DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
COVERAGE REVIEW
Lt. Dan Anselman stated that the Wright County Sheriffs Department currently covers 2 shifts of
police protection to date. Currently, Albertville has 16 hours of coverage: 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
and 6:00 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. The last officer was added when the Mall opened. The Sheriffs
department is seeing a lot of traffic problems and business thefts. As we take a look at Albertville
today in comparison to the past, what we see happening is Albertville is growing. There is
additional residential growth and commercial growth. Therefore we see a need for another shift of
police coverage.
Sheriff Miller recommends 8-additional hours of coverage, but what time of day do we add has not
been addressed. They have statistics of crime or activity for 2003, but have not completed 2004 yet.
The Sheriff s Department would look for some suggestions from the Council as to when you would
like additional coverage. Other factor is the time frame, when would you like to implement the
additional hours. Our recommendation would be to implement this shift in July 2005 with the
suggestion that the hours be from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to authorize Mayor
Peterson to sign the 2005 Law Enforcement Contract. Motion carried unanimously.
Council commented about putting an article on the front page of the North Crow River news about
the squad cars parked at the Fire Hall.
Mayor Peterson asked the Council ifit would be okay for the deputy's to park the squad cars in the
semi-vacant Public Works garage. Peterson just thought with the recent cold temperatures we have
had that storing them in the garage they would that be somewhat protected. Lt. Anselman stated he
would discuss this at their staff meeting and get back to the City.
PLANNING AND ZONING
None.
ENGINEERING
None.
LEGAL
ApPROVE TOWNE LAKES ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT
Assistant City Attorney Wendorf stated it appears the landscaping encroaches 3-7 feet into the
parkland adjacent to the trail. The homeowners want to buffer the trail and yet enhance the
landscaping in the park as well as with their lot to give a more pleasant experience walking along
the trail. The Council expressed concern about allowing structures such as the fence, but were
agreeable to allow the plantings.
5
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Berning to authorize City Attorney .
Couri to amend the encroachment agreement by leaving the flowerbed and remove any artificial
structures such as fences. Motion carried unanimously.
ApPROVE RESOLUTION No. 2005-06 ENTITLED MOONEY EASEMENT VACATION
Assistant City Attorney Wendorf said this easement was passed in November 2004. However,
Minnesota Statutes require that the vacation be done by resolution rather than by motion. Mike
Couri has prepared a resolution approving the vacation.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Berning to approve
Resolution No. 2005-06 Entitled Mooney Easement Vacation. Motion carried unanimously.
ApPROVE RESOLUTION No. 2005-07 ENTITLED LIQUOR LICENSE FEES
Assistant City Attorney Wendorf commented that at the last City Council meeting the City Council
inquired whether businesses that sold non-intoxicating liquor in cans or bottles needed to have an
Off-Sale License from the City. This resolution reflects what was passed by the City Council at the
January 3, 2005 meeting.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve
Resolution No. 2005-07 Entitled Setting Liquor License Fees. Motion carried unanimously.
TEMPORARY SIGNS .
Mayor Peterson addressed the Council asking if they would approve waiving the Temporary Sign
Permit fee for all non-profit organizations.
MOTION BY Mayor Peterson, seconded by Council member Vetsch to approve waiving the
Temporary Sign Permit Fee for all non-profit organizations. Motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATION
WRITTEN REpORT
City Administrator Kruse started out by addressing the poles at the intersection of 57th Street and
CSAH 19. There are two wood pole streetlights that Xcel has removed. They will initiate billing
new lights effective January 12,2005. The one decorative pole on the southwest comer to the west
is being considered to be moved westerly in spring 2005.
Council commented about a spot near the Albert Villas on Kassel Avenue, which seems dark.
Council advised staff to research the area and if needed get an additional light installed.
Council shared that on CSAH 19 East exit ramp was another area that was dark. Council felt at one
time there was a streetlight located there and advised staff to look into the matter and report back to
Council.
.

.
.
City Administrator Kruse reviewed the balance of the report. Kruse shared with the Council the
next Albertville Business Council's topic is "Banner Sign Issue" scheduled for February 17th at the
Country Inn & Suites.
Kruse added that Edina Development has made a proposal, but we are not in agreement and are still
negotiating.
Council encouraged staff to get a time line from Mr. Mezile, President & CEO of the YMCA. They
would like to keep good communication through the process as we move forward. Council
suggested putting something in the North Crow River News or the next City Newsletter before any
incorrect information was communicated.
