Olmsted County Board of Commissioners - Regular Meeting

Okay, the first and third item in our agenda is a general statement. This is a general statement for the Forest Municipal Separate Stormwater System, MS4. The general statement also includes its forest report. Who is starting to give their opinions? Mr. Langu Gangar, welcome. Please introduce yourself. I am Skip Langu Gangar from the Homestead Soil and Water Conservation District. I am the manager, along with Jaina Rasmussen, one of our top conservation technicians. We work together on stormwater projects and help others in public works. Therefore, we would like to make a general statement about our Stormwater Regulatory System, which is part of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System program. This is a requirement of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. This is an opportunity for the public to know their opinions about our program. Do you have more opinions about the program or do you intend to go through with it? That is, is there anything in this? Oh, I didn't know that we had to start the general demonstration first. Yes, we can do it for the public first. Yes, good. Again, we have come here to demonstrate the economic activities we are conducting under our MS4 program, which is our stormwater program. So, me and Jenny have been working closely with our Public Works staff to include them in the program throughout this year. This is an overview of the rainwater treatment in our municipality in Rochester. If we look at the next slide, we can start. Ms. Rasmussen, can you introduce yourself? Yes, my name is Jenna Rasmussen. I am a conservation technician at Homestead Soil and Water.

Today, I am going to talk about MS4. So, let's get started. We use a lot of abbreviations in our work, so it means Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. This is a set of roads, roads, pipes, etc. that they pour rainwater into. This does not have the ability to purify water. So when we think about rainwater, it is done by pouring it from our county roads directly without purifying it and bringing it to our general water resources. That is, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency controls the MS4 permit. There is a constitution that determines which of the establishments with MS4 permits is responsible for handling. We include it in this as a county because of the size of the population and other factors. We are currently in the permit cycle from 2020 to today. MPC is in the process of updating a new general permit. Therefore, we are waiting for their details. We believe that we will be able to continue to implement our activities, maintain permit systems, and obtain an online form or constitution. The goal of this is to protect the quality of water. As I said, our rainwater directly reaches the wastewater. Therefore, our most important management methods for preventing pollution and pollution are very important. Through this, we are developing our stormwater pollution prevention program. We have come here today to talk about it and to receive general opinions. Next slide.

So, Mr. Rasmus, can I go back? You don't have to change that. But are we talking about cities with 10,000 people? Are we talking about the townships around us? Or are we talking about all the areas that are not incorporated by the county? Which is the place where this permit is binding? Okay, let's get to that right away. If it is a pin need, there is no problem. Yes, there is a map next to us. There are no townships in it, but we can have a little discussion about it. Okay, sorry. Yes, no, it's okay. Good question.

Yes, now we can only talk about the county. So, within the permit, our responsible mapping is available. So, in the slide, you can see a picture of the map of the municipality in Rochester. So, even though it is not included in the MS4 of the county, I think that the infrastructure related to rainwater is showing this map. So, I expect that you can see the dots in purple on that map. They are inlets that continue to go to the Sambro river through the blue lines of the Bugarbathu River. You can see that the water reaches the Ubaridhala river directly. Therefore, it is important to map and monitor where our underground facilities are. This is related to our Minimum Control Actions. We will talk about this later in the slide. But our SWIP has described the Minimum Control Actions in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. It states that public education, public awareness, public participation, and illegal drinking and drinking are prohibited. Therefore, if you have seen a small sticker saying that only rainwater is used in storm drains, this is the reason for it. Then, the ordinance regarding the discovery and elimination of the county's unauthorized discharge is also included in this. In the other areas of the least controlled vehicles, the run-off control and construction control sites are also included. Then, the 6th most prohibited and illegal drinking and drinking is also included.

