distributed to the Council for the purpose of completing the evaluation process for
the City Administrator. In addition, he requested that the City Council receive
copies of employee evaluations for their review. Councilmernber Bruce Thielen

Council Minutes - 12/14/98
Mr. Sandberg then stated that he felt the information submitted to the HRA and
City Council regarding community center expenses to date was inaccurate and
that they might have voted differently if the information had been correct. It was
his view that the expenses were portrayed as being unable to recuperate if the
project was stopped. He cited the $1 million in expenses by Donlar Contractors,
prior to the contract being signed or work performed; $400,000 in site acquisition;
bond fees; and $50,000 original buyout.
City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller responded that he had received a letter from
Donlar which stated their estimate of cost to date if the project was stopped. It
was the opinion of the City Attorney that the day the bids were reviewed and
accepted was the day the City actually had a contract with Donlar.
Mr. Sandberg continued his comments by stating that the Mayor owed an apology
to Councilmembers Stumpf and 1-lerbst, the Concerned Citizens of Monticello, as
well as himself for false information contained in the Mayor's November letter to
the public regarding the community center issue. In addition, he requested full
information from the City Administrator regarding the community center
expenses to date.
B. Mr. Scott Douglas reported to the Cotu~:cil that at previous meetings, it had been
stated that the State would step in with additional state aid in the event NSP's
taxes were decreased; however, he informed Council of a newspaper article which
stated that Anderson Windows and the City of Bayport were left to work out an
agreement without additional aid from the State.
C. Mr. Dan Goeman submitted a letter to the City Council requesting that the
Southwest Area Plan remain in place as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan
and not be removed from the joint City/Township agreement as requested by the
MOAA Board.

7. Public Hearin -- n i ration of resolution orderin = lans ands ecifications--Trunk
Highway 25 Project.
City Engineer Bret Weiss reported that along with the improvements to Trunk
Highway 25 from I-94 to Kjellbergs Mobile I-1ome Park are numerous city improvements,
including Oakwood Drive, School Boulevard, Chelsea Road., and Dundas Road. The
Trunk Highway 25 improvement also includes numerous trunk and lateral sanitary sewer,
water main, and storm. sewer improvements. The City will be responsible for local costs
as part of the Highway 25 improvement through a cooperative agreement with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). A portion of these costs is
assessable to adjacent property owners.
Page 3
Council Minutes - 12/14/98
Mr. Weiss reviewed the construction cost summary, noting that the project cost has
increased from $2 million to approximately $4.8 million due to right-of--way and storm
sewer. The storm sewer increases are due to the method ofcost-sharing by Mn/DOT and
an increase in the unit price, and options and alternative designs for reducing the storm
sewer costs with Mn/DOT are being reviewed. He noted that Mn/DOT is making a
significant contribution of approximately $5 million to the project, including the ramping
praject. ",he McDonald's/SuperAmerica access/new service drive was included in the
plan per Council direction, at a cost of approximately $80,000, of which $27,000 is
assessable to McDonalds, SuperAmerica, and Hoglund Bus Company.
Mayor Bill 1{ air opened the public hearing.
Mr. Mike Murphy, attorney representing Oxboro Development Company/Wendy's
Restaurant, objected to the plan of closing access to West Oakwood Urive from
Highway 25, which he stated has caused injury to the value of the property.
Mr. Larry Martin, attorney representing SuperAmerica and McDonalds, stated concerns
regarding the installation of a median in front of the McDanalds property. He noted that
the easement on the easterly side of the site for the proposed service drive was too narrow
for traffic and was not felt to be a workable alternative. In addition, it was felt a
significant amount of traffic would cross the SuperAmerica parcel. He requested that
Council consider a layout prepared by the engineering firm RLK, which would not
require a median if East Oakwood Drive was constructed with two right-hand turn. lanes
onto 1-.highway 25 toward the 1-94 exit and a third lane for left-hand movement. This
layout would eliminate significant damage to the McDonalds and SuperAmerica
properties. fIe added that they would agree to have the median installed in the future
should it be needed. In addition, he noted that extension of Cedar Street was necessary if
the median is installed to mitigate the damage done to the McDonalds and SuperAmerica
properties.
The City Engineer noted that Mn/DOT wants the median installed and that there are still
quite a few parcels in the area to be developed. Chuck Rickert of WSB & Associates
added that the greatest concern with two right lanes turning onto Highway 25 is the vast
majority of traffic trying to get back onto h-94, which would create weaving of traffic.
Mr. Dan Mielke, owner of Ultra Lube, stated that numerous properties will be accessed
from the rear on Chelsea Road and that it would be preferable not to have a median block
access from Highway 25 to the front of the businesses.
Mr. Jay Morrell, owner of the building occupied by Goodyear Tire, suggested that the
City consider extending Chelsea Road to Marvin Road at this time in order to give easier
access to trucks, heavy equipment, and trailers to Royal Tire and the storage units. City
Engineer Bret Weiss responded that the extension of Chelsea Road is currently being
studied and will likely be completed in conjunction with this project.

