The agenda was amended by the addition of approval of a 3.2 Liquor License for the Albertville Jaycees for July 17, 18, and 19. Vetsch made a motion to approve the amended agenda. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda was directed to post and publish notice that the agenda cut-off time for the City Council meetings is 5:00 PM the Wednesday preceding the regular Monday meeting. The joint drainage proposal between Albertville and Frankfort Township will be placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting. Councilman Barthel stated that in order to keep the Council meetings at a reasonable length, the Councilmen should see Linda before the meeting if they have specific questions on the financial statement, the bills or the follow-up sheet. Barthel made a motion to approve the follow-up sheets from the June 1 and June 15 meetings and directed Linda to include the action taken on each item listed on future follow-up sheets. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 15, 1992, meeting. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 23, 1992, public hearing on the 50th Street Improvement. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. George Yankoupe addressed the Council concerning the quotation Of Councilman Berning in the Crow River News regarding the Council's "bending over backwards for the apartments". Berning explained that he feels the City has to accommodate businesses and industries as well as concentrating on residential units. Potter made a motion to approve the final site plan for Andy Savitski's parcel in Sunrise Commercial Park. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Don Mischke, Chairman of the I.S.D. #885 School Board, questioned the Council about the charges the district paid for ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1992 Page 2 of 4 building permits for the new high school. The clerk has provided him with the breakdown of the costs, but he questioned why the school was charged approximately $10,000 for plan review fee. He also asked why there was a separate mechanical fee. He stated that was uncommon for this area. Building Inspector Kevin Mealhouse explained that the mechanical plans had not been submitted at the time the building permit was issued. Ordinarily the mechanical fee would be included on the building permit. The plan review and the permit fees are calculated using the 1979 building code structure. Mischke stated that the new high school could have connected to the St. Michael sewer system for about $23,000. He questioned the validity of the City ordinance that required the school to be connected to the Albertville system. Mischke indicated that the City has not deviated from its hard and fast rules to help the school district at all. He asked that the City provide him with a breakdown on where the building permit monies are used. Engineer Norm Gartner reviewed the revised Feasibility Study on the 1992-1 Project with the Council. The revised study shows estimated costs of $5,300. The Council was advised the easements are necessary before the project can be constructed, either through platting or securing easements from the property owners. Financing the project could be directly the property owners responsibility or the City could do the work and assess those property owners who benefit. Linda was directed to put together a report on the proposed subdivision of Jim Hennum's lot that the Planning and Zoning Commission denied. Gartner was directed to meet with the property owners to decide how to proceed. Gartner reported that the sanitary sewer extension to the new high school is virtually complete. The last testing will be done on Wednesday of this week. Restoration is nearly complete as well. Gartner advised the Council to review the information on the Local Government Unit for wetlands area that has been provided. The issue will be scheduled on the next Council agenda. Gartner reviewed his communications with Tom Holstrom of the MPCA. Gartner is in the process of doing bench scale testing that the PCA requires. Councilman Potter questioned whether the City would be wise to construct the new facility to accommodate 515,000 gallons per day. He does not want the City to be in the same "must do" situation again in a few years. Gartner will look into that option. Berning made a motion to cancel the preliminary budget meeting set for July 13 and set up a work meeting on the wastewater treatment facility and on the 50th Street Project for 6:00 PM on Monday, July 13th. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda was directed to contact Tom Holstrom of the MPCA and ask him to attend this work meeting. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1992 Page 3 of 4 Linda was asked to provide the Council with the operational costs of the wastewater plant for the July 13 work meeting. Linda and Norm Gartner will be meeting with a representative of Juran & Moody on Thursday morning to discuss financing the expansion. The Council agreed to send Mike Rutkowski to the Basic MPCA School to be held in Bemidji October 27-29. Registration for the course is $70.00. Ken asked the Council to consider blacktopping the driveway to the lift station by Sunrise Commercial Park when that street is improved. Thore will get cost estimates. Linda was directed to write a letter to the Wright County Parks Department advising them that the City is unable to participate in the County Bikeway Plan because of lack of funding. Couri recommended that the Council schedule a work meeting to discuss the amendments to the TIF districts before the public hearing on July 21. Mayor Walsh and Councilman Vetsch will meet with Linda and Couri on Thursday, July 9th to look at the TIF districts. The meeting will also address the counterproposal on the Westwind Commercial assessment issue. Couri explained that Thore has put together cost estimates of the improvements recommended in the Barthel Mini -Storage project. Linda was directed to provide Stan Barthel with those figures as soon as possible. Couri indicated that paperwork for bonding for the trunk sanitary sewer has been started. Based on Couri's recommendation, Potter made a motion to set a closed meeting to discuss financial matters allowed under the attorney/client privilege for 6:30 PM on Monday, July 20, 1992. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Council agreed to meet to discuss the 1993 preliminary budget immediately after the continuation of the public hearing on Wednesday, July 15th. The Council approved the recommendation of the Park Board to temporarily decrease the park rental fee from $25 per day to $10 per day until the park shelter is restored. Park Board Chairman Barb Creighton will provide the clerk with ^� information on the certification classes the Park Board recommends for the maintenance personnel. The Financial Statement for the period June 11-July 12 was ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1992 Page 4 of 4 approved on a motion by Barthel, seconded by Vetsch. All voted aye.

