COUNCIL MINUTES
OCTOBER 5, 1987
The regular meeting of the Albertville City Council was called to order by Mayor
Loretta Roden. Members present included Gary Schwenzfeier, Donatus Vetsch,
and Bob Braun. Don Cornelius was absent. Others present included Maureen
Andrews, Bob Miller, Ken Lindsay, Thore Meyer and Loren Kohnen.
There was a motion approving the agenda made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded
by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion carried.
There was a motion made by Bob Braun and a second by Gary Schwenzfeier
which approved the minutes of the September 21, 1987 Council meeting.
All were in favor and the motion carried.
Gary Schwenzfeier briefly updated the Council on the progress of the water
problem in St. Michael. It appears that testing of the water system was
being ordered to assure that there are not problems throughout the entire
system.
Bob Miller reviewed with the Council the lease for the rental of the land
.-. at the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The lease was for teh period of
60 months (5 years) with a graduated rent schedule.
There was some discussion regarding whether or not the City was required
to advertise the availability of land since it had been earlier in the
year. Bob Miller had reviewed the issue and determined that the City was
under no obligation to readvertise.
With no other discussion there was a motion made authorizing the Mayor
and City Administrator to enter into a five year lease agreement with Kenneth
and Harold Zimmer for the rental of the farmland at the Wastewater Treatment
Facility. The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by Bob
Braun. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The income received and bills to be paid were reviewed and approved. A
motion was made by Donatus Vetsch and seconded by Bob Braun. All were
in favor and checks 8215 through 8246 were approved.
There was a clarification on bonding for street improvements and levying
for cost. Maureen Andrews checked to see if the Street Maintenance program
was done as part of a 429 project would the City be required to extend
the tax levy over the length of the bond. In checking it appears that
the cost could be levied totally over the first years of the bond payment.
The Council voted to increase the Fireman's Relief Association retirement
payment to $25.00 per year per fireman. The motion was made by Donatus
Vetsch and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and the motion
carried. The increase is to be retroactive to January 1, 1988.
Mayor Roden next reconvened the hearing on the sign ordinance. Notice
of hearing was read and the hearing proceeded.
COUNCIL MINUTES

Bob Miller first reviewed with the Council the mayor points of ordinances.
There was discussion regarding the degree of angle that the City shoulc
allow. It was agreed that because of curve of Interstate 94. A 10o angle
would not be appropriate instead 900 was approved.
The next item discussed was Section 8, Sunc. 2 - Other Requirements. There
was some question as to whether or not the "adjacent area" language was
most appropriate. And finally it was agreed that subpoint B under the
same section should read... No advertising device shall be erected or maintained
in that part of the City which lies south of County State Aid Highway 37
from west City limits asterly to Interstate Bridge No. 202.
There were some additional minor changes made correcting section numbers
referred to in ordinance.
With no other changes or comments, Donatus Vetsch made a motion to adopt
ordinance No. 1987-3 entitled "AN ORDINANCE REGULATING ADVERTISING DEVICES
(BILLBOARDS) AND BUSINESS SIGNS AND PROVIDING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION THEREOF
which was then seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor and the motion
carried.
The Council then lifted the moratorium on advertising devices. The motion
to release the restriction was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and seconded by
Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the motion carried.
There was then a motion made to adjourn teh hearing. The motion was made
by Bob Braun and seconded by Gary Schwenzfeier. All were in favor and
the hearing was closed.
Mr. John Gries was present to request that the Council consider approving
Tax Increment Financing for a convenience store/ gas station for Pat Meyer.
The project would run about $350,000 to $400,000 for land, Buildings, tanks
etc. In addition to these costs there is $46,455.82 in assessment payments.
Mr. Gries' client is requesting tax increment for site improvements, Assessment
payment and possible land write down.
There was some discussion regarding $93,000.00 in tax increment bonds that
may still be available from an earlier project in the same district. Preliminary
discussion with Gruys, Johnson and Associates has determined that the $93,000.00
could be sued because the bond is producing enough to retire the debt.
It appears that there would be no legal or economic problems in using the
money provided that Holmes and Graven has had an opportunity to review
the preliminary information.
Other issues figuring into the request is the owner would like to get project
done in 1987, which would mean that the project would go on the 1989 Tax
Roles. It was also agreed that the City would need a preliminary opinion
on using the $93,000.00 for another project. It was pointed out that the
$39,000.00 plays a key issue in the discussion because the bonds were sold
under tax exempt statutes allowing it to be used defferently than T.I.F.
proceeds approved under current tax laws.
The Council agreed to set a public hearing on Tax Increment Financing for
November 2nd at 8:00 p.m. for Pat Meyer's Convenience Store/Gas Station
pending the outcome of Holmes and Graven legal opinion on using the $93,000.00 of
non committed money. The motion to proceed was made by Bob Braun and seconded
COUNCIL MINUTES
PAGE 3
by Donatus Vetsch. All were in favor and the hearing was set. The minutes
should reflect that Pat Meyer will be responsible for any expenses incurred
getting the Holmes and Gaven opinion or any other expenses that the City
might incur. Bacause of the scheduling conflict Mr. Gries left prior to
Pat Meyer being present with the plans for the structure. The Council
requested that they have an opportunity to review the plans before the
end of the evening.
The next item discussed by the Council was the maintenance of the school's
sewer line. Ken Lindsay and Thore Meyer also were involved with the discussion.
It was pointed out that there has been a "grease" problem in that line
for years and that the City's sewer ordinance says that pre-treatment can
be required. It was the feeling of the Ken and thore that regardless to
which line was used that pretreatment would be required. Because of the
non -accessibility of the line that runs through the industrial park it
would be best to leave the system working as it is presently functioning,
which includes the cleaning of the line on an annual basis and the use
of a de -greaser.
In order to continue the discussion on the school the Council needed to
open and continue the hearing on hte 1988 budget until after its concussion.
The hearing on the 1988 Budget was called to order and notice was read.
There was a motion made by Bob Braun and seconded by Donatus Vetsch opening
the hearing. All were in favor and the motion carried. There was then
a motion made to continue the hearing until after the discussion on the
sewer line was concluded. The motion was made by Gary Schwenzfeier and
was seconded by Bob Braun. All were in favor and the motion carried.
The Council continued the sewer line maintenance discussion. There was
the discussion regarding the possibilityfor the City requiring that the
School install a grease trap if the problem continues to exist, but that
teh option would only be used as a last resort solution.
Maureen was requested to send another letter to the School Superintendant
explaining the Cities stand on the issue. The letter should also suggest
that the school document the amount degreaser used and the frequency used
so that when the City reviews teh issue again that the School has some
records supporting their maintenance program.
No other action was taken on the issue.
the hearing on the 1988 Budget was reconvened on a motion made by Gary
Schwenzfeier and a second by Bob Braun. All were in favor and the hearing
was reopened.
Mayor Roden went through each section of the budget giving a catagory total
and asked that if there were any questions about one section that then
it could be reviewed in more detail. The following information was presented.
