ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
February 7, 1994
Page 2 of 5
explained that the buyer of the property has been unable to make
an agreement with Doug and Beatrice Psyk to extend the sewer mains
up to this property. Since extending the sewer lines through the
Psyk property is the most desirable method of serving the Heuring
property, Leming asked the Council to consider condemnation of
approximately 1000' of Psyk's property for an easement for a sewer
line. The Council will take Leming's request under consideration
at another time.
Pam Roden addressed the City Council regarding her resignation
letter dated January 12, 1994. She has served on the Park Board
for approximately 18 months. She detailed her reasons for her
decision to resign and stated she felt that the Park Board was
unable to accomplish goals. Park Board Member Kevin McIntosh
explained that the Park Board member do not have an understanding
of what the job of the Park Board should be and would like to meet
with the City Council to discuss the issue. Anderson made a motion
to set a special joint meeting with the Park Board on Thursday,
February 17, 1994, at 7:00 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
AOON Anderson made a motion to accept with regret Pam Roden's
resignation from the Park Board. Berning seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Jeff Kopp asked the Council how it planned to deal with the
condemnation request from Judy Leming. Councilmember Berning
requested that Attorney Mike Couri and City Engineer Pete Carlson
look into the issue to determine what is in the best interests of
the City and provided their recommendations in correspondence to
the Council.
Anderson made a motion to recess the meeting at 8:10 PM and
meet in a closed session to discuss litigation regarding the Ralph
Ackerman lawsuit and the 50th Street assessment appeals. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Mayor Potter reconvened the regular meeting of the City
Council at 8:45 PM.
Ken Lindsay discussed the number of times the Park Shelter
alarm has gone off. The problem is that the building is not being
locked at night. He explained that two people had agreed to lock
the shelter at night, but it has remained unlocked frequently.
Mayor Potter or Park Board Chairman Mary Vetsch will make sure the
building is locked.
/'N Potter made a motion to allow Ken to attend the Innovative
Approaches to Wastewater Operational Problems seminar on February
22, 1994, at a cost of $30. Barthel seconded the motion.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
February 7, 1994
Page 3 of 5
Councilmember Vetsch stated that he feels that since the seminar
benefits the employee as well that the employee should pay at least
a portion of the costs. Engineer Pete Carlson advised the Council
that the upgraded wastewater treatment plant will require more
training and education for the operator and operators can benefit
greatly from discussions with other wastewater operators at these
seminars. Mayor Potter called for a vote on the motion. Berning,
Anderson, Potter and Barthel voted aye. Vetsch voted no. The
motion carried.
Ken reported that the John Deere tractor has required some
repair work resulting from damage occurring when cleaning the
sidewalks. Another problem encountered in cleaning the sidewalks
have been garbage cans that are left on the sidewalk. The Council
asked Linda to send letters to the residents of Main Street and
50th Street asking for their cooperation in removing the garbage
cans from the sidewalk as soon as possible.
Engineer Pete Carlson reported that he had discussed the
realignment of the intersection of County Road 19 and 37 with
Wright County Engineer Wayne Fingalson. Since the County had not
budgeted funds for this project, Fingalson has advised that the
City adopt a resolution requesting the realignment that he can
present to the Wright County Commissioners. Pete indicated that
if the County agrees to realign the intersection, some financial
participation from the City will probably be requested.
Anderson made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1994-2 requesting
the County to realign the intersection of County Road 37 and 19.
Berning seconded the motion. Berning, Anderson, Potter and Barthel
voted aye. Vetsch voted no, stating that he was unwilling to vote
for a resolution that could cost the City financially. The motion
carried.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
the period January 14 - February 1 as presented. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve payroll checks #1009 -1014 and
Check #'s 8208 - 8241. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted
aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the application for
Authorization for Exemption from Lawful Gambling License for the
School of St. John's Prep Alumni Organization. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve a 3.2 Liquor License for St.
John's Prep Alumni Association for an event to be held at the St.
Albert's Parish Center from 5:00 PM to midnight April 23, 1994.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL

Page 4 of 5
Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Joint Powers AGreement for
the administration of the Wetlands Conservation Act with the WRight
Soil and Water Conservation District. Barthel seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Councilmember Anderson recommended that the Council check into
hiring an interim administrator who can assist in Planning & Zoning
issue and in Economic Development. She has been in contact with
Dale Powers, who is willing to consider the position for six
months, with no prospect of continued employment beyond that time.
