City Council

ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING – MAY 28, 2024 MINUTES The Workshop Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Bukkila, May 28, 2024, 6:00 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmembers present: Jamie Barthel and Randy Nelson Councilmembers absent: Ted Butler and Rick Engelhardt Also present: City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Recreational Facilities Manager, Erick Sutherland Assistant Recreational Facilities Manager, Chad Stancer Facility Coordinator, Sean Larson Finance Manager, Lee Brezinka Others ANDOVER FIRE RELIEF ASSOCIATION DISCUSSION Mr. Dickinson reviewed the staff report in regard to the Andover Fire Relief Association and the funding request for fire relief contributions. He shared he wanted to focus tonight’s discussion on municipal contribution to the Fire Relief Association. He discussed the municipal contributions for other cities in the metro area and how they calculate their numbers. He added there is a tax on everyone’s homeowners’ insurance that is allocated for fire reliefs throughout the State. Councilmember Nelson shared he did not know that there were other cities that do not have municipal contributions. He asked if the charge on insurance premiums is fixed at 2%. Mr. Dickinson explained it is a tax on insurance premiums. He noted insurance premiums have been increasing, which is causing the amount of aid to increase. He added that in 2013 the State implemented supplemental aid, which was around $5,500,000, which does have some indexing, which is also allocated for aid for fire reliefs. He stated the supplemental number will be rather consistent, and the percentage will fluctuate based on insurance premiums. Councilmember Nelson stated in 2023 the Relief Association did not experience a negative fund performance. Mr. Dickinson said it was not as bad as prior years. He shared in 2022 it was identified early that there was a lot of negatives going on after the stock market crashed as a result of the COVID-19 shutdowns. He stated this fund is still in recovery from that. Councilmember Barthel asked if some cities contribute to the Fire Relief Association as a way to Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 2 not go to a full-time fire department. Mr. Dickinson said yes. He added a lot of the cities he spoke too thought of their contributions as a retention tool. He said some cities also said it benefited their recruitment. Councilmember Barthel asked if there is a popular formula that other cities use to calculate their contributions. Mr. Dickinson stated cities use vastly different formulas; however, one of the more popular formulas is tied to a service credit. He explained the cities determine a service credit per month and then at the end of the year they multiply the number of service credit by a set dollar amount which would yield the amount that would be provided for a firefighter for their relief contribution that year. Councilmember Barthel asked what classifies a service credit. Mr. Dickinson stated it would be awarded to those who met the standard. He said there would have to be a trigger mechanism that would start this computation. He noted their trigger mechanism could be the certification for service credits. He said if they did this then the formula would be consistent and they should be prepared to index this formula based on the average of union contracts, non-bargaining agreements, or the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Councilmember Bathel asked if non-bargaining pay goes up if this contribution would also go up that percentage. Mr. Dickinson said yes. Mayor Bukkila asked if they had looked at any of these options in the past as they did not have any comparables to measure themselves against. Mr. Dickinson said yes. Mayor Bukkila stated she has questions about how they would measure the target. She shared the Relief Association talked about an amount per year to try to anticipate that other funds were paying out. Mr. Dickinson shared there are three main types of models for this: defined contributions, defined benefits, and some hybrid models. He noted when he talked to people who have these hybrid models or defined contributions, they all look to a comparable city and gauge this by the defined benefit dollar amount. He said the State allows for a larger number and some of these cities have had to backtrack on their benefits because dollars were not coming in. He cautioned against having a benefit that they will not be able to fulfill. He shared he has looked at comparable cities and believes he could draft a comparable formula based on his finds. Councilmember Nelson asked about the City’s current formula. Mr. Dickinson stated the City currently uses a flat dollar amount and his recommendation would be to create a formula. Mayor Bukkila explained instead of having their contribution be a random amount, they will be setting up a formula that will have a reasonable performance and expectation escalator. Councilmember Barthel added he likes that the amount could change based on the cost of living since it will be a percentage rather than a set dollar amount. He noted he would like this formula Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 3 to be put in place for future Councils to also utilize. Mr. Dickinson shared this would be evaluated just like all other compensation related items. He added he believes it would be prudent to have a formula with