Description
City of Austin, Minnesota
A
B
A
D
So
so
tonight
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
hit
all
the
key
points
for
our
wastewater
facility
hearing
they
were
having
so
coming
tonight
from
seh
we
have
Bob,
Coors
and
also
Susan
danzel
and
Susan
has
been
working
with
us
at
the
treatment
plant
for
probably
the
last
seven
years
on
different
projects
and
she's,
been
our
our
main
contact
for
this
project
and
and
working
forward.
So
she's
come
tonight
just
to
fill
in
any
blanks
and
make
sure
that
we're
hitting
all
the
key
important
topics
on
this
hearing.
D
So
as
we
discussed
at
the
previous
meeting,
this
has
been
about
a
five-year
project
that
we've
been
working
through
with
a
phase
one
and
a
phase.
Two
of
our
facility
plan,
some
of
the
key
parts
of
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
that
we
have
had
many
improvements
over
the
years
and
with
original
infrastructure
beginning
in
1904,
carrying
through
with
projects
every
five
to
ten
years.
Major
improvements
up
through
2014
and
the
main
thing
I
want
to
stress
from
from
this
slide
is
the
infrastructure
that
you
see
in
the
1939
photo
all.
D
But
one
of
those
buildings
are
still
in
use
in
2019,
so
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
good,
long-lasting
infrastructure,
it's
a
good
treatment
process,
but
at
80
years
old,
it's
time
to
look
in
a
different
direction.
So,
through
our
facility
plan
process
we
evaluated
different
criteria
to
try
and
project
out
for
20
years,
looking
at
projecting
up
to
2040.
So
through
that
process
we
looked
at
population
growth
using
our
comp
plan.
D
We
also
looked
at
industrial
growth
from
Hormel
and
other
industrial
users
in
the
city,
and
we
projected
that
out
out
20
years
looking
at,
we
will
talk
about
a
couple
different
numbers.
Originally,
we
were
looking
at
flow
rate
in
2020
of
10.0
million
gallons
per
day
and
then
so
some
of
our
estimates
are
based
on
that.
But
then
later
the
final
numbers
are
based
on
ten
point,
four
million
gallons
per
day.
E
In
looking
at
the
alternatives,
ways
to
identify
what
treatment
requirements
are
the
MPCA
has
a
process
to
do
this.
You
submit
a
preliminary
effluent
limit,
Austan
the
city
of
austin's
wastes
where
trooper
plants
a
little
unique
in
that
it's
expanding
and
that
triggers
the
federal
anti-dandruff
and
basically,
what
those
rules
mean
is
that
the
states
of
the
water,
the
waters
of
the
state,
cannot
be
degraded
further
than
they
are
today.
E
D
So,
during
the
initial
design
process,
we
looked
at
all
of
our
existing
equipment
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
identified
different
three
different
categories:
the
top
items
listed
in
green,
our
infrastructure-
that
is
good
and
can
be
reused.
The
infrastructure
in
the
middle
is
is
questionable
infrastructure.
It
needs
a
lot
of
improvement,
so
it
kind
of
depends
on
which
which
treatment
process
we
changed
to,
and
then
the
items
identified
in
red
at
the
bottom
are
those
that
are
beyond
their
useful
life.
They
need
to
be
replaced.
D
Even
if
we
stayed
with
the
same
treatment
process,
they
would
need
to
be
replaced
during
our
evaluation
process.
We
looked
at
five
different
criteria.
We
wanted
a
treatment
process
that
was
achievable,
so
we
want
something
that
is
tried-and-true,
something
that
has
examples
in
the
state
or
close
by
in
adjacent
states
that
we
know
will
work
for
us.
D
We
want
a
system,
that's
robust,
something
that
will
handle
our
high
flows,
that
we
get
during
flood
times
and
also
variations
as
strengths
that
we
get
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plants
or
we're
looking
for
a
system,
that's
robust,
we're
also
taking
into
account
ER
operation
of
maintenance.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
adopting
a
system-
that's
very
high
in
energy
use.
D
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
being
energy
conservative
with
this
project,
looking
at
all
of
those
things
when
it
comes
to
chemical
addition
that
gets
expensive,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
trying
to
manage
as
well.
So
that's
a
factor
in
how
we
move
forward
reuse
of
the
existing
infrastructure.
