ANNUAL LEAGUE CONFERENCE
The 68th annual League of Minnesota Cities conference will be held
in Rochester, Minnesota June 15th through the 18th, 1982. En-
closed you will find a brochure giving a program summary of the
activities planned and housing reservation information.
Arve is planning on attending and if any other council members
would like to go, please let me know so 1 can make proper arrange-
ments.
UPDATE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT TANKER PURCHASE
On March 16th Township Board meeting, the Monticello Township
Board approved the joint purchase of the new tanker pumper truck.
The Township had at their previous meeting tabled any action on
the purchase to review with their attorney the ramifications of
not taking the low bid from Laverne.
Willard Farnick, Fire Chief, indicated that the Township did
approve the purchase as recommended by the City Council including
the optional items trom the General Satety Equipment ana the
truck chassis from Monticello Ford.
According to Willard, it appears that new brakes will have to be
installed in the present tanker prior to the delivery of the new
truck which may take as much as nine months. Once the new fire
truck is delivered, more than likely the old tanker will remain
with the City and be used possibly by the Public Works Depart-
ment, therefore, repair expenditures for the brakes may be a
wise investment.
ADDITIONAL TAX LEVIES AGAINST NSP - EXERCISE COSTS.
Previously, Council members questioned whether the City would
have the right to levy additional taxes against Northern States
Power for the purpose of providing funds to cover the City's
coat in planning for a nuclear incident. In reviewing the
States Statutes and consulting with the League of Minnesota
Cities, it appears that the City of Monticello does not have
legal grounds for levying additional taxes against just one
property such as Northern States Power's generating plant for
the purpose of providing additional funds for Civil Defense
purposes. It was noted by the League of Minnesota Cities that
although the City may incur additional expenditures for the
sole purpose of providing nuclear response plans in case of a
I

Page U2
disaster which would seem to be attributable to NSP, NSP is already
providing additional tax base for the City and thus, the League
felt these costs should be borne undergeneral taxation of all
property within the City.
It would appear that all residential property and commercial property
would benefit by the City establishing a nuclear response
plan and not just Northern States Power.
The League of Minnesota Cities was sponsoring a legislative bill
that would allow cities to charge an extra levy against certain
properties if the City could show that these properties received
an extra benefit for these taxes. For example, if the City pro—
vides extra police protection in a certain residential subdivision,
because of a higher crime rate in that area, the proposed legis—
lation would allow the City to have this area pay an extra mill
levy to provide for this police protection. Although this would
be similar in that the City has extra expenses because of Northern
States Power being in the city limits, it may be hard to show that
the entire Civil Defense plan is a benefit only to NSP and not the
other property owners within the City. As of this date, even the
additional legislation allowing cities the right to cherga extra
for mill levies for certain services has not been passed, and as
L a result it does not seem possible for the City to single out
Northern States Power's property for additional mill levies
associated with Civil Defense.

Council Agenda - 3/22/82
I COUNCIL SUPPLEMENTAL
V.
1. Consideration of a Set -Up License and a 3.2 Beer License for the
Lions Club - Ducks Unlimited Banquet.
PURPOSE: The Monticello Lions Club has requested a temporary one
day set-up license and a 3.2 beer license for the annual Ducks
Unlimited banquet which is being planned for May 10, 1982 at the
Monticello Roller Rink.
The Ducks Unlimited organization annually holds a banquet in the
Monticello area which,in the past, has been held at the Caboret
Room of the River Inn. Due to the large turnout, Dicke Unlimited
is planning on holding their banquet on May 10th, 1982 at the
Monticello Roller Rink and as part of the banquet has requested
an organization to provide set-ups and 3.2 beer. The Monticello
Lions Club has agreed to provide this service for the banquet
and is thereby requesting a set-up license and 3.2 beer license
for the event.
The State Statutes allow local governments to issue two temporary
3.2 beer licenses per year to an organization and the Lions Club
would like the one day license for this event and will probably
ask for a one day license for the July 4th celebration. As far
as the set-up license is concerned, the State only recognizes
this license on an annual basis which is the same for the City.
The annual fee for the set-up license is $220.00 per year, but
City Ordinances do allow the licenses to be prorated from the
month of issuances until expiration which would be June 30th, 1982.
In this case, the months of May and June would be prorated total-
ing approximately $36.00 for the set-up license and $15.00 for
the temporary one day beer license making a total of $51.00 in
license face for the City with an additional $153.00 fee being
payable to the State of Minnesota.
As with the Softball Association, the Lions Club would also have
to provide the City with a Certificate of Insurance for general
liability and liquor liability, which the Lions Club representa-
tives indicate they have. If approved, both licenses should be
issued in the name of the Lions Club for the location of the
Monticello Roller Rink for a one day event on May 10th, 1982 only.
This would protect the Roller Rink from having a license for set-
ups until the expiration.
Representatives from the Lions Club will be at Monday night's
meeting to answer any questions in regard to the above license
applications.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Considerutlon of temporary one day 3.2 beer on-
8
le license and set-up license for the Lions Club on May 10th,
1982 at the Monticello Roller Rink. Any approval should be contin-
gent upon proof of general and liquor liability insurance coverage.
CCouncil Agenda - 3/22/82
2. Consideration of Appointment to Senior Citizens Board.
PURPOSE: To consider the appointment of Doug Pitt to the Senior
Citizens Board to fill the vacancy of Frank Thompson who recently
resigned.
At the January 11, 1982 Council meeting, all members of the Senior
Citizens Board were reappointed by the City Council to additional
one year term. Mr. Frank Thompson recently resigned from the
Senior Citizens Board creating a vacancy.
Marie Peterson and Karen Hansen, Senior Citizens Center Director,
recommended to the Senior Citizens Center Board that Doug Pitt
be appointed to fill the vacancy until December 31, 1982. The
Senior Citizens Board reviewed and recommended unanimously that
Doug Pitt be appointed. Mr. Pitt has indicated a willingness to
serve on the board if appointed.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of appointing Doug Pitt to fill
the vacancy created by the resignation of Frank Thompson on the
Senior Citizens Board.

