OPEN MIKE
John Theis and Michael Lamb, Northern States Power Company (NSP) - Mr. Theis
and Mr. Lamb were invited to attend this Council meeting tonight to explain why there
have been so many power outages during the past few months.
Mr. Theis explained that he is the Community Service Director out of Maple Grove but is
also serving out of White Bear Lake for a couple of months. He asked that anyone with
specific questions regarding the service provided by NSP call him at the White Bear
office, 493-1631. Mr. Theis introduced Mr. Lamb. Mr. Lamb explained he was here to
discuss the recent power outages that have occurred in Lino Lakes. Since January, 1995,
there have been 12 power outages on the main circuit the serves Lino Lakes. Seven (7) of
the outages were attributed to the ice storm that was experience in mid January, 1996
including the outage that affected the Wednesday evening planning session. Mr. Lamb
explained that NSP is addressing the problem in a number of ways primarily with tree
trimming and infrared surveys which identifies when pieces of equipment are likely to
fail. Three (3) outages were attributed to lightening and wind last summer and the other
two (2) failures were random equipment failures. Mr. Lamb said he would be happy to
PAGE 1

i
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
answer any questions that the City Council or citizens may have regarding electric
reliability.
Police Chief Pecchia noted that the Police Department has received calls from residents
asking who they should call in the event that their power is out. Mr. Lamb said that
residents should call 282-1000. Council Member Neal asked if anyone ever answers at
that number. He said the number rings and rings. Mr. Lamb explained that when there is
a major outage, thousands of customers call this number and there is a problem getting to
someone at NSP. Normally, calling that number should not be a problem and you should
reach someone at NSP or the automatic answering machine. Based on the telephone
number you are calling from the system automatically registers an outage at the residence
where you are calling from. However, if you are not calling from the house with the
outage, you will have to stay on the telephone line and follow the "prompts" given over
the telephone.
Council Member Kuether asked is there old power lines or old equipment in Lino Lakes?
Mr. Lamb explained that the circuit that serves Lino Lakes is extremely long and has a lot
of exposure to the environment. When an ice storm occurs, the longer circuit will
experience more problems. NSP is addressing this problem by "beefing" up the
construction and making sure the lines are clear of trees.
Mr. Ahrens explained that the Police Department has had a lot of problems with the
power fluctuating. This has caused a lot of computer problems. He asked what is
causing this problem. Mr. Lamb said that this situation could be discussed at length.
Whenever there is a lot of activity on the system, lights will flicker and the power will
flicker. Lino Lakes could be affected by a "system event" in Minneapolis or as far away
as Canada because all the systems are tied together. Mr. Lamb said that if the power is
fluctuating during non -storm times, he should be notified and it will be investigated and a
solution will be found. He explained that if the problem occurs, it is important to note the
time and date of the problem. The problem will be fixed or at least an explanation for the
problem will be determined.
Mayor Landers thanked Mr. Lamb and Mr. Theis for coming this evening. Council
Member Kuether asked Mr. Tesch to invite Meredith Cable to come before the City
Council and explain why the cable TV has been down so many times. Mr. Tesch
explained that many of their problems were caused by construction in the area.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL
Resolution No. 96 - 23 Calling Public Hearing on the Modification of Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-4 - Mr. Wessel explained that earlier this evening
the Economic Development Authority (EDA) authorized the preparation of modified
Plans for Tax Increment Financing District (TIF) No. 1-4 to drop all parcels from the
district with the exception of Emtech and Blue Heron, which are improved parcels. The
purpose of the modification is to remove parcels that no longer have capacity for
providing financial assistance to industrial businesses wishing to locate in the City.
Industrial development is not likely on some of the parcels in 1-4 and they will no longer
be within a TIF District. Certain parcels, such as the G.M. Development property in the
Apollo Business Park, will be incorporated into TIF District 1-7 so that the City has
capacity to provide assistance when these parcels develop.
Once the City Council sets the public hearing date, the modified plans will be sent to
School Districts 12 and 831, and Anoka County for review and comment. Mr. Wessel
recommended that Resolution No. 96 - 23 be adopted setting a public hearing for March
25, 1996, 6:30 P.M.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 23 as proposed. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 23 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Resolution No. 96 - 24 Calling Public Hearing on the Modification of Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-7 - Mr. Wessel explained that the EDA has
authorized the preparation of a modified plan for TIF District 1-7. This modified plan
will add parcels to the district and provide financial assistance to two (2) industrial
projects.
The parcels that will be added include the G. M. Development site in the Apollo Business
Park, and Glenn Rehbein's light industrial site on I -35W and Highway 49 interchange,
the Hawkins Chemical site just north of the Apollo Business Park. The momentum is
there for these sites to develop over the next couple of years. Once these sites are
PAGE 3
r
i
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
incorporated into TIF District 1-7, the City will have the capacity to offer financial
assistance.
Mr. Wessel recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 - 24 calling for
a public hearing on March 25, 1996, 6:45 P.M.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 24. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 24 can be found at the end of these minutes.
FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 01 - 96 Offering the Sale of Property in the
Apollo Business Park to Progressive Engineering Technology, Inc. - Mr. Wessel
explained that Progressive Engineering is an engineering and custom precision machining
company that is currently located in Blaine. The company is planning to purchase 2.2
acres in the City -owned portion of the Apollo Business Park to build a 16,000 square foot
manufacturing facility. According to the City Charter, an ordinance is required when
City -owned property is sold.
Mr. Wessel recommended that the City Council adopt the FIRST READING of
Ordinance No. 01 - 96.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 01 - 96
and dispense with the reading. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 -11 to Consider the Sale of Industrial Revenue
Bonds for Taymark - Mr. Wessel explained that the City of Lino Lakes has received a
proposal from Taylor Corporation asking the City to assist in financing a project through
the issuance of revenue bonds in the amount of $6,000,000.00. The project to be
financed is for the construction of Taymark, an approximately 150,000 square foot
manufacturing facility to be located on 20 acres in the Clearwater Creek Development
Center.
Taymark is a division of the Taylor Corporation which has a facility in White Bear Lake.
It plans to build an adjunct facility that deals in prom and homecoming supplies, party
goods and imprinted specialty products. Approximately 100 people will be employed in
Phase I of the project. The project will ultimately be in the range of 200,000 square feet.