2004 ACTIVITY REpORT - A YEAR IN REVIEW
City Administrator Kruse stated this is just a brief summary of what has been happening in
Albertville. It would be information to share at the upcoming State of the City.
PRoPOSAL FOR MUD LAKE WATER CROSSING (TRUNK FUND PROJECT)
City Administrator Kruse addressed the Council regarding the letter of proposal for professional
services related to a geotechnical study in preparation to bore a water main under Mud Lake to
serve Hunter's Pass.
Hunter's Pass Estates has contacted the City and is waiting to find out how much the City is going
to charge the developer for 70th Street and Maciver Avenue.
Whether Hunter's Pass Estates is developed or not, we anticipate that someone in the future will
develop the land. By proceeding with the geotechnical study now, the company can drive soil-
testing equipment on the ice rather than in a boat.
Council wanted to know what the estimated difference would be if we do the water main crossing
now versus in the spring.
City Engineering Carlson estimated the difference could be around $8,000.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to authorize S.E.H. to
proceed with the geotechnical study in preparation for the Mud Lake water main crossing. Motion
carried unanimously.
DON'S Bus GARAGE
Mayor Peterson addressed the Council and staff regarding the connection of the north section of
Lachman Avenue to 57th Street. Don Barthel, owner ofDon's Bus Garage informed the Mayor that
it is becoming more and more difficult to get onto CSAH 19.
Peterson wanted the Council to consider relocating the bus garage in the Barthel Industrial Park.
City Engineer Carlson stated the 5ih Street connection project is not proceeding anytime in the near
future.
7
Council member Vetsch offered to meet with the Barthels along with City Administrator Kruse to .
review last fall's land appraisal.
UTILITY - WATER BILL
Council has had a number of resident's ask them what the $0.88 was on the sewer and water bill. It
is noted as "unknown".
City Administrator Kruse informed the Council it is the $5.21 annual Federal Safe Water Test.
OTHER BUSINESS. MINUTES AND MATERIALS
DIRECTION REGARDING REQUESTS FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITY ENGINEER
City Administrator Kruse requested direction on appointing a City Engineer. Kruse explained that
the Council discussed this at the last workshop and if they want to appoint S.E.H. or seek another
firm, they should take that formal action.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Vetsch to proceed to invite
three or four firms for interviews with the goal to appoint a City Engineer by March 1,2005.
Motion carried unanimously.
ENGINEERING PROJECT TRANSITION RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the Council's desire to consider a change in City Engineer, City Administrator Kruse
prepared an Engineering Transition Plan, which identifies the status of various engineering projects
and studies. City Administrator Kruse requested the Council identify which project(s) S.E.H. would .
be completing and which may be transferred to the new appointed City Engineer.
50th Street Pedestrian Trail (2004 School Pedestrian Trail) Status-Scope of Project: In the
summer of 2004, on behalf of the City of Albertville and City of St. Michael, the City let a
contract to Buffalo Bituminous in the amount of$339,332.70 for construction ofa trail from
CSAH 19 to Naber Avenue. The cost of this project is shared 50-50% with St. Michael
exclusive of right-of-way costs. With change orders, the anticipated total cost is $353,876.90.
Substantial completion went beyond the contract completion date, and the possibility exists for
Buffalo Bituminous to pay some liquated damages for irrigation and some additional work the
City incurred.
Beyond the contract with Buffalo Bituminous, a contract in the amount of $2,415 was let to
construct a small retaining wall to protect evergreens at the corner of Main Avenue and 50th
Street.
Financing: 50% ofthe cost of construction and Albertville's right-of-way costs will come from
the Park Dedication Funds.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer and Inspector's continuity with the project and
contractor is important. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to close out this project by June
1, 2005. There will be some additional restoration prior to final acceptance. It is recommended
.

.
.
that if Buffalo Bituminous does not complete its final work by May 1, 2005 that the bond
company be notified and the City seek another contractor to complete the work.
Once the project is completed, a new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year
warranty items in consultation with S.E.H.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Vetsch to approve that
S.E.H. continue to close out the 50th Street Pedestrian Trail by June 1,2005. There will be
some additional restoration prior to final acceptance. It is recommended that if Buffalo
Bituminous does not complete its final work by May 1, 2005 that the bond company be notified
and the City seek another contractor to complete the work. Once the project is completed, a
new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year warranty items in consultation
with S.E.H. Motion carried unanimously.
