ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL Febraury 22, 1994 Page 3 of 6 Linda advised the Council that Virgie Bistodeau accepted her appointment to the Park Board as approved by the Council at the February 17, 1994, joint meeting with the Park Board. Linda also reported that she had contacted Marvin Vetsch. He indicated that he has made the decision to quit the Park Board. Linda requested that Vetsch put his resignation in writing and return to City Hall all City keys in his possession. The Council addressed the hiring of Dale Powers as interim part-time administrator. Linda pointed out several areas of concern she feels should be addressed by the Council prior to making its decision. Those issue are: (1) What an interim administration will provide to the City beyond what the City currently has. (2) What is the job description and the duties to be performed by the interim administrator. (3) How the budget will handle the additional payroll or benefit package. (4) How current administrative staff positions will be affected. (5) Office space and office equipment need for the interim administrator. Mayor Potter stated that he believes the Council has already decided to pursue hiring an administrator. Anderson stated that she feels the interim administrator will guide the Council and give it direction. Anderson proposed the following: 1. Would like to hire Dale Powers as part-time City Administrator on the following terms: a. Approximately 30 hours per week b. Six month employment with no commitment on City's part to hire Dale if City decides to have a permanent administrator. C. Salary at $12.50 per hour. d. Duties: Planning and Zoning, Economic Development, Employees/scheduling, Resolutions & Ordinances, Special Projects such as ADA, etc. Clerk would retain budgeting, meetings, minutes, dealing with public, sewer billings and current duties not assigned to Dale 2. Eliminate secretary position, with two -week notice to Ann effective tomorrow, with her last day to be Wednesday, March 9, 1994; severance pay of additional two weeks to be paid on the March 23rd payroll I. Vacation and comp hours (if any) will be paid. 3. Examine pay equity points and salary for Clerk ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL Febraury 22, 1994 Page 4 of 6 position in July when normal reviews are conducted. 4. Appoint committee of two council members and the attorney to negotiate with Dale for terms of employment and have written employment contract approved at the next Council meeting. Mayor Potter called a brief recess to allow the Council time to read and study Anderson's proposal. Mayor Potter reconvened the meeting. Anderson made a motion to eliminate the secretarial position, with two -week notice to Ann Culley effective tomorrow, with her last day to be Wednesday, March 9, 1994, severance pay of additional two weeks to be paid on the March 23rd payroll. (vacation and comp hours (if any) will be paid); to hire Dale Powers as part-time City Administrator on the following terms: A. Approximately 30 hours per week B. Six month employment with no commitment on City's part to hire Dale if City decides to have a permanent administrator. C. Salary at $12.50 per hour. D. Duties: Planning and Zoning, Economic Development, Employees/scheduling, Resolutions & Ordinances, Special Projects such as ADA, etc. Clerk would retain budgeting, meetings, minutes, dealing with public, sewer billings and current duties not assigned to Dale; and appoint a committee of two Council members to negotiate an employment contract with Powers. Berning seconded the motion. Councilmember Barthel prefers to delay the decision to eliminate the secretarial position until after the six month interim administrator position expires and the Council determines that there is a need to eliminate a position. Mayor Potter called for a vote on the motion on the floor. Anderson, Berning and Vetsch voted aye. Barthel voted no. Potter did not vote. The motion carried. Linda presented the terms of the negotiations with Rich Miller to secure an extension to the permanent easement for drainage purposes created by the construction of 50th Street. The negotiated terms are as follows: (1) Miller's driveway will be restored to his satisfaction under the terms of the original contract with Buffalo Bituminous. ,-� (2) The City will extend the drainage pipe an additional 25-30 feet to the edge of the pond on Miller's property. (3) The City will pay Miller $1,000 for the permanent easement. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL Febraury 22, 1994 Page 5 of 6 (4) The City waives the fee and escrow deposit for Miller's application to request Planing Commission approval to build an additional garage on his property. The waiver in no way guarantees that the Planning Commission will recommend the approval, nor does it guarantee that the Council will approve the recommendation from the Planning Commission. Attorney Couri advised the Council to contact the former engineer to determine if Meyer-Rohlin is responsible for some of the costs involved under its Errors and Omissions policy. Vetsch made a motion to have Couri draft an agreement based on the terms of the negotiated settlement for the Council to review at the next meeting. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Linda presented a proposal from Vetsch Custom Cabinets to build a Council table for City Hall at a cost of $3,175.00. Councilmember Berning stated he will abstain from voting on this issue. Councilmember Vetsch stated that he does not feel there is a conflict of interest with his vote and he will vote on the question. Linda explained there is currently $3,246.76 in the building equipment account that will cover the cost and recommended approval of the proposal. Howard Larson suggested that the Council delay the purchase of the Council table until later in the year to ensure that the funds in the account Linda discussed are not needed for a more urgent need. Anderson made a motion to accept the proposal from Vetsch Custom Cabinets to construct a Council table at a cost of $3,175.00. Vetsch seconded the motion. Anderson, Vetsch, Potter and Barthel voted aye. Berning abstained. The motion carried. As requested Linda reported that she had received a price on networking the two City computers. The system is expandable up to 100 terminals. Howard Larson advised the Council that his has experience with networking and the service bills can be very high. Linda explained that she is not very familiar with networking and would make no recommendations based on her lack of knowledge. The Council tabled discussion on computer networking for the City until more information is received. Mayor Potter appointed Anderson and Potter to serve on the committee to negotiate the employment contract with Dale Powers. Councilmember Berning requested that the Council send a letter to Ann Culley thanking her for her years of service to the City. Howard Larson addressed the Council and asked for Council's ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL Februury 22, 1994 Page 6 of 6 position on allowing auxiliary buildings on larger parcels within the City. As a Planning Commission member, he would like to address this issue at the next Planning meeting and would like to have an idea of the Council's position. The Council would consider the Planning Commission's recommendation if it is presented. Larson also asked the Council to make the public aware of the committee meetings held to consider a new fire building. Linda was directed to put a notice on the Fire Building Committee's next meeting on March 10, 1994, at 7:00 PM in the official newspaper. Attorney Couri presented a letter dated February 22, 1994, addressing the legal authority of the City to condemn land owned by Doug and Beatrice Psyk to allow the Heuring property on the corner of County Roads 19 and 35 to be served with sanitary sewer. Although the City does have the authority to acquire the Psyk land in question, Couri recommends that the Council not consider take further action. He feels that the problem can and should be resolved by the two property owners. Couri advised the Council that the ADA requirements applicable ^ to the old city hall building allow for "reasonable accommodations" for handicapped accessibility. He advised that the City can allow community services organizations to use the building but suggested that a doorbell of some sort be installed that a handicapped person can use for notification of assistance needed. The organizations will also have access to the handicapped -accessible park shelter building if it is necessary. Linda will contact each service organization to determine if there are currently handicapped individuals involved regularly in their meetings who may require special services. Couri advised the Council that an HRA could be established for the City. He has some information available but is not sure of all the notice requirements, etc. prior to the establishment of the HRA. Couri will have concrete information for the Council by the end of the week. Linda was directed to review the ordinances to determine if there is currently an ordinance regarding city administrators. She will also contact the LMC for a sample ordinance if necessary. There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 9 : ? 5 P11 .

Attorney Couri explained that the Psyk assessment appeal is based on the contention that the property assessed does not benefit from the trunk sewer line. The appeal filed by John -George, Inc. is based on the contention that there had never been an agreement to assess the commercial property for the sewer and water lines extended back in 1988. Couri expects that both appeals will go to trial sometime in April or May. Couri reminded the Council that it was the previous Council's policy that the total costs for the trunk sewer line would be assessed to the benefitting properties. The Council has two options to consider: (1) Go to trial to defend the Psyk assessment or (2) Reach a settlement with Psyks before the trial date. Couri discussed a possible settlement offer with Psyks. The attorney for Psyks may be willing to settle the suit if the City is willing to guarantee that Psyk will be assessed only if there is adequate sewer connections to cover all the lots. Psyk would like a guarantee that future hook-ons will be guaranteed for four years. Couri was directed to negotiate a settlement offer for the Psyks to consider and will present that offer to the Council at another closed meeting to be set later. The Westwind Commercial assessment appeal offers the same two options to the Council --go to trial or make a settlement offer. The attorney for John -George, Inc. will be in touch with Couri if John -George, Inc. is willing to consider a settlement offer. The Council directed Couri to consider a settlement request from John - George, Inc, only if it is provided in written form. The Council will set another closed meeting to discuss both assessment appeals when further information is available. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL CLOSED MEETING March 1, 1993 Page 2 of 2 Vetsch made a motion to adjourn the closed meeting at 9:40 P.M. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Michael Potter, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL CLOSED MEETING March 15, 1993 Albertville City Hall 8:45 PM PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers Duane Berning, Albert Barthel, John Vetsch and Sharon Anderson, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Potter called the closed meeting to discuss the settlement offer presented on the Doug and Beatrice Psyk assessment appeal at 8:45 PM. Couri explained a possible settlement offer from Doug & Beatrice Psyk. The main points of the proposed settlement are as follows: (1) The City agreed to provided financing for all municipal improvements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 429 for the property to be developed as Psyk's 5th, 6th & 7th Additions. (2) The letter of credit required will not be greater than 25% of the estimated costs of the improvements. (3) The Psyks cannot assign the right to the 429 financing option to any other party who may purchase the land for development. (4) The Psyks will prepay all special assessments for each lot within any development receiving 429 financing. (5) The City shall provide 429 financing until December 31, 2000. (6) The City shall refund that portion of the 1993 assessment paid byu the Psyks which relates to any lots in Psyk's 5th Addition which cannot be connected to the sanitary sewer. (7) The City guarantees sufficient sewer capacity for 57 lots in the 5th, 6th and 7th Additions. The guarantee will extend to December 31, 1998. Couri recommended that the Council consider appointing two Councilmembers to consider the settlement proposal to speed up the process. He urged the Council to weigh the costs of the settlement against the cost of actual litigation, which he estimates at between $5,000-$8,000. Mayor Potter appointed Councilmembers Berning and Anderson to consider the settlement offer from Psyks and make a recommendation to the full Council. Barthel made a motion to adjourn at 9:27 PM. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Michael Potter, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL April 5, 1993 CLOSED MEETING Albertville City Hall 9:26 PM PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers Duane Berning, Sharon Anderson, Albert Barthel, John Vetsch, City Attorney Mike Couri, and Secretary Ann Culley. Mayor Potter called the closed meeting of the Albertville City Council to order at 9:26 PM. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss litigation between the City and Douglas and Beatrice Psyk and John -George, Inc. Couri stated that prior to December 31, 2000, Psyk must request, in writing Chapter 429 approval and must provide a final plat. Couri went through each section of the proposed Stipulation Agreement, drafted and dated April 1, 1993. The Councilmembers all expressed their understanding of the proposed agreement. Anderson made a motion to accept the findings of the Stipulation Agreement and to authorize Mike Potter and Linda Houghton to sign the Stipulation Agreement, dated April 1, 1993. The motion was seconded by Berning. All voted aye. Litigation regarding John -George, Inc. was discussed next. Couri stated that the sewer portion of the improvement did not follow 429 procedures in that it appears that the City did not hold a public hearing for the improvement itself. He further stated that the bond that was issued for that improvement project was a MN Statute 444 Revenue Bond which did not require a public hearing. If the public hearing was not held, it would seem to support Odell's position that the Council at the time the improvement was made did not intend to assess the costs out. Couri suggested the Council consider accepting a decent offer, if one was made, with reasonable dates as to when payments would start due to the fact that there are no certainties as to how a judge may interpret the Developers Agreement and the Petition for Improvements. Couri informed the Council that he had talked with Maureen Andrews and her recollection was that she thought the Council s intent had been to either assess the property at time of hook-up or to impose "in lieu of" connection charges at the time the property was developed. CITY COUNCIL CLOSED MEETING - LITIGATION APRIL 5, 1993 Page 2 Couri suggested that if a settlement offer from Darkenwalds were to be presented, the Council should give it serious consideration. If no offer is forthcoming, Couri stated that the litigation would proceed. Potter stated he felt it important that the Council take a firm stand on this issue. Berning made a motion to adjourn at 9:59 PM. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye. Michael Potter, Mayor Ann Culley, Secretary 40 ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL CLOSED MEETING May 3, 1993 Albertville City Hall 9:25 PM PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers Duane Berning, Albert Barthel, John Vetsch and Sharon Anderson, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Potter called the closed meeting to discuss the settlement offer presented regarding the John -George assessment appeal. Couri explained a possible settlement offer from John -George, Inc. was discussed at a pre-trial conference. The main points of the proposed settlement are as follows: (1) A connection charge for the sewer line will be imposed on the parcel in the amount of $15,210.91 and will be paid at time of hookup. ( 2 ) If the hookup has not occurred by the end of 1997, the connection fee will be levied with the 1998 taxes. (3) Interest at the rate of 8.25% on the connection charge will start accruing thirty days after sewer service is available. (4) A connection charge for the water line will be imposed on the parcel in the amount of $14,395.63 and will be paid at the time of connection. (5) If the hookup has not occurred by the end of 1997, the connection fee will be levied with the 1998 taxes. (6) Interest at the rate of 8.25% on the connection charge will start accruing thirty days after sewer service is available. Attorney Couri recommended that the Council approve the settlement offer as detailed. Anderson made a motion to approve the settlement offer to conclude the John -George assessment appeal. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Vetsch made a motion to adjourn at 9:45 PM. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye. Michael Potter, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE CLOSED July Albertville City Hall CITY COUNCIL MEETING 6, 1993 9:15 PM PRESENT: Councilmembers Duane Berning, Albert Barthel, John Vetsch and Sharon Anderson, City Attorney Stan Ellingson, City Clerk Linda Houghton Acting Mayor Berning called the closed meeting to discuss the stipulation agreement proposed by John -George, Inc. regarding the settlement of their assessment appeal. Attorney Ellingson presented the Council with a Stipulation Agreement drafted to complete the settlement of the John -George assessment appeal. The agreement states that the City of Albertville will refund the portion of the special assessment on the Westwind Commercial property after the lawsuit has been dismissed. This is necessary, because John -George, Inc. paid the first half of the property taxes before the assessment could be abated at the County level. The Stipulation Agreement will not go into effect until it has been filed with the County. Ellingson feels that the settlement and the stipulation agreement are both fair to each party. Anderson made a motion to approve the Stipulation Agreement with John -George, Inc. as presented. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye. Barthel made a motion to adjourn at 9:30 PM. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.

The purpose of the meeting is to consider amending the 1994 Budget to include the increase in recycling costs from the budgeted amount of $5,220 to $7,200. Linda reported that she had discussed with the Maintenance Department taking the additional $1,980 that is needed in recycling from the capital outlay budget for Miscellaneous Equipment set at $1,450. Amending the budget as recommended does not change the total budgeted expenditures for 1994. Linda recommended that the budget be amended as proposed. Berning made a motion to amend the 1994 Budget as follows: 101.432.300.535.100 PUBLIC WORKS - RECYCLING $7,200 101.431.000.574.611 PUBLIC WORKS - HIGHWAYS,STS $470 Barthel seconded the motion.

All voted aye. Judy Leming, representing Edina Realty, addressed the Council regarding sewer availability to the Bob Heuring property located at the intersection of County Road 19 and 50th Street. She 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. 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. 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.

The Council could request that Powers waive his rights under the Data Privacy Act and conduct an interview at a public meeting.

Michael Potter, Mayor Linda Houghton, Clerk ALBERTVILLE SPECIAL February Albertville City Hall CITY COUNCIL MEETING 15, 1994 PRESENT- Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers John Vetsch, Duane Berning, Sharon Anderson and Albert Barthel, City Attorney Mike Couri, City Clerk Linda Houghton Mayor Potter called the special meeting of the Albertville City Council to order. The purpose of the meeting is to interview a candidate for a potential interim administrator position. Candidate Dale Powers has submitted a letter dated February 9, 1994, requesting that the interview be conducted at a public meeting and waiving certain rights under the Minnesota Data Privacy Act. Mayor Potter outlined the forum for the interview. Questions will be fielded only from the Council. Dale Powers is a 1993 graduate from St. Cloud State University with a major in Public Administration and Geography. He is currently pursuing a Masters degree from Mankato State University. He has previously worked with the League of Minnesota Cities in establishing an internship program. Councilmember Vetsch asked Powers why he felt it was important for the continued growth of the City to hire an administrator versus growing with the current staff. Powers answered that he would be able to assist the City in long-range planning issues. He stated that he is not in favor of "business chasing", but rather he sees the administrator's job as a "business incubator", which he described as assisting small businesses in the community to grow and stay within the City. Councilmember Anderson asked Powers what he could give to the CIty of Albertville. Powers answered that he could give the CIty a "new look". He would see what in the City needs improvement and take steps in that direction. He stated he is not interested in "remaking the City" but would attempt to determine what the Council wants and guide them to that end. Mayor Potter questioned what steps Powers anticipated in City growth. Powers stated that initially he would talk to business leaders and residents to find out, the general direction the City wants to grow and he would work with the Council to find the most efficient way for that, growth to occur. Councilmember Berning asked Powers to outline his strengths both personally and professionally. Powers stated he is a "good listener", "gets along well with people", "lets good employees do ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING February 15, 1994 Page 2 of 4 their job, and works with those employees who may not be educated adequately to perform their jobs better" and "has a wide range of contacts --both through the League of Minnesota Cities and with State legislators". Powers stated he is