PUBLIC HEARING I-94 Collector Distributor Project Mayor Meehan called the Public Hearing for I-94 to Order. City Administrator Kruse opened the hearing with the following history of the I-94 project. The City has been working on the I-94 project for 10 years. With bi-annual elections, this project has been supported by Mayor Don Peterson, Mayor Ron Klecker and now Mayor Mark Meehan. A number of past Council members have served and participated in development of the improvement plan including Leroy Berning, Dorothy Rich and Tom Fay. The Council through the last decade has made fixing the traffic congestion on CSAH 37 and CSAH 19 a priority. Back in 2006, the City Council commissioned a traffic study with computer generated traffic modeling. That modeling showed that the Albertville road system related to I-94 was degrading and with continued growth would soon get a failing grade. Kruse said in hindsight, the Mayors and City Council had a lot of foresight. Those involved in transportation planning know that if you wait until there is a traffic problem it can then take years to develop a plan, get approvals and funding. We have spent eight plus years building a MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 03 19 2012.doc 2 City of Albertville Council Minutes March 19, 2012 Page 3 of 8 consensus, a layout that is acceptable and one that can be approved. We initially looked at just adding two ramps on the east side of CSAH 19 which was the low cost inexpensive option that is most acceptable by the locals. Even though we technically met the one mile spacing requirement, Federal Highway would not allow additional ramps there because of the marginal spacing and the geometries of I-94 in this section. We at the time all questioned those geometries, but since then, there has been two semi -accidents, a bus rollover and other vehicle accidents just at or beyond the CSAH 37 overpass. To deal with the one -mile spacing between CSAH 37 and CSAH 19 we explored what is called a folded diamond. That would have moved the westerly CSAH 37 ramp into an easterly loop into where Emma Krumbee's Restaurant is now located. Anyway, to make a long story short, probably ten different configurations were explored, some more extensively than others. All of those plans ran into conflict with Federal Highway approvals. Kruse said having an approved plan is one thing and having money to build it is another. We have always said Albertville can't build this alone. We have been very fortunate to receive $5,440,000 from the State of Minnesota's Greater Minnesota Interchange Fund, $250,000 from MNDot Maintenance Fund, $800,000 of Federal Funds and the Wright County Board has committed up to $1,640,000. So we are blessed to have a significant amount of outside funding for this project. Further, we are fortunate to obtain a very low interest rate for the money the City and County will need to borrow. Lastly, we are blessed to receive a very low construction bid below the engineer's estimate. All these combined makes this a very attractive project for us to do at a time when people need jobs and the added economic vitality that a construction project brings to Albertville. City Administrator Kruse then introduced City Engineer Adam Nafstad to present the Improvement information. City Engineer Nafstad made a PowerPoint presentation. Nafstad stated the project purpose is to improve access, accommodate traffic movements, relieve congestion, improve safety and the project has a reasonable economic payback. Nafstad went on to show the layout and components of the improvement. Nafstad reviewed the Phasing of future improvements, which included a duplicate road on the south side of the freeway, and Phase III which includes a bridge over CSAH 19. The timing of those improvements is unknown at this time. Nafstad reviewed the completed work to date, which includes an I-94 IRC Study, NE Wright County Sub -Area Transportation Study, I-94 Freeway Study Report, I-94 Interchange Access Request, Environmental Assessment, Staff Approved Geometric Layout and Final Design. Nafstad reported that all the necessary right-of-way has been acquired and a total project cost of $10,786,840. A Benefit Cost Analysis was reviewed showing a reasonable return on investment. Nafstad then reviewed the project funding which includes $800,000 SAFETEA-LU, $5,684,000 of Greater Minnesota Interchange Funding and $1,463,000 of funds from Wright County, leaving a local balance of $1,697,840. MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 03 19 2012.doc 3 City of Albertville Council Minutes March 19, 2012 Page 4 of 8 Nafstad reviewed a draft schedule of assessments and a project schedule, which concludes with an October -November Assessment Hearing. Nafstad solicited questions, which none were forthcoming. City Attorney Mike Couri reviewed the legal aspects of the Improvement and reviewed the Minnesota Chapter 429 process. Couri stated that the City has completed a before and after appraisal of a represent sample of properties throughout the neighborhood around the CSAH 19 and 1-94 Interchange to determine the benefit received by various properties. Based on those appraisals, staff interpolated the benefit to the remaining properties. Properties closest to the Improvement receive increase benefit and as you radiate out away from the improvement it is reduced. City Attorney Couri confirmed for the Council that all of the required steps in the 429 process has been completed to date and the next step is to listen for public comment and then to decide if the Council wants to do the project. Couri stated this is not a time to debate the assessment benefit, as that will likely come