[0:00] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** and second. All those in favor? Opposed? Carries. We're going to skip public input. Nobody's signed up for that tonight. Get us straight to our presentation. So, we've got Abdo Solutions here to look at our 2024 numbers. [0:26] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Anything else I need to do besides just plug this in? Let me see if this is the button or podium HDMI. [0:39] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** There it is. All right. Well, thanks for having me tonight. My name is Tyler C. I'm an audit manager at ABDO. And like you said, I'm here to present the 2024 financial statement audit presentation. Uh so the audit presentation is meant to be a high-level overview of the audit. So basically give you guys the main uh points that we think you should be aware of without getting too lost in the details. So, kind of getting right into it, uh, what I'm going to be going over first of all is our responsibility as auditors as well as our audit opinion. [1:05] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** I'll then get into the financial results. So, I'll start with the general fund, move to your other governmental funds, uh, go on to your enterprise funds, and then I'll end the presentation with what we like to call key performance indicators. So, our responsibility as auditors is to issue an opinion on the city's financial statements. We are issuing what's referred to as an unmodified opinion or a clean opinion on your financial statements. So that is the opinion you would be striving for in a financial statement audit. Uh we also do some testing around Minnesota legal compliance. So some testing around state statutes that are relevant to the city and we also have no instances of non-compliance uh for the audit as well. [1:45] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Overall clean audit opinion and no compliance issues this year. Uh we do have one internal control finding for the 2024 audit. And if you've seen this presentation before, you might recognize this finding. Uh preparation of financial statements is what the finding is called. Basically, this means that we as your auditors not only perform the audit, we also prepare the financial statements. Uh technically, the financial statements are the responsibility of management. So, this is technically an internal control finding. Um so, this is a pretty common audit finding, most common audit finding that we issue. Uh and it's been a recurring finding uh for the city. [2:23] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** So then looking at your financial results here, we're looking at your general fund fund balance in comparison to the city's fund balance policy. Uh so the city's fund balance policy is maintain a fund balance of 40 to 50% of your following year's budget. So what this graph is showing here is that at the end of 2024, your general fund fund balance is at about 80% of your 2025 budget. So, of course, you're meeting and exceeding that fund balance policy. Now, we're going to look at your general fund budget to actual results for 2024. So, on the left, you're going to see your original and final budget for 2024. The middle, you're going to see the actual results for the year. And on the right, you're going to see the variance of that final budget. [3:08] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Uh, so you did have positive budget variances for both revenues and expenses. So, your revenues came in a bit over budget and your expenditures were under budget. uh revenues are mostly over budget due to grant revenue as well as investment income higher than budget. Uh also building permit revenue as well. And then your expenditures are about $40,000 under budget. So really pretty comparable to that final budget. Uh you did have some transfers in from enterprise funds and then transfers out to capital project funds this past year. [3:39] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** So after all that activity, uh your fund balance did increase about $240,000 and that $3.8 million is your year-end general fund uh fund balance. Here we're just looking at your general fund revenues by type over the last three years. So your main revenue sources would be your property tax levy. Intergovernmental revenues which is like your grant revenues. Um miscellaneous revenues are mostly reimbursements and then other revenue sources would be transfers in as well as investment income primarily. Um, so this is just kind of a look at how those amounts have changed over the years. You know, of course, your property tax levy being your main revenue source in your general fund. [4:00] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** And then same format to this graph here, but now we're just looking at your expenditures over the last three years broken out between general government, public safety, public works, culture, and wreck. And then other is mostly your transferred out to other funds. Um, so again, mostly seeing consistency here. Some rising costs in like public safety, general government. A little bit of a decrease this last year in public works and then pretty consistent in other areas. Uh moving on from your general fund, now we're looking at your special revenue funds. So this graph just shows your basically your change in fund balance from 2023 to 2024. Uh the main kind of change over this past