Others present: Interim City Administrator Thistle, City Engineer/Public Works Director
Nafstad, City Attorney Couri, City Clerk Olson
PUBLIC HEARING ON TRUTH-IN-TAXATION
Thistle gave a report on the proposed 2013 levy. He stated the levy over the last five (5) years
has steadily gone down.
Thistle reported there were decreases in rentals of city buildings, administration fees, city hall
departments, and capital reserves. Increases were in the fire contract with Otsego, attorney and
planner fees and fire department back pay. The total increase to the 2013 levy is $62,834 with a
debt service increase of $68,822 and a reduction of $5,656 in operations. The total levy increase
is 2%.
Vetsch asked for documentation on the fire back pay to explain how that occurred. Nafstad
stated the Finance Director and the Fire Chief have the information. He understood that if was a
small increment in the time keeping software that did not calculate correctly. Thistle stated it
would be noted in the audit.
Nafstad stated that this will be the sixth year there has been a decrease in the operations budget.

Vetsch hopes residents realize there are four lines, or four entities, that receive tax dollars.
Nafstad would like to see an article in the newsletter explaining the tax statements.
Thistle commented they have reached the point where they have diminished what they can do in
terms of cost savings and there is not much left that can be cut. He stated there is a good article
on what cities can do for cost savings and Albertville has done almost every item on the list. He
stated that additional cuts will begin to affect core services. He stated the importance of keeping
up with inflation.
Hendrickson would like to see a long term financial plan, so that future Councils aren’t set up to
have large levy increases.
Vetsch wanted to look at the compost site and see if we are getting anything in return for the use
of the site. Nafstad stated there are some agreements between the public works staff in both
cities for plowing, signs and use of equipment in Albertville.

1) Approve 2013 Final Budget and Levy
Thistle reported the 2012 total budget was $3,815,006 and in 2013 the total
proposed budget is $3,877,690. The 2012 total levy was $3,142,272 and in
2013 the proposed levy is $3,205,160. The difference from 2012 to 2013 is 2%
and that is all from debt service.
Hendrickson inquired what the debt service would be in future years. Nafstad
stated that overall the debt service should remain the same and may have the
potential to drop slightly in 2014. He stated that six years of reduced budgeting
for operations is hard to sustain and they will have to begin levying for
operations or have diminished services.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve Resolution 2012-
051 entitled a Resolution Adopting Property Tax Levy Collectible in 2013.

2. PURCHASING PROCEDURES
Thistle reported that he has reviewed policies from other cities and has put together a set of
procedures for purchasing, essentially documenting what the City is currently doing. It sets
limits for staff purchases. Department heads may purchase up $1,000 and anything must get
permission from the Finance Director for anything between $1,000 and $2,500. Since the
Administrator is the purchasing agent for the City, the Administrator may make purchases up to
$5,000 without City Council approval. Council could change that limit if they wish to do so.
Thistle stated this is really a guide for City staff while making purchases.
Thistle discussed the different types of purchasing such as price agreements, emergency
purchasing, disaster purchasing and use of credit cards.
Meehan asked if there was a limit set on credit cards and what they are used for. Nafstad stated
that it is a low limit amount on the cards and they are generally used for small purchases that
cannot be paid by check or signing up for conferences.

M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2012 Minutes\City Council\M 12 03 2012 Workshop.doc
Nafstad stated there is a purchasing section in the City Code and they would need some minor
updates to move forward.
3. EVALUATION FORMAT AND PROCESS FOR CITY ADMINISTRATOR
Thistle presented the format to the Council. He stated the previous evaluation format for both
employees and the City Administrator were cumbersome, difficult to work with and had
questionable meaningful outcomes. He reported that he looked at a different number of
resources in both the private and public sector. He felt the evaluation should be understandable
and easy to utilize.
Thistle reviewed the major areas of the City Administrator evaluation which included individual
characteristics, professional skills, relations with City Council, policy execution, reporting and
communications, citizen relations, staffing, community, supervision, fiscal management and
community development/redevelopment knowledge. Each of these major areas includes four to
five key components. The evaluation can be used by the City Administrator as a self evaluation
as well as used by the Council and others.
4. WATER AND SEWER BUDGETS AND FEES
Nafstad reported on the projected revenue and expenses for the enterprise funds. He explained
the shortages in the water and sewer funds and stated these would be annual. He explained that
to make the funds whole, they would need to increase rates. Both the stormwater and recycling
funds are funding themselves and are essentially whole. Nafstad stated the water and sewer
accounts are not being funded for depreciation and to make those funds whole they are pulling
money out of capital reserves.
Nafstad also reported that in approximately ten years the City would need to make improvements
to the wastewater treatment plant and funds for that are not in the budget.
Hendrickson thought fees were set by the Joint Powers Water Board. Nafstad replied the bulk of
the water fees are set by the Board and Albertville has its own portion in addition to that. He
showed a sample water bill that identified the fees for the Joint Powers Water Board and City of
Albertville.
Hendrickson asked how long the funds have not been covered by the fees. Nafstad stated they
began funding depreciation about four or five years ago and it is much needed.
Staff is recommending a phased approach over about five years. It would add $1.00 each to the
base fee for water and sewer per month. This would happen each year for five years.
Couri stated that rather than coming back each year to set the fees, they could set the fees for the
following years at one time. A future Council would be held to those fees unless they were
changed. Nafstad stated that making it up what is needed in one year would be too much for the