Attorney Couri advised the Council that the City is not required
to advertise for a position. The Council could request that Powers
waive his rights under the Data Privacy Act and conduct an
interview at a public meeting. He further advised that the Council
set the format for the interview beforehand.
Anderson made a motion to tentatively set up an interview with
Dale Powers to be conducted at a public meeting held on either
Tuesday, February 15, or Friday, February 18, at 7:00 PM. No
decision on hiring will be made at this meeting. Berning seconded
the motion. All voted aye. Linda will post notice of the meeting
as soon as it has been determined.
Linda was asked to get more information on the services of the
two consulting firms she has contacted in regards to long range
goal planning meetings.
Linda presented the premium costs for the Open Meeting legal
fees insurance available. The premium is based on 1 1/2% of the
City's total liability, or $500, whichever is smaller. Anderson
made a motion to purchase the insurance coverage for the City
Council at a cost of $500 per year. Vetsch seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
Councilmembers Vetsch and Berning stated they will both
abstain from the discussion and vote regarding the proposal from
Vetsch Custom Cabinets for shelving in the file room at City Hall.
Anderson made a motion to accept the proposal to construct shelving
and to remodel one cabinet in the conference room from Vetsch
Custom Cabinets as a cost of $656.00. Barthel seconded the motion.
Anderson, Potter and Barthel voted aye. Vetsch and Berning
abstained. The motion carried.
The Council agreed discontinue the rental of the pop machine
in the old City Hall.
The easement over the Rich Miller property was discussed.
Couri recommended that in the future the clerk and the engineer
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
February 7, 1994
Page 5 of 5
should be present when easement are attained to avoid differing
opinions on what was agreed upon. The question to be addressed is
to determine if the drainage Swale is in fact constructed within
the easement area. The Council referred the question to Engineer
Pete Carlson.
Potter made a motion to approve the cost -sharing formula, the
release form, and the temporary construction easement as proposed
by the Otsego Creek Authority. Berning seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Attorney Couri was directed to get information regarding
converting the old city hall into a community center to Linda this
week for the Council to review at the next meeting.
Berning made a motion to approve the appointment of Sharon
Anderson to the Planning Commission and the appointment of Albert
Barthel to the Park Board effective March 1, 1994, as recommended
by Mayor Potter. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
There was no additional business and Mayor Potter adjourned
the meeting at 10:30 PM.

December 20, 1993, and January 3, 1994, meetings as presented.

approve the minutes of the January 10, 1994, meeting as amended.
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council discussed Rich Miller's concerns over the easement
he signed for the 50th Street project. Miller claims that before
he signed the easement, he was promised a second driveway, which
he did not get. He is looking for some compensation for the
approximate 1200 square foot easement that he signed. Linda was
directed to contact Meyer-Rohlin and get the original plan notes
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
January 20, 1994
Page 2 of 6
from the Miller property. Linda will also get copies of all other
easements granted for the construction of 50th Street. The Council
will discuss the issue at the next meeting.
Because the attorney was not yet present, the Council moved
onto the Administration agenda.
Berning made a motion to approve the Financial Statements from
December 16 - December 31, 1993, and from January 1 - January 12,
1994, as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.

Berning made a motion to approve 1994 Gaming Licenses for the
following businesses:
Albertville Bar - 6 machines
152 Club - 5 machines
Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Councilmember Anderson questioned whether the City should
continue to allow employees to accrue comp time rather than paying
overtime directly. Linda explained that the City would pay
additional payroll taxes if straight overtime were paid each pay
period. Linda stated she personally prefers to accruing comp time
and having the option of taking an afternoon or a day off
occasionally. The policy is that employees can accrue only up to
24 hours of comp before they are required to be paid for the
overtime. Anderson indicated that she felt the Council would have
a better handle on overtime hours if the employees were paid
straight overtime. Anderson made a motion that employees be denied
comp time and be paid at an overtime rate for additional hours.
The motion died for a lack of a second. Councilmember Vetsch
requested that the Council review the comp time issue again in six
months.
The Council discussed the proposal from The Brimeyer Group to
recruit an administrator. Linda expressed the opinion that the
Council may be premature in contracting with a group to locate an
administrator when the Council may not have clear objectives or
goals in mind. She suggested that the Council consider the option
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
January 20, 1994
Page 3 of 6
that Jim Brimeyer discussed regarding a goal setting and objective
planning session with the Council and the other various boards to
establish a plan. Councilmember Berning indicated that a person
had contacted him concerning a part-time administrator's position.
