VII. OTHER BUSINESS VIII. ADJOURNMENT COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER, 15,1990 The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Acting -Mayor Don Cornelius. Members present included Jim Krystosek, Donatus Vetsch, and Bob Braun. Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier was absent. Others present were Maureen Andrews, Thore Meyer, Bob Miller, Kevin Mealhouse, Ken Lindsay, and Jackie Peterson. The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the Council. A motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve the agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes for the October 1st meeting were reviewed by the Council. It was pointed out the word "certainly" in the 5th paragraph on page 8, should be changed to possibly. Donatus Vetsch made a motion to and seconded by Bob Braun to approve the minutes with the correction. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council first heard from Merlin Valerius. Mr. Valerius stated that he would like to start a composting site at his farm and would be interested in picking up leaves and grass clippings here in the City. He also noted that he would be willing to have people bring the material to his farm if the residents preferred that to a curbside pickup. He explained that with the increasing problem of sanitary landfills not excepting these materials anymore, there is a need for a composting program in our area. He explained to the Council that the County has issued to him a composting permit. This will allow him to collect composting materials for disposal. The Council was informed that the proper way of disposing of the materials is to spread it out over a large area of land. He said that he has a large enough field that he plans to use for this purpose. There was some question as to how long he would store the material before being disposed of. Merlin stated that with the permit, he must, properly dispose of the composting material before 21 days. 1 The Council then asked him how he planned to carry out the composting program. Merlin stated that he planned to do a curbside pickup every two weeks. He felt that maybe it should be on a Tuesday. He would charge the residents $1.00 per 50 pound bag, and collect the money at the time of pickup, so that the City would not be involved with the money collection. He also said that he would be willing to let the people bring their bags to his site for a fee of $.50 per 50 pound bag. There was some discussion regarding what, he would do with all of the empty leave bags. It was suggested that he could swap the empty bags for the full bags at the time of the pickup, therefore he would be recycling the plastic bags at the same time. The point was raised that the City already has two controlled burning days scheduled for the City's residents to bring their leaf and grass clippings to. It was decided that a flyer would be handed out, to the residents at that time, explaining Merlin's program to them and how to contact him for his service. Though no formal action was taken on the matter, there was a general consensus of the Council that the composting idea was a good idea. The Council stated that they were in full support of the project and would work with Mr. Valerius to see that, the program takes off. Hearing no further comments the Council then heard from the City Engineer, Thore Meyer. Thore updated the Council on the water drainage problem between Albertville and Frankfort Township. He said that a letter had been sent to Otsego informing them of the problem and that it was the feeling of the City of Albertville that they contributed water to the problem area and that they should participate in cost of the correction. Thore then said that he anticipates that Otsego will not accept our request. He then reviewed some of the possible alternatives for correction. He said that Frankfort Township is leaning towards the alternative of having the water routed back towards Albertville, and eliminating the existing 18" line which runs east through Frankfort to the river. This solution would require the City to do all the work associated with the project. It was noted that this solution could eliminate long term maintenance on the ditch area. In a related matter, it was noted that we that we are still waiting to hear from MN/DOT regarding the information relating to a Cooperative Agreement, for their participation in the project. Thore stated that it could takes up to 4-6 months to get through the MN/DOT process. Bob Braun asked if there should some kind of joint powers 2 agreement between the parties involved so that everyone understands the ground rules before the City gets involved with expenses associated with the project. Bob Miller agreed that a joint powers agreement would be required and could be prepared prior to the City's undertaking of the work. Regarding the project, Thore noted that the system would be designed to use the wetlands and a 12" line for storage and that, there was possibly a need for some type of control structure to be included as part of the project. It was further noted that because of the elevation of the existing culvert elevations across the freeway that a natural control would be established. It was pointed out, that in the event that all 40 acres, which is located in Otesgo, were eventually developed and completely paved, there would still enough capacity in the system not to cause flooding. Thore reminded the Council that Frankfort has agreed that they would be responsible for maintaining the area east of the platted areas know as Barthel's Rolling Hills and Green Acres Estate. No other action was taken on this matter. Thore next reminded the Council that the bid opening for the new maintenance building was set for Friday October 19th, at 10:00 