COUNCIL MINUTES
APRIL I0', 1987
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order
by Mayor Loretta Roden. Members present included Gary Schwenzfeier,
Donatus Vetsch, Don Cornelius, and Bob Braun. Others present included
Maureen Adnrews, Barry Johnson, Chuck Eberhard, Gary Meyer, and Ken Lindsay.
There was a motion to approve the agenda. The motion was made by Donatus
Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were in favor.
The minutes of the March 16th regalar Council meeting were approved on
a motion made by Gary Schwenzfeier and a second made by Bob Braun. All
were in favor and the motion carried. Minutes of a special Council meeting
were approved on a motion made by Bob Braun and a second by Donatus
Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion carried.
Barry Johnson asked to be heard out of oder so that he could introduce
Mr. Chuck Eberhard. Barry informed the Council that he was leaving the
firm of Meyer-Rohlin and that Chuck would be taking over the engineering
for the City.
Chuck gave the Council some back ground on his experience and assured the
Council that he was being up to date on the projects that Barry had been
currently working on. He also informed the Council that he would only
be able to attend the first meeting of the month because he has another
Council that meets the same time as Albertville's 2nd meeting. He assured
the Council that if there was a need to have a Engineer at the meeting
that Meyer-Rohlin would have someone at the meeting. Chuck did not
stay for the remaining part of the meeting because of an eariler committment
but told the Council that he would be at the first meeting in May.
Barry told the Council that he had enjoyed wo king with the Council for the
past year and a half and that he will keep in touch.
Bob Wacker was present to inform the Council that he is building a new home
and will be moving Sue's beauty shop into the new house. He wanted to
be sure that there were no restrictions on a home business that would
complicate the building of the new house. Bob was informed that the
ordinance allowed for home business and that as long as there were no
parking problems that the Council did not see any problems.
David Vetsch, Fire Chief, was present to discuss several issues. The first
issue was a fire school that would be taking place in Bloomington. There
are 8 fire fighters who were interested in attending the class at $70.00
per person. There was a motion made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Donatus
Vetsch to send the 8 fire fighters to the Fire Fighter's training in
Bloomington at $70.00 per person (for a total of $560.00). All were in
favor.
David informed the Council that the tires on the equipment vehicle were
in real bad shape and needed to be replaced. He was informed that tires
fell under general repairs and maintenance and did not require a motion.
The Department was told to get the tires that they needed.
COUCNIL MINUTES

The next discussed by the Fire Department was the possiblity of charging
for grass fires that have been intentionally set that get out of control.
r There have been several cases that grass fires have been set this spring
without obtaining a burn permit and when the fires get out of control
the department is spending several hours fighting a fire that could have
been prevented. This problem has been compounded due to the fact that
the area is so dry. No action was taken on this discussion until the
City Attorney could get to the meeting.
The last issue discussed was the need to replace one pager that had been
lost. It was decided that the party who lost the page should look into
seeing if it would be covered under their homeowner's insurance but in
the mean time the city should replace it. A motion was made by Don Cornelius
and a second by Donatus Vetsch to replace the pager and if home owner's
insurance covered the replacement cost of the missing pager the the Fire-
man replace amount covered by the insurance policy. All were in favor
and the motion carried.
A public hearing was called to oder for Barthel Construction. LeRoy Berning
was present to make the presentation to the Council regarding a pre-
liminary plat for Barthel Manor 2nd Addition. There was some discussion
relating toeasement locations for future water line between the cal -de -sac
and Barthel Indsutrial Park. Meyer-Rohlin said that they would look at
the possible alternatives before the final plat is drawn up and the feasibility
repost is completed.
Other items discussed by the Council included looking at extending Barthel
Industrial Drive to help take some of the traffic off 51 Street, how
many lots wound be opened up and what time of time frames was being
looked at for getting the street construciton under way.
Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Becker were present to offer their opinion on the
development because their property abutts the west property line of the
addition. Mr. Becker stated to the Council that they can not affor to
have the improvements made which would result from the development because
they are being taxed to death. He aslo asked the Council "how much do you
what this town to grow." A memeber of the Council told he that it is
progress and you can not stop it.
Most of the questions brought forth by the Be ckers related to assessment
for the project. He was informed that he would be notified of the future
hearings relating to the utility and street improvements, the notice
of bond sale, and the assessment hearing as required by law.
The final issue brought up was the question of allowing their hobby farm
to remain in the City limits. They informed the Council that they had been
annexed into the City without being asked and that they felt that they
were where they didn't want to be. A question was addressed to the City
Attorney regarding their farm and the development that is currently
taking place in Barthel's Additions. Gary informed they that the question
of keeping an hobby farm in the city limites depends on common sense.

