Description
City of Austin, Minnesota
A

F
First
of
all,
can
everyone
see
my
screen?
Yes,
okay,
this
project
is
located
on
the
south
side
of
todd
park
between
14th
street
northeast
and
8th
drive
or
11th
street
northeast
near
the
railroad
tracks
there.
So
it's
about
a
1600
foot,
long
project
and
here
are
some
pictures
of
the
existing
conditions
out
there.
F
F
F
The
railroad
has
a
lot
of
processes
that
are
time
consuming
to
work
with.
As
far
as
permitting
and
approvals
things
like
that,
and
it's
just
not
moving
forward
quite
fast
enough.
So
we
will
likely
be
looking
to
delay
that
portion
of
the
work
until
2023
and
then,
when
all
the
work's
done,
we
would
restore
the
grass
on
either
side
of
the
road
as
far
as
underground
work
that
we
plan
to
do
on
this
project.
F
So
here's
kind
of
a
overall
layout
of
the
proposed
road
you
can
see
the
existing
median
in
the
aerial
photo
and
then
with
our
new
road
laid
over
top
of
that
so
there'd
be
no
median
and
then
the
curve
on
the
west
end
of
the
project
where
we
would
square
up
with
the
county
road
and
create
nicer
sight
lines
for
vehicles.
Turning
left
or
right,
as
well
as
nicer
turning
movements
for
vehicles
making
those
turns.
F
F
F
So
we
will
either
be
doing
temporary,
gravel
or
or
not
removing
that
portion
of
the
old
road
for
as
long
as
possible,
something
to
that
effect
to
keep
access
open
as
much
as
possible
and
then
the
todd
park,
access
on
11th
street
northeast
will
be
open
at
all
times,
so
there
will
always
be
access
to
todd
park.
It
just
may
not
be
the
route
that
people
are
used
to
going
on
14th
street.
F
F
So
our
estimated
project
cost
is
1.4
million
and
1.3
million
of
those
are
estimated
as
street
improvements
with
100
000
of
those
dollars
due
to
storms.
Through
improvements
and
like
I
said
before,
this
project
is
funded
by
assessments,
municipal
state
street
fund
and
federal
funds.
So
we
have
a
federal,
I
believe
it's
400
thousand
dollars
of
federal
funding
on
this
project
and
with
that
there
are
a
lot
of
documentation
and
requirements
that
we
need
to
follow
in
order
to
spend
those
funds,
and
one
of
which
is
the
removal
of
those
trees.
F
We
have
to
do
an
environmental
evaluation
and
an
endangered
species
evaluation,
and
that
stated
that
there's
the
potential
for
a
certain
species
of
bat
that
could
be
nesting
in
those
trees,
so
they
need
to
be
removed
before
the
end
of
march
before
construction,
just
so
they
don't
start
nesting
in
there
and
then
we
come
in
in
the
summer
and
remove
those
trees.
So
that's
why
those
trees
are
down
already
and
plus
a
bunch
of
other
federal
documentation
requirements
on
this
project.
F
And
finally,
the
total
projected
assessment
revenue
for
the
project
is
around
111
000
and
the
way
we
establish
those
assessments
is
based
on
the
assessment
rates
the
council
approved
in
early
january
of
this
year.
So
this
is
a
commercial
street
and
it
is
all
commercial
properties
on
this
project,
so
the
assessment
rate
is
80
and
22
cents
per
linear
foot,
and
we
also
will
be
assessing
for
curving
gutter,
because
there's
no
curb
and
gutter
out
there.
F
F
F
You
can
pay
at
least
50
percent
of
the
amount
by
october
28th
without
interest,
and
then
the
remainder
would
be
added
to
your
property
taxes
over
a
15-year
period
with
that
with
a
3.75
interest
rate,
and
then
the
third
option
would
to
not
pay
anything
by
october
28th
and
the
entire
balance
we
put
on
your
property
taxes
over
a
15-year
period
with
that
same
3.75
interest
rate,
and
we
do
have
a
financial
assistance
policy
which
which
doesn't
apply
to
this
project.
But
it
applies
to
the
others.
F
F
We
also
do
periodic
updates
on
our
city
of
austin
facebook
page
and,
if
there's
anything,
really
important,
that
we
want
residents
to
know
like
the
day,
we're
gonna
start
a
project
or
anything
any
other
important
updates,
we'll
hand
out
flyers
door-to-door
to
ensure
that
everyone
receives
the
information,
and
that
is
all
I
have
for
this
project.
