Jerry
Jerry
Jerry
this
guy.
This
cat
has
given
so
much
time
to
the
community
and
the
citizens
that
it's
unbelievable,
whether
it
was
his
job
at
the
utilities
or
with
different
boards
and
commissions
he
served
on
for
the
past
hundred
years
and
he
still
looks
pretty
good
Jerry
McCarthy.
C
We
are
honoring
him
today
and
there's
no
doubt
a
not
a
better
person
that
we
need
to
honor
for
their
years
and
years
of
service.
So
I'll
read
the
plaque
we'll
present
with
Jerry
today
in
appreciation
of
Jerry
McCarthy
for
service
to
the
Austin
Port
Authority
from
September
25th
1996
to
April,
1
2023
and
for
serving
as
president
from
September
28,
20
or
2005
to
April
1st
2023..
C
C
Add
to
that
organization
and
I
when
I
spoke
with
Jerry
I
asked
him
what
was
what
his
favorite
project
was
I
believe
it
was
the
old
Temple
for
those
old
oldness
to
know
about
Temple
Mall
that
turned
into
Austin
packaging
and
then
to
the
soon
to
be
Apple,
Valley
pies,
who
knows,
but
I
thought
it
would
be
far
more
glamorous
of
a
project
Jerry.
But
that
was
that
was
one
that
he
stands.
G
C
G
I
C
G
Was
an
honor
to
serve
the
port
authority
and
I
think
it's
every
Citizen's
obligation
to
contribute
to,
however
best
they
can
I
just
happen
to
have
the
luck
of
of
being
involved
in
Port
Authority
for
all
those
years
and
all
these
prod
projects
that
too
numerous
to
mention.
But
there
comes
a
time
when
you
realize
it's
time
to
leave
and
I
found
a
good
person
to
replace
me
so
I'm
honored
to
leave
and
I'm
honored
to
have
Jason
take
that
over.
C
Yep,
that's
great!
Well,
you
left
it
and
with
good
hands.
No
doubt
and
I
know,
Jason
will
do
a
great
job
carrying
it
forward,
but
yeah
you've,
you've,
certainly
I
appreciate
you
think
it's
every
every
Citizen's
duty
to
serve,
but
at
the
capacity
with
which
you
served
is
amazing.
Jerry,
so
we'd
certainly
appreciate
your
thoughtfulness
and
your
respectfulness
along
the
way.
Anytime.
You
heard
your
name
involved.
You
just
knew
it
was
right
and
was
going
to
be
done
right.
So
appreciate
all
your
time
and
your
effort
Jerry.
C
J
Like
mayor
said,
I'm
Molly,
lanky
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
United
Way
of
Mower
County,
also
co-lead,
on
Hometown
Food
security
project
honored
to
be
joined
by
Major
Jeff
strickler
today,
leader
of
our
local
Austin,
Salvation
Army,
certainly
a
key
player
in
the
food
security
landscape
and
today
we're
just
going
to
share
a
little
bit
about
our
hometown
high
level
presentation,
because
this
is
a
really
big
issue.
There
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
address.
It,
we'd
like
to
think
that
this
is
the
first
conversation
of
many.
J
J
J
Not
everyone
in
our
community
is
food.
Secure
this
we
know,
and
it's
demonstrated
through
the
Mower
County
food
and
security
statistics
that
you
see
on
the
screen
there.
So
8.4
percent
of
individuals
in
Mower
County
do
not
have
the
access
to
food
that
they
need
to
be
food
secure
and
that
statistic
increases
to
13.8
percent
for
children,
one
in
seven
children
face
food
insecurity.
Most
importantly,
you'll
see
that
the
10-year
average
for
food
insecurity
rates
is
about
10
percent.
That
is
a
statistic,
a
trend
line
that
we're
trying
to
change.
J
It's
a
trend
that
we
must
work
together
to
change,
and
that's
one
reason
that
we
have
established
our
Hometown
Food
security
project
and
we've
gathered
a
coalition
to
move
that
needle
and
change
that
Trend.
We
know
that
no
one
individual
company
or
organization
alone
can
solve
this.
That's
why
you'll
see
that
The
Branding
is
really
Hometown,
Food
security-
it
doesn't
belong
to
one
group
or
another.
It
belongs
to
our
community.
We
all
have
ownership
in
this,
especially
if
you
are
food
secure.
J
Food
insecurity
is
also
a
component
of
a
larger
picture,
one
that
portrays
just
the
overall
health
and
the
data
demonstrates
a
sense
of
humility
here.
You'll
see
that
Mower
County
continues
to
rank
among
the
least
healthy
in
the
state.
The
latest
County
Health
rankings
report
puts
us
at
73rd
out
of
87
for
health
outcomes,
which
would
be
the
length
and
the
quality
of
life
and
we're
69th
out
of
87
for
health
pack.
It's
going
to
be
the
social
determinants
of
Health,
one
being
food
accessories.
J
Who
was
impacted
really,
it
was
not
impacted.
