1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, FYCC,
etc.)
Fire Advisory Committee
Olson reported that they discussed the payback for the two new fire trucks with Lannes showing
options for a five, seven or ten year payback plan. He reported fire calls are at a record high to date.
Otsego purchased land for a future fire hall; there are no set plans as of now. Olson reported the cost -
share ratio for fire service is Albertville at 5 1 % and Otsego at 49%. Bullen stated there is another
three years of the current contract after 2019. Nafstad stated that Otsego may want to revisit
discussions of a joint powers agreement.
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 2
Regular Meeting of August 5, 2019 Agenda Page 5
B. Legal
1). Solicitor Ordinance Modifications — Discussion
Couri reported that the proposed ordinance has significant changes to the current solicitor ordinance.
He stated that the changes are due to recent state and federal court rulings that have ruled against
cities with strict restrictions on such activities. The courts have ruled that limiting hours of sales
prohibits commercial speech and is against the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. He added that a
government entity must show a significant and compelling reason for limitation of hours. He stated
that the City of Bloomington was sued and the judge ruled against their ordinance. He reminded the
Council of the correspondence from a company licensed in Albertville that hinted at such action and
the stand down agreement the city and the company reached. The current ordinance only allows
soliciting between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. He suggested amending the ordinance in
order to avoid a lawsuit where the city could possibly be responsible to pay the other party's
attorney's fees. The proposed hours are 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Cocking inquired why they should have hours in which to solicit at all if they can't restrict them the
way they want to. Couri reported he has been working with the League of MN Cities and his contact
there said 9:00 p.m. seems to be the time that is a break point for the courts. Couri said there may be
more latitude with start time if Council was uncomfortable having it at 7:00 a.m., such as waiting
until kids are in school. Bullen felt there needs to be a cutoff time for safety reasons and to prohibit
prowling and loitering. Cocking felt that a compelling government reason could possibly vary by
entity.
Couri then walked through the other minor changes. He stated that he had included language
regarding issuance of a license after a background check, but the city currently does not do
background checks and issues them over the counter. He stated that the Council may want to leave
that language out. If a conviction of a certain type is found, he is not sure if they could legally deny
the license. Cocking and Halling felt background checks should be done. Halling suggested listing
the type of felonies/convictions that the city would not accept or issue a license to. Court replied
that if a person's time has been served and their rights restored, it may be a problem to deny; he
would like to review other court cases and bring back for more discussion before any action is taken
on the ordinance. Cocking also had concerns about out of state convictions.
Couri stated that they most likely need to reduce the fee as they can only charge actual costs.
Nafstad asked Couri if there is a benefit to licensing soliciting. Couri stated that there is a benefit to
know who is in the community. Hodena stated she informs the sheriff's office who is licensed so
they also know who is out in the neighborhoods. Also it provides contact information in case staff
needs to contact the company.
2). City Attorney Report

1). No Truck Routes Discussion
Nafstad asked the Council about posting no truck signs on certain residential streets.. The roads
proposed to have signs would be 51st Street NE, 551h Street NE, 57th Street NE, and Main Avenue
NE. Nafstad discussed the process and ordinance that would be needed. Council saw no issues with
such an ordinance and Nafstad will draft an ordinance for Council's review.

I. Administration
1). Daze & Knights Social Event Invitation
Nafstad reminded Council of the Daze & Knights social event on Friday at 5:00 p.m. in St. Michael
2). Sheriffs Monthly Report
Olson inquired if they could see the monthly report with the previous month's calls. He would like
to see the difference in number of calls. He also inquired if it would be possible to see surrounding
communities' monthly call reports for comparison. Bullen stated that those cities may receive
reports including self -initiated calls, so they would need to ask for those to be removed in order to
compare with Albertville calls.

Present: Acting Mayor Vetsch and Councilmembers Cocking, Halling and Olson
Staff Present: City Adininistrator-PWD Adam Nafstad, Finance Director Tina Lannes, Fire
Chief Eric Bullen and City Clerk Kimberly Hodena
2. Long Range Plan Discussion
There were no questions on the long range plan.
3. Draft 2019 Preliminary Budget
Lannes stated that the preliminary budget has a levy increase of approximately 4.76%. The
enterprise budgets will come to Council at a later date as they are not part of the general levy.
4. Senior Center/Library
Lannes reviewed the payback plan for the Senior Center/Library. She stated that the bond for the
building was back -end loaded; but in order to not have such a balloon payment at the end of the
term, the city has been budgeting a level number over the years.
5. Building Department
Lannes reported the contract for building official services went up slightly. Olson inquired why
it went up and whether they should look for their own building official. Nafstad stated that the
formula used to figure the cost involves both population and commercial property. He felt they
are not quite to the point where it would be more cost effective to bring that position/duties in-
house again; but it is something they continue to monitor.
6. FYCC
Lannes reported there was a small increase to the FYCC budget and was typical compared to
previous years.
Agenda Page 9
7. LGA
Lannes stated the city will receive a cut in Local Government Aid (LGA) next year so Council
should expect to see that.
8. Fire Capital
Lannes reported that payback for the two new fire trucks was discussed at the Fire Advisory
Committee. She said they need to determine if the payback will be five, seven or ten years out.
Otsego was willing to pursue a five year payback plan.
9. Law Enforcement — Contract/Coverage Review
Lannes reported that the contract will increase a total of 9% over two years. Even though staff
is not looking for formal approval at this time, there is a deadline of August 15 if the city wants
to make changes or cancel the contract.
Olson expressed his frustration that the cities that contract with Wright County for law
enforcement services were not consulted prior to the renewal agreement going out. Cocking and
Vetsch agreed. Vetsch inquired how long the city could continue to have these types of
increases; he stated they may need to look at cutting hours. Cocking agreed but realizes that
there is no better option for law enforcement services. Olson would like to see how Albertville
compares to other cities for calls and services. Vetsch agreed they have limited options but
believes residents would be supportive of less hours of coverage versus the increased cost.
Nafstad stated that starting a department would cost millions of dollars and they do get a lot of
services in the contract including prosecution, attorneys, jail facilities, vehicles and investigation
services. Halling thought perhaps some of the cities could come together to form a cooperative
department.
Vetsch would like to cut hours and Lannes replied hours come in four hour blocks of time.
Nafstad stated that hours should be reflective of need, not necessarily funds. He would be
uncomfortable going backward in terms of hours. Vetsch stated that he has a hard time
justifying an increase of approximately $75,000 over the course of two years. Cocking felt that
it doesn't serve the residents to reduce hours and would not like to go backwards.
Cocking also felt that response/action to calls could be improved. Vetch reiterated his
disappointment in the process of the renewal and wished someone from the sheriff's office
would have presented this to the Council earlier.
Cocking wanted it on the record that the 4.76% levy increase is specifically due to other
government entities and mandates such as the MPCA mandates for improvements to the
wastewater treatment plant and the law enforcement contract. The law enforcement contract
increase is more than a 1 % levy increase to the Albertville budget. Halling
10. Council Wages
Nafstad distributed a handout showing council wages of cities in Wright County as well as cities
with a similar population. He stated that any adjustments in council wages must be done prior to
the end of the year. Hodena stated wages cannot be adjusted during an election year and the last

