Ratification of Edward F. LaTuff as Chairman - Mr. Marier moved to ratify Mr. LaTuff. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ruestin eg $1.000 to Resolve Relief Association Issues - Mr. Schumacher explained that he had received a letter from the Fire Districts attorney concerning some problems with the relief PAGE 1 086 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 association that only affects the Centennial Fire Relief Assn. To solve these problems, new legislation will have to be drafted and then the representatives from Lino Lakes, Centerville and Circle Pines will be asked to carry this proposed legislation to the State Legislature for passage. Mr. Hawkins asked if each city was being asked to appropriate $1,000 for this issue. Mr. Schumacher said apparently this is what is being asked. Mr. Hawkins did not understand the large cost. He estimated that it should cost approximately $300.00. Mayor Benson noted that this legislation would only affect these three communities and is unusal and did not see that there would be any opposition. Mr. Schumacher said Mr. Benjamin could tell the Council why so much money is being requested. Planning Committee Appointment - Mayor Benson asked for nominations for this appointment. Mr. Bisel nominated Mr. Reinert. Mr. Reinert was told that this committee is responsible for planning buildings and facilites for the fire district. Currently they will consider what to do about the Centerville Fire Station. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Benjamin be prepared to answer such questions as; 1) What is the Lino Lakes station presently used for; 2) What is the future of the Lino Lakes station ?; 3) Why is $1,000 needed for the relief association? PARK BOARD REPORT Playground Equipment Quotations - Mr. Volk explained that he has received quotations for additional playground equipment at Lino Park. He showed the Council pictures of the equipment and told them that the Park Board has recommended accepting the low bid. Mr. Bisel asked if it was possible for a child to be injured on the cork screw equipment? Mr. Volk said it was possible, however he felt that the manufacturing company has spent a great deal of time and money to see that the design is as safe as it can be. He also noted that each piece of equipment is designed for certain age levels and this-piece is designed for children ages four through eight who usually are accompanied by a parent or supervisor. Mr. Bisel asked for Mr. Volk's personal opinion about the safety of the cork screw. Mr. Volk did not have a problem with it. After further discussion it was decided that there was an element of danger on all playground equipment. Mr. Reinert moved to accept the Park Board recommendation for the low bid from Earl F. Andersen & Assoc. of $2,693.00. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Bisel voting no. PAGE 2 067 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 IMr. Volk explained that the next piece of equipment is a backstop for Shenandoah Park. The area proposed for a ballfield has poor soils and will not support equipment that would be needed for construction or maintenance of a regulation ballfield. Therefore he is proposing that this be a neighborhood ballfield with a backstop only. There will be no outfield fencing. The Park Board is recommending that the Council accept the low bid for this downsized unorganized field. Mr. Bisel moved to accept the Century Fence Company bid of $1,437.00. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT - PETE KLUEGEL Ado t 1985 Uniform Buildin. and State Buildin• Code First Readin•. Ordinance No. 09 - 87 - Mr. Kluegel explained that he is requesting that the Council adopt this ordinance. He has requested that Mr. Hawkins review his request and Mr. Hawkins has responded with a letter and Mr. Kluegel read this letter to the Council. Currently this City uses the 1982 State Building Code. The major differences are the fee schedules, chapters regarding stairs, masonary regulations and fire safety. This proposed ordinance also adopts the optional chapters of the code which includes the electrical code and many other optional chapters. These chapters deal with life saving requirements for existing structures as well a new structures. Mr. Kluegel explained the differences in the fee schedules and told the Council that most cities are using the 1985 schedule. Mr. Marier moved to adopt the first reading of Ordinance No. 09 - 87 and dispense with the reading. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Passed this day of , 1987 by the Lino Lakes City Coun i.. 4111111101r, ..1 11 ir_ _ ,s enjamin . Anderson, Clerk - Treasurer enson, Mayor Discussion of Ado tin New Plumbin: and Heatin: Permit Fee Schedules - Resolution No. 21 - 87 - Mr.Kluegel explained that this City has not changed the fees charged for plumbing and heating permits since 1981. He has surveyed other cities in this area and fees charged in Lino Lakes are quite low in comparison. He is recommending that the Plumbing Permit fees be raised to a flat $5.00 per opening and the Heating Permit fees be $30.00 per home. This would mean that for a typical home the plumbing permit fee would go from approximately $32.50 per house to approximately $50.00 per house. The heating permit would go from $25.50 to $30.00. Mr. Kluegel also checked Septic System Permit fees and this City currently charges $25.00 which is in line with other communities. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City is not looking at making money, only covering the costs of inspection. Mr. Kluegel normally makes two inspections during the installation of a septic system. This would mean that the $25.00 permit would not cover his costs. Mr. Kluegel felt that since this PAGE 5 a9 090 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 fee is in line with other communities, he would not recommend raising it at this time. Mr. Reinert said this would be an increase in user fees rather than an increase in tax and moved to approve the Building Inspectors recommendations to increase the Plumbing Permit fee and the Heating Permit fee. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY OF LINO LAKES Resolution No. 21 - 87 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE REVISED PLUMBING PERMIT AND HEATING PERMITS FEE SCHEDULE WHEREAS, The City of Lino Lakes has not revised the fee schedule for Plumbing Permits and Heating Permits since 1981, and WHEREAS, It is the intent of the City to cover expenses of inspect- ions with the permit fee, and WHEREAS, It is intended to bring the Lino Lakes permit fee schedule in line with surrounding communities, NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LINO LAKES: 1. The Plumbing Permit Fee Schedule shall be $5.00 for each opening. 2. The Heating Permit Fee Schedule shall be $30.00 per individual unit. Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this 27th day of April, 1987. Marilyn G. Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer Benson, -Mayor Mr. Bisel asked if there were any other permit costs involved in the building of a new structure. Mr. Kluegel explained that an electrical permit would be required. PAGE 6 091 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 Ilosner- Goertz, 454 Lilac Street, Building Addition to Present Building- Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Goertz plans to make two additions to his building and then the entire building will be rented with an option to buy by Advance Printing. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval subject to the following conditions: 1) the driveway surface and parking areas follow the ordinance including a durable and dustless surface in the rear forty feet south of the building and terminating at the loading dock, 2) the remainder of the back yard be seeded for grass, 3) no exterior storage be allowed on site other than parking of business vehicles. The present use of the building is by the current owner who plans to relocate. Mayor Benson asked why Mr. Joyer of the P & Z Board voted against the motion. Mr. Kluegel explained he was concerned about the requirement for a blacktop area in the rear of the building. Mr. Goertz from the audience felt this requirement could hamper future expansion of the building. Presently the area is limerock. After further discussion, Mr. Marier moved to approve the application and the recommendations of the P & Z Board. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Site and Building Plan Review (New Building, 448 Lilac Street) - Mr. Goertz has requested a revision of the mini storage building on Lilac Street to house his construction company and for a warehouse area. He would be shutting off all of the large bay areas and bricking up the front. Mr. Bisel moved to approve application No. 87 - 08 per the P & Z Board's recommendations. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Conditional Use Permit Request for Exterior Storage - Set Publics Hearing for May 26, 1987, 7:30 P.M. - Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Goertz is requesting exterior storage at the above building and this requires a conditional use permit. Mr. Marier moved to set this public hearing. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Mr. Goertz asked why a hearing was required. Mr. Kluegel explained that it is a requirement of the city code. Mr. Goertz said he did not have to have a hearing when his current construction office was built. Mr. Kluegel said'that was a requirement then and he was sure a hearing was held. Mr. Goertz was concerned because this would mean a delay in his building plans and he has already spent three months trying to get this approved. Mayor Benson said that his application was dated March and this is only April so that it has not taken three months to go through the City requirements. He felt the City was as expedient as possible in this case. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. II PAGE 7 092 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 Minor subdivision, Glenn Rehbein - Mr. Kluegel explained that this is a request to divide a portion off of one lot and add it to another lot in Shenandoah II. The reason for the request is that a drainage swale exists on the lot to be divided. The swale would make this lot difficult to market but it could become the boundary between the two lots. Mr. Hawkins explained that because this is a platted area a portion of one lot cannot be divided off and combined with another lot without replatting the area. This would be very expensive. To avoid replatting, the owners are simply creating a third lot which is unbuildable because it would have no road frontage. Mr. Reinert was concerned that this could create a problem in the future. He asked if it were possible for someone to come to the Council in the future and ask for a building permit on this substandard lot. Mr. Hawkins said he did not see that this could happen because there was no road frontage. However, to insure that this could not happen he suggested that it be required that the deed to this lot contain the wording that it is unbuildable. Mr. Hawkins said another problem could be that the lot could go tax forfeit since it is of no real use to anyone. Mr. Marier moved to approve this request and include the stipulation that the deed be recorded with the stipulation on it that it is an unbuildable lot. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Custom Contracting Land Reclamation Conditional Use Permit - LaMotte Drive - Mr. Polski, an attorney representing Custom Homes, appeared before the Council to ask the Council to set a public hearing to reconsider the application for a Conditional Use Permit. It was his opinion that at the last public hearing the Council denied the request for the CUP based upon the objections of a couple of neighbors. He did not see any objective evidence by anyone except from the engineer which was favorable to Custom Homes. He asked that the Council give him an opportunity to present his case. Mayor Benson said he would be in favor of holding another public hearing if Custom Homes would haul out all the dirt that was originally hauled in illegally and replace the street that was damaged and then he would consider starting from square one. Mr. Polski explained that Custom Homes was not aware that a permit was required. Mayor Benson felt that was not very professional of the builder. He felt this was done with negligence and intent. Mr. Marier also objected to the comments made by Mr. Polski. He explained that the Council has asked that Custom Homes work this matter out with the neighbors. However no attempt was made. Mayor Benson said the Council would not listen to the same old material again and would not spend any more money on any PAGE 8 093 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 documentation. However if there is something new to add he would place the matter on a future agenda. Mr. Reinert asked what did he expect to accomplish by rehashing the matter again. Mr. Polski asked that the owners have an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Bisel said he would stand by his original motion and did not want to hear it again. He said he had not seen any evidence that anything had been done on the matter and moved to repeat his original motion which was to deny the CUP request and require that the owner submit a plan that will equalize the lots or move out the extra dirt and submit plans that conform to this motion by June 15, 1987. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Polski said he is trying to gain an opportunity to present reasons for not denying the permit because he felt the reasons stated in the original motion are not objective and have no basis. Mr. Reinert said that his comments were at odds with the City Attorney. Roland Ford Update - Mr. Kluegel read a letter written by John Stein of the DNR regarding the Ford cleanup litigation. Mr. Stein indicated that there is a deadline of May 2, 1987 for Mr. Ford to present a plan indicating how his property will conform to all federal, state, county and city codes and ordinances. Litigation by this City is proceeding and Mr. Kluegel has not had any response from the Fords regarding this matter. IMayor Benson noted that the area is getting worse and that Mr. Ford is still hauling into his property. Mr. Kluegel told the Council that he has word that Mr. Ford is using his property for a transfer station for solid waste and Anoka County is looking into this matter. Mr. Reinert asked what can be done to correct this situation. He noted that Mr. Ford has violated the codes, has been convicted several times and has even been sentenced to jail. Mr. Hawkins explained that he will probably be sentenced to longer periods in jail with each conviction. Mr. Hawkins also noted that injunctive relief can be sought and the PCA could be asked to investigate if the City feels Mr. Ford is violating pollution regulations especially when water quality could be affected. Mr. Schumacher asked why the County has not prosecuted Mr. Ford for his violations. Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Christianson of the County Health Department has tried several times but the complaint gets to the County Attorney's desk and then does not go anywhere from there. Mr. Reinert moved to have Mrs. Langfeld, County Commissioner, take administrative leadership along with Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Hawkins and have this in place by the next Council meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAGE 9 no COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 Mr. Bisel asked what Mr. Ford is doing differently today than he was twenty years ago. He was told that Mr. Ford has intensified and gave him the background on this matter. ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG Resolution No. 19 - 87, Accepting Seal Coat Bids - Mr. Stahlberg explained that bids had been received on Friday for seal coating and his recommendations were included in Resolution No. 19 -87. Mr. Marier moved to approve Resolution No. 19 - 87. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 19 - 87 RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID FOR 1987 SEAL COAT PROGRAM WHEREAS, pursuant to an advertisement for bids for the 1987 Seal Coat Program as outlined in Resolution No. 09 - 87, bids were received, opened and tabulated according to law, and the following bids were received complying with the advertise- ment: 1. Allied Blacktop, $67,331.70. 2. Buffalo Bituminous, $66,952.50. AND WHEREAS, it appears that Buffalo Bituminous with a bid of $66,952.50 is the lowest responsible bidder, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA: 1. The Mayor and Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to enter into a contract with Buffalo Bituminous in the name of the City of Lino Lakes for the 1987 Seal Coat Program accord- ing to the plans and specifications therefore approved by the City Council and on file in the office of the City Clerk. 2. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to return forthwith to all bidders the deposits made with their bids, except that the deposits of the successful bidder and the next lowest bidder shall be retained until a contract has been signed.

