AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
1. Consideration of Conditional Use Permit and Variances for the Rivercrest
Christian School.
PURPOSE: To consider a conditional use permit for the Rivercrest Christian
School to allow a residence to be used as educational classrooms, and
consideration of variances from the sideyard setback provisions along with
variances from the City's ordinance requiring parking lots to be hard -
surfaced with a continuous concrete curb barrier.
At the time of advertising for the conditional use for Ery Radunz and
Terry Mick's conditional use to build two 18 -unit apartment buildings in
Lauring Hillside Terrace, it was brought to our attention that the
Rivercrest Christian School had moved students into the house adjacent
to the Assembly of Cod Church to the west.
This information was brought to our attention by one of the people
receiving a conditional use hearing notice.
Basically, what has happened, is that the administration of the
Rivercrest Christian School, knowing they needed more room to expand their
educational classrooms, chose to expand into the house to the west of the
Assembly of Cod church which they already owned. They did not, apparently,
know that the school's expansion would require a conditional use, as provided
by Monticello ordinance, in order that they might expand.
i
According to Monticello ordinances, it is necessary for a private educa-
tional facility to obtain a conditional use permit in an R-2 zone. Accord-
ing to the provisions of the ordinance for conditional use permits for
private educational facilities, sideyards shall be double that required for
the district, but no greater than 30', screening from abutting residential
uses and landscaping is to be provided, and parking is to be in compliance
with Monticello City ordinances. Additionally, the criteria used for any
conditional use permit, according to our ordinance, should be based on the
following:
A. Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan.
D. The geographical area involved.
C. Whether such use would tend to or actually depreciate the area in which
it is proposed.
D. The character of the surrounding area.
E. The demonstrated need for such use.

Council Agenda - 11/24/80
Since the existing house in which the classes are going to be held was
in place prior to the zoning, it may be difficult to meet some of the con-
ditions of a conditional use for an educational institution in an R-2 zone.
They include doubling the sideyard required for the district, but no greater
than 30'. Adequate off-street parking is available on the property between
the house and the church; however, it is not hardsurfaced, nor does it have
a continuous concrete curb around its perimeter. Additionally, there is
no screening currently existing from the abutting residential uses.
Our zoning administrator met with Mr. Gahart Decker, a representative of the
Rivercrest Christian School, and toured the dwelling in which the classes
are being held. There would be some building code requirements to upgrade
portions of the dwelling, should permission be granted to continue the
educational use within that residential facility. Mr. Decker stated that
presently they are in the planning stage for an addition to the Assembly of
God Church/Rivercrest Christian School, but that it would be a few months
more before final plans would be ready to be submitted at a conditional
use hearing. Our Building Inspector is also meeting on Friday, November 21,
1980, with a representative from the State Fire Marshall's office to review
the building to make sure it is in compliance with the State Fire code.
Enclosed, you will find 100 signatures that the Rivercrest Christian School
has obtained, including sixteen who they indicate live in the ares. Addi-
tionally, you will find two items of correspondence in opposition to the
request from Mr. b Mrs. Ifedtke and Mr. b Mrs. Lyle Klatt, and an item of
correspondence in favor from Mr. b Mrs. Richard Rasmussen. Additionally,
at the Planning Commission meeting (see copy of the minutes enclosed) there
was testimony in favor and in opposition to this particular request.
The main area of opposition focused on the lack of playground facilities
that the School itself had and control of the kids from wandering onto
private property. However, it should he pointed out that the concern
expressed in opposition would still be prevalent regardless of the fact
that the School is now applying for additional facility to use no educa-
tional facilities.
PLANa1NG C')MMISSION RECOMMENDATION: After the conclusion of the public
hearing, the Planning Commission, at their last meeting, voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the conditional use permit and variances until
June 1, 1981, which would in effect allow the School to develop a plan to
better control the children in the area and keep them from going onto pri-
vate property. At the conclusion of this period of time, the Rivercrest
Christian School could reapply for a permanent conditional use permit. In
this way, the Rivercreat Christian School would be allowed to finish out
the School Year at the present facility and give them a further opportunity
to resolve the problems brought out at the public hearing. It would be
intended that if this matter is approved by the City Council, a public
hearing be held for any extension or continuation of the conditional use
permit to allow residents in the area input to determine the degree of success
or lack of success the school administration has had with resolving the
problem.

Council Agenda - 11/24/80
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of conditional use permit and variances for
the Rivercrest Christian School. If a motion is made to approve the request,
an indication should be made as to whether the approval would be a permanent
conditional use permit or whether such permit would be reviewed and if so,
after what period of time.* 4o giQ.ex

2. Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit Request - First Baptist Church
of Monticello.
PURPOSE: First Baptist Church of Monticello is planning to build a struc-
ture that would house classroom facilities and bathrooms for Sunday School
instruction.
According to Monticello City Ordinances, a church, or church -related use,
requires a conditional use permit. It should be pointed out that although
there are obviously similarities, the request by the First Baptist Church
is not exactly the same as that by the Rivercrest Christian School, since
the useage of the educational facilities for the Rivercrest Christian School
would be proposed on a daily basis, nine months a year.
In 1979, a representative of the First Baptist Church in Monticello began
plans and preparations for building an entire new complex for church
facility on the site of the existing First Baptist Church, and utilizing
the existing facility either as a parsonage or another possibility that
was explored was the sale of the property for a duplex. However, since
that time, available mortgage money has evaporated, and it was almost
impossible for the Church, according to Reverend Oas, to obtain mortgage
money.
As a result, the Church is now considering adding an additional structure
to the site, which would be a UBC (Uniform Building Code) approved struc-
ture. Initially, this was understood to be n mobile home, but after some
further investigation by Loren Klein, our Building Inspector, he determined
that the building should not be termed a mobile home, since it does meet
the Uniform Building Code, and according to the Uniform Building Code, a
city cannot discriminate against such a structure. According to Mr. Klein,
the building that is proposed would meet all building codes and fire codes
for such a facility. Should there be any questions as to what does or does
not constitute a mobile home, Mr. Klein would be glad to explain this at the
meeting itself, or on an individual basis if you so wish.
In addition to requests for the conditional use permit, variance would be
necessary since the present parking lot is not hardsurfaced and it is not
intended by the Church at this time to hardsurface nor put in a continuous
curb barrier as required by the Monticello City Ordinances.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: At their last meeting, the Planning Commio-
sion voted unanimously to recommend approval of the conditional use and
variances requested.

