ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21, 1992 Albertville City Hall 7:50 PM PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, City Engineers Thore Meyer and Norm Gartner, City ATtorney Mike Couri and City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Walsh opened the regular meeting of the Albertville City Council at 7:50 PM. The following additions were made to the agenda under Administration: Discussion of sewer rates, payment of the 1991 audit report, and fire department's concerns over the flags on the hydrants. Discussion of installation of cable television in the Hardwood Pond addition was added to the agenda under Community Forum. Berning made a motion to approve the agenda as amended. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. The minutes of the September 8, 1992, minutes were amended as follows: (1) Page 1, Paragraph 9 to read "No Truck" sign on the corner of 57th Street and Barthel Industrial Drive. " (2) Page 2, Paragraph 7 to add "The flags will be flown on special requests as well". (3) Page 1, Paragraph 8 corrected to indicate that Ken is not required to talk to those property owners with items in the right-of-way. (4) Page 5, Paragraph 7 is amended to state that Andy Savitski is required to blacktop only a portion of the parking lot until the drainage problem is corrected. Barthel made a motion to approve the amended minutes. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 14, 1992, Public Hearing on 50th Street as printed. Linda was directed to listen to the tape again to verify if changes to the minutes recommended by Mike Couri should be made. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the September 14, 1992, work meeting. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Dean Spencer told the Council that he and his neighbors in Hardwood Ponds have requested the cable television company to extend its lines into the development. They have been told that there must be a petition signed by every homeowner in the development. Spencer asked the City to intervene. Linda was ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21,1992 Page 2 of 6 directed to contact Mert Auger, one of the members of the cable television commission, and attempt to find out what needs to be done to get installation of the cable into Hardwood Ponds. Councilman Vetsch reported that he, Councilman Mark Barthel and Ken Lindsay have been looking at a used 1979 Ford truck at Hoglund Bus Company. The truck was previously owned by the City of Ramsey, is equipped with a plow, wing and hydraulic sander, and has 51,000 miles. The truck comes complete with accurate and up- to-date maintenance journals. A negotiated price of $8,500 has been reached. The parties also looked at a used two-way plow that can be added to the truck. The two-way plow can be purchased for $1,100. Sandblasting and painting the truck will cost about $1,700. A hydraulic bank to operate the two-way plow will need to be added. The Truck will also need a tune-up. Total costs of the add-ons and the tune-up should not exceed $1,000. With sales tax added, the cost of the completed vehicle should not exceed $13,099.50. The City's 1973 truck and the used plow could be put up for sale in the $3,000 range. Vetsch made a motion to purchase the truck and the accessory -- two-way plow, sandblast and repaint the vehicle, add a hydraulic bank to operate the two-way plow, and have a complete tune-up of the vehicle done at a not -to -exceed cost of $13,099.50. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Berning requested that the report on the costs of the City's snowplowing season for 1991-92 previously given to the Council be added as an attachment to the minutes to reflect that the City Council did compare costs of City -operated snowplowing vs. contracted snowplowing. Potter noted for the record that one of the owners of Hoglund Bus Company is a nephew of Councilman Vetsch. Ken Lindsay has only received one price to install a drain line in the flow meter manhole. The price from Metropolitan Underground is $986. The Council and Ken felt that amount was too high and no action on the drain line until Ken can secure other prices. City Engineer Thore Meyer reported that Frankfort Township has taken bids for improvements to MacIver Avenue and 50th Street. An option bid includes the approximately 1300 feet of 50th Street west of MacIver Avenue that is in the city limits. Frankfort has bid this section of street with curb and gutter. The cost of the option bid which includes the City's portion of 50th Street was about $75,000. Albertville's half of that total would be about $37,500. Thore told the Council that there are two areas they must address --one, does the City want curb and gutter; and two, what ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21,1992 Page 3 of 6 municipality should do what portion. The Council concurred that the City will require curb and gutter. Thore stated his opinion that the City needs the dirt from the hill area for fill in the low areas and it appears to be much easier for the City of Albertville to do the improvements to 50th Street. Councilmen Vetsch and Berning, along with Thore, will meet with Frankfort's engineer and Board to negotiate a workable solution to who will do what. The consensus of the Council is that the City should to all of 50th Street up to MacIver Avenue. Mike Couri arrived at the meeting at 8:45 PM. Thore explained that he has talked to Clem and Bernard Marx regarding the drainage on the property owned by Marx and Jim Hennum. He has directed Marx to approach the City if they wish to proceed. Thore presented a map of the trunk sewer line showing the assessable footage in red and the wetlands areas in yellow. The map gives an allowance of 150' on the assessment of corners. Thore also provided a calculation and a summary sheet for the Council to consider at a work meeting to be scheduled at a later date. Thore reported that Frankfort Township has decided not to pursue securing an