year was in your fire department operations fund which had an increase in fund balance of about 85,000. [5:09] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Now looking at your debt service funds. So currently the city has four debt service funds open and this graph just shows you your cash and assets available in each fund as well as the bonds outstanding. And then that bottom graph shows your future 10-year debt service obligation broken out between principal and interest. Uh so one thing to highlight here is that all four of your outstanding bonds will mature uh by 2034 over the next 10 years. Now looking at your capital project funds. So this is the same format as the special revenue fund uh slide. Just looking at your fund balance change between 2023 and 2024 and then just breaking out all your different capital project funds. Um so kind of the main activity this past year in these funds was the 2024 street and utility project as well as your John Burch Park improvement project. Those are kind of the main two projects going on. One thing that city staff will be looking at in 2025 is closing out some of these capital project funds with deficit balances. Uh the municipal reserve fund is your kind of your main capital fund that's been building up a fund balance over the last several years. [6:16] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** So that fund could be used to potentially close out some of these um capital project funds with deficits. Then some of these capital project funds do have future revenue sources coming in that'll pay off most or all the deficit. Moving on to your enterprise funds. So all your enterprise funds will have a similar format slide like this. Top half of the slide, we're looking at your operating activity uh from a cash flow perspective over the last four years. So showing your receipts, disbursements, as well as debt payments. And then the bottom half of the slide shows your cash balance over the last four years. And that black line is what we like to call a minimum target balance. This isn't like a set rule, but this is kind of a industry standard that we think is a good cash level to strive to maintain. [7:03] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Um, so for instance, in the water fund, that would be your following year's debt service costs plus 6 months of operating costs. So what this shows is that your water fund has been, you know, kind of meeting and exceeding that target balance. One thing to keep in mind for enterprise funds as well is that, you know, these funds also need to pay for future capital needs and things of that nature. So it's important to keep a healthy cash balance in these funds. Uh so your sewer fund here um you know same format to this slide showing that operating activity over the last four years as well as the cash balance over the last four years. Uh one thing that looks a little goofy on this slide is that target balance decreased a lot in 2022 and that's because you paid off a PFA loan back in 2021. So your debt payment requirement was reduced a lot a few years ago. [7:50] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Now the ambulance fund um showing again operating activity up top and that cash balance activity over the last four years. You know one thing to point out here on the ambulance fund is that that cash balance did increase a good amount this past year. Big reason for that was the ambulance aid that the city got from the state. That was about $140,000. And then your storm water fund. Um, this fund did have a decent size cash decrease this past year. Um, really due to capital costs related to the 2024 street and utility project. The storm water fund had I think about almost 400,000 I believe of capital costs just related to that project. Still above that target balance. And then here's your recycling fund. So again, same format here showing that operating receipts and disbursements over the last four years. [8:51] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** And the bottom half there shows that cash balance um over the last four years which has been steadily increasing and you're at about $280,000 uh at the year end 2024 there. And then this graph here, we're just looking at the overall picture, your total cash and investments by fund type over the last three years, uh which um you ended 2024 with about $4.2 million in cash. So, here's the key performance indicator section of the presentation. What we're looking at here is the city of Cannon Falls in comparison to class 4 cities, which is cities of population 10,000 or less all across the state. Uh, and then cities in Goodhue County. Uh, we only have the comparison data up until 2022 from the state as well. So, we're kind of we have your data, but we're kind of comparing back a couple years as well here. But this just shows your tax rate as well as your taxes per capita. [10:13] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** So, what this graph is showing is that your tax rate um is probably about average with class 4 cities and a little bit below the average with Goodhue County. Uh and then taxes per capita, you're probably right at the average with Goodhue County and a little bit above the class 4 statewide average. And now here we're just looking at debt per capita. So, same format to this graph comparing uh Cannon Falls with Goodhue County as well as class 4 cities. Uh so, your debt per capita has