The
cleanliness
in
mowing
of
the
green
space,
the
bandshell
park,
where
the
concert
was
I've,
never
seen
this
city
vacuum
truck
before.
But
it
showed
up
on
sunday
to
unplug
a
drain
that
was
clogged
after
the
rain
in
the
center
of
the
whole
thing,
and
it
was
an
amazing
truck
so
and
our
youngest
artist
loved
the
snowplow
blade
painting
so
much.
G
Literally
people
came
from
everywhere
and
they
were
also
happy
to
see
the
city
of
austin
looking
so
beautifully
and
so
well
prepared
for
the
event,
and
we
want
you
to
thank
all
of
your
staff
for
us
because
they
literally
they
contribute
so
much
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
how
much
they
contribute
to
make
the
event
so
great.
So
thank
you
very.
Very
much
now
laura
is
going
to
say
a
few
words.
H
I'm
laura
halley
executive
director
of
austin
area
arts.
My
task
is
to
just
give
you
a
couple
of
highlights
of
the
festival
and
I,
although
I
could
go
on
and
on,
I
will
be
very
brief
and
say
by
far
the
standout
experience
I
think,
was
the
gear
daddy's
concert
at
the
bandshell
park.
Many
of
you
were
there.
It
was
a
night
where
we
really
were
biting
our
nails
with
the
weather,
but
as
it
turned
out,
it
was
just
a
really
memorable
experience
and
I
we
appreciate
being
able
to
use
the
park
and
I'll
tell
you.
H
We
fill
over
200
volunteer
shifts
over
the
weekend
and
by
the
end
of
the
week,
going
into
festival,
they
were
all
full
and
we
had
waiting
lists
of
people
who
said
well.
If
someone
cancels,
I
want
to
volunteer
that
kind
of
support,
I
think,
is
a
demonstration
of
how
much
the
festival
touches.
So
many
different
people
in
our
community
that
they
want
to
give
back,
and
I
also
know
that
many
of
those
volunteers
are
here
in
this
room
in
different
capacities.
H
So
thank
you
very
much
and
then
finally,
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that
this
is
the
final
year
under
the
leadership
of
bonnie
and
mary
ann
they've
been
a
power
team
for
quite
some
time
and
they're
moving
on
to
other
projects,
and
so
our
new
co-chairs
going
into
next
year
will
be
jeff,
baldus
and
lisa
dunlop.
And
if
you
would
indulge
me
in
a
round
of
applause
for
bonnie
and
marianne.
I
I
My
job
or
our
job
this
evening
is
to
bring
the
the
city
choice
to
council
and
for
10
years
we've
carried
it
in.
It's
been
a
picture
and
it's
around
the
council
chambers
and
all
around
city
hall
are
paintings
well
paul
and
joyce
did
something
a
little
different
this
year
and
it
was
really
funny.
Joyce
was
in
paul,
we're
so
excited
they
when
they
were
taking
us
over
to
what
they
had
chosen.
They
said
it's
around
the
corner
and
around
the
corner,
and
then
we
saw
it's
in
the
back
here.
I
It's
a
metal
work,
that's
going
to
be
going
out
to
the
nature
center
and
it's
absolutely
beautiful.
We
had
it's
very
heavy.
We
had
to
put
it
on
the
moving
cart
with
two
guys.
You
know
drive
it
down
the
sidewalk,
put
it
in
front
of
city
hall,
and
when
I
came
tonight
it
wasn't
there
I'm
going
where
is
it
and
craig
said
it's
right
there,
so
beautiful
choice?
Thank
you
very
much
and
and
each
year
the
city
council.
I
E
Well,
the
festival
was
fantastic,
as
it
always
is
paul,
and
I
we
went
in
with
an
open
mind
of
course
and
visited
all
the
artists
walked
around
several
times.
I
think
two
or
three
times
three,
maybe,
and
each
time
we
came
kept
coming
back
to
this
piece.
You
know
anybody
that
can
take
a
pile
of
junk
and
turn
it
into
something
like
that.
That's
art
and
and
right
away.
It
spoke
to
us
of
the
nature
center,
so
yeah,
it's
different
and
fun
and
the
the
artist
has
been
here.
E
I
J
Want
to
make
no,
it
was.
It
was
a
lot
of
wonderful
things
to
choose
from.
It
was
very
hard
decision.
First
of
all,
thank
all
of
you.
I
mean
the
weekend
was
amazing.
The
the
arts,
the
entertainment,
the
whole
weekend
was
just
incredible,
like
you
said
people
from
all
over,
so
it
was
great.
Thank
all
of
you.
J
It
was
a
tough
choice,
but
joyce
and
I
walked
around
three
times
worse
two
times
I
I
went
through
and
said
I
I
got
nothing,
I
don't
know,
and
then
we
walked
around
and
this
jumped
out
and
to
talk
to
this
gentleman
and
how
he
made
it.
It's
almost
like
an
outdoor
swamp
he's
got
the
swan
and
the
cat
tails
and
everything
it
was
just
so
fitting
and
a
small
world
that
it
is.
There
was
a
picture
of
me
and
joyce.
J
I
think
it
was
keith
was
his
name
that
she
put
on
facebook
for
the
arts
festival.
Well,
I've
got
an
old
teacher
of
mine,
a
pacelli,
that's
a
priest
of
the
mankato
area.
That
said
paul.
These
folks
are
my
parishioners.
I
thought
wow
small
world.
We
picked
this
guy
out
of
nowhere
and
you
know
we've
got
a
mutual
acquaintance,
so
no
it's!
It
was
great
to
choose
that.
I
Well,
isn't
it
I
knew
you
had
told
me
that
story
and
that's
pretty
amazing.
I
mean
pretty
small
world
yeah
and
and,
as
you
know,
with
a
festival
like
this,
it's
not
just
marianne
and
I
there
are
28
people
who
sit
on
the
steering
committee.
We
have
co-chairs
for
all
of
the
committees
and
they
all
we
do
their
work
and
then
we
get
together
and
accomplish
it.
But
it's
the
work
of
many
and
I'm
very
proud
of
what
laura
said
about
the
volunteers.
I
C
C
C
C
Last
proclamation
is
for
welcoming
week,
whereas
the
city

That
will
bring
diverse

I

austin
do
hereby
proclaim
september
9th
through
september
18th
2022.
As
welcoming
week,
2022.
