APPROVAL OF MINUTES Approve Minutes of the City Council regular meeting and workshop on January 17, 2023. Minutes were approved as presented. VI. COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE Comments from the audience may include remarks about items listed on the Consent Agenda. County Commissioner Mike Slavik, 1590 Hwy 55, responded to comments in the January 17, 2023 meeting about the dissolution of the Dakota Broadband Board. He expressed concern over comments about the county moving hastily to dissolve the DBB. He indicated that there had been concerns raised about the operations of the board over a period of 18 months which were not addressed. Dakota County is not intending to impede economic development, but needs agreements with the cities where county fiber will be utilized for economic development. This is similar to agreements that were utilized prior to the board being created. Slavik noted several partnerships with the county in recent years. VII. COUNCIL ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED VIII.