residents, so they are proposing the five year plan. The increase per household would be $24.00
annually. He stated that in one year they could make up about $58,000.
Meehan spoke about the deadline to get phosphorous levels reduced. Nafstad stated these fees
do not address the costs for future improvements to meet the requirements.
Sorensen asked about putting the increase on the tiered rates. Nafstad replied that applying it to
the base fee is equitable to all residents.
Vetsch inquired about the administration costs increasing in the funds. Nafstad explained that ten
percent goes to the general fund to cover operation costs and it shows as an expense. It is almost
a line item transfer to the general fund to cover costs. He stated it is a generic number as they
don’t have the time keeping software that identifies the exact time spent working in each
department. Thistle stated that analysis is done to determine the percentages.
Sorensen noticed that there were some administration costs under recycling. He thought when
the contract was approved, there was a motion that a separate fund be set up just for recycling.
He asked staff to follow up
Couri stated that depreciation is a cash item in the future and if it is not funded it will result in
higher rates and bond issues. He stated the wastewater expansion is not a capacity necessitated
expansion which most likely will be funded by rates. If the funds are in poor shape going into
the expansion, it will be difficult. He felt they are on the right path to get the funds in shape
prior to the expansion.

SUBJECT: CONSENT (City Clerk) - 2013 CITY OBSERVED HOLIDAYS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
passing the following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2012-0053 entitled a Resolution Establishing the 2013
City Observed Holidays.
BACKGROUND: Each year a resolution is required establishing holidays that are observed by
the City for the upcoming year.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Albertville City Offices follow the general
practice of observing set U.S. Legal holidays with the exception of Columbus Day, which is
viewed as a floating holiday taken on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. Because City Hall has
switched to a four day week, the holiday hours from the Friday after Thanksgiving are evened out
over the remaining holidays to provide 10 hours of vacation for those 10 hour days (see attached
resolution and chart). In November of this year, Council approved closing City Hall at 12 Noon
on Monday, December 24 for Christmas Eve. City employees will be allowed to use vacation or
comp-time for the remaining hours and Public Works employees are allotted five hours of holiday
pay.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations as it relates to
approval of the Resolution setting the 2013 City Observed Holidays.
LEGAL ISSUES: The City Council has the authority to set the annual holiday schedule.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
M:\Public Data\Requests for Council Actions (RCA)\2012\12 17 2012 Setting Fee Schedule.doc
Meeting Date: December 17, 2012
December 13, 2012
SUBJECT: FINANCE - 2013 VARIOUS FEE SCHEDULES FOR SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
passing the following motion:
MOTION TO:
1) Approve Resolution No. 2012-055 entitled a Resolution Setting Fees for Various Services
or Violation Fines within the Albertville city limits.
2) Approve Resolution 2012-056 entitled Resolution Setting 2013 Water Utility Rates and
2014-2017 Water Utility Base Rates
3) Approve Resolution 2012-057 entitled Resolution Setting 2013 Sewer Utility Rates and
2014-2017 Sewer Utility Base Rates
BACKGROUND: The Albertville City Council sets the fees for various services and violation
fines at the last meeting of each year. These fees will take effect January 1, 2013.
At a workshop discussion in early December, staff presented Council figures on the Water and
Sewer Utility funds. It was staff’s recommendation to slowly increase the base utility fees over a
course of five years rather than to implement a large utility rate increase in order to balance the
funds.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the policy of the Mayor and City Council to
adopt or amend the Resolution setting fees. The resolutions adopting the sewer and water utility
base rate increases will require those base rate increases in the coming years unless overturned by
future Council(s).
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are financial considerations as it relates to approval
of the Resolution setting fees for various services and violation fines in Albertville. Any increases
in fees are to cover City expenses.
LEGAL ISSUES: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and Council possess the
authority to set fees schedules for services.

