Oral Update on the STMA Ice Arena Board meeting
Council member Wagner reported the main topic of the meeting was the replacement of the roof
that has been ongoing for a number of months. Wagner reported that Jerry Zachman of Zachman
Construction and Albertville's Building Official Sutherland inspected the STMA Arena roof for
hail damage. There was significant damage so the two (2) worked together and obtained quotes,
which the Arena Board recommended awarding the low qualifying quote in the amount of
$126,247 that is subject to the League of Minnesota Cities paying the claim.
Council member Sorensen shared that the STMA Arena Board continues to research the second
sheet of ice. Albertville members informed the STMA Arena Board that the City and the owner
of L &D Trucking are sharing the cost of an appraisal. There was discussion regarding the
Albertville ballfield that may be impacted with the current proposal of an expansion. In addition,
the Albertville Fire Chief and Building Official are concerned with Fire Code issues and having
the ability to maneuver around the structure in the event of a fire.
The Board is looking at having the site surveyed to make sure the architectural expansion will be
contained in the lot and not interfere with the ballfield. There are two (2) quotes to be accepted
that are $4,500 for the Albertville City Engineer to complete a survey plus $1,400 for Paul
Youngquist to complete a layout.

Oral Update on the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting
Council member Wagner noted that the Commission reviewed an application submitted for an
expansion of a facility in the Barthel Industrial Park addition. Borders State Electric received
approval for adding on to the current structure.
Another item was that a resident in the Hunter's Pass Estates wanted to build a deck; however,
the house was not positioned to allow the structure to meet the current setbacks. The
Commission amended the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and allowed a variance to address
the wetland nearby.
Wagner noted that following the regular meeting there were a number of the Council members
that joined in on a joint meeting to discuss the Temporary Off - premise Signage.
