6:30 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
(CDBG) APPLICATIONS, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 6:35 P.M. Mr.
Schumacher explained that the City will receive $37,601.00 in
CDBG funds for 1995/1996. This money is to be used to benefit
low and moderate income residents. The purpose of the public
hearing is to receive comments and requests for the use of the
funds. Mr. Schumacher noted that a number of written requests
have been received including some new programs. The City Council
will take comments this evening, review the written material and
then make their decision at the February 13, 1995 regular Council
meeting.
Cathy Wiedmann, Coordinator of Senior Programs and Volunteers,
Anoka County Community Action Program, Inc. (Request,
$3,637.00) - Ms. Wiedmann thanked the City Council for their
support of the senior outreach worker in Lino Lakes and the
extension of residual funds last month. This indicates that the
City Council is committed to the welfare of vulnerable isolated
residents. The purpose of the Outreach Program is to link
seniors and older/disabled adults with services that help them
remain in their homes. The outreach worker becomes an advocate
or case worker that helps these residents access basic services
such as food and heat.
Ms. Wiedmann explained that the program is cost effective since
it allows seniors and disabled adults to remain in their homes
and not relocate to costly hospitals or nursing homes. In the
past the energy assistance funds were used to supplement the CDBG
funds, however, it appears that this funding is in jeopardy. Ms.

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
Wiedmann asked that this information be considered when the City
Council makes it final funding determination. She encouraged the
City Council to support this program.
Jesse Ellingworth, North Suburban Consumer Advocates for the
Handicapped, Inc. (NSCAH), (Request, $1,500.00) - Mr. Ellingworth
explained that he taught school in the Anoka Hennepin School
District and recently retired. He is active in disability issues
such transportation, architectural barriers and housing. Mr.
Ellingworth explained that he is currently working with an
attitude awareness program. This program was started in the Coon
Rapids Elementary Schools and was funded through a grant from the
City of Coon Rapids. The program was an attempt to change
attitudes toward persons with disabilities by bringing disabled
persons to the classroom for interaction with the students. The
program focused on fourth grade students.
Mr. Ellingworth explained that NSCAH would like to expand this
program into other elementary schools. Mr. Kelly, principal of
Rice Lake Elementary School was very excited about the program
and hoped that a grant could be secured so that the program could
be presented there. The principal of the Lino Lakes Elementary
School is also interested and asked for further information.
Mr. Ellingworth introduced Mr. Erling Fugelso the Coordinator of
the Program and Lyle Frerichs, the Lino Lakes Representative to
NSCAH. Mr. Fugelso explained that he contacts the schools and
distributes the Friends Who Care curriculum kit which is
published by the Easter Seal Foundation and the Ronald McDonald
House. A special attempt is being made to make educators aware
of NSCAH's desire to help develop awareness among non -handicapped
children about others who do have handicaps.
Council Member Bergeson asked if any funding for this program
comes from the school district. Mr. Fugelso said no, only from
the City of Coon Rapids and that is why the program was limited
to the Coon Rapids elementary schools.
Council Member Neal said he was not aware of what is being done
in the schools. Mr. Fugelso explained the Friends Who Care
curriculum which helps children understand the limitations of
persons with handicaps.
Council Member Neal asked if Mr. Ellingworth had any problems
getting into City Hall. Mr. Ellingworth said that it was
slippery at the beginning of the ramp and he had help. He noted
that the City Hall receptionist had told him that she can get in
and out without problem.

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
Mr. Frerichs noted that he does live in Lino Lakes and his
children attend the Lino Lakes Elementary School. They have
taken him to the Lino Lakes Elementary School for show and tell
to talk about his experiences with the classes. However, he felt
that a structured curriculum would improve the message to the
children.
Mayor Reinert thanked NSCAH for their presentation.
Forest Lake Youth Service Bureau (YSB), (Request $2,000.00) - Mr.
Steve Onell, Chair of the Board of Directors presented a full
packet of information for the City Council to review. He briefly
reviewed the packet information.
Mr. Onell explained that in 1994, the YSB provided 1000 hours of
direct service to approximately 300 youth and their families that
live in the Lino Lakes area. The services included counseling,
services, intervention services, services at the school, services
through the violence prevention grant that the YSB receives
through the Forest Lake School District, programs offered in the
schools such as Dream Esteem and Be a Buddy.
