N MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL Monday, November 27, 1989 - 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Fran Fair, Warren Smith, Ken Maus, Shirley Anderson, Dan Blonigen Members Absent: None 2. Approval of minutes. Warren Smith requested that item +7 of the mninutes be amended to include the following sentence: Brad Fyle agreed that both lots would be used to accommnodate the proposed tri-plex. Motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Shirley Anderson, to approve the November 13, 1989, meeting minutes as amended. Motion carried unanimously. Citizens commnents, petitions, requests and complaints. None forthcoming. 4. Consideration of accepting park dedication fee - West Prairie Partners subdivision plat. Aftinistrator Wolfsteller explained that the City's subdivision ordinance specifies that cash contributions made in lieu of land dedication for park purposes may be determined by an appraisal of the property establishing the market value prior to any improvements. The developer is responsible for submitting an appraisal; and if the Council so elects, it can order an additional appraisal of its own. Wolfsteller went on to outline the formula that Mr. Metcalf used in establishing a proposed market value of $17,000 per acre. Wolfsteller explained that Mr. Metcalf based the value of the 2-1/2 acre parcel by subtracting the value of the two lots of the former Assembly of God Church property to arrive at a value of $77,000 for the Assembly of God Church, which was traded for the Baptist Church property. They also deducted the existing home that was sold for $60,000 leaving what they feel is the market value of the 2-1/2 acre parcel at $17,000. Wolfsteller suggested that Council could accept this formula and establish a park dedication fee at one-tenth the value of the raw land or $1,700, or Council could ask for a separate appraisal and, therefore, get a third party opinion regarding the value of this property. Dan Blonigen noted that on general principal we should be willing to seek an appraisal. Even though the cost of the appraisal is high relative to the park dedication fee, it is imtportant that the park dedication fee reflect the true market value of the property. Blonigen went on to say that if you don't hold the line on the smnall items, they will coins back to haunt you later. Shirley Ander9on agreed that getting an appraisal in this situation is appropriate. 9 Council Minutes - 11/27/89 Ken Maus noted that the figures that Metcalf and Larson provided the City in establishing their view of the value of the property are not arbitrary figures, and they reflect actual costs. Maus went on to note that this is a small item and is an example of the City just being difficult. Warren Smith agreed that by requiring an appraisal, the City is making a mountain out of a molehill. Rick Wolfsteller noted that there have been other situations where the City has not demanded an appraisal for purposes of establishing a park dedication fee. The only reason why an appraisal is suggested at this time is because of the somewhat complicated canner in which the market value of the property was established. Motion was made by Dan Blonigen and seconded by Shirley Anderson to seek an appraisal from an appraiser that is mutually agreed upon by the City and the developer for purposes of establishing a park dedication fee for the Prairie west Subdivision. During discussion, Ken Maus and Warren Smith both noted that requiring the appraisal is a waste of time and money and commnon sense says accept the deal. voting in favor: Fran Fair, Shirley Anderson, Dan Blonigen. Opposed: Ken Maus, Warren Smith. S. Consideration of City participation in financing a portion of the Evergreens Subdivision development cost via the assessment process. V Ken Maus reviewed the history behind the City's current policy of encouraging private developers to finance the development of private property for the purpose of developing residential lots. Maus noted that this policy may have resulted in part from recommnendations made by the City's bond counsel. According to Maus, bond counsel was concerned that the City's bond rating might suffer if the City's debt became excessive due to financing of public immprovement projects. Maus opened up the discussion to Council asking for input as to what extent the City should change its existing policy regarding financing of public Lrprovements. Dan Blonigen noted that the risk associated with development should be borne by the developer and not by the City. Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the cities of Elk River and Buffalo both require a letter of credit in an amount equal to the cost of the public improvements. Once the public projects are comnpleted, the cost of the improvements are assessed against the properties. As properties are sold and assessments paid, the letter of credit supplied by the developer is reduced in an amount equal to the sum of the assessment payments. This financing technique protects the City 1008, as the City can draw on the letter of credit if assessment payments are not made by the developer. O'Neill went on to note that all public inprovements in Maple Grove are comnpleted by the City for the purposes of assuring quality control. In addition, Maple Grove requires that 608 of the cost for the imnprovements are provided up front. The City then assesses the remaining 40% against the improved property. 10 0 Council Minutes - 11/27/89 At this point, a general discussion of the Evergreens subdivision ensued. John Simola explained that the Kjellberg East Mobile Hoene Park is utilizing a pond system that is too small, and the land area available is not sufficient to handle a properly sized pond. The potential ground water pollution problem created by this situation might only be remedied if the City and Kjellberg work cooperatively toward a resolution. Ken Maus noted that the City gets into trouble when we run sewer and water trunk lines long distances. John Simola responded by saying that the lateral extension of sewer and water in this case is not a major trunk line but rather is a lateral extension from the existing system and, therefore, is less costly than a trunk line. Rick Wolfsteller explained that one of the main advantages for the City completing the public improvements is that the City has control over the quality of the development, and we have greater assurance that there will be no long-term maintenance problems if the City installs the streets and utilities. Council discussed the need for the type of housing that will be created by the Kjellberg development. Fran Fair and Dan Blonigen asked "How bad do we need first time home buyer housing?" Ken Maus explained that the nature of this development to some degree is regulated by the restrictive covenants associated with the development. Restrictive covenants include language that regulates house color and includes garage and landscaping requirements. Administrator O'Neill noted that the development area includes three power lines and a natural gas line, which precludes the use of the property for higher value housing. In addition, the land is not prime agricultural land. It may be that this land might best be suited for the type of development proposed. Warren Smith suggested that the City inight want to participate in this project only because of the associated Kjellberg East Park sewer problem. After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair and seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve City utilization of the assessment process in financing 406 of the Evergreens Subdivision development cost contingent on the following: a. Sewer and water services shall be extended completely through Phase I and Phase II with streets, curb, and gutter installed with Phase I. b. Kjellberg East Mobile Home Park must be connected to the City sewer service at the southerly most Phase II manhole. c. Enlargement of the mobile home park will be allowed only after the sewer extension is couplets and operational and in commpliance with City specifications. in addition, street improvements must be complete and storm sewer plans approved and in place. 0 I Council Minutes - 11/27/89 The formula used in providing credit to the East Park area assessmnent per the original developer agreement would remain. The original developer agreement stated that the area assessment for the Rjellberg East Mobile Home Park would be reduced an amount equal to the cost of extending utilities from Dundas to the development. Since Kjellberg will be paying 608 of this cost, it was concluded that this credit could remain. The area assessment formnula associated with Phase I development shall be consistent with the original developer agreemner,t. Under the original developer agreement, the lots with Phase I and II would be charged an added $200 hookup fee for sewer and water, and all properties in this area would pay a $4 per quarter surcharge on their water bill. These funds will be used for the future extension of trunk sewer and water to the area when it is needed. Rjellberg shall be responsible for all costs associated with the lift station and piping necessary to provide sewer service to the mobile home park. Development of this facility will meet City requirements. Motion carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of final payment on Project 89-1, Marvin Elwood Road extension in the Meadows. John Simola explained that the City of Monticello contracted with Channel Construction to extend Marvin Elwood Road as part of the Meadows imnprovement project. The estimated cost of the contract was $10,582. Final construction cost of the project is $10,582. The City to date has paid all but $1,000 of this amount. The work has been completed on the extension of Marvin Elwood Road, work has been satisfactory, and the City staff recoimnends final payment to Channel Construction. Final payment will be in the amount of $1,000 and is pending receipt of the proper lien waivers and the State of Minnesota forms. After discussion, motion was made by Dan Blonigen and seconded by Shirley Anderson to make final payment to Channel Construction in the amount of $1,000 pending receipt of lien waivers and State of Minnesota forms. Motion carried unanimously. 7. Consideration of resolutions ordering 4reparation of assessment roll and setting a Public hearing on adoption of assessment roll on Marvin Elwood Road extension. After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair and seconded by warren Smith to adopt a resolution ordering the preparation of the assessment roll and a resolution setting the public hearing for the first meoting in January 1990. Motion carried unanimously. SEE RESOLUTION 89-36 AND RESOLUTION 89-37. 0 Council Minutes - 11/27/89 Consideration of accepting the improvements associated with the Meadows 2nd Addition. Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the City Engineer and Public Works Director have indicated that the work necessary to develop the ten new lots has been successfully coirpleted except for minor details, which should be completed prior to forual acceptance and final payment. After discussion, motion was made by Warren Smith and seconded by Fran Fair to accept the Meadows 2nd Addition improvement subject to the following conditions which imist be completed within 30 days: a. As built drawings showing the actual locations, etc., of the public improvements to be submitted to the City Engineer along with a certification from the developer's engineer that all imrprovemrents have been installed per the specifications. b. The developer's engineer shall submit to the City a detailed grading plan of Lot 1, Block 1, which would outline a plan for draining this lot to the northern Burlington Northern right-of-way. C. An escrow ammunt of $250 shall be established for the purpose of providing funds necessary to fully seed the street boulevards. Seeding of street boulevards must be coirpleted by September 1, 1990. d. The warranty bond shall name the City of Monticello as the third party beneficiary of the warranty. e. The developer shall pay $2,612, which equals the City expenses associated with inspecting the iuprovement. Please note that these expenses were higher than originally anticipated because the developer's contractor failed to properly notify the City of work being done which necessitated additional time to track the project and stay on top of the work as it occurred. f. Receipt of lien waivers and State forms. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of replacing electric motor for deep well turbine puirp in well ql. John Simla noted that approximately three years ago when the 60 h.p. motor for well 11 failed, he replaced it with a 75 h.p. imtor as recommnended by OSM. It was expected that the 75 h.p. motor would be able to handle the higher head pressures expected when the new water reservoir went on line. Simmla went on to explain that, unfortunately, the sizing of the pummp and discharge pressures at low tank level do not allow the motor to perform at the proper capacity. Therefore, Simla recomended that the City replace the 75 h.p. motor with a 100 h.p. unit. Ken Maus and Dan Blonigen noted some frustration regarding this issue. Dan Blonigen stated that he is getting tired of the resizing of pumps, etc. John Simmla concurred but stated the larger imtor appeared to be the best solution to the current predicament. 0 ICouncil Agenda - 11127/99 John also stated he would smmnarize the water improvements in the next agenda. After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair and seconded by Shirley Anderson to authorize the purchase and installation of a 100 h.p. across the line start motor using an electronic soft start or reduce voltage started at an estimated cost of $5,000. Motion carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of amendments to snow plow/removal policy and adoption of revised snow plowing and removal plan. John Simola reviewed the amendments to the snow plow/removal policy and asked for comments from Council. Shirley Anderson requested that the policy be amended by removing references to specific organizations that will receive the benefit of snow removal services. It was suggested that City action to remove snow from in front of private businesses be limited to those areas where these businesses were built and established prior to development of parking lots where parking is vital to business. Snow removal limited to such areas along Highway 75 and where snow removal is necessary to protect public safety. During the discussion, a number of comments were made regarding the City's snow removal polity. 't �► Dan Slonigen noted that the City should charge people for snow removal if snow removal is not done in the downtown area. Ken Maus noted that it is important that the City define clear criteria in establishing which businesses or institutions receive the benefit of snow removal. Dan Kling, City Engineer, stated that in some of the cowurunities he works with the decision to haul away snow is based on safety. When it is determined that snow must be resoved from an area that has insufficient capacity to store the snow, the cost to remove the snow is billed back to the benefiting property owners. Dan Slonigen agreed that the cost to remove the snow should be billed back to the benefiting property owners. He asked, "Why should a homeowner have to remove snow and provide snow storage area, while a businessman receives the benefit of having the City remove snow that he is unable to store?" Ken Maus suggested that geographic location and history dictates and that not all City benefits can be provided equally throughout the community. Ken Maus noted the problem associated with City removal of parking lot snow only after the streets have been plowed. Although this is a good policy in terns of keeping the streets clear, many of the businesses suffer when the lots remain snow covered for longer periods of time. Maus suggested that before investing in additional manpower or additional equipment, the City should seriously investigate the possibility of having a private contractor remove snow from City parking lots. 6 I t Council Minutes - 11/27/89 John Simola explained that the City has hired one new person in the last ten years and that the City has the same basic equipment that has been updated only. This has allowed the City to operate its snow removal process efficiently. He did note that it's not likely that we could speed up the time it takes to plow the streets at this time. Shirley Anderson expressed her view that the snow plowing service in Monticello compares very favorably to the service she has seen in other communities. After discussion, motion was made by Warren Smith and seconded by Fran Fair to adopt the amended snow removal policy with the following changes: References to business and institution names should be dropped from the downtown area section of the policy on specific snow removal (hauling) areas. The policy should be amended to read as follows: And any other property with inadequate off-street parking along the four lane portion of County Road 75 when snow in the parking lane causes a public safety concern as determined by the Public Works Director and upon approval of the City Administrator. Motion passed unanimously. 11. Consideration of bills for the month of November. After discussion, motion was made by Warren Smith and seconded by Fran Fair to approve the bills for the month of November as submitted. Motion carried unanimously. Other matters. Ren Maus suggested that the City staff consider preparing quarterly reports for Council review. No decision was made regarding this matter. Assistant Administrator O'Neill requested that Council schedule a special meeting for the purpose of discussing computer system related issues. A special meeting of the City Council was scheduled for 2:00 p.m., Friday, December 1, 1989. There being no further discussion, mneeting adjourned. Jerk 0 Ne111 Assistant Administrator Kq MINUTES SPECIAL MEETING - MONTICELLO CI_'y COUNCIL Monday, December 4, 1989 - 6:30 pon. Members Present: Ren Maus, Fran Fair, Warren Smith, Shirley Anderson, Dan Blonigen Members Absent: None. 1. Consideration of establishing 1990 salaries and wages for non-union personnel. Ken Maus started the meeting by reviewing recent City policy regarding establishing salaries and wages. He noted that in the past, the City has provided a fixed cost of living increase plus a pool of money that can be used for inerit pay. The City Administrator would have the latitude to provide additional increases to salaries based on his review of euployee performance. Shirley Anderson stated that she has a problem with merit pay, as it is possible to be totally unfair with it. Anderson was more comfortable with automatic step increases. However, she did note she is not against merit pay if it has worked in the past. Dan Blonigen noted that in the past it appeared that all people received merit pay from the pool which defeated the purpose of the merit pay. Rick Wolfsteller stated that not all people received merit pay. Fran Fair noted that it is irrportant at this time to re-evaluate job descriptions and, therefore, it might be difficult to establish salary increases because job duties have changed for some eiqDloyees. Rick Wolfsteller reviewed the City's comparable worth plan and noted that the salary ranges and job descriptions need to be adjusted so as to maintain salaries at comparable levels. At this point, discussion of a general salary increase was discussed. Dan Blonigen suggested that a pool of money be created equal to a 59 increase in total salary budget. This money would be used for comparable worth adjustments. A discussion then ensued regarding development of a comparable worth study. Administrator Wolfsteller noted that our study should be completed by the end of January. Warren Smith asked Dan Blonigen why 5% instead of 4%. Blonigen noted that he wanted the 58 because it would get the corrparable worth situation brought into line. Rick Wolfsteller also noted that health insurance has gone up 68. Warren Smith suggested that any increase in insurance should be paid out of the cost of living increase. J It Special Council Minutes - 12/4/89 After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Shirley Anderson, to grant an across the board 4.58 salary increase to all City employees with the 68 increase in health insurance derived from the 4.5% increase in salaries. In addition, all City positions and salaries are to be reviewed in terms of comparable worth. Salary adjustments of a greater magnitude will be made or considered at such tune that the comparable worth study is coirplete. Motion carried unanimously. 2. 1990 Budget Workshop. Ren Maus began the discussion by noting that the loss in State aids ($181,000) will result in an increase to the City budget. He also noted that the School District will be receiving greater State aids. Therefore, the total tax bill paid by the Monticello residents and businesses may not increase appreciably. Maus went on to note that it might be very difficult to say exactly what will happen to the overall tax rate as a result of the recent budgetary actions taken by School, County, and now the City until later. It appears that with the information that we have now, the total tax bill increase will more likely reflect County increases than City or School increases. Maus noted that if Council accepts the budget as presented, there may be some increase in overall taxes. It was his view that we need to do what it takes to make that increase tolerable. At this point in the meeting, Council reviewed those items in the budget that accounted for the major increases in the City budget. Maus noted that the loss in State aid is the single most important reason why the City budget is increasing. He also noted that the debt service increases are a fixed cost that we cannot remove from the budget. Maus reviewed the garbage and recycling frost increase of $112,500 and noted that it is very difficult to lower this aimunt unless the City moves to a once per week pickup. John Simola stated that the contract calls for a re-evaluation of contract rates based on the performance of the recycling program. It was Simola's view that moving to a once per day pickup or obtaining a lower price for garbage removal are two potential options for the future. He also noted that the City of Buffalo has discussed with him the potential of combining resources to create a joint garbage removal service which could also potentially save the City money. 