1. Special Event Permit – BJs Sport Tavern Music Event
City Clerk Luedke presented the staff report regarding the special event and temporary outdoor
music permit applications submitted by BJ’s Sport Tavern. She noted that the proposed music
would be held in the restaurant’s fenced back outdoor area. She stated that, although outdoor music
at this location would typically not be permitted due to its proximity to nearby residential
properties, the City Code allows an exemption when the activity was part of a recognized
community festival and has received Council approval.
MOTION made by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Cocking to approve
Special Event Permit including a Temporary Outdoor Music Permit for BJ’s Sport Tavern located at
5788 Main Avenue NE for their Special Event on June 12 and June 13, 2026, during Albertville
Friendly City Days. Ayes: Cocking, Hendrickson, Olson, and Zagorski. Nays: None. Absent:
Hayden. The motion carried.
2. Special Event Permit – Neighbors Eatery and Salon Community Festival
Permit and Music Event
City Clerk Luedke presented the staff report regarding the special event, community festival, and
temporary outdoor music permit applications submitted by Neighbors Eatery and Saloon, noting the
request included expansion of its patio into the parking lot and to host live music from 9 pm to 1 am
on Friday and Saturday night. She noted previously the applicant had requested a mechanical bull.
Clerk Luedke explained Minnesota statute allows on-sale liquor license holders to serve alcohol off-
premises during a recognized community festival and that, while outdoor music at this location
would normally be prohibited due to proximity to nearby residential properties, the City Code
permits an exemption for recognized community festivals with City Council approval. She
responded to questions from Council.
The Council discussion focused on the temporary outdoor music permit, including prior resident
complaints about loud music, past instances of music exceeding permitted hours, and concerns
about the request to have live music until 1 am, as well as a reasonable end time for the live music.
The Council reached consensus to approve the special event and community festival permits, deny
the temporary outdoor music permit, and offer to hold a special meeting if the applicant proposes a
solution to address the music concerns.
City Attorney Couri answered questions from Council regarding special meeting requirements and
potential consequences of noncompliance with applicable regulations by the applicant.
MOTION made by Mayor Hendrickson, seconded by Councilmember Cocking to approve Special
Event Permit including a Community Festival Permit but denied the Temporary Outdoor Music
Permit for Neighbors Eatery and Saloon located at 5772 Main Avenue NE for Thursday, June 11
through Sunday, June 14, 2026, during Albertville Friendly City Days. Ayes: Cocking,

August 17, 2026, and asked whether the Council preferred to hold the workshops before or after the
regular Council meeting. She noted the workshops have traditionally begun at 6:15 pm.

workshops for July 20, August 3 and August 17, 2026, at 6:15 pm to discuss the 2027 preliminary

F. Planning and Zoning
1. Interim Use Permit at 11011 61st Street NE for PID 101-078-001010
Planning Consultant Faulkner presented the staff report and background information regarding the
proposed Interim Use Permit (IUP) to operate a community center with accessory prayer services
and outlined the applicable IUP criteria. She noted that the Planning Commission held a public
hearing but did not forward a recommendation of approval due to a 2-2 vote, with discussion
focused on whether the proposed schedule and activities met the definition of a community center
as being open to public, concerns that prayer services appeared to be the primary rather than the
accessory use, and that a prayer facility with community center were not a permitted use in the
zoning district. She responded to questions from Council.
Mr. Sheriff, applicant, described the proposed use was a community center providing services,
including tutoring and assistance with applications, primarily by appointment. He stated that prayer
services would be accessory to the community center use, explaining that members would pray at
the facility when it is time for prayer, but that prayer is not the primary purpose of the facility. Mr.
Sheriff noted that the organization was relatively small, has not previously operated a facility of this
type, and was requesting a one-year IUP to evaluate the operations while complying with City-
imposed conditions. He also responded to question from Council.
Ms. Ruth Kremer, Kremer Toy and Hobby store, expressed concerns regarding the compatibility of
the proposed community center within a retail shopping center and its potential impact on the ability
to attract and retain retail tenants. She noted that her business was a long-term tenant contributing to
the ongoing commercial activity within the center and stated that it periodically conducts outdoor
testing of nitro-powered vehicles as part of normal operations and wanted to ensure those activities
could continue. Ms. Kremer also raised concerns about inconsistencies in the applicant’s proposed
hours and frequency of operations, which she indicted raised questions about the proposed use.
The Council discussed whether the proposed IUP met the requirements for a community center with
accessory prayer services, stating their comments were not a value judgment but focused on
ordinance compliance. They expressed concern that the proposed schedule and operation indicated
prayer services functioned as the primary use, with limited community programming raising
questions about consistency with the IUP definition. They also noted that the Planning Commission
held a public hearing and voted against recommending approval, finding the primary use did not
align with the intended IUP use.