�.
Things that could influenced by a public nuisances, grandfather clause,
and the use of pbulic facilities, but the hobby farm is a different
discussion which is not directly related to the preliminary plat approval.
The discussion of the preliminary plat approval was not completed at
8:00 p.m. at which time another public hearing was scheduled. There was
a motion made by Bob Braun and a second made by Gary Schwenzfeier to
continue the Barthel hearing at the completion of the 8:00 hearing. All
were in favor and the motion carried.
The public hearing for Ron Andrea was opened by Mayor Roden. Mr. Ron Andrea
was present to request that he be allowed to subdivide on lot off from
his homestead property. The new lot met all the requirement of a residential
lot. The Council was informed that it was the Planning Commissions re-
commendation that Mr. Andrea be allowed to subdivide the lot.
Upon hearing the Planning Commission's recommendation there was a motion
made by Don Cornelius and a second by Bob Braun to approve the subdivision.
All were in favor and the motion was carried. (The records should not�that
Mr. Andrea was the only one present for the hearing.)
A motion was then made to close the public hearing. The motion was made
by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Don Cornelius. All were in favor
and teh public hearing was closed.
There was then a motion made to reopen the public hearing on the Barthel
preliminary plat. The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded
by Don Cornelius. All were in favor and the hearing was reopened.
Mayor Roden called for any additional comments or questions relating to
the preliminary plat, hearing none called for a motion to approve the
preliminary plat. Before the motion was made Gary Meyer informed the
Council that before the final plat could be approved that he would
have to conduct a title opinion on the property.
The the understanding that the title opinion had not been completed but
would be before the final plat approval there was a motion made by Gary
Schwenzfeier and a second by Donatus Vetsch to approve the preliminary
plat4 All were in favor and the motion carried.

There was then a motion made to close the public hearing. The motion was
made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor and
he motion was carried.
Steve Johnson, a representative of Triad Construction was present to request
a public hearing for a variance on the side yard setback requirement for
Lot 6 Block 6 Beaudry's 2nd Addition. He informed the Council that the
house planned to go on this lot didn't allow for enough side yard set back.
In reviewing the plan it was decided that it would be better to request
the variance on the inside lot line insead of the corner because of
visibility probems on the corner.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded Bob Braun to set a public
hearing for Triad Construction provided that the house be shifted to
the lot side leaving the required setback on the corner side. All were
in favor and the hearing was set for May 18th at 7:30 p.m.
COUNCIL MINUTES
PAGE 4
The Council was updated on the Joint Power's special meeting at which
members of the Joint Power's Board were informed that the wourk was
going to proceed on the well project. No formal Council action was needed
at this time.
The income recieved and bills to be paid were reviewed. There was some
discussion regarding the bills for the Don Berning Party. The bills
for the party came in about $67.00 more than what was recieved from the
tickets sold for the dinner. In addition the only outstanding bill was
for the film and film developing. Gary believes that this bill will
only run about $20.00.
There were two different motion made the first one was for the approval
of the regular bills and the second on was for the the extra money spent
for the party. The motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by
Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion carried. The second
motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Don Cornlius to approve
the additional $67.00 plus $20.00 for film development. All were in
favor and the motion carried.
There was a special thanks to Gary Meyer, Maureen Andrews, Donatus Vetsch,
Ken Lindsay and the Firemen'for helping with the party.
The next item that was discussed was the Development Corp. request that the
City of Albertville become a member of the Development Corp. It was
decided that instead of having the City a member that the City would
pay for the membership of the Administrator provided that the membership
can be transfer to any future administrator. In addition, it was
agreed that the adminstrator would then attend the meeting of the board
as the City's representative.
A motion was made by Don Cornelius and seconded by Donatus Vetsch to
pay $25.00 for the administrator's membership to the Development Corp.
all were in favor and tekh motion carried.
There was a motion made by Gary Schwenzfeier and a second made by Bob Braun
to approve all the On and Off Sale liquor License for the bars and liquor
store provided that the City recieve proof of insurance and bond and
that the payment of fees are made. All were in favor and the motin carried.
A motin was made by Donatus Vetsch and a second by Bob Braun to set the
Board of Review for May 5th at 7:00 p.m. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
Gary Meyer reviewed with the Council the land rental lease for the farm
land out at the Wastewater Treatment Facility which required the signature
of the Mayor and the Administrator/Clerk. Gary brought to the attention of
the Council the Zimmer Brothers had already been working out in the field
and may have gotten to close to one of the control structures. If
any demage was done as the result it is to be noted that the Zimmers would
be responsible for the cost of repair. Meyer-Rohlin would be looking to
into the problem and would be reporting back to the Council. It was
then suggested that Ken place steel fence posts along the boundary lines.
With these suggestions a motion was made to approve the lease agreement.
The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Don Cornelius.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
It had just been brought to -the City s a en ion that some -o-Lne lano

