Downtown Parking Lot and Land Trade -Sale Negotiation Process (discussion item) City Planner Brixius reported that a majority of the six (6) residents along 57th Street NE, that abut the recently City purchased railroad property, were interested in purchasing a part of the land located north of their individual property lines. Brixius went on to explain how the land trade or exchange with the 152 Club would result in a 17,435 square -foot lot to the north of the 152 Club, which would be available for future commercial development. Following that, Brixius explained how the land trade negotiation with Geez Sports Bar & Grill will affect the downtown parking situation, which means obtaining an easement allowing customers to access the parking lot off of Main Avenue NE. After negotiations with the land trade and or land sale, Brixius informed the Council that the net amount the City would recoup is $122,000. This amount would include the sale of the 17,435 square -foot lot at a cost of $7.00 per square -foot. Brixius reviewed the four (4) options for the Council to consider to sale the land. In Option 1— there would be no discount; Option 2 — there would be a 15% discount; Option 3 — would allow for a 20% discount; and Option 4 — would include a 25% discount. Brixius wanted to make sure that the Council would take into consideration the Geez Sports Bar & Grill driveway access credits. Without the driveway access credits there would be no access available to utilize the proposed parking lot. City Administrator Kruse shared with the Council another scenario to Option 1 that would create an Option I.A. to include a 5% discount, which would cover the interest. Council asked about the homeowners along 57th Street NE, inquiring what happens to the land if the two (2) homeowners are not interested in purchasing the land and about assessing the properties for the improvement. Brixius reported the land that is not purchased by the 57th Street NE homeowners would become part of the proposed ponding located within the site. City Attorney went over the possibility of assessing the property, which could be accomplished but had concerns with how the court would view it should a property owner challenge the assessment.

Further, the City agrees to sell outlots to the abutting residential neighbors for $1.00 per square foot and accept payments over a two year period. The entire deal is contingent upon all parties agreeing to the purchase, otherwise the transaction is off. Further, the 152 Club is authorized to perform some construction or demolition activity on City Land after the City, Geez and 152 Club sign the Purchase Agreement, but prior to closing, conditioned on the 152 Club getting approval from staff for all work. Further, all parties are required to submit for the necessary development permits. The City Attorney can structure the financing as an assessment with waivers if desired. Motion carried unanimously. Approve Resolution: No. 2007-111 entitled a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Geez Sports Bar & Grill located at 5788 Main Avenue NE within the City of Albertville City Planner Brixius brought to the Council's attention that since the Downtown Parking lot issue or negotiations are pretty much complete, asked if the Council would consider approving Geez Sports Bar & Grill's CUP that was applied for earlier this year. MOTION BY Council member Wagner, seconded by Council member Fay to approve Resolution No. 2007-111 entitled a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Geez Sports Bar & Grill located at 5788 Main Avenue NE within the City of Albertville, which replaces the previously prepared Resolution No. 2007-107 entitled a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Geez Sports Bar & Grill located at 5788 Main Avenue NE within the City of Albertville will become Motion carried unanimously. ENGINEERING Accept the surety requirements of the Development Agreement to be reduced to $1, 470 for the Field Plaza 2nd Addition Developer's Agreement Assistant City Engineer Nafstad reported this is somewhat of a backwards approach. With other Developments the City generally receives a Letter of Credit or a Surety from the Developer for M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\Bridget's Drafts\M 11-19-07 B-drafts.doc 11 City of Albertville City Council Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 10 of 15 the cost of municipal improvements. The only municipal improvement associated with the plat was the widening and resurfacing of 601h Street NE that abuts the plat. Staff reported that to date the road widening and resurfacing has been completed, but the Developer (Blaine Rentals, LLC) has not executed the Development Agreement, therefore, a Letter of Credit has not been posted and the plat has not been recorded. Since the municipal improvements have been completed, the Developer is requesting that the Letter of Credit requirements of the agreement be reduced, prior to execution of the agreement. Nafstad went on to report that PW Supervisor Guimont and I have reviewed the completed municipal improvements, which we both found the roadway to be in general conformance with the plans and specifications. In conclusion, staff is recommending that the improvements be accepted and the surety requirements of the Development Agreement be reduced to $1,470. The amount represents 10% of the cost of the municipal improvements and is believed to be sufficient security to ensure restoration of the boulevards and is consistent with the warranty security requirements of the agreement. MOTION BY Council member Wagner, seconded by Mayor Klecker to accept the surety requirements of the Development Agreement to be reduced to $1,470 for the Field Plaza 2nd Addition Developer's Agreement, which City Attorney Mike Couri will prepare an amendment to the Developer's Agreement that will be presented for Council approval at a later meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Accept the Assistant City Engineer's Project Status Update Assistant City Engineer Nafstad asked the Council if they had any questions or concerns with the memorandum dated November 8 that was included in the Council packet. Nafstad did report that with the CSAH 19 South Improvement project the Traffic Lights have been installed, but are not operational yet. The arms will be painted to match the other lights along the CSAH 19 Corridor. Nafstad also brought to the Council's attention that the diversion berm has been completed on the Stormwater Pond Project. Council members accepted the Assistant City Engineer's Project Status Update dated Thursday, November 8, 2007 as presented in the November 19, 2007 Council packet.

