Council Member Bohjanen asked how long of a period did this disbursement cover? Mr. Schumacher explained two weeks. This disbursement includes payroll. Disbursement listings from the Centennial Fire District will continue to be included with the regular disbursements. OPEN MIKE Mediation Services Annual Report, Ann Wallerstedt, Executive 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 Director - Ms. Wallerstedt greeted the Council and explained that the purpose for her visit this evening was to highlight areas of the 1989 Annual Report and respond to any questions or suggestions that the Council may have. Ms. Wallerstedt noted an increase in growth during 1989 in areas of case load, volumetric and awareness of the program. She also noted that there has been a significant increase in their ability to raise funds and to be self supporting. Ms. Wallerstedt noted that there were several cases in Lino Lakes in 1989 and the Council Chambers were used as the site of mediation. Ms. Wallerstedt noted the basic services that are available and explained that Mediation Services are now receiving referrals from the Human Rights Department. She also noted that they are now dealing with post- divorce visitation arrangements but not the divorce itself. Mayor Bisel asked what the success rate was for this service? Ms. Wallerstedt explained that because the parties are willing to agree to mediation the success rate is very high, approximately 90 %. Council Member Neal asked if this service takes the place of an attorney? Ms. Wallerstedt said no, they do not get involved with criminal cases, just things that an attorney would not feel is worth his time. She noted that this service is free. Council Member Bohjanen asked if this service was available to non - profitable organizations such as the VFW. Ms. Wallerstedt said yes. Mayor Bisel and the Council thanked Ms. Wallerstedt for coming this evening. CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT - RANDY SCHUMACHER Consideration of Approval of Amendments 2.3 and 1.1 of the Centennial Fire District Joint Powers Agreement - Mr. Schumacher explained that from time to time the Council will be asked to consider amendments to the Joint Powers Agreement. The Council is being asked to consider two amendments: 1) deals with the payment of disbursements, and 2) would confer authority on the Fire Department to deal with hazardous materials, spills or leaks. A letter from the City Attorney Hawkins indicates that he has reviewed the amendments and they are legal. Council Member Neal moved to approve the two amendments as presented. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Schumacher explained that all the expenditures for the Fire Department will still come before all of the city councils. Mr. Schumacher explained the need for amendment No. 1.1. He noted that the rationale for this amendment is that no other COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 agency in the cities has been trained or is equipped to deal with hazardous materials and to confer the authority on the fire department for those responses should be indicated in the general purpose statement. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reinert was absent. Consideration of Designating a Signatory from the City of Lino Lakes - Council Member Bohjanen moved to designated Mr. Neal as the signatory from Lino Lakes. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Council Member Neal explained that there was great difficulty in getting the proper signatures some time ago because several of the designated signatories were out of town at the same time. He suggested that someone be appointed as an alternate for him in case he is out of town when his signature is required. Council Member Bohjanen moved to appoint Council Member Kuether as alternate signatory. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reinert was absent. INTRODUCTION OF THE 1990/1994 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN - RANDY SCHUMACHER Mr. Schumacher explained that a five (5) year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) was included in the Council packets and he read from the presentation the purpose of a CIP Plan. Mr. Schumacher noted that the CIP is a strong planning tool and it is constantly changing as the needs of the City change. The purpose for this presentation tonight is for the Council to become familiar with the format and to allow the opportunity for the Council Members to get their input into the Plan. Council Member Reinert asked that depreciation be made a part of the presentation. He explained this would let the Council know the life of a piece of equipment and plan for its replacement. He suggested using a method similar to what is being used by the Fire Department. Mr. Schumacher explained that the last part of tonights presentation is a Priority Rating Form. He asked that the Council Members review the proposed CIP, complete the Priority Rating Form and return it to staff and then at the next Council meeting, set a work session to discuss the entire Plan. No action was required on this matter. PLANNER'S REPORT - JOHN MILLER Economic Development Committee Update - Mr. Miller reviewed the activity of