Yes, this is a picture of the city of Rochester. All the dots you see in the photo are places with storm water facilities, as shown in the pictures associated with the map. Therefore, the usual outfalls, i.e. the outlet of a culvert, and the wet storm water pond seen on the lower left are examples. These were the things that we regularly saw in the MS4 stormwater system. Today, they have a plan. I think it is in the next slide. We see the stormwater a little differently. First, it allows it to land on Earth, and it shows that. We continue to do bio-filtration. Through this, we fill water through linear systems that provide nutrients, reduce the use of storm water, and reduce the need for it. Thirdly, we build retention pools, or wet ponds, as you can see. But there are other types of protection facilities in the Storm Water Protection Plan. As you can see in the examples around some of our buildings, there is a tree infiltration trench on the right side of the page before 2122. Since there are rubble on the bottom of the trench, the water from the parking area flows into it and then flows down to the ground in those places. The soil is used to purify the storm water. You can see the small part in the middle below. That is the part of the cistern. The words in the middle go up and down to 2117. There is a method to purify the storm water around the cistern. It is applied to the features. In addition, other elements, nutrients are absorbed and the storm water is poured into the earth. Another unique feature of the Public Works Service Centre is our salt shed. Our smell and salt are kept under that shed, so it is protected from weather conditions. This prevents rainwater from taking it to storm water basins, rivers, and ponds. Let's move on. That's why some of the things we do in the rainwater management, I said that our public sector works with volunteers. They work on the roads. They are the ones who work on the ground with the rainwater management. They monitor outfalls. The outfall is where the rainwater constantly goes out of our system. That is, the water from our roads flows into Rochester. Otherwise, it can reach to the streams other than our public water sources, and from there it can flow to the pond or to a normal stream. Therefore, we make sure that it is in good condition. We have talked a little about rainwater BMP. Infiltration trenches, biofiltration systems, and then our storm water basins are included in this. That is why they are monitoring them. In such places, we go in person and conduct examinations, and inform the public about the things that need to be done. They get those details, and they immediately complete the tasks in the system.

Yes, let me add one more thing to that. I am new to the MS4 program. From the time I came here, we are trying to encourage them to work more with the public sector. They are working in a great way. Sometimes when the grants are handed over, when the reports are prepared, I am focused on how to give a positive response to the good things they do. So, we started more activities with the public sector once every two months. The MS4 program itself is also being audited. MPCI is thinking of auditing all MS4 institutions within the state. When that comes, we should be ready to implement it. Although there is no specific time limit for this, it is good to be prepared in advance. We are working on it. In addition, we are trying to match our mapping and inventory system using AFCGIS online methods. We aim to integrate this into the way in which they can be incorporated into the Public Works Department. This is not a 2025 thing. This year, we received updates from the Public Works Department about the activities they are conducting within our MS4 entity. There has never been such a lot of cooperation before. So, we are moving in the right direction. So, cleaning the streets is another part of this process. This is one of the things that we do not pay attention to when we see it. But the importance of cleaning the streets is that it helps to remove a lot of waste that falls on the roads in the olden days. Therefore, its main operation takes place every year in the winter. In 2025, we collected 6 items for 51 cubic meters. Therefore, we have given a small graphic there. It shows the 6 tandem load items collected. Most of them are sand. But of course, there are other materials and other necessities in it. That is why we inspect those returned items and use them as fillings in road construction methods. There, when we develop roadside areas, it is added as fill material. But you will see them. We have two types of vehicles. The truck and the ordinary sweeper that everyone sees. They work very well to prevent items from the roads and to prevent them from reaching our drainage system. Another important MCM, MCM or Minimum Control Measure is Storm Water Outreach and Differences. This is an issue that I have been given the opportunity to work more directly through various activities. Therefore, it is definitely a great opportunity to talk directly to our own state county fair and new people about storm water. We are always standing with Rochester City, which conducts a great demonstration of storm water management in urban areas, and we also conduct awareness-raising and outreach with them. The Cascade Creek Rain Barrel program started in 2025. This is running through our 319 Grand Cascade Creek Watershed. Some of the parts that help the Rain Barrel in the Cascade Creek area will help to control rainwater. I check the quality of the water that flows through the county. This is also done in Sumbro river. After the rain, you can see this very clearly. That is, you can see that there is a lot of dust in the fields. Therefore, I am able to give information about things that I see in the field to my family members and things that they can do on their own land to prevent excessive rainwater.