Council Agenda — 11/24/80
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of conditional use permit and
variances for the First Baptist Church. Note: in his November 5, 1980
letter, Rev. Oas refers to being allowed to use the present facility for
four years since it would not meet the commercial code. According to
Loren Klein, Building Inspector, there is no differentiation between
residential and commercial code on this type of facility, and therefore,
this item has not been addressed in the agenda supplement, since no
renewal would be necessary.*

Council Agenda - 11/24/80
3. Consideration of Rezoning Lots - Riverwood Estates.
PURPOSE: To consider rezoning of Lots 4, 6 b 7, Block 1, Riverwood Estates,
from B-3 (regional business) to R-1 (single family residential), and also
the rezoning of Lots 5 b 8, Block 1 as R-1 (previously the zoning line directed
these last two lots, making part of these Lots R-1 and part of these Lots
as B-3, and it is necessary to clarify the zoning on these two lots in
accordance with the plat previously submitted.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS: Since the Planning Commission had
previously approved of rezoning Lot 1, Block 2, in Riverwood Estates from
R-1 to B-3, it was felt that this action would be consistent and compatible
with the surrounding area. The only difference that the Planning Commis-
sion recommended from the request was to have Lot 4, which is right across
the street from the Lindberg residence, zoned as R-1 instead of B-3. In
reference to this change from initial request, it should be pointed out that
I have contacted Floyd Kruse, owner of the particular lot in question, to
make him aware of the recommendation, indicating that the City Council will
be acting upon the Planning Commission's recommendations at Monday night's
meeting.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of

4. Consideration of Additional Compensation for Viking Pipe Service for
Sanitary Sewer Cleaning on River Street from New Street to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
PURPOSE: To consider a request by Viking Pipe Service for additional costs
incurred in the amount of $3,266.77 on the above -referenced project.
John Simola, our Public Works Director, has reviewed the matter, and in
an enclosed memo from John, he gives the background on the project.
Briefly, due to an increase in the amount of debris in the line, mainly
in the area east of the existing termination of River Street up to the
Treatment Plant, Viking Pipe is asking the City Council to consider
additional compensation.
According to John, he feels that some additional compensation is warranted
because of the unexpected conditions which could not be accurately estima-
ted at the time.
It should be pointed out that the two quotations received were from
Viking Pipe Service for a maximum cost not to exceed $5,223.23, based on
an $85.00 per hour charge for cleaning, and $75.UU per hour charge for
televising of the line. Solidification, Inc. had a quotation of not
to exceed $5,400, based on a $95.00 per hour fee for cleaning, and $99.00
per (tour for televising. To a certain extent, these quotations were based
on the best estimate our Public Works Director had at the time in terms of
the amount of the debris, which turned out to be underestimated, as indicalcd
in John's memo.
As a result of these factors, 1 believe the Council should consider
additional compenention, but not to the tune of 1002 of the amount requested.
It would seem to me that a more fair and equitable solution might be in the
area of 30 - 502 of the amount requested.
11 should be pointed out that Viking Pipe Service did inform our Public
Works Director at the time that there would be a coat over -run based on
their per hour charges, but there was no real alternative other than to
complete the cleaning of the line. Furthermore, it should be pointed out
that the Council can adjust the compensation due to extenuating circum-
stances, but is under no legal obligation to do so.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of additional Compensation to Viking Pipe
Service.
REFERENCES: Viking Pipe Service has indicated they would be sending a
letter and this will be enclosed if it is received prior to the agenda
going out. John Simola memorandum enclosed.

%— 5. Consideration of Sale of Sludge Truck to Paul A. Laurence Company.
PURPOSE: To consider the sale of the current sludge truck to Paul A.
Laurence Company, general contractor on the Wastewater Treatment Plant,
responsible for sludge disposal at the time of construction, for
$3,500 plus a concrete apron, valued at $500, to be constructed in front
of the new pole barn building which is part of the Wastewater Treatment
Plant updating.
Enclosed you will find a memorandum from our Public Works Director relative
to this item. Since the City of Monticello will not be responsible for
sludge disposal during the time of construction of the plant, and that in
addition, we will be receiving two new sludge disposal units as part of
the Wastewater Treatment Plant grant which are expected to be received
in nine months, it is recommended that this sludge truck be disposed of
at the price indicated. John Simola indicates that the offer by Paul A.
Laurence is more than fair and equitable, and felt that the City of
Monticello would be hardpreseed to sell this unit for the same price.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of the approval of the sale of this
sludge truck to Paul A. Laurence Company for $3,500 plus agreement that
Paul A. Laurence Co. would put in a concrete apron in front of the
new pole building at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
REFERENCES: Memorandum from John Simola relative to this item.

b. Consideration of OrderinpLthe Preparation of Plans and Specifications and
Salvage Method - Oakwood School.
PURPOSE: As a result of a request by Council Member Phil White, an inven-
tory list has been made up of the salvageable items in the Oakwood School.
At the same time , consideration should be given to having plans and speci-
fications prepared for the Oakwood School removal.
Inventory of Salvageable Items -
Enclosed, you will find an inventory that Loren Klein has prepared
of the salvageable items in the Oakwood School building. It should
be pointed out that this list could have gone on for several pages,
but these are the major items, and there may be a few that were missed.
For your information, I have also enclosed lists of the items that
the School will be keeping, which was part of the original purchase
agreement. Additionally, they are going to be removing all old school
pictures, etc.
Salvage Rights
Based on the inventory listed, the City of Monticello nay want to
consider retaining salvage rights and having an auction prior to
having a contractor come in and clear the facility. in order to
determine whether this is cost-effective, bids could be received
with salvage rights and without salvage rights on these inventory
items so the City would know what amount of credit the contractor
was granting the City, and could make a determination whether to
sell these items separately. Additionally, there are several items
in the building that could be utilized directly by Elie City of Monticello,
either in rhe Pithlic Wc%rks area or the Fire Department. These items
will be, removed prior to the bidding process.
Demolition Process -
Plans and specifications should be prepared by our engineer for the
demolition and clearance of the property, since State Statutes require
bids to be let on this project. It would seem that the City of Monti-
cello is ready for a motion, at Monday night's meeting, to have our
engineer conanenee preparing plans and specifications.
in December of 1979, 1 received an estimate from Carl Bolander, of
Carl Bolander 6 Sons, of $48,000, which includes removal from the site
:f the school foundations, footings, blacktop and filling the site with
cttan granular fill and compaction. At that time, an estimate was given
of $79,000 if the area was not to be compacted. In talking recently
wins Carl Bolander 6 Sons, they indicated that a lower price can even
he expected now by the City of Monticello. Additionally, 1 will be
talking with the firm that removed the school building in Buffalo prior
to Monday night's meeting, to review the site and get his feelings
relative to cost plus salvage rights.