If
they're
opening
up
to
questions
from
the
council
or
public.
A
H
I
own
shamble
electric
at
1200,
21st
avenue,
so
I
talked
to
mitch.
She
said
the
assessment's
going
to
be
around
32
000,
which
I
understand
the
total
cost.
My
question
is
the
fairness
of
the
assessment
based
on
the
wear
and
tear
that's
taking
place
on
that
roadway.
We
don't
feel
that
we're
responsible
for
the
undue,
wear
and
tear.
H
I
understand
you
have
to
assess
normal,
wear
and
tear.
I
don't
think
it's
a
fair
assessment
and
I
sent
an
email
with
a
list
of
questions
that
I
had
most
of
the
damage
that
I
see
is
based
on
the
semi
truck
traffic.
That's
going
past
there
for
hormel
and
international
paper
and
for
our
business
we
have
a
one-ton
truck,
but
we're
not
doing
that
damage.
F
A
Yeah,
I
know
it's
probably
gonna,
give
you
a
good
answer,
kevin
for
your
32
000
bill,
but
it
has
a
1.4
million
dollar
project
and
the
city
does
take
care
of,
or
the
federal
government
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
those
costs.
It's
we
try
to
be
as
fair
as
we
can
to
our
businesses
and
our
residents
from
these
street
projects.
H
I
Yeah,
so
that
road
is
50
years
old,
it
was
constructed
in
the
early
70s.
We
guarantee
that
our
roads
will
last
35
years
and
then
through
regular
maintenance.
We
we
gain
additional
life
beyond
that
30
years,
so
a
50-year
life
on
a
commercial
road
such
as
this
is,
is
really
a
pretty
good
life
span
for
that
that
age
of
concrete.
A
A
F
Okay,
so
again,
knight
street
and
10th
street
northwest
street
reconstruction
project
we've
kind
of
been
working
our
way
west
through
this
neighborhood
over
the
last
several
years.
Here's
the
next
continuation
of
that
so
knight
street.
We
plan
to
reconstruct
from
10th
avenue
to
12th
avenue
and
then
10th
street
would
be
from
8th
avenue
to
13th
avenue.
F
I've
got
a
few
photos
here
of
the
existing
conditions.
You
can
see
this
pavement's
really
deteriorated
cracked
up
in
soft
spots.
In
quite
a
few
places
we
have
a
lot
of
potholes
and
patching
have
taken
place
by
our
street
crews
over
the
years
again,
more
more
potholes
and
cracks
and
worn
out
pavement
again.
Another
example
of
extensive,
extensive
patching
that
has
been
done.
F
What
we
plan
to
do
on
this
project
is
remove
the
existing
turbine
gutter
and
asphalt
pavement.
Currently,
both
streets
are
30
feet
wide.
We
would
plan
on
widening
both
of
them
to
34
feet
wide.
So
when
we
do
that,
we
kind
of
split
the
difference
on
each
side
and
approximately
two
feet
would
go
on
the
east
side
and
two
feet
would
be
widened
on
the
west
side.
F
We'll
put
new,
curb
and
gutter
in
new
asphalt
pavement,
we
will
also
remove
and
replace
deficient
sidewalk
panels
things.
What
we're
looking
for.
There
are
things
like
cracks,
sidewalk
joints
that
have
heaved
up
creating
trip
hazards
and
any
other
deficiencies,
and
then
we
also
install
ada
compliant
pedestrian
ramps
to
make
those
sidewalks
accessible
for
those
with
disabilities.
F
And
then,
when
we're
all
done,
we
will
put
sod
back
on
the
boulevards
and
get
grass
in
there
again.
As
far
as
underground
work.
We
do
have
some
storm
sewer
work
with
manholes
and
catch
basins
and
then
we'll
also
be
replacing
all
of
these
sanitary
sewer
manholes
throughout
the
project
and
then
again.
K
G
F
J
F
J
F
F
D
A
I
Yep,
like
mr
austin
said,
commercial
rate
is
80
and
22
cents
per
foot.
