1). Partial Release of Albertville Crossing and Park View Developer’s Agreements
Couri reported that Hemple Companies has entered into an agreement to purchase
Coborn’s and the surrounding buildings located on the southeast corner of CSAH 19
and 57th Street NE. They are currently involved in their due diligence process and
have requested partial release of the three developer’s agreement that apply to one-
time obligations that have already been met.
Couri stated they have generally released those items, but retain the permanent
obligations such as zoning, etc. that will stay with the property. Couri reviewed the
areas of the three developer’s agreements that would be partially released.
Vetsch inquired about the installation of the traffic signal at CSAH 19/57th Street NE
and if that applied to any future improvements. Couri replied that the installation of
the light was fully performed and any future improvements or upgrades could be
special assessed. He stated the provision would not apply to upgrades.

Regular Meeting of November 17, 2014

Releasing Selected Albertville Crossing Properties from Portions of Developer’s
Agreements. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays:
None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
2). Fire Chief Job Description
Vetsch inquired if the proposed job description was designed to fit more than one
individual. Couri replied that knowledge and skills listed in the description are
representative of the knowledge and skills needed and not necessarily mandatory;
however, language could be included to state that those knowledge and skills are
desirable and it may prove difficult to find someone with all those skills. Vetsch
clarified that he wanted to make sure that more than one individual could qualify
under the job description, and not solely Mills. Mills stated that a committee was
created from the Fire membership and that Committee felt the qualifications in the
job description were needed. Mills also stated that he believed there were members
within the Department that would qualify. Vetsch stated that he just wanted to make
sure there were no misconceptions in the community.
J. Planning/Zoning
1). Mobile Food Unit (MFU) Hours of Operation (pgs 92-95)
Brixius reported that staff has received inquiries to extend the hours of operation for
MFU’s during the Black Friday sales events Thanksgiving weekend. This
suspension of the operating hours would apply to all retail events within the City, so
long as the MFU’s do not cause a nuisance or land use issue.
Olson inquired if the ordinance should be changed to allow for this annually. Brixius
stated that this is not a zoning issue, so they can always do so in the future but
recommends allowing it this year as a test trial.
Motioned Olson, seconded by Sorensen, to adopt Resolution No. 2014-040 entitled
A Resolution Suspending the Hours of Operation for Mobile Food Units (MFUs)
for November 27-30, 2014 to coincide with Black Friday retail events in the City of
Albertville. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays:
None. Absent: None. MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
K. Finance
1). Preliminary 2015 Budget Review (pgs 96-98)
Nafstad reported that the Council adopted the preliminary budget and levy in
September and at that time, Council directed staff to bring the budget back to the
Council prior to final approval to see if they had changes to the budget and levy prior
to final approval.
Sorensen stated he received his proposed tax statement over the weekend and
inquired if the City had received any calls. Clerk Olson reported she had one and
Agenda Page 6
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Regular Meeting of November 17, 2014
Hendrickson reported she had two, but also involved house value which can be
addressed in April.
Hendrickson added that the law enforcement increase could be limited to a four hour
increase and could always be reduced to current levels if the added enforcement was
determined to be unnecessary.
Council had no changes to the proposed budget and levy.
L. City Clerk - None
M. Public Works / Engineering - None
N. Building - None
O. Administration
1). Extension of Fire Chief Mill’s Term (pgs 99)
Nafstad reported the Fire Committee recommended that Chief Mills’ term be
extended until the hire of the full-time fire chief and then to appoint Mills as
Assistant Chief for the remainder of that term to expire December 31, 2016.
Sorensen stated it made sense to have Mills serve as the assistant Chief to the new
position.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Hendrickson, to extend Fire Chief Mills’ term
as Chief until the full-time chief position has been filled and to appoint Mill’s as
Assistant Chief upon the hire of the full-time chief, for the remainder of the two
year term beginning January 1, 2015 and expiring December 31, 2016. Ayes:
Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None. Absent: None.
MOTION DECLARED CARRIED.
2). City Administrator’s Update (pgs 100-109)
Nafstad reported they are working on Planning Commission appointments and
Brixius is checking with current Commission on whether they wish to continue to
serve. Nafstad stated that there are currently five applicants.