Council Minutes - 12/] 4/98
The manager of McDonalds noted his opposition to installation of a mediaa~ on fast
Oakwood Drive. He stated he has never seen traffic back up onto Highway 25 from
McDonalds and that if the road is changed to a cul-de-sac, traffic in the area will lessen.
Mr. Larry Martin, attorney for McDonalds and SuperAmerica, added that it would
become a legal issue if the City tried to expand the easement in order to convert it into a
main access. City Administrator Rick Wolfsteller reported that it was his assLimption that
the easement was granted to provide access to the landlocked parcel behind McUonalds.
Mr. Glen Posusta, owner of Amax Storage, asked why there would be no south exit onto
I-lighway 25 from Dundas Road, with traffic funneled onto Chelsea. The City Engineer
responded that Mn/DOT would not allow a full intersection at Dundas Road and
Highway 25; however, in the future Cedar Street will give access to the south.
There being no further comments from the public, Mayor Fair closed the public hearing.
City Engineer Bret Weiss noted that negotiations with Mn/DOT are in progress and
asked that Council order the project and accept the proposed layout, with approval of
.final plans taking place in January or February.

Ado tion Hearin --Consideration of resolution ado tin 1999 bud et and. tax lev .
The 1999 tax levy was proposed at $4,617,725; which would result in an estimated l $.9%
increase in dollars to be collected over the 1998 tax levy. Approximately 4.3% of the
increase is related to the non-debt portion of the budget, and 14.6% relates to the amount
necessary to cover debt obligations.
Mayor Fair requested that the City Council reconsider adding $50,000 back into the
budget for industrial land acquisition, which was cut from $75,000 to $25,000 during
budget workshops. It was noted that during previous discussions, it was felt that reserves
could be used for industrial prospects if necessary.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY BILL FAIR TO ADD $50,000 TO TIME BUDGE'T' FOR
INDUSTRIAL LAND ACQUISITION. Motion died for lack of a second.

A 5-MINUTE RECESS. Motion carried unanimously.
11. Consideration of traffic si nal im rovements at the intersection of Hi hwa 25 and
County Road 75.
Public Works Director John Simola reported that the City has been discussing with
Wright County and Mn/DOT possible improvements to the signal system at "Trunk
I lighway 25 and County Road 75 in order to make left-hand turns safer.
The first option would add a green arrow in the left turn lane but would triple the
intersection delays and was not considered to be feasible. The second option called for
adding a green arrow and green ball so that westbound County Road 75 left turns would
go first, then terminate while eastbound left turns had the right-of--way. 1-Iowever, this
option would double the traffic delay and was also not considered to be a feasible
alternative. 'T'he third option, which was recommended by the Public Works Director,
Mn/DO 1", and the Wright County klighway Department, would designate a left turn lane
and combination right turn lane/thru lane on eastbound. County Road 75, with no changes
Page 6
Council Minutes - 12/14/9$
in parking. Westbound County Road 75 would have a designated left turn lane, one thru
lane, and a designated right turn lane. This option, however, would prohibit parking on
the north side of County Road 75 between Highway 25 and Cedar Street and would
involve removal of the node and a loss of approximately six parking spaces.
The Public Works Director requested Council approval for a public information meeting
to be held in January for property owners along County Road 75.
A MO'I"ION WA5 MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF AND SECONDED BY CUNT HERBST TO
SE.L)/C'I' OPTION #3 FOR FUR'I"HER STUDY AS RECOMMENDED BY MN/DOT AND
WRIGH'[' COUNTY, AND TO REQUEST ADDITIONAL, INFORMA'T'ION AND LAYOUTS

