so

Second,
all
in

aye

We
have
a
new
honorary
council
member
today,
christopher
moore
has
met,
I
think,
most
folks
in
the
room
but
christopher.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
coming
to
the
microphone
introducing
yourself
and
tell
us
all
about
what
we
need
to
know
about
christopher
moore.
H
My
name
is
christopher
mo
and
I
think
I
made
mess
on
a
lot
of
faces
around
austin.
I
think
I
know
a
lot
of
effects
that
I
know
I
think,
but
I'm
a
simple
guy
and
just
trying
to
know
the
community,
I'm
a
community
leader
too.
I
got
a
com.
I
got
a
organization
called
the
librarian
association
for
for
progress
in
austin
minnesota.
We
deal
with
things
that
are
in
accommodated
deal
with
problems
and
stuff
and
help
each
other.
I
H
So
since
I
moved
here,
austin
had
grown
a
lot
since
I
moved
it,
it's
a
place
of
opportunity.
Whatever
you
want
to
do,
you
want
to
anything
you
want
to
do
in
austin.
You
can
do
it
if
you
put
your
mind
to
it,
so
I'm
a
librarian,
I
found
liberia,
I
came
into
united
states,
2003
or
2000
2000
in
2000
and
my
the
first
the
first
day
that
moving
it
was
in
new
york
city.
H
So
after
new
york
city
I'm,
I
was
in
new
york
for
like
two
three
years
in
staten
island
in
new
york.
So
I
had
my
parent,
my
my
dad
lived
there
and
my
stepmother
lived
there.
I
got
one.
I
got
two
sisters.
I
live
in
new
york,
so
in
new
york
I
kind
of
I
went
to
school
there.
I
graduated
2003
in
new
york
after
I
graduate
my
grandparents
were
they
were
in
united
states
before
me.
They
came
since
in
the
90s.
H
H
I
spent
a
little
bit
time
in
texas.
You
know
I
spent
like
I
think,
two
years
in
texas,
until
2000
2006
I
went
to
iowa.
I
live
in
iowa,
waterloo,
iowa
too,
it's
a
big
community.
They
have
a
lot
of
librarians
and
universal,
like
people
from
all
over
in
in
waterloo,
iowa
too.
So
when
I
left
there,
I
spent
I
spent
quite
a
time
in
in
waterloo
iowa.
H
I
came
back
to
minnesota
because
I
had
a
lot
of
friends
that
ran
so
things
were
not
okay
in
in
waterloo
iowa,
so
it
seems
like
it
was
okay,
but
when
I
okay
for
my
family,
so
I
had
to
move
for
an
honor
and
came
out.
They
stayed
at
the
the
time
moving
wateringtown
minnesota,
so
the
highlight
got
factory
down
into
our
jbs
and
stuff.
So
I
moved
my
family
over
there
removed
that
and
I
think
I
spent
like
a
year.
H
I
spent
like
like
a
year
plus
over
there.
So
after
I
had
my
my
last
child,
I
left
I
came
in
austin,
so
my
friend
encouraged
me
to
move
in
austin.
So
I
came.
I
came
one
day
and
I
just
saying
employees
like
the
day
I
stepped
the
place
I'll
start
working
at
I'll,
kill
people
so
the
first
day
I
feel
the
application
or
they
call
me
they
say.
Okay,
I
can
start
work
anytime,
so
I
said
okay.
H
So
when
I
go
when
I
go
back
home
in
wallington,
I'm
gonna
tell
my
family
that
I
will
move
here
first
and
see
how
best
can
we
move
it?
So
after
I
came
in
austin,
I
haven't
moved
here,
but
austin
austin
is
a
great
place.
I
got
my
kids
here.
They
go
to
school
here
so
and
when
we
moved
here
we
didn't
have
liberians
community.
We
had
all
the
nationality
like.
I
never
knew
the
community
that
were
and
we
had
liberians,
but
maybe
it
was
two
three
librarians.