December 13, 2012
SUBJECT: FINANCE – 2013A PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF GENERAL
OBLIGATION SEWER REVENUE CROSSOVER REFUNDING BONDS, 2013A $2,510,000
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2012-058 entitled a Resolution awarding the sale of
General Obligation Sewer Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds; Series 2013A.
BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City of Albertville bonded to fund the City’s Wastewater
Treatment Facility.
KEY ISSUES: This refunding does not increase the remaining length of the debt for the City of
Albertville.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to review and approve redemption of
bonds on first call date if it is feasible and has significant savings.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Refinancing this bond does not affect the general fund
budget. The City could save an estimated $190,000 in interest by re-issuing this bond.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the statutory authority to reissue
bonds pursuant to the bond indentures. Bond Attorney Steve Bubul of Kennedy and Graven will
represent the City insuring the proper issuance of the bonds.
Responsible Person/Department: Tina Lannes, Finance
Approved by: RDT

1.05. Optional Redemption. The City may elect on December 1, 2020, and on any day thereafter

the option of the City and in such manner as the City will determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC (as defined in Section 8 hereof) of the particular amount of
such maturity to be prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such
maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in such
maturity to be redeemed. Prepayments will be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
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 June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 2013, to the registered owners of record 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) Register. 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.
Agenda Page 38
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 4
(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 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 a 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 Charges. 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 any 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 filing 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 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 any proceeding 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 Registrar. 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
Agenda Page 39
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 5
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 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 this Council, the City Finance Director 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 all 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 any 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. 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.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds one or
more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may
be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and delivery
of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and cancelled.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Form. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form as attached hereto
as EXHIBIT A.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The Administrator is authorized and directed to obtain a copy of
the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is to
be complete except as to dating thereof and cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.
Section 4. Bonds; Security; Escrow.
4.01. Funds and Accounts. For the convenience and proper administration of the money to be
borrowed and repaid on the Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds, and to provide adequate and specific security
for the Purchaser and holders from time to time of the Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds, there is herein
created a special fund to be designated the General Obligation Sewer Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds,
Series 2013A Fund (the “Fund”) to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a
bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the
City. The Fund will be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Series 2005 Bonds have
been paid and until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon will have been fully paid. There will be
maintained in the Fund two separate accounts, to be designated the Escrow Account and the Sewer Revenue
Bonds Account.
Agenda Page 40
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 6
(a) Escrow Account. The Escrow Account will be maintained as an Escrow Account
(the “Escrow Account”) with Northland Trust Services, Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is a
suitable financial institution within the State, whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, whose combined capital and surplus is not less than $500,000 and said
financial institution is hereby designated escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) for the Escrow
Account. All proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be received by the Escrow Agent and applied to
fund the Escrow Account, to pay costs of issuing the Bonds or to fund the Debt Service Fund under
Section 4.01(b). Proceeds of the Bonds not used to pay costs of issuance or to fund the Debt Service
Fund under Section 4.01(b) are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the Escrow Account,
together with all investment earnings thereon. The Escrow Account will be invested in securities
maturing or callable at the option of the holder on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as will
be required to provide sufficient funds, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow
Account, to pay when due the interest to accrue on each Bond, and to pay when due on the
Redemption Date, the principal amount of each of the Series 2005 Bonds then outstanding. From the
Escrow Account there will be paid (i) all interest paid on, or to be paid on, or to accrue on, the Bonds
to and including the Redemption Date (as defined herein); and (ii) the principal of the Series 2005
Bonds due by reason of redemption on December 1, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”). The Escrow
Account will be irrevocably appropriated to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds
until the proceeds of the Bonds therein are applied to prepayment of the Series 2005 Bonds. The
moneys in the Escrow Account will be used solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other
purpose, except that any surplus in the Escrow Account may be remitted to the City, all in
accordance with the Escrow Agreement (hereafter defined) by and between the City and the Escrow
Agent. Any moneys remitted to the City upon termination of the Escrow Agreement will be
deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
(b) Sewer Revenue Bonds Account. The City will continue to operate and maintain its
Sewer Revenue Bonds Account o which will be credited all gross revenues of the sewer system of
the City and out of which will be paid all normal and reasonable expenses of current operations of
the sewer system. Any balance therein will be deemed net revenues (the “Net Revenues”) and will
be transferred from time to time to the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account of the Debt Service Fund as
set forth herein. To the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account there is hereby pledged and irrevocably
appropriated and there will be credited: (i) any balance remitted to the City upon the termination of
the Escrow Agreement (as defined herein); (ii) Net Revenues of the sewer system and not otherwise
pledged and applied to the payment of other obligations of the City, in an amount, together with
other funds which may herein or hereafter from time to time be irrevocably appropriated to the
account sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 475.61 of the Act for the payment of the
principal of and interest on the Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds; (iii) amounts over the minimum
purchase price paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for deposit in the Sewer Revenue
Bonds Account in accordance with Section 1.03; (iv) all investment earnings on funds in the Sewer
Revenue Bonds Account; and (v) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are
appropriated by the City Council to the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account. The amount of any surplus
remaining in the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account when the Sewer Revenue Refunding Bonds and
interest thereon are paid will be used as provided in Section 475.61, subdivision 4 of the Act.
There will always be retained in the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account a sufficient amount to
pay principal of and interest on all the Bonds, and the Finance Director must report any current or
anticipated deficiency in the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account to the City Council. The debt service
fund heretofore established for the Series 2005 Bonds pursuant to the resolution authorizing the
issuance and sale of the Series 2005 Bonds (the “Refunded Sewer Revenue Bonds Resolution”) shall
be terminated on December 1, 2015, following the redemption of the Series 2005 Bonds, and all
monies therein are hereby transferred to the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account herein created.
Agenda Page 41
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 7
4.02. Findings. It is hereby found and determined that based upon information provided by the
Purchaser of the Bonds, the issuance of the Bonds will result in a reduction of debt service cost to the City of
the Series 2005 Bonds, such that the present value of such debt service or interest cost savings (the
“Reduction”) is at least _____% of the debt service on the Series 2005 Bonds. The Reduction, after the
inclusion of all authorized expenses of refunding in the computation of the effective interest rate on the Bonds
is adequate to authorize the issuance of the Bonds as provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67,
Subdivisions 12 and 13.
4.03. Investment of Funds. The moneys in the Debt Service Fund will be used solely to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds or any other bonds hereafter issued and made payable from the Fund.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding
investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments,
except (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the
Bonds were issued, and (ii) in addition to the above, in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of
the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to
time held in the Fund (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal and interest to become
due on the Bonds) in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be
invested without regard as to yield will not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions
imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable temporary
periods or minor portion made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds of
the Bonds and money in the Fund will not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or
insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment
would cause the Bonds to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
4.04. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and interest on
the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City will be
and are hereby pledged. If the balance in the Escrow Account or the Debt Service Account, as the case may
be, is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable
therefrom, the deficiency will be promptly paid out of money in the general fund of the City which is
available for such purpose, and such general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the
Escrow Account or the Debt Service Account, as the case may be, when a sufficient balance is available
therein.
4.05 Debt Coverage. It is hereby determined that the estimated collection of Net Revenues of
the sewer system for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds will produce at least five
percent in excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the principal and interest payments on the
Refunded Sewer Revenue Bonds maturing after the Redemption Date; therefore, no tax levy is needed at
this time.
4.06. Filing. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this Resolution
with the County Auditor of Wright County and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act.
4.08. Prior Resolution Pledges. The pledges and covenants of the City made by the Refunded
Bonds Resolution (the “Prior Resolution”) relating to the ownership, protection of and other particulars
governing the operation and financial management of the sewer system of the City and the improvements
thereto are restated and confirmed in all respects. The provisions of the Prior Resolution is hereby
supplemented to the extent necessary to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

