OPEN MIKE
Margaret Langfeld, Anoka County Commissioner - Commissioner Langfeld explained
that she was here to present a check in the amount of $269,488.00 to the City. She said
this check represents the final payment to the City for the construction of Apollo Drive.
Commissioner Langfeld explained that Anoka County was very happy to be able to enter
into a joint powers agreement for the construction of that roadway. Since Anoka County
did not have money in their budget for construction of Apollo Drive, the City paid for the
roadway and then turned responsibility of the roadway over to Anoka County who fully
repaid the City for all costs.
Mayor Landers thanked Commissioner Langfeld for the check.

POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CHIEF PECCHIA
Consideration of Terminating the Contract with the Minnesota Police Recruitment
System - Mr. Schumacher explained that Chief Pecchia is ill this evening and is unable
to address the City Council personally. The Lino Lakes Police Department is
recommending that the City no longer participate in the Minnesota Police Recruitment
System (MPRS). The City has been a member of this system since 1994 and used their
services to hire police personnel in the past.
The Chief of Police researched the potential for conducting an in-house testing process
utilizing other available testing services. He is recommending that the City dissolve the
current contract with MPRS and use an alternative testing consultant for hiring future
personnel.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Chief Pecchia's recommendation. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 06 Accepting a Donation form the Centennial
Fire District Relief Association - Mr. Schumacher explained that the Centennial Fire
District Relief Association has donated $525.00 to the Lino Lakes Police Department to
be used for the Rice Lake Elementary School Safety Patrol program. The money will be
used for a patrol recognition day where elementary patrol members will be taken to a
roller skating rink for an afternoon of roller skating.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 06 accepting the donation
from the Centennial Fire Relief Association. Council Member Lyden seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 06 can be found at the end of these minutes.