All voted aye. Linda was directed to meet with Fire Chief Rick Wacker and try to set up a meeting with the St. Michael Fire Department to discuss a possible joint department. Councilmen Walsh and Potter will represent the Albertville Council when a meeting date is established. Linda was directed to send a certified letter to the City of Otsego advising that effective upon proof of receipt of the letter, the Albertville Fire Department will be directed not to respond to emergencies, other than mutual aid situations, in the City of Otsego.

The agenda was amended under Community Forum by adding the following: (1) Paul Ederer - request the Council to consider vacation of a portion of 60th Street by the Eiden property (2) Arlan Middleton, the City's insurance agent (3) Mike Leary - Steffens' Meat Market Barthel made a motion to approve the amended agenda. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Potter made a motion that all items for discussion on the Council agenda must be scheduled by 5:00 PM the Wednesday preceding the Council meeting. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda was directed to include the follow-up sheet from the June 1st meeting in the next Council packet. Vetsch made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 28, 1992, work meeting. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. The minutes of the June 1, 1992, regular Council meeting were amended on Page 1, Paragraph 8 to read "Councilman Berning reported on a telephone conversation he had received from Karen Mason..." and on Page 3, Paragraph 5 to read "The Council decided to have Councilman Vetsch and Mayor Walsh meet with the attorney..." Vetsch made a motion to approve the minutes as amended. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to approve the minutes of the June 2, 1992, joint meeting with the Otsego City Council. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Paul Ederer presented a letter requesting that the City vacate a portion of 60th Street for the construction of a new bank building on the Eiden property. Ederer explained that the City would be given a permanent easement for the buried utilities. The Council suggested that Ederer consider applying for a variance of ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL June 15, 1992 Page 2 of 6 the setback requirements for the building instead of requesting the City to vacate the street. Ederer agreed to have the City contact the planner regarding the most workable option with which to proceed. The bank will be responsible for all costs associated with this project, assigned Project #1992-2. Mike Leary, representing Steffens' Meat Market, advised the Council that they have agreed to move their building as recommended by the City Engineer. They have also corrected 15 of the 16 items as required by the building inspector. They are unable to change the freezer door from an outward swing because the freezer is pressurized. Leary told the Council that a manhole must also be installed because the 6" force main has only a 1 1/2" stub, instead of a 2" stub. The manhole is necessary to house the grinder pump that must be used. Steffens requested that the City pay to have the manhole installed and Steffens Meat Market will be responsible for the electricity to the grinder pump and all maintenance of the manhole and grinder pump. The Council directed Linda to find out when the plumbing code changed requiring a 2" service stub vs. the 1 1/2" stub that exists. Mayor Walsh stated that the City cannot set a precedent of paying for an additional manhole to benefit one property owner. Councilman Berning suggested that the City could adjust the SAC charge for Steffens Meat Market. No action was taken by the Council pending further information. Arlan Middleton, the City's insurance agent, addressed the Council regarding the issue of whether the City carries adequate insurance to cover its buildings. Middleton explained that he is not a commercial appraiser and cannot advise the Council of the amount each structure should be insured for. He has received two quotes for an appraisal of the City property --GAB has quoted an appraisal at $1,850 and American Appraisal has quoted an appraisal at $4,800. The Council took no action on the quotes. Middleton also addressed the Council concerning a statement by Mayor Walsh that was quoted in the Crow River News about the insurance provided through Middleton's agency. Middleton stated that the statement created a bad reflection on his business. Middleton wanted to know why that statement did not appear in the minutes of the meeting and whether the statement was appropriate to be made at a public meeting, as it could be detrimental to someone's business. The Council agreed to table discussion of the street sign specifications until the next meeting. Berning made a motion to recommend that the Planning & Zoning Commission schedule a public hearing on the six ordinance changes they have recommended. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL June 15, 1992 Page 3 of 6 The Council directed the clerk to meet with the building inspector and the chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission to discuss items that will come before the Commission, prior to scheduling the item on the Commission's agenda. The applicant should be given an estimate of what the costs associated with getting approval of the project will be and the applicant must be willing to pay all City costs. All materials must be presented to the clerk and reviewed by other City staff if necessary before going to the Commission. Barthel made a motion directing the clerk to send those building permit holders who have been granted a variance with a specific time limit attached a letter 30-60 days in advance of the time expiration informing them of the pending expiration and stating that if the owner does not complete the conditions of the variance, the City will do so and certify the costs to the owner's taxes. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. Attorney Mike Couri presented the developer's agreement for the Barthel Mini -Storage buildings. He recommended that the City require the property owner to sign the developer's agreement. Stan Barthel stated that the street would be improved as the Planning and Zoning Commission has requested and as detailed in the developer's agreement. Couri explained that Barthels must apply for the following variances: (1) A variance to allow a gravel parking lot until the Council determines when the parking lot must be hard -surfaced (2) A variance from the landscaping requirements (3) A variance from the ordinance requiring a water service (4) A variance from the 80' required right-of-way The Planning Commission must set a public hearing for those variances. The city engineer should recommend surety amounts to be included in the developer's agreement. The Council decided to table approval of the developer's agreement until all information is provided. Couri recommended that the Planning & Zoning Commission consider the adoption of an Adult Use Ordinance when they consider the other ordinance changes. Couri reported that MNDOT office in Brainerd will consider funding for improving a Park & Ride upon written request from the City. Couri will provide the clerk with the address at which to apply for consideration. Linda will contact the City of Monticello regarding their funding for their Park & Ride area. Couri is in the process of negotiating new easements with Doug Psyk and Joint Powers for the trunk sewer line that was relocated ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL June 15, 1992 Page 4 of 6 through the property. The school has already signed their new easement. Linda has found an attorney general's opinion that a City Council member cannot serve on the Park Board. Couri recommended that no Council member be allowed to serve on the Park Board. Couri reported that he has found no statute stating that a Park Board member must be a resident and/or a property owner in the City. Councilman Potter made the following statement: "I, Michael Potter, hereby resign from the Park Board effective immediately." Potter will also tender a written resignation to the City Clerk. Berning made a motion to accept Potter's verbal resignation. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. PM. Councilman Barthel excused himself from the meeting at 10:10 Potter made a motion to appoint Marvin Vetsch and Pam Roden to the Park Board effective immediately. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Engineer Norm Gartner explained that the letter dated June 4, 1992, from Tom Holstrom of the MPCA, was only a cursory review of the plans and specs for the expansion to the wastewater treatment facility. None of the items Holstrom detailed are insurmountable, according to Gartner, and he will proceed to address each item. Gartner also reported that he had spoken to Juran & Moody, financial consultants for the City on financing the wastewater expansion. They are willing to give the City financial advice if they are asked. Vetsch made a motion to have Linda send Juran & Moody a letter requesting their assistance in planning the financing for the expansion. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Gartner reviewed the Feasibility Study for the 1992-1 Project for the Marx-Hennum storm sewer extension. The estimated cost of the project is $7,940. Bernard Marx indicated that the study proposes more than the property owners had requested or wanted. The Council directed Gartner to revise the Feasibility Study to include only what the property owners requested for the July 6th meeting. Doug Psyk requested that consideration of preliminary plat approval of his Sixth Addition be removed from the agenda and placed on the agenda for the July 6th meeting. Gartner addressed Councilman Barthel's request for a second ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL June 15, 1992 Page 5 of 6 opinion on the wastewater treatment facility expansion. He explained that Meyer-Rohlin has retained the services of JMM to assist in designing the facility. Gartner presented the resume of James A. Reynolds of JMM, who has consulted with Gartner in the design. Gartner told the Council that he is uncomfortable with the City getting a second opinion from an engineering firm in direct competition with Meyer-Rohlin. Vetsch made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for the period May 28-June 11 as presented. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to approve payment of the bills as presented (Check #'s 6468-6505 are voided --Check #'s 6506-6534 are approved) Linda will provide the Council with the corrected check numbers for reissue of voided check #'s 6487-6505.

The Council reviewed the complaint from Fire Chief Rick Wacker regarding the maintenance department's use of their equipment and records. The Council directed the clerk to inform the maintenance department to check with the Fire Chief if they need records or equipment. The Council discussed continued fire protection and medical calls to the City of Otsego. Berning made a motion to direct the Albertville Fire Department to cease responding to fire or medical calls in the City of Otsego, except on a mutual aid basis, effective July 6, 1992. Vetsch seconded the motion. aye. Mayor Walsh volunteered to draft a letter to thelCitytof Otsego explaining the City's position.

ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL June 15, 1992 Page 6 of 6 Councilman Potter asked Linda to prepare a comp time report on the employees for the next meeting. Potter made a motion to adjourn at 11:55 PM. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. James A. Walsh, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET IMPROVEMENT June 23, 1992 Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, City Clerk Linda Houghton, City Engineer Thore Meyer, City Attorney Bill Radzwill Mayor Walsh called the public hearing to order for the purpose of considering improving 50th Street NE. The clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing. City Engineer Thore Meyer reviewed the Feasibility Study prepared for the 50th Street Improvement. The study details a 36' curb to curb street built to a 9-ton standard. There is a striped bike path on either side of the street. Also included is a sidewalk on the north side of the street. Since a portion of the street lies in Frankfort Township, Albertville's share of the costs is $292,485. If the City opts to build a 7-ton street, $18,700 can be deducted from Albertville's share of the costs. If a 32' street is built, $11,000 could be deducted. Chuck Mason told the Council that he prefers a 7-tan street because it would hold down heavy traffic. A 7-ton street could be posted for no trucks. Mayor Walsh explained that all other City streets are 7-ton, curb to curb streets, with the exception of Barthel Industrial Drive. The abutting property owners were assessed for the total cost of the 7-ton street. Patti Moses asked how the City planned to assess the costs. Mayor Walsh answered that although the City has made no official determination on how to assess this improvement, all other streets are entirely assessed to the abutting properties. Moses stated it is possible that the benefit to the abutting properties could be less than the assessment if the 22 abutting properties are each assessed equally. Attorney Radzwill explained that he has recommended that the Council have an appraiser evaluate the benefit to the properties and add the cost of the appraisal to the project costs. Randy Lebsock asked what would happen if Frankfort Township does not go along with the improvement. Greg Vetsch, Frankfort Town Board Chairman, answered that the township would like the road paved and thinks the project will get approval this year. Frankfort has set a public hearing sometime in July to discuss this project. 50TH STREET PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 23, 1992 PAGE 2 OF 3 Moses asked the Council to discuss if the City can or will participate in the total costs. George Reiser lives on the corner of Lansing Avenue and 50th Street. He feels that since he has been assessed for the street in front of his house, he should not be assessed for 50th Street. Reiser stated that dust is a major problem on 50th Street. He questioned if the City could provide some sort of dust control if the street is not improved. Mark Haller asked if it would be possible to leave off the curb and gutter on the south side of the street. Thore answered that would not be advisable. Wilfred Becker stated that the runoff from 50th Street currently creates a washout on his property. Thore explained that with curb, gutter, and storm sewer that would not be a problem. Tessa Bridal stated that until the property owners know how much the assessment is on their property, they are unable to make a decision about the proposed improvement. She questioned what it would cost each property owner to have an appraisal done. Attorney Radzwill indicated that his best guess on appraisal costs would be $300-$500 per parcel. Tom Haller, who stated that he is a licensed appraiser and assessor, told the Council he feels that 50th Street is a unique street in that most of the lots are large and that improving 50th Street is a benefit to everyone in the City. He suggested the Council seriously consider picking up a portion of the costs for improving the street. As an appraiser, he feels that the benefit of an improved street would be between $4,000-$6,000 per lot. If the total cost of the project is assessed to the property owners, the assessment could be between $11,000-$13,000. Radzwill indicated that he would expect that an appraisal would indicate an assessment of $8,000-$9,000 to be reasonable. Karen Mason questioned what the alternatives to paving the street could be. Would the City consider dust control and additional gravel? Tom Hagerty, a Frankfort Town Board member, explained that the township is spending $.75 per lineal foot on an 18' roadtop for magnesium chloride. The chemical must be applied twice during the season. Gravel must be added before the chemical is applied. Wilfred Becker stated that the residents of 50th Street don't need the paved road as much as other people who use the road need the improvement. Dennis Fehn told the Council that, according to Frankfort Township's traffic counter, about 475 cars use 50th Street a day. Fehn indicated that 500 cars per day is the limit 50TH STREET PUBLIC HEARING JUNE 23, 1992 PAGE 3 OF 3 for a gravel street. Patti Moses told the Council that a $10,000-$15,000 street assessment could possibly price some of the residents out of their homes. Tom Haller explained that the City's Comprehensive Plan indicates that 50th Street is a collector street. He feels that as such, the City should be willing to contribute to the cost of the improvements. Mayor Walsh told the audience that though the current Comprehensive Plan does indeed show 50th Street as a collector street, it also shows other streets as collector streets. It is the Council's discretion to consider amending the Comprehensive Plan. Tessa Bridal expressed concerns about how chemical dust control would affect ground water. Tom Haller suggested that if 50th Street is not improved this year that the Council levy an amount in the 1993 budget to be set aside exclusively for 50th Street. Councilman Barthel left the meeting at 10:12 PM. The Council told the audience they would consider paying the difference between a 7-ton and a 9-ton street and may consider using the money spent on maintenance for an unpaved road to help. Potter made a motion to set a work meeting for the Council to review all options for 50th Street for June 30th at 7:00 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to continue this public hearing to July 15, 1992, at 7:00 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda Houghton, Clerk PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION JUNE 23, 1992 ALBERTVILLE CITY HALL 7:00 PM COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Tom Haller, LeRoy Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Secretary Ann Culley. ABSENT: Rick Bishop Chairman Haller called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. Berning made a motion to approve the agenda. The motion was seconded by Vetsch. All voted aye. A motion was made by Berning to approve the minutes of the June 9, 1992, meeting as submitted. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Andy Savitski presented his final building plan for Commission approval. The building will be 100' x 60' as opposed to 200' x 60' as was originally proposed. The Commission questioned how Savitski planned to finish the front of his building. Savitski stated that he intended to put man-made stone 4' high on the entire front. Berning questioned whether or not the Railroad had been contacted regarding replacement of the culvert in the drainage ditch by Savitski's property. Vetsch stated that he would check with Linda Houghton. Haller made a motion to recommend that the City Council approve Savitski's final building plan as submitted with 4' stone front. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Haller questioned whether Houghton had sent the plans for the Barthel Mini -Storage Facility to Licht for his recommendations. Culley stated that she was uncertain. Haller made a motion to schedule a public hearing to consider the necessary variances for Barthel's Mini -Storage facility subject to Zoning Administrator's receipt of all necessary information from Stan Barthel in a timely fashion. Public hearing is to be scheduled for July 14th. The motion was seconded by Vetsch. All voted aye. Haller made a motion to schedule a public hearing for 7:00 PM on July 14th for consideration of Savitski's Conditional Use Permit Application. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Berning stated that he would like clarification as to why the proposed Security Bank plans and their request for vacation of the street in front of their proposed site was taken directly to the City Council and did not go through the Planning Commission first, as is standard procedure. Culley stated that the Bank would have to go through the Planning Commission for final approval of their building and site plans. Berning stated that he still wanted to know why this was ever put before the Council without knowledge of the Planning Commission.

