OPEN MIKE
Joel Tagg, 7504 Lake Drive, Lino Lakes appeared under open mike to discuss his property entry
easement. He referred to the information he received at the last Council meeting regarding the
proposed closing of his easement. Mr. Tagg referred to a letter he sent to each Council member.
Mr. Tagg explained that back in the early 70's there was a trade for approximately 217,000
square feet, approximately five (5) acres, for an eighth of an acre, or 17,000 square feet, of
easement into his 28 acres. Mr. Tagg referred to the value of this easement to him, not so much
in terms of financial as the right to use his easement as it sits today.
Mr. Tagg stated Roger Butler of Anoka County Highway Department has informed him the
County has recommended his easement be closed upon completion of the commercial
development of the Village Project. Mr. Butler also pointed out that Mr. Tagg is currently not a
part of the City's project. Mr. Tagg was also informed the City refers to Mr. Tagg's driveway as
a road; it is not a road, it is his driveway. He was told a driveway is harder to close off than a
road and that is what the City is trying to do. Mr. Tagg stated he was also informed he could
develop his property since he is a separate entity and the easement would have to remain as long
as he was not connected to the City's project.
Mr. Tagg stated Mr. Wessel's response to any concern or question raised regarding his property
or Arctic Sandblasting, is "the City doesn't need you, stay as long as you like, and we'll build
around you." Mr. Tagg pointed out he has over -length, over -height and over -width trucks
coming into his business and asked if the City want them coming in the boulevard and coming
across to his property. This would turn the road into a temporary access which at any time could
be changed. Mr. Tagg said he does not believe this is right.
RECYCLING DEPARTMENT, JACKIE CONSTANT
FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 08 - 97, Repealing Section 507, and Replacing Section
507 with Ordinance No. 08 - 97, Solid Waste Organized Collection - Ms. Constant explained
the Council passed a resolution at the February 24, 1997, Council Meeting instructing Staff to
prepare an ordinance to establish organized collection. This resolution enabled the Solid Waste
Advisory Committee and interested parties, including the licensed haulers to prepare an
ordinance to establish an efficient collection system.
Council Member Kuether asked if the ordinance was the actual contract between the hauler and
the City or does ordinance this give permission to enter into a contact. Ms. Constant replied this
is the organized collection ordinance, it does not address the contract.

The celebration activities include representatives from various organizations throughout the
Quad City's. Part of the activities include the reading of the Proclamation for Earth Day. Mayor
Landers read the proclamation. Ms. Constant asked the Council to approve the Earth Day
Proclamation.
Council Member Neal referred to calls he.has received inquiring if the medallion is in a County
Park. Ms. Constant replied she does not know where it is but it is not in a City Park and also
indicated the next clue will probably give away its' location.

seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
The Earth Day Proclamation can be found at the end of these minutes.
CONSIDERATION OF BUILDING OFFICIALS REPORT FOR THE FIRST
QUARTER, 1997, PETE KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel reviewed the first quarter building report which included a summary of building
permits issued through the first quarter of 1997; summary of 1996 building activity; a breakdown
of commercial, industrial and institutional permits; and, a 1997 lot inventory. Mr. Kluegel
requested the Council approve the First Quarter Building Report.
Council Member Kuether asked what the charges are for the septic inspections. Mr. Kluegel
responded the compliance inspections run around $100.
Mr. Wessel commented on how helpful this information is. He stated the next quarter, from a
industrial and commercial perspective, is going to be a good one.
Council Member Neal said he accompanied Mr. Kluegel on a call today and it was a pleasure to
work with him and he was very appreciative of his work.

COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
Mayor Landers asked if there have been any failing systems reported since the septic tank
pumping program started. Mr. Kluegel stated there have been some tanks that have cracked and
two septic failures to date. Council Member Kuether asked if a record is being kept of this. Mr.
Kluegel responded yes. Mayor Landers asked if these cases are repairable or will City sewer and
water be available to them. Mr. Kluegel responded in one situation City utilities will probably
not be in the area for a quite awhile, but in the other case, utilities are very close to being placed
there.
