Under Unfinished Business, Chief Schmitz gave a brief update on the Camera Project. He will meet with Leslie Electric later this week in reference to power poles and is still waiting on other pieces of the project. Councilman Klahn confirmed that he is still in the cost finding stage which Chief confirmed.
Also under Unfinished Business was the Final discussion for FY2027 Budget. Kida said he placed this on the agenda to allow for Council to discuss or make any other changes to the budget that has been presented. We are still looking at a 1.3% revenue increase with a decrease in the levy to $12.74. Kida is grateful for Council's interaction during the budget process; Council has been far more involved in the budget process and he appreciates that. The recommendation from Councilmembers Klahn and Edens to begin the process earlier helped. He asked for any other feedback before the next step, which is the Public Hearing to adopt the budget. Councilman Goldbeck said we should move forward, it looks good. There was a brief discussion about the Trail Plan, which is a Capital Project and not part of the levy and expected to be mainly grant funded. Councilman Maxwell asked about the Library cameras. Library Director Grim said the Library Directors just discussed this at their meeting. It will be $2,165.00 from Al Schutte so they can use their current year budget and get it done soon.
Moved by Councilman Edens, second by Councilman Klahn to accept the Final FY27 Budget for publication of the Public Hearing Notice. On roll call - all Ayes.
Moved by Councilman Edens, second by Councilman Farrell to Adopt a Resolution Setting a Date and Time for the Public Hearing on the Proposed FY2027 Budget. On roll call - all Ayes.
Moved by Councilman Goldbeck, second by Councilman Farrell to Adopt a Resolution Approving the First Amendment to the FY2026 Budget. On roll call - all Ayes.
Shayla with Platinum Services gave a presentation regarding upgrading the City computers to Microsoft 365 and explained the new costs and the increased antivirus security that comes with this upgrade.
Moved by Councilman Goldbeck, second by Councilman Farrell to Approve the Services Agreement with Platinum Services for the upgrade to Microsoft 365. On roll call - all Ayes.
Shayla with Platinum Services also talked about the Lease Agreement for the replacement of Council laptop computers. Councilmember Goldbeck said he does not need a laptop. Any other Councilmembers who do not need or want a new laptop will contact Kida who will have the lease agreement updated accordingly.
Moved by Councilman Goldbeck, second by Councilman Klahn to Approve the Lease Agreement with Platinum Services for the replacement of Council laptop computers. On roll call - all Ayes.
In the communication portion of the meeting, City Administrator Kida will be in Guys and Dolls on the Showboat. He said his wife is volunteering with the Dambo Troll project in Clinton and encouraged everyone to participate. Councilman Edens said the Masonic Lodge scholarship fundraiser breakfast even will be on Sunday for freewill donations, 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Chief Schmitz reported that Assistant Chief Lodge has earned his Drone License. Library Director Grim said she has hired a Youth Programming Clerk and is still looking for another Clerk. They are open on Friday and Saturday again. City Clerk Schneider noted several vacancies on Boards and Commissions and encouraged interested residents to apply.
Mayor Pruett called for Public Comments. There were none.
Mayor Pruett then asked Council for requests for placement of matters on future agendas. Councilman Klahn said he tried to put something on the agenda this week and was refused. He wants the semi-permanent snow fence at the end of 14th Street to be on the agenda. He does not think it is fair to the residents there to have that unsightly fence there; it has not been short term. Kida said we have not moved forward with this because we are waiting to make sure well #8 is going to work out and well #7 is going to be capped. If well #7 is capped, we will work on extending 14th, connecting it to Edens Avenue and making Lum Park happen. Until that time, we don't want to extend that road in case we have to go back and work in the area of well #7. Klahn asked about the timing on the street. Public Works Director Pewe added that the temporary fence works because we push snow back there in the winter. Kida said one more year, but it wouldn't be necessary if there weren't other people riding UTVs through there. Further discussion will take place if it is on the next agenda.
Moved by Councilman Klahn, second by Councilman Goldbeck to place the Fence at the end of 14th Street on the next agenda. On roll call - all Ayes.
Mayor Pruett adjourned the meeting at 6:44 p.m.
