Rick Wolfsteller reported that the committee charged with
researching the proposal has held two meetings to review the
proposal and receive input from City representatives along
with input from the Jaycees, Lions, Foodshelf, and Social
Services agencies. Wolfstoller reported that it was the
consensus of the committee to develop the following remodeling

Council Minutes - 4/8/91
The Monticello Jaycees, along with other organizations,
would commit to funding the improvements estimated at
$36,000.
Wes Olson of the Monticello Jaycees went on to review the plan
in more detail. Council then went on to discuss the details
of the arrangement.
After discussion, a motion was made by Dan Blonigen and
seconded by Brad Fyle to approve the subcommittee's proposal
for remodeling and leasing the old fire hall to the Foodshelf
and Christian Social Services. Final approval of the proposal
is to occur with Council approval of agreements governing the
use of the fire hall. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of qrantinq seasonal sales permit--Martie's Farm
Service.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the Planning
Commission had recommended that City Council grant a seasonal
sales permit to Martie's Farm Service, which would allow
retail sale of items from a temporary tent structure placed on
the property from April 15, 1991, to June 15, 1991.
Mayor Maus noted that this item had been reviewed and approved
by the Planning Commission. It was his view that this type of
retail land use is appropriate at this location. Dan Blonigen
concurred that Martie's Farm Service is in an appropriate
location for the type of business activity that is conducted.
A motion was made by Brad Fyle and seconded by Dan Blonigen to
grant a seasonal sales permit to Martie's Farm Service.
Motion carriod unanimously.
Review operation of auto sales activity and determine if use
represents an enlargement of non-conformina use. Aoolicant.
Hoqlund Transportation/94 Services.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that Hoglund
Transportation/94 Services has been selling used vehicles from
a grassy area along the Oakwood Drive aide of their property.
In response to this activity, staff requested that Hoglund
apply for a conditional use permit, as it appeared to City
staff that establishment of an auto sales lot represented a
new use or at a minimum represented an enlargement of existing
commercial use of the property. In response, Hoglund
submitted a plan for providing improvements to the site. The
Page 2
10
Council Minutes - 4/8/91
plan also outlined a manner of operation that would be
consistent with conditional use requirements set forth by
ordinance.
O'Neill went on to report that the Planning Commission
recommended a reversal of initial staff determination that the
auto sales lot represents an enlargement of an existing use.
Planning Commission determined that auto sales at this
location on the property as proposed is merely a continuation
of sales activity that existed prior to the inception of the
ordinance; therefore, auto sales as proposed is a lawful non-
conforming use. If one agrees with this conclusion, then a
conditional use permit is not needed; and existing non-
conforming unpaved parking and drive areas associated with the
Hoglund Transportation business activity need not be upgraded.
Council reviewed the proposed plan for establishment of an
auto sales lot. It was Council's conclusion that the proposal
represented an enlargement to an existing use; therefore, a
conditional use permit is needed in order for the auto sales
lot to continue.
Jenny and Gordy Hoglund noted that their organization is
willing and able to comply with all of the conditions noted by
the ordinance with or without the need for a conditional use
permit.
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Brad Fyle to grant variances to Section 3-5: 9 (K)
of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance, which requires that all
areas intended to be utilized for parking space and driveway
shall be surfaced with material suitable to control dust, and
grant a variance to Section 3-5: 9 (0), which requires that
all open, off-street parking shall have a perimeter curb
around the entire parking lot. Mction was based on the
finding that the traffic over parking areas associated with
the variance is minimal, and paving and curbing are not
necessary to control dust or drainage; therefore, granting of
the variance does not impair the intent of the ordinance.
Furthermore, granting the variance will not be detrimental to
the adjoining properties. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion was then made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Brad
Fylo to grant a conditional use permit allowing auto sales
activity on the Hoglund property subject to the following
conditions:
Page 3
Council Minutes - 4!8191
1. The enclosed principal use is a minimum of 4,500
square feet, excluding the area used for mechanical
repair and reconditioning.
2. Outside sales and display areas are fenced or
screened from view of neighboring residential uses
or an abutting "R" district in compliance with
Chapter 3, Section 2 [G], of this ordinance (does
not apply because residential use is actually on
the site, not abutting "R" district).
3. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that
the light source shall not be visible from the
public right-of-way or from neighboring residences
and shall be in compliance with Chapter 3,
Section 2 ]H], of this ordinance.
4. The outside sales and display area shall be hard
surfaced.
5. The outside sales and display area does not utilize
parking spaces which are required for conformance
with this ordinance.
b. vehicular access points shall create a minimum of
conflict with through traffic movement; shall
comply with Chapter 3, Section 5, of this ordinance
(parking design requirements); and shall be subject
to the approval of the City Engineer (curbing must
be installed).
7. There is a minimum lot area of twenty-two thousand
five hundred (22,500) square feet and minimum lot
dimensions of one hundred fifty (150) feet by one
hundred thirty (130) feet.
8. A drainage system subject to the approval of the
City Engineer shall be installed.
9. All signing shall be in compliance with Chapter 3,
Section 9, of this ordinance.
10. The provisions of Chaptor 22 of this ordinance are
considerod and satisfactorily met.
11. No more than ton cars may be parked for sale at any
one point in time.
Page 4

Council Minutes - 418191
12. Four trees shall be planted east of the two garages
on the site.
13. The conditional use permit requires common
ownership of the property containing the office
space and the site of the sales lot.
14. A culvert shall be installed under the drive
leading to the Hoglund Transportation office. Said
culvert shall have a minimum diameter of 15 inches.
15. The drive area in front of the bus storage facility
shall be paved per the attached site plan by
October 15, 1992.
Motion was based on .the finding that operation of the auto
sales lot at this location under the conditions specified is
consistent with the character of the area and will not tend to
depreciate adjoining properties. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of authorization to purchase motor vehicle
registrar commuter software packaae.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the original
computer RFP prepared for the City of Monticello, which was
initiated in 1986, included the provision for a deputy
registrar package for motor vehicle and DNR registrations.
The package prepared by the vendor in conjunction with the
1986 computer purchase was woefully inadequate, and the City
elected not to implement this system.
A new computer development plan, which included a proposal to
replace the City's hardware and software, was approved by City
Council on January 22, 1990. The plan included a provision
for deputy registrar software at a cost of up to $800. The
deputy registrar package was not purchased in 1990 due to
several reasons. Upon investigation, there was not a package
that met the City and state's requirements for the amount of
money budgeted. Also, due to time constraints associated with
implementation of finance applications, word processing,
payroll, recycling, and utility billing programs, we were
unable Lo implement additional deputy registrar software. Now
that the major financial systems have boon implemented, staff
has the resources to install the deputy registrar program
which, when completed, will result in a cost savings to the
City duo to increased efficiency and accuracy.

