PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CITY'S LEVY — CALLED TO ORDER — ROLL CALL
Mayor Klecker called the 2007 Albertville Truth -in -Taxation Public Hearing meeting to order at
6:30 p.m.
PRESENTATION BY FINANCE DIRECTOR TINA LANNES
City Administrator Kruse clarified what the Truth -in -Taxation meeting pertained to. Kruse
explained that sometimes the Truth -in -Taxation is confused with the Equalization meeting that is
held in the spring. The Truth -in -Taxation meeting is held to discuss and set the 2008 Tax Levy
and 2008 Budget. During the Truth -in -Taxation meeting, the Council is not able to assist
residents, business owners, or other property owners reduce their 2008 Property Taxes.
Finance Director Lannes gave a presentation informing the Council that the Tax Levy has not
been altered since September 2007 when the Preliminary Levy was set. Lannes demonstrated
that the Tax capacity for 2007 was still within approximately 7% increase, which is a minimal
increase compared to the 2007 Tax Levy. Lannes informed the Council that the local tax rate for
Albertville was comparable to surrounding communities.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Klecker opened the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. to allow the public to comment.

$26,700 in 2007 to $192,200 in 2008. Fehn explained to the Council that he has not made any
improvements on the site. There were no additional buildings or facilities constructed on the site
in 2007.
City Administrator Kruse was able to quickly research on the City's Data View software to
discover that the taxes appeared to be based on land. Since 2007, the Wright County Assessor
may have added the buildings or structures that are located on the site. By adding the structures
would increase the amount of property taxes for the lot. Kruse suggested that Mr. Fehn contact
Tony Rasmussen, the Wright County Commercial Assessor, to discuss the increase in property
taxes.
Mayor Klecker closed the public hearing at 6:44 p.m. to allow the public to comment.

MOTION BY Council member Wagner, seconded by Council member Berning to adjourn the

SUBJECT: 0 Finance Department — Calling a Public Hearing to Refinance the 1999
Fire Hall Lease Revenue Bond and issue Capital Improvement Bonds.
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following motion:
Motion to hold a public hearing regarding an amendment to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
and issuance of the Bonds on Monday, January 7, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. or soon thereafter at
Albertville City Hall, 5959 Main Avenue NE, Albertville.
BACKGROUND: Staff has been working with Northland Securities evaluating refinancing
several bonds. Low short term interest rates make it advantageous to consider refinancing at this
time. Originally, the Fire Hall was done as a Lease Revenue Bond, through the Albertville
Economic Development Authority (EDA). Now to refinance under the new Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) legislation, we need to update our CIP and transfer the fire hall asset from the
EDA to the City. The proposed public hearing is a part of the process to accomplish this
refinancing. The following outlines the refinancing process.

KEY ISSUES: Refinancing at a lower cost is positive and no negative connotations come to
mind on this refinancing.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The City's practice is to evaluate debt once or twice a year and
take advantage of refinancing opportunities. Refinancing is considered on a case by case basis.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The proposed refinancing of the Fire Hall Lease Revenue
Bonds is projected to save $30,000 to $41,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to refinance debt
and utilize a bond attorney and fiscal advisors to insure statutory requirements are met.

RE: General Update
ARENA LAND APPRAISAL
The Arena appraisal is complete and staff looks for direction from the Council on how they want
to proceed.
I-94 PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM
The Management Team will be meeting in early January on the interchange project. The layouts
have been edited to incorporate MnDot's Region 3 comments and have been forwarded onto the
Central Office for review. We will discuss if we need to send them onto Washington for further
approvals.
The Knechtl purchase is complete. We still have about $200,000 of Federal Funds, and I will be
prioritizing other I-94 right of way needs and hope to make a recommendation to the City
Council to start those acquisition efforts early in 2008.
I met with the Tinklenberg Group and they will be putting together a limited scope of work to
prepare our requests for the 2008 Transportation Reauthorization Bill. Elwyn Tinklenberg was
very understanding about his services and his election campaign.

a photographer that evening for about an hour and a half who will be set up in the upper level to

been installed, the locks changed and the carpet cleaned. We anticipate Liv Music starting
business very soon.
CSAH 19 NORTH PROJECT
Mayor Klecker and I will be meeting with Mayor Fournier and Administrator Robertson on
Tuesday, December 18th to discuss CSAH 19/MacIver Agreement to build consensus before
broader discussions with the two councils.
ALBERTVILLE PREMIUM OUTLETS BERM
It appears Chelsea is working with Fehn's to relocate the Mall berm. We may need to
compromise what is acceptable to Darkenwald and Roden, however, the City has a number of
tools to regulate the berm in the future such as putting condition on any preliminary plat
extensions for Keystone, etc. A backhoe is on site to dig some test holes. Obviously we aren't
going to have agreements by the December 15th deadline, but we continue to make progress. We
will work with the DNR to hold off on enforcement action as we continue to make progress.
CITY HALL PLAT
The Plat is nearing completion and should be recorded prior to year end.
DOWNTOWN LAND SALE/TRADE
Purchase Agreements have been distributed to all the property owners. If they all agree we will
finalize the plat and work towards closing. Adam has started the plat survey.

The pre-2008 audit will be starting next week. How time flies.
53rd & BARTHEL FLOOD ISSUE
BMI is working on this and we will coordinate getting information about the National Flood
Insurance Program at the same time as the engineering report is presented.

recommendation for some pots, pans, trays, cutting boards, knives, etc. will be forthcoming.

• Appraisal compares the Barthel property to building ready sites, thus the need for
soil correction to be taken into consideration.
• Appraisal assumes assessments are paid.

Subject: Re: Karl Eid Property
Larry,
The sheriffs sale appears to have occurred on May 3, 2007. State law generally allows 6
months for redemption by the homeowner, although in certain circumstances it could be 12
months. Redemption is the right of the owner to pay the high bidder the amount it bid plus its
expenses (about $133,500 in this case) and get the property back. Based on the documentation
included in your email, it appears that the redemption period is 6 months, which means that after
November 3, 2007, Eid no longer has a right to reclaim the land. If the redemption period is 6
months, then we can no longer purchase the land from Eid but must deal with the new owner,
Deutsche Bank National Bank Trust Company.
From what I have read recently, the sheer number of foreclosures are flooding the banks to the
point where they do not have enough qualified people to process the properties in a timely
manner. In other words, you usually can't find someone at the bank who has any knowiedye of
the property or who can take the time to learn about the property and make a decision. If we can
find someone who has some authority, we may be able to get the property cheaper than the
$133,500 the bank is owed on the mortgage. Typically, a bank will spend $30,000 to $40,000
paying back taxes and utilities, cleaning out the property, making the necessary repairs to get the
house in saleable condition and paying the realtor fees. Even then, it may not sell for what the
bank bid. Because this house is so old, I'm guessing that it can easily burn through $30,000 or
$40,000 in repairs/cleanup. If we can catch the bank early enough and notify them that we don't
need any repairs made to the house and that our purchase would come without realtor fees, they
may be willing to discount the house from the $133,500 they bid.
Before we do that, however, I think the Council needs to determine that they want to buy it and
they need to set a price range that they would be willing to pay. Once that is done, I think we
would need to continue to pester anybody we could reach at Deutsche Bank until we find
someone with authority to deal on this property. This process will likely take several months.