K
L
For
the
past
five
six
years,
mndot
has
been
working
on
a
plan
to
develop
a
project
for
replacement
of
eight
bridges
through
austin
and
such
a
large
project
like
this
triggers
a
municipal
consent
process.
There
are
the
municipal
consent
process
is,
is
laid
out
in
state
statute
and
there
are
multiple
steps
as
part
of
that
process.
Municipal
consent
process
a
key
portion
of
that
being
the
public
hearing
that
we're
having
here
tonight.
L
But,
as
you
can
see
with
your
council
backup,
there
is
a
great
deal
of
information
that
that
is
also
part
of
this
municipal
consent
process.
That's
been
detailed
out
for
you.
The
the
goal
of
the
public
hearing
tonight
will
be
to
have
a
presentation
from
mndot
on
the
overall
project,
listen
and
accept
input
from
the
public
and
then
also
have
council
discussion
on
the
different
topics
that
are
involved,
but
there's
no
action
required
at
tonight's
meeting.
It's
just
the
public
hearing.
L
We
then
look
to
bring
back
in
the
very
near
future
to
council
any
additional
discussion
and
a
resolution
on
the
overall
municipal
consent
process.
So
there
will
be
a
resolution
and
action
required
of
counsel,
hopefully
at
the
next
meeting.
If
if
more
discussion
is
required,
it
could
be
pushed
back
a
little
bit
farther
as
well,
but
we'll
see
where
that
goes
after
tonight's,
munich,
public
hearing.
L
So
there's
there's
key
parts
of
this
process,
and
I
have
those
laid
out
on
sheet
page
two
of
the
council
memo
again.
The
presentation
by
mndot
and
their
consultant.
Srf
mndot
submitted
a
re
municipal
consent
letter
to
the
city
that
detailed
different
timelines
that
we
needed
to
to
meet
a
key
part
of
this
process
is
the
good
faith
estimate
it's
important
for
council
to
know
what
our
local
community
share
of
this
overall
project
is.
So
I
want
to
jump
forward
in
the
handouts
to
that
breakdown
of
costs
and
in
your
overall
pdf.
L
L
So
things
like
upgraded,
railings,
staining
or
or
surface
textures
to
the
bridges,
wider
sidewalks,
those
those
sorts
of
things
all
fall
under
that
aesthetic
cost.
That
mndot
will
cover
up
to
seven
percent
of
the
overall
bridge
project
cost,
and
then
the
city
is
responsible
for
anything
above
that,
so
they
look
at
each
individual
bridge.
We
have
that
laid
out
for
you
here.
The
highway,
105
bridge
or
oakland
avenue,
west
mndot
would
cover
up
to
272
thousand
dollars
the
local
cost
or
the
aesthetic
cost
for
this
bridge
is
less
than
that.
L
It's
a
hundred
and
forty
one
thousand
so
there's
no
local
cost.
It's
all
covered
under
mndot
seven
percent.
Likewise
with
the
14th
street
northwest
bridge
that
one
the
seven
percent
mndot
cap
is
about
185
000,
but
because
that
is
a
primary
structure,
there's
a
few
more
upgrades
to
it.
The
total
aesthetic
cost
is
275
000,
which
does
create
a
local
share
of
90
000.
For
that
difference,
above
and
beyond
what
mndot
would
cover
at
4th
street
mndot
is
covering
100
of
the
aesthetic
costs
on
that
one.
L
But
there
are
other
costs
associated
with
the
fourth
street
bridge
that
fall
under
the
city's
requirement.
That
would
be
retaining
walls.
Some
of
the
surface
finishes
for
the
retaining
walls
are
above
mndot's
coverage,
so
the
city,
the
estimated
cost
for
the
city.
There
is
just
over
76
000.
our
portion
of
the
signal
light.
We
pay
1
6
of
the
signal
light
that
is
proposed
at
4th
street
bridge.
L
They
look
at
all
the
different
connecting
points
and
determine
what
is
our
responsibility
that
is
estimated
at
84
000..
We've
talked
about
the
roadway
extension
to
the
south
of
the
4th
street
bridge
down
to
13th
avenue
in
front
of
burger
king
quik
trip
hardee's
and
the
new
scooter's
coffee.
That
is
a
100
percent
local
cost,
estimated
at
309
000..
L
L
In
addition
to
those
costs,
mndot
has
estimated
an
inflationary
factor
for
our
local
costs
at
136
000,
and
then
we
have
the
fourth
street
extension
again
that
roadway
extension
down
to
13th
avenue.
We
have
design
costs
associated
with
that.
So
in
total
we
have
a
total
estimated
cost
for
mndot.
That's
as
of
about
the
end
of
august.
Those
costs
are
estimated
at
920
809
dollars
so
about
921
thousand
dollars.
L
L
L
L
Then
there's
also
been
some
discussion
regarding
noise
impacts
of
the
project
and
just
in
general,
noise
impacts
of
I-90.
So
there
was
a
noise
evaluation
to
determine
if
a
study
would
be
required
as
part
of
this
project.
That
information
is
included
for
you
and,
as
you
know,
this
project
did
not
trigger
a
noise
study.
So
I
did.
I
include
a
previous
memo
that
was
sent
out
to
council
detailing
how
those
noise
studies
are
evaluated.
L
What
other
options
the
city
has
if
we
wanted
to
move
forward
with
the
noise
study
in
the
future
and
what
grants
are
possibly
available
out
there
and
then
also
what
other
areas
along
I-90
could
be
looked
at
as
as
a
possible
noise
receptor
that
we
may
want
to
consider
if
a
noise
study
is
moved
forward
by
the
council
at
a
later
date
and
then.
Lastly,
a
key
part
of
this
is
the
cedar
river
bridges.
L
L
So
a
hydraulic
study
was
done
to
make
sure
that
the
new
bridges
will
still
have
the
same
hydraulics
they
they
will
still
handle
the
same,
a
similar
amount
of
water.
So
we
don't
want
the
bridge
opening
to
be
larger,
push
more
water
down
on
main
street.
We
also
don't
want
it
to
be
smaller
and
cause
impacts
upstream.
L
So
we
that
has
been
looked
at
both
the
before
and
after
effects
of
the
new
bridges
and
also
looking
at
what
happens
during
construction,
making
sure
that,
while
these
bridges
are
under
construction,
there
isn't
an
impact
upstream
that
last
key
portion
of
it.
If
you
recall
there
was
I
sent
out
an
email
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
those
right
now
it
looks
like
when
they
are
building
some
of
the
piers.
