Mayor Rafferty stated that he would review the conditions of the citation with staff and follow
up with Mr. Miho.
Catherine Decker, 614 Pine Street, Lino Lakes, stated that her property is located along the
northeast side of the Nature’s Refuge North development. She stated that she believes the City
of Lino Lakes, Rice Creek Watershed District and the developer M|I Homes are actively violating
drainage and grading laws. She stated that she will pursue legal action if these violations are not
immediately corrected. She stated that there is documentation that the grading plan shows the
developer has raised the ground elevation higher than the adjoining properties including her
property. She stated that the drainage path, which has historically carried water off their land
has been cut off. She stated that M|I Homes has built a retaining wall of dirt at the property line,
turning neighboring parcels into receiving basins for storm water. There is no functioning swale,
no permanent outlet, no drainage easement protecting existing residents. She reviewed city
code, watershed district rules, and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations, related to
adverse drainage impacts on adjacent properties.
Ms. Decker stated that if this project continues without a properly designated perimeter swale
along the northeast boundary to a recorded drainage easement protecting affected
homeowners, and there isn’t independent verification that runoff will not exceed pre-
development levels. She will initiate a civil lawsuit naming M|I Homes, the City of Lino Lakes and
any responsible engineers as defendants. She stated that she expects an immediate enforcement
of the rules, a stop work order on the northeast section, and full transparency regarding all storm
water and grading documents. If that does not happen voluntarily it will happen through the
court.
Chris Stowe, 426 Pine Street, Lino Lakes, expressed his strong opposition to the City owning and
operating a cannabis retail business while also issuing business licenses to private competitors.
The City’s role is to regulate businesses, not to compete with private citizens. He stated that by
entering the cannabis business the city exposes itself to enormous legal liability when a private
customer leaves a city owned dispensary impaired and causes and accident.
Mr. Stowe stated that the Minnesota Constitution prohibits public funds from being used
privately or for private or proprietary ventures. He stated that any resident of Lino Lakes has a
legal standing to challenge this decision in court. If the Council proceeds, it is inviting litigation
and public scrutiny, and he will be among those ready to pursue both. The City of Lino Lakes
should not be in business. It should be supporting businesses. He urged the Council to
immediately withdraw any city involvement in cannabis.
Mr. Stowe stated that on another matter he wanted to address the serious drainage problem
affecting his neighbors and other nearby properties. He stated that the problem his property is
experiencing right now is historically the drainage that flowed south from their properties, and
then west through the culvert where the new road is being built and into the ditch south of Andall
Street is now flowing north of Andall Street. And the Andal Street pipe is two feet too high. He
stated that he has been complaining about that pipe being too high for years now. He said the
Page 44 of 101

city needs to lower the pipes because the building alternations are flooding him out worse than
before.
Motion to close the public comment period at 6:46 p.m.

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 3E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025
TOPIC: Declaring Intent to Reimburse with Bond Proceeds
i. Consider Resolution No. 25-155, Declaring Intent to
Reimburse Certain Expenditures from Bond Proceeds,
Public Works Building
ii. Consider Resolution No. 25-156, Declaring Intent to
Reimburse Certain Expenditures from Bond Proceeds,
Otter Lake Road Extension Project
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council approval to declare the City’s intent to reimburse itself from bond
proceeds for the proposed 2026 Capital Improvement Projects.
BACKGROUND
The City is in the process of preparing plans and specifications for the reconstruction of the
Public Works Building and the Otter Lake Road Extension project. Both projects are proposed
for improvement in 2026.
The Public Works Building is proposed to be financed by the issuance of Lease Revenue Bonds.
The Otter Lake Road Extension project is proposed to be financed by a combination of General
Obligation and Utility Revenue Bonds.
The Internal Revenue Code requires cities to declare their intent to reimburse project costs
incurred prior to receipt of bond proceeds. Preliminary expenditures such as architectural,
engineering, surveying, bond issuance, and similar costs are exempt from this provision.
Reimbursement of land and construction costs requires the resolution. The total amount of
bonds issued may be less than the authorized limit.
Approval of the reimbursement bond resolution does not obligate the City to issue bonds.

