Park Board Meeting
n
January 5, 1998
The January 5, 1998, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was
called to order at 6 : 41pm, by George Lindy, Chair.
Roll call was taken, members present were Paul Montain, Pam
Taschuk, George Lindy, Sharon Lane, and Joe Schmidt . Betty Piper
and Kim Sullivan were absent.
Also present were Rick DeGardner, Parks and Recreation Director;
Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor; and Sandie Wood,
Office Manager.
APPROVAL OF NOVEMBER 19, November 25, and December 1, 1997
MINUTES:
Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Joe Schmidt to approve
the November 19, November 25, and December 1, 1997 minutes, with
Sharon Lane abstaining with regard to the November 25, 1997
minutes, and Pam Taschuk abstaining with regard to the December
1, 1997 minutes . The minutes were approved.
OPEN MIKE :
There was no one present for open mike .
PARK DEDICATION ORDINANCE REVIEW:
Rick DeGardner explained that at the December 1, 1997 meeting,
staff was asked to check with several surrounding cities to
compare Lino Lakes' Park Dedication Ordinance . He provided two
surveys, one summarizing the Park Dedication Ordinances for 46
cities, and the second outlining Park Dedication Ordinances of
seven surrounding communities . Rick pointed out that the
majority require 10% of land to be developed, or cash equivalent.
Pam asked if the 10% is mandated by State statute. Rick
responded that it is not; each city can establish that
requirement.
George requested clarification of Shoreview' s "3% of gross"
commercial and industrial land. Rick explained that where Lino
Lakes requires 3% of gross upland, Shoreview requires 3% of the
gross total land. He added that Cottage Grove is the only
community with a requirement in addition to land dedication,
which also requires $150 per unit for park development.
Joe pointed out that Lino Lakes seems to place less value on
commercial and industrial park dedication than neighboring
communities . Rick explained that a valuation criteria is used
for commercial and industrial areas and does not put as much
demand on residential areas .
Sharon asked how a community--specifically, Forest Lakes--could
determine how many individuals would occupy each house in a given
1
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
n
January 5, 1998
development. Rick explained that a predetermined formula is
used.
George asked for input from the Board regarding change to Lino
Lakes' existing Ordinance. Paul questioned whether or not the
commercial and industrial dedication are adequate to match single
family residences, and requested additional time to review the
numbers presented.
George suggested the need to balance park dedication with
incentive to bring commerce into the city. Paul pointed out that
presently revenues generated by commercial and industrial
development do not benefit park dedication as much as they do
other areas such as the school district tax base. He asked about
the possibility of these funds being designated for park
dedication purposes .
George pointed out that reference to school districts brings into
play general fund dollars vs . dedication dollars, and that
perhaps park dedication should occupy a larger percentage within
the formula for apportionment of these funds .
Paul agreed, adding that there is also consideration of policy,
which might bring TIF monies to commercial and industrial
properties for the purpose of bringing industry into the
community. Perhaps such policy might also include a lesser tax
to be levied against commercial and industrial properties as
incentive .
Pam pointed out that Vadnais Heights shows twice the dollar
dedication per square foot as Lino Lakes . Clearly commercial
development has been very successful, and a higher charge has not
been a deterrent . She added that multifamily produces heavier
use of parks as there is less private land available for
recreational use.
Joe expressed concern about the comparison with Vadnais Heights .
He suggested that Lino Lakes percentage should be reviewed.
Paul suggested that future projections be developed for further
discussion and review.
George recommended that this item be brought back to a future
meeting under "Old Business".
DEVELOP POLICY FOR NAMING CITY PARKS:
Rick explained that he recently received correspondence from
Roger Hokanson, developer of Marshan Condominiums, requesting
that the three acres of park land required for park dedication be
named "'Jesse' s Park" after his deceased grandson. This request
2
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
raises the issue of how Lino Lakes determines names for its
parks, and Rick suggested the necessity for Lino Lakes to develop
a formal policy for this purpose. He provided sample ordinances
from neighboring communities which might be used as sample
guidelines .
Paul asked if a developer is the individual who customarily gives
names to the various elements of his development. Rick agreed
that historically a developer has named his development as well
as provide suggestions for its streets, but the City Council
approves all names such as streets in each development; the
development; however, he pointed out that an official policy
regarding park areas should be in place. Rick asked that in
considering such a policy attention be given to a process for
renaming existing parks as well as for naming new ones . This
would not eliminate the developer' s input, and certainly his
recommendation for names within his development would be
considered. Any name choices would be subject to approval by the
Planning & Zoning Board, and City Council .
Joe suggested a joint effort with Friends of the Park. Rick
agreed, using the example of a contest to name specific parks .
He added that additional parameters that should be considered are
geographical and historical significance .
Pam suggested that individual requests such as Mr. Hokanson' s
might be best acknowledged through a monument or other
recognition within a park rather than naming the park after a
particular person.
Sharon agreed, stating that it would be confusing without some
geographical identity.
Paul pointed out that certain parks in neighboring communities
have been named after individuals, and suggested that in certain
situations it would be appropriate to rename parks after
significant individuals or historical events . He added that
input should be solicited from those who use the park.
George reminded the group that Rick is seeking guidance regarding
protocol for choosing park names . Rick reiterated the option of
soliciting public input through a contest or popular vote of the
citizens .
Paul agreed that the Park Board should be responsible for seeing
to it that the city' s parks are named. He suggested that perhaps
at the planning stage a park could be labeled "development park"
and given a permanent name when the development is under way.
Pam agreed, but reiterated the importance of parameters .
3
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
Barry pointed out that a number of the city' s parks are known by
more than one name. Consistency in naming parks should be a
priority.
Paul commended Vadnais Heights on its ordinance. Rick pointed
out that Vadnais Heights' ordinance is based in large part on
development of a substantial community park, not a residential
one .
Joe asked for time to evaluate the information presented.
George suggested that everyone give thought to possibilities and
revisit this issue at a future meeting.
Pam asked for clarification regarding the Hokanson 3-acre parcel .
Rick explained that this land constitutes Mr. Hokanson' s required
dedicated park land, and that it is not a donation which must be
deeded over to the city. Barry added that the city already owns
the land.
George suggested that the group compile a list of criteria which
would be incorporated into an ordinance. Rick pointed out that a
draft ordinance would then be presented to City Council for
^ approval . George recommended that the proposed ordinance be
directed primarily to the naming of new parks; that all parks
should not be automatically renamed with adoption of such an
ordinance .
Sharon asked whether or not existing parks are marked with signs .
Rick stated that they are.
George added that if existing names are appropriate, they should
be taken into account in drafting an ordinance.
RECREATION UPDATE :
Barry pointed out that it is anticipated that he will be devoting
less time to Park Board meetings in the future due to other
commitments, and that he wanted to acquaint the Board with a
"Recreation Review" memorandum format for his regular updates .
He provided the Board with such a memorandum, which included the
following review of December programs :
• Outdoor skating has been extremely slow due to inclement
weather. The warming houses, originally scheduled to open
on December 13, are anticipated to open on January 1 . All
programs are being pushed back two weeks to allow time for
ice improvement.
• Breakfast with Santa was a huge success . About 120 people
registered. Barry pointed out that although it is an
4
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
exhausting and time-consuming project, it is well
worthwhile .
• The Secret Holiday Shop, operated in conjunction with
Breakfast with Santa, was also a success . Barry stated that
although participation was lower than in years past, the
program was a joy for young people and received a number of
positive comments .
• The Holiday lighting contest, in its second year of
operation, drew twenty-one contestants compared to seven
last year. The second place winner donated their $50 gift
certificate to the Anoka County Food Shelf.
• Under "Other News" Barry pointed out that the Centennial
Middle School Agreement has been approved by the City
Council, and the school will be used about six days each
week. The City Council also approved a part-time recreation
programmer, who should begin in April of 1998 . Finally, the
Parks and Recreation Department computers have been updated
for the first time in more than three years .
Joe asked about combined activities with surrounding communities .
Barry explained that an agreement is in place between Lino Lakes
and Circle Pines, and an arrangement is being discussed with
Centerville as well . Lexington, not interested in such a program
for 1997, is considering a joint agreement for 1998 .
George asked about ice rinks on the lake. Barry pointed out that
in the past such rinks had been shaved, and flooding would be
preferable. George asked if a fire hydrant is close by, and
Barry responded that there is not.
PARKS UPDATE :
Rick explained that along with the Recreation Update, the
Department would like to provide the Board with a Parks Update .
By way of outlining recent activities, Rick stated that overtime
hours have been devoted to making skating rinks ready for use,
picnic tables have been repaired, the trail system has been
inventoried, and the following items have been approved within
the 1998 Parks Budget: (a) One Toro 325-D Grounds Master with a
72" side discharge deck to enable the Department to keep up with
additional mowing needs ($19, 000) ; (b) a 72" snow blower for the
Case Skid Steer for clearing rinks and trails more efficiently
($10, 200) ; (c) two computers ($5, 000) ; (d) one full-time general
maintenance position, effective April 1 ($34, 430) ; (e) one full-
time secretary position (was part-time $10, 390) ; (f) $15, 000 for
trails improvements; (g) one fax machine ($500) ; and (h) minute
taker for Park Board meetings .
Rick enumerated the following items requested but not approved
for the 1998 Parks Budget: (a) seal coating of existing trails
5
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
($15, 000) ; (b) two half-ton pickup trucks with plows ($55, 815) ;
(c) replacement of Shenandoah play structure ($18, 000) ; (d) the
Elm Street trail ($60, 000) ; and (e) a copy machine ($13, 500) .
By way of follow up, Rick noted that the Birch Street Trail was
completed at a total cost of $10. 97 plus 30% engineering cost for
a total of $14 .26. This figure is consistent with customary
estimates of between $15 and $20 per lineal foot.
George pointed out that seal coating of trails, which was not
approved by Council, should be stressed in the future . Original
trails are now approximately six years old and should be on a
maintenance program. Rick agreed, stating that a significant
number of Lino Lakes' trails are in need of seal coating within
the next year or two, and the $15, 000 proposal would have put the
trail system on a satisfactory annual maintenance program.
Pam asked if the Shenandoah play structure would have to be
removed due to liability. Rick stated that the department would
be looking at removal of this play structure in the spring,
adding that it will be unfortunate that there will no longer be a
play structure for the children.
Joe suggested that the neighborhood be notified prior to the
structure' s removal . George suggested a neighborhood meeting.
George asked about the $60, 000 Elm Street Trail item. Rick
stated that he is gathering additional information regarding the
status of this trail .
FRIENDS OF THE PARK UPDATE :
Barry stated that this group did not meet in the month of
December; therefore, there is no update on activities at this
time.
OLD BUSINESS•
Clearwater Creek Business Center:
Rick explained that in September of 1996 Council approved the
final plat for Clearwater Creek 2nd Addition. Unfortunately,
following completion of site grading, staff discovered that
installation of the 15-foot wide trail along the rear lot lines
of those lots west of Tele Lane would result in the removal of a
number of large deciduous trees, including some significant oak
trees . This issue was then discussed with the developer, and it
was agreed that the trail would be relocated to avoid as many of
r� the larger trees as possible.
On September 22, 1997, Council denied acceptance of the proposed
relocation of this trail due to infringement upon the required
6
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
lot size, and returned this item to the Park Board for further
consideration.
Rick then presented photos of the area showing the relocation of
the trail . He reviewed the options, which are as follows : (1)
Keep the trail segment at its present location. Currently the
trail segment is only 29 feet from the existing house on Lot 5 .
(2) Move the trail segment to the original location, which would
result in the removal of a large number of deciduous trees . (3)
Abandon the existing trail and move it to the Otter Lake Road
right-of-way. A disadvantage to this option is the placement of
the trail being very close to a road with a speed limit of 50
miles per hour. Since the county right-of-way is only 100 feet,
a trail along Otter Lake Road would result in only a 4 foot
buffer between the existing road and the trails . The county
standards for a road without curb and gutter is 20 feet.
George suggested that the most desirable option might be to
propose the relocated trail placement and provide for
facilitating screening between the trail and nearby home sites .
Rick suggested that, with the use of minimal retaining walls, it
might be possible to move the trail even farther away from the
homes . He added that most residents would probably prefer the
trail closer to their homes if it means retaining the trees .
Joe asked if there is a possibility of bringing the trail up
LaCasse Drive down Tele Lane using the roadway as a trail, and
cut between Lots 9 and 10. George pointed out that easements are
not available for that location, in addition to possible frontage
requirements .
Paul requested clarification that easements exist for the
proposed relocation of the trail . Rick verified that all
easements are in place. He added that at this point the
developer remains the owner, and he is in agreement with
providing easements for the relocated trail .
MOTION: Paul Montain made a motion to propose location of the
Clearwater Creek 2nd Addition Trail as it appears on the proposed
easement exhibit . Sharon Lane seconded the motion.
George asked if it would be incumbent on the Park Board to
arrange for screening of the trail, in the event that option is
taken. Rick suggested that the developer not be asked to install
screening. George indicated that there may be dedicated funds
from this development and that the City should look toward
providing necessary screening.
MOTION: Paul Montain amended his motion to propose location of
the Clearwater Creek 2nd Addition Trail as it appears on the
7
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
proposed easement exhibit with the City arranging for adequate
screening between the trail and adjacent home sites . Sharon Lane
seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Goal Setting Discussion:
George expressed his general thought that the Board should
continue with its numerous existing projects, including the trail
plan at least to the extent of the $15, 000 contribution from
dedicated funds matched by general funds . However, with respect
to some other areas, perhaps citizen input would be appropriate .
He asked for confirmation on available dedicated funds .
Rick indicated that currently the Park has $327, 000 in the Park
Dedication Fund. He presented the following breakdown of current
projects :
Trappers/Birch Park Trail $ 15, 000
Behms Century Farm improvements 23, 000
Pheasant Hills improvements 46, 000
ECFE Joint Project (no funding)
Shenandoah playground replacement (no funding)
Rice Lake Estates development 46, 000*
Country Lakes Park re-master plan (no funding)
Marshan Park master plan (no funding)
Country Lakes Park, additional amenities (no funding)
Continued trail development 15, 000
Wenzel Farm bridge 10, 500
Total $155, 000
*Sale of 2 lots ($30, 000) not included in this figure)
George pointed out that of the total $327, 000 fund, $204, 880 . 01
is currently designated to specific projects leaving a balance of
approximately $123, 000 . Rick indicated that he would continue to
evaluate this fund and verify figures .
Joe asked if Council is aware of these figures . George explained
that a presentation will be made to the new Council so that it
will be better aware of available funds .
Joe then asked about the possibility of funding some of the items
not approved for general budget, such as the Shenandoah
playground structure and trail development. George explained
that "dedicated funds" are not intended for updating equipment,
and Rick agreed that the "Fund" is designed for land acquisition
and improvement . George suggested that the Park Board' s role
might be to instill a sense of urgency in Council with regard to
such general budget issues as replacement of playground
equipment.
8
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
Paul requested clarification of the $15, 000 trail development
figure. George explained that over the past three years the Park
Board has first designated $15, 000 from its Fund toward trail
development, and the City has matched that amount . Paul
suggested that perhaps that figure should be increased, or a
separate amount designated specifically for trail improvement.
Rick stated that $30, 000 is earmarked for trails for 1998, and
that perhaps a certain percentage of that figure should be
designated for maintenance of existing trails . George agreed,
indicating that there is a necessity to maintain existing trails
rather than focus funding on new trails . Paul suggested that a
system for determining maintenance need based upon trail
condition be developed. George asked Rick to investigate
projected costs for seal coating of trails . Rick also mentioned
other maintenance needs, such as culvert repair, that he would
like to see addressed along with seal coating.
George concluded that trail maintenance be included in an overall
recommendation to Council . Pam suggested that the amount be
raised to $20, 000, and the Board agreed. In addition, George
suggested that seal coating be named as a separate request, in
the amount of $10, 000 . George explained that he will prepare a
list of requests for Council which will include individual
funding amounts and philosophical summaries, and specify matching
general fund amounts .
With respect to other goals, Sharon asked about those items
listed above that presently have no designated funding. Joe
asked specifically about Country Lakes Park, expressing concern
that only $259 are dedicated to that park. George suggested that
the master plan should be revisited to determine what elements
were recommended, and pursue those additional amenities that are
most appropriate.
With respect to Marshan Park, George pointed out that land was
accepted in lieu of dedication funds, so any further improvements
would have to come from available non-designated dedicated funds
based upon the master plan.
George pointed out that Quail Ridge is another project which has
no designated park dedication funding for 1998, as land was
accepted in lieu of money. He added that Rick is in the process
of scheduling neighborhood meetings as a beginning to the master
plan process . Similarly to Marshan Park, the Board will have to
determine whether or not funds are available and appropriate to
go forward with additional development.
Paul mentioned Pheasant Hills, pointing out that this project is
almost entirely developed, and reminded the group of the
possibility of using some adjacent school property as a temporary
9
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
park. George pointed out that the school district had a master
plan including a soccer program, and that the district should be
contacted with respect to the status of its plans prior to the
City taking steps to make land improvements . Rick indicated that
he would investigate this matter. Paul pointed out that a
minimum amount of work would be required to make the subject area
usable for soccer activities . Barry stated that he had spoken
with the soccer field coordinator, and that although it has been
determined that Centennial Middle School will accommodate much of
the current need, the additional area would be useful for soccer.
George asked to what extent development of the subject area would
be advisable . Paul pointed out that a good portion of that
ground is rolling in nature, but that approximately two acres
could be modified into an informal soccer field at minimal
expense to the City. Barry added that parking would have to be
considered.
Paul reminded the group that Pheasant Hills is in need of this
service, and that use of the school district land should be
pursued. Barry added that a neighborhood park in that area would
be an attractive feature. George agreed, suggesting that a trail
system connecting to a more active park area would be desirable.
George suggested that, subject to change based upon additional
information, the goal priorities would be (1) Country Lakes Park
master plan and (2) further contact with the school district
regarding Pheasant Hills . This item will be discussed at the
Board' s next meeting, and a formal request to Council will then
be formulated.
1998 Park Board Meeting Schedule:
Sharon asked if the meeting scheduled for August 31 in lieu of
September 1 (which is a holiday) should be published for public
notification purposes . Sandie explained that the meeting date
will be posted at City Hall, and will also appear on Cable
television. George suggested that the customary procedure should
be appropriate . The 1998 schedule is as follows :
January 5, February 2, March 2, April 6, May 4, June 1, July 6,
August 3, August 31, October 5, November 2, and December 7 .
NEW BUSINESS:
Quail Ridge:
Rick provided proposed correspondence for forwarding to residents
,-� of the Quail Ridge development inviting them to attend a
neighborhood meeting at the Centennial Fire Station at 7741 Lake
Drive, at 7 : 30 p.m. on Thursday, January 29, 1998 . The purpose
10
City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
January 5, 1998
of this meeting is to examine and provide input with respect to
master plans . Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer and Associates, the
City' s parks planner, will be in attendance to facilitate
discussion. In the event that they are unable to attend this
meeting, residents are encouraged to forward comments to Rick
through the mail, by FAX, or by telephone.
George asked how such correspondence is disseminated. Rick
explained that staff will develop a list of names and addresses
from the local directory, and have the letters in the mail by the
end of this week. Various methods were discussed to facilitate
this process, including a direct mailing service . Rick indicated
that he would research that possibility.
Pam asked if the Police Department might be able to assist with
dissemination through Neighborhood Watch Groups . Rick indicated
that he has approached the Police Department, and that
neighborhoods have been identified, and that information will be
used whenever possible.
Next Park Board Meeting - February 2, 1998
ADJOURN:
Pam Taschuk made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Sharon Lane.
The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 25pm.