Any
person
is
one
crisis,
one
medical
emergency,
one
job
loss
away
from
facing
food
insecurity.
We
know
that
it
impacts
everyone
from
all
walks
and
lives
life,
whether
it
be
children
or
senior
citizens
to
community
and
Beyond
to
us.
The
question
might
be:
what
will
we
eat
today,
but
to
sum
the
question
is:
will
we
eat
today?
J
So
can
you
put
yourself
in
there
sure
isn't
and
imagine
if
that's
the
question
that
you
ask
yourself,
you
decide
which
restaurant
might
we
go
to
where
we
order
takeout
from
what
do
we
have
in
our
fridge,
so
we
can
cook
a
nutritious
home-cooked
meal,
but
some
again
are
asking:
will
I
eat
today
and
that's
not
acceptable?
That's
why
we're
here
and
that's
where
we've
established
this
project
assemble
this
coalition
to
change
that.
J
Well,
we're
building
a
coalition
like
I,
said
and
here's
where
we've
been
so
we
need
to
set
the
foundation,
and
we
did
this
about.
A
year
ago
it
was
last
May
that
we
gathered
the
community
Hormel
Foods,
really
initiated
this
community
convening
more
than
50
Community
leaders
to
discuss
the
issue
of
food
insecurity
and
talk
about
some
of
the
opportunities
that
exist
within
all
in
the
room
agreed
that
food
insecurity
is
an
issue
and
there
was
an
overwhelming
response
to
just
the
need
for
moving
this
work
forward.
J
It
was
really
important
to
have
that
conversation
because
we
can't
do
it
alone.
We
need
all
hands
on
deck,
like
I,
said
and
I.
Think
the
energy
in
that
room
really
really
showed
us
that
this
is
one
of
those
critical
issues.
It's
time
to
do
more
of
the
work
that
actually
matters
less
of
the
Band-Aid
solution,
and
that
was
an
outcome
of
that
community
convening
the
project
would
be
led
by
Hormel
Foods
in
United
Way,
with
guidance
from
the
Baylor
University
collaborative
on
hunger
and
poverty
they're
a
national
expert
in
this
food
security
landscape.
J
It's
been
invaluable
to
have
just
a
direct
line
to
that
group
because
they
really
know
how
to
make
a
difference
and
how
to
move
that
needle
then
we
needed
to
recruit
participants
again.
We
can't
do
it
alone,
so
we
recruited
a
small
core
team
to
get
the
project
off
the
ground.
We
recruited
with
intention
which
populations
and
services
do
we
want
to
represent.
J
Who
is
that
representative
and
our
core
team,
as
you
can
see,
really
demonstrates
that
cross-sector
collaboration
that
we
talk
so
much
about
we've
had
the
right
people
at
the
table
up
to
this
point,
but
we're
to
a
point
now
where
the
Coalition
is
growing.
We're
so
grateful
to
those
who
have
been
involved
to
this
point,
because
again
we
went
through
that
startup
phase.
We
were
really
kind
of
building
this
as
we
went
along,
but
they
remained
committed
and
we're
so
grateful
for
that.
J
We
then
engage
the
community
to
assess
the
current
food
security
landscape.
We
did
this
through
surveys,
forums,
focus
groups
really
making
sure
that
we
were
involving
those
with
lived
food
insecurity.
Experience
also
involving
those
who
are
maybe
doing
work
in
this
area.
Right
now,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
there
are
great
organizations
doing
great
work.
J
J
The
asset
mapping
phase
concluded
with
a
compilation
of
an
assessment
report
which
you
should
have
there.
This
is
one
that
takes
a
holistic
view
of
food
insecurity
and
the
contributing
factors
it's
a
long.
One
I
think
you'll
find
it
interesting,
probably
because
you
know,
for
one
reason,
the
the
facts
and
figures
really
go
beyond
food
insecurity.
Like
I
said
it's
those
contributing
factors.
What
are
the
demographics
here?
How
might
that
impact
our
food
insecurity
rates?
What's
the
financial
capacity
of
our
neighbors,
who
might
be
burdened
by
child
care
costs
or
housing
costs?
J
Who
has
you
know
the
transportation
to
get
to
a
program
or
who
might
be
homebound
or
have
a
disability?
And
how
can
we
get
the
food
to
them?
So
it's
really
interesting
to
go
through
the
report
and
I
encourage
you
to
do
so,
because
there
are
so
many
factors
that
contribute
to
food
insecurity,
but
also
back
to
some
of
the
other
work
that
the
City
Works
on
I.
J
Think
one
thing
to
know
is
that
some
of
the
work
around
affordable
housing
that
helps
food
insecurity
in
the
way
that
it
helps
free
up
the
budget
of
some
of
those
that
are
maybe
cost
burdened
by
housing
costs,
and
then
they
don't
have
to
choose
between
paying,
you
know,
know
their
their
rent
or
their
mortgage
or
even
when
it
comes
to
medical
bills.