2004 Prairie Run Project Status-Scope of Project: In the summer of 2004, the City let a
contract in the amount of$I,575,733.53 with Dennis Fehn Construction. To date the City has
paid $835,563.09. The mass grading is pretty well complete, utilities installed, and some streets
have the bituminous and others the gravel base has been installed. The original contract
completion date is June 30, 2005. However, because of difficulties with finalizing the
developer's agreement, construction began later than anticipated. It will be reasonable to
extend the completion date if requested by the contractor. At this time the contractor has not
requested a time extension. This project is complicated by shared work with the Shoppes at
Prairie Run. 100% of the project is anticipated to be assessed to the benefited properties.
Financing: 100% of the cost of this project will be assessed to the benefited properties, with
the exception ofthe lift station costs. The City is responsible for the lift station costs. The
City's costs are recovered through the trunk sewer charges. At some point in the near future,
the Engineer will determine the project is substantially complete and the costs are known and
based on this information the City will issue a short term assessment bond for the project.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer and Inspector's continuity with the project and
the contractor is important. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to close out the construction
portion of this project through substantial completion and then follow up on any remaining
punch list items. It is anticipated that the final completion can be accomplished by July 30,
2005. It is further recommended that S.E.H. be retained through adoption of the final
assessments.
A new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year warranty items in consultation
with S.E.H.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay to approve S.E.H.
continue to close out the construction portion of the 2004 Prairie Run Project through
substantial completion and then follow up on any remaining punch list items. It is anticipated
that the final completion can be accomplished by July 30, 2005. It is further recommended that
S.E.H. be retained through adoption of the final assessments. A new City Engineer can follow-
9
up with the one and two-year warranty items in consultation with S.E.H. Motion carried
unanimously.
.
Public Works Building Status-Scope of Project: In late spring of 2004, the City let a contract
in the amount of$I,685,600.00 to Ebert Construction. With change orders, the revised amount
is anticipated to be $1,720,600. The Engineer determined that substantial completion was
reached on December 15, 2004. Most punch list items will be completed by year-end leaving
the bituminous wear coarse for spring.
In early 2005, staff will complete phone, computer and some other equipment additions for the
project.
Financing: The financing is complete via issuance of a $2,100,000 EDA Revenue Bond.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Architects continuity with the project and the contractor
is important. Remaining items include the installation of the bituminous wear coarse and punch
list items. Although not a significant amount of work remains, it is recommended that S.E.H.
continue to close out the construction portion of this project and follow up on any remaining
punch list items. It is anticipated that the final completion can be accomplished by June 30,
2005.
A new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year warranty items in consultation
with S.E.H.
.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve that
S.E.H. continue to close out the construction portion ofthe Public Works Building and follow
up on any remaining punch list items. It is anticipated that the final completion can be
accomplished by June 30, 2005. A new City Engineer can follow-up with the one and two-year
warranty items in consultation with S.E.H. Motion carried unanimously.
2003 CSAH 19 Upgrade Status-Scope of Project: In 2003, the City let a $1,387,827.10
construction contract for the widening ofCSAH 19 and related improvements. $58,669.60 in
Change Orders was approved. To date $1,340,093.61 has been paid and $70,531.24 is held in
retainage for punch list items.
Financing: This project was finance via a General Obligation Bond with some assessments to
benefited property.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer and Inspector's continuity with the project and
the contractor is important. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to close out this project by
May 15, 2005. To force Buffalo Bituminous to perform, I suggest the S.E.H. notify the
projects bond company of Buffalo Bituminous non-performance and unless we get a written
commitment to complete this project in early spring, we proceed to get another contractor to
complete the work.
.

.
.
.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Vetsch to approve that
S.E.H. continue to close out the 2003 CSAH 19 Construction Project by May 15,2005. To
force Buffalo Bituminous to perform, it is suggested that S.E.H. notify the projects bond
company of Buffalo Bituminous non-performance and unless we get a written commitment to
complete this project in early spring, we proceed to get another contractor to complete the
work. Motion carried unanimously.
Frontage Avenue (LaCentre Avenue) Improvements Status-Scope of Project: In 2001, the
City entered into a contract with Rolstad Construction in the amount of $304,599 and change
orders of$9,120. To date $248,255.72 has been paid and we have retainage of $ 13,066.09 for
the Frontage A venue sidewalk.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer and Inspector's continuity with the project and
the contractor is important. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to close out this project by
May 15, 2005. To force Rolstad Construction to perform, I suggest the S.E.H. notify the
projects bond company of Rolstad's non-performance and unless we get a written commitment
to complete this project in early spring, we proceed to get another contractor to complete the
work. Further, I suggest the City revisit the sidewalk there and consider installing just one
sidewalk on the west side of the street and one or more connections to the Albertville Crossings
parking lot on the east side of the street because it may be difficult to install a sidewalk there
due to the grade.
