ADJOURNMENT 2 COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE • MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT- March 3, 2004 Alan Brixius Northwest Associated Consultants 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555 St. Louis Park, MN 55416 RE: Informational Signs Dear Alan: Per our phone conversation on Wednesday, March Td, I would like to have the City consider another community sign that would either be placed on the property that is owned by the hardware store kitty-corner from Culvers or on the Park-N-Ride property. We've been in contact with Don, the owner of the hardware store and believe we can structure a rental; agreement to place a sign on his property. Because the City does not allow off -premise signs, this rental agreement would be placed in the City's name but Albertville Crossing would guarantee enough of the rental spaces to insure the City monies necessary to cover the service on thercost of the signage. • If the City would require, we would be willing to pay our entire rental amount up front to cover the entire cost of the sign. We would at least like to take half of the signage but would be willing to take any of the spaces that you might not be able to rent out. It is important with new shopping centers and infancy of new businesses to have good signage to build up the business and make people aware of their locations. A few of the tenants have put signage on a truck near the outlet mall, which we know is not permitted by the City, but that increased their business that day by over 50%. I'd be happy to pull together more detailed information from the owner of the hardware store if you request, but we would hope that you could move on this project as soon as possible. We would sure like to see the signage up by May of this year, Thanks for your co er tion. Please c ith any questions or if you would like us to further make a present o t e full counci Very I u -.'Ga a { 003, LLC Cc: erry Hertel 'ty Administrator, City of Albertville 15600 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 201 • Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 Office (952) 476-9400 • Fax (952) 476-9401 0 PARK BOARD REPORT. The Council was provided with draft minutes from the February 25, 2004, Park Board Meeting. Weigle reported on several action items forwarded from the Park Board. The first related to a Locker room Addition for the Hockey Arena. He reported the Park Board was proposing to use Park Dedication fees up to $150,000 to match dollar for dollar donations raised by the Hockey Association. The proposal would also be contingent on Albertville agreeing to fund in the same amount. After brief discussion, Council Member Scherber/Mayor Kessler moved to approve matching dollar for dollar donations raised by the Hockey Association up to $150,000, with funds to come from park dedication fees, and with the match also contingent on the City of Albertville donating an equal amount. All voted aye.

We have also been cleaning the Fire Hall monthly. Signs — All major entrances to the city have "Welcome to Albertville" signs on them except on County Road 19 (north) from St. Michael. None of the signs have our population on them. The County will install a sign on County Road 19 (north) from St. Michael that reads "Albertville Population As other signs go bad, they will replace them with this type of sign, as they want all signs to be consistent. We will be repairing and painting the wooden "Welcome to Albertville" signs when weather permits. I have contacted the Civic Organizations about their signs as well. We continue to pick up signs around town and have several stored behind the Public Works shop. Parks Timberland (a new store at the Outlet Mall) approached me about doing a community service project. They would provide the labor if we lave them a project and the materials.We came up with a project located on the south side of 57 Street between Lachman Avenue and Lambert Avenue. There is a grassy area just off the sidewalk by a pond. We would like to install a 12 x 12 patio with 2 benches. The patio would consist of pavers with a timber border and shrubs on 2 sides. We would also be planting 4 crab apple trees in this area. The cost for materials is approximately $1,800. 1 have approached the Lions regarding this project and they may pay for some or all of this project. They want to do the project for Earth Day, which is at the end of April. tg/mh 15 City of Albertville MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John Middendorf, Wastewater Department DATE: March 15, 2004 SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Facility Report The wastewater treatment plant continues to work well. I have had problems with the DJ's lift station. In January, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) burned out. I had Sweeney Controls come out and repair it. The bill was pretty high for what they did. The major portion of the bill was just to get them here from Fargo. So this time when it burned out, I ordered a complete PLC, installed it myself, and mailed the old one in for repair. �N MC, 5775 Wayzata .Boulevard.

Development of a restaurant site was contemplated in October 2003 during the City review and approval of the Shoppes at Towne Lakes One Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD). The City Council considered approval of a 6,300 square foot future restaurant site subject to the applicant filing a specific site/building plan at a future date to be reviewed in detail by City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council. The overall design of the PUD includes an integrated shopping area that provides shared parking and access arrangements. As part of the PUD, areduction in the required parking was approved for Lots 5 and 6, (restaurant and hotel sites), to accomplish a reduction in the amount of impervious surface for the project and to accommodate the individual needs of the retailers and hospitality businesses that share parking lot arrangements. Additionally, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved with the PUD which allowed for flexibility from Shoreland District impervious surface standards to allow an overall impervious surface of 67 percent for the retail area. Attached for reference: Exhibit A - Artist Rendering - Building Exteriors Exhibit B - Site Plan Exhibit C - Floor Plan Exhibit D - Landscape Plan Exhibit E - Lighting Plan 17 RECOMMENDATIONS Based upon staff review of the site plan application, the recommendation is to approve the site plan subject to the conditions identified herein.