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
PUBLIC HEARING, IMPROVEMENT OF 12TH AVENUE AND HOLLY DRIVE,
DAVID AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that the purpose of this public hearing is to solicit public input and
to receive staff comments on the proposed reconstruction of 12th Avenue and Holly
Drive. At the close of the public hearing, no action will be taken by the City Council.
The City Charter prohibits Council action on this project for 60 days or no later than six
(6) months. The Council action will range from denial of the project to approving the
total or some portion of the project.
Mr. Heth explained that SEH was requested to prepare a feasibility report outlining the
improvement to Minnesota State Aid (MSA) standards and the cost of improvements to
12th Avenue and Holly Drive. He used the overhead projector and a drawing on the clip
board and outlined the proposed improvements. Mr. Heth explained that the north portion
Holly Drive and all of 12th Avenue are proposed to be improved to MSA standards since
that area is within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The southern portion
of Holly Drive would be improved to the current City standards for a rural roadway, it is
not within the MUSA.
Mr. Heth explained that a state aid roadway would be improved as follows:
Rural Street - 12 foot paved lanes with 10 foot gravel shoulders and 6 to 1 tie slopes to
the ditch.
Urban Street - 22 foot paved lanes with B618 curbs.
The estimated cost to do a combination of these two (2) types of roadways from Birch
Street south on 12th Avenue and Holly Drive to Ash Street (County Road J) is
$1,952,000.00. Mr. Heth explained that he estimated what lands adjoining 12th Avenue
and Holly Drive would be developed within the near future. Following the Lino Lakes
policy of assessing $57.00 per front foot, there may be a possible $430,000.00 in future
assessments. The City will receive $250,000.00 from the developer of Trapper's
Crossing and future MSA funding would be $1,274,000.00.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 6:42 P.M. Council Member Neal asked how
this improvement would be financed. Mr. Heth explained that the Feasibility Report
outlines a standard MSA roadway paid by the City's state aid funds. Council Member
Neal asked if this means that there would be no cost to the residents along these two (2)
roadways. Mr. Heth said that the costs could come from the City's MSA funds.
Council Member Kuether asked how many years of MSA funds would this improvement
require. Mr. Heth explained that currently the City receives approximate $250,000.00 per
year. This improvement would take approximate six (6) or seven (7) years of MSA funds
PAGE 3
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
and there would be no MSA to use elsewhere in the City. Mr. Ahrens explained that the
City would have wait to let the MSA balance reach the required funding or borrow ahead
up to three (3) years of funding. Even if the City opted to borrow ahead, there would not
be enough MSA funds to complete the improvement.
Council Member Kuether asked if the City could bond for the improvement. Mr. Ahrens
said yes and payment of the bonds could be made from MSA funds or some other means.
Mr. Heth reviewed his presentation noting that there is no guarantee that other areas
along 12th Avenue and Holly Drive will develop. This means that today, if the roadway
was constructed to MSA standards, the City would have to finance approximately
$1,600,000.00 of the improvement. The only other money available for the improvement
is the $250,000.00 from the developer of Trapper's Crossing.
Mayor Landers said that knowing the condition of the current roads, he would have a
hard time designating all the City's MSA funds for the next six (6) or seven (7) years in
this one project.
Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Ahrens how many miles is this section of roadway
and how many total miles of MSA roads are in Lino Lakes. Mr. Heth that this project is
1.7 miles and Mr. Ahrens said there are approximately 15 miles of MSA roads in the City
at this time.
Mr. Schumacher noted that the Feasibility Report outlines that this project will be
improved to MSA standards. He asked Mr. Heth to describe where the MUSA line ends.
Mr. Heth explained that it ends approximately at the southern border of Trapper's
Crossing. Mr. Schumacher noted that municipal water and sanitary sewer cannot be
installed past the MUSA boundary. He asked if it can be assumed that if the entire
roadway was improved to MSA standards, could utilities be extended in this area
economically in the future? Mr. Heth said yes. He explained that he would prefer
constructing the utilities and upgrading the road at the same time. Mr. Schumacher asked
if all of the road would have to be improved to MSA standards or could something less be
constructed. Mr. Heth said that the MSA standards require that if the improvement
construction is phased, each phase must be ended at a logical termination point such as a
street or road. State aid engineers do not want the project ending at a driveway or near
the middle of a field.
Council Member Lyden said he felt that the logical place to start and end the project is at
Birch Street and Ash Street (County Road J). He felt that the public should have a safe
road for everyone to use. He noted that this matter was discussed at the last Council work
session and there have been other discussion. Council Member Lyden noted that the
agreement made with the Trapper's Crossing developer was that he would pay his fair
share. He said that after the dollar amount is determined, the City Council would have to
consider where the balance of the funding would come from and how this road would be
made safe for vehicular traffic.
PAGE 4
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Council Member Kuether noted that there was discussion at the Council work session
regarding phasing the construction of the roadway since the Trapper's Crossing
Development itself is to be phased. She noted that it would be some time before there
would be a noticeable increase in traffic due to the construction of Trapper's Crossing.
Council Member Lyden said he did not want to "piece meal" the construction of this
roadway because the City already has many substandard roads and he would not tolerate
another. He felt that the financing of the project was important and referred to an
agreement that was made on August 8, 1995 in which it was stated that the developer
would be required to pay his fair share. Council Member Lyden said determining the
developers fair share should be determined before there is any additional talk of using all
of the City's MSA funds on one road.
Mr. Heth said that he had discussed with Mr. Ahrens other options for improving this
roadway. He again showed the drawing of the roadway and noted the area that does not
qualify for MSA funding. The area that does not qualify for MSA funding would
consists of two (2) 12 foot paved lanes and four (4) foot shoulders and a 4 to 1 slopes
down to the ditch and 3 to one tie slopes back to the right-of-way. To improve the
portion of 12th Avenue where the utilities end in Trapper's Crossing going east on 12th
Avenue and then north to Birch Street would cost approximately $207,000.00. This
includes widening the existing road. The developer of Trapper's Crossing is required to
bring this portion of roadway back to the original condition. The cost of improving the
road beginning at the west end of Trapper's Crossing to Ash Street is estimated to cost
$895,000.00. The large difference in cost is because when utilities are extended from the
Brandywood Estates area south to Trapper's Crossing, the blacktop will be replaced and
subcuts will be completed. The roadway will only require the added four (4) foot
shoulders and ditch slope improvements. None of the portion ending at Ash Street would
qualify for MSA funding.
Council Member Kuether asked if it mattered if this portion of roadway qualified for
MSA funding. If this area is to be financed by bonding, the MSA funds could be used for
other road projects in the City. Council Member Bergeson said that under the City
Charter, the City may not be able to construct the road since there would be only two (2)
sources of funding which are assessments or MSA funding. Council Member Lyden said
it is clear that the City should live up to the agreement made with the developer who will
pay his fair share and then there will be enough MSA funds to do the entire roadway from
Birch Street to Ash Street the right way, the first time. Council Member Bergeson felt
that there would not be enough MSA funds. Council Member Lyden said that the City
will not have that information until it is determined what the developers fair share is.
Council Member Lyden said that the agreement that was made with the developer goes
above and beyond State Statute Chapter 429. An agreement will have to be made with
the developer that will take this agreement into consideration.
PAGE 5
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Mr. Schumacher said that first the public hearing must be held and public input received
regarding this proposal for a state aid road system in the Trapper's Crossing area.
Following the public hearing, the first step for the City Council is to make a
determination of what type of road should be constructed in this area. Then the next step
is to determine the benefit to the developer so that the City can prepare a financing
package.
Mayor Landers asked if the $1,952,000.00 includes going south on 12th Avenue from
Birch Street with curbing as well as an area in front of Trapper's Crossing with curbing.
Mr. Heth explained that the $1,952,000.00 includes 3500 feet of curbing. Part of the
curbing will be installed in front of Trapper's Crossing and part along side of
Brandywood Estates. This plan was approved by the former City Engineer. However,
Mr. Heth did not know what Mr. Ahrens thought about the plan.
Council Member Lyden noted that this is the first public hearing of the new year. He
wanted the audience to know that speaking in this type of public forum is stressful and
difficult. He wanted the public to know that the City Council appreciates the thoughts,
feelings and concerns of the citizens and would try to make this as easy as possible for
everyone.
Sue Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive - Ms. Walseth said she was not clear about whether or
not the City planned to assess the adjoining property owners. She felt that there was a
great deal of contradiction about this item. Ms. Walseth commented about the notices in
the legal newspaper about the 12th Avenue/Holly Drive improvement. The notices had
stated that there would be no assessment to the adjacent property owners. However, the
subsequent notice on the same page, Resolution No, 95 - 159 said that the abutting
property owners would be assessed per State Statute Chapter 429 and Chapter 8 of the
Lino Lakes City Charter for all or a portion of the cost of the road improvement.
Confusion, yes. Ms. Walseth said that the October 19, 1995 feasibility report states that
the City expects to collect future assessments of $428,640.00 or $57.00 per foot from the
7,520 linear feet on abutting property on these two (2) streets. She said that the streets
are adequate in width and construction for the amount of traffic generated by the present
number of residents living on the streets. Any increase in traffic volume due to the
development is not the residents fault and they should not be held responsible for any
assessments at all. Last week it was mentioned at the Council work session that the City
was restricted by State Statue 429 and Chapter 8 of the Lino Lakes Charter on assessing
the developer for the road. Ms. Walseth said she researched these two (2) statutes and
found some interesting information. Chapter 8.03, Subd. 2 of the City Charter states, "If
the protest petition is determined to be valid and sufficient and contains the names of
owners of a majority by area of all parcels or property proposed to be assessed for the
local improvement, the City Council must not order the construction of the local
improvement project." Ms. Walseth asked how could the proposed road improvement
continue to proceed without it being in direct violation of the City Charter? During the
past two (2) years the property owners on Holly Drive and 12th Avenue have submitted a
total of three (3) petitions, February and March, 1994, August and September, 1994 and
PAGE 6
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
December, 1995, January, 1996 which firmly states that they do not want to pay for any
road improvements. Why were these petitions ignored? Ms. Walseth said that she
believes it is presumptuous of the City to assume that the property owners are going to
change their minds. The City is walking on thin ice when it takes for granted that they
will be financing a portion of the road project by collecting almost one-half of a million
dollars from a meager 21 abutting properties who have spoken loud and clear that they do
not want any assessments. Ms. Walseth said that because of this, she said she did not
understand why assessments were mentioned in the October, 1995 feasibility report.
Ms. Walseth said she wanted clarification of whether or not the current residents will be
assessed and what is the meaning of the frequently used term, "future assessment"?
Mr. Ahrens explained that there are no proposed assessments to the property owners
along 12th Avenue and Holly Drive. The residents are not proposed to be assessed for
the project as outlined in the feasibility report. The reference to future MSA assessments,
refers to if the properties were to be developed, they would be assessed for road
reconstruction in the same manner as Trapper's Crossing is proposed to be assessed. If
the City Council adopts an approval motion for this project, it could include language that
a certain development should pay a certain dollar amount for the improvement.
Mr. Ahrens addressed the confusion caused by the legal notices in the Quad Press. He
explained that the Charter requires that the City state in writing to the property owners
what their proposed assessment will be. The notice to each property owner said that their
assessment would be zero. He also noted Ms. Walseth's reference to Resolution No. 95 -
159 which states, "The council will consider the improvement of such streets in
accordance with the report and the assessment of abutting property for all or a portion of
the cost of the improvement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 and Section 8 of
the Lino Lakes City Charter ....". This is generic language and there is no assessment
proposed for the residents along these streets.
Ms. Walseth continued by stating that the City Council should re-evaluate the Planning
Consultants, who operate from outside agencies, role in our City. In reference to
Trapper's Crossing, Alan Brixius from Northwest Associated Consultants repeatedly
recommended the approval of the preliminary plat. One of the judgment criteria for
approval, as stated by Mr. Brixius, was that the traffic generation of the proposed use be
within the capabilities of the streets serving the property. In the December 6, 1993
Northwest Associated Consultant planning report, when Trapper's Crossing first started,
the report went even further to say that Holly Drive and 12th Avenue are of adequate size
as collector roads to move traffic in and out the project. In all the latest feasibility report.
it states that the road reconstruction will cost $1,952,000.00. Ms. Walseth asked who is
responsible for this $1,952,000.00 misjudgment? Does the City really need this type of
advice which would put its finances in a bind?
Ms. Walseth said that she wanted to address some problems involving housekeeping.
First, she said she wanted it documented that she is upset with the City for putting her
PAGE 7
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
through nine (9) months of unnecessary stress beginning in March, 1995. She had been
informed by everyone there (at city hall) time and time again that the City would not
support her regarding the fence issue between herself and Hokanson Development and
that she was entirely on her own. Then without warning, the rules changed. Staff re-
evaluated the fencing buffer motion from August 8, 1994 and decided'that she was no
longer a participant regarding the fence. She said she received this little news flash from
Ms. Wyland who informed her that on the following day the City would be issuing
Hokanson's fencing permit. Ms. Walseth said she asked Ms. Wyland if this could be
possible since there had never been a mutual agreement between herself and Hokanson.
Ms. Wyland explained that staff and Mr. Hokanson had arrived at a decision themselves.
She asked why the City wasted her time for all of those months and subjected her to all
that stress. It was a waste of her time to re -arrange her personal schedule to attend
mediation services and other meetings, doing all the senseless research and doing fence
price comparisons with 10 different companies and had to waste her time calculating all
the fence prices and linear footage's for total estimated cost. Ms. Walseth thank the staff
for being so inconsiderate of her feelings and her time. Why didn't the City competently
decide this matter from its conception instead of making a 180 degree switch act like this
at the end. Ms. Walseth said in telephone conversations with Ms. Wyland, she
questioned the timing of the fence permit with winter in full force and the ground being
frozen. Ms. Wyland explained that there was a warm spell forecasted for the coming
week of December 1st through the 3rd and that Hokanson was quite anxious to begin
installation of the fence at this time. Ms. Walseth said for the record, the warm spell
during that week came and went and not one person was there to do any installation work
on the fence. Ms. Walseth continued, the privacy fence on the east side of her property
has never been a major point of contention between herself and Hokanson Development.
It was the suggested material used for the north fence that was never agreed upon. For
the record, Ms. Walseth stated that the complete omission of a fence on the north
boundary of her property is totally unacceptable. She said that she feels strongly that a
chain link fence is needed in this area. Ms. Walseth said that, as she understands it, the.
staff had dusted the cob webs off of some obsolete pool ordinance that was unexpectedly
discovered about a four (4) foot unclimbable fence being adequate for trespassing for
pools. Ms. Walseth said this is a hobby farm, not a pool. The key word being
overlooked here is "unclimbable". With two (2) 2 X 4 horizontal rails on the four (4) foot
fence, it is very convenient and sturdy to hop from side to side. She said that, of course,
Hokanson will not be required to install a fence buffer on the north side. Ms. Walseth
said that she wished the staff would work as diligently on her behalf as a resident and tax
payer as they do in helping a developer find loop holes to benefit him.
Ms. Walseth said that in the August 28, 1995 Council minutes, page 2, Mayor Reinert
instructed Ms. Wyland to work with the City Engineer to inform the other property
owners living on the north side of Holly Drive, by letter, letting them know that they had
a right to a fence buffer also. This action was necessary because at a July 1995 meeting
at her home, with the developer and neighbors, Ms. Wyland had discouraged the other
property owners from having an opportunity to receive a fence. Ms Walseth said for
review, one of the conditions stated in the approval of Trapper's Crossing, was that the
PAGE 8
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
developer had to provide a physical barrier around the periphery of the development to
deter trespassing onto the adjacent rural properties. She said that it was always a known
fact that the adjacent parcels were of large acreage and the PDO never categorized these
rural adjacent properties with size restrictions. Ms. Walseth said, in recent conversations
as late as yesterday with neighbors on the north side of Holly Drive, they have not
received such a letter. When Ms. Walseth and Ms. Dahl looked through the Trapper's
Crossing file near the end of November, 1995, there was no evidence of any fencing
letters sent to these property owners. Ms. Walseth asked why none of her neighbors
received the revised information regarding the fence buffer which Ms. Wyland was
directed to address almost five (5) months ago? Mr. Schumacher suggested that since
Ms. Wyland name has been mentioned a number of times this evening, these issues
should be raised with her so that she can state her side of this issue. The original intent of
the fence issue is in the minutes and Mr. Schumacher suggested that it be researched and
reviewed at a time when Ms. Wyland is present.
Council Member Lyden said it was quite clear what was outlined by Ms. Walseth. A
physical barrier for all the adjoining property owners was explicitly outlined in the
minutes. He said if the Council wants to research this matter again, it should be since it is
time to get this matter taken care of.
Caroline Dahl, 1101 Holly Court - Ms. Dahl said that she was going to read excerpts
from the Lino Lakes City hall Trapper's Crossing file, the City Council minutes and other
facts. She quoted from the February 13, 1995 Council minutes, pages 35 and 36 as
follows:
Holly Drive Feasibility Report and Cost Sharing Proposal - Mr. Powell explained that the
developer of the proposed Trapper's Crossing was required as a condition of the
preliminary plat approval to participate in a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of
12th Avenue and Holly Drive between Ash Street and Birch Street. He said based on a
recent traffic study completed in the area, ignoring any effect of a park complex, the
subdivision would ultimately account for about 70% of the traffic. At the August 8, 1994
Council meeting, Darrell Schneider, Mayor Reinert and City Attorney Bill Hawkins
repeatedly stated that a satisfactory provision requiring Mr. Hokanson's development
road participation cost be written into the agreement or there would be no development.
The developer, Mr. Hokanson insisted on a decision for the PDO and the preliminary plat
that night, August 8, 1994 in spite of Mayor Reinert's suggestion of a two (2) week
postponement on this decision. Ms. Dahl said that the developer's agreement was signed
on July 18, 1995 yet the road feasibility report was not finished until October 17, 1995.
She asked how can this be? She said the staff is overstepping Council's action. This is
putting the cart before the horse. Ms. Dahl said that this is not following the PDO and
preliminary plat agreement that was made between the developer, Mr. Hokanson and the
Council on August 8, 1994. She said that the staff has to follow what the City Council
dictates. This was not done. She asked who is responsible for overstepping their (staff)
bounds? Ms. Dahl addressed these questions to Mr. Schumacher. Mr. Schumacher asked
which question did Ms. Dahl want answered first. He said that Ms. Dahl had raised a
PAGE 9
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
number of issues and was reading from minutes back in 1995. Ms. Dahl asked Mr.
Schumacher if he wanted her to repeat the question? Mayor Landers said that Mr.
Schumacher should take one question at a time and answer that one and take the next
question or issue. Ms. Dahl said that the developers agreement was signed July 18, 1995
yet the road feasibility report was not finished until October 17, 1995. She asked who is
responsible for stepping out of bounds? Mr. Schumacher asked Ms. Dahl why she felt
that there was a stepping over or out of bounds. He said that the original intent was to sit
down and negotiate an agreement with the developer for the payment of the road. He
asked her if this is the issue here tonight. Ms. Dahl said yes, but if the developers
agreement was signed before the feasibility study was finished or the traffic report was
completed, isn't this like putting the cart in front of the horse? Mr. Schumacher
explained that there is a standard agreement that is signed for all development that takes
place in Lino Lakes. Ms. Dahl said that their (development) was different because they
(staff) repeatedly asked for a proportion or percentage that the developer would pay for
the road. This was (discussed) on August 8, 1994. She said that ours (Trapper's
Crossing) was different from the standard agreement. Ms. Dahl said that there were
added things to the agreement and it was not to be signed unless the City had all of their
little ducks in a row and until the traffic and feasibility reports were in. She said that
people just do not sign things like that because people have to know what they are getting
into. Mr. Schumacher said that he did not believe that the agreement even addresses the
issue dealing with Holly Drive. He said that the agreement only addresses the
development issues within the subdivision itself. Ms. Dahl asked Mr. Schumacher to
repeat this statement. Mr. Schumacher asked the City Engineer to clarify the issue further
and then explained when a development or subdivision comes in, the City has a standard
developers agreement for all the sewer, water, roads and all other details that are
associated with a subdivision. He continued, the phase I subdivision with 34 lots and 28
units has this developers agreement for just the first phase of the development. Mr.
Schumacher explained that this public hearing is just for the MSA road improvement and
there is no agreement with the developer on this matter. Ms. Dahl read the Council
motion from the Council minutes of August 8, 1994; "Council Member Kuether moved
to approve the preliminary plat subject to the conditions outlined in the August 5, 1994
staff report and the condition that the developer take action necessary to complete a
satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of Holly Drive and 12th Avenue from County
Road J (Ash Street) to Birch Street ..." Ms. Dahl said, when reviewing this request, the
following was noted; "#3 based on a recent traffic study performed in the area, ignoring
the effect of any park complex, the subdivision would ultimately account for about 70%
of the traffic on 12th Avenue and Holly Drive". Ms. Dahl referred to a document from
John Powell, acting engineer, dated April 21, 1995 and read as follows: "The upgrade of
12th/Holly roadway is necessary to serve the additional traffic generated by the Trapper's
Crossing subdivision and future traffic needs of the City. As part of the Trapper's
Crossing preliminary plat approval, the developer was required to participate in a
satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of the roadway". Ms. Dahl noted a letter written
by developer Hokanson's attorney dated April 9, 1994, and said that in short, Mr.
Hokanson's own legal advisors are saying that his percentage is 50% of the cost of the
road. She said that the key words are," same proportion". Ms. Dahl said that in her
PAGE 10
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
conversations with Alan Brixius, on more than one occasion, he had told her repeatedly
there is a letter of credit from D. Erickson's Brandywood Development for about
$225,000.00 to cover the reconstruction of 12th Avenue from Birch Street to the end of
Brandywood. She said that she kept asking him, "are you sure it is there? How can you
be sure it is there?" Mr. Brixius said I know that the money is there, he kept saying that it
was definitely there and had to be used up within a certain time frame or we would lose
it. Ms Dahl said she checked with her own bank and was told that this was not a
problem. The banker said that all the City had to do was renew it for as many years as it
was needed through the bank that the letter of credit was drawn on with the developer,
which in this case was D. Erickson. Ms. Dahl said that former Mayor Reinert said that
they had to approve Trapper's Crossing in order to pay for City water and sewer along
Birch Street and 12th Avenue and that the money from Brandywood for the road had to
be used in a timely manner. She said that at the beginning, the money was definitely
there and now it isn't. Lino Lakes, being a public body is subject to audit scrutiny, why
can't we find it and where was it put? Ms. Dahl asked who would like to respond to this?
Mr. Ahrens said that when he was first apprised of this project, the money that Ms. Dahl
referred to in Brandywood was mentioned to him. He said that he went through the
complete file looking for it because obviously it would be a benefit to the City if the City
could find $250,000.00. He said he was not able to find any reference to this money in
letters and documents, agreements or anything else. Mr. Ahrens said he is not aware of a
letter of credit.. He said he is not saying that it is gone or that it is there, personally he as
not be able to find it and the people he has talked to have not been able to track it down
either. Mr. Ahrens said that he has not been able to track down the escrow amount
referred to by Ms. Dahl.
Mr. Schumacher said to Ms. Dahl that she had indicated that she had a discussion with
Mr. Brixius regarding a letter of credit for Brandywood. Ms. Dahl said yes. Mr.
Schumacher said that he was sure that there was a letter of credit for Brandywood and a
financial agreement such as the City puts together for all subdivisions. He asked Mr.
Ahrens if he had found anything in the Brandywood file regarding that letter of credit.
Mr. Schumacher felt that there was some confusion between a letter of credit for the
project we are talking about here (Trapper's Crossing) versus the letter of credit for the
subdivision itself. He explained that every subdivision that goes in has its own financial
package and the developers have to have that before they can market their project. They
need to know what it is going to cost. Mr. Schumacher said that the City cannot come
back at a later date and say oh we forgot something. The City puts together a financial
analysis for the developer and for the City to determine exactly what these costs are going
to be. He said he was sure that for Brandywood, this same situation occurred where a
letter of credit was given for the development of Brandywood and all the improvements
within the project. However, referencing that the $250,000.00. Mr. Schumacher was
interrupted by Ms. Dahl who said that the amount was $225,000.00 and it was foor the
reconstruction of 12th Avenue. She said that she discussed this at length with Alan
