COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING
JULY 21, 2008
MINUTES
Albertville City Hall
6:00 PM
PRESENT FROM ALBERTVILLE: Mayor Ron Klecker, Council members Dan Wagner, Tom
Fay and John Vetsch; City Administrator Larry Kruse, and City Clerk Bridget Miller
ABSENT: Council member LeRoy Berning
FIRE INSPECTIONS PRESENTATION
City Administrator Kruse kicked off the meeting with some background and an overview of how
things progressed to this point. Kruse reminded the Council members that during a previous budget
workshop there was discussion about working with neighboring communities to form a Fire
District. Following the discussion, former Fire Chief Long and Firefighter Mills met to talk about a
Pilot Fire Inspection Program for the City of Albertville. Kruse turned it over to Fire Chief Mills to
go into further detail on the Pilot Fire Inspection Program.
Fire Chief Mills gave an overview of the Pilot Fire Inspection Program, which began a few years
ago. Mills went on to report that this program is ongoing with the businesses selected for the initial
round of inspections. Businesses were selected according to the occupancy type and the frequency
of calls that the Albertville Fire Department (AFD) has responded to at that particular business
within the year 2006. Following the creation of the Pilot Fire Inspection Program, was when the
Building Official was brought into the inspection(s) of the facilities.
Mills pointed out there are two (2) types of occupancies that were chosen, which inlcuded A-2 (bar,
restaurant) and R-2 (apartment buildings). There was also one (1) Mercantile Group M. Mills gave
a brief synopsis of the initial inspections of the various types of facilities and informed the members
of the follow-up inspections to insure the establishment completed the requirements.
Mills went on to report the experience and knowledge the Fire Department and Building Official
gained from the inspections. One of the lessons learned is that it is very time consuming and other
members of the AFD have lost interest in participating; therefore putting the responsibility on the
Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief.
To summarize, Mills reiterated what was in his memo, which was that these results clearly show
that no matter how old the building, there are still major life safety threats in the businesses of our
City. With the help of an ongoing Fire Inspection Program, it is believed that these threats and
violations can be mitigated in a timely and cost effective manner. Actively teaching and relaying
valuable Fire Prevention to the City's businesses will reduce the amount of fire loss in the future,

and hopefully save the City money in the long term. The City has a good start with the Fire
Inspection Program and needs to keep it going in order to make the City "Fire Safe".
Council had a few questions and concerns, one being the lock boxes that a number of the
establishments were lacking. Fire Chief Mills brought up the fact that a number of the buildings
were built before lock boxes were required, which is why they are found missing.
Mayor Klecker and City Administrator Kruse thanked the Albertville Fire Department for taking on
this Pilot Fire Inspection Program task on. It is appreciated the work that has been put into making
sure the business establishments and various apartment complexes are inspected for potential "fire
safety" related issues.

and WAC Charges to Lot 4, Block 1, Albertville Marketplace (a. k. a. Emma Krumbees), which
includes approval of an Assessment Agreement, Emma Krumbees Restaurant SAC and WAC
Charges
City Attorney Couri began by reporting that the Developer -owner of Emma Krumbees has
requested, through Phil Morris of Albertville Marketplace, for an Assessment Agreement for
SAC and WAC Charges for the Emma Krumbees Restaurant. Coi .went on to state that these
charges are normally due when the building permit is pulled. Court reminded the Council that
the City has made such accommodations in the past for other restaurants within Albertville. By
Assessing the SAC and City's portion of WAC is a way ttushn the large u?front charges to
be spread over a period of years. This Assessment would be over a three (3) year period with
interest at 6.2%, which is consistent with the current 0ty's finances.
Couri continued by noting the decision to Special Assess die $ACar�d WAC fees entirely at
the discretion of the City Council. Included with the Special .Assessment is an Assessment
Agreement that Emma Krumbees or Developer (Blaine) would`agree and sign a waiver of its
right to appeal the special assessment.

