Monday, February 23, 1987 - 7:30 p.m.
Members Present: Arve A. Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Warren Smith, Bill
Fair, Dan Blonigen.
Members Absent: None.
2. Approval of Minutes.
Motion was made by Smith, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously
carried to approve the minutes of the special meeting held February 9
and the regular meeting held February 9, 1967.
4. Consideration of Authorizing Contract Execution with DMDI for Computer
Acquisition and Awardinq Lease Agreement for Bid.
Anne Carroll, the City's Computer Consultant, informed the Council
that the contract negotiations with DMDI have been completed and
a recommendation was made on the software and equipment purchases
necessary to implement a computer system at City Hall. Ms. Carroll
noted that some software packages were modified and/or eliminated
from the original bid and also that hardware changes were made after
negotiations. At this point, the total hardware package was estimated
at $51,959 and software for all departments at S50,845. In addition,
it was recommended that upon purchase of the hardware and software,
the City also enter into a hardware and software maintenance agreement
with DMDI and Wang Equipment for a one year period that would bring
the total cost of the acquisition to $122,375.
In regards to the financing of the computer acquisition, the City
solicited bide on a lease/purchase arrangement and received two bids
from Norwest Investment Services and Marquette Leasing Services.
On a five-year lease purchase, Norwest would finance the acquisition
at an interest rate of 6.73 percent versus Marquette Leasing Services
interest rate of 7.125 percent. The leaae/purchase arrangement would
allow the City to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease
period for $1 and appears to be an excellent way to finance the acquisition
over its staged implementation.
After further discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded
by Warren Smith, and unanimously carried to authorize entering into
a hardware sales and software leasing agreement with Data Management
Design Incorporated and to enter into a hardware maintenance agreement
with Wang, Inc., and a software maintenance agreement with DMDI for
a period of ono year at a total cost of $122,375.

1987.
6. Consideration of a Proposal for a Simple Subdivision - Applicant,
Nick Kampa.
Mr. Nick Kampa, owner of Lot 2. Block 1, Kemp& Estates, requested
approval of a simple subdivision to subdivide the existing residential
lot into two lots. The proposed subdivision would meet the square
footage requirements of the City with one parcel retaining the existing
house and garage. The proposal requested an easement across the
(� newly created parcel to allow for access to an existing garage.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision provided
a now access was created off of County Road 39 for the existing house
and garage and that the easement across the newly created lot be
denied. In addition, it was noted the Wright County Highway Department
requested that the newly created driveway for the existing house
be at least 20 feet away from an abutting driveway.
Motion was made by Fran Fair. seconded by Bili Fair, and unanimously
carried to approve the simple subdivision request provided the following
conditions were met.
1. The ingress and agrees easement across Parcel 8 to service the
garage on Parcel A be eliminated.
2. The future driveway for Parcel B to service the existing house
be at least 20 feet away from an abutting driveway.
3. Future services for sewer and water to the existing house be
installed prior to the reconstruction of wast County Road 39
during the spring of 1987.

Ik- newly created parcel would contain approximately 18,480 square feet.
The larger parcel currently contains a garage that would have to
be removed prior to a new home being constructed on the property.
Motion was made by Warren Smith, seconded by Dan Blonigen, and unanimously
carried to recommend approval of the subdivision provided the existing
garage on Parcel B be removed prior to a building permit being issued
for a new home and that a new home would not require any additional
variances and would be started within 120 days.

Currently the American Legion Club operates a gambling license at
the Monticello Liquors and has applied to the State Charitable Gambling
Board for renewal of this license. The City Council has 30 days

the license.
Hearing no objections, it was the consensus of the Council to allow
the State Charitable Gambling Board to renew the license for the
American Legion Club.
9. Consideration of a Request to Attend the National Conference for

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
d. Public Hearing on a Proposal to Amend the City Ordinance Granting
a Non -Exclusive Franchise to Rite Cable of Minnesota to Allow a Transfer
to Jones Intercable. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Minnesota's Cable Statute requires that a City Council hold a public
hearing to amend a franchise when it involves the transfer of ownership
of the cable company. in this case the transfer, as you've already
been notified earlier, involves Rite Cable of Minnesota and Jones
Intercable. Jones Intercable is the eleventh largest cable company
in the U.S. and seems to be quite reputable. Each of the ten cities
involved in the Cable Commission will be holding their own public
hearing on the proposed amendment of the franchise. In addition,
the Cable Commission is conducting a public hearing on the transfer
on Wednesday, March 11. The Cable Commission will be conducting
an in-depth evaluation utilizing the appropriate consultants to evaluate
the proposed changes that would become effective if the transfer
is granted. Based on the results of those in-depth evaluations,
the Cable Commission will submit to each of the ten councils a recommendation
to approve or disapprove.
Because it is the Commission who will be doing the in-depth analysis
and preparing a recommendation, the City Council ought not take any
action this coming Monday night other than to open the hearing and
subsequently close the hearing. Do not peen any motions to approve
or disapprove the transfer. The conduct of this hearing Is solely
to conform with state law requiring that a hearing be held. There
is no requirement that official action be taken as soon as the hearing
is closed. The Council. should not adopt any ordinance amendment
until the final recommendations of the Commission have been submitted
for consideration at some later meeting.
There really are no alternative actions, nor staff recommendation,
nor supporting data at this time. This is solely a public hearing
to be open and closed with no subsequent action at this time.

