City - Regular Meeting

Stand for the pledge. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, roll call. Everybody's here. Um, at this time we'll do the public comment. Anybody wishing to come up and do public comment, you have three minutes. Please state your name and address. And you're welcome to do that at this time. We are drawing straws. Go first.

Okay. This might be a little awkward. So, first of all, um, oh, Amy Grinsteiner, 11279 Hubert Lane. First of all, Ashley, thank you for moving and all of you voting to move the public comments to this time. So much easier to be able to show up and talk. I have to get right back to work, but it was nice to be able to be here. Um, I wanted to just talk about two things. And because I know you're the voting members that will vote on the moratorum and the IUPs for short-term rentals, I know the commissioners will make the recommendations, but it's you who votes. So, I want to keep talking to you. Um, I'd like to show the video from the May 2025 meeting. I know a few of you watched it when I sent it over email. I don't think all of you have due to technical difficulties today. Bobby wasn't able to play it through here. So, we're going to try this. Just bear with me. So, I'm playing it from a downloaded file on my laptop and you should be able to hear it through here, but let's just test it out.

You're also t You're also looking at a 7day middle. Can you hear it at all or No, that's not going to be groups of young people. So, I I think it's going to be a more mature audience. So, correct. We shouldn't have some of those. Correct. And this is a 7-day rental. You can't do three days or four days. It is seven days. Okay. I just wanted to clarify that. All right. So, resolution 2025-17. Uh we have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Uh, all in favor indicate by saying I. Any days? Hearing none, it passes. Okay, you're also

just hit play again. Um, so this clearly shows that the 7-day rental requirement is part of the package for approval by council. Yet, it was never written in to the IUP. This oversight has been the source of many of our issues with this. It was admitted at the February meeting that this is the first time most or all of you are do taking care of this. Okay. But but this is a mistake and us the neighbors have had to bear the full weight of this of this air. I have asked other people for like more that know about these sorts of issues more than I do and um they have said it should be looked into. So I as a taxpayer would like to ask you, I don't know who charges, but I would really appreciate if the city attorney Krueger I think is his name could just procedural check into what is the process. It's first time for all of us. Why are we afraid of the information? I think it would be helpful. I'd like to know what should have happened when the IEP error was found that this wasn't written in someone. It didn't get written in and it was voted on. So, if it wasn't handled correctly, how do we make it right now? And is it legal to approve a non-conforming lot for an IUP? And if so, how is that exception explained to the public? Because the other issue we are going to keep bringing up until it's addressed is that the Hubert Lane IUP is on a non-conforming lot. square footage is not 15,000 square feet and the the distance um from the setback from the road is also not confirming and I would like an answer and nobody's answered it yet. The other thing I would like to um just address this is more personal at the February meeting Joy Do shared that a couple of you reached out to them to talk to the neighbors. Now, I'm sure your intentions were altruistic and it was the best, but that approach I would

appreciate if you didn't do that again, that you would make both sides part of this process. And if you want to help, then offer to mediate. Offer to actually bridge both sides because what you heard, what we deal with are people who don't tell the truth. That's what we see in our lane and on our home, but you don't see that. So, what Joy Dog didn't tell you last month was that the other neighbors did talk to them verbally. They did share some ideas that would make the situation much more livable. But she didn't share that at the meeting. She just shared that Jeff and I would have appreciated emailing rather than talking. So, I also want to remind you that the person the Matt do is someone I don't feel safe around. So, when those of you who suggested that they come talk to us, I will remind again, and I'm glad it's on video again. Matt accosted our other neighbors after the during the planning commission meeting back in May. There should be video. I know our neighbors reported it to Bobby. I know I told you, Mark, at the at the break. My husband Jeff talked about it at the May council meeting. Matt Dog came up to our neighbors fingerpointing, swearing, yelling because he wasn't getting his way in that planning commission vote. I don't go outside alone when Matt Doug is outside anymore at my home where I should feel the safest. So, please don't send them to us to have verbal communication without willing being willing to be part of the process to help negotiate. I'm willing to talk. We're willing to talk, but not when it's one-sided. Please talk with both sides. And lastly, and I know I've gone over, so thank you for not cutting me off. Um, this didn't start with Jeff and Amy and Scott and Lisa who just won't let it go. This started with 15 neighbors on Hubert Lane getting together, signing a petition, doing what we're supposed to do as concerned citizens coming in,

