From YouTube: City Council Meeting - 8/19/19
Description
City of Austin, Minnesota
D
I've
got
my
partner
in
crime
here,
Adam
King
Adam
is
the
district
manager
with
the
Dodge
Water
Conservation
District,
so
it
together
really
tag-team
this
a
little
bit
tonight.
But
we
want
to
give
you
guys
an
update
on
the
watershed
planning
project
that
we've
been
doing
in
cooperation
with
the
city
of
Austin
and
I.
Think
we
talked
just
a
little
bit
about
this
a
few
months
ago,
but
we're
advanced
far
enough
in
into
the
planning
process.
Now
we're
actually
in
kind
of
the
final
stages
and
taking
comments.
D
Public
comments,
we're
just
going
to
give
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
on
that,
and
then
we
had
some
other
updates
I
think
that
will
will
kind
of
be
able
to
tie
into
at
the
end
we're
just
gonna.
Take
a
few
minutes.
I
understand
you've
got
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
tonight,
but
just
a
quick
overview.
The
idea
that
we'll
we'll
take
some
questions
at
the
end
so
Adams
just
going
to
give
you
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
planning
process.
E
F
E
For
the
one
Watership
one
planned
for
the
Cedar
River,
and
so
if
you
go
back
to
kind
of
what
water
planning
used
to
be
really,
it
was
done
on
planned
on
County
boundaries
right
and
so
what
this
process
is
really
doing
is
kind
of
going
beyond
the
county
boundaries
and
going
up
into
Dodge
and
going
over
in
Freeborn
and
making
one
plan
for
the
whole
watershed
area.
And
traditionally
it's
really
been
more
of
a
Soil
and
Water
Conservation
District.
E
So
we
invited
you
guys
to
be
a
part
of
the
planning
process
and
we've
asked
you
guys
if
you
wanted
to
appoint
one
of
your
council
members
to
the
policy
committee
similar
to
what
our
supervisors
and
what
the
commissioners
have
been
doing,
and
you
guys
appointed
Steve
King
back
probably
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
we
started
the
planning
process
well,
the
plant
is
starting
to
wrap
up
and
get
complete,
so
I
have
a
copy
here.
If
you
any
of
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
it.
E
You're,
more
than
welcome
to
the
plant
is
also
hosted
on
the
lower
Soil
and
Water
Conservation
District
website,
so
I
just
kind
of
want
to
go
through
the
plan.
Hopefully
pretty
quick
with
you,
and
if
you
had
any
questions
you
can
ask
them
along
the
way,
so
the
plane
really
starts
out
pretty
comprehensive.
E
What
do
you
call
it
inventory
of
the
watershed
room
right?
It
goes
through
all
the
water
resources
goes
through
kind
of
the
soil
types
and
the
topography.
It
goes
through
the
water
quality
of
the
county,
the
entire
watershed,
and
it
goes
through
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
not
plans,
but
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
we
has
already
been
done
in
the
watershed
kind
of
moving
on
into
Section
four,
we
went
through
an
extensive
prioritization
process.
E
All
kinda
took
a
look
at
those
eight
priorities
and
ranked
them
all
II,
and
what
ken
came
up
with
was
tiered
amount
into
three
separate
tiers,
Tier,
one
tier
two
and
Tier
three
priorities.
What
came
in
Tier
one
priorities
really
was
the
accelerated
erosion
and
sedimentation
the
surface
water
quality
degradation,
excessive
flooding
and
water
can
groundwater
contamination?
All
three
are
all
four
of
those
were
in
the
Tier
one
priorities.
E
Next
was
tier
two
priorities:
degraded
soil
health
and
threatened
a
groundwater
supply
trying
to
make
sure
that
there's
going
to
be
enough,
groundwater
sustained
and
he
sorted
drinking
or
any
groundwater
needs
the
last.
The
Tier
three
priorities
were
really
fish
and
wildlife,
habitat
and
reduced
livability.
E
Next
was
targeting
areas
so
now
that
we
have
those
priorities
that
have
identified,
we
were
going
to
identify
areas
that
we
should
start
implementing
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
will
be
associated
with
the
plan
and
where
we're
going
to
be
implementing
those
right.
And
so
we
have
a
large
watershed
area
and
we're
we're
in
the
watershed.