A.M. He also advised the Council that quotes for the electrical, plumbing, and other miscellaneous work, would to be opened the following week. In a related matter regarding the Maintenance Building, Thore gave an update on the soil corrections project. He stated that the corrections have been completed and the site is ready for the footings. There was discussion for setting up a special meeting to award the bid. Maureen said that she would look at the schedule and notify the Council as to which day is available for the meeting. The Council then heard from Ken Lindsay, the Maintenance Superintendent. Ken told the Council that the Lions had donated $1.000.00 for the sod in the Four Season's Park. He suggested that we send the Lions a thank you card for their help. Ken then informed the Council that they had completed the first discharge of the ponds, and that it met all the limits and needed no treatment. He further added that, he will know by Wednesday when they can begin their last discharge. When this is completed, it will be the last, for the fall. Ken then told the Council that people continue drive on the dikes at the ponds. He said that the people have also been tearing down the "No Hunting" signs. Ken next brought up the issue of putting down some gravel on 3 50th Street, Maureen informed the Council that there had been several calls regarding the need for additional gravel on the street. It was noted that Frankfort was laying gravel on their portion of 50th Street and the residents were wondering if we had plans to do the same. The Council questioned whether or not the City should go to the expense of bringing additional gravel when there is consideration of blacktopping the road next year. At this time, Thore Meyer interjected that he is working on a feasibility report for 50th Street to determine what the cost of the improvement to the road will run. It was noted that at this time of the year there was not much the City can do regarding the reconstruction of the road. It was noted that there were some areas between the black magic that could use gravel. Thore pointed out that at least a couple loads should be put down in these areas and that the gravel would stay put at least until Spring. He also suggested the idea of using a scarfire blade to mix everything up. Jim Krystosek said that he knew of a place that has excellent Class 5 Gravel, He said that he could check into the rates. He thought that it would probably cost $35.00 for the trucking and $100.00 for a truck load. It was decided that the Council would wait to make any further decisions until Jim could some rates from different places. They also decided that Jim, Thore and Ken would take a drive down the road and select the places that needed the gravel the most. Thore also mentioned the 3 bids for the lowering of the manhole. He said that we have bids from Carlson Construction, Ohman's Blacktop, and Lindenfelser's. The breakdown of bids are as follows: OHMAN'S BLACKTOP $500.00 CARLSON CONSTRUCTION $325.00 LINDENFELSERS $200.00 It was noted that the Lindenfelser bid was for just the lowering of the manhole and no blacktopping. Ken mentioned to the Council that patching was needed on Lander Avenue. The Council decided that the construction crew that does the manhole repair, would be the best one to also do the repair for Lander Avenue. Jim Krystosek made a motion to accept the bid from Carlson for $325.00 for the manhole repair, and requested that Maureen check with them to see what the cost of doing the other repair would run. It was further stipulated that if the quote for the repairs on 4 Lander was $150.00 or less that the work should be scheduled at the same time. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Next the Council heard from Bob Miller, the City Attorney. He informed the Council that the Planning Commission recommended the approval of the conditional use permit for the expansion of the Lamp Post -In. He said they recommended it providing the two conditions: 1) The outside picnic tables would have to be eliminated because of the addition. 2) That as part of the Developer's Agreement that Ed Breun, owner of the Lamp Post In, agrees to participate in the cost of the installation of a City parking facility in the event that a need arises in the future. Bob said that the agreement should state that it would be at the Council's discretion as to when parking has become a problem, and it would also be their responsibility to decide when a new facility is necessary. He pointed out that the agreement would stay with the property and in the event the business was sold the new owner would be responsible for the same conditions. A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek to prepare a recordable document for the approval of the conditional use permit with the two conditions set forth. All were in favor and the motion carried. Bob informed the Council of the Wright County Truck Station #2 plat approval. The Council was informed that it was the Planning Commission's recommendation that the Council approve the Final Plat for the County Garage. It was further noted that a brief Developer's Agreement had been prepared between Wright County and the City of Albertville regarding the same. Hearing no other comments or questions, Bob Braun made a motion and Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion to approve the RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR WRIGHT COUNTY'S TRUCK STATION NO. 2 and authorized the Mayor and City Administrator to enter into the Developer's Agreement with Wright County. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council then briefly discussed the Fireman's Fun Night for Friday the 19th. The Jaycees were sponsoring the 3.2 beer for the event and needed an approval for a beer license. Jim Krystosek made a motion to approve the beer license. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Jaycees submitted an application to renew their gambling license. Bob Braun made a motion and Jim Krystosek seconded the 5 motion to adopt the RESOLUTION APPROVING PERMIT FOR STATE GAMBLING LICENSE FOR ALBERTVILLE AREA JAYCEES. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council then discussed briefly the Park Board vacancies. Maureen informed the Council that the vacancies for the Board needed to be filled before their regular meeting on Thursday evening. It was decided that the Council would look at the applications on Wednesday evening and appoint the two new board members at that time. The Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid. Jackie pointed out that the bill from Laderal Medical check #10970 should not have been included with the bills, and that Paul Heinen the Fire Chief said the firemen are paying for it. There was discussion regarding the Wright County Highway Department bill. Maureen said she would check on it. Donatus Vetsch made a motion to pay the bills, check numbers 110934-10979 excluding check #10970 to Laderal Medical. The motion was seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried. At that time Maureen pointed out to the Council an article that was printed in the Crow River news. It was in regards to a possible building moratorium in St, Michael until they complete the expansion of their waste water plant. She also noted that the City of St. Michael had been contacted regarding the possible connection of the new school to the St. Michael sewer system and what they would charge for connections. It was noted that St. Michael had suggested that connection and hookup charges would run $2,200.00 compared to the charges and formulas that the City of Albertville uses. It was suggested that Maureen contact the City of St. Michael to see were the request generate from and then inform the School's engineers that the City of Albertville's Sewer Ordinance does not allow for the crossing over into another governmental jurisdiction for the connection into their sewer system. No other action was taken on this matter. Donatus brought up the question of what is going to be done with the old building behind Hackenmueller's store. Kevin Mealhouse explained to the Council that he had been in contact with the owner regarding the building and that he had informed him of the violations to the building codes. He also stated that the owner wishes to build a new building, but he has not yet applied for a building permit. He said that he also informed the owner that the old building must be removed before a new one can be built. F The Council decided to direct Bob Miller to send the owner a notice which will include the specific ordinances that are in violation. Donatus then asked why the 2 lots by the Brager building had not been included in the recent mowing project. Maureen pointed out that since the weeds were cut at the time of Friendly City Days, they probably were not that tall at the time of the inspection. There was some discussion about the possibility of Contract Garbage Hauling for the City. It was pointed out that if the City contracts one sanitation company for the City, it would then eliminate all of the different trucks from other companies going down the street. It was noted that under the proposed plan there would only be one truck in the area so in a sense the consortium would work the same way as one company. This would then keep the level of disturbance down and the quantity of trucks using the residential streets to a minimum. The question of who would do the billing if we did contract for garbage pickup. After some discussion it was decided that Jim Krystosek would check with the various Sanitation Companies for rates and would report back at the next meeting. With no further discussion, Donatus Vetsch made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. 7 CITY OF ALBERTVILLE P. O. BOX 131 ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA 55301 PHONE: (612) 497-3384 COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 1, 1990 The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Mayor Cary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Jim Krystosek, Donatus Vetsch, Bob Braun. Council member Don Cornelius absent, Others present were Maureen Andrews, Thore Meyer, Ken Lindsay, Bob Miller, and Jackie Peterson. The agenda for the evening`s meeting was reviewed by the Council. A motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek to approve the evening's agenda. All were in favor and the motion carried. The minutes of the September 17, 1990 Council Meeting were reviewed by the Council. It was pointed out that the minutes showed the motion approving minutes was made and seconded both by Bob Braun. They should have reflected that the "motion was made by Bob Braun and seconded by Jim Krystosek. All were in favor and the motion carried." A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun to approve the minutes of September 17, 1990 with correction. All were in favor and the motion carried. The first item on the agenda was the holding of a public hearing for Delinquent Sewer Assessments and Weed Removal. Mayor Cary Schwenzfeier called the hearing to order. A motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Jim Krystosek to open the hearing. Maureen Andrews then informed the Council that a notice of the Public Hearing had been posted and printed. She then explained the list to be assessed included all delinquent sewer accounts and mowing charges through the 1st quarter billing of 1990, The totals were $4,923.34 for the sewers accounts and $2,480.00 for the weed elimination accounts. She also explained that 8% would be charged for interest would be included, and that after 14.5 months, the City will be able to recoup the charges. Make our City ........ Your City We invite Home, Industry, Business There was some discussion as to what can be done in the future for incentive to have people pay their sewer charges on a more timely basis. The idea of using a late fee charge was discussed. Maureen pointed out to the Council that the computer program that we are using has the capabilities of posting a late charge automatically. The Council decided that they would like to look into it. Hearing no further comments, a motion was made by Jim Krystosek and seconded by Bob Braun to close the public hearing. All were in favor and the motion carried. Bob Braun then made a motion to certify the assessments and charges to the County by the approval of the following resolution: RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR WEED ELIMINATION CHARGES AND FOR DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES (THROUGH FIRST QUARTER 1990) Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. The Council then heard from the Maintenance Department. Ken Lindsay gave a brief update on the completion of the Four Season's Park. He said that the sod is all in place and they will continue to water it. He then went on to discuss the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Council was informed that the Maintenance Department would begin discharging on Wednesday. He noted that the test result had come back indicated that no treatment would have to be done for the discharge. It was pointed out that the new pumping is working according to specifications and that its efficiency may be one of the reasons for the good results. In a related matter, the issue of the City`s application for sewer extension for Parksedge was discussed. The Council was informed that, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) was concerned about granting the permit for the 9 lot subdivision because of the problem the City had had in the spring regarding meeting limits at the time of discharging. MPCA has requested that, the City send them a letter regarding how we planned to deal with the problem prior to the granting the permit for the sewer line extension. At this time Thore Meyer gave the Council an overview of how the city would respond to the the PCA's request, and what, corrective measures the City of Albertville will be taking. He said that the letter had been written and the steps included in the letter are as follows: 1) To reduce any excessive flow into the ponds, a program of PAGE 2 sump pump removal, with enforcement, has been instituted by the City Council. 2) Trapping and seining the minnows from the ponds were started two weeks ago. To date, over 100 gallons of minnows have been removed. Trapping will continue until all are removed. 3) In the event trapping and seining do not remove all minnows, a DNR approved fish kill will be undertaken. 4) The ponds will be restocked with daphnia to keep the algae growth under control. 5) The City will be constructing a ramp in Cell No. 1 for alum application, creating an additional secondary pond to allow greater discharge flexibility and capacity at discharge periods. 6) A new transfer pump was installed this past summer to better transfer wastewater between the ponds without disturbing the solids which had settled at the bottom. Thore then said that the letter was ready and would be sent on Tuesday, October 2nd. With no further comment, from Thore on this issue, Ken then informed the Council that cars have been driving on the walkways in the Four Season's Park. He brought up the possibility of putting up some signs. There was discussion about putting a sign at the entrance of the walkways and positioning them in the center to help detour the cars from going up the paths. It was decided that there should be one placed at the entrance by the parking lot and two of them put up by the cul-de-sacs. Ken then reminded the Council about the manhole that needs to be repaired. He said that it, now extends 10 inches up from the ground level, and should be cut down to 4 inches before the winter snowplowing season begins. There was discussion about whether or not the City should require quotes from more than one party for undertaking the work. Bob Miller reviewed the State Statute pertaining to City initiated work and noted that if the cost of the repair work runs less than $15,000.00, the Statute say whenever feasible the City should obtain multiple quotes for the work. It was noted that Omann Brothers had submitted a quote for the job and the City had the option to get a quote from Burschville Construction, who was the low bidder for the Parksedge project and would be working in the City within the next month. PAGE 3 After some additional discussion, the Council decided to table the decision until there were at least two bids for the work. The Council then heard from Thore Meyer, the City Engineer. Thore reviewed the plans for the new Maintenance Building. He asked the Council what their feelings were regarding the plans. He reminded the Council that the bids will be coming in on Friday October 19th. There was some discussion regarding the installation of a shower in the restroom. It was noted that if a shower is to be installed during the initial construction it reeds to be handicapped accessible, by the means of not having a lip or ledge that needs to be stepped over. If plans are to install the shower at a later date, proper drainage should be incorporated to make it accessible at that time. There was also discussion regarding whether or not, the breakroom should be enclosed or left open into the shop. It is the Building Inspector's opinion that if there are plans that a wall is going to be installed at a later date that it could just as well be done