MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL Monday, April 22, IBM - 7 p.m. Members Present: Brad Fyle, Shirley Anderson, Clint Herbst, Brian Stumpf, Tom Perrault Members Absent: None A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY TOM PERRAULT TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING HELD APRIL 8, 1996, AS WRITTEN. Motion carried unanimously. City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller reported that the Post Office recently notified approximately 300 customers that their cluster mailboxes would be removed by July 1996, as they are costly and time consuming for the Postal Service to operate. Since city ordinance requires the cluster mailbox concept in all new subdivisions, the locked units were supplied by the Postal Service in some subdivisions. Wolfsteller noted that if the mailboxes are removed by the Post Office, it may be difficult to make sure that all the residents continue to use the cluster box concept, as the City would be unable to require the developers to install now mailboxes in the now -completed subdivisions. Cuuncilmember Shirley Anderson noted that in some communities the mailbox units were turned around, which made mail delivery much easier. It was the consensus of Council to direct the City Administrator to notify Postmaster Jack Hutchinson that if the Postal Service removed the cluster boxes, it was the City Council's view that it would be the responsibility of the Postal Service to replace them with an alternate cluster box style. Councilmember Clint Herbst noted that there are sealcoat chips on the lawns in the Cardinal Hills subdivision and requested that the public works department review the area. Page 1 Q Council Minutes - 4/22/96 C. Councilmember Clint Herbst requested that all 'letters to the editor" written by City staff as City employees be reviewed and approved by the City Council. D. Councilmember Shirley Anderson requested that information mailed by City staff for the Monticello Community Partners (MCP) be mailed in plain envelopes rather than City of Monticello envelopes to avoid confusion on who the information is from. City staff will inform the MCP that they need to provide their subcommittees with a supply of envelopes for future mailings. E. Update on Highway 25/Chelsea Corridor Studg. Mayor Brad Fyle noted that Council needed more time to review the Highway 25/Chelsea Corridor Study and recommended that no decisions be made at this time. Ron Bray of WSB briefly reviewed the study, the purpose of which was to determine the best position for a future intersection serving the area on State Highway 25 directly south of the freeway and for identifying service roads and access points to Highway 25. He also reviewed Uro proposed timeline and requested that Council schedule a workshop to review the proposed options, City Engineer Bret Weise noted that MN/DOT is supportive of the project and has sufficient funds to construct an expansion of Highway 25 to four lanes from the freeway to Nellbergs Mobile Home Park. It was the consensus of Council to schedule a workshop for Monday, May 13, 1996, at 6 p.m., to discuss the Highway 25/Chelsea Corridor Study in more detail. City Administrator Wolfsteller reported that according to the records retention schedule, meeting tapes may be destroyed one year after approval of the written minutes. He asked Council if they would like to keep the tapes longer or destroy them according to the retention schedule. It was the consensus of Council to authorize destruction of meeting tapes 3 years after upproval of the written minutes. Page 2 0 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 Tom Overman noted that the railroad crossing on Jerry Liefert Drive was in poor condition and asked who could make the necessary repairs. Public Works Director John Simola stated that he would advise Burlington Northern of the repairs needed and ask what could be done in the meantime. Overman also requested that the city ordinance regarding dogs be publicized, as there have been some problems in the Par West subdivision. It was noted by Council that information could be published in the local newspaper or in the City's newsletter. A. Consideration of resolution authorizing the application for a loan from the Public Facilities Authority for the wastewater treatment plant eye na_ Rion prgiec Recommendation: Adopt a resolution which indicates the City has the legal authority to apply for the loan and that the Mayor or City Administrator are authorized to execute any necessary documents for the loan.

Pago 3 0 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 Mayor Fyle opened the public hearing. City Administrator Wolfsteller reported that the list of delinquent utility accounts were at least 60 days past due and included all new delinquents from the last time accounts were certified. In addition, the amount owed also included an administrative fee of $25 per account. It was recommended that the delinquent accounts be placed on an assessment roll for certification in 1997 at an interest rate of 8'%. Councilmembers discussed the possibility of increasing the administrative fee according to the amount of the delinquent bill. There being no comment from the public, the public hearing was closed.

