In 03 we had some technical difficulties, so I will now call the meeting order. Please join me for the pledge. 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. All right. Um can I get a motion to approve the agenda? I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. Got a motion by council member Perschman. I second. Oh, I'm going to give that to Kayla. Second to council member uh Pasco. >> [laughter] >> All those in favor say I. I. We need to do a roll call roll call. Oh, right. We need to do a roll call vote. Council member Pasco. I. Council member Sayer. I. Council member Perschman. I. Council member Conrad. I. Mayor Johnson. I. Motion passes. Um all right. Maybe we will um jump around. Let's see. Are there any city manager reports tonight? Uh yep. Okay. Uh just wanted to check in with the council on the Minnesota Cities Day at the capital, uh which is Wednesday, March 11th from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Uh if you want to be registered uh I think we were the council is going to talk about uh strategy um and who may be attending at this meeting. I'm planning to go. I can go. I am not able to go. I'm planning to go. Kristi? No. Um okay. So, the three of us and Brent, you're going, right? >> Correct. So, um maybe we'll take team with Grunhagen and Harder and maybe have you guys pair up and then do you want to get stuck with me? That's There's one right answer here. >> [laughter] >> I wouldn't characterize it as get to. Um so, yeah. Is that agreeable? >> That's fine. Agreeable? Yes. Okay. Um and then would you can you get appointments with us? Yes. Okay. Yep. Fantastic. And then uh second item doesn't happen very often uh probably less than three times in my tenure here, but we at present don't have any items for the March 16th agenda. Um and we have as tonight we canceled both sessions, but this is a regular meeting, so uh happy to defer to the council on this. You can uh keep it scheduled, or if you want a night off, you're welcome to do that. I was joking around with council member Perschman. I'll either be here or at home, so I'm not going on some vacation that's >> [laughter] >> a ploy to get me out of something, but uh um happy to take feedback on how the council would like to proceed. I think we've always canceled commission meetings when there aren't items for an agenda, so I have no issues. And like in full disclosure, I will be out of town and was going to participate remotely, but I'll participate remotely or not. I have no problem with canceling. There's no reason to have them to be. Makes sense to me to cancel. I I won't be the odd man out, so it's okay. >> [laughter] >> Can we go back to the previous item though? >> Wait, can we just like Kristi, burning desire to meet on the 16th of March? You can thumbs up or thumbs down. If there's no reason to meet, then I say we cancel it. Okay. So, we'll cancel our meeting on the 16th. Going back. Okay. I don't think it's likely we're going to have multiple meetings uh when we're at the capital. So, if four of us prev- prevents uh a united front meeting, then I'm going to bow out. So, Kayla, you can attend. I don't want you to miss anything because of that. That sounds fine. We'd love to have you there, but I understand the Yeah. I I want you to have an opportunity to meet with those people. I've done it a couple of times. I Have you been there to do that? >> I was supposed to go last year and then the entire family got norovirus. >> Then you should absolutely go. >> [laughter] >> Maybe you should be on hot standby. I'll be there. I want to go unless you're saying But yeah, I I don't want you to miss that opportunity, so I'm going to bow out. [laughter] Okay. Thank you, Eric. Okay. I think we're ready for the consent agenda. Okay. Um so, what we will do um I would like to pull item 7.7 off of the consent agenda, so um with that let's approve the consent agenda without 7.7 and then we'll go move forward with 7.7. Can I get a motion to approve the >> make a >> agenda? [laughter] >> motion to approve the I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda and remove 7.7. I'll second. >> And a second by council member Perschman. Can we get a roll call vote, please? Council member Pasco. I. Council member Sayer. I. Council member Perschman. I. Council member Conrad. I. Mayor Johnson. I. Motion passes. All right. Um I am pulling 7.7 off of the consent agenda, which is adopt resolution 110-26 acknowledging acceptance and appreciation for donation from the Carver Lions Club to purchase battery operated extrication equipment. Um so, as you can see, we have some folks with us here tonight um from the fire department and from the Carver Lions Club. We are lucky enough in our community to have this great philanthropic volunteer group who does nothing not that's not right. Who >> [laughter] >> I was going to say does nothing more than like raise money to give it back to our community, which is in part true, but you guys do so much more than that. So, that's why I caught myself. And then I came out as that you do nothing and I >> [laughter] >> I'm just continuing to put my foot in my mouth here. Um but thank you guys so much. This is so appreciated. Um I am going to read um the resolution and then Chief Walsh, I might call on you to tell us a little bit more about what this donation is going to do and what the money will be used for, if that's okay. Okay. Um so, it's the the resolution acknowledging acceptance and appreciation for donation from the Carver Lions Club. It says, "Whereas Melvin Jones founded the Lions Club in 1917 in Chicago, Illinois. And whereas the Lions Club mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities understanding through Lions Clubs. And whereas the residents and businesses of Carver are grateful for the volunteerism, community spirit, >> [music] >> and resources shared by the Carver Lions Club. And whereas the Carver Lions Club has graciously donated $34,615 to the city of Carver to be used towards the purchase of battery operated extrication equipment. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the city of Carver City Council accepts the 3,000 $34,615 donation into the general fund as identified and thanks the Carver Lions Club for their generous donation to the city of Carver. Then it says, 'Adopted by the City of Carver uh the City Council of the City of Carver on the 17th day of February, 2026.' So, Chief Walsh, can I put you on the spot? Absolutely. Thank you. All right. What are we talking about when we're talking about extrication equipment? >> So, a few years back, I don't know 2022 I think it was, the Lions was gracious enough to donate some dollars to purchase battery operated extrication equipment. Back then, we weren't exactly sure how things were going to work with that, but things have worked so well that we approached them here recently and they were gracious enough to um donate that dollar amount to purchase another set. This stuff has worked so well that I can tell you on a majority of our accidents, the guys on the truck, guys and gals, will grab a piece of equipment extrication equipment and bring it up. Where before with the hydraulic stuff where it was hoses and extra um oils and that kind of stuff, it was never done that way. Now, things have been so convenient and they work so well we um wanted to outfit our other truck and get rid of the older hydraulic equipment. So, it's been it's been a really good positive thing for us. Great. And for those of us who aren't in the fire service, this is how you get into a mangled car? Yes. So, the extrication equipment, the old saying, jaws of life. Yeah. Um yes. This is where we use it on our on our car accidents where we can pop doors, take hoods off take the rooftops, make extra doors if we need to. There's all kinds of unique things that we can do. Awesome. Thank you. Absolutely. Great. Well, thank you. Can you everybody please join me in a round of applause for the Carver Lions Club for >> [applause] >> All right. Lions, you guys are interested in a picture with the fire department? Yes. >> Okay. So, we'll get out of the way and let you guys get your picture. Well, you guys can get in there. What? I'll stay in there. Yeah. Do you want to do it We can stand right here. No. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Do you want more people or less people or both? I don't know. Thank you for all being here. Are you doing social media or a portrait? Oh, Kayla, you got to get up there, too. Stand in front of the TV. I'm so warm. That's all Yeah. [snorts] Huh? Are you putting it on Yeah. Yes. Yeah. As long as I can I can assure Looks like a good spot. I'll stand on my tippy toes. If we duck far enough, If we duck far I'm going to take a picture. If we duck far enough, nobody will see us. we're far enough nobody will see us. If your nose is I'm going to be >> [laughter] >> Smile. 1 2 3 Do you have what you need today? I think this is my camera, so I'm going to take this. >> [laughter] [applause] [laughter] >> Feel better soon, Kathy. >> [laughter] >> Hey, you're missing out on hearing about the trail. >> [laughter] >> Trail bar, trail bar. Sounds good. >> [laughter] [clears throat] >> All right. Um, thanks for your flexibility, you guys. I wanted to make sure that we recognize them. Um, let's talk about Let's see, I am skipping all over the place. We don't have anyone here for community comment. We don't have anyone here for presentations and reports, nor do we have any public hearings this evening. Oh, [snorts] so can I get >> [laughter] >> I will make a motion to approve 7.7, um, which is uh adopt resolution 110-26 acknowledging acceptance and appreciation for the donation from the Carver Lions Club to purchase battery-operated extrication equipment. I'll second. Can I motion by Mayor Johnson, second by Councilmember Pershman. Can I get a roll call vote, please? Councilmember Pasco I Councilmember Sayre I Councilmember Pershman >> I Councilmember Conrad I Mayor Johnson I, motion passes. All right. Um, thanks for your flexibility with that and for reminding me um that we had to do that one. [laughter] Um, okay. The business item that we have tonight to discuss is the 2026 street maintenance project to authorize plans and specs. Mr. Smith Welcome back. >> Thank you very much. Good evening, Mayor and Council. I'm going to share my screen. I think we're working on on getting the sharing turned on presently. Miss a meeting and we boot you out of the system. >> know, we're getting a little clunky here, but that's While you're working on that, just if we can just check mics and speak into the microphone. Just I think we're having some Sure. audio issues too as far as like making sure Councilmember Conrad can hear you. Okay. Yeah, Christy, wave your arms wildly if you can't hear and I'll All right, it's probably me that's not talking loud enough. Yeah, Courtney, you're actually the one I'm having the hardest time hearing. Really? Even now? >> Even