Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 7. Public Hearings - None 8. Department Business A. City Clerk 1). Liquor Compliance Violations Clerk Olson reported Wright County conducted liquor compliance checks on May 22, 2013 to check for sales to underage minors. All establishments passed except for Hong Thai, Inc. and Neighbors Eatery and Saloon. Staff sent out notification letters and invoices to those two establishments. She stated that in 2005 guidelines were established for Council to use in dealing with violations, but Council is not bound by them. Council may choose to waive the fines, impose stricter fines than those outlined in the guidelines, or refer to criminal prosecution and fines. Hong Thai, Inc. has paid the fine. Staff was informed that a representative of Neighbors Eatery and Saloon would be present at the meeting to speak to Council, but was not present at the meeting. Vetsch inquired if there is training available for the establishments and Clerk Olson replied that Wright County holds training several times a year and sends a notice to all licensed establishments about the training. There have been no violations since 2010. Sorensen inquired if there was a fine from the County given to the establishments with violations. Couri replied that the County may fine the server, but any fines to the establishments are dealt with by the City through a civil fine. No fines were waived with past violations, although some establishments were required to purchase scanning devices for identification in lieu of a fine. Hendrickson was concerned that waiving a fine would appear that the City is okay with underage drinking and it would set precedence to waive fines for future violations. Hendrickson asked why this couldn't be fined by Wright County instead of the City and Couri replied that it is the licensing authority that must impose the fine. The City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 Regular Meeting of June 17, 2013 Agenda Page 5 County would have no authority to shut down an establishment, if it came to that, because the City is the authority that may revoke or suspend a license. Nafstad relayed the explanation given by Neighbors Eatery and Saloon for how the sale occurred as well as the training employees receive and the reward they receive for passing a compliance check. Wagner felt they had a good track record as they have been in business for three years and had not received a violation before. Nafstad stated they are working towards compliance. B. City Council 1). Committee Updates Planning Commission Brixius reported the Commission recommended approval of the ordinance prohibiting coal -tar sealants. Several inquiries were made on the Leander property for different uses that did not meet zoning requirements. The City has also been approached by a church looking for a site approximately five acres in size to build and staff recommended several sites to them. However, the zoning would need to be changed to Public Institutional for whatever site they would choose. 2). Washington D.C. Congressional Visit Update Hendrickson reported they met Representative Bachman, Senator Klobuchar and staff for Representative Fitzsimmons and Senator Franken. They discussed needs regarding I-94 and working with MnDot and the Governor to receive Federal funding. She stated the lobbyist hired by the City of St. Michael was instrumental on the trip. Hendrickson was appreciative of St. Michael allowing them on the trip and Sorensen thanked both Hendrickson and Olson for going. C. Public Works/Engineering 1). Marlowe Avenue NE Gravel and Grade Nafstad reported he received one quote for the work from Fehn Companies, Inc. He stated that he cannot justify paving the road. It is a good investment to gravel and grade the road and it will last several years. Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the quote from Fehn Companies, Inc. to place and grade Aggregate Base on Marlowe Avenue NE, between 5e Street NE and the railroad tracks for an estimated cost of $11, 667. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. D. Finance -None E. Planning / Zoning - None F. Building -None G. Legal -None City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of June 17, 2013 Agenda Page 6 H. Administration 1). Fire Inspections Compensation Nafstad reported there are three Fire Officers that conduct inspections for the fire inspection program. The Fire Chief credits the program for the reduction in the number of fire calls in recent years. Staff is recommending an adjustment in hourly pay from $12 to $17. He stated this is still less than surrounding communities who utilize full-time city employees. Sorensen indicated the contract with Otsego will increase the number of inspections. Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to adjust the 2013 fire inspection pay rate to $17.00 per hour. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2). City Administrator's Update Nafstad reported that staff was contacted by CGI, Inc. regarding a cost free Community Showcase Program that would produce two to three short video clips about the community on topics of the City's choosing. It would be a three year agreement to display the video clips on the website and allow them to contact Albertville businesses promoting their advertising opportunities on Albertville letterhead. Court noted the City will have no veto power on what is included in the video clips, but many other cities have already participated and it would not be in CGI, Inc.'s best interest to promote negative content. Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Hendrickson, to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with CGI, Inc. to participate in the Community Video Program. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Nafstad reported he is working with general contractors to see if architectural services are needed for renovation of the 5964 Main Avenue NE (Old Public Works) building for the lease agreement with the Soccer Club. Nafstad reported the STMA Arena Board discussed the leaking roof and safety issues. He stated the STMA School District and City of St. Michael have been notified of the issues. Youth Hockey requested use of the vacant lot for an outdoor rink. Several things to consider would be insurance, water access, rink access, signage and lighting. Nafstad reported that the Fire Department and others worked on Memorial Park over the weekend and it is coming along nicely. Hendrickson would like to see an article regarding Memorial Park in the next newsletter. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of June 17, 2013 Agenda Page 7 Brixius reported that Federated Co-op has made application to expand their operations which will need PUD rezoning and establishment of a new district to accommodate their expansion. 9. Announcements and/or Upcoming Meetings Vetsch asked staff to coordinate with the City of St. Michael on recognitions of athletic teams for outstanding achievements. He wanted to make sure that teams would be recognized by both cities and he wanted all teams to be recognized fairly.

