OPEN MIKE Gary Dahl, 216 Ulmer Drive -- Mr. Dahl addressed the Council regarding a proposed outdoor music amphitheater scheduled for construction in the City of Blaine very near the Lino Lakes western boundary with Blaine. Mr. Dahl urged this City Council to take a good look at this proposal with the idea of trying to stop the construction or at the very least establishing controls. He explained that this facility is proposed to seat about 20,000 people with parking for about 7,200 cars. Concerts will be presented from mid-May through mid-Septemberil PAGE 1 1 1 1 COU C I 1 MEETING AUGUST Mr. Dahl felt that a t" "i ,in i tv of life in 1i?.,; area. o9 Mr. Schumacher explained he h:.d lust ece i ve'd an Environmental Assessment Worksheet, JAW) f um Blaine . ;t _ un Friday. is of vet has not had a chance to review the document and the Council h s nei yet received a copy. 1F. Reinert said he had recently read r,e_wp;ipe'r articles about this facility and it seemed to him that something is already put in place behind the scenes and has only recently surfaced. He suggested t.h.:it the residents contact County Commissioner, Margaret Langfeld to determine what her position is on the matter since this will require some County expenditures. Mr. Dahl explained that this facility will greatly affect Lino Lake: and he felt this City should have some input especially to the Metropolitan Council since they must review the proposal. Mr. Schumacher explained that the EAW will he given to the City Planner and he will review it and make recommendations for this Council to follow. He felt it would not be appropriate for the Council to comment until it is determined what affect the f:tcil will have on Lino Lakes. Mr. Dahl explained that the Lino Lakes citizens he has contacted fe =1 t that they have little impact on matters such as this, however this Council could have a greater impact especially with Met Council. He asked the Council to express their opposition. Mr. Reinert asked Mir. Hawkins if there were any laws that would require another city to notify an adjoining city when a facility such as this is proposed. yr. Hawkins said no, notification must he made when environmental laws are concerned. Mr. Reinert noted that when Blaine was working to attract :the race track, Blaine officials were before this Council requesting support, why didn't they do the sane for this facility? Mr. Bise_i asked who is supporting this facility. Mr. Dahl explained that it is supported by 10.5 million dollars of private money and about. 3.5 million dollars of tax increment financing by Blaine. Mary Schmuland, 212 Ulmer Drive - Mrs. Schmuland expressed concern that Blaine was establishing this facility without even consulting Lino Lakes and addressing the concerns of the neighboring c.i t izens. The citizens are overwhelmingly opposed to this facility. Petitions are now being circulated and she said the citizens want to know what this Council will do to protect Lino Lakes citizens. PAGE 2 192 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10,. 1987 Mr. Bohjanen asked if financing, policing and scree_ ts have been addressed. Mr. Schumacher explained that_ he has not_ had a chance 1 review the proposal. Don Baclter, 11251 National Street, explained That illaine is trying lo avoid making the environmental study by proposing two sites breaking up the proposal into ;item so that a study would not be required. Blaine is sayin . that the second site is only an extension of Lochness Park when in fact it will be used for additional parking. Pam Maas, 10211 National Street, noted that this facility was proposed for Savage and was not approved for that location. The area citizens are now being notified by means of a flyer in their mailboxes. Mayor Benson asked the citizens to contact Mrs. Langfeld and the City will do the same. This proposal is being forwarded to the City Planner and then will be brought to the Planning and Zoning Board. CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW OF THE 1986 AUDIT - ROB TAUTGES Mr. Tautges presented the 1986 audit to the Council and reviewed the management letter noting areas of concern and areas of improvement. He noted that 720 of the City's receipts come from either state or federal sources. He suggested that the City closely monitor all legislation that would affect these funding sources to see that the are protected. Mr. Tautges suggested that the City establish an investment policy. This policy would address investing parameters in relation to security, liquidity, yield and risk. Mr. Reinert asked that Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Tautges put together a presentation for the Council. Mr. Schumacher said he felt this was not high priority since there is not much to invest. Mr. Reinert said this City should make all investments count and a policy would give firm direction on the matter. Other matters addressed by Mr. Tautges were accounting for assessments to provide assurance that all assessments are properly placed on the tax rolls and received in a timely manner, monitoring property tax collection and possibly increasing the maintenance allotment from the MSA funds. He said the City is moving in a positive manner regarding the General Fund in that the fund balance continues to grow each year and grew significantly this past year. Mr. Reinert noted that there were a number of summary items addressed in the management report and suggested that the Council hold a special meeting to address these items. Mr. Schumacher said that the staff has already started to -implement some of the suggestions but a special PAGE 3 1 1 1 1 193 COUNCIL MEETING bG{ ;T t0, 1987 meeting could be set to consider the summary iten)s. ti1r.