5. Consideration of Adoptinga Resolution of Final Approval for the
Issuance of Industrial Revenue Refunding Bonds for Monticello Medical
Facilities. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Earlier this year, you adopted a resolution granting preliminary
approval for the issuance of Refunding Bonds for the Monticello Medical
Facilities. In the interim, the bond attorneys, Medical Facilities
people, and finance people have put together the final package.
From our position, Holmes 6 Graven have been acting on our behalf
reviewing the process. Mr. John Utley of Holmes 6 Graven called
me Wednesday, March d, 1987, to indicate that all negotiations are
appropriate and that the City can adopt the resolution of final approval
without any exposure. This resolution now becomes a matter of the
final formality so that the Medical Facilities group can do a Refunding
Bond closing on Tuesday. March 10, 1987.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Adopt the resolution granting final approval.
2. Do not adopt the resolution granting final approval.
3. Delay action.
i
`. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that, upon receipt of a letter giving the City Council
clearance for adoption from Holmes 6 Craven, the resolution be duly
adopted by motion and second. The City has no financial exposure
in or for the successful refunding of these bonds.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
if a final copy of the resolution arrives in time to be included,
said resolution will be attached in your packet.

6. Consideration of Entering an Agreement with MN/DOT for the City to
Accept Financial Responsibility for the Monthly Utility Bill for
Lighting the New Mississippi River Bridge. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
On the 4th day of September, 1929, the City of Monticello entered
an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to pay
for the necessary electric current to properly light the way across
the new bridge at that time, and at all times thereafter to keep
up and maintain those lights. The City did this faithfully for many
years through contracts with Northern States Power. In the late
70's the power system and wiring on the old bridge began to significantly
deteriorate. The bridge became dark. In 1980, after receiving several
complaints about the darkened bridge and sidewalk from residents
of both Sherburne County and the City of Monticello, Gary Wieber
approached MN/DOT about the possibility of having MN/DOT re-establish
the lighting across the bridge. Attempts were made to have the lighting
replaced. MN/DOT indicated they were not interested in supplying
lighting across the bridge and sent us a copy of the 1929 agreement
which made us responsible for the lighting.
In November of 1982, after receiving additional complaints, the City
Council asked the staff to look into the possibility of MN/DOT replacing
or repairing the Highway 25 bridge sidewalk lighting. After discussions
with MN/DOT, it became apparent that MN/DOT was looking into the
possibility of lighting the roadway portion of the bridge and that
some of this light may spill over onto the sidewalk. In May of 1983,
we received a proposal from Jim Waingartz, Preliminary Design Engineer
from MN/DOT. His proposal was for the City to pay one-third of the
project cost or $5,700 for spillover lighting on the sidewalk on
the old bridge. In addition, we would pay the power consumption
and MN/DOT would pay the maintenance. At a meeting in May 1983,
the Council decided not to participate in the lighting project, and
consequently the Minnesota Department of Transportation -a project
did not go either due to lack of interest by the City.
In July of 1983, the City staff, at the direction of the City Council,
asked for bide to repair the existing lighting to a unable condition
so that it would last until completion of the new bridge. A low
bid of $1,650 was received to repair the bridge lighting. On July 25,
1983, the City Council voted to discontinue all efforts to light
the bridge and sent word to MN/DOT.
Minnesota Department of Transportation is currently developing plane
for lighting the now four lane bridge across the Mississippi River.
We have boon contacted by Ron Bray of the Minnesota Department of
Transportation and asked to participate in the power cost for the
lights on the now bridge. As proposed, there are a total of six
200 -vett high pressure sodium lights for the bridge, three on the
Wright County side of the bridge and three on the Sherburne County
side of the bridge.
-3-
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
`l I spoke with NSP to get an approximate cost for lighting the new
bridge. NSP basically can provide power to such a lighting system
in two ways. One method would be metered power whereby we would
pay a minimum charge of $5.45 per month, then 3.420 per kilowatt
hour after that period of time. Assuming ten hours per day operation
for power only,three lights would cost us S166.56 per year. Six
lights, or lighting the entire bridge, would cost us S267.72 per
year.
NSP, as well as MN/DOT, would prefer an unmetered hookup. Thereby
we are charged a flat rate for the light; and if the bulb goes out,
NSP includes a bulb change. All the rest of the maintenance is done
by MN/DOT. Under this type of a rate structure, the flat rate would
be S5.35 per month per fixture. Three lights would cost us $192.60
per year, and six lights would cost us $365.20 per year.
After I obtained all the necessary information from MN/DOT and Northern
States Power, I approached the Sherburne County Highway Engineer,
Mr. Ruse Mechinaki, and discussed the proposed project with him.
I asked Russ 1f he felt Sherburne County would be willing to pay
for three of the lights on the bridge to the County line, so to speak,
as it was Russ -s understanding that the county went to the middle
of the river. Russ had indicated that the County is already lighting
the intersection of County Road 11 and Highway 25 at a significant
cost and felt that they would not be willing to light the bridge.
? They felt they had some obligation in lighting County Road 11 as
it approaches Highway 25, but felt no obligation in lighting a bridge
over the Mississippi River. Z asked him if they would at least be
willing to pay fnr tl.roe lights, as the price was minimal. He again
indicated he felt that NN/DOT should, indeed, light the bridge.
We did discuss the use of the sidewalks by Sherburne County residents
and Wright County residents. Again, Ruse felt that Sherburne County
should not be paying for that system and was unwilling at this time
to pursue it any further due to the coat the County was already covering
on lighting.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to enter an agreement with MN/DOT
to provide power and light bulb changes for the entire six light@
at an estimated coat of $385.20 par year.
2. The second alternative would be to provide power and light bulb
changes for only three of the lights on the bridge at an estimated
cost of $192.60 per year.
3. The third alternative would be to not agree to provide any power
whatsoever for the lighting on the bridge.
4. The fourth alternative could be any combination or agreeing to
provide the motored power only for three to six lights.
-4-
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
CC. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Due to the political nature of this issue and the Councils past
action on lighting for the old bridge, the staff has no recommendation
on this item.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Correspondence from 1929; Letter to MN/DOT from Gary wisher; Council
agenda supplement from 5/26/83; Correspondence to MN/DOT from John
Simola; Letter to Tom Eidem from James Waingartz dated 5/11/83.

