COUNCIL MINUTES
DECEMBER 3, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called
to order by Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier. Members present included Jim
Krystosek, Bob Braun, Don Cornelius, and Donatus Vetsch. Others
present were Mayor -Elect Jim Walsh, Maureen Andrews, Bob Miller,
Ken Lindsay and Jackie Peterson.
The agenda for the evening's meeting was reviewed by the
Council. Maureen informed the Council of two additional items to
add to the agenda. The additional items included Ken Lindsay's
request to build a new storage shed. Maureen then explained that
Ken had not previously formally withdrawn his request, but rather
had requested that it had be removed from the agenda. The other
item was the dirty water complaints, probably caused by the
flooding of the hockey rink. A motion was made by Jim Krystosek
and seconded by Bob Braun to approved the agenda. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
The minutes for the November 19, Council meeting was reviewed
by the Council. Don Cornelius made a motion to approve the
minutes. Bob Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
The first item of discussion for the evening was hearing from
the Maintenance Department. Ken Lindsay explained to the Council
the two manholes from Fehn's to the Lift station, needed to be
raised. He explained that in the Spring it is to wet to get in to
the field, and in the Summer they can not get in because of the
crops in the field. Now that it is Fall, the ground is frozen and.
the crops are out. He says that he wants to haul some dirt in to
build a donut shaped berm around the edge of each manhole. This
way the water will not be permitted to fill in the manhole.
Eventually, he said we need to install 2-3 foot castings and mortar
to raise the manholes.
Ken then discussed the rusty water problem. He said that when
he was flooding the hockey rink he had noticed the rust. He
pointed out that there had been usage from that water line
throughout the Summer. He explained that he was only using a 1 1/2
inch diameter hose. He felt that it should not have cause to much
Make our City ........ Your City
We invite Home, Industry, Business
d::sturbance in the flow. of water from the water line. He also
pointed out that Joint Powers did not flush the lines this year,
and felt that this could be the reason for the rust. In a related
matter, Ken then informed the Council that the flooding of the
Hockey Rink was going well, and the water was holding.
Hearing no further comments from Ken, the Council then heard
from Bob Miller the City's Attorney. Thore Meyer the City's
Engineer was not present at the evening's meeting.
Bob explained that he had gone over the Snow and Ice Removal
Policy with Ken Lindsay. He suggested that the Council take the
policy and review it for the next meeting. He then said that, he
needed the City Council to direct him to draft a Formal Resolution.
He: said that he would have it ready for the Council to review at
the next Council Meeting.
Bob then explained that most Cities have already adopted some
type of Snow and Ice removal policy. He further explained what
ShOUld be included in the policy. He said that it should contain
a list of all equipment used in snow removal, and that there should
by a complaint policy included with it. He noted that all
complaints should be put in writing, and that the person's name
Should be taken before taking the complaint. He said he would get
the draft done by the next meeting so that the Council could
discuss it then.
The next issue Bob discussed with the Council was the final
version of the Administrator's contract. He suggested that the
Council take the copy of the document and review it before Gary
signed it.
Bob then said that the Attorney, representing Vern
Hackenmueller, had asked the City to adopt a resolution to extend
the Industrial Development Revenue Bond repayment for the
HeLckenmueller Grocery and Liquor Store.
He then explained that the extension just allows the bank to
restructure the payments so that the balloon payment which was
designed into the schedule could be ignored. Bob said that the
original Bond Council who had been involved with the issuing of the
Industrial Revenue Bonds had provided an opinion on the extension
of: the payment schedule, finding it to be an acceptable request.
Bob further noted that because these are Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds, the City did not have any "Full Faith
and Credit" attached to them and would therefore not impact the
City in any fashion, and that it would be alright to adopt a signed
resolution.
Hearing no other discussion on the matter, Bob Braun made a
motion to adopt a signed Resolution Approving the Extension of
E
The Maintenance Superintendent's position is currently $12.37
an hour with overtime pay. The proposed salary will be
$30,000.00 with overtime pay eliminated.
The Maintenance Worker's position is currently $8.00 and will
raise $.35 effective the 1st of January, and an additional
$.35 July 1st, 1991, for a total of $8.70.
The Secretary position is currently $7.50 and will raise $.25
effective the 1st of January and will increase the 1st of July
$.35, for a total of $8.10.
