DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
COVERAGE REVIEW
Lt. Dan Anselman stated that the Wright County Sheriffs Department currently covers 2 shifts
of police protection to date. Currently, Albertville has 16 hours of coverage: 9:30 a.m. to 6:00
p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. The last officer was added when the Mall opened. The Sheriffs
department is seeing a lot of traffic problems and business thefts. As we take a look Albertville
today in comparison to the past what we see happening is Albertville is growing. There is
additional residential growth and commercial growth. Therefore we see a need for another shift
of police coverage.
Sheriff Miller recommends 8-additional hours of coverage, but what time of day do we add has
not been addressed. They have statistics of crime or activity for 2003, but have not completed
2004 yet. The Sheriffs Department would look for some suggestions from the Council as to
when you would like additional coverage. Other factor is the time frame, when would you like
to implement the additional hours. Our recommendation would be to implement this shift in July
2005 with the suggestion that the hours be from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m.
.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to authorize
Mayor Peterson to sign the 2005 Law Enforcement Contract. Motion carried unanimously.
Council commented about putting an article on the front page of the North Crow River news
about the squad cars parked at the Fire Hall.
Mayor Peterson asked the Council if it would be okay for the deputy's to park the squad cars in
the semi-vacant Public Works garage. Peterson just thought with the recent cold temperatures
we have had that storing them in the garage they would that be somewhat protected. Lt.
Anselman stated he would discuss this at their staff meeting and get back to the City.
PLANNING AND ZONING
None.
ENGINEERING
None.
LEGAL
ApPROVE TOWNE LAKES ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT
Assistant City Attorney Wendorf stated it appears the landscaping encroaches 3-7 feet into the

the trail. The Council expressed concern about allowing structures such as the fence, but were
agreeable to allow the plantings.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Berning to authorize City
Attorney Couri to amend the encroachment agreement by leaving the flowerbed and remove any
artificial structures such as fences. Motion carried unanimously.
ApPROVE RESOLUTION No. 2005-06 ENTITLED MOONEY EASEMENT VACATION
Assistant City Attorney Wendorf said this easement was passed in November 2004. However,
Minnesota Statutes require that the vacation be done by resolution rather than by motion. Mike
Couri has prepared a resolution approving the vacation.

Temporary Sign Permit Fee for all non-profit organizations. Motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATION
WRITTEN REpORT
City Administrator Kruse started out by addressing the poles at the intersection of 57th Street and
CSAH 19. There are two wood pole streetlights that Xcel has removed. They will initiate

Council shared that on CSAH 19 East exit ramp was another area that was dark. Council felt at
one time there was a streetlight located there and advised staff to look into the matter and report
back to Council.
City Administrator Kruse reviewed the balance of the report. Kruse shared with the Council the
next Albertville Business Council's topic is "Banner Sign Issue" scheduled for February 17th at
the Country Inn & Suites.
Kruse added that Edina Development has made a proposal, but we are not in agreement and are
still negotiating.
Council encouraged staff to get a time line from Mr. Mezile, President & CEO of the YMCA.
They would like to keep good communication through the process as we move forward. Council
suggested putting something in the North Crow River News or the next City Newsletter before
any incorrect information was communicated.
2004 ACTIVITY REpORT - A YEAR IN REVIEW
City Administrator Kruse stated this is just a brief summary of what has been happening in
Albertville. It would be information to share at the upcoming State of the City.
PROPOSAL FOR MUD LAKE WATER CROSSING (TRUNK FuND PROJECT)
City Administrator Kruse addressed the Council regarding the letter of proposal for professional
services related to a geotechnical study in preparation to bore a water main under Mud Lake to
serve Hunter's Pass.
Hunter's Pass Estates has contacted the City and is waiting to find out how much the City is
going to charge the developer for 70th Street and MacIver Avenue.
Whether Hunter's Pass Estates is developed or not, we anticipate that someone in the future will
develop the land. By proceeding with the geotechnical study now, the company can drive soil-
testing equipment on the ice rather than in a boat.
Council wanted to know what the estimated difference would be if we do the water main
crossing now versus in the spring.
City Engineering Carlson estimated the difference could be around $8,000.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to authorize S.E.H.
to proceed with the geotechnical study in preparation for the Mud Lake water main crossing.
Motion carried unanimously.

OTHER BUSINESS. MINUTES AND MATERIALS
DIRECTION REGARDING REQUESTS FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITY ENGINEER
City Administrator Kruse requested direction on appointing a City Engineer. Kruse explained
that the Council discussed this at the last workshop and if they want to appoint S.E.H. or seek
another firm, they should take that formal action.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Vetsch to proceed to
invite three or four firms for interviews with the goal to appoint a City Engineer by March 1,
2005. Motion carried unanimously.
ENGINEERING PROJECT TRANSITION RECOMMENDATIONS
, Based on the Council's desire to consider a change in City Engineer, City Administrator Kruse
prepared an Engineering Transition Plan, which identifies the status of various engineering
projects and studies. City Administrator Kruse requested the Council identify which project(s)
S.E.H. would be completing and which may be transferred to the new appointed City Engineer.
50th Street Pedestrian Trail (2004 School Pedestrian Trail) Statns-Scope of Proiect: In
the summer of 2004, on behalf of the City of Albertville and City of St. Michael, the City let
a contract to Buffalo Bituminous in the amount of $339,332.70 for construction of a trail
from CSAH 19 to Naber Avenue. The cost of this project is shared 50-50% with St. Michael
exclusive of right-of-way costs. With change orders, the anticipated total cost is
$353,876.90. Substantial completion went beyond the contract completion date, and the
possibility exists for Buffalo Bituminous to pay some liquated damages for irrigation and
some additional work the City incurred.

