1. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding Metal Roofs – City Planner 16
Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation that included information on: 17
- Background (situation that brought up the question), City regulations; 18
- Neighboring communities (how they regulate metal roofs); 19
- Planning & Zoning Board voted to support text amendment (4-3 vote); 20
- Staff concerns;; 21
- Seeking council direction 22
- First reading of ordinance allowing text amendment is on next council agenda 23
pending council action. 24
25
Mayor Rafferty noted information provided on what other cities allow. He also noted 26
that the packet included additional information in the form of You Tube videos. One type 27
is referred to as an “egg panel” because it’s been associated with rural areas. He is not in 28
favor of changing the guidelines as they currently exist. 29
30
Councilmember Lyden said he is reviewing information carefully and thinking that 31
standing seam may be appropriate in R-1 areas but exterior fasteners could be allowed in 32
rural. 33
34
Councilmember Stoesz said he’s spoken with roofing contractors and building 35
professionals and no one he spoke with supported outside fasteners. He is particularly 36
concerned about the screws and how the color will hold up over time. 37
38
Councilmember Ruhland said he reached out to a roofing contractor also; he is starting to 39
understand that residential isn’t appropriate. 40
41
Since the subject and an action has come forward from the Planning and Zoning Board, it 42
would be appropriate for formal council consideration. 43

2. Emerald Ash Borer Injection Program – Environmental Coordinator Nelson 45
first updated the council on the Tree City Initiative. It’s a program that gives recognition 46
for efforts in the area of trees. He is working to bring that back to the City after a couple 47
years of not participating. 48
49
Mr. Nelson then reviewed his written report on the possibility of starting an injection 50
program to deal with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation in the City. He updated the 51
council on the current situation for trees on public property and the goal of 100 injections 52
per year. Staff also responds to residents on their questions about trees on private 53
property; sometimes providing a path to treatment. There is an existing program that 54
could be helpful to residents; he reviewed the benefits and noted that many other cities are 55
already participating in the program. City staff would remain the primary remover of 56
trees; the program relates to treatment only. Without the program, the cost to residents 57
would be higher. 58
59
Councilmember Lyden confirmed that there are boulevard trees being removed; overall he 60
wonders what purpose injection will serve. Mr. Nelson said the removals are always tied 61
to replacement and the cost related to it. Councilmember Lyden said he feels that if there 62
is a diseased tree it should be removed. 63
64
Mayor Rafferty asked for more information on costs. Mr. Nelson said he will prepare 65
additional information on cost analysis. Mr. Nelson noted that there is also a possibility 66
of grant funding to reduce the City’s cost. 67
68
Environmental Coordinator Nelson explained that the City’s park staff is very involved 69
and very helpful in keeping outside costs low. The program itself is free to set up 70
(postcard, etc). 71
72
Councilmember Ruhland asked if there is a standard for tree replacement perhaps at a 73
lower cost. Mr. Nelson said that can be investigated; he offered additional information on 74
the downside of planting a smaller diameter tree. 75
76
Councilmember Stoesz asked if there could be two vendors for the program, in order to 77
have some selection and perhaps price competition. Mr. Nelson noted that residents 78
wouldn’t be required to choose the company in the program and further the company 79
selected by the City for the pathway information will have to meet certain criteria. 80
81
Mayor Rafferty said he likes the concept brought forward by Mr. Nelson. It meets a level 82
of specification (by having a vendor to recommend) and provides a route for residents 83
who are interested. This will not come forward as a requirement to residents but provides 84
options. 85
86
Councilmember Cavegn remarked that if this is a no cost program that will work to 87
provide information to residents, he doesn’t see any problem moving forward. 88
89

