Approval of Minutes. Motion was made by Blonigen, seconded by Maxwell, and unanimously carried to approve the minutes of the regular meeting held April 8, 1985. 3. Citizens Commonts/Po tit ions. Requests and Complaints. Lao Harstad of 106 East 3rd Street complained to the Council that hu hue frequently had problems with air being in the water line to his home. in addition, the burst of air that occurs when he turns on his faucets results in dirty water from iron deposits, otc., being stirred up in the water lines. Mr. Gary Schabon, representing the Monticello Baseball Association, requested that the Council consider adding a baseball field to the planned softball complex on the NSP property. The Council noted that both of those items in regards to the water study being presented by the City Consulting Engineer and a possible grant for softball field construction will be discussed later, and these items will be taken up at that time. 4. Public Hearing - Plaza Partners Subdivision. 5. Consideration of Granting Pinal Aonroval to Plaza Partners Subdivision Mr. Jim Powers appeared before the Council snaking approval of a roplatting of the I-94 Plaza that wan formally granted approval as a Planned Unit Development in December, 1984. The PUD originally propocad the construction of a health club, motel, and restaurant in addition to the existing Mondy'a franchise. Mr. Powers now planned to locate the health club further south within the PUD, and the plans for the roataurant and motel have boon eliminated. An a result, Mr. Powers proposed to redesign Outlet D into additional standard lots as a normal subdivlaton. The park dedication loo for this subdivision has boon roquoatod to be deferred for a period of one year or until the next building permit in issued, at which time it would be payable in full. -2. ®r-?- Council Minutes - 4/22/85 Motion was made by Maxwell, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously �• carried to approve the final Plaza Partners Subdivision as revised and to defer the park dedication foe payment for a period of one year or until the next building permit is issued, whichever comes first. 6. Consideration of Adopting a Resolution of Approving Plans and Specifications for Fire Hall Construction and Authorizing Advertisement for Bide. Motion was made by Bill Fair, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to adopt Resolution 1985 08 approving plane and specifications for construction of Fire Hall and ordering advertisement for bids receivable May 16 at 3:00 P.M. 7. Consideration of Authorizing tho Acquisition of Ancillary Equipment for the Fire Department Van. Mr. Doug Pitt, representing the Fire Department, presented a list of equipment items they would like to purchase for the new used stop van recently purchased from the City of North Branch. In addition, estimates were presented for painting the truck to match the existing fire trucks along with relattering, otc. In addition to the paint job, ouch items as a 2 -way radio, lights, sirens, portable generators, and additional air tanks, J ate., wore estimated to cost approximately $8,000.00. J Motion was made by Maxwell, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to approve the acquisition of the additional equipment requested not to exceed $8,000.00 no listed. B. Consideration of Granting a Conditional Una Roquoot to Allow a Solt Service Gas Station and a convenience Store in a B-3 (Highway-BUeiness) Zone - Applicant, Curt Hoqlund. Curt and Anna Mao Hoglund presented a proposal to build a convenience store and solf service gas canter on the corner of County Road 39 and County Road 75. The plan as presented mot all conditions of the City Ordinance except for a request by the Hoglundo to eliminate a small portion of curbing on the wast aide of the property near the driveway entrance off of county Road 75. Tho reason for the request was to provide access to the abutting lot in the future from one common driveway. Public Works Director, John Simolo, noted that the Wright County Highway Engineer reviewed the plan and had concerns with the proposed curbing being located 5 foot from the property lino along County Road 39, as the County is considering upgrading County Rodd 39 within the next few years and may require additional right of way. If the County should need an additional 13 foot of right of way, the existing curbing, if placed at 5 foot from ` �— the property lino, would be required to he moved, as it would J be in the property acquired by the County. -2. ®r-?- Council Agenda - 4/22/85 Anna Mae Hoglund noted that the County recently approved their site plan and made no mention of the possibility of acquiring additional right of way from them. It was noted that the County doesn't have jurisdiction over the City's Ordinances at the present time, but the City would try to work with the County and the developer on this problem. A suggestion was made that possibly the City should require the curbing to be placed 12 feet from the property line along County Road 39 rather than the required 5 feet so that if the County did acquire the additional right of way, the curbing would then end up exactly on the property line and would not have to be moved. Motion was made by Fran [air, seconded by Blonigen, to approve the conditional use request for convenience store and gas station with the condition that the curbing be located 12 feet from the existing property line on the east side of the property to allow for possible acquisition of additional right of way by the County. After additional discussion on the motion, all members voted in opposition. A now motion was then made by Bili Fair, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to grant the conditional use request and to defer the installation of the curbing along County Road 39 until occupancy of the building to allow Wright County Highway Department and the property owner time to iron out whether County Road 39 will actually need extra right of way. Thin would allow the developer time to establish whether the setback should be at the City's required 5 fest or whether the setback will have to be 12 feat should the County need additional right of way. 9. Consideration of Grantinq Final Approval of a Rapist of Existing Lots in an R-3 (Residontial/Multi-Family} Zona - Applicant, Daryl and Donald Hoikon. Daryl and Donald Hoikes recently purchased all of the remaining undeveloped Toto and blocks in the Macarlund Plaza Townhouse Addition. Thoy requested to roplat all of Blocks 3, 4, 5, and G, consisting of 30 individual lots for garages into throe now blocks consisting of 35 detached garage unit lots. The main purpose of the replotting is to align the garage units with the proposed townhouse units. The Council also discussed whether soma sort of landscaping should be required behind the garagos to shield the structures from County Road 75. The developers indicated no problem with installing shrubbery to provide a screening of the garage unite from the abutting roads. Motion won mado by Maxwo U , aoconded by Dlonigan, and unanimously carried to approve the replotting of Blocks 3-6 resulting in a total of 29 garago totu. t •3- 0 Council Minutes - 4/22/95 r # 10. Consideration of an Appeal to Overturn a Planning Commission e' Decision Denying a Request for a Variance to Allow a Garage to be Built Within the Front Setback Reouirements - Aoplicant, Doug Stokes. Mr. Doug Stokes originally applied for and was denied a variance to allow for the construction of a garage building within 10 feet of the front yard property line along East County Road 39. In addition to the 10 -foot setback requested, Mr. Stokes proposed to build a garage in excess of the 1000 sq. ft. limit act by City Ordinances. Also, City Ordinances do not allow for accessory buildings to be located in the front yard of any property. Mr. Doug Stokes noted that in August of 1982, he had received approval of a similar variance request allowing the garage to be built within 10 feet of the front yard property line, but this approval was no longer valid since it wasn't built within the one year requirement. In addition, he noted that the City has approved other accessory buildings over 1000 sq. ft. in other residential zoned property, and also other garages were allowed to be built closer than 10 toot to the property line, even on the lot lies. He noted that in his opinion, since his property is on the Mississippi River, he considers the area abutting County Road 39 as hie back yard and not the front yard (� as the City noted. After further discussion of the actual variances required, a motion was made by Fran Fair, ascended by Dill Fair, and unanimously carried to support the Planning Commission's denial of the variances. it was noted that if Mr. Stokes wished to revise his request and altor his proposals, he would have to reapply to the Planning Commission. 11. Presentation by O.