Council Minutes - 4/8/91
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Dan Blonigen to approve the proposal to purchase
Minnesota Motor Vehicle Registrar computer software at a cost
of $3,000. Motion carried unanimously.
8. Consideration of ourchasinq a slide -in qrass riq fire unit --
Monticello Fire Department.
Rick Wolfsteller reported that as an add-on item at the last
Council meeting, Council discussed the fire department's
request to purchase a slide -in tank unit for fighting grass
fires. On a tie vote, authorization was not granted to allow
the purchase, and it was discussed whether the Township would
actually be paying a larger share of this purchase since it
would primarily be used in rural areas.
Wolfsteller went on to note that the entire joint fire
agreement has recently been reviewed and approved for a five-
year period, which includes a formula for establishing each
jurisdiction's share of the operating cost. Presently,
Monticello Township contributes 378 of the total capital
purchasing cost and operating cost annually toward the fire
department budget. While some items are utilized more in the
city and some are utilized more in the township, it may not be
appropriate to single out only one item for special treatment
in regard to the cost sharing formula. Wolfsteller went on to
note that it would be a difficult problem to try and allocate
all items and expenditures based on where the equipment is
utilized. Unless the City Council would like to terminate the
joint agreement and renegotiate the entire formula, the only
decision should be whether this piece of equipment is actually
needed by the fire department.
Ken Maus and Shirley Anderson agreed that the contract is in
place and that we should abide by it. Dan Blonigon stated
that this unit will be used primarily in the township, and the
City should not be paying a major portion of the cost to
purchase it. Clint Herbst noted that this discussion should
plant the seed for changes in the contract, which he felt is
at this time a one-way street.
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Brad Fyle to approve the purchase of a grass fire
rig as proposed in the amount of $2,734.12 with cost
allocation based on the present joint agreement. Motion
carried unanimously.
Pago 6
Council Minutes - 4/8/91
Consideration of adoptinq policy on City Hall van use.
Rick Wolfsteller reviewed the objective of the van use policy,
which is to provide a guideline for use of the City Hall
vehicle, enable the Building Inspector to have available a
vehicle for performing duties of the Building Inspection and
Civil Defense Departments, and also set procedures to allow
the vehicle to be utilized by other staff members whenever
feasible.
Council reviewed the van policy; and after discussion, a
motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Brad Fyle
to adopt the proposed policy with the addition that the
vehicle shall be available for use by City Hall staff and
volunteer fire department officials only. Motion carried
unanimously.
10. Review of Citv vehicle use.
Rick Wolfsteller reported that this item concerns the use of
the City vehicle by the Public Works Director for
transportation between work and home.
He reported that the practice of allowing the Public Works
Director to utilize the City vehicle is to provide him with a
radio, small tools, a fire extinguisher, an 8 -minute self
contained breathing apparatus, traffic cones, and other
necessary equipment for opening manholes and lift stations.
This enables the Public Works Director to respond directly to
emergencies rather than having to obtain a vehicle out of
storage at the public works building, which could first
require the moving of one or two other vehicles. The radio
gives the Public Works Director direct contact with the field
crews, especially in the wintertime. This enables the Public
Works Director to respond to citizens' requests during off
hours even if it was not necessarily an immediate emergency.
Secondly, the use of the pickup is a direct benefit to the
Public Works Director, as he does not have to provide his own
vehicle to and from work; and initially, the $380 benefit did
not need to be reported on his taxes. It was essentially tax
free. initially, emergencies, responses to citizens'
requests, and use of the radio to contact field crews was
approximately two times per month or more.
Wolfstoller went on to say that since the practice of allowing
the Public Works Director to use the City vehicle began, some
changes have taken place. First, the number of emergency
responses by the Public works Director has decroased due to
Pago 7
Council Minutes - 4/8!91
improvements made to our infrastructure system such as the
wastewater treatment plant, lift stations, and water system.
Responses are now less than half of what they were in 1981.
In addition, IRS regulations changed and require the reporting
of personal use of an employer's vehicle to be reported as
income on the employee's W-2 form at the end of the year.
This is proper, as in most instances, private use of the
company-owned vehicle is generally given in lieu of wages.
For the past few years, the City has reported to the IRS
additional income in the amount of $720 per year on the Public
Works Director's W-2 form.
Wolfsteller went on to remind Council that the Public Works
Director was provided use of the City vehicle in lieu of
salary increases in the past. If Council eliminates the
practice of allowing the Public Works Director to take a
vehicle home, then a salary adjustment should be considered.
Brad Fyle noted that the original intent of having the vehicle
available in case of emergencies is not as important since
emergency situations are becoming infrequent. Fyle was not
convinced that a City employee should be taking a City vehicle
home.
Clint Herbst stated that there are cost savings in having a
City employee having immediate access to the vehicle. He
doesn't have to go to the garage to pick it up. The City does
not have to house the vehicle. It doesn't make sense to be
spending this much time on this item.
John Simola reported that nine times during the year he needed
the vehicle for emergency situations. He also noted that he
would have no problems at all if he did not have access to the
vehicle as he now does as long as he is reimbursed for the
loss of the benefit with an increase in salary.
Shirley Anderson noted that the use of the vehicle by the
Public works Director should be part of the job description.
Anderson went on to note that the number of times that the
Public Works Director responds per year is not important. One
big emergency situation where having use of the vehicle makes
a difference justifies the present practice.
Ken Maus noted that the practice of allowing the Public Works
Director to drive the City vehicle to and from work has
probably not cost the City a penny. The City has not had to
house the vehicle, and past salary increases were reduced in
exchange for providing the use of the vehicle.
Page 8
Council Minutes - 4!8191
After discussion, a motion was made by Clint Herbst and
seconded by Shirley Anderson to continue the existing practice
of allowing the Public Works Director use of the vehicle
commuting to and from home and lunch and that the Public Works
Director, when using his own vehicle on City business in the
community, is not reimbursed for this expense. Voting in
favor: Clint Herbst, Shirley Anderson, Dan Bionigen, Ken
Maus. Opposed: Brad Fyle.
11. Consideration of adopting plan for extension of sewer and
water utilities and development of roadways servino school
district property.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill outlined a plan for extending
and financing utilities to the elementary school site.
O'Neill noted that the plan results from discussions between
City staff, the School Superintendent, and the developers of
the property to the south of the school district site.
O'Neill went on to note that the conservative nature of the
plan resulted from the existence of a significant level of
debt associated with previous improvement projects. O'Neill
noted that the plan presented, if approved in concept form,
will become the basis of the feasibility study and development
agreement to be prepared if the school district bond issue is
approved. O'Neill went on to detail the public utilities
plan, which included the following components:
- Sanitary sewer extended along Fallon Avenue from
Dundas at an approximate cost of $26,000 to be
financed by assessments to the Farm Credit and
school district properties.
- School district will pay an area assessment of
$50,000, which is equal to $12,050 per acre based
on a 40 -acre elementary school development area.
- Sewer trunk line installation to occur in the
future with development of the Klein property.
- Water main service will be gained by extending
water main from Dundas to the northern boundary of
the elementary school site at a coat of
approximately $22,000. This cost will be assessed
evenly to the Farm Credit property and to the
school district. The cost to extend the water main
beyond the northwest boundary of the school site
will be paid entirely by the school district with
Page 9
U
Council Minutes - 4!8191
reimbursements made to the school district when
future users obtain access to the water main
originally paid for by the school district.
Roadways will include a 40 -foot wide roadway
constructed with rural design features and
Installed along the southern boundary of the school
district property. The cost of this roadway is
estimated at $224,000, not including grading and
other subgrade preparation. This project will be
conducted as a public improvement with 508 of the
cost assessed to the school and 508 to the Farm
Credit property. This assessment arrangement would
require a major portion of the principal cost to be
paid or guaranteed prior to start of construction,
thereby eliminating risk associated with assessing
roadway expenses against Farm Credit property.
The school district will develop a driveway
extending from Chelsea Road in a southerly
direction to the middle school site. This road
will be installed and financed by the school
district. In the event that this road becomes a
through street and not used primarily for school
related access, the City will accept this road as a
dedicated right-of-way.
The existing zoning designation of the value Plus
Homes site is agricultural and would remain
unchanged until development of existing residential
areas now served with sewer and water or until
significant progress is made toward retirement of
the various residential tax delinquent properties
in the city. Rezoning of the school district
property from agricultural to R-2 must also be
achieved through cooperative planning efforts
between the school district and City.
O'Neill went on to review modifications that could be made to
the plan in the event that Council elects to extend utilities
to potential residential areas to the south of the school
site.
Shelly Johnson noted his support of the plan and that things
have gone well up to this point. He went on to note that by
the middle of September, he would like the rezoning and
conditional use permit issues resolved and be in position to
obtain a building permit.
Page 10
Council Minutes - 4/8/91
Council reviewed the plan in detail. After discussion, a
motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Dan
Blonigen to approve the concept plan for extending utilities
to the school district property with said plan becoming the
basis of future plan work. Motion carried unanimously.
12. Consideration of abatinq special assessment penalties and
interest on 82-2 improvement project --Farm Credit Systems
property.
Rick Wolfsteller requested that Council consider reducing the
special assessment balance against Farm Credit properties in
exchange for immediate cash payment of the remaining
assessment balance. Wolfsteller noted that the only
assessments paid by the original owners, Jim Boyle and Dickman
Knutson, have resulted from homes being built and sold; and as
a result, a large outstanding assessment balance remains for
the entire project in the amount of over $570,000.
Farm Credit Systems, the mortgage holder on Mr. Boyie's
property, recently foreclosed on the property and is now the
owner. Since their foreclosure, Farm Credit has been
attempting to market the property to developers without much
success. Except for the recent sale of approximately 50 acres
to the school district and a small acquisition by the City to
supplement Remmele Engineering property, Farm Credit Systems
has been unable to sell the balance of the property at this
time. According to Farm Credit, it appears that the amount of
outstanding assessments against the Meadow Oak residential
parcels may be excessive relative to the estimated value of
the property.
Farm Credit has indicated that it may have an interest in
paying off the entire assessments, including delinquents and
future balances, if the City would reduce assessments by about
$100,000. wolfstellor noted that the penalties and interest
that have accumulated on the delinquent assessments total
approximately $88,375, which, if eliminated, could be
sufficient to entice Farm Credit to consider paying off the
entire assessment in one lump sum.
Wuifetellar suggested that Council seriously consider reducing
the assessment by $88,378 if Farm Credit would agree to pay
off the assessment balances in full. wolfstoller noted
reasons why the City should consider reduction in the
assessments. He noted that duo to the distribution of the
assessments against various outlets, it is likely that the
City would stand to lose at least $88,000 just trying to
market one of the outlets if we would wait for tax forfeiture
Page 11