3. Legislation Related to In-person Absentee/Early Voting Period
City Clerk Luedke presented the staff report regarding a new election law allowing cities that
administer absentee voting to either continue a 46-day in-person absentee/early voting period or
adopt an 18 day early voting period. She reviewed the City’s current process, noting that most in-
person absentee voting occurs during the final 18 days, when voters are able to insert their ballots
directly into the ballot tabulator, similar to the process on Election Day. Clerk Luedke noted that
Wright County requested notification of the City’s decision by June 12, 2026. She responded to
Council questions.
MOTION made by Councilmember Olson, seconded by Councilmember Cocking to select the

City Administrator Nafstad introduced the item and reported that at the June 1 City Council
meeting, the Council approved the special event and community festival permits but denied the
temporary outdoor music permit. He noted that the applicants subsequently requested a special
Council meeting to address concerns related to prior residential noise complaints.
Mr. Joe Holtz and Chris Holtz of Neighbors Eatery and Saloon addressed the Council regarding
the previous residential noise complaints. They stated they were not aware of the complaints and
indicated that in prior years, live music had been requested. They responded to questions from
Council.
City Clerk Luedke clarified that the previously submitted special event permit application did not
include music, but rather a musical mechanical bull.
The Council discussed the request for an outdoor music permit, prior noise complaints and the
proposal for the music to play from 9 pm to 1 am. Councilmembers expressed interest in
allowing live music with an earlier end time and discussed the need for consequences in the
event of noncompliance with approved conditions or receipt if noise complaints.
City Attorney Couri responded to Council questions regarding enforcement options if conditions
of approval were not followed. He stated that the City could require the applicant to sign the
outdoor music permit acknowledging the conditions of approval and that failure to comply or
receipt of complaints could result in denial of future music permits.
Following discussion, the Council reached consensus to allow live music with an end time of 12
am contingent upon the applicant acknowledging the permit conditions and potential
consequences for non-compliance.

REGISTRATION FOR ALBERTVILLE TOBACCO AND VAPOR
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Lower-Potency Hemp Retail Registration for Albertville Tobacco and
Vaper located at 11008 61st Street NE #1005, Albertville.
BACKGROUND: The State of Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) notified the
City that a Lower Potency Hemp Retailer License (LPHE) was issued to Albertville Tobacco and
Vapor located at 11008 61st Street NE #1005. The applicant, Mr. Mohannad Najajreh has
submitted a City Lower-Potency Hemp Retail Registration application and the associated fees as

• Council approved an ordinance to allow regulation and registration of LPHE businesses.
• The City received a City Retail Registration application from Albertville Tobacco and
Vaper located at 11008 61st Street NE #1005, Albertville.
• Per the OCM, a local government may not limit the number of local retail registrations

Mayor and Council Request for Action
July 6, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSENT – CLERK – WRIGHT COUNTY MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve Wright County Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding
allocation of the Voting Operations, Technology and Election Resources (VOTER) account.
BACKGROUND: The State of Minnesota distributes Voting Operation, Technology, and
Election Resources (VOTER) Account funds to counties to support election administration,
technology, and operational needs. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 5.305, counties and
municipalities may enter into an agreement regarding the allocation of these funds.
Following the implementation of HF4240, Wright County assumed responsibility for
administering the 46-day absentee voting period and related absentee ballot processing. This
shift in election administration responsibilities prompted discussions between Wright County and
its municipalities regarding the funding and administration of election-related services.
The proposed MOU allows Wright County to retain and administer all VOTER Account funds
on behalf of participating municipalities. Funds may be used for eligible election-related
expenses, including voting systems and equipment, election security enhancements, absentee and
mail ballot administration, election official training, and technology improvements.
By entering into the MOU, the City of Albertville would forgo receiving a direct distribution of
VOTER Account funds. Instead, Wright County would administer the funds and assume
responsibility for the associated accounting, reporting, and compliance requirements.
KEY ISSUES:
• State Law allow counties and municipalities to enter into agreements for the
administration of VOTER Account funds.
• Wright County now administers absentee voting and related election functions under
HF4240.
• The MOU authorizes Wright County to retain and administer VOTER Account funds for
eligible election-related expenses.
• Approval eliminates the City's responsibility for VOTER Account accounting, reporting,
and state compliance requirements.
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: It is the City’s policy for the Council to review
and approve agreements.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City received VOTER Account allocations of
$2,179.71 in 2024 (which included a one-time state funding transfer) and $1,514.52 in 2025.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Regarding Allocation of the Voting Operations, Technology,
and Election Resources (VOTER) Account (Minn. Stat. § 5.305)
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into by and between Wright County,
Minnesota (“County”) and the undersigned, signatory cities and townships located within Wright
County (individually, “Municipality” and collectively, “Municipalities”).
PURPOSE

