PLANS FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (TIF) DISTRICTS No. 1-1 AND 1-
2, BRIAN WESSEL
Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 6:35 P.M. Mr. Wessel explained that earlier
this evening the Economic Development Authority (EDA) adopted modified plans for
Tax Increment Financing Districts 1-1 (Rice Lake Estates) and 1-2 (Sunrise Meadows).
The purpose of this modification is to transfer funds within the district to reimburse the
City's service area fund for the dollars spent to fund the West Central Trunk project. The
purpose of the public hearing is to received public comment regarding the modification of
these TIF Plans.
There were no questions or comments from the City Council or the audience. Council
Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 6:37 P.M. Council Member Elliott

Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 186 Approving a Modified Program for
Development District No. 1 and Tax Increments Financing Plans for TIF Districts
No. 1-1 and 1-2 - Mr. Wessel explained that this resolution finds that development
occurring in TIF Districts 1-1 and 1-2 was made possible by infrastructure improvements
in the modified Plans and would not reasonably have occurred solely through private
investment. The modified Plans will reimburse the City for funds used to finance these
improvements.
Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 186. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 186 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 195 Authorizing Execution of Reimbursement
of Development Agreements - Mr. Wessel explained that the EDA entered into a series
of development agreements with businesses moving into the Apollo business Park. In
these agreements, the EDA has assumed revenue obligations on behalf of the City. There
has been no formal agreement between the City and the EDA for transferring funds from
the EDA to the City. This resolution states that the EDA agrees to repay its obligation
with interest to the City out of tax increment, as increment is received.
Mr. Batty, bond attorney for the City is recommending that these agreements be
approved.
Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 195. Council Member

CONSIDERATION OF THE ADOPTION OF THE CITY DRUG AND ALCOHOL
TESTING POLICY PER U. S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
REGULATIONS, 49 C.F.R. PART 382, DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch explained that a drug and alcohol testing policy was sent to the City Council in
their packets. This policy is mandated by the Federal Government. The policy requires
all public and private employers that have drivers who are required to carry a Commercial
Driver's License (CDL) put in place a random drug testing policy.
The policy for the City of Lino Lakes is one that has been modified based on an approved
model by several cities in the metro area. The policy meets all guidelines necessary to
comply with the federal legislation including random and reasonable suspicion drug and
alcohol testing.
Mr. Tesch will come before the City Council in January to request that the City enter into
a contract with Metro Test to administer the Lino Lakes testing policy. The City will be a
member of a consortium of metropolitan cities thereby pooling the Lino Lakes drivers
and realizing a significant reduction in costs.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the Drug and Alcohol Testing Policy for the
City of Lino Lakes. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.

Condominium project area.
As a result of the utility construction completed as part of the Wenzel Farms and Marshan
Shores developments, the sewer and water mains are readily accessible to serve the
petitioning property located at the northeast corner of Lake Drive and Aqua Lane. The
size, type and depths of the existing utilities are adequate to serve the property. OSM,
Inc. has studied the proposed improvements and has determined that the improvements
are feasible and should be constructed as proposed.

proposed to be through the collection of assessments levied against the benefiting
property.

Fund - Mr. Schumacher explained that the West Central Trunk sewer and water project
was completed in the late 1980's serving the areas of Rice Lake Estates and Sunrise
Meadows. Because of Charter restrictions, a bulk of the project was financed with area
and unit charges. As this is a qualifying expense under the State Statute Tax Increment
Financing laws, the City is requesting authorization to pay back the Area and Unit Fund.

CONSIDERATION OF THE COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR 1996 NON-
UNION EMPLOYEES
In 1995, the Lino Lakes City Council adopted a Pay Program which, per State Statute
listed employees, job value points and minimum and maximum salaries for employees.
This program was adopted for the following reasons:
- Pay Equity Requirements
- All other employee groups (49ers, Teamsters, and LLMA) already had step pay
programs. The three (3) existing pay programs were incorporated into the
overall Pay Program.
- Allows for equitable compensation administration.
PAGE 7

