CITY OF ALBERTVILLE ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA 55301 PHONE: 497-3384 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 27, 1986 The special meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Acting -Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Donald Cornelius, Bob Braun and Gary Schwenzfeier, while members Mayor Walsh and Donatus Vetsch were absent. Others present included Maureen Andrews, Gary Meyer, and Jerry Shannon of Springstead. The discussion was opened to the upcoming bond sale, Mr. Shannon discussed some of the aspects of the sale. The City is bonding for two different projects, 1986-1--Beaudry's 2nd Addition and Barthel Residential Phase II and 1986-2--Psyk's 4th Addition and Barthel Manor. Mr. Shannon explained that $575,000.00 worth of bonds would need to be sold to cover the costs of the projects. It was then explained that there had been a problem with the publication requirements under State Statute 429, which authorizes the City to sell bonds for street improvements. The problem was that as part of the requirements a NOTICE OF IMPROVEMENT HEARING must be published twice not less than 10 days before the hearing. Publication of both projects had only been advertised once, therefore the notices would have to be republished and and in the case of the 1986-1 Improvement Hearing, the hearing would have to be reheld. The hearing for 1986-2 had not been held at this point so it was cancelled and rescheduled to meet the re- quirements. It was decided that the improvement hearings and the bond sale could be held the same evening, so the hearings were scheduled for September 22, 1986. As part of the discussion the Council decided to set the hearings in 15minute intervals and if more time was needed it was agreed that the hearing could be stopped and bids be accepted. Jerry further explained that because the City is not rated by Moody at the present time, that we could expect a net interest rate of about 7.24. Jerry feels that because the City is growing we could get a good interest rate. The following motion were made: 1. A motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Don Cornelius to set the Improvement Hearing for Beaudry's 2nd Addition and Barthel Residential --Phase II for streets, curb and gutter for September 22, 1986 at 7:00 p.m. All were in favor and the motion passes.

It is a primary way in which the League Board and staff maintain contact with members around the state, learn of issues and problems which cities face, and develop information which can become part of League services or legislative policies. This year's meetings are especially important because we are assessing the value of the current format of regional meetings and attempting to get directions from city officials about modifications in the program. We hope that you will attend the meetings and give us your advice about how they can be improved and made more effective for you. Enclosed is an agenda and a list of meeting dates and locations for your information. The 1986 regional meetings will provide an opportunity for city officials to review the progress of League policy development. We will be asking your opinion of the progress of the League's policy committees and your suggestion for future areas of study. As we all know, this is an election year. The regional meetings will provide an opportunity for candidates for the Legislature to meet with city officials whom they hope to represent. It is an excellent time to discuss particular problems which your city has and solutions which you would like to see developed at the Legislature. We have also arranged for table talk sessions with representatives of several state agencies which will be held from 5:00 until 6:30. You can seek individual answers to problems of your city with representatives of the Departments of Transportation, Energy and Economic Development, the Pollution Control Agency, and the Department of Natural Resources. (Please see memo from Tom Thelen.) League staff have prepared brief issue papers concerning the work of the policy committees thus far, a copy of each of those issue papers is enclosed for your information. Additional copies will be available at the regional meetings. You may wish to look these over in order to raise questions about the policies which are under consideration by the League committees. We look forward to seeing you at the regional meetings.

