DATE: March 25, 1997
TO: City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJ : April 1st Agenda - Overview
CONSENT -ITEMS:
(d) Special Council meeting required for April 15th. Items
for consideration are: (1) 1996 Audit Report Presentation, (2) TIF
for Senior Housing, (3) Other.
(h) Resolution #1997-21 (Appointment of Economic Development
Commissioners) is to fill out the EDA. Presently, the City is
required to have seven commissioners. Due to the lack of EDA
projects today, we prepared a resolution that includes five city
council members and two community (business owner) members. This
can be changed anytime when your need arises. For today, we would-.,,,
have seven commissioners.
NOTE: Long term, I (Gary Hale) believe you would be well served by
having five commissioners, and you can reduce the number of Council
members to achieve this. Further, at the time of this note, your
two major industrial parks are held by two private property owners.
When this changes, or they want a cooperative plan with the city,
we may become more involved -with economic development. The 1997
legislature has before it bills to shut off all TIF's back to
March, 1997. At this time, there is no point in getting real
involved or excited.* Reminder --there is an LGA penalty for most
TIF projects.
(k) Spring Clean Up Day - Sharry Berning, City of ST.
Michael, and I (Linda) suggest Saturday, May 2nd, as our annual
joint clean-up day. This year we will have the drop-off at the
former Frankfort Hall site from 8:00 AM to 12:OO noon. As usual,
oil, oil filters, tires, and appliances will be recycled. This
year we will also have garbage and scrap metal drop, (for a fee).
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
(a) Center Oaks Industrial Park Feasibility Study will be
formally be presented by City Engineer Carlson. Final copies will
be distributed at the Council meeting.
NEW BUSINESS:
(a) Contracted Mowing - The Public Works Committee met at
6:30 PM on April 1st and may offer additional information.
Administrator's Recommendation: PW Committee recommendation
(b) Veteran's Preference Appointment - to discuss
appointment. Councilmember suggestions - Rick Wacker, Bob Braun,
Steve Rlitzka, Amy Dinkel. More names can be submitted for
consideration at the meeting.
Administrator's Recommendation: Accept veteran appointment
and select council appointment. Further, to follow the formal
process
(c) Senior Housing TIF #7 - First step to a TIF project is
ordering the public hearing. The project is for the rental
property.
(d) Vetsch Custom Cabinets TIF proposal to be presented by
attorney. Although a fully executed agreement to purchase the
property has not been executed as of this date, a public hearing
for the proposed TIF should be scheduled at this time. If the land
purchase agreement falls through, the public hearing can be
cancelled.
(e) Resolution #1997-27 restricts parking along the improved
CSAH 19/37. The parking restrictions are necessary in order for
MnDOT to approve the standard of design that is incorporated into--,,
the plan. The resolution must accompany the plan submittal to
MnDOT.
(f) Resolution #1997-22 - With the resignation of former
Council Member Muyres, you had a vacancy now filled by
Councilmember Gundersen. Mayor Olson has had a goal of keeping
Council member work load equally distributed between members. You
now have vacancies and may desire to realign current committee
assignments. Please find Resolution #1997-1 with the January 6,
1997, Council assignments and Resolution #1997-22 for your use in
amending to include changes.
(g) Resolution #1997-25 is an agreement with the state in
regards to the federal and state disaster aid the city applied for
earlier. After submission of the executed documents, the City will
receive $5,085 in federal disaster funds and $977 in state disaster
funds.

ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
March 17, 1997
Albertville City Hall 7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Mark Olsen, Councilmembers Patricia
Stalberger, Duane Berning, and John Vetsch, City Administrator
Garrison Hale, City Clerk Linda Houghton, City Engineer Peter
Carlson and City Attorney Mike Couri
Mayor Olsen called the special meeting of the Albertville City
Council to order.
The agenda was amended by adding Item 2h (Memo from City
Attorney Mike Couri requesting an update on the Peterson property
appraisal). Berning made a motion to approve the agenda as
amended. Stalberger seconded the motion. All voted.aye.'
