Mayor and Council Request for Action
M:\Public Data\Requests for Council Actions (RCA)\2013\01 07 2012 Central Park Boardwalk - Zack Peterson.doc
Meeting Date: October 15, 2012
January 3, 2013
SUBJECT: Public Works – Zack Peterson, Central Park Boardwalk
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Release $2,000.00 donation received from the Albertville Lions for the Zack
Peterson Eagle Scout Project, which consists of constructing a boardwalk between 57th Street NE
and Central Park, and authorizing the construction of the project on city property; conditioned on
plan approvals of the building and public works departments.
BACKGROUND:
Zack Peterson, of St. Michael, is working towards his Eagle Scout merit award and would like to
construct a boardwalk through the wetland on the west side of the Fire Hall, and between 57th
Street NE and Central Park. Zack has presented his project to the Parks Commission and the
Lion’s Club has donated $2,000 to assist with the construction of the project, which the city has
received.
Zack will present his project to the City Council at the January 7th meeting and is seeking
approval for 1) city approval to construct the boardwalk on public land, and 2) authorization to
release the donated funds to purchase materials for the project.
In general, the project consists of constructing an elevated boardwalk, approximately 180-feet in
length, and 6-feet in width. The boardwalk will need to be placed on city property and accepted
as part of the city’s infrastructure. If authorized, city staff will review and assist with the design
of the structure. Specifically, Mr. Peterson’s plans will need to be compliant with ADA and
building code standards.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is City Policy for all public improvements
and project transactions to be approved by the Mayor and City Council.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is no city funding assistance designated at this
time. The $2,000 Albertville Lion’s donation was accepted by the city in October, 2012, (Res.
2012-041), for the purpose of this project.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to authorize
municipal improvements.

Agenda Page 7
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3

and leadership to the City of Albertville.

felt they will have a successful year ahead of them.

months.
8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. Finance
1). Approve 2013 Fee Schedules
Lannes reported that many of the fees have stayed the same for 2013 and are
reflected in the first resolution. The second resolution adds a dollar to the base
rate for water for the next five years and the third resolution adds a dollar to the
base rate for sewer for the next five years.
Sorensen clarified that these water and sewer rates would go to the Council each
year for review and Hendrickson stated they could be changed if a future Council
decides to change them.
Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve Resolution No.
2012-055 entitled a Resolution Setting Fees for Various Services or Violation
Fines within the Albertville city limits. Ayes: Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen
and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan. MOTION DECLARED
CARRIED.
Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Sorensen, to approve Resolution 2012-

Utility Base Rates. Ayes: Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays:
None. Absent: Meehan. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.

