handling the bus accident in 2008 and the recent tanker accident in 2009.

potential of a major incident.
Mayor Klecker wanted to make sure that staff was prepared in the case of an H1N1 potential

As shared earlier, there have been a number of phone calls and an e-mail regarding the
downtown establishments and installing a fence. In the CUP one of the conditions was to install
or construct a fence along the property,if the need arose. There is a resident who has had an
increase in trash on their property since the re -development of the downtown. The owner has
also experenced glaring headlights through the owner's windows.
Brixius continued by informing the Council that staff is strategizing and preparing a letter to the
two (2) businesses that were part of the Downtown Re -development. Staff has been in contact
with Deb Holm, the owner of the 152 Club, and is aware that a letter is forthcoming.
Brixius was basically `looking for Council direction on how to proceed. Mayor Klecker and the
Council were on board with staff doing their best to enforce the fence portion of the CUP.

Written Update on Kalland Avenue NE Sidewalk and Adopt one (1) of the four (4) Options
City Engineer Nafstad drafted four (4) options per Council direction at the September 8, 2009
Council meeting. Below are the four (4) options for Council to consider regarding the Kalland
Avenue NE sidewalk issue/concern.
Option 1: Remove and Replace Sidewalk at an estimated cost of $46,400. This is the
staff recommended option that will provide the desired walkway and achieve accessibility
compliance. This option assumes the Contractor is paid $20,400 for the original walk and
$12,000 for the replacement walk. It is estimated that approximately $14,000 of driveway
patching will be required with this option. It is also assumed Public Works will be
responsible for all removals, yard grading, topsoil and turf restoration, and their associated
costs. It should be noted that this option will require modification to driveway and yard
grades. To accommodate the required sidewalk grades, driveway slopes will have to be
increased. This option will require close coordination with the effected residents, whom
may not like the necessary impacts to their driveways 11and yards. Costs associated with
overhead and engineering have not been, included in the above estimate.
Option 2: Remove Sidewalk and Restore Boulevard with Turf at an estimated cost of
$27,400. This option assumes the entire sidewalk is removed and standard residential
concrete aprons are installed at all driveways. It is also assumed Public Works will be
responsible for all removals, yard grading, and topsoil and turf restoration, and their
associated costs.
Option 3: Remove Portions' of the Sidewalk at an estimated cost of $24,400. This option
addresses the sidewalk in front of the driveway closest to 57th Street, which has a cross -
slope that'exteeds 12%. This option assumes that the entire driveway will have to be
replaced, as well as, approximately 100' of walk. This option will require yard grading and
assumes Public Works will be responsible for all removals, grading, and turf restoration.
This option does not achieve accessibility compliance.
Option 4: Accept Sidewalk As -Constructed at an estimated cost of $20,400. This option
assumes the sidewalk is accepted as -constructed and does not achieve accessibility
compliance.
After listening to staff s options, evaluating the situation and taking into account the potential
liability the majority of the Council wanted to correct the sidewalk concerns as soon as possible.
The Council realized there were no funds in the budget to correct the sidewalk, but did not want
to take a risk that the sidewalk issue would be forgotten if they corrected it in the near future.
Having discussed the options and taking into consideration of potentially putting the general
public at risk of injury the Council made the following motion:

e Resolution No. 2009-033 entitled Consent to Charter Restructuring
City Attorney Couri implied that this is a technical matter requiring formal City approval of the
change in ownership of Charter. Charter Cable Company filed for federal bankruptcy protection
under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code in March 2009. As part of its restructuring in

There was concern from the Council regarding the $100 registration fee and who would be
responsible for paying this fee. Council expressed another concern regarding the Public Works

