JOINT MEETING OF CITY OF ALBERTVILLE,
CITY OF ST. MICHAEL, AND STMA SCHOOL BOARD
Monday, October 12, 2015
ALBERTVILLE COUNCIL CHAMBERS
7:00 P.M.
The cities of Albertville and St. Michael met in a joint session with the STMA School Board to
discuss the STMA Arena 2nd Sheet Expansion Project.
City of Albertville present: Mayor Jillian Hendrickson, Council members Walter Hudson, Rob
Olson, Larry Sorenson, and John Vetsch, City Administrator Adam Nafstad, and City Clerk
Kimberly Olson
City of St. Michael present: Mayor Jerry Zachman, Council members Cody Gulick, Joe Marx,
Nadine Schoen, and Chris Schumm; and City Administrator Steve Bot
STMA School Board present: Chair Douglas Birk, Jeffrey Lindquist, Gayle Weber, Carol
Steffens and Drew Scherber, and District Superintendent Jim Behle
A. Welcome and Call to Order
Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m.
B. STMA YHA $1,000,000 Pledge Proposal
STMA Youth Hockey Association (STMA YHA) President Josh Opiola thanked the school and
cities for taking the time to discuss a second sheet. He stated the STMA YHA is at critical mass
with an unprecedented need for another sheet of ice. He stated that they are looking to bring a
viable option/solution forward.
Hanson reviewed the last discussion of a second sheet of ice in 2011 and the increase in
participation since that time. He stated that STMA YHA has come up with the financing
requested of them in previous discussions and provided the details of their proposal. He stated
that up to $500,000 of their proposal would be provided by bank loan. He stated they were able
to secure the $500,000 due to STMA YHA’s strong financials and program. Hanson explained
YHA expects fundraising will offset the loan amount actually needed and that fundraising will be
necessary to repay the loan. He stated YHA has $210,000 in cash to dedicate to the second
sheet. They would also use the $40,000 from Kraft Hockeyville USA and $250,000 from
Mighty Ducks funds (if awarded) to reach the $1,000,000.
Hanson addressed the timing of the Mighty Ducks Grant application and stated the grant was not
announced until end of August and that is also when they were able to secure funding.
Agenda Page 5
C. Mighty Ducks Grant Status Update
Nafstad reported the grant application was the only one the Minnesota Amateur Sports
Commission (MASC) received from congressional district 6. The application materials included
the feasibility study, demand study, construction estimate, and letters of support from elected
officials. However, MASC has deemed the resolution passed by the cities and school board as
“less than full” commitment. Nafstad explained the application’s boiler plate resolution was
modified to most accurately explain the current status of the expansion project.
Steffens inquired why the estimated cost is so high. Hanson stated they could build a less
expensive rink, but it would not include bleachers, concessions, etc. There was discussion on the
estimate and it was stated that $8 million is strictly a planning figure based on a previous
expansion concept.
Hendrickson asked the group to transition to the funding discussion on the agenda. Nafstad
provided the history on how the arena was built and the additions made to it over the years. He
stated that historically each entity has generally shared costs equally in thirds. It was also noted
that the cities shared the cost of the locker room addition and the school purchased the vacant lot
adjacent to the arena.
Hudson stated he is interested in knowing if the school board can participate because the two
cities need to know if they will be funding 50% or 33% for a second sheet. Birk stated that
funding for a second sheet is not in their operating costs. He stated that the school board could
not commit to funding at this time, but may be able to look at a modest contribution in the future.
He stated that there may be an operations levy within three to seven years for the school district,
so it would be difficult to also have a referendum for a second sheet and the district must
consider future challenges it will face. Scherber stated the cities should assume they would need
to fund 50% each. Weber stated that the school is limited in what they can levy for. Schumm
inquired if the school could contribute in some other fashion, such as operations. Lindquist
provided explanation on the Arena’s annual budget and questioned if that would actually help the
cities fund an expansion. Steffens expressed concern that an increased operations contribution
from the school would take away from funds needed to pay teachers. Schumm reiterated that the
operations contribution could be over a number of years.
Bot brought up G.O. bonding and Nafstad stated tax abatement bonding would likely be an
option for all groups. Behle stated the school board has not discussed bonding options or had a
chance to research such scenarios, so it would be unfair to the school to have that discuss now.
Behle stated he will research the options and discuss with the school board. Bot stated the
entities have worked very well together in the partnership and he would like to see that continue
in regards to funding the second sheet. Nafstad stated the groups need to determine if the second
sheet is a simple practice sheet (without bleacher and concessions) or if it will be built to include
bleachers and concessions and hold tournaments.
D. Funding Discussion/Planning Budget Next Steps to Move Project Forward
The groups discussed a tour of ice arenas within the vicinity. They discussed visiting a variety of
facilities in the $4-8 million range. An ice arena tour was scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at
12:00 p.m. at the STMA Ice Arena.
Agenda Page 6
Opiola stated they are very fortunate to even have these discussions as it is not the case for many
cities and youth associations.
Vetsch expressed concern with doing the project in phases and adding things like bleachers and
concessions after the fact becomes too costly. Vetsch also suggested that the Fire Marshal look at
capacity of the existing sheet as he was concerned it is not sufficient for some of the crowds.
Hudson stated that the Albertville council will need to determine if it is realistic and feasible for
the city to fund a $2-4 million project.
Hendrickson asked if the school board would be willing to bond if there is a way. Birk stated
that question has not been posed to the board and they have not had the opportunity to deliberate
the issue. Hendrickson also questioned a referendum. Behle explained the referendum process
and also described how the school typically associates levy with learning needs and bonding with
building needs.
Both Hendrickson and Schumm suggested they would like to see it put to a vote. Behle talked
about the difficulties that can sometimes be had with referendums. Schumm said it comes down
to how the campaign is handled. There was some back and forth discussion at large regarding
referendums, voting, and campaigning limits.
Zachman questioned the timing of the Mighty Duck announcement. Nafstad explained that
Mighty Ducks would like more commitment and a revised resolution by October 26, 2015 and
said he was told the grants would be awarded on November 18. Lucy stated that if the resolution
is not firmed up, no grant will be issued for their application. Hanson was hoping that since
there are no other applications, there would still be potential to receive grant funds. He
suggested working back from the November 18 date that was set by the Mighty Ducks.
Behle inquired about discussion St. Michael may have had regarding the second sheet. Zachman
stated they need to know numbers and how much they would be funding. Schoen felt there is a
need in the community and wants to find a way to make it work.
E. Adjourn
Motioned by Hendrickson, seconded by Schoen, to adjourn the meeting. All voted aye. The
meeting was adjourned at 8:57 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

