U ' 11 b7 r `1 1 `Jpr� Il MINUTES REGULAR MEETING - MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL MONDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1989 - 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Fran Fair, Warren Smith, Ren Maus, Shirley Anderson, Dan Blonigen Members Absent: None Approval of minutes. Motion was made by Shirley Anderson, seconded by Warren Smith to approve the meeting minutes as presented. Motion carried unaniunusly. 3. Citizens coimnents/petitions, requests , and complaints. Brad and Cindy Eyle requested that Council consider granting them a conditional use permit that would allow them to operate a tri—plex in an R-2 zone. After discussion, it was determined that the z:atter should be referred to the Planning Commission for review via the conditional use permitting process. Council reviewed a petition submitted by property owners near the Plaza Car wash along South Highway 25 requesting the installation of a street light at the intersection of their private access approach to Hwy 25. Councilmember Blonigen suggested that the City develop a policy regarding street light installation and that consideration of this matter should wait until the general city policy is adopted. l Motion made by Dan Blonigen to table issue pending outcome of further study. Motion seconded by Shirley Anderson. Motion carried unaniuously. Council was informed that the Evergreens subdivision has not proceeded because the developer had been unable to obtain necessary financing. The developer requests that the City consider installing a portion or all of the necessary improvements in assessing the costs back to the developer. Dan Blonigen noted that this method of financing the development of residential lots has backfired in the past. Mayor Maus agreed that the City should not get involved in this project without considerable money from the developer provided up front, thereby reducing the per lot assesmnent which would mitigate the financial risk to the City. After discussion, motion was made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Dan Blonigen to table this matter pending development of a specific proposal for using the assessment process to assist the development of the Evergreen subdivision. Motion carried unanimously. Public hearing - consideration of sanitary sewer extension on Oakwood Drive between Chelsea Road and Dundas Road. Mayor Maus opened the public hearing. John Simola explained that the project was initiated at an earlier Council meeting at the request of Leo Parks, who is the owner of the old auction house on the west aide of Oakwood Drive. Simola recommended that upon favorable support from those benefitting property owners, the City Council could authorize the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications, but withhold advertisement for bids until the project can be incorporated with another utility Council Minutes - 10/23/89 project as an alternative to achieve the lowest possible cost. I_`, however, an urgent need is present for extension of the sewer, utilities, then Council may wish to go ahead with the project and not incorporate it with another City project. This would result in a slightly higher project cost. Members of the council noted that one of the benefitting property owners (Stuart Hoglund) was not present for the public hearing and were therefore concerned that this individual did not support this project. Fran Fair noted that Council should get Mr. Hoglund's input prior to making a decision on this matter. After discussion, motion made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Dan Blonigen to continue the public hearing and strive to get input from Stuart Hoglund regarding his level of support for the sanitary sewer extension on Oakwood Drive between Chelsea Road and Dundas Raod. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Consideration of ordinance amendment to establish garbage refuse charge in accord with recycling plan. John Simola explained that the ordinance amendment allows the City to follow its recycling plan and allows the City full flexibility in modifying or changing either the rates or the plan without having to modify the ordinance. Simola went on to note that the anti—scavaging portion of the ordinance is necessary to declare legal ownership of the recyclables once they are placed on the curb. The value of these recyclables offsets the recycling cost and once set at the curbside becomes the property of the City. Once they are picked up they become the property of our contractor. This has not been a significant problem for the city of Monticello, but it has occurred and Sheriff's deputies have been stymied by no appropriate place in the ordinance under which they could take action. Typically, the new ordinance provides for first offense as a petty misdemeanor and repeated offenses as a misdemeanor. After discussion, motion made by Fran Fair and seconded by Warren Snith to adopt the ordinance amendment and to adopt the garbage processing fee as presented. Motion carried unanimously. 6. Consideration of purchase of audio video equipment. Assistant Administrator O'Neill requested authorization to purchase a variety of audio video equipment utilized in the Council and Planning Comnission decision making process. O'Neill outlined the quotes received from Abols T.V. 6 Appliance. After discussion, motion made by Fran Fair and seconded by Warren Smith to purchase a VCR, camcorder, equipment table and mike stand from Flicker's T.V. 6 Appliance. Staff to purchase tape recorder from Flicker's T.V. 6 Appliance contingent on additional research. Motion carried unanimously. Council Minutes - 10/23/89 Consideration of authorizing purchase of a telephone system for City Hall and the Maintenance Building. Administrator Wolfsteller explained that the major purpose for considering purchasing our telephone system is that currently the City is spending approximately $100 per month to lease equipment and telphones within City Hall. By owning our own system the City should be able to save approximately this amount of money per month and apply it towards the purchase of our new State of the Art electronic telephone system. In addition, many features are available with new electronic phone system that could benefit City Hall, including options to allow off site locations such as the Maintenance Building the ability to use our metro phone line and thus save some labor and add efficiency by not having the Public Works emrployees come to City Hall to use the phone. It also appears that with the new phone system we may be able to eliminate 1 or 2 telephone lines at City Hall by being able to combine phone numbers and uses, and save additional monthly charges for these lines of approxinately $40 per month per line. The potential $140 savings per month would be sufficient to cover the cost of purchasing our own equipment, if the new system costs $7,500 and is amoritizied over 5 year life. It is expected that a new phone system would last longer than 5 years, when one considers that our present phone system has been in City Hall for 11 years already. Administrator Wolfsteller requested that Council authorize staff to acquire systematic cost not to exceed $7,500 to allow installation of an additional metro line estirreted at a cost of $175 per month. Mayor Maus noted that the features included in the State of the Art phone systems can be utilized to achieve the maximum capacity of the metro phone line, and thereby forestalling the need to install a second metro phone line. Warren Smith supported continued research on this natter, but suggested that Council decision regarding purchase of this equipment be delayed until staff has prepared its final recormnendation on which system to purchase. It was the consensus of Council to table this matter pending development of a final staff recommendation on which system will suit the City's needs in the most cost efficient manner. B. Consideration of abatement of dangerous buildings. Building Inspector Cary Anderson noted that there are two residential structures in the City that are vacant and in an extreme state of disrepair. one property is located on Elin Street across from the Legion Club. The other structure in located near the site of the proposed addition to the Monticello Mall. Both properties have windows and doors that are broken out and are, of course, accessable to children and rodents. In light of the recent murder in the city of Monticello and the manhunt that followed, the Wright County Sheriff'o Department recouanended that at a minimum, the windows and doors should be boarded up. Cary Anderson noted, however, that tho structures are beyond repair. It, therefore, may snake sense to demolish the blighted structures. Council Minutes - 10/23/89 Administrator Wolfsteller noted that the City staff will work with the property owners cooperatively, in an effort to get the owners to remove the structures. Wolfsteller asked Council if staff should take action if the property owners are unwilling to demolish the structures. After discussion, motion made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Dan Blonigen to require that the subject structures be closed by boarding up the windows and doors; this to be done within the next 2 weeks. Furthermore, said structures should be removed by Dec. 1, 1989. Motion carried unanimously. 9. Consideration of ordering 4 booster pump control valves for the water reservoir. John Simola explained that the existing check valves in the booster pumps at the reservoir on Chelsea Road open immediately upon pummp start and slam close upon pump stop. This causes extreme water hammner and pressure fluctuation in and about the reservoir, which ultimately could affect the pressure throughout the City, as well as cause damage. Simola noted that the City needs to replace these valves with electronically controlled, hydraulically operated slow opening and slow closing check valves. In preparation for this purchase the City requested that OSM include in the electronic control package for the water system mechanisms to operate these 4 new valves at the reservoir. Simola noted that we have obtained a quote for these units for costs of $2,441 per valve, for a total cost of $9,764, plus freight. After discussion, motion made by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Warren Smith to authorize purchase of the 4 Claval check valves from Northwestern Power and Equipment Company in St. Paul at a cost of $9,764, plus freight. Motion carried unanimously. 10. Consideration of approving amendment to labor agreement for additional Groundakeeper/Maintenance position. Administrator Wolfsteller explained that during May of 1988 Tom Schumacher, the City's part-time permanent groundskeeper/building maintenance person, filed an application to be part of the union membership for the Local 49. Wolfsteller noted that although the City staff could not see benefit for this position being added to the labor agreement, the City has no choice in the matter since the Bureau of Mediation Services has determined that this position can be part of our present labor agreement. Ironically, even if Mr. Shumecher now did not want to join the union, it is too late and the Local 49 would have to agree to eliminate this position from the bargaining unit, which would never happen. The labor agreement proposed is not detrimental to the City at this point, and actually results in a cost savings to the City even with the addition of extra benefits such ae the vacation and holidays. From staff standpoint, there does not appear to be any benefit to not approving the labor agreement and returning to the negotiating table as it does not appear that we could end up with a better contract than what is being proposed. Ren Maus noted the need to develop a a Council Minutes - 10/23/89 non-union workers policy which would allow employees to be under 1 personnel policy umbrella. Dan Blonigen noted that, in his view, the public works employees now part of the union would be better off if the union had not been established in Monticello. After discussion, motion wade by Fran Fair and seconded by Warren Snith to approve the proposed amendment to the labor agreement including the groundskeeper/maintenance position as part of the union. Motion carried unanimously. 