CALL TO ORDER - PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. 2. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor Hendrickson and Council members Cocking, Hudson, Olson, 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: Representative Eric Lucero 3. RECOGNITIONS – PRESENTATIONS – INTRODUCTIONS A. Legislative Update Representative Lucero was present to provide the Council an update on the recent legislative session. He reported that the legislature ended up in a special session in order to pass funding bills. Lucero also reported that twelve omnibus bills passed that include: • Agriculture • Bonding • K-12 education • Health and human services • Environment and renewable resources • Higher education • Job growth and energy affordability • Legacy • Public safety • State government finance • Taxes • Transportation Lucero reported that Corridors of Commerce was funded and is a huge success for the area’s upcoming transportation projects. Agenda Page 3 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 Hudson inquired about a possible legislative lawsuit against the Governor because of the veto on funding for the legislature. Lucero replied that the legislature felt the line item veto of their funding is unconstitutional. Hudson inquired about the impact this would have. Lucero replied that it would impact 201 legislators and more than 500 staff. Hendrickson asked who pays for these costs and Lucero replied that it would be taxpayer dollars. Hendrickson thanked Lucero for his support regarding the school boundary discussion and anticipated that discussion will begin again once the new superintendent for the Elk River school district is in place. Lucero replied he would look forward to bringing that to the legislature should a school boundary change be sought. 4. PUBLIC FORUM There was no one present for the forum. 5. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGENDA Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Olson, to approve the Agenda as presented. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTIONED DECLARED CARRIED. 6. CONSENT AGENDA All items under the Consent Agenda are considered to be routine by the City staff and will be enacted by one motion. In the event an item is pulled, it will be discussed in the order it is listed on the Consent Agenda following the approval of the remaining Consent items. These items will be approved by a separate motion. A. Approve the May 15, 2017 regular City Council meeting minutes as presented B. Authorize the Monday, June 5, 2017 payment of claims as presented, except bills specifically pulled which are passed by separate motion. The claims listing has been provided to City Council as a separate document and is available for public view at City Hall upon request C. Approve a One-Day Temporary Intoxicating Liquor License for the Albertville Lions Club for September 9, 2017 D. Adopt Ordinance No. 2017-03, an ordinance amending the Albertville City Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Alcoholic Beverages, Section 12 permitting the off-sale of intoxicating liquor and 3.2 malt liquor on Sundays and prohibiting certain deliveries on Sundays City Attorney Couri reported that in the legislative special session, new language was added to the Sunday liquor sales law that would now allow cities to limit not only the hours, but the days that liquor could be sold off sale. Couri inquired if that language would change the Council’s mind about the Sunday liquor sales ordinance on the Consent Agenda. Council would like to keep the ordinance as presented. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hudson, to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Agenda Page 4 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS – None 8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS A. City Council 1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC, etc.) FYCC Olson reported the Board interviewed three very good candidates for the FYCC Coordinator position and the person selected will begin on June 15, 2017. He also reported that FYCC received an $18,000 grant from Wright County Area United Way for programming. A. Planning/Zoning 1). Waste Hauler Business Licensing Brixius reported that the City currently licenses waste haulers operating within the City, but there are no specific performance standards for those haulers. He stated that staff would like to see standards put in place to handle complaints, address liability and property damage, ensure compliance with State inspections, hours of operation, etc. Cocking inquired why the need for the ordinance had come up and why does the City need to license operators. Brixius explained that a license holds the operators accountable and can help with enforcement issues. Couri explained the ordinance keeps the operating hours consistent with the noise ordinance and Clerk Olson cited several operation issues/complaints that have come up in recent months. Hudson was concerned if the ordinance could be a means to move to a single waste hauler in the City. Brixius explained that was not the intent of the ordinance and they were seeking reasonable standards for operating within the City. Cocking inquired if there is a way to address compliance issues without a license. Nafstad felt the licensing piece allows the City to request information and verify insurance. Cocking wondered if there is a lessor standard to achieve the same thing; he wanted to be careful of adding additional requirements that may box out competition. Couri explained the various ways and means to gain compliance. He also stated that historically it is very difficult to go to a single hauler and that is not the intent of the ordinance. Hudson wanted to make sure the ordinance would not make it more difficult for a new waste hauler to begin operating with the City and Brixius replied that the intent is not to restrict the number of haulers and most haulers operate by similar standards. Couri suggested a slight modification to the language regarding when a holiday falls during the work week. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hendrickson, to adopt Ordinance 2017-04 an ordinance amending Title 4, Chapter 7 of the Albertville Municipal City Code relating to garbage and refuse collectors with amendment. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: Cocking. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Agenda Page 5 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the summary ordinance for publication. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2). Heidi’s Gas/Convenience Store Redevelopment – Discussion Brixius reported this is only informational for Council. Cielo Car Wash/Cielo Cleaning Services is the only interested party in the former Heidi’s site. They are interested in using the space for office, storage of commercial vehicles, and off-site cleaning services. They plan to keep the car wash and also provide detailing services. The car wash is an approved use under the current zoning, but the detailing service would require a conditional use permit. Brixius reported this redevelopment would require removal of the gas tanks and pumps, modification to the building, installation of a sprinkling system, reconstruction of the parking lot as well as conditional use permit processing through Planning Commission and City Council. The potential applicant is seeking Council feedback prior to submitting a formal application to the City. Cocking felt the site is small for such a redevelopment; he is not opposed to the plan, but is not sure it is the best use of the site. Brixius replied he would make sure to emphasize to the applicant that any storage would need to be screened and detailing services could not be done outdoors. Olson stated that the signage would need to be corrected. Council indicated they are not opposed to the redevelopment and directed staff to inform the applicant of what would be involved for redevelopment. B. Public Works/Engineering 1). CSAH 19 and 57th Street NE Signal and Pedestrian Improvements Nafstad reported the project includes shifting the median, replacing the signal and adding crosswalks. He is seeking authorization to advertise for bids. He stated the engineer’s estimate is approximately $260,000 and will come back to Council once bids are opened. Anticipated completion will be late summer or early fall. Hendrickson inquired if any power lines need to be buried and suggested if there are, it would be best to bury them during the project construction. Nafstad replied the project does not involve power line work. Hudson inquired about the signalization of the traffic lights. Nafstad replied that eventually all signals along CSAH 19 in Albertville will be coordinated. Motioned by Cocking, seconded Vetsch, to approve plans and specifications and authorize the advertisement for bids for the 2017 signal, crosswalk, and sidewalk improvements to the CSAH 19 and 57th Street NE Intersection. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2). MnDOT Partnership Master Contract Nafstad reported Albertville has always had a master agreement with MnDot for services and the contract is up for renewal this summer. He stated this is a general contract to provide technical services. He stated the contract had been important during the C-D road construction. The contract Agenda Page 6 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 is useful for those projects the City does not anticipate, such as testing. Contracts are only renewed every four years. He added this item is simply a housekeeping item. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to approve Resolution No 2017-012 Approving State of Minnesota and the City of Albertville Master Partnership Contract, MnDOT Agreement #1028368 contingent upon review by the City Attorney. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. C. City Clerk 1). Set 2017 Budget Workshops for July 17, August 7 and August 21, 2017 Clerk Olson reported that staff would like to set workshops for budget discussions. Nafstad reported that he is looking to have a goal setting workshop prior to the regular workshops to discuss some larger line items Council may want to consider. Hendrickson would like to set the first workshop at 6:00 p.m. and then see what would be needed for workshop start times after that. Hendrickson would like Council members to direct their questions to the City Administrator prior to the workshops to help move discussion along. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to set a budget workshop for July 17, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. D. Fire – None E. Finance – None F. Building – None G. Legal – None H. Administration 1). City Administrator’s Update Nafstad reported the City received a grant for improvements to Westwind Park in the amount of $150,000. The City will need to match those funds and work could possibly begin this year. Nafstad inquired if there will be a quorum at the July 3, 2017 City Council meeting. Hendrickson stated that they could call a meeting if items come up that need action right away. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to cancel the July 3, 2017 City Council meeting. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Hendrickson requested the Albertville Friendly City Days social hour be moved to 6:00 p.m. rather than 5:00 p.m. so that attendees could attend the Fitzsimmons wake. Clerk Olson responded staff will send out notification to those that were invited. Agenda Page 7 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 6 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 Nafstad reported that repairs are needed for the 51st Street NE cul-de-sac. He stated the cul-de-sac was designed to be temporary and then removed if and when the road is extended; however, it is unknown when that will occur. He estimates the repairs in the amount of $11,000. Council inquired about other options for permanent design and repairs to the cul-de-sac and Nafstad replied that he will come back with options. Nafstad reported that HSB Ventures, LLC will be requesting a PUD amendment for the Towne Lakes 6th Addition. Since materials for this were not submitted in time to hold the public hearing at the June 13 Planning Commission meeting, staff will present the item at Planning, but have Council hold the public hearing at their regular meeting on June 19. He anticipates that they will also apply for a preliminary and final plat for Towne Lakes 7th Addition. 9.