The Council discussed the vacancy created by the resignation
of Councilmember Curt Muyres. Councilmember Berning stated he
would prefer to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. Mayor Olsen
prefers to advertise for candidates, review the resumes, and
interview candidates prior to filling the vacancy. Berning stated
he is not opposed to appointing Mr. Robert Gundersen, the candidate
who ran for a seat on the Council in November. Berning further
stated that a precedent was set six or more years ago when a
candidate who had run for a seat on the Council was appointed to
fill an unexpired Council term.
Mayor Olsen stated he still prefers advertising for candidates
for the position.
A resident of Albertville, Gary McCormack, stated his opinion
that Robert Gundersen would be a good voice for the City and a
"good fit" with this Council.
Stalberger made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1997-18 titled
APPOINTMENT OF CITY COUNCIL MEMBER appointing Robert Gunderson to
the office of Councilmember to fill the unexpired term of Curt
Muyres, which ends the first business day in January, 1999.
Berning seconded the motion. Vetsch, Berning, and Stalberger voted
aye. Olsen abstained. The motion carried.
City Clerk Houghton administered the oath of office to Mr.
Gunderson, who was seated on the Council immediately thereafter.

Policy, as revised on March 8, 1997. Berning made a motion to
adopt RESOLUTION #1997-10 titled SNOW PLOWING AND ICE CONTROL
POLICY. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Administrator Hale informed the Council that he wants a
designated alternate appointed as Coordinator. Mayor Olsen does
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
March 17, 1997
Page 2 of 5
not want a specific delegated alternate. Hale advised the Council
that in the event he was not in the City, John Vetsch will be the
number one alternate, Mark Olsen the number two alternate, and Ken
Lindsay the number three alternate. Lindsay questioned if this
meant that he was not authorized to plow snow without consent from
the administrator or one of the alternates. The Council clarified
that the coordinator, or his alternate, need be involved in
emergency situations, not day-to-day routine plowing.
City Attorney► Mike Couri discussed the parameters of the
Veteran's Preference Hearing on this issue of eliminating the
Public Works Coordinator position. Couri reported that Mr. Lindsay
has contacted him to discuss a settlement offer to avoid the
hearing process. Lindsay would drop his request for a hearing if
the Council agreed to reinstate him to the position of Public Works
Coordinator and offer him a raise. No amount or percentage for the
raise has been included. Attorney Couri stated he feels Lindsay's
offer is not much of a compromise. Berning and Vetsch agreed.
- If it is the consensus of the Council to deny the offer
proposed by Mr. Lindsay, Couri recommends proceeding with an formal
process. This requires that the Council appoint an unbiased,
reputable person to the committee, neither a member of the -�
presently or previously seated Council nor city employees. Mr.
Lindsay will appoint one person of his choice, and the two members
will mutually agree on a third member. The City is responsible for
paying all three of the committee members. Couri also urged the
Council to hire a court reported to transcribe the hearing for the
record.
CounAlmember Stalberger asked how much the City would pay
each member. Couri stated there are no rules or guidelines
established for the procedure, other than the hearing must be held.
Couri will check whether the meeting is open ,or if it can be
closed.
Mayor Olsen recommended that the city administrator put
together a list of potential appointees for consideration for
appointment as the City representative for the Veteran's Preference
Hearing at the April 1, 1997, Council meeting.
Vetsch made a motion to deny the settlement offer proposed by
Mr. Lindsay. Stalberger seconded the motion. Olsen, Vetsch,
Berning and Stalberger voted aye. Gundersen abstained. The motion
carried.
Virgil Hawkins, Assistant Wright County Engineer, reviewed the
plans and specs for the CSAH 19/37 Intersection Realignment Project
with the Council.