Council Minutes - 4/8/91
proceedings. The proposed reduction would allow the average
cost per acre for assessments to be approximately $2,500 per
acre, which would enable Farm Credit to market the property
and still cover their mortgage cost. The City would be able
to reimburse the bond funds that have had to support the debt
payments for the past eight years and would make our balance
sheet look better for bond rating purposes. Finally, under
the proposal the City would receive ownership of Outlot A for
park dedication purposes and would then not have to deal with
each individual developer for park dedication purposes.
Ken Maus noted his support of staff's recommendation and that
as an alternative, the City may offer to take Outlot I and use
revenue from the sale of that parcel to pay the delinquent
assessments. The remaining assessments against the other
outlots would then be paid by Farm Credit.
Shirley Anderson noted that economically this is a better
approach, and she supports the elimination of penalties and
interest if it will result in payment of the balance of the
assessment.
Paul Weingarden noted that reducing the assessment may require
a re -assessment hearing. He cautioned that lowering the
assessment may result in future requests by other land owners.
Brad Fyle noted that he preferred the City avoid acquiring
property and he, therefore, supports the proposal to reduce
the assessment.
After discussion, a motion was made by Brad Fyle and seconded
by Shirley Anderson to authorize City staff to propose a
reduction in special assessments against all land owned by
Farm Credit Systems in the amount of $88,378 contingent upon
Farm Credit paying off all the remaining assessment balances
totaling $483,370 within 30 days, along with the dooding to
the City of Outlot A for park dedication purposes. Motion
carried unanimously.
13. Consideration of chanoe order ii and final payment for
Proloct 88-05, 800,000 gallon water tank.
John Simola reported that there are a few warranty items that
need to be taken care of. Some rust has developed in the
interior portion of the tank. This problem will be taken care
of In May by Caldwell's subcontractor, Newman Painting. In
addition, the drain from the valve pit near the tank has
failed. The City has worked out an agreement with Caldwell
whereby we do this warranty work and are paid by Caldwell.
Page 12
Council Minutes - 4/8191
There are a few Items left for the City to do, most of which
monies were withheld from the contractor for completion. we
have completed a tabulation of costs related to the purchase
of the land and construction of the water tank. It is the
recommendation of the Public Works Director and City Engineer
that the Council authorize final payment to Caldwell Tanks as
outlined under alternative #1.
Council asked if there was any reason why the final payment
should not be made to Caldwell Tanks. John Simola responded
by saying that everything is in order.
Motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Clint
Herbst to approve change order #1 and final payment to
Caldwell Tanks in the amount of a credit of $2,717.47. This
brings the total payment to Caldwell in the amount of
$305,208.53. Motion carried unanimously.
14. Consideration of replacinq chlorine scale in pump house #2.
John Simola reported the chlorine scale, which is located in
pump house #2 near the old fire hall, is 20 years old, and we
refurbished the pump house and pump last year. The scale was
in poor condition with a significant amount of corrosion. In
preparation for its replacement, $1,500 was placed in the 1991
budget.
The City obtained two quotes for the purchase of a new
chlorine scale, one from Feedrite of Minneapolis for $1,268,
the other from Henry & Associates of St. Cloud in the amount
of $965. Henry 6 Associates is a new company, and it appears
that they are selling a scale to the City for near cost to got
some of our business.
Simola recommended that the City Council authorize the
purchase of the chlorine scale from Henry b Associates of
St. Cloud.
After discussion, a motion was made by Brad Fyle and seconded
by Dan Blonigon to purchase a Series 50-345 Wallace 6 Tiernan
chlorine scalp from Henry 6 Associates of St. Cloud,
Minnesota, for $965. Motion carried unanimously.
15. Consideration of modification of sick loavo section of
Personnel policies and procedural manual.
Rick Wolfsteilor requested that the personnel policy be
amended to allow employees to use the weekly disability
Page 13
Council Minutes - 4/8/91
insurance benefits to cover the cost of non -reimbursed medical
expenses resulting from non -job related sickness or injury for
which the disability benefits are claimed.
After discussion, a motion was made by Shirley Anderson and
seconded by Clint Herbst to table this matter for further
discussion. The item was tabled to the first meeting in June.
Motion carried unanimously.
16. Consideration of request for one -day setup/3.2 beer license
for Ducks unlimited Banquet and one -day 3.2 beer license for
July 7 Riverfest Celebration - Lions Club.
Motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Clint
Herbst to approve said license request. Motion carried
unanimously.
17. Consideration of authorizinq City Attorney to take legal
action necessary to enforce the terms of Fair's Garden
Center's conditional use permit.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that Fair's Garden
Center was granted a conditional use permit in 1989 which
allowed expansion of sales and storage areas. The conditional
use permit outlined 14 conditions, one of which was a
requirement that 24 parking stalls be available for employee
and customer use. O'Neill noted that a number of the parking
stalls are consistently being used for storage of landscaping
equipment and inventory for sale.
He went on to review a letter submitted by Kevin Fair to the
City which noted that the use of the parking spaces is
temporary, and they are being used for moving stock and
setting up for spring. The letter went on to note that prior
to the busy season of May 1, the garden center will have 24
spaces available for customers and employees.
Dan Bionigen stated that the parking spaces need to be open
for the public. If they are used for storage of materials,
the customers will be parking in the street and on other
private properties.
Kon Maus noted that the parking problem is difficult to
quantify. He questioned at what point should we stop in.
City Attorney, Paul Weingardon, responded by saying that
conditional use permit requirements such as this one are
difficult to enforce and that the act of compliance ends
enforcement. He wont on to note that in order to bring
Page 14
Council Minutes - 4/8/91
effective enforcement action, City staff needs to further
develop evidence of a violation of the conditional use permit
and develop evidence of parking problems created by the
violation.
Brad Fyle suggested that citizens' complaints and demonstrated
traffic hazards need to be created before further action is
justified.
Paul Weingarden informed Council that the current ordinance
does not contain a provision for withdrawing a conditional use
permit and that only provision for penalties is now provided.
Weingarden noted that the City ordinance should be updated to
include a provision for withdrawing conditional use permits if
continual violations occur that create problems.
Ken Maus suggested that the City compile further documentation
which would include an outline of past violations to the
conditional use permit and include documentation of parking
problems. Maus noted that the City needs to position itself
better if it intends on taking enforcement action.
Dan Blonigon stated that there was not a single day last
season where the garden center was in compliance with the
parking requirement, and he suggested that it is not likely
that Fair's Garden Center will comply with the parking
requirements by May 1.
Staff was directed to continue to monitor the situation
pertaining to Fair's Garden Center's conditional use permit
and to review other existing conditional use permits for
similar violations and prepare a report. Further action
regarding enforcement of the Fair's Garden Center conditional
use permit is to be considered after May 1 if violations
continue after this date.
18. At the close of the meeting, Mayor Maus read a proclamation
proclaiming the week of April 8-12 as Building Safety Week in
Monticello.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

3. Citizens comments/petitions, requests, and complaints. (R.W.)
Attached is a copy of a petition City staff received from
Mr. Joe Robinson, owner of the River Inn, expressing concerns
over the apparent open-door policy that exists at the
Monticello American Legion Club. As you will notice, the
majority of the petition signers are not even Monticello
businesses but primarily consists of establishments located in
Sherburne or other counties.
First of all, veterans organizations are allowed to have a
club license for selling intoxicating liquor at a license fee
established by their membership, which ranges between $500 and
$700 annually. Normal on -sale liquor establishments pay a
license fee of $3,750 annually, and the petitioners feel that
since the Legion Club solicits business from the general
public, they should also be paying the regular license fee.
I believe the River Inn's concern at this time is due to the
fact that the Legion Club has now been advertising and is open
for noon lunches. While this may be competition for some
businesses, only two of the signatures, the Silver Fox Inn and
Joyner Lanes, are Monticello businesses that are open for noon
lunches along with having liquor available. The legitimacy of
the balance of the signatures has to be questioned, and the
petition should probably be submitted to the City of Big Lake
rather than Monticello.
It is true that veterans organizations are suppose to be open
for members only in order to receive a club license, but I
believe it's common knowledge that this is not strictly
enforced, not only in Monticello but statewide. I discussed
the situation with the Legion Club Commander, Wayne Mayor, to
inform him that the petition would be presented at the Council
meeting Monday night. He understands the City's concern and
indicated a willingness to at least not advertise the lunch
business if that is what the Council desired. He also noted
that the only lunch menu they provide is burgers, chili, and
soup, and their attempt was to provide a service for NSP
employees during the outage that is now occurring, and he did
not feel they were encroaching on the normal businesses by
providing this service.
I think we all realize that in order for the Legion and/or VFW
clubs to survive, they normally have to seek patrons other
than club members. Although they are charged a lower license
fee than other license holders, these organizations also
contribute funds back to the community through contributions
and community services. The City would certainly have the
right to require that those organizations not solicit general
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
patronage and/or require them to pay the normal on -sale liquor
license fee; but in the long run, this could be detrimental to
the community as a whole through a decrease in charitable
contributions locally.
April 12, 1991
Council Members;
You must realize that the non-profit Veteran's Organizations
are putting a burden on the restaurants and liquor establishments in
the area.
A few years back, when the Veteran's Clubs were struggling to
stay in business, the food and liquor establishments could look the otnui
way if they abused their non-profit license. But now they are, by far,
the wealthiest businesses in the area, with their non-profit status and
their charitable gambling.
It is time for them to pay for a regular "on -sale license", or to
limit their clientele to their members only.
Anyone who reads the papers knows of their wealth.
Apple pie, motherood and American veterans are great, but this
issue doesn't have'anything to do with any of them.
Now, as an example, it is said that the Monticello American Legiun
Club has leased their kitchen to a private operator for zero rent to .,:,v,
meals to the public, but the.Leglon Club gets more customers in to buy
liquor on their non-profit license and to engage in playing pull -tabs
and other charitable qambling games. If anyone thinks that these non-
profit organizations ion't get into the proceeds of charitable gambli„y,
they are very naive.
Our area is a growing one, but give the legitimate, private
businesses an even break. that is all we ask.