City Administrator Kruse reminded the Council that the City entered into a building lease with Liv Music (Persians) starting November 1, 2007. Prior to the owners taking occupancy, City staff had the furnace inspected. During the inspection it was discovered that the furnace had a cracked flue and needed to be replaced. Staff took necessary measures to ensure the tenants had temporary heat until the furnace could be properly repaired. In response to how long will it take for the City to recoup the cost for the repair? It will take approximately 3-4 months of rent payments from the Persians to reimburse for the expenses incurred for the furnace repair. MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Fay to accept the low quote from B & D Plumbing, Heating & A.C., Inc. in the amount of $3,253 to replace the furnace in the former Public Works Building located at 5964 Main Avenue NE.

Beming stated that it would cost a considerable amount to construct. As part of the STMA Ice Arena expansion, staff brought up the positive points of the Lachman Avenue NE Road Improvement. Staff and the Albertville Council have assisted the process of platting Barthel Commercial Park 3rd Addition, which the Barthel's were really in no hurry to plat. Staff feels the Barthels are thankful for the City taking the initiative to plat Barthel Commercial Park 3rd Addition since the construction of CSAH 19 South Improvement, which has made it difficult for the Barthel Bus Company to safely access the street. To continue to proceed forward with the Lachman Avenue NE Improvement the Barthels gave the right-of-way access. Council accepted the City Administrator's Bi-monthly Written Report dated November 16, 2007 as submitted in the November 19, 2007 Albertville City Council packet. Approve Hiring of a Temporary Administrative Assistant and a Utility Operator City Administrator Kruse reminded the Council that the Building Permit Tech (Tori Leonhardt) will be on a medical leave of absence. Staff advertised to temporarily fill the position until December 31, 2007. On Thursday and Friday, November 8 and 9, staff interviewed five (5) candidates. Staff is recommending hiring Kerry Burri to fill-in during Ms. Leonhard's leave of absence; therefore, would like Council approval to hire Kerry Burri to fill the position of Temporary Administrative Assistant at a rate of $15.24 per hour.

Date: November 1, 2007 To: Mayor and City Council From: Larry R. Kruse, City Administrator Re: Annual Review Dear Mayor and City Council, The following is a little synopsis of 2007 that might assist you as you reflect on my past performance this year. I believe my success is measured by the performance of the collective Albertville team. More and more, I realize how interconnected we are in our activities and my success depends you and my teammates. For the most part, 2007 has been a challenging and good year. Following my report is an evaluation form for you to complete for my review following Monday night's Council meeting. To start on a personal level, I completed my Masters of Business Management Degree from St. Scholastica in 2007. This is something I have been working on for several years and feel really good to have successfully finished the program. This program has in recent years been the cornerstone of my professional development. 1) NEW CITY HALL A significant accomplishment was completion of City Hall and the orderly transition to the new building. A high level of customer service was maintained throughout the relocation. Advanced planning to electronically scan most of the Building Department files in advance of the move worked very well. Coinciding with the move, we implemented point of sale which allows the City to accept credit cards and direct payment from bank accounts. Implementation of the voice over IP phone system and use of new technology went quite well. Implementation of our City Hall rental protocols was successful and pretty well accepted. 2) COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION I consider our communication to the public about average this year. Our City newsletter and website are meeting the basic needs of our residents; however, there is much improvement yet to be accomplished. Development of the newsletter, website and other mailings is a group effort from all Departments with City Clerk Miller leading the charge. These communication M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes. doc Agenda Item No. 4.13. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 3 of I I efforts are squeezed into busy work schedules and can at times get delayed or pushed back as other matters are pressing. We have been doing pretty well submitting bi-weekly articles to the newspaper. Bi-weekly assignments are carried out by various departments to make sure the paper has something from Albertville. 3) COUNCIL COMMUNICATION I have been working with Mayor Klecker to try and provide the Council clear, concise information, with options and choices to make your jobs easier. Implementation of the "Committee of the Whole" is new, which provides the Council and staff an opportunity to discuss and work through issues, many of which can then be on future consent agendas. This effort has helped all of our staff to better think through and anticipate the questions and needs of the Council. I realize getting familiar with new ways can be a challenge. I appreciate your patience as we work together to learn what works for the Council as a whole. 