3. public Hearing - Consideration of 1990 budget. At this point in the meting, Hen Maus opened the public hearing portion of the meeting and asked if anyone had input. Lawrence Clausen was the single individual attending the meeting and noted that he is curious about taxes in general. At this point in the meting, the public hearing was closed. O Special Council Minutes - 12/4/89 Capital outlay items were discussed. Rick Wolfsteller noted that the capital improvement fund could be reduced. However, doing so may reduce the ability of the City to fund items or activities that arise unexpectedly. Hen Maus noted that we need to manipulate our budget to assure that our taxes do not increase substantially. Therefore, he supported using reserves to pay for capital imriprovements not identified at this time. Wolfsteller was asked how much of the unallocated reserves are generally used during the year. Wolfsteller noted that during most years, the City spends less than is allocated for capital funding. Fran Fair suggested that the Council not remove $150,000 from the unallocated fund. This money could be used to assist in funding projects and would remove some of the added bonding costs necessary when the City has to finance imnprovements through the bond market. Ren Maus replied by saying that the City has built a reserve in the liquor fund and other funds and may now wish to use that reserve. Dan Blonigen noted that he does not wish to see the full $500,000 increase to the City levy. Dan Blonigen suggested that the increase be reduced by removing $200,000 from the unallocated expense. Council discussed changes in clerical work conducted at City Hall. Ken Maus noted that there is a concern that work tasks are not completely identified. There have been changes in job descriptions and job activities due to installation of the computer systemn and due to emnployee turnover. Maus also noted that in 1987, Council did recognize the need for an additional employee and that Council had planned on hiring an additional staff person prior to Tom Eidemn leaving his position. Since that tion, Rick Wolfsteller has completed the duties of both the City Admninistrator and Finance Director. The work load created by this situation has not allowed Wolfsteller to give sufficient attention to duties associated with both those positions. In addition, the City has added services to the counnunity such as the transportation program, the recycling programn. In the final analysis, it may be that we need an additional staff person at City Hall. Maus went on to note that Cathy Shuman has excellent experience in computer implementation and operation and also has some skills in financing and accounting. She also has the capacity and willingness to get the job done. At the saine time, however, when Cathy came on board we lost certain qualities that Lynnea Cillham possessed. It mray then make sense for us to at this tion move Cathy into an administrative role which would allow the possibility to hire another person at an entry level receptionist position. This person would likely coirplete utility billing tasks and stand ready to commplete a variety of other duties. Maus went on to note that City Hall response to the public is important. The receptionist position is one that we may need, as no one in the clerical staff at this time has assumed that role, which may create a negative feeling with the public when they attempt to get service at City Hall. Fran Fair agreed and noted that staff needs to look for the right person to carry on the receptionist position. 0 I Special Council Minutes - 12/4/89 Maus also explained that right now the City staff is using a temporary employee two days per week. This position could be eliminated by the hiring of a full-time receptionist. Gary Anderson requested Council's input with regard to hiring temporary help to assist him with paperwork. Ken Maus suggested that use of high school students or temporaries to assist with simple paperwork should not be excluded. After discussion, motion was made by Warren Smith, seconded by Dan Blonigen, to adopt the proposed budget with a reduction of $149,400 in the unallocated expenses. Motion carried unanimously. SEE RESOLUTION 89-38. At this point in the meeting, the City Administrator's salary was discussed. After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Shirley Anderson, to increase the Administrator's salary by 4.58 with a portion of that increase to be used to defray the 69 increase in the cost of health insurance. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Other matters. Ken Maus noted that within each year a small portion of employee's salary may be retained for the purpose of conducting an employee party. This can be done only upon authorization by the City Council. After discussion, motion was made by Fran Fair, seconded by Warren Smith, authorizing the City Administrator to use a portion of the 1990 salary budget for an employee holiday party. Motion carried unanimously. John Simola asked for authorization to spend initial capital outlay for new offices and water department shop items. After discussion, motion was wade by Shirley Anderson, seconded by Dan Blonigen, to postpone capital outlay decision until December 11. Motion carried unanimously. Assistant Administrator O'Neill asked that Council consider amending the transportation management plan to allow the Heartland Express Bus to transport individuals to institutions and business locations outside the city of Monticello but directly adjacent to the city limits. O'Neill explained that the transportation advisory committee recommended that the bus be used to transport individuals to these locations because these locations provide a service to Monticello residents and because the added fare revenue gained by doing so will support the funding of the transportation program. 0 Special Council Minutes - 12/4/89 t Motion was wade by Fran Fair, seconded by Warren Slnith, to provide transportation service from the city of Monticello to Assemblies of God Church, Big Lake Missionary Alliance Church, River Inn, Monte Club, Gould Brothers Chevrolet, and D 6 D Bus Service. voting in favor: Shirley Anderson, Ren Maus, Warren Smith, Fran Fair. Abstaining: Dan Blonigen. There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned. JefW Neill Assistant Administrator C' C G-) Council Agenda - 12/11/89 _ 4A Consideration of feasibility report for anticipated stormater management Improvements within the Monticello Mall watershed. (J.O.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Please refer to the attached letter from OSM dated November 21, 1989, for information regarding the scope of the feasibility study. Specifically refer to task 2 of the letter. The cost of the stornmrater study is estimated at $4,500. It is proposed that The Lincoln Cmipanies finance one-half of the cost of the feasibility study at the time the study is undertaken. Once the improvements are cotaplete and in place, any up -front payments made by The Lincoln Companies will be deducted from their assessment. The Lincoln Companies has indicated support for this plan for financing the feasibility study. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to authorize OSM to conduct feasibility study for stormwater improvements within the Monticello Mall watershed for an estimated aimunt of $4,500. This study is necessary in order for the project to proceed. 2. Motion to deny authorization to proceed with feasibility study. ;7 Selection of this option would halt the project.

TASK 1 - COMPLETE FEASIBILITY REPORT TO ESTABLISH PROFILE FOR 7TH STREET As part of this task, profiles will be established for 7th Street which reflect providing access to the Monticello Mall in one or two locations. Cost estimates to construct the roadway along these profiles will be developed. These estimates will also include the development of anticipated costs for constructing a structural retaining wall to the north of the roadway for the alternatives in which the profile is raised, as well as estimates of cost for acquiring additional right of way to the north to accommodate the road side slope and eliminate the need for a structural retaining wall. Benefits of providing access to the Monticello Mall in two separate locations as well as providing additional access to the Hornig apartment complex from roads other than 7th Street shall be reviewed. A preliminary assessment roll outlining anticipated assessments against benefited properties for various road profiles will also be provided to aid in evaluating these alternatives. The cost to complete this task is estimated at $4,800. TASK 2 - COMPLETE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR ANTICIPATED STORNWATER MANAGEMENT IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE MONTICELLO MALL WATERSHED As part of this task, a hydrologic analysis and Feasibility Report will be completed that will: 1. Specifically define the location and amount of stormwater storage needed within the Monticello Mall watershed south of the Burlington Northern railroad tracks. This task will include identifying areas that must be available for stormwater storage. This would include utilization of all available stormwater storage areas within the streets and identifying stormwater holding areas within the Monticello Mall watershed (both on and off the Monticello Mall development site) that are needed to prevent structural inundation for a 100 year return frequency critical duration rainfall event. 2. The estimated cost for implementing the stormwater management improvements recommended along with an outline of the anticipated assessments that would need to be levied against the parcels benefited would also be provided. Cost participation for the stormwater management improvements is anticipated to be principally provided by MnDOT and Lincoln Companies with some participation provided by the City and a limited number of parcels utilizing the Maple Street System. The cost to complete this task is estimated at 54,500. Should you have any questions concerning the information needs outlined above, please feel free to contact me at 378-6442.

Broadway Monticello, MN 55362 Re: Cost Break Down for Storm Drainage Feasibility Study Dear Jeff: The November 21, 1989 letter, which I have attached, addressed two Tasks. Task I dealt specifically with estimates and costs relating directly to the 7th Street Lincoln Company property. it is my recollection that Lincoln Company had requested this work and was willing to be assessed for reasonable costs relative to this task. However, Task 2 as described in the November 21, 1989 letter is a Feasibility Report for the entire stormwater watershed of which Lincoln Properties is a major contributor. The Feasibility Study cost of this project can be split between the City and Lincoln Properties as both parties will receive long term benefits from implementation of the final study. Total project cost can be considered by the Council during the final assessment procedure and any inequitities can be addressed at that time. Sincerely, ORR-SCHELEN-MAYERON d ASSOCIATES, INC.

