Every question, assignment, pending figure and unsourced claim from this meeting, quoted from the record, each checked against the county, census, listing, bid and budget data we hold.
The maximum levy approved by the Council in September was 9.93%. In November, Jessi Sturtz from Abdo reported that the final levy budget was down to 9.18%.
Truth in Taxation discussion of the proposed 2026 budget and levy.
The 9.18% final figure is correct and is what the county certified. The 2026 Kenyon city levy was certified at $1,528,541, a 9.18% rise over 2025, and the certified city tax rate went to 84.6822% of net tax capacity from 79.3028%. Almost all of the rate rise came from the bond levy, whose rate rose 35.91% while the general rate fell 0.38%.

Progress estimate accompanying Pay Application #4 shows substantial remaining work carried into the next construction season.
The arithmetic is exact. Work completed of $1,098,616.97 against the original contract price of $2,294,629.25 is 47.9%, rounded to 48% on the form, and the balance to finish of $1,196,012.28 is the difference to the cent. That remainder was worked off through 2026: Pay Application No. 7 alone ran $461,189.14 for work through July 3 2026, and No. 9 was still before the council on September 8 2026 for sewer lining, grouting and manhole rehabilitation.

Fitzgerald has not yet provided a planned start date for the remainder of work on the project. This information will be shared once available.
Status update on the 2025 Street & Utility Improvements project for the December 9 council meeting.
Fitzgerald restarted the week of April 13 2026, the date Engineer Olinger gave the council on May 12 2026, and Pay Application No. 5 covers the gap period from November 29 2025 to May 1 2026. The written start date the December item asked for never appears as a separate document, only as the restart reported in the minutes.

Pay Estimate #4 and Change Order #1 are not yet available, since we are still working with the contractor to finalize those documents. These will be uploaded to the packet prior to the meeting.
The change order will realign 2025 completion dates so liquidated damages no longer apply and redefine payment for the 2nd Street watermain method change.
Change Order No. 1 was tabled at the meeting after the one where it was first expected, then approved 5-0-0 on a motion by Bailey seconded by Brunner. It did two things: extended the 2025 completion dates so liquidated damages no longer applied, and addressed the 2nd Street watermain work.
The identical minutes paragraph approving Change Order No. 1 appears in both the February 10 2026 and March 10 2026 packets, so our record does not fix a single meeting date for the approval.

The proposed 2026 fire protection contracts with the six townships were reviewed but no action could be taken because there was no quorum.
The contracts reached a council with a quorum one week later. The City of Kenyon and Township 2026 Fire Contract appears as item IV.A.4 on the December 9 2025 consent agenda, alongside Resolution 2025-28 accepting Fire Relief donations and the Jacobsen Law fee increase for the 2026 criminal prosecution contract.

As discussed previously, we changed some construction methods for the installation of watermain within 2nd Street, given some unforeseen shallow bedrock. This change order will redefine the payment for this change in work. No cost increase is expected.
Explanation of why Change Order #1 will redefine payment for the 2nd Street watermain work.
Pay Application No. 4, dated December 9 2025, shows net change by change orders of $0.00 against an original contract price of $2,294,629.25, which is consistent with the engineer's statement that no cost increase was expected. That figure predates execution of Change Order No. 1, which the council approved in early 2026, and no executed change order with a dollar amount appears in our holdings. A Change Order No. 2 followed in the July 14 2026 packet, also without a figure in our record.

Pay estimate covering work through the end of the 2025 construction season, including paving and turf restoration.
Pay Application No. 4 does request $220,801.37, built from $1,098,616.97 of work completed to date less $54,930.85 retainage at 5% and $822,884.75 in previous payments. We hold no motion approving it. Our record holds the approval of Pay Application No. 3 at $494,533.51 and of Nos. 5 through 9 in 2026, with No. 4 as the gap.

