OPEN MIKE
Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) - Andy Cardinal, 6657 Centerville Road, began by
introducing Eugene Peterson, Chairman and Anoka County Representative, and Kate Drewry,
District Administrator of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. Drewry then gave a synopsis
of what the Rice Creek Watershed District entails and summarized some of their current projects
and highlights from last year. She stated that their main purpose is to improve the water quality
of our area lakes and ponds.
Council Member Lyden wondered if they could help Lino Lakes citizens in regard to the rights
and responsibilities concerning the many ditches that go through Lino Lakes. Ms. Drewry said
that she could provide a map of the ditches that they maintain and inspect.
Mr. Peterson thanked the Council for inviting them to the meeting, emphasizing one of their
goals as becoming more "user friendly" and to work more closely with government agencies. He
also thanked them for reappointing Mr. Cardinal to the RCWD, stating that he was a real asset to
the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Mr. Don Dunn, 6885 Black Duck, came forward to inform the Council and public that a formal
program is being developed to begin a Lake Management Plan for Lake Reshanau. He invited
everyone to participate and stated the meeting was April 30, 1998, 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
Mr. John Landers, 7181 Sunrise Drive, came forward to discuss the truck situation on Elm Street.
He stated that quite frequently he witnesses trucks unloading a crane on the blacktop. He noted
there is a five ton weight limit on that street. Mr. Landers explained that he had spoken with
some of the drivers, the Police Department, and City Staff, and has received no satisfaction. His
frustration was in the fact that the City asks taxpayers for money to fix the streets yet, at the same
time, allows violations that are destroying the streets. He wanted to know what the City was
going to do to stop this type of abuse from happening.
Mayor Sullivan agreed with his complaints and advised him to call 911 during the next
occurrence so the City can take immediate action.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND FORESTRY DEPARTMENT, MARTY ASLESON

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Council Member Neal moved to approve the Earth Day Proclamation. Council Member Lyden
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Sullivan noted that this was the closest thing the City had to a City celebration and
encouraged citizens to attend.
The Earth Day Proclamation can be found at the end of these minutes. _
Consideration of the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 03 - 98, Amendment to Chapter
200, Subdivision 211 of the City Code, Parks, Recreation and Environmental Commission -
Mr. Asleson explained that this was the first reading of the amendment of Chapter 200,
Subdivision 211 of the City Code replacing the Parks, Recreation, and Environmental Board with
the Park and Recreation Board. Elements extracted from this Code concerning environmental
affairs have been incorporated into the Environmental Board Ordinance presently under
consideration to establish an Environmental Board.
Mr. Asleson asked Council to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 03 -98.
Mayor Sullivan asked if the Park Board had approved this and Mr. Asleson indicated that they
had.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve FIRST READING of Ordinance 03 - 98. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 04 - 98, Creation of the
Environmental Board, Chapter 200, Subdivision 217 - Mr. Asleson explained that this was
the first reading of Ordinance No. 04 - 98 establishing the Environmental Board, Chapter 217 of
the Lino Lakes City Code. Elements from the Parks, Recreation, and Environmental Board were
extracted and incorporated with the proposed by-laws for the Environmental Affairs Committee
to write this ordinance. The ordinance has been reviewed by Staff and is being forwarded to Bill
Hawkins, City Attorney, for review.
Mr. Asleson then asked Council for approval of Ordinance No. 04 - 98.
Mayor Sullivan commented that there was a need to ensure processes are in place for the
Environmental Board. Now that the Board is established and responsible for certain issues, the
City needs to make sure they are working well with other departments.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Ordinance No. 04 - 98, as presented. Council Member
Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 04 - 98 can be found at the end of these minutes.
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ADVISORY BOARD (EDAAB)
APPOINTMENTS, BRIAN WESSEL
Consideration of Economic Development Authority Advisory Board Appointments - Mr.
Wessel explained that the Economic Development Authority Advisory Board (EDAAB)
expanded in 1994 from five to seven voting members. Currently, two seats have expired (Roger
Jensen and Glenn Rehbein) Dean Tollefson resigned, leaving a vacancy. There is a total of three
open seats. Seven people have applied for the three open seats. Staff recommendation was to
reapoint Roger Jensen and Glen Rehbein, to retain John Bergeson (City Council) and Bill
Johnson (P & Z) as liaisons, and to appoint John Milbauer to the vacant seat reserved for a
banker. The following candidates have officially expressed an interest in being considered for
the Board:
Glenn Rehbein* 12/31/2000
Roger Jensen* 12/31/1999
Jim Milbauer 12/31/2000
Fritz Johnson 12/312000
Patricia Rickaby 12/31/1999
Paul Easterday
Guy Herr
* Incumbent
The City Council has had the opportunity to interview candidates. The Council has two issues to
consider: appointment of individuals to the open seats, and should the Board be expanded to
nine voting members. EDAAB, at its meeting on Thursday, April 9, reviewed the option of
expanding the Board and made a recommendation to expand the Board. If the Council opts to
expand the Board, it should to appoint an additional two members for a total of nine members.
