OPEN MIKE
North Metro Mayor's Association, Joseph Strauss - Mr.
Strauss, Executive Director of North Metro Mayor's
Association explained that this organization is comprised of
eleven north metro area cities. This area encompasses more
people and receives fewer public and private dollars than the
areas south of the Twin Cities. He noted all the facilities
located south of the downtown areas and said that his
organization was addressing this issue and is organizing
efforts to get the fair share of both dollars and development
in the north metro area. The focus at this time is mostly
economic development and transportation. This organization
is attempting to influence decision makers in the public and
private sectors regarding both of these matter.
Mr. Strauss noted that the north metro area is the fastest
growing area in the entire State of Minnesota. He explained
that if the north-metro area does not shape its tax base at
this time, it will. become totally dependent upon residential
taxes. This organization is attempting to put pressure on
the legislature and lobby for matters of concern to the north

metro area as well as market the area and improve its image.
Mr. Strauss explained that this organization is currently
publishing a magazine called "Northern Lights ". He outlined
the content of the magazine.
Mr. Strauss told the Council of some of the organizations
accomplishments during the 1989 and 1990 legislation
sessions. These issues involved transportation, bridge
funding and Tax Increment Financing.
The Council thanked Mr. Strauss for updating them regarding
this organization. No action was taken on the proposed North
Metro Development Association Agreement.
Orientation in the Use of Installment Purchase Contracts,
Rusty Fifield - Mr. Fifield explained to the Council a cost
effective method of building public buildings using an
installment purchase plan. He noted that this plan allows
the City to sell bonds with interest rates comparable to
general obligation bonds. It allows the City to levy taxes
for the payment of these bonds outside of the levy limit and
they are not subject to debt limits of the City. In
addition, the bonds are not subject to a referendum. The
biggest concern regarding this method of financing public
buildings is that this financing option will no longer be
available after July 1, 1990. In addition an Economic
Development Authority must be created by the City Council.
Mr. Fifield outlined the details of this plan: 1) call for a
public hearing on the creation of the Economic Development
Authority, 2) authorize the preparation of financing plans
for presentation to the City Council on May 29, 1990, and 3)
create the Economic Development Authority to issue the bonds
on June 11, 1990.
Mr. Schumacher explained that he was directed by the Council
to look into this type of financing and bring the information
to the Council. He noted that there is very little time to
complete all the details that must be completed to insure
that the City can become involve in this financing program.
He explained that this financing tool would be very useful in
the event the Council does decide to go forward with building
any new municipal buildings.
The creation of an Economic Development Authority (EDA) was
discussed. The Council was told that they would determine
the Board of Commissioners of the EDA. The EDA would have
certain powers unto itself and certain other powers that
would be subject to Council approval. Council Member Reinert
asked how the City Charter would affect the creation of an
EDA. Mr. Hawkins explained that there would be no conflict
between the EDA and the City Charter.
Mr. Miller noted that the Economic Development Committee has
PAGE 2

