SPECIAL MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
Monday, August 25, 1986 - 5:45 p.m.
A special meeting of the Monticello City Council was duly held at
5:45 p.m. in the City Hall Conference Room for the express purpose
of interviewing computer consultants. Members Present: Arve A.
Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Bill Fair, Jack Maxwell, Dan Blonigen. Absent:
None.
The Mayor called the meeting to order at 5:45 p.m. Ms. Anne Carroll,
representing Carroll, Franck 6 Associates, was present. Ms. Carroll
provided a brief background of her company and a list of previous
clients she has served. She then provided a brief summary and presentation
addressing the in-depth proposal that had been presented in response
to the City's request for proposals (RFP). Upon completion of her
presentation, Ms. Carroll responded to questions. City Administrator
Eidem inquired as to why Phase IB, System Analysis, was scheduled
to only take one week. Ms. Carroll responded that the one week time
line indicated when that phase would be completed after the completion
of the previous phase. She noted that Phase IS would be happening
concurrently with Phase IA. She also stated that based on her history
and experience, systems analysis was occurring virtually at all times.
Mayor Grimsmo asked Ms. Carroll whether or not she would be looking
to install state of the art systems or pre -established systems which
might be limited in use in the near future. Ms. Carroll indicated
that, at this point, it was impossible to say, since the evaluation
had not been done. She noted that the objective was to find a system
that performed the tasks the City desired, and not just buy a system
that could do many tasks. Dan Blonigen indicated his preference
that she evaluate a system that would be expandable so that the City
could stay close to the state of the art technology. Blonigen also
expressed concern that any system the City acquire be wall proven
in a government setting. Councilmember Fran Fair asked what role
Anne Carroll would play once the system was selected and installed.
Ms. Carroll responded that part of her proposal indicated that she
would be available for a full year to assist with implementation
and assimilation. She vent on to note that her objective is to phase
herself out gradually, not suddenly terminate the contract and leave
the City to its own devices. At the and of the questions, Mayor
Grimsmo gave Me. Carroll an opportunity to sum up her proposal. Upon
completion of the summary statement, Ms. Carroll was excused, and
the Mayor recessed the meeting for approximately five minutes.
Upon reconvening, the Council invited Mr. Bob Carlson of Gruys Johnson
and Associates and Mr. Jim Snyder of Management Advisors, Inc., into
the Conference Room. Mr. Carlson made the opening presentation on
the Gruys Johnson proposal. He noted that Gruys Johnson wished to
expand their capabilities in the computer field and had established
an affiliation with Management Advisors, Inc. He noted that Management
Advisors, Inc., would be the computer consultants, but Gruys Johnson,
fiC
V
Special Council Minutes - 8/25/86
as the City Auditors, would lend their financial expertise into evaluating
the needs assessment and the final RFP for a system. Mr. Snyder
provided some brief background on Management Advisors, Inc., noting
that they had worked for cities both in Minnesota and in Colorado.
He vent on to indicate that MAI was not exclusively a computer consultant,
but also offered the expertise of performing management audits, management
evaluation, and team building.
Mr. Snyder was asked if his home office was located in Colorado,
and he indicated it was. All Council members expressed a concern
about being able to respond promptly in times of need. Mr. Snyder
indicated that the personnel at Gruys Johnson would respond if he
were not in Minnesota. The question was then raised as to who would
handle a problem if the personnel at Gruys Johnson were not able.
Mr. Carlson responded that he would simply call Colorado to discuss
the issue.
The Council inquired as to whether or not in staff interviews any
departments were identified as perhaps being more troublesome than
others. Mr. Snyder responded that he felt the assessing department
might be problematical since the County Asseesor's Office was not
fully computerized as yet. He also noted that the deputy registrar's
department might be a problem since he had not seen any municipal
packages that tied directly in with the State system. Mr. Snyder
also indicated that there might be some training problems with respect
to staff reluctance to learn the system. Mr. Carlson and Mr. Snyder
wore given a brief opportunity to summarize their position, and the
interview was than ended.
During deliberation, Mr. Eidem responded that reference checks on
both firms indicated a high level of excellence and expertise. He
noted that all cities checked were extremely satisfied with performance.
He noted that the proposals submitted in response to the RFP were,
in his judgement. relatively equal. It was noted that the Carroll.
Franck 6 Associates proposal was $3,025.00 less than the Gruys Johnson
proposal. Some concern was expressed with respect to the Colorado
location of MAI, even though Gruys Johnson is located both in Monticello
and Buffalo. .
Motion by Blonig an, second by Fran Fair, and carried unanimously
to award the contract for computer consulting services to Carroll,
Franck 6 Associates for the stipulated price of $8,975.00.
There being no other business for the special meeting, the meeting
was adjourned.

REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL
Monday, August 25, 1986 - 7:30 p.m.