ADMINISTRATION
Authorize the Request to Advertise and Solicit Bids for a City-wide Waste Hauler (Garbage)
Collection Service
City Administrator Kruse gave an overview of a proposal for the City of Albertville to go to a
City-wide Garbage and Single -sort Recycling Collection. Kruse was looking for authorization
from the Council to allow staff to advertise and solicit bids for a City-wide Garbage Collection
and Single -sort Recycling Collection to be done by one licensed garb ge Haler. Other
considerations would be to pass the fees onto the homeowners through the utility bill.
Kruse brought up the fact that there are four to five licensed w�;ste haulers hat service
Albertville residents, which means there are four to five cgrnpan, es traveling the same route with
loaded trucks causing unnecessary wear and tear of Crty streets. This collection: of garbage
would be residential at this time, commercial and Irzd,,,strial operations are not c6 ltemplated by
this contract.
Kruse pointed out that it would be one of the City's purposes to accomplish the state, city, and
county goals; while minimizing wear and tear to the streets, roads, and private drives within the
City. Furthermore, having a mandatory co ection service is a sue�0ssful way to insure that all
City residents have an approved way to dispose of their garbage and>eliminate indiscriminate
dumping.
In summary, Kruse reported that amending the 2005 Albertvie Municipal City Code and going
with city-wide garbage and recycling collection service does not prevent a resident from hiring a
separate waste hauler fo their garbage removal. Staff anticipates that nearly 100% of the
residents will use the city's�garbage services, provided the bids are cost-effective and Council
directs staff to preparre an or, inmce changing the City Code to allow for City-wide collection of
garbage and ect miles;
Council wanted to inquire ether the bidders or vendors would have an opportunity to express
their opimr�ns„or concerns v t r the City-wide Garbage and Recycling Collection. Council
recalled Alber}vhe attemptlnhis type of service years ago and as you can see was not passed.
MOTION BY C6W1 WI member Wagner, seconded by Council member Fay to authorize staff to
advertise and solielt bps for City-wide garbage collection and single source recycling collection
by one licensed garbage hauler with the goal that if the bids are financially advantageous to
implement city-wide collection on January 1, 2009, and to include a workshop that would allow
the vendors an opportunity to express their opinion in regards to the City-wide Garbage and
Single -sort Recycling Collection.

Dear Mayor, Council members, and Staff:
As part of the St. Michael Daze & Knights Celebration, the St. Michael City Council and staff
would like to extend a friendly challenge to the Albertville City Council Members and staff
to participate in a bean bag toss tournament. The tournament will be held on Friday,
August 15th at 6:00 p.m. near the Carnival Area located east of Edgewood Drive and north
of Highway 241.
We will plan to have at least two games played simultaneously, although we could arrange
for more, depending on the amount of participation. Opponents will be matched up based
on their position with the city (ie. councilman vs. councilman). Basic bean bag toss rules
will apply.
Please respond by August 13th with a list of how many representatives from Albertville will
participate, so we can plan accordingly. As you can see from the attached picture, our city
council has been preparing for this event for some time, and we look forward to facing you
on the field!
Sincerely,
led
Bob Derus
City Administrator

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Larry Kruse
FROM: Carie Fuhrman / Alan Brixius
DATE: July 2, 2008
RE: Albertville Zoning Ordinance Amendment —
Prohibition of Pawn Shops
NAC FILE: 163.05 — 07.26
BACKGROUND
As far as business districts are concerned, the Zoning Ordinance states that pawn
shops are prohibited uses only in the B-2, Limited Business District and in the B-2A,
Special Business District. The other business districts, B-3, Highway Commercial
District; B-4, General Business District, and B-W, Business -Warehouse District, do not
address pawn shops in any way. The only prohibited uses in the B-3 and B-4 Districts
are commercial animal kennels, while the B-W District does not have any listed
prohibited uses.
Staff has been working on drafting an Ordinance to address the licensing of pawn shops
within the City of Albertville. The thought had been that pawn shops would be allowed
as permitted uses in the B-3, B-4, and B-W Districts, and to continue pawn shops as
prohibited uses within the B-2 and B-2A Districts.
However, a discussion came about recently regarding the possibility of the complete
prohibition of pawn shops throughout the City. The City Attorney has been researching
this issue and has not found any special protection that shields pawn shops from
complete prohibition within cities. This opinion brought staff to ask the question of
whether or not the City even wants to allow pawn shops at all.

