Oh, here we go. Okay, good. Uh mayor, members of council, delighted to be here tonight to present a recognition from the department. We don't do this very often, um, but but this is a recognition, uh, for life-saving actions by a citizen of our community. [2:18] **Chief John Sherwin**: Um, I want to give you a little bit of the details first so you know why we're here. Um, and I'm joined by large number of our officers that were actually present that night. Uh so if you think back to December 17th of of 2025, uh we had a work session that night and then we had a after that we had a a Christmas event that while all that was taking place, uh we had officers that were dispatched to uh the area of Ravine Street for a person in crisis. Uh a young 19-year-old man who um was experiencing a psychological crisis and had been demonstrating some characteristics of self-harm. uh and that young individual left his residence and was on foot and we were uh looking [3:03] **Chief John Sherwin**: for him and concerned about his welfare. Um the information we had was the individual had last been seen headed toward the woods of the state academy as well as toward Shattuck. Um we had all of our officers that were working—this was right at shift change—went to the scene. We contacted the fire department who uh all the on-duty firefighters responded as well as part-time paid on call that came in for manpower issues. [3:29] **Chief John Sherwin**: We had sheriff's office uh deputies there and we had several drones that were up in the air. Um members of the department know Mr. Blackmer from his relationship that we have with him at Shattuck and and made a phone call uh to hey can you keep an eye on campus to see if this individual walks through the wooded area. He did a lot more than that and that's why we're here. This search and this effort went on for uh over uh an hour and a half uh to no avail despite the drones and everything. And if you remember the conditions, it was cold on the ground. [4:04] **Chief John Sherwin**: And uh far outside the perimeter we were looking, John went and found a lone set of footprints along the railroad track. And so he alerted officers, they responded. They were able to locate this individual almost outside of the city. [4:27] **Chief John Sherwin**: Got him medical treatment and then it was discovered that his injuries that were self-inflicted were so severe he had to be hospitalized. This was absolutely life-saving that we present this certificate. Thank you for your efforts. [5:06] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Next item tonight is a proclamation. School bus drivers. Yeah. [5:15] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Bus driver. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate all you do. Take pictures. From the office of the mayor of Faribault. Whereas in the darkness and the daylight of the dirty roads to multi-lane highways from the warm spring through the frigid winter, Minnesota school bus drivers safely transport more than 760,000 precious students to and from school each day. [6:02] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Whereas school bus drivers often bookend the students' day, they can be a positive influence on a student's educational experience. Whereas school bus driving industry is the largest form of mass transit in Minnesota and has worked hard to reduce the environmental impact through uses of alternative fuels through retrofitting diesel engines. [6:28] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Whereas it is estimated that the use of school bus saves the United States more than 2.3 billion gallons of fuel each year. Whereas students are nearly eight times safer riding to and from school in a school bus rather than cars thanks to the rigorous safety standards for vehicles and drivers as well as students' training efforts. [6:58] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Whereas the city of Faribault participates in school bus drivers and recognizes the invaluable contributions they make to public education and student safety. Today we recognize the worthy professionals. Now therefore, I, Thomas J. Spooner, mayor of the city of Faribault, do hereby proclaim February 18th, 2026 as school bus driver appreciation. [7:37] **School Bus Driver**: You're welcome. All right. Thank you. [8:02] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Next item is approval of the minutes of January 27th, 2026. [8:08] **Council Member John Rowan**: So moved. **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: Second. [8:12] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Rowan, second by Van Sluis to approve the minutes. All those in favor signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. Motion passes. [8:20] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Requests to be heard. We have quite a few tonight compared to normal. Um, you will be given three minutes to speak on your topic of which you chosen. Please come forward to the podium. State your name and your address for the record. So, first up, Matt Cavaliere, 1000 Shumway Avenue. [8:51] **Matt Cavaliere**: Cavaliere, uh 1000 Shumway Avenue, Shattuck-St. Mary's School, the head of school. I've been member of this community for 22 years and I'm here today. I've had good conversations with Tom and with John who just left um about some of the disruptions that ICE is causing in our community. Not here to talk about anything I think very political this afternoon, but I I am talking about some financial challenges that are happening. I can tell you that as a school that brings in students from across the country and across the globe, we are already hearing from families that they're going to choose other schools because of what's going on in Minneapolis and maybe to a lesser extent their knowledge of what's going on here and so I I I need people to understand [9:38] **Matt Cavaliere**: that that while we may have differences of opinion on how and and whether it's it's right to be here without documentation or not, there are ramifications and ripple effects that