Brixius because she wanted to know where it was, how it got there and how he knew. He
said it was definitely there. She said Mr. Brixius said this several times to her.
PAGE 11
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Council Member Kuether said that this was brought up at the Wednesday work session
and asked if anyone had called Mr. Brixius and asked him about this. Mr. Ahrens said
that he had called and talked to Mr. Brixius on Thursday morning. Mr. Brixius said that
Brandywood was prior to him working for the City as a consultant. Mr. Ahrens said that
generally Mr. Brixius does not get involved any sort of financial arrangement between the
developer and the City. Council Member Kuether said that she was talking to Ms. Dahl
and asked Mr. Ahrens what was he using for the basis for this conversation. Mr. Ahrens
said he did not know but Mr. Brixius said that he does not get involved in financial
situations, that this is generally between the City Engineer and the developer. Council
Member Kuether asked if Mr. Brixius is saying that he did not talk to Ms. Dahl? Mr.
Ahrens did not ask if he talked to Ms. Dahl. He just asked him if he had any background
on this and if so what was the background. Council Member Neal asked that Mr. Brixius
attend a Council meeting so that the Council can speak with him on this matter.
Ms. Dahl said to Mr. Schumacher that even if he made a mistake and forgot about it and
cannot go back , it would still be written into the Brandywood development agreement
and there would also be a letter of credit which would be in that file. She said that it
would not just mysteriously disappeared or fly away by itself. If he forgot is immaterial,
it would still be there and the City would at least know the name of the bank. Council
Member Kuether replied if it was there to begin with (in the beginning). Mr. Ahrens said
that the developer agreement in the Brandywood file referenced construction costs within
the plat itself and he did not see any reference to a letter of credit for 12th/Holly. Ms.
Dahl asked if there was a reference to a letter of credit for 12th/Holly in the developers
agreement. Mr. Ahrens said no.
Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Hawkins if this letter of credit "rang a bell" for him.
Mr. Hawkins said no that generally he did not get involved with development contracts,
Ms. Wyland does handles these matters.
Mayor Landers said that it is his opinion that Ms. Wyland and Mr. Brixius should come
before the City Council to answer these questions. Council Member Neal suggested that
a meeting be held at City hall with all persons involved in this issue. Mayor Landers said
he was in favor of such a meeting because there are unanswered questions. Council
Member Kuether said that she did not want it to sound that the City lost $250,000.00
because she was sure that this did not happen.
Ms. Dahl said that the City made one step forward in paying for the utilities on Birch
Street just to go three (3) steps back with $1,952,000.00 road issue. The $20,000.00
feasibility report was to determine the type of road improvements and costs stated. The
traffic study which cost the City another $1,500.00 or more, reported that the Trapper's
Crossing will generate 70% of the traffic in the usage of this road. She said, therefore,
the conclusion can only be Trapper's Crossing share will be 70% of the $1,952,000.00.
Ms. Dahl said Chapter 429 as mentioned at the Council work session is just a smoke
screen and has no bearing on this existing PDO and preliminary plat agreement. She said
that she believes that it is not the job or duty of the staff to renegotiate an existing
PAGE 12
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
agreement and over rule the Council's action with the developer. She also said that she
did not believe that it was the staff's job or obligation to find loopholes to let Mr.
Hokanson get out of paying his share of the percentage of this road in this agreement.
This cannot be done. Ms. Dahl said that it is the Council's job to govern and the staff's
job to execute the Council's orders. She said that she believes that it is the City's own
staff to undermine the agreement that the City Council, Mayor and developer, Mr.
Hokanson agreed to. Ms. Dahl asked, why is the staff taking over the duties of the City
Council? She waited for a response. Mr. Ahrens said that he did not have the
background on the procedures set up by the City, his experience in the four (4) months
that he has been with the City is that upon preliminary plat approval, just like in
Trapper's Crossing, the staff takes over to work out the development agreement and get
the document executed. He said if this is something that the Council wants to reconsider,
it can be changed. Ms. Dahl asked Mr. Ahrens if he follows what the Council wants him
to do. Mr. Ahrens said yes.
Ms. Dahl continued saying that she believes it is the obligation and responsibility of the
new Council and Mayor, to uphold the agreement and the result of the traffic study that
was made between the Council staff and the developer, Mr. Hokanson on August 8, 1994.
She said that there are many copies and transcripts of the August 8,1994 Council meeting
and the Trapper's Crossing PDO agreement. The video and transcripts are proof of the
PDO and the preliminary plat agreement and Mr. Hokanson's agreement in the
participation in the percentage of the road. Ms. Dahl said the following has a little bit to
do with Trapper's Crossing, but is mainly directed to staff. She asked how the staff could
professionally and/or correctly do their job by having all the Planning and Zoning Board
and Council audio and video tapes be re-recorded over every six (6) months with no
regard if the project is currently finished or not. With the inaccuracy of the minutes not
being word for word, staff and the citizens have no permanent or precise record for future
use. She said that you (?) have no way of predicting what may or may not go to court.
Ms. Dahl said that she has checked with cities like Blaine who have a permanent record
of all their Planning and Zoning Board and Council meetings on disks for the computer
use beside video and audio tapes. Spring Lake Park keeps its video and audio tapes as
well. Ms. Dahl said that something has to change so that we will have an accurate
accounting of all the meetings. She said the Time Saver dictation that is now used for the
Planning and Zoning Board meetings should also now be used for the Council meetings.
How can you do this when you have no tapes? Trapper's Crossing was August 8, 1994.
Ms. Dahl said that's not when it started, it started in January, 1994. Ms. Dahl said that
you people tape over those tapes. Mrs. Anderson explained that she is responsible for the
audio tapes and they are kept for at least two (2) years. Ms. Dahl said that she asked for
them and was told they are taped over every six (6) months. Mrs. Anderson explained
that video tapes are reused every six (6) months, however, the audio tapes are kept for
two (2) years or more. Ms. Dahl said that the video tapes should also be kept for two (2)
years because they are very cheap. Mrs. Anderson said that audio tapes are required to be
kept for two (2) years and are in her possession. Ms. Dahl said that she took audio tapes
and transcribed from them word for word because the minutes were so inaccurate, she
found that the tape from six (6) months ago overlapping a meeting more than a year old.
PAGE 13
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
Ms. Dahl said that the City should seriously consider keeping the video tapes and the
Time Saver dictation because they put it on a hard disk and this is a permanent record.
This is done for the Planning and Zoning Board and Ms. Dahl said that she assumes that
the City still has this. Council Member Kuether said that the City Council talked about
having someone such as Time Savers do the City Council minutes but the City Clerk has
to be here. Mrs. Anderson explained that she is required to attend the Council meetings,
however someone such as Time Savers could actually do the minutes. Ms. Dahl said she
had talked to surrounding cities and they said that they could not believe that Lino Lakes
did not keep a permanent record by keeping the videos.
Amy Donlin, 6100 Centerville Road - Ms. Donlin said that she wanted to apply her
statement to both public hearings, Trapper's Crossing and Clearwater Creek
development. She noted that in considering these so called improvements, we often do
feasibility studies and pay amazing amounts of money to see just what has to be done to
bring our City up to par for development standards. Meanwhile, developers stand by and
dictate what they need and what they shall have and our residents often bear tremendous
burdens in terms of increased volumes of traffic throughout our City, students in our
schools, needs as far as police, fire and maintenance are concerned, increased incidents of
crime and violence and more often than not, increased tax burdens that all of this
necessitates. Ms. Donlin said she would like to offer up a term that has been lost in the
mad dash toward volumes of rooftops, the term is ethic. She said that ethic is a word that
means moral duty or obligation, the principles of conduct which govern us. She said that
ethics should be equally as important with feasibility reports and "bean" counting. Ms.
Donlin said that did not believe that residents should give up the quality of life which we
enjoy here nor should we have to pay dearly through esthetic depletion's, frontage
assessments or by way of state funding, which originates at home anyway, to make
developers projects profitable for them. She said she believes it is OK to draw the line
and to say no to a developments demands when it stands to drain our current residents in
any way. It is up to the developer to pull their weight and to pay for which benefits only
their pocket books. Ms. Donlin said she hoped you (the City Council) would do the
ethical thing and make he who demands the services also pay for them.
Kirk Corson, 6662 Ruffed Grouse Road - He explained that he worked for Hokanson
Development. He said that he felt that the City has a fine staff and felt that they try their
best to represent both sides of the issue. Even though he works for the developer, he
could see both sides of a lot of issues and felt the staff has tried to work with both sides.
Mr. Corson said he wanted to point out a few things about the traffic issue. First
Hokanson did pay for the traffic study. It was not paid by the City. Secondly, the traffic
study was completed in October, 1994 and the development agreement was signed in
July, 1995 not 1994 as previously stated. Mr. Corson, said that he went back through the
records of the minutes and looked at the video tapes of Council meetings. He said it was
our (Hokanson) understanding, based on what Darrell Schneider had worked out with
Hokanson, that the project (road improvement) would be $1,900,000.00. There were
funds that should be allocated from Brandywood, Hokanson's cost would be $250,000.00
PAGE 14
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
and the road was to be fully reconstructed to MSA standards and MSA funds were to be
used. Mr. Corson said that was the original understanding and if there is something else,
he would like to find out where this agreement is coming from. He said that the original
developers agreement did address a lot of the issues just raised.
Council Member Lyden asked Mr. Corson for the date of the original developers
agreement. Mr. Corson said it is dated July, 1995. Mayor Landers noted that Council
Member Lyden said original developers agreement and asked if there has been another
agreement since then. Mr. Corson said no, the agreement has numbers and on the back
page several items are discussed. He said that Hokanson's understanding of the situation
comes from the developers agreement, copies of the Council minutes, video tapes and the
discussions with staff.
Mr. Ahrens clarified dates by saying that the developers agreement is dated July, 1995,
the traffic analysis was completed in October, 1994 and the feasibility report was
completed in December, 1995.
Dawn Kenny, 6299 Red Maple Lane - Ms. Kenny said she did not visit the 12th
Avenue/Holly Drive area of the City very much but wanted to speak about another
development that affects her as a resident. She noted that Ware Road was considered a
hazardous road even before Fox Trace and Pine Ridge developments were constructed.
Now she considers it a deadly road. Ms. Kenny said that when citizens on Ware Road
wanted to upgrade the road because it was a MSA road, the City said no because the
property owners abutting the road would not accept assessments. Now she hears all this
"stuff' about Holly Drive and to her it sounds like de ja vu. Ms. Kenny said that she did
not know if there were traffic studies on Ware Road but there were studies, the estimate
of traffic should have been doubled because it is a dangerous road. She said that she did
not think that the condition of Ware Road was the fault or the responsibility of the
original citizens to upgrade the road now. Ms. Kenny said she thought Ware Road should
have been upgraded first to handle the increase in traffic. She said that it sounds like the
same thing is happening on 12th/Holly and advised the City Council to "tread softly"
because they could be creating the same situation that they have on Ware Road.
Council Member Kuether moved to close the public hearing at 7:40 P.M. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion.
Council Member Lyden said considering the 20/20 project and the real issue that was
brought up by the 20/20 project about increasing the communication between the
Council, staff and the public, the Council would be doing the right thing by keeping the
public hearing open. Mayor Landers said he agreed with Council Member Lyden and
would favor keeping the public hearing open until all the facts have been presented by
Ms. Wyland, Mr. Brixius and others. He suggested that the public hearing be continued,
compile all of the information and then discuss the matter at the next work session and
then when all questions have been answered, the public hearing can be closed at the next
City Council meeting.
PAGE 15
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Council Member Kuether rescinded her motion. Council Member Neal rescinded his
second to the motion. Council Member Kuether moved to continue the public hearing to
February 12, 1996 at 6:45 P.M. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Council
Member Bergeson asked if at the end of the continued hearing on February 12, 1996 and
there are still unresolved issues, could the public hearing be continued again. Mr.
Hawkins said yes. Mr. Schumacher said that the appropriate staff will be present at the
next Council meeting so that all questions can be addressed.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING, RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE USE OF THE
1996-1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS,
RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher explained that this public hearing is to allow citizens and agencies the
opportunity to request CDBG dollars. All projects must benefit primarily low income
persons or households or clean up conditions of slum and blight. The dollars are from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (Federal dollars). All requirements of
the grant, including insurance requirements, must be met by the sub -grantees of the City
of Lino Lakes.
Anoka County has informed the city of Lino Lakes that the City has an estimated
$37,605.00 for 1996-1997 activities. Comments and requests for funding will be
received at this public hearing and the City Council will make a final allocation decision
at the February 12, 1996 regular Council meeting.
The following agencies have submitted requests for CDBG funding for grant year 1996-
1997:
Anoka County Community Action Program (ACCAP) $4,328.00
Alexandra House $5,000.00
Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) $1,000.00
Forest Lake Area Youth Service Bureau (FLYSB) $5,000.00
North Anoka Meals on Wheels $3,733.00
Rise $2,500.00
City Projects:
Lino Lakes Senior Coordinator Program
(Wages, PERA, FICA, Mileage, Classes) $16,044.00
Total Requests $37,605.00
Mr. Schumacher noted that several of the above mentioned organizations have previously
submitted their request in writing and a copy of each request was included in the Council
packets. He also noted that representatives from several of the organizations are in the
PAGE 16
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
audience and may wish to present further information regarding the purpose of their
organization. The representative from Rise has the flu today and is unable to attend this
public hearing. He may be able to attend the next Council work session.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 7:45 P.M.
Pat Prinzevalle, Executive Director of Alexandra House, Inc. explained that
Alexandra House provides emergency shelter, support services and community advocacy
services to battered women and their children in Anoka County. Alexandra House is
requesting $5,000.00 to continue the intervention services in Lino Lakes She noted that
they have been extremely successful in working with the Lino Lakes Police Department.
Intervention service provides information to victims and helps them go through the legal
system. In addition, Alexandra House provides training to new police officers and other
training to the police department.
Ms. Prinzevalle noted that Alexandra House provided residential services to more than
110 women and children as well as providing intervention services, community
education, violence prevention services and community advocacy services to more than
9,500 people in Anoka County. Alexandra House provided 36 types of services to 29
women from Lino Lakes. Ms. Prinzevalle explained that if the City decides not to fund
the $5,000.00 request, these services will not be available for Lino Lakes citizens. She
also noted that the $5,000.00 is only part of the cost of the program.
Council Member Kuether said that she noted that Alexandra House is requesting funding
from several Anoka County cities and asked how the dollar request was calculated. Ms.
Prinzevalle explained that the amount is based on the number of clients served. She also
noted that it becomes known that the service is available, more and more people will be
requesting the service.
Ms. Prinzevalle thanked the City Council for past support and for considering this request
from Alexandra House.
Llyod Knutson, Forest Lake Area Youth Service Bureau - Mr. Knutson presented
additional packet information to the City Council and noted that the Youth Service
Bureau services portions of Washington, Anoka, Chisago, Isanti and Pine counties. The
purpose of the Youth Services Bureau is to serve the needs of youth and families in the
elementary and high schools. Services and programs are offered in various locations.
The handout lists the various types of services that are provided by the Youth Service
Bureau. In 1995, 1313 1/2 hours of direct service was provided to 698 youth from the
community of Lino Lakes. Presently, the Youth Service Bureau is working in the Forest
Lake School District which includes Lino Lakes Elementary school. Services are also
provided to the Centerville school. The Youth Service Bureau works with the Lino Lakes
Police Department and Chief Pecchia is a member of the board of directors.
PAGE 17
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Mr. Knutson explained that the Youth Service Bureau is requesting $5,000.00. He noted
other cities and townships who also help fund these services.
Council Member Lyden asked for further information regarding specific programs
provided by the Youth Service Bureau. Mr. Knutson explained that Ms. Laurie Olson
can provided this information as well as Chief Pecchia.
Council Member Kuether noted that she was aware that the Lino Lakes Police Officer
working in the Centennial School system mentioned working with the Youth Service
Bureau. She asked Mr. Knutson if this officer is working directly with the Youth Service
Bureau. Mr. Knutson said yes, the Youth Service Bureau also works directly with the
police liaisons in the Forest Lake schools. Ms. Olson explained that the Lino Lakes
Officer in the Centennial School system makes direct referrals to the Youth Service
Bureau. Mr. Knutson noted that the program has expanded outside of the Forest Lake
school system. Ms. Olson said that in 1989 the Youth Service Bureau served 89 Lino
Lakes children and in 1995 they served 678 children. She explained that the Youth
Service Bureau is trying to address the violence prevention issue and the self esteem
issue. Staff has increased staff and now includes four (4) full-time counselors, two (2)
full-time office persons and a full-time executive director.
Council Member Neal complimented the program of the Youth Service Bureau.
Maggi Novak, North Anoka Meals on Wheels - Ms. Novak explained that the City
Council gave some of the CDBG dollars to Meals on Wheels last year to help fund the
site coordinator for this area and to provide meals to seniors and handicap persons under
60 years of age. She asked the City Council to consider funding for this year. Ms. Novak
noted that there has been a large increase in requests for their services. Currently Meals
on Wheels is serving approximately 70 meals per day and 30 meals are served from the
site in Lino Lakes. Ms. Novak explained the need for the service and noted that there has
not been a lot of community support for the program.
Council Member Kuether asked Ms. Novak why the requests from each city is the same
amount. Ms. Novak explained that unfortunately, some cities do not support the
program. This method of requesting funding hopefully will cover the need. She noted
that other funding comes from the federal and state government, USDA reimbursement,
civic organizations, private donations and 30% comes from the client. Ms. Novak noted
that the federal and state funding is not very stable and cuts in the program are likely for
this year.
Mayor Landers thanked Ms. Novak for coming this evening.
Phyllis Linder, Senior Outreach Work, Anoka County Community Action Program,
Inc. (ACCAP) - Ms. Linder explained that their senior outreach program links seniors
and disabled adults to support services to help the clients remain in their homes. The
needs of the senior or disabled adult are assessed in their homes and help is provided to
PAGE 18
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
them to complete the necessary paper work and refer them to the proper services.
ACCAP visited 34 households in Lino Lakes during 1995 with 55 follow-up visits. One
hundred sixty three referrals were made to the more than 40 programs or agencies that
ACCAP is involved with. The goal of the program is to prevent unnecessary or
premature nursing home occupation. Ms. Linder thanked the City Council for their
current support and asked the Council to continue that support.
Council Member Neal asked if a person who is now living in their own home and is
receiving heat assistance, moved into a senior cottage and paid rent, would the heat
assistance be terminated. Ms. Linder said that heat is usually included in the rent and the
heat assistance would terminate. However, if a persons income is low enough to qualify
for heat assistance, this amount can be used for payment of the electricity. The assistance
could not be used to pay the telephone bill.
Mayor Landers thanked Ms. Linder for coming this evening.
Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 8:10 P.M. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
No action is required on this matter this evening. The City Council will be discussing
this matter at their February 7, 1996 work session and action can be taken at the next
Council meeting, February 12, 1996.
PUBLIC HEARING, CLEARWATER CREEK TRUNK UTILITIES, DAVID
AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that this public hearing is for the trunk utility improvements that
will serve the Clearwater Creek development area. He used the overhead projector and
showed the location of the Clearwater Creek development area. This development area is
being considered by the City to be enhance the City's commercial tax base. A feasibility
report for this project was received by the City Council on December 18, 1995 at which
time the public hearing was scheduled for this meeting.
This development area will be constructed according to Chapter 429 of the State Statutes.
The Lino Lakes City Charter does not affect development in the Clearwater Creek
development area.
Mr. Ahrens discussed the proposed improvement. The trunk water main will be extended
from the existing pump house toward I35E and also east toward the middle of the
development area and then north to Main Street. The trunk sanitary sewer line will be
extended from the lift station which will be constructed at the northwest corner of the
Clearwater Creek residential development toward the middle of the development area and
then north to Main Street. The sanitary sewer main will be constructed as deep as
possible to serve as much area as possible by gravity flow and reduce the need for lift
stations and other higher cost maintenance facilities. At this time water services will not
PAGE 19
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
be constructed with this project because a definite development proposal has not been
determined. Storm sewer and street construction will not be considered in this proposal.
Mr. Ahrens said maintenance impacts on the proposed improvement will be fairly limited
because the sanitary sewer system will be gravity and the water system will be like any
other normal water system in this City.
Mr. Ahrens discussed the project costs noting that the total project cost would be
$747,536.00. The project will be funded by the Area and Unit Fund and by assessment to
the benefiting properties north of Cedar Street.
The project schedule assumes that the City Council would authorize the improvement this
evening, plans and specification would be completed and presented to the City Council
on February 12, 1996, bids would be opened, considered and awarded at the first Council
meeting in March. Construction should be completed in May and the assessment hearing
held later in the summer, 1996. Agenda Item No. 7A, ordering the plans and
specifications can be considered by the City Council following the conclusion of this
public hearing.
Council Member Lyden said that the City's cost would be approximately $200,000.00
which did not include streets. Mr. Ahrens said that this is correct. A separate report is
being prepared for the streets and storm sewer construction. This will be presented to the
City Council later this spring. He noted that the roadway will be a joint venture between
the City and the County and the storm sewer construction will be assessed to the property
owners.
Council Member Lyden said it is obvious that the City should increase its tax base, and
asked if there has been a projection of when the City will break even financially. Mr.
Ahrens said that staff does not look at the tax benefits or gains from the development.
Staff looks at what the City assesses for area and unit charges as developments are
constructed. The Area and Unit Fund collects charges per acre and unit. The City will
more than recoup its projected cost of $200,000.00 as the area develops. Council
Member Lyden asked what the timetable is for start making positive dollars. Mr. Ahrens
said it could be this summer, Mr. Wessel is working on a couple of proposals to be
constructed in this area this summer.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 8:21 P.M.
Karen Cunningham, 2310 Cedar Street - Ms. Cunningham asked Mr. Ahrens to show
her on the map where the utilities will be constructed and where her driveway is on the
south side of Cedar Street. Mr. Ahrens explained that the utility construction will come
from the west to near her driveway and then it will turn north. Ms. Cunningham said that
she has a lot of concerns about this construction and other concerns regarding the
development that has been taking place along her west property line. Ms. Cunningham
said that one concern is the road (Cedar Street). There will be a lot more traffic and there
PAGE 20
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
will be problems with the dirt road (Cedar Street). She said she loves the dirt road and
the rural area. Her family has horses and ride horses on the dirt road. Ms. Cunningham
explained that during the last construction season, Cedar Street was closed without telling
her family. She had problems because her child had to walk a long way to catch the bus.
She hoped that these concerns will be looked at and that someone (engineer) will notify
her before this happens again. Ms. Cunningham said it was very unnerving not knowing
if her child got on the bus let alone made it down to the bus stop. She felt that she did not
have to watch what is going on. Ms. Cunningham said that she had to call the engineer to
let him know that the signs were down, that they were frozen into the ground, that the ruts
on Elmcrest were so deep that the bottom of her van was hitting the road. She thought
that these things should have been under surveillance all the time and that she should not
have to call the engineer to report these situations. Ms. Cunningham said she was
concerned because people in four-wheel drive pickups were getting stuck. She felt that
this would not have happened if the road signs were up. Ms. Cunningham said she felt
these types of things should be looked at daily for the sake of safety.
Mr. Ahrens said that he was surprised that these concerns were not addressed because
there were inspectors on the job at all times. Ms. Cunningham said that when she made
the telephone call, everyone was very polite. She asked why did she had to make the
telephone call, she did not think it was up to her to do.
Council Member Neal suggested that when police patrols, who would be in the area, call
the City Engineer and let him know what the situation is. Mr. Ahrens said that he did not
think that this would be necessary because there are inspectors on the job. He said that
anything staff can do will be done. Ms. Cunningham said that she feels that she has a
good working relationship with Mr. Powell however, she felt bad because she had to be
the person to make the telephone calls and hopefully she made him aware of the problems
before someone got hurt or stuck or whatever.
Ms. Cunningham said that there is a sign up against a tree on the north side of Cedar