Council inquired about other scenarios that would allow the Commission to have a
quorum if not all members arrived for the meeting, such as an alternate. Brixius
stated that he believed this has been addressed with the ordinance change granting
the Council liaison to the Commission voting powers. Both Sorensen and Olson
would prefer to see an alternate rather than the Council liaison have voting powers.
Brixius asked to communicate with the current Commissioners on their attendance
and ability to commit to the coming year’s meetings. Couri suggested amending the
Code to incorporate an attendance policy for the Commission.
Agenda Page 7
City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5
Regular Meeting of November 17, 2014
Nafstad reported the City has been able to give the Hanover Food Shelf a check for
over $300.00 from the savings the residents incur with the electronic billing and
payment options that they dedicate to go to the food shelf.
Nafstad stated staff is currently working with FEMA and Homeland Security to
identify areas where Albertville may be able to qualify for funding through the
Public Assistance Program or Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.
Vetsch inquired if the 54th Street NE/Barthel Industrial Drive NE project could have
been started earlier. Nafstad reported the project start was pushed back anticipating
that fall would be dryer than that summer months. He also stated the project
encountered delays due to a few unforeseen circumstances such as a utility conflict
with an Xcel line, a statewide cement short, and the early snowfall. Vetsch would
like to see construction projects begin immediately after Albertville Friendly City
Days. Hendrickson stated the only complaint she had received was that the mail was
not delivered for several days due to construction. Wagner thought the project went
well.

November 26, 2014
SUBJECT: CONSENT - CITY CLERK - 2015 CITY OBSERVED HOLIDAYS
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
passing the following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2014-041 entitled a Resolution Establishing the 2015
City Observed Holidays.
BACKGROUND: Each year a resolution is required establishing holidays that are observed by
the City for the upcoming year.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The Albertville City Offices follow the general
practice of observing set U.S. legal holidays with the exception of Columbus Day, which has
previously been taken as a floating holiday for the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. Because City
Hall has switched to a four day work week, the holiday hours from the Friday after Thanksgiving
are evened out over the remaining holidays to provide 10 hours of vacation for those 10 hour days
(see attached resolution and chart). Last year, the City Council allowed City Hall to close at 12:00
noon on Christmas Eve. City employees would be allowed to use vacation or comp-time for the
remaining hours and Public Works employees are allotted five hours of holiday pay for Christmas
Eve.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There are no financial considerations as it relates to
approval of the Resolution setting the 2015 City Observed Holidays.
LEGAL ISSUES: The City Council has the authority to set the annual holiday schedule.

Meeting Date: December 1, 2014
November 26, 2014
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS – STREETS AND PARKS UPDATE
STREETS:
The first snow of the season turned out to be challenging, but Public Works was ready. Plowing
during the daytime hours has proven difficult. Plowing began on Monday at 8:00 a.m. Round
one was completed on the entire City by noon and then we plowed all of the routes curb to curb
finishing at 7:00 p.m. Snow continued to fall and with the forecast of more snow overnight,
Public Works was back out at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday to do clean up.
A good amount of street patching was completed this fall.
The 2014 sidewalk inspection has been completed. I contracted grinding and mud jacking to
repair trip hazards; this saves money over replacement. 295 feet of sidewalk was replaced on the
east side of Main Avenue NE, three sections were replaced in the Towne Lakes addition, and two
sections along 50th Street NE.
New street name and stop signs were purchased for the Main Avenue NE corridor. When
weather and time allows, they will be installed.
PARKS:
Several broken hockey rink boards have been replaced and staff has started to flood the ice rinks.
With the changing weather conditions, there is not a scheduled date to open the rinks as of yet,
but we are ahead of schedule.
All of the parks and building grounds have been aerated and the soccer and ball fields have been
fertilized.
Aglime was added to the ball fields that needed it and Public Works edged the infield on field
one.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
M:\Public Data\City Council\Council Packet information\2014\120114\2014-12-01 Final Levy and Budget for 2015.doc
Meeting Date: December 1, 2014
November 25, 2014
SUBJECT: FINANCE DEPARTMENT – 2015 PROPERTY TAX LEVY AND FINAL BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Resolution No. 2014-043 entitled a Resolution Adopting Property Tax
Levy Collectible in 2015; and, approve Resolution No. 2014-044 entitled a Resolution Adopting
the 2015 Final Budget.