APRIL 27, 1987 095 5 Anderson, Clerk-Treasurer enj a enson, Mayor Resolution No. 20 - 87, Accepting Ash Street Sewer and Water Bids. Mr. Stahlberg explained that bids were received today for this project and he said that at this time it appears that Lessard -Nyren Utilities with a bid of $53,921 is low bidder. However, he asked for further time to study the bid. Mr. Bisel moved to table this resolution until the next council meeting. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Revised Addendum to Joint Powers Agreement, 80th Street - Mr. Stahlberg explained that most of the cost of this project will be covered by bridge bond funding. It has been agreed that Anoka County will do the engineering since this will become a county road when the project is completed. He noted the basic difference in this Addendum is that the cost of hay /straw bales has been shifted from participating to non - participating and sixty (60) hours of dragline work has been added to non - participating. Mr. Marier moved to approve the Revised Addendum to the Joint Powers Agreement, 80th Street. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS e•uest for Charitable Gamblin• License Rice Creek Trail Association - Mr. Hawkins explained that the City does not have any regulations regarding gambling as explained in the memorandum from the Clerk. Mayor Benson asked if Chief Campbell had a problem with this application since the gambling will be conducted at Frankies-on-the- Lake. Chief Campbell said he did not. Mr. Hawkins told the Council that if they were concerned about the number of requests for licenses the Council could narrow the requirements thereby controlling the number of licenses and the location. After further discussion it was decided that gambling operations only do well in clubs operated by the license holder and this fact may hold down the number of license requests. CONSIDERATION OF CHIEF CAMPBELL'S RECOMMENDATION FOR HIRING OF A NEW POLICE OFFICER Chief Campbell explained that he is recommending that former part time officer William Hammes be hired as a full time officer. He feels Mr. Hammes is an excellent candidate because of his qualifications, because he worked in the City for three and one half years and because PAGE 11 096 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 he gets along well with the other officers. There was discussion about the amount of training and numerous schools Mr. Hammes has attended. Mr. Marier moved to approve Chief Campbell's recommendation and hire William Hammes as a new police officer. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Benson told Chief Campbell that it has been brought to his attention that the appearance and manner in which the police officers are handling themselves is much, much better and he asked that Chief Campbell pass this comment on to his officers. CONSIDERATION OF RANDY SCHUMACHER'S RECOMMENDATION FOR HIRING OF CITY ACCOUNTING CLERK Mr. Schumacher explained he advertised this position in the Minneapolis and St. Paul papers as well as the local papers. He received over twenty responses and noted that all the applicants had limited work experience and no experience in municipal accounting. Most have just graduated from college or were out just a short time. He recommended that the Council hire Paula Romocky as outlined in his memorandum to the Council. Mr. Reinert asked why Mr. Schumacher was recommending Ms. Romocky when all candidates appeared to have the same qualifications. Mr. Schumacher explained she appeared to be a fast learner, had an excellent college degree, had taken more practical class work and based on her grade point average. Mr. Marier moved to accept Mr. Schumacher's recommendation and hire Paula Romocky. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Economic Development Committee - At the last Council meeting, Mr. Schumacher was asked to contact the previous members of this committee and determine why they were not interested in continuing on this Board. Mr. Schumacher did contact them and was told that basically they-did not have the time to devote to the Board and one member felt there was not sufficient support from the Council in combination with the time needed to give the Board his full support. Mr. Schumacher is still trying to contact the one applicant to the P & Z Board but has not been successful. To date there has been only one person, Gene Mobley who has indicated willingness to serve on this Board. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Schumacher to continue to follow up on this matter. Mr. Schumacher asked for further suggestions. Mr. Bisel suggested that this Board should get going and suggested that it start with the members recommended by Mr. Schumacher at the last Council PAGE 12 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1987 Imeeting. Mr. Reinert suggested that Mr. Schumacher personally address the Chamber and ask for volunteers. It was decided to make the Ecomonic Development Committee operational with the members recommended by Mr. Schumacher and add to the Committee as members become available. IAnoka County Veteran's Council Memorial Day Service Invitation - Mr. Bohjanen reminded the Council about this invitation. Arnold Kellings Correspondence - Mr. Kelling had written to Mayor Benson regarding the tax reform law. Mayor Benson had responded to Mr. Kelling saying he felt this was probably a personal matter but if he wanted the Council to pursue the matter they would do this. Lake Oneka - It was noted that this item appeared on the RCWD agenda again. Mr. Schumacher explained that the Lake Oneka group has hired an attorney and he is monitoring the situation to see where it goes from there. Centerville Drainage - Mr. Schumacher has talked to Mr. Cardinal, RCWD manager who said he talked to Mr. L'Allier, Centerville Mayor. Mayor L'Allier indicated he did not feel there was a problem. Mr. Schumacher then wrote a letter to Mayor L'Allier over a month ago and has not received an answer. Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Schumacher follow up or set up a meeting with Mayor L'Allier. NEW BUSINESS City Planner - Mr. Schumacher sent the Council a memorandum informing the Council that Mr. John Miller has agreed to assist the City until a new planner can be found. He explained that Mr. Miller had attended the meeting last week. Mr. Kluegel said he has been in contact with Mr. Miller and groundrules have been established. Mr. Schumacher noted that he is working on a proposal to share a planner with White Bear Township. He will keep the Council informed on the progress of this matter. Mr. Marier moved to adjourn at 9:01 P.M. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. These minutes were considered and approved at a regular council meeting on May 11 1987. RIIL G.