^,M of Water Study and Upgrading Wall 01. The Consulting City Engineers recently prepared a preliminary water system analysis for the Council's review. Mr. Chuck Lopak of OSM reviewed with the Council come of the existing fire flow conditions throughout the City and noted that fire flows in the downtown area and the vont and of the City are presently adequate, but the Industrial park arae south of 1-94 and residential areas on the east and of the City are lacking in water pressure and gallons of flow. Mr. Lepak noted that by installing some 12 -inch water main along Cedar Street from the existing 2 wells to connect to a 12 -inch water main that goes to the reservoir in the industrial park, and with the conotruction of a now elevated tank either in tho industrial park area or on Monte Club Hill would provide adequate pressure and fire flow demands for the industrial park and the east and of the City. ki elevated tank on the Monte Club 11111 may oven provide too much pressure for some areas or the City, but they didn't feel that would be a problem in that pressure relief valves could be installed In -a- \.✓ Council Minutes - 4/22/85 certain individual homes or on certain main lines throughout the City to reduce pressure where needed. The Consulting Engineer recommended that an above -ground storage tank be considered on Monte Club Hill which would require acquiring land outside of the City limits and the necessary casements to got the water to this site. This alternative would be cheaper than constructing an elevated tank in the industrial park at a lower elevation. It was noted that along with an elevated tank, the City should consider constructing a new well near the present water reservoir in the industrial park and make some modifications to the existing wells to provide for more pumping capacity. The total estimated construction cost of a now well and pump house in the industrial park along with a half -million gallon above -ground storage tank on Monte 11111 with trunk water main improvements was estimated at approximately $1 million. In addition to this cost, approximately $25,000.00-530,000.00 would have to be spent on pump Improvements at the existing walla to make them compatible within the new system. Public Works Director, John Simola, noted that he has had discussions with Druce Gagnolius, owner of the Monte Club property, who seems receptive to the idea of the City placing its storage tank on his property. After further discussion on the water study recommendations, motion wan made by Maxwell, seconded by Blonigen, and unanimously carried to authorize the City staff to proceed with negotiations for acquiring land and necenoary easements at the Monte Hill site and to investigate the possible annexation of thio land into the City since it is now requiring City improvements. The City Engineer will be presenting a final water study report to the Council in the near future incorporating the ideas of the staff and Council. 12. Confirmation of Clooinq_Oataile for the Acquisition of the North Half of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 50. On March 25, 1985, the City Council authorized the City Attorney to perform a title search and pending clear title opinion, authorize the staff to make an offer for the acquisition of the north half of Loto 1, 2, and 3, Block 50, for the sum of $45,000.00 consisting of $30,000.00 acquisition price and $15,000.00 relocation price. City Attorney, Cary Pringlo, has recently reviewed the abstract on the property and has provided a clear title opinion on the land. A purchase agreement had boon prepared in the amount of 545,000.00 and accepted by the property owners. Lorral and Ruby lines. -5- Council Minutes - 4/22/85 The property in question currently lies within a Tax Increment '%,l Financing District established by the City for rehabilitation •� purposes, and the Monticello HRA will be aocioting the City in actively marketing for redevelopment. Motion was made by Bill Fair, seconded by Maxwell, and unanimously carried to reconfirm the offer of $45,000.00 to purchase the north half of Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 50. 13. Consideration of Award of Bid on Project 85-1 Interceptor Sewer. On Wednesday, April 17, 1985, the City received two bids for Project 85-1 consisting of installation of interceptor sewer line under Highway 25. The bids received were from La Tour Construction of Maple Lake in the amount of $65,813.00, and from ACG, Inc., of St. Paul, Minnesota, in the amount of 592,960.00. It was noted by the Public Works Director that although the low bid was approximately $15,000.00 higher than estimated, it didn't appear that the City would receive a lower bid in the future by rebidding the project with other work that may be needed and as a result recommended the low bid be accepted. Motion was made by Blonigen, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to award Project 85-1 to the low bidder, LaTour Construction of Maple Lake, in the amount of $65,813.00. l 14. Consideration of a Rocolution Authorizing the Submittal of a Preliminary Application for Loginlative Commission on Minnonota'o Resources Grant Funds. Recently, the City received notice that the State of Minnesota lion initiated a now grant program exclusively for the devolopmunt of athletic fields, including ooftball fields. The grant formula is a 50/50 matching program whereby the City contributes 501 of the development cost and 501 from a state grant up to $40,000.00 in grant funds. Since the City Council had recently approved upgrading the existing two ballfieldo on the NSP property and building a third field, it woo the ataff'o recommendation that the City Council authorize submitting an application for matching grant funds to help defray the coot of the proposed improvements. In tho process of reviewing the entire proposed project, the staff came across o now site that would accommodate a full four field davolopmont, including parking and amenities. Likowioo, the site would not require wall work and would not require the removal of a largo number _ of traos. * The site in question is the old Dick Brooks farm just adjacent to the NSP Training Center owned by NSP. NSP has indicated a willingness to loans the required 15 aeras of this property for the development of an ontiro now complex consisting of the four ballfioldo. Council Minutes - 4/22/85 i It was recommended by the City staff that even without state grant funds, the Council should consider relocating to this now site and eventually abandon the present softball fields near Montissippi Park. In regards to the Baseball Association's request for a baseball field, the Council directed the staff to consider designing one of the four proposed new ballfields to accommodate baseball play. After further discussion, motion was made by Bill Fair, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to authorize the City Administrator to submit a grant application for Lawcon/LCMR Athletic Field Facility Grant in the amount of $40,000.00, this being half of the estimated construction coat of 580,000.00. Soe Resolution 1985 p7. 15. Consideration of Granting a Seasonal 3.2 Beer license to the Monticello Softball Association. The Softball Association has again requested a 3.2 Beer License to sell at the softball fields. Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Maxwell, and unanimously carried to approve the issuance of a seasonal 3.2 Door License contingent upon receipt of all necessary documents, leoo, and insurance requirements. IG. Consideration of Ratifying Election Returns of Monticello Volunteer Fire Department Re-olacting Willard Farnick as Fire Chief. Motion wao made by Maxwell, soconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously carried to ratify the election of the Monticello Volunteer Fire Department reappointiny Mr. Willard Fornick as Piro Chief. 17.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Bids were opened Thursday, May 9, at 2:00 p.m. to consider the City Hall roof replacement. Out of a total of 18 plane and spec's that were picked up or sent out, we received a total of two bids. The first bid, which was the high bid, was from Patten Roofing Company to do the roof repair and the flashing, both Sectfone A & B, for a total of $43,385.00. The second bid, which was the low bid, came from Fullerton Lumber Company for $35,000.00 for the roof replacement and 51,160.00 for the flashing. As you will note, the bids are considerably over budget. we can do nothing with the bide, accept them, reject them, or a combination of all three. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Accept the low bid as presented from Fullerton Lumber Company for S35,000.00 under Bid A, and $1,160.00 under Bid B. 2. Reject all bids as submitted. 3. we can rojoct all bids except Bid B for $1,160.00, which would be for the shootmetal work. v 4.