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
discussed this financing method and would like to meet with
the Council prior to the public hearing.
Mr. Fifield explained that if this method of financing is
developed by the Council, the Council will have to be
specific regarding where the bond money is to be spent. The
ability to collapse any portion or all of the projects should
be built into the program.
The Council thanked Mr. Fifield for attending this evening.
(See Page 13, Economic Development Authority)
PLANNER'S REPORT - JOHN MILLER
Economic Development Committee Recommendation to Complete
Market Analysis - Mr. Miller explained that Lino Lakes has
been successful in marketing its residential development and
now has placed a cap on the number of housing units that can
be built in one (1) year. However, Lino Lakes has not been
as successful in attracting industrial and commercial
development. The Economic Development Committee (EDC) has
looked at the two (2) diamond interchanges in the City and
has noted that there is considerable interest in developing
these areas. The EDC has decided that a market analysis and
land planning analysis should be completed and they have
taken proposals from several firms to complete these studies.
When this work is completed, the EDC is planning to sponsor a
developers luncheon and make a sales pitch for these areas.
I.t is hoped that this will attract some development for the
spring of 1991.
Three (3) proposals have been received and Mr. Miller
recommended that the Council accept the proposal from Short,
Elliot and Hendrickson to complete a land planning analysis
and accept the proposal from Advance, Inc. to complete a
market analysis. The total cost of both proposals is
$16,900.00.
Mr. Schumacher explained that the City will pay for the two
studies at this time. It is expected that as the land
develops, the developers will participate in these costs.
The City may never fully recover all of the costs.
Council Member Reinert asked why these studies were not being
completed in -house and use the resources of the firms
Selected here. He noted that a large amount of money has
been spent on studies and felt that the City Planner should
be used in this capacity. T' ;; explained that these two
studie very time consuming and Mr. Miller did not
nave time to do this. Mayor Bisel noted that these studies
are addressing marketing not planning. He ieit that =�J'
two interchanges needed to be developed to the bet_ .vantage
of Lino Lakes and the City should not be re- active t ::
development but pro- active and see that they are pia; ed for
PAGE 3
47
48
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
the best usage.
Council Member Bohjanen asked if there was a rush to complete
these studies and Mr. Miller explained that the City has
received petitions from all of the landowners adjacent to the
I35E interchange for a feasibility study. Mr. Miller also
noted that if a commercial or industrial developer came to
the City and said that they needed land for development, the
City has nothing to offer them. We have a lot of vacant
land, but none with services available.
Council Member Reinert explained that he would like to see
Mr. Miller take a more active roll and reduce these costs.
Mayor Bisel said that the City is no longer looking at just
housing developments. He also noted that the EDC was not the
priority as it is now. The EDC is taking a very active roll
in the development of an expanded tax base. Council Member
Reinert said he was not in disagreement with the need for the
analysis, however he did not agree with spending money for
something that could be done in- house.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Option No. 1 and
approve the proposal from Short, Elliot, and Hendrickson to
complete land planning as outlined in its proposal and to
approve the proposal from Advance, Inc. to complete a market
analysis as outlined in its proposal providing that these
analysis can be charged back to the developers. Council
Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Hawkins noted that
this is a cost that cannot be assessed. However, the City
can include in the development agreement a portion of these
charges that would be paid in cash.
On a roll call vote, motion carried with Council Member
Reinert voting no.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING, REZONE OF I35E CORRIDOR, JOHN
MILLER
This public hearing was continued from the April 29, 1990
Council meeting.
Mr. Miller explained that he has visited with a few residents
in this area and would like to have this public hearing
continued to May 29, 1990 so that he can visit with other
residents. Several members of the audience asked the Council
to make a decision on the matter this evening. Council
Member Bohjanen explained that the note on the agenda
indicated the public hearing would be continued, so he did
not study the material in his packet. He felt that he was
not prepared to make a decision this evening.
After further discussion on this matter, Council Member
Bohjanen moved to continue the public hearing to May 29,
1990. Mayor Bisel seconded the motion. On a roll call vote,

Reinert voting no.
The Council took a five minute recess.
CONSIDERATION OF CABLE TELEVISION EXTENSION, OTTER LAKE ROAD,
RESOLUTION NO. 27 - 90, DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch explained that. Cable TV North Central has requested
permission to expand their service to Otter Lake Road through
the White Bear Cable system. This will be a temporary
service until the time that density in the area warrants the
extension of the Lino Lakes system. Franchise fees will be
collected by Lino Lakes. There was discussion regarding
getting the cable TV carrier to connect this area to the Lino
Lakes system before their criteria is met.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve Resolution No. 27 -
90 and allow the connection to the White Bear Cable system.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call
vote, motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 27 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
FIRST READING, ORDINANCE NO. 06 - 90 CHANGING REGULAR COUNCIL
MEETING HOURS, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the first reading of
Ordinance No. 06 - 90 and dispenses with the reading.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Mayor Bisel asked
that the City Charter be reviewed to determine if this will
require a Charter amendment. Council Member Neal suggested
that all boards and committees look at changing their meeting
time. Mayor Bisel also suggested that the citizens call and
let the staff know whether they agree with the proposed
meeting time change.
On a roll call vote, motion passed unanimously.
Ordinance No 06 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.

