Description
City of Austin, MN
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
everyone
looks
like
we
got
some
oath
of
office
next
on
the
agenda
Tom.
Would
you
like
to
do
three
at
one
time
or
all
at
once?
We.
B
Usually
do
them
one
at
a
time
so
Jeff
Austin,
if
you'd
like
to
raise
your
right
hand
and
repeat
after
me,
hi
Jeff,
Austin
hi,
Jeff
Austin,
having
been
appointed
to
the
office
having
been
appointed
to
the
office
of
council
member
at
large,
a
council
member
at
large
of
said,
City
of
Austin,
said
City
of
Austin.
Do
you
swear
I'll
support
the
Constitution?
We
swear
that
I
will
support.
B

E

F
G
F
A
B
F
H
A
So
I
guess
we
have
a
is
that
a
motion
to
bring
something
into
the
agenda
if
there's
a
second
second.
A
So
there's
motion
a
second
any
further
discussion,
if
not
looking
for
a
I
guess
we'll
just
handle
it
as
a
motion.
So
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
to
add
only
like
remove
everybody,
but
we're
parking
red
board,
L
M
from
the
work
session
and
move
everyone
else
into
the
today's
tonight's
agenda,
all
in
favor
aye,
aye
opposed.
A
Okay,
no
motion
carries
item
number
one
we
do,
then
we
adopted
the
agenda
with
the
addition
and
item
number.
Two
is
a
motion:
improving
the
Minnesota
December
19th
2022
meeting
so
moved.
Second,
all
in
favor,
all
right
opposed
motion
carries
recognitions
and
awards.
We
have
to
welcome
George
Thomas
at
the
end
of
the
DS.
There
George
welcome
as
our
honorary
council
member,
be
here
for
three
months,
six
meetings
or
so
so
we
appreciate
you
attending.
If
you
have
any
opening
remarks
or
you
want
to
introduce
yourself.
I
I
considered
and
honored
to
be
here
as
a
citizen
being
get
a
unique
perspective
of
how
politics
works
from
the
inside
on
the
city
level.
Here
in
my
community
and
hopefully
what
I'd
like
to
see
in
the
future
is
more
people
of
color
and
positions
of
authority
because,
as
I
was
saying,
the
Joyce
I
think
it
has
a
trickle-down
effect
to
our
children
when
they
can
see
people
that
look
like
them
in
position
of
authority
irregardless
of
what
ethnic
group
it
is
and
I
think
we're
on
a
real
good
course.
I
The
progress
that
Austin
has
made
from
the
beginning
of
the
Welcome
Center
back
in
the
early
2000s
to
now
it's
a
model
City
in
my
estimation,
I'm
proud
to
be
here.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Excellent
thanks.
A
Charge
item
number
four:
is
a
motion
for
the
consent
agenda
so
moved?
Second,
all
in
favor
all.
C
A
All
right
opposed
Junction
carries
under
petitions
and
requests.
We
have
number
five
resolution
approving
the
MnDOT
Standalone
noise
barrier
program,
application,
Stephen.
J
Council,
a
couple
months
ago,
hired
ssrf
to
complete
a
noise
study
in
preparation
of
a
a
Grant
application
for
the
Greater
Minnesota
noise,
while
barrier
program,
and
we
have
those
that
that
Grant
application
was
due.
December
31st
and
the
results
of
the
noise
study
came
back
after
our
last
council
meeting.
So
bringing
this
for
you
tonight
as
a
update
on
the
results
of
the
noise
study
and
then
also
what
is
required
to
submit
the
grant
would
be
if
Council
so
chooses
a
resolution
that
would
go
along
with
that
Grant
application.
J
So
that
is
what
is
in
front
of
you
tonight.
But
if
I
briefly
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
study
give
a
little
more
backup
information
than
we
normally
discuss
at
these
meetings.
I
would
have
liked
to
have
brought
this
to
a
work
session,
but
the
timing
just
didn't
allow
so.
The
the
noise
study,
as
you
may,
as
you
may
remember,
was
completed
designated
for
the
area
in
the
300
block,
a
14th,
Place,
Northwest
and
1400
block
of
2nd
Street
Northwest.