that roll out into the community um that I don't think we're always taking under consideration. [9:56] **Matt Cavaliere**: Number one, Shattuck-St. Mary's is an incredible source of income for this town. Our students provide an incredible source of income for this town. If we are going to get hit by that, so are all of the restaurants in town, the hotels in town, and the stores in town. Right? That's all going to have ramifications. But I'm not really here to talk about or complain about Shattuck-St. Mary's or any of our our struggles kind of with students. I'm here because tonight you're going to you're going to meet this afternoon or this evening to talk about a request for $50,000 to help pay some emergency rent. That's a drop in the bucket to help some people in our community um in a situation where we don't know how long this might last. [10:41] **Matt Cavaliere**: I understand that there might be some people out there who want to say that that's fine. Let's let this come to a head and let's deal with it. But the reverberations from that are pretty seismic. It means that every single—if we all of a sudden have 60 people who are evicted, 60 families who are evicted—that is going to increase the workload of almost everybody in public service here. It's going to increase the workload of the police office. It's going to increase the workload of the fire department. It's going to increase the workload of the social services that we have in place. [11:13] **Matt Cavaliere**: I would strongly urge this committee to take this into account. It is not a full plan. There needs to be a full plan. [11:18] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: 30 seconds. [11:21] **Matt Cavaliere**: 30 seconds. Okay. It is not a full plan and there needs to be a full plan put in place for families. However, we're not talking about a full plan. We're talking about an emergency service allocation. I would really hope that that would be something you'd consider. John Blackmer is a perfect example of who we are and what we stand for both at Shattuck and in Faribault; we take care of everybody around us and we look to make sure that everybody's safe here. Thank you. [11:58] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Dana Plank, is that correct? Update on—I'm sorry for the penmanship. Wow. [12:12] **Dana Plank**: That is completely okay. Uh Dana Plank, 838 Athome Place. Good evening, council. Um I am actually against the fact that uh they're trying to justify $50,000. So if they're an illegal immigrant, an illegal alien, they should not be here. So there'd be no dollars at any amount that should be allocated for those people in this community, let alone the state, to be able to uh get a rental assistance. I for one am completely for ICE and what they're doing. I think it should last as long as it possibly can. If you're here illegally, you need to—there's not much more that I think that we should be I I guess talking about. This is a common sense issue. [12:58] **Dana Plank**: Um no reason for us as taxpayers to be able to fund an illegal alien to live in our community. We just heard the topic of uh um ripple effects. You have illegal aliens that are in our community that can cause crime. They may have done um identity theft if they're paying taxes. They could be removed so that way we actually have a place for someone else for taking that apartment or that housing that they're in. You have a large uh amount of um items or ripple effects that are not in a positive, they're in a negative and the fact that we're paying for those people to be here. So that's just my opinion. I think that you should definitely deny it. Thank you. [13:47] **John Kingland**: Hi, my name is uh Jonathan Kingland. I've lived here all my life. I would just urge as leaders in our community, there is an obligation to separate what is desired and to support the community with physical and moral good decisions as servants of the community. Those in official positions, uh there's a burden and responsibility to first balance the budget and things that the law-abiding citizens need and second to ensure that there is a representation of taxation. Do we have a surplus of funds? That would be my question. [14:31] **John Kingland**: If we have a balanced budget and have surplus funds, are the taxpayers uh the good and legal citizens in our community, are they in agreement, content with the amount of taxes being burdened on them today or do they want the surplus to be directly back to the taxpayer? Um questions we should be asking. We should strive to be fair and just and to be careful not to give aid to illegal activity no matter um the financial deficit. Giving funds, shelter or any type of help to those that are criminals or those who are participating in illegal activity—this should be considered aiding and abetting. I do not have a desire to support illegal activity, fair or just, especially to those who strive daily to be law-abiding, productive citizens, good standing members of our community. [15:30] **John Kingland**: Uh nor is it the right and loving way to treat our neighbors. Uh people that have uh gone through the right way to do this all have an obligation to use our funds and assets and talents, skills, trades and time to build up and protect, defend and care for our community uh for our law-abiding citizens. Everyone here to do just this. Uh remember that we are a public. Remember what the founders desired for us as they started the framework of our country and what they want. Remember to serve our community. Do what is good and just folks. [16:03] **Jordan Brennan**: Hello everybody. Jordan Brennan. Um 409 1st Avenue Northeast. I just want to thank everybody on council for everything you do to support the community. I'm coming here to talk about charter section 3.05, a multi-step process which can lead to costs and delays. Plus, it's had a great effect in delaying time lost which just creates a clear burden for contractors. It's hard on smaller projects because it leads to a lot of just kind of poor performance around it. Other side of that is finance and I think for businesses to succeed there needs a process which is understandable, predictable and consistent. [17:40] **Nate Cunningham**: Good evening. Um Nate Cunningham also 409 1st Avenue North. Mr. Mayor, council members, uh I'm going to continue uh what Jordan was talking about. So talking about uh a double reading process. Uh it could—in our own projections—it'll cost somewhere between $10,000 to $20,000 more for some projects. We have veterans, we have disabled people that are uh needing work which we're unable to do. But outside the monetary cost there's a cost to the community. [18:22] **Nate Cunningham**: Uh the system as set doesn't allow small businesses to compete. Uh we don't have the uh funds or the deep pockets. You're losing the contractors that might get uh frustrated by delays in administration which deter new businesses from even working or wanting to participate that we talked to many from here. This is my town. I'm not going anywhere. Uh it costs the reputation of Faribault uh in itself. Uh frustrating. Uh so we're doing um so you know the vote to to change this, to alter section 3.05, will not fix all of this. You know, a lot of city people are working. Not going to fix everything, but this will be a great step in the right direction. Thank you. [19:54] **Gail Burke**: Council members, Gail Burke, 717 Spring Road here in Faribault. I've been a lifelong resident of Faribault. I'm here tonight because several cats in my community have gone missing and I suspect illegal trapping by a neighbor is the cause. This husband and wife team openly trap cats with live traps and then foolishly post about it on Facebook. These traps sit in their front yard. They bait them with catnip. [20:26] **Gail Burke**: This is not only illegal but a felony under Minnesota statute 343.21. It is prohibited because you cannot lure animals into traps that way. I relied on information shared by the trappers. They insisted that they had approval from the Faribault PD to trap and dispose of nuisance cats and that Faribault had a strict leash law for cats. I found out that neither of those statements were true. They even referenced this in their Facebook posts. [20:56] **Gail Burke**: I trusted those sources and in hindsight I should have asked more questions. There are specific ordinances and laws in place, statute 321.5, that protect cats from being trapped and relocated without proper procedures. These protections ensure that cats are not moved away from their homes and neighborhoods without proper care and consideration. [21:18] **Gail Burke**: Barbara Gislason, a prominent animal law attorney, personally came to Faribault and met with the families and individuals of the missing cats. She is fully aware of the situation and has recommended drafting an ordinance to protect the cats. I conducted a thorough survey in my neighborhood that took three days, speaking with longtime residents, documenting their responses. None of them, after living here for years, reported any cat issues. [21:55] **Gail Burke**: I believe that all cats have value. All cats, whether homed or unhomed, feral or domestic, deserve kindness and protection. I believe that's why Minnesota has laws to protect cats. As I mentioned, I also believe we need accountability for any form of animal abuse. That's why I feel it's crucial to enforce an ordinance in our community. I've submitted a model ordinance addressing those issues. Respectfully urge you, mayor and council, to take steps to stop these illegal practices, protect our pets, and uphold the law. [22:30] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: All right, that's all we have signed up for tonight. Thank you everyone for coming, voicing your opinion. Our next item is item six, consent agenda. Tonight we have 6A through 6Q. Would anybody like— [22:56] **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: Mayor Spooner? **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Yes. **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: I make a motion to approve consent agenda items 6A through 6Q. **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Second. [23:11] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Van Sluis, second by Barnes. All those in favor signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. All those are passed. On to public hearings. We have one tonight. Resolution 2026-044, Street Improvements. Mark DuChene, Director of Engineering. [23:31] **City Engineer Mark DuChene**: Perfect. Thank you, mayor, members of the council, and the public. Uh before you tonight is a resolution to order the plans and specifications for our 2026 MSA street overlay improvements project. Uh this is city contract 2026-02. Uh this year's street improvements uh for our overlay project are on 30th Street/Western Avenue um up kind of from Haskell's Highway 21 area through the D.R. Horton neighborhood there and around the corner and then also on Lincoln Avenue from Highway 60 or Fourth Street to 7th Street Northwest. [24:04] **Mark DuChene**: This is our typical mill and overlay project where uh we'll either mill the edges of the road or the full width of the road depending upon the condition of the pavement and each individual road. Uh we do full casting repairs and structure repairs as needed, replace defective existing curb and sidewalk and then we come back and pave a new bituminous overlay to extend the service life of the street. Chart on the right there shows you our pavement management program where from original construction to the time we reconstruct a pavement. [24:31] **Mark DuChene**: We're aiming for that 50 to 60 year lifespan. Don't always get there. There's a lot of factors that go into it to determine expectancy of a street. This is the guideline that we've adopted. So, I mentioned this year's project locations are Lincoln Avenue from Highway 60 to 7th Street, 30th Street Northwest from Trunk Highway 21 to Western Avenue, and then a short segment of Western Avenue. [24:56] **Mark DuChene**: We continued this year again with our virtual neighborhood meetings. Um, I received one question via email about the impacts during construction to adjacent properties. Typically milling takes 20 minutes to a half hour when the mill's going by your property and that your access is limited. We're trying to minimize the impacts of them. Total project costs for this project come in just under $560,000. You can see a majority of that is paid for through our municipal state aid street fund. This is the city's portion of the state gas tax that we receive. Basically, so this and then there's a small portion that's funded out of our water utilities. [25:46] **Mark DuChene**: Following the public hearing tonight, pending council adoption to order plans and specifications. We do anticipate being back in two weeks to have you approve those plans and set a bid date back on March 24th to award a contract. We anticipate then construction would begin in May. We have a final completion date of August. So with that, I ask you to conduct a public hearing to solicit input on the project and then consider resolution 2026-044 and I'll stand up for any questions. [26:30] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Any questions for staff? All right. At this time, I'll entertain a motion to open up. **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: So moved. **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Second. [26:40] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Doumbouya, second by Barnes to open public hearing. All those in favor say Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. All right, we are in public hearing. Anybody wishing to speak on this matter, please come forward. [No response]. A motion to close the public hearing. [26:56] **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: So moved. **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: Second. [27:08] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Van Sluis, second by Thiele. All those in favor signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. We are out of public hearing. I will now entertain a motion on the resolution. [27:21] **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Motion to approve resolution 2026-044. **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: Second. [27:30] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Barnes, second by Doumbouya. Signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. That resolution passes. On to number eight, items for discussion. Resolution 2026-050, approval of liquor license. Heather Slechta. [27:38] **City Clerk Heather Slechta**: Evening, mayor and council. Um, we have received an application from Gary Abram on behalf of the Signature Bar and Grill LLC that will be doing business as The Signature for a new on-sale and Sunday intoxicating liquor license. Um, this license will go into effect on or around March 2nd pending some paperwork um and will be valid through December 31st, 2026. Uh the police department um conducted a background check and um the city attorney will be reviewing the certificate of insurance that is required for all liquor licenses um once it's submitted and prior to submitting to the state of Minnesota. Um once we submit it to the state of Minnesota, then they will review and give it a final approval. So, um, staff is recommending approving resolution 2026-050 and I can take any questions. [28:37] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Any questions for staff? Forward. At this time, I'll entertain a motion. **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: So moved. **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: Second. [28:50] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Thiele, second by Van Sluis. All those in favor signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. Motion passes. Item B, resolution 2026-045, plans and specifications for pedestrian bridge. Once again, Mark DuChene. [29:09] **City Engineer Mark DuChene**: Thank you, mayor, members of the council, and the public. Before you tonight is the next step in a public improvement project, and that's having council approve the plans and specifications and set a bid date. Uh this contract is for the Deer Bridge pedestrian bridge that's on the Straight River Trail just east of Willow Street north of the Sundet mobile home park um east southeast of the Faribault Gymnastics Center. The existing Deer Bridge is an old railroad timber bridge that's been significantly damaged by years of rot and decay as well as a couple of known fires there on the bridge. [29:56] **Mark DuChene**: In 2023, we did hire a consultant to evaluate all of our pedestrian and non-transportation bridges. This was one of them that was identified for further investigation that happened in 2024. And during that deeper testing, it was noticed that many of the structural members of this bridge were showing significant structural decay. So, this project removes that existing railroad timber bridge, replaces that bridge with a single span bridge. Um it'll be a steel pre-fabricated bridge with a concrete decking on it and then restoration of the adjacent trail. [30:26] **Mark DuChene**: This is just an example of what I'm talking about when I say a single span pre-fabricated structural bridge. Another good example in the community is the bridge that's on the state trail there just south of the animal clinic. Estimated project cost per the consulting engineer for the construction portion of the contract is just over $604,000. Um majority of that is paid for through the park improvement fund, but we were successful last year in being awarded a $100,000 grant from the DNR local trail program. [31:15] **Mark DuChene**: I will say there's some conservativeness definitely built into this estimate just based on some uncertainty on where these manufacturers are at. We've gotten preliminary information from a number of folks who would be eligible to make a bridge like this and the range was quite substantial. Um pending approval of plans and specification tonight we will go out for bids for a March 4th bid opening. Um, and we hope to award a