ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 20, 1994
Albertville City Hall 7:30 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mike Potter, Councilmembers Duane Berning,
Sharon Anderson, Albert Barthel and John Vetsch (7:35 PM), City
Clerk Linda Houghton, City Administrator Dale Powers, City Engineer
Bob Robertson, City Attorney Mike Couri
Mayor Potter called the regular meeting of the Albertville
City Council to order.
The agenda was amended under Administration as follows:
(1) Delete Microtech discussion
(2) Change Resolution #1994-7 to Resolution #1994-9
(3) Accept letter of resignation from the Park
Board from Anita Roden
Berning made a motion to approve the agenda as amended. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Councilman Berning requested that a follow-up sheet be
included in all future agenda packets.
Mayor Potter presented certificates for $100 savings bonds to
the new Albertville Royalty: Miss Albertville Lisa Roden,
Princesses Jenny Holland and Shari Lindenfelser, Junior Royalty
Kari Valerius, Emily Vorderbruggan, Jacob Bebeau and Matthew
O'Donnell.
The minutes of the June 6, 1994, meeting were amended as
follows:
Page 2 Paragraph 12 "Anders on/Vet sch unanimous to
authorize getting specs prior to letting of bids for a
new tanker truck".
Page 3 Paragraph 13 Sentence 2 "Mayor Potter will
attend the June 23rd meeting of the Frankfort Township
Sewer Committee".
Barthel made a motion to approve the June 6, 1994, minutes as
amended. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Dayle Veches discussed his inability to get a Certificate of
Occupancy for the house he has constructed on Lot 1, Block 1, MLDCO
1st Addition, because the drainage plan cannot be completed until
the beehive required by the plat has not been installed on the
corner of the lot. Closing on the house has been scheduled for
Friday, June 24, and if the house does not close on that day, the
buyers will lose the lock on their interest rate. Veches and
realtor Dan Frie asked the City Council to enforce the conditions
of the Developers Agreement and either force the developer to have
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 20, 1994
Page 2 of 5
the beehive installed or have the CIty install the beehive with the
funds provided by the developer's letter of credit. Berning made
a motion to allow the building inspector to issue a temporary
certificate of occupancy for veches' house provided that only the
drainage and grading are incomplete and to give the developer
thirty (30) days in which to have the beehive installed. If the
beehive is not completed in that time frame, the City will have the
beehive installed with the funds provided by the developer's letter
of credit. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Gerald Johnsted requested permission to install a mounting
pole to hold an antenna for his ham radio. Mayor Potter advised
Johnsted to apply to the Planning Commission for a Conditional Use
Permit before the Council would act on his request.
Clem Marx requested permission to change the culvert that he
stated collapsed when the trunk sewer line was installed. The
culvert is located west of the St. Albert's Church and north of the
proposed 57th Street. Marx indicated that if the culvert is
replaced, the ditch would need to be cleaned to allow proper flows.
City Engineer Bob Robertson reported that the topo map indicated
that is the culvert is located properly and the ditch cleaned, the
ares should drain. The Council agreed to have the wetlands areas
delineated before proceeding with a clean -out of the ditch. Dale
was directed to contact Kerry Sexton of the Wright Soil and Water
Conservation office to have the delineation process started. The
City will also get a quote from Dennis Fehn on the cost of getting
the ditch cleaned. Attorney Couri advised that until the wetlands
are delineated, he would not advise that City to take any action
on the ditch cleaning. He further indicated that the first step
to the delineation process should be up to Marx.
Linda was directed to check if the performance bond for Kadlec
Excavating has expired and to contact both the bonding company and
the contractor regarding recently discovered along the trunk sewer
line.
Since Ron Becker was not present, the Council agreed to
discuss the drainage swale on his property under Engineering.
Engineer Bob Robertson reported on his findings regarding the
Marx/Psyk drainage problem. One potential solution that would
allow Pysk's 6th Addition to proceed is to have the drainage from
the north end of the proposed development go to the end lot into
a detention pond and detained on that lot by a wide berm. This
would prevent quick run-off into the Marx wetland. This solution
would be a temporary (interim) solution and would be changed once
permanent storm sewer pipe is installed. Attorney Mike Couri
advised that the addition of a second detention pond on the last
lot as Robertson suggested may be workable if calculations show
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 20, 1994
Page 3 of 5
that the amount of drainage and the velocity of the drainage is not
increased. He suggested that the runoff factors and calculations
be submitted to the city engineer for his review prior to Council
action on the proposed development.
