its current project and there will be openings for new

as in 1987. He explained this should establish some
continuity.
Fiscal Agent - Mr. Schumacher explained that Springsted,
Inc. has been the fiscal agent for Lino Lakes for a long
time. There has been no problem with this firm. The City
has also used Miller and Schroeder Financial, Inc. in the
past on certain projects. Another firm._recently
established, New Public Corp. has asked to be considered in
addition to Springsted, Inc. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Hawkins
what advantage does the City gain by appointing a firm when
the Council can use any firm they choose. Mr. Hawkins
explained this gives the City Administrator authority to use
the appointee without having to come back to the Council for
approval.
Mr. Schumacher said he has not researched New Public Corp.,
however Mr. Hawkins is a member of the firm and he also
knows several other members. There was discussion regarding
comparing the two firms in the area of rates and services
provided.
Mr. Reinert moved to table action on appointing the fiscal

Schumacher research and prepare a recommendation based on
his study. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.

and he continues to see good things happening. He moved to
continue with Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates
and continue the same contract as in 1987 with Ron Stahlberg
as Lino Lakes representative. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stahlberg said he
has not heard of any proposed changes and nothing has been
proposed in the area of rate increases.

Pines, Press Publication (Quad Press) and the Anoka County
Union & Shopper. Mr. Bisel moved to table this item until
the next Council meeting and asked for additional
information on circulation and the interest in promoting
Lino Lakes by each paper. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reinert was concerned that
the appointee be better informed about Lino Lakes and the
events in this City. Mr. Bisel felt if the paper was

next packets and notify the representatives of each paper
that this will be on the next agenda.

CITY OF LINO LAKES.__
RESOLUTION NO. 01 - 88
RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION AND AREA CHARGE FUND
FOR THE CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
WHEREAS, the City has established various area and connec-
tion charges related to sewer and water availabil-
ity, and
WHEREAS, the revenues collected from such connection and
area charges are integral to funding specified
debt service which financed the available sewer
and water facilities, including trunk facilities,
and
WHEREAS, certain revenues collected from such connection
and area charges may be available for further
water
and sewer improvements, including major repairs
and the extension of services.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA:
The City hereby establishes the Connectiion and Area Charge
Capital Project Fund to account for the various connection
and area charges collected by the City. The Fund will:
1. Maintain separate revenue accounts as required to
segregate collections based on commitments to specified
debt service funds and other designations as approp-
riate.
2. Record all direct expenditures and transfers as
approved by the City Council from specific designated
PAGE 8

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 11, 1988
and undesignated balances.
3. Maintain separate designations of remaining balances
based on commitments to specified debt service funds
and other designations as appropriate.
4. Allocate interest revenue to each designated and un-
designated balance of the Fund based on the average
cash balances of the various designated and undesign-
ated balances.
In December of each year, amounts shall be transferred to
various debt service funds to provide adequate funding for
the subsequent year's debt service based on the following:
Subsequent year's debt service requirement
Less anticipated balance and revenues available in debt
service fund:
Anticipated January 1 balance available (prior to transfer)
Anticipated assessment collections
Anticipated interest revenue
Anticipated other revenues
Anticipated transfer of Enterprise Fund Service fee
Total anticipated revenues
Debt service payments requiring connection and area
charge funding (scheduled transfer)
The City will estimate the required transfers from the
Connection and Area Charge Fund by October 1 of each year
(prior to completing the budget process for the ensuing
year). If adequate amounts are not anticipated in the
Connection and Area Charge Fund to meet the above transfer
requirements, the City will consider alternate funding
sources to fund debt service payments.
As the City determines that remaining connection and area
charges are no longer required to fund outstanding debt
service, such amounts may be transferred as directed by the
City Council for water and sewer system improvements and
repairs.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this eleventh day of
January, 1988.

ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG
Resolution No. 02 - 88 Adopting the Financing and Assessment
Policy - Mr. Stahlberg explained that the Council has
already reviewed the first draft of this Policy and he has
made several more changes. The following changes or
corrections were discussed:
Page 15, last paragraph - Mr. Stahlberg noted that this
paragraph has been changed since the Council last reviewed
this document.
Page 4, Item 4A - Mr. Bisel felt that this was not clear and
asked that the first "estimated" in the third sentence be
eliminated.
Page 6, Item 5D - Mr. Bisel noted a typographical error.
Page 11, Item 3 "Interest Rate" - Mr. Stahlberg was asked to
change Springsted, Inc. to Fiscal Consultant.
There was discussion of assessing 100% of each project when
the project consisted of replacing an existing facility.
Mr. Stahlberg explained that for instance some of the City
streets were not built to city standards and the assessment
that was levied was not for a standard city street. He felt
if this was the case, a 100% assessment was common. Mr.
Reinert expressed concern regarding prospective home buyers
who would not be aware that their street could be upgraded
and they would have to bear the full burden. Mr. Stahlberg
asked if it was fair to other residents to replace a
substandard street for free allowing all the homeowners in
the City to share in the cost of that replacement. Mayor
Benson expressed concern regarding the term "current city
standards ". He noted that standards do change. Mr. Bisel
asked how would the City recover money to rebuild these
roads? There was further discussion regarding some streets
that were built quite some time ago that do not meet current
city standards. Mr. Stahlberg noted the potential for some
of the same problems experienced by Centerville. Their
citizens were assessed for a street and the street
PAGE 10