Consideration of Authorizing the Mayor to Aj2proach the Town Board Concerning Certain Annexation, and Ordering Professional Consultants to Commence Annexation Investigation. (T.E.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: with the expiration of the original 10 -year agreement between the Township and the City, some discussions were initiated between the Mayor and the Chairman of the Town Board concerning the future course of the two entities. Various discussions were held involving legal counsel for both entities. Before any firm agreements or commitments could be established, City Attorney Gary Pringle wished to address the Council in its entirety to inform everyone of the history and the proposals. It became very evident in the research that the existing agreement contained several confusions which we wanted to address before entering any future commitments. Because of the Mayors scheduled vacation, the City Attorney's presentation wan delayed temporarily. Further, prior to the making of the presentation, the City Council went to deliberations with respect to the water study, and at your last meeting ordered City staff to initiate action for easements, land sites, and you included an amendment that City staff investigate the appropriate annexation. Now realizing that any annexation is a delicate subject, I have attempted to proceed cautiously and methodically. To data, I have reviewed the existing boundary lines and the existing Orderly Annexation Area. I have also asked OSM and Howard Dahlgren 6 Aaeociatoo to briefly review current conditions and suggest whether or not the time is appropriate for the City to begin investigating and negotiating for annexation. I have not authorized nor directed either of the consultants to begin boundary lino analyses or land use projections. I have asked them only to evaluate the current aituationo, and determine whether or not the actual investigation should begin. My initial reaction to my preliminary review is that investigation should include the entire OAA, and the conclusions may indicate that all or a majority of the OAA should be annexed. The OAA has shown substantial residential growth at scattered sites. Those residential subdivisions aro basically urban in nature and have boon carefully placed in the OAA to preserve the ag. land in tho remainder of the Township. In light of the water study and the anticipated expansion of public services, I think it is appropriate to begin the investigation of annoxable land. Further, as development continuos to occur on our fringes, and osouming that ovantually those parcels will be annexed, we should show special concern to the subdivision policies being utilized. To data, subdivisions have boon approved under tho auspices of the County Zoning Ordinance, which allow for certain design standards which is not the most beneficial for sorvico extension and sorvico delivery when and if they become part of tho City. -2- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 I think this fringe development is a crucial factor. There is also the long standing discussion on the Osowskl'a recreation area, which needs to be considered. I do not wish, at this time, to discuss the merits and demerits of that operation. To me, this entire issue centers on the word orderly. The entire area was designated in order to promote orderly growth that would make annexation orderly for both the City and the Township when that event came to pass. I think it is imperative that we stress to the Town Board as well as the public in general that the City is not interested in a land grab; but in order to promote orderly growth, certain decisions need to be made in the near future as to who will provide services and retain jurisdiction of certain areas. An orderly, regulated growth pattern is far easier and cheaper for everyone involved. I have approached the situation up to now by looking at the entire Orderly Annexation Area. As the analysis, investigation, and negotiations proceed, we may determine that only part of the area would be suitable for annexation. I do, however, think for planning purposes we should investigate the entire area and then reduce on a parcel by parcel basis rather than look at an annexation that is nothing more than citing specific spots that we wish to bring in for specific purposes. That is not conducive to orderly growth and development. For example, bocausa we are looking at the Monte Club hill for the water towar, we \ should not simply go out and cito a couple acres suitable for annexation in that specific area. Rather, we should investigate the surrounding areas and determine projected densities and whether or not those aro suitable for annexation areae. This method should bo utilized in evaluating the entire City and OAA. Ono other consideration, all be it minor, deals with a desire to have orderly, oymmotrical boundaries as boat as possible. Having clearly dofinod geometrical boundaries simply makes growth and orderly dovolopmont easier to accommodate. C� B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Direct the Mayor to request the question of annexation and subsequent invoatigation of the OAA be brought before the Orderly Annexation Board, with a roport to be returned to the City Council following said discussion. 2. The same as tho above but also adding that OSM and Dahlgron Associates begin preliminary investigations with respect to tho size and scope of any annexation discussions. 3. Direct the Mayor and staff to begin the investigation and annexation proceedings for the transfer of certain lands suitable to the wator extension proposals. -3- C Council Agenda - 5/13/85 A. Dispense with annexation all together, and initiate lease agreements for water reservoir placement outside of the City limits. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council authorize the Mayor to initiate discussions with the OAA Board and the Town Board, and further, to authorize our professional consultants to begin the analysis of the area to be considered. The reason I suggest we start the consultants on this matter as soon as possible is that the Town Board and their residents will have a substantial number of questions. If we are uncertain of the area that we are prepared to talk about, we cannot adequately answer their questions or respond to their statements. In talking with OSM and Dahlgren, we felt it might be most benficial if John Badalich, Howard Dahlgren and John Uban, myself and one or more members of the Council, the County Zoning Administrator, and conceivably a member of the Town Board all sit together for approximately a half day to brainstorm and make soma dotorminationa relative to which areae of the OAA would be most conducive to more in-depth study. Utilizing the basic hourly rates provided for in our contracts, OSM'e charge would be in the $300 range and Dahlgron's fee would be epproximately�'7CO'� D.

As more and more development occurs on the outskirts of Monticello, controlled by different rural -type standards of the County, a certain disparity of costs of services and benefits will occur. Once areas are developed in a rural housing standard, it becomes difficult and expensive to retrofit these areas with the urban service system now available in Monticello. Before significant development occurs, plans for future growth must be made allowing for the orderly annexation of peripheral territories. We can work with the City of Monticello and the Town Board to develop the actual annexation plan and supportive documenta- tion. A cooperative endeavor now is much preferred to a future condition of severe disparities and costly remedies. We offer our continued assistance and expertise in guiding the growth of your community. Should you have any questions or wish further comment on the topic of annexation, we would be more than happy to meet with you. Sin erely, i !2t 'CGS l� OW ard Dahlgren President C. John Uban, ASLA Vice President cc : Tom l3idemr 6D Council Agenda - 5/13/85 l ' 6. Consideration of Change Order No. 3 on the County Road 75 Project. (J.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: With the construction of the County Road 75 project, approximately 16 manholes were to be removed during construction and reset in concrete after the second lift of bituminous surface was placed. In discussions with the contractor, it was brought out that the concrete may not be needed on Broadway because there are no excessive utility excavations, and it may be difficult to ro-adjust any manholes at a later date because of the concrete. In addition, many of the castings on Broadway were found to be of odd sizes and in poor condition. Some of the covers rattled when traffic drove over them, thereby waking up nearby residents. As an alternate, we approached the contractor with the possibility of installing the new Neenah adjustable casting on the 16 manholes. The cost of the castings is approximately $200.00 apiece. The contractor indicated he would install these castings for only an additional 575.00 each in lieu of using the old castings with the concrete. The City of Monticello would also than receive the salvage value of the old castings. These now covers allow for approximately a 35 -inch adjustment. Therefore, should one of the manhole covers and up low or high, one merely has to turn four lubricated stainless steal adjusting �J bolts to raise the casting up or down independent of the bituminous surface surrounding it. If in a few years the street receives a thin overlay, one merely has to adjust the castings with a wrench rather than go through the trouble of jack hammering out the castings to raise them and install concrete rings under them. During the actual removal of the existing manhole castings, we found three additional castings not on the plans, making a total of 19 coatings. This would bring the total coot of o proposed Change Order to $1,425.00. Since the County does not participate in the manholes and/or adjustment, this cost would be borno by the City. D. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Alternative #1 would be to install the 19 now adjustable castings from Neenah Foundary at a coot of $75.00 each. 2. The second alternative would be to leave the old castings as they are and cast them in concrete as shown on the plans and specifications. C, 5M Council Agenda - 5/13/85 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public works Director that you authorize Change order No. 3 in the amount of $1,425.00 for 19 new castings as outlined in Alternative #I. D.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: with the 77-3 Improvement Project, the City of Monticello, in preparation for the connection of the Chestnut Street lift station to the interceptor sewer, installed a 10 -inch force main from the intersection of 6th and Elm north and west to the intersection of Third and Chestnut Street. At this point, the force main terminated into ditch of platted Chestnut Street between Third and Broadway. The original plan was to install the remaining section of force main with the improvements to Chestnut Street in the future. Two items of concern have brought the construction of another section of this force main to a higher priority. The City of Monticello last year offered a portion of Chestnut Street to the nearby resident, Paul Lutzke, thereby inferring that Chestnut S treat between Broadway and Third Street would never become a through street. In addition, the County Road 75/Broadway projoct is going to involve the removal and replacement of the pavement in the area which Chestnut Street c roeaes Broadway. This area is extremely congested with other utilities. Currentiy, there is an existing storm sewer with manholos and loads crossing l the intersection. we have two sanitary sowers in the area, one on the north aide of Broadway and one on the south aide of Broadway. A water main croacco north and south and coat and west through this area, as wall as two gas mains. what this moans is that running the force main through this intersection will be like threading the eye of a noodlo. It will take a significant amount of expertise as wall as exroo to accomplish this construction. Since the interceptor sewer is planned for tho near future, thio link of force main io badly needed. It would be a ahamo to dig up the entire intersection, removing all tho now blacktop In the next few years, to install this force main. It is the opinion of the Public works Director that we now install the force main from Third Street to a point crooning Broadway prior to the installation of the now pavement by Buffalo Bituminous. L have approached Tod La Tour from Maple Lake about this typo of construction. Tod -o firm has a significant amount of expertise with tight quarters in utility construction. I reviewed the project with Tad and Chuck Lepak from OSM. Based upon our field inapoctiono, Tod gave me a prico of $4,860.00 for the installation of this oaction of force main terminating on the north aide of Broadway. This bid vas for equipment -7- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 and labor and Class 5 only. I obtained a second quote for the materials from American Pipe in Savage, Minnesota, and Davie Water Equipment in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The cost of the materials, the pipe including the fittings and retainer glands would be $4,924.11 delivered to Monticello. This makes the total cost of the project $9,784.11. Because the time element is critical, I asked Mr. LaTour if he would be available to do the work immediately. He indicated that he would like to do the work when he is doing the portion of the interceptor sewer crossing Highway 25 or a sewer and water project for Curt Hoglund on the east end of town, but that if the time element is critical, he would move on the site with a two or three day notice. I expect that by the time you receive this agenda that the pavement will be removed completely from County Road 75 on the north lanes, therefore making the time element critical. I discussed this project with the most affected property owner, Mr. Gus Hammer, on the west aide of Chestnut Street at Broadway. Mr. Hammer had no objections to the proposed project but would like to see the area properly restored after completion of the pipe installation. I assured him that the area would be restored. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Alternative 01 would be to award the construction of the small section of force main to Ted LaTour Construction of Maple Lake in the amount of $4,660.00 and authorize the purchase of the materials as outlined above. There is an excess of $30,000.00 loft in the interceptor budget for this installation. 2. Alternative 02 would be to wait until the reconstruction of Chestnut Street and/or the installation of the interceptor to complete thio section of force main. This would involve the complete removal of a major portion of the now blacktop surface in the intersection, and I don't believe it would be in the boat interest of the City. C. STAPP RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public works Director that this portion of the force main be constructed at thio time. The force main will then be complete to the north aide of Broadway. No further digging will be necessary between Chestnut Street and Broadway, and we will save the coot of entirely now pavement throughout the intersection of Broadway at a later data as wall on all the bonding coats, engineering fees, inspection foes, and other indirect coats associated with a larger project. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Nona. -B- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 L B. Consideration of Authorizing Increasing Payment to Corrow Sanitation to Offset New Landfill Taxes. (T.E.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Several months ago, anticipating the implementation of state and county landfill taxes, Corrow Sanitation approached us about a rate increase to offset the cost of the landfill tax. The current landfill tax is 904t per cubic yard for municipal refuse, and must be paid by the hauler to the landfill. This amount is, of course, an amount that was not computed at the time the contract was bid and awarded. I do think that it is fair and equitable to authorize a fee increase to accommodate the extra expense generated by state and county legal action. The main problem involved for Monticello with respect to the tax is the extra revenue paid out of the municipal budget. We are one of the few cities in the state of Minnesota that provides free garbage pick up to the residents, i.a., the contract is paid for through ad valorem tax rather than through service charge. In communities where service chargee are used, the now landfill tax would simply be tacked on and pushed right through to the user. For Monticello, it moans generating the revenue out of additional tax dollars in the future, and paying L the extra amount out of surpluses at this time. Whether or not we wish to ever investigate service charges for oven a portion of refuse pick up is an issue that should be debated independent of this question today. The most difficult part of determining the amounts that would adequately reimburse for out-of-pocket expense is trying to determine how much refuse has been hauled and dumped from Monticello. Corrow Sanitation has indicated that in certain communities rather than computo yardage, they have simply tacked on $1.00 par month to each household for pick up. For Monticello, that would mean an increase of approximately 81,250 per month. The underlying assumption hero is that a oinglo household over the eight pick up days provided in a month would generate one cubic yard of refuse. Extended out, that would represent 12 cubic yards of refuse produced by a single household in a years time. Further, based on a dollar a month incroaso, the 90C would go to the landfill tax, while IOC would go to additional administrative duties required to collect and distribute the tax. while that all aounda reasonable, I contacted the Minnesota Waste Management Board. Mr. Kirk Rosenberger of the waste Managomont Board Staff reported that the "Planning Guido for Solid Wasto Management" report indicates that the average family of four generates 1 ton of refuse par year. For their purposes, the Waste Management Board tranalatoo 1 ton into d cubic yards. if the average family of four only generates C cubic yards par yoar, we aro looking at roughly 1/3 of the figures assumed under the dollar par month -9- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 formula. Granted, our 1,244 households are not all families of four, but we frequently use statewide and national averages to make determinations of service levels. For instance, we often use 100 gallons per day per household when we talk about sewer extensions and loadings into our plant. I am also informed by Mr. Rosenberger that this is an annual average and takes into account seasonal fluctuations of heavy and light loading. I have asked Corrow Sanitation to provide me with copies of their annual tipping logs from the landfills where Monticello refuse is taken. If we can determine, based on their total tipping over a years time, a monthly average of total trips to landfills, we can then determine the total number of yards going out of Monticello. Based on that yardage, we can then apply the landfill tax that is appropriate and determine what an appropriate amount is. If Corrow cannot produce the log sheets for us, I suggest we look at adding 35-404 per month par household based on the waoto Management Board average, or that we inform Corrow that a decision will be postponed, and no payment mddu, until we receive their tipping loge and can make a more accurate determination. I think it is important to emphasize to Corrow that we are not trying to negotiate downward some figure they have rightfully coming. I simply think that the City should pay additional moniee that accurately reflects the additional coat incurred by Corrow. I have absolutely no difficulty with providing the extra moniee to Corrow to accommodate for this now tax, but I do not think that monies beyond what is actually being spent on the tax should be taken out of the taxpayers pocket at this point. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Offer 35-40t per household per month based on today -s household count. Thio amount raflocto 5-104 more than the strict 1/3 of the 906. Thin amount is booed on the notion that the average family of four in Minnesota generates 4 cubic yards annually. 2. Accept Corrow-a proposal to grant $1.00 per month per household. This moans approximately $1,250 par month, extended annually to an amount of $15,000.00. 3. If the loge aro presented to me in time to review and arrive at a figuro, this altarnativa would be to grant an increase par household par month basad on actual tipping records. This amount cannot be datorminod until I actually coo the records. 4. If the records are not submitted, postpone the authorization of any extra payment until the records aro procantod for C; review. -10- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 5. This alternative is primarily an either/or situation. Assuming that the records have not been made available, we could indicate to Corrov that we are prepared to pay the 35-40t per month per household and will bypass the log review; or if that is unsatisfactory to them, they should bring in their loge. This alternative tends to put the choice in their lap such that they can either accept the offer or the burden of proof is on them to prove they deserve to receive more. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I think it's in the beet interest of both Corrov Sanitation and the City to have an opportunity to review those tipping logs. we may, in fact, find that Monticello is an aberration from the state average and that $1.00 per month will be the cost. I would feel much more satisfied to find that evidence in the tipping loge than to simply do it blindly. If they simply are not willing to reveal their loge, than I recommend we offer them 35t par month per household. That amounts to $437.50 per month extended to 55,250.00 per year. D. SUPPORTING DATA: There is no supporting data for this item. i Any tipping log information that may follow will be provided prior to the mooting for your review. 3: Council Agenda - 5/13/85 9. Consideration of Authorizing the Acquisition of a New Photocopying Machine for City Hall. (T.E.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Six yearsago, in June of 1979, the City purchased outright the Savin 770 copier that we currently have for $5,050.00. For about the past two years, the Sevin copier has been serviced at least twice a month. In the 1985 budget, I allocated an even $10,000.00 for copier replacement. The state of the art of copiers today provides substantially more flexibility in copying. For instance, lately we have been making several trips to Monticello Printing to do reductions and/or enlargements of specific items for Council agendas, grant applications, and even our proposal to the Scandinavian Transport Products. Not only do we pay for the copy cost to Monticello Printing, we lose staff time by having to make several rune over there. The machine we currently have copies originals as is. We can produce two aided copies by manually reloading the paper cassettes. In preparing this year's budget, I spent a great deal of time reviewing the technological changes that have occurred in recent years with respect to copy machines. The machine that I am suggesting we acquire has an automatic document feeder so that multi -page documents can be simply put into the machine and will copy without someone being there to attend to it. The now machine also has a 15 -bin sorter no that if 15 copies aro required, they coma out already sortod and assembled, ready to be stapled, rather than requiring the staff person to make 15 copies of each page and than hand collate them. The machine that I am proposing has automatic duploxing, which simply means that it will automatically copy on two aides of a page without having to manually reload the machine. The proposed machino has six pro-ostabliohad reductions and three pro-oatabliahod enlargement modes, and also has a zoom lono for other adjustments. It does not print on color, but we do not fool it is essential to print color. The paper cassettes can accommodate sizes from note cards to computer printout shoots. It can automatically taka irregularly sized shoots of paper and print all to a uniform sizo, any 84 x 11. While any now copy machine would be batter than the one we aro using. I think that a machine with this Laval of technology will save a substantial amount of time in City Hall. Currently, Karan spends nearly all day Friday copying and assembling agenda oupplamonta for Council meetings. When the agenda needs to be prepared for the Planning Commission, this further complicates her work load. All of this effort expanded on Fridays presupposes that all information is secured and has boon presented for original typing prior to that time. On occasion, lots arriving data in oubmittod to the Council separate from tho root of the agenda materials, and I roalizo this can create an inconvenience. C 11 -12- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 Having a good quality copy machine will not automatically eliminate late arrivals, but I would hope it would substantially reduce that and allow the assembly and production of agenda materials to be put out with much greater efficiency. Monticello currently owns the Savin 770, having bought it outright. If you will note on the data sheet, it has virtually no value at this time. Even as a trade-in, the most we can get is $800.00. To sell it outright, we would not get that much because the machine is virtually obsolete, even though it is only six years old. Similarly, the copy quality is not particularly satisfying. In the past, machines such as copiers I have always recommended leasing or renting. The flexibility afforded under a lease or rental agreement allows the City to stay with changes in the state of the art technology. Once we own a machine, we are virtually stuck with it since its resole value is substantially reduced as the technology changes. Under a lease/rent agreement, if we find that additional technological changes would be beneficial to the City, we can simply renegotiate a now agreement and exchange machines, thereby giving the City the equipment they can more readily use. Because as a government, our acquisition of capital equipment provides no tax benefits, otc., I sea no long range benefit in buying it outright. Obviously, under the terms of a lease or rental at the and of five or six years, we have, in fact, paid out more dollars, but we are no longer stuck with a virtually worthless assat/piece of equipment. Ona added benefit to the leaeo/rent arrangement is that if for come reason the machine should become inoperable, we simply call our distributor and request a replacement machine to use until our machine is repaired. In an ownorship case, should our machine become damaged to a point where it is put out of service completely, we aro simply without copying service until it -s repaired and running. My preference is definitely toward the lease or rental arrangement. The two copy machines I have evaluated to data aro the Savin 7035 and the Ricoh 5070. The Sevin machine is built by Ricoh and is the 5070 model, but it in sold to Savin for their labeling and distributed under their label. Consequently, we ars looking at the identical machine. The Savin modal Is being marketed by Marco Buoin000 Products of St. Cloud, who currently services our machine and from whom we bought our last copier and our moot recent typewriters. The Ricoh in marketed by Metro Sales of Minneapolis. Ricoh citoa NSP as one of its product references in that betwoon Shorco and the nuclear plant there aro come 40-50 machines in operation in the Monticello area. They also cito the high number of machines in the Monticello area no guaranteeing quick service response time. (Editorial note: The salesman for Metro Salon is Prank Sawatzko, con of Darlene Sawatzko of the Town Board.) Both machines provide government pricing, which in shown on the data sheet attached. The price range, an you will coo, is vary close. -13- (y Council Agenda - 5/13/85 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Do not approve acquisition of a new copy machine. 2. Approve outright acquisition of a now copy machine. 3. Approve lease agreement for new copy machine. 4. Approve rent agreement for new copy machine. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is that Council approve acquiring a new copy machine under a lease agreement or rent agreement. At this point. I'm not prepared to recommend which machine is better or more suitable because I intend to continue negotiating and haggling for the beat price right up until Monday afternoon. The advantages and disadvantages will be weighed, and I fully anticipate being prepared to recommend a specific machine by Monday night. Similarly, I'm favoring the lease or rent agreement, but have not yet determined which is the most beneficial in terms of both flexibility and price. Whichever turns out to be the most effective for the City, I do favor the lease or rent over the outright purchase. D.

Review of let Quarter Liquor Financial Statements. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mark Irmiter, Manager, will be present at Monday's meeting to review with the Council the let Quarter Comparative Financial Statements for the Liquor Store operations. Total sales and the resulting gross profit are down a little over the first three months of 1984. A small sales decline was expected due to the loss of maintenance personnel at NSP during the outage. The overall general operating expenses are in line with last year's, except for maintenance of equipment. The majority of this line Item expense is a yearly maintenance contract on the (2) new cash registers. No action is necessary other than review. D.

