City Council

Agenda — 9 items

1. Motion to Approve the Cancelation of a Joint Powers Agreement with Goodhue County for a Half Sentence to Serve (STS) Crew and to Enter into a New Contract with the State of MN for a Half Institution Community Work Crew (ICWC) Contract for Two Years. With the retirement of the STS crew leader, Goodhue County is reducing its program from three crews to two, which would eliminate the half crew we are currently using. The State of MN will pick up that position and add it to the ICWC program. Staff has met with both parties and is comfortable with the transition from STS to ICWC. This will be a two-year contract starting in July 2024. The ICWC Contract will cost $52,750 per year, saving $12,010 per year over the STS contract.
2. Motion to Approve a Service Contract with Schumacher Elevator Company to Provide Mandated Monthly Inspections and Basic Maintenance of City Elevators. Schumacher Elevator Company provides monthly maintenance and inspections to the (11) elevators located within City-owned buildings. The first five-year service agreement commenced on July 1, 2014. The second contract commenced on July 1, 2019, and will expire on June 30, 2024. The City does not have employees qualified to carry out this work.
3. Motion to Approve Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between the City of Red Wing's Solid Waste Campus and Xcel Energy to Negotiate, in Good Faith, an Amendment to the Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) Agreement to Account for New Federal Regulations.<br>City Staff met with Xcel representatives and legal counsel from both entities to discuss the need for an amendment to the Refuse Derived Fuel contract between the City of Red Wing and Xcel Energy. This amendment is necessary to address changes to the Federal Rule designating per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances as hazardous substances, effective July 8, 2024. As this is a very tight timeline and many of the particulars with regard to this contract amendment are still unknown, a MOA between the City of Red Wing and Xcel Energy would allow the City and Xcel to address these changes in law and show the intent to negotiate in good faith an amendment to the current terms and conditions of the fuel agreement.
