Yeah. Appreciate that. Resolution call roll please. Lunberg. Yes. Meer yes. Kafa. Yes. Glaze. Yes. Hansen, yes. Gosh, yes. Carries. And we also have a presentation tonight, a community brief by Camp Ripley Garrison Commander, Colonel Steven Hall. Always a pleasure to have you guys here to fill us in on what's happening. Welcome.

Thank you. Thanks for having me tonight. Uh like I like I said, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Steve Hall, the deputy commander for Camp Ripley. Appreciate some time tonight. Next slide, please. So, Camp Ripley's mission um while we're out here, the bottom line is that last part where it says fostering positive community relations. So, it's very important to us at Camp Ripley that we maintain those community relations, especially with Little Falls. We are, you know, member yours, we have the same address, our same city name, so it's important to us and uh we want to be just as transparent as possible with you. So, we come out, we do these community briefs every year, kind of give you a a flavor for what the summer is going to look like and just answer any questions you might have. Next slide. All right. Uh, a little bit about the Minnesota National Guard leadership. So, Major General Shawn Matey, that's the agitant general for Minnesota. So, he's the highest ranking officer in the state. Um, he's about threequarters of the way through his term. And then he's got a new command sergeant major, which is Jason Ross. So, he's the the senior enlisted adviser for the state. Uh, I think if you remember last year was as an Air Force and it switched to to um Army this year. So, just a quick breakdown a little bit about the National Guard because we get kind of confused with some other people. So, remember there's there's three there's three different compositions of service, right? You have your active duty, you have your reserve, and you have your national guard. So, we always get a little confused with that. Um, so we are we are all National Guard. We are a mix between Army and Air. So, there's a little over 13,000 soldiers, excuse me, 13 thou th,000 um National Guards men in the state. And then air makes up about a little over 2,000 of that and the rest are army. So we're we're we're what's cons considered composition two um national guard. So we have two missions, a federal and a state mission. So just want to clarify that you next slide with that um 34th infantry division. So the Red Bulls probably see that patch everywhere you go. We are fortunate enough to have the headquarters in Minnesota as well. And that also comes with a two-star command. Brigadier General Joe Shy is waiting on his second

star right now. And his command sergeant major is Mark Dempsey. So, we have two two stars in the state of Minnesota, but with far different missions. Um, General Shy obviously is in charge of 34th division, which is spread between um the whole nation. I think we're I can't even tell you how many states have Red Bulls in them now that he's in charge of, but we're lucky enough to have him headquartered here in Minnesota. Next slide. And then Camp Ripley leadership. So, Colonel Troy Fink, um, currently the garrison commander, he will be retiring in August. He goes on his uh terminal leave at the end of May. I will be replacing him. So I will become the garrison commander as of one June. And then we have a new command sergeant major, Chad Turner. He's a he's on his first year, Ryan Hoffstead, I think you remember from last year, who lives in is now the I think he works for the city of Royaltton now actually. And then Chad comes to us from the the Cushing area. So it's kind of nice to have a sergeant major who grew up in this area as well. Next slide. economic impact um from this last year just shy of $138 million that we had for an impact around uh this area as you guys know. So Camp Ripley uh employs just a hair over 800 employees. We're the largest employer in Morrison County. So a lot of those dollars and a lot of those those people that live and work at Camp Ripley live in this area. So that's great. But um one thing that's a little skewed on there is our our education. That is a statewide number. For our area up here of that 14.7 million, we're we're probably responsible for a little about four million of that in this area. Next slide. Location. Don't need to do much with that. Hasn't changed a whole lot. We haven't gained or lost any ranges or anything in our area. Next slide. All right. Some of the accomplishments have to get that slide a sec here. So for the 20 25 year 582,225 um days at at Camp Riley for soldiers