Certainly, it is a great education opportunity to build rain gardens and ponds where rainwater is collected in each house. We have a very strong partnership with the Municipal Assembly. It is really great. They have a more efficient method. They pay a fixed fee from all houses in the city. So if you live in the city, you have to pay about $15 per month to the city council. That money goes to the budget for their rainwater management activities. They have a lot of opportunities to manage the city on our request. But our support is going very far. Finally, as a part of the least controlled activities, we have to carry out educational activities. Therefore, every year we join our public works team together. Here you can see a picture of such a yoga that we have done before. About 85 people participate in it. We usually show videos about seeing and preventing excessive pollution. We talk about the smell and salt in the roads. This is a good thing to do in the wintertime, especially as we have introduced new things in our public works system. For example, we are now pouring salt water on roads. The waste you see on the road is actually a mixture of salt and water, which helps to prevent snow and ice from getting stuck on the road. So, this is a preventive measure that allows us to reduce the amount of items that need to be used after the road has been flooded. This is a great way to prevent bad weather and to protect roads. In addition, we provide special certifications for each job. Our inspectors and other residents participate in rainwater management experiments. This provides them with the necessary certifications to work. Our carers, especially those involved in road projects, make sure that they are following SWIPS guidelines. When it rains, we make sure that the soil does not evaporate unnecessarily. So, these are some of the areas we look out for. Most of the experiments are carried out by the Minnesota Department of Health, and some are carried out by Mando. The Minnesota Erosion Control Association is another organization that carries out such experiments. If you need more information, you can visit the Public Works website. Also, if you have any questions, we are happy to answer them. Thank you for your time. Do you have any questions for our witnesses? No questions. Road salt is always discussed in this matter. Do we do anything special in Olmstead County regarding road salt or the use of chloride in the powder system? Yes. Well, it would be better to ask the lady. But what I have to say is that we use chloride or road salt on roads to remove snow and ice. It is mostly done after the snow has melted. We pay attention to other junctions as well. These are the places where snow and ice fall from the tires and cars in the vehicle's exhaust system. That is why we mainly use this fertilizer in those places. As I said, one of the benefits of chloride is that we are now using brining, which is a great way to reduce the amount of salt in the soil scattered on the roads. However, it is a very good thing that we do not get any harmful substances due to chloride in the soil. Chloride malignancy can never be eliminated. There are many malignancies and poisons in the Twin Cities cloud. Certainly, they are accepting measures to reduce that malignancy. However, as I said, once malignancy occurs, it becomes permanent. So, thank you. Any other questions? I don't think so. You can sit down. We will call you back. Is there a plan to start public awareness? There is a plan and a plan. Is there any discussion? I don't think so. Those who support public awareness, say yes. Yes, we are conducting public awareness. Is there anyone? Is there anyone in the public who wants to comment on the report related to Chuzhalikattu water management? Is there anyone who wants to comment or report on this matter? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one else is paying attention? Is there anyone who wants to end the public hearing because no one Is that today's promise? I think it would be a good thing for the rules of the Police Control Agency. Okay. Do you have such a promise? I can announce a promise. Okay. We have a promise to accept the report as it was announced. Is this a second promise? Yes. That's a second promise. Is there any discussion about the report? Those who agree because there is none, say yes. Yes. Yes. Those who oppose, say no. Thank you very much for that. Thank you for your time. We appreciate that. Good. Then we can move on to today's agreement agenda. We have some things to discuss here. First, approve the OMS County Board Minutes on August 18, 2026. Second, submit a report on County Projects UC 24-12. Make a bituminous overlay on County Road 112 and County Road 12. Excuse me, 24-154. Next, approve RFB. From 2026 to 2017, Turbine Generator Service and Repair Regulation. Next, the incident from Janet Denny and the incident from the Oxbow Park and the incident from the Smaan Zoo is admitted with evidence. Do we have a right to approve a consent agenda? Do we approve a consent agenda? Okay, we have a right. We have a right. Is there any discussion on this? Those who agree, say yes. Yes. Oppose? No. So, the consent agenda was approved. Let's move on to the next five. Please allow us to sell the two Poojam 2 R issues of the General Obligation Bonds series. Our Pressurer Mr. CFO Mr. Roman Kadalop, Commissioner Markum, Chairman and Superbatham. Yes, Homestake County's Chief Financial Officer Wilfredo Roman Katala. The General Obligation Bond Wealth Series of Rs 2,93,50,000 should be issued in 2026. As you know, most of that waste is used to buy necessary equipment for the Materials Recovery Facility. So, that 29 billion will be used for approximately 26 billion. It will be used for various systems within approximately 3 billion organizations. The first 26 billion Material Recovery Facility will be closed from Waste Management Fee anyway. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. The remaining 3.5 million will be used for property tax. If you have any questions related to the financial system, Tommy LL from Northland Securities is with us. If you have any questions about that process. Okay. Do you have any questions for Mr. Kattali? That's why I'm okay. I mean, we'll accept $29 million through the bond, right? We'll use it, right? Are there other responsibilities other than this in our capital improvement plan? But where do we stand when it comes to using this money for capital projects? I'm not sure if it's clear to me, but let me see if what I've understood is correct. This 29 million will be used for 26 million MURFs. Yes, it will be used to buy about 3 million squad cars, for example. Right. A bridge will be built as part of the parks and trails. This fund will be used as a part of it. In addition, other necessary resources will also be included in the fund. In addition, a small part of that money will be used for the bond issue. Yes, when our capital improvement plan progresses, I think we should come back for more bonding. That's right. Right. So, it will continue as we did in the past three years in 2027. Usually, during the venal period, we do this in your retreat. What is the need? We will decide whether to increase or decrease the funds for the necessary activities, and then we will do this process again at that time. Right. Other organizations issue bonds on a large scale. They don't want to come before you every year. But we're doing this together. Because I think it's good to use the money of the victims as a profit. Is there anything good? Any questions? No objections? Then this is not a thing. Is there any particular question you would like to ask Tommy today? They are here. Yes. Question. Commissioner right. What is the process that tells the financial agencies that this is a gain and a good risk? We need the lowest possible rate. So, how do you do that?

Mr. Chair, excuse me, Commissioners, Tommy from Northland Securities is serving as a financial advisor for Northland. It is a great question to introduce myself. So, I would like to talk a little about the process we have been following and the current financial situation. We are working as a county resident to ensure the bond rating in the month. As the county board knows well, you have that AAA rating. We expect it to be approved. But that is a process. We are now in the middle of it. So this is the first step we want to approve that bond rating and give rating to these bonds. The next step is that there is an offering called preliminary official statement. It is very important to explain your methods. This makes the information about financial development and your opinion on financial management clear. Once that process is completed, we will continue to distribute all the bonds for 2026 on October 5. Then, in recent years, it is due to the donations given to the county for the proof of its victory. Therefore, our aim is to continue this movement in order to make a significant contribution to the sale of these bonds. In addition, the county has been very successful in the matter of the Malsara donation in the past. There is a rich system in front of you. I know this is a question for all of you, but there is a big risk in the Aagola bond market this morning, as the monthly bonds have been shut down and the municipal bonds have not been shut down directly. But certainly, especially long-term maturities are affected. Well, when these bonds were sold at $29.3 billion in full, Fredo explained well that it is a good opportunity to use the assets that they lend to help the poor. That means your assets with a short period of time are being returned early. So I pay close attention to 3.8. Let's see what happens here. Here, as you know, there is time until October 5, but there is a chance, but the power of the county's financial management. We expect that the AAA rating will help these bonds to make a profitable profit. Yes. That's why I think our last three bonds were bought by the same company.

Is it because they are optimistic or because they think we are the best? Or I don't know if people are unwilling to make a profit against that company. I don't remember the name of the company. I'm sorry.

That is, let me say it again, that's right. I haven't brought the video list for the past two years, but they have a good relationship with the insured who are familiar with it. They have a good experience in selling your bonds to the insured. In terms of bonds, I would like to note that this is a limit to the amount of real interest. Therefore, this is not a limit to the establishment. That is, if it is an important establishment, it will only be a limit to the amount of real interest that the county receives as part of our activities. Therefore, I will not say that it is an illusion. This means that they are very interested in buying county bonds.

Thank you. Is there anything else you would like to ask? Let me ask you a small question. Is this a sealed bond of divorce? Does it mean that everyone will only get one chance to divorce? The reason for this is that if the Minnesota state has not imposed any laws, they have the right to divorce. They will be able to know what other people's divorce is. If necessary, they can avoid it.

No, this is a complete electronic system. This is not a law. In the municipal bonds in Minnesota, only in a few cities in the past, it used to be old-fashioned. But for the county, it is being distributed directly to Northland as electronic. Okay.

Does anyone else have anything to ask? I don't think anyone else has anything to ask. So, let's start the discussion.

Thank you, Commissioner.

Yes, thank you. Is anyone ready to declare a bond issue, a general obligation to sell a bond, or a permit? The bond is being declared to move forward with the sale of bonds. Okay, then what? The bond has been declared. It has been declared. Is there any discussion on the bond? I don't think so. Those who agree, say yes. Those who disagree, say no. Similarly, the bond has been approved. Next is Article 6. Chairman, can you please make it clear that the agreement was signed with the agreement agenda? The articles you read were A, B, C, and E. We had deliberately avoided Article D. On September 15, I would like to officially announce that Article D will be included in the agreement agenda. It was not a mistake to not read it. I would like to introduce it. Will the clerk introduce it in minutes? Okay, good. Okay, okay, let's move on. This is a happy thing. We are introducing our Rochester CET Administrator, Alison Selims. He will tell us a little about what is going on in our city. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Chair Sinjam, Commissioners, and the great team members of Olmstead County. Thank you for accepting my invitation at the last minute. I will try to make this a great experience, but I cannot assure you that there is nothing urgent in the agenda in Rochester. Let's start by looking at what is happening around the city. It is a lot of construction activities. People experience it as a construction. But from those construction activities, whether it is a public or private property, what really happens is continuous growth. According to the development we see in Rochester City, the expansion of this continues throughout the county. This may be a very good thing for other communities in Olmstead County. That is the love of my representation. I will try to focus on the opportunities in which I can say this briefly. Even if I ask things that are not included in my agenda, I will try to put it back or accept further steps. We are talking about the local opportunities that will be developed and developed again. I consider them as opportunities. They should not always feel like opportunities, but they should experience them as opportunities as soon as possible in the city. I point this out this way. I agree. I went too far. But I may not have done that.

You did. Let's get started.

Okay. So, these are the circumstances. In front of the government center, or according to the way you see it, in the back. There is a big trade-off in the link of nearly $200 million BRT system. But there are long-term opportunities for this in Meghalaya, and there is a lot of discussion about how to connect the local government to it through Olmstead County. Some of the opportunities that existed before Covid are being restored, because we know that many of those who work in Rochester, those who sell goods, and those who buy goods are those who are long-term members of our MSA. This is an opportunity for the development of new infrastructure and new buildings. That's why, when you continue with the lockdown in the county, it is expected that there will be more lockdowns in a way that will not burden the local authorities. There is a need for new lockdowns and services to grow. When we continue with the lockdown, the expectations are not decreasing. They don't always improve, but they don't usually decrease. But I think there are more opportunities. In addition, we are talking about how we can reduce some of the expenses of the shared facilities in terms of the staff team. Therefore, it is not only Rochester that welcomes residents and residents of the county together, but also helps to understand how it will be beneficial to the people of Meghalaya. We know that it is not enough if we just stand as a party to become a local centre. People have to be attracted to that party to become a pillar that creates the financial activities necessary to develop the economy here. Therefore, it is expected that the link will start operating on August 27, BRT. It is a large movement of about 11,000 passengers a day through a 2-mile stretch. But there are still many things to be done to reach that starting point. There are more attractions for the 6th street bridge. We got the Grand Carrar for that this week. Certainly, not only public facilities, but also natural attractions are in the construction of the city. Not only Mayo and Dempsey, but also other self-sufficient facilities that are in opposition to the three Osman buildings are rising. CityWalk Apartments, North Civic Center, Sherman Development, Lingan Communities on 4th Street, etc. are among them. We are working on the reconstruction of East Centre Street, which is surrounded by such private and general construction projects, starting on 18th Avenue, South West, in 2027. So, of course, this is being implemented in the municipality, but there is a lot of interest in the municipality. We can discuss a little about what it will do for the property. But naturally, this inspires us to think more about local travel. We have to think about what kind of interim response mechanisms should be adopted when there are more heavy traffic jams in the city. These are the things we consider in terms of the city as a place where the fire is extinguished and interim measures are taken. To reduce the cost of living and at the same time to respond effectively and to monitor, the Rochester Police Department is conducting a new drone program. It is expected to be a good source of income for the county. Development activities in the metropolitan area are taking place on a large scale. In addition, there is an important development in the North Badinyaran Seaver Shed. In addition, we have also received funding for Sumbroo Seaver Shed. That is why there is a need for development in the areas of Tec and Tecukizhak, or there is a need for development to be developed in such areas. Since it is an important thing for a city like Rochester, it is expected that it will get the necessary facilities to support it. In May, when I spoke about the three urban cities in the DMC Council, you may have seen a little about this in small slides. Therefore, the public ownership of the city of Rochester is about 11.8 times higher than that of Olmstead County. Therefore, you will get more income from the land that is grown in the city. Looking more closely at the DMC district, almost 148 times of the total income obtained from the land in Olmstead County is obtained from there. The vastness of the earth and the vastness of the land that is being used as a base for the construction of the land. But even if the next phase of Lingupur is completed, it will not end there. It is a general peace agreement that extends to the city and the whole of the city. That's why there will be traffic jams on the roads. When there is so much traffic in the city, we are trying to make sure that the infrastructure is built at once and make it useful. A total of $34 million of infrastructure will be completed on the ground and on the roads. Since the construction of the Mayo Clinic and the construction of other private institutions is ongoing at the same time, even if we are struggling to operate in the best possible way, there are a lot of work going on there. That's why we're doing it every day. We understand that there are big differences between business institutions and citizens in this regard. When joint construction operations take place, there are natural obstacles. But we expect that it will become a society that is more suitable to live through general private institutions. You can see that it is spreading slowly. The more the centralization of the city is increased, the more it spreads to other parts of the community to the distance it is going to. You can see all this all the time. When there is a transition, more transitions come from the normal natural cloud to it. The number of people who take care of a growing local center is not the same. We estimate that the budget for the city of Rochester in 2027 is about $800 million. It is about $463 million in operations. Let us remind everyone who is watching that we are providing water, tap water and medical supplies. Only less than 16% of the amount required for this is obtained from the private sector. Therefore, a large part of this is the waste that is provided for various services used by people. But when we think about the business power that is needed to develop the economy, we know that there will be some strengths that are either positive or negative. How can we make good use of it? In order to make a good change in that, we are conducting a survey in the Parpida Meghalaya. This will change the needs of many local facilities and services we provide. That is why we are thinking about such things. How can these surveys be implemented? All of them should not take place in the city of Rochester. But if the Parpidas are being built outside of Rochester, we need to find out how it will affect the tourism and service expectations. We are also trying to provide community experiences. We are an American city with a major medical center and health care, but many people have participated in coming here for things and other experiences. Therefore, we make sure that the Mayo Civic Center is operating in the best possible way. We are talking about the operation of the Chateau Theater. You will see the Civic Center Mark V on the road. It helps people to know what is going on there. It is our real goal to attract people to the Teckugilakan Mountain. Rochester is not only a place for people to spend their time, save money, or live or enjoy life. This is a place where a lot of savings are needed to make things happen. We have a power resource plan for 2030. I know that General Manager Makulla has come here earlier. Over the past 18 months, they have been on a great journey through the changes in their energy supply, and they believe that they have enough energy to grow in the future, in addition to providing reliable medicine. In order to provide it and make it sustainable, in a recent military session, they shared some big names like us and a snake sand ladders game. At times of the year, there were more snakes than snakes, and at other times there were more snakes than snakes. However, we are trying to stay positive about getting the vaccine. Moreover, we are not only in Rochester, but also in a new phase. As your MS-4 Megasiemens-4 team heard, there is no limit to the amount of water. Likewise, there is no limit to the amount of water taken from a water tank. Therefore, we have announced that it is not possible to continue taking water from the Jordan water tank not only in Rochester, but also in the cities around Minnesota. So, how to water, where to purify, how to mix the water, where to find this solution, there will be major regional and regional issues. So, the things we are paying attention to are under our supervision. You have all supported us in trying to help them in the dispatch operation of Mau County. We are continuing the discussions. It is very important that this is not the only county that carries out large-scale dispatch operations. We are very fortunate in our relationship as a homestead for our 2011 services in Meghalaya, but it does not mean that we are independent. There are a lot of things to do to understand what is appropriate for small counties, communities, in the past and in the future. Therefore, we only remind you that we are working together on these matters. There have been some major discussions about the centers of public security. We discussed how local authorities can continue to investigate if they are not involved. All of this will not happen at times. But how can our decisions be made in a meaningful way in the future? Then, of course, EGOBIPIKYUGA, EGOBIPIKYUGA, EGOBIPIKYUGA. We had good discussions. We came to your task force park board and talked about the paths and parks. So, we are ready to update our master plan for parks. Not only in Rochester, but also in the county, there is a great need to understand how to connect people to the places they want and how to help them in the development of the paths. As you have heard, we are working very closely with the Rainwater Commission, and we are also making sure that there are equal conditions there. We are also encouraging the discussions you are conducting with Jeevanakkar about County Road 34. Moreover, there will be an opportunity to prepare for more multi-modal underground facilities right now. We are also thinking about the opportunities we have in Rochester and Olmstead, as well as in various communities in the county. That's why I think I did it very quickly. Faster than construction. Opportunities for any discussions or questions. How much is it, Mrs. Hems?

