4. Public Forum
Ms. Jennae Hoffman, from Property Solution LLC, who represents several Homeowner
Associations (HOA) within the City, provided an update on legislation being discussed at the
Capital. She said certain items of concern to HOA’s were no longer moving forward but added
she was concerned that the bill still included language not allowing unpaid fines to be part of a
lien on a property. She reported currently if somebody violated HOA rules, they could be
assessed fines which if not paid could be a lien on the property but if the bill were approved this
would no longer be allowed. Ms. Hoffman said if approved they may need assistance from the
City to enforce violations such as cars on blocks in the driveway or the yards not mowed because
the City could assess the property through taxes if not paid.
Wright County Commissioner Holland said she has been following the HOA bill also and
provided costly examples of companies foreclosing or putting a lien on property without proper
notice. She also reported that the Wright County Assessor’s Office has a new feature on their
website that would show the homes sold in an area that could be used when looking at market
values. She answered questions from Council.

F. Planning and Zoning
1. Backyard Chicken Discussion
City Planner Faulkner presented the staff report which included information on previous
discussions the City Council has had on backyard chickens, what surrounding communities were
allowing and possible zoning options for consideration.
City Administrator Nafstad provided additional information on the previous conversations and
added that City staff was not looking for action on the item tonight but for direction as to
whether the Council would like to move forward with the item and have the Planning
Commission discuss it.
There was Council discussion regarding backyard chickens, the pros, and cons of allowing
chickens, HOA’s not allowing chickens and the eligible parcel maps for both .5 acre and 1 acre
lots. There was concern around neighbors of the backyard chickens and enforcement issues.
Mayor Hendrickson recognized citizens in the audience and said they were welcome to speak on
the item.
Ms. Kaitlin Lougiu, 10671 Karston Ave, Albertville, reported she has been talking with
coworkers who live in Albertville, and they are also interested in this item. She said she
understands there may be concerns regarding chickens but added as in her previous speech she
recommends there be restrictions placed on those who get chickens. Ms. Lougiu provided
information on the current price and age of egg purchased in stores and added she would like to
show her children where their food comes from. She answered questions from Council.
Mr. Mike Aasen, 10508 62nd Str, Albertville, reported he agreed with the items that Ms. Lougiu
said and added that people says that they want chickens because the eggs would be cheaper but
said it was very expensive to get started. He said he was not really interested in getting chickens
himself but has met other residents that are. He suggested that the Council look at other cities’
ordinances and decide what would work best for our City. He said the same noise nuisance
problems could happen with dogs. He answered questions from Council.
Mr. Gabe Davis, 6689 Packard Ave, Otsego, reported he had chickens and said it was expensive
to get started because you needed to build the coop, purchase equipment and food along with the
fence and netting to keep predators out. He added he thought a couple of chickens was not worth
the money because he has about 20 chickens and gets about a dozen eggs a day but from October
until March his chickens do not lay any eggs, but he still need to feed and take care of them.
City Attorney Couri answered questions from Council regarding enforcement issues of an
ordinance allowing backyard chickens.
City Administrator Nafstad provided additional information about restrictions that could be part
of a licensing process for backyard chickens.
Wright County Commissioner Holland provided information on a bill going through the House
and Senate regarding feed lot rules and answered questions from Council.

the following:
MOTION TO: Approve a Temporary On-Sale Liquor License for Albertville Friendly City
Days for June 12 through June 15, 2025, for the Annual Albertville Friendly City Days Festival
contingent upon receipt of liquor liability insurance certificate.
BACKGROUND: Albertville Friendly City Days Inc has applied for a temporary on-sale liquor

Knights of Columbus, Albertville Fire Relief Association and Foxtailers Snowmobile Club for
sales at the festival. This year’s festival is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11 through Sunday

KEY ISSUES:
• Albertville Friendly City Days has applied for a temporary on-sale liquor license for the
Knights of Columbus, Albertville Fire Relief Association and Foxtailers Snowmobile
Club for this year’s Albertville Friendly City Days Festival.
• Albertville Friendly City Days is requesting to serve liquor from June 12 to June 15
during the Albertville Friendly City Days festival. As in the past, the organization along
with the Albertville Lions are requesting a flat fee of $100 to cover the application fees
for the event.
• The approval of the temporary liquor license will be contingent upon receipt of the
certificate of liquor liability insurance.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is minimal financial revenue collected from the
applicants for temporary liquor licensing.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to review and