Section 5. Refunding; Findings; Redemption of Series 2005 Bonds.
5.01. Deposit of Proceeds. As of the date of delivery of the Bonds, proceeds of the Bonds in the
amount of $____________ (the “Proceeds”) are pledged and appropriated and will be deposited in the
Escrow Account. Proceeds of the Bonds used to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds ($________) will be
deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Proceeds in excess of amounts needed
to fund the Escrow Account and pay costs of issuance of the Bonds are appropriated to the Debt Service
Account in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of this Resolution.
5.02. Payment of the Bonds and the Series 2005 Bonds. It is found and determined that the
Proceeds available and appropriated to the Escrow Account will be sufficient to pay principal of and interest
on the Bonds through the Redemption Date, and to pay at maturity or redemption all of the principal of and
redemption premium (if any) on each of the Series 2005 Bonds maturing after the Redemption Date.
5.03. Notice of Payment. The Series 2005 Bonds maturing on December 1, 2016 and thereafter
will be redeemed and prepaid on December 1, 2015. The Series 2005 Bonds will be redeemed and prepaid in
accordance with their terms and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Notice of
Call for Redemption attached hereto as Exhibit C, which terms and conditions are hereby approved and
incorporated herein by reference. The Registrar for the Series 2005 Bonds is authorized and directed to send
a copy of the Notice of Redemption to the registered holder of the Series 2005 Bonds.
5.04. Escrow Agreement. On or prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the Mayor and the City
Administrator are authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City an escrow agreement (the “Escrow
Agreement”) with the Escrow Agent in substantially the form now on file with the City Administrator. All
essential terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, including payment by the City of reasonable
charges for the services of the Escrow Agent, are approved and adopted and made a part of this Resolution,
and the City covenants that it will promptly enforce all provisions thereof in the event of default thereunder
by the Escrow Agent.
Section 6. Authentication of Transcript.
6.01. City Proceedings and Records. The officers of the City are authorized and directed to
prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and to the attorneys approving the Bonds certified copies of proceedings
and records of the City relating to the Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such
other certificates, affidavits and transcripts as may be required to show the facts within their knowledge or as
shown by the books and records in their custody and under their control, relating to the validity and
marketability of the Bonds, and such instruments, including any heretofore furnished, will be deemed
representations of the City as to the facts stated therein.
6.02. Certification as to Official Statement. The Mayor, City Administrator and Finance Director
are hereby authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Official Statement prepared and
circulated in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds and that to the best of their knowledge and
belief the Official Statement is a complete and accurate representation of the facts and representations made
therein as of the date of the Official Statement.
Section 7. Tax Covenants.
7.01. Tax-Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of
the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees, or agents any action
which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect
Agenda Page 43
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 9
at the time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all
affirmative action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become
subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as
hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds. To that end, the City will comply with all
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the
interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to
temporary periods for investments and limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on
the Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States (unless the City qualifies for any
exemption from rebate requirements based on timely expenditure of proceeds of the Bonds, in accordance
with the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations).
7.02. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds
or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be “private
activity bonds” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
7.03. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt
obligations” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following factual
statements and representations:

(b) the City designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private

(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year

7.04. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any federal
procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by this section.
Section 8. Book-Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
8.01. 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 set forth in Section 1.04 hereof. Upon initial issuance,
the ownership of each such 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.
8.02. 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
Agenda Page 44
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 10
ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other than a
registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the Registrar), of any notice with
respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other
person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the 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 Finance
Director 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 Finance Director will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the “Representation Letter”) which will 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.
8.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interest, 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 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.
8.05. 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 be
made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC’s Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the
Representation Letter.

means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and the City Administrator and

and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Agenda Page 45
415091v1 MNI AL141-58 11
Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the City to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate will not 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 10. 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.

in the Resolution, certain general obligation bonds of the City, pursuant to and in full conformity with the
Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, and Section

Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A Fund, and after the Redemption Date from net revenues of the City’s
municipal sewer system, as set forth in the Resolution to which reference is made for a full statement of rights
and powers thereby conferred. The full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably pledged for payment of

As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Bond is

in person or by the owner’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender hereof together with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner or the owner’s
attorney; and may also be surrendered in exchange for Bonds of other authorized denominations. Upon such
transfer or exchange the City will cause a new Bond or Bonds to be issued in the name of the transferee or
registered owner, of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on
the same date, subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or governmental charge required to be paid with
respect to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as
the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for
all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Registrar will be affected by any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED That in and by the Resolution, the City has
covenanted and agreed that it will continue to own and operate the sewer system free from competition by
other like municipal utilities; that adequate insurance on said system and suitable fidelity bonds on
employees will be carried; that proper and adequate books of account will be kept showing all receipts
and disbursements relating to the Sewer Revenue Bonds Account, into which it will pay all of the gross
revenues from the sewer system; that it will also create and maintain a Sewer Bonds Account of the
General Obligation Sewer Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A Debt Service Fund, into
which it will pay, out of the net revenues from the sewer system, a sum sufficient to pay principal hereof
and interest thereon when due; and that it will provide, by ad valorem tax levies, for any deficiency in
required net revenues of the sewer system.
IT IS CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts, conditions and things
required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen and to be
performed preliminary to and in the issuance of this Bond in order to make it a valid and binding general
obligation of the City in accordance with its terms, have been done, do exist, have happened and have been
performed as so required, and that the issuance of this Bond does not cause the indebtedness of the City to
exceed any constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness.
This Bond is not valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under the
Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Registrar by manual
signature of one of its authorized representatives.