Residential
rate
is
56
dollars
and
18
cents
per
foot
and
on
this
project
mitch
gave
those
numbers
but
we're
assessing
about
31
percent
of
the
street
related
costs
to
the
adjacent
property
owners.
The
city,
through
our
tax
levy,
is
taking
care
of
the
remaining
69
percent
of
the
cost.
A
J
C
A
A
F
A
lot
of
the
same
improvements
as
the
9th
and
10th
street
project,
where
we'll
take
out
the
existing
urban
gutter
and
asphalt
pavement
and
put
in
new.
We
do
not
need
to
widen
3rd
avenue
northeast
at
all.
It's
it's
currently
36
feet
wide
and
it
will
remain
36
feet
wide,
but
we
will
do
the
same.
Sidewalk
panel
replacement
pattern,
replacement,
boulevard
replacement.
F
The
big
difference
here
is:
we
do
have
quite
a
bit
of
underground
utility
work.
We
have
a
lot
of
storm
sewer
that
we
will
be
replacing
nearly
16th
avenue.
Excuse
me,
16th
street
and
third
avenue
intersection,
trying
to
improve
the
drainage
there
currently
there's
quite
a
bit
of
flooding
during
heavy
rain
events.
We
hope
to
improve
somewhere,
maybe
not
completely
due
to
we're
kind
of
restricted
by
the
outlet
that
goes
to
eastside
lake
under
oakland
place.
F
F
As
long
as
there
isn't
any
other
construction
activity
in
the
way,
because
there
is
limited
off
street
parking
in
this
area
for
residents,
so
we're
trying
to
do
the
best
we
can
and
make
things
go
as
quickly
as
possible.
There
again
the
same
project
impacts
as
9th
and
10th
street
parking
on
adjacent
streets,
removing
vehicles
from
garages
handicapped
parking
access.
All
that.
A
A
M
A
F
F
This
project
is
similar
to
third
avenue
where
the
roadway
is
already
36
feet.
36
feet
wide,
so
we
do
not
plan
on
widening
the
road
at
all,
we'll
be
making
the
same.
Pavement
replacement,
taking
out
the
existing
asphalt,
putting
in
new
and
gutter
asphalt,
pavement
and
fixing
deficient
sidewalks
and
upgrading
ped
ramps
to
ada
compliance
and
then,
as
far
as
underground
work,
there's
really
very
little
on
this
project.
F
F
F
A
N
Hi
there,
council
and
mayor
steve,
my
name
is
marion
clennan.
I
live
at
1711
third
street
northeast
in
austin.
Originally
I
wasn't
going
to
come.
I
thought
oh,
this
is
just
you
know
the
street
project
and
it's
not
a
whole
lot.
You
can
say
about
it
and
then
I
was
home
yesterday
and
heard
two
semis
go
by
again
and
I've
brought
this
up
to
the
city
engineers
office
a
few
times.
N
Sometimes
there
may
be
four
or
five
in
a
week.
Sometimes
there
may
be
only
two,
but
our
neighborhood
is
kind
of
locked
in
and
there's
only
one
way
in
and
one
way
out
we're
strictly
a
residential
neighborhood,
except
for
our
neighbors
to
the
east,
the
corporate
office,
and
but
we
have
this
off
again
on
again
semi
truck
traffic
and
we're
not
a
through
street,
so
there
shouldn't
be
semis
driving
through
our
neighborhood
weekly
and
I've
asked
for
signs
to
be
put
in
the
neighborhood.
N
That
says,
you
know
it
has
a
truck
and
the
the
line
through
it,
so
truck
traffic
isn't
allowed
in
that
neighborhood,
but
they're
allowed
in
our
neighborhood
and
we're
still
residential
the
same
as
that
neighborhood
is
so.
I
I'm
opposed
to
paying
the
full
price
if
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
this
truck
traffic
in
our
neighborhood
or
put
up
a
sign
that
says
no
trucks.
A
Thank
you
marion.
My
initial
response,
I
guess,
would
be
without
I'll,
let
mr
langer
or
mr
wenham
speak
to.
But
again
when
you
I
ask
that
question
about
who
pays.
You
know.
30
roughly
goes
to
the
resident
and
70
percent
go
to
other
sources,
so
I
I
think
in
in
the
end
you
aren't
paying
for
the
full
price
of
the
street.
You
are
paying
a
portion,
no
doubt,
but
that's
just
my
initial
response.