Members Present: Arve A. Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Bill Fair, Jack Maxwell,
Dan Blonigen.
Members Absent: None.
The August 25, 1986, regular meeting of the Monticello City Council
was duly held at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Monticello
City Hall. The meeting was called to order by the Mayor.
2. Approval of Minutes.
Motion by Maxwell, second by Blonigen, to approve the minutes of
August 11, 1986. Voting in favor. Arve A. Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Jack
Maxwell, Dan Blonigen. Abstention: Bill Fair.
3. Citizen Comments/Petitions, Requests and Complaints.
During Citizen Comments, Mr. Ken Catton requested an indication from
the City Council as to whether or not they would be amenable to amending
the City's zoning Ordinance to allow day care centers in commercial
zones. Mr. Catton indicated that he has been involved in day care
development for the last several years. He noted that he was in
the past affiliated with the Learning Tree Day Care Program. He
also noted that in virtually all instances, the day care proposal
required zoning changes and conditional use permits to allow the
proposal to exist In commercial zones. He went on to say that he
would like to start a day care cantor in Monticello and his experience
indicates that it should be located in a commercial zone.
Mayor Grimsmo acknowledged that this was not on the agenda but that
Mr. Catton had come to him late in the previous week with his inquiry
and that Mayor Grimsmo invited him to attend the mooting tonight.
Counciimembor Maxwell asked if the proposed site was along Highway 25
south of I-94. Mr. Catton stated that there were a number of sites
under consideration at present, but all ware commercially highway
zoned. Mayor Grimsmo asked the Council whether or not there was
any obvious objections to such a potential rezoning. He noted that
it would be difficult for Mr. Catton to assume all of the financial
responsibility to go through the entire rezoning process and than
moot with stiff opposition at the Council loyal. All Council members
indicated that there seemed to be no apparent objection. and that
the process prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance be followed.

4. Consideration of Executinq a Contract with PSG for the Operation
of the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Mayor Grimsmo acknowledged receipt of the report on the contract
negotiations with Professional Services Group and receipt of the
final statement from the City Attorney. Mr. Mike Robbins and
Mr. Steve Sunt of PSG were present. Mayor Grimsmo asked the Council
if they had any questions, this item having been discussed by the
Council for several months. Councilmember Fran Fair asked Mr. Robbins
if PSG was aware of the City Attorney's recommended language changes
in Article VI. Mr. Robbins indicated yes, they were aware of the
suggested changes and they had already been agreed upon between PSG
and the City. Mayor Grimsmo noted that the process had gone on for
a long time and that the discovery and review of the entire process
seemed to indicate satisfaction from all parties. Mayor Grimsmo
asked if the City Engineer had any conclusory comments. John Badalich
of OSM indicated that everything seemed to be in order and that they
were satisfied that the process was complete.
Motion by Fran Fair, second by Jack Maxwell, and carried unanimously
to enter a contract with Professional Services Group, commencing
September 1, 1986, for the operation and maintenance of the Monticello
Wastewater Treatment Plant facility.
5. Consideration of Granting, an Advance Guarantoe that a Ron -Conforming
Use clay be Rebuilt if it is ever Destroyed to more than 50% of its
Value.
Mr. Mike Lundquist, a realtor, spoke to the Council on behalf of
Mike Olson, also present, a potential buyer of property at 106 East 4th
Street. Mr. Lundquist noted that Mr. Olson had been having some
difficulty securing a mortgage since the property in question is
a non -conforming use under the terms of the Zoning Ordinance being
located in a 8-4 Zone. Apparently, the lending institution was reluctant
to provide the mortgage if 'the residence could not be rebuilt in
the event of damage to greater than 50% of the value. Mr. Lundquist
noted that their first response wes to sock assurances from the City
Council that if there were destruction by fire or some other catastrophic
cause, there would be provisions to allow rebuilding. Mr. Lundquist
noted that they had now found a financing resource that did not require
such a statement and that such a letter was not a necessity. He
did go on to note that a letter indicating the possibility of rebuilding
would be considered an &soot to the lending institution.
Administrator Eidom explained that such a letter should not be provided
since one Council cannot bind a future Council and further, such
a latter, guaranteeing a specific type of land use, would essentially
be re Zoning the parcel in conflict with the procedures outlined in
the Zoning Ordinance. Mayor Grimsmo and the Council concurred that
advance assurances could not be given by this Council, but Monticallo's
Councils had always boon receptive to reviewing case by case requests.
-2-
Council Minutes - 8/25/86
The Mayor noted that if the block were predominantly residential
and a structure was destroyed to more than 508 of its value, a
Council might evaluate the merits of allowing reconstruction. He
went on to note that the future development of the neighborhood would
have to be evaluated at the time a request for reconstruction came
in.