Council Member Neal asked when the members would officially start. Mr. Wessel stated May 7,
per action of this meeting.
Consideration of a Name Change for the EDAAB Board - Mr. Wessel explained that the
EDAAB is not a Board required by Sate Statute or the City Charter. The group acts in an
advisory capacity on economic development issues. The Board members volunteer their time
and, unlike other City boards, generally make their recommendations based on consensus rather
than a vote. There is no residency requirement for this group.
Mr. Wessel stated that staff recommends the name of the Economic Development Authority
Board be changed to the Economic Development Advisory Committee.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve expanding the Board to nine members, the
appointment of terms outlined above, and the name change to the Economic Development
Advisory Committee. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
• CONSIDERATION OF ENGINEERINGBUILDING DEPARTMENT SECRETARY
POSITION, DAVID PECCHIA
•
Mr. Pecchia explained that the City has an opening for a Department Secretary B. The position
was approved by Council for the 1998 budget and will provide clerical and secretarial support to
the Public Works/Engineering and Building Inspection Departments. The position was
advertised/posted within the City buildings and Carri Villella who is currently the City's
receptionist, was the only applicant. The position required higher qualifications and Carri was
tested to determine whether or not she met the new qualifications. Carri was tested for her
typing, composition, spelling, and vocabulary skills. She was also interviewed by Tom Jackson
and Pete Kluegel from the Building Inspection Department and Dave Ahrens our City
Engineer/Public Works Director. It is their recommendation that Carri be considered for this
full-time position.
Mr. Pecchia continued stating that the selection process to fill the vacancy created by the
promotion of the current receptionist, Carri Villella, is anticipated to be completed by June 1,
1998. He is recommending that the promotion of Ms. Villella become effective upon the hiring
of a replacement receptionist or June 1, 1998, whichever occurs first.
Council Member Lyden stated that customer service is very important at City Hall and he has
been very impressed with the applicant's effort in that area.
Council Member Neal noted that the selection of her replacement will be critical and asked if
they had interviewed anyone yet. Mr. Pecchia stated they will be starting the interview process
next week.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve Ms. Carri Villella for the Public Works/Engineering
& Building Department Secretary. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT, BRIAN WESSEL/MARY KAY WYLAND
Site Plan Review, Lakeland Bank, Apollo Drive, Phase 3/Lake Drive - Ms. Wyland explained
that Mr. Roger Kolstad has submitted a request to construct a 3,600 square foot bank upon a +
35,400 square foot parcel of land located north of the proposed extension of Apollo Drive and
west of Lake Drive (CSAH 23). The subject site is zoned GB, General Business, which lists
financial institutions as permitted uses. Based on the following review, our office recommends
site plan review approval of the proposed bank subject to the following conditions:
1. The Lake Drive Access is terminated at such time when southerly public street
access (via Apollo Drive) is provided.
2. The landscape plan is subject to review and approval by the City Forester and
CPTED Officer.
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
3. At such time as a southerly property access is available (and the Lake Drive
access is terminated), the Lake Drive parking lot access drive is removed and
restored as green area.
4. The proposed Lake Drive (CSAH 23) access location is subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer and Anoka County Highway Department.
5. The City process and approve one of the following:
a. A conditional use permit to allow the establishment of an accessory drive-
through facility within a GB Zoning District.
b. A Zoning Ordinance amendment establishing accessory drive-through
facilities as permitted (rather than conditional) accessory use in the GB
Zoning District.
6. The bank drive-through lane is expanded or redesigned such that the stacking of
vehicles (three) does not encroach upon the adjacent parking lot drive aisle.
7. The site plan is revised to identify an off-street loading space.
8. All lighting used to illuminate off-street parking areas are arranged to deflect light
away from adjoining properties.
9. A detailed sign plan is submitted subject to City approval.
10. The submitted utility and grading plan is subject to review and approval by the
Town Center Architectural Review Committee.
11. Site and building plans are subject to review and approval by the Town Center
Architectural Review Committee.
Ms. Wyland informed the Council that the Planning and Zoning Board approved this item with
the conditions outlined in the staff report. She also noted that this item did not change the text
requirement, it just meant the applicant had to reapply for a Conditional Use Permit for the drive-
through.