Said enclosures shall be a masonry design and be compatible with the exterior architectural features and colors of the principal building. MISCELLANEOUS 19. The City Engineer shall review and approve grading, drainage, parking lot circulation, and snow removal/storage plans for the site. PROPOSED SITE PLAN Building. The proposal is to construct a 6,256 square foot restaurant to be known as D. Michael B.' s Gar and Grill on the southwest corner of the Shoppes at Towns Lakes One site. See attached Exhibits for reference to the proposed site plan and building elevations. The proposed restaurant will be sided • with a number of materials including stucco, stone, wood trim and windows, and asphalt shake shingles. A cupola is proposed on the roof of the building and the building appears to contain a fireplace as well. 19 Examples of the proposed exterior materials should be provided to demonstrate that said materials are compatible with the other building exteriors in the PUD. _ The north side of the building (facing Lamplight Drive) is a long wall that is proposed to be stucco with a trim accent. Staff suggests that the north building elevation be modified to incorporate ledger stone similar to the other building exteriors to improve the appearance of the building at the entrance of the retail part of the PUD. The applicant did not submit building plans with the site plan application and therefore staff is not able to determine if the plan conforms to height and screening standards. Building plans will need to be submitted showing the location of all exterior mechanical equipment including roof-mountedequipment and provide required screening. The site plan will need to be amended to show the location and seating capacity of the patio described on the artist rendering (to be constructed on the southwest side of the building). The plans shall also be amended to provide the amount of impervious surface proposed and said impervious surface shall comply with that granted for the PUD. Additionally, because the restaurant is in close proximity to residential properties, it is recommended that equipment (filtration system) be installed to minimize cooking odors generated by the restaurant. Landscaping/Screening. The landscape plan indicates that a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers will be planted on site that should result in an attractive site and grounds. The developer of the PUD (CDPC) received approval of a landscape plan as part of the PUD approval for the Shoppes at Town Lakes One project. CDPC will be responsible to install street trees along the southerly and 'easterly sides of Lamplight Drive. The applicant is responsible for installing landscaping and screening that is internal to the site. As stated earlier, there is no indication on the plans for the location of exterior equipment which needs to be shown on the plans and the landscape plan amended accordingly to provide screening of maintenance equipment. As part of the PUD approval, the landscape plan was to be amended to remove the crab apple or any fruit bearing trees shown in the areas of the western two parking lot islands. Non non -fruit bearing trees were required to avoid messes associated with the dropping of fruit or seeds in the areas of the western two parking lot islands. The proposed plan shows Spring Snow Crab apple trees and needs to be amended to replace said trees with non-fi-uit/seed producing varieties of trees. Additionally, the landscape plan needs to be modified to provide planting instructions and site irrigation plan. The landscape plan should also be revised to show the location of trees to be planted by CDPC so that staff can evaluate the plan to ensure spacing standards are satisfied and that plants are located in a manner where they will grow to their maximum potential. The applicant will also need to provide a cost estimate to show compliance with the City's minimum landscape value requirements. Lighting. The applicant did not submit a lighting with the site plan application showing the location and type of light fixtures proposed. The PUD required that the site lighting contain fixtures consistent` with those approved for the PUD which shall be 28 feet and consist of the Omega Series which is a down light fixture with an ornamental figurehead. The poles shall be cast aluminum with attractive light pole base. Additionally, the PUD required the submittal of a revised lighting and photometric plan showing the location, type and specifications for all exterior lighting as well as a photometric plan that demonstrates that light quantities at the centerline of the Lamplight Drive do not exceed one -foot candle. The photometric plan submitted with the application shows light quantities along Lamplight Drive exceeding the one -foot candle standard and said plans must be revised to be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. LJ 20 Parking / Loading. The PUD approval for the project contemplated joint parking arrangements between Lots 6 and 5 and allowed flexibility to reduce the number of parking spaces required by 9%. The preliminary plat indicated that 202 parking spaces were required for Lots 5; and 6. The PUD allowed for a reduction of parking spaces from 202 to'185 spaces. The required parking for both Lots 5 and 6 is 188 spaces less 18 spaces (9%PUD flexibility) or 169 total parking spaces. The site plan indicates that 181 spaces are provided for combined Lots 5 and 6, which conforms to the approved PUD parking flexibility for the project. As Lot 5 contains a joint use parking lot, the applicant should be required to provide the City with documentation showing that shared access and parking easements/agreements exist and have been filed with Wright County for joint access between Lots 5 and 6. The site plan does not indicate the type of surface or curb for the parking lot and as such the plans shall be amended to indicate that the entireparking area shall have bituminous surface and a continuous concrete curb that will surround the entire parking and driveway areas.. The lots shall be properly striped in accordance with the Albertville