11. Review of engineering data related to the recent overlay project in Oakwood Industrial Park. Administrator Wolfsteller explained that at the recent public hearing concerning the assessment procedures used in the Oakwood Industrial Park overlay project some property owners were contending that the City's intent of assessing half of the overlay was inappropriate because the project was initially designed as a 9 ton road, and that it was an engineering problem and should not have been assessed at all. In response to this position, City Engineer John Badalich prepared a letter which outlines the events that took place in 1977 and confirms that the road design originally placed within the Oakwood Industrial Park was meant to be a 7 ton design and not a 9 ton design. The original feasibility study for the Oakwood Industrial Park proposed sewer and water improvements along with storm sewer iuprovements and a permanent 9 ton road design with curb and gutter. Due to the high cost of the curb and gutter and otorin sewer project, the bituminous paving was originally eliminated from the project and was intended to only have a gravel road along Chelsea Road and Thomas Park Drive. After the utility work was bid the Council later authorized a change order which did include paving Chelsea Road to the reservoir site frmn County Road 117 and a portion of Thomas Park Drive. This change order was designed as a 7 ton project, as was the balance of any street construction done within the Oakwood Industrial Park. Wolfsteller went on to state that although this information is now presented after the assessment hearing, the Council did request that this information be researched and provided for review. Although the assessment roll has been adopted for the project, the Council always has the option to hold a reassessment hearing should it find new information or costs that should have been assessed. Wolfsteller explained that although Council may have felt that they were treating Mississippi Drive residents equal with Oakwood Industrial Park in that both received a 208 assessment for their work, it actually turns out now that the Oakwood properties are paying $1.75 per front foot, whereas Mississippi Drive residents were charged $4.91 per foot. As you may recall, in discussing how the Mississippi Drive project should have been assessed, it was decided that the under drain system and the major street construction that was necessary should have been placed on advalorem taxes and that we can now only charge Mississippi Drive for typical overlay costs. When this cost turned out to be less than 206 of the project cost it was determined that the assessment had to be at least 206. Basically by lowering the Oakwood Industrial Park assessment from 506 to 206 Council In affect has charged fc- tha IaCm:atrial Fark o.arlay at lcza than half of what the overlay was charged to the Mississippi Drive residents. W 92 Council Minutes - 10/23/89 Based on the information supplied by John Badalich there is even rationale for charging 1008 of the overlay in Oakwood Industrial Park, as they technically never paid for a 9 ton road and this could have been considered an improvement rather than an overlay. Finally, Wolfsteller noted that staff is a little uncomfortable with the policy used in assessing the overlay for the industrial Park and that Council will be looking at an overall assessment policy in the near future. In light of this we wanted to make Council aware of the current inequity that resulted from lowering the Oakwood Assessment to 208 and that they now are paying quite a bit less than Mississippi Drive residents. Dan Blonigen noted that the original road was designed for 7 ton capacity and that it was his recollection that when the project was undertaken the affected property owners wanted the original 9 ton road reduced to the 7 ton. Fran Fair asked Dan Blonigen if he was sure that he had his facts straight. Dan Blonigen said "Yes.". Warren Snith asked "Why do the streets strengths vary in that area?". OSM Engineer Dan Cling noted that the street strength depends on the thickness of the asphalt combined with the quality of the road base. Both components of a street may vary throughout the length of the street. In this situation portions of the roadway exceed the 7 ton specification. Dan Blonigen noted that there is a big difference between the downtown property owners and the industrial owners in to nos of direct benefit created by improvement projects. It was his view that road improvements provide a greater direct benefit to industrial users than comercial users and therefore roads iiproved in the industrial areas should be financed to a greater degree by the property owners. Blonigen reiterated that he is opposed to the previously adopted assessment roll which called for a 70/90 split of the Industrial Park overlay. Warren Smith noted that he would like to see efforts made to establish a policy for street assessments. After discussion, motion made by Dan Blonigen and seconded by Shirley Anderson to call for a reassessment hearing to correct the assessment formula for Oakwood Industrial Park street construction and to return to the 50/50 split of project costs as originally agreed upon at the outset of the project. voting in favor: Dan Blonigen, Shirley Anderson, Ken Maus. Opposed: Warren Snith, Fran Fair. 12. Consideration of assigning costs to study feasibility of extending public iinprovements to the Marvin Road/H14hland Heishts area and consider authorizing study contingent on financial contribuition by developer. Assistant Administrator O'Neill explained that George Rivera requested that City Cnuncil direct the rity Engineer to coinrlete a feasibility study which would outline the costs of providing public service to the properties located along Marvin Road. O'Neill asked Council to review O Council Minutes — 10/23/89 the feasibility study cost estimate and determine what portion of the cost should be paid by Rivera and what portion should be paid by the City based on relative benefit of any improvements in the area. O'Neill reported that staff recommnends that a feasibility study be conducted for costs not to exceed $3,000 contingent on the developer paying 758 of initial cost, or $2,250. After discussion, motion inside by Fran Fair and seconded by Shirley Anderson to direct OSM to complete a service area update and utility feasibility study for the subject area at a cost not to exceed $3,000 contingent on the developer paying 758 of initial costs or $7,250. Motion carried unanimously. 13. Consideration of bills for the month of October. Motion wade by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Dan Blonigen to pay the bills as presented. Motion carried unanimously. 14. Other matters. Assistant Administrator O'Neill informned Council that the City has been invited to participate in the Train 250 Ride Across Minnesota. The Multiple Sclerosis Society is sponsoring the event in conjunction with the Celebrate Minnesota prograin. It is expected that 1,500 bike riders from the Upper Midwest will participate in the event. Monticello participation to consist of providing food, entertaimmnent, and overnight facilities for the cyclists. After discussion, motion made by Shirley Anderson and seconded by Warren Smith to participate in the Train 250 Ride Across Minnesota and to direct staff to work with the Chamber of Connerce on this matter. Motion carried unanimously. Assistant Admninitstrator O'Neill requested that Council adopt the official namne of the transit system that will begin December 1, 1989. The namo suggested by the Monticello Transportation Advisory Commnittee is "Monticello Heartland Express". Council adopted this namne by consensus. Admninistrator Wolfsteller requested that Council establish a date for a budget workshop and public hearing. As a result of the discussion the budget workshop was scheduled for 7 o'clock, December 4th, with the public hearing on the budget scheduled for 8 o'clock, December 4th. There being no further discussion, mneeting was adjourned. Je f O'Neill Assistant Administrator Council Agenda 11/13/89 4. Public Hearing on the adoption of a supplemental assessment roll for the 89-03 Improvement Project (Oakwood Industrial Park Overlay). Consideration of adopting an assessment roll for certification to County Auditor. (R W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the October 10th Council meeting, an assessment roll was adopted for the Oakwood Industrial Park for the 89-03 Project covering the recent bituminous overlay. Some property owners affected by the assessment from the Industrial Park questioned the rationale for assessing 508 of the project costs for increasing the road tonnage limit when they felt the initial project constructed in the late 70's was always planned for a 9 ton road. Because of the apparent uncertainty over whether the initial design was rated at 7 ton or 9 ton, the Council adopted the assessment roll at a lower figure of only 208. At the last Council meeting, the Council was supplied with information from our City Engineer, John Bidalich, indicating that the original bituminous paving within the Oakwood Industrial Park was always planned and designed for a 7 ton capacity. According to the letter from OSM, a feasibility study was prepared by OSM covering sewer and water extensions within the Industrial Park along with bituminous paving which included curb and gutter and storm sewer improvements estimated at a total cost of $800,000. At the public hearing held on April 25, 1977, the Council and the property owners reviewed the estimated project cost and tabled any action until May 9, 1977, at which time the Council ordered preparation or plans and specs for servicing Oakwood Industrial Park with water and sanitary sewer only with bituminous paving, curb and gutter, and storm sewer improvements being deleted from the project. According to the minutes of the May 9th Council mewing, George Phillips, representing Oakwood Industrial Park, requested that the storm sewer, and curb and gutter improvements be eliminated from the project to lower the cost. This appears to substantiate Mr. Bidalich's record of the events. Although the elimination of bituminous surfacing under this project does not necessarily mean the change order approved later adding bituminous paving was only designed at 7 ton, it has always been OSM's recommendation on other projects that the 9 ton design would be achieved when curb and gutter was installed by adding an additional bituminous overlay to the existing pavement. It seems to indicate that when the chango order occurred on September 26, 1977, adding bituminous paving along a portion of Chelsea Rd and newly platted Theme Park Drive without the installation of curb and gutter that it would have nnly been designed to a 7 ton capacity to allow for a 9 ton capacity to be reached when (and if) curb and gutter was ever installed later. In light of the action taken at the last Council meeting, I have prepared an additional supplemental assesmmnt roll for all of the parcels within Oakwood Industrial Park for the additional 308 of the project cost that was eliminated during the original assessment hearing. All property owners again were notified of tonight's public hearing and were given a brief explanation as to why the Council was considering a reassessmmont for this project. After receiving additional input from the public concerning this proposed reassessment, the public hearing can then be closed and the council can mnnider adopting the additional supplemental ansesament roll as prepared or altering it in any way you determine feasible. Should the additional 308 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 of the project be assessed, the assessments would not be payable until the year 1991, as we have already missed the cutoff date for certifying for next year's taxes. This does not cause any problem, only that a one year delay is expected. In addition, this supplemental assessment would only be spread over 10 years rather than 15, as was the case with the first assessment roll to coincide with the length of our bond sale. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Adopt the supplemental assessment roll for the Oakwood Industrial Park Overlay Project as prepared and adopt the resolution certifying the same to the County Auditor for collection beginning in the year 1991. 2. Amend the assessment roll if necessary and then adopt. 3. Do not adopt the assessment roll. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the information supplied by the City Engineer and in ury review of the minutes and supporting data during 1977 when the initial bituminous paving took place in the Industrial Park, I do believe that the roads were originally only designed for 7 ton capacity to allow for the ultimate 9 ton design to be achieved when curb and gutter and a final overlay lift was installed. During the original project in 1977, the Industrial Park had very little activity and the owners of the Industrial Park were concerned of the larger project cost being a burden on them until more development occurred. Because of this, it does appear that assessing even 50% of this recent overlay is a fair allocation because if it had been done originally in 1977, the property owners would have paid 100%. In corrmpering this project to a streetscape project, you could assume that the streetscape project entailed replacement of existing sidewalks, whereas the bituminous overlay in the Industrial Park was done to bring up the road limits to the intended design capacity.

Ken Maus, Mayor Rick Woirsteller City Administrator 6. Consideration of Extenains Sewer and Water, - Oakwood Industrial Park and West of Hillcrest Addition. Petitions have been received by the city from the Oakwood Industrial Park and John Sandberg requesting sewer and water extensions to their respective properties. John Badalich, city engineer, prepared a preliminary report on the above extensions. (See supplement 4-11-77 #3.) Sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, street and appur- tenant work to serve a portion of the Industrial Park was estimated to cost $802,000.00 with approximately $296,000 placed on ad valorem taxes. Sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer and street work to serve approximately 32 lots in a development proposed by John Sandberg, west of Hillcrest Addition was estimated at $160,000.00 with approximately $32,000 picked up by ad valorem taxes. Motion was made by S. Hall, seconded by D. Blonigen and unan- imously carried to adopt a resolution ordering Orr-Schelen- Mayeron to prepare a feasibility report on extending sewer, water, storm sewer and street improvements to Oakwood Indus- trial Park and Mr. Sandberg's development, and providing for a public hearing on said improvements on April 25, 1977 at 7:30 P.M.

Consideration of Sanitar/Sewer ESrtension to Oakwood Industrial Park and Along County Road 111 to Hwy. 25, Water Main Extension, Street Irmrovement and Storm Sewer. At the last council meeting, John Sadalich presented a feasibility report on extending sewer, water and street improvements to the Oakwood Industrial Park. George Phillips, representing Oakwood Industrial Park, inquired as to whether the storm sewer and curb and gutter could be eliminated from the improvement project along with a portion of the proposed water mains which serve the purpose of looping the water mains only. Mr. Phillips also inquired as to the possibility of extending water service only this summer if the sewer could not be constructed. John Badalich, city engineer, indicated that he would report back to the council on the feasibility of eliminating a portion of the looped water mains in Oakwood, and that water service could be installed separately, but would be more costly. S. Hall entered a motion, second by A. Grimsmo to adopt a resolution ordering O.S.M. to prepare plans and specifications for servicing Oakwood Industrial Park with water, and sanitary sewer only. noting in favor: C. Johnson, S. Hall, A.

Consideration of Adopting Resolution Aporovinq Plans & Speci_ficatinns and Directin¢ the Advertisement for Con- struction Bids on the 1077-1 Sanitary Sewer, Streets and Watermain Improvement Prnjecr.. John Badalich, city engineer, reviewed the plans for constructing sewer, water and street improvements for Oakwood Industrial Park and along Matthew Circle in Ritze Manor. The estimated cost of the improvements was placed at approximately $570,000. Gene Walters made a motion, second by P. white and unani- mously carried to adopt a resolution approving plans and specifications and advertising for bids on the 1977-1 Sanitary Sewer, Streets and Watermain Improvement Project. The bids would be returnable September S, 1977 and could be awarded at the September 12, 1977 council meeting. {See resole,r.ion 1077 ,}11). C4) i 7. Consideration of Awarding Contract on 1977-1 Improvement Project. I�? On 9-8-77, bids were opened on the 1977-1 Sanitary Sewer, Water qly Main and Street Improvement Project with the lowest apparent bidder being Arcon Construction Co. of Mora, MN. with a bid of $353,616.95• (See Supplement 9-12-77 #5). Estimated cost of this project for construction was 5462,000 so the bid is over 5100,000 less than projected. P. White entered a motion, second by G. Walters and unanimously carried to award the contract for construction on the 1977-1 Sanitary Sewer, Watermain and Street Improvement project to Arcon Construction Co. in the amount of S353,616 -95- 9A 16. Consideration of Change Order - 77-1 Sewer & Water Project. A motion was made by G. Walters, second by D. Blonigen and unanimously carried to authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for black - topping Chelsea Road and the new road proposed for construction under the 77-1 Sewer and Water Improvement Project. 9. Consideration of Change Order BlacktoppinR of Certain Streets in Oakwood Industrial Park. At the council's September 26, 1977 meeting, John Badalich was directed to prepare plans and specifications for blacktopping Chelsea Road from the water reservoir to the intersection of Chelsea Road with Oakwood Drive (County Road 117) and the blacktopping of the two newly created roads in Oakwood Industrial Park. The total construction cost, based on unit prices received from Arcon Construc- tion, onstructtion, would be 542,072.00. A motion was made by P. White, second by D. Blonigen and unanimously carried to adopt a resolution approving the plans and specifications and change order #1 with Arcon Construction in the amount of 5!,2,072.00 as part of the 1977-1 i=rovement project for blacktopping streets in Oakwood Industrial Park. (See Resolution 1977 A28). U Council Agenda — 11/13/89 5. Continuation of public hearing for sanitary sewer extension on Oakwood Drive. (J.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the last meting, the City Council continued the public hearing for the sanitary sewer extension due to lack of cormnents from Stuart Hoglund. Jeff O'Neill has been in contact with Stuart Hoglund, and I spoke with Stuart on Thursday, November 2. Stuart indicated that he had not missed the meeting intentionally and will make every effort to be at Monday evening's meeting, even though he has a slight conflict with another meeting. Stuart stated he was somewhat disturbed that the City was proposing to extend sanitary sewer to a large piece of property of his when the innediate need was only for a couple of individuals such as the auction house property and the old Heskin's Electric building. He stated that he had no irmnediate needs for sanitary sewer on his property. Stuart went on to state that he was under the impression that his property was unbuildable because of correspondence from the City Engineer a few years ago concerning a piece of property on Cedar Street, which denoted storm water drainage problems. it is his opinion that the City cost him a sale of a portion of his property by bringing to light coiaplications from storm runoff when development occurs. Stuart indicated that the City should be looking at solving the overall storin drainage problems in the area prior to doing anything with the sanitary sewer extension. I tried to explain to Stuart that the original correspondence from the City Engineer was not to inhibit development of the property but merely to point out the need to address the storm water runoff situation either by elevating the property or by installing storm water retention ponds on site. Because the City is concerned that storm water be properly handled does not mean that the property is undevelopable. Stuart went on to say that he felt that storm water issues in and about the freeway and Highway 25 have been a mess for years and that the City has not properly handled these in the past, and it should be our concern to straighten out this mess first. I asked Stuart if he would be in favor of the project if the assessments were deferred under such a program as Green Acres. lie indicated that the property could meet Green Acres but that with the interest accruing, this would be just as bad as no deferment at all. Stuart indicated that he would like to sell the property and asked if the City would be willing to purchase it. I informed Stuart that I did not know of any needs of the City in that area and, therefore, doubted whether the City would be interested. I informed Stuart that he could pursue that with appropriate City staff if so desired. Stuart stated that he would be in favor of the proposed newer extension if the City would help him develop his property so that it could be sold. He did not go into great detail as to what he meant by assist with developing tho property but indicated he would make every effort to come to Monday evening'a meeting. Council Agenda - 11/13/89 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: The alternatives are relatively the same as those included in the original agenda item for the public hearing. There are essentially two issues in regard to this item. one is the environmental issue and iimnediate needs, and the other is the financial burden of extending city utilities past a property that has no immediate needs. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: From a public works standpoint, the project is feasible; and from an envirorunental standpoint, it is needed. It is unfortunate that it was not put in with the original improvements on Oakwood Drive and in the industrial park in the late 1970'x. From a policy and political standpoint, it is much more difficult to deal with, even though the benefits of the project would be easy to demonstrate. No matter which way the Council decides, there will be financial burdens on property owners. It is difficult to determine which is in the overall best interest of the City of Monticello as well as the involved property owners. D.