J
This
is
along
the
south
side
of
Interstate
90
generally
from
4th
Street
to
the
Cedar
River.
So
there
are
different
criteria
that
are
utilized
when
looking
at
a
noise
study
and
meeting
the
Grant
application
requirements.
So
those
criteria
that
were
looked
at
you
know
when
MnDOT
looks
at
Grant
submittals.
They
don't
want
a
million
dollar
noise
barrier
that
will
only
provide
benefit
to
two
Parcels.
J
J
They
also
set
in
place
the
construction
cost
of
that
noise
barrier,
which
in
this
case
is
36
dollars
per
square
foot.
So
the
length
of
the
barrier
can
change,
but
you
still
use
the
36
dollar
per
square
foot
cost
the
height
of
the
barrier
can
change
as
well,
but
again
still
using
that
36
dollar
per
square
foot
cost
to
try
to
meet
that
benefited
receptor
threshold
of
seventy
eight
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
Typically,
a
noise
barrier
is
20
feet
tall,
but
that
can
be
adjusted.
J
So
we
we
started
at
20
feet
tall
and
we
also
started
with
the
maximum
length
for
that
area
from
4th
Street
to
the
Cedar
River.
Also,
there
are
other
criteria
that
is
used.
66
decibels
is
a
kind
of
a
baseline
number
that
is
used
by
the
Federal
Government
Federal
Highway
Administration,
as
anything
in
that
neighborhood
or
above
is
considered,
noisy
I
guess
so
they
use
that
number
as
a
kind
of
a
baseline.
J
Also
they
look
at
if,
if
a
noise
wall
can
be
constructed
and
you
reduce
the
decibels
by
five
or
more
to
the
benefiting
receptors,
that
is
looked
at
as
a
a
criteria
that
is
used
also
just
some
standard
things
for
for
the
public
is.
If,
if
we
can
reduce
noise
levels
by
three
decibels,
that's
a
noticeable
amount
to
the
human
ear.
No
matter,
you
know
what
environment
you're
dealing
with
in
this
case
we're
talking
about
traffic
volumes
along
the
interstate,
but
if
it
can
be
reduced
by
three,
that's
a
noticeable
amount.
J
So
the
one
last
criteria
that
MnDOT
has
is
this:
this
criteria
was
adopted
in
1997,
so
anything
that
was
built
after
that
would
not
apply.
There
happens
to
be
one
home
that
was
built
in
1997
in
this
neighborhood.
That
is
a
receptor.
J
We
have
all
the
other
homes
that
are
benefiting
receptors
were
constructed
prior
to
1997..
We
still
included
that
property
in
this
report
as
a
benefiting
receptor
and
we'll
move
that
forward
to
MnDOT
in
that
application,
as
as
it
was
built
when
the
neighborhood
was
developing
was
it
would
be
our
our
stance
behind
why
that
property
should
be
included,
and
we
will
work
through
that
with
MnDOT.
J
So,
as
you
can
imagine
the
higher
the
noise
wall,
the
more
the
more
noise
it
will
block
the
lower
it
is,
as
you
get
down
to
14
noise
can
go
over
the
top
and
impact
residential
or,
in
this
case,
Residential
Properties
on
the
back
side.
So
we
want
to
get
that
wall
as
high
as
possible.
We
also,
if
you
can
imagine
noise,
will
it
will
wrap
around
the
ends
of
a
noise
wall.
So
you
want
to
have
it
as
long
as
possible
to
benefit
as
many
Parcels
as
possible.
J
We
do
have
the
Restriction
of
the
river
and
the
floodway
and
and
high
water
events,
so
we're
restricted
with
how
far
we
can
take
the
noise
wall
on
the
east
side.
So
there
will
be
some
of
those
properties
that
a
butt
the
Cedar
River
that
will
have
less
benefit
because
noise
comes
toward
them
in
an
area
we
just
can't
block
with
the
noise
while
it
comes
across,
like
the
bridge
noise,
for
instance,
would
come
across
the
Cedar
River
and
impact
some
homes
from
the
backside.