L
L
We
turn
it
over
to
folks
for
a
presentation
tonight.
We
have
jai
kelsey
with
mndot
and
dave
nelson
with
srf.
They
came
and
presented
to
you
folks
about
a
year
ago
to
talk
about
how
this
process
was
going
to
work.
So
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
them
now,
they'll
run
through
a
presentation
for
council.
A
A
Steven
did
a
very
nice
job
at
laying
out
some
of
the
pre-text
for
tonight's
meeting.
This
is,
as
he
noted,
required
by
state
statute,
primarily
because
this
project
will
require
small
amounts
of
right-of-way
acquisition
and
a
couple
of
the
interchanges
and
we'll
go
through
that
as
part
of
our
presentation.
A
I
do
want
to
make
a
note.
Stephen
did
bring
up
the
cost
estimate.
That
is
a
good
faith,
cost
estimate
based
on
the
level
of
design
where
we're
at
we're
at
approximately
25
design.
Those
costs
are
projected
based
on
what
we
know
today
and
that
does
include
inflationary
costs,
but
just
a
word
of
caution.
I
think
we
all
know
that
the
current
bidding
environment
has
been
a
little
challenging.
A
Those
costs
could
change.
They
could
also
change.
As
we
discover
more
information
as
a
project
develops,
we
will
be
communicating
at
different
intervals
on
the
project
at
our
thirty
percent
design.
Sixty
and
ninety
percent
design
milestones.
If
there's
any
changes
to
the
cost,
we'll
let
you
know
as
soon
as
possible.
Part
of
my
job
is
to
make
sure
there
aren't
any
surprises
with
the
cost
for
our
local
partners.
M
Mayor
and
council
members,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
update
you
folks,
on
where
we're
at
in
the
design
and
what
I'd
like
to
do
is.
As
you
know,
this
is
a
corridor-wide
project
on
I-90
in
austin.
So,
as
steven
pointed
out,
it's
at
particular
interchange
areas
and
basically
the
project
consists
of
bridge
reconstruction,
mndot's,
making
a
significant
investment
on
this
area
to
greatly
improve
the
quality
of
infrastructure
on
on
I-90
and
the
surrounding
area.
M
M
Like
I
said
I'll
start
on
the
west
end
of
town
and
work
our
way
east,
similar
to
what
steven
did
and
then
what
I'd
like
to
do
at
the
end,
once
we
get
done
with
each
location,
I'd
just
like
to
show
one
slide,
that
kind
of
summarizes
how
we,
how
we
foresee
construction
happening,
it'll,
be
a
multi-year
project
and
we've
kind
of
think
we
got
things
set
up
based
on
some
environmental
restrictions
with
the
river
and
then
traffic
control
constraints.
So
and
again,
at
that
point,
please
feel
free
to
ask
questions.
M
N
L
M
M
That
gets
us
through
most
of
the
construction
honestly
in
this
area,
once
the
contractor
would
need
to
make
the
connections
to
the
ramps
and
everything
be
short-term
closures,
but
the
essence
of
this
particular
design
it
improves
safety,
it
does
have
sufficient
capacity
for
future
traffic
volume
growth.
If
the
north
side
northwest
side
of
town
experiences
growth,
it
still
can
handle
a
lot
more
volume
there,
and
it
is
designed,
in
particular,
the
two
traffic
circles
there
are
designed
to
handle
a
large
tractor
trailer
rigs,
the
the
red
area
there
around
the
green
center
area.
M
M
M
As
you
can
see
here,
we
are
changing
the
interchange
configuration
here
at
four
street
significantly
we're
trying
to
clean
up
a
lot
of
the
ambiguity.
That's
involved
with
those
offset
ramps,
and
you
can
see
we're
tightening
things
up
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
highway,
which
is
just
steven
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago,
generating
the
need
for
some
retaining
walls.
M
But
the
bridge
itself
is
you
can
see
there,
it's
a
it's
a
fairly
square
structure
and
there's
a
there'll
be
one
traffic
signal
in
the
center
of
the
bridge
that
controls
all
the
left,
turning
movements
to
and
from
the
highway,
as
well
as
the
through
movements
on.
Fourth,
all
the
right
turning
movements
both
to
and
from
the
highway
are
yield
movements.
So
there's
no
other
traffic
signals
involved.
M
M
M
This
is
we're
still
at
4th
street
here,
as
jai
mentioned.
The
main
reason
that
the
project
is
triggering
the
municipal
consent
process
is
the
needed
purchase
of
right
away,
and
this
one,
you
can
hardly
see
it
there.
I'd
have
to
zoom
in,
but
it's
just
a
little
corner
on
the
very
south
western
tip
of
the
cemetery
and
it's
to
allow
us
to
get
a
adequate
turning
radius
so
that
we
can
accommodate
large
trucks
and
also
to
make
that
connection
there.
M
There's
the
trail
coming
from
the
river
there's
the
walkway
coming
from
the
north
and
then
our
walkway
coming
across
the
bridge,
so
there's
kind
of
a
an
area
where
three
walkways
are
coming
together
and
the
and
the
design
requirements
there
are
a
bit
tricky,
so
we
just
needed
a
little
bit
more
room
at
that
little
corner
there,
and
then
steven
talked
about
the
aesthetic
treatments.
This
is
a
a
sketch.
I
guess
I'll
call
it
of
what
the
fourth
street
structure
will
likely.
Look
like
it's.
M
In
accordance
with
the
visual
quality
manual
that
the
city
prepared
a
few
years
ago,
we
did
our
best
to
try
to
follow
the
intent
of
it.
You'll
notice,
there's
no
center
pier
in
this
bridge
and
the
abutments
are
straight
up
on
a
standard
bridge.
The
the
abutments
are
sitting
up
high
and
there's
some
slope
paving
down
and
normally
on
a
freeway
bridge.
There's
a
center
pier.
M
We
did
a
little
economic
trade-off
and
it's
actually
a
cheaper
structure.
This
way,
you'll
notice
the
decorative
railing
that
steven
pointed
out.
It's
got
that
nice
little
arched
shape
the
the
overhead
or
the
traffic
signal
is
that
that
gray,
a
bar
right
in
the
middle
there?
And
it's
actually
a
it's
a
it's,
a
large
tubular
structure.
M
Where
that
the
signal
heads
are
unknown
and
then
you'll
notice,
the
the
decorative
lighting
on
each
corner
of
the
bridge
and
then
the
top
the
top
view.