Council Agenda - 11/24/80
I
Dowling Home -
At the same time the City of Monticello receives bids for the School
Building, it could also include the Dowling Home. A better price
probably would be received if it was included at that time. Bids
could be taken for each phase of the project, and this could mean that
a separate contractor could be awarded removal of the Dowling Home and
a separate contractor could be awarded removal of the Oakwood School
building.
Removal of School Building in Buffalo -
I talked with Kennedy Excavating, of Benson, Minnesota, a representative
of the School District and also a representative of the Youth hockey
Association in Buffalo, regarding removal of an elementary school there.
Total cost of the removal project was $49,000; however, through an
agreement directly between the contractor and the Youth Hockey Associa-
tion and one other organization, salvage rights on certain items were
retained by these non-profit groups. Profits from the sale were in the
neighborhood of $2,000. Primary items that were put up for sale at this
auction by the non-profit organizations were aluminum windows, shades,
french doors, etc.
Relocation of Library -
For purposes of removal of the building, the library will be relocating
to the City Council chamber as determined by the City Council at their
last meeting, and this move should take place in the early part of
December. It is anticipated that the School District will vacate the
building as of January lot.
Sale. of Site -
once the site has been cleared, the City would be in a position to offer
the property for sale. It would seem to me that the best way to proceed
would be rather than to take bids on the sale of the property, to just
list the property with n realtor or realtors indicating the planned unit
development alternatives the City Council has previously reviewed and
approved. It should be pointed out that real estate does not have to
be sold on a bid basis, and this gives the City an opportunity to obtain
a better price since you are not limiting the time period in which bids
are to be received.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of having our engineer prepare plans and speci-
fications for the removal of the Oakwood School Building and Dowling Home..
REFER17NCES: Enclosed inventory list prepared by Loren Klein of the salvageable
items in the Oakwood School. Also enclosed, list of ite s to b apt
by School.

7. Consideration of Ap pointing o Person or Persons to Serve on the Regional
Hazardous Waste Criteria and Siting Comittee.
PURPOSE: Enclosed you Will find a letter plus related materials from
Rogert C. Dunn, Chairman of the Minnesota Waste Management Board, relative
to the siting of at least one land disposal facility for hazardous Waste
in the State of Minnesota. It should be pointed out that hazardous waste,
for this purpose, does not include nuclear Waste.
As you can see by Mr. Dunn's letter, all communities are being indicated
on a preliminary basis as potential sites. In order to obtain input into
the process, each community should be fully represented, as criteria for
the ultimate site will be discussed and selected.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Appointment of person or persons to serve on the Regional
Hazardous Waste Criteria and Siting Committee.

MINUTES
REGULAR MEETINC - MONTICELLO PLANNING COMMISSION
Tuesday, November 11, 1980 - 7:30 P.M.
Members Present: Jim Ridgeway, John Bondhus, Dick Marti::, Ed Schaffer,
Loren Klein (ex -officio)
Members Absent: Bill Burke
1. Approval of Minutes - October 14, 1980 meeting.
Motion was made by Ed Schaffer, seconded by Dick Martie and unanimously
carried to approve the minutes of the October 14, 1980 meeting as presented.
2. Public Nearing - Consideration of a Conditional Use for the Rivercrest
Christian School.
At the time of the advertising for the conditional use for Ery Radiant: and
Terry Mick's to build too 18 -unit apartment buildings in Lauring Ilillside
Terrace, it was brought to the City's attention that the Rivercrest
Christian School had moved studenit: into the house to Lite west of the pre-
sent Assembly of Cod Church. This information was brought to the City
office's attention by one of the people receiving a conditional use hearing
notice.
What had happened, was that the administration of the itivercrest Christian
School, knowing they needed more room to expand their educational classrooms,
chose to expand into the house to the vest of the Assembly of Cod Church
facility, which they already owned. They did not, npparently, knew that
the School's expansion would require it conditional use, at: provided by
Monticello Ordinance, in order that they might expand into that house.
At the Planning Comminsioo's meeting on Tuesday night, there wore rcpre-
oentatives of the neighborhood and also the Rivercrest Christian School to
askand answer questions. 'those people couuncn[ing were as follows:
William Everett, Administrator of the Rivercrest Christian School, presented
a petition With some 100 signature on it requeating Lite considerati-ou of
the, conditional une in order that Lhoy might, continue to havo claques vi thin
that dwelling. included With that petition were Lite signatures of several
of the neighbors who supported Lite request that Lite conditional use be granted.
(It might be interesting to note that those neighbors who supported Lite
request for consideration of the conditional use contained only one member
of the Assembly of Cod Church).