Again,
all
those
items
that
we
have
listed
in
green
that
are
in
good
condition.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
trying
to
maximize
their
reuse
and
then
also
comfort
level.
D
So
alternative
number
one
was
to
expand
or
upgrade
our
existing
system
and
Susan,
and
her
group
at
seh
has
gone
through
identified
our
existing
equipment.
What
needs
to
be
replaced?
What
needs
to
be
upgraded
in
order
to
meet
those
new
flow
requirements
with
our
existing
treatment
process
working
through
that
costs
were
put
together
for
construction
and
then
expanding
that
out
for
a
20-year
net
present
value
for
alternative
number
one
to
expand
our
current
process.
D
D
Alternative
number
two
was
looking
at
a
combined
activated
sludge
treatment
process
again,
looking
at
what
type,
what
facilities
we
can
reuse,
what
facilities
need
to
be
reconstructed
and
coming
up
with
costs
for
that
the
the
initial
construction
cost
is
a
little
bit
more,
but
the
20-year
net
present
value
is
slightly
less
than
alternative
number
one.
At
eighty
seven
point:
seven
million
again
there's
different
pros
and
cons
to
each
one.
D
So
when
we
look
at
a
breakdown
of
the
different
alternatives,
we
have
alternative
one.
Two
and
three
that
we
just
talked
about
alternative
number
four
would
be
to
construct
a
brand
new
wastewater
treatment
plant
on
a
green
site.
That
cost
is
estimated
at
about
one
hundred
and
fifteen
million
dollars
to
do
that.
D
An
alternative
number
five
would
be
to
do
nothing
which
that
has
an
unknown
cost
to
us
and
that's
a
very
difficult
decision,
because
we
are
currently
right
at
our
limits
right
now
and
our
infrastructure,
as
you've
seen
in
those
photos,
was
in
some
places
over
80
years
old.
So
we're
at
a
point
where
we
need
to
make
a
decision.
We
need
to
decide
how
we
want
to
move
forward,
and
this
process
has
helped
us
work
through
that.
D
E
So
when
there's
new
structures
being
built
today
at
the
end
of
the
twenty
years,
they
still
have
30
years
of
remaining
life,
whereas,
for
example,
alternative
one
where
there's
more
reuse
of
existing
infrastructure
at
the
end
of
20
years,
those
structures
have
no
remaining
useful
life,
so
there's
no
value
there.
So
when
you
factor
in
those
those
costs
of
salvage
and
the
operations
and
maintenance
alternative
to
has
been
lowest
net
present
value,
so.
D
All
those
numbers
that
we've
been
talking
about
were
based
on
a
10.0
mg
d
plant
and
based
on
that,
we
looked
at
alternative
number
two,
as
the
most
cost
effective
for
moving
forward
after
we
decided
on
an
alternative
number
two.
We
looked
at
the
plant
size
just
a
little
bit
more
and
looking
at
existing
flows
from
the
community
and
from
the
industry.
We
decided
we
better
bump
that
up
just
a
little
bit,
so
we
went
to
ten
point
four
million
gallons
per
day
and
the
new
cost
break
down.
D
D
It
would
be
our
goal
to
start
this
process
in
2020
with
design
preliminary
design
and
that
will
take
about
a
year
to
18
months.
So
this
is
a
continued
long
process
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
working
through
all
the
ins
and
outs
on
a
large
project
like
this
and
our
goal
to
start
construction
would
be
june
of
2021,
and
then
there
would
be
about
three
years
of
construction.
So
this
is
a
very
long
process.
D
We've
been
working
on
it
for
about
five
years
and
we
have
about
another
five
years
or
so
left
just
getting
through
constructions.
So
we'll
continue
to
manage
our
existing
treatment
plant
and
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
meet
the
requirements
that
we
have
for
the
next
few
years
and
while
this
project
is
being
built,
so
talking
a
little
bit
about
funding
and
how
can
we
fund
a
project
like
this?
D
We,
we
will
look
at
a
cost
split
for
the
overall
construction
costs.
We
talked
about
the
two
different
plants,
one
being
domestic
and
industrial
and
the
cost
split.
There
is
somewhere
about
45
to
48
percent,
domestic
and
52
to
55
percent
industrial.
That
will
we
have
a
bit
of
a
range
there
and
that
will
narrow
itself
down
as
we
through
the
design
process.