REFUNDING ESCROW AGREEMENT
Relating to:
$4,000,000 General Obligation Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2005A
THIS AGREEMENT, made pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 13
(the “Act”) and executed by and between the City of Albertville, Wright County, Minnesota (the
“City”), and Northland Trust Services, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, a banking corporation (the
“Escrow Agent”):
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto recite and, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, covenant and agree as follows:
1. The City, in accordance with a resolution adopted by its governing body on
December 17, 2012, entitled "Resolution Awarding the Sale of $_________ General Obligation
Sewer Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series 2013A; Fixing Their Form and Specifications;
Directing Their Execution and Delivery; Providing for Their Payment; Providing for the Escrowing
and Investment of the Proceeds Thereof; and Providing for the Redemption of Bonds Refunded
Thereby" (the “Resolution”), a certified copy of the latter of which has been filed with the Escrow
Agent, has provided for the refunding of certain outstanding general obligation bonds (the
“Refunded Bonds”) of the City, described in said Resolution, by the issuance and sale of refunding
obligations, designated as "General Obligation Sewer Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds, Series
2013A" (the “Refunding Bonds”).
2. The City has also, in accordance with the Resolution, issued and sold the Refunding
Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $_________. The City has deposited with the Escrow
Agent proceeds of the Refunding Bonds in the amount of $____________ (par amount of
$_________, together with original issue premium of $_________, accrued interest of $________,
less underwriter’s discount of $_________). $____________ of such funds shall be invested in
securities which are general obligations of the United States, securities whose principal and interest
payments are guaranteed by the United States, and securities issued by agencies of the United States
(collectively, the “Federal Securities”), as described in the schedule which is attached hereto,
marked Exhibit A and made a part hereof, $.__ shall be an initial cash deposit to the Escrow Fund,
and $______ shall be used to pay the costs of issuance related to the Refunding Bonds, as delineated
in Exhibit C. The City has irrevocably deposited all such proceeds, cash and securities with the
Escrow Agent on the date of this Agreement. Proceeds in excess of these amounts will be
forwarded to the City for deposit into the debt service fund for the Refunding Bonds. It is
understood and agreed that the dates and amounts of payments of principal and interest due on the
securities so deposited are as indicated in Exhibit A, and that the principal and interest payments
due on such securities together with the initial cash deposit are such as to provide the funds required
to pay all interest payable on the Refunding Bonds to the date on which any of the Refunded Bonds
have been directed to be prepaid, as stated in the Resolution and to pay the redemption price of the
Refunded Bonds on such date. The Refunded Bonds are the following:
Agenda Page 55
415089v1 MNI AL141-58 2
$4,000,000 General Obligation Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2005A, dated
December 1, 2005 (the “Refunded Bonds”), of which the outstanding principal
amount of $2,365,000 representing the 2016 through 2025 maturities of the
Refunded Bonds is callable on December 1, 2015;
3. The Escrow Agent acknowledges receipt of the securities described in paragraph 2
hereof and agrees that it will hold such securities in a special escrow account (the “Escrow
Account”) created by the Resolution in the name of the City, and will collect and receive on behalf
of the City all payments of principal and interest on such securities and will remit from the Escrow
Account (i) to the paying agent (the “Paying Agent") for the Refunding Bonds the funds required
from time to time for the payment of interest on the Refunding Bonds; and (ii) to the Paying Agent
for the Refunded Bonds the funds needed for the redemption and prepayment of the outstanding
principal amount of the Refunded Bonds on December 1, 2015. After provision for payment of all
remaining Refunded Bonds, the Escrow Agent will remit any remaining funds in the Escrow
Account to the City.
4. In order to insure continuing compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively the Code), the Escrow Agent agrees
that it will not reinvest any cash received in payment of the principal of and interest on the Federal
Securities held in the Escrow Account. This prohibition on reinvestment shall continue unless and
until an opinion is received by Escrow Agent from nationally recognized bond counsel that
reinvestments, as specified in said opinion, may be made in a manner consistent with the Code.
Reinvestment, if any, of amounts in the Escrow Account made pursuant to this paragraph may be
made only in direct obligations of the United States of America which mature prior to the next date
on which either principal or interest on the Refunded Bonds is payable.
5. Escrow Agent expressly waives any lien upon or claim against the moneys and
investments in the Escrow Account.
6. If at any time it shall appear to the Escrow Agent that the money in the Escrow
Account allocable for such use hereunder will not be sufficient to make any interest payment due to
the holders of any of the Refunding Bonds, or principal payment due to the holders of any of the
Refunded Bonds, the Escrow Agent shall immediately notify the City. The City thereupon shall
forthwith deposit in Escrow Account from funds on hand and legally available to it such additional
funds as may be required to meet fully the amount to become due and payable. The City
acknowledges its obligation to levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the City to the extent
required to produce moneys necessary for this purpose. The City and Escrow Agent acknowledge
receipt of a verification report from ___________________, certified public accountants, dated
January __, 2013, to the effect that such cash and securities are sufficient to comply with the
requirements of the Act.
7. The City will not repeal or amend the Resolution which calls the Refunded Bonds
for redemption on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Agent shall cause the Notice of Call for
Redemption attached hereto as Exhibit B, to be mailed not less than 30 days prior to the
Redemption Date of the Refunded Bonds to the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds for the
Agenda Page 56
415089v1 MNI AL141-58 3
purpose of giving notice not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered owners
of the Refunded Bonds to be redeemed, at the address appearing in the bond register and also to the
bank at which the principal and interest on the Refunded Bonds are then payable.
8. On or before January 1, 2014, and on or before January 1 of each year thereafter
until the termination of the Escrow Account, the Escrow Agent shall submit to the City a report
covering all money it shall have received and all payments it shall have made or caused to be made
hereunder during the preceding twelve months.
9. It is recognized and agreed that title to the Federal Securities and cash, if any, held in
the Escrow Account from time to time shall remain vested in the City but subject always to the prior
charge and lien thereon of this Agreement and the use thereof required to be made by this
Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall hold all such money and obligations in a special trust fund and
account separate and wholly segregated from all other funds and securities of the Escrow Agent,
and shall never commingle such money or securities with other money or securities; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require the Escrow Agent to keep the
identical monies, or any part thereof, received for the Escrow Account on hand, but moneys of an
equal amount (except to the extent such are represented by investments permitted under this
Agreement) shall always be maintained on hand as funds held by the Escrow Agent as trustee,
belonging to the City, and a special account shall at all times be maintained on the books of the
Escrow Agent, together with such investments. In the event of the Escrow Agent's failure to
account for any money or obligations held by it in the Escrow Account, such money and obligations
shall be and remain the property of the City, and if for any reason such money or obligations cannot
be identified, all other assets of the Escrow Agent shall be impressed with a trust for the amount
thereof, and the City shall be entitled to a preferred claim upon such assets. It is understood and
agreed that the responsibility of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement is limited to the
safekeeping and segregation of the funds and securities deposited with it in the Escrow Account,
and the collection of and accounting for the principal and interest payable with respect thereto.
10. This Agreement is made by the City for the benefit of the holders of the Refunded
Bonds, and is not revocable by the City, and the investments and other funds deposited in the
Escrow Account and all income therefrom have been irrevocably appropriated for the payment of
the callable principal amount of the Refunded Bonds at the Redemption Date and interest on the
Refunding Bonds to the Redemption Date in accordance with this Agreement.
11. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the City and
the Escrow Agent and their respective successors and assigns. In addition, this Agreement shall
constitute a third party beneficiary contract for the benefit of the holders of the Refunded Bonds and
said third party beneficiaries shall be entitled to enforce performance and observance by the City
and the Escrow Agent of the respective agreements and covenants herein contained as fully and
completely as if said third party beneficiaries were parties hereto. Any bank into which the Escrow
Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any bank resulting from any merger
or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any bank to which it may sell or transfer all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business shall, if the City approves, be the successor agent
without the execution of any document or the performance of any further act.
Agenda Page 57
415089v1 MNI AL141-58 4
12. The Escrow Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of its obligations
hereunder by giving to the City Administrator of the City written notice of such resignation not less
than 30 days before the date when the same is to take effect and by publication of a copy of such
notice in a daily or weekly Minnesota newspaper published in a Minnesota City of the first class, or
its metropolitan area, which circulates throughout the state and furnishes financial news as part of its
service, not less than 30 days prior to such date; provided that the Escrow Agent shall return to the
County the pro rata portion of its fee which is allocable to the period of time commencing on the
effective date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the date specified in the
notice, or upon the appointment and qualification of a successor prior to that date. In the event of
such resignation, a successor shall promptly be appointed by the City, and the City Administrator of
the City shall immediately give written notice thereof to the predecessor escrow agent and publish
the notice in the manner described in this paragraph 12. If, in a proper case, no appointment of a