Do we have any questions for our CET administrators? Does anyone have anything to ask? Can I share something with you? What?

The fees for each parcel of storm water is $5 per month. Just to make it clear. I thought it was a little more. Yes.

So far, this month is $5. But let's see what we can do.

Not $5, I think he said $15 or something like that. Just to make it clear. Yes. Any questions?

Yes.

So, Commissioner Thain, what do you suggest they do about the Jordan Aquifer and whether they should go down to the Iron Tiger or the Vanowaker? What? What do you suggest they do about the Jordan Aquifer and whether they should go down to the Iron Tiger or the Vanowaker? Our strong interest is that we can use the Mt. Simon aquifer in the old area. The answers beyond that are not so great. They are about going to Mississippi and other places. Why Mt. Simon? Why are you avoiding an aquifer in between? It is necessary to have a water-based method to say all that, but it is based on the flow of water. Therefore, it examines the various mixtures of water. Therefore, depending on how you mix the water, there will be different types of chemicals required. In addition, there will be different types of chemicals required to control the amount of chemicals that occur naturally in various minerals or other natural substances.

A person like Radon. Let me discuss this with Todd. Let's see what his opinion is.

That question can be answered by Todd in detail. Will they bring the same rules in other communities?

Or is it just because Rochester is the only one? Now, this will affect all the water supplies that are available through Jordan Aquifer.

Therefore, some of the first announcements about this may have been given to us, because when you look at the construction of new buildings, they tell you that this is the end and that other developments must be found. This has to do with the major developments that are taking place in the north. Therefore, these are all related to each other. When they prepare those water supplies, the soil science in the soil and in the soil, how much rain it is, how it affects the water supplies by separating the places where you collect water, etc. It is done by making it a base.