MOTION BY Council member Fay, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve that
S.E.H. continue to close out the Frontage Road Project by June 1,2005. To force Rolstad
Construction to perform, it is suggested the S.E.H. notify the projects bond company of
Rolstad's non-performance and unless we get a written commitment to complete this project in
early spring, we proceed to get another contractor to complete the work. Further, it is suggested
that City revisit the sidewalk there and consider installing just one sidewalk on the west side of
the street and one or more connections to the Albertville Crossings parking lot on the east side
of the street because it may be difficult to install a sidewalk there due to the grade. Motion
carried unanimously.
Wastewater Treatment Facility Status-Scope of Project: In 2003, the City contracted
with S.E.H. to design and prepare plans and specifications to expand the City wastewater
treatment plant from the current 660,000 gallons per day to 980,000 gallons per day. The
budget for the plans and specification phase was established at $296,900 and to date amount
expended is $200,000. This portion of the engineering work is planned to be completed by
March of2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity to finish the plans and
specification is paramount as is S.E.H. completing construction and start-up. Another City
Engineer can oversee the one and two year warranty periods.
MOTION BY Council member Klecker, seconded by Council member Vetsch to approve
S.E.H. completing engineering, design, bidding, construction and start-up of the Wastewater
11
Treatment Facility Expansion. Another City Engineer can oversee the one and two year
warranty periods. Motion carried unanimously.
.
CSAH 37 Pedestrian Trail - The trail is planned from Kahler Avenue and follows CSAH 37
east to the downtown area. Drainage improvements for the rear yard areas of the homes at the
intersection of Kahler Drive and CSAH 37 are part of the project. The City contracted with
S.E.H. in the amount of $18,731 to complete the design and specifications for bidding the trail.
Currently the plans and specification are 95 percent complete and should be ready for bidding
in February of2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity with this project is important,
however, this is a project that can more easily be transferred to another engineer for
construction oversight. Although it is possible, 1 think it is in the best interest of the City to
have S.E.H. complete the project in its entirety.
MOTION BY Council member Vetsch, seconded by Council member Fay approving S.E.H.
complete the design, bidding and construction of CSAH 37 Pedestrian Trail in its entirety.
Motion carried unanimously.
1-94 Ramps Access Study Status-Scope of Project: The original budget for the 1-94 Access
Study was $225,000 and as of December 31, the City has expended $157,000. The Engineering .
components for development of an 1-94 Proj ect can be broken down into three distinct areas. 1)
Feasibility Study and Permitting; 2) Design, specifications and bidding, and 3) Construction.
Currently, we are getting close to identifying an access plan; State and Federal Access Permit
and completion of the Feasibility Study. Modeling of the various options will be completed in
late January and early February. It is anticipated that the permit request process will be
completed by March 2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity within anyone of these phases is
important. It is recommended at a minimum, that S.E.H. continue to complete the Feasibility
Study and Access Permit portion of the project. Once completed, another engineering firm
could complete the design and construction portion independently.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Fay to approve that
S.E.H. continue to complete the Feasibility Study and Access Permit portion of the project.
Once completed, the new appointed engineering firm could complete the design and
construction portion independently. Motion carried unanimously.
70th Street Transportation Master Plan Status-Scope of Project: Fall 2004 S.E.H. has been
hired to complete an $8,500 Master Transportation Plan of 70th Street. The purpose of the study
is to identify the location of full and limited access points on 70th Street and to get Wright
County to modify the one-half mile spacing for full access along 70th Street. Both the City of .
Otsego and the City of Albertville seek full access intersections at approximately one-quarter
12
.
.
.
mile spacing. Further, the study will identify the proposed location of the street(s) in the
northwest quadrant ofthe City, which will be useful as the City evaluates the extension ofthe
Albertville Premium Outlet Street to the West. The cost to the City is anticipated to be
approximately one-fourth as the City ofOtsego and private developers will be paying for the
balance ofthe study. The traffic study portion is anticipated to be completed in late January or
early February and the balance of the report by March 1,2005.
Recommended Transition Plan: The Engineer's continuity with this study is very important.
S.E.H. has much of the history .ofthis area and has been involved with previous discussions
with the City ofOtsego. It is recommended that S.E.H. continue to complete the 70th Street
Transportation Study and be involved with its presentation to Wright County. Once the study
is completed, another engineering firm could complete the design and construction portion of
any projects within the area independently.