There
is
just
looking
in
the
direction
of
traffic
on
fourth
street,
so
you're
looking
perpendicular
to
90,
and
it's
just
again
the
illustrates
the
the
surface
treatment
and
the
coloring
we've
been
working
with
your
stakeholder
group
for
over
a
year
now
trying
to
refine
this
based
on
the
bridge
design.
M
And
then
again,
this
is
another
area
where,
because
we're
we're
improving
an
intersection
design,
we
are
requiring
a
strip
taking
a
permanent
ride
away
from
the
hotel
there.
You
can
kind
of
see
us
that
that
that
tan
or
yellow
line
there,
it's
about
10
extra
feet
of
width,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
have
positive
drainage
through
there
an
area
to
work.
O
M
Yes,
on
the
north
east
side
of
their
property,
we
don't
think
I
mean
it
doesn't
affect
any
of
the
the
hotel
structure
itself.
I
think
they
have
a
big
sign
there,
that
that
will,
in
the
in
the
legal
documents
of
the
of
the
right-of-way
transfer,
will
jay.
What's
the
term
we'll
separate
out
that
sign,
so
we're
not
affecting
it
at
all.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
we'll
have
to
move
the
sign
itself,
it's
just
the
land
under
it.
We
need
room
to
work.
A
M
M
Those
are
going
to
be
crossovers
when
we,
when
we
start
when
we
tear
down
the
existing
eastbound
river
bridge,
we
will
then
cut
traffic
down
to
one
lane
in
each
direction.
On
the
freeway
then
shift
those
two
lanes
to
the
westbound
side.
So
we've
got
all
the
traffic
on
the
freeway
and
the
westbound
side
between
those
two
crossover
areas.
M
And
then
in
so
that
happens
in
2024
in
2025
we
just
shift
things
around
and
do
the
westbound
bridge
traffic
gets
shifted
on
a
new
eastbound
bridge
so
that
the
work
in
red
there
is
going
to
happen
next
summer.
Just
about
now
so
just
about
a
year
from
now,
there'll
be
crews
out
on
the
highway
in
the
center
median,
getting
getting
that
area
suitable
to
handle
traffic
crossing
over
and
then
and
then
in
early
2024.
M
M
So
what
we're
going
to
suggest
to
the
contractor
is
that
they
start
down
on
oakland.
Do
the
bridge
demo
right
away
as
early
as
they
can
in
the
spring
then
get
the
foundation
out
of
the
ground
and
then
have
that
bridge
crew
shift
over
to
the
eastbound
river
bridge,
and
by
that
time
it
should
be
just
about
the
right
time
to
get
into
the
river
and
then
once
they
get
that
foundation
work
out
of
the
river
and
start
the
superstructure,
which
is
the
the
decking.
M
M
What
we're
what
we've
committed
to
is
keeping
while
we
have
fourth
street
closed
and
the
ramps
closed
there.
Fourth,
keeping
218
open
all
ramp
movements
open.
So,
for
instance,
when
the
eastbound
bridge
is
closed,
traffic
will
be
on
the
westbound
side
if
you're
at
218
north
and
you
want
to
get
on
the
highway
going.
Eastbound.
M
M
M
You
know
I,
I
appreciate
the
the
level
of
a
care
that
mndot
is
putting
into
this
we're
we're
attempting
to
match
the
level
of
interest
from
the
community,
and
it's
a
pleasure
working
here
just
by
seeing
all
the
the
public
interests
and
the
activities
and
so
forth.
We'll
do
our
best
to
like
jai,
said
to
keep
everybody
informed
of
both
the
costs
as
we
move
through
the
design
process.
M
But
as
we
get
closer
to
next
year
and
construction
they'll,
be,
I
do
want
to
mention
we're
planning
another
public
open
house
meeting
not
too
not
too
far
away
here,
maybe
a
month
or
so
maybe
a
month
and
a
half
out
to
cover
exist
exactly
that.
Give
folks
an
idea
of
the
timing
of
what's
going
to
happen,
what
it's
going
to
look
like
and
how
traffic
is
going
to
be
maintained.
So
thank
you.
P
M
A
Q
You
know,
I
think
a
number
of
us
have
been
to
the
betteners
and
the
quid
nows
and
their
backyards
are
not
livable
because
of
the
highway
sound.
I
think
I
think
we've
talked
about
this.
I
think
steven's
done
some
nice
work
on
it,
but
you
know
I
look
at
this
and
and
folks
I
got
to
tell
you
the
you
know
a
couple
things
just
just
popped
to
mind.
Q
I
know
that's
easier
said
than
done
and
I'm
sure
steven's
if
he
had
a
dart
he'd,
throw
it
at
me
right
now,
but
I
you
know
the
guys
you
you
look
at
this
and
we
spent
all
this
time
looking
for
bald
eagle
impacts
and
migratory,
wet
waterfowl
impacts
and
historical
impacts,
and
we
kind
of
give
these
people.
You
know
with
no
offense
intended
almost
a
bureaucratic
answer
that
says.
Q
Well,
we
really
can't
help
you
because
you
bought
wrong
and
you
know-
and
I
know
we're
talking
about
you-
know
millions
of
dollars
to
address
the
you
know
the
noise
issues
that
some
of
these
folks
are
having,
and
the
big
question
is
who
pays
obviously,
but
I
just
like
to
feel
a
little
bit
better
about
this
project.
If
we
can,
I
don't
know
if
that
I'll
get
off
my
soapbox.
A
A
A
As
noted,
we
didn't
look
at
the
analysis
or
the
whether
it's
triggering
a
certain
noise
study
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Unfortunately,
it
didn't
having
said
that,
though,
I
think
mndot
is
interested
in
in
trying
to
continue
looking
at
other
alternatives,
such
as
the
standalone
noise
barrier
program
and
to
the
extent
that
we
can
assist
with
facilitating
an
application
for
that.
I
think
we're
we're,
certainly
wanting
to
assist
with
that.
So
we
we
don't
want
to
close
the
door
on
the
concern
here.
We
understand
there's
a
concern.
C
B
I
would
just
you
know,
I
think,
before
we
move
off
that,
though
I
think
to
amplify
the
voice
of
of
councilman
baker.
Yeah,
anything
you
guys
can
do
would
be
much
appreciated
because
I
get
the
requirements
and
you
know
we've
got
to
have
consistency
from
a
state
standpoint,
but
you
know
having
sat
in
that
backyard
and
kind
of
listening
to
it.
