  • City Clerk Gruenhagen replied that they are pretty much comparable. Councilmember Mueller agreed.
    
• Councilmember Trebesch asked where the manhole would be placed.
  
  • Councilmember Mueller replied that the manhole would be in the lawn between the sidewalk and the play ground swings then a line will run towards the building to a regular catch basin with an open back plate. By doing this it will lower the catch basin from were the existing slab is. Then the water would flow into the new 21" sewer line to the County ditch. There is a storm sewer line already in this area between the Post Office and the Hall/City Shop buildings.
    
• Council discussed the estimates and decided that if they go with Henning's a completion date should be given so it gets completed on a timely basis's.

• Council discussed that the side shop door does not need a panic bar. They discussed the type of door they wanted, what type of handle, does it need a door closer, and should the handle have a lock and the door have a dead bolt or just use a dead bolt. Council also discussed both bids and decided that neither one placed a bid for the type of door they wanted to be installed. Council decided to have both companies re-bid. Council requested a bid for a commercial door with no panic bar, a lever handle with no lock, a dead bolt key lock only, and no door closer. They also requested the debris be removed. Council decided to have Maintenance Worker Byerly paint the door before it is hung.
  
• City Clerk Gruenhagen will call both companies and ask for re-bid estimates for the specs that Council had decided on. He will also ask that the bids be in by the next City Council meeting.
  

Community Hall Repairs – Fans

• City Clerk Gruenhagen suggested that if Councilmember Trebesch does not have enough time to build brackets for the new fans then maybe O.E.M. could be hired to make them. City Clerk Gruenhagen also wants the ceiling fans down so he does not receive anymore complaints from renters that they do not work. These two projects need to get completed ASAP.
  
• Council discussed and it was decided that Maintenance Worker Byerly will work with Councilmember Trebesch to get the fans taken care of and have the electrical boxes in the Hall done at the same time.
  
• Councilmember Cummiskey brought up that the Lions Club want to put fans in the park building. Councilmember Cummiskey suggested that if the Hall ceiling fans work then give them to the Lions to hang at their cost. If they do not work to throw them away. The Lions are also asking if the lights in the park building could be brighter.
  
  • Council discussed and decided that someone from the Lions Club should come before Council and put in a request for the fans and different lights.
    
  • City Clerk Gruenhagen added that this type of request should have been made before the September proposed budget meeting. The Hall repairs have to come first.
    
  • Mayor Malz suggested moving on and if the Lions want the fans they can come before Council.
    

Gate Valve on Henrietta Avenue (Between Hall & Post Office)

• Councilmember Mueller asked Maintenance Worker Byerly if he had fixed the gate valve.
  
  • Maintenance Worker Byerly replied that he had jetted and vacuumed out the valve and also turned it enough to know that it works.
    

Water Line in Park

• Mayor Malz asked Maintenance Worker Byerly if he had found and fixed the water line in the park that was causing the ground to be extremely saturated. After the Steak Fry at the park some people stepped in it and the water went up over their shoes.

  • Councilmember Mueller commented that this is something that should be followed up on. It will be a big advantage for the city.
    
  • Maintenance Worker Byerly continued that everything should be written down if there is a catastrophe then you would have record of it for insurance.
    
  • City Clerk Gruenhagen will copy the information and give it to council at the next Council meeting.
    
  • Maintenance Worker Byerly added that there is another meeting in a couple of months.

• Councilmember Barnes stated that when there is a Council meeting and the Community Center is open to the public the floor should at least be swept.
  
• Maintenance Worker Byerly responded: OK.
  

Air Conditioning for Hall

• Councilmember Mueller suggested getting more estimates for installing an air conditioner at the Hall. Two bids were received however they are completely opposite of each other. He thought it would be best to hire a consultant, get an experts opinion on what type of air conditioner would be best and costs.
  
• City Council agreed but decision was made at this time.
  

 

 

 

Deputy Clerk Report

 

Delinquent Utility Bills

• Deputy Clerk Block reported that the delinquencies are getting better and no one had their water turned off.
  
• Emily Siebold is still making her payments.
  
• Jeff Muri was sent another letter asking for payment. Mr. Muri does not own the house anymore so the water can not be turned off. The Title Company says it is not their place to pay the bill even though the amount due at closing was their mistake, they are not responsible. All the Title Company can do is ask Mr. Muri to pay. If he does not pay Deputy Clerk Block will leave it up to Council on what they want done next.
  
  • City Clerk Gruenhagen suggested that if Mr. Muri does not respond to the letter then have Mac Willemsssen (City Attorney) send Mr. Muri a letter.
    