ANALYSIS
Before continuing to work on the Ordinance language, staff brought this issue to the
Planning and Zoning Commission at their last meeting for discussion purposes only.
As a result of the discussion, the Ordinance addressing the licensing of pawn shops
within the City is no longer being considered. Instead, the following amendments to the
ordinance are being proposed:
• Include pawn shops as "Prohibited Uses" in the B-3, B-4, and B-W Districts
(Sections 4501.5A, 4400.513, and 4500.513).
• Add a definition of "pawn shop" and "pawnbroker" to the Definitions section of
the Zoning Ordinance (Section 200.2).
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval of the above -stated amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, relating to the
prohibition of pawn shops in the B-3, B-4, and B-W Districts and adding a definition of
pawn shops and pawnbroker.

Re: Prohibiting Pawn Shops
The purpose of this memoranduni is to provide the City Council with information regarding the
City's ability to prohibit pawn shops.
Minnesota SWiitc § 325J.02 defines the licensing requirements a city must include when
licensing pawnbrokers. Minnesota Statute § 325J. 13 allows a city to provide more restrictive
reg f- Cas
,ujations of pawnsh(-�ps than the state requires. I have been unable to Ind any es
preventing; a city from prohibiting pawn shops.
Based on Minn. Stat. § 325J, 13; itappears that the City has the authority to prohibit pawn, -,b(yps
if it wishes.

Findings of Fact: Based on review of the evidence received, the City Council now makes the
following findings of fact and decision:
A. The site is legally described as Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 1, Eull's Addition.
B. The planning report dated July 2, 2008 from Northwest Associated Consultants is
incorporated herein.
C. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
D. The subject site is zoned R-1, Residential Single Family District. The proposed use is
consistent with permitted uses within the Residential Single Family District and will be
compatible with present and future land uses of the surrounding area.
E. The proposed use conforms to applicable Zoning Ordinance performance standards.
F. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
G. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city's service capacity.
H. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property
as proposed.
I. The requirements of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance have been reviewed in relation to
the proposed use.
J. Undue hardship will result if the variance is denied due to the existence of special
conditions and circumstances, which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building
involved, and include the following:
a. The subject single family lot is directly abutting the B-4, General Business
District on the side yard.
b. The adjoining commercial use is set back only 14 feet from the subject residential
side yard, which is an existing nonconforming condition.
c. The neighboring commercial use has late night operations and has produced
noise -related issues in the past.
d. The reduced setback does not change the character of the area and should serve to
improve the land use compatibility between these two different land uses.
Decision: Based on the foregoing information and applicable ordinances, the City Council
hereby APPROVES the two conditional use permits and a sideyard setback variance application
to construct an additional private garage that is over 150 square feet within the required side yard

DATE: July 2, 2008
RE: Albertville - Neidermeier Conditional Use Permit and Variance
NAC FILE: 163.06 — 08.10
BACKGROUND
Kurt Neidermeier has applied for two conditional use permits and a variance to
construct an additional private garage on his lot that is more than 150 square feet within
the required side yard setback of ten (10) feet (see Exhibit A).
The subject property is located at 11548 57t" Street and is zoned R-1, Residential
Single Family District. The lot currently contains a single family home with an attached
garage (see Exhibit B). The applicant is seeking approval to construct a detached
garage. The Ordinance requires that a conditional use permit be obtained in order, for
more than one detached or attached private garage to be constructed.
No building permit shall be issued for more than one detached or attached
private garage for each single-family dwelling, nor will a building permit will be
issued for more than one detached garage or accessory building on one or more
lots under common ownership, except by conditional use permit (Section
1000.4B.4).
The applicant is requesting to construct a detached garage equal to 612 square feet.
The Ordinance also requires that a conditional use permit be obtained in order for an
accessory detached building to occupy more than one hundred fifty (150) square feet
when accompanied by an attached garage on the same lot.
No accessory detached building for a single-family dwelling shall occupy more
than one hundred fifty (150) square feet when accompanied by an attached