There's
a
point,
and
I
think
it's
worth
taking
a
look
and
so
yeah
any
assistance.
We'd
appreciate
it.
C
R
R
R
When
the
noise
study
was
done,
I
can
tell
you
the
three
homes
that
were
the
closest
to
the
interstate.
It
was
dr
nessie's
hardwicks
and
mrs
baudler's,
and
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
aware
of
the
area,
mrs
butler's
home
would
be
the
northwest
end
of
the
berm
that
goes
from
2nd
street
down
past
barley's
to
north
main
street.
R
Otherwise
that
was
an
open
field,
thus
the
name
pasture
heights.
There
was
nothing
else
there,
so
I
don't
really
believe
the
animals
and
the
birds
in
the
pasture
were
too
concerned
about
the
noise
study
and,
to
give
you
a
little
background
two
winners
ago,
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
we
thought
our
roof
was
falling
in
well.
Mndot
was
clearing
the
interstate.
R
R
R
R
Ridgeway
saint
charles
dover,
iota
rochester,
stewartville,
dexter,
haywood,
elberly,
alden
blue
earth.
Go
keen,
welcome,
sherburne,
fairmont,
alpha
jackson
and
worthington
that
the
interstate
passes
within
that
close
to
a
residential
neighborhood,
and
I
think
you
have
to
go
beyond
worthington
to
probably
beaver
creek
before
you
find
another
neighborhood
that
that's
close
and
to
give
you
to
give
you
an
eye
to
give
you
an
idea.
R
R
R
R
R
R
J
Well,
my
only
thought
is
to
be
fair
to
everybody
from
21st
street
northeast
to
oakland
avenue
in
the
west
end.
Where
do
you
start
and
stop
with
a
wall,
because
everybody's
close
and
you
go
to
hole
all
the
way
around
all
the
way
through
town?
You
know
because
you
can
go
out
buying
burger
king
and
those
forks
are
close.
So
I
get
people
that
live
over
northeast
they're
close,
so
where
the
problem
is.
Where
do
you?
I
don't
understand
how?
S
I
think
if
you
look
at
the
elevations
and
the
fact
that
they're
right
by
4th
street
and
6th
street
with
the
traffic
coming
on
and
getting
off
right
there
in
that
short
distance,
you
have
a
lot
of
acceleration
and
a
lot
of
braking
and
that's
what's
causing
the
problem
is
their
elevation.
If
you
go
to
the
west
that
area
between
4th
street
and
14th
street,
the
freeway
sits
below
the
property,
so
you
don't
get
the
noise,
like
you
do
in
this
area
or
any
of
the
other
areas
really
in
the
city.
I
don't
think
so.
S
I
think
that's
the
main
thing
that
they've
got
going
against
them.
I
guess
would
be
the
way
to
put
it
in
this
area
and
it
is
having
been
there.
I
mean
it
is
terrible
it
it's
even
worse
than
mr
cuedno
said,
standing
on
bedner's
back
patio.
You
you
to
me,
you
can't
hardly
carry
on
a
conversation,
so
I
think
the
least
we
could
do
is
figure
out
a
way
to
get
the
study
done.
Hopefully,.
C
I
think
it's
going
to
come
down
to
what
the
appetite
of
counsel
is
clearly
there's
two
sides
of
this
story,
and
I
I
saddened
that
you're
disappointed
to
me,
but
it's
not
the
first
time
you
can
just
ask
my
wife
she's,
often
disappointed
in
me
craig
and
I
did
stop
out.
It
is
noisy.
I
get
that
I
can
appreciate
the
mndot's
perspective.
Is
that
there's
no
structural
change
to
that
bridge?
C
In
fact
the
roadway,
I
guess
the
exit
ramp
is
moving
closer
to
the
freeway
away
from
the
home,
but
those
are
kind
of
the
rules
where
we're
at
you
know.
We
all
make
choices.
I
chose
to
live
backing
up
to
a
cemetery
that
might
freak
people
out.
I
get
it
that
was
my
choice.
To
move
there.
Freeway
was
there
when
you
lived
or
when
you
moved
in.
You
can
acknowledge
that.
C
So
it's
it
really
comes
down
to
the
appetite
of
what
the
city
as
a
whole
wants
to
tolerate.
I
think
that's
what
council
represents
is
the
whole
city
who
gets
the
bang
for
the
buck
when
you
perhaps
bought
land
at
a
discounted
rate,
because
it
was
close
to
the
freeway
might
have
enjoyed
the
benefit
of
having
that
lower
cost
land,
but
then
there
that's.
That
said
it
it's
up
to
us
to
look
at
the
whole
city
and
who's
impacted
and
how
we
can
again.
C
If
there
was
a
structural
change
like
adding
a
lane,
I
think
that'd
be
a
little
easier,
but
this
is
going
to
be
an
interesting
one.
How
this
comes
out.
No
doubt
I
see
both
sides
of
it.
It's
absolutely
noisy
if
there's
a
way
and
we'll
see
what
the
the
cost
benefit
analysis
comes
out
for
the
city
I
can
agree
with
councilmember
fisher
too,
is,
if
we
do
your
neighborhood
that
street,
where
does
it
end
the
crane
chapel
area
area?
C
T
Thank
you,
council
for
just
giving
me
a
brief
moment,
representative
mueller
and
thank
you
councilman
baker
and
those
of
you
who
went
out
to
the
the
property.
I
also
excuse
me.
I
also
did
have
a
chance
to
go
out
to
the
property
and
did
receive
a
call
from
city
missouri
clark
to
hear
both
sides
of
the
story.
T
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
that
is
missing
in
the
conversation
is
the
fact
that
what
is
being
kind
of
uses-
and
I
don't
want
to
use
excuse
as
as
a
measurement
stick
right
now-
is
what
we
have
set
out
from
the
state.
The
state
has
said.
These
are
the
matrices
that
we
use
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
should
have
a
noise
study
or
not
and
again,
councilman
fisher.
T
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
but
a
noise
study
would
be
able
to
determine
if
we
need
to
have
a
wall
there,
only
there
or
around
the
entire
thing,
it's
not
just
one
or
the
other.
There
is
another
option
as
well.
So
what
I
have
told
the
quinoas
and
the
vendors
is
that-
and
I
have
talked
to
michael
doherty
as
well
from
mndot,
the
administrator
or
the
director
of
district
six
is.