4. Consiroration of a Presentation by the 14inne3ut.a Department
of Transportation Relating to Construction of a New Highway
Bridqe and Proposed Liqhtinq of the Existinq Highway Bridge.
J.S.).
In November of 1982, the City Council asked the Staff to look
into the possibility of MWD= repairing or replacing the
Hwy 25 bridge sidewalk lighting. Members of the Council and
the City Administrator had received complaints abr•ut the dark
walkway. The Council also indicated at that time that the
City may share in the cost of re-establishing sidewalk
lighting.
On November 26, 1982, I wrote to the MN/DOT District 3
Engineer, Darryl Durgin, and relayed the Council's thoughts.
Sometime later I received word from James Povich, a pre-
liminary design engineer from MN/DDT that the State was
planning a lighting project this summer for the bridge
roadway and that there may be enough spillover to light
the walkway.
On February 25, 1983, 1 received word irom Bud McGulloCh
with M.4/DOT that they were luokinq ini.a the slillr.vur
lighting and it may not be enough to l:jht the walkway.
He asked if the City was otill interestr,) in r.har;ng the
cost. I told Bud we would look „t a Iropo:,al but were
concerned only with the walkway lighti:.j.
On May 11, 1983, we received a proposal from Jamca weingartz,
Ireliminary design engineer for MN/DC.T. His proposal was for
the City to pay 1/3 of the project cost ($17,100 X 1/3 - 65,700)
and possibly pay for power consumption with NN/DOT covering
maintenance.
I contacted Mr. Waingartz by phone on Monday, May 16th, and
told him I though his proposal would be entirely unacceptable
by the City Council. I again stressed that we were only con-
cerned about the walkway lighting and that surely it would
not cost 65,700 to merely add f inures to the new proposed
bridge roadway lighting system. I asked Mr. Weingarten to
reanalyze the costs and maks a presentation on Tuesday
evening, may 24th to the Council involving only costs for
walkway lighting.

RE: Liqhtinq on Highway 25 Bridge Over the Mississippi.
Gentlemen:
We have received several complaints and inquiries recently and in
the past about the walkway lighting on the above reforaneed bridge.
I discussed this problem with Mr'. Dick Laage, the area foreman and
he referred me to the Brainerd office.
It is our understanding that this bridge may be replaced or widen-
ed in the upcoming years. This does not alter the fact that a
safety hazard does now exist.
The City of Monticello requests that you reevaluate this safety
problem and discuss it with us. It is possible that the City
could stare in the cost of repairing the old lighting or the
installation of new temporary lighting.
if you have any questions or if we can be of any assistance,
please contact us.