It's
all
about
just
freeing
up
resources,
so
people
can
buy
what
they
need
to
really
survive.
J
The
report
also
takes
a
deep
dive
into
certain
topical
areas.
One
example
would
be
snap
or
formerly
known
as
food
stamps.
Snap
presents
a
huge
opportunity
not
only
for
food
security
to
to
get
more
people
to
the
point
of
food
security,
but
also
from
an
economic
development
standpoint,
and
that
comes
down
to
that
economic
multiplier.
If
just
one
half
of
those
who
are
eligible
but
not
yet
enrolled
in
snap
were
to
be
normal,
be
an
additional
5.3.
J
Finally,
we
turned
our
asset
mapping
phase
into
action
planning.
We
convened
nearly
100
community
members
last
month
to
really
Workshop
Solutions,
we're
framing
the
worker
on
the
five
opportunity
areas
that
you
see
on
the
screen
in
the
green
there
and
we're
still
in
that
action.
Planning
phase,
but
student
will
activate
those
action
teams
to
move
this
work
forward.
J
So,
where
do
we
go
from
here
again
we're
working
on
those
action
teams
prioritizing
projects,
it's
important
to
compare
potential
projects
to
the
report
and
some
of
those
key
facts
and
figures,
some
of
the
opportunity
areas
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
work
that
will
make
a
difference.
But
as
we
look
ahead
once
those
action
teams
and
project
plans
are
finalized
and
they're
activated
they're
executing
the
plans,
it's
really
important
to
continue
to
assess
the
programs.
This
is
a
very
Dynamic
issue.
Some
of
the
policies
could
change.
There
could
be
a
new
program
in
town.
J
That's
you
know,
filling
a
gap
or
meeting
a
need,
so
it's
important
to
continually
assess,
adjust
and
evaluate
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
an
impact
so
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Major
death
now
just
to
share
insights
from
our
Coalition
member,
especially
a
coalition
member
that
does
so
much
in
this
area.
Already
and
I'll
have
I'll
have
share
a
few
comments
and
we'll
close
back.
I
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
one
of
the
big
reasons
why
Salvation
Army
is
involved
in
this
project
is
because
we've
been
doing
meeting
basic
needs
throughout
Moore
County
Austin
for
the
last
127
years,
and
it's
very
near
and
dear
to
our
heart.
We
serve
with
basic
services
and
meeting
needs
and
do
that
as
as
best
we
can
with
resources
that
we
have.
We
believe
that
helping
our
neighbors
is
an
important
thing
for
us
to
do,
and
also
too
for
us
as
a
church.
I
It's
also
a
spiritual
prerogative
for
us
to
help
people
in
need,
in
addition
to
that,
I
see
this
personally
as
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime
to
be
involved
with
to
really
make
a
huge
difference
in
helping
the
community
become
hunger,
secure
and
then
finally,
I
would
say
too,
with
regard
to
being
a
member
of
the
Hometown
Food
security
project.
It's
important
to
us
because
we
find
that
the
magnitude
of
trying
to
end
Hunger
insecurity
in
our
county
is
a
huge
undertaking.
I
We
serve
in
Austin
about
two-thirds
to
three-fourths
of
the
hungry,
insecure
population,
but
more
needs
to
be
done
to
reach
more
people.
We
know
that
the
level
of
support
the
amount
of
food
that's
needed
to
make
a
huge
difference
and
to
really
bring
down
the
level
of
insecurity
as
important,
and
it's
very
big.
A
survey
done
the
end
of
this
summer
for
the
state
of
Minnesota.
I
I
Since
we've
been
involved
with
the
Coalition
we've
been
able
to
double
our
distribution,
the
amount
of
people
served
the
speed
at
which
we
serve
people,
we've
extended
our
hours
for
our
food
shelf
and
for
our
community
meals,
we've
started
doing
takeout
meals,
so
we've
already
done
a
lot
of
things
through
the
work
of
the
Coalition
and
their
help
to
make
a
difference.
So
we
look
forward
to
doing
more
with
the
Coalition.
Thank
you
for
your
interest
and
support.
J
I
think
major
Jeff
brings
up
a
great
point
that
we're,
after
some
of
those
bigger
Solutions,
the
big
projects,
if
you
were
a
participant
at
the
action
planning
workshop
last
month,
There's
an
actual
bus
prototype
that
was
a
parkit
market.
It's
a
celebration
that
we
bring
around
all
the
rural
counties
and
also
here
in
Austin,
and
those
are
all
great
ideas,
ones
that
we're
working
towards
Central
Hub.
We
know
there's
a
need
for
that.
That
takes
a
lot
of
work
so,
in
the
meantime,
we're
doing
things
like
sharing
recommendations
to
a
program.
J
So
where
do
you
come
in
I?
Think
it
really
comes
down
to
the
role
of
local
government
in
building
sustainable,
Food
Systems.
The
food
security
of
our
neighbors
depends
on
the
strength
of
the
local
food
system,
and
the
food
system
is
everything
from
you
know
the
agriculture,
the
production
processing
distribution
policy.