DATE: November 3, 2025
TIME STARTED: 6:00 P.M.
TIME ENDED: 8:04 P.M.
LOCATION: Community Room
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Rafferty Councilmembers Ruhland (arrived at 6:03 p.m.), Lyden,
Stoesz and Cavegn
ABSENT: None
Staff Members Present: City Administrator Karen Anderson, City Clerk Roberta Colotti,
Community Development Director Mike Grochala, City Planner Katie Larsen, Chief of Police Curt
Boehme, Fire Chief Dan L’Allier and Public Service Director Rick DeGardner.
1. Call to Order and Roll Call
Mayor Rafferty called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
2. Setting the Agenda: Addition or Deletion of Agenda Items
The agenda was adopted as presented.
3. 2026 Public Improvement Project Financing
The Community Development Director introduced Jason Aarsvold, Senior Municipal
Advisor, with Ehlers.
Mr. Aarsvold presented a recommendation for funding the 2026 Improvement Projects,
including the Otter Lake Road Extension Project and the Public Works Building
Construction. The projects will be funded with a combination of bonds and cash on
hand. He reviewed the city’s bonding authority, timeline and process. He reviewed the
alternatives to the proposed financing plan.
Council Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Council to move forward with the financing plan as
proposed.
4. Lino Lakes Dealership and Offices – Motor Vehicle Sales Lot Conditional Use Permit
The City Planner presented the land use application for Lino Lakes Dealership and
Offices. The proposed development is a motor vehicle sales lot and office building. The
property address is 7920 Lake Drive. The applicant Tyler Heubsch (DBA Dealer Units) has
submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit for Motor Vehicle Sales Lot and a
Site Improvement Performance Agreement.
Page 56 of 101
Page 2 of 5
The City Council did not favor the use at this location given the surrounding land uses,
traffic flow, and location on the corner of Lake Drive and Kelly Street.
The City Planner reported that this item will be brought forward for formal action at the
November 10, 2025 City Council meeting.
5. ATV / Golf Carts on Public Streets
The Chief of Police reported that City Code Chapter 807, Subd. 03 regulates the
operation of ATVs and snowmobiles. Current city code allows snowmobiles to operate
on city streets at speeds under 15 mph, while ATVs are prohibited from operating on
any city street. The ordinance does not address the use of golf carts; and since their use
is not explicitly permitted, it is prohibited by default.
The Chief of Police reported that Minnesota Statute 169.045 authorizes the governing
body of any city to permit, by ordinance, the operation of motorized golf carts, all-
terrain vehicles, utility task vehicles, or mini trucks on designated roadways under its
jurisdiction.
The statute requires that the city ordinance:
• Designate the specific roadways where operation is allowed.
• Limit hours of operation unless the vehicle is equipped with original headlights
taillights, and rear-facing brake lights.
• Prohibit operation during inclement weather.
• Require the display of a slow-moving vehicle emblem.
Authorization to operate a motorized golf cart, all-terrain vehicle, utility task vehicles, or
mini truck must be granted through a permit process. Minnesota Statute establishes
that the permits may not exceed three years.
If the city proceeds, it would need to adopt a permit fee schedule and collect sufficient
information to determine permit eligibility. Permit fees in other communities range
from no fee to $30. The permit would require at the minimum:
• Name and address of the applicant
• Model name, make, and year and number of the vehicle
• Driver's license information
• Insurance and registration in compliance with the provisions of Minn. Statutes
Police staff reviewed ordinances from 20 neighboring and similarly sized communities to
determine how common it is to allow golf cart and ATV use. The review also identified
common restrictions used to address potential issues. The survey showed that nine (9)
communities do not allow golf cart or ATV use, nine (9) communities allow golf cart use
and seven (7) of those cities also allow ATVs. Two (2) communities allow ATVs but not
golf carts.
Page 57 of 101
Page 3 of 5
Council Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to prepare further information
and recommendations related to an ordinance amendment to allow golf cart use on
certain streets with conditions. (Mayor Rafferty and Council Member Cavegn were
opposed.)
Councilmember Lyden stated that he would like the city to review regulations related to
e-bikes as well.
6. Amendment to Endurance Fitness, Professional Management Services and Fitness
Center Agreement
The Public Services Director reported that the Professional Management Services and
Fitness Center Agreement between Endurance Fitness and the City of Lino Lakes was
prepared by ISG prior to the opening of The Rookery Activity Center in May, 2022. The
current contract ends December 31, 2026. Negotiations will begin after the first of the
year for a new contract.
The Public Services Director stated that all sections of the current agreement have
worked well for both entities with the exception of the revenue sharing formula. He
reviewed the requested amendments to the current contract.
Council Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Council to authorize staff to proceed with the
addendums to the Professional Management Services and Fitness Center Agreement for
the current contract with Endurance Fitness as outlined in the staff report.
7. Metropolitan Council 2050 System Statement
The Community Development Director stated that Minn. Stat. 473.145 requires the
Metropolitan Council (Met Council) to adopt a comprehensive development guide for
the metropolitan area. Minn. Stat. 473.175 requires the Met Council to review local
government comprehensive plans to determine compatibility with this regional
development guide. These plans are developed and updated every 10 years.
The Community Development Director reported that in early 2025, the Met Council
adopted Imagine 2050 as the comprehensive regional development guide. It establishes
the regional vision for the seven-county metropolitan area for the next 25 years. The
guide includes 5 policy plans:
1. 2050 Land Use Plan
2. 2050 Transportation Policy Plan
3. 2050 Water Resources Policy Plan
4. 2050 Regional Parks Policy Plan
5. 2050 Housing Plan
Page 58 of 101
Page 4 of 5
The Community Development Director reported that on September 25, 2025, the Met
Council issued the 2025 System Statement for Lino Lakes. The system statement
explains the implications of the policy plans for each individual community. Pursuant to
Minn. State 473.864, subd. 2, within three years after receiving a system statement Lino
Lakes is required to review its comprehensive plan to ensure continued conformity with
metropolitan system plans and amend if necessary.
The Community Development Director stated that the amendment/update of the city’s
2040 Comprehensive Plan is due by December 31, 2028.
The Community Development Director stated that a representative of the Met Council
has been invited to attend the December 1, 2025 Council Work Session.
8. 2026 Fee Schedule
The City Clerk provided additional information on filing fees as requested by the City
Council in review of the 2026 Fee Schedule.
Council Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Council to include a filing fee of $40 in the draft
ordinance amendment for formal action later this month.
The City Clerk stated that this item would be re-presented for first reading at the
November 10th meeting and second reading at the November 24th meeting.
9. Administration Update
The City Administrator reviewed the 2025 Strategic Plan and provided an overview of
the strategic planning sessions with staff and council members.
The City Administrator presented the eight core strategies that were identified to guide
the organization and community into the future. These strategies form the foundation
of our Strategic Plan. From those core strategies, the City Administrator shared several
short-term priorities that will be the focus in the coming year. Council and staff also
developed a mission statement that reflects the purpose and values behind the core
strategies. Quarterly progress reports to the City Council are planned. The first report
will be presented after the end of the 4th Quarter of 2025.
The City Administrator reported that the 2025 City Survey has gone out to households
and the results will be reviewed against the Strategic Plan. The results are anticipated to
be returned in December. Once results are available, staff will review alignment with
our strategies and goals and hold another strategic planning session to incorporate
feedback. The survey includes primarily standard questions as prepared by the survey
firm and a number of custom questions based on the strategic plan initiatives.

STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 5.A.
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Roberta Colotti, City Clerk
MEETING DATE November 10, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: First Reading Ordinance No. 19-25, Amending City Code Chapter 218,
Fee Schedule
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
The 2026 Fee Schedule is being presented for the review and approval of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The City Council provided first reading of Ordinance No. 19-25 at the October 27th meeting. At
that time, the City Council provided direction to review the fees further. Because the fees are
proposed to be changed from the time of the first reading, it is advised by the City Attorney
that the updated fee schedule be presented for another first reading. As a result, the first
reading is scheduled for November 10th and the second reading/adoption is scheduled for
November 24th.
Fees are consolidated into one schedule, which has been codified by ordinance, to be reviewed
and adopted on an annual basis to provide for an efficient and timely method of reviewing and
adjusting the various fees charged by the city. Staff has reviewed the fees in place to ensure
their ongoing equity and cost recovery ability.
The City Council conducted a public hearing on the utility rates on October 27th in accordance
with City Charter Section 11.06 Notice of Public Hearing. This hearing meets the intent of the
City Charter and no changes are proposed to the draft utility rates from those published in the
notice.
No changes to the liquor license fees are proposed and, as a result, notice has not been

Degradation fee
Degradation fee formula:
This formula covers degradation for the depreciation
caused by intrusion into the right-of-way and to the
overlays and seal-coats applied to the surface. The
formula includes life expectancy schedules for each
and has an estimated cost per square yard based on
the quality of the right-of-way surface required for
different levels of traffic. This formula creates a
degradation fee which is determined by the cost per
square yard per street, overlay, and seal-coat,
multiplied by the depreciation schedule, multiplied
by the area of the street patch.
(Cost per square yard for street
overlay and seal-coat x
depreciation schedule rates) x area of street patch = degradation fee

INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council approval of Right-of-Way plat No. 4 identifying parcels for the future

CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 9B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2025
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-158, Concurring with County State Aid
Highway Designation of Ash Street
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to concur with Ramsey County’s proposed
designation of Ash Street, from Centerville to Lake Drive, as a County State Aid Highway.
BACKGROUND
Ramsey County is currently reconstructing Ash Street and the I-35E Interchange, between
Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road. The City acted in January of 2025 to transfer jurisdiction
of the roadway to Ramsey County. Ramsey County is now proposing to convert the roadway
to a County State Aid Highway.
This will allow Ramsey County to use state aid proceeds for the existing interchange project.
The designation does not change the function of the road and/or have any impacts to the City.
Since the roadway is located within both Anoka and Ramsey County , Anoka County also must
designate the portion of roadway as a County State Aid Highway. To do so the City must concur
with this proposed designation.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 25-158.
