In summary, he indicated that 402 randomly - selected residents within the community were contacted and asked a variety of questions regarding the quality of life in Lino Lakes. The following community trends were clearly evidenced in this survey research: 1. City quality of life ratings were very solid in comparison with other Metropolitan Area suburban communities. Rural ambience and open space, location, and peacefulness were key positive attributes, while high taxes and high growth rates were a major negative. As residents look to the future, there was concern expressed about both growth and development, as well as property taxes. 2. City services were generally well-regarded. In one area, however, park and recreational facilities, residents were more critical, particularly about the limited nature of offerings. At present, a moderate property tax increase would be supported by a majority of residents for two purposes: Completion of the neighborhood park system and/or expansion of the trail system. 3. Residents were very concerned about property taxes in this study, a common finding in other studies across the Metropolitan Area. But even so, they proved supportive of certain increases for specific purposes: A new teen recreation program director and an appropriate -sized community center. 4. Mayor and City Council ratings, as well as City Staff ratings, were among the highest in the metropolitan Area suburbs. Customer service ratings were very high among those who had contacted or visited City Hall and/or had knowledge about government activities. 5. Public safety issues were not as salient in Lino lakes as in other communities. Residential crime was the overwhelming key public safety concern. In fact, a majority felt property crimes had increased in the community during the past five years. In light of current attitudes, an aggressive organizational effort of Neighborhood Watch programs would be met with substantial residential interest. 6. Development preferences were clear within the residential sample. A quality restaurant and/or family -style restaurant led the list of priorities. A grocery store, walking trails, and retail stores rounded out the general consensus. Neighborhood commercial centers also enjoyed wide support. 7. The City, while doing a good job presently, needed to revisit its communications efforts. In particular, cable television programming should be updated and made more user- friendly. Additionally, the City may wish to proceed on the design of a web site for computer -literate residents. However, in light of the general popularity and effectiveness 4 • COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 of the city newsletter, funds should not be diverted from this excellent publication to undertake more experimental ways of communicating with the public. Overall, residents were satisfied with their quality of life in the community, their neighborhoods, their sense of safety, and their empowerment. However, the impact of growth was being negatively experienced in the present as well as dreaded for the future. At the same time, residents were especially sensitive to property tax increases. The ultimate challenge facing City decision -makers will be the maintenance of its well-regarded services at reasonable costs during times of stress caused by the demands of community growth. UPDATE ON SEPTIC SYSTEM ORDINANCE, PETER KLUEGEL Mr. Kluegel explained that on July 22, 1996 Council adopted Ordinance No. 08 - 96 amending Chapter 403 of the individual sewer treatment systems with respect to inspection and pumping of on-site septic systems. Because of its impact on the health and welfare of the community, the City Building Department is using various media to inform and update the public with respect to details of this important Ordinance, which goes into effect March 1, 1997. The Newsletter will include an article and cable television Channel 16 has been televising this ordinance in its entirety. Mr. Kluegel stated that after January 1, 1997, notices will be sent to residents who have on-site septic systems concerning cleaning and pumping of septic tanks. A second mailing will take place if there is not sufficient response to the first mailing. Council Member Bergeson asked if the companies currently used for local septic tank pumping are qualified to do the inspections required by the Ordinance. Mr. Kluegel responded that they are certified to do such inspections. Mr. Schumacher asked about the administrative impact of implementing the suggested process. Mr. Kluegel stated that the main administrative concern would be the volume of mailings that would be required, and keeping track of how many on-site residences would need to participate. PUBLIC HEARING, 6:30 P.M. I-35W/TH 49 INTERCHANGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AREA TRUNK UTILITIES, DAVID AHRENS Mr. Ahrens explained that on October 28, 1996 Council accepted the feasibility report and called for a public hearing for the 35W/49 Interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utility Project. The proposed project will provide water and sanitary sewer service to the property south of 35W adjacent to Lake Drive. The proper notices have been mailed and published notifying property owners of the public hearing pursuant to State Statutes. Mr. Ahrens stated that this interchange has received a lot of interest from developers for construction of commercial and light industrial businesses. He added that the City is currently COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 studying the concept of developing a Town Center at the southeast quadrant of the 35W/49 interchange. It is necessary that water main and sanitary sewer be extended to serve the properties on the south side of 35W in order for the commercial and light industrial projects to move ahead. Mr. Ahrens described the proposed improvements as follows: The proposed improvements include the construction of approximately 4,400 feet of