Robertson reviewed the Feasibility Study for Barthel
Industrial Drive and 52nd Streets. The study estimates the cost
of street and watermain construction from the finished section of
Barthel Industrial Drive to 50th Street at $163,125. Street,
sanitary sewer, watermain and storm sewer construction along 52nd
Street is estimated at $282,790. Street, sanitary sewer and
watermain for the MacKenzie Circle portion is estimated at $72,026.
The entire total project (Barthel Drive, 52nd Street and MacKenzie
Circle) is estimated at $517,941. Bob will have a complete report
available for the next Council meeting.
Dale was directed to set up a meeting with the property owners
whose property will be affected by the proposed improvements,
including Ed Lenz , who actually is a resident of Frankfort.
Bob reported that the corners of the Westwind Park have been
staked.
Linda was directed to check the Developer's Agreements and the
PUD Agreement for the Westwind Addition to see if language is
included that requires excess dirt from the development to be
reserved for the park.
Ron Guerts will put together a status report on the MNDOT/I-
94 drainage project for the Council's review.
Dale reported that he had visited the Ron Becker property and
observed two breaks in the swale allowing water to go to the pond.
Dale also observed that the berm originally placed next tot he
swale has been plowed under and Becker is actually farming the
easement. Attorney Couri indicated that if no other property is
being affected, the responsibility for rebuilding the berm could
rest with Becker. Dale was directed to contact Ron Becker
regarding restoring the berm and to meet with him regarding his
Kelly Koopmeiner, who lives next to Becker's pond on 51st
Street, told that Council that water ponds in her back yard and she
would like to have the drainage corrected to eliminate the ponding.
Ron Guerts from Meyer-Rohlin, Inc. will have the swale reshaped
from the back corner of her lot to the beehive. This should stop
the water from ponding. The maintenance department will haul dirt
around the beehive to improve the aesthetics.
Bob Braun, one of the developers of Hardwood Ponds 2nd
Addition, requested City assistance in getting the engineer and
contractor to proceed with his improvements. Linda will speak to
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 20, 1994

the engineer.
Attorney Couri presented Resolution #1994-8, as requested by
Mayor Potter. The resolution details the reason that Mayor Potter
is recommending that the Municipal Engineering Services contract
with RCM, Inc. be terminated because RCM has been unable to appoint
a permanent engineer to replace Pete Carlson. Bob Robertson
indicated that RCM does have an engineer in the St. Cloud office
who he would recommend to represent the City, if the Council
agreed. Mayor Potter explained that the determining factor in
appointing RCM as engineer was that Pete Carlson would be the City
representative, and he is recommending in the resolution that
Carlson be appointed city engineer.
Anderson made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1994-8 terminating
REC as city engineer effective thirty days from the mailing of
written notice and retaining Pete Carlson of Short, Elliot &
Hendrickson as city engineer, pending approval of a written
contract. Berning seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve the Financial Statement for
^ the period June 1 - June 15 as presented. Anderson seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve payment of Check #8527 -
#8573 as listed. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The Council reviewed the 1993 Audit Report. Because of errors
discovered in the employee benefit and insurance portions of the
audit, Anderson made a motion to set a meeting with Mark Babcock
to finalize the audit on June 27th at 6:00 PM. Vetsch seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to accept the resignation of Anita Roden
from the Park Board effective immediately and directing Linda to
send a letter of appreciation to Ms. Roden. Anderson seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Barthel made a motion to approve Change Order No. 3 for the
1992-11A (Wastewater Expansion Project) which deletes floor
hardener from the plan. The net result of the change order is a
deduct of $220. Anderson seconded the motion. All voted aye.
The time of the meeting for Dale's performance evaluation was
changed to 6:00 PM on June 22nd. The meeting will be closed to the
public.
The Council reviewed Resolution #1994-9 entitled A RESOLUTION
DIRECTING THE LMCIT TO COMPLY WITH THE COURT OF APPEAL DECISION
REGARDING AFTON CITY OFFICIALS. Discussion of the resolution was
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
June 20, 1994
Page 5 of 5
tabled.
Anderson made a motion to prohibit parking on both sides of
58th Street due to the narrowness of the street. Berning seconded
the motion. Anderson and Berning voted aye. Barthel and Vetsch
voted no. Mayor Potter cast a no vote. The motion failed.
