The minutes of the March 19th meeting were reviewed by the Ca.m.cil. Ken brought to the Council's attention that a correction needed to be made on page 5. the 4th paragraph. The sentence should read: "They need to make sure the stub is on the end one. " Hearing no other corrections or additions. Donatus Vetsch made a JOOtion to approve the minutes of March 19th. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Ca.m.cil fi.rst heard fran the Lions President. Tony Bistodeau concerning the City Park. Tony told the Ca.m.cil that the Lions were app:r"Oa('..hed by the Park Board and were asked. to donate shelters for the Four Seasons Park. The Lions want to know if the City is finished with the City Park. The service organizations feel that they should donate where the donation is most needed.. The City Park is done as it is now. It is possible that the City may be l<X>k.ing at another field and perhaps some improvement to the hockey rink some time in the future. Right now. we are really out of roan wt there may be BaDe options in park dedication land fran the storm water drainage issue. A Ca.m.cil member asked. about the dugouts and bleachers. The Jaycees are donating these items to the City Park. Tony asked. the Ca.m.cil if there would be any additional brlldings added to the City Park. He was answered that there <XJUld possibly be some upgrading of the current wildings brt no new brlldings are proposed for the near future . . . . Ca.m.cil member Jim Krystosek told Lions President Tony BistOOeau that the Lions were doing a good job and that the City appreciates their support in the <:xmIIlni ty . The Ca.m.cil heard fran the Maintenance ~partment. Ken discussed the pond transfer PJIQP with the Council. He is not satisfied with the results he is getting fran the quotes he has :requested on the cost of the pond transfer PJIQP. He would like more time to look at more options. He noted that the old PJIQP was again operational so that he can move water. The single phase ~ horsepower motor will not fit and he will wait 1.IDtil Bob Sullentrop is available to find out about the generator. Some of the costs being looked. at right now are fran $13,~ to $17.~ and are way too big and DIJCh. too expensive. Ken has found two mrlts for between $a.fiB' to $W.~ and he is looking into these. IbnatuB asked whether or not Ken has checked on a PJIQP for the Ford tractor and Ken replied that it is not feasible - we can not tie up the tractor for that long of a time period. Ken mentioned to the Council that Jim Becher is working 5 1/2 hours a day and all day on Friday. Ken would like the Ca.m.cil to authorize overtime for Jim if he is needed to work some extra hours. He would be paid his straight time. Gary carmetlted that he saw no need for any overtime for Jim at this time. The drainage problem along 1-94 and in Frankfort Township was discussed. Ken told the Ca.m.cil that approximately $2.~ was spent last year draining water fran this ditch.. It:now appears that this could be a continuing problem and the City should meet with Frankfort's Town Board to discuss what can be done about repairing this d.rai.nage problem since Frankfort Township is alsonresponsible. Thore said that he feels it could possibly be a crushed drain tile out in the Township saoewhere. Locating just where the plug up is will prove to be difficult. The Ca.m.cil agreed that Maureen should set up a meeting with Frankfort Township soon as this problem needs to be resolved. Ken qpdated the Council on the projects at hand. Ken :reported that in a conversation with Heiny's Diggers about the irrigation system for the new park. they could put a 6" water main into the Four Seasons Park off of the hydrant behind the curb. The line will cane off of the northwest corner of the cul-de-sac and across the easement. ThiB would be a straight shot of 170 feet of iron and two shut off valves. They will not have to break into the street. The cost would be $6.995 which would not -2- . . . include the restoration. It is possible that the City will have to furnish the water to the Park. It was noted that the cost for this project will cane out of the Equipnent Certificate. Before making any decisions on this issue. the Council agreed that Ken should get a couple of more quotes on this project. No further action was taken. The Maintenance overtime was reviewed by the Ca.m.cil. The overtime for the Park was questioned. It was stated that what sense did it make to have a Park Board to get these jobs done and inBtead they were being done on overtime. It was felt that the overtime for these kinds of things was getting out of hand. Ken replied that the overtime for the Park was for Illtting together the playground equi,pnent list and park irrigation conversations. He said that there are just too many interruptions during the day to accomplish these things. He tried. for three meetings with the Park Board to get them to structure the equipnent list rot they did not even di..sa1ss. Ken also told the Council that he donates enough time to the City that he does not charge and he is extremely unhappy about the overtime that he does Illt in being scruti.nized all the time. The Council decided that the time was Illt in so Ken should be paid for it. rot the Park Board should handle some of these things from now on. A motion was made by IbnatuB Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krysto6ek to approve the Maintenance overtime. All were in favor and the motion carried.. Thore Meyer of Meyer-Roblin reviewed with the Ca.m.cil two potential footprints for a future City Hall on the same site as our existing brllding as requested by the City Ca.m.cil. Thore noted that he had laid out two different proposals demonstrating two different parking configurations. The first design showed an access off of Main Avenue and the alley in the rear of the property. With this design the maxiDum footprint of the building can not exceed 2, Bl'E square feet to allow for adequate parking. The other footprint presented has the parking access off the alley and allows for a building to be sized at 3.4321 square feet. In both of these instances the basic assumption is the the property could be rezoned fran R-3 to a :&-4 Zoning District, which would allow for no front yard setbacks. No action was taken on this information since it was an informational item only. The two representatives of the Council who met with the different -3- . . . service organizations will take this footprint back to their next meeting to show that