Public Hearinq for Proposed Assessments on Delinquent Accounts. PURPOSE: To place on assessment rolls t!ose accounts which are delin- quent {amount is over 60 days past due'. on the assessment roll to be certified to the county auditor for :,,llection. Minnesota Statutes 429.101 and 444.7;. Subdivision 3, allow for special assessments to be collected for various types of current ser- vices that are delinquent. Those people whose accounts are delinquent have been notified of the public hearing and are given an opportunity to present input if they so desire. The following are delinquent accounts that are over 60 days past due and unpaid as of the date this agenda was prepared: JRobert Bennett Sewer/Water Hookup $195.06 Gwen Bateman Sewer/Water Hookup 170.00 "Ed Rivers Sewer/Water Hookup 178.80 'Ed Rivers Sewer/Water Hookup 195.06 Mel Wolters Sewer/Water Hookup 192,50 John's Discount Sewer/Wator Charge Wayside Inn Sewer/Water Charge 297.04 Torn McCauley Sewer/Water Charge 264.92 "Ed Rivers Sewer/Water Charge 54.00 Donna Allen Sower Charge 77.75 Viva Jean Abrahamson Sawar/Water Charge 107,00 Lowell Hendrickson Sewer/Watar Charge 74.50 Ronald Zachman Sewer/Water Charge 39.00 Michael Klain Sewer/Water Charge 69.90 Dino's Sower Charge 151.00 L/ob'a Mobil Sower/Water Charge 87.49 vboo'a Car W.bi, ..o. ......r Charyc 7n.

It should be pointed out that 8% is the highest interest rate allowable for assessments that have not been financed through bonds. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of adoption of above assessment roll for collection in 1982 at the interest rate of 89. Council Agenda - 9/28/81 2. Consideration of a Zoninq Ordinance Amendment to Allow Consiqnmunt Sales as a Conditional Use Within an I-1 (Light Industrial) Zone. PURPOSE: As a result of an application filed by Tonette Ruff to have a consignment sales facility on Lot 1, Block 12, of the City of Monti- cello, it is necessary to consider a zoning ordinance amendment, since this lot is zoned as I-1 and the use is not specifically allowed in a light industrial zone. At the Planning Commission's September 8, 1981 meeting, a zoning ordi- nance amendment was recommended to the City Council, which would allow consignment sales in an I-1 zone based on the following conditions: 1. Consideration be given to Ordinance Section 10-22-3 which requires that making a consideration of such a conditional use be based upon the following factors: A. Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan. B. The geographical area involved. 1 � C. Whether such use will 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. 2. :ales and ctcrage are not to exceed 1,000.9juare feetin wren. 3. At least BOB of the gnlcs shall he of consigned merchandise. 4. No auctions shall take place on the premises. S. There shall be no outside storage. in reviewing the specific requeate for Tonetto Ruff, the Planning Com- mission felt that the particular request would not be detrimental to the area in which it wan proposed. There were no objections heard at the Planning Commfosion hearing on thio subject. However, the Planning Commission did feel that particular guidellneo should be act up for tuture requests of a similar nacuru, and this lei ihu vuuouuuGpacl:le conditions liatod above were attached. For example, while Mo.Tonotte Ruff mecto the requirement as to the sales and storage area not exceeding 1,000 square foot, there was sane concern by the Planning Commission that the City should still have control of come sort if a larger consignment sales facility is prop000d in the future. - 3 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 It should be explained that consignment sales is the act or process of having a firm or person known as the consignor distribute goods or materials to a consignee who then offers the goods for sale. Normally, in a situation such as this, the consignee, the person offering the goods for sale is not obligated to purchase such items. Normally, the consignee charges the consigner a percentage of the sale if the items are sold. If the items are not sold they are returned eventually to the consignez. POSSIBLE ACTION. Consideration of an ordinance amendment to allow a consignment sales ina light industrial zone as a conditional use along with the conditions indicated above.