ABSENT: None
OTHERS PRESENT: City Administrator-PWD Adam Nafstad, City Clerk Kimberly Olson,
Albertville Appraiser Brice Nelson, Appraiser Wally Peterson
Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:30 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 hearing is
being held for the 2017 assessment for taxes due and payable in 2018. 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 is based on a study that occurred between October 1, 2015
and September 30, 2016.
Peterson reported there were 140 qualified and 37 unqualified (foreclosed) residential sales. The
median price for the qualified sales was $238,711. The sales ratio is 92.05% and within the State
of Minnesota’s requirements. Qualified residential sales countywide were up 13% and the
average market value countywide was up approximately 6%, indicating continued improvement.
Commercial/industrial value countywide increased 1.42%.
Nelson outlined the appeals process regarding property tax valuations. He stated the Assessor’s
Office has received a few calls and staff explained what market value is and how it is
determined.
PID 101051002070, 5617 Kalenda Drive NE
Nelson reported the property owner had concerns about the valuation of the property. Nelson
stated he visited the property and recommends the reduction of square footage in the lower level
and value reduction of the deck due to condition. Council will need to take formal action on this
property valuation.

PID 101500364301, 101500364302, 101500364311, 6065 Large Avenue NE
Leon Greenslit, of MGM Properties Corporation, was present at the meeting to request a
reduction in the valuation of the parcels. Greenslit stated the properties are the old creamery and
a billboard sign. The billboard sign is slated to be relocated to a different property in the near
future. He felt the three parcels are valued higher than surrounding parcels. He stated the three
parcels are packaged together in order to sell; if they are not packaged together, there are not a
lot of buyers. Nelson replied that once the billboard is removed, the valuation can be adjusted.
Nafstad inquired if there is unusable right of way or utilities located on the parcels that would
prohibit development. Peterson stated the County would need time to review and re-evaluate the
property. Vetsch felt the property should be revalued. Hendrickson inquired how the Council
should address the issue and Nelson reported the Board can reconvene in 20 days or less to give
the County time to address the request or take no action and have the property owner appeal to
the Wright County Board of Appeals and Equalization. Cocking stated that he preferred the
matter to be kept at the municipal level.
PID 101110006090, 6853 LaSalle Circle NE
Rebecca Nielson was present to dispute the valuation of the property. She stated the valuation
was $384,300 and there are no homes in the neighborhood that have sold for over $350,000. She
felt there was a $35,000 discrepancy in value and there are other comparable properties to look at
in the same neighborhood. Nelson replied that he would like to visit and review the property and
suggested the Council set a date and time to reconvene the Local Board of Appeals and
Equalization for both this property and the MGM parcels. He recommended closing the hearing.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to approve the change in valuation for 5617
Kalenda Drive NE, PID 101051002070, from $216,744 to $211,071. Ayes: Hendrickson,

Hendrickson presented Gerads with a certificate of appreciate for ten years of service to the City of
Albertville. Gerads appreciated the recognition and stated that he has enjoyed working for the city.
Nafstad stated Gerads has a great attitude every day, provides great outreach and customer service to
the residents and is willing to work on any project.
B. 2016 Audit Presentation (ABDO - Andy Berg)
Berg reported the auditors had an unmodified (or clean) opinion of the city’s financials. He noted
the limited segregation of duties was a finding, but that is due to small staff size. He reported the
city had met the seven areas of legal compliance. Berg reviewed cash flow, revolving loan fund,
debt service, capital outlay, recycling fund and enterprise funds.
Hudson inquired about liability for retirement funds and where they are managed. Berg replied it is
managed by the State.

has gone very smoothly.

Regular Meeting of April 17, 2017
C. Central Park Depot Presentation
LeRoy Berning, Albertville Lions Club, was present at the meeting to discuss the proposed depot at
Central Park. He reported the Lions have looked at preliminary costs to build the depot for
approximately $250,000-260,000. He stated the Lions will cover the costs and ultimately donate the
building to the City. He is seeking city approval before the Lions begin spending funds. Nafstad
stated the City Planner has updated the Central Park Master Plan and that will go before Planning
and City Council in the next month. Couri clarified that if the city is contracting the work, they must
bid competitively. However, if the Lions contract with the contractors for the work, the Lions do not
need to bid competitively. Berning reported that the concept has been before the Parks Committee
multiple times. Nafstad would like to have the Council review the construction plans once they are
completed. Berning reported the Lions plan to begin the depot construction in September/October
2017 and complete it before Friendly City Days 2018. Park improvements would be started next
yea r and completed the following year in time for the 2019 centennial Friendly City Days.
Cocking inquired if a lien could be placed against the City from a contractor should they not receive
payment for services relating to the project. Couri responded that he believes by MN Statute that
any project by the City for public use would not be subject to a lien, but he would have to research
further. Cocking stated that he is comfortable with the project; his concern was setting a precedent
down the line.
Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Olson, to move forward with the Central Park depot project to be
funded and dedicated by the Albertville Lions Club. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson,
and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.