the qualifications to liberal because too many residents will
apply for the deferment and make the project not feasible.
There were questions regarding value of homes, asset
qualification and how to prove the accuracy of statements
provided by the residents. Mr. Schumacher explained that
Staff would review each application for deferment and request
supporting documents such as tax statements. Council Member
Kuether noted that Item D is a very low market value. She
explained that if this criteria fits only a couple of people
in the City it will not be effective. Mayor Bisel referred
to Item F and noted that the interest rate should be
adjusted. Mr. Schumacher explained that this could be
written the same as the assessment policy.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the first reading of
Ordinance No. 07 - 90 and dispense with the reading thereof
and direct Staff to research Item D and Item F and
subdivision 3. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On
a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 07 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
SECOND READING, ORDINANCE NO. 08 - 90, REZONE OF PINERIDGE,
PHASE I, JOHN MILLER
Mr. Miller explained that the developer is in the process of
subdividing the property known as the Soukop property for
single - family residences. At the April 23, 1990 Council
meeting the Council approved the preliminary plat for a R -1
subdivision and approved the first reading of the above
referenced ordinance to rezone the property from R -1X to R -1.
Mr. Miller explained the main reason for the rezone request
is the amount of wetlands in the area. This will allow the
frontage of the lots to be reduced from 90 feet to 80 feet.
This will give the developer an average of 1.8 home per acre.
Council Member Neal asked if the park issue has been
resolved. Mr. Miller and Mr. Volk said that it had been
resolved and the resolution is found in the Park Board
minutes. Council Member Reinert felt that the matter had not
been resolved.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the second reading
of Ordinance No. 08 - 90 and dispense with the reading.
Mayor Bisel seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, the
motion failed with Council Member Neal and Council Member
voting no and Council Member Kuether abstaining.
Mayor Bisel noted that the land is not R -1X land and further
explained that it was zoned with a larger parcel of land. At
the time it was zoned R -1X, no one investigated to see what
the soils conditions were. Mr. Miller explained the
background of the Montain property and how this entire area
PAGE 6
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
was zone R - -1X. After the developer of the Soukup property
completed his soils analysis it was determined that this is
not R -1X property. There will have to be a lot of drainage
and ditching to make the land developable. Mr. Miller
further explained that the developer is only proposing to
reduce lot sizes and not house values. The Montain and the
Barott properties will remain R -1X.
Council Member Reinert said he felt the matter of maintenance
of the ponding areas was still unresolved. He wanted to know
why home owner associations were required in only the Uhde
subdivisions.
SECOND READING, ORDINANCE NO. 05 - 90, AMENDING ACCESSORY
BUILDING CODE, JOHN MILLER
Mr. Miller explained that the first reading of this ordinance
was on April 23, 1990. This ordinance would allow slightly
larger accessory buildings in residential areas with 3/4 acre
lots to 1 3/4 acre lots. Council Member Reinert moved to
approve Ordinance No. 05 - 90 and dispense with the reading.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call
vote, the motion carried with Council Member Kuether and
Council Member Bohjanen voting no.
Ordinance No. 05 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
First Reading, Ordinance No. 03 - 90 Amending Street
Construction Standards, Dan Boxrud - Mr. Boxrud referred to
Mr. Volk on this matter. Mr. Volk explained that he has been
working with Mr. Boxrud on this matter and the changes
basically are housekeeping changes. He noted that addressing
how streets are designed to accommodate the water table's
effect on soil strength is the most important change. This
proposed ordinance has been reviewed by Staff.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve the first read ng of
Ordinance No. 03 - 90 and dispense with the reading. ouncil
Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call v te,
motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 03 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
First Reading, Ordinance No. 04 - 90 Amending the Sub ision
and Platting Code, Dan Boxrud - Mr. Boxrud explained
with the change in the street construction code, a r ion
in the subdivision and platting ordinance is requireZ "his
ordinance will eliminate duplication and conflict and: :e
other minor changes.
PAGE 7
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
Mayor Bisel referred to the park requirement in the
subdivision ordinance and asked how this City can get
developers to think parks and submit something more
acceptable at the time of platting. Mr. Boxrud explained
that the Park Board will be addressing this problem and
establishing a comprehensive park plan. When this is
completed, developers will be able to look at this plan and
plan their development including the designated parks. The
developer will know up front where and how much park land is
required. Mr. Boxrud also indicated that a step by step
procedure is being developed for the developer.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve the first reading of
Ordinance No. 04 - 90 and dispense with the reading. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion
carried unanimously.
Review of Modified Assessment Policy, Darrell Schneider - Mr.
Schneider told the Council that the assessment policy has
been reviewed and he is recommending a number of changes in
the policy. Mr. Schneider noted that the changes included a
number of items that should be discussed by the Council in
detail and suggested that a workshop be called for this
review. Mr. Schneider asked that the City Attorney review
the draft policy and give his input in the area regarding
condemnation.
It was suggested that a workshop be set prior to the next
Council meeting to review this matter.
Resolution No. 26 - 90 Ordering Plans and Specifications for
Installation of Wearing Course in Several Subdivision,
Darrell Schneider - Mr. Schneider explained that these
subdivisions with the exception of Woodridge Estates and
Rohavic Oaks, Second Addition are all about 80% completed and
ready for the wearing course. He suggested that he prepare
plans for only the subdivisions that have reached the 800
completion. Mr. Schneider noted that he felt that the policy
of waiting until the subdivision is 80% completed is a good
policy.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve Resolution No. 26 -
90 and to accept the Engineer's recommendation to exclude
Woodridge Estates and Rohavic Oaks, Second Phase. Council
Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote,
Lotion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 26 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
Resolution No. 22 - 90 Receiving Feasibility Report and
Calling Public Rearing on White Tail Ridge - Dan Boxrud - Mr.
Boxrud explained that there are six properties involved with
the potential improvement. He has prepared a very
PAGE 8

