0:00 – 0:430

I'm going to call this meeting of the Lake Mill City Council to order for Tuesday, November 4th. Uh, Misty, would you please call the role? Miss Curler, here. Miss Schmeer, here. Miss Quednau, here. Mr. Coots here. Thank you. And Mr. Waters had notified us that he is not able to be here tonight. So, please rise for the pledge of allegiance. 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.

0:47 – 1:210

Next agenda item is correction and acceptance of city council meeting minutes. So we have minutes from October 21st. uh uh two two meetings on the 21st and a one a meeting on the 27th. So any comments or corrections on those minutes? Okay, seeing none, we'll uh include those in our public record. Uh next are board and committee reports and meeting minutes. We have several on the list there. Are there any questions or comments on these minutes? Mary,

1:17 – 1:460

I have a question regarding um this is maybe a question for Dan. If I there's an inaccuracy in the parks board minutes where it says the votes are 40 and it's a an error that the votes were 50. There were five members in attendance uh that I just caught in reviewing this. So is there something that I need to do to ensure that the accuracy is reflected when these minutes are accepted?

1:42 – 2:150

Um if I I think we should review that. I I'm not sure if that was recorded or not. I'd like to see what the minutes say. You're saying your recollection was that it was a 50 vote instead of a 40 vote? It is according to my the records at the meeting. So I think these are inaccurate. So I would like to recommend that we remove the park board's minutes from today's uh approval acceptance and we will um if that's okay, we'll um make sure there that the correct information is included and put them on next agenda. Perfect. Thank you.

2:12 – 2:520

Sounds good. Thank you. Um I had uh just a question on the library board minutes. A question for you, Michelle. think if I read correctly on one of them, it looks like the board has um increased the budget for the library expansion or at least that was discussed and I just wanted to check um just to make our community aware. Um was that No, not to my knowledge nothing has been increased in terms of the budget. Okay. I think that what they're doing is trying to figure out what fits within the budget and and playing around with that. But let me let me do some digging. I might that might have been the one that I was not Oh, okay.

2:50 – 3:220

And and it's just just um wanted to make sure our community is aware of how that project's moving forward. So, um but I don't have any corrections or anything. So, um any other comments or corrections? So, we'll um send the parks board minutes back to the board uh for correction and then the other ones we'll um accept into our public record. Um next is correspondents and constituent contacts. Um, Greg Coots, would you like to start us off tonight?

3:19 – 3:510

Uh, yeah, just a couple. Um, one with some, uh, potential revenue raising ideas and, uh, one, uh, discussing, uh, Sandy Beach and Sandy Beach plans. Great. Thank you. U, Mary, I had those and I also had one on Eli E. coli mitigation on Sandy Beach. Okay. Thanks, Michelle. Nothing to add.

3:49 – 4:320

Okay. I had um the two that Mr. Coots mentioned. I got a call about a potential zoning change on a city property and then I attended the DNR public information meeting which uh Mary also attended and spoke at and I attended the joint review board. And that is it. Okay. Our next agenda item is public comment. Um, I don't think anybody has registered to speak tonight. So, uh, we didn't have anybody online. We don't have anybody in the room. So, I think we can, um, dispense with that agenda item and then move on to number eight, which is our city manager report. And we've got a document from Drake. Drake, is there anything you'd like to highlight for us tonight?

4:31 – 5:000

Uh, if there's any questions, I'm happy to answer them. I will also add that um last week Friday um the library submitted for a $2 million grant for the library expansion project from the uh state uh local projects uh grant program through do. So we anticipate um kind of early 2026 being notified of if that was successful.

4:59 – 5:430

Fantastic. Sounds like a great opportunity. Are there any questions or comments on uh Drake's monthly report? Okay, seeing none, we will move on to council business. So, our first item is resolution 25-65. Misty, would you read that for us, please? City Council resolution 25-65, conditional use permit declarations and findings. Andrew and Melody Meyer grading filling an excavation on a slope greater than 20% within 300 ft of the or ordinary high watermark of Rock Lake for the purpose of constructing a detached garage, landscaping and site amenities, 353 South Ferry Drive, partial identification number 246713141432.

5:450

Thank you. Um I note that the property owners are here, but uh can we have staff uh start this one off?