7. PUBLIC HEARINGS – None
8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. City Council
1). Committee Updates
Fire Advisory Committee Meeting/Fire Business Meeting
Cocking reported the Fire Relief Association may come to Council regarding annual retirement
payout. Hendrickson requested that more information be included in the Council agenda packet
before or at the time of the discussion. Cocking also reported that the revised Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP’s) are now in place.
Planning Commission
Hudson indicated the Planning Commission discussed the communications tower issue and
continued the public hearing to the May meeting. He explained the City Planner had indicated to the
applicant that they could possibly use an existing tower location for their request. The applicant
wished to postpone the public hearing in order for them to gather more information in response to
the Planner’s comments; however, public hearing notification had already been published and
mailed, so the Commission chose to open the hearing and continue it to the next meeting. Hudson
stated there were a several individuals present at the meeting.
Hendrickson suggested having discussion on the placement of towers in the city in general. Couri
explained the current application filed must be approved or denied based on current code standards,
but that does not prohibit the Council from looking at future land use and zoning. He also stated that
cities cannot outright prohibit communications towers. Olson inquired about hiring a third party to
assess the need for a tower and Nafstad replied that the city has not moved in that direction at this
point.
Hudson stated that the Planner is ready to prepare both a resolution to possibly approve or disallow
the communications tower.
B. City Clerk
1). Albertville Friendly City Days Street Closing and Park Hours Request
Clerk Olson reported the Friendly City Days Committee is requesting the following street closings
and extended park hours:
Agenda Page 8
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of April 17, 2017
Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Olson, to approve the AFCD Committee request for street
closings and modified Central Park hours for the 2017 Friendly City Days festival. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.
2). Albertville Friendly City Days Liquor Licenses
Clerk Olson reported the Fire Relief Association has submitted an application for a One-Day
Intoxicating Liquor License to sell craft beer on June 8, 2017 at Albertville Friendly City Days
(AFCD). Cocking inquired about the city’s out of pocket costs to process the license. Clerk Olson
replied that staff needs to verify the applicant has completed all the required materials. She
explained te cost for an intoxicating temporary liquor (strong beer) is $220 per day and for 3.2%
beer it is $10 per day. Cocking suggested reducing the fee since it is for the Relief Association.
Nafstad suggested the $220 fee cover the multiple-day event for all groups. Nafstad had concerns
with waving the fee. Cocking stated he is aware of setting precedent, but these groups donate back
to the community and are worthy causes; he would like the fee to only cover the actual cost of the
license. Olson inquired if there is a reason why there is such a price difference and Clerk Olson
replied she did not know; the fees have been in the Code for some time. Hudson could see the cost
difference as a means to ensure that only serious organizations are applying and he is okay with
reducing the fee. Berning stated the Lions don’t wish to have the fee waived, but would like to see a
per event fee.
Clerk Olson reported that the Albertville Lions had already received approval for 3.2% beer sales
during AFCD. Berning said the only reason they are asking for the stronger beer is that they were
approached by the vendor that the 3.2% beer was a special order and there are only three states that
even have a 3.2% specific license. The Lions would also like to offer flavored beverages that are a
slightly stronger alcohol content than 3.2%.

C. Administration
1). City Administrator’s Update
Nafstad reported that several years ago the City worked with the City of St. Michael to mitigate
flooding that had occurred in the southwest area of the City. There is still a large section of the
watershed that is undeveloped and located outside of the City that the City will need to manage. A
development group has a purchase agreement on the undeveloped property located in St. Michael.
Nafstad reported that St. Michael does not have sewer and water extended to the property and this
presents an opportunity for Albertville to provide sewer and water, similar to the STMA High
School and Fieldstone Elementary School. This would also include the opportunity to further
manage the watershed area and provide more flood protection to the Albert Villas area. Albertville
will have to accept wastewater and the City does have capacity. Albertville will not own the water
and sewer utilities and would charge St. Michael bulk rate for the service provided. He stated the
development group hopes to break ground this fall and the project will go to the St. Michael
Planning Commission in June. He added that a joint powers agreement would be drawn up between
the two cities. Nafstad is seeking Council approval to continue the discussions. Council was
supportive of moving forward.
D. Public Works/Engineering
1). 2017 Street and Trail Improvements
Nafstad reported that bids for the project were opened on April 11, 2017 and the low bid received
was from Omann Contracting Companies in the amount of $608,869.02. The total includes the
alternate for trail overlay in the Towne Lakes area. There will also be the replacement of the
bituminous trail in the project area of Karston Avenue NE, Kahler Avenue NE, Kalland Avenue NE,
and 57th Street NE with a narrow grass boulevard and concrete sidewalk. He stated there will be
partial driveway replacement needed with the project and if homeowners wish to have additional
driveway work completed, homeowners will be given Omann’s contact information and will need to
coordinate with the contractor.
Olson inquired about completing the trail loop around Oakside Park, stating it seems timely as they
will be doing work in the area. He knew this was a request of former Councilmembers in past years.
Hudson inquired how inclusion of the trail completion would affect the bid process and Nafstad
replied it would require a change order. Nafstad stated that there were homeowners who were once
opposed to the trail.
Hudson would like to have the Parks Committee comment on the topic. Nafstad will bring the trail
inclusion to the departments and bring back to Council if there are any concerns.