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING TO BE FIELD JANCJARY 25, 1999, AT 6 P.M., AND
NO'I"IFY AREA BUSINESSES WHO WOULD BF., AFFECTED BY 'T'HE LOSS OF PARKING.
Councilmember Roger Carlson noted his objection to option #3 in that it would bring
traffic closer to the sidewalk and would ruin the aesthetics on Broadway in order to
accommodate Highway 25. He suggested that the City wait until Highway 25
improvements are complete prior to making changes to County Road 75.
Voting in favor: Brian Stumpf, Clint Herbst, Bruce Thielen, Bill Fair. Opposed: Roger
Carlson. Matian carried.
12. Consideration of etiti n from residents for traffic control and enforcements in the
Meadow Oak and Oak Ridg~.subdivision.
Public Works Director John Simola reported that the City recently received a 122-
signature petition from Sara Watters, a resident in the Oak Ridge subdivision, requesting
various traffic improvements in the area of Oak Ridge Drive and. Meadow Oak Drive to
reduce and slow down traffic. After reviewing the request, the public works department
placed "Slow--Children" signs, which will eventually be replaced with "Caution--
Children at Play" signs; installed three of the five stop signs requested; and contacted the
Wright County Sheriff's Department to request additional enforcement of traffic
regulations in the area. They noted they would also monitor speeds by placing the speed
limit trailer in the area.
Ms. Sara Watters noted that the neighborhood felt their situation was unique in that
residents and trucks cut through the neighborhood from County Road 11$ to I-94. City
Engineer Bret Weiss suggested that in the spring, a traffic counting system could be set
up to differentiate between trucks and cars and to record speeds to help justify the
neighborhood's concerns.

Public Works Director John Simola reported that one bid was received for the emergency
generator for Project 98-24C, the booster pump station for the Wildwood Ridge
subdivision and surrounding area. Ziegler Inc. submitted the bid at an amount of
$39,071.66. Total cost is $41,500, including the City providing its own cord connections.

Public Works Director John Simola reported that the 1984 Dodge pickup currently used
by PSG at the treatment plant for plowing snow, moving equipment, removing pumps
and equipment from tanks with a crane, pickup of materials, as well as general
transportation, is badly rusted, has some mechanical problems, and the crane is
inoperable. Three bids were received, with the low bid at $23,578.57 from Monticello
Ford. In addition, quotes were obtained for a new snowplow from Crysteel Truck
Equipment for $4,537.52 and a 2,000 lb crane for $3,824.42 for a total of $8,361.94.

15. Consideration of urchasin the Daniel James ro ert at 1705 Count Road 39 ad~acent
to the Cit~s_biasolids facility.
Public Works Director John Simola reported that the City previously purchased a ] 58-
acre farm on County Road 39 for biosolids application from the City's wastewater
treatment plant. The two-acre Daniel James property is located on the north property line
on County Road 39 and is centered in the City's property and surrounded on three sides
by the biosolids facility. Mr. James inquired. as to whether the City would be interested
in purchasing his home for $145,000, indicating he may have difficulty selling it due to
the biosolids applications. The Public Works Director also informed Council that the
City could be required to fence the 2-acre site or test the drinking water.
'The City obtained an appraisal of the James property, which indicated a value of
$140,099 using the cost approach and $143,743 using the sales comparison approach. In
addition, the appraiser noted that there may be some minor resistance in the market
resulting from the proximity to the biosolids sewage site. Funds in the amount of
$143,743 were allocated in the sewer access fund budget for 1999, and it was estimated
that the City could rent the home for about $900 per month.
Councilmember Clint Herbst suggested that, if the City was going to purchase land, they
should purchase industrial land rather than residential property.
Mr. Daniel James stated that when he purchased the house, he was supposed to have the
opportunity to buy additional land; however, the City purchased the surrounding acreage
before he ~~~as given that opportunity. It was his view that the City should have purchased
his home at the same time.
A MO'I'lON WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMI')~' AND SECONDED BY CIaINT HERBS"h `TU