time the wages were adjusted was in 2006. The Council felt the wages were fine as is and did
not want to make any adjustments.
11. Other
Nafstad inquired if Council had any purchases or improvements they would like included in the
budget.
Vetsch asked where the city is at in terms of a cold storage building. Nafstad replied that the
city would most likely have to issue debt for a new building or building addition. Vetsch felt
indoor storage prolongs the life of equipment.
Vetsch inquired when Central Park improvements would occur as well as paving of 58th Street
NE and the Central Park parking lot. Nafstad stated the park projects are identified in the five
year CIP.
Vetsch would also like Nafstad to talk to the County about the law enforcement contract and
receiving information on proposed changes.
12. Adjourn

SUBJECT: PLANNING - HSB VENTURE LLC'S APPLICATION TO VACATE PORTIONS OF
DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS FOR NINE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME LOTS IN
THE TOWNE LAKES 7TH ADDITION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2019-2019-032 to vacate a portion of a drainage and
utility easement over Lots 1-9 Block 1 Towne Lakes 711 Addition.
BACKGROUND: HSB Venture LLC has filed an application to vacate portions of drainage
and utility easements for nine single-family home Lots in the Towne Lakes 7th Addition in
Albertville.
The site is owned by HSB Venture LLC. The property owner is requesting to vacate a 5 foot
portion of a drainage and utility easement to accommodate the construction of patios for the
single family homes to be constructed on these Lots.
The easement lying within the south 5.00 feet of the north 40.00 feet of said Lots 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, all in Block 1 of Towne Lakes 71h Addition. The following describes the
proposed vacate easement of each Lot:
The west 5.00 feet and the east 7.50 feet of said Lot 1;
The west 7.50 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 2;
The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 3;
The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 4;
The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 5;
The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 6;

The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 8;
The west 5.00 feet and the east 5.00 feet of said Lot 9.
KEY ISSUES:

and is no longer required by the City.
• Drainage. The drainage patterns within the Block will not be altered with the vacation
of this portion of the easement according to the City Engineer.

Subject: Towne Lakes 7te Addition, Partial Easement Vacation on Lots 1-9 of Block 1
I have reviewed the Developer's request to vacate a portion of the rear yard drainage and utility
easement on Lots 1 through 9, Block 1 of Towne Lakes 7th Addition and offer the following:
The rear yard drainage and utility easements as platted are 40'. The Developer's request
is to reduce the rear yard easements by 5' to 35' to accommodate a larger building pad.
The side yard easements will remain as platted.
2. There is existing storm sewer pipe (15" HDPE) and inlet structures in the rear yard
easement. The storm sewer is relatively shallow (aprox. 4'). With a reduced easement,
the storm sewer will be approximately 5' from the southerly boundary line of the
easements.
3. I find the request reasonable with the following conditions:
a. Lot certificates for Lots 1 thru 9, Block 1 will need to depict and include
reference to the vacated portion of the easement.
b. The Developer will need to ensure rear yard drainage swales remainwithin
easements.
c. Civil plans will be updated to show reduced easement.

Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The interest
thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof is payable by check or draft
issued by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment
date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available
for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of
authentication; or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case
the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on
February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2020, to the registered owners of record
thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or
not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent,
and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the
Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Re ig�ster. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond
register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the
registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred, or
exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the
registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory
to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized
by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount
and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for
registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment
date and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for
exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate
principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in
writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly
cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar
for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the
endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the
requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in
good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether
606927v1AL141-69 4
Agenda Page 27
the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the
principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes and payments so made to
registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Char. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner
thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds, sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee,
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is
destroyed, stolen, or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity
date, and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in
lieu of and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen, or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a
Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon tiling with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the
Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the
Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance, and amount satisfactory to it
and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees.
Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such
cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen, or lost Bond has
already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to
issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof
identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the
redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be
redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the
notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or
any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds
so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that
the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Re ig strar. The City appoints Northland Trust Services, Inc.,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator are authorized to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of
the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized
by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The
City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The
City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days' notice and upon the appointment of
a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its
possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or
before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the City
Administrator must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest
then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction
of the City Administrator and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Administrator, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved, or lithographed facsimiles of the
originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to
be such officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery.
606927v1AL141-69 5
Agenda Page 28
Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any
security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has
been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates
of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered
under this resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed, and authenticated, the City
Administrator will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the
application of the purchase price.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the
form as attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Administrator is directed to obtain a copy of the
proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and to
cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.
Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges; and Covenants.
4.01. Debt Service Fund. The Bonds will be payable from the General Obligation Sanitary
Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2019A Debt Service Fund (the "Debt Service Fund") hereby created. The
Debt Service Fund shall be administered and maintained by the City Administrator as a bookkeeping
account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City.
The City will continue to maintain and operate its Sewer Fund to which will be credited all gross revenues of
the sanitary sewer system, and out of which will be paid all normal and reasonable expenses of current
operations of such systems. Any balances therein are deemed net revenues (the "Net Revenues") and will be
transferred, from time to time, to the Debt Service Fund, which Debt Service Fund will be used only to pay
principal of and interest on the Bonds and any other bonds similarly authorized. There is also
appropriated to the Debt Service Fund (i) ad valorem taxes hereinafter levied (the "Taxes"), which are
pledged to the Debt Service Fund (ii) capitalized interest financed with proceeds of the Bonds, if any; (iii)
amounts over the minimum purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for deposit in
the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof. There will always be retained in the Debt
Service Fund a sufficient amount to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds, and the City Administrator
must report any current or anticipated deficiency in the Debt Service Fund to the City Council.
4.02. Construction Fund. The City hereby creates the General Obligation Sanitary Sewer
Revenue Bonds, Series 2019A Construction Fund (the "Construction Fund"). Proceeds of the Bonds, less
the appropriations made in Section 4.01 hereof, will be deposited in the Construction Fund to be used solely
to defray expenses of the Project. When the Project is completed and the cost thereof paid, the Construction
Fund is to be closed and any funds remaining may be deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
4.03. City Covenants. The City Council covenants and agrees with the holders of the Bonds
that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding and unpaid, it will keep and enforce the following
covenants and agreements:
(a) The City will continue to maintain and efficiently operate the sanitary sewer
system as a public utility and conveniences free from competition of other like municipal utilities
and will cause all revenues therefrom to be deposited in bank accounts and credited to the Sewer
606927v1AL141-69 6
Agenda Page 29
Fund, as hereinabove provided, and will make no expenditures from those accounts except for a
duly authorized purpose and in accordance with this resolution.
(b) The City will also maintain the Debt Service Fund as a separate account and will
cause money to be credited thereto from time to time, out of Net Revenues and Taxes, in sums
sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.
(c) The City will keep and maintain proper and adequate books of records and
accounts separate from all other records of the City in which will be complete and correct entries
as to all transactions relating to the sanitary sewer system, and which will be open to inspection
and copying by any Bondholder, or the Bondholder's agent or attorney, at any reasonable time,
and it will furnish certified transcripts therefrom upon request and upon payment of a reasonable
fee therefor, and said account will be audited at least annually by a qualified public accountant
and statements of such audit and report will be furnished to all Bondholders upon request.
(d) The City Council will cause persons handling revenues of the sanitary sewer
system, to be bonded in reasonable amounts for the protection of the City and the Bondholders
and will cause the funds collected on account of the operations of such systems to be deposited in
a bank whose deposits are guaranteed under the Federal Deposit Insurance Law.
(e) The City Council will keep the sanitary sewer system insured at all times against
loss by fire, tornado, and other risks customarily insured against with an insurer or insurers in
good standing, in such amounts as are customary for like plants, to protect the holders, from time
to time, of the Bonds and the City from any loss due to any such casualty and will apply the
proceeds of such insurance to make good any such loss.
(f) The City and each and all of its officers will punctually perform all duties with
reference to the sanitary sewer system as required by law.
(g) The City will impose and collect charges of the nature authorized by
Sections 444.075 and 115.46 of the Act, at the times and in the amounts required to produce Net
Revenues and Taxes adequate to pay all principal and interest when due on the Bonds and to
create and maintain such reserves securing said payments as may be provided herein.
(h) The City Council will levy general additional ad valorem taxes on all taxable
property in the City when required to meet any deficiency in Net Revenues and Taxes.
4.04. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit, and taxing powers of the
City are irrevocably pledged. If a payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes due when
there is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the City Administrator is directed
to pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the City, and the general fund will be reimbursed
for those advances out of the proceeds of Net Revenues and Taxes when collected.
4.05. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying a portion of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable property in
the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of
the City. The Taxes will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and
amounts as attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
606927v1AL141-69 7
Agenda Page 30
4.06. Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby determined that the estimated collection of the Net
Revenues and Taxes for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds will produce at least five
percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the principal and interest payments on
the Bonds.
4.07. State Credit Enhancement.
(a) Pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on March 19, 2019, the City

7.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten or
printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities of the Bonds as described in Section 1.04 hereof.
Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New
York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding
Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC.
7.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent
will have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from
time to time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (the "Participants") or to any other
person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, including but not limited to any
responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any

Paying Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration
books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with
respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the
registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy
and discharge the City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of Bonds,
as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the
obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City Administrator of a written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words "Cede &
Co." will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such a notice, the City Administrator
will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the "Representation Letter") which shall govern payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or
Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action
necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and
Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book-EntrS. sue. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds
that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the
Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City will issue,
transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other registered owners in
accordance with the provisions of this resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its
services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities
606927v1AL141-69 10
Agenda Page 33
depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in
accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method
of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to the
contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with
respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices with respect to the Bond will

8.02. Ci y Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, failure of the City to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default with respect
to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate,
including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its
obligations under this section.
Section 9. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon have been discharged as
provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the
Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The City may
discharge all Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be
discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest
accrued to the date of such deposit.