H
About
he
used
to
lay
right
by
me
at
the
apartment,
building
right
by
a
homemade
museum,
the
old
museum
right
there
and
I
never
knew
him
and
something
I
was
seeing
outside.
Like
I
know
one
day
I
never
talked
to
him
like
we
never
talk
every
time.
I
see
him.
I
smile,
I
smile,
he
smiles
smile,
that's
it!
I
never
open
your
word
and
never
say
anything
to
him.
H
So
that's
how
we're
living
so
so
when
I,
when
I
get
to
know
him,
he
was
trying
to
discover
a
way
to
to
make
it
in
life,
and
I
see
it
in
him
like
this
guy.
I
think
he's
just
coming,
but
I
never
asked
him
where
you
from
and
how
long
you've
been
here.
I
just
I
I
I
just
in
my
mind
said:
I
know
that
he's
a
guy
that
he's
trying
he's
trying
he
came
from
africa,
he's
trying
to
make
it
and
he's
trying
to
make
it
true.
H
So,
like
that's,
that's
how
we
met
like
on
facebook,
like
he
would
say,
hi
I'll,
say:
hi,
that's
all
and
luckily,
like
once
we
got
the
community
together.
We
got
the
organization
running
everything
our
first
our
inauguration,
we
invite
him,
but
he
didn't
show
up.
He
came
for
the
second
one,
so
when
he
came
for
the
second
one
I
had
jeff
jeff
came
to
for
our
second
inauguration
that
we
had
in
back
last
year.
H
So
he
encouraged
me
once
we
had
the
first
inauguration,
the
second
one
he
encouraged
me.
He
sent
me
a
note
man,
you
can.
You
can
apply
for
this.
I
said
what
do
you
in
my
heart?
What
do
you
mean?
I
don't
know
nothing
about
this,
so
he
he
told
me
that
he
sent
me
the
application.
If
you're
interested
in
it,
you
can,
you
can
apply
for
become
a
councilman.
H
H
H
So
I
was
like
oh
the
new
council
member,
like
what
can
I
do?
I
never
did
this
before
like.
I
never
stayed
from
console
memory
like
what
oh
people
before
like
that.
So
I
don't
know
what
can
I
do?
I
talk
to
god
and
he
direct
me
and
say:
don't
worry,
I
got
you
I'll,
say.
Okay,
then
a
few
days
about
call
me.
He
texts
me
and
say.
H
Congratulations
I
said
oh,
I
said
I
know
in
my
heart
I
said:
okay,
you
did
it
and
I
I
just
want
to
know
I'm
a
simple
guy
and
trying
to
make
it
in
the
community
they're
trying
to
help
other
people.
When
you
ask
any
librarians
community
who
mostly
like
active
in
the
community,
they
will
raise
their
hand
and
say
me,
I
don't
have
to
give
you
too
much.
You
can
ask
behind
my
back,
I'm
a
simple
guy
just
trying
to
help
whatsoever
helped
I
can
help.
I
can
always
help.
A
Happy
here,
one
thing
I
want
to
note
too,
is
that
when
I
called
christopher,
he
started
a
newer
job
at
austin,
public
schools,
and
we
didn't
know
if
we
could
get
him
for
this
night
time.
It's
kind
of
where
his
hours
of
work
are
so
kudos
and
thank
you
to
the
aust
public
schools
for
allowing
you
the
time
off
to
come
to
these
meetings
for
the
three
months
that
we
might
have
you.
So
thank
them
too
for
us,
if
you
could
but
welcome
as
our
honorary
council.
A
C
K
This
is
part
of
our
recently
adopted
program
where
we
offered
a
hookup
fee
for
property
owners
out
in
the
turtle
creek
2
area,
but
we
also
gave
them
an
option
for
assessment
and
the
folks
on
this
assessment
role
have
elected
to
have
their
hookup
fee
assessed.
So
we
want
to
move
forward
with
those
assessments
and
get
them
recorded
and
make
them
official.
A
Okay,
anything
council,
council
comments
or
questions
otherwise,
we'll
take
them
one
at
a
time
under
5a.
