CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Resolution Amending 2024 City Appointments – The City contracts with MetroWest Inspection Services for building official services. The City was recently notified that MetroWest ownership is being transferred from Todd Geske to Mike and Amber Rosenau. As part of the transition, they have requested that cities update the Building Official designation from Todd to Mike. Mike has been Medina’s primary inspector and contact for several years and staff has worked with Amber in the office. Staff is very confident in Mike and Amber leading the company. Todd and Kathy are going to continue to work at MetroWest for the foreseeable future and staff anticipates a smooth transition. Staff recommends approval of the amended city appointments with Michael D. Rosenau as the City’s building official and fire marshal, with MetroWest Inspection Services to remain as alternate. See attached resolution. B. Approve Road Materials and Equipment Bids – Public Works Director Steve Scherer has attached a memo that outlines the various bids that we received to provide road maintenance improvements in the City. Staff recommends approval of the road material and equipment bids as presented for 2024. See attached memo and bids. C. Approve Lawn & Grounds Services Agreement with Twin City Outdoor Services, Inc. – Staff recommends approval of the 2024-2026 lawn and grounds services agreement with Twin City Outdoor Services. See attached agreement. D. Approve Curb and Concrete Installation Services Agreement with Schmidt Curb Co. – Staff recommends approval of the 2024 mill and paving services agreement with Schmidt Curb Co. See attached agreement. 2 E. Approve Mill and Paving Services Agreement with Omann Brothers Inc. – Staff recommends approval of the 2024 mill and paving services agreement with Omann Brothers. See attached agreement. F. Approve Evidence Room Audit Services Agreement with Axtell Group – While the Police Department conducts annual internal audits of the evidence room, staff learned from other agencies that there is value in having an independent audit. The independent audit was budgeted for in the 2024 budget. In the future, external audits will be completed every other year. Staff recommends approval of the evidence room audit services agreement with Axtell Group. See attached memo and agreement. VII. PRESENTATION A. Maple Plain Fire Department Annual Report – Maple Plain FD will provide their annual report at the meeting. No attachments. B. Long Lake Fire Department Annual Report – Long Lake FD will provide their annual report at the meeting. No attachments. VIII. NEW BUSINESS A. Cates Industrial - Potential Data Acquisition – The City closed on the purchase of the “Cates parcels” east of Willow Drive and north of Chippewa Road at the end of 2023. These parcels were previously the subject of several land use applications requested by Oppidan Investments. As part of those processes, Oppidan had collected a lot of data and prepared various plans for their application. Oppidan indicated support for transferring the information to the City if we agreed to pay a portion of the cost. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends acquiring the survey data (including topography) and geotechnical data. The tree survey data may be useful, but because of the shorter shelf-life, would not recommend splitting that cost. Staff believes acquiring the survey and geotechnical for $17,500 and all three datasets for an additional $500, totaling the purchase at $18,000 would be cost-effective. It is recommended to fund the data purchase from the Future Fire Facility Fund, where the Cates land purchases were funded. XI. APPROVAL TO PAY BILLS Recommended Motion: Motion to approve the bills, order check numbers 055411- 055430 for $48,202.93, EFT 007196E-007204E for $21,814.45, and payroll EFT 0513393-513424 for $78,875.54. 1 Medina City Council Work Session Minutes February 20, 2024 MEDINA CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES OF 1 FEBRUARY 20, 2024 2 3 The City Council of Medina, Minnesota met in work session on February 20, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. 4 at the Medina City Hall, 2052 County Road 24, Medina, MN. 5 6 I. Call to Order 7 8 Members present: Albers, DesLauriers, Cavanaugh (virtual due to travel), Martin (virtual due 9 to travel) 10 Members absent: Reid 11 Also present: City Administrator Scott Johnson, City Clerk/Assistant to the City 12 Administrator Caitlyn Walker, Finance Director Erin Barnhart. Planning Director Dusty Finke, 13 Public Works Director Steve Scherer, Police Sergeant Kevin Boecker, City Engineer Jim 14 Stremel. 15 16 II. Motion to Delegate Duties to Preside Over the Meeting to Council Member Albers 17 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Albers, to delegate duties to preside over the meeting to 18 Council Member Albers. 19 20 A roll call vote was performed: 21 22 Martin aye 23 Cavanaugh aye 24 DesLauriers aye 25 Albers aye 26 27 Motion passed unanimously. 