Mr
lang,
do
you
have
anything
on
the
truck
traffic.
I
I
M
I'll
respond
to
that
too.
I
live
in
that
neighborhood
and
I
I've
been
there
20
years
and
I
I've
really
I've
seen
maybe
once
or
twice
where
there's
been
a
truck
in
there
and
it
has
been
because
they're
lost,
they've
missed
a
turn
or
something,
and
I
can
guarantee
you
that
the
truck
driver
drivers
hate
entering
our
neighborhood
because
it's
it's
hard
to
get
out.
So
you
know
I
don't.
I
don't
think
that
it's,
it's
really
a
big
issue
enough
to
warrant
a
reduction
in
in
the
cost.
M
M
N
And
you
know
the
the
sign
that
is
up
there.
That
says
no
access.
I
don't
know
how
many
people
see
that
I
mean
that
intersection
is
another
another
thing
I
don't
know
how
many
people
I've
had.
You
know
pull
in
front
of
me
as
I'm
trying
to
turn
into
our
neighborhood,
but
I
don't
see
that
sign
that
says
no
outlet,
so
how
many
other
people
see
that.
N
A
F
F
So
this
project,
some
of
the
existing
conditions,
aren't
as
bad
as
as
some
of
these
other
projects
really.
The
pavement
deterioration
is
in
that
top
layer
of
asphalt,
and
we
also
have
some
patching
that
was
done
as
the
city
constructed
drain
tile
in
these
neighborhoods
in
the
past
couple
years.
The
drain
tile
there's
a
lot
of
sump
pumps
and
these
sump
pumps
run
very
frequently,
so
we
needed
to
find
an
outlet
for
that
water,
and
so
the
city
constructed
drain
tile
and
that's
what
the
patches
are
for.
F
So
this
modern
overlay
project
will
address
that,
and
this
is
fifth
avenue
again
the
same
thing:
a
lot
of
drainage
issues
and
wet
basements
in
this
area.
So
the
city,
I
believe
it
was
last
summer,
constructed
drain
tile
down
each
side
of
the
road
with
the
sump
pump
service
connections
for
people
to
hook
their
sump
pumps
into
so
we'll
take
care
of
those
patches
with
this
paving
project.
F
So
and
they're
the
16th
street
and
the
fifth
avenue
both
are
slightly
different
in
the
work
that
will
be
going
on
there.
So
on
16th
street
is
a
little
more
straightforward,
where
we're
just
going
to
mill
off
with
a
big
machine
like
this,
the
top
inch
and
a
half
of
pavement
and
then
shortly
thereafter,
either
the
next
day
or
within
the
next
week,
or
so.
F
F
We'll
do
a
first
lift
on
the
west
end
where
we
took
the
full
depth
out
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
pave
an
inch
and
a
half
across
the
entire
street
and
there's
no
underground
work
plant
or
plant
on
either
of
these
streets.
Like
I
said
before,
it
was
all
taken.
Care
of
the
drain
tower
was
taken
care
of
in
the
past
couple
of
years
by
the
city
I
did.
F
F
Both
these
streets
will
take
place
sometime
in
mid-june,
after
school
is
let
out
for
the
year,
and
we
expect
them
to
be
completed
over
a
two
to
three
week
period,
we'll
kind
of
give
the
contractor
a
window
of
time
to
come
in.
You
know
you
have
to
start
between
such
and
a
date
and
be
finished
with
everything
by
another
day,
but
the
work
shouldn't
take
that
long
a
day
or
so
for
paid
for
milling
and
then
another
day
or
two
for
paving
and
then
there's
some
concrete
work
in
between
there.
F
And
then
the
benefits
of
a
project
like
this
we're
improving
the
ride,
we're
improving
the
drainage,
makes
the
streets
look
nicer
without
the
patches
and
surface
deterioration.
It
also
decreases
our
maintenance
costs
to
our
city
crews.
You
know
it
takes
us
time
and
money
to
patch
in
those
those
bad
areas
where
we
get
a
mill
and
overlay
done,
it
should
be
maintenance
free
for
a
while.
F
And
we
estimate
this
project
to
be
about
125
000,
funded
by
assessments
in
our
local
street
fund,
and
we
anticipate
about
42
000
of
assessment
revenue
and
the
assessment
rates
are
a
little
different
for
a
mill
and
overlay
project.
