ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
November 1, 1993
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers John Vetsch, Duane
Berning, Sharon Anderson and Albert Barthel, City Clerk Linda
Houghton, City Engineers Thore Meyer, Ron Guerts, and Norm Gartner,
City Attorney Mike Couri
Mayor Potter called the regular meeting of the Albertville
City Council to order.
Councilmember Vetsch requested that 50th Street concerns be
addressed under Engineering. Berning made a motion to approve the
agenda as presented. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Councilmember Berning requested that Linda draft an ordinance
prohibiting the issuance of building permits before curb, gutter
and Class 5 gravel has been installed for the Council to consider
at the next meeting.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Follow -Up sheet from the
October 18, 1993, meeting. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the October
13, 1993, joint meeting with the Park Board. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the October
18, 1993, special meeting concerning HRA's. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the October
18, 1993, regular City Council meeting. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Karen Corwin requested the City consider approval of the sale
of alcoholic beverages at KD's Family Restaurant on Sundays at
11:00 AM vs. the current time of 12:00 noon. Anderson made a
motion to set a public hearing to consider Corwin's request for
7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 23, 1993. Corwin agreed to pay the
all City costs for the public hearing. Barthel seconded the
motion. All,,voted aye.
Dennis Fehn addresses the Council with his concerns that
Barthel Industrial Drive will be opened as a gravel street. He
stated there is a safety question with the misalignment of MacIver
Avenue NE and Barthel Industrial Drive. He believes that truck
traffic from Barthel Industrial Drive will not have enough room to
make the turn onto MacIver Avenue. Dust control will also be an
issue for Fehns. Ken Lindsay suggested that crushed bituminous
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
November 1, 1993
Page 2 of 5
could be used rather that Class 5 to help with the dust issue.
Mayor Potter stated that it is his intention to reopen Barthel
Industrial Drive and pave it at the same time. The costs of the
improvements could be assessed partially to the lots in Barthel
Industrial Park. The Council's consensus is that the portion of
Barthel Industrial Drive now closed will remain closed through this
winter. Linda was directed to notify emergency operations that the
street is closed.
Doug Psyk requested the Council reduce his Letter of Credit
for improvements for Psyk's 5th Addition. The developer's
agreement for Pyyk's 5th Addition was based on the assumption that
the project would be constructed under the 429 assessment statutes.
Psyk has since decided to pay for the improvements himself and has
reimbursed the City for all costs as they have been presented.
Attorney Couri has been consulted and indicated to Linda that he
could not see a risk to the City in reducing the amount of the
Letter of Credit. City Engineer Thore Meyer will determine the
cost of the improvements remaining and the Council will consider
the reduction in the Letter of Credit at the next Council meeting.
Ken Lindsay discussed snow plowing with the Council. Since
^ Mike is required to spend a minimum of two hours a day in the
parks, Ken is unsure whether there will be adequate time to
complete the snowplowing during an eight -hour day. The Council
stated that if it takes more than eight hours to plow snow, the
maintenance department should complete the job and take the extra
time spent off the next day.
Ken was also directed to put together a list of potential
part-time employees to call upon in situations where additional
help is required.
City Engineer Thore Meyer pointed out a safety concern with
the alignment of the County Road 19 and County Road 37
intersection. School buses are unable to make a complete turn from
County Road 37 onto County Road 19 because of the railroad crossing
stop required. Linda was directed to draft a letter to Wayne
Fingalson, Wright County Engineer, to request that this area be
placed on the County's Five Year Plan.
Thore stated that the drainage concerns from Falbo's may be
a legitimate concern, and he will keep an eye on the drainage
situation from the outlet of the storm sewer in this area.
Vetsch questioned why a guard rail was not installed by
Falbo's property. Thore stated that a guard rail was initially
included in the Feasibility Study was not included in the plans
and specs because it was not necessary.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
November 1, 1993
Page 3 of 5
The Joint Powers Board also have some concerns with a fire
hydrant along 50th Street. Thore was directed to send a letter to
Joint Powers explaining how the hydrants were raised.
City Engineer Norm Gartner reported that all contractors in
the City are having a very difficult time meeting the density
requirements because of the excess moisture in the soil. The
contractors are getting the best density possible, somewhere in the
95% area. The City specs calls for a 98% density test.
Consequently the first lift of blacktop will probably not be
installed until next spring. Norm stated there should be no voids
because the soil is wet, but settlements may occur. He will
determine if a geotextile fabric is necessary beneath the gravel
base.
Attorney Couri presented the agreement to release Healthspan
from its clinic lease. The agreement calls for Healthspan to
provide $30,000 for the costs of renovating the building. Of that
amount a bid for $28,762 for interior renovations has been received
from Timco. Healthspan will place the balance of the $30,000 not
needed for interior renovations in a capital projects account for
the City to use in the parking area. Berning made a motion to
approve the Agreement to Terminate Lease as presented. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Developer's Agreement for the Parkside 2nd Addition was
presented. Since all utility and street improvements in this
addition were included with the Parkside 1st Addition, there is no
need for a Letter of Credit for those improvements. A Letter of
Credit must be provided, however, for boulevard improvements, total
costs estimated at $17,280. Anderson made a motion to approve the
Developer's Agreement for Parkside 2nd Addition with the Letter of
Credit established at 60% of the estimated boulevard improvements
costs. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to grant final plat approval to Parkside
2nd Addition, subject to the following:
(1) The developer enters into a Developer's Agreement with
the City.
(2) Payment of Park Dedication Fees for the plat in the
amount of $6,120.00.
(3) The developer provides an irrevocable letter of credit
in the amount of $10,368.00.
(4) Sewer connections are subject to MPCA approval of the
wastewater treatment facility expansion.
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to conduct a public hearing to certify