28 29 III. Request for Two Members of the City Council to Attend Meetings Electronically 30 In 2022, Staff implemented technology to allow the option of virtual attendance for council 31 members to participate in council meetings. At the time of implementation, the Council decided 32 to allow only one virtual attendee per meeting. Council Member Cavanaugh requested the 33 Council revisit this topic to evaluate whether more than one virtual attendee should be allowed. 34 Johnson explained that the technology can accommodate up to four virtual attendees and that 35 state law requires that one member be physically present at the regular meeting location. 36 37 DesLauriers expressed support for allowing additional virtual attendees but would like to 38 monitor the quality of the technology with additional virtual attendees. Martin expressed support 39 as the option for additional virtual council members provides the council greater flexibility to 40 have a quorum when council members are traveling and/or are sick. 41 42 The City Council agreed to allow up to four city council members to participate in the city 43 council meetings virtually. 44 45 46 2 Medina City Council Work Session Minutes February 20, 2024 IV. Uptown Hamel Study 1 Finke explained that in 2022, the City of Medina was awarded a $25,000 grant from Hennepin 2 County through their Housing & Economic Development Corridor Planning program. The City 3 contracted with WSB to create an actionable plan for how the City and property owners can 4 encourage and support improvements and development in Uptown Hamel. 5 6 Kim Lindquist of WSB presented the Draft Uptown Hamel Market Analysis and Redevelopment 7 Feasibility Study. Linquist explained the study analyzed the market area and demographics, 8 evaluated market demand, identified the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the 9 area, created development concepts, and provided an action plan. Linquist highlighted there is 10 high demand for food services and that the public engagement survey showed that residents are 11 interested in restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and retail. The development concepts include both 12 multifamily housing and retail areas. 13 14 She explained the strengths of Uptown Hamel are that it is unique, has historic character, and has 15 nearby housing and a park. The weaknesses are that sites are not economical to develop because 16 they require costly redevelopment or renovation and there is no local draw or anchor tenant to 17 draw visitors and other businesses. The opportunity for Uptown Hamel is due to recent 18 population growth resulting in demand for more retail and services. Additionally, there are many 19 community and regional events in the area and the adjoining park. The threats to Uptown Hamel 20 include the competition with Highway 55 sites and the economics of redevelopment are often not 21 feasible due to cost. 22 23 Linquist provided several action items for the City Council to consider. First, consider modifying 24 the city code to encourage economically feasible development. Specifically, evaluate existing 25 height and density limitations. Second, identify potential funding sources and financial tools to 26 assist with redevelopment. Third, work with willing sellers to prioritize sites for future 27 redevelopment and identify acceptable land uses. Fourth, work with local developers and 28 property owners to attract private development interest. Fifth, complete an engineering analysis 29 of Mill Street/Hamel Road/Sioux Drive intersection as many residents, business owners, and 30 developers have safety concerns with the existing intersection. Sixth, continue public education 31 and participation with residents and developers. Overall, Linquist recommended the City Council 32 identify and establish a clear consensus on the vision for the area. 33 34 The City Council thanked Linquist for the report and her presentation. 35 36 V. Brush Pile Gate & Pickleball Gate Discussion 37 Scherer presented that staff is seeking options to alleviate non-emergency calls for police to 38 enforce pickleball court hours. In 2023 there were over 30 calls for police service to the 39 pickleball court. Scherer presented a quote for an automatic lock for the court. The automatic 40 lock would allow staff to program the lock based on the court hours of 7 a.m. to sunset. The goal 41 is to enforce the court hours while reducing the number of calls for service to the police. The 42 3 Medina City Council Work Session Minutes February 20, 2024 total estimate for the automatic gate lock, including installation of power from the parking lot to 1 the gate, is $9,044.00. 2 3 The Council expressed concern about using different enforcement strategies at the pickleball 4 court than the other parks. The Council agreed that rather than spending money on a lock, the 5 first strategy should be a policy that the police do not respond to calls regarding park complaints 6 unless there is an emergency or criminal activity occurring. 7 8 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Martin to recess the Work Session Meeting at 7:00 PM 9 to after the Regular City Council Meeting. 10 11 A roll call vote was performed: 12 13 Martin aye 14 DesLauriers aye 15 Albers aye 16 17 Motion passed unanimously. 