Memorandum
DATE: 1/28/98
TO: Park Board Members
FROM: Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor
SUBJECT: Program Update
I have enclosed a brief winter program update for your review. If at any time you have a
question or a comment, please contact my office at 780-3782,Ext. 178.
Winter program Update:
Warminghouse Shelters
We opened up on January 1 and had solid attendance since. This week the temperatures
have reached over 35 degrees and could pose a problem with the ice if temperatures do
not fall in the evening. It is anticipated that we will be open until the end of February.
Snack and Skate
These outdoor lessons are proving popular with parents and participants. The mild
weather has helped in the area of not having to cancel any classes.
Family Open Gym
Each week this program is growing in popularity. This is a drop in program. For one
small fee of$5 per family, they can enjoy several gym games. It will be looked into for
additional family activities.
Kids—Er—Cise
Although the attendance was lower than in the past,the program participants seemed to
be enjoying themselves. In conversation with some parents,they also enjoy having their
child in this program.
Pre Kids—ER—Cise
This is another program that parents can interact with their child during the program.
This program is very popular with parents of young children.

^ Dance Class
This program started off a little shaky. The school district did not schedule an employee
to open the school building on the first day of class, but since this has been corrected and
the class is operating very smoothly.
Softball Pitching Clinic
I am amazed on how popular this program is. This winter we had to make an additional
session for this program. The instructor is outstanding and the participants are
responding to her teaching techniques.
Hockey Skills Development
Volunteer coaches instruct young children in the areas of hockey skills. This program is
held at Sunrise Park. It is very enjoyable to see five and six year olds skating around and
attempting to play hockey.
Baskets"Have a Ball"
We redeveloped this program from last year and what an improvement. It was
anticipated that 30 or so children would register for this program, but we have 30 kids in
each sessions. We are using a mix of paid and volunteer coaches and I believe this
system is working out well.
Ski Trips
^ Our ski trip offerings this winter have averaged about 45 people per trip. This is a perfect
number of participants for our four staff to supervise. These trips are very popular and
will be looked into attempting to offer more trips in the future.
Aerobics (wellness) programs
We are always trying to be on top of the current trends in the fitness arena. The several
class offerings have been a staple with this department for a long time. With the addition
of a season pass, registration has increased. The season pass allows a participant to pick
and choose the classes they would like to attend.
Team Co-Rec Volleyball
Our volleyball program has increased by two teams this winter. We have several
returning teams from years past. I hope to increase participation numbers in the future.
Open Volleyball
This allows a person to participate in a volleyball program that does not demand a steady
commitment. This winter we are offering two separate programs, power volleyball
program for the more skilled players and a recreational volleyball program for the up and
coming volleyball players. Attendance has been strong in both programs.
Adult Team Basketball
The season is winding down rapidly. With only a couple of weeks left in the season,
^ teams will be participating in a playoff. I am expecting this league will continue to grow
in the future.
Open Basketball
This program was switched from Wednesdays to Mondays. The attendance has risen
substantially since we made the switch. The move to Mondays does not interfere with
our Wednesday Basketball Program.
Indoor Soccer
We are currently accepting registration for this program. Last season, we had 18 teams
registered for this program. I am optimistic that we can increase the number this season.
Tai Chi Class
This program is very popular with a variety of age groups. We have seniors, younger
adults and even their kids in this program.
The spring brochure is currently being developed and will be mailed out the first week in
March.

SUBJECT: Park Maintenance Update
Snowplowing of streets and trails and rink maintenance has kept
the Parks Maintenance staff busy during the month of January.
The snow blower attachment for our Case Skid Loader has been
purchased and we are extremely impressed with its performance.
Case in point - after a recent 5"-7" snowfall we tried the new
blower for the first time. We were able to clean each full size
hockey rink in approximately 30 minutes . In the past, it has
taken between 1-2 hours for 2 people in 2 pieces of equipment (1
ton truck with 9' plow, Grounds Master and blower) to accomplish
this task.
The blower will also be used on the trails after excessive
snowfalls, as well as for widening and opening drifted areas
that a plow can not get through.