Wolfsteller noted that Mr. Rob Hoffman, owner of J.P.'s Anne:, would like to offer a morning brunch that would include the availability of liquor before noon; therefore, he requested consideration of an ordinance nmendment allowing liquor sales to begin at 10 a.m. on Sundays, After discussion, Mayor Fyle closed the public hearing. Page 4 a, Council Minutes - 4/22196 A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO DENY AMENDING THE ORDINANCE AND LEAVE SUNDAY SALES BEGINNING A 12:00 NOON ON SUNDAYS. Voting in favor: Brian Stumpf, Clint Herbst, Shirley Anderson, Brad Fyle. Opposed: Tom Perrault. Motion passed. Mayor Fyle opened the public hearing. Assistant Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that the Prairie West final plat was approved contingent on the vacation of Broadway Circle. The homeowner association would be responsible for plowing snow and maintaining the roadway, and the City would continue to be responsible for maintaining the sanitary sewer and water system up to the individual service lines. He noted that easement rights to the utilities would be recorded when the road is vacated. There being no comment from the public, the public hearing was closed. A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY TOM PERRAULT TO APPROVE VACATION OF BROADWAY CIRCLE CONTINGENT ON THE PROVISION OF WATER, SANITARY SEWER, AND STORM SEWER EASEMENTS. Motion carried unanimously. Assistant Administrator O'Neill reported that the proposed development and disbursement agreements for the Prairie West development were similar to past agreements adopted. The development agreement for Prairie West requires the developer to pay for installation of public utilities, including Construction Inspector fees. Under the disbursement agreement, hinds sufficient to cover the coat of the project would be placed in escrow, with the City controlling the release of funds from tho bank to the developer's contractor when the work has been completed properly. A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AND DISBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS FOR THE PRAIRIE WEST DEVELOPMENT CONTINGENT ON FINAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY THE CITY ATTORNEY AND SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS BY THE CITY ENGINEER. Motion carried unanimously. Page 6 3 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 11; I Y• 11 N.Y.76 I 11 : 111 in.• X11 1 , 1 k1 I 1: Steve Grittman of Northwest Associated Consultants reported that Mike Zieska, on behalf of Car Star Inc., requested a conditional use permit to allow the establishment of an auto body repair shop in a B-3 (highway business) zone and a variance from the City's surfacing requirement for the vehicle storage areas. Grittman reviewed the area surrounding the site, noting that the use could compatibly exist at the site provided that ample screening is provided, particularly along the northern boundary adjacent to a commercial child care facility. The proposed facility was found to comply with lot area, width, building height, and setback requirements. Grittman also reviewed the various conditions that were recommended to be attached to the conditional use permit, noting that the Planning Commission also discussed the noise level associated with auto body repair and suggested that the doors could remain closed to reduce the amount of noise. The applicant proposed that the screening fence material be the same material as the building for a more uniform site, which the Planning Commission agreed would be acceptable. Planning Commission also discussed additional screening on the southerly boundary. Assistant Administrator O'Neill added that the entire outside storage area would be required to be screened. Crittman then reviewed the request to allow a crushed granite surface for the vehicle storage area rather than the required hard surfacing. He noted that the Planning Commission approved a crushed granite surface for the area west of the building, with hard surfacing required in the southern area of the site from Sandberg Road to tho end of tho building, Deferrment of hnrd surfacing was approved until October 16, 1997, or at the time the building is expanded. Landscaping or green space was also approved for areas not needed for drive area. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAR MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AN AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP IN A B•3 (HIGHWAY BUSINESS) ZONE WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: Pago 6 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 1. Two additional off-street parking stalls must be provided to comply with applicable off-street parking requirements (16 total spaces required). 2. Parking lot stalls must be increased in depth from 17 ft to 20 ft. 3. All City sign requirements are determined to be satisfied. 4. A grading and drainage plan is submitted and subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 6. All exterior lighting must be hooded and directed to reflect light away from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. 6. The proposed 30 -ft wide curb cut is subject to approval by the City Engineer. 7. The applicant demonstrate that no adverse noise impacts will be imposed upon surrounding properties (i.e., through building insulation, etc.). 8. Additional landscaping is provided along properties boundaries. Specifically, coniferous plantings be provided along the northern property lines to provide an effective year-round screen. 9. High quality fencing (i.e., wood or the same material used for the building) must be used to screen the site's outdoor storage area. 10. Compliance with other conditions as noted in the ordinance. Hard surfacing of the drive area west of the building line must be completed at the time the building is expanded or no later than September 16, 1997. A crushed granite surface may be used until this time. Motion carried unanimously. Motion is based on the finding that the proposed project is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan goals and politico and in keeping with the intent of the zoning ordinance, is consistent with the purpose of the performance standards of the zoning ordinance, and will not have any adverse impacts as outlined in the zoning ordinance. Motion to add the hard surfacing requirement to the conditional use permit was based on the finding that the City would have more control over the site and over the phases being completed. Page 7 Council Minutes - 4/27/98 11. Consideration of a request to assiR . Post Office in PFitabligiMna an additional fl0m. City Administrator Wolfsteller reported that in the past, the Post Office had access points to their site from both Broadway and Locust Street; however, Metcalf and Larson, owners of the adjacent office building, recently blocked the access from Locust Street when their request for assistance in maintenance cost was denied by the Post Office and the building owner. At the time Metcalf and Larson requested assistance, it was brought to the City's attention that Metcalf and Larson never recorded the 20 -ft easement as originally agreed in the development agreement with the HRA. The easement access was to be provided in exchange for vacating the original 12 - ft easement used as access to the Post Office to allow Metcalf and Larson to build a larger building. The HRA acquired and demolished the property and resold it to Metcalf and Larson as part of a tax increment financing district. It was noted that Metcalf and Larson suggested that the City sell their adjacent lot to the owner of the Post Office building to allow an additional access point from Linn Street. Council discussed the possibility of selling the City -owned lot on Linn Street or whether they should request that the HRA re-establish the 20 -ft easement through the Metcalf and Larson parcel as originally agreed. It was noted by Councilmembers that the building owner may need to resolve this issue with Metcalf and Larson in order to keep the Post Office as a tenant. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY BRIAN STUMPF TO REQUEST THAT THE HRA FIRST ATTEMPT TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND RE-ESTABLISH THE ORIGINAL 20 -FT EASEMENT FROM LOCUST STREET. Voting in favor: Shirley Anderson, Brian Stumpf, Clint Herbst, Tom Perrault. Opposed: Brad Fyle. It was Fylo's view that the City should advise the owner of Cho Post Office building that the abutting City -owned lot is nvailable for sale. Herbst agreed that the City could still offer the lot for sale at a fair market value, Motion passed. 12. Cnnsid ratinn to nnpoint nn IW.. repregontntlyn to the DA. Economic Development Director 011ie Koropchak reported that Harvey Kendall submitted his resignation as a member of the IDC and EDA, and the IDC recommended the appointment of Ken Maus as the IDC representative to the EDA until the December 1998 term expiration. Page 8 0 Council Minutes - 4122196 A MOTION WAS MADE BY CLINT HERBST AND SECONDED BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT OF KEN MAUS AS THE IDC REPRESENTATIVE TO THE EDA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TERM TO EXPIRE DECEMBER 1996. Motion carried unanimously. 1 1: 1 (: 1 1 1 1 t1 I.1 :: Ill�t:i �) M 1' ' I 1 •' : 1 M Il:ll �:,l,�j 1 1 .1 t' City Administrator Wolfsteller noted that the lighting at city hall and the liquor store is inadequate and requested that Council consider replacing the light fixtures. Wolfsteller explained that the current lighting over the display floor area of the liquor store consists of incandesent bulbs, which are not very energy efficient. He noted that there are direct rebate programs through NSP that encourage customers to change their lighting systems to a more efficient type such as fluorescent. The coat to replace the lighting at the liquor store was estimated at $4,606, which would result in a payback period of 6.6 years based on estimated energy savings of $719 annually. In regard to city hall, the lighting consists of black hanging fixtures that reflect light off the ceiling using 400 -watt halogen light bulbs, which have not produced adequate light and have had to be supplemented with individual desk lamps. The cost for replacement with fluorescent fixtures mounted near the ceiling was estimated at $16,218, which would result in a payback period of approximately 4.7 years based on electrical savings of $2,800 annually and a $2,900 NSP rebate. Wolfateller suggested that Council may wish to first replace only two units to make sure the new fixtures are compatible with city hall architecture. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE. BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY TOM PERRAULT TO TABLE DISCUSSION OF REPLACING LIGHT FIXTURES AND DIRECT THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL QUOTES FOR COUNCIL REVIEW AT AN UPCOMING MEETING. Motion carried unanimously. 14. ('•onaidcrntion of ratilWinfr Inion contract renewal. City Administrator Wolfsteller reported that he and Councilmember Herbst met with union representatives and reached a tentative agreement regarding Cho union contract for the period April 1, 1996, to March 30, 1998, with the following changes proposed: Page 9 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 Increase benefits from 75% to 100% for the Groundskeeper/ Maintenance Worker, as the position has required 40 -hour weeks. Wages for union membership would increase 2.7% effective April 1, 1996. In addition, on April 1, 1997, union salaries would be increased an additional 1.5% or by a percentage equal to the amount granted to non-union employees for 1997, whichever is greater. In addition to the above contract language changes, two additional memorandums of understanding were also agreed to as follows: 1. On a trial basis, the City would change the work schedule for union employees to 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a half hour lunch, effective June, July, and August, 1996. 2. There appeared to be some reasonable benefit for the City to investigate the idea of changing the amount of days that can be accumulated for sick leave and/or the amount that could be applied toward future health insurance premiums upon retirement, which could be incentive for employees to retire earlier than normal. The memorandum stated that it was anticipated the Council would address this issue for all City employees, and any changes made would be retroactive to April 1, 1996, for the union membership. A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY TOM PERRAULT TO RATIFY AND EXECUTE A NEW 2 -YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE CHANGES AS OUTLINED, RESULTING IN A SALARY INCREASE OF 2.7% THE FIRST YEAR OF THE CONTRACT AND A MINIMUM OF 1.6% THE SECOND YEAR, AND 100' OF BENEFITS TO THE GROUNDSKEEPER POSITION, ALONG WITH THE TWO MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING. Motion carried unanimously. 15. Consideration o accelifina s Aid odorc_ontrol Onn four M�umi Shores. Assistant Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that in January of 1995, the City Council approved a conditional use permit to allow development of a 48 - unit three-story senior housing project (Mississippi Shores). As a condition of the approval, condition M9 stated "an air filtration system will be developed that will serve common areas within the building and will serve individual apartments meeting design requirements of the City Engineer." Pago 10 9 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 O'Neill noted that after inspection of the Mississippi Shores odor control system, it appeared the system for the common areas was acceptable; however, the individual living units did not have adequate odor scrubbing systems. George Bloom of OSM recommended that individual table -top air cleaners be purchased for each of the units; however, the Mississippi Shores Building Committee proposed to purchase only two individual units and purchase additional units upon complaints from individual residents. Council was requested to consider approval of this staged plan as meeting the requirement outlined in the conditional use permit. Councilmember Herbst noted that it would be wise to purchase the air cleaners as requested by residents rather than all at once to avoid unneeded extra cost. It was also noted by Councilmember Anderson that complaints from residents would go to Presbyterian Homes since they are the owners of the building; however, other Council members felt that since Presbyterian Homes was aware of the odor control requirements prior to building, they should be required to provide air cleaning units to each apartment. AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY TOM PERRAULT TO DENY APPROVAL OF THE STAGED ODOR CONTROL PLAN, AS TWO FREE-STANDING AIR CLEANERS WOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT AND WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIREMENT. Voting in favor: Brian Stumpf, Tom Perrault, Brad Fyle. Opposed: Clint Herbst, Shirley Anderson, as it was their view that purchasing the air cleaning units as requested by residents was acceptable. Motion passed. Public Works Director John Simola reported that the current street sweeper was purchased in 1979 and presented few problems during the past 17 years; however, it was recommended that the City consider purchasing a now Elgin street sweeper at this time at a cost of $95,052.83 through the state contract. The City of Rockford expressed an interest in purchasing the current street sweeper at a cost of $20,000. ANTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF AN ALL - HYDRAULIC ELGIN PELICAN SERIES P THREE -WHEEL BROOM SWEEPER ON THE STATE BID FOR A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $95,052.83. INCLUDING SALES TAX AND FREIGHT. Motion includes giving the City of Rockford first choice to purchase the current street sweeper at a cost of $20,000, or trade to MacQueen Equipment. Motion carried unanimously. Page 11 0 Council Minutes - 4/22/96 17. rnnsidPratinn of alIprovi ng hilIA for thp. mnn h of April. A MOTION WAS MADE BY SHIRLEY ANDERSON AND SECONDED BY CLINT HERBST TO APPROVE THE BILLS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL AS PRESENTED. Motion carried unanimously. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Karen Doty Office Manager Pap 12 9 Council Agenda - 6/13/96 The insurance requirements for contractors who dig in our city streets, right- of-ways, and easements have not been updated since the inception of our current ordinances back in the early `709. We have recently computerized the listing of contractors who routinely work in the city and obtain excavation permits so that we could track their insurances, license, and permit bonds and excavation permits. While doing this, we found that some contractors did not have certificates of insurance on file with us. We also found out that all contractors carried limits well above our current standards (we also found some contractors with lapsed insurance). Consequently, we asked Foster -Franzen to review the insurance that most contractors currently have and assist us with redrafting the insurance section of the ordinance to provide adequate protection for the City and its residents. Our current ordinance requires only public liability insurance of $60,000 per any one person and $100,000 per any one accident and property damage of not less than $26,000. No mention was made of automobile insurance or the State -required worker's comp insurance. We found that only a few contractors carried less than $1,000,000 of aggregate general liability insurance; in fact, almost 30% of the contractors listed carried $2,000,000 in general liability insurance. However, many of the contractors had a $600,000 limit per occurrence but provided e $1,000,000 umbrella; therefore, it seems appropriate to have our minimum set at $1,000,000. We also require $600,000/$1,000,0001$600,000 from our contract mowers mowing grass on City property and on private property as directed by the City. The following is a section of the ordinance redrafted to reflect the recommendation from Foster -Franzen, our insurance agent: 8-2-11: INSURANCE: A permittee, prior to the commencement of excavation work hereunder, shell f irnish the Public Works Director snlisfnctnry evidence in writing that the permittee has in force and will maintain in force during the performance of the excavation work and the period of the excavation permit, public liability insurance of not less than Ono Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for Each Occurrence and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for General Aggregate, duly issued by an Insurance Company authorized to do business in the state of Minnesota and on which policy the City is named as co-insured (additional insured), Council Agenda - 5/13/98 Worker's Compemation Ingurance: The contractor shall provide Worker's Compensation Insurance for all its employees and, in case any work is sublet, the contractor shall require the subcontractor to provide Worker's Compensation Insurance in accordance with Statutory requirements. Employer's Liability Limit shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1001000). The first alternative is to approve the ordinance amendment as drafted effective July 1, 1996. The second alternative would be not to approve the ordinance amendment as dratted but to reduce the insurance requirements. The third alternative would be not to change the current ordinance. C. RrAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director that the City Council authorize approval of the amendment as drafted in alterative 01.