I. TAX INCREMENT FINANCE During the last session of the Legislature, the House of Representatives passed a bill which developed new requirements for tax increment finance. The bill did not become law. These requirements, however, included the establishment of a limit for tax increment finance activity by cities, a substantial change in the pre-79 project law, and a number of other changes. The committee will review this area with Representative Schreiber who drafted ;the bill. They will develop a proposed policy on tax increment finance with last year's legislation as well as new federal restrictions in mind. 11. PORT AUTHORITY LEGISLATION The Legislature enacted an economic development authority law which substantially fulfilled the League policy which suggested that all cities should have the ability to establish port authorities in order to do economic development programs. However, the bill which was signed into law by the Governor contains some significant limitations as compared with the pre-existing port authority statutes which were enacted for individual cities. The committee will consider whether the League should seek additional legislation in this field or be content with the products of the Legislature during the last session. III. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS The committee is reviewing the operation of the various programs of technical and financial assistance of the Department of Energy and Economic Development. The committee will consider the adequacy of these programs and develop policy to affirm or ask modification of the DEED programs in this field. IV. HOUSING The currently pending Federal Tax Reform Act renders the current League policy in the housing field in need of substantial revision. The Development Strategies Committee is awaiting the completion of the Federal Tax Reform Act so that the League may work on a policy position which would conform to the restrictions contained in the new federal law. It h c.. Wit.. pr<�ul. rnn �r �asota 551 01 (6 � 2] 22 1 5E�00 LLL league of minnesota cities Government Structure and General Legislation Committee Issue Paper Committee to focus efforts on tort reform In 1985, the Legislature responded to recent increases in the cost of insuring cities and other local units of government from public liability exposure. The legislation can perhaps be best described as a modest effort to reduce municipal liability exposure in state court actions. Experiences since the enactment of the legislation has demonstrated a continued need for legislative limitations on liability. Further, recent Minnesota court decisions have raised the question regarding the utility of the 1985 legislative enactments. The Government Structure and General Legislation Committee (GSGL) is expected to review and act on both general and specific policy options for further limiting the exposure of municipalities. These policy options include: 1. Adopting additional legislative language supporting the continued existence of the municipal tort liability act. Limiting cities liability exposure for specific types of torts, as well as for overall damage amounts. This action is felt by many to be necessary to prevent a court of law from ruling that the Tort Liability Act is unconstitutional as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. 2. Addressing the recent Minnesota Appeal's Court decision that held the participation of cities in self-insurance pools, such as the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, constitutes a waiver of statutorily provided for defenses to liability. 3. Clarifying the exposure of cities and their taxypayers to punitive damages claims brought against their officers and/or employees. 1985 legislation prohibits cities from indemnifying officers charged by the court with punitive damages for willful or malicious actions. Proposals by interested parties include requiring indemnification for any punitive damage, abolishing punitive damages for government employees, granting governmental bodies the discretion to idemnify employees for punitive damages, or limiting the amount that can be assessed any employee. 4. Possible modifications to 1985 legisation that limits municipal exposure for joint and several liability. These changes may be necessitated due to the potential equal protection problem caused by hte enactment of the section protecting local units of government, but not private citizens or businesses, without specific findings rationalizing the legislative action. The GSGL Committee is also expected to address problems with the open meeting law, state mandates, special assessments, and elections.

The 1987 legislature is expected to continue the analysis of the existing grant program, explore the creation of a revolving loan fund, and decide on a level of state financial assistance in wastewater treatment programs. Despite determined efforts by local governments and the state, there is still an estimated need for wastewater treatment systems costing approximately $1.1 billion. This need is required to be met by federal legislation that mandates all dischargers of sewage effluent to meet federal standards by 1988. The committee will address the following issues: 1. The level of state financial assistance. Currently, the state contributes approximately $11 million to the state wastewater treatment financial assistance program which is raised out of the cigarette tax. This contrasts significantly with Wisconsin which has raised over $260 million for state assistance to local governments. 2. The type of state financial assistance. Current federal and state financial assistance programs are in the form of matching grants. There has been preliminary discussions regarding the creation of a revolving loan fund which would provide low or no interest loans, rather than grants, to communties. Whether to proceed with this approach, its level of funding, eligibility requirements, and interplay with the existing grant programs are all issues which need resolution. 