been steadily decreasing the last 5 years. You're probably below both averages in those peer groups if we trend that out. Uh and then this slide just shows your current expenses per capita. So, like your operating um expenses per capita um and then your capital expenses per capita. So the capital expenses being things like project costs, big equipment purchases, things of that nature. So 2024 was the busiest capital um year in the last 5 years. Then your current you've been pretty in line with those peer groups. And that's my last slide. So we'll open up for any questions or comments related to the audit. [10:58] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** John, any questions? Uh no questions. I I want to thank Tyler and the team for the work that they did and especially the rest of the admin and finance team for the work that they did because a lot of that has a lot of the information that they use to present this audit comes from them. It's a ton of work. Um, and just very happy and pleased with the results getting the unmodified clean opinion as well as no uh you know findings of corrections and uh that internal I've worked for three different cities in 15 years and every single year in every single audit the internal control finding comes up. So I can actually attest that that is a very common common finding that you see in city audit reports. [11:45] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** So, um I think we're in a really good strong financial position. It's this document has been really helpful for me um in kind of framing up and talking about our budget and future planning and where we want to go with different things. um you know seeing the trend lines of that debt service going down that's been really um that really puts us in a great position moving forward because you know it gives us either capacity to do kind of more or as you know if the trend in practice and the decision is that the council wants to move that way you know paying cash for projects is you know puts some things within reach, not all but some. Um so it's really and I was going even farther back than the five-year trends that they're showing. But, you know, this city has come a long ways, very long ways in terms of its management of debt over that time. So, so kudos to to those that came before me to, you know, to get themselves into this position today. [12:58] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Questions, comments from the council? I know I told Ryan I try not to ask any questions but on the debt service page. Yep. You can just quickly the difference between total cash, total assets, bonds outstanding. [13:15] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Yep. So total cash is just your cash balance in the fund. Assets would be really cash plus other assets like mostly receivables. So, like special assessment receivables are going to be coming in to support those bond payments is probably what those are for. Um, but if we here I could actually just show you exactly what it is. [13:36] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Well, I'm just trying to figure out if like on the first line we've got 714,000 cash and the outstanding bond is 690. [13:46] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Oh, yep. Yeah. So, there's one one factor in that with bonds. There's uh callable dates. So you can't So certain certain bonds we cannot prepay until the callable date hits. Okay. Um I don't know what the 16A1 is. Um I don't know the callable date on that first one. I assume it's eligible to be called just based on its age. [14:04] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** 2018A is callable next year in February. And then the 2018 doesn't have a callable date, but there's only four payments left. That's for a piece of fire equipment. And then the 2020 is callable in February 2029. And uh that one since it was a in trying to help understand where those dollars came from. Every year in the budget, there's a schedule for your debt service and it explains kind of where the revenues, pledged revenues are going to come from to pay each annual payment. Um it is essentially a loan. You just pay it once a year. So the way the schedules on the three improvement ones and the refunding is typically it comes from the tax levy. So that's part of the levy. Um it comes from special assessments which are incorporated in there. So those special assessments are usually built into the properties that are adjacent to the project over 15 years. [15:06] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** Um some people just choose to pay them annually as they are that accrue a little bit of interest each year with those payments. So that's why you see it as an asset extended out for a period of time. However, some people pay them upfront so they don't have to pay any interest and then that's just cash on hand um for the project. So that's why you can see the cash balances building up kind of early because you do tend to get a good chunk of people that pay those assessments off early. Uh even when properties sell, that's a typical time when they get paid off. So the seller or the buyers, you know, come to an agreement that somebody's going to pay the assessment. The other interesting thing and and we this hasn't this is this has been done here for a while. Um it wasn't done in my previous city until the last couple years, but um you'll take improvement