6. In accordance with Minn. Stat. § 5.305, the expenditures from the Municipality’s VOTER

NOW, THEREFORE, each Municipality that executes this MOU agrees as follows:
1. Agreement on Fund Allocation
All funds that could have been allocated by the County to the Municipality
through a default allocation distribution as specified in Minn. Stat. § 5.305, or
through a different agreed-upon allocation between the Municipality and County,
shall:
• Be retained by Wright County; and
• Be administered and expended at the discretion of the County for
allowable election-related expenses in accordance with Minn. Stat. §
5.305, as it may be amended from time to time.

Each Municipality that executes this MOU acknowledges and agrees that the
Municipality will get no distribution of funds from the County from the VOTER

This MOU shall remain in effect for each signatory Municipality until: (1)
amended by a mutual agreement between a Municipality and the County; (2)
terminated by the County at its discretion; or (3) terminated by a Municipality.
A termination by one or more Municipalities does not terminate the MOU for

Agenda Page 31
This MOU may be terminated by a Municipality. To terminate, the Municipality
must provide written notice of termination that is received by the County Auditor
before the Minnesota Secretary of State provides the annual allocation of the

and the County.
6. Authorization to Execute
The individual signing this MOU on behalf of each Municipality warrants and
represents that they have been duly authorized by all necessary actions, including

Mayor and Council Request for Action
July 6, 2026
SUBJECT: PLANNING – LABEAUX COMMERCIAL CENTRE PLAT
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
developers request about future street alignment and provide direction.
BACKGROUND: At the June 15, 2026 regular City Council meeting, the Council reviewed an
application from Java for the platting and rezoning to PUD of a 27 acres commercial/residential
zoned parcel. The Council approved the rezoning to PUD but tabled the decision on the plat so
that additional information regarding stormwater, wetlands, and the traffic study could be
reviewed. Also, the Council asked the developer to adjust the shape and location of the
stormwater pond on Outlot A, such that future roadway connections to the residential
neighborhood to the east, would not be precluded in the future.
KEY ISSUES:
• The plat will subdivide an approximately 27.64 acres into five lots and one outlot.
• The wetland delineation has been accepted and approved. The proposed wetland filling
and remediation will need to reviewed by the TEP, but the city has what’s needed for the
plat and inclusion of conditions for wetland mitigation are acceptable.
• The Traffic Study is in the process of being updated and reviewed to get to a final
acceptance by the City Engineer. The Developer’s Traffic Modeling Engineer will be at
the meeting to review the study and findings and answer questions.
• Outlot A is likely to be replatted in the future to be developed
POLICY/PRACTICES CONSIDERATIONS: The largest outstanding issue is the Council’s
direction to adjust the stormwater pond so that the future street connection could be made when
Outlot A is platted. There are two stubs to the property being developed. One is at 53rd Street to
the south and the other is off Lachman Avenue, north of Lachman Circle. At some point in the
past, it was thought that there would be future street connections. The policy consideration for
Council is whether to require the developer reconfigure the stormwater pond on Outlot A to
accommodate future roadway connections. After direction is given, the preliminary and final plat
(if ready) will be brought back to the next Council meeting for review and/or approval.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: N/A. They were detailed in the June 15th CC RCA.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City Attorney has reviewed the application and request. A
Development Agreement is required as part of the final plat.

LaBeaux Commercial Centre: Access Road to R1 Residential Development
To: Mayor and City Council Members of the City Albertville
From: Mark Krogh, Java Companies
Date: 5/5/2026
Re: Access Road to R1 Residential Development
Dear Mayor and City Council Members,
I am writing this letter to share with you the difficultly in developing the R1 residential land if we add
access roads from the commercial development to the R1 residential development. The R1 parcel is not a
square box; it has a unique shape that narrows at the middle of the site as shown below. Installing the access
roads will have a chain effect causing the loss of at least 5 residential lots, which would make an R1
residential practically and economically not viable. The feedback we received from the neighbors was very
clear that they did not want the access to the commercial and that is why we changed our plan. We are
asking that you approve the preliminary plat as we are proposing below, which would allow a viable R1
residential project and allow us to move forward with the commercial development. We appreciate all the
hard work the City Staff, Planning Commission, and Council Members have done through this process, and
we are looking forward to beginning construction and adding value to the community.
Preliminary Plat Requesting Approval:
