good.
F
Evening,
mayor
and
Council
in
the
past
years,
we've
had
public
informational
meetings
the
week
before
this
council
meeting
is
public
hearing
and
I'll
go
through
a
presentation
with
people
on
these
projects
and
kind
of
show
a
PowerPoint
of
what
we're
planning
on
doing
this
year.
We
did
a
little
different.
We
held
an
open
house
kind
of
a
two-hour
window,
hoping
to
get
more
make
that
a
better
time
for
people
to
make
work
with
their
schedules
and
Just
for
information.
F
F
The
map
that
you
can
see
on
your
screens.
This
is
was
on
a
big
poster
board
at
these
open
houses
for
each
project
and
kind
of
color-coded.
Some
of
the
work
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
so
people
could
see
what's
taking
place
in
the
project.
So,
generally,
we're
going
to
be
removing
the
asphalt
pavement
on
the
street
and
removing
sections
of
deteriorated
curb
and
then
on.
Fifth
Avenue
and
20th
Street
we'll
be
replacing
sanitary
sewer
for
most
of
those
streets.
F
So
the
blue
shaded
areas
are
deficient
sidewalks
where
things
do
not
meet
at
ADA
requirements
and
then
the
longer
stretch
stretches
like
the
west
side
of
20th
Street.
We
plan
to
construct
new
sidewalk,
where
there
is
none
currently
just
to
make
better
connections
to
the
neighborhoods.
You
can
see
that
the
existing
sidewalk
stops
right
here,
so
we're
going
to
make
a
connection
up
to
Fifth
Avenue
and
then
go
north,
the
cul-de-sacs
between
6th
Avenue
and
20th
Street.
We
plan
to
make
a
connection
from
Sixth
Avenue.
We
have
a
right-of-way
between
2100
and
603..
F
Lastly,
once
that's
all
complete,
then
we
come
in
and
pave
the
road
and
put
things
back
or
put
the
finishing
touches
in
the
boulevard.
Sodding
things
like
that
phasing.
We
plan
to
phase
this
project
into
two
phases:
phase,
one
being
20th
Street.
We
plan
to
get
a
majority
of
the
work
done
on
20th
Street
and
then
once
that's
in
a
drivable
condition,
either
rock
or
asphalt.
Then
we
jump
over
to
Fifth
Avenue
and
6th
Avenue.
This
is
a
little
we've
made.
F
F
Phase
one
we
plan
to
start
in
early
July
kind
of
wrap
up
in
late
September
and
then
phase
two
start
in
about
mid-august
and
finish
up
and
end
the
construction
season
in
late
October,
so
to
be
a
little
overlap.
But
we
plan
to
have
vehicle
access
to
the
properties
on
the
cul-de-sac
here
on
phase
one
before
we
do
anything
too
drastic
on
phase
two
and
then
the
project
costs
overall
estimated
900
000
project
with
650
000
in
Street
improvements
very
little
storm
sewer
improvements,
everything's
in
pretty
good
condition
there.
F
A
Or
it's
just
a
comment:
I
think
it's
a
nice
touch
that
you
offered
that
open
house
to
the
residents.
I
know
this
is
something
that
impacts
those
folks's
lives,
whether
they
can't
get
near
their
house
with
groceries
wherever
it
might
be.
So
it's
nice
to
get
those
conversations
addressed
and
I
appreciate
you
doing
that
and.
F
So
with
the
assessments,
where
there's
three
options
for
payment
that
we
provide
or
allow
option,
one
is
to
pay
the
amount
in
full
by
the
end
of
October.
Option
two
is
to
pay
at
least
fifty
percent
of
the
assessment,
and
then
the
remainder
is
applied
to
your
property
taxes
over
a
15-year
period
with
a
five
percent
interest
rate,
and
then
the
final
option
would
be
to
pay
none
of
that
total
amount.
And
then
the
entire
balance
would
go
on
your
property
taxes
over
15
years.
A
Excellent.
Thank
you.
If
no
further
questions
looking
for
a
resolution
ordering
the
Improvement
approving
plans
and
specifications
and
ordering
advertisement
or
if
there's
anyone
in
the
audience
anybody
here
wishing
to
speak
on
that
matter
for
that
those
neighborhoods
Northwest
well,
okay,
looking
for
resolution
for
5A
so
moved,
is
there
a
second.