Mr. Lundquist then indicated a desire to have an assurance that a
building permit would be issued to allow the expansion. Again, being
that the ordinance prohibits the expansion of a non -conforming use,
the Council indicated that they could not guarantee the granting
of a building permit, but would indicate that they would review any
request as it comes up. Mr. Lundquist asked about other owners who
might face the same problem with mortgages and/or building permits.
Councilmember Fair indicated that it seemed that the problem was
predominantly caused by lending institutions, and that the City should
not be changing its ordinance to accommodate lending institution
policy. Upon consensus that the City Council could not grant advance:
guarantees or assurances, this issue was closed without formal action.
6. Consideration of Crantinq an Increase in the Individual Pension for
the volunteer Fire Fiqhters Relief Association.
Mayor Crimamo made an opening statement that he had attended the
last meeting of the Fireman's Relief Association and that they had
voted to increase their pension amount from S10.000.00 to $16,000.00
lump sum payment. The Mayor noted that that lump sum reflects a
20 -year term of $800.00 per year of service. The Mayor noted that
he had received information from the Finance Director that the increase
can occur without the need for tax levy. He noted that the last
increase occurred in the early 80's when the Relief Association increased
from $300.00 to 5500.00. As side notes, the Mayor indicated that
the City is looking at engaging a cleaning/custodial service for
the now Fire Hall so that the fire fighters won't have to take care
of the building, and that service should be provided soon. The Mayor
also noted that the City had investigated installing remote switches
in the fire trucks that would give them control over traffic signals.
Ito noted that the cost of installing the remote light control would
be approximately 533,000.00, and thus felt these control switches
would not be considered further. Returning the conversation to the
Relief Association, the Mayor asked the Council their position.
Couneilmomber Bionigan indicated he was totally opposed to putting
the City at risk to potentially have to levy taxes to fund the Association.
IIlonigen noted that the Association had the ability to raise their
pension amount to $575.00 without Council approval and that the cash
on hand would fully fund such a pension. Administrator Eidem indicated
that the financial workshaote indicated that the pension amount could
be increased to 516,000.00 without levy based solely on the revenue
generated by the State Piro Aid and interest income. The question
was raised by the Mayor with regard to if a number of members retired
at once, would the funding be depleted. Dave Kranz, member of the
.3-
Council Minutes - 8/25/86
Fire Department and Relief Association, responded that only two members
could retire this year. He noted that the Association required a
minimum of 20 years of service to retire and that the retiree must
be at age 50 before receiving any benefits. The Mayor asked what
would happen to the fund if the two qualified people retired plus
there were some injuries such that there was early retirement and
payment of immediate benefit. Eidem noted that the Relief Association
was funded on an accrual basis and that there was a certain historical
pattern built into keeping the Association funded. Eidem noted that
it was not uncommon to create a deficit in the accrued liability
when projections of state aids and investment income would cover
those deficits without tax levy.
Motion by Bill Fair, second by Fran Fair, to increase the Relief
Association pension from 510,000.00 to 516,000.00. Under discussion,
Jack Maxwell asked if it was true that the City would not ever levy
taxes to support this fund. Blonigen responded that the City must
levy if the fund should hit severe financial straights such that
it could not pay the benefits. The Mayor noted that it was projected
that the fund would not require levy; and if there was a drastic
avant, the City and the Relief Association would have to got together
to work out a solution. Voting in favor of the motion: Jack Maxwell,
Arvo Crimsmo, Bill Fair, Fran Fair. Voting in the opposition: Dan
Blonigen.
7. Consideration of Awarding the Acquisition of a Loader.
John Simola, public works Director, reported that the City received
two bids, one from Carlson's Lake Equipment and the other from Ziegler.
The groan bids as submitted ware $89,034.00 for a Caterpillar 936
submitted from Ziegler. Inc., and 579,000.00 for a John Deere 644D
submitted from Carlaon-s Lake State Equipment Company. Simola reviewed
with the Council the various alternatives that were includod in the
bid proposal, including guaranteed maintenance expenses, minimum
repurchase in five years, and guaranteed buy back and/or trade-in
value of the City's existing 1981 Caterpillar loader. Councilmember
Blonigan asked what the actual cash outlay would be if the City were
to buy the Caterpillar at this offer. Simola responded that the
cash would be $19,634.00. Simola then reviewed the 5 -year depreciation
schedule for both the Caterpillar and the John Deere and indicated
that over the five year projections, the Caterpillar equipment came
in at $2,279.17 less than the John Duero.
Motion by Maxwell, second by Blonigen, and carried unanimously for
the City to acquire a Caterpillar 936 loader.
8. The Mayor suspended the agenda at this time to make room for members
of the Monticello School District Administration and School Board.
The Mayor noted that the School Administration had approached him
with respect to the development of the selected middle school site,
-4-

Council Minutes - 8/25/86
80 acres south of the City lying west of County Road 118. Grimsmo
noted that the school had concerns because they hope to be ready
to accept students and start classes in the fall of 1988 and that
they had concerns with respect to the delay caused by the City/Township
conflict over annexation. The Mayor noted that the Minnesota Municipal
Board had scheduled an annexation hearing for September 10. Eidem
informed the Council that he had been notified by Pat Lundy of the
Minnesota Municipal Board that they had received a request to delay
the hearing. He noted that the request had not yet been acted upon
by the Municipal Board. The Mayor noted that it seemed that the
school district had two options. First, the school district could
wait for the annexation to be complete before taking any construction
action, or second, the school district could build in the Township
and request the City to provide public services beyond their corporate
limits. The Mayor noted that there is a third option that seems
unrealistic, and that is for the school to build in the Township
and construct their own sower and water systems. Sheldon Johnson,
Superintendent of the school district, stated that the real concern
of the school district is over public utilities, namely, can the
school be served before annexation is complete. Councilmember Fran
Fair asked if there were any legal problems with extending services
beyond the City limits, providing there is full agreement on how
such extension would occur. Eidem indicated there were no legal
problems. The Mayor noted that there was no action required on this
issue, only that he wanted the Council to be fully aware of the school's
position as the City enters the annexation hearing procedure.
9. Consideration of Ratifying an Agreement with the Minnesota Department
of Transportation for the Maintonance of Traffic Signals.
A joint agreement between the Minnesota Department of Transportation
and the City of Monticello was presented for adoption. The agreement
calls for joint financial participation for the installation of traffic
signals at the intersection of County Road 75 and Highway 25, the
intersection of 7th Street and Highway 25, and the intersection of
Oakwood Drive and Highway 25. Financial participation required of
the City will be $13,300.00 for the City's share of the three brand
now signals, and an additional $8,802.00 for the City's share of
the temporary traffic signal which was installed at Oakwood Drive
and Highway 25, making the total local share of $22,162.00. Simola
noted that the City expects to enter an agreement with Wright County
to pay approximately one-half of the local share and consequently,
the City's liability would be $11,071.00.
Eidem noted that the formal documonts had been signed by the Mayor
and the Administrator the previous weak when a Council quorum could
not be assembled for formal action. Not wanting to delay construction
any further, Eidam indicated he sought the advice of the City Attorney
about signing the agreement with Council ratification to follow.
Eidam noted that the City Attorrev had indicated the procedure seemed
acceptable since the lighting agrebvant was ancillary to the major
Highway 25 reconstruction project agreement which the City had already
executed.
Council Minutes - 8/25/86
Motion by Fran Fair, second by Jack Maxwell, and carried unanimously
to ratify the traffic signal agreement with the State of Minnesota.
See Resolution 86-20.
10. Consideration of Granting Final Approval to the First Phase of a
Planned Unit Development Known as Victoria Square.
Mike Boner was present to present a final plat for the Planned Unit
Development to be known as Victoria Square. Administrator Eidem
explained to the City Council that this PUD had already been given
final approval by the City council, but due to the time lapse, it
required additional approval. He noted that the only significant
change from when the FUD was originally approved was with respect
to timing and phasing. Mr. Reher would like to go to final platting
and recording on Block 1, but leave outlots A-E at the preliminary
approval stage with final recording to come in development stages.
Mayor Grimsmo asked if the PUD could still handle a commercial day
care center, and Mr. Behar responded that it could in Phase II.
Motion by Councilmember Bill Fair to grant preliminary approval to
the Planned Unit Development known as Victoria Square. Second by
Jack Maxwell. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Fran Fair,
second by Bill Fair, and carried unanimously to grant final approval
to Block 1, Lots 1-55, in the PUD, Victoria Square, contingent upon
final conformance with engineering design standards.
11. Consideration of Granting a Variance for a Reduction in Required
Perking Spaces for the Monticello VFW.
The VFW has submitted a request for a variance to allow a parking
lot providing 28 spaces less than is required. The VFW had not had
a public hearing before the Planning Commission. The VFW had presented
to City staff a statomant signed by all adjacent property owners
within 350 foot waiving their right to a public hearing in front
of the Planning Commission. Councilmember Fair expressed soma concern
that the statement of waiver did not address the variance in detail,
but rather talked about the proposal of the VFW to expand their building.
He stated that tho property owners were asked to sign a statement
waiving objactions to the VFW's building expansion. Mayor Grimsmo
asked the VFW representatives if the adjacent property owners know,
in fact, what they were waiving. Sandy Tanner, representing the
VFW, indicated yea, she told them what the variance request was about.