[Dein Farms Phase II consists of 38 single family lots and represents an extension to Phase I of the Klein Farms subdivision. The preliminary plat has already been approved for this subdivision. Under Emmerich's proposal, WSB would be responsible for preparing the plans and specifications which would be used for the private construction and financing of roads and utilities much in the same manner that the River Mill subdivision was developed. Utilizing the City Engineer to complete the plans and specifications for a relatively simple project can expedite the work and reduce the redundancy and cost created by having two engineers study a relatively simple project. Emmerich has already submitted to the City a check in an amount in excess of $21,000 to cover all of WSB's cost associated with preparation of the plans and specifications. Motion to authorize the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications for Klein Farms Phase II. If Council selects this alternative, WSB will begin preparation of the plane and specifications with the goal of plan and spec approval on the agenda at the next meeting of the City Council, along with the associated development and disbursement agreements. Once all of these items aro in place, then Emmerich would be allowed to proceed with the next phase of his development. It should also be noted that Emmerich has met all of his commitments with regard to payment of assessments and renewal of lettere of credit relating to the first phase of his development, Motion to deny authorization to prepare plans and specifications. Council Agenda - 5/13/96 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Tony Emmerich has provided a check to the City in the amount of the cost to complete the plans and specifications as requested. It is my view that WSB will protect the beat interest of the City in designing the streets and road utilities. Having Emmerich finance preparation of plans and specifications does not, in my mind, present a conflict of interest, especially when the standards and design of this subdivision are so clear cut. None. Council Agenda - 5/13/88 .. AND BACKGROUND: Mr. Vic Hellman requests permission to realign property boundaries for two existing lots at the corner of Broadway and Elm Street. Lots 4 and 5, Block 45, under the current alignment face Broadway. Hellman requests that the interior lot line be modified so that the front yards face Elm Street. The City has allowed this type of simple subdivision on numerous occasions. In this situation, for safety sake, it makes sense to make Elm Street the front yard and street access point. Hellman proposes to build a zero lot line duplex at this location. B. ALT .RNAT ACTION : Motion to approve the simple subdivision of Lots 4 and 5, Block 45, Original Plat. This is the recommendation of the Planning Commission Motion to deny approval of the simple subdivision. C_ STAFF F..O MF.NDATION: I recommend approval. n_ SUPPORTING DATA: Site plan information. EXIST Nam nor v IG L,� 5110 �a. E. 1 Council Agenda - 5/13/96 so, Consideration of appointment of Joseph Merchnk to the position of Chief Building Official- (J.O.) As you recall, some weeks ago the City Council established a new position entitled Chief Building Official. Council directed City staff to advertise the opening, and a subcommittee, made up of Brian Stumpf, Brad Fyle, Tom Bose, John Simota, and myself was organized to review the applications. The City received 11 applications for the position, of which 5 individuals were interviewed. After the first round of interviews, the subcommittee selected two prime candidates for the position. Reference checks were made on the two prime candidates, and a second interview date was scheduled. As a result of the information obtained at the second interview, the group voiced unanimous support for appointing Joe Merchak to the position of Chief Building Official. Based on Joe's experience and education, he is well qualified for the position. Merchak has a Bachelor's degree with a concentration in building construction, 10 years' experience in the construction industry, 8 years' experience in building code enforcement, he has a Minnesota Building Official Certification, and he has supervisory and building trade experience. In addition, Joe has been involved in the conversion of manual recordkeeping systems to computerized recordkeeping systema. For your information, I have attached a copy of Joe's application and resume. Also attached is a memo to Joe offering him the position subject to City Council approval. The memo outlines the proposed starting salary for Joe, which is at the midpoint of the range for his position. It is my view and the view of the City Administrator that with the level of experience and education that Joe brings to the position, he should be eligible for a starting salary equal to the midpoint of the salary range. We also feel that it is not likely that Joe would have taken the position if he would have had to start at the lowest step in the range for the position. Joe requested that he be provided three weeks of vacation in his first year on the job, Rick and L discussed this matter, and it was our view that with the level of experience, age, education, and service to local government, it would be reasonable to offer Merchak two weeks' paid vacation and one week unpaid leave. We also informed Merchak that we would be presenting a request to the City Council to amend the personnel policy by allowing greater flexibility when establishing vacation benefits for now employees with years of municipal experience. This will be the subject of an upcoming agenda item that need not be discussed at this time. Merchak has taken the position under the assumption that he will get two weeks' paid vacation and one week unpaid. At some point in the near future, City Council will be asked to Council Agenda - 5/13/96 consider allowing new employees to be offered three weeks' paid vacation on a case-by-case basis, and Council will be asked to make this policy change retroactive to Joe Merchak's situation. As noted above, Joe does have experience in computer application development. It is expected that Joe will be reviewing the computer needs for the department and will be submitting a request for a computer accordingly. This request will probably be brought to the City Council sometime in November or December. It is a possibility, however, that Joe's effectiveness can be enhanced if he has a computer at his desk immediately. Therefore, it is possible that City staff may be presenting a request for additional computer equipment sometime in the near future. The memo to Joe also outlines a proposal to pay him $50 per month in addition to the regular $.28 per mile for the use of his private vehicle. Under this scenerio, Joe's vehicle would be the backup vehicle to the van that the building department now uses on a regular basis. It was our view that offering Joe $50/month in addition to the regular mileage figure of $.28 per mile was a fair offer given the relatively high expense of starting and stopping a vehicle running short distances. We did not think it would be fair to pay only $.28 per mile to Joe for many short tripe throughout the community. That is why we are offering him the $50/month stipend to be paid to him until such time that a decision is made as to whether or not to purchase an additional vehicle for the building inspection department. B ALTERNATIVE ACTIONq: Motion to appoint Joe Merchak to the position of Chief Building Official as outlined in the attached memo to Merchak. Joe has accepted the terms outlined in the memo to him. Under this alternative, Joe Merchak would be starting as soon as possible. Motion to deny appointment of Joe Merchak to the position of Chief Building Official. City Council should select this alternative if it does not feel that Joe Morchak has the qualifications to moot the position, or this alternative should be selected if Council no longer feels that establishing a Chief Building Official position is a good idea. Council Agenda - 6113/96 O_ STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is our view that Joe Merchak meets the requirements for the position. He comes well recommended from various references that were checked. Joe has a significant amount of experience and background that will enable the building department to effectively respond to the demands of a growing community. Joe Memhak understands that he will be on probation for the first six months of the position. We have outlined a clear set of goals and objectives and performance expectations for the position during the first six months. We will be monitoring him closely to make sure that he is able to meet these goals and objectives so that by the end of the six-month period, we will be able to evaluate whether or not things are working out. The goals and expectations outlined for Joe Memhak have been reviewed with the Building Inspector. We fully expect that they will be able to work well together as a team. D.

Merchak Council Agenda - 5/13/96 A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: According to John Simola and Bret Weiss, there is a section of trunk sanitary sewer located near the wastewater treatment plant in the vicinity of the Bondhus property that is in need of reconstruction. Apparently, there is evidence of water infiltration problems at this location. According to Simola and Weiss, the problem is severe enough to justify reconstruction in 1996. Correction of the infiltration problems will serve to stretch the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant. According to John Simola, the estimated coat to complete the actual reconstruction work is $57,400. The work will involve removal of a number of trees and disturbance of the property owned by John Bondhus. As you may know, there are a series of trout ponds that will be affected by the reconstruction activities. I am not sure to what extent the reconstruction will affect, the water level in the trout ponds. City staff will be in close contact with John Bondhus throughout the project and will make every effort to minimize the impact of construction on the affected properties. At the meeting on Monday, Bret Weiss and John Simola will be present to discuss the potential impact on adjoining properties. B. LLTERNATIVE ACTION : Motion to adopt a resolution accepting the feasibility study and authorizing the City Engineer to prepare plana and specifications for reconstruction of tho River Street trunk sanitary sower. Under this alternative, the City Engineer will begin immediately to draw plans for the project. The plans then would be submitted along with the upcoming plans for the Briar Oakes subdivision, which are slated for approval at the May 27 meeting of the City Council. Once plans have been approved, the bidding process will bo initiated accordingly. Motion W deny adoption of the resolution, do not accept Cho feasibility study, and do not authorize preparation of plans and specifications for reconstruction of the River Street trunk sanitary sewer. Council Agenda - 6/13/96 Council should select this alternative if, after further information provided by the City Engineer and Public Works Director, it is determined that the need to complete the reconstruction in 1996 is not justified. C ST FF COMMENDATION: According to John 3imola and Bret Weiss, the infiltration problems experienced at this location are significant and are adding to the capacity problems experienced by the wastewater treatment plant. It, therefore, makes sense to move forward by authorizing preparation of plans and specifications. Feasibility study. L Council Agenda - 5/13/96 Conidderation l/ , •tis , 1 „ �,: "� J , : , structure. , Ron u , : • This request stems from a request by Ron Michaelis to move an existing detached garage (accessory structure) from its existing location to a new location on his property. Michaelis plans on moving the structure to a position within proper setbacks. Michaelis does not have an attached garage along with the detached garage. The problem is that Michaelis also has a small 8 x 12 storage shed on the property. According to code, it is not lawful to have more than one "accessory structure" on your property. Therefore, technically, Michaelis should be required to remove the smaller accessory structure in conjunction with moving the garage. Michaelis wishes to keep the storage building. City Council is asked for assistance in interpreting the code as it applies to this situation. Should a second 96 sq ft "accessory building" be allowed? According to Steve Grittman, many cities have made a policy decision to allow a second accessory building as long as it is smaller than 120 sq R, even though the ordinance states that only one accessory building is allowed. This is because structures that are less than 120 sq ft in size are not covered by the building code and are, therefore, not considered to be structures. Structures less than 120 sq ft are considered to be "personal property." However, these cities do limit the number of small sheds to a single shed in addition to the main accessory structure. It should be noted that although small sheds do not require a building permit, they must be placed within the required setbacks. From time to time, City staff finds sheds placed on or very near the property line, whereupon the property owner is asked to move it accordingly. Motion to allow a single storage shed in addition to an accessory structure if the size of the shed is less than 120 sq ft and call for a public hearing on a zoning ordinance amendment clarifying this interpretation. Under this alternative, Michaelis would be allowed to proceed and City staff would prepare an ordinance amendment accordingly. This Is the alternative recommended by the Planning Commission. Council Agenda - 5113/96 Motion to deny allowing a single storage shed in addition to an accessory structure. Under this alternative, Michaelis would be denied his request to obtain a building permit to move his garage until the storage shed is removed. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the City Council follow the trend set by other cities in this regard and select alternative #1. A small storage structure in addition to an accessory building would not appear to create problems for adjoining property owners. It is my view and the view of the Planning Commission that each property should be allowed to have one small shed in addition to an accessory building. To follow up, the Planning Commission will be introducing language to the ordinance that will limit the number of small storage buildings to one in addition to an accessory building. Excerpts from the city code. (D) ACCESSORY BUILDINGS, USES, AND EQUIPMENT: 1. An accessory building shall be considered an integral part of the principal building if it is connected to the principal building either directly or by an enclosed passageway. 2. No accessory building shall be erected or located within any required yard other than the rear yard. 3. Accessory buildings and garages shall not exceed fifteen (15) feet in height and shall be ten (10) feet or more from all side lot lines of adjoining lots, five (5) feet or more from the rear lot line, shall be ten (10) feet or more from any other building or structure on the same lot, and shall not be located within a utility easement. 4. No accessory building or garage shall occupy more than twenty-five (25) percent of a rear yard, nor' exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor area. 5. No permit shall be issued for the construction of more thgn_ one (1) private accessory structure for each dwelling. Each applicant for a building permit to construct any dwellings shall be required to provide off-street parking space for at least one (1) automobile per family to be housed in addition to any garage space to be used. (9!22191, #211) 5. No accessory uses or equipment such as air conditioning cooling structures or condensors which generate noise may be located in a side yard except for side yards abutting streets where equipment is fully screened from view. MONTICELLO ZONING ORDINANCE �P/ > Council Agenda - 5/13196 aceea (J-0.) This is a housekeeping item relating to the conditional use permit that was awarded to Mike Zieska at the last meeting. As you recall, Zieska requested a conditional use permit which would allow him to operate an auto body repair shop in a B-3 zone. The site plan involved development of two lots with the main building on one lot and the parking area on the other lot. Zieska was informed that in order to obtain his conditional use permit, he will need to eliminate the lot line and vacate the utility easements between the two lots. It is required that the lot line be eliminated so that the second parcel used for parking cannot be sold off without City approval. The City Engineer has reviewed the site grading and drainage plan for both the Zieska property and the adjoining properties and has determined that there is no overriding reason why the City should hold on to the easement rights at this location. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS; 1. Motion to approve the request to vacate the utility easement and eliminate the lot line between Lots 3 and 4, Block 3, Plaza Partnere. 2. Motion to deny tho request to vacate the utility easement and eliminate the lot line between Lots 3 and 4, Block 3, Plaza Partners. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Basad upon the input from the City Enginoor and the Public Works Director, it is my recommendation that the utility easements be vacated as requested and that the two lots he joined, which will result in a development site on a single parcel.