There's
a
lot
of
policy
implications
in
a
food
system
and
so
I
think
that's
what
that's
where
the
city
can
come
in
and
U.S
council
members.
How
might
you
address
food
insecurity
or
acknowledge
the
role
that
you
might
play
in
this
work?
J
We
ask
that
you
support
the
community-led
initiative,
such
as
our
project.
We
ask
that
you're,
an
active
participant
in
this,
that
you
stay
involved
that
you
stay
up
to
date.
If
you
have
a
question
or
if
you
have
an
opportunity
where
it
might
impact
food
security
consult
with
the
Coalition
I
think
you
know,
we've
been
in
this
work
for
a
year,
at
least
from
the
project
level,
but
a
lot
of
the
members
have
been
involved
for
many
years
from
the
program
and
the
day-to-day
work
that
they
do.
J
We
ask
that
you
consider
food
security
when
planning
land
access
in
use
and
continue
to
be
an
advocate
there.
One
example
would
be
the
salvation
for
me
in
need
of
a
new
building.
So
how
might
you
help
move
that
along
and
also
evaluate
city
ordinances
and
policies
to
identify
those
that
might
be
restrictive
to
Food,
Systems
and
security?
J
It's
really
interesting
when
you
start
to
do
the
research
or
the
role
of
municipalities
and
food
security,
and
it
can
be
something
as
simple
as
one
word
in
a
zoning
law
that
would
increase
access
to
food
or
just
help
us
move
that
needle
a
little
bit
more
I
know
those
are
big
asks
of
you.
I
think.
Maybe
a
more
realistic
ask
would
be
to
read
the
report.
J
So
if
there
are
any
questions,
I
know
you
have
other
business
to
get
to,
you
can
direct
them
to
me
via
email.
My
contact
information
is
here
on
this
slide.
If
there
is
time
I'm
happy
to
answer
a
question
or
two
but
I
think
the
big
thing
is
just
know
that
we're
one
email,
one
phone
call
away
and
we'd
be
really
excited
to
continue
to
engage
you
in
this
work.
J
J
C
Well,
that's
Dynamite,
you
know
Molly
between
you
and
the
United
United
Way
and
Salvation
Army.
Those
are
aerodynamic
organizations
that
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
good
for
the
community
for
so
many
years
and
I.
Think
when
you
add
your
partners
in
your
Coalition
I,
just
don't
think
there's
a
way.
This
can
go
anywhere
up
and
be
successful.
So
appreciate
all
your
efforts
and
the
engagement
you've
got
so
far
from
the
community
is
absolutely
amazing,
so
keep
it
up.
Keep.
A
I
just
want
to
command
commend
the
group
I
mean
I,
think
you
guys
I
love,
how
you're
thinking
big
it's
not
about
a
one
percent
change,
it's
about.
What's
eliminated
and
you're,
taking
such
an
intentional
and
strategic
approach
to
addressing
this
and
I.
Think
what's
exciting
is
not
only
is
it
going
to
create
a
lot
of
good
things
for
Austin,
but
I
think
it
creates
a
model
that
we
can
then
use
to
replicate
across
the
country.
So
big
things
coming
and
we
are
happy
to
support
it
any
way
we
can.
K
C
D
This
Council
may
remember
a
lot
at
the
May
1st
meeting.
We
approve
the
tax
increment
financing
plan
for
TIF
district
number
17,
which
is
the
affordable
housing
project
to
the
east
of
the
post
office.
As
part
of
that
process,
the
city
council's
agreed
to
advance
in
dollars,
including
a
615
000
loan
at
one
percent,
plus
some
other
dollars
into
the
project,
as
grants
from
expired
tip
districts
Etc.
D
The
total
Tiff
plan
has
estimated
reimbursements
or
Revenue
coming
out
of
the
tune
of
1.2
million
dollars
in
an
order
for
Council
to
be
able
to
capture
those
dollars
back
for
the
loans
that
we're
giving
them.
We
need
to
pass
some
interfund
loan
resolutions
because
we're
in
essence
advancing
the
costs,
so
our
Attorneys
at
Dorothy
and
Whitney
have
created
two
resolutions
for
us
that
we
need
to
approve
separately.
D
One
is
to
approve
the
inner
fund
loan
agreement
for
the
615
000
that
one
percent
simple
interest
and
the
second
inner
fund
loan
agreement
is
for
the
remaining
587
000
potential
available
Tiff,
depending
on.
If
the
valuation
of
the
property
goes
up
again.
This
is
the
next
step
in
the
process.
We
still
have
some
other
agreements,
Redevelopment
agreement
with
Three
Rivers,
which
would
be
the
big
one.
D
F
C
D
C
H
Probably
not
but
members
as
we
talked
about
this,
this
is
really
to
as
our
Horizon
of
the
local
option.
Sales
tax
will
be
expiring.
We
want
to
do
an
assessment
of
the
apportionment
of
who
paying
our
local
option
sales
tax,
and
otherwise
this
is
through
the
University
of
Minnesota
extension
service,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
F
C
H
And
thank
you
mayor
members.