The pay estimate will also include an estimated amount due for 2nd Street watermain changes (Future Change Order #1).
The pay estimate carries an estimate rather than a finalized figure for the 2nd Street watermain change.
Pay Application No. 4 carries the 2nd Street watermain money inside its unit-price line items, not as a change order, since line 2 of the summary shows net change by change orders of $0.00. Change Order No. 1 was approved 5-0-0 in early 2026 but no document in our holdings states the final agreed dollar amount for the watermain method change.

The 2026 budget increased from 2025 by $1,658.17. The increase was mainly due to replacing pagers/radios and increased property insurance.
Review of the proposed 2026 township fire protection contracts at the December 2 special meeting.
The $1,658.17 increase is corroborated verbatim in the December 9 2025 minutes, where Fire Chief Ehrich attributed it to replacing pagers and radios and to higher property insurance. We hold no 2025 or 2026 fire department operating budget document to test it. The only fire figure our records carry independently is the 2016B fire hall bond, at $91,116 in 2025 and $95,681 budgeted for 2026.
12.9.25_Council_Agenda_and_Packet_Updated; 9-8-26_Council_Packet
The contracts were based on a breakdown of 51% city and 49% township of the operating budget. Each township's portion of the budget was split based on the number of sections covered by the Fire Department.
Basis for the proposed 2026 fire protection contracts with the six townships in the Kenyon Fire Department service area.
The 51% city and 49% township split, allocated among townships by number of sections covered, is stated in the December 9 2025 minutes and nowhere contradicted in our holdings. We hold none of the six signed township contracts and no section counts, so the dollar figure each township pays cannot be derived. The executed 2026 fire contracts would settle it.

In 2025, Fire Relief donated $27,000 to the truck fund from gambling proceeds. The 1988 C70 Chevrolet Tanker will be sold on auction next week.
Fire department equipment update following delivery of the new 520 Tender truck.
The capital fund ledger shows $36,000 of sale-of-excess-equipment revenue booked as 2025 actual under account 900-00000-34790, against $36,594 in 2024 and nothing budgeted. That line is the only place a tanker auction could land in our records, and it is not itemized, so it cannot be attributed to the 1988 C70 alone. An auction settlement statement would settle the sale price.

The fire department took possession of the new 520 Tender truck last week. In 2025, Fire Relief donated $27,000 to the truck fund from gambling proceeds.
Funding for the new 520 Tender truck the fire department took possession of last week.
The only Fire Relief donation the council is recorded as formally accepting is $12,500, under Resolution 2025-28 on December 9 2025. The $27,000 the chief described as going to the truck fund from gambling proceeds appears in no accepting resolution or ledger line we hold. Fire Relief Association gambling reports or the truck fund ledger would settle whether the $27,000 passed through the city at all.
The council accepted $12,500 from the Kenyon Fire Relief Association by resolution on December 9 2025, less than half the $27,000 the fire chief reported donated to the truck fund in 2025.

MOTION NEEDED to adopt this policy with any final revisions by staff to follow.
Attorney Riggs and his staff prepared a MN Paid Leave policy template for the city.
The Minnesota Paid Leave policy the city attorney drafted sits in the December 9 2025 packet with its background section and its interaction with the city short-term disability policy spelled out, but no later passage in our holdings records a motion adopting it. The policy carries the drafting stamp DOCSOPEN\KG400\1\1056392.v3-11/3/25. A council motion or the adopted policy with an effective date would settle it.

The attorney-drafted state plan template still contains unfilled blanks throughout.
The blanks are real and there are at least four of them, in the participation sentence, the notice paragraph, the intermittent leave notice requirement and the application instructions, which read apply through blank and contact blank if you need assistance. No completed version naming the City of Kenyon or a designated contact appears anywhere in our holdings. The adopted policy would settle who the notice and application contact is.

The packet includes a redlined comparison between the 11/11/25 and 12/5/25 drafts of the agreement.
Version 5 dated December 5 2025 is the newest Firebird document in our holdings, and the deed form in the same packet still carries blanks for the agreement date and the Goodhue County recording document number, which means it had not been executed or recorded when the packet was assembled. No clean executed version exists in our record. A recorded Purchase and Development Agreement at the Goodhue County Recorder would settle which redlined terms survived.

Conflicting adoption dates appear in the resolution's whereas clause versus the ordinance and summary publication language.

The November 12 and December 9 2025 council minutes would settle it. The internal evidence points against the resolution's date: the December 9 packet instruction reads motion needed only if Ordinance 113 is adopted, which is not how a packet reads for an ordinance already adopted four weeks earlier.
Resolution 2025-25 recites that Ordinance No. 113 was adopted November 12 2025, while the same packet still carries a conditional motion instruction treating adoption as not yet having happened on December 9 2025.

2026 Fire Contract Meeting with Townships The purpose of the meeting was to review the proposed 2026 contracts for fire protection with the six townships in the Kenyon Fire Department service area. The contracts were based on a breakdown of 51% city and 49% township of the operating budget. Each township's portion of the budget was split based on the number of sections covered by the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Ehrich summarized what made up the 2026 budget and answered questions from the Township board members. The 2026 budget increased from 2025 by $1,658.17. The increase was mainly due to replacing pagers/radios and increased property insurance. The fire department took possession of the new 520 Tender truck last week. In 2025, Fire Relief donated $27,000 to the truck fund from gambling proceeds. The 1988 C70 Chevrolet Tanker will be sold on auction next week.
Public Budget and Levy discussion
The Truth in Taxation meeting was designed for citizens who had questions about the proposed budget and levy for 2026. The maximum levy approved by the Council in September was 9.93%. In November, Jessi Sturtz from Abdo reported that the final levy budget was down to 9.18%. No citizen comments.

Agenda Item Summary
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT
DATE: December 9, 2025
SUBMITTED BY: Holli Gudknecht, Engineering
ITEM TYPE: Engineering
Agenda Section: Engineering
SUBJECT: 2025 Street & Utility Improvements
Suggested Action:
Work for this year is now complete. Fitzgerald has not yet provided a planned start date for the remainder of work on the project. This information will be shared once available.
Pay Estimate #4 and Change Order #1 are not yet available, since we are still working with the contractor to finalize those documents. These will be uploaded to the packet prior to the meeting. A brief summary of each is provided below:
Change Order #1 will contain contract revisions that align with the contractors executed work plan through the end of the year. Our primary goal with the project schedule was for the contractor to complete a substantial (yet undefined) amount of work during 2025, while making sure that all areas opened up were paved and finished by the end of the 2025 construction season. In our opinion, Fitzgerald achieved this goal. The change order will adjust 2025 completion dates so liquidated damages would no longer apply to the 2025 work. As discussed previously, we changed some construction methods for the installation of watermain within 2nd Street, given some unforeseen shallow bedrock. This change order will redefine the payment for this change in work. No cost increase is expected.
Pay Estimate #4
This pay estimate covers work through the end of the construction season. Since last month, work has included paving and turf
24 restoration. The pay estimate will also include an estimated amount due for 2nd Street watermain changes (Future Change Order #1).
Requested Action: Motion Approving Pay Application #4. No
Action requested for Change Order #1.