F
So
our
next
project
is
First
Street
Northwest,
downtown
area.
This
is
probably
our
most
complicated
project
of
the
year.
When
you
look
at
the
map,
you
know,
there's
only
a
couple
green
lines,
couple
blue
lines
and
maybe
some
pink
lines.
It
doesn't
look
like
much
but
what's
not
being
shown,
is
all
the
Telecommunications
lines
and
other
electrical
things
like
that
that
we
have
to
work
around
so
it
makes
it
very
challenging.
F
So
in
general,
the
scope
of
this
project
will
be
removing
and
replacing
the
concrete
pavement.
Austin
utilities
has
water
main
replacement
on
the
entire
project,
and
we
will
be
working
on
replacing
the
storm
sewer
as
well
as
a
sanitary
sewer
through
the
intersections.
We
don't
have
any
sanitary
sewer
that
runs
down
the
length
of
the
street,
it's
just
these
Crossings
or
just
making
those
new
so
that
it's
in
good
condition.
So
we
don't
have
to
tear
up
the
brand
new
Street
in
five
years.
F
If
something
bad
happens
there
we
near
the
South
End
between
first
and
second
or
first
Avenue
and
Oakland.
We
do
plan
to
extend
a
sanitary
line
to
provide
better
connection
for
this
property.
That's
mid-block!
Our
policy
is
to
have
a
sanitary
sewer,
Main
in
front
of
every
property
in
town,
we'll
extend
that
with
this
project.
F
Austin
utilities
also
has
electrical
vaults,
which
aren't
shown
on
here.
There's
a
bunch
of
structures
that
house
all
their
electrical
work
they'll
be
upgrading
those
making
improvements
to
those
also
at
Fourth
Street.
The
city
council
earlier
this
year
decided
to
remove
the
signal,
lights
and
turn
this
intersection
at
4th
Avenue
into
a
four-way
stop.
So
in
order
to
make
those
more
those
stop
signs
more
visible.
F
F
The
current
street
lights
are
in
very
poor
condition
and
then
upgrading
those
to
led
the
project
and
then
sidewalks
again
the
blue
shaded,
currently
they're
sidewalk
in
all
these
locations,
but
we
will
be
replacing
all
the
sidewalk
on
this
project
as
well
as
pedestrian
ramps
for
access
to
the
street
on
each
corner
and
then
we'll
talk
about
phasing
a
little
bit
since
this
is
a
very
busy
part
of
town.
We
want
to
minimize
this
disruption
to
the
downtown
businesses
and
people
going
to
work
things
like
that.
F
A
A
F
We've
got
around
this
project
as
well
as
all
of
the
sidewalk,
as
we
talked
about
at
our
last
work
session,
Stephen
presented
kind
of
our
assessment
policy
for
sidewalk,
and
this
is
the
project
where
more
than
50
percent
of
the
existing
sidewalk
was
in
poor
condition,
so
that
kind
of
triggers
our
our
full
replacement
on
this
project.
So
we
plan
to
replace
all
of
the
sidewalk
on
this
project
as
well
as
pad
sidewalk
on
the
west
side
of
Second.
F
Street
make
a
connection
to
our
bike
trail,
which
is
hard
to
see
on
this
map,
but
along
the
river
on
second
drive,
that's
actually
called
make
a
connection
to
our
Trail.
Let's
do
the
sidewalk
here
and
then
there
are
these
steps
that
used
to
go
down
the
hill
or
they
currently
go
down
the
hill
and
I
think
they
went
to
the
old
swinging
bridge
that
used
to
be
there.
F
F
Austin
utilities
has
water
main
work
on
both
of
or
all
three
of
these
streets
and
the
city
we'll
be
doing
some
storm
sewer
work
in
the
Second
Street
and
11th
Avenue
intersection,
as
well
as
a
little
bit
down
here
at
the
end
of
11th
Avenue,
and
then
for
sanitary
sewer.
We
just
have
a
few
spot
repairs
to
repair
some
some
broken
pipes
and
then
again,
like
I,
said
pedestrian
ramps
to
all
the
new
sidewalk
replacements.
F
This
project
we
will
be
phasing
in
two
phases:
phase,
one
being
10th
Avenue
and
the
north
block
of
Second
Street
and
then
phase
two
would
be
11th
Avenue
and
the
South
block
of
Second
Street
phase
one.