4) INTER -GOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION It seems we are making some progress building a better relationship with Wright County. The County Commissioners have also been trying to make an effort; however they have been primarily focused on the new jail. At the staff level, we work well with the Highway Department, Information Systems (IT) Department, County Auditor, Recorder and Sheriff's Department. In 2007 we had our first season of contracting with Wright County for salt and sand. It was good to hear our employees say "those County workers aren't too bad after all." There appears to be a cooperative spirit to develop the relationship. Our relationship with Otsego has improved and I believe the majority of both City Councils would agree with that statement. I believe our relationship with St. Michael has digressed this past year over the Main Street/Albert Villas Pond issue. Hopefully, time will heal some of these wounds. 5) COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION AND ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT Staff has made it a priority to try and keep up on long grass, weeds, junk cars, signs and other zoning issues. These projects are a team effort with everyone participating in identifying problems, writing letters, and following up on compliance. Even on weekends, our staff is picking up signs in the right-of-way. 6) EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT, EVALUATION, TRAINING AND ADVANCEMENT I am very proud that all of our employees have grown and become much more proficient at their job duties. Each and every one of our employees is growing and getting better all the time. Although our investment in training and education is quite small, I believe it is paying dividends. I thank the City Council for your support in encouraging their increased professionalism M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4. B. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 4 of 11 7) UTILITY OPERATIONS Our water, sewer and stormsewer operations have improved significantly over the past couple years. The Office staff work very closely with John Middendorf and his crew. Installation of remote reading units has continued, although at a slower pace due to the fact that we were short one employee this past year. You can be assured that staff is monitoring bi-monthly payments and turning accounts off when needed. Our staff is friendly, accommodating and yet firm in making sure payments are timely. I often see interdepartmental cooperation, whereby the Building Official, Public Works, Fire Department, and Utilities are all working together to problem solve and get things done. 8) PUBLIC WORKS OPERATIONS Public Works Supervisor Guimont and his crew have really done a good job this year. As you may know, we were short summer help throughout the year. Besides their normal duties, the crew did a great job of mowing lots, cleaning up old silt fences, removing junk and garbage, while keeping up on all of their other duties. On weekends when they are on call, they pick up signs in the right-of-way. Thanks to the Council for purchasing the new snow plow truck, mower and other equipment making our crews much more efficient and productive. The looks of the parks and ball fields is a good testament to their pride and ownership in the facilities. The Public Works crew has been very helpful setting up tables and chairs for meetings and other maintenance duties. 9) CITY FINANCES The City is financially healthy and strong. Our debt has been structured well and our staff is on top of project management and collection of receivables. We continue to run a very lean operation while managing a significant amount of growth and development. Finance Director Lannes and her department continue to grow professionally. Her recent absence on maternity leave makes us all appreciate her more then ever. Her computer and technology abilities are a valuable resource. She has done a good job of training her staff so they can act independently when she is not here. This was well tested during Tina's absence. Albeit Building Department revenues are down, staff has been vigilant in curbing expenses where possible. 10) CITY CLERK AND CODIFICATION OF THE ORDINANCE City Clerk Bridget Miller has met and exceeded my expectations this past year. Her dedication and desire to master the requirements of the Clerk's position has been very evident. Bridget has been instrumental in maintaining the Codified City Code. Although this was actually adopted in 2005, she has continually worked to improve and update the City code. More and more people are seeking Bridget out as a source of information. 11) BUILDING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT Building Official Sutherland has been instrumental in promoting interdepartmental review for some time now. Often it is easier for a department to focus on their own work and ignore M:\PublicData\CityCouncil\CounciI Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4. B. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 5 of 11 other problems. Jon's holistic view is important to the City. Jon has many years of good experience and is an important part of making our team better. Jon's involvement assisting the Fire Department with their pilot Fire Inspection Program is a good example of his sincere interest to make the City of Albertville a more professional organization. 