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
March 17, 1997
Page 3 of 5
Berning made a motion to adopt RESOLUTION #1997-20 titled
RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING
ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS for the CSAH 19/37 Intersection Realignment
Project. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Wayne Kessler, representing the St. Michael City Council,
addressed the Council concerning the transportation plan as
proposed for the City of St. Michael. St. Michael is requesting
the City of Albertville support St. Michael's efforts to have Nabor
Avenue NE declared a major arterial. St. Michael proposes to
construct a bridge, with or without exit/entrance ramps, over I-94
at Nabor Avenue.
City Engineer Peter Carlson explained that the St. Michael
plan is a double-edged sword for Albertville. It will increase
traffic through the residential areas of 50th Street at the same
time making an easier, more direct access to the industrial park.
A full interchange on I-94 at Nabor Avenue would put our industrial
park in competition with the industrial park proposed by St.
Michael for the Nabor Avenue area.
Vetsch made a motion to table a decision on supporting the St.
Michael Transportation Plan to the April 1, 1997, meeting. _x
Stalberger seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Arlan Middleton, representing Middleton & Associates
Insurance, who has been the City's agent of record since 1977,
addressed the Council regarding the Council's March 3, 1997,
decision to change agents. Middleton expressed concerns over how
the agent of record appointment was made. He further stated he was
not opposed to making a presentation or being interviewed by the
Council for the agent of record position, but he felt that his not
being notified of the pending action or having the opportunity to
address the Council prior to their action was unjust.
Stalberger made a motion to rescind her March 3, 1997, motion
appointing Francis Beaudry of Beaudry Insurance as Agent of Record.
Further, to reappoint Arlan Middleton of Middleton Associates as
Agent of Record. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Councilmember Berning removed himself from the Council
Chambers prior to opening discussion on the Vetsch Custom Cabinets
purchase agreement.
City Attorney Couri presented the purchase agreement and an
addendum negotiated with David and Jeanne Vetsch. The purchase
offer is for the Vetsches to purchase approximately two acres of
the original lot for $8,000, with the City paying the outstanding
special assessments and properly subdividing the property. The
ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL
SPECIAL MEETING
March 17, 1997
Page 4 of 5
Vetsches agree to construct a building (approximately $230,000
value) on the property by October 31, 1998. The purchase price
will be adjusted based on the amount of soil corrections necessary
(estimated at $40,000 at this time) --upwards if the soil
corrections are less than the estimate, or downward, if the soils
corrections exceed the estimate. Amore accurate estimate is being
prepared at this time and the $40,000 base figure as included in
the addendum will probably be increased. The offer is contingent
upon the purchaser getting financing for the project at 11% or
less.
Mayor Olsen suggested that the purchase offer be restructured
by lowering the purchase price by the amount of the outstanding
assessments and requiring the buyer to pay the special assessments.
The buyers wish to purchase only the buildable portion of the
lot, not the wetland areas. The buyers are fearful that at some
future point the City will assess the costs of improving the road,
etc,: and the wetland areas of the lot will be assessable.
The agreement also requires a Tax Increment Financing
Reimbursement Agreement be executed between the City and the
buyers. The tax increment financing district will be a pay-as-you-
go plan.
Olsen made a motion approving the purchase agreement with the
following amendments:
(1) The base figure listed in Article 3, Paragraphs a, b, and
c is adjusted to the estimated costs being prepared.
(2) The minimum purchase price in Article 3(c) will be the
amount of the City;s closing costs.
(3) The buyer will purchase the entire 8.32 acre lot, thereby
eliminating. the need to re -survey and suddivide the
property. The City agrees not to assess the wetland
portion of the lot as long as the property remains
undevelopable.
(4) The selling price of the lot will be lowered by the
amount of special assessments outstanding on the
property.
The motion further authorizes the city attorney to send the
preliminary TIF information to Kennedy & Graven to begin work on
the TIF district. Stalberger seconded the motion. All voted aye.
City Attorney Couri explained that because there is still a
question regarding the validity of the lot split of the Peterson
property, he is recommending that the appraisal of the property be
updated to reflect the design changes and the new property
information.