Applicant, Brad and Cindy Fyle. (J.O.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Brad and Cindy Pyle request a conditional use permit which would allow an existing house to be converted into a tri-plex. The property on which the tri-plex would be located consists of 22,077 sq ft of area. The minLmim amount of square footage required for a tri-plex is 16,000 sq ft if all three units are two-bedroom units, and 14,000 sq ft if one unit is a two-bedroom unit and the other two units are one -bedroom units. In short, Fyle's have more than the miniimnn amount of land area necessary for a tri-plex. However, the site plan fails to utilize the full land area potential of the property in a manner that will minimize the negative impacts created by the tri -plea. At its regular meeting on November 7, 1989, the Planning Comnission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the site plan prepared by the applicant. As a result of this review, Planning Comnission recomended that Council deny the conditional use request based on the following rationale. Although the property area including Lots A and B are of sufficient size to accoimoodate a tri-plex, the site plan is designed in a manner that does not properly utilize the space available. In other words, despite having two lots to work with, the bulk of the use of the property is confined to one residential lot. It was the view of the Planning Comnission that approval of this conditional use pernit based on this site plan would be contrary to the City Ordinance because the development is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood, the use will tend to depreciate adjoining property, and there is not a demonstrated need for the tri-plex. The site plan submitted shows six parking spaces. Three of the spaces are inside the garage, and three are noted in front of the garage. The plan calla for moving the garage entrance from the front to the side of the garage. In order for vehicles to use the garage, they must enter the side yard and then make a 90 degree turn into the garage. As you can see, this configuration creates garage door openings that actually face the back yard of the property to the west. Planning Crnmnission was concerned that thio arrangement would have a serious negative effect on the adjoining property and it would devalue the property to the west. Planning Comission did not close the door to an approval of this conditional use permit request contingent on development of a new site plan which would call for Lwo suitable usable parking spaces developed in the rear of the property with such spaces gaining street access directly onto Maple Street. u Council Agenda - 11/13/89 B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the conditional use request to allow a tri-plex in an R-2 zone subject to the following conditions: a. No more than four developed parking spaces allowed to front Third Street, including enclosed garage space. b. Garage openings must face Third Street. c. Dirt areas along Third Street driveway shall be sodded by i�V April 30, 1989, and landscaping materials shall be strategically st placed in areas so as to prevent utilization of green area as parking area. { d. Curb cut and bitmninous parking surface with access to Maple Street must be installed and able to accormnodate two vehicles. ca c.>�G'� +L' (�+ra /t;cW This alternative assumes that Pyle will find development of the two e t, parking spaces in the rear of the property as being acceptable. Staff is not sure if Pyle is interested in this option. The Planning Corromission did indicate that approval of the conditional use permit ,T mho ,r,l i from their view would be possible if Pyle developed two parking 11 r� stalls in the rear of the property. 2. Deny the conditional use request to allow a tri-plex in an R-2 zone. E Council refusal to grant this conditional use permit based on the Planning Cormnission's concerns appears consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance requires that each conditional use permit be consistent with geography and character of the neighborhood and must not depreciate adjoining land values. Denial of this permit appears supportable in terns of those criteria. 3. Motion to approve the conditional use permit without modifications to the site plan as proposed. C. STAFF RECOMMEI.'DATION: Staff recomnends that the conditional use permit be denied unless the applicant expresses a willingness to adhere to the conditions listed with option #1. In other words, the character of the neighborhood can be better preserved while allowing a tri-plex to operate if the area behind the house is utilized for off-street parking, and the character of the neighborhood can be further preserved if measures are taken that provide assurance that only four vehicles are parked In the front of the structure. In the event that the tenants of the tri-plex do not utilize the parking spaces to the rear of the property, the City does have the option to withdraw the conditional use permit. If this happens, then Pyle would be required to reduce the number of residential units from three units to two. 7� D.

Consideration of permit which would allow development of a single mobile home site at the West Side Park in Monticello. (J.O.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Some months ago, the Planning Commission and City Council reviewed a request by Don Heikes to install four mobile home sites in the area known as the West Side Park. The request was approved by the Planning Commission subject to the completion of improvements required by City Ordinance which included developmnent of street curb and gutter. Heikes was also required to complete a number of other irriprovemnnts, including development of curb and gutter. Heikes is now submitting a new request to the City of Monticello which calls for development of a single mobile home site rather than four sites as he previously requested. Heikes has indicated to City staff that the cost to develop the property in a manner that would allow development of four mobile home sites cannot be justified by the revenue that he will gain through the development. Therefore, he is asking the City for permission to develop the property as the site for a single mmbile home; and he also asks that the City reduce the required level of improvements associated with the four lot development. Specifically, Mr. Heikes would simply like to extend a private sewer and water line to the mmbile horn site as noted on the attached drawing. Tn addition, a narrow bituminous drive would be created along with a turn -around which would provide access to the site. Planning Connission conducted a public hearing and received testimony from Scott Hill and the Cemetery Association (see attached). No one else testified regarding this matter except Don Heikes. AS a result of this testimony and input from staff, Planning Commission recormanended approval of the permit to add a single mobile homm lot contingent on the developer fulfilling conditions under alternative i1. Please note that Mr. Heikes dgreed to turrply with all of the conditions listed. B. Ar.TERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to Allow expansion of the West Side. Park with the addition of a single mobile home site subject to the following conditions: a. A fire hydrant shall be installed per the direction of the Public Works Director or mobile home site may be located no further than 300 feet from existing hydrant. b. A bituminous driveway shall be Installed to provide access to the mobile have expansion site. c. The trailer shall be on a concrete slab as approved by the Building Inspector. Council Agenda - 11/13/89 d. Electric, phone, and cable lines shall be installed underground. e. A storm shelter shall be provided in the lower level of the duplex which is maintained by the park caretaker living on the upper floor. The shelter shall have a sign placed above the door and all new tenants shall be informed of the emergency shelter. f. Expansion of the mobile home park in this area shall be limited to a single mobile home site. No further requests for additional mobile hone sites shall be approved without meeting all the park expansion requirements. g. Snow removal grounds and driveway maintenance, water and sewer maintenance will be performed by the owner/operator and/or his agents. h. A fence six feet in height shall be installed along the northern edge of the property. The fence shall be 6 feet high and 90% opaque. I. Developer shall install a retaining wall of sufficient height and strength to prevent erosion into the cemetery property. 2. Motion to deny expansion plans. Council could take the view that this proposal could be construed as a foot in the door which would allow enlargement of the park area without first meeting the street curb and gutter requirements. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: It is the Planning Commission's recommendation that the Council approve the expansion subject to the conditions listed. The proposed development of a single mobile home site seems to present potential for a minimmal Impact on the adjoining properties and may serve to entourage better maintendnce of the general area. Due to the fact that a single mobile home site expansion is requested, it is staff's view that the street curb and gutter requirements associated with development of multiple mobile home sites is not appropriate in this case. At the same time, however, development of this mobile hone site far apart from Lhe original aublle home park site presents a unique situation and along with it a unique set of problems. It is staff's view that the potential problems created by this situation can be mitigated if the developer complies with the conditions listed under alternative A1. Therefore, staff and Planning Commission recomend that Council approve this request subject to those conditions. D.