18 19 Motion by DesLauriers, seconded by Albers to reopen the Work Session Meeting at 7:37 20 PM. 21 22 A roll call vote was performed: 23 24 Martin aye 25 Cavanaugh aye 26 DesLauriers aye 27 Albers aye 28 29 Motion passed unanimously. 30 31 V. Brush Pile Gate & Pickleball Gate Discussion Continued 32 Scherer explained the cost of operating the brush and compost site has drastically increased over 33 the last few years. Costs have steadily increased to $60,000 per year and continue to increase. To 34 help mitigate the rising costs, Scherer presented three options for the Council to consider. First, 35 consider installing a card reader system and issuing a card to residents who wish to utilize the 36 site. This would help prevent residents of other communities from utilizing the site. The card 37 reader system's estimated cost is $12,634. Second, reconsider allowing commercial haulers to 38 use the site. Currently, commercial haulers who do work for Medina residents are allowed to use 39 the site. The problem is commercial haulers often leave a significant amount of brush and there 40 are no staff to monitor whether they leave brush that belonged to residents outside of Medina. 41 Third, reconsider sharing the site with the residents of Loretto. Currently, Loretto pays for half of 42 the brush grinding and removal services and Loretto has requested to renegotiate the agreement. 43 44 The City Council agreed to move forward with the implementation of the card reader system. 45 They agreed that the cards should be administered to residents for a fee to encourage residents to 46 4 Medina City Council Work Session Minutes February 20, 2024 not share their card with other people. Additionally, the Council agreed not to allow any 1 commercial use of the site. The Council requested that once these policies are implemented, staff 2 should evaluate the reduction in brush and costs before renegotiating with Loretto. 3 4 IV.

MOTION TO DELEGATE DUTIES TO PRESIDE OVER THE MEETING TO 20 COUNCILMEMBER ALBERS 21 Moved by DesLauriers, seconded by Martin, to delegate duties to preside over the 22 meeting to Councilmember Albers. 23 24 A roll call vote was performed: 25 26 Martin aye 27 DesLauriers aye 28 Albers aye 29 30 Motion passed unanimously. 31 32 It was acknowledged that Cavanaugh was present via video but because his audio 33 connection was not working at this time, he would not qualify as a remote participant. 34 The Council will continue to check in with Cavanaugh to determine if the audio 35 connection is reestablished. 36 37 III. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE (7:02 p.m.) 38 Albers asked the group to take a moment of silence for the two Police Officers and First 39 Responder that were killed in an incident in Burnsville this past weekend. 40 41 IV.

Park Commission 18 Scherer reported that the February Park Commission meeting has been canceled. He 19 stated that staff and the Commission are currently working to update the parks asset list. 20 He stated that pricing has been received for the mowing contract, which will soon come 21 before the Council. He stated that the paving prices have mainly been reduced this year 22 and therefore even though he will not be present at the March 6th meeting, that item will 23 most likely appear on the agenda. 24 25 DesLauriers asked if the park fund contribution was based off the asset list and likely 26 ongoing costs. 27 28 Scherer explained that contribution was based on funds that were accessible. 29 30 DesLauriers stated that perhaps going forward they could put some more math and 31 reasoning behind the contribution. 32 33 Scherer confirmed that is the intent. 34 35 C. Planning Commission 36 Finke reported that the Planning Commission met the previous week to consider a 37 request for a PUD amendment from Meander Park and Boardwalk pertaining to the 38 event venue. He stated that the applicant requested additional height for that building 39 and after discussion the Commission recommended approval of the request. He stated 40 that the second request was a rezoning request from UR-RR to R-1 for consistency with 41 the Comprehensive Plan and the Commission recommended approval of the rezoning. 42 43 VII.

He 40 stated that this process identifies the areas that most need protection from 41 contaminates. 42 43 Greer stated that wellhead protection plans are completed in two parts and are required 44 by the State and must be updated every ten years.

He stated that part one 46 focuses on delineating the wellhead protection areas, which is completed through 47 groundwater monitoring. He highlighted the new delineations and also identified the 48 drinking water supply management area (DWSMA). He provided additional details on 49 the work that will be done in part two of the wellhead protection plan. 50 51 Medina City Council Meeting Minutes February 20, 2024 4 Scherer referenced the change in the area around Morningside and asked if that is due 1 to modeling. 2 3 Greer commented that since the last plan was completed there is more information 4 known from the geology association and other details, therefore the new models have 5 much more information available. 6 7 Scherer commented that it is good news that the City does not have any vulnerable 8 wells. 9 10 IX.