12) HUMAN RESOURCES We updated out Personnel Policy this past year. Performance evaluations are in the process of being done in November. City personnel and fire department members were trained in sexual harassment, respectful workplace and National Incident Management System (NIMS). 13) ANIMAL CONTROL In 2007, we had some problems with dangerous dogs and we were quite unhappy with Monticello animal control. For a long time we had a difficult time even setting up a meeting to discuss it. Finally, we were able to meet and work out a number of issues. Today, things are going much better. 14) CAPITAL PROJECTS Major projects include the CSAH 19 South Project, 52°d Street, Winter Park, Albert Villas Storm water Pond, and Phil Morris Lift Station. Lachman Avenue and the City Hall South Parking lot are to be completed yet this fall. The Albert Villas Pond and CSAH 19 were controversial when dealing with assessments, but the rest of the project went very smoothly. Once again there is a team effort from beginning to end and everyone should feel good how smoothly these projects went. The City completed the acquisitions of the Knechtl right-of-way, Lachman Avenue right-of- way and the railroad property this year. All three have been ongoing for some time and were big challenges. 15) CONSULTANTS WORKING RELATIONSHIP In 2007, our staff and consultants worked together very well. I hope the Council noticed that work product being brought forward has been very professional, complete and accurate. I believe the clear expectations of presenting recommendations and information in advance has been evident and helpful. In 2007, all of our consultants have started some regular office hours whereby staff has an opportunity to work through issues and get their undivided attention. These regular hours are not an additional cost, as these were hours already paid for with them doing work back at their offices. 16) ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/REDEVELOPMENT I would classify 2007 as a slower year for economic development. The Development of the five lots in the Industrial Park is a positive step in being prepared for next year. Fraser Steel's planned expansion is probably the most notable development project that will create some new good jobs. Winkelman's Downtown Redevelopment project was slowed by the M:\PublicData\CityCouncil\CounciI Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4.13. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 6 of 11 economy and hopefully it will go forward next year. A significant amount of time was spent on downtown parking issues involving the railroad property. 2008 Goals (List, and narrate. Provide target dates for accomplishing various tasks and list how you measure your success.) 1) Host a goal setting session/retreat to set Council goals. 2) I-94 Interchange: Continue lobbying for funds, acquisition of the remaining right-of- way and possibly pursue some final design. 3) Arena Land: Pursue acquisition of the Barthel property for a second ice sheet. 4) Transportation Improvements: Seek Wright County and Otsego participation to schedule and fund a CSAH 19 north project in 2010. 5) Economic Development: Promote sale of our Industrial Lots. 6) Human Resources a. Professional Development and Training: Continue to mentor and work with all employees to promote and grow skills and professionalism. b. Update job descriptions. c. Continued training on sexual harassment and employee safety. 7) Lease 5975 Main Building. 8) Update the website; continue the bi-monthly newsletter and submitting articles to the newspaper. 9) Complete the Comprehensive Financial Audit Report. 10) Host Brown Bag Lunch or other forum End of City Administrator Kruse's submittal and the following are the Council's comments: NEW CITY HALL Larry - Council to be commended for taking the long-term approach and working with the public. LeRoy - Went well, but don't fill it up to soon. Keep working on efficiencies; keep City Hall rental affordable and accessible to the public; could see better, more professional signs inside City Hall that would direct people where they need to go within the facility. John - Wants groups that fit into the community to able to use the City Hall. Mayor - Good cooperative effort in building City Hall and it is well used by the public. COMMUNITY COMMUNICATIONS Larry - Could improve here. We are getting articles in the newspaper. M:\PublieData\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4. B. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 7of11 LeRoy - Good newsletter, could use more "do's and don'ts" to public; could be used more for economic development to get more businesses in the city. Tom - Publication every other month is fine but could use more often if we have news of interest to the public. LeRoy - Could publish more often with events going on and articles from other community groups. Larry - That would require a large City staff effort and bleeds over into issues covered by the local newspaper. Mayor - Likes the newsletter and wants to see it at regular intervals - can use it for employee recognition. Leroy - Should also use it to inform the public of new businesses locating in town. COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS Larry thought the Committee of the Whole meetings offer better discussion opportunities. Dan stated that the Committee of the Whole meetings are a good idea. Tom thought that the meetings are still too long with the Committee of the Whole. Mayor - He should shorten discussions at meetings. LeRoy - Doesn't like new agenda and packet