Zoning Ordinance. The site plan must also be modified to identify snow storage areas and in the event that snow storage will not occur on site, a plan for snow removal must be identified as part of the site plan approval. Said snow storage and snow removal plan shall be submitted for review and approval of the City Engineer. Setbacks. The site plan does not conform to the approved PUD setbacks for the building. The proposed setback from the restaurant to Lamplight Drive is 25 feet as opposed to 30 feet approved with the PUD. The restaurant is proposed to be setback 20 feet from the west property line as opposed to the 25-foot setback approved in the PUD. During consideration of the PUD and preliminary plat, the restaurant was shown with a 21-foot setback from the west private drive and 30 foot setback from the north private drive. With the PUD approval, the setbacks were to be increased from private road to 25 feet (from west road) and 32 feet (from north road) respectively to address issues related to sight visibility at the curve of the street and to provide more uniform setback throughout the overall PUD. The site plan must be modified to meet the approved PUD setbacks. Signage. The placement of the monument sign was to maintain at least a 10 foot setback from the edge of the private streets ,and to be located in a manner that does not obstruct traffic visibility at the site access and egress points. The proposed monument sign location/orientation has been modified from the original site plan to increase the setback from the sign to Lamplight Drive (west side of the building) to 13 feet. The proposed sign location setback from the west lot line is 5 feet. To increase site visibility for vehicles, the monument sign is proposed to be placed on an angle as opposed to the original plan which showed the orientation of the sign to be perpendicular to the street. The proposed monument sign has been situated in a manner that it is located outside of the 30-foot clear view triangle area. No other sign information was filed with the site plan application. A detailed sign plan and permit application, should be submitted illustrating the location, size, area, height, placement, materials, lighting and other standards required by the Zoning Ordinance Trash Enclosure. The trash enclosure area is proposed on the northeast corner of the restaurant. No details have been provided concerning the construction of the enclosure. Building plans for the trash enclosure must be submitted for review and approval of City staff and said enclosure shall be designed of a masonry material and shall be of the same color and texture that would be compatible with the Is principal building. 21. CONCLUSION Based upon the PUD approvals granted for the Shoppes at Towne Lakes One, and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, there is additional detail that needs to be supplied by the applicant for site plan approval. A major issue relates to the proposed building setbacks for the restaurant that do not comply with the approved PUD. Additionally, the applicant needs to provide parking lot circulation, loading, snow storage/removal and additional details regarding proposed exterior materials, trash enclosure and landscape/screening and irrigation. The recommendations from staff related to the site plan application are provided at the beginning of this report.

Keep it Safe Industries recently requested a 200 square foot pylon sign that would be 30 foot tall located in close proximity to nearby residential uses. The City Council has voiced some concern regarding pylon signage within the Industrial District. In the Council's opinion large pylon signs may not be appropriate for the Industrial District because the purpose of the district is for manufacturing of goods and not necessarily attracting customers. The Council also expressed concern regarding pylon signs near residential uses as well as the type of lighting used for these types of signs. The Council during their December meeting, directed staff to look at other methods for signage such as freestanding or monument signage as well as limitations regarding height and size. Currently, the ordinance states that in industrial areas, "not more than one ground sign along each public street which access is available for the parcel. The total area of such ground sign shall not exceed 200 square feet and the maximum sign height is 30 feet." In conducting a code search regarding signage within other communities, it is common have a maximum height of 20 feet.Additionally, as part of the sign requirement in many communities, a freestanding sign base shall be surrounded with a landscape planter at least 3 feet in height and constructed of materials to match the principal building. In some cities monument signs are permitted over pylon signs. The City of Lakeville allows "one sign at one entrance to an area from amajor collector or arterial street. Each sign area shall not exceed 100 square feet with a maximum sign structure height of 10 feet for freestanding signs. Signs shall be located 15 feet from the property line. Lighting of signs shall be permitted, provided that glare or Light from such lighting does not illuminate any adjacent properties, buildings, structures, or public rights of way. Any lighted signs shall require an electrical permit." 