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 18,1995
- Existing employees as well as new hires know what to expect in terms of
salary potential.
The City Council has already adopted a cost of living adjustment to the Pay Program for
the 49ers and LLMA of 3%. Mr. Schumacher recommended that the City Council
approve a 3% cost of living adjustment (c.o.l.a) for non-union employees. In addition, he
recommended that non-union employees receiving satisfactory performance reviews
advance to their next step in the pay program. This would keep them in line with the
LLMA employees as well as the Teamsters and the 49ers.
Mr. Schumacher noted that this matter was discussed at several City Council work
sessions and recommended that the City Council adopt his recommendation.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve a 3% cost of living and step advancement for
employees with satisfactory performance evaluations. Council Member Neal seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of City Administrator Review and Compensation for 1996 - Mr.
Schumacher explained that at the October 14, 1995 Council work session, the City
Council reviewed the 1995 goals and accomplishments of the City and the City
Administrator. The areas included:
Finance
Community Development
Personnel
Labor Relations
Community Projects
Communications
The City Council also went through the feedback report on the Assessment of Leadership
Practices that Mr. Schumacher participated in earlier in 1995.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the satisfactory evaluation of the City
Administrator and advance him to the next step in the Pay Program. Council Member
Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
Update - Livable Communities Act - Ms. Wyland explained that because the City has
two (2) items pending before the Metropolitan Council, and favorable action on these
items is desired, staff is bringing this matter back for City Council consideration. Ms.
Wyland said she has looked at how development in this City may proceed in the next 12
months based on what has happened in the last 12 months. The City index was reviewed
and goals were considered that could feasibility be achieved within a one year time frame.
PAGE 8
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1995
The one-year goal is based on existing trends, considering the Marshan condominiums,
the senior cottages and the number of building permits that were issued in 1995.
In November, 1996 the City will be asked to again pass a resolution indicating its
willingness to participate in the Livable Communities Act. At that time, the City can opt
to participate or tell the Metropolitan Council that the City does not want to participate.
If the City decides to participate in 1996, the City will again be asked to renegotiate the
goals presented this evening since these proposed goals are only for one-year.
Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector and outlined the proposed goals for 1996 and
how these goals were prepared. She asked the City Council to adopt the one-year goals.
Ms. Wyland explained that the one-year goals represent what is taking place today. It
does not include any new subdivisions, and no rezoning. The only projected item is the
Apollo Meadows commercial site because there is some interest in the site.
Mayor Reinert asked if the senior cottages would qualify as affordable rental housing.
Mr. Schumacher explained that the senior cottages are a Minnesota Housing Finance
subsidized program and qualifies as affordable rental housing. Ms. Wyland explained
that it also qualifies as an alternative housing type.
Mayor Reinert said that it seems that the City is being held hostage because we have
some items pending before the Metropolitan Council. He suggested that the City ask the
Metropolitan Council to act on the items and if they are acted on in a favorable manner,
the City will act to participate in the Livable Communities Act.
Council Member Kuether said she was concerned about an item on the staff proposal
regarding non -single family detached rental units. Staff has suggested that 35% is an
acceptable level. Ms. Wyland said that this number can be reduced to whatever the City
Council feels comfortable with.
Mr. Schumacher said he felt that Metropolitan Council was not looking at acceptable
levels but was looking at municipalities participating in the program and getting into the
process of planning for housing needs. The legislature put this program together quickly
and it seems that they are not concerned about the numbers that are listed as goals. Ms.
Wyland said she was told by a staff person at the Metropolitan Council that the City
should use whatever number the City feels comfortable with.
Mayor Reinert said that a good discussion was held when this matter was previously
before the City Council. He said that rental units require certain services such as mass
transportation and the availability of shopping and medical services. He noted that Lino