Mr. Wessel then summarized the schedule for the project, noting that the architectural firm had
been very cooperative with Staff. With the use of a map, he went over the design and noted the
push of businesses away from Lake Drive. The Engineer's drawing does allow for a smaller
pond, allowing room for more trees to serve a buffer from Lake Drive.
Council Member Bergeson stated this process was delayed because of the amending process,
noting the applicant has to go through the Planning and Zoning Board twice. Mr. Wessel agreed,
stating that the applicant had a month delay because the Planning and Zoning Board voted
6
•
•
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
against the Zoning Ordinance amendment that allowed financial institutions as a "permitted" use
rather than a Conditional Use Permit. Council Member Bergeson wondered if there was any way
to change that.
Ms. Wyland stated that it would require a public hearing to change the Code, and the Planning
and Zoning Board has every intention of approving, whether it be "permitted" or "conditional."
Mayor Sullivan was concerned that this could become an issue if the Council did not approve.
Mr. Wessel encouraged the Council to approve because this would be very good for the
community.
Council Member Lyden stated that although he did appreciate the setback, he wondered if it was
enough. He also stated that it was very difficult to approve the request without a comprehensive
view of the whole Apollo Street project, explaining they are unable to guarantee that the roads
will line up without knowing what is going to be built on the east side of Lake Drive.
Mr. Wessel agreed that the connection with Lake Drive is key; however, Apollo Drive is more
than just a line on a map, the location has been set. Council Member Lyden explained that the
map was a micro scale and because of that it was very difficult to see how everything would be
laid out. He believed that there was a convenience store going in and asked how they could
determine the best location for these businesses if they were still unsure of what will be going in
across the street.
Mr. Wessel verified that a convenience store is going in and stated the debate was Lilac Street
being closed down, which they did look at first and worked their way north. He believed that
they were looking at the "big picture."
Council Member Neal asked about the two homes on the land where Apollo Drive will be
extended and if the City was buying them. Mr. Ahrens explained that the extension of Apollo
Drive does go through two homes and they have been meeting with those homeowners. An
appraiser and relocation company working on it.
Council Member Neal asked if the homeowners planned on having their homes relocated. Mr.
Ahrens said that they had not looked into that option but they would not rule that out. Council
Member Neal said that if the homeowners preferred to have their homes moved they should let
them. He asked what relocation company was being used and stated he preferred that they be
investigated. Mr. Wessel stated that the company was Conworth.
Mayor Sullivan asked Mr. Ahrens to look into the option of relocating their homes.
Council Member Lyden asked if the setback requirement was the same for the convenience store
as the bank. Mr. Wessel indicated it was not.
Mayor Sullivan stated that she would appreciate them working with the Town Center Committee
on this plan and the Environmental Board for landscaping options.
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the Lakeland Bank, Apollo Drive Phase 3/Lake
Drive, Site Plan Review. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried with
Council Member Lyden voting no.
Consideration of a Motion to proceed with the City Hall, Early Childhood Center and
Police Department and Authorize Bonding in the Approximate Amount of $5,350,000.00 -
Ms. Vaske explained that at the Council Work Session on Wednesday, April 8, 1997, discussion
was centered on the Civic Center funding options. There seemed to be a consensus by the
Council to proceed on the project with the issuance of bonds of approximately $5,350,000, to be
paid by property taxes. The bonds will be issued when the conditions by Springsted are met,
which are:
1. That the City has the funds available and is willing to transfer those funds to the
construction fund.
Agree with the exception of repaying the water and sewer funds with proceeds
from sale of City property.
2. To determine if the Early Childhood Facility should be included in the bond.
Agree to free current Area and Unit funds for possible park land purchase.
3. Title to the land must be obtained with title insurance secure.
Bill Hawkins is currently addressing this issue.
4. Final agreement with the School District on the lease.
A signed lease agreement with the School District is on file.
5. Refine estimates for total costs and square footage of the facilities.
Brian Wessel is handling preparation of this information.
Ms. Vaske asked the Council to approve the motion to proceed with the Civic Complex as
presented, with the sale of bonds of approximately $5,350,000 to follow when all of the above
conditions are met.
Mr. Hawkins gave the Council an update of the land title situation, stating that the title from the
County has been acquired, although the land owner does have the right to appeal the decision
regarding compensation. The County was seeking title insurance which would be completed this
week.

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
. Mayor Sullivan asked what could happen if the land owner does appeal. Mr. Hawkins stated that
the appeal would involve the money he received for the property, not the title itself.
•
•
Mr. Bergeson asked for clarification on the approximate $5.3 million. Ms. Vaske explained how
they got to that figure, noting that when the process started last year the figure was $3.5 million.
She also verified that the $5.3 million figure did cover the costs of all three buildings.
