BECAUSE OF THE MISS ALBERTVILLE STYLE SHOW. COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 5, 1989 The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Bob Braun, Don Cornelius, Donatus Vetsch and Jim Kr stosek. Others present included Maureen Andrews Lorie Villareal, Bob Miller, Thore Meyer, Bob Sullentrop, Bill Correll, Bob Merrill and Ken Lindsay. The agenda for the evening meeting was reviewed by the Council. Donatus Vetsch made a motion and Don Cornelius seconded it to approve the agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes of the May 15th meeting were reviewed by the Council. There were no corrections or additions so a motion was made by Don Cornelius to approve the minutes of May 15th. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Sgt. Bill Correll and Deputy Bob Merrill from the Wright County Sheriff's Department were present at the meeting to update the Council on the traffic survey done on 57th Street in the City of Albertville. De utyy Merrill reported that speed checks were done on June 1st, 2nd and 5th on the eastbound and westbound traffic. on 57th Street during the early morning hours and the late afternoc-)n hours of the work week. He found that there is no speed problem on this street - all speeds were under 30 m.p.h. and the average speed was 20-22 m.p.h. It would be the same effect on 55th Street. Deputy Merrill stated that putting in stoy signs would aggravate the problem and possibly create more prob ems. He said that the ^ residents should get use to the traffic on the through streets. Sergeant Correll pointed out that the average speed on Main Avenue is 33 m.p.h. The speed limit is 30 m.p.h. if not posted within the City unless there is not enough houses. For instance, just beyond the school on Main Avenue the speed zone is 40 m.p.h. He also stated that the State will not approve any 30 m.p.h. zone unless the City takes over. A 30 zone on short streets like Lake or Lannon may indeed look too fast. A stop sign tends to slow somebody down, creates a right-of-way situation and determines control. Yield signs on these streets will create more confusion. There was some discussion that, an inventory of signs within the City should be done. There could be a liability that signs may be posted in one area and not in others. A member of the Council also said that perhaps a little more exposure time will slow up the traffic. Deputy Merrill agreed to do some speed checks on 55th Street as a comparison. No further action was taken on this issue. The Council thanked Sergeant Correll and Deputy Merrill for their time before they left the meeting. The Council next heard a Joint Power's update. Joint Power's is going ahead with the clean up and maintenance on the well. The pump has been gone over and needs to be replaced. It will cost more to replace but, it is necessary. The Maintenance Department was heard from next. Ken reported that there was a sewer line plug up on Main Avenue the week of Memorial Day. The line was plugged good with paper ^ products - probably diapers. However, very little grease was found in the line. A member of the Council questioned why the City did not experience these kinds of problems for 15 to 20 years when the lines were flushed on an annual basis and now we have trouble 3 to 4 times a year. He was told that, flushing is not recommended anymore and that, there are two possible reasons that there are problems with the line the first being that the lines are more than likely getting pretty old and secondly tree lines are being more fully utilized. Ken next- raised his concern about the installation of trash containers along; Main Avenue and other potential areas. Ken brougght to the Council s attention that four years ago the Council said "I�o" to any kind of trash containers located within the City. It was felt that they would end up more of a nuisance than anything else. The containers would end up disappearing and people woud be using them for disposal of their own garbage. The City would still like to look into two permanent mount attractive containers to be positioned on Main Avenue. The opening could be kept, small enough to prevent large amounts of trash being stuffed into the containers. No other action was taken at this time. The Council was told that the ponds are ready for discharge. The alum percentage is at 1.58. The ponds will be treated on Tuesday and discharge will begin on Friday. Ken told the Council that someone has mowed down the 51st Street park area and now wants to bale what was cut down. It was also pointed out that the mustard weed is extremely bad in the park. Ken informed the Council that Mike Rutkowski had given him verbal notice of his resignation. Ken has requested the resignation be put, in writingg. Mike has been offered another job that pays more money and will rye leaving at the end of the week. Ken stated treat Mike is an excellent, worker and has excellent, quality in his work. That kind of quality is riot always found in employees. Ken would like to see Mike stay on and would like to request that the Council offer a counter offer. Mike has real mixed feelings about leaving this position but can't turn down the money on the job offered to him. In answer to this request, Ken was told that the money is not in the budget at this point and that, it would take a healthy, increase to get Mike to stay. Also, this same type of thing will only keep happening. More money can not be offered just because he is quitting.. Besides, it is not a good time of the year to uit. A member of the Council then pointed out that, if a raise for Mike is considered, an increase in Lorie`s salary must also be looked at. Discussion brought up the issue as to whether or not it would be feasible to allow Mike to take a leave of absence until August 1st to see if he likes this other position. Mike will also be willing to check the pumps on weekends until someone is hired full time. The representative from the MEED pro ram will be contacted. The position will have to be replaced for thge duration of the eighteen month agreement, or the City will lose the reimbursement. There will be no additional MEED money on the filling of this position. No further action was taken at this time until after Ken contacted Mike to see if he wanted to talk with the Council later that, evening. The Council then went on the Engineering Department. -2- Bob Sullentrop gave an update on pro ects. In Braun's Addition, Dennis Fehn will do the shaping of the Cass 5. The final tolerance before paving will be done next week as it has been too wet this week. In Savitski's project a lot of water is standing and not drying up the way it should. The tests on the pack did not work because it was way too wet and will have to be redone. If geotech is used (at $2.00 a square yard) it, will be at the City's expense. Latour has put down the Class 5 on the right turn lane but no tests for comparison have been done on the sub -base. It will have to be taken out, and redone if it does not pass test, requirements. Almost all of Westwind has now been paved with the second lift. Only a small portion is left, to do. Bob informed the Council that he has a pay request from Latour Constructs n for tre curb work done on Braun's Addition for 8,600.73. lion Cornelius mace a motion and Jim Krystosek seconded it to ap rove the pay request, for Latour Construction. All were in favor and the motion carried. Bob also informed the Council that he was withholding the pay request from Latour on }avitski's because the work is not done. A call for the Feasibility Report for water installation in the I-94 casin was made next. Bob Braun made a motion to order all in one report, Ne Feasibility Report for water installation in the I-94 casing and to make sewer and water available to the Swanson and Emma Krumble protects. Dori Cornelius seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. There will be two options in laying out the Park and Ride lot. It can either be laid out flush with the railroad or flush with County Road #37. Almost the same amount of cars will fit in each layout. The railroad layout is preferred as we would not have to touch the City sign. There will be the costs of posts and cable and Class 5. Jim Krystosek made a motion to order the Feasibility Report, for the Park and Ride lot. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Don Cornelius made a motion to approve the Resolution calling for the Public Hearing for Street Im rovements in Psyk's 4th Addition (1989-1) on June 28th at 7 p.m. Me hearing on Barthel's apartment building is also this same date).

