ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 3, 1992
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor James Walsh, Councilmen Duane Berning, Mike
Potter, Donatus Vetsch and Mark Barthel, City Engineer Norm
Gartner, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton
Mayor Walsh called the regular meeting of the Albertville City
Council to order.
The agenda was amended by adding Check #6651 for reimbursement
of supplies for the park bleachers. Potter made a motion to
approve the agenda as amended. Berning seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Councilman Berning asked that Check #6632 and #6636 be removed
from the bills list. Both checks are in payment of Fire Department
expenses that Fire Chief Rick Wacker explained should not yet be
paid. Councilman Vetsch asked that Check #6645 be removed from the
bills list for discussion.
The Follow -Up Sheet from the July 20, 1992, meeting was
approved on a motion by Barthel, seconded by Potter. All voted
aye.
The minutes of the July 20, 1992, regular Council meeting were
amended on Page 3, Paragraph 2, as follows: "The Council also
concurred that Joint Powers should establish a payment plan to
repay each community the $57,000+ loaned before it continues with
plans to construct a new water tower. Barthel made a motion to
approve the minutes as amended. Potter seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
No one present asked to address the Council under Community
Forum.
Ken reported that Thore and Donatus have toured all city
streets to identify areas for repairs. The Council received a
letter dated July 31, 1992, from Thore regarding the repairs he
feels are necessary. Thore estimates that between 300'-400' of
curbs should be raised. A contractor in Maple Grove has given a
$4 per foot estimate for mud -jacking the curbs. Thore also
suggested that if the City maintenance personnel could rent a
roller, most of the repairs could be completed by the department
personnel. The Council directed Thore, Ken and Donatus to get an
accurate measurement of the number of feet of curb and to get costs
for renting a roller.
Ken reported that Wright County possibly has a couple of snow
plowing trucks available in the $12,000-$15,000 range. The City's
snow plow is a 1973 model and is not likely to last much longer.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 3, 1992
Page 2 of 5
Councilman Potter requested that the clerk put together
comparative figures on the cost of contracted snow plowing vs. the
City's cost to provide the service. The Council agreed to
authorize Councilman Vetsch and Barthel to go along with Ken to
look at what used snow plows are available and to get prices for
the next Council meeting.
The Council directed the maintenance department to clean up
and add fill as needed to the empty City -owned empty lot in order
that it may be maintained in compliance with ordinances.
Engineer Norm Gartner gave the Council a revised cost estimate
for upgrading the existing sewer mains (Project 1992-11-B) with the
addition of two blocks of 60th Street. The estimate for those two
additional blocks if $37,150. The total cost of the upgrading the
system is $285,150, which does not include the engineering fees,
bonding fees, or legal fees. Engineering fees would range from 10-
15% of the total construction. Legal and bonding fees could be as
much as $4,000. Gartner suggested that the City contact the County
Engineer to determine if the County could participate in the costs
of restoring Main Avenue. Gartner also suggested that the service
leads on the new sewer mains be extended, at least through Main
Street. A separate bid could be secured for that portion of the
project. The Council considered how to finance the project.
Potter feels that the money in the Sewer Fund should be used for
the project. Barthel agreed with Potter, but added that he
believes the City must maintain some reserves in the Sewer Fund.
Vetsch pointed out that some of the money in the Sewer Fund has
come from SAC fees rather than user charges. The Council agreed
to discuss financing this project at a special work meeting.
Vetsch made a motion directing Thore to proceed with plans and
specifications for the 1992-11-B Sewer Upgrade Improvement Project
with an alternate bid for the extension of service leads. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Gartner reviewed the Wetland Mitigation Plan and the Findings
of Fact for the Pysk's Fifth Addition with the Council. Deadline
for completion of the plan is January 1, 1994, unless the Council
grants an extension. Barthel made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION
1992-14 entitled RESOLUTION APPROVING THE WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
FOR PSYK'S FIFTH ADDITION. Vetsch seconded the motion. Councilman
Potter announced that he would abstain from voting on any issue
Psyk's Additions to avoid a possibility of conflict of interest.
Vetsch, Barthel, Berning and Walsh voted aye. Potter abstained.
The resolution was adopted.
.-• Gartner explained that Doug Psyk is asking for preliminary
plat approval of his 6th Addition because he needs to use the
excess soils from the 5th Addition to fill portions of the 6th
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 3, 1992
Page 3 of 5
Addition. Barthel made a motion to grant preliminary plat approval
for Psyk's 6th Addition, subject to all stipulations of the
Planning & Zoning Commission as detailed in the March 24, 1992,
minutes, and contingent upon MPCA approval of the extension of the
sewer mains. Vetsch seconded the motion. Barthel, Vetsch, and
Walsh voted aye. Berning voted no. Potter abstained from voting.
The motion carried. The feasibility study for Psyk's Fifth
