2G Consideration of ratifying the negotiated Labor Agreement between the City of
Monticello and the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 49 for April 1,
2015 to March 31, 2017
Tom Perrault stated that he has an issue with the language in the labor agreement for
Article 10.01 related to overtime pay being granted in excess of 8 hours of work within a
24 -hour period of time. He feels that overtime pay should not be granted on a daily basis,
but was okay with the 40 hour work week overtime provisions. Glen Posusta questioned
whether Council is really able to pull individual items out of the proposed contract. Jeff
O'Neill stated that Council could either deny or approve the contract with a
recommendation for a change that would have to be negotiated and brought back to
Council for approval. Council members indicated that supervisors should be making sure
employees do not receive overtime pay in excess of 8 hours within a 24 -hour time frame
unless it is absolutely necessary and approved in advance.
LLOYD HILGART MOVED TO RATIFY THE 2015 -2017 LOCAL 49 UNION

City Council Minutes — May 26, 2015 Page 5111
2H. Consideration of approving final payment of $181,544.53 to Veolia Water for
2014 wastewater treatment plant contract services
Brian Stumpf asked Wayne Oberg to address the amount payable on the Veolia Water
contract. Wayne Oberg asked that there are two parts to the wastewater treatment plant
contract: one is for reimbursable expenses and one is for personal services. The 2014
contract budget was submitted by Chuck Keyes with the amounts of $234,504 for
reimbursable expenses and $585,096 for personal services. There are provisions in the
contract which includes an annual fee adjustment formula for determining the base
compensation if an amount is not negotiated. This created an increase in the amount that
was budgeted. 2015 is the last year of the contract with Veolia. The City will need to
take into consideration what options are available for a new contract or to utilize internal
staffing.
Lloyd Hilgart commented on the changes in the budget reconciliation and stated that it
appears that Veolia's actual expenditures are not paid in regard to what is budgeted.
Wayne Oberg indicated that the payments are linked to the formulas in the contract,
which terminates at the end of 2015.
LLOYD HILGART MOVED TO APPROVE FINAL PAYMENT OF $181,544.53 TO

3. Public Hearings - None
4. Regular Agenda
A. Consideration of adopting Resolution #2015 -041 authorizing a letter of support
for the Monarch Development Group as related to an affordable workplace
townhome development on the former Ruff property (PID 155 - 500 - 101418)
Angela Schumann presented the proposal from Monarch Development Group for
development of an affordable workplace townhome project. In order to proceed
with their application to the MN Housing Finance Agency for the affordable
City Council Minutes — May 26, 2015 Page 6 111
housing tax credit program, they need Council approval of a letter of support from
the City. Angela Schumann talked about the site, which is part of the former Ruff
Auto salvage yard. Angela Schumann noted that the City has already invested in
the property when they received state grants for contamination clean-up of the
Ruff Auto site. The goal of the grants was to remediate the contamination to
facilitate future residential development, which matches the goal of the Monarch
Group proposal to develop townhome units for city residents.
Mike Kearney of Monarch Development Group spoke briefly about their proposal
and handed out plans and drawings about the project to council members. Their
firm is proposing a development called Cygnet Landing. Mr. Kearney talked
about his company and some of the consulting firms that they work with. He
emphasized the high quality of their products. Cygnet Landing would consist of
45 units of affordable workplace housing, with rents ranging from $950 for a 2-
bedroom unit to $1,100 for a 3- bedroom. Tenants would have to meet income
guidelines. Monarch Group plans to invest about $10 million in the development.
They are looking for a letter of support from the City as part of their application
process for the affordable housing tax credits.
Brian Stumpf asked him to comment on the timeline. Mike Kearney discussed
the process, which is very competitive. They would not anticipate approval from
MN Housing Finance Agency until October at the earliest. Following that, they
would go through the city zoning process, with building permits issued and
construction beginning in Spring of 2016. Lloyd Hilgart asked whether they
would hold these units or sell them. Kearney explained they would hold the
investment and partner with Wells Fargo Bank for the affordable tax credits.
They would also utilize a property management company to manage the
townhome complex. The property would remain under this status for at least 15
years. Lloyd Hilgart asked whether the tax credits are a subsidy, allowing them to
rent below market value. Kearney confirmed that the tax credits would be a rent
subsidy. However, the rent amounts being proposed are actually at market rent
for this area.
