RECOGNITIONS MPCA WASTE TREATMENT AWARD Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Waste Treatment Compliance Award. City Administrator Larry Kruse called forward Waste Water and Water Supervisor John Middendorf and Operator Gerald Gerads. Kruse stated that both John and Gerald do a great job managing and operating the Utility Department. The MPCA Award is the 51h such award received. Kruse said, the credit goes beyond these two individuals, as Public Works and some of the office staff all partake in operation of the utility department. The City sends over 30,000 utility bills every year and works with roughly 2% on collection issues. From billing to distribution systems to processing the waste this all goes on 24/7 365 days a year with almost no complaints. The team is to be M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 2 of 10 applauded for the excellent job they do and especially Supervisor John Middendorf. The large crowd acknowledged them with a large round of applause. Fire Chief Tate Mills asked the Council to authorize PW Director/City Engineer Nafstad to develop one or two concepts for a memorial bench location in the Hunter's Lake neighborhood. CMs Sorensen/Wagner moved to ask PW Director/City Engineer Nafstad to develop one or two concepts for a memorial bench location in the Hunter's Lake neighborhood and work with the Fire Department and the Weishars to evaluate a memorial project. Motion carried unanimously. 2011 AUDIT Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Matt Mayor of Kern DeWenter Viere, Ltd (KDV) presented the 2011 Annual Audit. Mr. Mayor stated their firm has given an unqualified opinion for the City of Albertville's financial statement. This is the highest quality opinion and is indicative of the good job Administration and Finance does with the finance and accounting of the City. Mr. Mayor presented a PowerPoint presentation detailing the audit information. Mayor stated the City has receive its Certificate of Financial Achievement for the third year in a row. The Certificate of Achievement is good for just one year at a time. He stated the City will again be submitting the Annual Financial Report and he is confident the City will continue this recognition. Mr. Mayor gave strong praise for City Administrator Kruse and Finance Director Lannes and staff for their diligent work maintaining a transparent set of financial statements. Mr. Mayor said that staff has done a nice job with segregation of duties with a small staff. Following the presentation, Mr. Mayor asked if the Council had any questions and there were none. OPEN FORUM Mayor Meehan said he will open the meeting up for open forum. Knowing that a number of people in the audience were thereto speak on City Administrator Kruse's behalf, he said anyone that wanted to speak could speak now, but the public would not be able to speak during Kruse's performance review. Former Mayor Ron Klecker came forward and said he did not want to speak now, but would like to speak later in the meeting. Mayor Meehan said he must speak now and that he would not be allowing public comment later. Former Mayor Klecker said this is unusual and restated his wish to speak later. Klecker said he does not know the exact nature of the performance review, but has heard rumors that he was asked to resign and he was there to speak on City Administrator Kruse's behalf. MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 3 of 10 Klecker went on to say what a good job City Administrator Kruse has done over the past eight years. Klecker stated that when he came in 2003, the City finances were in disarray. He said that Kruse collected $950,000 in unpaid developer billings that were about to go stale and be uncollectable because of the statute of limitations. Klecker credited Kruse for construction of the new City Hall and Public Works Facility. He said Kruse was instrumental in development of Winter Park and many other projects. Mayor Klecker credited City Administrator Kruse for getting $5,667,000 in State Grant Funds and $1,644,000 of Wright County funds for the I-94 project currently under construction. Klecker stated that if it wasn't for City Administrator Kruse this project would not be happening. Klecker said Kruse was very instrumental working with other neighboring communities and cited the joint Albertville, St. Michael and Hanover Senior Center and Library as an example. Klecker said that he was on the Council for eight years, four of which he was Mayor. He served on the City Council back in his home town. Klecker stated he has worked with four different Managers and that Larry Kruse is the top of the heap and we are lucky to have him. Council member Sorensen objected and said that the City always lets people speak when subjects are presented. Sorensen stated he has been on the Council for three and a half years and never during this time, has the Council prevented the public from giving input. Mayor Meehan said he was chairing the meeting and that was his call. CMs Sorensen/Wager moved to allow public comment later in the meeting during City Administrator Kruse's performance review. Mayor Meehan called for a vote and the motion failed. Former Council Member Tom Fay approached the Council and said he too supports the good job City Administrator Larry Kruse has done. Fay said that when Kruse took office in 2004, the City was in a real mess. Fay said that Kruse uncovered $1,0285,000 in delinquent Developers billings which had not been collected for almost ten years. Fay said when he learned about the problem he thought the money was uncollectable, but City Administrator Kruse went after it and of the $1,0285,000 of delinquent bills, Kruse recovered $953,333. Fay said that if you divide this money by the eight years that Kruse has been here, it would cover his entire wage. Fay said the he has worked with Kruse almost seven years and thinks he has done an outstanding job. He credited the current $11,000,000 construction of Interstate I-94 to Kruse's hard work and ability to raise money. Fay said that Kruse raised $800,000 from the Federal Government, $5,440,000 of State money and $1,644,000 of Wright County money. Fay concluded that if there are any reasons for Kruse to be dismissed, I hope they are over $9,000,000.