MOTION BY Council member Berning, seconded by Council member Klecker to approve
S.E.H. continuing to complete the 70th Street Transportation Study and be involved with its
presentation to Wright County with the goal to complete this Study and presentation to Wright
County by March 1,2005. Once the study is completed, the new appointed engineering firm
can complete the design and construction portion of any projects within the area. Motion
carried unanimously.

Public W orkslParks Maintenance Report
Parks - We have been maintaining the ice rinks on a daily basis when the weather permits. We
have had good ice this year up until the week of January 31 st. The rink attendants have been
working out well. The rinks have been used a lot this year.
Public Works - The new building is working out well. Weare starting to get things organized,
but there is still a lot to do. We have been keeping the bobcat and the two John Deere tractors at the
old Public Works Building. The bobcat is there because we are still utilizing the salt shed there.
We would like to build a new salt shed at the new Public Works location summer of2005. The
John Deere tractors are there for easy access to the skating rinks and sidewalks. I would like to
purchase a wire feed welder for our new shop. This would be much more efficient for repairs and
projects. I have talked with several people in the welding business. They recommended the Miller
251 Welder. I have received three (3) quotes for this welder.
United Rentals
Central McGouran, Inc.
Oxygen Services
$1,829
$1,801
$1,800
As you can see all three (3) bids were close. I would recommend Oxygen Services as we are using
them nor for our oxygen and acetylene.
Streets - It's been a light year for plowing although we have been out sanding several times. It's
been a regular occasion to repair the '79 International plow truck after each use. The new plow
truck is at J-Craft getting the equipment installed. This truck may be ready for us to use yet this
season.

RE:
Albertville, Minnesota
70th Street Corridor - Construction Cost Options
SEH No. A-ALBEV0506.00 14.00
At the request of City staff, I have developed construction cost estimates for installation of a paved
roadway in 70th Street between CSAH 19 and Maciver Avenue. Construction cost estimates were
prepared for four options.
.
Option t - Construction of a Two-Lane Rural Roadway on the Existing Gravel Road
Width of the bituminous surface would be 36 feet, allowing for two 12-foot travel lanes with 6-foot
paved shoulders. A 2-foot gravel shoulder would also be installed on both sides. Typical section
would be 4 inches of bituminous on 4 inches of Class 5. Without knowing the thickness ofthe
existing gravel surface, it is estimated an additional 4 inches of Class 5 would be adequate to
provide the desired strength for a 7-ton roadway. It is assumed the existing roadbed is wide enough
to support a 36-foot wide surface.
Option 2 - Construction of a to-ton Two-Lane Rural Roadway
Width of bituminous would be 44 feet, allowing for two 12-foot travel lanes with 10-foot paved
shoulders. Typical section would be 6 inches of bituminous on 12 inches of Class 5 on 18 inches of
Class 3. To build this section, the existing road core would be removed.
Option 3 - Construction of a Two-Lane Urban Roadway with Curb and Gutter to City
Standards for a City Street
Street width would be 36 feet from curb face to curb face. Typical section would be 5.5 inches of
bituminous on 8 inches of Class 5 on 18 inches of Class 3. Storm sewer would be installed
throughout the corridor.
Option 4 - Construction of a Two-Lane Urban Roadway to County Standards
Street width would be 44 feet from curb face to curb face. Typical section would be 6 inches of
bituminous on 12 inches of Class 5 on 18 inches of Class 3. Storm sewer would be installed
throughout the corridor.
.

Estimated construction cost for the four options is summarized below.

Budget Update
BACKGROUND
This report is an un-audited 2004 General Fund summary of revenues and expenditures through
December 31, 2004. Revenues and Expenditures should be at approximately 100%.
REVENUES
The City of Albertville is currently at 97.8% of its annual budgeted revenue for the General Fund.
Being below budgeted revenues at this time is normal due to delinquent property taxes are not paid
to the City until late January or early February.
.
EXPENSES
The City of Albertville is currently at 86% of its annual budgeted expenses in the General Fund.
However there are some invoices that are not paid out yet for 2004 and the usual thirty day plus lag
for accounts payable waiting for invoices. Most of the 2004 expenses are paid so there are not
many more expected.
VARIANCES
Fire Protection Contract Revenues include the second half 2003 billing that was not received until
mid 2004.
Fines and Forfeits include the fines that were charged to businesses that sold liquor to minors in
2004.
