Bob Sullentrop updated the Council on the PPM water

be corrected.
At this time Mr. Dennis Kelly was introduced to the
City Council as the new owner of PPM. Mr. Kelly expressed
his concern in seeing that the problems at PPM are resolved.
He would like to work: with the City and the City's engineers

Mr. John Darkenwald and Mr. Wallace Odell,
representing the developers, were present to discuss with
the Council any questions that might need to be
answered. Maureen informed the Council that the Planning
Commission had met and had worked with the developers in
developing a site plan that would meet the concerns of the
City.
Maureen informed the Council that the public hearings
on the Darkenwald rezoning and preliminary plat request had
been noticed and held according to statute. The Council was
informed that it was the opinion of the Albertville Planning
Commission that the request for rezoning be forwarded to the
Council for action. Bob Miller, the City's attorney stated
that the Council would need to amend the zoning ordinance so
that it would account for the change zoning. Bob went on
to explain that the ordinance would need to be approved by a
4/5 vote in order for the ordinance to be amended.
Gary Schwenzfeier made a motion to approve the
preliminary plat for Darkenwald's Westwind, Phase I, and
requested that Bob Miller draw up the necessary ordinance
needed to approve the zoning on the effected land. Bob Braun
seconded this motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
Maureen Andrews reviewed with the Council the Planning
Commission's recommendation on the preliminary plat for the
Braun's Addition, Phase I. The Council was informed that the
hearing was noticed and held according to the requirements
set forth by law. It was the intent of the Planning
Commission that the Braun Plat be approved as drawn, but
that the following items should be noted by the Council.
The minutes should note that the following issues were
brought forth as some concerns: Neil Meyer's lot and the
issue of the storm water run off in the area of Main Avenue.
The first issue brought up was the possible problem of
water backing up onto the Neil Meyer lot, which faces Lannon
Avenue. The Council was informed that Bob Rohlin of
Meyer-Rohlin was present at the hearing and is aware of the
problem and felt that with very little work a catch basin
could be tied into the storm sewer system so that the Meyer
lot would not be negatively impacted by the new subdivision.
The next issue reviewed was that of Doug Psyk"s concern
regarding the storm water run-off in the area of Main
Avenue, which drains through his property. He asked that
the engineers look at the area to assure proper drainage.
He went on to explain at the public hearing that the biggest
drainage problem occurs in the Heuring ditch area because
the ditch becomes overgrown and the water becomes trapped
with no release. Doug asked that in an effort to reduce any
potential problems that the City consider semiannually

