AGENDA SUPPLEMENT
1. Report by Engineer on Storm Nater Ponding Problem - West River Street.
PURPOSE: As you may recall, Ron Nygaard, who lives at 1521 West River St.
in Ritze Manor Addition, came to the last City Council meeting and
indicated there was a problem with storm water ponding on the north
side of west River Street close to his house, resulting in a backup
of water in heavy rains into his basement.
On Thursday, September 4, 1980, our engineer, John Badalich, will be
reviewing this situation with our Public works Director, John Simola, and
will have a report ready for Monday night's meeting. As you may recall,
one of the alternatives was increasing the size of some of the culverts
in that area, or there would be the possibility of installing permanent
storm sewer in that area such that it would flow into the creek adjacent
to Reins Yager's property.
Normally, whichever alternative is chosen, a project of this nature is
assessed to the benefitted property owners, and the procedure would be
for John Badalich to prepare a more formal feasibility report indicating
what property would be benefitted and proposed to be assessed, along
with the estimated costs, etc.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of action to be taken in light of the
report presented by John Badalich at Monday night's 'meeting.

1-A. Consideration of Variance Reguest for Certificate of Occupancy an
Landscaping Requirements - Clow Stampinq Company.
PURPOSE: To consider the request of Clow Stamping Company to obtain a
certificate of occupancy for their new building in Oakwood Industrial
Park without the necessary landscaping being completed. They would
like to occupy this building as of September 19, 1980.
Clow Stamping would like this variance from landscaping provisions for
a period of 60 days, and will be willing to make surety arrangements
for the cost of this landscaping.
Steve Paumen, of Clow Stamping Company, will be at Monday night's meeting
to discuss this variance request.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consider approval or denial of this variance request
for 60 days on landscaping for their new plant, contingent upon surety
arrangements being made.

2. Consideration of 3.2 Beer License - St. Henry's Catholic Church for
September 21, 1980 Fall Festival.
PURPOSE: To consider a request by St. Henry's Catholic Church to have a
one -day license for September 21, 1980 for their Fall Festival.
According to Gregg Oahlheimer, who will be responsible for the selling of
the beer, the event will last from 12:00 Noon until 6:00 P.M.
In the past, similar types of licenses have been approved for the
Monticello Lion's Club for the 4th of July event, and the Jaycees for
a Tractor Pull.
POSSIBLE ACTION: `Cons1ideration of approval of request for 3.2 one -day license.

Council Agenda — 9/8/80
3. Consideration of Approval of Downtown Parkinq for Addition to Monti Theatre.
PURPOSE: Michael Mueller, owner of the Monti Theatre in Downtown Monticello,
is proposing an addition for a new auditorium that would be added onto the
east side of his existing auditorium, and is requesting approval to utilize
the downtown parking lots without providing any additional parking for his
theatre.
After the addition of the new auditorium, Monti Theatre would actually,
in effect, have the ability to show two movies at one time.
The existing Monti Theatre has been assessed on the Downtown Parking Lots.
However, there is some concern with the amount of traffic that may be
generated by the addition of this auditorium to the facility. Normally,
the theatre can seat 149 people and would have to provide 37 spaces utilizing
the formula within the zoning ordinance. However, in the Downtown area, it
has been the policy to review planned business expansions, etc. , on a
case by case basis to see if there is adequate parking already provided
in the municipal parking lots.
At the last meeting, the City Council approved of parking for Sam Peraro's
now planned retail office expansion southeast of the corner of Highways 25
and 75. However, in this particular case, instead of being 37 spaces short,
there is only 24 spaces short. Additionally, with the completion of the
commuter parking lot, there will be probably from 50 to 60 more additional
spaces available in the block that Sam Peraro is proposing to build his
now complex. It should be pointed out that there would still be same spaces
left over after the commuter parking lot is constructed to accommodate a
facility such as the Monti Theatre for a portion of their parking needs.
Additionally, there may bo some, justification in approving the addition to
the theatre since most of the parking requirements for the theatre are in
the evenings. However, there would be a conflict on Thursday evenings and
if any matinees aro shown on Saturday afternoon.
Keeping in mind that the Wright County State Bank will, at one time, occupy
tho second floor of its now atructuro, although not immediately, there will
be additional parking spaces required for this facility also. Although it
may scan reasonable to grant the request by the Monti Theatre, there would
he concern for any future additions in the downtown area as to avallablo
parking, and it might W necessary to purchase additional land which would be
aose000d back to the downtown property owners in thio area. S Inco tar. Mueller
wanted to be on the agenda as coon as possible, a meeting wao not able to
be arranged with the Business s Industrial Development Committee, which reviews
parking in the downtown area. Possibly, the City Council may want to con-
sider referring this mattor to thin committee before action in taken.
POSSIBLE ACTION, Consideration of approving of addition to Monti Theatre
without providing any additional parking. Council may want to conoidor
referring this matter to above mentioned Committoo.

4. Consideration of Final Approval for Subdivision Request for John Sandberq's
Riverside First Addition.
PURPOSE: To consider a request for final plat approval by John Sandberg
for Riverside First Addition. Riverside First Addition consists of three
lot which were previously Lots 3 s 4 of Sandberg's Riverside Addition.
As you may recall, at the August 11, 1980 meeting relative to this sub-
division, abutting property owners were concerned about the fact that
future lots may also be subdivided. Approval was given upon the preliminary
plat contingent upon a covenant being placed on Lot 5 indicating that this
lot would not be subdivided as long as Mel Wolters and/or Mel White
homesteaded their present property in Riverside Addition. Additionally,
the final plat was to include new drainage easements with vacation of
the old easements.
John Badalich, our City Engineer, has received copy of the final plat on
the day of the writing of this agenda supplement, and will have his comments
addressing the drainage at Monday night's meeting. Additionally, any
approval of the final plat should be contingent upon submitting a copy
of the recorded covenant mentioned above to the City of Monticello.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of final plat for Riverside
First Addition.

5. Consideration of Fundinq Para -Transit Cost for Transportation to Biq Lake
Nutrition Center for Monticello Residents.
PURPOSE: Consideration of funding costs for transportation to Monticello
Residents to the Big Lake Nutrition Center.
Enclosed, please find an August 14, 1980 letter from the Sherburne County
Social Services Office. According to this memorandum and information I
obtained from their office, there will be a deficit of $985 that needs to
be subsidized for Monticello City residents to attend the nutrition center
in Big Lake.
According to Ms. Christine Rudnicki, approximately ten (10) senior citizens
use this service, which provides twice weekly pickups on Tuesdays and
Fridays, for transportation to the Nutrition Center in Big Lake. Those
people who are picked up are charged approximately 25C per person for
a round trip fare.
Previously, the cost of this service was picked up through funding from
the Nutrition Center itself. However, these funds have been cut back, and
as a result, Sherburne County is picking up the cost for Sherburne County
residents. The Wright County Board of Commissioners was approached for
supporting the cost of residents from Monticello, or Wright County
residents, but they tabled action on this itan since they felt that if
they started this service for residents of Monticello, they would have to
do likewise throughout the County. For your information, there is a
nutrition center in Maple Lake, Minnesota; however, the Wright County
Board of Commissioners has not authorized funding for transportation to
and from this site for Wright County residents.
It should be pointed out that one possibility could be the implementation
of a nutrition center site in Monticellop however, this does not appear
likely due to the fact that guidelines to locating a nutrition center
require that no other nutrition center be located within a ten (10) mile
radius. It is my understanding that, at one time, there was some consideration
for a nutrition center to be included with the Trinity Wtheran Church, but
these plans wore not approved since the site would be so close to Big I.a ko.
It would appear to me that them might be other alternatives to tho City
picking up the costs for Monticello residents, and one would be a ride -
sharing program where those residents of Monticello who go to the nutrition
center could pick up other residents. This could be done by means of some
sort of bulletin at the Senior Citizens Center in Monticello, for example.
Another approach would be to have the County support this program, since
the County supports ouch a program in Sherburne County. It appears that
this would be getting into a social welfare aspect for a City, and normally,
this typo of funding is provided through the County.
POSSIBLE ACPIONi Considaration of funding of $985 for P4ra-Transit Services
to Monticello City residents to attend the Big Lake Nutrition Center.
REPERENCEBe August 14, 1980 memo from Sherburne County Social Services Offices.
(Notes It is interosting to note that the $985 subsidy plus the charge of
$195 on the enclosed shoot amount to 81.51 per meal for just transportation.

6. consideration of Request from Monticello Youth Hockey.
PURPOSE: To consider the request from the Monticello Youth Hockey Associa-
tion, in a letter dated August 22, 1980, which is enclosed.
I will attempt to address the issues raised by the Monticello Youth
Hockey Association, as follows;
A. Cleanina of Rinks - According to the Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc.,
Y they have a person who is interested in a parttime, short term employ-
ment to clean the rinks by 3:00 P.M. of each afternoon. The City
�tpJ" could possibly, through a CETA program, establish such a position with
t
no cost to the City of onticello. However, this would have to be
` contingent upon the individual that the Youth Hockey Association has
P in mind being qualified for the program. Normally, a CETA position
is for a person who is looking for full or part time employment on
a regular basis. Since there would be no way of knowing when the
services of the proposed individual would be needed, it might not be
possible to fund such a program through CETA.
B. Bathroom Facilities - when the warming house was designed for the
Fourth Street Park, bathroom facilities were intentionally not
included because of the amount of vandalism the City has experienced
4 in its other parks that have bathroom facilities. It is my underotanding
Q in the past that the Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc, has made use of
Satellites during the hockey season.
Fill - Apparently, according to the letter, forty (40) yards of pit fill
nand is needed, along with ten (10) yards of black dirt to landscape the
+; outer perimeter. When the City of Monticello originally approved of
constructing a warming house at the Fourth Street Park, it was under-
stood that the Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc. would take care of all
tho needs of tho Hockey Rink itself.
Yi. Mowing of Hockey Rink - According to John Simola, Public Works Dir.,
tho Hockey Rink has been mowed twice already this summer, and it will
be mowed one more time in September.
�t E. Lightinq for the Fiquro Skatinq Rink - John Simola will be reviewing
this request, and there is a possibility that another light fixture
could accomplish the same purpose, as opposed to a spot light.
F."I Hand Rail) - This would coat approximately $200, and if it is a safety
foature, the City of Monticello should consider this item.
0 It should be noted that, according to the figures released by the Hockey
Assoc., loss than half of those livo within tho City of Monticollo.
43 are from tho City of Monticello, 45 live in Monticello Township and the
remaining 12 come from Big Lako or Otsego Townships. Since tho Youth
Hockey Assoc, aro only open to those residents of Monticello School Dis-
trict 0882, it might be well to havo this possibly included in tho rocroa-
tion program with Monticello school District. It should bo noted that tho
- 6 -
Council Agenda - 9/8/80
City now only funds summer recreation expenses, but there could be the
possibility that this could be included within the program itself, and
as a result, the City of Monticello would more than pick up its fair
share, since it picks up half of the summer recreation costs. One other
possibility would be the formation of the joint powers agreement between
the City of Monticello, Township of Monticello and other Townships, for
cost sharing.
It should be noted that the City of Monticello is already supporting the
Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc. by the fact that it pays for all the cost
of the warming house, including initial construction. while the warming
house is obviously not for the sole use of the Hockey Assoc., it was
built primarily upon the request of the Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc.
The Hockey Assoc. is responsible for maintenance of their rink, along
with the lighting over the hockey rink itself. The City of Monticello
pays for all other utility costs, including the warming house and the
lighting of the general skating rink.
One possible recomendation would be to have the City look into the
possibility of having the individual recommended by the Hockey Assoc.
be determined as CETA-eligible, or not. This could be done in addition
to the costs for installing a hand rail, along with lighting over the
figure skating rink, as mentioned in their August 22, 1980 letter. As
far as the other concern addressed, it might be well to establish some
type of joint powers agreement or go through the recreation program within
the School District.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval or denial of request from
Monticello Youth Hockey Assoc.