I
have
asked
to
see
the
matrices
and
I've
read
through
the
report.
T
T
But
I
think
that
we
as
a
council
also
you
as
a
council,
need
to
be
able
to
advocate
for
your
constituents
at
the
state
and
say
mndot
it's
time
for
you
to
look
at
your
matrix
days
and
it's
time
for
you
to
update
how
you
determine
who
gets
a
noise
study,
and
so
I
think,
that's
part
of
the
conversation
that
needs
to
be
in
this
discussion.
As
you
decide
what
you
want
to
do.
So
thank
you
for
looking
at
it
holistically
and
thank
you
for
listening
to
everyone
appreciate
it
guys.
B
I
think
the
only
thing
I'd
add
is
to
me,
I
think,
there's
a
couple
of
levels
of
decision
here.
So
the
first
one
is:
do
you
do
a
noise
study,
or
do
you
not
do
a
noise
study,
then
there's
a
hole
based
on
what
we
find
from
the
noise
study
probably
separate
conversation
to
have
about
what?
If
anything,
do
we
do
with
that?
You
know,
I
think,
in
a
situation
like
this
redoing,
the
bridge,
you
know
with
the
level
of
noise.
B
In
my
view,
I
think
it's
worth
figuring
out
a
way
to
do
the
noise
study,
because
I
think
there
is
a
legitimate
argument
to
be
made
there,
especially
if
we
don't
have
one
for
40
or
50
years
now.
If
it
comes
back-
and
it
says,
listen,
it's
going
to
be
1.5
million
dollars.
The
community
is
going
to
fund
a
good
chunk
of
that
and
it's
really
going
to
positively
benefit
two
or
three
homes.
B
That's
maybe
a
different
discussion,
and
I
think
you
know
in
talking
with
the
quit
now
and
the
bednars
they
would
be
comfortable,
probably
having
that
discussion
as
well.
So
to
me
I
think
we
start
the
discussion
with.
Do
we
do
the
noise
study,
I
think
there's
enough
there
do.
We
spend
a
million
and
a
half
on
a
noise
wall
or
where
do
we
start
it
or
what
does
that?
Look
like
that's
a
conversation
for
a
future
day,
and
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
have
that.
One
today
sure
makes
sense.
E
E
L
P
Thank
you,
mayor
members
looks
like
we
have
a
relocation
from
farabo
to
austin,
taking
advantage
of
our
tax
abatement
program.
This
is
an
infill
property
at
3302
6th
street
northeast
in
the
north
meadows
subdivision
estimated
value
is
400
000.
The
submission
is
in
conformance
with
our
adopted
policy
and
council
action
is
requested
to
approve
it.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
C
Q
F
D
T
F
S
U
Mr
byrum
did
a
nice
job
in
summarizing
the
ordinance
for
us,
so
you
can
kind
of
see
the
the
ordinance
his
entirety
melded
into
our
tobacco
ordinance,
but
he's
also
done
a
summary
which
takes
out
the
key
pieces
that
we
are
adding
to
this
particular
ordinance
that
are
more
edible,
specific
and
look
at
what
we're
trying
to
do
here.
We're
really
trying
to
do
the
things
that
are
available
to
us
under
the
jurisdiction
that
we
serve.
U
U
The
pharmacy
board
also
put
out
a
nice
thc
inspection
checklist
for
local
law
enforcement.
While
we
could
use
this
under
the
auspices
of
1572,
I
think
against
better
to
move
it
under
a
licensing
ordinance
with
some
of
those
civil
penalties
and
other
things
again.
This
is
a
nice
form
that
we
can
use.
We
can
share
with
our
licensed
vendors.
They
know
what
we
would
be
looking
for
upon.
An
inspection
and
again
goes
to
the
point
of
I
think,
knowing
it
seeing
what
our
checklist
is.
U
U
You
know
we've
added
some
things
about
strengthening
how
folks
under
21
are
not
allowed
to
get
this.
I
think
it
will
help
us
work
in
partnership
with
our
schools
to
to
handle
contraband,
the
things
they
they
might
see
in
that
environment.
We
put
some
language
again
to
let
those
that
are
getting
licensed
understand.
You
know
again
how
compliance
checks
are
going
to
function.
Things
of
that
nature.
B
I
think
the
only
thing
I'd
say
is
two
things
number
one
is
a
huge
thank
you
to
chief
mckeeken
and
city
attorney
byram
for
their
leadership
on
this.
I
think
you
guys
have
done
a
nice
job
of
trying
to
engage
local
stakeholders,
including
our
businesses
and
our
schools,
and
obviously
law
enforcement
and
number
two
is.
I
think
that
leadership
shows
and
that
the
easy
thing
to
do
is
just
to
ban
it
to
pass
a
moratorium.
B
You
know
it's
much
harder
to
be
a
leader
and
come
up
with
a
model
that
other
cities
and
states
can
or
and
areas
of
the
state
can
follow,
and
I
think
you
know
austin's
always
been
a
leader
in
issues
like
this,
and
your
leadership
is
definitely
appreciated,
and
so
I'm
in
favor
of
the
direction
that
we're
moving.
I
think
it
creates
a
good
common
sense,
predictable
licensing
and
regulatory
framework
and
it's
the
right
direction.
So,
thank
you,
gentlemen.
C
V
E
C
D
C
D
S
S
E
F
W
C
P
Thank
you
mayor
members,
coalition
of
greater
minnesota
cities
suggested
that
we
do
a
resolution
in
favor
of
calling
for
a
special
session.
The
coalition
has
done
that
with
many
other
partnering
organizations
and
sent
that
letter
off.
They
want
to
hear
from
cities
across
the
state.
We've
put
together
a
resolution
for
your
consideration
tonight,
highlighting
the
need
for
a
bonding
bill
with
the
importance
of
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
the
increased
cost
for
our
residents
that
we're
facing
with
105
million
dollar
project.
P
C
F
C
I
think
everybody's
doing
what
they
can,
those
that
are
impacted
by
it
and
we're
certainly
impacted
by
it,
looking
for
20
million
for
our
wastewater
treatment
plant,
so
we're
in
for
the
long
haul
and
we'll
do
whatever
it
takes
to
help
get
that
money
to
us.
If
we're
encouraging
the
minnesota
legislature
to
get
back
on
a
special
session
and
there's
movement,
that's
great.
If
not,
we
tried
so
looking
for
a
resolution
to
approve
that
resolution.