None. Absent: Meehan. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
2). 2013A providing for the issuance and sale of general obligation sewer
revenue crossover refunding bonds, 2013A $2,510,000
Agenda Page 8
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of December 17, 2012
Lannes reported these were refunding bonds for a current bond for sewer
improvements and Paul Donna was present at the meeting to review the bids.
Donna reported they received two bids. There was a big difference in the interest
rates of the two bids. They received an exceptional rate of 1.68% true interest
cost from UMB Bank out of Kansas City, Missouri.
Donna reported they applied for a credit rating prior to bidding for the bonds.
Lannes, Nafstad and Thistle had a conference call with Moody’s Investor Services
and they reassigned the City’s “Aa3” credit rating. They did have some
highlights for receiving this rating and they were: stable financial operations,
significant alternate liquidity, sound wealth indices, location, employment base,
and improving development trends. They also noticed some challenges such as
taxpayer concentration. Thistle added that Moody’s also noted the debt service
and City owned parcels should be higher priorities.
Wagner asked if the number of bonds that Albertville has is normal. Donna stated
that it is not unusual. Even though Moody’s noted the high debt service, they
realize the economic climate and also the City’s need for infrastructure
improvements.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to adopt Resolution No.
2012-058 entitled a Resolution awarding the sale of General Obligation Sewer
Revenue Crossover Refunding Bonds; Series 2013A. Ayes: Vetsch,
Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan. MOTION
DECLARED CARRIED.
3). 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan
Lannes explained this is done every year and shows what they have planned and
what is coming in the next years. This is a constantly changing document.
Nafstad reported the document demonstrates the needs of the City. One of the
goals staff would like to see is to have this document reflect the annual budget, so
they can begin to establish a financing plan for the projects and assign completion
dates.
Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Wagner, to approve Resolution 2012-
059 entitled a Resolution Accepting the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Ayes:
Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
4). Software Upgrade for Waste Water Treatment Plant
The software used at the plant needs to be upgraded and the City has an
opportunity to get a 20% discount on the software if it is purchased in 2012. The
Agenda Page 9
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5
Regular Meeting of December 17, 2012
quote is for just under $7,000 and would go up significantly if they wait until
2013. Since the amount is over $5,000, staff will need Council approval to move
forward with the purchase. Lannes reported there is money available in the
treatment plant capital fund.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the purchase of
the software upgrade for the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Ayes: Vetsch,
Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
5). Ice Arena Capital Contributions
Lannes reported that both St. Michael and the STMA School District will be
contributing $10,000 to capital funding for the Ice Arena. She stated that there is
money in the budget for Albertville to contribute if Council decides to do so.
Lannes stated that no funds have been contributed by any entity for capital
repairs/replacement. Vetsch asked if the Ice Arena budget is funding
depreciation and Lannes replied they began two years ago. The $10,000 is
specifically for capital and will not go towards operations.
Sorensen stated that no funds have been put in place for building repairs or for
replacement of the Zamboni. The other option is to wait until that repair or
replacement is needed and pay the entire one third of the cost up front. Sorensen
stated that in no way could these funds be used for a second sheet of ice.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to contribute $10,000 to the
STMA Ice Arena capital fund. Ayes: Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen and
Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
Thistle stated that Albertville has been charged with both the management and
financial management as the Arena manager reports directly to the Administrator
and Lannes does the budget. Thistle suggested that the Ice Arena manager begin
operating the same as other department heads in terms of purchasing and hiring
policies as City Hall.
Sorensen would like to discuss this further and was concerned that the Ice Arena
has a much smaller budget, so the same purchasing guidelines mean a bigger
percentage of the Ice Arena budget.
B. Planning/Zoning
1). Ashley Furniture Comprehensive Sign Plan
A comprehensive sign plan for Ashley Furniture was approved in 2002 for a
north wall sign and nameplate sign, south wall sign and a ground sign. Due to
Agenda Page 10
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 6
Regular Meeting of December 17, 2012
the now completed WB C-D I-94 ramp, they have more traffic and visibility.
Ashley Furniture is requesting an amendment to the comprehensive sign plan that
will allow them to move the north wall sign to the east wall, put up an expanded
new north wall sign and add a manual changeable copy sign on the east wall.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request at their last meeting and
imposed conditions that would require Ashley Furniture to obtain the necessary
permits for the signs, the signs be placed where indicated on the permits and no
other signs be installed without the City’s approval.
Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Wagner, to adopt Resolution 2012-060
approving the Ashley Furniture Comprehensive Sign Plan. Ayes: Vetsch,
Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
2). Central Park Master Plan
Brixius reported that he and the Parks Committee have come up with a
conceptual master plan for Central Park. There is nothing in the immediate