1
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
conservative estimate of costs, including curbs, gutters and
street lights. Mr. Boxrud expressed concern regarding
whether or not some of the property is buildable. If some of
the frontage is unbuildable, the cost per foot increases and
then the matter of whether the benefit exceeds the cost
becomes an important question.
Mr. Boxrud noted that the completion of this proposed
improvement would complete a loop from Reiling Road to Deer
Pass Trail. It was noted that neither of these existing
streets have curb and gutter. It was also noted that
whatever the Council decides in this area will probably
affect what will happen in similar situations.
Council Member Reinert moved to approve Resolution
No. 22 - 90 and Option No. 1 of Mr. Boxrud's "green sheet ".
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call
vote, motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 22 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
Resolution No. 23 - 90 Receiving Feasibility Report and
Calling Public Hearing on Brandywood Estates - Mr. Boxrud
explained that the improvements for Brandywood Estates are
straight forward. Both sewer and water extensions will come
east on Birch Street from Black Duck Drive. Item No. 5, page
Section 1 - 1 of the Report regarding costs of $140,120.00 to
be assigned to the trunk sewer and water fund of the City
were discussed. Mr. Boxrud explained this resulted because
no one will be assessed between Black Duck Drive and the
subdivision. When these areas develop, they will pick up
these costs. A question regarding how healthy the trun]c -
sewer and water fund is was raised. Council Member Reinert
was concerned about creating a problem in this fund in the
event that the housing market comes to a halt.
Council Member Neal addressed the park issue. Mr. Boxrud
explained that the park issue was addressed by the Far
Board. Either land will be purchased when the second base
is developed or cash will be given.
Council Member Reinert asked for projections relative o the
number of children per household and the number of ch. iren
per subdivision. He noted that he w.,uld like to look this
issue in terms of the police and fire departments as 1 as
the effect on the school district.
Mr. Steven Johnston, the engineer for the developer,
Fitzgerald addressed the Council. He expressed conce
because the trunk storm water policy was not in place
this subdivision was started. It appears that now ti
subdivision will receive an assessment for this impr
and he asked if it was necessary since all storm watt:
PAGE 9

ent

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 14, 1990
be controlled in the subdivision. Mr. Johnston noted that
this assessment will probably be paid and would, in effect,
offset some of the $140,120.00 deficit noted above.
Council Member Neal moved to approve Resolution No. 23 - 90
ordering the public hearing on the improvement and the public
hearing for the preliminary plat for June 11, 1990. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call vote,
motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 23 - 90 can he found at the end of these
minutes.
Resolution No. 24 - 90 Receiving Feasibility Report and
Calling Public Hearing on Pheasant Hills, Dan Boxrud - Mr.
Boxrud noted that the subdivision is similar to Brandywood
Estates. The preliminary plat has not been completed nor has
it received approval from the Design Review Board. Mr.
Boxrud explained that water service would come from Birch
Street and Black Duck Drive and sewer service would be
extended from the Centerville lift station. Mr. Boxrud
noted that $278,253.00 of improvement costs is being assigned
to the trunk sewer and water fund at this time. This
resulted because the services will be extended through areas
that are not expected to develop in the near future.
Council Member Reinert expressed concern regarding the
condition of the trunk sewer and water fund. He suggested
delaying action on this item until a report is received on
the fund.
Mr. Boxrud noted that this is not a typical subdivision. Lot
frontages exceed the minimum requirements and the costs of-
the homes are expected to start at about $225,000.00.
Improvement costs and assessments rates will be high.
Mr. Johnston told the Council that he plans to submit the
preliminary plat to the Staff on May 29, 1990.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 24 -
90 and set the improvement hearing. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried
with Council Member Kuether abstaining.
Resolution No. 24 - 90 can be found at the end of these
minutes.
Resolution No. 25 - 90 Receiving Feasibility Report and
Calling Public Hearing on PineRidge - Dan Boxrud - Mr. Boxrud
explained that the preliminary plat is based on an R -1 zoning
and since the Council has defeated the rezoning of the
property, the information contained in the feasibility report
is not appropriate. Mayor Bisel asked if any member of the
Council wished to reconsider the rezone of this property. No
PAGE 10