AL13ERTVILLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
Monthly Operations Report
February 1997
Executive Summary
As expected, Albertville did not meet its NPDES permit requirement for Phosphorous in
February, with effluent phosphorous averaging 1.53 mg/I. Effluent averaged 11.0 mg/I Total
Suspended Solids and 2.8 mg/I Biochemical Oxygen Demand.
Operations
February began knowing phosphorous removal would likely be a problem. The dissolved oxygen
levels in Pond #3 dropped to less than 0.5 mg/I and extreme cold temperatures affected settling.
After the initial effluent sample that did not meet limits, Ferric Chloride replaced alum for
phosphorous removal. Polymer was being added since mid -January. A couple of different
changes were made in order to bring the phosphorous levels down to within permit limits.
Additionally, the effective dose was higher than initially anticipated.
Ultimately, 45-50 gallons of Ferric Chloride per day was necessary to remove the phosphorous.
Also, a large mixer was installed in the chemical mixing chamber to improve chemical reaction
prior to polymer addition for settling. Sampling was then accelerated in attempt to bring the
monthly average down, but enough time was not available. Once the optimum combination was
found, the effluent improved drastically. The costs associated with these operations and some
altematives will be evaluated. it appears that this type of treatment on a long-term basis would
be quite costly.
The UV system was prepared for initiation of operation for March 1.
Maintenance
• Alum feed pump was rebuilt
• Aerator amp readings were taken and the shafts were greased.
• Polymer feed pump was repaired.
• Prepared separate metering pump for use with Ferric Chloride.
• Influent and effluent samplers were cleaned thoroughly.
• Westwind lift station pump #1 failed. A relay was ordered to replace a failed one in the
control panel.
• Serviced the backup generator and changed fuel filter.
• Replaced pen arm on DR-4500 effluent chart recorder.
• Serviced Wemco sludge pump.
• installed large mixer for chemical mixing chamber.
• Prepared and initiated UV system.
• Thoroughly cleaned entire polymer system.
• Changed location of metering pump for Ferric Chloride after installing a gate valve in
preparation for using bulk shipment of Ferric. Washed out the 3000 gallon tank for this,
also.

Safety training is ongoing.

RE: CITY OF OTSEGO
Honorable Chair and Board Members:
I have been directed by the Mayor and City Council to write and advise you on the status
Of matters in the City of Otsego. It is our understanding that a number of possible
contacts have been made with your agency regarding possible detachment of properties
from Otsego. The Mayor and City Council oppose such possible actions, at least at the
present. Over our short history, we have continued to make steady progress. This is is
spite of the fact that we have been interrupted on occasion due to pressing matters such
as the division of Frankfort Township and the trade of lands involving the City of
Albertville. In the following paragraphs, the history of the City and its work is outlined.
As you probably know, Otsego was incorporated in 1990. The Township of Otsego hired
a planning consultant in March of 1989 (Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. Mr.
David Licht). Mr. Licht and his staff were hired to help guide us with our
Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision/Zoning Ordinances and other planning. The sewer and
water facilities plan was completed by our contracted engineering firm of Hakanson
Anderson Associates, Inc., Mr. Larry Koshak, Engineer. The Comprehensive Plan was
drafted to receive wastewater treatment services from the City of Elk River in the NE:
area of the City. The Township of Otsego and City of Elk River had met and agreed
upon an amount of capacity which would be sold to Otsego. Before the City of Otsego
could receive services from Elk River, the City of Elk River experienced rapid growth
and determined that they needed the capacity..
Otsego has continued to allow development only as infill in the immediate urban service
area with one acre lots. These one acre lots had previously been allowed under Wright
County jurisdiction. Therefore, the development was already a fact for Otsego at
the time of incorporation in 1990, (the population was over 5,000).
Otsego continues to be very conscious of good planning and land management. We also
continue to explore ways in which we can obtain municipal sewer and water service.