Council Member Lyden asked who was representing the City regarding the lease with the School
District. Mr. Pecchia said it was Randy Schumacher.
Mayor Sullivan questioned if the agreement covered all the costs and Ms. Vaske indicated that it
did.
Council Member Lyden moved to proceed with City Hall, Early Childhood Center, and Police
Department and authorize bonding in the approximate amount of $5,350,000.00. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Civic Complex/Early Childhood Facility, Village Center, Site Plan Review and Conditional
Use Permit for Early Childhood Facility - Mr. Wessel informed the Council that the Site Plan
Review and Conditional Use Permit were approved by the Planning and Zoning Board at their
March 11, 1998 meeting with the condition that the Plat for the Village No. 2 be approved.
Since the plat review required a Public Hearing at the April 8 Planning and Zoning Board, staff
decided to wait to present this item until completion of that review. They are now asking
Council to consider the plat (previous agenda item), the Site Plan review and the Conditional Use
Permit.
Mr. Wessel continued stating that the City of Lino Lakes is requesting approval of a + 44,000
square foot civic complex within the Town Center "Village" located south of I -35W and east of
Lake Drive. The civic complex is comprised of the following components:
1. A 17,404 square foot City Hall.
2. A 16, 378 square foot Police Station.
3. A 10,037 square foot Early Learning Center (to be leased and operated by the
Centennial School District).
Specifically, the following approvals are necessary to accommodate the proposed use:
1. Site and building plan.
2. Conditional Use Permit to allow a "school" within a PSP, Public/Semi-Public
Zoning District.
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Technically, the lot upon which the civic complex is to be constructed has yet to be formally
created (or provided public street access). Thus, site and building plan approval must be made
contingent upon the future subdivision of land.
Based on the following review, staff recommended Site and Building Plan/Conditional Use
Permit approval of the Lino Lakes Civic Complex subject to the following conditions:
1. The City approve a subdivision of the property to provide public street access to
the site and results in the creation of a lot which is in conformance with minimum
PSP District lot requirements.
2. The civic complex meet applicable PSP District setback requirements.
3. Verification is made that the proposed structure does not exceed 45 feet in height.
4. A minimum of 35 percent of the subject site is reserved as green area.
5. Site and building plans are subject to review and approval by the Town Center
Architectural Review Committee, City Forester, and CPTED Officer.
6. The site plan/landscape is revised to identify the following items and subject to
approval of City staff:
a. Handicap parking stalls.
b. Trash handling areas.
c. Loading spaces.
d. Exterior lighting locations.
e. Sizes of proposed plantings.
7. All trash handling equipment is fully enclosed and screened from view of
neighboring properties.
8. In compliance with Town Center design guidelines, site light fixture selection gives
attention to both function and aesthetics.
9. Site wetlands are specifically delineated and protected.
10. A grading and drainage plan is submitted which is subject to review and approval
by the City Engineer and Rice Creek Watershed District.
11. All site signage comply with applicable Sign Ordinance requirements.
12. Comment of other City staff.

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Mr. Wessel pointed out the architectural specifics regarding the building plan, conditional use
permit, and preliminary final plat. He introduced the architect on the project, noting that he had
held many meetings with him discussing the design and material for the project.
Mr. Francis Bulbulien briefly presented the building plan, noting he agreed with the concepts Mr.
Wessel had indicated. He explained some of the materials they would be using, including soft
red bricks and a green metal roof. There will be samples on site. He said that they would
include tinted glass windows to minimize the heat from the sun. Also, wood tresses will be seen
on both the inside and outside.
Council Member Bergeson stated that being invited to participate in choosing the samples is very
beneficial, as you get a different view of what things will look like directly at the site. He noted
they were invited to do the same at the Town Center Complex and he was very encouraged by
their response regarding their likes and dislikes.
Council Member Lyden asked if the outdoor lighting had been selected and Mr. Bulbulien
explained the lighting as having a lantern effect, as it lights it reflects the light back. Council
Member Lyden asked why there were no flag poles, since this is a civic government building.
Mr. Bulbulien referred to a drawing showing where the flag poles would be located.
Bulbulien pointed out where each of the buildings would be in relation to each other, He noted
the spaces for short-term parking, additional parking in the back, and the shielded trash bins.
Council Member Lyden asked if there was adequate turn around space and Mr. Bulbulien said
that the plan met all the parking and turn around requirements. Council Member Lyden
suggested some sort of water fountain in the middle of the horseshoe, noting the pleasing sound
of water.
Mr. Bulbulien explained that they were working very hard to keep within the budget presented,
so a waterfall was not feasible. He explained that although there would be sidewalks going to the
building entrances, it would also be possible to reach them through the open lawn.