1). Committee Updates (STMA Ice Arena, Planning, JPWB, Parks, Fire Board, etc.)
Planning Commission
Hudson reported the Commission reviewed the current sign code and he stated that suggested
revisions will be brought forward to Council in order to see if Council has any objections to the
revisions prior to the public hearing at the next Planning Commission meeting.
A. Public Works/Engineering
1). License to Construct Pool in Drainage Easement (pgs 30-36)
Nafstad reported the owner of the property located at 10332 Karston Avenue NE would like to build
a pool in their rear yard and the majority of the rear yard is covered by a drainage and utility
easement. Normally, no building can occur within such an easement. Staff cannot determine why
the easement on the property is as large as it is, but believes it was likely due to wetlands. He stated
that it appears the pool could be constructed without significant impact to drainage or utilities. Per
conversation with the City Attorney, it appears a license agreement with the homeowner would be
most appropriate. Nafstad stated they would not want to vacate the easement and if the easement is
needed for wetland purposes, the homeowner would be required to bring it into compliance. Couri
clarified that this would not alter drainage of other properties in the area.
Vetsch questioned why the pool would be placed in the easement when that is generally not allowed.
Nafstad stated that normally the rear yard easement is five to ten feet from the rear lot line and this
one begins 13 feet behind the home. Staff could not find documentation for why the easement is so
large, but it does not appear that it will impact any drainage.
Motioned by Hudson, seconded by Sorensen, to approve License Agreement for Lot 1, Block 5
Cedar Creek north to allow construction of a swimming pool within a drainage and utility
easement. Ayes: Hendrickson, Hudson, Sorensen, and Vetsch. Nays: None. Absent: Olson.