Trimester Report - Administration. (T.E.) Considering that normally a quarterly report covers three months and this report is covering four months, I have declared this a trimester staff report. Much as we did at the and of the year, I have asked Department Heads to provide you with a statement of highlights for the last quarter. Considering the time of year that it is, a good share of my time has been spent involved with the state legislature and lobbying for issues of concern to cities. In February, the League of Cities held its Legislative Action Conference, which Rick and I attended, and at which the League establishes its official policies for lobbying during the session. As everyone is aware, tax proposals are of the utmost concern in the legislature, and included with that package are many discussions of local government aid formula changes. with respect to local government aid, the City of Monticello is in a difficult lobbying position. With our extraordinary tax base, we do not benefit from any of the formulas being proposed. It has been my major concern to protect what we already have through local government aid. The position I have maintained throughout my lobbying efforts has boon that whatever formula is initiated, no city ohall be reduced below the level of the local government aid of the previous year. There aro only a few cities who aro in a position to conceivably lose money under a change in formula, but I do fool fairly confidant that our base level will be protected in whatever formula is established. Also with respect to the state legislature, the Star City sign along an Interstate has boon approved and signed by the Governor. Arvo initiated this bill with Adkins and McEacharn, and I intend to write them a thank -you latter for their carrying the bill. It might be appropriate for you to alao Bond a thank -you note since legislators rarely receive acknowledgement for the good they do, not unlike City officials. with respect to that bill, I did attend the Transportation Committee meeting for the House of Representatives and testified on behalf of Monticello and the hill. Other key legislation that I've boon watching has boon the waffling of the Gambling Control Board Statuto, continued legislation affecting comparable worth in the state. Township/City powers, bills, a bill requiring cities to pay all bills within 30 days of racaipt, and IRB and Tax Increment Financing proposals. On the federal level, I have stayed moat informed with respect to budget deficit proposals, almost all of which reflect severe cuts or elimination in Federal Rovonua Sharing. There is a major lobbying effort in the National League of Cities to protect revenue sharing at its currant funding level. The funding for Revenue Sharing has not boon increased since 1978. The currant entitlement is scheduled to end in September of 1988; however, the President and his Administration are recommending elimination after September of 1985. The entire 10 C Council Agenda - 5/13/85 thrust of the Administration's proposal to eliminate Revenue Sharing is that cities are now all fiscally sound and wealthy, therefore having no need for Federal Revenue Sharing funds. The City's position is that while finances are improving, in no way can cities be said to be affluent, and further, Revenue Sharing has been one of the most effective programs in getting federal tax dollars back to the local community to be used in the best judgement of local officials. Monticello, I think, is one of the finest examples of utilizing Revenue Sharing to the advantage of the residents. I encourage you to drop a note to your senators and representatives requesting them to oppose bills to eliminate Revenue Sharing. On the local level with respect to laws and legislation, we are nearly ready for the first hearing on the zoning ordinance and zoning map. The text of the zoning ordinance is virtually complete but needs typing. In order to facilitate ease of reproduction, alterations, and review, we attempt to schedule time on the Bondhus word processor for Karen to type. The entire ordinance then is hold on disc and can be easily amended as we go through the hearing process. The preliminary zoning map is complete and will be published within the next two weeks, setting a time for the first hearing. My intention is to publish the existing map and the proposed map informing parsons to locate their property D and determine if a zoning change has occurred that they wish to address. The hearing, as I envision it, will be an administrative hearing collecting testimony and comment on the proposed map. The testimony and comment then will be used to make any revisions that may become apparent. The hearing is not intended to be a debate session for varying conflicting parties. After otaff reviews the comments and testimony from tho first hearing and weighs the merit, they will make final adjustments to the map and ordinance proper. I hope than to hold a second hearing to present the final document. At the conclusion of those hearings, I would like to hold a concurrent session with the Planning Commission and the Council for final enactment. Once enacted, we will go to the final printing of both the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the related maps. In the broad area of community development, we have dealt with a number of varied issues. Very recently, we have complotod the Construction 5 Subdivision and the Poware/Kjollborg replat. Construction should occur in those areas within the near future. In the last month, we submitted a formal proposal to Scandinavian Transport Products of Oalo, Norway. It is our understanding they will be in the U.S. in the near future to discuss our proposal. Also related to that proposal it should be known that there aro only two cities, at this time, still in competition for the siting of the STP Greenhouse project. The other City is Haotingo. Ma Council Agenda - 5/13/85 On May 6, I completed hand delivery of the Parks and Recreation Grant Application for a total amount of $80,000.00. We anticipate notification sometime in the month of August. In the mid -winter months, we hold a joint meeting with several property owners affected by the extension of Country Club Road from the mall area to Country Club Addition. A number of concerns were addressed, and another road alignment was established. I have received the new alignment and anticipate having another joint meeting with all affected property owners within the next 2-3 weeks. Also fresh in everyone's memory is the acquisition of the Hass property behind the Post Office. There is some discussion with K 6 H Auto concerning their relocation and with the Post Office for expansion. Recently, the Postmaster did say that they did not anticipate requiring the land for expansion in the immediate future and would like to look at possible lease arrangements. with respect to that, I indicated that we did not have control of the entire corner as yet but that we would listen to proposals in order to make a determination on what course to follow. If leasing to the Post Office does not seem beneficial, I think it would be appropriate to eventually turn the land over to the HRA so that they may attempt to market it for downtown commercial development. Also under community development falls the Fire Hall project. The final spoc's and plans have boon issued, and bids aro anticipated the middle of May. Land clearing of the site is underway. We have oloo completed the land exchange with MN/DOT that ralatoa to East Bridge Park and our acquisition of the Saxon property to the east. We anticipate receiving the $55,000.00 check vary soon. The downtown rehabilitation study is in the hands of Dahlgran and Associates and should be back for Council review near the and of May. In conjunction with that study. I have requested NSP to assemble ballpark estimates for the relocation of certain power lines underground. All of those figures will be utilized to make a determination with respect to the extant of rehabilitation in the downtown. Within the next ton days. I hope to make contact with the owners of the church building on 4th Street to begin negotiations on acquisition and Senior Center relocation. In other various typos of issues. I will begin distributing budget workohoots for the 1986 Budget within the next 30 days. Rick and I have made a number of vlaito to receive computer damonotrationa and are in the process of formulating a request for proposals. The brand now Employee Performance Evaluation System is completed. The only itom that remains is to toach all Department Heads and evaluators how to use it fairly and consistently. In February, I wan appointed by Joan Anderson Grows, Secretary of State, to serve on the Secretary of Stato'o took force on punch card voting systems. It seems that some jurisdictions -3. Council Agenda — 5/13/85 (not Monticello) had difficult with their y computer programa in the last election. Consequently, the Secretary of State's office wishes to investigate how these problems can be eliminated. The task force has had one meeting in late April, and will resume meeting in June after the legislature has adjourned. It is anticipated that this task force will meet once, perhaps twice, per month through the end of 1985. A Council Agenda - 5/13/85 10. Quarterly Update - Finance. (R. W.) As of 3/31/85, the City of Monticello has Cash 6 Investments totaling approximately $2,100,000.00, with $2 million invested in various C. D.'s and other instruments with Wright County State Bank, First National Bank of Monticello, Security Federal Savings s Loan Association, and First Bank Minneapolis. We have seen interest rates drop to the 8-9% level of return compared to the 108 and over of last year at this time. Approximately two-thirds of the City's cash reserves belong to our Bond (debt) Funds and are earmarked for payment of future debt. The Annual City Audit for year 1984 has recently been completed by Gruys, Johnson 6 Associates, and is in the final printing stage. The audit will be reviewed at an upcoming Council meeting in late May or early June, and will be distributed to all Council members two weeks prior to the meeting. Attached you will find a Revenue S Exponao Statement for all City funds through 3/31/85. Total expenditures through March totaled $1,400,000.00, with revenue of $938,000.00, of which $843,000.00 being Bond proceeds for the now Fire Hall. The low revenues for this time period is common, as the City receives the majority of its revenue from taxes, half each in July and December of each year.