August 13, 2019
SUBJECT: FINANCE — REVOLVING LOAN FUND 203
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Request the release of "Revolving Loan Funds" under the onetime exception
from Minnesota Employment and Economic Development.
BACKGROUND: The City received Revolving Loan monies from the state in 1989 as part of
an economic development grant involving Fraser Steel. Under the terms of the _rag nt, a portion
of the money that the State provided to Fraser Steel was in the form of a loan that was repayable
to the City that the City agreed to keep in a revolving loan fund. Fraser Steel repaid the moneX
with interest to the City and the City kept this money in its revolving loan fund. By State statute,
t-The revolvingloan oan funds f f the lean has special restrictions limiting to whom and for what
purposes the City can loan this money out. eh esthe 4mds vefy restfietive. A
few businesses were able to use this loan over the past thirty years with the major user being
Fraser Steel twice, but others were not.
The Legislature has passed a onetime exception in order to release any uncommitted revolving
loan funds by June 1, 2020. If approved for fund release twenty percent of the balance of the
fund would go back to the State of Minnesota leaving the remaining funds available to the City
for transferring out of the special revolving loan fund for use as general purpose aid for any
lawful expenditure. Essentially, the City can "buy" its way out of the current restrictions and free
up the fund for virtually any use the City wants to put the money to.
The current balance in the Revolving Loan Fund 203 is $187,237.23.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: City staff has reviewed this along with our audit film and
recommends requesting release of the monies.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: State law currently prohibits the use of revolving loan funds
for a number of uses (e.a. rehabbing a retail buildina) and reauires that iob and wane coals be
part of any loan of such funds. Invoking the new law change to release 80% of the revolving
loan fund will remove all State restrictions on the use of these funds and will allow the Cites
use these funds for any purpose to which City monies can normallypent, giving the City
much greater flexibility_ to businesses grow the future tax base of the City or allowing the
City to use the money for any other lawful purpose. ??

August 14, 2019
SUBJECT: PLANNING — AMENDMENT TO THE PUD (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) ZONING
FOR THE FEDERATED CO—OPS PROPERTY LOCATED AT 11229 60TH STREET NE IN
ALBERTVILLE TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A 10,000 GALLON
GASOLINE STORAGE TANK WITHIN ITS TANK STORAGE AREA
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
MOTION TO: Adopt Ordinance No. 2019-05 entitled a Ordinance amending the PUD district
on the Federated Co-ops property located at 11229 60th Avenue in the City of Albertville to
allow a 7th fuel storage tank within its tank field. The new storage tank will consist of a 10,000
gallon gasoline tank.
BACKGROUND: In 2013, Federated Coop received City approval of a PUD/ B-3 district tied
to a specific site plan that identified the uses, buildings and operations for the site at 11229 60th
Street NE. Albertville. This included the approval of a storage tank field for up to 6 fuel tanks
(these tanks store fuel oil and diesel fuel). Federated Co-op is now requesting an amendment to
their PUD to allow a seventh tank within their tank containment area. The new tank is proposed
to contain 10,000 gallons of the premium gasoline.
The Planning and Zoning Commission met and held a public hearing on July 9, 2019 and August
13, 2019, to consider the request of Federated Co-ops. At these meetings the following key
issues were discussed.
KEY ISSUES:
The addition of a new 10,000 gallon gasoline above ground storage tank will almost
double the gasoline storage on the site. The applicant has provided information that the
average quantities of fuel within each tank generally average less than 70% of the tank's
capacity. Additionally, with the approval of the new tank the applicant will remove one
1000 gallon tank, reducing the total request to 9,000 gallons of storage over existing
conditions.
• Gasoline is more combustible than the other fuels stored at the site. This is a concern;
however, this concern exists today within the current tank field with one of the 14.000
gallon tank currently holding gasoline. The applicant has offered operational and site
improvements to better secure the tank field and improve training and response efforts in
an emergency event.
• The site offers not water supply to the site for the fire department. Hydrant locations
exist beyond the site at both 58th and 60th streets.

Mayor and Council Request for Action — August 19, 2019
Federated Co -Op PUD Amendment Page 2 of 2
• The Albert Fire Department lacks the equipment to handle a non -routine call at the
facility. The applicant has offered to participate in the creation of an Emergency Action
plan for the site that would involve both the participation and training of both the
Federated employees and the Albertville Fire Department.
• The site offers no on -site, fire -fighting equipment that would assist the fire department
with a non -routine call at the facility. Federated has offer the provision of tank
monitoring app to its employees and the fire department, and to buy form in quantities
specified by the fire department to be used in an emergency event on the site.
Upon review of the application two planning commissioners felt that the expansion of the
tank field presented a expand risk to the city with regard to public safety. Three
commissioners indicated that the community risk exists with the current tank field and
the addition of the new tank
Upon review of the staff report and hearing public testimony, the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended with a vote of 3 in favor and 2 opposed that the City Council approve
of the Planned Unit Development amendment with the conditions outlined in Ordinance 2019-
00X
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published
and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission for an amendment to the Federated Co -
Op Planned Unit Development. The Commission recommended on 3 to 2 vote that the City
Council approve the Federated Co -Op PUD Amendment to allow the addition of a 10,000 gallon
gasoline storage tank within their existing tank field at 11229 60th Street NE in Albertville.
The City Council may accept the recommendation of the planning commission or act
independently.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to the
Planned Unit Development Amendment.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and
Council have the authority to amend the 2013 Federated Co -Op Planned Unit Development
zoning district, which requires a majority vote of the City Council and becomes effective upon
publication.