Mayor Rafferty remarked that taking down only what can be replaced is well thought out. 90
91
Councilmember Ruhland asked if there is a time line for replacement of trees that are 92
removed and Mr. Nelson said there is a tree planting effort each year. 93
94
The council concurred to move forward with the program as staff has explained it. 95
96
Community Development Director Grochala noted that this would provide a unit price to 97
the City in case we wish to move with an injection program, and at the same time end up 98
providing an opportunity for the residents. 99
100
3. Solid Waste Hauler Licensing – Environmental Coordinator Nelson reviewed his 101
written report. Historically the council has discussed the possibility of reducing the 102
number of licenses available in the City but through attrition. He has provided data in his 103
report on the number of trucks using city streets and options to address that if it is a 104
concern. Staff is seeking direction on licensing going forward. 105
106
Mayor Rafferty noted that there appears to be some difficulties in repealing licenses. 107
108
Community Development Director Grochala explained that the City Code sets up the 109
system of attrition to four licenses and that is where it stands now. To go lower, the City 110
Code would have to be amended. 111
112
Councilmember Ruhland received an explanation of the license fee structure. He asked if 113
staff is having difficulty getting reports from any haulers. Mr. Nelson explained the 114
process and the City’s need for information. He is supportive of maintaining the free 115
market after having some experience with a hauler. 116
117
Mayor Rafferty said there is a valid thought about the use of streets but he is very open to 118
the free market. 119
120
Councilmember Cavegn said he supports the free market but is interested in the possibility 121
of reducing numbers, noting that the trucks are very heavy and very hard on streets. He 122
noted that the City of Farmington operates its own solid waste service and perhaps that 123
should be investigated because that seems like a good long term goal. 124
125
Councilmember Stoesz said he supports continuing with a free market system. 126
127
Councilmember Lyden noted his past council experience and finding that people are 128
passionate about their haulers; he can see reducing by attrition from four to three. 129
130
Mayor Rafferty asked if the ordinance would have to be modified. Mr. Grochala said that 131
would be expected. 132
133
Councilmember Stoesz recommended that an update to ordinance should include an 134
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DRAFT

explanation that the City isn’t attempting to get rid of any current hauler. 135
136
Councilmember Ruhland asked the City Engineer if the plans to add additional inches to 137
the streets being redone will help and Ms. Hankee said it should. 138
139
Councilmember Stoesz asked if there is interest in the City putting together standards for 140
Christmas tree pick up and Mr. Nelson said he believes there are some standards (a 141
timeline) in place. 142
143
The council concurred that an ordinance amendment would be considered that would 144
provide for the single attrition option. Mr. Grochala said staff will work on the details 145
and bring something forward. 146
147
4. Liquor License Fee Refund Review – City Clerk Bartell repor ted that bars and 148
restaurants in the City are currently under a State mandate that does not allow them to be 149
open to sell on-sale intoxicating beverages. Since the City issues on-sale licenses and 150
previously offered a partial license refund for a previous mandate, staff is seeking council 151
direction on offering the same for the current situation. The council asked for additional 152
information on the establishments that are impacted and the refund amounts. 153
154
The council will consider a refund plan at the next regular meeting. 155
156
5. Hard Court Development at Birch Street/Centerville Road – Public Services 157
Director DeGardner reviewed his written report outlining a proposal to develop hard 158
court facilities. Staff is looking for council direction on proceeding wit h the plans. 159
160
Councilmember Stoesz asked if the proposal includes lighting and Mr. DeGardner said the 161
facilities would be unlit. Councilmember Stoesz asked about moving closer to the fire 162
station so they could also use parking if necessary; Mr. DeGardner advised that they have 163
recommended what they feel is the best location for parking. 164
165
Councilmember Lyden asked about including some water facilities and Mr. DeGardner 166
said he will investigate. 167
168
Councilmember Cavegn asked about creation of a safe crosswalk area for nearby residents 169
(Nadeau Acres in particular). Mr. DeGardner said those residents could safely cross at 170
the closest four way stopped intersection. Community Development Director Grochala 171
said there is a trail planned for Birch Street in the future and there is a trail from Nadeau 172
Acres to Birch Street. 173
174
Councilmember Ruhland asked about land that is owned by the City in the area and what 175
facilities it will accommodate. Mr. DeGardner said, at this point, this would be the extent 176
of development but the City could of course develop additional facilities in the future. 177
178
Mayor Rafferty said he is in favor of moving forward. Councilmember Lyden said he 179
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DRAFT
5
favors the idea also and noted that while he is concerned about the safe access for 180
children, he sees the facilities will most ly not be for children. Councilmember Stoesz 181
suggested that the main park entrance should be pushed up the road (entrance more from 182
the east side so people coming up Birch understand to keep going); can that be done with 183
signage? Mr. DeGardner promised to keep that in mind as staff looks at signage. 184
185
The council concurred with the staff proposal and will see the matter on the next council 186
agenda. 187
188
6. Discuss Potential Dog Park – Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his 189
written report. The topic of a dog park was previously discussed (2014) and he’s 190
provided background from that time. The requirements of developing a dog park were 191
reviewed and he noted some additional information that should be considered. If the 192
council remains interested, he recommends the subject be sent to the Park Board for their 193
review. Mr. DeGardner noted two dog parks currently operating in the vicinity of Birch 194
Street. 195
196
Mayor Rafferty noted the facilities that are currently available. He’s found the facilities 197
good, varied and easy to use. There is a fee involved at those parks. Perhaps it makes 198
sense to look to Anoka County. 199
200
Councilmember Cavegn said he likes the idea of a dog park but not at this location. He’d 201
like to see an area less served than this one and perhaps near an industrial area. 202
203
Councilmember Ruhland remarked that he’d like to see something from the County as 204
well; he hears there is another large dog park within two miles and that seems like good 205
service. 206
207
Mayor Rafferty suggested taking it to the next level with the County. 208
209
Councilmember Lyden said he recognizes the recreation needs of the City. Whether it is 210
done by Anoka County or the City, he is highly supportive of a dog park facility. He 211
noted benefits to residents and not just dogs. Would the council like to see the matter 212
sent to the Park Board just for their discussion and Mayor Rafferty said he’d prefer to first 213
have the discussion with the County. 214
215
7. Cleaning Services – Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his written 216
report updating the council on the contract for cleaning services. Based on poor 217
performance of the current provider, he is providing information on contracting with the 218
largest cleaning service in the area. He is proposing a six month contract to gauge 219
service. If the council approves, he will place the matter on the next council agenda. 220
221
Councilmember Cavegn said he is open to a change; he asked why the City moved from 222
JaniKing in the past? Administrato r Cotton said it was performance related and there 223
have been similar concerns with the current provider; she doesn’t feel the City is getting 224