D t6- oj 000 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 9• Consideration of final plat approval for Prairie west subdivision. (J.0.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKCROUND: Some months ago, City Council gave preliminary approval of the Prairie West subdivision. Attached you will find a copy of the final plat which shows the development of seven lots on the property once owned by the Temple Baptist Church. This property is bound on the west by the property once owned by Dan Reed and now owned by Fred Gille, to the north is Highway 75, located to the east of the property is Pinewood Elementary School, and the Monticello Country Club and railroad tracks are neighbors to the south of this property. As you recall, when the Council reviewed the preliminary plat application, it was discovered that Lot 5 of this subdivision did not possess the required front footage on a public street. The ordinance requires that each lot possess at least 52 feet of street frontage. Lot 5 of this particular subdivision has only 32 feet of lot frontage. During the preliminary review, Council approved the concept of granting a variance which would allow the developer to create the lot configuration as described in the preliminary plat. Due to the fact that the proper public hearing notices weren't provided prior to Council's concert approval of the variance, it was necessary to bring the variance issue back to the Planning Cotmnission via the proper process. The Planning Cotmnission did conduct a public hearing and cake a recotmnendation regarding the variance at the previous Planning Cotmnission meeting. The Planning Cotmnission concurred that the variance should be approved. Council now has the option either individually or as a group to appeal the Planning Coitudasion's recommendation that this variance be approved. if one or core of the Council members wish to appeal the decision made by the Planning Cotmnission, then this item will be brought up for formal consideration at the next meeting of the City Council. If no one appeals the Planning Cotmnission's decision, then ODuncil may act to approve the final plat of the Prairie West subdivision. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Motion to approve the final plat of the Prairie west subdivision. �t This alternative assumes that none of the Oouncil members appeal the Planning Crnmnleslon's recommendation regarding the variance, if Planning Cotmntasion's approval of the variance is appealed, then Council can only consider this Matter once the variance, issue is In reviewed at the subsequent meeting of the City Council. Oouncil �o 4 approved the preliminary plat without making any changes. Therefore, Capproval of the final plat should be a foregone conclusion. 10 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 2. Motion to deny approval of the final plat of the Prairie West subdivision. Except for the variance request, this plat appears to meet all land use requirements associated with an R-2 development. In addition, according to the City Engineer, it is feasible to develop the property as platted. There appears to be no reason to select this alternative. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Unless Council has a change of heart regarding the variance request, it is recommended that a motion be made to approve the final plat of the West Prairie subdivision. D.

Public hearing - A simple subdivision request to allow a B-3 (highway business) commercial lot to be subdivided into two comercial lots. A variance request to allow a zero lot line setback requirement. Applicant, The Lincoln Commmpanies. (G.A.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: The Planning Commnission will be reviewing this item at a public hearing iimnediately prior to the Council meeting. The Lincoln Companies, owners of the Monticello Mall, are proposing a simple subdivision as described in Outlot A to subdivide the existing mall and the area within description A from the unplatted property which was purchased to the west of the call. The proposed subdivision will create a separate parcel on which the addition will be placed. The separate identity created will allow the developer to obtain the necessary financing. The need for a variance to the side yard setback requirement is needed, as a part of the westerly portion of the lot line, which is described under description A, will actually be the east wall for the new K -Mart store. The reason you see a variance along with the simple subdivioion request is to allow a zero lot line side yard setback requirement for a portion of this westerly property line of description A. Prior to further subdivision of this property, the owners should corn up with a formal subdivision request for this area. The rationale behind this is that with the creation of these unplatted lots, we end up with very lengthy metes and bounds descriptions, and that's not good zoning practice. However, in this case a siuple subdivision is allowable on a one time basis with certain conditions. Mother concern that the City staff has is if the K -Mart store actually does not become a reality, the minimwm we should have is the dedication of streets and easements associated with the original curved road aligrunent. This is the layout which goes around the Tom Holthaus property, and that area should be dedicated to the City for permanent street and utility easement purposes. If, however, the K -Mart store does become a reality and the developer chooses to go with a straight 7th Street version to Minnesota Street, we then could vacate those public street and utility easements that were dedicated to the City. The City does not want to create the image that we want to play hardball with the developers, who are also the owners of the existing moll and the area proposed to be developed. We do want to look out for the best interest of the City should something not transpire with the proposed K -mart project. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the siuple subdivision request to allow a B-3 (highway business) commnercial lot to be subdivided into two commercial lots. 12 Special Planning Coimnission/Council Agenda - 11/13/89 2. Deny the simple subdivision request to allow a B-3 (highway business) co:mnercial lot to be subdivided into two co:mnercial lots. 3. Approve the simple subdivision request to allow a B-3 (highway business) co:mnerciai lot to be subdivided into two cotmaerciai lots with the following conditions: a. Prior to recording of this simple subdivision, the owners/developers dedicate to the City of Monticello for street and utility purposes sufficient right-of-way as described or laid out by our consulting engineering ficin, OSM, for the existing layout of the extension of west 7th Street, which would go around the existing Tom Holthaus property. b. Prior to anymore subdividing of the property by a simple subdivision request, the owners create a co maercial subdivision creating blocks and/or lots for the entire property which they own, that being the Monticello Mall and the Country Kitchen complex, the proposed new K -Mart store, and the proposed land area that would be left after the street right-of-way is taken out in whichever layout is chosen. 4. Approve the variance request to allow a zero lot line side yard setback requirement. 5. Deny the variance request to allow a zero lot line aide yard setback requirement. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: city staff recoimnends 93 and 64 above subject to the conditions listed. D.

JbaivieiOo pimple a 'its OJO: a Council Agenda - 11/13/89 tt. Consideration of renewing the 1990 fire contract with Silver Creek Township. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: For the past six years, the joint fire department has contracted with Silver Creek Township for fire protection under three-year contracts. The current contract expires at the end of this year, and a cost estivate has been prepared for a contract renewal utilizing the fair share format that the City of Monticello currently uses in determining Monticello Township's share of the fire department cost. The fair share format utilizes the assessed valuations of the City of Monticello along with Monticello Township and Silver Creek Township and also takes into account the total manhours spent in each location fighting fires over a ten—year history. These two categories, assessed valuations and mDnhour cost, are averaged out to determine each entity's share of the total cost to be split. In utilizing our 1990 budge, the fair share format indicated that Silver Creek Township should be charged $9,908 for the year 1990. Silver Creek Township has preferred a three-year contracts and as such, it is reco;mnended that this $9,900 figure be inflated by 5 percent per year, which would amount to an average annual cost of $10,411. This information was supplied to the Silver Creek Township Board for their review. Based an the number of housing units located within our fire district for Silver Creek Township, this amounted to approximately $22 per parcel. The joint fire department services approximately one-half of Silver Creek Township, with the other half being provided protection by Maple Lake Fire Department. Maple Lake charges $25 per parcel that contains a building; and after the Township Board reviewed my cost proposal, they felt it would be easier and shriller to have the same $25 charge be used in both fire districts. For the year 1989, there were approximately 440 parcels in our fire district that contained a building, and this would aimunt to the annual charge being approximately $11,000 per year if this same format was used. This turns out to actually be a little higher than what I was proposing, and it appears reasonable for our contract to be renewed at this rate. A copy of the proposed contract has been reviewed by the Joint Fire Board and has been submitted to the Monticello Township Board for their approval, as all parties must sign the new contract. B. ALTERNATIVE. ACTIONS: 1. The first alternative would be to approve renewing a three-year contract with Silver Creek Township for fire protection utilizing the $25 per parcel charge which would amount to approximately $11,000 annually. 14 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 2. Do not enter into a new contract for fire protection - Does not seem to be an option since Silver Creek Township does need fire protection, and our department is willing to serve them. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As I indicated above, calculating the annual cost for Silver Creek Township utilizing the fair share formula over a three year period amounted to only $10,411. Since Silver Creek Township would prefer to have a charge similar to what they are experiencing from Maple Lake Fire Department, it is approximately $600 more per year in revenue than what I had anticipated. As a result, there appears to be no reason why we would not wish to amend the contract to utilize this $25 per parcel fee. In addition, new construction that takes place within Silver Creek Township would be automatically added to the contract over the three year life, and we should realize the $11,000 annual fee to be increased in the fut-ire years. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of proposed contract; Calculations under the fair share format. 15 FIRE PR0—ECTION AGREEMENT This ACREEMENT between the City and Township of Monticello, Monticello, Minnesota, hereafter referred to as the JOINT FIRE DEPARTMEN^., and the Township of Silver Creek, hereafter referred to whether in whole or in part as the TOWNSHIP, both agree as follows: ARTICLE I The JOINT FIRE DEPARTMENT agrees to furnish fire service and fire protection to all properties subject to the teens of this agreement, within the TOWNSHIP area, said area being set forth in EXHIBIT A, attached hereto.