A regional sewage treatment facility was explored by the three communities of Otsego,
Frankfortand Dayton working together to solve their sewage treatment problems. A
Wastewater Treatment Facilities Plan was contracted for with the engineering firm of
Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik and Associates and received in June of 1996. The three
communities had many joint meetings and agreed to pursue this regiotmi plant. Due to
the fact that Otsego/FrankfOWSt Michael and Albertville were involved in annexation/
consolidation issues, the regional sewage treatment facility was temporarily stalled until
the annexation/consolidation issues could be worked out. With the consolidation of St
Michael/Frankfort and the annexation of portions of Frankfort to Otsego and Albertville,
the result was that the wastewater treatment facilities plan was obsolete. Therefore,
Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik and Associates has been contracted to update the wastewater
treatment facilities plan with the new boundaries and information.
Elk River had a change in plans and upgraded their sewage treatment facility to obtain
again as much capacity as they originally had The Cities of Otsego and Elk River
recently met in a sub -committee to explore the possibility of obtaining sewage treatment
capacity from Elk River to Otsego and sharing of other services. The City Engineers of
each of these communities are working on a proposal to determine if buying capacity
from Elk River is feasible on a short term basis for the City of Otsego.
The Cities of Otsego and Dayton are also still meeting. The objective of these meetings
is a joint sewage treatment facility. The City of Otsego Mayor and Council have set a
deadline of April 28,1997 to decide if they will go ahead with the joint facility or not.
The two Cities are committed to a joint sewage treatment facility if they can find a way
to make it cost effective.
Mayor Fournier has appointed a sub -committee of two Council Members from Otsego
to meet with a sub -committee of two Council Members from Albertville to explore the
options of obtaining sewer and water services in the area surrounding Albertville in the
southwestern portion of Otsego.
Since incorporation, a new City Hall/Community Center has been planned and built.
We have established a Park and Rec. Commission, .Economic Development Authority,
Economic Development Authority Advisory Commission and Historic Preservation
Commission. We have originated a City Newsletter, Stormwater Drainage Districts,
MSA road system, Wild and Scenic, Feedlot, Antenna, Sewage Disposal, Historic
Preservation ordinances and more, a Comprehensive Park and Trail Recreation Plan,
atud napping of our City. We have had topographical maps made for the eastern half of

Otsego. We have adopted the 1988 Building Code and have hired a contracted Building
Official. We are a growing City with many challenges, but we have and will work to
meet these challenges.
We are currently in the process of updating Otsego's Comprehensive Plan which was
implemented in September of 1991. The Tactics Study and Inventory have been
completed. We however, need more infonnation and decisions on City services,
especially possible sewer before we can continue.
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our efforts and to update you on our
continuing activities. The Mayor, Council and Staff Of Otsego have worked diligently
and take the platting of our Community vary seriously. Ona of the reasons we became
incorporated in 1990 is to be able to control our destiny. We are actively pursuing this
objective.
Mayor Fournier and the Council Members of Otsego invite you to attend a Council
Meeting and meet with us, should you care to see first hand the progress which has been
made and the work which is being undertaken. - -
We all thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Houghton:
This letter is a follow up to my recent loss control visit to the City of Albertville. This visit was
in conjunction with the city's participation in the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
property and casualty program. The purpose of my visit was to assist the city in the reduction of
potential loss through loss control and risk management activities.
I did have one recommendation for the city's consideration in helping to reduce loss potential.
This recommendation is as follows:
1-2/97 Consideration should be given to an annual inspection of city traffic control signs. This
inspection should include the condition of the signs, their location, blocking of the signs
by vegetation or trees and a possible replacement schedule for signs which are
weathering. I am sending a sample sign inspection form for your use in developing a
specific inspection for the signs in the City of Albertville.
The long-term benefits and successes that can be enjoyed by a cooperative, self-insurance
organization depend upon serious and careful consideration of loss control recommendations. In
that context, we ask that you keep us informed of the steps you take to address this loss control
recommendation. Therefore, please respond within 60 days of your receipt of this letter regarding
the status of how you intend to respond to this loss control recommendation.
I thank you for the time and courtesy extended to me at the time of my loss control visit. If you
have any questions concerning any aspect of the report, please contact me at (612) 376-4239.
Sincerely,
I�/