He indicated that he is not convinced that a person willing to
accept a part-time administrator cannot be located.
Resident Jim Walsh told the Council he is agreement with the
City establishing a goal and objective plan and there are other
firms that assist companies with that project. His firm used a
consultant to assist in this area and he is willing to give that
person's name to the City to contact.
The Council concurred that Linda should check out what
resources are available to assist Cities in setting goals and
objectives by contacting the League of Minnesota Cities. She was
also directed to contact The Brimeyer Group to get a cost estimate
for their services in a planning session. Jim Walsh will provide
the source his firm used and Linda wi11 contact that firm as well.
The Council will consider the available information at the next
Council meeting.
Berning made a motion to approve the contract with Diversified
Inspection Services for 1994 as presented. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to approve the contract with Wright
Recycling services for 1994 at a $600 per month cost. Vetsch
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Linda explained that she had reviewed the 1994 budget and
could find no area other than a capital outlay item where money
could be moved to cover the increase in the recycling costs from
$435 a month to $600 per month. The Council suggested that the
maintenance department could do without a pressure washer that was
budgeted, since there is one at the expanded wastewater treatment
plant. Linda will discuss the question with the maintenance
deparmtne and make a recommendation for amending the 1994 budget
to cover the additional expense in recycling.
Vetsch made a motion to set a special meeting for February 7,
1994, for the purpose of amending the 1994 budget to include the
increased recycling costs.
City Attorney Mike Couri reviewed the Indemnification
Agreement with Kenco, Inc. for Parkside 2nd Addition. City
Engineer Pete Carlson recommends that gravel should be down before
building permits are issued. However, the Certificate of Occupancy
is always the leverage that can be used to insure that the street
is completed. Couri explained that according to the Developer's
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
January 20, 1994
Page 4 of 6
Agreement June 30th is the deadline for completion of the first
lift of blacktop. The Council concurred that the Indemnification
Agreement will expire on its own on August 31,1 994.
Attorney Couri reviewed the Legal Services Contract with the
Council. The contract will be amended to include that Radzwill Law
Office will make available to the City proof of its Errors and
Omissions Insurance coverage. Anderson made a motion to approve
the Legal Services Contract with Radzwill Law Office for 1994 as
amended. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Couri next reviewed the contract for engineering services for
1994 with RCM. The contract is based on standard engineering
guidelines. Pete Carlson told that Council that at their
discretion he would write give the Council a memo regarding his
estimate of hours needed and the projected cost of his work. Couri
recommended that the Council contracts all engineering work on an
hourly basis, unless the Council chooses to use a total project
cost. CArlson indicated that he prefers to use a not -to -exceed
figure when going on the hourly rate. Couri also recommends that
the engineer provide the City proof of Errors and Omission
insurance. Vetsch made a motion to approve the contract with RCM
with the amendments as recommended by Attorney Couri. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Mayor Potter updated the Council on the joint meeting with
Pete Carlson, Thore Meyer and Norm Gartner. The result of the
meeting is that Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. will complete the projects
currently under construction. The projects to be completed by
Meyer-Rohlin are Psyk's 5th, Hardwood Ponds 2nd, Westwind 3rd,
Parkside 1st and 2nd, 50th Street, expansion of wastewater
treatment facility, sewer upgrade project on Main Avenue, the
Savitski ditch cleanout and Barthel Commercial Park. The projects
that have been discussed, but are not at this point under
construction, will be under the direction of RCM. These include
the Frankfort/MNDoT/Albertville Drainage project, the I-94 water
and sewer crossing and the Otsego Creek agreement.
Mayor Potter presented a letter of appreciation to Ken Lindsay
recognizing his efforts to plow snow even though he was under
doctor's orders to stay home from work.
Linda was directed to get further information on the new
insurance available for public officials to pay legal expenses
against charges of violation of the Open Meeting Law.
The Council agreed to have the thermostat in the Park Shelter
building moved to an area inaccessible to the general public at a
cost of approximately $50.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
January 20, 1994
Page 5 of 6
The Council discussed having the City staff prepare a semi-
annual newsletter in the spring and fall. The Council agreed that
the newsletter should be sent out in May and October. Linda will
contact each City board to get articles of interest for the
newsletter.
Vetsch made a motion to accept the proposal from Franklin
Outdoor Sign to letter the door and to change the exterior sign for
City Hall in the amount of $566.00. Berning seconded the motion.