Only the 5th Addition is being developed now, with the 6th Addition to be added at such time that capacity in the wastewater treatment facility is available (the wastewater treatment plant expansion is currently under study). The area of the proposed 5th and 6th Additions and the abutting area to the west (up to County Road 19) have been farmed as cropland the past few years. The proposed Concept Plan provides for the development of a wetland/storm water detention basin, as shown by the red cross -hatched area, of approximately 1-3/4 acre in area. A controlled reduced flow discharge by storm sewer would be provided to the south and east into the existing DNR wetland No. 86-414W. Provision will be made for a sedimentation/settling basin before discharging into the wetland. As stated before, the Concept Plan is a general guide plan for Mr. Psyk, to be refined and adjusted as wetland retrictions are more clearly defined. It would appear that a great amount of land is available for mitigation as the wetland areas become more precisely Thore P. Meyer, Professional Engineer Robert Rohlin, Licensed Land Surveyor located and any infrigements become identified. It is our understanding that Wright County has accepted the LGU for all unincorporated areas within the County. However, at this time, the city of Albertville has not taken the role of L.G.U. for the city. If you need any additional information or have any questions, please contact me at 612-682-1781.

We have prepared a response to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's letter of June 4, 1992. a copy of which you should have received recently. It is our intent to contact Mr. Tom Holstrom at the MPCA and establish a meeting prior to your June 6, 1992 Council meeting. By doing so, we should have a feel for the MPCA's response to our preliminary design features, which they commented upon. In addition, we have begun work with James M. Montgomery to initiate the bench testing which would be required for Alternative 4, the Clarification Option. By initiating the bench testing, we will be able to get a handle on potential problems with sludge disposal within the wastewater ponds and also to get a handle on how much sludge would be generated for design purposes. It is anticipated that the bench testing would proceed for approximately a two-four week time period, depending on the initial test results. I would also like to provide a preliminary discussion on potential project financing for the Council to think about before the next Council meeting. First would be the use of the existing sewer availablity fund which currently amounts to about $350,000.00. If the City decides to finance the project themselves, odds are you will have an interest rate somewhere in the 5-7% range if you go out for a revenue bond. This is considerably higher that the approximately 3'-z% you would obtain through the State Revolving Loan Fund. It would be our suggestion that the Council utilize approximately $300,000 of the sewer fund to directly pay for the wastewater expansion project and therefore buy -down the amount you would be bonding for. Thore P. Meyer, Professional Engineer Robert Rohlin, Licensed Land Surveyor City of Albertville page 2 Secondly, the City has not instituted a raise to its sewer charges since the inception of the user charge system in 1985. If the City were to put a 250 per 1000 gallon increase on its user charges, assuming an average wastewater flow of 200,000 gallons per day over the next ten years, this would generate $182,500 which could be utilized to pay off the wastewater fund. If you were to increase this to 500 per 1000 gallons, you would be up around $365 ,000 in total revenue generated from this project. In addition, as development would occur within the city, you would also obtain their sewer availability charges. At this point in time, the apartment complex which is pending, would generate somewhere on the order of $90,000 in sewer availability charges for the city of Albertville, not to mention the developments which are currently pending such as Doug Pysk's and the Marx develop- ment. Each of these would have a substantial impact upon the availability to pay off this project. The final concern I would like to express to the Council is the project schedule. In the wastewater feasibility study, we identified a project schedule if the city of Albertville were to do its own financing. If you look carefully at the schedule, you'll find we are already beyond the date of some of the action items, such as authorization of the plans and specifications for the project. If the Council does delay its decision much further, there is the potential that we would not be able to initiate construction this fall and be in a position to complete construction early next spring. If this were to occur, the potential is there where builders such as the one who is proposing the apartment complex on the Westwind development, may back out of their agreement with the developers. This would cost the City approximately $90,000 in SAC charges and the loss of the tax revenue from these potential apartments. If the City were to proceed with the project shortly, the potential is there that we could receive MPCA approval for the necessary sewer extensions to these developments and, by the time they are constructed (approximately 9-10 months after they come in with a building permit) , we would have the new wastewater facility up and running. The above items are being provided as general information concerning the project status, and also as items to be considered prior to the next Council meeting, at which point in time they should be discussed. I contacted Jim Reynolds of James M. Montgomery to ask him to be present for the June 6th Council meeting and he does plan on attending.