There was also some discussion regarding the use of
partial cal -du -sacs. Gary Schwenzfeier asked why the
subdivision had been designed with this type of
cal -du -sac'? It was pointed out that without this design
the development would not have as many lots because of the
limited street access. It was also pointed out that without
the cal -du -sacs the back lots would be deep but would not
have enough frontage to meet the requirements of
single-family zoning, therefore fewer lots would have been
allowed.
A motion to approve Braun's Addition, Phase I, was made
by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All
were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes should
note that Bob Braun abstained from voting on the approval of
the Braun's Addition, Phase I.
Mr. Keith Franklin, of Franklin Outdoor Advertising,
was present at the meeting to ask permission from the
Council to erect six billboard signs on the west end of
Albertville between the Burlington Northern railroad and the
south side of Interstate I-94. Keith explained to the
Council that he had requested these permits last fall, but
had been waiting for approval of railroad for the purpose of
locating the signs on railroad right-of-way.
Keith informed the Council that he was requesting
Permission to construct signs which would be 30 feet wide
and constructed on a steel beam structure. He went on to
explain that the six signs would be located 500 feet apart
and would be located 20 feet from the railroad tracks. In
order to get a sense of the size of the signs he explained
that they would be one half the size of what is currently
constructed now and will stand 20 feet in the air so as not
to obstruct vision.
Mr. Franklin stated that they have been waiting since
October of 1987 for approval from TBI. He also stated that
the constructions follow all the ordinances as set forth by
the State of Minnesota.
The City's attorney stated that the new ordinance
requires additional information such as copies of
specifications stating what kind of structure, the
dimensions of the structure, the exact locations, etc., and
believed additional information was needed before the
Council could take any action on the issue. Bob also
pointed out that the Council is currently considering the
rezoning of said property in the near future, and that in
order for the signs to be "grandfathered in" that they would
have to be erected before rezoning becomes final or they
would not be allowed to be built.
COUNCIL MINUTES
PAGE 4
Donatus Vetsch asked about the impact the rezoning
would have on the Council decisions regarding the signs. It
was stated that the City would continue to have some
property rights after the permit was issued, but that once
the structures are built that it is typical they would be
allowed to stay in existence under the grandfather clause.
It was pointed out that the City uses the annual
renewal as a method of maintaining some control over the
structures within the City limits.
It was suggested that it might be helpful if staff met
with Keith and City staff go over the issue discussed at the
meeting prior to the next Council meeting and report back to
the Council the results of the meeting. Prior to the
meeting Keith was asked to put together the additional
information requested by the City. Keith agreed to set up
the meeting with Bob Miller and Maureen Andrews to discuss
the issue and try to resolve it before the next meeting.
Donatus Vetsch made a motion to table the billboard
issue until the next regular meeting, which would allow time
for the meeting to work through the issues. Gary
Schwenzfeier seconded the motion. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
The next item reviewed by the Council was the income
received and the bills to be paid. The Barco bill and the
NSP bill were not to be paid at this time. Gary Schwenzfeier
asked about the outstanding sewer accounts, and whether or
not they be certified to the County. It was agreed that
Maureen would look into the issue and report back the
findings to the Council. With no other discussion, a motion
was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Bob Braun to
approve the bills. All were in favor and checks 8584 through
B599 were paid.
Maureen Andrews updated the Council on the computer.
The computer being considered is being offered by Quest
Information Systems and would include specialized utility
billing system, an electronic spread sheet and a word
processing package. Maureen explained that since the
computer is an IBM compatible machine, there are some over
the counter software packages that can be looked at for
future use, in addition, software is available through
Quest. The complete computer package will cost $5,543.00,
with the $250.00 for the maintenance package included for
free during the month of March. It was also pointed that
the purchase agreement allows room to back out of the
agreement within the first 90 days without any explanation.
There was some discussion about the fact that only
$2,000.00 had been budgeted for this program. The Council
COUNCIL MINUTES
PAGE 5
members were informed that there were some administration
costs that had not previously been used in an old bond issue
and would be available to use. Additionally, it was
suggested that other funds might be available as well.
Gary Schwenzfeier asked what was going to be done
regarding the money being allocated to accounting work.
Maureen explained that there was software available to fund
accounting but that she had not looked into it at this time
because it had been agreed upon at budget time that the City
would not look at making a change in accounting practices
for a least a year so that there would be time to get a
system set up, but that hopefully in the near future the
City will be able to eventually move to a quarterly service
from the accountant's office.
Hearing no other discussion, Bob Braun made a motion to
purchase the computer and software package. Gary
Schwenzfeier seconded the motion. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
Maureen Andrews brought to the Council's attention that
it would be necessary to set the Board of Review Hearing for
April 19, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. It was pointed out that the
County had originally scheduled the meeting for April 12th,
but had recently changed the date. With no other
discussion,Bob Braun made a motion to set the hearing. The
motion was seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
The issue of insurance for the Albertville City float
was next discussed. Since the City is picking up the cost of
the license tabs, we would also be responsible for the
insurance. The float is classified as a trailer and it
appears that the charge will be minimal.
The phone problem was discussed at some length. Maureen
Andrews stated that she had checked with United Telephone on
a 3 line phone (2 lines for Administration, 1 line for
Maintenance) which would ring on Lorie's desk: so that she
could take all the incoming calls. It appears that if the
City was to purchase the phone through United Telephone, the
cost for a Panasonic 3 line phone would run $254.00,or
$420.00 if it was installed.
There was a great deal of discussion regarding the
phone problem and what options the City has for resolving
them. It was agreed that Gary Schwenzfeier and Maureen
Andrews would talk with a phone representative on what kinds
of phone systems are available and what would be most
feasible for the City. No further action was taken.
COUNCIL MINUTES
PAGE 6
Maureen Andrews stated that the bond schedules had been
included in the packets and that if there was any input that
the Council should contact Brad Farnham with the changes.
The Council was told that Brad had asked for formal
permission to draft the cover letter to send to the
developers of the proposed air industrial park: requesting a
description of their project team and requesting some
upfront monies to cover the City's expenses involved in
undertaking a project of this magnitude. In addition, it
was suggested that the City might want to consider putting
together a news release for the Crow River News in order to
dispel the rumors regarding a metropolitan airport. Gary
suggested that the City hold on making a news release until
the City receives information back from the developers and
all the members agreed.
The Council was informed that the new League of
Minnesota Legislative Update is available for anyone's
review.
The only other information Maureen had for the Council
was the dates of upcoming meetings:
Staff meeting on Friday, March 25th, Bob Miller's
office, 2:00 p.m.
Staff Meeting with Developers on Monday, March 28th at
City Hall, at 1:00 p.m.
Council/Staff Work meeting on March 30th, 7:00 p.m.
The Council next heard from the Maintenance Department.
Ken Lindsay asked permission from the Council to sell
several pieces of equipment which are no longer of any use
to the Maintenance Department. Available for sale are 2
CS3101 flight pumps from the old disposal plant, the 16 HP
Allis lawnmower (the motor is bad) and the Mars street
sweeper (too small, kicks up too much dust).
After some discussion, it was agreed to put an ad in
the Crow River News for the lawnmower and the street
sweeper. An ad would be placed in the League of Minnesota
Cities magazine for the flight pumps. All, at best offer
from sealed bids.
Ken next asked if the Council had considered purchasing
the garage that Albert Barthel had offered to the City. Ken
would like to see the building used for storage out at the
Wastewater Treatment Facility. it was agreed that Donatus
Vetsch and Gary Schwenzfeier would look at the garage to see
if it meets the City's needs. Donatus Vetsch expressed he
concern regarding the fact that the City needs to address
the issue of complying Kith the City ordinances if
it expects the residents to.
COUNCIL MINUTES