H. Administration
1). Arena Joint Meeting Follow Up – Discussion
Nafstad reported the school district will be discussing a second sheet of ice. He reported that the
school needs to identify what the needs of the boys and girls hockey program are. He stated that the
school district also needs to look at seating needs. He reported there is a way the school can levy
without voter approval. He stated that the school district clearly heard the two cities and is looking
at options.
Nafstad stated the date of the ice arena tour had changed. He stated the consensus of the St. Michael
City Council is that if the school does not participate, the second sheet would not be built for varsity
games. Hendrickson felt one option would be to build room for bleachers at the time the second
sheet is constructed and then install bleachers at a later date. Nafstad responded by that would
require the building be sized for future bleachers and would add to the costs.
Vetsch inquired about the lacrosse association using the facility in off-peak times and Sorensen
stated other groups have shown interest in using the facility. Vetsch stated that other local ice arenas
do the same.
Both Sorensen and Hendrickson felt there is value to having the area in town although it is difficult
to determine what that value is. Hendrickson felt the arena is in a good location next to the park.
Nafstad stated that the arena is a unique partnership of Albertville, St. Michael, and the school
board; and is not found in many other communities.
Council discussed having the voters decide at an election. Sorensen stated that if the second sheet
fails at a vote, it would be very hard to justify raising the levy to move forward with a second sheet.
Hendrickson stated that she does not think a second sheet will only benefit hockey and sees it as a
community use. Sorensen stated it could be considered as an extension of the City’s parks. Nafstad
stated that currently some groups are turned away or cannot be accommodated. He stated that
outdoor ice rinks are not a viable option.
Hudson stated he would like to see a number of items on the record and they were:
• He stated that with a voter approved bond, residents may consider funding from either the
city or the state as a tax and ultimately the money is coming out of their pockets regardless of
how the second sheet is funded.
• Funding the arena means that there are other projects or needs that will not be funded.
• The Council needs to consider future projects and needs it will face in the future. An
example would be the required improvements and upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment
Facility.
Agenda Page 10
DRAFTCity Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of October 19, 2015
Sorensen indicated that he can see the school’s position and concerns regarding future funding.
Hendrickson stated that the school also faces disparity issues as well. She also felt that sports in
education are beneficial and athletics are important for kids.
Nafstad reported that it seems the consensus is that the second sheet does not hinge solely on the
whether they receive the Mighty Ducks grant and Hudson agreed.
Sorensen stated that the STMA YHA will need to pay back the $500,000 bank loan and he
questioned if they will also be able to handle ice time rates.
2). Albertville-Otsego Joint Fire Advisory Committee Update
Nafstad reported that the Fire Advisory Committee is beginning to address the larger issues and
questions associated with moving towards a joint powers fire agreement. The Committee
recommended entering into a memorandum of understanding to ensure both Otsego and Albertville
Councils are on the same page and to memorialize the intent of both groups.
Nafstad reported that Fire Chief Bullen informed the Committee of a grant to help with the
formation of a draft joint powers fire agreement.
Nafstad indicated that it will be a lengthy process. Sorensen mentioned that the current five year
contract will be coming due. Nafstad stated that a joint powers fire agreement does not need to be in
place by the time the current contract is up and there are other options they could pursue in the
meantime.
Vetsch inquired if the grant funds would need to be paid back if a joint powers fire agreement was
not reached and Nafstad replied it would not.
Vetsch wanted to make sure voting rights are addressed.
Hudson stated he likes the idea of a memorandum of understanding as it gives them something to
look back on and to record the history of the discussions.
Hendrickson thanked the Council members serving on the Committee for their time and effort.
3). City Administrator’s Update
Nafstad provided on update on cleaning services at City Hall.
Nafstad reported they are moving ahead with the easement agreements for the Lachman drain tile.
9. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND/OR UPCOMING MEETINGS
Hendrickson reported that she and Hudson attended the I-94 ribbon cutting ceremony in Rogers on
October 13.

Re: City of Albertville
Renewal Period: 10/1/15 – 10/1/16
According to the Underwriting Criteria for LMCIT’s Optional No-Fault Sewer Back-Up Coverage,
the City needs to qualify for this coverage each year. Also, in order for the City to qualify for this
coverage, a completed No Fault Sewer Back up Application must be submitted annually. I have
reviewed the City’s expiring covenant along with sewer back-up claim information, if any, and I am
pleased to advise that the City of Albertville continues to meet the Underwriting Criteria necessary
to qualify for No-Fault Sewer Back-Up Coverage.
LMCIT is here to help. If we can be of any further assistance regarding the maintenance of the
City’s Sewer Program, feel free to contact me directly at 651-215-4048 or at 800-925-1122 ext