E
Er
we're
going
to
focus
our
efforts
out
and
that
really
took
us
into
you
know:
taking
a
look
at
ground
water,
priority
areas
and
anything
with
within
a
stream
impairment
and
some
of
those
hot
spots
over
kinda
by
Lake
Geneva
and
then
even
like
around
the
City
of
Austin.
There's
some
really
good
groundwater
hotspots
that
we're
gonna
focus
our
priorities
on
and
there's
some
really
good
maps
in
the
plan.
E
We
can
take
a
look
at
those
at
any
time
if
you
want
to
as
well,
and
then
chapter
7
really
is
the
final
part
and
how
we're
actually
going
to
implement
the
plan.
Taking
a
look
at
our
efforts
for
projects
practices,
how
those
are
going
to
be
implemented,
taking
a
look
at
any
of
the
education
outreach
activities
and
how
those
are
going
to
be
implemented
and
some
of
the
other
regulatory
activities
and
how
those
need
to
be
implemented
as
well.
E
So
the
plan
really
covers
an
extensive
array
about
everything
and
and
Bowser
is
going
to
be
taking
a
look
at
it.
The
board
of
water
and
soil
resources
is
going
to
be
taking
a
look
at
it
coming
up
here
in
the
near
future.
Next
steps
that
we
have
for
the
plan
state
agencies
as
have
already
kind
of
taken
a
look
at
the
plan
and
have
commented
on
it.
The
next
step
is,
we
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
on
it,
so
that
public
hearing
is
yet
to
be.
Our
policy
committee
is
going
to
meet.
E
The
next
meeting
is
going
to
be
on
the
4th
and
they're
going
to
establish
that
public
hearing
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
outreach
activities
trying
to
advertise
for
that
public
hearing
and
take
any
input
that
the
public
or
anybody
else
that
may
have
for
the
plan.
After
that,
then
we're
gonna
submit
it
to
the
board
of
water
and
soil
resources.
Well,
they'll
they'll
take
a
look
at
it
and
hopefully
approve
it
within
their
90-day
time
frame.
E
Once
that
happens
e,
it's
going
to
come
back
to
us
and
you
guys
and
the
City
of
Austin,
then
we'll
take
a
look
at
the
plan
and
they'll
adopt
it
as
their
own
plan
as
well
their
own
comprehensive
watershed
management
plan.
The
same
thing
is
going
to
happen
with
maui
county
Ammar,
swcd's
same
thing
with
Dodge
County,
digest
wcv
and
Freeborn
County
and
Freeborn
swcd's,
as
well
as
the
watershed
districts,
Turtle
Creek
watershed
district
and
the
Cedar
River
watershed
district.
D
What
it
really
means
you
know,
cities
typically
don't
have
comprehensive
watershed
management
plans.
You
guys
have
a
number
of
different
plans
that
you
do
throughout
the
year,
but
but
you
haven't
been
involved
with
with
water
plans,
and
so
it
brings
you,
together
with
the
water
plants,
are
going
on
right
now
in
in
the
watershed,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
this
means
is.
It
means
additional
resources
that
we
can
leverage
back
down
here
to
help
do
projects
that
impact
the
community.
D
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
working
on
we've
for
the
Soil
and
Water
Conservation
District
for
a
number
of
years
is
his
projects
that
are
upstream,
not
necessarily
in
Austin
but
close
to
Austin,
or
we
worked
with
you
in
another
capacity
on
projects
when,
when
we
were
working
with
a
foundation
on
a
identifying
sub
projects
upstream,
that
would
actually
keep
the
waters
cleaner,
that
are
in
the
community
of
Austin.
So
we've
we've
had
a
couple
focus
areas
that
we've
been
working
on
and
just
an
illustration
of
how
this
impacts
the
city
right.
D
We've
worked
with
the
Department
of
Natural
Resources
over
the
last
couple
years
to
try
to
make
our
case
that
we're
doing
enough
water
quality
improvement
on
Wolf
Creek,
which
is
the
stream
that
comes
through
tide,
Park,
that
we've
made
strides
and
we're
making
an
impact
on
on
that
part
of
the
watershed.
So
we
could
support
trout,
fishing
in
that
particular
stream,
and
that's
been
a
goal
of
the
district,
and
to
do
that,
you
have
to
make
a
case
for
yourself.
