SETTING THE AGENDA Council Member Kuether asked to move the February 14, 1994 Disbursements from the consent agenda to the beginning of the regular agenda. CONSENT AGENDA Council Member Neal moved to approve the consent agenda as amended. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. ITEM MINUTES: Regular Council Meeting, January 24, 1994 DISBURSEMENTS: January 31, 1994 PAGE 1 DISPOSITION Approved Approved 4? CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Centennial Fire Department Approved REGULAR AGENDA CONSIDERATION OF FEBRUARY 14, 1994 DISBURSEMENTS Council Member Kuether questioned the following disbursements: Dave Pecchia (Reimbursement Air Travel - J. Kenow) Mr. Schumacher explained that this disbursement is for tuition for the Crime Institute in Kentucky for CSO Jeannie Kennow. Chief Pecchia would like Ms. Kennow to have this training so that she can assist, from a crime prevention standpoint, in the planning and layout of commercial and industrial properties. Glenn Rehbein Excavating - Mr. Schumacher did not know what this disbursement was for and will get this information for Council Member Kuether. Gail Todora $384.00 - Mr. Schumacher explained that this prepares the Recreation Department Brochures. person Polich Frogner $297.50 - This firm provides professional support for the computer system. There had been a problem with a computer in the Recreation Department. ACCAP (CDBG Program) $1,206.42 - This is payment the salary of a senior outreach person for Lino Lakes. This is part of the designation for ACCAP for 1993. TIF, Anoka County - This a fee charged by the County for administrating the Lino Lakes TIF plans. Council Member Kuether had no further questions. Mr. Schumacher will forward to her the information regarding the disbursement to Glenn Rehbein Excavating. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the February 14, 1994 disbursement as presented. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OPEN MIKE Mike Stoltz, Assistant to the Anoka County Board, Waste Management Fee - Mr. Stoltz introduced himself and explained that he was here this evening to be a resource and provide information regarding a change in the manner the County funds the solid waste management program. The change is a result of a federal court ruling earlier this year which eliminated the County's ability to PAGE 2 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 designate that all garbage collected in Anoka County be brought to the Elk River facility. Anoka County has reduced the "tipping fee" at the Elk River facility in order to make that facility cost competitive with out-of-state landfills. This reduction to the haulers will be made up by collecting a Solid Waste Management Charge with the property tax bills. This new Charge to the landowners should be offset by a reduction in the hauler's charge to their customers because of the haulers reduced costs for disposal. It was noted that there is no way to guarantee that the haulers will reduce the rates they charge their customers. Mr. Stoltz explained that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners believe that the current method for solid waste disposal in Anoka County greatly minimizes the potential for SuperFund litigation in the future and its continuation is of major importance to all landowners. Council Member Kuether noted that now commercial accounts pay for garbage removal according to need and now it appears that they will be paying according to property value. She felt this could be excessive. Mr. Stoltz explained that this is the most equitable plan. However, a County wide study on commercial business will be conducted and if it appears that this method of paying the cost of removal is unfair it will be changed. Mayor Reinert told Mr. Stoltz that it seemed appropriate that the County send all haulers a statement that they are expected to reduce their customer rates. Mr. Stoltz explained that all haulers must sign a contract that contains a "good faith" clause. This clause states that the hauler must inform the landowner where his garbage is going and to make an attempt to lower the rates. The haulers know that the County is watching them and they also know that the public will be informed about the changes. The City Council thanked Mr. Stoltz for coming this evening. RESOLUTION NO. 94 - 02 APPROVING ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AND REPORTING GUIDELINES Mr. Schumacher explained that this matter has been discussed for more than a month at both the City Council work sessions and at the last City Council meeting. The purpose of the updated organizational chart and the corresponding guidelines is an effort to increase efficiencies, communications and to outline responsibilities. The only items that need approval at this time are the chart and reporting guidelines. Job descriptions, job PAGE 3 43 44 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 value points, and salary ranges will be prepared within the next couple of months and be brought forward for City Council approval. Mr. Schumacher explained that this is the first attempt at horizontal structuring and he felt it will good for the employees, management and the City. Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 02 Approving the Organizational Chart and the Reporting Guidelines. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 02 can be found at the end of these minutes. Council Member Bergeson moved to have specific job titles and job descriptions prepared for City Council approval within the next 90 days and to get a report on the implementation of this program at that same time. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Council Member Bergeson noted that education and college degrees are becoming more important for an individual to move ahead in his/her chosen profession. He asked staff to prepare a proposal that would show how the City could assist employees who want to move ahead into more responsible positions. Mr. Schumacher explained the present system of assisting employees through the normal budget system. He noted that the advanced training had to be related to the employees present job. Mayor Reinert said he thought advance training had always been available to employees who show initiative. Council MemberBergeson said he would withdraw his motion and bring a better worded motion back for City Council consideration. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT Variance, Side Yard Setback, 1049 Black Duck Court - Ms. Wyland explained that when the house at the above address was staked the survey was misread and it was assumed that the side setback was 10 feet because of an easement line shown on the plat. The easement line, however, was not 10 feet but five (5) feet. This request is for a variance to allow a home to be constructed six (6) feet from the side property line. The builder has secured a letter from the adjoining property owners indicating that they have no objections to the proposed request. The City Code provides for variances from the literal provisions of the ordinance in instances where strict enforcement would cause undo hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration. FINDINGS OF FACT: PAGE 4 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 1. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls. Staff feels it would be unreasonable to request that the builder remove the footings and locate the structure within the setback requirements. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created by the landowner. The property is unique due to a large drainage and utility easement on the property and the configuration of the lot itself which is located at the end of a cul-de-sac. In order to meet the 10 foot setback requirement, the home would have had to be located further back on the lot than the existing 30 feet thus encroaching on the rear easement - or moved further to the west thus increasing the angle of the driveway. 3. The hardship is not due to economic considerations alone when a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance. As described in Item #2, there is a hardship to the land in the configuration of the drainage easement. The single family home being constructed on the lot is a reasonable use of the property. 4. Granting a variance request will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that would be denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. The City considers similar requests on a case by case basis. 5. The proposed actions will not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood. The property in question is estimated to be valued at over $200,000.00. This value is consistent with other homes in the subdivision. 6. The proposed actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. The property is zoned R-1 Residential and single family use is intended for the area. The staff and the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the variance request. Council Member Elliott moved to approve the variance request as submitted subject to the six (6) findings of fact. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 02 - 94, LaMotte/Whitcomb Property - The City Council reviewed this item at the January 24, 1994 City Council meeting and approved the FIRST READING of PAGE 5 4) 4') CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Ordinance 02 - 94 rezoning a portion of property south of Birch Street, West of 12th Avenue and adjacent to Holly Drive from R-1 Residential to R -1X Executive Residential. Although this property is referred to as the LaMotte/Whitcomb property, there are other property owners affected by the proposed change in zoning. The staff and the Planning and Zoning Board recommend approval of the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 02 - 94. Council Member Neal asked if all the information requested by some residents in the area was given to them. Ms. Wyland explained that some residents were in the office and were given a summary of all the information available. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 02 - 94. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 02 - 94 can be found at the end of these minutes. SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 01 - 94, Rezone Pheasant Hills Preserve, Fifth Addition - Ms. Wyland explained that the City Council approved the FIRST READING of this ordinance and a preliminary plat plan for this subdivision at the January 24, 1994 City Council meeting. The proposed rezone would change the zoning on a specific parcel from PSP, Public, Semi -Public to R -1X Executive Residential. The staff and the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the rezone request. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 01 - 94 as presented. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 01 - 94 can be found at the end of these minutes. ENGINEER'S REPORT Consideration of Resolution No. 94 - 05 Re -Aligning Park Trail, Shores of Harshen Lake - Mr. Schneider used the overhead projector and showed the platted location of the proposed trail and the proposed re -alignment of the trail. The re -alignment change is being proposed by the developer, Jack Menkveld. The proposed change would move the trail closer to the lake. This proposal is supported by several residents along the trail. The entire trail will be constructed to City standards using a boardwalk type of trail where fill is not allowed due to the presence of wetlands. The developer will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate easements to accommodate the new alignment and will pay any additional costs generated by the PAGE 6 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 change. After the trail construction is complete on the new alignment, the original trail easements on Lots 4 through 12, Block 5 will be vacated. Mr. Schneider noted that not all homeowners in this block are entirely satisfied. The owners of Lot 12 (the Sternke's) want the trail walkway placed further away from their home and closer to the lake and also they do not want the trail placed on the lot line between Lots 12 and 13 as platted. Mr. Schneider suggested that the trail easement could be located on the north lot line of Lot 14 since this lot is not yet sold. Mrs. Sternke and Mrs. Houchins (owner of Lot 13) said that the proposed walkway was too close to their homes and they want the walkway relocated closer to the lake. Mayor Reinert asked why the walkway could not be placed at a different angle as shown by the "blue line". Mr. Menkveld explained that this change would create extra boardwalks which are costly to install and costly for the City to maintain. Mr. Menkveld noted that the owners of both Lots 12 and 13 purchased their lots with the full knowledge that a trail or walkway was to be placed as shown on the original map. Mr. Menkveld explained that the walkway can be constructed as originally planned, however, there would be less impact to the homeowners if the trail was re -aligned as now proposed. Council Member Kuether asked where the south end of the walkway ends. Mr. Menkveld said that it will connect to a similar walkway along the lake on the adjoining parcel when it is developed. Council Member Kuether asked if the walkway on Lots 12 and 13 can be placed further to the east and closer to the lake. Mr. Menkveld said yes, however, boardwalk would be required instead of asphalt. Council Member Neal asked if the owner of Lot 11 (Todd Nadeau) was aware of the proposed trailway. Mr. Nadeau explained he had purchased his lot from his builder and was told that the walkway would be placed about where the silt fence was currently placed. This information was not correct and the walkway will be much closer to his house. Mayor Reinert noted that the walkway has become a problem for the City Council to deal with because there was not full disclosure when individual lots were sold to home buyers. Mr. Schneider explained that he has brought this matter before the City Council this evening in an effort to keep the City Council out of the negotiation process. The resolution is appropriate in that the residents can be assured that once they have negotiated a re -alignment of the walkway with the developer, the City will vacate the existing easement. Also the City is saying in the resolution that it is alright to move the trail PAGE 7 4 ?1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 closer to the lake providing that the developer can secure the proper easement. Council Member Bergeson asked if the City Council approves the resolution, does the boardwalk have to go exactly were it is shown on the map. Mr. Schneider said the developer must meet the intent of the alignment as shown but some changes would be allowed. Council Member Bergeson asked if this matter could be tabled to allow for further information. Mr. Schneider explained that the Building Department is holding all building permits until this matter is resolved. Also the boardwalk must be constructed during the winter. Council Member Elliott noted that the City Council was never happy with the current walkway alignment and hoped this type of a situation would never be repeated. Another resident of Shores of Marshan Lake asked if the north end of the boardwalk could be moved to the east to reduce the sharp 90 degree angle. It was noted that this would create the need for additional boardwalk which is very expensive and also very expensive to maintain. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 05 and dispense with the reading. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 05 can be found at the end of these minutes. CONSIDERATION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ADVISORY BOARDS (EDAAB) RECOMMENDATION TO EXPAND THE MEMBERSHIP FROM FIVE (5) TO SEVEN (7) MEMBERS Mr. Wessel explained that currently the terms of all members expire on December 31, 1995. The EDAAB has approved a resolution that would provide a system for staggered terms to conform with other City boards to ensure that no more than one third of all board members will be up for reappointment at the same time. EDAAB is also considering expanding the board from five (5) to seven (7) voting members and two (2) non-voting members to allow greater community participation. Mr. Wessel read EDAAB Resolution No. 94 - 01. Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Wessel if two (2) new board members are appointed at this time, will their terms be three (3) year terms? Mr. Wessel explained their terms would expire December 31, 1995 and then the staggered term provision would be enacted. Council Member Elliott moved to approve EDAAB Resolution No. 94 - 01 to provide for three (3) year staggered terms for all EDAAB members. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAGE 8 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Council Member Elliott moved to approve EDAAB Resolution No. 94 - 02 expanding the EDAAB from five (5) to seven (7) voting members. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF THE 1994 ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS Mr. Schumacher explained that state statutes require that certain annual appointments be made by the City Council to include advisory board vacancies and liaison positions. The City Council has interviewed a number of candidates for advisory board vacancies. The names of these candidates, as well as persons wishing to be reappointed to advisory board positions, have been listed for the City Council to consider for the vacant advisory board positions. In addition, the City Council is required to appoint a legal newspaper. Several newspapers have submitted proposals for the City Council to consider. Mayor Reinert noted that the vacant positions have been advertised two (2) different times. Many qualified residents have been interviewed and during the interviews the City Council asked them if the City could keep their names on file in the event that another vacancy occurred. Planning and Zoning Board (2 three year terms open) - Council Member Elliott moved to reappoint James Schaps to a three (3) year term. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion.

However, Mayor Reinert has completed two (2) full terms on the committee and cannot be reappointed. Council Member Neal nominated Neal Benjamin to replace Mayor Reinert on the committee. Mr. Schumacher reminded the City Council that the Joint Powers Agreement requires that a current Council Member be appointed to the Steering Committee. Council Member Neal withdrew his nomination. Council Member Neal moved to appoint Council Member Kuether to the Steering Committee. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ways and Means Committee - Mayor Reinert explained that the City Council did not discuss this Committee. He said he had a problem with a two (2) member Committee and suggested that the full City Council serve as the ways and Means Committee and then at the end of 1994 discuss the matter again. Council Member Elliott said she felt it was a waste of staff time to present matters to the two (2) person Ways and Means Committee and then present the same material to the entire City Council. She said she felt it was a waste of the Ways and Means Committee time to sit through two (2) presentations. Council Member Elliott moved to appoint the entire City Council as the Ways and Means Committee. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Circle Pines Gas Utility Commission - It was noted that the Lino Lakes portion of the system had not grown sufficiently to add another Lino Lakes member to the Commission.

Motion carried CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 94 - 06 DESIGNATING THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING 1994/1995 Resolution No. 94 - 06 details the allocation of the 1994/1995 Community Development Block Grant funds. These are federal funds administered through Anoka County for which the City is able to distribute to local organizations or services. These organizations or services must generally provide assistance to the elderly, disabled or low income residents. Mayor Reinert noted that the City Council was concerned that the organizations requesting funding provide services to residents in Lino Lakes. It was determined that all organizations named in the resolution do serve Lino Lakes residents. PAGE 11 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 06 as presented. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 06 can be found at the end of these minutes. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING THE CITY'S PROGRAM ON WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS Mr. Schumacher explained that weight restrictions are placed on City streets during the spring thawing season to reduce damage to the streets. In the past, the City has issued overweight permits during this weight restriction period. The permit allowed the hauler to exceed the City posted restriction up to a maximum of five (5) tons per axle. After reviewing the practice of issuing permits, it has become apparent that some City streets are experiencing decreased life expectancies due to the heavier loads allowed during the spring thawing period. It is the intent of the City to design and build streets with a 15 to 20 year life expectancy. If the streets life expectancy is decreased, reconstruction of the street becomes necessary at an earlier than expected time table. The reconstruction is a cost that is normally assessed to abutting property owners. Therefore, it should be the responsibility of the City to take the necessary steps to protect the City streets so that the streets will not have to be reconstructed earlier than expected. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Public Works Department that permits not be issued that would exceed the posted weight restriction. This matter will be a topic of discussion at the Builders meeting on Friday. If approved by the City Council, this action will not be popular with the builders. It was noted that some City streets are constructed to a tougher standard and will be posted at five (5) ton per axle. Mrs. Scharpen from the audience asked how this would impact garbage trucks. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City must make exceptions for some vehicles that involve the health, welfare and safety of its citizens. Such vehicles as garbage trucks and school buses will be given special consideration. Council Member Kuether moved to eliminate the issuance of over weight permits as recommended by the Public Works Department. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PAGE 12 1 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 ATTORNEY'S REPORT Mr. Hawkins did not have a report FINANCE DEPARTMENT REPORT Mr. Schumacher explained that Resolution Nos. 94 - 07 through 94 - 12 are "house keeping" resolutions and should be approved prior to the annual audit.