garage on the same lot nor shall the combined total floor area of an accessory
detached building and/or attached garage exceed one thousand one hundred
fifty (1,150) square feet, except as each standard may be modified by conditional
use permit (Section 1000.48.5).
The applicant is requesting to construct the detached garage five (5) feet from the west
(side) property line. However, the Ordinance requires a ten (10) foot side yard setback
for accessory buildings; therefore requiring a variance.
Accessory buildings may encroach into the required side and rear yard setbacks
within the rear yard of a lot, except, however, that no such encroachment may
occur on a required easement, or in a required side yard setback abutting a
street in the case of a corner lot. In no case shall the setback be less than ten
feet (10) (Section 1000.4B.8).

ANALYSIS
A private garage is a permitted use within the R-1 Zoning District.
Conditional Use Permit Standards. Application for a conditional use permit under this
section shall be regulated by chapter 400 of this ordinance. Such a conditional use
permit may be granted; provided, that:
1. There is a demonstrated need and potential for continued use of the structure and
the purpose stated.
Staff Comment: The subject property is located directly adjacent to a commercial
business that has produced noise issues in the past, and the proposed garage shall
act as a barrier between the house on the subject property and the business (see
Exhibit C).
The combined total area of the proposed detached garage and existing attached
garage is 1,116 square feet, which meets the Ordinance requirement of less than
1,150 square feet (Section 1000.4.B.5.). The proposed detached garage shall
occupy approximately 16% of the side yard (612/3,938 SF) and approximately 14% of

the rear yard (612/4,235 SF), which both meet the Ordinance requirement of less than
25% (Section 1000.4. B.2).
The conditional use permits are required because more than one private garage is
being requested, and the garage is proposed to be larger than one hundred fifty
(150) square feet (Section 1000A.B.4 and 1000.4.B.5).
2. The building has an evident reuse or function related to the principal use.
Staff Comment: The private garage shall be used for residential storage, which is a
related function to a single family home. Staff recommends that a condition be
placed upon approval of the conditional use permit that no commercial uses or home
occupations may be conducted in either the attached or detached garage.
3. Accessory building shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with the
adjacent residential uses and does not present a hazard to public health, safety, and
general welfare.
Staff Comment: The applicant has indicated on the submitted elevation drawings
that the exterior color and material of the proposed garage shall match the existing
home (see Exhibit D). The proposed building shall meet the requirements of the
Building Type Standards outlined in Section 1000.4.1, which shall be added as a
condition upon approval. A detached garage does not present a hazard to public
health, safety, and general welfare.
4. The provisions of subsection 400.2.E of this ordinance shall be considered and a
determination made that the proposed activity is in compliance with such criteria.
Section 400.21. The planning commission and city council shall consider possible
adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. Their judgment shall be based upon
(but not limited to) the following factors:
a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies
and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official city
comprehensive plan.
Staff Comment: The subject property is designated as Commercial in the
City's Proposed Land Use Plan. Although the property has been designated
as commercial, the City has not chosen to rezone the property to commercial
as of yet. A detached accessory building is a permitted use in this zoning

district. In addition, constructing a detached accessory building will not
change the use of the property.
b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future uses of the
area.
Staff Comment: A detached garage is compatible with the present and
future uses in the area, which include commercial and residential.
c. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein.
Staff Comment: The proposed use conforms with all performance
standards, except for the side yard setback, which the applicant is seeking a
variance from.
d. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
Staff Comment: A detached garage does not tend to depreciate the area.
e. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and
will not overburden the city's service capacity.
Staff Comment: The proposed garage can be accommodated with existing
public services.
f. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving
the property.
Staff Comment: It is unlikely that any additional traffic shall be generated by
the proposed use.
Variance Standards. A variance from the terms of this ordinance shall not be granted
unless it can be demonstrated that:
• Undue hardship will result if the variance is denied due to the existence of special
conditions and circumstances which are peculiar to the land, structure or building