Street between Otter Lake Road and Elmcrest. that says, "Prepare to Stop". She thinks
that the sign was removed during the construction and never replaced. Again she asked
why she should have to report these incidences.
Ms. Cunningham noted that since the Clearwater Creek subdivision started, a stop sign
has been posted at Cedar and Elmcrest. She said that was great because there is a lot
more traffic. Ms. Cunningham noted that a speed limit sign has been posted on Cedar
Street. Mr. Ahrens said that these signs are the result of a speed study that was completed
jointly by the City of Hugo and Lino Lakes. In addition, Hugo posted several signs
where Elmcrest has some curves. Ms. Cunningham asked why isn't there a speed limit
sign going down Cedar toward Elmcrest? She thought it should be a lot less than 45 mph
because there is lot more traffic coming from the Clearwater Creek development, toward
her driveway with horses and the "curvy" roadway on Elmcrest. Mr. Ahrens said he did
not remember the exact details of the speed study but he will review it. He also explained
PAGE 21
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
how the state sets speed limits. Mayor Landers noted that the speed limits are set by the
state and not the City.
Ms. Cunningham asked if Cedar Street will be paved or curb and gutter installed. Mr.
Ahrens said that there has been no official action or even discussion on this matter. Ms.
Cunningham asked if there have been any official police patrols on the new roads in
Clearwater Creek? She asked if the roads were public roads and if anybody can drive on
them. Mr. Ahrens said that this is not a private development, however, some streets are
still under construction. Ms. Cunningham said that she heard snowmobiles and wondered
if anyone was watching. Mr. Ahrens said it is part of regular police patrol.
Ms. Cunningham said she assumes that the proposed trunk utility extension is because
some commercial development is being planned. She asked what the City looks for when
determining what businesses can locate in this area. Does the City look at this area as a
rural environment and that the residents are use to the quietness? Since the home
construction started, it is not quiet or dark anymore. Are these aesthetics considered
when staff is determining if a business is suitable for this area? She also asked what are
the hours that construction workers can work, who do these businesses attract as
employees and clientele and what kind of traffic will they generate? Ms. LaForest
explained that the Community Development Department has compiled a list of criteria to
judge every prospective business. The prospective business also has to meet the design
criteria of the zoning district which include lighting restrictions. In addition, the past
financial history of the company is examined to determine if it is a stable company. The
City is being selective in the types of development that will be located in Lino Lakes.
Ms. Cunningham said that she and her neighbors are going through a big change so it
would be nice to move into development slowly and get something that will compliment
what is already here. Ms. LaForest said that any development on Cedar Street will be
required to install buffers such as landscaping, etc.
Ms. Cunningham said that she understands that the area south of Cedar Street is protected
by the City Charter. Mr. Ahrens said that this is true and the area outside of the
Clearwater Creek subdivision is not in the MUSA and cannot receive sanitary sewer
service.
Mayor Landers referred to the plan to extend sewer service north from Cedar Street for
anticipated commercial development and asked when construction would be begin. Mr.
Ahrens said if the proposed schedule is followed, Cedar Street will be closed during the
period of time when the sewer line is constructed across Cedar Street. Ms. Cunningham
noted that the children will still be in school. She explained that when Cedar Street was
closed for construction in the Clearwater Creek subdivision, nobody on her street was
notified and the children were unable to get to the school bus. (The school bus travels
north on Otter Lake Road to Cedar Street, east on Cedar Street to Elmcrest then north to
Main Street.) Ms. Cunningham said that this was very disturbing. Mr. Ahrens explained
that the City will have to keep the road open for school bus service and for emergency
vehicles. Ms. Cunningham noted that Cedar Street was in very poor condition before
PAGE 22
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
winter came and it froze and some gravel was laid down. She said that Cedar Street will
be a problem when it thaws in the spring.
Ms. Cunningham said that she had stated all of her concerns and hoped that the City
would keep as much of the rural environment as possible. She said that she hoped that
everybody could work together for the benefit of all. Council Member Kuether said that
the City Council will address the concern she stated at the Council work session
regarding the days and time construction workers can work on the project.
Council Member Bergeson moved to close the public hearing at 8:40 P.M. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 07 Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the
Clearwater Trunk Utilities - The improvement involves the construction of trunk
sanitary sewer and watermain to serve the portion of the Clearwater Creek Development
Center located between Cedar Street and Main Street, east of I35E. These utilities would
provide service to support development of the business sites in that area. This resolution
will order preparation of plans and specifications in time to allow the improvements to be
completed in the summer of 1996.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 96 - 07 Ordering Preparation
of Plans and Specifications for the Clearwater Creek Trunk Utility Improvements.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 07 can be found at the end of these minutes.
PUBLIC HEARING, ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK NO. 2, DAVID
AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that the feasibility report for this project was received by the Lino
Lakes City Council December 18, 1995, at which time the public hearing was scheduled
for the January 22, 1996 Council meeting. He said that Mr. Kurt Johnson, TKDA is
present to discuss the feasibility report and answer questions from the City Council and
the public.
Mr. Johnson explained that this project is the construction of an elevated water storage
tank. The tank will be located in the search area bordered by Main Street to the north and
Cedar Street to the south, Otter Lake Road to the west and 24th Avenue (Elmcrest) to the
east. He used the overhead projector and showed four (4) different types of elevated
water storage tanks. Mr. Johnson described each tank and discussed the advantages and
disadvantages of each tank.
The project consists of the construction of a foundation to set the structure on and the
tank itself. When the water tank is constructed, it will be painted and put into service.
PAGE 23
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
The total cost of the project is estimated to be $1,210,000.00. The tank should be
completed and in service by June 15, 1997. The cost will not be assessed to property
owners and will be financed by a twenty (20) year revenue bond. The location of the tank
will be located in a rural area and not in a developed neighborhood.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 9:02 P.M.
Karen Cunningham, 2310 Cedar Street - Ms. Cunningham asked if any of the drainage
from the development in the area is going into Clearwater Creek. Mr. Ahrens explained
that some of the drainage will go into Clearwater Creek since that is the natural drainage
area. The developer will be required to construct detention ponds and manage the run-off
from developments prior to entering into Clearwater Creek. The Rice Creek Watershed
District (RCWD) will review and approve all drainage plans prior to the start of
construction. The run-off will be treated before it enters Clearwater Creek. Ms.
Cunningham asked if, before this project begins, can someone look into RCWD's
responsibilities. She said that she has talked to RCWD a number of times about the ditch
(Clearwater Creek) improvement that was suppose to happen when the Clearwater Creek
residential subdivision was started. RCWD told her that Clearwater Creek is not their
primary concern, however, it is "in the works". Ms. Cunningham talked to the City
Council about her concerns with Clearwater Creek. She was told that her concerns were
going to be addressed by the RCWD. Ms. Cunningham said she feels that the City has to
look at Clearwater Creek as well. There were problems because the culvert was plugged.
She said that supposedly the culvert was fixed, however, she has not seen any difference
and does not know how it was fixed. Ms. Cunningham said the RCWD told her that the
ditch that runs through her property and then into Clearwater Creek is going to be
drained. She said that only so much water can be dumped into Clearwater Creek before it
starts backing up and there will be problems with fields, pastures, houses and private
septic systems. Ms. Cunningham said she felt that she has to stay on top of things and
said that is something that the City Council should be looking at. She said that she has
stressed this concern so many times and does not know what to do anymore. Ms.
Cunningham said that she hoped that the drainage concern is being addressed very
carefully and that the first problem is resolved before a second problem arises. Mr.
Ahrens said that RCWD completed a study of the Clearwater Creek channel and prepared
an inventory of all the problem areas they found. The report says that they need to do
some work in that area. He said some other studies of that area also indicate that work is
needed in this Clearwater Creek area. Although he has not seen any plans, it is his
understanding that the work will be done this summer. Ms. Cunningham asked if this
could be done before more development takes place because the situation is going to
become worse. Mr. Ahrens said that the City will address this when they look at storm
sewer issues and street improvements in this area. Part of the storm sewer improvement
will be a study of Clearwater Creek, how much can the creek hold, what the City needs to
do for ponding, how much has to be done to enhance the flood plain and other issues.
PAGE 24
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Council Member Lyden said that he shared Ms. Cunningham concern about some of the
ditches in the City because they are very full. Ms. Cunningham said that the ditches are
in need of repair and suggested that they be repaired before there is any more damage.
Council Member Lyden noted RCWD says they are managing the rate of water going
into the ditches, however, there is no managing the volume of water that is increased and
this is an issue that RCWD is dealing with and he felt the City should also deal with this
concern. Ms. Cunningham asked the City to make sure that the ditches do not get plugged
while the construction is going on.
Ms. Cunningham asked why the City is considering a water tower now when there is
already a water station in the Clearwater Creek subdivision. Mr. Ahrens said that the
water tower, well and pump house work hand in hand. The well is pulling the water from
the ground and pushes it into the tank. The tank keeps constant pressure and provides
adequate water available for safety reasons.
Amy Donlin, 6100 Centerville Road - Ms. Donlin said that she heard that the City of
Hugo had a water tower not too far from Clearwater Creek which was only at 10%
capacity. She asked if it was out of the question to share with another nearby city? Is a
million dollar water project necessary? Ms. Donlin said she would like to be convenience
that this City has to spend a million dollars on another water tower so close to Centerville
and Hugo. Ms. Donlin said that she would not want to build a $250,000.00 house
anywhere in the proximity of a big water tower. She thought a water tower would
diminish the values of those homes. Ms. Donlin noted that a water tower cannot be hid
by a berm or trees and this would diminish the aesthetic value of the neighborhood. Mr.
Ahrens said that the water tower will be in place before most of the homes are
constructed and sold. People purchasing the homes will be able to see the water tower.
He noted that typically water towers are located in residential areas and cited the water
tower in Shoreview as an example. Mr. Ahrens explained that the Hugo water tower is
too small for the future needs of Lino Lakes. That water tower is some distance from
Lino Lakes and that would make construction of a water main from that facility very
expensive. Ultimately, Lino Lakes will need this water tower so connecting to Hugo's
water tower would be a waste of dollars even though it may save a few years. Mr.
Ahrens explained that the City approached the City of Centerville to see if they are
interested in sharing the Lino Lakes water tower. There is a possibility of sharing
facilities with Centerville.
Ms. Donlin said that she did not see the heron logo on the Lino Lakes water tower. Ms.
LaForest said it is coming and there will be a presentation to staff tomorrow on the use of
the logo.
Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 9:08 P.M. Council Member
Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
No action is needed by the City Council this evening.
PAGE 25
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
Resolution No. 96 - 08 Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the
Elevated Water Storage Tank No. 2 - Mr. Ahrens explained that this resolution will
order plans and specifications for the City's second water storage tank to be located in the
Clearwater Creek area. This project is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Water
System Plan. The schedule call for the plans and specifications to be ordered this evening
and brought to the City council on February 26, 1996.
Mr. Ahrens explained that plans and specifications call for a water storage tank with a
fluted column similar to the first water storage tank. There will be space inside the base
for other uses such as a police substation, storage etc. Mr. Ahrens said that the potential
use should be decided so that the use can be included in the design.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 08 Ordering Plans and
Specifications for the Elevated Water Storage Tank No. 2 with a fluted base. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96-08 can be found at the end of these minutes.
The City Council took a break from 9:12 P.M. to 9:23 P.M.
CONSIDERATION OF THE YEAR END BUILDING DEPARTMENT REPORT,
PETER KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel explained that 1995 was a fairly busy year for the Building Department in
Lino Lakes. A total of 598 building permits were issued. This is 32 more than the
previous year. Total construction valuation was $40,636,691.00. This exceeded the 1994
total by $14,000,000.00. This increased valuation was mainly attributed to the increased
industrial and institutional growth experienced in 1995. There were 213 new homes
constructed which is a decrease of four (4) from the previous year. Seventy eight (78)
units were the Wenzel Farms townhomes and Willow Ponds senior dwellings. The
average construction cost of a single family dwelling was $122,896.00. The City issued
16 commercial, industrial, and institutional building permits totaling $11,694,150.00.
This figure represents a considerable increase over the 1994 total of two (2) permits
valued at $172,000.00. Some of the more significant building projects in 1995 were the
chemical dependency building at the Minnesota Correctional Facility ($6,519,000.00),
the Nol Tech building, the Mag Con building and the Blue Heron building in the Apollo
Business park. The Living Waters Lutheran Church addition was constructed and there
was remodeling at the Minnesota Correctional Facility. Molin Concrete remodeled some
of their facility and the Oasis Market was completely reconstructed. In addition there
were three (3) permits issued for the Teleport facility on Holly Drive.
Mr. Kluegel said, in 1996, he expects the residential construction activity to equal that of
1995. In addition, there are some proposed projects planned in the institutional and
PAGE 26
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22,1996
industrial areas. A proposed middle school, an industrial building at I35E and expansion
at the Minnesota Correctional Facility are all proposed for construction in 1996.
Mr. Kluegel presented a graph of building activity in Lino Lakes beginning in 1988 and
noted that residential building has stabilized near 200 new homes per year. He anticipates
this trend to continue.
Council Member Bergeson noted that all the institutional construction is exempt and not
taxed.
Council Member Kuether moved to accept the 1995 Building Officials Report. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 96 - 09 AMENDING THE
CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT, II, FIRE
CHIEF MILO BENNETT
Chief Bennett proposed a resolution to modify the Joint Powers Agreement that governs
the Centennial Fire District. He explained that the Centennial Fire District operates under
a Joint Powers Agreement between the cities of Lino Lakes, Circle Pines and Centerville.
A Steering Committee consisting of two (2) members from each city oversee the
operation of the Fire District. The proposed modification will have to be approved by all
three (3) cities. Chief Bennett said this would be done in the very near future.
The proposed changes to the Joint Powers Agreement include Section 2.5, Quorum and
deletion of Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 which describes the Balancing Formula. Section 2.5
requires five (5) of the six (6) regular committee members to be present for a quorum to
conduct business. Resolution No. 96 - 09 changes this provision tso that four (4) of six
(6) committee members be present with the addition that each municipality must be
represented at the meeting. Chief Bennett explained that there have been instances when
the Steering Committee was unable to conduct business because of a lack of quorum.
The second modification involves deleting Sections 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 which defines the
balancing formula that affects the funding from each of the cities. The main formula sets
up funding requirements based on the five (5) year average of "runs" for a city, the
population and the market value which all represents the actual history, the people and
the property which the Fire District protects. In addition, there is a balancing formula
that attempts to make sure that a home in one city pays about the same in property taxes
as a similar home in the other two (2) cities. Chief Bennett would like to remove this
section since it does not insure this equity. He outlined the formula for funding noting it
is unpredictable and throws the formula out of balance. In fact, the formula does the
opposite of what it is intended to do. The formula has been used for the past five (5)
years and during four (4) of these years there has been a balancing adjustment paid back
and forth between the cities. Chief Bennett said if the cities choose to delete this section
PAGE 27
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
of the Joint Powers Agreement, it would make sense to go back and straightened out
what has happened in the past five (5) years.
Chief Bennett noted that if his recommended changes are approved, some sections of the
Joint Power Agreement will have to be renumbered.
Chief Bennett explained that if the balancing formula is repealed as he is recommending,
that because the City of Lino Lakes has received money under the balancing formula for a
four (4) year period, that Lino Lakes would have to pay it back over a two (2) year
period. The amount to repay is $11,218.00 per year. Chief Bennett that this is less a
significant amount than what the City of Lino Lakes would have to pay under a balancing
formula for one year.
Chief Bennett said repeal of the balancing formula is in the best of all three (3) cities
because the amount is unpredictable and hard to justify.
Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Schumacher where the money will come from to
reimburse the other two (2) cities. Mr. Schumacher explained that the money is in the
1996 General Fund Budget and will be in the 1997 General Fund Budget.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 09 Amending the Centennial
Fire District Joint Powers Agreement. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 09 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS
Consideration of Accepting Bids, Marshan Lake Condominiums Street and Utility
Improvements - Mr. Ahrens explained that on December 18, 1995, the plans and
specifications for the Marshan Lake Condominium street and utility project were
approved and an advertisement for bids was ordered. Thirteen (13) bids were received
and opened on Thursday, January 18, 1996. He recommended that the City Council
accept the bids at this time and his recommendation that award of the contract take place
at the February 12, 1996 Council meeting.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Mr. Ahrens recommendation. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 03, Approve Plans and Specifications and
Order Advertisement for Bids, Pumphouse No. 3 - Mr. Ahrens explained that plans
and specifications for the well and pumphouse No. 3 were ordered at the September 26,
1995 City Council meeting. The well drilling was completed the first week of January,
1996. City Council action is requested to order the improvement, approve plans and
PAGE 28
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
specifications, and order the advertisement for bids for the construction of the
pumphouse. This well is located on the south side of Birch Street west of 12th Avenue.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 03. Council Member Kuether
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 03 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 04 Ordering Improvement, Approve Plans and
Specifications and Order Advertisement for Bids, Fourth Avenue Trunk Utilities -
Mr. Ahrens explained that Mr. Powell was scheduled to present this agenda item,
however Mr. Powell is sick. This project involves the extension of trunk sanitary sewer
and watermain along Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street to serve the Behm's Century Farm
Subdivision. The plans and specifications for this project were ordered by the City
Council on August 14, 1995. Construction of these improvements is scheduled to begin
in the spring of 1996. The contract for this project will be awarded only after the
developer of the subdivision submits adequate financial security for the assessments to
pay for the improvements.
A copy of the advertisement for bids has been sent to the Quad Press for publication
contingent upon the City Council's action tonight.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 04. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Council Member Bergeson asked if Mr. Ahrens statement
regarding securities for this subdivision should be included in the motion. Mr. Ahrens
said this could be included in the motion, however, it is not necessary because the City
has the ability to reject all bids.
Council Member Kuether asked why the securities are not in place. Mr. Ahrens
explained that there has been some discussion about selling the property to another
developer. There has been a lot of discussion on this matter, however, Mr. Schumacher
talked with Mr. Uhde last evening and was told there is only about a 5% chance that he
will sell the subdivision.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 04 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 05 Ordering Preparation of Report on
Improvement, Birch Street Watermain - Mr. Ahrens explained that this is also Mr.
Powell's presentation. The Comprehensive Water System Plan calls for the extension of
a trunk watermain to the ease side of I35E to provide service for future development
needs and to link the well and elevated storage tank in the Clearwater Creek area to the
remainder of the City system. This improvement would increase the integrity of the
City's water system and would allow easier maintenance of the wells. Mr. Ahrens
PAGE 29
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
recommended a report be prepared on this improvement to allow the City better
coordination of water system improvements to serve the Clearwater Creek Development
Center.
Council Member Bergeson asked how far will the watermain have to be extended. Mr.
Ahrens explained that it is about 10,000 feet and the watermain will be jacked under I35E
to the pumphouse.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 05. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 05 can be found at the end of these minutes.
OLD BUSINESS
Consideration of Appointing Rocky Keehn to the Vadnais Lake Area Water
Management Organization - Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Keehn has been the
Lino Lakes representative on this board for about a year. He is the person who prepared
the Lino Lakes Surface Water Management Plan. Mr. Keehn is employed by SEH, lives
in Lino Lakes and is well qualified for this position.
Council Member Kuether moved to appoint Mr. Keehn to the Vadnais Lake Area Water
Management Organization. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS
Consideration of an Application for Authorization for an Exemption from Lawful
Gambling License for St. Joseph Catholic Church - Mrs. Anderson explained that the
Minnesota gambling statutes allow non-profit organizations who conduct fewer than five
(5) gambling occasions per year to apply for an exemption from securing a gambling
license. St. Joseph Catholic Church conducts three (3) gambling occasions (bingo) each
year, therefore, a gambling license is not required. Mrs. Anderson recommended that the
City Council adopt a motion approving the application for exemption.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Mrs. Anderson's recommendation. Council
Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Tax Forfeit Properties in Lino Lakes - Mrs. Anderson explained that
five (5) parcels of property in the City of Lino Lakes have forfeited to the State of
Minnesota because of delinquent property taxes. All of the parcels are now in the
repurchase period which expires in May. If the parcels are not repurchased, they will be
sold at a County auction.
PAGE 30
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
The Anoka County Land Commissioner has asked the City Council to approve the
classification and sale of the parcels. The parcels include:
1. Outlot D, D. Erickson's Second Addition
2. Outlot E, D. Erickson's Second Addition
3. Outlot F, D. Erickson's Second Addition
4. A triangle parcel between Lots 12 and 13, Block 3, D. Erickson's Second
Addition
5. Lot 11, Block 2, Lino Air Park
Outlots D and E of D. Erickson's Second Addition are small parcels that were left over
when the subdivision was platted. The City Engineer and the Planning Coordinator agree
that there is no public use for these parcels and it is in the best interest of the City to
allow the parcels to be placed on the County auction.
Outlot F of D. Erickson's Second Addition is directly across Pheasant Run from the City
park. The Parks and Recreation Director has asked that this parcel be obtained by the
City to provide access to the ponding area to the west of Pheasant Run. Ice skating on the
pond has been considered.
The triangle parcel of land between Lots 12 and 13, Block 3 was created to correct a
problem that was created when a house was constructed to close to the lot line. Stewart
Homes, owner of Lot 12 requested the subdivision and the triangle parcel was to be
attached to Lot 12 with the consent of the owner of Lot 13, Stewart Homes did not
combine the triangle parcel with Lot 12 as was directed by the City Council. Since that
time ownership of Lot 12 has changed twice. The solution may be to allow the parcel to
forfeit so that it can be considered for the County auction. The County will then contact
the owner of Lot 12 and ask them to purchase the parcel. The County will require that
the parcel be combined with Lot 12.
Lot 11, Block 2, Lino Air Park is now part of Behm's Century Farm. Mr. Uhde
repurchased the lot to get clear title so that it could be included in the plat.
Mrs. Anderson asked the City Council to adopt her recommendations.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Mrs. Anderson's recommendations. Council
Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schumacher asked if the lot in the Lino Air Park is low ground. Mrs. Anderson
explained that if it is, it is not reflected on the half -section map. The lot has been
replatted into the Behm's Century Farm, First Addition. Mr. Uhde repurchased the lot so
that it could be included in the plat.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
PAGE 31
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 22, 1996
Consideration of the Renewal of the 1996 Solid Waste Agreement with the City of
Lexington - Mr. Schumacher explained that a renewal contract with the City of
Lexington has been drafted for providing Solid Waste Coordinator services to that city.
If ratified by the City of Lino Lakes, the Lino Lakes Solid Waste Coordinator will
continue providing similar services for the City of Lexington that occurs presently in
Lino Lakes.
The contract states the City of Lino Lakes will provide services to Lexington for a
maximum of 15 hours per week. The billing rate for services will be $12.65 per hour.
An office will be provided by both cities. The contract term is for one year and
automatically renewable for a one year term.
The City of Lexington approved renewing this contract at their December 7, 1995 council
meeting.
Mr. Schumacher recommended that the City Council ratify the Solid Waste Agreement
with the City of Lexington as presented.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Mr. Schumacher recommendation. Council
Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Lyden noted that Ms. Donlin had presented some growth information
for the City Council and asked if there was other information available for discussion at
the goal setting meeting. He had with him a listing of some resources available for about
$35.00. Council Member Lyden requested other resources that would outline different