Planning Commission Minutes - 11/ 11/80
Jerry Brooks was opposed to the expansion of the School because he felt
that the kids trespassed on his property and also he said that he objects -)
to kids leaving the school area during the day.(Mr. Everett, Administrator
of the Rivercrest Christian School, countered Ute second objection, because
he said that the kids were not allowed to leave the school and drive in
their vehicles during the day.)
Gene Putnam, who spoke as a representative for lledtkes, expressed an objec-
tion to the expansion of the School. Ile slated that he was aware that the
Bedtkes and the Klatts had sent letters of objection to the school; lie vas
also aware that Rasmussen's had sent a letter in favor of the school.
Duane Rajanen indicated that he was in favor of the school, that his
property directly abuts the school, and he had no objection.
Our Building Official met with Mr. Gahart Decker, a representative of the
Rivercrest Christian School, and toured the dwelling in which the classes
were held. There. would be some Building Code requirements to upgrade por-
tions of the dwelling, and should permission be granted to continue the
educational use within that residential facility, Mr. Decker stated they
would be willing to make those improvements. Mr. Decker also stated
that presently, they are in the planning stage for a new Church/School
facility, but that at this time, [to tentative plans have been completed
and they are unable to reveal any plans ns to what the future might be.
On a motion by Ed Schaffer, seconded by John Ilondhus, it was a unanimous
vote to recommend approval until June 1, 1981, to hold the classes in
the dwelling facility adjacent to the Assembly of Cod Chinch. if School
were going to be held in that dwelling next year, it would be necessary
to return to the Planning Commission and Council for a reconsideration for
the following year.
3. Consideration of Extunding it Conditional Use - First Ilnptist Church of
Monticello.
At the. August 23, 1976 regular meeting of the Monticello City Council, n
building permit was granted to huild a residence and use that residence
as the First Baptist Church of Monticello Cor four yearn. At that time,
the residence was to become the parsonage for the First Baptist Church
and n new church fncility was going to be built.
Th rte yonrs later, during 1979, in effort was made to purchase anuther
Church fncility within the Community; hewCwai', that plan fell through,
and later in the fall of 1979, the repreu,:ntativta of the First Baptist
Church began plans and preparations for it new church facility on the site
of the existing First Baptist Church. Itowever, since that time, available
Mortgage money has evaporated, and it is [lost to, if not, impossible for
them to obtain a mortgage which they can line to build their new church.
�'l�
Planning Commissiun Minutes - 11/11/80
Reverend Jerry Oas, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, was present and
presented his request that they be allowed to muvc two UBC sLructures
onto their property, to use as classrooms, for a period of not more than
two years, and that they be allowed to continue their conditional use for
not more than two years, until, hopefully, there would be mortgage money
available for them to build a new church facility. (At this point, it was
clarified that there is a difference between a UBC structure and a mobile
home. Although a UAC structure may be designed and look similar to a
mobile home, a UBC structure does meet all the requirements of a building
which was built under the building code, and therefore is eligible to be
placed within a community within the proper zoning district, provided it
bears a UBC seal showing that it was manufactured under the supervision
of a building official in n manufacturing plant. A mobile hume, is a
structure which does not conform to any particular building code, and there-
fore, is most often required to be placed within a mobile home park, with
structures of similar kind.)
This request is being made because of the lack of space within the present
residential/church facility.
A motion was made by Dick Martie, seconded by lid Schaffer to:
Reconanend approval of this requcut for a two-yenlextension to
continue the present residential building as a church facility; and
Rucommend approval of this request to use UBC structures as temporary
classrooms facilities for two years, or until such time as a new
church facility is built.
All voted in faVal' of this motion.
4. Consideration of Rezoning, Lots in Riverwood Estates - Floyd Kruse 6 Kermit
Lindberg.
At a recent Planning Coumtisuion meeting, it wan recommend,:d to approve the
Riverwood Ealatea for Mr. Floyd Kruac and Mr. Kermit Lindberg. Ilovevr.r,
at that time., there was n ponaible discrepancy in the zoning line. for
portions of aeveral lots, and also the Lindberg's, on their portion of the
property, proposed rezoning Lot 1, of Block 2 from R-1 to 11-3. At a sub-
nequent meeting, the Planning Comaninuion recoimncnded granting rezoning of
Lot 1, Block 2, from R -I to 11-3; however, it became necessary to defint! the
an:n of I1-3 from the area of I1-1 oil Block 1, that portion owned by Mr.
Floyd Kruse. In order to clarify that rezoning, it would be, necessary to
rezone Lots 1, of Block 2, and Lor it I, 2 6 3 or Block 1, to I1-3 find L ave
the balance of the lots zoned tic R-1. Ilowevor, because Mr. Kruse was uanblc
to be rat the planning eontmianion meeting, it was determined then: would be
no recommendation trade as to Whether or not Lot 4 of Block 1 would be zoned
R -I or B-3, and that decision would be left to the diacration of tilt Council,
baued on Mr. Floyd Kruse'a comments, which could be mad,: after rhe
Plnnning Commission meeting or at tha Council mccting. A motion by John
Bundhus, seconded by Dick Martie with all voting in favor of rezoning
Lots 1, Block 2 and Lota 1, 2. 6 3, Block 1 to B-3 and leaving the balance of
the lots as R-1.

5. Consideration of Ordinance Amendments to Simplify the Permit Process.
As a result of the inquiry by John Bondhus at a previous Planning Commission
meeting, Cary Nieber did some research on the possibility of simplifying
the process for variances.
As a result of the information brought back to the Planning Coaanission by
Mr. Wieber, it was determined that a public hearing should be held in the
future, at which time a discussion could be held as to the possibility
of restructuring the ordinances to allow simplification of variances, par-
ticularly those on setbacks.

PASTOR GERALD OAS
November 5. 19130
TO; City of Monticello, Planing Commission and City Council
FROM: First Baptist Church of Monticello
In late summer of 1976 when the First llnptist Church of Monticello
was granted a building permit to construct our temporary facility
in the form of a "house -church", the City Council allowed us to
use the residential building code with a few modifications, even
though the useage was of a commercial nature. We agreed with the
Council that with in four years of occupancy we would convert the
building to a residential use and construct a perrnnent churrh-
type commercial code building.
We have made every effort to keep that npreement in good faith
with the city. However, the attempt to purrhagr, the Asnemhly of
God facility in 1479 was thwarted by pnv-rnmental maneuvering. We
then resumed our efforts to design and build on our present mite,
subdividing, surveying, and ohtninini, the ne.censary conditional,
use permit. We were again prevented from keepint, our promine to
vacate our present facilities because the available mortparf! money
evaporated ns the money market 11dried up."
Our plan is to construct a church -type building on our mita an
soon as money becomes nvailablo. In the nrantime, wo respectfully
request nn extensio:i of our agreement with the city for up to two
more yenrm use of our present facility as we continuo to crow
toward the erection of n new building.
To eliminate over crowding And poaniblo iinnger wv hnve added an ad-
ditional worahip nervice to ncromdate our prowth.
We do need Additional clAsarotlms and at prmncnt. ,ere- mi'r.inp, r"quemt
of the city through the Planiap Con,timnion and i'nuncil for :i wlivrr
to allow a mobile home to be situated nn our situ for up to two
years to bee vacated at the same time, an our tempnrnr,y facil it v.
Both of the nbove requests Aro urprrrit ,ind vriti:•al +n our rontinued
growth. l Am aware that the Platting olmmimn'nil in not rehoduled
to meet until November 11, but would nak if ponmible ynu consider
theme matters in special sessinn no thnt the council could deal
with the issue at their November 10 meetinp.