the EDC starting at the time it was founded 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 approximately two and one half years ago. Its mandate was opened ended and the Committee found that it had to start from scratch since nothing had previously been prepared. The first four concerns confronting this committee were: 1) there was not a strong commercial /industrial base to begin with, and 2) the members did not have any experience with funding techniques to attract or find businesses, and 3) there were no analysis of commercial /industrial need in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, and 4) there was not a decent reserve of commercial /industrial land in the City. Mr. Miller explained that no one knew what Lino Lakes had and there were no real policies on design standards. The EDC became involved with establishing a lot and house size standard in 1988. They then spent time in preparing a land use inventory and tried to determine what was needed in the future. Zoning recommendations were made to the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council. Some of these were acted upon and others denied or are still unresolved. At two separate times consultants were hired. One consultant provided a retail analysis for Lino Lakes. This report detailed how much retail space was available and how much retail space Lino Lakes could support now and in the future. Mr. Miller noted that this was a relatively high number. Housing concerns were addressed by the EDC. It appeared that Lino Lakes was the next suburban tier to see a push for development. A housing study was commissioned and this study suggested that Lino Lakes should be careful to not overextend the sewer and water in case these is a recession in the housing industry. Currently the EDC is working with some commercial people who may locate in Lino Lakes. These include the Rice Lake Plaza organization, the Outlet Mall organization and the sports facilities organization. The Gateway proposal was mentioned and Mr. Miller explained that although Gateway has not located in Lino Lakes, preparing the proposal for Gateway was the first attempt by Lino Lakes to attract a major commercial /industrial developer. Mr. Miller noted that the presentation was well done and well received. After the basic analysis work was completed, the EDC spent a considerable amount of time on preparing promotional materials. A Residents Guide was completed and mailed to every household in Lino Lakes. The Guide is also presented to all new home owners by the builder of the home. A video was prepared and is being distributed widely. A New Developers Reference Guide is in the process of being prepared. The third annual Builder's Day is being planned and most recent activity is the preparation of "Our Town" map. This map will provide at a glance what is in Lino Lakes. The builders and developers are paying a large part of the cost of the map. COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 The next project planned by the EDC is to obtain an inventory of property for firms to purchase. However, before this can be accomplished, a comprehensive plan for the freeway intersections must be completed. Currently the EDC is looking at two different studies to determine what consultant to select to complete the plan. After the plan is completed, then the total cost for each area must be determined before the City can obtain the inventory. Creation of an EDC authority will allow Lino Lakes to build the inventory and offer parcels to developers. Later this fall after the comprehensive plan is completed, a luncheon is planned with developers to determine if they are interested in locating in Lino Lakes. The EDC is also looking at a redevelopment plan for Lake Drive. In addition, there should be an announcement of a business park south of the prison. The long term roll of the EDC will basically be a "think tank" and more of a clearing house for business activity. Mr. Miller said he felt the EDC had paid for itself and has given ideas to the Design Review Board, Park Board and the Council. Mayor Bisel said he thought it is interesting to see how the EDC has evolved and felt this is a good experience for the City. Council Member Neal asked about the costs of the consultants. Mr. Miller explained. Mr. Miller was asked how the area being considered for the campus industrial park was zoned. Mr. Miller said it is zoned Light Industrial and maybe with the requests mixed zoning may be considered. Council Member Neal asked when the EDC will be contacting clients regarding locating in Lino Lakes. Mr. Miller said this should take place this fall when there should be an inventory to offer with costs figures. It was noted that some people serving on the EDC have businesses located outside of Lino Lakes. Mr. Miller was asked why this has occurred. Mr. Miller said he did not know why. It was noted that some members of the EDC do not live in Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Uhde was invited because of his experience in land developing and Mr. Jensen was invited to be a member because he is a member of the Anoka County Economic Development Committee. It was felt that it would be important to be in contact with other agencies within the County so that these agencies would be aware of what is happening in Lino Lakes. 