The Council agreed to continue with the parking of vehicles
on one side of 58th Street, and directed that "No Parking on this
Side of the Street" be placed on the sod side of 58th Street.
Vetsch made a motion to have the City Clerk and the
Administrator attend Council meetings. Berning seconded the
motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion that the City of Albertville not become
a member of the Minnesota Association of Small Cities. Barthel
seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Berning made a motion to deny the request to sponsor youth on
a trip to Washington, D.C. made by Word of Peace Lutheran Church.
Barthel seconded the motion. Barthel, Berning, Vetsch and Potter
voted aye. Anderson abstained. The motion carried.
The Council reviewed the correspondence between the City and
property owner Jim Hennum. The Council decided to table further
action.
Anderson made a motion to hire Katie Buttweiler to update the
community profile for the City at a rate of $8 per hour for eight
hours per week, not to exceed 10 weeks total. Funding for the
employment will be from the AEDA. Barthel seconded the motion.
Anderson, Vetsch, Berning and Barthel voted aye. Potter voted no.

Char Zachman, Ken Lindsay, Mike Rutkowski, Doug Psyk, Aaron Brom, Bernie
Marx, Clemens Marx, Gary Schwenafeier, Jeff Kopp, Dave Vetsch, Ed
Ostendorf, Kevin Mealhouse ,
The meeting was called to order by Acting Mayor Anderson @ 7:30pm.
Barthel/Vetsch unanimous to approve agenda as amended.
Barthel/Vetsch unanimous to approve consent agenda as amended.
Vetsch/Barthel unanimous to approve 5/16/94 Council minutes.
COMMUNITY CONCERNS:
Bernie Marx: Drainage issues=> 8 acres of low ground has expanded to 13.4
acres. Robertson indicated that the ditch that runs north through the
property is very flat (.75"/100'), and that any siltation in the ditch will
raise the water level. Cleaning the ditch is a solution, but the ditch is
privately owned.
Anderson/Barthel unanimous to direct Robertson to draft plan/cost estimates
for the ditch cleanup, and to direct Powers to investigate whether the
stormwater fund can be used for private ditch cleanup.
Doua Psyk: Drainage issues=> Mentioned that he had a couple of plans to
alleviate drainage, but requested that he wait until the city attorney was
present.
Frankfort Twp. Sewer Committee (Dave Dayon): (not present... tabled until he
arrives)
Dave Vetsch: (not present... tabled until he arrives)
MAINTENANCE
Tractor/Loader Purchase: Powers discussed a financing option available to
the City through Piper Jaffray which involves pooled requests from other
cities at a low interest rate (approximately 4.3-4.5% APR).
Anderson and Vetsch each raised concerns about the longevity of the
existing tractor/loader, questioning why a piece of equipment that was to
have lasted 10 years needs replacing after five years. Barthel replied that
the tractor/loader is obsolete and needs to be replaced.
Anderson/Barthel unanimous to table this issue until the other Council
members are present.
Pesticide Applicator's License for Rutkowski: Powers replied to the
Council's concern about Rutkowski's lack of a pesticide applicator's
license by stating that he had discussed the situation with Rutkowski and
mutually agreed on a 6/17/94 due date for the license.
ENGINEERING
54 Street Drainage Estimate: Robertson discussed the cost estimate ($1500)
for repairing the swale to the south of 54 Street east of Main Avenue.
Since it is a privately owned swale, the expense would be assessed to the
property owners.
Anderson/Vetsch unanimous to notify property owners of the cost and the
assessment to the property, leaving it up to them whether to finance the
cost.
Barthel Industrial Drive Feasibility: Robertson discussed this project,
which would extend pavement south of 51 Street to 50 Street. Estimated
project costs are $95,000, excluding the cost of soil borings and survey
work. Robertson asked for Council approval of the expense of the soil
borings (approximately $2000-2500).
Vetsch expressed concerns about the assessibility of the project. Powers
replied that the project would be assessable to all property owners along
Barthel Industrial Drive.
Anderson/Vetsch unanimous to authorize up to $2500 for the cost of the soil
borings.
Westwind Park: Robertson discussed concerns about the property designated
for a park in the Westwind area. Specifically, he feels that a wetland
delineation needs to be performed. He mentioned that RCM could do it at a
cost of about $1,860.