Don Cornelius made a motion to approve the 1991 Salary
increase for the City Positions. Jim Krystosek seconded the
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The next item the Council discussed was Ken Lindsay's request
to build a storage shed. Maureen informed the Council that she had
gone back into the minutes and discovered that Ken did not, formally
withdraw his request for a variance to build an oversized shed.
Ken then asked the Council if he down sized the building from
14' X 20' to a 14' X 16', and made the roof pitch the same as his
house, would they then approve his request? He added that if the
Council approved the new building, he would then remove all of his
other buildings.
Maureen pointed out to Ken that if he is granted a special
variance at this point in time, he may loose his right to have a
second driveway. The ordinance states that at any time a special
variance if given, any grandfathered in items may be asked to be
corrected at that time.
Ken pointed out that he needs the driveway to store his 90'
X 158' Motor Home on during the Summer season.
Maureen reminded the Council and Ken that the Hardship clause
needed to be proven, and has not been done as of yet. Ken then
said that he could he has had problems with water drainage.
Maureen said she would check with David Licht. She felt that
meLybe the drainage problem could be his proof of hardship. Attfat
point the Council decided to table any further discussion until
after the meeting with David Licht.
Maureen informed the Council that Thore had footprints of the
new Fire Station building, and that the Firemen were going to meet
to go over more of the specifications needed.
Hearing no further comments from the members of the Council,
Jim Krystosek made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Bob Braun

Payment for Hackenmuelle.r's Industrial Development Revenue Bonds.
Jim Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor and the
motion carried.
Bob then informed the Council he had met with Kevin Mealhouse
the Building Inspector regarding the Custom Canopy outside storage
problem. He said he had talked with Bill McPhail regarding the
problem. Bill had told Bob that he does not handle these types of
problems, he only handles criminal and traffic matters. He does
nct handle City problems. He did say that the City needs to send
a letter of the violation, then file a criminal complaint.
Don Cornelius then made a motion to send a letter to the
owners of Custom Canopy, and then file a criminal complaint. Bob
Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
Bob then brought up the issue of the Insurance Policy of 1991.
Bob had spoke to Arlan Middleton, the City's Insurance Agent
regarding the issue regarding the need to continue the extra
coverage for Public Officials "prior acts". Bob noted that he was
in agreement with Arlan's opinion that the City would not need to
continue this coverage since there was five years of coverage with
the additional coverage the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust is willing to provide to the City.
Bob then informed the Council that he would be meeting with
Loren Kohnen on Wednesday to go over the bills he had submitted to
the City. He said that he will report their findings back to the
Council at the next meeting.
The Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid.
Maureen said that the bill from St. Michael Insurance Agency should
not be paid until she had a chance to check into the matter.
Jim Krystosek asked if the Quarterlies had been done, since
he had not seen them on the list of bills to be paid yet. Maureen
said that they were being worked on and should be done shortly.
Jim then made a motion to pay the bills, check numbers 11079-
11115 excluding number 11091 to St Michael Insurance Agency, Bob
Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
The Council then discussed the approval of the 1991 salaries
for the City employees. Bob Miller informed the Council that the
personnel policy states that the salary increase must be approved
by Council before the 1st of the year. Maureen then reviewed the
wages with the Council. They were as follows:
The City Administrator's position will increase from
$30.000.00 to $35,000.00, effective January 1st 1991.

Policy
SNOW PLOWING AND ICE CONTROL POLICY
1. Determination of Need and Introduction:
The City of Albertville has determined that it is in the
best interest of the residents for the City to assume basic
responsibility for control of snow and ice on the streets under
the jurisdiction of the City. Appropriate snow and ice control
is necessary for emergency services as well as routine travel.
Providing this service in a cost-effective manner is a
discretionary decision of the City Council. The City will use
City employees, equipment and/or contract services as deemed
appropriate to provide this service. Therefore, this policy is
needed to provide direction for these operations and guidelines
for employees and residents based upon available resources.
The City of Albertville has approximately 1A C1'� miles
of streets under its jurisdiction. This policy is intended to
provide guidelines for snow and ice control operations for
streets under the City's jurisdiction. Some sidewalks are also
covered under this policy.