gasoline storage. The additions of this additional fuel tank shall be governed by the following
conditions and standards.
The above ground tank meets all building and fire code requirements per the Summit
evaluation report.
2. Alarm: Federated Co -Op / property owner will train their employees and have the direct
dial to the police station if the monitor ever shows an issue. The alarm will go off if the
tank gets hotter than 100 degrees.
3. Monitor: Federated Co -Op staff will allow the Fire Department to have access to their
tank monitoring software via a mobile app. This app, which is now in use by Federated
Co -Op, would allow the Fire Department to virtually "see" the tank levels and
temperatures in each of the individual tanks. Access to this application would be limited
to the Fire Chief's iPad and the Fire Department's Engine 11 iPad.
4. Federated Co -Op employees, and their transport staff, will be trained in the use of the
above app and directed on when to call 9-1-1 should any tank show any level or
temperature issues.
5. Security: Federated Co -Op will bring in additional gravel in the low spots and will
anchor the fence in a manner that prevents trespass under the fence. The fence anchoring
will be subject to the approval of City Staff.
6. Safety training: Federated Co -Op will donate money for some additional joint training of
both the fire department and its employees in the establishment of an emergency
management plan for the site.
7. Site Lighting: Federated Co -Op will install dusk/dawn lighting in the loading area to
provide employees a safer loading environment. The dusk/dawn lighting will be a
deterrent to site entry from outsiders. Lighting will be 90 degree cutoff light fixtures
consistent with current requirements.

8. Federated Co -Op will install motion detectors on both gate areas that will activate
additional lighting to deter entry or tampering. Lighting will be consistent with current
City lighting requirements.
9. Electrical power will remain locked out during all non -business hours via a padlocked
breaker box. Federated Co-ops will explore pass code/key code power options to provide
additional protection.
10. Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department on finding a third party vendor to
construct an Emergency Action Plan for the facility allowing both Federated Co -Op staff
and the Fire Department to train under one, unified, plan. Federated Co -Op has indicated
they would be willing to make a monetary donation to fund this process. Federated Co -
Op shall bear the expense for the development of the Emergency Action plan specific to
the site. The Action plan shall be completed within 6 months of the PUD approval.
11. Federated Co -Op will remove one 1000 gallon gasoline tanks from the property with the
installation of the 10,000 gallon gasoline storage tank.
12. Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department to secure extra firefighting foam to
be used solely for any incidents at the Federated Co -Op facility. Currently our foam
supply comes in 5-gallon buckets, and is stored at the Fire Department. The Fire
Department would be comfortable having 100 gallons of foam on hand for the Federated
Co -Op facility. Federated Co -Op has indicated they would be open to purchasing foam
for potential use at their facility.
13. The entire tank field shall be an interim use for the property and shall be removed from
the site if the property changes ownership. Subsequent, land owners may pursue and
PUD Amendment to retain the tank field subject to the tank field meeting all current
building, fire, and zoning codes in place at the time of change in ownership and
compliance with the conditions of this ordinance.
THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
FOLLOWING ITS PASSAGE AND PUBLICATION.
Approved by the Albertville City Council this 19 day of August, 2019.

RE: Federated Co-op Fuel Tank Request.
FILE NO: 165 05 19.04
PROPERTY 11229 60t" Street NE
ADDRESS:
PI D: 101-500-012-131
BACKGROUND:
In 2013, Federated Coop received City approval of a PUD/ B-3 district tied to a specific
site plan that identified the uses, buildings and operations on the site. This included the
approval of a storage tank field for up to 6 fuel tanks (these tanks store fuel oil and
diesel fuel). Federated Co-op is requesting an amendment to their PUD to allow a
seventh tank within their tank containment area. The new tank is proposed to contain
10,000 gallons of the premium gasoline.
This item was reviewed at the July 9, 2019 Planning Commission meeting, at which
time the City Staff present the application and planning report and the Applicant present
their plans and studies. Upon receipt of this information the planning commission
continued the public hearing to its August 13, 2019 meeting asking that the applicant
meet with City Staff in an effort to further mitigate the public safety concerns presented
in the staff presentation. The Planning Commission also requested additional
information from the Fire Chief specific to emergency management concerns and
strategies.

ANALYSIS:
Additional Meetings: Since the July planning commission meeting the Applicant has
met with City staff on July 16th and August 6th, the result being the submission of a list of
mitigation and security efforts that Federated Co -Op is willing to undertake to reduce
safety concerns of the City. Exhibit s F and G attached to his report outlines the
Federated proposals.
Summit Companies Report: The installation of a new 10,000 gallon above ground
gasoline tank raises a number of issues related to public safety and adjoining land uses.
The applicant has submitted an evaluation report on the proposed new fuel tank being
placed in the existing outdoor tank containment area prepared by Summit Fire National
Consulting. This report offers the following findings:
1. The existing tank field meets minimum separation from property lines.
2. The containment area has diking and capacity to accommodate the new 10,000 tank.
3. The separation between tanks is adequate.
4. Existing pipelines are in a safe arrangement.
5. All aspects of the existing and proposed tank installation are in compliance with
applicable code requirements.
Fire Chief's Letter: Exhibit D is the Fire Chief's original review of the requested tank
field expansion which outlines the concerns of the Chief, Building Official, Building
Inspector/ Fire Marshal and County Emergency Management Coordinator.
Exhibit E is a new letter from the Fire Chief. That addresses the new proposal from the
applicant. The Chief states that the measures proposed by the Co -Op will provide more
security and a more training for both the fire department and Co -Op employees for
response to emergency operations. However, it is impossible to quantify or predict the
still present risk of adding another 10,000 gallon gasoline storage tank to the site.
The applicant in response to the City Staff concerns has identified the tank capacities
and fuel storage within these tanks over a 16 day period. These figures and averages
for the entire 16 day period demonstrate that the tanks not normally to full capacity and
12

on average the tank level fluctuate to averages ranging from Tank 2 (Dyed Diesel Non