Mr. Tautges said the overall picture regarding the General Fund was 100% improved over four years ago ard recommended that the Council continue building the reserve balance in this fund. He noted that the City is in a ve1'y sound position but noted that with a funding partner such as the State of Minnesota, the City should remain cautious since the State can change its rules anytime. He further suggested that the City let the legislature know its funding needs. Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Taugt es for coming this evening. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 17 -- 87, CONCERNING BUILDING STANDARDS IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS The Council at the July 27th meeting instructed that the proposed pole barn ordinance be amended by Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Miller the City Planner. Mr. Miller has prepared a list of eight changes and in his memorandum to the Council dated July 31, 1987 explained what these changes will accomplish. Mr. Schumacher did outline these changes for the Council. ,Mr. Kluegel said he would not have a problem with t1.'; changes. Mr. Bisel noted that this proposal would allow existing pole structures to be increased by 50% and the Council could require certain enhancements to be made at the time it is enlarged. He also asked if this ordinance will improve the type of construction in Lino Lakes and how will this improve the business climate? Mr. Schumacher said this probably will not be known for four or five years. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 17 - 87 and dispense with the reading. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

DISCUSSION OF SPEED ZONING ALL CITY STREETS - DON VOLK Mr. Volk updated the Council on the matter of his request to MnDOT for a speed study on all Lino Lakes streets. MnDOt has received the request and has followed up with a letter dated June 11, 1987 with information for the Council to consider. Mr. Volk asked the Council if it is their intention to have all City streets posted with speed zones. His letter to the Council indicates that the costs will be considerable. Mr. Stahlberg introduced Mr. Ralph Clare to the Council and noted that he is the person most famliar with streets and street funding. Mayor Benson asked Mr,. Clare what other cities do about posting speed zones. Mr. Clare said normally they do not post speed limits on urban streets. Mr. Volk noted that presently all county and state streets are posted. The main concern now is the streets that are city streets and serve as PAGE 8 73 COUNC T L MEETING AUGUST 1 0 , 1987 • collector streets or arterial streets such as 4th Avenue, Holly Drip and Fine Street. Mr. Volk recommended that speed studies Le conduct on these streets and then post them accordingly. All other streets would :fall into the urban classifications and the speed limit would automatically be 30 mph. Mayor Benson asked if the costs of speed signs could be billed to the contractor of a new subdivision. Mr. Volk said this is now the procedure, however he is concerned about collector streets and asked for a policy on these already established streets. Mr. Volk also explained that the Police Department would like to see these streets posted so that drivers will know the speed limits and there will not be such a problem when tickets for speeding are issued. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Volk what he wanted in the way of direction on this matter. Mr. Volk said he agreed with the MnDOT letter and recommended that the Council adopt a policy for streets that fit the state guidelines for 55 mphs. Mr. Bisel moved to authorize a speed study on rural, arterial and collector streets in Lino Lakes. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. FIRST READING, ORDINANCE NO. 18 -- 87, AMENDING TREE DISEASES Mr. Volk _introduced this Ordinance and noted that the Council had received a copy that highlighted the proposed changes. He noted that there is no longer state funding for removal of diseased trees and property owners will now have to bear the costs of removing disease trees. Mr. Reinert moved to adopt the first reading of Ordinance No. 18 — 87 and dispense with the reading. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Mr. Bisel was concerned about the fine imposed for transporting diseased trees. Mr. Hawkins explained that the local forester will have to make judgement calls regarding fines. If the violation is flagrant, the fine should be imposed. Also only a portion of the fine can be imposed. Mr. Volk noted that usually the violator is a tree hauling business, not a local resident. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.