Glen Posusta questioned the value of the investment as he felt the units didn't
appear to be of the quality based on the amount to be expended. Kearney
explained that there are other factors that go into the investment besides the brick
and mortar construction. Glen Posusta also asked about the tax valuation of the
property. Elizabeth Nesbitt explained that it would be commercial property
subject to the taxation rules in Minnesota.
Charlotte Gabler asked them to comment on why they chose Monticello, being
that they are from the east coast. Kearney noted reasons including: location on
the freeway, streetscape along 7`" Street West, current business development, job
opportunities, and relative location to the metro area. Charlotte Gabler asked why
they build a townhome style rather than apartment buildings. Kearney explained
that townhomes tend to be better suited for families compared to an apartment
building, which gives a sense of home. Charlotte Gabler asked about how the
City Council Minutes — May 26, 2015 Page 7 111
units are marketed. Elizabeth Nesbitt explained that the townhomes would be
advertised at market rents, not as a subsidized housing. Kearney explained that
these units are not Section 8 housing; rent subsidies are based on family income
and family size.
Kim Bretheim of LHB talked about the Cygnet project that they are planning and
designing. They would plan to extend 6 1/2 Street West into the property and add
ponding for drainage. The units would be arranged to face each other along
interior roads, would have 2 -car garages, and would have both front and back
doors. There would be a central outside play area in the complex. The cost of the
development would include funding of reserves to sustain operating and
maintenance costs. They plan to use materials that exceed building code
requirements. He displayed pictures of two projects which have been constructed
in Apple Valley and Rosemount; this would be similar to what they intend for the
Monticello project. Those projects were done with the same type of financing
planned for Cygnet Landing. Square footage of units range from 1100 for a 2-
bedroom to 1500 for a 3- bedroom, plus a 2 -car garage.
Glen Posusta asked about projects in Minnesota, and it was confirmed that LHB
has main offices in Duluth, Minnesota and is in the process of constructing a
number of various projects across the state. Charlotte Gabler asked Jeff O'Neill
to check references from other Minnesota projects.
Tom Perrault asked if 6 1/2 Street is currently a public street. Staff confirmed that
and indicated that other internal streets of the development would be private. All
street development costs will be the responsibility of the developer.
CHARLOTTE GABLER FOR ALTERNATIVE #1 TO ADOPT RESOLUTION
#2015 -041 AUTHORIZING A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE MONARCH
DEVELOPMENT GROUP AS RELATED TO AN AFFORDABLE
WORKPLACE TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT ON THE FORMER RUFF
PROPERTY (PID 155 - 500 - 101418). GLEN POSUSTA SECONDED THE
MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4 -1 WITH TOM PERRAULT VOTING IN
OPPOSITION.
B. Consideration of supporting an alignment option for the future extension of
School Boulevard West to County Road 39
Angela Schumann noted that Council is being asked to consider the alignment of
School Boulevard west extension as related to the Bertram Chain of Lakes
parkland. Brian Stumpf commented that he would like to see Alternate #1 revised
to end the School Boulevard extension at the Spike property. This revision would
still result in deflecting the road so that it would not be routed through Bertram
Chain of Lakes parkland. Other council members indicated their agreement with
that change.
City Council Minutes — May 26, 2015 Page 8 111
BRIAN STUMPF MOVED FOR ALTERNATE #1 TO SUPPORT AN OPTION
FOR FUTURE WESTERN EXTENSION OF SCHOOL BOULEVARD UP TO
THE SPIKE PROPERTY AND AVOID A ROUTE THROUGH THE
BERTRAM CHAIN OF LAKES PARKLAND. GLEN POSUSTA SECONDED
THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4 -1 WITH TOM PERRAULT VOTING
IN OPPOSITION.
C. Consideration of approving an option for the Fallon Avenue Overpass alignment
Jeff O'Neill summarized this item from discussion that took place at a workshop
prior to the Council meeting. He asked Shibani Bisson and Chuck Rickart to
review the alignment options so that Council can select a preferred option.
Chuck Rickart reviewed the study process which started with eight possible
options for alignment of the Fallon Avenue overpass. The original drawing
started with a simple design for an overpass across I -94 that met at 7d, Street on
the north and Chelsea on the south. Discussions over time narrowed the options
to Alternate 3A and Alternate 5, with Alternate 3A recommended by the
Transportation Advisory Committee. Alternate 3A incorporates two roundabouts
on the north side of the freeway along 76 Street at the intersection of the overpass
and at the intersection of Washington Street. Alternate 5 utilizes a single
roundabout on the north side of the freeway; this roundabout forms a 4 -leg
intersection with 7h Street on the east and west legs, the overpass on the south
leg, and Washington/Fallon on the north leg. It is proposed to include a
roundabout on the south intersection with Chelsea Road, but that is open to
adjustment. Glen Posusta noted that he favors the single roundabout design.
