3. Citizens Comments/Petitions. Requests and Complaints.
Mayor Grimsmo informed the Council that a committee had been formed
whose primary mission will be the consolidation and conduciveness
of commercial development for the Monticello business district.
Mayor Grimsmo noted the primary concerns at the present time of the
committee will be the implementation of the streetscape designs for
the downtown and other downtown development, and he sees the role
of the committee as coordinating commercial development throughout
the city. Mayor Grimemo requested that the Council endorse such
e committee which would be appointed by the Mayor and City Council
and report to the Mayor and City Council.
The current members of the committee would be former chairman and
present member of the Planning Commission, Jim Ridgeway, and former
Mayor and downtown businessman, Con Johnson, as chairman of the committee.
In addition, 011ie Koropchak, Economic Development Director, would
be the secretary.
The Council discussed whether the committee would have terms and
discussed whether a future Planning and Zoning Administrator should
also be part of the committee since the City -s Comprehensive Plan,
etc., should be considered by such a committee in their planning
efforts. Some concerns were raised by Council members over the authority
of the committee to be known as Directors of Monticello Development
(OMD) and whether the committee expected all development committees
and commissions to report directly to the DMD or whether they are
requesting just information from the present committees. It was
the consensus of the Council that the formation of such a committee
was a good idea in an effort to coordinate activities of all committees
such as Planning Commission, HRA, or Industrial Development Committees,
but requested that actual authorization of such a committee by the
City Council be tabled for two weeks to clarify the concerns regarding
the actual authority of this now committee, etc.

Council Minutes - 6/22/87
4. Consideration of Awarding the Sale of $155,000 Tax Increment Finance
Bonds for the NAWCO Project.
Mr. Jerry Shannon of Springeted. Inc., opened bids on the sale of
5155,000 in Tax Increment Bonds at 4:00 p.m., Monday afternoon.
The proceeds from the bond sale will be used to purchase land in the
industrial park for resale to the NAWCO Minnesota Corporation. Five
bids were received as follows:
Miller 6 Schroeder Financial 9.0047
Piper Jaffrey 6 Hopwood 9.0986
American National Bank St. Paul 9.1776
First Bank of St. Paul 9.248
Moore Juran 6 Company 9.4630
It was recommended by Mr. Shannon that the low bid trom Miller and
Schroeder Financial at a net interest rate of 9.0047 percent be awarded.
It was noted that this bond issue is a taxable bond issue and did
come in slightly under the estimated interest rate. The project
as such will allow the City to sell the land to the NAWCO Window
Company at a cost of $15,000 and receive sufficient revenues from
tax increments to retire the bonded indebtedness.
Motion was made by 8111 Fair, seconded by Dan Blonigen, and unanimously
carried to adopt a resolution awarding the sale of the bonds to Miller
and Schroeder Financial at a net interest rate of 9.0047 percent.
See Resolution 87-17.
5. Consideration of Executing a Pledge Agreement Between the City and
the Monticello Housing and Redevelopment Authority - NAWCO.
As part of the tax increment bond sale, a pledge agreement between
the City and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority is necessary
whereby the HRA pledges 100 percent of the tax increments they collect
from this project to the City for payment on the bonds.
Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Warren Smith, and unanimously
carried to adopt the resolution authorizing the execution of the
pledge agreement between the City and the HRA. See Resolution 87-18.
G. Consideration of Approving Plane and Specifications for the Liquor
Store Parking Lot and the Relocation of Otter Crook Road, and Authorizing
Advertisement for Bids.
Consulting Engineer, John Badalich, reviewed with the Council the
plane and specifications for both the road realignment at the intorsection
of Otter Creek Road and County Road 75 and the enlargement of the
Liquor Store parking lot. It was noted by Public Works Director,
John Simola, that the road alignment plans for Otter Creek Road will
be submittod to the County Engineer for their review and approval
and did not see any reason why the convenience store located at this
Intersection could not open prior to the completion of this project.