3. Additional administrative or agency changes. The future role of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency in this area is currently under consideration. Options range from removing the agency totally from grant administration oversight to having the agency take complete control of system construction with municipalities taking over the operation and maintenance of the system once the state finishes its construction. 4. Fees for discharge permits. The legislature recently increased the level of state fees for the administration and enforcement of wastewater treatment laws. The fee formula and fee levels are issues I t3:3 � 11 11VK_:1 �iE.,, .wer-A,t -,ASL, St. pL3u1, Irani-1t--S0 a=i 551 O"1 LL:3'I 2) 2,P 7-5600 that will be addressed by the committee. Other committee issues include land use and planning legislation, annexation, solid and hazardous waste management, surface and groundwater protection programs, and transportation and transit legislation. L 1-11 league of minnesota cities Personnel and Public Safety Committee Issue Paper Rule of 85 Extension. Should eligibility to retire with an unreduced benefit with any combination of age and years of service equalling 85 or more years be extended to people who qualify on or after January 1, 1987. Local Police and Fire Relief Associations Merging into PERA. Should members of the local police and paid fire pension plans be allowed to elect coverage under PERA rather than their local plan. Should this be allowed and encouraged if the local plan is eliminated and all active former local members draw benefits and pay contributions under the PERA formula, with the transferring city paying full actuarial costs to PERA. Workers Compensation Offset. Should PERA be allowed to pay full disability benefits to disabled members (especially police and fire members) while the disabled member draws workers compensation payments, as is permitted under the local police and fire plans. Funded Retirees Health Insurance. Should PERA be establish a program to offer health insurance to retired employees. If so, should it be fully or partially financed be governmental employees. Should cities have the option whether or not to participate. Elected Officials Retirement. Should elected officials and volunteers (i.e. ambulance) be subject to the regular PERA program with an option of membership when salary reaches $325 per month. Or should they be covered under a defined contribution plan similar to an IRA. Discipline and Discharge. Minnesota statutes currently constitute a legal mine field for public employers seeking to discipline or discharge their employees. Any grievance or disciplinary action undertaken by a city may involve the state's Veteran Preference Laws, Public Employer Labor Relations Act, civil service or merit systems, Human Rights Act, as well as federal and state constitutional due process requirements. The committee is currently considering two major approaches to solving the discipline and discharge problem. 1. Accelerate discharge procedures. While the League does not opposes termination hearings where they are required by state statute or federal or state constitutions, it seems an unnecessary waste of taxpayers' money to allow these procedures to last in excess of a year in some cases. The problem, is exaggerated under the state's Veterans Preference Law which provides that a veteran is suspended with pending a final determination by a veterans preference board. In many cases, the result has been payment by the municipality for two employees during the suspension period, a result which is particularly burdensome to small communities. The PPS committee will be studying ways to streamline discharge processes, particularly the veterans preference statutes. 1 t3 J III uvc r ,iLy , ivunLf- east, St- Paul, rninnesota 551 O'I (B 1 2) 227-5600 Personnel and Public Safety Issue Paper Page 2 2. Dual Disciplinary Hearings. Under current law, employees covered under both a collective bargaining agreement grievance and discharge procedures who are also veterans protected under the veterans preference statutes, are entitled to hearings under both procedures. The result is not only grossly inefficient, but may also be unworkable since the standards for court review of the decisions of veterans preference boards and grievance arbitrators vary significantly. The Minnesota Supreme Court, in a recent case, indicated its dissatisfaction with the dual hearing mechanism. The committee will consider a policy that legislation be enacted providing that a public employee faced with a potential discharge, would be required to select a single hearing procedure. Pay Equity. The 1986 legislature again considered the issue of pay equity or "comparable worth", in the end enacting a modification to the 1984 statute that, in the opinion of many, has substantially weakened the ability of local governments and other units of government to maintain equitable compensation relationships in the light of arbitrations for essential employees. The PPS committee will attempt to evaluate problems experienced by cities in the process of implementing the studies, as well as potential problems in maintaining equity once the studies are implemented. league of minnesota cities REVENUE SOURCES COMMITTEE DEBATING PROPERTY TAX REFORM AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID Although cities were spared major cuts in their state funding this year, the 1987 legislature is likely to consider changes in the property tax system and local government aid program which could dramatically affect cities' revenues and budgets. The Revenue Sources Committee, composed of representatives from cities throughout the state, will be studying these key tax and financing issues during the next two months. The Committee's recommendations will be the first step in defining the League's legislative policies and priorities for next year. Issues the Committee is considering include: * Property Tax Reform: While applauding simplification and accountability as desirable property tax reform goals, the League's draft policy cautions the legislature to analyze proposals not just for their impact statewide, but also for their effect on individual communities. Major shifts in the relative tax burdens among taxing jurisdictions must be avoided as should major shifts in tax burdens among property classes. The League's draft policy also argues that local government