LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION
CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS
April 18, 2016
DRAFT MINUTES
ROLL CALL
PRESENT: Board members Jillian Hendrickson, Walter Hudson, Rob Olson, Larry Sorensen,
and John Vetsch
ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: City Administrator-PWD Adam Nafstad, City Clerk Kimberly Olson,
Albertville Appraiser Wally Peterson, Senior Appraiser Tammy Anderson, Appraiser Brice
Nelson, Appraiser Melissa Janzen
Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
PRESENTATION - WRIGHT COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE
Peterson began by explaining that the purpose of the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is
to review the assessment of property. This Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is being held
for the 2016 assessment for taxes due and payable in 2017. Peterson reported taxes payable are
always based on the prior year's value, which is determined using sales data from a previous
time period, in this case it based on a study that occurred between October 1, 2014 and
September 30, 2015.
Peterson introduced Appraisers Nelson and Janzen and Senior Appraiser Anderson as the new
appraisers for the City of Albertville.
Peterson stated that Wright County is looking at conducting open book meetings for the
municipalities and townships that request them. He explained that open book meetings are an
alternative to the Local Board of Appeals and Equalization where the meetings are held with
County officials. It provides an informal setting where residents can meet with County
appointments with no appointment necessary. It also allows a longer period of time for a
resident to appeal their valuation. Peterson stated some cities are interested whereas others
prefer to maintain local control with their local board at the city level. Sorensen stated that
would take away the city's ability to lower taxes if the Council wishes to do so. Vetsch felt that
elected officials need to be aware of the market. Vetsch and Sorensen would like to keep the
Local Board of Appeals and Equalization as is. Anderson explained the timeline required to
change if the Council decided to change to open book meetings.

Peterson reported there were 130 qualified and 27 unqualified (foreclosed) residential sales. The
median price for the qualified sales was $195,667. He stated that unqualified sales
(foreclosure/bank sales) were trending down.
Peterson stated residential values increased 4.74%, commercial values increased 0.07%, and
apartment values increased 7.03%.
Peterson reported they received two requests for changes in valuation of property.
PID#101-062-004170, 10514 Karston Avenue NE
Peterson reported the homeowner had requested a reduction in value from $308,200. Peterson
stated he was able to review the home and noticed the amount of finished square footage I the
basement was incorrect. He suggested reducing the value to $290,000, a decrease of $18,200.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the reduction in value from
$308,200 to $290,000 for property at 10514 Karston Avenue NE, PID# 101-062-004170. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.
PID# 101-096-001060, 10598 49th Street NE
Peterson reported this was a blanket request for multiple rental properties in Wright County and
this is the only one in Albertville. Since the appraisers could not gain access to the home and
they did not provide accurate comparables, he recommended denial of the request.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hudson, to make no change in value for property at
10598 491h StreetNE, PID# 101-096-001060. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen,

Mayor Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
2. ROLL CALL

Present: Mayor Hendrickson and Council members Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch
Absent: None
Staff Present: City Administrator-PWD Adam Nafstad, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Planner Al
Brixius, Fire Chief Eric Bullen, and City Clerk Kimberly Olson
Others Present: Caroline Stuntsman, Ralph Munstertieger, Mike Leuer, Dave Shannon, Roger