In the long tens, the applicant plans to construct a ± 1.170 square foot building addition whiot'1 would eomnrunodate minor automobile repair activities. The subject property is zoned PZM, Performance Zone Mined. To accommodate the applicant'a immediate and long range development plan, the following approvals have been requested: 1. Zoning Ordinance amendment to establish "automobile maintenance facllitlW as conditional uses In the PZM Zoning District. 2. Zoning Ordinance amendment to establish 'minor automobile repair as a conditional use In the PZM Zoning Disuia. 3. Conditional use permit to allow an automobile maintenance within a PZM Zoning District 5775 Wayzata Blvd. - Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 - (612) 595.9636•Fan. 595.98377 7-96 Attached for reference: Exhibit A - Site Location Exhibit B - Detailed Site Location Exhibit C - Draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment Exhibit D - Site Plan ISSUES ANALYSIS PZU Dhdrkt Amendment's Automobile Maintenance Facllldes. To accommodate the proposed "Express Lube' facility an amendment to the PZM District provisions is necessary. Specifically, the establishmerrt ot'automobile maintenance fadlftles' as a conditional use in the district has been proposed. In consideration of such amendment, the City should make a determination as to the sooeptebility, of such use within the PZM District According to the Ordinance, the purpose of the PZM District Is to provide a land use transition between high density residential land uses, as well as the Intermixing of each such land use. In some respects, an automobile maintenance facility is considered comparable in intensity to several existing conditional, in the PZM District, including car washes, dry cleaning and retail commercial activities (a ca wash facility currently exists to the east of the subject property). Alternatively, it is debatable whether a Gear distinction exists between an 'automobile maintenance tacitlty' and 'minor automobile repair facility' While justification for approval of the requested amendment may exist, a decision regarding the appropriateness of such amendment is considered a policy matter to be determined by City officials. Attached as Exhibit C Is a draft Zoning Ordinance amendment which would establish automobile maintenance facilities as conditional use in the PZM, Performance Zoning Mlxod District. Such amendment includes varimm conditions intended to mitigate potential adverse impacts. In review of the draft amwWrnont, it should be noted that 'automobile maintenance facilities' are referenced as Section 10-8.K1. While less than Ideal, such formatting responds to an existing formatting orror in the PZM section and Is Intended to expedite the emendmont process. Under the current Ordinance format, the following are listed as conditional uses In the PZM District: N. Apartment Density Bonus O. Findings of Fad P. Standards 0. Project Review Process Rather than reformat extensive volumes of Ordinance material at this time, a simple reference to automobile maintenance facilities as item K 1 under PZM conditional uses is considered appropriate. Mnor Automobile Repair. In the long tern, the applicant has expressed a desire to provide minor automobile ropair activities through a future building expansion. To accommodate such activities, an amendment to the PZM District provisions has been requested which would establish such activities as conditional uses. The Zoning Ordinance defines minor automobile repair as: [A01 AUTOMOBILE REPAIR - MINOR: Minor repair& Incidental body and fender work, painting and upholstering, replacement of parts end motor services to passenger automobiles, and trucks not exceeding nine thousand (9,000) pounds gross weight, but not Including any operation specified under 'automobile repair - major.* This business performs mechanical and electrical repairs to autos, light trucks, and equipment 9,000 pounds GVW and less. Allowed: Tune ups and adjustrnenm, replacement of parts (excluding body and frame), rebuilding of parts or components when installation Is available, wheel alignment and balancing, tire repair, radiator repair, washing, cleaning, and polishing. Currently, minor automobile repair facilities we listed as conditional uses in the 83, Highway Commercial; B-4, Regional Swiness; I -t, Light Industrial; and 1-2, Heavy Industrial Districts. Considering the innate characteristics of minor automobile repair facilities (i.e., noise, outdoor storage, eta), it Is tho opinion of our office that such use does not sati sty the purpose of the PZM District end Is more appropriataty allowed In higher Intensity districts. An ultimate decision regarding the acceptability of such activity within tho PZM District is, howevor, considered a policy matter to be determined by City officials_ Should the City fool that minor automobile repair Is an acceptable use of the property, we would suggest rezoning the property rather than pursue a PZM District amendment. It is tho opinion of staff that altomative zoning districts oxist which are better suited (end specifically intended) to accommodate uses of the Intensity of minor automottMe repair facilities. 7-9b Condldonal Use Parmit CUP Review Criteria. As mentioned previously, an amendment to PZM District requirements is necessary to accommodate the immediate development plans of the applicant. In this regard, a draft Zoning Ordinance amendment has been prepared which would establish'auton>obile maintenance facilities' as conditional uses In the PZM District Per the attached ordinance amendment (Exhibit C), a'automobile maintenance facility is defined as: A business which provides short term, while you wait, automobile maintenance service to automobiles and light trucks of nine thousand (9,100) GVW or less. Service activities include all changing, lubrication, tire rotation and the like, but in no case may include repair activities. Automobile maintenance fadlitles shall be distinguished from minor automobile repair facilities in that only while you waft service may be provided and vehicular storage shall be prohibited. The purpose of the required conditional use permit process Is to enable the City Council to assign dimensions to a proposed use or conditions surrounding it after consideration of adjacent uses and their functions and the special problems which the proposed use presents to provide the City of Monticello with a reasonable degree of discretion In determining the suitability of certain designated use upon the general welfare, public health and safety. Procedurally, the Planning Commission and City Council must consider the possible adverso effects of the proposed conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon but not limited to the following factors: Relationship to municipal Comprehensive Plan. The geographical area Involved. Whether such use will toad to or actually depreciate the area In which it is proposed. The character of the surrounding area. The demonstrated nood for such use. Nolghbodmod Chamatbr. As noted previously, the Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission and City Council to consider the cherecter of the area in which the use hes been proposed.

OR -Street Parking. Parking Supply. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide a specific off-street parking standard for automobile maintenance facilities. As part of the attached amendment, however, an atfatreei perking requirement applicable to the proposed use has been included. Such standard is referenced In an American Planning Association (APA) document entitled 'Off -Street Parking Requirements for Oil Change Facilities'. As calculated below, and assuming two service bays, the proposed automobile maintenance facility is required to provide six offatrest parking stalls. Spaces Ur Ratio Rggul gQ Automobile Maintenance Two spaces plus 6 Facility (two service bays) two spaces per service bay According to the submitted site plan, a total of four otfatrest parking stalls have been proposed. As a condition of CUP approval, the site plan should be revised to provide six off-street spaces. Dimensional Requirements. All proposed parking stalls and drive alsles have bean found to most or exceed minimum Ordinance requirements. 6 7-96 Handicap Stalls. In accordance with State American Disability Act requirements, one off-street handicap parking stall must be provided upon the site. Curbing. In eccadarm with Zoning ordinance requirements, all off-street parking areas must be provided a six Inch non -surmountable concrete curb. Surfacing. In accordance with Ordinance requirements, the proposed off-street parking area is to be surfaced In a bituminous material. Curb Cut. In what is considered a positive site design feature, a shared 35 foot wide out from County Road 75 has been proposed. As a condition of CUP approval, such oub cut access must be subject to approval by the Wright County Highway Dope,tment and City Engineer. Loading. The Zoning Ordinance does not provide a specific off-street loading requirement for uses such as that being proposed. As a condition of CUP approval, however, a specific off -West loading space should be designated upon the submitted site plan. Lighting. it has not been indicated whether any mderior lighting is to be provided on site. Any lighting used to Illuminate off4treet parking or outdoor storage areas must be hooded and directed to defied light away from adjacent properties and public rights-of-way. Signage. As a condition of CUP approval, all applicable City sign requirements must be satisfied. Grading and Dralnegs. As a condition of CUP approval, a grading and drainage plan must be submitted. Such plan will be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Noise. PZM District provisions (proposed) state that intermittent sounds produced by automobile maintenance facilities must not be audible to users of adjoining PZM or residential properties. The applicant will be required to provide lnfomraflon regarding proposed nolso mitigation efforts. Truk The site plan does not Indicate whether trash is to be stored outdoors. If a trash reoaptecto Is to be stored outside the principal structure, It must be screened from view of neighboring properties. Future Buliding Addition. The submitted site plan conceptually iltustratu a future= 1,200 square foot structure addition which would conned to the adjacerd easterly ear wash. It Is the desire of the applicant to use such addition for 'minor automobile repair' activities. Consideration of such addition relates dlreety to a deciaion regarding the 7-9 proposed Ordinance amendment to establish minor automobile repair facilities as conditional uses within the PZM District While staff holds some concern in regard to the inter" of such a use in the PZM District, an ultimate decision regarding land use appropriateness Is considered a policy matter to be determined by the City. CITY ACTION The applicant has submitted plans to construct a 1,352 square foot automobile maintenance facility with long range plans to construct a ± 1,200 square foot building addition in which 'minor automobile repair• activities would be conducted. DECISION ONE - PZM ZONING DISTRICT AMENDMENT - AUTOMOBILE MAINTENANCE FACILITIES Alternative A- Amendment Approval i n 10. Approval of the requested amendment would establish automobile maintenance facilties as conditional use in the PZM District. Provided various conditions are Implemented, it is the opinion of our office that such use can compatibly cadet in the P2M District It should be rated, however, that some question does exist In regard to a dear distinction between 'automobile malntonanoe facilities' and minor automobile repair. Should the City loose to approve the requested amendment, such action should be based on the following findings: The proposed amendment and resulting use is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan and goals and policies. 2. The proposed amendment and resulting use Is consistent with the general Intent of the zoning district purpose of the PZM District. Altemativo 8 - Amendment Denlel A second alternative available to the City would be to deny the requostod amendment to conditionally allow automobile malntonaroe facilities within PZM Districts. Such denial would also have the effect of denying the simultaneous CUP request as the mechanism to receive such CUP would not exist. 7-tz Should the City deny the requested amendment, it should be based upon the following findings: 1. The proposed amendment and resulting use is not consistent with the spirit and intent of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 2. The proposed amendment and resulting use is likely to have an adverse impact upon surrounding properties. 3. The proposed use is not consistent with the purpose of the PZM District.