All voted aye.
The Council again discussed whether to pursue hiring an
administrator for the City. Councilmember Vetsch stated that he
thinks an administrator is needed somewhere along the line but he
is not sure whether the City needs a full-time or a part-time
administrator. Howard Larson feels that the City first needs to
review the Comprehensive Plan and determine exactly what the City
is looking for before any decision is reached.
As discussed earlier in the meeting, Linda will gather
information on what services are available to aid the City is
setting goals and objectives.
Mayor Potter stated that he feels the City currently requires
between 1.5 and 1.75 employees in each of the Administrative and
Maintenance Departments. He proposed to reclassify the secretarial
position and the maintenance helper position from permanent full-
time to permanent part-time at five hours per day. Linda pointed
out that the fourth lowest employee per capita in the state is
Brooklyn Park and they have 3.65 employees per 1000 residents.
Based on that formula and an estimated 1993 population of 1500, the
City would employ 5.5 employees, compared to its four current
employees.
Jim Walsh stated that he has the feeling that this Council
is on a "witch hunt" and is looking for a reason to get rid of each
of the current employees. Councilmember Berning stated he does not
agree with Walsh's comments.
Howard Larson stated that since the City hired its current
employees on a 8-hour per day basis, he feels it is unfair and
unbusiness-like for the Council to cut back employee hours without
giving the employees some prior notification.
Kathy Hanson questioned why the Council chooses not to invest
in their current employees by educating them in specific areas.
There was no further discussion or decision reached regarding
employee status.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
January 20, 1994

Mayor Potter also brought up that he feels the Zoning
Administrator should attend all Planning Commission meetings.
Linda explained that it had been policy for her not to attend the
meetings, however, she meets with the planner monthly to discuss
projects coming before the Commission and she meets with Ann after
each Commission meeting to discuss and review the actions. Howard
Larson, a member of the Planning Commission, stated that since he
has been on the Commission, he is unaware of any problems that have
resulted from Linda not being at the meeting and he has never been
disappointed in how the meetings are handled.
Attorney Couri suggested that two Councilmembers meet with
Linda to discuss the situation and work out the details together.
Mayor Potter and Councilmember Berning will meet with Linda.
Linda was directed to contact Kerry Saxton from the Soil
Conservation District to see how to get aerial photos of the City.
Berning made a motion to adjourn at 10:45 PM. Anderson
seconded the motion. All voted aye.

CITY OF ALBERTVILLE
RESOLUTION #1994-2
WHEREAS, the intersection of County Road 37 and County Road
19 is in close proximity to a railroad crossing located on County
Road 19, and
WHEREAS, there is insufficient distance between the
intersection and the railroad crossing for school buses making left
turns from County Road 37 onto County Road 19 to straighten the bus
before stopping for the railroad crossing, and
WHEREAS, the volume of vehicular traffic has increased
considerably since the intersection of County Road 37 and County
Road 19 was constructed, and
WHEREAS, the City of Albertville, Independent School District
#885 and Don's Bus Service are in agreement that the intersection
creates a potential safety hazard to school children riding the
buses, and
WHEREAS, there currently is undeveloped land immediately south
of County Road 37, which could be acquired for the purpose of
realigning the intersection,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the
City of Albertville to request that Wright County take immediate
action to realign County Road 37 before the property to the south
of the road is developed.

OF FEBRUARY, 1994.

Albertville City Council

Albertville, MN 55301
Dear Council Members;
I have served on the City's Park Board for approximately 18
months. I applied for the appointment, because I want to im-
prove the safety, use and enjoyment of our City's Parks.
For the Park Board to try to reach some of its goals, we made
numerous requests of the City Clerk and the Maintenance De-
partment. We asked that they perform a few small tasks that
I believe were a part of their jobs. Cooperation was prom-
ised several times, with little results. I do not believe
this appointment is to make sure that all those mentioned
above do their job, they have job descriptions for that pur-
pose. Due to the lack of cooperation from the City Clerk and
the Maintenance Department, I resign my position on the Park
Board.
Thank you to the City Council an
of you have questions regarding
free to call me (428-4181 daytime
Sincerely,
Pam Roden
d Park Board Members. If any
my decision to resign, feel
or 497-3239 evenings).