Dixon stated he has been very pleased with his dealing with City Staff. James Gillach asked to speak for a moment on procedural rules. He said that he works for MNDot and they have a high standard of being open and transparent. Gillach stated he has a concern about limiting public comments. Gillach expressed concerns about not allowing public comment and dismissing City Administrator Kruse. He said that he has had limited dealings with City Administrator Kruse, but he has been Jonny on the Spot to assist me.

CMs Vetsch/Wagner motioned to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Jessica Weishar Memorial City Administrator Kruse invited Fire Chief Tate Mills forward to present a request. Mills said it's been four years since the April 5th bus accident and the family and some Volunteer Fire Department members have been maintaining a small memorial at the site of the I-94 bus accident where Jessica Weishar died. Mills said the I-94 project may temporarily disturb the current site. One idea is to create a trail around the holding pond and a pad for a memorial bench overlooking Hunter's Lake. The pond will have a berm around the perimeter to accommodate future maintenance and the cost to upgrade this to a trail would be minimal. It is likely that the Fire Department would secure funds for a memorial bench overlooking the lake. This effort may compliment the idea of an off -road trail around this part of the Hunter's Lake. City Administrator Kruse told a story about driving home for noon lunch and as he crossed I-94 called Fire Chief Mills to say the I-94 Project will disturb Jessica's memorial site. Kruse asked Mills to call Jessica's parents and inform them of the need to respectfully remove the memorial. After lunch, Kruse said upon driving back to work, he passed the site and Mr. and Mrs. Weishar were at the memorial site sprucing it up. Kruse said how ironic it was to be thinking about this and then 30 minutes later the parents are there in honor of the four year anniversary. Kruse introduced himself to the Weishars and told them about what had just happened. Kruse gave them each a hug and then called Chief Mills to tell him about the coincidence saying the spirits are in the air. As Mills and Kruse visited, the concept of a memorial bench was conceived. CM's Wagner/Hendrickson moved to authorize PW Director/City Engineer Nafstad to develop one or two concepts for a memorial bench location in the Hunter's Lake neighborhood. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARINGS Parkside Commercial Planned Unit Development Amendment M:Tublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc 5 City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 6 of 10 Mayor Meehan called the Public Hearing to order for the Parkside Commercial Planned Unit Development Amendment. City Planner Alan Brixius reviewed the request from Parkside Commercial Center to increase the public assembly from 1,500 square feet to 2,500 square feet. The Council is asked to consider Adoption of Ordinance No. 2012-24 Amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Albertville, Relating to the Property at Parkside Commercial Center, Located West of CSAH 19 and North of 57th Street Northeast to increase the assembly use floor area not to exceed 2,500 square feet. Brixius stated the amount of other non -assembly tenant finish has increased substantially, and the modest increase in public assembly for church purposes is reasonable. The Mayor opened the floor up for comments and none were received. Mayor Meehan closed the public hearing. CMs Hendrickson/Wagner motioned to approve Adoption of Ordinance No. 2012-24 Amending the Official Zoning Map of the City of Albertville, Relating to the Property at Parkside Commercial Center, Located West of CSAH 19 and North of 57th Street Northeast to increase the assembly use floor area not to exceed 2,500 square feet as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Neighbor's Eatery Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Mayor Meehan called the Public Hearing to order for the Neighbor's Eatery Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Outdoor Dining and Off -site parking. City Planner Alan Brixius explained that normally this application and public hearing is presented at Planning Commission and they make a recommendation to the City Council. To expedite the process, staff presented this to the Planning Commission for their input and is holding the required Public Hearing at the City Council meeting. The Council is being asked to consider adoption of Resolution No. 2012-021 entitled a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Outdoor Dining and Off -site Parking for Neighbor's Eatery and Saloon Located at 5772 Main Avenue NE Within the City of Albertville. Brixius reviewed the Planner's report and said that this application has been presented to the Planning Commission and their thoughts and concerns are included in the material. Joe Holtz, owner of Neighbor's Eatery, explained his outdoor dining concept and parking lot improvement as per the information provided by the City Planner. MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 7 of 10 Albertville resident Tom Fay stated he had a concern about the noise and loss of parking. Fay wanted to know how he was going to handle conflicts with the church events using the same parking lot. Holtz said it is working okay now. Curt Neidermeyer (neighbor) submitted a letter with his concern. He said the current owner has been good to work with. He does have concerns about the elevation of the rear deck and that he will lose privacy in his rear yard. Also wanted to limit hours in the evening as CMs Hendrickson/Wagner motioned to approve Adoption of Neighbor's Eatery Conditional Use Permit (CUP) — consider adoption of Resolution No. 2012-021 entitled a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for Accessory Outdoor Dining and Off -site Parking for Neighbor's Eatery and Saloon Located at 5772 Main Avenue NE within the City of Albertville as presented. Motion carried with CM Vetsch voting nay. Fraser Steel Tax Increment Financing City Administrator Kruse stated that in June of 2007, the City approved a Tax Increment Financing Plan to assist Fraser Steel in a 25,000 square foot building expansion as per the attached TIF 13 Document. Fraser then purchased a newly developed industrial lot adjoining their current site. Following adoption of the TIF plan, Fraser Steel put the project on hold when the United States economy slowed and entered a severe recession. On February 28, 2012, the City hosted a meeting of the Industrial Park owners who said very positive things about the recovering economy and some seemed poised to expand. On Wednesday, April 12, 2012, Baxter Stevenson Manager of Fraser Steel called to confirm their interest to continue with the previously planned project. Staff would like to work with a TIF consultant to identify an incentive that will enable them to proceed. This could include decertifying the current TIF district, as the TIF benefits lost in interceding years may be gone. By decertifying and creating a new TIF project, Fraser may then capture the full nine year benefit of the economic development district. Without TIF assistance, it is doubtful the project can proceed. CM's Vetsch/Sorensen moved to authorize staff to work with Northland Securities on an hourly basis to identify Tax Increment Financing incentives for Fraser Steel's 25,000 square foot plant expansion with the City fronting eligible TIF consulting costs not to exceed $10,000.00. Motion carried unanimously. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS CITY COUNCIL City Administrator Performance Review MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 8 of 10 Mayor Meehan stated the purpose of this discussion is to review City Administrator Kruse's performance. Meehan stated he was going to make a few comments and then give each Council member an opportunity to comment and then direct comments to Mr. Kruse. City Attorney Couri advised the Council that it is the employee's call, under the Minnesota Data Privacy Act a performance review is automatically a closed meeting unless the employee wants it to be open. Couri stated at this time to ask Mr. Kruse if he wants an open or closed meeting. Administrator Kruse stated that he believes in open and transparent government and requests an open meeting. Meehan asked City Attorney Couri to explain for the press the Council's ability to discuss outside of a meeting an employee's performance. Couri stated under the Minnesota Data Privacy Act the City Council can't discuss an employee's performance. If it were to be a closed meeting, the Council would report a summary following that closed meeting. If an employee requests an open meeting, then everything is public. Couri gave one caution stating if there were any allegations of breaking a law or violating a City Policy that would be a disciplinary issue and would require a closed meeting. Meehan turned to Council Member Wagner to comment on Kruse's performance. Wagner stated he was totally in the dark about what is going on and did not understand the reason to review Kruse's performance at this time. Mayor Meehan said he would start with his comments. He said this goes back to the first meeting of his term when he had to vote on adoption of an electrical franchise fee. The previous Council had held the vote over from the previous year and Meehan felt Kruse mislead him on the franchise fee and it's affect on the levy. Meehan stated rumors of the performance review began to spread via the St. Michael Patch. Meehan received calls in support of City Administrator Kruse. He said the article in the Patch was inaccurate. Meehan claimed there was a lot of misrepresentation in the Patch article and that he felt intimated by the article. Meehan's concerns about Kruse include a number of people have contacted him and said that he is not responsive to calls, is not responsive to complaints and lacks skills to close on economic development deals. Meehan said there have been businesses, residents and staff that fear retribution. Meehan also said Kruse lacks the economic development experience needed. Meehan turned the floor over to Council Member Dan Wagner. Wagner stated that he has not had any complaints about Kruse. If there were complaints they should have been addressed as they came up. Wagner said that he is unaware of any complaints or displeasure with Kruse's performance. Wagner stated he supports the City Administrator and his experience with City Administrator Kruse for the past three plus years has been nothing but positive. Wagner said what is happening is unfair. Council member Hendrickson had compiled an anonymous list of complaints from businesses, residents and officials from other cities compiled over the last couple months. Hendrickson's list MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 04 16 2012 (draft).doc City of Albertville City Council Minutes April 16, 2012 Page 9 of 10 detailed lack of timely response, lengthy processing times for applications, claims that employees and businesses could not come forward because of fear of retribution and in general she lacked trust in the City Administrator. She also felt she did not have good information at her first meeting where she had to vote on the electric franchise fee. Council Member John Vetsch stated that Kruse has had a lack of economic development performance this past year. What economic development that has occurred was not influenced by Kruse. Vetsch also was critical about the way the complaint about farm animals in the City was handled. Council Member Sorensen expressed shock when he heard about these allegations and the Mayor's request for his resignation. He stated his experience with Kruse has been nothing but positive for the past three plus years. Sorensen read the December 19, 2011 City Council annual performance evaluation meeting minutes which stated Kruse received a very positive review via a 360 degree evaluation involving 22 surveys. Sorensen read that four of the City Council members gave a very positive review with the exception of Vetsch who complained about the lack of economic development during the past year. Sorensen asked what has changed in the last four months. Sorensen stated he can't understand any reasons for the review. CM's Hendrickson/Vetsch motioned to terminate the City Administrator's contract as the City Council wants to go in a new direction with management of the City. Mayor Meehan and Council members Hendrickson and Vetsch voted aye and Council members Sorensen and Wagner nay. Motion carried. FINANCE DEPARTMENT Resolution Awarding the Sale of General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan Refunding Bonds, Series 2012B Fixing their Form and Specifications Directing Their Execution and Delivery and Providing for Their Payment. Tammy Omdal of Northland Securities presented the Council with the results of the sale of the 2012B Refunding. Omdal reported a net savings of $202,227, which is slightly more than originally projected. Omdal said over the course of the last year, the City has saved over $500,000 by refinancing debt issues.