RIVER STREET TRUNK SEVER
t
The River Street trunk sewer cleaning and TV inspection project was
completed on Wednesday, November 5, 1980. The amount and types of debris
found in the lines were much heavier than originally estimated. Huge chunks
of asphalt joint material, large rocks, pipe couplings, as well as siguifi-
cant amounts of sand and gravel were found. It was originally estimated
that the lines were 15 - 20% plugged with debris (refer to Council memorandum
dated September 17, 1980) while in fact many portions were 'found to be in
excess of 50% plugged with sand and gravel.
The TV inspection revealed the following information:
1. With the exception of a few roots, the TV inspection found the lines
to be well cleaned by Viking Pipe Cu. From New Street to Dayton St.,
no significant problems were found. There were several smaller
sags, some slightly protruding sewer service connections, and a few
cracked pipe,
2. Between Dayton St. and Old Vacated Cedar Sc., a 4" PVC sewer setviee
pipe was found protruding into the main by 3 to 4" at Lot 6,
Block 25 (the Walter Klatt residence).
3. From Old Vacated Cedar Street to Old Vacated Elm Street, two more pro-
truding sewer service connections were found. Both were found to
protrude 2". One would be the Iry Kallin residence and the other
would be the Willard Anderson home. These connections are located
within 4' of each other. In addition, there is n broken joint and
small hole within I' of the sewer connection for the Dental Clinic.
4. From Vacated Cedar Street to Vacated Oak Street there are Dome pro-
truding service conneetionu installed for future use, and sags in
excess of 4" were found.
5. In the area through the woods behind Dr. Kauper's home and through
the Bondhus property, many sags were found, several of which are
7 - 8" or more deep, Thiu alai) iudicatcu lit lea -;L three, manholes
have settled.
I'lre sags, settled manholes and protruding service connectiona are all
items of concern, ns they limit the capability of the trunk sewer and allow
solida (sand, gravel, etc.) to settle out of sunp,rnsion and become deposited
in tilt: sagn. Debris which settles in these uags becomes very denne and is
difficult to remove.
- I -
Y
River Street Trunk Sewer ( Continued)
There are several approaches to this problem. One is to live with the -
line as it exists, and give it constant yenrly maintenance. Another
alternative would be to implement repairs such as removing obstructions and
raising manho es and sags Other approaches could be any combination of the
foro
egoing. 20yb .2S1 --u -4 C.
I have been asked by Viking Pipe Co. for the Council to consider
additional payment for the cleaning portion of the project. Due to the
extremely heavy amounts and types of debris, as well as the severity of
the sags, much more time was necessary to effectively clean the lines.
Both of the firms who quoted us on the project, as well as myself,
estimated the debris levels to be 15 - 20%. This is indicated by the
closeness of the two quotes. The cleaning overrun amounted to 110% of Viking's
estimate for that portion, or 44 crew hours. This resulted in a cost over-
run of $3,266.77 on the River Street Trunk. Viking would like the Council
to consider a portion of this for payment, due to the unexpected conditions
encountered.
It should be pointed out that this firm has cleaned lines in Monticello
for free to demonstrate equipment and train personnel. They have also
rented their jet machine to us at a reduced rate.
It is my opinion that the City did receive benefit from those extra
hours and should consider this additional payment request.

PROPOSED SALE OF SLUDGE• TRUCE:
The general contractor for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrading,
Paul A. Laurence Co., becomes responsible for sludge disposal during
construction of the new plant. Their responsibility begins with the
Engineer's Notice to Proceed.
Jerry Crundtner, with Paul A. Laurence Co., has expressed an interest
in purchasing the City's 1962 International sludge truck. As this truck
was due for retirement years ago, and as we will receive two new units with
the Plant, I felt confident to negotiate a sale price. The figure arrived
at was $3,500, in addition to a two -foot concrete apron in front of the
newly constructed pole building at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Mr. Grundtner has inspected the vehicle and has been made fully aware
of its' need of repair, and has indicated that lie will restore it immediately
to dependable operating condition.
1 recommend that the City Council accept the above offer for the sale
of this sludge truck.

This memo is an offie lel notification that the Minnesota Haste Management Board
has identified your community as a possible search area for a hazardous waste
disposal facility.
This notice Is a part of the required siting process set in motion by the
Minnesota Legislature under the Waste Management Act of 1980. jhq-Legisl -
rgti-after rmler veli bpratlon, decided that a hazardous waste land-disposll
ecJ..lI.ty_was-eeded_-In-Minnaiota.. The Wasto.Monagement,Boardwas-erestea
and given -the -task of',elting Qt_leost_one such land disposal faellity,! The
Boar also musf inventory and recommend preferred sites for hazardous waste
processing, Incineration' and transfer and storage favi I ities. Your, communl ty
may be considered as apotentfal site for these faclIIties as well.
The hazardous waste disposal facility that we are considering will be based on
successful waste management practices and technologies used elsewhere in the:
United;States. No de-clsIon has been made yet about the final faclIIty
design --the Legislature decided that it should fi rot be the subject of pubic e
discussion and debate --but an enclosed sheet suggests some of the technologies,
that may be used as woll as why such facilities are needed.
Naturally, you will ask, "On what basis have you chosen us as a possible
search area for ahazardous _IMP_gfisposal foci IIty?" The answer Is this --
ie Tieva not. yet e�1ml sste��any�,tarco n ty.� We want to share the Information
we ave an�get your Ideas before we maka a final decision.
We must make soma major decisions on criteria and sites soon. The law requi res
that by May 1981, the Waste Management Board must propose six or more candidate
sites for the hazardous waste land disposal facility. That means that between
now and May 1981, we not discuss and select criteria and apply those criteria

to the entire State. Obviously, criteria become very important to the selection
process. Depending on the criteria, any locality in Minnesota, including yours,
could be selected as a site for this facility.
In keeping with both the spirit and letter of the Waste Management Act, the
Mind'esota Waste Management Board will select criteria and candidate sites only
after extensive public involvement at the local level. As a local official.
you and/or a representative of your community are invited and encouraged to
participate in this process. if you iqnore this public input process, then
your community may not be fully represented as criteria are discussed and
selected.
Enclosed with this memo is a reply card. .lease-return--it-to us with_the_nam s

LAcLLLtY./ -
The persons whose names you give us, together with other interested citizens,
will form a criteria and siting committee in your Development Region. A
similar committee will be formed in each of the I; Development Regions of the
State. Regional Development Commission staff representatives may help the
committees by arranging meeting space, taking minutes, sending notices, etc.
The committees will meet at least twice between now and May 1981. Their job is
to give the Waste Management Board significant input into the process of select-
ing criteria and sites for a hazardous waste disposal facility.
Also enclosed Is a step-by-step schedule which details the procedures the Waste
Management Board will follow in selecting candidate and final sites for the
disposal facility. As you can see, there is also opportunity for public involve- l
mens after the candidate sites have been selected. Your Involvement prior to -
that tt mo however, can help determine whether or not your community is in the
final list.
Another enclosure for your consideration before our upcoming meetings is a fact
sheet on siting factors that have been suggested to us. Some of these factors
might eliminate your area from further consideration. Others might identify
your community as a likely location for a hazardous waste disposal site.
Although we are listing these factors without endorsement, we wi11 have to choose
between them soon so we can Identify sites. So come to the meeting In your
Development Region if you agree or disagree with these factors or If you have
others to propose. We want your recommendations and suggestions on the criteria,
standards, and procedures we should use In selecting candidate sites, either at
the meeting or by letter before then,
Your community is a possible site for a hazardous waste disposal facility.
Your community should help the Waste Management board determine where and +tn
what basis this facility ought to be sited. We have no preconceived notions.
We do, however, agree with the Legislature that hazardous.!non=nuclear wasti'is
a problem and that something has to be done. We also knew 01it-the"pro6le
while serious, is not yet critical. Together we can find a solution. But we
need your help to do it.
Please send us the names of your community representatives no later than
November 21, 1980.