BACKGROUND: On September 15, 2014, the City Council certified a preliminary levy of
$3,497,147 to Wright County. Based on the preliminary levy, Wright County has prepared and
mailed projected tax statements to all residents. On Monday, December 1, the City Council will
host a public hearing, known as a Truth-In-Taxation, for the Council to take public comments on
the proposed budget and levy. Following public comments, the City Council at a regularly
convened meeting may approve or make adjustments to the final levy, which is then certified to
Wright County for taxes payable in 2015. Coinciding with the adoption of the City’s Levy, the
City Council officially adopts a 2015 budget detailing projected revenue and expenses.
KEY ISSUES:
• The public Truth-in-Taxation hearing was held prior to Council approvals.
• The proposed budget and levy represents a total levy increase of 5.97%.
• The debt service budget has increased by $47,826 and the general fund operations levy
has increased by $149,197.
• The proposed budget includes anticipated LGA funding (estimated $87,000) which will
assist with infrastructure expenses.
• The final levy is due to the County Auditor no later than end of business day December
15, 2014.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The Council reviews and approves all budgets and tax levies.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: In reviewing the projected 2015 budget, staff anticipates
maintaining the Office of the State Auditors recommendation of 40% of the budget in designated
funds for general reserve. It is recommended that the City Council continue to increase the
General Funds reserve in the future.

Memo
To: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator; Albertville City Council
From: Mike Couri
Date: November 25, 2014
Re: Attorney Report
Below is an update of the projects our office has been working on for the City.
• I-94 Ramp Easement. The State is asking the City to obtain I-94 ramp easement
from Albertville Marketplace using a revised legal description as the State wants
clearer language in the deed from the City to the State for the ramp easement. The
easement area remains unchanged—the State simply wants its specific language
used in the easement document. Adam and I will be working with Albertville
Marketplace to obtain the proper language.
• Prairie Run. We are still waiting for Fieldstone to prepare the changes to the
Association documents. In the meantime, Fieldstone would like to close on one of
the less valuable lots (instead of three lots which the purchase agreement requires)
so that it can get a home started in time for it to be completed by the spring Parade
of Homes. Because they are proposing to buy one of the harder lots to sell, Staff
recommends allowing Fieldstone to purchase this single lot so it can get started on
its model home. We will continue to work with Fieldstone to get the Association
documents changed.
• Albertville Crossing. The Albertville Crossing closing is scheduled for the first
week in December. I am working on the formal releases of the developer’s
agreement provisions that were approved at the last meeting.
Agenda Page 22
Page 2 of 2
• Charter Cable. I have still not heard back from Charter Cable regarding
proposed changes to their service to City buildings that runs counter to our
franchise agreement. Charter has provided the City with cable boxes, but we will
likely have a problem with these next fall unless we get this issue straightened out
in the meantime. I will continue to periodically call Charter until I reach someone
or get a return call.
• Unfair Campaign Practices Complaint. A complaint was filed with the Office
of Administrative Hearings on October 30, 2014 by Brad Cedergren against
Mayor Hendrickson alleging a violation of Minnesota’s campaign laws involving
postings on the STMA Youth Hockey Association’s (STMA YHA) Facebook
page. The issue appears to have arisen from a posting on STMA YHA’s Facebook
that indicated that Mayor Hendrickson was seeking reelection and was a strong
supporter of the expansion of a second ice rink. Mayor Hendrickson then
acknowledged the post. Mr. Cedergren alleged that this exchange was a violation
of STMA YHA’s charitable organization and a violation of Minnesota law. The
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) dismissed the complaint for failure to state a
claim.
This issue has resulted in many questions regarding the impact of this decision on
the City and STMA YHA. From my read of the decision, there appears to be no
impact on the City nor on the STMA YHA. The ALJ found no violation of law on
either Mayor Hendrickson’s part nor on STMA YHA’s part. I see nothing in this
decision which in any way implicates the City. Some have questioned whether the
posting jeopardizes STMA YHA’s tax exempt status. I do not believe it would,
but that is a matter better taken up between STMA YHA and their attorney, if they
feel the need to consult one. In my opinion, nothing more needs to be done by
anyone at this point. I have attached a copy of the ALJ’s decision in the event
some of the Council members have not yet read it.

v.