City Attorney Couri informed the Council that Albertville Marketplace, LLC (Phil Morris) has
applied for a building permit to construct a gas station/convenience store/restaurant on lot 2 of
Albertville Marketplace. The City Engineer has calculated the SAC charge to be $50,600.00 and
the City -portion of the WAC charge to be $10,450.00. The Developer is now requesting that the
City special assess the combined $61,050.00 in SAC and WAC charges to the property as a means
of making it easier for the Developer to cash flow the start-up costs of the project (the Developer
has paid the $20,702 Joint Powers portion of the WAC fee). The City has special assessed SAC
and WAC fees to other restaurants and buildings in the past, including Perkins, D. Michael B's and
the Country Inn and Suites. The attached agreement requires the Developer to waive its right to
appeal the special assessment to District Court.
Couri noted the key issues relating to the special assessment of SAC and WAC, which included:
• The assessment is proposed to be over a three year period at 6.2% interest.
• The assessment becomes a lien on the property collectible with the taxes, and thus has
priority over all mortgages and other liens that may come onto the property.
• The proposed 6.2% interest rate represents a much better rate of return than what the City
can earn on its investments
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay to approve the
Albertville Marketplace (Lot 2, Block 1) Agreement for Waiver of Objection to Special
Assessment for SAC ($50,600) and WAC (City -portion $10,450) Charges; in which the
Developer has requested that the City Special Assess the combined $61,050 in SAC and WAC
charges to the property known as Lot 2 of Albertville` Marketplace and be it known that the
Developer has paid the $20,702 Joint Powers Water Board portion of the WAC charges; in
addition, the approval of this agreement will delay,payment of the $61,050 over a three-year
period at 6.2% interest: Motion carried unanimously.

City Attorney Couri asked the Council if they had any questions or wanted additional

ADMINISTRATION
Oral City Administrator's Update
Noise Complaints
City Administrator Kruse updated the Council on the `Downtown' business establishments.
Kruse was pleased to report that the door prompting is being handled; Ias well as the direction of
the band is being taken care of. The current situation that has arisen may have to deal with the
"Clean -Air" act that went into effect in October 2008, in which patrons or customers are not
allowed to smoke within a restaurant or other type of business establishment.
Over the past months, it has been noticed that more and more customers are out on the sidewalk,
street or in the parking lot areas enjoying a cigarette with a possible alcoholic beverage in hand.
Staff reported that Full Moon Saloon & Bar has constructed a handicap ramp/deck, in which
people are congregating on. Staff has notified the owner that a Building Permit is required for
the deck.
There was discussion between staff and the Council as to whether the Council would like to get
stronger with enforcing the noise complaints. There was no specific direction given from the
Council as to whether or not to have staff get more forceful in enforcing the Albertville City
Code.
Staff will basically continue #o monitor and research more as to why individuals are outdoors
and if the customers have an alcoholic bevera;;e'in their hand or not.

SUBJECT: 0 PUBLIC WORKS - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN WRIGHT
COUNTY AND THE CITY OF ALBERTVILLE TO PURCHASE SALT FOR THE 2009-2010 SNOW AND ICE
REMOVAL SEASON
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider the
following motion:
Motion: approve the Memorandum of Understanding Between Wright County and the City of
Albertville for the Purchase of Salt for the 2009-2010 Snow and Ice Removal Season for $73.98 per
ton, which will be subject to a Fuel Clause.
BACKGROUND: The City of Albertville has been purchasing salt from Wright County since
2006. Albertville Public Works employees load salt from the Wright County Maintenance Facility
north of Albertville in the City of Otsego on an as needed basis, which has been working out rather
well. A daily journal will be kept by the City to record each load that is picked up by the City crews
for billing purposes. The quantity of the load for each truck will be determined initially by
weighing the truck before and after loading it with sand and salt at a certified scale.
In 2006-2007, the City paid $54.83 per ton of sand and salt mixture from the County. During the
2007-2008 winter season the City paid $57.32 per ton; and in 2008-2009 the City paid $64.20 per
ton. Pricing does appear to have gone up a fair amount in 2009-2010, which could be due to the
price of fuel to ship.
KEY ISSUES:
• The County facility is nearby and by using the County's facility it reduces redundancy of
facilities and allows for bulk purchase pricing.
• Contributes towards an improved relationship with Wright County and the City of
Albertville.
• County has the ability to store the sand and salt mixture; otherwise, the City would need to
dedicate land and construct a building to store the product.
• The City would have to contact vendor to obtain prices, order supplies, and arrange for an
employee to be available for delivery.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy to work with fellow government agencies
when possible and to review and approve various agreements between them.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The County purchases salt in large volumes at competitive
prices and the City benefits from these quantity purchases. The City does not have a storage cost or

