Good evening. It is 5.30 p.m. on time to do some urban business. We are gathered here for the meeting of the city council of Aberdeen. Our regular meeting takes place on September 8th and we are happy to welcome you all on the stand and the online participants. I'm sorry, Mayor Schamann. He can't participate today. Jordan, we should check the presence. Please.

I have to go now.

1:03Speaker 8

I am committed to the flag of the United States.

1:20 – 1:50Speaker 5

The first point is the approval of today's agenda. We will discuss some adjustments. But I have a request for approval, as it has been changed. We have a request from Younger and a second from Ward.

1:50Speaker 4

All for it?

1:55 – 3:37Speaker 5

And we approve two protocols this evening. The first from our regular session on August 24th and the other from our special session on August 31st, a week later. So I have a request to approve both protocols. In Ordnung, wir haben einen Antrag. Und einen zweiten. Alle dafür bitte angeben. Gibt es Gegenstimmen? Danke. Es hat sich noch niemand für das offene Forum angemeldet. Werfen wir also einen Blick auf neun Punkte des Konsenskalenders. Eine interessante Vielfalt. We have a proclamation that we will briefly take and read. We have guests who are here because they are waiting for this proclamation. I will read them in the official proclamation of the mayor in view of the fact that specialists for direct support, individual services and support for people with mental and developmental disorders in South Dakota and in view of the fact that almost 3,000 specialists for direct support for 21 providers of municipal support, providers of municipal services and the South Dakota Developmental Center are working. In view of the fact that communities, regardless of their disability, are strengthened and enriched by the integration of all members of society, and in view of the fact that the Week of Recognition of Special Forces for Direct Support is an opportunity to recognize people with mental and developmental disorders and to thank them for their service to South Dakota and their families.

3:39Speaker 6

Therefore, I declare Travis Shaman, mayor of Aberdeen, herewith the period from 14th to 18th September, i.e. next week to week, the recognition of professionals for direct support.

3:48 – 4:09Speaker 5

Please join me to recognize these professionals for their invaluable service to our communities. This is also an opportunity for a photo. Bitte versammeln Sie den Rat, wenn es Ihnen nichts ausmacht, sich für dieses Foto hinter mich zu stellen. Wir bitten alle, die hier sind, nach vorne zu kommen, um ein Foto zu machen.

4:24 – 4:46Speaker 4

Der Blick auf International. And Paul is also a good painter.

4:48Speaker 2

Think about it. You will work with it.

4:54Speaker 7

Thank you. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3.

5:38 – 5:51Speaker 5

I apply for permission. You are city councilor Ronar, who is a little faster today than me.

5:51Speaker 6

We have already read the PR proclamation. We haven't taken it yet. We thought we'd get it.

5:58 – 7:31Speaker 5

Thank you for making all of this possible. A request from René and a second from NovaStrip. All for the approval of the voting calendar, mayor. I'm sorry. I want to be included in C. I'm also included in C. Good to know. Thank you for the notification. With the content, with everyone who is for it, please indicate. No, indicate. Is there an opposition? Okay, approved. I also noticed one more thing that I would like to mention here at Punkt H&I. There were some release dates that were revised or corrected on September 10th and 17th. I also wanted to point out that the passenger numbers at the airport really recorded impressive growth in the annual comparison. Over the last few years, but especially in the last two years, there has been an increase of about 8 or 7 percent. From 2024 to 2025, the years were really good and we are looking forward to these positive trends in the activities from and after Aberdeen. Okay, we don't have old businesses, but we have 11 new points. Our first session is a yearly and very important public hearing and possible first reading of the regulation 206.991. This is the budget for 2027. We will give our city council some time for that. Yes, thank you.

7:38 – 9:05Speaker 6

Since we started our work in December last year, checked our household and made the preparations for our household in 2027, it is an honor for us to have this opportunity and this agenda item for a public hearing and possible first reading of Ordinance 206 of Schoen 901 to authorize funds and the financing of projects and services in the calendar year 2027, as recommended and suggested by me and my city. The proposal for the household was submitted on 3 August. Basically, a lot of work has been put into the household and I thank the employees of our finance department and everyone who was involved in it. This is an opportunity in this public hearing to hear contributions or comments from the public and to further explain or articulate questions about our household. I would like to explain that I have received contributions from the members of the Council and that I will announce the applications for funding and the funds provided in the meeting on September 21. Also, there is an idea for a quick change that Jordan and I have identified. I will let Jordan explain that and then we would like to show the public where our household can be found on our city website. We will show it on our monitor so that people can see it. Jordan, if that doesn't matter, would you like to talk about our little change here?

9:06 – 14:16Speaker 7

Thank you, Dave. In the course of the household arrangement, there were many moving parts and we identified a few things that we had to optimize compared to what was distributed on Friday in our household package of the city council and on our website to the public. And they are described. I think I'll just describe what that was. The first is a change in our health and social benefits. The reduction is 120,000, but there will be a corresponding increase in our contributions to economic development for this amount. The net effect of this is zero. It was simply categorized in the wrong section. In addition, we have summarized our business, our district, for the city administration in our general fund and thus a fund. Dabei habe ich es versäumt, diese Aktivität in den allgemeinen Fonds aufzunehmen. Es wurden also einfach zwei Fonds zu einem zusammengelegt. Was früher zwei waren, ist jetzt einer. Das vereinfacht die Finanzberichterstattung. Sie müssen nur daran denken, diese bei der Berichterstattung zusammenzufassen. So these are the two changes that I have made since the household was distributed to the public. Should I continue to demonstrate that? Okay, gladly. So what I am sharing here with the public and the viewers on the screen is our household plan or our regulation. This is the legally established household that we have to present. Das ist natürlich nicht das, was ihr braucht, um zu verstehen, was da vor sich geht. Das ist sehr umfangreich. Der Text ist sehr klein, aber er sagt, was er sagt und tut, was er tun soll. Ich werde versuchen, hier zu den Haushaltsdokumenten zu wechseln, die tatsächlich mehr Sinn ergeben. Sie sollten gleich das Haushaltsbuch sehen, das auf unserer städtischen Website verfügbar ist. Sie können dieses Dokument abrufen, indem Sie auf die Seite unseres Finanzbüros gehen und auf Stadthaushalt klicken. O steht hier als PDF-Download zur Verfügung. This is a kind of new page, the page about the city council. It describes what the council is, where it exists, and it also contains examples from the past. They are linked at another point. This is just another place where the public can find this document. New this year is the introduction of an OpenGov online budget, which can be called up via this link on the council's website. This is the start page. This is what it looks like. This is a content directory with all departments that submit applications. All systems that are in the printed household book are available here. In the course of implementation, we will add more. This online website is basically first and foremost exclusive. For our activities funded from the general fund, Sie wird alle Anlagen enthalten, die in unserem Haushaltsbuch enthalten sind, aber alles ist hier zu finden. Wir können beispielsweise auf eine Abteilung wie das Finanzbüro klicken. Es gibt eine nette Beschreibung dazu. Es gibt einige Diagramme, die die Aktivitäten veranschaulichen und einige Leistungsindikatoren, die wir ebenfalls eingefügt haben. I click here again on some systems. These are the same systems that you see in the printed form, that you may have seen over the years and that include your general activities. It displays the same data in the graphics and diagrams that you may have gotten used to. Of course, we also have our household regulations, which I have shared with you. What I like is that it is much easier to make a change than to print a book after the other and rebuild it. This is very, very labor and resource intensive. So we do not intend to make quick and frequent adjustments. It is only a much more modern and simplified version to communicate such a complex matter. Therefore, I definitely appreciate this aspect of OpenGov in this household. So, once again to our housing proposals. We have a general overview here, as I described it. It basically only refers to the general household. All departments are accessible here. And once again, this housing regulation. You can find it on our website for the city hall. It is very easy to click on in this way, very accessible and we will add more as we go along. We basically received the keys to it at the end of July. It was a pleasure to develop this. At the first time it was very labor-intensive, but it will get easier as we move forward. This is something that we have used to budget staff services. We have used it to manage the business. All of this is available here. Therefore, it is good to be able to use the same platform to tell the story in our household. So again, if you go to our website for urban finance, this website for the urban household, the proposal and the household are both in this domain. And that brings the household together. I would like to ask this evening for the approval of this regulation. I have presented and distributed this change and the employees recommend the approval as a household regulation in the provided form.

14:19 – 14:35Speaker 5

Since this is a public hearing point, I would like to take a moment to ask if any of the attendees would like to say something about this hearing, about the regulation, or... Any questions from the council?

14:39Speaker 8

Mr. Deputy Mayor?

14:40 – 15:04Speaker 2

I would like to thank Jordan and his team for this transparent website. I think this is a great model for transparency in the government and I'm sure it was a matter of the heart. Thank you very much for your work and for everything being correct. The only question I have for the entire budget. I've read every word. It's just fun. Why are food on wheels priced at $5,000? Food on wheels?