1) The subject single family lot is directly abutting the B-4, General Business
District on the side yard.
2) The adjoining commercial use is setback only 14 feet from the residential side
yard, which is an existing nonconforming condition.
3) The commercial use has late night operations and has produced issues related
to noise.
4) The reduced setback does not change the character of the area and should
serve to improve the land use compatibility between these two different land
uses.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
approval to the City Council for the conditional use permit requests for more than one
private garage on the subject property and to allow the detached garage to occupy
more than 150 square feet when accompanied by an attached garage on the same lot,
based on the findings found in the conditional use permit standards analysis of this
report.
Planning staff also recommends approval of the variance request to construct a
detached garage within the required 10 foot side yard setback, based on the following
finding: Undue hardship will result if the variance is denied due to the existence of
special conditions and circumstances which are peculiar to the land, structure or
building involved, which include the findings found in the variance standards analysis of
this report.
And subject to the following conditions:
1) Private garages for licensed and operable passenger cars and trucks not to
exceed a gross weight of twelve thousand (12,000) pounds, as regulated by
subsection 1200.417 of this ordinance. Private garages are intended for use to
store the private passenger vehicles of the family or families resident upon
the premises, and in which no business, service or industry is carried on.
Such space can be rented to nonresidents of the property for private
passenger vehicles and/or noncommercial vehicles, trailers, or equipment if
sufficient off street parking in full compliance with this ordinance is provided
elsewhere on the property.
2) The detached garage shall be maintained in a manner that is compatible with
the adjacent residential uses and does not present a hazard to public health,
safety, and general welfare.

A\lbertvijle Mayor and Council Communication
August 4, 2008
SUBJECT: 70TH STREET NE (WEST OF CSAH 19) IMPROVEMENTS
REQUEST: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider one the following
motions regarding joint improvements to 701h Street NE from CSAH 19 to Kadler Avenue NE
with the City of Otsego:
Motion (Option No. 1): directing staff to request that Otsego prepare a funding agreement
regarding improvement to 70th Street NE, between CSAH 19 and Kadler Avenue NE, by means
of bituminous overlaying and related type work per the City of Otsego's 2008 Street
Maintenance Project plans and specifications. Such agreement shall be structured that
Albertville will reimburse the City of Otsego for Albertville's portion of the project costs, which
are estimated to be approximately $57,000 with the first half payment made October 1, 2009 and
the second half payment made October 1, 2010.
Motion (Option No. 2): to approve limited improvement to 70th Street NE, between CSAH 19
and Kadler Avenue NE, by means of bituminous leveling and related type work per the City of
Otsego's 2008 Street Maintenance Project plans and specifications, and to reimburse the City of
Otsego for Albertville's portion of the project costs, which are estimated to be approximately
$17,000.
Motion (Option No. 3): not to participate in joint improvements of 70th Street NE at this time.
BACKGROUND:
Albertville has been informed that Otsego plans to include 701h Street NE between CSAH 19 and
71St Street NE as part of the Otsego 2008 Street Maintenance Project and would like Albertville
to participate in the funding. As a border road between the two cities, one-half of the road
between CSAH 19 and Kadler Ave NE is within the corporate limits of Albertville.
The City of Otsego has developed and approved plans and specification for their 2008 Street
Maintenance Project that include improvements to 70th Street and have bid and awarded the
project to Oman Bros. Paving, Inc. Per the bid received by the Oman Bros. (low bidder),
Albertville's cost to overlay one-half of the 70tb Street segment, between CSAH 19 and Kadler
Avenue NE, is approximately $57,000. Included in this cost is the cost to place a bituminous
leveling course, which is approximately $17,000.
Upon meeting with Otsego staff on July 22, Albertville learned that Otsego desires and prefers to
overlay 701h Street, but would consider limiting the scope of the project to just that of a leveling
course. Albertville staff was also informed that should Albertville choose not to participate in an
improvement at this time, Otsego would very likely proceed with improving only the Otsego
half.