D
You
have
to
prove
that
you're
taking
measures
to
protect
the
land
and
that
the
the
resource
is
going
to
be
is
going
to
support
trout.
As
you
guys
know,
we
live
in
pretty
heavily
agricultural
community
and
so
we're
having
to
balance.
You
know
the
the
great
things
that
come
with
having
a
good
egg
recovery
community
with
some
of
the
water
quality
issues,
and
so
we've
had
landowners
that
are
stepped
up
and
participated
in
programs
that
are
protecting
the
watershed.
D
D
We
think,
a
great
community
project
for
the
community,
the
kids
and
and
all
the
folks
that
that
kind
of
enjoy
natural
resources-
and
that
came
in
part
because
we
had
a
commitment
to
water,
resource
issues
upstream
and
so
I
think
it's
a
great
credit
and
the
watershed
planning
process.
Just
for
you.
Just
for
your
yeah.
There.
G
D
Not
big
communities
that
are
part
of
this
planning
process,
I
think
that
was
forward-thinking
of
Austin
to
get
involved
with
this.
This
project
and
I'm
not
from
here
I'm
much
I'm
a
transplant,
but
for
any
of
you
that
have
heard
me
talked
ever,
he
heard
me
say:
Austin
is
a
special
area.
Our
our
community
is
a
special
area
where
especially
a
natural
resource
work.
This
is
a
very
forward-thinking
area
and
I
think
it's
it's
reflected
really
well
in
the
opportunity
that
we
had.
D
H
B
D
Think
the
resource
will
extend
beyond
there.
It's
just
the
access.
The
immediate
access
will
be
in
the
park
right
because
I
think
that
there
there's
a
lot
of
public
property
on
either
side
of
the
park.
So
that's
why
the
city
is
so
important
to
making
this
successful,
because
a
lot
of
the
fishing
is
gonna
actually
take
place
in
Todd
Park,
where.
G
D
Not
immediately,
no
we're
gonna
need
some
help,
but
through
stocking,
but
we've
got
a
commitment
from
them
to
to
start
stocking
mature
fish
right
away,
so
it
wouldn't
have
to
be
we're.
Not
just
gonna
get
little
ones
that
we
gotta
wait
a
few
years
from
to
take
off
either
they're
gonna,
it's
going
to
be
a
put
and
take
so
they'll
put
them
in.
We
can
start
fishing
right
away
and
then
it'll
be
something
we
continue
to
monitor
over
time.
If
we
can
support
smaller
fish,
you
know,
hopefully
we
continue
the
work.
B
D
B
I
Just
want
to
comment
that
I
commend
you
on
the
work
that
you
do.
Not
only
do
you
get
to
work
with
farmers
and
private
landowners,
you
also
get
to
work
with
units
of
government
and
the
DNR
over
projects
that
are
years
long
and
so
that
by
definition,
takes
a
lot
of
perseverance
and
a
lot
of
bringing
people
together,
and
it's
really
important
work
like
you
said.
If
you
stop
your
watershed
planning
at
a
county
boundary,
it's
pretty
hard
to
get
get
big
change
through.
So
I
really
appreciate
what
you
guys
do
and
Austin
is
different.
I
K
K
No
cost,
but
could
recoup
costs
as
well
depending
upon
the
final
sale,
the
property?
Our
tax
abatement
policy
doesn't
allow
any
other
financial
incentives,
but
I
think
it's
our
opinion
that
this
would
still
be
consistent
with
our
policy.
It's
a
$200,000
project-
and
this
is
a
public
hearing,
wait
request
approval
of
the
Bateman.
K
L
Is
to
continue
at
dis,
September.
Third,
they
were
still
working
on
the
title
in
the
county
and
the
school
have
continued
their
hearings
to
just
so.
We
don't
have
additional
publication
require
costs
when
at
the
time,
when
they're
ready
so
we'll
just
keep
continuing
it
to
save
us.
Some
cost
on
the
road.
B
K
Right
members,
this
is
the
proposed
56
unit
Hotel,
which
requires
a
five
point:
eight
million
dollars
of
improvement.