Looking
for
a
resolution
for
five
eight
percent
presentation
of
project
and
associated
assessments,
some
move
the
resolution.
No,
we
can
do
the
presentation,
okay
and
then
b
call
for
written
objections.
K
A
C
B
C
A
C
B
A
K
Yes,
we
took
bids
on
april
28th
for
our
lighting
upgrades
out
of
the
airport.
I
believe
council
is
aware
of
this
project
coming
up
as
we've
been
working
on
a
few
things
with
sch,
but
with
this
project
we
had
three
bidders
and
werner
brothers
inc.
They
were
the
low
bidder
of
the
base
bid
at
three
hundred
and
twenty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
eighty
dollars,
that
is,
for
upgrading
to
led
lighting
on
the
runway
and
the
taxiway.
K
That's
what's
included
in
the
base
bid,
as
well
as
some
upgrades
to
our
electrical
building
to
upgrade
some
transformers
that
are
necessary
as
part
of
the
project.
We
did
look
at
an
alternate
and
to
see
where
it
would
come
in
with
our
overall
project
cost.
The
alternate
was
to
upgrade
our
our
signage
out
at
the
airport,
on
on
the
taxiway
itself
and
our
signage
out.
There
designates
different
taxiways.
K
We
have
five
different
taxiways
that
are
all
named
and
signed,
and
that
was
alternate
one
and
you
can
see
the
different
ranges
of
cost
for
alternate
one.
With
this
project.
We
expect
to
have
100
funding
from
the
faa
through
an
airport
grant
and
we
did
strongly
consider
alternate
one,
but
we
think
in
order
to
stay
within
budget,
we
would
recommend
just
awarding
the
base
bid
to
warner
brothers
in
the
amount
of
three
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
seven
hundred
eighty
dollars,
and
that
would
be
our
recommendation
for
tonight.
K
C
C
B
C
A
K
Yeah
to
to
work
through
the
construction
phase
of
the
project
that
was
just
approved,
there
is
a
proposal
from
sch
in
the
amount
of
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
for
construction,
administration
and
inspection.
Some
of
the
key
items
of
of
their
proposal
are
detailed.
There
again,
this
cost
would
be
funded.
One
hundred
percent,
through
our
faa
grant
and
we'd
recommend
moving
forward
a
contract
with
sch
for
this
work.
A
B
K
I'd
like
to
touch
on
item
eight
and
nine
together,
I
have
them
included
together
in
your
memo,
they're
dealing
with
icm
agreement
that
we
have
with
hormel
that
regulates
the
strength
and
volume
of
waste
that
we
receive
from
the
hormel
plant,
and
one
item
has
changed.
The
existing
icm
agreement
dates
back
to
december
of
2017
and
it
was
a
five-year
agreement
through
2022..
K
The
agreements
can
be
opened
from
time
to
time
when
mutually
agreed
upon
between
both
parties
to
make
minor
changes,
and
in
this
case
we
we
working
with
hormel,
have
saw
a
minor
change
to
item
number
three,
which
is
language
regarding
ph
sampling,
so
that
has
been
revised
in
both
the
domestic
and
industrial
icm
agreement
for
items
eight
and
nine.
So
we
would
recommend
approval
of
this
revision.
A
E
A
F
B
A
E
C
C
A
K
Yeah,
this
is
the
annex
or
the
spice
plant
located
at
18
16
9th
street
northeast
again.
This
is
a
little
newer,
icm
agreement,
so
we're
just
as
as
we've
worked
through
flows
at
the
facility
over
the
last
couple
years.
We
have
some
changes
that
we
would
recommend
to
more
accurately
meet
some
of
the
flow
requirements
of
the
plant.
K
K
L
Yeah,
so
we
have
two
resolutions
here:
the
first
list,
a
bunch
of
properties
that
came
to
forfeiture
this
year
from
the
county.
So
in
the
for
for
process
right
now
we
have
to
declare
to
the
county
our
assessments
that
were
canceled
through
that
forfeiture
process.