asking our elected officials to represent at least a bit. At least somewhat. And many of them spoke to you back then. And darn it, I'm just going to keep reminding you of that because I would really like to see some balance on this issue because you'll be the ones voting. Thank you for your time. I'm sorry I have to get back to work. Thank you. Can see me. All right. Anyone else for a public comment? Cliff.

Good evening. Thank you for what I'll re reaffirm her, you know, that you've moved this to the regular council meeting so that we don't have to spend well I have I'm I'm at 5:00 at Cold Spring and not knowing when I could talk here, I had to hurry from there to here. And anyhow, thank you very much for having this and having it as part of the scheduled meeting. I'm Cliff Johnson. I'm with the Cold Spring Area Historical Society and here this evening to invite you to our next program or speakers in this case. Um we in conjunction with the friends of the library, Cold Spring area friends of the library, um are presenting on Wednesday, March 25th, uh 6:30 in the evening at the deaf in Cold Spring. Um it's titled Mystery Author Panel. There are four Minnesota authors. They happen to all be women um speaking about their writings and uh well you you um I guess the way I put is I don't do much writing maybe a journal once in a while but every year I go to a conference a full day conference listening to writers because it is interesting to know their thinking. not just on what they're writing, but how to sell it and all the other things that go along with, you know, making a

living as a writer. Anyhow, should be an interesting evening. It's free and open to everybody. Um there will be cookies and uh um coffee, water to go with it. um 6:30 on Wednesday, March 25th. Um any questions, comments? No. Can I can can I show a few artifacts, please? Please.

Um I'm most things are not preserved. U is that a way to say it? you know, all the businesses, all the organizations, all the people, most of them aren't preserved. Um, that we get one item for any one thing. That's that's good. That's nice. There are a few where we get a whole lot of items. And I brought a plate plate full. um 1920 um uh account booklet from Rockville State Bank and we couldn't figure out the last name, Peter K something, but anyhow, uh there's another one from 1924. Um, hairbrush, Rockville State Bank. Um, oh, what what's kind of interesting to me is we've got this jar opener, right? Um, Rockville State Bank. Uh, I forget the year. Somebody here probably knows when Rockville went to Weight Park and became Plaza Park State Bank. Um anyhow, can opener, Plaza Park, State Bank, and a fly swatter, all kinds of fun things. And at a certain point,

the bank building became First National Bank of Cold Spring. Right. So, uh, that that we've got so many things documenting, you know, one business is really nice and well, it's just fun to show it off and a few other things like that. Any questions, comments? 1957 it became Plaza State Bank. Hm. 1957. 57. Yeah. Anyhow, thank you very much for your time and have a good meeting. Thank you. Thank you.

And did you get one of these, Mr. Mayor? No. I'll take over there with Bobby and I posted one already out front.

Thank you. All right. The public comment going once Jeremy Gross 2605 County Road 139 Rockville or St. Joe if you want to call it St. Joe. So actually I was just thinking about what Brian was talking about with the fire truck. I guess something I want to bring up with that is there's been a lot of city maintenance vehicles that have been boughten brand new here in the last couple years and I've seen you fight very hard for them and it kind of really hurts to hear that you're fighting for the fire department which is running out on emergency calls to get a used repairable ambulance. We've had a lot of handme-downs in the years, free rigs. I mean, I can go up there. I can show you right now. Three rigs that were given to us that we maintain. I don't think it's asking a lot to try to get a rig that's first out the door for everything we go on. Medicals, car accidents, and fires. It's out the door. It's our lifeline. It's the city's lifeline. And it's actually a little degrading to hear that we're going to talk about going to a repairable. I've done my due diligence through the years running and looking at fire trucks. And I've been to Carco many times and looked at fire trucks and I've picked them apart. We've gone up there and looked at them where the paint's still wet and the body's twisted and the tires are worn on the inside delu. I don't think that's what we want running down the road for Roxville.