J
J
We
we
saw
Improvement
or
benefit
from
nine
receptors,
but
that
had
a
high
cost
and
therefore
we
didn't
meet
the
cost
Effectiveness
threshold
it
it
turned
out
to
be
94
800
dollars
per
benefiting
receptor
when
looking
at
that
larger
size
of
of
wall
and
remember,
we
want
to
get
that
down
to
78
500.,
so
we
reduce
the
height
of
it
and
we
reduce
the
length
to
try
to
reduce
the
overall
project
cost.
By
doing
that,
we
have
to
drop
off
two
receptors.
J
J
We
also
looked
at
a
16
foot
wall
with
83
feet
in
length,
little
less
construction
cost
and
therefore
was
even
more
cost
effective.
But
because
we
we
shortened
the
height
of
the
wall
by
six
by
one
foot
and
we
shortened
the
length
of
the
wall.
It
actually
didn't
provide
as
much
decibel
reduction
to
the
area
behind
them.
J
So
we
would
in
this
case
what
we
are
recommending
is
a
17
foot.
High
noise
wall
910
feet
in
length.
It
it
directly
benefits.
Seven
receptors
has
cost
of
500
an
estimated
cost
of
541
800.
We
meet
the
threshold,
so
we
meet
the
requirements
of
the
Grant
application.
J
But
if
we
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail,
let's
go
to
the
one
to
the
fourth
page
of
the
handout.
There's
a
table
there.
That
shows
you
the
properties
that
would
benefit
from
this
flood
wall
design.
The
seven
properties
are
highlighted
there.
We
have
them
labeled,
R8
through
R11
and
then
R14,
R15
and
R16.
Those
are
the
benefiting
properties
we
are
able
to
for
R8
we're
able
to
make
a
noise
reduction
of
six
decibels
for
that
property.
J
With
a
17
foot
high
noise
wall
that
is
910
feet
in
length,
R9
has
7.9
decibel
reduction,
our
10
is
7.3,
R11
is
5.7
decibels
and
then
skipping
down
R14
has
a
seven
decibel
reduction.
R15
has
a
14.6
decibel
reduction
and
R16
has
a
5.7
decibel
reduction,
so
those
are
all
as
I
mentioned
before
three
decibels
is
a
is
a
noticeable
amount,
so
any
any
of
those
numbers
I
listed
there
are
very
noticeable
decibel
reduction.
J
There
are
other
properties
in
that
neighborhood
that
don't
meet
the
five
decibel
reduction,
but
but
do
have
some
reduction.
Those
are
R6
and
R7.
They
have
over
a
three
decibel
reduction,
R12
and
r13
do
as
well,
so
there
there
are
seven
that
meet
the
criteria,
but
there's
another
four
that
do
receive
some
benefit.
It's
you
know
until
you
do
the
study,
you
don't
really
know
the
area
that
that
receives
benefit,
but
you
can
see
here
by
this
I
would
say
generally
small
number
of
receptors
that
it
doesn't
take.
J
Very
you
don't
have
to
get
very
far
away
from
the
interstate
and
the
the
noise
barrier
stops
providing
a
large
amount
of
benefit.
It
really
generally
just
benefits
those
homes
that
are
directly
adjacent
to
the
interstate,
or
maybe
one
roll
in
from
the
interstate,
so
I
I
also
included
there.
Just
you
know,
as
we
talked
about
some
different
decibel
levels,
I
included
a
chart
there.
J
Just
not
normal
noise
60
is,
is
office,
noise
inside
a
car
at
60
miles
per
hour,
and
some
other
thresholds
there
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
the
decibel
noise
in
this
neighborhood
correlates,
with
with
other
factors
in
our
environment.
J
So
as
we
look
at
this
proposed
project
of
17-foot
high
noise
wall
910
feet
in
length,
we
as
a
local
community
as
part
of
this
Grant
application
are
responsible
for
about
10
percent
of
the
costs,
whether
that
would
be
construction
and
engineering
design
costs
as
part
of
a
project
like
this,
although
MnDOT
uses
36
dollars
per
square
foot
for
evaluate
they
use
that
standard
for
evaluating
any
noise
wall
application
that
would
come
to
them.