The cost of the 1000 hours of service cost approximately
$25,000.00. Mr. Onell indicated that the YSB has not had a
financial relationship with the City of Lino Lakes for the past
several years. He felt that this was unusual since all of the
other cities and townships within the Forest Lake Schools have a
financial relationship. Mr. Onell emphasized that these are not
volunteer services such as provided by Boy Scouts and other such
units. If a person or family needs the service of the YSB, they
can come and obtain the service at a cost based upon their
financial situation. The YSB services are supported by the Youth
Intervention and Prevention Program and funding through the
Counties and other funding sources come from cities and
townships.
Mr. Onell noted that the legislation and funding that provide for
the youth service bureaus comes from the State to the youth
intervention and prevention programs. These programs are
community based and are proven and effective in addressing
problems of youth today. The YSB is a community based program,
funding and services stay within the community and most of the
dollars go to direct service for youth and not a fancy building
or high administration costs.
Several years ago it was determined that the YSB was outgrowing
its space. Rather than purchasing a larger building or
expanding, the staff was moved out to provide services in the
schools and to a building provided by the county or local
PAGE 4

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
municipality. Staff may be in the office for a short period of
time but primarily live out of boxes and the boxes are taken to
wherever the program is provided.
The community based programs such as the YSB help youth to remain
living with their families and not in correctional institutions,
foster homes, residential treatment and chemical abuse
facilities. The YSB services are not correctional but are
preventative and diversionary in nature. Mr. Onell detailed the
cost saving of the preventative and diversionary services offered
by youth service bureaus as opposed to correctional facilities,
foster homes and other such institutions.
Mr. Onell explained that since funding for the youth intervention
programs is funded in part by the State and all programs such as
the YSB must obtain a two (2) to one (1) funding match from local
sources. He said that is why the YSB is making the request for
CDBG funding. Mr. Onell noted all of the services provided by
the YSB and explained that when a child needs the service of the
YSB, that child is not denied service because the local
municipality did not provide funding. Services will continued to
be provided for all youth and their families and the YSB will
continue to seek a funding partnership with the City of Lino
Lakes.
Mr. Onell invited the City Council to the YSB annual meeting on
February 16, 1995 and to their building in Forest Lake.
The YSB director Barb Swanson was present to answer further
question. There were no questions and Mayor Reinert thanked Mr.
Onell for his presentation.
Rise, Inc. (Requesting $1,000.00) - Mr. John Barrett explained
that Rise, Inc. is the only rehabilitation company operating in
Anoka County. Rise, Inc. serves severely disabled persons. The
goal of Rise, Inc. is to move these persons into a job situation.
Transportation is provided for the majority of people in training
or who are employed. Transportation is provided for
approximately 250 persons on a daily basis. Many disabled
persons are transported by Metro Mobility, Anoka Traveler and car
pools. However, these services do not cover all of Anoka County.
Rise, Inc. is specifically requesting $1,000.00 from the Lino
Lakes CDBG to help match a grant that has been provided through
the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The grant was
approved for the purchase of two (2) vehicles at a cost of
$84,000.00. Rise, Inc. must secure $16,800.00 in matching funds.
Mr. Barrett thanked the City Council for their previous support
PAGE 5

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
and said that Rise, Inc. would appreciate whatever the City
Council could provide for this project.
Meals on Wheels (Requesting $2,873.00) - Maggi Novak, Program
Director explained that her organization serves, Lino Lakes,
Centerville, Lexington, Circle Pines and a part of the City of
Blaine. Meals on Wheels is one of the programs that provide for
basic needs for seniors and some handicapped persons under 60
years of age.
Ms. Novak explained that CDBG funding for this program is
received from other cities and because of the large increase in
the number of meals requested in this area, had to look for
support from other sources. She explained that in 1994, the need
for the services increased 12%. In 1990, in Lino Lakes, only two
(2) people were served by Meals on Wheels. Now they are serving
27 in Lino Lakes and receiving more requests every day. Lino
Lakes is a rapidly growing area with senior citizens in need of
this basic service.
Ms. Novak brought additional information for the City Council to
review. She also noted that according to the 1990 census, Anoka
County has the fastest growing senior population in the
metropolitan area.