It's
based
on
the
frontage
of
your
property,
but
we
assess
6.35
per
inch
of
asphalt
per
foot.
F
So,
if
we're
doing
an
inch
and
a
half
mil
an
overlay,
we
take
the
635
times
our
inch
and
a
half
times
your
frontage,
which
in
this
example
is
75
feet
will
give
us
about
715,
and
then
we
still
have
that
same
corner
lot.
Policy,
where
we
take
the
average
of
the
two
sides.
If
you
live
on
a
corner
lot
and
we
have
the
same
assessment
payment
options
as
all
of
the
other
projects
and
we
provide
the
same
updates
as
every
other
project
as
well.
Any
questions.
A
O
O
O
So
we
don't
get
as
much
from
the
park
as
we
used
to
get,
but
we
still
get
a
lot
of
water
and
I'm
wondering
on
the
corner
of
27th
and
5th
where
the
water
comes
around
the
corner.
If
there
would
be
a
storm
drain
put
in
there
when
you
do
the
work
there,
that
would
help
take
some
of
the
water
so
that
when
we
get
heavy
rain,
it's
as
as
heavy
as
high
as
the
curb
curb
to
curb
across
the
street,
and
then
it
backs
up
at
the
end
of
the
road.
The
work.
O
That's
been
done
there
last
year.
We
hope
will
alleviate
some
of
that,
but
with
the
rain
some
that
we
had
this
fall.
Although
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
different
rains,
we
did
have
some
and
the
water's
still
backing
up.
So
our
concerns
are
if
there
would
be
a
storm
drain
put
there
somewhere.
That
would
help
alleviate
that
wash.
I
We
we
did
consider
that
looked
looked
at
the
cost
of
extent.
Well,
shirley
theo
park
is
kind
of
on
the
top
of
a
hill,
so
we
let
that
water
run
for
a
certain
distance
before
we
start
to
pick
it
up
into
storm
drains
the
intersection
you
mentioned.
We
looked
at
running
storm
sewer
to
that
intersection.
I
It
would
have
required
us
to
excavate
and
remove
more
of
the
existing
asphalt
pavement
that
we
looked
at
and
said.
Well,
it's
in
relatively
good
condition.
We
looked
at
the
cost
of
the
storm
sewer
and
decided
now
wasn't
was
not
the
time
to
make
that
full-blown
reconstruction
and
extension
of
storm
sewer.
It
may
come
later
many
years
down
the
road,
but
right
now
we
looked
at
this
was
kind
of
the
right
fit
the
right
project
for
the
area
without
making
it
too
extensive
and
too
costly.
A
J
A
F
F
Originally
we
did
have
it
23rd
street,
extending
all
the
way
down
to
9th
avenue,
but
once
we
got
into
our
design,
we
were
doing
some
evaluation
there
and
determined
that
the
work
that
we
would
need
to
do
on
this
section
of
roadway
is
a
little
more
extensive
than
we
planned
to
do
on
this
project.
So
we
we
actually
eliminated
this
one
block
between
8th
avenue
and
9th
avenue
from
the
project.
F
Just
so
everyone
understands
that
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments
about
that
I'll
take
those
and
then
7th
avenue
kind
of
turns
into
23rd
street
over
here
and
we
have
11th
avenue.
It
extends
just
beyond
18th
street,
and
we
do
have
a
small
about
200
foot
section
that
goes
down
19th
street
as
well.
F
F
F
And
so
once
this
machine
goes
by
and
get
everything
graded
and
compacted
vehicles
can
drive
on
it
again
and
a
certain
period
of
time,
we'll
go.
Go
by
a
contractor
is
looking
for
certain
moisture
content
in
that
recycled
layer
and
we'll
come
back
and
put
a
new
four
inch
layer
of
asphalt
on
top
of
that,
and
we
do
not
have
any
underground
utility
work
plan
on
this
project
either.
F
So
again,
the
schedule
is
similar
to
the
known
overlay
project,
where
we
expect
to
start
in
late
june
after
school's
out
and
expect
the
project
to
be
completed
over
a
couple
week.
Period
weather
permitting
and
there
will
be
access
to
driveways
during
the
project,
except
during
those
processes
of
reclaiming
and
paving.