7. Consideration of Approval of Joint Summer Recreation Costs with Independent
School District #882 for 1981.
PURPOSE: In accordance with the agreement previously approved by the
City Council of Monticello and Independent School District #882, enclosed
please find a proposed budget submitted by the Joint Advisory Board for
consideration by the City Council of Monticello and the School Board.
It should be noted that this proposed budget calls for an increase in the
City's participation of $2,329.50 from an amount of $5,730 for the year
1980, to proposed share of $8,059.50. This is based on the costs being
jointly shared by the City and School District of Monticello.
Although the increase would be approximately 41% over the amount approved
for 1980, it should be pointed out that in the 1980 budget, the School
District had not initially included a Director and Secretary for adminis-
tration, which amounts to $2,759 for 1981. As a result, without these items,
the budget increase is approximately 1613%. These two items were mentioned
by the School Board but not included in the 1980 budget, and as a result,
the City Council, at that time, indicated that they would possibly consider
then for inclusion in the future, but since the budget was presented without
these figures for 1980, the proposal was to share the costs on a 50/50 basis
without these costs being included.
For your information, at this point, I have included the City's share of
$8,059.50 in the preliminary budget, which is presented it. a later agenda
item. However, according to the agreement, the City has to approve of the
budget on a year -by -year basis.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of budget for joint summer
recreation program for 1981, and the City's allocation of $8,059.50.
REFERENCES: Projected summer recreation costs for 1981 compared to 1980,
prepared by Independent School District 0882. (Ceam:unity Education Director,
Candace Benoit, will be at Monday night's meeting, and additionally, Fran
Fair is a member of the Joint Recreation Board.)

8. Consideration of Acquisition of 16 -mm Movie Projector for the Library.
PURPOSE: To consider a request dated September 3, 1980 (copy enclosed)
by Marge Bauer for a 16 -mm movie projector for the library.
I did mention to Marge that we are now in the process of reviewing our
preliminary budget for 1981, and possibly this could be a part of that
budget. According to Marge, she felt it was important that the City
consider this request for acquisition yet in 1980. Additionally, I
did explain some concerns that the City may have relative to the cost
of maintaining the library at its present site until such time as a new
library is built. I did explain that the possibility exists that the
City may have to consider a bookmobile. As a result of this, it would
be a very limited amount of time that a projector could be used prior to
having it put in sturage until a new library was ready.
Although this is an issue entirely unto itself, Marge felt that the City
should consider very strongly trying to maintain present facilities as
opposed to utilizing a bookmobile.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of acquisition of 16 -mm movie projector
for the library.

9. Public Hearinq - Proposed Use of Federal Revenue Sharinq Funds.
PURPOSE: Regulations governing federal revenue sharing funds require
the City Council to hold a public hearing at least seven (7) days before
the adoption of the proposed budget. Public Hearing must be held to
allow local citizens and groups an opportunity to present written or
verbal comments on how the proposed revenue sharing money is to be spent.
A notice of this hearing has to be published and a reasonable effort made
to have senior citizens and senior citizens groups participate in the
hearing itself. It should be noted that the hearing was published as
required and a notice of the hearing was sent to the Senior Citizens Center,
Cedarcrest Apartments and Ridgemont Apartments in Monticello.
It is expected in 1981 that the City of Monticello will receive approxi-
mately $112,929 in Federal Revenue Sharing funds. At the time of the
writing of this agenda supplement, the Congress of the United States has
not finalized or appropriated monies for Federal Revenue Sharing, but it
appears almost certain that such funds will be continued. In 1978 and 1979,
the City Council appropriated its revenue sharing entitlement totaling
$192,678 towards the City's share of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This
could be one possible appropriation of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for
the City Council to consider. If the appropriation were approved, Federal
Revenue Sharing funds appropriated for the Treatment Plant would total
$305,607 and this, along with previous appropriation from the Capital
Outlay Revolving Fund of $123,426, constitutes a total of $429,033. It
is estimated that the City's share of the Wastewater Treatment Plant
project will be approximately $553,240, plus the necessary easements.
\, As part of the regulations involving revenue sharing, it is required that
the actual proposed ueo of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, along with the
entire budget, is subject to a hearing. As a result, the City Council
may want to consider the indication of what should be done with the
Federal Revenue Sharing Funds at the proposed use hearing, and this would
be subject of another hearing in conjunction with the budget for the
September 22, 1980 meeting.
1� POSSIBLE ACTION, Consideration of input on proposed use of Federal Revenue
} I baring dollars, and indication of proposed use by Council.