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
7. Consideration of a Resolution Setting a Public Hearing to Consider
the Making of Public Improvements in Construction Five Subdivision
and Along County Road 118. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Each of you should have been talked to by John Simola concerning
a proposal to combine the Construction Five public improvements with
a minor water line extension out near the site of the new school.
The school has agreed to pay 50 percent of the cost of that water
line extension. I checked with Holmes 6 Graven to see if it would
be necessary to hold a public hearing prior to ordering the project
in order to assess the City's half at some later date when the rest
of the water system is done. John Green of Holmes 6 Graven was unsure
and recommended that we beat hold the hearing to be safe even though
a part of the property benefiting from the project currently lies
outside of the city. This public hearing then is primarily our safety
net in order to be able to recapture our half at some later date.
In connection with Construction Five, I met at length with Mr. 6
Mrs. Bill Malone to discuss contract provisions for the extension
of services in their area. while a formal contract has not yet been
executed, they did indicate verbally general agreement to executing
that contract. The other affected property owner is a Mr. Merrill
Bush from the Twin Cities. I have been unable to contact Mr. Bush
in order to discuss the contract provisions, but still hope to do
that in order to facilitate the project with ease. I am, however,
including this project under the public hearing notice also as a
safety net. If we aro unable to roach an agreement with Mr. Bush,
or if the Malonas change their mind, than the proper 429 procedure
would have been duly followed. The resolution I am requesting you
to adopt tonight does nothing more than set the hearing for the March 23
meeting. No other consideration or action ought to be taken at this
time.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Adopt a resolution setting a public hearing for public improvements
on March 23.
2. Do not adopt the resolution, order that the water line by the
school not be installed.
3. Do not adopt the resolution to hold a public hearing, but plan
to install the water line and execute private contracts with
Malone• and Bush.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the public hearing be hold as an administrative
safety net.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:

'•i 7. Consideration of a Resolution Setting a Public Hearing to Consider
the Making of Public Improvements in Construction Five Subdivision
and Along County Road 118. (J.S.I
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
During our discussions with School District Superintendent, Sheldon
Johnson, and the architect for the new school, it was brought out
that the school required water service on the south end of their
building. The city's water main extends on the east side of County
Road 118 only a short distance southerly of a point where it extends
easterly into Meadow Oak. At this point, our water main is approximately
720 feet north of the area where the school requires water service.
The school's architect incorporated into their plan a water main
crossing of 118 and an extension of an 8 -inch main some 800 feet
down the west side of County Road 118 to the area where the school
needs service. During our discussions it was pointed out to the
Superintendent that in the near future when the city's water main
is extended southerly on the east side of County Road 118 that the
School District would be assessed its proportionate share for that
construction and that in all reality, the construction of a water
main on the west side of County Road 118, which would be temporary
in nature, would be a great waste of taxpayers' dollars. It was
determined from those meetings that it would be in the beet interest
of the School District and the City to work out an agreement to extend
the city's water main prior to the time the School District finds
need for it, which would more than likely be in late 1987.
After our discussions with the School District, we asked OSM to prepare
a small coat analysis based upon the plan sheet already drawn for
the water improvement project. Enclosed you will find a copy of
that February 17 estimate. A minor change has been made to the estimate
in that the school would provide their own crossing of County Road 117
so the three service items would be deducted and the other fees adjusted
accordingly. Baood upon thio we would expect the project bido to
come in at about 532,060,with the total project cost, including engineering
and administrative coots, to be $35,985.
we received a letter on February 24, 1987, from the School District
which indicates their willingness to participate in the project up
to an amount of $17,992.50. At Tom's request, I did call Shelly
Johnson after receiving his totter and clarified the City's position
that we would expect the School District's fair share to moan 50 portant
of the project and that the bids would be received in plenty of time
for the School District to have input in reference to the coat.
The school's architects feel that the project will come In bolow
those costa anticipated.
On Friday, February 27, and Monday. March 2, 1 polled all of the
Council member: in regard to this subject and requested permission
to includo thio project with tho Construction Five project in order
-7-
C
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
to obtain bide. The specifications would be drafted in such a way
that the water main portion of the project could be deleted, and if
included would have its own project number, 87-1. It was the consensus
of the Mayor and Council members that we add it to the Construction
Five project.
on the east aide of County Road 118, there is approximately 450 feet
of the 720 foot project outside the city limits. It is the intent
of staff to request that this be held in abeyance until such time
this portion of the project is in the city limits and the water improvement
project itself is constructed. At that time, those costa would be
built into the project and assessed. In addition, it may be advisable
to even hold in abeyance the first 300 feet on the east side of County
Road 118 that would be in the city limits and assess that parcel
at the same time as the rest. At this particular time, we merely
wish to provide you with all the information on the project and ask
that you set a public hearing on March 23 prior to the review of
the construction project bids and award.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to order a public hearing for
March 23, 1987.
2. Alternative number two would be not to order the public hearing
if it is the consensus of the City Council that they are uncomfortable
with this project or feel it is not in our interest to proceed
with it.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It in the staff recommendation at thin time that the Council proceed
with this project and net a public hearing on March 23, 1987, as
outlined in alternative number one.