The Minnesota Municipal industrial Development Act requires that the City Council
indicate its preliminary intent to undertake the project and to issue the revenue bonds to
finance the project. The issuance of the bonds is subject to a public hearing, approval of
the project by the Minnesota Trade and Economic Development Authority, approval by
PAGE 4
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
the City's bond counsel and the City Council and the availability of revenue bond
allocations.
While the allocations have been used up for 1996, the Taylor Corporation is requesting
this preliminary resolution stating the City's intent. The company will wait until new
allocations are available before actually applying, which will likely be in January, 1997.
At that time, the City can hold a public hearing and finalize the issuance of the bonds.
Mr. Wessel explained that adoption of the resolution is necessary to show that the City
intends to issue revenue bonds for this project. He noted that revenue bonds are different
from general obligation bonds in that it does not impede the ability of the City to issue
other bonds to Taymark.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 11. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT, CHIEF DAVID PECCHIA
Consideration of Hiring Wendy Rohwer, Full -Time Records Clerk - This item was
removed from the agenda.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND
Site Plan Review, Anoka County Juvenile Detention Center - Ms. Wyland used the
overhead projector to show the location of this planned facility within the grounds of the
Minnesota Correctional Facility. She noted that Anoka County is planning to construct a
36 bed Juvenile Detention Center, approximately 10,600 square feet in area, on its
property at 7555 Fourth Avenue (south/west corner of Lilac and Fourth Avenue). The
building will be used to secure and hold violent juvenile offenders. The site currently
contains two (2) juvenile detention cottages, a juvenile shelter, and a 60 bed medium
security facility for adult county offenders (workhouse). The new County project
description is as follows:
The new building will be west of the existing shelter. A secure connection to the
shelter will allow dual use of the existing gym. The juvenile shelter will get food
service from the state prison, just as the county juvenile center does now. Visitors
to the building will park south of the building along with the staff. Sanitary sewer
and water will connect to nearby utilities. Storm water will be directed to an
existing pond which will be enhanced.
Perimeter walls will be built of solid reinforced concrete masonry. The exterior of
the building will have earth tone colors that will complement the existing adjacent
cottages and match the juvenile center, and have a heavy landscape tree buffer to
the north (much of it is existing.). Each entrance will be secured by remote
controlled doors and sally ports. The required outdoor recreation areas will have
PAGE 5
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
tight -meshed chain link material with a sloped top so as to be unclimbable. No
"razor ribbon" will be used.
The facility will be licensed by the State Department of Corrections and meet
their standards for security. The center is part of a state-wide expansion of
juvenile detention beds funded by the State of Minnesota.
The City's Police Department originally expressed concerns regarding security and use of
the facility. However, they have met with the Anoka County Corrections staff and
worked out an agreement that will include special security services for the Lino Lakes
Police Department and a much needed holding cell on the Anoka County site. Ms.
Wyland explained that County Commissioner Langfeld; Architect & Engineer, Mark
Fedders; Division Manager, Anoka County Human Services, Jerry Soma and Juvenile
Center Superintendent, Dan Ceynowa are present this evening to answer questions from
the City Council and the audience.
Site Plan Review
The property is zoned Public/Semi-Public (PSP) and the zoning ordinance provides that
"all public buildings for county and state government" are permitted uses. The site is
approximately ten (10) acres in size and is owned by Anoka County. The State of
Minnesota owns the balance of this quarter section or approximately 150 acres.
The original site plan review request included a side yard variance for five (5) feet which
would have allowed the building to be constructed five (5) feet from the west property
line. There was much discussion at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting regarding
this variance request. The Planning and Zoning Board did recommend approval of the
site plan, however, they added a condition that Anoka County pursue a land transfer with
the State of Minnesota which would ultimately eliminate the need for a variance. After
Anoka County considered this requirement, the building size was modified so that a ten
(10) foot setback could be maintained.
Setbacks: The revised building plan meets all setback requirements of the zoning
ordinance, including the ten (10) foot side setback requirement.
Building Height: A maximum height of 45 feet is allowed according to the ordinance.
The proposed structure will be within that requirement.
Landscaping and Buffering: A landscape plan has been provided which indicates
plantings at the entrance to the building. A large grove of evergreen trees will screen the
building from Lilac Street. Anoka County has indicated, to the State, that if any trees are
removed during construction, they will be replaced with four (4) inch diameter trees. In
addition, Anoka County will be installing an eight (8) foot high wood fence to separate
the Anoka County Juvenile Detention building from the State Adult Facility to the west,
as requested by the State.
PAGE 6
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Aesthetic Compatibility: The proposed structure will be constructed of face brick and
stucco to match the existing shelter with brown tinted glass. The building will be
substantially screened from the east by the existing juvenile shelter.
Off -Street Parking: Eighteen (18) parking stalls, including two (2) handicapped spaces,
shall be provided south of the proposed new building. Additional parking is also
provided elsewhere on the site and via contract with the Minnesota State Correctional
Facility.
Circulation and Access: Access to the site will be provided from Fourth Avenue
through the State Correctional Facility entrances. Anoka County has an agreement with
the State providing for this access arrangement.
Loading and Trash: An adequately screened trash enclosure will be provided south of
the proposed building.
Lighting: A lighting schedule has been provided which illuminates the area surrounding
the proposed building. The Planning and Zoning Board, based on Police Chief Pecchia's
recommendation, has recommended that Anoka County install street lights at Fourth
Avenue and Apollo Drive, Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street, Lilac Street and Apollo Drive
and east of Patti Drive on Lilac Street. The purpose of the street lights is to provide
adequate lighting in the vicinity should there be a need in respect to the use of the
facilities.
Signs: Sign locations have been indicated on the site plan. The applicant has been
advised that sign permits will be required for any sign. The signs must comply with the
City's sign ordinance.
Utilities, Grading and Drainage: Plans relating to utilities, grading and drainage shall
be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. City sewer and water utilities
are available to serve the building from Fourth Avenue.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the site plan at their January
10, 1996 meeting with the following conditions:
1. Proper building permits be obtained prior to construction, the building permits
shall include utilities fees as calculated by the City Engineer.