Council Member Neal asked if the senior citizen housing proposed
for Lino Lakes would be served by Meals on Wheels. Ms. Novak
explained that there has to be a need such as a mental or
physical handicap that keeps that person from being able to
prepare their own meals. The money will be used specifically to
pay the coordinator of the program at St. Joseph Catholic Church.
She also noted that federal funding has been cut drastically in
the past few years. Ms. Novak also noted that she does receive
some funding from the Lions Clubs and also some private funding.
Persons receiving the meals must pay according to the ability.
No one is ever turned away because they cannot pay.
Alexandra House, Inc, (Requesting $5,000.00) - Ms. Pat
Prinzevalle, Executive Director of Alexandra House, Inc. asked
for funding to provide intervention services in Lino Lakes. She
noted that intervention services are provided for many
surrounding cities and said that Alexandra House would be excited
to provide these services to Lino Lakes as well. She thank the
Council for their past support and asked that questions be
directed to Connie Moore, Community Programs Director.
Council Member Neal noted that Alexandra House has moved and
asked who is occupying the previous house. Ms. Prinzevalle
explained that a program for youth will be operated from that
PAGE 6

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
house. He noted that when Alexandra House was closer to Lino
Lakes, the Lions Club did help with some funding.
Ms. Moore explained since Alexandra House is funded to serve only
the communities listed by Ms. Prinzevalle, additional funding
would be needed to offer intervention services to Lino Lakes.
Ms. Moore explained that Alexandra House works closely with the
Police Department and prosecuting attorneys in cases where there
has been an arrest or a citation issued. She also explained that
Alexandra House works with the victim to help them through the
criminal court process as well as providing them information
about other legal options.
Mayor Reinert asked if Lino Lakes had been served with
intervention services in the past. Ms. Moore explained that Lino
Lakes has been provided services such as shelter service, some
community advocacy services like filing orders for protection.
Ms. Prinzevalle explained that emergency and non -emergency
serviced 32 women and children in the City of Lino Lakes in 1994.
Mayor Reinert thanked Ms. Moore and Ms. Prinzevalle for their
presentation.
Mr. Schumacher explained that the Community Emergency Assistance
Program has also made a request for $1,000.00.00. Their
representative called and explained that due to illness they
would not have anyone at this meeting. They have provided
written material for the City Council to review.
Council Member Elliott moved to close the public hearing at 7:12
P.M. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
The City Council will consider the requests for CDBG funding and
take action at a future meeting. All organizations requesting
funding will be notified by letter of the action taken by the
City Council.
CONSIDERATION OF PROMOTION TO THE POLICE SERGEANTS POSITIONS,
CHIEF DAVID PECCHIA
Chief Pecchia explained that the Lino Lakes Police Department is
currently without a sergeant creating an increasing workload for
himself even though as many issues as possible are being
delegated to employees in the Department. The appointment of two
(2) sergeants would allow greater supervisory coverage for the
patrol shift with the sergeants working a combination night power
shift (7:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M.) and a day power/night power shift
PAGE 7
COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 23, 1995
variation. The scheduling would be flexible to address the
training needs of the probationary sergeants, the needs of the
Department and the community.
Chief Pecchia recommended that Officer Steve Mortenson and
Officer Bill Hammes be promoted to the sergeants positions. He
gave a detailed outline of their education, police work
experience, community involvement and their attitude toward the
community policing concept.
Chief Pecchia explained that the promotion of Officer Mortenson
and Officer Hammes demonstrates a commitment to the professional
and ethical future of the Lino Lakes Police Department and this
City. He felt that these two (2) officers are the leaders of the
Department and they currently possess the intelligence, ethics
and skills necessary to serve the citizens of Lino Lakes very
well. Through their positive attitudes, continual loyalty to the
City and its citizens, they will meet and exceed the very high
expectations of them.
Chief Pecchia noted that the former sergeant resigned this
position effective December 31, 1994. The position has been
included in the 1995 budget. He noted that the former sergeant
was a long time employee of the Department and would have earned
$48,892.00 in 1995. The recommended starting salary for each of
the newly appointed sergeants would be $43,768.00. Chief Pecchia
detailed how appointing Officer Mortenson and Officer Hammes
would save the Department $2,828.00 over what had been budgeted
for the one position. He also explained that $3,500.00 is
included in the 1995 Budget additional testing of candidates for
these positions. Since Officer Mortenson and Officer Hammes do
not need further testing, the $3,500.00 can be used for salary
purposes. Therefore, both positions can be approved without
increasing the 1995 budget.
