ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
October 21, 1991
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, Mark Barthel and Donatus Vetsch, City Attorney Bill
Radzwill, Clerk Linda Houghton
Mayor Walsh called the regular meeting of the Albertville City
Council to order.
Councilman Vetsch asked that the discussion of the Wilfred
Barthel lot subdivision be removed from the consent agenda items.
Councilman Potter asked that approval of the October 7, 1991,
minutes be removed from the consent agenda items. Barthel made a
motion to approve the agenda as amended. Potter seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
The minutes of the October 7, 1991, public hearing were
approved on a motion by Barthel, seconded by Potter. All voted
aye.
The minutes of the October 7, 1991, meeting were amended to
show that the Council meeting time was 7:30 PM. Paragraph 5, Page
4 of the minutes will be clarified to state that the Albertville
Jaycees donated the money for the retaining wall in the Four
Seasons Park and the Albertville Lions donated the labor to install
the retaining wall. The amended minutes were approved on a motion
by Barthel, seconded by Potter. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Resolution Approving
Permit for State Gambling Licence for Albertville Area Jaycees.
Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the variance for a 1,008
square foot detached garage for Larry Heikes, as recommended by the
Planning & Zoning Commission with the following contingencies
recommended by P & Z: (1) The current attached garage must be
discontinued to be used as a garage within one year. ( 2 ) The
exterior finish of the new garage will be the same as the existing
house. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Wilfred Becker told the Council how he proposes to split his
parcel. It is the intention of the proposed buyer to install a
pump to connect his house to the sanitary sewer system. Councilman
Vetsch suggested that the Council consider having a small lift
station installed on 50th Street at the time that 50th Street is
improved. Attorney Radzwill advised the Council that an assessment
for a new lift station can only be made to those properties that
benefit. Since most of the homes are fairly new and have good
septic systems in place, there may be no way to prove additional
benefit to those homes. The Council tabled discussion of a
proposed lift station since there is not enough information
available for the Council to make a decision. Vetsch made a motion
to approve the lot division for Wilfred Becker as recommended by
the Planning & Zoning Commission. Barthel seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Potter made a motion to grant a variance to DJ's Total Home
Care Center to allow the placement of four 4' X 8' individual
business identification signs on the building, not to exceed 15%
of the total wall area as recommended by the Planning & Zoning
Commission. Barthel seconded the motion. Potter, Barthel, Walsh
and Vetsch voted aye. Berning abstained. The motion was passed.
The Council reviewed the Monthly Operation Report of
Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Maintenance Department
Report.
The Council reviewed the October 11, 1991, letter from John
C. Weicht requesting a sewer and water extension to the Albertville
Meadows apartment complex in the Westwind PUD area. The Council
discussed the October 17, 1991, letter from the Minnesota Pollution
Control (MPCA). Before more extensions are granted, the MPCA
requires that data be submitted to that agency detailing how the
City of Albertville plans to handle additional flowage into the
current system since it is approaching capacity. The engineer is
in the process of providing that data to the MPCA. Attorney
Radzwill explained that the developer can proceed at his own risk
and the Council can give him preliminary plat approval contingent
upon the MPCA granting the extension. However, Radzwill pointed
out that the Council should consider the extension necessary to
connect the new high school to the sanitary sewer system the number
one priority. The Council also should prioritize the future hook-
ons to the system. Radzwill suggested that a developer's plan or
a Council resolution be drafted for the Westwind Third Addition
project to protect both parties. Mayor Walsh tabled further
discussion of the Westwind Third Addition plat until the city
engineer is available. Walsh told the developers that the Council
will make a decision on the plat at the next Council meeting.
Walsh directed the engineer, the clerk, and the attorney to
meet and come up with a plan and a time schedule to present to MPCA
and to provide the Council with a recommendation in regards to the
water and sewer extension. to Westwind Third Addition.
Radzwill told the Council that the question of realigning the
school district boundaries must be addressed by mutual agreement
between the two school boards. The school districts must agree to
trade equal -valued properties to do the realignment.
The Council directed Radzwill to set a date with the Otsego
City Council to discuss both the school district boundaries and the
fire contract with the Fire Department. Radzwill told the Council
that the 1990 fire protection has been provided to Otsego and that
the payment should be forthcoming from Otsego.
Radzwill told the Council they should set a closed session to
discuss the City's financial position and fiscal strategies. The
Council set a closed session for October 30, 1991, at 8:00 PM to
discuss the fiscal issues. The Council also agreed to meet in a
separate closed session at 8:30 PM on October 30, 1991, to discuss
an employee issue. The clerk was directed to publish notice of the
closed hearings.
Assistant Attorney Mike Couri reviewed several items with the
Council. The City has a signed agreement with Hackenmueller's
stating that they agreed to pay 900 of the costs of the
improvements to the road in front of their building. The total
cost of the project was in excess of $10,000. Linda was directed
to contact Ed Hackenmueller to explain that the City will be
invoicing him for this improvement.
Couri recommended that the Council consider having an
appraisal done to appraise the property where the trunk sewer line
to service the high school will be installed to avoid problems with
the assessment of the costs. He advised that a second public
hearing on the trunk line be held after the appraisal is completed.
Potter made a motion directing Radzwill to contact Malcolm Watson
about doing the appraisal on the trunk sanitary sewer line
property. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Couri suggested that one of the Council contact Andy Savitski
concerning the reassessment of his Sunrise Commercial Park. Walsh
agreed to meet with Savitski.
Couri also pointed out that there are two areas that the City
must begin work on. The City ordinances need to be reorganized as
soon as possible. The attorney will be getting started on updating
the shoreland ordinances under the Shoreland Grant Agreement the
City has signed with the state.
Barthel made a motion to accept the Financial Statement for
the period October 1 through October 17, 1991, as presented.
Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council agreed to rent out City Hall at a $25 per day
rental fee. The prospective renter will also be required to
pay a $75 damage and cleaning deposit for the rental, which will
be returned if the building is left in good condition. The clerk
has been advised by the insurance agent that the renter must
provide the City with a certificate of insurance proving he has
host liability insurance to protect the City from any liability.
Barthel made a motion to approve payment of the bills (Check
#5581-5605). Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council tabled discussion on the Ron Becker water problems
until the November 41 1991, meeting.
The Council directed Linda to contact Mr. Vosika to advise him
that all proposals must first be directed to the Planning and
Zoning Commission before the Council will act.
Vetsch made a motion to adjourn at 10:10 PM. Potter seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