2. Proper sign permits be obtained prior to any sign installation.
3. Final utility, drainage and grading plans shall be approved by the City Engineer.
4. The parking area shall be provided with a hard surface with concrete curb and
gutter surrounding all access drives and parking areas.
PAGE 7
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
5. Existing screening shall be maintained along Lilac Street.
6. Anoka County shall provide additional street lighting at the following locations:
Fourth Avenue at Lilac Street
Fourth Avenue at Apollo Drive
Lilac Street just east of Patti Drive
Lilac Street at Apollo Drive
7. A special security services agreement be negotiated with the Lino Lakes Police
Department including the provision for a holding cell and other items as agreed to
by Police Chief Pecchia.
Council Member Bergeson noted that at an earlier meeting, the City Council was told that
a variance would be needed for side yard setbacks because the building could not be
redesigned. Now all of a sudden, a variance is not needed. Mr. Fedder's explained that
there are many agencies to work with and sometimes the State Building Code and the
City Codes are in conflict with the Department of Corrections requirements. This time
the building could be drafted to eliminate the need for the variance.
Council Member Neal said he was told that lighting is an issue. Commissioner Langfeld
said that Anoka County is adamantly opposed to installing street lights. She said that
those street lights are not relevant to the proposed building. She also noted that the
Anoka County Public Works Department has never installed street lights on a City street.
Council Member Kuether asked that a sign describing this building not contain the words
Lino Lakes. Commissioner Langfeld said it would say, "East Central Juvenile Center".
Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Hawkins if the City could require that Anoka
County erect street lights on property not owned by Anoka County. Mr. Hawkins said
that the City could require the lights if the City could show evidence of the need for the
lights. Police Chief Pecchia said that he recommended the street lights based on the
"worse case scenario". He noted that he did have a very good working relationship with
Anoka County and wanted to maintain that relationship. However, his recommendation
remains as stated. Council Member Kuether suggested that the motion for approval could
require street lighting if the need arises.
Ms. Wyland noted that several years ago, a petition for a street light on Patti Drive and
Lilac Street was received signed by several residents on Patti Drive. When the other
residents heard about the petition, they petitioned against the street light. A street light
was never installed.
Council Member Neal said that he could not see a need for street lights. Mayor Landers
said he could see a need for a street light at Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street. Council
PAGE 8
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12,1996
Member Lyden asked if the street light was needed for traffic or for illuminating the area
if there was an escape from the facility. He was told that the recommendation was made
for safety reasons including an escape.
There was further discussion regarding the cost of erecting street lights. Council Member
Lyden asked if there could be some compromise on this matter. Mr. Soma explained that
the Correctional Facility has been at this site since 1977. He noted that the new facility is
more secure than the current buildings. Ms. Wyland said that she had only one comment
regarding street lights and that came from a business located on Fourth Avenue. They
requested streets lights at Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street. Council Member Kuether
noted that if a street light in this location benefits businesses, they should share the costs.
Commissioner Langfeld said that if a need is determined in the future, she will ask Anoka
County Public Works Department to install the lights.
Council Member Neal moved to approve the site plan with the conditions listed above
except for condition No. 6, street lights. There was no second to this motion and the
motion died.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the site plan with condition No. 6 to be a
contingency as need arises and based on the Chief of Police's recommendation but not to
exceed four (4) street lights. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion
carried with Council Member Neal voting no.
CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING, IMPROVEMENT OF 12TH AVENUE
AND HOLLY DRIVE AND RECOGNITION OF CITIZENS PETITION, DAVID
AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens explained that the public hearing for the proposed improvements to 12th
Avenue and Holly Drive was continued from January 22, 1996. The City Attorney has
examined the files and will offer further information on this matter. Mr. Ahrens said he
has some exhibits about other MSA roads in the City including their condition and their
over all ranking within the City. He noted a petition from property owners along 12th
Avenue and Holly Drive petitioning against assessments to their properties for road and
utility improvements. This petition is provided for Council acceptance at this time.
Council Member Bergeson referred to notes written on the petition by the City Clerk and
asked if the landowner had to be a registered voter to petition against proposed
assessments. Mr. Hawkins explained that there are no assessments proposed for the
abutting property owners so the petition should be received as information only. Mayor
Landers said that the petition was presented so that the property owners made it very
clear that they did not want to be assessed for any road improvements.
Council Member Kuether moved to accept the petition. Council Member Lyden
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Mr. Ahrens presented a handout to each Council Member which listed each segment of
all the MSA streets in the City and compared the MSA streets using the street inventory
rating. The worst street is at the beginning of the list and the best street is at the bottom
of the list. A segment of West Shadow Lake Drive is rated as the worst street in the City
and three (3) segments of Ware Road are also at the top of this list. Mr. Ahrens noted
that out of 294 road segments in this City, Holly Drive ranks 107th. He also noted the
average daily traffic, as counted in 1993, for comparison to see which streets have more
traffic and which streets have less traffic.
Council Member Bergeson noted that there had been a proposal to improve West Shadow
Lake Drive north of Birch Street. However, the residents did not support the proposal
and it was dropped.
Council Member Lyden noted that three (3) segments of Holly Drive are listed as eight
(8), nine (9) and ten (10) on Mr. Ahrens list. He asked how quickly would these numbers
drop and "mirror" Ware Road when Trapper's Crossing is fully developed. Mr. Ahrens
explained how to determine what the additional traffic on Holly Drive will be. Council
Member Lyden asked how fast would the numbers for Holly Drive drop to a two (2) or
three (3). Mr. Ahrens explained that there are many variables to consider and it would be
very difficult to predict. He said that Ware Road is deteriorating faster than Holly Drive
will because Ware Road has a lot more traffic and there is a lot more organic material
under Ware Road.
Council Member Bergeson asked how long will it take to complete both phases of
Trapper's Crossing. Mr. Ahrens said he did not know, it would depend on how quickly
the developer can get approval from the City. Mr. Corson, the developers representative,
explained that the developer is looking at four (4) years at the very least and most likely
six (6) years. There will be a total of 115 homes.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the City Council talked with the consulting planner
Al Brixius and asked him to put his comments in writing. Mr. Ahrens read a letter
written to Mr. Schumacher by Mr. Brixius so that it would become part of the record.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the City Council had asked for a clarification from
the City Attorney on what the City agreed to in the developers agreement for Trapper's
Crossing. The attorney for the developer was at the Council work session and gave his
opinion about what he felt that the developer had agreed to related to that project . Mr.
