SOLID WASTE REPORT, JACKIE CONSTANT Ms. Constant reviewed that the City formed a Solid Waste Advisory Committee in January of 1996 to evaluate the current solid waste collection system and investigate organized collection. In March of 1996, the Council adopted a Resolution of "Intent to Organize Collection" which began a 90 -day planning process. She noted the City adopted four (4) goals to be achieved by going to a system of organized collection that included; limited truck traffic, uniform schedule of collection, expanded recycling program, and limited hours of operation. Also, a City-wide survey was conducted last year with 54% of the residents surveyed favoring organized collection. The City then held a public hearing on November 20, 1996, to receive public input. Ms. Constant explained that following several meetings, the City of Lino Lakes and licensed collectors have been unable to agree on an organized collection system. The Solid Waste Advisory Committee is asking the Council to adopt a resolution to direct the preparation of an ordinance organizing residential solid waste collection in the City and amending existing Ordinance No. 507. Council Member Bergeson asked how long will this process take to implement. Ms. Constant noted the date for contractor license renewal and advised the first and second reading will take place prior to June. Council Member Kuether noted the Council has dealt with this issue for several years and she now supports approval due to the need to address roadreconstruction issues which are currently under discussion with the Charter Commission. She.commented on steps taken by the City to keep heavy construction vehicles off City streets in the spring and thanked staff for their work on this issue. Page 2 • • COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 22. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Neal voting no. Resolution No. 97- 22 can be found at the end of these minutes. CONSIDERATION OF GRANT OFFICERS, CHIEF PECCHIA Police Chief Pecchia explained that commencing in 1995, the Clinton Administration adopted a new program entitled "COPS FAST" which promised to put 100,000 new community police officers on America's streets. He further explained this program awards grants to law enforcement agencies to fund the hiring of law enforcement officers which then allows police departments to expand the size of their force and community policing in their city. Police Chief Pecchia explained that the Lino Lakes Police Department has been selected to receive grant funds in the amount of $150,000 (over a period of three (3) years, 1997 through 1999) to hire two (2) officers. He reviewed calculations and estimated revenues from other sources in the event the grant is not received and anticipated number of police hours needed. Police Chief Pecchia explained the Patrol Workload Computation Worksheet and the Officer Availability Worksheet indicates the need for five (5) additional officers in 1997. However, due to the current status of the available financial resources, only two (2) additional officers are being requested. If approved, they will be hired by June. He reviewed the types of activities and coverage to be provided by these positions. Police Chief Pecchia stated he anticipates Lino Lake will continue to grow and this is one way to finance the anticipated needs for the City to the year 2000. He recommended the Council accept the grant funds. Council Member Kuether inquired regarding the ratio of police officers to residents. Police Chief Pecchia advised the ratio will be at more than one officer per one thousand residents. He clarified this ratio is not based on crime but, rather, on Lino Lakes' labor intensive community policing philosophy. Council Member Kuether noted there is less than a 4% increase in revenues but a 20% increase in wages to the year 2000, which may not include annual raises. Police Chief Pecchia explained the numbers are factored in contracts which have been settled but not forthe year 2000. He explained with the additional building and valuation increase being anticipated, additional tax dollars may be available. However, if the grants are not requested or turned down, they will not be available next year. Council Member Kuether pointed out that in the last two (2) years, the Police Department has increased from 9 officers to 17 which is quite an increase. She understands the need for police but she believes the community is relatively safe and the Council has to address all issues. Police Chief Pecchia commented on the need to remain proactive. Council Member Kuether expressed concern about the proposed budget increase and the anticipation there will be an increase for more police officers between now and the year 2000. Police Chief Pecchia stated he was very conservative in his revenue estimates. Page 3 COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 Council Member Bergeson commented that two (2) additional officers between now and the year 2000 seems like something that probably would be happening with or without a grant. He stated he looks at this not as two (2) officers beyond what would otherwise be hired but, rather, funding for two officers which would be needed anyway and the grant will allow hiring earlier than may otherwise be possible. He stated he shares Council Member Kuether's concern about additional cost and funding when the grant is over but believes the grant will help fund the position sooner than if the grant is not received. Council Member Neal moved to accept "COPS FAST" grant funds in the amount of $150,000. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND/AL BRIXIUS Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Provide MUSA Designation for Century -Farms Development - North Side of Lilac Street - Mr. Brixius reviewed the history of this project. He stated it was determined the cost of utilities would be borne by the developer, however, the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) is not available at this location. Now, the applicant wishes to pursue MUSA extension over the balance of his property. When previously considered, the Metropolitan Council said the freeway ramps were functioning beyond capacity and before MUSA could be considered, those traffic issues would need to be addressed. Mr. Brixius explained that Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. (NAC) prepared a report and said the City is not in a position to respond to the needed improvements at this intersection from a capital improvement standpoint. He explained staff met with Mr. Uhde and found that Century Development was agreeable to fronting the dollars needed to provide a traffic light at the problematic intersection (exit ramp adjoining Fina/Oasis). The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the request and Mr. Uhde's financing proposal and recommend approval of the request to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to include Century Farm Development within the MUSA. He read the motion which was unanimously supported by the Planning & Zoning Board and the two (2) additional conditions he recommended to be included. Council Member Bergeson inquired regarding the number of acres to be added to MUSA. Mr. Brixius advised it would be based on net buildable of 48.4 acres. It was noted the 25 acres of the first phase are already included within MUSA. Council Member Bergeson noted the actual area not previously considered is quite small. Mr. Brixius agreed it is not a large amount of property and noted the condition that if it is approved, utilities will need to be extended. Council Member Lyden stated his support for having policies and procedures in place prior to consideration. He stated it would have been nice if MYJSA had been put into place prior to consideration of the preliminary plat and rezoning request. Mr. Brixius concurred and stated he shares those concerns. He noted there are a lot of forthcoming expenses in this area needed to address traffic and other issues, and the developer has agreed to pay for the cost of the traffic light. Page 4 • COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the request to amend the City's Comprehensive Plan to include Century Farms Development within the MUSA which included 99.9 gross/48.4 net acres located north of Lilac Street between Sunset Road and Fourth Avenue, and including the four lots on Lilac Street and Laurie Avenue as approved by the Planning and Zoning Board at the January meeting; with a financing plan for the traffic signal at the northbound ramp of I -35W and CSAH 23. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Lyden voting no. Mayor Landers announced that he will excuse himself from the meeting at this time and called for a recess at 7:08 P.M. Mayor Pro Tem Bergeson called the meeting back to order at 7:21 P.M. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 97 - 23, SUPPORTING ANOKA COUNTY REGIONAL PARK TRAIL SYSTEM, MARTY ASLESON Mr. Asleson explained the proposed resolution supports Anoka County's effort in establishing a multi -use trails in the regional park from Aqua Lane north to the Wargo Nature Center, along the west side of George Watch Lake, through the national Trail Grant Program. He noted the City has also asked Anoka County for their support of the City's grant request. Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 23. Council Member Neal • seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. • Resolution No. 97- 23 can be found at the end of these minutes. CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT REPORT, CHIEF BENNETT Presentation of the 1996 Annual Report - Fire Chief Bennett presented the Centennial Fire District 1996 Annual Report. He explained the highlights for 1996 including safety education at four (4) elementary schools and the topics covered with students in conjunction with the Police Department. Fire Chief Bennett reported on the National Night Out activities which provided an opportunity to talk with residents. He reviewed the types of classes and programs presented and made available to residents of Lino Lakes. Fire Chief Bennett informed the Council about the involvement with the Anoka County Juvenile Task Force and the third annual Safety Camp. Fire Chief Bennett explained that, for the first time, they worked with the Lino Lakes Citizen Academy to conduct a five-week program to explained the roles of the Fire and Police Departments. Twelve people participated in this program last year and they plan to offer it again this year. He reviewed the types of inspections conducted at 216 commercial businesses and plan review of new buildings. Fire Chief Bennett reviewed types of in-house personnel training which they believe to be critical to