City manager: pool contractor seeks $71,725 down payment; council told donations total $11,000
Summary
City Manager Tyler Franzky told the council the pool resurfacing contractor seeks a 40% down payment of $71,725; he proposed using $11,000 in donations plus capital outlay funds while he follows up with townships and local businesses for additional support. He also updated council on duplex rental progress.
City Manager Tyler Franzky told the Dawson City Council on Jan. 6 that the contractor for the municipal pool is requesting a 40% down payment of $71,725 to begin resurfacing work, and that paying that amount now would largely deplete the city’s capital outlay balance.
Franzky said the city has raised $11,000 in donations toward the pool project — $10,000 from FM Bank and $1,000 from Greater Community Credit Union — and that Maxwell Township, AGP and Farmer’s Mutual have the item on their January agendas for discussion. He said the city could use a mix of donations and capital outlay funds to make the payment and that he will follow up with the townships and businesses to pursue cost-sharing.
On public works matters, Franzky reported that in Public Works Superintendent Kurt Collins’s absence he briefed the council that new valves were installed at the water plant that day, completing the media project. Franzky also relayed that AGP (Ramsey) had raised complaints about the condition of Diagonal Street off Highway 212; Collins inspected the road and found it "isn’t any worse than it has been in the past," and the council will reopen discussions with AGP and the landowner Mark McCormick about road condition concerns.
Franzky provided an update on the city-owned duplex project: the third unit is complete pending punch-list items and final cleaning, five rental units are secured and a sixth is undecided; when the fourth unit is finished, both sides will have immediate renters. He also noted he will attend an Ehlers finance seminar Feb. 5–6 and that he plans paternity leave from Feb. 12 through April 1.
The minutes record these items as informational updates; no formal action on pool funding, intergovernmental cost-sharing or road repairs was taken during the meeting.