The City currently has the following equipment available for
implementation of this policy:
(a) 1973 Ford Truck Model 750 with reversible plow and wing
plow;
(b) Ford Tractor and Motor, Model 535, with loader and
detachable snow blower;
(c) 1989 Chevrolet 1-Ton Pick -Up, with reversible plow;
(d) 755 John Deere Compact Tractor with snow blower.
2. Commencement of Operations:
Snow plowing and/or ice control operations shall commence
under the direction of the Public Works Superintendent
("Superintendent"). The Superintendent will decide when to begin
snow or ice control operations. The criteria for that decision
are:
(a) Snow accumulation of 2 inches, with continual snow
fall, warrants commencement of plowing operations;
(b) Drifting of snow may warrant commencement of partial or
full operation, depending upon conditions.
(c) Icing of pavements may also warrant partial or full
operation depending upon extent and conditions.
-1-
(d) The Superintendent or his designated representative,
shall determine the time to start operations and the
extent of the operations.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve
the use of limited personnel and equipment. Consequently, snow
plowing operations will not generally be conducted for snow fall
of less than two inches.
3. SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS:
Operations will continue until all roads are passable.
Widening and clean-up of operations may continue immediately or
on the following working day depending upon conditions and
circumstances. Safety of the plow operators and the public is
important. Therefore, snow plowing operations may be terminated
after 10-12 hours to allow personnel adequate time for rest.
There may be instances where this is not possible depending on
:storm conditions and other circumstances. Operations may also be
:suspended during periods of limited or zero visibility. Any
decision to suspend operations shall be made by the
Superintendent and shall be based on the conditions of the storm.
4. PLOW ROUTES AND SEQUENCING.
There are City streets, public sidewalks (on Main Street
only), public parking lots and ice rinks under the City's
jurisdiction which are affected by this policy. Sidewalks on
Main Street maintained by City crews and sidewalks serving public
facilities shall be cleared by City forces after street routes
ZLre completed. City parking lots and ice rinks shall also be
cleared by City crews. However, they may be cleared in
conjunction with street routes or after street routes have been
completed.
The Superintendent has the responsibility of determining
plow routes and sequencing of operations, and shall from time to
time prepare a copy of such routes and sequencing and file a copy
in the City Administrator's office, after the plow route and
sequencing of operations plan has been approved by the City
Council. The Superintendent shall retain the latitude to adjust
:sequencing or route assignments based on storm conditions,
Equipment availability and/or other conditions warranting
changes.
5. LEVEL OF SERVICE:
The intent of this policy is to provide safe winter driving
conditions appropriate for the type of travel necessary on City
streets. The level of service described herein shall be
considered a guideline with the understanding that immediately
after a storm the level of service provided may be less than
described herein and may vary across the City depending on storm
conditions and other circumstances.
-2-
-- Streets shall be plowed and/or sanded to provide
intersection approaches and curves to be as safe as conditions
allow. Gravel and dirt road services shall be plowed to provide
a hard packed surface with sand and/or abrasives spread as
necessary for traction. A minimum of chemicals will be used to
achieve the conditions stated and to provide workable stock piles
and/or abrasives.
During light to normal snowfalls streets will be plowed full
voiidth as soon after the initial pass as possible. During heavier
:snowfalls the streets shall be plowed as wide as possible
initially and widened as the storm intensity lessens. After the
storm passes, clean up operations shall begin to clear
intersections and snow storage areas along corners and
boulevards. It is the City's intent to complete the initial
plowing and widening operations within twenty-four (24) hours of
cessation of the storm. Clean up operations should be complete
within twenty-four (24) hours for light snowfalls and within
seventy-two (72) hours for heavy snowfalls. Major blizzards may
require additional time.
6. PARKING RESTRICTIONS:
On -street parking is not compatible with efficient snow
plowing operations. Vehicles left parked on the street for
extended periods of time create problems for snow plows as well
as safety problems with packed snow and ice around the vehicle.
Ticketing and/or towing these vehicles may occur in conformance
with City ordinance. Additionally, after large accumulations of
snow the City may find it advisable to prescribe parking
restrictions to facilitate snow plowing and clean up operations.
7. PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Snow plowing and ice control operations can cause property
damage even under the best of circumstances and care on the part
of the operators. The major types of damages are to improvements
i.n the City right-of-way which extends approximately 11-1/2 to 17
feet beyond the curb location. The intent of the right-of-way is
to provide room for snow storage, utilities, boulevard trees,
sidewalks and other City uses. However, certain private
improvements such as mail boxes are required within this area.
Notwithstanding, mail boxes should be constructed sturdily enough
to withstand snow rolling off a plow or a wing. In all events,
boulevard sod damage, and damage resulting from snow is the
responsibility of the residents.
8. RESPONSIBILITY OF RESIDENTS:
Snow storms create numerous problems and inconveniences.
This policy has identified streets, sidewalks, parking lots and
ice rinks that the City will clear. The residents will also have
certain responsibilities. These include clearing their own
-3 -
:AO" . . .
driveways and private sidewalks, clearing areas for trash cans,
clearing around mailboxes and/or newspaper delivery tubes and
fire hydrants adjacent to their property. These areas should be
cleared without depositing any snow into the street. There also
must not be any large piles which obstruct vision of driveways or
walks. Trash cans must not be placed on the street surfaces.
Pipes and similar items should also not be placed in the areas
within the street surfaces or within the boulevard areas which
would come into contact with the snow plowing operations. The
City will not clear private drives or walks.
Snow plowing can cause additional snow to be deposited in
driveway approaches and around roadside obstacles. Operators are
instructed to attempt to minimize these instances, however, it is
not practical to eliminate this situation. Residents should be
aware that they may have to clear their driveways a second time
after their street has been plowed.
Residents should also be aware that snow plows frequently
will be operating in directions contrary to the normal flow of
traffic. Residents have responsibility to observe the
operational modes of the snow plow operators.
Complaints regarding snow and ice control or damage shall be
taken during normal working hours and handled in accordance with
the City's normal complaint procedure. It should be understood
that complaint responses are to ensure that the provisions of
this policy have been fulfilled and that all residents of the
City have been treated uniformly. It is the City's intention to
log all complaints and upgrade this policy as necessary in
consideration of the constraints of our resources. In the event
of people calling the Superintendent, he should make on -site
visits to the site indicated in the complaint if the complaint is
such that site visitation is indicated.

(MUNCIL MINUTES
NOVEMBER 19, 1990
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Gary Schwenafeier. Members present included Jim Krystosek, Bob Braun,
Don Cornelius, and Donatus Vetsch. Others present were Council Member -elect
Duane Berning, 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.
Maureen informed the Council of two additional items to add to the agenda. The
additional items included the Jaycees' request to install a banner cabinet and
the approval of Jackie Peterson's payment for accrued compensation time. A
motion was made by Bob Braun to approve the agenda. Don Cornelius seconded the
motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The minutes for the November 5th Council meeting was reviewed by the
Council. Donatus Vetsch asked what the status was regarding the bill received
by Saxon for the repair of the Chevy pickup. Jim Krystosek said he will be
giving them a call for an explanation. Donatus then asked about the Frankfort
Township bill for gravel. Maureen said she had not yet had the chance to
contact them, but will in the next couple of days.
Donatus Vetsch then made a motion to approve the minutes. Jim Krystosek
seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The first item of discussion for the evening was hearing from the
Maintenance Department. Ken Lindsay explained the Council that Mike Rutkowski
had completed the written test for his class B license, but now needs to
complete the driving portion. He stated that we either need to borrow or rent
a truck for him to use, do to the fact that the truck the City owns does not
qualify for him to use. Jim Krystosek mentioned that he knew of a person in
Golden Valley that rents out his trucks. After some discussion it was decided
that we would ask Dave Vetsch of Vetsch Cabinets if we could use one of his
trucks. Donatus said he would check into it.
Ken then reminded the Council that we need to put in writing the City's
snow removal policy. He said that it is a requirement he had learned of when
he attended the Street Maintenance workshop earlier this fall. He pointed out
that it is a good idea for the City to do so, since the liability of damage or
injury to persons during the snow removal, would fall on the City. It would
then leave the City susceptible to a lawsuit.
Make our City........ Your City
We invite Home, Industry, Business
Bob Miller then said that he does have some policies from other Cities
that he could revise for the City of Albertville.