now? Now it's better. If you stay facing forward towards the mic, that'll Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um Just checking, are we sharing? Yes. Is everybody seeing this? >> can you see the screen? Okay, we're good. Okay, very good. So, uh thank you, Mayor. Um, tonight we are going to be looking at the 2026 street project. Um, we've had uh a couple of work sessions related to this item and tonight we'd be looking for formal authorization to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications for the project. Um, so when we talk pavement management, I always like to go back to this slide. Um, this was kind of the fundamentals of what um, we were looking at from the inception of our pavement management plan, which was adopted in 2021. So, we had a few goals. Uh, number one, obviously, we want to extend the life of our pavements, which ultimate [music] ultimately reduce the city's cost in the long term. And by adopting and implementing a plan, it sets clear expectations for the council for for budget expectations for a time horizon. So, that was a goal at that time and still continues today. And then lastly, um trying to reduce the impact to our residents to the extent possible. So, as we've kind of marched through these first five years of the plan, we've been uh tackling kind of neighborhood by neighborhood to the extent possible so we can uh limit kind of jumping around all over the place and and uh not being systematic in how we approach things. So, those are kind of the key goals. And then um I always remind the council that reclamation projects or basically starting over with a new pavement section costs about twice as much as a mill and overlay. So, we really are critical at looking at those roads before they get too far past, you know, that 20-year mark because they'll shift to reclamation soon after that and then you're you're basically doubling your costs in in the short term. So, um that is that is why we're really pushing on these mill and overlays and trying to stay ahead of that so we don't lose streets and have to do reclamations. So, um we'll jump right into the 2026 project areas then. Um, think about this in two groups. Number one, we have kind of our local street projects and then we have also have a state aid component, um, that we'll talk about. So, number one for the local street maintenance, we're going to be continuing our work within the Carver Bluffs neighborhood in 2026. Um, there's a series of streets here that you see on the map and that will consist of both reclamations and mill and overlays based on the reviews that we are completing or that we completed in the past year with Andrew and his team. So, this is consistent with those reviews. And um we'll be after after 2026, we have 1 year left in the Bluffs and then we'll be out of there for a while. So, we're getting close to the end. Um, but we have a couple more years left uh in the Carver Bluffs development. Um, this being the proposed 2026 plan. And then uh one final component of the 2026 local, um maintenance fund would be a fog seal of the White Pine Way Way Trail system. So, um that's another component of our pavement management plan is to uh stay on top of our trail systems. So, um we're proposing the fog seal on White Pine Way. So, then jumping into the state aid component of our project, um Mount Hope Road is what is what is being proposed for 2026 and that is going to be a reclamation project. So, the the entire pavement structure will be ground up and entirely new pavement will be placed, um, for Mount Hope Road. In addition to that, um the trail adjacent to the roadway will be replaced and a sidewalk connection will go from 7th Street East down to Old Carver Road on the west side of the road as was discussed in prior meetings. So, um in addition to that, a few other things that were kind of keeping track of that will be incorporated into the project is we talked about a pedestrian crossing at Skyview Lane. So, that will have a pedestrian signs to let, um, the traveling public know that the trail is crossing the road at that location. Um, we're also proposing two dynamic speed signs along that corridor, which will complement, um, other collector streets that we have in the city, um, where dynamic speed signs are present. And then lastly, um the final state aid component would be Jonathan Carver Parkway Trail system. So, that was, um, trail system that was redone in conjunction with the Jonathan Carver Parkway project in 2021 and um, here in 2026. So, that is the extent of the the state aid components of our project for this year. Aaron, when you talk about the fog seal on the JCP trails, is that from like 212 down to the Bluffs, the entire length? Yes. It'll be from the 212 interchange all all the way down to uh south of 4th Street, actually. So, the Okay. >> the piece that we redid with the with the county in 2021. [music] Got it. Okay. Thank you. >> Yep. Okay, so, um the sidewalk connection, just wanted to uh talk about this. We we had talked about this at length at the last work session. So, um just to kind of zoom in on that area, so as proposed, the 6-ft sidewalk would be on the west side of the road from 7th Street down to Old Carver Road. Um, the existing retaining wall on the west side of the roadway will remain in place. So, no, um, retaining wall replacements would be necessary um, as part of this sidewalk extension. And in order to facilitate that, a minor roadway shift, um, that would