Current Ad Valorem Taxes are not 100% due to a payment that is received in 2005 for the
delinquent property taxes paid after the due date to the county.
Legal, Engineering and Planning are over budget and this contributes to work related to code
codification, Pilot Land Company and Edina Development. Also, included in Engineering are some
1-94 expenses, 70th Street expenses, Roadway Infrastructure funding expenses and a Hydrology
Study expense beyond expected general engineering expenses for the year.
EDA expenses included under budgeted property taxes of $7,000.00 plus $39,000 for the reader

From:
Larry R. Kruse, City Administrator
Re:
General Update
1. WATER BILLING. Regarding Ron Klecker's question from the last Council meeting
"Unknown Charge". Recently, we updated our Utility Billing software, and the program
defaulted back to the generic "Unknown Charge" in the description field. This has been
changed back to "Federal Water Testing fee". Thanks for pointing this out to us!
2. LIQUOR/BEER IN THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT BUILDING. Recently, it has been
brought to my attention that liquor was delivered and stored openly in the building. I don't
think it is a good idea to have liquor present when the girl scouts and young groups are present
in the building. I would appreciate if the Council would give me direction on this matter.
3. 1-94 MEETING NOTES WITH DAN KROM AND OUTLINE OF TINKLENBERG
WORKPLAN.
Larry's Notes....
Meeting with Dan Krom on January 26,2005 to review Federal Funding Request

Dan reviewed the funding goals to seek 1.5 million in an Appropriation and 12 million in an
Authorization. Dan mentioned not to expect receiving 12 million, but a portion is possible.
Getting the 1.5 million is highly likely to garner the support of the Minnesota legislative
delegation.
Discussed deadlines for completion of the Project Summary portion of the work plan
establishing Friday, February 11,2004 for completion ofthis activity. This information is

Project Budget is therefore $1,873,000 + $721,559 = $2,594,559. The SEH study details
spaces in the building totaling 10,522 sq. ft. at $160/sq. ft.
Actual building cost will depend on the building program and level of design to be
approved by the Owner. Owner's budget should include a contingency of 3 - 5 percent of
the construction cost for potential change order additions to the work during construction.

City Council Workshop Minutes
January 18,2005
Albertville City Hall
7:00 PM
PRESENT: Mayor Don Peterson, Council members Tom Fay, Ron Klecker, LeRoy
Berning and John Vetsch, City Engineer Pete Carlson, Jaimison Slobodan, Scott McBride
and City Administrator Larry Kruse
ABSENT: None
Mayor Peterson called the City Council meeting of the City of Albertville to order at
6:30 p.m.
The purpose of the workshop was to review 1-94 traffic modeling. Scott McBride opened
by reviewing the history of the project and outlined the five different options that traffic
modeling has been completed as follows:
.
1) No-build: 1-94 with 6 lanes, No Naber Intersection
2) 2B: Modified CD Road EB & WB
3) 2C: Modified CD Road EB, Direct Ramps WB
4) B: Full Intersection CR 19, halflntersection CR 37
5) D: Full Intersection CR 19, No Intersection CR37
Mr. McBride shared the 2030 traffic counts for CR19 at 14,000 trips per day to and from
the West ofCSAH 19 and 30,000 trips per day from the East ofCSAH 37.
Mr. McBride then stated that 5,000 of the trips to and from the East will use CSAH 37
and 4,000 of the 1-94 East bound traffic will exit on CSAH 37.
The majority of the traffic will use CSAH 19 as follows: 10,000 trips per day to and
from the West will use CSAH 19 and 25,000 trips per day from East 1-94 will use
CSAH 19.
The Council wanted to emphasize that the No-build, full Intersection at CR 19 and half at
CR 37, and the full intersection at CR 19, and no intersection at CR 37 were requirements
from MNDOT to study and needed to build the case to support 2B and 2C Modified
Collector Distributor layouts. Further the Council wanted to make it clear that they do not
support closing any ramps on CSAH 37.
.
.
Questions the Council asked and SEH stated they would get back to the City are:
1) If the interchange were built today, what would the traffic counts be for CSAH
19 and CSAH 37, as compared to slide number 2
2) What would the traffic modeling of2B and 2C look like without the Naber
Avenue interchange?
The Council set a public informational meeting for Monday, February 28th at 6:30 p.m. at
a location to be announced.
RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT
City Administrator Kruse stated the timeframe to garner legislative support for a state or
federal appropriation for 1-94 is short and advised the council to adopt a resolution as
soon as possible. The City is asking other government units to support us and Albertville
should lead with a resolution.
