City Attorney Couri told the Council that the Fire Department Personnel Investigation report has been received. The technical evaluation report is still not yet ready. Couri recommends dealing with both investigations at one time in a closed session to be scheduled as soon as the technical evaluation is received. Public Works Supervisor Tim Guimont reported that he has contacted the Metropolitan Mosquito Control Board. They do not provide mosquito control outside the metro area. They recommended that Mosquito Dunks, a natural, organic and non-toxic devise be places in areas of standing water when mosquito larvae are present. The cost of the device is $25.00 for a 20-pack, and each pack covers 2,000 square feet. The Council agreed to have an article regarding the devices in the next newsletter. . Ti also reported that a sidewalk along Main Avenue was dug up to put in sewer and water into a new home. The homeowner wants to wait until fall to replace the sidewalk. Tim wants it to be replaced now. Couri suggested that the City require property owner to properly replace the sidewalk immediately. If the sidewalk breaks up or sags, the contractor who installs the sidewalk will be required to replace or repair it, or the City may fix it and assess the costs to the property owner.

City Attorney Couri was directed to investigate the landscaping section of the Subdivision Ordinance to determine how long the developer is required to provide escrow for the trees along the boulevard of Karston Avenue NE. City Engineer Pete Carlson showed the Council a concept layout for Winter Park. The concept shows a picnic shelter, play structure, basketball court, a Little League ball field, and a volleyball court. There is not a sliding hill shown on concept plan. This concept plan uses only the park land to be dedicated. If the concept is adequate, the city will not need to buy additional land from the developer of the proposed RI-A development. The Council's consensus is that the size of the park as shown is adequate and they will not purchase additional park land from the developer. . Carlson also provided the Council with an Albert Villas Park Concept Plan, which includes soccer field, little league baseball field, trails, and a play structure. Grading should be done in . Albertville City Council Minutes June 2, 2003 Page 3 of 4 August so that the area could be seeded in early September, The Council would also prefer to see an open park shelter should included in the layout. Carlson presented the proposal for a trail along 50th Street as ajoint project with the City of St. Michael. Cost of the project, excluding easement acquisition, is $178,524.00. The trail would be on the north side of 50th Street, and includes widening existing sidewalk along 50th Street to six feet. The project requires the acquisition of 21,000 square feet in the city limits, plus additional land in the St. Michael city limits. The Council directed Carlson to continue with the project. Carlson updated the Council on the drainage issues north of the Commercial Park. The water level has gone down 9.5 inches. The drainage is improving and the lake elevation is going down. The dredging of the ditch on the west side of the outlet mall will not be accomplished until the necessary approvals are granted. Responding to Erwin Greninger, Carlson anticipated it may take up to a month for the water to be drained. . Although it was not the plan, the contractor hired to clean the ditch to the lakes was allowed to clean from the south side of the outlet mall, rather than from the north, and placed the dredged material on the high part of ditch,. That property is currently being rented for farmland by Bob Heuring. Heuring claims the land is now unfarmable and S.E.H. has offered compensation for 1,500 sq. ft. of damages, or $500. Heuring has proposed that the City reimburse him $2,850, for his land rent and the loss of crop, and he would not farm the property this year due to the difficulty in getting his farm equipment on CSAH 19 during its reconstruction. Berning made a motion to have S.E.H. pay Heuring $500 in crop damage in the 1,500 sq. ft. disturbed by the dredged materials. The City denies his proposal to pay Heuring for not farming the additional land. Peterson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Carlson presented figures showing that WWTF capacity with and without shared services to the City of Otsego. Carlson's time frame shows that by November 2005 construction on the upgrade to the plant should be done, but the plant will be at capacity almost immediately depending upon ifthere is shared service to Otsego. If the Council wishes to share sewer service with Otsego, Peter recommends limiting the flow to 70,000 gallons per day (perhaps just the Becker farm and the D. R. Horton property). The Council directed the engineer to proceed with proposal to Otsego with the stipulation that SAC fees are used for transportation improvements as the City of Albertville chooses. Pete was directed to check out a drain tile problem on the property off CSAH 18 across from the golf course. . Heidi Peper, S.E.H., presented the Council with some additional information regarding revitalizing the City's EDA. The consensus of the Council is to table any action on EDA at this time. . . .