This
is
kind
of
the
Capstone
of
our
discussions
with
Pam
Whitmore
on
the
base
documents
from
the
city
of
Rochester
and
outlines
the
rules
and
procedures
and
are
just
essentially
a
further
expression
of
Robert's
Rules
of
orders
that
we've
long
operated
under
clarify
some
procedures.
H
Much
of
what
happens
in
this
document
occurs
without
much
fanfare,
but
Council
just
goes
about
our
business
and
most
of
what
advances
generally
has
done
unanimously,
but
this
provides
clarification
of
if
there's
a
question
on
how
things
are
added
to
the
agenda
and
the
like.
The
code
of
conduct
concerns
itself,
responsibilities,
content,
contact,
conduct
with
the
public,
recording
and
broadcasting
of
meetings,
placing
items
on
the
agenda
council
contact
with
staff
council
contact
with
the
public.
H
Probably
most
importantly,
is
section
2.04,
which
allows
a
process
for
our
boards
and
commission
to
access
the
agenda
for
clarification
from
Council
and
basically
putting
a
spotlight
on
the
interests
of
our
boards
and
commissions.
Otherwise,
Mr
Byram
has
done
the
bulk
of
the
editing
of
this
document
and
have
he's
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
otherwise
we're
looking
for
approval.
C
L
We
discussed
at
the
last
work
session
the
idea
that
there
may
be
an
anomaly
with
some
of
the
water
surface,
elevations
north
of
I-90,
something
that
was
discovered
through
the
I-90
bridges
project
and
from
that
we've
brought
forward
for
you
tonight.
A
proposal
from
seh
to
study
the
area
from
I-90
North
through
this,
the
city
limits
up
to
the
Ramsey
Dam
and
even
slightly
farther
north.
L
The
first
phase
of
their
proposal
would
be
just
a
cursory
review
just
to
look
at
it
from
a
high
level,
see
if
there
are
any
issues
and
if,
if
they
do
find
that
there
are
some,
we
would
then
do
a
deeper
dive
which
would
be
kind
of
phase
two
of
the
project
listed.
There
are
different
tasks
that
they
would
complete.
One
of
the
optional
tasks
listed
is
a
study
of
Wolf
Creek,
going
through
Todd
Park
right
now.
That
may
not
be
necessary,
but
now
is
the
time
to
do
that.
L
Study
through
Todd
Park
we're
right
there.
If
we're
from
a
cost
standpoint,
it
would
be
the
time
to
do
it
not
knowing
when
we
may
need
that
modeling
sometime
in
the
future,
so
I
I.
Would
it's
a
it's
eighteen
thousand
dollars
of
the
overall
project,
cost
I
believe
it's
cost
more
cost
effective.
If
we
do
that
option
now,
so
I
would
recommend
that
we
do
that
as
part
of
the
overall
project.
This
is
this
takes
a
long
time
to
do.
L
The
study
get
the
review
comments
back
from
FEMA
make
any
changes
that
are
necessary,
it's
probably
about
a
12
to
18
month
process
and
the
costs
are
higher
than
what
we
talked
about
at
the
work
session.
Mainly
that's
involved
revolves
around
the
surveying
portion
of
the
project.
If
you
can
imagine
trying
to
survey
through
the
wooded
area
north
of
the
corporate
office,
that
can
be
a
very
arduous
task,
and
that
is
reflected
in
some
of
these
higher
surveying
costs.
L
But
we
will
look
around
see
if
we
can
bring
some
of
that
surveying
cost
down
as
we
look
for
different
Consultants.
That
could
help
us
with
that,
but
kind
of
a
worst
case
scenario.
Now
we
have
estimated
150
000
for
this
modeling
project
and
the
funds
for
this
would
come
through
our
local
option.
Sales
tax.
C
H
K
L
K
A
L
C
L
As
part
of
our
grants
and
loans
that
we
have
secured
for
the
treatment
plant
expansion,
we
need
to
ensure
to
the
state
that
we
own
the
property
and
that
way
we
and
we
will
maintain
ownership
throughout
the
the
length
of
the
loan
and
actually
125
percent
of
the
years
of
the
loan.
So
it
is
a
25,
a
20-year
loan.
So,
with
the
the
passage
of
this
document,
we're
ensuring
that
we
own
it,
we
will
maintain
ownership
for
25
years
to
secure
the
funding
that
we
need
for
the
project.
B
L
So
the
majority
of
the
work
is
going
on
inside
the
current
wastewater
treatment
plant
fence,
which
is
everything
between
the
Cedar
River
and
South
Main
Street.
We
currently
have
one
building
that
is
located
outside
of
that
we
have
a
building
located
west
of
South
Main
Street
by
behind
Saint
Marks
and
as
part
of
this
project,
all
of
the
work
will
be
done
inside
the
existing
fence.
D
C
L
Review
these
periodically,
usually
they
come
up
at
the
end
of
the
year.