occur near 7th Street. So, the roadway would shift slightly to the east, which would allow for that 6-ft, um, facility along the retaining wall to be extended uh to the south. So, uh one other piece of that would be a a street narrowing down to 10 and 1/2 foot drive lanes, which would also help with traffic calming, um, going down the hill in this location. So, I I think all in all it's a good plan. It helps with traffic calming and it also gets that connection that we need down to Old Carver Road. Uh then we inserted this slide just um to to mention, you know, there are future improvements planned in conjunction with the Old Carver Road rehabilitation project, which is currently um in the office of state aid as part of the local road improvement program uh grant application. So, just really wanted to note that these intersection improvements are not contemplated as part of this project. So, those things will be done um at a future date that the council will see and elect to do um at a later time. So, this would not be part of the project in 2026. Uh one final piece, we looked at 504 Mount Hope Road. This was an item that came up at the last work session as well. Um the the question was whether or not the driveway grades would get worse as part of the sidewalk extension adjacent to it. And also vehicle stacking, that was a concern. So, what this figure depicts is it's it's kind of an engineered drawing, but um in layman's terms, what what this shows is that the proposed driveway slopes will not get greater. So, that's that's really the goal here is we don't want to make the condition worse. And really the reason for that is due to the shifting of the roadway, we're able to fit the sidewalk um the 6-ft sidewalk within without having to steepen the the driveway grade going down. And then the yellow rectangle, as I show here, is basically um kind of a ghosting of the the car that's to the west of it, just showing how you can stack two vehicles um end to end and stay out of the 6-ft sidewalk. So, that's a plus, too. Aaron, is the So, I get that the green part's the trail. Is kind of that lighter gray vertical box, is that kind of what with this project that we're going to have to Yeah. redo as part of that residence's >> We'll saw cut the driveway back and then we'll get the 6-ft sidewalk put in and then we'll patch in the driveway to match into the sidewalk. Okay. To match into the the new sidewalk. >> Okay, got it. Okay. >> Yep. Thank you. Mhm. Okay. Uh one other piece that came up at the work session last time was uh consideration for the ADA transition plan. And wanted to highlight um the red segment that goes through Riot Lions Park. That is currently a non-compliant route in our system um for a a variety of reasons, but the nice thing to note here is that with that with that sidewalk connection that goes to downtown, that would create an an ADA compliant route into our downtown uh along Mount Hope Road. So, that is that is a another big benefit of this. And then just one other piece was um I wanted to note was related to the implementation timing of the ADA transition plan. And in the plan, we had noted that um projects would be implemented on a case-by-case basis when funding becomes available with an overall goal for the city that within the next 30 years from when that plan was adopted, that we would try to correct all the deficiencies that were noted in that plan. So, um that that kind of sets the tone, you know, how it's uh kind of on a case-by-case review. I say in this case, now that you're creating a compliant route, that's a huge step in the right direction. So, this this Lions Park piece can stand on its own as a separate issue. Okay, so that was the scope of the project. Now, let's talk about the the funding plan for it. So, as I mentioned, there's uh a couple components. There's the local component and the state aid component. So, um the costs for those, respectively, are about $570,000 and $970,000. And then we have a a budgeted utility enterprise um fund allocation annually. So, anything that we determine should get addressed in conjunction with the street maintenance projects, we'll address those in conjunction with the overall project, but those would be funded with the utility enterprise funds. So, for example, Andrew and his team are going to go out and look at all the gate valves. I know we already have a couple that have been flagged that need to get addressed. So, we'll go ahead and get those done so we don't have to dig up the street in the future um after the project is done. So, his team's going to be um taking a close look at all the utility pieces as we move through final design here and that's what those utility enterprise funds will pay for. And then the last piece here is um 310,000 for the sidewalk extension and that would be funded with an interfund loan. Um one just one kind of overarching comment on the estimates is obviously this is still concept level. So, once we move into final design, we'll do a full engineer's estimate on this and then we'll present the the updated engineer's estimate with the council um when you'd be looking to authorize bidding of the project. So, before anything goes out to bid, obviously we'll bring it back to you and then you'll see the updated updated cost estimates. But as noted here, um for those first three buckets specifically, those are all consistent with what was shown in the pavement management plan to date. So, uh one last piece is that this none of