AGENDA ITEM 1 E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Al Rolek, Director of Finance
MEETING DATE: June 23, 2008
TOPIC:
Consideration of not waiving monetary limits
on tort liability per MN Statute 466.04
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
Each year, the City has the option of waving its monetary limits on tort liability to
the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not to waive the
statutory limits has the following effects:
If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be
able to recover no more than $400,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort
limits apply. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,200,000.
These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city
purchases the optional excess liability coverage. (The limits went from
$300,000/$1,000,000 to $400,000/$1,200,000 effective 1/1/2008)
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability
coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $1,200,000 on a single
occurrence. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single
occurrence to which the statutory limits apply would also be limited to $1,200,000,
regardless of the number of claimants.
If the city does waive the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability
coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of
the coverage purchased. The total which all claimants would be able to recover
for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited
to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by
this decision.
The city carries $1,000
occurrence and annual
The City of Lino Lakes
,000 in excess liability coverage ($1,000,000 per
limit).
has never waived its' monetary limits on tort liability.
•
OPTIONS
1. The City of Lino Lakes does not choose to waive its' monetary limits on tort
liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04.
2. The City of Lino Lakes chooses to waive its' monetary limits on tort liability
to the extent of the limits of the excess liability coverage obtained from the
League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.

304.16 Revocation of Permits.
(1) Substantial Breach. The city reserves its right, as provided herein, to revoke
any right -of -way permit, without a fee refund, if there is a substantial breach of the terms
and conditions of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation, or any material condition of
the permit. A substantial breach by permittee shall include, but shall not be limited to,
the following:
(a) The violation of any material provision of the right -of -way permit;
(b) An evasion or attempt to evade any material provision of the right -of-
way permit, or the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any fraud or deceit upon the city

(2) Written Notice of Breach. If the city determines that the permittee has
committed a substantial breach of a term or condition of any statute, ordinance, rule,
regulation or any condition of the permit the city shall make a written demand upon the
permittee to remedy such violation. The demand shall state that continued violations
may be cause for revocation of the permit. A substantial breach, as stated above, will

•
•
(1) Information Required. Each permittee shall provide mapping information
required by the city in accordance with Minnesota Rules 7819.4000 and 7819.4100.
Within ninety (90) days following completion of any work pursuant to a permit, the
permittee shall provide the director accurate maps and drawings certifying the "as- built"
location of all equipment installed, owed, and maintained by the permittee. Such maps
and drawings shall include the horizontal and vertical location of all facilities and
equipment and shall be provided consistent with the city's electronic mapping system,
when practical or as a condition imposed by the director. Failure to provide maps and
drawings pursuant to this subsection shall be grounds for revoking the permit holder's
registration.
(2) Service Laterals. All permits issued for the installation or repair of service
laterals, other than minor repairs as defined in Minnesota Rules 7560.0150 subpart 2
shall require the permittee's use of appropriate means of establishing the horizontal
locations of installed service laterals, and the service lateral vertical locations in those
cases where the director reasonably requires it. Permittees or their subcontractors shall
submit to the director evidence satisfactory to the director of the installed service lateral
locations. Compliance with this subdivision 2 and with applicable Gopher State One
Call law and Minnesota Rules governing service laterals install after December 31,
2007, shall be a condition of any city approval necessary for: i) payments to contractors
working on a public improvement project including those under Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 429; and ii) city approval of performance under development agreements or
other subdivision or site plan approval under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462. The
director shall reasonably determine the appropriate method of providing such
information to the city. Failure to provide prompt and accurate information on the
service laterals installed may result in the revocation of the permit issued for the work or
for future permits to the offending permittee or its subcontractors.
304.18 Location and Relocation of Facilities.
(1) Placement, location, and relocation of facilities must comply with the act, with
other applicable law, and with Minnesota Rules 7819.3100, 7819.5000 and 7819.5100,
to the extent the rules do not limit authority otherwise available to cities.
(2) Corridors. The city may assign specific corridors within the right -of -way, or
any particular segment thereof as may be necessary for each type of facility that exists,
or, pursuant to current technology, that the city reasonably expects will someday be
located within the right -of -way. All excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by
the city involving the installation or replacement of facilities shall designate the proper
corridor for the facilities at issue.