Council Member Neal explained that there is financing available to replace failing for septic
systems.
Council Member Kuether commented on the number of building sites still available and what has
been selling. She stated it appears residential lots are needed in the lower price range similar to
Behms Century Farm. Mayor Landers asked what are the value of homes in the Behms Century
Farm Development. Mr. Kluegel stated $120,000 to $125,000 is the average price. These homes
have been very popular.
Mr. Schumacher inquired since the Metropolitan Council requires the City to participant in the
septic system pumping program, is there any outside help to inform the public of this program.
Mr. Kluegel said there are programs available to educate the people. Council Member Kuether
asked Mr. Schumacher if he referring to informing the people the decision was made by the
Metropolitan Council, not the City Council. Mr. Schumacher replied yes, the people should
know this was not a City Council program, but initiated by the Metropolitan Council.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the Building Officials Report for the First Quarter,
1997. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
Design Review Committee. Using overheads, Ms. Wyland presented the changes recommended
by the Review Committee in regards to the building.
Ms. Wyland requested the Council approve the Interim Use Permit for the Golf Driving Range
with the conditions outlined by the Town Center Design Review Committee.
Mr. Wessel added, a suggestion was made that instead of a straight five (5) year interim use
period, a three (3) year with a two (2) year extension and yearly options after that be proposed.
Council Member Neal inquired if the building will be removable. Ms. Wyland stated yes.
Council Member Neal asked if the building could then be used for another business such as a
Dairy Queen. Ms. Wyland stated the building would be too small for this purpose, the building
is only a little larger than a two -car garage.
Council Member Kuether asked if specific time frames can be placed in the Interim Use Permit
for the maximum number of days when the building would have to be removed after termination.
Ms. Wyland stated 90 days. Mr. Wessel stated this could certainly be done.
Council Member Neal moved to approve Interim Use Permit for Golf Driving Range with the
conditions outlined by the Town Center Design Review Committee, replacing the straight five
(5) year term with a three (3) year term and two (2) year extension, and adding the removal of the
building within 90 days after termination. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion.
Motion carried with Lyden voting no.
Reconsideration of ACCAP, House Move -In Purchase Lot from the City, FIRST
READING, Ordinance No. 03 - 97 - Ms. Wyland informed the Council that David and Donna
Vanneste are interested in donating a house, located on Hodgson Road in Shoreview, to the
Anoka County Community Action Program (ACCAP) in the hope of providing an affordable
home for a low or moderate income, first-time home buyer. ACCAP is willing to move this
house onto Lot 4, Block 3, Lexington Park Lakeview and offer the City of Lino Lakes up to
$10,000 for the lot. Ms. Wyland stated if the Council were to approve the ordinance, ACCAP
would need a Site Plan Review to facilitate the move.
Council Member Bergeson asked about the cost associated with transferring the land to the new
owner since there were Council Members who did not want to let this land go for less than
$10,000. He said the purchaser would need to pay for any associated cost with transferring the
title. Mr. Hawkins stated these fees would not amount to a lot of money, probably no more than
$50.
Council Member Neal asked when the City would receive the $10,000. Mr. Steve Klein stated
payment would be made upon a signed purchase agreement.
Council Member Lyden suggested Ms. Wyland state what the City is going to do with the
$10,000. Ms. Wyland stated the ordinance recommends the money be placed in the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) and this body will determine how the money will be used.
PAGE 5
COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
Mayor Landers recommended removing "up to $10,000" and just stating $10,000 in the
ordinance. Ms. Wyland stated this is what is actually written in the ordinance.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Ordinance No. 03 - 97. Council Member Bergeson
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of EMERGENCY Ordinance No. 10 - 97, Placing a Moratorium on
Telecommunications Towers - Ms. Wyland informed the Council of a memo received from
Northwest Associated Consultants (NAC) concerning a recent request for a telecommunication
tower on Centerville Road. Ms. Wyland indicated there are no specific criteria established,
hence NAC has recommended the City enact an Emergency Ordinance to place a six (6) month
moratorium on such uses to allow time for the development of appropriate review criteria.