By consensus the Council agreed to consider and support a resolution for the 1-94 project
at the Monday, February 7,2005 City Council meeting. The preferred layout is Option
2C, Modified CD Road EB, Direct Ramps WB.
Workshop adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Re:
City of Albertville Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Enclosed please find a copy of the CIP and worksheet that we discussed a year ago. I've
updated the worksheet for 2005. There are several ways to finance the City Hall project
as follows:
1) EDA Lease
2) Capital Improvement Bond
3) General Obligation Bond (requires referendum)
.
It is important that the City adopt a CIP plan not only to have the ability to finance certain
improvements, but it is also a requirement for the Government Finance Officers
Association Comprehensive Financial Audit Report and the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award programs.
Last year, the council tabled discussion on this and now I hope to bring it back for
Council consideration.

Re:
City of Albertville Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is an important part ofthe City's overall planning
processes. The City's Capital Improvement Plan objectives include:
. Planning for capital maintenance and improvement by preparing a CIP and,
. Providing consistent investment in City equipment, facilities and infrastructure
and,
. Preserving and expanding capital in a way that is sustainable and affordable for
Albertville citizens.
. The proposed 2004/08 CIP was reviewed at the January 14,2004 City Council
Workshop. A public hearing will be held on February _,2004 and the City Council
will consider adopting the 2004/08 CIP after the hearing.
In 2003, the legislature approved new legislation, which allows the City to issue bonds
for the purpose of a city hall, public safety facility and public works facility. The CIP
process and documents have been designed to meet the criteria of the legislation. In
general the City must prepare a detailed capital improvement plan, conduct a public
hearing and adopt the Capital Improvement Plan.
The 2004/08 CIP totals $10,780,000 in gross improvements.
The City has completed a Capital Improvement Plan that preserves and enhances
Albertville's quality of life, delivers high quality public services effectively and
efficiently, and manages City Resources responsibly.
Introduction
.
The City plans for capital maintenance and improvements by preparing a capital
improvement plan (CIP). The CIP represents a framework for planning the preservation
and expansion of capital including equipment, facilities and infrastructure. It sets forth
the estimated schedule, timing and details of specific improvement by year, together with
.
the estimated cost, the need for the improvement and sources of revenue to pay for the
improvement.
The CIP is linked to the City's strategic plan. More specifically, it accomplishes the
following key objectives found in the City's strategic plan:
. Preserves and enhances Albertville's high quality oflife.
. Delivers high quality public services effectively and efficiently.
. Manages City resources responsibly.
This is accomplished by preserving and expanding capital in a way that is sustainable and
affordable for Albertville citizens.
The City Council considered the following when preparing the CIP for each project and
for the overall plan:
.
. the condition of the City's infrastructure including the projected need for repair or
replacement.
. the likely demand for the improvement.
. the estimated cost of the improvement.
. the available public resources.
. the level of overlapping debt in the City.
. The relative benefits and costs of alternative uses of funds.
. Operating cost of the proposed improvement.
. Alternatives for providing services most efficiently through shared facilities with
other cities or local government units.
Capital Improvement Def"mition
A capital improvement is a major expenditure of City funds. For the CIP, the City
defines a capital improvement where the cost of a single project or piece of equipment is
over $25,000.
"For the purpose of issuing bonds under Minnesota Statutes 475.521 (originally codified
as Minnesota Statutes 410.326, capital improvement means acquisition or betterment of
public lands, buildings or other improvements for the purpose of a city hall, public safety
facility, and public works facility. An improvement must have an expected useful life of
five years or more to qualify."
Capital Policies
The following debt and capital policies have been established to guide policy decisions
regarding capital improvement planning.
.
. The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements or projects
that cannot be financed from current revenues. Where the issuance oflong-term
.
debt is required, it will pay back the bonds within a period not to exceed the
expected useful life of the project.
. The City will maintain a sound relationship with all bond-rating agencies and will
keep them informed about current capital projects.
. The City will maintain a five-year Capital Improvement Plan for all projects over
$25,000 and will update the plan every two years.
. A minimum of $ will be budgeted annually as a transfer from the
General Fund to the Capital Improvement/Maintenance Fund.