Resolution No. 94 - 13 Authorizing the Issuance of 1994 Certificates of Indebtedness - The 1994 General Fund Budget called for the issuance of certificates of indebtedness of $150,000.00 to be used for capital outlay purchases. The Area PAGE 13 54 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 and Unit Fund has sufficient reserves to issue a loan to finance the capital outlay purchases. A special levy will pay for these certificates in 1995 and 1996 and the levy proceeds will be credited to the Area and Unit Fund. Equipment to be funded by the 1994 Certificates of Indebtedness include: - Computer Purchase - Ballfield Groomer - Fire Capital Outlay - (1) Patrol Vehicle - Electronic Engine Analyzer - (1) One ton mini dump/plow truck $25,100.00 $14,000.00 $59,400.00 $16,000.00 $10,500.00 $25,000.00 Total $150,000.00 Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 94 - 13. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 94 - 13 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Seeking Proposals for Depository for City Accounts - Currently, the City has a savings account and a checking account with the Firstar Bank Corporation in Lino Lakes. Since becoming a corporation, the bank no longer waves its banking fees. The Finance Department is recommending that proposals be obtained from other banking institutions in the area as well as the Firstar Bank. The City would be requesting proposals on banking items such as wire transfer of debt service and investment disbursements, cost of overdrafts, cost of checking and savings account deposit slips, general account services, pledge of collateral and in the amount required by State law and credit card service and applicable fees. Mr. Schumacher noted that staff makes on average two (2) trips per week to the bank. This would be taken into consideration when selecting a banking depository. Council Member Neal said he felt that the Police Department should be making all banking trips for the City. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the request to seek proposals for depository for the City accounts as proposed. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of an Agreement with White Bear Township for PAGE 14 1 1 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Finance Director Position - The City of Lino Lakes has been sharing a Finance Director with White Bear Township for approximately two (2) years. Mr. Schumacher proposed changing the language of the Joint Powers Agreement to make Lino Lakes the employer and contract financial services to White Bear Township. The purpose of the change is to give the City of Lino Lakes control over the number of hours worked while still maintaining a cooperative agreement with White Bear Township. Mr. Schumacher noted that the City of Lino Lakes now needs more services because of the loss of the Accounts Payable Clerk. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the revised Joint Powers Agreement as submitted. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AWARDING BIDS FOR THE SHORES OF MARSHAN LAKE PARK BUILDING REMODELING Bids have been accepted for the remodeling of the Shores of Marshan Lake Park building. Invitations to bid were published in the Quad Community Press and the Circulating Pines. Also plans and specifications were mailed to local contractors presently licensed with either the City or the State. Submission of bids closed February 11, 1994. General contractors were asked to itemize their bids to show the amounts of bids by their subcontractors. This was done to allow local subcontractors the opportunity to bid if they did not do so with a general contractor. There were two (2) general contractors who bid only on the general construction part of the project. These contractors bid on this basis because they knew that the City was receiving bids individually from mechanical and electrical contractors and might award individual bids to local contractors. A total of five (5) bids were received from general contractors. Three (3) additional bids were received from local mechanical and/or electrical contractors. A summation of the bids was presented to the City Council. A recommendation was made to award bids to the contractors with the low bid in each construction phase. Mayor Reinert