F
And
there's
a
lot
of
the
same
benefits,
but
one
additional
thing
to
note
would
be:
this
is
a
really
cost
effective
repair
and
it's
environmentally
friendly,
because
it's
using
all
that
existing
material
and
building
it
back
into
the
same
road,
so
you're
not
pulling
material
away
and
using
you
know
gas
and
time
and
other
materials
brought
in
to
replace
it.
So
it's
a
environmentally
friendly
solution
and
the
estimated
cost
for
this
project
is
250
000
and
we
expect
to
generate
just
under
100
000
of
assessment
revenue.
F
Again,
we
have
the
the
same
mill
and
overlay
assessment
rate
for
this
project.
The
exception
here
is:
we
have
four
inches
of
new
asphalt
that
will
be
paved
so
about
six
dollars
and
35
cents.
Assessment
rate
is
multiplied
by
four
inches
and
then
by
your
lot,
frontage
and
we
do
provide
the
same
corner
lot.
Policy
for
those
who
live
on
corner
lots
and
we
do
have
the
same
payment
options.
I
We
could
see
some
delays
on
our
projects
with
that
also
we're
expecting
some
increased
costs,
mainly
due
to
the
cost
of
oil
and
how
that
relates
to
fuel
asphalt.
All
of
our
roadways
that
have
asphalt
pavement
on
them,
we're
anticipating
to
see
an
increase
from
last
year
on
that
and
then
the
the
labor
issue.
We
we've
seen
some
labor
issues
last
year,
seen
some
crews
that
got.
I
I
So
mitch
has
done
a
good
job
with
laying
out
all
these
projects
looking
to
get
started
as
early
as
possible,
but
there
are
just
some
things
outside
of
our
control
that
that
always
like
weather,
we
always
say
weather,
but
there
are
other
factors
now,
even
on
top
of
whether
that
can
impact
our
projects,
whether
it
be
cost
or
schedule.
Thank
you.
M
F
F
What
reclaiming
is
good
at
is
roadways
that
you
know
we
don't
have
any
underground
utility
improvements
that
need
to
be
done
and
there's
a
lot
of
cracked
pavement.
What
that
what
it
does,
is
it
pulverizes
everything
so
there's
no
more
existing
cracks
that
can
show
through
where,
if
you
do
that
on
mill
and
overlay
project,
those
cracks
will
show
through
in
a
couple
years,
when
you,
when
you
reclaim
it,
it
gets
rid
of
all
those
cracks.
You
kind
of
start
fresh.
F
The
reclaimed
material
provides
a
good
base
to
pave.
On
top
of
the
challenging
thing,
like
I
said
before,
is
you
to
underground
utility
work?
A
lot
of
these
projects
were
doing
sanitary
sewer,
storm
sewer,
water,
main
upgrades,
as
well
as
curb
and
gutter.
So,
in
those
cases
it
it's
just
really
not
feasible
to
do
a
reclamation,
but
you
know
we
may
get
to
the
point
on
on
some
projects,
not
all
that
we're
always
gonna
have
reconstruction,
but
we
will
be.
A
A
B
A
K
I'm
sorry
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
regarding
this
park.
Honor
guard
spark
is
the
corner
of
eighth
and
eighth,
just
south
of
the
hormone
plant
until
the
1990s.
It
was
known
as
american
legion
park,
but
due
to
some
infrastructure
changes
and
street
changes,
my
understanding
is
that
it
became
barren.
There
was
no
longer
anything
there
so
spruce
up
at
that
time
jumped
in
and
did
a
lot
to
it
and
renamed
it.
Honor
guard
spark
with
that
assistance
of
a
lot
of
different
organizations
in
town,
and
now
it's
in
need
of
work
again.
K
A
J
J
A
I
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
that
is
whks,
not
wsb
when
we
make
this
motion,
but
for
this
project
we
in
2020,
we
didn't
do
any
sump
pump
inspections
and
we
got
one
year
behind
on
that
portion
of
our
ini
program.
So
last
year
in
2021
we
completed
all
of
our
other
work
in
the
northeast
quadrant,
as
it
relates
to
manhole
inspections
and
evaluating
our
system.
Our
last
item
now
to
complete
the
northeast
quadrant,
is
to
follow
up
with
our
sump
pump
inspection
program.