23 RECOMMENDATION As a way to minimize the impact of pylon signs with surrounding areas, the City may wish to insert the following language into the sign ordinance. If desired, the City would need to amended Section 10 Subd. 3 (c) of the sign ordinance to read as follows (bold indicates proposed changes to the subsection): Ground Sign: Not more than one (1) ground sign or monument sign shall be permitted on an industrial lot. The total area of the ground or monument sign shall not exceed 100 square feet. (1) Signs constructed of metal and illuminated by any means requiring internal wiring or electrically wired accessory fixtures attached to a metal sign shall be maintain a free clearance to grade of nine (9) feet to ground. In the event that a metal sign structure or accessory fixture herein described is grounded by the use of a grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors, and said structures or fixture is also grounded by being bonded to a grounding electrode at the sign site, no clearance to grade shall be mandatory. (2) Signage shall only be permitted within the front yard. Where a building is located on a corner lot, the front yard shall be defined as that boundary abutting a public right-of-way having the least width. (3) Sign area for ground signs applies to only one (1) face of a two-faced ground or monument sign, or two (2) faces of a four -faced sign. (4) No ground sign shall be located closer to any property line than ten (10) feet. (5) No metal ground sign shall be located within eight (8) feet vertically and four (4) feet horizontally of electric wires of conductors in free air carrying more than forty-eight (48) volts, whether or not such wires or conductors are insulated or otherwise protected. (6) No signage shall be permitted to exceed 12 feet above the centerline grade of the adjoining road. (7) No exterior illumination shall be permitted on any sign within the Industrial District. All signage shall be internally lit with light letters on dark background. 24 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.595.9837 plannersCnacplanning.com MEMORANDUM TO: Albertville City Administrator FROM: Alan Brixius DATE: January 21, 2004 RE: Article 5000 of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance "W Wetland Systems District NAC File No. 163.05-03.15 BACKGROUND The City of Albertville has determined that wetlands serve to maintain water quality by filtering water that is discharged into ground water aquifers and by retaining inorganic sediments, toxicants, and nutrients. The City recognizes that buffer strips surrounding wetlands protect shorelines from erosion while serving to filter sediment, chemicals and other nutrients before storm water discharges into the wetland. Buffer strips are also beneficial in providing habitat for wildlife. Article 5000 ("W" Wetland Systems District) of the Albertville ZoningOrdinance sets forth regulations gu governing the protection of wetlands areas within the City of Albertville. Article 5000 predates the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (Minnesota Laws 1991 Chapter 354, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time) and has becomeobsolete and redundant in its application. The City of Albertville desires to amend Article 5000 ("W" Wetlands Systems District) of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance to incorporate by reference the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (Minnesota Laws 1991 Chapter 354, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time) and the accompanying rules of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (Minnesota Rules Chapter 8420, as amended,` supplemented or replaced from time to time). This item was tabled in December 2003 for consideration after review by the City Engineer. The -City Engineer has reviewed the proposed amendment and provided comments as indicated in bold text. ISSUES ANALYSIS The Wetland Conservation Act was passed in 1991 as Minnesota Laws Chapter 354, as amended (codified, as amended, at Minnesota Statutes, Sections 103G.222-.2373 and in other scattered sections) (WCA). The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources promulgated rules in Minnesota Rules Chapter 8420, as amended (Rules). The WCA regulates (1) draining and filling of all wetland types; (2) excavation in the permanently and semi -permanently flooded areas of types 3, 4, and 5 wetlands; and (3) excavation in all wetland types if the excavation includes filling or draining or results in conversion 25 to non -wetland (including deep water habitat). The overall goal of the WCA is no net loss of wetlands.' 0 RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION The City of Albertville has determined that wetlands serve to maintain water quality by filtering water that is discharged into ground water aquifers and by retaining inorganic sediments, toxicants, and nutrients. Amending Article 5000 of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance to incorporate the WCA and related rules by reference will afford wetland protection through the regulation of draining and filling of wetlands and portions of wetlands within the City of Albertville and eliminate redundant requirements that predate the WCA. Requiring buffer zones surrounding wetland areas will protect wetland shorelines from erosion, while serving to filter sediment, chemicals and other nutrients before storm water discharges into the wetland. In addition, buffer strips are also beneficial in providing, habitat for wildlife. Requiring signage at the wetland boundaries will enhance wetland protection and aid in administration of wetland protection regulations. Staff recommends amending Article 5000 of the Albertville Zoning Ordinance to incorporate by reference the Wetland Conservation Act and to include requirements for buffer zones and wetland signage.

MINUTES: MOTION BY Commission member Dorenbush, seconded by Commission member Kocon to approve the minutes of December 9, 2003, Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes with one minor revision. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS INTERVIEW PLANNING COMMISSION CANDIDATES Chair Leintz openedthe interview process. She asked if the two candidates would step up to the podium to introduce themselves to the commission and explain a little about why they would like to serve on the commission. Jason Heuring proceeded to the podium first. He began by stating that he grew up in Albertville. He currently works in Albertville. He would like to get more involved in helping plan the future of Albertville. Tiffany Meza proceeded to the podium second. She briefly went over her application and went into a little more detail. She had originally applied about a year ago. She shared with the commission that she is in the accounting field. She would have the financial background but doesn't have much planning experience. They have been in the area for a number of years and would like to get more involved with the future planning of Albertville. After interviewing Chair Leintz stated that the commission members would collect their ratings and make a recommendation for appointment at the next city council meeting. 