MALL OF 6NT MINKNT UPDATE At the Monday, August 7, 2017 Albertville City Council meeting, the Darkenwald Corporation presented the Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for Mall of Entertainment (MOE) project and surrounding property. The AUAR is a planning tool that allows multiple environmental agencies to review a specific geographic area. The AUAR is not an application, development review or a permit to build; it is strictly an environmental review that allows comment from the various agencies, such as MnDOT, MPCA, DNR and others. One component of the AUAR is a traffic study that addressed current and projected traffic issues in the area that would pertain to MOE. Should the project move forward, street and intersection improvements will be needed to accommodate the added traffic specifically on CSAH 19, CSAH 38 and 701h Street NE. A formal development application or schedule has not been submitted to the city; however, the Developer has indicated they would like the MOE Phase I (hotel, waterpark and indoor theme park) completed by the fall of 2019. Watch our website and our Facebook page for more MOE updates.

ALBERTVILLE ROYALTY Just over three months ago, six crowns and a cap were passed on to a new group of outstanding young people who were given the opportunity to represent our friendly city all over the state of Minnesota! This year Haley Rogers was crowned Miss Albertville. At her side are Lilly Roberts and Naomi Peterson who were crowned Albertville Princesses. Rounding out the Royal Court are Jr. Misses Gabby Crowell, Aubrielle Poff and RaMya Beck as well as Albertville Commodore Lane Armstrong. This year's Royal Court has visited over 30 different communities so far, attending banquets, events, coronations and volunteer opportunities. However, the Beyond the Crown Initiative is what is near and dear to the Royal Court, an initiative to give back to Albertville organizations and to volunteer with groups like the Albertville Lions Club and Millennium Dance Studio. So far this summer, the Royal Court sold root beer floats and donated the proceeds to the Ronald McDonald house and also served meals and hosted a birthday celebration there. They honored a Make -A -Wish recipient with "Queen for a Day" and supported Ava Huggins in the Twin Cities Vision Walk. The 2017-2018 Albertville Royalty Program is thankful to once again have the opportunity to represent our friendly city with a small town feel and big city life. If you see the Royal Court around town or out visiting other communities give them a wave or stop for a hello, they would love to meet you! 5959 Main Ave. NE I PO Box 9 1 Albertville, MN 55301 ©CITY NEWSLETTER Phone: 763.497.3384 1 Fax: 763.497.3210 FALL/WINTER 2017 www.d.alberwille.mmus SCHOOL IS IN SESSION Buses are out on the road and children are back in school.

City Hall will again be participating in the Caring for Kids local toy drive. This toy drive has been taking place for nearly 30 years thanks to Hanover Area Food Shelf and other community volunteers. Caring for Kids serves between 500-600 children from birth to age 18 from St. Michael, Albertville, Hanover, Corcoran and Loretto through both their Adopt -a -Family program and the toy drive. Local parents who are struggling to meet their family's basic needs are invited to register their families at Hanover Area Food Shelf in November and then are able to make an appointment to come "shop" the SAFE DRIVING IN THE WINTER donations in mid -December. The amount of gifts families are gifted depends on the donations that are given. Caring for Kids will be collecting toys for all ages, as well as hats, mittens and financial contributions. While the needs change each year, babies (0-2) and teens (11-18) are the ages that are generally needed the most. To make a financial donation, please call 763.498.8311 or stop at Hanover Area Food Shelf at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. The Caring for Kids toy drive will kick off on Friday, November 24 and run through Friday, December 15. CARING FOR VV PS • YOUR LOCAL TOY DRIVE Before you leave the driveway, take time to clear snow and ice off your car (including your windows, mirrors, lights, reflectors, hood, roof, and trunk). During inclement weather, drive with your headlights on and be sure to keep them clean to improve visibility. As you get on the road, remember that speed limits are meant for dry roads, not roads covered in snow and ice. You should reduce your speed and increase your following distance during inclement weather. During snowy or icy conditions, be extra cautious on bridges and overpasses as they are commonly the first areas to become icy. Give snow plows extra room and avoid passing them. COUNTY ROAD 19 and 57TH STREET IMPROVEMENTS The intersection of LaBeaux Avenue NE (County Road 19) and 57th Street NE is undergoing a number of safety improvements, including the addition of dedicated turn lanes on 57th Street NE, flashing yellow left arrows, and ADA pedestrian ramps and crosswalks at all corners, as well as a pavement overlay.

Seconds can mean the difference between residents of our community escaping safely from a fire or having their lives end in tragedy. That's why this year's Fire Prevention Month theme "Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out!" is so important. It reinforces why everyone needs to have an escape plan. Here are this year's key campaign messages: • Draw a map of your home with all members of your household, marking two exits from each room and a path to the outside from each exit. • Practice your home fire drill twice a year. Conduct one at night and one during the day with everyone in your home and practice using different ways out. Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can't help them. • Make sure the number of your home is clearly marked and easy for the fire department to find. • Close doors behind you as you leave — this may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. • Once you get outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building. ESCAPE PLANNING • According to an NFPA survey, only one-third of Americans have both developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. Almost three-quarters of Americans do have an escape plan; however, less than half ever practiced it. One-third of survey respondents who made an estimate thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. The time available is often less. Only 8% said their first thought on hearing a smoke alarm would be to get out! 5959 Main Ave. NE I PO Box 9 1 Albertville, MN 55301 CITY NEWSLETTER Phone: 763.497.3384 1 Fax: 763.497.3210 FALL/WINTER 2017 www.d.alberwille.mn.us How fast does fire move?

WALKING / BICYCLING AFTER DARK Before it gets too cold, many of us will be out in the evenings enjoying the fall weather. Pedestrians must contend with less visibility in the fall as dusk arrives earlier in the day. When out walking or bicycling in the evenings (and early morning before dawn), remember to wear reflective clothing and be visible! When bicycling, remember to wear a properly fitted helmet, insure your bicycle has all required reflective and lighting equipment, and follow all applicable rules and laws. HOLIDAY SHOPPING The holidays are just around the corner. When out shopping, keep valuables and newly purchased items hidden from view and secured in your trunk. Remember to keep your vehicle doors locked and windows rolled up to prevent theft. Thieves often check for unlocked vehicles and take any valuables inside. v µ o 3 V o o� °oJ� • o oQ WHAT IS THE STORMWATER UTILITY FEE ON MY BILL? The stormwater utility fee pays forthe City's stormwater system (pipes, catch basins, culverts, holding ponds) and the annual maintenance costs of the system. The fee also pays for federal and state mandates such as the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) program. Like water and sewer, the stormwater utility fee is a user fee that all properties regardless of ownership are required to pay.