* RFFERFNCES: The Planning COMMission minutes of September 8, 1981. *Ordinance Amendment requires 4/5'a vote of the Council for approval. . 4 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 Consideration of Conditional Use for Consignment Sales in an I-1 Zone - Tonette Ruff. PURPOSE: Tonette Ruff has made application for a conditional use Permit request to allow a consignment sales facility in an I-1 zone. It would be necessary to have the zoning ordinance amend- ment passed prior to taking up this particular application. while it probably makes sense to discuss both matters at the same time, this is the reason why the items were separated on the agenda it- self . Ms. Tonette Ruff is proposing to offer various items of craft that have been produced by people who have consigned these goods to her for sale. According to Ms. Ruff, she would charge a fee per month based on the amount of space used by the person offering the goods to her for consignment. Additionally, she would charge a certain percentage if the items eventually sold. All the items would be small items and Ms. Ruff brought in a newspaper article, a copy is enclosed, depicting somewhat the proposed use of this facility. This facility was previously used as a residence and is just immedi- ately west of Jean Brouillard's bulk storage tank. It should be mentioned that the Planning Commission did consider one other al- ternative and that was to rezone the property to B-3, which would allow this type of use, however it was felt that this would be spot zoning in this particular area. Hearing no objections from the surrounding property owners and taking the particular .Location into consideration, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve of the particular conditional use permit request. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval nf conditional use permit for a consignment sales facility for Ms. Tonette Ruff.* REFERENCES: The Planniny Commission minutes of September 8, 1981, an enclosed map depicting the location and an excerpt from a letter in the newspaper somewhat describing the proposed use of this new consignment sales facility. -Conditional Use Request requires 4/5's vote of the Council for approval. - 5 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 q. Consideration of an Extension of a Variance for the Elimination of a Parkinq Lot Curb Barrier - The Attic Mini -Storage Building. PURPOSE: To consider an extension of a variance for The Attic Mini - Storage building in Oakwood Industrial Park owned by James V. Sund- be rg . In 1978, the City Council approved a variance request of up to two (2) years for Rick Doerr and Dean Hoglund, who, at the time, were owners of this facility called D 6 R Storage. This variance expired in September of 1980, at which time James Sundberg, the new owner of the building, along with his brother, requested an extension for one (1) year. A copy of a letter from Mr. Sundberg dated July 1, 1980, is enclosed for your reference. Mr. Sundberg, again, is requesting an extension of an additional year in his letter dated September 11, 1981, a copy of which is enclosed. Mr. Sundberg mentions the fact that curb barriers are normally for controlling drainage, and currently, there is no problem with standing water. In fact, he mentions that possibly, a curb barrier could be detrimental to existing drainage flows. Additionally, he mentions that he plan., to `buil"-- another L-jilding on the rercel which wa_u79 require thatanycurbing to the rear of the building would have to be taken out. With the request for an extension of one year, the total time requested for a variance would equal four years. In light of this and the likeli- hood that there could be possibly another request in September of 1982, I would recommend that the Council oither consider a permanent variance or require portable curbing similar to that installed at the Tom Thumb Superette to be installed by October 1, 1982. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of: 1. Variance extension until Octo- ber 1, 1982. 2. Permanent Variance. 1. Extension of variance until October 1, 1982, at which time, at least a portable curb barrier would be installed.