3. RECOGNITIONS — PRESENTATIONS — INTRODUCTIONS
A. 2015 Audit Presentation by BerganIKDV
Caroline Stuntsman of BerganKDV presented the findings of the 2015 audit that was performed by
BerganKDV. She stated their job is to form an opinion on the financial statements of the City of
Albertville provided by BerganKDV management. She stated the City's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report is the highest and most transparent form of financial reporting. She stated they had
an unmodified opinion and a midlevel finding that involves the segregation of duties. She stated this
is a typical finding in many cities, especially smaller cities with limited staff.
Stuntsman stated the revenue was over the budgeted amount due to an increase in charges for
services, licenses and permits. Expenditures were under budget due to savings in department
budgets. There was a transfer of $300,000 from the general fund to capital. Minimum fund balance
should be not less than 35% of the next years budgeted expenses. The City is currently at 52% and
is within the City's policy.
Stuntsman reviewed the enterprise funds. She stated the sewer fund is not funding depreciation, but
overall is doing well. In regards to the water fund, the rates are not covering the normal operation of
the fund. She stated that within three years, the City will need to address the situation. Hendrickson
stated they had approved a base fee step increase for five years and inquired if that is still not
covering the fund. Stuntsman replied that although it is a step in the right direction and it has
Page 1
Agenda Page 6
helped, they will need to evaluate and do something further within the next few years. Hudson
inquired about how the rates are set in regards to the City's rates and the Joint Powers Water Board
rates. Nafstad replied that the rates Stuntsman is referring to are just the City's portion of the water
rates and the Joint Powers Water Board sets their own.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to approve the Communication Letter provided by
BERGANKDV. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent.
None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Olson, to approve the 2015 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
B. STMA Soccer Building Concept
Brixius reported that STMA Soccer's lease on the City's building will expire in 2019 and they are
experiencing rapid growth. STMA Soccer stated the current building will no longer meet their needs
as they continue to grow. They have been successful tenants and an attraction to downtown
Albertville. He stated that STMA Soccer is proposing a tear -down of the current building located at
5964 Main Avenue NE and construction of a two story building with two futsal fields, mudroom,
and office space. Even with added diagonal parking, they will need to continue to rely on parking
availability at City Hall. The proposal is for the new building to be a City owned building and
STMA Soccer would provide a large down payment and monthly lease installments for a 15 year
lease agreement. These payments are proposed to cover the debt and operating costs of the building
proj ect.
Roger Derham, STMA Soccer Director of Coaching, stated their current lease has been an
overwhelming success and has provided an anchor to other businesses in the area. He stated they are
already nearing their projected enrollment numbers for 2019.
Hudson inquired why STMA Soccer does not want to own the building. Derham replied that
leadership changes every two years and as such it is hard for them to take on that liability. Josh
Ohotto, STMA Soccer Vice President, stated they are not set up to own and operate a building or to
manage the construction of a building.
Hendrickson stated that she struggles with the concept, because there is also a need for an ice arena
expansion. Couri reported there are several key differences:
1. The project will fund itself overtime and the City will not be out any funds
2. The current lease is a good trial run; they have proven to be good tenants and have a good
track record
3. The ice arena expansion could not pay for itself and would take considerable City funding
Ohotto stated they have had a successful partnership and they can continue to grow the community.
Hendrickson stated that it is a perception issue among the public. Sorensen stated that it is two very
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2
Regular Meeting of April 18, 2016 Agenda Page 7
different scenarios. Sorensen and Olson would like to move forward to develop a more detailed
plan.
Hudson stated that he has reservations for several reasons:
1. Concern with a City building as a soccer facility and the building built specifically for sports
2. There is a degree of uncertainty
3. Will other non -profits approach the City for similar requests
However, he is not opposed to further investigation of a more detailed plan.
Nafstad stated that STMA Soccer will need to know in the coming months if they will stay in
Albertville or look elsewhere. Sorensen asked how long it will take to come back to Council with a
more detailed plan. Brixius stated a few months, less than six.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to direct City staff to continue to work with STMA
Soccer to develop a more detailed plan for the expansion of the STMA soccer facility at 5964
Main Avenue NE, to specifically include more accurate building design, building costs, site
preparation costs, project financing, and lease agreement. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson,
Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
C. Heuring Meadows Property — Presentation by Mike Leuer
Mike Letter stated they had studies conducted on the need for 55+ housing and it showed a need.
They are proposing a 50 unit 55+ senior apartment building on the lot. Ralph Munstertieger stated
another study showed the need for market rate apartments in the area. Their proposal for the whole
lot is two market rate apartment buildings and one 55+ senior (independent living) apartment
building on the west side of the lot with commercial space on the east side along CSAH 19. He
stated they are looking to change the zoning to B-3 rather than B-2 for the commercial portion to
accommodate a drive-thru restaurant or something similar.
Olson suggested PUD zoning for the lot and Brixius agreed that may be the best option to allow the
City to create a master plan. It would also allow the City to define uses and building standards for
the whole lot. Another zoning option would be B2-A. Brixius also suggested some landscaping to
provide a buffer from the neighboring homes.
Council discussed briefly and was not opposed to the idea.
Brixius stated that Letter and Munstertieger meet with City staff prior to submitting a development
application. Couri reminded them that an application can only be submitted if taxes are current and
Letter stated they will be paid within the week.
4. PUBLIC FORUM — (time reserved 5 minutes)
There was no one present at the forum.