Nafstad reported that Henry Hanson, Onsite Solution and HSB Ventures LLC, has a purchase
agreement with Kilbur for Towne Lakes 6th Addition. Council had approved an amended
developer’s agreement with Hanson in August 2016 and he is willing to work within that agreement
with some minor changes. The changes would not need Council approval and he is hoping to close
on April 28, 2017.
Nafstad stated that Xcel Energy has started their streetlight LED upgrade in Albertville. Cocking
asked about the boundary line of where it changes from Xcel Energy to Wright Hennepin Electric
and asked if staff can find out if and when Wright Hennepin will be upgrading their streetlights.
Nafstad invited the Council to the Senior Center Volunteer Brunch on Monday, April 24, 2017 from

Meeting Date: May 1, 2017
April 13, 2017
SUBJECT: CONSENT - CITY CLERK – FRIENDLY CITY DAYS LIQUOR LICENSES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Approve a Temporary Intoxicating Liquor License for the Albertville Lions and
the Knights of Columbus for June 9-11 2017 for the 2017 Friendly City Days festival contingent
upon receipt of liquor liability insurance.
BACKGROUND: The Albertville Lions and Knights of Columbus have both submitted a
temporary liquor license application to serve strong beer during the Friendly City Days Friday,
June 9, 2017 through Sunday, June 11, 2017.
During the festival, there are two beer gardens sponsored by the Albertville Lions Club and
Knights of Columbus on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (June 9-11). At the April 17, 2017 City
Council meeting, the Council gave approval for the groups to apply to serve strong beer at the
beer gardens rather than 3.2% beer. The Albertville Lions were seeking the change so that the
beverage distributer does not need to special order the 3.2% product.
KEY ISSUES:
• For beer that contains a higher alcoholic content than 3.2% malt liquor, the Alcohol and
Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED) requires the applicant to apply for a Temporary
Intoxicating Liquor License.
• Both groups have submitted the correct application.
• Both groups will need to provide the appropriate liquor liability insurance before the
application can be sent to AGED for approval.
• Both groups have already applied and paid for the 3.2% malt liquor licenses.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At the last City Council meeting, the Council also
authorized the a $220 fee to cover the entire AFCD event and to be divided equally amongst the
groups serving beer. The fees previously paid by the Albertville Lions and Knights of Columbus
will deducted from that prorated fee. The total cost for liquor license holders for the event will
not exceed $220.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to review and
approve or deny any liquor license.

SUBJECT: CITY CLERK – NEW LIQUOR LICENSE FOR COBORN’S LIQUOR LOCATED AT 5600
LACENTRE AVENUE NE, SUITE 114

MOTION TO: Approve the Off -Sale Intoxicating Liquor Licenses for Coborn’s Liquor for the
premises located at 5600 LaCentre Avenue NE, Suite 114 contingent upon compliance with all
building and fire codes.

anticipated date of opening is June 19, 2017. Once the City approves the license, the license
must be certified by the MN AGED.

establishment must submit a new liquor license fee.
• The applicants have submitted the license fee and successfully passed the background
checks.
• The applicants have obtained workers compensation and liquor liability insurance.
• The applicants have submitted a building permit for renovations to the new premises, are
working with the Building Official, and are current on inspections. The licenses will also
be contingent upon compliance with all building and fire codes.

Memo

From: Mike Couri
Date: April 27, 2017
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.
• Ice Arena. An initial first draft of the ice arena joint powers agreement/operating
agreement for both sheets of ice is finished and will be circulated among St.
Michael and the School District staff for comment.
• Towne Lakes 6th Addition. Paxmar development is no longer interested in
purchasing the Towne Lakes 6th Addition property. The current owner, the Kilbur
Group, has entered into a purchase agreement with the development group that
was interested in purchasing the property last year and which as already met with

the Association. That sale is supposed to close at the end of April. We have sent
the new owners the same developer’s agreement amendment approved by the City
last year.