OPEN MEETING LAW DEFENSE COST REIMBURSEMENT COVERAGE
NOW AVAILABLE
Beginning November 151 1993, LMCIT is offering an new Open
Meeting Law Defense Cost coverage. This optional coverage will
reimburse city officials for 80% of the legal costs they incur
to defend themselves if they are charged with violating the Open
Meeting Law.
This new coverage is quite different from anything LMCIT (or
anyone else, for that matter) has done before. We'll try in
this memo to answer some of the questions that will come up when
city officials are deciding whether this coverage makes sense
for their city.
I. Why is this needed? Doesn't our existing LMCIT coverage
apply to Open Meeting Law claims?
Generally, no. The LMCIT liability coverage is designed to
respond to claims for damages. The Open Meeting Law doesn't
provide for damages; it provides for a $100 civil penalty, and
loss of office for repeated violations. Fines and penalties are
not "damages" for purposes of the liability coverage, and LMCIT
therefor generally has no duty to get involved in defending Open
Meeting Law charges under the liability coverage.
The only exception is if the Open Meeting Law charge is combined
with a claim for damages that is covered under the liability
coverage. For instance, if an employee brought a wrongful
termination action against a city, the employee might also
charge that there was a violation of the open meeting law as
part of the termination process. In that case, LMCIT would be
responsible for defending the entire litigation - the Open
Meeting Law charge as well as the covered liability claim. But
an Open Meeting Law charge by itself is not a claim for damages,
and the LMCIT liability coverage would therefor not respond.
II. Why provide coverage for this type of exposure?
One of LMCIT's member cities asked the Trust Board to consider
adding this kind of coverage. The request grew out of an
instance in which several council members incurred very
substantial legal bills defending themselves against an Open
Meeting Law charge.
The Trust Board recognized that defending an Open Meeting Law
charge can cost a city official a lot of money. Defense costs
are often the most significant financial consequence of these
lawsuits. While the statutory penalty of $100 might be
relatively minor, defense costs can easily run to thousands of
dollars. And those costs are incurred whether or not the
official is ultimately found to have violated the law.
The Board acted on the assumption that most violations of the
law are inadvertent and may even be on the advice of an
attorney. The Board also realized that is easy for somebody to
make an accusation of an Open Meeting Law violation, forcing the
city council member to expend significant sums to defend
him/herself regardless of the merits of the allegation. The
threat of that kind of litigation could even be used as a tactic
to intimidate or coerce council members in some cases. Finally,
the Board assumed that most city councilmembers act in good
faith and try to comply with the law. But sometimes even these
best faith efforts are not enough to head off an Open Meeting
Law lawsuit.
III. Why should public funds be used to pay for defending
someone who actually did violate the Open Meeting Law? Doesn't
this encourage city officials to violate the law?
The legislature has spelled out in the statute what the
penalties are for violating the law: a $100 civil penalty,
potential loss of office for repeated violations, and possibly
an award of the plaintiff's attorneys' fees in some cases. If
the individual has to pay for his/her own defense costs as well,
the real monetary penalty to the individual can be many times
greater that the penalty the legislature provided in the
statute. And how much those defense costs are may not have much
relation to how serious the violation was.
If more serious penalties are needed to deter violations, the
legislature can change the statutes. That makes more sense than
relying on defense costs as a kind of hidden penalty that might
be wildly disproportionate to the seriousness of the offense,
and are incurred even if there was no offense.
Iv. Why is the coverage optional? Why not simply provide it
as a standard part of the liability coverage?
The LMCIT Board recognized that there are good public policy
reasons why a city might want to protect its officials from this
risk. But the Board also recognized that some cities might
consider it inappropriate to use their taxpayers' funds for this
purpose. Making the coverage optional lets each city make this
call for itself.
V. What does the Open Meeting Law Defense Cost Reimbursement
Agreement cover?
Under the new coverage, LMCIT will reimburse a city
official for 80% of the defense cost incurred by the city
official in defending an Open Meeting Law lawsuit. The Open
Meeting Law Defense Costs Reimbursement Agreement is limited to
$20,000. This is the most LMCIT will reimburse any one city
official for defense costs for Open Meeting Law lawsuits
commenced during the term of the coverage agreement, regardless
of the number of lawsuits or the number of actual alleged
violations.
VI. What doesn't it cover?
There are two major kinds of costs for which this coverage would
not reimburse the official:
1. Any fine or penalty for violating the open meeting law.
2. Any award that orders the city official to pay for the
opposing party's attorney's fees.