projects and actually split out some of those costs between the water, sewer, and storm water funds because there are those elements of that enterprise fund within that project. [15:52] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** So um you know, you're doing work on on putting in sewer pipes, water pipes, and and storm water. So there's pledged revenues from those funds to pay the bond each year. So you kind of tally up all those things and that's what comes up to that to that fund payment. Um and you know some with with the assessments if they're prepaid then you tend to build up a bit of a cash balance. Sometimes they've been refinanced or you take other funds resources from other funds to kind of you know fund that early on so you have a good balance in there so you're never you know moving money right before a debt service payment a bond payment because the big the principal payments due in February and then there's a second interest payment due in August. [16:29] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** But the 2020 is the interesting one when I saw the audit report and looking at that and it's and it might give us some interesting opportunities. And I'll certainly want to talk to Tyler more about it, but seeing how much is in there and what is outstanding, um, you know, because it was refinanced, I think they pulled together some of different bonds and what was left in those to kind of, uh, you know, put that fund together. So you do have the opportunity to kind of look at what are the revenues coming into that and what are the planned revenues coming in in the future and modify them depending on you know what's what's necessary to pay that bond payment every year. So, you know, if there is excess cash in there, it might reduce our obligations in future years from that schedule. So, so that does help us out, but we do have to pay a bond payment for the next, you know, four years because it's not callable until 2029. [17:52] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Any other questions from the council? Thank you, Tyler. We appreciate you. [18:03] **Tyler C. (ABDO Audit Manager):** Yep. Thanks for having me. Have a great meeting. [18:06] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All right. Oh, you do technically accept actionable item. Yep. Okay. Yep. Uh I would seek a motion to approve our 2024 audit. [18:13] **Ryan Jeppesen (Council Member):** So moved. [18:14] **Chad Johnson (Council Member):** Second. [18:15] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Motion from Jeppesen, second from Chad. All those in favor? I Opposed. That carries. Thanks again, Tyler. All right, that gets us on to the consent agenda. Consent agenda items may be adopted under one motion as presented or may be removed for discussion resolution as council business. Item A, the adjust and correct claims for the accounting period ending on May 29th, 2025. Item B, meeting minutes for May 20th, 2025 City Council work session. Item C, meeting minutes for the May 20th, 2025 city council meeting. Item D, approve the disposal of ambulance 3 chassis. And item E, approve additional 2025 pool staff. Is there any consent agenda item the council would like to pull down? Hearing none, I would seek a motion to approve tonight's consent agenda. [18:56] **Lisa Zimmerman (Council Member):** Motion to approve. [18:57] **Chris Nobach (Council Member):** Second. [18:58] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All those in favor? I Oppose. Carries. Gets us to council business. Uh, professional service agreement with WHKS for our 2026 street and utility improvements. John. [19:07] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** Thank you, Mayor. Um, I do have Bill Angerman here and I will turn it over to him to kind of explain what the memo is and what the need for this feasibility report is for upcoming projects. [19:22] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** Thanks, John. Thank you, Mayor. Well, that's a great segue uh into some financing and some discussions. So, uh the feasibility report is really the first step in a process uh I'm sorry, the first step in the process for a project. So, just to step back a little bit, uh in 2023, uh we had a number of things in this area that we were looking at. So, for those our older council members or council members that have been here, we had a sewer bridge across the river. Uh we also had Cannon Street. Uh we also had third street, fourth street and Ohio. So in those streets we had our old sewer, old water main and some drainage problems. [20:36] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** So what the council set in motion back in 2023 was that we would break, well at the time we thought we're going to break it up into two projects. We ultimately ended up breaking up into three projects because we still had some COVID related issues for ordering controls and equipment for a lift station that was put in. But ultimately we broke it up into the 23-24 street project with the intent to come back in 2026 uh to finish that portion of the project north of Dakota up to Washington. So where Cannon Equipment is, it's really fourth street but you could call it their parking lot. So it was to uh replace the sewer and water in fourth street and then install or continue installing storm sewer and then also doing Ohio Street. So what this feasibility report does is it goes over the costs but more importantly