what it is paying for. In response to a question about an increase in cost, Mr. Cotton said 225
the new contractor would be spending more time; they will be expected to perform in the 226
six months allowed and if not, staff will be reporting back. Mr. DeGardner said, if this 227
doesn’t work out, staff will also look at options for in house cleaning. 228
229
Councilmember Stoesz noted that he likes the code system that Marsden uses to show 230
where their people are and doing the work. Mr. DeGardner said they have displayed a 231
high level of professionalism. 232
233
Councilmember Lyden said he will support the staff request but asked some questions 234
about the timing of removing trash. 235
236
Councilmember Stoesz asked that the contract include language to recognize that they 237
don’t have to work on holidays? Mr. DeGardner said holidays are taken into account 238
when the contract is developed. 239
240
8. Annual Advisory Board Appointments – City Clerk Bartell reviewed the staff 241
report. The advisory board openings and applicants were overviewed. Staff is seeking 242
direction on an interview process. 243
244
The council will interview applicants where for the Environmental, Planning and Zoning 245
Board and new applicants. The interviews will be scheduled for a Zoom meeting in 246
January and additional applications will be accepted in the meantime. 247
248
9. Council Updates on Boards/Commissions, City Council – There were no 249
updates. 250
251
Review Regular Agenda of December 14, 2020- 252
253
Budget Discussion - Finance Director Lynch reviewed the items that will be coming 254
forward for the council’s consideration of adopting the 2021 budget. 255
256
Mayor Rafferty remarked that the budget discussion (preliminary) in September included 257
an estimate on county valuations. He’d like an update from those preliminary discussions. 258
For instance, a part time communications position was not included. Also regarding 259
police officer positions, the council approved one officer position to start in September of 260
2021; what was approved for the investigative assistant position starting in May 2021. 261
262
Councilmember Lyden said he may be guilt y of looking at the bottom line, but he doesn’t 263
need that detail right now because he is very comfortable with where the bottom line 264
comes out. In the future perhaps a better system in place to review the details. 265
266
Director Swenson recalled that the police officer situation was discussed at length and the 267
investigative position was added in lieu of an officer; there was no direction from the 268
council to remove the position from the budget and the position has been included in every 269
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DRAFT
7
budget presented since then. Councilmember Stoesz remarked that the real impact for the 270
position will be seen fully in 2022. The council concurred that the position is included. 271
272
It was clarified that the purchase of a gator boat was moved forward in the capital 273
program. 274
275
Items no ted by the Mayor: included, but not limited to, Park Center medians, Rice Lake 276
Estates lights, trailer mounted message board, no on the street maintenance worker, 277
Wensel Farms replacement, Fiber engineering wood for playground, $5,000 for the parks, 278
Reshenau repairs, Sunset Park, Marshan boardwalk removal, recreation coordinator (no), 279
pavement management (change downward), marked patrol. 280
281
Mayor Rafferty noted the contingency amount. Administrator Cotton said the 282
contingency has not been at the current level in her time with the City; should the funds be 283
transferred for park use? There is no budgeted funds for this year going to the parks and 284
trails fund. It makes sense to think about how that will be brought up to the $90,000 285
budget in 2022. 286
287
Mayor Rafferty talked about creating a fund for parks and trails repairs, to address matters 288
that come up. Not for this year but maybe next year. 289
290
The mayor said the council has worked hard to get where it is at with the budget. He 291
suggests bringing the contingency down to $75,000 and taking the reminder to bring the 292