Consideration of approving on -sale liquor license transfer Comfort Inn. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Mr. Robert Eidsvold of Rogers, Minnesota, has made application to the City for permission to transfer the liquor license, including Sunday Liquor, for the Oakwood Comfort Inn into his naive for the balance of the term expiring July 1, 1990. Mr. Eidsvold has apparently purchased the Oakwood Inn from Stuart Hoglund and family and will be assuming ownership December 1, 1989. Mr. Eidsvold has completed the necessary applications and supplied a surety bond and liability insurance certificate. A background check on Mr. Eidsvold history has been completed by the Wright County Sheriff's Department with no noted convictions of felonies or violations that would prohibit the City Council from approving the transfer. The application along with the surety bond and certificate of insurance will be submitted to the Liquor Control Division for their approval if the transfer is approved by the City Council. Since the license fee has been paid in full by the Comfort Inn until July 1, 1990, there would not be any additional fees involved for Mr. Eidsvold since the Comfort Inn has sold the motel with the liquor license included and will not be requesting a refund. This liquor license transfer has been published in the Monticello Times as a public hearing allowing any affected resident to voice their opposition or support. This meets the requirements of our own ordinances and State Statutes. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the transfer of the on -sale and Sunday liquor license for the Comfort Inn to Mr. Robert D. Eidsvold from Stuart Hoglund effective December 1, 1989. 2. Do not approve the transfer. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff can find no reason why the Council would not want to approve the transfer of this existing on -sale liquor license to Mr. Eidsvold for the Comfort Inn. The background check has not turned up any negative information that would affect this licenrn^ at tho present timet. As a result, the transfer is reconnended with no additional fees since Oakwood is not requesting a refund for the balance of the year. D.

Consideration of renewing contract operation of. the City's wastewater treatment plant with Professional Services Group. (J.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: It has been slightly over 3 years since Professional Services Group entered into partnership with the City of Monticello for contract operations of our wastewater treatment plant. Some of you may recall the reasons why we considered a public/private partnership for operation of the wastewater treatment plant at that time. To refresh the memory of those individuals and also give insight to the Council members who were not involved, I list the following reasons found in the .July 2, 1986, Special Commnittee Report to the City Council. 1. Cost being incurred to (run) the plant at efficiencies much greater than that required by the discharge standards. 2. Lack of (long-term) maintenance of plant equipment and facilities. 3. Staffing deficiencies due to employee absences and request from treatment plant management for additional personnel. (The plant was staffed with 4 individuals plus part-time personnel. A fifth full-time eirployee was requested.) 4. Lack of adequate training of present staff. 5. Lack of proper sludge management techniques being practiced at the plant. 6. Improper operation of various plant equipment items, which required an increase in gas and electrical consumption, with resulting increase in utility costs. 7. Improper management at the plant. 8. Poor record keeping practices. 9. Lack of commminication between (plant) and (City Hall). For continued operation of the treatment plant by the City, a 1987 budget of $241,100• was proposed. This figure was for staffing with the existing four treatment plant personnel and a part-time worker. No ammunt was budgeted for the fifth person requested by treatment plant staff. A contract was negotiated with Professional Services Group for an annual cost of $265,000. The City was rebated approximately $3,000 during the first year of operation for unspent maintenance funds. The negotiation commnittee and the City Council at that timne felt the difference between the two coats of $23,900 was justified, as the contract with Professional Services Group would address the nine problems as previously addressed and would result in long termn overall lower costs and the safeguarding of the City of Monticello's investment in its wastewater treatment facility. In addition, workers compensation and City Hall staff support were a major part of the $23,900, making the actual difference much less. -NOTE: Excluding workers componsation insurance and City Hall support timet. 17 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 The past three years with PSG, while a significant improvement over past operations by the City, has not been without problems. The three most significant problems that occurred were the following: After 12 months of operation by PSG, the manager was promoted and replaced within a period of two weeks with a less experienced operator/manager from another facility. In July of 1988, Dave Stromberg, a seasonal City employee, rolled over the sludge nurse truck on East County 39 while he was a part-time employee for Professional Services Group. Odor problems at the wastewater treatment plant in the fall of 1988 and again in the summer of 1989. During the above three significant incidents, Rick and I found PSG very open, candid, and cooperative in resolving the problems. When Kelsey McGuire replaced Steve Sunt, City staff negotiated a verbal commnitment from PSG that they would never again change the manager at Monticello without consideration of the City of Monticello. This feature was added to the new proposed contract. For the sludge truck, things were a little bit more complicated. PSG, however, demonstrated their willingness to deal iimnediately with the problem and brought two semi -tractors and drivers from another facility to haul sludge at no cost to the City of Monticello. The City rented two trailers during that period of time. Although the City felt it was not responsible for the sludge truck accident, our insurance trovers the wastewater treatment plant and all the vehicles and, therefore, paid for the damiage. our insurance company indicated that the City should have had in place a driver certification programn for City emeployees as well as any contract operators who may use the City vehicles. In a spirit of cooperation, PSG agreed to pay for our deductible and the difference between replacing the frame on the truck as requested by the City versus straightening the framne as allowed by the insurance company. PSG also initiated a truck driver's school taught by an outside instructor. Three City employees attended the school along with PSG eirployees, and we now have a certification programn in place. As an alternative, the City considered leasing the rolling stock to PSG and asked them to provide insurance through their own carrier. We learned that the cost of PSG providing insurance for these leased vehicles would be more than three tions what the City of Monticello is currently paying. Consequently, the insurance increases did not appear to be justified. City staff is of the opinion that the existing certification program for drivers will significantly reduce our risk. The third significant issue discussed above is the odor control problems. As you may recall, we were having significant problems in the fall of 1988. PSG'a staff and the Monticello staff were struggling with attempts to identify and reduce odors at the treatment plant. At the City's request, PSG brought in representatives from corporate headquarters and other wastewater treatment plants and identified the trickling filters as the drea releasing odurs. PSG is Council Agenda - 11/13/89 agreed to increase their operational costs in an attempt to reduce odors immediately, to study the problem, and determine a cost effective method of dealing with the odors. They accoumplished this in a relatively short period of time, and PSG recommended the installation of an economical spray mist odor control system for the trickling filters. This system was installed through a joint effort of City staff and PSG and has been effectively controlling odors generated from the trickling filters ever since, with the City picking up the chemical costs for the system. This summer, beginning in July, odors again were being released from the City's wastewater treatment plant. This time the odors were unstable, inconsistent, as they mysteriously disappeared during attempts to investigate their origin. Several key factors made tracing the odors a monumental task. Three parameters had changed during the summer. First, the nuclear power plant was down for refueling and was generating two to three times the aimunt of wastewater normally produced. Sunny Fresh Foods had altered its waste stream and installed pretreatment equipment that changed the makeup of their wastewater, but was yet having problems meeting effluent standards. Lastly, the City put two new wells on line which slightly altered the characteristic of the City's water itself. PSG set up a chemical feed system at the Sunny Fresh Food plant in an attemmpt to tie up hydrogen sulfide gases in the wastewater stream, as it appeared the odors were collection system generated and released immediately upon reaching the treatment plant. Mysteriously, the odors diminished, giving an indication of the chemical's effectiveness. However, when the chemical feed system was stopped, the odors did not reappear, nor did any appreciable aim unt of sulfides in the wastewater. A couple of weeks later, just as mysteriously as they ended, the odors began being generated again. Chemicals were fed at the head of the treatment plant but were not proven totally effective. Treatment plant processes were modified and changed in attempts to make the release of hydrogen sulfide gases less possible. Again, the odors continued to come and go at odd hours and times, in late August and early October, PSG commnissioned ODIFAS, an odor consultant coumpany, to perform an analysis of the wastewater treatment plant and its incoming wastewater in atteapts to determine possible causes and remedies. During the same period of time, the City staff and PSG performed a joint, thorough examination of total sulfides in the wastewater through ut our collection system, as well as strategic points at the wastewater treatment plant. The results of the testing and studies will be presented to the Council in the near future. The point of this discussion is that more efforts have been made to identify, control, and reduce odors at the wastewater treatment plant in the past year than have ever been made before since the initial design of the wastewater treatent plant. In addition, the new proposed contract with PSG has been modified so that PSG places odor control at the wastewater treatment plant on an equal priority with the quality of water being discharged into the Mississippi River. For the past three months, Rick and I have been involved in negotiations with PSG to clarify and modify the existing contract. A copy of the proposed contract was given to the, council at the October 23 meeting. The following are key points or changes in the contract other than those referenced above: 19 Council Agenda 11/13/89 2.2 The maintenance and repair budget has been modified from $25,000 to $30,000 annually. This figure includes no project related labor, which is borne by PSG. Money not spent is returned to the City. However, the City is responsible for repairs above $30,000 when caused by normal wear and tear. PSG pays for any repairs from lack of maintenance or negligence out of their own pocket. 