I
We
have
about
1900
homes
in
this
area,
and
whks
has
estimated
a
cost
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
two
hundred
eighty
dollars
to
complete
this
work,
and
we
would
recommend
this
would
be
now
our.
What
are
we
on
our
fifth
year
of
doing
this?
I
believe-
and
we
have
a
few
more
areas
to
do,
but
we
would
recommend
continuing
this
work
with
whks.
A
C
B
A
You
tom,
over
the
years
I
like
other
council
folks,
have
gotten
probably
some
calls
on
this
sump
pump
program,
and
I
had
the
best
offense
of
that.
I
would
also
be
a
loser
in
this
program
that
I
now
officially
have
a
sump
pump
installed
in
my
basement
that
will
never
ever
ever
ever
go
off
but
happy
to
support
the
city
and
their
projects.
A
A
I
Thank
you
for
your
support
of
the
program
mayor,
appreciate
it
on
the
airport
zoning
grant.
We
we
upgraded
our
airport
in
the
mid-2000s,
extending
the
runway,
approximately
a
thousand
feet,
and
we
started
at
that
time
to
update
our
zoning
as
well
to
accommodate
that
new
length.
Our
our
old
zoning
goes
back
to
1977
approximately,
and
our
airport
has
made
multiple
changes
since
then.
So
we
need
to
pick
that
back
up
and
complete
the
zoning
around
the
airport
to
protect
our
our
infrastructure
and
our
investment
that
we
have
there.
I
So
this
project,
which
is
funded
66
excuse
me.
Seventy
percent
by
the
state
and
thirty
percent
locally
we'd
be
looking
at
almost
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
investment
on
the
local
portion.
With
thirty
four
thousand
coming
from
this
state
grant,
we
would
recommend
council
move
this
grant
forward,
so
we
can
begin
this
project.
A
B
A
I
This
will
be
our
third
rescue
grant.
They
were
all
a
little
bit
different
in
in
dollar
amounts.
This
one
is
in
the
amount
of
32
000
and
it
will
go
toward
our
normal
maintenance
and
operation
procedures
that
we
have
at
the
airport.
We
will
continue
to
utilize
our
51
000
of
state
grant
first
and
then
any
additional
expenditures
that
we
have.
I
We
would
then
apply
toward
this
this
grant,
and
this
grant
is
good
until
september
of
2024,
so
we
have
some
time
to
to
pick
away
at
it
and
we
have
some
different
other
eligibility
requirements
listed
there
and
again.
This
is
a
federal
grant
coming
through
the
the
different
rescue
and
different
cares
acts
and
things
that
we've
gotten
through
the
federal
government.
J
C
A
L
L
A
A
On
dive
number
17
is
a
resolution
accepting
donations
of
the
city,
and
there
are
several
with
regard
to
the
library.
So
I
just
wanted
to
first
read
off:
I'm
not
going
to
read
off
all
the
names.
I
think
people.
The
intention
is
to
give
them
in
the
memory
of
someone
who
either
passed
away
or
in
honor
of
someone's
still
alive.
But
these
are.
A
A
There
was
five
thousand
dollar
gift
from
the
eagles
to
the
disc
golf
fund
and
a
memorial
for
mabel
gentlemen
495
dollars,
so
the
total
gift
of
the
library
for
all
those
folks,
honoring
people
or
giving
general
expense
was
99
120
dollars.
So
with
that
council
I'd
certainly
entertain
a
resolution
to
approve
those
donations.
The
library
I
moved
is
there
a
second.
M
B
A
L
Thank
you
mayor.
We
met
with
seh,
who
was
our
engineer
on
the
wastewater
treatment
project.
Men
city
of
mankato
bid
out
a
wastewater
project
at
their
city.
They
anticipated
being
40
million
dollars,
came
in
at
60
million
dollars,
so
the
inflationary
cost
increase
are
real
and
a
concern
for
us
as
we
look
towards
our
plant
here
in
austin.
As
a
result,
we're
asking
senator
dornick
and
representative
mueller
to
increase
our
request
to
20
million
dollars
from
the
14.5.
L
I
I
But
what
I
need
to
do
is
know
who
I
can
contact
that
that
knows,
that
answer
and
joe
has
always
been
one
of
those
guys.
He
he's
a
he's
been
a
great
employee,
he's
been
a
great
co,
co-worker
and
friend,
and
I've
I've
relied
on
joe
in
many
instances
to
to
talk
about.