8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. City Council
1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC,
etc.)
Fire Board
Sorensen stated they have had two meetings, the Advisory Committee and Fire Department meeting.
They have shared the Mall of Entertainment information with the full department.
STMA Ice Arena Board
Hudson reported they received the ice arena's audit information and also discussed a concern about
lacrosse playing in the arena without some type of turf covering. They had received a concern from
a parent. He stated that many practice areas for lacrosse are similar and do not play on turf. He
added there is also the added factor of storage and it is cost prohibitive.
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of April 18, 2016 Agenda Page 9
B. Fire
1). Fire Update
Bullen reported that a new Reserve Firefighter began on April 7, 2016 and brings very good
qualifications and skills to the department.
Bullen stated they have been working on a plan for a memorial project in front of the Fire Hall and it
would replace the current sign. They have a landscaping company that is donating and the
Albertville Lions have also donated $10,000.
Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Sorensen, to approve the final plan for the Fire Department
Memorial at the Fire Hall. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays:
None. Absent. None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
Bullen provided a recap of the grants the department has applied for.
Bullen stated staff has looked at the capital improvement plan for the Fire Department and
recommend extending the replacement of Tender 11 to 2020 rather than 2017. Staff also
recommends discontinuing and selling Rescue 11, which has mainly been used to respond to medical
calls. In return, they are looking at purchasing a Medical Response Vehicle. Nafstad stated that this
will not impact the overall CIP. Olson stated he was in support of those changes. Bullen estimated
this item could be brought back to Council in May.
Bullen reported on the shared services discussion and the key issues appeared to be voting members
and the value of equipment. Couri stated that moving forward it should be made clear that if they
move forward with the Joint Fire Service, both cities must be committed indefinitely. Sorensen
stated they may want to have a workshop with the entirety of the Albertville Council in the near
future.
Hudson excused himself from the meeting at 8:57 p.m.

quotes to replace the city identification and reader board portion of the sign with a double sided,
approximately 5' x 10', digital sign. The low quote from Color Sign Systems is $48,218 and also
includes a retrofit of the current lighting on the ad panels to LEDs and replacement of the ad panels
to a uniform color and font. The sign is heavily used by non-profit groups, FYCC, Lions Club, Fire

Cjl"u". Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 28, 2016
SUBJECT: CONSENT - CITY CLERK — ORDINANCE REVISION RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
STERLING CODIFIERS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance 2016-02 and Ordinance 2016-03 adopting minor revisions to
Title 2, Chapter 2, Planning Commission, and Title 10, Chapter 7, Sign Regulations.
BACKGROUND: In late 2015, the Planning Commission reviewed changes to the City's sign
code regulations. The purpose of the review was to make that section of the City Code easier
and more streamlined for the public and staff to use and comprehend. The Planning Commission
held a public hearing in December and ultimately recommended approval to the City Council,
which occurred on December 21, 2015.
In early 2016, the Council changed the composition of the Planning Commission to add an
alternate member to the Planning Commission, in addition to the five regular members and
Council liaison. This was approved in January 2016.
When ordinances are adopted by the City Council, they are sent to the City's codifier to
incorporate the new regulations into the City Code book in an orderly fashion. The two recent
ordinances passed by Council were sent back to staff from the codifier with suggested minor
revisions. The Planning Commission ordinance revisions addressed the number of members,
length of terms, and quorum requirements. The sign code ordinance revisions addressed
consistency in terminology and references to previous sections of the chapter. These revisions
were made to allow for consistency throughout the chapters.
KEY ISSUES:
The revisions would allow for more consistency within the Code pertaining to the
composition of the Planning Commission as well as the City's sign regulations.
These suggested revisions are minor and routine in nature.
The City's codifiers are well -trained in systemized municipal codes.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy for adopted ordinances to
be submitted and reviewed by the City's codifier, Sterling Codifiers.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There were no significant costs.