it lays out the assessment process and the assessment steps. [21:22] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** So uh the city of Cannon Falls does assess for improvements. Uh so this report will lay that out. It'll also help John and the council you guys uh as far as how you're going to pay for this, all the things we just talked about. Are you going to cash or bond or a combination, the assessment amounts etc. Uh that'll all culminate towards the end of the summer beginning of the fall. uh we will come back with a feasibility report and then we'll begin the assessment process. So Matt, you've uh I think you've lived through the most of them so far. Uh but that's a real prescriptive process where we follow statute and that starts off with a public hearing where the public will be able to give their input and their input will be what I call the thumbs up or thumbs down should we move forward with a project and then you'll decide to move forward with that. [22:06] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** If you decide to move forward, then you will authorize final design with the intent that we would design the project over the fall and winter uh with a bid to occur next spring. Then we'll repeat the process on the assessments because then we'll have actual prices and we'll know what assessments are uh with the intent to build in 2026. So what this agreement does here is it authorizes that first step. So with that, I'll pause and questions or comments? [22:15] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** None. Diane, it looks like you got—I can tell. [22:20] **Diane Johnson (Council Member):** I just wondered is this the only street project that we're planning for next year? [22:28] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** Yes. Yeah. So, in terms as far as reconstructing. Yeah. [22:34] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** Still do an overlay because that's a separate fund. So, yeah. To just reiterate that yes, this is where you're digging down, changing the sewer pipes in certain areas, full reconstruction of the streets. We do milling overlays or other street patching work that's budgeted through a different fund. Um that's where those second projects that we just approved recently or or got bids for recently like that will um that was out of budgeted resources that we had. [22:52] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Bill, would you say that this project is a higher priority because of its connection to the previous work that was done? Like you said, the the sewer that used to be a bridge that got bored underneath and then the lift station. I remember the drainage of Ohio. Yep. Doesn't drain real well. Yep. We had some problems in the area. We had some water main breaks. Fact that this is attached to those, does that make it a higher priority than than starting a new project somewhere else? [23:07] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** I would think so. Um, yeah, there's a little bit of subjectivity, but yes, I think it's it's a higher priority because of that. Yeah. [23:13] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Okay. Any other questions? Uh, I assume this is an actionable item that we need to—tonight is just the approval to uh say that uh we agree the professional service agreement starts the process. Yes. All right. [23:25] **Diane Johnson (Council Member):** I would. [23:26] **Lisa Zimmerman (Council Member):** Second. [23:27] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Motion from Diane. Second from Lisa. All those in favor? I I opposed carries. Thank you, Bill. [23:36] **Maggie (Chamber of Commerce):** Thank you, mayor. All right. Good evening, Mayor and Council. Um, it's been a while, so I just wanted to say thank you to Council Member Nobach because I know one time I heard you um provide some updates that I had sent out in the newsletter. So, thank you for doing that. Um, just wanted to remind everybody we have summer kickoff this Thursday from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. So, we kind of took um open air fair, which is what they did during COVID, and then Funfest and kind of threw them together to create a larger event. So, um we'll have vendors on Fourth Street and then on Mill Street there'll be a couple vendors, but then um that'll be like our food trucks. [24:50] **Maggie (Chamber of Commerce):** We'll have a bunch of activities. The fire department will be there. They're going to do fire safety and s'mores. Um, police department is having the seat belt convincer coming. We'll have a rock climbing wall. I think there'll be a dunk tank, a kids zone. Um, humane society dairy princesses fair is going to be there raffling off tickets for wristbands. Um, a bunch of fun activities and then there'll be live music as well. Um, and then we have a balloon artist coming also. So, and then, um, new this year, we actually are going to extend it a little bit onto the east side of Mill Street. So, in front of the library, um the library is going to have they're coordinating with Art Org to have a little event outside of the library on Thursday night, too. [25:35] **Maggie (Chamber of Commerce):** So, just a reminder to the public also that there's no parking um from Mill Street to about Tilian up into the library. Um part there will be parking on Fourth Street though, so just heads up there. Um upcoming events, the Cannon Valley Trail