ADMINISTRATION City Administrator Kruse suggested that the Council should think about their plans to replace him and that they will need to appoint a City Clerk. Following up on Kruse's comment, City Attorney Couri suggested appointing a City Clerk as there will be a need to have an official signer for documents. He also mentioned that they will need to think about a process for replacing the City Administrator. CM's Hendrickson/Vetsch moved to set a special meeting at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 25th to appoint a City Administrator and City Clerk. Motion carried unanimously.

ABSENT: Board members Mark Meehan and Larry Sorensen BOARD OF REVIEW Presentation by the Wright County Assessor(s) Wright County Assessor Peterson began by explaining the purpose of Local Board of Review and Equalization is to review the assessment of property. This Local Board of Review and Equalization is being held for the 2012 assessment for taxes due and payable in 2013. The Board does not have the authority to change any prior year's assessments. The Local Board does not have the authority to grant an exemption or to order property to be removed from the tax rolls. A quorum must be present and at least one of the members must be `Training Certified' under Minnesota State Statutes Section 274.014. Peterson acknowledged that there are two (2) members that have completed the training and are certified. State law requires the assessor to be at 100% of market value; however, the Statutes allow the Assessor to be within a range of 90 to 105 percent of market value. The sales ratio study time frame is from October 1, 2010 thru September 30, 2011. The sales date gathered from this ratio period is used to appraise property as of the January 2, 2012 assessment date. The formula for calculating `Green Acre' taxable value is statutorily determined by the Department of Revenue as required by the 2008 legislative changes. The current assessment meets or exceeds standards for uniform assessment in all jurisdictions established by the International Association of Assessment Officers. Peterson reported there were 30 qualified sales during the period of October 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011. The median sales ratio is 109.61%, with the median sale price of $136,300. Peterson continued with the unqualified or foreclosure/bank sales in the quantity of 56. The median sales ratio for the unqualified sales is 127.69% and the median sale price was $139,900. Assessor reported that after review and analysis, market based reductions were made on most 11 City of Albertville Board of Review Minutes April 18, 2012 Page 2 of 3 properties throughout Albertville. The final sales ratio came in at 101.41%. The State of Minnesota requires this ratio (estimated market value/sale price) to be between 90-105%. Peterson stated there are currently six (6) qualified sales to be used for 2013 valuations. Those sales have a ratio of 90.65% with a median sale price of $167,900. County Assessor Rasmussen gave a report on the Commercial properties acknowledging the fact that there is a definite sign of economic times with a fair amount of empty buildings. Wright County focused on vacant and or empty land throughout the County, which staff had a tight range to work with. It was a challenge to factor in the cost associated for the commercial sales in arriving at a fair market value for the shell of a building that is sitting empty or unfinished. The Assessor's Department realizes that commercial owners have been doing everything possible to keep the business going, in which some have even gone to more of a Contract for Deed. Rasmussen reported that there is still a decline in the market and with the drop in residential values there might be a shift to commercial, industrial and agriculture. Board member Hendrickson asked how Wright County is doing compared to other metro counties. Rasmussen reported that with fuel costs and foreclosures that the metro counties are starting to turn faster, but slowly Wright County will get better once the supply declines. The foreclosure has hit the commercial market. Rental rates for properties also declined due to the market where it is ranging from $18-$22 per square foot, which is a large decrease from the boom time. Some of the issues commercial properties face now are financing and the economy. Peterson reported there was one (1) Albertville property owner that contacted Wright