Rose replied that, since Wright County is the "local government unit" for
these issues within Albertville, the county will do the delineation at no
cost to the City.
Anderson/Barthel unanimous to direct Powers to check with SCS and Robertson
on this issue.
Widmer: Norm Gartner (Meyer-Rohlin) had asked that this letter from his
firm to Widmer be included in the council packet. The letter concerned
sanitary sewer connection issues between the U. S. Post Office in
Albertville and Widmer.
ADMINISTRATION
Dave Vetsch: The Albertville Volunteer Fire Department needs a water tanker
truck replaced. There is $60,000 currently in the fund for this purpose,
with an additional $20,000 to be allocated next year. The purchase price
for the truck is in the $75,000-$80,000 range.
[Potter and Berning arrive during this discussion.]
Anderson/Vetsch unanimous to authorize letting of bids for a new tanker
truck.
Government Organization Meeting: Honorariums: Powers discussed the guests
for the 6/29/94 meeting, and asked for authorization for $50 honoraria
(fees) for each attendee.
Berning/Anderson unanimous to authorize $50 honoraria for each guest.
Lions Shelter Permit Fees: Powers discussed the building permit fees
charged for the Lions shelter. Donatus Vetsch had requested that the City
pick up these fees.
Anderson/Barthel unanimous to pay the permit fees out of the park budget.
Lighting Flag Pole: Powers discussed the bids for lighting the flag pole in
front of City Hall, and recommended the Council accept, the bid for in -
ground lighting. Powers felt that it would last longer and look better than
adding the lights to the existing City Hall lights. The sense of the
Council was to go with the lowest bid.
Berning/Vetsch unanimous to approve the low bid'of $165 from Unlimited
Electric of Monticello.
Organized Collection: Powers discussed his research on this issue in light
of the recent U. S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively barred cities and
counties from banning interstate hauling of garbage. The League of
Minnesota Cities recommending waiting for a while to see if any other city
has litigation in this area. -
Potter mentioned that perhaps we should check with Howard Lake, since that
city just recently started the organized collection process.
The Council directed Powers to talk with Howard Lake about their
experiences with organized collection and report back to the Council.
Fire Hall Committee Meeting: Powers asked for Council direction about when
to schedule the next Fire Hall Committee meeting, since the 6/2/94 meeting
had to be rescheduled.
The Council directed Powers to contact Cheryl Robertus and ask her to get
together with Jim Walsh to determine a date/time for the next meeting.
Performance Appraisal for Dale: Powers inquired as to who will be
conducting his 90 day performance appraisal (Anderson/Berning or the entire
Council) and a date for said appraisal. It was the sense of the Council
that the entire body perform the appraisal in a closed setting.
Anderson/Vetsch unanimous to schedule this meeting on Wednesday, June 22,
at 7.30pm.
Frankfort Twp Sewer Committee: Dave Dayon from the Frankfort Township Sewer
Committee talked about joint planning for sewer services, and suggested a
meeting to discuss this item. The sense of the Council was to set up a
meeting on Thursday, June 23.
Lee Kasper Drainaae Concern: Powers discussed the letter from Lee Kasper,
11449 NE 60 St, concerning a ditch behind his house that is in a general
state of disrepair, causing drainage problems. The Council directed
Robertson to investigate the cost of correcting this problem, and directed
Powers to check if this could be paid from stormwater fees.
Tractor/Loader: This area was readdressed with the full Council present.
Powers stated that the Council has to decide whether or not the
tractor/loader needs to be replaced at this time. If the Council decides it
does need to be replaced, then the financing program outlined earlier would
be of great advantage to the City.
Vetsch mentioned that he feels this issue has been discussed enough, and
feels it should be addressed next year.
Vetsch/Anderson unanimous to postpone consideration of purchasing a
tractor/loader until April 1995.
Check # 8513 (Rice Lake Contracting): (This check was pulled off of the
consent agenda) Vetsch expressed a concern about paying this bill before a
final inspection of the WWTP was performed. Mealhouse indicated that the
final inspection has yet to occur, and that there are several inspection
concerns about the WWTP.
Vetsch/Berning unanimous to table payment of this check until further
information has been gathered.