Liam Biever, LMCIT Underwriting Manager
RE: Coverage Changes to LMCIT’s Optional No-Fault Sewer Backup Coverage
Your city is one of several that purchases LMCIT’s optional no -fault sewer backup (NFSB) coverage,
which has been offered to cities as an additional-cost option since 2001. This coverage reimburses a
property owner for up to $10,000 (higher limits of $25,000 and $40,000 are available) of clean-up
costs and damages caused by a sewer backup or water main break, irrespective of whether the city was
negligent or legally liable for those damages.
The NFSB coverage was introduced in 2001 after being requested by several cities. The coverage is
meant to be fully funded by member cities that choose to purchase it (i.e. not subsidized by member
cities that choose not to purchase it), since the intent of the coverage is to really provide a solution for
cities that want to cover sewer backup claims or water main breaks, even if the city is not negligent.
Of course another intent of the coverage is to help reduce health hazards by encouraging prompt clean-
ups.
For 2015, there are important changes to the NFSB coverage that will effectively narrow the coverage.
The coverage has always had an exclusion for natural disasters and situations w here there’s been
exceptionally heavy rainfall. The revision makes the coverage more restrictive. That is, there will now
be a broader range of events that will be excluded under the NFSB coverage.
Why is LMCIT making these changes?
There are currently 77 member cities that purchase NFSB coverage, which generates about $156,000 in
annual premiums. After the heavy rains this summer, specifically the July rainstorms, over 50 claims
were submitted under the NFSB coverage, with a total cost in the range of $500,000. Accordingly, the
NFSB coverage program operated at a loss this year, with those losses being funded by LMCIT
reserves rather than through the premiums generated by this program.
Because of the way the NFSB coverage is currently written, it could expose LMCIT to an extremely
expensive total loss cost in some circumstances which the current premium rates are not adequate to
support.
What are the changes?
Following are the coverage changes that will be made for renewals on or after November 15, 2014.
These changes should reduce the loss costs under this coverage to a level the current rates can support.
If your city chooses to continue with the NFSB coverage in 2014-15, you will receive a new
endorsement with the changes outlined herein.
Agenda Page 19
2 | P a g e
Now excludes any situation declared a disaster by FEMA.
The exclusion for FEMA-declared disasters has been reworded to exclude NFSB coverage in any
weather-related or other event which has been declared by the President of the United States to be
a major disaster pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5206, commonly known as the Stafford Act.
Coverage language prior to the 2014-15 coverage year referred to situations where FEMA disaster
assistance was available, which created an ambiguity as to whether the assistance had to be
available to the homeowner in order for the exclusion to apply. Changes this year now exclude any
situation declared a disaster by FEMA.
Now excludes any situation where rainfall exceeds certain amounts, which is more restrictive
than the “100-year rainfall” standard used in the previous coverage.
The exclusion for heavy rainfall events has been revised to apply to any situation in which rainfall
or precipitation exceeds the following amounts:
2.0 inches in a 1-hour period; or
2.5 inches in a 3-hour period; or
3.0 inches in a 6-hour period; or
3.5 inches in a 12-hour period; or
4.0 inches in a 24-hour period; or
4.5 inches in a 72-hour period; or
5.5 inches in a 168-hour period.
Coverage language prior to the 2014-15 coverage year had excluded situations in which rainfall or
precipitation excided the 100-year rainfall amount for the location. LMCIT will no longer use the
100-year rainfall as an indicator for claim exclusion. It will now be based on the above amounts.
With the coverage changes taking place, will the premium rates for NFSB coverage change?
No. Rates for NFSB coverage will not change for the 2014-15 coverage year (which is based on a per
sewer connection basis).
Do we have to pass a new resolution if our city chooses to continue with the NFSB coverage?
Yes. Part of the process for putting the NFSB coverage in place is
for your city council to pass a formal resolution that makes the
NFSB protection part of the agreement between the city and the
sewer customer. The idea is that by paying their sewer bill, the
sewer user is purchasing not just sewer services but also the right to
be reimbursed for certain specified sewer backup costs and
damages. Because of the coverage changes taking place, NFSB
members will need to pass a new resolution so the contractual
obligation to provide NFSB costs to water and sewer customers
aligns with the coverage you are purchasing with LMCIT to
provide those benefits. Attached with this letter is a model
resolution that can be used.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet Information\2015\110215\11 02 15 Finance Certification of Outstanding UBs & invoices RCA.doc
Meeting Date: November 2, 2015
October 27, 2015
SUBJECT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT – APPROVAL OF THE 2015 CERTIFICATION OF
UNCOLLECTED UTILITY BILLS AND INVOICES
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2015-037 entitled a Resolution Certifying the 2015
Uncollected Utility Bills and invoices 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 16, 2015, the City has the ability to certify such
outstanding debt to the appropriate property that would be collected with the Real Estate Taxes.
KEY ISSUES: The key issue regarding the outstanding debt is allowing the City to certify it to
the property taxes ensuring collection.