and then 59,729 local and state a inter agency partners. So we were the second busiest national guard base in the nation which is kind of amazing when you think about it with our northern climate um you know it's kind of harsh in the winter time to come train with us but for us to be the second busiest in the nation is is pretty good. So, our goal obviously is to become number one and that means we're going to compete with Ford Indiantown GAP out of Pennsylvania. Again, some of our winter training has picked up a little bit. That has increased our numbers. The uh the Air Force, the Marines, and the Coast Guard have come up every year in the winter time along with the Norwegians and the Croatians and Canadians. Um we hosted the DNR and the State Patrolmies. The State Patrol actually just graduated their class this past weekend uh in the Twin Cities. So, if you didn't know that, all your conservation officers and all your state troopers are trained at Camp Ripley. We had our 53rd Norwegian Exchange. Um, and then we also hosted the president of Croatia and then the the fourstar, the highest ranking guy in the National Guard came to visit us this summer as well. So, next slide. Uh, some construction updates. So, uh, continue to do construction on Camp Ripley. You'd keep it updated. Area 5, if you've been on Camp Ripley, used to be just a bunch of tin huts. We've taken out the 10 huts and we've replaced them with uh what we call a long house building. Their CMU or brick buildings that can house about a 100 soldiers and uh we're replacing the headquarters buildings for that area, the dining facilities and their laundry facilities as well. Um contain KTON area training area number two is infrastructure upgrades. So that still runs underneath steam. So we are going to do some major upgrades for that and get that off the steam and try to get that a little bit more modernized. Um soldier quarters. Oh, excuse me. consolidated maintenance um activities. So the CMA North did some renovations there. It was mostly mechanical uh renovations to our soldier quarters, our T buildings, they were built in the 70s and 80s, so they are due for some for some uh upgrades as well. And a lot of

this that we're doing for upgrades is is not so much cosmetic, but more mechanical. It's the HVAC systems and stuff are outdated. So we're we're increasing that. And then while we're in there, we're trying to to improve the installation and that. Um our USPFO office is getting redone. We're doing one of our big washer racks. The range control is getting redone. Uh the the aircraft hanger and then the access control point. So Camp Ripley will be receiving a new main gate into the base. So the the main gate we currently have does not meet the force protection standards. As you can imagine, you're supposed to have a lot of standoff distance and things of that nature. We've been competing for oh I've been at Ripley for 16 years. um at least 15 years we've been competing to have a new gate put in and it looks like it's on its way for FY27. So it'll be just west of the current main gate. Well, we'll create a new main gate into Camp Ripley and it'll have like a serpentine and keep the traffic lower and meet all of our force protection standards. The main gate will be closed. It'll still be there for ceremonial purposes if we need to open it, but most traffic will now enter just west of that. So, we're hoping to see that construction start in 27. Next slide, please. the museum. I'm sure many of you have driven by that and seen the the progress on that. I walked through it last last week. It's uh it's a very impressive building and should be a good staple to the area. Um they're hoping to they will have it open September to the public, but there'll be a soft opening this summer for for certain groups um to to visit that one. So, that'll be that'll be good for us at Ripley as well. the old museum was a little a little tight and a little small and so to have them moved off of Camp Ripley from a security standpoint for public and uh and for them to be able to display more of their their uh items is going to be great. So, all right, next slide, please. All right, the great slide, the noise slide. So, uh we're through March already. We had a lot of Canadians here. So the

Scottish regiment out of Thunder Bay, Canada comes down and they've been doing a lot of training with Camp Ripley and they continue to do more and more with us every year. We're actually the closest military base to them from where they're located in Canada. So they to come visit with us um in April here coming to the end. Um not a whole lot left to come on. You should maybe hear some artillery towards the end of the month and that'll roll into May and June as well. Also, uh, late April, May, and June are are the artillery months. The big concern there, obviously, is we always like to have leaves on the trees and, uh, the frost out. I think we're good with the frost, but without the leaves on the trees and stuff like that, the the noise will be a little louder than usual until it can can take some of that concussion. So, hopefully by May it'll quiet down a little bit. And then into June, we'll keep you guys posted on on when we expect to have some some of the louder months. But, at the end of June is when when they'll be moving off. And then in July we'll have like our tanks and our Bradley. So not quite as loud and uh and that'll move into August as well and September. So um pretty normal summer for us. Nothing too crazy for our numbers. So it'll be very average. And then when we move into late September, that's when our state agencies come back into play. You have all the the snow plows coming in and then we'll do our our our hunts. We uh we switched the program if you guys didn't know for the archery hunt. We used to have that large about 200 hunters would come on at it over like a a week period and and hunt. Well, we switched it now to it's open to the public from the day that archery opens up until the 31st of December. It's called I sportsman. Um if you want more information, just let us know. But it it's been it's been a pretty good program. So, as long as we've got areas open, you can come out and and archery hunt during that whole period. So, it's come over really well. Next slide, please. prescribed burns. Okay. Um yeah, we are we're about 65% through our prescribed