We
plan
to
start
in
early
May
and
wrap
up
at
the
end
of
July
and
Then,
followed
right
behind
with
starting
phase
two
in
August
and
wrapping
up
at
the
end
of
October.
H
Mitch,
can
you
talk
through
kind
of
the
sidewalk
thinking
a
little
bit?
I
know
we
talked
about
it
in
our
last
session,
but
I
think
kind
of
one
is
kind
of
the
rationale
behind.
Why
would
we
would
replace
an
entire
sidewalk
and
two
is
what
options
residents
have
if
they
think
that
maybe
there's
some
you
know
their
sidewalks
are
not
in
as
bad
a
condition
or
replaced.
Maybe
more
recently
sure.
F
So,
every
every
year,
prior
to
a
project,
we
send
our
staff
out
to
go
survey
these
sidewalks
and
determine
which
ones
meet
Ada
or
Americans,
with
the
Disability
Act
standards
and
those
standards
are
pretty
tight
requirements
like
a
tripping
Hazard
on
the
sidewalk
is
a
quarter
inch.
That's
what's
considered
non-compliant
with
Ada
any
gaps
between
sidewalk
panels
over
a
quarter
inch
cross
slope.
F
F
Don't
have
a
map
available
to
show
that,
but
we
show
all
these
panels
where
they're
being
replaced
and
in
this
project
over
50
percent
of
the
total
sidewalk
was
in
poor
condition
and
there's
some
sidewalk
stamps
out
there
that
back
in
the
day
they
used
to
stamp
the
concrete
with
a
year
that
it
was
poured.
There's
some
sidewalk
out
here
that
says
1939.,
so
our
since
there's
so
much
of
it
out
there.
Our
reasoning
is
that
if
we
don't
do
it
now,
you
know
we're
not
coming
back
for
50
years.
F
There
are
some
instances
where-
and
we
have
this
in
our
policy
where,
based
on
our
engineering
judgment,
if,
if
there's
some
sidewalk,
that
was
obviously
more
recently
replaced
than
you
know,
the
general
sidewalk
on
the
street
and
is
in
meets
ADA
requirements,
we
could
remove
that
from
someone's
assessment,
but
that
would
need
to
those
people
need
to
contact
me
and
I
would
go
evaluate
that
this
spring
after
the
frost
is
out
of
the
ground.
Thank
you.
D
F
Oh
okay,
right
here,
okay,
so
this
is
a
very
narrow
right-of-way.
It's
not
our
standard
roadway
right
away!
Typically,
that's
66
feet!
I,
don't
know
the
exact
dimension
of
this
one,
but
it's
significantly
narrower
than
that.
So
our
street
is
currently
very
narrow
since
we're
so
constrained,
we
do
not
have
room
to
widen
the
street
at
all.
We
do
plan
to
put
curb
and
gutter
on
both
sides
of
the
road
and
we
can
maybe
widen
it
just
a
little
bit.
F
That
is
something
we'd
like
to
talk
to
you
about
there.
There
is
a
fence
line
right
on
the
the
right-of-way
line,
with
a
bunch
of
trees
on
it
at
a
minimum
we
plan
to,
depending
on
cooperation
we
can
get
from
homeowners.
We
plan
to
clear
cut.
You
know
the
brush,
that's
kind
of
overhanging
through
that
fence
and
any
tree
branches
that
are
extending
into
the
roadway,
because
that,
right
now,
it's
not
so
bad
with
all
the
leaves
and
foliage
off
the
trees
and
brush.
F
D
I
I
Another
question
I've
been
told
by
City
before,
like
if
a
tree
gets
going
over
to
rubs
against
the
trucks
or
something
and
I've
been
told
to
trim
that
so
I've
trimmed
it.
But
it
sounds
that
a
city
is
the
city
supposed
to
trim
it
or
is
the
private?
Is
the
person
that
lives
there
supposed
to
treatment?
I
F
So
we
want
to
contain
contain
that
water
in
the
carbon
Gutter
and
it
just
makes
our
streets
last
longer.
The
other
thing
that
will
help
is
there's
some
erosion
coming,
there's
a
from
the
street
up
to
the
300
property,
it's
a
pretty
steep
embankment
and
that
carbon
gutter
will
help
hold
that
soil
in
and
we'll
stabilize
that
with
some
vegetation
and
it'll
keep
that
dirt
from
eroding
into
the
roadway
as
well.