Looking
in
the
downtown
area,
the
county
and
school
district
have
considered
this
in
their
public
hearings
and,
unfortunately,
turned
the
proposal
down.
The
city's
portion
would
be
capped
at
$85,000.
This
is
an
overall
requested
abatement
of
$200,000.
The
Port
Authority
agreement
required
all
three
taxing
jurisdictions
to
participate.
K
So
should
council
approve
this,
we
would
need
to
see
if
the
Port
Authority
were
willing
to
reconsider
or
otherwise
would
fail
for
lack
of
satisfying
the
development
agreement,
and
the
payback
of
all
three
entities
were
to
participate
was
two
point.
Eight
years
we
have
some
focus
on
the
downtown.
There's
been
some
concern
about
participating
in
this
project.
When
other
hotels
in
the
community
we
had
have
had
specific
focus
on
facade
improvements
in
the
downtown.
K
We
haven't
obviously
done
that
in
other
areas,
some
of
the
recognition
from
the
downtown
master
plan
call
out
a
hotel
for
the
downtown
area
with
interest
in
promoting
that
and
is
consistent
with
our
comprehensive
plan.
This
helps
with
the
vibrancy
of
the
downtown
I.
Think
there's
auxilary
benefits
to
the
rec
center
that
we
have
coming
forward.
Our
hockey
arenas,
the
bruins
downtown
and
certainly
the
Paramount,
so
Craig
William
is
here
this
evening
and
he'd
like
to
address
the
council,
and
this
is
a
public
hearing
great.
M
Mayor
City
Council,
my
name
is
Craig
Wong
and
I'm
here
to
represent
the
Morricone
Development
Group
I.
Think
I
made
presentations
to
you
before
in
regards
to
the
proposed
development
wanted
to
just
give
me
a
brief
update
as
far
as
where
we
are
at
with
the
project,
as
mr.
Clark
said,
went
through
a
number
of
meetings
with
both
the
school
district
and
the
county
tried
to
pursue
tax
abatement
and
both
of
those
groups
denied
that
that
request,
some
things
we've
been
doing
since
we
last
met.
M
We
revisited
our
feasibility
study
with
our
consultants
when
that
document
was
originally
drafted.
It
did
include
in
with
the
calculations
that
there
would
be
an
additional
hotel
built
in
Ostend,
but
even
with
that,
we
had
our
consultant
revisit
all
his
calculations
and
that
outcome
stated
that
it
would
be
project
for
downtown
Austin.
M
If
you
look
at
other
projects
like
what
the
Main
Street
project
I
think,
as
of
2014,
there
was
about
a
million
dollars
invested
into
the
downtown,
with
storefront
improvements
and
a
lot
of
those
improvements.
Most
of
them
I.
Think
50
percent
of
those
improvements
were
subsidized
from
one
way
or
another.
M
With
our
requested
tax
abatement,
we
are
looking
at
strictly
site
improvements.
Any
building
that
would
be
built
on
that
site
would
have
to
have
these
soil
Corrections
done.
If
you
look
at
the
guidelines
for
approving
tax
abatements,
that,
specifically,
you
know
to
improve
blighted
areas
of
the
community,
whether
it's
tearing
down
structures
which
has
already
been
done
on
the
site
or
soil
Corrections,
it's
just
an
extra
cost
for
the
development
and
the
development
team
would
like
to
move
forward
with
the
project
even
with
the
denial
of
the
economy
in
the
school.
M
M
M
Otherwise,
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
other
questions
you
know
and
if
you
look
at
tax
abatement
like
in
the
year
2018
in
the
state
of
Minnesota,
there
was
a
hundred
sixteen
actions
made
by
colonies:
cities
in
school
districts
to
approve
tax
abatement
projects
totaling
over
sixteen
million
dollars.
So
it
is
a
widely
used
subsidy
in
the
state,
the
holiday
in
Austin.
What
supported
by
a
TIF
district
that
probably
went
on
for
20
years,
whereas
before
just
something
to
usually.
B
M
J
M
J
N
M
B
M
J
Mean
I'd
say
from
my
perspective,
you
know
downtown's
unique
in
that
it
drives
people
into
the
heart
of
the
city.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
conversations
I
have
with
people
who
come
to
visit
Hormel
on
business
who
have
never
seen
anything
of
the
city
other
than
Jimmy
John's
and
the
Holiday
Inn
in
fact
we're
full
from
a
hotel
perspective.
