OLD BUSINESS 2025 Budget and Levy Resolution 2024-28: Adopting the 2025 Budget and Establishing the Tax Levy for Payable 2025 Finance Director Kyllo stated that the Truth in Taxation meeting was held on December 3. The final budget shows a maximum proposed levy increase of 9.55% for 2025.

Report on the final budget following the December 3 Truth in Taxation meeting.

At the meetingCouncil adopted Resolution 2024-28 setting the levy at $1,400,000.

Answered from our records

Resolution 2024-28 set the 2025 levy at $1,400,000 payable in 2025, a 9.55 percent increase, adopted on a motion by Bailey seconded by Ryan, carried 5-0-0, after the December 3 2024 Truth in Taxation meeting. That $1,400,000 base checks out against the following year, since the 2026 levy of $1,528,541 adopted by Resolution 2025-29 is exactly 9.18 percent above it.

PendingEngineer Derek Olingerfrom the minutes
The results of any final restoration will not be known until the spring thaw, so it was recommended that a completion date be set in early spring for the remaining repair work. Liquidated damages would be suspended over the winter.

Final restoration results cannot be judged until the spring thaw, so a change order moved the completion date.

At the meetingCouncil approved a change order moving the completion date of the remaining repair work to early spring, 5-0-0.

What happened next

The project closed out on August 12 2025 with an administrative change order that moved substantial completion to October 12 2024 and ready for final payment to July 9 2025, which removed liquidated damages entirely. The engineer's rationale was that the project ran smoothly and adequate evidence of actual damages from the delays would be difficult to show. The contract finished at $1,243,307.02, the original $1,241,494.22 plus $14,800 from change order 1 less $12,987.20 on the final order, and pay request 11 to BCM Construction was $4,430.

Action itemCouncil Member Ryan (motion), seconded by Helgesonfrom the minutes
Motion by Ryan seconded by Helgeson directing the city engineer to engage property owners for the acquisition of easements for Langford Avenue.

The Langford right-of-way width varies and portions of the existing street sit outside the ROW.

At the meetingMotion carried 5-0-0; no easements obtained yet.

What happened next

Easements were sought from four property owners adjacent to Langford Avenue, and Resolution 2025-16 accepting them was adopted on June 10 2025 on a motion by Helgeson seconded by Brunner, carried 5-0-0. At that point only two agreements had actually been signed, one owner had given a verbal agreement, and the fourth had not been contacted. The landowners were to be compensated for the land rights, and no compensation amounts are in our holdings.

The council adopted a resolution accepting easements when only two of the four had been signed and the fourth owner had not yet been contacted.

Action itemCity Attorney Joe Sathefrom the minutes
Sathe obtained preliminary input from the council on some questions needed to draft the city's ordinance related to cannabis and hemp. He will write a draft zoning ordinance to send to the planning commission for a public hearing.

Sathe reviewed cities' options on adult-use cannabis and took preliminary council input on drafting questions.

At the meetingNo draft presented at this meeting; only preliminary council input was gathered.

What happened next

The draft became law inside two months. The Planning Commission held its public hearing on January 7 2025 under Section 560.05 of the city code, and the council adopted Ordinance No. 112 on January 14 2025, adding Section 1140 on cannabis and hemp businesses. The full text is available for inspection at Kenyon City Hall.

PendingInterim Administrator Frank Boylesfrom the minutes
The agreement automatically terminated six months from the effective date, which was November 22, 2024. The request is to extend the contract to January 31, 2025.

Boyles' May 22, 2024 agreement auto-terminated November 22, 2024 and needed a mutually agreed extension.

At the meetingCouncil approved Resolution 2024-31 extending the agreement to January 31, 2025, 5-0-0.

What happened next

The position was filled permanently rather than extended again. Scott Lehner appears as city administrator throughout the 2025 and 2026 record, and the recruitment that produced the hire was awarded on July 9 2024 to South Central Service Cooperative under Mike Humpal at $14,500, chosen over David Drown Associates. The exact start date is not in our holdings.

Motion carried 5-0-0. 2025 Street and Utility Improvements Engineer Olinger stated that the design work for the 2025 street and utility improvements is about 25% complete.

Status update on the 2025 street and utility improvement project design.

At the meetingStated as a status figure with no supporting document at the meeting.

What happened next

Design moved from about 25 percent complete to approximately 75 percent by February 11 2025 and nearly complete by March 11 2025, when the engineer said it would be ready for approval of bidding at that month's meeting. Bidding then took two rounds, with all six bids rejected on June 10 2025 and the rebid awarded July 8 2025 to Fitzgerald Excavating at $2,294,629.25 against an estimate of $2,764,170.05.

