Summary

City administrator Matt told the council that the police department building is experiencing repeated water intrusion, approved the purchase of two 100 KVA transformers for Grand Oaks Apartments, and updated the council on fire-station funding and USDA and appropriation prospects.

City administrator Matt reported repeated flooding and water intrusion at the police department office, likely from roof and facade deterioration, and warned the council the building could develop mold if not addressed. "We've had some issues with flooding at the PD office," he said, and urged council to consider police facilities along with the planned fire station project.

Matt also notified council that he approved the purchase of two 100 KVA pad-mounted transformers for Grand Oaks Apartments (within purchasing authorization thresholds) and provided an update on fire-station funding: the USDA application is roughly three-quarters complete, an environmental assessment clarification is needed, and staff may pursue a FY27 appropriation in October. He gave the original fire station request as about $6,200,000 and said the city may consider increasing the request to approximately $7,000,000 to adjust scope.