Consideration of feasibility report to establish a profile for 7th St. 1.7.0.) REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Council is asked to authorize preparation of a feasibility report which will establish the final profile for the 7th St. alignment and also provide complete cost estimates for the street construction. The information generated by this report will be integrated with the analysis of the stormwater system design. Prior to authorization of the study Council should be aware of some important developments with regard to this project. 1. K -Mart, through The Lincoln Companies, has indicated that the parking lot must be relatively flat. This can only be accomplished by elevating the 7th St. right of way, which also requires development of a 2' to 10' retaining wall along the north side of the street right of way. According to the City Engineer, this design is feasible. However, it creates a set of issues that must be resolved. Those issues include: A. Property owned by David Hornig across from the Mall will not be able to gain access to 7th St. As a consequence, the Hornig property will not benefit from the 7th St. development, and therefore cannot be assessed a portion of the cost. It is not entirely clear at this time how Hornig's share of the street cost will be financed. In addition, the cost to install the non-structural retaining wall, not including landscaping, is estimated to be $40,000. This added cost will be slightly offset by The Lincoln Companies coimnittment to complete all of the roadbed preparation as part of their project, which will save approximately $20,000. Ultimately, the added net cost will be distributed via the normal asaessim_nt process. It is not clear at this time who is going to pick up that portion of the project cost that would have otherwise been financed by Hornig. 7 think it is reasonable that since the parking lot demands of K -Mart forces the need to put in the retaining wall, it should be concluded that The Lincoln Companies should pay for the added cost to elevate 7th St. Another option would be to fund the added cost via the TIP program. 0. David Hornig has been cooperative in terms of looking at other options for gaining access to the undeveloped portion of his property. However, the alternate plan for developing this access has not yet been established. Three options are now being reviewed, which include: 1. Expanded use of the existing entrance. 2. Development of an access drive to Locuat. 3. Development of an access drive to Maple St. Council Agenda 12/11/89 It appears that it is feasible to develop an alternate plan for access, however there may be added cost for land acquisition or driveway development. These details need to be addressed as well. The most significant development regarding Council's review of this matter involves property owned by Marvin Kramer. Mr. Kramer has indicated that he has withdrawn his verbal agreement to sell the property at the price quoted previously. The price Mr. Kramer quoted earlier was $189,000 which included all outstanding unpaid assessments. Hindsight tells us that we should have purchased the option to buy Kramer's property when we had the chance. This was not done because Kramer wanted $1,000 for the option to buy and the term he proposed was too short. Kramer's withdrawl of his offer leaves the City with the following alternatives: ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: IA. Motion to order feasibility study establishing profile for 7th St. right of way, using straight alignment. Continue with pursuing the L'.raight alignment, but defer purchase or condemnation of Kramer's property until a development proposal is submitted by Kramer or other owner of the property. Under this alternative the City is taking its chances that a future developer of the property will utilize the proposed 7th St. right of way as planned. If a proposal is submitted that is not consistent with the planned right of way, the City may be forced to condemn the area necessary for the right of way, which could significantly increase the City's cost. It is not known at this time what- the cost would be to purchase Kramer's property once 7th St, is in. It is likely, however, that the cost of this property will increase when the project is completed. As a modified version of this alternative, the roadway alignment could be moved alightly to the north, and thus split the Kramer and Springborg property. This would have the affect of reducing the amount of land needed from Kramer and result in Kramer having a parcel that because of greater land area is more developable. It also requires that another party be involved (Springborg). The net cost of this option may not be much different Lhan running the road entirely through Kramer's property. 18. Act immediately to purchase Kramer's property or obtain an option for an immediate purchase. Although this option presents a difficult pill to swallow, it may be that by waiting until the road in in, we will further escalate the cost of the property and thus purchase of the property at the present time may be in our best interests. At the sane time, however, the very act of ordering a feasibility report for the straight alignment may, in a sense, act to 7 inflate the value of that land as though the road was already complete. Therefore, Kramer may inflate his price iironediately, which would dictate that we should then buy when we are ready. Council Agenda - 12/11/89 Of course, it makes no sense at all to purchase the property unless the project is assured, or until The Lincoln Companies would give us a financial guarantee equal to the cost of the purchase of Kramer's property. I think there is a good chance that the project will proceed, but this hunch is far from a guarantee. In addition, there appears to be slim or no chance that The Lincoln Companies would provide protection to the City if we act to purchase Kramer's property. Finally, at this time we do not know if Kramer will sell or his price has increased significantly since he withdrew his latest offer. Whatever the short-term price might be, it appears that there would be significant risk involved if the City purchased this property prior to development of the project. Motion to order feasibility study with 7th St. following curved alignment. City Council could revert to the previous curved aligmnent. This option creates a problem for Kramer because curving the roadway places his land In the PZM zone, which greatly diminishes the value of his property. This is our ace in the hole with Kramer. If Kramer forces the alignment south it reduces the value of his land and no one wins. we need to exploit this fact when negotiating with Kramer. It may be difficult to revert to the previous curve alignment because K -Mart and The Lincoln Companies may object. Realistically, however, they probably could revert to the old alignment. 3. Motion to table decision regarding feasibility study pending negotiations with Marvin Kramer. Council may wish to hold off on a decision pending efforts to negotiate a purchase price with Kramer. Tabling the decision will allow us to negotiate prior to "showing our hand" regarding final alignment. More than likely, under this option, Kramer will require that the City purchase the property prior to groundbreaking. This option may provide the City with the best position in terms of negotiation. The negative aspect to this decision is that it will introduce another project delay. It is not known at this time if the delay will create a significant problem in meeting Lhe March 1, 1990, groundbreaking deadline. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommnends alternative 1A. Council gave staff clear direction that the straight alignment is the beet alignment for the City. Unfortunately, the cost associated with the straight alignment may need to be adjusted, based on Kramer's withdrawl of his verbal agreement to sell his property for $190,000. Unless Kramer is willing to reinstate his previous purchase price, it is recommended that the City defer purchase or acquisition of the Kramer property until absolutely necessary. If Kramer does reinotate hie original purchase price, then Council may wish to act to acquire the property, thereby saving the future expense associated with condemnation proceedings.

Chuck DuFresne indicated that K -mart wants the store to open on September 15, 1990, which requires that Lhe structure be essentially cumpleLe by July 15, 1990. According to DUFresne's contractor, the grading work needs Lo begin by March t, 1990. DuFresne indicated that the initial focus for grading will be on the building site area so as Lo allow coneLruction Lo begin. DuFresne asked that the public fnprovetnento, including atorm water system, he installed by I,abor Day. Dave Putnam reviewed the parking lot configuration necessary Lo accomodate an elevated parking area. The configuration required a long entrance rairp connecting 7th Street Lo the point at the very entrance of the K -Mart store. It was de_Lermined that Lhis configuration would not be acceptable. Therefore, efforts focused on developing a method for elevating the. 7Lh Street right-of-way, which, therefore, will eliminate Lhe need for a ramped parking lot entrance. IL was determined that tho 7th StreeL right -of -Way grading would be conducted by Lhe ptfvaLe contractor developing the ta911 site, which would reduce road construction cost by 9 Memo December 1, 1989 Page 2 approximately $25,000. The retaining wall would cost approximately $40,000, not including landscaping, and would range from 2 feet to 10 feet high, depending upon location along the 7th Street right-of-way. For sections higher than 5 feet, the retaining wall would be staggered. At its highest point, the retaining wall would be 10 feet high with two 5 -foot sections. Responsibility for maintenance for this retaining wall was discussed. A decision on who would maintain the shrubbery and the retaining wall itself was not determined. However, normally this would be a City responsibility. A discussion ensued on the impact of elevating the roadway on the Hornig development planned for the future. After considerable discussion, it was concluded that the first priority would be to attempt to use the single access now used by the existing development, if this is an unacceptable alternative in Let -ins of planning traffic flow, etc., according to the City Planner, then the second alternative would be to develop a cul-de-sac at the end of Maple Street which would be shared with Ridgemont Apartments. This cul-de-sac would provide an alternate access point to the development area. However, the proposal would require cooperation from Ridgemant ApartmenLs and require either purchase of land or an easement for the driveway area. O'Neill indicated that he would call ,john Uban and determine Uban's recormmendation regarding the single access. lie would also follow up with a call to Dave Hornig to determine his view on the matter. A discussion of the site drainage problem ensued. As a result of the discussion, it was determined that OSM would submit a letter to the City outlining the Cost of a storm drainage feasibility study which would focus on both site specific and regional drainage issues facing this area. The letter would also outline The Lincoln Companies' portion of the cont to conduct the feasibility study. The letter outlining the feasibility to Still to be submitted to the City by December 6 for Council review December 11, 1989. It was also determined that the City Engineer and Dave Putnam will work together toward development of n project nchedule. Thin schedule is to he coinpleted.in the very near future. Chuck DUFreane also directed Dave Putnam to prepare a coSL eatinate for platting the entire property owned by The Lincoln Companies. O'Neill informed the group that Marvin Kramer has withdrawn his offer to sell his Innd to the City of Monticello at Lho price he had previously indicated. O'Neill noted that to sots extent further consideration of the straight alignment is based on the assumption that the Council is comfortable in continuing with the straight alignment, not knowing what the cost will be to someday acquire the Memo December 1, 1989 Page 3 Marvin Kramer property. It was suggested that we might be better off if The Lincoln Companies property is platted, which will dictate the street alignment as it passes the Kramer property. It was the general consensus to review the finance plan associated with this project at such time that the engineer's feasibility reports are coirplete. 66) L RECEIVED Orr-L-:aazn-i.�?yeroa u f 5cee.