So
we
identify
the
parcels
and
then,
if
you
see
on
the
second
page
in
bold
by
each
parcel,
it
lists
how
much
the
city
has
expended
in
costs
either
from
snow
removal,
junk
removal,
hazardous
housing,
citations
any
number
of
things,
but
that's
not
real
estate
taxes.
L
That's
assessments
that
have
been
cancelled,
so
we're
certifying
to
the
county
that
we
would
like
to
recollect
these
amounts
and
then
I'll
talk
about
the
second
resolution
too.
The
second
resolution
that
we
have
here
this
particular
property-
the
hra-
would
like
to
keep
it
and
redevelop
it.
So
that
particular
piece.
We
have
a
separate
resolution
for
because
we'll
be
asking
the
county
board
to
allow
us
to
keep
that
property
and
just
by
chance
that
property
has
no
assessment.
So
we
would
request
to
approve
both
of
those
resolutions.
A
A
C
A
C
C
L
So,
yes,
these
properties
are
the
ones
we
talked
about
stephen
and
I
kind
of
had
a
presentation
a
couple
work
sessions
ago
on
april
5th.
These
are
the
properties
that
have
been
deferred
from
30
to
35
years,
so
we're
going
to
set
those
public
hearings
for
june
7th,
just
kind
of
letting
the
council
know
that
those
letters
are
going
to
go
out
next
week.
L
A
C
C
B
C
A
C
C
M
A
C
C
K
It's
tentatively
planned
for
2021
and
you
know
city-wide
we
have
in
the
range
of
9000
households
and
six
600
businesses
are.
Our
community
area
is
made
up
of
about
8,
200
acres
and
150
miles
of
roadway.
So
a
citywide
project
like
this
is
a
very
big
undertaking
for
us
that
we
just
we
don't.
We
can't
staff
up
for
and
and
up
and
down
for
for
large
projects
like
this.
K
They
were
all
right
around
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
provide
this
service.
After
reviewing
the
proposals,
sch's
proposal,
you
know,
I
think
all
three
of
them
could
have
done
the
work
very
well,
but
sch's
experience
with
right
away.
Management
seemed
to
stand
out
for
us
and
and
then
in
addition,
based
on
their
experience,
they
evaluated
what
we
were
looking
for
and
made
a
determination
that
they
believe
the
work
can
actually
be
done
for
75,
000
or
less
so
that
that
weighed
into
our
our
review
analysis
a
little
bit
as
well.
K
K
A
C
A
I
Thank
you
mayor
members,
we're
asking
to
be
able
to
transfer
650
thousand
dollars
from
the
building
fund
to
the
port
authority.
This
would
be
related
to
the
housing
proposal
that
mr
stensel
put
forward.
This
is
contingent
upon
the
port
authority
approval
of
a
purchase
agreement
with
the
ymca
and
a
development
contract
with
stencil
group.
I
E
I
As
far
as
the
premature,
they
want
to
know
that
the
properties
moving
towards
being
under
contract
to
move
the
process
along,
as
well
as
the
tif
and
the
redevelopment
and
the
purchase
agreement.
So
we
don't
want
to
get
ahead
of
our
skis.
If
council
isn't
supportive
of
transferring
the
funds,
then
we
need
to
go
back
to
stencil
and
adjust
accordingly,
so
that's
the
timing
of
it,
so
it
allows
the
y
to
take
action
and
consideration
on
their
part.
We
generally
have
signed
documents
before
the
report
from
the
other
party.
A
C
A
M
You
for
the
opportunity.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
chance
to
present
to
you
guys.
So.
The
farmers
market
project
has
been
a
collaboration
between
the
city
of
austin
and
impact
austin
to
create
a
permanent
location
for
a
farmer's
market
space
in
austin
that
not
only
addresses
the
community
need
for
more
access
to
healthy
food,
but
also
gives
the
market
a
sense
of
place
and
expands
upon
and
grows
the
downtown
area.
M
And
our
goal
is
really
to
provide
not
only
a
market
but
to
create
and
grow
a
market
experience
that
really
nourishes
and
inspires
all
aspects
of
the
community
here
in
austin
and
in
the
greater
moore
county
area.