the City will not likely need any additional land for a future brllding site. Dennis Fehn informed the City that there will enough excess dirt from the Fraser Steel project to use along the storm drainage sewer line that rmlB from H. G.P. and Truss. They will charge $1.95 a cubic yard installed and leveled out. 5200 Street will probably have to be bridged in order to accomplish this task. The Ca.m.cil agreed that the City should go ahead and utilize this dirt. Thore will be in touch with Fehn before the work begins to determine the yardage. It was also noted that the cost will cane out of the Tax Increment Financing money that was allotted for this project. Jim Krystosek made the motion to approve the Plt"Chase of the dirt from the Fraser Steel project at a cost of $1.95 a cubic yard in place. Bob Braun secxxrled the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The next item on the agenda was legal. Bob informed the Ca.m.cil that there were BaDe issues that had arisen regarding the Barthel Industrial Park . It was noted that there were several documents that needed to approved. by the Ca.m.cil so that the IEP Glass Carv?anY cxW.d be resold. Bob reviewed with the Ca.m.cil the documents that needed to be approved prior to their adoption. IbnatuB Vetsch made a IOOtion which was secxxrled by Bob Braun to approve the resolution to ratify the action of the City of Albertville in transferring Lot 4. Block: 2 of Barthel's Industrial Park as evidenced by J.e:rl Document No 391765 to W &: B ~velopoent Partnership. All were in favor and the motion carried. . A motion was then made by Jim 1{rystosek and secxxrled by Ihnatus Vetsch to release Lot 4. Block: 2 of any restrictions fran the Developer's Agreement for the i.Q>rovements associated with Barthel Industrial Park. All were in favor and the motion carried. A motion was made by Bob Braun and secxxrled by Jim Krystosek to approve the extracts of the minutes fran the November 19. 1984. All were in favor and the motion carried.. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Becker were Present to express their ooncem regarding the home that is currently under construction at 5146 Lannon because of the fact that they still own a small section of land at the corner or Lannon Avenue and 51st Street. In reviewing the :arllding Permit for the site it was noted that Barthel Construction has the services caning acI"06S the Becker's property. Thore noted -4- . . . that he believed that the properties services are located on Lannon Avenue and not 51st. It was noted that there appeared to be several problems with the Wilding site and it was suggested that Kevin hold off on making any additional inspections on the property until the issue could be cleared up. A motion was made to have Kevin pxt a stop work order on the construction of the house at 5146 Lannon Avenue until the issue is clarified. The motion was made by IbnatuB Vetsch and ~ by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried. The :in.caDe :received and the bills to be paid were reviewed by the Ca.m.cil. There were no pertinent questions so a motion was made by Bob Bra1.m and seconded by Jim .Krystosek to approve the :in.caDe :received and the bills to be paid. All were in favor and checks 0050 through 10384 were paid. The Ca.m.cil discussed briefly the forming of a St. Michael-Albertville- Hanover Area Chamber of CaIme:roe. There is a meeting scheduled. for Wednesday, April 4th at 7 p.m. at Russel's in St. Michael to talk about the forming of this chamber. There appears to be BaDe controversy with Albertville's Developnent Corporation. The Developnent Corporation feels that the City should take a stand against forming any Chamber of CaIme:roe in our area because we have our own Developnent Corporation. It was brought out that a Developnent Corporation is OPerated through the purc,hase of shares and anybody can :rurchase the shares. A Developnent Corporation does not do all of the same things that Chambers do. Under a Chamber of CaIme:roe title. cities would qualify for available money fran the National Chambers. It was felt that the City of Albertville should not take a stand one way or another at this point. The City will be approached. b.J.t the Ca.m.cil felt it was best if the City does not offer too JJIlCb. opinion at this time. It was agreed. that Maureen should attend this meeting and that she should check with St. Michael and Hanover to see if they are attending. Maureen qpdated the Ca.m.cil on the garbage collection and recycling issue. Maureen will pxt an information item in the paper to let people know what is going on with garbage collection and recycling. The city will be paying an $82.50 cost for a hot staJnp for the recycling containers that says "Albertville Recycles." We will be getting bids fran Polka lht and Wright Recycling to do the recycling pick up in Albertville. The City would I"eOCUlelld every other week pick up and not two times a JOOIlth. -5- . . . The Ca.m.cil recoomended that Maureen p~ a notice to be Plt in the local newspaper and a notice to residents explaining what will be happening with the garbage collection and recycling issue. The Ca.m.cil also suggested that a three JOOllth calendar showing the recycling dates be prepared for the residents to have at their disposal in order to make it easier for them to remember the recycling dates. Approval of a 3.2 limited beer license for the Albertville Lions was handled. next. IbnatuB Vetsch made a motion to approve a limited 3.2 beer license for the Albertville Lions Spring Dinner Dance on April 21st at the Parish Center. Jim Krystosek seconded. the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. It was noted that application and payment have already been made. Ma.ureen qpdated the Ca.m.cil on the progress of the intern. Right now the situation is on hold. There are several cities interested in Diane as she is the only intern available right now. Ma.ureen will be kept posted on what is happening . It was brought to the Ca.m.cil' s attention that the residents are confused about the sealcoating. It was suggested that sealCXXlting information should be Plt in the newspaper to make people more aware of the sealCXXlting process. The 1989 Planning and Zoning Annual Report was included in the packet for the Ca.m.cil' s review. There was no other b.1siness so a motion to adjourn was made by Ibnatus Vetsch and seconded. by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the meeting adjourned.. '--(Ylo.l.\J\cy\\1 Uv\C'k ~kj~ -6-