10. Review of the Preliminary Budget for 1981.
PURPOSE: To review the preliminary budget proposed for 1981. It was
intended that the review at Monday night's meeting be for preliminary
purposes only, and in accordance with Federal Revenue Sharing Laws, a
public hearing must be held, and this has been scheduled for the September 22,
1980 meeting, to consider the final budget.
Minnesota Statutes require approval of the budget prior to October 10, 1980
in order to certify the local levy to the County Auditor by that date.
Following are some significant items relative to the 1981 budget:
A. Local Levy - You will notice that it is proposed that the local levy
be increased from $897,431 to $987,378, or an increase of $89,947 for
the local share. Two primary reasons are necessary for the increase -
one is the increase in the bond levy of $42,572; and the other increase
remaining of $47,375 is primarily due to inflation. In fact, exclusive
of the bond levy, the levy has been increased only 5.270. In order to
somewhat compensate for the increase in the bond levy, the Capital
Outlay Revolving Fund levy was reduced from $115,300 collectible in
1980 to $59,980 collectible in 1981.
B. Mill Levy - The $987,378 local levy will result in a mill levy of
approximately 24.694 mills.• This is an increase of approximately 2%
mills, and it is due to the increase in the local levy mentioned above
of $89,947, plus the fact that the valuation in Monticello, instead of
increasing, is actually decreased duo to the depreciation of the NSP
nuclear plant. For taxes colloctible in 1980, the valuation of the
City of Monticello was $40,194,399; and for taxes collectible in 1981,
it is estimated that the valuation will be approximately $39,985,056.
C. Sewer and water Rates - It appears at this time that it will not be
nocaoaary to adjust the sewer and water rates. In the water fund, the
expenditures came very close to matching the revenue, and in the sewer
fund, although the expenditures exceed the revenues by $14,000, I would
recommend that an adjustment not be made in the sewer rates until 1982
duo to the fact that they ware just adjusted in 1980, plus the fact
that the City will have more comploto information relative to the opera-
tion of the now treatment plant. The deficit of $14,000 that will occur
in the sower fund will be more than offset by the reserve funds available.
D. Reserves and Appropriations - Following is a computation of the
reserve that the City of Monticello is expected to have on hand as of
December 31, 1981:
•(For purposes of illustration, the effect of this increase in mill rate
would bo approximatoly $6.90 for a homo valued at $40,000, and $8.98
a year for a home valued at $50,000.)

As you can see by the above, utilizini r.ho previous appropriations for the
sewer fund along with the dedication of lwnd retirement for the liquor
fund plus the possible appropriation of the additional funds ncodr_d for the
Wantewater Treatment Plant, the City of Monticello would expect to have
approximately $494,607 available at the end of 1981, included with Utoce
items as possible additional appropriations have been items that have
been mentioned or requested to he included in the budget for 1981. 1
did not include come of these items, feeling that thoy could be possibly
appropriated during 1981 if tile Council felt that the equipment or project
should be purchased. For example, the Conmutor Parking Lot ir, not included
in the budget for 1981, but there aro sufficient funds on hand that the
City Council could make an appropriation from Clio Capital Outlay Revolving
fund for inntance. An you can sell, the City's coot Of tho ilite rc,:ptor
sewer project would be $1,000,000 and 1.110 City could either utilize come
of the rocerves for this project, or there would be the possibility in
the future that. tho City could borrow monay for this amount, or a combina-
tion of both. It appears that it would 10 rather hard fot the City of
Nonticollo to build up the. entire $1,000,000 in reserve, and it appears
quite likely if the City is going to do the interceptor sewer project
within the next four to five yearn, it would be nocessary to go to a
referendum and borrow the funds for this project.
- 12 -
D
Council Agenda - 9/8/80
It should be noted that no amount of possible appropriation is included
for a library, since $150,000 has already been deducted from the balance
in the Liqour Fund for the purchase of the Oakwood Block, and it
appears that this block could sell for something like $250,000.
Based on an estimated total cost of land acquisition and construction of
$500,000, less the $250,000 that the City could apply from the sale of
the Oakwood Block, against the Dowling property and towards the construction
project, it appears that the City may have to borrow approximately $250,000
to be put on a referendum.
POSSIBLE ACTION: The budget is presented for preliminary purposes for
Monday night's meeting. However, if the Council wishes to make any
adjustments before the hearing scheduled for September 22, 1980, there
should be a motion to that effect to adjust the specific item or items.

11. Consideration of Approval of Lease Aqreement Between the City of Monticello
and Independent School District 4882 for a Portion of the Oakwood School .
PURPOSE: To consider a three-month lease for the Oakwood School Building
to allow the Independent School District 4882 administrative offices to
remain until November 30, 1980, along with the provision that an addi-
tional three months may be considered on a month-to-month notice.
Closing date for the transfer of the Oakwood School Building, according
to agreements previously approved by the City Council, was August 31, 1980.
In the original agreement, the City of Monticello agreed to lease back
space for administrative offices to the ISD 4882 for an additional three
months at a monthly rental of $500 per month. This agreement indicated
that the City would pay all utility costs, custodian fees, etc.
Reviewing the costs for utilities, custodian fees, etc., it appears that
this amount would exceed the $500 in rent that the City of Monticello
would receive from ISD 0882 and the $250 in rent it would receive from
the ABC Day Care Center. Approximate figures supplied by ISD 0882 indicate
that the average fuel cost for the building is $400 monthly, along with
an electrical bill of $175 monthly, plus custodial care of $250 monthly.
As a result, it is agreeable with the School District to continue to pay
these costa and waive the provision that the City has to pay the
School District $147 par month for custodial fees and utility billing
for the library for the period from August Slat through November 30, 1990.
In the meantime, the School District would continue to collect the $250
in rent realized from the ABC Day Care Center, since they would be prov 1ding
the utilities along with custodial services.
In my estimation, the City of Monticello would come out ahead on this
arrangement rather than collect $500 from the School District and $250
per month in rent from the ABC Day Care Center, since it would have to
provide the utilitice, janitorial services, etc. For example, a boiler
license is needed to operato the boiler, and the City would still have to
have soma arrangement with the School District to continua maintenance
of the boiler, plus the custodial fees.
Although the School District dean expect to be in their now offices by
November 30, 1980, the additional claueo of a month-to-montli lease for
an additional three months in put into the agreement in case the building
is not complete by that data.
For your information, I have talked to the ABC Day Caro Contee and explained
to them that the City would have to review that possibility of closing t ho
building down once the School moves its administrative offices. I expLainod
that the City would be looking at the total coot to keep the building open
as opposed to the rent charged to the ABC Day Caro Contor, and if the
ABC Day Care Center would wish to make up the difference, there would be
the p000ibility of extending the month-to-month lease arrangement they
currently have with the School District. According to the ABC Day Care
- 14 -
Council Agenda - 9/8/80
Center, they have plans to move to a new location, but these plans are not
definite and it would be, at the earliest, January 1, 1981 before they
could move. I indicated that if it was a question of a couple of months
and there was some definite date that the City could work with the ABC
Day Care Center to allow them to rent the facility, provided that the
proper adjustment was made in the rent. Additionally, I mentioned the
fact that the City may want to consider continuing the operation of the
Oakwood Building to allow the continued operation of the Library in
the present facility.
POSSIBLE ACCION: Consideration of approval of lease agreement with
Independent School District #882 for the Oakwood School building.