Thanks. Thanks, Jeremy. Thanks, Jeremy. All right. Public comment going once, going twice, going three times. We'll close the public comment. All right. Additions to the agenda uh be under department report D4, the grade grading bid, and then uh 10B, closing the PMA account. Make a motion to approve the agenda with the two additions. I'll second.

Okay. Motion and second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. Any nays? All right. Uh, approval of the February bills paid. Um, everybody got that in their packet. Was able to look at that. I'll make a motion to approve. Second. Have a motion. A second. Was a second. I'm sorry. Ashley. Ashley. Okay. Any further discussions? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. Any nays? Any conflicts? I'd like the record to show that I abstain from check number 24124.

Thank you, Brian. Uh the consent agenda, approval of Rockville City Council minutes from February 11th, acknowledgement of FE the building permits for February, the sheriff's report for February, month end reconciliation for February, and then approval of a street closure for the 50th anniversary for the Lions. And do you Jason or Brian, do you guys want to comment on on that?

What's all happening there on 15th of August? So, it's the 15th of August is what we've pinpointed down for our day. Um, we're going to have a awards and dinner um at the Perry Center. That's going to be around 4:00, isn't it? I think 4 to like 6:30 or whatever. And the band's going to start down here at 7 and go till 11:00. And we're still filling in who's doing what as far as I, you know, maybe doing a hamburger stand down here. Um I don't know what the two bars are planning on doing for their their portion of it, but um BLT is going to be the band. Um and I think we we got to have it approved here at at our this month's meeting. Um, but I think we're going to have a magician at our dinner.

So, and the uh the dinner is going to be for past Lions members and and current Lions members and distinguished people from our community. So, it's going to be by invitation for that portion of it. So, you'll be getting one, Mark and the rest of the council. Um, so the more that come the better. We're just we're just there to toot our horn that we've been here for 50 years. We have one we have two charter members yet that were there when they started. One has been contiguous from day one. Um, the other one took a few year sbatical and then there I think there's two or three other living charter members. We're going to invite them. I don't know if they're going to show up or not, but uh out of the 31, that's what's around.

Well, there's no there's no doubt the lines have a huge value to the city. Well, it's it's we we've done a lot of things for our community and we want to continue and we just want to show that, you know, here we are. So, perfect. 50 years is a pretty big milestone. That's great. All right. Looking for a motion to approve the consent agenda. I'll make a motion to for the consent agenda. I'll second it. I have a motion, a second. Any further discussion? All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. Any naysay? Hearing none. We'll move on to the department report for uh HR. Who is doing that one?

I thought it was going to be you. So, sorry.

Yeah, that's fine. Uh, so this has kind of been in the works for a little bit. I've been going back and forth quite a bit with the League of Municipal Cities over, you know, kind of what some of their requirements are, reaching out to some other cities. And so, uh, uh, you know, Julie and Jason and myself have all looked at this. Um, we've added some things, uh, I think maybe some other cities haven't added in there. One of them is, uh, an employee checklist. So, kind of if they do go on a leave, like what what are some of the expectations from the city that how they're to communicate to make sure we know what's going on and also letting them know that um just because you're on a leave doesn't mean you no longer have to pay like your healthcare premiums and things like that. So, making sure people are really aware. So, we took a little bit extra time on this to make sure it was right, but that's what's before you guys now. I will just say that almost every employer is probably putting this out right now because I know we just got it for where I work um that they just want to make sure everyone understands the paid leave, how it works. So, I'm sure everyone has heard about it or has signed something on it. Yeah.

Yeah. It's to get it up to date to get it up with all with the changes that came through when this Sure. rules. So, and it's just protecting the city in the end. Great. Yep. So, it's just being added to the policy and procedure policy. Yep. Yeah. I'll I'll make a motion to approve the policy. I'll second. I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I I. Any nays? Hearing none, we'll move on to the planning commission. Mr. Bill.