wants more detail in packet, particularly elevations and plat detail and maps. RCA's generate more paper than is needed. The old packets had more detail. The Council should have information ahead of time rather than presented at the meeting. LeRoy believes there are too many supplements at Council meeting in addition to the mailed agenda and too many items on consent that should be discussed. Johnny - More discussion is good as it catches mistakes and keeps everyone honest and open. The time a meeting takes is necessary to make good decisions. Mayor - Wants more frequent updates and information about new businesses and developments in the City so he is not surprised by hearing it on the street first. LeRoy - Consultant updates seem to be more timely than when they first started appearing on the agenda. Johnny - Would also like to be informed of issues as they arise (floods, Lachman cost overruns, etc.). M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4. Q. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 8ofII INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION Larry - County, cities and school are just beginning to work together. Things are getting better with Otsego. It was a tough year for relations with St. Michael due to Main Avenue (Street) and Albert Villas pond issues. Larry has pulled back from St. Michael as a result of these issues. LeRoy - Very important that we have somebody at Wright County Board meetings and transportation committee meetings to monitor and advocate on transportation issues. County Board needs to know our needs on roads. COMMUNITY BEAUTIFICATION AND ORDINANCE ENFORCEMENT Larry - Staff policy is to address ordinance violations as we get complaints. -Good progress on signs -Good results on general Ordinance enforcement. -Try to head off problems before they get too big. Mayor - Grass cutting is good; LaBeaux Station could be better. The Mayor doesn't like the fact that City employees are in the lawn care business, but there may not be an alternative at this time. Commercial properties should get more ordinance enforcement attention. LeRoy - Timeliness of some of the stuff is not right. For example, Geez Bar was issued a stop work order when we were negotiating with them on other things- we should use a less formal approach (talk to the owner in person before we cite them for a violation). Johnny - Agrees with Leroy's concerns. Employee Recruitment Larry - Employees are doing a great job- employees are growing in their jobs. LeRoy - Need to get more creative and flexible with our employees in anticipation of tighter budgets in the future given the impact of the housing downturn. UTILITY OPERATIONS Larry - Sean Vold's absence had to be worked around and created some problems in public works. Utility billing and shut off coordination works well with office staff and field crews. PUBLIC WORKS Larry - Public Works does a good job even with personnel shortage - good equipment helps. CITY FINANCES Larry - Finance Director helps a lot. Many goals for the future in finance areas and Finance Director is working toward these goals.

Good coordination between consultants and staff. Johnny - Didn't like the communication on Lachman soils and cost overrun issue. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Larry - Not able to devote a lot of time to this given the projects that occurred this year- not aggressive enough on industrial, but pretty responsive on commercial. LeRoy - We should be more active- St. Michael is getting new buildings and jobs- are we marketing effectively to get these businesses? OVERALL Mayor appreciates the help Larry gives to him. Mayor doesn't want to assign a specific rating, would prefer to talk through issues as occurred at this meeting. . John - Things are going well. Wanted Larry to take a firmer stand on Main Street/St. Michael issue. Johnny wants the City to treat its residents and businesses fairly- doesn't want to take advantage of anyone. CITY ATTORNEY MIKE COURI'S PERFORMANCE REVIEW 11:00 pm. to 11:35 pm. With the following minutes recorded by City Administrator Kruse. The City Council expressed their appreciation for City Attorney Couri's services stating that he is the longest tenured consultant having been with the City for sixteen (16) years. Council member Berning complimented Couri stating that he appreciates his expertise and especially the way he presents and responds to the residents and developers at public hearings. Council member Wagner stated he appreciates Mike's short concise answers to his many questions and that he finds Mike to be a wealth of good advice and information. Council member Fay and Vetsch said that they agreed with the previous comments. Mayor Klecker also agreed with those positive comments stating Mike does a good job responding to legal issues at Council meetings and overall providing good legal advice. More specifically, Mayor Klecker complimented all the consultants and the City Administrator for bearing the brunt of dealing with questions at some more challenging assessment hearings. Council member Beming would like less paperwork handed out at a meeting. The substitutes provided at meetings when Mike cannot attend are not as good nor as knowledgeable as Mike. City Attorney Couri said he too appreciates the long term relationship with the Albertville Council and that many cities do not operate as smoothly as Albertville. Couri gave credit to the MAPublic Data\City Council\Council Minutes\2007 Minutes\M 11-19-07 Final