budgets or Capital Improvement Plan for the master plan, but it serves as a guide
for the future and will consist of many small projects instead of one large project.
The Albertville Lions will provide a train caboose for the park and will fund a
rendition of the old train depot. An Eagle Scout has also indicated interest in
building a boardwalk within the park. The master plan allows these civic
organizations to help develop the park.
Brixius stated the master plan takes into account a second sheet of ice at the
STMA Ice Arena. There is an area that still allows space for Friendly City Days
on the east side of the park. The plan establishes a park entrance off of Main
Ave. NE. Splash pads were identified in several areas of the park. There are
multiple entrances to the park and there will be a walking trail to connect the
entrances. It will also be important to make sure the playground equipment is
current and well maintained.
Brixius reported the other portion of the master plan relates to the City owned
property north of the waste water treatment plant. This concept looks at more
baseball/softball fields, soccer fields and possibly lacrosse fields. The compost
site would need to be moved to the north. A trail would run along MacIver as
well as around Hunter’s Lake that could possibly go to the Weishar memorial
area. There could be a significantly sized playground. This plan does not
commit the City to any specific timetable or expenditures. It is to capture the
vision for the area.
Hendrickson inquired why there was not residential housing included. Brixius
replied that could be changed in the future and he was trying to identify a vision
for a larger community park. If they should move to a residential design, they
Agenda Page 11
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7
Regular Meeting of December 17, 2012
would allow the developer to determine the design. Brixius also stated that the
waste water treatment plant will need improvements to meet guidelines and they
don’t know yet how that may impact the design of the park area.
Vetsch had concerns about baseballs landing in the splash pad area in the Central
Park master plan. He also inquired who will fund the boardwalk in Central Park.
Brixius stated sometimes the Eagles will ask for contributions or the City may
provide the materials. Vetsch stated they may want to look at composite
materials for the board in Central Park. Brixius felt the boardwalk design should
go through the Parks Committee for review.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to approve the Central Park
Master Plan. Ayes: Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None.
Absent: Meehan. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
3). Reappointment or appointment of two (2) Planning and Zoning
Commissioners for terms to expire December 31, 2015
Brixius reported two appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission are
up at the end of the year. Both members have expressed interest in serving
another term. Brixius felt they were both very good candidates and show up at
all meetings.
Wagner agreed and felt the wo commissioners bring different aspects to the
commission and are valuable members.
Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Sorensen, to reappoint Brian Totman and
Natalya Lindberg to a three (3) year term expiring December 31, 2015. Ayes:
Vetsch, Hendrickson, Sorensen and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: Meehan.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
4). L & D Trucking Letter
Brixius stated that he and the owner of the building have been working with a
possible tenant to fill the building but the tenant has now found a different
location. The building’s owner, Diane Vinge, has inquired if the City would be
interested in purchasing the property at a price of $675,000. She would be
willing to negotiate an agreement where the City could pay over time. This land
purchase is not in the budget or in the capital improvement plan and would
require a funding source.
Vinge stated she does not want to carry the building anymore and she is
motivated to sell the building. She envisions the parcel being used for additional
parking especially if another sheet of ice is added. She can see the parcel being a
retail area or a ballfield. She stated it is a very busy corner.
Agenda Page 12
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 8
Regular Meeting of December 17, 2012
Couri reported if the City were to enter into a contract for deed, they are limited
to a five year agreement by law. There is a lease purchase option the City could
further research. This option cannot have a multiple year agreement but must be
for one year at a time. If the City looks into purchasing the land, they must
identify what use the land will have.
Thistle stated Council must identify what they will do with the property and must
also look at the City’s current obligations and competing demand for resources.
The City would be obligated for the amount of the purchase and will be taking
that money away from other demands. He also thought a lease purchase would
go against the City as debt service.
Hendrickson stated that she felt it is worth looking into but does not want to use a
lot of City resources. Nafstad stated they could identify needs for the property as
well as financing possibilities. Wagner did not want to spend a lot of money
looking into this. Nafstad stated they will not need to have a formal study
conducted and is something staff can complete.
Couri stated they may want to run this by the STMA Ice Arena Board. Sorensen
stated that when the issue was before the Board earlier, the price was too high.
He wasn’t sure that there would be a different opinion from the Board unless
there is some turnover in members on the Board. Wagner agreed.
Sorensen stated it would be hard for the City to purchase land without knowing
what kind of use should be there.
Council directed staff to conduct an informal study on need for the property and
financing options.
C. Legal
1). Attorney Report
Couri reported the Knechtl property needs to get their own appraisal and
establish their own proposed assessment for the I-94 project. The appeal is now