Motion carried 5-0-0. 2025 Street and Utility Improvements Engineer Olinger stated that the design work for the 2025 street and utility improvements is about 25% complete. The Langford right-of-way width varies, and portions of the existing street are outside the ROW.

Basis for seeking permanent easements from adjacent property owners.

At the meetingCouncil accepted the statement and directed easement acquisition.

What happened next

The engineer restated the problem more sharply on May 13 2025, that the existing right-of-way does not contain the existing road surface and utilities, much less the additional roadway width proposed. Permanent right-of-way easements were requested from four adjacent owners and accepted by Resolution 2025-16 on June 10 2025. No survey or plat comparing platted right-of-way to the street location is in our holdings.

The council action report for the 2025 street project lists funding as still to come.

What happened next

Future project financing turned into a bond plus special assessments. The council adopted Resolution 2025-12 declaring cost to be assessed and calling for an assessment hearing on April 8 2025, and Resolution 2025-15 revised on July 8 2025, and the debt service that followed is the 2025A G.O. bond whose first payment was added to the 2026 budget and which drove the debt levy up $107,646 or 38.96 percent. The assessment roll with per-parcel amounts is not in our holdings.

VIII.E Agenda Item Summary CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT DATE: January 14, 2025 SUBMITTED BY: Holli Gudknecht, Legal ITEM TYPE: Legal AGENDA SECTION: LEGAL SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 112 Amending the Kenyon City Code Pertaining to Cannabis and Hemp Business Resolution 2025-06: Approving Publication of Ordinance No. 112 by Title and Summary SUGGESTED ACTION: Ordinance 112 adds Section 1140 to the city code pertaining to cannabis and hemp businesses. The city attorney will review this ordinance.

Ordinance 112 adding Section 1140 on cannabis and hemp businesses was forwarded from the Planning Commission.

What happened next

Attorney Riggs reviewed Ordinance 112 and the council adopted it on January 14 2025, following the Planning Commission public hearing of January 7 2025. Note that the drafting direction in December went to City Attorney Joe Sathe but the review and presentation came from Riggs, so the attorney changed between the two meetings. No separate written review memo with recommended changes is in our holdings.

To look upFinance Director Whitney Kyllofrom the minutes
Resolution 2024-29: Resolution Committing Capital Fund Balance Finance Director Kyllo stated that the general accounting standard (GASB 54) requires all public entities to set year end Capital fund balances before the end of the current year contingent on audited final numbers. The final year-end capital fund amounts will not be known until the 2024 audit has been completed.

GASB 54 requires committing capital fund balances before year end, contingent on audited final numbers.

At the meetingCouncil adopted Resolution 2024-29 committing capital fund balances contingent on the audit.

Partly answered

The final 2024 capital fund balances are not in our holdings, and the same GASB 54 language reappears a year later for the 2025 audit, so the contingency was never closed out in the record we hold. The audit itself was procured at that same December 10 2024 meeting, when the council awarded auditing services to BerganKDV at $27,540, against CliftonLarsonAllen at $97,640 falling to $70,940, roughly three and a half times the winning price. The completed audit report with capital fund balances would settle it.

The layout showed an ideal layout for the buildout of the area. Some discussion and input from developers would be helpful prior to preparing costs.

A potential ideal buildout layout for the 8th Street site has been drafted but not costed.

At the meetingNo action taken; item left for developer input.

Partly answered

A design layout for the 8th Street development site was prepared and reviewed with the city council and the school, with preliminary design continuing, but no developer feedback and no buildout cost estimate for the site appear in our holdings. The lot shortage the layout was meant to address persists: the city contains 33 vacant residential parcels, only 18 of them valued at $15,000 or more, the range indicating a platted buildable lot, and the only vacant lots on the open market are three Engel Drive parcels priced $187,778 to $252,230 that have sat 657 days.

Unsourced claimPublic Works Supervisor Wayne Ehrichfrom the minutes
If the new bobcat is ordered in December, the 2025, a price increase would be avoided. The new bobcat would not need to be paid for until 2025.

Justification for approving the Tri-State Bobcat purchase contract in December rather than 2025.

At the meetingCouncil approved the purchase contract with Tri-State Bobcat Inc., 5-0-0.

Partly answered

The machine was bought and the cost landed in 2025 as Ehrich said it would, with the 2025 variance comments in both the February and March 2026 packets citing the purchase of a 2025 Bobcat T66. The Tri-State Bobcat quote showing the 2024 price against the 2025 price is not in our holdings, so the size of the avoided increase cannot be confirmed, and no competitive quotes for this purchase appear among the 43 bids in the council record.