Gary Meyer suggested to the Council that they react to the T.I.F. Bill
.-. S.F. 1135 which gives the County veto power over a T.I.F. project. The
members of the Council stated that they would contact the local represent-
atives and suggested that Maureen send a letter on the behalf of the
Council. The other bill related to local filing proceedures for local
elections. The bill would take away the control on the local level and
would also make the Clerk liable for accepting misrepresented fact about
the canidate. The members agreed to contact the necessary people on this
bill as well.
Gary was then updated on the request of the Fire Department regarding
charging for grass fires that are set. It was decided that the City
could creat an ordinance that assesses for grass fires that are started
without proper permit. It was suggested that until the ordinance is
enacted that a notice should be put in the paper cautioning against starting
fires when it is as dry as it is.
A motion was made to assess for fires started without a permit being obtained.
The motion was made by Gary Scgwenzfeier and seconded by Bob Braun. All
were in favor and the motin carried.
The next item discussed was getting help through the MEED program. It
was decided to try to get one maintenance and clerical person for the
period of 6 months. A motion to this extent was made by Gary Schwenzfeier
adn seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor and the motion was
carried.
The discussion on equipment for the Wastewater Treatment Facility which
had been tabled at the last regular meeting of the Council was discussed
again.
The Engineers stated that they are not recommending the purchase of a duck
obat or trolling motor at this time because all it does is gets the operator
out into the ponds which is not the pupose of the system designed.
They further believe that the city slould wait to see what happens this
year with regards to weed control. They feel that there will be little
or no weed actions now that the water level in the ponds have been increased,
but if there is a problem that there will still be time to get the
equipment needed to correct the problem (wgich could mean renting the
equipment). There were some question regarding the moss that appears tp
still be growing in one of the cells. Barry pointed out that the moss
does not appear to have a root structure so therefore the engineers do
no feel that the moss will not cause any demage to the liner system.
Gary Schwenzfeier suggested that the City follow the recommendation of the
Engineer and wait on the equipment.
There was also some discussion of getting a weed/bush cutter that could
be used out at the ponds and aroung the city. After some discussion
it was suggested that Ken wait on purchasing the machine until he looks
into purchasing industrial strenght equipment.
The Council recieved a copy of Ken's March Comp Time calendar. No action
was taken on it.
Barry discussed with the Council the road improvement out at Hackenmeuller's.
It had just been brought to the City's attention that some of the land

Re: 1986 Street Maintenance
Patching E-8601-E
Members of the Council:
The contractor, Anchor Asphalt, has requested by
telephone that the retainage of $816.75 on the above
referenced project be reduced to $0.00. We recommend
that the retainage should not be released until the
road restrictions are lifted by the county so proper
inspection can occur and proper corrections can be made,
if necessary.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
MEYER-ROHLIN, INC.

Laurie Fiori Hacking, Legislative Represe ative
RE: THREAT OF LGA CUTS & SALES TAX ON CITY PURCHASES
The end of the 1987 legislative session is fast approaching.
Legislators will be making key decisions very soon on local government
aid (LGA) funding, tax reform, and other financial issues important to
cities. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CRITICAL TIME FOR YOU TO CONTACT YOUR
LEGISLATORS about two issues which will have a profound impact on your
city's budget and revenues:
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AID
There is increasing talk at the Legislature about a 10% to 20%
ACROSS-THE-BOARD CUT IN LGA. Although no such proposal has been
formally introduced in bill form, an LGA cut could surface very
quickly at the end of the session. This is not a new suggestion. The
Governor has already proposed a $5 million cut (1.5% reduction) in
current LGA payments for this year. This cut would reduce the July
and December LGA payments to your city. For 1988, the Governor has
proposed total elimination of LGA. These monies would be diverted to
a new Education Credit used soley for school district property tax
relief.
The threat of a major cutback in LGA is real. The state's budget
situation is grim; we are facing at least an $800 million funding
shortfall. Although the March 19th revenue forecast projects an
additional $77 million in new revenue, the Governor has already
obligated that new money to higher education, the renter's credit, and
the farm loan interest buy -down program.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU CONTACT YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS NOW, BEFORE
THE DECISION ON LGA IS MADE. Tell your legislators specifically what
a 10% to 20% cut in LGA will mean to your city:
* how much will your city mill rate have to increase;
* how much will the property tax bill for the average
homeowner in your city go up; and
* what city services would have to be cut.