5:51 – 7:040

Sure. I'll uh provide the groundwork for you. Um the petitioners went through an application process with the then building inspector Troy Evenson. Um they were directed to pursue a variance for placement of the garage. Um the conditional use permit is um required for any grading excavating um lagooning ditching activity within 300 ft of the ordinary high water mark of Rock Lake. Uh the plan commission reviewed this had a hearing on this at the last plan commission meeting last week. Um they did recommend that the conditional use permit be approved. Um the petitioners are here as you said. Um the variance hearing is set for November 20th. Um I'm I'm not sure if the petitioner needs the the conditional use permit or not. If the variance is not granted, um they cannot be issued a building permit at this time for the proposed structure. Um so we're in a a little bit of a um a waiting game on that. The the variance hearing will be on the 20th. So, um I guess that's really the pertinent information here. I think staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. Um if you have any questions, I'm available.

7:02 – 7:470

Mary, I have a question. When I was looking at the exhibit called survey and plans at 353 South Fairy Drive, I'm not sure when we are um looking at this particular conditional use permit if it if the picture noted um in that exhibit is what we're approving. only noting that the driveway doesn't appear to be placed in the like I'm not sure what the intention is of the driveway and it just didn't look like that was uh addressed in this particular exhibit and so I don't know if if if that comes up during building permit process or if that is something that I is an air is that needs to be corrected or discussed.

7:45 – 8:240

Um that's not what the application is for. It's for the replacement of the um the garage. Um, I have only I've reviewed the plans that have been submitted. I have reviewed them and compared them to the the current overhead of the property that we have. I'm not aware of of what changes with regard to the driveway are proposed. I don't think there's been a permit issued on that. Okay. Um, if they are going to change what is existing to a a new state, it must be in a conforming state. So, I think that's kind of the best information that I have at this point. Okay. Thanks. No other questions then.

8:22 – 8:490

Um and I also have a question um attorney dresser the um because they also need a variance. Well I think what you said was that um they would not need the conditional use permit if the variance wasn't granted. Um so would it be appropriate for us to condition this permit on obtaining the variance or are they sort of two independent items?

8:47 – 9:420

I I believe they're independent items. I I wouldn't really want to condition um one on the other at this point in time because the variance is a standalone process. I wouldn't want to influence that or anything. Uh and we have time in my opinion to if the council is inclined to wait until after you know whether or not the variance is granted. However, I think Miss Schmagger's question is pertinent in that issue. If there is a different reason other than what's provided in the application that the petitioner needs the conditional use permit for grading excavating um lagooning ditching within the 300 ft of the ordinary high water mark of of Rock Lake then perhaps it is appropriate to grant that conditional use permit at this time. I don't think we have plans that state that other than the what we have received regarding the actual removal of an existing garage and the replacement of that garage with a you know their um uh proposed structure.

9:40 – 10:010

Okay. Thank you. And I have a follow-up question. Um, is there um, precedent isn't quite the right word, but if the council were to grant the conditional use permit tonight, does that give any weight or indication that they're going to be getting a variance? I mean, I know those are two separate processes. So,

9:59 – 10:430

it should it to answer your question, it shouldn't. Um, I'm not sure that it would or would not influence the the zoning board of appeals. Um I mean it is a a practical response by the council saying we are at least allowing for grading lagoning ditching in accordance with the plans that have been presented. Um so I could see that argument but it is non-presidential in nature. One does not uh absolutely follow the other. So I I would think the the previous statement that they are completely separate processes kind of still remains true but I can't say with certainty that it wouldn't influence someone in in decision-m. Okay. Thank you. Um and I know the Myers are here tonight and they would like to speak. So, uh, maybe if you'd like to come on up at this time and, uh, tell us about your project.

10:47 – 12:460

Good evening. So, I did not take advantage of the opportunity when we met with the, um, the planning the plan commission. Um, so I thought today we would just introduce oursel a little bit um to the board. Uh, so my wife and I, um, I think it's important, uh, so this is our home. We, we've moved out here. We're permanent residents, year-round residents. Um, I think that's in some cases not the case, uh, for homeowners along Ferry Drive. Um, but this is our home. Um, we've, uh, moved out here a couple years ago, um, in 2023 and, uh, did so with our entire family. We've got three daughters that now claim Lake Mills as their home. So, um um we enjoy it here. Um my wife uh stated shortly after moving out here that we hit the jackpot and mostly because of the fact that um the um just the quality of life, the the neighborhood is fantastic. We enjoy uh uh meeting our neighbors as they walk up and down uh Ferry Drive. Um uh the neighbors themselves are uh have been very welcoming and uh have made our experience here to date uh exceptional and uh just the community in general just as we've entered uh u inserted oursel into the the daily activities here. So, I just want to say that who we are are full-time residents year round. Uh we enjoy it. We want to make this our home. Um the plan that we've put forward for this project is basically to um make it a usable home. Um the prior owners had basically used this on a seasonal basis. And so one of