Ken then brought up needing the authorization from the Council to check
for misuse of sump -pumps in residents homes. At that point Gary Schwenzfeier
asked Bob if it were legal to go into the residents home to check. Bob said
that it is legal as long as the resident allows them to come in. But if they
refuse to let the inspector in, then legally they can not. At that time the
City would have to obtain a Probable Cause Search Warrant.
After some discussion, the Council"decided to keep a record of who would
not allow the inspection to take place. If the City believes that they are
illegally using a sump -pump, the City will take action at that time to get the
search warrants.
It was the general consensus of the Council that most persons in the City
do not realize that they can not run their water into the sewer system. So it
was decided that at the time of the initial inspections, the inspector would
bring along a letter of explanation to give the residents. The Council felt
that if properly handled, most people would allow the inspector in to explain
and show the persons how to properly run their drainage pipes.
The Council then discussed when would be a good time to do the initial
inspections. It was decided that Ken and Mike would go out one day during the
week, keeping a record of who was home and who was not. Then on another day,
they would go out on an evening or on a Saturday.
With no further discussion Ion Cornelius made a motion to have Bob Miller
draft a letter regarding the sump -pump regulations, then have Kevin Mealhouse,
Ken Lindsay and Mike Rutkowski hand them out as they do the inspections. Bob
Braun seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Ken then informed the Council that the raising of the manhole on County
Road 19 was complete.
He then explained that the Maintenance Crew is busy Preparing for the
Winter months. He then presented his list of projects that he has planned for
the next few months.
Hearing no further comments from the Maintenance Department, the Council
then heard from Thore Meyer, the City's Engineer.
Thore submitted an updated feasibility study for the construction of the
nine -ton streets in Savitski's Sunrise Commercial Park. He noted that the
sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer and gravel base construction was
completed with the 1988-7 Improvement Project. He said that this proposed
project would complete the nine -ton street construction requirements and would
consist of a levelling course of Class 5 base, concrete curb and gutter,
concrete driveway aprons, two-inch bituminous base course, two-inch bituminous
wearing course and the necessary black topsoil with sod/seeding.
2
He then described the costs involved as follows:
Street Construction $551150.00
Contingencies 2,760,00
Engineering 9,950.00
TOTAL
He noted that the above costs do not include the local legal and
administration, bonding and financing costs.
He also pointed out that the updated estimated costs were up 10/o more than
the study done two years ago. The reasons for this is primarily based on the
oil crisis and the increasing costs of oil.
He then said that the above project is feasible as proposed and would be
a benefit to the abutting properties. Some cost savings could be anticipated
if additional projects could be combined to make a larger, more attractive
project.
The Council briefly discussed the report. Bob Braun made a motion to
accept the feasibility study. Ion Cornelius seconded the motion. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
Maureen then informed the Council that she had received some complaints
again regarding the condition of 50th Street. They told her that when the last
gravel that was put down was very nice, but only for a short time. Since the
big trucks have been using the road, the gravel it is now gone and it is back
to the washboard effect, and very dusty again.
The Council then discussed the future plans for the road. The Council
asked Thore to reiterate what he felt would be the 1st phase of the
reconstruction of the road.
Thore stated that he felt that it would be conceivable to install the
1st lift of black top and that the sewer line to service some of those homes
could be installed at a later date, noting that they would not necessarily be
serviced off 50th Street.
There was discussion whether or not it should be done in phases or should
it be done as a completed 9 ton road, Maureen pointed out that the road has been
designated as a major arterial road.
The Council recognized the problem and decided that for the mean time, the
City will have Wayne White blade it down the next time it rains.
Thore then informed the Council that he had talked to Pete Rattika,
Engineer of Frankfort Township. He had told Thore that they were going to fill
in the drainage ditch within the next two weeks. Thore also said that MN/DOT
will not share in the cost of an 8" drainage pipe, that it is to small. They
will however share in the costs of a 12" line.
Thore said that he needed a copy of the Resolution to go ahead with the
next step, which is filling out the necessary forms provided by MN/DOT. He
3
would then send the forms to them and MN/DOT can then start the processing the
forms for approval, which will take approximately 18 weeks.
Thore then discussed the possible Fire Barn Building. He stated that he
had some rough estimates put.together. They were as follows_
50 X 90 building - (estimated by Olson Const.)
(would include 4 walls, roof, and floor.