MINNESOTA_PAID_LEAVE_POLICY_-_State_Plan_template.DOCX
MINNESOTA PAID LEAVE POLICY (State Plan)
Background Employees are entitled to leaves of absence for various reasons, including reasons protected by law. Depending upon an employee's situation, more than one form of leave may apply during the same period. There are many laws that address and/or otherwise relate to leave, and these laws are continually changing and being addressed by state and/or federal courts, agencies, and other decision makers. These laws include the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA), Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave (MNPL, also referred to as PFML or paid leave), Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST), Minnesota Pregnancy and Parental Leave Law, workers' compensation, public safety duty disability law, and other laws. An employee will need to meet the requirements of each form of leave separately. Leave requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In addition, collective bargaining agreements and other employment contracts may have additional provisions related to leaves. If there is any inconsistency between city policy and the law, the city will follow the law.
Except as otherwise stated, all paid time off, taken under any of the City's leave programs, must be taken concurrently (avoiding stacking of leave if possible) as well as to avoid any intervening unpaid leave between periods of paid leave. The City will provide employees with time away from work as required by state or federal statutes or contracts, if there are requirements for such time off that are not described in and/or inconsistent with the City's personnel policies.
Overview Effective January 1, 2026, the City will provide time off to eligible employees who qualify for Minnesota Paid Leave (MNPL) benefits under Minnesota law. The City of _______ is a participant in the State of Minnesota's Paid Leave program. MNPL benefits are funded through premium contributions payable to the State of Minnesota. The premium cost will be split between the City and employees as follows: The City of ___________ will pay 50% of the required premium and employees will pay 50% of the premium cost through payroll deductions starting January 1, 2026.
Eligibility Eligibility determinations for MNPL benefits are made by the State of Minnesota. Generally, to be eligible for MNPL, you must meet both of the following requirements:
1. Work 50% or more during the calendar year at a location in Minnesota**; and 2. Meet the financial eligibility requirements by having earned over a specific amount of wages as defined by Minnesota law at the time of your requested leave.
**(If you work less than 50% of the time in a calendar year in Minnesota, another state, or U.S. territory or foreign nation, but you live in Minnesota during 50% or more of the calendar year, your employment is also covered by paid leave.)
Benefit Amount
An employee's weekly MNPL benefits are calculated and determined by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). 1 DOCSOPEN\KG400\1\1056392.v3-11/3/25 41 Definitions (Please note that these definitions are or may be different than definitions used in other leave-related laws, and therefore, eligibility and other provisions may differ.)
"Family member" includes: o Spouse or partner o Child (including biological, adopted, step, or foster children, or a child you raise even if you are not legally related) o Parent or person who raised you o Sibling o Grandchild or grandparent o In-laws (including son, daughter, father, or mother) o Anyone close to you who depends on you like family, even if not related by blood
A "serious health condition" means a physical or mental illness, injury, impairment, condition, or substance use disorder. Taking care of yourself for this serious condition may involve evaluation, treatment, inpatient care, recovery, or not being able to perform regular work, attend school, or do regular daily activities. This includes childbirth, conditions related to pregnancy, or surgery.
Leave Entitlement and Usage
The State of Minnesota may approve MNPL leave for the following conditions in a benefit year: Up to 12 weeks of medical leave (for yourself) to take care of yourself for a serious health condition, including pregnancy, childbirth, recovery, or surgery. Up to 12 weeks of family leave to: o Bond with a child through birth, adoption, or foster placement o Care for a family member with a serious health condition o Support a military family member called to active duty o Receive covered types of care for yourself or a family member because of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking
You can take both types of leave in the same year, but you cannot exceed 20 weeks total within a single benefit year. For example, an employee may be entitled to 12 weeks of family leave to bond with a child and another 8 weeks of medical leave for their serious health condition. Your benefit year starts the first day you take Paid Leave, which may be different than the benefit year for leave taken under other laws. There is no waiting period for MNPL if you are granted the benefit, but there is a seven-day qualifying event requirement for some types of leave.
MNPL Intermittent Leave
Employees may apply for intermittent leave in most cases, provided the leave is reasonable and appropriate to the needs of the individual requiring care.
A) Eligibility
In addition to the other eligibility requirements under the MN Paid Leave law, employees seeking intermittent leave must have at least eight hours of accumulated leave (unless more than 30 days have lapsed since taking the initial leave).
B) Notice
