Council meeting voicing their concerns regarding the dilapidated rental
house were a number of nearby property owners. Spokesperson for their
group, Jerry Clemette, noted that the old gray building is an eyesoar and
needs to come down. It also represents a public safety hazard and its
preSellle reuuues lice PVUEMtty values of rile nearby buildin9b, van
Blonigen asked if the building is rentable. Building Inspector, Gary
Anderson noted that the building is not fit for habitation at this time
and that it would be very expensive to make the improvements to the
building that would be required prior to allowing habitation of the
building.
At this point, Staff and City Attorney, Tom Hayes, outlined the abatement
proceedure. Being no further discussion, motion made by Bill Fair to
proceed with procedures required for the abatement of the dangerous
building owned by Clifford Olson at 100 East Fourth Street. Motion
seconded by Dan Blonigen, motion passed unanimously.
5. Consideration of Concept Plan for Development of Infectious Waste Disposal
Facility.
Art Fretag, of North Central Laboratories, presented a concept plan for
development of an Infectious waste Disposal Facility in Monticello.
Mr. Fretag requested Council feedback regarding the potential development
of this plant prior to development of full scale plans. Mr. Fretag noted
that the facility would be highly regulated by the Pollution Control
Agency and all activities associated with the plant create no public
safety hazard. He noted that the loading and unloading of materials is
done completely within the facility. Mr. Fretag went on to state that in
the past, this type of waste has been sent to landfills, now however,
hospital waste must be incinerated.
Council member Fair asked Fretag to describe some of the state regulations
governing the operation he is proposing. Fretag remarked that the PCA is
very aggressive and a facility such as his are monitored closely. Council
1
Council Minutes - 7/25/88
member Fran Fair asked what types of vehicles will be utilizing the
facility. Fretag noted that all materials coming in and out the structure
are brought in small containers by marked white vans. He went on to note,
hospital waste burning process of the Big Lake/Monticello Hospital is not
as clean as that which is being proposed with the facility under
consideration. Fretag stated that the facility would employ six people
plus a sales person and will have a taxable value of $210,000. Fran Fair
asked where this facility would be located. Fretag replied that there are
industrial sites available at Oakwood Industrial Park area that would
suite his company's needs.
Fran Fair requested more information regarding the facility and it's
operations prior to giving her full support. Council member Bill Fair
requested that City Staff distribute to Council the state regulations
governing such facilities he also stated that he would like more
information prior to giving full support. Council member Blonigen stated
that we must make sure that it is a clean facility, that we do not want
Monticello to be known as the garbage dump for the state. As the
discussion concluded on this topic was the general consensus of the
Council that the development of an Infectious waste Disposal Facility
would not be rejected at the stage and that it could receive potential
support from the Council after review of more specific details on the
operations and regulations pertaining to the facility.
6. Consideration of Replatting Request to Replat an Existing Lot into Eight
(8) townhouse Lots and one (1) Cuim un Ared Loc. Applicant, Jay Miller.
Motion by Warren Smith, seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve the replatting
request. Motion passed unanimously.
7. Consideration of Simple Subdivision Request. Applicant, Don Bauer.
Staff informed Council that the lots, when subdivided, will meet the
minimum width and square footage required by City Ordinance.
After discussion, motion by Fran Fair, seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve
the simple subdivision as requested. Motion passed unanimously.
8. Consideration of Concept Approval of a Replat of Portion of "Meadows"
Subdivision, Utilities Installation, and Re -Assessment of 81-1 Project
Assessments.
John Sandberg, Tom Holthaus, Dayle Veches, and Dan Frie, were in
attendance for this agenda item.
City Administrator, Wolfsteller, outlined the proposal submitted by John
Sandberg. Wolfsteller noted that the proposal presented to Council has
not been reviewed by the Planning Commission as of yet, that the
aevelopers are seeking input regarding a number of concessions from the
City prior to preparing a preliminary replat. The developers are
requesting that the City Council consider financing and reconstructing the
street curb and gutter, and utility extentions throughout the plat and
assessing 100 percent of the cost along with approximately $400,000 in
current delinquent assessments against 20 of the 27 originally created
Council Minutes - 7/25/98
lots. As part of the proposal, Mr. Sandberg indicated that they would be
willing to continue Marvin Elwood Road in a northwesterly direction and
connect River Street through a corner of the former Edger Klucas
property. This would provide access from the subdivision through River
Street and pos-sibly divert some of the traffic from going through the
"Meadows" and "Anders Wilhelm" to get to River Street.
Wolfsteller went on to note that although it is proposed by the developers
to create approximately 27 single family lots, they are requesting that
only 20 of the lots be assessed for improvements with the remaining 7
being free of any outstanding assessments. The rational for this is that
they would be able to sell the 7 lots without any assessments and use this
money to pay off their outstanding bank loans. Developers have indicated
that unless the City is agreeable to 1) approval of the proposed replat,
2) financing of the utility and street construction within the new
subdivision, and 3) agreeing to re -assess the delinquent assessments
totaling approximately $40,000 to all 20 of the newly created lots, the
developers feel it would not be feasible to develop the property on their
own and would let it sit vacant. Furthermore, the likelyhood of the
development of multi -family dwellings in this area will be increased as
the existing utilities can be used to service mutli-family development in
the area.
Council member Bill Fair noted that respreading of assessments leaves the
City out on a limb, he wondered what assurance does the City have that the
asross:,ents on the 4 remaininy lots would be paid. It was noted by Dan
Frie that the lots without the assessments need not necessarily be sold
first, and that an agreement could be struck wereby the lots with
outstanding assessments could possibly sold first or simultaneous to the
selling of the 7 lots without assessments. Frie also noted that the
"Meadows" development has a good track record in terms of payment of