Council Agenda - 4/22/91
4. Consideration of a request for abatement of delinquent special
assessments --Out lot A of Country Club Manor. (R.W.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
When the Country Club Manor residential plat was approved in
1978, an outlet fronting along I-94 was created, and the City
of Monticello constructed a future collector road segment and
installed utilities to service this outlet. Our original
comprehensive plan indicated this outlet would be developed in
a commercial fashion and that the collector road would
eventually connect West County Road 39 with 7th Street near
the present Kmart.
The original assessments against Out:ot A for the street and
utility improvements total $231,402.32. To date, nothing has
been paid on these assessments; and with penalties and
interest that have accumulated since 1979, the outstanding
delinquents are now over $550,000.
For the last 13 years, Marvin George, the developer of the
Country Club plat, was the owner of the property; but recently
West Prairie Partners acquired an interest in the property
from Mr. George. Mr. Jim Metcalf, Brad Larson, and John
Sandberg are the partners who have indicated they now own the
property and are interested in developing the parcel for
single family residential housing. The developers presented
a concept sketch plan consisting of a 26 -lot development
fronting along the collector road that would also create
outlets adjacent to the freeway. The City staff believes the
intention of creating the outlets near the freeway is to allow
for the present three billboards to remain on this property
and allow the developers to generate income for years to come.
In reviewing the sketch plan, the City staff had a number of
concerno, Including allowing 26 driveways to exist along the
collector road which could cause future traffic problems. In
addition, the staff questions the necessity for having outlots
near the freeway, as they will probably become a maintenance
problem, and some have no access to street frontage. It
appears obvious the intention would be to allow the signs to
remain, as the billboards generate $7,000 to $8,000 revenue
annually, and our current City ordinances require billboards
to be removed prior to developing property.
A number of years ago, the property was rezoned from
commercial to R-3, multiple family, and a proposal was
presented by Marvin George to create a number of cul-de-sac
arrangements on the property for a quad -unit housing
development. This never materialized, but City staff fools
the property could be utilized in a similar fashion for
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
single family housing with the creation of three or four cul-
de-sacs to lessen the direct access to this collector street.
The developers feel the additional cost of cul-de-sac street
construction and sewer and water extensions would make the
project unfeasible and would rather develop the property
according to their sketch proposal.
Since it appeared the developers were unwilling to propose an
alternate design for the property, the Public Works staff has
been working on a preliminary design that would utilize the
cul-de-sac arrangement and has come up with a plan that
appears to create 25 lots on four cul-de-sacs and provides for
a portion of the property to be utilized for storm water
pending area that would not only benefit this development but
could allow for future storm water needs of adjacent areas.
It has been estimated that an additional $150,000 in
improvement cost would be needed to develop this property.
Under the City staff's proposal, if the 25 lots were created
and each lot was worth $15,000, it appears that the delinquent
special assessments would have to be reduced substantially to
approximately $200,000 to $225,000 in order to make this
project feasible for development. While the cul-de-sac design
proposal utilizes all of the property up to the freeway, it is
assumed that the billboards would have to be removed, which
I'm sure the developers are not in favor of because of the
lost revenue.
Since the assessments have not been paid on this property, it
Is assumed that if the City does not negotiate a special
assessment reduction on this property in the near future, the
property will probably go through the tax forfeiture
procedures. It appears that to develop this property in a
residential fashion, the City will be faced with reducing the
assessments, as the property is not worth the $550,000
currently owed against it. The question becomes how much of
the original assessment can the property sustain; and without
knowing how it would be developed, the staff is not able to
provide the Council with a recommendation. it appears that to
develop the property as single family residential, somewhere
between 20 and 25 lots can be created. With the final market
value of each lot being estimated at $15,000 to $17,000, you
can see that a substantial assessment reduction will have to
be made to make any project economically feasible. If the
City is going to reduce the assessments outstanding, the staff
believes the Council should have some control over the design
of the property. The developers prefer the simple method of
creating individual lots with direct access to the street for
the simple reason that they hope to have the Council reduce
the assessments to a level that will still allow them to
generate a profit on the sale and also allow the billboards to
remain for additional revenue in the future. To allow this
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
concept will set a precedent for the City in that we have
required other parcels with billboards to remove the signs
before allowing construction of buildings. In addition, there
are not enough individual sewer and water services for the
lots proposed, and it is assumed the developers will also
request permission to have more than one home connected to a
service connection.
It is assumed that any residential development in this
location may need Farmers Home or FHA subdivision approval
because of its location near the freeway. The City staff will
be discussing our concept plan with Farmers Home personnel to
see if our design would be acceptable, as a noise barrier or
berm may be required. The request by the developers for a
reduced assessment may be premature without knowing exactly
what can be developed on this parcel. The developers have
requested that the Council consider an offer of $200,000 cash
as payment for all special assessments against this parcel.
While it may turn out that this is a fair and reasonable
settlement, the staff believes any reduction in the assessment
should be linked to a subdivision approval.
The developers have also indicated that if the Council was not
agreeable to their $200,000 offer, they would deed the
property to the City and let the City deve:op it in any manner
it chooses provided they were allowed to keep the signs for
the next 27 years. The staff feels this is an unreasonable
offer in that in another year or two the City will probably
own the property through tax forfeiture and could have the
billboards removed. If the Council is receptive to the cash
offer, the staff assumes that the developers will proceed with
a request for the 26 -lot subdivision and still request that
the billboards be allowed to remain, that outlots are created
adjacent to the freeway, and that they be allowed to utilize
the present services for multiple connections to each service.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Accept a cash settlement of $200,000 as full payment for
all special assessments against Outlet A.
The Council should determine that the original
assessments were excessive and that the increased value
to the property is only $200,000. It is assumed that by
accepting this amount, the Council would be agreeable to
the property developing in a single family residential
fashion under the concept plan proposed by the
developers. While they have indicated there are no
strings attached to this offer, you can assume that they
will be asking for subdivision approval that will create
20 to 26 lots fronting along the collector street, the
Council Agenda - 4122141
creation of outlots adjacent to the freeway to enable the
billboards to remain, and possibly a request for allowing
more than one lot to utilize a sewer and water
connection.
2. Accept their offer of deeding the property to the City of
Monticello in exchange for the right to maintain the
billboards for the next 27 years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Last fall, the City had attempted to negotiate a transfer of
the property to the City from Marvin George, the original
owner, in lieu of the delinquent assessments. This was an
attempt to expedite the eventual tax forfeiture proceedings
that were inevitable in that Mr. George indicated he did not
plan on paying the assessments. The negotiations fell
through, and it was decided to wait for tax forfeiture
proceedings by the county to commence.
At this point, City staff is not comfortable with the sketch
plan proposed by West Prairie Partners; and until it is
determined that there are no other feasible means of
developing the property, the staff does not have a firm
recommendation on the amount of assessments that should be
abated. While the offer of $200,000 is tempting, we believe
the City should obtain the necessary ponding area within this
outlet in conjunction with a reduction in the assessments, and
also the Council will have to decide whether we are willing to
grant a variance from our ordinances and allow the billboards
to remain in this situation.
While the staff feels the cul-de-sac design prepared by the
City staff could be a better development, we are aware that
the assessments would probably have to be reduced to an amount
near the offer proposed to accomplish this plat. The benefits
of the cul-de-sac design would be to limit direct access to
the future collector road and also provide the City with a
ponding area that could possibly be beneficial to other
properties and allow us to recapture additional funds in the
futuro through a storm sewer assessment.
If the Council is comfortable with the developer's sketch plan
and will allow the billboards to remain and possibly allow the
developers to connect more than one home to a service, then
the $200,000 offer may be Inadequate and should probably be in
the $250,000 category. The justification for the higher
assessment amount is based on the fact that there will be
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
little additional cost involved in developing the property
under their proposal; and if they created 20+ lots at $15,000
each, there is not a need to reduce the assessments to the
$200,000 level. Until we know how the property will be
platted, the staff does not have a recommendation on an
acceptable assessment reduction.

lReview orOullot A of Country Club Manor Page 2
Placing single-family homes along the interstate is not good development practice.
Traffic noise and the general lack of buffering in this area would only promote a
single-family housing pattern that would initially be of a lower value than others in the
neighborhood and would possibly depreciate in value more quickly. Usually it is not
wise to plan for a diminishing tax base by placing certain land uses in jeopardy of the
significant impacts of the adjacent use.
Since the single-family proposal is inefficient land use and does not support the
assessments for the street and utility improvements. Apartments and townhouses are
better suited in this arca where the typical users remain indoors and structures are
designed to minimize the effect of interstate noise. Also, the multiple -family solution
will provide the necessary development w pay the assessments and generate a higher tax
base. An alternative is available as a combination of the two using small lot detached
townhouse in clusters of approximately 300 feet deep. This type of development has
been successfully built in many other communities in the metropolitan area and could
have some potential in Monticello. Once again, an edge of buffering needs to be
included in such development and homes built to FAA standards addressing noise
concerns.
The southernmost portion of Outlot A should actually he combined with the property to
the south along Glm Sueet. 'Phc irregularly platted lots would combine to make a
larger assemblage of property with much more development flexibility. In summary, the
single-lamily development on Outlot A is inefficient and underutilizes the property. 'Ihc
City should nut have to subsidized the land owner in this fashion by forgiving
assessments toward a single-family development.

Council Agenda - 4/22/91
5. Consideration of adoptinq resolution designating minimum
restricted fund balances --general fund. (R.W.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Gruys Johnson & Associates, the City's auditing firm, is
currently in the process of auditing our 1990 city financial
records. Prior to the audit being completed, I am requesting
that the City Council consider designating a certain portion
of our general fund fund balance into additional categories
labeled "working capital" and "contingency."
A fund balance is the cumulative result of all revenues
received and expenditures made by the City, and it is also
referred to as "fund equity" or the "surplus assets" that have
accumulated over a period of time. The general fund, being
the main operating fund of the City, has the largest
accumulation of fund balance estimated at approximately
$1,250,000 at the end of 1990. For accounting purposes, the
fund balance is categorized in our audit report as either
reserved or unreserved fund balances. Reserved fund balances
are portions of our equity that are legally restricted to a
specific ftitu re use and are not available for appropriation or
expenditures. These reserved funds are held for the payment
of obligations which are anticipated or will occur in
succeeding fiscal years.
Unreserved funds are amounts which are not being held for a
specific program and for which no formal, separate fund amount
has been established. At the end of a given year, these funds
are either appropriated in the budget of the following year as
revenue items or are treated as funds available for the City
to use. In the past, the entire general fund fund balance has
been designated as unreserved and is technically available for
expenditures if so desired.
With the recent publicity by the state on anticipated budget
shortfalls, state legislators are continually looking for now
sources of revenue to tap. One area that has boon brought up
in the past by state legislators concerns the amount of
unreserved fund balances cities have accumulated. Some
individuals may Boo largo fund balances and assume that a city
government does not need any state assistance because we have
unspent funds available. Thorn has even boon discussion
recently that cities with large fund balances should maybe
give some of its tax revenue to the state to help correct
Lhoir budget probloms; and as a result, it is suggested that
a city establish in its audit report that certain funds are
designated for certain purposes.
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
Although it may seem like a million dollars is a large
surplus, one fact that is forgotten is that the City needs a
substantial amount of money to operate for the first six
months of each year before any revenue is received. Enclosed
with the agenda is a cash flow statement I prepared for our
general fund showing the monthly revenue and the monthly
expenditures throughout the year. As you will note, the City
accumulates a negative cash flow totaling approximately
$750,000 before our first large revenue is received in the
early part of July. In other words, if we did not have a
surplus fund balance at the end of a year, we would have to
borrow money to operate until July of each year. while this
should be common knowledge to anyone familiar with government
financial statements, it is wise to note this information on
our balance sheet and as such designate a specific amount of
our unreserved fund balance as designated working capital. In
any given year, the working capital should be approximately
50% of our ensuing year's general fund budget, which for 1991
equals $1,801,000. As a result, I recommend establishing a
resolution designating 50% of our next year's budget be set
aside as a designated working capital fund balance, which
would equal $900,500.
Because of the unstable climate we are in regarding revenue
sources, I would also request that a contingency fund be
established in an amount equal to 108 of next year's budget,
or $180,100. This designation would provide for any shortfall
in anticipated revenues which occur because of tax delinquents
or state aid cuts or a miscalculation in projected other
revenues. For example, in 1991 the City was to receive
approximately $250,000 in homestead credit aid from the state,
but we have already boon informed that we will not receive
$60,000 of this amount, and It is projected that we may lose
another $60,000 at the end of the your. These revenue
shortfalls were not anticipated but can occur from year to
year. In addition, designating a contingency amount would
also resorve some of our surplus funds for unexpected
expenditures that Como up during a year.
By adopting the resolution designating portions of our
unreserved fund balance for workinq capital and contingency
purposes, I believe it will give a truer picture of our fund
balance amounts and show that there is a reason for
accumulating nurplus funds to meet general operating needs.
These designations do not change the financial picture for the
city other than providing for a better explanation of our
reserve funds and their intended use. In the future, it may
be wise to analyze other fund balances and designate their
future use for specific projects or improvements that we may
be anticipating.
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. Adopt the resolution designating a portion of our
unreserved general fund balance for working capital
Spurposes and an additional contingency category.
If adopted, these funds would automatically be adjusted
annually to correspond with our next year's budget to
accurately reflect the funds needed to operate.
2. Do not adopt the resolution.
If a working capital account and a contingency account
are not set up, it does not change materially our
financial statement but may leave the impression that the
City has huge amounts of unspent funds and should be able
to lower taxes by utilizing this money. While the
majority of this money is needed just to operate, I do
believe it would be beneficial to so designate these
amounts within our audit report, as it would more
accurately reflect why we have surplus funds in the first
place. It has become more common amongst cities to
designate a specific use of all fund balances, and I
believe this would be a good starting point for
Monticello.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
As noted above, I recommend that $1,080,600 of our general
fund fund balance be designated and so noted on our 1990 audit
report. I realize that fund balances and the terminology
"reserved" versus "unreserved" versus "designated" can be
confusing, and hopefully I will be able to answer any
questions you may have at the Council meeting if you are still
confused. with the audit report nearing completion, I would
like to see the designations made prior to the audit being
printed.