J
As
you
all
know,
we've
seen
cost
increases
in
recent
years
that
36
dollars
per
square
foot
is
is
likely
not
a
current
day.
Construction
number.
So
when
budgeting
for
a
project
like
this
I
think
something
in
the
high
50s
to
sixty
dollars
per
square
foot
is
a
more
accurate
number.
J
J
If
we
were
successful
in
getting
the
grant,
we
would
then
come
back
to
the
council
and
determine
how
we
want
to
to
do
our
local
contribution.
Do
we
want
to
pay
that
out
of
tax
levy
where
all
the
citizens
throughout
the
community
pay
for
this
flood,
this
noise
wall
noise
barrier?
Would
we
do
assessments
to
local,
benefiting
Property
Owners,
where
they
would
then
pay
for
the
benefit
of
the
noise
wall?
Or
do
we
do
some
combination
thereof
so
that
we
could
decide
that
tonight?
J
If
you
want
to
have
that
discussion
as
to
how
it
is
paid
for
or
we
could
wait
to
see
if
we
are
successful
with
the
Grant
and
have
that
local
funding
conversation
at
that
time,
so
with
that
turn
it
over
to
the
council
for
any
questions
that
you
might
have
you.
A
And
then
the
discussion
needs
to
be
had.
Do
we
want
to
wait
till
the
applications
submitted
and
either
approved
or
denied
before
we
talk
about
either
assessment
or
levying
this
out
of
the
all
the
taxpayers
I
think
we
wait,
wait:
okay,
agreement
on
that
yeah
okay,
then
I
think
we're
just
getting
the
report
then,
for
now
we'll
see
where
the
grant
goes
and
come
back
later.
J
So
what
we
would
be
requesting
tonight
would
be
a
resolution
from
Council
supporting
the
local
funding
and
and
the
Grant
application
right.
B
A
B
D
A
You
Tom
I,
have
number
sevens
resolution
approving
budget
adjustment
number
one.
Okay,
now.
B
That
we're
into
the
new
year
we've
got
some
grants
from
specifically
one
from
the
Hormel
foundation
for
the
Fourth
of
July.
That
we'd
like
to
end
the
budget,
that's
three
days
old,
to
add
23
Grand
of
contributions
and
increase
the
or
decrease
the
use
of
fund
balance.
In
addition
to
that,
we
got
120
000
grants
and
Capital
Improvements
revolving
fund
for
The
Pedestrian
trail
from
East
Side
Lake
to
Highway
218.
we'd
like
to
officially
amend
those
two
budgets
to
put
those
in,
so
that
staff
can
start
working
on
those
projects.
A
Honor
yeah
number
Eight's
resolution
receiving
a
feasibility
report
and
calling
for
public
hearing
on
February
21
2023
for
Street
improvements
on
Fifth
Ave,
Northwest
23
to
22nd
Street
Northwest
and
6th
Avenue
Northwest
from
22nd
Street
to
the
dead
end
and
20th
Street
Northwest
4th
Avenue
to
dead
end
project.
18105
Mitch
is
here.
E
K
K
Thank
you,
okay,
so
the
first
one
is
Fifth
Avenue
6th,
Avenue
and
20th
Street
Northwest.
K
These
streets
were
originally
constructed
in
the
late
80s
for
Sixth
Avenue
and
just
the
cul-de-sac
of
20th,
Street
and
5th
Avenue
and
the
southern
portion
of
20th
Street
were
likely
constructed
in
the
50s.
Currently
they're
36
foot
36
foot
wide
asphalt
streets
and
we
are
proposing
to
reconstruct
these
at
the
existing
widths.
With
new
asphalt
pavement,
we
would
replace
deteriorate,
deteriorated,
curb
and
gutter
in
certain
sections
we
had.
K
We
do
plan
to
do
some
sanitary
sewer
replacement
on
this
entire
project,
except
for
Sixth,
Avenue
and
then
extension
of
sidewalks
on
20th,
Street
and
Fifth
Avenue,
or
excuse
me
between
20th,
Street
and
19th
Street
and
as
well
as
upgrades
the
existing
sidewalk
panels
that
are
currently
deficient.