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 Council Member Neal felt that all members of the EDC should be Lino Lakes residents. He said those who do not live in the City do not care what is happening in Lino Lakes. Council Member Bohjanen said he felt that the EDC provided checks and balances for the Design Review Board. The EDC cannot approve a site plan and cannot issue bonds but they offer the planning. Council Member Reinert asked why we do not have City business people on the EDC. He felt it would be worthwhile to see if we have people here who would be interested. Council Member Reinert asked about the study being considered by the EDC. He noted that the expenditure for this study had not be approved by the Council. Mr. Miller explained that the EDC had not selected a vender and when this happens a request will be brought to the Council from the Design Review Board. Council Member Reinert noted that what has been done by the EDC has been done with great expense. He said he did not want the EDC to get to far ahead of the Council. Mr. Miller noted that this Committee is advisory only and has not done anything without Council approval. He felt that the money was well spent and will "prime the pump ". Council Member Reinert asked land planning and Mr. Miller explained that the Design Review Board, EDC and landowners are all working with the consultants on this matter although they are not doing the same thing. There has been an attempt to not exclude any one group. Mayor Bisel explained that there are three different bodies concerned about land use and to not coordinate their efforts would be a mistake. He felt involvement between the three bodies was needed so that each understood what the other was doing. Council Member Neal asked if the $20,000.00 planned for the next EDC study was in the budget. Mr. Miller said yes. Mr. Miller said he felt it is a question of how much the Council wants to spend to "prime the pump ". Council Member Neal asked what report did not appear to be worth the money it cost. Mr. Miller explained it was the Maxfield Research housing study. Council Member Kuether noted that the report was very conservative. Council Member Reinert noted that a lot of cash has been expended in the last couple of years and a lot of paper work has been generated. He said it is time to get out and drum up business. He noted that if the plan is never put into action, nothing is going to happen. Mayor Bisel said that he and the EDC are very serious but without direction, inventory or anything else in place nothing worthwhile will happen. The EDC is considering commercial /industrial development much larger than what has previously been experienced in Lino Lakes. They are considering developing the intersection by COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 planning rings of development. They need more specifics on subdivision of the land and where the utilities should be located and where they will come from. Mayor Bisel encouraged all of the Council Members to look at the tapes to see what kind of work is planned for the intersections. Council Member Neal suggested running the tapes on the cable TV. Council Member Bohjanen asked the Council to keep in mind that there will be no doubling up of efforts and the little guy is also needed. Mr. Miller noted that the EDC is also looking at starting incubator businesses. ENGINEER'S REPORT Resolution No. 06 - 90 Ordering Improvement and Plans and Specifications, Second Avenue - Mr. Schneider explained that in September, 1989 the Council passed a motion to proceed with this improvement. According to the Improvement Policy this motion should have been in the form of a resolution. Approval of this resolution is in keeping with the present policies. The plans and specifications for Second Avenue have been completed, signed by MnDOT and are available this evening for anyone to review. He also explained that the review period for the return of comments on the EAW for this improvement has expired and only a couple of comments were received and have been addressed. Mr. Schneider will be asking the Council to declare that there is no negative environmental impact due to this improvement. Mayor Bisel asked if the improvement plan calls for "floating" a portion of Second Avenue. Mr. Schneider explained that approximately the south quarter of a mile will be surcharged or "floated" and it will take approximately one year to complete this. The balance of the street will be completed in 1990. During the period when the street is in the process of being surcharged, traffic will be re- routed either north on the new Second Avenue or west of Glenview Drive. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 06 - 90 subject to the Engineer's recommendations. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 06 - 90 can be found at the end of these minutes. Resolution No. 07 - 90 Approving Plans and Ordering Bids, Second Avenue - Mr. Schneider explained that this resolution allows TKDA to place the ads for bids on Second Avenue. The ad has been written and is scheduled to be published this 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 week with the Council's approval. Council Member Neal asked Mr. Schneider to explained "negative declaration" for Second Avenue. Mr. Schneider explained that several agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Army CORPS have asked for further information on the impact of the wetlands where Second Avenue crosses the low areas just south of Lake Drive. These questions and concerns were successfully answered so that these agencies have not filed an objection to the improvement project. Since there are no objections, the Council can declare that there will be no negative impact on the environment because of this improvement. Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 07 - 90. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Negative Declaration, Second Avenue - Council Member Neal moved to authorize Mr. Schumacher to sign the letter prepared by TKDA declaring that there is no negative impact to the environment because of the Second Avenue improvement. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDER AND DETERMINE THE USE OF THE 1990/1991 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS, RESOLUTION NO. 03 - 89 Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 8:27 P.M. Mr. Schumacher explained that the Lino Lakes portion of the 1990/1991 CDBG funds is $24,498.00 and the Council should make a decision as to where this money should be spent. Several non - profit organizations have made an appeal for a portion of this money and the draft resolution included in the Council packets reflects these requests. The Council may decide to increase or eliminate some of the requests or add to some of the requests. Council Member Neal explained that he has been working with the Anoka County Community Action Program, Inc. (ACCAP) for some time. He gave examples of the kinds of work he performs for this organization. Elaine Bangarud, Coordinator of ACCAP some of the projects completed this year and explained how people qualify for assistance from ACCAP. She noted that the demand for services has grown drastically and although Council Member Neal is suppose to work twenty (20) hours per week, he is working much more than that. ACCAP is asking for financial assistance so that another person can be hired to assist Council Member Neal in the portion of Anoka County that he covers. Council Member Neal said this is a good program and the program is helping in ways that the Council would never have believed. Council Member Bohjanen said he has been following COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 what Council Member Neal is doing and the VFW is also trying to help with the funding of the program. Mayor Bisel listed the programs requesting a portion of the CDBG funds: Lino Lakes Senior Program, $5,000.00; RISE, Inc., $2,500.00; North Anoka County Meals on Wheels, no specific amount requested; ACCAP, $3,200.00 and the balance of the funds to be designated for the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Drainage Program. Mayor Bisel said the money requested for the Lino Lakes Senior Program was for the salary of the coordinator. He felt a coordinator was extremely important to the program. Mayor Bisel said he was not sure of the RISE, Inc. program or their real need. Mr. Schumacher explained the purpose of RISE, Inc. and further noted that their representatives indicated that they served approximately six (6) Lino Lakes residents during 1989. Mr. Schumacher briefly described the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Drainage Program and noted that a great deal of money will be needed to acquire the required easements and lands. Mayor Bisel suggested that the Council set a specific policy regarding the handling of the various requests for money from this City. There was no further public comment from the audience. Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 8:43 P.M. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Council Member Reinert moved to allocate the CDBG funding as follows: Lino Lakes Senior Program, $5,000.00; Anoka County Community Action Program, $3,200.00; RISE, Inc., $1,000.00 and the remainder to the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Drainage Program. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried with Council Member Neal abstaining. Council Member Bohjanen noted that the money designated for the Comprehensive Storm Sewer Drainage Program was for acquisition of easements, not for any further studies. Resolution No. 03 - 90 can be found at the end of these minutes. OLD BUSINESS Consideration of Approval of an Official City Newspaper Policy and Appointment of Liaisons to the Park Board, Design Review Board and Economic Development Committee - Mr. Schumacher explained that the City Council did not take action to appoint an official newspaper but did decide to set a policy regarding legal publications since there are three different newspaper delivered within the City. Mr. Schumacher drafted a proposed official City newspaper policy COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 that would appoint the Quad Press as the official City newspaper as required in the State Statutes. In addition, this policy would provide better information to the residents of the City on all issues pertaining to land use changes or public improvements by simultaneously publishing these issues in the Circulating Pines and the Forest Lake Times. This policy would also provide the Council the right to instruct the City Clerk to publish any notice in any or all of the above mentioned newspapers at their discretion. The City Clerk asked if she could add elections to the policy. It was decided that at any time she felt it was important to publish an item in all newspapers, she should request permission. Council Member Neal moved to adopt the Official City Newspaper Policy drafted by Mr. Schumacher. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Appointment of Council Liaison's - Mr. Schumacher noted that Mayor Bisel has not yet appointed liaison's to the Park Board, Design Review Board and the Economic Development Committee. Mayor Bisel appointed Council Member Neal as liaison to the Park Board, himself as liaison to the Design Review Board and Council Member Kuether to the EDC. Mayor Bisel noted that all committees and boards are open to the Council and encouraged all members of the Council to attend. Council Member Neal asked that an alternate be appointed as liaison to the Centennial School Board to cover for him when he has to attend a Park Board meeting. Council Member Kuether was appoint alternate. Consideration of Allowing Mr. Reinert to Change His Vote on Agenda Item No. 11, February 12, 1990 - Mr. Hawkins read from the Robert's Rules of Order, the section of the Rules that allows a Council Member to change his vote on a particular agenda item. Mayor Bisel read another paragraph from the same document and stated he would object to Council Member Reinert changing his vote on the above mentioned agenda item. Mayor Bisel said that he felt Council members have enough time prior to the Council meeting to become fully familiar with the agenda items and should come to the Council meeting informed enough to cast an intelligent vote. Council Member Reinert noted that this matter was to be discussed at the Council Work Session of February 1, 1990 however after the discussion of the 35E Corridor Rezoning, some Council Members left so there was not a quorum. Council Member Reinert said he had also attempted to try to set a special meeting of the Council prior to the February 12, 1990 regular meeting to clarify the issues but, he was overruled. He said he felt the item was not properly discussed and he did not have a clear understanding. He noted that in the past the Council COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 has met as a Ways and Means Committee and fully discussed salary issues prior to bringing the matter to the Council. Mayor Bisel explained that two of the Council Members were out of town and another Member was not available for a special meeting on February 12, 1990. Council Member Reinert explained that the only reason he wishes to change his vote at this time it to register his disagreement with the manner in which the salary issues were handled. Mayor Bisel noted that raises for the City Administrator, City Clerk, Parks Director and Public Works Superintendent have not yet been determined. Review of these employees will be brought to the Council early in April. He also explained that last fall the Council voted to "buy into a pay equity plan ". What happened on February 12, 1990 was the continuation of the implementation of that Plan. Council Member Neal explained the reason he voted "no" February 12, 1990 was because the Ways and Means Committee • never did consider the matter as planned on February 1, 1990. He said he was surprised when no one on the Council asked why he voted "no ". Council Member Bohjanen explained that he was very familiar with the salary proposal and knew that it was the implementation of the Pay Equity Plan that was started late last year. He also noted that all the information was in the packets and all Council Members had the time to discuss any concerns or questions with the Administrator as one Council Member did. Council Member Reinert said he felt that this discussion this evening indicates that there was confusion about the matter. He explained his understanding of the Pay Equity Plan was to bring the entire thing into focus and bring employees who were far below the Comparable Worth schedule up to scale. This was accomplished and he said he is happy with this. However, when it comes to department heads, people in a position of leadership and those who carry out the Council's wishes, this is a different matter and should be discussed before the Ways and Means Committee. Council Member Reinert said he was mad about this situation. Mayor Bisel said the issue this evening is that Council Member Reinert voted in the affirmative for the entire salary package on February 12, 1990. The matter should have been discussed when the motion was made and seconded, not two weeks later. Mayor Bisel said if Council Member had abstained from voting, he could better understand his reasoning. Council Member Reinert said he voted in the affirmative as a courtesy to the new mayor and because there were a number of