failed septic system on the Ralph Ackerman property is mostly
complete and should be submitted to the County by Wednesday.

of $156,434.60 will be held until the City receives the first
portion of the reimbursement of expenses from PFA funds. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Anderson made a motion to delegate local government unit
responsibility for the City of Albertville for wetland regulations

year trial basis. Barthel seconded the motion. Berning, Vetsch,

JOINT MEETING
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL/PARK BOARD
October 13, 1993
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers John Vetsch, Duane
Berning, Sharon Anderson and Albert Barthel, Park Board members
Marvin Vetsch, Kevin McIntosh, and Anita Roden, City employees Mike
Rutkowski and Ken Lindsay, City Clerk Linda Houghton
Mayor Potter opened the meeting at 7:07 PM. The purpose of
the meeting is to follow-up on the discussion of park maintenance.
Park Board Chairman Mary Vetsch stated that he would like to
see more of a commitment to the parks. He feels that the parks are
the very last order of priority in the City. Other park members
were in agreement with Vetsch's statement.
Since Mike Rutkowski has been put in charge of the parks,
Anita Roden indicated that things were operating more smoothly, but
the Park Board is concerned over the fact that Mike rarely puts in
16 hours weekly in the parks. The Park Board asked for better
clarifications on time sheets for the hours attributed to the
parks.
The Council reiterated that Mike has been directed to spend
16 hours a week in the park. The Council agreed that Mike will
spend a minimum of two hours a day in the parks, but that the
entire 16 hours per week would be required. Ken will not assist
in the parks unless a job requires two people.
Anderson made a motion to adjourn at 9:05 PM. Vetsch seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