Council Member Neal stated that he would rather see the space in the horseshoe used for a very
large Christmas tree, as he has been asked, in the past, why Lino Lakes does not have one.
Council Member Lyden said he liked the idea of a Christmas tree and using the pond during the
winter months as an ice rink for younger children.
Mayor Sullivan asked about the process for verifying the compliance in which issues have been
met and when they would have the schedule to return. Ms. Wyland stated that those items would
be addressed in the building plan and site plan review next month.
Mayor Sullivan asked about the City logo and Mr. Wessel explained that the sign on the civic
• complex does incorporate the logo.
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Council Member Lyden noted that driving through a park he had seen a very interesting, simple
sign design entailing a square box with a heron cut out of it.
Mayor Sullivan suggested that the City develop guidelines for use of the City logo, so it is not
changed for every use. Mr. Wessel agreed and said that the logo is recognized and the City does
not want to see it abused.
Council Member Lyden asked if the sidewalks could be done in contrast to the brick on the
building. Mr. Bulbulien explained that the sidewalks could be colored and they are considering
it, but that would cost more money. He noted that the seal coating would be in a warm gravel.
Council Member Lyden indicated that he really liked the idea of a paved sidewalk throughout the
Town Center. Mr. Wessel reminded them of the budget constraints.
Council Member Bergeson made a motion to approve the Civic Complex Site Plan Review and
Conditional Use Permit for Early Childhood Facility with conditions listed above and with the
exception of Condition No. 12. Council Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Village, Phase 2 Final Plat - Ms. Wyland explained that the City is requesting review and
approval of the plat for Village No. 2. This plat consists of a replat of a portion of the Village
No. 1 with the addition of the recently acquired County parcel intended to house the City
Complex, future community center (YMCA) and village green. To facilitate construction of the
City Complex, a platting of the parcel is required. The plat will consist of one lot, Lot 1, Block 1
which is 9.64 acres in size, and one outlot, Outlot A which is 18.4 acres in size. As future
development occurs, the outlot will be replatted. The lot dimensions and area meet the
requirement of the PSP Zoning District.
Ms. Wyland continued stating that the City's Engineering Consultant, OSM, has reviewed the
plat to insure the proposed extension of Town Center Parkway will fit within the design of the
current roadway. The current roadway configuration is 80' to accommodate a landscaped
median, the extension will not contain a median and is, therefore, proposed at 60' in width.
Drainage plans have been developed for the site and permit approval from the Rice Creek
Watershed District is expected on Wednesday, April 8. Easements will be provided over all
wetlands as is required by Ordinance.
Ms. Wyland advised the Planning and Zoning Board has approved the final plat with conditions.
Staff recommends approval of this preliminary and final plat for The Village No. 2 with the
following conditions:
1. Easements are provided as per the City Subdivision Ordinance along lot lines and
wetlands/drainage ways.
2. Town Center Parking terminus contain a temporary cul-de-sac to allow adequate
space for turning maneuvers.

information and summarization of District 5 and 6. They have completed the analysis and put
together materials for all neighborhoods and districts. Working through as a committee, a
process for finalization will be forwarded to the Council this fall.

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Mr. Wessel noted that the next meeting would be held May 21, 1998, in the work session format.
Mayor Sullivan expressed concern that more citizens hear about this meeting and get involved.
She requested further action regarding the vision bus tour set up and next forum. Mr. Wessel
explained that the new phase was to consolidate information. He believed that the first item of
business at their next meeting would include determining when the tour and citizens forum
would take place.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, DAVID AHRENS

COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Mr. Ahrens noted that awarding the bid at next Council meeting instead of tonight will not delay
construction. He had added a cost analysis to their packets and they were $50,000 lower than
expected.
Council Member Bergeson asked why the bids were in the $1.4 million range and the total came
in at $1.7 million. Mr. Ahrens explained that the $1.4 million figure was the construction cost
and the $1.7 million was the total project cost, which included engineering, consultant, and
administration fees, basically the overhead to administer the project.
Council Member Lyden asked if State Aid would be available after this project. Mr. Ahrens
stated that $1,113,000 was currently available, $53,000 over the estimate. Last year the City
received $390,000. With a brand new Ware Road, the annual allotment would be approximately
$350,000.
Council Member Neal asked if there would be any change orders needed for this project. Mr.
Ahrens said that the issue of change orders had been addressed so, hopefully, they would not
need any.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 48, as presented. Council
Member Lyden seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 48 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 49, Accept Bids and Award Construction Contract,
Town Center Parkway, Phase 2 - Mr. Ahrens explained that sealed bids were received and
opened on Friday April 3, 1998 for the Street and Utility construction associated with Phase 2 of
the Town Center Parkway project. City Council action is required to award a construction
contract to the lowest responsible bidder.
