Mayor Zietlow presided. I. ROLL CALL Members Present: Workman, Lane, Zietlow, and Smith. Members Absent: Brinkman. Also Present: City Attorney Ron Batty, Public Works Director Jim Dil[man, City Engineer Tom Kellogg, City Administrator Chad Adams, and Recording Secretary Carla Wirth. II. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE III.

Non -Intoxicating Malt Liquor On -Sale License — Hamel Athletic Club B. Resolution Granting a Conditional Use Permit to Rolling Green Country Club for a Swimming Pool and Cabana Expansion Mayor Zietlow asked to remove Item A, Non -Intoxicating Malt Liquor On -Sale License - Hamel Athletic Club, from the consent agenda. Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to approve consent agenda item B. Motion passed unanimously. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 124 A. Non -Intoxicating Malt Liquor On -Sale License — Hamel Athletic Club Mayor Zietlow asked if liquor should be sold in a public park if youth games are going on in the park. Workman stated adults will be present so there will be adequate supervision and the rules will be followed. Lane suggested that responsibility be imposed on the licensee so if there is a violation it is clear it is not the City's liability but the liability of the athletic club since they are the licensee and seller. He stated he is not aware of any past problems but understands that as the crowds get larger, it may become a concern. Smith stated it appears the concern is not that liquor would be sold to minors, but the fact that liquor is being sold in the presence of minors. Mayor Zietlow stated that is correct. An audience member asked if an area for consumption should be designated. Smith noted that may be a concern if liquor is sold only in one area but adult games are taking place at several diamonds. Workman stated that since there have not been past problems, he would prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, he supported adding language indicating the responsibility rests with the Hamel Athletic Club. Mayor Zietlow noted it already requires the approval of the Police Chief so maybe that would be addressed. He asked that this language be clarified. Lane asked if this item should be tabled so a representative of the Hamel Athletic Club can attend the next meeting to answer questions. He noted this is a year -long liquor license and asked if a $10 fee is adequate. He also asked what insurance limits have been carried in the past. Adams stated he is unsure. Lane suggested the Hamel Athletic Club be asked to provide that information at the next Council meeting to assure the City is adequately covered. Moved by Workman, seconded by Lane, to table consideration of the request from the Hamel Athletic Club for a non -intoxicating malt liquor on -sale license to May 6, 2003. Motion passed unanimously. VI. COMMENTS A. Comments from Citizens on Items not on the Agenda There were none. B. Park Commission Dillman reported that the Park Commission is close to finishing the Trail Plan. Once finished, it will be presented to the City Council. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 125 C. Planning Commission Kohnen stated the Planning Commission will be considering a CUP for the old Subway building since there are new owners. It will be changed to a "you bake pizza shop." Kohnen reported that he and Adams met with the Uptown Hamel group and a developer who is looking at developing the old Bouley house. The developer is proposing a nice design with retail on the street level, office on the top, and six condos in the back. Kohnen stated that this group raised their dues from $25 to $50 a year and staff is suggesting the City join this group so staff has the ability to provide input. Mayor Zietlow asked that this item be placed on an upcoming agenda. Smith asked if she is able to join the Uptown Hamel group. Attorney Batty stated that councilmembers have rights as individuals and there is nothing wrong with joining as an individual. VII. BUSINESS A. Planning 1. Rolling Green Business Center — County Road 116/Meander Road — Re-Zoning/Plat/Site Plan Review Kohnen advised that John' Kingelhutz wishes to subdivide and rezone the 37.73 acre parcel which is owned by Mr. Woodhouse. The property is located west of County Road 116 and Meander Road and south of the Foxberry Farm subdivision. The current zoning of the property is BP -Business Park. He noted the property will be split into four parcels, three of which will be outlots and then Block 1. Block 1 will consist of 43 smaller parcels which are on a large lot for a total of 44 parcels. Kohnen reviewed the acres for the outlots and Block 1, noting the minimum lot area in the BP zone is five acres. Block 1 is requested to be rezoned BP-PUD which would allow for the 44 parcels on the 10.55 acres. Kohnen explained that the use of the 44 smaller parcels would be office with some storage in the buildings. The proposed buildings will have a residential exterior look with brick and lap siding and a shingled, pitched roof. On Outlot B and Block 1, a part of existing Meander Road is requested to be vacated. A utility easement in the northeast portion of Block 1 is also requested to be vacated. The vacations will be done by a public hearing held by the City Council at a future date set by the City Council. Kohnen advised that the platting of this property will require that Meander Road be platted and constructed with a base and no blacktop to the west side of the wetland that runs north and south thru the plat. Utilities will also be extended to the west side of the same wetland. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat with eight conditions. Kohnen stated the applicant is also requesting the rezoning of Lot 1, Block 1, from Business Park -BP to Business Park PUD which consists of 43 parcels or lots. Lots 1-43 will have buildings built on them in a residential -style architecture. The proposal is similar to a townhouse project in that the lots and buildings will be under separate ownership with an association. This PUD and proposal are being reviewed using Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 126 Ordinance 832 from the Zoning Code. The proposed use is office, which is a permitted use. Kohnen stated staff recommends approval of the rezoning from BP to BP-PUD with 16 conditions. Kohnen presented a map identifying the subject property and plat. He noted the location of the road and building sites. Kohnen pointed out a corner location recommended for additional landscaping. He then displayed the floor plans and exterior elevation. Kohnen showed the Council a colored artists rendition of the project. He stated he has suggested that dormers be added to break up the roof line. Kohnen displayed a drawing depicting the street area truck entrance which he did not think would be noticeable due to the shrubs and landscaping. Workman asked what the market is for this type of unit. Tom Dunsmore, representing the applicant, stated they will be about $160 to $180 per square foot and the walkouts will be about $118 to $125 per square foot. The target market will be lawyers, dentists, manufacturing representatives, photographer studio, accountants, mortgage bankers, etc. Workman noted that parking is one per 400 square foot of office space. Kohnen stated that is the ordinance requirement. Workman stated 265 are required with 209 being installed and proof of parking for 52 others for a total of 261 spaces, which is still short of the requirement. Kohnen noted that not all of the square footage is for office space. Mr. Dunsmore stated the parking proposed is similar to what they have done with other projects. He noted that some tenants will not have many employees so the need for parking averages out to be adequate. Workman asked if each employee will have 200 square feet of space. Mr. Dunsmore stated that may be close but you also have to consider halls and bathrooms. Kohnen stated the State Building Code uses 200 square feet per occupant to determine a building's occupant load. Workman asked if there are options to add additional parking. Terry Schneider stated they can expand proof of parking by 120 spaces, if needed. Kohnen noted an area on the site plan that could accommodate additional parking. Mr. Schneider stated there is also area in the center courtyard that could be used for parking. Mr. Dunsmore advised of the other projects they have constructed and sold. Mr. Schneider clarified that Condition #9 was changed during the Planning Commission but the building is 35 feet in height so it meets the height requirement based on the ordinance. Mayor Zietlow noted that Condition #9 says the building will be reduced to 35 feet. Mr. Schneider explained that the building complied with that requirement without modification so Condition #9 is irrelevant. Kohnen suggested it be revised to state "building must meet ordinance height requirement." Mr. Schneider stated he is proud to work on this project which he believes meets the park requirement intent and has character and style. He stated this will set a positive Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 127 tone for the rest of the commercial park for mature quality, residential appearance, and be a real asset to the City. He stated they will meet the additional landscape requirement and the dormers are a reasonable request, even though it adds cost to the project. Mr. Schneider requested consideration on the determination of the park fees. He stated this is a unique project since each townhouse has its own parcel so it is a different consideration when calculating park fees. He stated the exact extent of pavement on Meander Road is another consideration. He explained that if the cost of the units gets too high, the risk gets too high and the units are no longer affordable. He noted this is a small project so additional cost burdens will change that feasibility. Mr. Schneider stated they understand the north/south alignment of Meander Road may not change much due to the location of wetlands. However, once the Jupert property develops they will redivide to create a more appropriate site plan which may change the road alignment. Another impact will be the types of facilities constructed. Mr. Schneider stated they are concerned about carrying the burden of extra paving on Meander Road which may not be in the correct location or elevation. He requested consideration to pave to the 342 foot line and then have a Class IV base that can accommodate emergency vehicles. He stated if that is agreeable, they will sign a waiver of assessment for when the road