environmental concerns of owning a separate facility. The Public Works Dept. annually budgets for
ice control. The amount used in any winter depends on the severity of the weather. The price for the
2009-2010 Snow and Ice Removal Season is $73.98 per ton, which salt prices will also be subject to
a Fuel Clause in our State Salt Contract that states that an increase of over 20% in fuel costs will be
passed on to the customer.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve agreements
that the City enters into pursuant to Minnesota State Law.

and without load at a certified scale.

SUBJECT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT — MONTHLY UTILITY BILLING
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion authorizing staff to implement monthly utility billing effective January 1, 2010.
BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City of Albertville switched from quarterly billing to every other
month and monthly billing has been discussed for the past few years. The intention has been to
move to monthly billing once radio read installation is near completion. The City of Albertville is
at that point with approximately 316 meters left to install.
The benefits for going to monthly billing are:
1. Increasing demand for monthly billing by residents to ease the personal budgeting process
and create consistency knowing each month, in essence, a smaller bill is due.
2. Provide easier collection process and to catch foreclosures or bankruptcies before it is too
late due to legal timing and minimize write offs
3. Provides consistent cash flow
4. Allows customers to see their usage and control it more closely.
5. Provide earlier detection of leaks or other water issues
6. Allows people to be more comfortable with Auto Pay (ACH) and e-billing
KEY ISSUES:
• Increasing demand/requests for monthly billing
• Early Detection
• No significant budget increases related to a monthly billing cycle
PRACTICES/POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy to review and approve any
changes in the utility billing cycle
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant budget increases related to a
monthly billing cycle.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: none

SUBJECT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT — UPGRADE RADIO READING EQUIPMENT AND
SOFTWARE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion authorizing staff purchase/upgrade of the Neptune Reading Equipment and software for
radio read in the amount of $10,500.
BACKGROUND: The City of Albertville purchased a hand held receiver used for meter install
and reading. The cost for the upgrade has been planned for and budgeted over several years with
the knowledge that by 2010 we would have to purchase new equipment for reading the meters.
Our current hand held will no longer be serviceable after 2010. The City of Albertville would
keep the current hand held unit for installs until it fails (there is no trade in value for the old unit)
while using the new unit for reading.
The upgraded unit has a filter that only picks up the radio waves from the water meters, not
unwanted radio waves, making the unit read faster. Also, it can run off the truck battery which
solves the issue we have had with the hand held of battery replacement due to charging issues.
KEY ISSUES:
• Required upgrade by the end of 2010
• Old hand held is obsolete and will not have service options when it fails
• Faster reading of the routes
• Solves our battery issues
PRACTICES/POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy to review and approve
any purchases of new equipment or upgrades.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant budget increases related to the
purchase of the unit. The amount is in Capital Reserves in the Water/Sewer Funds planning for
the future upgrade.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: none

RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
Motion: approve Resolution No. 2009-034 entitled a Resolution Setting Water Utility Rates,
increasing the rate for the water utility as follows effective January 1, 2010.
Bi-Monthly Rates Monthly Rates
0-6,667 Gallons $6.67 0-3,333 Gallons $4.39
6,668-13,335 gal. $.71 per 1,000 over 6667 3,334-6,667 gal. $.71 per 1,000 over 3,333
13,336-23,335 gal. $.76 per 1,000 over 13,335 6,668-11,667 gal. $.76 per 1,000 over 6,667
Over 23,336 gal. $.81 per 1,000 over 23,335 Over 11,668 gal. $.81 per 1,000 over 11,668
Motion: approve Resolution No. 2009-035 entitled a Resolution Setting Sewer Utility Rates,
increasing the rate for the sewer utility as follows effective January 1, 2010.
Bi-Monthly Rates Monthly Rates
0-10,000 Gallons $33.64 0-5,000 Gallons $17.87
Over 10,000 gal. $.36 per 1,000 Over 5,000 gal. $.36 per 1,000
Motion: allow staff to implement cost savings reduction on utility bills for residents that opt to
receive an e-bill (no paper bill) and/or sign up for (ACH) Auto Pay effective January 1, 2010.
BACKGROUND: The City of Albertville has not raised water or sewer rates since 2006 and the
intention was to raise rates between 2-3% annually. Since the rates have not been raised since
2006 it creates a larger increase needed today.
To help residents with the increase staff recommends that for those who sign up for e-billing we
share the cost savings with the resident by reducing their bill by $2.17. By using e-billing it
saves the City of Albertville $2.17 per bill that is not mailed out. The cost savings come from
not using postage, paper, envelopes, printing, and administration time. In addition, staff also
recommends for those who sign up for Auto Pay (ACH) from checking or savings account we
share the cost savings with the resident by reducing their bill by $2.03. By using (ACH) Auto
Pay the City of Albertville saves $2.03 per payment. The cost savings come from the
administrative costs of processing the payment. Therefore, if a resident signs up for e-billing and
(ACH) Auto Pay via checking or savings account they could save $4.20 per bill. The discount
for Auto Pay (ACH) only is when the City requests the money from their bank electronically.

KEY ISSUES:
• Have not raised rates since 2006
• Share cost savings by passing the savings on to the residents who sign up for e-bill and/or
Auto Pay (ACH).
PRACTICES/POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy to review and approve
any rate changes for utilities.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Since the City of Albertville has not maintained the long
range plan of small water/sewer increases each year of 2-3%, especially having no increases
since 2006 creates a larger increase to catch back up to the plan. The water/sewer rates cover not
only operating expenses annually, but capital improvement for the future and maintenance. To
help offset the increases needed, staff recommends passing on the cost savings to the residents if
they sign up for e-billing and auto pay (ACH).

SUBJECT: CITY COUNCIL - LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE POLICY RENEWAL
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council adopt the
following:
Motion approve the 2009-2010 Insurance Proposal from the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust (LMCIT) as presented by Middleton & Associates, Inc. and on file in the office
of the City Clerk with a $1,000 deductible.
BACKGROUND: Annually, the City reviews and renews insurance coverage for property,
inland marine, comprehensive general liability and public official's liability. The League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust was formed to provide insurance for cities across Minnesota. In
the past, private insurance companies either pulled out of the municipal market or raised
premiums so high; cities had to seek an alternative source of insuring themselves. According to
Arlan Middleton, there are very few if any insurance companies that are competitive or even
writing policies for municipal government. When they do, they do not cover public official's
liability, no fault sewer backup; open meeting law or Land Use Regulation claims including legal
costs. Under the program cities develop a loss rating and are paid a dividend when they have
good experience and if they have significant losses their rating increases.
The City has in recent years waived our monetary limits on tort liability and purchases additional
coverage up to the $1,000,000 per occurrence and in aggregate. The 2009-10 policy again
reflects waiving the tort limit.
• The total insurance premium is going down from $105,399 to $92,622 and decrease of
12.13% in premium. The majority of this decrease is due to the liability with the lawsuits
coming to a close.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The City does not have a policy on insurance and these issues
are handled on a case by case basis.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The 2008-09 premiums were $105,399 and the proposed
premium for 2009-10 is $92,622 or a 12.13% decrease. The City has budgeted $112,000 in our
2010 budget.

SUBJECT: PLANNING -APPLICATION FOR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION VACANCY
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion accept the Planning and Zoning Recommendation to Appoint Natalya Lindberg to fill
the vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission effective immediately, which will finish
out 2009 and run for a three-year term that will expire December 31, 2012.
BACKGROUND: Scott Dorenbush resigned from the Planning and Zoning Commission at the
July 2009 regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Staff advertised to fill the
vacancy, in which the City received one (1) application from Natalya Lindberg.
Ms. Lindberg was present at the September Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to answer
any questions. No additional questions or comments were asked of the applicant because she
attended the July 2009 meeting when the 54tb Street NE redevelopment was discussed; therefore,
a recommendation was made by the Planning and Zoning Commission to appoint Ms. Lindberg
to fill the vacancy on the P&Z Commission effective immediately.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
appointing Natalya Lindberg to fill the vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission upon
City Council approval at the October 5, 2009 regular City Council meeting or a meeting soon
thereafter, at which time the member will be added to the Planning and Zoning Commission
roster, and Planning and Zoning Commission packets will be sent via the US Postal Service.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to this
recommendation.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no legal issues related to this recommendation.