A few topics of discussion from the Friends Foundation last meeting.
• It was discussed that the Friends of the Parks Foundation will be improving the park

Quail Ridge Neighborhood Meeting
January 29, 1998
The January 29, 1998 Quail Ridge Neighborhood Master Planning
meeting was called to order at 7 : 30pm at the Centennial Fire
Station.
Park Board Members present were George Lindy and Paul Montain.
Also in attendance were Jeff Schoenbauer, Brauer and Associates,
Rick DeGardner, Parks and Recreation Director, Sandie Wood,
Office Manager, Parks and Recreation Department.
Rick DeGardner introduced himself and Jeff Schoenbauer and
welcomed everyone to the meeting.
Jeff said he would like to discuss this park area and come up
with a wish list of what the residents want in their park. From
the wish list he will draw 2-3 concept plans and meet again with
the residents . At that time residents will tell Jeff what they
like in the concept plans and then Jeff will be able to do a
final master plan for the Quail Ridge Park.
Jeff explained the service area is about a 1-2 mile radius around
the park. He talked about the trail corridor, wetlands in the
park, the trees, play equipment, hard courts and seating areas .
He also mentioned that it was important to be sensitive to the
people living around the park.
Kirk Corson, 6662 Ruffed Grouse Road expressed his concerns
about the bridge. He said it needs guard rails because water
does flow under it in the spring. He also had concerns about
the culvert.
Some of the concerns other residents had were attracting
teenagers to the cleared out area and the park having lights .
They were worried about losing the wildlife setting in the park.
They wanted to know if it was necessary to have parking,
lighting, and couldn' t the residents just use the park in a near _
area. Another resident wanted to know why the trail by the
bridge had to be continued if the Birch Street trail was going
to be completed. Some expressed they did not want a trail
through the neighborhood. They feel it attracts strangers and
vandals . George suggested the residents go to Country Lakes
Park to see a good example of brushing out a park.
Jeff explained the trail system should be completed to serve the
people in the backside of the park. He felt that increased
trail use, by the residents, would deter criminals from coming
into the neighborhood. Rick asked how people were going to get
into the park and should the bridge be abandoned.

• play structures for 2-5 and 6-10 year olds (earth tone colors)
• benches
• trash cans

There was further discussion on the bridge, board walk designs,
and a neighborhood survey. A resident asked who would maintain
the park. Rick explained the Parks Department is responsible
for mowing and maintaining city parks .
Paul told the residents they need to look at this park in a
current and long-term time frame.
Jeff thanked the residents for attending the meeting and hoped
they would come to the next meeting to look at the concept
plans . He told the residents they would have plenty of
opportunity to comment on the park throughout the process .
The next meeting will be on Thursday, February 12, 1998, 6 : 30pm,
at the Fire Station.
The meeting was adjourned at 8 : 50pm.

NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
Use. Neighborhood parks are the basic unit of the park system and often function as the social
focus of the neighbored. Typically, they are;developed for both active and passive
recreational activities geared specifically for neighborhood use.
Although historically developed for those between the ages of 5 and 17,recent trends in
recreation clearly illustrate the need to accommodate a much wider variety of and user
groups, particularly adults, the elderly, and special populations. Additionally, consideration must
also be given to the specific recreational'needs of the particular neighborhood in which a park is
being developed.
Active recreational activities, such as,field gars, court.gs, crafts,playground apparatus,
skating;,etc. should be developed for use-by ay de va y-of r-groups. Site lighting should
be very limited(i.e.,tennis courts, hock*Amting rinks, and perhaps walkways).
Given the trend toward passive recreational activities,attention must also be given to facilities
such as internal trails, picnictsitting areas,moral open space, and"people watching" areas.
An appealing;park atmosphere and aesthetic quality should also be considered an important
design element.

Kay Phillips of Birch Street addressed the Council regarding a car she observed illegally passing
a school bus her children were getting ready to board. She indicated that she has experienced
other traffic related problems on her street, and that the speed limit should be reduced. Ms.
Phillips stated that she feels very strongly about this issue, and asked about the intentions of
candidates running for Council with respect to this issue.
n Mr. Schumacher suggested that Ms. Phillips put her concerns into writing and submit them to
Staff for response.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997 ,
Council Member Neal suggested that Ms. Phillips speak to Police Officer Hammes and give him
whatever information she might have regarding traffic problems she had witnessed. �r
Mr. DeMotts, 6265 Holly Drive, addressed the Council regarding campaign signs in the City. He
distributed a copy of portions of the City's ordinance regarding signs, and read Section L. b.
"Other Election Years",which states, in pertinent part:
In years when no state general election is to take place, signs announcing
candidates seeking public political office and other data pertinent thereto
shall be permitted up to a total area of nine (9) square feet for each premise
in a residential zone and thirty-two (32) square feet in an agricultural,
commercial or industrial zone. These signs shall be confined within
private property,provided that the property owner's permission has been
obtained. ...
Mr. DeMotts also read Section W, which states:
All signs including temporary and portable over six(6) square feet in size
shall require a sign permit. Permit fees shall be in accordance with a fee
schedule as adopted by the City Council.
Mr. DeMotts stated that he feels permits should have been issued, even though he believed no fee
schedule had been prepared in accordance with Section W of the Ordinance.
Council Member Neal asked the amount of a sign permit. Mayor Landers indicated that to date
no permits have been required. Ms. Wyland explained that the State Building Code as well as
the size of each sign are determinate factors in attaching a fee; but that she was not aware of the
amounts.
Council Member Neal indicated that he had reviewed the Ordinance, and asked about its
suggested penalties. Attorney Hawkins clarified that the $700 fine set forth in the Ordnance
represents the maximum penalty upon conviction that a court could impose, not a civil penalty
that can be imposed by the City.
After discussion of the number and size of signs placed around the City, Mayor Landers stated
that although it is not clear what formal action should be taken, residents have complained and
have expressed frustration with being governed by a Council whose candidates don't abide by the
City's ordinances.
Council Member Lyden asked that the Council return to the agenda for this evening, and that
perhaps all political signs should be abolished. Mayor Landers explained that previous
investigation had revealed that abolition of signs entirely is unconstitutional, but that he agreed
that the Council should discuss this issue at the end of the established agenda.
Council Member Neal stated that he is formally against the garbage collection in spite of the
positions of the balance of the Council.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
CONSIDERATION OF EMERGENCY ORDINANCE NO.33 -97 ALLOWING
PARTIAL PREPAYMENT ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS OVER$100 000 RANDY
SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher explained that this proposed Ordinance deals with allowing for partial
assessment payments beyond the current policy that payment may be made in full within 30 days
after an assessment roll has been adopted or assessed over a period established by the Council.
Under the proposed Ordinance No. 33 - 97,prepayments may be made on assessments of at least
$100,000. Mr. Schumacher used the Centennial School District as an example of a property
assessed a large amount for improvements which could benefit from avoiding payment of
interest over a number of years but is not able to pay the entire amount in a single payment.
Council Member Kuether asked why prepayments are not acceptable on assessments of less than
$100,000. Mr. Schumacher explained that small payments on numerous parcels would represent
an administrative problem.
Council Member Kuether asked if property owners could prepay a portion of the assessments
prior to levying of an assessment roll. Mr. Schumacher indicated that they could not. The
assessment must either be paid in full or be certified. Attorney Hawkins added that partial
prepayments would require each balance to be recalculated and spread over the entire payment
period, and that for small amounts the administration is not feasible.
Council Member Bergeson questioned whether or not$100,000 is an accurate figure. He
suggested that the proposed Ordinance should be passed at this time,but that further discussion
should take place regarding the limit on the amount.
Mayor Landers expressed agreement with Council Member Bergeson.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve Emergency Ordinance No. 33 - 97, as presented.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Emergency Ordinance No. 33 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes.

Mr. Jackson explained that at its October 13, 1997 meeting, Council approved an order for
removal of a hazardous building in connection with the subject property. He reminded the City
Council that at that time the property owner, Gregory Dufeck, was required to attend this
meeting and to present a "concrete update of his plans" for reconstruction, if that was still his
intention. Additionally,the City required that a licensed structural engineer evaluate the scope of
damage to the structure. Within the past two weeks Mr. Dufeck(1)resolved the property
ownership issue, (2) secured an estimate from a licensed contractor, and (3) resecured the
property from trespassers.
Council Member Kuether asked about the overall condition of the structure for renovation
purposes. Mr. Jackson indicated that Mr. Dufeck's prospective contractor has suggested at least
two structural engineers with whom he can work to determine feasibility of renovation.

COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Mr. Jackson added that the City would like to see the garbage outside the house picked up as
soon as a container is delivered to the property for construction purposes. He also indicated that �.
the grass should be cut as soon as possible so that the property does not appear abandoned.
Mayor Landers asked about a small fenced area to enclose debris. Mr. Jackson suggested that
such an enclosure was more typically appropriate for larger construction sites, and that a
dumpster-type container would be more practical.
Mr. Jackson advised that Mr. Dufeck be given until November 10, 1997 to obtain a building
permit,provided Mr. Dufeck provides an engineer's report that endorses a construction estimate
from a licensed contractor.
Council Member Kuether asked how long a building permit provides for completion of a project.
Mr. Jackson explained that the Building Code provides that a permit shall not expire so long as a
project is not abandoned for more than six(6) months. Mr. Jackson indicated that he was
advised by Mr. Dufeck's prospective contractor that the entire project should be completed within
three (3)months,which is a typical length of time for new construction.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve giving Mr. Dufeck until November 10, 1997 to
obtain a building permit according to the conditions stated above. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion.
Mr. Dufeck expressed concern about how long it might take to obtain the required engineer's
report, and asked Council what action might take place if he is unable to meet the deadline of
November 10. Mr. Jackson indicated that a verbal commitment from the contractor would be
acceptable.
Motion carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL'S INTENT OF THE ROAD RECONSTRUCTION REFERENDUM,
PAUL MONTAIN
Charter Commission Chairman Paul Montain stated that the Commission is requesting
clarification of Item No. 2 on the upcoming election ballot regarding road reconstruction. He
explained that following the last Council work session,he met with Mr. Schumacher who
assisted in preparing Resolution No. 97 - 155,which is presented for Council's consideration.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 97 - 155, as presented. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion.
Council Member Bergeson stated that the Charter Commission's requests thus far with regard to
road reconstruction had been met by Council, and that he was surprised at the apparent lack of
trust between these two bodies. Mr. Montain agreed, suggesting a review of this issue following
the election and a closer working relationship in the future.
Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 155 can be found at the end of these minutes.

