Nelson Billboard Appeal Brixius reported the applicant, Stephen Nelson, 7656 128th Street W, Apple Valley, MN, had applied for a billboard sign just west of the Space Aliens building. Brixius stated staff met with Sheila DeVine of Warnert Commercial Real Estate LLC to discuss options for the construction of a billboard on Block 1, Lot 1, Field Plaza 2nd Addition. In that meeting, staff discussed whether the site qualified as a billboard site under Albertville’s sign ordinance. Staff felt the billboard did not meet City Code standards as listed below: • The site in question is not immediately adjacent to the Interstate right-of-way. The site is separated from the Interstate by property owned by the City of Albertville. Without this adjacency, the site will not be eligible for a billboard. • A second issue exists relating to setbacks. Section 10-7-6 requires advertising devices to meet the minimum setback of the base zoning district. The site is zoned B-3 which requires a 20 foot rear yard setback. The City owned property to the north has a depth of 88 feet. Even if the property were considered immediately adjacent to the Interstate right-of-way, the 88 foot depth of the City property and the 20 foot setback required on the property places the Agenda Page 5 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 Regular Meeting of September 15, 2014 proposed sign more than 100 feet from the Interstate right-of-way outside of the defined adjacent area. On July 21, 2014, the City received a permanent sign permit application to construct a dynamic billboard on Block 1, Lot 1, Field Plaza 2nd Addition. After a phone discussion with the applicant, City staff issued an August 7, 2014 letter denying the sign permit finding that the site is not eligible for a billboard. On August 19, 2014, the City received a request for Council appeal of the sign permit denial (Exhibit C). After discussion between City staff and the applicant’s attorney, they submitted a revised appeal letter dated August 22, 2014 that approval of the sign should be granted on the following grounds: • The ordinance does not make reference to the adjacency requirement and the adjacent areas by definition may include multiple tiers of lot provided they are within 100 feet of the Interstate right-of-way. • The City owned right-of-way that lies between the applicant’s lot and the I-94 right-of-way is intended to be used as Interstate right-of-way with the development of Phase 2 of the Interchange improvements and should be considered part of the I-94 right-of-way. Brixius reported that in response to the appeal and grounds listed, staff found: • The proposed sign is located 108 feet from the I-94 right-of-way as defined as the adjacent area in Section 10-7-2 of the Albertville Sign Code. • The City owned right-of-way is not Interstate right-of-way in that it is owned by the City, contains utilities, and performs a separate function than the I-94 right-of-way. The City utilities will require relocation prior to its use as I-94 right-of-way. • While the Albertville Comprehensive Plan identifies the Phase 2 improvements to the County Road 19/I-94 ramp as a City goal, this goal is time sensitive in that it is reliant on actions beyond the control of the City. The City is not obligated to implement a zoning approval based on the stated Comprehensive Plan goal. The premature installation of a sign at this location may be an obstacle to the implementation of the City’s Comprehensive Plan goals for the County Road 19/I-94 ramp and C-D road. Patrick Cole, Larkin Hoffman Attorneys, was present and represents the applicant Mr. Nelson. He stated their issue is with the interpretation of adjacency requirements and they would like to see the ditch removed from the area of land to be included while determining adjacency. Vetsch stated that he was concerned about future claims for damages. Couri stated that they should not consider future damages, but whether it will inhibit the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan in the future. Agenda Page 6 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4 Regular Meeting of September 15, 2014 Couri stated that he felt staff interpretation to be correct and even if they should construct the ramp, they would need to measure from the prolongation of the normal right-of-way. He does not see how they could approve the billboard with the way the Code is written today. Couri stated that Minnesota does not allow a “use” variance and that is the type of variance that would likely be needed here. The only way he could see approval of the billboard sign would be to amend the ordinance which would be a Council policy decision that could affect current and future billboards. Vetsch inquired if the lot is a buildable lot. Brixius stated that it was and the Code does not prohibit both billboards and buildings on the same lot. Jacob Steen, Larson Hoffman Attorneys, suggested they amend the setback from 20 feet to 12 feet so that it affects only this property, rather than others in the City. Hendrickson stated that she is pro-business. Sorensen stated that he did not feel this should be addressed with a variance, but believes the only way to make it work would be to amend the Code. Olson inquired if they needed to act on the appeal. Couri stated they would need to reply to the applicant within sixty (60) days. Couri suggested bringing the item back to City Council at the October 6, 2014 meeting. Cole stated the applicant was comfortable extending the response period another thirty (30) days if needed. Council directed staff to work with the applicant to come up with a solution. 7. PUBLIC HEARING – None 8. Department Business B. City Council 1). Committee Updates (STMA Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, etc.) There were no committee updates. C. Finance - None 1). Approve the 2015 Preliminary Levy and Budget Vetsch inquired if they could take some of the $90,000 set aside for Fire Relief Association to decrease the levy amount. Lannes replied that if the money is taken out by either Otsego or Albertville, they would need to fund that money back the next year. She did not recommend doing so. Hendrickson stated she had spoken with Sheriff Hagerty regarding law enforcement services and stated she is comfortable with what was decided at the last workshop. Wagner stated that he is struggling with understanding the need for the additional Public Works position given the City is only four (4) square miles in size and invited Public Works Supervisor Guimont to speak as to why they needed an additional Agenda Page 7 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 Regular Meeting of September 15, 2014 Public Works employee. Guimont stated that they had outsourced for vehicle maintenance and repairs in the past and they have since taken all those repairs for Public Works, Fire, and STMA Ice Arena in-house due to the capabilities of the current staff. Wagner inquired if the City is saving money this way. Lannes stated that she has seen a significant decrease in expenses in that area. Guimont stated a lot of Public Works time is spent at City Hall for set up and take down for room reservations, usually every day. Guimont stated they have taken over sprinkler maintenance, street patching, and sidewalk repair/snowblowing. He stated they are struggling to maintain the current level of service as the City is getting older, requiring more work, and he would like to increase the level of service. Vetsch would like to see another sheriff’s quadrant car for northeast Wright County. Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to approve Resolution No. 2014-025 Adopting the Preliminary Property Tax Levy and Resolution No. 2014-026 Adopting the Preliminary Budget. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, and Wagner. Nays: Vetsch. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED. D. City Clerk - None E. Public Works/Engineering - None F. Building - None G. Legal 1). City Attorney’s Report H. Administration 1). City Administrator’s Update Sorensen inquired if the City newsletter would include candidate biographies. Lannes stated staff is currently undecided. Sorensen encouraged staff to include the candidate information in the newsletter, since he has received comments that residents have read and liked having that information in the newsletter. Hendrickson stated she would be attending an I-94 Coalition event with Corridors of Commerce to get the environmental study done for the expansion of I-94 to Highway 25 in Monticello.

