1). Planning Commission Appointment
Nafstad reported that the Planning Commission term expirations needed to be realigned to stagger
term ending dates so that there is at least one seat expiring every year. He explained there are
currently no term expirations in 2018, so there would be a year where there are no appointments
made. Nafstad said Council options would be to hold off a year on the 4 -year appointment of the
alternate seat or to appoint an alternate to a one-year term for 2018. Hudson felt it was important to
fill the alternate seat and thought a one-year term would sufficiently address the technicality. He felt
all applicants were well qualified.
The Council discussed the terms and it was suggested that Ms. Halling be appointed to a one-year
alternate seat on the Commission and Ms. Wegner be appointed to a four-year term ending in 2021.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Olson, to approve and amend Resolution 2018-002 to appoint
Planning Commissioners as follows:
Rebecca Halling

C. City Clerk
1). 2018 Fee Schedule
Council discussed the proposed 2018 Fee Schedule. Cocking inquired about the increase in room
rental fees. Nafstad explained that Albertville's fees for rental rooms are, by design, low compared
to other cities and even with fee increases the city will not make money on its room rentals. The
slight increase in fees will help with overall maintenance and professional cleaning of the
commercial kitchen. Nafstad explained that when City Hall was built about ten years ago, one of the
goals was for City Hall to be a resource to be used by the residents and community groups. Cocking
agreed with that. There were no further questions on the fee schedule.
Motioned by Olson, seconded by Hudson, to Approve Ordinance No. 2018-01 An Ordinance
Amending Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 3-1-3 (City Fees, Fines and Rates Schedule and Other
Various Titles in the Albertville Municipal Code. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, and
Olson. Nays: None. Absent: Vetsch. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
D. Fire — None
E. Finance —None
F. Public Works/Engineering
1). Municipal State Aid Revocation
Nafstad reported that 701h Street NE from CSAH 19 to MacIver Ave NE has been scheduled to be
turned over to Wright County and will become CSAH 38. He indicated he had held off on this item
until the plats for Hunters Lake Estates and Towne Lakes 7th Additions were platted. The resolution
will revoke that portion of 70th Street NE as a Municipal State Aid road. Otsego has already
approved its revocation and Wright County has approved taking the road over. Once Albertville
approves the revocation, MnDOT State Aid will designate the road a County State Aid Highway.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Hudson, to approve Resolution 2018-003 revoking the portion
of 70' Street NE from CSAH 19 to MacIver Avenue NE as a Municipal State Aid Street. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, and Olson. Nays: None. Absent: Vetsch. MOTION