Ms. Wyland submitted the actual emergency ordinance to the Council to replace the draft they
had previously received for review. She stated the Planning and Zoning Board recommended
adopting the emergency ordinance establishing a six (6) moratorium on telecommunication
towers within the City at their April 9, 1997, meeting.
Council Member Neal addressed Mr. Ahrens regarding the tower by the Correctional Facility.
He explained the vast amount of antennas located there and asked if the agreement was for the
City to be paid $10,000 for each antenna $10,000 for the whole lot of them. Mr. Ahrens stated
there are two companies currently on the water tower near the prison. The agreement with each
company states the City receives $12,000 per year, starting this year, and it increases by a
minimum of five percent (5%) thereafter. Council Member Neal stated when he voted for this,
he was under the impression it was $10,000 per antenna not company. Mr. Ahrens stated
$12,000 is the going rate for the Metro Area. Council Member Kuether asked if the agreement
gives the company a specific amount of space to lease and they can put as many antennas in that
space. Mr. Ahrens stated yes as far as identifying the space, but the agreement also identifies the
maximum number of antennas the company can install in the leased space. Council Member
Neal asked if the contract can be changed to $10,000 per antennae. Mr. Ahrens stated this could
certainly be done but he believed the companies would not be interested.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Emergency Ordinance No. 10 - 97. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Emergency Ordinance No. 10 - 97 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 46, Reimbursement to Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) Members for Meetings - This item was moved to be discussed with item 9,
Consideration of the FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 07 - 97, Amending Section 203, City
Council Compensation (reference Page ).
Consideration of a Variance, Philip Dischinger, 850 Orange Street - Ms. Wyland stated this
variance is a request to allow the construction of a building addition seven feet (7') from an
existing septic tank. The State Pollution Control Agency, Chapter 70-80, Individual Sewage
PAGE 6
•
•
COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
Treatment System Regulations provides for a minimum setback of ten feet (10'). Variances may
be granted at the discretion of the local jurisdiction.
Ms. Wyland stated Mr. Dischinger was injured in a serious car accident in March, 1997, and is
now a quadriplegic. Mr. Dischinger will be coming home from the hospital in a few weeks and
needs some accessibility improvements made to his home. One of those improvements involves
the construction of a ramp and wheelchair entry into the home. This new entry will be within
seven feet (7') of his existing septic tank. Ms. Wyland stated the building inspector has reviewed
the proposed construction and location of the entryway and recommends approval. There are no
alternatives for entry into the home and the inspector believes the existing tank will still be
maintainable. At their April 9, 1997 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the
request and recommended approval as submitted.
Ms. Wyland informed the Council a benefit has been planned for Mr. Dischinger on May 18,
1997, at the Coon Rapids American Legion. She suggested the Council waive the $250
application fee for this Variance request and the building permit fee for any remodeling that
needs to be done to facilitate the accessibility improvements. Staff estimated the building permit
fees to be between $50 and $150.
Council Member Neal stated the Building Official has the plans to build the ramp and the
standards required to build.
Council Member Kuether asked what was the purpose of the building. Ms. Wyland stated it is
not a building but an entryway into the home. The home is a split entry and it therefore requires
an addition to place the ramp into an enclosed area.
Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Wessel if this work could be donated by some of the
builders and contractors in the City. Mr. Wessel said he will solicited developers in the City.
Ms. Wyland stated the applicant's brother-in-law will be doing the work. Council Member Neal
stated the lumber and labor will be around $2,000.