So,
pending
approval
from
the
city
council
tonight
we
will
be
releasing
plans
this
week
to
the
community
about
the
market,
as
we
start
to
approve
vendors
for
a
market
even
this
year
on
site.
C
A
Aye
opposed
motion
carries
citizens
addressing
the
council
is
any
citizens
on
zoom
or
here
in
the
chambers
that
would
like
to
address
the
council
so
hearing
none
honorary
council
member
comments,
christopher.
I
don't
think
I'd
warned
you
about
this,
but
you
did
a
nice
job.
Introducing
yourself.
Do
you
have
any
comments
you'd
like
to
make
about
your
first
meeting?
It's
this
much
fun
every
time
by
the
way,
this
much
fun.
So
if
you
have
something
to
add
that
you
want
to
reflect
on
or
anything
that
we're
happy
to
hear
your
words.
H
Yeah,
I
just
got
a
question
for
all
the
council
members
and
the
mayor
as
a
community
girl.
The
community
is
growing
and
austin
is
about
to
rise
up,
and
I
think
I
think
you
should
be
thinking
about
that,
because
we
got
most
people
as
an
immigrant.
They
don't
have
a
lot
of
opportunity,
a
lot
of
learning
center.
They
got
kids,
they
got,
we
need
more
child
care
and
stuff,
they
got,
they
got
a
problem.
C
H
A
I
appreciate
your
comments.
That's
what
we're
hoping
you're
you're
here
to
give
us
that
kind
of
perspective.
So
austin,
I
think,
is
well
aware
of
what
our
deficiencies
are
and
we
want
to
close
those
gaps,
whether
it's
child
care
or
housing
or
anything
else.
Those
seem
to
be
the
two
that
we're
really
focused
on.
So
I
appreciate
those
comments.
I
look
forward
to
more
as
you
as
you
grow
and
hear
more
council
meetings.
So
thank
you,
council.
Anything
else
for
christopher.
D
Mr
christopher,
I
wish
you
good
luck.
If
you
have
any
question,
don't
hesitate
to
ask
anyone
on
the
you
know
on
the
console
here,
we'll
be
happy
to
help
you.
I
was
there
before.
I
was
nervous
the
first
time,
but
from
learning
experience
you
never
know
a
few
years
in
the
road
you
may
sitting
behind
here.
So
I
hope
that
will
open
you
a
lot
of
doors.
So
this
is.
This
is
why
we
are
transforming
austin
and
uplifting.
You
know
everyone
in
the
community
either
you're,
immigrant
or
you're
born
here.
C
I
Yeah,
I
got
noticed
this
morning
from
the
legislative
aid
with
senator
dornick.
Our
technical
correction
bill
on
our
7.45
million
will
be
up
in
the
senate,
so
I'll
be
testifying
tomorrow
at
4
30
on
senate
file,
572
in
hopes
that
they
are
agreeable
to
providing
some
flexibility
on
that
previous
appropriation.
N
N
N
You
can
see
what
books
are
coming
up
each
month
and
then
also
in
may.
The
austin
page
turners
are
very
excited
to
get
back
to
their
event
and
we
have
allison
mcgee
coming
on
may
22nd
on
saturday
we
do
have
a
free
riders
workshop
with
her
in
the
park,
just
west
of
the
library
at
10
30
on
may
22nd,
but
we
do
have
limited
spots.
N
N
K
K
K
Also,
on
that
same
note,
the
mndot
is
planning
to
start
reconstruction
of
the
28th
street
bridge
out
by
the
airport
and
the
country
club
that
that
project
is
planned
to
begin
the
week
of
may
10th.
So
next
week,
the
following
weekend,
which
is
the
14th
15th
and
16th,
they
will
be
removing
the
bridge,
so
I-90
will
actually
be
closed
and
vehicles
will
be
ram,
sent
over
the
ramps
and
back
down
overnight
during
the
bridge
removal
process,
so
that'll
be
a
little
bit
unique
there
for
the
traveling
public.