in October or November when the project is substantially complete. Mailed notice will be sent to all properties to be assessed and a public hearing will be held for that purpose. Mayor Meehan then opened the hearing to public comments. Former Mayor Ron Klecker introduced himself and said the City has been working on this project for a decade and elaborated on the need for the project. He described the large number of layout options the City worked through and the challenge to identify a design that met the needs of Albertville and could be approved by the State and Federal Highway Administration. Klecker urged the Council to proceed with the project. Former Council member Tom Fay introduced himself and said that he too had been involved with the project for his term on the Council. Fay spoke in favor of the project and encouraged the City Council support for the project. Fay concluded by saying this is a one time opportunity with the State grant and to take advantage of the funding. Don Savitski, owner of property on the corner of CSAH 19 and CSAH 37 said he supported the project. He said he obviously does not like the assessment, but understands the merits of the project. Savitski asked how Phase II would be assessed. City Attorney Couri stated the City has no design, no costs and at this time does not have any ideas on how that will be funded. He said that will be determined as that project develops. Savitski requested staff look at the assessment ratio for some of his buildings (car wash vs store). Mayor Meehan asked if there was any more public comment and hearing none, declared the Public Hearing closed and declared a recess for five minutes. MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 03 19 2012.doc 0 City of Albertville Council Minutes March 19, 2012 Page 5 of 8 CITY COUNCIL I-94 Collector Distributor Project Mayor Meehan opened the regular City Council meeting and said the next item of business is the question on whether the Council proceeds with the project. City Engineer Adam Nafstad reported that the State will need additional time to review the bid to insure they meet the State and Federal Disadvantage Business requirements and other criteria. He is hopeful that a recommendation will be forthcoming for the April 2nd meeting. City Attorney Mike Couri informed the Council that in order to preserve the right to assess at a later date, the Council must pass the project by a super majority 4/5 vote. Mayor Meehan asked the Council for input and the consensus was to proceed with the project. The Mayor and Council each individually commended the prior Council and staff for their work on the project. Council member Sorensen credited former Mayor Ron Klecker for working with Wright County to gain their funding participation. CMs Hendrickson/Sorensen moved the adoption of Resolution No. 2012-012 entitled a Resolution Ordering the Improvement as on file in the Office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Meehan declared the Resolution adopted. CMs Sorensen/Wagner moved the adoption of Resolution No. 2012-013 entitled a Resolution Accepting the Offer of the Minnesota Public Authority to Purchase a $4,113,700 General Obligation Improvement Note of 2012, Provide for Issuance and Authorizing Execution of a Project Loan Agreement. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Meehan declared the Resolution adopted. CMs Wager/Sorensen moved the adoption of Resolution No. 2012-014 entitled a Resolution to approve an Agreement between the City of Albertville and CenterPoint Energy to relocate the I- 94 Natural Gas Pipelines. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Meehan declared the Resolution adopted. 5964 and 5975 Main Avenue Building Leases The Council reviewed options for the existing lease at 5975 Main Avenue with Josh Perisian as per a memo dated March 15, 2012 by City Administrator Kruse. City Attorney Couri advised the Council to serve a formal notice to Mr. Perisian outlining his options which the Council determined as follows) MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 03 19 2012.doc 5 City of Albertville Council Minutes March 19, 2012 Page 6 of 8 1) Sign a new lease for 5975 Main Avenue for the $2,000 per month with the City paying all expenses (gas, electric, water, sewer, yard and parking lot maintenance). 2) Sign a new lease with him for the 5964 Main Avenue building at $1,000 per month with the City paying all expenses (gas, electric, and water, sewer, yard and parking lot maintenance. 3) Sign a short term week to week lease to allow Liv Music to stay in the building while the City tries to lease the building out to someone willing to pay the full rent, thus giving Perisian time to evaluate other options. CMs Wagner/Sorensen moved to direct staff to write a letter to Josh Perisian of Live Music outlining the above three options. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Public Works Supervisor Guimont presented his written report. UTILITIES DEPARTMENT Water and Waste Water Supervisor Middendorf presented his written report BUILDING DEPARTMENT The Council acknowledged Building Official Sutherland's report. FINANCE DEPARTMENT League of Minnesota Cities Annual Renewal of Insurance Carl Bennetson and Don Youngdahl of Northern Capital Insurance Group presented the policy renewal. Staff supports NCIG's suggestion to increase the deductible from $1,000 to $2,500. Finance Director Lannes stated that based on past history there is a $4,000 financial savings. Lannes said, this can change, but the history suggests it is a reasonable assumption this action will save the City money. Lannes also reported the City will receive approximately $30,000 for a rebate for 2011, as the coverage information submitted in last year's renewal was more than required. Lannes reported the 2012 insurance is approximately $30,000 less for the same reason while covering additional property. MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 03 19 2012.doc on City of Albertville Council Minutes March 19, 2012 Page 7 of 8 CMs Sorensen/Hendrickson motioned to approve the League of Minnesota Cities renewal as presented by Northern Capital Insurance Group with a $2,500 deductible as on file in the office of the City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously. PLANNING REPORT City Planner Alan Brixius presented an oral update on the City Visioning Project and Central Park Master Plan update. Brixius stated he has interviews with the City Council next week and looks forward to taking public comment at the Town Hall Meeting on April 14`h. ADMINISTRATION Public Works Director/City Engineer Employment Agreement City Administrator Kruse presented the Council with the Public Works Director Contract on behalf of the Personnel Committee and reported Adam Nafstad is willing to accept. The Council reviewed the terms of the contract and agreed with the change in starting bank of sick leave and vacation. City Attorney Mike Couri stated he has reviewed the contract and finds it is in good order. The Council questions how mileage is reimbursed and recommended adding the word "annually" to select either a stipend or the Federal IRS mileage reimbursement rate. Mayor Meehan/Council Member Hendrickson moved to approve the Public Works Director/City Engineer Employment Agreement and authorize the City Clerk and Mayor to sign the Agreement with the word "annually" added to the mileage reimbursement paragraph with Nafstad starting in early April and to direct staff to amend the budget to reflect the personnel change. Motion carried unanimously. The Council welcomed new Public Works Director/City Engineer Nafstad to the City!

March 27, 2012 SUBJECT: FINANCE — RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING AND DOCUMENTING INTER -FUND LOANS/ADVANCES FROM THE SEWER ACCESS FUND RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following: MOTION TO: approve Resolution No. 2012-016 entitled a Resolution Authorizing and Documenting Inter -Fund Loan to Fund Negative Fund balances. Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to 1999 Lease Revenue Bond Fund (354) in the amount of $641 to fund the negative balance in the debt service fund; and, Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to 2003A GO Imp Bond Fund (357) in the amount of $1,316,176 to fund the negative balance in the debt service fund; and, Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to City Hall Revenue Bond Fund (359) in the amount of $16,577 to fund the negative balance in the debt service fund; and, Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to I-94 Capital Project Fund (468) in the amount of $983,983 to fund the negative balance in the debt service fund; and, Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to Prairie Run Capital Project Fund (473) in the amount of $746,029 to fund the negative balance in the capital project fund; and, Inter -Fund Loan from Sewer Access Fund (204) to Flood Mitigation (498) in the amount of $1,690 to fund the negative balance in the capital project fund; BACKGROUND: Throughout the year, the City Council approves projects with plans to issue bonds or some other type of financing at a later time. Inter -fund loans provide interim financing until the other financing is completed. In some cases inter -fund loans are the primary source to finance projects that have a very short financing term. An example of this is carrying assessments for a project for a few years where it is not cost effective to issue new debt. At least annually, City Staff and auditors review and recommend inter -fund loans/advances to fund running negative balances so as to remain in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council's policy to review and approve all inter -fund loans/advances. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At least annually, the City of Albertville must fund all negative running balances for Capital Projects, Debt Service or other miscellaneous funds in Mayor and Council Communication — March 27, 2012 Finance Director — Resolution No. 2012-016 Page 2 of 2 accordance with General Accounting Principals (GAAP). The inter -fund loan or advance is a loan from Sewer Access Charge Fund (SAC) to the respective negative balance funds at an interest rate of equal to the rate of investment earned by the City's investments. Included in the loan is a financial commitment detailing the source of funds to repay the loan. These inter -fund loans are an inexpensive way to fund some City activities instead of issuing bonds. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to review and direct staff to take action regarding all financial matters. Submitted through: Larry R.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: Awarding construction bids and financing projects is done on a project by project basis and is subject to Mayor and City Council approval. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City expects to receive $5,737,688.80 from the State for construction of the I-94 WB CD road. Wright County has committed up to $1,462,967.00 towards the project and benefited property is to be assessed $945,196. The City proposes to pay a $4,113,700 PFA Loan back over a 20 year period. Interim financing will be done through use of the Minnesota State Interchange Grant Program and draw down of the PFA Loan throughout the project.

