JOINT MEETING
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
AND
OTSEGO CITY COUNCIL
April 29, 1991

7:30 PM
PRESENT FROM THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE: Mayor Jim Walsh,
Councilmen Mark Barthel, Duane Berning, and Donatus Vetsch, City
Clerk Linda Houghton, Engineer Thore Meyer
otsego Mayor Norm Freske called the meeting to order.
The purpose of the joint meeting is to discuss the cities'
attempt to get an off ramp at the intersection of Interstate 94 and
County Road 19. Thore has set up a meeting for 1:00 PM on Tuesday,
May 7, 1991, to discuss the issue with MNDOT at the Brainerd
office. Thore suggested that MNDOT may be more receptive to the
request if both cities, as well as some of the developers who will
benefit, are willing to contribute to the cost of the project.
Attorney Bill Radzwill recommended that traffic studies from
the past 20-30 years be presented to MNDOT at the meeting. Thore
will contact Wayne Fingalson from Wright County to get any valuable
information to present to MNDOT.
Otsego Mayor Norm Freske will attend the meeting with MNDOT,
along with any other Otsego Council members who can be available.
The Council discussed the charges from Otsego for grading the
pond road in Albertville. The City of Otsego currently charges $75
per hour for grading work. Otsego maintenance personnel indicated
that blading in Albertville is usually done once a week and it
takes approximately 35 minutes each time.
Otsego would prefer that the fire contract with Albertville
be based on the actual percentage of fire calls made to Otsego.
Mayor Walsh brought to the Otsego Council's attention that
Albertville has not yet received payment for Otsego's 1990 fire
protection.
There was an agreement that the two cities would notice each
other of developments or actions taking place in one city that may
effect the other.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 PM.