A) of the 2005 Albertville Municipal City Code relating to prohibited trees within the City.
BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Commission met and held a public hearing on
Wednesday, September 9, 2009, to consider an ordinance amendment to Section 1000.7 of the
City Code to make the following revisions:
1) Amend the list of landscaping species suitable for planting within the City;
2) Establish a list of trees that would be prohibited from being planted within the public rights -
of -way in the City of Albertville; and
3) Establish a list of trees that would be prohibited from being planted anywhere within the
City of Albertville.
KEY ISSUES:
This issue was raised because of the concern surrounding the spread of Emerald Ash
Borers.
Staff conducted research on other municipalities' Landscaping Ordinances and found that
some communities have outright banned the planting of certain tree species, while others
have banned the planting of certain tree species just within the public rights -of -way.
Based on other community prohibited tree lists and recommendations from NAC's staff
Landscape Architecture, staff recommends the following changes to the Ordinance:
1) Removal of the following species from the "suitable planting list" in the Ordinance
(Section 1000.7.17):
• Amur maple/ Acer ginnala
Norway maple/ Acer platanoides (and varieties)
White ash/ Fraxinus Americana
• Green ash/ Fraxinus pennsylvanica, lanceolate (and varieties)
2) Adding the following list of trees to be prohibited within the public rights -of -way in the
city, along with the reason for their prohibition in parenthesis (Section 1000.7.F2):
• Amur maple (invasive species per MnDNR)
• Norway maple (invasive species per MnDNR)
• Silver maple (messy and storm prone)
• Box elder (messy and storm prone)

SUBJECT: PLANNING - PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR A LAND FILL OR LAND
EXCAVATION/GRADING PERMIT — ORDINANCE AMENDMENT (SECTIONS 1800.1 & 1900.1)
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion approve Ordinance Number 2009-020, entitled an Ordinance amending Section 1800.1
(Land Filling Operations) and Section 1900.1 (Land Excavation/Grading), relating to the
stipulations requiring a Land Fill or Excavation Permit within the City.
BACKGROUND: The Planning and Zoning Commission met and held a public hearing on
Wednesday, September 9, 2009, to consider an ordinance amendment to Sections 1800.1 and
1900.1 of the City Code to make the following revisions:
Add language to Chapters 1800 and 1900, outlining additional requirements in which a
Land Fill or Land Excavation/Grading Permit by the City would be required.
The amendment stipulates that any deposit of fill or land extraction/grading in the
following manner would require a permit by the City (Land Fill Permit or Land
Excavation/Grading Permit):
• Within a drainage or utility easement.
• Within a natural drainage way.
• Within ten (10) feet of a property line.
• In excess of twenty (20) cubic yards.
KEY ISSUES:
• In 2006, the language governing Land Filling and Excavation/Grading Permits stipulated
that a permit was needed if the filling or excavating was in the amount of 50 cubic yards
or more.
• In April of 2006, staff presented the Planning Commission with language (Option A) that
would also require a Land Filling or Excavation/Grading Permit if the filling or grading
was being conducted in a drainage or utility easement.
• The Planning Commission revised the drafted amendment and recommended language
(Option B) to include stricter regulations in the need for a Land Filling or
Excavation/Grading Permit: any deposit of fill or land extraction/grading in any of the
following manners would require a permit:
• Within a drainage or utility easement.
• Within a natural drainage way.
• Within ten feet of a property line.
• In excess of 20 cubic yards.

