Good evening and welcome. Today is December 2nd, 2025. It is 5 30 p.m. and we are in the Bosch Frelek meeting room in Mandan City Hall. Mr. Newbauer, would you please take the role? Commissioners. Braun. Here, Roar. Schilberg. Here, Hein Sean. Here, Mayor Frelick. Here. Now we will stand, remove all headgear for the Pledge of Allegiance. Jonathan Fleischer. From the Real Property Assessing Department of Mandan. Will lead us in the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the play of the United States of America. Thank you, Jonathan. Now we'll move to announcements. And we're going to skip to number two on the announcements. Yes, good evening, Mayor Commissioners. They're working on getting all the necessary fluids, different things out of the building currently. They'll be doing some interior work next week for the public's knowledge. And this should go on for several months. Any questions for Jordan? Jordan, quick question. No, they're not. They are not bringing any materials. I believe most of the concrete and materials will be recycled and the other materials, uh, specialty materials we call them, uh, our landfill can't take, so they'll be going elsewhere. So I don't I don't know if there will be a whole lot of any uh material going to, but uh from from meeting them, they they uh tend to lean on the recycling of a lot of materials. So they're they're used to this and they uh they do it a lot. So yeah. Okay. Thank you, Jordan. Thank you. We will uh move on to construction project updates. Jerekon mayor and commissioners, good evening. Let me just pull up my presentation here. Um less and less information for these uh construction project updates as we kind of roll into the winter season. Um I do have a memorial highway update along with another memorial highway video if you guys are interested in taking a look at the current um temporary traffic pattern for uh the winter shutdown. This roll for a second here. You can see it's performs pretty well. So just kind of wanted to show that off. Um Water Main has been connected in loops since our last meeting. Uh the sanitary sewer winter bypass was completed, which was a necessary um improvement to be made for um winterization. We thought that the sanitary sewer would be completely done before winter, so um kind of a uh uh temporary alternative needed to be identified and completed. Um minor items may still be worked on, such as cleanup and miscellaneous tasks, so you might still see construction crews out there active with the project, but nothing major will be going on and the winterization is complete. Um wanted to re reiterate that snow removal plans include the mainline three-lane roadway and the businesses approaches, and they should be clear by 8 a.m. Um once uh spring comes around where the start is uh weather dependent, but always hopeful that it's April that we'll be starting up again.