Public Hearing on the Proposed 1962 Budqet Includinq Appropriation of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. PURPOSE,: Federal Revenue Sharing Laws require that a public hearing be held on the appropriation of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and also on the city's entire budget. The City of Monticello has to certify to the County Auditor by October 10, 1981, its local levy to allow for collection in 1982. In 1981, the City of Monticello is expected to receive $87,151 in Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. This has been revised from the previous estimate that was given to us by the Federal government of $95,013.00, as a result of change in population according to the Census Bureau from 3,111 people to 2,830. The difference of 281 people has now been con- firmed and resulted in this change due to the Census Bureau counting 281 people in the Township of Monticello as being in the area which was annexed by the city in 1977. This particular area owned by Jim Boyle and on the south side of the freeway actually contains zero population. However, there was a mix up in the Census Bureau count and they at- tributed 281 people on a particular tract to the Township of Monticello and the same 281 people to the area that was annexed by the City of t3u3iticailo, and as a result, there van double count of 291 people which only belonged to the Township of Monticello. Since the population affects the amount of revenue sharing, this has resulted in a decrease of $8,662 allocated to the City of Monticello. In the preliminary review of the budget at the City Council's September 14, 1981 meeting, there was concern over the 1982 levy proposed of $1,177,953, which was a 12.47% increase over the city's levy in 1981 of $1,047,353. After reviewing various alternatives, I would recommend that the City of Monticello reduce the proposed levy to $1,102,828.00 based on the following changes: - Increase of $695 for the Bond Levy - This has come about with the sale of the 1981 G.O. Bonds at our September 14, 1901 meeting. The levy collectable in the first year has been revised from $8,416 to $9,111. - Rrduction of $30,000 in Capital Outlay Revolving Levy - The widening of 7th Street from Hwy 25 to Codar Street estimated to be $30,000 could actually be taken from she prouuuds of the 1901 Gun.&:a, OI-igs- tion Improvement Fund. As you may recall, this particular fund is for improvements to Codar Street for storm sower and also improvements to a portion of the Meadows Subdivision and improvements to west River Street abutting the NSP Training facility. It appears that this fund will have a balance and can legally be used for other improvements. I have checked this out with Springsted, Inc., and they have indicated that thin could be legally done. It should be pointed out that this -7 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 would, in no way, jeopardize the debt redemption of the particular bonds in question or affect the assessment to the area originally improved. Often times the City will initiate a project and add other projects through change orders, etc. if this amount is not used for some other improvement, it would merely sit in the debt service fund for ten years until the bond was retired and as a result, it was not included in the reserve balance. - Reduction of $20,000 in Street Fund Levy and $20,000 in the Tree Fund Levy - According to John Simola, the loader expected to cost $50,000 can be purchased at 208 down with 101 financing. Since the City of Monticello earns 188 on its money, we would actually be better off to finance this piece of equipment than to pay for it in one year. This type of financing is being offered since the current economy has reduced the sale of heavy equipment and manufacturers are offering internal financing at low interest rates (Whether this same type of financing would be available for the tank truck in our Fire Department remains to be seen) . - Reduction of $2,470 in General Fund Levy - The City Council auth- orized $10,000 for the Sumner Recreation Program, whereas $12,470 was in the original budget. - roduction. of $3.350 in General Fund - Pelice contrnct w^!i estimated to increase 100, however, according to Darrell Wolff, sheriff, there will be an increase of only 6%, and as a result, a savings of $3,350 will occur. The changes as recommended above and a comparision of the 1961 Levy and the 1982 Levy would be as follows: - 8 - 1980 Levy 1981 Levy Collectible 1981 Collectible 1982 Amount mills Amount mills General $211,815 5.057 $203.905 4.868 Library - 0 - . 0 - 1Fk,050 .431 Street 177,975 4.249 179,693 4.290 Tree - 0 - 0 - 9,975 .238 Park 40,500 .967 47,725 1.139 C.O.