March 29, 2012 SUBJECT: Engineering — I-94 WB C-D Road Construction Administration RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following motions to proceed with administration of construction and the contract for the I-94 West Bound Collector Distributor Road project MOTION TO: Approve service agreement with St. Michael entitled Agreement for Resident Project Representative Services. MOTION TO: To approve hiring the City of St. Michael, SRF,Bolton & Menk, and Braun Intertec on an as needed hourly basis for construction administration, engineering, testing and construction staking services, as required by the Mn/DCP Agreement, with management oversight by the Albertville Public Works Director/City Engineer. INFORMATION: Should the Council choose to award the construction contract and pursue implementation of the improvements the City will need to provide construction administration services, as required by the previously approved DCP agreement with Mn/DOT. Such services generally include: project management, project engineering, construction observation, material testing, construction staking, and general project oversight. Staff proposed the following management team to provide the construction administrative services: Project Manager: To be provided internally by Public Works Director/City Engineer Adam Nafstad. It is estimated that this position will require approximately 900 hours of service through total project completion. Project Engineer: It is proposed that the project design engineers, SRF Consulting, provide the continued engineering services as the project engineer. It is estimated that this position will require approximately 800 hours of service, or approximately 20 hours a week through completion of the contract. Inspection: It is proposed the Resident Project Representative (RPR) services be jointly provided by Bolton & Menk and the City of St. Michael. It is estimated that RPR services will require two (2) full-time on -site employees through the duration of the project. It is estimated that each RPR will provide approximately 2,200 hours of service through the construction period. Special Inspections: Special structural inspections or engineering needs related to the retaining walls are provided by the design engineers, SRF Consulting. It is estimated that approximately 400 hours of special inspections may be required through the construction period. Meeting Date: April 2, 2012 31 Mayor and Council Communication — March 29, 2012 I-94 Collector Distributor Road Project Page 2 of 2 Construction Staking: Bolton & Menk continue to provide the survey and construction staking services required for construction. It is estimated that approximately 650 hours of survey services will be required. Material Testing: It is proposed that Braun Intertec be retained to provide the quality assurance material testing required for the project. Braun's services will include on -site and plant sampling and testing, as well as, laboratory testing and reporting. Because the actual professional service hours required for construction administration will be dependant the Contractor's schedule and site conditions, it is recommended that all services be provided on an as -needed hourly basis and at a set hourly rate. Based on the total estimated services hours and assumed testing schedule, the estimated total construction administration cost is $835,000. KEY ISSUES: • Estimated cost of construction administration is $835,000. The budgeted projection for the services is $894,000. • The St. Michael service agreement represents a partnership that provides value and a savings to both communities. • Services contracts would be entered into with each entity on an as needed hourly basis. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The estimated costs of the professional services needed to administer the project have been included in the total project cost estimates. The City expects to receive $5,737,688.80 from the State for construction of the I94 WB CD road. Wright County has committed up to $1,640,000 towards the project and benefited property is to be assessed $945,196. The City proposes to pay a $4,113,700 PFA Loan back over a 20 year period. Interim financing will be done through use of the Minnesota State Interchange Grant Program and draw down of the PFA Loan throughout the project.