Meeting Date August 4, 2008
Mayor and Council Communication — July 30, 2008
Engineering — 70TH STREET NE (WEST OF CSAH 19) IMPROVEMENTS Page 2 of 2
Realizing that Albertville had little notice and may not have budgeted for such improvements in
2008, Otsego Staff has offered two (2) years of interest free financing with the first payment not
due until 2009. Otsego Staff also asked that should Albertville prefer a different type of payment
plan, a written request be submitted for Otsego consideration.
Staff has reviewed the condition of 70th Street and agrees that the roadway is in need of
maintenance. A bituminous leveling course will address the immediate needs of the roadway,
such as rutting concerns, patching, and sealing. A bituminous overlay will address the same
needs, as well as, provide added structure and pavement life.
KEY ISSUES:
• This projected is not included in Albertville's 2008 budget.
• Improvements to this segment of roadway are not part of the City's current CIP.
• An overlay would extend the life of this roadway and the road is in need of maintenance.
• Otsego has offered 2 years of interest free financing.
• Historically Albertville and Otsego have been sharing in the maintenance costs for this road.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: Historically, the City has funded 50% of the cost of
maintenance and improvements on boarder roads. The City strives to plan ahead for such
improvements and define the project responsibilities through a mutually acceptable agreement.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The 2008 budget plus the reserved/designated funds for
roadway maintenance (after completing the 2008 overlay and seal coat projects) balance is
estimated to be $43,722. The remaining $13,277 for 70th Street NE could come from the capital
transportation fund which has a balance of $323,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council possess the authority to order and
authorize municipal improvements.

From: Adam Nafstad, P.E., Assistant City Engineer
Subject: Project Status Update
The following is a brief project status update as of July 25, 2008:
1. 2008 Sealcoat Project
Contracts have been prepared and submitted to the Contractor. Seal coating
operations are scheduled for the second week of August.
2. 2008 Overlay Project
The wear course has been placed on 67th Street NE and Keystone Avenue NE. The
planned street patching is scheduled for the 1st and 2nd weeks of August.
3. Franklin Property Sewer Extension Project
The design is underway and it is anticipated that plans and specs will be presented to
Council at the second meeting in August. Currently staff is working to coordinate the
project detour with that of the CSAH 19 detour and to secure the railroad -crossing
permit.
4. CSAH 19 Project (57th Street NE to Albertville Southerly Limits)
Turf restoration is the primary item yet to be completed on the project. Spring
conditions delayed restorations of the boulevards and numerous areas will require
over -seeding in August. Staff is working with the County and Contractor to improve
the ditch on the east side of the highway and north of Psyk's. Currently the ditch has
minimum grade, steep slopes and is difficult to maintain. Proposed changes include
filling of the ditch and the addition of storm sewer.
5. Storm Water Management Plan
Staff has completed the delineation of the watershed boundaries and collection of
field data. Modeling of the City's system is expected to be completed by the end of
July. It is indented that a draft plan will be available in September.
6. Albertville Townhomes (Dominium Development)
Revised civil plans are currently being reviewed. It is believed that the Developer
intends to begin construction in August.