C
J
N
C
L
L
We
accept
waste
at
the
site
from
dawn
until
dusk,
so
during
daylight
hours
we
accept
leaves
grass
and
plantings
from
in
flowers
from
your
gardens.
We
do
not
accept
branches
and
we
ask
residents
to
take
care
of
their
plastic
if
they
do
bring
their
leaves
out
in
plastic
bags
that
the
plastic
is
either
taken
back
home
with
them
or
put
in
the
garbage
cans
that
are
on
site.
L
E
C
C
E
C
X
X
I
did
two
separate
ordinances,
this
property,
but
that's
12
acres,
is
located
west
of
todd
park
again.
That
includes
four
privately
owned
parcels,
as
well
as
some
public
right-of-way
there's.
Some
gaps
that
have
arisen
as
adjacent
properties
were
annexed.
This
annexation
will
just
bring
all
of
that
in
in
a
very
simple
way.
X
X
It
just
was
kind
of
a
seemed
like
a
kind
of
an
abandoned
little
part
piece
of
property,
and
it
took
us
a
little
while
to
figure
out
how
to
move
forward
with
ended
up
being
acquired
by
the
city
from
hormel,
and
then
that
makes
it
a
very
easy
process
for
us
to
annex
that
piece.
Some
of
the
things
I
just
point
out
in
the
anik
are
in
the
ordinance
the
area
where
the
wind
drift
is
located.
X
J
V
V
X
Yes,
yes,
basically,
I
understood
that
they
had.
There
was
a
meeting
at
the
lansing
township.
I
think
an
informal
discussion
about
why
this
was
happening
and
that
it
was
driven
primarily
by
the
wind
drifts,
annexing
their
property
due
to
a
need
for
septic
systems,
our
mean
for
city
city,
sewer
connection,
it's
a
very
difficult
area
from
a
legal
description
perspective
and
then
also
just
from
I
mean
inevitability
perspective.
X
Into
austin
I
mean
I
honestly
am
not
sure
why
these
parcels
were
left
out.
Initially,
I'm
not
sure
if
they,
you
know,
I'm
really
not
sure
why,
historically,
why
they
weren't
included
in
that
general
annexation,
there's
nothing
that
requires
the
property
owners
to
connect
to
city
sewer
immediately,
it's
just
something
that
they
can
do
in
the
future.
X
X
X
X
F
X
Right,
I
think
the
count
it
depends
on
whether
your
septic
system
is
compliant
with
the
county,
well,
actually
with
state
regulation.
So
the
county
would
enforce
that
if
you're
not
compliant,
then
the
county
would
require
you
to
either
replace
your
septic
system
or
connect
to
city
sewer.
My
understanding
is
that
there
was
a
great
deal
of
cost
for
the
wind
drift
to
do
something
to
support
a
restaurant
versus
just
connecting
to
city
sewer.
X
X
Yeah
in
this
particular
instance,
there
are
instances
where
we've
done
studies
or
the
county
has
done
a
study
like
in
neighborhoods.
I
think
that's
what
you're
thinking
about,
but
we
do
have
number
of
individuals
that
annex
in
on
their
own
where's,
where
city
sewer
is
available,
and
you
know
so
they
just
as
you
said
they
just
do
them
individually.
V
X
C
C
F
F
K
F
F
K
Oops,
I
have
a
love
hate
relationship
with
my
glasses
too,
so
our
board
representative,
who
sits
on
the
city
council,
requested
to
be
on
tonight's
agenda
but
was
refused
two
times.
That's
why
we
are
here
at
the
public
forum
portion
of
the
council
meeting
and
I'm
representing
the
entire
park
board,
and
we
do
have
some
members
that
were
available
to
be
here.
We
are
missing
two.
K
K
We
would
like
our
park
director's
job
description
and
contract
to
reflect
that
the
director
reports
to
the
park
board
and
not
to
the
city
administrator.
In
2008,
we
had
a
director
whose
job
description
and
contract
stated
the
park
director
works
under
the
broad
policy,
guidance
and
direction
of
the
park
board.
In
2018
we
had
a
director
whose
job
description
and
contracts
stated
the
park
director
works
under
the
broad
policy
guidance
and
direction
from
the
park
board.
K
C
F
C
Item
on
the
agenda
that
I
think
was
stated
as
a
tweak
of
the
job
description
of
the
director
of
park
and
rec,
so
I
met
with
dave
merrill
shortly
after
I
got
that
email
and
asked
him
if
this
was
something
he
was
aware
of,
he
said
no
hasn't
been
discussed
on
a
full
board.
So
with
his
approval,
I
responded
back
to
rebecca
and
you
were
copying.
I
also
copied,
mr
maryland,
mr
clark
in
my
response
that,
because
it
hasn't
been
discussed
on
a
full
board
from
the
parking
director's
perspective,
I
didn't
want
to
blindside
anybody.
C
C
C
But
as
originally
my
reply
was
that
should
take
place
initially
at
the
at
the
board
meeting
tomorrow
for
the
park
and
rec
board
and
then
follow
a
path
forward
through
dave
has
also
agreed
to
set
a
meeting
up
with
administration
in
the
park
or
to
find
a
solution
and
there's
certainly
answers.
There's
always
two
sides
of
the
story.
The
city
administration,
through
the
hr
director
also
has
a
side
to
what
you're
intimating,
but
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
the
right
process.
C
C
S
C
S
C
So
I
was
hopeful
that
that
process
would
get
some
legs
before
we
delve
back
into
some
animosity.
Unfortunately,
it
didn't
happen
that
way,
in
fact,
my
res.
What
what
concerns
me
is
my
response.
Back
as
I
mentioned,
I
responded
back
with
a
carbon
copy
to
dave
maryland
to
our
city
administrator,
and
I
got
a
response
back
from
miss
waller
that
again
just
included
me
and
miss
jar.
I
purposely
do
not
want
to
take
anybody
out
of
the
loop.
I
want
to
include
them.
These
are
players
in
the
system
and
they
need
to
be
aware.
C
O
O
We've
requested
an
audience
in
front
of
council
for
18
months,
not
just
regarding
this
issue,
but
other
issues,
and
the
mayor
has
denied
us
every
time
whether
it
came
from
our
board
chair
or
from
our
city
council
rep.
I
don't
want
this
to
be
a
contentious
discussion.
We
did
have
a
great
mediation
center
session.