DATE: 2/12/96
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 96-01 authorizing preparation of a
modified Tax Increment Financing Plan for TIF District 1-4 (Apollo Business
Center) to drop parcels from the District.
BACKGROUND:
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-4 was established in 1990, and i
comprised of four noncontiguous areas within the city. However, develo ent
within these areas did not come as quickly as anticipated The aging dis rict now
has no capacity left to allow the city to provide financial incentives to lig t
industrial prospects now interested in building within the Apollo Business Center.
Recent changes in legislation appear to have eliminated the barriers to removing
parcels from an aging district and combining them with another district, as long
as all the land is contiguous. This plan modification will remove all the parcels in
TIF District 1-4 except those already improved. Blue Heron and Emtech will be
the only two parcels remaining.
Once those parcels are removed from TIF District 1-4, the Apollo Business
Center property can be incorporated into Tax Increment Financing District 1-7.
This district was created in 1995 in the city -owned portion of the business park
and has nine years of capacity available. Several prospects are interested in the
Apollo Business Center, and this will allow the city to provide them with financial
assistance.
OPTIONS:
1. Authorize preparation of modification of Tax Increment Financing Plan for TIF
District No. 1-4 to remove all parcels from the district with the exception of Blue
Heron and Emtech.

Certain parcels, such as the G.M. Development property in the Apollo Business
Park, will be incorporated into TIF District 1-7 so that the city has capacity to
provide assistance.
Once the city council sets the hearing date, the modified plans will be sent to
School Districts 12 and 831, and Anoka County for review and comment.