Daveloper agrees that it will be responsible for any reconstruction or restoration in the event that the City needs to do drainage and utility work in the City's easement Altemative B - Conditional Use Permit Denial A second alternative available to the City would be to deny the requested conditional use perrrut_ dthe City chooses to deny the condtional use permit, it should be based upon the following findings: The proposed use Is not consistent with the spirit and Intent of the Monticello Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The proposed use is likely to have an adverse impact upon surrounding properties. DECISION THREE - PZM ZONING DISTRICT AMENDMENT - MINOR AUTOMOEIILE REPAIR Alternative A - Amendment Approval Approval of this request would establish minor automobile repair activities within the PZM Zoning District as a conditional use. It is the opinion of our office that such use lies in conflict with the purpose of the PZM District and is more appropriately provided for in busine n and industrial zoning designations. Should the City find that minor automobile usas are acceptable upon the subject property, we would suggest that the City consider a rezoning of the property rather then a PZM District amendment. 7 Alterfativo B-Amondntord DerilalPIo. n C C ,n nn r S S u I N e L C, A second option evailM to the City is to deny the arnendment request. If such action Is taken, it should be bawd on the same findings of dental for Decision One.

The Planning Commission reviewed the requests noted above and voted to recommend approval of the request to reduce the minimum lot size for homes in the R•2 district as noted under Decision 1, Alternative #1, in Steve Grittman's report. Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the simple subdivision request as noted under Decision 2, Alternative #1, in Steve Grittman's report. is NFNCNORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS COMMON I TY PLA N NINO - DESIGN - MARKET RESEARCH MEMORANDUM TO: Jeff O'Neill Monticello Planning Commission FROM: Stephen Grittman DATE: May 2, 19% RE: Monticello - Ron Ruff SubdivisiorvText Amendment FILE NO: 191.07 - 96.04 BACKGROUND Mr. Ronald Rufl has submitted a request which would propose a reduction in the minimum single family Id size for the R-2 Zoning District from 12,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet The R-2 District permits both single family and two family homes, currently both on 12,000 square foot lots. This amendment would affect only the lot size for single family. ANALYSIS_ Text Amendment For single farn4 homes, the R-2 District is most commonly applied to the original town plat to which the Ruff property adjoins. In this area, the great majority of lots are 66 feet by 165 feet, an area of 10,890 square feet. For the original plat area, it would be reasonable to consider a rodxtion in minimum lot area (as well as other lot standards) so as to avoid the problems created by norHmrdormities to a zoning standard which was designed for newly platted lands. The applicant's total property area consists of about 21,412 square feet. If the R-2 standard were reduced to 10,890, he would be about 370 square feet short of the area 9779 WAYZATA BOULEVARD. SUITE 988 ST, LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA 50416 PHONE 61 2.998.9636 FAX 6 12-505-08 37 B� 1 ,� d needed to create two conforming lots. Thus, the applicant has requested an amendment to 10,000 square feet. Another issue which this application raises is the zoning of the subject property, and the surrounding land. The R-2 Zoning designation ends at the Railroad to the north of the Ruff property, which is zoned PZM. As a result, a zoning issue would arise under the PZM District in which the City would have to determine the appropriate single family lot size standard to apply. The PZM District language lists no specific lot sizes, deferring to the district in which the use is permitted to define lot area. Since a single family use would infer either a 12,000 square foot standard, or less under a revise R-2 District, a conflict could arise. One possible resolution of this issue, presuming a lot size change is approved, would be to rezone this land (and perhaps adjacent lands in similar circumstances) to the R-2 District. Finally at issue is the appropriate lot size to consider, if it were to be reduced from the current 12,000 square foot minimum. Original plat lots consist of 10,890 square feet. Mr. Ruff would need a lot size of 10,700 to permit two lots on his current property, and has requested a standard of 10,000 square feet. We would suggest something less than the 10,890 threshold. It is not uncommon to find survey errors in old plat layouts which shave a few tenths of a foot off of the stated dimensions. We believe that 10,000 square feet would not be unreasonable. This standard would permit some flexibility in the use of previously platted land, but would not permit wholesale resubdivision resulting in a sudden increase in density. Subdivision With regard to Mr. Ruffs request for a subdivision of his land, his survey shows two lots, one of 12,243.99 square feet which contains the existing house and garage, and a second of 9,167.61 square feet which would front on Elm Street. If the lot area standards were reduced to 10,000 square feet, this lot would need to be increased in area by over 800 square feet. The current lot width standard is 80 feet, barring any changes to the R-2 standards. Were Mr. Ruff to increase the width of the proposed southern lot to 80 feet, it would result In a parcel of approximately 10,240 square feet, leaving 11,171 squafe feet for the northern parcel, and would retain a setback to the existing deck of more than 50 feet. With regard to Mr. Ruffs request to split the lot by simple subdivision, this is a policy Issue for the City. The land is technically unplatted land at this time. However, this request creates only one additional building site, and no further subdivision would be possible, with the exception of small land trades between the current neighboring owners to accommodate the confusing pattern of lot lines. We would recommend approval of the subdivision, subject to the following conditions: /0 --da (1) Amendment to the R-2 District reducing lot area for single family homes to 10,000 square feet. (2) Rezoning of this parcel, as well as adjoining original plat parcels to R-2 from the current PZM district. (3) Revision of the proposed subdivision to provide the minimum 80 feet of frontage on Elm Street. (4) Review by City staff for engineering, utility, or drainage issues and necessary easements. It is possible to proceed on the Ruff request without the rezoning occurring first The City could take a policy position for the purposes of this application that the R-2 single family lot size will be the standard applied to single family lots in the PZM District A subsequent rezoning of this land to R-2 would then remove PZM development constraints from a lot which is only able to be developed in a single family manner. Further issues that the City may wish to address would be possible adjustments to setbacks and other standards which apply to single family uses in R-2 Districts. The City has struggled with variance issues for past applicants in these situations. Any further changes would not be necessary Zo accommodate the Ruff request. Decision One The City must decide whether it will reduce the minimum lot size for single family homes in the R-2 District. Staff suggests that this is an appropriate proposal, considering that the R-2 District is intended to permit a slightly increased density, and that mid of the single family use in the R-2 is located in the original townsite plat on lots of 10,890 square feet. AlternativBA.- P I � � � - i b �r.na+ sa r �lcc/�qY nrir� Approval W the Zoning Text Amendment to reduce minimum lot sizes for single family uses only in the R-2 District from 12,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet. Approval of this alternative should be based upon a finding that the R-2 District in Intended to permit single family homes at a slightly higher density, and that much of the current R-2 District applies to single family homes on smaller lots. Alternative B. Denial of the Zoning Text Amendment to reduce minimum lot sizes for single family uses in the R-2 District. I D -11 C.4 Denial should be based upon a finding that the City believes that 12,100 square feet is the appropriate minimum size for single family lots, and that adequate controls and flexibility are in place in the Ordinances to accommodate the original town plat areas. Decision Two If the City approves the reduction in the R-2 District lot size, the applicant is requesting approval of a simple subdivision of his land under the new standards. Staff recommends approval, subject to conditions listed above on pages 2 and 3 of this report Alternative A. Approval of the proposed subdivision, subject to the four conditions fisted above, including the zoning amendment approval, rezoning to R-2, revision of the subdivision to create adequate width, and City staff review. This approval should be based on a finding that the subdivision is in conformance with all performance standards, and meets the City's goals as stated through its Comprehensive plan and Ordinances. Denial of the proposed subdivision. A Denial should be based on a finding that the subdivision results is not consistent with the City's standards (especially If no lot size amendment is approved), and that current non - conformities on the property should be Geared prior to additional development is approved for the area.