RESOLUTION DESIGNATING MINIMUM RESTRICTED
GENERAL FUND BALANCES
WHEREAS, only limited revenues are received during the first six
months of each budget year and as much as 508 of the expenses occur
during that period of time, and
WHEREAS, a minimum level of cash is necessary to pay expenses
during that first six months of each year, and
WHEREAS, a minimum general fund balance is necessary to begin each
budget year for the purposes of covering the anticipated operating
expenditures that will occur within the first six months without
having to resort to temporary borrowing between receipt of major
revenues, and
WHEREAS, it is financially prudent to provide funds for unforeseen
expenditures or anticipated expenditures of an uncertain amount or
unforeseen shortfalls of anticipated revenues,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF MONTICELLO,
MINNESOTA, that a general fund working capital reserve balance
equal to 50% of the following year's general fund budgeted
expenditures be designated for cash flow purposes and shall be
adjusted annually so that it equals one-half of the sum of the
ensuing year's budget expenditures.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that an additional contingency reserve
balance be established equal to 10% of the ensuing year's budgeted
general fund expenditures, and this designation shall be adjusted
annually so that it equals 108 of the ensuing year's general fund
expenditures to provide for unforeseen expenditures or unforeseen
revenue shortfalls.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these minimum unreserved designated
fund balances may be changed by the Council upon a simple motion
recognizing the need to do so.
Adopted this 22nd day of April, 1991.

Council Agenda - 4/22/91
6. Consideration of extending probationary period/residencir
requirement --Rich Cline. (J.S.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
Rich Cline was transferred from the street department to the
water/wastewater collection system department effective
April 23, 1990. Due to the nature of the position, it is
important that employees in the water and wastewater
collection system be able to respond quickly to an emergency.
In the wastewater department, sewer water can back up quickly
into basements. In the water department, emergencies can
range from an inconvenience of one homeowner to contamination
or loss of water supply for the whole community.
Since the water/wastewater collection operator is considered
to be the first responder, it is a requirement of his position
that he or she will reside within a 10 -minute response time to
city emergencies. Consequently, it is part of the job
description, and both Rich Cline and the previous employee,
Tony Strands, have signed employee agreements which require
residency within a 10 -minute response time. Rich Cline
currently lives about 8-1/2 miles west of tho city of
Monticello and a little over 11 miles from the public works
building. Matt Theisen lives less than 2 miles from the
public works building, and he indicates his average response
time would be approximately 6 minutes. Being 6.9 miles from
the public works building, my response time to the building is
approximately 15 minutes. Rich's current response time is
probably near 20 minutes. Since most of our major water and
sewer facilities are east of the public works building, site
responses could take slightly longer.
When Tony Strando was hired for the position, he was given a
6 -month period of time to relocate, as he lived in Palmer,
Minnesota, and was generally mora than 30 minutes away. Tony
did not actively try to market his house but was given two
additional 6 -month oxtonsionR and finally a 3 -month extension
of the employment agreement for a total of 21 months. Tony
finally changed employers on his own so he could be closer to
home rather than relocate to the Monticello area.
When Rich Cline was hired, he asked for an extension from the
Initial 6 -month period to a l-yoar period. He indicated that
he would relocate within a 1-yoar period of time. Initially,
as I understand it, Rich did attempt to market his home, which
he had just purchased a few months before accepting the
position with the City. Rich then decided to take his home
off the market until he could make some improvements to the
Council Agenda - 4/22/91
home and property to make it more saleable. I do not believe
at this time that he has his home listed and is still making
improvements to make it more saleable.
Rich has asked for an additional extension of time in which to
sell his home. He would like to have the rest of the summer,
possibly three to six months.
Rich Cline has been a good employee and is continuing to learn
the workings of the water and wastewater collection system.
He has not reported any problems with his serious back problem
while working in the water/wastewater department. Matt
Theisen, the Water Superintendent, who is a long time close
friend of Rich Cline's, has continued to be the first
responder for emergencies rather than call Rich in.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative would be to grant an extension of
three months to the residency requirement for Rich Cline
provided he actively attempts to market and sell his
home.
r.•
2. The second alternative would be to grant a six-month
extension of the residency requirement to Rich Cline
C1' provided he actively markets and attempts to sell his
home.
3. The third alternative would be to grant a 1 -year
extension of time to the residency requirement.
4. The fourth alternative would be to rescind the
requirement of the position to reside within a 10 -minute
response time so that employees in this position can live
anywhere or to modify the response time to 20 minutes,
which would go as far west as Clearwater and as far cast
as Elk River. This would require a modification of the
job description and would not be in the best interest of
the City.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is the opinion of the City Administrator and Public Works
Director that the City Council look at granting an extension
of throo to six months as per alternatives 01 or Y2. It is
not in the best interest of the City of Monticello to modify
its response time requirement for this position. This
condition must remain with the iob description, not just the
individual.