burns. We're going to burn just uh about 15,000 acres this year. You probably heard a couple weeks ago that we had a fire up north that burned 2,000 acres. Um it wasn't it wasn't quite what the media made it out to be. It was an area that was going to be burned the next day anyways. So, we kind of did us a favor by starting the fire. it was always contained the whole time and uh and so not a big deal but we we try to um yeah get ahead of the fires as much as possible. We rather light it than fight it and and we're trying to be as cognizant as possible with the directions that we we burn. Right. So the just be aware that sometimes you know the winds out of the south when we burn and then it switches to the north or to the west and the smoke goes where we don't want it to go. try to be good stewards of that and then make announcements as much as possible on the radio and then on our Facebook site as well. But if at any time you you see smoke from Camp Ripley and you're not tracking that we're supposed to have a fire, please call us. We we don't have any problems answering the phone and let us know because sometimes we have a lot of unexploed ordinance in our impact areas and it takes off on you and uh with the temperature changes, they'll go off on their own and start a fire. And that's kind of what that's what started that one that we had a couple weeks back. All right, community outreach. Next slide. There we go. Thank you. Um, so no open house this year. We do all of our open houses on the odd year. So 2027 will be our next open house. Um, again, Little Falls Day of Carings coming up. We'll be participating in that. Some water festivals, our speeches. Um, the gift tags. We do the Morrison County gift tags every year. Food drive. And then our blood. We're still the largest donors in blood in the area from what I understand. A little over 5,000 pints. and then working on a job shadow program through local schools schools around here for anyone who's interested in in employing at Camp Ripley, not just in the military, but with our facilities management office, which is engineering and and architecture and electrical and plumbing and and all the other shops that we have on on Camp Ripley as well. And then veteran outreach. So, right now we're about to start with our uh

disabled turkey hunt that so we have a bunch of um disabled veterans coming on to Camp Ripley and then this summer we'll do trolling for the troops over the first week in June. We we're that's a program that was started by Scott St. Sver past garrison commander where he brings in a lot of professional fishermen and they'll take uh they'll take troops out fishing either on max or on the river so they get a good opportunity to be in some really expensive boats with some really good fishermanmen and learn a few things. So it's been a really good program for us. Next slide. Uh environmental program. We have a top-notch environmental program and they continue to win awards after awards. You can see them on the upper right corner what they what they've won. Um they do a really good job for us and you can imagine the balancing act we have between soldiers training on the environment and keeping the environment as stable as possible. And we do a great job of managing with each other and and balancing out the work between what what we tear up a little bit with um training and how they repair it. And we continue to bring and restore camp back to its natural habitat as much as we possibly can. And then surveys of course. So, um, the bottom left corner, the bird there, that's a golden eagle. If you guys didn't know, we started having golden eagles come down to Camp Ripley probably eight or nine years ago. We saw the first one. They're about twice the size of a bald eagle. So, they're very large. We were able to capture a couple of them and put a little backpack on their back to track them. And what we learned is that they they winter in Minnesota where it's warmer for them and then they summer up in the Arctic. So, it's kind of interesting like that. They come to Minnesota to for a warmer climate in the winter time. But really cool bird to to have coming down by us. And then of course our bear population and and uh other things that we do surveys for. Next slide. All right. The Army readiness and protection integration program. It used to be called ACUB. We're continuing to to continue to to um go into an easement with with local and willing land owners