Jillian Hendrickson
ORDER FINDING NO
PRIMA FACIE VIOLATION
AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT
TO: Parties
On October 30, 2014, Brad Cedergren, a candidate for election to the office of
Mayor of Albertville, Minnesota, filed a campaign complaint with the Office of
Administrative Hearings.
The complaint alleges that Jillian Hendrickson, the incumbent Mayor of
Albertville, and a candidate for re-election, violated Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 17.
Specifically, the Complaint asserts that Ms. Hendrickson violated the law by asking for
the votes of members of the STMA Youth Hockey Association in a posting to the
Association’s Facebook webpage.1
The Chief Administrative Law Judge assigned this matter to the undersigned
Administrative Law Judge pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 211B.33.
After reviewing the Complaint and the attached documents, and for the reasons
set out in the attached Memorandum, the Administrative Law Judge finds that the
Complaint fails to set forth a prima facie violation of the Fair Campaign Practices Act.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The Complaint filed by Brad Cedergren against Jillian Hendrickson is
DISMISSED.
Dated: November 3, 2014

NOTICE
Under Minn. Stat. § 211B.36, subd. 5, this Order is the final decision in this
matter. A party aggrieved by this decision may seek judicial review as provided in Minn.
Stat. §§ 14.63 to 14.69.
MEMORANDUM
Factual Background
The complaint filed by Mr. Cedergren makes the following assertions:
On October 8, 2014, the STMA Youth Hockey Association, a non-
profit 509(a)(2) corporation, posted on their Facebook page the following
sentence: “Jillian Hendrickson, current Mayor of Albertville is seeking re-
election. She is a strong hockey proponent and supporter of an expansion
for a second rink.”
Jill Hendrickson acknowledged this post, which is a violation of a
charitable organization, on October 15 and asked for peopIe’s vote ….
As detailed in the attachments accompanying the complaint, Ms. Hendrickson made the
following subsidiary comment to the posting on the Association’s Facebook page:
We are going out now each night this week from 5:30-dark and collecting
food for the local food shelf. If anyone would like to help please give me a
call … I definitely could use some additional hands! I am happy also to talk
with anyone who has city questions or concerns. I definitely want to
respectfully earn your reelection vote on Nov. 4th.
Let me know how I can help you all as well!!
…
Please also, visit my [Facebook] site (Chris hyperlinked it above) and
invite your friends in town to do so as well. I have been very active in
supporting business development in our town as well as doing what’s best
for residents. I enjoy serving the Albertvílle community hope to continue
on for two more years. Happy MEA week!
To assert a prima facie violation of the Fair Campaign Practices Act, the
Complainant must allege sufficient facts to show that a violation of law has occurred.2
2 Minn. Stat. § 211B.32, subd. 3.
Agenda Page 25
[35208/1] 3
To set forth a prima facie case that entitles a party to a later hearing, the party
must either submit evidence or allege facts that, if accepted as true, would be sufficient
to prove a violation of Minnesota Statutes chapters 211A or 211B.3
For purposes of a prima facie determination, the tribunal must accept the facts
that are alleged in the Complaint as true without further proof.4
A complaint must be dismissed if it does not include evidence or allege facts that,
if they were accepted as true, would prove a violation of Minnesota Statutes
chapters 211A or 211B.5
Corporate Contributions - Safe Harbor Provision (Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 17)
Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 17 provides that:
It is not a violation of this section for a nonprofit corporation to
provide administrative assistance to one political committee or political
fund that is associated with the nonprofit corporation and registered with
the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board under section 10A.14.
Such assistance must be limited to accounting, clerical or legal services,
bank charges, utilities, office space, and supplies. The records of the
political committee or political fund may be kept on the premises of the
nonprofit corporation.
The administrative assistance provided by the nonprofit corporation
to the political committee or political fund is limited annually to the lesser
of $5,000 or 7-1/2 percent of the expenditures of the political committee or
political fund.
This law permits nonprofit corporations to provide some administrative support to
political action committees and political funds that are affiliated with the corporation,
without violating Minnesota’s ban on corporate political contributions. This safe harbor
provision permits entities such as “Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota Action Fund” and the “Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Leadership Fund,” for
example, to receive modest amounts of administrative support from their corporate
affiliates (Planned Parenthood and the Minnesota Chamber, respectively) without
violating the state’s campaign finance laws.