a trigger mechanism. Mayor Bukkila stated the current contribution amount of $1,000 per firefighter was a random number that they came up with. She noted having a random number is difficult to justify to taxpayers. She said they want to do this so that the contribution is purposeful, measurable, and comparable with justifications. Councilmember Barthel shared he is on the Fire Relief Association Board and they have discussed before what happened when there is turnover and when they turn in the letter. He agreed that he would like this to be a set formula so that the Association does not have to send out a letter every year and everyone is just aware of how the contributions work. Mr. Dickinson suggested taking a baseline of $125 per month per service credit and after a year of earning service credit it could be $1,500 if they receive service credit for each month. Mayor Bukkila asked where he got the $125 amount. Mr. Dickinson shared he looked at pension numbers and comparable cities as what would be a defined benefit type number. He stated he then made computations based on allocations that the firefighters may get based on 2% and supplemental money. He said he then looked at getting a target number that would be close to a defined benefit number for a comparable City. Mayor Bukkila asked if this is something that someone else would be able to duplicate. Mr. Dickinson said yes. Mr. Dickinson stated there are currently 41 active members, which would result in a potential total of $61,500 for 2024. He added they would apply an index for next year which would be a 3% increase. He shared this would be like any other budgeted item, and they would make sure they budgeted on the higher end to insure they would still be able to pay out for this contribution if they were at a larger staff. Councilmember Barthel asked when this would start. Mr. Dickinson said it would start this year and then next year it would be put into the budget with an index. BJ McGath with the Andover Fire Relief Association, asked what would happen with last year’s contributions. Mr. Dickinson said he is not proposing that this would be retroactive, and this would just be set for moving forward. He noted this number would be significantly larger than what was requested last year. Mr. McGath shared they typically request $1,000 per firefighter that goes into a pot to be distributed equally. He noted with this formula, then firefighters could get different amounts based on service credits. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 4 Mr. Dickinson noted this formula will reward those who are receiving all service credits per year. Mayor Bukkila stated a future Council could adjust this if they have different comparables at that time. She noted this will be a historical foundation that future Councils can look back on. Mr. Ryan Sahlberg, Fire Station II shared his appreciation for the staff work that went into this. He added the proposed formula is a great solution for everyone. He noted last year all of the firefighters missed out on their $1,000 and it will take two years for them to breakeven on their contributions even with this more generous formula. Mr. Dickinson said he is looking towards the future at this point as 2023 has come and gone. He noted they did learn a lot from 2023; however, they are not looking to be retroactive with this. Councilmember Nelson added there was not negative fund performance in 2023. Mayor Bukkila stated these decisions were made as part of last year’s budget discussions, and they cannot go back to 2023. She added this current proposal is not in the 2024 budget. She said they really wanted to spell out this formula and plan as the Council was facing an absence of records when trying to make their decisions last year on a contribution amount. Mr. Dickinson said this solution achieves the ask from the Relief Association to formalize a process moving forward to eliminate confusion and to put the contribution back in place. Mayor Bukkila added they will be looking at compensation for salary rates next month which will also play into this. Councilmember Barthel asked if they approved this in June when the contributions would start. Mr. Dickinson said they would pay out in 2024 based on 2023 numbers. Councilmember Barthel asked if the firefighters could have payment into their accounts as easily as July or August. Mr. Dickinson said yes. Mayor Bukkila asked if there will be an anticipated start date for next year and years to come. Mr. Dickinson said it would be March 31st, or whenever the reports are sent out for the service credits and the appeals process has been completed. Council consensus was reached to direct staff to move forward with an official draft on the contribution formula to be brought back for Council approval. APRIL 2024 COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE Mr. Dickinson presented the staff report concerning the 2024 Community Center update. He shared the 2024 revenues are comparable to those of 2023, which is to be expected. He said miscellaneous revenue is slightly increased this year partially due to a donation from the Andover Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 5 Huskies Youth Hockey Association for a new sound system within the facility. He reviewed the expenses for the month. He added the water heater and dehumidification project has just been completed and they are currently testing the systems and he will have an update on the next report. He