Council Member Bergeson asked if each officer will be exploring
continuing education. Chief Pecchia said that they both will
continue their education.
Chief Pecchia recommended that Officer Mortenson be promoted
effective February 1, 1995 and Officer Hammes be promoted
February 2, 1995. This timetable is necessary in case seniority
becomes an issue.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the promotions of Officer
Mortenson effective February 1, 1995 and Officer Hammes effective
February 2, 1995 to sergeant. Council Member Neal seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 95 - 06 ACCEPTING DONATION FROM
THE CIRCLE -LEX VFW, POST #6583 FOR THE D.A.R.E. PROGRAM, CHIEF
PECCHIA
Chief Pecchia explained that commencing in 1995, the Lino Lakes
Police Department began teaching the D.A.R.E. Program in the
local elementary schools. The goal of the Lino Lakes Police
Department is to ensure that the D.A.R.E. Program will become
totally funded through donations from the community. The Circle -
Lex VFW, Post #6583 is aware of this goal and has donated
$8,000.00 toward the cost of administering the program in the
local elementary schools. The purpose of Resolution No. 95 - 06
is to publicly thank the Circle -Lex VFW, Post #6583 for their
very generous donation.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 06
thanking the Circle -Lex VFW, Post #6583 for their donation.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 06 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSAL FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICE AT CITY HALL,
JACKIE CONSTANT
Ms. Constant explained that BFI Waste Systems currently provides
recycling services to the City Hall and Waste Management - Blaine
provides the solid waste removal. She requested quotations from
all licensed haulers in Lino Lakes for City Hall services in an
effort to provide service at a reasonable cost and eliminate the
need for two (2) haulers to come to City Hall each week.
BFI Waste Systems proposed the lowest cost for both services.
They will not charge a fee for recycling pickup which will save
an average of $49.00 per month. The overall savings for the year
will be $1,200.00.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Ms. Constants
recommendation that BFI Waste Systems provide recycling and solid
waste removal services at City Hall. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND
Consideration of a Minor Subdivision, Steve and Deanna Haeg, 171,
White Pine Road - Ms. Wyland explained that in May, 1993, the
City Council approved a subdivision to split a 90 foot by 137
foot lot from an existing 15 acre parcel. Since that time a home
has been constructed on the new lot and the buyers would like to
PAGE 9
9'
COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
purchase an additional 40 feet of property from the Haegs.
The property is zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) and is
provided with utilities. The proposed subdivision would add a 40
foot by 90 foot piece of property to the existing lot for a total
of 15,930 square feet in area. The new lot would then be 90 feet
by 177 feet.
Staff has reviewed the request and is recommending approval of
the request with the condition that Park Dedication be waived. A
Park fee was collected with the original subdivision approval.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request and also
recommended approval as submitted.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the minor subdivision
request as submitted. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of a Minor Subdivision, K -G Development, 84 White
Pine Road - Ms. Wyland explained that the City Council previously
granted preliminary approval to a plat for the Woods of Baldwin
Lake, Second Addition in October, 1994. Since that time, Mr.
Goertz, the developer, has sold an existing home on the property
and would like to close on the sale prior to approval of the
final plat. To facilitate this closing, a minor subdivision is
necessary to split the existing homesite from the balance of the
plat.
The property is zoned Single Family Executive (R -1X) and is
located within the MUSA boundary. The property will be served by
sewer and water utilities in the spring along with the balance of
the plat. The proposed lot meets all requirements for lot width,
depth and square foot area. The existing garage on the site will
be removed in the spring since the rear lot line will go through
the garage. A new garage will be constructed in the near future.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request and concurred
with staff in recommending approval of the minor subdivision with
the following conditions:
1. The newly created lot be made a part of the final plat for
the Woods of Baldwin Lake, Second Addition.
2. Part Dedication for this lot be included in the overall plat
for the Woods of Baldwin Lake, Second Addition.
3. Utilities be provided, and assessments collected, as part of
the Woods of Baldwin Lake, Second Addition.