M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet Information\2015\110215\60th St. ROW RCA.doc
Meeting Date: November 2, 2015
October 29, 2015
SUBJECT: PLANNING - 60TH STREET NE RIGHTS-OF-WAY DESIGN CONCEPT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council review the
attached rights-of-way design concept and either make recommendations for revisions to the
proposed design, or accept the design as is with the following motion:
MOTION TO: Approve the design concept for the 60th Street NE rights-of-way and initiate
moving ahead with implementation of the project.
BACKGROUND: City staff met with the owner of El Bamba Mexican Restaurant near the
intersection of Main Avenue NE and 60th Street NE, just south of CSAH 37. They expressed an
interest in purchasing the car wash next door as well, and requested the City consider enhancing
parking and landscaping within the 60th Street NE rights-of-way just north of the businesses to
make the area more attractive and functional.
The Albertville Visioning Study identifies goals for helping to maintain and protect Albertville’s
small town atmosphere, including:
- Enhancing the areas surrounding the Albertville interchange ramps, which serve as the
gateway to the community, through planning, development and/or redevelopment of
marginal and under-utilized properties.
- Maintaining and developing high quality commercial areas through the application of
quality architectural standards and site design elements such as parking, landscaping, and
lighting that promote an attractive shopping environment.
- Investigating the redevelopment of the Main Avenue NE streetscape to create an
attractive historical downtown, including improving available public/private parking to
enhance the appearance of the downtown area and attractive streetscape, landscaping,
lighting and sidewalk amenities.
Improvements to the 60th Street NE rights-of-way north of the El Bamba Mexican Restaurant
near the gateway to downtown Albertville would be consistent with the described visioning
study goals. At the direction of the City Administrator, planning staff created a concept for the
design of parking and landscaping areas in the right-of-way area. The design incorporates the
following:
- 13 new parking spaces
- Concrete curbs
- A landscape design for the City of Albertville sign
- Shrub screening and landscaping improvements for the parking area

- Trees to provide visual interest and some shade in association with the parking area.
Trees were strategically placed to largely maintain views to the Albertville sign and
nearby businesses from CSAH 37.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: None.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Staff estimates that the paving, curbing and landscaping
costs associated with the project would be as follows, depending on whether the City made the
determination to implement the extended landscaping design area as shown on the attached
concept plan:
Estimated Cost of parking improvement (curbing, paving, etc.): $14,500
Option 1: Cost of landscaping improvement with additional planting area + 25% contingency to
cover cost of ground restoration, soil improvement and / or mulching): $4,375
Option 2: Cost of landscaping improvement without additional planting area + 25% contingency
to cover cost of ground restoration, soil improvement and / or mulching): $3,375
Total estimated cost for implementation of parking improvements and Option 1 landscaping
improvements: $18,875.00
Total estimated cost for implementation of parking improvements and Option 2 landscaping
improvements: $17,875.00
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: None.