WHAT IS A HAZARDOUS WASTE LAND DISPOSAL FACILITY
AND
WHY DOES MINNESOTA NEED ONE?
v
Along with the benefice of modern technology come certain drawbacks. To make our standard of living possible, a
variety of manufacturing processes furnish necessary products. Those same processes, however, produce by-products and
eventually wastes. These include, for example, miscellaneous chemicals, waste oils and solvents, paint sludges, electro•
plating wanes. and incinerator ashes. These waste by-products must be safely disposed of or effectively recycled or
reprocessed.
Most wastes from industry do not constitute a problem, but some do. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have identified certain wastes from industrial, laboratory, medical, mining,
and agricultural activities as "hazardous." (Actually, even some household activities could generate hazardous wastes.)
Unlike solid waste, such as household garbage, hazardous wastes usually cannot be routinely managed in a unitary
landfill. Specially designed facilities may be necessary to ensure that these wastes are reduced and disposed of safely.
Processing facilities can recycle or reduce the amount of hazardous waste, and disposal facilities are used for long-term
containment.
Technology exists to ensure the safe disposal of hazardous waste, but currently Minnesota does not have the facilities
needed to manage the hazardous wastes generated by our state (more than 150,000 tons per year, by one estimate). It
is the responsibility of the Waste Management Board to determine specifically what sizes and types of facilities are
needed to manage these wastes, and then to find a site for at least one land disposal facility in the State. The private
sector will be expected to construct and operate the facilities once the sites are finally chosen.
Since the technical options available must be tailored to the specific needs of the State, Minnesotans must register
their opinions on the need, safety, cost, benefit and effect of a hazardous waste disposal facility. That's why public
involvement Is needed.
Without this involvement, it is too early to say exactly what Minnesota's land dsposzel facility will tock like.
However, a general picture can be tentatively drawn.
The land disposal facility would be large — possibly 400 acres if it is to contain 20 years of Minnesota's land
_ disposable hazardous waste. "Celli' for waste containment would be constructed, first by excavating soil and then by
Installing engineering safeguards against waste seepage. These would probably Include carefully placed clay or synthetic
liner systems and underground collection pipes to collect seepage and return it to the surface for treatment. There would
also be monitoring systems to warn if any seepage had penetrated the liners and escaped into surrounding soils.
Wastes would probably be trucked in; possibly 20 to 30 loads a day. Laboratory spot checks (on or off site) would
ascertain the Identity and appropriate management of incoming wastes. Pre-treatment of certain wastes would probably be
required, and could occur either at the disposal site or at a waste processing facility elsewhere. This would have the effect
of reducing the volume or the level of hazard of the wastes, or of removing excess water that could complicate operations
or tarry contaminants awsy from the land disposal facility.
Incompatible wastes would be separated and placed in different parts of the site, and accurate records of all wastes
disposed and their locations in the facility would be maintained.
As individual waste containment calls were idled during the operation of a site, impermeable soils of liners would be
placed over them and the top sod would be contoured to handle fain runoff. This would help divert moisture from the
1 wastes and still further reduce the chance of seepage away from the site. anan
Final closure of the facility would be performed according to strict federal and state vlronmental stdards, Before
the tadlity operator could even be licensed he or she would have to have determined provisions for long term care of the
site. Included would the lintel cover and contouring, and groundwater and other long term mentoring of the uta. Any
problems would have to be corrected by the facility operator alone or In conjunction with federal or state authomits.
This description is only preliminary, since the final design of the facility is one of the issues for public d,saassson
before the Waste Managfement Board makes any final decisions.

HYDROGEOLOGY — The Minnesota Geological Survey, (MGS) has prepared a report_ to the WMB that
recommends that hazardous waste disposal sites be, located away from major groundwater systems, such as significant
bedrock and surficial aquifers. This would insure that a disposal facility would be less likely to pollute these natural
C resources by accidental seepage. o
MGS recommends that the WM8 divide the State into three categories:
• Areas, where there is a low probability of groundwater contamination because significant groundwater resources
are probably absent.
• Areas where productive groundwater systems may or may not exist, so that there is a reduced probability of
finding naturally favorable sites.
• Areas where significant groundwater systems exist, and where extensive engineering or natural protection (e.g.. low
permeability clay soils) would be necessary to safeguard these groundwater systems from any accidental seepage
from a disposal facility.
SOIL PERMEABILITY —The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ttated that thick layers of low
permeable soils — such as certain heavy clays — will inhibit the flow of spilled wastes into groundwater systems below even
if the wastes somehow penetrate the engineered safeguards of a facility (such as liners and collection devices). Therefore,
thick, Impermeable soils might compensate for inadequacies in the hydrogeology, factor. EPA at one point used the figures
of live feet of material with a permeability of less than two inches per year. Such exact data are not available on a
statewide basis, so on-site investigations would be necessary to determine the permeabilities and soil thicknesses of specific
tracts of land — if the citizens of the State and the WM8 finally decide that soil permeability is an important siting
factor.
SURFACE WATERS AND FLOODPLAINS — The Pollution Control Agency and the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency regulate hazardous waste disposal. Though they offer few specific siting criteria, they do prohibit
certain locations. Including: within a 100 -year flood plain; within 1,000 feet of shoreland: and within a wetland.
These surface water factors must be observed by the WMB in the siting process, although they may become most
relevant only after specific sites are being considered. This Is because many of these prohibited areas are often less than a
township in size. So although a part of a township is excluded. there still may be enough land within it for an acceptable
site.