around Camp Ripley. Um it's always fund based, but you can see the green. That's what we've we've been able to to have an easement in. And you know what the great thing about that is it it allows us at Camp Ripley to to maintain the the land the way it was meant to be and it and it keeps us from from encroachment. So, you know, the biggest worry we have at Ripley and again, one of the reasons we do these positive community briefs is um quiet hours is really a concern to us. We we train 247. Soldiers only come up for a couple weeks and they have a lot of training to get done. And a lot of the installations currently that have a lot of urban encroachment around their bases are are finding that they need to do quiet hours. So they they can't train after 10 o'clock or 10:30 at night and and we don't want to get to that point. So this program has been a great program for us and again and the positive relationship we have with you guys helps out a ton as well. Next slide. State partnerships. I kind of hit on these already. Uh you know the DNR is office Ripley. So is the state patrol. Homeland Security just conducts training now. They used to have an office on Ripley, but they have since moved off. And then Minnesota Department of Transportation, again, all these snowplow drivers come up in September and early October to qualify and and do their certification on their snow on their plow trucks. Next slide. Uh support civil authorities. So again, uh two missions in in in the in the National Guard. We talked about the federal mission where we deploy under title 10 orders and we work directly for the president and then we have our support to civil authorities whereas when we work for the governor and that's our state mission. So, uh, the process usually happens this way or it should always happen this way. So, if you ever need to activate the National Guard or request our assistance, you know, the the incident happens, you contact the Morrison County Sheriff, so Sean Larson, he'll contact Homeland Security and then the governor will say yay or nay whether to activate the guard or not. And we've been activated quite a bit the last couple of years. Um, not so much for natural disasters, but more for that civil disturbance that we've seen on the news. So, next slide.

This is a great slide. Uh especially for you guys in Little Falls, you have a an abundance of veterans and families living in this community. I mean, it's it's it's a lot of a lot of people and they're kind of proud people. So, if anything, keep this slide handy. And if anyone comes to the city looking for help, whether it be, you know, life counseling or or yellow ribbon type events or just need some family readiness or or just they're struggling in any possible way, these are great resources that we have on Camp Ripley that that are just standing by to help anyone in the community that that needs support. Next slide. All right. Unexloded ordinance. So, um R3. So, we've noticed lately that uh well, not lately. It's kind of happened throughout the years a little bit, but um you know, you go and you clean out your grandparents house and they they were they served in whatever conflict or war and and they brought trophies home with them. Um please don't bring those to Camp Ripley. Just just call us or call 911 and we'll help. We'll we'll we'll remove any, you know, pineapple grenades or artillery rounds or whatever it might be. You'd be surprised what's come through the front gate. at Camp Ripley. Um, but just if you find anything in the house and and it's a trophy of some sort or anything at all and just give us a call and we'll or call 911 and they'll get a hold of us and we'll take care of it for you. Next slide.

All right. Kind of short, sweet, to the point. Questions for me? Who's number one? Who's number one? Fort Indian Town Gap, Pennsylvania is number one. I think they're I think they're fudging their numbers, but I can't I know that I know they're committed in the middle of Pennsylvania or what's that you were located at in Pennsylvania? I don't know exactly where they are located in Pennsylvania. I was supposed to go to a conference there this year, so I was going to spy on them a little bit and see what makes them so good, but my my conference got cancelled, but uh we he and I kind of jab each other the commander there and about who can be number one next year. So, okay.

Any other questions for me? Yeah, I own I mean I own some property bordering camper plea. Are the wolves still a problem? Um you know they kind we haven't noticed much for wolves. You know we the pack is smaller than it used to be. Um so they and they kind of

they kind of eb and flow from what the DNR guys are telling me on basic environmental guys is you know the the deer population goes up and then the wolf population goes up then the deer population goes down and then the wolf population goes down. But uh right now, you know, we had uh we had a northern pack and a southern pack on Camp Ripley. And now we just have one pack. The other pack has has left Camp Ripley. So our around our area, the wolves are down a little bit. And we do have a few collarded still that we're tracking and they're they're mainly staying on Camp Ripley for the most part.