Mr. Ahrens continued stating the City Council ordered the improvement at the February 23,
1998, Council Meeting. On April 3, 1998, eight sealed bids were received and opened with the
following results:
S. R. Weidema, Inc. $229,592.00
W. B. Miller $239,041.95
Ryan Contracting $245,057.10
Northdale Construction $255,664,24
Kadlec Excavating $266,742.53
Kober Excavating $271,027.14
Penn Contracting $286,908.00
Engineer's Estimate $298,758.00
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Mr. Ahrens stated that the bid from Perkins Contracting was rejected since it did not use the bid
form supplied in Addendum No. 2. The bid from Perkins was tabulated for the new quantities
and had no effect on the outcome. The number of bids received and aggressive pricing
represents a competitive bidding climate for the 1998 season. The bid by S. R. Weidema, Inc., is
approximately 23% below the engineer's estimate. Mr. Ahrens presented correspondence from
the City's consulting engineer, OSM, Inc., recommending the award of the construction contract
to S. R. Weidema, Inc.
The construction costs for this project will be paid by tax increment financing. The proposed
schedule for this project is as follows:
Council awards bid
Construction begins
Substantial completion
April 13, 1998
April27, 1998
June 12, 1998
Mr. Ahrens noted that the financing was lower than anticipated. Mayor Sullivan thanked him for
the concern regarding financing. She then requested that they check out S. R. Weidema, Inc.,
from time -to -time to be assured that they are working well with the City and citizens.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 49, as presented. Council Member
Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 49 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 50, Declaration of Intent to Bond, Lakes Addition
Street Reconstruction Project - Mr. Ahrens explained that the City of Lino Lakes is required
by the Internal Revenue Service to declare its intent to reimburse project costs from bond
proceeds prior to encumbering project costs. City Council action is necessary to adopt a
resolution declaring the City's intent to finance the Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction Project
with bonds. Exhibit A of the Resolution notes the amount to be bonded and is consistent with the
amount of the referendum. If the proposed resolution is not adopted, the City will be required to
find alternate methods to finance this project.
Staff recommends that Resolution No. 98 - 50 be adopted.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 50, as presented. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 50 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 51, Establish Policy on Utility Rates for Properties
Outside of City Boundaries - Mr. Ahrens explained that Staff and Council previously
discussed establishing utility rates charged to properties outside of the City's corporate
boundaries. This policy is necessary as the City's utility system continues to the point where
properties outside of Lino Lakes boundaries will request Lino Lakes utility service. The policy
16
•
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
will establish the proper procedures and utility charges for Staff and the requesting property to
follow in responding to a request to connect to the utility system.
Mr. Ahrens continued stating that based on discussion with Council, the proposed policy reflects
concerns and issues raised by Council at the March 18, 1998, work session. Therefore, Staff is
recommending that Council adopt Resolution No. 98 - 51 establishing a policy for utility rates to
properties outside of city boundaries.
Council Member Bergeson asked if the policy applied to an emergency connection to
Centerville. Mr. Ahrens said that was a separate agreement between the two cities and applied to
the property owners who want to use the service on a daily basis.
Council Member Lyden asked if this was a "blanket policy" or was there an addendum for
churches. Mr. Ahrens stated that initially it did allow for churches but that was removed.
Council Member Neal stated he would be presenting a proposal to give a utility discount to
senior citizens that would include garbage, water, and sewer. He stated that they have
implemented this policy in Blaine and it has worked well.
Mayor Sullivan suggested the proposal be brought to a Council work session.

Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 51, as presented. Council
Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carries unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 51 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 43, Approve Change Orders and Payment No. 10
(final), Trapper's Crossing Street & Utilities Project - Mr. Ahrens explained that the bonding
company for the contractor of the Trappers Crossing Street and Utility Project is requesting City
approval of Payment No. 10 (final) in the amount of $10,951.80. The bonding company is
making this request since the contractor went out of business and the bonding company is now
responsible for payments to subcontractors and suppliers working on the project. The final
contract amount is summarized as follows:
Contract amount
Quantity overruns
Change Order No. 1
Change Order No. 2
Change Order No. 3
Change Order No. 4
$684,685.10
$ 2, 547.52
$ 5,940.00
$ 5,187.40
$ 1,800.00
$ 8,927.78
Final Contract Amount $709,087.80
• The overruns reflect the actual quantities used to complete the project versus the engineer's plan
quantities.
17
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Change Order No. 1 includes work to remove and replace existing watermain that was in conflict
with the sanitary sewer main.
Change Order No. 2 includes work to install a storm drainage pipe within the Trapper's Crossing
plat.