12. Consideration of Approval of Option with Robert and Clara Dowling for
Additional Property for the Library.
PURPOSE: To consider a non-refundable option of $500 to acquire the
Robert Dowling property for $70,000, with the option money to be applied
towards the purchase price.
At the last meeting of the City Council, approval was given to the City
Administrator to negotiate a refundable option for the Robert Dowling
property. Essentially, Mr. Dowling was agreeable to the price proposed
by the City, but felt that the option should be at least $500 and
non-refundable. He indicated this would be similar to the agreement
he formulated with Independent School District #882.
As a result, enclosed please find an option which indicates that $500
shall be applied towards the purchase price, but there is no stipulation
that the option money be returned to the City of Monticello if the
City of Monticello does not go through with the acquisition. This option
is good until November 15, 1980, which gives the City adequate time after
the November 4th election to determine if the City should go ahead and
proceed with the acquisition of this property. Additionally, it should
be noted that the closing date shall be no later than May 1, 1981 or
sooner with 30 days notice from the sellers to the buyers. This was
one concern that Mr. Dowling had in that he was sure that he would be
able to find suitable living quarters and requested ouch a clause be
put into the contract. If anything, this will benefit the City also
since the City does not have to pay the balance of the closing price
until the date is established, but no later than May 1, 1981. Since
it appears that the Dowling Property will be used for a parking lot, this
should not hinder construction of the project.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of option of $500 to apply towards
the purchase price of $70,000 for the Bob Dowling property. Option good
until November 15, 1980.

Wastewater Treatment Plant.
PURPOSE: To consider the award of a contract contingent upon approval by
EPA and PCA of a contract to Paul A_ Laurence Company, of Minneapolis, in
the amount of $4,704,000.
Our engineers, Orr -Sc he len-.ayeron s Assoc., have reviewed and tabulated
the bide on the upgrading of the Monticello Wastewater Treatment Plant,
and Paul A. Laurence's bid of $4,704,000 is the low bid. Our engineers
have reviewed the various documents and are recommending the approval
and the award of a contract to Paul A. Laurence Company contingent upon
final review by the PCA and EPA.

14. Review of Feasibility Report and Consideration of Calling for Public
Nearing for the Cedar Street Storm Sewer Project.
PURPOSE: Recently, the City Council approved of a conditional use
permit for Cy Reinert to construct a 36 -unit Townhouse complex just
northeast of the intersection of Cedar Street and Lauring lane, and at
that time, it was indicated by our engineer that a storm sewer might be
necessary to handle the additional drainage in this area. As a
result, the City Council requested the engineer to prepare a feasibility
report, which is enclosed.
You will note, according to the feasibility report, there is also an
additional area included for storm sewer which is the VFW Club.
According to John Badalich, since the VFW Club has now provided a
drainage swail, this segment of the project might not have to be
completed. However, the VFW Club would still receive an area assess-
ment based on the B-3 zoning, which according to the report, would
approximately $3,600 per acre.
After roview and acceptance of the feasibility report, procedure would be
to have the Council consider a public hearing on the proposed improvement
at which time all property owners proposed to be assessed would have an
opportunity to present testimony relative to the matter.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of adoption of resolution calling for a
public hearing on the proposed Cedar Street storm sewer project.

1 15. Consideration of Exchanqe of Land.
PURPOSE: To consider an exchange of land between the City of Monticello
and Northern States Power Company relative to land adjacent to NSP's
utility building on County Road 39 and the City of Monticello's Maintenance
Building.
NSP recently contacted the City of Monticello indicating that they would be
building a fence around their property for security purposes along West
County Road 39. As part of this plan, it was proposed to put a fence
between the City of Monticello's property line and NSP's property line.
However, NSP was agreeable to putting in a gate to allow the City of
Monticello access to its salt bin that exists on the City's Maintenance
Building property. (Please refer to map enclosed).
It should be pointed out that this salt bin can be approached also from
the east side which would be entirely the City of Monticello's property;
however, in turning around operations for the loader to pick up the salt
and back up, it usually had crossed NSP's property, and this is the
reason why NSP was agreeable to put a gate in. It should be further
pointed out that NSP had utilized our property in going across with some
of their equipment, so it was a mutual type of agreement.
When our Public Works Director, John Simola, reviewed this, he felt a
bettor idea would be for the City of Monticello to actually exchange land
such that the City of Mon ticollo would pick up that land to the west
of the salt bin and in exchange, the City of Monticello would trade off
a portion of a 30' strip that the City had obtained when it purchased the
Maintenance Building from Ron Schliof, that existed just west of the NSP
property (again, see enclosed map).
This exchange of land appears to be approximately an even exchange, with
each parcel being approximately 7,956 square feet in size. It should be
pointed out that we have talked to NSP and they are very agreeable to the
exchange of property since they feel it would aid both parties.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of approval of exchange of property outlined
a
above.