Fourteen sealed bid responses were received for the various items listed on the bid form prior to the deadline, which were then opened in public on Tuesday, February 20 at 10:00 a.m. Contractor responses have been recorded on the 2024 Road Materials and Equipment Bid Tabulation (Exhibit A). Certain street work will need to be performed by a single contractor to ensure scheduling efficiencies and continuity of work, and to appropriately preserve warranties, and so staff intends to contract for such work depending on the low contract price of such work in the aggregate and notwithstanding whether the low bidding contractor was the low bidder on each individual item. No bids were received for bid items #29 & #30. Equipment Rental (bid items #32 & #35) varied slightly and therefore, each rental would be evaluated for the type and size of equipment needed for each particular job. See Additional Remarks for miscellaneous equipment. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council accept the bids and direct staff to engage with contractors on a project-specific basis to ensure that all required project work is performed by the low bidder in the aggregate. If unexpected issues arise (i.e., scheduling/delivery needs), it may be necessary to engage the contractor with the second lowest bid. Construction contracts will be prepared and presented for City Council consideration at one or more future meetings.

CITY OF MEDINA By_____________________________ Kathleen Martin, Mayor By ______________________________ Caitlyn Walker, City Clerk OMANN BROTHERS, INC. (CONTRACTOR) By ______________________________ Kelly Omann TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Nelson, Director of Public Safety DATE: February 29, 2024 RE: Evidence Room Audit Contract BACKGROUND I have been evaluating the need for an independent audit of the police department’s evidence room. This is something that has never been done in my 24 plus years on the police department and there is no mandate to have an audit. We do conduct an internal audit once a year and have never found any issues, but I have spoken with other law enforcement leaders throughout Minnesota and attended state and national conferences where this subject was discussed. They thought that it was a good idea to have external audits done to ensure policies and procedures are current and being followed. I have budgeted for this in 2024 budget and will be moving forward every other year audits. This is listed as one of my first quarter goals for 2024. I have researched the subject and settled with the Axtell Group as a vendor. I believe they will do a great job and are very cost effective compared to others in the market space. The contract has been reviewed by City Attorney Dave Anderson. REQUESTED ACTION I would ask council to approve the contract so that we can move forward with the audit in March of 2024. Agenda Item 5F THE AXTELL GROUP Professional Services Agreement This Agreement (the "Agreement"), effective March 1, 2024, ("Effective Date") is by and between The Axtell Group, a Minnesota limited liability company ("The Axtell Group"), and the City of Medina, Minnesota, a Minnesota municipal corporation, on behalf of its Medina Police Department ("Client"), each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties".

THE CITY OF MEDINA: THE AXTELL GROUP, LLC: By: By: Kathleen Martin 'Todd Axtell Its: Mayor Its: President and CEO Date: By: Scott Johnson Its: City Administrator Date: Date: ,Z9 "ebb 20aif 6 ME230-1 P-93 3374.v2 THE AXTELL GROUP EXHIBIT A The Proposal [To be included] 7 ME230-1P-933374.v2 Cates Industrial Park Page 1 of 2 March 6, 2024 Potential Data Acquisition City Council Meeting TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director DATE: February 29, 2024 MEETING: March 6, 2024 City Council SUBJECT: Cates Industrial – Potential Data Acquisition Background The City closed on the purchase of the “Cates parcels” east of Willow Drive and north of Chippewa Road at the end of 2023. These parcels were previously the subject of several land use applications requested by Oppidan Investments. As part of those processes, Oppidan had collected a lot of data and prepared various plans for their application. Staff contacted Jay Moore from Oppidan about the possibility of getting access to the data. Mr. Moore indicated support for transferring the information to the City if we would split the cost. Staff believes the “existing conditions” information is the most helpful because it would be applicable to any future use of the parcels. The plan data specific to the Cates Industrial project is substantially more expensive and may not be used for alternative layouts. Following are the costs provided by Oppidan for the existing condition data: City Engineer Stremel reviewed the estimated costs and believed they are reasonable estimates for the data. The survey data and geotechnical information would have a long shelf-life and could be useful for years to come. The shelf-life for the tree survey is shorter and generally only accurate for a few years. Mr. Moore