Council Minutes - 6/22/87
Motion was made by Bill Fair, seconded by Dan Blonigen, and unanimously.
carried to approve the plans and specifications for both the Otter
Creek Road --County Road 75 realignment and plans for the Liquor Store
parking lot expansion and authorize the advertisement for bids returnable
July 10, 1987.
In discussions on the parking lot expansion at the Liquor Store,
Council members also recommended that additional landscaping be initiated
at the Liquor Store; and as a result, motion was made by Bill Fair,
seconded by Warren Smith, and unanimously carried to authorize the
preparation of a landscaping plan with cost estimates for the entire
parcel.
7. Consideration of Awarding a Contract to the Lowest Responsible Bidder
for the 1987 Sealcoating Project.
The Public Works Department prepared specifications and requested
bids for sealcoating streets in Par West, Club View Terrace, and
the east side of Meadow Oak Estates. Three bids were received on
Monday afternoon for sealcoating and sweeping after the project 1s
completed and requested an alternate bid allowing the City to swoop
after the scalcoating project was completed. The bids received were
as follows:
Bidder Base Alternate
Allied Blacktop $11,706.00 $10,642.00
.594 .54
Buffalo Bituminous $11,627.13 $10,740.32
.59 .545
Astech Corporation $10,247.62 $ 8,454.30
.52 .429
The low bid received was from Astach Corporation of St. Cloud. Public
Works Director, John Simola, noted that this corporation is actually
a subsidiary of Batzor Construction of St. Cloud and had received
good reference$. In addition, although the low bid from Astach for
the alternate allowing the City to swoop the *treats after the project
would save the City approximately 51.800, the cost to the City of
sweeping would be in the neighborhood of $1.500 for labor and materials;
and because of the shortage of manpower at this time, he recommended
that the base bid or $10.247.62 be awarded to Astach Corporation.
Motion was made by Bili Fair, osconded by Dan Blonigen, and unanimously
carried to award the sealcoating project to Astach Corporation at
the bass bid price of 52t par square yard or $10,247.62.

Council Minutes - 6/22/87
8. Consideration of Amendment to Title 8, Chapter 5, of the City Code
Regulating Placement of Advertising Receptacles in the Public Right -of -Way.
At the previous Council meeting, due to a request by advertising/distributing
services, the staff was directed to prepare an ordinance amendment
that would allow the cluster placement of newspaper/advertising circular
boxes in the public right-of-way. An ordinance amendment was prepared
which will allow cluster advertising boxes to be placed in new subdivisions
where similar cluster placement of mailboxes occurs. In addition,
the ordinance amendment would require existing locations where individual
advertising boxes are placed to also be clustered in the future if
the postal service also converts to cluster mailboxes.
Motion was made by Warren Smith, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously
carried to adopt the ordinance amendment allowing the placement of
advertising receptacles in the public right-of-way.
See Ordinance Amendment No. 156.
9. The Resignation of Thomas Efdem from the Position of Monticello City
Administrator.
During the week of June 8, 1987, the City Council received a letter
of resignation from Tom Eidem, City Administrator, effective August I.
1987.
Motion was made by warren Smith, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously
carried to acknowledge acceptance of the resignation affective August 1.
10. Consideration of Filling the Vacancy in the Office of City Administrator.
Mayor Grimamo noted that he had discussed the vacant City Administrator.,
position with Council members and recommended that the Assistant
Administrator/Finance Director, Rick Wolfsteller, be offered the
position of City Administrator, as it would provide uninterrupted
service and an easy transition. In addition, with a possible realignment
of management staff, the City would continue to receive quality management.
After individual discussion by the Council regarding the appointment,
motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Bill Fair, and unanimously
carried to offer the position of City Administrator to Rick wolfsteller
and to appoint a subcommittee to negotiate a compensation package
affective August 1, 1987. The subcommittee would consist of Councilmombor
Dan 8lonigon and Mayor Arve Grimamo.
11. Consideration of Adopting and Approving a Job Description for the
Position of Zoning Administrator/Planner and Authorising Advertising
for Applicants.
The creation of a somewhat now position as a Zoning Administrator/Planner