15:04Speaker 6

I think it was basically because you could serve fewer customers.

15:18Speaker 1

I think that's the case.

15:26 – 15:38Speaker 5

I also wanted to thank Jordan for the website. I think that's a great opportunity for the public to take a picture, to understand and check things.

15:38Speaker 4

So yes, thank you very much to everyone who worked together.

15:43Speaker 5

Das ist wirklich eine tolle Sache. Ja, ich würde das noch einmal betonen und sagen, dass es auf sehr übersichtliche, einfache und zugängliche Weise präsentiert wird. Gut gemacht.

15:52 – 16:07Speaker 2

Herr stellvertretender Bürgermeister, ich habe noch eine Frage. Ich denke, das wäre hilfreich. Vielleicht haben Sie das ja schon vor einem Monat getan, aber ich möchte es noch einmal kurz durchführen. Da dies Ihr erster Haushalt als Stadtmanager ist, erzählen Sie doch bitte ein wenig, wie Sie an die Sache herangegangen sind, damit die Leute verstehen, wie kooperativ Sie dabei waren.

16:08 – 18:36Speaker 6

Ja, vielen Dank für die Gelegenheit. When I entered the position, it was very important for me to meet with the department leaders to find out where we were with our household last year, how we had dealt with each other and how we wanted to set up the household for next year. Through the early meetings with the department leaders and the request for their opinion, I got a pretty good picture of where the individual employees were and what possibilities and challenges they had. At the same time, I began to interrogate all department heads and all city employees to understand their position and to find out what they thought of their department. In particular, I wanted to know what possibilities the household could offer us. And then I started dealing with individual departments and their individual posts. I went through the individual things that we had actually issued in the annual comparison, line by line, and tried to assess where we were and whether we were above or below the budget. Then I took a look at where we are this year and where we are around the middle of the year. The information we had year after year really helped us to understand where we should be in the future. Then we looked at them individually and individually and identified possibilities where we might be able to shorten our budget a little. Or areas that we have to expand. This had great effects. And then the plan for investment improvements was an important topic. The attitude of our new engineer with his fresh perspective made a big difference for us. I will talk about this next time in our next agenda on investment improvements. I think that in the beginning it was mainly about communication. the expectations and basically the department leaders ask how we can do it better and challenge ourselves. If you look at some posts, we have said a little more about some things that we can justify. But there were also posts where we could see that there were opportunities to take something back and try to keep the line and make it better in the future and make it better in the future. So it is definitely a complex matter, but it was well-invested time to understand early what this household does, how it benefits the city and how we provide services and procedures. While we are talking here now and this will become a finished project per product in the next 1-2 months, we are already starting with the household for next year or even for 2028.

18:36Speaker 5

The input is of invaluable value.

18:38Speaker 6

And it's just great to have experienced financial staff and department heads who can help me.

18:46Speaker 5

There are definitely possibilities.

18:47 – 19:52Speaker 6

And if you create a household plan, you want to give your best. Ideally, you would like to see that this post is fully executed and well issued. But at the end of the year we don't want any remittances. We don't want to finance things or come back and say, hey, we had things that we gave too much for. Sometimes we can't plan for all emergencies with public safety and emergency measures. That is a component of a household, but sometimes they are fixed household plans where we want to keep the boundaries. And the employees and the cooperation with Jordan and the department leaders were of invaluable value. It was a great experience. I learned a lot and we tried to keep the boundaries in many things. When we met with the council, we realized that this was the economic aspect, because we saw an increase in the turnover tax. We also understand that this kind of flow flows while we experience a growth in the turnover tax, which may not last forever. And we also understand the economic factors that influence things like fuel, materials and accessories, as well as inflationary things. So we have tried to build up something that is responsible and not gone too quickly.

19:52Speaker 4

So yes, thank you for the question.

19:55 – 20:12Speaker 5

A good overview. I will close the public hearing and ask for the first reading. John, would you please? Oh, I'm sorry. I'd rather skip that. I need an application and a second vote for it.

20:13Speaker 6

Thank you. Vote.

20:14Speaker 5

All right, we have an application from you. Jordan, now please.

20:24Speaker 1

Febbe Gdeim. Libert. Irkun Cancel.

20:28Speaker 8

Nelson. Nostro. Deputy Mayor Johnson.

20:32 – 20:51Speaker 5

You. The application has been accepted without opposition. Our next point is the opening of a public hearing and the possible first reading and final approval of Resolution 206.09 CCR, which is about the investment plan for the period 2031. Thank you very much.