Council Agenda - 2/26/90
Consideration of an additional extension to probationary
period/residencv requirement --Tony Strande. (R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
On June 10, 1988, the City hired Tony Strande to work in the
water department to fill the vacancy that was created by Walt
Mack's retirement. Matt Theisen was offered the supervisor's
position, and Tony then filled Matt's former job
classification. The union contract requires a six-month
probationary period at 808 of the prevailing wage for the
first six months, then 90% of the prevailing wage for the next
year. But because Tony had been a past City employee, we
started him at 908 of union scale and made a separate
agreement with him that he signed that would increase his wage
to 1008 of union scale upon completion of the probationary
period. In addition, because of the time factor on answering
emergency calls in the water and sewer collection system, we
also included in the agreement that Tony would be required to
move from Palmer, Minnesota, into the Monticello area within
six months so that he could answer an emergency call within a
10 -minute time period. Currently, it takes Tony at least
20-25 minutes to reach the city after being notified of an
emergency.
The original six-month probationary period expired on
December 10, 1988, and the City Council on December 12, 1988,
agreed to extend Tony's probationary period for an additional
eight months or until he had relocated. I believe the reason
for the eight-month extension was to allow Tony sufficient
time through the summer of 1989 to sell his house and relocate
to within that 10-minuto response time area.
On August 14, 1989, the City Council again agreed to extend
Tony's probationary period for another six months or until he
relocated. As of today, Tony has not yet sold his home and
relocated. The question now being asked of the City Council
is whether additional extensions should be granted or whether
the terms of the employment agreement should be initiated
which would result in a termination notice being given to
Tony.
Although there has not been a life or death emergency call
situation relating to his ability to respond, there have boon
numerous occasions where he has been difficult to got ahold of
or Matt Theisen, the Water Superintendent, has boon required
to respond to the emergency calls. To give you an idea, Matt
has had to respond to at least 26 call-backs or emergency
situations after hours or on weekends; whereas Tony has only
responded to 6 in the last 1-1/2 years. Since it is to be the
responsibility of Tony to respond to these emergency calls or
call-backs and not the Superintondent's normal responsibility,
10 0
Council Agenda - 2/26/90
you can see that a disapportioned amount of calls are being
taken by the supervisor due to his residency in Monticello
versus Tony who is up to one-half hour away. This current
situation is putting our supervisor in an uncomfortable
position in knowing that if he waits to rely on Tony to
respond to any call, the situation could become an emergency
or result in further problems or damage by waiting for Tony to
respond. When Walt Mack was the Water Superintendent, it was
Matt's responsibility to answer the emergency calls. Now that
Matt is the supervisor, it should be Tony's responsibility to
be the first one to respond to the calls; but as you can see
by the number taken by Matt, this is not being done. I
believe the requirement of the job position, having the
employee within a 10 -minute response time, is a valid concern
and a reasonable condition of employment in this position.
While it was initially felt that there was enough incentive to
anticipate Tony moving closer to Monticello because of the 90%
pay scale, over 18 months have passed since his employment;
and it does not appear that at this point Tony is any closer
to moving than he was the day he started. I have discussed
this situation with our labor attorney, Mr. Mike O'Connor, who
has indicated that our employment agreement requiring Tony to
move was a valid condition of employment: but he did caution
that continued extensions of the probationary period may not
be appropriate forever. He cautioned that if any additional
extensions are granted, the next one should be the last one
with a specific date being established and termination
proceedings being initiated if this date is not met.
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
1. The first alternative could be to extend Tony Strands's
probationary period again for a reasonable time period
with a specific ending date, at which time his employment
would be terminated if he did not meet the conditions
agreed to.
Under this alternative, the Council would be reaffirming
that the 10 -minute response time is a valid concern of
the City, and the Council would indicate that this
condition must be met to retain employment. Also, it is
r recommended that Tony again acknowledge this
r4/ -4(----Understanding b., cosigning the original employment
agreement with these terms and conditions spelled out.
2. The second altornativo would be to and Tony Strande's
probationary period and increase his wages to 1008 of
union scale.
Under this alternative, the Council would be agreeing to
eliminate the 10 -minute response time as a condition of
11 0
Council Agenda - 2/26/90
employment and as a result would be resigning itself to
requiring the supervisor to respond to emergency calls
rather than the operator. Although the City's policy
could be to have Tony still respond to all emergency
calls instead of Matt, we would in effect be accepting
the fact that emergency calls would be handled probably
30 minutes after we were notified and would be taking a
chance that no serious problem would occur during that
time period. As I indicated before, Matt, being a
conscientious employee, is responding first because he
knows that Tony would not be able to get here before a
half hour has passed. I think this puts Matt in an
uncomfortable position if he chose not to respond; and if
we waive the condition of employment now for Tony, we are
in effect condoning this in the future.
The third alternative would be to not grant any
additional extensions and initiate termination
proceedings at this time for not meeting the conditions
of his original employment agreement.
While I feel it's not in the best interest to continue to
grant extensions on the employment agreement forever, it
may be appropriate to allow some additional time for Tony
to meet his residency requirement but with the knowledge
that this would be the last time it would be extended.
The fourth alternative could be to transfer Tony to
another department within the public works and reassign
a current employee to the water system operator position.
Public Works Director, John Simola, and myself discussed
this briefly; and while there is one employee who had
previously expressed an interest in working within the
water/collection system, this employee also is not a
current resident of the city but does live closer. while
I do not know if this option is feasible, John may have
more comments at the Council meeting on this option.
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff's position has not changed in our opinion that a
10 -minute response time is necessary for this position. In
light of the recommendations made by our labor attorney, Mike
O'Connor, continued extensions of the probationary period
should not be granted forever. Because the City has
previously granted extensions, it is recommended that any
termination proceedings against Tony provide for a reasonable
advance notice that the City intends to terminate his position
under the terms of the agreement. As a result, it is the
staff's recommendation that alternate YI be adopted informing
Tony that the probationary period would be extended one more
12 9
Council Agenda - 2/26/90
time only until April 1 and that the notification should be
given to Tony that the position will be terminated on that
date if he has not completed his move to within a 10 -minute
response time. By April 1, Tony would have been given almost
two years to make the move, which certainly has been a
reasonable amount of time to accomplish this. Two weeks prior
to this date, I would also send a second notice to provide
ample warning that the position would terminate April 1. This
recommendation is based upon the assumption that the City
Council does not wish to change the job description to require
the supervisor to be responsible for all emergency calls.
Although I'm sure the Council does not wish to cause any
hardship to any employee, I do want to again point out that
Tony accepted the job with the full understanding that a
relocation would be required, and he did sign the agreement
indicating he would do this within a reasonable amount of
time. In addition, I would recommend that the City, if
adopting this motion, also require Tony to sign an additional
acknowledgement of the employment agreement and the conditions
being imposed for the April 1 deadline.

Special Council Agenda - 4/22/91
2. Consideration of selectinq planner to assist with development
of industria.. park/school district development plan. (J.O.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
At the February 25, 1991, meeting of the City Council, staff
requested that Council authorize staff to work with the City
Planner toward development of an industrial park master plan.
The issues to be addressed by the master plan were outlined at
that meeting and are attached again as supporting
documentation.
As a result of Council discussion at the 2/25 meeting, it was
the consensus of Council to table authorization to conduct the
planning study pending additional Input from the City Planner.
Council was concerned that the cost of the study was somewhat
excessive at $19,000, and it was suggested that the scope of
the study could possibly be reduced in an effort to reduce the
cost as well. Council also suggested that the City work •with
Farm Credit to get their cooperation on the project. Finally,
Council was very concerned about the storm drainage issues
relating to that area and authorized an expenditure of $5,000
toward payment of costs associated with development of a storm
water management plan for the school district and industrial
land areas.
Subsequent to Council action on this matter, staff has
collected additional information and requests again that
Council consider this matter. John Uban of Dahlgren, Shardlow
b Uban reviewed the original proposal as requested and
submitted a scaled-down version of the original study. The
now proposal drops the cost from $19,000 to about $8,500;
however, with the reduction in cost is a reduction in the
scope of services. Please review both proposals submitted by
John Uban for more detail. They are attached.
In summary, under the now proposal, the costs are reduced by
approximately $10,000; however, additional staff time would be
required to complete the project under the now alternative,
which carries with it addiLlunal OLaff COOLS. In addition,
the now proposal submitted by Uban creates generalized land
use plan alternatives for the Planning Commission and City to
consider and will not include a comploto comprehensive mastor
plan with detailed illustrative examples as first
contemplated. Also, proparation of ordinance amendments would
not be included in the now proposal.
Staff also contacted Farm Credit to determine to what extent
Farm Credit would be willing to participate financially in tho
development of tho plan for the commercial areae adjoining tho
school district property. Representatives from Farm Credit
indicated general support for preparing storm drainage and
land use plans for the area; howover, they were noncommittal
regarding funding any of those activities.
14
Special Council Agenda - 4/22/91
City staff took the liberty of also contacting two other
planners regarding this project. As of Thursday, the City has
received a response from David Licht of Northwest Associated
Consultants. In my conversations with David Licht, I provided
him with complete information regarding the various issues
associated with industrial development in the community and
also provided him a copy of John Uban's proposal. In
response, Mr. Licht provided a proposal which, in summary,
includes all of the work originally contemplated by Uban;
however, Licht's proposal would cost the City an amount equal
to Uban's scaled-back proposal. Please review Licht's
proposal for more detail. The total cost of the proposal
submitted by David Licht from Northwest Associated Consultants
amounts to $8,450.
Another planner by the name of Kermit Krouch was recommended
to me by the City Administrator of the City of Mahtomedi. I
expect that Mr. Krouch will be providing the City with a
proposal sometime on Friday or Monday. This information will
be available at the meeting on Monday.
Both planners will be available for an intarview at a special
meeting scheduled to occur after the regular meeting.
As you recall, at the previous meeting of the CiLy Cuuncil
there was a strong indication from the school district that
the school district would be willing to pay a portion of the
cost to complete this study. It would appear reasonable to
request that the school district pay a portion of this study
because placing the school district uses on the fringe of the
industrial areas is the action that has precipitated the need
for the study. Unfortunately, at this time I do not have a
specific amount that the school will pay toward completion of
this study. This commitment will likely be forthcoming once
the scope of the study is clearly defined and the benefits to
the school district are better understood.
There appears to be an opportunity at this time to coordinate
long-term city planning with short-term facilities planning
completed by the school district. According to both John Uban
and David Licht, it Is important to successfully integrate the
plans prepared by the school with the ultimate development
pattern oxpocted in the area. It appears prudent to begin our
planning soon, which will enable us to provide information and
any nocossary guidance on a timely basis to tho school
district regarding school site pian development. Time is of
the essonco. In order for the City to be able to provide
recommendations to the school district, wo nood to select a
planner and begin the planning process as soon as possible.
Special Council Agenda - 4/22/91
B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion to authorize City staff to work' with Northwest
Associated Consultants toward development of an
industrial park master plan per the proposal submitted to
the City by Northwest Associated Consultants on April 11,
1991, total cost not to exceed $8,450.
Under this alternative, City Council finds that the land
use issues defined in the memo of 2/25/91 merit further
study and Northwest Associated Consultants should be
selected to complete the comprehensive planning study.
The work program detailed by Northwest Associated
Consultants is comprehensive and about equal to the
original work program submitted to the City by John Uban;
however, the Northwest Associated Consultants' fee is
less than one-half that which was proposed by John Uban.
Northwest Associated Consultants does have an established
track record in this area with the cities of Albertville,
Buffalo, Crystal, New Hope, and others among their client
list. Between now and Monday, I will be checking a few
references. I expect that references will be excellent
because in most of these communities, Northwest
Associated Consultants has been the planner for a number
of years. 1 was informed by Paul Waingarden that he has
worked closely with NAC on various issues, and he has
found the NAC staff to be very capable.
Commissioning Northwest Consultants to complete this
planning study would provide the City an opportunity to
see another planner at work, which would assist Council
In determining if the City could save costs and maintain
an adequate level of planning support with a different
planner. At the end of the planning project, the City
could evaluate the performance of Northwest Consultants
and determine if the service level provided merits
establishment of a continued relationship, or possibly
the City could request proposals from other planners.
Another alternative will be available if Kermit Krouch
submits a proposal.
Motion authorizing City staff to work with Dahlgren,
Shardlow 6 Uban toward development of an industrial park
master plan at an estimated cost of $8,000 to $9,000.
Under this alternative, City Council would be selecting
the scalod-beck version of the plan originally submitted
to the City by Dahlgren, Shardlow 6 Uban. DSU would
focus on the school property and adjacent areas and
create a generalized land use plan for Planning
Commission and Council to consider. DSU would develop an
outline of now standards that would be written into new
ordinances but would not include a complete comprehensive
master plan with detailed examples as first contemplated.
16
Special Council Agenda - 4/22/91
Also, the plan would not anticipate preparation of
ordinance amendments for the City to consider. The
proposal submitted by DSU does not provide the same level
of services as outlined by Northwest Associated
Consultants, and the cost to complete the DSU study is
about the same.
Council may be reluctant to change planners because John
Uban is very familiar with the city, which may give him
a slight advantage in terms of the ability to
successfully complete the planning project. In addition,
the selection process, though providing Uban with two
opportunities to quote a price, was not conducted under
fair, competitive conditions. NAC had the luxury of
access to Uban's proposal, which provided NAC with the
opportunity to undercut the price to get the business.
The process used raises ethical issues but does not raise
any legal issues, as no formal bidding process was
violated.
Motion denying authorization to work with any planner to
complete the planning study.
Under this proposal, Council would find that the planning
study is noL necessary or too expensive, or perhaps
Council could direct City staff to complete ordinance
amendments that might pertain directly to industrial
property directly north of the school district. Under
this alternative, Council would determine that the
existing land use controls are sufficient.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Unless Kermit Krouch presents a superior proposal, staff
recommends that the City move forward and authorize Northwest
Associated Consultants to complete the study as proposed in
NAC's letter to the City dated April 11, 1991. Staff
recommendation is based on the following conclusions:
It is our view that the land use study done in concert
with the storm drainage study already eommissionPd la
necessary. Professional planning assistance will help
the City create an environment where both industrial land
uses and school land uses can prosper side by side. A
proper development pattern in tho area will not just
happen, and we fool that we need to take a pro-activo
approach and set a framework for future development that
will be in the long-term beat interest of the community.
We do not believe that the City staff has the expertise
to complete the typo of planning work that is necessary
at this critical juncture in the development of the city.
17
Special Council Agenda - 4/22/91
It is our view that Northwest Associated Consultants has
the expertise and the track record that will allow them,
along with the City, to successfully complete the
planning process at a reasonable cost. Dahlgren,
Shardlow, b Uban has provided good service to the City
throughout the years; however, the pricing structure
appears to be high relative to other planners. For
instance, I requested that DSU provide us a cost estimate
to complete the adult land use study. It was estimated
that this study would cost at least $4,000. As a result
of obtaining the relatively high estimate, City staff
elected to do the work internally. It is my
understanding that Northwest Associated Consultants
completed a very comprehensive adult land use study for
the City of Buffalo that cost about $2,500. You can see
that there is evidence that the City could be obtaining
planning services at a more reasonable rate; therefore,
working with Northwest Associated Consultants merits
strong consideration.
As noted earlier, selection of Northwest Associated
Consultants for this particular project does not necessarily
mean that they will become the City Planner. The City can use
this opportunity to evaluate the performance of NAC_ and use
the evaluation for future reference. Perhaps at the end of
the study it will be determined that NAC did a great job and
we will want to continue with them full time. On the other
hand, we may determine that they did a good job, but we need
to continue to test the waters for other planners; and if
that's the conclusion, we can simply request proposals from
others as well, including a proposal from DSU.
Finally, time is of the essence. It is important to begin the
planning process in earnest if the City is going to be in a
position to provide information to the school district that
they need to assist them with the design of their plan for
development of school facilities; therefore, it is recommended
that Council act now to got the planning process moving by
authorizing the initiation of this study.

