Regular Agenda 5.1 The council will receive the 2025 annual financial report from Bergan KDV. Representatives of Bergan KDV will present the 202 5 annual financial report. After hearing the presentation, the council should formally accept the 2025 annual financial report. 5.2 The council will consider a resolution authorizing agreements with Metropolitan Council for light rail transit. As part of the Blue Line Extension Project, Minnesota Statutes 473.3994 requires the Metropolitan Council and the City to enter into Cooperative agreements to exercise their respective authorities in support of the project. The Cooperative Construction Agr eement defines the roles, responsibilities, and obligations for the construction phase. The Subordinate Funding Agreement authorizes the design and associated design fees for “local work,” or city - funded work, that will be included in the project. At the May 19 meeting, the Council continued this item and directed staff to secure additional documentation regarding desired safety features at one crosswalk. Staff have worked to secure the updated items, but due to the short amount of time, the materials were not ready to be included in the agenda packet. The requested materials will be provided to the council and added to the agenda packet as soon as possible. If they are to the Council’s satisfaction, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Construction Agreement and Subordinate Funding Agreement. 5.3 The council will consider a resolution opting in to the 18-day early voting period. In 2026, legislation was passed allowing municipalities that administer Absentee Voting to opt to conduct 18 days of Early Voting rather than 46 days of Absentee/Early Voting. The vast majority of voters cast their ballots in the 18 days before and on election day, rather than in the first 28 days. Staff strongly believes that selecting the 18-day Early Voting option would not negatively impact community voters and would greatl y benefit staff who administer the election. To date, many of the surrounding communities are also pursuing this option of conducting only the 18 days of Early Voting. Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution selecting the option to conduct 18 days of in-person Early Voting and opt out of 46 days of in- person absentee voting in the City of Crystal in 2026 . 6.