Most
of
the
time
now
and
people
end
up
being
staying
over
in
Rochester,
which
just
pins
me
to
here
and
from
an
economic
standpoint.
J
You
know
we
give
a
an
abatement,
we
get
that
feedback
essentially
within
three
years
and
then
into
perpetuity.
We've
got
a
six
million
dollar
plus
building,
so
I
would
say
from
a
city
/
standpoint
from
my
standpoint,
I'm
very
supportive
of
it.
Obviously
there's
other
conversations.
You
know
from
a
financing
in
a
building
standpoint,
but
it
seems
perfect
to
drive
folks
into
downtown
Austin
I.
Think
it's
a
relatively
minimal
investment
from
a
city
standpoint
and
it's
got
a
positive
economic
return,
which
is
what
we're
supposed
to
do.
The.
B
You
know
we
don't
see
that
development,
it's
gonna,
be
sort
of
developed
it,
but
I
think
something
like
is
a
good
fit
and
it
would
help
further
development
on
the
road.
Obviously
so
I'm
happy
for
people
I
think
this
is
fly-by-night
thing.
That's
been
going
on
for
two
years,
probably
working
on
this
project,
so.
N
All
right,
I
guess
and
all
the
Main
Street
project
granted
we've
invested
a
lot
of
money
on
Main
Street,
but
I
think
that's
upgrade
buildings
and
storefronts
and
it
doesn't
create
a
competitive
advantage,
one
way
or
the
other
for
those
businesses
that
have
participated
in
that
program.
That
I
can
see
where
we've
got
other
projects
in
town
hotel
projects,
specifically
the
granted
they're
not
downtown,
but
they're,
building
on
their
own,
their
own
financing,
with
no
concessions
from
the
city
and
so
I'm
kind
of
hard-pressed
to
you
know,
as
mr.
N
Baskin
mentioned,
I
think
there
is
a
need
for
the
rooms
and
if
there
is
a
need
for
the
rooms,
then
there
should
be
financing
brought
forward
from
the
Financial
Group
or
be
able
to
get
backing
without
having
to
come
to
the
city
like
these.
Other
projects
have
done
so
I'm
kind
of
questioning
whether
we
need
I.
I
I
B
And
if
they
want
to
build
a
hotel
downtown,
we
talked
to
them
about
yeah,
so
I'm
helping
they
want
to
build
a
hotel
by
the
post
office.
We've
talked
oh
yeah.
If
you
know
scenario
other
things
we
can
direct
and
help
do
something
with
an
area.
We're
not
just
all
tell
it's
a
magnet
to
help
build
the
area
at
that
point.
I
think
I
believe
be
willing
to
help
I'd
be
well
an
ALP,
a
lot
of
different
people,
so
I
think
the
downtown
location,
I.
M
B
Now
I
think
we've
got
three
people
talking
about
building
a
hotel
other
than
your
group,
and
nobody
expects
all
three
of
those
who
get
built,
whether
or
not
you're
all
elbows
in
that's
just
kind
of
what
people
are
saying
and
now
they're
kind
of
waiting
to
see
what
we
do
here
to
be
honest
with
ya,
but
anybody
else
all
right.
Then
we
need
a
motion
to
what
do.
We
need
a
motion,
of
course,
activating.
G
L
I
I
J
N
B
A
Did
the
rankings
based
on
all
council
members
requests
for
how
they
ranked
everything
and
number
one
came
out
on
top?
Was
the
Austin
Police
Department
drone
for
forty
two
thousand
seven?
Ninety
two,
as
you
can
see
the
other
eleven
requests
below
it,
how
they
rank
in
the
council's
priority
list?
In
addition
to
that,
there
is
a
quality-of-life
grant
that
we
request
at
the
outside
of
that
allocation
process,
but
it
has
to
flow
through
summary
for
the
Arts
Center,
for
leadership
Austin
and
for
the
fourth
of
July
festival.
So
we'll
ask
that
outside.
A
In
addition
to
that,
something
we
did
not
talk
about.
The
last
meeting,
however,
is
some
requests
that
historically
had
gone
through
the
vision,
2020
process.