is having their open house this Saturday. That's from 11 to 2 at the Welch station and they have music. Um, everyone gets to ride for free that day and then Ferndale turkey samples. I don't know if you know Ferndale will be there with some samples. Um, and I always keep I try to keep my community calendar updated. So, if I miss something, it should be on our community calendar. And as always, if there's an event that needs to be put on there, let me know. [26:39] **Maggie (Chamber of Commerce):** Um, chamber golf tournament is June 23rd. We're still accepting teams for that. So, if anybody's interested, reach out to me or look on the chamber website for more information. The kiosks, the um large map kiosks that we put up at city parking lot, at the trail head, at the gazebo, and then at the Bob Gorman rest stop are up. Um and they're just a nice tool that we can provide for our visitors so they know where to go and what to see and do while in Cannon Falls. Um flower baskets are up. They look really nice this year. So, thank you to public works for all the work that they put into that. They put them up and then they water them every single day of the week throughout the summer. So, thank you guys for doing that and all the sponsors. We've had a lot of flower basket sponsors this year. So, appreciate that. And then I think that's it. Actually, that's all I have on my list. So, any questions? [27:03] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** How are the uh signs coming for like pointing at things? [27:06] **Maggie (Chamber of Commerce):** Oh, the wayfinding signs. Yep. So, we applied for a couple grants. Unfortunately, didn't get both grants. We just got one. So now we're trying to figure out kind of our next steps there. So working with a company to get a new quote. Um and Jed and I are working together to figure out what to do now. So they're in the works. [27:25] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Cool. Yeah. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Maggie. Uh Joint Powers Trail Board. Any updates there? [27:37] **Council Member:** Uh we switched our meeting to Thursdays, the fourth Thursday. [27:41] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All right. Uh we'll go around the horn, Jed. [27:42] **Jed Petersen (Public Works Director):** Uh first off, uh public works park board meeting is being pushed back to June 12th rather than this Thursday. Um just make sure everybody knows the new date. So um and then I feel feel like kind of a broken record. We're just wrapping up projects doing finishing up all the the checklist items. Uh Fourth Street—not Fourth Street, Cannon and Third Street. Well, I don't know where Fourth Street came from. Um we should be gearing up to uh do the final lift uh here in the next few weeks. They're just, you know, the iron have been brought up and we're driving around those. Same with Hardwood Estates. So just wrapping up those and John Burch Park. Um got a little uh looks like uh Blake Burrow brought in some more top soil to fill in some of the low spots on the ball field. Just trying to get some grass to grow. Yep. So other than that. [28:34] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All right, thanks Jed. Bill. [28:34] **Bill Angerman (City Engineer):** Um, nothing additional, mayor, unless you have any questions. [28:38] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** I think we're good. All right. Thank you. Go, Chief. [28:40] **Jeff McCormick (Police Chief):** Well, I don't know if anybody else is finding it harder to believe, but we're already in June. Um, so the police department, we're already starting to do our planning for the fair. Um, so that's will be underway in just a month and a day. Um, if that. So, uh, lots of things going on. Um, with that, uh, more will come out at the next meeting just reminding people of some of the parade route and no parking restrictions and stuff. [29:13] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All right. Thanks, Chief. Sarah, John. [29:16] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** uh, I got a few things and I'll, uh, give just to help Laura out because she's out today uh, working in another community. So, EDA meeting will be this Thursday at 3:30. Um then uh I wanted to talk and and I shared some of this with the council in an email. Um but we did receive a development application from Tractel. So the um and the landowners there uh via Kimley Horn, their their consultants. So so that does start uh some of our conversations for what we need to do in that development. Um up there is a new link up to date on the city's website uh for an FAQ uh on that. So that those FAQ answers have been provided by Tractel there. I will be developing um or we will be developing one for the city's portion of that like what are our decision-makings, what are our authorities, you know, some of those things that the city has responsibility over. [30:45] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** Uh we do need to uh get moving with the township in terms of the annexation uh you know the the process for that and annexing the portion of Randolph Township that will be um used for the project. Uh then next week uh we do have planning commission meeting on Monday the 9th. Um and then at that meeting, uh right now the only items I have on the agenda are discussing the development application, kind of the process for that as well as an