duo to the current work load being expanded by Gary Anderson as the
Building Official/Assessor/Civil Defense Director/Zoning Administrator.
-a-
0
Council Minutes - 6/22/67
It was felt that the work load of a building inspector and assessor
i along with civil defense duties would only be increasing in the future .
as the city continues to grow and that a new position of Zoning Administrator/
Planner with additional background and planning would become a necessity
for the City.
A job description for the new position was reviewed by the Council,
and a motion was made by Bill Fair, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously
carried to approve the job description as presented and authorize
the advertising for the position. It was recommended that the position
be advertised in the local and Minneapolis area newspapers and possibly
the League Magazine and State Planning Journal.
12. Consideration of the 1986 Audit.
Mr. Rick Borden and Brad Smoldt of Gruys Johnson 6 Associates were
present at the Council meeting to briefly review the 1986 Audit Report
recently completed. Mr. Borden highlighted some of the financial
changes in the reporting procedures for the City, including a major
change in how the special assessment funds are now shown. Mr. Borden
noted that the accounting changes for special assessment funds now
show that revenue will be recognized when collected instead of when
initially assessed as they have been in the past. In addition, Mr.
Borden noted that the City is in excellent financial condition.
Motion was made by Slonigen, seconded by Fran Fair, and unanimously
carried to accept the 1986 Audit Report as presented.
13. Consideration of Specifications for the Proposed Purchase of a Dump
Truck for Public works.
Public works Director, John Simola, noted that as part of the 1987
Budget, funds were budgeted for the replacement of the 1975 International
Snowplow truck. Three separate specifications were prepared for
a 35,000 pound groes vehicle weight, single axle truck; a 12 -foot
box and hoist; and a snowplow wing, hitches, sander, and accessories.
It is recommended that the City solicit separate bids on a truck
chassis only and bids on a snowplow, wing, sander, and accessories
separately and authorize the public works department to solicit Quotas
on a box and hoist assembly.
Mr. Simola noted some minor changes in the specifications for the
truck chassis regarding plastic headlights, a change in the wheal
base to 108 inches, and additional clearance behind the cab, a motion
was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Dan Blonigan, and unanimously
carried to approve the specifications as presented and authorize
the advertisement for bids for the truck and snowplow equipment and
authorize obtaining quotas from two vendors for the dump body.