Ken Lindsay made a request to the Council to attend
ponds school again this year. There is one in April at
Fergus Falls and one in May at Albany. Ken stated he would
like to attend the one scheduled for May 10-13 in Albany.
The cost is $60.00 for the school only. Donatus Vetsch asked
that this decision be table until a later meeting closer to
the date of the school. '
Another problem discussed was what to do about getting
some help for the work that needs to be done while Mike is
out with a Worker's Compensation injury. Donatus Vetsch
stated that he did not think it was necessary to hire
anybody else full time. Gary Schwenzfeier said that he would
be available to help fill cracks, etc., if necessary.
Gary Schwenzfeier expressed his concern regarding the
condition of the John Deere tractor and snow blower. He
stated that he is concerned that the machine will not last
if if continues to be operated so hard and that he would
like the Maintenance Department to not run the machine so
hard if possible.
David Stromberg was present to review with the Council
the issue of dog catching and the services he might be able
to provide to the City of Albertville. He reviewed with
the Council the dog catcher's contract he has with the City
of Monticello, in an effort to come to some type of
agreement with the City.
There was some discussion about what to do with a dog
once caught. It was agreed that the animal needs to be
retained until the catcher can get o town to pick up the
dog, once notified. There was some discussion about cages
and what the City would need to have on hand to retain the
animal.
Gary Schwenzfeier asked if Mr. Stromberg would be
willing to talk to the owners of animals that the City has
continual problems with. Dave explained that he feels that
doing the public relations items are part of the Job and
will be willing to talk to people about their dogs if the
situation became necessary. In addition, he pointed out that
the Sheriff's Department will handle any barking dog
complaints.
After some additional discussion, the Council agreed to
work. with David Stromberg in developing a contract for dog
catching. In addition the City Attorney will update the
ordinance pertaining to dogs. It was pointed out that the
City needs to authorize a couple people that will
responsible for contacting the catcher when an animals needs
to be picked up.

Dear Mr. Marks:
Re: Cooling Water Pond Discharges
On January 20, 1988, in a letter to your firm, we requested, on
behalf of the City of Albertville, that you apply for and obtain the
proper permits from the State of Minnesota for your cooling water
ponds. On February 17, 1988, you informed us in a telephone
conversation that you were in the process of filling out the
application, but were unable to complete them because the material
data safety sheets weren't available for a chemical which is used in
the boiler. You informed us that these would be obtained within a
week and that you would then copy us and the City with the permit
applications. On March 3, 1988, you telephoned Ms. Maureen Andrews,
Albertville's City Administrator, and informed her that the data
sheets had arrived and that the applications would be submitted
within a week.
The City Council has instructed us to inform you that if completed
applications are not provided before the next regular council
meeting, or a written explanation submitted as to why not, that they
will most likely authorize legal proceedings to be initiated. The
next regular meeting is scheduled for March 21, 1988, at 7:00 p.m.
Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions concerning
this matter.
Sincerely,

