Cedar Creek Golf Course Special Assessment for SAC/WAC Fees Nafstad reported that Cedar Creek golf course is looking at expanding their building and have applied for a building permit. He stated that he would like to expedite the permit, but issues arose with SAC/WAC fees. He explained that the building currently utilizes a well system. At the time the building was built, the owner had to pay the SAC fee but not WAC because of the well. The expansion to the clubhouse building will require fire sprinkling due to the use type. At this time, they don't believe the well has the capacity to serve a fire sprinkling system and that would require the owner to connect to city water. With that, the owner would need to pay SAC/WAC for the expansion as well as WAC for the existing building. Nafstad reported that in 2015, water was extended under CSAH 18. Nafstad stated that the owner would like those fees to be special assessed to the property. He indicated that the total is approximately $24,000 with half of that going to Joint Powers Water Board. The city can only special assess the half that is due to the city. One other option would be to for the city to pay the Joint Powers Water Board portion and special assess the entire amount, which is likely what the applicant would like. Couri stated that it is legal to do so. Nafstad reported that this is not unique and has been an option for other businesses over the years. Vetsch inquired if they could extend out the term of the assessment. Couri stated the council can set the term of the assessment. Olson inquired what triggers the WAC charges for the addition. Nafstad stated connection to municipal water would require WAC to be paid and fire sprinkling requirements may require connection to municipal water. Vetsch stated that the golf course is an amenity to the community and he would like to see the expansion go through. Olson inquired if this could use Revolving Loan Funds and Nafstad replied it is a possibility. Cocking felt that with the indoor simulators, it would offer a nice year-round amenity for the community. City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of October 7, 2019 Motioned by Vetsch, seconded by Cocking, to authorize staff to assess for a period up to ten years sewer and water (SACIRAC) access fees for the Cedar Creek Golf Course, with the option of the city paying the portion of Joint Powers Water Board fees and assessing those as part of the agreement per City Attorney review. Ayes: Hendrickson, Cocking, Halling, Olson and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent. None. MOTIONDECLARED CARRIED. 2). City Administrator's Update Nafstad reported that the Parks/Centennial Committee would like to create a true time capsule for the next centennial. Nafstad reported that the newsletter was out in the mail. They are currently looking at options for a revamp for the city's website. Nafstad reported that they have run into soil and drainage issues while excavating the tank at the wastewater treatment plant. He stated there is an opportunity to upgrade a lift station as part of the improvement project and will present costs for the added work at a future meeting. Nafstad provided an I-94 construction update to the Council. 9. Announcements and/or Upcoming Meetings Deputy Rice was present at the meeting to provide an update to the Council on activity in Albertville. She stated that the main items were shoplifting, gas drive offs, medical calls and false alarms. Vetsch inquired if there has been an uptick with the gas drive offs and Rice it was the usual amount. She stated that they usually fine the persons responsible and most of the time it is simply a mistake. Cocking inquired about the process used with the new parking ordinance that was passed regarding recreational vehicles on streets. Rice stated they normally make contact with the owner and inform them of the regulations and they usually comply.