sanitary sewer and water main. Construction will start at the south end of the utility jacking under 35W to be completed by the Centennial Middle School Utility Project. The utilities will extend north along the south side of 35W and the Oasis gas station to the west side of Lake Drive. The utilities are sized appropriately to accommodate ultimate development of the properties in this area. With respect to financing, Mr. Ahrens offered the following: The estimated costs for the project are outlined in the feasibility report and are summarized below. The costs include a 10% contingency allowance and a 30% allowance for engineering, legal and financing costs. Improvement Amount Sanitary Sewer $329,200 Water Main $253,300 Total $582,500 Project financing will follow the City of Lino Lakes policy on financing public improvements. Trunk costs, including over sizing of pipes and extra depth construction, are proposed to be funded by the City through the Area and Unit Fund. The remaining costs are proposed to be funded by special assessments to benefiting properties. The following is a summary of funding sources for the proposed project: Funding Source Special Assessments Area and Unit Funds Total Amount $495,300 $ 87,200 $582,500 Mr. Ahrens added that assessments to benefiting properties are proposed for this project according to City Charter and State Statute. The proposed project is located in a portion of the City that is exempt from the Charter. All public improvements in the subject area are subject to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. Homesteads that exist in this area can petition against the proposed improvements and delay any special assessments to their property until such time that the property is no longer residential or until the property owner connects to the utilities. Each of the three property owners that reside in this area has been contacted and it is expected that they will sign a petition prior to the public hearing. Assessments are proposed at the following rates: 6 COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 Sanitary Sewer Area Charge Water Main Area Charge $1,983 per acre $2,114 per acre Additional connection fees will be charged as properties develop. Mr. Ahrens presented the proposed schedule for the project as follows: Public Hearing Council Orders Project Council Approves Plans Council Authorizes Ad for Bids Bid Opening Council Awards Bid Construction Begins Substantial Completion November 25, 1996 November 25, 1996 January 23, 1997 February 18, 1997 February 13, 1997 February 24, 1997 April 7, 1997 June 2, 1997 Mr. Ahrens pointed out that the project could not be ordered at this meeting due to the absence of two Council members. However, he indicated that a brief delay of the project should still keep completion within two weeks of schedule. Mayor Landers asked who petitioned against the project. Mr. Ahrens stated that the property owners are the Skoglunds. Mr. Wessel indicated that the overall intent of this project is to respond to the needs of area property owners as well as the City Council's commitment to commercial economic development as a priority. The subject area is predominately zoned commercial, and this is an effort to extend utilities to make development possible in 1997. Council Member Bergeson asked if the homes on Marchan Lane are out of the subject area. Mr. Ahrens responded yes. Mr. Wessel pointed out that the Funkhauser property, although on Marchan Lane, is also out of the area. Mayor Landers opened the public hearing at 8:32 P.M. Ron Solfest, 162 Egreet Lane asked where replacement funding would come from should certain property owners opt out of the assessment process. Mr. Ahrens explained that those who could opt out of the assessment process represent a very minimal amount of the overall funding source. Additionally, unit charges would account for additional funds as development occurs. COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 Sharon Lane, 532 77th Street, asked about the area not under Charter provisions. Mr. Wessel explained that certain business development district property is subject to Statute 429 to allow for assessment to commercial and light industrial areas that could not take place under the City Charter. Bernardine Skoglund, 7481 Lake Drive, asked why the parcel on which her home is located was the only residential property assessed. Mr. Ahrens explained that the parcel on which the home is located is the only parcel that directly fronts the area where the improvements will be installed. Council Member Bergeson asked how the Tagg property would be effected by the proposed project. Mr. Ahrens explained that one parcel of the Tagg's property qualifies for assessment while the other does not. Council Member Neal moved to close the public hearing at 8:43 P.M. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDING THE 1996 BUDGET, RESOLUTION NO. 96 -153, RANDY SCHUMACHER/MARY VASKE Ms. Vaske explained that since the time the 1996 budget was adopted in December of 1995, certain changes have occurred which require amendment of the budget with respect to certain items pursuant to Resolution No. 96 - 153. Mr. Schumacher added that the changes include salary adjustments, capital equipment and special studies requested by Council. Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 153, as presented. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 96 - 153 can be found at the end of these minutes. Setting of Date for Special Council Meeting to Consider Ordering I-35W/TH 49 Interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities Since two Council members were absent from this meeting, following discussion among Councilmembers in attendance it was decided to call a special Council meeting either on Wednesday, November 27, 1996 or, in the alternative, Monday, December 2, 1996, for the purpose of voting on ordering this project. Upon polling those absent, the meeting date will be formally announced.