Hawkins explained that the entire issue concerning what the developers obligation is falls
back to the Council resolution/motion approving the preliminary plat in August, 1994.
He explained that the motion made by Council Member Kuether to approve the
preliminary plat is made on the condition that the developer take action necessary to
complete a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of Holly Drive/12th Avenue. There
was further discussion and Mr. Hokanson (the developer) asked if the motion was
requiring him to pay for the entire reconstruction. Mr. Hawkins explained that the
motion was requiring a satisfactory plan for the reconstruction of the street being
PAGE 10
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
included in the developers agreement. Mr. Hawkins said he does not believe that the City
has an agreement with Mr. Hokanson concerning the entire Holly Drive improvement.
The City has a development contract that covers Trapper's Crossing, Phase I. In this
agreement, it is stated that the developer will pay the City installed improvements based
upon the estimated costs. Attached to the development contract is a list of the estimated
cost for Phase I. Included in the list of benefits for Phase I is a $250,000.00 cost for
MSA streets. Mr. Hawkins said that it is his belief that the City does not have an
agreement for the balance of the project. This contract only covers Phase I. The City
does not have a development agreement for Phase II and has not approved the final plat
of Phase II. Mr. Hawkins explained that the City has to meet with the developer and his
legal counsel and determine what is a satisfactory agreement for the reconstruction of the
roadway. It is clear that the developer signed the development agreement and it only
covers Phase I. Mr. Hawkins recommended that the City Council direct staff to meet
with Mr. Hokanson and his representatives and negotiate a cost sharing arrangement and
bring this agreement back to the City Council to see if it is acceptable. He explained that
an agreement for the reconstruction of the entire roadway can now be negotiated since the
total cost for the reconstruction has now been determined.
Council Member Kuether said that the intent of her motion was to tie the developers
requirements to the increase in traffic. Obviously the City would not be forced into
considering the reconstruction of that road at this time without Trapper's Crossing.
Council Member Lyden asked Mr. Ahrens with the building of Trapper's Crossing taking
four (4) to six (6) years, when do you see the roadway being upgraded. Mr. Ahrens said
the road is need of repair since it is near the end of its life cycle. Generally the best
prices for the reconstruction are obtained when projects are combined. He said it was his
opinion that the reconstruction of the roadway be completed prior to the full development
of Trapper's Crossing. When Trapper's Crossing, Phase I is constructed, the roadway
from the first phase to Birch Street will be torn up to accommodate the installation of
utilities. He felt that this would be the optimum time to take care of the road needs for
that segment. He said that leaves the question of when to reconstruct Holly Drive south
from Trapper's Crossing. He felt that portion of the construction could be done at any
time because the residents of Trapper's Crossing will have a new road to travel on north
to Birch Street. After Phase II is completed, the reconstruction of the balance of Holly
Drive could be completed.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the developers counsel made some comments
during the Council work session. Since that was not a public hearing, they should be
offered the opportunity to make those comments tonight so that it becomes part of the
public hearing record. Mr. Tom Baylak, attorney for Hokanson Development, said that
he did attend the Council work session and discussed with the City Council the
interpretation of the development agreement. He said he would accept Mr. Hawkins'
recommendation that they sit down and negotiate Hokanson's obligations prior to the
close of the public hearing. Mr. Baylak explained that the City's records indicate that the
$250,000.00 was to be allocated against the entire first 28 lots and cover the entire
PAGE 11
r
i
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12,1996
Trapper's Crossing plat. The developers position is still the same. They are not obligated
to pay more than the $250,000.00 toward the reconstruction of 12th Avenue/Holly Drive.
Mr. Baylak asked Mr. Heth to give his understanding of the development agreement. Mr.
Hawkins said that it would be unfair for Mr. Heth to be asked to say what he feels is fair
or unfair. He said Mr. Heth is a member of the staff and the entire staff will sit down and
talk about this matter and then go the developer and his counsel with their conclusion.
Mr. Baylak said that Mr. Heth is on record supporting the $250,000.00 figure. Mr.
Hawkins explained that Mr. Heth is just a consultant and the City has to fall back on the
contract that was signed by Mr. Hokanson. Mayor Landers said that the City Council
will follow Mr. Hawkins' recommendation.
Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 8:20 P.M. He explained that the City
Council will take public input at this time. He asked that only new information be
brought forward at this time.
Sue Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive - Ms. Walseth said that there are so many unanswered
questions and asked the City Council to continue the public hearing to when these
questions are resolved.
Caroline Dahl, 1101 Holly Court - Ms. Dahl said that if the south half of the
development is going to be discussed, she wanted it noted that the August 8, 1994 PDO
contains a fencing agreement for adjoining property owners including herself. She asked
that this issue also be discussed at the time staff discusses the road issue. This matter was
in the original motion and will be discussed.
Al DeMotts, 6265 Holly Drive - Mr. DeMotts asked if there will be another public
hearing for the development of Phase II. Mr. Hawkins explained that this public hearing
covers the entire development of Trapper's Crossing. Mr. DeMotts asked if the road
improvement will be considered for both Phases. Does the $250,000.00 cover only the
1st Phase and how will you determine how much money will be required from the
developer for Phase II? Mr. Hawkins explained that this matter will be discussed by the
staff. Mr. DeMotts asked if the cash escrow has been paid for Phase I or will it be paid
before this hearing is closed. Mr. Hawkins explained that the City requires a letter of
credit and this letter of credit has to be posted prior to the start of construction. The cash
escrow is 35% of the total cost of the improvement for Phase I. Mr. DeMotts questioned
the amount of the cash escrow. It was explained that the preliminary estimate was
adjusted. Mr. Ahrens asked Mr. DeMotts if he was talking about phasing the
construction of the Trapper's Crossing subdivision or phasing of the reconstruction of
Holly Drive. Mr. Ahrens noted that the cost sheet that Mr. Hawkins referred to reflects
the bid prices received for the public improvements for Trapper's Crossing, Phase I. Mr.
DeMotts referred to the development agreement and said the cash escrow figure that he
calculated was based on the development agreement figures. Mr. Ahrens explained that
the development agreement contains estimated figures. The actual escrow is based on bid
prices which are lower than the figures in the development agreement.