Council Agenda - 7/13/87
4. Consideration of Awarding Bide for the Purchase of a Dump Truck and
Ancillary Equipment. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
On Thursday, July 9, 1987, the City of Monticello received bids and
quotes for a new truck, dump body, and snowplow equipment to replace
the 1975 International. We received two bids for the truck, five
bids for the snowplow equipment, and two quotes as solicited for
the dump body. I have enclosed a bid tabulation for your review.
The bids for the truck came in approximately $293 &part with Ford
being the low bidder. Prior to our recommendation for award, the
City staff Is checking out several concerns with the Ford bid. Our
concerns revolve around the extended delivery time, the new unproven
Ford diesel engine, the possible lack and effects of not having an
integral front frame extension, and the spring capacity. The staff
will check into these questions and have a recommendation on the
truck for Monday evening's meeting.
The snowplow equipment showed a wide variety of bids with $40 difference
between the first and second bidders considering all the equipment,
but $1,145 difference between the first and second bidders utilizing
base bid item 01. The bids are further complicated in that both low
bide include snowplow equipment which comes in under the approved
equal clause of the specifications. The staff, therefore, finds
it necessary to do further investigation of the Universal snowplow
equipment and the Falls Expressway plow proposed by these vendors.
We may or may not have sufficient information to reach a decision
at Monday night's meeting in regards to award of bide on the snowplow
equipment.
The quotes we solicited for the dump body are for equipment meeting
our specifications. There is $1,491 difference between the two vendors,
with Crysteel Manufacturing of Fridley. Minnesota, being the low
bidder at 58,271. We, therefore, can clearly recommend at this time
that the dump body and hydraulics be awarded to Crysteal and will
again make that recommendation at Monday evening's meeting.
In regard to the overall cost versus the budget, utilizing the apparent
low blddere for the truck, snowplow equipment, and body, we arrive
at a figura of $50,906.84. This is $793.16 under our budget figure
of $51,700. We have had one additional cost incurred that wan not
known during budget preparation. The State of Minnesota, in its
ultimate wisdom, has seen fit to charge vehicle uxcise tax at the
rate of 6 percent to cities. This would be for all equipment on
the truck from the dealers. Utilizing the not bid from Ford, for
example, of $31.631.84 would give us a sales tax or excise tax, if
you wish to call it, of approximately $1,900. This was not budgetted
for, so we would be over budget in excess of $1,000. The final figure
may be toes than this depending on which equipment is approved.
me
Council Agenda - 7/13/87
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Alternative number one would include the award of the truck to
Monticello Ford or Hoglund Bus, depending upon our final research,
and ordering same so that it may be here for the installation
of the rest of the equipment. We would also expect to award
the truck body to Crysteel Manufacturing. The snowplow equipment
could then be awarded based upon our research on Monday evening.
2. The second alternative would include the award of the truck and
the dump body but would delay award of the snowplow equipment
until July 27 to allow for further research time if necessary.
This again would allow the truck and the box to be delivered
in time for the upcoming snowplow season.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff will make its final recommendations at Monday evening's
Council meeting.

5. Consideration of Awarding Bids for Improvement Projects 87-1 and
87-2, Otter Creek Road and Liquor Store Parking. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The City received three bids for the above -referenced project on
Thursday, July 9, 1987. A copy of the bid tabulation is enclosed
for your review. The low bidder, Buffalo Bituminous, based upon
the estimated quantities, bid $10,465 for the realignment of Otter
Creek Road, and $28,000 for the Hiway Liquors parking lot.
The bid for Otter Creek is $965 above my last estimate. This places
the total cost of the project, including engineering design and inspection
services, in the area of 512,800.
A bid of $28,000 for the Liquor Store parking lot expansion is $500
below our last engineering estimate. This places the total cost
for the Liquor Store expansion, including design engineering and
inspection but omitting lights and sign; at approximately $31,000.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative is to award the projects to Buffalo Bituminous,
the low bidder, in the amount of $38,465.
2. The second alternative would be to not award the project to Buffalo
Bituminous.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is the recommendation of the Public works Director that we award
the projects to Buffalo Bituminous as outlined in alternative number
one.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Copy of the bid tabulation.
-NOTE: The City will be working with Olson Electric to keep lighting
coats lose than $5,000 and will continue working on a sign
and landscaping plan.

Council Agenda - 7/13/87
6. Consideration of Adopting Final Report to State on Pay Equity -Comparable
Worth. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The final report on local government pay equity is now prepared and
ready to be sent to the Department of Employee Relations of the State
of Minnesota. Virtually nothing substantive has changed since you
saw the entire comparable worth study last December. What is being
included for your review is a photocopy of the packet that will be
sent to the State. The entire comparable worth study report is in
the Administrator's office and runs approximately 80-85 pages. That,
of course, doesn't include the two cardboard boxes full of data that
we have assembled during this study.
In order to save time and money. I have not asked Karen to prepare
a copy of the study in its entirety for each of you. Rather, there
are a couple of master copies that will stay at City Hall and certainly
will be available for your review. Further, like any public document,
it is available for public review and can be purchased by paying
the standard photocopying price.
The results of our pay equity study show that the adjustments we
made in 1987 to salariee brings all employee positions into equitable
relationships. Under the law, the City must now maintain equitable
pay relationships. The job evaluation system prepared by Control
Data is still available so that occupational analysis questionnaires
and time spent profiles can be prepared and ranked for new jobs which
may develop in the future or for jobs which are modified in the future.
Point values for new or modified jobs would have to be plugged into
the job hierarchy to det9rmine the equitable relationships. AS salaries
increase over the years, the pay ranges will have to be modified
to accommodate equitable relationships. The mechanism for maintaining
those equitable relationships is now in place.
D. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS :
1. Adopt, as final, the final report on pay equity and order the
forma submitted to the State of Minnesota.
2. Do not adopt the final report - I would request some indicator
as to why the report would not be considered final.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the final report be adopted and the forms be
submitted to the State of Minnesota. The cover letter that will
accompany the submittal of the forma will stipulate that the pay
equity plan has boon established, but must remain tloxible to accommodate
any amendments to state law or amendments to position description.