the success of firefighters. He also commented on several management classes which were hosted on leadership. Fire Chief Bennett explained the total calls for 1996 increased to 889 from 729 calls in 1995, which represents an increase of 18%. Ile commented on the carbon monoxide Page 5 COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 alarms which increased significantly in 1996 and advised they will continue to work on the reduction of false carbon monoxide alarms. Fire Chief Bennett reported medical calls grew slightly and explained the changes made to the way the Fire Department responds to calls. He said these changes were made based on their experiences and in an effort to make work safer for firefighters as well as citizens. Fire Chief Bennett reported they had four (4) major structure fires where the buildings were a total loss, three single-family homes and one commercial building. Also, there was one injury (minor) to a citizen who was welding on a vehicle gas tank which exploded. Fire Chief Bennett reported there are 50 firefighters who work on a paid for call basis. Five (5) firefighters left the Fire Department and seven (7) have been added, all of which have completed the 140 hour firefighter course as well as 40 hour medical course. Four (4) of the seven (7) new people are available for day time calls. He reviewed the reorganization which was done in the Fire Marshal's area, training staff, and advised that the present level of 50 firefighters is adequate. Fire Chief Bennett then reviewed the changes in equipment during 1996 and explained that two (2) watercraft vehicles were tried but found they do not provide what is needed for water rescue so they will be returned. Fire Chief Bennett commented on the status of the pension plan. Council Member Lyden asked about the water rescue vehicles. Fire Chief Bennett explained they already have a rubber -inflatable boat which they feel does a better job than the personal watercraft (which are being returned). Fire Chief Bennett then presented and narrated a short five-minute video presentation of the most recently held Safety Camp held on August 1, 1996. He explained this video will be used to advertise the next Camp. No action is required by the Council. Consideration of the Centennial Fire District Proposed 1998 Budget - Fire Chief Bennett presented the proposed 1998 budget for the Centennial Fire District. He explained that per the Joint Powers Agreement, this budget is presented earlier than other City budgets. This budget has been reviewed by the Centennial Steering Committee and they recommend it be presented to the various city councils. He noted some areas include no increases while others indicate an increase. Fire Chief Bennett advised of the proposed increase and rationale in the following areas: rescue calls due to increase in number of calls, inspection wages since new businesses efforts are increasing and will minimize fire loss, fire prevention wages, medical supplies, part- time secretary salary adjustment, district chief salary,increase, payroll taxes and benefits to reflect wage increase. He explained the proposed budget reflects just under a 2% increase over the 1997 budget. This budget will still allow lowering the cost per citizen. Page 6 • • COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 Council Member Kuether asked about the percentage of funding. Fire Chief Bennett advised it is at 63% in 1997. Council Member Kuether moved to accept the 1998 budget for the Centennial Fire District. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND/AL BRIXIUS - CONTINUED First Reading, Ordinance No. 03 - 97, donating Lot 4, Block 3, Lexington Park Lakeview to Project for Pride in Living - Ms. Wyland said the City has been asked by Project for Pride in Living to donate a parcel of property to their organization for the purpose of moving a home onto the site and offering it for sale to a "moderate -income" first-time home buyer. Project for Pride in Living is a non-profit organization assisting low- and moderate -income persons to become self-sufficient by addressing their job, housing, and neighborhood needs. Ms. Wyland noted that Lot 4, Block 3, Lexington Park Lakeview, is available for this purpose. This property is owned by the City and no longer needed for drainage purposes as determined by the City Engineer. She explained that donation of "the lot would add the property to the tax roles and place an "affordable" home on the market. She also noted the Council could consider the outright sale of this property or donate the lot to some other non-profit organization such as ACCAP or Habitat for Humanity. Mayor Pro Tem Bergeson suggested the rule of having a motion on the floor be suspended to allow additional discussion. He noted that prior discussion has not indicated support for this donation and, perhaps, the decision should be delayed for the purpose of review of the numbers and possibly making the home more affordable to a low-income family. Council Member Kuether stated the house would probably be for a moderate -income level home buyer rather than a low-income level. She asserted the City is being asked to donate a lot for a questionable purpose and stated she supports more research and would prefer other considerations. Council Member Lyden concurred and noted that "charity begins at home." He stated he supports research of other alternatives. Council Member Kuether moved to deny the request for donation. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Wyland asked if staff should pursue alternative uses for these two parcels of property. Council Member Kuether stated the Council was not aware of these two lots before tonight and suggested a discussion be held at a work session. Mr. Schumacher clarified there may only be one developable lot since the other may be needed for drainage. Page 7 COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 24, 1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL First Reading, Ordinance No. 04 - 97, Offering Sale of Properties in the Apollo Business Park - Mr. Wessel reported the proposed ordinance is required for the sale of two properties in the City -owned portion of the Apollo Business Park to Fogerty Investments who plans to purchase one 5.5 -acre property and one 1.63 -acre property for a total of 7.13 acres. Mr. Wessel explained that Mr. Fogerty plans to phase the construction of 82,000 square feet of leasable office/manufacturing space on the two (2) parcels. The price of the land is $39,000 per acre for a total of $278,070. Mr. Wessel advised this completes the sale of City -owned land in the Apollo Business Park. Council Member Kuether requested staff provide a report on the total amount of profit from this project. Council Member Kuether moved to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 04 - 97. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business. NEW BUSINESS Consideration of an Application for Authorization for an Exemption from Lawful Gambling License, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Marilyn Anderson - Ms. Anderson explained that non-profit organizations are allowed under the State Gambling Statutes to apply for an exemption from a gambling license if they conduct fewer than five gambling occasions per year. The St. Joseph's Catholic Church conducts three gambling occasions each year: the annual August Festival, one date near Thanksgiving, and the regular Easter event. Ms. Anderson explained the money raised during the Easter event helps pay for food baskets for the needy. She recommended approval of the requested exemption. Council Member Neal moved to approve an exemption from the Lawful Gambling License for St. Joseph's Catholic Church based on the rationale that they conduct fewer than five gambling occasions per year. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as follows: WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes has announced its intent to consider organized collection of solid waste pursuant to Minn. Stat. 4 115A.94; and WHEREAS, the City has followed the procedure outlined by the statute for the notice, planning and consideration of organized collection; and WHEREAS, the City Council, upon review of the information generated by the planning and consideration process, including input from the public, staff, haulers, and other. concerned persons; NOW, the City Council for the City of Lino Lakes makes the following: FINDING OAF FACT 1. By resolution number 96-31 adopted by the City Council on March 25, 1996, the City of Lino Lakes announced its intent to establish a system of organized collection of residential solid waste. The Resolution of Intent expressed many of the underlying concerns compelling the City of Lino Lakes to establish a system of organized collection of residential solid waste. 2. The City of Lino Lakes established a Lino Lakes Solid Waste Advisory Committee made up of city staff members and members of the Lino Lakes City Council, charter commission, organizations 'conducting hauling operations in the city, and other city residents. The Solid Waste Advisory Committee met and discussed the issue of organized collection within the city on various occasions, • • including February 13. 1996 and August 14, 1996. The issues discussed at the Solid Waste Advisory Committee meetings would in turn be communicated and discussed at city council meetings and work sessions. 3. The City Council directed the City Solid Waste Coordinator, Jackie Constant, to oversee the organized collection process. 4. Ms. Constant organized meetings held between herself and representatives of ail haulers currently doing business within the city. This included meetings held on September 18, 1996, October 1, 1996, December 10, 1996 and January 7, 1997. The issues and concerns discussed during the haulers' meetings were also conveyed to the city council at council meeting and work sessions. 5. The City of Lino Lakes announced as its goals to achieve through organized collection the following: a. Limited truck traffic; b. Uniform schedule of collection; c. Expanded program for recycling; and d. Limited hours of operation. 6. That the organized collection procedure followed by the city included a 90 -day planning period following adoption of the Resolution of Intent. 7. Through the efforts and review of the Solid Waste Coordinator, discussions and meetings held by the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, the haulers' meetings, and the city council work sessions, the city developed and considered proposals for organized collection. The City of Lino Lakes invited the assistance of all haulers licensed in the city in the planing process_ A representative of each licensed hauler participated to some extent in the planning process. 