16. Consideration of Reschedulinq of First Meeting in October.
PURPOSE: Due to the fact that the second Monday in October, October 13, 1980,
falls on the observance of Columbus Day and a meeting cannot be held on a
holiday, it is necessary to reschedule the October 13, 1980 meeting.
Normally, in cases of holidays like this which fall on a Monday, City Council
has usually met on the following Tuesday, October 14, 1980. However,
in this particular case, the Planning Commission has a meeting scheduled
for October 14, 1980, and one possibility would be to have this meeting
scheduled for Wednesday, October 15, 1980.
POSSIBLE ACTION: Consideration of rescheduling October 13, 1980 meeting.

Dear Mr. Wieber,
The Monticello Community Education Advisory Council has developed
and approved this proposed budget (attached) for the Sumer
Recreation Program of 1981. We feel that this budget reflects
a well rounded recreation program for all ages from pre-school
through senior high age students.
All of the now programs listed are activities that wean offered
in the past with the exception of handicrafts. Due to the
circumstances that existed in our office this past summer we
felt it would be best to run a more streamlined program this year
and to round it out again for next year. The handicraft course
was added as an alternative to the physical type of recreation
activities offered. The Advisory Council felt that this would
fill in the gap for crafts between pre-school age students and
older students.
Also added to this budget are the administration costs for the
summer recreation program. These administrative costs wart,
brought to the attention of the council when the 1980 budget vas
approved.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
295-2915. 1 will also be available for the City Council alneting
if any questions should arias.
Sincerely yours,
s

Dear City Council Members:
As the Monticello librarian, I would like to petition the council
to consider purchasing a 16 mm movie projector for one at the
library and for loan out to patrons. Most libraries the size of
cure have a projector either furnished by the city or the Great
River Regional Library System. I have checked with CRRL several
times as to obtaining a projector and at this time, it appears
it will be a couple of years before their budget will allow for
this expenditure.
The Great River Regional Library has a In rge selection of 36 mm
films which are available to the branches and to patrons. I am
attaching copies of their catalogues. Many programs, both
educational and entertaining,could be sponsored .for children And,
adults if a projector were part of our normal operating equipment.
I would estimate that a good projector and acreen would cost
around 4900. The plane for our new library include An ideal area
for viewing films. However, 1 would ouggent to the council that
this purchase not be delayed for-,thnt anount of time. I have
mnnnged at different times to squeeze 60 -?0 children into our
present facilities for movie presentationa. This type of response,
considering our very limited facilities, I fool warrants the
purchase of a 16 mm movie projector as coon as poonible:
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Margo Boor

EPA Project No. C270855-03
Dear Gory:
We have reviewed all bids and prepared the Bid Tabu:ation for the
above referenced proirct. The Paul A. Laurence Co, is low :.idler
at $4,704,000. We have reviewed the Paul A. Laurence Co. bid
proposal form and find it responsive and in conformance with the
instructions specified therein.
7t is our opinion that the Paul A. Laurence Company is a re-
putable construction contractor capable of successful con-
struction and completion of the project. The Paul A. Laurence
Co". has extensive and varied experience in wastewater treatment
construction on EPA federally funded proiects. Their firm has
executed and is currently engaged in construction contracts for
numerous projects throughout Minnesota and the upper midwest
region. Their firm has performed extensive construction for the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission at the Metro Pant and
other smal:er facilities such as the Empire Plant at Lakeville,
Minnesota.
Orr-Schelen-Mayeron 6 Associates formally recommends the City of
Monticello announce intent of award to the Paul A. Laurence Co.
as the lowest responsive bidder.
All ten t-idders have been informed that the City of Monticello
will -.ake formal announcement of the low responsive bidder at the
city council-;eeting of September 8, 1960. The City will need to
prepare a letter formally notifying the lowest responsive bidder
in writing as soon as possible after the council decision.

As per specification Special requirement 7, .the low responsive
bidder has fifteen (15) days after written Notification to submit
KBE related information such as MBE Capability Statements, etc.
.to the City of Monticello. .Special Requirement 7 provides ad-
ditional detail on submittal requirements.
CSN. and the City of Monticello will review the CBE submittal for
con£orr..ance with Special Requirement 7. If the MBE submittal is
deemed responsive, the formal recommendation of award f:iciuding
required supplementary information will need preparation for sub-
mittal to the Minnesota Pollution Control ;gency (MPCA) and the
Environmental Protection Acency (EPA) for their approval. OSM
will. assist the city in preparation of this submitta 1.
Notice of Award will be sent immediately following approval by
t. ".e MPCA and EPA.=xecution of the contract 5y the Contractor is
required within ten (10) da?s after written Notice of A6&rd. The
City will then issue the Notice to Proceed immediately after ex-
ecution of the contract.
To ease your burden, OSM will gladly provide maximum as=_istance
and involvement in the bid/award process. as procedures on EPA
federally funded projects complicate matters conside=ably.
Please be informed that bidders are required to Y,old their bids
for ninety (90) days. Experiencing the extremely long review
periods required for EPA it is best we expedite cutters as much
as possible.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or answer