Respectfully submitted, ___________________________________ Kimberly A. Olson, City Clerk Agenda Page 8 Mayor and Council Request for Action P:\City Council\Council Packet Information\2017\061917\2017-06-19 Finance Bills Report (RCA).docx Meeting Date: June 19, 2017 June 15, 2017 SUBJECT: CONSENT - FINANCE – PAYMENT OF BILLS RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following: MOTION TO: Authorize the Monday, June 19, 2017 payment of the claims as presented except the bills specifically pulled, which are passed by separate motion. The claims listing has been provided to Council as a separate document. The claims listing is available for public viewing at City Hall upon request. BACKGROUND: The City processes claims on a semi-monthly basis. The bills are approved through their respective departments and administration and passed onto the City Council for approval. KEY ISSUES: • Account codes starting with 810 are STMA Arena Expenses/Vendors (bolded) and key issues will be presented in the claims listing document. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to review and approve payables on a semi-monthly basis. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: City staff has reviewed and recommends approval of payments presented. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve all bills pursuant to Minnesota State Law, which requires all bills to be paid in a timely manner, generally within 30 days unless one party determines to dispute the billing. Responsible Person: Tina Lannes, Finance Director Submitted through: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator-PWD Attachment: List of Claims (under separate cover) Agenda Page 9 P:\City Council\Council Packet Information\2017\061917\2017-06-19 WAC RCA.docx Meeting Date: June 19, 2017 Mayor and Council Request for Action _____________________________________________________________________________ June 15, 2017 SUBJECT: CONSENT – CITY CLERK – WATER AVAILABILITY CHARGE ORDINANCE RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider the following: MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance 2017-05 an ordinance amending the fee for Water Availability Charge (WAC Charge). BACKGROUND: During the last year, staff completed a comprehensive code assessment that addressed all City fees in the Albertville City Code. Upon review of the fees listed in that amendment, staff noted the WAC charge listed in the City Code referenced an outdated fee for the Joint Powers Water Board portion of the WAC charge. In the Code, it listed that $950 dollars of the WAC charge be credited to the City and $1882 of the charge be credited to the Joint Powers Water Board for a total fee of $2,832 per residential dwelling and nonresidential connections. The Joint Powers Water Board fee for 2017 is $2001. KEY ISSUES: • The WAC charge for Joint Powers Water Board can change annually. • To avoid costs to amend the City Code annually to reflect the change in WAC charge, staff recommends changing the language to reflect the annually adopted WAC charge for the Joint Powers Water Board. • This ordinance is a matter of housekeeping to ensure that the City recoups accurate WAC charges when development occurs. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to amend the City Code as needed. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is minimal cost to make the minor amendment. Responsible Person/Title: Kimberly Olson, City Clerk Submitted Through: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator-PWD Attachments: Ordinance 2017-05 Agenda Page 10 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE COUNTY OF WRIGHT STATE OF MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO.: 2017-05 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 9 (UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES), CHAPTER 1 (WATER AND SEWER ACCESS CHARGES) TO AMEND WATER AVAILABILITY CHARGE (WAC CHARGE) The City Council of the City of Albertville, Minnesota hereby ordains: Section 1.