Barthel Industrial Drive: Potter, absent from'the previous discussion,
asked about this project --specifically if NE 52 St east from BID was
included in the figures. Robertson said it was not, and Powers took
responsibility for the error, stating that he only asked for the BID
estimate and not the NE 52 St estimate. The Council directed Robertson to
re -estimate the bid based on this addition.
Potter took the meeting into recess, pending the arrival of Couri, @
10:08pm.
Potter reconvened the meeting upon Couri"s arrival @ 10:14pm
LEGAL
50 St Assessment Appeal: Couri said the trial was postponed until 7/18/94
at the earliest. The potential settlement with plaintiff Greg Vetsch did
not materialize, thereby obviating the need for the scheduled closed
meeting.
Psvk Drainaize: Couri mentioned that this issue may have been alleviated
with a plan to place a holding pond on the northeasterly lot of the
addition. This would allow the development to occur pending further
development of the adjoining Marx property to the north. Marx objected to
this plan, stating that the overflow from the holding pond would fall on
his property.
Potter expressed the sense of the Council that this issue has taken
altogether too much of the Council's time, and that the Council should made
a field visit to the property and check the historical flows of the area.
The Council directed Powers to obtain old, predevelopment air photos of the
area, and set up a meeting with Kerry Sexton of Wright County SWCD to
discuss this issue.
Kenco's Certificate's of Occupancy: Couri advised the Council to withhold
certificates of occupancy for any future sites in Parkside I until a gravel
base has been laid.
Anderson/Barthel unanimous to adjourn @ 10:59pm

Roden, John Roden, Dick Sybrant
Meeting was called to order by Berning @ 7:30pm
Larson/Vetsch unanimous to approve agenda.
Anderson/Larson unanimous to approve minutes of 5/10/94 P & Z meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING
Berning called the public hearing to order. Powers read aloud the public
notice, and explained the rationale behind the rezoning request.
Public discussion centered on the following issues:
-Property located in the area to be rezoned is currently in litigation.
This property is scheduled to be residentially developed.
-The need for additional commercially zoned property when the market
currently will not support it.
The Commission, Powers, and Radzwill explained that they were unaware of
any pending litigation on any of the property in question, but that, was not
germane to the discussion. Rather, the City needs to look toward its future
needs, and that a large part of that projection includes additional
commercial locations to support the massive residential growth of the
region. This necessarily creates a healthy tension between property owners,
who look after their own economic best interests, and the City, which has
to look at the entire picture (both geographic and social) within its
corporate limits.
Larson/Vetsch unanimous to close the public hearing @ 8:26pm.
Discussion continued after the public hearing on the issue.
Berning/Anderson unanimous to table the proposal until the 7/12/94 PZ
meeting.
Larson/Vetsch unanimous to adjourn @ 8:30pm.

Dear Elected Official:
We are writing this letter as concerned fellow City
Council Members as a City Member of the League of Minnesota
Cities Insurance Trust (L.M.C.I.T.). We are asking for your
consideration and support on a matter that has gone on for
much too long and has sapped the resources of each of the
three involved City Council Members.
We believe, and the Minnesota Court of Appeals agrees
that City Council Members should be entitled to reasonable
legal defense coverage thru the L.M.C.I.T.. The attorneys
for the L.M.C.I.T. disagree and have chosen to add to all
parties expense and Appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
This action was brought in November of 1991 in regard to
a June emergency discussion to repair a well in the Afton
City Park prior to the Fourth of July celebration. The
original complaint alleged that the Mayor violated the open
meeting law with two Council Members on three separate and
unrelated occasions. The complaint asked that the statutory
penalty be imposed ($100) and that the Mayor and the two
involved Council Members be removed from office. An elected
official can be removed from office for three violations of
the open meeting law. The courts have found only one
unintentional violation and no evidence of any other open
meeting law violations. In their defense the three City
Council Members have incurred over $60,000 in legal expenses.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled on March 8, 1994
that the L.M.C.I.T. has a duty to defend and ordered them to
do so. L.M.C.I.T. attorneys have chosen to Appeal the charge
to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
All around Minnesota Communities thought in joining the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust they would receive
legal defense coverage. The Court of Appeals says they
should!
In Afton, a single citizens effort to remove a Mayor and
two City Council Members from public office has failed. The
cost of survivory on their Public Offices is $60,000 to the
involved Council Members. This is the type of event that is
extraordinary, beyond budget and one for which cities
purchase insurance. At least Afton thought it had purchased
such insurance.