assessments. City Administrator, Wolfateller concerned that they have
done a good job in paying off assessments.
Dan Blonigen noted that we trey be setting a bad precident by approving the
proposal unless a tradeoff or special circumstance can be demonstrated.
Council member Bill Fair noted that the City should negotiate with the
developers and that the alternative of development of multiple family
homes in the area is not a good alternative for the area. Fran Fair asked
what can be done to clean up the Kiucas problem. Dan Frio noted that once
the "Meadows" is fully developed then the developers will be in a position
to work on developing the ajoining property.
The concensus of the Council was to direct Staff and Developers to
negotiate on terms for paying back assessments associated with the
proposed improvements.
9. Consideration of Committee Report on Closure of River Street Access to
Highway 25.
Council members Smith and Blonigen reported on the Committee
recommendation. They noted that after looking at seven options originally
layed out by Traffic Engineer, Jack Anderson, that the Committee's almost
unanimous recommendation was that the intersection be redesigned to
Council Minutes - 7/25/88
safetly accomodate all traffic movements. It was suggested by the
Committee that installation of semiphores be utilized to insure the safety
of individuals utilizing that intersection. Fran Fair was concerned that
it would be difficult to develop a safe intersection, and that street
closure should be seriously considered. Dan Blonigen noted that by
closing River Street, traffic would be diverted to Broadway, which will
reduce the safety and increase traffic at the Broadway and Highway 25
intersection. Bill Fair stated that safety is the primary concern at
River Street and Highway 25 intersection. Mayor Grimsmo supported
development of an option that would create the safest situation for
pedestrians and motoring public.
Motion by Bill Fair to direct Minnesota Department of Transportation to
design and install all improvements necessary to assure safe movement of
all traffic movements at the intersection of State Highway 25 and River
Street. Motion seconded by Warren Smith, motion passed unanimously.
10. Consideration of Water Tower Design, Elevation, and Pressure.
City Engineer, Badalich, reviewed the design features of a number of stand
pipe reservoirs. After his presentation, Council selected a design of a
water reservoir standpipe located in Deer River, Wisconsin. Motion made
by Fran Fair, seconded by Warren Smith to direct City Engineer to redefine
cost estimates of the water tower project based on the design of the
reservoir located in Deer River, Wisconsin. Motion passed unanimously.
No author'_23ticr. to co.,.plete design of standpipe reservoir was providea by
Council.
A discussion of the proposed elevation of the average water level insued.
The concensus of Council that the average water level should be set at
1105 with a low level of 1074. John Simola noted that the City can bring
the pressure up slowly thereby allowing the City to monitor the impact of
the higher pressure on the plumbing located in some of the older
structures of the community. City Administrator, Wolfsteller noted that
the City may not wish to install pressure reducing valves in individual
homes as the City may be liable for the problems that might occur in the
years to coma.
11. Consideration of odor Control Measures at waste Water Treatment Plant,
Public Work Director, Simola, reported to Council that the Waste Water
Treatment Plant trickling filters need to be back on line in order to
control odors eminating from the Waste Water Treatment Plant. He went on
to say that PSC has investigated various odor control systems for
trickling filters. He noted that the best alternative for the City at
this time is to authorized PSG to purchase the spray mist odor control
system from Tech Sales Company of Minneapolis, in the amount of $3,885
plus installation materials, and to authorize PSG and Staff to install the
system. To reimburse PSG up to $6,000 annually for chemical usage to
control odors. He went on to say that this is the most cost effective
means to control odors in the trickling filter area. It allows the
flexibility to operate the system utilizing various chemicals.
After discussion, motion by Bill Fair, seconded by Fran Fair to authorize
PSG to purchase the spray mist control system from Tech Salta Company for
the amount of $3,885.30 plus installation materials and to authorize PSG
and Staff to install the system and to reimburse PSC up to $6,000 annually
for chemical usage to control odors. Motion passed unanimously.
A
Council Minutes - 7/25/88
12. Consideration of Sealcoating Hillcrest Area to Chestnut Street.
Public Works Superintendent, John Simola provided Council with
Alternatives for maintenance of subject streets. He noted that
sealcoating the streets in the area will slow down the deterioration rate
of the streets which will extend the life of the streets for five year.
The other option is to reconstruct the streets sooner, utilizing
sealcoating funds for reconstruction.
After discussion, motion to advertise for bids for sealcoating of
Hillcrest area to Chestnut Street made by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Bill
Fair. Motion passed unanimously.
13. Consideration of Purchase of Park Equipment for Meadow Oak Park and Par
West Park.
Residents from the Meadow Oaks Development were in attendance for this
agenda item. A resident of the area asked, if a fence is planned around
the drainage pond in the Meadow Oaks Subdivision. Park Superintendent,
Mack stated that a fence is not planned for the pond area because it was
considered to be far enough away from the Meadow Oaks play area. In
addition, the level of the pond are not constant and it would very
difficult to establish the proper placement of the fence.
Council member Bill Fair asked if the park equipment has been budgeted
for. StaLL inLvuueJ Liar the equipment is in rhe Cicy budget. There
being no further discussion. Motion made by Bill Fair to authorize
purchase of landscape structure from E. F. Andersen in the amount of
$4,700 and authorize purchase of 3 -unit swing set from E. F. Andersen in
the amount of $1,470. Motion seconded by Fran Fair, motion passed
unanimously.
14. Consideration of Permit and Fee Adjustments.
Assistant City Administrator outlined recommendations made by the
Industrial Development Committee regarding a proposed reduction in the
overall cost for residential building permits in the City of Monticello of
approximately 20 percent. O'Neill then outlined two methods by which the
20 percent reduction could be accomplished. Alternative /1 included
modification of survey requirement and reduction in the plan review fee.
Alternate 02 included maintaining the full survey requirement and a large
reduction in the plan review fee. Both alternative included a 10 percent
reduction in the building inspection fee.