Sha indicated that Gary Anderson, City Zoning Administrator, had
instructed her on how to go through this process. City Administrator
Eidem indicated that the point raised by Councilmembar Bill Fair
was significant. He noted that on one earlier occasion, in order
to facilitate tho parking lot expansion for the Hospital District,
the City staff had attempted to streamline the process by utilizing
atatemonts of waiver. He noted that the earlier attempt was, in
his estimation, reasonable since the majority of adjacent property
owners in tho Hospital District issue were party to the construction
activity. Eidem admitted that it was a side stepping of the formal
procedure, and the process had now coma back to haunt City staff.
Council Minutes - 8/25/86
Eidem noted that this was not meant to be an option for other property
owners, but simply a reaction to an emergency situation on behalf
of the Hospital District.
Motion by Blonigen, second by Bill Fair, to send the entire issue
back to the Planning Commission for a public hearing in accordance
with the terms and conditions of the Zoning Ordinance. Voting in
favor: Dan Blonigen, Bill Fair, Fran Fair, Jack Maxwell. Voting
in Opposition: Mayor Crimsmo.
12. Consideration of Bilis for the Month of August.
Motion by Fran Fair, second by Dan Blonigen, and carried unanimously
to pay all bills except final payment to Fullerton Lumber for the
construction of the City Fire Hall.
13. Consideration of a Promosal to Extend Sewer and seater Utilities Down
Minnesota Street.
John Simola, Public works Director, explained that the City anticipated
receiving a petition signed by 100% of the affected property owners
requesting the installation of sower and water on Minnesota Street.
Tom Holthaus, one of the affected property owners, indicated that
they had not yet received 100% of the signatures. Eidem informed
the Council that without 100% of signatures, the Council was not
in conformance with Minnesota Chapter 429 and no project decision
could be made at this time.
Simola did ask that the Council consider the design standard at this
time since a number of property owners in the Orderly Annexation
Area south of 1-94 were present to hear discussion. Simola stated
that the question at hand was whether or not to install the sewer
line at a depth sufficient enough to allow the extension beyond 1-94
and into the OAA in the future should annexation occur, or should
the line be installed at a -much shallower depth for the exclusive
benefit of the property owners submitting the petition. John Badaiich
indicated that the assessable portion of the sower would cost approximately
$13,000.00, while the City cost could be substantial based on the
depth and the amount of dowatoring required. The decision the Council
is faced with is whether or not to incur the added City coat for
future re -assessment to properties that may benefit after annexation.
Several OAA property owners indicated that before making any decision
or agreeing to anything, they would like to know the amount of tho
assessment. Eidem indicated that there would be no assessment at
this time, but simply that City cost would be recovered in the form
of an assessment when the services actually were extended into the
OAA. No individual assessments had been computed or realistically
could be computed at this time. Stuart Hoglund and Mal Wolters felt
that the City Council should install the proposed sower line at the
shallow depth thereby keeping It cheapest. Eidam noted that
such an action would necessitate a brand now sower lino in the event
there was an extension into the OAA. Eidem stressed that the only
-7- 0
Council Minutes - 8/25/85
queation that really ought to be addressed at this point is whether
or not the property owners currently in the OAA would be receptive
to eventually being served in the future, or would they be opponents
to annexation for an extended period of years. Eidem noted that
the City ought not consider extending any lines if the City would
meet with substantial opposition to the eventual growth. John Michaelis,
a property owner in the OAA, indicated he had talked to some neighboring
property owners, and that their position differed from that of Hoglund
and Mel Wolters. He indicated that he hoped the City would install
the line at this time to accommodate eventual expansion, hopefully
in the near future.
The Mayor concluded the discussion by saying that perhaps the completed
petition would be available at the September 8 meeting, and that
perhaps additional information might be available after the annexation
hearing. He noted that since the Council could not take action,
he would close this issue.
14. John S imola provided a brief update on the softball field construction.
He noted that the construction goal was to begin the seeding as of
September 10.
15. There being no other business, the Mayor adjourned the meeting.

Council Agenda - 9/8/86
4. Consideration of Ordering the Improvement of Minnesota Street as
Petitioned by Installing Sanitary Sever and water. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the last meeting we discussed the possibility of a sever and water
extension on Minnesota Street. Two of the property owners on Minnesota
Street were present, Tom Holthaus and Tom Brennan. The third property
owner, Marvin Kramer, was unable to attend. I spoke with Mr. Kramer
on the morning of September 4, and it is his intention to sign the
petition when presented to him by the other two property owners.
We have, therefore, again placed this item on the agenda.