Olson, City Clerk Agenda Page 12 4 PLANNING REPORT TO: Adam Nafstad FROM: Alan Brixius DATE: June 8, 2017 RE: Albertville – Towne Lakes 6th Addition PUD Amendment FILE NO: 163.06 – 17.03 BACKGROUND In 2005, the City of Albertville approved the Towne Lakes 6th Addition final plat. This plat is part of the larger Towne Lakes residential planned unit development and was approved with 42 townhome lots and six single family lots. As part of the larger PUD, the City approved the final plat with specific PUD conditions related to setbacks, specific building designs, landscape plans, that the development has to be part of the larger Towne Lakes homeowners association, and must be owner- occupied. Upon final plat approval, the final plat was recorded, a development contract signed, and the site was graded and utilities installed to serve each lot. Since 2005, the plat has been dormant. HSB Ventures LLC and Douglas A Carlson Development have acquired the site and hope to develop it with townhomes that fit within the final platted lots. They are proposing alternative townhome designs that provide some variety of housing styles but also expands the building footprints, presenting changes in some of the setbacks. The PUD amendment is required to accommodate the change in townhome designs and changing setbacks. Attached for reference: Exhibit A: 2005 Towne Lakes 6th Addition Final Plat Exhibit B: 2005 Overall Plan Exhibit C: 2005 Building Plans Exhibit D: Color Elevations Agenda Page 13 5 Exhibit E: Building Elevations Exhibit F1: Floor Plans Exhibit F2: Floor Plans Exhibit G: HOA Letter of Support Exhibit H1: New Concept Plan Exhibit H2: Concept Plan Overlay Exhibit I1: Landscape Plan Exhibit I2: Foundation Landscape Plan Exhibit I3: Median Landscape Plan ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Existing Plat. Exhibit A illustrates the existing Towne Lakes 6th Addition final plat. Exhibit B illustrates the utility and proposed private street layouts. The applicants wish to work within the existing platted lots. Building Design. The original townhome design is illustrated in Exhibit C. The townhome designs consist of all two-story townhomes. The new townhome design (see Exhibits D, E, F1, F2) proposes adding single story townhomes at the ends of each building. This feature offers the following: 1. Single level living is appealing to empty nester households who don’t wish to deal with stairways. 2. The single story units at each end of the townhome building provide for a more aesthetically pleasing building by breaking up the monotony of the previous building design. 3. The building elevations provide an attractive street appeal by the use of a variety of exterior façade materials and colors. A durable Smart siding will be used for the horizontal lap siding, the board and batten, and the shake siding. This is a durable, low maintenance material that will ensure an attractive appearance. The Towne Lakes Association has reviewed the plan set and approved the designs with a June 5, 2017 letter (see Exhibit G). 4. Building covered entryways facing the adjoining public street will be accented with cultured stone, providing a strong street appeal. The applicants should provide information with regard to crawl spaces or storm rooms for protection against severe storms. Streets. The original 6th Addition PUD required public streets to be constructed at a width of 28 feet, measured to back of curb with parking, with parking restricted to one side of the street. Lancaster has been constructed to this dimension. We would recommend parking on the west side of the street so as not to interfere with the single family driveways. Agenda Page 14 6 A private drive was approved with a minimum width of 22 feet. The proposed site plan shows a private street narrower than 22 feet. This must be adjusted to reflect a 22 foot drive surface. This private drive must be signed “no parking” fire lane. Setbacks. The original 6th Addition PUD established the following setbacks for the townhome development: Front Yard Setback. Sixteen feet. The front yard setback for the townhome development is the building side facing the public street. The design is intended to bring the buildings’ porches toward the street and provide sidewalk connections to the public sidewalk. The townhome buildings meet the 16 foot setback for units having front entrances facing the public street. The applicant is seeking flexibility from this standard for the south building along 68th Street which is 12.3 feet from both Linwood Drive and Lancaster Way. They also seek flexibility from this setback for the units that are closest to 70th Street. This setback is 14 feet. In considering this setback flexibility, it should be noted this is a side wall of the building with only a single window opening. There will be no access or activities in this reduced setback area. Garage Setback from Private Street. The original PUD required townhome garages to be set back 25 feet from the private street. The applicants’ proposed site plan provides a 22 foot setback from the private street. This is a PUD flexibility requested by the developer. Staff is supportive of this development. PUD District Setbacks. The following are PUD required setbacks. Deviation from these standards require a variance: • Setback between buildings shall not be less than the sum of