percent reduction in building inspection fee, 85 percent reduction in plan
review fea, and continued requirement of a survey. Motion seconded by
Warren Smith, motion passed unanimously.

situation and provide a permit or direct staff to enforce the ordinance
accordingly.

permission to utilize the boulevard for placement of articles on a short
term basis and that motion including direction to Staff to enforce the
ordinance as it now exists. Motion included granting of permits
associated with the Crazy Days Activity. Motion by Warren Smith, seconded
by Fran Fair. Motion passed unanimously.
16. Consideration of Awarding Bids on Pump and Pumphouse /3.
Tom Hayes was in attendance to review a letter from the second high
bidder, Phillips 6 Klein Company, Inc., which claimed that the bid
submitted by the low bidder should be rejected because of the absence of
affidavit of non -collusion in the original bid. Tom Hayes noted to
Council that the City has received the letter of affidavit of
non -collusion from the low bidder and that the City now has a complete bid
package. He went on to say that the bid of the low bidder is legitimate
and that the Council must determine that if it is in the best interest of
the City to award the bid to the low bidder based on the ability of the
low bidder to complete the project. In his discussion, Hayes noted that
in a similar situation, the state rejected because of the absence of the
letter of non-coliusior. iu Lurn, cite Wurttl ruled thdc the stares action

package necessary for the establishment of the company in the City of
Monticello.
Mayor Orimsmo noted that the $10,000 would be paid only if the company located
in the community. Bill Fair stated that he would support the concept of paying
the consultant for his work to get the company into Monticello only if the
company to be located here meets an acceptable standard in terms of employee
numbers and average wage. In addition, the company should not negatively
impact the quality of life in the community. Council incurred with Bill Fair's

COMMUNITIES JOIN MINNESOTA'S 1990
CELEBRATION AS CHARTER MEMBERS
ST. PAUL -- Twenty-five cities, two counties and one Indian
reservation have joined Celebrate Minnesota 1990 as charter members,
leading the way in preparing for the state's big homecoming in 1990.
Launched by Governor Rudy Perpich and approved by the Legislature,
Celebrate Minnesota 1990 is a challenge to all communities in the state to
show off for visitors in the next two years.
The statewide celebration is built around the U.S. Olympic Festival,
one of the world's largest gatherings of amateur athletes, being held in
{_ the Twin Cities area in July 1990.
"This is an opportunity for the whole state to shine. We're going to
be on display for thousands of visitors," Perpich said.
"But beyond that, it's a time for every community to take stock and
see what can be done to shape our own future as we usher in the final
decade of the 20th century," the Governor added.
The Minnesota legislature has approved a $700,000 matching grant
program for eligible participating communities. Application forms will be
ready in July from the Community Development Division of the state
Department of Trade and Economic Development.
The grants, which must be matched 3 -to -1 in cash or services by local
governments, can be used for cleanup and fixup projects, landscaping of
community entrances and public activity areas, preserving historic
structures, or a variety of other projects geared to the 1990 celebration.

The goal of the program is to encourage each community to plan an
improvement project, then use that project as the centerpiece of a reunion _J
or homecoming celebration in 1990.
Brochures describing the program were mailed throughout the state,
inviting communities to join as official members. Special signs are being
designed to identify participating communities.
Communities are being urged to plan special mail campaigns to invite
former residents back to Minnesota for 1990 events.
Gerry Nelson, project director of Celebrate Minnesota 1990, described
the concept as "a homemade celebration -- one that taps the creativity of
citizens to better the places we call home."
"We see it as an opportunity for every community to showcase its
strengths," Nelson said. "It'll be a celebration built on community pride
and a sense of optimism about our state's future."
David J. Speer, commissioner of the Department of Trade and Economic
Development, said many community improvement programs already in existence
can be used as vehicles for 1990 celebration projects. These include
Minnesota Beautiful, the Governor's Design Team, the Minnesota Community
Improvement Program, Star Cities and Minnesota Main Street.
The now Minnesota Clean Rivers Project, based in the Department of
Natural Resources, will assist communities in cleaninq up riverbank .funk
deposits. thegoal of the program is to create a public attitude of
viewing clean rivers as valuable resources, for 1990 and beyond.
the Minnesota Uepartment of Transportation has accelerated its
junkyard cleanup program along state highways, and is working on roadside
beautification throughout the state. Mn/DOT also will coordinate its
construction program with Olympic Sports Festival dates in 1990.
The Legislature has directed all state agencies to assist in planning
and carrying out the 1990 celebration.

The Places We Call Home
The communities where we live and work ... and
play ...and do business. The places where our hearts
reside. • We're planning a jubilee to celebrate home.
To celebrate Minnesota. We're going to set aside a
special year to do it - 1990, and we're going to call it
Celebrate Minnesota 1990. ♦ It will be reunion and
homecoming, history lesson and planning for the future,
preserving the old and building the new, cleanup and
beautification. It's a chance for each and every commu-
nity in Minnesota to join in the excitement that wi!l be
generated by the U. S. Olympic Sports Festival, sched-
uled fc„ the' in Citics in the summer of 1990.
Most of all, it will be an exciting celebration of
our values. From Hallock to Hector, from
Lutsen to Lakefield, we'll all join in.
Together, well take time to learn about
our past, revel in the present and
map out the future. •
Celebrate Minnesota 1990 is a ,
communities... the places
we call home. The neigh-
borhoods we share with
family and friends. Our
sehoeds, churches and places
of business. The standards we to
live by and the goals we share. ♦ `�
Start with a plan. Your plan can be
coordinated with statewide programs
established by the staff of Celebrate s
Minnesota 1940 to attract national ntt.ntion to
our state and to enrich the lives of you and your
neighbors. • Put your plan into action. Then
make a speual effort to invite friends and relatives and
former nwidents to pun us in 1490 as we come together
to celebrate the places we call home.
Our Heritage
Here in Minnesota we have a solid sense of history and
a hentage rich in tradition. That's important, becau-.e we
believe we can better prepare for the future if we have a
strong awarenews of our past. ♦ Celebrate Minnesota
1940. More than tO) individual communities sharing the
things we know about our history We 11 learn what
makes our own community special and different from
the rest. We'll gain a better under tandmg and apprewta-
uon of the plaeri we call home 0 Commemorate the
past in your own
special way In Young ___
i America, a group of senior -
citizens volunteered to catalog
histone photographs for the community.
Grove City rescued a historic Swedish wind-
mill, then moved it back to the park where it
belonged and restored it. The People of Embarrass did
some investigating and diwoct red in their midst some
cabins that are priceless representations of Finnish
immigrant archite, ture • Do some research of your
own. Identify historic sues in vour community and
develop a walking tour, as Stillwater did. Investigate
your community's history through the Minnesota
Histoncal Society and establish a county or local hi -,ton -
cal museum, as Ada and Isle and several other have.
Gather family histories and photographs and put
together a hatory book, as Dcir River did Prewry
hutonc budding or landmark for future generations
enjoy, as Clans -,i did when it n,tored ns bandstand in
the park • Celebrate Minnesota 1940 vi a very