12:44 – 13:440

the aspects with this addition of the garage is to make it um a property that can be enjoyed through the winters, not just during the summers. Right. So, um, so we're we're hopeful that we can get approval to go move forward with the project. Um, um, I understand, uh, where we're at with the conditional use. Um, I understand that there's a separate thing for the variance. Uh, and I'd understand that we'll work we'll work through that, um, probably in a at the end of the month. And, uh, to the extent that this could be granted conditionally, I think might, uh, help us along in terms of starting to execute the project uh, in December. Um, we had entered into this with Troy at the front end, uh, stating that we were looking to break ground and do this yet this year and he was helpful in getting us to this point. It's just I think now we're just waiting for the boards to to meet and and take place. So, um, I think that's it. So, thank you for your time.

13:43 – 13:560

Thank you. Are there any questions for Mr. Meyer? No. Okay. Um, could I add one more? Uh, sure. step to the podium and if you could introduce yourself.

13:54 – 14:340

Hi. Yeah, I'm Matt Rutzac from Bertel Remodeling, the contractor working with Andy and Melody. And I just wanted to state that the detached garage is not the only piece of the project um that requires the conditional use. We are um doing a small foyer addition as well. So foyer, new staircase. Um so that does get excavated for and and I assume needs to be approved as part of the conditional use too. It doesn't, you know, require any of the any of the variance. It's it's attached and separate from the garage, but is part of the excavation happening. Great. Thank you very much.

14:34 – 14:500

Okay. Uh, we don't have a motion yet for this. So, uh, would anyone like to make a motion on resolution 25-65? I will move to approve city council resolution 25-65. Second.

14:48 – 15:470

Okay. Okay, we have a motion by Mary Schmaker, a second by Michelle Qued. Now, any discussion, questions, comments, uh, I guess I'm just going to make a comment. I I don't have any concerns with the project. Um I do my preference would be that we would see these after uh variance was granted because if for some reason variance is not granted then we wouldn't need to be acting tonight or the project plans would potentially change and we would have to see it again. So um but understanding and and hopefully the zoning board of appeals and and property owners understand that our approval tonight doesn't represent it doesn't it's not the same as the standards for the variance. So, you still need to go through that process. Um, again, I I don't have any objections to the project. Any other questions or comments? Seeing none, uh, Miss, you please call the role on resolution 25-65.

15:46 – 16:270

Miss Schmeer, I. Miss Quednau, I. Mr. Coots, I. Miss Curler, I. Motion passes board zero. Thank you. Our next item is resolution 25-66. Uh, Mr., would you read that for us, please? City Council resolution 25-66, approving an allocation amendment for tax incremental district number three, city of Lake Mills in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. And again, why don't we uh have staff go through this first before we do any motions?

16:23 – 18:210

Sure. Um, Brian, would you like to describe the item? Yep. Happy to do so. Thanks, Drake. I'm going to share my screen here to add some um some context to what I'm speaking to. So, bear with me on that. All right. So, um the first thing to to point out here is that this is um this is just an allocation amendment. So that means that ultimately this is not going to be uh any change to the boundaries of the project um of part of either TID or 8. You can see here in the map this is an older TID um originally started in 20 uh looks like 2006 um and the newer TID in 2021 would be TID 8. So these are generally the boundaries which would not be changing or projects as part of this. Um, TID 3 is set to meet the debt obligations in 2026 and after that it's ultimately generating a surplus. And so the purpose of the proposed amendment really is to allow the annual allocation from TID 3 which would be the donor to TID 8 which would be the recipient obviously of of that um donation for the remaining life of TID 3. um a performer was created as part of um the development of the project plan and that is included in the memo as well as you can see. Um now as far as process goes uh per state statutes the taxing jurisdictions have been notified by letter. uh the first joint review to board meeting was held wasn't an action item on that meeting, but there was uh to present the plan and to go through the the details uh so they're familiar in advance of uh potentially another board review meeting. Um the plan commission did