Continuation Minutes.doc Agenda Item No. 4.B. Meeting Date December 3, 2007 City of Albertville Committee of the Whole Minutes November 19, 2007 Page 11 of 11 City Council for giving staff clear direction on the Council's expectations for development. This allows staff to meet with Developers and give some pretty directed advice on what will be successful. Court stated that Albertville is very busy and that he has found it very helpful to have regular office hours at City Hall each Thursday. These regular hours give him a chance to network with staff/consultants; work through issues, and have access to records. At first he was hesitant when the idea was first suggested by City Administrator Kruse, but now looks forward to the opportunity each week to focus on Albertville's legal work. The Council mentioned that in Mike's absence, his replacements don't appear to be up to speed on issues. Couri apologized, stating that when Albertville's meetings get shifted from Monday Holidays to Tuesday, he has other commitments that take him away. City Attorney Couri stated that he tries to review the agenda items prior to the meeting and that Kyle and others do not get to spend much time on Albertville's legal work, thus it is a little difficult for them to jump in. Mike said that is something he will work on to delegate some more duties and do his best to review legal matters with them prior to attending meetings. City Administrator Kruse stated he too appreciates Mike hard work and professionalism. Kruse felt that Mike's regular office hours was helpful to staff and very productive for Mike and other consultants. Kruse thanked City Attorney Couri for his efforts to submit work product for council packets in a timely manner for Council packets. Further, Kruse said that all of the staff and consultants have work very well together, which is driven by the Council's high expectations.

November 27, 2007 SUBJECT: Finance Department — 2008 Final Budget and Property Tax Levy RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following two motions: Motion to approve the Resolution No. 2007-1.1.8 entitled a Resolution Adopting the 2008 Final Property Tax Levy. Motion to approve the Resolution No. 2007-119 entitled a Resolution Adopting the 2008 Budget. BACKGROUND: The budget and property tax levy process starts each year in June with staff preparing estimates and projections for Council workshops which are reviewed through the early fall. On August 20, 2007 the City Council adopted a preliminary budget and certified a preliminary levy to Wright County, who then prepares and mails a projected tax statement to residents. On Monday, December 3, the City Council will host a public hearing to listen to resident comments. Following public comments, the City Council at a convened meeting may approve or make adjustments to the final levy, which is then certified to Wright County for taxes payable in 2008. Coinciding with the adoption of the City's levy, the City Council officially adopts a 2008 budget detailing projected revenue and expenses. KEY ISSUES: It is the discretion of the Mayor and Council to adopt or amend the 2008 Budget and Property Tax Levy. Key issues are to accurately, as possible, identify revenues and expenses for next year. Further, the City must maintain adequate reserves to provide cash flow for City operation through the first half of the following year providing gap financing until property tax revenue is received in July. In 2007, the City's budget reserves were short $650,000 and in 2008 it is estimated that the City's reserves will be short $350,000. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City's policy to review and approve the 2008 Budget and Final Property Tax Levy. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: In reviewing Albertville projected 2007 year end financial situation, it appears the overall 2007 Budget will be an estimated $300,000 to the positive. In 2007, the City had designated reserves of $1,000,000 or 66% of the $1,650,000 amount required by the State Auditor. In 2007, we made progress in building our General Fund reserves. With the current cuts in the 2008 budget, we anticipate a $350,000 shortfall in designated funds.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve the 2008 Annual Budget and Property Tax Levy pursuant to Minnesota State Law.

The proposed zoning change has been initiated by the City to create a consistent zoning designation for all of Outlot A of Heuring Meadows. The majority of Outlot A is currently zoned B-2. The requested zoning designation is compatible with surrounding land uses, and is not expected to have any adverse impacts on the area. Approval of a proposed amendment requires passage by a four -fifths vote of the entire City Council. It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the following motion . Motion to approve the Ordinance No. 2007-17 entitled an Ordinance Amending the Albertville Zoning Map Relating to Property Legally Described as Outlot A Heuring Meadows. BACKGROUND The City of Albertville has applied to rezone a strip of land approximately 2.02 acres in area from R-1, Low Density Residential to B-2, Limited Business. The site includes a strip of land 67 feet in width along the west boundary of Outlot A of Huering Meadows. The west portion of the Huering Meadows plat contains 45 single family lots. The plat was approved by the City in 2001. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is also necessary to accommodate the rezone.