• The City Council adopted the stricter requirements (Option B); however, Option A was
erroneously signed and codified at that time (Ordinance 2006-05).
• This mistake was recently discovered and must be brought back before the Planning
Commission and City Council for approval.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: In accordance with State Law, public notice was published
and a public hearing held by the Planning Commission. They recommended the City Council
amend the Ordinance with the attached Ordinance 2009-018.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no significant financial issues related to this
amendment.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Attorney was consulted regarding this issue. He
determined that because the minutes from the March 6, 2006 City Council meeting do not clearly
discern the adopted ordinance, this amendment needed to come back before the Planning
Commission and City Council for full adoption and publication.
In accordance with Council procedures, the Mayor and Council have the authority to amend
Ordinances, which requires a majority vote of the City Council and becomes effective upon
publication.

SUBJECT: NIEMEYER TRAILER SALES - LETTER OF CREDIT REDUCTION NO.2
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider
approval of the following motion:
Motion to reduce Letter of Credit No. 805 held as security for the Niemeyer Trailer Sales
development to no less than $9,990, conditioned on all outstanding balances owed to the City
being paid in full.
BACKGROUND:
On September 8, 2009, Council authorized the reduction of the Niemeyer Trailer Sales Letter of
Credit (LOC) to no less than $40,870, contingent upon the completion of certain improvements.
Due to the required improvements not being completed prior to the expiration date of the LOC,
the LOC was renewed in full.
To date, the improvements required for the previously approved reduction (to no lees that
$40,870) have been completed; however, upon discussions between Mr. Niemeyer and staff, it
has been agreed that the development is eligible for further reduction to the LOC.
To date, all municipal improvements and the majority of the required private street improvements
have been completed. Based on the work completed and assuming the Developer is current with all
fees owed to the City, it is recommended that the Letter of Credit be reduced from $71,978 to no less
than $9,990. This reduced balance is consistent with previous agreements and is believed to be
sufficient performance security.
KEY ISSUES:
• Current amount of LOC is $71,979 and it is recommended that it be reduced to $9,990.
• Recommendation is consistent with previous agreements and approvals.
• No further reductions will be recommended until October 2010.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is City policy to have all letter of credit reductions
approved by the City Council
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial implications for this request
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City has the legal authority under the Development
Agreement to reduce the letter of credit upon completion of the required improvements or deny
requests for reduction if the required improvements are found unacceptable.

furnishing of electric energy to the City, its inhabitants, and others, and to use the public ways
and public grounds of the city for such purposes.
BACKGROUND: At the September 8, 2009 meeting, the City Council approved the two
franchise agreements described above. Because both franchise agreements are in the form of
ordinances, these ordinances, or a summary of each ordinance, must be published in the official
City newspaper before these ordinances will be effective. Publishing summaries of the
ordinances are cheaper than publishing the entire ordinance. However, in order to publish a
summary the Council must approve the summary and find that it clearly informs the public of the
intent and effect of the ordinance.
KEY ISSUES:
• Publishing a summary is cheaper than publishing the full text of each franchise
agreement.
• The Council must approve the summaries before publication.

September 30, 2009
SUBJECT: 0 LEGAL — SCHEDULE HEARING FOR PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF CSAH 37
TRUNK UTILITIES DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion: set October 19, 2009 to begin at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter as a Hearing for the purpose of
taking comment from interested property owners regarding the proposed establishment of Trunk
Sanitary Sewer and Trunk Municipal Water Districts related to the 2009 CSAH 37 Trunk Utility
Construction Project.
BACKGROUND: With the filing of the Niemeyer Trailer Sales plat, the City undertook the
installation of sewer and water trunk lines to Niemeyer's property and the two adjoining properties.
Based on Staff s recommendation, the Council determined that it would finance the trunk lines via
the establishment of trunk sewer and water districts that cover the properties being served. While
state law does not require a public hearing before establishing the districts, Staff is recommending
that we mail notice of the proposed adoption of the district to the property owners and give them a
chance to be heard before the City Council on this issue and to make sure that they understand the
trunk charge system. Because Niemeyer has already consented to the special assessment of the trunk
costs to its property, the only two property owners likely to be heard from are the owners on either
side of Niemeyer's property.
KEY ISSUES:
• The costs of the project will be reviewed at the hearing as well as the particulars of how and
when the trunk charges will apply.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: While a hearing is not necessary, Staff believes it will be
beneficial to the property owners adjacent to the Niemeyer property who have not been following this
issue as closely as Mr. Niemeyer.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Once established, the trunk fees collected from these districts
will pay for the trunk improvements installed to serve these properties.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: A hearing is not required by law prior to establishing the districts.
The City Attorney recommends holding the hearing so that the affected landowners fully understand
how the trunk financing system will impact their properties.
Respectfully submitted,
-P