County, and presented a letter sent by the property owner to the board. The letter was a request to review the values placed on parcels 101-500-364301, 364302 and 364311. These parcels are the Old Albertville Creamery located on Large Avenue NE within Albertville. County Assessor Rasmussen confirmed that the land that the billboard is constructed on is being valued at fair market price. Rasmussen took the billboard and compared it to other billboards within Wright County located on the I-94 corridor. The land has a billboard and that is taken into account with the calculation assuming the property owner is taking in or receiving revenue from the billboard company; therefore, rental of the land. Rasmussen stated the value is based on the land and it's best use and he feels it is a fair value. With that comment, the Board made the following motion: Board Members WagnerNetsch motioned not to make changes in the values for parcels 101- 500-364301, 364302 and 364311. Motion carried.

Don Peterson, 11252 53rd Street NE, Albertville, MN. Don spoke saying he was not present last week during the Council meeting and was embarrassed by the City's actions. He continued to say that he was the Mayor when Larry was hired and felt that he had brought a lot to the City of Albertville. Without Larry there would be no City Hall, No I-94 Grants, No CSAH 19 Project, No Public Works Facility, No Expansion to the Wastewater Treatment Facility and not the increase in working together with the County and community. That all started with Larry. Mr. Peterson continued to mention that he has been getting so many calls from people even outside of Albertville, such as St. Michael asking what is going on, why was the City Administrator fired after having a great review four months prior. The comments focused on how they thought about it with most of them being embarrassed. Mr. Peterson mentioned that the public still does not know what he did and the citizens are not happy and embarrassed, about what has happened. He continued to mention that Council sets the ordinances and the City Administrator enforces them. Mr. Peterson ended by mentioning that they better hire a consultant to help find a replacement and said "Good Luck, you will not find a City Administrator like Larry". Council Member Vetsch, Hendrickson and Mayor Meehan responded to Mr. Peterson's comments by referring to items discussed at the April 16, 2012 meeting.

The specified dates and times of operation are: Friday, June 8, 2012 running from 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.; Saturday, June 9, 2012 running from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; and, Sunday, June 10, 2012 running from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. BACKGROUND: This is the first three (3) applications that have been submitted by the Knights of Columbus Council No. 4174 this year. The Acting City Clerk has prepared a recommendation for the Mayor and City Council to review and approval the 3.2% Malt Liquor Licenses at a regular meeting. At such time the Council may ask questions regarding the liquor license applications that have been submitted to the City. These liquor licenses are for an annual City celebration that allows the non-profit organization to be in Central -City Park past the normal park hours of 10:00 p.m., which would allow 3.2% malt beverages to be sold, served, and consumed after 10:00 p.m. KEY ISSUES: • The Knights of Columbus has submitted the applications for three (3) One -day 3.2% Malt Liquor Licenses with dates that coincide with the annual city celebration of Friendly City Days over the last number of years. • These are the first One -Day 3.2% Malt Liquor License applications that the Knights of Columbus Council No. 4174 has submitted for the 2012 calendar year. • Council has the option to either approve or deny any One -Day 3.2% Malt Liquor License applications that have been submitted to the City. • According to the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code, Central -City Park closes at 10:00 p.m. every day with the exception of the annual city celebration of Friendly City Days event. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is minimal financial revenue collected from the applicant for liquor licensing. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to review and direct staff to take action regarding all liquor licenses and gambling permit applications received by the City of Albertville.

