Clerk Olson reported that staff has received a liquor license application for On-Sale Intoxicating and

restaurant “Hana”. This is the former John Hardy’s site. She stated they willserve French cuisine
and sushi. They hope for a mid-summer opening. She stated that the applicants have paidthe
appropriate fees and they are working on insurance. Staff recommends approval of the licenses

Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Olson, to approve the On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor and Sunday

B.City Council
1).Neighbor’s Eatery and Saloon Compliance Extension
Brixius reportedthat a code enforcement letter was sent to the owner in March pertaining to non-
compliance with terms of the Conditional Use Permit for outdoor dining at the establishment and to
come into compliance by April 29, 2016. The issues that need to be corrected are to re-establish the
lease agreement with the Church of St. Albert for off-site parking for the additional parking needed
for the outdoor dining area. The property must also remove the outdoor bar and re-establish the
trash enclosure.
Joe Holtz, owner of Neighbor’s Eatery and Saloon, was present at the meeting to request an
extension to the time frame in which to comply with the letter. Holtz stated that the church had
talked about approaching other Main Avenue restaurants to see if they needed additional parking and
would participate in the lease agreement. He stated he never heard back from the Church and he has
since been injured in an accident that has had a lengthy recovery. He stated he has not had a chance
to review the details with the church.
Hudson stated that if the City is looking to have an agreement in place, he feels that the owner is
aware of it and trying to obtain it. He feels the extension for 60 days is realistic in this situation.
Hendrickson inquired what would happen if the conditions were not corrected in the extended time
frame. Brixius reported that failure to comply could result in revocation of the CUP, revocation of
the 2016 liquor licenses, and administrative fines. Brixius stated the current outdoor bar area is not
compliant with fire code.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Sorensen, to grant a 60-day extension to Neighbors Eatery and
Saloon to correct the conditions outlined in their CUP. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson,
Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.

Regular Meeting of May 2, 2016
Agenda Page 5
2).STMA Open Enrollment –Discussion
Hendrickson introduced the item by stating that the STMA School Board is contemplating putting a
cap on open enrollment. It has been brought to her attention that the neighborhoods of Towne Lakes
and Hunters Pass could be affected by limitations to open enrollment to the STMA School District as
those neighborhoods sit in the Elk River School District. She has heard from members of those
neighborhoods that they would like to see a change in boundary lines to include the neighborhoods
into the STMA School District.
Hendrickson clarified that the City Council has not discussed either open enrollment or school
boundary line changes. She indicated the Council had received a memorandum from STMA
Schools Superintendent Dr. Behle that identifies capacity issues and future enrollment numbers.
Hendrickson further clarified that the City has no legal authority to change school boundary lines.
Sorensen reported the STMA School Board will be discussing the open enrollment issue at their
May 16 meeting. Nafstad stated that a change of school boundary lines are a spinoff of the open
enrollment issue and are currently not a topic of STMA School Board discussion.
Nafstad reported that Dr. Behle’s April memorandum invited comments from the City Councils of
both St. Michael and Albertville. He stated that Dr. Behle has been supportive of informing
neighborhoods that could be affected by any changes in open enrollment.
Hendrickson stated that the City cannot tell the STMA School Board its capacity levels, but
Hendrickson and Hudson felt, as elected officials, they can bring resident concerns to the STMA
School Board.
Sorensen had concerns how school district boundary changes will affect taxpayers and they need a
full picture of the topic. He stated that the Council needs to hear from those currently residing in
STMA School District as well.
Beau Bunnell, 11656 E. Laketowne Drive, stated he has three children in the Elk River school
district. He stated that he felt it is most beneficial to change the boundary of the STMA School
District to include all of Albertville. He has worked on the Homeowners Association since the
homes were built and is confident that developers and builders would say the same.
City Attorney Couri explained the different options school districts could use to change boundary
lines. Commissioner Potter explained they had tried to accomplish the same thing in the 1990’s, but
it did not happen. He stated it becomes complicated as school districts look at disparities as well as
the bonds the districts have tied to the properties in their district. Couri stated that the two school
districts would need to come to some type of agreement and if that can be done, it would need
approval from the Legislature.
Hendrickson stated that she is interested in passing a resolution to encourage the schools to discuss
the possibility of a school district boundary change. Hudson stated that the City can take the role to
facilitate the discussion between the two school districts and can take leadership for the
conversation.