any necessary property line easements at the time of final platting.
Site Plan Review - Mr. Brixius explained that the site is properly zoned, it fits within the site
including setbacks, loading has adequate turning area, and parking is adequate with expansion
for the new addition. Approval of the site and building plan was recommended subject to the
following conditions:
1. Colors of proposed building material finishes be specified and approved by the City.
2. All trash handling areas are identified on the site plan. If outdoor trash receptacles are
proposed,they must be located in the rear or side yard and screened from view by
occupants of adjacent properties and public rights-of-way by a fence or wall at least six
(6)feet in height with a minimum opaqueness of 80 percent.
3. The applicant submit a signage plan specifying sign height, size, etc. The sign plan will
be subject to City approval.
4. The submitted grading plan is subject to review and comment by the City Engineer.
5. Building and site plans are subject to review by "Crime Prevention Through Environment
and Design" (CPTED)offices prior to building permit issuance.
Mr. Brixius added that an easement encroachment exists on the east property line,which includes
a drainage utility determined to be appropriately left in place; but an encroachment for the
loading area would be permitted with a signed encroachment area.
Mr. Wessel reminded Council that Mary Alice Devine has worked extensively with the Rices,
and that the Planning and Zoning Board is pleased that they have selected Lino Lakes in which to
build their new facility. He added that the Rices and their daughter,Jill Vass,were present,
together with the architect and contractor. Rice Industries is currently located in Shoreview, and
is a 20-year-old distributor of chemicals and equipment used for the manufacture of metal molds.
Ken Nordby of NAI Architects presented samples of certain building materials to Council, as
well as a color photograph of the proposed building and site. He indicated that the site is
currently designed to take into account future expansion.
Mr.Nordby noted one area which had not been addressed, and that was the curb design. He
indicated preference for rollover curb(or valley curb)to aid in ease of snow removal. Mr.
Brixius responded that so long as it is surmountable curb of concrete construction there should be
no problem.
Council Member Bergeson asked how many people Rice Industries employs. Ms. Vass
responded that there are currently eleven(11)employees.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the site plan review, pursuant to the conditions
outlined above. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO.35-97 AMENDING THE CITY CODE BY
REMOVING CERTAIN SECTIONS OF CHAPTER NO. 207 FOR MORE EFFICIENT
ADMINISTRATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT,DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch explained that development of this Ordinance resulted from his suggestion for more
efficient operation of the City's human resources by removing policies from the City Code and
placing them into a policy book. This book could then be maintained and updated as necessary,
separate from the Code.
Mr. Tesch added that the City is in the process of updating many of the benefits currently
provided to its employees. Having the personnel policies in ordinance form causes changes to be
unduly cumbersome and time-consuming; i.e.,two readings,publication, 30-day waiting period,
etc. The City Attorney has been consulted and concurs with this proposal. Mr. Tesch also stated
that any changes and/or enhancements to the City's personnel policies would remain subject to
Council approval according to that process as it is now followed.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97- 154,Adoption of Personnel Policies -Mr. Tesch
- . explained that this.proposed resolution would affirm and identify current personnel policies_
Council Member Bergeson requested confirmation that no changes would take place in the
policies as they now exist. Mr. Tesch responded in the affirmative.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve Ordinance No. 35 - 97, as presented. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Update,Comprehensive Land Use Plan-Mr. Wessel updated Council as to recent activities,
including three (3)work sessions with the Comprehensive Plan Task Force and the City Council.
He indicated that another meeting is scheduled for November 20, 1997 at 6:00 P.M. at City Hall;
but that an interim work session is scheduled for Friday, October 31, 1997 at 7:00 A.M. He
reiterated that the intended result of these meetings is to establish a recommendation from the
Task Force with regard to a direction for community growth,be it strong, moderate,or limited.
Mr. Wessel suggested that the recommendation should be ready for Council action soon after the
first of 1998.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT,AL BRIXIUS
Consideration of Rice Industries Requests:
Mr. Brixius explained that Carol Rice on behalf of Rice Industries has submitted an application
for minor subdivision and site and building plan review. Through use of a map of the area, Mr.
Brixius pointed out the property line shift which is proposed to increase the lot size, for a total of
1.9 acres with a total building area of 22,675 square feet. In reviewing this request, Mr. Brixius
noted the Planning Commission found that the minor subdivision was not appropriate absent a

Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit,Lino Lakes Blacktop, Inc.,502 Lilac Street-
Ms. Wyland explained that the owners of Lino Lakes Blacktop Inc. are requesting a conditional
use permit and site plan review that will allow for the expansion of an existing pole barn.
According to the current Zoning Ordinance, Section 3 Subd. 4.B.2.b.2, "As an expansion of a
Pole Barn. The expansion shall not be more than fifty(50)percent of the gross area of the pole
barn as of the passage of the Ordinance dated 24 August 1987. The City may attach conditions
to the expansion to maintain and enhance the appearance and function of the building including
landscaping and building exterior requirements."
She stated that the existing building is 40 x 48, or 1,920 square feet. The proposed addition will
be 20 x 48, or 960 square feet. The front portion of the addition is planned to be brick with vinyl
lap siding to provide a more pleasing appearance than the typical pole barn facade. A shingle
treatment will be provided on a front roof expansion area. It is proposed that the existing pole
barn be painted to match the new construction.
Ms. Wyland stated that the subject property is located in the City's General Industrial Zoning
District along Lilac Street,-and currently consists of four(4) separate lots of record. One_lot_—
contains an existing home site,which was constructed in 1961. The business was started in 1971
with the construction of the existing pole barn on a separate lot of record. Two additional lots
provide storage and parking areas.
She added that the site has frontage on both Lilac Street and Apollo Drive. The Apollo Drive
frontage has recently been landscaped with evergreen trees and berming has been installed to
screen some of the exterior storage and an existing fuel tank from traffic on Apollo. Sewer and
water is available from Apollo; however,the applicant is not requesting connection at this time.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing, and following the close of that meeting
recommended approval of this conditional use permit with the following conditions:
1. Building permits be obtained prior to construction.
2. If additional lighting is provided, a plan be reviewed by the CPTED officer.
3. Two parking spaces per employee be provided. Currently 22 spaces are provided on the
site plan.
4. Trash handling areas be screened from adjoining property owners.
5. The property owner shall connect the existing business to City sewer and water upon its
extension down Lilac Street.
Ms. Wyland indicated that the owners of Lino Lakes Blacktop are in attendance, and three letters
have been provided from neighboring property owners indicating approval of the proposed
project.
Council Member Kuether asked about condition No. 5 above. Ms. Wyland indicated that it was
the recommendation of the City's Engineering Department because the applicant had indicated
interest in connecting to utilities. Council Member Kuether suggested that this applicant should
not be required to connect to utilities when others are not. She also asked why the utilities for
this project would not come from Apollo Drive. Ms. Wyland explained that access is better from
Lilac Street; and, the assessment would be less since only one lot would be involved.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Mr. Schumacher added that historically business expansions have resulted in requiring utility
connection due to intensified utility use.
Tom Ramsden of Lino Lakes Blacktop stated that the proposed addition would enhance the
property as well as the Lino Lakes Industrial Park, and that they plan to connect to utilities either
from Lilac Street or Apollo Drive,whichever is most feasible.
Mayor Landers asked at what point sprinklers are required. Ms. Wyland indicated that the limit
is approximately 3,000 square feet; and that the fire chief reviews all submittals,making the final
determination.
Council Member Kuether verified that the reason for the expansion is for storage and office
space.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the Lino Lakes Blacktop, Inc. conditional use
permit. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of a Minor Subdivision Request;James Speiser,441-and 453 Birch Street-
Ms. Wyland explained that Mr. Speiser and his daughter,Jill Paulus, are requesting a minor
subdivision that would allow for a 1.2-acre parcel containing the existing homestead to be split
from a 21.4+acre parcel at 441 Birch Street. The 21.4 acres is currently farmed by Mr. Speiser.
The property is currently zoned R-1 and indicated as residential on the Comprehensive Plan;
however, it is not currently within the MUSA and Mr. Speiser has indicated that he is not
interested in development at this time. The 21.4 acres, however, could be developed residentially
at some future date. Utilities are available from Birch Street to serve a future development.
Ordinance No. 93 - 18 provides:
Habitable single family homes constructed prior to July 13, 1992 may
reduce their lot size to a minimum of one (1) acre if the balance of the
property results in a parcel of ten(10) acres ...
Staff recommended approval of this minor subdivision, but commented that the existing
outbuildings will be considered preexisting nonconforming uses and,therefore, if destroyed by
more than 75%will not be allowed to be rebuilt. As a 1.2-acre parcel,the newly created lot
would be allowed a total of 2,020 square feet of accessory buildings. The site currently contains
4,300 square feet of accessory buildings.
Ms. Wyland stated that there will be no park dedication fee, as no new dwelling units are
proposed. Should the larger parcel ever develop,park dedication will be required at that time.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the portion on Birch Street not containing a residence
contains sufficient frontage to accommodate a residence in the future. Ms. Wyland indicated that
sufficient frontage exists for a residence or a roadway.
Council Member Lyden asked how much larger the parcel would need to be to make the
outbuildings consistent with the ordinance requirement. Ms. Wyland stated 10 or more.
However, the property is zoned R-1, so that provision is not applicable. She added that the back
of the lot is heavily screened with trees, and should not pose a problem for future development.
Council Member Lyden clarified that at this time the Council is only being asked to consider a
minor subdivision under Ordinance No. 93 - 18. Ms. Wyland responded in the affirmative. �-'
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the James Speiser minor subdivision. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Molin Concrete,415 Lilac Street Requests:
Mr. Brixius explained that Molin Concrete wishes to expand their production and outdoor
storage facilities located at the corner of Lilac and 4th Street. Specifically, they want to add
production area with a taller batch plant which requires a variance from the City's height
requirement,to vacate an easement which now splits off the northern portion of their property,
and to use that portion of their property zoned Light Industrial for outdoor storage of bulk
product. In order to accomplish these goals, an amendment to the current zoning ordinance text
would have to be considered together with an amended conditional use permit, interim use
permit,variance, and street vacation.
Mr. Brixius stated that Staff determined that it would be better to amend the existing Ordinance
and identify outdoor storage as a principal use by interim use permit. Within the City's districts
the interim use permit mechanism exists,but to date most have not been used. He added that a
sunset clause can be included in an interim use permit, allowing for outdoor storage to expire as
use changes.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this permit,pursuant to the following
conditions:
l. The City approve the requested zoning ordinance text amendment establishing open and
outdoor storage as an interim use in the LI Zoning District.
2. The City approve the requested vacation of 77th Street.
3. The City Council specifically approve an outdoor storage area surfacing material other
than blacktop or concrete.
4. Outdoor lighting is prohibited in the site's outdoor storage area(north of 77th Street).
Permissible exterior lighting shall be hooded and directed to reflect light away from
neighboring residential properties and rights-of-way.
5. Consideration is given to aligning the site's western access point(from 4th Avenue)with
77th Street. This issue should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer.
6. A minimum 150-foot setback is maintained along the subject site's northern boundary.
The buffer yard shall extend 40 feet north into this 150-foot setback line.
7. The City shall prohibit on-street truck parking along Lilac Street.
8. All additional site signage shall comply with applicable City sign requirements.
9. All applicable MPCA requirements are satisfactorily met.
10. All proposed structures comply with applicable City building material requirements.
11. The following noise mitigation efforts are utilized:
a. Concrete product(precast wall panels) are stored parallel to the northerly buffer
yard to act as a sound buffer.
b. The outdoor storage yard is arranged such that truck backing maneuvers toward
residential properties are minimized.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
C. Strobe lights replace truck back-up beepers during nighttime hours (6:00 p.m. to
8:00 a.m.)
12. Comments by other City Staff.
13. The landscape plan shall be amended to show the following:
a. The berm location.
b. Berm height of not less than 7 feet.
C. A solid row of coniferous trees on the north side of the buffer yard with a row of
deciduous trees on the south side of the buffer yard.
d. Landscaping along 4th Avenue.
e. Irrigation for buffer area.
14. The interim use permit will expire if there is a change in the land use in the LI District.
Mr. Brixius explained that between the September and October Planning and Zoning Board
meetings,the applicant had an opportunity to conduct neighborhood meetings and work through
issues of noise, appearance and setback. The amended site plan before Council at this time
reflects changes made as a result of these meetings. With respect to the setback,rather than the
75-foot setback suggested by Code a 150-foot setback is proposed. Additionally,the buffer yard
would not be on the property line but along the 150-foot setback line. The screening is to include
a berm that is at least seven(7) feet in height, and that the buffer yard be planted as suggested in
Item No. 13.c. above. With respect to lighting and noise,the applicant has indicated that the
storage yard north of 77th Street would not be lit, and that back-up beepers would be replaced as
suggested above. Another issue was the staging of trucks. The applicant proposes to move some
of the outdoor storage to accommodate staging within the confines of Molin's property and allow
for egress onto 4th Street.
Council Member Bergeson requested that Condition No. 12 be specified prior to consideration
by Council. Mr. Brixius suggested that egress onto 4th Street and not limiting hours of operation
would be appropriate items to add as conditions.
Council Member Lyden expressed concern about impacting quality of life for the residents of
that neighborhood through this proposal. Mr. Brixius explained that the zoning for this site
currently supports the Molin Concrete operation; however, all parties recognize the possibility
for problems as the operation expands, and consideration has been given to the wishes of both
Molin and the area residents in an effort to come to a satisfactory compromise.
Council Member Bergeson asked for detail on the height and variance regulations. Mr. Brixius
stated that the proposed batch plant will be 80 feet in height,with the standard being 45 feet in
General Industrial areas. Council Member Bergeson asked about the water tower. Mr. Ahrens
stated that the proposed water tower will be 150 feet in height.
Council Member Bergeson asked if any concern had been expressed regarding the Airpark. Mr.
Brixius explained that there has been communication with the Airpark, and it has been
determined and agreed that this project would not interfere with the Airpark operation.
Mr. Schumacher requested detail regarding the proposed landscaping plan. Mr. Brixius provided
a sketch of the proposed landscaping, and indicated that the proposed details will be carried
forward through the adjustments to the site plan.
v
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Mayor Landers asked the applicant if the backup requirements for trucks operating during
nighttime hours would apply to any trucks on Molin's property. The applicant explained that
changes have already made to distance-sensitive beepers which are much quieter than those used
previously, and that OSHA has given its approval to changing to strobe lights as required. With
respect to trucks belonging to other companies that might enter Molin's property,there would be
no control over their backup equipment.
Mayor Landers suggested that Condition No. 1 l.c. be reworded to refer to a requirement for
strobe lights on Molin's trucks specifically.
Council Member Lyden asked what percentage of increase in business would result from this
expansion. The response was 30%.
Mr. Brixius suggested the following wording for Condition No. 1 l.c.: "Molin equipment and
trucks shall be outfitted with strobe lights to replace backup beepers during nighttime hours."