BACKGROUND: According to the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code, Annual Liquor License(s) run April 15 to April 14. D's Family Pizza LLC currently has an approved On -Sale 3.2% Malt Liquor License and wants to have the ability to serve wine and strong beer. The Minnesota State Statute 340.A states the combination of an On -Sale Wine and an On -Sale 3.2% Malt Liquor License allows the establishment to sell strong beer. KEY ISSUES: Approve the new 2012-2013 On -Sale Wine Liquor License to D's Family Pizza LLC doing business as D's Family Pizza that has been submitted to the Acting City Clerk provided the establishments will abide by the rules and restrictions set by the City, County, and State. Staff doesn't feel there is a need to conduct a Background Check as there have been no concerns or problems reported within the last years since the establishment obtained a 3.2% Malt Liquor License. Acting City Clerk will inform the Wright County Human Services Department upon issuance of the License to include the establishment in an Alcohol Sales Training course. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and City Council's policy to review and approve liquor license applications to sell liquor at various business establishments within the Albertville city limits. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City collects a Liquor License fee that varies depending upon the type of license applied for (ie.: On -Sale Intoxicating $3,300; Special Sunday $220; Off -Sale Intoxicating $150; $100 On -Sale 3.2% Malt Beverage). Denial of a license will affect the financial revenue for fees collected from the applicant for liquor licensing. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to review, approve or deny; then direct staff to take action regarding any or all liquor license applications received by the City of Albertville.

May 2, 2012 SUBJECT: Fraser Steel Tax Increment Financing District RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider passing the following: MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2012-025 entitled a Resolution Decertifying Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment District No. 13 of the City of Albertville. MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2012-026 entitled Calling for Public Hearing on the Proposed Modification of Development District No. 1 and the Proposed establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 14 within the Development District No. 1 and the proposed adoption of a Tax Increment Financing Plan relating thereto on June 18, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. BACKGROUND: In June of 2007, the City approved a Tax Increment Financing Plan to assist Fraser Steel in a 25,000 square foot building expansion as per the attached TIF 13 Document. Fraser then purchased a newly developed industrial lot adjoining their current site. Following adoption of the TIF plan, Fraser Steel put the project on hold when the United States economy slowed and entered a severe recession. On February 28, 2012, the City hosted a meeting of the Industrial Park owners who said very positive things about the recovering economy and some seemed poised to expand. On Wednesday, April 12, 2012, Baxter Stevenson, Manager of Fraser Steel, called to confirm their interest to continue with the previously planned project. Staff met with the authorized TIF consultant and Baxter to identify an incentive that will enable them to proceed. It was determined to decertify the current TIF district, as the TIF benefits lost in interceding years may be gone and then create anew TIF project. By decertifying the current TIF district and creating a new one, Fraser may then capture the full nine year benefit of the economic development district. Without TIF assistance, it is doubtful the project can proceed. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The estimated cost to process the TIF district should not exceed $10,000 and this is an eligible TIF expense. Should the City invest in this TIF plan and the project not proceed, then the cost of this work would be borne by the City. LEGAL ISSUES: The City Council has the authority to contract with consultants to identify TIF options.

The City has requested that Northland coordinate with Kennedy & Graven the drafting of a development agreement with Fraser Steel for providing tax increment assistance for the proposed development project. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the City with key dates and the proposed process. Preliminary Dates May 7 Council to consider approval of resolution to decertify TIF District No. 13. Council to call for public hearing for modification of Development District No. 1 and establishment of TIF District No. 14 and business subsidy (draft resolution attached). May 18 Northland to submit draft TIF plan to Wright County and School District No. 885. June TBD* City to submit public hearing notice to the newspaper for TIF District No. 14 to allow for publication no sooner than May 18 and no later than June 8.