41 PUBLIC HEARINGS: There were no Public hearings at this time. OTHER BUSINESS D.MICHAEL B's BAR & GRILL — SITE AND PLAN REVIEW City Planner Brixius reviewed the site plan before the commission. He handed out updated renderings of the site and building plan. The purpose of this item is to consider site and building plan approval for D. Michael B's Bar and Grill to be located off of County Road 19 in Albertville. The subject site is part of the Shoppes at Towne Lakes One Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the underlying site is zoned B-2A, Limited Business and guided by the Comprehensive Plan as Commercial. Development of a restaurant site was contemplated in October 2003 during the City review and approval of the Shoppes at Towne Lakes One Preliminary Plat and PUD. The City Council considered approval of a 6,300 square foot future restaurant site subject to the applicant filling a specific site/building plan at a future date to be reviewed in detail by city staff, Planning Commission and City Council. The overall design of the PUD includes an integrated shopping area that provides shared parking and access arrangements. As part of the PUD, a reduction in the required parking site was approved for Lots 5 and 6, (restaurant and hotel sites) to accomplish a reduction in the amount of impervious surface for the project and to accommodate the individual needs of the retailers and hospitality businesses that share parking lot arrangements. Additionally, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved with the PUD, which allowed for flexibility from Shoreland District impervious surface standards to allow an overall impervious surface of 67 percent for the retail area. Based upon the PUD approvals granted for the Shoppes at Towne Lakes One, and requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, there is additional detail that needs to be supplied by the applicant for site plan approval. A major issue relates to the proposed building setbacks for the restaurant that do not comply with the approved PUD. Additionally, the applicant needs to provide parking lot circulation, loading, snow storage/removal and additional details regarding proposed exterior materials, trash enclosure and landscape/screening and irrigation. The representatives were present David and Debborah Bistodeau, as well as Dave Hempel from CPDC. Dave asked the commission if the setback is negotiable. Could they go with a 20-foot setback? The commission discussed the setback issue. The commission would not have a problem reducing the 30-foot setback to 25-foot setback. From the north property line only, with the final decision would coming from the City Council. MOTION BY Commission member Dorenbush, seconded by Commission member Wagner to amend the PUD for the setback reducing it from 30-foot setback to 25-foot setback on the north-west side of the plan. They did not reduce the 25-foot setback. Motion carried unanimously. 42 There were additional concerns regarding the sidewalk, snow removal, and the seating area. MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to approve the revisions of the City Planner's report making note of the changes on the Findings of Fact that would be presented to the City Council at the March 1, 2004 meeting. Motion carried unanimously. INDUSTRIAL PARK SIGNS City Planner Brixius addressed the background of the industrial park signs. The City Council has directed staff to look at size and height requirements for signage within the Industrial District. The City Council has voiced some concern regarding pylon signage within the Industrial District. Currently, the ordinance states that in industrial areas, "not more than one ground sign along each public street which access is available for the parcel. The total area of such ground sign shall not exceed 200 square feet and the maximum sign height is 30 feet." MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Dorenbush to recommend sending this to the City Council. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE WETLAND/SHORELAND Chair Leintz continued the public hearing for the wetland / shoreland ordinance at 8:02 p.m. City Planner Brixius reviewed the Wetland Systems District. He stated that it came about when the. Third Phase of the Outlets was being developed. The City of Albertville has determined that wetlands serve to maintain water quality by filtering water that is discharged into ground water aquifers and by retaining inorganic sediments, toxicants, and nutrients. The City recognizes that buffer strips surrounding wetlands protect shorelines from erosion while serving to filter sediment, chemicals and other nutrients before storm water discharges into the wetland. Buffer strips are also beneficial in providing habitat for wildlife. There was no one present from the public. Closed the public hearing - 8:20 p.m. MOTION BY Commission member Wagner, seconded by Commission member Kocon to approve the changes to the Wetland/Shoreland Ordinance. Motion carried unanimous. ADJOURNMENT MOTION BY Commission member Kocon, seconded by Commission member Wagner to adjourn the regular council meeting at 8:23 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. 43 MINUTES JOINT WATER BOARD REGULAR MEETING of January 26, 2004 6:00 PM Joint Powers Water Treatment Plant Board Room 6:00 PM Call to Order by Vice Chairperson, Wayne Kessler.

Kessler asked if Browning had been able to get any information from Meyer-Rohlin regarding the Shirley Barthel pre -paid hook-up. Browning stated that she had not been able to get any information as of yet. Under New Business annual ual appointments were made. MOTION BY JOE HAGERTY, SECOND BY KOTTKE, TO APPOINT DON PETERSON AS CHAIRPERSON. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. DON PETERSON ASSUMED CHAIRPERSON POSTION AT THIS TIME.

