RITE CABLE COMPANY OF MINNESOTA, LTD.
•
October 9, 1985
Dear Mayor Walsh and Council Members:
Rite Cable Company has been working very hard to do the necessary pre -
construction steps to building cable in the Albertville, St. Michael,
Dayton, and Otsego area.
Our plan, as I previously described it to you was to complete the mapping,
apply for pole contracts, locate the potential pole clearance violations,
request the utilities to make the necessary rearrangements, submit our routing
maps to Magnavox for design, begin to track the completed utility rearrangements
that coordinate with our planned contruction and then have our aerial contractor
move smoothly from Sherburne/Wright into Albertville, St. Michael, Dayton, Otsego
new build area.
Our aerial contractor, however, completed the Sherburne/Wright build over
thirty (30) days in advance, and we were at a loss as to what to do with the
crews until our preliminary work in your area was finished. To put it simply,
^ they cannot stand and wait.
I figured out that by the time we relocated them for five or six weeks,
and then tried to bring them back to Minnesota, we would be in the middle of
the holiday season. The next six to eight weeks consists of weather that is
nearly impossible to work in outside.
We have therefore, decided to continue the pre -construction work, and ready
everything for a fresh construction start in the spring.
I'm certain that when you consider all these factors, you will see the timetable
predicament in which we have found ourselves, and understand this course of
action.
I would be happy to attend a council or board meeting and give you a more
detailed update, if you decide that is needed. I will keep you posted, as
things progress, and highlight any chances that may take place in this plan.
Regards,
,�r

TO: The City of Albertville
FROM: Jeff Dow, President
Humane Society of Wright County
Enclosed is a copy of our Animal Impound Contract with the cities and townships
in Wright County to provide impound services for lost, stray, abandonded and
injured animals within their jurisdiction.
Our records indicate that your city is not currently contracting
with us to handle any stray dogs or cats from your area. We encourage you to
review this contract at this time, and to make the decision in favor of signing
it and returning it to us.
This decision provides you and your constituents with a workable solution to the
stray dog and cat situation which does exist here in Wright County. Our first
six (6) months (March through August 1985) in operation as an animal shelter and
impound facility have only proven to reinforce this issue, as we currently re-
ceive something over 100 calls a month from concerned citizens about lost, home-
less and troublesome animals in their neighborhoods.
Until now, without your help, we have been unable, for financial reasons, to
assist these citizen callers from your area. It is noteworthy that the vast
majority of individuals who do phone us are quite distressed to find out that
their elected officials have not chosen to enter into this agreement with us.
Further, we remind many, many people each month, and would like to remind you
again, as well, that we receive NO government funding from ANY level to support
our efforts to help the people and pets of Wright County. Our only income is
from pet adoptions, cash donations, and impound fees.
Again, please consider your position in this matter, and return one copy of
the signed contract in the envelope provided. An additional copy is enclosed
for your records.
If you have any questions or would like any additional information, please do
not hesitate to call us at the shelter in Delano, 972-3577, or myself at home,
682-4763.

SUBJ: Animal Impound Contract
1. This contract represents an agreement between The Humane Society of t
Wright County and The City of Albertville to provide animal impound services
for stray dogs and cats within the jurisdiction of said city
2. This service will be provided during normal business hours, 7 days a week except
Hosidays, ONLY WITH PRIOR AUTHORIZATION FROM A CITY OR TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL. Those
business hours shall be: Monday through Friday, 12 to 5 p.m.
Saturday 10 to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 4 p.m.
3. At this time, the stray animal must be transported by a concerned citizen
and/or city or township official to the impound facility located lk miles east
of Delano on MN State Hiway 12. The Humane Society is unable to provide pick-up
services for the animals at this time.
4. Animals brought in will be held for the required five working days and, if
not claimed by the owner, will be put up for adoption or be euthanized, at our
discretion. Every attempt will be made by The Humane Society to locate the
owner(s) of stray pets.
5. If the animal is claimed by the owner, the owner will pay all boarding costs
plus any fines or license fees imposed by the city or township. The fines or
license fees will then be turned back to the community involved.

DOGS: 5 days boarding at $4.00 per day ...... $20.00
CATS: 5 days boarding at $3.00 per day ...... $15.00

tion, illnes, etc.), an additional $10.00 per dog and $8.00 per cat will be
charged for euthanasia and disposal fees.
NOTE: All dogs having positive heartworm tests will be euthanized regardless of
age, breed, or condition.
Payment for any impound services provided will be required on a monthly basis,
upon receipt of a monthly statement.