SPECIAL MEETING
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
October 18, 1993
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers John Vetsch, Duane
Berning, Sharon Anderson and Albert Barthel, City Clerk Linda
Houghton
Mayor Potter called the special meeting to order. The purpose
of the meeting is to consider options for establishing an HRA
(Housing Redevelopment Authority) for the purpose of financing City
projects.
Dean Otterson of the St. Cloud HRA and the director of the
Stearns County HRA presented the Council with information on
setting up its own HRA or EDA. He explained that the Council must
conduct a public hearing regarding the establishment of an HRA and
must then pass a resolution establishing the HRA based upon the
Findings of Fact from that public hearing.
Although the City Council can serve as the HRA Board, Otterson
recommends that a separate five member Board be appointed. The HRA
Board would have the ability to levy a small amount of taxes for
its own use, subject to Council approval.
Otterson will get additional information to Mayor Potter
regarding HRA's.
Barthel made a motion to adjourn at 7:30 PM. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Houghton, City Engineers Ron Guerts and Norm Gartner, City Attorney
Mike Couri
Mayor Potter called the regular meeting of the Albertville
City Council to order.
The agenda was amended under Engineering by adding the
addition the letter received from Bridget and David Falbo
concerning their concerns over the 50th Street construction.
Berning made a motion to approve the agenda as amended. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the follow-up sheet from the
October 4, 1993, meeting as presented. Anderson seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the minutes of the October
4, 1993, meeting as presented. Anderson seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Bob Heuring did not attend the meeting to discuss collection
of grass clippings.
Bob Braun requested that the Council consider a reduction in
his letter of credit for the Hardwood Ponds 2nd Addition at such
a time when 50% of the assessments have been paid. According to
his developer's agreement, the surety will be reduced when 75% of
the assessments have been paid. Linda reported that she had
contacted the city attorney for his opinion and Couri indicated
that the Council could lower the amount of the letter of credit
upon petition of the developer when 50% of the assessments have
been paid. Vetsch made a motion stating that the Council will
agree to lower the letter of credit for the Hardwood Ponds 2nd
Addition upon petition of the developer when 50% of the assessments
have been paid. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Lion members Donatus Vetsch, Marvin Vetsch, and Ken Tiernan
requested permission to withdraw $12,000 from the Lions certificate
of deposit for various projects and to have Linda reinvest the
balance of the funds. Barthel made a motion to approve the
request. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Galen Kalina, representing the Camp Courage Wagon Train,
explained that this year the annual wagon train will be leaving
from Elk River on Friday, June 17, and would like to travel through
Albertville on County Road 19 by the freeway. The wagon train
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
October 18, 1993
Page 2 of 5
would like a tanker truck to bring water for the horses to the
site. Fire Chief Dave Vetsch was in attendance at the meeting and
indicated there should be no problem with that request. Linda was
directed to contact the city attorney to determine if the City
needs any proof of insurance, etc., from Camp Courage.
Barthel made a motion to appoint Howard Larson, representing
the Planning & Zoning Commission, to the Otsego Creek Commission.
Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Engineer Norm Gartner was unaware of the situation
described by the Falbos in their letter and will speak will Thore
and report to the next Council meeting.
Norm presented a letter dated October 14, 1993, from Annandale
Contracting requesting a thirty day time extension on completion
of Hardwood Ponds 2nd Addition improvements. The request results
from the fact that the contract for the improvements was delayed
because the City had not received the required sureties from the
developer. In addition the contractor is requesting approval of
an additional $.43 per foot increase in curb and gutter due to the
fact that additional time and work are spent installing curb and
gutter after November 1. Anderson made a motion to approve a 30-
day time extension for completion of improvements in the Hardwood
Ponds 2nd Addition and to approve an additional $.43 per lineal
foot cost for curb and gutter if installed after November 1 (2,630
feet for an additional cost of $1,130.90). Barthel seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Norm updated the Council on various City projects. Norm was
directed to have the on -site inspector doublecheck compaction in
the Parkside Addition where curb and gutter will be installed.
Norm reviewed Change Order #1 on the wastewater treatment
facility expansion project (1992-11A). The change order is
necessary because the specs forthe project were written with a
wall -mounted electrical panel for the ultra -violet disinfection
system. Since there is no wall for the panel to be placed on,
change order #1 details a pedestal mounted pane with a hood.
Change Order #1 adds $1,837 to the project cost. Barthel made a
motion to approve Change Order #1 for Improvement Project 1993-
11A in the add amount of $1,837. Anderson seconded the motion.
Barthel and Anderson voted aye. Berning and Vetsch voted no.
Mayor Potter cast his vote affirmatively. The motion carried.
Norm also briefly explained three other potential change
orders that may arise as follows:
(1) Relocate electric line to where existing pole
is (approximately $3,000 add)
(2) Change heaters in building from electric to
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
October 18, 1993
Page 3 of 5
gas to conform with the other portion of the
building (approximately $9,920 add)
(3) MPCA will require the addition of a gate valve
on the outlet from Cell #3 into the lake
(approximately $1,500 add)
Some sort of weir may also be required in the effluent meter
sampler and, if necessary, a change order will be required.
The consensus of the Council is that the old storage garage
located at the wastewater treatment facility will remain where it
is and a retaining wall costing approximately $820 will be
installed.
Attorney Mike Couri reviewed the revised contract with
Healthspan on the clinic building. Since alterations have again
been made to the renovation plan and those costs are not available
at this time, the Council tabled further discussion.
Attorney Couri reported that Ralph Ackerman has not complied
with the City's septic system ordinance within the time limits
allowed. The Council now has only two options regarding the failed
septic system: to enforce the ordinance or to choose not to enforce
its ordinance. To enforce the ordinance requires going to the
court system and asking a judge to order that Ackerman fix his
septic system or cease use of the system. Couri cannot guarantee
or predict how the judge will order. He also indicated that the
legal costs for taking Ackerman to court could run up to $3,000.
There is only a small difference in legal costs if the City decides
to pursue the kennel violation against Ackerman at the same time.
The judge will determine whether the City's legal fees will be
reimbursed. Anderson made a motion authorizing the city attorney
to pursue enforcement of the septic system ordinance against Ralph
Ackerman and at the same time enforce the ordinance violation
concerning his kennel operation. Vetsch seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Couri has checked into the portion of Barthel Industrial Drive
that has been closed off. The City may either contact all
emergency agencies that the road is closed or reopen the street and
maintain it as any other gravel street. The Council agreed to
reopen the street and directed Linda to contact Dennis Fehn to
remove the "Private Drive" sign he has installed and to remove his
vehicles from the street.
Couri is continuing to check on the Americans with
Disabilities Act and how it applies to the current City Hall
building upon its change of use.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
the period September 30 - October 13-3 as presented. Anderson

the clinic building and the improvement bond for financing the
improvements at Hardwood Ponds 2nd Addition.