Area 75C .018 Boo .019 Fire 24,380 .582 36.395 .869 Bonds 471,978 11.270 $25.585 12.549 $1,047,353 25.007 $1,102,828 26.331 - 8 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 This levy will result in an increase of $55,475 or 5.30 and of this amount $53,607 has resulted because of the increase in the bond levy which we are required by law to levy. Further reductions could also come about if the City Council were to reduce the projected reserve balance $641,114 ($649,776 as shown on Page 23, the preliminary budget less reduced federal revenue sharing of $8,662). While I feel this is a fairly comfortable reserve balance, I would be very cautious about reducing this for taxes collectable for 1982 for the following reasons: - Under the above proposal, the local levy will only increase 5.39, which is well below any inflation factors. It would seem better to use the reserve balance in some future budget year, otherwise the mill rate for the City of Monticello could become quite erratic. Although it is just a proposal at this time, President Reagan has announced the administration's intentions of having Federal Revenue Sharing completely eliminated in the future. A good share of the existing reserve plus future reserves has been composed of Federal Revenue Sharing dollars. - 1 don't believe a rusecvu lwlance of $641,114 is an excess, in light of the fact that the city within the next four to five years may be considering funding a $1,000,000 interceptor sewer project. It may be pointed out that the $1,000,OW was based on 1980 costs. - Without an adequate reserve balance, the City of Monticello might not be able to take advantage of an opportunity such as the purchase of the Oakwood block of $100,000 from the school district. Also, we are currently considering the possible acquisition of the Lindberg property next to the Treatment Plant which could sell for approximately $120,000. - Within the current budget no provision has been made for such items as funding the Ibistorical Society or a shelter for the Commuter Parking Lot, whether those items may or may not be expended is questionable at this time. One additional item should be mentioned is that the levy limit for the City of Monticello has boon revised in accordance with a copy of the September 16, 1981 letter from nave Douglas, Wright County Auditor, as a result of a corrected figure in the number of homesteads. With this increase, our levy limitation, exclusive of special levies, would be $670,292, and the actual levy as proposed above would only be $565,585. This in based on the proposed levy of $1,102,828 lose the proportionate levy for Firemen's Relief of $1603, for the Tree Fund of $9,975, and for the Bond Fund of $525,585. - 9 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of appropriation of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds of $87,151 towards the City of Monticello's share of the wastewater Treatment Plant upgrading and adoption of the 1982 Budget including a proposed local levy of $1,102,828.

Consideration of Award of Contract on Bids Received for Library Park- ing Lot. PURPOSE: To consider the award of a contract for bids to be received by the City on Thursday, September 24, 1981 for surfacing of the library parking lot. On Thursday, September 24, 1981, the City of Monticello will be re- ceiving bids for the surfacing of the library parking lot. Bids will be received both on a concrete parking lot and also bituminous sur- faced parking lot. On Thursday evening, September 24th, the Library Board will meet_ to review the bids received and have their recommenda- tion to the Council for Monday night's meeting. POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of an award of a contract for the Sur- facing of the library parking lot. Council Agenda - 9/28/81 7. Consideration of Approval of Fire Contract with Silver Creek Town- ship for 1982 and 1983. PURPOSE: To consider the approval of a Fire Contract with Silver Creek Township for 1982 and 1983. On January 16, 1981, the City Council approved of a one year Fire Contract with the Township of Silver Creek calling fona stand by charge of $1,000.00 plus an hourly fee for the first hour of $250 and $150 for each additional hour or portion there of. This con- tract was approved after much deliberation between the Township of Silver Creek and the Joint Fire Board of the City and Township of Monticello. Initially, the Joint Fire Board had recommended a stand by charge of $4,000.00 and an hourly fee of $200.00 for the first hour and $100.00 for each additional hour. However, because of the fact that the Township of Silver Creek had already set their budget for 1981, it was recommended that a one year contract be entered into and consideration be given at a later date for a two year contract for 1982 and 1983. A two year contract for 1982 and 1983 has been approved by the Silver Creek Township Board and a Joint Fire Board calling for a SO,OCO sand Ly c:�rgo in 1002 and an :0,000 stand by charge in 1983 with no cost being charged per fire call. This particular method was favored by Silver Creek Township Board over the above mentioned $4,000 stand by fee and an hourly fee of $200 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour. The reaoon for this is concern over the effect of trying to stabilize their budget for fireafrom year to year since the current method sometimes puts their fire fund in jeopardy if they had quite a few fixes. It should be pointed out that this method should produce about $2600 more in revenue to the City of Monticello than the previous method recommend- ed by the Fire Board. However, the Fire Board felt that since there would be no charges for each fire call that the amount of the stand by charge ahould be increased. The first proposal pro- sented by the Fire Board on a one time fee was $7,000 for each year, but Silver Creek Township Board had only $6,000 in their budget for 1982 and as a result the compromise was reached to charge $6,000 for 1982 and $8,000 for 1983. Unclosed, you will find a copy of the proposed contract that has been approved both by the Silver Crock Township Board and the Joint Fire Board. If tLis contract is approved by the City Council, it will also go to tho Township Board of Monticello for final approval. - 12 - Council Agenda - 9/28/81 POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of Fire Contract for 1982 and 1983 with Silver Creek Township calling for a one time fee of $6,000 in 1982 and a one time fee of $8,000 in 1983 with no additional cost per fire call.