K
The
total
project
cost
is
approximately
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
paid
for
through
our
assessment
bonds,
wastewater
treatment
fund
and
the
storm
Water
Utility
District
questions
on
what
we're
looking
at
doing
here
and
I'll
have
more
detailed,
we're
currently
working
on
the
design
of
these
projects
and
we'll
have
more
detailed
presentation
of
these
specific
projects.
At
that
time,
foreign.
G
K
Do
our
best
to
accommodate
people
as
much
as
we
can,
but
typically
people
are
parking
on
the
nearest
adjacent
street,
so
in
the
case
of
people
on
Sixth
Avenue
they'd
be
parking
on
22nd
Street
and
having
to
walk
to
their
properties.
In
certain
times
of
the
projects
they
may
be
able
to
drive
to
their
driveways
but
like
when
we're
Austin
utilities
will
be
doing
work
on
these
projects.
K
So
when
they're,
open,
cutting
or
Excavating
for
water
main,
they
will
not
be
able
to
drive
on
the
road
at
that
time,
so
you
will
have
to
walk
from
an
adjacent
Street
and,
like
I
said
we
do
our
best.
You
know
every
year
we
deal
with
people
with
disabilities
or
elderly,
and
we
do
everything
we
can
that's
feasible
to
to
help
them
in
these
situations.
E
B
K
So
this
First
Street
Northwest
project
is
downtown
kind
of
near
Saint.
Olaf
Church,
a
few
banks
are
along
the
stretch,
so
it's
a
busy
street
one
of
our
bigger
projects
for
the
year.
K
It's
it's
a
Concrete
Street
last
constructed
in
1976,
and
what
we
plan
to
do
here
is
remove
the
existing
concrete
pavement
and
all
the
sidewalks
replace
the
street
at
a
similar
width
as
it
is
today
earlier
in
2022,
the
council
approved
removing
the
signal
light
at
4th
Avenue
and
First
Street.
That
will
become
a
four-way
stop
and
we
plan
to
install
curved
bump
outs
there
to
help
with
the
visibility
of
those
stop
signs
and
provide
a
clear
stopping
point
for
vehicles.
K
We
would
replace
the
sanitary
sewer
manholes
in
the
intersection.
Luckily,
on
this
project
we
don't
have
sanitary
sewer
running
down
the
street,
which
would
make
it
a
much
more
challenging
project
to
construct.
So
we
just
have
these
manholes
that
go
across
First
Street,
so
that'll
make
it
a
little
quicker,
and
then
we
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
storm
sewer
reconstruction
as
well
as
street
light
replacement,
and
then
Austin
utilities
has
water
main
and
electrical
work
to
take
place
on
the
project
as
well.
K
E
K
It
all
comes
down
to
what
the
contractors
bid
them
at
you
know,
and
I
can't
predict
that
I
guess
exactly
I
can
I
have
my
hanchum,
where
things
will
be,
but
based
on
experience
and
kind
of
Trends,
and
that
we're
seeing
I
feel
pretty
comfortable
on
these
prices.
Right
now
we
do
have
you
know
some
assumed
price
increases
from
last
year
built
into
these
numbers,
so
I
I
think
we're
pretty
close.
Thank
you.
K
I
A
Think
I
have
number
10's
resolution
receiving
a
feasibility
report
and
calling
for
a
public
hearing
on
February
21st
2023
for
Street
improvements
on
2nd
Street
Southwest
10th
Ave
to
12th
Ave
Southwest
and
10th
Avenue
Southwest
Second
drive
to
4th
Street
Southwest
and
11th
Avenue
Southwest
from
second
drive
to
4th
Street
Southwest
project
number
23102
Mitch.
This
project
is
located
kind
of
on
the
southwest
side
of
town.
K
So
curated
is
in
terms
of
treatments
you
maybe
some
of
the
worst
streets
in
town
two
days
as
far
as
permission.
Actually
it's
not
going
to
be
replaced.