not a veteran. Mayor Potter questioned Powers how he would stop the City from being forced into expansions, such as wastewater treatment expansion which the City just, experienced. Powers stated there were two ways to prevent this from happening in the future-- (1) to overbuild a system initially, which Powers stated was not, financially wise nor a way he would recommend, or (2) to plan in advance for upcoming expansions through capital improvement budgeting. Councilmember Berning asked for Powers' definitions of a Planned Unit Development, variances and conditional use permits. Powers defined each. Councilmember Vetsr_h questioned Powers on how he progressed into the field of public administration. Powers stated he has always been interested in the process of government and, when he decided to seek a college education, this interest led him to choose that profession. Councilmember Barthel asked is attendance at evening meetings would present a problem to Powers since he is in the process of continuing his education. Powers stated that the job demands would have to come before his educational plans. Councilmember Anderson asked Powers what hours he felt would be necessary to perform the job. Powers questioned whether this issue had to do with the compensation package or with the need for the position and the duties of that position. Anderson answered, and the other Councilmembers agreed, that the need for the position was the issue. Powers stated that in previous discussions with Anderson a 30-hour work week had been discussed. An administrator's job would be a difficult job to "punch a time clock" for and he would not guarantee that he would work only 30 hours per week. He stated he would put in the time necessary to do the job. Councilmember Berning questioned iF Powers was aware of state or federal funds available for small cities such as Albertville. Powers stated that he is not aware of particular funding available, but he knows there are some grants/loans available yet, there are not as many dollars available as in the past. He would aggressively pursue whatever funding is available. ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING February 15, 1994 Page 3 of 4 Councilmember Berning asked Powers to describe the intern program Powers worked on through the LMC. Powers explained the program that he and Tom Thelen of the LMC developed to match intern administrators to cities with certain needs. Berning asked about how Powers would go about establishing an economic development program for the City, Powers stated that economic development program requires an organized effort. Planning and cooperation must be orderly and can be time-consuming. The goal is to define the needs of the community and develop a plan of action while maintaining the businesses currently here. Mayor Potter questioned if Powers felt that the Star City designation was worth pursing. Powers stated that he feels the process of securing the Star City status is worthwhile, since the process requires the City to establish an orderly development program. As a part of the process of being designated a Star City, the City has a video presentation highlighting the best features of the City professionally done. Powers indicated he is computer literate in WordPerfect, Lotus, Quatro, Harvard Graphics and DBase programs. Councilmember Berning asked Powers about his experience in budgeting and finance. Powers stated he has taken classes in public budgeting and finance, but he has no actual experience in the matter. Councilmember Anderson invited Powers to question the Council regarding the position. Powers asked what the Council feels are the major concerns for Albertville. Anderson stated her major concern is with economic development. Potter stated his major concern is with long-range planning and establishing a balance between commercial/industrial growth vs. residential growth. Berning and Vetsch agreed that controlled growth is necessary and that, the City does allow growth to occur helter-skelter with no long-range vision. Councilmember Berning asked Powers if the terms of the Potential position, i.e, six month contracted term with no further guarantee of continued employment and part-time (perhaps 30 hours per week) were acceptable. Powers stated he is flexible and would have no problem with those terms. Attorney Couri asked Powers to give the Council some indication of the salary range he would require. Powers stated he had interviewed for an administrator position with the City of Red Lake Falls, a city of about 1500, and the salary being proposed there was $35,000 per year. For this part-time position, Powers ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING February 15, 1994 Page 4 of 4 would accept compensation in the $20,000 annual range, or pro -rated at $10,000 for six months. Powers added that he would accept the $10,000 salary with the hopes and expectation that, his employment with the City continued beyond the six months terms, his performance would be reviewed and his pay adjusted somewhat closer to the salary range mentioned for Red Lake Falls. Assuming this position becomes permanent, Attorney Couri asked what Powers" foresaw for himself in the next 5-10 years. Powers stated that if he were paid fairly, he did not foresee himself moving on to "bigger and better" things. He would be content to continue working for the City as long as the City was satisfied with his performance. Anderson made a motion to discuss the possibility of hiring an administrator based on this interview at the next Council meeting. Barthel seconded the motion. All voted aye. Anderson made a motion to adjourn at 8:10 PM. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.

