7. PUBLIC HEARING – None
8. DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
A. City Council
1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, etc.)
Planning Commission
Wagner reported they had a meeting scheduled for June 10, 2014 that included two
public hearings, but they did not have a quorum of commissioners so no action was
taken. He stated it was unfortunate they didn’t have a quorum, because there was an
applicant present for a CUP that was in a time-sensitive situation.
Couri reported that the City Planner suggested they amend the City Code to allow
the Council Liaison to the Planning Commission voting rights only in the absence of
a quorum in order to make the quorum. Nafstad stated staff could bring forward an
ordinance to make that amendment at the next meeting.
Nafstad gave an update on the CUP request and stated that it was discovered in
Albert Villas Sixth Addition that the covenants for that addition do not allow
garages or sheds over 120 square feet. The City Planner has informed the applicant
of those covenants. Nafstad stated that the way the City Code is written the CUP
must be compliant with all PUD requirements and covenants. Wagner inquired if
the applicant can still build the additional accessory structure if it is within the 120
square feet. Nafstad stated the applicant’s request was to build the structure in
excess of 120 square feet and although the City Code allows up to two accessory
structures up to a certain amount of square footage, the covenants restrict sheds,
accessory buildings, and garages to no more than one under 120 square feet.
Hendrickson inquired what the applicant can do to build the accessory building.
Nafstad stated the applicant would need approval of 75% of the properties.
Hendrickson inquired if a variance could be pursued. Couri replied that they
generally do not recommend variances unless there is a very strong reason. He was
concerned that it would set precedence and how would they determine what
standard to hold the applicant to.
Couri stated the Council could change the ordinance, so that PUD covenants do not
trump City Code.
Nafstad informed the Council that given the circumstances, the City would be
returning the applicant’s application and escrow fee’s in full.

B. Finance
1). Budget Workshop Schedule
Nafstad stated staff has outlined the key dates involved with the budget process and
has recommended setting budget workshops for August 4 and August 18. He is
looking for direction on whether to hold the workshop before of after the regular
meetings.
Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Olson, to set budget workshops meetings for
August 4, 2014 and August 18, at 6:15 p.m. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen,
Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED

H. Administration
1). Set Joint Meeting Date for June 30, 2014
Nafstad clarified that the meeting will be held with St. Michael and Hanover to
discuss transit and Otsego and Monticello have also been invited. He stated the
administrators have met frequently regarding transit and they feel the northeast
Wright County councils all have similar questions. He reported six cities have
already entered into the transit Joint Powers Agreement and they have since held
their first meeting. He stated the director for Trailblazers will be present and
MnDot has also been invited.
Sorensen was concerned if they sign the agreement, there is no guarantee of the
number of rides, who will ride, or the level of service provided. Vetsch stated that
they do have the option to withdraw out of the agreement. Couri explained that
would require about a nine month notice.
Council discussed the cost to the City if they signed the agreement.
Hendrickson, Olson, and Sorensen stated they would be present at the meeting.
Couri recommended they post public notice of a quorum and possible action on the
transit Joint Powers Agreement.
Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Sorensen, to set a Joint Meeting with the
City Councils of Hanover and St. Michael for June 30, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the St.
Michael Government Center, 11800 Town Center Drive NE. Ayes: Hendrickson,

2). City Administrator’s Update
It was questioned if there had been any issues or complaints about Friendly City
Days. Nafstad reported that he received only one complaint regarding noise, but
thought the complaint was directed at one of the neighboring bars. Sorensen stated
that the event is very well run and is glad to see a limited number of complaints
considering the amount of activity and number of people attending the festival.
3). Jetting Sewer
Nafstad stated that all sewer lines throughout the City are jetted at least every three
years. They received two complaints from residents that water shot out their toilets
during the jetting process. Nafstad stated that seldom do they receive a complaint of
this type and typically the cause is an internal venting issue. Staff will continue to
research the cause has noted the addresses of the complaints so that they can notify
the residents prior to jetting in the future.