To strengthen the founda-
tions of the places we call home.

Our Place
Join in the celebration. Identify a project or activity that
honors our hentage, or enhances our quality of life, or
invests in the future. ♦ Remove or repair a dilapidat-
ed building. Beautify a roadside. Develop a new park or
recreational area. Clean up an eyesore Give in aban-
donctid railroad depot a useful purpose. ♦ Many
communities already host an annual summer festival.
There's the Minnesota Bluegrass Festival at
Zimmerman. The Ilogshead Festival at Proctor. Praine
Pioneer Days at Morris. Grand 01' Days in St. Paul.
nh Derby Days at Franklin. Dedicate your celebra-
th.,i to Celebrate Minnesota 1990. Create new events to
add ui the excitement. Make them the focus of a
community reunion in 1y90. ♦ Everyone in the
community has something to contribute: people in
garden clubs and scout troops, schools and church
groups, civic leadership and community organizations.
No project is too small, no dream is too large. When you
select a project, sign up to make it an official part of
Celebrate Minnesota 1990. Then invite friends, relatives
and former residents and neighbors to our 1990 home-
coming. ♦ A Celebrate Minnesota 1990 grant
program can assist in community improvement efforts.
For every 53 a communiry can commit to an improve-
ment project in the form of money, materials• services or
volunteer labor, an additional $1 can be provided by the
grant program. The proposals are then subject to an
approval process at the state level. Communities are
eligible to receive up to $25,000 in grans cacti sear.

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
6. Consideration of Lending Support to "Leather's" Project. (J.0.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The Play Ground Committee formed by the School District has established a
preliminary plan for development of a large play structure to be located at
Pine Wood Elementary School. Development of the play structure involves a
community based process known as the "Leathers" approach. Please refer to the
attached material for more information regarding the proposal.
In addition to the attached materials, there will be short video presentation
which describes a "Leathers" project successfully completed in Mounds view,
M. After the presentation, members of the Park Improvement Committee will be
providing a short presentation. Council will be asked if if the City is
interested in budgeting funds for this project. In addition, Council will be
asked to include the project as one of the potential "Celebrate Minnesota"
projects.
Capital and maintenance costs are estimated at $60,000. The present funding gap
based on preliminary commitments is approximately $10,000. See attached table
which outlines proposed and committed funding sources for this project.
Factors Supporting City Involvement in the project:
SiyuificanL value is at➢ued to any City recreation dollars contributed to
.L_ i p:c j:c:. .v: :, ::.... �' -.' -'I .2......Y.._ inl:,. V-nc-nt .s..n City vwi i,-
ti to•encourage development of arecreation facility with a significant value
to the community.
The Committee has made it clear to staff that Monticello Citizens will
have free access to the play structure at all times, except during the
school day. Access to the park will be essentially the same as access to
community parks.
The School District will be providing long term maintenance for the
structure. The City contribution is a 'one time" contribution.
The play structure created will likely become another reason why
Monticello is a good play to live and raise a family, thereby making it
another marketing tool for the community.
Factors Against City Involvement in the Project.
The facility will be entirely on school grounds and under school control.
At present, citizens will have essentially the same access to this
facility as they have to City parka. However, there is no guarantee that
this will continue in the future.
The development of this idea was in response to a need of the school and
area residents. It may be the council position that provision of
recreation facilities at this site is the responsibility of the School
District and not within the domain of the City. Therefore, the City
should not be involved.
c
Council Agenda - 8/8/88
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS (Direct City funding):
1. Indicate willingness to participate in program, indicate precise level of
funding commitment, budget year 1989.
2. Indicate willingness to participate in program, postpone establishing
precise level of commitment for budget year 1989 pending additional budget
input.
3. Decide not to participate in project.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS (Celebrate Minnesota Project Designation)
1. Identify "Leather's" project as official an official Celebrate Minnesota
project for the City of Monticello.
2. Withhold identifying project as official Celebrate Minnesota project
pending development of other potential project ideas.
3. Completely withhold identification of project as a Celebrate Minnesota
project.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends Alternative g2 as it is our view Lhat factors in favor of the
project outweignt [actors against City participation in the project.
Furthermore, it is staff's recommendation that Council provide the Committee
with a general idea of funds to be expected from the City but withhold setting
a precise figure until the 1989 budget is set.
With regards to the Leather's project as it relates to Celebrate Minnesota, It
is staff's view that the Leather's project should be identified as a potential
project only and that a final decision on designation should be postponed until
other organizations and individuals have provided input on other potential
projects.