easement or going ahead with the cleanout of the ditch as had been proposed in a tentative agreement reached in committee. Thore will continue to pursue the agreement with MNDOT to drain the I-94 area. Norm Gartner will have a schedule for the sewer line replacement phases as well as plans and specs for the project for the first Council meeting in October. Norm will check with DTED to see if expenses incurred for replacing the existing sewer mains is reimbursable to the City after the entire 1992-11A project has been accepted for public financing. Councilman Berning asked Gartner to get pricing on putting curbs along 60th Street when the street is torn up for sewer main replacement. The Council reviewed the letter from Gartner dated September 17, 1992, regarding alum usage at the wastewater plant. No action was taken. Thore reported that he has contacted the architect for the new high school about the storm drainage ditch in front of the building. Thore is waiting for the results of the measurements from the surveyor and the architect. Thore was asked to check into the retaining wall in the Barthel Manor Second Addition. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21,1992 Page 4 of 6 Thore was directed to check into the complaint from Mike Heuring regarding the ditch at the County Work Building. He will contact the County Engineer about the problem. Mayor Walsh officially thanked Thore Meyer and Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. for donating the topo map of the City Park and for the time he donated to this effort. Walsh, Berning and Norm Gartner will set up a meeting to establish new sewer rates to be effective the first of the year. Couri reviewed the $350,000 bond for the truck sanitary sewer line he has negotiated for sale with four area banks. The bond will be 12 years at a 5.7% interest rate. The City will assess the actual cost of the project of $350,867, but the bond amount is required to be rounded to the nearest $5,000 increment. The closing for the bonds has been scheduled for September 30. Potter made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-25 awarding the sale of $350,000 General Obligation Bond 1992A. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992--26 (DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY) for the replacement of existing sewer main in the amount of $360,437.00. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. Potter made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-27 (DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY) for the improvement of 50th Street NE in the amount of $295,305.00. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Couri reported that the developer's agreement for Pysk's 5th Addition is on hold until the developer decides if he wishes to proceed based on the costs. Couri was reminded to be sure that park dedication be included in the developer's agreement. The developer's agreement for the Westwind 3rd Addition is being drafted. The park dedication fee of $170 per unit will be included in the agreement. The City will also address the problem that the Fire Department does not have a ladder that will extend up three floors. This matter must be addressed as well. LeRoy Berning addressed the Council with the results of the bids received on the park shelter renovations. Attorney Mike Couri advised the Council that the City must receive a minimum of two bids for each item bid. The low bids for the completion of the project total $58,621.00. The Jaycees have pledged $20,000 to this ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21,1992 Page 5 of 6 project, the Lions have pledged $15,000 and the Council has agreed to contribute $15,000 of the insurance proceeds to the new building. Berning asked if the City would be able to spend the additional $8,621.00 to allow the project to proceed. The Council concurred that this amount could be taken from the TIF monies that are to be spent. The Park Board volunteered to contribute the $2,000 in their capital outlay budget toward the project if necessary. The Council stated that the Park Board's budget would not be used. Mike Couri left the meeting at 10:00 PM. Potter made a motion to accept all low bids in each category in which there are two or more bids. The categories with only one bid are excluded, i.e., ceiling, electrical, overhead garage, heating and plumbing bids. Berning agreed to attempt to get at least one more bid in each category that has only one bid by the next Council meeting. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Superintendent Mario DeMatteis showed the Council the proposed boundary lines between the St. Michael -Albertville and the Elk River School Districts. The Elk River School Board will meet tomorrow to act upon the boundary changes. Barthel made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for the period September 3-15.

Barthel made a motion to approve the amendment to the Joint Powers Operating and Authorization Agreement at Paragraph C-4.a and C-4.b as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Berning questioned whether Joint Powers could be charging the City for hydrant use for flooding the hockey rinks, Friendly City Days, etc. Mayor Walsh and Councilman Barthel, the Joint Powers representatives, explained that hydrants can be used by city employees only without the hydrant charge applying. They recommended that Linda notify Joint Powers when the City will be using a hydrant. The Joint Powers requires that a back -flow preventer valve be used on hydrants. The City may later consider the purchase of its own back -flow preventer valve. Barthel made a motion to adopt the Joint Powers Ordinance Concerning Water Permits. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL September 21,1992 Page 6 of 6 Barthel made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #1992-28, entitled RESOLUTION CONCERNING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CREATE A NEW PROPERTY TAXPAYER'S TRUST FUND IN MINNESOTA.