MOTION BY FAY, SECOND BY KESSLER, TO APPOINT CROW RIVER NEWS AS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER; OFFICIAL DEPOSITORIES AS LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, US BANK, PMA, GREAT NORTHERN BANK, AND HIGHLAND BANK. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 44 Browning stated that the Audit for 2002 was not yet complete, but that Larson -Allen had been on site to perform the fieldwork required to complete the audit report. She also explained that the staff had serious concerns about the timeliness of the audits in the past couple of years. This year also had been unusual in that the person that had previously performed the field work, Casey, had left the firm and that another auditor had to take up the slack in his remaining workload. This meant that much of the knowledge of Joint Powers' finances had gone with him and had to be "re -learned" by another auditor, who already had her own caseload to manage. Hagerty asked if there was any problem on our end getting them what they need to complete the audit. Browning stated that was not the case. Browning stated that she also was surprised that the auditor that had been on -site the previous week had very few questions or requests for information during the data gathering. Browning stated that she would like to hold off on appointing an auditor and entertain doing an RFP for auditors for the 2003 audit and beyond once the 2002 audit is complete, as Larson -Allen (formerly Gruys Borden and Carlson) had been doing the audit now for several years. MOTION BY PETERSON, SECOND BY JOE HAGERTY, TO ENTERTAIN PROPOSALS ONCE THE 2002 AUDIT REPORT IS COMPLETE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. MOTION BY KESSLER, SECOND BY FAY, TO APPROVE THE CORPORATE AUTHORIZATION RESOLUTIONS FOR GREAT NORTHERN BANK AND HIGHLAND BANK. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Signature cards were then passed around with Paullin's to be signed at a later date when she is back from her vacation. Browning briefly explained Resolution 012604 (Resolution to Continue Deferral of a Pro-Rata Part of Trunk Availability Charge.) This was consistent with what had been done with the Jet Edge Property in the past. This property Haus roe was a large parcel with the Trunk Availability Charge recorded p p p Y( property) rtY) g p Y g at the County. The property is being partially subdivided to provide the City easement for Frankfort Parkway. The City requested the charge be prorated based on the proportionate front footage of the property they were acquiring, which would be consistent with what had been done with the Jet Edge and Haller properties. MOTION MADE BY KESSLER, SECOND BY KOTTKE, TO APPROVE REESOLUTION 012604 TO CONTINUE DEFERRAL OF A PRO-RATA PART OF TRUNK AVAILABILITY CHARGE. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. There was some discussion of correspondence that had been received regarding some billing policies. One customer had written a note requesting that the Board/Cities consider a "senior discount". There was also a request by a customer regarding the possibility of a discount if "pre -paying" utility bills. Catlin stated that he wasn't aware of any Cities that he works with, either, that provide for these particular policies. Browning stated that it would be more work, administratively, to handle these accounts differently at this point. It was the consensus of the Board, after some discussion, that they didn't feel this was an issue that needed addressing, as there had been no previous similar requests from customers or comments received from customers that felt strongly about these issues. Browning also stated that the staff are in the process of working on setting up ACH (Automatic Debit) for bill payments, as well as researching the potential for credit card payments. This was informational only. Under the Engineer's Report, Catlin recommended payment of Pay Request #6 for Well #6, in the " amount of $14,896.72, to JR Ferche.:This means that the Board still retains $5,000 for some remaining 45 miscellaneous issues to get resolved prior to final payment. MOTION BY KOTTKE, SECOND BY FAY, TO APPROVE PAY REQUEST #6 TO JR FERCHE IN THE AMOUNT OF $14,896.72. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Under Operations/Office, Browning introduced Shelly Keyes as the new Office Manager. She explained that Linda had provided an extremely short notice that she was leaving (4 days) and that her last day had been January 91h. Browning stated that they were excited to have Shelly, as she had been one person that management had tried to recruit a few years ago when the Office Manager position had been open then. Browning also informed the Board that, after many months as a temporary employee, Ruth Johnson had taken the full-time Administrative Assistant position. Browning stated that she would be working very soon on getting the Joint Powers website updated, but it was still in its infancy and under construction. Browning pointed out to the Board the letter in their packets regarding WAC fees and procedures for determining commercial or industrial fees and asked if there were any questions or concerns. There were none. MOTION BY KESSLER, SECOND BY KOTTKE, TO APPROVE THE LIST OF CLAIMS AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. \ There was nothing to report or discuss under Other Business. MOTION BY KOTTKE, SECOND BY FAY, TO ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 6:30 PM. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. MOTION BY KESSLER, SECOND BY KOTTKE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. There was nothing for Unfmished Business. Under New Business, discussion was held regarding one resident's request to waive their water bill when they move south for the winter. Hagerty questioned the policy amount for minimum charges. Browning explained Joint Powers maintains the lines, keeps staff to turn water off and on at no charge and pointed out the benefit of fire protection. Board Members agreed convenience and availability are worth minimum charges. No policy change will be adopted at this time. Browning discussed a judgment received against Joint Powers by Donald Johnson. Mr. Johnson had filed suit addressing a City of St. Michael sump pump ordinance which Joint Powers bills for. The Joint Powers Office had never received notification of the summons and was not aware of any suit until receipt of the judgment. Browning provided an information packet for all Board Members summarizing the issue. Joint Powers attorneys have appealed and Browning will update as necessary. Under the Engineer's Report, Catlin recommended payment of Pay Estimate#7 (final pay request) of $10,221.33 for Traut Wells since the final test was completed. Catlin stated Well #7 has been designed and is ready for bid with recommended award on March 22"1. MOTION BY FAY, SECOND BY KESSLER TO APPROVE PAY ESTIMATE #7 TO TRAUT WELLS IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,221.33. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 47 Under Operations/Office, Browning stated no new information has been received from the auditor. The auditor assigned to Joint Powers had been on sick leave for a portion of February and had just returned to the office this week. Browning discussed the RFP example and stated it would be sent to other auditors when the 2002 audit is completed by Larson -Allen. Hagerty commented he would like to leave Larson -Allen out of the RFP. Discussion was held regarding WAC fee schedules. Joint Powers auditors would like to see more consistent reporting by the cities in regards to commercial and industrial rates. Hagerty questioned if the fees are set by the cities and if Joint Powers has any input. Catlin stated there is an engineering standard issued by the Metro Council of Environmental Services and can be found in The Sanitary Sewer Equivalency Handbook. Browning added that most cities use these policies and if there are discrepancies, the amounts should be agreed upon between the city and Joint Powers, since the fees are Joint Powers only capital income. Board Members agreed that any fees lowered by a city should be considered that city's right, but Joint Powers should be paid according to policy. Browning reported she spoke with the Albertville City Administrator who is waiting for their audit report in order to provide more accurate information. Berning offered to follow up on the status of monthly reporting with Albertville City Hall. Hagerty stated perhaps the 2002 audit should reference WAC fees. Browning stated the auditors felt the 2002 audit could be completed without it but will need the information to proceed with future audits. MOTION BY KESSLER, SECOND BY KOTTKE, TO APPROVE THE LIST OF CLAIMS AS PRESENTED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Under Other Business, Browning requested Paullin, Kessler and Peterson stop at Great Northern Bank and endorse the signature sheets and have their handscan processed for the safe deposit box. MOTION BY HAGERTY, SECOND BY FAY TO ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 6:37 P.M. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Recording Secretary 48 Wright County Commissioners: The Mayor's of Wright County would ask for your consideration of the following series of issues and responses to those issues. We feel it is important that the Cities and Wright County begin a dialog to analyze the issues facing the units of government in Wright County. Growth has made it mandatory that we attempt to jointly discuss common problems and derive common solutions in the best interests of our taxpayers. You will find several issues included for discussion including: Transportation, Bonding and Finance, Annexation and Land Use Planning, Services and Economic Development. There is included a discussion of the issues and the possible solutions to solve those issues in a cooperative manner. There are two information brochures for you to review at the end of the packet. WE ASK TO WORK WITH YOU. We hope you find the attached document interesting andthoughtprovoking. We look forward to hearing what your thoughts are on these topics. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Mayors of Wright County TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Issue: Wright County Cities are experiencing high growth that requires careful and thoughtful planning. Transportation is an important element of planning that needs to be implemented to promote safe connections of roads for residents of Wright County. Response: Wright County should take the lead to develop and maintain a viable comprehensive 40-year transportation plan. Wright County can receive significant increases in MSA funds as identified in the N.E. Wright County Transportation Study, and should also take the lead in financing these studies with some participation from the affected cities. Following the planning phase, protection of identified traffic corridors must be a high priority. Issue: Cities within Wright County feel left out of the County _ Transportation Planning process. Response: Wright County should actively engage cities in the development of the transportation Plan. FUNDING Issue: Wright County Cities are faced with high costs of updating infrastructure to serve residents of Wright County. Without the County's participation in financing road and traffic improvements, residents of the cities are burdened with undue costs of improving the County Roads system. Response: Funding for transportation improvements shall be shared in an amount equal to the portion of right-of-way held in the project area by each governing body. The County should consider bonding for this improvement so the future taxpayers of the County pay their portion of the improvement. Gas tax dollars that are collected for cities under 5,000 should be distributed proportionate to the amount each of these cities would receive. This money should be available for cities that are proposing improvement plans on county 0 roads. Issue: As Wright County experiences growth it is easy to spend these new tax dollars on other non -transportation things, and postpone investment in maintenance and construction of transportation systems. RESPONSE: Funds must be dedicated from this new tax base to fund transportation systems at adequate levels. Issue: Cities under 5,000 population do not receive any nonproperty tax funds for their collector and arterial streets. Response: Cities under 5,000 population that are not eligible for Municipal State Aid (MSA) should be able to use county municipal accounts and the 5 percent account of the highway user distribution fund. Uses of Wright County municipal accounts should dedicate these funds for local arterials and collector streets within cities under 5,000 population. In addition, the 5 percent set -aside account in the highway user distribution fund should be used to meet this funding gap. Hennepin County has used a similar model. TURNBACKS OF COUNTY ROADS Issue: As road funding becomes increasingly inadequate, more roads are being "turned back" to cities from the county and the state. Response: Turn backs should not occur without direct funding or transfer of a funding source. A process of negotiation and mediation should govern the timing, funding, and condition of tum-back roads. City taxpayers should receive the same treatment as township taxpayers. The requirement for a public hearing, standards about the conditions of turn backs, and temporary maintenance funding should also apply to county turn backs to cities. At a minimum, roads that are proposed to be turned back to a city government should be brought up to the standards of the receiving government, or that city should be compensated with a direct payment. Direct funding should be provided for smaller cities that are not provided with turn back financing through the municipal state aid system. BONDING AND FINANCE Project