TOPIC: Resolution No. 96-11 indicating preliminary intent to assist the financing

BACKGROUND:
The City of Lino Lakes has received a proposal from Taylor Corporation asking

facility to be located on 20 acres in the Clearwater Creek Development enter.
Taymark is a division of the Taylor Corporation which has a facility in White Bear

supplies, party goods and imprinted specialty products. Approximately 100
people with be employed in Phase 1 of the project The project will ultimately be
in the range of 200,000 square feet.
The Minnesota Municipal Industrial Development Act requires that the City

public hearing, approval of the project by the Minnesota Trade and Economic
Development Authority, approval by the city's bond counsel and the city council,
and the availability of revenue bond allocations.
While the allocations have been used up for 1996, the Taylor Corporation is

be in January of 1997. At that time the city can hold a public hearing and finalize
the issuance of the bonds.

312116.1
RESOLUTION RECITING A PROPOSAL FOR AN
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND TAKING OFFICIAL
ACTION WITH RESPECT THERETO AND INDICATING
PRELIMINARY INTENT TO ASSIST THE FINANCING
OF THE PROJECT PURSUANT TO THE MINNESOTA
MUNICIPAL INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ACT
WHEREAS,
(a) The purpose of Minnesota Statutes, Sections
469.152 through 469.165 known as the Minnesota Municipal
Industrial Development Act (the "Act") as found and determined by
the legislature is to promote the welfare of the state by the
active attraction and encouragement and development of
economically sound industry and commerce to prevent so far as
possible the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas
of chronic unemployment;
(b) Factors necessitating the active promotion and
development of economically sound industry and commerce are the
increasing concentration of population in the metropolitan areas
and the rapidly rising increase in the amount and cost of
governmental services required to meet the needs of the increased
population and the need for development of land use which will
provide an adequate tax base to finance these increased costs and
access to employment opportunities for such population;
(c) The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes (the
"City") has received a proposal from Taylor Corporation, a
Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), that the City assist in
financing a Project hereinafter described, through the issuance
of a Revenue Bond or Bonds or a Revenue Note or Notes in the
maximum aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 (hereinafter
referred to in this resolution as "Revenue Bonds") pursuant to
the Act;
(d) The City desires to facilitate the selective
development of the community, retain and improve the tax base and
help to provide the range of services and employment
opportunities required by the population; and the Project will
assist the City in achieving those objectives. The Project will
help to increase tax capacities of the City and surrounding area
and help maintain a positive relationship between tax capacities
and debt and enhance the image and reputation of the community;
(e) The Project to be financed by the Revenue Bonds is
an approximately 150,000 square foot manufacturing facility to be
located at the I-35 and County Road 14 interchange, Lino Lakes,
Minnesota and consists of the acquisition of land and
312116.1
improvements thereon and the construction and equipping of the
facility for Taymark (an operating division of the Company), and
will result in the employment of additional persons to work
within the facilities;
(f) The City has been advised by representatives of
the Company that conventional, commercial financing to pay the
capital cost of the Project is available only on a limited basis
and at such high costs of borrowing that the economic feasibility
of operating the Project would be significantly reduced;
(g) No public official of the City has either a direct
or indirect financial interest in the Project nor will any public
official either directly or indirectly benefit financially from
the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Council hereby indicates its preliminary intent to
undertake the Project pursuant to the Minnesota Municipal
Industrial Development Act and to issue the Revenue Bonds in the
maximum aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000 pursuant to the
Act to finance the Project.
2. On the basis of information available to this Council it
appears, and the Council hereby finds, that the Project
constitutes properties, real and personal, used or useful in
connection with one or more revenue producing enterprises engaged
in any business within the meaning of Subdivision la of Section
469.153 of the Act; that the Project furthers the purposes stated
in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.152; that the availability of
the financing under the Act and willingness of the City to
furnish such financing will be a substantial inducement to
Company to undertake the Project, and that the effect of the
Project, if undertaken, will be to encourage the development of
economically sound industry and commerce, to assist in the
prevention of the emergence of blighted and marginal land, to
help prevent chronic unemployment, to help the City retain and
improve the tax base and to provide the range of service and
employment opportunities required by the population, to help
prevent the movement of talented and educated persons out of the
state and to areas within the State where their services may not
be as effectively used, to promote more intensive development and
use of land within the City and eventually to increase the tax
base of the community.
3. The issuance of the Revenue Bonds by the City is subject
to, among other things, (a) the holding of a public hearing on
the proposal, (b) the approval of the Project by the Minnesota
312116.1
2
Trade and Economic Development Authority (the "Authority"), (c)
review and approval of the proposed Project by the City's Bond
Counsel, (d) the availability of an allocation for the issuance
of tax exempt obligations, and (e) final approval by this
Council, the Company, and the purchaser of the Revenue Bonds as
to the ultimate details of the financing of the Project.
4. Company has agreed and it is hereby determined that any
and all costs incurred by the City in connection with the
financing of the Project whether or not the Project is carried to
completion and whether or not approved by the City will be paid
by Company.
5. Nothing in this resolution or in the documents prepared
pursuant hereto shall authorize the expenditure of any municipal
funds on the Project other than the revenues derived from the
Project or otherwise granted to the City for this purpose. The
Revenue Bonds shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance,
legal or equitable, upon any property or funds of the City except
the revenue and proceeds pledged to the payment thereof, nor
shall the City be subject to any liability thereon. The holder
of the Revenue Bonds shall never have the right to compel any
exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay the outstanding
principal on the Revenue Bonds or the interest thereon, or to
enforce payment thereof against any property of the City. The
Revenue Bonds shall recite in substance that the Revenue Bonds,
including interest thereon, is payable solely from the revenue
and proceeds pledged to the payment thereof. The Revenue Bonds
shall not constitute a debt of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory limitation.
6. It is the purpose of this resolution to evidence the
commitment of the parties and their intentions with respect to
the proposed Project in order that the Company may proceed
without delay with the commencement of the acquisition,
installation and construction of the Project with the assurance
that there has been sufficient "official action" within the
meaning -of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to
allow for the issuance of industrial revenue bonds (including, if
deemed appropriate, any interim note or notes to provide
temporary financing thereof) to finance the entire cost of the
Project upon agreement being reached as to the ultimate details
of the Project and its financing.
7. In anticipation of the final approval by the City of the
issuance of the Revenue Bonds to finance all or a portion of the
Project, and in order that completion of the Project will not be
unduly delayed when approved, the Company is hereby authorized to
make such expenditures and advances toward payment of that
portion of the costs of the Project to be financed from the
312116.1 3
proceeds of the Revenue Bonds as Company considers necessary,
including the use of interim, short-term financing, subject to
reimbursement from the proceeds of the Revenue Bonds if and when
delivered but otherwise without liability on the part of the
City.

February 9, 1996
96-1-S, Anoka County Corrections, 7555 4th q 41"
Avenue, Site Plan Review
OV) V)(41L,v
Anoka County would like to construct a 36 bed Juvenile Detention
Center, approximately 10,600 square feet in area, on its property QJft
at 7555 4th Avenue (south/west corner of Lilac and 4th Avenue) .
The building will be used to secure and hold violent juvenile
offenders. The site currently contains two (2) juvenile detention
cottages, a juvenile shelter, and a 60 bed medium security facility
for adult county offenders (workhouse). The new County Project
Description is as follows:
The new building will be west of the existing shelter.
A secure connection to the shelter will allow dual use of
the existing gym. The Juvenile Shelter will get 400d
service from the State prison, just as the County
Juvenile Center does now. Visitors to the building will
park south of the building along with the staff.
Sanitary sewer and water will connect to nearby
utilities. Storm water will be directed to an existing
pond which will be enhanced.

Perimeter walls will be built of solid reinforced
concrete masonry. The exterior of the building will have
earth tone colors that will complement the existing
adjacent cottages and match the Juvenile Center, and have
a heavy landscape tree buffer to the north (much of it is
existing). Each entrance will be secured by remote
controlled doors and sally ports. The required outdoor
recreation areas will have tight -meshed chain link
material with a sloped top so as to be unclimable. No
"razor ribbon" will be used.
The facility will be licensed by the State Department of
Corrections and meet their standards for security. The
center is part of a state-wide expansion of juvenile
detention beds funded by the State of Minnesota.
The City's Police Department originally expressed concerns
regarding security and use of the facility. However, they have met
with County Corrections Staff and worked out an agreement that will
include special security services for the Lino Lakes Police
Department and a much needed holding cell on the County site.
County Corrections staff are also present this evening for any
questions Council may have.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
The property is Zoned PSP, Public/Semi-Public, and the Zoning
Ordinance provides that "all public buildings for county and state
government" are permitted uses. The site is approximately ten (10)
acres in size and owned by Anoka County. The State of Minnesota
owns the balance of this quarter section or roughly 150 acres.
The original site plan review request included a side yard variance
for 5' which would have allowed the building to be constructed 5'
from the west property line. There was much discussion at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting regarding this variance request.
The P & Z did recommend approval of the site plan, however, they
added a condition that the County pursue a land transfer with the
State of Minnesota which would ultimately eliminating the need for
a variance. After County consideration of this requirement, the
building size was modified so that a 10' setback could be
maintained.
Setbacks: The revised building plan meets all setback requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance, including the 10' side setback
requirement.
Building Height: A maximum height of 45' is allowed according to
the Ordinance. The proposed structure will be within that
requirement.
Landscaping/Buffering: A landscape plan has been provided which
indicates plantings at the entrance to the building. A large grove
of evergreen trees will screen the building from Lilac Road. The
County has indicated, to the State, that if any trees are removed
during construction, they will be replaced with 4" diameter trees.
In addition, the County will be installing an 8' high wood fence to
separate the County Juvenile Detention building from a State Adult
Facility to the west, as requested of the State.
Aesthetic Compatibility: The proposed structure will be
constructed of face brick and stucco to match the existing shelter
with brown tinted glass. The building will be substantially
screened from the east by the existing juvenile shelter.
Off -Street Parking: 18 Parking Stalls, including two handicapped
spaces, shall be provided south of the proposed new construction.
Additional parking is also provided elsewhere on the site and via
contract with the State Correctional Facility
Circulation and Access: Access to the site will be provided from
4th Avenue through the State Correctional Facility entrances.
Again, the County has an agreement with the State providing for
this access arrangement.
Loading and Trash: An adequately screened trash enclosure will be
provided south of the proposed structure.
Lighting: A lighting schedule has been provided which illustrates
the area surrounding the proposed building. However, the Planning
and Zoning Board have recommended that the County install street
lights at 4th Avenue and Apollo Drive, 4th Avenue and Lilac, Lilac
and Apollo Drive, and just east of Patti Drive on Lilac. The
purpose of the street lights is to provide adequate lighting in the
vicinity should there be a need in respect to the use of the
facilities.
Signs: Signage locations have been indicated on the site plan. We
would advise the applicant that sign permits will be required for
any signage which must comply to the City's Sign Ordinance.
Utilities, grading and drainage: Plans relating to utilities,
grading and drainage shall be subject to the review and approval of
the City Engineer. City sewer and water are available to serve
this site from 4th Avenue.
In summary, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of
the site plan at their January 10, 1996 meeting with the conditions
listed below. City Staff woul ad ondition that a Special
Security Services agreement be " pith the Lino Lakes Police
Department*
1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction,
the building permits shall include utilities fees as calculated by
the City Engineer.
2. Proper sign permits be obtained prior to any sign
installation.
3. Final utility, drainage and grading plans shall be approved
by the City Engineer.
4. The parking area shall be provided with a hard surface with
concrete curb and gutter surrounding all access drives and parking
areas.
5. Existing screening shall be maintained along Lilac
6. The County shall provide additional street lighting
following locations:
- 4th Avenue at Lilac Drive
- 4th Avenue at Apollo Drive
- Lilac Drive just east of Patti Drive
- Lilac Drive at Apollo Drive
Drive.
at the
note: Recommendation No. 7 indicated in the P & Z minutes from
1/10/96 may be eliminated as there is no longer a need for a
variance.

STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Nyland - Planning Coordinator
DATE February 8, 1996
TOPIC Clearwater Creek Easement Documents
The Clearwater Creek Plat received Final Plat Approval, from the
City Council, on November 13, 1995. A portion of the site has been
final graded and some revisions made to a ponding area adjacent to
Lots 8 and 9, Block 1 on Clearwater Creek Court. The revisions
were made to avoid a large Oak Tree. Easements are required over
all drainage and ponding areas and are typically shown on the final
plat and survey documents. Because this ponding area was revised
following final plat and does not following the platted easement,
new documents are required. The attached drawing provides a detail
of the revised easements.
Our Engineering Consultant, John Powell, has reviewed the easement
documents and has indicated that they are in order. We would,
therefore, recommend that the Council accept the two easement
documents as submitted.
1. Accept easement documents as presented.
2. Return to staff for further consideration.

Landscaping/Buffering: A landscape plan has been provided which
indicates plantings at the entrance to the building. A large grove
of evergreen trees will screen the building from Lilac Road. The
County has indicated, to the State, that if any trees are removed
during construction, they will be replaced with 4" diameter trees.
In addition, the County will be installing an 8' high wood fence to
separate the County Juvenile Detention building from a State Adult
Facility to the west, as requested of the State.
Aesthetic Compatibility: The proposed structure will be
constructed of face brick and stucco to match the existing shelter
with brown tinted glass. The building will be substantially
screened from the east by the existing juvenile shelter.
Off -Street Parking: 18 Parking Stalls, including two handicapped
spaces, shall be provided south of the proposed new construction.
Additional parking is also provided elsewhere on the site and via
contract with the State Correctional Facility.
Circulation and Access: Access to the site will be provided from
4th Avenue through the State Correctional Facility entrances.
Again, the County has an agreement with the State providing for
this access arrangement.
Loading and Trash: An adequately screened trash enclosure will be
provided south of the proposed structure.
Lighting: A lighting schedule has been provided which illustrates
the area surrounding the proposed building. However, the Planning
and Zoning Board have recommended that the County install street
lights at 4th Avenue and Apollo Drive, 4th Avenue and Lilac, Lilac
and Apollo Drive, and just east of Patti Drive on Lilac. The
purpose of the street lights is to provide adequate lighting in the
vicinity should there be a need in respect to the use of the
facilities.
Signs: Signage locations have been indicated on the site plan. We
would advise the applicant that sign permits will be required for
any signage which must comply to the City's Sign Ordinance.
Utilities, grading and drainage: Plans relating to utilities,
grading and drainage shall be subject to the review and approval of
the City Engineer. City sewer and water are available to serve
this site from 4th Avenue.
In summary, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of
the site plan at their January 10, 1996 meeting with the conditions
listed below. City Staff would add a condition that a Special
Security Services agreb n f e -c p3et d -with the Lino Lakes Police
Department; inGilg
items
1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction,
the building permits shall include utilities fees as calculated by
the City Engineer.
2. Proper sign permits be obtained prior to any sign
installation.
3. Final utility, drainage and grading plans shall be approved
by the City Engineer.
4. The parking area shall be provided with a hard surface with
concrete curb and gutter surrounding all access drives and parking
areas.
5. Existing screening shall be maintained along Lilac Drive.
6. The County shall provide additional street lighting at the
following locations:
- 4th Avenue at Lilac Drive
- 4th Avenue at Apollo Drive
- Lilac Drive just east of Patti Drive
- Lilac Drive at Apollo Drive
(0,1} -
note: Recommendation No. 7 indicated in the P & Z minutes from
1/10/96 may be eliminated as there is no longer a need for a
variance.