these projects here are subject to any special assessments for the for the residents. So, with that being said, let's talk about schedule. Um tonight, as I mentioned, the council is going to consider the authorization of preparing the plans and specifications. Uh we're going to use the next month and a half here to get the plans and specs wrapped up. Uh state aid does have to review the Mount Hope Road piece, so that'll go through state aid plan review process, uh which is why I'm showing that we're planning to bring the plans back to you in April. So, we want to leave time to make sure that we get through the state aid plan review process here in the next month and a half. Um Bring the plans back in April. Assuming you want to move forward with the project, we'll go ahead and get it posted and advertised for bids. And then the bidding period will occur, at which time we'd be bringing the project back to you for considering awarding a contract in May. And then all that said, this will be a one-year construction contract or construction project that's estimated, so we should be able to wrap this up in the fall this year. And that's what I had, so I'd be happy to take any questions. Great. Questions? Comments? Well, I don't think I really have any questions. I've seen this a number of times. One small comment is we're using the same definition for reclamation and mill and overlay. Yes, we we caught that. Um >> Good. Actually, Natalie caught that. So, >> [laughter] >> so Natalie and Brenda mentioned that to me today. So, let me clarify. A reclamation project is a full depth grinding up the whole pavement section and then repaving the entire pavement section. Whereas a mill and overlay takes the top layer of the pavement off only, so it just mills off the top inch and a half and it repaves the inch and a half layer. So, I believe in the in the Carver Bluffs neighborhood handout, that was shown um inconsistently, but we're going to go ahead and get that updated on the website and everything so people know. >> right. That's all. Thank you. Yep. I know that last summer we heard from residents. It might have been in the area. It was Sunny Ridge Drive and I can't remember if that was a full depth. I feel like it might have been. Complaining kind of about the duration between when they took the pavement away and then when the new pavement went down because of all the dust that it created every single time a car drove through there. Is there any way to try to shorten that length of time so that there isn't like the appearance and the actuality of nothing happening for weeks and weeks and weeks on end? Sure. Um yeah, I think there's a couple things we could do in the spec language. So, one thing that I've done in the past is you can do like a kind of like a continuous progress provision where basically, once you remove the the pavement structure, obviously there's there's several steps that have to happen, but it basically lays out that once you start in an area, you need to continue to work in that area until there's a a lift of pavement back on it. Now, obviously there's like cure time for concrete curb, which is understandable, but you can't just like remove the pavement, then leave for 2 weeks before you do something, the new curb, then leave for 3 weeks. So, we could shore that up. Okay. Um And especially if we're doing some of that utility work, that might I get it have the appearance of nothing happening on the section that's right out in front of your house, but it might be happening a little further down, but Mhm. we could do that and if that's not going to cost us more or significantly more, I think that that would be Yep, we can do that and then another thing we could do even to augment that a little bit more is you can say, you know, once once you remove the pavement structure, you have X number weeks to to finish that area in totality. So, I think there's a couple things that I can >> [clears throat] >> kind of get creative with in the spec language to help shore that up. Right. Uh Kristy, any thoughts or comments, questions? Um yeah, can you remind me so we have we're adding that um we're talking about adding the sidewalk section there. Um for snow maintenance, did we come to um a final on that that this the city would do snow removal on that? Yeah, it's a blacktop surface, so the city maintains blacktop surfaces. Okay. We just keep calling it sidewalk, so I'm getting I just want to make sure that I've got it correct. So, okay. Um let's see here. Um another question for you, Aaron, is will it be finished by Steamboat Days? Um that's a really good question, Council Member Conrad. Um so, one thing that we've had in the specifications in the past is we have not set a completion date by Steamboat Days, but we've had some provisions in there um prohibiting working days prior to Steamboat Days. So, I think that's a talking point that is a good one. In the past, I have outlined um the Friday before Steamboat Days is not allowed, but we are able to adjust that however the council chooses to to do that. So, at this point, I believe Brent, we were considering the week of Steamboat Days, correct? Yeah, we just uh traditionally we get comments from residents that's related to garage sale days and work, and so and those garage sales can start as soon as Wednesday, and it's a short week, so my initial um feedback Aaron Schmidt was to put in the spec no work the week of uh Labor Day. Um just to avoid that conflict point, but happy