When someone referred back to earlier business, we found the matching prior discussion and tied it in here.
He mentioned that in the past there was discussion on turning the basketball court at Memorial Park into a pickleball court and he would like to see some movement on that as it could be a great community asset that youth would enjoy.
— Dan Williams
What this is about
Prior discussion of converting the Memorial Park basketball court into a pickleball court.
The records I searched do not contain a prior discussion or decision matching the recollection of converting the Memorial Park basketball court into a pickleball court. The Memorial Park items that did appear in the results were about other park matters: at the February 10, 2026 meeting, council approved dedicating the Memorial Park Pavilion in memory of Judy Herrala and purchasing a plaque not to exceed $350; and the February, March, and April 2026 packets included updates or proposals related to Memorial Park pavilion/access control and bathroom/concession door security, including a WH Security cost of $4,690 and an Assured locksmith quote of $2,066.86. None of those records mention converting the basketball court to pickleball.
I think having this under old business would be appropriate as we should be able to discuss using the Conduit bind or not, as that's is what was discussed in May.
— Dan Breyen
What this is about
Budget amendment questions tied to a prior May discussion about the conduit bond.
The records I searched do not contain a prior May decision matching the recollection that Council discussed whether to use a conduit bond. The May 12, 2026 packet includes 2025 audit and budgetary information, including a note that the City approved one budget amendment during the year, but it does not mention conduit bonds or record a vote on using one. The related budget-amendment records show that, at the January 13, 2026 meeting, Council had a packet item to amend the 2025 budget by moving Administration savings to departments with higher-than-expected costs, including legal, park maintenance, accounting, elections, and Sheriff expenditures. At the April 14, 2026 meeting, another proposed 2025 budget amendment would move $25,000 to Fire training, funded by $15,000 from Administration and $10,000 from Contingency, after recording $49,518 in state firefighter pension revenue and expense caused the Fire Department to exceed its budget. The search results provided do not show the vote outcome for those resolutions.
The City Council has previously ordered the preparation of the Feasibility Report for the 2025 Overlay Project and has called for the Public Improvement Hearing.
— Shane Nelson
What this is about
Prior City Council action on ordering preparation of the feasibility report for the 2025 Overlay Project.
The records searched do not contain a prior City Council decision matching this recollection for the 2025 Overlay Project—specifically, an action ordering preparation of the feasibility report or calling the public improvement hearing. The closest matches are for the 2026 Overlay Road Improvement Project, not 2025. At the April 14, 2026 meeting packet, a proposed resolution declared costs to be assessed and ordered preparation of the proposed assessment and notice of assessment hearing, citing a Feasibility Report with estimated total project costs of $491,400. A later May 12, 2026 packet included an amended version for the 2026 project with estimated total costs of $462,800. These appear related in subject matter, but they do not document the prior 2025 action Shane Nelson referenced.