Council Agenda - 2/25/91
Consideration of authorizing staff to work with Citv Planner
toward development of an Industrial Park Master Plan. (J.O.)
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The Industrial Development Committee has recommended that the
City Council authorize staff and the City Planner to analyze
issues pertaining to future development of industrial areas in
the community. The goal of the study would be to develop a
basis for zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments
designed to assist the City in achieving industrial land
development potential. Following are the various concerns
that have been raised in the past few months along with a
proposed method for addressing the concerns. Attached is a
map which corresponds by number with the issues noted below.
I. DEVELOPMENT OF "BUSINESS PARK" DESIGN STANDARDS (BLUE)
School District/Industrial Park Compatability
As you know, the School District recently purchased
over 40 acres of land in addition to the original
80 acres purchased in 1986. The School District
now owns approximately 130 acres of land adjacent
to industrial areas as shown on the attached map.
As you can see, the close proximity of the two land
uses can create potential for future conflicts
between school uses and industrial uses. One
reason for the study would be to establish
industrial development standards designed to
minimize the potential conflict between school and
industrial uses.
Also included in the study will be identification
of possible linkages of opon space or trails into a
park system that can serve as a unique element
providing better integration with future
residential development and school activities.
Remmole/Tapper Concerns
The City is fortunate to have become the now home
of two high-quality firms that feature attractive
development sitos. We have been told by both of
those firms that one of the negative features about
Monticello is the lack of aesthetic controls in the
industrial park areas. Remmolo Engineering almost
located elsewhere becauso of this concern. If the
City is interested in improving our ability to
attract high-quality industries, we may wish to
establish higher dovolopment standards in certain
0
Council Agenda - 2/25/91
industrial areas. Specifically, the City may wish
to develop new standards consistent with the
Remmele and Tapper sites for industrial areas
located along the Chelsea Road corridor and eapt of
the existing Oakwood Industrial Park. The Remmele
and Tapper development would serve as the "entry
point" to this "Business Park Area." In sum, this
concept might have the following positive results:
Development of a business park concept will
provide a place for companies interested in
locating in an area where site development
standards must remain high.
It is likely that high development or business
park standards will be necessary in the
industrial areas adjacent to the school
facilities.
The business park standards will not impact
existing industrial land; therefore,
industries that cannot achieve the higher
development standards will continue to have a
place to locate.
II. ANALYZE FUTURE USE OF B -2/B-3 PROPERTY NORTH OF MIDDLE
SCHOOL (BLUE)
Much of the land directly north of the middle school site
is zoned B-2 and B-3, which allow primarily commercial
uses. The proposed study would review the present zoning
designation and determine if this property might achieve
a higher use if all or a portion of this area is placed
under a different zoning designation. In addition,
special regulations would be adopted which would ensure
development that is compatible with school uses. Perhaps
a portion of this area could be included in the business
park area designation.
Following are some of the concerns regarding the existing
designation of the area north of the middle school as B-3
(highway business) and B-2 (limited business district).
1. Preservation of industrial land is important to the
long-term economic health of the community. It may
be possible to allow light industrial development
in this area without negatively impacting school
uses.
0
Council Agenda - 2/25/91
It may not make sense to encourage B-3 (highway
commercial) uses outside of the Highway 25
corrider. Typically, commercial uses should be
kept centralized and near major highways. • The
existence of the large B-3 zone at this location is
not consistent with this concept.
The area is not a great retail location because it
is not on a major highway and because there is no
access to the freeway; therefore, the property may
develop slowly under the existing designation.
III. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE KLEIN FARM (PURPLE)
The Industrial Development Committee has recognized that
there are limits to the availability of industrial land,
and the committee is interested in identifying areas for
future industrial development in addition to the areas
now identified for industrial use. The area directly
south of the Oakwood Industrial Park, or the "Klein
farm," has been identified informally as a potential area
for future industrial use. One goal of the study would
be to analyze potential uses for the Klein farm given the
close proximity to the future elementary school and given
the presence of the power lines that traverse the site.
IV. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOGLUND PROPERTY (YELLOW)
The Hoglund property consists of 72 acres of land zoned
I-1 (light industrial). This property is sandwiched
between the freeway on the south and Highway 75 on the
north. Dahlheimer's property serves as the easterly
boundary. The proposed study would analyze the existing
zoning designation and determine if any changes are
appropriate. In addition, concepts for future
development of the site, specifically a potential route
for East Seventh Street, and the street's relationship to
the Fallon Avenue crossing would be identified. This
particular aspect of the study is of a lesser priority
and could be abandoned to save expenses.
V. DEVELOPMENT OF FREEWAY ACCESS AT COUNTY ROAD 118
The existing comprehensive plan identifies the need to
develop access at this location to I-94. The proposed
study would examine the need to develop approach ramps
and determine to what extent the City should be taking a
proactive approach toward acquisition of land or
casements necessary to develop freeway access at this
location.
(2)
Council Agenda - 2/25/91
VI. DEVELOPMENT OF FREEWAY CROSSING AT FALLON AVENUE
The comprehensive plan calls for development of a freeway
crossing at Fallon Avenue. The proposed study would
examine the need to develop the proposed overpass in
light of continued traffic congestion at Highway 25/I-94
and in light of continued development south of the
freeway. The results of the study could become the basis
for establishing a fund dedicated to financing this
expensive improvement.
VII. DEVELOPMENT OF A PLAN FOR STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The efficient use of available industrial land can be
improved through development of a common, integrated
storm water management system. At present, there are no
plans in place for development of such a system; and
until such a plan is in place, each development proposal
will need to be designed to accommodate storm water on
site. Such a piecemeal approach will result in a
development pattern that does not result in the highest
development potential of the land.
The City Engineer will be asked to participate in the
study to assist with development of a storm water
management plan that would be integrated with land use
plans prepared by John Uban. I have been informed that
OSM will conduct the study at a cost not to exceed
$5,000.
BUDGET IMPACT
The City budget includes $19,000 for the cost to study the
land use issues as noted above. In addition, $20,000 was
placed in the budget to address city-wide storm water issues.
Sufficient budgeted funds are available to finance the study.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
Motion to authorize staff to work with consultants toward
development of a study that addresses the issues noted
above.
Under this alternative, staff would begin to coordinate
the efforts of the City Planner and Engineer and work
toward addressing issues noted above. Council may wish
to select this option but limit the scale of the study by
eliminating some of the issues above, or Council may wish
to expand the scope of the study. The cost of this
(2)
Council Agenda - 2/25/91
option for planning alone is estimated to be $20,000.
Please see John Uban's proposal for more details.
Engineering expenses not to exceed $5,000.
Motion to authorize the study of a limited number of
items noted above utilizing City staff resources only.
Under this alternative, Council may wish to direct staff
and Planning Commission to study the matter without the
direct involvement of the City Planner. Staff and
Planning Commission are capable of preparing new zoning
regulations that might fit a "business park" environment.
Such regulations would be patterned after standards
already in place in another community. Under this
alternative, staff would utilize the City Planner as an
"advisor" only. Under this alternative, planner fees
might amount to $5,000.
Motion to deny authorization to study issues noted above.
Under this alternative, no action would be taken to
address the issues noted above, and the current zoning
designation and land use controls would remain in place.
Council should select this alternative if it is not
convinced that new land use controls need to be
established in light of the emerging development patterns
in the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The study as proposed is an expensive proposition; at the same
time, the magnitude and complexity of the issues, along with
the potential far reaching impact of plans made today may
justify the expense. Staff recommends that Council review the
issues noted in this memo and determine the scope of the
project. Once this is accomplished, staff will contact John
Uban and have him refine his proposal accordingly. If Council
wishes to go ahead using Uban's services, a "not to exceed"
figure should be established. Finally, if Council is not
satisfied with the quote provided by Uban, staff could quickly
prepare an RFP and submit it to other planners in hopes of
receiving a better price.