It appears from our discussion that Mr. Holstrom is in concurrence with the design options we are proposing. As part of our design for the wastewater expansion, Mr. Holstrom would like to see the results of our bench scale testing concerning the sludge that is produced from the Clarification Option and how this will ultimately be disposed of in the ponds. As I noted previously, we have two options for the sludge handling within the facility. The first is to put it in a sludge holding pond, as currently indicated with Alternative No. 4. The second option would be to discharge the sludge back into the existing stabilization ponds and use them as our sludge holding ponds. The latter option is currently being examined as part of the bench testing which we have initiated. The second item Mr. Holstrom would like us to address, is to document within the design brief the reliability which we will be utilizing for each of the treatment processes. The design brief will be prepared and submitted as part of the Plans and Specifications phase. Based on my discussions with Mr. Holstrom, I do not believe that there is any outstanding issues as far as Alternative No. 4, the Clarification Option, which could inhibit its approval by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. As such, the only real issue outstanding is for the Council to make a decision on the alternative of choice and to authorize Plans and Specifications to be prepared. Thore P.

The existing 18" storm sewer shall be extended to the west approximately 150 feet, terminating in a manhole at the proposed rear lot line (see attached drawing). Plugged cut-outs shall be provided to the west and north for future possible extensions. The existing 12" RCP inlet lead currently located behind the curb on Lander Avenue shall be salvaged and revised at the manhole location as a temporary surface water inlet from the low area to the north. Ditching will be required from the low swale area at the southwest corner of the Marx lst Addition plat to this surface water inlet. The estimated cost of the project, including engineering fees, is $5300 .00 . The above project is feasible as proposed and will result in a benefit to the abutting properties. Cost savings could possibly be realized, however, if combined with another larger similar project. Again, we would point out that a subdivision plat may be required before any building permit could be issued.

ABSENT: Pam Roden and Mike Rutkowski, Maintenance Dept. Chairperson Creighton called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. The May 14, 1992 minutes were read and approved. Spencer made a motion to recommend that the City Council direct Mike Rutkowski to apply for and meet the requirements necessary to obtain a "Pesticide Applicator License/Certification" issued by the MN Dept, of Agriculture. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Board decided that the lights at the softball field need not be locked until such time as their misuse becomes a problem. Field Maintenance. It is the consensus of the Board that the field be dragged and chalked as late in the day as possible Preferably after three o'clock in the afternoon. Effective immediately the batter's box is to be chalked for every game. The field is to be put into playable condition using the new drag and hand raking where necessary. The Board feels that the use of the channel iron drag is not as constructive as the new drag, therefore, the Board recommends that the Maintenance Dept. cease to use the channel iron drag immediately. Creighton made a motion to recommend that Linda Houghton direct Rutkowski to reinstall the new home plate by removing the plate and filling the hollow inner core with sand and anchoring as was previously done. The purpose of filling the hollow inner core is to prevent any possible future injuries as a result of the instability of home plate in its present condition. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Board questioned the status of the electrical conduit in City Park. Creighton will follow-up with Houghton and report back. The Board questioned whether or not, the necessary repairs have been made to the ehalker. Creighton will follow-up with Rutkowski. The Board questioned why Maintenance Dept did not obtain 3 quotes for the lumber necessary to repair the bleachers in city park as directed at the May 14th meeting. Creighton will follow-up with Houghton. The board feels strongly that all future quotes/bids are to be presented on business letterhead, signed, and ` dated. The Board tabled any further discussion until proper bidding procedures are followed. The Board recommends that Houghton direct Rutkowski to inspect and perform needed repairs to the merry-go-round. The Board recommends that Houghton direct the Maintenance Dept to inspect the chokecherry trees at city park and determine what is the cause of the problem affecting them and take the necessary action to remedy the problem. It is the consensus of the Board that the city trees be treated as a valuable asset as they are costly to replace and as such require regular maintenance to insure their continued health. The Jaycees presented the Board with a preliminary proposal for the construction of a new expanded shelter at City Park. The Board was impressed with the project. Spencer made a motion to recommend that the City Council cooperate as fully as possible with the civic organizations in the consideration of this project. Creighton seconded the motion. All voted aye. The Board expressed its extreme dissatisfaction with the installation of the water fountain at Four Seasons Park. The Board is also concerned that as the water is presently connected to the fountain it leaves no other access to water for the filling of jugs etc. The Board recommends that Houghton direct the Maintenance Dept to connect the water in such a fashion as not to limit future access at the pump. The Board recommends that Houghton direct Rutkowski to meet with Creighton about the preparation of a pea gravel base to be installed around the fountain and pump area. The Board tabled any further discussion about the purchase of value boxes until it has more specific information and at least, two more written quotes. The Board recommends that Houghton direct Rutkowski to install concrete pads around the grills at Four Season. Creighton will Provide Rutkowski with specific written instruction prior to beginning the project. The meeting was adjourned. Barbara Creighton, Chairperson PARR BOARD MEETING MAY 14, 1992 ALBERTVILLE CITY HALL 7:00 PM PARK BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Barbara Creighton, Sharon Anderson, Dean Spencer, Ken Lindsey, and Julie McGrew of the Wright County Extension Office. ABSENT: Mike Potter. Chairperson Creighton called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM. Julie McGrew has examined the city grounds and gave her recommendations concerning aeration, fertilizer application, and seeding and/or sodding as follows: 1. Aeration: once is enough at the ballfield and is best done in the fall to prevent the spread of weeds. At Four Seasons the tough clay soil may need more work until the lawn becomes established. 