PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, City Engineers Thore
Meyer and Norm Gartner, City ATtorney Mike Couri and City Clerk
Linda Houghton
Mayor Walsh opened the regular meeting of the Albertville City
Council at 7:50 PM.
The following additions were made to the agenda under
Administration: Discussion of sewer rates, payment of the 1991
audit report, and fire department's concerns over the flags on the
hydrants. Discussion of installation of cable television in the
Hardwood Pond addition was added to the agenda under Community
Forum. Berning made a motion to approve the agenda as amended.
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The minutes of the September 8, 1992, minutes were amended as
follows:
(1) Page 1, Paragraph 9 to read "No Truck"
sign on the corner of 57th Street and Barthel
Industrial Drive. "
(2) Page 2, Paragraph 7 to add "The flags will be
flown on special requests as well".
(3) Page 1, Paragraph 8 corrected to indicate that
Ken is not required to talk to those property
owners with items in the right-of-way.
(4) Page 5, Paragraph 7 is amended to state that
Andy Savitski is required to blacktop only a
portion of the parking lot until the drainage
problem is corrected.
Barthel made a motion to approve the amended minutes. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the September
14, 1992, Public Hearing on 50th Street as printed. Linda was
directed to listen to the tape again to verify if changes to the
minutes recommended by Mike Couri should be made. Vetsch seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the September
14, 1992, work meeting. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted

Dean Spencer told the Council that he and his neighbors in
Hardwood Ponds have requested the cable television company to
extend its lines into the development. They have been told that
there must be a petition signed by every homeowner in the
development. Spencer asked the City to intervene. Linda was