All voted aye. The Council directed Linda to have Pat Krause, or another representative from the Gruys, Borden & Carlson firm, attend the next Council meeting to address the Council's concerns regarding the cost of the 1991 audit report. Linda informed the Council that Fire Chief Rick Wacker asked to clarify that the Fire Department does not have problems with rocks or shrubs around hydrants. The bigger danger or chance for injuries to firemen, according to Wacker, is the flags attached to the hydrants. Linda informed the Council that Roger Kirsch has submitted a price of $365 to install two ridgulators. The project will be line itemed under Building/Plant maintenance. Albert Barthel addressed the Council concerning the maintenance department's equipment backed too close to the fire trucks. The Council agreed to have the maintenance department move the equipment back away from the fire truck and paint a line on the floor to separate the two areas. Potter made a motion to adjourn at 10.35 PM. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. es A.

The City is under no obligation to replace and/or repair those items. Linda will also send a follow-up letter to each of those property owners. Ken explained that the "No Truck" sign on Barthel Industrial Drive has been removed several times and thrown into the ditch. Ken will replace the sign this time using extra concrete. The manhole housing the flow meter is still collecting water. The city engineers have looked at the manhole and there is nothing more that can be done with the manhole itself to stop this problem.

Thore was directed to contact Redstone Construction to insure that the blacktopping is completed as soon as possible.

Bids will be opened at City Hall on October 13, 1992, at 2:00 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Couri explained the developers of Westwind Third Addition are requesting final plat approval, contingent upon approval of MPCA for sanitary sewer extension, and subject to a Developer's Agreement. The hardshells are not yet available for Westwind Third Addition because Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. will not be the engineer for this addition and another engineering firm is still in the process of completing the hardshell. The final plat will have a detention pond on the property and on the developer's undeveloped land. The detention pond will remain the property of the owner, not the City. Vetsch made a motion to grant final plat approval for Westwind Third Addition, contingent upon the developer providing the hardshell and signing a developer's agreement. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda was directed to contact MPCA requesting a response to the City's request that Tom Holstrom be allowed to remain the project contact for the wastewater treatment expansion. Berning made a motion to set a public hearing to amend the budgets for TIF Districts #2, #5 and #6 for 7:00 PM on Wednesday, October 14, 1992.

Ralph Ackerman has told the clerk that he is in the process of getting bids to construct a new building for his kennels. The cost of remodeling his existing barn is too prohibitive. A meeting has been set up with Ackerman to discuss how he will comply on September 15. Couri has drafted a quit claim deed for the vacation of the property for Security Bank Northwest that reserves an easement over underground utilities. The Council tabled action on Planning & Zoning's recommendation to amend the Zoning Ordinance #1000.4 (i) (2) to require that 50% of the front and 25% of the sidewalls of commercial buildings must be material other than steel.

Ann Culley, Secretary • CITY OF ALBERTVILLE PUBLIC HEARING FACILITIES PLAN FOR 1992-11A IMPROVEMENT PROJECT September 21, 1992 Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, City Engineers Thore Meyer and Norm Gartner, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Walsh called the public hearing to review the Facilities Plan for the 1992-11A Improvement Project to order. The audience present at this public hearing was Dean Spencer, Clem Marx and Don Berning. Engineer Norm Gartner reviewed the Facilities Plan with the Council and the audience. Minor revisions to the preliminary plan presented to the Council on September 14, 1992, were made at the recommendation of the consulting engineering firm, James M. Montgomery. Gartner explained that the City has been discussing an • expansion to the wastewater treatment plant for the past four months. In the 1992-11A Feasibility Study, four alternate plans using the existing facility and expanding upon it were presented. The Council evaluated the different alternatives in regard to cost, ease of operation and operational expenses. The Council agreed to pursue the Alternative IV -A, a modification of the Pretreatment - Filtration -Clarification option. The filtration aspect of the alternate selected has since been eliminated as unnecessary based on the jar test results. The proposed system consists of six floating aerators installed in the first stabilization pond, allowing the wastewater to flow through the three existing stabilization ponds. The water will discharge into an alum mixing/storage building for treatment before it passes through the clarifier. The sludge generated by the clarification process will be pumped back into either pond cell one or two. The final process before discharge to Mud Lake is the ultra -violet disinfection process. The proposed expansion changes the discharge frequency to Mud Lake from controlled to continuous. This necessitates the installation of 24-hour composite samplers at the influent and effluent points of the treatment facility. The expansion increases the present wastewater capacity from 115,000 gallons per day to 315,000 gallons per day. The 200,000 gallon per day increase is