As you are aware, the Monticello School District is in the process of
exploring alternatives with regard to a water line servicing the Middle
School which will be constructed southeast of the city of Monticello.
Based on information which the City has furnished, indicating an approxi-
mate cost to the school district of $17,992.50 for the installation of
a sixteen inch water main along County Road 118, I am hereby informing
you that the School District is agreeable to paying its fair share, up
to the aforementioned amount, in lieu of installing a temporary eight
inch water line which is presently called for in the school district
bid specifications.
I would further like to point out that the school district has already
called for the service to be excavated under County 118, so there is no
need to include an extra amount of money for this purpose in the sixteen
inch water main estimates.
Finally, in checking with our engineers, it appears that city estimates
obtained for the installation of this project might be on the high side
Therefore, if the bids reveal a project cost less than $41.300.00, which
I am confident will be the case, we would expect the school district's
share of the project to be proportionately less than $17,992.50.
I would appreciate hearing from you as to whether or not the city will
place this project out to bid in the near future.

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
8. Consideration of Entering an Agreement to Participate in a Fire Mutual
Aid Training Program. (R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The fire departments of the cities of Becker, Big Lake, Elk River,
Zimmerman. and Monticello have been discussing the possibility of
entering into a joint powers agreement for the purpose of sharing
training aide for their respective fire departments, primarily the
use of training VCR tapes. The Elk River Fire Department currently
owns eight video tapes pertaining to specific subjects on fire safety
and training that they are willing to make available to the five
member organization. During 1987, Elk River Fire Department plane
on purchasing additional video tapes to complete the Fire Fighter I
aeries training tapes in the amount of $1,881. By having the five
member fire departments form a joint powers agreement, the idea was
to share the video tape cost over the five communities and make the
tapes available to all member departments as needed. The association
in future years would continue to purchase additional video training
tapes to be added to the membership library until the complete training
program was available.
The preliminary draft of the joint powers agreement has been prepared
by the city attorney of Becker and all five communities have been
asked to approve the concept if they are interested. As mentioned
earlier, the total cost of the Fire Fighter I aeries containing approximately
19 video tapes would be $1,881. The video tepee currently owned
by the Elk River Fire Department under this agreement would be donated
to the association. In addition, the Elk River Fire Department received
an $800 contribution from Sherburne County for the training aide,
and this amount would be deducted resulting in a net cost of 51,081
to be shared by the five fire departments. A9 a result, the City
of Monticello's fire department coat for the series I tapes would
be $216.20. This cost would allow the fire department access to
all 19 tapes.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to approve the Monticello Fire
Department's membership in the Sher -Wright Fire Training Mutual
Aid Association and authorizing the department's contribution
of 5216.20 as its 1987 membership fee.
2. The second alternative would be to not authorize participation.
C. STAFP RECOMMENDATION:
Since continual training of the fire department members is essential
and in some casae required by the State, it appears reasonable to
allow the Sire department to join with the other four communities
in sharing the cost of the video tape training aide. When the training
library in completed, numerous video tapes will be available to each
fire department for training purposes at a much reduced cost over
owning them individually.

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
9. Consideration of Ratifying the Proposed Date for the 1987 Board of
Review. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Each year the County Assessor tentatively sets a date for the annual
Board of Review and requests the City Council to respond to the tentative
date. This year -s Board of Review has been tentatively set for Monday.
May 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the Monticello City Hall. If this time
is unacceptable, then the Council should determine a preferred date
which I can then forward to Mr. Gruber. If this time is acceptable,
no action is necessary. I will simply notify Mr. Gruber that the
18th is okay with Monticello.
No alternative actions or staff recommendation for this item.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Copy of the notice from the County Assessor setting a tentative date
for Board of Review.