noted that not all bidders were from Lino Lakes. He asked if the City Council approves all low bids, who will coordinate the work. Mr. Schumacher explained that Mr. Volk would be the coordinator. Council Member Elliott asked if anyone was familiar with general contractor, Clayton Asp Construction. No one knew this company. Mr. Racutt from the audience noted that some of the low bidders PAGE 15 56 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 recommended by Mr. Volk were his subcontractors and would not work for the City if he was not selected as the general contractor. He also noted that he was asked to bid the job as a whole but to identify each item separately. Mr. Racutt also noted an error in his bid. After further discussion on this matter, Council Member Elliott moved to table action on this item until the matter could be discussed with Mr. Volk. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Set Meeting with the City of Hugo for March 28, 1994 or March 30, 1994 - Mr. Schumacher explained that he had spoken with the Hugo City Administrator and these two (2) date are open for the Hugo City Council. He noted that March 28, 1994 is the regular Lino Lakes City Council meeting and suggested that the City Council set Wednesday, March 30, 1994 as the meeting date. Lino Lakes will host the meeting. Further information will be forwarded to the City Council when all arrangements have been completed. NEW BUSINESS Consideration of an Application for Authorization for Exemption from Lawful Gambling License, St. Joseph Catholic Church - Mrs. Anderson explained that the State of Minnesota allows non-profit organizations to file an application for Authorization for Exemption from Lawful Gambling License if the non-profit organization hold five (5) or fewer gambling occasions each year. St. Joseph Catholic Church holds three (3) gambling occasions each year; Easter, Summer Festival and Thanksgiving. St. Joseph Catholic Church is applying for an exemption for their Easter gambling occasion. There have been no reported problems or concerns with previous gambling occasions. Council Member Neal moved to approve the application for Authorization for Exemption from Lawful Gambling License for St. Joseph Catholic Church. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of an Application for a Gambling License for the National Ataxia Foundation - Mrs. Anderson explained that an application for a gambling license had been received from the National Ataxia Foundation. Included with the application is a copy of the proposed lease with Lee's of Lino Lakes and a diagram of where the gambling operation will be located. PAGE 16 1 1 1 CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 14, 1994 Until recently, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society operated pull tab gambling at Lee's of Lino Lakes. This organization did not renew its state license and its Lino Lakes license also expired. The Ataxia Foundation, like the Multiple Sclerosis Society, claims that all persons donating to their cause are members. Therefore, persons who live in Lino Lakes and who have donated to the Ataxia Foundation are current members. Because of this definition of members, the Ataxia Foundation has qualified for a gambling license in Lino Lakes. Council Member Kuether moved to approve the gambling license for the National Ataxia Foundation. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Anderson noted that since the Lino Lakes Gambling Ordinance does not define "member", organizations such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Ataxia Foundation will continue to secure gambling licenses in Lino Lakes and take most of their profits out of the community. Although these non-profit organizations are worthy organizations, the intent of the City Council, in enacting the Gambling Ordinance, was to see that as much of the gambling proceeds as possible benefit the citizens of Lino Lakes. Mrs. Anderson explained that she will be proposing an amendment to the current Gambling Ordinance which will define "member". The definition will be same definition that is included in the State Statutes dealing with lawful gambling Mrs. Anderson will bring a draft copy of the amendment to a future City Council work session for discussion.