Much of our discussion at the last meeting centered around whether
to install the line at a depth which would allow gravity sever from
a large portion on the south side of I-94. During that meeting there
were mixed feelings on the part of the property owners within the
City limits and the OAA on the south aide of I-94. As you may recall,
I made the recommendation that if there was not a way to recover
the oversizing and over -depth costs, the City should install the
line only to serve the petitioners. I made this recommendation because
of the anticipated high cost of such a deep sever. Since the meeting,
I have had time to rethink the situation; and I believe I have a
solution that would be in the beat interest of the City of Monticello
and those residents of the OAA area. At this time I think it would
be appropriate to install the sanitary sever at a shallow depth but
size it rather than a 10 -inch for commercial property, a 12 -inch
diameter line to handle additional flow south of I-94. I would propose
that we pick up the area south of I-94 by a lift station installed
at a low point somewhere near Olson -a Electric. We then pump the
sewage across 1-94 to a force main laid at a shallow depth to the
collector road where it would be discharged into a properly sized
shallow sanitary sever. The lift station and force main could then
be sized to take in just the,t area needed, and the cost of such a
force main and lift station would then be assessed to those property
owners benefiting from it. Evan with a lift station having to be
refurbished every 10 or 15 years with new pumps and possibly controls,
1 believe this would result in a lover cost per parcel assessment
for sanitary saver than the gravity system as originally proposed.
It would require some additional maintenance coats over and above
a normal gravity sanitary sever system, but I don't feel that those
costs would be significant.
I had a brief chance to discuss this proposal with Chuck Lepak of
OSM. He indicated that it was feasible but that many communities
often pay more to have gravity sanitary sever installed, so they
do not have the headaches of a lift station. In this particular
case, however. I feel it is appropriate.
Our original feasibility study indicated a cost for the standard
size shallow 10 -inch water main and B or 10 -inch sanitary sever would
be $15,000 and 813,000 respectively, for a total of 928,000.00.
CIO
Council Agenda - 9/8/86
The final feasibility report, however, included a figure for 57,060.00 •�
for restoration and more refining of the actual coat. This brought
the total cost for standard size water and sever to $33,700.00.
Tom Holthaus has indicated a willingness to do the restoration and
pay for the restoration as part of their up front money on this project.
This would bring the total cost of the project to be assessed at
$26,640.00. These are construction costs.
The City'e cost to oversize these lines would be $4,000.00 for the
water to go from a 10 -inch to a 12 -inch; and I believe it would be
in the neighborhood of $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 to go from the proposed
B or 10 -inch to a 12 -inch sanitary sever. This would bring the City's
cost to under 56,000.00.
If the City approves of the project, we must then get approval of
the three property owners involved based upon the estimated costs;
and the Council would then have to make a tentative agreement with
them regarding some up front money and possible assessment of the
construction coats. This should be worked out before the project
is ordered.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Alternative 01 is to do the project Shallow and oversized as
recommended by the Public works Director after making agreements
with the property owners.
2. Alternative M2 would be to not go ahead with the project in any
way, shape, or form.
3. Alternative 03 would be to go back to the idea of putting a gravity
sever in deep for that portion of the OAA area south of 1-94.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the recommendation of the Public works Director that we proceed
as outlined in Alternative Y1 attempting to make agreements with
the property owners for some up front money and assessments and plan
for a lift Station in the future. I would recommend that we hold
the $6,000.00 ovarsizing cost in soma sort of a fund to be assessed
to the benefiting property owners at a later date.

Council Agenda - 9/8/86
5. Consideration of Approvinq Change Order No. 4 to Construction Project
86-1. (J.S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
During the backfilling operations along the Burlington Northern Railway
between Cedar Street and Washington Street, the contractor was required
to thoroughly compact the backfill materials above the pipe as to
stabilize the soils for support of the nearby railroad tracks. When
the grading operations were completed, we became aware that we were
short of backfill material. It appears that the compaction operation
may have densified the soils in this area by at least 5%. We experienced
very few problems between Washington and Ramsey Street, as we had
excess material in this area due to regrading of an embankment for
the nearby apartments. The area between Ramsey Street and Cedar
Street, however, is a different story. In this particular area,
the area near the railroad tracks was already somewhat low and land
locked in that there was no drainage outlet provided for this area.
we hauled a significant amount of material in this area to bring
it back up to an acceptable elevation. we have a problem in that
water does pond on the railroad right-of-way and back lot lines on
the westerly end of this area just east of Cedar Crest Apartments.
An a solution, we propose to haul in some additional fill material
to raise this area again and to place a small pips underneath tho
Burlington Northern railroad tracks to drain the railroad ditch and
this area during periods of heavy rain. Under normal circumstances,
most of the rain will then soak away rather than run through this
pipe. This pipe would be approximately 40 feet long and discharged
to the south Burlington Northern railroad ditch, which discharges
directly to the storm sower on Cedar Street.
we have a change order enclosed in the amount of $2,450.00, which
includes the pipe and the jacking of the pipe under the railroad
tracks. The railroad has approved of the construction, given us
authorization and a pipeline permit to construct this drainage pipe.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to approve the change order no. 4
in the amount of $2,450.00 and install the drainage pipe in conjunction
with slightly raising the area also.
