1. Call to Order
Mayor Brian Stumpf called the special meeting to order at 5 p.m.
2. 5 p.m. Road Reconstruction Policy
Matt Leonard, City Engineer/Public Works Director, gave a presentation on the
recommended road reconstruction policy. The presentation described the history of the
city's road reconstruction charge for the improvement of adjacent roadways associated
with development, reviewed the Harstad vs. City of Woodbury MN Supreme Court
decision that found cities do not have authority to impose an infrastructure fee for future
road improvements as part of approving residential development, and looked at options
for improving roadways adjacent to the development in light of the recent court ruling.
There was minimal discussion of council. There was consensus of council that staff
continue to make required safety improvements as required by traffic impact analysis on
adjacent roadway, improve roadways to urban standards when the improvements are
warranted, and continue to obtain right-of-way for urban roadway improvements.
3. 5:45 p.m. Stormwater Policy
Ryan Melhouse, Engineering Technician, presented the proposed Stormwater
policy/Stormwater utility. As part of the presentation Mr. Melhouse reviewed Stormwater
utility background, Stormwater maintenance items and activities, expenses, area cities'
fees, and the proposed fee for Monticello. The fee proposed would help cover the costs
for complying with the city's federal Stormwater permit and the costs for street sweeping,
Stormwater pond and pipe maintenance, and other requirements per the city's MS4
stormwater permit.
Staff proposed a $1 fee per month per drainage unit. This fee would generate
approximately $123,000 annually. Residential property is proposed to be billed at one
drainage unit per residence and non-residential will be billed at 7 drainage units per acre
of impervious surface with a minimum of 7 drainage unity.
It was a consensus of the City Council that staff continue with the development of an
ordinance for the creation of this utility fee.