Council Member Bergeson asked if there was not an addition, just a ramp, would that require a
variance also. Ms. Wyland stated it is from a structure, so if it was just a ramp a variance would
probably not be required. Mr. Roger Sharon stated the entryway would still be to small for the
wheelchair, the addition is required.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the variance to allow a seven foot setback from an
existing septic system and to waive the $250 variance application fee and building permit fee for
accessibility improvements. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAVID AHRENS
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 41, Approve Plans and Specifications, Elm Street and
Lake Drive Signal System - Mr. Ahrens stated that on May 13, 1996, the City Council ordered
PAGE 7
COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
the Centennial Middle School Street and Utility Improvement project. The project includes the
installation of a signal system at Elm Street and Lake Drive. The plans and specifications have
been completed by the City's consulting engineer, OSM Inc., and have been reviewed and
approved by Anoka County.
Mr. Ahrens stated staff is requesting Council to approve the plans and specifications so they may
advertise for bids. Mr. Ahrens outlined the project schedule if Council approve the resolution
tonight.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 41. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 41 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 42, Vacate Fourth Avenue Right -of -Way - Mr. Ahrens
stated the public hearing for the vacation of the Fourth Avenue right-of-way was held at the
November 12, 1996, Council meeting. At the public hearing, staff presented information relating
to the vacation and the opportunity for public comment was provided. No one spoke in favor or
against the vacation of the right-of-way at the public hearing. With the recent approval by
Council of the utility and roadway easements to serve the new Middle School, the right-of-way is
no longer needed for transportation purposes.
Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Wessel if this right-of-way is needed for future industrial
property at the north end. Mr. Wessel stated it is not needed as there is a plan for the proposed
business park where access will occur from the internal portion of the park to the north end.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 42. Council Member Lyden
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 42 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 43, Rescind Award of Contract, I-35W/County Road
#23 (Lake Drive), Interchange, Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities - Mr. Ahrens
stated on March 24, 1997, the Council awarded a contract to Bonine Excavating, Inc., for the
extension of trunk utilities to the southeast quadrant of the 35W/CSAH 23 interchange. Mr.
Ahrens informed the Council a letter was received from Mr. Gerald Bonine, President of Bonine
Excavating, Inc., requesting the Council to rescind the award of contract due to errors made on
the bid proposal. Mr. Bonine also requests the bid bond be returned.
Mr. Ahrens stated the City's Consulting Engineer, Mr. Tim Murphy, OSM, Inc., questioned the
bid proposal by Bonine Excavating, Inc., immediately upon opening the bids on March 18, 1997.
The estimator working for Bonine Excavating indicated their bid was good and they wanted the
project at the submitted bid amount of $260,799.60. The Council accepted the bids and awarded
the contract to Bonine Excavating based on this information.

COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
Mr. Ahrens stated the Council has two options regarding this matter. The Council can deny the
request by Bonine Excavating to rescind the award of contract and require them to enter into the
contract. Bonine Excavating will likely refuse resulting in substantial time delays as the City and
Bonine Excavating resolve this issue.
The second option is to honor the request to rescind the award of contract and take the bid bond
or cash equivalent. This option allows the City to award the contract to the second low bidder
and keep the project on schedule. Mr. Ahrens stated Staff feels the bid bond should not be
returned since the City's consultant questioned their bid immediately after the bid opening and
Council has awarded the contract to Bonine Excavating.
Mr. Ahrens said staff feels to require Bonine Excavating to honor the award of contract is not in
the best interest of the City as substantial delays to the project will result, compromising the
City's schedule to extend sewer and water to the "Village".
Mayor Landers asked how the second -place bid compares to the City Engineer's estimated bid.
Mr. Ahrens stated the estimate was approximately $296,000 and the second -place bid came in a
$298,400, so it was approximately 1% higher.
Mayor Landers inquired into the background and history of reliability for the second -place bid.
Mr. Ahrens replied the company is S. R. Weidema, Inc. and last year they completed the Fourth
Avenue Trunk Utility Project and also Behms Century Farms. He believes they have done other
work in the City and they are a capable contractor. They are also right on-site as they are
working on the Centennial Middle Project.