initial or an application for an ordinance amendment uh for gravel driveways. I've talked to the to the applicant. They only want this at this point to be a discussion item. So, we do need to um I do need to provide the extension because there's a timeline requirement from the date of the application between the final decision and we'll likely need to move the meeting in July back to align with decision-making of council versus uh some things with planning commission related potentially to the annexation. [31:31] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** So um to in order to meet that deadline, we do need to u provide that extension for that decision which the applicant is already indicated that they're fine with. And then just lastly, uh our position that we have available, full-time position that we have available for the license and permit tech, we um have had one interview already and another scheduled this week. So um not a ton of applicants, but really pleased with the quality of the applicants that we have received. um some very um you know good good alignment in terms of education and experience for for the ones that we're interviewing. [31:54] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Great. Good news. Thanks, John. Chris, Alan, Ryan. [31:59] **Chris Nobach (Council Member):** what are we doing about the Fourth of July meeting or will it be July 1st or 2nd? [32:13] **Jon Radermacher (City Administrator):** In the past, have we just skipped the first meeting and then have one meeting in mid July, third week depending on when the holiday falls? I think in terms of some of the big decision stuffs that things that we have if we—unless we don't have a quorum—I would probably want us to host a meeting just to be able to discuss things. It doesn't—currently on the schedule there isn't a major decision on that meeting date for the council related to Tractel. July 1—Tuesday the 1st. [32:37] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Does that—I'm glad you brought it up. Does that affect anybody else's schedule? Will we be around on Tuesday, July 1, Diane? [32:41] **Diane Johnson (Council Member):** I will. [32:43] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Yeah. So, we will have a quorum. Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Anything else, Jeff? [32:48] **Jeff McCormick (Police Chief):** Oh. All right. [32:51] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Diane, Lisa, Chad. [33:14] **Chad Johnson (Council Member):** um, couple things. Uh, when you're talking the third street, fourth street, are those getting them around the manholes, finishing that up? That should be soon. Okay. cuz yeah, those just kind of suck to drive by. Um, and the other thing I I guess I think it was around the time COVID started, we stopped doing the Cannon community television as much as we used to. Um, where we'd, you know, record not just like football games, but I think we could use, if we were to bring some of that back, it could put a light on some of the good things that are going on in the community and the school. Uh, we've got people, the dance team was really good for a lot of years. We've got wrestlers that have gone to state. Football's always awesome. Like, I don't know. But just to get a conversation going, there's a lot of good things and our budgets looking good. If it's just something we want to consider because we've already got a lot of the resources, we're just not using them. [34:02] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** As as you suggest that we could always call for a cable commission meeting because it uh I realized that it's been years now, but the cable commission used to meet uh basically as as needed for goods and the setup and and uh for events. It was more people that were I think volunteering their time and helping out. So if you uh I think that's a good suggestion. [34:19] **Chad Johnson (Council Member):** I would like to—I'm on the cable commission and we're just not doing anything and I think it's an unused resource right now. [34:25] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** All right. So fair enough, Chad. Good suggestion. Uh, anything else? That's it. All right. Uh, I'll be quick, but I just want to say congratulations to everybody that graduated this year. There have already been some uh parties. The graduation, I think, was uh Friday night. Um, so congratulations to all the graduates. Uh, wish them the best moving on, but also uh to all the parents and teachers that are ready for summer. Uh, it's kind of a change of—people need to be aware that there's a lot more foot traffic downtown. The town feels different in summer than it does in the school year. And there will be lots of uh kids, bikes, foot traffic downtown. Uh when the sun is out, the kids are out and that's great. The pool, I know they're going through training right now. So, there's going to be kids all across town, and that's wonderful. We love to see it busy. We love to see everybody out and about, but we just need to uh slow it down, enjoy summer when it's here. So, uh congratulations to the teachers and all the students. Uh, with that I would seek a motion to adjourn. [35:26] **Lisa Zimmerman (Council Member):** Motion. [35:28] **Ryan Jeppesen (Council Member):** Second. [35:32] **Matt Montgomery (Mayor):** Motion from Lisa. Second from Jeppesen. All those in favor? I opposed. We're adjourned. Thank you everybody.