All right. Good evening everybody. Um we had our planning commission meeting on March 4th. Uh we started off with a demonstration uh from the radi rapid radicals team uh representing Stickney Hills. And what they're doing is they're trying to take the um I'm going to use the word contaminants, but it's not the proper word, but trying to make their discharge um available so that they can use our sewer system to get rid of their waste. M

and they uh they presented and then passed around a um vial couple vials of what they have and then what it looks like after it's treated. Um and it was very it was impressive as few of you were there. Um so they're asking for a 3month extension on their cup to to play this all out and uh hopefully it will work which I think it will. So, the planning commission is recommending that um you grant them a 3month extension on their cup so they can achieve this. That's one item I've got. So, go ahead. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I'll make the motion to approve the the three-month extension for them. It it does does seem like they're we're moving in the right direction and it's um you know, I think giving them a little extra time will I I think one of the things that they had said was was they're going to be increasing what they're putting into it. So now the next three months they're going to be they're going to be treating more. So um it'll give them a better idea as far as to what their system can all can all do. This could end up being an expansion of their facility if it all works out. I'm sorry I interrupted you. I'll second that motion. A motion and a second. Any further discussion hearing? None. All in favor indicate by saying I.

I. Any naysay? All right, Bill.

Next item was the we had a lengthy discussion on short-term rentals and just prior to our meeting, um I received a call from Sterns County uh saying that they're willing to sit down with us and tell us what they can or can't do for short-term rentals. And so after when we had our discussion, I brought that up to uh the uh commissioners and uh we tabled any action until our next meeting when uh Sterns County Angie Berg will be at our meeting and I would like to invite all of you uh to attend and they will discuss what they can and can't do in regards to helping the city through the short-term rental thing.

And what date is that again, Bill? Uh the date April 1st.

No trick. So we we voted to table it.

Okay. Anything else, Bill? No, that's it. Thank you very much. Uh park and w update. Ashley, you It doesn't matter.

Um, park and wreck met. Um, Heather did resign from um, the park and wreck committee. Um, so we currently only have two members. Um, Bobby has stepped in to the chair position. Um, and they had we had a really good conversation about how to move forward. We are taking applicants. So tell tell your friends, anyone that you guys know of that would be interested in giving their feedback and helping out. Um definitely send them mine or Bobb's way and we'll try to reach out to them. Um I think most of our conversation resolved revolved around the survey results that were sent out. Um it it didn't tell us I don't think anything surprising stuff that we it kind of confirmed everything the park and recck committee was working working towards. Um so I think the one thing they're going to really focus on is um updating the the blue park in town. So we're going to start exploring options and working with a company and all really great ideas. So I think that's that was the gist of

everything. and Dan did confirm that that that playground equipment was put in 91. So that is by far the oldest equipment that playground equipment. So we figured that was the most logical place to start with with giving some updates and so you just have at this point it's just a concept that no quote or anything at this time. Is that correct? Correct. Yep. But we've got some drawings and we we kind of got a starting place to what that park would look like. And awesome. Hopefully over the next, you know, year or two, maybe longer, the parks committee will kind of fine-tune that idea and uh and be able to come forward to finance and to council. It's a really cool idea for a park. So, the committee is going to meet again in April. Yep.

Just to talk a little bit further um to make a make a plan forward. So, it went really it went really well. Tuesday, April 7th, 5:30 here at city hall. So, if anyone's interested in learning more about parks and wreck, there's no commitment. Just show up to a meeting and and be a fly on the wall if you want. But if you have any interest at all, come on down to city hall. And those meetings now got moved to Tuesday every for each month instead of Monday. Tuesday, April 7th at 5:30.

Thanks, Ashley. All right. Uh Barry Thank you. So, uh, I have three things to talk about. Well, four, sorry. Uh, so the first thing we're looking at is the, uh, resolution in 102612, the accepting of dust control bids. Uh, we went out, uh, got three bids. Uh, the first or the high or low bid was Central Dust Control at 78. They go up 2 cents, I think, from last year. It was at 76 cents. Um, then Crow Wing is at a $1.74 and Knife River is also at $1.74. What is the council's wishes on the bids?