Council Agenda - 5/13/85 10. Quarterly Report - Public Works Department. (J.S.) I can describe the first quarter of 1985 as busy for the Public Works Department. The term for the second quarter is busier. Every area of the Public Works sector in the City of Monticello is involved in some type of undertaking or project this year. The Wastewater Treatment Plant personnel are busy hauling sludge in order to alleviate the constipation problem at the Treatment Plant, and also to aid in inspection of some of the digesters which we suspect problems with. We are also struggling with the odor control problems at the WWTP in an attempt to rectify these problems this year. The Water Department had originally scheduled hydrant flushing for the next week. However, the County Road 75 project removed access to a major number of the gate valves in the water system, so the flushing will have to be delayed a couple of weeks. We are actively pursuing the data gathering for the proposed water main additions and the now above -ground reservoir on top of the Monte hill. In addition, in the next month or so we will begin contacting the property owners along the Burlington Northern Railroad between Washington Street and Highway 25 concerning easements for the proposed now interceptor cower. With the telephone company doing a lot of repairs this year in the street, and Rita Cable Company digging holes all over town, we'll probably sot a record this year for excavation permits issued. Each one of those excavations requires inspection and the permit to be filled out. In the Street Department, we are assisting the State of Minnesota with their designs for Highway 25, as wall as working with Buffalo Bituminous and the County on the Broadway/County Road 75 project. It appears right now that the detour on Highway 25 for the interceptor sower will be done right aftor Memorial Day, probably prior to the complotion of the Broadway project. A detour in that aroo is oxpectod to be as long an 10-14 days. The Fire Hall site Is wall underway to being demolished. Many of the tank pado have boon demolished, and the major demolition on the building will start on Monday. We expect to have tho PCA out here somotimo next weak to observe excavations for the polluted materials. In the Park Departmont, we aro actively working on Par Wont Park trying to complete the work that wau postponed loot year. In addition, the Country Club Park playground equipment will be installed this year. We aro in the process of drafting coma specifications in order to obtain come bids for mowing the Hilloido Cemetery and the NSP Ballfiolds. We will bring this cost information C, to tho Council at a later data. The compacting projact should -6- C Council Agenda - 5/13/85 be brought before the Council again at the second meeting in May for approval of the costs involved. The Public Works Department is currently planning the 1985 sealcoating project. This will be brought before the Council either on the May 27 meeting or the June 10 meeting. In the area of storm drainage, we have a couple of small projects going on. In the next three weeks we will be trying to straighten out a drainage swale between Par West Park and the Anders Wilhelm property. This problem has existed back there for many years. In addition, we will be putting the control drainage structure on Prairie Road between The Meadows pond and the Balboul Estates pond for the purposes of being able to drain the Balboul Estates pond down for maintenance and clean up work. These are just some of the major tasks that will be undertaken in the next quarter. It would be nice if the next quarter were 9 months long. It appears to be a very, very busy summer for the City of Monticello Public Works Department. -7. Council Agenda - 5/13/85 10. Quarterly Report (1/1/85-3/31/85) - Building Inspection. (G.A.) Construction activity started to increase after we got past February and into March. We are seeing an increase in the actual building activity. As you will note in the monthly building department report as submitted last month ending March 31, 1985, we are down in total construction and down in total permits issued. The reason for this is that we had a lot of late fall starts and early winter starts where permits were actually issued in 1984 and construction continued on through the winter months up to March 31, 1985. Traditionally the period in the first quarter is usually slower in activity due to the weather conditions of winter and early spring. As we go into the second quarter, wo'll see increased building activity as the weather becomes more suitable for building. Quarterly Report (1/1/85-3/31/85) - Planning 6 Zoning. (G.A.) In the Planning Department we are working on the zoning aspect of the Comprehensive Plan. As of the first quarter, we are still in the process of working on the proposed changes to our Zoning Ordinance. In the Zoning Department, we are seeing an unusual amount of zoning activity, variances and conditional use requests, for so early in the season. We have a lot of developers looking for multiple zoning sites for apartment buildings, averaging at least one per week to the present. Quartorly Report (1/1/85-3/31/85) - City Asoccaing. (G.A.) The 1985 assessment, payable in 1986, has boon in during this quarter for processing to establish the now taxes payable on the now valuations as submitted. For the 1985 assessment, we have soon a lot of now construction being added to our tax rolls and soma increased land valuations which were offset by more depreciation on the houses in certain areas. As we were getting to the and of this quarter, we otartad to coo the actual tax statements come out. There have boon very little, if any, complaints or input from the public with the now valuations that were eat. Quarterly Report (1/1/85-3/31/85) - Civil Defense. (G.A.) Within the first quarter, we did coo the Monticello Nuclear Plant back in operation which relieved the Ice jam build up on the river and produced a batter flowage of the water through the City of Monticello. Also in this quarter, we aro submitting a request for the money which you approved to purchase additional radios for our Public Works Department through our NSP funding grant. A copy of that proposed submittal will be attached. Also, we have submitted a now request for additional .funding for additional radios, additional equipment, and for additional actual oxorciacs that we will be experiencing this year. A copy of that request will be submitted with this report also. U -D I may: HAMN' R (County ur SLutu 4uvunum;ntn).

The last three months have seen a lot of activity taking place In Monticello. Some of this activity can be directly attributable to this department and its activities, while other activity only indirectly, and still other activity would have resulted regardless of our efforts. There is discussion taking place now that may result in activity at a later date. An example Is that of National Bushing. I have been working with them for the past year in locating a site to expand and relocate their store. To date, several sites were looked at, but rejected because the land cost was too high, the land was unbuildable or unattainable. My last discussions ended with National Bushing choosing throe alternative sites. Each of these locations would be subject to certain events taking place. Each site would utilize tax increment financing and would be classified as a redevelopment district. The target date for construction is now spring of 1986. Originally they had planned on this summer; but when the Highway 25 construction vas delayed, they postponed their construction until 1986 to coincide with the Highway 25 project. Mother project that has boon in a discussion stage for at least the last year is the (STP) "Greenhouse" project. As you may already know. STP, better known as Scandinavian Transport Products, is a group from Norway that would like to start a clearinghouse for Norwegian companies and help them enter the U.S. marketplace. Originally, some 25 Minnesota cities were said to have been considered for the project. As of March, 1985, Monticallo's Industrial Development Committee coerced the Minnesota Department of Energy and Economic Development (Mark Dayton's Office) to move forward in helping STP develop its project in Monticello. As a result, a meeting was scheduled and two cities, Monticello and Hastings, considered to be possible sites wore given some ground rules. Our staff know more details about the "Greenhouse' project than did Dayton's office, and certainly far more than Hastings. As a result of the meeting, both cities were to prepare proposals for the project and submit to the State by April 15, 1985. Our proposal was based on finding five contractors from the area that would be interested in building, owning, and leasing space to STP. Our intent was to find contractors that would provide vary competitive, if not below, market lease payments. The total cost of constructing a 50,000 sq. ft. building ranged from 81,050,000.00 to 81,650,000.00, with lease payments ranging from 82.80/ep. ft. to 84.40/sQ. ft. we found this part of the proposal to be similar in form to that of Hastings' proposal. .9. Council Agenda - 5/13/85 The major difference in our proposal was in the extras that we could offer. I will only describe the main advantages in order to be as brief as possible. Having a Mayor who is a native of Norway is a tremendous advantage. That relationship opened doors that even former Speaker of the House, Harry Wieben, perhaps cannot overcome. Another important advantage we have that few cities have is a network of direct mail, international marketing and food processing marketing/distribution systems. Fulfillment Systems, Inc., Wrightco, Inc., and Bondhus Corporation's International Marketing