directed to contact Mert Auger, one of the members of the cable
television commission, and attempt to find out what needs to be
done to get installation of the cable into Hardwood Ponds.
Councilman Vetsch reported that he, Councilman Mark Barthel
and Ken Lindsay have been looking at a used 1979 Ford truck at
Hoglund Bus Company. The truck was previously owned by the City
of Ramsey, is equipped with a plow, wing and hydraulic sander, and
has 51,000 miles. The truck comes complete with accurate and up-
to-date maintenance journals. A negotiated price of $8,500 has
been reached. The parties also looked at a used two-way plow that
can be added to the truck. The two-way plow can be purchased for
$1,100. Sandblasting and painting the truck will cost about
$1,700. A hydraulic bank to operate the two-way plow will need to
be added. The Truck will also need a tune-up. Total costs of the
add-ons and the tune-up should not exceed $1,000. With sales tax
added, the cost of the completed vehicle should not exceed
$13,099.50. The City's 1973 truck and the used plow could be put
up for sale in the $3,000 range.
Vetsch made a motion to purchase the truck and the accessory
-- two-way plow, sandblast and repaint the vehicle, add a hydraulic
bank to operate the two-way plow, and have a complete tune-up of
the vehicle done at a not -to -exceed cost of $13,099.50. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning requested that the report on the costs of the City's
snowplowing season for 1991-92 previously given to the Council be
added as an attachment to the minutes to reflect that the City
Council did compare costs of City -operated snowplowing vs.
contracted snowplowing.
Potter noted for the record that one of the owners of Hoglund
Bus Company is a nephew of Councilman Vetsch.
Ken Lindsay has only received one price to install a drain
line in the flow meter manhole. The price from Metropolitan
Underground is $986. The Council and Ken felt that amount was too
high and no action on the drain line until Ken can secure other
prices.
City Engineer Thore Meyer reported that Frankfort Township has
taken bids for improvements to MacIver Avenue and 50th Street. An
option bid includes the approximately 1300 feet of 50th Street west
of MacIver Avenue that is in the city limits. Frankfort has bid
this section of street with curb and gutter. The cost of the
option bid which includes the City's portion of 50th Street was
about $75,000. Albertville's half of that total would be about
$37,500. Thore told the Council that there are two areas they must
address --one, does the City want curb and gutter; and two, what
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
September 21,1992
Page 3 of 6
municipality should do what portion. The Council concurred that
the City will require curb and gutter. Thore stated his opinion
that the City needs the dirt from the hill area for fill in the low
areas and it appears to be much easier for the City of Albertville
to do the improvements to 50th Street. Councilmen Vetsch and
Berning, along with Thore, will meet with Frankfort's engineer and
Board to negotiate a workable solution to who will do what. The
consensus of the Council is that the City should to all of 50th
Street up to MacIver Avenue.
Mike Couri arrived at the meeting at 8:45 PM.
Thore explained that he has talked to Clem and Bernard Marx
regarding the drainage on the property owned by Marx and Jim
Hennum. He has directed Marx to approach the City if they wish to
proceed.
Thore presented a map of the trunk sewer line showing the
assessable footage in red and the wetlands areas in yellow. The
map gives an allowance of 150' on the assessment of corners. Thore
also provided a calculation and a summary sheet for the Council to
consider at a work meeting to be scheduled at a later date.
Thore reported that Frankfort Township has decided not to
pursue securing an easement or going ahead with the cleanout of the
ditch as had been proposed in a tentative agreement reached in
committee. Thore will continue to pursue the agreement with MNDOT
to drain the I-94 area.
Norm Gartner will have a schedule for the sewer line
replacement phases as well as plans and specs for the project for
the first Council meeting in October. Norm will check with DTED
to see if expenses incurred for replacing the existing sewer mains
is reimbursable to the City after the entire 1992-11A project has
been accepted for public financing. Councilman Berning asked
Gartner to get pricing on putting curbs along 60th Street when the
street is torn up for sewer main replacement.
The Council reviewed the letter from Gartner dated September
17, 1992, regarding alum usage at the wastewater plant. No action
was taken.
Thore reported that he has contacted the architect for the new
high school about the storm drainage ditch in front of the
building. Thore is waiting for the results of the measurements
from the surveyor and the architect.
Thore was asked to check into the retaining wall in the
Barthel Manor Second Addition.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
September 21,1992
Page 4 of 6
Thore was directed to check into the complaint from Mike
Heuring regarding the ditch at the County Work Building. He will
contact the County Engineer about the problem.
Mayor Walsh officially thanked Thore Meyer and Meyer-Rohlin,
Inc. for donating the topo map of the City Park and for the time
he donated to this effort.
Walsh, Berning and Norm Gartner will set up a meeting to
establish new sewer rates to be effective the first of the year.
Couri reviewed the $350,000 bond for the truck sanitary sewer
line he has negotiated for sale with four area banks. The bond
will be 12 years at a 5.7% interest rate. The City will assess the
actual cost of the project of $350,867, but the bond amount is
required to be rounded to the nearest $5,000 increment. The
closing for the bonds has been scheduled for September 30.
Potter made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-25 awarding the
sale of $350,000 General Obligation Bond 1992A. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Couri reported that the developer's agreement for Pysk's 5th
Addition is on hold until the developer decides if he wishes to
proceed based on the costs. Couri was reminded to be sure that
park dedication be included in the developer's agreement.
The developer's agreement for the Westwind 3rd Addition is
being drafted. The park dedication fee of $170 per unit will be
included in the agreement. The City will also address the problem
that the Fire Department does not have a ladder that will extend
up three floors. This matter must be addressed as well.
LeRoy Berning addressed the Council with the results of the
bids received on the park shelter renovations. Attorney Mike Couri
advised the Council that the City must receive a minimum of two
bids for each item bid. The low bids for the completion of the
project total $58,621.00. The Jaycees have pledged $20,000 to this
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
September 21,1992
Page 5 of 6
project, the Lions have pledged $15,000 and the Council has agreed
to contribute $15,000 of the insurance proceeds to the new
building. Berning asked if the City would be able to spend the
additional $8,621.00 to allow the project to proceed. The Council
concurred that this amount could be taken from the TIF monies that
are to be spent. The Park Board volunteered to contribute the
$2,000 in their capital outlay budget toward the project if
necessary. The Council stated that the Park Board's budget would
not be used.
Mike Couri left the meeting at 10:00 PM.
Potter made a motion to accept all low bids in each category
in which there are two or more bids. The categories with only one
bid are excluded, i.e., ceiling, electrical, overhead garage,
heating and plumbing bids. Berning agreed to attempt to get at
least one more bid in each category that has only one bid by the
next Council meeting. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Superintendent Mario DeMatteis showed the Council the proposed
boundary lines between the St. Michael -Albertville and the Elk
River School Districts. The Elk River School Board will meet
tomorrow to act upon the boundary changes.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
the period September 3-15. Berning requested that Linda check into
the investments of the certificates of deposit that mature in
October for the Council to consider at the next meeting. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to pay the bills as presented (Check
#6752-#6772). Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the amendment to the Joint
Powers Operating and Authorization Agreement at Paragraph C-4.a and
C-4.b as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning questioned whether Joint Powers could be charging the
City for hydrant use for flooding the hockey rinks, Friendly City
Days, etc. Mayor Walsh and Councilman Barthel, the Joint Powers
representatives, explained that hydrants can be used by city
employees only without the hydrant charge applying. They
recommended that Linda notify Joint Powers when the City will be
using a hydrant. The Joint Powers requires that a back -flow
preventer valve be used on hydrants. The City may later consider
the purchase of its own back -flow preventer valve. Barthel made
a motion to adopt the Joint Powers Ordinance Concerning Water
Permits. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL

RESOLUTION CONCERNING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CREATE A NEW
PROPERTY TAXPAYER'S TRUST FUND IN MINNESOTA. Vetsch seconded the

for December 8, 1992, and the continuation of the hearing, if
necessary, for December 15, 1992, at 7:30 PM. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
The Council directed Linda to have Pat Krause, or another
representative from the Gruys, Borden & Carlson firm, attend the
next Council meeting to address the Council's concerns regarding
the cost of the 1991 audit report.
Linda informed the Council that Fire Chief Rick Wacker asked
to clarify that the Fire Department does not have problems with
rocks or shrubs around hydrants. The bigger danger or chance for
injuries to firemen, according to Wacker, is the flags attached to
the hydrants.
Linda informed the Council that Roger Kirsch has submitted a
price of $365 to install two ridgulators. The project will be line
itemed under Building/Plant maintenance.
Albert Barthel addressed the Council concerning the
maintenance department's equipment backed too close to the fire
trucks. The Council agreed to have the maintenance department move
the equipment back away from the fire truck and paint a line on the
floor to separate the two areas.
Potter made a motion to adjourn at 10.35 PM. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

The other manhole at the ponds has a tube that drains directly to
the lift station. Ken is in the process of getting quotes on
having a drain installed on the flow meter manhole.
Ken recommended that if the second lift of blacktop in the
Westwind Second Addition is not completed before snowfall, the

scheduled yet this fall. Thore was directed to contact Redstone
Construction to insure that the blacktopping is completed as soon
as possible.

Barthel made a motion to adopt the following resolution:
RESOLUTION REQUESTING BIDS
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 1992-3
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Albertville to advertise for bids for all improvements,
including water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and street
improvements, in accordance with the Specifications for

Improvements Pysk's Fifth Addition) dated September 1,
1992, and prepared by Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. Bids will be
opened at City Hall on October 13, 1992, at 2:00 PM.
Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Couri explained the developers of Westwind Third Addition are
requesting final plat approval, contingent upon approval of MPCA
for sanitary sewer extension, and subject to a Developer's
Agreement. The hardshells are not yet available for Westwind Third
Addition because Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. will not be the engineer for
this addition and another engineering firm is still in the process
of completing the hardshell. The final plat will have a detention
pond on the property and on the developer's undeveloped land. The
detention pond will remain the property of the owner, not the City.
Vetsch made a motion to grant final plat approval for Westwind
Third Addition, contingent upon the developer providing the
hardshell and signing a developer's agreement. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

project contact for the wastewater treatment expansion.

budget meeting immediately following the two public hearings.
Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-19 (DECLARING
THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN
EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY).

EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY).
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Attorney Couri advised the Council to amend the ordinance
detailing sewer charges to include the addition of penalties for
late payments. Walsh, Berning, and Linda will meet with Thore to
draft the ordinance change for the full Council to review.
Couri presented a proposed bond and assessment schedule for
the sewer interceptor project. The Council agreed to set a work
meeting to review the sewer line assessments following the public
hearing on 50th Street on Monday, September 14.
Barthel made a motion to set the assessment hearing for the
sewer interceptor (Improvement Project 1991-2) for Tuesday, October
27, 1992, at 7:00 PM. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Linda was directed to review the City's shoreland ordinance
and to begin drafting a new ordinance to comply with the new
requirements. The City has a grant from the state to pay 50% of
all reasonable expenses, or $5,000, whichever is less, to make the
ordinance changes.
Ralph Ackerman has told the clerk that he is in the process
of getting bids to construct a new building for his kennels. The
cost of remodeling his existing barn is too prohibitive. A meeting
has been set up with Ackerman to discuss how he will comply on
September 15.
Couri has drafted a quit claim deed for the vacation of the
property for Security Bank Northwest that reserves an easement over
underground utilities.
The Council tabled action on Planning & Zoning's
recommendation to amend the Zoning Ordinance #1000.4 (i) (2) to
require that 50% of the front and 25% of the sidewalls of
commercial buildings must be material other than steel. The
Council will attempt to determine the additional costs to the
average building if the amendment is approved.
Vetsch made a motion to have the clerk contact Beatrice Roden

PUBLIC HEARING
FACILITIES PLAN FOR 1992-11A IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
September 21, 1992
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Mike Potter, Duane
Berning, Donatus Vetsch, and Mark Barthel, City Engineers Thore
Meyer and Norm Gartner, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda
Houghton
Mayor Walsh called the public hearing to review the Facilities
Plan for the 1992-11A Improvement Project to order.
The audience present at this public hearing was Dean Spencer,
Clem Marx and Don Berning.
Engineer Norm Gartner reviewed the Facilities Plan with the
Council and the audience. Minor revisions to the preliminary plan
presented to the Council on September 14, 1992, were made at the
recommendation of the consulting engineering firm, James M.
Montgomery.
Gartner explained that the City has been discussing an
• expansion to the wastewater treatment plant for the past four
months. In the 1992-11A Feasibility Study, four alternate plans
using the existing facility and expanding upon it were presented.
The Council evaluated the different alternatives in regard to cost,
ease of operation and operational expenses. The Council agreed to
pursue the Alternative IV -A, a modification of the Pretreatment -
Filtration -Clarification option. The filtration aspect of the
alternate selected has since been eliminated as unnecessary based
on the jar test results.
The proposed system consists of six floating aerators
installed in the first stabilization pond, allowing the wastewater
to flow through the three existing stabilization ponds. The water
will discharge into an alum mixing/storage building for treatment
before it passes through the clarifier. The sludge generated by
the clarification process will be pumped back into either pond cell
one or two. The final process before discharge to Mud Lake is the
ultra -violet disinfection process. The proposed expansion changes
the discharge frequency to Mud Lake from controlled to continuous.
This necessitates the installation of 24-hour composite samplers
at the influent and effluent points of the treatment facility. The
expansion increases the present wastewater capacity from 115,000
gallons per day to 315,000 gallons per day. The 200,000 gallon per
day increase is the maximum the City can go before the state's non -
degradation rules apply.
• The City has also studied the existing collection system.
The lines were televised in the fall and winter of 1991. The
results showed cracks, breaks and blockage in some of the lines,