the heights of two adjoining buildings divided by two. The proposed townhome end units have a height of 14 feet, requiring a setback of 14 feet. The site plan shows a setback between buildings of eight feet. • The PUD requires a 15 foot setback from the internal private drive. The site plan shows an 8.3 foot side yard setback from private drive 1. In considering a variance from the PUD standards, the following criteria must be met: 1. Does the variance allow for reasonable use of the property? In considering the variance, the City should consider the overall neighborhood design. This project has been stagnant since its approval in 2005. Alternative, less desirable development concepts have been offered for this site. The current development proposal is consistent with the intended land use and architectural requirements of the larger Towne Lakes PUD. Agenda Page 15 7 2. The practical difficulty of the site is the configuration and size of the approved final plat. This was designed for a specific housing product. The physical features of the site constrain the City’s and developer’s ability to promote a superior housing product. 3. Building Codes have been changed since the original 6th Addition approval. Building Codes have been changed that mandate that row townhomes have a fire suppression system. Additionally, the applicants’ architect is proposing additional fire wall protection where buildings are only eight feet apart. These features reduce the need for a greater building separation. 4. The eight foot separation from private streets are side yard setbacks. This side of the building has few openings and no building access or activity areas will be occurring in this reduced setback. 5. The requested setback variances are internal to the development and will not change the essential character of the 6th Addition or larger Towne Lakes neighborhoods. 6. These requested variances are exclusively unique to the Towne Lakes 6th Addition due to the past development history, the physical configuration of the plat, and existing conditions unique to this site. In this respect, the variances will not be a precedent to any new development elsewhere in the City. Parking and Garages. The City requires two enclosed stalls for every townhome unit (minimum garage size of 480 square feet). The applicants propose a garage size of 20 feet wide and 22 feet deep, for a floor area of 440 square feet. While this does not meet the City’s current standards, it is consistent with other garage sizes of the 2005 PUD approval. In addition to the garages, the driveways are 22 feet long, offering two additional parking spaces and the site plan offers another 11 parking spaces throughout the neighborhood. While the private drive must be signed “no parking”, Lancaster Way will offer short term parking on one side of the street. Landscape Plan. Exhibit I1 is the proposed landscape plan. The plan is consistent with the landscape plan of the larger Towne Lakes PUD, providing boulevard trees, a landscape buffer along 70th Street, and a plan for foundation plantings around the townhomes. In review of the landscape plan, we offer the following comments: 1. The proposed species of trees appear to meet the City’s list of preferred trees. We will require the plants to be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director regarding the type and location of boulevard trees. 2. The tree and shrub sizes meet City standards. Agenda Page 16 8 3. The landscape plan provides shrub hedges along the proposed parking spaces and at the ends of the dead-end private streets to screen headlight glare. 4. The landscaped areas will be irrigated for watering of trees, shrubs and sodded areas. 5. The plan includes both a six foot vinyl fence and plantings along single family lot 44 to provide privacy and separation between the townhomes and the single family home. 6. We would recommend the removal of the boulevard tree and the western most evergreen tree from the west end of the landscape buffer yard to preserve sight lines onto 70th Street. 7. We would recommend that the Black Hills Spruce planted in front of Units 8 and 9 and Units 32 and 33 be replaced with a deciduous tree to preserve traffic sight lines along the private drive. 8. The landscape plan must address the intended plantings or ground cover between the building with only an eight foot separations. 9. The foundation planting plan (Exhibit I2) shows a rock mulch between the driveways. This does not work for maintenance or snow plowing. In conversation with the applicants, this area will be changed out to a concrete gutter to define the driveway edges, accommodate downspouts, and maintain the driveway’s paved edge. 10. The applicants are requesting that sidewalk improvements and landscaping on the outlot west of Linwood not be installed with the 6th Addition, rather be tied to the replatting and commercial development of that outlot. Staff can agree to this term in that any current improvement may interfere with future outlot development or may be damaged during construction of this outlot. Association and Common Lots. The 6th Addition is part of a larger master PUD and in itself has a number of shared common features that require attention with regard to design, ownership, operations, and management. The following items will be required to address these issues: 1.