Meeting Date: November 2, 2015
Mayor and Council Request for Action
_____________________________________________________________________________
October 30, 2015
SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT- PURCHASE OF SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
(SCBA)
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Authorize the purchase of new SCBA based on low quotes, for a total purchase
amount not-to-exceed $124,000.
BACKGROUND: The Albertville Fire Department’s current SCBA’s were purchased with
charitable gambling proceeds in 2005. National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) guidelines
recommend that the service life of SCBA’s is 10 years. The Department currently has 20 SCBA
packs, 40 SCBA bottles, and 33 SCBA masks. There is no NFPA allowance for refurbishing or
partially replacing SCBA pieces if they do not all meet the current NFPA standard. The SCBA
masks are fitted-tested yearly and are specific to each individual fire fighter.
The NFPA continually updates the safety standards and required safety features in the SCBA’s.
The standard that regulated our current SCBA’s was formulated in 2002. Since then the NFPA
has made regulated changes in 2007 and most recently in 2013.
The current SCBA’s will reach their 10-year service life in December of 2015. The 40 SCBA
bottles are overdue for scheduled 5-year hydro testing, which could be avoided if new SCBA’s
were purchased. The emergency service of our current SCBA’s is being done in Texas, taking
the SCBA out of service and requiring rather large shipping costs. The current SCBA’s are now
also out of warranty.
The Fire Department’s Board of Officers received product demos from 4 SCBA companies that
are represented in our area. After the product demos, the Board of Officers requested price
quotes from 3 of the companies and requested info for both 2015 and 2016 pricing. The
breakdown on pricing per ordering year is seen in the following chart:
Alex Air / Draeger: 2015 = $123,395 2016 = $130,830
Company B: 2015 = $143,379 2016 = $161,289
Company C: 2015 = $138,135 2016 = $140,898
Staff is recommending approval of the purchase of SCBA’s not to exceed $124,000. The
SCBA’s will be ordered this year, with delivery and payment in early 2016 (2015 pricing).
KEY ISSUES:
• The Fire Department Board of Officers and City Staff have reviewed the purchase and is
recommending Council action.
• The SCBA order will be made now and the Department will take delivery next spring.

Purchase of New Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Page 2 of 2
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet Information\2015\110215\2015-11-02 Fire SCBA RCA.doc
Meeting Date: November 2, 2015
• Ordering in 2015 guarantees the 2015 price and places the Department high on the priority
list for earlier delivery.
• The SCBA purchase is a planned purchase and part of the Fire Department’s capital
equipment budget.
• The upcoming capital purchases have been discussed at Joint Fire Committee and Fire
Department meetings.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy for the Council to review and approve all
capital purchases and investments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The cost associated with the SCBA’s will be funded
through fire department capital reserves and the 2016 capital budget. Approximately 40% of the
capital equipment budget is funded as part of the service agreement with Otsego.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the authority to purchase equipment under the
State of Minnesota contract or by quotes.

Recycling Fees: Included in the packet are options to buy-down monthly residential recycling
fees using current reserves.
FYCC Update: At their recent meeting, the FYCC Board reviewed year-end financials, discussed

exceeding expenditures by $3,990. The next Board meeting will be December 10.
2016 Fee Schedule: Staff is reviewing the City’s fee and rate schedule and will be presenting
the draft schedule at the first meeting in December for approval.
Joint Fire Committee: The Chief is working on an application for a Shared Service Grant
through the State Fire Marshall’s Office. Grant dollars would be used to further explore a
potential joint powers agreement. Attached is the letter of support prepared by Otsego and a
draft letter from Albertville for the Mayor to sign.
Enterprise Budgets: Included as a discussion item on the agenda are the 2016 enterprise
budgets. No formal action is required. Currently, we have rate increases planned for 2017 and
we will continue to monitor fund balances.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS

Main Avenue NE Railroad Crossing: We are still waiting for the agreement from BNSF for the
crossing.
Lachman Avenue NE Rear Yard Drainage: Easement documents have been mailed to the five

RE: Shared Services Grant Application for Albertville and Otsego Fire District
Dear Mr. Roed,
On behalf of the City of Albertville, I am pleased to submit this letter of support for the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety/State Fire Marshal Division Shared Services Grant
Program.
As you are aware, the cities of Albertville and Otsego share a great working relationship and
progressive vision of joint fire service for the future. The common vision and strong partnership
have enabled the successful delivery of fire and rescue services to the Albertville/Otsego
community. Together the communities have developed a Joint Fire Advisory Committee to
guide delivery of those services. This past year, with the help and leadership of you and your
office, the Joint Fire Committee was able to successfully hire and implement the Department’s
first full-time Fire Chief.
Today, the two communities are discussing strengthening their partnership through a Joint
Powers Agreement for a Fire Department. The Shared Services Grant Program would allow the
two communities to thoroughly explore the Joint Powers Agreement option and potentially
develop the framework for a successful joint powers program.
The City of Albertville is very appreciative for all the guidance and resources you and your
office have provide our Fire Department. Thank you for considering Albertville and Otsego for
the Shared Service Grant program.
Sincerely,
Jillian Hendrickson
Mayor of Albertville