This is not our case here. It is not alleged that the STMA Youth Hockey
Association has an affiliated political committee or political fund, nor does
Mr. Cedergren maintain that his opponent, Ms. Hendrickson, provided too much
administrative assistance to such a fund.
3 Barry, et al., v. St. Anthony-New Brighton Independent School District, et al., 781 N.W.2d 898, 902
(Minn. App. 2010). 4 Id. 5 Id.
Agenda Page 26
[35208/1] 4
More problematic still, the basis for Mr. Cedergren’s claim that Ms. Hendrickson
may not lawfully acknowledge complimentary Facebook posts about her is not made
clear in the filings. The cited statute, Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 17, does not bar
such acknowledgements.
Even if the complaint could be read to challenge the Hockey Association’s
assertion that Ms. Hendrickson is “a strong hockey proponent and supporter of an
expansion for a second rink,” the complaint still fails to state a proper claim for relief.
First, and significantly, Mr. Cedergren does not name the Hockey Association as
a party-respondent. The complaint names Ms. Hendrickson as the Respondent. A
complaint against Ms. Hendrickson does not provide the Hockey Association with fair
notice of any claims for relief that Mr. Cedergren may have against it.6
Further, in 2010, the United States Supreme Court held that the First
Amendment prohibited governmental entities from restricting independent political
expenditures by nonprofit corporations.7 Later that same year, the Minnesota
Legislature modified state law so as to permit expenditures by corporations in support of
particular candidates so long as the expenditure was “made without the express or
implied consent, authorization, or cooperation of, and not in co ncert with or at the
request or suggestion of, any candidate or any candidate's principal campaign
committee or agent.”8
There is no suggestion in the complaint materials that the statement regarding
Ms. Hendrickson, and support for local hockey programming, was coordinated between
the candidate and the nonprofit corporation. The only claim is that the statement was
acknowledged by Ms. Hendrickson after it was made.
Because Mr. Cedergren does not allege any facts that could lead the tribunal to
conclude that Ms. Hendrickson violated Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, the complaint is
dismissed in its entirety.

City Administrator’s Update
November 26, 2014
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Planning Commission Vacancy: Staff is working to coordinate a time for the Personnel
Committee to interview the four applicants and provide a recommendation to the Council.
Board and Commission Appointments for 2015: Council will need to appoint committee
members to the City’s various boards and advisory groups, preferably at the first meeting in
2015. New in 2015 will be WCAT (Trailblazer Transit) and Yellow Ribbon appointments. For
your reference, attached is the resolution for this past year’s appointments.
Trailblazer Transit: On November 18, the Wright County Area Transportation (WCAT)
partnership met to review service reports, 2015 funding, and the status of the Joint Powers
Agreement between WCAT and Sibley and McLeod Counties. In general, service
implementation in participating Wright County cities is going very well. Since start-up of service
in July, monthly ridership has continued to climb. In October approximately 5,200 rider were
provided in Wright County. The goal is to have 7 buses dedicated to WCAT by the end of 2014
and 14 buses in Wright County by the end of 2015. The 14 buses are included in the approved
MnDOT budget for 2015. Albertville’s cost for service in 2014 will be nominal, if any, and the
2015 local projection for WCAT is approximately $19,000. The 12 WCAT cities will split this cost
proportionately to each cities ridership. WCAT also approved the Joint Powers agreement with
some last minute changes requested by McLeod County pertaining to the number of voting
members. The Trailblazer Board will consist of 2 WCAT members, 2 Sibley members, 3 McLeod
members, with cost share to be 25%, 25% and 50%, respectively. Please let me know if you
would like a copy of the Joint Powers agreement or materials from the meeting.
Fire Department: The advertisement for the full time chief position will go out next week with
applications due back on January 5. Interviews will likely begin mid- to late-January.
Annual Evaluations: Department Heads will begin the process of completing annual employee
reviews. I will present an employee performance summary to the Personnel Committee
towards the end of the year. The planner, attorney, and administrator reviews are scheduled
to occur immediately following the December 15th regular meeting.
ENGINEERING/PUBLIC WORKS
FEMA and Homeland Security Funding: Staff is working with FEMA and HSME to determine if
Albertville is eligible for funding through the Public Assistance Program and/or Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program.