2.11 The City has negotiated a provision for the minimum qualifications for the operators of the wastewater treatment plant. These are over and above the requirements by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. 2.17 The City has increased the permitted distance from sludge disposal sites to the treatment plant from six to ten miles to include a newly acquired site in Silver Creek Township. 4.1 The annual compensation has been increased to $324,070, with an annual 3.58' CPI increase, which excludes electricity, natural gas, and chlorine and inaintenance, which are included elsewhere. 4.4 The escalator clause for increases in electrical and natural gas costs have been reduced based upon the new base amount. Chlorine has also been added to this section. 7.1 This term of the contract has been changed from 3-1/4 years to 5 years. 7.4 The cancellation clause for no cause has been rewritten to provide a performance related cancellation cause. Appendix 8 The dog pound has been specifically excluded from PSG's liability. This is a clarification issue. Appendix C.4 The base loadings at the wastewater treatment plant have been changed to reflect recent changes and have allowed for reasonable growth without a change in scope of services. The triggers for BOD and total suspended solids have been reduced by 5%, and the formula for a change in scope of services when no agreement can be reached has been added. Appendix I. This section has been added to calculate the CPI annual adjustment. Most of you have probably looked at the figure under 4.1 above of $324,070 and said to yourself, "Wow, what an increaser" I can assure you that this was not the starting figure, and probably represents a figure very close to minimal profitability for Professional Services Group on this project. This is a $59,070 increase over the original contract, but only $39,000 over the 1989 budget figure due to an expected increase in contract price for a change In loadings to the plant. What one oust look at in regard to this figure is the actual increase in cost of goods and services for the period of time of the original contract and 1990 and, in addition, the increased loadings to the -NOTE: variable upon extreme cases. 20 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 wastewater treatment plant, the increasing age of the wastewater treatment plant and its need for additional attention, and the ever changing wastewater stream which is also complicated by odor problems and sludge disposal probleins. one could rationalize that an annual okay CPI increase over half of the original 40 month contract (the $265,000 was an average of the 40 months) and for 1990 would total about $35,500. The remaining $23,570 could be attributed to a change in scope of services at the wastewater treatment plant due to increased loadings and increased efforts in odor control and sludge disposal. This is essentially over simplification but can show some rationale for the increases. One of the questions you may be asking yourself is, "Can we return to operating the wastewater treatment plant ourselves?" The answer is yes. Our contract is so written that upon termination by the City, PSG will assist us in resuming operation. We will be faced with some double operation costs during this time. The City also has right to offer employment to any of PSG's emmtployees. The manager and one of the operators at the wastewater treatment plant are city residents and may be open to an offer of employment from the City of Monticello. The residency of these two individuals is quite interesting, as no manager or operator of the wastewater treatment has lived in the city of Monticello since Walt Mack ran the treatment plant in the 70's. What one must realize, however, is that by hiring our own people again, we would lose the broad spectrum of support services from PSG and would have to duplicate those services with outside services and additional City staff time, especially from City Hall. In addition, it is possible that we could inherit or again develop similar problems at the treatment plant which led us to a public/private partnership several years ago, some of which were related to the need for additional staffing activity, workers comp insurance problems, accountability, and the lack of problem solving capabilities by the staff. we would more than likely again be faced with a union shop at the wastewater treatment plant which would mean an increase in labor costs right up to the manager. In an effort to make a comparison between City operation and PSG operation, Rick and I established a 1990 operation budget for the plant utilizing a fifth individual and outside consultants or contractors to fill In the void left by PSG. The following is that proposed budget and our 1987 proposed budget.

As can be seen by the above budget when compared to the City's original 1987 budget, the most significant increases are noted in labor. The 1990 budget includes a Class A operator/manager at o base salary of $34,000, and four additional employees at the City's prevbiling union wage. Overtime and teiq:)orary salaries have been reduced or not increased because of the additional uunpower provided by one more euployee. in the supplies and other services category, it is proposed to take advantage of the cost saving procedures implemented by PSG in regard to operating supplies and utilities. For the 22 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 purposes of comparison, we have kept the maintenance figure identical to PSG's at $30,000. It should be further noted that our contract allows usto purchase the computer software in use by PSG at the wastewater treatment plant. I have included the software purchase price allowed in our original contract, and I have also included a PC and printer for operating the software. The only possible cuts in the above budget for 1990 would be in the area of salaries. PSG uses 4-1/3 full-time people with 618 of one person in overtime and part-time people. This does not include teirporary transfers for technical issues. We have proposed five full-time people and 29% overtime and part-time. Also, it may be possible to hire etnployees at less than the prevailing union wage, but it is assumed that this would only be a temporary measure and may not be in the best interests of the City, as the quality of the staff may be higher if the prevailing wage is offered. In addition, it would be doubtful whether or not we could attract a quality Class A operator/manager for the wastewater treatment plant at a salary significantly less than $34,000. In order for us to compare the 1990 proposed budget for City operations with PSG's annual figure, certain items must be added to the City's budget. PSG currently pays for workers cote and clerical time/secretarial in their budget. Workers comp insurance based upon the 1990 budget will cost the City approximately $7,214, bringing the total to $310,793. In addition, additional staff time will be needed at City Hall in dealing with the various suppliers in handling the financial data as well as issuing hundreds of vendor checks, payroll checks, report typing, and the like. Rick has estimated the City Hall support necessary to accoiplish these tasks at $9,000 per year. This brings us to a total proposed 1990 City budget of $ 319,793, which is $4,277 less than PSG's operating budget. This does not allow for extra costs for PSG while returning to City operations. The difference between the two would probably grow slightly in the second year due to not having to budget again for the maintenance and operations pac. However, PSG keeps this system updated with their own budget and consequently, one would have to figure a certain amount of dollars for software maintenance and upgrading to keep this system current. PSG las wade at least one major change in this software since the contract began, which pretty much outdated all of the software they started with, and proposes to fully update every two years. Based upon all of the above detailed information, one can state that the City of Monticello, at least in the initial stages, can operate the wastewater treatment plant slightly cheaper than Professional Services Group. However, when one looks at the enormous amount of technical asaialance provided by PSC that the City will no longer have direct access to, the difference becomes minimal. Over the past three years, PSG has paid for and prepared two odor control detailed reports in making recormnendations for remedial action, they have prepared a detailed sludge analysis for the purposes of making preliminary Judgements as to the future of sludge disposal for the City of Monticello, and they have brought forth numerous experts and various pieces of equipment from other plants. In the case of the cotmninutor and booster recirculation pwps, they were able to get these pieces of equipment operating when previous operators had abandoned them, indicating they were inappropriately applied or tnisdesigned, which did not end up being the case. In addition, PSG has brought in a graduated agronomist from another plant to work with our nedtby fdcmts in 23 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 hopes of establishing additional sludge sites. They have upon numnerous times brought personnel up to assist Sunny Fresh in plans for a pretreatment system. It is difficult to measure the value of these outside services. My guess is that the $9,000 to $10,000 in our 1990 budget would not cover replacement services. Certainly, having firsthand knowledge of these incidents sways my opinion toward continued support of the public/private partnership. Either way, the City of Monticello will see an increase in sewer rates. After determining the 1990 budget for the City, based upon the Council's decision on November 13, staff will prepare an agenda item concerning the rate increases. Preliminary estimates are in the neighborhood of 15%. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Approve the new contract with Professional Services Group as presented to the City Council. 2. Continue further negotiations with PSG, either in the form of a reduced contract price or other points dealing with the proposed contract. 3. Continue operations with Professional Services Group on an interim basis and redistribute requests for proposals to other contractors as well as Professional Services Group. 4. Return to City operations of the wastewater treatment plant. This could be done through an interim contract with Professional Services Group to provide us assistance while doing so. C. STAFF REC YMMENDATION: The City Administrator and myself favor continued contract operations of the City's wastewater treatment plant through a private/public partnership with Professional Services Grote as outlined in alternative gl or 12. Although the City staff has been negotiating with Professional Services Group for several months, and we feel that the contract before you is the best compromise we were able to reach, the City Council could request further negotiations with PSG. Indications are, however, that they have not presented an over -inflated budget or contract to us, and there may not be significant room for further negotiation in price. PSG will have representatives available for questions and may wish a few moments to summarize operations past and future. D.