Change Order No. 3 includes work to install plastic pipe crossing within the Trapper's Crossing
plat to facilitate utility (gas, electric, cable) installation. This is in accordance with the City's
Joint Trench Policy on utility installation.
Change Order No. 4 includes work to install new driveway culverts and aprons along 12th
Avenue and to install a sanitary sewer stub to provide service to the property west of Trapper's
Crossing.
Mr. Ahrens noted that all change orders were assessed to Trapper's Crossing at no cost to the
City.
Council Member Dahl asked if there was some sort of insurance policy to cover change orders
and company bankruptcy. Mr. Hawkins explained that the company was bonded and provided a
performance bond and payment bond. The contractor was the one that filed for bankruptcy and
the bonding company did complete the work required. Mr. Ahrens did have a consultant look at
the change orders and they are all legitimate.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 43, Approve Change Orders 1
through 4 and Payment No. 10 (final), Trapper's Crossing Street and Utility Project. Council
Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Neal voting no.
Resolution No. 98 - 43 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 53, Approve Wetland Banking Credit Purchase
Agreement - Mr. Ahrens explained that the City is required to replace impacted wetlands as a
result of the Highway 49/23 Intersection Project completed in spring, 1997. The wetland
replacement was planned to be done by purchasing wetland banking credits from Anoka County
and creating wetlands near the project site. The proposed County banked wetland site has not
received approval from Rice Creek Watershed District and Board of Water and Soil Resources,
thereby, requiring the City to investigate other options.
Staff discussed options with Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to fulfill its obligation to
replace the impacted wetlands. Options include using the natural resource inventory that the City
will be undertaking this summer to identify sites within the City to create wetlands or purchase
wetland banking credits from an approved site. The option of purchasing credits from an
approved site was strongly favored by RCWD as it fulfills the City's obligation to replace the
impacted wetlands more quickly (the City is two years behind in replacing the wetlands).
18

•
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
Mr. Ahrens continued stating that Staff was directed to a property owner in Columbus Township
who has an approved wetland banking site. Mr. Ahrens referred to an agreement that was drafted
by the City Attorney and the property owner's attorney. The agreement states that the City will
purchase 43,002 square feet of banked wetland credits at $0.50 per square feet or $21,501. The
City assessed the benefiting property owners $20,000 for wetland replacement and the extra
$1,501 is recommended to be funded from the Surface Water Management Fund.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 98 - 53.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 53, as presented. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 53 can be found at the end of these minutes.
PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT, RICK DEGARDNER
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 47, Park Naming Policy -Mr. DeGardner stated that
currently, there is not an ordinance or resolution to officially name City parks. Staff has
established a resolution that officially names existing parks and addresses the procedure for
naming new parks. Specifically, the Park Board will make a recommendation to City Council
following preliminary plat approval. Guidelines in creating park names are indicated on the
resolution. A procedure to allow individuals interested in renaming their neighborhood park is
also indicated.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 98 - 47.
Council Member Lyden expressed concern over "50% of signatures," stating he did not want to
put neighbor against neighbor and fear of a park continually being renamed. Mr. DeGardner said
that just because a name was submitted it did not mean the park name would be changed. He
asked if Council Member Lyden was suggesting a higher percentage requirement for signatures.
Council Member Lyden indicated no, but believed there needed to be more criteria, suggesting
this be a Council Work Session item.
Council Member Neal suggested the parks be named due to a benefactor or large donation,
otherwise, leave the park names as is.
Mr. DeGardner explained that donations are involved in the criteria for park naming and that it is
very important to establish this procedure because they have no current guidelines for this issue.
Council Member Neal stated that Lino Park is most often referred to a Lions Park because of the
Lions Club donations. Mr. DeGardner indicated there was a sign in the park that indicated that.
Council Member Lyden expressed concern over what citizens might want to name a park. Mr.
DeGardner emphasized the need to get a policy as soon as possible, and they could always
COUNCIL MINUTES April 13, 1998
amend it, if necessary. He asked the Council to approve the resolution now so the City did have
a policy in place.
Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 98 - 47, as presented. Council
Member Dahl seconded the motion. Motions carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 98 - 47 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of Request to Approve Hiring of Part -Time Program Supervisor - Mr.
DeGardner explained that applications for the part-time Program Supervisor positions were
accepted through March 16, 1998. Eighteen applications were submitted. Seven candidates
were selected and interviews were conducted March 23-24. Two finalists were invited back for
second interviews the week of March 30.
Mr. DeGardner stated that he recommended the hiring of Elizabeth Bursack for the position of
part-time Program Supervisor. Ms. Bursack has a wide array of experience in the recreation field
including working for the New Brighton Parks and Recreation Department and the Harriet
Alexander Nature Center in Roseville. Ms. Bursack has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Parks,
Recreation, and Leisure Studies from the University of Minnesota.