allowing infiltration. The Council found it more cost effective
to replace about ten blocks of sewer mains than to continue to
treat the infiltration.
The estimated cost of this treatment alternative is $586,000.
The estimated user charge for the first year of operation is
estimated at $82,450. Within this estimated annual operation and
maintenance cost is a replacement reserve for equipment at the
wastewater treatment plant in the amount of $7,500.
Gartner advised the Council that in the future the Council
should consider if new industry constructing in the City should be
required to pretreat its wastewater prior to discharge into the
collection system.
Gartner explained that three major permits will have to be
received by the City for the project --from the MPCA for the
wastewater treatment facility expansion, and from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and the US Army Corps of Engineers
for the relocation of the outfall line to a different discharge
point on Mud Lake.
Mayor Walsh stated for the audience in attendance that the
regular meeting of the City Council would follow this public
hearing.
Gartner reviewed Part VII--Reliability section of the
Facilities Plan with the Council. This pertains to how the system
could continue to operate when portions of the equipment
malfunction.
The Facilities Plan has been prepared by the City for the
purpose of attempting to secure public financing of the project.
The MPCA will now review the plan. According to Gartner, he has
contacted MPCA at various points for input and MPCA appears to be
in agreement with the basic proposal.
Mayor Walsh called for public comments from the audience.
There were no questions or comments.
Potter made a motion to close the public discussion portion
of the public hearing. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Vetsch made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION 1992-23, which
establishes the findings of fact regarding the Facilities Plan.

CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING
50TH STREET IMPROVEMENT
September 14, 1992
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Duane Berning, Donatus
Vetsch and Mark Barthel, City Clerk Linda Houghton, City Engineer
Thore Meyer, City Attorney Mike Couri
Mayor Walsh called the continuation of the public hearing to
discuss improvements to 50th Street to order at 7:30 PM.
City Engineer Thore Meyer reviewed the proposed plan to
construct a 9-ton, 32' curb -to -curb street. The eastbound traffic
lane will be 12' with a 2' safety lane. The westbound traffic lane
will be 12'wide with an additional 6' bicycle lane. The street
will be centered on the right-of-way.
Trudy Dahlheimer asked the Council to consider having a study
done by the Wright County Soil & Conservation office to address her
concerns that putting additional water into Becker pond will lead
to water on her property. Thore explained that the storm sewers
will eliminate the water off the present gravel street from going
across the lots as it currently does. There will actually be no
additional water going into Becker pond than there is at present.
Tom Haller questioned whether channeling the drainage off the
street directly into the wetlands area through storm sewers
potentially wouldn't cause flooding problems in a few of the yards.
Mayor Walsh explained that this does not alter the natural flow of
the water and that the City has no authority to change the present
wetland area.
Jan Heikes stated that she feels that the pond is not adequate
to hold the immediate run-off from the snow melt and the spring
rains if it is channeled from the street through the storm sewer
to the pond.
Randy Lebsock questioned whether the water from the north side
of 50th Street would also be channeled to Becker pond. Thore
explained that no additional water will go into Becker pond than
is going there now.
Mark Haller asked if the City would consider using
surmountable curbs vs. the V-6 curb proposed. Thore explained that
he had proposed the V-6 curb because it controls water better than
the surmountable curb. The V-6 curb also defines the
travelcurbing ways
is
better. The cost difference between the two types
approximately $.25 per foot.
Tom Haller addressed the safety issue. He questioned if there
shouldn't be a bike lane on each side of the street. The City has
PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET
September 14, 1992
Page 2 of 4
proposed a bike c=lane only on the westbound lane in an attempt to
keep costs down.
Tom Haller also asked the Council if an appraisal would be
done by the City before the project is initiated. Mayor Walsh
explained that the consensus of the Council is that this project
will be done exactly as is every other improvement project in the
City. Therefore, the City will not have an appraisal done before
construction of the project. Notice of the assessment will be sent
to each property owner and a hearing will be set to assess those
costs.
Attorney Mike Couri told the audience that an appraisal may
be needed before the assessment hearing.
Tom Haller told the Council that he had met with some of the
property owners along 50th Street. Some of those owners are
willing to participate in cost sharing with the City on an
appraisal. Haller has spoken to one of the appraisers who
submitted a proposal to the City and was told that it would cost
about $3200 to have five properties appraised. Walsh told Haller
that the Council had asked to have a petition from 100% of the
property owners willing to pay the cost of an appraisal.
Trudy Dahlheimer questioned if the City has ever set precedent
on improving a collector street, which is what 50th Street is
designated. The Council is following the precedent established
for improving all city streets.
The Council has agreed that the City will pay the additional
costs of approximately $17,200 to upgrade from a 7-ton street to
a 9-ton street. The Council has also agreed to pay the cost of
the sidewalk on the north side of the street. Councilman Vetsch
suggested the City also consider contributing the money that would
be spent on dust control and maintenance over the next five years
(approximately $3,000 per year for a total of $15,000) to the cost
of the project. With these City contributions, Vetsch said the
assessable cost to the property owners would be about $205,600.
Randy Lebsock questioned if the expense of the project exceeds
the benefit to the property owners. If there is a big variation
t, Lebsock
between the Council haveanappraisal done t and the las suggested byrecommended Tom Haller
the
earlier in the meeting.
Tom Haller asked if the City was setting a legal precedent on
collector streets. Are Councils bound to follow a precedent set
on other projects? Attorney Mike Couri stated that any developer
could ask the City Council to treat them exactly as was done on
this project. Couri cannot answer how the court system would rule
PUBLIC HEARING 50TH STREET
September 14, 1992