10. MOVE TO WORKSHOP – Fire Committee Report on Recent Discussion
Nafstad reported they have had a number of meetings related to several fire related topics.
Nafstad reported that Fire Chief Tate Mills will not be seeking re-election at the end of the
year. Mills has recommended to the Fire Committee to hire a full-time Fire Chief. Nafstad
reported that he and the Assistant Fire Chief initially met with the State to discuss the process
for reviewing the Department’s needs, and since, the Offices have met to discuss, as well as,
the Membership. The Department has been asked to provide feedback regarding staffing
needs of the Department.
Nafstad stated that other topics of discussion have included equipment replacement, fire
inspection services, and Otsego likely needing a substation in the future.
Nafstad stated that they are in the process of compiling feedback from the fire membership in
hopes to give it to the Fire Committee at their July meeting. The City must approve its
Agenda Page 7
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5
Regular Meeting of June 16, 2014
preliminary budget at the first meeting in September, so the goal is to determine how much
money, if any, should be budgeted should the City pursue a full-time chief.
Hendrickson was concerned that there was not enough time before the preliminary budget to
make sure the entire membership had time and opportunity to understand and give comment
regarding a full-time Fire Chief. She wanted to make sure the membership understood all the
details and reasoning behind the recommendation.
Vetsch wants to make sure expectations are defined before continuing discussions. Vetsch
also questioned a joint powers fire agreement. He was concerned what would happen if a joint
powers agreement between Otsego and Albertville would fall through. Couri stated that right
now, Albertville owns all of the equipment and that should be addressed upfront. The funding
formula should take into account land mass, number of calls, and service needs. He stated the
biggest concern that he sees is what would happen if Otsego would choose to form their own
fire department down the road, how and where Albertville would stand in terms of equipment
and fire personnel. Sorensen agreed and stated that many details need to be worked out for a
joint powers agreement.
Couri stated that the Council may want to consider a joint powers agreement if they should
move forward with a full-time Fire Chief without knowing the long-term status of Otsego. He
stated they may want to seek a longer term contract with Otsego for more than five years if
they do pursue a full-time Fire Chief. Nafstad stated that equipment replacement can change
depending on whether the current service agreement with Otsego is for the short term or long
term. Couri stated that in terms of moving forward with a full-time Fire Chief, it would be
very beneficial to know how the economics will be with Otsego.
Sorensen stated that he will support whatever the fire membership feels is best and if they feel
they do not have enough information at this time, the Council can wait until the membership is
ready and that may not be in time to include it in the budget discussions.
Council discussed the benefits and drawbacks of 1306 of the Building Code regarding
sprinkling requirements. Couri clarified that municipalities must adopt 1306 in its entirety and
cannot adopt specific areas of 1306.
Olson suggested a joint meeting with the Otsego City Council. Council discussed the impact
on the budget and salary/benefit costs for hiring a full-time Fire Chief.
Sorensen wanted to make sure there isn’t the perception that the Council is rushing into a
decision. He wants to make sure they get opinions from the entire fire membership and felt
they will move forward when the department is ready.
Olson asked to review the selection and appointment process used for the Fire Chief and
Assistant Fire Chief. Nafstad reported that those positions are elected from the membership
and then formally appointed by the City Council. The Department has selection process for
the other officer positions. Nafstad stated the State Fire Marshall’s Office and League of
Minnesota Cities have recommended that they move away from the election process and
Agenda Page 8
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 6
Regular Meeting of June 16, 2014
move towards a selection process for qualified candidates. Couri explained the election
process for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief does not comply with current law and
suggested the Council make appointments by selecting from a group of the most qualified
individuals.
Nafstad reported the Relief Association will be present at the next Fire Committee meeting.
Sorensen recommended the Relief Association and City Council hold a joint meeting to review
the Fire Relief funding.
Motioned by Wagner, seconded by Olson, to adjourn the workshop at 8:50 p.m. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
11. ADJOURNMENT
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:51 p.m. Ayes:

PERMIT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve the Church of St. Albert Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit Application
for the annual Parish Festival that will be held on October 12, 2014 at the St. Albert Parish
Center.
BACKGROUND: The Church of St. Albert has requested the City of Albertville approve a
Lawful Gambling Permit for their Parish Festival in the fall. The Church of St. Albert is a non-
profit religious organization that holds fund-raising events throughout the year. Their
application for lawful gambling will allow them to conduct bingo, raffles, paddlewheels, pull
tabs, and tip boards during the Festival. The Parish Festival will be held on October 12, 2014 at
the St. Albert Parish Center located at 11458 57th Street NE.
KEY ISSUES:
• The Church of St. Albert is a qualifying non-profit organization that has the opportunity
to apply for a Lawful Gambling Exempt Permit.
• The Parish Festival is an annual fund-raising event for the church.
• The Minnesota Gambling Control Board ultimately issues this type of permit, but
requires City and/or County approval before issuance.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is no financial revenue collected from the applicant
for the gambling permit.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to review and approve or deny gambling

July 2, 2014
SUBJECT: CONSENT - CITY CLERK - APPOINT 2014 ALBERTVILLE ELECTION JUDGES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2014-016 entitled a Resolution Appointing Election
Judges for the 2014 Primary and General Elections.
BACKGROUND: The City Council is required to officially approve the appointment of
election judges that serve on the absentee ballot board, administer healthcare facility voting, and
work at the polling location on Election Day. Many of appointed judges are active in the
community or have been active in their respective parties.
The appointed election judges will receive training by the Wright County Auditor’s Election
Officials on the various duties and responsibilities that are expected to be carried out. Judges
that administer absentee and healthcare facility voting also receive extra training for those
activities. Several City staff members have also been trained to act as election judges to assist
with those duties.
KEY ISSUES:
• 2014 is the third election cycle where the City has been designated to administer absentee
voting and provide this valuable service to the residents of Albertville.
• This is the first year that the City will have to administer absentee healthcare facility
voting for the Guardian Angels “Engel Haus” facility during the General Election. More
judges will be needed to accommodate this voting.
• The City must make sure to adhere to party balance guidelines when administering voting
procedures.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City plans and budgets for the cost of elections
including wages for election judges. Compensation for these judges has been included in the
2014 budget.
LEGAL ISSUES: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to appoint members of the
community to serve as election judges.

Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
July 1, 2014
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS / ENGINEERING – 54TH STREET NE AND BARTHEL INDUSTRIAL
DRIVE NE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION: This space on the agenda is reserved for the City Council to consider
approval of the plans and specifications and acceptance of the lowest bid received for the Barthel
Industrial Drive NE Drainage Improvements project. It is respectfully requested that the Mayor
and Council consider the following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2014 - 017 entitled A Resolution Approving Plans and
Specifications and Accepting Low Bid For 2014 – 54th Street NE and Barthel Industrial Drive
NE Drainage Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As directed by the Council, the proposed drainage
improvement project was advertised and on June 26, 2014, bids for the improvements were opened.
A total of eight (8) bids were received with quotes ranging from $719,414.10 to $1,163,929.69, as
shown on the attached Bid Abstract.
The Barthel Industrial Drive NE/54th Street NE intersection routinely experiences flooding
during heavy rain events. In 2008, the City studied the intersection’s drainage and later
incorporated the project in the City’s 5-year Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2014.
Additional preliminary engineering was completed in March of 2014, due to rain events that
caused flooding and property damage in June of 2013, and to account for the change from TP-40
to Altas 14.
The scope of the project includes replacement of the existing storm sewer between the
intersection and the outlet with a 60-inch pipe and parallel 48-inch, separating the Primary
School pond outlet pipe from the trunk storm sewer on 54th Street NE, as well as, adding
additional catch basins at the intersection and replacing the pond outlet pipe with a 30-inch pipe.
Construction of the improvements will take place in existing right-of-way and easement;
however, private improvements within these areas will be disturbed. Construction will also
require the intersection of Barthel and 54th to be closed for periods during construction.
Industrial park businesses will be impacted by construction in easements, water shut offs, and
traffic detours. The project is designed to include replacement or repair of all disturbed
improvements in easement areas, including: pavement, trees, walls, fences, drains, and turf.
KEY ISSUES:
• Project is consistent with draft 5-Year Street Improvement Plan
• Low Bid for the project is $719,414.10
• Low Bid Received by Kuechle Underground, Inc.

Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
• 2013 flood events caused property damage and insurance claims were filed. The LMCIT
has encouraged the City to implement improvements to mitigate flooding.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed project will be funded through 2014 streets
and storm sewer budgets, the storm water fund, and capital reserves. The low bid amount is for
$719,414. This figure does not include the overhead costs associated with surveying services or
construction inspection and testing. Overhead and construction contingencies are estimated to be
approximately 20% of the construction amount.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to authorize
municipal improvements and to accept or reject bids for municipal improvements.

Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
July 2, 2014
SUBJECT: LEGAL/FINANCE - PURCHASE OF PRAIRIE RUN TAX FORFEIT LOTS FROM THE
STATE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Purchase Lots 1-15, Block 1 and Lots 35 and 37, Block 2 from the State of
Minnesota.
BACKGROUND: In 2004-2005, the City installed utilities, street, curb, and ponding on the
Prairie Run plat and special assessed the costs of the project to the lots in the subdivision. The
Developer never made any payments on the special assessments, failed to pay the taxes, and
subsequently filed for bankruptcy. The lots went tax forfeit in 2013, and the City had previously
requested to purchase them at a nominal consideration from the State due to the large
outstanding special assessments that the City can reimpose on the lots once they come out of tax
forfeiture.
In accordance with State law, the County has valued the lots at what it believes are the market
values for these lots in light of the fact that the outstanding special assessments would be put
back on the lots by the City. The lot valuations are as follows:
Lots 1-15, Block 1 $100 each lot
Lot 35, Block 2 $5,000
Lot 37, Block 2 $5,000
The State will also charge a per-lot processing fee. At this point we estimate the total costs per
lot (purchase price plus processing fee) to be approximately $180 per lot for each of the 15
townhome lots (about $2,700 in total for these 15 lots) and approximately $5,293 for each of the
two cul-de-sac lots (about $10,485 for these two lots). Total expected cost of all 17 lots is
approximately $13,185.
The City expects to market these lots for more than we are paying the State, but less than the
total owed on the special assessments. The sale of these 17 lots, along with the 10 lots the City
already owns on the west end of the subdivision, will likely yield several hundred thousand
dollars, and will go a long way toward helping the City to recover much of the costs it has put
into this property.
KEY ISSUES:
• Purchase of these lots will allow the City to recover a large portion of what it has put into
this subdivision to date.
• The City can hold these lots tax free for up to 8 years.

M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2014\070714\2014-07-07 Tax forfeit purchase RCA.docx
Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
• City staff expects that with the sale of just one of the townhome lots, the City will more
than recover the estimated $13,185 it will pay for all 17 lots.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: City staff has been waiting several years to
acquire these lots in tax forfeiture and sell them as a means of recovering the delinquent special
assessments. Acquisition of these lots is the first step in recovering these special assessments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is expected that the purchase of these lots will allow
the City to recover several hundred thousand dollars from these lots at sale.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Minnesota law allows the City to purchase residential lots and
resell them at a price the City deems best.

Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
July 1, 2014
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR TRANSIT IN WRIGHT
COUNTY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve agreement titled “Wright County Area Transit Joint Powers
Agreement”, subject to City Attorney’s legal review
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2013, the City entered into an agreement with
neighboring communities and RiverRider to provide public transit in Albertville, Otsego, St.
Michael, and Hanover, beginning in 2014. Almost immediately after entering into the
agreement, Wright County learned that RiverRider would cease to operate after June 30, 2014.
For the past six (6) months or so, the County Board has worked with MnDOT and others to try to
develop another option for RiverRiver. To date, the County Board has not been successful in
securing another provider. With Wright County not partnering with another provider, MnDOT
and the Trailblazer Transit Board have made interim arrangements for Trailblazer to provide
transit in Wright County on July 1 through December 31, 2014, to avoid service interruption.
While it is understood that Trailblazer and the Wright County Board desire not to work together
at this time, Trailblazer is willing to partner with Wright County cities, not individually, but
through a joint powers arrangement. MnDOT has stated they support the efforts of the cities to
form a joint powers and believe that it is the best alternative for Wright County cities who desire
a public transit option.
At several previous meetings the Council and staff have discussed the agreement and have raised
concerns regarding potential costs, agreement language, and the preference that the County be
the agency that oversees public transit in Wright County. On June 30, the cities of Albertville,
Monticello, St. Michael, Hanover, and Otsego met to further discuss Trailblazer, MnDOT’s
transit program, and the agreement. At that meeting, the Trailbazer Director shared that the
Trailblazers Board is proposing the local share split between Sibley County, McLeod County,
and the Wright County Area Transportation (WCAT) be 25%, 50% and 25%, respectively. The
local share represents 15% of the MnDOT approved budget, where MnDOT pays 85%.
To date, nine (9) Wright County cities have approved the joint powers agreement and the
(WCAT) joint powers is effective. The member cities have asked other interested cities to do so
prior to August 1 to allow time to develop a service plan and budget for 2015. Cities not party to
the joint powers agreement will not be included in contract discussions with Trailblazer for
service following December 31, 2014.
If the Council desires public transit, it is believed that approving the WCAT joint powers
agreement prior to August 1st will be the most economical time to do so. Doing so now allows
cities to take advantage of MnDOT’s financing incentive of the buy-in into Trailblazers. Joining
at a later date will undoubtedly cost more.

Joint Powers Transit Agreement Page 2 of 2
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2014\070714\2014-07-01 Transit Joint Powers Agreement RCA.docx
Meeting Date: July 7, 2014
KEY ISSUES:
• Public transit is relatively new to Albertville. It is very difficult to estimate what our
initial ridership will be and what we can expect it to be in the near future.
• Both the Senior Center and Guardian Angels have expressed a need for a public transit
option.
• While the County is believed to be the best institution to oversee transit services in
Wright County, that is not an option at this time.
• At this time, Trailblazer Transit is the only willing and eligible transit provider in Wright
County.
• This agreement allows any party to get out of the agreement at the end of the year with
nine (9) months notice
• If Albertville would like a say in the service the City receives, if any, post December 31,
2014, it will need to be party to the joint powers agreement.
• Generally, 85% of the transit program is funded by MnDOT. WCAT will be responsible
for 25% of the remaining 15% (local share). Per the WCAT agreement, Albertville
would only be responsible for its proportionate share of the WCAT ridership.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Currently the City budgets very little for public transit.
As a party to the agreement, the City will be required to pay an annual administrative fee,
initially set to be $1,000, and annual operating and capital expenses will be allocated
proportionate to rideshare among the member cities. It should be noted that the cost to
Albertville is not known at this time. It is believed that a worse case scenario cost would likely
be between $7,000 and $10,000, annually. Best case scenario would be no cost to Albertville
due to sufficient ridership to pay for the local share. There would be no budget impact in 2014.
The City will need to work with Trailblazer to estimate a budget impact for 2015.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council has the authority to enter into joint powers
agreements on the City’s behalf. As a party to the agreement, the City will be obligated to the
terms of the agreement. Approval of the agreement should be contingent to legal review of the
final document.