As an example, suppose a newspaper is successful in bringing an
open meeting claim against a city official. The judge awards a
$100 penalty against the official and also orders the official
to pay the attorneys fees incurred by the newspaper in bringing
the claim. The new coverage would not pay or reimburse either
the penalty or the attorneys fees awarded.
Note too that this coverage would not cover any legal costs that
the city might incur if the city itself were a party to the
Open Meeting Law litigation - unless, of course, it was part of
a suit that also included a covered claim for damages, as
discussed earlier.
VII. How will the Open Meeting Law Defense Cost Reimbursement
Agreement work?
The coverage is significantly different from other coverage
provided under the standard LMCIT coverage agreements in a
couple important ways. First, unlike LMCIT's liability
coverages, the Open Meeting Law coverage does not pay the legal
costs on the city official's behalf. Instead, LMCIT will
reimburse the city official for 80% of those costs, to a maximum
of $20,000, after the official has incurred those costs. The
city official remains responsible for paying his/her defense
attorney, including the 20% which LMCIT will not reimburse as
well as any costs over $20,000.
Second, the city official retains control of the litigation.
The city official makes the decisions on what attorney to hire,
whether to settle or compromise the litigation, whether to
appeal, etc.
The coverage is triggered when a lawsuit is served on the city
official alleging a violation of the Minnesota Open Meeting Law.
If a lawsuit is filed during that term of the agreement, the
city official has to do two things:
I. Notify LMCIT of the litigation; and
2. Select defense counsel.
vIII. How much will this coverage cost?
Initially, we'll be basing the charge for this coverage on the
premium for the city's liability coverage. Generally, the cost
will be 1.5% of the liability premium, subject to a $500 minimum
premium. In an individual city's case the premium could be
somewhat higher if in the underwriter's judgement there is a
substantially higher risk of Open Meeting Law claims in that
city, though we expect this to be rare.
I%. How do we go about adding this coverage for our city?
Have your agent contact LMCIT's underwriters at Berkley Risk
Services and ask for an application form. The underwriters will
be able to return quote fairly quickly.
%. whom can we call if we have other questions?
If you need additional information or have other questions, you
can contact Tom Grundhoefer or Pete Tritz at the League office,
or call the underwriter at Berkley Risk Services who handles
your city. We'd also appreciate any comments or suggestions
city officials have for ways this coverage could be improved, or
for any other changes cities would like LMCIT to consider.

Albertville City Hall
7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mike Potter, Larry Fournier, Floyd Roden, Albert
Barthel, Carl Swenson, Howard Larson, Engineers Larry Koshak and
Pete Carlson, Clerk Linda Houghton
Chairman Roden called the meeting to order.
Fournier made a motion to approve the minutes of the January
6, 1994, meeting as presented. Swenson seconded the motion. All
voted aye.
Potter made a motion to approve the minutes from the January
13, 1994, meeting with DNR officials held at the DNR office in St.
Cloud. Fournier seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Larry Koshak presented an overview of that meeting. He
explained that the hydrology study and the aerial maps were
presented to the DNR. It was stressed that the effort to clean the
Otsego Creek was a cooperative effort by Otsego and Albertville.
The DNR was concerned that the plans included deepening and or
changing the route of the creek. The DNR was assured that this is
not a part of the current efforts. Routine maintenance of the
creek, including cleaning the channel and removing debris from the
channel, does not require a permit from the DNR. Any proposal to
change the route of the creek does require a permit from the DNR.
Koshak explained that one area between 87th and 83rd Streets in
Otsego may be a candidate for change, as well as an area south of
Mud Lake. Koshak added that prior to consideration of making any
change to the channel route, property owners would have to be
contacted. However, there are not plans at this time for this
work.
Koshak further explained that the DNR is concerned that
wildlife habitation will be destroyed and they will require a site
inspection by a wildlife habitation person prior to the removal of
dead trees, etc.
Koshak presented his Report on Cost Sharing Analysis and
Formula (copy attached). The report proposes a method of cost
sharing for the expenditures incurred in the study of and
improvement of the Otsego Creek. The City of Otsego will bear 100%
of the costs associated with the areas south of 83rd Street.
Calculations were based on the use of the Cn factor (Pages 2-
5 of the attached report) . This factor represents the formula used
by the Soil Conservation District relating to runoff. Cn factors
are based on the type of soils and surfaces in particular areas.