The Council agreed to have lighting installed at the new Park

be. Anderson made a motion directing Linda to get prices for the
installation of two street lights at the Park & Ride site for Mayor
Potter's and Councilman Vetsch's approval with a not -to -exceed cost
of $10,000. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Linda will contact Kevin Mealhouse, the City's civil defense
director, and the Wright County Civil Defense Director to discuss
working on a civil defense siren for the City.

It is the Developer's and City's intent that two-family twin
home dwelling units be constructed on the lots in Said Plat
(one family unit on each lot). Developer agrees that it shall
not construct any units other than said two-family twin home
dwelling units, and also agrees that said construction shall
be subject to the following restrictions:
A. Front yard setbacks shall be thirty (30) feet.
B. All units shall have at least eight hundred and sixty

property records of the Wright County Recorder's office
the restrictive covenants attached and incorporated
herein as Exhibit "G".
F. Developer has expressed its desire to construct all units

therefore agree that all units shall be constructed to
one of the two general floor plans, typical examples of
which have been attached and incorporated herein as
Exhibit "H".
Surety Requirements.
A. Developer will provide the City with cash or an
irrevocable letter of credit as security that the
obligations of the Developer under this contract shall be
performed. Said letter of credit must meet the approval
of the City attorney as to form and issuing bank. Said
cash or letter of credit shall be in the amount of
$10,368.00, representing the sum of 60% of the estimated
cost of installing the on- and off -site improvements
($17,280.00).
B. The City may draw on said letter of credit to complete
work not performed by Developer, to pay liens on property
4
to be dedicated to the City, to reimburse itself for
costs incurred in the drafting, execution, administration
or enforcement of this agreement, to otherwise fulfill
the obligations of Developer under this agreement, or as

whether to reduce or not reduce said letter of
credit.
B. The costs incurred by the City in processing any

erosion from the Plat, Developer agrees to pay all costs the
City may incur in taking whatever action is reasonably
necessary to provide ground -cover and otherwise restore Said
Plat to the point where undeveloped grounds are level and
covered with permanent vegetation sufficient to prevent
continuing soil erosion from the Platted properties. In the
event that said costs are not paid, the City may withdraw
funds from the above -mentioned surety for the purpose of
paying the costs referred to in this paragraph.
8. Developer To Pay City's Costs and Expenses. It is understood

enforcement or execution of this Agreement and the approval of
the Parkside Second Addition plat, as well as all engineering
expenses incurred by the City in designing, approving,
installing, and inspecting said Improvements described above.

10. Maintain Public Property Damaged or Cluttered During
Construction. Developer agrees to assume full financial
responsibility for any damage which may occur to public
property including but not limited to streets, street sub-
base, base, bituminous surface, curb, utility system
(including but not limited to watermain), sanitary sewer or
storm sewer when said damage occurs as a result of the
activity which takes place during the development of Said
Plat. The Developer further agrees to pay all costs required
to repair the streets and/or utility systems damaged or
cluttered with debris when occurring as a direct or indirect
result of the construction that takes place in Said Plat. In
the event the Developer fails to clean up, maintain or repair
the damaged public property mentioned above, the City shall
provide the Developer with a Notice of its intent to clean up,
repair, or maintain such public property. Developer shall
have thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of such notice
to effect such clean up, repair or maintenance of said public
property to the satisfaction of the City Council. In the
event that Developer fails to so clean up, repair or maintain
said public property, the City may undertake making or causing
it to be cleaned up, repaired or maintained. When the City
undertakes such activity, the Developer shall reimburse the
City for all of its expenses within thirty (30) days of its
billing to the Developer. If the Developer fails to pay said
bill within thirty (30) days, funds sufficient to pay the bill
may be withdrawn by the City from the surety described above
and/or assessed against any or all of Said Plat.
11. Temporary Easement Rights. Developer shall provide access to
the Subject Property at all reasonable times to the City or
its representatives for purposes of inspection or to
accomplish any necessary work pursuant to this agreement.
12. Miscellaneous.
A. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause,
paragraph or phrase of this Contract is for any reason
held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity
of the remaining portion of this Contract.
B. If building permits are issued prior to the completion
and acceptance of public improvements, the Developer
assumes all liability and the costs resulting in delays
in completion of public improvements and damage to public
improvements caused by the City, Developer, its
contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, employees,
agents, or third parties. No one may occupy a building
for which a building permit is issued on either a
temporary or permanent basis until the streets needed for
access have #1 class five gravel and concrete curbing
installed, unless a specific exception is approved by the
City.
C. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute
a waiver or amendment to the provisions of this Contract.
To be binding, amendments or waivers shall be in writing,