Re: Feasibility Study
Members of the Council:
We have examined the estimated costs associated with improving
the north frontage road abutting the Hackenmueller's shopping
site. The study area consists of an existing gravel road within
the City of Albertville.
The existing gravel structure appears to be in fair to good
condition but the surface is warped to some degree. We dug
3 test holes in the existing structure and found from 6" to
10" of gravel underlain by a cohesionless sand.
Proposed improvements consist of blading the road to a proper
cross-section, applying 6 inches of additional gravel, and
paving with a 11" layer of bituminous base and li" layer of
bituminous wear.
The north side should not have to be disturbed but the south
side will need black dirt to prevent erosion.
The estimated cost of the above described improvements including
construction, engineering, legal and administrative costs is
$8,300. This estimated cost assumes that this project can
be done in conjunction with a larger project to get better
prices.
The above proposals are feasible and would result in an improve-
ment to the abutting benefited property.
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Dear Chairman Eichelberg:
TELEPHONE 941 9220
AREA CODE 612
Pursuant to the request of the Board, I have drafted for your
review and comment a Resolution establishing site plan and
"as-builts" requirements for new connections, This Resolution is
meant for discussion by Board members. I am sure that there will
be many comments and additions to it.
In 1981 the Joint Board adopted an amendment to the operating
agreement which allowed the Board to adopt appropriate regulations
by Resolution without amendment of. the Operating Agreement;
meaning, that the Board can act on its own. In my review of the
documents which have been adopted from time to time by the Board,
there does not appear to be a comprehensive set of regulations
governing connection, materials, subdivision hook-ups, capacity
allocation, etc. The enclosure addresses one issue, that of
connection of a single premises. I believe that a comprehensive
approach to regulations would be in the best interest of the
Board. This would seem a particularly appropriate time because,
as I understand it, the various member communities are considering
regulations at this time which would relate to development and the
water system. Our office would be happy to undertake such a
comprehensive review and recommendation to the Board.
I look forward to your comments with reference to the above.
Sincerely,
Georq_ e C . Hoff

RESOLUTION REQUIRING SITE PLANS BEFORE CONNE(_-TION
WHEREAS, the Hanover, Frankfort, St. Michael and Albertville
Water and Sanitary Sewer Board are authorized to adopt appropriate
regulations concerning persons making connection to the Joint
Powers Water System by amendment to the Operating and Authoriza-
tion Agreement dated February 3, 1981; and
WHEREAS, certain regulations are needed to assure appropriate
construction and connection to the water system;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Hanover,
Frankfort, St. Michael and Albertville Water and Sanitary Sewer
Board as follows:
1. Site Plan Required. Before any person shall be issued a
permit to connect with the Joint Powers Water System, he
shall provide to the Water Superintendent or System Operator
a site plan which will show the proposed connection. The
site plan shall include all information reasonably required
by the Water Superintendent or System Operator including, but
not necessarily limited to, the following:
(a) A description of the premises to be served, including
number of toilets, sinks, and other water connections.
(b) The water line which will connect the premises to the
water system; including, the depth of said line, type of
material, type of cuppling, location of meter, location
^ of stopbox and size of connecting pipe.
(c) A description of all disruption or excavation to be done
on public property or easements and the plans for
restoration of the same.
2. Upon presentation of the site plan above referenced, the
Water Superintendent or System Operator shall review the same
to see that it is in conformance with all State Building,
Plumbing and Health Department requirements and all regula-
tions adopted by this Board. If it is found to do so a
permit to connect shall be issued. If not, no such permit
shall be issued and the applicant shall be directed to amend
his site plan.
3. After completion of the construction the installer shall
provide to the Water Superintendent or System Operator an
"as -built" plan which will include at a minimum the items set
forth above with certification that the installation has been
made in conformity with the approved site plan.
-I-
4. No water service shall be allowed to the premises until such
time as the "as-builts" are provided to and approved by the
Water Superintendent or System Operator. Provided, however,
that in the event the Water Superintendent or System Operator
determines that the installation is actually not in
conformity with the site plan and the "as-builts", actual use
of the system may be denied.
5. In the event that there is to be excavation done on public
property requiring restoration activities, the Water
Superintendent or System Operator may require security for
restoration of the public right-of-way in an amount deemed
sufficient by him. Said security may be either in the form
of a letter of credit or appropriate performance bond with
accompanying agreement related to restoration activities.
ADOPTED this day of , 1985, by the
Hanover, Frankfort, St. Michael and Albertville Water and Sanitary
Sewer Board.

7. It should be noted that in order to ensure the health and safety of the public,
who regualrly visits our shelter in search of adoptable pets, NO animal who has bitten
a person and is suspected of having rabies will be impounded at our shelter. Minnesota
State Statues require that local law enforcement officials provide such a service.
8. This contract will be reinstated on an annual basis, and may be terminated by
either party upon thirty (30) days written notice.

Dear Fire Chien VetScn:
This letter is to confirm that the Fire Department has reserved the use
of the City Hall and the Fire Barn for the annual Fire Department's Fund
Raiser on October 18, 1985. In addition, the City Council approved the

October 7th.
The City, however, has some concerns with the fact that the evening's
events has been advertised as "Vegas Night". The City also understands
that Vegas Night does not necessarily mean that you are gambling for
money which is illegal, pursuant to Minnesota State Statute 349.13.
If you have any questions regarding the City City's stance regarding
the Fire Department's Fund Raiser please feel free to contact the
City Attorney, Gary Meyer of Meyer, Nelson and Miller, at 588-9424