PAGE 12
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Council Member Bergeson noted that this hearing is for the improvement of 12th
Avenue/Holly Drive and not the Trapper's Crossing subdivision. The public hearing on
Trapper's Crossing was held some time ago. Mr. Hawkins explained that there probably
will not be any additional public hearings on additional phases of Trapper's Crossing
because the costs will be paid entirely by the developer.
Julie Thell, 6482 - 12th Avenue - Ms. Thell said that it is her understanding that 12th
Avenue will be improved and sewer and water utilities will be included. She was told
that this is correct. Ms. Thell said it was also her understanding that there will be no
assessment to abutting property owners. Mr. Ahrens said that this is also correct. Ms.
Thell asked when would assessments be levied against abutting property owners. Mr.
Ahrens explained that the developer is installing the sewer and water utilities and also
reconstructing all of 12th Avenue and a small portion of Holly Drive. If a property owner
wants to connect to the sewer and water utilities, the property owner would have to come
to the City and petition to connect to those utilities. An assessment cost would be
prepared for the property. The timing of the connection would be at the option of the
property owner. Mayor Landers noted that there will be no assessment until a property
owner decides to connect to utilities.
Council Member Neal asked how many phases will there be in Trapper's Crossing. He
was told three (3).
Council Member Kuether moved to continue the public hearing to the first Council
meeting in March to allow time for the staff and City attorney to get together with the
Trapper's Crossing people to prepare some guidance for the City Council on the issue.
Council Member Lyden seconded the motion.
Council Member Neal said if they cannot prepare a mutual agreement, the development
will probably have to be red tagged. This matter has to be settled even if it requires a
special Council meeting.
Council Member Lyden said he would like to be present at the meetings between staff
and the developer. Mr. Hawkins explained that this would be a staff meeting and they are
open to the public. Council Member Bergeson said that all Council Members should be
given the date of the meeting so that they can attend if they wish. Mr. Hawkins reminded
the City Council of the open meeting law. If three (3) or more Council Members attend,
the meeting must be advertised as a special Council meeting. This was intended to be a
staff meeting and then a meeting between the attorneys to try to resolve the problems.
Mr. Hawkins said that he was not trying to discourage anyone from attending the
meeting, however, sometimes there is free flow and open dialog when the parties do not
attend including Mr. Hokanson and members of the Council. Whatever the results, this
information will be brought back to the City Council.
Council Member Lyden asked what fences will be discussed. He was told all issues
would be discussed. Council Member Lyden noted that everyone is surprised that the
PAGE 13

r
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
cost of reconstructing 12th Avenue/Holly drive is $1,900,000.00. He suggested that the
entire development process be reviewed. Maybe more safety checks need to be included
in the process so that this will happen again. Council Member Lyden noted that the City
does not have $1,900,000.00 to reconstruct this road. He also said that in reality, the road
would not have to be reconstructed if Trapper's Crossing was not developed.
Mayor Landers asked exactly what will be negotiated between the attorneys. Mr.
Hawkins referred to the original resolution and explained that all concerns outlined in that
resolution will be negotiated. All outstanding issues will be resolved.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously at 8:38 P.M.
The City Council took a break and reconvened at 8:51 P.M..
CONSIDERATION OF HIRING CUSTODIAL SERVICES, DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch explained that the person hired for custodian service for all City buildings has
resigned. The City solicited proposals from several cleaning services. A cost comparison
between the cleaning services and hiring another custodian was prepared and included in
the Council packets.
Public Works Superintendent, Tom DeWolfe prepared specifications for a cleaning
service and three (3) responses were received based on Mr. DeWolfe's specifications.
The proposal were received from:
Bilder Maintenance
Ray Johnson
L'Allier, Inc.
$38,021.00 per year
$31,758.00
$21,321.00
The cost to hire another custodian would be $33,466.00 per year.
Mr. Tesch explained that reference checks were performed on L'Allier, Inc. The
references were very positive.
A contract was prepared and approved by the City Attorney.
Mr. Jeremy L'Allier, representing L'Allier, Inc. explained that the owners of the
company were on vacation and he is representing them this evening. He explained that
the company has been in business since 1990.
Council Member Neal said that St. Joseph Catholic Church told him that when L'Allier,
Inc. scrubs a floor, they are charged extra. Mr. L'Allier said that there is no extra charge
for just scrubbing a floor. However, when a floor has to be recoated or rewaxed, that is
called special project work and would cost extra. The restrooms would be mopped daily.
PAGE 14
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12,1996
Council Member Neal asked when the custodial work would be done. Mr. L'Allier said
it would be on a daily basis and the time is spelled out in the specifications for the job.
Council Member Neal asked if all four (4) buildings were included in his proposal. All
four(4) were included.
The term of the contract is until December 31, 1996. Council Member Neal said he
wanted the approval to contain a six (6) month probationary period. Mr. L'Allier
explained that the proposal states that either party can cancel as per the Lino Lakes
standard agreement, section seven (7). Mr. Tesch read section seven (7): The City
reserves the right to terminate the provider at any time within the term of the agreement.
In the event of such termination, the City shall provide the provider with written notice of
termination upon the receipt of same. The provider shall immediately cease and desist
providers provision of service under the agreement and the City shall have no further
obligation under this agreement to pay any further compensation to the provider except
for the compensation due and owing for the services prior to receipt of 30 days written
notice.
Council Member Neal asked who pays for the supplies. Mr. L'Allier explained that the
chemicals will be provided by L'Allier, Inc. and supplies of consumables such as paper
products are provided by the City. Council Member Neal said that if this is such a good
deal, the contract should be for five (5) years. Mr. Tesch said that this contract is
renewable every year.
Council Member Lyden moved to award the bid for custodian service to L'Allier, Inc.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 96 -12 DESIGNATING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDING FOR
1996/1997, DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch explained that each year the City of Lino Lakes receives CDBG funding which
is dispensed by Anoka County from the federal government. This year, Lino. Lakes will
receive approximately $37,605.00. A number of service organizations have requested a
portion of these dollars. The City Council held a CDBG public hearing on January 22,
1996 and heard funding requests from several organizations. Two (2) funding options
have been prepared for City Council consideration. The difference between the two (2)
options is that Option 1 does not include the request from the Lino Lakes Senior
Coordinator for $600.00 to be paid toward their insurance. Option No. 2 includes the
Coordinator's request and decreases the North Anoka Meals on Wheels program by the
same $600.00.
