5 development, to no less than $44,835 conditioned on any outstanding balances owed to the
City being paid in full.
BACKGROUND: Tate Baxter, of CentraNorth, LLC, has requested a reduction to the Letter of
th
Credit held for Karston Cove 5 Addition. The Letter of Credit is held as performance and
warranty security for the road and utility repairs and various site improvements and is currently
in the amount of $108,780.
Assuming the developer is current with all fees owed to the City and based on work completed to
date, it is recommended that Letter of Credit No. 631834603 be reduced to no less than $44,835.
The reduced balance is believed to be sufficient surety and is consistent with the development
agreement.
KEY ISSUES:
This reduction does not constitute acceptance of improvements.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy to have all Letter of Credit reductions
approved by the City Council
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial implications for this request
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the legal authority under the development
agreement to reduce the Letter of Credit upon completion of the required improvements or deny
requests for reduction if the required improvements are found unacceptable.

RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2018-034 entitled Resolution Adopting Driveway
Improvement Assessment.
BACKGROUND: In July of 2018 the City Council approved the driveway replacement
program. In 2018 we had a one homeowner request to use the program to replace their
driveway. According to the policy, the City would pay the contractor and the cost of the
improvement would be specially assessed to the property.
The terms of the special assessment option offered to the homeowners was that the special
assessment would be payable over five (5) years with a 5.8% interest rate. The first installment
would be payable with the 2019 taxes payable.
KEY ISSUES:
The City has the statutory right to special assess improvements.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: City staff has reviewed and recommends approval of the
certification list.

SUBJECT: F
–2019EBRI
INANCE NTERPRISE UDGETS AND ATE NFORMATION
BACKGROUND: Annually, the Enterprise Budgets (water, sewer, storm water and
recycling) starts in June with staff preparing estimates and projections for the following
year’s preliminary or draft budget. Staff reviews the preliminary budget and amends
monthly through October. This allows staff to see actual revenues for usage through
September of each year. The enterprise budgets do not have a tax levy but rather are
funded by usage and rates. In review of the 2019 budget there is not a recommendation
to increase rates for 2019.
KEY ISSUES:
1. The 2019 Enterprise budgets will go into effect January 1, 2019 as presented
unless there is a request for change.
2. Staff compared water and sewer rates to surrounding cities based on 6,000 gallons
of residential water used. No rate increase proposed for 2019.

Memo
To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council
From: Mike Couri
Date: November 19, 2018
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. We have reached a tentative agreement with Charter’s field staff
on the Charter Franchise renewal. It is currently being reviewed by Charter’s legal
thrd
staff and will be on the November 19 or December 3 agenda, depending upon
how quickly Charter’s legal department can turn the document around.
Maeyaert Nuisance Complaint. We have inspected the Maeyaert property and
are preparing to file a summary judgment motion in the current court case. If the
motion is granted, the Court’s order would require Maeyaert to clean up the
property or the City will be authorized to remove all junk, equipment and excess
trailers from the property.
WWTP Discharge Easements. One easement has been signed, and the second
easement will likely be signed any day now.
Barthel Property Purchase. We are ready to close on the Mark Barthel house as
soon as we have a signed easement purchase agreement with the dance studio.

City Administrator’s Update
November 15, 2018
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
2018 General Election: Albertville had 2289 voters at the poll on Election Day and 678 absentee
voters leading up to the election for a total of 71% voter turnout. Election results were
successfully canvassed on November 13 and are now official. Please welcome Councilmember-
Elect Rebecca Halling to the City Council. Both her and Councilmember Olson will serve a four-
year term through December 31, 2022 with Mayor Hendrickson serving a two-year term
through December 31, 2020. The official oath of office will occur at the first meeting in January.
I-94 Funding: Federal BUILD Grant candidates have yet to be announced. If selected, this would
provide additional funds to complete the added lanes between CR 19 and CR 37, as well as
replacement of the CR 19 bridge.
Legislative Service Agreement: Included as an agenda item is a renewal contract with LGN for
services through 2019. The agreement includes state and federal representation at
$3,750/month. We saw remarkable success in 2018 with over $56 million through Corridors of
Commerce and an application submittal for $10 million in federal dollars. 2019’s focus will be
continued focus on primarily those two programs.
Enterprise Budgets: Water, sewer, storm and recycling budgets for 2019 are included as an
agenda item for review. No rate increases are proposed at this time.
Centennial Planning: The Parks Committee met on October 22 to continue discussion on
planning for the September 21, 2019 centennial event. Community organizations were invited
and the group is working to find organizations and individuals who would like to help plan the
100-year event. The next meeting is November 26 and all are welcome.
Hanover Food Shelf: Residents may sign up to donate the savings they receive for ebills and
ACH payments to the Hanover Food Shelf. A check for $227.26 was mailed to the food shelf
this week in order to provide assistance with Thanksgiving holiday meals.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
Watermain Break: This past weekend we had a watermainbreak in the vicinity of Mobil Gas /
Caribou/Subway. Public Works scheduled and notified business of an emergency repair for 3
a.m. on Monday (Veteran’s Day) anticipating the repair would be complete before the morning
rush. Unfortunately, once exposed, the repair was more extensive than planned and more
customers than planned needed to be temporarily shut off. Service was restored to all
customers by approximately 3:30 p.m. Oneof the complications that arose during the repair
was failing valves upstream of the break, including a valve in CSAH 19. PW has this valve
schedule to be replaced in the spring.
I-94 Improvements: We are working with MnDOT and their consultants in preparation of a
2019 construction start. MnDOT will be issuing an RPF for design-build yet this year and
Agenda Page 27
anticipates selecting the construction team in March. Items being discussed generally include
CSAH 19 bridge design, construction staging and potential closures, local share, and municipal
consent.
CSAH 19 and CSAH 38 Project: The project design is progressing well and the County is on
schedule to bid the project this winter to allow for spring construction. I anticipate having a
cost share agreement for Council to review at the next meeting. Also, we are working with the
Mall to improve its access as part of the project, as well as, The Shoppes of Townes Lakes I to
provide an additional right-out style access onto the CSAH 19 just north of D. Michael B’s.
th
70 Street (West of CSAH19): Staff from Albertville and Otsego are working with MnRoad to
th
see if there is a possibility to partner on a project to improve the 1 mile segment of 70
between Kadler and CSAH 19. The concept includes the two cities building a half mile segment
as an urban three lane road and MnRoad building a half mile segment as a rural two lane road
using modern-day recycling processes and monitoring the performance of the segment.
CSAH 37 (West of CR19):The County is well underway withpreliminary design of the CSAH 37
improvements between CSAH 19 and CSAH 18. As we learn more about the timing of the I-94
improvement we will evaluate whether or not this project should be pushed back.
Upcoming Events:
Vonnie Waters Anniversary Celebration, November 21, 11:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., Senior
Center. All are welcome.
