Thanks for joining us, this edition of the council recap: council met Monday, April, 15th.

Of business was awarding bids for different street projects. First, one was 6th Street northeast. The assessment totals residents in there didn't, like those totals so ended up. Council rejected the bids for that project and there'll be no assessments. As far as that project is concerned, we awarded a bid to Yulin brothers for to supply our bituminous material, which is asphalt for patching and road projects in there in the community. These are the ones done by the city.

Specifically, we also awarded the 6th Street than 11th Avenue Northwest bids were in for that one Newland Brothers got the bid. It was a little bit over the engineer's estimate project total one million three hundred forty four thousand dollars roughly. This is the second year of that project. In this area we also awarded a bid for removal of the Baldwin lift station sixth Avenue Northwest Mellon overlay.

The bid went to elk or moving on. We had a change order, we're trying to clean up the waste water treatment plant, forgive the pun for future improvements out there. We needed a get rid of a Lowell rate, filter building demolition contractors. Twenty two thousand five hundred we also looked at that makes the new total there two hundred and nine thousand dollars after we did a change order for that project.

We approved a farm lease on the cook farm, also known as Creekside business farm out north of town we've approved at least four with Anderson farms for five thousand four hundred forty dollars. We also approve sale of Public Works equipment. We have to do that anytime, we're selling any public property and we'll sell that at the police auction. We also awarded a contract for removal, M Hoff, building at the wastewater treatment facility, again clearing the way for future upgrades out there.

This was a 1930s building and that also went to cook incorporated who did the one? Also on the council agenda this evening we approved not doing the audit for the blazing star trail. We had a limited amount of funds in there with the city of Albert Lea and because of the limited amount and no activity, or we requested not having to do an audit with the council and they approved that and we sold some temporary fencing. We also had a couple sign appeals.

One of them we removed from the agenda will be able to approve that administrative Lea for the Ford and Dodge dealership out on West Oakland, and then we also approved a sign for two key apartments there over by the Community College. We also had a settlement agreement with a police officer for the City of Austin, as well as sanitary sewer award down in the bandshell Park area.

We want to eliminate sewer down there that was serviced them for service former homes down in that area and that can help eliminate some of the inflow and infiltration called I and I, which is just water into the sewer system. That makes it costly for us to treat council prove that in the amount of two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, otherwise that pretty well rounded out the council meeting appreciate you taking the time again to learn about the council activities.

If you have questions on this, these or any other items, just let me know my number four three, seven, nine nine forty one we'd love to help you otherwise have a great day.