Council Minutes - 2/25/91
Consideration of authorizing staff to work with Citv planner
toward development of Industrial Park Master Plan.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the Industrial
Development Committee has recommended that the City Council
authorize staff and City planner to analyze issues pertaining
to future development of industrial areas in the community.
O'Neill went on to note that one of the goals of the study
would be to develop a basis for zoning ordinance and
comprehensive plan amendments designed to assist the City in
achieving industrial land development potential.
O'Neill went on to review the various concerns that have been
raised in the past few months regarding industrial land
development along with a proposed method for addressing the
concerns. In his report, O'Neill outlined the concept of
development of a business park design standard in the area of
the proposed school district/elementary school development.
The study would attempt to establish an industrial development
standard designed to minimize potential conflict between
school and industrial. uses. O'Neill also noted that the City
may wish to develop new standards consistent with the Remmele
and Tapper sites for industrial areas located along the
Chelsea Road corridor and east of the existing Oakwood
Industrial Park. The new standards developed under a business
park concept would provide a place for companies interested in
locating in an area where site development standards must
remain high. He went on to note that the business park
standards will not impact existing industrial land; therefore,
Industries that cannot achieve the higher development
standards will continue to have a place.to locate.
O'Neill also went on to review the importance of development
of a drainage plan for the area between the school district
property and the freeway. At this time, development of that
land is hampered by an absence of storm water drainage plans.
It may be the appropriate time to develop a plan that would
allow for the most efficient use of the industrial property.
Council reviewed the proposal to conduct a planning study. It
was the consensus of the Council to table the authorization to
conduct the planning study pending additional input from the
City planner. Council was concerned that the cost of the
study is somewhat excessive, and it was suggested that the
scope of this study be reduced in an effort to reduce the cost
as well. O'Neill noted that he would discuss the matter with
the planner and prepare a revised method and program for
addressing the planning issues. Council also noted that it
makes sense to get the cooperation of Farm Credit on this
project. O'Neill noted that he would contact Farm Credit and
request their participation in this planning process.
Q,
t Council Minutes - 2/25/91
Council was concerned that the drainage issues are not
properly understood in the area; therefore, a motion was made
by Shirley Anderson, seconded by Dan Blonigen, to authorize
expenditure of $5,000 toward payment of costs associated with
development of a storm water management plan in the area.
Motion carried unanimously.
O'Neill noted that the cost to conduct the storm water
management plan could be incorporated into a public
improvement project and said expense could be incorporated
into a future assessment role.

RE: Industrial Park Master Plan
Dear Jeff:
As we discussed a few weeks ago, we would be happy to assist the City in preparing new
development standards and a master plan for Monticello's industrial park. This work would
combine existing promotional approaches being used by the Economic Development
Commission and Chamber of Commerce to further enhance the industrial park and its
ability to attract new industry to Monticello.
Initially, the area around the industrial park should be looked at as it relates to future
land development and the relationship of industrial traffic on the new school location, as
well as other platted residential properties. In reviewing the existing conditions of the
Industrial Park, potential industrial growth and land requirements should be reexamined to
make sure that, to today's market conditions, the City has an appropriate amount of
industrial property for future development.
Part of the initial analysis of the area will include reconnaissance using aerial photography,
topographic maps, and engineering utility data from the City and LGSM. From this
reconnaissance, we will make recommendations for enhancements to the industrial park
including circulation and interstate highway identity. Based on these findings. we will
prepare a strategy for industrial park development. This may include issues of utilities,
hridges and highway access, open space, new performance standards for development, and
ordinance changes including setbacks and building construction.
After reviewing these findings with City Staff and the Economic Development Commission,
we will proceed with the master planningof the industrial park. 'Kris will include new
strategies for encouraging an industrial ase development that will provide for a high
quality business park atmosphere. Also included in the master planning will be patterns of
ownership, recent development, and possible linkages of open space or trails into a park
system that can serve as a unique element providing better integration with future
residential development and school activities.
G)
JeR O'Neil, Industrial Park Master Plan Page 2
An illustrative plan showing all of the elements of the industrial park will be prepared.
This Master Plan can be used for future promotional activity and decision making necessary
to direct development in the industrial park. Furthermore, we will explore a new business
park zone and/or special development standards applicable to the industrial master plan to
assure continued coordination and enhanced development practices.
Throughout the process of developing the master plan and zoning ordinances, we would
work closely with City Staff and the Economic Development Commission in reviewing this
project with the Planning Commission and business groups. To develop a consensus of
purpose and direction needed to complete a master plan for the industrial park, it is
important to have the support of the affected land owners, as well as with City leaders.
The plan works best with community consensus.
Although the described work program may vary after meeting with the Economic
Development Commission and others, we propose to proceed in the following order:
I. Analysis of Existing Conditions
2. Prepare Findings of Development Review
3. Prepare Mastrr Plan for Industrial Park
4. Prepare Appropriate Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan Amendments
5. Make Presentations Before the City Council, Planning Commission, Business Groups.
and land Owners
We estimate the costs to he as follows:
1. Analysis
$4,500.00
2. Findings
2,200.00
3. Master Plan
4,400.00
4, Ordinances and Amendments
4,800.00
5. Meetings and Presenmtions
3,000.00
Thr. ahrive costs may vary depending on actual requested work and the cuent of assistance
from City Staff and others in the gathering of data.
As the industrial park today has a variety of types of development, both old and new,
there needs to be a cohesive overview and a conceited effort to enhance its image and
regional importance. We believe that this effort will have many long term and positive
effects on the community, stahilizing both its tax base and employment opportunities, as
well as developing a very useful tool to attract new husinesses.
Sincerely.

RE: Proposal fur Industrial Park Master Plan
Dear Jeff:
I have reviewed our proposal and believe that we can adjust the work program to meet
many of your basic concerns and, at the same time, reduce the costs. To assist us in
keeping the costs as low as possible, we would rely on the City to develop for us an
upprepriate base map of the study area. This map would include property lines, parcel
uwncrship, roads. power lines, utilities, buildings, parking lots, etc. Staff assistance in
obtaining information and the development of the base map will help considerably in our
proposed work program.
We prupose to prepare a land use study focusing on the school property and adjacent
ureas. From this, we will create generalized land use plan alternatives for the Planning
Commission and City Council to consider. With the alternate uses, we would develop an
outline of new standards that could he applied or written into new ordinances. This
revtew will not include a complete comprehensive master plan with detailed illustrative
G� utiles a, fust wntanNl.teJ. Also, under this phase of work, we woulo not antictpatc
the preparation of ordinance amendments for the City to consider.
We will also work with the City Engineer on utility and storm drainage issues as may be
needed. A critical element in all of this will be an open space plan that will help buffer
adjacent uses and, at the same time, create a unique and attractive setting for both
residential and industrial developments. The open space system also can include some of
the drainage features and existing utility lines,
We will take our land use plans and suggested standards and assist the City in making
presentations beforevarious groups and individuals in order to solicit their support for the
direction of planning and new industrial standards,

I envision this process to be a very cooperative one between the City Staff and DSU in
developing the most complete and cost effective product possible. We believe that there
is great potential for improving the area in south Monticello before additional development
takes place.
It is estimated that the costs for the reduced scope of services would be between Eight
and Nine Thousand Dollars (48,000.00 to $9,000.00). The amount of meetings and
presentations, of course, would be controlled by the City, but may need some additional
emphasis later in the project. As always, we will continue to work with City Staff to
help develop a consensus in the community toward developing an effective planning program
for industrial growth in Monticello.

Council Agenda - 4/22/91
ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of renewal of gambling licenses --Monticello Jaycees.
(R.W.)
A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND:
The Monticello Jaycees currently have three gambling licenses that
are to expire June 30, 1991, and are located at the Silver Fox
Motel, the Comfort Inn, and Joyner's Bowling Alley. New state
regulations require that organizations apply for renewal of their
gambling licenses at least 10 weeks prior to the expiration; and as
such, the Monticello Jaycees are requesting the Council approve the
issuance of the licenses by agreeing to waive the 60 -day waiting
period.
Technically the City does not officially approve license renewals,
but the Gambling Control Division does allow the City Council to
prohibit the activity if It passes a resolution in opposition. The
City Council has 60 days after the application is received in which
to express opposition to the Gambling Control Board.
It the Council does not oppose the issuance of the gambling license
renewals, I will write a letter to the Gambling Control Division
indicating the City has no opposition to the renewals taking effect
June 30, 1991.
