Page l Hudson inquired about a possible legislative lawsuit against the Governor because of the veto on funding for the legislature. Lucero replied that the legislature felt the line item veto of their funding is unconstitutional. Hudson inquired about the impact this would have. Lucero replied that it would impact 201 legislators and more than 500 staff. Hendrickson asked who pays for these costs and Lucero replied that it would be taxpayer dollars.

City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 7. PUBLIC HEARINGS — None 8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS A. City Council 1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC, etc. ) FYCC Olson reported the Board interviewed three very good candidates for the FYCC Coordinator position and the person selected will begin on June 15, 2017. He also reported that FYCC received an $18,000 grant from Wright County Area United Way for programming. A. Planning/Zoning 1). Waste Hauler Business Licensing Brixius reported that the City currently licenses waste haulers operating within the City, but there are no specific performance standards for those haulers. He stated that staff would like to see standards put in place to handle complaints, address liability and property damage, ensure compliance with State inspections, hours of operation, etc. Cocking inquired why the need for the ordinance had come up and why does the City need to license operators. Brixius explained that a license holds the operators accountable and can help with enforcement issues. Couri explained the ordinance keeps the operating hours consistent with the noise ordinance and Clerk Olson cited several operation issues/complaints that have come up in recent months. Hudson was concerned if the ordinance could be a means to move to a single waste hauler in the City. Brixius explained that was not the intent of the ordinance and they were seeking reasonable standards for operating within the City. Cocking inquired if there is a way to address compliance issues without a license. Nafstad felt the licensing piece allows the City to request information and verify insurance. Cocking wondered if there is a lessor standard to achieve the same thing; he wanted to be careful of adding additional requirements that may box out competition. Couri explained the various ways and means to gain compliance. He also stated that historically it is very difficult to go to a single hauler and that is not the intent of the ordinance. Hudson wanted to make sure the ordinance would not make it more difficult for a new waste hauler to begin operating with the City and Brixius replied that the intent is not to restrict the number of haulers and most haulers operate by similar standards. Couri suggested a slight modification to the language regarding when a holiday falls during the work week. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hendrickson, to adopt Ordinance 2017-04 an ordinance amending Title 4, Chapter 7 of the Albertville Municipal City Code relating to garbage and refuse collectors with amendment. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: Cocking. Absent. Alone. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the summary ordinance for publication. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2). Heidi's Gas/Convenience Store Redevelopment — Discussion Brixius reported this is only informational for Council. Cielo Car Wash/Cielo Cleaning Services is the only interested party in the former Heidi's site. They are interested in using the space for office, storage of commercial vehicles, and off-site cleaning services. They plan to keep the car wash and also provide detailing services. The car wash is an approved use under the current zoning, but the detailing service would require a conditional use permit. Brixius reported this redevelopment would require removal of the gas tanks and pumps, modification to the building, installation of a sprinkling system, reconstruction of the parking lot as well as conditional use permit processing through Planning Commission and City Council. The potential applicant is seeking Council feedback prior to submitting a formal application to the City. Cocking felt the site is small for such a redevelopment; he is not opposed to the plan, but is not sure it is the best use of the site. Brixius replied he would make sure to emphasize to the applicant that any storage would need to be screened and detailing services could not be done outdoors. Olson stated that the signage would need to be corrected. Council indicated they are not opposed to the redevelopment and directed staff to inform the applicant of what would be involved for redevelopment. B. Public Works/Engineering 1). CSAH 19 and 57th Street NE Signal and Pedestrian Improvements Nafstad reported the project includes shifting the median, replacing the signal and adding crosswalks. He is seeking authorization to advertise for bids. He stated the engineer's estimate is approximately $260,000 and will come back to Council once bids are opened. Anticipated completion will be late summer or early fall. Hendrickson inquired if any power lines need to be buried and suggested if there are, it would be best to bury them during the project construction. Nafstad replied the project does not involve power line work. Hudson inquired about the signalization of the traffic lights. Nafstad replied that eventually all signals along CSAH 19 in Albertville will be coordinated. Motioned by Cocking, seconded Vetsch, to approve plans and specifications and authorize the advertisement for bids for the 2017 signal, crosswalk, and sidewalk improvements to the CSAH 19 and 57`h Street NE Intersection. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. 2). MnDOT Partnership Master Contract Nafstad reported Albertville has always had a master agreement with MnDot for services and the contract is up for renewal this summer. He stated this is a general contract to provide technical services. He stated the contract had been important during the C -D road construction. The contract City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 is useful for those projects the City does not anticipate, such as testing. Contracts are only renewed every four years. He added this item is simply a housekeeping item. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to approve Resolution No 2017-012 Approving State of Minnesota and the City of Albertville Master Partnership Contract, MnDOT Agreement #1028368 contingent upon review by the City Attorney. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. C. City Clerk 1).

Nafstad reported that he is looking to have a goal setting workshop prior to the regular workshops to discuss some larger line items Council may want to consider. Hendrickson would like to set the first workshop at 6:00 p.m. and then see what would be needed for workshop start times after that. Hendrickson would like Council members to direct their questions to the City Administrator prior to the workshops to help move discussion along. Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to set a budget workshop for July 17, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None.

City Administrator's Update Nafstad reported the City received a grant for improvements to Westwind Park in the amount of $150,000. The City will need to match those funds and work could possibly begin this year. Nafstad inquired if there will be a quorum at the July 3, 2017 City Council meeting. Hendrickson stated that they could call a meeting if items come up that need action right away. Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to cancel the July 3, 2017 City Council meeting. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. Hendrickson requested the Albertville Friendly City Days social hour be moved to 6:00 p.m. rather than 5:00 p.m. so that attendees could attend the Fitzsimmons wake. Clerk Olson responded staff will send out notification to those that were invited. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 Regular Meeting of June 5, 2017 Nafstad reported that repairs are needed for the 51S` Street NE cul-de-sac. He stated the cul-de-sac was designed to be temporary and then removed if and when the road is extended; however, it is unknown when that will occur. He estimates the repairs in the amount of $11,000. Council inquired about other options for permanent design and repairs to the cul-de-sac and Nafstad replied that he will come back with options. Nafstad reported that HSB Ventures, LLC will be requesting a PUD amendment for the Towne Lakes 6`' Addition. Since materials for this were not submitted in time to hold the public hearing at the June 13 Planning Commission meeting, staff will present the item at Planning, but have Council hold the public hearing at their regular meeting on June 19. He anticipates that they will also apply for a preliminary and final plat for Towne Lakes 7`h Addition. 9.