Okay. Well, if there are any more questions, once again, I'd like to thank you for coming tonight and uh sharing what you do there and uh thank you for your service and uh also thank you for the uh being a good neighbor, I guess, with us because it's been a it's been a good collaboration between camp and us. So, once again, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. No, appreciate it. Again, if you guys have any questions at all or anything, don't don't hesitate to give us a call at Camper. We are an open door and um be prepared. You're going to see a lot more uniforms in town with summer coming. So, you saw the numbers. So, hopefully you guys uh you're taking over for uh Colonel Feet. Good luck.

Yeah. Thank you. I'll do I'll do my best. So, I'm sure you will. All right. Thank you guys. Thank you.

Okay, we'll move on to the consent agenda. Under consent agenda for tonight, we have the animal control report for March 2026, receive appoint seasonal golf course and pro shop attendance. Golf, accept and appoint. Building report February 2026 and March 2026, receive fire report March 2026. Receive Heritage Preservation Commission minutes.

What is the wish of the council?

I'll make a motion to approve. Second. Motion by council member Gos. Second by council member Glaze. Any discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? I opposed. Carries. Public hearings and letings. We have none. Old business. We have none. So, we'll move on to new business. The first item under new business is policy 94, external agency funding request. Alex,

thank you, Council President. So, what you see before you is just us looking to formalize our process um regarding the nonprofits that request funds from the city each year. Uh right now, we do have five organizations that we've been providing funding to. We have not had an actual application or policy regarding how this took place. So, we figured it was time that we created one, just so we made our expectations clear. With this policy, it does request that any nonprofit looking to request funds does so um using our form by the last business day in May. Now, this is not to say that the council cannot consider any requests outside of budget cycle. However, we are requesting that it is submitted then so that we have all the information we need when it does come time for budget process. Uh this is actually based off of something that exists within the county today. It's been a a very functioning model for them. So, we figured we would adopt it for the city use. So, we are just looking for council to um approve policy 94.

What is the wish of the council? Move to approve policy number 94. I'll second motion by council member Lunberg, second by council member Meyer. Any discussion? The only thing that I have is when do you plan on starting this? This year or is this for next year? It would be for fiscal year 27. Okay. Um with this being approved, we would be emailing it out to our partners and any possible other organization that might want to utilize it um sometime this month or Yep. kind of like a short short period to try to get it in.

Correct. Yes. And we understand that this year it might be a little bit of a shorter timeline, but thankfully our partners, the five that we do regularly work with, they know this is coming. They usually have their number in mind. Most haven't actually changed their dollar amount in years. So, it shouldn't be much of a surprise with that. Um, but again, we're we're happy to work with them, especially as we go towards the 27 budgeting cycle. So, you're going to ask him in May for 27 money? Are you going to ask him in 27 for 28 money? Correct. Yes. In 27 for 28. We will be beginning the budget process in May. So we want to make sure that we have all the requests as early as possible for that budgeting process. But are you doing it for next year or so? May would be for the 27 budget. Okay.

Any other discussion? Oh, I would just like to clarify that we're not asking them for anything. They're asking us. Right. Any others? Hearing none. All those in favor? Opposed? Carries. Item B, ARPA funds usage. Alex.

