• ' ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
April 2, 2001
Albertville City Hall 7.00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor John Olson, Councilmembers LeRoy Berning, Keith Franklin, Scott
Wallace, and John Vetsch, City Engineer Peter Carlson, City Attorney Mike Couri, and City
Administrator -Clerk Linda Goeb
Mayor Olson called the regular meeting of the Albertville City Council to order.
The agenda was amended by adding the following:
• Item 4c(4) — Albertville Off Sale, LLC
• Item 5d(3) — Drainage on 57th Street and Lambert Avenue
Vetsch made a motion to adopt the agenda as amended. Franklin seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
The minutes of the March 19th meeting were amended on Page 3, Paragraph 4 to read
"thirty days" instead of "three days". Berning made a motion to approve the minutes of the
March 19, 2001, meeting as amended. Wallace seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Franklin made a motion to approve the minutes of the March 28, 2001, joint meeting with
the St. Michael City Council as presented. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
• Scott Larson, 6138 Kalland Circle, addressed the Council during Citizen Forum with his
concerns over the location of the garbage dumpsters and the lack of screening between the
residential lots in Westwind Addition and the commercial lots in the Albertville Plaza plat.
Larson understands that the site plan was approved contingent upon the developer relocating the
dumpster and providing a revised site plat to sow the new location. He, however, believes that
the landscaping plan will still not adequately screen the residential lots.
Steve Koeneke questioned whether the Albertville Plaza was allowed to have a fast food
use. He understood from attending the Planning Commission that a fast food use was not
allowed. City Administrator Goeb explained that the Council reversed the Planning
Commission's recommendation to deny a fast food use on the site.
Robert Drewelow expressed his concerns regarding the lack of fencing between the
commercial and residential properties.
Wallace made a motion to have Cindy Sherman, City Planner, attend the next meeting to
provide an update on the final landscaping and/or fencing and site plans. Franklin seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Berning requested that Check #14409 be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed
under the Administration department.
Berning made a motion to approve payment of Check #'s 14378 — 11408 and Check #'s
14410 — 14444 as presented. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.

• Dave Vetsch, representing the Albertville Fire Department, explained that he is unable to
continue issuing burning permits for the Fire Department and requested that Council consider
authorizing Tim Guimont to issue the permits.

burning permits for the City. Wallace seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council directed Tim to attend the next meeting to discuss what options are available
for the exterior of the park shelter. The Council is interested in the potential of sand blasting the
concrete rather than painting the exterior.
Vetsch made a motion to accept the Public Works Department Report as presented.
Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Engineer Pete Carlson briefly updated the Council on the progress on the Towne
Lakes wetland permits issues. Hopefully, the one remaining issue can be worked on at the next

if the Council wishes to proceed with constructing the City Industrial Park improvements during
2001.
• Carlson explained that S.E.H. will replace the curb at the 57th Street and Lambert Avenue
at no cost to the City in order to correct the drainage problem. Carlson anticipated the work to be
completed by the end of April or early May.

• City Attorney Mike Couri reviewed the assessment reallocation to the Savitski properties
resulting from the 30% reduction an earlier City Council approved.
Franklin made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #2001-9 titled RESOLUTION FOR
HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSEMENT, scheduling the public hearing for 7:15 PM on
May 7, 2001. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Couri explained that his law firm has been presented an RFP for the City of Hanover.
Couri indicates that the position may have a very small potential of conflict of interest since both
Hanover and Albertville are members of the Joint Powers Water Board. Should the Council feel
it would be inappropriate for Couri & MacArthur to purse the RFP, Couri indicated he would not
proceed. The consensus of the Council is that the City of Albertville does not object to his
response for an RFP.
The Council reviewed the two contracts for a market evaluation study of the city -owned
property north of the outlet mall. John Darkenwald was present and indicated that he will
commit to proceeding on his commercial development simultaneously with the construction of
services through the City owned land.
Wallace made a motion to approve the contract for a market study evaluation with
Maxwell Research at a cost of $8,000, with the final report available by the first meeting in May.
• Franklin seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Dave McGilrey and Paul Steinman from Springsted, Inc. appeared before the Council to
answer any questions the Council may have regarding the appointment of one financial advisor.
The council will act on the financial advisor appointment at the next meeting.
Wallace volunteered to serve on a committee with Councilmember Berning to work with
MNDOT regarding interstate access.
Franklin made a motion to authorize the building inspector to "red flag" any construction
where the required silt fencing and rock driveway are not present. Berning seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to pay Check #14409 to Verizon Telecommunications and to
give the Nextel phone used by the secretary/receptionist to the Fire Department to replace the
two cell phones the Fire Department currently uses. Franklin seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Franklin made a motion to adjourn at 9:10 PM. Wallace seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