Mayor and Council Request for Action
_____________________________________________________________________________
December 12, 2012
SUBJECT: PLANNING DEPARTMENT – ASHLEY FURNITURE COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN
APPROVAL
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2012-060 approving the Ashley Furniture
Comprehensive Sign Plan.
BACKGROUND: Ashley Furniture was constructed in 2001 on Outlots B and C of the Outlets
of Albertville, and is part of the larger Albertville Premium Outlet Mall planned unit
development (PUD) that was established in 1999. The lot is unique in that it is visible from I-94
and County Road 19, though it is accessed via a private road and has no public street frontage.
In 2002 the City approved a PUD comprehensive sign plan for Ashley Furniture, including a
north façade wall sign (114 square feet) and name plate sign (1 square foot), a south façade wall
sign (319 square feet), and a ground sign (64 square feet); all of these wall signs fell below the
15% of wall façade sign area limit.
With the opening of the I-94 C-D road and the exit ramp at county Road 19, Ashley Furniture
decided to pursue an amendment to their PUD comprehensive sign permit to request additional
signage to give the site exposure to the traffic at the exit ramp. They would like an expanded
wall sign for the north façade (238.6 square feet, or 3% of the north wall façade), to move the
existing north façade wall sign to the east building façade (114 square feet or 4.1% of the east
wall façade), and to add a new manual changeable copy sign on the east wall (200 square feet).
The Ashley Furniture store is a single occupancy building and under standard regulations it
would be allowed two wall signs per street frontage, not to exceed 15% of the building walls
fronting on the public right-of-ways. As described, the store doesn’t front on a public right-of-
way, but as described in the planning report dated December 5, 2012, planning staff believes that
the number and location of the requested signs are reasonable based on the properties unique
circumstances, the size of the building, and the limited sign areas being requested. Planning staff
recommended approval of all requested signs for the updated PUD comprehensive sign permit.
Once approved, the sign permit will allow:
South Wall – Wall Sign (Existing) 319.0 square feet
North Wall – Wall Sign (New) 238.6 square feet
East Wall – Wall Signs (New) 114.0 square feet
East Wall – Changeable Copy Sign (New) 200.0 square feet