H
A
H
Only
question
on
the
on
the
curbing
I
think
that
piece
makes
sense.
Is
that
a
I
mean
I,
don't
think
we've
probably
redone
this
for
50
60
years.
So
is
our
thinking
around
curb
and
gutter
and
like
how
it
positively
benefits
the
street
different
than
maybe
50
years
ago.
The
last
time
we
would
have
redone
the
street
kind
of
to
Joel's
question
around
why
it
hasn't
been
there
for
the
last
80
90
years,
yeah.
F
You
know
you
know
if
it,
if
it's
not
put
in
with
a
project,
it's
really
hard
to
go
back
and
just
add
curb
to
a
street
with
nothing
else
happening.
So
the
fact
that
it
was
built
without
curb
I
can't
speak
to
why
it
was
was
not
put
in.
You
see
a
few
scattered
properties
throughout
town
that,
for
whatever
reason
they
don't
have
curb
and
gutter
like
the
Northwest
project,
for
example,
that
has
like
a
30-foot
stretch
where
there's
no
curb.
F
Why
I
can't
really
speak
to
that,
but
anytime
we're
doing
a
project
we
we
like
to
get
it
in
just
so.
It
helps
keep
our
roads
lasting
longer
because
it
contains
that
asphalt,
pavement
that
asphalt's
flexible
flexible.
So
when
you
get
cars
driving
along
the
edge
of
it,
if
you
don't
have
that
curb
and
gutter
there,
it
kind
of
over
time
will
kind
of
deteriorate
that
edge,
so
the
concrete
curb
contains
it
and
it
helps
keep
drainage
where
we
want
it
to
be.
Thank
you.
Another.
I
The
road
is
already
up
higher
than
I
driveway,
and
you
know
there's
a
large
collection
of
water
there
right
now,
but
am
I.
How
is
that
going
to
affect
my
library?
What
am
I
going
to
have
to
do
am
I
going
to
have
to
do
anything.
Am
I
going
to
get
degrade
or
am
I
going
to
have
to
change
anything,
or
are
you
going
to
change
it.
F
So
that'll
be
taken
care
of
as
part
of
the
project,
so
in
general,
when
we
add
curve
to
places
where
there
wasn't
true
before
that,
that
roadway
gets
a
little
lower
than
it
was
previously.
So
then
we'll
have
to
reconstruct
your
your
driveway
up
to
the
property
line
and
we'll
make
that
a
nice
transition
to
what
you
currently
have
there,
and
but
that
could
affect
me
on
that
point.
Right.
I
may
have
to
do
something.
F
F
We
have
to
close
these
streets
to
do
the
work,
you'll
see
Austin
utilities
and
our
crews
will
have
giant
holes
in
the
middle
of
the
street,
so
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
a
vehicle
down
the
roadway.
So
most
of
the
time
we
have
to
tell
people
to
park
on
an
adjacent
Street,
that's
open,
and
it's
you
know
you
look
at
our
phasing
here
for
some
of
these
people.
F
You
know
in
this
area
that's
a
little
challenging
because
they're
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
a
phase
of
a
project
and
so
they're
going
to
have
to
walk
a
little
further.
We
do
our
best
to
accommodate
people
with
disabilities.
I've
spoken
to
several
people
in
these
projects
this
year
already
that
have
on
a
wheelchair
or
they're
elderly.
We
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
make
life
easier
for
them,
but
we
we
do
understand
it.
It's
a
challenge
and
a
major
inconvenience
to
people
on
these
projects.
J
A
K
F
So
this
Project's
very
similar
to
the
project
we
just
discussed
in
the
southwest,
we'll
be
removing
all
basketball
Pavements,
the
curb
and
gutter
Austin
utilities
has
water
main
replacement
throughout
the
project,
sanitary
sewer
work
for
the
city.
We
will
be
replacing
all
the
sanitary
sewer
manholes,
as
well
as
making
some
spot
repairs
throughout
the
project.
F
Very
little
storm
sewer
on
this
project,
just
a
little
bit
down
by
Highway
218
and
some
reconfiguring
down
here
at
the
19th
Drive
and
7th
Avenue
intersection
and
as
well
on
7th
Avenue
and
19th
Drive
or
sanitary
sewer.
You
can
see
here
we
have
this
really
goofy
manhole.