The Council may designate a person or persons who shall inspect all premises and places within the City as often as practical or necessary to determine whether any condition described in 902.01 exists thereon. He /she shall investigate all reported incidents of infestation by Oak wilt fungus or Dutch elm fungus or Elm bark beetles. The person or persons so designated by the Council may eater upon private premises at any reasonable time for the purpose of carrying out the duties assigned to him /her under this chapter. That person or persons shall, upon finding conditions indicating Oak wilt or Dutch elm infestation, take such steps 1 for diagnosis as IlEay be appropriate including analysis by a qualified laboratory of twig samples from actively wilting branches. Whenever possible, diagnosis shall be based upon accepted field symptoms. 902.04. Interference Prohibited. it is uni awful for any person to prevent, delay or interfere with the City Forester or his /her agents while they are engaged in the performance of duties imposed by this ordinance. 902.05 Procedure for Abatement and Removal. Whenever it is found with reasonable certainty that the infestation exist, he /she shall proceed as follows: if he /she finds that the danger of infestation of other oak or elm trees is not imminent, he /she shall notify the owner of the property on which the nuisance is found by certified snail addressed to the said owner at his /her last known address that the nuisance must be abated within a time specified in the notice, but in no eient later than April 15th of the following yeiir. He /she shall immediately report said action to the Council and after the expiration of the time limited by the notice, he /she may proceed to abate the nuisance as herein provided. The cost of such abatement shall be assessed against the owner of the property involved, or against the property itself. PAGE 10 200 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10, 1 3h7 All oak trees within the City diagnosed as having Oak Wilt shu be isolated from neighboring healthy trees of the same- species by chemical or mechanical disruption of common root grafts, to prevent the root graft transmission of the Oak Wilt fungus. To control the overland spread of Oak Wilt, the pruning of oaks shall be avoided during the most susceptible months of May and June. If wounding is unavoidable during this period, as in the aftermath of a storm or when the tree interferes with utility lines, an asphalt based tree wound dressing shall be applied immediately. Trees of the Red Oak Group diagnosed as having Oak Wilt may be girdled as soon as they are detected in order to speed drying and reduce spore production. Girdling shall be done only in areas her a weakened tree will not constitute a hazard to life and /or property should it fall. Trees included in this group are commonly known as Red Oak, Pin Oak, Scarlet Oak, and Black Oak. To prevent Oak Wilt fungus spore production and control overland spread of this disease, any diseased material of the Red Oak group desired for use as fuel wood or to be salvaged for other purposes, must be debarked or else completely covered by heavy plastic (4mil or greater) until July lst. Any branch or other material of the Red Oak group not to be salvaged, shall be disposed of by burning, chipping, or removal to authorized dump site. The City Forester shall advise accordingly. Stumps of trees of the Red Oak group removed due to Oak Wilt, shall be completely covered, removed, or debarked to the gound -line to eliminate all possibilities of spore formation and overland disease spread. Trees of the White Oak group (ie. White Oak, Bur Oak) diagnosed as having Oak Wilt should be isolated by root graft disruption, as previously stated. Diseased material originating from such trees will not support spore formation and salvaged material therefore will not require special treatment to control overland disease spread. Standing trees of this group showing symptoms of minor Oak Wilt infection may have such infection successfully removed by selective pruning. The City Forester will advise accordingly. 902.06 Transporting Elm and Oak Wood Prohibited. It is unlawful for any person to transport within the City any hark- -bearing elm or oak wood without having obtained a permit from the City Forester. The City Forester shall grant such permits only when the purposes of this ordinance will he served thereof. PAGE 11 1 1 COLT CT1, MEE('1.... .