City's failure to promptly take
this Contract shall not be a
D. This Contract shall run with the land and shall be
recorded against the title to the property. Developer
agrees to record Said Plat in the Wright County
Recorder's Office within three (3) business days of the
execution of this agreement by the City. After the
Developer has completed all work and obligations required
of it under this Contract, at the Developer's request,
the City will execute and deliver to the Developer a
release.
E. The parties acknowledge that the City's wastewater
treatment plant is at or near capacity, that the City is
currently in the process of expanding its wastewater
treatment facility, and that the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency ("MPCA") will not permit additional
hookups to the Albertville sewer system until such time
as the City has expanded its wastewater treatment plant
capacity. While expansion of the wastewater treatment
plant capacity is expected to be completed in January,
1994, Developer acknowledges that there may be unexpected
delays in the completion of said expansion, which in turn
may delay hookup of those lots in Said Plat not currently
permitted by MPCA for hookup to the wastewater system.
Developer agrees to hold the City harmless from any loss
incurred by Developer and its successors or assigns as a
result of delays which may occur in the completion of
said plant capacity expansion and thus the hookup of
Developer's lots, provided the City acts in good faith in
pursuing the completion of said expansion.
F. All water concerns will be handled by the Joint Powers
Water Board. No connections to the water system will be
permitted until the Board has given final approval.
G. The Developers represent to the City that the Plat
complies with all City, county, state and federal laws
and regulations, including but not limited to:
subdivision ordinances, zoning ordinances, and
environmental regulations. If the City determines that
the plat does not comply, the City may, at its option,
refuse to allow construction or development work in the
plat until the Developer so complies. Upon the City's
demand, the Developer shall cease work until there is
compliance.
8
13. Draw on Expiring Letter of Credit. In the event a surety
referred to herein is in the form of an irrevocable letter of
credit, which by its terms may become null and void prior to
the time at which all monetary or other obligations of the
Developer are paid or completed, it is agreed that the
Developer shall provide the City with a new letter of credit
or other surety, acceptable to the City, at least forty-five
(45) days prior to the expiration of the expiring letter of
credit. If a new letter of credit is not received as required
above, the City may declare a default in the terms of this
Agreement and thence draw in part or in total, at the City's
discretion, upon the expiring letter of credit to avoid the
loss of surety for the continued obligation. The form of said
irrevocable letter of credit must be approved by the City
Attorney prior to its issuance.
14. Violation of Agreement.
A. In the case of default by the Developer, its successors
or assigns, of any of the covenants and agreements herein
contained, the City shall give Developer thirty (30) days
mailed notice thereof, and if such default is not cured
within said thirty (30) day period, the City is hereby
granted the right and the privilege to declare any
deficiencies governed by this Agreement due and payable
to the City in full. The thirty (30) day notice period
shall be deemed to run from the date of deposit in the
United States Mail. Upon failure to cure by Developer,
the City may thence immediately and without notice or
consent of the Developer use all of the deposited cash,
irrevocable letter of credit or other surety funds to
complete the Developer's obligations under this
agreement, and to bring legal action against the
Developer to collect any sums due to the City pursuant to
this Agreement, plus all costs and attorney's fees
incurred in enforcing this agreement.
B. Paragraph 14 shall not apply to any acts or rights of the
City under paragraph 13 above, and no notice need be
given to the Developer as a condition precedent to the
City declaring a default or drawing upon the expiring
irrevocable letter of credit as therein authorized. The
City may elect to give notice to Developer of the City's
intent to draw upon the surety without waiving the City's
right to draw upon the surety at a future time without
notice to the Developer.
C. Breach of any of the terms of this Contract by the
Developer shall be grounds for denial of building
permits.
4
15. Dedications to the City.
A. The Developer, upon presentation to the City of evidence
of good and marketable title to Subject Property, and
upon completion of all construction work and
certification of completion by the City Engineer, shall
dedicate all roads and sewers and road right of ways to
the City. Prior to dedication, Developer shall provide
to the City "As-Builts" of all sewers, roads, gas
pipelines, electrical, cable and phone supplies.
Acceptance by City of any dedication shall occur upon
passage of a resolution to such effect by the City
Council. Said dedications shall occur by August 31,
1994.
B. The Developer agrees to pay a park dedication fee in the
amount of $6,120.00 (calculated on the basis of $170.00
per lot times 36 lots). Payment of said fee shall occur
prior to release of the final plat.
16. Phased Development. If the plat is a phase of a multi -phased
preliminary plat, the City may refuse to approve final plats
of subsequent phases until public improvements for all prior
phases have been satisfactorily completed. Development of
subsequent phases may not proceed until Development Contracts
for such phases are approved by the City. Approval of this
phase of the Development shall not be construed as approval of
future phases nor shall approval of this phase bind the City
to approve future Development phases. All future Development
phases shall be governed by the City's Comprehensive Plan,
Zoning ordinance, Subdivision ordinance, and other ordinances
in effect at the time such future Development phases are
approved by the City.
17. Indemnity. Developer shall hold the City and its officers and
employees harmless from claims made by Developer and third
parties for damages sustained or costs incurred resulting from
plat approval and development. The Developer shall indemnify
the City and its officers and employees for all costs, damages
or expenses which the City may pay or incur in consequence of
such claims, including attorney's fees. Third parties shall
have no recourse against the City under this contract.
18. Developer Personally Bound by Contract. Those parties signing
on behalf of Developer (and the Developer, if the Developer is
a different entity than said parties) shall be personally
liable for the fulfillment of all obligations under this
Contract. The obligations of the Developer (and the parties
10
signing on behalf of Developer) under this Contract cannot be
assigned without the express written consent of the City
Council through Council resolution. Upon fulfillment of all
terms of this Developer's Agreement, and upon request by
Developer, the City Council shall execute a release of
Developer from this agreement.
19. Professional Fees. The Developer will pay all reasonable
professional fees incurred by the City as a result of City
efforts to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Said fees
include attorney's fees, engineer's fees, planner's fees, and
any other professional fees incurred by the City in attempting
to enforce the terms of this Agreement. The Developer will
also pay all reasonable attorney's and professional fees
incurred by the City in the event an action is brought upon a
bond or letter of credit furnished by the Developer as
provided herein.
20. Notification Information. Any notices to the parties herein
shall be in writing, delivered by hand (to the City Clerk for
the City) or registered mail addressed as follows to the