City of Afton — 3033 St. Croix Trail So. Box 386; Afton, MN. 55001
We are enclosing a Resolution that would direct the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance trust to comply with the
Appeals Court decision. We ask that you place this matter on
your City Councils agenda at the earliest possible date and
show your support for Afton or your concern for the issue by
passing the attached resolution and forwarding a copy to the
L.M.C.I.T. and the City of Afton. We thank you for your time
and consideration on this matter.
Respectfully,

Dear Small City Official,
Pat Bonn1well
Administrative Advisor
PO Box 176
Dassel MN 55325
(612) 275-2707
Each year, the Minnesota Association of Small Cities appears to be having a greater impact
on both the State Legislature and State Agencies, and this year was no exception. I hope -
the enclosed report, as well as samples of some of the Action Alerts and newsletters sent out
during the past year, will give you a better understanding of the work we do on behalf of
your city and other small cities in the state.
On the Legislative front, we worked tirelessly to convince legislators to restore the Local
Government Trust Fund shortfall, to provide an increase in local government aids for 1995
and to adopt an LGA formula --supported by the Association --that is beneficial to a
majority of small cities in the state. Annexation was a new issue for the Association this
year, and without our participation, it is doubtful that legislators would have agreed to a
compromise on this issue. Our help was also needed to stop an amendment that would
have forced many cities to change their election dates from even to odd years. _We jot
called in at the last moment to help the municipal electric utilities fight a bill denying them
access to the eminent domain "quick take" procedure and were able to change some votes,
but there wasn't time to overcome the nostalgic sympathy legislators have for co-ops.
There were many other smaller issues that received our attention this year, but it generally
involved stopping legislation before it had a chance to gain a hearing.
The Association continues to serve as your advocate before State Agencies, particularly the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. We worked with the Coalition of Greater Minnesota
Cities to stop a 25 percent increase in MPCA permit fees for 1995 and continue to work
with the agency in designing a new permit fee formula. We have also worked with the State
Auditor's Office regarding its analysis of the State's property tax and local government
financing systems, with the University of Minnesota Extension Service on cooperation
between local units of government and with the Department of Trade and Economic
Development on economic development issues.
MAKING BIG THINGS HAPPEN FOR SMALL CITIES!
In order to have a better idea of what is happening in our small communities, Pat
Bonniwell, our administrative advisor, and I spent five weeks on the road last year, visiting
140 cities in all parts of the state and attending all but one of the regional meetings
sponsored by the League of Cities. It was your stories, brought back to the Legislature,
that helped us to successfully lobby on issues that affect your cities.
Now it is time to look ahead to next year, which appears to be a critical one for small cities.
The Legislature will be looking seriously at property tax reform proposals, many of which
could be harmful to most small cities. Proposals affecting annexation procedures, land use
and municipal utilities will be on the table. MPCA will finalize its new permit fee structure
and seek approval from the Legislature for rate increases.
We will continue work hard on behalf of small cities on these and many other issues, but we
cannot do it without your help and hope you will consider joining our Association in
1994-95. Our dues are low --unchanged for the third year in a row --but in order to make it
even easier for you, we are offering a 5 percent discount to cities that pay their dues
prior to July 31, 1994.
Again, I encourage you to join the Minnesota Association of Small Cities and help provide
the support needed to enable our organization to serve as a collective voice for the small
cities of the State.
Sincerely,
Nancy Lars , Executive Director

To Whom It May Concern:
Hello, my name is Stephanie Hovda and I'm the Youth Director at Word of Peace
in Rogers.
This summer we're taking a trip to Washington, D.C. with five other churches from
the surrounding communities. Youth for Christ is sponsoring a non -denominational Super
Conference for over 12,000 youth in the United States.
The Super Conference will be held from July 24-August 1 st. There will be many
speakers such as Tony Campollo and Becky Tirabassi and bands like Petra, D.C. Talk and
Pray For Rain (PFR) to name a few. The youth will be at many leadership events, so when
they come back, they will be able to be leaders in the community.
In order to go to D.C., the youth each need to raise $500.00. The total amount we
need is $12,000. We are asking if you would be willing to help us go by sponsoring one
or more of the youth with $200.00 each youth. They are each responsible for raising the
remaining $300.00 themselves.
We would greatly appreciate any help you could give us. The youth are excited to
go, and I don't want money to hold them back from a life -changing experience.