to defer to the council. I have a couple that um if that doesn't for some reason that doesn't work, I that would be great for Steamboat Days. Um we really do need access to Lions Park. So, if that if for some reason it happens that that we decide not to make sure that we it's passable, if we can have somehow over the Steamboat Days be able to get up the hill and have Lions Park. Some people do park up there and walk down. We have some vendors who park up there and then come down. Um and when it comes to the bus routes for bussing people down from um the transit station, I can we can adjust that. That's not that's not the the thing, but if there's any way for the Lions Park I have no objection to that. Does anybody feel strongly else? No. Okay. We're all in agreement, Kristy. >> I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I didn't hear you. >> We're all in agreement that no construction the week of Labor Day is fine. Okay. Okay, thank you. Anything else, Kristy? Um No, I think that's it. Thank you. Okay. Um Aaron, I have a couple more questions. Um with the trail on Hope Road, that's not going to affect anything for our state aid money, correct? >> No. Okay. And then um lowering the or narrowing the lanes down to 10 and 1/2 ft. Mhm. I'm sorry for the silly question, but how wide is an average vehicle? An average vehicle is going to be 6 and 1/2 to 7, I'd say. Okay. Okay, so that's plenty of room. I'm just thinking like especially this time of year when there's like 18 in of snow at the curb where there's you know >> So, 10 and 1/2 ft does meet state aid design standards, so Fantastic. >> Yep. That's it for me. Okay, thank you. So, I'd entertain a motion if we're ready. From anyone. >> [laughter] >> All right. Vacations for the 2026 street maintenance project. Motion by Council Member Perschman. I'll second. Second by Council Member Sayer. Any further discussion? All right, can we get a roll call vote, please? Council Member Pasco. Aye. Council Member Sayer. Aye. Council Member Perschman. Aye. Council Member Conrad. Aye. Mayor Johnson. Aye. Motion passes. Um all right. We had monthly reports. If anybody has any questions about those um and then council communications. Kristy, you want to go first? Sure, thanks. I don't have much um thank you for humoring me by being on having me on line tonight. Um I have a terrible cold and nobody wants me in the room with them, so um thank you. Uh HPC meeting is canceled for this month or was canceled for this month, sorry. Um other than that, I don't have anything. Okay. Okay. I have a similar announcement. Uh planning commission is canceled this month, so that's today. Okay. Nothing for me. All right. Um updates from me. Last weekend, February 6th and 7th, was the Elected Leaders Institute through the League of Minnesota Cities. Um two-day event. I helped welcome both groups. It was the newly elected leaders and then the advanced program. Um and then I participated in the advanced program. For the first time ever, we had a mayor specific programming before those um conferences began, where we heard from Paul Amato um just about owning your mayoral moments, which was kind of cool. Um February 10th last week, Brent and I welcomed the Carver County Library Board. They take their meetings on the road and they have them at a different venue every month. Um it is chaired by a city of Carver resident, Stacy Lindquist, so that was kind of cool that she got to be in her own community and uh chair the meeting. Let's see. Um last uh week on February 11th was the League's legislative preview webinar. Did anybody else participate in that? I couldn't get logged in. Okay. Um they do such a great job and kind of, you know, we always have I always ask the crystal ball question. Um and they do like an informed preview, but also their crystal ball analysis of what they think is going to happen in the upcoming session that started today. On um February 12th, I attended the Highways 10 and 11 open house. Not in our community, not in our growth area, but something that's absolutely going to affect um those of us who want to try to get to Waconia going that way and or Victoria. So, construction on County Road 11 um is slated for 2028, and then County Road 10 is going to be 2029. Um and then on Sunday night was the second um of the Carver Stories screenings, and once again, Carver on the Minnesota just hit it out of the park. They interviewed uh Lauren Huppenbecker, who was the last owner of the Riverside Ballroom. He owned it when it burned down. Um and then Mike Shaw of the Shaw Band, which was the band that drew the biggest crowds when they were down there. Um and Lauren is like in his 90s. He's like 92 or 95, and it was just delightful to hear his memories and his analysis and talking about what he would do if bands were too loud and, you know, how he worked with the fire marshal because the fire marshal said originally that they could only get 300 people in, and that didn't work with his bottom line. So, he put in more doors and windows and exits, so he could get 1,100 people in there. So, it's just wild to hear those and really cool. Carver on the Minnesota is going to be putting those on their YouTube page, so even if you missed it, you can participate and watch it a little bit later. So, that is it for me. I would entertain a motion to adjourn. I'll make a motion to adjourn. Motion by Council Member Sayer. I'll second. Oh, I'm going to give it to Kayla. Uh second by Council Member Pasco.