Box 369 St. Michael, MN 55376 (763) 497-1930 Agenda Page 41 Agenda Page 42 Page 1 of 2 Couri & Ruppe, P.L.L.P. Memo To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council From: Mike Couri Date: June 15, 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 going to the School District’s bond counsel for review. • Mutual Aid/Emergency Reimbursement Ordinance. Chief Bullen and I presented the uniform mutual aid agreement and model reimbursement ordinance at the May Wright County Fire Chiefs’ Association meeting and asked the fire chiefs to take the documents back to their Cities for approval. A few of the chiefs Agenda Page 43 Page 2 of 2 have come back with questions and Chief Bullen and I are addressing those. I expect most, if not all, cities will be adopting both the mutual aid agreement and the reimbursement ordinance. I will be appearing at the July Wright County Township Officers’ meeting to encourage all Townships in Wright County to adopt the same reimbursement ordinance since many of the potential hazardous spills on Wright County’s highways and railroads can occur in the Townships. • Prairie Run Lots. Fieldstone Family Homes is in the process of closing on four more of the Prairie Run tax foreclosure lots. When these lots close, that will bring the total closed lots to 11 out of 15 lots. Agenda Page 44 City Administrator’s Update June 15, 2017 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION Arena Board: The updated JPA/ownership/operations agreement is currently being reviewed by staff from each entity and will be presented to the Arena Board at their July meeting. Towne Lakes 6th and 7th: The PUD amendment and variance for Towne Lakes 6th Addition was presented to the Planning Commission last week. The formal public hearing will be held on Monday at the Council meeting. At the second meeting in July, drainage and utility easement vacations will be presented. We continue to expect a preliminary and final plat application for the 7th Addition in the coming month. Second Sheet of Ice: The School District is working to finalize the conceptual design of the new facility. City staff has met with the architect to discuss the city application and review process and is anticipating a mid-summer application. Karston Cove 4th Addition: Centra Homes is working on a single-family detached townhome concept and will potentially be making a development application this summer. Assessment Option for Private Driveways: A few residents along this year’s project have inquired if the city could replace their driveway and be assessed for the work. I would like to discuss this with the Council, but generally believe this is a good option to offer residents who may be interested. License Agreement: Included on the agenda is an agreement to license a shed within a drainage and utility easement. If approved, the agreement will be recorded on the property with the County Recorder. ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS Repairs to 51st Street NE Cul De Sac: We are reviewing options to improvement this temporary dead-end and will report back to the Council. Montgomery Property: The Excelsior Group has submitted a formal development application to St. Michael and will be presented to the St. Michael Council at their July 11 meeting. Albertville staff is reviewing our requested drainage improvements, Albertville’s sewer availability, and is working to draft an agreement to sell bulk sewer to the proposed development. The agreement will be presented at the July 17 Council meeting. Otsego Truck Stop: The traffic impact study is available on the City of Otsego’s website. Agenda Page 45 City Administrator’s Update Page 2 of 2 June 15, 2017 2017 Street and Trail Improvements Project: Construction is underway and the Contractor is currently removing the old boulevard trails. Next week drain tile will be installed in the boulevard where the new walks will be placed and construction of the new sidewalk will follow. Street work will begin once all sidewalk and boulevard work is complete. Mall of Entertainment-AUAR: We have received the draft AUAR and are meeting with the development team next week. CSAH 37 and I-94 Signal and Striping Revisions: Wright County has identified this as a 2017 County project. WWTF: The renewal of the MPCA permit and MPCA that required mercury minimization plan has been submitted. I will be scheduling a workshop to provide an update and discuss discharge requirement options. Ballfield Lighting: The lights are working and Public Works is restoring the disturbed areas.

CSAH 19 and 57th Street Signal Improvements: The project is out for bid and bids will be presented to the Council at the July 17 meeting. Agenda Page 46