Council Agenda - 3/22/82
3. Consideration of Allowing Monticello Youth Hockey Association to
Erect a Storage Shed near the Hockey Rink.
PURPOSE: To consider a request by the Monticello Youth Hockey
Association to erect a small storage shed in 4th St. park near
the Hockey Rink for the purpose of storing their garden and
sweeper along with miscellaneous shovels and brooms, etc.
Mr. Gene Jensen, representing the Youth Hockey Association, in-
dicated that the association may be able to obtain a small
8 K 12 foot wood storage building and would like permission to
place the barn -like structure on a cement slab near the hockey
rink for storage purposes. Mr. Jensen indicated that a building
may be donated to the association and the association would pro-
vide all labor and materials to place the structure in the park.
In addition, the facility may have electricity which they would
also provide on their own.
In reviewing this item with the Public Works Director, it appears
that there would be no problem with allowing the hockey group
to locate a storage building near the hockey rink as long as the
City is not responsible for clearing anuw, eLc. ur wuiaLmwuac
on the building.
If authorization is approved, it should be contingent upon the
building meeting the building inspector's approval and the Public
Works Department's approval of the site location.
POSSIBLE ACTION: To consider approving or denying the Youth
Hockey Association's request to place a storage building in 4th St.
Park.
REFERENCES: None. (A representative of the Monticello Youth
Hockey Association has been asked to be in attendance at the meeting
to answer any questions).

Council Agenda - 3/22/82
4. Consideration of Authorizing the Public Works Director to Prepare
Plans and Specifications and Advertising for Bids for a Main-
tenance Pole Type Building.
PURPOSE: John Simple, Public Works Director, would like to have
the City Council consider authorizing the preparation of plans
and specifications for the construction of a metal pole type
storage building at the present maintenance building site.
As part of the 1982 budget, $26,750 was budgeted for the pur-
pose of constructing a 2,800 square foot pole type building at
the maintenance building site. Recently, the City authorized
the purchase of a snow blower and $5,000 previously budgeted
for the maintenance was allocated towards this purchase which
still leaves a balance of $21,750 budgeted for a maintenance
building addition.
In order to give you some additional background on this build-
ing, John Simola has prepared a short, narrative summary on the
need for this new building. In addition, a sketch of the main-
tenance building site indicating the proposed location of this
new building is enclosed with the agenda.
In order to get a better idea of Lila actual cost for this type
of meeting, detailed plans and specifications should be completed
and then, if approved by the Council, advertisement for bids
could be solicited. At that time, a determination could be made
whether or not sufficient money has been budgeted to complete
the type of building desired by the Public Works Department.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of authorizing the Public Works
Director to prepare plans and specifications for a 36 X 78 foot
pole type building and advertising for bids.
REFERENCES A summary by John Simola regarding the need for the
building and the estimated coat along with the site plan.
NOTE: If authorization is given to John to prepare plans and
specifications and advertising for bids, it should be noted
that the City will have to hold a public hearing for issuance
of a conditional use permit to erect the building, since our
property is zoned R-1 and government utility buildings are
allowed as a conditional use only in R-1 Districts.