RE: Implementation of Wetlands Rules - Status as Local Government Unit
On January 1, 1994, the rules promulgated pursuant to the Wetland Conservation Act of
1991 will take effect. Under these rules, the local government unit (LGU) responsible for
administering the rules is either the County or City in which the wetlands in question are
located. The LGU administering the rules has the responsibility for making exemption and
no -loss determinations, as well as for approving replacement plans.
Wright County expects to receive a 1994 grant from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil
Resources (BWSR) for administration of the Wetland Conservation Act. This grant is
expected to be in the sum of $36,000, with a 1:1 match required from County funds. In
order to insure receipt of this grant, the County must provide BWSR with proof that the
entire County is covered for purposes of administering the Wetlands Conservation Act. The
purpose of this letter is to request that each city in Wright County formally elect to either act
as local government unit (LGU) for purposes of administering the rules, or delegate Wright
County as the LGU for that purpose.
On August 17, 1993, the Wright County Board of Commissioners voted to delegate local
government unit responsibility for Wright County to the Wright Soil and Water Conservation
District (SWCD). The Board also designated any grant funds and other County funds allotted
for such administration to the SWCD. There were two primary reasons for the County's
delegation of responsibility to the SWCD:
Cities in Wright County
PAGE TWO
14 October 1993
1. Staff Resources. The SWCD has personnel on staff who have been
trained in the wetland delineation procedures and who have also been
working with wetland restoration for many years. These personnel are
also familiar with Federal Swampbuster regulations affecting agricultural
areas and can facilitate coordination with the Soil Conservation Service
and ASCS.
2. Physical Resources. The SWCD has direct access to an array of aerial
photographs from different years, which photographs can be used to
ascertain wetland size, type, surrounding land use history and exemption
potential.
For the above reasons, and several others, cities may wish to consider delegating to SWCD
the responsibility to act as LGU for wetlands within their boundaries. Cities should be aware
of the following:
1. The wetlands rules can be difficult to administer. A city electing to be
LGU will need to have a technical evaluation panel ready to meet to
consider individual cases and will need to fund that panel and fulfill
various administrative duties required under the rules. Election to act as
LGU is an "all or nothing proposition". Whether the particular matter is
simple or very complex, the LGU will need to administer the rules.
2. The SWCD will be involved in many wetlands cases whether the city is
LGU or not. The rules provide that the SWCD must provide one member
of any technical evaluation panel and the SWCD is mandated to prepare
a restoration plan once a cease and desist order has been issued by the
enforcement authority (usually the DNR).
3. Having one LGU covering the entire County would facilitate a more even-
handed application of the wetlands rules across the County. This should
provide for more equitable treatment for all Wright County citizens and
proposed developments. Those persons involved in development would
only need to learn one process and deal with one set of officials
regarding wetlands on a County -wide basis.
4. The total cost to all units of government for administering this program
could likely be substantially reduced if one LGU provides administration
for the entire County.
In order to prepare for implementation of the rules on January 1, 1994, we are requesting
that each city determine whether it intends to exercise LGU status for purposes of the
Wetland Conservation Act. We are asking that you respond, if at all possible, by
Cities in Wright County