Then
now
the
city
will
be
requesting
some
out
a
bunch
of
dollars
for
the
I-90
corridor,
where
we
have
two
bridges
that
are
Inman
dots
plans
for
2021
to
get
upgraded,
so
the
request
will
be
to
put
the
brick
and
the
facade
on
those
like
has
done
it.
A
The
quick
trip,
I
90
eggs
in
one
and
then
additionally,
a
community
entrance
sign
that
again
would
come
out
of
budget
from
the
Hormel
foundation.
As
part
of
a
request,
so
we
need
to
get
them
in
the
pipeline
to
see
if
they
would
approve
them
so
that
men
we
can
work
with
MnDOT
to
get
them
scheduled
in.
So
we
just
request
a
motion
from
Council
requesting
those
grants
any.
B
O
A
O
A
N
G
G
B
L
I
G
B
L
Our
community
festival
applications
have
become
quite
popular
this
year,
since
we
changed
the
language
in
that,
so
this
would
be
an
additional
application
for
Harvest
Fest.
That
was
just
what
they're
calling
their
outdoor
music
events
at
the
B
and
J.
So,
if
counsel
wanted
to
review
that
and
place
any
conditions
on
it,
we
just
wanted
to
bring
it
to
the
council
separately.
K
H
H
H
So
my
name
is
austere:
Paulo
I
am
representing
the
Koran
community
in
Austin
Austin,
here
in
town
and
I,
actually
was
recommended
by
George
bass
to
apply
for
the
honorary
position
and
I
would
like
to
learn
more
about
what
our
CEO
and
I'm
actually
don't
really
know
a
lot
about
what
City
Council's
do
so
that
it'll
be
interesting
effector
for
me,
and
then
I'll
also
would
like
to
give.
If
able
I
would
like
to
give
what
our
community
have
gone
through
and
then
word
something
that
we
can
improve
in
our
minority
communities
as
well.
B
B
B
F
B
P
Not
here
today,
so
I'll
cover
that
one.
So
these
are
a
couple
properties
that
were
previously
approved
by
council
for
hazardous
structures,
and
we
started
that
process
first
step
is
asbestos
abatement.
We
have
three
bids
with
a
little
bit
being.
The
local
company
is
best
wrong
amount
of
four
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
dollars,
so
we'd
recommend
approving
that
for
properties,
408,
8th
Avenue,
southeast
and
1750
new
Northwest.
G
K
You
mayor
members,
this
is
a
special
appropriation
grant
application.
This
is
our
formal
applications
for
the
funding
from
the
state,
our
obligation
as
members.
What
we
call
is
limited
to
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
we
did
acknowledge-
which
we
don't
necessarily
think
is
a
conflict
of
interest,
but
Steve
King
is
obviously
both
a
city
council,
member
and
a
kmq
board
member.
We
denoted
that
the
application
just
to
be
on
the
safe
side,
and
otherwise
we
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
resolution.
Any.
A
J
G
B
I
B
G
B
You
Siri
the
motions
of
six
of
them
granting
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Department
of
the
contract
for
the
Andoria
legally
stored
vehicles
at
a
906
4th,
Avenue
Northwest
to
Garcia
property.
We
need
a
motion
so
moved.
Second
favor
opposed
be
1104.
Fifth
Street
Northwest,
yeah
film
property.
You
need
a
motion
so
moved.
Second
hi-c
1810,
2nd,
Avenue,
Southeast
se
property
need
a
motion.
So
second.
G
B
G
B
K
B
K
This
is
a
follow
up
on
discussion.
We
had
with
council
before
about
the
colony
bike
donation.
This
is
structured
to
come
through
Roger
bike,
Viet
no
cost
to
the
city
and
allows
us
to
drop
the
program.
If
I'm
successful
I
will
be
working
with
the
donors
to
determine
its
successfulness,
Roger
is
responsible
for
the
maintenance
of
the
bikes.
We
do
have
the
viability
exposure
for
for
the
bikes
should
somebody.
K
You
know
we
have
some
protections
built
into
it,
but
yes,
there's
never
a
hundred
percent
protection,
but
we
have
to
absorb
some
potential
liability,
though
the
users
will
sign
a
liability
waivers
part
of
the
process.
Steve
Kim
is
here
and
Steve.