2. The second alternative would be to haul significant amounts of
material back in this area to bring the whole area back up to
the elevation it was at prior to the installation of the interceptor
sower. This would spread the rain water over a larger area,
but the area would still continue to be land locked, and it would
be difficult to gat grass or sod to grow.
9. The third alternative would be to do nothing. This does not
appear to be in the best interests of the City, nor would be
acceptable by those residents in the area.

Re: Utility Construction
Mile Post 35.0
Railroad Station 1849+00
Monticello, Minnesota
Dear Ms. Hayes:
The work in the City of Monticello as approved in your April 3, 1986 letter has
been completed; however, backfilling of the trench north of the tracks from
Station 1842+00 to 1853+00 has caused consolidation of materials. The ground
surface parallel to the tracks and 30-60 feet from the tracks is about one foot
lower than before construction. This low elevation and the consolidation of
materials is causing water to pond in this area and the water cannot seep into
the soils as rapidly as before construction. The standing water is Considered
a nuisance but could become a health or safety concern if not remedied. The
proposed drainage pipe will alleviate this situation.
The City of Monticello proposes to install a 10 -inch ductile iron pipe 40 feet
long at Station 1851+50 to drain surface run-off from the north side to the
south side of the tracks. In 1981, the City constructed a ditch on the south
side of the tracks for conveyance of total surface run-off. The proposed pipe
will be installed at elevation 927.3. The top of tie elevation is 930.5; there-
fore, the depth of the pipe from bottom of pipe to top of tie is 3.2 feet.
This clear distance is less than desirable but the flat terraine of the area
prevents any greater separation as the ditch outlet has an elevation of 926.9
approximately 400 feet west of the proposed crossing. Refer to attached photo
copy of your Exhibit "A".
The standing water is preventing ground surface restoration from being com-
pleted. It is therefore imperative that this plan be reviewed as soon as
possible to allow the area to dry and eliminate a nuisance condition. We would

like to do the crossing before August 31 if at all possible. As in other City
projects crossing the Burlington Northern tracks, a permit is not necessary
because the tracks are constructed on City street right-of-way. The permit
application form is enclosed, however, to facilitate your review process.
Please contact me at 331-8660 about the request to do the work by August 31, or
if you have any other questions.

Council Agenda - 9/8/86
6. Consideration of a Resolution Accepting Petitions from Kent Kiellberg
for Annexation and Requesting Action from the Minnesota Municipal
Commission. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
While it is uncharacteristic, it is not altogether unheard of, for
me to not provide you with advance information on an aqenda item.
Considering the entire question of annexation, the plot continues
to thicken. I have been informed by Gary Pringle that it is the
recommendation of Howard Dahlgren 6 Associates and OSM to amend our
original resolution to reduce our original annexation request. This
doesn't have to be a problem. on Wednesday of this week. I received
two separate petitions for the annexation of lands south of the City
and lying along Highway 25 from Kent Kjellberg. At the last City
Council meeting John Michaelis spoke on behalf of himself and other
property owners indicating that they were not in agreement with Stuart
Hoglund that annexation should be delayed for a considerable period
of time.
All of the various factors attached to evaluating the entire annexation
question have generated a general state of chaos. Because of the
late date of receiving all of this information, it is virtually impossible
to provide in-depth evaluations and scenarios. Logistically. I simply
cannot assemble ail of the required data and graphics, get them to
Karen for reproduction, and get them distributed by Friday afternoon.
Hance, I ask your indulgence.
My goal is to provide you with some preliminary sketches at this
time and continue to work on the entire issue in order to provide
you some information in advance of the meeting Monday. As soon as
we have information assembled into a reasonably coherent package.
I will have Karon distribute them. I realise this creates an inconvenience
for you in terms of preparing for the meeting, but I believe that
the influx of material puts circumstances beyond my control.
Soma of the questions that will need to be addressed, but for which
I have no recommendation nor answers, are as follows:
1. Should we amend our original petition by deleting certain lands?
2. Should we accept the petitions presented by Kjollberg an is,
or should we alter the description and add or reduce the amount
of land In question?
3. Should we request the Municipal Board to consider the Kjellberg
petitions as part of our original resolution and petition to
the Municipal Board?
0. Should we re-invastigate the conclusions of the Orderly Annexation
Study that indicated annexation was appropriate for the entire
OAA?
mr
Council Agenda - 9/8/86
5. While we have expressed our willingness to cooperate with the
school district, is it best for the City to concede to the notion
of accepting 80 acres automatically, without receiving additional
lands? The question here is ought the City accept 80 acres of
tax exempt land which will carry with it enormous expense to
the City, but generate absolutely no benefit to the tax payers
of the City. Basically, the Township is more than willing to
dump the financial responsibility of serving this area onto the
City tax payers. The question then is ought we be so willing
to accept the 80 acres if it should be ruled that only that 80
acres will be annexed?