We
would
be
putting
back
the
streets
essentially
what
they
are
today
and
on
the
same
way,
could
you
find
operated,
storm,
Seward,
Place,
sanitary
sewer,
main
holes
and
then
construct
drain
tile
with
sump
pump
connections
for
other
properties,
sidewalk
improvements,
Improvement
Society,
intersections
Austin
utilities,
notice
that
worked
on
the
project
as
well
with
water
main
electricals
and
the
total
estimated
project.
A
B
L
B
K
The
industry
was
likely
to
constructed
in
the
1950s
streets
are
asphalt,
36
feet
wide.
We
put
them
back
on
the
exact
same
width
that
we
have
today
again
we're
replacing
our
full
replacement
carbon
gutter,
Asphalt,
8
events.
We
have
substantial
issue
with
manholes
and
spot
repairs
to
be
treated
storm,
sewers
updates
as
well.
K
This
project
total
estimated
cost
is
1
million,
175
000,
and
would
you
have
stated
funds
on
this
project
for
about
600
000
of
the
total
costs?
Local
costs
for
assessments
would
be
300
000
for
the
19th
Drive
portion
and
100
000
in
centers
sewer
funds
and
170
000
years.
G
B
K
And
International
Paper
I
said
before
a
project
near
the
treatment
plan.
The
street
service
surface
was
driving
the
project
in
this
case
it's
on
the
ground
utilities
that
are
having
the
project.
We
have
a
lift
station
over
near
International
Paper
like
there's
a
dire
needs
of
replacement,
and
earlier
in
2022
the
council
approved.
It
was
moving
forward
with
a
plan
to
eliminate
that
workstation
and
construct
a
new
one
north
of
I-90
and
across
the
street
from
the
mobile
Institute,
and
that
open
immune
space
and
south
side
of
16th
Academy
right
here.
K
If
you
can
see
people's
so
that's
driving
this
project.
So
in
order
to
do
that,
we
need
to
run
new
Gravity
sanitary
sewer
up
the
streets
up.
Close
International
Paper
we'd
have
to
replace
the
road.
In
order
to
do
that,
we
replace
street
with
a
new
Factory
Road
construction
of
the
new
lift
station,
and
then
you
need
to
construct
a
force
main,
which
is
where
the
sewage
is
pumped.
K
That
will
be
lowered,
underneath
the
Interstate
All,
the
Way
South
to
10th
Avenue
yourself
in
the
green
Chapel,
and
then
we
provide
all
the
other
typical
Street
construction
items.
Street
sidewalk
improvements
and
drains
out
of
construction.
Things
like
that
and
also
utilities
does
have
to
perform
on
the
project
as
well.
K
K
H
B
K
Also,
the
last
two
projects
here
are
the
simpler
projects.
These
the
previous
projects
were
full
reconstruction
were
clearing
out
the
entire
row.
Doing
some
big
and
utility
work
these
last
two
middle
and
overlay
projects.
That's
why
we
come
in
with
a
milling
machine,
grind
up
that
top
layer
of
the
asphalt
pavement
and
then
come
back
short
time
later,
with
new
asphalt
pavement
over
the
top
of
the
existing
base.
So
this
project
is
the
south
side
of
the
Hornell
plant
between
4th
Street
and
8th
Street
Northeast.
As
you
all
know,
high
traffic,
heavy
truck
Road.
K
K
We
plan
to
do
it
under
traffic
to
a
certain
extent,
so
we
will
likely
be
shifting
traffic
to
one
side
of
the
road
while
we're
working
on
the
opposite
side.
If
that
makes
sense
of
both
half
South
ABS
half
simultaneously.
We
have
had
a
meeting
with
Hormel
employees
already
talking
about
coordination
and
how
we
can
do
this
with
police
impact
to
their
operations
as
possible
with
their
staff,
but
from
start
to
finish
approximately
one
to
two
weeks
and
it
wouldn't
necessarily
be
working
on
each
of
those
days,
but
just
from
start
to
finish.
A
How
this
last
project
is
another
million
overlay.