Mr. DeGardner continued saying that the position provides for a $12.40/hour salary plus pro-
rated benefits. The hiring of Ms. Bursack would be contingent upon a criminal background
investigation. It is anticipated that this new position will concentrate in providing recreational
programs for teen, youth, pre-school parent-child classes, and special events.
Mr. DeGardner asked Council to approve Ms. Bursack as part-time Program Supervisor.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve the hiring of Ms. Bursack as part-time Program
Supervisor. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Anderson explained that on January 28, 1998, Lino Liquors, Inc., located in the Tom Thumb
building closed their doors and went out of business. The owners of this business also canceled
their liquor liability insurance effective on that date. Since liquor liability insurance is one of the
critical requirements for the license, she asked the Council to cancel the liquor license. She noted
the Minnesota Liquor Board asked her to bring this forward to the Council.
Council Member Neal moved to approve Cancellation of Liquor License for Lino Liquors, Inc.
Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of Resolution No. 98 - 52, Abating 1998 Installment of Special Assessment

need for an assessment correction had been brought to her attention by the owner of the above
described property. She certified an assessment to the property last fall along with all of the
other assessment projects. She was not aware that the property owner had filed a petition against
the assessment. Since the petition was properly filed, she is requesting that the assessment be
abated.
The property will be assessed at the time it is sold for development, the development contract
will describe the assessment and how it should be paid.

RESOLUTION NO. 98 - 50
RESOLUTION RELATING TO FINANCING OF CERTAIN PROPOSED PROJECTS
TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE CITY OF LINO LAKES; ESTABLISHING
COMPLIANCE WITH REIMBURSEMENT BOND REGULATIONS UNDER THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes is in the practice of constructing certain improvements
and in some instances reimbursing itself for the cost of any portion of the improvements with
bond proceeds, and
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued proposed Treasury Regulations Section
1.103-17 (as proposed and/or finally adopted, the "Regulations") dealing with the issuance of
bonds where all or a portion of the proceeds are to be used to reimburse the City for any project
costs paid by the City prior to the time of the issuance of the bonds, and
WHEREAS, the Regulations generally required that the City make a prior declaration of its
official intent to reimburse itself for such prior expenditures out of the proceeds of a
subsequently issued taxable or tax exempt borrowing, that such declaration generally be made
prior to but not more than two years before the time the expenditure is actually paid, that the
borrowing occur and the reimbursement allocation be made from the proceeds of such borrowing
within one year of the payment of the expenditure or, if longer, within one year of the date the
project is placed in service, and the expenditures relate to property having a reasonably expected
economic life of at least one year.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes, Anoka

costs from the following source of sources of funds identified on Exhibit A.
d. The Bonds are proposed to be issued by the City pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 475, and other applicable statutory authority. The reasonably expected
sources of funds to be used by the City to pay the debt service on the Bonds are identified
on Exhibit A.
2. Budgetary Matters - As of the date hereof, there are no City funds reserved or otherwise
allocated pursuant to the City's budget (or expected to be reserved or allocated pursuant to
the City's budget) to provide permanent financing for the bonding portion of the project
costs, other than pursuant to the issuance of the Bonds. Furthermore, there has been no
allocation, budgeting, or restriction of moneys (or the adoption of a requirement or policy to
reimburse a fund) as part of the City's budgetary process, the primary purpose of which is to
prevent moneys from said sources from being available for the permanent financing of the
cots of the projects. This resolution, therefore, is determined to be consistent with the City's
budgetary and financial circumstances as they exist or are foreseeable on the date hereof, all
within the meaning and content of the Regulations.
3. Filing - This resolution shall be filed in the publicly available official books, records, or
proceedings of the City, which shall be continuously available for inspection by the general
public. This resolution shall be available for inspection at City Hall during normal business
hours of the City on every business day the period beginning on the earlier of 10 days after
the adoption hereof or the date of issuance of the reimbursement bonds and ending on the day
after the issuance of such bonds.
4. Reimbursement Allocation - The City's financial officer shall be responsible for making the
"reimbursement allocations" described in the Regulations, being generally the transfer of the
appropriate amount of proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse the source of temporary financing
used by the City to make payment of the prior costs of the projects. Each allocation shall be
evidenced by an entry on the official books and records of the City maintained for the Bonds,
shall specifically identify the actual prior expenditure being reimbursed, and shall be
effective to relieve the proceeds of the Bonds from any restriction under the bond resolution
or other relevant legal documents for the Bonds, and under any applicable state or federal
statute, which would apply to the unspent proceeds of such bond issue.