PAGE 10

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
The developer has expressed concern regarding the first
condition. He is anticipating problems with his mortgage company
and banker regarding the financing of improvements in the new
plat. If this lot is included in the final plat the new owner
would be required to sign the final plat document and possibly be
a part of the financing arrangements. Although the purpose in
proposing condition No. 1 was to provide a "clean" legal
description ie. Lot 1, Block 1, approval of this condition could
adversely affect the developer's financing of the utilities.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the minor subdivision as
submitted with conditions No. 2 and No. 3 only. Council Member
Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
The developer, Mr. Rocky Goertz was in the audience and asked for
clarification. He noted that the subdivided property will be
financed by a VA mortgage and requiring the lot to be a part of
the plan would cause many problems. It was explained that the
City Council approved the subdivision without the requirement
that the lot be part of the plat.
CONSIDERATION OF HENNEPIN COUNTY TRUCK BIDS, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher explained that a one (1) ton utility truck for the
Sewer and Water Department was budgeted for 1995. The City has
bid this vehicle through the Hennepin County Purchasing Division.
Two (2) bids were received by the Hennepin County Purchasing
Division for the one (1) ton truck cab and chassis. The first
bid was from Polar Chevrolet for $16,390.00 and the other bid was
from Iten Chevrolet for $16,587.00. Hennepin County Purchasing
Division awarded the bid to Thane Hawkins/Polar Chevrolet, Inc.
for $16,390.00.
Mr. Schumacher noted that bids are about 10% to 15% higher than
in 1994. He also noted that since these bids are for cab and
chassis only, he will be returning to the City Council with bids
for the utility box and equipment. Those bids are anticipated to
be approximately $11,000.00.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the purchase of a one (1)
ton truck cab and chassis through the Hennepin County Purchasing
Division from Thane Hawkins/Polar Chevrolet, Inc. for $16,390.00.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Schumacher was asked if an existing vehicle would be traded
in on the new truck. Mr. Schumacher said no, the Public Works
Superintendent normally places out dated vehicles on the Hennepin
County auction.

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
Mr. Schumacher explained that a new dump truck to replace the
1980 dump truck was budgeted in 1995. The City has also bid this
vehicle through the Hennepin County Purchasing Division. Two (2)
bids were received by the Hennepin County Purchasing Division.
The first bid is from Boyer Ford Truck, Inc. for $43,648.00 and
the second bid is from Lakeland Ford Truck Sales for $43,241.00.
Hennepin County Purchasing Division awarded the bid to Lakeland
Ford Truck Sales. These bids are also about 10% to 15% higher
than last year.
These bids are for cab and chassis only. Bids for the dump box,
snow plowing equipment and hydraulic equipment will be brought to
the City Council at a later date.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the purchase of a dump
truck cab and chassis from Lakeland Ford Truck Sale. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF THE YEAR END BUILDING REPORT, PETE KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel explained that in 1994 building activity in Lino
Lakes consisted of 566 total building permits for a valuation
of$26,713,028.00. A total of 217 new homes including 20
townhouse units were constructed in 1994. This represents a
decrease of 158 new homes from the previous year. The average
construction cost of a single family dwelling was $11,253.00.
Non-residential building consisted of the commercial construction
of the U -DOR building for $168,000.00 which was completed in the
Apollo Business Park. In addition, the Minnesota Correctional
Facility remodeled and constructed additional projects which
totaled $800,000.00.
The Building Department has increased the plumbing and heating
fees effective January 1, 1995. These fees compare favorably
with surrounding communities. Handouts have been prepared for
the public to better illustrate code requirements for decks, re -
roof projects, guardrails and stairs. Building Department
information for the public will be published in the City
quarterly newsletter in the coming year.
A joint powers agreement with White Bear Township for shared
services on an as needed basis has been implemented for 1995.
Mr. Kluegel anticipated construction activity in 1995 to equal
that which was experienced by the City in 1994. Townhouse demand
in Wenzel Farms and single family development in Pheasant Hills
Preserve, Fifth and Sixth Additions, Fox Trace, Oaks of Lino,
Pine Ridge, Second and Third Additions, Baldwin Lakes Estates,
PAGE 12

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
Second Addition and Country Lakes Estates will accommodate the
new housing starts.