The
reason
this
one
is
in
front
of
you
today
is
because
this
facility
changed
ownership,
so
we
want
to
get
the
new
owner
under
this
agreement
and
again
as
with
others.
This
regulates
flow
and
strength
coming
from
that
facility
that
tank
wash
located
at
617,
11th,
Street
Northeast
we
have
in
the
past,
had
some
concerns
or
issues
with
the
previous
facility
regarding
some
of
their
discharge.
L
So
we
are
maintaining
some
of
those
restrictions
and
requirements
that
we
had
applied
to
the
previous
facility.
Those
are
carrying
forward
to
the
new
one
and
with
those
changes
and
additions
with
the
new
ownership,
we
would
recommend
approval
of
this
agreement.
Normally
we
do
a
three-year
because
we're
in
the
middle
of
middle
of
a
year
right
now,
we'd
request
extending
this
agreement
out
to
December
31st
of
2026
with
Austin
and
Tank
Wash
LLC.

Thank
you,

with
those
that
needed
more
resolution
to
approve
so.
F
N
This
property
is
a
multi-unit
residential
property,
the
big
takeaways
tonight
actually
the
in
this
instance.
We
need
to
do
a
joint
resolution,
so
the
City
of
Austin
would
need
to
approve
this
resolution,
and
the
Austin
Township
will
be
also
looking
at
this
resolution
at
their
meeting
this
evening
and
I
would
normally
attend.
But
I
have
a
work
session
item
and
they
graciously
said
they
would
just
move
forward
without
me,
but
it
shouldn't
shouldn't
be
a
problem.
This
is
pretty
much
exactly
the
same
as
all
the
other
annexation
agreements
that
we've
done
with
Austin
Township.
N
B
N
Yeah,
and
so
that's
one
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
doing
a
joint
resolution
versus
other
options,
which
may
include
like
annexation
by
ordinance
in
which
we
could
just
move
forward
independently
without
the
township
approval.
But
in
this
instance
it
is
non-contiguous,
but
that
doesn't
impact
our
ability
to
Annex
the
property.
And
there
is
sewer
connection
available
out
there.
B
N
Yeah
Council
our
mayor
and
council
members
during
the
May
9th
2023
meeting
of
the
Austin
Planning
Commission,
the
commission
reviewed
offense
appeal,
submitted
by
Heather
Knutson
for
a
proposed
six-foot
privacy
fence
installed
on
the
property
line
of
the
rear
side
yard.
The
property
is
located
on
a
corner
lot.
Our
ordinance
requires
a
12
and
a
half
foot
setback
from
the
property
line
for
privacy,
fences
on
Corner
lot
side
yards,
the
Planning
Commission
with
six
members
present
voted
unanimously
to
recommend
to
council
to
approve
the
fence
appeal.
N
Yeah,
this
is
also
again
from
the
Planning
Commission.
As
noted,
the
petitioner
Brian
Bakken
requested
a
variance
from
our
ordinance
requiring
a
total
aggregate
area
of
accessory
structures
to
be
limited
to
1800
square
feet
for
properties
exceeding
one
acre
located
within
an
R1
single
family
residence.
District
petitioner
has
requested
a
240
square
foot
variance
to
do
an
addition
onto
one
of
his
detached
garages.
The
home
currently
does
not
have
an
attached
garage,
so
the
petitioner
has
exceeded.
N
As
noted,
the
aggregate
limit,
the
petition
or
the
property
in
question
is
approximately
1.1
Acres,
with
the
proposed
Edition.
The
total
lock
coverage
with
structures
would
be
approximately
seven
percent.
Forty
percent
is
allowed
after
review
the
Planning
Commission
again
with
six
members
president
unanimously
recommended
to
a
recommend
approval
to
the
city
council.
N
Planning
Commission
made
the
following
findings
regarding
this
request
that
the
requested
variance
is
in
harmony
with
the
general
purposes
and
intent
of
the
zoning
ordinance.
The
variance
if
granted,
would
not
alter
the
essential
character
of
the
locality
in
which
the
property
is
situated,
that
there
are
circumstances
unique
to
the
property
not
created
by
the
landowner,
and
that
the
landowner
intends
to
use
the
land
in
a
reasonable
manner,
not
permitted
by
the
ordinance.
C
N
Also,
a
garage
Edition,
but
a
little
bit
different
issue.
The
petitioners
requested
to
build
an
addition
which
would
be
Point
within
0.5
feet
or
half
foot
of
the
property
line.
At
its
closest
point,
the
property
in
question
is
approximately
a
third
of
an
acre
with
this
proposed
Edition.
The
total
lock
coverage
of
structures
would
be
approximately
27
percent.
40
percent
allowed
the
Planning
Commission
with
six
members
present
voted
unanimously
to
approve
to
recommend
approval
to
the
city
council
with
the
same
recommendations
as
the
prior.

M
O
Actually,
today,
I
am
just
really
here
to
say
thank
you.