K
That
project
is
planned
to
continue
through
october,
so
that
will
be
happening
and
information
is
going
out
to
adjacent
property
owners
and
businesses
there
and
the
third
item
for
you
tonight
is
again
just
a
reminder
of
our
electronics
recycling
event.
We
were
not
able
to
hold
the
event
in
2020,
so
looking
forward
to
getting
that
going
again
here
in
2021,
as
in
the
past,
it
will
be
held
at
the
fairgrounds
the
drop
off
time.
K
K
We
do
have
a
few
on
the
list,
the
company
that
we
work
with
retrofit
recycling
out
of
oatana.
They
will
bring
down
five
or
six
workers
to
help
the
event,
but
we're
always
looking
for
volunteers
to
help
bridge
the
gap.
Again,
as
I've
mentioned
in
the
past,
we
typically
will
have
two
shifts.
One
shift
is
from
8
30
a.m
until
11
30
a.m,
and
the
second
shift
is
from
11
30
a.m
until
2
30
p.m.
K
K
437-9950
and
we
can
get
you
lined
up
with
a
shift
time
and
we
greatly
appreciate
those
that
are
looking
to
volunteer
for
this
event
and
also
one
other
thing
on
it
is.
Is
it
works
for
all
different
ages
and
and
types
of
folks
it?
You
know
when
someone
comes
with
electronics
recycling,
it
may
have
a
variety
of
things:
maybe
a
tv,
maybe
a
computer,
maybe
a
laptop
or
a
keyboard,
so
you
can
always
pick
whatever
items
you
feel
comfortable
grabbing
and
someone
else
will
grab
something
else.
K
A
O
O
This
week,
people
were
they're
doing
the
conference
committees
for
all
the
different
august
bills
and
then
we'll
get
all
those
back
and
the
weekend
of
all
next
week
and
then
our
signy
die
is
may
17th
when
we
need
to
have
our
balanced
budget,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
lots
of
exciting
time
debating
on
the
floor.
I
think
probably
one
of
the
I
really
wanted
to
thank
mayor
king
there.
O
O
It
was
really
great
to
see
everyone
there
and
to
use
that
to
use
the
basketball
courts
and
if
you
need
to
see
a
picture
of
mayor
king
in
a
sombrero,
feel
free
to
look
at
my
representative
facebook
page
for
that,
and
you
can
see
it,
which
is
fantastic.
Also
I
mean
sheriff
steve
is
in
a
poncho,
so
that's
also
amazing.
O
So
I
think
some
of
the
other
things
I'd
like
to
say
is:
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
that
senator
dardik
is
going
to
be
able
to
take
up
the
7.5
million
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
I
have
been
lobbying
hard
at
the
capital
investments
committee
for
the
13
million
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
and
we
have
some
really
good
news
with
that.
O
First
of
all,
knowing
that
capital
investments
is
one
of
the
few
committees
that
has
to
have
a
super
majority,
so
the
majority
party
needs
votes
from
the
minority
party,
which
means
that
they
have
to
include
some
bills
that
you
know
actually
help
the
minority
party
and
the
person
who
is
in
charge
like
our
minority
lead
on
that
committee
is.
I
have
been
telling
him
about
this.
I've
been
talking
about
this.
I've
received
a
letter
from
hormel
about
the
about
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
the
american
rescue
plan
that
president
biden
is
planning.
O
O
But
I
have
I've
been
lobbying
for
that
hard
and
then
the
only
other
thing
is
that,
as
soon
as
session
is
done,
I'm
going
to
be
back
down
in
the
district
working
with
our
child
care
providers
and
talking
to
them
about
how
we
can
streamline
some
remove
barriers
so
that
more
people
from
the
refugee
and
immigrant
population
can
enter
into
this
beautiful
business
that
we
have.
I've
been
researching
bills
from
other
states
and
I
actually
wrote
a
column
about
it
in
the
austin
daily
hurdle.