Pinewood Community Playground
A Robert Leathers Approach
Last March, as a result of suggestions from concerned parents, a Playground
Improvement Committee was established by the MM. at Pinewood Elementary.
Information concerning up-to-date playground safety standards and various equipment
types were researched and evaluated. Commercial play -structures and Leathers play -
structures were compared. Visits were made to several Twin City area playgrounds which
featured both commercially bought and installed play structures and Leathers community
built play -structures. The final equipment recommendation of the original committee was
to pursue the Robert Leather's program for the following reasons:
1. Community involvement and pride. This would be the Pinewood Community
Playground - not Just a school playground. Community residents would be
encouraged to use this play area when school was not in session. The entire
community, from pre-schoolers to senior citizens, can be involved in the process.
2. Children involvement and pride. Elementary children work with the architect
to design the play structure. The children also help raise funds and assist during
construction days. The Leathers process offers our children a unique learning
experience which emphasizes the values of commitment, cooperation and hard
work.
3. Handicapped accessibility. A section of this play -structure will have equipment
accessible to handicapped ch!Idrens' use.
4. Creative play. Our existing playground equipment at the school and in the parks,
primarily develops physical skills. Leathers play -structures also incorporate
many wooden towers, stairways, mazes, tunnels and platform areas which
encourage more creative play.
5. Better value. The Leather's program utilizes donated materials and volunteer
labor which keeps costs down while still maintaining high quality and excellent
safety standards.
LOCATION:
We estimate the play -structure would cover approximately 17,000 square feet. We
feel the best location for this play -structure is on the Pinewood West playground, near the
tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. This location offers:
Eligibility for state/federal Handicap Grant.
Flat land with adequate drainage.
Central location in the Monticello Community.
Iligh visibility and close proximity to such community used areas as ball fields.
basketball courts and tennis courts.
Close parking for community use.
Close proximity to the school and existing playgrounds for maximum use during
the school day.
TIME FRAME
This project would encompass the next two years. As an approximate time frame we
suggest:
Spring 1988 - Summer 1989
1. Structuring of core committee. general planning and familiarity with Leathers
process.
2. Initial contacts with School Board. City Council and community organizations -
general commitments of funds and possible donations.
3. Initial introduction of project to Monticello community.
4. Application for grant money for handicapped area.
5. Application for "Celebrate Minnesota" funding.
Summer 1989 - Spring 1990
1. Child rens' Involvement.
2. Community volunteer commitments in specific committees.
3. Specific playground fund raising by playground committee.
4. Finalized commitments of funds. materials and labor.
5. Actual play -structure process - Design Day (fall). Organization Day (winter) and
Construction Days (May).
FUNDS
Commercially. this play -structure would cost approximately $150.000. By using
volunteer labor. the cost is cut by two-thirds. With donated and/or discounted materials
and tools. it can be reduced considerably more. We estimate the total cost of this project to
be around 860.000. (This includes all architect fees. materials. surfacing and long-term
maintenance fund.) The actual amount will be determined after Design Day when the final
play and materlal list are available. As a safeguard. should we find our fund raising
running far below our goal. adjustments in the plan can be made at Organization Day.
(Both Braham and Mounds View exceeded their goals and added extra features to their
play strictures.
COMMUNITY PROJECT
When the original Playground Committee made the Leather's recommendation we
knew it was above and beyond the usual school playground project.
This would be a joint venture between the School. the City and surrounding
townships, all the various community organizations and groups. and individuals from
pre-schoolers to senior citizens. All have talents and resources to offer and by pooling our
efforts. we can accomplish our goal.
THE OPPORTUNITY IS NOWI
The Leathers program has been researched and studied first-hand. Monticello's
Pinewood Community Playground is on their schedule for May of 1990.
• A playground committee Is organized and is coordinating plans.
Community organizations have been notified and invited to our "Playground
Preview Party" on August 23rd. during which we will visit the new Leather's
playground in Mounds View and discuss the approach further.
• The School District has donated land and agreed to cover insurance and
maintenance costs. The School Board has also made a significant funding
committment to the project.
' The State of Minnesota is sponsoring a "Celebrate Minnesota" program in '89-'90 to
encourage communities across Minnesota to Identify and accomplish local grass
roots projects which would improve their community. By having our playground
identllled as an official "Celebrate Minnesota" project. Monticello would gain
widespread publicity. We will also be applying for their grant program. If
accepted. the State will contribute $1.00 for every $3.00 we raise locally.
Why should the City of Monticello support and contribute to this project?
1. Both the City of Monticello and the Monticello School District are involved in
providing recreational facilities for area residents.
SCHOOL PROVIDES:
1. Playground areas
2. Baseball Fields
3. Tennis Courts
4. Running Track
8. Football Fields
S. Swimming Pool
7. Community Ed
Recreation Programs Le.:
basketball, volleyball, ole.
C
CITY PROVIDES:
1. Ellison Perk - Playground equipment
2. Bridge Park - Playground and skating rink
3. 4th St. Park - Playground and skating rink
4. Various neighborhood play areas
8. Various neighborhood recreational
baseball areas.
Both have budgets from which facility improvements are funded. There are
some people who feel the City should fund a project of this scope. There are
others who feel the school should fund the project. We believe the best solution
would be "pooling" funds on this particular playground project. If we combine our
"playground monies" the community will benefit much more than if we spend
them separately.
2. The need expands for more or larger playground facilities as Monticello continues
to grow and our young school age population increases. Rather than investing a
sizeable amount of funds 10 years from now on expensive commercial equipment.
why not take advantage of the Leather's process now in place and help build our
"super" play structure?
3. The City of Monticello will benefit greatly from the Pinewood Community
Playground project.
• We will receive excellent publicity for the Monticello community.
• We will also attain a safe. high-quality play structure for our children's and
grandchildren's use over the next 25 years.
• Perhaps most importantly. we will acquire a sense of accomplishment.
Every city hopes for a sense of community pride. spirit and Involvement among Its
residents. however these are things which can never be budgeted for and purchased with
any amount of money.
The result when an entire community literally "pulls together" and shares a common
hands-on experience -- an opportunity for neighbors to work together In many different
capacities to accomplish one major goal. Both the resulting play -structure and sense of
community will last for years to come.

