residents that they are watching the cable broadcast of the City's Council meetings and
requested that all of the meetings be telecasted.
A Budget Workshop has been scheduled for Thursday, September 5, 5:15 p.m.
Hill Trail North Road Issue:
Council member DeLapp explained he had previously provided an assessment policy as it
regards to feeder roads and cul-de-sacs and had asked the Council to discuss the fairness
issue. He noted that the Hill Trail residents have received the City agenda sheet on
assessments who thought there were significant changes in the assessment policy that
would affect them. DeLapp asked that a letter be sent out to these residents clarifying
where the City stands on the procedure in regard to the fairness of assessing cul-de-sacs
and living on a feeder road. This item will be discussed under the City Engineer's report.
4. FINANCE DEPARTMENT:

checks. She thanked the staff for their understanding that they would not receive the
retroactive pay from the first of the year until the budget has been adopted.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 2
The Finance Director asked the Council what is the policy for retroactive pay for the
employees who were employed in the year 2002 who are no longer employed?
M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to authorize retroactive compensation to include all eligible
fulltime authorized employees in the year 2002. (Motion passed 5-0).

comp time and 80 hours of vacation time and approved it. She has done research and
needs to get a legal opinion on our policy.
M/S/P DeLapp/Siedow — to ask the Finance Committee to address this issue raised with
review of the possible comp time and overtime issues. (Motion passed 5-0).
C. Signature Authorization:
The Finance Director has talked to the Auditor, who is not in favor of any staff member
who has the ability to cut the checks for payment to sign these checks. The Finance
Director asked the Council to rescind this resolution giving her authorization for her
signature on the checks. The auditor also recommended the Mayor and an additional
Council Member sign the checks for the City's protection. Administrator Kueffner will
look into the statutory requirements.
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to rescind Resolution No. 2002-071 Designating Abigail Grenfell

Rand Wagner has missed most of the Parks Commission meetings in 2002 and unable to
contact him by phone to see if there is a reason he has not been able to attend. The Parks
Commission is having difficulty getting a quorum at their meeting. They have asked that
Mr. Wagner be officially removed from the Commission so they can seek out more active
members. Council member Dunn indicated the reason why it's been difficult to reach
Mr. Wagner is that he has out-of-town serving as President of the State Chapter for the
Jaycees. The Commission has also suggested that the number of Parks Commission
members be reduced so that getting a quorum might be easier.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002

passed 5-0).
7. MAINTENANCE/FIRE/PARKS/BUILDING REPORTS:
A. Partnership Project with Lake Elmo Baseball for VFW Ballfield
A co-operative effort is ongoing between the Lake Elmo Baseball Association and the
City. Completed improvements include a new outfield fence, warning track, batting
cage, dugouts, and electrical power to the batting cage. Tom Edison, Lake Elmo
Baseball, offered to do the labor to sod and install the concrete pads for the bleachers if
the City incurs the cost. There is money in both the CIP and Landscape Budget to cover
this expense. Administrator Kueffner recommends the money be taken from the
Landscape Budget.
M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp - to approve the expenditure of $2700 (plus sales tax applicable) to
provide the sod, concrete, black dirt and lumber for sodding the infield and the
installation of the refurbished bleachers from Lions Park, based on the Lake Elmo
Baseball Association providing the labor for these improvements. Further that the
monies to pay for this project be taken from the Parks Department's Landscape Budget.
The water line may need to be extended, and this item will come back at a later date.
(Motion passed 5-0).
B. Ridge Park Grading and Seeding
The Council directed staff to solicit quotes for the grading and seeding of baseball field
and play area at Ridge Park. Quotes were solicited from Arnt Construction, Frattilone
Construction, J.J. Charles and Sons, Inc. and Mogen Brothers. The City only received a
bid from Mogren Brothers for $46,685. The Parks Supervisor did not feel comfortable
proceeding with this project when only one bid was received. He preferred to rebid in the
spring.
Council member Armstrong raised the question is the City overbuilding neighborhood
parks? This will become a future agenda item for Council discussion.
M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to postpone work on the Parkview Ballfield until the spring of
2003, as recommended by the Parks Supervisor. (Motion passed 5-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
C. Sunfish Lake Park Fence Quotes
The Parks Supervisor reported the Council has approved the placement of a corridor
fence through the MPCA site to create a west access into the park for the Tri-lakes area.
The following quotes were obtained:
Century Fence $ 5,807.00
First Quality Fence $ 6,475.00
Dakota Fence $10,165.00
Staff recommended contracting with Century Fence. It was noted that Century Fence did
all of the MPCA original fencing. Funding source for this project would be the Parks
CIP.
M/S/P DeLapp/Dunn — to award the bid for a corridor fence through the MCPA site to
create a west access to Sunfish Park to Century Fence in the amount of $5,807.00, plus
sales tax if applicable. (Motion passed 5-0).
D. Hazardous Tree Removal in Right -of -Way
Park Supervisor, Mike Bouthilet, reported the City has two large dead trees on its right-
of-way that could be a potential hazard. The removal of these trees is beyond the scope
of the Public Works Department because of the need to climb and top the trees. The
supervisor received three quotes and recommended going with the low bidder ($458.00),
St. Croix Tree Service Inc, Roberts, WI.
M/S/P Duuv/DeLapp — to award the bid for removal of two dead trees in the City's right-
of-way to St.Croix Tree Service, Roberts, WI in the amount of $458 (plus tax if

LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 6
9. PLANNING. LAND USE & ZONING:
A. Planning Commission Recommendation on General Business Zoning Uses
The City Planner reported the Planning Commission adopted a motion recommending
rezoning of the seven parcels along I-94 presently zoned GB to zones consistent with the
Land Use Plan of the 1990 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. Staff reminded the
Commission that rezoning to consistency with the adopted Comprehensive Plan within
nine months of the adoption of that plan is mandatory by State Statute. It has been more
than 9 months since 1990 for these parcels.
M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to direct the staff to initiate the process with setting up a
public hearing to consider the rezoning of PID's 330292144003 (Auto Body Shop);
3302921440005 (Dental); 3402921330005 (Marine Sales); 3402921330004 (Building
Materials Sales); 3402921340004 (Multi -tenant); and 3602921330001 (Undeveloped)

(Undeveloped) From GB (General Business) to AG (Agricultural). (Motion passed 5-0).
B. Landscape Architect to review OP Concept Plans
Planner Dillerud reported the Planning Commission request of the Council more
specifically exactly what features of an OP Concept Plan that a contract landscape
Architect would be expected to review. They can then address how those Concept Plan
features could be codified in terms that would provide guidance for both perspective
applicants, and the contract Landscape Architect reviewer that would pass the "capricious
and arbitrary" test. The Planner suggested the Council appoint a representative to work
directly with the Planning Commission on this subject.
M/S/P Armstrong/Hunt — to appoint Steve DeLapp to work directly with the Planning
Commission to identify specific issues of concern with OP Concept Plans that could be
appropriately reviewed by a contract Landscape Architect, with a 60-day timeframe to
come back to the Council with a recommendation. (Motion passed 5-0).
C. Community Facilities and Staffing Forecast
M/S/P Armstrong/Siedow — to adopt Resolution No. 2002-088, A Resolution Receiving
the Building Inventory/Condition Analysis Study Report Prepared by Toltz, King,
Duvall, Anderson and Associates (TKDA). (Motion passed 5-0).
D. Metropolitan Council — Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan
Mayor Hunt requested this matter be placed on the Agenda for discussion. Mayor Hunt
suggested holding a public meeting to open up debate, evaluate options and impacts.
Council member Siedow wanted to get the people involved in order to get their input on
what they want. He suggested, previously, a referendum if the City should have sewer or
not to have sewer. Council member DeLapp had no problem holding a public meeting,
and if all the people said they wanted large amounts of sewer, he would have to
reconsider his vote.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 7
Council member Armstrong recommended the City present the Comprehensive Plan "as
it is" and stay strong. Council member Armstrong and Dunn emphasized that the more
development the City has, the more it costs the City to provide services. Sewer is not the
only way for a City to develop.
Council member Dunn suggested sending out a letter to the residents explaining what the
issues are and the reasons why the City has chosen the road the have taken.
M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong - to direct the City Planner to respond that the City is not going
to take any further action than to respond to the E mail memo from Mr. Sheehy, Met
Council, of August 30, 2002 and that the Planner will answer as he has time. (Motion
passed 4-1:Siedow: Discussion should be going on.).