But if you're happy with Central Dust Control and they've been doing a nice job, I would I'm in favor of that. Again, I agree with that. They've actually been very easy to work with. So, if we have to have them come and hold off if we're doing some graveling or whatever, they'll hold off and then come back later and it's they just continue on. So, they've been very good to work with. All right. So, we need to make a motion to approve for the $45,851. Is that correct, Barry? At the Yeah. 78 for Central Minnesota Dust Control. Mhm. I'll make a motion to approve. Can you put the resolution in there? Yeah.

Oh, 2026-12. Any So, approve resolution 2026- 13. Is that 12? 12. Sorry, I'll get to it here. Right. Um to approve uh central Minnesota dust control for that 45,000. Where' that go? Here. 851. 851. I'll second that. So motion a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I.

I. Any nays? Hearing none. Okay. Bar crack. Great. Yep. We got resolution 2026-13, which is the uh looking for the acceptance of the crackfill bid. Uh we actually went out. I actually reached out to eight different people. Uh we only got three back. Um which the low bid came in. It was uh Bertrram asphalt at $180 a pound. Then there was MD asphalt at $2 a pound and then Aztec was at $25.

And which one is it that you like the best for working with and whatnot? Uh, we worked with Aztec in the bass or in the past and they did really good work. I think, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. No, sorry. Um, I think if Aztec can do the crack filling in the seal coating, they can do them both. And I think it would be a smart decision just to have them do it. I kind of agree with that. And that's who's been here before so they kind of correct

understand, you know, how the city works and that kind of thing. And just because we get a per pound piece, it doesn't or price, it doesn't tell us how many pounds they're going to use. So, we really don't have an idea of what what those totals are going to come in as Pat. Do you know by chance how much it cost us last time? And I know it's been a few years uh for the crack filling. Yep. We did a lot more square footage and it was uh I thought it was like a h 100,000 or something that we did but that was like the quarter of the town though the whole um

and when you did the budget you budgeted for Aztec's number correct feel like I vaguely remember last year I I did a budget and worked up the budget for the $28 that was last year. Their bid price is still the same this year. Mhm. Um, so it is within our budget uh to do any any one of these three. So So if we my only concern is if we pick the Aztec, we have to put a cap on a dollar cap on that too, right? Or no?

Yeah, we uh we did go through the art and the finance committee and we put a $25,000 on the crack filling portion of it. I know that the uh if you look at the MP, they uh was looking at about 15,000 where uh Bertrram was at 2400 and then 4,900 if we did everything and over over both of them. Uh Aztec did not put a total bid uh price, but they said it would do per pound. So, we go with Aztec, but we can say that we only want so many pounds or we want it has to stay under a certain dollar amount. I'm just concerned that we just if we give them a $25,000 cap, we'd run we just we can run rogue a little bit rogue there as well. Correct.

Mhm. Can we say by how many pounds not to go over, you know? Yeah. I mean, it's the same concept of giving like an open checkbook, but I mean, if MP say they can do it for seven, you know, 1,500 pounds, if we say don't go over 8,000, I mean, we're within our budget. And they might come in less. You know what I'm saying? You have the roads laid out that we need done this year, right? Yep. It's we're we're crack filling in front of all the chip seal, fog sealed. Mhm. So that way it's you fill up the cracks and then they get covered up. Helps hold them in a little better

because they'll they'll be directed what they should should be doing. That's what I was thinking too.

Well, for this 2026 resolution 13, well, how do you guys want to proceed? Well, if you want to keep it on under that $25,000, then you'd have to limit the pounds up to what is it like 12,500 lb roughly? Roughly. Yeah.

Um otherwise, you could go to the 25,000, but I I don't know how you want to decipher that. Either one's fine with me. I mean, Aztec at the 205, if you just take the basic 7,500 pounds, I mean, you're only talking $375 more, you know? So, it's 15,375.

What' you say, Brian? 12,500 lb roughly. It put you over just a little bit over 25,000. 25625. Should we just limit them to 12,000 lbs and that way we're we're staying within our budget that we proved. And if they use less, it's less.