Council Member Neal asked if the bid bond will be kept. Mr. Ahrens stated this is what is being
suggested. Council Member Neal inquired into the amount of the bond. Mr. Ahrens stated
approximately $13,000. Council Member Neal stated this money should be directed towards the
road reconstruction project.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 43. Council Member Lyden
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 43 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 44, Award Construction Contract, I-35W/County
Road #23 (Lake Drive), Interchange Commercial Development Area Trunk Utilities - Mr.
Ahrens stated that with the adoption of Resolution No. 97 - 43, rescinding the award of contract
to Bonine Excavating, Inc., the second lower bidder would need to be awarded the bid. Mr.
Ahrens stated the City's Consulting Engineer, Mr. Tim Murphy, OSM, Inc., recommends the
contract be awarded to S.R. Weidema, Inc., at the revised construction contract amount of
$298,429.34. Mr. Ahrens explained the proposed project schedule and said this would delay the
project approximately one (1) week.

Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 33, Order Preparation of Report on Improvements,
Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction - Mr. Ahrens stated this resolution orders the
preparation of a feasibility study to investigate the reconstruction of the streets in the Lakes
Addition area. The study will consider utility concerns, wetland impacts, road section and other
issues related to reconstructing the streets. Since this project relies heavily on the City Charter,
public informational meetings are planned to educate people on the Charter and the public
improvement process.
Mr. Ahrens stated pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and the Lino Lakes Charter,
Council is required to order the preparation of a report studying the proposed improvements.
Council Member Bergeson asked what the estimated cost of the feasibility study would be. Mr.
Ahrens replied approximately $20,000.
Mr. Schumacher noted the City Council did request the Charter Commission to submit a letter
indicating their support of this project. He read the letter received from the Charter which
indicated the Charter's support for this project.
Council Member Bergeson indicated appreciation to the Charter Commission for re -addressing
this issue for the Council.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 97 - 33. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 97 - 33 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CONSIDERATION OF AND APPROVAL OF TRANSFER AND INDEMNIFICATION
AGREEMENT, FRIENDS OF THE PARK FOUNDATION, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher stated the Council will need to approve the Transfer and Indemnification
Agreement in order to accept a donation of equipment from the Friends of the Lino Parks
Foundation. The playground equipment listed in the agreement will be installed in Birchwood
Acres Park. The City has inspected the equipment and by the signing of the document, the City
agrees to accept all responsibility for the equipment. Mr. Schumacher stated the City's Attorney,
Mr. Bill Hawkins, has reviewed the document and recommends approval.
Mr. Schumacher expressed appreciation to the Friends of the Lino Parks Foundation as they are a
new organization and they have been very successful.

• Council Member Neal moved to approve the Transfer and Indemnification Agreement. Council
Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
•
CONSIDERATION OF QUOTES FOR PARK EQUIPMENT, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher reviewed three (3) quotes for a Land Pride - All flex 14 foot mower. Although
the Council requested Waldoch's be contacted for a quote, Mr. Schumacher stated they only
carry John Deere equipment and therefore could not bid on the Landpride mower.
Mr. Schumacher stated the low bid for this mower was received from Carlson Tractor and
Equipment in Rosemount for $9,226.62. He indicated this mower is included in the 1997
budget.
Council Member Neal moved to approve acceptance of the quote from Carlson Tractor and
Equipment for $9,226.62. Council Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST READING, ORDINANCE NO. 07 - 97, AMENDING
SECTION 203, CITY COUNCIL COMPENSATION, RANDY SCHUMACHER
Mr. Schumacher stated pursuant to Minnesota Statute 415.11, the salaries of the Mayor and
Council are set by ordinance adopted by the Council. The statute goes on to say any increase
shall not go into effect until after the next general election.
Mr. Schumacher said the Council has not adjusted their compensation level since 1993. He
stated the proposed adjusted salary rates would begin in 1998 and go through the year 2002,
basically this will give a cost of living adjustment for this period of time.