November 15, 1993. Notice of your council action (a Resolution or copy of the Minutes)
should be sent to the SWCD at the address listed below. This Notice should also be sent to
the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources at:

If you have questions regarding the LGU election process or about the wetlands rules in
general, please feel free to contact either of the parties identified below. If you do not have
a copy of the final wetlands rules as approved earlier this year, you should be able to obtain
a copy by contacting BWSR at 296-3767. If you think it would be beneficial to have a
County representative attend your Council meeting to answer questions, we will attempt to
do that as well.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Subdivision 1. Form. Every application for a license to sell
liquor shall state the name of the applicant, his age,
representations as to his character (with such references as the
Council may require), his citizenship, the type of license applied
for, the business in connection with which the proposed license
will operate and its location, whether the applicant is owner and
operator of the business, how long he has been in that business at
that place, and such other information as the Council may require
from time to time. Every application shall also include a copy of
each summons received by the applicant under Minnesota Statutes
Section 340A.802 during the preceding year. (M.S. 340.409, Subd.
8.) In addition to containing such information, the application
shall be in the form prescribed by the bureau of criminal
apprehension and shall be verified and filed with the City Clerk.
No person shall make a false statement in an application.
Subdivision 2. Bond. Each application for a license shall be
accompanied by a surety bond, or in lieu thereof, cash or United

Minnesota Statutes Section 340A.412, Subd. 1. Such surety bond or
other security shall be in the sum of for an
applicant for an "on -sale license and for an

the statutes, Section 340A.801. Such proof shall be filed with the
commissioner of public safety. Any liability insurance policy
filed as proof of financial responsibility under this subdivision