at this time under this building project's permit instead of needing a new permit at a later date. After some discussion it was decided to remove the shower and reduce the size of the restroom and to leave out the wall in the breakroom. It was noted that by reducing the size of the restroom there would be additional space provided in the work area. There was some discussion about the exterior of the building. It was decided to install a real brick or stucco brick pattern up to the bottom of the windows. It was agreed that the finished area would begin on the west end of the building from the entrance of the building and would wrap around to the front and would extend to the east end of the building, stopping at the corner of the building since this will be the expansion wall of the building in the future. The next item on the agenda was the awarding of the bid for the Parksegde Subdivision. Thore informed the Council that, there were eight bids received for the project. The bids received included the following: Burschville Construction Randy Kramer Excavating B & D Underground Volk Sewer & Water, Inc. LaTour Construction Construction, Inc. Annandale Contracting, Inc. Buffalo, Bituminous, Inc. Hank Weidema Excavating, Inc. PAGE 4 $53,639.50 $59,811.20 $61,277.O0 $63,228.71 $63,825.30 $73,815.50 $76,559.00 $99,646.40 Thore noted that all bids were properly submitted by responsible contractors; therefore Meyer-Rohlin recommended the awardal of the Parksedge Utility and Street, Improvement contract to the low bidder, Burschville Construction, Hanover, Minnesota, in the amount of$58,639.50. It was noted that no contracts should be signed until the Development Agreement with the Albertville Industrial Development Company has been completed and the plat signed off on. Thore further noted that no construction work could be by Burschville Construction until the entire Parksedge Addition had been completely site graded. The Council was informed that the Developer's agreement is almost ready, noting that the City had been waiting for some additional information from the Developer to complete the agreement. A motion was made by Jim Krystosek approve the RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT FOR STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENT NO. 1990-1 to Burschville Construction pending the finalization of the Developer's Agreement and the signing of the plat. Donatus Vetsch seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried. Thore then updated the Council regarding the Frankfort Township water drainage problem. He said the he had met with Pete Raatikaa and they went over the proposed Feasibility Report, which Pete had prepared. The Council members were given copies of this report to review. Thore noted that the Frankfort Township Board was meeting that evening and that Pete would be presenting the report to them as well. The report defined that allocation of cost by areas effected, noting that 40 acres of Otesgo Township has not been included because Hakanson, Anderson & Associates, Inc. feel that, would have minimal impact on the project. The allocation of area used for the calculations are as follows: Drainage Subdistricts A B C D TOTAL Albertville 30.1 40.1 10.0 0 80.2 Frankfort 0 0 58.3 26.0 84.3 MN/DOT 0 13.4 24.8 0 38.2 Otsego 40.0 + ALLOCATION BY ALTERNATIVE Alternative A - 18" Drain System to Albertville Total Estimated Project Cost - $41,000.00 PAGE 5 Albertville 80.2 Acres 45.4% $18,614 Frankfort Township 58.3 Acres 33.0% $13,530 MN/DOT 38.2 Acres 21.6% $ 8,856 176.7 Acres $41,000 Alternative A - 12" Drain System to Albertville Total Estimated Project Cost - $33,900.00 Albertville 80.2 Acres 45.4% $15,391 Frankfort, Township 58.3 Acres 33.0% $11,187 MN/DOT 38.2 Acres 21.6% $ 7,322 176.7 Acres $33,900 Alternative B - 18" Drain System Via Freeway Ditch Total Estimated Project Cost - $62,000.00 Albertville 80.2 Acres 45.4% $28,148 Frankfort, Township 58.3 Acres 33.0% $20,460 MN/DOT 38.2 Acres 21.6% $13,392 176.7 Acres $62,000 Alternative C - Maintenance of Ditch & 18" Tile System Total Estimated Project Cost - $25,000.00 Albertville 80.2 Acres 39.6% $10,098 Frankfort Township 84.3 Acres 41.6% $10,608 MN/DOT 38.2 Acres 18.8% $ 4,794 176.7 Acres $25,500 Thore noted that according to Pete, the Town Board leans towards the Alternate "C", but with some changes. The Township Board members feel that they should follow the wishes of the farmers on ditch and not allow the the to be any larger 6 inches inches in diameter, noting that they do not want to be responsible for any ditch clean -out. There was discussion between the Council members and their feelings on the sizing of the tile. It was the Council"s feelings that the 6 inch line would never work because it is not large enough. It was noted that since the 18 inch line has been in and flowing for at least 50 years and there has not been a flooding problem that it should not be down sized at this time. PAGE 6 Thore then said that Pete Raatikaa prefers the 12 inch diameter line going through Albertville as stated in alternate "A" in the feasibility report. He said that MacKenzie Street is the break point for the water based on the elevation of the culvert at this location. It has been suggested that if this option is undertaken that the water laying west of MacKenzie and the Green Acres Estate and Barthel Rolling Hills would be brought back through Albertville and then out through the City's big storm sewer line and then Frankfort would take care of the drainage going east of MacKenzie and north of the two subdivisions. The issue of the 40 acres in Otsego was then discussed in more detail. It is the feeling of the City that Otsego is contributing one half the amount of water that the City of Albertville is and should be included in the project