Here
we
will
be
kind
of
reconfiguring
the
flow
and
taking
a
better,
more
direct
route
to
get
that
out
of
there.
So
that'll
be
an
improvement
again
replacing
deficient
sidewalk
and
making
some
connections
where
there
are
none.
F
F
There
is
no
sidewalk
currently
so
we
plan
to
add
that
in
to
make
connections
once
we're
done
with
all
that
work,
we'll
be
restoring
the
boulevards
just
like
every
other
project,
and
we
can
look
at
the
phasing
this
one
we're
looking
at
a
three-phase
project
phase,
one
starting
in
early
May
and
completing
in
Late
July.
This
kind
of
a
curve
here
finishing
that
up
and
then
in
mid-june
we
would
move
on
to
phase
two
with
kind
of
half
of
Seventh
Avenue,
and
the
plan
is
once
Austin.
Utilities
is
nearly
complete
with
their
work.
F
A
Counseling
questions
on
item
number:
eight
public,
any
public.
Here,
speaking
on
the
matter
hearing,
none
looking
for
resolution
frame,
number
eight
resolve
resolution
ordering
Improvement
approving
plans
and
specifications
and
ordering
advertisements
for
bids
so
moved.
Is
there
a
second
second
Tom.
J
A
F
This
project
is
another
big
project
that
we
had
planned
to
improve
our
sanitary
sewer
and
lift
stations
in
this
area.
This
one's
a
little
different
than
some
of
the
other
projects,
where
it's
being
driven
more
by
the
underground
than
the
street
surface,
and
what
we
plan
to
do
here
is
we
have
three
lift
stations,
one
up
here,
one
over
here
and
one
down
here-
that
we
plan
to
combine
into
one
right
north
of
I-90
in
this
kind
of
green
space
and
in
order
to
kind
of
minimize
our
maintenance
costs
of
maintaining
three
lift
stations.
F
F
F
F
So
we
would
I
think
it's
one
of
the
next
items
of
setting
the
public
hearings
for
the
assessments.
So
we
have
sent
assessment
letters
to
the
property
owners
adjacent
to
8th
Street.
We
would
look
at
not
holding
those
public
hearings
and
removing
those
assessments
from
those
properties
and
then
in
2024.
F
Approving
the
so
tonight's,
the
hearing
on
improvements
so
approving
the
improvements
and
letting
us
continue
to
develop
the
plans
and
get
that
ready
for
a
potential
project
bid
letting
later
this
year.
But
then
the
street
portion
of
that
work.
We
would
have
to
reassess
in
2024
to
the
adjacent
property
owners.
F
Oh
sorry,
I
skipped
that
part,
so
the
total
project
cost
is
estimated
at
2.4
million
dollars
with
half
of
that
1.2
million
coming
from
sewer
improvements
and
the
other
half
of
storm
and
Street
improvements.
So
the
the
sanitary
for
this
year
would
be
less
than
that
full
1.2
million
because
we
wouldn't
be
doing
the
portion
from
16th
Avenue
all
the
way
up
to
International
Paper,
but
that
would
be
done
in
2024
with
the
8th,
Street
Construction.
A
F
So
these
last
two
projects
are
more
of
the
simple
projects,
so
Hormel
drive
from
Fourth
Street
to
8th
Street
Northeast.
We
will
be
doing
a
million
overlay
where
we
will
Mill
the
top
three
inches
of
asphalt
on
the
street
and
then
right
after
that,
we'll
come
back
and
pay
four
new
inches
on
top
of
it.
The
streets
in
okay
condition
but
asphalt
takes
about.
You
know
it's
kind
of
about
a
25
year.
Life
span
before
it
needs
kind
of
a
Rejuvenation,
and
this
was
last
Mill
and
overlaid
and
I
believe
it
was
2001..
F
So
doing
this
now
will
prevent
a
complete
Reconstruction
from
being
necessary
for
another.
You
know
30
years
or
so,
which
would
cause
major
disruption
to
Hormel,
and
you
know
others.
So
this
is
kind
of
a
congratulations
extension
of
the
service
light
for
this
roadway.
So
we
plan
to
do
this
project
in
June
or
July,
and
we've
been
working
with
Hormel
on
discussing
how
to
complete
the
project
with
minimal
impact
to
them
and
their
operations
and,
like
I,
said
June
or
July.