significant importance in lease arrangements between owner and tenant, it is the
city's intention to establish general requirements for the overall building only,
thus providing a building owner with both the flexibility and responsibility to deal
with his individual tenants on their specific sign needs. Comprehensive sign plan
applications or amendments require approval of an administrative permit.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 28, 2016
SUBJECT: CITY CLERK — NEW LIQUOR LICENSE FOR HANA 168 RESTAURANT INC. FOR THE
PREMISES LOCATED AT 6730 LAKETOWNE PLACE NE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve the On -Sale Intoxicating Liquor and Sunday Sale Licenses for Hana
168 Restaurant Inc. for the premises located at 6730 Laketowne Place NE contingent upon
receipt of workers compensation and liquor liability insurance, successful results of background
checks, and compliance with all building and fire codes.
BACKGROUND: The City has received a new liquor license application for an On -Sale
Intoxicating Liquor License and Sunday Sale License for the previous John Hardy's location at
6730 Laketowne Place NE. The applicants, Shufa Li and JianHua Ye, have completed the
appropriate forms for the liquor license. They hope for a mid -summer opening and will be
operating under the name "Hana".
Once the City approves the license, the license must be certified by the MN AGED.
KEY ISSUES:
• The applicants have submitted the license fee.
• The applicants must have background checks completed and staff is waiting for those
results. The licenses will be contingent upon successful results of the checks.
• The applicants are working on obtaining the workers compensation and liquor liability
insurance certificates. The licenses will also be contingent upon receipt of proof of
insurance. The MN AGED will not certify the licenses until the liquor liability insurance
is received at their office.
• The applicants have submitted a building permit for minor renovations to the premises
and are in the process of working with the Building Official. The licenses will also be
contingent upon compliance with all building and fire codes.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to
either approve or deny any liquor license application.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: This license fee has been paid in full. The City Code
requires that the liquor license fees be pro -rated for a partial license year. Staff recommends
refunding a portion of the license once the applicant has a tentative opening date.

SUBJECT: CITY CLERK — LIQUOR COMPLIANCE VIOLATION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Require liquor compliance training for employees of EK Restaurant, LLC, DBA
Emma Krumbee's, located at 11935 59th Place NE in lieu a civil fine for a liquor compliance
violation.
BACKGROUND: The MN Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division has the authority to
conduct liquor compliance checks on liquor establishments in the state. On March 11, 2016, an
investigator with the MN AGED conducted an investigation at Emma Krumbee's located at
11935 59th Place NE. The investigator was served an alcoholic beverage prior to legal hours of
alcohol service. MN AGED imposed a $250 fine on the establishment. Emma Krumbee's paid
the $250.00 fine on April 14, 2016.
The City Code allows Council to impose a civil fine or license suspension for liquor law
violations. Resolution 2005-015 (see attached) established guidelines and suggested fines for
liquor violations:
KEY ISSUES:
• The liquor compliance violation was for liquor service prior to legal liquor sales hours,
which begin at 8:00 a.m. Monday — Sunday. The sale occurred at 6:47 a.m.
• The MN AGED civil fine of $250 was paid and there was no suspension of the liquor
license.
• Emma Krumbee's received a liquor compliance violation in June 2015 as well. That
violation occurred under the previous ownership of Emma Krumbee's, Morris Walker
Ltd., and the civil fine of $500 for that violation was paid.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The 2005 resolution on liquor violation fines
serves as a guide to City Council in dealing with liquor law violations. The City Council has the
authority to impose stricter fines or suspensions, lessen or waive fines, or impose other
requirements as the Council deems necessary.
In previous years, the Council has waived the civil fine, but required ID swipers for
establishments that failed to properly read ID cards. In light of the type of violation that
occurred in March, staff recommends waiving the fine and requiring all servers and management
staff to attend liquor compliance training through Wright County Public Health Department.
This training is offered multiples times throughout the year. Staff recommends that employees
be required to complete the training by December 31, 2016. There are training classes already
scheduled for May and sometime in the fall 2016.

SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT — ADOPT WRIGHT COUNTY MULTI -HAZARD MITIGATION
PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2016-012 entitled A Resolution Adopting the Wright
County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan.
BACKGROUND: The Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) is a requirement of the Federal
Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000). The development of a local government plan is
required in order to maintain eligibility for certain federal disaster assistance and hazard
mitigation funding programs. In order for communities to be eligible for future mitigation funds,
they must adopt an MHMP.
This Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan represents the efforts of local agencies in Wright County to
fulfill the responsibility for hazard mitigation planning. The intent of the plan is to reduce the
actual threat of specific hazards by limiting the impact of damages and losses. The Wright
County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan was recently updated in 2015.
Staff believes the City of Albertville should formally adopt a Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan and
recommends approval of the Wright County Multi -Hazard Mitigation Plan.
KEY ISSUES:
The benefits of hazard mitigation planning include the following:
• Saving lives, protecting the health of the public, and reducing injuries
• Preventing or reducing property damage
• Reducing economic losses
• Minimizing social dislocation and stress
• Reducing agricultural losses
• Maintaining critical facilities in functioning order
• Protecting infrastructure from damage
• Protecting mental health
• Reducing legal liability of government and public officials
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the authority to approval and
adopt policies.