Members Present: Jim Ridgeway, Dick Martie, Ed Schaffer, Loren Klein, Members Absent: John Bondhus, Sill Burke. SPECIAL NOTE: Because of a lack of 4/5's of the members of the Planning Commission not being present, those who were present requesting variances asked that their variance consideration be post- poned until the October 13, 1981 Planning Commission meeting. L. Aporrnral of the Minutes. Unanimous approval of the minutes of the August 11, 1981 Planninq Commission meeting was given. 2. Consideration of a Zoninq Amendment. As a result of an application filed by Tonatte Ruff to develop a , signmer,t sales facility on her property located on Lot 1, Block 1?, of tho original Plat of the City of Monticello, an ordiance ameni- mont was considered which wvuld allow tlwt ccnwJ4t wilt r:alr,o aacilit,, to be developed within an 1-1 zone. In reviewing the specific request made by Tonatte Ruff, the Planning Comnision felt that the particular request would nut bo dutrimcntal to the area of t1w 1-1 zona for which she tied prop-»od her apliliritann for a consignment sales facility. However, th• Planning Commission did fool that arxne guidelines nhnnfld be act for future requests of a similar nature, and the following conditions were approved to ba made a part of thn consideration fur .1 conalgnment sales facility within an I -I zone and are as follrrwn: 1. ronsideration should be given to Ordinance Section 10-22-3 requires that making a consideration for a conditiural use shxild he hosed on the following facture: A.

Al. least 00% .f the solos ball be of consignei merchandise. 4. Ra auctir• %hould take ta on the promistw. �, 3 Planning Commission Minutes - 9/8/R1 5. There should be no outside storage. Hearing no object-' -ons, and with a feeling that the particular request would not be detrimental to the area in which it. was proposed, a motion was made and seconded and unanimously carried to recommend a zoning ordinance amendment to allow a consignment sales facility within on I-1 zone as is proposed along with the considerations as stated. 3. Consideration of a Conditional Use for a Consiqnnent Sales in an 7-1 Zone - Tonette Ruff. As a result of the same application which pranpted the consideration of a zoning crdinanee amendment, as stated in th-± nrevious minutes item, consideration was made for granting Tonette Ruff a conditional use permit to allow a consignment sales facility on her property located on Lot 1, Block 12, of the City of Monticello. Tonette Ruff is proposing to offer various items of craft that have been produced by other people who would like to consign those goods to her for sale. According to Mrs. Ruff, she would charge a fee per month based on the amount of space used by the person offering the goods to her for consignment, and also would charge that individual a certain nercentaae of the items if thev were eventually sold. All of the items which Mrs. Ruff would be handling would be relatively small itema. Mrs. Ruff brought in a newspaper article depicting somewhat what the proposed use of her facility would two. Hearing no objections at the public hearing, and taking into considera- tion that the Planning Commission felt that this particulai request would not bu detrimental to the area in which it was proposed, a motion was mnde and seconded and unanimously approved to reconnncnd that this conditional use request he granted. !:ec ing ad jour ed.