(3) Limitation of Space. To protect health, safety, and welfare or when
necessary to protect the right -of -way and its current use, the city shall have the power to
prohibit or city shall strive, to the extent possible, to accommodate all existing and
Page 14of19
—44—
potential users of the right -of -way, but shall be guided primarily by considerations of the
public interest, the public's needs for the particular utility service, the condition of the
right -of -way, the time of year with respect to essential utilities, the protection of existing
facilities in the right -of -way, and future city plans for public improvements and
development projects which have been determined to be in the public interest.
304.19 Undergrounding.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote the health, safety and
general welfare of the public and is intended to foster (i) safe travel over the right -of-
way, (ii) non- travel related safety around homes and buildings where overhead feeds
are connected and (iii) orderly development in the City. Location and relocation,
installation and reinstallation of facilities in the right -of -way or in or on other public
ground must be made in accordance with this section and is intended to be enforced
consistently with state and federal law regulating right -of -way users, specifically
including but not limited to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 161.45, 237.162, 237.163,
301B.01, 222.37, 238.084 and 216B.36 and the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Title
47, U.S.G. section 253.
(2) Undergrounding of Facilities. Facilities newly installed, constructed or
otherwise placed in the public right -of -way or in other public property held in common
for public use must be located and maintained underground pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this section and in accordance with applicable construction standards,
subject to the exceptions below. Above - ground installation, construction, modification,
or replacement of meters, gauges, transformers, street lighting, pad mount switches,
capacitor banks, re- closers and service connection pedestals shall be allowed. These
requirements shall apply equally outside of the corporate limits of the city coincident
with city jurisdiction of platting, subdivision regulation or comprehensive planning as
may now or in the future be allowed by law.
(3) Undergrounding of Permanent Replacement, Relocated or Reconstructed
Facilities. If the City finds that one or more of the purposes set forth in this Section
304.19, subd. 1 would be promoted, the City may require a permanent replacement,
relocation or reconstruction of a facility to be located, and maintained underground, with
due regard for seasonal working conditions. For purposes of this subdivision,
reconstruction means any substantial repair of or any improvement to existing facilities.
Undergrounding may be required whether a replacement, relocation or reconstruction is
initiated by the right -of -way user owning or operating the facilities, or by the City in
connection with (i) the present or future use by the City or other local govemment unit of
the right -of -way or other public ground for a public project, (ii) the public health or safety,
or (iii) the safety and convenience of travel over the right -of -way. Subject to subdivision
4 below, all relocations from previously placed underground facilities shall be to another
underground location.
(4) Exceptions to Undergrounding. The following exceptions to the strict
application of this subdivision shall be allowed upon the conditions stated:
Page 15 of 19
—45—
•
•
•
•
•
(a) Technical /Economic Feasibility; Promotion of Policy. Above - ground
installation, construction, or placement of facilities shall be allowed in residential,
commercial and industrial areas where the council, following consideration and
recommendation by the planning commission, finds that:
1. Underground placement would place an undue financial burden
upon the landowner, ratepayers, or right -of -way user or would deprive the landowner of
the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights; or,
2. Underground placement is impractical or not technically feasible
due to topographical, subsoil or other existing conditions which adversely affect
underground Facilities placement; or,
3. Failure to promote the purposes of undergrounding. The right -of-
way user clearly and convincingly demonstrates that none of the purposes under
Section 304.19, subd. 1 would be advanced by underground placement of facilities on
the project in question.
(b) Temporary Service. Above- ground installation, construction, or
placement of temporary service lines shall only be allowed:
1. During new construction of any project for a period not to exceed
three (3) months;
2. During an emergency in order to safeguard lives or property within
the city;
3. For a period of not more than seven (7) months when soil
conditions make excavation impractical.
(5) Developer Responsibility. All owners, platters, or developers are responsible
for complying with the requirements of this subdivision, and prior to final approval of any
plat or development plan, shall submit to the director written instruments from the
appropriate right -of -way users showing that all necessary arrangements with said users
for installation of such facilities have been made.
304.20 Damage to Other Facilities.
When the city does work in the right -of -way and finds it necessary to maintain,
support, or move facilities to protect it, the city shall notify the local representative as
early as is reasonably possible and direct placement of facilities. The costs associated
therewith will be billed to that facility owner and must be paid within thirty (30) days from
the date of billing. Each facility owner shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any
facilities in the right -of -way, which it or its facilities damage. Each facility owner shall be
responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the facilities of another caused
during the city's response to an emergency occasioned by that owner's facilities.