parks fund to $60,000 with a supplement from the closed bond fund of $22,000. 293
Administrator Cotton said the $22,000 should come from the General Fund Reserve 294
because she thinks that would work best; that would also not have an impact on the tax 295
rate. 296
297
The council expressed support for the change, funded from the General Fund Reserve. 298
Councilmember Stoesz remarked that, if the funds aren’t used for the parks, the council 299
should be able to bring the funds back. The budget actions provided in the packet will be 300
amended to reflect. 301
302
Moving back to the council agenda budget approval items, Ms. Lynch explained the 303
budget amendments noting that many on the revenue side have to deal with COVID 19. 304
On the expenditure side the amendments relate mainly to personnel savings, parts and 305
supplies, and contracted service. The budget adds $315,000 to the General Fund Reserve 306
as a result of amendments (keeping the City at the 50% reserve balance). 307
308
Final reporting on the Coronavirus Relief fund is Item 2C. Ms. Lynch reported that the 309
full amount granted was used and staff is coming forward with a final report (broken out 310
by expenditure categories outlined by the state); staff is also asking the council to approve 311
a federal grants policy. The council concurred. 312
313
3A) Metro INET IT Services and Execution of Joint Powers Agreement for Services – 314
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DRAFT
8
Administrator Cotton reviewed the report explaining the conversion of the service to a 315
joint powers agreement (JPA) arrangement. The agreement has been thoroughly 316
reviewed. The proposed JPA elements are outlined in the staff report and while it is 317
proposed to begin in January 2021, there are elements that will evolve. The City will be 318
the fifth largest member of the consortium and that will be reflected in voting structure. 319
Staff doesn’t expect an increase in costs in 2021. 320
321
The council discussed membership on the joint powers board. Each member 322
(jurisdiction) will get a member and alternate. Councilmember Stoesz noted the 323
Laserfiche arrangement and how that could be impacted; Ms. Cotton said she doesn’t see 324
any transition from Laserfiche in the near future but, if that happens, it would be a decision 325
of the board. Councilmember Stoesz said he doesn’t want to hamper the City’s ability to 326
move ahead with technology. 327
328
3B) Keystone Classification System – Administrator Cotton reviewed the staff report. 329
With the council’s direction, staff proceeded with a classification study and reported 330
results to the council. The report has been discussed with the City’s labor bargaining 331
units and she has a tentative agreement. Staff is seeking approval for this system to 332
replace the current personnel classification system. Councilmember Lyden asked if any 333
employees would receive a decrease; Ms. Cotton said one employee will be redlined and 334
has been informed. 335
336
3C) through 3G) – Labor Agreements and Non Represented Employee Compensation – 337
Administrator Cotton updated the council on two outstanding tentative agreements. 338
Mayor Rafferty said he has believed it important to get the union contracts in place and 339
then look at non-represented. 340
341
5A) Marsden Contract – A change in services has been discussed by the council. 342
Councilmember Stoesz asked if staff will return to council after six months or would an 343
extension be administrative. Ms. Cotton suggested that she envisions perhaps a consent 344
item to make the council aware. 345
346
6B) Poehling Addition, Final Plat and Development Agreement – Planner Larsen 347
explained plans to subdivide the lot. There were variances already approved. This is 348
final plat (plan) coming forward. 349
350
6C) Denying a Setback Variance for a Deck at 842 Lois Lane – City Planner Larsen 351
reported. The council had no questions. 352
353
6D) Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding Metal Roofs on Single Family 354
Dwellings – The matter was discussed in detail earlier in the work session. 355