POSSIBLE SITING FACTORS
The Waste Management Board (WMB) decided not to select siting criteria for a hazardous waste disposal facility until
citirens throughout the State had expressed their opinions on the subject. However, to encourage discussion the WMB is
now mentioning certain factors that have been suggested to the WMB or in past siting studies. They are stated without
endorsement by the WMB, and are merely a starting point for the discussion that will guide the WMB in choosing linal
criteria and sites that are acceptable to most of the interested citizens of ilia Slate.
These factors reflect opinions of various government agencies and other organizations regarding the best types of
locations to site hazardous waste land disposal facilities, based on such concerns as groundwater protection, transportation
safety, economic feasibility, industrial development, and health, safety, and nuisance impacts on the nearby public. These
are not the final siting criteria, nor have they been given any weights relative to each other.
Maps will be available at future meetings in your Development Region that show how your community stands on
some of these factors. Other factors may not be mapped because statewide data is unavailable or because they cannot be
researched and analyzed until specific sites are under consideration.
HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION — Hazardous waste generation is often concentrated in industrialized
areas. It has been suggested that disposal facilities should not be sited too far from the points of generation because of
increased transportation costs and risks. In Minnesota, the only statewide data currently available indicates that aha major
generating areas are the Twin Cities Metropolitan area and Southeast Minnesota, generating an estimated 66 percent and
18 percent of the State's hazardous wastes, respectively.
It is difficult to say how close a disposal facility should be to the generating areas. One suggested figure is 100 miles
or less, although today certain wastes are being trucked about 400 miles to facilities in Illinois and elsewhere.
TRANSPORTATION ACCESS — Reports done for the Pollution Control Agency and other government bodies
have suggested that transportation access may be an important siting factor, since it will determine the roadways that
hazardous waste will move over and the likelihood and the possible harmful effects of any accidents. Possible aspects to
consider include adjacent land uses (e.g.. schools, hospitals, and residences), the numhrr of intersections per mile, and the
distance frons certain types of main highways (e.g.. limited access four -lane roadways; State and federal highways: or
9 -ton capacity roads).
SETTLEMENT PATTERNS — A study of hazardous waste done for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
suggests that a hazardous waste land disposal facility and buffer tune could require about 420 acres to contain 20 years
worth of Minnesota generated wastes. This site is very tentative and will be finally determined only after further analysis,
public discussion, and decisions regarding what wastes may be land disposed in Minnesota. Still, the 420 -acre figure
suggests that areas of dense population mttlement may not contain land parcels large enough for a facility.
LAND OWNERSHIP PATTERNS — Land ownership patterns may affect the feasibility of acquiring parcels of
land large enough to aeeornnsodate a hazardous waste land disposal facility. They also can affect the types of adjacent
land uses that may be subject to nuisance impacts horn a facility.
Some of the land ownership patterns that may be considered include the number of different owners and whether
ownership is public or private. In the use of public ownership, distinctions must be made hetween which level of govern-
ment owns the land and what the land's dedicated sate or category is, such as perk, forest, at tar forfeited land.
It may only be practical to research many of these questions after specific tiles are identified.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT EFFECTS — A hazardous waste disposal facility could attract indmbial do.
velopment, especially if the impacted community and ilia State decide to provide incentim to companies to locate near
the site. Prolurence may be given to communities that desire such development and have sufficiently large industrial park
locations available.
Some of the issues raised by this and other factors will be the subject of a report the WMB will prepare for the
Legislative Commission on Waste Management on the mitigation of local efforts of hozardom wave facilities. This report
will Int prepared jointly with citizens hoer the candidate site rommunilirs, rind may recommend that the I.egislature
consideu such programs as tax relief, reimbursement for public services, or incenlives for industrial development.
PRODUCTIVITY OF THE LAND FOR VARIOUS USES — Land is a natural resource, and some land is
noon suited for certain sou than others. Possible uses to consider are agriculture, forestry, mining, wildlife habiutl, and
public enjoyment of natural anvironment. The WMn may have to masa hard choices betnren sites and uses because one
candidate site may be good for one use, and anothar candidate iiia may tie gond for another use. 'To choose batwotzs
then different uses, factors to consider include: the relative productivity of the candidatesite lot the particular use, the
availability of other suitable land for that use, and the emphasis that the people of the Development Region and the State
went to place on the different Possible uses.
It should be noted that the Legislature his decided that no land may be excluded from consideration for a site unless
it is unlikely to quality for a Pollution Control Agency permit.
WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD SITIIIG TIMETABLE
Disposal Facilities
November, 1980. The Waste Management Board (NMB) notifies communities in
search areas for hazardous waste disposal facilities.
November, 1980 - May, 1981. Public meetings will be held in each Development
Region to discuss and recommend siting criteria to ti+e NMB.
May, 1981. The WMB must propose six or more candidate sites for commercial
hazardous waste disposal facilities.
May, 1981 - August, 1981. Additional meetings as well as hearings wit] be
held in the Development Regions on the proposed candidate sites.
- August, 1981. The WMB will select six candidate sites in six different
'counties --one per county. Subsequently, the Governor will appoint a Local
Project Review Committee from each affected county to act as a communication
link between the affected community and the involved state agencies to relay
information and local concerns. Each Local Project Review Committee must
select a temporary voting member to serve on the Waste Management Board to
represent his or her community in the siting deliberations of the WMB.
January, 1982. The WMB will present two reports to the Legislative Commission
on Waste Management, after consultation with the Local Project Review Com-
mittees and after a public meeting in each affected county. One report will
be on mitigation of local effects of a hazardous disposal facility, and
will propose ways to reduce local impacts and compensate the host communities.
The other report will be on hazardous waste management, and will contain a
draft hazardous waste management plan and a proposed certificate of need for
one or more disposal facilities.
- May, 1982. The WM0 will Issue a certificate of need for hazardous wast:
disposal facilities that will specify the size and types of disposal
facilities to be built at one or more of the candidate sites.
September, 1982. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will complete
environmental Impact statements on disposal facilities at each of the six
candidate sites.
- Spring, 1983. The WMB will select one or more of the sites for disposal
fact Iities, after hearings in each county, discussions with affected local
governments and others, and after consideration of the Pollution Control
Agency's environmental Impact statements.
Processing Facilities
June I, 1981. The WMB will propose at least 9 sites to appear on a hazardous
waste processing site Inventory, Including (1) three incineration sites, (2)
three chemical processing sites, and (3) three transfer and storage sites.
November I, 1981. The WMB will prepare a final Inventory of processing sites.