Financing Issue: Wright County Cities and Wright County are experiencing dramatic growth rates that place demands on the existing infrastructure of these units of government. Cooperatively, the County and Cities build road systems to serve that growth. Cooperative financing agreements would help to solve the funding problem of these projects. Bonds, which would help to spread the cost to future residents, should be considered a strong alternative to "pay as you go financing". Response: The Legislature has many tools available for those units of government that work together on projects. One of those tools is allowing units of government to levy outside of levy limits to pay the bonds of another unit of government. Moreover, future transportation systems will require the use of bonding to allow for adequate cash flow and to make sure future citizens pay their fair share of the costs of those systems. Bonding allows for equity in payment of transportation system costs. Debt service payments for today's projects whose designs incorporate future growth will be paid in the future by prospective taxpayers moving into the County. Amortization of project costs is fair and equitable to both existing residents and future residents. In addition, by the County bonding for projects, Cities are able to capture their portion of project costs through a special levy outside of levy limits. Again, this tool authorized by the Legislature, allows units of government that cooperate to more readily pay for projects they share. Using this tool makes it more likely, and I _ indeed more feasible, for cities to participate in County/City sponsored projects. p ANNEXATION AND LAND USE PLANNING Annexation Issue: Cities and Townships should negotiate land use planning in good faith and the County shall remain neutral and equally supportive. Response: The County, by following the intent and purpose of the County Land Use Plan, should equally and neutrally represent both cities and townships located within the County and should respect the governmental authority and the legal rights and interests of both cities and townships located with the County. Planning/Land Use Issue: Unplanned and uncontrolled growth has a negative environmental, fiscal, and governmental impact on cities, counties, and state governments, because it increases the cost of providing government services and results the in loss of natural resource areas and prime agricultural land. Wright County has a rich history based on agricultural land uses and the preservation of agriculture must be balanced with growth. Response: Through proper long-range planning and cooperation between governmental entities, growth can be controlled to minimize its environmental, fiscal, and governmental impact on the County as a whole. Cities are best equipped to accommodate and plan for the delivery of urban services, while townships provide the structure for preserving agricultural land uses. Major growth areas should be provided for cities to allow for urban expansion and effective and efficient service delivery. Wright County should actively work to update its comprehensive plan for the entire County. This process should include input from both cities and townships. The County's Comprehensive Plan should define and differentiate between urban and rural development, restrict urban growth outside of municipal boundaries, and preserve agricultural land uses in rural areas. SERVICES PROMOTION Issue: Wright County Cities provide and house vital services, such as water/sewer, fire, library, education, public safety, economic development and job creation, medical services, parks, entertainment, commerce centers, etc., that directly relate to the quality of life in Wright County. Cities provide the necessary infrastructure to support both public and private services. Cities are also on the frontlines of maintaining the necessary setting and environment to keep these services viable for the residents of Wright County. Response: Wright County Cities should promote their importance in providing services that are available to all residents of the County, to enhance the awareness of the City's important role in the quality of life offered within Wright County. Wright County should support the role that cities have in the delivery of services in the following ways: ✓ The County should help and support cities with long-range infrastructure planning, so that investment in infrastructure is economical and timely. J The County should upgrade the County's Transportation and Land Use Plans to better support the needs of the growing areas of the County so that investments in infrastructure are far-sighted and efficient. J Cities are in a "partnership" in the delivery of public services in the County. Thus, the County should foster that partnership, by making it convenient, and economical for Cities to do business with the County; including duplicating documents, faxing information, etc., without charging exorbitant fees or requiring extraordinary measures (for example the current practice of some County Departments to require a $5.00 payment before a fax will be sent to a City), in order to maximize efficiencies, and conserve resources. J Even though financial resources are increasingly scarce at the County level, the same is true for Cities. Thus, the County should refrain from balancing budgets by transferring greater service cost or responsibility to the Cities. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic Development Promotion Issue: Wright County Cities provide an arena for economic development and job creation, commerce centers, etc., which directly relate to the quality of life in Wright County. Cities provide the necessary infrastructure to support economic development. Cities are also on the frontlines of maintaining the necessary setting and environment to attract and to keep these services viable for the residents of Wright County. Response: Wright County Cities must continue to promote their importance in providing services that are available to existing and future businesses of the County, to enhance the awareness of the City's important role in the quality of life offered within Wright County. Wright County should support the role that cities have in the delivery of services to support economic development by supporting well -planned growth to maintain the Cities' tax base and keeping taxes low. County Investment in Economic Development Issue: Wright County Cities may sometimes lack the resources or expertise that may be useful and necessary to retain existing businesses or attract new economic development. Response: Wright County should continue to put resources into its own economic development efforts and continue its role as a resource to communities and organizations. By continuing these efforts, Cities may then make better use the County's financial and technical resources to support local economic development that benefits not only Cities but also the County.