That is what I find interesting, because they have imposed a ban on drilling in Mount Simon instead of drinking water. You can't use it for any other reason. In the city where I used to work, the water was obtained from the shallow banks of the river from the water reservoir in Mount Simon. Today, it is required to purify the water in a different way than we do in Rochester. Okay, okay, thank you. Do you have any other questions? I have a question. I have received a call from the next day. I am not sure how to answer this. Is there any problem with the cost related to the bus service in the next week? The city has now appointed a new operator. They will be fully operational next week.

The planned routes and SIPs are also included in this. Moreover, when the Bus Rapid Transit Link system starts, it will also be handled by them. They are very attentive in terms of communication. Communication and details are also very important in ensuring travel accessibility. Therefore, passengers will not have any problems in terms of SIPs. But we expect that they will be able to use it more easily and know where their vehicle is and when it will arrive. They can also share it with their acquaintances. According to the HIPAA laws, they get a little different information. Almost 60 days ago, we signed a contract. We are now in the midst of the transition from Transdev, which is a permanent donor, to Transdev, which is a new operator that is going to handle three systems.

Very good. Thank you very much. Does anyone else have any questions?

This is our time. If anyone else has any questions, I will be in the hall.

Thank you very much for the great presentation. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Okay, now we will close and move on to the session. The case is related to Melvin Bush's death, Ariana Bush v. Advanced Correctional Health Care Inc. is discussed in that closed session. Board conference will move to room 2. Oh. Abhimugam nadathunadha devaana. Inda. Oh, ade. After the meeting on the Hay-Bush issue, we will be back. In this episode, we are in the eighth chapter of our agenda, which is Board-Committee reports. Do you have any board or committee reports? You are welcome, Mr. Time. I would like to inform you about the report of a local news agency, Aramani Koorni, on our unexpected absence and excessive absence. But they could only prove that our leader, Travis, was doing a great job in protecting his life. I am proud of what he did in that respect. Good. Commissioner Wright, no report. Commissioner Mueller, no report. Commissioner Hawkins. Yes, Mr. Chair. Today, I would like to announce that I will issue a policy to increase the ADC for George County to $323. Next, I will issue a policy to increase the ADC for George County to $100 per day, and then increase it by 3% every year. Okay. Commissioner Pulkysmith.

Yes, Mr. Chair. My report is about the artist-in-residence program that is being used in Maliniya. On Friday, we held the exhibition of our newest artist in Rotunda. You can see the work they have created. The installation was created by using clothes, strings, and other things that cost around £400 for about 1000 hours of work. Many people participated in it. Approximately 60 to 65 people participated. This was a great success and a very pleasant and exciting one. So this is my update.

Mr. Rosemann.

Mr. Rosemann. Mr. Rosemann. Mr. Rosemann. This is now used not only in the state and county, but also locally. Moreover, it is being transferred to a single state. This is a way for discussions with state leaders. They were able to understand how this agreement works and how actions can be taken by the county's leadership and the Aravind. Therefore, they are thinking of using this method in other ways. So, this is a great example of how Homestead County uses the knowledge and medical knowledge of our people and their continued commitment to their mission. This is not only for the residents of Homestead County, but also for the local government. I don't think that attitude will change. Again, Mark accepted the leadership of our administrator. Certainly, such thoughts start from that leadership. I praise our entire leadership and the people at the head of the department. That attitude. We are raising everyone, not only in Olmstead County. As we continue to see such examples, I will try to bring them forward. Because we need to make our citizens aware of the beauty of the progress that has been made in all programs about the great talent of the people of Olmstead County. Good. Thank you.

I would like to report on the board meeting of Olmstead County Historical Society History Center last Wednesday. It was very positive. There is a lot of activity going on with regard to the innovation and development of the History Centre. They have made a good contribution. Of course, they are trying to raise more funds and raise the History Centre to a new level. Last Saturday or the other, they held a Brooker Mini Concert there. I think there were more than a thousand people there. They were very happy to be a part of that. Many people are now reaching the history center. This is a very exciting time to be involved in that special event. So, if there are no more things, I suggest that the yoke be broken. I suggest that the yoke be broken. Okay, I got the permission to break the yoke and then I got it. All those who agree, say yes. Yes, the yoke has been broken. Thank you.
