Description
City of Austin, Minnesota
A
A
C
A
A
Is
there
recognitions
and
awards?
I
am
gonna,
take
need
not
at
first
because
we
got
all
the
cops
here
and
you
guys
can
sit
and
watch
somebody
else
for
once.
We
just
want
you
out
of
here
before
the
meetings
over
all
right.
Yeah
did
your
mother
here
with
you,
okay,
why?
Don't
you
tell
it
a
little
bit
about
the
event?
A
I
know
this
is
what
I
know
there
were
11
million
kids
initially
involved,
and
then
they
were
fired
from
Minnesota
and
that
you
were
one
of
the
last
no,
the
last
3
ron
was
562,
but
you
made
it
through
two
of
those
rounds
right.
Okay,
so
you're
like.
If
you
don't
spell
you
what
percentile
would
you
be
in,
though,.
D
A
A
D
D
A
C
A
A
A
F
Spots,
Matt
Holton,
who
seated
there
was
our
night
lieutenant
for
a
number
of
years,
32
years,
8
months,
get
that
right
and
he
retired
last
week
with
the
Austin
Police
Department,
his
position
was
filled
by
long
time
night
sergeant,
Jeff,
McCormick
Jeff
officially
started
his
first
shift
on
afternoons
last
night.
So
we're
trying
to
see
how
he's
gonna
do
work
in
the
daylight,
so
tough
trans.
F
Actually
changed
by
the
end
of
the
summer,
so
we
think
it's
going
to
be
a
good.
A
good
change
for
him.
So
tonight,
like
we
try
to
do,
is
just
recognize
him
in
his
new
position
or
afternoon.
Lieutenant
does
or
see
a
shift
that
goes
from
4:00
in
the
afternoon
till
2:00.
In
the
morning.
Most
of
us
in
admin
are
home
at
that
point
in
time.
F
So
pretty
much
anything
that's
going
to
go
on
the
City
of
Austin
he's
there
he's
he's
in
charge
of
it
from
the
police
perspective
and
he's
definitely
ready
for
it
a
lot
of
years,
a
lot
of
years
as
her
night
sergeant,
really
a
guy
who
I
have
a
lot
of
trust
in
todd,
has
a
lot
of
trust
in
he's,
pretty
much
seen
it
and
done
it.
So
we're
super
excited
to
have
them
in
the
position,
especially
with
our
young
people.
F
A
F
A
A
A
B
A
B
As
discussed
at
the
last
work
session,
the
fire
fleet
fund,
if
you
project
it
out
into
the
future,
is
little
lacking
to
replace
fire
trucks
as
they
come
due,
mainly
because
the
cost
of
these
vehicles
are
going
up
at
a
larger
percentage,
then
we're
putting
away.
So
that
being
said,
and
with
our
audit
of
being
done,
we'd
request
a
transfer
with
1
million
dollars
from
the
fund
balance
of
the
general
fund
into
the
fire
fleet
funds
that
could
be
used
for
future
fire
truck
purposes.
C
G
We
received
initial
notice
last
summer
that
we
were
successful
in
getting
$100,000
DNR
grant
for
a
trail
down
in
southwest,
but
there
were
some
additional
items
that
we
needed
to
complete
prior
to
the
actual
trail
document
and
those
were
just
some
additional
paperwork.
An
archeological
study
that
council
approved
previously
this
year
that
is
now
complete
and
puts
us
in
position
to
execute
the
grant
document.
Some
of
the
key
parts
of
it
is
that
it's
effective,
May,
21st
2019
and
expires
June
30th
of
2020,
so
we
have
about
a
year
to
get
this
constructed.
G
It's
a
75%
matching
grant
up
to
$100,000,
and
then
we
need
to
provide
the
grantee
needs
to
provide
a
minimum
of
25
percent
of
the
cost.
In
this
case
we're
looking
at
about
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
project.
So
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
were
come
from
the
DNR
trail
grant.
It
was
announced
previously
that
we
have
a
Hormel
Foundation
grant
of
$50,000
and
we
have
$50,000
budgeted
in
our
CIP
for
this
project.
G
C
G
The
last
council
meeting
we
awarded
a
bunch
of
work
for
the
Turtle
Creek
flood
control
project.
We
awarded
a
contract
for
construction,
also
some
engineering
services,
and
at
that
time
we
talked
about,
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
shortfall
with
our
dnr
grant.
This
will
fulfill
that
amount.
It's
180
thousand
dollars
that
will
go
toward
our
flood
control
project,
go
toward
up
to
50
percent
of
the
project
cost
and
again
the
remaining
50
will
be
paid
for
with
our
local
option
sales
tax.