aid should be maintained as an essential component of the property tax relief system. Additionally, property tax reforms should not jeopardize existing tax increment financing districts. * Local Government Aid: The League's draft policy supports continuation of the local government aid program with annual appropriations increases of six percent in 1988 and 1989. The Revenue Sources Committee will be debating whether the League should recommend specific revisions in the current formula or general principles for reform. These general principles could include: the formula should reflect both need and revenue raising capacity of a municipality; a city's decisions on expenditures for "basic municipal services" should be a factor in the formula; and any major formula changes should allow for adequate transition periods. * Levy Limits: The League's draft policy recommending repeal of levy limit laws will be especially important if local governments are forced to contend with cuts in state and I t 3: 3 t,i uvL!i,�3it,y ..ivenLJ--- east, st. paul, rninnesota 551 01 (61 2) 22 7-5600 federal financial aid. * Muncipal Bonds: The League's draft policy favors permanent repeal of interest rate limits on bonds enabling cities to respond to changing market forces and federal action. * Local Option Taxes: The League is considering policy which favors granting cities local option to utilize non-traditional revenue sources, such as sales taxes, to replace loss in state shared revenues. league of minnesota cities CURRENT FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE POLICY ISSUES General Revenue Sharin With future funding of General Revenue Sharing uncertain, alternatives to the current program of direct federal assistance to local government are being considered by the LMC Federal Legislative Committee. LMC policy continues to support full funding of GRS, along with explicit concern for future targeting of GRS payments to recognize differences in fiscal capacity and the essential role of the federal government in assuring adequate levels of service at the local level. The committee will discuss provisions of the Targeted Fiscal Assistance Act (S. 2037) introduced by Senator David Durenberger and recommend policy to the membership in November. Federal Tax Reform Alarm has replaced earlier concerns over provisions of federal tax reform legislation that severely restrict cities' authority to issue municipal bonds. Imposition of unworkable tests for tax-exempt financing along with the further lowering of an arbitrary per capita volume limit for many types of bonds have left cities without many of the development and public financing tools they have traditionally used to improve local economies and infrastructure. Pending final adoption of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the LMC Federal Legislative Committee has been monitoring the legislative deliberations and will make specific recommendations on its provisions with respect to their impact on city finances and development initiatives. Housing Loss of federal housing programs and assistance since 1981 has left cities without the means to provide low and moderate income housing to meet the demand for affordable residential units except through the use of single and multifamily housing bonds. Federal tax reform restrictions may make access to such bond authority even more limited than at present. In that circumstance, the Legislative Committee may look to new strategies and financing alternatives to meet cities' housing needs.

Members of the Federal Legislative Committee will examine the impact of Gramm-Rudmanon meanscities ofndeficitand aeduction isprojections tofor be FFY187. opposition to this recommended to member cities in November. Stormwater Permits Current LMC federal policy expresses strong opposition to diverting wastewater treatment construction grant funds to address non -point source pollution problems and opposes 1985 proposed EPA stormwater regulations that would require city testing of thousands of outfall sites for stormwater discharge. Modification of the stormwater permit regulations has been making its way through Congress as part of the reauthorization of the Clean Water Act. The Federal Legislative Committee will examine the results of Congressional efforts to develop policy dealing with pollution problems resulting from stormwater run-off and will recommend a position reflecting cities' interests in the compromise legislation. _ Hazardous Materials Transportation The committee has been following NLC policy deliberations and is working together with the LMC Land Use, Energy, and Transportation Committee to develop policy on the roles cities play in the routing, emergency response, and regulation of the shipment of hazardous materials.

The focus of the new law covers issues of potential interest and concern to you as it relates to seasonal permits, discharge allowances, necessity and appropriateness of rule changes, technical requirements proposed by the MPCA and more. To deal with these issues involving the Wastewater Grants Program, a special Technical Advisory Committee has been established to review and pass on the realistic needs that impact communities as proposed by the MPCA. Several of you have asked to be kept informed of the committee progress. The committee has held two meetings. The first meeting we brainstormed many of the problems encountered in the grant program and decided there were three areas that needed attention. The first would be to clearly define the proper role of the MPCA, the Owner, the Engineer and the Contractor. As a result of extended open discussion, the MPCA is reviewing its present practices to see if they should consider a change in what they currently view as their responsibility. The second issue that we will be considering at our next meeting is cost containment issues and how we can reduce costly requirements. The third issue that is being left for other committees is future financing. We are also considering several rule changes by the MPCA. Our committee is interested in obtaining input from you on any of these issues. If you have an interest, concern, problem or comment, please feel free to contact any member of the committee.