TO: City Officials
FROM: Pete Tritz
RE: STATUS OF REVENUE SHARING RE-ENACTMENT
As you know, the current revenue sharing law expires as of September 30 of this year.
The bill re-enacting revenue sharing has not yet been passed by Congress. It
currently appears that the earliest date by which final action can be expected is
the first week of October.
The revenue sharing re-enactment bill, H.R. 7112, has been reported nut of com-
mittee, and is currently on the floor of the House. Major features of the bill as
it currently stands are as follows:
1) The bill would extend the program for three years, with annual funding
of $4.6 billion. (This is the same level of annual funding which has
been in effect since 1976.)
2) State governments are eliminated from revenue sharing.
3) The allocation formula is amended to reduce funds to jurisdictions
whose per capita tax collections exceed 250E of the state average.
4) Annual use reports are eliminated, but jurisdictions receiving
allocations of $25,000 or more would be required to submit an audit
every two years, covering both years.
5) One billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) is authorized for counter-
cyclical anti -recessionary payments. These funds would be available
after two successive quarters of decline in national real wages and
salaries and the gross national product. The funds would be distri-
buted to local governments in counties which suffer a decline in real
wages and salaries, and would be allocated to governments within the
county according to the revenue sharing allocation formula.
iILC's lobbyists feel that it is unlikely that the counter -cyclical funding provisions
will actually be passed. They do consider it possible that the House may include a
moderate increase (perhaps $500 million) in general revenue sharing funding.
( It is important that local officials continue to contact Minnesota's Senators and
Representatives to urge them to support re-enactment of revenue sharing.

COUNCIL UPDATE
September 8. 1980 Meetin(I
Commuter Parking Lot
our Engineer, John Badalich, has written the State of Minnesota relative
to the proposed commuter parking lot to get their approval relative to
the plans and specifications, along with any possible problems with
drainage that might occur similar to the VFW Club.
According to John Badalich, he received a telephone call in response
to the letter, and there is a possibility that the State may revive
funds for such a project and the District office in Brainerd feels that
this could certainly be part of this project. The District office in
Brainerd indicated they would be suinitting a formal written response
to John Badalich's letter in the near future.
Parkinq by the Monticello Junior/Senior Hiqh School on Washington Street
According to the recent survey taken by myself and a conversation with
Lyn Sonju, High School Principal, there appear to be approximately 25
cars still parking along Washington Street and 3rd and 4th Streets by
the School. In reviewing what parking is left on the east side of the
School, there appeara to be more than adequate space, and an many as
80 to 85 spaces were empty. Lyn Sonju indicated he would be all in favor
of the City putting up the necessary signs marking "no parking" on
Washington Street, and along 3rd and 4th Streets.
As a result of this, signs have been ordered for no parking during
school hours on the east side of Washington Street (the west side
is already marked no parking) and for portions of 3rd and 4th Streets.
Sale of General Obligation Improvement Bonds for the 1980-1 and 1980-2 Proiects
I have talked with King Fornoss, with Springsted, Inc., our fiscal con-
sultanta, about calling for the sale of general obligation improvement
bonds to finance the 1980-1 and 1980-2 improvement projects, which were
improvements the city Council approved to Maearlund plaza and Prairie Road.
In talking with King Fornona, he felt that the City might be better off
financially to insuo bonds on this project at the same time it iSUuQG bonds
for the library project, since some of the costs would not have to be
duplicated, ouch as a rating by Moody Ia and certain legal fees.
An a result of this and the possibility that the City might put in the storm
sewer project which is on the agenda for September 8, 1980, the City has
adequate funds to finance internally the improvement project mentioned above
til after the Uovembor 4, 1980 referendum which will determine whether the
City will be going ahead and borrowing money for a library. Additionally,
by that time, we will have a batter handle on whether the storm sewer pro-
joct in the Coder Street area will be completed, and this could possibly
be included.

Wriqhtco Report
As you recall at our last meeting, the City Council requested John Badalich
to prepare the report relative to the allocation of Chemical Feed
Equipment and Chemical Costs to Wriqhtco. Since Jim Ridgeway will not
be in town on September 8, 1980, this item has been moved up to the
September 22, 1980 agenda. John Badalich indicated that he would bring
up the report on Monday night so that I might be able to give the
report to Jim Ridgeway in adequate time to review for the September 22,
1980 agenda.

Library.
At their last meeting, the Library Project Committee reviewed the
alternatives available in order to acconmiodate a library of approxi-
mately 6,000 square feet on the parcel conveyed to the City by the
School District for Library purposes. The Committee reviewed the
possibility of pursuing additional land from the School District located
just cast of the present site, but which is bound by a covenant by
Mr. Tom Bondhus. In discussions with City Attorney, Cary Pringle, the
option existed for the City to try and get a declaratory judgment from
the District Court that would enable the City to use this land for
parking for a library. However, it was noted that this Court procedure
could take many months or even possibly years if Mr. ltondhus decided to
appeal any decision.
The Library Project Committee's ultimate recommendation was that the
City Council consider pursuing acquisition of additional land for the
library from Mr. Bob Dowling. Mr. Dowling has indicated he would he
Willing to negotiate with the City on selling his land, and indicated