O
That's
it
we're
not
looking
at
his
responsibilities,
we're
not
looking
at
his
his
benefits,
his
income,
none
of
that
we're
just
looking
to
have
that
changed
there.
There
nothing
changed
in
the
charter
between
2018
and
today,
so
or
2008,
and
today.
So
I'm
curious
as
to
why
that
change
was
made
and
why
we
can't
have
the
discussion
about
it.
O
C
J
O
C
B
E
B
O
O
P
O
B
Right-
and
so
I
guess
from
my
perspective
chris
and
I
and
I
understand
the
passion-
and
I
understand-
we've
got
some
issues
to
solve
right.
If
it's
going
to
take
multiple
months
to
me,
what
makes
me
question
the
good
faith
of
are
we
are
we
making
either
on
our
side
or
any
side
of
it
is
if
we
had
one
meeting
a
week
or
two
ago
and
now
we're
back
having
this
conversation
in
public
again.
So
I
guess
my
request
to
both
sides
would
be
clearly.
K
The
park
director
has
been
put
in
an
untenable
situation,
however,
he's
been
put
in
the
middle
of
all
that's
going
on
here
on
the
park
board.
I
don't
think
that's
fair
at
all.
I
think
he
came
into
this.
He
was
put
into
it
day.
Two
and
he's
gonna
have
to
deal
with
the
situation
that
began
before
him.
K
I
don't
understand
why
he
is
consistently
being
put
in
the
middle
and
you
have
forced
us
to
say
well.
We
think
that
perhaps
he
misunderstood
our
discussion
at
the
park
board
meeting
in
august,
where
every
single
member
100
of
our
seven
members
were
in
favor
of
changing
the
job
description
contract
back
to
what
it
was
prior
february.
2022.
Q
Q
Q
C
C
Even
back
when
hurum,
we
had
a
resolution
that
we
did
to
support
him
in
in
2012
to
have
him
exercise
a
little
more
authority
and
be
confident
in
helping
in
supervising
those
apartment
heads.
My
fear
is
as
elected
body
if
we
happen
to
get
a
department
head,
whether
it's
park
and
rec
or
anybody,
but
in
this
case
it's
park
and
rex
there's
a
board
attached
to
it
and
that
person
comes
under
investigation
for
let's
say
hostile
work,
environment
and
it's
proven,
and
now
it's
the
city
can't
can't
terminate.
C
C
S
S

S

O
S

C
C
O
O
O
O
O
O
B
So
if
I
can
make
an
observation,
maybe
I
I
think
this
is
a
conversation
that
a
it's
worth
having
offline
be,
if
we
put
it,
let's
put
it
on
the
next
work
session
agenda
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
time
to
have
it
hashed
out,
because
where
I
struggle
as
a
policy
maker
right
now
is
I
don't
know
if
what
you're
saying
is
true
or
not?
Probably
is
I
don't
know
if
what
the
mayor
or
jeff
or
anybody
are
saying,
is
true
or
not?
B
Probably
is
that's
why
we've
got
a
process
for
why
we
go
through
these
things,
and
I
think
it's
worth.
Let's
get
the
memos,
let's
get
all
the
analysis
of
what
we've
looked
at
in
the
past
and
let's
have
a
conversation
with
it,
because
you
know
clearly
there's
things
that
we
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
as
a
council.
I
personally
would
like
to
be
prepared
in
terms
of
kind
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
or
not
talk
about
with
it,
and
you
know
we
can
kind
of
come
to
a
good
spot.
O
N
O
I
spoke
with
you
about
the
hiring
process
that
that
doesn't
involve
all
the
other
issues
that
we
have
that
we
want
to
talk
about
the
charter,
the
the
maintenance
position,
the
true
cree
or
the
tree
crew.
There's
there's
other
things
that
that
that
we
need
to
talk
to
counsel
about,
because
there
are
people
in
administration
who
are
interfering
with
the
work
of
the
park
board.
O
S
And
I
guess
the
one
thing
I'd
like
to
say
is
that
we
have
park
board
library
board.
We
have
planning
commissions,
we
have
other
boards
and
commissions
and
when
the
planning
commission
makes
a
recommendation
to
council,
we
don't
have
to
take
it
to
a
work
session
to
to
debate
whether
their
action
is
correct
or
not.
S
It
is
put
on
our
agenda
for
a
council
meeting
and
in
the
past
I
know
I
served
as
the
council
representative
on
the
on
the
park
and
rec
and
forestry
board
for
many
years,
and
when
we
took
action
at
a
park
board
meeting
and
made
it
a
recommendation
to
the
council,
it
went
straight
to
the
council
for
the
council
to
vote
on.
It
wasn't
taken
to
a
work
session
to
be
debated
and
rehashed
and
decide
whether
the
board
made
the
right
decision
or
not.
S
O
C
Y
Y
Y
So
that's
the
entire
reason
that
I
am
here
and
the
reason
that
I
have
stayed
here
for
these
past
four
years,
working
through
various
jobs
in
the
nature
center
to
the
point
where
now
I
am
now
in
this,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
flux
of,
am
I
permanent?
Am
I
not
I'm
not
here
to
try
and
fix
my
job?
I'm
not
here
to
get
any
answers.
Y
Not
only
has
had
discussions
with
my
full
name
in
the
mix,
but
also
has
been
according
to
the
meeting
minutes
been
represented
as
shameful
makes
me
very
disappointed
and,
frankly
alienated
as
a
member
of
this
community,
and
I
just
wanted
to
stand
up
here
in
front
of
all
of
you
right
now
face
to
face,
and
let
you
know
that
so
that
is
all
that
I
have
for
you
today.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Like
I
said,
I
don't
need
solutions.
I
just
want
you
guys
to
be
aware.
Thank
you.
J
B
And
so
you
know,
I
think,
as
we
move
forward
on
whatever
the
issue
is,
you
know
we're
trying
to
all
move
in
the
right
right
direction,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
work
and
the
passion
of
everybody
in
in
the
audience
and
on
the
council
for
for
trying
to
get
there.
So
it's
what
makes
us
a
a
good
body
and
ultimately,
a
good
community.
S
I
guess
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
the
arts
council
for
putting
on
a
great
arts
festival
this
past
weekend.
I
know
it
brought
two
of
my
family
members
from
out
of
state
and
a
few
more
from
up
in
the
cities
to
town
for
the
weekend,
so
my
life
was
wonderful
for
four
days
having
family
all
around
me
and
it
was
because
of
the
festival.