Koshak gave the example that impervious surfaces, such as concrete
or blacktop, has a Cn factor of 98. This means that approximately
OTSEGO CREEK AUTHORITY
Janaury 31, 1994
Page 2 of 3
98% of the water that falls on impervious surfaces runs off.
Three scenarios were calculated for the cost sharing formula
to be used to allocate the costs between the City of Otsego and the
Authority (Page 6 of the attached report). These three are:
(1) percentage of major culverts in each area,
(2) percentage of creek length in each area, and
(3) percentage of acres in each area.
Since using the major culvert and length of creek basis were most
comparable, these methods were applied and 44% of the costs were
assigned to the City of Otsego and 56% of the costs were assigned
to the Authority.
An average Cn factor was used in the calculations on Page 7
of the attached report to determine the cost shares within the
Authority based on the number of acres in each city. Additionally
Albertville's wastewater treatment facility was factored in at its
capac_:ty of 315,000 gallons per day to determine total acre feet.
The calculations determine that the City of Otsego bears 80.80% of
the Authority's costs and the City of Albertville bears 19.20% of
the Authority's costs.
Koshak recommended that approval or disapproval of the
formulas used be determined at the next Authority meeting and then
taken back to the full Councils for consideration. Koshak also
recommended that a representative from both Monticello Township and
Frankfort Township be invited to attend the next Authority meeting
for informational purposes.
Fournier sated that this presentation, the formulas appears
fair. Larson made a motion that the Authority approves the concept
of the formulas used and pass that on to the Councils for their
official approval. Potter seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Larson questioned who is responsible to contact MNDoT to see
if they are willing to participate in the cost allocations. The
Authority concurred that it is each City's responsibility to
contact MNDoT regarding their respective areas.
Koshak next presented the Release Form drafted by Any
MacArthur of the Radzwill Law Office (copy attached). The Release
Form will be amended at line 4 to read ". . .hold harmless the City
of Otsego and the Otsego Creek Authority from any and all claims.
.". Potter made a motion to approve the Release Form as
amended. Fournier seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Potter made a motion to approve the City of Otsego Temporary
Construction Easement form as drafted by Radzwill Law Firm.
Swenson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
OTSEGO CREEK AUTHORITY
Janaury 31, 1994
Page 3 of 3
Potter made a motion to authorize the City of Otsego staff to
proceed with securing the necessary easements, contingent upon both
City Councils approval. If either or both City Councils do no
approve the release form and the temporary easement form, another
meeting of the Authority will be called. Fournier seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Pete Carlson suggested that an informational meeting be
conducted with the affected residents to discuss the temporary
easement and release form in an attempt to get most necessary
signatures as soon as possible.
Potter made a motion to conduct an informational meeting with
the public on Thursday, February 24, at 8:00 PM in the Otsego City
Hall. Larson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Koshak presented a draft bid form. Because the anticipated
costs does not exceed $25,000, there is no requirement to procure
sealed bids. The Authority can solicit quotes instead. The
Authority will publish notice that quotes are being solicited. The
Authority's consensus is that fallen wood removal on the bid form
will be defined by stations and flagging and the contractor will
be asked for a lump sum bid.
In order to speed up the process and complete the work before
spring, Potter agreed to amend his motion and set the informational
meeting on February 10, 1994. Larson agreed to second the amended
motion. All voted aye.
Roden and Fournier agreed to set up a special Otsego CIty
Council meeting prior to the informational meeting on February 10
to secure Council approval. The City of Albertville will consider
approval of all proposals at their February 7, 1994, meeting.
Chairman Roden called for a short meeting of the Authority
immediately following the informational meeting on February 10 to
review the final bid form.
:Larson made a motion to adjourn at 9:15 PM. Barthel seconded
the motion. All voted aye.

RE: Otsego Creek
RCM Project No. 10238.01
DATE: February 3, 1994
I contacted Lori VanDerhider, Hydraulics Engineer from MnDOT in their Brainerd Office,
regarding MnDOT cost participation for cleaning out Otsego Creek. After discussing with her
superiors, Lori told me that even though MnDOT has approximately 1,000 feet of right-of-way within
the watershed, unless the drainage within Otsego Creek is backing up into MnDOT'S right-of-way
MnDOT will not participate in the cost of cleaning out Otsego Creek.
This is the answer I expected. I can pursue farther up the ladder if you would like, but in my
opinion, I will get the same answer. At this time I am not pursuing this any further. Please call me
if you have any questions or want me to make additional inquiries.