the case of applicants for "off -sale" licenses, by the state

required by this ordinance but not by state law and surety bonds
required under Subdivision 2 shall be approved as to form by the
City Attorney. Operation of a licensed business without having on
file with the City al all times effective security as required in
Subdivisions 2 is a cause for revocation of the license.
Section 4. License Fees.
Subdivision 1. Fees. The annual fee for a liquor license
shall be $2000.00 for an "on -sale" license, $10.00 for a temporary
"on -sale" liquor license, $100.00 for an "off -sale" liquor license,
and $200.00 for a special license for Sunday liquor sales. These
fees may be changed from time to time by resolution of the City
Council.
Subdivision 2. Payment. Each application for a license shall
be accompanied by a receipt, from the city clerk for payment of one
half of the fee for the "on -sale" licenses and payment in full for
the "off -sale" license. All fees shall be paid into the general
fund. If an application for a license is rejected, the City Clerk
shall refund the amount, paid as the license fee less any charges
for administrative fees.
Subdivision 3. Term; Pro Rata Fee. Each license shall be
issued for a period of one year except that if the application is
made during the license year, a license may be issued for the
remainder of the year for a pro rates fee, with any unexpired
fraction of a month being counted as one month. Every license
shall expire on the 14th day of April.
Subdivision 4. Refunds. No refund of any fee shall be made
except, as authorized by statute.
Section 5. Granting of Licenses.
Subdivision 1. Preliminary Investigation. Application shall
be made on a form prescribed by the state bureau of criminal
apprehension and with such additional information as the council
may require. If the council deems it in the public interest to
have an investigation made on a particular application for renewal
of an on -sale license, it shall so determine. In any case, if the
council determines that a comprehensive background and financial
investigation of the applicant is necessary, it may conduct the
investigation itself or contract with the bureau of criminal
investigation for the investigation. No license shall be issued,
transferred, or renewed if the results show to the satisfaction of
the council that issuance would not be in the public interest. If
an investigation outside the state is required, the applicant shall
be charged the cost, not to exceed $10,000, which shall be paid by
the applicant. The fee shall be payable by the applicant whether
or not the license is granted.
Subdivision 2. Hearing and Issuance. The City Council shall
investigate all facts set out in the application and not
investigated in the preliminary background and financial
investigation pursuant to Subdivision 1. Opportunity shall be
given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the
license. After the investigation and hearing, the council shall,
in its discretion, grant or refuse the application. No "off -;male"
license shall become effective until it, together with the security
furnished by the applicant, has been approved by the commissioner
of public safety.
Subdivision 3. Person and Premises Licensed; Transfer. Each
license shall be issued only to the applicant and for the premises
described in the application. No license may be transferred to
another person or place without City Council approval. Any
transfer of stock of a corporate licensee is deemed a transfer of
the license, and a transfer of stock without prior council approval
is a ground for revocation of the license.
Section 8. Persons Ineligible for License. No license shall be
granted to any person made ineligible for such a license by state
law. Not more than one intoxicating liquor license shall be
directly or indirectly issued within the city to any one person.
Section 7. Places Ineliai.ble for License.
Subdivision 1. General Prohibition. No license shall be
issued for any place or any business ineligible for such a license
under state law.
Subdivision 2. Delinquent Taxes and Charges. No license
shall be granted for operation on any premises on which taxes,
assessments, or other financial claims of the city are delinquent
and unpaid.
Section 8. Conditions of License.
Subdivision 1. In General. Every license is subject, to the
conditions in the following subdivisions and all other provisions
of this ordinance and of any other applicable ordinance, state law,
or regulation.
Subdivision 2. Insurance. Compliance with financial
responsibility requirements of state law and of this ordinance is
a continuing condition of any license granted pursuant to this
ordinance.
Subdivision 3. Licensee's Responsibility. Every licensee is
responsible for the conduct in the licensed establishment, and any
sale of alcoholic beverages by any employee authorized to sell such
beverages in the establishment is the act of the licensee.
Subdivision 4. Inspections. Every licensee shall allow any
peace officer, health officer, or properly designated officer or
employee of the city to enter, inspect, and search the premises of
the licensee during business hours without a warrant.
Subdivision 5. Display During Prohibited Hours. No "on -sale"
establishment shall display liquor to the public during hours when
the sale of liquor is prohibited.
Section 9. Restrictions on Purchase and Consumption.
Subdivision 1. Liquor in Unlicensed Places. No person shall
mix or prepare liquor for consumption in any public place or place
of business unless it has a license to sell liquor "on -sale" or a
permit from the commissioner of public safety under Minnesota
Statutes Section 343A.414 and no person shall consume liquor in any
such place.
Subdivision 2. Consumption in public places. No person shall
have on his person while in a private motor vehicle upon a public
highway, any bottle or receptacle containing liquor which has been
opened, or the seal broken, or the contents of which have been
partially removed. The owner of a private motor vehicle or the
driver, if the owner is not present, shall not keep or allow to be
kept in a motor vehicle upon a public highway any other bottle or
receptacle containing liquor unless it is kept in the trunk of the
motor vehicle, or, if the vehicle has no trunk, in some other area
of the motor vehicle not normally occupied by the driver or
passengers.
Section 10. Suspension and Revocation. The council shall either
suspend for up to 60 day or revoke any liquor license, or impose a
civil fine not to exceed $2,000, for each violation upon finding
that the licensee has failed to comply with any applicable statute,
regulation, or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages. Except
in cases of failure of financial responsibility no suspension or
revocation shall take effect until the licensee has been afforded
an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Sections 14.57 to 14.70 of the administrative procedure act.
Lapse of required dram shop insurance or bond, or withdrawal
of a required deposit of cash or securities, shall effect an
immediate suspension of any license issued pursuant to this
ordinance without further action of the city council. Notice of
cancellation, lapse of a current liquor liability policy or bond,
or withdrawal of deposited cash or securities shall also constitute
notice to the licensee of the impending suspension of the license.
The holder of a license who has received notice of lapse of
required insurance or bond, or withdrawal of a required deposit, or
of suspension or revocation of a license, may request a hearing
thereon and if such a request is made in writing to the clerk a
hearing shall be granted within 10 days or such longer period as
may be requested. Any suspension under this paragraph shall
continue until the city council determines that, the financial
responsibility requirements of this ordinance have again been met.
Section 11. Penalty. Any person violating any provision of this
ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be
punished by a fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment in the
County jail for not more than 90 days, or both, plus the cost of
prosecution in any case.