Unsourced claimPublic Works Supervisor Wayne Ehrichfrom the minutes
NEW BUSINESS Resolution 2024-30: Adopting the 2024 Goodhue County Hazard Mitigation Plan Public Works Supervisor Ehrich reported that the Goodhue County Hazard Mitigation Plan was approved by FEMA on October 30,2024.

Background for Resolution 2024-30 adopting the county hazard mitigation plan.

At the meetingCouncil adopted Resolution 2024-30, 5-0-0.

Partly answered

The FEMA approval letter for the Goodhue County Hazard Mitigation Plan is not in our holdings, so the October 30 2024 approval date rests on Ehrich's report alone. What the record does establish is the city's own action, Resolution 2024-30 adopting the 2024 plan on a motion by Helgeson seconded by Sjolander, carried 5-0-0, which is the step that preserves eligibility for federal mitigation and restoration grants. The FEMA approval letter would settle the date.

No major changes to the plans are expected, based on discussion from this meeting. Some private or public relocations are req'd.

Outcome of the January 8, 2025 coordination meeting with utility companies.

Partly answered

No list of required relocations with responsible utility and cost is in our holdings, and the January 8 2025 coordination meeting is recorded only as producing no major plan changes. The unresolved utility work surfaced later as damage rather than as a schedule item: on September 8 2026 Doug Henke reported problems with the gas company installing its line, and the engineer said he was aware of some of them and would work with the gas company on repairs. A utility relocation agreement or a coordination memo naming each utility would settle it.

Unsourced claimMayor Doug Henkefrom the minutes
When he first ran for council, his goal was to get the Industrial Park going and build a new fire department building which were both accomplished.

Closing comments at his final council meeting.

At the meetingStated as a personal recollection with no documentation.

Partly answered

The industrial park half of the claim is corroborated. The Kenyon Industrial Park is active and transacting, with the EDA approving a purchase and development agreement with Firebird LLC for a lot there and the council approving it 4-0-0 on a motion by Sjolander seconded by Bailey. The fire hall half is not in our holdings: no construction contract, bid or completion record for a fire department building appears among the 43 bids in the council record from 2019 through 2026, where the largest fire purchases are $156,445 of SCBA and a compressor from Alex Air Apparatus in December 2023.

Engineering

Pearl Creek & Gates Avenue Utility Improvements

Engineer Olinger stated that most of the work is now complete. There have been delays with minor grading, stabilization, and establishing turf on the Barrett property. The results of any final restoration will not be known until the spring thaw, so it was recommended that a completion date be set in early spring for the remaining repair work. Liquidated damages would be suspended over the winter. Payment #11 includes work completed between November 2 and December 3. Pay Application #11 to BCM Construction and Change Order

Motion

Motion by Bailey seconded by Helgeson to approve pay request No. 11 to BCM Construction in the amount of $4,430.00 and execute a change order to move the completion date of the remaining repair work to early spring. Motion carried 5-0-0.

2025 Street and Utility Improvements Engineer Olinger stated that the design work for the 2025 street and utility improvements is about 25% complete. The Langford right-of-way width varies, and portions of the existing street are outside the ROW. Acquisition of permanent easements from adjacent property owners may be needed to address this issue.

Motion

Motion by Ryan seconded by Helgeson directing the city engineer to engage property owners for the acquisition of easements for Langford Avenue. Motion carried 5-0-0.

8th Street Development Engineer Olinger stated that a potential layout for the 8th street development site has been drafted. The layout showed an ideal layout for the buildout of the area. Some discussion and input from developers would be helpful prior to preparing costs.

Legal

Kenyon Code 400.07 Moving Permits - Amendment

Interim Administrator Boyles stated that in October, the Planning Commission reviewed a request to move a building to a lot in Kenyon.

SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 108: Amending Section 520.13 of the Kenyon City

Code Regarding Accessory Building and Structures

SUGGESTED ACTION: The planning commission requested that changes be made to the accessory building and structures code for residential districts. The height (a) and floor area (g) of accessory buildings were changed to match State Statute 2400.2605. (k) was already in the code book but not located in the accessory building code, so it was also added here. (l) was added at the suggestion of the building inspector. The requirement of getting a building permit if the structure is over 200 square feet is already required by the MN State Building Code, but the building inspector said it would be a good idea to include it in the code. (m) the Planning Commission added that no accessory building could be occupied by humans to eliminate the possibility of a tiny home being placed in the backyard of a residence.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 7, 2025. No public comment was received at the hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the zoning changes to the City Council at their January 7 meeting.