M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to request the Met Council remove the Lake Elmo Interceptor
from the proposed CIP. (Motion passed 4-1:Siedow)
E. Shafer Mining
Council member DeLapp reported that on Friday and Monday there was large amounts of
gravel on Jamaca that went way beyond the bike path even down to Highway 5, even to
36' and 37"' Street. Shafer was clearing the gravel off the road on Tuesday. Our holiday
weekend should not be spoiled for the people who live on the streets with a dirt pile.
DeLapp proposed fining the company or have our maintenance crew clean the streets and
send Shafer a bill.
M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong - to direct the planner to send Shafer Mining a letter indicating
the Council has discussed this matter and either the City needs an agreement from Shafer
Mining to sweep on a daily basis, when operating, or the City will do the sweeping and
send Shafer a bill. (Motion passed 5-0). The City Planner will inform the Council in a
few weeks.
10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None
ILCITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
A. MAC — Capital Improvement Program
Council member Siedow stated he is not against hanger expansion (62 hangers proposed),
but he is against runway expansion.
M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to direct the City Administrator to send a letter to MAC opposing
the CIP indicating the City is opposed to building infrastructure to support new runways
which would change the nature of the airport. (Motion passed 5-0).
M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to draft a letter to MAC indicating the City of Lake Elmo is not
interested in renaming the Lake Elmo Airport and send a copy of the April 16, 2002
Council Minutes which indicates the above. (Motion passed 5-0).
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
12. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS:
A. Mayor Hunt
Organizational Chart:
Mayor Hunt had previously provided an Organizational Chart to give a jump start to the
City for discussion on internal organization showing lines of command and
communication. He suggested this be done through a Personnel Committee which would
make sure personnel policies are up-to-date, make recommendations for new positions,
rewrite job descriptions, and develop lines of communications. Council member Dunn
volunteered to serve on the Personnel Committee.
M/S/F DeLapp/Armstrong — to approve the plan the Mayor has put forward, at least on an
interim basis. (Motion failed 2-3: Dunn: we need to look at this thoroughly and get more
information; Hunt: There would be more confusion if we just implemented this chart now
without communicating with people involved and asked that the personnel committee
come back with a plan drawn up; Siedow: agreed with reasons stated.).
M/S/P Siedow/Armstrong — to form a Personnel Committee comprised of Mayor Hunt
and Council member Dunn with Council member Siedow serving as an alternate.
(Motion passed 5-0).
M/S/P Siedow/Armstrong - to direct the Personnel Committee to work with the
Administrator, Assistant Administrator, Finance Director to come back with a
recommendation on how to implement the top two tiers of the Organizational Chart by
Wednesday, September 11, in order to be included in the Council packet. (Motion passed
5-0).
Council member DeLapp suggested the Mayor be the liaison between the Finance
Committee and the Personnel Committee.
Personnel Issues
Mayor Hunt stated there were issues reported to him between the Administrator and
Finance Director that the Council needs to investigate. This could deal with performance
issues of both the City Administrator and Finance Director and could be delayed until the
next meeting. Attorney Filla explained if the purpose of the meeting is to investigate
charges and allegations, the law states the meeting must be closed unless the people being
discussed want the meeting to be opened. If the purpose of the meeting is to discuss
performance evaluation, that meeting may be closed, but the person being evaluated has
the right to request that the meeting be open.
The Mayor stated he called the administrator and left a message, but she did not get the
message in time to place the item on the agenda. There was no meeting notice indicating
the purpose of this item.
Administrator Kueffner stated she was not aware of any issues that happened in the last
week. Kueffner indicated she would only attend an open meeting.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 9
The Finance Director extended out to the Council an added conversation that not only
involved her, but a public works staff, and an altercation she witnessed tonight with the
cable caster. The Finance Director asked that the meeting to discuss the issues be closed.
Council member Siedow and Dunn stated they were only getting bits and pieces of
information on what was going on with staff. Without being told what this conflict is all
about, Dunn stated a disservice has been done to her and others involved.
Mayor Hunt stated the Council would have to determine if these charges were allegations
that would be improper conduct on the City Administrator's part. These are the
allegations brought out in the Finance Directors' memo to the Council about the lack of
cooperation on preparing the budget and allegations of some improper conduct.
Since this will take time to get done and the City will not be able to get work done,
Council member Siedow suggested somebody be placed on administrative leave until the
issues are resolved.