December 11, 2012
SUBJECT: PLANNING DEPARTMENT – L & D TRUCKING COMPANY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the attached proposal from Diane Vinge:
BACKGROUND: City staff has been working with Ms. Vinge to place a business within her
building at 11800 61st Street NE. The business, a well and irrigation company, has chosen a site
that is more rural in character (i.e., Becker Township in Sherburne County). With the departure
of the prospective business, Ms. Vinge has inquired as to whether the City would be interested in
acquiring the property for $675,000 with the opportunity to pay for the property over time. City
staff has indicated that the purchase of this property is not within the City’s budget or planning,
but we would bring Ms. Vinge’s request before the City Council.
KEY ISSUES:
1. Past discussions with the hockey association and partner cities indicate that they would
not contribute to the acquisition of more land for the Ice Arena as such the purchase
would fall exclusively to Albertville.
2. The City has considered this land purchase in the past and determined it was not in the
position to acquire the property.
3. This land purchase has not been considered in the preparation of the City’s budget or
capital improvement planning; as such the City would need to identify a funding source if
this purchase would proceed.
4. The L&D Trucking site would contribute to the Ice Arena expansion with regard to land
area and parking. This lot is 2+ acres in area and would also provide a redevelopment
site for future commercial development.
5. The current proposal is a request from the property owner for the City to consider the
purchase at a specific price and with a purchase over time to avoid large upfront City
expenditure.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with past practices, the
property owner’s request is being presented to the City Council for consideration.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Ms. Vinge is offering a purchase price for the land at
11800 61st Street NE of $675,000 and is willing to sell the property over time. The City’s budget
and capital improvement plan does not anticipate this purchase. The City Council would have
to determine a revenue source and payment plan if the purchase would proceed.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and City
Council have the ability to reject the proposal or direct staff to negotiate a purchase. Any land
acquisition must follow the regulations of the State Statutes governing the public acquisition of
private property.

Al,
I am interested in selling the property to the City of Albertville with an asking price of $675,000.00.
To alleviate a large amount of upfront costs, I would be interested in working with the City on terms
that would be suitable for them such as a long term lease with a purchase option or a contract for deed.
I may be reached at 612-817-4730.

Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
• I-94 Assessment. The Knechtl assessment appeal was filed in District Court in a
timely manner, which perfected the appeal. I have spoken to Knechtl’s attorney
regarding settlement, but at this time they have not had an appraisal performed and
are still formulating what they believe to be the benefit to the property. Once they
determine what they believe the benefit to the property is, we will likely have
some sort of settlement negotiations. Ultimately, the Court will send us to
mediation, which would likely occur in the spring or early summer.
• Fire Department. I am drafting a volunteer agreement for the reserve fire
fighters who will be joining the force in the future.