D
We've
also
started
looking
at
different
funding
alternatives
and,
as
you
all
know,
we
have
approached
the
state
for
bonding
a
two-year
process
of
7.5
million
dollars
in
2020
and
7.5
million
dollars
in
2022.
None
of
that
is
guaranteed,
but
that
is
something
that
we've
kind
of
entered
into
the
equation
here.
D
Other
grant
opportunities
is
a
point
source
implementation
grant
up
to
seven
million
dollars
to
cover
costs
related
to
phosphorus
reduction
and
then
the
last
one
is
a
possible
green
project
reserve
grant
of
up
to
a
million
dollars
for
energy
conservation
things
that
we
would
incorporate
at
the
treatment
plant.
So
if
we
were
successful
in
getting
all
of
those
grants,
our
our
cost
to
our
users
would
come
down
from
78
million
down
to
55
million,
and
that
would
be
the
amount
that
we
would
have
to
look
at.
D
Trying
to
fund
council
adopted
a
rate
increase
of
25
percent
in
2018
and
a
7
percent
rate
increase
over
the
next
five
years
through
2023
by
2023
our
rates
for
our
customers.
Our
residents
will
be
$49
a
month
and
when
looking
at
how
that
compares
with
other
communities,
you
can
see
on
the
chart
to
the
left.
The
monthly
water
wastewater
charge
in
2023
will
be
at
49
dollars
per
month
and
comparing
that
that's
more
than
many
other
communities,
those
other
communities
that
we
have
listed
there.
Those
are
all
2018
rates.
D
They
will
likely
have
rate
increases
over
the
next
five
years
as
well.
So
it
will
come
up
some
number
you
can
see
where
we
are
where
Austin
is
that
currently
in
2018,
at
3506,
right
in
the
middle
of
the
pack
and
our
rate
increases
by
2023
would
put
us
up
at
49
dollars
a
month
which
is
going
to
put
us
on
the
high
side
when
comparing
with
other
2018
rates.
D
If
we
are
successful
in
getting
the
grants
that
we
have
listed
there,
we
would
anticipate
that
we
would
need
our
rates
to
be
highlighted
in
yellow
there
at
$48
and
96
cents
to
fund
this
infrastructure
so
based
on
our
current
rate,
increase.
If
we're
successful
in
getting
the
grants,
we're
sitting
pretty
good
with
where
we're
at.
D
Look
to
cut
costs
wherever
we
can
we'll
know
this
summer,
where
we
sit
with
our
first
round
of
bonding
through
the
legislature,
so
that'll
help
us
know
a
little
bit
more
of
how
that
is
coming
through,
and
it's
a
process
that
we
will
continue
to
work
on
over
the
next
18
months.
Again,
all
these.
These
rates
that
we
talked
about
here
are
based
on
these
wastewater
treatment.
Plant
improvements.
Remember
our
sewer
user
fees
go
not
only
toward
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
but
also
all
of
our
collection
system.
D
So
then,
the
last
slide
is
just
pulled
out
word
for
word
from
the
executive
summary
for
the
facility
plan
that
Susan
and
her
group
has
put
together
that
I
wanted
to
include
in
this
presentation
as
well.
So
with
that
turn
it
over
to
the
council
or
the
public,
with
any
questions
that
they
might
have.
Council.
A
A
G
A
Right
think,
your
honor,
thank
you
guys.
That's
an
H
for
coming
I,
suppose
dude
you're
up
in
the
city's
right,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
trip
ahead
of
you,
but
the
weather
should
be
alright.
Thanks
for
coming
down
under
petitions.
In
the
request,
Six's
of
motion
approving
a
four-way
stop
sign
at
tenth
driving
fifth
place.
Southeast
Stephen
yep.
D
This
is
what
we
talked
about
at
the
last
work
session.
We
have
a
temporary
stop
sign
installed
at
fifth
place
in
our
tenth
place
in
fifth
drive
southeast,
and
it
was
recommended
at
the
work
session
to
bring
this
forward
to
change,
to
a
permanent,
stop
sign
at
that
location.
Based
on
the
positive
feedback
that
we've
heard
throughout
summer.
A
H
G
G
D
A
A
I
You
mayor
members,
first
of
all,
the
date
should
be
December
31st
2022,
to
continue
our
3
year
time
horizon
that
we've
had
in
the
past,
so
I'd
like
to
make
that
adjustment
we've
seen
significant
investment
with
construction
of
about
eighteen
point.