is installed. Smith asked why the City wants it paved. Kellogg stated he recommended it be paved all the way across because typically in a subdivision, the applicant would be asked to pave at least to the lot line. However, a waiver of assessment is a reasonable option. He noted the area where there will be wetland fill to get the road across and advised that it will be a rural design in that area. Kellogg stated he would not object to their request but would recommend that utilities (sewer and water) be installed all the way across so the road base does not have to be disturbed in the future when the road is constructed. Attorney Batty stated a waiver of assessments agreement will be signed by everyone with an interest in the properties and an apportionment of the assessments would also have to be agreed to. That agreement would be filed with the property. He reviewed a similar past action taken with the church entrance lanes. Mr. Schneider stated they would agree to install the utility lines through the wetlands. Mr. Schneider stated the other consideration they would like is with how park dedication fees are calculated. He stated there are several ways to look at it: 5% or up to 10% of the assessed market value of the property (prior to subdivision and development); or no less than $3,300 per lot. Mr. Schneider stated there are four lots in the plat that are now being subdivided so that would equal $13,000 and 5% is about $26,000. He asked if the $3,300 per lot is applied to all four lots. Smith stated that park dedication fee schedule of $3,300 per lot is incorrect and the City has an ordinance that is followed. Attorney Batty stated the ordinance requires a reasonable park dedication fee, up to 10%. In this case, it would consider the entire parcel since that is what is being platted. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 128 Lane noted that based on the land value indicated by Mr. Schneider, 10% would be $5,200. Attorney Batty stated it is based on the value of the property immediately prior to submission of the preliminary plat. The City generally asks the City Assessor to determine a value. If the property owner feels the value is not correct, it can be discussed. Mr. Schneider stated if the City agrees to allow them to pave only to 342 feet, they will install utilities and sign a waiver of assessments. Lane asked about the sequence for Council to consider this application. Attorney Batty stated there are three applications before the Council: 1) preliminary plat approval with conditions recommended by the Planning Commission plus he would recommend including that final plat approval be subject to approval of the rezoning; 2) rezoning from BP -Business Park to Business Park PUD for southeast quadrant and that final development approval is subject to final plat approval; and 3) site plan approval which staff recommends not be acted on tonight due to a grading change at the developer's request. Kohnen stated the memorandum also mentions the change to the dormers on the buildings facing the wetland and Foxberry. Smith stated that is fine if the applicant wants to put the dormers on but since it's an additional cost she would not want it to be a requirement. Bill Ciora, 915 Sunset Court, stated he and other homeowners attended the Planning Commission meeting. He stated that overall they are pleased with what is being presented. However, the original plan included the dormers which gives more of a residential appearance. Mr. Ciora stated this is the view the residents see so that is what they prefer. In addition, residents prefer the road not be paved until it is needed. He asked what happens to a paved roadway that is not used for several years. Mayor Zietlow stated he thinks the buildings already have a residential appearance. Mr. Dunsmore stated they will have a fire setback issue with the center unit and suggested instead that the front elevation dormers be matched. Smith stated residents should be very pleased with this project. Mayor Zietlow clarified that the site plan is not being considered tonight by the Council. Mr. Schneider stated they want to work cooperatively with the neighbors so they will talk with them and return with new elevations. Workman stated he agrees with the applicant's request to not pave the entire roadway as long as a waiver of assessments is provided. Kellogg stated the utilities will also need to be extended as well as completion of the wetland mitigation. Kohnen stated the Council will need to schedule a meeting to consider the vacation of easements. Attorney Batty advised that a two -week notice is required and suggested it Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 129 be coordinated with the final plat approval. He informed the Council of additional standard conditions that are automatically added to the resolution. Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to authorize staff to prepare a resolution to approve the preliminary plat for PUD Block One of Rolling Green Business Center with eight conditions and conditioned upon completion of the rezoning. Motion passed unanimously. Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to authorize staff to prepare a resolution to approve the concept plan approval for PUD for Rolling Green Business Center, LLC, with 11 conditions, amending Condition #9 to indicate the building height must meet the ordinance requirement, a 10 % park dedication fee based on appraised value established by the City Assessor, and conditioned upon final plat approval. Lane noted the rezoning is for proposed Block 1 only. Attorney Batty stated that is correct. Motion passed unanimously. Attorney Batty suggested the public hearing to vacate the easement be scheduled for May 20, 2003. Moved by Smith, seconded by Lane, to establish public hearings on the drainage and utility easements of Block 1 on May 20, 2003. Motion passed unanimously. Kohnen stated the applicant has been easy to work with and a second sixty days has started to run and will run to June 11, 2003. Attorney Batty noted the applicant precipitated a grading plan change. Mr. Schneider explained that the Watershed District requested a lower elevation because of the drainage and they think that final approval would be received by the end of this week. Mr. Schneider stated he has no objection to a second 60 day consideration and they plan to keep the process moving forward. B. Public Works 1. Water Treatment Studv and Water Supply Studv Dillman presented information regarding the water treatment cost options and water supply options. He noted that the Hamel water system receives its supply from three wells, #2, #3, and #4. Dillman advised of the three alternates recommended and stated his support to start the process to upgrade Well #4 so capacity is not an issue during high usage summer months. Dillman reviewed the information regarding treatment options, noting the total cost per month for radium and gross alpha reduction is $8.62 per 1000 gallons. Workman stated if that well is lost it is over 50% of the City's current capacity. He stated his preference to see more wells rather than concentrate it in one location. Dillman stated Well #4 will need to be upgraded to get the City through the summer and allow time for the Council to decide what they want to do with regard to treatment. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 130 Workman asked if staff has analyzed the funds available in the sewer and water fund. Mayor Zietlow stated that people who use the water will have to pay for the treatment. Workman stated that a cash flow analysis is needed. Smith stated she would like to get public input about whether they want their water treated since they will have to pay for it. Workman noted they may not want it once they see the cost. He also noted that residents who want water treated to a higher standard can chose to do that themselves. Mayor Zietlow reviewed a past survey that was conducted about water treatment and stated the results were that the majority wanted to treat their own water. Kellogg noted that the government does not regulate iron or manganese but by 2006 cities will be required to meet a certain threshold for radium. He stated the more immediate concern is the issue of supply since it is likely there will be supply problems in the short term if something is not done. Workman stated he would prefer Alternates 1 and 2 since both need to happen. He stated he would like the wells in the parks to be started since that may lower the level of radium. Dillman advised of a past water test that exceeded the radium threshold. He agreed that Alternate 1 should be started as well as Alternate 2. But, if the City is going with a full treatment system, the wells could all be piped to the treatment plant. Workman suggested delaying action on the treatment options since the requirement does not take effect until 2006 and new equipment will be developed before that date. Mayor Zietlow noted that a home unit can be purchased to remove radium so, perhaps, there should be some public education. Dillman stated that public education already occurs because the City sends out a consumer confidence report each year. Moved by Workman seconded by Smith, to approve Alternate 1 and direct staff to draw up plans, specifications, and cost estimates for Alternate 2. Motion passed unanimously. 2. Resolution Vacating a Portion of Prairie Drive — public hearing Attorney Batty advised that when the County facility came in several years ago, the City required that Prairie Drive be platted to their western property line. Now it has been found that the location needs to be realigned so the County will give the City a deed to the portions of the new alignment in turn for the City vacating the portions that are no longer necessary. Mayor Zietlow opened and closed the public hearing at 9:12 p.m. as there was no public input. Moved by Smith, seconded by Lane, to adopt Resolution No. 03-14 Vacating a portion of Prairie Drive. Motion passed unanimously. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 131 3. Resolution Vacating Pouliot Avenue — public hearing Mayor Zietlow opened the public hearing at 9:13 p.m. Attorney Batty noted the property under consideration and advised that this is Torrents property so the title examiner is asking the City to go through the formal vacation procedure. Mayor Zietlow closed the public hearing at 9:14 p.m. Moved by Workman, seconded by Lane, to adopt Resolution No. 03-15 Vacating Pouliot Avenue. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program — NPDES Phase II MS4 Permit Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to accept the administrative changes to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program — NPDES Phase 11 MS4 Permit. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Power Line on Evergreen Road Dillman explained that the cost from Xcel Energy to bury the power line along Evergreen Road is $60,000. The Rolling Green Country Club said they would contribute $16,000 and want to pay $8,000 in June of 2004 and $8,000 in June of 2005. The Wild Meadows Development Agreement committed to pay $25,000 so this leaves a shortfall of $4,000. Lane stated his support to ask Rolling Green Country Club to contribute an additional $9,000 in 2006 to cover the $4,000 shortfall and $5,000 replacement street light. He noted that the cost from Xcel Energy increased by 20%. Attorney Batty asked if the City wants to rely on an agreement or have a petition and waiver so the costs and interest rate can be levied against their property if they do not make the payment. Lane stated his support to formalize the agreement. Attorney Batty stated a petition and waiver of agreement is a standard form and if they defaulted, the City could specially assess the cost. Workman stated they want to be a good neighbor so he would prefer an agreement based on good faith. Attorney Batty stated he would recommend a written agreement in any case. Workman suggested they be asked for a letter stating they will make these payments. Smith stated her support to ask Rolling Green Country Club for an additional $4,000 (instead of $9,000). She noted staff had mentioned splitting the cost and asking for $4,000 would let the City share in the amount that the project had increased. Workman stated his agreement with Smith's suggestion of $4,000. Mayor Zietlow stated the majority of the Council supports moving forward with the project. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 132 Moved by Lane, seconded by Workman, to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Xcel Energy to bury the power line on Evergreen Road and replacement street light projects and enter into a simple agreement with Rolling Green Country Club to contribute $8,000 in June of 2004, $8,000 in June of 2005, and $4,000 in 2006. Motion passed unanimously. C. Parks 1. Park Dedication Fees Adams presented options for the City Council's consideration of park dedication fees on residential, and commercial/industrial properties. Lane stated he understands that dedication of trails is entitled to a park dedication fee credit. Attorney Batty stated that is correct. It was noted that dedication of utility or drainage easements at the perimeter of lots or right-of-way for public street or road do not qualify for credits. There are rare occasions where a wetlands could be considered, if for recreational value. In that case, the area of recreational value could be considered towards the park dedication requirement. Lane asked if the dedication of a conservation easement would qualify. Attorney Batty stated it would qualify under the statute, at the City's option depending on who gets to use it. Lane asked what the definition is of "unit." Attorney Batty stated it would refer to a residential unit. In that case, a twinhome would count for two units. Lane asked how a mixed use development would be considered. He suggested a per unit cost with a "not greater than" consideration. Council discussed different scenarios and how each option would apply. Workman stated his support for option #2 and concern that the costs will be driven too high. Smith stated her support for option #4 with a maximum of $15,000. An audience member expressed concern about placing the burden for all of the parks on the new residents coming in. He stated the park dedication fee needs to be reasonable and he thinks $15,000 is too high. Instead, he suggested an overall City- wide budget. Smith explained that the park dedication fees will not cover the costs for the City's trails. Workman asked what the goal is and suggested this be returned to staff for more review. Adams stated the numbers are subjective since it is not known how much development will occur in the next five years. Lane asked staff to provide a recommendation on how to address mixed use projects. Mayor Zietlow stated this item will be tabled. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 133 D. Administration 1. Slow No -Wake Zone durinq time of High Water on Lake Independence Dave Appelhof and Dick Picard presented information to the City Council regarding a Slow No -Wake Zone during times of high water on Lake Independence. Mr. Appelhof stated the Lake Board prepared a recommendation and held a public hearing to get input. A resolution was then drafted to recommend Independence and Medina pass an ordinance that would restrict water craft use within the requested 250 feet of shoreline during times so designated a high water (957.8 feet above sea level). He explained how the high level was determined. Workman asked why Hennepin County is not regulating this. Attorney Batty explained that if the City enters into a joint powers agreement and the DNR also approves of it, then Hennepin County could be asked to handle enforcement. Mr. Appelhof stated if Medina approves this then the ordinance would take place. He stated