Chris Stowe, 426 Pine Street, addressed the council regarding his property and his attempt to get a 19
conditional use permit. He believes that there is already a conditional use permit for the property for 20
his purpose. He has questions and wants to keep the council abreast of the situation. There is also 21
an issue wit h the City and wetlands. Mayor Rafferty asked the City Engineer to contact Mr. Stowe 22

65
Councilmember Lyden thanked his fellow councilmembers and the staff for holding down taxes for next 66
year. He thinks it would be helpful to property owners for the City to provide a comparison between 2020 67
and 2021 payable. Ms. Lynch clarified that the overall tax amount mentioned in her presentation was 68
based on the other taxing jurisdiction’s preliminary budgets so there could be some reduction in those. She 69
also noted that the multijurisdictional calculation was based only on the Centennial School district figures 70
although there are other school districts that serve and tax in Lino Lakes. 71
72
Mayor Rafferty noted that it’s been clear from the onset of budget discussions that staff and the council 73
would work hard, including through a pandemic, to bring forward an appropriate budget. 74

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT 104
3A) Authorize Entering into a Joint Powers Agreement with Metro-INET for IT Services – 105
City Administrator Cotton explained that the City has been a member of the consortium since 2004. 106
This year, however, efforts were underway to establish provision of services under a joint powers 107
agreement (JPA). She noted that at a previous meeting there was information presented to the council 108
indicating why these services remain the best value for the City. As for the JPA document, it has been 109
thoroughly reviewed including by the City’s attorney. It is expected to take most of 2021 to transition 110
to the JPA but it would be effective as of January 2, 2021. Staff is recommending that the council 111
authorize entering into the JPA for City IT services. 112
Mayor Rafferty remarked that he’s seen the services and level of technology needed by the City and 113
provided by Metro INET change over the course of years. 114
Councilmember Stoesz asked about facilities to be used; will the offices and data center remain at 115
Roseville. If expansion of those facilit ies is required, how can the City ensure it is treated equitably 116
(not subsidizing Roseville facilities with Lino Lakes taxpayer money). Ms. Cotton explained that one 117
of the issues with the current operation is that there is a lot of space used at the City of Roseville and 118
that City needs their space. So she suspects there may be a move to use space at member facilities. 119
Many details such as that question will be worked out over the coming year by the board. 120
121
Councilmember Lyden moved to authorize execution of the Joint Powers Agreement as presented. 122
Councilmember Stoesz seconded the motion. Motion carried: Yeas, 5; Nays none. 123
3B) Consider Resolution No. 20-162, Approving the Keystone Compensation Classification 124
System- City Administrator Cotton explained that staff is requesting that the council approve a new 125

related to pay equity and internal equity. The council received a presentation on the system, the 127
system was presented to the employee labor unions and staff is now requesting council approval. 128

reviewed her written report. Restaurants and bars in Lino Lakes are impacted by the State’s 163
emergency mandate and they are no longer able to sell on-sale beverages. As the City did previously 164
this year, staff is requesting that the council authorize a liquor license fee refund to on-sale license 165
holders to be applied as a future fee credit. The terms of the refund plan would be similar to what 166
was offered under the earlier emergency State mandate. 167
Councilmember Ruhland moved to approve the refund plan as presented. Councilmember Cavegn 168

Marsden Services – Public Services Director DeGardner reviewed his written report that provides the 174
history of cleaning services contracted for City facilities, the current dissatisfaction with the services 175
provided despite attempts to receive better services, and staff’s recommendation to enter a new 176
contract with Marsden Services. The period of the proposed contract is six months which will allow 177
the City to evaluate Marsden’s services. 178
Councilmember Lyden noted the amount of detail provided by the proposed contractor. If their 179
services are as detailed, there won’t be any more problems. 180
Mayor Rafferty thanked staff for looking for a way to do better. 181
Councilmember Cavegn moved to approve Resolution No. 20-148 as presented. Councilmember 182

5B) Consider Approval of Resolution No. 20-150, Authorize the Preparation of Plans and 184
Specs, Hard Court Facility at Birch Street and Centerville Road - Public Services Director 185
DeGardner reviewed his written report requesting council authorization to proceed with planning for 186
the development of certain hard court facilities. Mr. DeGardner reviewed how the work would be 187
funded, an estimated schedule for the project, and the proposed contractor. 188
Councilmember Stoesz asked if there is any coordination with the Emerald Ash Borer program and tree 189
planting for this project. Mr. DeGardner said park staff will handle the tree element. 190
Councilmember Cavegn mentioned his concerns: location (not a large population to serve); taking 191
park dedication funds from a development; and the many needs for existing parks. 192
Councilmember Lyden asked that the matter be tabled: all park needs should be considered in the 193
discussion for funding and more examination of that information is important ; the council must 194
prioritize the needs with all parties including the community. 195
Director DeGardner responded with discussion of facilities that are currently available (hard court), the 196
popularity of pickleball, and the opportunity to serve that area of the city. He also noted the council 197
discussion and designation of funds for the project in 2018. 198
Councilmember Stoesz said he isn’t opposed to having more discussion about parks, however, he has 199
followed this project coming forward. He would like to understand more about cost. He would be in 200
favor at this point because the council will have another opportunity to vote. 201
Director DeGardner remarked that the plans and specifications element is very expensive and he 202
wouldn’t recommend going down that road without certainty of moving forward. 203
Mayor Rafferty recalled discussions about a project and the thought that landscaping could be 204
coordinated with the water tower project. He spoke about the location and that he sees the need for 205
services in the area. He added that park dedication funds from the Stoneybrooke development were 206
used previously for a trail. 207
Director DeGardner said there is certainly potential on this land to incorporate amenities such as 208
playground improvements in the future. This gets a project going but it doesn’t have to be limit ed. 209
Mayor Rafferty suggested that the main mission here is to decide what’s appropriate currently. He is 210
in favor of moving forward to getting things moving. He noted the council’s recent budget decision to 211
move some funds from contingency that will be used for parks. 212