Goltlen Valley, MN 55422 Telephone: 703.231,2555 Facsimile: 783.23.2587 piannem,(,nacplanniny.com ISSUES ANALYSIS Planner Report - October 3, 2007 Rezoning Heuring Meadows 67-foot strip Page 5 of 3 Existing Zoning. Outlot A of Huering Meadows is 11.79 acres in area. With the exception of the subject strip of land, Outlot A is zoned B-2, Limited Business. The west 67 feet of said Outlot is zoned R-1, consistent with the single family development to the west. The City of Albertville has applied to rezone this piece to B-2, consistent with the existing zoning of the sum of the land within Outlot A to the east. The piece of land proposed for rezoning is approximately 67 feet in width and 1,315 feet deep. The proposed rezoning would create one consistent zoning designation for the entire parcel, and create a larger area for potential commercial development. Comprehensive Plan. The site is located within Land Use Planning District 1 and is designated for low density residential and commercial land uses in the City's Comprehensive Plan. According to Section 100.3 of the Zoning Ordinance, it is the policy of the City that the enforcement, amendment, and administration of the ordinance be accomplished with due consideration of the recommendations contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan as developed and amended from time to time by the Planning Commission and City Council of the City. The Council recognizes the City's Comprehensive Plan as the policy to regulate land use and development in accordance with the policies and purpose herein set forth. Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan must be amended to accommodate the request. In 1998, the Comprehensive Plan was amended to include a 500 foot strip of commercial land along both sides of CSAH 19. The Comprehensive Plan amendment will widen the strip on Outlot A of Huering Meadows Addition to 567 feet. History. The original preliminary plat for Huering Meadows proposed two outlots for the site that is now Outlot A. At the request of the City Attorney the developer combined the outlots into one, which created zoning districts that do not follow a property line. The final preliminary plat approval provided a berm with landscaping within Outlot A to the east of the residential homes. In order to maintain this landscaped berm an easement of 30 feet should be established along the west property line. Existing Land Use. Outlot A is bordered by single family residential development to the west, a single family home and townhomes to the north, vacant land and one commercial office use to the south, and primarily vacant land to the east, across CSAH 19. Rezoning. Section 300.1 G of the Zoning Ordinance outlines procedures for rezoning requests. For such requests, the Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment and its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2007\12-03-07\12 03 2007 8-F-1 Huering Rezoning Report.doc Agenda Item No. g.

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. Comment. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment is being processed concurrently with the application to amend the land use designation for the site from low density residential to commercial. Upon approval of said amendment, the proposed zoning designation will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The subject site is bordered by a commercial user to the south, and land to the south and east of the site is zoned B-2, Limited Business. In that regard, the requested B-2 zoning designation will be compatible with land uses in the area. 3. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained herein. Comment: No user has been identified for the site at this time. Any future development on the site will be evaluated on its on merit against the performance standards of the B-2 District. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The proposed land use designation is not expected to depreciate the area. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Comment: As stated above, no user is currently identified for the site. The effect of any future user on the City's public services will be evaluated at the time of development. 6. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within the capabilities of streets serving the property. Comment: Due to the limited size of the subject site, traffic generation from any future user is not expected to place a burden on existing transportation facilities.

An outlot is created from the remaining purchased railroad property extending between the railroad and the residential properties back to 60th Street NE. Together the total project site is 121,244 square feet (2.78 acres). The original Preliminary Plat was approved on February 6, 2006.

You may continue your health insurance with the City provided you pay your monthly premium by the dates on Schedule 1. In the event payment is not received, your coverage will need to be canceled. You can continue to collect your short term disability through the end of its term. The City will also extend the opportunity for you to continue other benefits such as life insurance and dental insurance through the remainder of your COBRA period as long as the premiums are paid in advance as per Schedule 1. You are also flexing some additional pre-tax funds which also need to be paid as per the attached schedule. Enclosed is a form if you choose to cancel any or all of these coverages.