Council Member Kuether asked why all of the $600.00 needed to fund the insurance for
the Senior Center come from Meals on Wheels. Council Member Neal explained that the
amount of money requested from Anoka Meals on Wheels is to pay the site Coordinator
of the program. She works out of St. Joseph Catholic Church. This site delivers meals to
PAGE 15
r
r
f
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12,1996
Centerville, Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Lexington and a portion of Blaine. If Lino Lakes
funds their full request, then none of the other cities served will have to pay anything
toward the service. Council Member Neal wanted the Council to know that Lino Lakes
has been funding the coordinator entirely. (Actually Lino Lakes funded $1,500.00 and
Blaine funded $1,000.00.) Council Member Kuether thought that Meals on Wheels
provides meals to about 100 Lino Lakes residents. (Actually 22 meals are delivered to
Lino Lakes.)
Council Member Lyden explained that the question at the work session was not that the
money was going to be taken from Meals on Wheels but that it was going to be used for
insurance and would the City incur some liability. Mr. Tesch said that this was checked
with Mr. Hawkins and he said that this was not a problem.
Mr. Tesch explained that the CDBG funding is estimated to be $37,605.00. If this
amount changes, a resolution amending the City Council action tonight will be brought to
the City Council for consideration.
Council Member Kuether noted that there are considerably less dollars allocated to the
ADA funding. Mr. Tesch said that this is true.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve Option No. 2. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND
Consideration of Clearwater Creek Easements - Ms. Wyland explained that
Clearwater Creek plat received final plat approval from the City Council on November
13, 1995. A portion of the site has been final graded and some revisions made to a
ponding area adjacent to Lot 8 and Lot 9, Block 1 on Clearwater Court. The revisions
were made to avoid a large oak tree. Easements are required over all drainage and
ponding areas and are typically shown on the final plat and survey documents. Because
this ponding area was revised following final plat approval and does not follow the
platted easement, new documents are required. Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector
to show the detail of the revised easements.
Consulting Engineer, John Powell has reviewed the easement documents and has
indicated that they are in order. Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the
two (2) easement documents as submitted.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the documents. Council Member Bergeson
seconded the motion.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS
PAGE 16
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Consider Agreement for Professional Services, Water Tower Antenna Leasing with
Mr. John DuBois, - Mr. Ahrens explained that the newest generation of wireless
communication technology (Personal Communication Service or PCS) is coming to the
Metro area and will involve an important role with each city. This new communication
service requires a greater density of antennas than existing cellular technology and
therefore, the communication companies need to acquire new/additional antenna space.
Mr. Jim Nelson, TEA Group, Inc., has contacted the City concerning the lease of antenna
space on the City's water tower. Obvious antenna locations include municipal water
towers due to their acceptance in communities and height advantages.
Since antenna lease agreements and the communication industry are unfamiliar with staff,
it is important that the City utilize specialized consulting services to rely upon as
discussions with the communication companies evolve. The installation of antennas
include specialized issues such as equitable compensation for lease of municipal space
and potential for interference to other radio and television users. Mr. DuBois is a
Professional Communications Engineer with over 30 years of experience in radio
communications system engineering. He is currently assisting other municipalities in the
management of their water tower assets. Mr. DuBois has assisted numerous cities in the
metro area on this type of work including Lakeville, Burnsville, Coon Rapids and
Brooklyn Park. The Consulting Engineer Agreement with Mr. DuBois will allow the
City to utilize his services on an "as -needed" basis for antenna leasing coordination. The
City Attorney has reviewed the Agreement and has found it acceptable. Mr. Ahrens
noted that all costs related to approving the installation of all antennas and Mr. DuBois'
services would be recouped through the lease of the space.
Mr. Ahrens included in the City Council packets an article written by the League of
Minnesota Cities concerning PCS communication service and the Consulting Engineer
Agreement. He recommended that the City Council approve the Consulting Engineer
Agreement between Mr. John DuBois and the City of Lino Lakes.
Council Member Kuether expressed concern regarding what the water tower would look
like with numerous antennas attached to it. She asked Mr. Ahrens to get a picture of a
water tower with antennas attached.
After further discussion, Council Member Kuether moved to approve the Consulting
Engineer Agreement between Mr. John DuBois and the City of Lino Lakes. Council
Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 -17 Receive Feasibility Report and Call Hearing on
Improvement, Centennial Middle School Street and Utility Improvement
Mr. Ahrens explained that the Centennial School District requested the City to conduct a
street and utility service study and a traffic study for a proposed middle school along Elm
Street on May 31, 1995. The report has been completed by the City's engineering
consultant, OSM, Inc. In accordance with Minnesota State Statutes 429 and the Lino
PAGE 17
r
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Lakes City Charter, the feasibility report is to be received by the City Council and a
public hearing scheduled. The public hearing is scheduled for the March 11, 1996
Council meeting.
Mr. Ahrens recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 - 17 receiving
the feasibility report and call a public hearing for the Centennial Middle School street and
utility improvements.
Council Member Lyden asked how these proposed improvements would be financed.
Mr. Ahrens explained that the cost would be assessed to the benefiting property owners.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 17 as recommended by
the City Engineer. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 17 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 18 Final Acceptance of Work - Pheasant Hills
Preserve, 6th Addition - Mr. Ahrens explained that the developer's of Pheasant Hills
Preserve, 6th Addition have requested final acceptance of the public improvements.
These improvements were completed in October, 1995, with construction observation
provided by the City of Lino Lakes representative. There is a one year warranty period
from the final acceptance date to cover possible defective work by the contractor. Mr.