Meeting Date: January 7, 2013
January 3, 2013
SUBJECT: DECLARATION OF CITY COUNCIL VACANCY AND APPOINTMENT OF CITY
COUNCIL POSITION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Declare a vacancy on the City Council arising from Council member Jillian
Hendrickson assuming the position of Mayor of the City of Albertville.
BACKGROUND: This past November City Council woman Jillian Hendrickson was elected
Mayor of the City of Albertville. Pursuant to Attorney General’s opinion dated December 27,
1977, Ms. Hendrickson’s City Council position will be vacated by operation of law at such time
as she is sworn in as Mayor of the City Council. Prior to filling the position, the City Council
must declare the position vacant. The requested motion will formally make this declaration.
Minn. Stat. 412.02 sets out the process for filling a vacancy on the City Council. If the vacancy
occurs with less than two years remaining on the term, the City Council shall fill the vacancy by
appointment and the appointed Council member shall serve until a successor is chosen in the
next election and properly qualified for office. Because there is less than two years remaining in
the vacant position, the Council must fill the vacancy by appointment rather than by special
election.
Appointment is made initially by majority vote of those Council members present at a quorum of
the City Council. While Minn. Stat. 415.15 states that no resigning member of a city council
shall participate in a vote of the council to choose a person to replace the resigning member, the
December 27, 1977 Attorney General’s opinion makes clear that a Council member with time
remaining on his/her unexpired term who is elected Mayor does not resign his/her seat when
he/she assumes the Mayor’s position, but rather vacates it as a matter of law. Since Mayor
Hendrickson did not resign her Council position, she may participate in the vote to fill the
vacancy. Further, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 412.02, in the case of a tie vote by the City Council to
fill the position, the Mayor shall then appoint a person to fill the vacant Council position.
The law is silent on how the City Council should choose the person to fill the vacancy. The only
legal requirements are that the appointed Council member must be a resident of the City, at least
18 years of age, and qualified to vote. The City Council is not required to advertise for the
position, nor interview for the position, nor appoint one of the unsuccessful candidates in the
prior election, although it may choose to do any or all of the above if it sees fit. The statute is
silent on when the appointment must occur.