gave an update on some of the maintenance projects that are taking place at this time. Mayor Bukkila noted the over $80,000 donation from the Andover Huskies is not necessarily revenue as the Huskies purchased the new sound system that was put in. Mr. Dickinson noted they still have to recognize this revenue with the corresponding expense. Recreational Facilities Manager Erick Sutherland introduced his staff to the Council and gave an update on the Community Center projects. Councilmember Nelson asked what they expect for the lifespan of the water heater and the dehumidification system. Sutherland said they would hope to get around 15 to 20 years out of these systems. Assistant Recreational Facilities Manager Chad Stancer and Facility Coordinator Sean Larson reviewed the staff report in regard to their ideas for the Community Center, including putting in golf simulators in the conference rooms. They discussed what this project would entail. They added that these rooms would remain versatile and would be able to be used for much more than just golf simulations. They shared that projected revenues would be around $43,000 per simulator. They also discussed their findings from other cities who have similar facilities. They stated they project a return on investment in just over a year whether they went with one or two simulators from Green Pro. Councilmember Barthel shared his neighbor has one of these golf simulators and he is able to play on a simulation of any golf course in Minnesota. He asked if this would be true for these simulators. Mr. Larson said yes and explained there would be a bank of over 800 golf courses. Councilmember Nelson asked if the Green Pro simulators are a lower price than others on the market. Mr. Larson said there are at-home systems that are cheaper; however, this is an affordable commercial-use simulator. Councilmember Nelson asked how much maintenance and repair this simulator will require. Mr. Larson explained this system that they are proposing will not require much maintenance outside of replacing the hitting mats. Mayor Bukkila asked if this is a contractor or subscription with Green Pro. Mr. Larson said they would purchase all of the equipment outright. He said they can either subscribe to the software or buy the full rights to it. Mr. Stancer shared another thing that they like about the Green Pro system is that their representative lives in Ham Lake and they were able to visit his studio to try out the simulators. He added the representative would be cutting the City a small discount on the install as they would Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 6 be allowing the representative to use the space as a demo space outside of prime hours. Councilmember Barthel asked about the clientele for these kinds of simulators and if other cities that have similar facilities have had issues with users trashing the rooms. Mr. Stancer said they would look to install security cameras in the rooms so they could keep an eye on users. He added they will also have names and contact information for those using the facility as well. He noted the other cities did not mention any issues with clientele. He said they would have to set an age restriction for these simulators. Councilmember Barthel noted these types of facilities are popping up everywhere and he supports the idea of bringing this to the City. Mayor Bukkila asked if these simulators can be used for any other sports. Mr. Larson explained there are some all-sport software packages that they could add on. Mr. Stancer explained they would change the doors to these rooms so that they would require a key fob to enter. He added the people coming to use the rooms would be escorted by the front desk staff who would walk them through the simulator and get them set up and ready to play. He said they would not need to add more staff to manage this. He shared the estimate of $20,000 for modifications and furnishings. He reviewed the usage for these rooms in 2023. Mayor Bukkila noted anytime she has tried to enter the teen rooms they have been locked. She asked how they would get used if they are always locked. Mr. Stancer said they would have to schedule usage with staff for them to be unlocked. He explained they are working on some teen programming with Youth First to bring more after school programming. Mr. Dickinson shared that Youth First received a fairly significant grant for specific use in the Community Center. He said they plan on partnering with Youth First and the YMCA to provide different programming for teens. Mr. Stancer shared he spoke to some of the main user groups who hold their monthly Board Meetings in these rooms and these groups were happy to be flexible and look at other rooms within the Community Center. He added they think they could get some sponsorship deals to help bring in additional revenue. He shared he believes these simulators would do very well and they will have to turn people away with how popular they will be. Councilmember Nelson asked if they were to do two simulators how quickly they would make their money back. Mr. Stancer said they project it would take just over a year to breakeven. Mr. Larson stated most simulator start-ups do not get to their peak potential for a few years; however, he does not see this happening for the City as they already have so many people in and out of the Community Center at all times. Councilmember Nelson said he is all for this idea as it would be a revenue generator. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 7 Mayor Bukkila said she would like to see what more can be done with programming that could vary with ages. She noted she would also like to see the cost conversion from the single room to the double room. Ben Riechers, 15844 Martin Street, asked about the average rate that Bunker Hills charges per hour. Mr. Larson said he believes it is $45 an hour for a simulator. Mr. Riechers noted that they would be expanding what they do with the Community Center to compete with the private sector who pays taxes and the debt service on this building. Mr. Larson said they are not necessarily competing with the private sector as there are no businesses in the private sector in Andover that are offering golf simulators. Mr. Larson shared his cousin was trying to book time to use the Bunker Hill golf simulator this past winter and he was unable to due to the facility being fully booked. Mayor Bukkila noted starting with one simulator would give the community time to weigh in and share feedback on whether or not they would want a second simulator or if they would rather have a different type of use for the other room. Mr. Riechers asked about the last time they raised Community Center rates. Mayor Bukkila said they were raised last winter, and they will review them again this year. Mr. Stancer shared the idea of charging around $40 per hour for the simulators. He noted they can discuss this further. Mr. Sutherland reviewed the walking track data for 2023 as compared to 2022. Councilmember Barthel asked if these numbers only reflect those who came in before 4:00 p.m. Mr. Sutherland said yes as they do not have data on nights and weekends. Mr. Sutherland asked how important it is for the Council to have this data. He explained the amount of staff time that goes into tracking this data and getting users to check in with the desk is very time consuming and outweighs what they are bringing in with revenues. He said he would expect these numbers to stay fairly consistent with some growth; however, he is not sure the data is that important after a few years. He added they are switching software and there would be a lot that would need to be transferred over. Mayor Bukkila asked about the costs associated with staffing time to get this data, as well as the cost of the software and the cost of the upgrade. She said she would like to see the real numbers on this. Council consensus was reached to direct staff to bring back more information when the whole Council is present on the software add-ons that are available that can increase the user base and can work with some youth programming. They also wanted information on how they could use Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 8 the first simulator room to cash flow the second room. They requested more information to be brought back on the staff time used for gathering walking track data. Council recessed at 7:40 p.m., reconvened at 7:56 p.m. 2025-2029 CIP DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION/2024 CIP PROGRESS REPORT Mr. Dickinson presented the staff report on the 2025-2029 CIP as well as the progress report for the 2024 CIP. Mayor Bukkila asked about the new trail machine. Finance Manager Lee Brezinka explained this is snowblower plows for the parks and trails. He said the plan is to have two trail machines and two John Deeres. Mr. Dickinson shared they are working on some City Hall improvements. He noted the facility management group is rather frugal when it comes to all City buildings. He discussed the rural reserve area and noted that there has been lots of interest from developers. He shared they are hitting some roadblocks with the Crosstown Boulevard trail with the railroad and the Met Council. He discussed the largest investment of all of them which is in the streets. He stated they are focusing on roads and public safety based on the strategic plan. He asked if there are any other items that the Council would like staff to spend more time on. Councilmember Nelson stated the Park and Recreation Commission was going to analyze each park and if they did not have to use all of their dollars for each park then they could save this money for the future. He noted everything at Woodland Estates Park looked beautiful and there was no damage to the park equipment, yet they still redid it. Mr. Dickinson asked if they updated the playground equipment at this park. Councilmember Nelson said yes and explained that everything was torn out to be replaced. Mr. Dickinson said this likely had to do with timing, age of the equipment and community demand. He reiterated that it was his understanding that the Park and Recreation Commission was to analyze each park and any funding that did not need to be used at a given park would be saved for the future. Mr. Dickinson said they did analyze each park. He added this park would have been identified on last year’s CIP as a park to be replaced in 2024. Councilmember Nelson said he heard from residents in this area that they were also confused as to why the park was being redone. Mr. Dickinson shared there was a neighborhood notice sent out to the residents in the area. Councilmember Nelson shared he could understand that they would need to completely redo this park if there was substantial damage or it needed lots of painting; however, that did not seem to be the case. He said he and his wife walk by this area every day and they have run into residents who are concerned with this use of their taxpayer dollars. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 9 Mr. Dickinson explained this park would have gone through the Park and Recreation Commission review process. He added some park equipment is replaced on a schedule because not all equipment can be replaced at the same time. He said he can find out more information on why they are completely redoing this park. Rhonda Ganske, 2159 153rd Lane NW asked how far of a radius from the park they send letters and do a community survey. She said she only lives a few blocks from the park, and she did not receive any communication. Councilmember Nelson said he also lives a few blocks away and he also did not receive anything. Mr. Dickinson said he is not sure how far of a radius they sent communication. Mayor Bukkila noted it is typically not a very far distance. Mr. Dickinson noted they definitely reached out to the residents who live within this development. Councilmember Barthel shared the standards they follow when deciding to replace parks or park equipment. Mr. Dickinson asked if there are any items that are not on the current list that they would like staff to focus on. Mayor Bukkila stated they need to focus on what they need and not try to find other things to spend their money on. Council consensus was reached to direct staff to continue to work on 2024 CIP projects, focusing on roads and public safety. They also requested some more information to be brought back on park maintenance. DISCUSS/REVIEW CITY STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION/2025 BUDGET a. Discuss City Transportation Funding Mr. Dickinson presented the staff report in regard to the Strategic Plan. He discussed the focus on public safety and infrastructure. He moved on to discuss the concept of implementing franchise fees. He gave an update to the assessment rates and the separation of the urban and rural properties and sticking with the 25% assessment. He shared if they did another levy to do the same amount of roads that they did last time, they would be able to bond for $7,600,000, which will be around a $1,000,000 in annual tax levy. He explained if they did this then it would impact a resident with a $400,000 home by $78.48, and if they were to assess at the 25% rate, then the cost would be $59.48. He shared if they did a franchise fee, it would be $4 per account for gas and electric and would be a total cost of $96 for the whole year. He shared where the needed $50,000,000 was going to be coming from, including franchise fees, assessments, levy increases, or utilization of current bonds that will be falling off. He stated if they did not want to do a franchise fee then the projects would have to be adjusted. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 10 Mr. Riechers asked how many miles of road need to be finished in the next few years. Mayor Bukkila stated they have already done 43 miles in the last four years but they need to complete another 80 to 90 miles in the next 10 years. Mr. Riechers asked if the $50,000,000 estimated cost would cover all 90 miles. Mr. Dickinson said yes, with assessments. Mr. Dickinson shared they could probably get these roads done without franchise fees; however, one of their goals was to get a majority of roads completed before they become full reconstruction projects as this would be cheaper in the long run. Mayor Bukkila asked what it would look like if they did not stretch this out. Mr. Dickinson said they would likely have to increase the levy almost 30%. Mayor Bukkila asked why they would be able to do more roads in a shorter amount of time if they did a franchise fee. Mr. Dickinson explained the bonds fall off in 2029 and 2031 and if they did not do franchise fees, he would have to wait until these bonds fall off to get the money. Councilmember Barthel said they could start bonding in a year or two with franchise fees. He stated they would still be bonding for these projects; however, rather than increasing the levy to pay for it, the franchise fees would pay for it. Mr. Dickinson said if they did not do franchise fees and they had to wait until the current bonds fall off to start the projects then it is possible that the roads that just currently need maintenance would become full reconstructs. Councilmember Nelson said the franchise fees could end up costing taxpayers more. Mr. Riechers noted it would be helpful to have a timeline laid out for this. Mr. Dickinson stated franchise fees are not a popular option; however, if they completely took the idea off the table, it would reduce potential options of being able to keep the speed of being able to get these roads done. He added if they do implement franchise fees then it brings in another group of people, those who are tax exempt, to help fund this project. Councilmember Nelson shared his concern with charging the franchise fees to government properties. He added in 10 years when the franchise fees expire, the new Council at that time could decide to re-up the franchise fee. Mr. Dickinson said that would always be a possibility. Councilmember Barthel asked about the difference between implementing the franchise fees which would be an additional $96 per year for residents and increasing the tax levy by $96 per household per year. He asked if they would still be able to bond for the $7,500,000. Mr. Dickinson said yes. He noted franchise fees do not go against their bonding capacity. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 11 Mayor Bukkila shared she is thinking of the regular levy and bonding, which she looks at as cash and bonds. She said she is looking for the numbers on if there is a cash value with a bond that they can levy. Mr. Dickinson explained if they can levy $1,000,000, it will cost $78.48 on a $400,000 home. He said he would spend this amount over the next four years and pay it back over 10 years. Mayor Bukkila said she does not want to do franchise fees and would rather just levy for the dollars needed. She stated they could levy a 10% increase. Mr. Dickinson said if they do $2,000,000 in levy then it would be around a 15-20% increase to the levy. Mr. Riechers suggested they could find $8 in savings per household for utilities to offset the franchise fees. Mr. Dickinson indicated the whole city is not on the city water and sewer utilities, so that would create an inequity. Councilmember Barthel asked if they did everything on a levy right now if they could still decide to do a franchise fee down the road. Mr. Dickinson said yes unless they change the laws that say that they cannot do this. Mr. Dickinson explained there are levy limits that the State can put on cities which could affect this. He added franchise fees diversify the funding. He noted if a future Council wants to renew the franchise fees after 10 years they would have to go through the same process as if they were starting it brand new. Mayor Bukkila asked what would happen if they bonded for a higher amount. Mr. Dickinson said this would increase the levy amount, which would increase the amount from each individual home by around $100. Mr. Dickinson indicated he would not want to bond all at one time as the city can only manage $5-7 million a year. Mayor Bukkila said she would rather bond for a higher amount than implement a franchise fee. Mr. Dickinson asked if they want to completely remove franchise fees from this discussion. He noted there are two Councilmembers absent, one which may support the franchise fees and one who may not support a franchise fee unless it had an expiration date. Mayor Bukkila said she would like to figure out a way to not use franchise fees. Councilmember Nelson said he would rather increase the tax levy than implement franchise fees. Councilmember Barthel noted no matter what this Council puts into place today, a Council in 10 years is going to change it. He said he would much rather have a resident come to him and ask why the City increased taxes 15% than to ask why they hid a franchise fee from the residents. He stated he could argue how they justified a levy increase; however, it would be much harder to argue the franchise fees. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 12 Councilmember Nelson stated franchise fees were not popular in Ramsey when they tried to implement them. Mr. Dickinson stated if they do not want to move forward with the idea of franchise fees then they can focus on the other funding options. He explained if they do not move forward with franchise fees then we would not recommend raising the levy by a lot at the front end as they will not be able to spend the money until some of the current bonds fall off. He said he would prefer to do smaller bonds every two to three years rather than one big levy. He added they are starting this process early so that they can determine the political will to get to the $50,000,000 that they need for these projects. He noted there are going to be other things that are competing for levy dollars. Councilmember Nelson noted the roads do not last as long as they used to. Mr. Dickinson explained they do not last as long as the old mix that they used to use for roads was not environmentally friendly. He added the State also drives the hot mix, and they prescribe for the whole State what the makeup of the mix will be. Mayor Bukkila said she would like to know the funding plan sooner rather than later so that they can share their ideas with the residents before they have to make a final decision on the levy in September. She stated she would still like to keep the project window short and does not want to have to program it out. Mr. Dickinson said the only options would then be to levy and utilize the bonds that are falling off. Mr. Brezinka explained how they could utilize the bonds that will be falling off. Councilmember Barthel asked if they are going to have to bond twice and increase the levy twice, once in 2025 and once in 2027 to make this work. Mr. Dickinson said yes. Mr. Dickinson asked if the Council wants to completely take the idea of franchise fees off the table. He noted if they want to take it off the table then he will not spend any more time working on the franchise fee option. Mayor Bukkila said she would like to move it off of the table while they wait and see what staff brings back for different options without franchise fees. Councilmember Barthel stated the one thing he likes about franchise fees is that they charge organizations that are tax exempt. He stated he would much rather have a levy than a franchise fee. Council consensus was reached to direct staff to come back with more detailed funding options that do not include franchise fees. OTHER TOPICS None. Andover City Council Workshop Meeting Minutes – May 28, 2024 Page 13 ADJOURNMENT Motion by Barthel, Seconded by Nelson, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The workshop meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Ava Major, Recording Secretary