Addition can now be started.
The Council reviewed Phil Morris' July 13, 1992, request for
the extension of sewer and water service north of I-94 to his
property. A feasibility study was prepared in 1989 on this
extension. The 1989 costs were around $159,000. Gartner will
review those figures for accuracy. The Council will consider the
revised numbers at a special work meeting to be set at a later
date.
Gartner reported that the bench test results have shown that
a sludge holding pond will not be necessary in the expansion of the
wastewater treatment facility being considered. The sludge will
be directed back into the ponds. A rock filter will not be
necessary either. The bench tests have shown that the savings in
alum treatment would not be great enough to justify the costs of
the rock filter. Gartner will prepare revised costs and will
update the schematics for the Council to consider at their special
work meeting.
City Attorney Mike Couri presented draft #2 of the Developer's
Agreement for Barthel Commercial Park. The current property owners
will need to sign the agreement at this time, but a condition has
been included in the draft that allows portions of the property to
be transferred to other family members. The park dedication fees
over $500 will be calculated and collected after the property is
assessed as commercial property. Stan Barthel told the Council
that he is not in agreement with the proposed developer's
agreement. The Council agreed to table the discussion until
agreement can be reached with Barthel.
Couri, Linda, Mayor Walsh and Patti Salzwedel, the City's
animal control officer, will meet with Ralph Ackerman and his
attorney on Thursday, August 6, 1992, at 5:30 PM in an attempt to
negotiate an agreement on Sunshine Kennels.
Couri explained that a tentative bond schedule to finance the
trunk sewer extension has been proposed. The bond totaling
$355,000 will be a 12 year special assessment bond. Couri
indicated that he is negotiating a 5.7% interest rate for the bond.
Doug Psyk has not yet agreed to sign the revised easement for the
trunk line on his property. If the City has to pay for Psyk's
easement, the other property owners will also have to be paid at
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 3,1992
Page 4 of 5
the same rate. This could increase the amount of the bond.
Councilman Vetsch questioned why the City was billed over 14
hours by Radzwill Law Office for a bonding proposal for the
expansion of the wastewater treatment plant. Couri agreed to check
with Radzwill on the billing practices and notify Linda of any
changes.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
the period July 17 - July 30 as presented. Potter seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to pay the bills (Check #6626-6651) with
the exception of Check #'s 6632, 6636, and 6645. Potter seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
The specifications are not completed for the addition to the
park shelter at this time. Linda advised the Council that the City
has received payment of the $171,014 claim from GAB.
The debris at the Custom Canopy property and the Rugged Road
property has not been removed. The Council directed Linda to
contact the property owners to inform them that the City will begin
clean-up on August 10, 1992, and all costs associated with he
clean-up will be assessed to the property owner.
The Council will discuss promoting Ann Culley to the position
of deputy clerk while they are working on the 1993 budget.
Barthel made a motion to approve the 3.2 Liquor License for
the Albertville Lions' Pork Chop Dinner on August 22, 1992, from
4:00 PM - 11:00 PM.
Linda was directed to attempt to enlist interest in
establishing an Economic Development Committee in the City.
Barthel made a motion to set a 10% penalty for late payments
of sewer and storm water billings to be applied 20 days after the
date of the bill. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Linda provided two quotations on appraisals of the parcels
along 50th Street. N. Craig Johnson, MAI quoted a cost of $8,000
for the 21 parcels. Watson Appraisal and Consultant Service quoted
a price of $5,500. The Council discussed having the appraisals
done at this time. Mayor Walsh indicated that he is not in favor
of having the appraisal done before the project is begun, because
�. of the precedent that would be set. Barthel made a motion to put
the appraisal proposals on hold until after the Council improves
50th Street. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
August 3, 1992
Page 5 of 5
The Council tabled the discussion on the request from Ed
Hackenmueller to install a street light on the Hack's property.
Linda will contact Buddy Dixon of the State Highway Department
to discuss how lights are placed on the freeway overpass.
Councilman Berning explained to the other members of the
Council that he had contacted another engineering firm to get a
second opinion on the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant
for his own information.
Barthel made a motion to conduct a special work session of the
Council on Monday, August 10, 1992, at 7:00 PM to discuss the 1992-
11-B sewer upgrade project, the wastewater treatment facility
expansion and preliminary figures on the bonding for the trunk
sewer line. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to cancel the special work meeting set
for August 4, 1992. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Councilman Potter explained that the Park Board has requested
that Mike Rutkowski attend the Park Board meetings, since the
Council has directed Rutkowski to spend sixteen hours per week in
the parks.
Barthel made a motion to adjourn at 10:20 PM. Potter seconded
the motion. All voted aye. A