In addition to contacting your legislators, call your local newspaper
with information about how the Legislature may consider a large cut in
LGA and that such a cut will mean higher local property taxes. Your
local newspaper will be interested in this information. If you have
difficulty making these estimates, call Laurie Fiori Hacking or Sarah
Hackett at the League (612-227-5600) and they will assist you.
SALES TAX ON CITY PURCHASES
The Governor's tax bill (H.F. 525 / S.F. 547) recommends that the 6%
sales tax and 6% motor vehicle excise tax be levied on purchases ma416___,
--all-lo-eal- give-rnment.a, includi-g cities. The Departmen-t-c&-Reve-nue
has estimated that this 6% tax would increase city costs by
approximately $15 million per year. According to a recent survey of
cities conducted by the League, this sales tax proposal is likely
to cost cities $30 million per year -- twice as much as the Department
of Revenue has estimated.
The League has testified against this proposal, citing the increased
local property taxes is likely to cause. But your legislators need to
hear from you about how much the sales tax proposal will cost your
city. Remember, the 6% tax would be applied to such large purchases
as squad cars, fire trucks, snow plows, office supplies, utility
bills, road building and construction materials. -
HOW THE LEGISLATURE RESOLVES THE STATE'S LARGE BUDGET SHORTFALL COULD
HAVE PROFOUND AND LONG-LASTING EFFECTS ON YOUR CITY. THE FINANCIAL
STAKES ARE HIGH. THE LEAGUE WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THIS MESSAGE TO
THE LEGISLATURE, BUT LEGISLATORS MUST HEAR PERSONALLY FROM THEIR OWN
LOCAL CITY OFFICIALS TO BE CONVINCED THAT LGA FUNDING CUTS AS WELL AS
THE SALES TAX PROPOSAL WILL INCREASE PROPERTY TAX BURDENS FOR THEIR
LOCAL CONSTITUENTS.
POWERS AND DliTIES OF LOCAL BOARD OF REVIEW
1. The clerk shall give published and posted notice of board of review
ten days prior to such meeting. The board of review shall complete
its work within 20 days of convening date as specified in the notice
of the clerk. Any action taken after that adjournment date would be
invalid.
A majority of the members may act at such meeting, and adjourn from
day to day until they finish the hearing of all cases presented. The
assessor shall attend, and take part in the proceedings, but shall not
vote.
2. In case any property, real or personal, shall have been omitted, the
board shall place it upon the assessment list with its market value.
No assessment of the property of any person shall be raised until that
person has been duly notified of the intent of the board to do so. On
application of any person feeling aggrieved, the board shall review the
assessment and correct it as shall appear just. If a person feeling
aggrieved by an assessment fails to apply for review at the local board,
he may not appear at the county board of equalization or Commissioner
of Revenue to contest the valuation. Although the local board of
review has the authority to increase or reduce assessments, the total
adjustments must not reduce the aggregate assessment by more than
one percent.
3. The board does not have the authority to reopen former assessments on
which taxes are due and payable. The board considers only the
assessments that are in process in the current year. Occasionally a
taxpayer may appear with a tax statement and protest the taxes or
assessment of the previous year. The board should explain tactfully
that it has no authority to consider such matters.
4. The 1987, valuation card has a message again this year:
NOTE: Appointments requested for 1987 Board of Review.
For appointment call 682-3900 or Metro 339-6881.
There were many reasons for trying this approach to better organize
the board of review for its intended purpose. People come to talk
about unrelated matters such as: condition of roads, snowplowing,
water run-off, objectionable neighborhood conditions, etc. Tax state-
ments always seem to pop up at boards of review. If there are mechanical
errors or explanation of the tax computation, this can be taken care of
beforehand. If a person has a question on the new valuation, it will
give the assessor a chance to review the problem and probably satisfy
the taxpayer. If not, they would be put on the agenda for the board
of review. The assessor could better present to the board facts
justifying the assessment instead of taking considerable time paging
through books for an unprepared presentation.
5. Regardless with appointment or not every person appearing before the
board will be heard. Every courtesy shall be extended and a reasonable
answer will be given for any such problem someone may have.