Ahrens recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 96 - 18 accepting the
work for Pheasant Hills Preserve, 6th Addition.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 18. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 18 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 19 Authorizing City to Enter Into a Joint
Powers Agreement with the Metropolitan Council for Installation of Watermain -
Mr. Ahrens used the overhead projector to outline the area where Metropolitan Council
will be installing a sanitary sewer interceptor pipe along Ware Road and Ash Street. He
explained that staff has looked at the City's need for utility construction in this corridor
and has identified the need to install watermain from Coyote Trail to 62nd Street on Ware
Road and from Hodgson Road to 155 Ash Street on Ash Street. In order to have this
work completed under a contract let by the Metropolitan Council, it is necessary that the
City enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Metropolitan Council. Staff is
requesting Council to authorize the City to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement so that
this work can be completed. Final approval of the Joint Powers Agreement will be
provided at a later Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES
PAGE 18
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Mr. Ahrens explained that both segments of the watermain will ultimately be needed in
the City's water system. Therefore, alternates include having the watermain constructed
at a later date depending on private development needs or by the City as part of water
system development. It is difficult to predict when this might happen, but could be
within the next three (3) years. The advantage to having this work completed at this time
is that construction activity and disruption to the public in the area of construction will
only occur once for the installation of the interceptor pipe and the watermain. If the
watermain work is delayed, then the construction activity and disruption will happen
twice in a possible three (3) year time span.
FUNDING
Mr. Ahrens explained that assessments are not proposed to be levied for this work.
Assessments will be levied only when a property owner elects to connect to the
watermain. It is estimated that the construction costs will be approximately $120,000.00
and it is proposed that this work be funded from the City's Water Area and Unit Fund in
the interim until connections are made.
OTHER ISSUES
The City will need to acquire five (5) feet of temporary construction easement along the
proposed Ash Street watermain.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the construction will tear up yards and driveways that
were torn up about two (2) years ago. Mr. Ahrens said yes and that is why he is asking
that both the Metropolitan Council interceptor and the Lino Lakes watermain be installed
at the same time.
Council Member Lyden asked why the construction of the watermain will not go all the
way down on Ware Road to County Road J (Ash Street). Mr. Ahrens explained that
Metropolitan Council is proposing to directional bore the interceptor pipe .(push pipe
underground without any open cut or trench construction) from 62nd Street to Ash Street.
There will be minimal disturbance to Ware Road. Mr. Ahrens said that it is unfortunate
that this type of construction means that there will not be an opportunity to restore Ware
Road to a decent condition.
Mayor Landers said that the cost of pushing the sewer interceptor underground must be
very expensive. He asked if the boring method could be used on Ash Street so that there
will be minimal disruption in an area that was disrupted two (2) years ago. Mr. Ahrens
said that the Metropolitan Council will be obtaining a bid alternate for the boring method
of construction. However, Metropolitan Council is not sure what those costs will be. If
direction boring occurs on Ash Street, the Lino Lakes watermain will be installed at a
later date.
PAGE 19
r
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Council Member Kuether asked if the residents on Ash Street know about this pending
construction. Mr. Ahrens said they know about the Metropolitan Council interceptor
construction. Neighborhood meetings have been held but have not been well attended.
Council Member Bergeson noted that Lino Lakes has a non-standard notification policy
that requires the City to notify more people by registered mail. Mr. Ahrens said that this
project probably would not fall under this policy. However, if the Lino Lakes watermain
construction becomes a reality, those residents will be notified under that policy. Mayor
Landers asked if the residents along Ash Street could be given a guarantee that they will
not be disturbed for a long time. Mr. Ahrens said that he could not make any guarantees
for other agencies.
Mr. Ahrens said that he will be out in that area notifying residents of the construction and
obtaining the temporary easements.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve Resolution No. 96 - 19 and notify the
affected property owners by registered mail. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously
Resolution No. 96 - 19 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 20 Ordering Preparation of Report on
Improvement, Otter Lake Road Re -alignment - Mr. Powell explained that to support
the development of businesses in the Clearwater Creek Business Development Center, the
infrastructure needs of these businesses must be addressed. The area of the Development
Center currently being reviewed in detail is the southeast quadrant of the I-35E/Main
Street intersection. The City Council has previously authorized preparation of a study
reviewing sanitary sewer and watermain service in this area. This study was received by
the City Council in December, 1995. Discussions with Anoka County regarding the re-
alignment of County Road #84 (Otter Lake Road) have been ongoing. These discussions
have now reached the point where more detailed engineering and cost information needs
to be prepared in order to review cost-sharing options with Anoka County. This
information will also be very useful in evaluating development proposals for this area.
Mr. Powell recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 96 - 20 Ordering
Preparation of a Report on the Otter Lake Road Re -alignment.
Council Member Bergeson asked if a cost estimate has been prepared for this report. Mr.
Powell explained that the engineering work is estimated to cost $7,350.00 and about
$6,200.00 for the soil borings. Deeper borings will be done in the area of the re-
alignment of the roadway because utilities are anticipated to be constructed underneath
the roadway. Council Member Bergeson asked how the study will be funded. Mr.
Ahrens explained that it will be funded from his budget under Consultant Services. If the
improvement is ultimately assessed to the benefiting property owners, these costs will be
recouped. Mr. Powell explained that this area has been exempted from the City Charter
assessment restrictions and benefiting property owners will be assessed under Chapter
PAGE 20
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
429 of the State Statutes. Mr. Wessel explained that only the businesses locating in this
area will be assessed. No residents will be assessed.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 20. Council Member
Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 20 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 21 Receiving Feasibility Report and Calling
Hearing on Improvement, Birch Street Trunk Watermain - Mr. Powell explained that
the Lino Lakes City Council ordered preparation of this report at the January 22, 1996
Council meeting. The report addresses the need for trunk watermain extensions to the
southeast quadrant of I-35E/Main Street to support development of businesses in the area.
In accordance with Minnesota State Statute Section 429 and the Lino Lakes City Charter,
the feasibility report is to be received by the City Council and a public hearing scheduled.
The public hearing will be held at the City Council meeting scheduled for March 25,
1995, 6:45 P.M.
Mr. Powell recommended that Resolution No. 96 - 21 be adopted.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 21 as presented. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 21 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 22 Ordering Preparation of Plans and
Specifications, Birch Street Trunk Watermain - Mr. Powell explained that the City
Council just received the feasibility report and set a public hearing for March 25, 1996. It
is likely that many of the questions or concerns which will be raised by property owners
can only be addressed after preparation of the detailed construction plans. In order to
more accurately respond to these questions at the public hearing, staff is requesting that
the City Council order preparation of the plans and specifications so that the completed
documents will be available at the public hearing. The public improvement process
allows the City Council to order the plans prior to the public hearing. The City has
followed this process in the past.