Developer and Prime Contractor to resolve all outstanding punchlist items and
invoices.
9. Albertville Railroad Exchange Plat
The plat will be sent to the County for review once all abstracts have been received.
As directed by Council, Staff will review the potential swale improvements along the
south side of the plat.
10. Lachman Avenue NE Extension
City Project: The sidewalk and final lift of pavement have been installed and
boulevard restoration is underway.
LaBeaux Station portion: Staff is working with Christian Commercial (LaBeaux
Station developers) to coordinate the completion of the sidewalk on the east side of
Lachman. The Developers have requested the City consider a reduction to the letter
of credit and minor amendments to the development contract. The amendments
requested include extension of the completion date and lot specific surety
requirements. Staff will be presenting the requested amendments to Council at the
second meeting in August.
11. Phil Morris Lift Station
Controls and pumps are on hand and will be installed once the Developer supplies
power to the site. The driveway and surface improvements included with the project
will be constructed once the curb and street in front of the lift station site have been
completed.
12. Albertville Marketplace
Work on the restaurant has begun and is expected to be completed by January with
the parking lot expected to be completed yet this fall.
13. Winter park Improvements

14. Miscellaneous
Several developments, including Towne Lakes 51b, 6tb, and 7th, and Karston Cove 3ra,
have outstanding issues that need to be addressed. Staff has contacted the owners of
these properties and is working to correct the issues.
15. 70th Street NE (CSAH 19 to Maelver)
Drain tile, per Change Order No. 1, has been added to the project to dry out and
stabilize several soft/wet spots or pavement failures. Upon inspection of the wet
areas, Otsego is recommending additional soil corrections and reshaping of the
underlying soils to dry up and improve drainage prior to patching the bituminous.
Otsego is negotiating this work with the Prime Contractor and it is expected that the
work will be authorized and commence within the next week.
16. City Park Improvements
Staff has requested quotes from local Contractors to better identify costs and to tailor
the project scope if necessary. Staff will present quotes to Council as second meeting
in August.
17. Letter of Credit Reductions
Staff has received requested for reductions or releases of letter credits for several
developments. Staff will be reviewing the developments and working with the
developers to complete or correct all outstanding issues. The developments include:
• T-Square
• Parkside Commercial
• LaBeaux Station
• Albertville Plaza
• Towne Lakes 5th
• Long Lake State Bank
I will be at your August 4tb City Council meeting to discuss any questions concerning these

Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
• Highway 19 South Improvement. Adam's deposition was taken last week; we
are still trying to schedule Virgil Hawkins' deposition. A pretrial conference
before the Court is scheduled for August 1st on the Leuer properties and mediation
on the Leuer properties is scheduled for August 28th. I expect to meet with the
Psyks and their attorney in the next week or so to discuss possible settlement of
the case.
• XCEL Franchise Agreement. We are in the process of revising Xcel Energy's
franchise agreement which expires this year.
• Albertville Marketplace. The developer's agreement amendment to
accommodate Emma Krumbees is being forwarded to the developer's attorney for
review.
• City Hall Plat. The final plat mylars are being printed. Once the County
approves the mylars, we will record the plat.
• Lachman Avenue. The Lachman Avenue plat has been recorded and Don
Barthel has paid the special assessments attributable to Lot 1, Block 1 (the lot
south of the Hockey Arena).

• Prairie Run. I spoke with Gold Key's attorney this week regarding the
dissolution of the funding structure for the homeowner's association. He
understands the problem and believes that the homeowner's association should be
reestablished. He has been trading phone calls with Dean Johnson to get direction
to proceed. He will continue to try to reach Dean Johnson.
• TIF Districts. We are still waiting on replies from Albert Barthel to try to get
some documentation of the TIF eligible costs incurred by Barthel Bus Garage.
Albert has been in touch with Bertha Fehn, and she is apparently going through
the company's bank records for the information we need.
• Towne Lakes 61h Addition. Hennen Construction has not been paid by CPDC for
some of the utility and street work installed in the 6th Addition. We continue to
hold a letter of credit provided by CPDC, and Hennen would like us to draw on
that letter of credit to pay Hennen. The developer's agreement appears to allow
this, but I would like to see the parties agree to the draw, or, in the alternative,
have a court rule that we are authorized to do so as I do not want to have the
developer or the bank come back to the City with a claim that the money drawn
was improperly used as the improvements have already been installed. I have
been in contact with Hennen's attorney recently. To date, they have not contacted
the bank and in the meantime, Alliance Bank who issued the letter of credit to the
City has sold its interest in the Towne Lakes 6th Addition to another bank. This
will likely complicate the matter for Hennen and makes it more likely that Hennen
will end up filing a declaratory judgment action similar to that filed by S.J. Louis.
• Hunter's Pass. I have drafted the proposed settlement agreement between the
City, Hunters Development, LLC (the developer) and S.J. Louis (the contractor).
It looks like most of S.J. Louis' costs will be paid (probably 90% payment). The
agreement is currently being reviewed by the parties and will come to the Council
for approval once all parties agree on the language. We will then seek a Court
order authorizing payment to S.J. Louis. In the meantime, Tina and I are
preparing to draw the entire Hunter's Pass letter of credit before it expires on
August 12th. Once drawn, the City will hold the money in escrow.