Regular Meeting of May 2, 2016
Agenda Page 6
Hudson stated that it may come down to raw politics. He stated that residents in the Elk River
district are represented by board members of the Elk River School District and they can make the
case to them as well.
Olson agreed cases can be made to both school districts. However, essentially some type of land
swap would ultimately be needed and could require some residents already in the STMA School
District to be removedfrom the district. He stated that many cities have multiple school districts and
Albertville has a strong history of working with many other entities. He stated that he will continue
to view Albertville as a city with two school districts.
Hudson stated that he does tend to be more Albertville centered to do what is best for Albertville
residentsandstated they cannot rely on others outside of Albertville to do what is best for all
Albertville residents.
Aaron Cocking, 11614 Laketowne View NE, presented figures to Council of what Town Lakes
neighborhood sends to Elk River School Districtin taxes.
Erin Remme, 6741 Lakeview Circle NE, thanked the Council for listening to them. She stated
residents hadapproached the STMA School District about getting busesto Towne Lakes and
Hunters Pass area if the parents agreed to pay for the transportation and the STMA School Board
were not welcoming to them as they were not part of the district. She thanked the Council for
listening to their concerns.
Jason Priebe, 6744 Lakeview Circle NE, stated that Council is here to represent the constituents and
asked Council to work with the STMA School District as they have more pull with them and
residents from his area do not. He asked Council to help them be part of the larger community.
th
Jim Erickson, 6760 67Street NE, stated that hehas frustration with the commute to schools in the
Elk River School District. He stated that he has a daughter with special needs, so they must go
through the school district they live in to provide her special needs education. He stated that she is
on the bus for two hours a day for schooling for two and a half hours. He stated there is some
overwhelming frustration with the having friends in the Elk River schools who are a half hour away.
Ted Carlson, 6900 Lydia Circle NE, stated there are safety concerns due to no bussing for the open
enrolled students in Towne Lakes and Hunters Pass. He stated there are already traffic issues at
Middle School West due to all the students being dropped off and inclusion into the STMA School
District may relieve some of that.
JR Burke, 11570 Laketowne View NE, spoke on behalf of his son who is a STMA Knight. His son
is an athlete and wants to be part of the community. He felt this is a legitimate concern and asked
Council to direct staff to bring the groups involved into discussion.
Aaron Trant, 6945 Lydia Circle NE, stated the experience with the bussing issue with the STMA
School Board was bad and many of his neighbors have given up. He asked the Council for their
help.

Hendrickson stated she would like to see some type of resolution from the Council that supports
bringing the conversation to the STMA School Board.
Motioned by Hudson to resolve to pursue inclusion of the neighborhoods north of I-94 into the
STMA School District.
Sorensen stated that he came into the conversation firmly believing it is a school district issue. He
stated that ultimately it will be a school district decision, but he sees how the Council can bring
resident’sconcerns forward to the school districts. Olson stated he is open to talking to both
districts.
Hudson amended his motion to resolve to pursue investigation of inclusion of neighborhoods
north of I-94 into the STMA School District.
A member of the audience asked Olson why is torn on the issue. Olson responded that they need to
listen to both districts as they both have boundaries within Albertville.

Guimont reported that the Albertville Lions are willing to donate $25,000 and the STMA Youth
Baseball would be willing to donate $6,000. Sorensen inquired if this project would limit any future
park projects. Guimont stated Council has discussed using $150,000 of the $300,000 general
reserves for park improvements. Nafstad also stated that any remaining costs should be funded by
park dedication funds rather than capital. Lannes explained that park dedication funds are for new
items in the parks whereas capital funds are used for park and trail improvements to existing

Memo
To:Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council
From:Mike Couri
Date: June 6, 2016
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 two of the 15 lots that went tax forfeit. Fieldstone has four more
closings lined up in the coming weeks. Adam and I met with the residents of
Prairie Run at a Homeowners’ Association meeting where we effectively passed
the administration of the Association from the one resident who has kept the
Association alive (with assistance from the City and Fieldstone) to a broader group
Page 1 of 3
Agenda Page 34
of Prairie Run residents. At this point the Association is functioning and the City
is no longer devoting any resources to the Association—we expect it to be self-
sustaining from this point forward. The residents understand that the Association
is charged with maintaining the street and will need to collect dues sufficient to
properly maintain the street in the future.
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. Gigabit
has responded to our letter and has sent the City a check for the past due franchise
fees they collected since their purchase approximately one year ago. We will
followup with a letter to FTTH for past franchise fees due, but we expect they will
be difficult to find and even harder to get a response from.
th
Quiet Title Action—60Street.
The City was recently served with a quiet title
th
action by the owner of the car wash on 60 Street. A quiet title action is a
procedure that the property owner undertakes to clear a title problem with their
property. Quiet title actions are fairly common and usually do not involve much
change in property lines, if any. In this case, the car wash’s original legal
description was based on a plat that is not tied in to the County’s section/quarter
section marker system. The City was named as a defendant because the City owns
th
60 Street to the north of the car wash and a 12-foot alley to the east of the car
wash. Upon surveying the property, it was discovered that the building extends
th
about 2.5 inches into 60 Street on the northeast corner of the lot. The owner of
the car wash is seeking to have this 2.5 inches made part of his lot (and no longer
classified as a street). While the City could oppose this and fight to keep the 2.5
inches of street, it does not seem worth it to me. If the City were to win, the car
wash building would have to be relocated or physically altered so that the building
was no longer on the City Street. This would likely cost the City several thousand
dollars to contest, and the outcome is not certain. From a more practical
standpoint, the City can simply not oppose the action and allow the 2.5 inches to
revert back to private property and no longer be City street. The 2.5 inches would
th
not impact 60 Street in any meaningful way and not contesting this issue would
save the City attorneys’ fees and court costs. Unless the Council has an objection,

I will convey to the opposing attorney that the City does not intend to challenge
the quiet title action.

finalized.
