Members present included Don Cornelius, Donatus Vetsch and Jim Krystosek. Councilmember Bob Braun was absent. Others present included Maureen Andrews, Thore Meyer, Bob Sullentrop and Lorie Villareal, The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the Council. A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to approve the agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes of the January 3rd meeting were reviewed. There were no corrections or additions so Don Cornelius made a motion to approve the minutes of January 3rd. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council first dealt with the appointment of the new Council member. A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch to appoint .Jim Krystosek to serve the remaining term of office of Councilman Gary Schwenzfeier; said term of office expiring the first business day of 1991. Don Cornelius seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Bob Sullentrop spent some time with the Council in reviewing the West Albertville Drainage Study, which was prepared by the City's engineers. The study evaluates the options that exist to deal with storm water drainage as the area develops in the future. The area involved in the study is the undeveloped land between County Roads 35 and 19, and a major portion of land west of 19. The zoning for the area includes agricultural, residential and commercial. The Council reviewed the information and then set a work meeting for Tuesday, January 24th to review the information further. Some of the questions the study reviews is how to handle water run-off in general, where to locate retention ponds if they are deemed necessary, and what levels of control are necessary to meet 50 year and 100 year flood requirements. Whatever type of control structures are planned will probably be phased in as the land develops. The drainage plan must be established before the area can be developed. The planning is part of the City's overall long-term Planning for drainage outlet throughout the entire City. The income received and the bills to be paid were reviewed next. Maureen pointed out that the amount on the PERA bill would be changed from $146.44 to $160.24 due to salary changes. Donatus asked about the fire contract money from Frankfort Township. It is a little higher than last year. The Patty Salzwedel and the MN Playground bills were questioned. After receiving adequate answers, Don Cornelius made a motion and Jim Krystosek seconded it to approve the income received and the bills to be paid. All were in favor and checks 9282 through 9317 were paid. The Council was informed that the League of Minnesota Cities' Seminar for Newly Elected Officials had been scheduled for Saturday, January 28th. The fee is $50. Jim Krystosek and Donatus Vetsch expressed interest in attending this seminar Pending their schedules. Maureen presented the Council an investments schedule which she and Brad Farnham, the City's financial advisor, had prepared for the Council's review. The schedule showed how Juran and Moody could invest the City's money through some "Super Fund" investments, which means that the moneys would receive a higher than market, interest rate on the money invested. It was pointed out that these moneys would be invested so that, they would mature under the $100,000, which means there does not need to be any additional pledge collateral. There was some discussion that the City should go ahead and invest if we can get 1; or 4% more in interest rates. It was pointed out however, that the City's local lending institution (Security State Bank) should also be given the option to invest the City's money. A motion was then made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Jim Krystosek to give Juran and Moody and Security State Bank the same option to invest the City's money pending interest rates. All were in favor the motion carried. -2- A resolution for facsimile signatures was quickly reviewed by the Council. This resolution would allow Gary to have a signature stamp for Mayor signature purposes, A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius to allow a signature stamp for mayor signature purposes. All were in favor and the motion carried. Maureen stated that, the personnel policy update will be followed up at the work meeting. Building permit information for 1988 was included in the packet for the Councils review. A summary of building permits for 1988 included: 25 new single family homes, one apartment building, one commercial building and nine billboard or on -premise signs; three accessory buildings, two fences, eight decks, two office or commercial additions and three miscellaneous permits. A Council was informed that pending the schedule prepared last summer for the $210,000.00 bond that the Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) needs to increased from $475 to $575, as the first of the year, Donatus Vetsch made the motion and .Jim Krystosek seconded it to increase the SAC charges from $475 to $575.

All were in The Council next heard discussion on a 40 feet area being used for commuter parking. Harry Weber called the County on this -3- piece of property to establish ownership. It seems this property was State owned right-of-way and was transferred to the County. The County Board says that a "quick claim deed" to that property was supposed to have been issued to the City in May of 1982 but it turns out that, the County never followed through. The County has expressed that the City has first claim to the property and it was the general consensus of the Council that the City should follow through with the "quick claim deed" to that property. Bob Miller will follow up on this matter at a later date. It was also agreed that the City should check with Bob Miller to see what would happen if we were to sell it. Ken''s overtime was discussed next. The Council agreed to pay Ken the amount of overtime necessary through the first of the year to bring his overtime hours back down to 25 hours. It was also brought to the Councils attention on whether or not Ken and Mike should take time off at the same time. The Council felt that it was not a problem providing that it does not become a habit. They both can be reached by pager if are immediate problem should arise. Friendly City Days was discussed next. Maureen and .Jim attended the meeting on January 16th. The Friendly City Days committee was told that the Council would be rotating positions in attending the meetings. Maureen gave a brief synopsis of the things discussed. Jim also commented. One item of interest that was talked about concerned the choices available for Grand Marshall and Honorary Grand Marshall. Herb Scherber and Don Berning are being considered for Grand Marshall and Howard Viking for Honary Grand Marshall. It was also pointed out that perhaps we should take the "City" out of Friendly City Days and just call the celebration Albertville Friendly Days. The next Friendly City Days meeting will be Monday, January 30th at 7:30 p.m. The City Hall has a humidity problem. The air is extremely dry. Don Cornelius offered to let the City use a humidifier that he is not using. The issue of the trees by the Menzel property was brought up again.

Ken will be asked to check with Loren to see if he still wants the trees. -4- The compilation of statements and schedules for the months of November and December 1988 were included in the Council packet for review.