L N1t L Council Agenda - 12/11/89 5. Consideration of interpretation of conditional use permit - Fair's Garden Center. W .O.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Council is asked to review the Christmas season use of the Fair Garden Center and determine if the use is in compliance with the terms of the conditional use permit granted some months ago. Specifically, a portion of the site area earmarked for parking is now being utilized for sales and storage of Christmas trees. Staff asks that Council review this matter and determine if a portion of the parking area may be used for Christmas tree sales and display area. According to the Fair Garden Center site plan approved by Council, Fair is required to develop 24 parking spaces. The parking area was determined by applying a ratio of parking spaces to outdoor and indoor retail sales or "floor area." The floor area was calculated based on the area necessary to display peak spring season inventories. All requirements associated with the original conditional use permit have been coirplied with except for the requirement that the parking area be striped. If one applies the same formula used to calculate the original parking requirement to the winter retail use of the property, the parking requirement could be reduced to 19-20 spaces because the retail floor area during Christmas tree sales operations is reduced by approximately 3,800 square feet. Under this scenerio, one parking space could possibly be eliminated for every 8,000 square foot reduction in floor area for a total reduction of 4-5 spaces. Unfortunately, Fair has eliminated the effective use of at least seven spaced therefore, the remaining parking area is insufficient in terms of the floor area to parking space ratio outlined by ordinance. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the use of 14 parking spaces for Christens tree display and storage on the grounds that the remaining parking area is of sufficient capacity during the Christmas season business activity conducted at Fair 'a Garden Center. This amounts to an amendment to the conditional use permit granted aome montho ago. Please note that for this amendment to be binding, a public hearing and review by the Planning Commission day be necessary. 2. Motion to amend the conditional use permit by relocating parking spaces displaced by the Christmas trees to another area on the site. Under this alternative, parking spaces earmarked where the trees now are would be moved to an area within the interior of the site. Council might have noticed a directional sign at a site entrance point which indicates where this parking area is. The problem with this alternative is that the interior parking area, though sufficient in Council Agenda - 12/11/89 terms of size, may not be used because of its inconvenient location. An argument could be made that these spaces should not replace the parking spaces lost because they will not be used. 3. Motion to deny amend,nent to the conditional use permit which would allow Fair to utilize parking spaces for Christmas tree sales and storage. Council may take the position that the conditional use permit was granted with Christmas tree sales considered at that time and that it is not appropriate to amend the conditional use permit. Under this alternative, Council may demand from Fair that he remove the trees from the parking area or face City sanctions which could include action to obtain a restraining order. 4. Motion to direct Fair to move a portion of the trees off at least four of the dedicated parking spaces. ,,, (' K -�-V AAA � may,,. — Qw, SS C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: �oQ 5QA0al1,1. uAaye, iF i"""'4 iS oly. -+0 Staff recowiends alternative /4. Since the current use of the property does not demonstrate sufficient parking spaces per floor area; it, is recomended that action be taken to rectify the situation by requiring that Fair move a portion of the trees off the dedicated parking area. It appears that the si rplest solution is to require that Fair simply relocate trees in a manner that will make a minimum of 19 or 20 parking spaces available. If this is done, the wintertime floor area to parking space ratio will be consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. Under this alternative, Council could take the position that parking demands are greater during the spring season than during the Christm9s season and that seasonal parking requirements should reflect that difference. It is not recommended that the rear or interior of the lot be identified as a parking area, as it is not likely that the spaces will be used. If Fair is unwilling to coiq)ly with Council's wishes, then the process of issuing a resLraining order could be initiated. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of approved site plan with conditional use permit requirements. OTHER CHRISTMAS TREE. ISSUES This is to inform Council the staff has notified the owners of the West Side Market and North Country Small Engine (213 East Third St.) that operation of Christmas tree sales at those locations is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. In the case of the West Side Market, such activity represents an expansion of a nonconforming use. in the case of North Country Small Engine, the Christmas tree sales is allowable after first obtaining a conditional use permit. �A 6 Council Agenda - 12/11/89 C Staff is not planning further action on this matter unless directed to do so by Council. Quite frankly, although both of these operations are in violation of the ordinance, there may be insufficient cause at this time to pursue the matter. For instance: Neither situation has created a public safety hazard or generated more than one complaint. Given the short duration of the violation and the limited precedent that is set, significant efforts to "shut them down" do not appear justified from an economic standpoint. As in the case with Fair's Garden Center, the City does have a history of allowing nonconforming uses to continue for some duration while the details of the permit are worked out, especially when the public is not at !immediate risk. These details should be worked out and the proper permits granted by next Christims season. C Council Agenda - 12/11/89 5. Consideration of altering terms of 78-1 project assessment roll. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: In December of 1982, property owners affected by the 78-1 i;rprovement, 79-1 improvement, and also the 80-1 and 80-2 improvements, petitioned the City Council to request extending the term of the assessments for their projects to longer than five and ten years that had been originally assessed. Beginning with the 78-1 project, the City Council had revised its assessment policy based on a recoimnendation from our bond consultant ^`- to a shorter assessment teen of five years rather than 20 years. The ti Ci 79-1 and also the 1980 projects were assessed at ten years. The property owners requested an extension or reamortization of their assessment rolls to a longer period of time, as they were having difficulty in keeping the payments current due to the large amounts annually. In addition, development had slowed; and as a result., the property was not being sold as quickly. Due to the fact that the 1979 and 1980 projects were already assessed at ten years but the 1978 project was only assessed over five years, the Council agreed to review the five-year assessment for the 1978 project. The Council discussed in March, April, and May of 1983 the effects of reassessing this project and decided to reassess the 78-1 project based on a 20 -year amortization schedule with a balloon payment after ten years. Other conditions attached to the reassessmnt included the requirement that the property owners bring current all hack assessments that would have been due under a 20 -year amortization schedule and to also enter into an agreement which would require the property owners to deed over to the City their individual parcels if they did not meet the halloon payment requirement due December 31, 1981). In effect, this treated their project the same as a ten-year assessment but a balloon payment was still due. There are currently six lots within Sandberg South affected by this assessment and one lot in Oakwood Industrial Park that have a total combined balloon payment due of $57,947.52 on December 31. On October 19, 1989, I sent a letter to all of the affected property owners informing them of the balloon payment due at the end of December and inquired as to whether any property owner had a problem with the teens and conditions, central Minnesota Projections, a partnership that owns five lots in Sandberg South, indicated that they may have a problem in meeting the balloon payment requirements and requested the Council consider another extension. The Oakwood Partnership and Mr. Dave Peterson of Monticello Ford did not specifically request any special consideration but would be agreeable to further extensions if granted to the other property owners. The reassessment agreements that were signed by all property owners in 1983 do indicate that they will iimnediately execute a quit claim deed to 4 the City if they are delinquent or do not make the balloon payment as required. If the assessment roll is not extended, the City could enforce Council Agenda - 12/11/89 this agreement and acquire title to the property in question; but according to our City Attorney, the City might also acquire this property subject to any mortgages existing. In other words, the City may have title to the property but would be also subject to paying off any existing debt. I don't believe the City really is interested in owning this property, only collecting the assessments. Up until this point, all of the affected property owners have been keeping their annual instalbnents current, and there are no delinquencies. Based on this, I assume that if the Council was receptive to extending the time period again for this assessment roll, the property owners may be able to continue to keep their payments current. On the other hand, the assessment roll has been respread once, and the question becomes how many times should the City refinance an assessment roll if the property owners run into difficulty in selling their property. If the assessments were again spread over a longer period of time, I do not think we should consider more than five years, as this would bring the total to 15 years, which is not unreasonable. One of the problems with reassessing the project again is that there still will be no guarantee that the assessments would be paid each year, and the City may still not receive any money until the property is sold. A possible suggestion if the Council is willing to respread this project once more would be to possibly obtain a first mortgage on the property in exchange for respreading the assessments. Under this option, if the �- assessments aren't paid within the five years, the City could commeence legal action to foreclose on the property and not be subject to waiting three, five, or ten years for the County to place the property up for sale under tax forfeiture rules. This would be similar to what the City did when it reassessed comm of the Meadow Oak subdivision in 1983. Although I don't personally think the property owners will be receptive to the City taking a first mortgage, if this was the only option provided for extending the assessments, the property owners may be more inclined to obtain their own financing and pay off the balloon payment as originally agreed to. If the property is owned free and clear by the individual property owners, obtaining a first mortgage nn the City's behalf may be much easier. But where the problem will comm in is if there is an existing lending institution with a first mortgage. In this case, the property owners would have to have the lending institution agree to become a second lienholder or pay off the mortgage to allow the City to have the first mortgage. If they can pay off a mortgage, they could just as well pay off the assessments. B. ALTERNATIVP. ACTIONS: 1. Council could inform the property owners that the assessment roll was already reassessed once to provide for a ten year payoff, and the City is not interested in another reassessment without obtaining a first mortgage on the property. prl"" T 10 �A Jr i Council Agenda - 12/11/89 2. The Council could agree to let the assessments run another five years or ten years or whatever you choose. Under this option, I would inform the County to continue placing annual installments on the tax rolls for whatever number of years determined. 3. Council could indicate that the reassessment agreement will stand as is; and if the balloon payment is not paid by December 31, 1989, the City would take legal action to obtain title to the property. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I believe the Council realized the possible mistake in assessing the original project over only five years and tried to accommodate the property owners in 1983 when they were given an additional five years with a balloon payment. Staff certainly realizes that the property has not developed as quickly as the owners had anticipated, but the real question becomes should the City be the financing institution for property owners. I don't believe the City is really interested in acquiring title to any of these properties, as we do not want to be in the real estate business, and we may be subject to any existing mortgages that are outstanding against these parcels. With the 1978 bond already being retired by the City, there is not an absolute necessity to collect this balloon payment on December 31 in order to twet any debt service requirements. Because of this, I would not oppose the reassessment for an additional five years if it would make it easier for the property owners to pay their installments but question whether this will set a precedent whereby the Council ;nay be facing the same situation on other projects as soon as the property doesn't sell as quickly as the developers had hoped for. I believe if the aesessment is extended, it would be a reasonable request to obtain a first mortgage to ensure that Lhis is the last time the Cuuncil is faced with Lhis. D.