SUBJECT: 0 LEGAL — SCHEDULE PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR PROPOSED SPECIAL ASSESSMENT OF
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES FOR TRUNK UTILITIES, SAC AND WAC, AND REALLOCATION OF
PRIOR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motions:
Motion: set November 2, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter for a public hearing to consider the
proposed special assessment of Lot 2, Block 1, Albertville Marketplace for $61,050 in SAC and
WAC charges;
and
Motion: set November 2, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter for a public hearing to consider the
proposed special assessment of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Niemeyer Trailer Sales, for $224,797 in
trunk charges and local sewer and water utility expenses.
and,
Motion: set November 2, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter for a public hearing to consider the
proposed reallocation of special assessments to Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 1, Albertville Marketplace,
in the amount of $21,998.34 for prior special assessments that existed at the time of filing of the
Marketplace plat but were not reallocated to the numbered lots when the plat was filed.
BACKGROUND: All special assessments must be certified to the County Auditor's office by
November 30, 2009 in order to be placed for collection on the tax rolls for 2010. The following three
proposed special assessments are related to recent development activity in Albertville. They are as
follows:
The Developer of Lot 2, Block 1 in Albertville Marketplace has recently requested that the
City Council special assess its SAC and WAC charges for the construction of a gas
station/convenience store/restaurant in the amount of $61,050 to the property over a period of
three years. The City Council agreed to this request at its last meeting.
• In the Developer's Agreement for Niemeyer Trailer Sales, the City has previously agreed to
special assess the sewer and water trunk charges and the cost of installing local sewer and
water lines in the private drive serving the Niemeyer properties. Construction on these
projects has just been completed. Niemeyer's trunk costs are $125,037 for sewer and $47,357
for water, and the combined local sewer and water line installation costs are $52,403.
Niemeyer's total assessment for all of these costs will be $224,797. The Developer's
Agreement calls for these assessments to be levied for a period of time not less than 10 years

Page 2 of 2
When Albertville Marketplace was platted, there were existing special assessments on the
property. Normally, these special assessments are allocated to the numbered lots upon
subdivision, usually via a resolution reallocating the special assessments to the numbered lots.
Because we did not process a reallocation at the time of the filing of the plat, the County
Auditor's office reallocated the special assessments to the three outlots which consist of the
wetlands/pond, the private street, and the lift station property. These special assessments were
put on the outlots' tax statements for 2009. Because the City owns the lift station property
(Outlot B), the City's tax statement for 2009 contained an assessment installment amount of
$1,857.41. The City paid this installment of the special assessment. Staff is now proposing to
reallocate the remaining $20,130.93 in special assessments plus the $1,857.41 paid by the
City (for a total of $21,988.34) to the four numbered lots on the property for the remaining
five years of the original life of the special assessments.
KEY ISSUES:
• The owners of the Niemeyer Properties and Lot 2, Block 1 of Albertville Marketplace have
consented to the assessment and have waived the right to appeal the assessments.
• Staff has discussed the Albertville Marketplace assessment reallocation with Phil Morris, the
owner of the Albertville Marketplace properties, and made him aware of the situation.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: All of these proposed assessments are either consistent with the
City's past policies on special assessing SAC and WAC charges, are consistent with existing
obligations under the City's developer's agreement, or are consistent with past practices in
reallocating special assessments.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed special assessments will help the City recover
costs it has already incurred.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: A public hearing must be held in order to special assess the SAC,
WAC and trunk charges. State statute is not clear on whether a public hearing needs to be held to
reallocate special assessments. However, the City Attorney is recommending that we hold a public
hearing on reallocating the Albertville Marketplace special assessments to be on the safe side.