Reinert, PAGE 18 1 1994 STATE OF THE CITY OUTLINE Introduction/Welcome The City of Lino Lakes, as an organization, is committed to providing the highest quality of service to its residents at the lowest possible cost. We began focusing on this basic principle in 1993 and will continue until this goal is met. The following is an outline of some of the steps we've taken, as well as those planned for 1994. We feel these steps will lead us to: Fostering a Sense of Community Providing Quality Service Determining what the residents want and expect from local government and meeting that expectation General Government * Americans with Disabilities Act compliance - have hired a part-time coordinator and will be establishing a committee to examine facilities and programs -designed to allow all members of the community to participate regardless of an individuals specific challenge (disability) * Established a Comment Line at city hall * Established a "What do you think" section in the newsletter * Restructuring - presently "flattening out" our organizational hierarchy which will eliminate overlapping of responsibilities - stream line our operations - clearly define duties and responsibilities - this is very common right now in the private sector * Litigation - Unfortunately a part of every municipality - More prevalent in growing communities such as our own - The City of Lino Lakes strictly enforces our rules relating to development for the protection of present and future residents. Some may find them too stringent thus lawsuits 5`) Page -2- *Litigation cont... - In every case that has gone to court however, the court has ruled on the side of the city upholding our actions - The courts are finding us fair and consistent * City plans to add a Charter Commission Liaison to the Economic Development Authority Advisory Board * A comprehensive Resident's Guides with information on everything from Cable TV to Waste Haulers were mailed out in late fall. The question arose about how to get this guide out to residents who have moved in since the mailing of this document. We have developed a program whereby police officers on patrol will stop by city hall and pick up a stack of new resident folders which will include among other items a residents guide, and each one addressed to a new member of the community. While on patrol, officers will personally drop off a packet, introduce themselves to the new homeowner and welcome them to the community. We see a number of public relations benefits to this program * We have adopted a two year dog license that will coincide with the dog's rabie vacation booster shot. The license will run for two years vs. one, thereby eliminating annual trips to city hall, as well as the "rush" on staff at the end of the year for renewals. Renewals will be spread out over the whole year. * City employees fostering sense of community - -Adopting a portion of Main Street -Friday is food shelf day - Dress casual and bring an item for the food shelf or money contribution -Staff is instructed that while they may not have all the answers, we will work with residents to find them * Expanded hours at city hall Building Department/Growth/Engineering * Lino Lakes was 7th fastest growing community in the metro area out of 142 cities * Median Household income - $45,578.00 * Persons per household - 3.25 1 Page -3-- * Number of household - 3848 * Estimated population - 12,506 (3848 household x 3.25 persons per household) * Median age - 29 * Owner occupied housing - 95% * 1993 Building Permits Issued - 380 1992 Building Permits Issued - 366 * 1993 Average home value -$108,000.00 1992 Average home value - $97,724.00 * Due to the fragile environment in Lino Lakes, and recent Wetland Legislation the City is developing carefully - Presently preparing * 1993 Subdivisions Country Lakes Estates Oaks of Lino Brandywood III Pheasant Hills III & IV Woods of Baldwin Lake Quail Ridge Apollo Meadows Park Grove Birchwood III 1994 Upcoming Subdivisions Willow Ponds Fox Trace Behm's Century Farms Pineridge II Pheasant Hills V Wenzel IV 58 Lots 9 Lots 33 Lots 32 Lots 15 Lots 40 Lots 42 Lots 80 Lots 34 Lots 15 TownHomes Preliminary Plat Preliminary Plat Final Plat Final Plat Final Plat Final Plat Final Plat Final Plat Final Plat Page -4- Economic Development * This department is critical to Lino Lakes development towards becoming a metro player in the commercial\industrial scene. * Presently, 90% of tax base is shouldered by residents - our priority is to change that. * Business Retention program created in 1993 - Surveys were mailed to 115 local businesses - 50% responded - follow up personal contact by EDAAB members was begun and will continue * Apollo Business Park - County owned Apollo Drive was completed 1993, arterials to be completed in 1994 * Welcome Accu -Tool to the community * The Construction Laborers' Education & Training Center located east of I -35E and County Rd 14 will be completed this spring * The Charter Commission amended the City Charter this past year and designated 3 Economic Development Districts.