As you may be aware, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is in the process of finalizing an update to their Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP). "MnSHIP" sets a new financially constrained 20 year vision for transportation investment in Minnesota that focuses primarily on system preservation, with limited major highway expansion in the Twin Cities Region. MnSHIP, as currently proposed, includes zero major expansion for Interstate 94 or other highways in Greater Minnesota. With newly appointed MnDOT Commissioner Charlie Zelle recently given the green light from Governor Dayton to make the case for increased transportation funding during the upcoming 2014 Legislative Session and the new MnSHIP year 2033 vision due to the Legislature this fall, the timing is right to make a final push for including expansion of I-94 in this new Plan. As you know, the I-94 West Corridor is a huge economic engine for cities and counties in Central and Western Minnesota and also the Twin Cities Region. In fact, as an international truck freight corridor, I-94 is one of the highest tonnage and value truck corridors in Minnesota, and has been recognized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as a freight corridor that will be "highly congested" by the year 2040 from the Twin Cities all the way to North Dakota. The existing federal transportation authorization bill, MAP-21, requires States to address freight bottlenecks such as I-94 using a performance based planning and investment approach. Many existing and previous MnDOT plans have identified performance based expansion needs along I-94 to address freight, congestion and safety problems between the Twin Cities and St. Cloud. I-94 is also critically important to the Minnesota tourism industry, transporting 1.85 million visitor trips annually to the Alexandria and Brainerd Lakes Regions. Given these startling and concerning facts, on behalf of the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization (APO) Board, I am requesting your community's support in respectfully requesting Commissioner Zelle to include Interstate 94 expansion from the Twin Cities to St. Cloud in the new Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP). Please consider adopting the attached resolution and submitting it to Commissioner Zelle no later than July 15th to join the APO in this important message M:ACity Council\Council Packet information\2013\070113\Support for I-94 Expansion (RCA).docx Meeting Date: July 1, 2013 enda Page 12 Mayor and Council Request for Action — June 27, 2013 Resolution of Support for I-94 Expansion Page 2 of 2 FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: This ordinance does not impact the City's revenues or expenses.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED; the (Jurisdiction) does hereby request the Minnesota Department of Transportation to specifically include the I-94 West Corridor from Rogers to St. Cloud as an unmet performance based need for major capacity expansion in its year 2033 Minnesota State Highway Investment Plan (MnSHIP). Kimberly A. Olson, City Clerk mm Jillian l lendrickson, Mayor Um Agenda Page 15 Memo To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council From: Mike Couri Date: June 24, 2013 Re: Attorney Report Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City. I-94 Assessment. The settlement agreement is being sent to Austria for Mr. Knechtl's signature. Once he has signed it, I will place a resolution on the Council's agenda which will reduce the assessment to $67,500 and defer the payments for five years. • I-94 Ramp Easement. The State is asking the City to obtain I-94 ramp easement from Albertville Marketplace using a revised legal description as the State wants clearer language in the deed from the City to the State for the ramp easement. The easement area remains unchanged —the State simply wants its specific language used in the easement document. Pond Property Purchase. John Darkenwald is not yet ready to meet to discuss the terms of a sale/use of the recently -appraised City lot behind the outlet mall. • Charter Cable/Televising of Council Meetings. Charter has identified the person who will be able to answer my questions, but she has not contacted me yet. I am trying to get her contact information from Charter. • CSAH 18 Trail Easements. Easements for the trail have been prepared and sent to Adam. I believe Adam has obtained signatures on all needed easements. Page 1 of 2 Agenda Page 16 • Development Issues. We have met with the new owners of Hunter's Pass phase two regarding the future platting of phase 2 of the subdivision and met with Northwest Bible Church regarding potential locations for a church building. • Senior Housing. The single parcel owned by Guardian Angels has been split into three lots, which will allow the TIF process to begin. The Developer is submitting its development application which will come before the Planning Commission in July and the City Council in August. We are beginning to work on the developer's agreement for the project. Page 2 of 2 Agenda Page 17 Albertville Sma1N 'fi*�Gwri 6Mving. Big e:n,wr LMFa. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION City Administrator's Update June 27, 2013 5964 Main Avenue NE Lease: Staff is working towards having quotes for Council consideration by the 2nd meeting in July. June 23 Rain Event: As you are aware, this past weekend much of NE Wright County, including Albertville, received considerable rainfall, with local reports ranging from 3 to 4 inches over an estimated 2 to 4 hour time period. This amount of rain over such a short duration, coupled by the highly saturated soil conditions, produced flash flooding and resulted in localized street flooding and overtopping of several rear yard sediment ponds. The intersection of Barthel Industrial Drive and 541" Street NE experienced the greatest degree of flooding with water depths estimated to be approximately 2-feet at the intersection. It is believed that approximately 6 or 7 homes were damaged due to the intersection flooding. Wet basements, due to sump pump failure or ground water infiltration, have been reported throughout the city. I did submit a liability claim to the League to determine if the City is liable for the flooding at the intersection and am waiting to hear back from the adjuster. Guardian Angels: Guardian Angels has requested conduit financing from both the City of Otsego and the City of Albertville. It is our understanding that Guardian Angels will be looking to the City of Otsego for conduit for the Albertville Housing Improvement and to the City of Albertville for refinancing of operations in Elk River. This is primarily due to limited debt issuance availability through the City of Albertville. It is expected that Guardian Angels will seek these approvals from the City of Albertville at the July 15 meeting. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS Marlow Avenue NE: Fehn Companies will be re -grading and graveling Marlowe Avenue NE within the next few weeks. 2013 Street, Trails, and Utility Improvement Project: Easement acquisition is complete and a pre -construction meeting will be held the week of July 1. WB 1-94 C-D Road: When weather permits, the Contractor will be in to complete the punchlist items and final restoration of the project. CSAH 18 (50t" Street): Wright County is in the process of completing their pavement repairs to 501" Street NE. It is expected that the work will be complete in early July. As part of the project, the City of Albertville had three (3) storm drains repaired, replaced approximately 75- feet of curb, and repaired the bituminous apron/trail at Marlowe Avenue NE. The City of Albertville is responsible for the cost of these items only. Agenda Page 18