I mean, you can do it that way, too. I'm just looking at the other ones at 13,800 lb to do the same amount of road. So, we're going to be shorting, you know, 1,800 lb. If you go down to 12, if we do the 125, you're at you're going to short at, you know, 1300 lb. Yeah, but I don't understand how one bid can come at 13,000 lb and one at 7,500. That's what I was just going to ask. How does that work? That's what I'm struggling with.

So, they they came out and measured themselves. So, it's it's one of those two guys went out. So, he came out and one person did all the cracks. Uh he also did the old or the new cracks or the ones that were already filled once to bring them back up flush. That was part of the when we went out for bid. So, that's why his is probably a little higher and the other guy might have just been new cracks um for routering. I would say don't go more than 12 pounds. And if we have to cut off roads, the there is alleys and stuff in there too where we could possibly back off a few roads if we need to cut a few. So the main roads will still get crack filled. That's my only cuz how often do we do crack filling? Every few years, five years is now every five.

It's crack filling's every year. So it's it's going to be the same thing. So it's going to be every every year that we do chip seal, fog seal. uh we'll try to get ahead of it and if we haven't in the budget if it's if we don't get it we'll have to go back the next year and possibly crack fill the bad ones.

And that's where I'm at because I don't want to come short in five years. I don't want us to because they set up we set up a budget for it for 25,000 per year. Whatever it is, I don't want to come up short at year five because we cut back five grand or however much from year to year. You know what I mean? If we if we put that dollar amount in there, we should Well, if you do the tw the 12, you know, pounds, you know, that will bring it to like 248 something.

Yeah. 246, you know. So, I mean, you're right there at that 25. Mhm. And if this other guy was able to do it for 138, I think that we're close and saying can't go over 12, you know, 12 pound, you know, 1,200 lb.

I'm just struggling how to how to lay that out for him. Well, we can you can approve approve it up to that dollar amount. Yeah. Then you're safe no matter how many pounds they use. The end of the day. Well, cuz if they go long, you've got other roads that they can go finish up on if we have to. Yeah. It'll be the the next years for uh crack filling next year. Then they would go to those next roads if they have extra and start going ahead. You know, we can work on building a relationship with them. if they screw us over this year, you know, they don't get the bid next year. So, that's a true statement and I kind of agree with that. 25,000 and

that's as high as we'll go. And if we can get extra out of them, great. It could go the other way too. They could find more cracks or it takes more um crack fill and then we get shorted on what we want to do and then but if we do that, we got to make sure we know where we left off, right? so that when we come back we can continue on if we have to. I would like to at least just try it for a year, give them give them a budget that dollar and we can adjust next year if it goes totally wrong. But it's going to be a working relationship. I agree. If they're they're honest,000 keep getting it. So So we need to make a resolution for 2026-13.

Then you want to go with Aztec? I would say Aztec. I'm good with that. So then I'll approve the resolution 2026-13 to Aztec Surface Technologies for crack filling up to $25,000. I'll second. Okay. Motion a second to approve 2026-13. Any further discussion? I would just make sure when you have a discussion with them, Barry, that you you talk about the stuff we just talked about. So, Barry, too, I'm assuming you'll be going around kind of just checking in on them when they're doing it, too, right?

Yep. Yeah. Thank you. Cuz if it's going really wrong during the middle of it, you can always stop it, too. Yeah. Okay. All right. We have a motion, a second. Any other discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I any nays hearing? None. We'll move on to the seal code.

Okay. So, resolution 2026-14 is the acceptance of the seal code bidding. We're doing a chip seal with a fog seal on top of it, which we did uh last year on our roads, and everybody seemed to like that. Um actually went out for five bids. I talked to people and only two bids came back. Um, we had Aztec and then a allied black top. Um, we have uh Allied Blacktop came in at $1.97 per square yard. And then Aztec came at $28 a square yard.