2. Fertilization: agreed with Dean's advice to use slow release brands. 3. Seeding and/or sodding: our grounds have a heavy weed Problem especially at Four Seasons. The weeds must be controlled before a lawn can be properly established. She suggests working in small units to make the job more manageable. Any new seeding or sodding should not be done until the fall. She also cautioned the board to remember that chemical application should be done by Properly certified personnel. The Board requests that the city use the newsletter to remind residents of the city's ordinances concerning dogs in the parks. A commercial grade toilet was installed in the women's restroom at a cost of $275 by Sunrise Plumbing. Town and Country Fence, Inc provided the Board with a comprehensive estimate of repairs which should be made on the softball fence. The Board took no action at this time but will review the information again in the fall. The Board directed the Maintenance Dept. to tie up the fence by Friendly City Days. Lindsey is to provide the Board with cost estimates for boards and bolts to repair the wooden bleachers at the ballfield. He is to obtain 3 estimates including some from discount lumber yards. Lindsey is to purchase a lock for the lights at the field and to provide keys for himself, city hall, Marvin Vetsch, and Mark Barthel. Lindsey is to return the new homeplate just received and to reorder the plate with the wooden base. Spencer has provided the city with a water fountain for Four Seasons park. Maintenance Dept. is to install it as soon as possible. Tabled any discussion on the retaining wall and enclosure of the playgrounds at Four Seasons. The Board wishes to express gratitude to Sharon Anderson's girl scout troop for the flower bed installed at Four Seasons. Anderson updated the Board on Spring Fling activities. Tabled discussion of the information from the Safety and Loss Workshop which Creighton attended in March. Meeting was adjourned. Barbara Creighton, Chairperson TO: FROM: WRIGHT COUNTY PARKS DEPARTMENT PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING, ROUTE 1 BOX 97B. BUFFALO. MINNESOTA 55313 TELEPHONE (612) 682-3900 Wright County Board of Commissioners Bruce Thielen, Parks Administrator DATE: June 8, 1992 SUBJECT: County Bikeway Plan Proposal As directed the Parks Commission has put together a Bikeway Plan. Please understand that this is a tool for the County Board to use in transportation planning. Attached is the purpose, justifications and objectives, as well as the cities survey and the prioritized segments of thoso roads identified for paved shoulders/bikeways. PARKS • RESERVES • FORESTS • WAYSIDES • ACCESSES Wright County Board of Commissioners June 8, 1992 Page 2 PuMose In the interest of the public's health and safety and welfare, to provide for the addition of bicycle and pedestrian lanes to proposed and existing highways. The purpose of any plan would be to provide a bikeway system plan which addresses those specific needs while providing for an alternate method of transportation. Is there a need? Yes ... much of what is about to follow is taken from Mn/DOT's Comprehensive State Bicycle Plan". The facts will speak for themselves. life. Whether we know it or not bicycling is very much a part of Minnesota's leisure Did you know: 0 66% of all Minnesotans are bicyclists (bike one or more times a year). 0 The vast majority of these cyclists are adults. 0 63% of Minnesota adults are bicyclists, nearly twice the national average. 0 Bicycling is the most popular outdoor recreational activity in the state, next to walking. 0 Since 1983 bikeways have consistently been the most requested facility type, most recently by 61 % of Minnesotans. 0 Nearly half of all bicycling takes place in lieu of travel by other modes of transportation. 0 In a 1982 survey the Washington, D.C. based Partners for Livable Places found that environmental quality was biggest factor influencing corporate decisions as to where to locate headquarters offices. What are the benefits? 0 A more balanced transportation system, one with enhanced environmental, social, and health benefits. 0 Bicycling trips can and are substituted for car trips which can be translated into economic benefits, the lowering of air pollution, and decrease of oil imports. 0 In 1989 bicycling Minnesotans kept over 130 million pounds of pollution from the atmosphere. Safety? 0 The bicycle fatality rate per bicycle mile traveled in Minnesota is over three times as high as the state's automobile fatality rate. 0 The bicycle injury rate per mile traveled is over 41 times that of motorists... and climbing. 0 Minnesota has had the lowest automobile fatality rate per mile traveled in the nation; the bicycle fatality rate per capita in Minnesota ranks I Ith. 0 Nationwide, more children 14 and younger lose their lives as bicyclists and pedestrians than from any other accident type. 0 There were 10 reported bicycle accidents in 1991, and 12 in 1990 in Wright County. Wright County Board of Commissioners June 8, 1992 Page 3 Local interest? I have taken the liberty to send out a brief survey to the cities within the County. All of the responses received were very positive. Attached are the results of those surveys for your information. Possible Funding Sources? There are several, one, as you all know is to use State Aid funds. Typically the cost to pave a 8' shoulder is about $16,000 - $18,000 per mile. The State Department of Trade and Economic Development would also be a possible source, this may however cut into parks development, since the County can only have one Outdoor Recreation Grant at a time. Finally, the new Federal Highway Administrations new funding package as I am told does have a renewed interest in pedestrian travel. At this point in time the DNR trails and waterways, will be handling these funds relative to bike trails. Yet to be seen is whether or not these funds will reach the local governments. Objectives 1) To develop a Bikeway Plan that coordinates with all local, state and federal plans. 2) To put together a system that address today's needs and future needs of pedestrians and bicyclists. 3) Construct a Bikeway system that meets the design standards adopted by the Mn/DOT. 4) To provide an alternate method of transportation on public highway right-of-way. 5) Design bikeways based on travel needs, population centers served and local land uses. 6) To make sure all of the minor segments that are existing are worked into an over all bikeway system. oa W i J 4JIYZ O m W W N S W Z ZW Z t° < �i W= W W O r. d m W F W O X 3 F N ateYG < G J O t W ^a >u>iewcQz3=-z'+�r®X <Cw�+WFJ ZSm LQ < G u• W W ad W y ad < F } W W } < J W } N ^� 3 w J j < m U < y Z Z N V 3 N Z w v°i F O h y �+ Y 0 �_ luiF W < a� W J <�Ji < 3 S z = < 0 o mu 3 '� O W w i:w000 ° z o o ag s s z 3 J o << s � o - u; N Y F z o - > o H w = Z s z Z F ;_ <> F O < O z LLI Z W N > o m C W< eF NwI<uCZF�U Q eL U p m Y N V Y <LO Z V 3 O Z J GC < W J�^ <<.i �Z�3 <<DO�,,;s� U G t < aa°C_� <� o',� w°ct��z<< W tal> <wW p s (<. zu <� 3 W oza W �V N JX o 3 N F n U O a<.