Council Agenda - 7/13/87

BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO
ACCOMPANY LOCAL GOVERNMENT PAY EQUITY REPORTING FORM
The City of Monticello, Minnesota participated in the Control Data
Corporation Business Advisors Comparable worth Study. In accordance
with the reporting requirements, Monticello assembled salary data
effective July 1, 1984, in order to establish a pay equity plan.
A number of organizational and administrative actions required modification.
First, the entire wastewater treatment plant department was discontinued
in favor of contracting with a private firm. This constituted a
reduction of 21% of the study's participants across supervisory,
technical/professional, and support classes. Second, the Director
of Economic Development position, which had been a training program
partially funded by CETA in 1984, changed from a male incumbent to
a female trainee in 1985. The position, while not CETA supported,
was still considered a training position. Third, the Liquor Store
Manager position changed. The outgoing employee was an individual
with a number of years of service and the compensation was extremely
high for the job. The new manager -9 compensation was set in line
with the job points. Lastly, research showed that the Sr. Citizen
Director, which had been carried on City payroll, was not actually
a City employee and should not have been included in the study.
The Sr. Citizen position was returned to the jurisdiction of the
independent senior organization.
Because of the changes described, the City of Monticello developed
its pay plan based upon 1986 data. Three primary classes were established
to cover all City employees. Each class is then divided into two
oub-classoo representing 15 job points. It was determined that jobs
within a given 15 point class were comparable in value and ought
be comparable in compensation.
The attached graph/pay range was determined by plotting 1986 direct
compensation for all male employees. A pay lino was drawn, and a
pay corridor was established at 10% above and below the pay line.
The 20• corridor has boon determined to be comparable compensation
for jobs of comparable value.
in 1986, one employee was not within the appropriate pay range.
This employee was the then now Director of Economic Development,
who was under an on-the-job training arrangement. This position's
1987 salary was set in order to bring her into the proper pay range.
The City of Monticello'& pay range structure will remain at this
level until ordinary increases result in employee salaries exceeding
the maximum level. At this point, all salaries will need to be ro-plotted,
a now corridor established, and a now pay structure enacted.
Annual wago/salary increases shall be granted within the established
ranges and shall be based on a number of factors including, but not
limited to, performance and cost of living adjustments.

7. Consideration of Establishing Salary for New City Administrator. (T.E.)
Information will be reported by the subcommittee at Monday evening -a
meeting.

Council Agenda - 7/13/87
8. Consideration of a Resolution Naming Delegates to the Joint Airport
Commission. (O.K.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The Monticallo-Big Lake Joint Airport Commission Agreement states
that each city shall duly appoint two directors and one alternate
director. One of two directors shall be the City Administrator.
With the resignation of Administrator Tom Eidem and the appointment
of Rick Wolfeteller as City Administrator, the Council needs to appoint
Rick by resolution to the Joint Airport Commission. An alternate
director was never appointed by the City of Monticello. I have conversed
with William Fair, Council Member, and he agrees to the appointment
of alternate director.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. To appoint Rick Wolfateller by resolution ao a director of the
Joint Airport Commission and to appoint William Fair as alternate
director.
2. To deny appointment of Rick Wolfetellor by resolution as a director
of the Joint Airport Commission, and to deny appointment of William
Fair as alternate director to the commission.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the appointment of Rick Wolfeteller as a director
of the Joint Airport Commission and to appoint William Fair as alternate
director, thereby allowing continued progress on the Joint Airport
Commission.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Resolution of Appointment will be presented at the Council meeting.