If
you
wanted
to
add
some
comments
to
the
agreement
and
Craig,
my
room
has
been
instrumental
and
making
sure
we're
protected
as
much
as
possible
and
the
parameters
council
set
out
other
ways.
We
need
approval
of
the
agreement.
F
Thank
you
and
luck,
mayor
members
of
council
yeah
several
weeks
ago,
I
brought
this
to
the
council
and
as
a
proposal
taken
some
time,
but
thanks
to
Craig
by
room
for
and
Craig
Clark
for
working
through
all
of
these
olive
love
legalities
on
column
that
we
need
to
do
to
get
this
done.
So,
if,
if
you
haven't
seen
it
there's
a
bike
parked
right
outside
that
is
an
example
of
one
was
like.
We
have
six
of
those
bikes
we're
going
to
donate
to
the
city
and,
as
mr.
F
F
However,
we're
hoping
the
outcome
will
be
that
it
will
be
successful
once
we
get
all
the
bugs
worked
out
if
there
are
any
and
at
that
time
we'll
bring
to
the
council
all
of
our
data
that
we
have
accumulated
the
ridership
in
the
back
a
recommendation
to
either
expand
it
go
with
it
as
it
is
or,
and
some
it
might
be.
Just
to
drop
the
whole
thing
if,
if
that
were
the
recommendation,
but
we
want
to
give
it
a
shot,
we
want
to
give
it
a
try,
see
how
it
works
in
Austin
Minnesota.
F
So
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
donate
six
bikes
to
the
city,
one
with
the
program
starting
Lydia.
Well,
I
think
mr.
Clark.
What
we
need
to
do
once
we
give
to
approval,
is
do
some
education
first
of
all
and
people
in
the
signage
or
whatever.
Would
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
people
know
how
the
program
works,
and
you
can
assure
you
can't
have
success
and
people
don't
know
it
there?
Do
you
want
to
make
it
will
work
with
colony
bike
share
they'll
come
to
give
us
some
training,
and
so
yeah.
F
B
F
Right
right,
it
has
or
help
that
building
for
great
success,
yeah
and
so
to
the
point
that
even
in
Rochester
they're
using
a
similar
book
they're
using
scooters
in
Rochester,
the
trying
has
a
pilot
program.
They're
doing
scooters
I
think
that's
a
good
way
to
do
it
to
test
it
out,
make
sure
it
works
and
then
yeah.
B
G
B
C
C
B
G
B
C
Known
the
past,
so
you
guys
over
time
have
bought
on
other
sections
of
town
and
if
they
there
wasn't
enough
interest,
you
bought
the
ones
that
were
interested
and
he
acquired
the
other
ones
over
time
and
I'm
asking
it
at
least
what
I'm
asking
for
tonight
is.
Can
you
send
out
a
letter
again
to
the
residents
in
that
area
to
see
if
there's
interest
I
believe
there
is
I
believe,
there's
more
interest
in
the
interest
she
got
last
time,
which
was
forty
five
percent
or
something
so?
Can
you
send
another
lover?
Oh
wow.
B
P
We
we
currently
don't
have
funds
available
for
it.
Things
changed
with
this
neighborhood
after
the
2013
reclassification
of
of
the
floodplain,
and
originally
we
had
identified
17
homes
pretty
much
great
across
the
river
from
us
that
were
within
the
floodplain
after
the
area
was
Riis
owned
and
reclassified.
P
Many
of
those
homes
were
again
because
in
1988,
when
the
floodplain
was
first
designated,
they
were
using
1988
information
25
years
later
in
2013
they
revaluated
them
with
more
up-to-date
information,
more
accurate
data
and
many
of
the
homes
in
that
neighborhood,
many
of
those
17
homes
were
removed
from
the
floodplain,
so
it
drives
the
equation.
It
drives
that
process
for
a
flood
protection
or
or
acquisition.
P
It
drives
it
to
a
different
direction.
So
if
we
were
to
look
at
the
area
again,
our
current
policy
is
to
acquire
homes
that
are
in
the
floodplain
or
to
acquire
additional
homes
slightly
outside
of
the
floodplain
if
it
allows
us
to
remove
public
infrastructure.
So
that
is
something
we
can
bring
back
to
the
council
at
a
future
discussion
to
look
at
the
area.