City's consideration of their project.
Consideration of Highland Meadows Requests:
Mr. Brixius explained that North Suburban Development is proposing approval of a 166-unit
mixed density development called Highland Meadows on 65.9 acres of land west of 79th Street
and north on Marilyn. Applications for consideration are rezoning from R-1 to R-3, approval of
a planned unit development, approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment, and approval of a
preliminary plat with conditions outlined by Staff.
.-*N
Following numerous Planning and Zoning Board and neighborhood reviews,the density issue
remains predominant. Medium density is desired as a transition between the area zoned Light
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Industrial and the residential subdivision. The Planning and Zoning Board concluded that this
area of the community would be appropriate for this land use, and recommended that the
Comprehensive Plan be amended and that the zoning be changed to R-3. Additional concerns
were lot size consistency,which has been resolved, and traffic circulation within and beyond the
subdivision,which has been addressed in modifications to the original design to provide a full
intersection as well as two access points into the medium density area and shortening of a cul-de-
sac. Road conditions were also addressed by the City Engineer,who recommended total
reconstruction of 79th Street and overlay to Marilyn and 77th Streets in conjunction with the
project. The proposed park dedication was questioned, and the recommendation was for a tot lot
arrangement.
Mr. Brixius pointed out that all areas of concern have been addressed and resolved as fully as
possible. He stated that Staff recommended approval, based on the following:
1. If the medium density areas are going to be resubdivided,that should be addressed at the
time of final plat.
2. The City finds that the proposed "coved" setback is acceptable and variable setbacks are
established via plat easements.
3. The following street related conditions are satisfied:
a. The preliminary plat is revised to provide immediate access from the north.
b. The City Engineer has recommended approval of the proposed 20-foot "private
driveways"
C. Off-street parking along designated townhome "driveways" is prohibited.
4 Park dedication is required pursuant to the preliminary plat dated 10/8/97 including a trail
along outlot A.
5 Grading and drainage has been submitted and approved by the City Engineer.
6. A utility plan illustrating the street layout is reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
7. Right of way to the eastern portion of the plat is approved for future extension.
8. Public street access be provided to the excepted lot lying north of Outlot C.
9. The developer shall be responsible for the upgrade of 77th Street east of subject site.
10. Limited construction traffic to 79th Street.
11. Establishment of crime prevention program for townhome units.
12. Developer shall be responsible for overlay of Marilyn and 77th Streets from Marilyn to
Lake Drive.
Council Member Kuether asked for explanation of the term "quadromimium". Mr. Brixius
explained that this is the same as a quad home.
Council Member Kuether also asked if the City's ordinances require a two-car garage. Mr.
Brixius stated that a minimum two-car garage had not been specified.
Council Member Bergeson clarified that this site is within the MUSA.
Council Member Lyden asked how many units are proposed. Mr. Brixius responded 108 single-
family and 60 townhome units. However, those numbers were reduced with the revised plan.
Council Member Bergeson asked about utilities. Mr. Ahrens explained that the Lake Drive trunk
utility project would serve this project. Council Member Bergeson asked if those residents along
79th Street would be afforded the opportunity to connect to these utilities,to which Mr. Ahrens
responded that they would with consideration toward future development as well. There would
be no requirement for connection.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Mayor Landers asked if phasing is proposed for this development. Mr. Brixius indicated that
phasing is not in place; however, he added that if the access from the north provided in the
preliminary plat is not possible at this time,the northern one-third of the subdivision(north of
79th Street)would be established as a future phase (outlot)until such time as a northerly access
is available.

(4/5ths Vote) - Council Member Lyden moved to deny Ordinance No. 32 -97. For lack of a
second,the motion failed.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 32 - 97, as
presented. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried, with Council
Member Lyden voting no.
Ken Gust, a local civil engineer, expressed reluctance to take responsibility for overlay of
Marilyn. He stated that maintenance should be done,but not at the expense of the developer.
Council Member Kuether stated that the residents are entitled to an overlay, given the increase in
traffic they will have to endure.
Mr. Gust indicated that the developer might be willing to share in the cost, but did not wish to be
responsible for the entire amount.
Mr. Ahrens agreed that a considerable increase in traffic will exist as a result of this
,..� development, and did not feel that a$12,000 overlay would be inappropriate.
Planned Unit Development(4/5ths Vote) - Council Member Lyden moved to deny the planned
unit development. For lack of a second,the motion failed.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the planned unit development. Council Member
Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried, with Council Member Lyden voting no.

Council Member Neal seconded the motion.
Council Member Lyden stated that this effort to put in an additional 100+homes is
counterproductive to the City's aims for economic vitality and property tax relief for its residents.
Council Member Bergeson pointed out that this development allows for considerable flexibility
on the part of the developer and, therefore, road overlay is not unreasonable.
Motion carried, with Council Member Lyden voting no.

FIRST READING, Ordinance No.29 -97 Amending Zoning Ordinance Section 7,Business
Districts, Subdivision 3,H- Ms. Wyland reminded Council that a conditional use permit had
been approved for automobile and truck repair use at 7313 Lake Drive with the condition that an
ordinance amendment be considered which would allow the parking of vehicles waiting for
repair. Section 7, Subd. 3, H.6.i currently reads as follows:
All outside storage shall be prohibited. The storage of damaged
vehicles, vehicles being repaired and vehicle parts and accessory
equipment must be completely inside a principal or accessory
building.
The proposed language would allow customer vehicles to be parked outside but prohibit other
exterior storage. The proposed language is as follows:
All outside storage is prohibited except the storage of customer
vehicles waiting for repair.
Ms. Wyland stated that the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on October 8, 1997,
and recommended approval of this ordinance amendment.
Council Member Lyden asked about a time limit for vehicles awaiting repair to remain on the
property. Ms. Wyland explained that all vehicles stored for repair must bear current licenses,
which should preempt inordinately lengthy storage.
Mayor Landers asked for the precise location of the building. Ms. Wyland explained that this
amendment would apply to any automobile repair use within the City which obtains a
conditional use permit.
Council Member Kuether requested clarification regarding placement of these vehicles within a
fenced area. Ms. Wyland indicated that the applicant still intends to install a fence of a privacy
nature.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 29 - 97,
which provides and reads in pertinent part "All outside storage is prohibited except the storage
of customer vehicles waiting for repair." Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97- 152 Opting to Participate in Livable Communities Act
-Ms. Wyland explained that at this time of year the City is requested by the Metropolitan
Council to indicate its willingness to participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account
Program under the metro Livable Communities Act. Participation is mandatory for those
communities wishing to access certain funding accounts through the Metropolitan Council. This
proposed resolution, if adopted, represents the City's willingness to continue participation in this
program for the third year.
Mr. Wessel stated that historically following election to participate Staff returns to Council with
a recommendation of goals for use of the subject funds. Last year Council reduced the goals, and
it would appear that this year those same goals will be appropriate. However, Mr. Wessel
reminded Council that at this time the request is just to participate in the program. Mr. Wessel
added that earlier this date he, Mr. Schumacher and Ms. Devine met with representatives of the `..
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
r� Metropolitan Council to confirm that, if the City elects to participate, it would be eligible for the
funds requested. Ms. Devine presented a submission to the Livable Communities group a few
months ago, and a series of meetings have taken place since then. Lino Lakes is one of nine
communities being considered, having requested approximately $435,000 for use in the Town
Center project. Mr. Wessel added that Lino Lakes should have a response as to whether or not
the request was successful some time in November of this year, having been informed by the
Metropolitan Council representatives that Lino Lakes will be given full and fair consideration.
Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Wessel what the amount of last year's commitment was,to
which he replied he did not have the exact amount before him but that this year's request remains
a very low level of commitment.
Council Member Neal expressed the importance of this involvement to those who require
Section 8 housing. Through the program, only about one-third of certain seniors' income is
necessary for housing.
Council Member Kuether asked about the projected price of the proposed townhomes. Mr.
Wessel could not provide that figure, but added that the affordability level has been raised to
$120,000 through the Local Housing Incentives Account Program.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 152, as presented. Council Member
Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 152 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT,DAVID AHRENS
Consideration of Resolution No. 97- 145, Reject Bids,Lilac Street Utility Extension-Mr.
Ahrens explained that on August 25, 1997, Council approved plans and specifications for the
Lilac Street Utility Extension project. This project includes the installation of sanitary sewer and
watermain along Lilac Street from Fourth Avenue to Apollo Drive. Subsequent to advertisement
for bids,the City opened three bids on Friday, September 19, 1997,with the following results:
Company Bid Amount
Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. $218,090.30
Penn Contracting,Inc. $224,901.00
Redstone Construction Co., Inc. $245,726.83
Engineer's estimate $180,482.75
The low bid amount of$218,090.30 is 21%higher than the Engineer's estimate of$180,482.75.
Due to the high bid amounts and property owners not needing the utility construction until
Spring of 1998, Staff is recommending that these bids be rejected and that bids be readvertised in
the Spring.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Resolution No. 97 - 145, as presented. Council
Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 145 can be found at the end of these minutes.
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Consideration of Resolution No. 97- 150, Order Improvement and Preparation of Plans
and specifications, Lake Drive Trunk Utility Project(4/5ths Vote) - Mr. Ahrens provided the
following background for this item: The public hearing for the lake Drive Trunk Utility project
was held on Monday, August 11, 1997. The 60-day waiting period has expired with no petitions
submitted to the City either in favor of or against the project.
The project includes the construction of trunk and lateral sanitary as well as watermain. Trunk
utilities are intended to provide utility service to large portions of the City. Lateral utilities are
extended from the trunk utilities to serve specific properties. The lateral utilities proposed in the
Lake Drive Trunk Utility project are those that will serve properties along Lake Drive only.
Expansion of the lateral utility service to nearby neighborhoods can be completed at a later date.
Funding and special assessments are outlined in the feasibility report, and follow State Statues
and the Lino Lakes Charter. The approximate cost for this project is $2,400,000. Funding for
the project will be through special assessments levied against benefiting properties as property
owners connect to the utility system. The special assessments are calculated following the Lino
lakes Public Improvement Financing Policy including the "Bisel Amendment" to existing
residential properties that can not subdivide.
Permanent and temporary easements are required to complete this project including the
acquisition of one parcel located on Lake Drive and a portion of another parcel located on Lilac
Street. The easement costs are included in the estimate noted above.
Project Schedule
The proposed schedule for the project is as follows:
Order Project October 27, 1997
Council Approves Plans January 26, 1998
Council Authorizes Ad for Bids January 26, 1998
Bid Opening February 19, 1998
Council Awards Bid February 23, 1998
Construction Begins April, 1998
Substantial Completion October, 1998
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 150,but requested that language
be added to the effect that property owners do not pay for the proposed utilities until time of
connection. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bergeson clarified that the cost to residents for these improvements would be
significantly higher were it not for the Highland Meadows Project. Mr. Ahrens agreed, citing the
Bisel Amendment as the determining factor.
Council Member Neal asked for the amount of assessment. Mr. Ahrens explained that sanitary
sewer amounted to $33 per front foot, with$23 per front foot for watermain. The parcel is also
assessed according to area, which is $2,114 per acre for watermain and $1,983 per acre for
sewer; based upon the number of units for each parcel, each residential unit is $859 for sewer and
$1,387 per unit for watermain. Finally,there is an assessment for surface water management.
Council Member Bergeson asked for a typical cost for residential property. Mr. Ahrens
responded $8,750. �..
COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1997
Council Member Neal asked about the VFW property specifically. Mr. Ahrens indicated that he
would supply that information to Council Member Neal following the meeting.
Council Member Bergeson expressed his feeling that if the costs can be kept under$10,000
many residents will be interested in connecting to the utilities.
Resolution No. 97 - 150 can be found at the end of these minutes.