We
have
just
completed
leadership
Boston
our
17th
cohort
and
Denver
was
one
of
the
people
in
my
cohort,
and
the
success
of
this
program
would
happen
without
this.
The
City
of
Austin
and
the
many
department
heads
that
help
us
Craig
appreciate
your
help
with
the
government
day.
O
Chief
McCoy.
Thank
you
very
much
for
giving
people
the
opportunity
to
save
the
baby
again
this
year.
That
was
good
and
chief
McKee
can
also
it
was
very
informative
to
them
and
thank
you,
Dave
Merrill,
for
your
help
and
Julie
and
I
also
wanted
to
just
let
you
know
there
are
25
new
leaders
ready
to
go
to
work,
so
we
need
to
give
them
opportunities
to
engage
yes,
Denver
I
see
you
I
know
you're
engaged,
but
we
need
to
get
together.
O
O
O
Yeah
we
are
open
in
accepting
registrations
for
people
being
look
forward
to
having
all
of
your
smiling
faces.
You
can
join
us
in
the
parade
or
attending
the
parade.
We're
excited
this
year
to
be
recognizing
Glenn
Baker
as
our
Grand
Marshal,
so
that
would
be
super
fun
and
I
want
to
thank
Dave
for
his
extra
help.
Recently,
we
recorded
a
chamber
chat
about
the
emerald
ash
or
situation
and
trying
to
clarify
that.
O
O
O
C
P
Do
have
a
few
things
first,
thanks
to
everyone
of
the
Hometown
Food
security
project,
as
somebody
who
grew
up
food,
insecure
those
meals
and
assistance
that
we
received
kept
a
roof
over
my
family's
head
and
clothes
on
our
back,
and
so
you
really
never
do
know
what
the
face
of
that
hungry
child
looks
like
and
there's
one
sitting
here
in
front
of
you
today.
So
thank
you
taste
of
Nations
is
this
weekend.
It
is
the
20th
down
at
the
banchell
park
from
11
to
3.
P
If
you
aren't
sick
of
hearing
my
voice
already
I'll
be
on
stage
all
day
emptying
so
come
on
down
and
then,
finally,
next
week
on
the
23rd,
there
is
a
ribbon
cutting
at
Nexus
Gerard.
So
it's
to
the
family,
Healing
Center-
and
this
is
a
great
organization
that,
when
you
think
of
Gerard
a
lot
of
time,
you
think
of
the
students
there,
but
this
is
really
about
healing
the
whole
family
and
giving
them
private
space
to
become
that
family
unit
that
they're
striving
to
so
come
out
to
that
ribbon.
Cutting
that's
all
thank.
C
H
H
Our
wastewater
treatment
plant
was
down
to
3.5
million
in
appropriation
in
a
in
what
they
referred
to
as
the
cash
Bill
late
influx
takes
us
back
to
the
14.5
million
of
the
spreadsheet
that
they've
released
I'm,
not
sure
of
the
actual
time
that
they're
going
to
vote
on
it
at
the
legislature,
but
kind
of
a
minute
by
minute
proposition
of
dysfunction,
but
hopefully
we'll
come
out
with
14
and
a
half
million
at
the
end
of
the
rainbow
here.
So
otherwise,
Mr
Lang
has
an
item
Stephen.
L
I
just
wanted
to
mention
the
electronics
recycling
event
was
on
Saturday.
It
was
a
wet
event,
but
we
made
it
through
and
it
was
down
a
little
bit
from
past
years.
I
don't
know
if
that
was
due
to
the
weather
or,
if
mainly,
we've.
Finally
caught
up
with
some
of
the
influx
of
electronics
in
the
community,
but
I
just
want
to
let
everybody
know
we
still
received
about
five
console
TVs.
L
A
lot
of
the
tube
TVs
were
down
this
year.
Finally,
so
it
was
a
good
event
and
we'll
see
how
things
move
forward
next
year
with
the
counties
proposed:
electronics,
recycling,
building,
Edition.
So
we'll
see
this
may
be
the
last
year
of
our
Citywide
event
and
it
may
be
available
through
the
county
on
an
everyday
or
or
weekly
basis.
We'll
monitor
that
as
it
as
that
moves
forward.
So
just
wanted
to
say
thanks
to
the
volunteers
that
showed
up,
got
whacked
and
helped
out
with
the
event.
So
thank
you.
E

At
our
last
meeting,
the
parks,
recreation
forestry
board
approved
the
design
for
a
mural
that
will
go
on
the
East
wall
of
the
pool.
Building
this
summer
we
were
able
to
get
some
Grant
funds
through
the
culture
and
arts
commission
to
pay
for
that
mural,
and
so
we
got
to
see
the
preliminary
design
and
approve
it.
If
you
want
to
see
the
preliminary
design
and
meet
the
artists
that
are
putting
it
up,
they
will
be
at
Taste
of
Nations,
which
Denver
mentioned
on
Saturday.