  • Council discussed taking this matter to small claims court but the expenses to file a court claim is about the same as his unpaid water bill of $85.62. Council also discussed who you would take to court, Mr. Muri for not paying or the Title Company for making the error.
    
  • Council decided to wait to find out if Mr. Muri responds to the letter from the city before taking up more time to discussing it at this meeting.
    
• Kim Barstad did make a $110.00 payment on September 8^th but she is still 30 days past due on the rest of the amount owed. Deputy Clerk Block commented that if Ms. Barstad does not pay at the end of the month (September 30^th) she will be sent another shut off notice.
  
• Robert Gregonis (320 Sophia) paid his delinquent amount but was short sixty-six cents.
  
• Mayor Malz asked about the delinquent amount due from MES Group (Parkside Tavern).
  
  • Deputy Clerk Block responded that their delinquency was not over 30 days past due, they have until September 30^th to pay before a shut-off letter could be sent.
    
• Deputy Clerk Block informed Council that City Clerk Gruenhagen and she worked for about an hour adjusting EFN Investments penalty amounts per Councils direction from the last Council meeting. They have since paid the adjusted amount and the account is now current.
  

 

Clerk/Treasurer Report

 

Mosquito Control for 2010

• City Clerk Gruenhagen informed Council that he had met with a representative from Clark Mosquito Control. The city is contracted with them through the 2010 season. In spring they may present a proposal for another three year contract.
  
• City Clerk Gruenhagen asked if they could spray along the fence line at the city park.
  
  • The representative did go down to the park and look at the area. He will contact the city at a later date with a contract proposal of what it would cost to spray the fence line.
    
• City Clerk Gruenhagen also asked him if the spraying dates could be adjusted. This season there was a lot of dry weather in May and June but in late August early September the mosquitoes were extremely bad due to the wet weather. The representative comment that there should be no problem with moving spraying dates.
  
• Clark Mosquito Control also treats storm sewers and county drainage ditches however the County may not like having the ditch treated due to environmental issues. City Clerk Gruenhagen commented that he did not know if it would be beneficial to treat the storm sewers.
  
• City Clerk Gruenhagen had asked how much a sprayer and chemicals would cost if the city did their own spraying. The representative gave an estimate that the sprayer would be about $8,400 and $50 per gallon for the spray. One gallon usually can be used for 1 to 2 sprays depending on the areas size. In about 4-5 years it would pay for itself. Council would also have to have someone go out at night to do the spraying and there would be maintenance costs to consider plus training and licensing.
  
• Next year it will be about $255 per spray and the representative will contact City Clerk Gruenhagen sometime in October what the additional cost would be to spray the park.
  

Ceiling Fans at Hall

• City Clerk Gruenhagen asked Council that if they remembered when Jim Keeler (Carver County) was at a council meeting discussing the Prosecution Contract. He talked about the fines being a third, a third, a third, well that has been changed by a new Minnesota Law. Rita Worm (Court Operations Supervisor) sent an email stating due to the new law the fine shares will now be distributed two-thirds to the municipality and one-third to the state. The courts will no longer be disbursing one-third to the prosecution contract. Hamburg should see an increase in fine payments to the city.

• Richard Odoms (150 Jacob Street) addressed Council that he would like to say something but he was not speaking on Mr. Sprengeler behalf but he was speaking because he has been helping promote Mr. Sprengeler's company. He is not involved in anyway financially. Mr. Odoms had spoken with Mr. Sprengeler and sent City Clerk Gruenhagen an email yesterday, September 21^st that he had found out that Mr. Sprengeler insurance was cancelled. Mr. Sprengeler stopped by Mr. Odoms home and Mr. Odoms asked Mr. Sprengeler quite frankly what the deal with the insurance was. Mr. Sprengeler replied that the insurance company that he was with cancelled the policy. His insurance agent went to a better company and got a policy in effect and the policy was cheaper. Mr. Odoms commented that Mr. Sprengeler informed him and he has no reason to disbelieve him that he had paid the new company the premium but it will take some time for the insurance company to get the certificate of insurance. Mr. Odoms believes that Mr. Sprengeler is an honorable person and he will do what is right. The cancellation was a surprise to Mr. Sprengeler as it was to Mr. Odoms.
  
• Councilmember Barnes and Mayor Malz both commented that the insurance company or insurance agent should have contacted City office on this matter.
  
  • Mr. Odoms replied that this is what he had suggested to Mr. Sprengeler that the insurance company should have contacted City Clerk Gruenhagen, sent an email, or something.