Mr. Kluegel presented a bar -graph handout to the City Council
depicting the single family house construction for the past 23
years. He noted that the handout was for informational purposes
only. The bar -graph indicates the effect high interest rates
have on the number of new housing starts.
Council Member Bergeson asked if public buildings such as
schools, prison buildings pay standard building permit fees. Mr.
Kluegel indicated that they do.
Council Member Kuether felt that the average construction cost
for a single family home seemed to be rather low. Mr. Kluegel
noted that the cost is for the construction of the home only.
The cost did not include the price of the lot and was not
intended to represent the sale price of the home.
Mayor Reinert thanked Mr. Kluegel for his report.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, JOHN POWELL
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 03 Declaring Adequacy of
Petition and Ordering Preparation of a Feasibility Report for
Woods of Baldwin Lake, Second Addition - The preliminary plat for
this subdivision was approved, with conditions, by the City
Council on October 24, 1994. The property owners have submitted
a petition for utility and street improvement to serve the
proposed subdivision. The petition has been reviewed by the City
Clerk and the property owners have been verified. The next step
in the process is to prepare a Feasibility Report for these
improvements.
Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 03.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 03 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 04 Calling a Hearing on
Woods of Baldwin Lake, Second Addition - Mr. Powell explained
that the Feasibility Report has been prepared and is available to
the City Council this evening. With the receipt of this report
the City Council can now order the public hearing.
Mr. Powell noted the reason that the Feasibility Report could be
prepared on such a short notice is that the developer had
previously posted adequate financial guarantees to pay for the
PAGE 13

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
preparation of the Report.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 04.
Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Consideration of the Bids for Lakeview Place/LaMotte Ditch
Cleaning - Mr. Powell explained that plans and specifications for
this ditch cleaning project were ordered in October, 1994 and as
the estimated cost was less than $25,000.00, bids were solicited
and advertising was not required. Only one (1) bid was actually
submitted by a contractor and that bid was for $29,122.10
compared to an engineer's estimated cost of $14,604.00. The bid
was rejected.
At the City Council meeting on October 24, 1994, the City Council
authorized Rocky Keehn of SEH to wait a short time and again
solicit quotes for the project. On January 9, 1995, the
quotations for the second round of bidding were opened and again
only one (1) quote was received. The sole quote was received
from Ro-So Contracting for $30,039.35, almost twice the revised
engineer's estimate of $16,864.00. It is recommended that this
bid also be rejected. Mr. Powell recommended this project be
incorporated into one of the larger improvement projects to be
bid in 1995. This would lead to lower, more competitive unit
prices. Some cleaning of the east -west ditch has been done, this
should allow the proposed project to be delayed until Spring,
1995.
Council Member Bergeson moved to reject the bid and complete the
work as part of a larger project in 1995. Council Member Kuether
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 07 Receiving Feasibility
Report for Well No. 4 - Mr. Powell explained that the preliminary
plat for the Clearwater Creek development is currently being
reviewed by the City and will be considered by the City Council,
along with a rezone, at a future meeting. Although neither the
preliminary plat or rezoning has been approved, the developer,
Mr. Tony Emmerich, requested preparation of a feasibility report
for a new well to serve the project area. Furthermore, the
developer deposited escrow funds with the City to cover the cost
of preparing this report.
At the regular meeting of the City Council on November 14, 1994,
preparation of a feasibility report for well No. 4 was ordered.
The report has now been completed and submitted to the City. As
the rezone and preliminary plat for the Clearwater Creek
development will be considered at a future meeting, the setting

COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 23, 1995
of a public hearing for well No. 4 should be delayed until that
time. Mr. Powell requested that only the feasibility report be
received at this time.
Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 07
receiving the feasibility report for well No. 4. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 07 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Verbal Status Report, Trapper's Crossing - Mr. Powell explained
that on August 8, 1994, the City Council approved the rezone to
PDO and the preliminary plat with conditions. One of the
conditions was a requirement of a satisfactory plan for the
reconstruction of Holly Drive and 12th Avenue be included in the
development agreement. On October 19, 1994, SEH completed a
traffic study to determine the effect Trapper's Crossing had on
the Holly Drive/12th Avenue traffic. A copy of the report was
submitted to the developer. The developer has submitted a
request to extend the final plat filing deadline. (There is a 90
day requirement between preliminary and final plat approval by
the City Council). On December 12, 1994, the City received a
letter from the developer with his attorney's opinion on the cost
sharing legality and requesting a meeting to discuss the
developer's attorney's concerns. The concern was to what extent
would the developer be responsible for the cost of the
improvements to Holly Drive/12th Avenue.