6. Can the City continue to afford to look to its growth and planning
on a piecemeal basis while continuing to subsidize Township living?
Granted, Council discussion Monday night will not answer all of these
questions in depth. The first few questions need to be addressed
prior to the convening of the public hearing on Wednesday, September 10.
If the Council chooses to amend its petition by deletion of certain
lands or to amend its position by the addition of the Kjellbarg request,
those amendmento can be introduced at the hearing on Wednesday morning.
There are no alternative actions, nor staff recommendations at this
time, but I will try to assemble some reasonable document by Monday
afternoon. I am enclosing some maps which will indicate the lands
that are currently under discussion.

7. Consideration of Grantinq Approval for an AQelication for 3.2 Beer/
Wine License - Applicant, Kenneth S. Chew. (R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. Kenneth S. Chew has recently applied for a combination on -sale
wine and 3.2 beer license for his new restaurant which will be located
in the Monticello Mall addition. The name of the restaurant will
be Ginchee and will be oriental in nature. Mr. Chew plans on opening
the restaurant sometime around October i, but possibly later depending
on the completion date of the expansion at the mall.
A reference check has been completed by the Wright County Sheriff's
Department with no adverse conditions that would prohibit the issuance
of this license. The applicant has been made aware of the surety
bond requirements and liability insurance requirements and will be
supplying these to the City staff prior to issuance of a license,
if approved by the Council.

It is the staff's recommandation that the on -sale wine and beer license
be approved contingent upon proper submission of surety bond and
liability insurance coverage. The annual fee of $400.00 would be
pro -rated effective with the date the license is issued.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:

8. Consideration and Review of the Proposed 1987 Budget of the SWCd. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Each year the Cable Commission adopts its own budget for the upcoming
year. The primavy revenue source for the Commission is the contribution
from each of the member cities based upon the weighted vote for each
city. As in the past, the City will submit its annual contribution
along with an invoice to the Commission requesting reimbursement
of franchise cable fees. This process is primarily a pay-out/pay-in.
The City is always fully refunded for its cable contribution. Similarly,
as cable use within the City grows, our share of the franchise fee
will increase.
As noted in Barb Guffey's letter, the Council need not take formal
action since their membership in the Joint Powers has delegated the
budgetting authority to the Commission. I believe it would be good
for record keeping to have a motion ratifying the City's participation
and the Commission budget for 1987.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Ratify budget.
2. withdraw from the Commission.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the Council ratify the budget for the upcoming year.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Copy of the Commission budget; Copy of the cover letter from Barb Guffey,
Cable Administrator.

ll, fJ
RE: 1987 Commission Budget
Enclosed please find a copy of the Sherburne:Wright County Cable Communications
Commission 1987 budget. The Commission approved the budget at its regular meeting
of August 20, 1986.
This budget is sent to you in accordance with the provisions of the Joint Powers
Agreement for the Commission in Article X1, Section 4, which provides for a passive
review of the Commission budget by the Cities. The budget will be deemed approved by
your City unless the City gives notice in writing to the Commission prior to October 15
that it is withdrawing from the Commission.
Please have your City Council review the enclosed budget; however, no formal action
need be taken to approve it. The Commission will adopt the final 1987 budget on or
before November 1, 1986.
Also enclosed please find a listing of each City's contribution to the Commission.
The Joint Powers Agreement provides that total contributions from the Cities will be
assessed to each member proportionally according to the number of votes on the
Commission. Thus, please have your City review its contribution requirements and
promptly remit a check to the Commission, as well as an invoice for the amount of
your check, The Joint Powers Agreement provides that a director is ineligible to
vote on behalf of the director's municipality during the time it is in default on
any contribution or payment to the Commission.
Please remit your City's contribution to the Commission to Barbara Guffey. SWC4 Cable
Administrator, 250 East Broadway, Monticello City Hall, Monticello, PD1 55362. Upon
receipt of the contributions from the Member Cities. as well as your invoice for that
amount, the Commission will then reimburse the Cities.
Thank you for your cooperation, and please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.

Council Agenda - 9/8/86
9. Consideration of Settinq a Special Meetinq to Consider the 1987 preliminary
Budget. (T.E.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Each year after the preliminary budget has been prepared, the City
Council has met in special session for approximately 1%-2 hours to
review the goals and policies and the expenditure plans for the upcoming
year. Even though I am attempting to emphasize programming and performance
budgetting, it is still essential that the Council meet to discuss
the programs and the level of performance they hope to achieve.
Staff anticipates having the preliminary budget completed by Friday.
September 19. Consequently, I would ask that the City Council plan
a special budget meeting anytime from September 22 on. In the past,
we have met at 7:00 a.m. A simple motion is all that is required
to set a special meeting for this matter.
There are no alternative actions, staff recommendation, nor supporting
data for this item.