Larry and Dan,
Please find attached a draft Memorandum of Understanding for the Library project. I want to point out that this
has not been reviewed or approved by St. Michael's Council or attorney so we will likely have suggested
revisions as well. However, I wanted to get something out there for each City to review and consider. Please call
or email with questions or comments, or feel free to redline and send back.
I am working with Ehler's to determine what the net P & I payments would be based on Recovery Zone Bonds
and will get that to you as soon as possible.
Also, below is the estimated maintenance cost sharing breakdown. The current maintenance expense (not
including lease) is $7,000/year. The new library is 3.75 times bigger than the current one and will likely require
more cleaning due to more windows, etc. So I have increased the estimate maintenance cost by 4.25 times to
$ 30,000/year.
Estimated Annual Maintenance Cost Site Benefit Cost Share
$30,000 $ 7,500 $ 22,500
Albertville $5,946
Hanover $2,014
St. Michael $ 7,500 $14,540

Larry,
The Library would need an unbudgeted payment in August of 2010 in the amount of $21,000. First full payments
for debt will be 2011 in the amount of $41,225.
The effects on adding the $41,225 to the levy will create a 1.37% increase to the levy and the following increases
estimated based on home value:
$200,000 home an increase of $10.00
$300,000 home an increase of $15.00
$400,000 home an increase of $20.00
In nut shell it would increase taxes for a resident $5.00 per every $100,000 in market value.
If you need anything else let me know.

Subject: Library Bid Results
Attachments: Project Budget _Sept_09.pdf; StM_25YrBothLevel. pdf
Larry and Dan,
Bid Package #1 (General Construction) for the library project was opened on Tuesday. The City received 15 bids,
all of which were in a tight range, suggesting that the bids were very competitive and reflect the best price
possible given the size and scope of the building. The apparent low bidder was Ebert Construction of Corcoran.
In conversations with a few general contractors that did not get the bid, winter conditions added very little cost
to the project as they both expected to have most of the concrete work done by early December.
I have attached a revised project budget which shows the overall project cost and the estimated library cost. The
portion of the building allocated to the library is 36.9%, or 12,800 s.f. of the 34,680 s.f. building. Based on this
bid, the library is estimated to cost $2,790,808. This is 7% below the architect's original estimate of $3,000,000,
despite the fact that the library includes higher quality/longer-lasting flooring and more energy efficient
improvements than originally budgeted (i.e. lighting and occupancy controls, additional window glazing, higher
efficiency boiler/chiller, heat recovery wheel, etc.). Xcel Energy has identified that the added features will pay
for themselves within 5 years through energy savings. Also note that the attached budget does not yet reflect
rebates from Xcel and CenterPoint of approximately $25,000 for the entire building.
Ehler's has provided the attached spreadsheet showing an anticipated debt payment schedule for a 25 year
period. Again, as stated in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), this number will adjust each year as
population and market values fluctuate. The City was successful in securing $1,988,000 of Recovery Zone bond
funds from Wright County for the project (50% of the available funds). The remaining portion of the library
project will be funded with the library grant and a lease bond through the St. Michael EDA.
The St. Michael Council will be discussing the bid on Sept. 30 at a special meeting. I am hopeful that both
Albertville and Hanover would also be agreeable to holding special meetings prior to that date to consider the
draft MOU based on the most current bid information. It is critical for the St. Michael Council to have the
support of both Albertville and Hanover.
Finally, just a reminder that there are still parts of the project that are estimates and we won't know the final
cost until the project is completed. The biggest estimate remaining is Furniture, Fixture and Equipment (FFE)
which will be bid out later as the project is underway. However, this is a relatively small amount for the library
and the items can be adjusted more easily to fit the budget, so I would not expect the cost to be any higher than
shown.
I am available to attend a special meeting next Monday evening anytime, or Tuesday (8:00 or later) if you think
that would be helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet. Thanks!