hearings scheduled and he did not want 1 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 to take the time at that point. He noted that it did take a long time to get a second to the motion. Council Member Reinert said that all he was asking for was the opportunity to change his vote. The motion will still pass because the vote will be three (3) to two (2). Mayor Bisel said the point is that this item was on the agenda and there was ample time to research the item and vote in the best interest of the City. He asked if this does not occur, what good is your vote? Council Member Reinert said he was aware of how this should have been handled but the system in place failed to take department heads who are to carry out the Council's decisions and review them separately. After further discussion, Council Member Reinert moved to request that his vote on agenda item No. 11 of the February 12, 1990 Council meeting be changed from the affirmative to the negative. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried with Mayor Bisel and Council Member Bohjanen voting no. Approval of Council Minutes of February 26, 1990 - Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve these minutes as presented. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Consideration of the 1990 Animal Control Contract with the Greater Anoka County Humane Society - Mrs. Anderson explained that she has reviewed the proposed contract and it is the same as in the previous year. The cost is also the same. Chief Campbell has indicated that he is very satisfied with the service and feels that the Humane Society will work well with the Community Service Officer. Council Member Neal moved to approve Option No. 1 on the Green Sheet, approving the 1990 Animal Control Contract. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Tax Forfeit Property - Mrs. Anderson explained that Anoka County has notified her that five parcels of land in Anoka County are tax forfeit and the Anoka County Land Commissioner has asked her to determine if the Council wishes to acquire any or all of the parcels. One parcel was originally platted as a future street in the Forest Glen subdivision. The remaining four parcels are lots on Captain's Place. The Department of Natural Resources has indicated that two of the lots are unbuildable because of poor soil conditions and the remaining two are buildable. These four lots adjoin four other lots recently acquired by the City. Council Member Reinert moved to approve option No. 1 on the Green Sheet instructing the Clerk to apply for title to all five parcels of land. Council Member Kuether seconded COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 12, 1990 the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Discussion of City Council Starting Time - Council Member Neal moved that since Council meetings are now cable casted, the Council should consider meeting at 1:00 P.M. rather than at 7:00 P.M. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Mayor Bisel said that would be very inconvenient for the Council Members who have to work. He also asked how this would affect public hearings. Would public hearings have to be held at a separate time so that the public would have opportunity to appear? Council Member Reinert said that the thought is good and maybe some meetings could be held earlier. Council Member Neal said that since some meetings run so long, public hearings could be placed at the end of the agenda and then they would be held close to the time the Council would normally be starting. Mr. Schumacher said that there are some cities who do hold council meetings late in the afternoon and suggested they be contacted to see how they handle public hearings. Mayor Bisel said the Administrator should check the Charter to see if there is any language regarding this matter. Council Member Neal moved to hold his motion and Council Member Reinert said he would hold his second until Mr. Schumacher returns to the Council with further information. Motion carried unanimously. Reminder of Spring Recycling Day, May 5, 1990 - Mr. Schumacher included in the Council packets information regarding the spring recycling day. He noted that there will be assistance from the various organizations involved with this project. This is for Council information only. Council Member Bohjanen told the Council that he was awaken at 2:30 A.M. by the Lino Lakes Police Department because of an attempted break -in at the VFW. He commended the Police Department for their actions. The only damage was a hole in the wall and nothing was taken. Council Member Bohjanen asked anyone who has influence with their legislators to contact them to let them know that the proposed revised gambling laws will stop almost all of the donations now being made by charitable organizations. Mayor Bisel suggested that the addresses of our legislators be put on cable TV. Mr. Schumacher told the Council that he is prepared to come to the Council with a proposed two year contract for Local 49. The Council will meet on Thursday, March 15, 1990 at 3:30 P.M. to discuss the proposal. Council member Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 9:32 P.M. Council Member Reinert seconded the motion. Aye.