DOCSOPEN\KG400\1\1056392.v3-11/3/25 42 In situations where employees seek MNPL on an intermittent basis, employees must make a reasonable effort to provide written notice to ______________of the need for intermittent leave before applying for MNPL benefits through the State program. As part of the notice, employees must provide the City with the following: 1) proposed intermittent leave schedule; and 2) a completed certification from a health care provider identifying the leave as necessary and a reasonable estimate of the frequency and duration and treatment schedule for the leave.
The City may dispute an employee's eligibility and/or benefits with DEED if an employee fails to provide notice and a proposed leave schedule to the city before applying for MNPL benefits.
C) Increments of Leave & Maximum Number of Hours
Consistent with other forms of leave provided by the City, employees may take intermittent leave in increments of 15 minutes. If eligible for intermittent leave, the City allows a maximum of 480 hours of intermittent leave in any 12-month period. After reaching the maximum amount of allowed intermittent leave, employees may request continuous MNPL provided the continuous leave does not exceed the maximum amount of MNPL allowed by law.
Notice Prior to starting a claim with the State, employees should reach out to _______________to notify them of the intention to take leave. If the need is foreseeable, we ask that you provide at least two weeks' notice prior to taking leave. If the leave is not foreseeable you will still be able to take leave under MNPL, and we ask that you provide as much notice as possible.
How to Apply for Minnesota Paid Leave
After your leave has been discussed you may apply for MNPL through ____________________________. Contact ________________if you need assistance.
Interaction with Other Laws and Benefits
MNPL will run concurrently with any leave and/or wage supplement for which you may be eligible for under local, state, or federal law which may include: Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and/or Minnesota Pregnancy and Parenting Leave.
The City offers a short-term disability (STD) policy that may run concurrently and require its own filing requirement pursuant to the terms of the STD policy. Contact the City for more information. STD payments may be offset, pursuant to the terms of the STD policy, by MNPL benefits paid to the employee.
Supplementing MNPL Benefits with Accrued Paid Leave
If you are receiving MNPL benefits, the City allows you to supplement, or "top off," your MNPL benefits with any accrued but unused paid leave. If you choose to supplement your MNPL benefits in this way, the combined weekly sum of MNPL benefits and City-provided paid leave benefits cannot exceed your Individual Average Weekly Wage (IAWW). In other words, you cannot receive more income (from all sources including paid leave) while on leave than you would if you were working. For more information, contact _________________. (Paid leave (i.e., PTO, vacation) does not accrue during the time an employee is on MNPL.
DOCSOPEN\KG400\1\1056392.v3-11/3/25 43 Maintaining Health Coverage During Leave Unless the employee revokes coverage while on MNPL, the City will continue to provide group health insurance coverage for an employee on MNPL under the same conditions as the coverage was provided before the employee took leave. You must continue to make timely payments of your share of the premiums for such coverage. If you are not using paid time off to cover part or all of the leave, you will be responsible for remitting your portion of health premiums to the City to ensure continuation of benefits.
Group health insurance may be cancelled if an employee's premium payment is 30 days late. Before terminating coverage, the City will provide written notice to the employee at least 15 days before the coverage is terminated listing the final date payment is due (30 days past the due date) to avoid cancellation and the date coverage will end if payment is not received.
An employee's share of premium payments for their group health insurance coverage may, at the employee's option, be: 1. prepaid at or before the start of the leave in which your health deductions may be modified to accept the agreed upon amounts and cadence of premium deductions; 2. arranged to write a check every 2 weeks for the duration that the employee may be out; 3. postpaid after the leave has ended in which your health deductions may be modified to accept the agreed upon amounts and cadence of premium deductions.
For any payments requiring deductions other than through normal payroll procedures, the City will obtain a written authorization for such deduction(s). There may be tax advantages and/or consequences for these various options, and it is the employee's obligation to understand these and decide accordingly. Coverage that lapses due to nonpayment of premiums will be reinstated immediately upon return to work without a waiting period.
Reinstatement Upon return from covered MNPL, you will be reinstated to your previous position or to an equivalent position, with the same status, pay, employment benefits, length-of-service credit, and seniority credit as of the date of leave as long as you have worked for the City for a minimum of 90 calendar days.
Upon return to work, if it becomes evident that the employee is unable to perform the key essential functions of their position (with or without reasonable accommodation), the City may engage in an interactive process, consistent with the American with Disability Act (ADA) and/or Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA) and other applicable laws and workplace policies, including workplace safety protocols, to determine appropriate next steps.
Retaliation The City will not interfere or retaliate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with the Minnesota Paid Leave law.