Brian Stumpf summarized a few concerns that were reported at the workshop.
Transportation Advisory Committee favors Alternate 3A rather than Alternate 5,
although a concern was expressed about traffic being directed through two
roundabouts and the possible traffic impact in the event that a second river
crossing is constructed at Washington Street. There was a concern expressed
about the grade at 7h Street where it approaches the roundabout located near the
Fallon Avenue overpass. Jeff O'Neill commented that the grade is actually of
value because drivers do not need, to see vehicles approaching from the other
direction; drivers attention should be directed at vehicles already in the
roundabout.
Lloyd Hilgart commented that he prefers Alternate 3A for the roundabouts at 7'
Street and the overpass and on the south side at Chelsea. However, he is not
convinced that a roundabout is needed at this time where 7t' Street intersects
Washington Street. Brian Stumpf noted that the advantage of including the
second roundabout at Washington at this time is to reduce the impacts of
construction now and then again in the future when it would need to be
constructed. Charlotte Gabler also noted that the roundabouts are single lane
design.

D. Consideration of approving the submission of a letter of intent for an EDA and/or
HRA levy
Angela Schumann discussed the EDA workshop that was held prior to the
Council meeting and explained that Council is being asked to authorize
submission of a letter of intent to Wright County for a non - binding EDA and /or
HRA levy. This would not indicate approval of any type of a levy at this time;
said letter would simply indicate an intent to propose an EDA and/or HRA levy as
part of the 2016 budget process.
CHARLOTTE GABLER MOVED FOR ALTERNATIVE #1 TO APPROVE
THE SUBMISSION OF A LETTER OF INTENT TO WRIGHT COUNTY FOR
AN EDA AND /OR HRA LEVY FOR 2016. LLOYD HILGART SECONDED
THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4 -1 WITH TOM PERRAULT VOTING
IN OPPOSITION.
5. Added Items
• Donation drop -offs: Charlotte Gabler and Brian Stumpf both commented on the
problem with people dumping items outside the Goodwill drop -off box located in
the Eastview School parking lot. Goodwill empties the container when it is full,
but does not pick up any items that are not accepted in their program. The school
is participating with Goodwill this as a fundraiser, and Brian Stumpf feels that this
should be addressed with the school district. Wayne Oberg indicated that he had
heard from the school and they are not going to continue this if it continues to
create problems.
• Reucling Carts: Charlotte Gabler asked if larger carts are available for recycling.
Wayne Oberg explained that larger carts are not part of the program now;
however residents can pay an extra fee to have another cart. Charlotte Gabler
asked if the city could check on possibility of larger carts.
• Peddlers: Charlotte Gabler asked if peddler information could be posted on city
website when they register with the City. Cathy Shuman explained that is already
being done.
• Friendship Island: Brian Stumpf asked city staff to look at the viability of adding
a site for Friendship Island in the former Rivers of Hope office suite. Charlotte
Gabler talked about the program and how it functions; she explained that this is
not a daycare but rather a day camp for preteens. Brian Stumpf indicated that he
has already asked city staff to do a space needs study and would like to include
City Council Minutes — May 26, 2015 Page 10 111
Friendship Island in that study. Consensus is to report back to Council by the first
meeting in July.
Lloyd Hilgart asked what they are doing right now for Friendship Island.
Charlotte Gabler explained that MCC was using the Warehouse Room but that is
also used for a lot of other programs. They have utilized space at the Swan River
School, but are running out of room.
• MCC wristband expenditure: Brian Stumpf noted that letters of reprimand related
to wristband purchasing were placed in the files of the MCC Director and Finance
Director and should be considered for the City Administrator.
MOTION BY GLEN POSUSTA TO PUT A LETTER OF REPRIMAND IN
THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S PERSONNEL FILE REGARDING THE

Brian Stumpf reported on the Personnel Committee recommendation to review
the city's purchasing policy to make sure that it is clear as to what is allowed and
not. Brian Stumpf pointed out that they found expenditures in excess of $10,000
on regularly- budgeted items, such as for sand and salt purchases.