Mayor and Council Request for Action
April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: CONSENT – FINANCE – AUTHORIZE AND DOCUMENT INTER-FUND
LOANS/ADVANCES FROM INDUSTRIAL PARK DEBT SERVICE FUND
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-10 authorizing and documenting Inter-Fund Loans
to Fund Negative Fund balances.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 17 Old Castle Fund (417) in the
amount of $231,299 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 20 Scherer Brothers Fund (420) in
the amount of $635,268 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 12 Schultz & Schupp (412) in the
amount of $420 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
• Inter-Fund Loan Capital Outlay Fund (102) to TIF# 21 Medart Fund (421) in the amount
of $11,888 to fund the negative balance in the TIF fund.
BACKGROUND: Inter-fund loans provide interim financing until the other financing is
completed. In some cases, inter-fund loans are the primary source of finance for projects that
have a very short financing term. An example of this would be carrying assessments for a project
for a few years where it is not cost effective to issue new debt. At least annually, City staff and
auditors review and recommend inter-fund loans/advances to fund running negative balances so
as to remain in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council’s policy to review and approve all
inter-fund loans/advances.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: At least annually, the City must fund all negative running
balances for Capital Projects, Debt Service, or other miscellaneous funds in accordance with
GAAP. The inter-fund loan or advance is a loan from a specific fund to the respective negative
balance funds at an interest rate equal to the rate of investment earned by the City’s investments.
Included in the loan is a financial commitment detailing the source of funds to repay the loan.
These inter-fund loans are an inexpensive way to fund some City activities instead of issuing
bonds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to review and direct
staff to act regarding all financial matters.

April 21, 2025
SUBJECT: CONSENT – PLANNING – EXTEND TERM OF PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPROVAL FOR ALBERTVILLE PLAZA 3RD ADDITION
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Extend approval of Preliminary Plat for Albertville Plaza 3rd Addition to May 30,
2025, to allow for the complete submission of a Final Plat, at 5953 Labeaux Avenue NE.
BACKGROUND: On August 16, 2024, the City of Albertville approved a three-lot commercial
preliminary plat and PUD/B-2A zoning district for a subdivision entitled Albertville Plaza 3rd
Addition at 5953 Labeaux Avenue NE. The Albertville Subdivision code requires the applicant
to submit a final plat within 100 days of preliminary plat approval. Failure to meet this
timeframe voids the preliminary plat approval.
On December 2, 2024, at the Applicant’s request, the City of Albertville approved an extension
until April 30, 2025. The Applicant is still diligently working on the development documents
and working towards purchasing/developing the property. This project is dependent on shared
private roads with Albertville Plaza 1st and Albertville Plaza 2nd, and coordination between all
parties is generally the cause of the delays.
Staff is requesting that the City Council extend the preliminary plat approval to May 30, 2025, to
allow the Applicant additional time to continue to work with the owners of the previous
subdivisions to create the access agreements needed.
KEY ISSUES:
• The City Council approved the Albertville Plaza 3rd Addition preliminary plat and a
PUD zoning district in August 2024 with specific conditions that had to be satisfied.
• The Albertville Plaza 3rd Addition is an extension of the previous Albertville Plaza
subdivisions and is reliant on the extension of the private street and utility systems. The
extension of the private street requires cross access easements between the Albertville
Plaza 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Additions.
• The original Albertville Plaza PUD required the establishment of a Business Association
to manage, maintain and repair the private street and other common elements within the
subdivision. The Association must be in place and active with this project and must
include all the Albertville Plaza additions.
• Extending the preliminary plat approval will allow the applicant to satisfy the conditions
imposed on the preliminary plat and allow the project to progress to final plat.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The extension of the Albertville Plaza 3rd
Addition approval will allow the project to proceed to the final plat. With final plat approval a
development contract will be required to allow the plat and development project to proceed.

Consent – Albertville Plaza 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat Extension Page 2 of 2
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: All required on-site, and off-site improvements shall be

preliminary plat to allow for the submission of a final plat application.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS/ENGINEERING – 2025 MAIN AVE RECONSTRUCTION
IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
MOTION TO: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-12 accepting the Low Bid for 2025 Main Avenue
Reconstruction Improvement project.
BACKGROUND: The proposed improvement project was advertised and on March 26, 2025,
the bids for the improvements were opened. A total of ten (10) bids were received with proposals
ranging from $7,793,932.91 to $9,857,186, as shown on the attached Bid Tab.
The project generally includes street and utility reconstruction between CSAH 37 and 50th Street
NE, as well as decorative street lighting, boulevard trees, new plaza areas with landscape
amenities adjacent to Central Park, additional downtown parking on 60th Street and across from
Central Park, and other related improvements.
As part of the project, but separate from the bid, is work related to undergrounding overhead
lines.
The project will require multiple construction seasons and generally scheduled as follows:
May 2025 - Small utilities begin relocations throughout corridor
June 2025 - Start Phase 1 (Cr 37 to 56th Street NE)
November 2025 - Substantial Completion of Phase 1
June 2026 - Start Phase 2 (56th Street NE to 50th Street NE)
November - 2026 Substantial Completion of Phase 2
Spring 2027 - Final lift of pavement/punchlist
KEY ISSUES:
• Low Bid for the project is $7,793,932.91
• Low Bid received by Oman Contracting, Inc.
• Project will be constructed over two years
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed project has multiple components, which
have certain funding restrictions. As such, the project will be funded through multiple funds
including bond proceeds, reserves, grant funds, state aid allotment, enterprise revenue, and tax
levy. Funding for the project may change based on other projects the City is considering. Once
the Central Park bids are received, staff will develop financing options for Council consideration
on both projects.