Ms. Cheryl Fuller

Monticello, Minnesota 55362
Dear Cheryl:
We're enclosing some material on Celebrate Minnesota
1990, and you'll note the brochure contains a picture of
a Bob Leathers playground built at Braham a couple of years
ago.
We've also got a multi -projector slide show or video, which
you might want to schedule for your group, because it
contains numerous scenes from the recent
playground -building in Mounds View.
The heart of Celebrate Minnesota 1990 is the idea that
communities take a look at themselves and see what
improvements are needed, and then pitch in to build them.
That's why we chose these playground projects to feature in
the material.
Good luck, and remember to take plenty of before and after
pictures) if you'd like to book a showing of the video or
slides, please let us know. We'd prefer a group of 50 or
more for the slides, since it involves quite a bit of
equipment.
Sincerely,

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
7• Consideration of Setting a Special Meeting for Goals and Objectives - 1989
Budget. (R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
For the past few years, prior to the preparation of the preliminary budget, the
Council has met in a special session to discuss goals and objectives with the
staff for the upcoming year. I believe this meeting has generally been a
morning meeting and has lasted approximately an tour to an hour and a half.
Last year, the special budget meeting was held prior to a regular Council
meeting, but if the Council prefers, an early morning meeting or an evening
meeting can be scheduled.
The City Staff has already held it's start up budget meeting on August 3rd and
the worksheets have been distributed for preliminary work. The Department
Heads will be preparing their lists of capital outlay and other project items
they would like to see included for 1989's budget. Jeff has indicated that the
telephone survey of the community has been completed and is in the process of
being compiled by St. Cloud State university personnel. This information from
the survey should be available shortly and may be valuable to the Council and
Staff in considering additional items or services to consider as part of 1989's
budget. Naturally, Council members may have ideas or projects they would like
the staff to consider and normally this has been the reason for holding a
special meeting prior to the budget being completed. All that is required of
this Gbuncil meeting is a motion to set a special meeting (if desired) for
considering budget goals, objectives for the staff to use in preparation of the
budget.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Set a special meeting date.
2. Not to hold a special meeting thin year.

�i Development. Applicant, David Hornig. (G.A.)
Enclosed with this supplement is a copy of David Hornig's subsidized family
apartment building project to be known as "Lauring Green". The proposed
landscaping site plan as submitted, is different from the original site plan
which the Planning Commission and City Oouncil had approved. The only change
is that they have relocated Buildings A and B, they have been switched. As the
plan shows now, they have split the 12 garden apartments units up into two 6
unit garden apartments and have placed them on the north side of the property
instead of on the west side of the property. Building A has been moved from
the north side of the property to the west side of the property. These changes
have not effected any minimum zoning requirements. The proposed landscaping
plan as presented does meet all of the minimum requirements of our landscaping
section of the ordinances.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Approve the site plan and landscaping plan for the family subsidized
apartment project to be known as "Lauring Green".
2. Deny the site plan and the landscaping plan for the family subsidized
apartment project to be known as "Lauring Green".
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The site plan and landscaping plan as submitted does meet the minimum
requirements of the Monticello Landscaping ordinance.

✓ 9. Consideration of Appointing Judges for the 1988 Primary and General Elections.
(R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The upcoming Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, September 13, 1988, and
the General Election will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 1988. Because of the
statutory imposed deadlines for action, it will be necessary to appoint this
years' election judges at this meeting. I am submitting a list of names of
people who have served as election judges before and who have indicated a
willingness to serve again. The individuals have been notified that if they
are appointed and trained, scheduling hours have not yet been determined for
each specific election. The City has held two elections with the punch card
voting system, 1988 will be primarily the same as in the past except that
during the primary election, our punch card tabulator is a different model
because of the requirement that a party indicator be punched on all ballots.
The same election judges appointed for the primary and general election will
also serve for the upcoming referendum issue at the primary. All that is
needed at this meeting is a motion to appoint the following people as election
judges from the attached sheets.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
There is really no alternative action other than to make appointments. If the
Council wishes, there can be additions or deletions from the list provided.

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
10. Consideration of Financing Alternatives for Purchase of New Aerial Fire Truck.
(R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The lastest word on the Aerial Fire Truck the City ordered is that delivery can
be expected about the last of August or first part of September. After a few
weeks of training, the fire department members on the operational and
maintenance characteristics of the truck, payment will be expected by
manufacturer, Minnesota Conway Fire and Safety Equipment. The final expected
price of the new truck will be $280,340 without the trade-in of the old fire
truck. The 62 fire truck which recently had a blown engine, is in the process
of being repaired with a different engine and should be operational by now. As
a result, the City will still be able to receive a trade-in value of $7,500
after delivery of the new truck bringing the net funds needed for the purchase
to $272,840.
The Fire Hall Construction Fund should have a balance by this time of
approximately $200,000 plus, which can be used as a major downpayment on the
truck. Actually, when reviewing the bond documents for the fire hall
construction project, the City should close out the construction fund and use
the entire $200,000 plus balance towards the purchase and the remaining balance
could be financed under either a lease purchase arrangement with the
manufacturer or by using reserve funds from the General or Capital Outlay Funds
of the City. Although, we did not specifically budget in 1988 for the balance
between the General Fund surplus and what might be available in the Capital
Outlay Revolving Fund, the City could come up with the $70,000 to $75,000
needed to completely pay off the truck purchase. The other method that could
be used is a lease purchase finance arrangement with the manufacturer. This
would be somewhat similar to what the City did on it's computer purchase. In
talking to Minnesota Conway Representatives, the current interest rate is
approximately 7.5 percent annually on any amount we would care to finance.
Using a three year payment schedule for the balance of $70,000 to $75,000, the
annual payment would be less than $30,000. Under this method, the City could
annually over the next three years budget this specific amount to rover the
payment schedule. This method would allow us to kept our reserve in tact and
incorporate the annual payment in future budgets.
11,
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Uae the entire construction fund balance of approximately $200,000 as a
n down payment and finance the balance over three years under a lease
purchase arrangement with the manufacturer.
\ I V) 2. Entirely pay for the vehicle when delivered by using Construction Fund
11� 1 balance and surplus from the General and or Capital Outlay Revolving Fund.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Under the current market situations, either method is a suitable choice. The
City funds would certainly allow for some surplus to be used to pay off the
truck entirely, but at a finance rate of 7.5 percent, I am otill able to invcot
City surplus money at a greater interest rate than this. As a result, it could bo
Council Agenda - 8/8/88
to our advantage to arrange a lease purchase over three years on the balance,
but there is not a great significant difference in either method. Although the
exact interest rate on the financing alternative would not be known until the
truck is delivered, if the Council chooses to arrange a three year lease on the
balance, the paperwork can be completed by the manufacturer and ready for
signatures when the truck is delivered.