This
time
in
a
residential
area
the
street
was
constructed
in
1997.
K
A
B
A
You
moving
on
to
item
number
15's
resolution.
Accepting
donations,
City
of
Austin
looks
like
Austin.
Fire
is
a
beneficiary
of
exercise
and
training
equipment
from
Riverland
Community
College.
We
thank
them
for
that
donation.
I'm
sure
Chief
McCoy
does
as
well
with
that
look
of
resolution
to
accept
that
donation
so
moved.
A
B
A
You
are
there
any
citizens
here
in
the
council
chambers
wishing
to.
A
L
Congratulations
to
the
new
members
unified
year
ahead
of
us
I'm
here:
preparation
for
the
legalization
of
cannabis
and
how
it's
going
to
be
dealt
with
in
the
community.
L
It's
inevitable
that
it's
going
to
be
available
in
some
form
and
if
there's
a
way,
we
could
work
together
to
like
think
of
a
way
to
for
one
keep
it
out
of
the
hands
of
the
kids
or
the
miners,
like
one
of
the
easiest
ways
would
be
to
have
a
lock
box
for
the
parents
be
able
to
have
their
medications
and
if
there's
a
way
to
subsidize
that
or
get
in
a
group
situation
that
would
be
also
accessible
Maybe
by
The
First
Responders,
for
whatever
reasons
they
may
need
it,
and
is
one
thing
and
just
the
fact
that
there's
a
lot
of
medical
need
the
owner
that
we
can
get
through
the
all
the
paperwork
and
the
minutia.
L
To
get
this
ball
rolling
yeah
decrease
probability
of
kids
getting
a
hold
of
the
the
amount
of
opioids
and
medicines
that
could
be
not
given,
because
now
cannabis
is
not
true.
It's
going
to
save
them
money
because,
right
now
getting
a
prescription
would
cost.
You
330
dollars
versus
at
a
store
for
twenty
dollars.
L
That's
coming
right
out
of
the
funds
that
would
help
all
the
other
people
with
medical
conditions
and
I
think
if
we
would
could
get
ahead
of
this
because
you're
going
to
have
you
know
whatever
stores
you're
going
to
have
to
be
a
certain
distance
away
from
City
of
first
school
or
different
things
like
that,
and.
F
L
We
got
a
head
of
the
ball,
you
know
with
the
task
force
meetings
not
meeting
after
so
many
years.
It
seems
like,
after
you
resolved
tobacco
issue
from
18
to
21
before
the
state
got
things
done.
You
know
we,
but
that
was
a.
We
saved
a
little
bit
of
time,
a
little
bit
of
something
I.
L
Anything
that
you
could
do
I
appreciate
it.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
other
people
that
are
in
the
position
of
having
to
take
something
that
could
be
life-threatening
just
by
misuse,
accidental
misuse
whatever,
but
having
a
substance
that
doesn't
have
any.
You
know
fatal
problems
with
it.
You
know
the
sooner
we
could
get
that
done
to
increase
probability
of
hopeful
bad
happenings
would
be
better.
A
A
And
honorary
council
member
comments
George
introduced
herself,
you
had
some
comments
earlier,
but
every
time
after
the
meeting
you'll
be
certainly
we're
open
to
hearing
any
comments
for
you.
If
anything
to
add.
A
M
Yes,
we
need
to
get
a
number
to
Senator,
dornick
and
representative
Mueller
and
talking
with
our
consultant
on
that,
he
suggested
21
million
110
000,
which
is
roughly
half
of
our
loan
amount.
It
seemed
like
a
prudent
amount
to
submit
so
we
plan
on
doing
that
with
our
legislative
I
hear
moving
forward,
our
ask
in
2021
was
13
million
so
and
that's
for
the
bonding
Bill
yep,
that's
for
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
so
we
will
get
that
number
off
to
them
and
see
what
luck
we
have
in
this
legislative
session.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Council
comments,
Paul
I'm!
Sorry,
let's
go
Joyce
I
missed
you
down
here,
too
papers.
Choice,
I
have
nothing!
It's
almost
like
it's
intentional.