Eight
million
with
the
previous
abatement
program
had
positive
comments
from
many
folks
about
that
and
utilizing
different
stories
of
projects
that
move
forward
that
wouldn't
have
been
possible
without
the
abatement
program.
A
council
action
is
requested
to
approve
the
extension
of
the
program
council.
H
H
A
B
Before
you
tonight
is
the
contract
with
flashing
thunder
fireworks
for
the
2020
fireworks
on
the
fourth
of
July.
We
need
to
get
green
or
a
contract
in
place
now,
otherwise
losing
our
spot.
So
we
proposes
$30,000
budget
for
the
2020
fireworks,
which
is
last
in
2019.
It
was
32
grand
for
two
nights.
So
again,
council
is
giving
us
direction
and
just
go
for
one
night.
So
again,
we'd
request,
council
approval
of
the
contract
with
flashing,
thunder
fireworks
and
then
on
the
side
note
Hormel
Foods
did
approve
this
one.
B
A
H
C
Is
an
ordinance
that
we
don't
believe
most
people
are
aware
of,
and
hence
it
as
little
to
no
deterrent
effect
is
also
on
that
we
do
not
generally
enforce
that
is
the
running
of
the
car,
especially
in
our
winter
climates.
To
have
it
warm
up.
A
lot
of
the
cars
now
do
come
with
remote
starts
from
the
factory.
They
don't
actually
have
keys
in
them
to
be
taken
or
driven
off.
So
that's
a
little
bit
antiquated.
The
second
section
is
unlawful
to
leave
a
car
with
a
key
in
it.
Well,
not
wise.
A
H
B
A
H
K
I'm
speaking
on
this,
because
a
lot
of
the
first
part
of
this
ordinance
or
this
resolution
deals
with
the
clerk's
office
and
all
of
the
license
fees,
we
sat
down
and
looked
at
the
each
individual
fee,
some
of
them
we
increased
in
some
of
them.
We
didn't
just
in
that
first
section
of
it
we
kind
of
sat
down
and
looked
at
exactly
how
much
time
it
takes
us
and
how
much
you
know,
expense
goes
into
each
type
of
fee
and
then
another
thing
to
note.
K
We
did
add,
increase
the
administrative
billing
fee,
which
would
be
on
like
the
grass
removal
that
was
50
to
40,
and
we
raised
it
to
60.
It
was
originally
set
23
years
ago
and
hadn't
been
touched
since
then,
so
we
thought
it
was
time
to
maybe
increase
that
a
little
bit.
We
sat
down
to
some
calculations
as
to
what
we
thought
would
be
fair
and
there's
some
other
fees
in
there
that
we
just
go
through
the
for
each
department,
but
a
lot
of
the
other.
Departmental
fees
didn't
change.
K
A
H
A
L
Evening,
mayor
council-
and
this
is
an
annual,
a
resolution
that
we
run
through
the
to
be
effective,
January,
1
2020,
and
this
is
for
temporary
seasonal
positions
that
are
not
covered
by
labor
agreements.
Department
heads
have
weighed
in
and
the
recommendations
are
included
in
this
includes
an
increase
to
the
minimum
wage
would
be
if
effective,
January,
1
2020
and
then
all
the
other
individuals
are
listed
below
and.
H
G
D
Is
the
first
step
in
planning
for
our
2020
Reconstruction
season,
so
we
have
six
projects
identified
there
and
for
the
public
I'll
just
run
through
them
quick.
We
have
tenth
the
Street
North
East
Oakland
place
to
second
Avenue
Northeast
and
also
fourth
Street
Southwest
Oakland
Avenue
to
First
Avenue
Southwest,
we're
continuing
projects
in
the
southwest
quadrant
as
well
with
5th
Street
Southwest
from
1st
Avenue
to
5th
Avenue
6th
Avenue
Southwest
from
4th
Street
to
6th
Street
and
7th
Street
Southwest
from
4th
Avenue
to
5th
Avenue.
D
We've
identified
a
project
on
5th
Avenue
Northeast
from
Oakland
place
to
19th
Street
northeast
we've
also
were
continuing
in
the
northwest
quadrant,
where
we've
been
working
for
the
last
couple
years
on
7th
Street
Northwest
from
8th
Avenue
to
13th
Avenue
and
ninth
Avenue
Northwest
from
4th
Street
to
8th
Street.