Look
at
what
the
different
options
are
and
talk
about
how
to
move
forward
to
help
the
neighbor
give
the
neighbors
some
direction
they've.
P
They
have
been
sitting
in
limbo
for
five
or
six
years,
not
knowing
if
we
were
going
to
acquire
them.
If
we're
going
to
protect
them.
If
we're
gonna
do
nothing
so
it
it
would
be
helpful
to
provide
not
only
them
some
direction,
but
also
it'll,
give
us
some
direction
for
our
local
option
sales
tax
and
how
we're
budgeting
for
future
projects
as
well.
B
P
B
Wouldn't
even
know
right
now,
something
we
were
looking
at
five
or
six
I
was
thinking
of
something
else,
but
yeah
five
or
six
years
ago
and
we're
not
you
know
it
isn't
right
now
we
I
don't
know
if
we
could
do
it,
but
we'll
bring
it
up
again
and
and
make
a
decision.
So
I
was
like
there's
more
owners.
They'll
want
to
do
it,
but
your
odds
of
it
probably
went
down
a
little
bit
when
they
did
the
rezoning,
but.
C
G
G
B
B
C
I
Austin
artworks
festival
is
coming
up
this
weekend,
Saturday
and
Sunday.
Thank
you
to
our
honorable
mayor.
He
is
already
down
for
a
volunteer
shift
and,
and
so
it's
Craig
Clark
and
his
wife,
anybody
else
who
might
want
to
put
in
two
hours,
volunteering.
That
would
be
great.
It
takes
hundreds
of
volunteers
to
run
the
Austin
artworks
festival,
and
you
know
honestly
I've
done
it.
I
think
that
the
music
just
sounds
a
little
better
after
you
volunteered
the
art
just
looks
a
little
prettier.
I
Just
you
yeah
you're
invested,
you
do
two
hours
and
you
go,
have
fun
and
enjoy
so.
It's
Saturday
9:00
to
5:00
Sunday
10:00
to
4:00
max
Weinberger's
coming
Saturday
night
to
the
Paramount.
It
is
just
to
answer
apparently
some
questions
that
haven't.
It
is
the
real
Max
Weinberg.
It
is
not
a
tribute
to
Max
Weinberg.
It
is
the
real
actual
drummer
for
Bruce
Springsteen
Max
Weinberg.
So
we
hope
you
can
be
there
and
it's
a
great
weekend
for
Austin
there's
also
the
bike
race
in
town.
I
B
A
Change
at
June
17th
meeting
we
passed
a
resolution
with
the
Secretary
of
State
over
our
state
firing,
I
think
we'd
indicated
in
the
memo.
There
might
be
some
slight
changes:
Leah
Minnesota
cities
reviewed
it
and
they
asked
us
to
add
three
words
to
the
resolution
first
special
session.
So
we
did
that
without
rescinding
and
coming
back
to
you
for
another
resolution,
so
I
just
wanted
to
update
Council
on
that.
You.
N
B
Talk
to
you
already,
so
we
don't
talk.
We
have
you
down
on
the
agenda
to
talk
to
you
at
this
and
after
the
work
session.
I
don't
know
if
we're
you
want
to
say
anything
else
after
the
recession,
but
welcome,
and
you
know,
I
think
we've
had
George
and
rain
and
you
know
George
was
very
active
and
in
you
know
it's
tough
rain,
tenable
quiet,
but
some
you
know
it's
a
lament,
so
you
know
just
feel
comfortable.
You
know
you're
not
expected
to
do
a
logic.
Just
learn.
You
know
it's
a
it's
a
it's!
B
A
good
learning
system.
I
talked
to
rain
afterwards,
and
you
know
he
says
he
just
amazed
at
how
much
stuff
he
picked
up.
He
just
didn't
realize
that
our
system
hard
ran
and
everything
fell
and
I
don't
know
if
that
you'll
have
to
have
the
same
effect
on
you,
but
it'll
be
very
valuable
at
both.
We
expect
some
insight
in
your
community
to
that's.
Why
you're
here,
you
know
all
right
with
that.
We
need
a
motion
to
adjourn.
So
what
is
there
a
second
second
on
favor
I,
both
I
would
taking
sure
to
meet
back.