`L 10. Consideration of Authorizing the Purchase of Certain Public Works
Equipment. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The following is a discussion of those proposed purchases.
The City of Monticello currently has one wand type magnetic locator.
Walt and Matt keep this unit with them at all times for locating
primarily water valves for general service water hookups and
the like. It appears that in the past couple of years the use
by myself, the Street Department, and Gary Anderson's department
to locate manholes, verify property corners, and assist with
the larger construction projects has grown. it is now at a point
where it's becoming more and more inconvenient and time wasting
to borrow and chase down Walt and Matt's locator. We, therefore,
propose the purchase of one additional magnetic locator.
2. The City currently has a hot water pressure washer at the Public
Works building. It is an older unit purchased in 1976 from a
firm in Annandale no longer in business. Major problems were
encountered with this unit in 1979, and it was semi -rebuilt in
that year with a now pump. I had serious doubts about the capability
of Lewarke Equipment when they rebuilt this unit in 1979. The
rebuilding job seemed to be somewhat makeshift. A galvanized
cover was bent and held down with a bungy cord, and some of the
wiring vas extremely questionable. However, the unit did appear
to work satisfactorily for a few years until last year when we
began having problems with it. Tho burner system is completely
non-functional at this time, and it appears to be some of the
safety equipment or switching which is at fault. The existing
switching on the unit is unavailable and it would be necessary
to replace the controls with controls from another manufacturer's
burner system. We are currently using the unit only as a cold
water washer, and it is extremely limited in its capabilities.
During the OZIIA inspection, the inspector raiaod his eyebrows
quite high when approaching this old pressure washer. Roger
was quick to point out to him that he would not have to be concerned
with that as it was being replaced.
3. It has become apparent for soma time that the never collection
system needed safer equipment for entry and escape from manhole
work. Most of our manhole work in done with two people. If
there were an accident, it would be impossible for the second
individual to rescue the second without the proper equipmont.
The proper equipment consists of a wench weighted to retrieve
a man from a manhole and a boom hoist. This wench is kept connected
to the individual at all times. In addition, a fall control
device is needed when going into the deeper manholes. We have
manholes in excess of 00 foot deep on our interceptor sever,
while the majority of them aro 25-30 feet deep. A fall control
mm
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
`i device allows free movement similar to that of a shoulder harness
in an automobile. The moment the speed of the retrieval or the
speed of the fall increases, the unit locks in and stops the
fall or motion. Professional Services Group has recognized the
need for such a unit in their work. They are willing to cover
258 of the purchase price of this equipment in their operating
budget.
e. The City has been in need of a small piece of compaction equipment
for compacting around culverts and around manholes during repairs
and adjustments. We had looked into the possibility of acquiring
a hydraulic tamper that could be fitted to our loaders and even
our blacktop patching truck. After some discussion, we decided
the hydraulic piece of equipment would be less versatile than
an air operated unit. In addition, the air operated unit is
significantly lees costly.
The City currently has two lift stations on a direct dial alarm
system whereby City staff and/or the Sheriff's Department receives
immediate notification of a problem including a power failure.
Those lift stations are the Chestnut Street lift station and the
Meadow Oak lift station. We wish to add one more lift station
to our system, and that in the Bridge Park lift station at River
Street and Highway 25. Thin is our oldest lift station that
we have, being approximately 27 years old at this time. The
interceptor sower has greatly reduced the flow through this lift
station, and we are currently monitoring to sea how much of a
reduction actually occurred. We would, however, like to have
an alarm system at this lift station, as if a problem does occur
here, it is usually of significant magnitude. In the poet, the
City's insurance company has paid out in excess of $50,000 in
claims from problems at this lift station. When we originally
budgeted for thin system, we took the approximate coat of equipment
and doubled it to include the installation coat. We, therefore,
budgeted an amount of $1,800. In November of last year I asked
Bantoc Engineering for a quota. This is tho firm that did most
of the telemetric work at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and is
the firm who our old employee, John Hoffman, currently works
for. They gave us a price of 83,125. Based upon this amount,
they would be charging us approximately $2,000 for Installation.
The installation of the Chestnut Street alarm system took only
a few hours. Therefore, I fool confident that we can have a
local firm such as Olson Electric or an electronics expert from
Professional Services Group install the alarm system and stay
within budget.
The following is a list of the proposed purchases and prices and
budgeted amount.
-12-
t
NOTE: PSG will cover 25 percent of coat out of 0 6 M contract.
Right of ownership on equipment remains 100 percent Citi.
All of the above purchases aro basod upon a solicitation of two quotes
and all proposed purchases are low bid with the exception of the
pressure washer. The pressure washer we ch000 was $41.84 higher
than the other quote we received. We did, however, choose this unit
for throe reasons: 1) It is sold and serviced locally through National
Bushing. 2) The unit is extensively porcelain coated and offers
a high degree of corrosion protection. 3) NSP uses this machine
at the Nuclear Power Plant and at the Becker Plant and hes found
it to be extremely satisfactory. All of the above purchases combined
would account for 5607.84 Joao than the 1987 budget. In addition,
the City intends to sell its old pressure washer along with some
other miscellaneous surplus or unneeded equipment this spring and
would expect to gat a few hundred dollars revenue.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to approve the purchases as outlined
above.

2. The second alternative would be to delete one or more of the

purchases is necessary.

It is the recommendation of the Public works Director that the Council
approve the purchases as outlined in alternative number one.