And what was our budget on that berry? 175,000. We're actually coming at like 163,000 I think with the roads if I did the math correct. I agree with you, Ashley. Just go with the Aztec even though you know they're 10,000 higher but that relationship that you know going forward Well, if they're going to if they can do them at the same time, it makes sense versus bringing in another company. So, that would be be

we could save some money that could save us something in the end. Correct. Well, it's two different crews for one and they and they wouldn't be here necessarily at the same time. So,

okay. I'm looking for council's action on the 2026-14. So, I know $8,000 is $8,000. What's your What's your take on that, Barry, between the two companies? Uh I I personally haven't worked with Allied yet, but I know some I haven't been either. Uh I know Wakefield Township uh had theirs done last year and they said, "Hey, we're a great company to work with, too." So, well, do you want to do you want to go with Alli this time and just see how they do for us as well?

It's up to you. It's it's like I said, it's eight eight or 10,000. It's we can try them if you want. It's It's a little cheaper. So, I know Aztec's been here for years doing stuff for us and they've been good. So, I don't know. Correct. Yeah. No, I don't disagree with that at all. An allied where they're out of Maple Grove, right? Rogers. Rogers.

An Aztec's logo. Correct. Okay. Where is Aztec out of again? Uh, St. Cloud. Yeah. I guess I can make a motion for resolution 2026-14. I would say accept the seal coding bid for Aztec at the 153 387 and 52 cents. Jason, what do you think? You've been really quiet. No, I'm Yeah. No, I'm okay. We have a motion.

I'll second. Motion second. Any further discussion? All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. I. Any nays? Okay. None. We'll move on. So on on number four, we have uh I'd like to ask the council that I can go out for a greeting bid. It's been two years. So every two years, uh, we like to go out and look for new opportunities for people to grade for the city of Rockville. I'll make I'll make a motion for public bid.

I'll second a motion to second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. I. Any nays? Hearing none. That passes. Thank you. That's all I had. Thank you, Barry. Okay. Budget amendments.

So, we're just we're just moving some things around in some different accounts here. You can see the description is uh some engineering fees for the Whimmer annexation. Um some comp plan ordinance. Uh legal fees again annexation. Um the zoning violation and ordinance and then building inspection fees. I'll make a motion to approve the budget amendments as presented. Can second.

So a motion, a second. And what we're doing here is just expanding just adding to the budget for each one of those items. Just so I'm clear. No, they're just being transferred from one uh department to the Oh, I'm sorry. Just shifting buckets. We're just shifting budgets. It's just one of the auditors things that they want to see us doing budget amendments if something needs to shift. Perfect. Okay. All right. We have a motion, a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. Any nays? Move on. And then we want to talk about closing the PMA account.

Yeah, absolutely. So, council have had we've had quite a bit of discussion about um doing some changing around with our savings accounts that are in Grant Bank and that has been changed and we're seeing um some pretty good uh uh return on interest on that account. And so, uh when we put that next to our PMA account that is through the League of Minnesota Cities, all of a sudden that looks like it's not doing quite so well. didn't get nearly the amount in the the granite bank for I can't remember if it was January, February, I think it was like 15,000 and then the PMA is only about like $62. So, uh

Judy and I wanted to bring it forward to you guys that if you were interested in closing that PMA account, shifting those funds over to Grant Bank, since right now we're doing really well on interest, let's capitalize on that even more by just shifting that money over. So, we're just looking for council approval to close the account um through the League of Minnesota Cities. Um which as Brian mentioned earlier, if if all of a sudden the league starts having great interest rates, we can definitely just reopen that account again, move it over there. But since the Granite Bank one is doing so well, let's shift that money over and let's let's make as much as we can on interest as benefit for the city. Yeah, it's been a it's been a big win. That was a good move.

Absolutely. Um, I will make a motion to close the PMA and to transfer those funds to Granite Bank. Second. Have a motion, a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor indicate by saying I. I. I. Any nays? Hearing none. Uh, any other discussion? No. Okay. We'll make a motion to close the meeting. I'll make that motion. Second. Second. Motion in a second. Any further discussion? All in favor indicate by saying I.

I. I. Brad. Would you shut the recorder off, please, and turn it back on after we go into close session. Okay. We'll just take a fivem minute break and close the door. Yeah. I go strong.