Please let me know if this will be possible by June 15th. If you need more
information, please let me know. Thank you for your time.

Dear Mr. Hennum,
It has come to my attention that your property across the street from the
Albertville Bar has an excessive amount of materials stored outside. This
situation is in violation of City Ordinance 1000.16, which states that
these materials must be stored inside a storage shed.
I understand that you had applied for a permit to construct a storage
facility on this property. The permit was denied due to the fact that the
property is not zoned for construction of only a storage shed.
Being in the real estate business, you understand the importance of
maintaining a policy of strict enforcement of zoning ordinances that are
designed to enhance the quality of life in the community. For this reason,
I'm confident that this situation is merely an oversight, and that you will
take the proper steps to remove the materials on your property. The City
will be monitoring your progress.
Mr. Hennum, thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter.
Sincerely,
Dale Powers

Dear Mr. Hennum,
It has come to my attention that your property across the street from the
Albertville Bar continues to have an excessive amount of materials stored
outside, in violation of City Ordinance 1000.16, which states that these
materials must be stored inside a storage shed.
As a result, the City must order you to put your property in compliance
with the above ordinance. Further, this compliance must be completed no
later than 4:OOpm Wednesday, June 8, 1994. If the property is not in
compliance by this time, the City will restore the property to a state that
is in compliance with the aforementioned ordinance, and assess the property
for the cost of the cleanup_
Mr. Hennum, thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter, and
have a good day.
Sincerely,

City of Albertville
Attn: Dale Powers
Regarding you letter dated June 1, 1994. Please give me your
definition of excessive, also your definition of materials.
What materials are you referring to? Were there excessive
materials stored there when the city placed piles of dirt and
equipment on my property during sewer and street construction
without my permission? Were there excessive materials on my
property in years past when the city stored piles of snow there
for the entire winters without even asking me?
I am warning you in advance. Do not tresspass on my private
property or.I will take appropiate action against you.
You should be more concerned about cleaning up the broken glass
and debris on your sidewalks and streets that we must step over,
and drive over while attempting to get into our offices on Main
Street each day.
You say "orr3ance1000.16 states these materials must be stored
inside a storage shed". Yet you say I cannot build a storage shed.
Some ordinance isIt it? My advice to you, is get rid of your
excessive ordinances and get back to common sense.
Once again I remind you, do not tresspass on my property without
my permission.
Please answer the above questions. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
James H. Hennum

RE: 1993-11A Improvement Project
Wastewater Treatment Facility Expansion
Albertville, MN
Dear Mr. Leonard:
Recently Mike Christenson and I made an inspection trip to the
wastewater project to determine if all punch list items have
been completed. Attached is the list of the items which still
need to be completed:
1. Tighten all barbed wire fence, especially near the outlet
line to Mud Lake.
2. Provide wire guard and gasketed system for double exterior
light at the southwest corner of the new building, adjacent
to the overhead garage door.
3. Provide executed warranty endorsements for the building for
the panel finish, the roof panels and pursuant to my
discussion with the building manufacturer and his paint
contractor, a letter warrantying the paint job on the
existing building for a period of ten years.
4. Caulk the new building so it does not leak.
S. Paint larger arrows on the pipe by the sludge pump.
6. Insulation under the eaves of the building is falling out.
Please replace and secure as required.
7. Repair the chain hoist where the electrical wiring pulled
out of the motor and adjust either the stop blocks or the

8. Install the loose panel on the building above the garage
door.
9. The corner of the effluent sampler building is chipped and
must be repaired.
10. Check the UV alarm to the supervisory panel. It does not
appear to be operating properly. George Nugent has checked
and said it is electrical.
11. The trim panel on the east exit door is loose and must be
re -attached.
12. Provide six operation and maintenance manuals for the alum
metering pump.
13. Provide the new alum metering pump and install as required.
The paint job on the existing building does not match the new
building. The City of Albertville is currently deciding if it is
acceptable or what additional work must be done. I will let you
know what they decide.
Upon completion of these items, I will recommend release of the
final payment to Rice Lake Contracting. Please attempt to see
that all items are taken care of as soon as possible.
In addition I wanted to let you know that the hose for the
influent sampler has broken again. Vessco has supplied addition-
al hose to make the repairs. If it occurs again, Terry Schiro of
Vessco has said they will replace the pump.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.
