C. Legal
1). Easement Purchase Agreement for Wastewater Treatment Plant Discharge Line to
Mississippi River
Couri reported that the city will need to acquire easement from Riverwood Holdings, LLC in order to
run the wastewater treatment plant discharge line to the Mississippi River in Otsego. Currently, an
investment company owns the property and they have been open to negotiations with staff with the
understanding that Albertville will pay for the easement. Couri then outlined the path of the easement
needed. Nafstad explained that the $127,000 was based on the loss determined by the appraiser and the
estimated cost to repair and patch the axeas disturbed by the construction. Nafstad explained that the
owner would prefer a payment instead of having the project contractor make the repairs. Couri explained
there will be a trail that will be dug up when laying the pipe and they are in negotiations with who will
repair it, but the owners have requested the city include the trail repair as part of the proposal. It was
noted a number of trees will also be removed. Couri reported that the agreement is contingent upon
obtaining another easement from a neighboring property. He stated there are some additional temporary
easements access agreements involved as well. Couri reported the city will also need a CUP from the
City of Otsego after the purchase agreements are in place and signed.
Couri stated they wouid like to close by December 31, 2018.Cocking inquired if the cost to replace the
trail was included in the $127,000 price and Nafstad replied it was not. Nafstad felt replacing the trail
was a reasonable request given the city would need the trail for access to the river.
Couri suggested amending the motion to include a change to the purchase agreement that the City of
Albertville will pave the trail rather than Riverwood Holdings, LLC.
Motioned by Cocking, seconded by Olson, to approve Purchase Agreement with Riverwood Holdings,
LLC for an easement for the Wastewater Treatment Plant discharge line to Mississippi River and to
include the amended language per the City Attorney. Ayes:Hendrickson, Cocking, Hudson, and
Olson. Nays:None. Absent: Vetsch. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIE.

departments serving Otsega He showed the proposed new lines from the fire study. It would be an

Rogers. It would be effective January l, 2019 if Otsego chooses to move forward.

1). Food Truck Event
Mariah Grant was present at the meeting to inform Council about an Open House event for the Parkside
businesses. Hodena reported the event is to occur on Saturday, September 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
There would be food trucks, vendors, and music. She stated the outdoor music needs Council approval
and Nafstad stated there are some requirements regarding the location of food trucks in proximity to
brick and mortar food establishments. Couri indicated they must be at least 200 feet away from the
building and showed Grant possible locations in the Parkside shared parking lot that would work. Grant
reported they do not expect more than 200 people.
Both Hendrickson and Hudson were supportive of the event so long as the appropriate applications and
details were reviewed by the City Planner. Hudson suggested that Grant contact Casey's management to
see if they wanted to be involved with the event and possibly waive the 200 foot ordinance requirement.
Grant felt that would be a good idea and will also pursue that avenue.
Council felt no formal approval was needed and directed staff to work with Grant and her group on the
appropriate reviews for the food trucks and outdoor music.