M/S/ DeLapp/Siedow — to place somebody on administrative leave
Mayor Hunt suggested before the Council takes that step that it schedule a meeting with
Dr. Herried between the Finance Director, Administrator and himself. This does not state
specifically who to place on administrative leave. Council member DeLapp stated the
person would be the current administrator for a specific time determined by Council.
Administrator Kueffner indicated the Council received something in writing that she
didn't get a copy. Kueffner added that major allegations are being made against her and
she has the right to see them, even before the Council.
Council member Siedow stated he wasn't thinking the City Administrator be placed on
leave and withdrew his second. The motion died for lack of a Second.
Council member Siedow made the following motion:
M/Siedow/No Second - that the City Finance Director be placed on paid leave until
these issues are resolved. This motion died for a lack of a Second.
Mayor Hunt stated, as part of the process, he had promised the Council would deal with
issues when brought to them. He suggested adding an updated summary on the progress
of issues between the City Administrator, Finance Director, Mayor and Dr. Herried, Sand
Creek Group, to the Budget Workshop scheduled for Thursday, September 5th.
M/S/P Siedow/DeLapp — that the City Administrator, Finance Director, Mayor Hunt and
Dr. Herried be directed to meet Wednesday to discuss issues and the Mayor be directed to
bring unresolved issues to Council at the budget workshop scheduled for Thursday,
September 5a' at 5:15. (Motion passed 5-0).

LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
Mayor Hunt called the workshop to discuss Keats Avenue issues to order at 5:00 p.m. in
the Council Chambers. PRESENT: COUNCIL: Siedow, Hunt, Armstrong, DeLapp;
Planning Commissioner Diane Taylor. Environmental Commissioner Dean Johnston.
ALSO PRESENT: Administrator Kueffner, Code Enforcement Officer Jim McNamara,
Finance Director Abby Grenfell, Prosecuting Attorney Kevin Shoeberg, and Animal
Control Officer Kathi Pelnar
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Ziertman started the discussion with concerns and changes they
would like to see in Section 1320 Dogs of the Lake Elmo Code. Questions raised were:
What is considered dog "at large"? What is the procedure for when a dog is "at large"?
Kathi Pelnar, Lake Elmo ACO, responded they could call her if an animal needs to be
picked up. Kathi would ask that they try to confine the animal, and she would come to
pick the dog up as soon as possible. If the animal is threatening, they should call 911.
Rod Sessing asked what would be considered threatening. Council member Siedow said
he considered any rottweiller threatening, whether they are wagging their tail or not.
Council member DeLapp noted, if you are on a bicycle and a large strange dog comes
running toward you, this could be considered threatening.
Rod Sessing reported the incident on July 29t" was not his dog. It was 1 '/2 year old dog
that belonged to his daughter. This dog was playing with his dog, but wandered off for a
few minutes.
Mr. and Mrs. Ziertman asked what you think went through their children's mind when
this dog came into their yard. The children weigh only 30 and 60 lbs. One child was
smart enough to lock himself into a metal kennel for protection. Mr. Ziertman asked
Mayor Hunt why he reacted frightened of the dog when he came to the house. Was it the
size or the bark that caused him to be afraid? Mayor Hunt stated the dog was heading
toward the property line and barked continually until it was called back. He has been on
the attacked side in his life and has backed away from large breed dogs.
The Ziertmans explained they wanted to fix the problem with relying solely on invisible
fencing as the method of containment. When the power goes out, and this happens
frequently in Lake Elmo, there is no signal to keep the dogs contained in the yard. The
Ziertmans said they know for a fact that the invisible fence is not enough. There should
be some responsibility by the owner. If the dog owner is not home, the dog should be in a
kennel or restrained.
Rod Sessing reported his two dogs are contained on his property and have not been out in
over a year. On June 9tt' the invisible fencing did not work He has put in new wiring
around the entire perimeter and installed larger collars because the original collars were
not working properly. He also added additional fencing on the back property line.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 3, 2002
Kathi Pelnar, ACO, noted that she picks up as many dogs with collars as without. She
pointed out that snow load can change effectiveness of an invisible fence.
Council member Armstrong asked if the dog owner received a guarantee from the
invisible fence company. Council member Dunn said the invisible fencing doesn't keep
other dogs from coming into their yard. Council member Siedow asked if we are here to
discuss existing laws that are being broken or are we here to change existing laws?