OPEN MIKE
Mayor Landers called for representatives of the Parks & Recreation Department in order to
present to them the 1998 Annual Distinguished Budget Award in appreciation for their thorough
and complete submission of their contribution to the 1998 Budget.
Mr. Schumacher explained further that the reason this award was presented to the Parks &
Recreation Department at this time is not just because of their excellent work, but because they
accomplished the necessary budgetary goals in a timely manner without the aid of a director. He
added that this award is not given routinely every year, but is presented only when extraordinary
service is rendered.
Kim Sullivan of 7132 Whippoorwill Lane commended the Parks Department for its efforts in
connection with budget preparation, and to Ms. Vaske individually for her willingness to
recognize the good work of fellow employees. She then expressed concern that plans thus far for
the new City Hall complex are not being considered by all affected parties, and strongly
encouraged Council to hold the City Staff accountable to ensure that everyone involved is
offered the opportunity to provide input.
6:30 P.M.,PUBLIC HEARING, CERTIFICATION OF CERTAIN DELINQUENT
SEWER AND WATER UTILITY BILLS,MARY VASKE
Ms. Vaske explained that each year the Utility Department experiences difficulty collecting some
quarterly sewer and water bills. Notification has been forwarded to those residents having
outstanding bills explaining the deadline for payment of those bills would be November 14,
1997. Most bills left unpaid when a resident moves are turned over to a collection agency, and
are collected in this manner. However, bills not collected by a collection agency and delinquent
bills of current residents are certified to Anoka County by resolution for collection with property
taxes. The residents named in Resolution No. 97 - 166 have received the required notification of
this public hearing, which is being held to allow residents to speak regarding their delinquent
bills.
Following adoption of this resolution,the Finance Department will continue to receive payments
on delinquent bills. Some of the delinquent utility bills included in Resolution No. 97 - 166 will
be paid before the certification date and will be stricken from the assessment roll.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 6:51 p.m.
There being no public response, Council Member Kuether moved to close the public hearing at
6:52 p.m. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion.
Council Member Neal pointed out that in some cities utility services are discontinued when bills
go unpaid. Ms. Vaske indicated that there is only one city in the area that has handled unpaid

CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENT HEARING, I-35W/LAKE DRIVE
INTERCHANGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AREA 1997 ASSESSMENT
ROLLS,DAVID AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that on August 25, 1997, Council set the public hearing for proposed
assessments to the 35W Trunk Highway 49 Interchange commercial development utility
improvements for Monday, October 13, 1997. That hearing was continued until November 10,
1997 to allow for investigation of assessment issues relative to one parcel within the project area.
These issues were discussed at the most recent Council work session, and it was decided to table
this action until such time as Staff could propose a revision to the current assessment policy.
Mr. Ahrens added that if Council feels that at this time there has been sufficient public input,the
hearing could be closed and Resolution No. 97 - 129 adopted upon investigation of the amended
assessment policy; or, if Council feels additional public input is necessary,the public hearing
could be continued and adoption of Resolution No. 97- 129 could be delayed until Staff has had
an opportunity to investigate a policy change.
Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Ahrens for a timeline with respect to a recommendation.
Mr. Ahrens indicated an outside date of December 15, 1997,but that he felt the recommendation
would come sooner.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 6:55 p.m.
Joel Tagg, 7504 Lake Drive, addressed Council, asking if the entire project would be delayed
pending Mr. Ahrens' proposed additional research. Mr. Ahrens responded that certification of
assessment must take place by late November, so the entire project would be delayed.

THIRD QUARTER BUILDING REPORT,PETE KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel stated that a total of 467 building permits were issued through September 30, 1997,
and that total construction valuation was$25,289,601 for that same period. He explained that for
the same period in 1996 there were 484 total permits with a valuation of$63,586,966.
Mr. Kluegel added that to date 134 new single-family dwelling permits have been issued in 1997,
compared to 148 through the third quarter, 1996. The industrial sector acquired one office
warehouse building, GNW at 2289 Cedar Street,totaling$1,600,000. The Fairview Health Care
Services building was added to the commercial sector, valued at$1,046,497. Additionally, a
water tower antenna valued at $32,000 and NEXTEL Cellular Telephone valued at$30,000 were
constructed during that period, as well as a handball court valued at$39,700 at the Minnesota
Correctional Facility.
Pumping Septic Systems - Council Member Neal asked Mr. Kluegel about the possibility of
foregoing required system pumping until after the winter season, as systems freeze when pumped
during the winter months. He pointed out that many individuals living along--primarily senior
citizens--have expressed considerable concern regarding this issue. Mr. Kluegel agreed that there
are many citizens who live alone and do not generate sufficient waste to warrant required
pumping; however,there are many families who do have this need.
Mayor Landers pointed out that the City of Lino Lakes adopted its pumping policy at the
direction of the Metropolitan Council, and that the City's policy is considerably more lenient
than that of the Metropolitan Council.
Council Member Neal expressed a desire to achieve a more consistent fee schedule for those who
provide this service. Council Member Kuether indicated that citizens should call a number of
providers prior to scheduling this service, and inquire as to their fees.
Council Member Lyden asked if there is concern about systems that have been pumped but have
not had the required documentation provided by the service provider. Mr. Kluegel stated that
this has occurred; however, he indicated that the paperwork had not reached the City due to
nonpayment of bills for the service.

Kluegel speculated that the end of November might be possible, depending upon the weather.
Council Member Neal suggested that Mr. Kluegel monitor this situation carefully, and report any
problems to the Council. Mr. Kluegel indicated that he would work with other Staff to prepare
an additional report to Council on this matter.

Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL
Update, Comprehensive Land Use Plan -Mr. Wessel commented that commercial value is
beginning to appear on the building permit report. He suggested that this is the beginning of a
good, strong trend.
Mr. Wessel then reminded Council that that the Comprehensive Plan task force and joint sessions
continue,the next one being on November 20, 1997, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. He added that
these sessions are important, as they provide a basis for recommendation to the neighborhoods
by February or March regarding a philosophy of growth for the community. The goal remains
mid year for submission of the Comprehensive Plan for Council approval, and the January 14,
1998 Planning & Zoning Committee meeting date remains the target for this action.

ordinance at its October 27, 1997 meeting. Action at this time represents the second reading to
rezone the Highland Meadows site to a planned development overlay with a portion of the site
being zoned R-3 for medium density housing.
Council Member Neal requested additional information regarding traffic issues, proposed road
reconstruction, and what area of the project the reconstruction roadway would serve. Ms.
Wyland responded by reviewing action thus far with respect to this project. She explained that
neighborhood meetings have been held and feasibility studies accomplished, and that the
developer has agreed to all additional requirements as stipulated by the City.
Council Member Neal asked about the proposed speed limit. Mr. Ahrens indicated that 30 miles
per hour is required by State law.
Council Member Neal then spoke on behalf of a citizen who feels that the proposed project is not
in accordance with the 20/20 Vision policy. Ms. Wyland responded that the 20/20 Vision project
called for multiple development throughout the community, and that this project adheres to that
recommendation.

COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 10, 1997
Council Member Neal asked about the trail system, which is proposed to be installed under
power lines. He expressed concern that utility service trucks would damage the trails themselves
as they work on utility lines. Ms. Wyland explained the proposed trail system route, adding that
the Fox Trace trail system follows a similar route.
Council Member Neal also clarified that sewer and water would not be accessible to properties
along Lake Drive without this project. Ms. Wyland responded that this project will have
significant impact upon extension of these utilities to Lake Drive, and Mr. Ahrens echoed her
sentiments, adding that the provision of these utilities would be much more costly to the City
absent this project.
Council Member Lyden stated that the convenience of utilities along Lake Drive is not sufficient
reason for this project. He added that utilities along Lake Drive should be installed for
commercial benefit, not to add"rooftops".
Mayor Landers reminded the group that there are residences on Lake Drive beyond the
boundaries of this project who, if not presently,will soon require these services. He also asked
for clarification as to the sufficiency of the trail system to handle service vehicles as they work
on utility lines. Mr. Ahrens explained that the trail,ultimately proposed from Lake Drive to
Sunset, could be designed to accommodate the few trucks that would travel in the trail area for
that purpose. He added that the substance should be 5-to 6-ton design, but could investigate the
possibility to raising that limit to 7-ton.
Council Member Bergeson asked about green space within the development, and whether or not
wildlife would be accommodated. Ms. Wyland pointed out the proposed green space area,
indicating that there will be an additional 5 acres of park land as well as varying degrees of
setback, creating the appearance of more open space within this development than in typical
developments in the past.
Council Member Neal asked for a time frame within which this project will be constructed. Ms.
Wyland reminded Council that there is undeveloped property to the north of the project area
whose development will dictate total completion of the development.
Bruce Kerber of North Suburban Development spoke about the trail system, stating that the
easement involved would eventually be deeded back to the park system. He then provided
Council with a visual aid in the form of a map, showing the group the actual proposed trail
system. Mr. Kerber stated that the County would like for the development to use Wood Duck as
egress from the project until such time as the commercial property is developed allowing for
connecting roadways. He added that the portion of the project below the aforementioned
commercial property is projected for completed within two years.
Council Member Kuether asked if all of the quad homes are within the southern(bottom)portion
of the development, to which Mr. Kerber responded yes.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the number of units proposed will be included in the
6
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 10, 1997
,•� southern portion of the development only. Mr. Kerber stated that the 158 units represent the
entire project, and that the southern portion represents approximately 2/3 of the overall
development.
Council Member Lyden asked that anyone in the audience be allowed to speak.
Mayor Landers asked for new information only.
Mr. Chris Eiwin, 638 Barbara Lane, stated that very few Barbara Lane and Marilyn Drive
residents receive adequate notice of the meetings with regard to this development. He felt that
the notice was"last minute"not allowing sufficient time to voice opinion.
Ms. Wyland reviewed the process of notification, stating that upon realizing that a number of
residents who would be affected by this development had not been notified due to being outside
the required area, a second neighborhood meeting was held,to which additional residents were
invited.
Mayor Landers added that continuation of a public hearing does not result in additional notice.
Ken Jacobsen,628 Barbara Lane, stated that he has been to many of the Planning&Zoning
Committee meetings, but could not understand why zoning was proposed for change from R-1 to
R-3. He expressed concern that R-3 zoning will result in"Section 8 housing", and not be as
attractive as R-1.
Council Member Kuether asked if a buffer of single-family homes could be placed on the outside
of the proposed multi-family units in the interest of creating a more attractive neighborhood. Mr.
Kerber explained that the proposed units will be moderate in size and attractive to the passerby.
He agreed that landscape buffering would be possible, including evergreen trees and other
shrubbery to act as a screen.
Council Member Lyden moved to deny Ordinance No. 32 - 97. For lack of a second,the motion
died.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Ordinance No. 32 - 97 with the condition that
additional landscape berming be provided by the developer along the north side of Barbara Lane.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried,with Council Member Lyden
voting no.
Ordinance No. 32 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes.
SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 29 - 97 Amending Zoning Ordinance, Section 7,
Business Districts, Subdivision 3, H. (4/5ths Vote) - Ms. Wyland explained that Council
�-. approved the first reading of this ordinance at its October 27, 1997 meeting. Approval of this
ordinance will allow for exterior storage of customer vehicles waiting for repair in a commercial
7
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 10, 1997
zoning district. The current ordinance prohibits exterior storage of vehicles awaiting repair. As
amended, all outdoor storage would be prohibited except vehicles awaiting repair.
Council Member Bergeson asked if other vehicle repair businesses within the community would
become illegal with the proposed amendment. Ms. Wyland explained that existing businesses
would be"grandfathered in"to this ordinance.
Council Member Kuether expressed concern that fencing is not included in the actual ordinance
amendment. Ms. Wyland explained that another section of the existing ordinance references
fencing, and that fencing is a condition of approval for the business which would benefit
immediately from the amendment.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Ordinance No. 29 - 97, as presented. Council
Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 29 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes. -
SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 31 -97 Establishing Open and Outdoor Storage as an
Interim Use in the Light Industrial(LI) Zoning District -Ms. Wyland explained that Council
approved the first reading of this ordinance at its October 27, 1997 meeting. At that time an
interim use permit for Molin Concrete was also approved, subject to approval of this second
reading. Ms. Wyland reviewed the additional conditions to which approval of this ordinance is
subject.
Council Member Bergeson requested clarification of definition of the"drop dead" date for the
interim use permit. Ms. Wyland explained that in this instance such use would terminate upon a
significant change in the property use as approved, rather than at the end of a specific period of
time.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve Ordinance No. 31 - 97, as presented. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 31 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Resolution No. 97- 157 Establishing Livable Community Goals -Ms. Wyland stated that as
part of the Livable Communities Act,municipalities are asked to establish goals pertaining to
housing affordability, life-cycle, and density. These goals are seen as objectives the City would
want to meet while recognizing that there can be no quarantine of that achievement. The City
originally established some rather low goals based on the fact that the Comprehensive Plan
process had not yet been initiated. The Metropolitan Council accepted those one-year goals;
however, they are now requesting goals projected through the year 2010. The following is a list
of the City's Index,the 1996 one-year goals, suggested 1997 goals, and Metropolitan Council
recommended goals:
City's Index 1996 Goals 1997 Goals Met Council