indicated that they had spent well over $100,000 on creation of the proposed plans. Staff did not believe splitting this cost made sense and did not discuss some lower amount. The City Council can direct staff to discuss with the developer at some lower cost if there is interest in the data. Estimated Cost 1/2 Cost Survey data (including topography) 15,000 7,500 Geotechnical information 20,000 10,000 Tree Survey 8,500 4,250 $21,750 MEMORANDUM Cates Industrial Park Page 2 of 2 March 6, 2024 Potential Data Acquisition City Council Meeting Staff Recommendation Staff recommends acquiring the survey data (including topography) and geotechnical data. The tree survey data may be useful, but because of the shorter shelf-life, would not recommend splitting that cost. Staff believes acquiring the survey and geotechnical for $17,500 and all three datasets for an additional $500, totaling the purchase at $18,000 would be cost-effective. It is recommended to fund the data purchase from the Future Fire Facility Fund, where the Cates land purchases were funded. Planning Department Update Page 1 of 2 March 6, 2024 City Council Meeting TO: Mayor Martin and Members of the City Council FROM: Dusty Finke, Planning Director DATE: February 29, 2024 MEETING: March 6, 2024 City Council SUBJECT: Planning Department Updates Land Use Application Review A) Meander Park and Boardwalk – Meander Rd, east of Arrowhead Dr – Medina Ventures has requested another amendment to the Planned Unit Development for the project to add a mezzanine level to the event venue. This would increase the height of the first story and increase the overall height of the structure to approximately 50 feet. City regulations do not currently permit height above 45 feet, so the applicant has requested that the PUD allow for this height. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at the February 13 meeting. Following a thorough discussion about potential implications, the Commission unanimously recommended approval with additional conditions. The applicant is updating plans and preparing supplemental information as recommended by Planning Commission. Staff will present to Council when the information is provided. B) 500 Hamel Road Apartment Site Plan Review – Medina Apartments LLC has requested review of a site plan review for development of an 89-unit apartment building at 500 Hamel Rd. The application is currently incomplete for review. The Planning Commission was scheduled to review at the December 12 meeting. The developer requested postponement of the hearing, and staff is waiting to hear back on the schedule. C) Spotless and Seamless Site Plan Review – 2382 Highway 55 – Spotless and Seamless Exteriors have requested approval of a Site Plan Review to construct a new warehouse/office building. The applicant proposes to demolish the existing motel and redevelop the site. The application is currently incomplete for review and will be scheduled for hearing when necessary information is submitted. D) 1225 Maplewood Concept Plan – John and Lisa James have requested review of a concept plan for a three-lot subdivision. Staff is conducting preliminary review and will schedule a public hearing when complete. E) Reiser-Hauser Lot Line Rearrangement – 1622 and 1642 Dusty Drive – Mary Lou and William Reiser have requested a lot line rearrangement to convey a portion of their property to a neighbor. Council reviewed and approved on February 6. Staff is working with the owners to get necessary documents recorded. F) School Lake Nature Preserve 3rd Addition and PUD Amendment – School Lake Nature Preserve LLC has requested to separate the area of the formal garden from one of the lots within the development. The garden area is proposed as a stand alone outlot. The City Council granted approval at the September 19 meeting. Staff will work with the applicant to finalize documents necessary to meet the conditions of approval. G) Preserve of Medina (fka Blooming Meadows) – east of Holy Name Dr, north of CR24 – Tim Boser has requested PUD General Plan and Preliminary Plat approval for a 5-lot rural subdivision. The applicant proposes to restore a large area of wetlands and create a wetland bank in addition to the lots. The City Council granted general plan of development and preliminary plat approval on August 2. Staff will await final plat application. MEMORANDUM Planning Department Update Page 2 of 2 March 6, 2024 City Council Meeting H) BAPS Site Plan Review – 1400 Hamel Road – BAPS Minneapolis Medina has requested an amendment to their approved site plan review. The Council approved the amended Site Plan Review at the December 6, 2022 meeting. The applicant has submitted site/civil construction plans for review and has indicated that they may move forward with site work in the spring of 2024. The applicant has indicated that building construction likely would not begin until the spring of 2024. I) Hamel Townhomes Final Plat – 342 Hamel Rd – Hamel Townhomes, LLC has requested final plat approval for a 30-unit townhome development. The Council granted final plat approval on August 16.