hazards that threaten the County, an estimate of structures at risk, a general description of land
uses and development trends; and,

process including plan updates, integration of the plan into other planning documents and how
Wright County will maintain public participation and coordination; and,

April 26, 2016
SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT- PURCHASE OF NEW RESCUE/MEDICAL RESPONSE VEHICLE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Authorize the purchase of a new red Chevrolet Suburban fleet vehicle under
State Contract; and authorize the purchase and equipping of emergency equipment and graphic
lettering, based on low quotes, for a total purchase amount not -to -exceed $60,000.
BACKGROUND: The current Fire Department rescue vehicle was purchased in 1999 when the
equipment needs of the Department were focused on heavy rescue response and personnel
transport needs. The current rescue vehicle now serves redundant functions with the Fire
Department Engine 11, and responds mostly as a medical response vehicle.
The new rescue vehicle will be used as the primary medical response vehicle for the entire fire
service area. The new vehicle will operate as a quicker responding, safer driving, and more cost-
efficient vehicle for use on the majority of all Fire Department calls for service.
The new rescue vehicle will replace the current rescue truck on the Fire Department's capital
replacement plan, reducing the need for a large rescue replacement purchase in the future. The
purchase of the new rescue vehicle, and resulting removal of the current rescue truck, keeps the
capital replacement plan budget on target for future vehicle projections. The yearly capital
funding for the current rescue truck will be put toward the replacement of Tender 11 in 5 years,
making up for a current shortfall.
The current rescue truck will be sold to offset the cost of the new rescue vehicle. The Fire
Department has received one response from a used fire apparatus broker for the sale of the
current rescue vehicle. Based on recent sales, the vendor suggested a starting list price of
$45,000 with expected sale price to be at least $40,000.
Staff is recommending approval of a vehicle budget not -to -exceed $60,000. Based on the State
Contract, the vehicle itself will be approximately $45,000. Initial quotes for the cost of outfitting
and equipping the vehicle are estimated to be $13,000, and quotes for lettering the vehicle are
approximately $1,500.
KEY ISSUES:
The Fire Department Board of Officers and the Fire Committee have reviewed and discussed
the purchase and shift in the capital replacement purchase plan.
The fleet vehicle order will be placed now and delivery will be this fall.
The vehicle will be the Department's new medical response vehicle.

Monday, April 20, 2015 Page 2 of 2
• The vehicle purchase price will be offset by the sale of the current Rescue vehicle.
• Future Fire Department capital projections will be reduced by removing the current Rescue
vehicle from the capital replacement plan.
• The funding for the vehicle will be with Fire Department capital equipment funds.
• The purchase of emergency equipment, installation, and lettering will be based on low
quotes, and the purchase of the vehicle will be off the State bid.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy for the Council to review and approve all
capital purchases and investments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The cost associated with the vehicle will be funded
through fire department capital reserves and the 2016 capital budget. Approximately 42% of the
purchase will be funded as part of the service agreement with Otsego.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the authority to purchase equipment under the
State of Minnesota contract or by quotes.

paint the signal systems at CSAH 19 and CSAH 37, and at CSAH 19 and Outlet Mall.
Background Information: The signal systems CSAH 19/CSAH 37 and CSAH 19/Outlet Mall
are in need of repainting. Staff solicited three quotes for the work with the lowest quote being
submitted by Pole Painting Plus of Monticello.
The work will include preparation and painting of the signal system (standards, mast arms,
heads, luminaire, and EVPs).
The two signal systems will be painted to match the newer system at CSAH 19 and CSAH 18,
with black standards and aluminum -colored arms and luminaires.
The signal at CSAH 19 and 571h Street is not included, because system adjustments at this
intersection are currently under review.
Per signal system agreements between the County and City, the City is responsible for the
repainting.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: Acceptance of quotes for infrastructure maintenance is subject
to Mayor and City Council approval.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The cost associated with the painting is $11,375 and
would be funded through general fund reserves.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to order and
authorize municipal improvements.

Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
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. Adam is trying to reach the owner to get the new
deed signed.
• Charter Cable. Charter Cable has replied to our request regarding the free cable
service it is to provide to the City. Their contention is that the City is only entitled
under Federal law to collect a maximum of 5% in franchise fees, which we are
already collecting. Charter believes that provision of free cable service to
municipal buildings over and above that 5% is prohibited under Federal law. I
will check the law on this and see if Charter's interpretation is correct.
• Prairie Run. Fieldstone has closed on seven of the 10 lots on the private street
and has closed on the first lot of the 15 lots that went tax forfeit. Fieldstone
reports that its Parade of Homes went very well this year and they expect to close
on the last three private street lots this year. We are meeting next week with
Fieldstone and Cathy Jarosh, the resident who has single-handedly kept the Prairie
Run Homeowners' Association running, to transition the Homeowners'
Page 1 of 2
Agenda Page 76
Association from Cathy to a broader base of residents. Our goal is to make sure
the Association functions properly so that it can continue to maintain the private
street in a way that will ensure it provides acceptable access to the 13 homes on
the street. To date, the 13th homeowner has not yet joined the Association.
Fieldstone will again try to contact the homeowner to see if she will j oin.
• City Hall Cleaning Contract. I have been working with Adam on preparing a
new City Hall cleaning contract.
FTTH Cable Franchise. FTTH, which operates a small cable franchise in Towne
Lakes, was recently sold to Gigabit, who continues to operate the system. I have
sent Gigabit a letter informing them that they and FTTH are delinquent on paying
franchise fees to the City and requesting that they submit their revenue
information to the City, so that we can determine the amount of franchise fees they
owe the City.
• City Administrator Pay Increase. I have been working with the Personnel
Committee regarding a proposed pay increase for the City Administrator, which I
am hoping to have done in time for this agenda.

Minnesota Statute 124D.03, Subdivision 2
By state statute, a school board may, by resolution, limit enrollment for nonresident pupils in its schools
or program to a number not less than the lessor of:
• One percent of the total enrollment at each grade level in the district
• The number of district residents at that grade level enrolled in a non-resident district
Background
• Statewide Open Enrollment Applies until Graduation
Currently, attending STMA students enrolled in the Statewide Enrollment Options Program may
remain enrolled until graduation, unless they are terminated due to chronic truancy.
• Move to New Resident District Requires Updated Form
If an open enrolled family moves to a new resident district, the open enrollment form on file at
the enrolling district should be updated. The student's space is not in jeopardy because of the
move.
• Legal reasons for denying a Statewide Enrollment Options application
o Missed deadlines.
o Capacity issues: The school board limited open enrollment by grade level, setting this
limit no lower than one percent of the total enrollment at each grade level in the
district; OR the school board limited number of district residents at that grade level to
not less than those enrolled in a nonresident district.
o Current expulsion for a specific reason detailed in the Statewide Enrollment Options
law. See Minnesota Statutes Section 124D.03 Subd. 12.
• Transportation
Parents normally provide student transportation to the nonresident district. After accepting an
open enrollment spot, a parent may request transportation from an approved bus stop within
the nonresident district nearest the family's home, if there is room on the bus and based on the
final destination of the bus.
• Applications and Residency
Only the legal parent or guardian may submit an application on behalf of the student.
Parents/guardians must provide proof of residency at registration.
Resolution Options
• Set enrollment cap of 450 for kindergarten, 490 for grades 1-8 and 525 for grades 9-12
• Siblings of currently attending STMA students will be given preference
Agenda Page 81
• Students of resident families who moved out of the district may continue to enroll in STMA
upon completion of open enrollment forms
• There is a possibility that not all students from the same family will be approved
• The cap may be exceeded for enrollment of siblings of students currently attending STMA
schools
• The district reserves the right to assigned the student to a school
• If the application for open enrollment is approved, the student is guaranteed space in the
district until graduation
• In addition to the statutory application deadline of January 15, the district will establish two or
three additional application deadlines
• If there are more applications than can be accommodated, a lottery will determine which
applications will be approved, with preference given to siblings of currently enrolled STMA
students
• When the number of applications exceeds available space, applications will be placed on a
waiting list based upon the lottery
• Students who are open enrolled into STMA, who discontinue enrollment (return to resident
district, register for online school, etc.), and who wish to reenroll at STMA, must reapply for
open enrollment and are not guaranteed reenrollment into STMA.

