Brad Cedergren, 4980 Kalenda Avenue NE, stated that he is one of the community volunteers
working to organize a regional Yellow Ribbon Community Program for Albertville and St. Michael.
He stated that it would be a collaborative effort and they would pool resources from both cities for
service members and first responders.
Nicole Rice, 119 1st Street NE, St. Michael, stated that she is a spouse of a military member and she
knows what it is like to have community support and resources as well as to not have it. She stated
the goal of the program is to create a support network in the community that is similar to what active
duty families see at a base. She stated that there is a large number of military families in the
Albertville-St. Michael area.
Vetsch inquired what they would need from the City and Cedergren responded that they would need
Council support of the initative as well as a meeting room to be made available for the group for
several months. They would also like to mail a letter to all local businesses on City letterhead,
hoping to legitimize their cause and perhaps include information on the City website. He stated they
will be working with the Governor’s office and a lot of training is involved. The City will also have
a sign identifying it as a Yellow Ribbon Community. Rice stated that she will be presenting this to
the St. Michael City Council at their next meeting.
Olson questioned if the school would be involved and Cedergren stated they are a large part of the
program. Rice stated they need to identify the military families in Albertville and St. Michael and
make them aware of the resources that are available.

7. PUBLIC HEARING - None
7.5 Gentz Twelve-foot Fence Request
Brixius stated the applicant is seeking a fence size in excess of what is allowed in the ordinance.
Nyles Gentz, 5233 53rd Circle NE, stated he is seeking the excessive fence size due to several
incidents that have occurred with his neighbor and to restrict the sightlines from inside his home.
Gentz stated he requested a twelve-foot fence on his application, but will build to the tallest height
the Council will allow whether it be an eight- or ten-foot fence.
Brixius stated that a taller fence would need to be structurally engineered. His other concerns were
what would happen once the situation is resolved, whether the homeowner sells the home or there is
no longer an occurrence of incidents. He suggested the top portion of the fence be designed that it
can be taken down or removed leaving a compliant six-foot fence. Brixius stated the applicant could
pursue a variance due to a unique, practicle hardship and stated this situation is not occurring in any
other area of the City.
Sorensen inquired about costs. Brixius stated they could look a reducing and/or possibly waiving the
fees. He stated that the request will need to be noticed and set for a public hearing at the Planning
Commission.
Council directed Gentz pursue a variance and go through the process at the Planning Commission
meeting in August.

SUBJECT: CONSENT - HUNTERS PASS ESTATES 2ND ADDITION - LETTER OF CREDIT
REDUCTION NO. 1
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider
approval of the following motion:
MOTION TO: Reduce Letter of Credit No. 2220 held as security for the Hunters Pass 2nd
development to no less than $60,595, conditioned on any outstanding balances owed to the City
being paid in full.
BACKGROUND: Nathan Jones of Tollberg Homes has requested a reduction to the Letter of
Credit held for the Hunters Pass 2nd Addition. The Letter of Credit is held as performance and
warranty security for the road improvements and various site improvements and is currently in
the amount of $159,995.
Assuming the Developer is current with all fees owed to the City and based on work completed
to date, it is recommended that Letter of Credit No. 2220 be reduced to no less than $60,595. The
reduced balance is believed to be sufficient surety and is consistent with the development
agreement.

SUBJECT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT – APPROVAL OF THE 2014 MID-YEAR CERTIFICATION OF
UNCOLLECTED UTILITY BILLS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2014-019 entitled a Resolution Certifying the 2014
Mid-Year Uncollected Utility Bills to Wright County for Collection with Real Estate Taxes.
BACKGROUND: On an annual basis, it is the City’s procedure to send notification to
residents, developers, and other business owners that there are outstanding utility bills or
invoices, allowing them sufficient time to pay such fees owed to the City. If such outstanding
debt has not been paid before November 15, 2014 the City has the ability to certify such
outstanding debt to the appropriate property that would be collected with the Real Estate Taxes.
In the past few years, the City has added a mid-year assessment of outstanding receivables.
KEY ISSUES: The key issue regarding the outstanding debt is allowing the City to certify it to
the property taxes ensuring collection.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy to review and authorize staff to certify
uncollected utility bills and outstanding invoices to Wright County for Collection with Real
Estate Taxes.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: City staff has reviewed and recommends approval of
Certification list, which would be updated as payments are received up until August 4, 2014.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to authorize staff to
certify pursuant to Minnesota State Law, which requires uncollected utility bills and invoices to
be paid in a timely manner, generally within 120 days unless one party determines to dispute the
billing.