D
G
We
are
one
year
into
the
first
five-year
extension
time
just
got
by
on
us
and
Bruce's
continued
to
operate
the
facility
as
he
had
before.
But
what
we're
doing
tonight
is
we're
looking
to
make
a
formal
approval
of
this
first
five-year
extension,
which
would
take
us
to
2023
and
then
at
that
time
we'll
bring
it
back
for
the
final
five
years
extension
of
the
lease,
but
for
now
would
request
approval
of
the
first
five-year
extension,
which
we
are
one
year
into.
A
G
Yeah,
an
Odom
is
a
as
a
notice
to
Airmen
that
is
put
out
when
there
are
problems
at
the
airport.
When
there's
something
going
on
that
you
want
to
let
air
traffic
know
about,
it
could
be
condition
of
the
runway.
Maybe
it's
animals
on
the
runway,
dangers
that
are
out
there
that
you
want
to
let
pilots
know
about,
and
this
agreement
is
with
the
FAA,
and
it
will
allow
a
more
streamlined
process
for
airport
operators
to
get
that
information
out
to
to
pilots
and
the
people
that
need
it.
A
C
A
I
A
A
J
You
mayor
members,
before
you
are
the
council
goals,
first
ones
providing
awesome
residents,
quality
city
services
that
recognize
employees
are
critical
to
programs
and
administrative
functions
to
deliver
on
public
priorities.
Number
two
is
make
Austin
leader
in
economic
development
growth,
while
focusing
on
adding
quality,
paying
jobs
and
tax
base
enhancement.
Number
three
is
make
Austin
attractive
community
that
values,
public
programs
and
amenities
and
detection
of
our
natural
resources
that
ultimately
enhance
our
quality
of
life
and
fourth,
is

of
the
tax
base
and
preserving
existing
housing
and
improving
livability
in
Austen's
neighborhoods
of
priority.
D
A
Second,
all
in
favor
I
had
pause.
Thank
you.
14
is
a
series
of
motion
granting
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Department
the
power
to
contract
for
the
removal
of
junk
and
or
illegally
stored
vehicles
at
the
following
location,
a
is
22
6,
7th,
Avenue,
Northwest
or
renew
it's
just
a
property.
We've
done
a
lot.
I'd
seem
like
the
name
is
here
all
the
time.
That's
just
a
common
name.
A
A
K
A
C
A
Is
1007
11th
Street
Northwest
to
tell
his
property
to
motion
so
second
I
get
my
own
favor
I
hope
he's
been
deleted.
F
is
1001.
3
Avenue,
Southwest,
secure,
Zegna
property
need
a
motion
so
moved
in.
Second,
all
in
favor
thank
and
G
is
ninth
and
fourth
Avenue
Northwest.
This
should
look
any
property.
We
need
a
motion
so
seconds
on
favor
15,
supportive
bonding
bill
request
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
Mr.
Wayne,
we.
G
Have
talked
about
needs
for
improvements
in
our
collection
system
and
wastewater
treatment
plant
for
about
five
years
now
and
council
took
a
proactive
approach
here
a
couple
years
ago
and
raised
the
sanitary
sewer
rates
and
implemented
some
increases
going
out
for
the
next
five
years.
So
so
those
are
all
great
things
to
help
us
in
the
process,
but
we're
always
looking
for
additional
funding
sources
for
this
very
large
project
that
we're
planning
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
G
The
initial
costs
have
come
back
in
the
range
of
73
million
dollars
for
needed
improvements
at
the
treatment
plant,
so
we
will
look
for
sources
of
funding,
whether
it
be
our
local
user
rates.
There
are
different
point
source
implementation
grants
available,
we'll
look
at
our
local
industries
for
for
funding,
but
one
location
that
we
have
identified
is
the
state
bonding
request
and
in
order
to
do
that,
first
step
is
getting
council
getting
a
resolution
in
support
of
a
funding
request.
G
So
we
looked
back
at
some
communities
that
have
gotten
these
types
of
requests
for
wastewater
treatment
plants
improvements
in
the
past.
Many
of
them
were
smaller
communities.
Their
grant
dollars
ranged
from
3
to
5
million
dollars
so
using
that
as
a
base
and
prorating
it
up
based
on
population
for
the
City
of
Austin.
That
would
prorate
up
to
about
a
12
point.
5
to
15
million
dollar
grant
request
if
you
looked
at
it
solely
based
on
population.
G
So
that
is
what
we
have
done
and
have
put
together
a
resolution
to
Minnesota
Management
and
Budget
in
the
amount
of
fifteen
million
dollars
for
state
bonding
requests
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
And
if
council
is
in
agreement,
we
would
request
approval
of
this
resolution
force
the
middle
with
our
grant
application
coming
up
in
mid-june.