W Mayor and Council Request for Action
May 2, 2016
SUBJECT: WAGE INCREASE FOR CITY ADMINISTRATOR/PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve increase in City Administrator/Public Works Director annual salary
from $111,756.06 to $124,000, effective May 2, 2016.
BACKGROUND: Adam Nafstad was hired as City Administrator on September 17, 2012 at a
salary of $103,784. Since then he has received the same COLA as other city employees --to bring
his salary to its current amount of $111,756.06. Because Adam's position was unique at the City
when it was established, there was no regular pay scale with step increases as the City uses for
other employee positions. The City Council has not granted Adam the equivalent of a step
increase since he started in 2012.
Adam's performance to date has been very good, including the following accomplishments:
• All 4 performance reviews have been positive.
• Major Accomplishments include:
o Oversaw the assessment of the I-94 Ramp and worked with the Outlet Mall to
make the assessment acceptable without an appeal from the Outlet Mall.
o Fraser steel building expansion.
o Old Castle Glass new building.
0 541h Street Drainage project, including working with the businesses in the
industrial park to minimize business disruption during construction.
o Retained Mold Tech in the City and facilitated the expansion of their building.
o Successful Hire of Fire Chief and facilitation process.
o FYCC relocation to old City Hall.
o Rehab of the old Public Works Facility for use as a soccer practice area and
leasing of the facility to STMA Soccer Association.
o Smoother operation/better cooperation of City Staff at City Hall.
Meeting Date: May l 20161N-S �-r- .,r n n rE
Mayor and Council Request for Action — May 2, 2016
WAGE INCREASE FOR CITY ADMINISTRATOR/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
Page 2 of 3
o Positive reviews from Residents and business owners.
o Cost Savings of serving in three capacities, Admin, Engineer, Public Works
Director have been largely realized.
o Significantly better working relationships with neighboring cities.
A Survey of neighboring communities indicates that Adam is significantly under paid, with the
average salary of the surveyed communities for the City Administrator Position at $127,500
The personnel committee met in April to review Adam's salary and is recommending his salary
be increased to $124,000 as the equivalent of a step increase which recognizes both Adam's
accomplishments as noted above and his increased experience level at the position. This
increase could have happened in January of 2015 (after 2+ years on the job), but the issue was
simply missed at that time. It could also have happened in January of this year, but because
reviews were delayed Adam's salary increase was also delayed. State law forbids retroactively
increasing a City employee's pay, so any increase in salary can be effective no earlier than May
2, 2016.
KEY ISSUES:
• Adam's initial salary was set by contract, with regular COLA increases at the same rate
as the other City employees.
• Adam has only had the COLA increases at the same rate as those given to all other City
employees.
• This increase is intended to take the place of a step increase had the City established
steps for this position.
• The Personnel Committee recognized Adam's accomplishments noted above and
recommends this increase as merited given Adam's performance and growth within the
position.
• This increase will bring Adam's pay more in line with other City Administrators in the
area.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: This pay increase takes the place of a step
increase, which has been established for all other positions within the City. Although the City is
not contractually obligated to grant this increase, the Personnel Committee recommends it based
on performance and to keep Adam's salary competitive in the marketplace.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Because this pay increase if approved will be effective
May 2°d, it will amount to an $8,162 increase in gross pay for Adam for the remainder of 2016.
There will be additional payroll taxes and PERA contributions associated with the pay increase,
but those have not been calculated at this time.

Subject: Open Enrollment
Steve and Adam,
Doug Birk and I decided to postpone any further discussion by the School Board on open enrollment until the May 16
school board meeting. This will allow the two city councils to discuss the topic at their upcoming city council meetings
and to provide feedback or share positions with the School Board for its May 16 meeting, if they so choose. I attached a
memo that the School Board received at their April 18 meeting for background information.
I see that there are a couple of social media posts that are concerning some parents. Something you can share with
anyone who asks and your councils is that if a student is currently open enrolled they are permitted to remain in the
district until graduation. In other words, no currently enrolled open enrollment student would have to leave the district
nor would they be reassigned to another school within the district. There is some confusion. So any change in open
enrollment policy effects only new requests and I anticipate that the School Board will give preference and may even
guarantee approval of siblings of current open enrolled students. The other thing to keep in mind is that any change
would only affect 2016-17 grades 4-9 as it is our bubble enrollment. You can also share that the School Board has not
taken any position at this time and is the information gathering process.
If you have questions, let me know or feel free to have your mayors and council persons contact me.