20:51 – 21:43Speaker 6

As I just said, the other important component of our household is the investment plan. This requires considerable investments in our community. Year after year we see what he does for our community. An example this year is the construction of our North Dakota Street Road and this project, as well as the water line and our water tower. So there are many things that flow into the investment plan and I repeat, it requires a lot of work with the department heads. If anyone has any questions, you can see him at many different places. He is publicly visible in the town hall and we have him online, as we have shown here. I would like you to go to page 44. It is in our application. I would like to briefly go over the submitted amounts and a section that I would like to draw your attention to. If you look at the plan for investments in public works and the amount that is intended for 2027, there are some variables here.

21:43Speaker 5

And as I said, the setting up of a new urban engineering offers new opportunities.

21:49 – 23:53Speaker 6

We are currently in the process of judging and evaluating things, where we stand, where we stand. We are checking the content. We know that we will carry out a study on internal irrigation to find out how we can further improve the irrigation in our community and re-certify the output. We will carry out a study on dewatering that will be very effective. Wir haben auch ein großes Straßenbauprojekt, aber das gehört uns nicht. Normalerweise bauen wir jedes Jahr eine neue Straße und im nächsten Jahr kümmern wir uns um die Spanplattendecke und die Routinearbeiten. Normalerweise bauen wir aber nicht jedes Jahr eine neue Straße. Es gibt eine Variable, über die ich mit Ihnen sprechen möchte. Vor kurzem hatten wir ein Treffen mit dem Verkehrsministerium und dem Projekt Sixth Avenue Bridge. Wir trafen uns mit den staatlichen Ingenieuren und dem technischen Leiter und sprachen über die Fortsetzung der Bemühungen, eine Brücke zu entwickeln, die die Möglichkeit for pedestrian crossings. In addition, we wanted to make the bridge safer and more aesthetic. So late in the game, there could be another opportunity for the bridge project to be postponed by a year, if we can agree that there is a design that could be improved for pedestrian crossings. So it is not decided yet. The contracts for the bridge have not yet been granted. But at our meeting with the Ministry of Transport at the last minute there is the possibility that we may get a measure and pedestrian crossing. I do not promise anything, but at the same time we have some flexibility in our budget for public work. If we don't build a bridge on 6th Avenue next year with the Ministry of Transport, there may be a few things that Lief and I and the employees of the public construction industry can determine as improvements to our roads, which would ultimately supplement or strengthen the work if the bridge on 6th Avenue is closed. Lief, I want to pass this on to you because you played the role. You came. I gave him about two hectic weeks to look at the public works. This is a large part of the CIP. Of course, roads are a big investment, like everything else, but I would like to give him the opportunity to talk about his thoughts, how we could deal with things going in one direction or another.

23:55 – 26:18Speaker 3

As far as the CIP itself is concerned, it was, as Dave already said, a kind of fire test, because there are many aspects and you have to deal well with the public money. You know, we have our software for the load status index for various technologies and information to check which roads require this or not. In addition, we take into account the traffic numbers and then we compare with the necessary projects. Is there a sewage system in this project? Is there water? We don't want to double it. And we plan and think about what needs to be done. In this sense, we have taken over some of the things that came from the previous department heads, with the intention of taking a closer look at the planning process in the year 2027 and making sure that we are all on the same page, be it with the different department heads, with the different public statements and with Dave's instructions. When it comes to our planning, we have, for example, a study on wastewater collection at work. We have a study on indoor irrigation at work and there could be some improvements that result from these studies. The goal of these measures is to investigate what needs to be done in the future to better prepare for it and to be reactive instead of proactive. That is part of our goal. Our employees and our departments have looked at this. As Dave already mentioned, there are certain aspects of the Sixth Avenue Bridge. This year we have made some efforts, both the employees and the Office for Public Works, to improve potential local traffic lines that we expect on our 3rd or 10th Avenue in Goodrich and on certain streets that most people will drive on. We have planned this at the same time, because if the project is implemented and we have less traffic on 6th Avenue near the bridge, we can then make improvements for the rainwater and plan these aspects. These were my thoughts on the CIP itself. I would also like to add that the extensive investments in our CIP, the water treatment plant and the investments in our water treatment plant, as well as in various other things continue. However, I think this is a good plan for capital improvement and the employees recommend the approval. We are happy to answer questions on all aspects of this plan.