8. Following the 90-day planning period. the City of Lino Lakes continued to discuss organized collection proposals with licensed collectors. The proposals included a consortium system. a single contractor or bidding system, and multiple collector licensing system. 9. The City of Lino Lakes and the licensed collectors have been unable to agree on an organized collection method and more than ninety days have elapsed since the beginning of the discussion period. 10. That currently the City of Lino Lakes is served by five licensed haulers. One hauler serves approximately 80% of residents of the city. The remaining haulers serve the balance of the residents in the city. 11. That approximately 500 city households do not participate in the current system of solid waste collection. 12. That under the current system of solid waste collection, it is impossible for the city to know how many residents do not participate in any the process. 13. That under the current system each hauler charges a different rate and consequently city residents pay varying rates for solid waste collection. 14. That based upon a comparison of local communities, Lino Lakes residents pay higher rates for solid waste collection services than in other cities. 15. That the engineering firm of Braun Intertec undertook a study on the impact that garbage trucks have on city streets. The study concluded that the high level of truck traffic does have a destructive impact upon the streets resulting impact of the cost to the city to maintain the streets. 16, That under the city charter, the ability of the city to generate and spend revenue for street improvements is restricted. 17. That the city has received numerous resident complaints regarding the volume and nuisance of large garbage truck traffic. 18. That under the current system the types and volume of items picked up for recycling is not as great as desirable. 19. That a one hauler system would have minimal displacement of existing haulers. 20. That it Is believed that a change to a one hauler system through a public bidding process would result in lower rates for residents. Such a change would also result in uniform rates for city residents. 21. That a move to a one hauler system would better enable the city to ensure that all residents participate in the solid waste collection scheme. 22. That a move to a one hauler system would better enable the city to control the volume of truck traffic though establishment of set schedules thereby reducing the need and cost of street maintenance. 23. That a move to a one hauler system would enable the city to enhance the recycling program in the city. 24. That a move to a one hauler system would reduce truck traffic and therefore would result in greater traffic safety for resident vehicles and pedestrians. 25. That a move to a one hauler system would reduce traffic thereby increasing the aesthetic quality of city neighborhoods. 26. That no haulers currently have their physical businesses located in the city. That none of the haulers have permanent facilities in the city. 27. That the city and the majority Of the haulers have not been able to agree as to the manner of organized collection. • 28. That all interested persons, including licensed haulers, have had notice and an adequate opportunity to participate in the planning and discussion of • organized collection and that a public hearing was held on November 20, 1996 at which the City Council received input from the public on the project. 29. That under the current system licenses are issued for ore year and all licenses expire on June 1 of each year. 30. That a move to a single hauler system would provide the city with greater control over solid waste collection. 31. That Ordinance No. 507 currently establishes a licensing system for residential haulers and commercial haulers. That adoption of a one hauler system will require a substantial amending of Ordinance 507 as it relates to residential solid waste collection. 32. That it is anticipated that the one hauler system would become effective and commence on January 1, 1998. That it will be necessary to extend • 1996-1997 licenses for a period of six months thereby extending the termination dates for said licenses to December 31, 1997. From the foregoing, the City Council now makes the following: NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That in regulating the collection of solid waste the city acts within its authority to consider the interest of public health, safety, welfare and good order. 2. That the adoption of a one hauler system for the collection of residential solid waste through a public bidding process serves the health, safety, welfare and good order of the public. • • • • 3. That city staff shall prepare for review and adoption an ordinance establishing a single hauler system for the collection of solid waste to be established through the public bidding process. 4. That city staff shall prepare an amendment to Ordinance 507 making the terms of Ordinance 507 consistent with the terms of the new ordinance to be prepared herewith and providing that licenses Issued to residential haulers for the year 1996-1997 shall be extended past the existing termination date of June 30 to a new termination date of December 31, 1997. Adopted by the Council of the City this 24th day of February, 1997.