E
E
E
B
Mike
couple
things:
first
of
all,
I
really
want
to
shout
out
everybody
Bonnie
Ritz
and
her
team
with
the
common
chords
right.
Bringing
that
to
Austin
was
just
phenomenal.
I
got
a
chance
to
see
everybody
talking,
everybody
playing
throughout
town
I
know
they
were
all
over
the
place.
I
got
the
chance
to
have
a
rehearsal
with
musicians
from
Juilliard
I
mean
it
was
pretty
amazing,
so
really
cool.
Thank
you.
I
know
a
lot
of
work
went
into
how
well
that
was
organized.
B
Secondly,
go
Austin
Bruins
excited
to
see
that
they
have
made
the
Robertson
cup
I
believe
it's
called
so
exciting
and
kind
of
sad
that
we
apparently
don't
have
any
more
home
games
here,
but
we
got
to
use
that
building
as
late
as
possible
for
hockey.
So
that's
exciting
and
then
just
kind
of
a
reminder
as
to
how
much
progress
and
change
is
happening.
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
ago,
I
found
myself
at
four
different
groundbreaking
or
Ribbon
cuttings
in
a
row.
I
was
at
the
Oakland
house
for
the
new
cab
building.
B
The
HRA
had
an
open
house
for
the
one
that
Riverland
students
built
that'll,
be
for
sale
soon,
the
groundbreaking
for
the
new
child
care
center
and
then
the
Morningstar
Adult
Day
Care,
Center,
literally
Monday
through
Thursday
every
day.
There
was
something
happening
and
it's
just
great
to
see
so
much
new
development
and
so
much
new
things
being
poured
into
our
community.
So
I
appreciate
everybody
working
hard
to
make
that
happen.
F
Two
quick
things:
the
Minnesota
Legislature
is
winding
down
its
work
this
year
and
when
faced
with
a
17
billion
dollar
Surplus
they're,
adding
10
billion
dollars
in
new
taxes.
You
know
we
we
talk
about.
You
know,
there's
more
money
for
this
or
more
money
for
that.
Well,
it
comes
on
the
backs
of
employers
and
employees
and
I
I.
You
know
this
is
probably
going
to
be
one
of
the
greatest
overreaches
in
modern
history.
I'd
encourage
you
to
contact
the
governor,
probably
in
vain,
but
we've
got.
F
We've
got
real
tax
competitiveness
problems
facing
our
state
and
I'd,
encourage
you
to
think
about
it.
In
those
terms,
on
a
much
more
uplifting
note,
Wednesday
from
four
to
seven
at
Riverside
or
Packer.
I'm
sorry
is
the
Mower
County
CEO
trade
show
I,
think
there's
a
fair
number
of
parents
here
of
Mower
County
CEO
alums,
and
they
can
tell
you
what
a
cool
deal
it
is.
F
You
get
to
see
a
group
of
22
or
so
high
school,
juniors
and
seniors
that
have
put
together
their
own
businesses
and
they're
selling
their
own
Wares
and
I
got
to
tell
you
it's
an
exciting
event.
An
interesting
statistic
about
that
class
is
this
is
the
fifth
class
that
has
taken
Mower,
County,
well,
pachelli
and
and
Austin
High
students.
The
average
number
of
white
males
in
that
class
is
three,
so
it's
it's
a
group
of
young
people
that
really
really
reflect
on
our
community
and
really
reflect
on
them.
M
A
A
You
know
like
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
I
just
wasn't
sure
that
school
was
for
me
like
I,
knew
I
was
smart,
but
I
wasn't
sure
that
I
could
do
this,
and
now
he's
like
I've,
launched
the
business
I'm
making
money
on
the
business
I'm
going
to
graduate
this
spring
he's
like
I
know:
I
can
do
anything
now,
and
so
that
is
the
power
of
that
program.
Well,
beyond
the
numbers,
City
of
Austin
survey
is
live
now.
A
C
K
C
You
guys
have
set
the
table
nicely.
I
was
going
to
comment
on
this.
I
want
to
publicly
recognize
the
council
for
the
work
they
do.
It's
not
only
visible
here
on
your
first
and
third
Mondays,
but
the
impact
you
have
every
day
through
your
thoughtfulness
and
you're,
engaging
in
the
compute
Community,
whether
it's
attending
a
ribbon,
cutting
or
or
any
other
activity
or
any
or
commission
that
you
might
serve
on.
So
this
is
a
job
that
is,
is
a
sacrifice
for
families.
C
It's
a
sacrifice
for
your
professions
and
anybody
that
knows
you,
but
it's
it,
certainly,
as
the
public
might
see
a
first
and
third
Monday
meeting
is
far
more
than
that
and
I
really
do
appreciate
the
engagement
that
you
guys
bring
to
it,
and
with
that
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
it's
my
24th
wedding
anniversary
to
my
loved
one
by
Shelley,
and
she
when
I
asked
what
she
might
want
to
do.
She
said
I
think
you
might
want
to
go
to
council.
So
I,
don't
know
what
that
really
means.
So
here.