Page 16 of 19
—46—
304.21 Right -of -Way Vacation.
•
Reservation of Right. If the city vacates a right -of -way which contains facilities,
the facility owner's rights in the vacated right -of -way are governed by Minnesota Rules
7819.3100 subd. 2 and 7819.3200.
340.22 Indemnification and Liability.
By applying for and accepting a permit under this chapter, a permittee agrees to
defend and indemnify the city in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Rule
7819.1250.
304.23 Abandoned Facilities.
Removal of Abandoned Facilities. Any person who has abandoned facilities in
any right -of -way shall remove them from that right -of -way if required in conjunction with
other right -of -way repair, excavation, or construction, unless this requirement is waived
by the city.
304.24 Appeal.
A right -of -way user that: (i) has been denied a permit; (ii) has had permit
revoked; or (iii) believes that the fees imposed are invalid, may have the denial,
revocation, or fee imposition reviewed, upon written request, by the city council. The
city council shall act on a timely written request at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
A decision by the city council affirming the denial, revocation, or fee imposition will be in
writing and supported by written findings establishing the reasonableness of the
decision.
30425 Reservation of Regulatory and Police Powers.
A permittee's rights are subject to the regulatory and police powers of the city to
adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety, and
welfare of the public.
304.26 Right -of -Way Fees And Charges.
The fees and charges associated with this chapter shall be as established in the

1. 2007 Audit Presentation — Finance Director Rolek introduced Brock Geyen of Larson,
Allen, Weishair & Company, the city's auditor, to review the 2007 Audit Report.
Mr. Geyen explained the audit process that includes a review of the city's financial transactions
and reports for presentation and disclosure and a report on the city's legal compliance in
financial areas. He reported that Lino Lakes finance staff has been very responsive and easy to
work with during the audit process. It is the goal of the city to continue to receive the Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting and the auditor feels that this year's report
will meet that standard.
A council member requested that the report be distributed with more front -end review time next
year.
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) was reviewed. The only independent
information provided by the auditor is the report beginning on page 9 that identifies their
independent role. The Management's Discussion and Analysis is a useful summary of the data
included in the document. Specifically, the General Fund balance is noted at $5,000,000 +,
representing 62% of expenditures for the year (reserve), considered to be a healthy level.
Finance Director Rolek noted that fund balance is an important component in handling
fluctuating revenue that can occur throughout the year. He pointed out the section of the
document dealing with notes to the financial statements is a good review area that includes good
background and history. He added that the city did end the year with a surplus over $40,000,
even during a slow growth year.
Mr. Geyen continued his review of other funds, totaling $3,000,000+, much of that being bond
revenue from the Legacy at Woods Edge debt. The Water and Sewer Fund were also reviewed.
Overall, Mr. Geyen, suggested that the auditors feel management is doing a good job in
managing the finances of the city and the fund situation shows that.

48 Mr. Geyen then reviewed the Other Auditor Reports. Most of the comments are reoccurring;
49 noted were funds with a deficit (improvement shown in bringing some down), area and unit
50 charge fund reminder not to overextend, debt service review, and development escrow
51 accounting that have deficit balances (improvement shown by staff bringing accounts up to date).
52 The report also includes a clean legal compliance finding, other required auditor communications
53 and a report of new auditing standards.
54
55 A council member noted that this seems like one of the best audit reports that the city's received
56 and congratulations are due to Finance Director Rolek including his effort to bring forward the
57 issues of past audits and get the council to deal with it.
58
59 Mr. Geyen will be presenting the report at the upcoming city council meeting; the council
60 recommended that he present the information in the best form for citizen review and
61 comprehension.
62 2. Comprehensive Plan Update — Community Development Director Grochala explained
63 the history of the current comprehensive plan update process that has been underway for nearly
64 two years. (Also present was Ciara Schlichting of Bonestroo, consultant to the comprehensive
65 plan update project.) Basically, the process began with the 2006 community survey, that was
66 followed by a community visioning process that identified priority areas, and is currently
67 involving the comp plan advisory panel in establishing forecasts and drafting a staging and land
68 use plan. In reviewing the proposed forecasts relative to projected households and employment,
69 Mr. Grochala noted that they are just estimates but they are reviewed by the Metropolitan
70 Council for their infrastructure investment planning. The forecasts do reflect a change with the
71 removal of the growth management policy that limited new development to a certain number (the
72 advisory panel is not proposing a city imposed cap). The 2030 Staging Plan that represents the
73 location and timing of sewered development was reviewed; the plan is based on the city's
74 sanitary sewer districts and infrastructure to insure future efficiency in growth and the plan has
75 been approved by the advisory panel. The land use plan, as presented, is based on the forecasts
76 and staging plans; it identifies that all property guided for development through 2030 will
77 develop but that is unlikely. Regarding the issue of growth manage, again the panel is not
78 choosing to pursue the 147 unit growth limit but as an alternative proposes to develop and
79 strengthen an overriding framework for growth management focused more on design and quality
80 rather than quantity. The comprehensive plan will represent the city's recommendations for the
81 future development of the community. The Lino Lakes plan will be unique in its inclusion of a