Density
Single Family 1.0/acre 1.2/acre 2.3/acre 2.3/acre
Multifamily 0/acre 5/acre 10/acre 10-12/acre
Council Member Kuether objected to the high percentage of goals with respect to rental property
within the community. She asked Mr. Wessel why this percentage is high. Mr. Wessel
explained that the percentage goals are designed to provide numbers less than the Metropolitan
Council's recommendations but higher than the City's original goals in an effort to compromise
until the Comprehensive Plan is complete. He indicated that the Metropolitan Council should
have no difficulty in accepting these figures conditioned upon renegotiation following
completion of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Wessel stated that he is not concerned about the
stated goals, as completion of the Comprehensive Plan will certainly provide a clear projection
which is more in line with realistic community prospects.
Council Member Lyden suggested that the Metropolitan Council's primary goal is high-density
housing. Mr. Wessel agreed,but stated that the issue seems to be one of semantics.
Council Member Bergeson pointed out that rural areas cannot logically be included in a high-
density development plan. Ms. Wyland explained that high-density is based upon average
development, citing the Behm development which stands at 2.3 units per acre.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 157 with the City's Goals in the
Affordability - Rental category reduced to 15%and with the provision that Council review the
percentages following ratification of the Comprehensive Plan. Council Member Neal seconded
the motion.
Council Member Bergeson expressed concern about the effect of low percentage numbers on the
total amount of the grant that Lino Lakes stands to receive as a result of these negotiations.
Council Member Kuether stated that the City's actual goals should not be compromised to that
extent.
Mr. Schumacher indicated that the Metropolitan Council speaks highly of the City's application,
and suggested that a spirit of cooperation will be fruitful.

Council Member Bergeson asked about budget considerations for future years. Mr. Ahrens
explained that typically the City bonds for 15 years. Bond payments would begin in 1999 at the
rate of 5%, depending upon the market.
Mayor Landers asked about the status of design for Black Duck Drive, which is designated as a
collector street within this project. Mr. Ahrens explained that the proposed reconstruction
considers Black Duck a minor collector street. Mayor Landers expressed concern that the policy
should be examined to allow for adjustment for minor vs. major collector street reconstruction.
Council Member Bergeson stated that annual bond payments by the City should be $143,000.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 158, as presented. Council Member
Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 158 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97- 159,Accept Bids and Award Construction Contract,
Laurene Avenue Lift Station - Mr. Ahrens provided the following background for this item:
As part of the Metropolitan Council's plan to construct a new lift station on Ware Road,the City
and the Metropolitan Council executed a conveyance agreement that transfers the Laurene
Avenue lift station from the Metropolitan Council to the City. Now that the new Ware Road lift
station is fully operational,the Metropolitan Council is preparing to remove their pumps, control
panel, and generator from the Laurene Avenue lift station. Therefore, it is necessary for the City
to install pumps and make modifications to the lift station.
On October 13, 1997, Council approved plans and specifications for the modification of the
Lauren Avenue lift station. Pursuant to advertisement for bids,the City opened four bids on
Thursday,November 6, 1997, as follows:
Company Total Bid
Great Western Corporation $51,052
Merrimac Construction $57,224
Jay Brothers $59,750
Penn Construction $78,400
Engineer's estimate $50,000
The low bid(Great Western Corporation at $51,052) is approximately 2%higher than the
r� Engineer's estimate of$50,000. Thomas Dye of SEH prepared correspondence recommending
that the contract for this project be awarded to Great Western Corporation.

street to serve his property. A map was provided illustrating Mr. Rehbein's property boundaries.

Mr. Ahrens reminded Council that the City recently-ordered the Lake Drive Trunk Utilities
Project and Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project,which may be financed through bond

RESOLUTION NO. 97-163
RESOLUTION RELATING TO FINANCING OF CERTAIN PROPOSED PROJECTS TO BE
UNDERTAKEN BY THE CITY OF LINO LAKES; ESTABLISHING COMPLIANCE WITH
REIMBURSEMENT BOND REGULATIONS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes is in the practice of constructing certain improvements
and in some instances reimbursing itself for the cost of any portion of the improvements with
bond proceeds, and
WHEREAS,the Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed Treasury Regulations Section
1.103-17 (as proposed and/or finally adopted,the "Regulations") dealing with the issuance of
bonds where all or a portion of the proceeds are to be used to reimburse the City for any project
costs paid by the City prior to the time of the issuance of the bonds, and
WHEREAS,the Regulations generally required that the City make a prior declaration of its
official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a
subsequently issued taxable or tax exempt borrowing,that such declaration generally be made
prior to but not more than two years before the time the expenditure is actually paid,that the
borrowing occur and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such borrowing
within one year of the payment of the expenditure or, if longer,within one year of the date the
project is placed in service, and the expenditures relate to property having a reasonably expected
economic life of at least one year.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka
County, Minnesota,that:
1. Official Intent-The City desires to comply with requirements of the Regulations with
respect to certain projects hereinafter identified.
a. The City proposed to undertake the following projects: 1)Lake Drive Trunk Utility
Project; 2)Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction,which is further described on Exhibit A
attached hereto.
b. Other than costs to be paid or reimbursed from sources other than a tax-exempt
borrowing or costs permitted to be reimbursed pursuant to the transaction provision of
section 1.103-17(1) of the Regulations, none of the costs of the foregoing projects as
identified on Exhibit A has heretofore been paid by the City and none of the costs will be
paid by the City until after the date to this Resolution. Each of the projects and costs
related thereto, constitutes property having a useful life of at least one year.
c. The City intends to reimburse itself for the payment of the designated project costs out of
the proceeds of a tax exempt bond issue, debt or similar borrowing (the "Bonds") to be
Resolution 97-163
Page 2
issued by the City after the date of payment of all or a portion of the costs. Pending the
issuance of the Bonds, the City reasonably expects to pay and temporarily finance the ti..
costs from the following source of sources of funds identified on Exhibit A.
d. The Bonds are proposed to be issued by the City pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 475, and other applicable statutory authority. The reasonably expected
sources of funds to be used by the City to pay the debt service on the Bonds are identified
on Exhibit A.
2. Budgetary Matters -As of the date hereof,there are no City funds reserved or otherwise
allocated pursuant to the City's budget(or expected to be reserved or allocated pursuant to
the City's budget)to provide permanent financing for the bonding portion of the project
costs, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. Furthermore,there has been no
allocation, budgeting, or restriction of moneys(or the adoption of a requirement or policy to
reimburse a fund) as part of the City's budgetary process,the primary purpose of which is to
prevent moneys from said sources from being available for the permanent financing of the
cots of the projects. This resolution,therefore, is determined to be consistent with the City's
budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are foreseeable on the date hereof, all
within the meaning and content of the Regulations.
3. Filing? - This resolution shall be filed in the publicly available official books,records, or
proceedings of the City,which shall be continuously available for inspection by the general
public. This resolution shall be available for inspection at City Hall during normal business
hours of the City on every business day the period beginning on the earlier of 10 days after
the adoption hereof or the date of issuance of the reimbursement bonds and ending on the day
after the issuance of such bonds.
4. Reimbursement Allocation-The City's financial officer shall be responsible for making the
"reimbursement allocations"described in the Regulations, being generally the transfer of the
appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary financing
used by the City to make payment of the prior costs of the projects. Each allocation shall be
evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Bonds,
shall specifically identify the actual prior expenditure being reimbursed, and shall be
effective to relieve the proceeds of the Bonds from any restriction under the bond resolution
or other relevant legal documents for the Bonds, and under any applicable state or federal
statute, which would apply to the unspent proceeds of such bond issue.

the community. Accepting the award, Mr. Asleson read the following quotes: "Every man owes
a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. No man has the
moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve conditions
within his sphere." (Theodore Roosevelt); and, "I'm just a plow hand from Arkansas but I've
learned how to hold a team together, how to lift men up, how to calm down others until they've
got one heartbeat together--a team. There's just three things I'd ever say: If anything goes bad, I
did it; if anything goes semi good, we did it; if anything goes real good,then you did it. That's
all it takes to get people to win football games for you." (Bear Bryant). Mr..Asleson emphasized
his appreciation for the award, and commended those who worked with him.
The second Mayor's Community Service Award was presented to Council Member Neal in

COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
PRESENTATION OF A CITY SURVEY, DECISION RESOURCES,BILL MORRIS
Mr. Morris presented a lengthy review of the Lino Lakes survey conducted in December, 1995,
stating that overall the results were very positive. In summary,he indicated that 402 randomly-
selected residents within the community were contacted and asked a variety of questions
regarding the quality of life in Lino Lakes.
The following community trends were clearly evidenced in this survey research:
1. City quality of life ratings were very solid in comparison with other Metropolitan Area
suburban communities. Rural ambience and open space, location, and peacefulness were
key positive attributes,while high taxes and high growth rates were a major negative. As
residents look to the future,there was concern expressed about both growth and
development, as well as property taxes.
2. City services were generally well-regarded. In one area,however,park and recreational
facilities,residents were more critical,particularly about the limited nature of offerings.
At present, a moderate property tax increase would be supported by a majority of
residents for two purposes: Completion of the neighborhood park system and/or
expansion of the trail system.
3. Residents were very concerned about property taxes in this study, a common finding in
other studies across the Metropolitan Area. But even so, they proved supportive of
certain increases for specific purposes: A new teen recreation program director and an
appropriate-sized community center.
4. Mayor and City Council ratings, as well as City Staff ratings, were among the highest in
the metropolitan Area suburbs. Customer service ratings were very high among those
who had contacted or visited City Hall and/or had knowledge about government
activities.
5. Public safety issues were not as salient in Lino lakes as in other communities.
Residential crime was the overwhelming key public safety concern. In fact, a majority
felt property crimes had increased in the community during the past five years. In light of
current attitudes, an aggressive organizational effort of Neighborhood Watch programs
would be met with substantial residential interest.
6. Development preferences were clear within the residential sample. A quality restaurant
and/or family-style restaurant led the list of priorities. A grocery store, walking trails,
and retail stores rounded out the general consensus. Neighborhood commercial centers
also enjoyed wide support.
7. The City, while doing a good job presently, needed to revisit its communications efforts.
In particular, cable television programming should be updated and made more user-
friendly. Additionally,the City may wish to proceed on the design of a web site for
computer-literate residents. However, in light of the general popularity and effectiveness
u
4
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
of the city newsletter, funds should not be diverted from this excellent publication to
undertake more experimental ways of communicating with the public.
Overall,residents were satisfied with their quality of life in the community, their neighborhoods,
their sense of safety, and their empowerment. However, the impact of growth was being
negatively experienced in the present as well as dreaded for the future. At the same time,
residents were especially sensitive to property tax increases. The ultimate challenge facing City
decision-makers will be the maintenance of its well-regarded services at reasonable costs during
times of stress caused by the demands of community growth.
UPDATE ON SEPTIC SYSTEM ORDINANCE, PETER KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel explained that on July 22, 1996 Council adopted Ordinance No. 08 - 96 amending
Chapter 403 of the individual sewer treatment systems with respect to inspection and pumping of
on-site septic systems. Because of its impact on the health and welfare of the community,the
City Building Department is using various media to inform and update the public with respect to
details of this important Ordinance,which goes into effect March 1, 1997. The Newsletter will
include an article and cable television Channel 16 has been televising this ordinance in its
entirety.
Mr. Kluegel stated that after January 1, 1997, notices will be sent to residents who have on-site
septic systems concerning cleaning and pumping of septic tanks. A second mailing will take
place if there is not sufficient response to the first mailing.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the companies currently used for local septic tank pumping
are qualified to do the inspections required by the Ordinance. Mr. Kluegel responded that they
are certified to do such inspections.
Mr. Schumacher asked about the administrative impact of implementing the suggested process.
Mr. Kluegel stated that the main administrative concern would be the volume of mailings that
would be required,and keeping track of how many on-site residences would need to participate.
PUBLIC HEARING,6:30 P.M. I-35W/TH 49 INTERCHANGE COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT AREA TRUNK UTILITIES,DAVID AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that on October 28, 1996 Council accepted the feasibility report and called
for a public hearing for the 35W/49 Interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utility
Project. The proposed project will provide water and sanitary sewer service to the property south
of 35W adjacent to Lake Drive. The proper notices have been mailed and published notifying
property owners of the public hearing pursuant to State Statutes.
Mr. Ahrens stated that this interchange has received a lot of interest from developers for
construction of commercial and light industrial businesses. He added that the City is currently
5
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
studying the concept of developing a Town Center at the southeast quadrant of the 35W/49
interchange. It is necessary that water main and sanitary sewer be extended to serve the �.
properties on the south side of 35W in order for the commercial and light industrial projects to
move ahead.
Mr. Ahrens described the proposed improvements as follows: The proposed improvements
include the construction of approximately 4,400 feet of sanitary sewer and water main.
Construction will start at the south end of the utility jacking under 35W to be completed by the
Centennial Middle School Utility Project. The utilities will extend north along the south side of
35W and the Oasis gas station to the west side of Lake Drive. The utilities are sized
appropriately to accommodate ultimate development of the properties in this area.
With respect to financing,Mr. Ahrens offered the following: The estimated costs for the project
are outlined in the feasibility report and are summarized below. The costs include a 10%
contingency allowance and a 30% allowance for engineering, legal and financing costs.
Improvement Amount
Sanitary Sewer $329,200
Water Main $253,300
Total $582,500
Project financing will follow the City of Lino Lakes policy on financing public improvements.
Trunk costs, including over sizing of pipes and extra depth construction, are proposed to be
funded by the City through the Area and Unit Fund. The remaining costs are proposed to be
funded by special assessments to benefiting properties. The following is a summary of funding
sources for the proposed project:
Funding Source Amount
Special Assessments $495,300
Area and Unit Funds 87,200
Total $582,500
Mr. Ahrens added that assessments to benefiting properties are proposed for this project
according to City Charter and State Statute. The proposed project is located in a portion of the
City that is exempt from the Charter. All public improvements in the subject area are subject to
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. Homesteads that exist in this area can petition against the
proposed improvements and delay any special assessments to their property until such time that
the property is no longer residential or until the property owner connects to the utilities. Each of
the three property owners that reside in this area has been contacted and it is expected that they
will sign a petition prior to the public hearing. Assessments are proposed at the following rates:
6
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
Sanitary Sewer Area Charge $1,983 per acre
Water Main Area Charge $2,114 per acre
Additional connection fees will be charged as properties develop.
Mr. Ahrens presented the proposed schedule for the project as follows:
Public Hearing November 25, 1996
Council Orders Project November 25, 1996
Council Approves Plans January 23, 1997
Council Authorizes Ad for Bids February 18, 1997
Bid Opening February 13, 1997
Council Awards Bid February 24, 1997
Construction Begins April 7, 1997
Substantial Completion June 2, 1997
Mr. Ahrens pointed out that the project could not be ordered at this meeting due to the absence of
two Council members. However,he indicated that a brief delay of the project should still keep
completion within two weeks of schedule.
Mayor Landers asked who petitioned against the project. Mr. Ahrens stated that the property
owners are the Skoglunds.
Mr. Wessel indicated that the overall intent of this project is to respond to the needs of area
property owners as well as the City Council's commitment to commercial economic development
as a priority. The subject area is predominately zoned commercial, and this is an effort to extend
utilities to make development possible in 1997.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the homes on Marchan Lane are out of the subject area. Mr.
Ahrens responded yes. Mr. Wessel pointed out that the Funkhauser property, although on
Marchan Lane, is also out of the area.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 8:32 P.M.
Ron Solfest, 162 Egreet Lane asked where replacement funding would come from should certain
property owners opt out of the assessment process. Mr. Ahrens explained that those who could
opt out of the assessment process represent a very minimal amount of the overall funding source.
,� Additionally, unit charges would account for additional funds as development occurs.
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
Sharon Lane, 532 77th Street, asked about the area not under Charter provisions. Mr. Wessel
explained that certain business development district property is subject to Statute 429 to allow
for assessment to commercial and light industrial areas that could not take place under the City
Charter.
Bernardine Skoglund, 7481 Lake Drive, asked why the parcel on which her home is located was
the only residential property assessed. Mr. Ahrens explained that the parcel on which the home
is located is the only parcel that directly fronts the area where the improvements will be installed.
Council Member Bergeson asked how the Tagg property would be effected by the proposed
project. Mr. Ahrens explained that one parcel of the Tagg's property qualifies for assessment
while the other does not.
Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 8:43 P.M. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

9
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
to construct industrial and commercial sites. Recently, Staff reviewed a proposal to construct an
Amoco station with attached restaurant at the corner of Main Street and Otter Lake Road. The
location of this proposal necessitates the construction of road and utilities to serve the site and
other undeveloped property in the area. This work is proposed to be completed under the same
contract as the Otter Lake Road realignment project planned for next Spring.
Mr. Ahrens explained that the City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility report at the
October 28, 1996 regular Council meeting. The report has been completed by the City's
engineering consultant TKDA, Inc. In accordance with Minnesota State Statute 429 and the Lino
Lakes City Charter,the feasibility report is to be received by the City Council and a public

purpose of the drainage study is to provide information for identifying possible improvements to
the drainage system that should be undertaken(such as ditch cleaning, culvert repair or
replacement).
This study is designated as a high priority task item in the City's Water Management Plan due to
known existing drainage problems and past problems with the ditch system. The cost of the
drainage study is for a not-to-exceed amount of$9,200.00 and will be funded by the Surface
Water Management Fund. This fund is supported by charges to developments in the City.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the City Council has already ordered a drainage study of
adjacent areas and asked Mr. Ahrens if doing this area at the same time as the adjacent areas will
save the City money. Mr. Ahrens said there is usually a cost savings when two or more projects
are studied at the same time.
Council Member Neal moved to approve the drainage study as proposed by Mr. Ahrens. Council
Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS -None.
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion of Tentative Offer to New Receptionist, Randy Schumacher- Mr. Schumacher
explained that City Staff has recently completed the search process to fill the vacant position of
City Hall receptionist. Over 200 applications were received for this opening, making the
selection process somewhat longer than normal. Using a point value selection criteria, the pool
was reduced to a group of fifteen candidates for personal interview. After a second interview
10
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
was completed on the top five candidates,the interview committee recommended Ms. Carri
Villella for the position of City Hall receptionist. Her starting date would be December 12, 1996,
and would be considered probationary for six months. Ms. Villella would start at Step I of the
pay plan for that position.
Staff recommended that Ms. Villella be hired effective December 12, 1996.
Council Member Bergeson asked if this individual is the same one currently occupying that
position on a temporary basis. Mr. Schumacher responded yes.
Council Member Neal asked if there is presently an eligibility list. Mr. Schumacher explained
that a list of the top four remaining candidates would be retained for use in the event there is an
issue with Ms. Villella.
Mayor Landers asked if a portion of the probationary period could be waived since Ms. Villella
has occupied the position for some time on a temporary basis. Mr. Schumacher indicated that
Ms. Villella has thus far been employed on a contract basis and that, according to personnel
policy, she must be employed by the City for the full six months in order to satisfy the
probationary requirement.
Council Member Neal moved to hire Carri Villella as the receptionist starting December 12,
1996. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion.
Council Member Bergeson asked why the offer would be effective December 16, 1996. Mr.
Schumacher explained that Ms. Villella needs the interim in which to provide notice to her
current employer.
Motion carried unanimously.
Christmas Lights Contest, Council Member Neal - Council Member Neal requested that Lino
Lakes have a Christmas lights contest with the Park Department arrange.for judging with first,
second and third prizes totaling $100.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the Park Department would recommend approval of such an
activity. Council Member Neal responded yes, and that the Park Department would present a
formal proposal at a subsequent Council meeting.
Mayor Landers expressed concern about fire issues.
Disbursements - Mayor Landers asked for questions regarding the disbursements represented by
checks 46072 through 46178, totaling $241,865.67.
Council Member Neal questioned a bill for $12,437.19 for a special investigator and lawyer to
investigate the City. Council Member Neal expressed opposition to payment of this fee because
II
COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996
the Charter states that only the Mayor and two Council Members can order an investigation. In
this case the City Attorney and one Council Member decided. Council Member Neal indicated
his approval of the balance of the disbursements contained in the list of disbursements
recommended for approval.
Council Member Bergeson suggested that the above item be removed from the complete list of
disbursements recommended for approval. Council Member Bergeson stated that he believes the
resulting report is incomplete.
Council Member Neal asked about additional charges due for this item. Mayor Landers verified
that the current bill is not final.
Mr. Hawkins explained that the Mayor and two Council Members are not required by the
Charter to approve the ordering of such an investigation. He added that based upon his
determination that probable cause existed for an investigation, he obtained a referral of an
attorney qualified to conduct such an investigation and report to Mr. Hawkins whether or not
additional information could be obtained. This individual reported that there was a complaint
which extended beyond the City employee to Council members. Based upon that information,
Mr. Hawkins reported same to the City Administrator. After the investigation was underway,he
Hawkins notified Mayor Landers and Council met with the investigator to review preliminary
reports. Mr. Hawkins stated that the investigation was necessary and that the bill is valid and
should be paid. He also added there was an obligation on the part of the City to conduct such an
investigation.
Council Member Bergeson stated that the investigator was to perform a two-part function: There
was to be a workplace investigation, as well as suggested options for Council action based upon
the report. In Council Member Bergeson's opinion,the report as it exists is incomplete until the
investigator's suggested options are presented to Council in writing. Council Member Bergeson
agrees that it is not appropriate to pay the investigator's charges until the entire assignment has
been completed.
Council Member Bergeson moved that the proposed payment to Leonard, Street and Deihnart of
$12,437.19 be tabled for further discussion, and that the remainder of the disbursements be
approved.
Mayor Landers agreed that the report is incomplete.
Mr. Hawkins asked if the investigator's reference to "approaches to remedial action" was the
information now being requested to complete this assignment. Council Member Bergeson
responded yes, adding that with regard to personnel matters, complete data in writing should be
provided.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