WRIGHT COUNTY AREA TRANSPORTATION
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement are municipal corporations under the laws of the State of Minnesota and
located in Wright County, Minnesota (the parties to this Agreement are hereafter referred to
individually as a “City” and collectively as the “Cities”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statute §471.59 authorizes the joint and cooperative exercise of powers common
to the Cities.
WHEREAS, the Cities desire to provide for an agreement between and among them to establish a joint
powers board for Transportation for the purpose of providing a coordinated service delivery and funding
source for public transportation; and
WHEREAS, each City has adopted a Resolution finding that it is in the best interests of the citizens of
each City to enter into this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD AS FOLLOWS:
1. General Purpose. Pursuant to the authority of the Joint Powers Act, the Cities desire and intend
to provide affordable Public Transportation to their communities. The goal of the Cities is to provide
people in their communities with mobility and access to employment, community resources, medical
care and recreational opportunities, while reducing the impact of road congestion, travel times, air
pollution, the cost of road maintenance and repair, and energy and oil consumption for their
communities.
2. Joinder of Wright County Political Subdivisions. The undersigned Cities hereby agree to join
together for the purpose of coordinating the delivery of public transportation services and establishing a
joint funding source for said services through establishment of a Wright County Area Transportation
Joint Powers Board (“WCAT Board”). This Agreement shall become effective upon adoption of a
resolution by the governing body of no less than three Cities, and shall be binding on all the Cities who
have joined through adoption of a resolution by their respective governing bodies through August 1,
2014, unless otherwise extended or amended by the Parties. Any Party seeking to join the WCAT
Authority after August 1, 2014, shall do so only on an affirmative vote of a majority of the WCAT Board
members. The WCAT Board shall determine voting authority and contribution requirements for any
Parties joining after August 1, 2014.
3. WCAT Board Composition. Each City shall appoint annually a representative to the WCAT Board.
Each City may appoint an alternate representative who may act in the place and stead of an absent
representative from that Party. Members to the board may be appointed or removed at the pleasure of
the Party, with each member serving until their successor is appointed and qualified as provided by each
Party. Each member shall serve without compensation, health or medical benefits provided by the
WCAT Board.
Agenda Page 29
4. Funding. The WCAT Board is authorized to procure such State and Federal funding as is
available toward financing the costs of providing public transportation services for the Cities. Each City
agrees to pay a proportionate share (the “Pro Rata Share”) of the WCAT Board’s remaining unfunded
operating expenses and capital expenditures based upon the number of rides originating in the City
during the prior year as compared to the total number of rides originating in all of the Cities during the
prior year (the “Ride Share”). Each City shall also pay an annual fee to provide for the proper
operations of the WCAT Board. Each City shall pay an initial $1,000 fee to cover the WCAT Board’s
projected expenses during the first year of operation. For 2015 only, operating and capital expenses
shall be based upon the projected total number of rides during 2015 as determined by the WCAT Board
prior to January 1, 2015 and such expenses shall be allocated proportionately among the Cities with
each City paying its Pro Rata Share. Within 90 days after December 31, 2015, the WCAT Board shall
perform a reconciliation of operating and capital expenses based upon each City’s actual 2015 Ride
Share, and funds shall be payable from or reimbursed to each City based upon the difference between
each City’s initial payments and reconciled 2015 Ride Share amounts. The WCAT Board may from time
to time adjust the operating and capital expenses as it deems appropriate.
5. Meetings. The WCAT Board shall meet at least annually on a schedule determined by the WCAT
Board. All meetings of the WCAT Board shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the Minnesota
Open Meeting Law, Minn. Stat. §13D.01, et. seq., as amended. Special meetings may be called by the
WCAT Board Chair or upon written request of three (3) or more members of the WCAT Board. Written