one asked that this platter be reconsidered.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS
Update on Pending Litigation - Mr. Hawkins updated the
Council on the matter regarding the attorney for the
Community Action Committee. This attorney has been ordered
to pay the initial judgement against her of $500.00 to the
City. She has agreed to pay this in installments. The
hearing was continued until all installments have been paid.
Mr. Hawkins expected the matter to be conclude upon payment
of all installments.

Update Regarding the Employee Computer Program - Mr.
Schumacher explained that eight (8) persons in the
Administration office are interested in participating in this
program. Mr. Schumacher recommended that the Council
:initiate the program on a trial bases and limit the number of
participants to no more than four (4). The participants
should be determined on a priority use basis. Concern was
expressed regarding an employee who would terminate their
employment and not have his /her unit paid for. Mr.
Schumacher explained that usually a terminating employee has
unused benefits that this money can be taken from.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the Employee Computer
Program Flan for four (4) units on a trial basis. Council
Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote,
motion carried with Council Members Reinert and Neal voting
no.
Consideration of Certain Employee Salary Adjustments, Randy
Schumacher - Mr. Schumacher explained that three part -tine
employees, Police Clerk, Senior Coordinator and Waste
Abatement Coordinator and two full -time employees, the
Administrator and the Clerk - Treasurer are considered in this
presentation. The Council had met in a work session a - - d
discussed these issues. Council Member Bohjanen moved to
approve the Administrators recommendation for all of te
above me;;tioned employees except the Administrator. C ncil
Member Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote; otion
carried unanimously.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve a 4% salary
for the City Administrator plus a 2% merit increase.
Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll call i..

Neither facility was available and all the Lino Lakes

noted that she had called the Duluth Convention Bureau and
the Radisson Hotel Duluth itself. There appears to be no way
of moving the Lino Delegation from the Park Inn.

Presentation of Concerns Regarding Warning Siren in the Area
of Deer Pass Trail - Mr. Schumacher explained to the Council
that a warning siren plan had been approved by the Council
about three (3) years ago. The City has been purchasing one
(1) siren per year and the VFW has been donating one (1)
siren per year since the plan was adopted. This plan will be
completed at the end of five (5) years. The location of the
sirens was determined by a panel of persons using the
criteria set out in the plan. A siren has been placed on
Deer Pass Trail and several residents have objected to the
location of the siren.
Mr. Charles Prokop, 2210 Deer Pass Trail presented a petition
signed by twelve (12) property owners along Deer Pass Trail
requesting that the siren be relocated. Several different
sites were suggested. Mr. Prokop expressed concern because
residents were not given a chance to voice their suggestions
regarding location of the siren. Their concerns are
appearance and the possibility of reducing property values.
Another resident on Deer Pass Trail said he would have liked
the opportunity to work with the Staff in locating the siren
where it would fit best and make it amenable to the area.
Mr. Volk said the siren was installed according to the plan
adopted by the Council. He noted that moving the siren any
significant distance would disturb the warning siren plan.
Mr. Schumacher asked if there is an estimate of the cost to
move the siren at this time. Mr. Prokop said he has checked
with NSP and they have estimated $400.00. Mr. Prokop said he
would be willing to pay the $400.00.
Mr. Scott Hedberg, 2207 Deer Pass Trail said that when he
sits in his living room and looks out the front window, all
he sees is the siren. He said he would be willing to pay for
some of the cost of moving the siren.
Mr. Volk explained that there has been protest from every
neighborhood where a warning siren has been placed. He
suggested that if the Council allows this siren to be moved,
many more requests will be coming.
The Council directed Staff to look at this particular
location and determine if there is a more suitable site on
public right -of -way. Council Member Neal said he would
survey the area with the Staff.

Economic Development Authority -- Mr. Schumacher explained
that if the Council is interested in participating in the
type of financing outlined by Mr. Fifield earlier in the
Council meeting, a public hearing must be set for the
creation of the Economic Development Authority. Council
Member Neal moved to set this public hearing for June 11,
1990 at 8:15 P.M. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 11:38 P.M.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Aye.
These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a
regular Council meeting held on May 29, 1990.
