METROPOLITAN MOSQUITO CONTROL REPRESENTATIVE Jim Stark with the Metropolitan Mosquito Control described to the City Council steps the Met takes to control mosquitoes. One step is to set traps in various locations throughout the city to capture mosquitoes. They take them back to the lab to identify what type of mosquito it is to better understand what mosquito control product or process would work to reduce or eliminate the mosquitoes. The most recommended time to treat for mosquitoes is during the larval stage. The various ways to treat are by using Bti that looks like grains of rice, which is distributed into the standing water and last about 24-48 hours. This is less expensive compared to dunks that look like donuts, but they last up to 30-days in the water. There are processes where they use a chemical spray into shrubs or other areas. The last procedure would be the spray that looks like a fog, which is done near dusk when the mosquitoes are active. Mr. Stark stated he would be willing to work with Public Works Supervisor Guimont to teach him how to identify the types of mosquitoes in and around Albertville. Once that has been determined, Mr. Stark would discuss the best method to use within Albertville to control the mosquito population. PUBLIC HEARING - Eull Concrete Tax Increment Finance (TIP) District No. 12 Mayor Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2006 Minutes\Bridget's Draft\M 03-20-06 Draft.doc . . . City of Albertville City Council Minutes March 20, 2006 Page 3 of5 City Administrator Kruse introduced Dave Maroney, Duane Schultz, and Roger Negaard who have been working with staffto develop the Eull Concrete site. Kruse informed the Council there have been a number of interested parties presenting concepts to develop the site. One of the concepts was to leave the site as an industrial site to serve as a ready mix company. Mr. Maroney explained that in April 1981, District No.1 was first approved and since has been modified subsequently. Current modifications to the Development Program include budget revisions to coincide with the Finance Plan relating to Tax Increment Financing (TIP) District No. 12. The proposed development, tentatively suggested as an office complex, within Municipal Development District No.1 will be consistent with the goals, objectives and plans expressed by the Development Program. Certain costs associated with the proposed project are to be paid in part with tax increment funds. The City of Albertville has now determined that, in order to address the changing development needs throughout the community, it is in the public interest to provide for additional expenditures and development within Development District No.1. This modified Development Program is intended to restate and expand on the original program and all prior amendments hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference. The public improvement costs and development plans for Development District No. 1 have been described in detail by each TIP Plan authorized by the City of Albertville, which are incorporated herein by reference. The City of Albertville now anticipates additional public costs to be financed in part with tax increments expected to be generated by new development within the TIP District No. 12. Mr. Maroney informed the Council that the Albertville Building Official Sutherland and Assistant City Engineer Nafstad have inspected the site. Based on their reports, it meets the necessary requirements to modify the development. City Planner Brixius brought to the Council's attention that here before the City of Albertville is the opportunity to act now to develop the site rather than wait. MOTION by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Klecker to recess the public hearing to the June 19, 2006 City Council meeting at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter.

Staffwould review the site plans for the Hunter's Pass Estates to inspect the culvert location, size and proximity to the proposed park. CITY ADMINISTRATOR Citv Hall ParkinQ lot Council member Klecker brought to the Council and staff s attention that during construction the city hall parking lot does not appear to be very safe for residents who may be coming here to do business. City Administrator Kruse shared with the Council that he has encouraged staff to park behind the old Public W orks/Building Department facility during the construction phase. Mr. Kruse would talk to the contractor and ask them not to park in the parking lot. Citv Hall Construction City Administrator Kruse stated that it has come to their attention that Xcel Energy and the contractor discovered the power lines are closer than anticipated. Brietbach and Xcel Energy have worked together to implement a plan to resolve the issue with the power lines.