M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2014\080414\2014-08-04 Hunters Pass Special Assess Park Fees.doc
Meeting Date: August 4, 2014
July 31, 2014
SUBJECT: SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OF HUNTERS PASS 2ND ADDITION PARK FEES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2014-020 Adopting Assessments for Park Dedication
Fees.
BACKGROUND: When Hunters Pass 2nd Addition was approved earlier this year, the City
agreed to allow park dedication fees to be collected at the time of building permit issuance,
provided the City was allowed to secure their collection via a special assessment of the park fees
due on each lot. This arrangement was approved in the development agreement for the 2nd
Addition. The attached resolution levies $3,300 per property on 11 of the 12 lots in Hunters Pass
2nd Addition (park dedication on one lot has already been paid when the owner applied for a
building permit for that lot).
As building permits are applied for in 2014, the owner will be required to pay the City the park
dedication amount due on the lot. For those lots where the special assessment is paid in 2014,
the City will inform the County of such payment and the special assessment will be removed
from the County’s records. For those lots with unpaid special assessments remaining after
December 31, 2014, the County will collect the $3,300 special assessment with the 2015
property tax payment and we will no longer collect the park dedication fee on these lots with the
building permit application. Per the terms of the City’s previous approval of this arrangement,
the assessment bears no interest.
KEY ISSUES:
• This assessment has been previously agreed to by the developer, who waived its right to
appeal the special assessment.
• The special assessment will ensure collection of all park dedication amounts no later than
December, 2015.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: This special assessment arrangement has been
previously approved by the City Council and memorialized in the development agreement
between the City and the developer.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The special assessment ensures that the City will collect
all outstanding park dedication amounts in 2015 (assuming all real estate taxes are paid on time).

RESOLUTION ADOPTING ASSESSMENTS FOR

WHEREAS, pursuant to a request from the property owner, the Albertville City Council
has agreed to special assess each numbered lot in Hunters Pass 2nd Addition in the amount of
$3,300, the City’s current park dedication fee for new residential lots;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

proposed improvement in the amount of the assessment levied against it.
2. The assessment levied by this resolution upon those properties identified on the attached
Exhibit A shall be payable in full with the 2015 real estate taxes, and shall not bear interest.
3. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to the certification of the
assessment to the County Auditor, pay the whole of the assessment on such property, to the
City Clerk.
4. The Clerk shall forthwith transmit a certified duplicate of this assessment roll to the County

Memo
To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council
From: Mike Couri
Date: July 29, 2014
Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
• I-94 Ramp Easement. The State is asking the City to obtain I-94 ramp easement
from Albertville Marketplace using a revised legal description as the State wants
clearer language in the deed from the City to the State for the ramp easement. The
easement area remains unchanged—the State simply wants its specific language
used in the easement document. Adam and I will be working with Albertville
Marketplace to obtain the proper language.
• Hunters Pass 2nd Addition. The resolution assessing the park dedication fees to
11 of the 12 lots is on the agenda for this meeting. Park dedication fees on one lot
have already been paid when a building permit for that lot was applied for.
• Prairie Run. Fieldstone’s attorney has been slow in reviewing and revising the
purchase agreement we sent over. I expect to receive their revisions later this
week or early next week.

Albertville Royalty: Staff was informed the Albertville Royal Court and Float won first place in
their first out-of-town parade in Cottage Grove and they wish to attend an upcoming City