An ad will be put in the Crow River News to run for two weeks asxin for full time help at a starting rate of $5.50 per hour. Ken will look for some part time help until someone full time is hired. Bob Miller then told the Council that a number of ordinances needed formal approval. -3- Don Cornelius made a motion to ap rove Ordinance 1989-7: AN ORDINANCE REGULATING EXCAVATIONS AND CONSTR JCTIONS ON PUBLIC LAND AND EASEMENTS, PROVIDING FOR PERMITS AND PROVIDING PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.

Because this date falls before the 4th of July holiday, it was agreed that the July 3rd meeting would be cancelled and rescheduled for 'July 11th at 7 p.m. It, is anticipated that this will be just a short meeting. The Council next heard from Steve Klitzka to announce the winner of the Name the Park contest and Park Board update, Steve told the Council that the name selected for the park was "Four Seasons Park" submitted by Carol n Lindsay. "Hillcrest" was also considered as a second :option, The Par Board did not feel that naming the park after a certain individual was appropriate. The prize of a1PJt� [J , . Savings Bond will be awarded during the Friendly City Days ce elbratioS n. Playground equipment needs to ordered as soon as possible. Steve will be talking to the Lion"s and the Jaycees to see if they will help with the funding of the equipment. The income received and the bills to be paid were reviewed by the Council.

A work meeting now needs to be scheduled to discuss contract garbage hauling in the City of Albertville. A meeting will need to be scheduled with the Fire Department, and appointment of a building committee task force done.

All were in favor and the motion carried. It was brought to the Counc i 1 ' s attention that it, would be good to establish a check list of who is responsible for what when it comes to inspecting site plans on single family homes and large dwellinggs such as a artment buildings. The building inspector always does trie checking bu., having a check list would indeed be helpful at times. There was an update on Friendly City Day s. Schumm`s Electric estimated the cost of the electrical work to be done at $946. This does not include NSP's costs which will bring the cost to well over a $1,P003 It was suggested that maybe a generator would be a better investment for the City to make at this time. We would have to make sure it is big enough and powerful enough for the needed power. It was the general consensus of the Council to proceed with checking into the costs of renting a generator for Friendly City Day's and then procuring it for the days necessary. The Wright County Sheriff's report for April was included in the packet for the Council s review. The compilation of statement and schedules for January and February were included in the packet for the Council"s review.