Registration. The City appoints Northland Trust Services, Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota as bond registrar (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 the Bond and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Bond entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b) Transfer of Bond. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. (c) Exchange of Bond. When a Bond is 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. When a Bond is surrendered upon transfer or exchange it 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. Agenda Page 15 City of Albertville Resolution No. 2014-031 450510v1 MNI AL141-62 5 (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 Bond. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon 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 of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. A Bond 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. 2.04. Execution and Delivery. The Bond 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 Bond ceases to be such officer before the delivery of the 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. When the Bond has been so prepared and executed, the City Administrator will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. Section 3. Form of Bond. 3.01. Execution of the Bond. The Bond will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form as shown in EXHIBIT A. 3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Administrator will obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which will be complete except as to dating thereof . Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants. Agenda Page 16 City of Albertville Resolution No. 2014-031 450510v1 MNI AL141-62 6 4.01. Debt Service Fund. The Bond is payable from the General Obligation Improvement Refunding Bond, Series 2014A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created, and the proceeds of general taxes hereinafter levied (the “Taxes”) and special assessments (the “Assessments”) to be collected in 2015 and 2016 for the Improvements refinanced with the proceeds of the Bond are hereby pledged to the Debt Service Fund. If a payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds becomes due when there is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the Finance Director is directed to pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the City, and the general fund will be reimbursed for those advances out of the proceeds of Taxes and Assessments when collected. The debt service fund heretofore established for the Prior Bonds, as defined in the resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the Prior Bonds (the “Prior Resolution”), shall remain in effect with regard to all Prior Bonds except for the Refunded Bonds. 4.02. Redemption Fund. All proceeds of the Bond, less the appropriations made in Section 4.01 hereof and the costs of issuance of the Bonds, will be deposited in a separate fund (the “Redemption Fund”) to be used solely to redeem and prepay the Refunded Bonds on February 1, 2015 (the “Redemption Date”). Any balance remaining in the Redemption Fund after the redemption of the Refunded Bonds shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund herein created for the Bond. 4.03. Pledge of Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bond, there is hereby levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of the City.

