COMMUNITY—Karen and Gordon Fevig expressed concerns to the City Council as a result of a billing received
for a water main repair at 300 Lincoln Ave NW on May 4, 2023. Their dispute with the billing is due to the repairs
to the water line being under the street and not directly on their property. The City of Twin Valley follows the
Minnesota Rural Water policy that property owners are responsible for their entire service line up to the
connection to the City main service line, only to exclude the city shut off valve. Mr. Fevig disagreed with this
policy, expressing that many other cities do not operate under the same guidelines therefore the City of Twin
Valley should not either. Council expressed that the City will not be changing policy at this time.
PB/ML-m/s/p to approve building permit request to erect a storage shed at 605 Main Ave E.
PB/TC-m/s/p to approve a donation of $100.00 towards Titan Athletics.
LIQUOR STORE—Gross sales for July, $63,910.22. YTD cash basis at 07/31/23 shows revenue of $5,509.40. Clerk
Johnson updated the Council on financials and inventory. A full inventory has been completed, showing a
discrepancy of $8979.36. Many single item discrepancies were found during the inventory, some being accounted
for due to items not properly entered into the POS and inventory system. Will reset the system for new
management for the remainder of the year. Another inventory check will be completed by the new management
and liquor committee in the coming months, as well as spot checks monthly. Beer garden final income from Town
& Country Days totaled 700.99. ML/MA-m/s/p to approve donation to the Twin Valley Community Booster Club.
Interim assistant manager Nysetvold updated the Council on events. Expressed need for more bartending
staff. Previous employee, Denise Rasmussen, has returned to cover some day shifts until school resumes in
4
September. Nysetvold will also be reaching out to previous employee Karen Simon-Thompson to inquire about
returning one day per week, but would like to advertise for more evening help. MA/TC-m/s/p to advertise for
more part-time bartenders.
Briefly discussed Manager position. Six applications have been received. Each member of the Council will choose
their top 2-3 picks and Johnson will schedule interviews as soon as possible with the top candidates.
PUBLIC WORKS—Askelson gave a general report of operations. Will be exercising water valves this week, with
sewer line cleaning planned for the next week. Has spoken with Maguire about having the water tower repainted

of such undertaking by issuance of its bonds in the principal amount of Two Million One Hundred Eight Thousand
pursuant to the provisions of MN Statutes Chapter 475, 444 and Sec. 115.46; and
WHEREAS, the Association intends to obtain assistance from the United States Department of Agriculture,
(herein called the Government) acting under the provisions of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act
(7 U.S.C. 1921 et seq.) in the planning. financing, and supervision of such undertaking and the purchasing of
bonds lawfully issued, in the event that no other acceptable purchaser for such bonds is found by the Association:
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises the Association hereby resolves:

such items and in such forms as are required by State statutes and as are agreeable and acceptable to the
Government.
2. To refinance the unpaid balance, in whole or in part, of its bonds upon the request of the Government if at any
time
it shall appear to the Government that the Association is able to refinance its bonds by obtaining a loan for such
purposes from responsible cooperative or private sources at reasonable rates and terms for loans for similar
purposes and periods of time as required by section 333(c) of said Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act
(7 U.S.C. 1983(c)).
3. To provide for, execute, and comply with Form RD 400-4, "Assurance Agreement," and Form RD 400-1, "Equal

access to the property of the system so that the Government may ascertain that the Association is complying with
the provisions hereof and of the instruments incident to the making or insuring of the loan.
14. That if the Government requires that a reserve account be established, disbursements from that account(s)
may be used when necessary for payments due on the bond if sufficient funds are not otherwise available and
prior approval of the Government is obtained. Also, with the prior written approval of the Government, funds may
be withdrawn and used for such things as emergency maintenance, extensions to facilities and replacement of
short-lived assets.
15. To provide adequate service to all persons within the service area who can feasibly and legally be served and
to obtain USDA’s concurrence prior to refusing new or adequate services to such persons. Upon failure to provide
services which are feasible and legal, such person shall have a direct right of action against the Association or
public body.
16. To comply with the measures identified in the Government's environmental impact analysis for this facility for
the purpose of avoiding or reducing the adverse environmental impacts of the facility's construction or operation.

authorized and empowered to take all action necessary or appropriate in the execution of all written instruments
as may be required in regard to or as evidence of such grant; and to operate the facility under the terms offered in
said grant agreement(s).
The provisions hereof and the provisions of all instruments incident to the making or the insuring of the loan,
unless otherwise specifically provided by the terms of such instrument, shall be binding upon the Association as
long as the bonds are held or insured by the Government or assignee. The provisions of sections 6 through 17
hereof may be provided for in more specific detail in the bond resolution or ordinance; to the extent that the
provisions contained in such bond resolution or ordinance should be found to be inconsistent with the provisions