�l 11. Consideration of Awarding Bid on Seat Coat Project 88 SC -1.
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the last meeting the Council authorized advertisement for bids for
seatcoating of the west Monticello area. This is the area west of Chestnut
Street and north of County Road 75 excluding all culdesacs expect Hillcreast
Circle. The culdesacs in West Monticello were seatcoated later than the rest
of the project.
The project contains 39,479 square yards of bituminous surface. The bids we
received in 1987 were 52 cents per square yard. If the bids were similar, we
would expect the project to cost approximately $20,529.08. This is well below
our yearly sealcoating budget of $28,400.
The bids are due in at 2:00 p.m., Monday, August 8, 1988. We will have the bid
tabulation and recommendations for award of the project for Monday evenings
meeting.

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
As I understand from our discussions from the last meeting, it is proposed that
we build the water tank to the elevation as recommended by the City Engineer
with a high water mark of 1105. It is our understanding that this could
increase the overall static water pressure in any specific location by 27
pounds per square inch. If the tank is completed in September of 1989, we
would propose to fill the tank initially to provide only slightly more pressure
then currently exists today, possibly only 5 or 10 pound boost.
Then in the late spring/early summer of 1990, we would begin filling a step at
a time, until either the maximum elevation of 1105 is reached or considerable
problems develop either in distribution of the system or older services in
homes plumbing. if no significant problems are encountered, we expect to be at
full pressure during the high demand period of 1990.
As far as the procedures or policies regarding the pressure reducing valves go,
the Staff presents the following information.
1. The first step would be to inform the public of the proposed pressure
increases and ask that they evaluate their existing home plumbing and
service lines. We would recommend that homeowners seriously consider
replacing old galvanized service lines and updating their inhouse_ plumbing
were ever possible and economically feasible.
2. For any home built prior to 1963, whos water pressure is expected to be
above 60 PSI, the City would provide free of charge to the home owner a
pressure reducing valve (with gauge to indicate house site pressure). The
60 PSI is as recommended by Minnesota Rural Water, the 1963 home cut off
was pulled out of the air.
We should not install these pressure reducing valves, it should be the
responsibility of the homeowner or their plumber to install these valves
in the piping after the water meter, in discussing this with the Water
Superintendent, there are occasions when just working on a water meter can
cause problems with the older plumbing. Also, we could end up liable for
a significant number of homeowner plumbing problems and complaints during
or just after the installation.
3. Since it appears that these pressure reducing valves are not easily
obtainable, the City should stock spare valves as well as spare parts.
It would be appropriate to supply the homeowners with replacement valves
and parts for a period of years as to allow them to upgrade their plumbing
systems. Currently five to ten years seems to be appropriate.
4. It should be pointed out that the City does not guarantee that the
operations of these pressure reducing valves. That the homeowner is
solely responsible for plumbing problems which occur in the service line
or in the homo with or without the pressure reducing valves. The City
will also not cover the cost of an expansion tank in the home if the
plumbing is so designed as to require one to prevent over pressuring in
the home system due to heating of hot water. If the {bunch so wishes
this could be changed that the City will provide a one time expansion
tank, the cost of such a tank could be in the drea of $50 lu $100.
Council Agenda - 8/8/88
If the Council can agree on the text of the policy, the City Staff will draft
such policy and begin a program by which to sell the imposed improvements to
the city residents for the upcoming bond issue.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Set the policy for staging of the increased pressure within the community
and set a policy for pressure reducing valves and then present both
policies and costs to the city residents in preparation of the bond issue.
2. Any modifications of alternative Al and/or the proposed project itself.
C. STAFF RECOtM1ENDATIONS:
It is the Staff's recommendation that the Council proceed as in Alternative 11.
We have approximately one month to prepare for the bond issue.