Mr. Reilly requested that the City reimburse him for all costs associated with digging the first hole which also damaged two Elm trees which will probably die in the near future. He requested that the City remove the existing trees and pay for the restoration of the first hole and also pay for the restora- tion of the third excavation near the house that would not have been necessary had the second staking been accurate. Mr. Reilly noted that he was not able to have his contractors at the meeting and since they would be more familiar with the actual work they performed, he requested that possibly the City Council table any action on his request until the next meeting to enable all parties to be in attendance. It was the Council consensus to table this item until the next meeting. 7. Consideration of Overlay on Oakwood Drive (Gould Brothers Service Road). John Simola, Public Works Director, reviewed with the Council the completed plans and specifications for the overlaying of Gould Brother's Service Road with a two inch overlay and re - graveling the shoulders. The estimated cost of this work is $14,402. Mr. Simola noted that the plans and specifications also included an option for using approximately 600 feat of reinforcing fabric under the overlay in a test arse to see if this material helps prevent the roadway from deteriorating due to cracks and water seepage. This additional fabric re- inforcing material would add an additional $2,250 to the total project coat bringing the total to $16,652. A motion was made by Maus, seconded by Fair and unanimously carried to approve the plans and specifications as presented for overlaying the service road and to authorize advertising for bids with and without the option of the reinforcing fabric. OB. Consideration of Proposed Reassessment of the 78-Improvemant Pro oat.' A few months ago, soma property owners aoscoaad under the 1978 Improvement Project for sewer and water and street improvements requested the Council to consider reassessing the original assessments over a longer poriod of time rather than 5 years as initially assessed. A majority of the proporty owners were having difficulty in meeting the largo payments and were becoming delinquent. Tho initial petition 9 Council Minutes - 5/24/83 by the property owners requested that the assessments be pro- rated over a longer period of time such as 20 years. The City Staff along with its fiscal consultants, Springsted, Inc., have been reviewing the assessments and preparing alterna- tive assessment rolls using various options. A new assessment roll was prepared for the property owner's review that amortized the original assessment over a 20 year period of time but would have a balloon at the end of 10 years. The group of property owners affected by the 78-1 assessment presented to the Council the following proposal for re- assessment: 1. Change the assessment basis to a 20 year amortization with a 10 year balloon. 2. The property owners would agrea to pay all back assessments under the 20 year schedule that were due for the years 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1983 based on an interest rate of 6S%. 3. Agree to the remaining principal balance to be assessed 5 at 7S% for the next six years. 4. Requested that the City waive all penalties of all de- linquent assessments. 5. Agreement of all parties involved to pay assessments in full as lots are sold and certificate of occupancy is issued. Discussion was hold by the Council on whether the City should consider waiving the existing penalties on delinquent payments for the past three years and it was recommended that as an alternative, the City would agree to add the delinquent penalties to the unpaid principal balance that would be spread over the remaining six years of the assessments. In addition, it %as racomRmendod that the property owners be responsible for all costs incurred in preparing new assessment rolls and con- sulting fees incurred to data. These additional charges would nlso be prorated amongst the property owners and added to their assessment balances. In liaht of these comoromisoo, the interest rate on the assessments for the next six years would remain at 65a interest as originally cortifiad. A majority of the property owners have indicated a willingness to participate in the reassessment proposad, and as a result, a motion was made by Maus, seconded by Fair and unanimously carried to authorize tho reassessment of the 78-1 Improvement Project to all property owners affected under the following conditionsm Council Minutes - 5/24/83 1. The assessment roll would be based on a 20 year amortization schedule with a balloon after 10 years. Only the amount of the first 10 years including interest will be certified to the County Auditor for collection with the balloon payment to be guaranteed to the City by execution of individual contracts with the property owners. 2. The property owners must bring current all back assessments that would be due under the 20 year amortization schedule for the years 1980, 1981 1982 and 1983. 3. The interest rate on the future assessments will be at the current 65% rate. 4. The current penalties on delinquencies will be added to the principal balance owing for each property owner and amortized over the remaining 6 years. 5. All expenses incurred by the City to accomplish this readjustment shall be prorated and added to remaining principal balance and amortized over the next 6 years. 6. All current and future assessments will be paid in full within 120 days of when lots are sold. Special cases may be proposed to the City Council for their review. 9. Approval of Bills for Month of May. A motion was made by Maus, seconded by Maxwell and unani- mously carried to approve the bills for the month of May as presented. Seo Exhibit 01.

Consideration of authorizing entering into a sidewalk maintenance agreement with MN/DOT. (R.W .) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: As part of the Highway 25 overpass imnprovement recently completed by MN/D01., sidewalk improvements were constructed from 7th Street to the bridge overpass and also to Oakwood Drive along Highway 25. Although the sidewalk improvements were paid for by MN/DOT as part of the project, the City of Monticello will he responsible for maintenance of the sidewalk portions leading up to the bridge structure. John Simnola and myself met with representatives of MN/DOT to discuss the maintenance agreement and requested some additional language be inserted to request that MN/DOT aid in snow removal on portions of the sidewalk by winging off snow from the bridge to 7th Street and Oakwood Drive. The original maintenance agreement proposed by MN/DOT had the entire snow removal process the responsibility of the City from 7th Street and Oakwood Drive to the actual beginning of the bridge structure. In addition, a change was made in the maintenance agreement to make it the City's responsibility for all maintenance for the useful life of the sidewalk rather than forever. The staff had concerns of being responsible for replacing the sidewalk if it would deteriorate to a condition where replacement was warranted. This change now only requires the City to maintain the sidewalk for a normal useful life. B. ALTERNATIVF. ACTIONS: 1. Authorize entering into the sidewalk maintenance agreement with MN/DOT. 2. Do not authorize entering into maintenance agrecmmment. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is MN/DOT's normal policy to require the mmmicipalities where sidewalks are constructed along state highways to be responsible for routine maintenance, snow removal, etc. With the changes mentioned above being incorporated into the contract and also with MN/DOT's agreement to Install a hand railing along the portion of the sidewalk constructed from the troll entrance to the bridge, the staff is comfortable with the maintenance agreement and recommends acceptance as submitted, it should be noted that the City of Monticello did not have to contribute any funds toward the construction of the sidewalk improvements.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: As discussed at the budget hearing on December 4, we have begun moving into the old NSP building to combine the offices of the Public Works Director, Street and Park Superintendent, and Water and Sewer Collection Superintendent. The building will also house supplies and equipment for the water/sanitary collection system maintenance. Prior to moving into the building, City staff had an approximate idea of the remodeling cost, furniture, and miscellaneous equipment cost although we did not have an actual list of the needs. In preparation for this, we placed an amount of $10,000 in the budget for 1990. Once NSP vacated the building and we began cleaning and inspecting the building, we were able to formulate a more detailed list of needs. This occurred the last week of November. Since our initial list, which we gave you on the 4th, additional items have come to light, and we have refined the cost of others. The Building Inspector has indicated that the doors leading into the back shop area will need to be replaced with fire proof steel doors. The Building Inspector has also authorized and replaced the locks at the building to caply with an overall City improvement pian in that area. In addition, we have determined that the original snap rack estimate was inaccurate, and it has been revised. lastly, we have obtained an agreement from NSP to pay for the necessary sheetrock in the back shop, as it was originally their responsibility to bring this portion of the building up to code. We have enclosed a copy of the revised list for your review. please stop by the building to review the proposed improvements with staff. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative would he to authorize the expenditures as included on the list. 2. The second alternative is to modify as necessary based upon observation from the Council any of the items on the list. C. STAPP RF)COIRIENDATION: it is the recoumrndatfon of the Public Works Director, Street and Park Superintendent, and Water and Collections Systems Superintendent that the Council authorize expenditures as proposed on the list. 0.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The City staff and City Engineer are concerned about problems that could occur due to temperature changes of the water in our new tank. During the winter time, severe icing problems can occur in water tanks. It is iiq:)ortant to have enough daily water changes in the tank during the winter months to reduce the possibility of heavy ice formation. Since our tank is somewhat isolated and a long way from our water source, the water will be significantly cooler than it was in our old tank. In addition, because of the size of the tank, the water will be in the tank much longer and, therefore, allow cooling. Typically, there is very little water used in the city during the winter from 9:00 p.m, to 6:00 a.m. if the City had temmq>erature monitoring equipment on the inlet/outlet of the tank, we could better make decisions as to operation of the tank during the winter mmriths by making adjustments or wasting cold water if absolutely necessary. Although less likely, during the sumner months we could have a similar problem in that water will tend to warm up as it sits in the tank. As the water warms up, the likelihood of the polyphosphates continuing to hold iron and manganese in suspension diminishes, and these materials could be released, causing problems with water quality. A temrperature monitoring device would allow us to again operate the tank in such a fashion as to reduce the warming effect during the summner months to a ire nageahle ammunt. The temperature monitoring device consists simply of a teiq)erature probe installed in the pipe at the new water tank and a connection to the existing remote telemetric unit. A small modification at that end is needed to send the proper signal. At the other end of the facility at the reservoir, an additional logic card would be needed as well as a digital readout of temperature. There would be high and low set points for the water which would notify the operators by alarm dialer when the temperature of the water was not within operational limits. Since our water sysLem control is manufactured by Autocon, and the only local representative for this company is Automatic Systems, we are somewhat tied to this company for maintenance repairs and modifications. We have obtained a quote from Automatic Systems for the necessary modifications for temperature monitoring, and the total cost is $4,792. If the equipment is ordered immediately, we are expecting installation in early January. 14 C Council Agenda - 12/11/89 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative would be to authorize installation of the temperature monitoring equipment from Automatic Systems at a cost of $4,792. 2. The second alternative is not to install the temperature monitoring equipment but to wait and see if one of the above problems develops. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director, Water Superintendent, and City Engineer that the Council authorize installation of the water monitoring equipment as outlined in alternative ;1. Although we may be able to operate the system satisfactorily without the temperature control, should one of the above problems develop, it could cause serious ramifications in damage to our new tank or reduction of water quality during the summer months ir, the community. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of the quote from Automatic Systems should it arrive by Monday evening's meeting. 15 c. AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS CO.