The application is incomplete for review and will be scheduled for a hearing when complete. K) Pioneer Trail Preserve – This project has been preliminarily approved and the City is awaiting final plat application. Other Projects A) 4612 County Road 116 – Staff intends to initiate a rezoning for this vacant property which is currently being marketed. The parcel was zoned RR-UR because it used to contain a home on a septic system. Utilities have now been stubbed from the Reserve of Medina near the site, and staff believes an R1 zoning district is more appropriate because the site ought to be connected to the City system. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at the February 13 meeting and unanimously recommended approval. B) Enforcement Actions – Staff is working on three enforcement matters. C) Out of Office – I will be having shoulder surgery on March 6. I anticipate being out for post-op recovery until March 15 and hope to return to work after, potentially with some limitations. TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Nelson, Director of Public Safety DATE: February 29, 2024 RE: Department Updates On February 19th Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge along with Fire Paramedic Adam Finseth were killed in the line of duty and Sergeant Adam Medlicott was also shot after responding to a domestic call. These heroes were just doing their jobs and it is the grim reality of what could happen to any of us when we put on the uniform every day. This does not deter us from continuing to do our jobs; as a matter of fact, it makes our police and fire families stronger and gives us more conviction to protect and serve. It truly is the ultimate sacrifice and something I hope that we never have to deal with in Medina. On February 24th our agency had the honor to assist the Woodridge Church with a private service for Officer Paul Elmstrand. Officer Elmstrand and his wife Cindy are members of the congregation at Woodridge Church. Over 1,000 people showed up to show their respects at a private service for family, close friends, Burnsville Police and Fire, and the congregation. This was an all-hands-on-deck event for our department, and we could not have accomplished all this without the assistance of Chief Fadden from the Plymouth Police Department and all its personnel. This was one of the largest operational and logistical events that I have ever been involved in Medina. It was a beautiful service that was very touching. I am proud of how everyone stepped up to make the event a success. On February 27th Officer Converse worked his final shift. His official retirement date is February 29th. We honored Keith’s last day by having a party which was well attended. We will sure miss Keith but are happy that he is moving on to the next chapter of his life. His next full-time job is being a grandparent and working on the honey-do list. On February 28th, we held the annual West Metro Drug Task Force luncheon. This is where we thank the members for the great work from the previous year and acknowledge those that completed their time on the task force for their agencies. This is really the only exposure that area City Councils have to those that are working undercover. As you know, due to the nature of their job, most of what they do goes unnoticed or unreported to the council or the community. Patrol: The following are updates of Patrol Officers between February 13, 2024, and February 27, 2024: Citations – 28 Warnings – 151 PD Accidents – 4 PI Accidents – 3 Medicals – 16 Falls – 2 Suspicious Calls – 11 Traffic Complaints – 6 Other Agency Assists – 19 Business/Residential Alarm - 6 Welfare Checks - 2 Disturbance Calls - 1 On 02/14/2024 at 0848 hours officer was dispatched to take a burglary report at a residence in the 200 block of Hamel Road. Homeowner reported someone had forced entry into a detached garage on the property but reported nothing known to have been taken at this time. On 02/14/2024 at 2232 hours officer was dispatched to assist HCSO on a missing person report. Female reported her husband had gone fishing earlier in the day and had not yet returned. Victim’s vehicle was found at the Baker Park boat launch parking area. HCSO eventually located the males ATV running on the lake near open water. The male was later discovered deceased in open water on the southwest portion of the lake. On 02/16/2024 at 0907 hours officer was dispatched to a theft report in the 2600 block of Hamel Road. Victim reported to have had $56,000 in cryptocurrency stolen through a phishing scam. Victim provided documentation to the officer. Victim was provided identity theft information, and the case will be forwarded to Investigations for follow up. On 02/17/2024 at 2331 hours officers responded to assist HCSO on an attempted robbery at the Tower Terrace Trailer Park near Rockford.

Paving prices are generally lower than 2023. We will utilize Omann Bros. for milling and reclaiming to keep consistency in ownership of the paving projects, even though they are not low bid on those items. Water/Sewer/Stormwater • I met with WSB at the treatment plant once more to put together a proposal for the treatment plant expansion. • Public Works has been very busy installing the new radios as we’ve been awaiting our upgraded reading system. • Public Works is several weeks into the EPA mandated lead waterline project and is making good progress on both the city and homeowner portion of the service line identification inventory. Parks/Trails • With the weather warming up I received calls to open the pickle ball courts, which are now up and running. It is very early in the year and signage with the new hours has not yet been made. • We started staking the new Deer Hill trail easement to help Public Works begin the process of planning and installing the first leg of the trail corridor. • Bid proposals for lawn and grounds are in your packet for the 2024-26 seasons. • I will be working with HAC on the 2024 grounds contract as soon as we award the mowing contract (so we have accurate financial data for the season). Miscellaneous • I will be out of the office on vacation from February 29 through March 8.