F
It's
going
to
take
us
about
two
weeks
to
do
the
work,
we're
working
we're
in
discussions
with
a
contractor
that
we
frequently
work
with
on
how
they
can
stage
the
work
to
keep
traffic
open
and
provide
access
to
Hormel.
So
that's
what
we're
working
on
there
estimated
project
cost
is
275
thousand
dollars
paid
for
through
assessments
to
Property,
Owners
tax
levy
and
state
aid.
L
L
A
F
This
is
another
million
overlay
project
this
time
in
a
residential
area,
we
would
Mill
off
the
top
inch
and
a
half
of
the
existing
asphalt
pavement
and
then
right
afterwards
come
back
and
pave
a
new
inch
and
a
half
of
pavement
again
this
one.
We
plan
to
do
in
June
or
July.
Work
will
take
approximately
one
week,
depending
on
weather
things
like
that.
E
F
I.
Also
on
all
these
projects,
I,
post,
weekly,
updates
to
our
construction
page,
so
people
can
look
there
and
see
what's
going
on
this
week
and
then
occasional
updates
on
Facebook
and
then
on
something
like
this
project
or
the
mill
and
overlay
where
I
might
say,
they're
going
to
be
here
next
week,
but
their
work's
probably
only
going
to
take
them
three
days.
F
H
It's
just
a
piece
of
appreciative
feedback.
I
know
you
always
get
the
questions
from
people
going.
Why
the
hell
is
this
happening.
I've
actually
heard
from
a
couple
people
on
this
project
who
are
excited
about
it,
so
they
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
their
Road
being
smooth
and
pothole
free.
One
of
the
few.

all
about.
Is
there
a
second
second
time.
E
B
M
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
before
you
tonight
are
a
couple
of
suggestions
for
updating
the
travel
policy.
Two
sections
one
is
for
the
meal
reimbursement
and
the
other
is
for
overnight
travel
for
a
distance
miles
difference
the
meal
reimbursement
hasn't
been
updated
since
2012,
when
we
first
implemented
the
amounts
for
the
reimbursement
and
in
looking
at
some
other
cities
and
other
government
entities
are
our
amounts
were
low.
M
So
that's
the
one
section
to
update
and
then
the
other
one
would
be
for
the
distance.
If
you
had
an
event
starting
the
the
the
morning
the
next
morning
for
the
conference
or
whatever
it
might
be,
if
it
started
before
9
A.M,
if
you
were
traveling
currently
it's
a
distance
of
125
miles
or
more,
you
would
have
an
overnight
stay.
We're
suggesting
that
it'd
be
reduced
to
75
miles,
which
would
be
consistent
with
our
other
night
conference
requirement.
M
You
know
I
just
think
that
there's
for
the
ones
that
are
traveling
and
do
have
the
meals
you
know
if
we
do
have
a
low
amount.
So
when
I
did,
when
I
did
look
for
the
ones
I
did
spot
check.
Look
like
lunch
and
dinner
were
primarily
the
meals
that
were
being
reimbursed.
So
I,
don't
have
an
exact
number
for
you,
but
I
I.
Don't
think
it
would
be
a
large
expense
I'm,
not
tremendously.
A
C
C
They've
worked
and
moved
that
forward
and
going
to
have
a
display
at
the
state
capitol
gallery
on
March
13th
through
June
30th
of
this
year
and
as
a
result
of
the
number
of
photos
that
they
had,
they
wanted
to
add
more
and
populate.
The
presentation
there
at
the
state
capitol
to
highlight
Austin
would
be
the
first
project
that
they're
doing
to
highlight
our
immigrants
in
our
state.
Bonnie,
Ritz
and
Danny.
Heine
I
see
us
here
as
well
Bonnie.
If
you
want
to
come
up
and
add
some
comment,
that'd
be
helpful.
C
Otherwise
we
want
to
see,
if
council's
agreeable,
to
participating
in
the
cost
to
framing
up
some
more
of
the
beautiful
photos,
the
cost
of
that's
about
ten
thousand
dollars.
The
ask
is
a
thousand
dollars
for
the
city
to
participate
towards
that
goal
and
they
can
answer
any
other
further
questions.
Okay,.
N
Mayor
Stephen
Council,
it's
an
honor
to
be
here
tonight
and
we're
so
proud
of
the
project,
our
Austin,
our
America.