" f Exhibit D - Revised Subdivision I Council Agenda - 6/13/96 „ At the previous Council meeting, a public hearing was held concerning a possible ordinance amendment that would have allowed liquor license holders who had Sunday licenses to serve liquor as early as 10 a.m. rather than noon. As you may recall, it was noted that state statutes did allow cities to determine if we wanted to allow service earlier than noon after conducting a public hearing. The original request for amending the ordinance had come from the new owner of J.P.'s Annex, Mr. Rob Hoffman. Although there was not any public comment in opposition to the change, the Council decided to leave the ordinance as is, only allowing sales to occur after noon on Sundays. As some of you may remember, Mr. Hoffman of J.P.'s Annex did arrive at the Council meeting at approximately 7:30 and was surprised to find out that the ordinance amendment had already been discussed. Mr. Hoffman indicated to me later that he was under the impression that the Council meeting did not start until 7:30, and he apologized for his tardiness. Enclosed you will find a letter from Mr. HoRman requesting that the City Council reconsider a possible ordinance amendment to allow earlier sales on Sundays. Mr. Hoffman notes in his letter that he would be comfortable with a 10:30 a.m, start, and it should be noted that the Council could allow sales on Sunday as early as 10 a.m. but could choose another time if you desired. Council could confirm its original decision at the last meeting to leave the liquor ordinance as is with no sales occurring before noon on Sundays. Council could adopt an ordinance amendment allowing the sales to occur earlier than noon at any time so desired, but no earlier than 10 a.m. With no public comments received at the last public hearing, I do not know of any reason why amending the ordinance would be a problem if the Council chose to do so. I do believe Mr. Hof roan had intended to be at the last meeting and honestly felt the Council meeting started at 7:30. It really 16 Council Agenda • 6/13/96 becomes a Council decision and policy as to whether you feel it's appropriate to allow Sunday liquor sales before noon at any liquor establishment currently holding a license. I believe it would be difficult to adopt an ordinance that singled out a specific type of license holder as being the only one allowed to serve liquor earlier than noon; therefore, any ordinance amendment would have to apply to any qualified Sunday liquor license holder. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of letter from Mr. Hoffman. 65 Monticello City Council C/O Rick Wolfsteller, City Administrator Ladies and Gentlemen, I deeply regret and apologize for my tardiness to last Monday's City Council meeting. I was on the agenda requesting an extension of the City's existing Sunday liquor laws to mirror that which is currently carried by the state. l would like to resubmit this request. It is my intention to establish a neighborhood atmosphere for family oriented eating. This extension would allow eligible operations to provide an additional service to the area's patrons at 10:30 on Sundays. This ties in directly with Monticello's drive to increase traffic in the downtown business area by providing a more user friendly environment to those people who might be out and about shopping, coming back from church services, or merely looking for a full service establishment in which to enjoy the camaraderie of friends and the kinship of their families. My facility specializes in unique southwestern, Cajun and Caribbean dishes. We intend to further exploit these specialties while offering a Sunday brunch for the area's patrons. As 1 understand the state law, only restaurants, those establishments who possess full menu liscencing from the Minnesota Department of Health would be eligible to apply. A concern regarding this might be that establishments with liquor licenses who distribute packaged microwave sandwiches or frozen pizza's might also wish to be included in this extension. If this is indeed a concern, a stipulation similar to the original Sunday sale of 3.2 beer might be possible. In that ordinance, as I recall, only those operations that could prove roughly 50 percent of their business was derived from the sale of food were eligible for licensing. Another solution might be to stipulate that only those establishments operating a kitchen 7 days out the week would be allowed the extension. Again, my impetus in requesting this extension is to provide a full service establishment for downtown shoppers and local area families. I feel that in it's passing, we would provide the area's population with just one more reason to spend more time, and subsequently more money in our downtown establishments. Thank you for your time in reviewing my request. Sincerely, lr,�2 1- -, 1-� ' Robert Hoffman Owner, JP's Annex a14 Council Agenda - 6/13/96 HE., , : r: , , , �6- :G ., : rn : 4, , : , , r •. l: , ,., , r r With the recent annexation of the Hawke Sports Bar property in conjunction with the development of the River Mill subdivision, municipal sewer and water services were installed in the River Mill project, making sanitary sewer available for Hawks Bar. Prior to the annexation of the sports bar, expansion of the facility was not allowed by the OAA and Wright County due to the fact that the septic system needed upgrading. Likewise, an expansion of the sports bar would also not be allowed by the City unless the facility hooked up to city sewer. Joe and Theresa Abbott, owners of Hawks Bar, recently indicated they are ready to connect to our sewer system. Mr. Abbott is requesting Council consideration of establishing his hookup fee based on the 1996 rate of $1,200 per unit rather than the current $1,600 per unit because he felt the system was not available for him to connect last year even though he wanted to. Enclosed with the agenda is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. and Mrs. Abbott on November 6, 1996, advising them that sanitary sewer and water service was available as part of the River Mill development. The letter was sent specifically for the purpose of encouraging them to hook up as soon as possible in light of the fact that the City would be increasing its sewer access fees by $300 effective January 1, 1996. It is the Public Works Director's opinion and the City Administrator's opinion that the sanitary sewer system was available and that a connection could have been made last fall if desired. Based on the seating capacity of the sports bar, the sewer access charge amounts to 7 units for the 70 -seat facility, or $10,600 based on our current $1,600 per unit rate. If the 1996 rate was applied, the hookup fee would drop to $8,400, a $2,100 savings. In addition to the request for consideration of last year's fee, the Abbott's are also requesting to bo allowed to pay for Cho hookup foes over a number of years rather than in one lump sum. Normally, it's been the City policy that the hookup fees aro paid in full at the time of building permit application. Since this is an existing business, there may be some justification for allowing the hookup to be paid in installments over a number of years, although the Council should be aware that this same request could come from other property owners in the future. For example, there are a number of existing businesses that are likely to connect to our sower system in the future such as Olson & Sons Electric, Gould Brothers Chevrolet, D & D Bus Service, along with possibly others, that may also request similar treatment Council Agenda - 5/13/96 if it's granted for Hawks Bar. On the other hand, if an appropriate rate of interest such as 8% is charged on any unpaid balance, it may be feasible for the City to offer financing over 3-5 years for large hookup amounts. The concerns 1 have on establishing the access fee based on last year's hookup rate is the precedent it may set for other hookups in the future. I believe ample opportunity was available for Hawks to make the connection last fall and avoid the increased rate. Our policy in the past has been that unless the connection was made by the effective date of the new rate, the new rate would prevail. To change from that policy at this time could possibly set a precedent that we would have to address on other properties in the future. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Establish the sanitary sewer hookup rate at the current amount of $1,500 per unit and require the payment to be made in full at the time of connection. 2. Establish the rate at $1,500 per unit and offer to accept installment payments with interest over a 3-5 year time period. 010 1,w 6� e 3. Establish the fee at $1,200 per unit 11995 rate) as requested with the fee to be paid in full at the time of connection. 4. Establish the rate at $1,200 per unit (1995 rate) and allow the payment to be made over 3-5 years with interest. V- STAFF E .O F.NDATION: It is the recommendation of the City Administrator and Public Works Director that the current sewer access fee rate of $1,500 per unit be charged for the Hawks Sports Bar connection. This recommendation is based on the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Abbott were notified last fall that the system was available for connection and recommended it be done as soon as possible to avoid the higher fee. While there may be merit to offering installment payments for existing businesses that connect to the sewer, we aro concerned that, if allowed in this case, we would also have to allow it for other existing businesses in the future. From a practical standpoint, as long as the City was receiving a fair rate of interest on the hookup fee, them probably wouldn't be a problem with allowing installment payments to he made fnr existing businesses that hookup for the first time to our sanitary sewer system.

Existing properties such as yours have some options as to when hookup will take place. For those properties that have properly located and constructed wells with water quality meeting State of Minnesota Health Department safe drinking water standards, there is no requirement to hook up to city water. For municipal sewer service, however, it is mandatory that you hook up to the city sower system. City Ordinance Chapter 7, Section 2.3•B requires that you hook up to city sewer atter it becomes available. For those properties that have had past or current problems causing the system to function improperly, you have 30 days in which to make a connection. If your system is properly constructod according to city guidelines and continues to operate properly, you have a period of three years from the date of first availability (11/1/95) to hook up to municipal sower. It is unlawful to repair or pump the private system, without permission of the water and sower department of the city, after such time that the public sower system is accessible for the promises. /3# 11 Please note that the City will be increasing the sewer access fee by $300 effective January 1, 19%. For all hookups made after that date, the charge will increase from $1200 to $1500 ppr unit. The per unit charge for a restaurant with cocktail lounge is one (1) unit per 10 seats. Please contact city hall for more information on the access costs. If you have any questions concerning the fitness of your sewer system, you may contact me at Public Works, at 295-3170. ReWctfWly, CITY OFF MMON�T,ICCEELLLO John Simola Public Works Director enclosure cc: Matt Theisen, Water/Wastewater Superintendent Gary Anderson, Building Official File /36 Council Agenda - 6/13/96 T Council is asked to consider whether or not to renew the listing agreement with Edina Realty as established one year ago. It is my observation that Dale has been actively marketing the property through the various resources that he has at his disposal. He will be in attendance at the meeting to describe his activities in further detail. With the exception of the Bichler deal, the development has been progressing very well. As you know, the Bichler situation was caused in part because Florek did not have Bichler sign the covenants at the closing on the property. By and large, however, Florek has been doing a good job of processing the sales transactions, and no other serious problems have been encountered. On the whole, I am satisfied with how Florek has been doing. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: !Notion to renew listing with Edina Realty for the We of lots in the Eastwood Knoll subdivision. City Council should select this alternative if it's comfortable with the service provided by Dale Florek and Edina Realty. Motion to deny renewing the listing with Edina Realty. Council should select this alternative if it believes that not enough work has been done to market the properties or if it is not satisfied with the realtor's performance in processing lot sales. C STAFF F..O MFNDATION: 1 am satisfied with Dale Florek's performance. Although there have been a few glitches along the way, by and large the work done by Dale Florek and Edina Realty has been acceptable, The lots are selling on a fairly steady basis, and the homes that are being constructed aro at a value in a=mea of what was originally anticipated for the property. A very good development trend has been act for which Dale Florok should take some of the credit. I have o good feeling that people interested in buying property for the purpose of building their own home with city services in an upscale development are finding Eastwood Knoll and that sufficient marketing efforts have been undertaken to assure us that we are tapping the full potential of the market that we aro after.

Enclosed with the agenda is a copy of the first quarter liquor store financial report ending March 31. Liquor Store Manager Joe Hartman will be in attendance to review with the Council the report and to present a request for approval on repairing the face of our pylon sign at the liquor store. Some highlights of the first quarter report show that sales were up $44,000 over the same period last year, for approximately a 14% increase. The resulting gross profit was also up $17,000 from $73,482 last year to over $90,000 this year. With the expenses even decreasing slightly by $4,000 from last year, the operating income showed a healthy gain of $21,500 to a total of $45,288 for the first quarter. The operating income is the figure we want to focus on rather than the bottom line net income in that it reflects a better picture of the operations rather than including interest income. Overall, we are happy with the results and gross profit percentages the figures show for the first quarter with a 25.2% overall gross profit margin. This is above what we have experienced in the past and hope that it continues throughout the year. With Joe in attendance at this meeting, it appeared to be a good time for requesting approval to make some repairs to our pylon sign at the liquor store. The present sign has a black barn siding wood face, which is showing signs of wear. Joe had obtained some quotations last year for replacing the sign face with a polycarbonate (lexan) face that should be maintenance free in the future. One of the quotes received last year was from LeRoy Signs in the amount of $8,580. A second quote was obtained from DeMars Signs, Inc., of Coon Rapids at $2,110. Since we did not have this in the budget last year and it looked like we could wait a little while before proceeding with any repairs, we decided to wait until this spring and take another look at repairs. In discussing the low bid proposal from Demars Signs, they felt that they would have to make a change to their proposal, which would include removal of the sign face by bringing the sign to their shop for replacing with the lexan face. This added some cost to their proposal and increased their bid price to $2,791. It is still the recommendation of Joe and myself that the Council consider allowing DeMars Signs to replace the sign face with lexan for their bid of $2,791. Council Agenda - 5/13/96 As an additional note, you may be interested in knowing that the Assistant Manager, Wanda Goenner, has resigned effective May 4. Wanda was primarily the afternoon and weekend shift supervisor. In light of this resignation, Joe and I have revamped the job description slightly and feel that the appropriate title would better be suited as "Night/Weekend Supervisor' rather than Assistant Manager. The primary focus of this job is still to be the lead person for the afternoon shift to supervise the part-time employees and to be primarily responsible for evenings and weekend work when the Manager may be absent. In revising the job description, it appears that the grade and classification can be lowered slightly, which will reduce the payroll cost over the long haul. Joe may have additional information on applicants that have applied for the position and would be available to answer questions on the revisions we have proposed to the job description. Accept the financial report for the first quarter as presented and authorize repairs to the existing pylon sign at the quoted price of $2.791 with Demars Signs. Accept the financial report as presented and do not authorize sign refurbishing at this time. C STAFF F ,O MF.NDATION; It is the recommendation of Joe and myself that the report be accepted and the sign quote from DeMars Signs be approved for the reflirbishing. In the long run, I think the maintenance will be better with a lexan face rather than having to restain the wood surface of the present sign. As an added note, Joe is also looking at obtaining quotations for replacing the wood fascia material on the building with aluminum or vinyl to eliminate the constant need for restaining every 2-3 years. Right now the fascia is in need of paint or stain this summer, and it may be feasible to replace with metal or vinyl so that the entire building can be maintenance free.