Councilman Blonigen was very concerned about the purchase price as well as the lost interest on our in- vestment money. ao There is a method which would work well in our current situation. This method is lease purchase. I have discussed this with at least two equipment dealers who offer this option. The current lease rates are from 10 to 12%, while we are presently earning 16W on our money. Basicly, this means that we could trade in our loader toward a now machine and pay approximately ,$12,000 per year for five year;o i at a constant simple interest rate (Based on a $50,000 trade price). This alternate appears very attractive and should be considered. It caild be included as an alternate in the bid. � G � 4 5 r2 X11 J ttJ N'i O t o O G _ O S .)

At the City Council's meeting on September 14, 1981, there was a concern expressed from the council members that the fact that the local tax levy could result in approximately a 12130 increase in the city's mill rate or a total of $130,600. It was explained to the council that the prime reasons for this increase were as follows: - Increase of $52,912 because of the Bond Levy. - Increase yif $12,015 because of the Fire Fund Levy. - Increase of approximately $16,000 because of the Library Levy. - Increase of $29,975 because of the Tree Levy. - Inflation. It was decided to review the budget in more detail for possible cut backs at the City Council's September 28, 1981 meeting. I indicated to them that I would present to Cham various alternatives. some of thcz;c alter- natives could include the following: - Reduce the reserve balance projected at the end of 1982 which is proposed to be $649,776. - There will he a reduction in the police contract of $3,346 after receiving information from the Wright County Sheriff'o Department. - There will be an increase in the projected Liquor Fund balance of $5,000 which could be added to the reserve balance. - The treo program could be reduced. - widening 7th Street for. $30,000, budgeted for in 1982, could possibly he done through a change order on the contract with LoTour Con- struction Company. - Capital Outlay items could be prioritized by the department heads and possibly some items could be put off into fo lowing years. - It would seem that the $175,000 allocated for a ,�� truck could be taken off the Capital Improv®ont Program. - 1 - Memorandum - Budget File September 16, 1981 Page 82 - Reduce the reserve fund for the Library which is now set at $5,000. - Allocate more cost to the enterprise funds such as Lynnea's salary for the sewer and water department, but this would result also, in increased fees. - Reduce the allocation for the YMCA Program. - Reduce the cost incurr for Animal Control by reducing the length of stayi=g to 3 days Me 5 days. - Review various fee structures and uber fees. It should be mentioned that within the 1982 Budget, except for the Class A Operator in the sewer department, there are no new employees expected to be added or new programs instituted. For example, there has been no allocation for the Historical Society in the 1982 Budget. At the September 14, 1981 meeting, the reserve balance was talked about, and the following are some other significant items in addition to using a portion of the reserve to reduce the tax levy. - within the Capital Improvement Program for the next 4 years, it is expected to receive approximately $300,000 from the Gale of Oakwood property and there may W some justification for keeping the reserve balance as high as it is because it may take a longer period of time to sell this property than indicated. - There may be arguments made for a large reserve balance because of the fact that under current law, utilities are not on a ad valorem basis. - Possibly such yearly items as seal coating and park improvements could be taken out of the Capital Outlay Program and put in the regular operation coat similar to what is being done in 1982. This would not have any effect on 1982 taxes since it is already included within the budget, but it would have an effect on the fact that the rooerve balance may not be required to be quite as largo. - There to a possibility that a portion of the interceptor newer which costs $1,000,000 could he financed through another method ouch as its. General obligation Improvement Bond or possibly assesood. how- ever, either case would result in increased tax levy or assossmonto in another form to Monticello. Reserve Funds should be high to an extent to resolve the normal cash flow problems a municipality has, which only receives half of its monay from taxes in July and the other half in November or December. Memor Memorandum - Budget File September 16, 1981 Page N1 - Some type of guideline possibly should be developed to determine how large the Reserve Fund balance should be. However, possibly even a better way than developing a guideline would be through what has been