Consideration of obtaining quotes and authorization to wire new check valves at the reservoir on Chelsea Road. (.I.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Modifications planned for the City's water reservoir on Chelsea Road include the installation of four slow opening and closing electronically controlled check valves as previously authorized by City Council (one for each booster pump), the wiring of these valves to the existing control panel, rebuilding booster pump #3 and exchanging the 30 h.p. motor for a 40 h.p. motor along with a new starter, and completely replacing booster pump 14 and the motor with a 60 h.p. unit along with a soft start. These modifications are necessary to restore the pumping capabilities of the reservoir at the new higher pressures created by the new water tank. Each of the four pumps at the reservoir prior to the improvements were capable of pwrping approximately 650 gallons per minute. The pupping capability when the new tank is full is now 350 gallons per minute for each puup. We need to get the total discharge capabilities of the ground reservoir back to the original capacity of 2,000 gallons per minute, which is still less than the capacities of wells A3 and @4, which are 600 and 2,150 GPM respectively. City staff has already installed two of the electronically controlled check valves on the two booster pumps which are not intended to be modified. The City Engineer has developed specifications by which we can obtain quotes for the necessary wiring, and we are continuing working toward specifications for the pwnp modifications and replacement. Since it to necessary to keep the ground reservoir in operation during the iisproveuients, the construction and replacement will actually be staged, but we need the valve wiring done to begin the first stage and, therefore, request that the City Council authorize us to obtain quotes and have this portion of the work completed. At the first meeting in January, we will hring forth recomendat tons for the rebuilding of booster pmt 13 and replacement of booster pwap p4. The original construction estimate for all the modifications to the ground reservoir pupping system we got in 1988 was $30,000. This has been upgraded to $45,000. The wiring of the valves is expected to be around $2,500. B. ALTERNATIVE. ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative is to authorize City staff to obtain quotes for the electrical work for the wiring necessary to hook up the new check valves to the existing system and have this work performed. The estimate for this portion of the work is in the neighborhood of $2,500. 2. The second alternative is not to authorize quotes and have this portion of the work performed at this time but to wait. This is not in the beat interest of the City, as this work has to be staged, and we will not be able to operate without wiring these new check valves in. 16 It Council Agenda - 12/11/89 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recomnendation of the Public Works Director and Water Superintendent that the Council authorize us to obtain quotes and have this portion of the work performed as outlined in alternative 11. Should the quotes be unreasonable or exceptionally high, City staff will bring this issue back before the Council at the first meeting in January. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Suucnary of water system iirprovements to date; Update on current and expected costs. 17 December 6, 1989 SUMMARY OF WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The City's water system analysis performed by OSM in July of 1985 outlined several improvements for the City in regard to its water system. The following is a list of those improvements. 1. Additional well capacity with a third well. The City could no longer operate with the single well if the second one went down. Demand was too great. 2. Construction of a new ground level reservoir on Monti Hill or an elevated water tower near the Industrial Park. 3. The inner connecting lines between the reservoir or tower to the water system. 4. Connecting the Chelsea Road water main with the water main on Mississippi Drive and MacArlund Plaza. 5. The upgrading of municipal well 11 (motor changed to 75 h.p. in 1986). Existing capacity of the well was 1,200 gallons per minute. The pump was expected to pummp only 600 to 700 gallons a minute when the new tank was built. 6. The upgrading of well d2, pump and motor. The 60 h.p. pump had capabilities of 1,200 gallons per minute with the old system. Again the existing capacity was expected to be cut in half with the new tank due to the higher pressures. 7. Increasing the size of the water main in the area of wells 1 6 2 to limit turbulence in the water mains in this area. B. The installation of pressure reducing stations at various points or within homes and businesses in the lower parts of Monticello. 9. The modification of one or more booster pumps at the reservoir. in addition to the installation of four electronically controlled check valves at the reservoir. The existing pumps were capable of pumping 650 gallons per minute each, with a combined capacity of 2,150 gallons per minute. The new capacity of the reservoir pumping into the new tank was expected to be less than 1,200 gallons per minute. 10. Coupletion of a new electronic control system to be installed partly with a pumphouse construction for well t3 and partly with a new tank or tower. The following is the status of the above referenced projects and how they developed. 1. well A3 was located near the existing ground reservoir on Chelsea Road. It produced on 600 gallons per minute and a lower quality of water than was available at other wells within the City. After additional investigation it was decided to drill well 04 at a location at the south end of the Industrial Park on city owned land since well $3 did not have adequate capacity. This well proved very fruitful and is currently pumping 2,150 gallons per minute. It was necessary to install approximately 1,200 ft. of inner connecting pipe from well $4 back to 13 where the pumphouse is located. Both wells $3 s 4 puinp directly into the reservoir and their capacity is totally affected by the capacity of the ground reservoir on Chelsea Road to purnp this water out. 2. The 800,000 gallon water tank located on top of the Monti Club hill is 998 coirplete, and was put into operation in late September of this year. We currently have between 10 to 12 feet of water in the tank which has produced a city wide pressure boost of approximately 10 psi. Once the frost is out of the ground in the Spring of 1990 we will begin increasing the pressure and monitoring its effects until we reach a total boost in the coimnunity of 27 lbs. per square inch. 3. A 16" inter connecting line has been constructed from the water tank on top of the Monti Hill to the existing water system near the Middle School. 4. The Chelsea Road water inain has been extended across I-94 where it drops down to a 21" diameter size, a 16" diameter size, and finally to a 12" size as it continues down County Road 39 and connects to Mississippi Drive. 5. The upgrading of iwnicipal well @1 is not yet completed. The pwrp is in place and we are awaiting delivery of a new 100 h.p. motor and soft start, which will give us our original capacity of this well with 1,200 gallons per minute when our new tank is full. 6. The upgrading of well @2 will not take place until well Al is fully operational with the new motor. We expect to utilize the 75 h.p. motor from well li in this installation. we will be reporting to the Council on the expected capacity of well !2, with the 75 h.p. motor when it has been removed for inspection. 7. The water main in the area of wells 1 5 2 in the downtown area has been enlarged, and that project is coirplete. 8. The City has offered 425 pressure reducing valves at no charge to residents whose home was built prior to 1965. Currently 200 residents have requested those valves and have installed them or are in the process of same. The City also offered a valve at cost to anyone whose home was built in 1965 or later who wished to control the pressure in their home. 9. Two of the four electronically controlled check valves have been installed at the reservoir. we are currently in the process of evaluating the existing puirp capacities with OSM to determine the necessary modifications needed. Staff is requesting the City Council authorize the wiring be completed for the four electronically controlled check valves. 10. The electronic control system is now couplete. City staff has requested a modification of this system to include tetgx±rature monitoring of the new tank. 0 WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMFNTS y' MONTICELLO, MINNESOTA 1` DECEMBER 4, 1989 A I.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Council is asked to consider making an adjustment to the wage received by Cathy Shuman retroactive to Cathy's successful completion of her six-month probationary period. Council is asked to consider an adjustmnent in light of the following factors: 1. Cathy was hired to replace Lynnea; however, she was selected because her resume revealed unique skills and abilities that administration viewed as vital to meet the emerging commputer related demands of the position. She was selected from over 180 applicants because it appeared that she had the skills necessary to move implemnentation of the utility billing system forward. When Cathy was hired, Rick and I informmed her that if she was able to implement the system, staff would recommnend that City Council increase her wage to a level comparable to the wage received by other clerical staff. In addition, we talked about the potential for development of a "new position" which might result from demeands associated with operating a computer system. Cathy took the position on the hunch that Lynnea's position would evolve into one of greater responsibility and importance relative to the City organization. As it turned out, her hunch was correct. At the time Cathy's six-month probation rolled around, the utility billing system was implemmmented and Cathy had demonstrated her credentials by her excellent job performance. It was now time for administration to make good on our promise to review her wage. -his was not done at this timme because it was still unclear what level of responsibility Cathy would assume in the future, as our computer plan recently presented was not yet in place. We thought that discussion of the six-month increase could be deferred until Cathy's responsibilities and "comparable worth" were identified. As it turned out, it took until December to complete the plan, which left Cathy in the lurch in terms of consideration of her six-month increase. Please