9. Consideration of a Proposal to Create a Group Known as the Directors
of 1-wi�Licello's Developacnt. (O.K.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Based on the Director of Monticello Development's organizational
sheet presented to the City Council, June 22, 1987, and after clarification,
the organization as proposed appeare illegal for many reasons. The
City Attorney is preparing a memo stating the illegalities and will
suggest a legal alternative. This memo will be delivered to the
City Hall on Monday, whereby a copy of the memo will be presented
to the Council members at the meeting. Staff suggests no action
be taken at this meeting, thereby allowing Council time to review
the memo for action at the next scheduled Council meeting.

Council Agenda - 7/13/87
10. Consideration of A4proving a Site and Design for the Construction
of a Gazebo in Ellison Park. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
In addition to the $55,000 PAI/DOT paid to the City for the acquisition
of park land, we recently received $28,000 for the reconstruction
of a gazebo/bandstand. The existing bandstand will be destroyed
by MN/DOT, and they have paid the City's full asking price for the
structure. Throughout the course of discussions about what sort
of structure should replace the one that is being destroyed, a number
of concerns were aired with respect to siting and sizing. In one-
to-one conversations with each of you, I sense that we have a general
concurrence that the City ought not try to replace a "band shell"
if we're going to place such a structure in Ellison Park. While,
in fact, we all referred to the structure in East Bridge Park as
the bandstand, there is no binding, logical reason why we need to
create a band structure in Ellison Park. From a general design point
of view, a reasonable band shell would be too large for Ellison Park
and would tend to block out the view of the river. To simply build
a very large open air bandstand, of a similar open air design as
the one being eliminated, would generally create an appearance of
a pavilion and not a bandstand or gazebo at all. Consequently,
it is staff's recommendation (and I believe Council has concurred
in the past) that the City erect a reasonable size gazebo in Ellison
Park with the money we have acquired from MN/DOT. In the event that
a large "band shell" needs to be erected in the future, the City
should investigate ouch construction as a separate and independent
facility at a siting quite separate from the tranquility of Ellison
Park. That being the recommondation of the staff, we submit to you
our preferred choice of a gazebo for the placement in Ellison Park.
The gazebo is a kit prepared by Vixon Hill Gazebos. It is staff's
contention that a 21 -foot, slightly elevated, victorian style gazebo
could be effectively lnelalled at Ellison Park. The selected design
tends to emphasize the notion of Monticello being a river city.
The size is adequate to accommodate weddings and other similar social
events and would also be large enough to handle small musical ensembles.
It is not sufficient in size to accommodate a concert band. Considering
that Monticello does not have a community concert band, I'm not aura
why we would select a bandstand that could accommodate a non-existent
organization.
S. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Authorize the ordering of a 21 -foot victorian gazebo from Vixon
Hill.
2. Authorize the ordering of a 15 -foot victorian gazebo from vixon
Hill.
3. Lay the entire matter on the table to pursue alternate design
selectiona.
-9-
Council Agenda - 7/13/87
d. Elect not to construct a gazebo in Ellison Park.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Council authorize the 21 -foot victorian
gazebo be ordered. In order to blend well with the setting at the
park, we would like to get the system with the stairways and the
painted woodwork. we understand that periodic painting can become
a maintenance headache, but this is not a major structure that would
place inordinate demands on either staff or volunteer organizations.
The preferred design fits well in Ellison Park and will enhance the
overall setting.

selection (the photograph illustrates the 15 -foot, not the 21 -foot).