Two
other
projects
we
have
included
is
Turtle
Creek
to
the
sanitary
sewer
project,
we'll
put
together
a
feasibility
plan
for
that,
and
also
some
sidewalk
on
4th
Avenue
Northwest
from
12th
Street
to
14th
Street
by
the
athletic
field.
A
B
When
the
last
means
the
council
approved
a
contract
with
seh
to
start
work
on
some
easement
project
with
armory
and
looking
at
that
contract
plus
the.
How
can
I
say
it:
the
slow
reimbursement
by
the
FAA
some
of
our
projects
in
the
past
there's
a
good
chance
that
year
end
we
will
have
negative
cash
in
the
airport
construction
fund.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
I'd
request
council
approve
a
zero
percent
loan
between
the
general
fund
and
the
airport
construction
fund.

is
three
motions:
granting
the
Planning
and
Zoning
Department
of
power
to
contract
for
the
removal
of
junk
and
oil
illegally
stored
vehicles
at
the
following
locations:
8
903,
ninth
Avenue
Southwest,
the
Anderson
property
need
a
motion.
Second,
all
in
favor
of
B

eat
a

as

Am
gonna
go

at
one
time
and
we
can
appoint
them
all
at
once.
If
that's
fine
with
everybody,
you
can
see.

Is
there

aye?
We
are
now
two
citizens
addressing
the
council.
Is
there
anybody
that
wishes
to
address
accounts
on
any
matter
tonight?
Otherwise,
yes,
sir,
why
don't
you
come
on
up
here?
Give
us
your
name
and
your
address
and.
M
B
M
M
I'll
try
to
keep
this
brief
if
I
can
stand
to,
but
I'm
speaking
today.
My
name
is
Alex
Melman
reliability,
engineer
with
Xcel
Energy
I'm
stationed
at
the
wind
farm
O&M
building
in
Dexter
Minnesota
I'm
speaking
today,
in
support
of
revising
section
9.35,
rather
than
repealing
it
during
future
work
sessions
like
we're,
guarding
Jake,
breaking
ordinance
that
we'd
like
to
see
included
as
well
I
propose
that
we
revise
section
9.35
to
uphold
it
and
it's
applicability
towards
Incheon
combustion
vehicles,
while
amending
it
to
permit
piling
of
electric
vehicles.
I
think
it's.
M
It's
definitely
true
that
the
relevance
of
the
section
as
is
today
is
not
necessarily
the
greatest.
We
don't
have
keys
for
our
cars.
Some
of
us
anymore.
You
drive
a
Tesla,
you
don't
even
have
a
key.
Just
have
a
cellphone,
but
I
think
that
it's
important
that
we
honor
the
original
potential
intention
of
the
ordinance
I'm
going
to
read
a
small
section
from
Minneapolis
MN
gov
on
their
anti
idling
vehicle
ordinance
in
Title.
M
Ii
Ordinance
restricts
the
idling
of
cars,
another
gas
for
diesel
powered
vehicles
to
no
more
than
three
minutes
in
a
one
hour
period.
Another
portion
of
the
ordinance
limits,
idling
of
buses,
trucks
and
other
diesel
engine
powered
vehicles
to
no
more
than
five
minutes
in
a
one-hour
period,
exhaust
for
an
idling
car
carries
a
higher
load
of
pollutants
than
a
moving
car.
So
reducing
unnecessary
idling
is
one
easy
way.
M
We
can
all
do
something
to
improve
air
quality,
a
vehicle
motors
releasing
of
the
air
particulate
matter
of
dirt,
nitrous
oxides,
hydrocarbons,
carbon
monoxide
and
carbon
dioxide
and
the
US
Department
of
Energy
states
that
winter
in
January.
You
don't
need
more
than
30
seconds
to
appropriately
warm
up
your
vehicle
most
effective
way
to
do.
It
is
to
just
let
it
warm
up
for
a
little
bit
and
then
drive
it
slowly
to
get
it
up
to
operating
temperature.
So
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
that
clean,
healthy
localized.