note, however, that Cathy has patiently supported deferring consideration of the increase until the computer plan was prepared. Now that the plan is in place and Council has given its blessing to modifying her job description and pay via the commparable worth study planned, staff requests that Council consider providing an increase to Shuman's wage retroactive to the end of her six-month probationary period, which was September 1, 1989. R. ALTERNATIVE. ACTIONS: 1. Motion to increase Cathy Shuman's hourly wage from $8.95 to 81.15 ) retroactive to September 1, 1989. / Is Council Agenda - 12/11/89 Under this option, Cathy would receive a wage increase that would place her wage at a level equal to the wage received by the Executive Secretary. Although it is a considerable increase and established in a somewhat arbitrary manner relative to the clerical salaries, it may be a fair adjustment in that the proposed wage more truly reflects the skills required and work demands associated with the system implementation work she has completed. Under this scenerio, the wage would be provided on an interim basis only and would be effective from the end of the six-month probation period to the official "start date" for the position identified via the comparable worth study. Please note that the comparable worth study will likely reveal that Cathy should be raking more than the hourly rate suggested, which means that Cathy may receive an additional increase in the near future. If the comparable worth study is completed in February, it tmay be that Council will be asked again to provide retroactive pay to that date identified as the "start date" for the new position. In reality, Cathy has already undertaken those responsibilies via her assistance with the development of the computer plan and through assistance with the development of the system purchase proposal being prepared for the January meeting. Under this scenerio, Cathy would receive retroactive pay in the amount of $806.93. This amount, along with the other wages expended for this position during 1990, is within the aimunt budgeted for this position. She would also receive $10.35 per hour until the start date for the new position is identified. 2. Motion to approve wage increase and approve retroactive pay increase at a lesser level identified by Council. Under this scenerio, Council would elect not to recognize the changed status of the position as of the end of the six-month probationary period. Council may not be comfortable with a $1.40 increase per hour and a retroactive pay atou nt of $806.93. Council could take the position that Shuman should have received an adjustment at the end of the six-month probation period that reflects her mastery of the original utility billing clerk position and that such an increase should not be based on the fact that she was comrpleting duties above and beyond what was required for the position. Council might also justify a lesser increase than proposed on the basis that Shuman's wage should not be brought up iso quickly to the level of a clerical employee that has been working with the City since 1983. 3. Motion to postpone decision to adjust Cathy's wage until comrQsletion of the comparable worth study. Council trey take the position that a single adjustment and potential retroactive pay be considered at such time that the comparable worth 4 study is coinplete. 19 E4 council Agenda - 12/11/89 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Cathy Shuman's wage be adjusted to a level equal to the Executive Secretary position and that such pay should be retroactive to the end of her six-month probationary period. Granted, it seems a bit unfair to established clerical staff to establish Shuuan's wage at a level equal to the level of a clerical employee that has been occupied for six years. At the same time, however, the work tasks completed by Shuman are administrative as well as c:erical, and the skills and abilities to successfully complete her duties greatly exceed skills needed to fulfill Lynnea's strictly clerical position. In addition, administration informed Cathy that we would "come to bat" for her if she performed within expectations established when she agreed to work for the City. Of course, Cathy has always been aware that the ultimate decision regarding increases is up to the Council, and, therefore, she did recognize the risk that the Council might not follow staff recommendation with regards to future job description changes, salary increases, etc. Council might ask, if we provide retroactive pay to Cathy to compensate her for added responsibilities assumed since originally accepting the position, are we not responsible for retroactive pay to all employees that make the similar argument that they have been working under a dated job description. It is staff's view that Cathy's situation is somewhat unique in that she was promised a six-month wage review as one of the ! terms of her employment. This situation applies to no other employees. D. SUPPORTING DATA: None. 20 a_ t Council Agenda - 12/11/89 12. Consideration of authorizing advertisement for receptionist/data entry clerk position. (R.w.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The purpose of this item is to request authorization from the City Council allowing the stafr to begin preparation of a job description and advertisement for a receptionist/data entry clerk position. with our second meeting in December being cancelled, staff is seeking the go—ahead on preparing an advertisement for this new position, as it is anticipated the entire process could take up to a month before an individual could be hired. Based on the general consensus of the Council as a result of our data processing special meting and budget review session, I believe the Council is in agreement that with Cathy Shuman assuming a major emphasis on our implementation of our new coumputer system, the receptionist duties and, in the future, utility billing activities, will be in need of an individual. Assuming the computer process goes on schedule, Ca thy's tune, along with Marlene's in regard to the fund accounting system iirplementation, will require most of their time, requiring the need for a receptionist almost immnediately. Although I have not had time to prepare a coirplete job description, if the Council authorizes this position, I should be able to comrmplete a job description and determine approximately where on the comparable worth scale this position would fall prior to placing the ad. Based on the previous job description for Lynnea Gillham's utility billing/receptionist category, I an assuming, after reviewing the actual coinarable worth data, the position will be somewhat similar and fall in the general category of other clerical staff irrir&ra. Also, assuming that the couparable worth plan will have to be adjusted to reflect the cost of living increases over the past four years, I amn assumning the pay scale for this position should start at approximately $7.50 per hour. This rate of pay is estimated to be 808 of the comparable worth pay for Lynnea's previous job description; but if it should turn out after reviewing and establishing a new job description that the position is actually in a lower classification, $7.50 per hour would still only be at the bottom of the pay range. As a result, it could turn out that no further adjustmnents will be necessary to this position's pay scale. If the position is determined to be comparable to other clerical staff positions, the pay scale could be reviewed after the six-month probationary period and increased to 90! of the appropriate wage with further adjustments in the future after the individual was a determined to be satisfactory and able to accomplish all the duties and requirements of the job. r ,fJ ( R. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: •.:� �1. Authorize the staff to prepare an advertisement for the clerical position of receptionist/data entry clerk and establish a job description and resulting coinparable worth value. 21 Council Agenda - 12/11/89 t 2. Do not authorize establishing the position vacancy until we begin our actual computer implementation program. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Due to the 30 -day or more lag time between advertising and actually hiring an employee, and due to the fact that our next Council meeting will not be until January 8, 1990, staff recommends that the job description be established and authorization be granted to advertise as soon as practical. with sometime in January being the date for starting the 1uplementation of our new fund accounting system, both Cathy and Marlene's time will be heavily devoted to this process. As a result, the need for a receptionist will dramatically increase during this training process, as two individuals will be primarily unavailable for normal telephone/receptionist duties and public contact. If after determining that the job description and resulting comparable worth value is different than what I expect it to be, I would again seek approval of the City Council before advertising. But I feel in either case, the $7.50 starting wage would be justifiable. D. SUPPORTING DATA: None. C_ 22 f Council Agenda - 12/11/89 13. Consideration of gambling license renewal - Joyner Lanes. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Celebrity Bowl Charities of Minneapolis has applied to the State Gambling Control Board for renewal of their pull tab gambling operation located at ooyner Lanes. In accordance with our policy, I have informed the organization to provide a 12 -month summary of their revenues, expenses, and charitable contributions that have been made from the profits realized. Enclosed you will find a listing of the profits for the past 12 months and a summary of their charitable donations. If the City Council does not have any objection to the license being renewed, the Charitable Gambling Control Board will automatically renew the license. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. If the Council does not oppose the license, the renewal will be granted automatically. 2. The City can object to the license being renewed in which case the State will deny the application. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The City staff is not aware of any problems or complaints regarding this gambling license nt Joyner Lanes and does not have any reason to suggest the Council should deny the application. One possible reason for recommending denial of the application could he that the Charitable donations are not being made local but are used for organizations or gifts outside of the commnunity. Otherwise, it has been the Council's policy to let the m9rket determine the nummber of gambling license operations. D.