Ken was authorized to purchase a used two -wheeled trailer for
$50 for the maintenance department. The trailer will be stored out
at the ponds when not in use.
Ken was directed to get a list, of all areas of the City where
there are dips in the streets and a cost estimate to repair the
areas.
Ken reported that the manhole that houses the flow meter at
the wastewater treatment plant is still leaking water. Thore
explained that he has been in contact with the contractor who
installed the manhole and the contractor will regrout the rings
around the casting in an attempt to seal the manhole. Thore also
recommended that a neoprime lid be placed on the manhole. The
current lid can be exchanged for the neoprime lid.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
July 20, 1992

Ken explained that he has been contacted by the director of
the Summer Youth Program regarding hiring a youth to work for the
City through the month of August. Linda explained that she has
spoken to the director of the program and the program pays the
youth directly and no funds are expended by the City. The City is
not under any obligation to retain or hire the youth at the end of
the program. The Council authorized Ken to proceed to procure a
youth under this program, but the youth will work exclusively in
the parks.
The Council reviewed the daily flows for the month of June.
It was noted that infiltration seems to be an on -going problem and
is apparent on the daily flows after a rainfall.
Building Inspector Kevin Mealhouse reported that John
Katchmark constructed a deck on his house in Westwind without a
permit. Kevin notified Katchmark that a building permit was
required. The permit was applied for and Kevin inspected the deck.
He found three minor items that required fixing and a letter was
sent to Katchmark detailing those items for correction. Katchmark
has indicated to Kevin that he will not correct the items and that
the City can tear off his deck. Mayor Walsh agreed to contact Mr.
Katchmark to discuss the situation.
Berning made a motion to approve the variance requests for the
Barthel Mini -Storage as recommended by the Planning & Zoning
Commission at their meeting on July 14, 1992. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Before the Council considered the Planning & Zoning
recommendation to approve the building plans for the City Park
shelter, Linda explained that a settlement of $17,014 has been
offered from the insurance adjuster's office to cover the fire
damages. Because the insurance company had had an appraisal done
on the park shelter after the fire, they claim that the building
was underinsured according to their determined appraised value.
The Council directed the clerk to accept the insurance settlement,
because to do anything else would cost the City additional money.
The clerk was directed to send GAB a letter detailing why the City
was accepting their settlement with prejudice and to send a copy of
the letter to Jowl Jamik at the League of Minnesota City offices.
The attorney advised the Council that the City can act as its
own general contractor when redoing the park shelter. Specs for
the building will be drawn up and reviewed by the Council. Barthel
made a motion to set a public hearing if a variance is needed for
the gravel parking lot for August 11. Potter seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Couri advised the Council he recommends that the clerk and the
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
July 20, 1992
Page 3 of 5
animal control officer contact Ralph Ackerman regarding conditions
he must meet in order to get a license for Sunshine Kennels.
The Council agreed that before they will sign a purchase
agreement for the Joint Powers Board the City must be assured that
the bond it holds for the Joint Powers Board comes before any other
bond that may be sold. The Council also concurred that Joint
Powers should repay each community the $57,000+ loaned before it
continues with plans to construct a new water tower.
Mayor Walsh reported that he, Councilman Vetsch, the city
attorney and the city clerk had met in committee to determine if a
counter proposal should be made to the owners of the Westwind
Commercial property regarding the assessment on that property. The
committee found that four years have passed since the property
should rightly have been assessed and that the assessment is fair,