Lakes probably never will have the mass transportation that is needed to move around the
rental population that is being suggested. Also the 20/20 Vision groups have reviewed
this matter and the feeling of this group appears to be that Lino Lakes is a community of
single family homes and would like to remain that way in the future. Mayor Reinert said
PAGE 9
1
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1995
that staff should tell the Metropolitan Council what the present community feels the
future of Lino Lakes should be and not what the Metropolitan Council thinks the City
should be.
Ms. Wyland suggested that the City present what is currently the situation as the goal for
1996. She explained that staff is anticipating that there will be fewer problems with the
items that the City has before Metropolitan Council if the City Council adopts a one-year
plan. Ms. Wyland noted that all Anoka County communities except Circle Pines and
Andover have elected to be a part of the Livability Communities Act. All of the
communities participating in the Livability Communities Act have submitted their goals
except for the City of Anoka and the City of Centerville who will be doing so next week.
Mayor Reinert said that if this City elects to become a higher density community, then
the City Council will have to consider the effects of this population on the services
provided by the City. He felt that these types of concerns needed to be addressed before
any goals could be set.
Council Member Bergeson said that 1.8 units per acre for R-1 or R -1X zoned properties
may be typical of what is happening at this time. However, all of the easiest parcels to
develop have been developed. Some of the parcels that remain probably have not been
developed because of wetland restrictions and other development obstacles. Council
Member Bergeson felt that the 1.8 units per acre may not be realized out of these
"troubled" parcels of property. He said he would like to see goals set that take into
consideration some of the problems of development that do exist.
Ms. Wyland said that the 1.8 units per acre already addresses some of these concerns,
however the goal could be set a 1.2 or some other number.
Mayor Reinert said that it appears that the City Council is saying that the City should be
conservative when preparing the goals. Council Member Bergeson said that he felt that if
the City continues with the program and submitted to Metropolitan Council numbers that
were less than the numbers for the first year, the City would have to explain the
difference. He felt that the City should be conservative with the initial goals because
once this program is started, it will probably be continued.
The goals suggested by the City Council are as follows:
Single Family Detached Homes 1.2/acre
Rental 10%
Affordability Rental 23%
Council Member Bergeson asked if staff was aware of what other communities have
presented as their goals. Ms. Wyland said that she did not have this information.
Council Member Bergeson asked if Mr. Wessel had any comments about this matter. Mr.
PAGE 10
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1995
Wessel said he felt that this is an awkward time. Many of the things are ultimately based
on the comprehensive plan update including a transportation plan. This process is
lengthily and has to be done very well. If the City begins this process in January, 1996, it
probably will not be completed until midyear, 1997. This interim period will be busy
dealing with issues of MUSA and the land exchange. January, 1996 is an important
month for the land exchange. Four (4) meetings have been scheduled to go through the
process. The City has made a statement that it is willing to explore the Livable
Communities Act. Mr. Wessel said that he would have no problem with a very
conservative set of goals. He felt that this is and will be an ongoing period of negotiation
and exploration.
Mr. Schumacher said that he did not see any advantage in presenting high goals. It
appears that all Metropolitan Council is looking for at this time is participation in the
Livable Communities Act program. Mr. Schumacher noted that the City has participated
in all of the programs of the Metropolitan Council to date. If the City does not find any
benefit to participating in all these programs (positive approval of items pending before
the Metropolitan Council), the City should put a hold on all of the programs that the City
Council has approved and start negotiating with Metropolitan Council.
Mayor Reinert asked if the Metropolitan Council is aware of the 20/20 Vision project and
the large involvement of this community. Mr. Wessel explained that this is stressed
every time he meets with them.
Council Member Elliott moved to present the following goals to the Metropolitan
Council with the note that these are one-year goals;
Affordability
Ownership
Rental
Life -Cycle
Type (Non -single family
detached)
Owner/rental Mix
Density