Agenda Page 18 City of Albertville Resolution No. 2014-031 450510v1 MNI AL141-62 8 6.02. No Official Statement or Prospectus. It is determined that no official statement or prospectus has been prepared or circulated by the City in connection with the sale of the Bond and that the Purchaser has made its own investigations concerning the City as set forth in an investment letter of even date, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Section 7. Tax Covenant. 7.01. Tax-Exempt Bond. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bond 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 Bond to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect 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 Bond. 7.02. No Rebate Required. For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements, the City hereby finds, determines, and declares that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued and outstanding at one time is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code. 7.03. Not a Private Activity Bond. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bond or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bond to be a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. 7.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bond as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following factual statements and representations: (a) the Bond is not a “private activity bond” as defined in Section 141 of the Code; (b) the City designates the Bond as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code; (c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds which will be issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of the City) during calendar year 2014 will not exceed $10,000,000; and Agenda Page 19 City of Albertville Resolution No. 2014-031 450510v1 MNI AL141-62 9 (d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year 2014 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. 7.05. 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 9. Continuing Disclosure. 9.01. No Requirement of Continuing Disclosure. Participating underwriters need not comply with the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), because the offering is being sold (i) to investors in a single unit of $655,000 and (ii) to no more than 35 sophisticated investors, and is therefore exempt under the Rule. Consequently, the City will not enter into any undertaking to provide continuing disclosure of any kind with respect to the Bond. Section 10. Defeasance. When the Bond has been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to holders of the Bond 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 Bond will remain in full force and effect. The City may discharge the Bond on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If the 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.

INFORMATION: The Letter of Credit is held as performance and warranty security for the municipal improvements and landscaping improvements and is currently in the amount of $261,350. Assuming Guardian Angels is current with all fees owed to the City, and based on completed work, it is recommended that the letter of credit be reduced to no less than $31,200. The reduced balance is believed to be sufficient surety and is consistent with the development agreement. It is also recommended that municipal improvements, as required by the development agreement, be accepted and the two-year warranty period commence. KEY ISSUES: • Current amount of LOC is $261,350 and it is recommended that it be reduced to $31,200. • Recommendation is consistent with agreements and approvals. • The 2-year warranty period for the municipal improvements will begin upon acceptance. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy to have all letter of credit reductions approved by the City Council FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial implications for this request LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the legal authority under the Development Agreement to reduce the letter of credit upon completion of the required improvements or deny requests for reduction if the required improvements are found unacceptable.

The app would be created using custom design and branding for the City of Albertville and the app would be free of charge for users. City Center would silicate local businesses to enter into advertising agreements for a fee. KEY ISSUES: • City Center proposes to use the City of Albertville as a pilot city to launch this Smartphone app. City Center would waive the creation fee of $3,600 if the City agrees to participate as a pilot city. • In return, the City would be required to advertise the app on all digital signs, newsletter, utility bills, website and social media, and City buildings (using window clings). • The City would also be required to send a letter of introduction to all businesses and speak to other cities regarding City of Albertville’s experience with the app. • Additional features that can be added to the app could include photo sharing, rating experiences on Facebook, aggregate GPS data reports, and location-based advertising devices to increase awareness of local businesses. • The monthly fee for local businesses would be $49 per month. • The City would have no monthly fees or upgrade charges. • An account manager will be assigned to oversee the app and City staff would be needed for initial setup design and City notifications/calendar events. • The contract is for one year and will automatically renew, unless a sixty (60) day notice of termination is given by either party. • City Center would like to enter into an agreement as soon as possible in order to go live with the app on December 1, 2014 before the holiday season. • City Center representatives will be present at the October 6, 2014 City Council meeting to present the app. POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to enter into any agreement at any time.

Agenda Page 74 Mayor and Council Communication M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2014\100614\2014-10-06 STMA YHA Lawful Gambling Premises Permit.doc Meeting Date: October 6, 2014 October 2, 2014 SUBJECT: CITY CLERK – LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISES PERMIT APPLICATION FOR STMA YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION FOR WILLY MCCOYS, 5651 LACENTRE AVENUE NE BACKGROUND: The STMA Youth Hockey Association has submitted an application for a Lawful Gambling Premises Permit for Willy McCoys, located at 5651 LaCentre Avenue NE for pull-tabs, bar bingo, and paddlewheel. Currently, the Albertville Lions Club holds the premises permit for that location, but has since received a notice of lease termination from Willy McCoys. KEY ISSUES: • A resolution to approve the Lawful Gambling Premises Permit for the STMA Youth Hockey Association is attached. The resolution will need to be approved contingent upon receipt of 1) license fee of $100, 2) background investigation including “authorization to review bank records and an itemization of net profits of the previous year”, 3) a copy of the gambling manager fidelity bond, and 4) an affidavit that accounting and administrative control measures have not changed in the last year or an updated copy of the control measures. • Currently, the STMA Youth Hockey Association has Lawful Gambling Permits at 152 Club, Inc. and Neighbor’s Saloon and Eatery. • Lawful Gambling Premises Permits are perpetual, requiring no renewals once issued. • Establishments can allow more than one charitable gambling organization to operate out of their premises, so long as total lease income from all parties does not exceed $1,750.