the maximum the City can go before the state's non - degradation rules apply. • The City has also studied the existing collection system. The lines were televised in the fall and winter of 1991. The results showed cracks, breaks and blockage in some of the lines, PUBLIC HEARING FACILITIES PLAN 1992-11-A PROJECT September 21, 1992 Page 2 of 3 allowing infiltration. The Council found it more cost effective to replace about ten blocks of sewer mains than to continue to treat the infiltration. The estimated cost of this treatment alternative is $586,000. The estimated user charge for the first year of operation is estimated at $82,450. Within this estimated annual operation and maintenance cost is a replacement reserve for equipment at the wastewater treatment plant in the amount of $7,500. Gartner advised the Council that in the future the Council should consider if new industry constructing in the City should be required to pretreat its wastewater prior to discharge into the collection system. Gartner explained that three major permits will have to be received by the City for the project --from the MPCA for the wastewater treatment facility expansion, and from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the US Army Corps of Engineers for the relocation of the outfall line to a different discharge point on Mud Lake. Mayor Walsh stated for the audience in attendance that the regular meeting of the City Council would follow this public hearing. Gartner reviewed Part VII--Reliability section of the Facilities Plan with the Council. This pertains to how the system could continue to operate when portions of the equipment malfunction. The Facilities Plan has been prepared by the City for the purpose of attempting to secure public financing of the project. The MPCA will now review the plan. According to Gartner, he has contacted MPCA at various points for input and MPCA appears to be in agreement with the basic proposal. Mayor Walsh called for public comments from the audience. There were no questions or comments. Potter made a motion to close the public discussion portion of the public hearing. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-23, which establishes the findings of fact regarding the Facilities Plan. • Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Walsh, `Mayor Linda Houghton, Cle • CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET IMPROVEMENT September 14, 1992 Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Duane Berning, Donatus Vetsch and Mark Barthel, City Clerk Linda Houghton, City Engineer Thore Meyer, City Attorney Mike Couri Mayor Walsh called the continuation of the public hearing to discuss improvements to 50th Street to order at 7:30 PM. City Engineer Thore Meyer reviewed the proposed plan to construct a 9-ton, 32' curb -to -curb street. The eastbound traffic lane will be 12' with a 2' safety lane. The westbound traffic lane will be 12'wide with an additional 6' bicycle lane. The street will be centered on the right-of-way. Trudy Dahlheimer asked the Council to consider having a study done by the Wright County Soil & Conservation office to address her concerns that putting additional water into Becker pond will lead to water on her property. Thore explained that the storm sewers will eliminate the water off the present gravel street from going across the lots as it currently does. There will actually be no additional water going into Becker pond than there is at present. Tom Haller questioned whether channeling the drainage off the street directly into the wetlands area through storm sewers potentially wouldn't cause flooding problems in a few of the yards. Mayor Walsh explained that this does not alter the natural flow of the water and that the City has no authority to change the present wetland area. Jan Heikes stated that she feels that the pond is not adequate to hold the immediate run-off from the snow melt and the spring rains if it is channeled from the street through the storm sewer to the pond. Randy Lebsock questioned whether the water from the north side of 50th Street would also be channeled to Becker pond. Thore explained that no additional water will go into Becker pond than is going there now. Mark Haller asked if the City would consider using surmountable curbs vs. the V-6 curb proposed. Thore explained that he had proposed the V-6 curb because it controls water better than the surmountable curb. The V-6 curb also defines the travelcurbing ways is better. The cost difference between the two types approximately $.25 per foot. Tom Haller addressed the safety issue. He questioned if there shouldn't be a bike lane on each side of the street. The City has PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET September 14, 1992 Page 2 of 4 proposed a bike c=lane only on the westbound lane in an attempt to keep costs down. Tom Haller also asked the Council if an appraisal would be done by the City before the project is initiated. Mayor Walsh explained that the consensus of the Council is that this project will be done exactly as is every other improvement project in the City. Therefore, the City will not have an appraisal done before construction of the project. Notice of the assessment will be sent to each property owner and a hearing will be set to assess those costs. Attorney Mike Couri told the audience that an appraisal may be needed before the assessment hearing. Tom Haller told the Council that he had met with some of the property owners along 50th Street. Some of those owners are willing to participate in cost sharing with the City on an appraisal. Haller has spoken to one of the appraisers who submitted a proposal to the City and was told that it would cost about $3200 to have five properties appraised. Walsh told Haller that the Council had asked to have a petition from 