Sinceroly, 7,�' , ark P54 Council Agenda - 6/13196 1 M..: „ 7, ,,Il: 7 1 I A few months ago, Council requested additional information on the present methods used to clean various public buildings for the purpose of determining whether we are at the stage of considering creating a janitorial position. In the past, the primary outside contract for cleaning services was mainly involved with city hall. The public library has used an individual for a number of years on a monthly payment agreement for their cleaning services. Other than these two agreements, other buildings were not thoroughly cleaned or were being handled by present City employees. With the recent expansion of the office, conference room, and lunch room facilities at the public works shop, and with the relocation of the deputy registrar services to the old fire hall building, staff' members obtained quotations from outside cleaning services to perform routine maintenance at these locations. The low quote was accepted from LEM Cleaning out of Big Lake to do daily cleaning at the new deputy registrar office and once -a -week cleaning at the public works facility. These two agreements total $661 per month for the services provided. Since 1978 when the new city hall was opened, we have contracted for daily cleaning with Preusse Cleaning Services of Monticello. The current contract amount for the general cleaning is $400 per month. As noted earlier, the public library has established an agreement with a retired individual, Mr. Jerry Hermes, for general janitorial services, which currently amounts to $466 per month. In the past, the fire hall has usually been a hit-and-miss cleaning on an as -needed basis for general carpet cleaning and other minor custodial services. Recently, the fire department has had an individual come in one day every other week for approximately 2.6 to 3 hours per time for $60 per month, which has helped keep ahead of any major cleaning problems. Other than the locations noted, the liquor store is the only other present public facility that is generally being cleaned during the workday by liquor store staff. The total contracts or monthly agreements amount to approximately $17,600 annually. In addition to this act amount, additional expenditures may be made for occasional services such as professional carpet cleaning at various locations. In a survey requested of various department and building managers, I had requested an estimate of the number of hours cleaning services were conducted and the type of cleaning that was being performed. The summary of the information provided is enclosed for your review which, when totaled, indicates that over 2,300 hours annually is now needed to 23 Council Agenda - 6113/96 perform the cleaning functions at the various buildings. If the amount of time spent is anywhere near accurate, it seems to indicate that more than a full-time person would be required with 2,080 hours being considered full- time equivalent. In addition, the hours needed to clean at each building does not include any travel time that would be necessary if one individual was required to clean at all locations. While there may be ways of reducing the number of hours that are presently spent at each location, it appears that we'd either need to cut back the amount of janitorial services being provided or would be looking at more than a full-time equivalent position. With the possibility of a new City position being created, a job description was created, along with a review of the position as far as comparable worth was concerned. Based on our present wage system, the minimum aalary for a full-time position would be $8.63 per hour, or $17,950 annually. Thia is very close to the amount we are currently spending for contract services. The above amount does not include any additional fringe benefit costs for such items as health insurance coverage, vacation or sick leave benefits, workman's comp insurance, or other employee -related costs. Depending on the individual hired, these additional fringe benefits could add between 25% and 46'% to the cost of creating this position. In reviewing our current procedures, it appears the City has a number of choices that could be taken regarding janitorial services. 1. Eliminate the various contract and service agreements and hire one new full-time employee. 2. Leave the library position as is and hire a part-time employee for the other locations. 3. Obtain quotes/bids from one cleaning service to do all of the buildings in the hopes of receiving a better price from one service rather than splitting contracts. 4. Leave as is. While it may appear that we are at the stage where a full-time janitor position is warranted, Council should be aware of the additional cost that would go with creating another position. Under our present arrangements with cleaning services, most cleaning supplies, along with equipmomt such as vacuum cleaners, mops, and other equipment, are provided by LRdal Cleaning and Prousso Cleaning. For those locations that currently do not have vacuum cleaners and other tools, they would have to be purchased and left at each location or be transported by the employee to the various job sites. This brings up another issue as to whether the employee would supply his own 24 Council Agenda - 5/13/96 vehicle for commuting between the sites and transporting supplies and equipment or whether the City would need to provide a vehicle for this position. Although there appears to be more than full-time work necessary, it would not normally be the typical 8 - 4:30 position in that most of the cleaning would have to be done after the offices were closed or before they opened in the morning. While an exception could be made for the library, which has varied hours, and it may be possible to arrange daytime cleaning hours at the public works buildings, deputy registrar and city hall would normally require cleaning to be done before 7 a.m. or after 5 p.m. daily. Another issue that would need to be covered with a City employee is who will cover for sick leave or vacation. With outside contract arrangements, it is their problem to find someone to fill in when an employee is sick or takes time off. With our own employee, it would be our responsibility to find a replacement to cover. Also, unless hours are cut back from what department managers indicate is now being performed, we would likely be requiring hours of overtime to complete the work at all locations by one individual. The estimated 2,300+ hours would also be increased to allow for travel time between each location. If the City continued to use outside cleaning services for various buildings, it may be beneficial to request bids from various'services to do all of the City buildings under one contract. Under this arrangement, it's possible that the City could obtain a better price from one service if they knew they had a larger amount of work to perform. For example, 1 assume some of the coat for cleaning even 44 hour at a specific location has to do with a reasonable minimum charge that someone would quote if required to perform this service daily. If a service knew it had a number of locations to work at in Monticello, we might benefit from the volume standpoint. During the preparation of this item, I met with Ken and Linda Meyer, owners of LKM Cleaning, regarding the idea of receiving a quote for cleaning city hall, public works buildings, deputy registrar, and the library. They indicated a strong interest in putting together a proposal that would provide for cleaning all four locations on a 2 -year contract basis that would include a specified number of floor stripping and waxing, file polishing, and carpet shampooing as part of the contract amount. A proposal should be included with this agenda, but they indicated in advance that they would be able to provide this service for $1,500 per month during the first year of the contract. Possibly during the second year, they would ask for an increase of approximately $100 per month. Although I haven't received the proposal at the time I am preparing this item, it appears to be in the range that we aro currently spending for cleaning services at all of the above locations and also includes items that are typically extras above our present arrangements. For example, shampooing 25 Council Agenda - 6/13/96 of the carpet, stripping and waxing floors are usually an extra charge, although I'm not sure what arrangement we are presently using at the library for these services. In addition, staying with a contract arrangement would eliminate the need for the City to purchase any additional equipment or supplies, as they would all be provided by the contract service. Another alternative to consider would be to leave the library service provided by Jerry Hermes as is and investigate hiring a part-time employee to cover the other locations. Under a part-time arrangement, the fringe benefits are usually not as high of a percentage because health insurance is not typically provided to an employee. For example, if a parttime employee was used for the deputy registrar, city hall, and public works buildings, it is estimated it would require 80-90 hours per month to perform the cleaning. This would amount to approximately $7,600 to $8,000 in wages, with another 16'% or so added for fringe benefits without health insurance. This would compare to our current contract amounts of approximately $11,600 annually. In addition, with any employee, we would have to resolve whether this position would be required to use their own vehicle or whether the City would provide one for their needs. Depending on the equipment that would be required to be transported between sites, it could have an effect on the type of vehicle that would be needed. When adding together the cost of transportation, ftinge benefits, and our current comparable worth pay structure for employees, I don't think we will find it more economical to have our own employee versus contracting at this time. Approve the job description creating a janitor position and authorize advertising for the position. Under this alternative, we would have to attempt to cut back on the frequency of cleaning at some of the building locations to keep the hours at approximately 2,080 annually, including travel time. Approve the job description for a janitor position and authorize the hiring of a part-time individual. Under this option, we could utilize the part limo individual for some of the locations such as the deputy registrar office, city hall, and public works buildings, and continuo to utilize the services of Mr. Jerry Hermes at the library. Request proposals from cleaning services for an overall agreement for covering all of the locations in an attempt to got a better price. 26 Council Agenda - 6/13/96 Assuming that a cleaning contract proposal was submitted by LKM Cleaning for all four city locations, the Council could consider entering into an agreement with LKM Cleaning or seek additional proposals from other cleaning services. Leave the present arrangements as they exist or modify a specific location as desired. C. STIFF R_F.COMMENDATION: After reviewing the hours that are needed for cleaning services at the various buildings, my first thought was that we may have reached the point where it would be economical to have our own full-time employee. I believe the problem would be that a City employee will eventually cost more than contract arrangements when factoring in fringe benefits, vehicle mileage or the purchase of a vehicle, and the other issues relating to who covers when the employee is absent. In addition, it appears that we may already have exceeded the capabilities of a frill -time employee unless the information provided by the department heads is inaccurate. There may be some merit in attempting to contract with one firm for all of the locations, which could save some money. When you factor in the travel time between locations and coffee breaks in the morning and afternoon, and the requirement that some locations would need cleaning services before the offices are open or after they are closed, Pm not convinced that an additional employee is the answer at this time. I would recommend that we continuo to utilize contract cleaning service agreements and would recommend that the idea of using one service for all building locations be considered. The assumed proposal from LKM Cleaning in the amount of $1,600 per month appears to be in line with our current expenditures, although the Council could look at this approach for city hall, deputy registrar, and public works buildings, and leave the library as is.