COUNCIL UPDATE
November 24, 1980 Meeting
V
Simplification of Variance Procedures - Gary Wicber.
Currently, the Planning Commission is working on a possible recommendation
to the City Council to simplify the procedure for obtaining a variance.
specifically when the applicant and surrounding property owners are in
agreement with the variance requested.
Part of this process would be to have the Planning Commission hold the
public hearings for all variances. These are currently held at the Council
level. Unless the decision by the Planning Commission was appealed either
by the applicant or any individual , the decision of the Planning Commission
would be final. There would be a set number of days under which appeal would
have to be filed with the zoning administrator, and if appeal were filed,
the matter would go before the City Council.
It should be pointed out that this is consistent with State Statutes allow-
ing the Planning Commission to serve as the Board of Appeals. In some
cities, the actual Planning Commission serves as the final authoritative
body. However, in other cities, appeals can be made to the City Council,
and the Planning Commission felt that this would still give any applicant
or property owner that prerogative . However, it would simplify matters
greatly where there might be a sid eyard setback or other variances request
`!l that isn't contested and approved by the Planning Commission. Once the
Planning Commission's final recommendations are completed, they will be for-
warded to the City Council for their consideration.
Additional Line - Wright County Sheriff' a Deaarment - Gary Wicber.
As a result of the recent inquiry by the City of Monticello, it should be
pointed out that the Wright County Sheriff's Department is establishing a
second Monticello line on the 295-2533 number. This will double the capacity
of incoming calls to the Wright County Sheriff's Department. Additionally,
Bridgewater Telephone Company will be putting in their telephone book not
only the 295-2533 number, but also the alternative numbers which are 682-1162
and 682-1163.
Status of Commuter Parking Lot - John Simola, Public Works Director
The Commuter Parking Lot Itas been graded and a 4" Class V surface has been
installed in the outlined area shown on the plans. Two items of concern
were noted during grading, as folLowe:
1. The contractor, Veit. Inc., ran out of suitable material for the fill
areas, and the parking lot had to be lowered 6" to make up the differ-
ence., resulting in extra excavation.
Council Update - 11/24/80
2. The specifications contained a typographical error showing a bid
quantity of 300 tons of crushed Class V when, in reality, it should
have shown 1,300 tons. This would have resulted in a $7,000 over -run
putting the job over the $10,000 amount for bidding purposes. To
offset this alightly, I negotiated a price of $5.40 per ton for standard
Class V, which resulted in a cost savings of $2,080 for this portion.
This material is more susceptible to spring break-up; however, we can,
in my opinion, overcome this by good drainage and grading.
The lighting system is in the process of being completed, and signs have
been ordered to denote the lot's purpose and mark the entrances.

4. Review of Liquor Store Financial Statements for the Third Quarter of

the Nine Month Financial Statements for 1980. It was noted by Mr. lrmiter
that for the first nine months of 1980, sales were up $83,000, or almost
172 over 1979 figures, with gross profit also increasing approximately
17%, or $16,500. In addition, Mr. lrmiter noted that sales could be
close to $800,000 at the end of the year if the present percentage
increases continue.
Other than review, no notion was taken by the C ameil.
5. Consideration of Assistance for ABC Day Care _Center.
The ABC Day Care Center, which was located in the Oakwood School Building,
closed their doers Friday, November 7, 1980, due to a financial problem.
As of this time, Marcella Corrow, operator of the ABC Day Care Center,
has not found an alternative site for continuing the day care center
that would be financially feasible for herself. As a result, a number
of the parents in the community and outlying areas that use the facility
petitioned to the City Council for assistance, either financially or
otherwise, in helping establish a new day care center within the City.
Mr. Dennis Frank, spokesman for the parent~ `roup present at the Council,
naked the City for any type of assistance that they could provide either
financially or otherwise, or for ideas on how the group could proceed to
establish a now day care center. Mr. Frank indicated that this service
is very much needed within Monticello, and hoped that some type of
arrangement could be made for re-establishing a day care center.
- 2 -
Council Minutes - 11/10/80
City Administrator, Cary Wicber, noted to the group that some programs
are available through both the Social Services in the Wright County
Courthouse, and also through the State of Minnesota for grants for
such types of organizations. The State makes grants available to
non-profit organizations to help in establishing day care centers. Wright
County Social Services has Title 20 funds available for low and moderate
income people to help defray the cost of these individuals in paying for
day care services.
Terry Ludders spoke to the Council and indicated that although many of
the users of the day care center are township residents or from other
communities, she felt that these families do patronize the local
Monticello businesses and therfore, the City should think about supporting
a day care center as they do with a Senior Citizens Center.
Although the Council noted that a day care eeno-r operation is a needed
part of the community aspect, it was also noted it would be hard for
taxpayer's funds to be used to suppurc such an entity, and therefure,
no action was taken by the Council other than letting the group know
what grants and programs are available through other agencies.
6. Consideration of Setting Special Meeting Date for Reviewing Non -Union
Employee's 1981 Salaries.
A salary negotiating meeting was set for December 2, 1980 beginning
at 6:30 P.M., at which time the Council would review with specific
non-union employees and their immediate supervisor to determine a
salary for each employee for 1981. It was noted that this meeting
with the individual employees would be for all non-union employees
other than office secretarial help.
Motion was also made by Phil White, seconded by Dan Dluuipen and unani-
cuusly carried to cancel the second regularly scheduled Council Meeting
for December 22, 1980,
7. Approval of Minutes.
Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Ken Maus and unaninwusly
carried to approve the Minutes of the regular meeting held October 27,
1980, contingent upon Item 16, in regards to the propused commuthr parking
lot, last paragraph, being clianged to read as follows: "it was noted that
NSP would sell the transformer and poles to the City, ss needed, and
that the City would request bids for the electrical installation and huuk-
up, including lights."

8. Radiological Emergency Response Plan.
Loren Klein, Civil Defense Director, requested that the Council con-
sider approving and signing the rough draft of the radiological emergency
response plan for the City of Monticello. Mr. Klein noted chat according
to State regulations, the City Council must authorize someone to sign
the plan, thus approving the preliminary plans to date.
Motion was made by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously
carried to authorize the Mayor to sign tho preliminary Radiological
Emergency Response Plan, as recommended by the Civil Defense Director.
9. Discussion on Future Site of Library during Interim Construction.
With the approval of the recent bond issue and the ultimate construction
of a new library within the next year, the Library Committee recently
met and suggested that the library be moved from the present Oakwood
Building to City Mall Council Chambers, as a temporary location. Reason
for the move was that the Oakwood Building would be too costly to heat
for just the library uscage during the winter months, and possibly the
library would be demolished prior to the new library being constructed.
Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Ken Maus and unanimously
carried to approve using the Council Chambers in tile- City Hall as a
temporary location for the library until the new facility was complCLed.
Also, in regard# to the new library, a motion was made by Phil White,
seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to authorize the architect,
Merrill Birch 6 Associates, to proceed with preparation of final piano
and specifications for the new proposed library. the final plans would
then be reviewed by the, Council prior to snbmissiun lur bids.
10. Miscellaneous.
Council Members discussed the future plans fur the recently acquired
Oakwood School Building and requested that Clio City Staff prepare a
report on the items of salvage in the building, and what plan should
be used for removal of the building, such ah taking bids fnr demolition,
or selling the building to the highest bidder, etc. A list of the items
salvageable and useable to the City will be prepared along with tilt-
possible
hepossible alternatives for removal of the building.
In regards to Building Code violations dt the old Monti,:llu Mord site,
it was the consensus of the Council members to requo•at that the State
Building Inspector be asked to cheek out the building himself for
violation■ to see if they Coincide with the City's building inspettor'e
report.