Council action to decertify by resolution (proposed resolution attached). 2. Inform Wright County of decertification. 3. Determine amount of excess tax increment. 4. Send excess tax increment to Wright County for redistribution. 5. Complete and send confirmation of decertified TIF district form (copy attached) to the County and then to Office of the State Auditor. Establish TIF District No. 14 Northland will prepare a draft plan for establishing TIF District No. 14. The plan will be largely based on the previously established plan for TIF District No. 13. This will include preparing a tax increment cash flow projection, along with other required financial information for the plan. Developer Request for Financial Assistance The Developer, Fraser Steel, is requesting that the City reimburse the Developer for up to a preliminary estimate of $350,000 of the costs of certain site improvements actually incurred and paid by the Developer. (This is a preliminary figure that is subject to change once the Developer provides updated cost estimates.) The preliminary cost estimate includes site work costs and the future special assessments outstanding and due to the City for previously constructed public improvements. The request for reimbursement of the site improvement costs and other qualifying costs would be through the issuance of a TIF Note. Payment on the Note would be subject to the availability of tax increment revenue (referred to as "pay -go") and would not represent a liability of the City. Payment on the Note would end February 1, 2023. Options for Providing Financial Assistance The proposed project qualifies for an Economic Development TIF District under Section 469.174, Subd.12 of the TIF Act because the proposed tax increment assistance will discourage commerce, industry and manufacturing from moving their operations from the City; will result in increased employment within the State; and will result in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the State. Evaluation of the Request for Financial Assistance Northland will complete an analysis of financial information the Developer has agreed to submit to the City for the purpose of evaluating the request for public financial assistance.

Date: May 7, 2012 Mayor and Council Communication To: City Administrator/City Council From: Timothy Guimont Re: Monthly Report STREETS Adam and I will be going over the street overlay and seal coat project soon. We will start patching on our own once we can get asphalt. PARKS The Parks Committee would like to put the skate park equipment back in its original spot off of Lander Avenue NE. The skate boarders didn't like the rough surface of the hockey rink. The skate park turned into a bike park which I feel the equipment was not meant for. If this does not work we would like to turn the concrete slab into a new basketball court. We have been aerating and fertilizing the parks and we will begin spraying weeds soon. As a reminder we have our Explore Your Parks Night on May 181h from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. The Mayor has volunteered to be at Villas Park. If there is anyone else that would like a location let me know.

The first stage of the project consists of widening the inside mainline -shoulder, construction of traffic control measures, clearing and grubbing, as well as, installation of erosion and sediment control measures. During the first stage of construction, west bound traffic will be restricted to one -lane during evening hours (generally 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM) and the majority of the work thru May 11 will occur during these hours. During the week of May 7 median barriers will be installed and the traffic will be shifted to the inside shoulder. Once all the necessary traffic control measures are in place, daytime construction activities will commence with mass grading in preparation for the wall, as well as, removal items throughout the project corridor. The exact date of the detour posting for the NE CSAH 37 ramp has yet to be determined, but is expected to occur in mid -May. The City facility at 5964 Main Avenue NE is being utilized as the project office for the project administration team, which will reduce the overall project costs and provide some tax savings. If at any time you would like a project update, please call. I will be at the May 7, 2012 City Council meeting to discuss project progress and address any questions/concerns you may have.

May 2, 2012 SUBJECT: Engineering — I-94 WB C-D Road / Signal System Color Schemes DISCUSSION ITEM: This space on the agenda is reserved for the City Council to consider and discuss paint/color schemes of the two (2) signal systems included as part of the I94 WB C-D Road project. INFORMATION: The City currently has five traffic control signal systems and soon will add a 6th at the new ramp terminal onto CSAH 19. With the exception of the signal system at the intersection of CSAH 19 and 18, all signal systems are the traditional yellow standard, green base, and aluminum colored mast arm. The new system at CSAH 19 and 18 has a painted black standard and base, and aluminum colored mast arm and light pole. As part of the I-94 WB C-D Road project, a new signal system will be added and the existing signal at the CSAH 37 freeway ramps will be painted. Staff would like to discuss color options and seek Council direction as to the desired color of these two signals, which would presumably be integrated into the City's other systems. KEY ISSUES: • Maintenance, including painting/re-painting of all signals within Albertville is the City's responsibility. • A preferred color scheme for the new and existing signal systems needs to be decided. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At this time there is no cost associated with selecting color options for the I-94 WB C-D Road signal systems.