Meeting Date: January 7, 2013
KEY ISSUES:
• The Council must declare a vacancy before it fills the vacant Council seat.

Meeting Date: January 7, 2013
December 31, 2012
SUBJECT: CONSENT AGENDA – APPOINT 2013 OFFICIALS AND CONSULTANTS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution 2013-001 designating officials and consulting firms for 2013.
BACKGROUND: At the first meeting of the year, the City Council must designate city officials,
the official newspaper for City legal publications and the official depositories. The City Council
at this time also appoints consultants and City Council members to various boards and
committees. Due to the vacancy that will occur when Council member Hendrickson takes her seat
as Mayor, staff is suggesting that appointments to the various boards and committees take place
after the vacant seat is filled.
KEY ISSUES:
• An Acting Mayor should be appointed at this meeting.
• All consultants have expressed interest to continue their service.
• The North Crow River News has expressed interest in serving as the City’s official newspaper
for 2013.
• Staff recommends the depositories stay the same as the previous year and would include:
Bank of Elk River
Dain Rausher
FTN Financial
LMC 4m Fund
Lake Community Bank
Northland Securities
Premier Bank
Venture Bank
Wachovia Securities
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations.
LEGAL ISSUES: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to review and approve
appointments and designations.

RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve the Wright County Assessment Services Agreement for 2014-2015.
BACKGROUND: Wright County Assessor’s office has been providing Albertville with
assessment services dating back to pre-1992. Wright County provides experienced assessors and
has provided consistency in the valuation of properties.
The Wright County Assessor’s office is not proposing an increase in fees for their services. The
rates will remain the same at $10.50 per parcel and $25.00 for each new construction
$499,999.00 or less. There will be an additional fee of $100.00 for each new construction over
$500,000.00.
The agreement will begin in 2013 as the Assessor’s office prepares for the 2014 year and will
end June 30, 2015.
KEY ISSUES:
• Wright County Assessor’s Office has experienced assessors who specialize in both
residential and commercial properties.
• The County Assessor is able to provide consistent assessment values across multiple
jurisdictions.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to evaluate and consider contracts on a
case by case basis, seeking the best value for the City.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has budgeted $28,500 for these assessment
services.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve
agreements that the City enters into pursuant to Minnesota State Law.

City Administrator’s Update
January 3, 2013
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
February Council Workshop: Staff would like to hold a workshop in February to establish and
discuss 2013 Council goals and objectives. Items will likely include: code enforcement, city
properties, economic development, project priorities, public communications, etc.
I-94 WB CD ROAD: Council will be asked to approve partial payment #7 at the second meeting
in January. Post construction documentation and reporting continue. The City has received a
number of compliments regarding the improved access from various residents and businesses.
Wright County Economic Development Partnership: 2013 Member Investor Dues are
$1,794.30. Unless Council desires otherwise, we will renew our membership with the
Partnership. Albertville has been an active member for several years. “The Partnership
strengthens and promotes Wright County and member investors though building relationships
between communities and businesses, working as advocates, and supporting the greater
County development a sustainable economic profile….”
Website: Weekly design meeting will continue until the three (3) implementation phases are
complete. It is our goal to complete the three phases by the end of March. Comments and
suggestions are always welcome.
Fraser Steel: Fraser Steel has indicated that they will be constructing their 25,000 SF building
expansion this spring. Staff will be coordinating the application and TIF schedules with Fraser
Steel.
STMA Arena 2nd Sheet Feasibility Update: Ballard King will be in town on January 17
conducting interviews with various staff regarding the 2nd Sheet Feasibility Update authorized
by the Arena Board. Those meeting with the consultant include the arena manager, High
School AD, Youth Hockey representatives, Steve Bot, Dr. Behle, Tina and me.
Arena: We have been experiencing communication issues with the arena recently, likely
related to the antennas again. Over the past few weeks we have lost network communications
multiple times (7 or more). When we lose network connection, the arena does not have phone,
internet, or concession POS capabilities. Card services do work through a land line; however,
point of sale is not documented. Tina is researching the issue with the vendor.

City Administrator’s Update Page 2 of 2 January 3, 2013
L&D Property: At the second meeting in January, staff will present the Council with their
findings/opinions regarding the proposal the City received to purchase the L&D property.
Federated Co-op: Staff has been in discussions with Federated Co-ops regarding a potential
expansion to their existing site and will be meeting with them later this month.
Tom Cloutier (Shoppes at Prairie Run): Mr. Cloutier has expressed great frustration to me
regarding his business dealings with the City. In general, I think Mr. Cloutier believes the city
does not respond in a timely manner and has too many requirements/standards? Most
recently, Mr. Cloutier was upset about the release of an escrow deposit held as security for
building code related issues. I will be discussing the issue with staff and working with Tom in
an attempt to resolve.
Economic Development Outline: Staff is working to develop an Economic Development
Outline to serve as the primary tool for sale of city owned properties. A draft Outline will likely
be presented at the upcoming workshop.
Street Renaming: Staff is reviewing the potential of renaming Mackenzie Avenue to that of
MacIver Avenue to improve the continuity of addressing along the road. An ordinance to
rename the street will be presented for Council consideration at the second meeting in January.
Upcoming Events:
• January 3, 2013 – Legislative Forum in Buffalo at the Discovery Center (7:00 PM)
• January 22, 2013 – Annual State of the Cities, hosted by the I94 West Chamber and to
be held at St. Michael City Hall at 11:30 a.m. The Mayor and administrators from
Albertville, Dayton, Hanover, Otsego, Rogers and St. Michael will be providing annual
recaps and updates.