done already in initiating Capital Improvement Programs which justifies the reserve balance, but also to review how large that reserve balance should be in case other items need to be purchased. One thing that was mentioned was that even though the budget shows a relatively small increase to a home owner from 1981 to 1982, it is quite likely that the increase will be larger because a home owner's appraised value will be higher. Under the current economic conditions, this is somewhat questionable since real estate has not increased in value that drastically. One other item that might be worth mentioning is the fact that a good share of the Capital Improvement Program Reserve balance is to fund the $1,000,000 interceptor project. It may be well for the Council to authorize our engineer to prepare a brief report on the necessity of the interceptor sewer, cost, and timing, etc. Other reasons other than just Capital Improvement Programs for building up a large reserve is the possibility that sometime in the future the GOW46/ AGQQuafto may increase the police protection hours and the increase from one year to another would then be somewhat doubled up because there would be an increase in the contract plus an increase in the contracted hours and it would he nice to have some sort of reserve balance to off cot that. However, before any increase in the number of hours for police protection should be authorized, it would be well to receive documentation as to the number of calla received during the particular hours that the city may add. Additionally, the same thing can be said about other funds that may find it necessary to add additional personnel, etc. It should be pointed out that the average rate of the mill levy of the city should be compared with other out of state communities to determine if the City of Monticello is higher or lower than the average. Another item relative to the Reserve Fund being accumulated is that items will occur that will be of a relatively high cost to the city and may not be able to he programmed into a fnur or five year Capital Improvement Ci Memorandum - Budget File September 16, 1981 Page #4 Program. Examples would be the $30,000 River Street Improvement Project to rectify some existing sanitary sewer problems and another example would be the widening of 7th Street. So although we might not do all the programs in the Capital Improvement Project or '-rogram, there may be and obviously will be others added as we go down the line. Another example would have been the 61J00,000 outlay for the Oakwood School building and the demo- lition cost involved for its removal.

One interesting item in the last issue of the Minnesota Leay_,e of Cities magazine is that cities do have the right to institute a malicious prosecution suit. A particular case involved an indi- vidual who unsuccessfully sued a city in California for false arrest based on allegations the individual knew to be false. As a result, the city instituted a suit against the individual for malicious prosecution. There was a question of whether a city could bring such a suit and the court ruled in favor of the city. The court noted the increasing frequency of suits against cities in recent years, some of which are instituted without a real belief and a merit and concluded that the deterrent effect in- herent in a rule permitting the maintenance of an action from malicious prosecution of civil litigation would be of special significance in the case of cities.

(See Resolution 1981-030). - 1 - Council Minutes- 9/14/81 2. Consideration of a Motion to Reconsider the Set Back Variance - John Bondhus. A request was made by tar. John Bondhus to ask the City Council to reconsider his previous request for a variance to allow a warehouse building to exist within five feet of the property line. At the August 24, 1981 council meeting, this variance was denied. Prior to the August 24, 1981 council meeting, Mr. Bondhus requested and was granted a variance to allow the warehouse building to be located within 22 feet of the property line as opposed to a 40 foot normal set back requirement. At the time of construction, a foreman for Bondhus Tool responsible for constructing the building, located the building to within five feet of the property line to avoid some extra excavating costs and tree removal. Mr. Bondhus now requested that the council reconsider the five foot sot back variance due to a financial hardship in moving the building to the required 22 foot sot back. Mr. Bondhus indicated that the cost of relocating the building has been estimated at between $3500 to $4500. A motion was made by Fair, seconded. by White to reconsider the vari- ance request for the requested five foot sot back by Bondhus Corpora- tion. voting in favor of the motion was Fair and White. Opposed was Grinamo, Blonigon, and Maus. 3. Consideration of the Improvements to the Softball Field.