- Zoning Requirements; 224
- Planning and Zoning consideration (citizen comments were reviewed); 225

Councilmember Lyden asked if the question relating to storm water was resolved. Ms. Larsen 228
explained that issues such as storm water will be addressed in the process going forward in preparation 229
of the final plat. 230
Councilmember Stoesz asked about Lot 2. Ms. Larsen said the house pad is shown and that meets the 231
setback requirements; as of right now the size of a property isn’t determined. 232
Mayor Rafferty suggested that the Planning and Zoning Board look at the setbacks requirements 233
overall. 234

requirements for floodplain mitigation. 245
Councilmember Lyden said he is sometimes surprised at numbers, noting the costs to the property 246
owner for a subdivision such as this. It’s an established property that has been paying taxes to the city. 247
He sees a resident developing their property different ly from an outside developer. He’d like to see 248
park dedication fees waived. Ms. Larsen explained that the fees would be applied only to the one lot. 249

the City stepping up and getting the road improved so that the lot can be subdivided. 252
Community Development Director Grochala suggested that the council doesn’t have the authority at 253
this point to waive a park dedication fee. It would be an arbitrary action favoring one developer. 254

- Background; staff directed to look at metal roof requirements; 269
- Looked at neighboring communities; 270
- Discussed at recent work session; left with impression that the exposed fasteners wouldn’t be 271
appropriate; 272
- Action presented to the council is the Planning and Zoning Board’s so if the council do esn’t 273
wish to concur, the absence of a motion would conclude the matter. 274
Councilmember Lyden said he isn’t opposed to allowing exposed fasteners in rural areas. He’s seen 275
areas where the exposed fasteners are already in place. What would happen if one of those property 276
owners needed to work on their roof? 277

AGENDA ITEM 1E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: December 28, 2020
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 20-170, Approving Sale of Wetland Bank
Credits, Wetland Credit Agency
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to approve the sale of .0689 acres (3,001.28 SF) of
wetland credit from bank 1122 (Otter Lake) and 1.77 acres from bank 1601 (Wollan) for a total
purchase price of $181,929.21 plus transaction fees.
BACKGROUND
The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) requires replacement of any construction related wetland
impacts on a per square foot basis. Minnesota's wetland banking program includes both private
and state-sponsored wetland banks which have "credit s" that are used to offset (mitigate)
authorized wetland impacts. The banks are subject to approval of both the Minnesota Board of
Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The City
currently has two banks in place.
Bank No. 1122 (Otter Lake) is located east of I-35E and south of CSAH 14. This bank has .0689
credits remaining. This bank is not ACOE approved. Credits can only be used for wetland
impacts not under ACOE jurisdiction. Bank No. 1601 (Wollan) is located west of Lake Drive
and north of Main Street. The bank has .9898 acres of non ACOE credits and 4.1237acres of
ACOE approved credits.
Staff has received a request to purchase wetland credits from Wetland Credit Agency, Inc. The
purchase agreement provides for the sale of credits subject to approval of the wetland mitigation
plan by the local, state, and federal regulator agencies.
The buyer is requesting purchase of .0689 acres of credit from bank 1122, in the amount of
$6,302.70 ($2.10/SF) and .9898 acres of non ACOE credits from bank 1601, in the amount of
$90,542.94 ($2.10/SF). Additionally, the buyer is requesting purchase of .7813 acres of ACOE
certified credits from bank 1601 in the amount of $85,083.57 ($2.50/SF).