A
A
G
G
A
J
To
add
to
mr.
Lang's
background,
there
we're
really
going
asking
to
kind
of
go
above
the
state
provision
of
appropriations.
A
lot
of
the
programs
have
caps
on
them.
With
the
extraordinary
costs
that
mr.
Lang
noted,
we
really
need
some
additional
help
that
would
exceed
those
maximums
to
help
us
address
this
issue.
So
that's
in
part.
J
Some
of
the
background,
that's
important
for
council
to
consider
I
will
have
to
push
pretty
hard
to
go
around
those
other
communities
have
received
that
authorization
so,
but
it
would
be
a
pretty
significant
request
to
try
to
make
with
the
legislature,
but
I
think
one
that
we
have
valued
major
employer
that
contributes
to
our
plant
size,
as
well
as
the
financial
ability
to
pay
for
residents
of
Austin.
So
but.
A
G
A
G
The
the
big
thing
that
really
adds
to
our
cost
is
we're
looking
at
a
different
treatment
process.
Our
current
treatment
process
works
very
well
for
our
current
regulations,
but
new
regulations
that
we
anticipate
are
coming
in
the
future.
We
need
to
make
this
change
to
a
different
type
of
treatment
process.
J
C
A
J
A
J
G
B
A
H
We
were
informed
by
the
Department
of
Health
at
the
Hiawatha
bar
no
longer
holds
their
food
and
beverage
license
and
they
can
no
longer
be
operational
as
a
bar
and
restaurant.
So
doing
our
part
in
that
we
would
I
would
request
that
the
council
passed
a
motion
for
the
suspension
of
her
license
because
she
no
longer
meets
our
license
requirements
and
then,
in
order
to
revoke
the
license,
we
have
to
set
a
public
hearing.
A
A
A
D
L
A
L
If
you
granted
my
stop
sign
and
if
I'm
wrong
in
that
I
I'm.
Sorry,
but
that's
what
I
heard.
So
what
I'm
asking
is
that
you
consider
a
pedestrian
point
of
view
and
so
I
did
some
research
and
the
CDC
website
says
that
in
2016,
five
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighty-seven
pedestrians
were
killed
in
traffic
crashes
in
the
United
States.
That's
almost
six
thousand
people.
This
average
is
one
crash,
related
pedestrian
death,
every
1.5
hours,
that's
quite
a
lot.
L
Additionally,
almost
one
hundred
and
twenty
nine
thousand
pedestrians
were
treated
in
emergency
departments
for
non
fatal
crash
related
injuries
in
2015
pedestrians
are
1.5
percent,
more
likely
to
be
killed
and
an
occupant
than
killed
in
a
crash
in
two
vehicles.
Now
you
would
ask
who
is
the
most
at
risk
for
this
kind
of
a
thing?
L
The
pedestrian
vehicle
crash
turns
say
that
the
pedestrian
vehicle
crash
rates
are
the
highest
during
morning
and
evening
rush
hours.
The
majority
of
these
crashes
occur
at
intersections.
The
majority
of
these
crashes
occur
at
low
speed
roadways
less
than
35
miles
an
hour.
The
majority
of
those
crashes
are
in
urban
areas.
L
L
5%
of
all
pedestrian
crashes
result
in
deaths,
that's
ten
times
more
deadly
than
fatal
car
crashes,
which
is
one
half
of
one
percent.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
that
all
of
the
things
that
were
listed
on
the
MnDOT
website?
A
lot
of
those
are
hitting
the
intersection
that
I
live
at
number
one,
it's
an
intersection.
They
said
most
of
them
happen
at
intersections
number,
two,
it's
less
than
35
miles
an
hour
this
and
most
of
them
happen
at
35
miles
an
hour
number
three.
It's
mostly
children
and
older
people.
L
There
is
and
I'm
the
only
person
standing
here,
there's
a
lot
of
my
neighbors
and
a
lot
of
other
mothers
that
feel
the
same
way.
They
just
are
too
scared
to
come
forward
now.
I
know
that
I
was
here
last
week
and
I
know
that
you
said
no,
but
nobody
wins
a
war
by
fighting
one
battle
and
going
home
and
crying
on
their
pillow.
L
So
I'm
here
to
ask
you
again:
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
would
reconsider
it
think
about
it
from
a
pedestrian
point
of
view
versus
two
cars
and
also
consider
it
from
a
safety
and
precautions
point
of
view.