Masonry Construction with 14 feet high
side walls, Pre -cast Roof and 4 doors)

Thore added that according to Jack Jarrard at Olson Concrete, pre -cast
wall are not economical unless they were 20' high, which would add an additional
$5,000.00 to $8,000.00 dollars to the cost of the project. He also stated that
the wall height should be increased to 16 or 18 feet if we were still
considering radiant heat. He said that the radiant heat could possibly blister
the roofs of the vehicles. For the additional height of 2 feet it would run
about another $4,000.00
4
He then stated that we should start getting quotes and drawings - put
together. All of these things take time, and in order to start construction in
the Spring we need to keep going on this project.
The Council asked Kevin.Mealhouse, the City's Building Inspector, if there
where any special requirements for plumbing pipe size, since it will be designed
as a Fire Barn. He stated there was not.
Thore asked the Council if they could put in writing the special
requirements the Fire Department needs. After some discussion the Council
decided to have a work meeting with Thore and a few of the Firemen to discuss
the specifics they will require.
The issue of how the
residents
of the City feel
about the cost of the new
building. There was some
discussion
about holding a
Referendum vote. Maureen
pointed out the additional
costs that
are involved in
setting it up, because it,
has to be done just like
a regular
election. There is the cost of hiring
election judges, ballots,
publishing
notices, etc.
The Council then decided
against it.
The possibility of the Lions and the Jaycees donating a portion of the
cost, and the firemen doing some of the finishing work on the inside, was
discussed as ways of holding the costs down.
The Council then decided the set up a Work Meeting for Tuesday the 27th
with Thore and some of the Firemen to discuss the specifics of the building.
The Council then heard from Robert Miller the City Attorney. Bob discussed
the Ordinance pertaining to the Trash Enclosures. He said he had reviewed the
revised ordinance from David Licht. He stated that it seams to be satisfactory.
He reminded the Council that the Ordinance has been in effect since January 1st
of 1990, and that it only pertains to Commercial and Industrial properties, and
that the Ordinance did not state what types of materials were to be used. After
some discussion it was decided that the types of materials to be used would be
left up to Kevin Mealhouse the Building Inspector to approve.
There was concern by the Council as to the costs for the materials to
build the enclosures, in addition to the problems that may arise for the
Sanitation trucks in trying to empty the trash dumpsters.
After lengthy discussion Don Cornelius made a motion to adopt AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1988-12 FOR TRASH ENCLOSURES. Jim Krystosek seconded the
motion. At that point it could not be determined if there was a 4/5ths vote to
carry the motion, so a roll call was carried out. Jim Krystosek voted "Yea",
Donatus Vetsch voted "Nay", Don Cornelius voted "Yea", Bob Braun voted "Yea".
Since there was not a 4/5th vote, Mayor Gary Schwenzfeier had to cast the final
vote. Gary Schwenzfeier voted "Yea". The motion was carried and the amendment
was adopted.
The Council then discussed the City Administrator's Contract proposal.
The (council members all agreed on the revised contract except for the section
No. 7 TERMINATION AND RESIGNATION, section B, paragraph two, stating:
In the event of termination of the Administrator by the City, which
5
termination is without basis of items "just cause", the City agrees
to provide three months notice of termination and the Administrator
shall receive continued salary payments (including benefits in
subparagraph 5b through 5h, inclusive) as severance pay for a period
not to exceed six (6) month's salary (and benefits) at the time of
termination.
There was concern regarding the cost involved in continuing to pay the
salary and a new City Administrator's salary at the same time. Maureen stated
that she would agree to amending the contract to state that if the event that
situation being discussed would arise and she got a new Job that she would notify
the City and the severance payment would be discontinued at the time of her
starting a new job.
The next issue of concern was the length of the severance payment. Some
of the Council members felt that 6 months was to long of period to pay out
severance. It was pointed out by Maureen that her concern that if she was
relieved of her position without just cause that it could take several months
to find a new Job, because Administrators positions are not always open.
It was suggested that the Council would feel more comfortable with a longer
notice and not as much severance pay. Maureen stated that she still felt the
6 months was reasonable, but would be willing to consider a 4 month notice and
a 4 month severance clause.
Additional items discussed included the length of notice required to be
given by Maureen in the event that she would quit and the fact that the contract
serves as protection for the City as well as Maureen.