Please refer to past agenda items of the water study and other available

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
13. Review of Liquor Store Financial Statements and Authorizing to Purchase Cooler
Shelving. iR.W.i
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. Joe Hartman, Liquor Store Manager, will be in attendance at the Council
meeting to review and answer any questions the Council may have on the first
six month financial statement.
In review of the first six months operation compared to the first six months of
1987, total sales have increased approximately 6 percent to $527,961. The
resulting gross profit has also increased over $20,000 is 21 percent increase
to $118,7201. The overall operating income for the first six months is
$47,516.00, a 27 percent increase over the same period last year. The gross
profit percentages for liquor, beer, and wine all appear reasonable and have
increased over last years' percentages. Typically, the overall gross profit
percentages have ranged from 20 to 22 percent and are currently at 22.48
percent.
As part of the 1988 Budget, $6,000 was included under capital outlay for the
purpose of purchasing additional shelving units and new rollers and slides for
the shelving in the walk in cooler. The present shelving has deteriorated over
the years and additional shelving units for displaying wine coolers etc. .
are needed. Joe is in the process of obtaining additional quotes from
manufacturers and at this point has only received one written quote from
Carlson Refrigeration in the amount of $5,287 for the additional shelving and
repairs. Joe expects to receive at least one more quote from a manufacturer
for this equipment and since $6,000 was budgeted for this equipment, we are
asking for approval to purchase the necessary equipment at a price not to
exceed the quote received of $5,287. If additional quotes are not received
from manufacturers with a lower price, we would naturally purchase the
equipment at the lowest price possible.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Accept the six month financial statement as presented and authorize the
purchase of shelving and related equipment for the walk in cooler at a
price not to exceed $5,287.
2. Accept the report as presented and delay any action on the shelving
purchase until additional quotes are presented.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
In order to complete the needed repairs and add additional shelving as soon as
possible, staff recommends that Oouncil authorize the shelving to be purchased
not to exceed $5,287. If Joe receives a better price quote from other
manufacturers in the next few days, we would naturally purchase the equipment
at the lowest price available.

Council Agenda - 8/8/88
14. Consideration of Change Order 13, Project 88-01B, East County Road 39 Utility
Project. W .S.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the completion of the large water main crossing of the Burlington Northern
Railroad and County Road 75 at the new intersection of County 39, an omission
was noted in the plans and specifications. The standard practice in the past
on previous City work designed by OSM has been to have the contractor fill the
air splace between the outside of the water main and the inside of the larger
diameter highway crossing casing with sand. No reference was made in the plans
or specifications to have LaTour Construction perform this filling operation.
LaTour Construction has indicated that if this feature would have been noted
originally on the plans and specifications, he would have increased his bid in
the amount of $2,440. LaTour typically does not perform this work, but
subcontracts it out to specialists in such operations. LaTour has agreed to
have a subcontractor fill the casing for the amount of $2,440.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Approve Change Order @3 on Project 88-01B in the amount of $2,440.00.
2. Not to approve the Change Order 03 or negotiate with the contractor. This
does not appear to be appropriate as the contractor has not inflated the
cost.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is the Staff recommendation that the Council authorized Change Order 13 as
outlined in Alternative /1.
D. SUPPORTING DATA:
Copy of the Change Order will be provided at Monday evenings meeting by John
Badalich. (/

Council Update - 8/8/88
IA. Nurse Sludge Hauling Unit. W .S.)
0n Sunday, July 31, 1988, at 8:00 a.m., Dave Stromberg, while Vrrder, the
employment of Professional Services Group, rolled our 4,000 gallon tri -axle
sludge nurse unit on the drivers side at the intersection of Fast County Road
39 and Harding Avenue in Monticello Township. The truck was fully loaded at
the time. It is my understanding that Dave Stromberg was employed by PSG to
haul sludge a few times on the weekends and is currently employed by Schulander
Construction. Dave was shaken up during the accident and suffered a few
bruises as well as a possibility of a bruised kidney. He was however, back at
work Monday for Schulander Construction.
140 /—
The City Staff, in conjunction with PSG personnel with assistance with Hoglund
Transportation empted the sludge truck, properly cleaned up the minor spills
and uprighted the truck by early Sunday afternoon. There is significant damage
to the vehicle. The pressure/vacuum tank was dented,but not ruptured. The
frame is twisted on the truck as well as servere damage to the tool
compartments, cab, and hood assembly. In addition, some oil seals on the rear
differentials were ruined during the roll over.
The truck is currently at Hoglund Transporation in Monticello awaiting
estimates. The City of Monticello's insurance company has been notified and
they are in the process of sending an adjuster to evaluate the truck damage.
Currently, the damage estimate is in the tens of thousands of dollars.
-'._Po,way
Since the City of Monticello and PSG mus continue sludge hauling operations,
we have began making arrangements for a eplacement unit. we found that none
existed, and therefore decided to use semi -trailer tractors to remove the vICr
sludge from the treatment plant to the fields for final applications t o the
City's IMF, large tire applicator. After some 40 phone calls, we obtained one
antique trailer from M fi P Transport of Monticello for $500 per week, and one
newer stainless steel unit from Indianhead in Roseville at $750 per week. PSG
has agreed to supply the tractor uni6 at no cost to the City and has brought
two units up from Souix City, Iowa, to accomplish the hauling. This should cut
the haul time down to a few weeks rather than six or eight weeks that was
originally proposed. It .wad expected to take months for our unit to be totally
repaired and back in service.
Those Council members needing additional information, feel free to contact me
regarding this matter. I do have an updated Sheriff's Report concerning the
accident also.
Respectfully,
John Simola,
Public Works Director

This office represents the City of Monticello. The City of Monticello has been
contacted by a number of persons concerned by the threat Or safety posed by the
building located on Lot 10, Block 16, Townsite of Monticello. The last time the
building was inspected it was determined not to be in compliance with various
health, safety and building code ordinances of the City. Since the last
Inspection It appears that no remedial action has been taken to bring the
building up to code. The City is most interested in seeing that the hazardous
conditions associated with the property end and that the building be brought up
to code, Hoperully, with your cooperation, the hazardous conditions can be
ended and the code violations can be corrected amicably. Toward that end we
propose a meeting wherein you, the undersigned, o representative of the City and
a representative of the citizens who have expressed concern about the building
can meet and review what needs to be dono to correct the situation as well as
establishing a time table for the corrective work. You should contact this
office within the next week to set a time for such a meeting.
In the event you choose not to have the situation amicably resolved, then the
City will have no choice but to take action under, its Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings ordinance (Uniform Abatement or Dangerous Buildings Code, 1979
Edition) or proceed under Minn Stat. 463.15-463.261 for a resolution or the
matter. Under either proceeding the City's goal would be to either restore the
structure to code compliance or demolish the structure. The City would seek to
have the costs assessed back against the property.
Yours truly,
Thomas D. Hayes