(C.S., J.S., J.O. ) A REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: After additional preparation and inclusion of a full equipment list, we are asking the City Council to reconsider purchasing 2 personal computers and a printer as provided in the 1996 data processing budget. We are proposing to purchase two computers and an inkjet color printer. The second (laser) printer is no longer needed because one was acquired at no charge as part of a package deal on used furniture for the future WWTP admiiniatration building. One of the personal computers would be setup for Matt Theisen, Water/Sewer Collection Superintendent. The Meter Master software was purchased so that the City could better monitor water usage. However, the completed version of the software requires a computer with more capability than the one Matt currently uses. In order to make beat use of his time and the monitoring equipment used by the Water Department, money was budgeted to update to a personal computer which would meet the requirements of the software. Also, it is planned to install a simple computer-aided drafting (CAD) software package on MatCs computer for the coming year. Construction Inspector'Pom Bose would be utilizing this software for some of his work. The Toshiba P321 printer that Matt currently uses will need to be replaced. Toshiba no longer manufactures this lino of printers and, therefore, has not maintained the printer drivers necessary to operate in a Windows operating environment. Also, the Toshiba printers do not print sideways (landscape), can only print black and white, and the largest print size is 8W width. In order to print the detail graphs and drawings which will be produced by the Meter Master and CAD software packages, it is proposed that a color inkjet printer be purchased to replace the Toshiba. The one we have in mind is an Epson Stylus Pro XL which can print in color up to 11" X 17" and can handle landscape printing. The City also acquired a color graphics plotter in the package deal for the used furniture. This piece of equipment is outdated, and Howlett -Packard does not support it any more. However, if the plotter is operational and we can find supplies, we would try to utilize the plotter for specialized, large -size drawings such as produced by a CAD system. In the case that the plotter is usable, we could then purchase a less expensive inkjet printer for general use by Matt and Tom instead of the Epson Stylus printer. Such a printer would be similar to the HP Deskjet 855C printers which were purchased last fall for Jeff and 011ie at city hall. City Council Agenda - 5/13/96 The other personal computer will be set up for Beth Green, public works receptionist/secretary. This will enable her to support all of the programs that will be used at Public Works and will enhance the speed and storage capabilities that she needs and that a more powerful computer would offer. The Hewlett-Packard laser printer that was acquired with the used furniture has been connected to Beth's and Roger Mack's computers and is already in use. The capabilities of this printer provide a vast improvement over the dot matrix printer that was used previously. We plan to transfer the computer Beth is using to Economic Development Director 011ie Koropchak. 011ie is still using one of the original personal computers which does not have the capability to run in a Windows environment. It would be desirable to match her system with the rest of the city, and this could be accomplished by switching computers. Also, 011ie would then be able to produce spreadsheets on her computer which can be used for tracking the status of new development and for year end reporting. R ALTFRNATIVE ACTION : Approve the purchase of 2 personal computers at the coat of $4,311 and the purchase of a color inkjet printer. If the color graphics plotter is operational, the cost of a printer would be approximately $550. If the plotter is not usable, the cost of an Epson Stylus Pro XL color inkjet printer is $1,688. (Tax and shipping will be added to these prices.) There is $7,600 in the data processing budget for computers and printers. This option should be selected if City Council agrees that the City should update their computer hardware. Generally, computer software that we use dictates the equipment that will be required. When a decision is made to purchase now or updated software (such as Motor Master), more powerful hardware may be required than what is being used. As users, we attempt to select the hardware that is available to meet the requirements of the software and to serve the needs of the city for as long as possible. The computers that we aro proposing are anticipated to serve Matt's and Beth's needs for at least the next 6 years. Deny the purchase of any now computer equipment. This option should be selected if City Council does not feel it is necessary to purchase additional computer hardware at this time. 30 City Council Agenda - 6/13/86 C_ RT FF F, .p F.NDATION: City staff recommends alternative #1 to purchase 2 new computers and a printer for public works. By updating the equipment at the public works building, the staff should be able to operate much more efficiently. Involved in the selection process were John Simola, Matt Theisen, Tom Bose, and Beth Green from Public Works and Jeff O'Neill, Cathy Shuman, and Karen Doty from City Hall. All are in full support of this recommendation.

J. 13Ji D.:V— Print Speeds and Cost per Page A typical User who uses a service bureau ears S20 - S40 per page and waits overnight for their prints. Add on top of this the time to drive to and from the service bureau. The prints the customer receives ate usually done on a digital color copier (Canon CLC copier with a EFI Fiery controller). The color matching on these printers is usually poor and can drift from print to print Some service bureaus use dye sublimation printers (i.e. Tektronix) that produce high quality prints but the costs are on the high end of the scale. When. checking the price for output from a local Los Angeles supplier we discovered the following: CLC with Fiery $20 par image for the fiat page 53.00 for additional topics of the tame page, letter or H sire.

As you may be aware, the Monticello Community Partners Promotion Committee is currently in the process of promoting the "Catch the Wave" theme as part of the downtown revitalization program and is ordering 10,000 numbered buttons to be sold at $5 each for potential awards and prizes. The program will be used by downtown merchants in a number of ways, including the possibility of direct prizes being drawn by button numbers or using the button as a method of receiving a discount on merchandise, etc. In order to conduct what the State considers a gambling operation, the MCP needs to apply for an exemption from the gambling license requirements that a non-profit organization is allowed to conduct provided the activity has less than $50,000 in prizes during a calendar year. In order for the MCP to apply for the license, a resolution from the City is required authorizing the license to be issued. In addition, the City Council can waive the 30 -day notice requirement by resolution allowing the State to issue a license as soon as possible. With the MCP hoping to begin button sales in the next few weeks, they have requested Council approval of allowing them to do so and agreeing to waive the 30 -day requirement so that the State will issue the license anon. The MCP hopes to sell the buttons as part of the pathway promotion beginning in the next two weeks. 1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the State to issue the license and waiving the 30 -day requirement. 2. Do not approve the resolution. The staff can see no reason why the Council would not want to support the MCP's request for this exemption from the gambling license regulations. It is recommended that the Council simply adopt a resolution authorizing the State to issue the license and agreeing to waive the 30 -day time period. Copy of resolution. RESOLUTION 96. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF A GAMBLING LICENSE ESF24PTIONS WHEREAS, the Monticello Community Partners has submitted an application to the City Council of Monticello for issuance of a charitable gambling license to conduct a raffle; and WHEREAS, upon review of the organization's activities, the Council is not opposed to the gambling license being issued by the State Gambling Control Board; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the Monticello Community Partners' application for a license issuance listed above is hereby approved, and the State Gambling Control Board is authorized to process the application. BE LT ALSO RESOLVED by the City Council that the 30 -day waiting period is hereby agreed to be waived for this license request. Adopted by the City Council this 13th day of May, 1996. Mayor City Administrator COUNC1lL UPDATE May 7, 1998 ,.. e.. , I :I .,, • Following is some information on the manner in which City staff is proceeding on implementation of the trunk storm sewer fee as it applies to various properties at various stages in development. As with any new policy, questions arise as implementation begins. Following are strategies that City staff is employing in administering the program in response to questions regarding implementation. Please review these strategies and provide staff feedback if you feel the strategies are not consistent with what Council would view as proper policy. STORM SEWER FEE COST PER ACRE I was not in attendance when the storm sewer fee program was adopted, but I understand that the program was well accepted and there was not a lot of discussion on the topic. Council may not have been completely aware that the cost per acre for storm sewer trunk fees is in the neighborhood of $5,000 per acre. For a company like Tappers, Inc. with over 8 acres of land, the trunk storm sewer fee amounts to $33,000. Staff remains comfortable with the fee amount due to the fact that the fee structure accurately reflects the actual cost per acre to provide trunk storm sewer service; however, we also want to make sure that we are creative and flexible when employing the storm water fee so that we do not unduly impact projects already underway or impact projects with financing programs already in place. Our goal is to create the best of both worlds where we are able to acquire the necessary storm water trunk fees without creating financial hardships for commercial and industrial developments now in the pipeline. In light of this goal, we have tentatively established the following guidelines for implementation of the trunk storm sewer policy. Please note that this is an interim policy, and that the original intent of the policy remains, which is to require that the trunk storm sewer fees be paid upfront with the building permit. We feel that some flexibility needs to be brought into the system to soften the impact of the new fee. Following are three general categories of businesses at different stages of development. Businesses in this category would include those that aro in the early stages of project development. This would include Mike's Custom Paints and any other business expansion or new business that comes through the door. For KN)aMSEXUF'a: AnAIR Page 1 businesses in this category, the City will be providing a notice of the trunk storm sewer fee program to enable the business to incorporate this fee into their financing plans. These businesses will pay when they pick up a building permit. Businesses in this situation would include Tappers, Inc. and WIHA. These are business expansion projects limited by a fixed finance plan that may not be able to absorb a large trunk storm sewer fee. To buffer the impact of this fee, City staff is offering a deferral of the fee for a 3 -year period or until a building expansion occurs, whichever is sooner. The fee will be paid on annual equal payments for a period of 5 years. The fee can be adjusted upward if the trunk storm sewer fee is increased. Under this option, industrial sites and commercial sites that are now in the pipeline will be able to absorb the added cost of the new fee. Businesses in this category include those that are in the pipeline that do not have an opportunity or have limited opportunity to expand which limits our ability to collect the fee in exchange for a building permit at some point in the future. This group would include Value Plus Homes and the Pipeline Supply Company, Mielke Oil, and others. For businesses in this category, in exchange for an occupancy permit, we would require payment of the trunk storm sewer fee in equal installments over a 5 -year period and an agreement to allow the City to assess the cost against the property if the fee is not paid, with the builder allowing the fee to be levied as requosted as an assessment if not paid. As an alternative, the fee could be spread against adjacent undeveloped areas to be paid at such time that future development occurs. This situation applies to the Kant -Sing project. If Council has significant questions or problems with the general guidelines that staff is following today, please let us know, and we will place this item on the formal Council agenda at an upcoming meeting. aT111lM4hV.U1'n; NTM Page 2 COUNCU. UPDATE May 2, 1988 .5C: •Mat„ ■. At the previous meeting, the Council was presented with background information on the status of re-establishing a 20 -ft access easement from Locust Street to the Post Office property. It was noted that the original 12 -ft easement was to be relocated to the middle of the Metcalf and Larson property's parking lot through a development agreement between the HRA and Metcalf and Larson. It was noted that an actual easement had not been obtained as required by the agreement, and the Council requested that the HRA fust contact Metcalf and Larson to see if they would provide the easement that was originally agreed to. This update is to simply inform the Council that the HM, at their meeting Wednesday, May 1, chose to not pursue enforcement of their development agreement at this time and will not be requesting Metcalf and Larson to provide the easement. It continues to be their opinion that the HRA and the City should not be involved in this access dispute and that it simply should be an issue to be negotiated between the Post Office landowner and Metcalf and Larson. In regard to the Council's decision to offer the Hass property to the owner of the Post Office property, I have contacted Mr. Charles Ehlen of the Cinco Corporation and offered to make available the Hass property for $30,000. 1 am waiting for a response as to their level of interest and/or a counteroffer if one is proposed. I will keep you informed of any progress regarding a potential sale of this parcel.