O
This
past
saturday,
and
really
want
to
give
props
to
obama
abala,
who
came
to
me
and
said
that
we
really
need
to
work
on
this
issue,
so
I'm
really
hoping
to
work
on
this
together
with
him,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what's
been
going
on.
As
always,
thanks
for
all
of
your
communication
with
me
and
any
any
time
you
have
any
questions.
Oh
and
sorry,
one
last
thing:
I'm
sorry.
American
I've
been
also
been
in
constant
contact
with
our
law
enforcement,
as
I
also
serve
on
the
public
safety
committee.
O
There
is
a
lot
of
concern.
A
lot
of
constituents
have
contacted
me
concerned
about
some
of
the
police
accountability
bills
that
have
been
introduced
into
the
public
safety
committee.
I
have
contacted
sheriff's,
steve
and
also
the
dodge
county
sheriff
and
the
freeborn
county
sheriff,
and
also
the
chief
of
police
there
in
austin.
O
We
have
been
communicating-
and
I
have
assured
them-
that
I'm
100
supporting
of
police
and
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
whatever
measures
are
there
are
going
to
be
appropriate
so
that
both
police
and
our
public
can
remain
safe.
So,
as
always,
please
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
and
I'll
be
back
down
in
the
district.
I
think,
mr
lang,
I
can
get
mr
dan
and
I
to
take
a
shift
for
this
exciting
electric
electronic
recycling
event
and
see
if
we
can
get
some
of
this
done
for
you.
A
F
Three
quick
things:
one
is
I'd
echo
the
thanks
to
patty
in
terms
of
the
work
that
she's
doing
on
behalf
of
austin,
specifically
around
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
obviously
just
vital
vital
for
you
know
our
budget
and
our
community
number
two
is
want
to
make
sure
to
recognize
ann
kaso
and
the
complete
count
committee
for
the
work
that
they
did.
Obviously
you
know
I'm
sure
most
folks
have
seen
it,
but
I
think
if
austin,
I'm
sorry
if
minnesota
had
counted,
29
fewer
people
or
new
york
would
have
counted
89
more.
F
So
I'm
not
entirely
sure
how
that
math
works,
but
that's
federal
government.
So
it
is
what
it
is.
We
would
have
lost
a
congressional
seat
and
obviously
you
know
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
of
annual
funding,
and
so
you
think
about
you
know
the
work
that
so
many
people
in
this
community
did
to
you
know,
get
a
neighbor
to
fill
out
the
form
or
make
sure
that
you
know
somebody
got
counted.
Obviously
you
know
when
it
comes
down
to
29
people
in
a
state
of
four
or
five
million
people.
F
That's
you
know
every
local
effort
works.
So
thank
you.
Ann
for
your
leadership
on
that
and
then
finally,
next
tuesday
we'll
be
representing
our
community
for
a
southeastern
minnesota
together,
webinar
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
as
a
welcoming
community.
So
if
anybody's
interested
that'll
be
11
30
to
12
15
on
tuesday
and
that's
through
smith
and
welcoming
america,
so
it
should
be
good
opportunity
to
continue
to
tell
the
story
of
how
we
are
doing
things
well.
In
austin.
J
They
were
able
to
do
some
fundraising
and
some
grant
matching,
and
so
with
the
new
lights
and
bleachers,
we're
excited
to
see
the
new
tournaments
and
things
that
they'll
be
doing
there
and
really
impressed
that
just
the
kind
of
community
organization.
I
know
that
maura
county
health,
I
think,
was
able
to
vaccinate
40
or
50
people
down
there
this
weekend,
which
is
great
outreach.
A
I'd
just
like
to
add
to
that
oaxacan
community
event
on
saturday
was
very
well
received
and
they
were
just
so
gracious
and
filled
with
gratitude
with
the
the
level
of
service
the
rotary
provided
and
the
city
provided
to
light
the
basketball
court
up,
and
so
it's
just
great
to
see
the
parks
being
used.
Kevin
nelson
was
there.
He
also
had
a
sombrero
on
too,
I
believe,
or
at
least
kind
of
mexican.
They
gave
gifts.
They
were.