On December 22, 1994, City staff met with the developer. SEH
submitted estimated the feasibility report preparation costs.
The two (2) feasibility reports that would be prepared are for
12th Avenue improvements and the subdivision itself to evaluate
utility service and drainage. Staff indicated to the developer
that a feasibility study would have to be prepared on the Holly
Drive/12th Avenue project to determine what project costs might
be involved and to what dollar extent he would be required to
contribute to those improvements.
As of this evening, the feasibility reports have not been
started. The City's participation in the Holly Drive/12th Avenue
feasibility costs should be determined by Council policy which
will be discussed at an upcoming Council work session. The
question to be answered is to what extent does the City benefit
from the report once it has been prepared and if the City should
participate in the cost of preparing it. Since the City has no
existing policy regarding City participation in the cost of any
feasibility study preparation, staff is requesting guidance from
the Council as to what would be allowed in this area. The
feasibility study would be prepared to determine estimated costs

for the improvement of Holly Drive/12th Avenue.
JANUARY 23, 1995
There were no further questions from the City Council and no
action was required at this time.
Verbal Status Report, Well No. 3 - Mr. Powell explained that on
September 21, 1994, the City Council order plans and
specifications and authorized acquisition of property by eminent
domain for well No. 3. Experience last summer indicated a
definite need for another well in the City. The process of
putting another well on line was begun last fall in order to have
the well ready to go when the peak water demand comes in the
summer.
At that time three (3) well sites were identified with the Apitz
site on Birch Street being the preferred site. At that time Mr.
Volk and Mr. Steve Heth attempted to contact Mr. Apitz or his
designated representative. There were some preliminary
discussions but ultimately SEH had to look for another site on
which to locate this well. Another site has been identified and
the property owner has agreed to the location. The legal
description will be prepared by SEH and forwarded to the City
Attorney so that an appraisal can be prepared.
Mr. Powell explained that the proposed site is on the Agnes
LaMotte property on the south side of Birch Street and west of
the ditch near a large oak tree on some high ground.
CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTING A LEGAL NEWSPAPER, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher explained that the City's legal newspaper is no
longer in business. In order that we not be without a legal
newspaper, he recommended that the City Council appoint the Quad
Community Press as interim legal newspaper. When annual
appointments are considered in a couple of weeks, the Council can
evaluate the applications for this designation and appoint a
legal newspaper for 1995.
Council Member Kuether moved to appoint the Quad Community Press
and interim legal newspaper. Council Member Bergeson seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

6:30 P.M. The meeting was set as noted.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION: The Annual Board of Review is Set for
Monday, April 17, 1995, 6:30 P.M.
Sandpile - Council Member Neal noted the icy conditions in the
parking lots of the Tom Thumb Store, Circle -Lex VFW and His and
Hers Beauty Shop. He asked that a resolution be adopted by the
City Council directing the Public Works Department to go to these
places and sand the parking lots. He noted that the conditions
at the Police Department parking lot are so bad that an officer
fell today and had to be transported to the hospital.
Council Member Elliott asked Mr. Hawkins to comment regarding
liability when a City vehicle is maintaining private property.
She said that she did not see a problem with having a sandpile
available for residents to come and get a bucket or two (2) if
they need it. Mr. Hawkins said that if the City takes the
responsibility of maintaining private parking lots, it must be
done in an acceptable manner. He also noted that there is the
issue of spending tax dollars on private property. Council
Member Neal suggested that a hold harmless agreement be given to
the City to avoid liability claims. Mayor Reinert felt that this
would be a policy matter and should be reviewed. Mayor Reinert
felt that sand could be available for residents to pick up with
buckets. The Public Works Department Supervisor would have to
designate pickup sites and then possibly place a notice in the
newspaper regarding the availablity of the sand.
Mayor Reinert asked that Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Hawkins to
research this matter.
Council Member Elliott moved to adjourn at 8:08 P.M. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a
regular meeting held on February 13, 1995.