This
is
the
book
that
was
published
and
then
thank
you
here
at
City
Hall,
because
you
had
the
pictures
for
several
months
in
the
hallway
upstairs
so
people
could
see
them
and
also
there's
a
wonderful
introduction
that
Jason
did
at
the
beginning
of
the
book.
N
There's
also
a
really
fun
picture
of
your
honorary
council
members
in
there
and
then
other
members
of
the
citizens
here
in
Austin
and
as
Craig
was
saying,
we're
very
excited
and
proud
of
the
fact
that
Bill
toffic's
portraits
will
be
the
first
show
in
The
Gallery
at
the
Capitol
since
covet
hit.
So
we're
we're
excited
and
we
want
to
invite
all
of
you
there's
going
to
be
an
opening
for
the
exhibit
on
March
13th
from
four
to
six
and
Bill
wants
Austin
to
be
a
role
model
for
other
communities.
N
O
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
speak
to
you
tonight,
council,
members
and
mayor.
We
are
requesting
a
thousand
dollars
towards
the
capital
exhibit
which
will
allow
us
to
frame
purchase,
frames,
10
more
frames.
Actually,
it's
12,
because
two
of
the
frames
have
become
damaged
so
purchasing
some
additional
frames
reprinting
the
book
so
that
we'll
have
them
available
to
sell
through
the
Minnesota
historical
society
and
at
Sweet
reads:
we've
basically
run
out
of
books.
O
Just
a
very
few
left
from
the
original
printing
Riverland
Community
College
is
the
Fiscal
Agent
for
the
project
and
Book
Sales
will
go
to
help
fund
scholarships
at
Riverland,
and
so
really
thank
you
for
considering
the
request.
We
think
it
aligns
really
well
with
the
Austin
human
rights
commission's
strategic
plan.
We
think
it
aligns
really
well
with
Austin's
efforts
to
become
a
well
welcoming
intentionally
welcoming
community
Through,
the
welcome
America
initiative
and
also
it
aligns
well
with
the
Austin
Arts
commission.
So
thank
you
very.
A
J
N
Yes,
we've
gotten
it's
it's
as
each
email
comes
with
another
donations.
Yes,
it's
you
know
it's
so
heartwarming
and
there
are
there's.
You
know
a
couple
of
the
larger
corporations
in
town.
If
given
and
then
several
individuals
and
we're
very
grateful
for
for
each
of
that,
because
putting
it
together
should
give
us
the
amount
that
we
need
to
finish
up
the
project
right.
A
Well,
I
fully
endorsed
a
thousand
dollars,
I'd
love
to
give
more,
but
a
thousand
dollars
is
at
least
I.
Think
we
should
do
you
may
not
know
this
with
a
delegation
coming
from
Portugal
was
coming
to
you're
only
picking
about
three
four
five
cities
to
visit
Austin's,
one
of
them
to
see
how
we
put
together
such
a
welcoming
community.
So
this
is
just
lends
itself
Statewide
a
little
more
exposure
to
us
and
what
we're
doing
as
well
as
International
exposure
we're
getting
here
in
a
few
weeks
from
Portugal.
So.
H
A
A
P
This
is
just
kind
of
an
addendum
to
the
last
time
we
talked
about
this.
It
was
an
oversight
not
to
include
that
effective
date
when
we
did
that
the
effective
date
of
January
1st
coincides
with
the
inclusion
of
this
position
in
the
bargain
unit
started
their
contract
and,
more
importantly,
it
coincides
with
the
building
cycle
from
the
grant
itself,
so
it
falls
in
line
with
when
they're
building
cycle
starts.

I,

honorary

member
George
Thomas,
he
did
call
earlier
said
he

not

So
he

absent
tonight,

return

reports

C
Thank
you
mayor
members,
I
understand
the
bonding
bill
in
the
Senate
there's
only
the
Republican
caucus.
As
you
know,
the
bonding
Bill
requires
a
super
majority,
evidently
their
interest
in
tying
the
tax
bill
with
a
bonding
bill.
I
visited
with
Senator
dornick
about
that
impressed
upon
him
how
important
our
bonding
project
is,
and
we've
been
delayed
several
instances,
and
that
we
would
certainly
appreciate
and
hope
that
wasn't
the
case
that
we
could
Advance
the
bonding
bill
as
soon
as
possible.
C
So
if
members
are
interested,
please
join
me
in
urging
him
to
see
the
light
in
that
regard.