Council member DeLapp explained he received calls, as well as had other Council
members, on what happened on that particular occasion with the Animal Control Officer
and asked if the complaint was followed through.
Mike Smith, former Lake Elmo ACO, reported he did go out to the Ziertman property
and wrote a ticket for "at large" and one for dog with no license. Mike told Rod Sessing
that if he got a license for the dog he would dismiss the "no dog license" ticket, but he
would not dismiss the dog at large for the Sessings.
Mr. Ziertman explained he asked the City for information on how this was followed
through and found out that Rod Sessing had to go to court. Therefore, Steve was going to
take the day off from work to attend. Steve Ziertman said he talked to Attorney
Shoeberg, who said he received a call stating this was a family matter and should not get
involved. Mr. Ziertman had a tape recording of the conversation he had with Attorney
Shoeberg.
Attorney Shoeberg explained he reviewed the information provided. Mr. Sessing told
him he replaced all the wiring and fixed the fence problem. Shoeberg looked at this as a
one time incident. He did not receive any information from the City that this was a family
matter. Shoeberg thought he knew what Mr. Ziertman was referring to. After this incident
occurred, he got a report from the City on another issue, but it had nothing to do with the
dog "at large" ticket.
Mike Smith asked why this has become an issue when he has written many tickets for
dog "at large" and "no license". Was this because a ticket was written to a Planning
Commission member? Smith stated he had heard Mr. Sessing sent an email to the City
Administrator asking her to intervene between him and Attorney Shoeberg. Smith said
he was told by the City Administrator that he was interfering into a family affair and
taking sides. Smith said he had warned Mrs. Sessing, a year before, that her rottweiler
was out chasing someone. His policy has been to give them one warning, and within a
year's time if he has done it again, he issues a ticket.
Administrator Kueffner stated for the record, she never received an e-mail from Rod
Sessing, nor did she ever ask Mike Smith or direct Kevin Shoeberg to dismiss the ticket.
LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 3, 2002 2
Attorney Shoeberg explained the Council and/or administrator can call him, and he will
respond to their inquiries. It has never been his policy to take direction from any member
of the City Council on which case to prosecute. It was his understanding that this meeting
was to review and discuss the ordinances and recommend changes.
Mayor Hunt explained he was invited by the Ziertmans, who pointed out four issues of
concern, which Hunt sent to the City to see if any complaints were on record. Jim
McNamara stated there was a rock on some slope which was corrected. The pile of
debris was called out which was a screened fence that was started. Jim McNamara stated
no permit is required for a fence unless it is for over 8 ft. in height
Mr. Ziertman stated he wants equal enforcement for everyone. When Jim McNamara
comes out and cites him about his placement of his trailers, he moves them, but Jim does
not go to the Sessings. Steve Ziertman added the problem is that the City has not yet
clarified what a "rear yard" can be. Planner Dillerud indicated "rear yard" has been
defined by Attorney Filla and thought the issue was resolved. He would contact Filla
again regarding the rear yard definition.
Attorney Shoeberg stated this is the first time he has heard about trailers, and there are no
citations on trailers sitting in his office. Letters of correction from Jim McNamara are not
considered citations. Steve Ziertman asked where the letter went that was sent from his
attorney.
Mayor Hunt stated the Council has directed the staff to enforce the ordinances in exactly
the same way for all the residents. Planner Dillerud indicated code enforcement, without
a full time army of inspectors, can run into a squeaking wheel and then you grease it.
A policy decision will have to be made to prioritize these issues and at what cost. Steve
Ziertman suggested an article be inserted in the City Newsletter stating the City will
enforce all City ordinances and complaints will be followed through.
Eric Lipman told of an incident where Mr. Mehle, a jogger running along Stillwater
Blvd., was attacked by rottweiler dogs. The EMT's had to be escorted by the sheriff. His
concern is when a victim is badly injured; there should be some contact with the victim
before an arrangement to settle the case. There should not be a summary kind of
arrangement without checking in with the victim. Attorney Shoeberg responded, whether
it is a dog bite or dog at large, it is important to get all the information and input from
people involved. Shoeberg pointed out you can read in the newspaper, articles on dog
issues and these are not just in Lake Elmo.
Mike Smith suggested language be added to the code that if a property owner has
installed invisible fencing and is not physically present, their dogs should be fenced in,
kenneled or chained.