Beyond the contract with Buffalo Bituminous, a contract in the amount of $2,415 was let to
construct a small retaining wall to protect evergreens at the comer of Main Avenue and 50th
Street.
Financing: 50% ofthe cost of construction and Albertville's right-of-way costs will corne
from the Park Dedication Funds.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer and Inspector's continuity with the project
and contractor is important. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to close out this project
by June 1,2005. There will be some additional restoration prior to final acceptance. It is
recommended that if Buffalo Bituminous does not complete its final work by May 1,2005
that the bond company be notified and the City seek another contractor to complete the
work.
Once the project is completed, a new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year
warranty items in consultation with S.E.H.

2004 Prairie Run Proiect Status-Scope of Proiect: In the summer of 2004, the City let a
contract in the amount of$I,575,733.53 with Dennis Fehn Construction. To date the City
has paid $835,563.09. The mass grading is pretty well complete, utilities installed, and some
streets have the bituminous and others the gravel base has been installed. The original
contract completion date is June 30, 2005. However, because of difficulties with finalizing
the developer's agreement, construction began later than anticipated. It will be reasonable to
extend the completion date if requested by the contractor. At this time the contractor has not
requested a time extension. This project is complicated by shared work with the Shoppes at
Prairie Run. 100% ofthe project is anticipated to be assessed to the benefited properties.
Financing: 100% of the cost of this project will be assessed to the benefited properties, with
the exception of the lift station costs. The City is responsible for the lift station costs. The
City's costs are recovered through the trunk sewer charges. At some point in the near
future, the Engineer will determine the project is substantially complete and the costs are
known and based on this information the City will issue a short term assessment bond for
the project.

commitment to complete this project in early spring, we proceed to get another contractor to
complete the work. Further, I suggest the City revisit the sidewalk there and consider
installing just one sidewalk on the west side of the street and one or more connections to the
Albertville Crossings parking lot on the east side of the street because it may be difficult to
install a sidewalk there due to the grade.

Wastewater Treatment Facility Status-Scope of Proiect: In 2003, the City contracted
with S.E.H. to design and prepare plans and specifications to expand the City wastewater
treatment plant from the current 660,000 gallons per day to 980,000 gallons per day. The
budget for the plans and specification phase was established at $296,900 and to date amount
expended is $200,000. This portion of the engineering work is planned to be completed by
March of2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity to finish the plans and
specification is paramount as is S.E.H. completing construction and start-up. Another City
Engineer can oversee the one and two year warranty periods.

CSAH 37 Pedestrian Trail- The trail is planned from Kahler Avenue and follows CSAH
37 east to the downtown area. Drainage improvements for the rear yard areas of the homes
at the intersection of Kahler Drive and CSAH 37 are part of the project. The City contracted
with S.E.H. in the amount of $18,731 to complete the design and specifications for bidding
the trail. Currently the plans and specification are 95 percent complete and should be ready
for bidding in February of2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity with this project is important,
however, this is a project that can more easily be transferred to another engineer for
construction oversight. Although it is possible, I think it is in the best interest of the City to
have S.E.H. complete the project in its entirety.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay approving
S.E.H. complete the design, bidding and construction ofCSAH 37 Pedestrian Trail in its
entirety. Motion carried unanimously.

Access Study was $225,000 and as of December 31, the City has expended $157,000. The
Engineering components for development of an 1-94 Project can be broken down into three
distinct areas. 1) Feasibility Study and Permitting; 2) Design, specifications and bidding, and
3) Construction. Currently, we are getting close to identifying an access plan; State and
Federal Access Permit and completion of the Feasibility Study. Modeling of the various

options will be completed in late January and early February. It is anticipated that the permit
request process will be completed by March 2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity within anyone of these phases
is important. It is recommended at a minimum, that S.E.H. continue to complete the
Feasibility Study and Access Permit portion of the project. Once completed, another
engineering firm could complete the design and construction portion independently.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Fay to approve that
S.E.H. continue to complete the Feasibility Study and Access Permit portion of the project.
Once completed, the new appointed engineering firm could complete the design and
construction portion independently. Motion carried unanimously.
.
70th Street Transportation Master Plan Status-Scope of Proiect: Fall 2004 S.E.H. has
been hired to complete an $8,500 Master Transportation Plan of 70th Street. The purpose of
the study is to identify the location of full and limited access points on 70th Street and to get
Wright County to modify the one-half mile spacing for full access along 70th Street. Both
the City of Otsego and the City of Albertville seek full access interseqtions at approximately
one-quarter mile spacing. Further, the study will identify the proposed location of the
street(s) in the northwest quadrant of the City, which will be useful as the City evaluates the
extension of the Albertville Premium Outlet Street to the West. The cost to the City is
anticipated to be approximately one-fourth as the City ofOtsego and private developers will
be paying for the balance of the study. The traffic study portion is anticipated to be
completed in late January or early February and the balance ofthe report by March 1,2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity with this study is very
important. S.E.H. has much of the history of this area and has been involved with previous
discussions with the City of Otsego. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to complete the
70th Street Transportation Study and be involved with its presentation to Wright County.
Once the study is completed, another engineering firm could complete the design and
construction portion of any projects within the area independently.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve
S.E.H. continuing to complete the 70th Street Transportation Study and be involved with its
presentation to Wright County with the goal to complete this Study and presentation to
Wright County by March 1,2005. Once the study is completed, the new appointed
engineering firm can complete the design and construction portion of any projects within the
area. Motion carried unanimously.