The
other
thing
that
I
would
like
to
bring
up
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
times
for
the
state
or
city
passes,
regulation
or
laws
that
determine
things
from
a
precautionary
point
of
view.
That's
why
we
have
smoke
detectors.
That's
why
we
have
carbon
monoxide
detectors.
That's
why
we
have
seatbelts.
L
That's
why
we
have
life
vests
on
lifeboats.
It
would
be
the
same
thing
as
saying
if
a
police
officer
pulled
me
over
and
I
didn't,
have
a
seatbelt
on
and
I
didn't
have
my
kids
and
buckled
into
my
car
seat
as
him
saying
ma'am.
Why
don't
you
have
that
stuff
done
and
I
said
well,
this
particular
vehicle
has
never
been
in
a
crash
before
I've
never
been
in
a
crash,
but
after
I'm
in
a
crash,
then
I'll
start
buckling
up
that
doesn't
make
sense.
L
It
doesn't
make
sense
at
all
to
be
reactive
instead
of
proactive
I'm.
The
third
thing
that
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
if
I'm
wrong
someone
dies
or
gets
hurt
if
you're
wrong
a
few
more
people
come
before
the
City
Council
next
year
and
ask
for
stop
signs
now
from
a
pro
con
standpoint
to
me
that
doesn't
make
any
sense
someone
dies
or
gets
hurt.
A
Traffic,
the
northbound
or
the
east,
then,
if
it's
westbound
or
going
into
a
dead-end
if
it's
northbound,
it's
a
very
wide
open
intersection
and
it's
a
new
air
nor
area.
So
there's
not
a
lot
of
trees
and
you're
doing
a
very
good
job.
I
should
say
that
don't
be
nervous,
excellent
job,
but
we
have
criteria
not
that
we
said
that
you
know
we
have
criteria
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
A
If
we
were
going
to
put
up
a
stop
sign
for
you,
we'd
be
putting
up
hundreds
of
stop
sites
and
one
more
thing
and
I'll
give
you
a
chance.
Yeah
I
mean
you're,
really
cherry-picking
you
sistex
I
could
UCD.
When
is
the
last
time
that
we've
added
the
children
hit
it
down?
I'll
bet
you
in
20
years.
You
know.
Yes,
we
don't
want
it
to
happen
at
all,
but
I
mean
it's
kind
of
cherry-picking
statistics
County
here
and
they
here.
A
Here's
how
this
will
work
console
have
an
opportunity
to
make
a
motion
to
put
that
sign
in
there
and
then
at
that
point
we
can
just
cuts
it
further
and
we
can
either
approve
or
deny.
But
you
did
a
very
good
job.
That's
very
compelling!
You
almost
made
me
think
about
it
again.
Well,
yeah
I
am
thinking
about
it,
but
okay.
J
J
L
L
Going
into
a
cul-de-sac,
so
what
what
it
is
is
when
they
come
in
from
from
eighth
they're
turning
and
they're
going
towards
9:00,
and
it's
like
a
W
right.
So
I
live
in
the
middle
part
of
the
w,
where
there's
20
people
or
20
houses,
and
it
feeds
the
other
two
parts
of
the
w,
which
is
about
three
times
that
length.
So
there's
approximately
a
hundred
and
fifty
houses
that
that
feeds
from
Oakland.
A
A
A
L
Okay,
so
I
live
right
on
the
corner
on
the
northwest
side
and
I
would
like
one
so
that
by
my
driveway
there's
a
stop
sign,
because
the
the
slope
of
the
driveway
is
such
that
when
the
kids
are
riding
their
bike,
it
runs
down
where
and
so
they
run
down,
and
sometimes
they
run
out
into
the
road
and
that's
the
problem
because
most
of
the
people
that
are
going
the
other
way
are
turning
and
going
towards
eighth,
and
so
those
people
aren't
an
issue.
They
all
are
turning
and
they're
leaving
and
they're
going
to
Oakland.
A
I
G
I
G
G
I
A
We
certainly
wouldn't
want
to
pull
one
for
northbound
traffic
cuz.
That's
a
cul-de-sac.
I
mean
cars
are
gonna,
be
you're,
not
gonna
have
a
great
flow
of
traffic.
It's
gonna
be
mostly
people
that
live
in
there.
They
put
on
that
cul-de-sac.
Now.
I
know
somebody
get
lost
or
go
down
there
looking
for
stuff,
but
the
journey
that
traffic
is
gonna,
be
residents
open
up,
doing.
C
M
H
B
C
B
K
Actually
say
you
and
driving
tonight,
the
past
there
there
was
somebody
coming
out
of
the
cul-de-sac.
I
was
making
a
left
turn
in
there
and
I'm
thinking
about
it.