no counter proposal should be made. Barthel made a motion to set
a public hearing for the assessment of the Westwind Commercial
property on the same date as the public hearing to assess the trunk
sewer line is held, the date not set at this time. Potter seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Thore explained that the trunk sewer line is completed with
the exception of minor restorations. The Council has been
requested to allow the new high school and Don's Bus Garage to
connect to the trunk line at this time. Thore told the Council
that even though not all easements have been secured, he could
recommend that the Council approve the hook-ups at this time.
Potter made a motion to grant the request from the new high school
and Don's Bus Garage to connect to the trunk sewer line at this
time. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council took no action to proceed with the proposal to
blacktop the driveway at the lift station by Sunrise Commercial
Park.
Thore explained that a formula had been suggested to share the
cost for the estimated $6,000 in easement work and $10,000 in
ditch cleaning between the City and Frankfort Township based on
total acreage and evaluation. At this time, Linda has prepared an
evaluation report for the areas draining from the City through
Frankfort, but Frankfort Township has not yet prepared their
evaluation report. Albertville's evaluation is nearly double what
Thore had predicted, which will change the results of the formula
used to distribute costs between the two communities. Councilmen
Vetsch and Berning will be meeting on Wednesday with two
representatives of the Town Board to continue the discussion.
Thore reviewed the Wetland Conservation. Act of 1991 with the
Council. The interim program is in effect f rom now until July 1,
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
July 20, 1992
Page 4 of 5
1993, Wright County has agreed to be the Local Government Unit
(LGU) for the townships but will not serve as the LGU for cities.
Barthel made a motion to adopt Resolution 1992-13 entitled A
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE INTERIM PROGRAM OF THE WETLAND CONSERVATION
ACT OF 1991, TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE AS THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
the period .July 2 - July 17, 1992, as presented. Berning seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Potter asked that Check #6603 (Gruys, Borden, Carlson) be held
until the auditors can explain why the charge for the 1992 audit
was higher than projected, when they have told the Council that the
audit was easier and more efficient this year than ever before.
Vetsch made a motion to pay the bills (Check #'s 6589 - 6619) with
the exception of Check #6603. Berning seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
The Council directed Linda to notify John Gries, attorney for
Steve Birkeland of Custom Canopy, that a building permit must be
applied for before July 31, 1992, or the City will initiate a clean
up of the construction materials on the property near Hack's.
The Council directed the maintenance department to remove the
Weeds from the City's lot on Barthel Industrial Drive.
Linda has contacted NSP about getting a warning siren for the
area by the Westwind development which is within ten miles of the
nuclear power plant in Monticello. Linda will meet with Greg
Berning, the City's civil defense director to discuss the next
steps to be taken.
Barthel made a motion to postpone the work meeting to discuss
the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant from July 21 to
August 4. Berning seconded the motion. Vetsch, Barthel, Berning
and Potter voted aye. Walsh voted no. The motion carried.
Potter recommended that the City begin adding a late penalty
or interest charge to the sewer and storm water billings. Linda
explained that the billing program is designed to calculate an
interest penalty on billings. The Council will make a final
decision on the penalty charge at the next Council meeting.
Bernard Marx questioned the Council on the progress of getting
the storm sewer extended through Jim Hennum's and his dad's
property. The Council explained that either Hennum must request a
lot split or the City must secure an easement through Hennum's lot
before anything more can be done. Linda was directed to contact
Hennum to see how he wants to proceed.