• Albert Villas Pond. The School District's Attorney has approved the closing
agreement. I am now working on preparing the paperwork for the closing, which
should occur in the next few weeks.
• Ice Arena Expansion Purchase Agreement. We closed on the Barthel Hockey
Arena lot, and all paperwork is complete. The parties have 10 years to come to an
agreement on how to fund the Hockey improvements that will be built on that lot.
After 10 years, the School District can sell the lot if it chooses.
• Towne Lakes Water Bill. In the Towne Lakes First Addition Developer's
Agreement, CPDC was required to maintain the parks for five years and then
dedicate them to the City free and clear of special assessments. CPDC did not pay
the water bills on the park lots (now totaling approximately $19,000) when it
transferred the park lots to the City. I have sent CPDC a notice that the City is
going to special assess its former sales office lot for the unpaid water bills, and
copied that notice to Pete Scherer, who purchased CPDC's interest in that lot. I
spoke with Mr. Scherer's attorney who indicated that Scherer Brothers Lumber is
willing to pay the assessment, if the City will release the remaining five vacant
lots it owns in Towne Lakes First Addition from any further liability on account of
the developer's actions. While we recognize that some other unknown developer -
related financial issues may arise, both Tina and I think that we should recover the
$19,000 while we can. I am working on that agreement and expect to have it at
the next City Council meeting.
• Dominium Townhomes. I have put together a draft of the developer's agreement
for this development and have heard back from the developer's attorney. We are
still working out the differences in language, and are also awaiting the completion
of the final plans before bringing this to the Council for approval.

MEMORANDUM

To: City Council
From: Larry R. Kruse, City Administrator
Re: General Update
FOUR DAY WORKWEEK
The Department heads have reported things are going well with the four day week. A number of
residents come to or call City Hall before 8:00 a.m. and after 4:30. The numbers are not huge,
but they appear to be fairly significant. The Building Department reported they are working well
With contractors to meet their inspection scheduling needs. Overall, I believe we are maintaining
the high level of service and meeting the expectations that we all have for City operations.
STMA ARENA FEASIBILITY STUDY
On Tuesday July 22°d we held the first meeting to begin the Arena Feasibility Study. I invited
STMA Superintendent Ziegler and St. Michael City Administrator Bob Derus to also attend so
we could all have common understanding of how we are going to proceed. It was concluded that
ARY will report directly to the Arena Board at their regular meetings as this is probably the best
way to keep all jurisdiction informed.
STMA POND SETTLEMENT
The School now has a draft copy of the pond land purchase/settlement agreement. If they don't
have any changes, staff will finalize everything in the very near future.
2009 BUDGET
Department Heads have finalized their preliminary budgets and we are planning on sending
copies out around August 6t' for the August 11 th Budget Meeting.
WIRELESS (JOHNSON CONTROLS) PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY STUDY
We have held a preliminary meeting with the consultants to review the scope of work and
information they need from us. The engineer also toured the City and all of our City operations
to better understand the layout of Albertville.