Process
The City maintains a Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Bi-annually, each
department documents and prioritizes their requested projects and submits them to the
City Administrator. The City Administrator, with the assistance of department heads and
staff, reviews, analyzes and prioritizes projects. Finally the City Administrator presents a
recommended CIP to the City Council for their consideration. Once the City Council is
comfortable with the proposed CIP, the City Council will host a public hearing to garner
public comments. Finally, based on the public input, the Council will adopt or amend and
adopt a bi-annual CIP.
. Project Summary
The Capital Improvement Plan includes improvement, repair and maintenance of City
owned facilities including but not limited to the City Hall, Fire Stations, Public Works
Facilities, Information Technology and Parks.
Public Works Facilities includes the pavement management program and trails systems.
The pavement management program provides ongoing maintenance of approximately
_ miles of City streets.
Funding
The projects identified in the Capital Improvement Plan are funded primarily through
pay-as-you-go financing and dept. These funding sources are described below.
Pay-As- You-Go
.
. Pay-as-you-go is a method of financing capital projects with current revenues -
paying equal the original capital costs, depending on interest rates and repayment
schedules.
. Pay-as-you-go protects borrowing capacity for unforeseen major outlays that are
beyond any current year's capacity.
.
. Pay-as-you-go fosters favorable bond ratings when long-term financing is
undertaken.
The City uses pay-as-you-go financing for most of the CIP including amounts from the
Capital Improvement/Maintenance Fund and the Park Improvement Fund.
Debt
The use of debt, borrowing is the major alternative to pay-as-you-go. The City has many
financing and debt mechanisms available, which may be used. A brief description of the
different types of debt purposed in the CIP follows although other financing and debt
options may also be used.
. General Obligation Bonds
General obligation bonds are any obligation, which pledge the full faith
and credit of the City to their payment. Bonds may be issued for the
acquisition or betterment of public buildings, parks, playgrounds, and
streets and to provide money for any authorized corporate purpose.
Obligations may be issued by any municipality upon obtaining the
approval of the electors unless the issue is specifically exempted from the
election requirement.
.
. Capital Improvement Plan Bonds
In 2003, the Minnesota legislature passed Minnesota Statute 410.326,
which allows cities to issue bonds under a qualified capital improvement
plan without referendum requirements. Bonds may be issued for the
acquisition or betterment of public lands, buildings or other improvements
for the purpose of a city hall, public safety facility, and public works
facility. The CIP process and documents have been designed to meet the
criteria of the law. In general, the law requires an analysis of each project
and how it fits into the overall plan, a public hearing and council adoption
of the plan.
]
. Capital Notes
Per Minnesota Statute 412.301, the city may issue capital notes to
purchase public safety equipment and other capital equipment having an
expected useful life at least as long as the terms of the notes or up to five
years.
Conclusion
.
The City has completed a Capital Improvement Plan that preserves and enhances
Albertville's high quality of life, delivers high quality public services effectively and
efficiently, and manages City resources responsibly. The CIP is an important tool to
maintain and provide consistent investment in City equipment, facilities and
infrastructure.

Wright County
by John Holler
When counties, cities and
townships run their budgets on
the calendar year and the state
runs its budgets on a fiscal year,
there are bound to be problems.
Such was the discussion at the
Tuesday, Jan. 11, meeting of the
Wright County Board, as High-
way Engineer Wayne Fingalson
reported to the commissioners
that the state likely won't give the
county its full $1.4 million request
for state aid money in 2005. Fin-
gals on told the board that th
numbers are bad all over and th
it looks to get worse before it ge
better.
"It's a pretty sorry financi
state they're in right now," Finga
son said. "There are shortfalls i
both the regular and municip
state aid construction accounts."
As a result, the county boar
approved a resolution supporti
a transportation funding packag .
sponsored by the Association 0
Minnesota Counties. The funding
bill got bogged down in the State
Legislature because of disagree-
ments as to how counties would
share the allotment. Under the
AMC plan, some of the shortfall
would be made up through
increasing the state's gas tax,
which currently sits at 20 'Cents
per gallon-a figure in the lower
one-third of state gas taxes.
The county had planned to
send out a press release explain-
ing its dilemma to the citizens of
the county, but held off on doing
it until later this month. The
county waits to see how much of
its advance encumbering will be
provided by the state.
In other items on the Jan. 11
agenda, the board: . ,
. Awarded the Howard Lake-
Waverly Herald as the . official
county newspaper for 2005. The
. ., ..,..1 ~"Q" f.-Am the
Clearwater Watershed District
was named Watershed District of
the Year by the Minnesota
Department of Natural Re-
sources.

transportation committee of the
whole meeting held Wednesday,
Jan. 5. Amon the items discussed -V'