Council Minutes - 8/25/80
f The City's consulting planner, Howard Dahlgren Associates, reviewed the
rezoning request, and felt that it was a proper rezoning request as the
lots in question were bordered by the railroad to the north and
industrial property to the west, and would provide a good transition
to the other single family residential property in the area.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously at their last meeting to
recommend approval of this rezoning request.
Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously
carried to approve the rezoning of Lots 1 thru 14, Block 1 in The Meadows
from R-1 to P.-2. (See Zoning Ordinance Amendment 8/25/80 4 ).
Consideration of an Extension of the Variance Request of Hardsurfaced
Requirements for a Parking Lot - Mel Wolters (Dairy Queen).
Purpose of this item was to consider a request for the extension of a
variance previously granted by the City on June 25, 1979 for a period
of one year to allow Mr. Mel Wolters, owner of the Dairy Queen in
Monticello, to utilize the abutting property as a parking lot without
having the property hardsurfaced or providing curbing. The reason for
his initial request was that lie had planned to build an office building
on this piece of property and indicated that he would just have to tear
up the blacktopping to construct the new building, which would be a waste
( of materials and money.
At this time, Mr. Wolters indicated that he Still has plans to proceed
with a proposed office building, and requested that at a minimum, the
variance be extended an additional 60 to 90 days to provide extra parking
for the Dairy Queen until the winter months. His plans are that a new
office building would be constructe9 possibly this winter and be ready for
occupancy by next spring.
Motion was made by Phil White, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried
to extend the variance request of hardsurfaced requirements for the abutting
parking lot next to the Dairy Queen until June 1, 1981, contingent upon
having a surety bond or other satisfactory security presented to the City.
6. Consideration of a Simple Subdivision Request - Richard Luebke.
Mr. Lembko requested that this item be postponed until the September 0,

7. Consideration of Approval of Plans 6 Specifications for a Commuter Parkinq
Wt - Southwest of I-94 Interchange.
City Engineer, John Badalich, has recently prepared a layout to accormnodate
approximately 222 parking spaces for a commuter parking lot on the south-
west corner of the I-94 interchange, on a 2 -acre parc,:l of land previously
agreed to be given to the City by the County. This property, if utilized
for a commuter parking lot, would have a total construction cost estimated
at approximately $47,000, which would include excavation, blacktopping,
class 5, and black dirt, with indirect costs for engineering, inspection
fees, legal fees, etc., the total cost would approach approximately
$54,000.
The Council discussed to what extent a commuter parking lot should be
developed, and whether the entire parking lot or portions of it should
be blacktopped with curb and gutter, or constructed with Class 5 base.
In addition, it was noted by the engineer that if the entire 222 spaces
were developed in blacktopped parking lot, drainage runoff from the
parking lot may create problems along the interstate, and approval of
this parking would therefore have to be okayed by the State of Minnesota.
It was noted that approximately 50 to 60 commuters are now using municipal
parking lots in the downtown area with the possibility that other
commuters are parking elsewhere who could also utilize a commuter lot
once it was made available.
It was the Council consensus that the parking lot should be developed
as soon as practical, and that the lot should be developed with blacktop,
curb and gutter for approximately 100 cars to begin with. As a result,
it was the consennun of the Council that City Engineer, John Badalich,
Prepare cost estimaten for developing the parking lot for approximately
100 cars with hardsurfaco blacktop and curb and gutter, and to also
Present the plan to the State of Minnesota for their approval of the
drainage plan. The proposed plans nlong with cost entimates could then
be presented back to the Council for their review prior to any advertising
for bids. After the scope of the project and the cost has been determined,
possibility exists that the City may approach the County Board in a cost
sharing proposal, since a lot of tho cars in the commuter lots would
proles bly be from outside of the City limits.
G. Consideration of Award of Contract on 1980-1 and 1980-2 IMIW OVement Projects.
Bids were received on Friday, August 22, 1980, for the construction of

Council Minutes - 8/25/80
The City Engineer has been tabulating the bids for errors and to see
whether the bids meet specifications, and it appears that the low bid
submitted by Paul A. Laurence Company of Minneapolis is correct,
but the possibility does exist that some of the equipment in the two
low bids may not meet specifications.
John Badalich, City Engineer, indicated that it will take another week
or two to contact the two low bidders, Paul A. Laurence Company and
Adolphson s Peterson, Inc., to review the equipment and materials they
plan on using to see whether these items will meet specifications.
His final recommendation will be made to the Council at the September 8,
1980 meeting, at which time, if a contract is approved by the City,
it will then be submitted to the E.P.A. prior to any construction startup.

be ready to start construction almusl indnvdlately, but indicated that
of the 40 parking spaces required by the ordinance, only 8 on -nice parking
spaces will be provided.
Mr. Peraro requested that the remaining 32 required spaces be assessed
to film under the 1974-1 Downtown Parking Lot Improvement Pro3act, thus
utilizing the municipal lots for the balance of his parking.
Currently, the proposed site is already assessed for 10 spaces, and
Fir. Peraro indicated lie would be willing to be asacaacd for the addi-
tional 22 spaces needed under the Downtown Parking Assessment procedures.
In light of the fact that the Council is pursuing constructing a commuter
parking lot which would free approximately 50 to 60 spaces in the
municipal parking lot, motion wan made by Phil White, seconded by Fran
Fair and unanimously carried to approve Fir. Poraro'n plan for 8 compact -size

14. Discussion of Drainage Problem Alung River Street in kilts Manur Addition.
Mr. Ron Nygaard, property owner at the northeast corner of River St.
and Hilltop Drive in Ritze Manor, complained to the Council that
drainage problems exist along that ditch during heavy rainstorms, that
backs up water into his basement. He indicated that the culverts
located along River Street are apparently too small in size to handle
the drainage runoff, which creates a backup on his property, and
he requested that the City try and find a solution to the problem before
the fall and spring runoff.
City Engineer, John Badalich, indicated that he has a sketch of the
area indicating the culvert sizes, and will be reviewing the problem
areas, and report back to the Council with posoible solution, such
as increasing the size of certain driveway culverts or other permanent
storm sewer solutions. Mr. Radalic h indicated Lhat the ultimate
solution to the problem according to the comprehensive plan would be
to construct a storm sewer outlet into the creek behind Hillcrest and
Ritze Manor, but indicated that the present solution may be to resize a
few culverts in the area to provide adequate drainage.
The City engineer will be reviewing the problem and will report back
to the Council at the next meeting.