82 Resource Management Plan (RMP) in collaboration with the Rice Creek Watershed District.
83 The RMP will be an important element in the overall plan to deal with the elements of natural
84 resources and conservation design. The Plan will also guide changes to the city's official controls
85 (zoning, building etc. regulations) as well as engineering design standards. Consideration will be
86 given also to the City's Five Year Financial and Capital Improvement Plan as it relates to future
87 investment by the city. Mr. Grochala reviewed the future schedule for the process including
88 additional staff work followed by panel review and additional community input before the final
89 council consideration proposed for October.
90 The council requested that the plans reviewed this evening be provided to them in electronic
91 form. Also, any major changes, as staff reports back on these plans, should be clearly

92 communicated to the council and public along with the reasoning. Residents that are impacted
93 by changes in planning should be kept informed (staff noted that their goal is to get the map into
94 every home in the city).
95 Three advisory panel members were present (Harvey Karth, Perry Laden, and Pat Huelman) and
96 expressed their confidence in the information being presented. They reported to the council that
97 it's been a good and thorough process.
98 3. Community Information Sign - Lions Club Donation - Public Service Director
99 DeGardner explained that the Lino Lakes Lions Club has offered to assist in funding a
100 community message board. Staff has evaluated seven possible locations as presented in his staff
101 report. The most significant obstacle is the city's regulations regarding signs that prohibit
102 placement of illuminated signs adjacent to residential property; a text amendment would
103 probably be required to allow a community sign but such an amendment could have other
104 repercussions. He has concerns about a placement of an electronic sign on any road with a 50
105 mph speed limit.
106 Lino Lion Richard Schumacher noted that the Lions have also identified the intersection of Lake
107 Drive and Town Center Drive (Option 3 in the report). Mr. DeGardner explained that there are
108 obstacles involved in that site also, possibly including the adjacent neighbor and a change in use
109 of the land.
no The council suggested that a text amendment that excludes commercial signs is a possibility.
111 There was discussion about the future of the Town Center district and the appropriateness of
112 having the sign near city hall once development is underway.
113 The mayor disclosed that he is a member of the Lino Lake Lions Club.
114 The council directed staff to continue to work with the Lions on the matter of placement of a
115 sign. Mr. Schumacher concurred that the Lions first choice would be Town Center Parkway and
116 Lake Drive and they are committed to speaking with the adjacent property owner(s) about the
117 idea.
118 Mr. Schumacher mentioned that at noon on June 14 (Flag Day), the Lions will be sponsoring a
119 special event with free food at the American Legion.
120 4. Preliminary Budget Guidance — Finance Director Rolek reported on plans for the
121 coming budget cycle. He noted the approval of levy limits by the state and that the city's budget
122 will have to be prepared within that new limitation. He is interested in council priorities, and
123 parameters. Of course, one guideline will be the city's five -year plan but there are limitations
124 arising.
125 The mayor recalled that it's been a goal in past years to keep the tax rate flat and still provide the
126 same level of service. There has always been, in the past, increasing valuation and new growth.
127 What is the implication of that premise in the coming year's budget?

128 Finance Director Rolek replied that in consideration of property values increasing by 3.9 percent
129 (information from county assessor) and the 3.7 levy limit, it would fall somewhat close to the
130 same tax rate. Aside from that is what the city wants to accomplish in the way of goals and also
131 what other responsibilities will arise.
132 A council member recalled that the matter of in -house vs. contracted engineering services is a
133 question that remains from last year. The mayor recalled that the council concensus seemed to
134 be to look at it again in the future. Staff should come back sooner rather than later with analysis
135 on that. Another council member pointed out that growth is slow and that should impact the
136 five -year plan, employee growth as well as revenue estimates; a conservative approach is
137 warranted.