The applicants have expressed a willingness to remove a smaller 1000 gallon tanks
currently used for gasoline storage in exchange for the larger 10,000 gallon tank as its
replacement. We note this because the amount of storage capacity over existing
condition will be 9000 gallons rather than the previous 10,000 gallon figure. The
aforementioned fuel storage numbers and the removal of an existing tank are provided
to demonstrate that the volume of fuel within each of the tanks is seldom at the total site
capacity.
The applicant has indicated that all of the fuel tanks are vented which prevents the
tanks from building up pressure within the tanks that would create an explosive
situation.
Zoning
The PUD/13-3 zoning will allow both the existing fuel storage and motor fuel stations
such as BP, Super America and Casey's by conditional use permit. The motor fuel
stations in the city are certainly closer to adjoining land uses and neighborhoods that
the separation offered by Federated Co-op, however, these fuel station tanks are below
ground and offer a different level of protection.
In discussion, with City staff the provision of an underground tank would be more
acceptable with regard to security and emergency management.
CONCLUSION:
The applicants have offered a number of measures / improvements to reduce potential
risks / hazards related to the current and additional fuel storage area at the Federated
Co -Op site. Staff agrees that these improvements provide more security and improve
13
Agenda Page 51
emergency response operations. However, there are still hazard risks associated with
the above ground storage of gasoline which is more flammable and potentially more
explosive than the other fuels being stored at the Federated Co-op site. Based on City
staff review and our meetings with the Applicants, we offer the following options for
consideration by the planning commission and City Council.
1. Recommendation for denial of the PUD amendment with the following findings.
• The addition of anew 10,000 gallon gasoline above ground storage tank will
almost double the gasoline storage on the site.
• Gasoline is more combustible than the other fuels stored at the site.
• The site offers not water supply to the site for the fire department.
• The Albert Fire Department lacks the equipment to handle a non -routine call at
the facility.
• The site offers no on -site, fire -fighting equipment that would assist the fire
department with a non -routine call at the facility.
• The new fuel storage tank does not meet the Emergency Response Guidelines
for downwind evacuation separations for adjoining land uses.
2. Federated Co-op continues to be a valued business within the City and the
expansion of the business is critical for their continued success. In this regard, City
Staff can recommend approval of additional gasoline storage with the condition that it is
an underground tank and meets the applicable performance standards of Section
4400.4 for a motor fuel station. With this approval the applicant shall submit a revised
site plan and tank construction plans for review and approval of the City Staff.
3. Federated Co -Op has offered a list of improvements that will further secure and
improved emergency operations for both the existing fuel tank field and the new 10,000
gallon tank. The fuel levels within the tanks are seldom at full capacity at the same time
and Federated is willing to remove one of the smaller gasoline tanks which will be
replace by the new larger tank. With the following conditions the Planning Commission
recommends that the City Council approve the addition of a 10,000 gallon above ground
gasoline storage tank based on the plans submitted dated ---------.
• The above ground tank meets all building and fire code requirements per the
Summit evaluation report.
Alarm: The applicant will train their employees and have the direct dial to the
police station if the monitor ever shows an issue. The alarm will go off if the tank
gets hotter than 100 degrees.
14
Agenda Page 52
• Monitor: The applicant will give the fire chief access to the fuel tank monitor in
cases of an emergency. Federated Co -Op staff will allow the Fire Department to
have access to their tank monitoring software via a mobile app. This app, which
is now in use by Federated Co -Op, would allow the Fire Department to virtually
"see" the tank levels and temperatures in each of the individual tanks. Access to
this application would be limited to the Fire Chief's iPad and the Fire
Department's Engine 11 iPad.
• Federated Co -Op employees, and their transport staff, will be trained in the use
of the above app and directed on when to call 9-1-1 should any tank show any
level or temperature issues.
• Security: The Applicant will bring in additional gravel in the low spots and will
anchor the fence in a manner that prevents trespass under the fence. The fence
anchoring will be subject to the approval of City Staff.
• Buy the fire department additional foam to help combat a fire. Quantities to be
determined by the Fire Chief.
• Safety training: The Applicant donate money for some additional joint training of
both the fire department and its employees in the establishment of an emergency
management plan for the site.
• Install dusk/dawn lighting in the loading area. This will aid in providing our
employees a safer loading environment. The addition of dusk/dawn lighting will
be a deterrent to site entry from outsiders. Lighting will be 90 degree cutoff light
fixtures consistent with current requirements.
• Federated Co-ops will install motion detectors on both gate areas that will
activate additional lighting to deter entry or tampering. Lighting will be consistent
with current requirements
• Electrical power will remain locked out during all non -business hours via a
padlocked breaker box. Federated Co-ops will explore pass code/key code
power options to provide additional protection.
• Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department on finding a third party
vendor to construct an Emergency Action Plan for the facility allowing both
Federated Co -Op staff and the Fire Department to train under one, unified, plan.
Federated Co -Op has indicated they would be willing to make a monetary
donation to fund this process. Federated Co -Op shall bear the expense for the
development of the Emergency Action plan specific to the site. The Action plan
shall be completed within 6 months of the PUD approval.
15

Federated Co -Op will remove any smaller fuel tanks on the property that are not
needed for their day-to-day operations.
• Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department to secure extra firefighting
foam to be used solely for any incidents at the Federated Co -Op facility.
Currently our foam supply comes in 5-gallon buckets, and is stored at the Fire
Department. The Fire Department would be comfortable having 100 gallons of