18:19 – 20:160

recommend approval at the October 28th meeting. Now, should council approve of the amendment, um it would then go to joint uh review board on November the 20th. And so this requested action really is a decision needed on first to determine if uh city council approves the proposed amendment and then second to approve the allocation amount from TI 3 to date. And options presented in the memo would be to uh look at the 1,00 or 1,100,000 total or increase it to 1,340,000 um or change it to an entirely different amount uh based on the discretion of of this uh this body. So this is a proposal that I had asked um our TIF advisors to work up for us. Um so because of the the type of TID that the downtown TID is is what makes it eligible for to receive um donations from other successful TIDs. Um the TID that's being donated from is near the end of its life. not much or really any opportunity left to utilize those funds for improvement projects within um that tiff district. Um so what this does is it takes those surplus funds and puts them into an area in which I think that they are better uh situated to um meet the city council's economic development goals which is in which is which is into our um downtown tiff district. Um after the plan commission public hearing, we did we did take one more look at the cash flow of um the TID and ran a few more calculations um which resulted in the alternative funding amount that you see uh an annual an increase from the annual um 110,000

20:10 – 20:460

uh to um I believe it's 140 um,000 which results in about $240,000 in additional funds that could be transferred to uh the downtown TID over its life. So, um that would be my recommendation is to approve the alternative amount. Um and these funds will then be able to be transferred to a TID with a much longer lifespan and I think with some of the uh council's highest uh economic development priorities to be able to put those dollars where they can be best um utilized.

20:47 – 21:130

Okay. Thank you. Are there any questions or comments from council members? Mary, I have a question. Um, what what are like the are there any negative consequences or risks for making this donation? Um, not necessarily to the city. No.

21:10 – 22:070

Okay. um in the if the donation wasn't amount the surplus would simply build in that TID until its uh closure and then those surplus funds would be dispersed to all of the taxing jurisdictions. Um and so um those dollars just would be they'd be they'd go back to the each of the taxing jurisdictions that are made up on the joint review board and would not be able to be utilized for projects. um the the allocation the donation if if for some reason the projections were incorrect the allocation doesn't you're not obligated to to donate to transfer so there's not really much risk to the donating TID um I would I don't foresee very many downsides to taking this step

22:04 – 22:320

okay you have an additional question. I did I had one one additional question. Um I noticed one of the elements of the appendix was the legal opinion that wasn't noted and I I was just curious the city like Lake Mill attorney's opinion. So I guess be yours. I draft a letter at the end of the process for that. I was just curious was a process question. I didn't know if that was material for a decision.

22:29 – 23:130

I'll submit that assuming that you vote moving forward. I I personally believe I've reviewed the statute. I've reviewed the plan. I believe that this is in accordance with what is allowed by the statute specifically because the uh receiving TID is a blight remediation TID. This is allowed under statute. Um I think it's from an economic development standpoint an effective way to use and capitalize on the funds that are gathered through uh uh the the the TID um the life of TID 3. At this point in time, I wait for presentation in front of the the second joint review board meeting for my attorney opinion letter because it just doesn't even matter until that point. So Okay. because I was actually thinking your opinion would matter. Well, it just kind of like

23:09 – 23:510

I just basically I think that um this this is appropriate under statute. Um I I I appreciate the questions that you've asked um with regard to you know downsides especially. Um it as a matter of course I've usually just done it at the second joint review board meeting. That's all. Uh the joint review board is final action on this item. So the city council sets the allocation amount and then that gets forwarded to joint review board for final action. So the joint review board is the entity that must approve the um project plan amendment. Okay. Thanks.

23:48 – 24:270

Um I have a followup to I guess sort of to Mary's first question. So I guess sort of related to risk. So, if the um if we approve the resolution or some version of their resolution tonight, um the different taxing bodies do not receive in 2033 would not receive a distribution. Uh but there could be potentially a distribution earlier if something happened in date. Am I am I understanding that correctly? Or would there distribution be later? coming from TID

24:24 – 25:070

there would be if TID 8 is successful as as we project it to be at the by the end of its life there would be a distribution at the termination of TID 8 okay so the distribution of the taxing taxing districts would be later it occurs at the termination potentially than 2033 so anything that isn't donated from TID 3 will still be dispersed so any additional surplus that wasn't part of the allocation uh will still be dispersed Um but the redispersement to the taxing jurisdictions only happens when a TID closes um not in distress essentially. It has a surplus amount that then goes back.

25:04 – 25:400

Okay. Thank you. And so just one other question then for you Drake. You are recommending that the council approve the alternative amount and if I'm reading it correctly the resolution is written for the original amount. So, we would need to amend that if if someone wanted to um follow your recommendation. Correct. I actually have one more followup with that. Okay. The uh alternative amount that's in in the memo um it's 100

25:37 – 26:200

it's 110 for the first two years and it talks about meeting the the debt obligation. is that we wouldn't are we looking to approve 140 a years starting this year or 110 for two years and then it's the structure as al as um laid out in the um memorandum from meet and hunt. So the 110 um it essentially has the lower amount while the debt is being retired and then increases it um after that because there are no more obligations in TID 3. It has no other um debts to pay.

26:23 – 26:510

Did that address your question, Greg? It absolutely does. I'm just looking at the uh resolution trying to figure out what the the appropriate wording is. Okay. Okay. So, I think we can start with a a uh if there are no further questions, uh we can have a motion. Um would that need to incorporate the amendment if someone wanted to do that? Or you could and then you'd only have one motion. All right.

26:49 – 27:330

So, I mean it could be a motion to adopt city council resolution 2566 um with the um with the in with the replacement sorry a a motion to adopt resolution 25-66 uh utilizing the TID3 allocation amendment alternative amount um with the structure as provided within the um memo provided by the uh city's planner uh dated October 30th 2025. All due respect, I think it might be cleaner to just revise letter C in the resolution and just list those dollar amounts. Sure.

27:31 – 27:460

And then that would be maybe a little more straightforward. But Greg, were you thinking about making a motion? Do you have an idea how you want to do it? I want to do it however it works the cleanest. So, no pressure, Greg.

27:46 – 28:290

Um, okay. Uh, in that case, I would make a motion to approve city council resolution 25-66 uh with the alternative amount as outlined in the memo um as the as the amount instead of just the flat 110. Attorney Dresser, is that sufficient clarity? Um, yeah, I think that's consistent with with Drake's advice there. Um,

28:27 – 29:110

I'm I'm I don't have the memo in front of me, so I want to just confirm the numbers. Perhaps perhaps perhaps we could state on page two of the memo or I mean it's be more specific about Brian it's accurate that it's 110,000 in 2026 110,000 in 2027 and 140,000 each year thereafter until the expiration of TID 3. That's correct. Yeah. as it the second paragraph of the background describes it and then also as shown here. So perhaps

29:07 – 29:490

in the table it looks like 2025 has 110 or is it supposed to so it's 2025 110 2026 110 and then going to 140 and uh 2027 going to be a distribution in 2025. So assuming the board of review or the joint review board approved it, the allocation could start in 2025. The donation, correct? The donation could, but um relative to the discussion, the the increase would occur in 2027 once that data obligation has been met.

29:47 – 30:320

Okay, that was ahead by a year. Y um so the the motion could be if Greg was you could make it if you wanted to be more specific it would be a resolution to approve 25-66 um amending uh section C of the fifth whereas um a statement of the proposed allocation ofund $110,000 annually for the years 2025 and 2026 with an increase to $140,000 annually for each year thereafter until the expiration of TID 3. Yes. Yeah. So, is that the motion you'd like to make, Mr. Coops?

30:31 – 31:130

Yes, that is the motion I would like to make. Okay. And hopefully Misti is following along on this as well. Um, is there a second? Second. Motion by Mr. recruit seconded by Miss Schmaker to adopt resolution 25-66 amending um section C. So it's $110,000 annually in the years 20 25 and 26 and $140,000 annually for the I'm paraphrasing for the remaining lifetime of TID 3. Those would be the donation amounts. Um is there any further discussion questions comments? No.

31:11 – 31:560

Um I would just like to make a comment. I think this is a very strategic um uh approach to trying to get something going in our downtown district and I really appreciate Drake bringing this idea forward. I think this is can will really give a boost to uh to date and we'll keep our fingers crossed that that um helps us get where we want to go in the downtown. It's I appreciate you recognizing that this has been a priority of our the council and our community. Thank you. Okay. Any further comments, discussion? Seeing none, uh, Misty, would you please call the role on resolution 25-66? Miss Quinnell, I. Mr. Coots, I.

31:54 – 32:380

Miss Curler, I, Miss Schmeer, I. Motion passes 40. Thank you. Okay. Our next item is resolution 25-67. M, would you read that one for us, please? City Council Resolution 25-67, resolution authorizing the city manager to terminate the intergovernmental agreements for building inspection services with the towns of Lake Mills, Oakland, and Kashkinan. I move to approve city council resolution 25-67 as written. Mr. Coots will second. Motion by Miss Quednau, seconded by Mr. Coots. Uh Drake, anything you want to

32:36 – 33:200

All of the townships have already been notified of the changes in our building inspection services. Uh we've discussed with them an option that would allow us to still coordinate a contract on their behalf, which um they're still welcome to engage with us on. Um this is a procedural a procedural necessity uh to essentially terminate the IG um as it reflects a service in a manner that we don't currently provide any longer. Thank you. Any questions or discussion? If not, uh, Misty, would you please call the role on resolution 25-67? Mr. Coots, I. Miss Kurler, I. Miss Meer, I. Miss Quednell,

33:19 – 33:490

I. Motion passes 40. Thank you. Our next agenda item is resolution 25-68. Mr. Would you, read that title for us? City Council resolution 25-68. City Manager compensation. Thank you.

We're very very happy with your work uh on behalf of the city and appreciate your uh leadership and managing all of our operations and a number of strategic uh areas of of excellence that we've been talking about.

34:23 – 34:530

Thank you very much. Uh it's a privilege to serve Lake Mills. It's the end of your third year and the beginning of your fourth year. So, thank you so much. Um, with that, uh, Misty, would you please call the role on resolution 25-68? Miss Kurler, I. Miss Meer, I. Miss Quedno, I. Mr. Coots, I. Motion passes 40.

34:50 – 35:300

Thank you. Um I did forget to highlight um that you are very close to achieving your uh certification um for uh ICMA credential manager status and I think you've shared with us that very few people actually hold that uh within the uh international association. So that's quite a quite an accomplishment and having um two young children along that pathway as well that's surprised you were able to squeeze that in. So, thank you um for uh that that shows your dedication to your to your profession. So, thank you for that. Thank you.

35:58 – 37:110

Uh some updates based on uh health insurance costs. um typically within what what was discussed um just ensuring that all uh searchcharge costs and terminal fees with existing providers are accounted for within the budget. Um beyond that it's largely similar to what uh was presented. So uh there'll also be there will also be the public hearing uh at the next meeting as well. Thanks for the reminder on that. And um anybody that follows the news, the you know cost of health in rising cost of health insurance is affecting everyone, not just our city.

So we'll move on to public hearing and a final reading on ordinance 1284 at our next meeting. Uh, ordinance 1285 is our next item and we're due for a second reading tonight. Misty, would you do that second reading?

37:05 – 37:500

So, we will have that uh public hearing and third reading of ordinance 1285 at our next meeting. Any questions or comments on that one? Uh yeah, a question about the capital budget. Um was this document going to be updated with a uh with a sandy beach allocation? It will be for the third reading. Cool. Thanks.

37:48 – 38:450

Thanks, Greg. So, our next agenda item is announcements and recommendations for future agendas. And one of the items I had actually uh wanted to have this evening, but we'll have next time is just our next steps on Sandy Beach. We we had some discussion, it was uh reported in the leader independent about what we want to do next. probably having a work session um updating our master plan but exactly what scope and timeline and process we want to follow on that I don't think we have given our staff clear direction on that so hopefully we can give them some clarity and talk about that a little bit at our next meeting and then um be able to move forward with that process and we have our two budget items that will be on the next meeting uh we had the um zoning amendment that was postponed from tonight that'll be back for Well, it'll be back on for first reading. Um, anything else? Oh, wastewater something on wastewater, right?

38:43 – 39:190

Yep. There will be a public hearing on the fac draft facilities plan um for the wastewater treatment plant and there the um utilities budget resolution will also be on the uh November 18th agenda. We approved the utility budget by resolution uh rather than ordinance on the uh municipal side. So, that only has the one resolution. And it doesn't have a three reading process. Correct. Okay. Thank you. Anything else from council members? No. Okay. Seeing none, then I will call this meeting adjourned. Thank you everyone.