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
11. Consideration of Authorizing Repair of Manholes. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
There currently are four old brick manholes in our downtown and near
downtown sever system that are in need of extensive repairs. Most
of this system dates back to the 1920'8, so these manholes are quite
old. The following is a list of the locations and depths.
1. Linn Street and Third Street, depth 8.78 feet.
2. Broadway and Linn Streets, depth 13.51 feet.
3. Broadway and Locust Streets, depth 11.2 feet.
4. The east side of Locust Street just south of Broadway,
depth 9.7 feet.
TOTAL FOOTAGE - 43.19 feet
The deteriorating condition of these manholes became obvious during
our utility inspections in 1984 prior to the upgrading of County
Road 75. It was felt at that time that the manholes could be repaired
in place with now steps and bottoms added as necessary. The last
complete manhole replacement that the City contracted for was in
1982 at a cost of $418 per foot. Utilizing the footage of these
four manholes, our estimated cost could be in the neighborhood of
$18,000. This was another reason to consider in -plata repairs.
In the past few years, we have looked at various methods of lining
these manholes. There currently are throe methods in existence.
Ono is utilizing a cast in place fiberglass liner. Another is the
spraying of liquid concrete onto a wire mesh, generally referred
to as gunnito. A third method recently coming to light in Minnesota
is the casting of an entirely now manhole inside the old manhole.
An old firm that the City has dealt with for years, Water Products
of. Eden Prairie, Minnesota, is now contracting for the repair of
older manholes with this latter method of casting o now manhole inside
the old one. Water Products Company has performed this work in Hinckley,
St. Louie Park, Hopkins, Farmington, Minnesota, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
I asked water Products to thoroughly examine our four manholes and
quote us on the repairs. My original estimate for the repair work
was $3,000. This in the amount 1 placed into the 1987 budget in
the collection system.
The Water Products Company quotation, which is enclosed for your
review, totals $4,920. The City is responsible for providing the
concrete, providing replacement steps, and performing the dowatering
if necessary. Since the quantity of concroto and stops can be determined,
we estimate their cost at between 5600 and $700. The dewatering
costs, however, are leas easily determined. At this time we feel
that dewatoring will not be necessary. But in order to protect ourselves,
Men
C
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
we asked Water Products Company for a firm quotation on dewatering,
as there was a alight possibility that two manholes may require dewatering.
We were given a quote of $250 per day for the dewatering. we estimate
the total project to cost in the area of $6,000 and could be completed
the week of the 23rd of March. We would propose that the shortfall
of $3,000 in the sewer collection fund be made up from the maintenance
refund check received from Professional Services Group in the amount
of 53,196.07.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to accept the quotation from Water
Products Company in the amount of $4,920 and authorize the work
to proceed.
2. The second alternative would be to replace the manholes at an
estimated cost of S18,000-
3. The third alternative would be to do nothing or attempt to make
minor repairs to these manholes. This is not in the best interest
of the City of Monticello and can result in future safety problems
as well as potential pollution risks.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It!s tho recommendation of the Public Works Director that the Council
authorize the repairs an outlined in alternative number one.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:

12. Consideration of Ordering the Preparation of a Development Design
for Downtown Monticello by Dahlgren, Shardlow 6 Uban. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Over the past two to three years, a number of meetings and informational
sessions have been held both with Dahlgren's office and with members
of the downtown retail community to discuss downtown rehabilitation.
The project started to pick up steam within the last six months,
and we have been attempting to proceed in a logical, progressive
fashion. Throughout the process we have been working from a generalized
concept/sketch plan that was prepared by Dahlgren approximately two
years ago. This sketch/concept plan was largely a collection of
various kinds of elements and design features that could be drawn
in. It by no means carried with it a recommended development plan.
We did, however, use that as a basis of discussions when talking
with downtown retailers.
During the most recent series of meetings, I have attempted to emphasize
one major point that was absolutely crucial to the success of a project,
viz., there must be a sense of unity among the downtown community
for this project to work at all. I have attempted to stress that
the City has no desire to enter adversarial relationships with the
downtown community in order to do development. I feel that I stated
it quite strongly and quite plainly that before the City would proceed
with additional design, we would have to have some indication that
the majority of property owners/business people were in favor of
proceeding.
On Wednesday morning, March d, 1987, I met with Steve Johnson of
Johnson's Department Store, and Al Loch of Loch Jewelry to discuss
the next step. They brought with them a signed Statement with a
majority of the property owners having signed requesting the City
proceed to the next step, to wit, the development design stage.
The development design stage is where the planner and the City put
together a proposed final design with respect to the physical features.
The development design plan will still carry with it a certain number
of detail options, but the basic layout becomes finalized. For instance,
if we select period lighting, the development design will stipulate
the number and the proposed locations. However, since there are
a huge number of period design lighting selections, that final detail
would be left until plane and spec -a. In the development design,
we will finalize whether or not we're using cluster planting or symmetrical
spaced planting and approximately the final locations of the plantings.
We won't necessarily decide upon ovary species of planting to go
in until plana and space. Another example might be sidewalks.
For instance, we may make the final decision that we will be utilizing
substances other than concrete for accent highlights. We may decide
the exact design of the accent and their final locations, but may
reserve the final selection of the material until plans and spac'a.
-17-
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
Some of the most difficult work begins after the development design
is complete because of the ability to juggle figures. It is a given
that the project needs to be affordable to everyone concerned. We
thus will be faced with a capped budget. I presume. Once the design
is agreed upon, decisions need to be made with respect to should
we put a large amount of money into the sidewalk and pedestrian walkway
treatment and buy cheap lighting, or should we do the opposite.
Once the design is complete, then the balancing, juggling, and maneuvering
begins. It is at that point that I have indicated to the downtown
people that we will want a select committee to work with us on a
regular basis to help with final selection decisions.
I have asked John Uban to prepare a cost estimate for doing the development
design study. He indicated to me on the phone that he may not have
the final figures ready until sometime Monday afternoon. This is
a late agenda item, and I am trying to expedite it and ask your indulgence
for not having all detailed information at this time. The merchants
who are enthusiastic about this still hope to see some of the work
(if not all of it) done in 1987. Our projections to date indicate
that the project very likely could be done in the very late summer,
early fall. That presents a number of advantages: First, the construction
would precede the holiday season enough to not disrupt the merchants,
but would fall lata enough in the summer that it would not be disruptive
like the last two summers have been. Second, because it is a project
that requires so many varying types of decisions, it is boat not
to rush it so as to not miss significant details or and up with a
project that is less than satisfactory when its complete. Third,
I anticipate the project to require multiple sources of funding and
assembling such funding packages will take time.
While no one has in any way committed to any kind of an agreement
to participate in the project. the petition statement does indicate
a major willingness for ua to continue in this direction.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Based on the cost projections submitted by Dahlgren -a office,
order the preparation of a development design plan.
2. Abandon the project.
3. Delay for further consideration.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the work that ha a gone into this project to date, as well
as the expense. I think it would be beneficial for the City to continua
with the process and arrive at a development design. It is my contention
that until we have a concrete design (no pun intended), further decision
making will be extremely difficult. All conversations will be largely
hypothetical and non-oubs tantive. I think it Is beet for the City
to pursue it now.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:

Council Agenda - 3/9/87
1
13. Consideration of an Offer or Offers to Acquire the Old Fire Nell. (T. E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Two meetings ago, the Council rejected an offer from Dr. Clarence
McCarty to acquire the old fire hall at 565,000, and ordered that
the City initiate action to market the property. we began by preparing
for sale signs to be posted on site, but I have not yet placed a
listing advertisement in any periodicals. Since that meeting, Curt
Markling has expressed an interest in acquiring the property, and
I have met with him on a number of occasions. In preparing this
agenda, I anticipated that I would have a single purchase agreement
from Curt Markling to present to the City Council. The substance
of that purchase agreement was an offer of 575,000, with $10,000
down and the remaining 565,000 placed on a contract for deed with
a balloon payment at the end of three years. One of the contingencies
attached to the purchase agreement is that development plans and
an on -sale liquor license be granted by the City Council for the
establishment of an on -sale liquor enterprise. While the appraisal
price is in the range of $88,000 to $938000 (City's asking price
593,000). I felt I could defend an offer of $75,000 on a contract
with a reasonable interest rate provided that the business was, in
fact, a liquor establishment generating an annual liquor license
fee. I believe a similar offer for a non -liquor establishment would
be a little slim. I do think, however, that there is some advantage
.� to rapidly marketing the property and getting it onto the tax rolls
and am somewhat ambivalent on whether or not it is beneficial to
hold out for top dollar.
My original intent was to provide you with an in-depth review in
the agenda supplement so that you may consider this offer. At approximately
5 p.m. on Thursday, March 5, 1987, I spoke with Dr. McCarty again
who is now interested in putting in another offer. As of this writing,
Friday morning, I have seen neither purchase agreement in final form
and have no way to comment. Both Dr. McCarty and Curt Markling have
indicated an interest in seeing the offer made by the other party.
Once officially submitted to me, of course, they become public documents
and can be reviewed by anyone. This being the case, I am left somewhat
up in the air since the two potential buyers are jockeying for position.
I am afraid I have very little also to supply you until the Interested
parties come to terms with their own position.
This item may, perhaps, be one of those open-ended agenda Items where
the final information comes to you Monday night. It is conceivable
that purchase agreements could be submitted, then withdrawn, than
refiled, and on and on up until the Council moete. Up to this point,
I have done no evaluation on whether or not one business would be
more suitable to the area. I have been reviewing and conducting
discussions solely from the perspective of selling a piece of property.
I believe It would be inappropriate for ms to make a judgement as
to the significance of the businesses proposed when we have a Planning
Commission for precisely that process.
Council Agenda - 3/9/87
tB. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Review the purchase agreements/offers as submitted, evaluate
and accept the best offer.
2. Accept and review the offers; if unacceptable, reject both.
3. Accept and review the offers, delay action for further analysis
and/or negotiation.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
In the absence of specific data, it Is impossible to provide a staff
recommendation. From a general point of view, I think it is beneficial
for the City to accept a solid reasonable offer and transfer this
piece into private ownership. Perhaps by Monday evening greater
detail will be available for evaluation.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Copies of offers/purchase agreements (if they arrive by mailing time).