You
know
how:
how
was
this
done
in
the
past
or
or
you
know?
I
What
do
you
know
about
this
or
that
and
he's
he's
always
been
a
great
resource,
so
he's
going
to
be
a
huge
loss
for
us,
but
we're
we've
promoted
tony
martin
to
into
his
position.
Tony
will
do
a
great
job
and
we're
in
the
process
now
of
filling
tony's
position,
so
just
wanted
to
recognize
joe
for
his
37
years
with
the
city
and
his
dedication
that
he's
had
so
thanks
joe.
G
G
B
Thank
you
and
I'll
throw
that
motion
on
joe
joe
anytime.
You
needed
something
done,
you
asked
joe,
and
it
got
done.
You
didn't
have
to
worry
about
it
so,
but
we
are
also
having
a
retirement.
Joyce's,
favorite,
I.t
director
don
tomlinson's
last
day
here
will
be
the
28th
of
february.
He's
actually
worked,
he's
get
taking
vacation
till
the
end
of
march
and
that's
his
official
retirement
date.
B
Don
was
our
first
it
director
we've
ever
had
we
when
we
had
internet
installed,
we
contracted
out
the
place
in
rochester,
had
come
once
a
week
to
fix
our
stuff,
but
don
again
21
years
same
type
of
attitude.
You
need
something
done,
donald
take
care
of
it.
You
don't
really
have
to
ask
him
a
second
time
to
do
it,
so
we're
fortunate
that
in
his
term
here
we
never
got
attacked
with
ransomware
or
anything
like
that,
and
the
systems
kept
running.
B
A
Excellent
yeah,
two
excellent
employees,
great
losses
to
the
city.
No
doubt
we
wish
them
well
in
their
retirement.
Just
as
I
get
thinking
here,
I
wonder
if
we,
I
don't
know
the
history
of
why
we
do
the
recognition
in
december
or
january.
I
wonder
if
it'd
be
more
meaningful
to
the
retiring
employee,
to
have
it
more
current
and
as
we
as
we
come
around
these
things,
you
know
right
rather
than
waiting
10
months
to
honor
joe,
and
these
are
some
great
words
that
were
just
said.
A
I
think
we
need
to
be
a
little
more
timely
on
that.
Just
so
we
don't
lose
them.
You
know,
maybe
they
go
winter
winter
away
after
their
retirement,
for
whatever
the
reason
is,
but
I
would
certainly
just
like
the
council
to
think
about
just
having
that
one
more
timely
as
these
retirements
pop
up
that
we
do
them
kind
of
in
real
time.

Just
a
bit
of
an
update
from
discover
austin,
you
may
remember.
In
the
last
budget
we
approved
some
recovery
monies
to
go
towards
a
new
position,
pleased
to
report
that
sarah
wilson
started
that
position
this
month
and
has
already
hit
the
ground
running
with
lots
of
ideas
and
contacts
to
bring
new
groups
and
things
to
town
so
excited
to
see
how
that
blossoms
over
the
next
years.
M
Congratulations
to
our
retirees
and
even
even
don.
I
will
put
that
out
there.
I'm
gonna
have
to
find
somebody
else
to
pick
on
and
also
to
kevin
nelson.
I
wish
you
the
best
in
your
new
adventure
in
south
dakota,
and
it's
been
just
a
really
great
pleasure
working
with
you.
The
last
almost
three
years
save
the
date
for
the
first
fourth
avenue
fest
coming
up
in
june.
I
know
that
seems
far
away,
but
it's
actually
not
so
that's
on
june,
8th
and
then
the
austin
area,
arts
is
planning
an
equity
conversation.
M
A
Thank
you,
joyce
yeah
also
kevin.
Congratulations
on
your
new
job
out
in
was
it
not
chamberlain,
south
dakota,
mitchell,
orton
palace?
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
service
here
and
good
luck
on
your
last
day
is
march
4th,
I
recall
also
to
stephen
and
his
crew.
You
know
these
assessments
get
real
difficult.
A
lot
of
people
disagree
with
how
the
process
works
and
paying
their
their
share,
but
no
matter
what
question
or
concerns
gets
addressed.
The
street
department
and
the
engineering
department
always
comes
comes
through
with
these
answers.