Re: Barthel Commercial Park
Dear Ms. Houghton:
This letter is in furtherance of our recent telephone conversation
regarding the above project. In that conversation, you suggested that I write
a letter regarding the Barthel's position concerning the draft of a Developers
Agreement. you will note I am sending a copy of this letter to Mike Couri.
My comments regarding the proposed Developers Agreement will refer to the
specific sections in that document, as follows:
1A. We ask that no time limit be set forth when the graveled area must
be paved. In other words, the paving would be required only when a
second building is constructed and not by any certain date.
1B. This will need to be changed to reflect the variance permitting a 60
foot road right-of-way. We would also ask you to reconsider the
requirement of curb and gutter which appears to be unnecessary and
will require a substantial additional cost. We also want to advise
you that presently Donald Barthel owns the property but subsequent
to the execution of the Development Agreement, the property will be
transferred to an entity which will be owned by other family
members. Language should be included in the Development Agreement
authorizing the transfer to this family owned entity.

Ms. Linda Houghton

July 28, 1992
3A. The Barthels are long standing, substantial members of the
community. With that in mind, the surety requirement should be
nominal. We recommend that the document reflect that the surety be
in the amount of 25 percent of the proposed improvements.
7. I understand your ordinances require a park dedication fee of five
percent of the market value. The Barthels have advised me that the
taxable market value according to their tax statement is $24,500.00
for the 18 acre parcel which includes Lot 1, Block 2 and Outlot A.
Five percent of this amount is $1,225.00 which is an amount the
Barthels would agree to pay.
16. Again a reference should be made in this paragraph to the family
owned entity which will be an assignee of the property at some date
in the near future.
As you know, we are anxious to proceed with this matter and would be
appreciative of your prompt attention. If you have any questions or wish to
discuss this further, please give me a call.
Yours very truly,

Re: 1992-11-B Improvement Project
Existing Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Council members Vetsch and Berning asked that we prepare
an
additional cost estimate for the removal and replacement of
the
existing sanitary sewer on 60th Street NE from Main Street
to
Lamont Avenue NE. See figure 9. These two blocks would
be
upgraded to repair the pipe failures within the system and also
reduce the infiltration inflow to the sanitary sewer system.
The sanitary sewer within this two -block section varies in slope
from 0.41% to 2.74%. Because of the concerns of the residents
for
sewage blockage within this area, we would propose that
the
average sewer grade be made at a 1.25% grade. This would have
the
effect of deepening up the sewer line between Lamont Avenue NE
and
Main Street. The sewer size would remain 8-inch in size.
Attached at the rear of this letter are cost estimates broken down
per each block of sewer line to be replaced. These estimates were
based on those utilized for Alternate Route #4 since it was
the
Council's opinion that this was the most favorable route to
be
followed for replacement of the sewer line. Please note that
the
cost estimates are only for construction and do not include
engineering, legal, administrative or other financing costs.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
MEYER-ROHLIN, INC.

Re: Barthel Commercial Park
Dear Ms. Houghton:
This letter is in furtherance of our recent telephone conversation
regarding the above project. In that conversation, you suggested that I write
a letter regarding the Barthel's position concerning the draft of a Developers
Agreement. You will note I am sending a copy of this letter to Mike Couri.
My comments regarding the proposed Developers Agreement will refer to the
specific sections in that document, as follows:
1A. We ask that no time limit be set forth when the graveled area must
be paved. In other words, the paving would be required only when a
second building is constructed and not by any certain date.
1B. This will need to be changed to reflect the variance permitting a 60
foot road right-of-way. We would also ask you to reconsider the
requirement of curb and gutter which appears to be unnecessary and
will require a substantial additional cost. We also want to advise
you that presently Donald Barthel owns the property but subsequent
to the execution of the Development Agreement, the property will be
transferred to an entity which will be owned by other family
members. Language should be included in the Development Agreement
authorizing the transfer to this family owned entity.

Ms. Linda Houghton

July 28, 1992
3A. The Barthels are long standing, substantial members of the
community. With that in mind, the surety requirement should be
nominal. We recommend that the document reflect that the surety be
in the amount of 25 percent of the proposed improvements.
7. I understand your ordinances require a park dedication fee of five
percent of the market value. The Barthels have advised me that the
taxable market value according to their tax statement is $24,500.00
for the 18 acre parcel which includes Lot 1, Block 2 and Outlot A.
Five percent of this amount is $1,225.00 which is an amount the
Barthels would agree to pay.
16. Again a reference should be made in this paragraph to the family
owned entity which will be an assignee of the property at some date
in the near future.
As you know, we are anxious to proceed with this matter and would be
appreciative of your prompt attention. If you have any questions or wish to
discuss this further, please give me a call.
Yours very truly,
William A. Haug