Mr. Schumacher said there is also a change from two regularly scheduled work session meetings
to a total of four regularly scheduled work session meetings.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Ordinance No. 07 - 97. Council Member Neal
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 97 - 46, Reimbursement to Housing and Redevelopment
Authority (HRA) Members for Meetings - Mr. Wessel explained that in October of 1995 the
City Council adopted a resolution creating a Housing and Redevelopment Authority pursuant to
the HRA Act. At that time, however, a compensation fee for the members of the HRA was not
established.
Mr. Wessel stated Staff therefore recommends adoption of Resolution No. 97 - 46, Establishing a
Compensation for the City HRA retroactive to January 1, 1997.
Council Member Bergeson stated his belief in a law which states the Council cannot give
themselves a raise in the current term. At this point in time, the HRA is the City Council, and
PAGE 11
COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
even though the Council is taking on different duties, he is not sure this is allowed. Council
Member Kuether stated this is a new job and is not an increase in the City Council's `salary.'
Council Member Bergeson agreed that it is not an increase but may still be perceived as the
current Council giving themselves a raise. Mr. Schumacher stated under Minnesota Statute
41511, which Council Member Bergeson is referring to, outlines the actual salary of the Council
Members. Mr. Hawkins stated his impression is Council Member Bergeson is not stating that it
is illegal, he is stating since Council Members cannot raise their own salary, why should they be
able to increase their pay in a round about way. Council Member Bergeson stated it is apparently
legal, but it appears to the residents the current Council gave themselves a raise. Mr. Hawkins
replied he does not know exactly how it reads, but it is possible this could be interpreted this way
and recommends a side of caution and to not make any HRA increase effective until after the
election since this is not clear. Council Member Kuether stated the Council is not operating in
the same capacity as a member of the HRA, it is the same as when they are on the Economic
Development Authority. It may be the same members, but it is a different board. Mr. Hawkins
stated he could look at the statutes tonight but not give the Council an opinion tonight without
looking at any attorney general's opinion that may have been decided on or any case law.
Council Member Bergeson suggested Council could pass this Resolution subject to an opinion
by Mr. Hawkins regarding its legality. Mayor Landers replied he would prefer an understanding
from the attorney before voting on this resolution.
Council Member Kuether moved to table Resolution No. 97 - 46 until the next City Council
Meeting. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Mayor Landers stated these individuals will receive training over and above the annual
harassment training that all employees as well as new hires receive.
Mayor Landers said he spoke with Sandie Wood who declined the appointment from Human
Rights Officer position. Mayor Landers stated Ms. Wood suggested it would not cost anymore
to send ten people instead of eight to training. This would help with turnover or others declining
later on after they had been trained. Council Member Kuether inquired where this training is to
take place. Mayor Landers said the training will be held locally.
Council Member Neal stated he was under the impression Dave Ahrens was to be one of the
candidates. Mayor Landers stated he did briefly talk with Mr. Ahrens prior to this meeting and
his response was yes he would serve as an alternate.
Council Member Bergeson stated his concern regarding gender diversity. Although Mr. Ahrens
would be great, there already are two males listed here so a female should be appointed for the
third position. Council Member Kuether asked if any of the new police officers were female and
maybe replace Sergeant Mortenson with one of them. Mayor Landers suggested moving ahead
with the two names, Mr. Tesch and Sergeant Mortenson, and try to find the remaining
individuals addressing the gender and facility location.
Council Member Kuether asked if the individuals will be paid for the training. Mr. Hawkins
stated training normally occurs during work hours. Council Member Lyden pointed out this is
on-going training.
Mayor Landers said at the last work session the terms were set for this positions at a three (3)
year term. Council Member Kuether stated the terms need to be staggered and maybe four (4)
and two (2) year terms would be more appropriate. Mayor Landers suggested the terms could be
done similar to the Park Board, one term ends after one year, the second after two years and the
third after three years; with the Human Rights Officer having the three year term. Council
Member Bergeson stated one year is not very long and would propose 2, 3 and 4 year terms.