Mr. Powell recommended that Resolution No. 96 - 22 be adopted.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 22. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 22 can be found at the end of these minutes.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 -13 Amending the 1995 General Fund Budget -
Mr. Tesch explained that the following resolutions are for housekeeping purposes for the
year ended December 31, 1995 for audit and budget adjustments. Resolution No. 96 - 13
makes changes to the General Fund for Police Department salaries and automobile
replacement.
Council Member Kuether asked if the decrease in Resolution No. 96 - 13 means that
those dollars will be returned to General Fund. Mr. Tesch explained that this is a matter
of coding. Council Member Kuether asked if the decrease is the dollars left over after the
year ended. Mr. Tesch said yes. Council Member Kuether said it appears that dollars are
"slushing" around in that budget. Council Member Bergeson explained that the items
dealing with the Park Board and Planning and Zoning Board identifies the expenditures
as stipends rather than salaries. Board members are not employees and do not have the
same privileges as employees. These items correct the accounting and get the dollars out
of the salary category. Council Member Bergeson said he was not sure about the other
items.
Council Member Kuether noted that there is an increase of $10,500.00 and a decrease of
$10,500.00 and wanted to know why. Council Member Bergeson explained this item.
Council Member Kuether said that she still had a question about the top three (3) items
listed in the resolution and asked that this matter be tabled to get further information.
Council Member Kuether moved to table Resolution No. 96 - 13 to the next Council
meeting and have an explanation for the next work session. Council Member Bergeson
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 14 Transferring Funds from Various Funds for
Corrections to the Country Lakes Estates Project - Mr. Tesch explained the purpose

ATTORNEY'S REPORT, BILL HAWKINS
Consideration of Resolution No. 96 -10 Determining the Necessity for and
Authorizing the Acquisition of Certain Property by Proceedings in Eminent
Domain, Centennial Middle School - Mr. Wessel showed a map of the proposed
roadway and explained that the design of the new Centennial School District middle
school on Elm Street and Fourth Avenue is well underway with the site work projected
for completion in the fall of this year. The City Engineer, with the concurrence of the
Centennial School District and adjacent landowners, has determined a road alignment as
being most beneficial to the City. Negotiations have been initiated with the two (2)
affected landowners to purchase the properties. Both parcels are undeveloped raw land
and both parties are interested in selling.
Resolution No. 96 - 10 authorizes a procedure for acquiring the property through Eminent
Domain, should good faith negotiations not be concluded within the next 90 days, and
therefore jeopardize the new middle school schedule. Centennial School Superintendent,
John McClellan will be before the Planning and Zoning Board on Wednesday, February
14, 1996 to present the building and site review as well as the rezoning request. Mr.
Wessel explained that the City has had a good working relationship with the School
District. He used a posterboard drawing to show where the new school will be located
and the proposed street configuration to serve the school. Mr. Wessel said that
negotiations have been initiated with the two (2) property owners for street right-of-way.
The property owners have indicated willingness to sell the land. The property is raw land
and nobody will be displaced.
Mr. Hawkins said that he will file the eminent domain petition pursuant to state statute
and Resolution No. 96 - 10. The City will have the right to possession in 90 days. Since
the property owners are willing to sell the land, the only reason that the eminent domain
process will go forward is if the City and the landowners cannot come to a reasonable
conclusion regarding the selling price of the land.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 10 as presented. Council
Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 96 - 10 can be found at the end of these minutes.
OLD BUSINESS
Consideration of Using a Consent Agenda - Mr. Tesch explained that there has been
some interest in using a consent agenda for the regular Council meetings. A consent
agenda tends to speed up a meeting by placing items that are not controversial or do not
need discussion at the beginning of the meeting on the consent agenda. Council Member
PAGE 23
r
i
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Kuether explained that the Council had been using a consent agenda but found that many
of the items on the consent agenda had to be removed for various reasons. She did feel if
the items on the consent agenda are "clean" items, it does speed up the meeting.
However, there will always be circumstances where an item will have to be removed for
further discussion.
Council Member Lyden asked if there should be some baseline criteria such as all
Council Members would have to attend the Council work session where the item was
fully discussed. Council Member Kuether explained that when a Council Member is
reviewing his packet for the upcoming meeting and finds an item on the consent agenda
that he/she does not understand, that Council Member should call the appropriate staff
member at city hall and get a clarification. This would eliminate the need to remove the
item from the consent agenda.
Mr. Tesch suggested that the City Council try using a consent agenda for a month and if
it appears that it is not working, the consent agenda can be eliminated. Council Member
Bergeson noted that the City Council always has the power to amend the agenda so if
there is an item on the consent agenda that needs further discussion, that item can be
removed and placed elsewhere on the agenda. Council Member Lyden said that a consent
agenda may give the Council more time to talk about an issue that needs added
discussion.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the consent agenda should be reinstated.
Council Member Neal moved to continue the Council meeting until all business is
completed. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Selecting a Date for Interviewing Board Applicants - Mr. Tesch explained that
advertisement for board members was again placed in the February 20th local newspaper.
The deadline for responding to the ad is February 29, 1996. He suggested that the City
Council interview each applicant on March 6, 1996 which is the regularly scheduled work
session. Council Member Bergeson said that the work sessions are typically two (2) or
three (3) hours long and based on interviews in the past, they have taken a considerable
amount of time. He asked if interviews should be scheduled for another date. Mr. Tesch
explained that last year interviews were scheduled for 7:00 P.M. on the evening of the
work session. This meant that the City Council had to complete the work session
meeting by 7:00 P.M.
Council Member Lyden said that it is his understanding that the deadline for submitting
applications for the boards has been extended because there were not enough applicants
for the vacant positions. He asked what is the magic number. Council Member Kuether
said that this has happened in the past because the advertisements were placed during the
holiday season. She said that the City Council should make sure that anyone wishing to
apply for a position is aware of the deadline.
PAGE 24
CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996
Mayor Landers requested that the Council work session be structured to accommodate the
interviews beginning at 6:30 P.M. or 6:00 P.M. if possible and notify each candidate
about interview time.