Project
Federated Coop purchased and rebuilt. the bulk petroleum plant east of ourfertilizer plant in 2013. This
plant currently has six:tanks with a combined storage of approximakeiy 50,000 gallons, The petroleum
business has continued to grow, requiring Federated to add an additlonal.deliveiry truck.and driver.
Federated now eiriploys eight full time and four seasonal people at our Albertville location, With this
growth, there has been an increase in demand for additional product and capacity at.4ur plant.
Federated would like to apply for an amendment to the PUD for an addition of one 10,000 gallon
storage tank, to be added to the existing bulk petroleum facility, for the purpose of adding pre mlum
non-oxy gasollne. Federated has contracted with Summit Fire National Consulting to. do a code review,
evaluate the existing facility and the proposed fuel tank installation. I have provided a copy along with
the application. All areas are fenced and secured.

RE: Federated Co-Ops PUD Amendment Application
Case No: 2019-004PM
June 17th, 2019
On June 11th, 2019 City Staff met to discuss the application for a PUD amendment from Federated Co-
Ops to add a 7th (10,000 gallon) bulk fuel storage tank on their property at 5888 Lamont Av NE.
Present at this meeting were Eric Bullen (Fire Chief), Paul Heins (Building Official), Jim Hildebrandt
(Building Inspector / Fire Marshal), and Maeghan Becker (Building Permit Tech).
As part of their application process, Federated Co-Ops enlisted the services of Summit Fire National
Consulting (SFNC) for the purpose of doing a code review of the applicable requirements and
evaluate the proposed new fuel tank installation. City Staff believes that the Fire Code review was
thorough, complete and, outside of a couple minor variations, believes that both the previous bulk
fuel tank installation and the proposed 7th bulk fuel tank would meet applicable code and standards.
Despite the code review, City Staff has several safety and emergency management concerns
regarding the Federated Co-Ops PUD Amendment Application from a risk management perspective.
have also been in contact with the Wright County Director of Emergency Management, Seth Hansen,
and he agrees with the concerns detailed below:
1. Limited access, to the current site, for the Fire Department.
2. No water supply, at the current site, for the Fire Department.
3. The Fire Department lacks the equipment needed to handle a non -routine call at the
facility.
4. There is no, on -site, firefighting equipment that would assist in non -routine calls at the
facility.
EXHIBIT
Agend&Page 58
5. Minimum Security of the bulk fuel facility.
a. Federated Co -Op staff does a great job of managing the facility during operational
hours. There are currently no after -hour security features for the property.
6. Emergency Response Guidelines outline an initial downwind evacuation of at least 300
meters (1000 feet) for large gasoline spills and if a storage tank is involved in a fire,
ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800
meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. Currently, the proximity to residential and public
gathering areas from the approved six tanks are:
a. 170' to the Albertville Friendly City Days band stage and beer gardens.
b. 210' to the nearest residence.
c. 245' to the Central Park pavilion
d. 500' to the Albertville City Hall
e. 770' to the STMA Arena
f. 800' to the Albertville Fire Hall
7. The requested additional fuel tank is for 10,000 gallons of premium unleaded gasoline.
This would almost double the amount of highly flammable, potentially explosive, gasoline
being kept on site.
S. Extra fuel tanks have been added to the facility since the initial PUD application, adding to
the fuel storage already on -site.
Under its current conditions, the risks associated with the Federated Co-Ops bulk fuel storage facility
already exceed what we are able to manage as a Fire Department. It is City Staffs' belief that adding
an extra 10,000 gallon tank of gasoline storage will further increase those risks.

TO: Alan Brixius —City Planner
FROM: Eric Bullen — Fire Chief
RE: Federated Co-Ops PUD Amendment Application
Case No: 2019-004PM
August 6th, 2019:
On July 16th, City Staff met with representatives from Federated Co -Op to discuss the items raised at the
Planning Commission meeting on July 9th
As a result of this meeting, Federated Co -Op proposed several improvements to the bulk fuel site, and
other miscellaneous items, with the goal of reducing and mitigating not only the current risks found at the
site, but the added risk of the proposed additional fuel tank.
On August 6th, City Staff met with Federated Co -Op reps at the bulk fuel site to further discuss these items
and identify any other site improvements or Staff suggestions.
As a result of these meetings and the attached communication provided by Federated Co -Op, I would
request that any further discussion or approvals regarding the proposed 7th fuel storage tank include
these items:
• Federated Co -Op staff will allow the Fire Department to have access to their tank monitoring
software via a mobile app. This app, which is now in use by Federated Co -Op, would allow the Fire
Department to virtually "see" the tank level and temperature in each of the individual tanks.
Access to this application would be limited to the Fire Chief's !Pad and the Fire Department's
Engine 11 Wad.
• Federated Co -Op employees, and their transport staff, will be trained in the use of the above app
and directed on when to call 9-1-1 should any tank show any level or temperature issues.
• Federated Co -Op will ensure the fence around the bulk fuel site is intact and in contact with the
ground. Federated Co -Op will explore options to make sure the clearance space between any
gates and the ground is as minimal as possible, while still allowing for the full use of the gates
during any weather.
Agend&Page 60 EXHIBIT
• Federated Co -Op will install permanent lights in the bulk fuel storage facility to assist in their own
operations, but to also provide limited security to the site. Federated Co -Op will also provide
motion -activated security lighting at both truck gates leading into the bulk fuel storage facility.
• Federated Co -Op will explore viable options for an electronic lock -out / tag -out device for the
electrical box that allows access to the fuel pumps after hours. Currently the electrical box is
locked with a padlock.
• Federated Co -Op will remove any smaller fuel tanks on the property that are not needed for their
day-to-day operations.
• Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department on finding a third party vendor to construct
an Emergency Action Plan for the facility allowing both Federated Co -Op staff and the Fire
Department to train under one, unified, plan. Federated Co -Op has indicated they would be
willing to make a monetary donation to fund this process.
• Federated Co -Op will work with the Fire Department to secure extra firefighting foam to be used
solely for any incidents at the Federated Co -Op facility. Currently our foam supply comes in 5-
gallon buckets, and is stored at the Fire Department. The Fire Department would be comfortable
having 100 gallons of foam on hand for the Federated Co -Op facility. Federated Co -Op has
indicated they would be open to purchasing foam for potential use at their facility.
Attached to this Memorandum is an email from Ken 0' Brien discussing the proposals from Federated Co -
Op. Also included are the average tank capacities of each bulk fuel storage tank over a recent 14-day
period.
I do believe that the above proposals will make the bulk fuel storage site more protected from a security
standpoint and more streamlined from a training and emergency operations standpoint.
What is impossible to quantify, or predict, are the still -present risks associated with adding the proposed
fuel storage tank holding 10,000 gallons of premium unleaded gasoline. The proposed tank would almost
double the maximum amount of highly flammable, potentially explosive, gasoline being kept on site.

Subject: Albertville bulk fuel site
Ala n,
Here are a few things Federated Coops can offer in hopes to mitigate any situations at the bulk fuel site in Albertville and
address some of Fire Chief Eric Bullen's concerns.
• Alarm -We will make sure Kane and our employees have the direct dial to the police station if the monitor every
shows an issue. I spoke with Bob N, the alarm will go off if the tank get's hotter than 100 degrees.
• Monitor -We can give the fire chief access to the monitor in cases of an emergency. Bob N will get a screen shot
of the monitor to include. He will also look at our two week history of inventory to show them on average how
much fuel is in the tanks.
• Security -We will bring in additional gravel in the low spots and could explore putting up the cement block
around the base of the fence on the rail road side. The challenge will be where the gates open. I am in the camp
if someone wants to get in they will cut the fence.
• Motion Lights- We will upgrade our lights to LED with motion.
• Buy the fire department additional foam to help combat a fire.
• Evacuation plan- this is up to the chief. Mark you could probably add some thoughts.
• Safety training- If they are a 501c we could donate money for some additional training.

Your thoughts on the following email ?
Al & Eric
Thank you for taking the time to walk through our petroleum site Tuesday.
Daily average gasoline gallons in inventory were provided. one could assume the daily average of gasoline would
double with the addition of another tank.
Federated Co-ops proposes the following to make the site safer for our employees, firefighters, and our community.
Install dusk/dawn lighting in the loading area.
This will aid in providing our employees a safer loading environment.
The addition of dusk/dawn lighting will be a deterrent to site entry from outsiders.
Lighting will be consistent with current requirements.
Considering both gates will have space underneath them, Federated Co-ops will Install motion detectors on both gate
areas that will activate additional lighting to deter entry or tampering.
Lighting will be consistent with current requirements
Position crushed rock at the base of the fencing to deter entry.
Electrical power will remain locked out during all non -business hours via a padlocked breaker box. Federated Co-ops will
explore pass code/key code power options to provide additional protection.
Federated Co-ops will add and include any emergency personnel who fine it beneficial to the tank monitor alert
system. The alert is activated with any non -routine inventory decline or product temperature reading over 100 degrees.
Federated Co-ops would like to see a site specific Emergency Action Plan for the facility for the safety of the fire
department and first responders. our employees at the site would be required to take part in this training as
well. Possible resources for the development of this plan would the State Fire Marshal's office or a hazard materials
specialist. Federated Co-ops is willing to make a financial donation to the City to assist in the development and
implementation of such a plan.
Please let me know if there are other concerns we can help mitigate.
Thanks

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
City Administrator's Update
August 15, 2019
Centennial Planning: The last committee meeting will be Monday, August 26 at 7:00 p.m.
Budget Workshops: The next workshop will immediately follow Monday's Council meeting.
Hana Building: The ownership group has pulled a demolition permit and I expect the building to
be down within the week.
Newsletter: We are working with Prime Advertising to move to a quarterly publication that
includes advertising options for businesses.
City Website: We are seeking quotes to update the city's website. The current site is
approximately 7 years old and in need of many technology upgrades.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
70th Street Project (Kadler to CSAH 19): Construction is expected to start August 19th and will
take approximately 10 days, weather dependent. This project will include MnRoad test
sections to help better understand how recycling can be effectively used to avoid reflective
cracking in the future. These test sections will be part of a national research effort and
monitored for a number of years.
WWTP Forcemain Project: Crews started construction along CR 19 approximately 2000' north
of 80th Street. Approximately 1000' of sewer pipe along CR 19 is installed. The plan is to
continue moving north and have pipe installed to the Riverwood Property by the end of
August. Construction is scheduled to begin at the treatment plant the week of August 26tn
Savitski Drainage: Plans are complete. A condition of the railroad permit is we need to get soil
borings in railroad right-of-way prior to construction. We are in the process of obtaining quotes
to complete the soil borings. The Geotechnical Company will also need a permit from the
railroad to conduct the borings. This potentially could push construction into 2020.
1-94 Improvements Update: The design build HCPCi/Mead & Hunt is working on the schedule and
coordination of the project. Work is planned to begin on the west side of CSAH 19 and with
construction of the EB C-D road and bridge . During bridge construction, the existing WB C-D road will
be used for mainline traffic and there will be periods where the eastbound exit ramps need to be
temporarily closed.
2019 Street and Trail Improvements: Construction is generally complete. The contractor is
working on punchlist boulevard restoration.