if a suit was brought.
Vetsch made a motion to close the public discussion portion
of the public hearing. Barthel seconded the motion. Mayor Walsh
asked if there was any discussion before the vote on Vetsch's
motion.
George Reiser asked how a corner lot would be assessed. Mayor
Walsh explained that precedent set in the past assesses a corner
lot on the second side at 50%.
Wilfred Becker asked if the improvements were assessed on a
per lot basis if the assessment per lot would be $9,350. The
Council explained that the method of assessing the costs has not
been definitely set at this point.
Mayor Walsh called for a vote on the motion to close public
discussion. All voted aye.
Couri advised the Council that acceptance of a project
requires four -fifths of the vote of the entire Council. Since
Councilman Potter is not present, a unanimous vote by the four
members present would be required to approve this project.
Vetsch made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #1992-21 ordering
the 50th Street improvements to be constructed as detailed:
(a) 32' curb -to -curb 9-ton street centered on the
right -of way(12' eastbound travel lane plus a
2' safety lane ana 12' westbound traffic lane
with a 6' bike lane)
(b) The City will pick up the additional
construction costs between a 7-ton and a 9-
ton street.
(c) The City will pay estimated maintenance cost
of $3,000 per year over a five year period,
for a total of $15,000, toward the cost of the
project.
(d) The City will pay all costs for a 4' sidewalk
on the north side of 50th Street.
(e) The City will request separate option bids for
a V-6 curb and surmountable curbs.
Barthel seconded the motion. Vetsch, Barthel, Berning and Walsh
voted aye. There were no abstentions or nay votes. The motion
passed with four -fifths majority.
Barthel made a motion to approve RESOLUTION #1992-22, ordering
plans and specs for the 50th Street Improvement Project as detailed
in Resolution #1992-21. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted

SPECIAL WORK MEETING
September 14, 1992
Albertville City Hall 9:20 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Jim Walsh, Councilmen Duane Berning, Mark
Barthel and Donatus Vetsch, City Engineers Thore Meyer and Norm
Gartner, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton
Mayor Walsh called the special work meeting to order.
Norm Gartner gave the Council a preliminary Facilities Plan
for expansion to the wastewater treatment plant for their review
prior to the public hearing on September 21, 1992, at 7:00 PM. A
copy of the notice of the public hearing and the minutes must be
submitted to MPCA with the Facilities Plan by October 1, 1992.
Gartner was asked to prepare a phase schedule for the
replacement of the existing sewer mains for the Council to
consider.
The Council discussed the assessment of the trunk sewer line
to the high school. Couri presented the Council with the total
costs to be bonded. Couri is making arrangements to bond for
$350,000 for this project.
Couri also presented the Council with two schedules to
consider for the assessment of this project. One of the schedules
assesses the entire $350,000 costs over a twelve year period. The
other schedule assesses $270,000 of the front footage assessment
over a twelve year period, and defers the $80,000 area assessment
for five years. The area assessment is then amortized over the
last seven years of the twelve year period.
Barthel left the meeting at 10:00 PM.
The Council is in agreement that a five-year deferment on the
area portion of the assessment will be granted.
The Council listened to the opinions of property owners Doug
Psyk and Clem Marx. One of the concerns expressed was how corner
lots would be assessed.
The Council directed Thore to prepare a color -coded map of the
project detailing the exact footage to be assessed and showing how
corner lots and wetland area are to be dealt with. The Council
will review the map before a final decision is reached on the total
assessment.
Vetsch made a motion to adjourn at 10:40 PM. Walsh seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION # 1992-23
RESOLUTION CONCERNING A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
TO CREATE A NEW PROPERTY TAXPAYER'S
TRUST FOND IN MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota enacted a 3% State sales tax
in 1967 with the promise to voters that the money would be returned
to them in the form of lower property tax relief for property tax
Payers; and
WHEREAS, in 1991, the Governor and State Legislature approved
the addition of a 1/2% increase in the State sales tax, raising it
from 6% to 6 1/2% with $.02 dedicated to fund the Local Government
Trust Fund which was created to continue the State's commitment to
local property tax relief; and
WHEREAS, in 1992, the Governor and State Legislature extended
the 6 1/2% sales tax to local government purchases with the promise
of continued property tax relief through the Local Government Trust
Fund; and
WHEREAS, each year local governments are forced to combat
continued attempts to reduce the levels of State revenue dedicated
to local property tax relief through cuts in programs such as Local
Government Aid; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the State will face another
budget deficit in 1993, making cuts in local property tax relief
Programs during the upcoming legislative session; and
WHEREAS, Governor Carlson has already publicly announced that
he will concentrate on eliminating local property tax relief
programs during the upcoming legislative session; and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities and the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities have taken positions supporting a
constitutional amendment dedicating $.02 of each $.06 1/2 collected
from the State sales tax to the Local Government Trust Fund if such
dedication cannot be assured statutorily; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the City of Albertville calls upon the State
Legislature to support a constitutional amendment dedicating $.02
of each $.06 1/2 collected by the State sales tax to a new Property
Taxpayers' Trust Fund, to guarantee continued property tax relief
from the current Local Government Trust Fund; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the City of Albertville strongly urges that the
League of Minnesota Cities and the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities make one of their 1993 priorities support for a
constitutional amendment dedicating $.02 of each $.06 1/2 collected
by the State sales tax to a new Property Taxpayer's Trust Fund; and
be it further
RESOLVED, that the City requests that the League of Minnesota
Cities begin coordinating a series of state-wide "Truth in
Taxation" meetings with property taxpayers, to be held this fall,
to educate the public and candidates for State elected offices on
the issues regarding the need for a constitutional amendment
dedicating $.02 of each $.06 1/2 collected by the State sales tax
a new Property Taxpayers' Trust Fund to protect local property tax
relief funds from budget cuts during the 1993 Legislative Session.