At the Parks Board meeting held June 1, 1992, members unanimously passed a resolution stating that the Buffalo Parks Department would be willing to budget up to one-half the cost of a bicycle pathway within the City limits along County Road 34. Board members are very concerned about getting children to the new Recreation Area safely. We are going to put together a Park Master Plan for the City of Buffalo and a bicycle pathway will be one of the first major components of that plan. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact me. Yours truly, j Gary attson Publi orks Director kj CITY OF HANOVER 11250 - 5TH STREET N.E. HANOVER, MINNESOTA 55341 (612) 497-3777 June 3, 1992 Mr. Bruce Thielen Wright County Parks Department 3554 Braddock Avenue Buffalo, MN 55313 Dear Mr. Thielen: The City Council of Hanover discussed the proposed Wright County bike trail system at their meeting of June 2nd, 1992. After some discussion of the matter a motion was made and passed by the Council to be supportive of a system, and that when policies are put in place regarding funding of the bike trails the Council would like to see that all governmental entities are treated equal. Sincerely, Susan Vergin City Clerk slv Bruce Thielen Wright County Parks Dept Dear Sir: Recently I read in the Monticello Times that the Parks Dept is looking into creating bicycle paths in the county. I would like to request that consideration be given to paving the shoulders of County Rd 39 west of Monticello. The road receives a good deal of bicycle traffic routinely plus several marathon type rides pass by every summer. The recent rebuild of the highway would make this a relatively easy project to accomplish. The shoulders are quite wide already and could be easily blacktopped to accomidate this. There is a large population base in this area to support this project. I live on this route but don't do a lot of riding but I see a very dangerous situation when large marathon rides pass by and mingle with auto traffic. Consideration of this area would be appreciated.

Only the 5th Addition is being developed now, with the 6th Addition to be added at such time that capacity in the wastewater treatment facility is available (the wastewater treatment plant expansion is currently under study). The area of the proposed 5th and 6th Additions and the abutting area to the west (up to County Road 19) have been farmed as cropland the past few years. The proposed Concept Plan provides for the development of a wetland/storm water detention basin, as shown by the red cross -hatched area, of approximately 1-3/4 acre in area. A controlled reduced flow discharge by storm sewer would be provided to the south and east into the existing DNR wetland No. 86-414W. Provision will be made for a sedimentation/settling basin before discharging into the wetland. As stated before, the Concept Plan is a general guide plan for Mr. Psyk, to be refined and adjusted as wetland retrictions are more clearly defined. It would appear that a great amount of land is available for mitigation as the wetland areas become more precisely Thore P.

As the insurance agent for the City of Buffalo, our firm secured quotations from three appraisal firms for the valuation of a number of Buffalo's buildings. Two of the firms are the same as was mentioned in the news article. However, the firm selected by the City of Buffalo, based on it's excellent reputation and lower cost was Stevenson -Edwards. If You would care to pursue this further, please call our office, and I would be glad to put you in contact with this firm. If you have any concerns regarding our Agency, please contact Assistant City Administrator Laureen Bodin or City Administrator Mert Auger at Buffalo. Our firm has been the City's agent for some time, and I personally have handled their insurance and risk management needs for the last 5 years. Buffalo National provides a high level of professional service to the City. Some of our activities have included: 1) securing MVR's on all City employees annually 2) monitoring of Certiificates of Insurance 3) research into the effect of proposed ordinances on the City's exposures/liability and premiums 4) conducting a seminar for the City employees on Workers Compensation- how premiums are developed, how losses directly affect premiums 5) regular attendance at League loss control seminars 6) review of mutual aid agreements, 7) affect of proposed wellness program on WC, to name a few.