Passed by the Council of the City of Lino Lakes this_LQ_day of --August—, 1987' Anderson,' C1 e.rk- Treasurer :enson, Mayor DISCUSSION OF THE LINO LAKES COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS /METRO COUNCIL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Mr. Schumacher told the Council that staff met with Met Council representatives on July 23rd and presented Lino Lake's arguments and reasons for the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendments. On July 30th staff again met with Met Council and they gave their arguments and reasons for their requirements. He gave the Council minutes of this meeting. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the major area of discussion is where Lino Lakes is proposing one acre subdivisions. Another area of disagreement is the southeast corner of Lino Lakes where two and one half acre subdivisions are proposed. Met Council is not supportive of these two area of the Comp Plan Amendments and are holding to four housing units per forty acres. Met Council has suggested that Lino Lakes designate the proposed one acre subdivision area as urban service district. This would mean that some area already designated as urban service district would have to be traded for this area. Mr. Schumacher told the Council this issue received a great deal of attention at this meeting. He also met with Mary Hauser and the Met Council Planner after the regular meeting and further discussed this issue. Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the proposed Comp Plan Amendments can be left as they are currently drafted. The ramification would be that Met Council would not approve FHA financing on any new construction. PACE 12 au 2 COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10, 1Y? Mayor Benson noted that the Task Force worked a long time on the proposed amendments and felt that. the City should continue with the proposed Comp Flan until something dramatic happens. Mr. Stahlberg used the overhead projector and pointed out the area designated as one acre lots. He noted that it contained about 170 acres. He indicated areas that could be traded if the Council wished to designate this area as part of the urban sewer district. In the future if the City finds that the area that was traded is needed for development, the City can then go back to Met Council and point out a need for enlarging the sewer area designation for Lino Lakes or ask for that area to be returned. Mayor Benson expressed concern about getting the sewer to that area if it were to be designated urban sewer. Mr. Stahlberg said the area would be set aside now and when it looks feasible, then extend the sewer. After further discussion, Mr. Bisel moved to give Mr. Schumacher - authorization to trade the area pointed out by Mr. Stahlberg in the urban service district for the area designated by Mr. Stahlberg as one acre subdivision as suggested by Met Council. The southeast corner of Lino Lakes designated as two and one half acre subdivision would remain in the Comp Plan even though FHA financing may not be available to the potential home builder. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Joyer from the audience asked for clarification of the area. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lindquist from the audience congratulated the Council for their decision. He noted he owned land in the southeast corner of Lino Lakes and was looking at subdividing. 1 CONSIDERATION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT COOPERS AND LYBRAND'S' STRATEGIC PLANNING PROPOSAL Mr. Schumacher explained that the Economic Development Committee has met several times and feel that to do their job properly they need a strategic plan for economic development. The committee has accepted proposals from several companies and recommends that the Council accept the Coopers and Lybrand proposal. Mr. Bisel said this proposal would give the Council a chance to be pro- active instead of re- active. Mayor Benson said he felt the Council should support the Economic Development Committee in their efforts. Mr. Reinert.notecl that several years ago the Council commissioned a market analysis study for Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher said this will be incorporated into the Coopers and Lybrand proposal. Mr. Bisel proved to approve the recommendation of the Economic Development Committee and use Coopers and Lybrand to help assist the PAGE 13 1 1 203 COUNCIL.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM CIRCLE PINES- -LEXINGTON LIONS CLUB FOR BEER PERMIT FOR SANDBUR DAYS Mrs. Anderson explained that the permit request is for two days at Sunrise Park. Mr. Volk said that next year he would like the Park Board to review this request. He indicated that the proceeds from this event funds many improvements in Circle Pines. He would like the Park Board to require that some improvements be made at Sunrise in exchange for use of the park. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the request for a beer permit.

Benson, Mayor Resolution No. 35 -- 87, 1988 MSA Roads -- Mr. Schumacher- explained that since the West Central Trunk Sewer and Water District improvement is proposing that utilities be extended down 2nd Avenue, it is suggested that 2nd Avenue be completed to Elm Street as a state road.