Regarding the first concern, it was noted that the contract stated two
month notice is required. It was the concern of some of the Council members
that if Maureen gave her notice during a critical time, such as budgeting the
City could find themselves shorthanded.
Maureen noted that if termination of the contract is done while there is
a good working relationship between herself and the Council that arrangements
could be made that she would do additional work for the City until a new
Administrator was brought on to replace her. Noting that in these cases, the
work is done under special consultant contract.
Duane Berning asked if in the event that the Administrator left, noting
that he was not referring to any particular instance, would the City be looking
at hiring an administrator with experience or would they be looking at someone
right out of school. Gary Schwenafeier stated that he felt that the City should
hire someone with experience because of the activities and the amount of work
the Administrator is required to do. Other members of the Council concernediwith
this opinion.
Regarding the second matter, Jim Krystosek stated that he felt that the
contract protected the City as well as Maureen, because of the fact that it lays
out the requirements of the Administrator, provides for notice of quitting as
well as a variety of other items.
In a related matter, it was pointed out to the Council that in the event
0
that they ever enter into another contract with a different Administrator they
will be looking at additional clauses being added, including but not limited to:
City covering the expenses of the Administrator's moving, longer severance,
additional vacation pay and added benefits, particularly if they look at hiring
someone with experience. Bob pointed out that these are common requests that
have to be negotiated in order to bring on someone from another city.
After a lengthy discussion the Maureen state that she would be willing to
settle for 4 months notice and four months severance pay. The Council was poled
on their opinion of the agreement. Bob Braun and Donatus Vetsch noted that they
still felt that four months severance was to long, while the other three members
were comfortable with the item.
Hearing no other discussion the Council acted on the severance clause of
the contract.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded Jim Krystosek to approve
the contract with the 4 month notice of termination and 4 months severance clause
and change regarding the termination of severance in the event that Maureen
would find employment during the severance period. A roll call vote was taken
on the matter.
The roll call vote went as follows: Bob Braun voted "Nay", Don Cornelius
voted "Yea", Donatus Vetsch voted "Nay" and Jim Krystosek voted "Yea". Because
of a tied vote, Gary Schwenzfeier was required to cast the deciding vote with
a "Yea" vote. The motion carried on a 3/2 decision of the Council.
The issue of the upkeep of outside storage of the old "Andy's Camper"
building was discussed. It was noted that Custom Canopy is currently using part
of the building and there is now a problem with outside storage and yard
maintenance.
Donatus Vetsch asked what the status was regarding having them clean up
their storage. Kevin Mealhouse explained to the Council that when the previous
owners had the property they had cleared it when it was sold it and that Custom
Canopy was now renting space in the building. The Council decided to have Kevin
meet with Bob Miller at the site. They would then go over what needed to be
corrected. Bob will then compose a letter to send to the owners informing the,
of what needed to be done to correct the situation.
The Council then reviewed the Income and Bills to be paid list. Maureen
then informed the Council that Jackie Peterson had 18.75 accumulated hours of
compensation time that she wished to be paid for. The Council agreed to pay her
for her time.
The Council then reviewed the final two billings from Metro West Inspection
Services, Inc. (Loren Kohnen). Kevin Mealhouse, Albertville's current Building
Inspector, pointed out some discrepancies in what was actually completed for
payment. The Council decided to hold payment until Kevin could review the permit
records, and present his finding at the next Council Meeting.
Donatus Vetsch then made a motion to pay the bills, check numbers 11028-
11078 including payment to Jackie Peterson for her compensation time. Jim
Krystosek seconded the motion. All were in favor and the motion carried.
7
Gary Schwenzfeier then brought up the issue of smoking in the City Hall
during work hours. He asked that the employees who wish to smoke, to please
limit their amount.
Maureen then brought up the Jaycees request for the construction of the
banner cabinet. She informed the Council that the Jaycees planned on attending
the next Council Meeting if nothing was to be done at this meeting. It was
brought up that the Council did plan on addressing the issue after the 1991
budget was complete, and for Maureen to inform them of their decision.
Hearing no further comments from members of the Council, Bob Braun made
a motion to adjourn the meeting. Don Cornelius seconded the motion. All were
in favor and the motion carried.