17. Consideration of a request for an amendment,to a conditional use permt,_PL ,D within the
PZM z nin district and amendments to 1 Iart Boulevard street vacation boundaries.
A licant Monticello-Bi Lake Communit 1-los ital District.
Deputy City Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that the Monticello-Big Lake
Community 1-lospital [)istrict is requesting approval of an amendment to their planned
unit development (PUD) which would alter the street vacation pattern along the west
portion of Dart Boulevard from the proposed Hospital entrance to the Dental Clinic
property. To accommodate the change, the f-Iospital's entrance canopy, already under
construction, would violate front yard setbacks and require a variance.
Under the original PLJD, the Iospital was required to obtain written agreements from all
parcels affected by the street vacation accepting access easements from the Iospital in
Lieu of public street frontage; however, the Hospital obtained permits from the City to
begin grading and. foundation construction even though they had been unable to obtain
such an agreement from the Dental Clinic. In response, the City required the Hospital to
provide an indemnification to the City in the event of litigation initiated by the Dental
Clinic. This requirement has been unacceptable to the I-Iospital District, resulting in the
right-of=way issue being left unresolved.
'Co resolve the Dental Clinic access issue, the Hospital is now requesting a revision to its
vacation request which would leave the Hart Boulevard right-of--way in place from the
new Hospital entrance drive to the Dental Clinic, resulting in an island of public street.
In addition, they are asking for approval of a dedication of the proposed entrance to
County Road 75 as a city street, which would provide the connection to Hart Boulevard.
Under this revised. proposal, the entrance canopy would encroach to the edge of the right-
of--way, and the City is being asked to waive its setback standards from the required 30 ft
to 0 ft; however, the City would still require a maintenance agreement for this portion of
street and an indemnification against claims which are based on inadequate design or
maintenance since the remaining portion of Hart Boulevard would not be built to city
standards, and the Hospital will assume responsibilities for maintaining it as if it were a
private driveway. Additional indemnification would be needed since the helipad would
now be located on public right-of way.
At their December 1 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
PUD, vacation, and variance request as proposed. No appeal to the variance had been
received; therefore, the Planning Commission's recommendation stands as approved.
The City Council members noted that, although in Favor of the Hospital's expansion
plans, the Hospital should have indemnified the City from lawsuits prior to moving
forward with the project and should follow the proper procedure in the future.

Council Minutes - 12/14/98
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MAUL BY GLINT HFRBST AND SECONDED BY
BILL FAIR TO APPROVE, ~hHE PUD AMENDMENT ALTERING "THE FLAN FOR
VACATION ANU STREET DEDICATION ON TI IE HOSPI"I'AL CAMPUS SUBJECT TO
T1IE I~'OLLOWTNG:
A MAINTENANCE., AGREEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR DESIGN
AND MAINTENANCE OF THE KEMAINING RIGHT-OF-WAY.
2. INDEMNIFICATION FOR HA7_ARDS ASSOCIATED WITH OPERATION
OF A HELIPAD ON CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Motion was based an the finding that the physical and operational characteristics of the
l lospital PUD do nat change under tl~e revised PUD and incorparates previous PUD
approval conditions, including the option for the Hospital to continue seeking written
Dental Clinic approval or the indemnification concept approved previously. Motion
carried unanimously.
18. Consideration of adopting amendments to City/Township agreement removing the
"Southwest Area Concept Plan" as an attachment to the agreement.
Deputy City Administrator Jeff O'Neill reported that the City received a letter from the
Monticello Orderly Annexation Area (MUAA) Board requesting that the Township and
City remove the Southwest Area Plan as an attachment to their joint agreement, thereby
opening up land use planning in this area to the MOAA Board.. It was City staff's
recommendation that Council request a meeting with the MOAA Board to discuss ideas
for modifying the Southwest Area.
Council discussed the joint Township/City resolution and the City's comprehensive plan,
and it was noted that time is an issue since the joint resolution would be null and void if a
land use plan is not adopted by the MOAA Board by March 1999. Councilmember
Bruce Thielen noted that any meeting held with the MOAA Board should be limited to
discussion of specific issues, and he requested that an agenda be prepared outlining
specific issues to be discussed.
AFTER DISCUSSION, A MOTION WAS MADE BY BRIAN STUMPF TO RF,QUEST A
MEE'T'ING IN JANUARY 1999 WITH THE MOAA BOARD, INCLUDING THE'I'OWNSHIP
BOARD, TO DISCUSS IDEAS FOR MODIFYING THE SOUTHWEST AREA. MOTION
WAS SECONDED BY BRUCE'I'HIELEN, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
DISCUSSIONS WOULD BE LIMITF,D TO TIIE SOUTI-IWEST AREA PLAN ONLY. Motion
carried unanimously.

agreement regarding sanitary sewer extension to the west mobile home park.