Council Member Lyden expressed concern with the number attending training, especially with
the associated costs. He stated his preference would be two males and two females attend the
training. Mayor Landers stated the Council will go since they are a part of this plus three Human
Rights Officers and the two alternatives will go as well. This could be the cut off, but he does
not feel the training would be anymore for ten people then for eight. That way if anyone wanted
to remove themselves from the officer or alternative position, there would be someone else
already trained. Council Member Kuether agreed with Council Member Lyden in regards to two
of each gender appointed for these positions and suggested Mr. Schumacher send out a memo to
see if there are any volunteers interested in these positions. Mayor Landers stated two females
would then need to be found for the remaining positions. Discussion followed regarding the
PAGE 13
COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
length of term for the officer and the alternatives. It was stated the Officer would need to be a
longer term to ensure the transition of the alternative positions.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the appointing of Mr. Dan Tesch as the Human
Rights Officer and Sergeant Mortenson as an alternative. Council Member Neal seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the Human Rights Officer for a term of three
years, and the three alternative term lengths would be determined by a drawing with the terms
being two two-year terms and one four year term. Council Member Bergeson also moved that
the four positions be filled with two males and two females. Council Member Lyden seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

P.M.
DRAINAGE DITCH - Mr. Schumacher stated at the last work session Mr. Al Robinson brought
up drainage concerns with the trash guards on a culvert under Apollo Drive in Ditch #22 which
could cause potential flooding. This issue is in litigation at this point. Mr. Schumacher spoke
with the attorney handling this case, and the attorney indicated if the City Engineer felt there was
a threat of flooding for whatever reason, he would recommend the City Council authorize the
City Engineer to remove the trash guard in high water periods. Mr. Ahrens stated this is not a
simple operation to remove and then reinstall the trash guard depending on the water height. A
backhoe would be required, so he feels the trash guard needs to be either on or off. Mr. Ahrens
checked with our Consultants for their standards, but he would also like to check with MN/DOT
and Anoka County to see what their standards are before he would make any recommendations
regarding this issue.
Council Member Kuether asked if someone could be assigned to stop and check it regularly and
clean out the debris. Mr. Ahrens replied this is done on a daily basis, even on week -ends. He
also indicated the water flow has gone down about one foot since this was initially brought
before the Council approximately two weeks ago.
Mr. Robinson, 8299 Fourth Avenue, Lino Lakes, stated a trash guard was installed when Apollo
Drive was constructed. Sometime after June 24, 1993, it was removed. It was put back on last
fall and he does not know why it was reinstalled. Mr. Ahrens replied it was reinstalled to meet
the City's standards. Mr. Robinson asked where else in the City is there a trash guard installed in
a culvert that maintains the amount of water flow as this one. He also stated since last
Wednesday night he has personally cleaned the trash guard three times; he also cleaned it today
at 2:01 p.m. Mr. Robinson removes debris daily and he has been keeping a record. Granted
Staff may be checking the trash daily but his concern is debris collects there regularly and if a
PAGE 14

COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 14, 1997
deluge of rain would come, flooding may occur. Mr. Robinson spoke with the Kate Drury at the
Rice Creek Watershed and she stated she would recommend not having a trash guard in a
continuous flow ditch such as this.
Council Member Bergeson stated an attorney from the insurance company has given permission
to remove it, so it seems we should have this one removed and then review our policy standards
on where culverts should and should not be required. Mr. Ahrens disagreed and stated since it is
a County Road, he would want to check with the County to ensure there is no issue with
removing this trash guard.
Mayor Landers stated he desires a written letter from the attorney granting permission to remove
the trash guard before this were to occur.
Mr. Ahrens stated if he received favorable reports from the County, he has no problem with
removing the trash guard. He stated he would inform the Council after he talks to the County
regarding this issue. He said there is a cut-off point on when they should be required, and based
on what he hears from the County, he may be able to come back to the Council with
recommendations on how the standards should be adjusted.
Mr. Ahrens will bring more information to the next Council work session.
ADJOURN
Council Member Neal moved to adjourn at 8:12 P.M. Council Member Lyden seconded the