Regulations governing Federal Revenue Sharing Funds require_ that the City Council hold a public hearing prior to the adoption of the proposed budget for the following year. The purpose of the public hearing is to allow local citizens and groups 3n opportunity to pre- sent written and verbal comments on how the proposed revenue sharing money is to be spent. In 1982, it is expected that the City of Monticello will receive approximately $87,151.00 in Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. During the past three years, the City Council has appropriated its revenue sharing entitlements towards the city's share of the wastewater Treatment Plant Project. It was recommended by the city adminiotru- tor that the anticipated Revenue Sharing Funds totaling $87,151.00 be also appropriated towards the city's share of the Wastewater Treatment Plant construction. Hearing no comments from the public on other pussible usos of the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for 1982, a motion was made by White, seconded by Fair and unanimmisly carried to propose allocating the 1982 Revenue Sharing Funds in the amount of $87,151 towards the city's share of the Wastewater Treatment Plant construction project fund. 6. Consideration of Approval of a Joint City/School District Summer Recreation Proiram for 1982. In accordance with the agreement Previously approved by thct City Council, of Monticello and the school district, Candy Benoit, the assi.utant Community Education Director, sutmitLed to the council the LD82 budget for the summer recreation program as propoRed by the joint advisory board. The. proposed budget calls for an increase in tLo city's participa- tion.from $0,059.50 to $12,469.62 basad on a coat sharing formula of 5011 ror each. According to Candy Benoit, tle, assistant Commwmit7 Education Director, the .primary reasons for the budget increase wCro flue mainly to an increase in swimming lessons and open swimming from the 01 budget figure of $963 to the proposed 82 figure of $3,494: 1:7. Benoit explained that the 01 budget amount was just under budgeted and the 82 figuro would be more reflective of the actual cost. The scruna primary reason was the increase in administration cost for the director, assi4tint director, and secretary of $5,610.00, accounting for over 60% of the increase. According to Me. Benoit, thin was duo to the fact thnt in 1181, Community Education Director, Duane Gates, war on a leave of obsenca and his return to the staff would result in an overcall increase of salaries for the community Education staff. Additionally, the seero-t- ary whose time was allocated to community education has now reached a higher pay level and all of her costs relating to the recreation pro- gram and community education is losing paid from that fund. 3 - Council Minutes - 9/14/81 The council members expressed concern over the large percentage in- crease in the cost of running the summer recreation program and were mainly concerned about the large administrative cost of the budget. The administrative cost of running the recr,:ation program as pro- posed for 82 would amount to over 43% of the total budget. Concerns were also expressed by the Council that when the city origi- nally went with a joint agreement whereby the cost of the summor program would be split 50 - 50, the city wasn't expecting the budget to jump from $16,000 in 1981 to almost $25,000 the following year. A motion was made by Fair to approve the budget for the joint summer recreation program for 1982 and the city's allocation being $12,469.62 or 50% of the budget. Hearing no second to the motion, the motion died. Due to the fact that the city's allocation to the summer recreation program has already increased from $2200 in 1977 to $8,059 in 1961, a motion was made by MMus, seconded by White, to approve a city allo- cation of $10,000 towards the joint summer recreation program for. 1982. Voting in favor was Maus, White, Crimsmo, and Fair. Opposed: Blonigen. It was noted that Blonigen's opposition to the city participation in the joint recreation program in due to the Sect that he feeler the city residents are paying double by being taxed through school district and by the city. 7. ReviAw of the Preliminary eudgat for 1982. The Camnil. members reviewed the proliminary.budget e*opoLCd for 19b2 which tentatively calls for n tax levy of $1,177,953. This prococed tax levy is approximately 12% more than was levied in 1981. Although the budget had not bean reviewed in its entirety by the Council members, concerns were expressed by sane of the members that the city rhould try to keep the mill levy the tame for 1982 as was -in 1981. it watt noted that although the assessed valuation for 1982 ,has not been U nalized-by the county, the proposed budg,:t may result in an approximate 3 mill increase in tho local tax levy. A publle, hearing on the actual budget for 1982 will be held on L-crtcm- bar 29th, at the next regular council meeting at which time the city admi'tls,�rator was requested to outlino some alturnativen M'ur ioc::,ibl, reductions in the proposed 82 budget. At the September 28th mneLiny, the Council will review the budget in detail tc, determine if areae can be found for reductions. - 4 - Council Minute -`e - 9/14/81 C6.