The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed a similar request in 1995 for a small equipment building and two satellite antennas. In fact, overall the City has reviewed seven conditional use permits for this site since 1984. x • COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 Ms. Wyland explained that according to the Zoning Ordinance, transmission towers and other similar towers up to 55 feet in height are permitted uses. Towers between 55 feet and 200 feet are permitted with a conditional use permit. Additionally, any time there is a change or alteration to an existing conditional use permit, an amendment is required. The property in question is zoned Rural and indicated as such on the City's land use map. The subject parcel of property contains approximately 120 acres and is owned by WCCO Inc.

Proper building permits shall be obtained prior to construction. 2. Criteria outlined in Resolution No. 10 - 91 shall be made a part of this permit. (Resolution 10 - 91 was adopted by the City in response to a previous amended conditional use permit for this property) including enhancement of the landscaping plan to further screen the facility from adjoining properties. This plan shall be subject to review and approval by the City Forester. Staff recommended approval of the amended conditional use permit including the conditions listed above. Council Member Bergeson asked if a 4/5ths vote is required for this action. Ms. Wyland responded no. Council Member Neal moved to approve the amended conditional use permit for Teleport Minnesota, with the conditions presented. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 149, Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the I-35W/TH 49 Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities - Mr. Ahrens explained this item will be addressed of the special Council meeting on Wednesday, November 27, 1996 or Monday, December 2, 1996.

Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 151, Receiving Report and Calling Hearing on the Otter Lake Service Road Street Improvements - Mr. Ahrens used the overhead projector and showed the location of the Otter Lake Service Road street and utility improvements. He noted that the Clearwater Creek Development Area continues to receive interest from business owners COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 to construct industrial and commercial sites. Recently, Staff reviewed a proposal to construct an Amoco station with attached restaurant at the corner of Main Street and Otter Lake Road. The location of this proposal necessitates the construction of road and utilities to serve the site and other undeveloped property in the area. This work is proposed to be completed under the same contract as the Otter Lake Road realignment project planned for next Spring. Mr. Ahrens explained that the City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility report at the October 28, 1996 regular Council meeting. The report has been completed by the City's engineering consultant TKDA, Inc. In accordance with Minnesota State Statute 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 is scheduled for the December 16, 1996 Council meeting. Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 96 - 151 as recommended by Mr. Ahrens. Council member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 96 - 151 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Approval of Drainage Study - Mr. Ahrens explained that Staff requested a proposal from SEH, Inc. to conduct a drainage study of the northwest corner of the City. The purpose of the drainage study is to provide information for identifying possible improvements to the drainage system that should be undertaken (such as ditch cleaning, culvert repair or replacement). This study is designated as a high priority task item in the City's Water Management Plan due to known existing drainage problems and past problems with the ditch system. The cost of the drainage study is for a not -to -exceed amount of $9,200.00 and will be funded by the Surface Water Management Fund. This fund is supported by charges to developments in the City. Council Member Bergeson noted that the City Council has already ordered a drainage study of adjacent areas and asked Mr. Ahrens if doing this area at the same time as the adjacent areas will save the City money. Mr. Ahrens said there is usually a cost savings when two or more projects are studied at the same time. Council Member Neal moved to approve the drainage study as proposed by Mr. Ahrens. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS - None. NEW BUSINESS Discussion of Tentative Offer to New Receptionist, Randy Schumacher - Mr. Schumacher explained that City Staff has recently completed the search process to fill the vacant position of City Hall receptionist. Over 200 applications were received for this opening, making the selection process somewhat longer than normal. Using a point value selection criteria, the pool was reduced to a group of fifteen candidates for personal interview. After a second interview 10 COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 was completed on the top five candidates, the interview committee recommended Ms. Carri Villella for the position of City Hall receptionist. Her starting date would be December 12, 1996, and would be considered probationary for six months. Ms. Villella would start at Step I of the pay plan for that position. Staff recommended that Ms. Villella be hired effective December 12, 1996. Council Member Bergeson asked if this individual is the same one currently occupying that position on a temporary basis. Mr. Schumacher responded yes. Council Member Neal asked if there is presently an eligibility list. Mr. Schumacher explained that a list of the top four remaining candidates would be retained for use in the event there is an issue with Ms. Villella. Mayor Landers asked if a portion of the probationary period could be waived since Ms. Villella has occupied the position for some time on a temporary basis. Mr. Schumacher indicated that Ms. Villella has thus far been employed on a contract basis and that, according to personnel policy, she must be employed by the City for the full six months in order to satisfy the probationary requirement. Council Member Neal moved to hire Carri Villella as the receptionist starting December 12, 1996. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Council Member Bergeson asked why the offer would be effective December 16, 1996. Mr. Schumacher explained that Ms. Villella needs the interim in which to provide notice to her current employer. Motion carried unanimously. Christmas Lights Contest, Council Member Neal - Council Member Neal requested that Lino Lakes have a Christmas lights contest with the Park Department arrange for judging with first, second and third prizes totaling $100. Council Member Bergeson asked if the Park Department would recommend approval of such an activity. Council Member Neal responded yes, and that the Park Department would present a formal proposal at a subsequent Council meeting. Mayor Landers expressed concern about fire issues. Disbursements - Mayor Landers asked for questions regarding the disbursements represented by checks 46072 through 46178, totaling $241,865.67. Council Member Neal questioned a bill for $12,437.19 for a special investigator and lawyer to investigate the City. Council Member Neal expressed opposition to payment of this fee because COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 the Charter states that only the Mayor and two Council Members can order an investigation. In this case the City Attorney and one Council Member decided. Council Member Neal indicated his approval of the balance of the disbursements contained in the list of disbursements recommended for approval. Council Member Bergeson suggested that the above item be removed from the complete list of disbursements recommended for approval. Council Member Bergeson stated that he believes the resulting report is incomplete. Council Member Neal asked about additional charges due for this item. Mayor Landers verified that the current bill is not final. Mr. Hawkins explained that the Mayor and two Council Members are not required by the Charter to approve the ordering of such an investigation. He added that based upon his determination that probable cause existed for an investigation, he obtained a referral of an attorney qualified to conduct such an investigation and report to Mr. Hawkins whether or not additional information could be obtained. This individual reported that there was a complaint which extended beyond the City employee to Council members. Based upon that information, Mr. Hawkins reported same to the City Administrator. After the investigation was underway, he Hawkins notified Mayor Landers and Council met with the investigator to review preliminary reports. Mr. Hawkins stated that the investigation was necessary and that the bill is valid and should be paid. He also added there was an obligation on the part of the City to conduct such an investigation. Council Member Bergeson stated that the investigator was to perform a two-part function: There was to be a workplace investigation, as well as suggested options for. Council action based upon the report. In Council Member Bergeson's opinion, the report as it exists is incomplete until the investigator's suggested options are presented to Council in writing. Council Member Bergeson agrees that it is not appropriate to pay the investigator's charges until the entire assignment has been completed. Council Member Bergeson moved that the proposed payment to Leonard, Street and Deihnart of $12,437.19 be tabled for further discussion, and that the remainder of the disbursements be approved. Mayor Landers agreed that the report is incomplete. Mr. Hawkins asked if the investigator's reference to "approaches to remedial action" was the information now being requested to complete this assignment. Council Member Bergeson responded yes, adding that with regard to personnel matters, complete data in writing should be provided. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 12 COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 25, 1996 ADJOURN Council Member Neal moved to adjourn at 9:22 P.M. Council motion. Motion carried unanimously.