they also have a petition signed by 20 lake property owners related to property damage that occurs during times of high water. He advised that Lake Sarah is closed when high water is reached but this would restrict it only within 250 feet of the shoreline. He stated a lake level reading would be made and registered once a week. If the high water level is reached, a notice would be published in the newspaper. Mayor Zietlow stated the City would then be expected to pay for the cost to publish that notice. Mr. Appelhof advised that Park Commission volunteers have been found to hand out flyers as well. Workman stated this recreational lake is driven by Hennepin County Parks and he would like to receive their input as well as from the County Sheriff and County Water Patrol. Mr. Appelhof stated Independence is willing to have the ordinance prepared and schedule a public hearing. At the public hearing, input can be received from Hennepin County. Attorney Batty advised that the DNR has to approve of this regulation before it can be enforced. Mr. Appelhof stated he has talked with DNR staff and they have seen this information. Lane stated he would like to delay setting a public hearing until information is received from the Hennepin County Sheriff related to enforcement of such an ordinance. He expressed concern about public expectation that lake usage will be regulated and that Medina will have the capacity to enforce. He stated he would also like input from Three River Parks about the feasibility of enforcement of a no wake zone. Workman stated he would like the DNR to show the backup reports on how high lake level wakes result in erosion. Lane asked if they have considered regulating sources of noise by decibel level or hours of operation. Mr. Appelhof stated they already have regulations on hours of operation. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 134 Mr. Picard stated that is enforced by the Sheriffs Department. He noted that the City and Park do not have authority for enforcement so a violation has to be enforced by the Sheriffs Department. He reviewed the lakes that have already adopted this ordinance. Attorney Batty stated cities have authorities over lakes that are located totally within their boundaries. Since Lake Independence is not totally within Medina, it is up to the cities to jointly control it by adopting identical ordinances and entering into a joint powers agreement to create the regulations. The ordinances must first be approved by the DNR and they have 120 days for review. If adopted, the Sheriffs Department would enforce the ordinance. Lane asked if it is likely that the DNR or Sheriff's Department would require the participation of the Parks in a joint powers agreement. Attorney Batty stated that could occur. Lane stated that is why he would like comment from the Parks to see if they would agree, in advance, to participate. Smith was excused from the meeting at 10:31 p.m. Attorney Batty stated that he does not think a public hearing is required from a legal perspective. He reviewed the process that would be followed to consider such an ordinance. Lane stated he thinks it is premature to schedule a public hearing until comments are returned from Hennepin County and the Parks. He noted that City staff will be asking those agencies for comment. It was indicated that as soon as the requested comments are received, the item will be moved on the Council agenda. 2. April 29th City Council Special Meeting Adams recommended the Council discuss ground rules for the intent and procedure of the City Council Special meeting to be held on April 29, 2003. He noted that the two subjects to be discussed are Uptown Hamel and Agricultural Preserve. Attorney Batty explained that at the task force meeting it came up that residents with Ag Preserve would have liked to know about the upcoming special meeting and be invited. However, it was felt that those with Ag Preserve should not be singled out to receive a mailed notice. Lane and Workman indicated that they had wanted to talk about uptown Hamel at the special meeting so that could item be moved further on. It was indicated that the issue of Ag Preserve is a high level executive decision and would be dealt with by the City Council. The Council decided to schedule an hour and a half on uptown Hamel and a half hour on Ag Preserve. Adams indicated he will prepare an agenda for that meeting. Medina City Council Meeting Minutes April 15, 2003 135 3. Ordinance Amending Section 200.21 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to the Term of Office for Mayor Attorney Batty reviewed the amended ordinance for re-establishing a two-year term of office for Mayor to begin with the next general City election. Moved by Workman, seconded by Lane, to adopt Ordinance No. 354 amending Section 200.21 of the Code of Ordinances Relating to the Term of Office for Mayor. Motion passed unanimously. VIII. APPROVAL TO PAY THE BILLS Moved by Workman, seconded by Lane, to approve the bills, order check numbers 25001-25050 for $72,311.14, and payroll check numbers 18057-18078 for $$21,860.57. Motion passed unanimously. IX. ADJOURN Moved by Workman, seconded by Lane, to adjourn the meeting at 10:50 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Phillip K ietlow, Mayor Attest: Chad M.