It relates to legislative approval of NSP's dry -cask storage of spent nuclear fuel at the Red Wing Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant. Also enclosed is an informational packet and a sample resolution of support. We would request that you discuss it with the Mayor and Council and hopefully they will adopt it. Failure to act will mean a loss of a very efficient, low-cost power source. Our NSP bills will escalate. In addition, Red Wing receives no local government aid because of our power plant tax base. If we lose the power plant, Red Wing qualifies for substantial local government aid. This means there is less to distribute to other cities. By demonstrating strong support to our legislators, we can prevent this economic loss to our cities from occurring. Please call us if you have any questions. We can arrange for you to get additional information and/or have a City or NSP official attend a meeting. Thanks so much and we would appreciate hearing from you. Sincerely, 1 y I S, even L.

Supporting Legislation to Allow for the Temporary Storage of Spent Fuel by Northern States Power at their Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant WHEREAS, Northern State's Power Company's Prairie Island Power Plant has produced safe, low-cost electricity for more than twenty years and consistently ranks as one of the lowest cost, safest, most productive and efficient nuclear plants in the country; and WHEREAS, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has repeatedly recognized the Prairie Island Plant as one of the best run nuclear facilities in the country; and WHEREAS, if the Prairie Island Power Plant is forced to close, the loss of this safe and low-cost base load twelve -hundred mega watt electric generating plant would cost not only NSP customers more in higher rates, but remove an efficient power source from the Mid -Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP) and thereby adversely affect all upper midwest electric consumers; and WHEREAS, the Prairie Island Power Plant contributes substantial annual real estate tax payments, thereby reducing and in some cases eliminating traditional educational and local government aids, and the shut down of this plant with resulting lost tax base would cost the State and other cities and school districts millions of dollars in increased State -aid payments thereby affecting adversely the vast majority of Minnesota taxpayers; and WHEREAS, the Prairie Island Power Plant will reach maximum capacity of its temporary storage facility for spent fuel in 1994 and all necessary permits and approvals from State and Federal regulatory agencies have been obtained so as to allow for the temporary storage of older spent fuel in dry casks, a method safely utilized by at least six other nuclear power plants; and WHEREAS, the Prairie Island Power Plant is located within the City of Red Wing and the City and the vast majority of residents strongly favor approval of State legislation to permit this temporary spent fuel storage and further that the City has requested the support of other Cities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE of efforts to seek temporary storage IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City _ that it supports the City of Red Wing's approval in the legislature to allow on -site of spent nuclear fuel from the Prairie Island Plant until the U.S. Department of Energy meets its obligations to complete a national high-level permanent waste repository. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Administrator/City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to forward a signed copy of this resolution to the Governor and State legislators representing the City in the State legislature and in like manner notify the City of Red Wing of the city's adoption of this resolution.

ENGINEERS -LAND SURVEYORS 1111 Hwy. 25 N., Buffalo, Minn.55313 Phone 612-682-1781 February 3, 1994 City of Albertville c/o Linda Houghton, Clerk Box 131 Albertville, MN 55301 RE: Parkside Utilities and Street Albertville, MN Honorable Mayor and City Council: The contractor for the above -referenced project has requested partial payment for work completed to date. See the attached payment recommendation to the developer. Since the developer is making payment to the contractor with a portion of the letter of credit deposited with the City to guarantee completion of the project, the City must therefore approve a reduction in the letter of credit. The amount of the reduction is as follows: Reduction = (partial payment - [change orders x 95%]) x 577o _ ($53,910.17 - [$0.00 x 95%]) x 57% = $30,728.80. The reason that the change order work has been factored out in the reduction calculation, is that it is not included in the letter of credit deposited with the City. Since the work performed by the contractor reflected by this amount has been completed, we recommend that Kenco Construction, Inc.'s letter of credit be reduced by $30,728.80. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, MEYER-ROHLIN, INC. Norman Gartner Professional Engineer cc: Kenco Construction Inc. Latour Construction, Inc.