contract on March 10th. Because of the DNR funding, we do have to get concurrence from them possibly before we can do a full award. The push to get awarded now is we're being told that these bridges have a 20-week lead time. [31:47] **Mark DuChene**: Um, so while we'll be bidding a contract now, we're going to take down some trees that we have to take down before the bat nesting season starts here in April. Um, but the majority of the work likely won't start until the fall this year and possibly no work really will start until the spring of next year. Really all going to depend on that lead time. This project will um in some way or other extend into spring of 2027 if construction actually starts in the fall. So with that, uh we are asking you to consider resolution 2026-045 and I will stand for questions. [32:30] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Any questions for staff? **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: Yes. Mark, just curious—how high up is that bridge? **Mark DuChene**: About 25 feet across the ravine there. **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: I have a tough time supporting this, asking the taxpayer for $500,000 if you take out the grant. And that's a big ask. One thing that really came up over and over in caucus was that people are tired of being taxed to death. Is this a necessity or is this a want? [33:15] **Mark DuChene**: I think I can speak for both our current park director and our former park director that was here when we started this process. This is identified as a significant and key cog in our city trail system. Um there's no great alternative if this bridge is taken out. There's no great alternative alternate route for that trail system other than putting people um on the narrower sidewalk adjacent to Willow Street back by the old Sellner Manufacturing plant. If parks and trails are a valued resource, this is a key cog in that existing park system. [34:19] **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: For me personally, it is just a support of improved structure. I'm very happy that the DNR was able to at least add to what we have. It's a key part of our trail system. One thing we got in this town is a great trail system. [34:32] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: All right. At this point in time, I'll entertain a motion. **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: I'll make a motion to approve. **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: Second. [34:40] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: I have a motion by Doumbouya, second by Thiele. All those in favor of resolution 2026-045 signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed? **Council Member John Rowan**: Nay. **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion still passes. On the last one, resolution 2026-046, a feasibility contract with HGA. [34:52] **Parks and Recreation Director Rochelle Anderholm-Parsch**: All right. Good evening, Mayor and Council. [34:55] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Yes. Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you. That's a long name. I pronounced your name the first time right tonight, though? [35:00] **Rochelle Anderholm-Parsch**: You caught me off guard! Um well, I'm here before you tonight to um carry on as um was discussed previously with council in a work session about work for the community center feasibility study. And um previously the city had engaged HGA in a study for the park and we're picking up where we left off um talking about um the other side of the coin whether we should renovate, talk about expanding existing facilities, or rebuilding on the current site. So just doing a deeper dive into the previous work that was already done. [35:52] **Rochelle Anderholm-Parsch**: And um part of this project and the reason we picked HGA is because they have the history of the previous work. They understood and did the facility assessment and then the rationale behind the fee is we can directly appoint the contract. We figured with HGA's full history that it was a fair price that they came in at. So staff's recommendation is that the council authorizing the contract. [36:36] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Any questions for staff? At this time I'll entertain a motion. **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: I make a motion to approve resolution 2026-046. **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: Second. [37:00] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Doumbouya, second by Barnes. All in favor of resolution 2026-046 signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. The motion passes. Bids tonight? We have none. Boards and commission reports or project updates? [37:05] **City Administrator Jessica Kinser**: Yes. Uh just a reminder that tomorrow is our monthly council chat being held at uh in conjunction with the Rice County Historical Society at the Alexander Faribault House um from 3:30 to 4:30. And so uh obviously there's no parking on site at the Alexander Faribault House. So, we're encouraging people to use the Viaduct parking lot or the parking lot um located at the Buckham Center to access that site. [37:39] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: I plan to be there. **Council Member Mandy Barnes**: I cannot make it. **Council Member Adama Youhn Doumbouya**: I have a different commission meeting at a similar time. I can maybe come at the beginning for a little bit. **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Okay. Thank you all. All right, that's it. Motion to adjourn. [38:00] **Council Member Peter van Sluis**: So moved. **Council Member Chuck Thiele**: Second. [38:12] **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Motion by Van Sluis, second by Thiele to adjourn. All those in favor signify by saying Aye. [Chorus of Ayes]. All opposed. We are adjourned. [38:19] **Unknown Speaker**: Are we going to the other room? **Mayor Thomas J. Spooner**: Nope. We're staying here. Would you like this? **Unknown Speaker**: I would. Yes, please.