138 The fire district expense to the city is an area that should be reviewed regularly. Administrator
139 Heitke suggested that the council could review that group's funding formula at the next work
140 session.
141 Also a special budget work session is planned for August 18 if that works for the council.
142 5. Town Center Update Finance Director Rolek updated the council (verbal only). He
143 recalled that the council had recently received an update on the tax increment situation for Town
144 Center from Paul Steinman. Since that time, the taxes and specials were not paid by the bank
145 that foreclosed on the mortgage. Staff expects to meet with the owner to find out what the plans
146 are since it was understood that they would be paying the taxes. The outstanding assessment is
147 about $1,060,000 (representing one and a half years); altogether the amount due is in the area of
148 $1,500,000. There is an interest payment due on the public improvement special assessment and
149 the fund earmarked for that revenue is about $28,000 short.
150 When asked by the council about a worst case scenario, Finance Director Rolek suggested that if
151 the property were to go tax forfeit, the taxes as well as assessment could be lost. The city is
152 legally obligated to pay the debt service of $534,000 annually for the next thirteen years.
153 Contingency planning is appropriate and important at some point. There will be considerations
154 during the upcoming budget process.
155 A council member suggested that if the city needs to be proactive in this situation rather than
156 defensive, that shouldn't be ignored. It shouldn't come to the point of the city getting pushed to
157 do things with the property that are not appropriate and were never planned.
158 Finance Director Rolek reiterated that information gathering is a key element at this point. He
159 will be setting up a meeting (with Attorney Steve Bubul as city's counsel) as soon as possible.
160 The mayor suggested that the council receive updated information as soon as it's available.
161 6. R.O.W Management Ordinance - Public Services Director DeGardner noted that the
162 council discussed the possibility of a city right -of -way ordinance at the last work session. Based
163 on that discussion, he is presenting a proposed ordinance, drafted by Kennedy & Graven, for
164 consideration. It includes a permit identification and requirement process, permit fees and
165 restoration issues. It requires mapping data and as-built drawing upon completion of the work

166 for city records. The fees, including degradation fees for road surface removal, are a revenue
167 source for the city's costs. This would bring all the utilities into a unified process, streamline the
168 process and establish the city's authority. It's really a standard in place already for most cities,
169 including recently by Circle Pines. This is a cost of doing business for the utilities that would be
170 passed along to their customers but not as a direct charge on bills.
171 The council concurred that the ordinance will be considered for first reading at the council
172 meeting on June 9.
173 7. Xcel Electricity, Gas Franchise Agreement — Administrator Heitke recalled that the
174 council was advised at the last work session that the city's franchise agreement with Xcel Energy
175 is expiring in June. The council gave a direction that when new franchise agreements are drafted
176 they should include the ability to establish franchise fees. Administrator Heitke is providing
177 draft gas and electric franchise ordinances as prepared by Attorney James Strommen of Kennedy
178 and Graven. The attachment to the report is a marked up copy of a proposed new Xcel
179 agreement; the changes provide more clarity, especially in the rights of the city. The franchise
180 fee language is included on Page 7, with three different methodologies presented to preserve
181 maximum flexibility for the city. It does provide the possibility of engaging fees on all utility
182 providers.
183 When discussing the specifics of the current arrangement with Centennial Utilities, the council
184 decided to ask the city's representative to that group, Vernon Reinert, to attend the next work
185 session so as to participate in this discussion and provide background information. The council
186 is very interested in the impact on that particular utility that already has a fee in place. It may
187 make sense to not have a specific fee set forth to leave it open for the different utility situations,
188 or not make it an across the board amount.
189 The council directed staff to get an attorney review of their questions and report back at the next
190 regular work session. Administrator Heitke noted that the attorney has advised that there is time
191 to work on the matter and the renewal of the outstanding Xcel agreement can be delayed
192 somewhat.
193 8. Amendment to Liquor Ordinance - Administrator Heitke recalled that the council
194 expressed a desire to review the current liquor ordinance
195 The council discuss the possibility of developing regulations that doesn't have things
196 congregating in a two block radius. More review is required and a moratorium on licenses
197 would allow that.
198 The council directed staff to prepare a moratorium ordinance restricting issuance of off -sale for
199 six months.
200 Legal basis for a moratorium is that you're redoing your ordinance.
201 9. Review of Regular Meeting Agenda
202 There were no changes to the regular council agenda.