CADDITIONAL BUILDING - PUBLIC WORKS
(Pole Barn)
March 16, 1982
As discussed on several earlier occasions with the Council, the
Public Works Department is in need of additional storage space to
accommodate immediate needs and provide for some limited growth. In
preparation for this, the 1982 budget includes a figure of $26,750
for the purpose of constructing a 2,800 square foot pole type building
measuring approximately 36 X 78. $5,000 of the $26,750 was used to
purchase part of the snowblower leaving a balance of $21,750.00. 1
believe we can still provide a building of the needed mise for the
remaining amount. City personnel and summer help could pour the floor
and so some of the insulating and interior work, thus keeping costa
down.
The building would provide 4 stalls, 2 of the stalls would be
( used to house 1 snowplow truck each, 1 stall would be used for the
\ cold storage of the snowblower, snowplows and miscellaneous equip-
ment. The fourth stall would house one of the sludge vehicles in
the winter to allow the heated building at the WWTP to be used to
store the jet machine and leave room for repairs to miscellaneous
equipment.
I believe we could at this time of year receive favorable bide
and ask that 1 be allowed to prepare plans and specifications and
solicit bids to determine actual costs for your review.
C.
Sincerely,
John Simola
Public Works Director
I have enclosed previously supplied data for your information.
ADDITIONAL BUILDING FOP PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
The Public Works Department buildings have become crowded
since the last building was built in 1976. To aeeoam.odato immediate
needs and provide for some growth, an additional building is needed.
We estimate approximately 2,800 sq. ft, is needed to provide com-
fortable space for the existing usage and equipment.
Tentative plans would be to build a 36 x 78 metal pole type
building on the property obtained from NSP to the northwest
of the existing buildings. We would propose to have the capability
to heat the central S of the building (the most energy efficient)
and have that portion only, insulated. The building would have
four stalls and would be located as shown in the oncloacd drawing.
The city now has all of the electrical wire, conduit, lights
and wire necessary from Oakwood salvage no it would not be neer.s Giu•y
to include theno items.
In addition, the concrete floor could he included au an option
with the Public Works Department installing it if work acheduleu
pomi t .
Expected coats of this building are in the area of $26,000.
11owover, I would expect the bid to be somewhat below this figurp due
to the procent slump in the building trades.
Thin building should take care of our storage needs into thu
1990's.

REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
March 8, 1982 - 7:30 P.M.
Members Present: Arve Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Dan Blonigen,
Phil White.
Members Absent: Ken Maus.
]. Consideration of a Variance for a Certificate of
Occupancy - Monticello Printing.
Mr. Dave Kranz, owner of Monticello Printing, re-
quested a certificate of occupancy variance for
his new building being remodeled, located directly
east of the present fire hall. Mr. Kranz requested
the certificate of occupancy variance to enable him
to move into his new building prior to the comple-
tion of all finishing, landscaping and hard surfac-
ing of the parking lot.
Mr. Kranz indicated that the building will probably
be ready for occupancy approximately May let and
he has agreed to provide the City of Monticello with
a letter from his lending institution, the Wright
County State Bank, providing for one and a quarter
(1 1/4) times the amount of the cost of completing
the parking lot improvements.
A motion was made by Fair, seconded by Blonigen and
unanimously carried to approve the variance for a
certificate of occupancy for Monticello Printing's
new building with the letter of credit provided by
Wright County State Bank for one and a quarter
(1 ]/4) times the estimated amount of the unfinish-
ed improvements.
2. Consideration of Clarifvinq Current Park Dedication
Ordinance.
Previously, on March 9, 1981, the City Council
amended the park dedication ordinance requirement
which changed some of the wording to indicate that
an appraisal of the market value of a subdivision
shall be provided by the developer for purposes of
computing the ten percent (109) park dedication
fee if the contribution was to be in cash in lieu
of land. The now ordinance amendment provided that
an appraisal shall be based on current market value
of the raw land. The market value based on raw
land resulted in a substantial increase in the
Council Minutes - 3/8/82
market value calculations over the county assessor's -�
market value, which intended to help equalize the
values should a subdivider contribute either cash
or actual land for park purposes.
Although raw land was not actually defined in the_
ordinance, it was the concensus of the Council that
this would mean the value of the land prior to the
actual platting of a subdivision into lots. In
addition, the Council addressed whether any sewer,
water or storm sewer improvements should be consid-
ered in the value of the raw land for determining
park dedication requirements. It was the opinion
of the City Staff along with the concensus of the
Council that the definition of raw land was to mean
unplatted land and unimproved land.
3. Consideration of Allocation of Funds Towards
Monticello's Chamber of Commerce Business b Indus-
trial Development Committee.
Mr. Bruce Gagnelius of the Business 6 Industrial
Development Committee reviewed with the Council
the Committee's goals for 1982 which include direct
mail advertising campaigns to attract business to
Monticello. As part of their 1982 budget, they
-- requested $5,000.00 funding to be allocated to the
committee by the City of Monticello out of a total
budget of $16,555.00, it was noted that in addi-
tion to the $5,000.00 requested from the City, the
Chamber of Commerce would contribute $6,710.00 along
with an additional $4,845.00 reserve balance to make
up the total budget of $16,555.00.
Mr. Gagnelius noted that in the past, the City's
contributions have been used primarily for adver-
tising in state publications and again this year,
the City funds would be used primarily to promote
the City of Monticello through direct mail campaigns.
A motion was made by Phil White, secondod by Fran
Fair and unanimously carried to allocate $5,000.00
to the Chamber of Commerco Committee on Business 6
Industrial Development during 1982.
