vendors in downtown Red Wing and Central Park. The event is scheduled for October 10-

8.E. Motion to Approve the Solid Waste Delivery Agreement with Lightning Disposal,
Incorporated.
This agreement provides Lightning Disposal with a disposal rate in exchange for its long-
term commitment to deliver municipal solid waste to the City's Waste Campus, including
municipal solid waste from the metropolitan area that may become available through the
Consent Decree process. Under the metropolitan landfill Consent Decree and associated
Schedule of Compliance, metropolitan landfills may deliver municipal solid water to the
City when the Waste Campus identifies an anticipated need for additional processing
volumes. This process maximizes the use of existing resource recovery infrastructure
where processing capacity is available while supporting Minnesota's waste management
hierarchy.

for the Battle of the Badges Event at the Athletic Field on August 22, 2026.

Management Plan and to Direct Staff to Incorporate the Recommended Multi-Year Asset
Management Plan into the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan Starting in 2027.
As part of the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan, the Public Works Department retained
Walker Consultants to conduct a comprehensive condition assessment of the City's three
municipal parking ramps and prepare an updated asset management plan. The
assessment evaluated structural components, waterproofing systems, concrete
deterioration, joint sealants, drainage systems, and other building elements to identify
existing deficiencies and establish repair priorities. This assessment is performed every
ten years to help ensure appropriate maintenance, support long-term capital planning,
and extend the service life of the City's parking ramps.
8.H. Motion to Approve Private Use of Public Property (PUPP) Application for Night to Unite.
Night to Unite is held annually on the first Tuesday in August and is a statewide event that