Not
more.
Now,
after
you
came
to
our
last
work
session,
that's
probably
the
only
reason
I
didn't
broadside
somebody
who
was
flying
out
of
there.
So
yes
I,
would
make
the
motion
that
we
put
a
stop
sign
and
going
north
itself
I
think
it
would
have
minimal
traffic.
You
know.
A
K
You
wandering
the
earth
itself
because
otherwise
you
start
flying
around
I
mean
we
live
in
the
coldest
sac
kind
of
on
the
other
end
and
coming
out
of
it.
There
is
a
stop
sign
coming
out
of
it.
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
too
disruptive
to
traffic
and
frankly
think
we
could
probably
avoid
something
in
the
future.
We.
A
Cannot
approve
your
stop
sign
request
here
because
it
hasn't
been
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
so
what
we'd
have
to
do
is
send
it
back
to
the
works,
to
talk
about
it
there
and
then
pass
it
or
deny
it
there,
and
it's
ended
here
again.
So
I
guess
the
motion
would
be
what
if
people
want
to
look
into
it
further
would
be
that
we
take
it
back
to
the
work
session.
That's
our
the
discussion.
A
A
I
I
want
to
announce
and
highlight
4th
Avenue,
fest
and
I'm.
It's
scheduled
for
Wednesday
June
12,
starting
at
5:00.
Excuse
me
at
5:00
p.m.
there'll
be
all
kinds
of
activities
and
music,
so
we
want
Austin
residents
to
come
out
and
enjoy
your
public
spaces
meet
your
neighbors.
There
will
be
free
music,
MacPhail
percussion
will
do
a
session
where
you
can
learn
how
to
drum
and
that'll
be
near
the
instruments
on
the
bike.
Berm
trail
near
the
library
Austin
Community
Band
will
put
on
a
concert
in
the
pool
parking
lot
at
7:00
and
then
at
8:30.
I
There
will
be
a
open
jam
session
at
the
Paramount.
There
will
also
be
open
swim
hour
at
the
municipal
pool.
That
means
free
admission
will
be
art
activities
face
painting
by
Matchbox
the
Cedar
River
watershed
district
will
have
canoes
and
kayaks
available
for
paddling
and
going
out
on
Mill
Pond.
So
you
can
give
that
a
try.
The
palette
players
will
be
there
roving
and
doing
their
mini,
plays
sidewalk
chalk,
lots
and
lots
of
fun
stuff
really
family-friendly.
I
A
J
Everybody
done
it.
Ok,
all
right,
yeah,
yeah
I
was
mister
visiting
over
there
glad
to
report.
We
got
a
legislature
completed
its
business
after
a
short
special
session,
26
million
for
local
government
aid
and
2020
an
additional
4
and
2021
to
restore
us
to
our
2002
levels.
That'll
result
in
three
hundred
and
twenty-six
thousand
additional
for
Austin
in
2020
and
our
state
fiery
tissue
thanks
to
representative
poppy
and
senator
sparks
was
included.
So
that's
a
little
easier
that
that's
taken
care
of
as
well,
but
I.
J
A
A
M
M
It
goes
for
eight
weeks,
so
lots
of
good
things
there
and
I'd
also
like
to
second
Laura's
reminder
about
the
fourth
Avenue
festa
library,
we'll
also
be
doing
a
unity
project
out
on
the
grass
between
the
library
and
the
the
playground
there
in
the
pool.
It's
a
larger
than
life
structure,
art
structure
that
is
going
to
kind
of
celebrate
the
uniqueness
that
we
have
in
Austin.
So
if
you
can
all
show
up
and
take
part
in
that,
that'd
be
great.
M
It's
going
to
be
between
the
library
and
the
park
right
there,
where
everything's
going
on
we're,
kicking
it
off
June
12th
at
4th,
Avenue
fest,
but
we're
gonna
continue
it
Thursday
evening,
Friday
during
the
day
and
Saturday
morning
as
well.
So
it's
gonna
be
kind
of
a
four-day
thing.
Yeah
it'll
be
great,
so
come
on
out.
B
B
C
B
J
G
Wanted
to
clarify
for
those
bonding
bill
requests
that
we
have.
We
need
to
prioritize
them
as
we
submit
them,
so
it
was
our
intent
that
they
would
be
prioritized
in
the
order
that
they
were
approved
tonight.
Top
priority
projects
submitted
would
be
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
number
two
being
the
fourth
Avenue
state
water
trail
and
then
number
three
being
the
Ramsey
dam
area.
So
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
that
case.
Anyone
had
any
concerns
about
that
ranking.
Okay,
thank
you.