Facilitators (IMF) have all agreed to lend their expertise to the STP project. We feel this type of service is a must for the success of such a project. Representatives from Norway will be in Minnesota during May and have been asked to attend our Industrial Development Banquet. we anticipate meeting with STP during their visit to refine our proposal and perhaps convince them that Monticello is the choice for the "Greenhouse." One final word an the STP project. Sinco our original proposal was submitted, I have mot with two local firms who are interested in constructing a building and/or a group of buildings to house the greenhouse. It is oven possible to got those firms involved later in the relocation efforts. �. FSI hoe made a successful transition from their previous operations to the now facility. Even though it is not yot a year old, they have outgrown the facility and aro in the planning stages for expansion. This is to be considered confidential, but plane aro underway for expansion during the next 1-3 years. You will have boon contacted prior to this meeting in regard to their plane. I have mot with IXI about their plane for future expansion. After hearing of the permanent layoffs, we were skeptical about their completion of the complex. IXI sources told me that part of the layoff was duo to the young and inexperienced personnel practices that were used, as wall as a weeding out of undesirables. The other reason was duo in part to mechanization doing more work and needing fewer manual workers. wanting to got a fool for IXI-s plane, I asked them if completion of the last seven buildings during 1985/86 was possible. They asked for a proposal, time fromo, and projections for tax increment financing, etc. In preparing this proposal. I assumed a portion to be completed in 1985 and the remaining to be completed in 1986. IXI is considering the proposal and also entertaining the concept of loaning some of the space to STP and/or other firms. This may bo a moans of (jotting a typo of opoculativo building for industrial purposes. -10- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 We have worked on two other proposals that are significant during the last two months. One concerns the Best in Webb Company. As you know, they have been purchased by a large printing company headed by the Beddor family. This family owns several large businesses involved in the printing industry. It seems they wanted to enter the type of market that Beat in Webb was in. They began by purchasing the Beat in Webb business. Their plans are to greatly expand the facilities. They needed a 70,000 sq. ft. building to lease that contained an option to buy. We found three contractors that were willing to build, own, and lease back the space for under 53.00/sq. ft. When we were told that space was available in the motro area for under 52.00/sq.ft., we were dumbfounded. we felt the project was completely lost. However, sources tell me that we may still have an outside shot at the project. We also made a proposal to the Minnesota Farm Bureau for relocating their corporate offices to Monticello. Upon making the presentation, they made public their interest to soil their existing building. They have stated that Monticello is the only outstate city even considered for relocation. At this point, a Thomas Park site seems to be the bast location, as they need a smaller (1-2 acres) piece of property with freeway exposure. A proposal for expansion/rolocation to Monticello has been made to J Craft, Inc. This is the firm that became involved in the installation of the truck body for our now International truck. J Craft wan looking at various locations in Central Minnesota, but indicated that Monticello wan a progressive community and much more prepared than other cities. During the process, there were some problems in getting the right body and hoist installed on the truck, and J Craft -a salesman threatened to take legal action against the City and stated that there was no way they would move to Monticello. I have not spoken to the owner of tho buninana since but am lotting the problem cool down and will contact the owner one last time in an attempt to consider Monticello. Northern Insulation, a manufacturer of paper blown insulation, is considering us as a site to axpand/rolocato one of its manufacturing concerns. Presently, they aro loaning space in Elk River. Sovoral problems in the Elk River facility prompted the owner to look for coat caving measures. Ono of those measures in cheaper electrical raton and lower taxes. Elk Rivor-a rates aro so high that relocation to Monticello could save them as much an 53.000-S4,000 par month. When looking atother cities near the matro aroa thet had NSP service, they lost the saving. in oloctriCal raton in inc reaood taxoo. M10 Council Agenda - 5/13/85 rt Monticello gave them the advantages of both lover electrical rates, lower taxes, and excellent transportation. They are looking for 5 acres of land to build a 15,000-20,000 sq. ft. building. A decision as to whether to move in 1985 or 1986 will be made by July. Other activities that I have been working on included organizing and wrapping up the 1985 Chamber of Commerce membership drive. This year membership was increased 266, which represented 21 now members. Another activity that was recently completed involved the 1985 recertification of the Star City Program. This involves the formulation of detailed plana for the coming year and comparisons of the previous year. Lest November when we installed our Star City signs on the freeway and MN/DOT removed them, I started a campaign to have them put back up. I discussed the situation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Senator Betty Adkins, Representative Robert McEachern, and Minnesota Senators Boschwitz and Durenberger. As a result, we found out that it was not an violation of the federal law and the responsibility was given to each state. Shortly thereafter, I requested our local legislators to amend Minnesota's sign law, allowing Monticello to place those Star City signs on the freeway. After several hearings and committao meetings, the lav was amended to allow A uo to re- install. the signs. Wo are now awaiting official confirmation of the bill's passage, a signature by the Govornor,bofore installing the signs. This past weak and the next weak will be spent exclusively planning and holding the Industrial Development Committee's Annual Banquet. Thereafter, full efforts will be aimed at economic development. During the time I wan preparing this report, I have boon in contact with the Minnesota Trade Office and Norway. STP representatives arc scheduled to arrive in Minnesota sometime lata of Friday, May 10, 1985. They will moot with the Trade Office early on Monday regarding Minnesota Trade in Norway. Mr. Eldon 8ruatuon, Director of the Minnesota Trade Office, thought that STP'a first atop after mooting with the Trade Office would be Monticello. The purpose would be to discuss the ,Greenhouse', project. I will keep each of you informed on the progress. .12- C% Council Agenda - 5/13/85 10. Department Head Report - Monticello Senior Citizen Center. (K.H.) As Director of the Senior Citizen Center, I have complete responsibility for all planning, developing, and implementing a large variety of programs, services, and activities, both at the Center and in community involvement. In addition to the areae covered under Program Director, I am also hostess, responsible for all purchases and maintenance , coats at the Center for programs such as woodworking, rug making, ceramics, classes, dinners, and services. The City maintains my salary and the building, but I am responsible for other budget needs. I, therefore, spend time writing grants for monies and have about 8 major fund raisers a year to help us meet every day needs. In the year 1984, the City of Monticello paid for the Center and Information Booth Historical Building a sum of $24,750 ($2,800 museum salaries), and the Center paid $21,094.78. Those funds were generated through our kitty, donations, grants, and fund raiaors. I personally serve on community organizations, representing the Center, or see that a Senior representative is present. I do a lot of information and referral. Counseling of all kinds is a frequent demand on my time. Over the years I have built up enough rapport with the Seniors that I am often called to attend them when they aro ill, on/off duty hours. This has included going in the ambulance or personally taking them to the doctor or hospital. I attend meetings and conferences to keep abreast of currant policies, laws, and to constantly learn and got now ideas to enhance the Cantor. .1 I teach many of the classes offered at the Canter and organize and attend all off duty activities offered for the Seniors. My goals for 1985 aro to maintain the quality of services, programa, and recreational activities now offered at the Cantor. I hope to continuo the rata of growth in participants that we have built up over the years, and key in on doing more for tho frail elderly population. If we aro moved to the now building, I will be very buoy, as I will be able to increase the amount of activities and participants. Regularly scheduled programs like woodworking and ceramics would no longer have to be interrupted to offer now programa. Immodiato plans would be to add outside activities such as horseshoe and -13- Council Agenda - 5/13/85 l_ shuffleboard. Also, I will add a gift shop for our craft work and an ongoing humanities program. Immediate plans would include some remodeling and applying for grants when possible for the remodeling and an elevator. C C Long range plans are many, but could include specialty areas and nutrition program. -14- MONTIICELLO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT Monticello.