100% of the property owners willing to pay the cost of an appraisal. Trudy Dahlheimer questioned if the City has ever set precedent on improving a collector street, which is what 50th Street is designated. The Council is following the precedent established for improving all city streets. The Council has agreed that the City will pay the additional costs of approximately $17,200 to upgrade from a 7-ton street to a 9-ton street. The Council has also agreed to pay the cost of the sidewalk on the north side of the street. Councilman Vetsch suggested the City also consider contributing the money that would be spent on dust control and maintenance over the next five years (approximately $3,000 per year for a total of $15,000) to the cost of the project. With these City contributions, Vetsch said the assessable cost to the property owners would be about $205,600. Randy Lebsock questioned if the expense of the project exceeds the benefit to the property owners. If there is a big variation t, Lebsock between the Council haveanappraisal done t and the las suggested byrecommended Tom Haller the earlier in the meeting. Tom Haller asked if the City was setting a legal precedent on collector streets. Are Councils bound to follow a precedent set on other projects? Attorney Mike Couri stated that any developer could ask the City Council to treat them exactly as was done on this project. Couri cannot answer how the court system would rule PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET September 14, 1992 Page 3 of 4 if a suit was brought. Vetsch made a motion to close the public discussion portion of the public hearing. Barthel seconded the motion. Mayor Walsh asked if there was any discussion before the vote on Vetsch's motion. George Reiser asked how a corner lot would be assessed. Mayor Walsh explained that precedent set in the past assesses a corner lot on the second side at 50%. Wilfred Becker asked if the improvements were assessed on a per lot basis if the assessment per lot would be $9,350. The Council explained that the method of assessing the costs has not been definitely set at this point. Mayor Walsh called for a vote on the motion to close public discussion. All voted aye. Couri advised the Council that acceptance of a project requires four -fifths of the vote of the entire Council. Since Councilman Potter is not present, a unanimous vote by the four members present would be required to approve this project. Vetsch made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #1992-21 ordering the 50th Street improvements to be constructed as detailed: (a) 32' curb -to -curb 9-ton street centered on the right -of way(12' eastbound travel lane plus a 2' safety lane ana 12' westbound traffic lane with a 6' bike lane) (b) The City will pick up the additional construction costs between a 7-ton and a 9- ton street. (c) The City will pay estimated maintenance cost of $3,000 per year over a five year period, for a total of $15,000, toward the cost of the project. (d) The City will pay all costs for a 4' sidewalk on the north side of 50th Street. (e) The City will request separate option bids for a V-6 curb and surmountable curbs. Barthel seconded the motion. Vetsch, Barthel, Berning and Walsh voted aye. There were no abstentions or nay votes. The motion passed with four -fifths majority. Barthel made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #1992-22, ordering plans and specs for the 50th Street Improvement Project as detailed in Resolution #1992-21. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET September 14, 1992 Page 4 of 4 aye. Vetsch made a motion to adjourn the public hearing on 50th Street at 9:00 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. James A. Walsh, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK MEETING September 14, 1992 Albertville City Hall 9:20 PM PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Duane Berning, Mark Barthel and Donatus Vetsch, City Engineers Thore Meyer and Norm Gartner, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Walsh called the special work meeting to order. Norm Gartner gave the Council a preliminary Facilities Plan for expansion to the wastewater treatment plant for their review prior to the public hearing on September 21, 1992, at 7:00 PM. A copy of the notice of the public hearing and the minutes must be submitted to MPCA with the Facilities Plan by October 1, 1992. Gartner was asked to prepare a phase schedule for the replacement of the existing sewer mains for the Council to consider. The Council discussed the assessment of the trunk sewer line to the high school. Couri presented the Council with the total costs to be bonded. Couri is making arrangements to bond for $350,000 for this project. Couri also presented the Council with two schedules to consider for the assessment of this project. One of the schedules assesses the entire $350,000 costs over a twelve year period. The other schedule assesses $270,000 of the front footage assessment over a twelve year period, and defers the $80,000 area assessment for five years. The area assessment is then amortized over the last seven years of the twelve year period. Barthel left the meeting at 10:00 PM. The Council is in agreement that a five-year deferment on the area portion of the assessment will be granted. The Council listened to the opinions of property owners Doug Psyk and Clem Marx. One of the concerns expressed was how corner lots would be assessed. The Council directed Thore to prepare a color -coded map of the project detailing the exact footage to be assessed and showing how corner lots and wetland area are to be dealt with. The Council will review the map before a final decision is reached on the total assessment. Vetsch made a motion to adjourn at 10:40 PM. Walsh seconded the motion. All voted aye.