participation. It was noted that at this time the land is being used for a tree farm, but that with Otsego's new "City" status that there is a high potential for additional run off as development of these 40 acres occurs in the future and should therefore be included just as all the other effected property. Bob Miller said that legally there was no way to force Otsego to participate in the drainage correction costs. He suggested that Albertville contact Otsego and get them involved with the current water drainage problem, making them aware of the concerns about the future drainage problem. After some discussion about the concerns, Donatus Vetsch made a motion to direct Bob Miller to send Otsego a letter encouraging them to participate in resolving the problem, and to make them aware of our future concerns about water drainage. Bob Braun seconded the motion, all were in favor and the motion carried. In a related matter to the Maintenance Building, Donatus Vetsch asked if all the trees were going to be cleared off the new building site, It was a general feeling of the Council and staff that the City try to save as many trees as possible because of their size and the fact that it will be a cost saving when it comes time to landscape. Thore stated that at this time it is hard to determine how many trees will be able to be saved because of the amount of dirt that the City will be dealing with on the site. The Council next heard from the City Attorney, Bob Miller. Bob reviewed with the Council a Developer's Agreement for the Wright County Truck Station No. 2, for the purchase of the land from Bob Heuring for the development of a berm along the west and north end of the property. Bob informed the Council that the County was in the process of platting the County Garage site, instead of processing through the PAGE 7 Administrative Subdivision process because of the length of the legal description. It was noted that the Planning Commission would be hearing the request on October llth and the Council would be taking action on October 15th. The Council then heard from Dr. Dirk Posthumus from St. Michael. He requested a donation from the City for a new Community Library in St. Michael. He said that it was Roy Simms' dream that this community library will pull the surrounding communities together. He pointed out that the majority of the programs funding comes from the Great River Regional Library, out of St. Cloud, which is a State funded project. The Roy Simms library is ranked number 8 out of 20 others far as the quality of service. Dirk then informed the Council that, the City of St. Michael is currently covering the monthly expenses, such as the rent for the space at $675.00 per month. There would also be electricity, heating, custodial, and other miscellaneous expenses to pay for. He then explained that the estimated cost to maintain the Library is $12,000.00 - $15,000.00 per year. So therefore they are asking Albertville and Frankfort Township to help make this dream of the communities to come together by donating $750.00 per year. The Council was receptive of the idea. Maureen explained to Dr. Posthumus that the Budget for 1991 has already been done and that the City has not set money aside for the library in 1991. But, we could certainly do it in the 1992 budget. She also said that we could keep the Library in mind if there would be some funds come available from special project, that would go back to the general fund. Then at that time the extra monies could be donated to the Library. The Council all agreed that this is a idea and will do as best they can this year for donations, and will considering budgeting for the library in 1992 and each year after. Dr. Posthumus then thanked the Council and was very pleased with Albertville's commitment to the Library. The Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid. Bob Braun made a motion and Jim Krystosek seconded the motion to pay the bills, check numbers 10892 - 10933. All were in favor and the motion carried. Maureen then presented to the Council Jackie Peterson's request for payment of her 43 hours of accumulated comprehensive time. The Council all agreed to pay it. A motion was made by Donatus Vetseh to pay for the comprehensive time. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.

BOX 131 ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA 55301 PHONE: (612) 497-3384 October 12, 1990 City of Otsego 13474 NE 95th Street Elk River, Minnesota 55330 RE: DRAINAGE PROBLEM -- C.OTJN'I'Y ROAD 37 AND INTERSTATE 94 AREA Honorable Chairman and Board Members: As you know there has been a drainage problem involving the area at C,�mty 37 and Interstate No. 94. Part of Otsego is within the drainage area and contributes surface water run. -off from 40 plus acres. You recently received a copy of a letter dated October 1, 1990 from Peter R. Raatikaa addressed to Frankfort Township. It is the position of the City of Albertville that as part of Otsego is within the concerned drainage area, it should in fairness contribute both to the planning and also the cost of alleviating the flooding. As to cost allocation it appears that Otsego should bear 13.2%, of the overall cost, which is their pro rates share of the drainage area. If Otsego does not participate in the cost, other affected governmental units must necessarily bear all the costs even though they are not the total contributors of the storm water. Also, while the contributing area is primarily not a nursery or tree farm, future commercial or industrial development would accelerate and increase runoff which would require some type of storm water drainage system to handle it. We believe it is in the interest of Otsego to be involved in the handling of the runoff of the drainage area now and in the future. May we hear from you shortly.