SPECIAL WORK MEETING
of the
COUNCIL
MARCH 15, 1988
A special work meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday, March 15, 1988.
Members present included Mayor Loretta Roden, Council members Gary Schwenzfeier
and Bob Braun. Others present included Maureen Andrews, Brad Farnham, Bob
Miller and Thore Meyer.
The purpose of the meeting was:
* I. To see a demonstration of the computer system being considered.
* 2. Discuss a general developer's agreement that will be used for all
future development.
* 3. Discuss the progress being made on the industrial park (or lack
_ there of).
4. Discuss the charges being established (water and sewer connection
charges).
5. Discuss the issue of planning.
Mr. Brian Frederickson of Quest Computer Systems was present and gave a brief
overview of the utility billing package that the City is thinking about
purchasing. Brian walked the Council members through the different things
the computer and program are capable of doing.
There was some general discussion about the system. Brian agreed to leave
the purchase agreement for the Council to consider at the next regular meeting.
No action was taken on the issue.
The next issue discussed was that of Longevity City, U.S.A., Inc. and what has
been happening with this proposal. The Council was brought up to date on
what has been happening with the industrial park.
Brad informed the Council that he has been in regular contact with Mr. Singer
and had requested a list of references, both personal and business related.
It was agreed that the City would request that Longevity City, U.S.A., Inc.
Put together a document describing the project, time frames, project team
participants, references and an agreement to escrow monies up front for the
cost incurred by the City.

SPECIAL WORK MEETING
PAGE 2
If the group is really interested in the Albertville area, this will receive
a positive response; if not, it would mostly mean that the project would
not go forward. If this was to occur, it was the feeling of those present
that a letter should go to the State Department of Trade and Economic Development
expressing the City's displeasure in the initial phase of this project.
In addition, there was some discussion regarding the fact that Jim Willequette
may have another developer who is interested in doing work in Albertville.
No action was taken on this matter.
It was also suggested that the City might be interested in looking at the
possibility of a media blitz to see if we could get some companies interested
in relocating to Albertville.
It was suggested that the City might consider placing ads in the League of
Minnesota Cities maqazine, developers' magazines or the Star and Tribune
stating Albertville is interested in new industrial development and would
be willing to assist in the development. It was suggested that this would put
Albertville on the map.
The group next discussed the use of development agreements. It was pointed
out that the City needs to use these agreements for all development, but
that staff has not reached agreement on how detailed the developer's agree-
ment needs to be. The Council was informed that staff had met with the Darkenwald
group earlier in the day and had walked through the issues set forth in the
agreement. It was agreed that the agreement should be gone through by the
Council and the issues of concern pointed out.
After a great deal of discussion, it was decided that the City should look
at agreements drawn up for other communities. The list included the following
cities:
Elk River
Buffalo
Delano
Rockford
Monticello
Waite Park
Prior Lake
Lakeville
Apple Valley
The purpose of reviewing these agreemnts is to see if the City is requiring
too much in terms of what other cities do. It was also discussed that Albertville
doesn't want to chase the small "local" developers away by requiring too
much.
It was decided that it was important that staff meet and discuss the issue
with the other developers to see what their reaction is regarding agreement.
After this meeting, staff will meet again with the Council to discuss the
findings.
The issue of charges were briefly discussed. It was pointed out that the
Darkenwald group showed a real negative response to the increases in the
charges because of the impact they have on the building permits. The Council
was told that the developers may walk out of the deal if the City could not
show some flexibility on these issues. It was also pointed out that this
issue really is influenced by what happens with regards to developers
agreement.
SPECIAL WORK MEETING

It was agreed that we would need to look at this issue in more detail once
all the other issues are resolved.
The last issue discussed was the possibility of hiring Northwest Consultants
to complete the Planning Oodinances, Subdivision Regulations and the
Comprehensive Plan. There was some discussion regarding the financing of
the project and it appears that a portion of it could be covered by local
administration proceeds in the current bond issues being discussed.
It was agreed that Maureen should contact the firm so that they could get
started on the work right away.
The next work meeting has been scheduled for March 30th at 7:00 p.m. at the
City Hall. There was no other business so the meeting broke up.