Hawkins noted that this item contains some subject matter that is confidential and non-
public and suggested that the City Council merely consideration of Resolution No. 95 -

Mayor Reinert's Statement - Mayor Reinert noted that this is his final meeting after 14
years serving as Council Member and Mayor. He also noted that he has lived in the City
for 20 years and has seen many changes. Lino Lakes has offered many amenities to his
family and to the many families who have sought a home here. Mayor Reinert said that
the City Council has heard many times, "close the door after we get here because we do
not want any more people here". That does not work. The City Council has, over the
years, looked at what the City should be and what they thought it should be. For the most
part, the City Council has done a good job. They have set the stage for the future that is
going to make this community well recognized and well thought of and will continue to
be desirous to live in.
Mayor Reinert said that it has been a privilege to work as a member of the City Council
over the years. He expressed his gratitude for the support of the electorate of the
community. He is pleased that they felt that he had something to offer and have kept him
in office for many years.
Mayor Reinert thanked his family, especially his wife, the staff, past and present Council
Members, and the City Administrator. He felt that many good things have been put in
place during the past 14 years. He noted that nobody does anything alone, it takes a team
effort. Mayor Reinert said he felt that there is a team working for the community.
Mayor Reinert said that he would be keeping in touch and seeing everyone from time to
time.
Vi Hagstrom, Snowmobiles - Ms. Hagstrom, 926 Birch Lane said that she has a concern
with the snowmobilers running over her property and making it difficult for her to get
onto Lake Drive. Mayor Reinert introduced her to Sergeant Hammes and explained that
he will meet with Ms. Hagstrom to help alleviate her concern.
Council Member Linda Elliott's Statement - Council Member Elliott said that Mayor
Reinert said most of what she wanted to say. She thanked her husband, family and
neighbors and staff for supporting her the past four (4) years. Council Member Elliott
said she felt that the City Council has worked together very well even when there was a
PAGE 12
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 18, 1995
disagreement. She thanked Mr. Schumacher and City staff and noted that they have been
professional, fun and always real quick to respond. Council Member Elliott thanked the
voters for giving her a chance to serve on the City Council.
Council Member Kuether noted that a reception for Mayor Reinert and Council Member
Elliott will be held following this meeting at the Blaine American Legion Club on
Flowerfield in Blaine.
Mayor Reinert introduced his oldest grandson Dan and asked him to gavel the end of the
meeting.
Council Member Elliott moved to adjourn at 7:43 P.M. Council Member Kuether
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION 95-186
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFIED TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLANS FOR
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NOS. 1-1 AND 1-2
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes (the "City") established Development
District No. 1 ("Development District") and Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1 ("TIF
District No. 1-1") on January 26, 1987.
1.02. The City established Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-2 ("TIF District No.
1-2") on December 27, 1988.
1.03. The City established the Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority (the
"Authority") in 1990 and transferred authority for the Development District and TIF District Nos.
1-1 and 1-2 to the Authority.
1.04. In the past the Development District Program (the "Program") and the TIF Plans
have been modified to assist improvements within the Development District pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.171 through 469.179 (the "TIF Act") and sections 469.124
through 469.134 (the "City Development District Act").
1.05. It is proposed that the Plans for TIF District Nos. 1-1 and 1-2 again be modified in
order to authorize reimbursement to the city for past expenditures for infrastructure
improvements.
1.06. The Authority and the City have authorized preparation of a modified Program and
TIF Plans which are contained in documents entitled "Modified Tax Increment Financing Plan,
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-1" and "Modified Tax Increment Financing Plan, Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-2, dated December 18, 1995 and of file with the Authority.
1.07. Copies; of the Plans have been forwarded to Independent School District No. 12 and
Anoka County along with a notice of a public hearing to be held by the City on December 18,

1.08. The Authority has adopted the modified Plans and referred them to the City for
public hearing and consideration as provided by the TIF Act and the City Development District
Act.
1.09. The City has fully reviewed the contents of the modified Plans and has on this date
conducted a public hearing thereon at which the views of all interested persons were heard.
Section 2. Findings; Modification of Plans
2.01. It is found and determined that it is necessary and desirable to the sound and orderly
development and redevelopment of Tax Increment Financing District Nos. 1-1 and 1-2 and the
City as a whole, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and general
welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by the Authority and the City to provide
public financial assistance.
2.02. It is further found and determined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City, that the
development which has occurred within the TIF District Nos. 1-1 and 1-2 which was made
possible by major infrastructure improvements in the modified Plans would not reasonable have
been expected to occur solely through private investment and that therefore the use of tax
increment financing was necessary.
2.03. The modified Plans conform to the general plan for development of the City as a
whole.
2.04. The public assistance to be financed largely through tax increment financing in the
form of a reimbursement to the City for funds previously spent on infrastructure improvements
were necessary to permit the City to realize the full potential of Tax Increment Financing District
Nos. 1-1 and 1-2 in terms of development intensity, employment opportunities and tax base.
2.05. The modified Plans will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the area by private enterprise.
Section 3. Approval of Modification; Filing
3.01. The modified Plans are hereby approved. The modified Plans incorporate by
reference the original Plans and all subsequent modifications except as these modified Plans
explicitly or by reasonable necessary implication conflicts with the original Plans for previous
modifications:
3.02. The geographic boundaries of Tax Increment Financing District Nos. 1-1 and 1-2
are not affected by this modification and are as described in the original Plans.
3.03. The Authority is requested to file a copy of the modified Plans with the Minnesota
commissioner of revenue as required by the TIF Act.
3.04. The clerk -treasurer is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this
resolution to the Authority.