I
know
that
it's
spotted
discussion
about
single
subject
bills,
so
that
would
seem
to
violate
their
own
push
in
that
regard,
so
other
than
that
Stephen
and
I
believe
maybe
Chief
McKee
can
want
to
talk
about
the
snow
emergency.

even
side
of
the
road
that
would
be
even
numbered
houses
park
on
the
even
numbered
house
side
of
the
road.
So.
J
G
Our
snow
crews
are
planning
to
begin
snow
removal
around
4
a.m.
Tomorrow
morning
they'll
be
working
as
we
normally
do
in
our
on
our
Mains
and
secondaries
trying
to
get
those
done
before
about
the
seven
eight
o'clock
hour,
then
they
will
move
into
residential
areas.
We
will
be
plowing
the
odd
side
of
the
street
tomorrow
and
then
on
Thursday.
We
will
be
doing
kind
of
likely
doing
that
same
schedule,
starting
at
4
a.m.
G
We
believe
that
it's
likely
on
Wednesday
and
Thursday
going
to
take
our
our
10
plow
Crews
about
15
hours
to
get
through
this
large
of
an
event,
so
they'll
be
working
from
4
a.m,
till
probably
around
5
PM,
each
of
those
days
Wednesday
and
Thursday
on
Thursday
morning,
we'll
also
have
a
second
crew
in
cleaning
up
the
downtown
area.
That
would
be
the
the
crew
that
you
see
windrowing
the
snow
together
in
the
center
of
the
road
blowing
it
into
trucks
and
Hauling
it
down
and
disposing
of
it
at
off-site
locations.
G
G
That
is
an
even
day,
so
cars
will
be
back
parked
on
the
even
side
of
the
road
and
we'll
be
plowing
the
odd
side
we
plow
the
center
and
the
legal
side
when
we
do
that,
we'll
likely
also
be
doing
a
second
downtown
cleanup
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
any
of
that
snow
that
comes
in
Thursday
throughout
the
day
and
into
Friday
evening.
So
that
is
our
plan
for
now
how
we're
going
to
tackle
this
and
we
will
adjust
accordingly,
as
as
the
conditions
change,
but
that's
that's
our
plan
at
this
time.
K
Not
only
that
again
when
these
happen,
we've
asked
staff
tonight
to
try
to
ticket
the
downtown
area.
We've
tried
to
mess,
it
get
the
message
out
as
many
platforms
as
possible.
We
certainly
don't
want
a
ticket.
We
absolutely
do
not
want
to
tow.
It
takes
a
lot
of
our
staff
time
and
best
way
to
have
to
do
that
is
to
have
people
legally
park,
and
then
we
don't
have
to
get
in
that.
But
tonight
we
will
ticket
when
things
really
ramp
up
and
Steven's
crews
are
out,
we
work
with
them.
They
identify
a
need.
K
J

Two
quick
things:
one
is
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
at
the
state
capitol
last
week
with
both
of
our
legislators
and
it
would
Echo
what
Craig
is
saying
is
I
think
both
of
them
are
obviously
supportive
of
the
bonding
project.
Both
understand
the
importance
to
Austin.
At
the
same
time,
there
is
a
lot
of
pressure,
especially
on
the
Senate
side
being
put
on,
because
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
chips
for
a
minority
party,
and
so
the
more
we
can
continually
reinforce
the
importance
of
the
project.
H
I
think
that
just
helps
to
offset
the
constant
pressure
that
happens
from
leadership
in
Saint
Paul,
but
both
obviously
very
supportive
of
it,
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
their
backs
on
that
and
then.
Lastly,
congratulations
to
the
Austin
Packer
dance
team
on
their
qualification
and
being
a
finalist
in
the
state,
dance
tournament
and
good
luck
to
all
the
winter
sports
teams
locally,
as
they
start
sections
and
state
participation
here
over
the
next
couple
weeks.
A
The
only
thing
I
have
to
add
is
right.
After
our
last
Collins
meeting
the
day
after
we
had
that
an
accelerated
Austin
event,
accelerate
Austin
event
with
the
velocity,
Daniel
Hines
came
to
town
and
it
was
very
impactful
to
see
the
the
energy
that
he
brings.
But
the
energy
in
that
room
was
pretty
amazing
too,
and
we're
keeping
to
continue
that
project
and
and
see
what
we
can,
what
we
can
develop
out
of
it.