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 11, 1988
deteriorated and now they face replacement of the street and
reassessment before the past assessment is paid.
Further discussion regarded how the Charter requires a
referendum if any such expenditure is to come from the
General Fund. Mr. Bisel also noted that this is a working
policy and can be amended by the Council whenever the
Council feels it is necessary.
Mr. Bisel moved to adopt Resolution No. 02 - 88 with changes
as stated to the Financing and Assessment Policy. Mr.
Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

M. S. A. Update - The estimated allotment for 1988 is
$264,854 and this may change when final numbers are
available. Mr. Stahlberg noted that approximately 1.37
miles can be added to the City State Aid System and
recommended that an area between Birch Street and 62nd
Street be added to the system. There was discussion as to
where the next M.S.A project will be (2nd Avenue) and noted
a feasibility study has been ordered for that area. The
feasibility study will be presented at the next Council
meeting or possibly the February 8th meeting.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS
Mr. Hawkins did not have a report.
BUILDING INSPECTOR'S REPORT - PETE KLUEGEL
Report Regarding Problem Areas with Parking of Semitruck
Trailer, Second Reading of Ordinance No. 06 - 87 - Mr.
Kluegel has prepared a list of areas where there are
ordinance violations regarding truck and trailer parking.
Mr. Reinert moved to adopt the second reading of Ordinance
No. 06 - 87. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion.
Mr. Bisel asked if this ordinance were to be adopted would
Mr. Cheesebrough of 7655 - 4th Avenue be in violation? Mr.
Kluegel explained that he is already in violation of the
current ordinance. Mr. Kluegel noted that all on the list
are in violation of the current ordinance. Mr. Bisel
expressed concern because in most instances the livelihood
of these residents depends on the truck and trailer. Mr.
Bohjanen noted that most of these vehicles were parked on
large lots. Mayor Benson commented on some of the concerns
noted on the January 9th tour regarding exterior storage
problems and unsightly items. Looking at the future
development of this City, he noted that at some point in
time the City is going to have to say these are the rules.
Mr. Bisel noted a very large boat parked on a small
residential lot. He asked if this large boat was any
different than the semitruck being used by an individual for
his livelihood? He asked if this City was being too
restrictive? Mr. Schumacher noted that in some cases such
as the Cheesebrough property, the property could be rezoned.
Mr. Bisel suggested using the Conditional Use Permit method
of control. He noted that there must be something available
to deal with this situation. Mayor Benson noted that the
real concern is for just a few residents who earn a living
with their semitruck and suggested going the permit route.

dated December 28, 1987.
1987 Annual Report - Mr. Kluegel has prepared a report and
this report was given to the Council in their packets. Mr.
Kluegel read his report. Mayor Benson_asked Mr. Kluegel
about the large piece of construction equipment at EMJ Pipe
Services. This item cannot be screened by the fence because
of its height. Mr. Kluegel said he would ask that this
piece of equipment be parked at the rear of the lot.
Mayor Benson told the Council that Mr. Kluegel does have a
problem with semitruck and trailer parking. Now the Council
has just voted down a proposed ordinance that would have
been of help and Mayor Benson asked that the Council work
with Mr. Kluegel to get him something that is workable. Mr.
Bisel said he is working with the City Planner and Building
Inspector and will pursue this matter.
OLD BUSINESS
Report of Anoka County Oak Wilt Seminar - Mr. Bohjanen
reported that he and Mr. Hoffman attended the seminar and
because of the weather it was not well attended. He noted
that funding is being requested from the legislature and
noted that the Governor has said he will support the
legislation. Mayor Benson asked that all matters previously
discussed by the Council be forwarded to Gregg Dahl for the
upcoming legislative session.

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 11, 1988
implement a solid waste abatement program in 1988. This
resolution is requesting use of the 1988 funding for solid
waste abatement for a study to establish the goals and
objectives of the program. He noted that Anoka County has
already prepared a plan for the County but Mr. Volk is
looking for some expertise in preparing a plan for Lino
Lakes. Mr. Reinert asked why the County was not providing
the expertise. Mr. Schumacher explained the personnel at
the County level are not available to help each city in the
County on an individual basis.
It was noted that this is another state mandated program
without funding. Mr. Reinert said he had sat in on the
early meetings at the County and noted that there was a
large staff present at these meetings. He felt that the
County should have provided a master plan that Lino Lakes
could fit into. Mr. Schumacher said there is an overall
plan but it is very general.
Mr. Reinert moved to authorize Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Volk
to move forward toward a solid waste abatement plan and
bring the plan to the Council and adopt Resolution No. 04 -
88. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously. '