C. 96-1-S, Site Plan Review and Variance, Anoka County
Correction, 7555 4th Avenue, Juvenile Detention Facility
Planning Coordinator Wyland briefly reviewed the staff
report regarding the request of Anoka County Corrections
for site plan review and variance to allow construction
of a 36 bed Juvenile Detention Center, approximately
10,664 square feet in area, on its property at 7555 4th
Avenue (south/west corner of Lilac and 4th Avenue).
Additionally, they are requesting a five foot side yard
setback variance.
Ms. Wyland recommended approval of the site plan subject
to the following conditions:
1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to
construction, this building permit shall
include utility fees as calculated by the City
Engineer.
2. Proper sign permits shall be obtained prior to
any sign installation.
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
3. Final utility, drainage and grading plans
shall be approved by the City Engineer.
4. The parking area shall be provided with a hard
surface with concrete curb and gutter
surrounding all access drives and parking
areas.
5. Existing screening shall be maintained along
Lilac Drive.
6. The County shall provide additional street
lighting on 4th Avenue, Lilac Drive and Apollo
Drive as determined by the City Engineer in
conjunction with the Police Chief.
Ms. Wyland stated staff is suggesting the Planning and
Zoning Board recognize the variance but with the intent
of the express condition that Anoka County purchase the
required additional five feet from the State of
Minnesota. Anoka County has agreed to make a good faith
effort to acquire the necessary property.
Chair Schaps asked if the present facility had ever been
used to house violent offenders of any age.
Dan Ceynowa, Superintendent stated the facility has. The
current facility is licensed by the Department of
Corrections as a Secure Juvenile Center and is licensed
to house violent offenders. The proposed structure will
be licensed to house criminal offenders, some will be of
violent nature and others property offenses.
Chair Schaps asked if the intent was to seek a violent
crime house in Lino Lakes.
Mr. Ceynowa stated this facility would not be specific to
violent offenders.
Chair Schaps asked Mr. Ceynowa if he was aware of the
concerns expressed by the police department.
Mr. Ceynowa stated he and Chief Pechia would be meeting
on January 18 to discuss these concerns. He noted the
biggest concern would be to develop the emergency
response plans. This would relate to ambulance and fire
issues.
Chair Schaps asked since this was a state -funded project
operated by Anoka County, was it a profit or non-profit
business.
Mr. Ceynowa stated the project was funded 50% by the
State of Minnesota and 50, by Anoka County.
3
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
Chair Schaps asked how the structure would benefit Anoka
County and the City of Lino Lakes.
Mr. Ceynowa stated the area does not currently have a
maximum security facility. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties
have had such facilities for a long time and have had no
escapes at the facilities. Mr. Ceynowa reported the
building they are currently using is 32 years old. It
has been renovated to try to create maximum security. He
noted the benefit of a structure such as this was to
create a more secure alternative for Anoka County youth
and youths of other counties. There has been an increase
in the amount of serious juvenile crime and it is
important to improve the quality of security provided.
Chair Schaps asked how this facility would compare to the
facility in Red Wing or the St. Croix Camp.
Mr. Ceynowa stated St. Croix Camp is a minimal security
facility and Red Wing is classified as a medium security
facility.
Mr. Mesich asked how many jobs the facility would
provide.
Mr. Ceynowa stated the facility would employ
approximately 20 probation officers and detention
officers along with a superintendent, treatment
specialist and three teachers.
Chair Schaps questioned the land purchase issues.
Planning Coordinator Wyland suggested that rather than
grant the variance, since there is not the criteria to
grant the variance, it be made a condition of occupancy
of the building that the five foot issue be resolved.
Chair Schaps asked when the building would be ready to be
occupied.
Mr. Ceynowa stated the building should be ready in
approximately 16 months.
Planning Consultant Kirmis recommended the variance not
be granted due to the fact that it did not meet the
City's criteria. An alternative would be to approve the
site plan with a condition that the building not be
occupied until the building setback has been met or the
additional land required has been purchased.
Ms. Margaret Langfeld, Anoka County Commissioner, stated
similar situations exist where the County has been trying
to purchase land from the State of Minnesota for years
4
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
and the issues have not been resolved. She stated she
could not honestly say that the issue could be resolved
within 16 months.
Mr. Ceynowa expressed his concern that this could create
a situation of a four million dollar facility being
completed and not being allowed to be occupied. He noted
Anoka County is actively pursuing the purchase of the
land.
Mr. Johnson asked if the condition could be attached and
if in 16 months, the issue is not resolved, the time
period could be extended in some way. He also questioned
if such a condition would encourage the State of
Minnesota to resolve the issue more quickly.
Mr. Ceynowa noted Mr. Jerry Soma, Director of the
project, does have the intent to pursue the security of
the land but in many fashions has no control.
Mr. Mesich noted the Planning and Zoning Board had
granted variances for the size of buildings for a church
and a Dairy Queen due to the unique circumstances
involved. He stated he felt a variance could be
justified for the same reasons in this circumstance.
Chair Schaps asked about the City's request for
additional lighting.
Ms. Langfeld stated that issue would have to be
considered by the Anoka County Board and Public Works
Department. She stated their budget was extremely tight.
She noted some of the requested lights were a fair
distance away from the facility. She stated Anoka County
had agreed to pursue the issue.
Chair Schaps asked if a holding cell would be included in
the facility.
Mr. Langfeld stated this issue has been discussed in a
work session with the City Council. This is an issue for
many local governments and is hoped to be included in the
project. She stated the big issue surrounding this is
transportation.
Mr. Ceynowa stated there is a meeting scheduled with
Chief Pechia and hopefully a firm decision will be
reached prior to the City Council meeting.
Mr. Tom Dunwell, Architect, explained the reason the
facility was being located adjacent to the existing
Juvenile Center is that there is an existing gym which
would be shared by both facilities. There will be cells
5
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
on two levels. Due to security issues, the cells have to
be located on the side so as not to look at the rest of
the Juvenile Center. The size of the facility is
mandated by the State Correction Department and has been
reduced to the minimum allowed size. The property line
goes at an angle. The site is so restrictive that it
seems reasonable to allow a five foot variance.
Mr. Dunwell noted there is a considerable amount of open
space. He stated Anoka County does intend to actively
pursue the purchase of the necessary land but does not
feel the opening of the facility should be tied to
whether the County is successful or not. He reported
this project involves 11 other counties. The State of
Minnesota is helping to fund the project. The involved
counties worked together to determine the location that
would accommodate the largest at risk population. This
project was required to go through a pre -design admission
to justify the cost of the facility. The project saves
$1 million by locating here due to the road and gym being
in place. The funds for the project have now been
allocated. He stated he felt the five foot variance was
very necessary and should not affect the ability to go
ahead with this project.
Mr. Mesich asked at what point the architect became aware
of the five foot setback problem.
Mr. Dunwell stated when the project was first initiated,
they were intending to request a zero lot line. Now the
project has been fully designed on CAD and the project is
able to attain a five foot setback.
Mr. Mesich asked if the building could be flipped the
other direction.
Mr. Dunwell noted it could not due to the location of the
front main entrance and the need to face the cells away
from the adult facility.
Mr. Gelbmann asked how many of the 36 beds would be
allocated to Anoka County.
Mr. Ceynowa stated 33 beds total have been allocated.
Five of the beds have been allocated to Anoka County and
three beds have not been firmly contracted by other
counties.
Mr. Gelbmann asked what the average stay of an inmate
would be in this facility.
Mr. Ceynowa stated the facility had two purposes. One
was detention. This could require a two hour to a thirty
6
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
day stay. The other purpose was short term treatment.
This could require a stay of up to 90 days.
Mr. Gelbmann asked how many transports would be made per
day.
Mr. Ceynowa estimated approximately three to four
transports would be made per day.
Mr. Herr questioned the fencing that was proposed for the
outdoor activity area.
Mr. Dunwell stated a contemporary fencing system will be
used. This type of fence is being utilized in all
maximum facilities now because it does not have any razor
or ribbon wire fence. It is made with a curve and mesh
so tight that nothing can get in and gravity prohibits
the ability to get over. For security purposes, the
facility will also utilize direct supervision and
cameras.
Mr. Johnson noted in the long run it would be better to
move the property line than to grant the variance. He
would prefer to attach a condition rather than grant the
variance. If the condition is not met within 16 months,
it can again be considered and an extension granted or
other conditions be placed on anything else the State
wants to build.
William Johnson made a MOTION to approve application 96-
1-S, Anoka County Corrections, 7555 4th Avenue, Juvenile
Detention Facility Site Plan Review subject to conditions
1 through 6 as stated by staff and condition 7 that
proper setbacks be obtained by a land transfer prior to
issuance of a certificate of occupancy and the City of
Lino Lakes will consider an extension of time in which to
complete the purchase assuming the land purchase is not
completed in the stated amount of time and was supported
by Guy Herr. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
D. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - Metal Building
Ordinance
Chair Schaps noted staff has requested the public hearing
for this item be canceled. This item had been continued
since the October meeting. The plan is to incorporate
revisions to this section of the Zoning Ordinance into
the overall Zoning Ordinance Update rather than address
it as a separate item.
Al Robinson made a MOTION to close the Public Hearing at
7:45 p.m. on January 10, 1996 for the Metal Building
Ordinance and reopen and republish for the February 14
7
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JANUARY 10, 1996
meeting and was supported by Tom Mesich. All voted in
favor. Motion carried.
E. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING - Animal Ordinance
Chair Schaps noted staff had requested this item be
continued due to a city-wide neighborhood meeting
scheduled for January 18, 1996.
Planning Coordinator Wyland reported interested residents
will be members of the committee that is meeting on
January 18, 1996. A notice had been put in the paper to
advertise the meeting scheduled for January 18 at 6:00
p.m. at City Hall.
Rick Gelbmann made a MOTION to continue the Public
Hearing for Animal Ordinance until the February 14
meeting and was supported by William Johnson. All voted
in favor. Motion carried.
VI. DISCUSSION: Ms. Wyland reminded the Planning and Zoning
board members of a work session which was scheduled to
discuss the zoning ordinance on January 12 at 7:00 a.m.
Mayor Landers was present and stated he had met with
Centennial School and they have agreed to work to
determine the number of homes the City of Lino Lakes
could build and how many children could be contained in
the school district without adding undue stress to the
existing structures. White Bear School is in the process
of doing the same and information will be available by
the end of January. He stated he had talked with the
Forest Lake School District and they reported the child
population coming to them from Lino Lakes has decreased
in the past year. A joint meeting with the P & Z and
City Council will be scheduled for a later date to review
the School Districts input.
VII. ADJOURNMENT: Al Robinson made a MOTION to adjourn the
meeting at 7:52 p.m. and was supported by William
Johnson. All voted in favor. Motion carried.

AGENDA ITEM 9A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
DATE: 2/8/96
TOPIC: Consider Agreement for Professional Services - Water Tower Antenna Leasing,
Mr. John DuBois, P.E.
BACKGROUND:
The newest generation of wireless communication technology (Personal
Communication Service or PCS) is coming to the Metro area and will involve an
important role with each city. This new communciation service requires a greater
density of antennas than existing cellular technology and therefore, the communication
companies need to acquire new/additional antenna space. Mr. Jim Nelson, TEA
Group, Inc., has contacted the City concerning the lease of antenna space on the City's
water tower. Obvious antenna locations include municipal water towers due, to their
acceptance in communities and height advantages.
Since antenna lease agreements and the communication industry are unfamiliar with
staff, it is important that the City utilize specialized consulting services to rely upon as
discussions with the communication companies evolve. The installation of antennas
include specialized issues such as equitable compensation for tease of municipal space
and potential for interference to other radio and television users. Mr. John DuBois is a
Professional Communications Engineer with over 30 years of experience in radio
communications system engineering. He is currently assisting other municipalities in
the management of their water tower assets. Mr. DuBois has assisted numerous cities
in the metro area on this type of work, including Lakeville, Burnsville, Coon Rapids and
Brooklyn Park. The Consulting Engineer Agreement with Mr. DuBois will allow the City
to utilize his services on an "as -needed" basis for antenna leasing coordination. The
City Attorney has reviewed the Agreement and has found it acceptable.
Attached for Council's review is an article written -by the league of Minnesota Cities
concerning PCS communication service and the Consulting Engineer Agreement.
OPTIONS.
1. Return to staff for further review
2. Approve the Consulting Engineer Agreement between the Mr. John DuBois, P.E.
and the City of Lino Lakes.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council approve the Consulting Engineer Agreement between
the Mr. John DuBois, P.E. and the City of Lino Lakes.

TO: City Managers, Administrators
Twin Cities Metropolitan Area
FROM: Ann Higgins, IGR Representative
RE: Site Selection for Personal Communications Services (PCS) Systems
The newest generation of wireless communication technology is coming to Minnesota and cities
will play an integral role in its implementation. If you haven't yet heard about personal communications
services (PCS), you soon will.
Two companies, Sprint Telecommunications Venture and American Portable
Telecommunications are preparing to enter the Twin Cities market. Although PCS is similar to current
cellular technology, it must be implemented in a significantly different manner. The new technology will
require significantly greater antenna density than existing cellular technology. The siting of these new
antenna facilities will involve nearly all cities in the seven -county area.
Due to the intense planning and siting requirements of this new technology, both Sprint and
American Portable have engaged wireless commnnications consultants to gather information on local
zoning requirements and to evaluate and identify potential sites around the Twin City area. Last week,
League :staff met with representatives of these firms to learn about the technology and to ascertain if the
League could assist our members as this new technology is implemented.
Sprint is represented by SBA which is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida. American Portable
Telecommunications (APT) is represented by TEA Group, a telecommunications site selection company
from Atlanta, Georgia.
The League wants to assure that cities are favorably positioned to deal with this new technology.
The League would like to obtain copies of procedures, specific zoning requirements pertaining to
antenna, towers, and other related telecommunications infrastructure, as well as examples of
currently available lease agreements. Please send that information to the LMC office to the attention
of Jeanette Bach. Cities with previous experience in siting of microwave, cellular, and other
telecommunications facilities should also contact me directly to relay your city's perspective on these
regulatory and land -use policy concerns and willingness to provide information to other cities currently
considering requests for siting PCS facilities.
If you are interested in this or other telecommunications issues, the LMC Telecommunications
Task Force will continue to monitor telecommunications -related developments and provide a forum for
discussion on issues of importance to cities. The next scheduled task force meeting will be held at the
LMC Office from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m., on Friday, January 19.