26:23Speaker 5

Lassen Sie mich hier noch einmal die Gelegenheit für Eingaben geben, da dies eine öffentliche Anhörung ist. Gibt es Fragen von den Zuschauern?

26:34 – 26:46Speaker 5

Gibt es Fragen aus dem Rat? Wir schließen die öffentliche Anhörung. Zum Plan zur Kapitalverbesserung. Ich werde einen Antrag auf Genehmigung stellen.

26:47Speaker 8

Dann wird er genehmigt. Antrag von Nielsen, unterstützt von Wort.

26:54 – 27:06Speaker 5

Have I understood that correctly? Once again, thank you very much. Jordan, let's go for the round.

27:08 – 27:19Speaker 8

Representative Nordstrom. Nielsen. E. Conger. E. Ward. E. Wee. Fergie. Or E. Deputy Mayor Johnson. E. The application has been approved.

27:25 – 27:49Speaker 5

Das waren sehr wichtige Punkte auf unserer Tagesordnung A und B, die sich baffen wir uns mit C und D, die sich beide auf Einzelhandelslizenzen beziehen. Wir werden zuerst C für eine Lizenz für Malzgetränke und landwirtschaftlichen Wein für Bibi's Chophouse in der 1416 Avenue Southwest behandeln.

27:51Speaker 6

Gibt es hier jemanden, der sich zu dieser öffentlichen Anhörung äußern möchte?

27:56Speaker 5

Since no one is reporting, we conclude the public hearing and take an application for approval.

28:00Speaker 2

Application for approval.

28:02Speaker 5

Application from Libert. Second application from Nielsen. There is no discussion. Council member Runan.

28:15Speaker 8

4. 2. Econge. 1. Norstrup, the representative of the local government.

28:24 – 28:45Speaker 5

The application has been accepted. And D is a public hearing and possible approval of a license for the sale of wine and apple wine for the same location. Bibi's Job House. Does anyone want to say something? Since no one is reporting, we close the hearing and vote on one application for approval.

28:46Speaker 2

Application for approval.

28:49Speaker 5

An application from Watt, supported by Norstrup. Mr. Jordan, please let us begin with the name of the applicant.

28:54Speaker 8

Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Nelson. Member of the Congress, Mr. Anderte. Member of the Board of Directors, Ms. Bechtel. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal.

29:03 – 30:31Speaker 5

Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Bernal. Wir planen eine Sondersitzung für kommenden Montagabend um 17.30 Uhr im AV Aberdeen Civic Theater, das sich einen halben Block östlich des Rathauses befindet, in dem wir uns heute Abend befinden. And I just want to make a brief introduction to this session and give some guidelines that we will consider as a group this evening and may be approved. So we have a timetable for the public process and for the processing published by the Council. Please note that there is currently a moratorium for Rechenzentren innerhalb der Stadtgrenzen gilt, das am 18. November ausläuft. Bis dahin werden wir am Montagabend diese dritte Sitzung abhalten, zu der wir Bürger einladen. Es wird einen Registrierungsprozess im Theater geben, bei dem sich alle registrieren können, die ihre Gedanken, Anregungen, Empfehlungen, Wünsche oder

30:33Speaker 6

would like to say something like that.

30:38 – 31:52Speaker 5

This is not an opportunity for debates, is it? Crossfire. This is not an event. The city council should listen. That's why we are happy about contributions from people. Similar to our open forum, where we allow contributions at the beginning of every regular session. Die grundlegende Zeitspanne beträgt drei Minuten für jeden Redner. Es gibt ein paar Ausnahmen, die wir erläutern werden und bei denen eine Präsentation länger als drei Minuten dauern kann. However, these are procedures that should regulate the participation of the public. They are carried out regardless of the position of a speaker, whether for or against, or of a different opinion. Registration takes place in the lobby area. Registration is possible until 6 p.m. So that's 30 minutes after the beginning of the session, which starts at 5.30 p.m. The speakers are called up in the order of their registration. Jeder hat nur einmal die Gelegenheit zu sprechen, bis alle registrierten Redner die Gelegenheit hatten, gehört zu werden.

31:57Speaker 6

Wir werden ein Podium mit Mikrofon im Theater haben und die registrierten Personen werden gefragt.

32:04Speaker 5

Die Reihenfolge der Registrierung wird auf einem Bildschirm angezeigt. Außerdem werden wir eine Warteschlange für die Personen bilden, die als nächstes sprechen werden.

32:15Speaker 6

Ich möchte noch kurz auf weitere wichtige Punkte...

32:25 – 33:32Speaker 5

In addition to this meeting, there will of course be opportunities for written comments and materials, if anyone wants to be heard, but cannot participate. These comments and supportive information can be transmitted to the city employees or directly to a city council member. In both cases, for distribution to the council, regardless of whether someone wants to speak at the meeting. And these e-mails or written comments and supporting materials are not read aloud during the session. Just for information. Once again, the purpose of this session on September 14th is not to say goodbye to an organization. There are still various other steps to be taken. Two weeks later, the staff will, for example, present a proposal, a proposed data set or a regulation. In the following week, the Council will review and possibly discuss a proposal for a zone allocation regulation. Later in October, there will be another public hearing.

33:32Speaker 4

A public hearing.

33:36 – 33:57Speaker 5

On October 20th. On October 26th. und dann möglicherweise am 2. November eine zweite Lesung einer Verordnung über Rechenzentren. Mit dieser langfristigen Perspektive möchten wir, dass die Leute verstehen, worum es bei der Sitzung am Montag geht. Es handelt sich um eine andere Sache.

33:57Speaker 4

Wir freuen uns darauf und werden mit den Parametern für jede Zeit und Engagement so lange weitermachen, wie wir müssen.

34:06 – 34:20Speaker 5

Gibt es Fragen aus dem Rat zu dem, was wir hier besprechen? Mr. Braun, is there anything else you would like to address?

34:20Speaker 6

Mr. Representative Böber.

34:22 – 35:53Speaker 6

But a few relatively minor changes on the screen that I would like to make to the proposed proceedings. And then I would like to ask the Council to formally approve these for the purposes of the preceding special session. On page 2, paragraph 6, there was however a typo error and rule 7 must be changed to rule 8. And there it is about the assurance of time and the consideration of speakers. I wanted to make these changes. That was a typo error. And then in paragraph 10 there were some changes to the vocabulary to better correspond to our manual requirements or suggestions on dealing with public comments. And that's why we made these changes in paragraph 10 to match them with our manual. I don't want to use a language that we're not used to. I have asked for it and Jordan has no problem with it, but we will suggest that these changes, which you see marked in paragraph 10 in red, be taken into account. Otherwise I would not have any further changes. However, I would like to ask that the Council change the procedure in accordance with these red lines and then, if there are no further changes, approve these changes.

35:53Speaker 7

No, no, no. I will make a request.

36:00 – 36:31Speaker 5

Is there any further comments before we vote? Wir können das mit einer kurzen Abstimmung erledigen. Wer dafür ist, bitte mit Ich markieren.

36:32Speaker 8

Wer dagegen?

36:36Speaker 4

Es wird einstimmig angenommen.

36:37Speaker 5

Also nochmal. Das wird eine faire, geordnete und effiziente Möglichkeit sein, die Beteiligung zu fördern.

36:44Speaker 6

Es ist Ihre Gelegenheit, gehört zu werden. Die Mitarbeiter der Stadt werden anwesend sein.

36:50Speaker 5

Der Stadtrat wird anwesend sein. Die gesamte Stadtführung möchte Ihre Ideen und Beiträge hören und wir halten Sie hier ab.

36:58Speaker 4

We are looking forward to Monday.

37:05 – 37:21Speaker 5

Point F is the possible approval of payment application number 3 for improvements in the drainage channels at the height of 20.093 to the Municipal Pipe Tool Company from Hudson, Iowa. We will show you the moment.

37:23Speaker 3

Yes, this payment application is for the decontamination of the wastewater channels. This is a release of the agreement. The project is completed and the employees recommend the recommendation for approval.

37:30 – 37:42Speaker 5

Application for approval. We have an application from Ward and a second from Nielsen. Are there any questions? Jordan, please.

37:42Speaker 1

Dr. McVitroni. Libert. Ward. E. Conger.

37:50Speaker 5

We now deal with point G, the possible approval of the payment application 11 for a water tower and a power line in the height of 81, so 189, 098 for the construction of Aberdeen according to system A.

38:07 – 38:39Speaker 6

Alif, please explain. Yes, this payment application number 11 is for plant A, as you have already mentioned, domi construction work for work on the power line that supplies the new water tower. This includes concrete road surface, walkway, boulders, asphalt road surface, carrying layer and power line pipes as well as their accessories. These works also include the cross-section of the power line dam, which was added by change order number 1. Originally, this was not included in the contract due to the lack of approval. After the approval was given, these works were approved.

38:39Speaker 4

This change order or this pass includes the scope of the performance and the recommendations of the staff. Application for approval.

38:47Speaker 5

We have one application from Liewel and a second from Ward. Then there will be a discussion. Thank you, Liewel. Please continue, Jordan, with the presentation.

38:58Speaker 4

Ratsmitglied Nordstrom.

39:00Speaker 1

Dörsen. Hallo. De Concha. Waag. Wiebel. Hallo. Boor. Hallo. Braun.

39:06Speaker 8

Stellvertretender Bürgermeister.

39:07 – 39:25Speaker 5

Der Antrag ist angenommen. Die letzten vier Punkte unter Neue Geschäfte betreffen alle den Flughafen. Wir begrüßen Dustin, der für Richcooker leinspringt. Er ist heute Abend Uxflügelmann. Fahren Sie mit Punkt H fort, wenn Sie bereit sind.

39:27Speaker 4

We have a few points under who.

39:30Speaker 6

Most of them concern the expansion of our airport terminal. That's the calculation.

39:37 – 40:02Speaker 4

18 of Hampton Associates in the height of 3000. We also have the calculation. 6 of Hampton Associates in the height of... And then the salary estimate number 7.

40:02Speaker 6

At a rate of 829. And our overview.

40:10Speaker 4

At our last meeting of the airport board, we have the approval of payments for us and Associates.

40:16Speaker 6

Revenue 6 for active engineering services. Revenue number 18 for construction and administration services. And the salary estimate construction.

40:24Speaker 4

Recommended for completed work until August 22.

40:27 – 40:44Speaker 6

The funding for this project is made possible by SV 144 in the amount of 1.2 million dollars. A federal grant of 800,000 dollars. A federal grant of 64,000 dollars. And the local authority will pay 60,000 dollars. Is that all on the subject?

40:59Speaker 5

Und wann ist der voraussichtliche Fertigstellungstermin für die Terminalerweiterung?

41:03Speaker 4

Und ich glaube, wir sind im Wesentlichen fertig.

41:15 – 41:36Speaker 5

Ich komme zum nächsten Punkt. Machen wir weiter, wir machen gleich weiter. Wir werden das zusammenfassen und alles für den Zahlungsabschluss vorbereiten. Ich beantrage die Genehmigung der Zahl. Ordnung. Ward hat einen Antrag und Monal einen zweiten. Jordan, bitte rufen Sie die Namen auf.

41:37Speaker 8

Ratsmitglied Ron. Ich bin Verwerfer. Label. Bin Ward. E-Kongo. Nelson. Ich trufe.

41:44Speaker 5

Der Vertretende Bürger. Bin der Antrag angenommen. Jetzt kommen wir zu E.

41:50 – 42:39Speaker 6

Excuse me, I didn't want to read that to you. In his regular meeting on September 3, the Aviation Commission approved the payment of the payments from Helms & Associates for the support for the acquisition of a PCA or pre-conditioned aircraft according to the contract signed between the city of Aberdeen Airport and Helms & Associates on June 17, 2025. The project funding is 95 percent through the Bundesbahn and 5 percent through the city. The PCA unit is to be completed in the third quarter of 2026.

42:47Speaker 5

Delivery and installation. So you have 22 days.

42:51Speaker 6

Is that likely?

42:56 – 43:12Speaker 5

We will soon find out more about it. 372. I'm just relieved about such a small amount. So a request from Monet and supported by Lee Beltel. Thank you. Please let's move on. Jordan.

43:13Speaker 8

State member Nordstrom. Nils.

43:15Speaker 1

Welcome. Hello. Hello. Hello.

43:19Speaker 8

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

43:47 – 44:03Speaker 6

Our overview of this proposed or possible measure to approve the payment to Helms & Associates bill 9 and the amount that I have already announced. The overview will take place on the regular session on September 3.

44:03Speaker 4

The airport committee approved the approval of the payment for Helms & Associates bill number 9 for design services, which is up to 30 percent.

44:13Speaker 5

The project funding is made up of 95% by the federal government, 2.5% by the country and 2.5% by the city.

44:16Speaker 8

Marc Schmidt, Mitch and I have seen some of the shortcomings of this development project. It looks pretty good.

44:24Speaker 4

I'm taking an application. An application from Norab, second from Ward.

44:42 – 45:04Speaker 5

And S-SURE stands for snow removal devices, of course. And the city has acquired some really beautiful, highly developed snow removal devices, of which two are currently in the building. Although, as far as I know, dismantling one of the front turning units is required.

45:04Speaker 6

Yes, we do not drive with mounted front wheels or turnstiles.

45:12Speaker 4

You have to be hung on one side and you have to clamp them in, so to speak. So it fits very tight and we want to damage our very nice devices.

45:19Speaker 5

A few more considerations for the expansion of the S2 building are, I think, that they will also set up our airfield lighting shaft there.

45:45Speaker 3

So we do several things at the same time and are very happy about it.

45:50Speaker 1

I have a request.

45:54Speaker 5

Order. A request from Ronay, supported by Fulberg. Jordan, please.

46:00Speaker 7

Wärtsmitgl.

46:02Speaker 8

Libert. Hello. A. Conger. Nelson. Mo. The representative of Mayor John.

46:09Speaker 7

The request has been accepted again.

46:11 – 46:33Speaker 5

In order. And we are dealing with point K, the investment plan for the airport from 2027 to 2030. The pre-appointment for project validation 2027 for the expansion of the S-SUR building and the relocation of the electric shaft of the airfield. Would you like to introduce that, please?

46:33Speaker 4

Yes, I had that in mind at that time.

46:34Speaker 5

I think I'm ahead of myself.

46:37Speaker 6

I'm thinking about whether the regular meeting will take place on September 3rd.

46:44Speaker 4

Der Flughafenausschuss im Falle des Investitionsplans für den Flughafen von 2027.

46:49Speaker 5

Und die Einreichung des Vorantrags für das Projekt von 2027.

46:56Speaker 4

Bau des SU-Gebäudes, Erweiterung und Verlegung des elektrischen Unterstands des Flughafens. Ein vorläufiger ACP wurde dem Rat bereits am 4. Mai.

47:05 – 47:25Speaker 5

Brille. Fantastisch. All right. One application and one second. Please apply. Application from Lee. Second application from Young. And since it's about funding, John, please let us continue with a nominal appeal.

47:25Speaker 8

Council Member Neustrom. Hello. A. Kong. Wow. Liebelte. Hello. Bo. Ronin. Deputy Mayor Johnson. I.

47:34 – 48:04Speaker 5

The application has been accepted. So that's our new point done. And next, we will treat point 8, the review and approval of requirements and approvals. That's for 2 million in liabilities from deliveries and services for September 8th and the revenue and share of the social services. I accept the application. Ward's application, Young's second.

48:04 – 48:19Speaker 8

Council Member Ruhner. First of all, I would like to talk about a few years of awards that we have given away in the last one or two weeks.

48:32 – 50:20Speaker 6

First of all, we would like to thank our camping site and concession manager at Storybook Lane in Y-Park. Ten years of service there, he did a great job. He personally worked on the Labor Day weekend, which we usually lose our helpers who go back to school. We are really grateful for everything you have done out there to make it such a successful year at Storybook in Y-Park. We would like to honor Keith Nuhl and our team for public work for his 20-year work as a construction engineer. Another great construction season in the city of Aberdeen. So 20 years. Thank you, Keith. We appreciate these employees very much. I would like to draw your attention to a few community events that will take place this week. Am 11. September, Freitag, jährt sich der 11. September zum 25. Mal. Es wird eine Gedenkfeier im Dakota Bank Stadium der Northern State geben. Sie beginnt um 9 Uhr und dauert bis 9.40 Uhr. Danach von 10.30 Uhr bis 13.30 Uhr wird die Feuerwehr eine Gedenkzeremonie leiten. And I know that Chief WG and his employees are strongly involved and will help to make this possible. We have already made our way there. If you would like to participate or have further questions, you can turn to the Chief WG for this. Am Donnerstag, den 10. September, findet die Eröffnungszeremonie des Friedenskreises statt. Die Zeremonie beginnt um 16 auf dem Präsentationsgelände und Bürgermeister Travis wird anwesend sein. Er wird bei dieser Gelegenheit eine Rede halten. Also nochmals, wir freuen uns auf die Eröffnungszeremonie des Friedenskreises und danken den Präsentationsschwestern für ihr Engagement beim Aufbau dieses wirklich erstaunlichen Ortes für unsere Gemeinde. Und damit ist alles, was ich zu sagen habe.

50:24 – 50:52Speaker 5

Good thing. Important events later this week. And Anneg. There are many. Hours that have been stamped out over so many years. Therefore I know the constant efforts of the employees. Exactly. I think we are at the end. I accept the application for application.

50:58Speaker 5

Who was that here on the right side? Monga. And second, by no means. Everyone who is there, please say. Disagree with the name. We are.
