Roll Call Present: Alderpersons Jerry Luther, Nanette Mohr, Ashley VanStraten and Irene Drake Also Present: Clerk Treasurer Chelsea Anderson, Utility and Public Works Department Head Ron Anderson, Public Works Foreman Nate Anderson, MSA Engineer Dan Rammer and Art Bahr. Public Input: None AGENDA ITEMS: 1. Discussion and Possible Action on MSA, CDBG Grant Application, and Robinhood Lane road work – MSA Engineer explained that the deadline for the application is May 16, 2024 for the Community Development Block Grant application (CDBG). Engineering could be completed soon, we have about $40,000 left in our contract. City did not budget for the contract in 2024, $40,000 left on engineering contract and approximately $8,000 left on application contract. CDBG is a 1 million dollar grant. Grant will be used for Robinhood Lane total reconstruct, water sewer curb drain roadway. Estimated 1.5-1.6 million for the whole job. Sanitary needs work on Robinhood. If we put off one year, (application in for May of 2025) we have to redo environmental review. If awarded the grant, we have two years to use. Clean and Safe water drinking loan could save 45 percent (grant of 200,000). Income survey is good for 5 years. Utility portion would be $800,000. MSA recommended waiting until 2025 to finish engineering. In 2025- re-evaluate budget to see if city can afford to finish the $7500 applicator costs. MOTION: Drake/VanStraten Motion to budget for 2025 for $50,000 engineering costs and stop the grant application for the CDBG Grant for 2024. Roll Call Vote: All Voting Aye – MOTION CARRIED 2. Adjournment at 5:10 PM. MOTION: Drake/VanStraten Motion to adjourn. Voice Vote: All Voting Aye – MOTION CARRIED Respectfully Submitted by Clerk Treasurer Chelsea Anderson