M
M
A
F
I
C
An
impossibility
and
impractical
impractical
for
us
to
try
to
time
cars
or
I
I
agree
with
the
intent
of
the
ordinance,
and
in
fact
this
was
written
in
1980,
which
probably
had
something
to
do
with
the
oil
embargos
at
the
time,
but
I
and
but
I
think
again
from
a
practical
standpoint.
It's
not
something
we
enforce
ticket
people
for
it's
very
difficult.
It's
it's!
It's!
C
It's
culturally,
not
where
we're
at
I
agree
with
the
young
man
that
I
think
the
best
way
to
address
it
is
through
trying
to
have
a
culture
change
versus
you
know,
making
it
illegal.
Just
because
again
it's
not
something
that
we
stop.
Try
to
find
owner
of
a
car
write,
a
citation
for,
as
is,
and
like
you
said
they
have,
it,
be
a
three-minute,
a
five-minute.
C
You
know
something
of
that
nature
be
very
difficult
for
us
to
to
enforce
going
forward,
but
I
do
understand
the
young
man's
perspective
on
the
issue
and
appreciate
having
him
say
that,
certainly
if
the
Consul
would
like
to
redress
it
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
we
can
look
at
it.
I
just
know
that
there
is
not.
You
know,
as
we
looked
at
this,
this
is
a
municipal
decision.
A
G
Don't
we
take
this
idea
to
the
sustainability
task
force
and
look
at
it
for
more
of
an
encouraging?
Maybe
the
city
can
make
a
policy
for
city
vehicles
that
they
not
idle
for
more
than
a
certain
amount
of
time.
Maybe
we
can
do
something
along
those
lines.
I
agree,
I,
don't
think
the
is
an
illegal
act
is
really
the
path
we
want
to
go
down,
but
that
doesn't
mean
it
needs
to
die.
It
seems
to
me
it
would
fit.
The
best
was
the
same
Institute
of
sustainability.
That's
first.
It.
A
Do
I
think
we
should
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
we
go
through
that,
but
I
mean
maybe
we
should
get
more
information
like
Laura,
says
and
just
see
what
it
isn't
and
look
at
it.
Maybe
for
city
vehicles,
it's
something
in
the
future.
Can
you
get
your
information,
the
de
Varenne
and
then
we'll
contact
you
and
just
talk
about
it?
A
little
bit
more
I.
Don't
think
we're
gonna
redo
anything
tonight,
but
you
know
maybe
that's
something
we
could
look
at
as
we
as
we
go
through
our
stuff.
Okay,
thank.
A
J
A
H
A
They're
going
to
the
Horn
of
Africa,
which
isn't
exactly
a
paradise
spot
so
and
they're
mostly
they're,
not
it's
a
feral.
You
know
we
swapped
units
without
fear
of
also
you
know.
A
lot
of
them
are
local,
but
they're
they're
local
as
long
as
they're
stationed
here,
and
that
could
be
it.
You
know
we
don't
know
how
long
quite
a
while,
though
but
yeah
and
as
far
as
Yellow
River,
and
they
may
need
services
or
whatever,
but
we're
kind
of
excited.
It's
a
good
group
glad
we
got
to
go
out
there
and
talk
John
great.
I
Had
notice
from
the
nestled
rural
design
lab,
which
is
a
joint
architecture
and
landscape
architecture,
graduate
design
studio
that
will
be
held
at
the
artwork
center?
It's
basically,
they
looked
at
various
areas
throughout
the
community
of
which
which
could
benefit
from
a
different
perspective.
So
they
focused
on
Austin
and
different
areas
in
the
community
and
have
their
presentations
that
they'll
be
discussing.
That
event
goes
open
house
from
4:30
to
7:00
on
December
9th
there'll,
be
a
short
presentation
at
5:30
they're
asking
for
RSVPs
for
the
event
by
December
5th.
I
So
if
you
could
do
that
for
the
December
9th
meeting
that
they'll
be
having
an
open
house
from
4:30
to
7,
you
can
contact
me
or
Holly
Wallace
in
our
office
and
then
for
those
folks.
We
ask
that
they
be
mindful
of
our
snow
emergency.
Our
last
snow
emergency
I
think
there
were
60
to
70
tickets
handed
out
to
folks,
but
we'd
asked
folks
to
comply
with
a
snow
emergency
as
they're
parking
out
on
their
city,
streets,
Jeffrey.