E
Want
to
note
the
passing
of
two
community
members
this
week,
Don
Fox
and
Len
schulke,
you
know
I
think
both
of
them
just
gave
a
tremendous
amount
to
Austin.
You
know
in
a
number
of
different
ways
and
always
we're
willing
to
serve
others,
and
you
know,
definitely
brought
light
and
wave
to
Austin.
So
our
city
is
a
little
dimmer
today.
A
Right
light
and
life
right
on
Jeff.
C
Yeah
Echo
that
I
I
grew
up.
I
had
Don
Fox
as
a
teacher
and
a
coach
and
later
served
with
him
on
the
park
and
rec
board
got
to
know
him
as
as
an
adult.
So
it
was
quite
a
quite
a
journey
there,
a
great
guy,
also
another
one
that
passed
recently
was
Oscar
Huff.
That
should
be
noted.
He
was
I,
think,
probably
my
first
boss.
He
ran
the
Minneapolis
Star
Tribune
and
I
delivered
papers
for
him
as
a
teenager,
so
another
great
guy
from
for
Austin
excellent
thanks
Jeff,
otherwise,
I
have
nothing.
G
I,
don't
think
I
have
any
yeah.
That's
right
to.
F
F
E
D
You
I
want
to
report
on
the
culture
and
arts
commission
in
November.
They
received
a
grant
from
CMAC
for
ten
thousand
dollars
to
do
a
mural
project,
we're
going
to
work
with
the
Austin
artist
floor,
Soto
to
come
up
with
the
mural
and
she'll,
be
doing
some
Community
workshops
to
get
community
input
on
it
and
then
it'll
go
up
over
the
summer.
D
Our
preliminary
choice
for
a
site
is
the
east
side
of
the
pool
building
which
faces
down
into
the
playground
and
towards
the
library.
It's
been
a
frequent
graffiti
Target,
so
we
think
that'll
be
a
great
spot
for
a
mural.
So
that's
in
process
I
wanted
to
report.
That
I
also
want
to
mention
Saturday
night
is
the
AAUW
Story
show
out
at
Riverland
it's
a
fundraiser
for
scholarships
for
non-traditional
students.
It's
also
a
very
fun
evening
and
you'll
hear
other
community
leaders
sharing
their
stories.
I
know
Chris
fadness,
Trish
Herron.
D
Some
other
names
you
would
know
are
on
the
list
so
check
it
out
Saturday
night
and
then.
Finally,
since
this
is
my
first
night
back
on
the
council
after
an
absence,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I've
had
kind
of
a
unique
position
in
the
community
where
I
was
involved
in
the
council
for
four
years,
I
had
a
couple
years
break
as
I'm.
You
know
campaigning
this
fall.
D
I
I
have
been
hearing
a
lot
about
conflicts
and
problems
at
the
city
in
many
many
many
different
areas
and
I've
thought
a
lot
about
this
and
I
I
just
want
to
share
publicly
that
my
general
framework
is
is
going
to
be
if
someone
is
working
for
the
city,
if
someone's
an
elected
official,
if
someone's
serving
on
a
board
or
Council.
If
someone
is
using
city
services,
I
think
they're
doing
it
because
they
want
the
good
of
the
city.
I,
don't
think.
We've
got
bad
guys
sitting
on
our
boards
and
commissions.
D
I,
don't
think.
We've
got
bad
guys
working
in
our
ranks
of
of
city
employees.
I
think
we
all
do
want
the
same
thing.
We
all
are
trying
to
make
the
community
better
and
keeping
that
in
mind
and
giving
others
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
that
they
are
motivated
for
the
good
of
the
city
is
going
to
be
really
helpful.
It's
it's
very
easy
to
get
into
us
and
them
and
I
know
I'm
guilty
of
it
myself.
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
set
that
tone
and
say
that's
the
framework
that
I
want
to
move
forward,
because
we
have
a
spectacular,
City
I
could
live
anywhere.
I
wanted
in
the
world
with
internet
access
and
I
choose
to
live
here.
It's
because
the
people
here
and
the
community
here,
so
we
it's
a
great
place,
we're
going
to
make
it