BACKGROUND ON PERSONAL
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES (PCS)
The Federal Communications Commission has awarded two licenses for wireless digital personal
communications services (PCS) for much of the north central U.S., including Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, as well as portions of Wisconsin and Iowa. PCS digital communications services are
expected to enhance and compete with current cellular analog phone services. PCS will offer wide-
ranging, portable and versatile applications that will enable individuals and businesses to use secure,
accurate over -the -air paging, voice, fax, video and data transmission with the advantage of a single
phone number available at any location to which the transmission is sent - as long as the signals can be
received. FCC auctions of wireless spectrum will continue next March, with the possibility of two more
PCS licenses to be awarded for Minnesota and other areas in the north central portion of the country.
Receiving and transmitting those signals will depend on an extensive infrastructure, with many
more sites required for PCS antenna, towers, and smaller repeaters to provide the flexibility and
universality of service necessary for PCS to be fully operational in this area. Many more sites will be
required for PCS equipment than the type and number of towers required for cellular communications.
With that in mind, cities need to be prepared to consider local land use, zoning, lease agreements and
other site -related considerations when responding to site selection inquiries and requests.
With the expectation that increased affordability of PCS will drive down prices, those working
on behalf of new wireless communications providers insist that such services will replace land -line plain
old telephone service (POTS). Cellular phone services may be forced to change over from current
analog to digital technology in order to compete. As a result, more sites and equipment changes can be
anticipated.
In the November issue of the Louisiana Municipal Review published by the Louisiana Municipal
Association (LMA), an article describing the arrival of PCS technology in that state pointed out that the
industry will need to build as many as 100,000 new towers throughout the country over the next five
years. By comparison there are just 15,000 towers in place nationally for cellular communications.
The industry expects there to be as many as 160+ million PCS subscribers by 2003, compared
with 25 million cellular users. In Louisiana, efforts are underway to identify city property where towers
will be located. Using as much public property as possible reduces the impact on neighborhoods and
other portions of the community of the larger number of sites required by PCS providers. Co -location
also becomes a serious consideration in efforts to convince providers to place equipment on a single
tower, eliminating a number of sites which would otherwise be required.
The city of Huntsville, Alabama has completed a master lease agreement to receive 15 percent of
the gross lease revenues earned from use of PCS towers which are available as co -locations for other
providers. The city also anticipates using the towers for its own communications systems. Industry
spokesmen indicate that such facilities can be used for police communications, lighting posts for parks
and athletic fields and other uses.

WHAT IS PCS ALL ABOUT
AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT MINNESOTA
MUNICIPALITIES
By
Mr. Robert Erickson
City Administrator Lakeville, Minnesota
John R. DuBois Ph.D.
Minnesota Registered Professional Communications Engineer
Edina, Minnesota
The latest "buzz word" associated in the press and broadcast media with the
information superhighway concept is PCS or Personal Communications Services.
PCS is a term referring to communications services that enable people and devices to
communicate independent of location. PCS networks and devices operate over a wide
range of frequencies assigned and authorized by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The two major frequency spectrum ranges that include most of
the PCS are the 800-900 MHz band and the 1800-2000 MHz band.
BACKGROUND
PCS emerged in the past decade with the introduction of car phones, portable phones,
pagers and mobile fax products. But this was only the beginning of a wireless
revolution. Technology exists today to provide new PCS services such as telepoint,
wireless PBX and mobile data, as well as products which combine voice and data
services such as a personal digital assistant. With the completion of the FCC's recent
spectrum re -allocation and licensing process for new PCS services, the explosive
growth of wireless communications will continue. This growth will have a significant
impact in several areas upon Minnesota municipalities.
TERMS
A more complete list of PCS products and services includes:
Cellular Service - A PCS service that provides two-way voice and data
communications through hand-held, portable and car dash -mounted phones and
2
through wireless modems incorporated into devices such as laptop computers
and electronic notebooks. Cellular can offer enhanced features such as voice
mail and call waiting. Geographic coverage areas for cellular service are very
large and can cover cities, counties, entire states or even the entire United
States.
Data Service - The electronic transfer of data or digital information.
E -Mail - The electronic transfer and storage of written messages.
Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR) - A PCS service that is
anticipated to offer two-way voice and data communications through hand-held
and car mounted phones and through wireless modems incorporated into
devices such as portable computers and electronic notebooks. ESMR is
expected to offer many enhanced features, such as voice mail and call waiting.
Geographic service coverage areas are anticipated to be very large and may
cover cities, counties, entire states and even the entire United States.
Imaging - The transmission of still images such as faxes, pictures or slides
from all sources.
Mobile Data - A PCS service that is expected to provide two-way wireless
communications of text, voice messages and potentially video messages among
computers, personal digital assistants and databases. Mobile data services can
be provided by a number of technologies, such as cellular PTS, mobile satellite
and ESMR as well as networks built exclusively for data PCS applications.
Mobile Satellite - A PCS service that is anticipated to provide two-way voice
and data communications using satellites, hand-held phones and wireless
modems incorporated into devices such as notebook computers. It is expected
that Mobile Satellite services will offer enhanced features such as call waiting
and voice mail. Geographic service coverage is anticipated to be larger than
most PCS services and may even be world-wide.
Paging - A PCS service that provides primarily one-way voice and data
communications such as a voice or electronic message, or a data transfer to a
pager or a device such as a laptop computer with a built-in pager. Geographic
3
service coverage areas for paging are very large, with some paging providers
offering nation-wide coverage.
Personal Digital Assistant - A pocket sized device that processes phone calls
and messages and performs computer functions such as data entry or retrieving
information from a database.
Personal Mobility - A feature that may be offered by some PCS services
which tracks and makes calls and information to specific people rather than
specific locations.
Personal Number - A telephone number that is assigned to a person and not
a geographic location, such as a residence or a business.
Personal Telecommunications Services (PTS) - A PCS service that is
expected to provide two-way voice and data communications through hand-
held and car mounted phones and through wireless modems integrated into
computers and other devices such as electronic notebooks. PTS is anticipated
to offer many enhanced features such as voice mail and call waiting.
Geographic service areas for PTS are expected to be very large and may cover
cities, counties and entire states.
Smart Card - A credit card -like device capable of storing and transferring
information regarding the card's user to communications devices, such as hand-
held and car phones, notebook computers and personal digital assistants. This
information could include how the user would like phone calls handled, method
of payment and the user's personal number.
Telepoint - A PCS service that can provide either one or two-way voice and
data communications through hand-held phones and devices such as electronic
notebooks. It is anticipated that telepoint services will cover smaller
geographic areas and offer fewer features than other PCS services, such as
cellular and PTS, at a lower price.
Video Mail - The electronic storage and transfer of voice and motion video
messages.
4
Voice Mail - The electronic storage or transfer of audible messages.
Wireless LAN's - Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) provide wireless
connections for devices such as portable computers and personal digital
assistants to other devices and to databases. Wireless LANs are expected to be
built for private user groups, such as a business within a small coverage area
like a business campus or downtown area.
Wireless PBX - Wireless PBX is a PCS service which is essentially a wireless
business telephone. It is expected that Wireless PBX service will provide the
same features that desktop business telephones currently provide, such as voice
mail and three-way teleconferencing. The phone handset will be cordless with
the user able to make and receive calls when he or she may be within a service
coverage area. Coverage areas for Wireless PBX are anticipated to be primarily
within buildings and in defined outdoor areas, such as a business campus or a
neighborhood. This innovative technology may eliminate the expense and
complexity of wiring new buildings for conventional telephone service.
Thus, PCS is an upgraded version of cellular telephone technology. The major
difference that must be of interest to Minnesota municipalities, in addition to the
greater technical capabilities, is the requirement of much greater base antenna/site
density than the conventional cellular telephone networks. This requirement translates
into a need for 100,000 to 200,000 new PCS sites throughout the United States in the
next several years. Currently, several groups of real estate companies are combing the
Twin Cities metropolitan area to obtain numerous new antenna sites for their PCS
industry sponsors. Municipal water towers are ideal sites for the much needed, many
new PCS base/antenna systems because:
o They are secure and not subject to vandalism.
o They are usually located on the highest ground elevation site in the area
(the PCS frequencies travel in a line -of -sight mode so the higher a PCS
antenna is located the better will be the PCS communications range).
o Water towers are solid and stable, thus they do not move in the wind nor
do they collapse like conventional towers tend to do in harsh weather.
5
o Water towers are accepted by the public as necessary structures; they
typically do not evoke the resident's outrage as is all too common for
metal towers in residential areas.
o It is far less costly for PCS companies to rent space on existing water
towers than to build their own metal towers and shelter buildings.
OTHER ISSUES
Because these PCS transmission/reception facilities have the potential for interference
to other radio and television users, it is crucial for municipalities contemplating the
leasing of tower sites or space to have the assistance of an experienced professional
communications engineer to insure that radio/television interference and other
technical problems do not plague City governments.
The other major advantage that a communications professional can provide is
knowledge of the value of antenna sites to the PCS providers. In this manner, the
municipality is confident that it is receiving a fair price for water tower space and not
leasing antenna space at too low a price.
The Cities of Lakeville, Burnsville, West St. Paul, White Bear Lake, Champlin and
St. Paul have retained professional assistance in the leasing of water tower space;
these Cities receive many thousands of dollars in "net" revenue each year from their
antenna site leasing programs while cost, interference and neighborhood problems are
kept to a minimum.
CONTRACTUAL CONSIDERATIONS
Other areas of concern associated with the implementation of PCS on Minnesota
municipalities is the legal agreement or contract between the PCS Company and the
City.
Because the value of antenna sites is appreciating rapidly as their need becomes more
critical, it is essential that the initial rental rates be commensurate. PCS companies
will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars on their PCS
base equipment at each site; therefore, it is reasonable to request a substantial rental
rate for municipal antenna sites or water tower site locations. Rental rates of several
6
thousands of dollars per year per PCS lessor is not unusual. It is crucial to establish
a commensurate site rental fee schedule so that the City benefits as much as is fair for
co -location of PCS antenna/base equipment on City property. The suggested
professional communications engineer can assist in the development of fee schedules
for ratification by each City Council.
Another point to consider is that the value of PCS and other business communications
sites is increasing more than the usual cost of living or Consumer Price Index (CPI)
number. Therefore, it is unwise to sign up for a long term site -use contract with a PCS
company. Any term of more than five years is excessive because contract renewal can
be coupled with a rental rate increase. In addition, the usual PCS companies
suggested contract has a 60 day escape clause so that they can immediately cancel the
agreement with the City for a variety of company controlled circumstances. In
summary, the value of PCS antenna sites is increasing faster than the CPI so short
term contracts, 5 years for example, should be used so greater rate increases are
possible after the initial contract period has expired.
ZONING CONSIDERATION
Those municipalities that have been most successful in revenue generation from the
lease of water tower antenna space have a rigorous zoning structure that strongly
discourages PCS antennas to be erected in residential areas. By establishing zoning
legislation that encourages the use of city water towers for antennas, the PCS
companies are encouraged to apply to the City government for antenna location.
Thus the City maintains control of site safety, aesthetics and radio /television
interference consideration and guarantees a substantial revenue stream for the City.
City zoning ordinances must be carefully drafted to cover all of the considerations
above and numerous others, such as insurance considerations, fee schedules, payment
process, removal of obsolete radio equipment, and transfer of leases (numerous
ownership changes have occurred in the wireless communications industry and many
more are expected).
SUMMARY
Leasing of antenna/base station sites to PCS companies and similar agencies is a
current "hot" topic for Minnesota municipalities. Substantial revenue can be
7
generated for the City at very little if any cost to them. It is essential that zoning
ordinances and policies be revised or strengthened as needed to protect the City's
interests. Two techniques that are strongly encouraged are for City officials to contact
other City officials who have an active and substantial effort already underway in this
general area. Another recommended course of action is to contact a professional
communications engineer who is experienced in this unique area of communications
engineering so that the technical interests, as well as financial interests, of the city can
be adequately protected.

AGENDA ITEM 9D
STAFF ORIGINATOR: David Ahrens, Public Works Director/City Engineer
DATE: 2/8/96
TOPIC: Authorize City to Enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with Metropolitan
Council for Installation of Watermain on Ware Road and Ash Street
BACKGROUND:
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is planning the construction of
a sanitary sewer interceptor pipe along Ware Road and Ash Street (refer to
attached location map). Staff has looked at the City's needs for utility
construction in this corridor and has identified the need to install watermain from
Coyote Trail to 62nd Street on Ware Road and from Hodgson Road to 1 5 Ash
Street on Ash Street (refer to attached location map). In order to have th s work
completed under a contract let by the Metropolitan Council, it is necessa that
the City enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Metropolitan Coun II. Staff
is requesting Council to authorize the City to enter into a Joint Powers
Agreement so that this work can be completed. Final approval of the Joint
- Powers Agreement will be provided at a later Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
Both segments of watermain will ultimately be needed in the City's water system.
Therefore, alternates include having the watermain constructed at a later date
depending on private development needs or by the City as part of water system
development. It is difficult to predict when this might happen, but could be within
the next three years. The advantage to having this work completed at this time
is that construction activity and disruption -to the public in the area of construction
will only occur once for the installation of the interceptor pipe and the watermain.
If the watermain work is delayed, then the construction activity and disruption will
happen twice in a (possibly) three year time span.
FUNDING:
Assessments are not proposed to be levied for this work. Assessments will be
levied only when a property owner elects to connect to the watermain. It is
estimated that the construction costs will be approximately $120,000 and it is
proposed that this work be funded from the City's Water Area and Unit Fund in
ther interim until connections are made.
Joint Powers Agreement
2/9/96
Page 2
OTHER ISSUES:
The City will need to acquire 5' of temporary construction easement along the
proposed Ash Street watermain.
OPTIONS:
1. Instruct staff not to install all (or a portion) of the proposed watermain outlined
in the staff report.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 96-19 authorizing the City to enter into a Joint Powers
Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for the installation of watermain on
Ware Road and Ash Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council adopt Resolution No. 96-19 authorizing the City
to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for the
installation of watermain on Ware Road and Ash Street.

The Volunteers of America is excited to be celebrating 100 years of service. Volunteers
of America Week, March 3 - 10, commemorates the founding of our organization on March
8, 1896. We are one of Minnesota's largest human service organizations, and annually
more than 92% of every dollar we receive is spent directly on program services.
Through the years, Volunteers of America has demonstrated it is a dynamic organization
keeping pace with the ever changing world. We recognize the need for developing creative
ways to solve problems and meet community needs for all members of our society.
I hope you will recognize March 3 - 10, 1996 as Volunteers of America Week and ask that
you join us in celebrating our 100th year of service. Your personal proclamation
acknowledging our service to the people in your community will be appreciated.
Your proclamation, along with other proclamations and letters will be duplicated and put
into booklet form. A booklet commemorating our 100th birthday will be placed in the
reception area of each of our programs and senior dining sites.
Something wonderful is happening in Minnesota, because of you! Your interest and support
makes a significant impact on the success of our organization. And, as you know our
success is measured through the lives of those we touch.
Respectfully yours,
c?,., //or
James E. Hogie, Jr.