Thank you, council president. So, this one is on the handout you received uh the ARPA dollars that was received by the city pretty much over COVID. Back in 21 and 22, the city made their best estimate as to what these dollars would need to be utilized for at that time. We were able to allocate that across various things such as um child care, economic development, radios for PD, uh broadband with our wastewater plant, etc. So, in the annual reporting that we are going through, we did find uh a few items that there wasn't really clear documentation to my to the best of our knowledge, we believe that it was a a dollar set aside that we believed would be very useful in the coming future. Turns out um our our budget process was not as we had initially planned. So Sony has been working with the League of Minnesota Cities to see what we can do and if there's ways that we can shift some of the dollars over. We did get it confirmed that we can reallocate those funds. There are only certain things that are eligible fund usage for ARPA. So, we are looking for council to approve the um reclassification of $65,695 um to be moved to the equipment fund which would cover the expense on a front-end loaner frontend loader that was purchased in 24. It does need to be used for items that have already been purchased. So essentially the dollars instead of going towards economic development efforts which do not have actual specific projects assigned to it today it would go into the equipment fund which is more of a relevant item in our today's needs. At the end of the day the city is not spending losing shifting dollars whatsoever. It's it's just moving the dollar amounts from economic development in a vague term to our equipment fund from for the front-end

loader. We also believe that this shift will be uh a positive move towards any auditing questions. Let's switch to the council. I'll make a motion to approve. Second it. Motion by council member Meyer, second by council member Goshik. Any discussion? Yes, council president. Is this $65,000 the last of the ARPA money now? Yeah. So, we received all of the funds back in 21 and 22. So, we haven't received any additional. It's just this is the last of the dollars that needs to be allocated to something settled in allocation for our annual reporting because we have to have all of that taken care of by the end of the year.

Thank you. Um, so you're paying off the front end loader and it won't be included in the budget for 27 then. So, this is a a piece of equipment we've already paid for. Oh, okay. So, it's paying ourselves back for that. It's just adding those dollars into the equipment fund to pay that fund back for it. So, that money then will go back into the equipment fund. Correct. We're just taking it or it isn't in the economic development bucket, if you will. Um, it's been sitting, I believe, in the general fund. So, we're just finding it a home and we believe that this is the better use of it at this time.

So, Council President, if I may. Um, so will it be used for future equipment then? Yes, I will. Okay. Any other discussion? I I would be lying if I said I couldn't keep track of what's going on here. They're just move money around, right? I I I mean it's equipment we've already paid for. So we're basically just saying this is going to the front-end loader when really it's not because the front-end loader is already paid for.

Correct. The state or the requirements for the reporting of ARPA dollars, we have to have that all clearly laid out. So and then ARPA's done. Yes. Um, we may have some more internal reports, but yes, the funding all needs to be taken care of by the end of this year. Uh, so we had $65,000 in unallocated funds that needed to be allocated somewhere more or less. Yes. But they don't have for purposes the end of the year. By the end of the year, yeah,

that's $65,000. So it can go to anything that we need for the equipment fund, right? Yes, those. Yes. It seems a little convoluted just because of the nature of the funds. We just need to make sure that it's clearly laid out. So if we want to buy something for $65,000, it's not going to cost the city anything because we already have funds. All we're so we are not increasing the dollars that we had two months ago. We already had these dollars. It's just deciding what bucket it's sitting in. Any other discussion?

Yeah, I guess more more answers are leading to more questions for me. So, what difference is what buckets in the general fund, equipment fund? We don't really have these dollars allocated. the the dollars in the equipment fund are set for equipment and I understand for our annual reporting we need to have this clarified for so this is more of an audit issue correct okay well I guess I can get behind that I just yeah we have to report how we spent the ARPA dollars right yes and our our um 25 report is due at the end of next week

okay I mean I'm just thinking out loud here to to me I don't know why wouldn't we get $65,000 closer to having that clubhouse paid off. It is not an eligible ARPA fund use. Well, it's got brand new HVAC in it. That was one of the things. And it couldn't be applied to the splash pad. Um the Sony had an extensive conversation with the League of Minnesota Cities today about this and it was recommended that this would be the best course of action. Okay.

Any other discussion hearing? None. All those in favor? I oppose carries. Announcements. The only one I'd like to reiterate is the Barrett um touring the facility and discussion on uh Thursday the 23rd at 5:00 p.m. Just meet out Barrett. Just meet out at Barrett. Yep. Any other announcements? Hearing none, then we will adjourn at 8:05.