The following are my comments about the contract: a. Paragraphs 2.5 and 2_.7. The contract calls for the use of now software packages. You should make sure that the new packages are equal to or superior to existing software. b. Paragraph 2.17. The sludge disposal radius is increased from 6 to 10 miles. With the disposal problems we are having with the Township, I wonder whether 10 miles is a sutflolent radius. a. Paragraph 2.35. Owner should be changed to read ,City.. d. Paragraph 4.2. Owner should be changed to read City. e. Paragraph 6.2 This Paragraph should be changed to read as follows: CITY agrees to and shall hold PSG harmless from anp.liabiltly or damages for property damage or bodily injury, including death, which may arias from the City.'s negligence under this agreement whether such nagligence by City or by subcontraotion of City. �f. Paragraph 6.5. I recommend that the City's insurance agent give tha City an opinion of the adequacy of Insurance` coverage with respect to 11 this contract. g. Paragraph 7.4. The parties' right to terminate this contract without cause, is eliminated. In place of the previous right, s termination privilege for cause is substituted. The new grounds for termination are two serious performance related incidents within one 60 day period. Examples of what such an incidents are included in the agreement, but what constitutes such an Incident may well be In the eye or the beholder. Such subjective criteria are frequently disputed between parties to a conflict. In short, should the City wish to terminate the contract under this paragraph it will undoubtedly have a fight on its hands. I3 I Page Two Hr. John. Simola November 7,, 1989, . h. Appendix G.

Hayes \ TDH/sem File No. 89-17911 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 14. Consideration of odor control measures for the wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment plant. U.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: From some of our previous agenda items dealing with the renewal of PSG's contract the staff has tried to explain the current odor control problems at the wastewater treatment plant and how efforts to deal with the problem have been less than 1008 successful. We have now received the report from the Davis Process Division, a representative for ODIFAS. Their report centers on an odor control survey and r ecoimnendat ions for an odor control program resulting from an inspection on Oct. 12, 1989. In addition, we have received the test results from samples taken in and about the collection system and the treatment plant immediately following the original survey. In the following paragraphs I will atteupt to present this information as simply as possible. The odor control survey performed by Davis Process Division, who was hired by PSG, was begun at a time in the evening when no unusual odors were present at the wastewater treatment plant. In fact, the inspector was ready to conclude that there were no significant problems. Shortly after 9 pon., October 12th, the on again, off again odors appeared at the wastewater treatment plant during the survey. Mr. Greg Tomlinson has concluded that high aimunts of hydrogen sulfide are being generated in the collection system and are being immediately released at the wastewater treatment plant. Although improvements can be made to the existing scrubber systems at the wastewater treatinent plant through spray water treatment and chemical changes, the plant cannot adequately handle the enormous amounts of hyrogen sulfide being released from the incoming wastewater . It was Mr. Tomlinson's opinion that there are sulfates in the wastewater in significant proportions so that they are being released when coupled with the high BOD waste from local industry, as this waste consumes the dissolved oxygen in the wastewater. Our collection system and wastewater treatment plant tests for sulfates, sulfides, and sulphur, which unfortunately were taken on an evening when no odors were generated during the testing, still show strong evidence that the wastewater coining from Sunny fresh Foods and the Monticello Nuclear Power Plant contain significantly higher amounts of sulfates than other wastewaters. Since these were taken on a good night it is conceivable that much higher levels would be found when odors are being generated. It appears that the combination of the sulfates and the high BOD are causing hydrogen sulfite gases to be released in the collection system for which the wastewater treatment plant is incapable of properly dealing with. Mr. Tomlinson, of the Davis Process Division, has recommended changes for the scrubber system at the wastewater treatment plant. PBG has already begun implementation of those changes and they could possibly be complete by the time you road this agenda supplemnt. For the collection systaia 25 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 they have recommended that we inject large doses of ferrous sulfate. It is most applicable to inject these chemicals into the collection system to inhibit the production of hydrogen sulfite, which not only creates odors, but can decay concrete. Rather than to inject them into the treatment plant where they will treat only the symrmptomn and not the cause, Mr. Tomlinson has recommended chemicals injection as high as 35 gallons per day. with chemical costs of $1.18 a gallon and above, one can see how this could be very expensive, let alone the cost of the hardware or feed system at $13,000. PSG has recommended, and I concur, that we perform additional testing and install a test pilot system to dose the collection system. This test pilot system would cost approximately $1,000 to set up and have a rental rate of $400 per month. The amount of chemical used at $1.18 per gallon would be dependent upon the results of additional testing and of actual conditions noted in the wastewater. Currently the nuclear power plant has reduced its work force down to its normal level and reduced the amount of wastewater coining from its facility. Therefore, this catalyst may have an effect on the overall production of hydrogen sulfite gases. All of the costs for the collection system treatment will be borne by the City and the cost for the modifications and changes at the wastewater treatment plant will be borne by PSG. PSG will assist the City in setting up and assisting our collection personnel with operating the injection system outside the treatment plant. It is easy to see how one might be tempted to install the $13,000 system and begin injecting chemicals at a cost of $35 a day and above. However, at a cost of $12,775 per year for chemicals, let alone a building or feed system for maintenance of the system, it could be very costly indeed and may not be 1008 effective. It therefore seems applicable to proceed with caution to see that hydrogen gases are controlled only when they need to be and at the most economical cost. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Authorize City staff to install a test pilot chemical feed injection system in the collection system with the assistance of PSG at a setup cost of $1,000, plus a rental cost of. $400 per month, plus chemicals as needed at $1.18 per gallon, plus additional testing, as required. At the current time we are asking Sunny Fresh's assistance so that the system may be housed at their location in an existing building. If not, we may have additional costs for a building, etc. 2. Install the system that is recommended by Mr. 'Tomlinson, at an estimated Startup cost of $13,000 plus chemical costs at approximately $1.00 per gallon. Again, we would work with Sunny Fresh to have the system installed at their facility or, if not, another place in the collection system such as the Bridge Park lift station. 26 C Council Agenda — 11/13/89 3. Have PSG make the recommended changes at the wastewater treatment plant, but that the City do nothing in its collection system in hopes that the reduction of sulfate ( from the reduction of workers at the nuclear power plant) will remove the catalyst from production of hydrogen sulfate. C. STAFF RECOPIMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public Works Director that the Council authorize additional testing and the installation of the pilot chemical feed system as outlined in alternative #1. Estimated initial cost of this alternative is in the area of $3,000. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of the odor control report from the Davis Process Division, representative of ODIFAS.

PROCESS div. October 24, 1989 Mr. Kelsie McGuire, Project Manager Professional Services Group, Inc. 1401 Hart Boulevard Monticello, MN 55362 RE: Odor Control Dear Kelsie: Serving the Water Industry Since 1938' P.O. Bos 29 2650 T.11cvam Rend TALLEVAST. FL 34270-0029 813/355.2971 I would like to thank you for your assistance during my visit to your facility. As per our conversation, the following is a report on my hydrogen sulfide survey findings and our recommendations for a total odor control program. HYDROGEN SULFIDE SURVEY REPORT 6 RECOMMENDATIONS i. METHODS A hydrogen sulfide survey was performed at the Monticello, Minnesota - P.S.C. Wastewater Treatment Plant on October 12, 1989. Tasting was done at different times during the day to establish potant-sally high sulfide locations. Analysis was performed using a modified Hach lead -acetate test to measure dissolved hydrogen sulfide levels and Gas -Tec draeger tubes were used for atmospheric concentrations. One cost was performed using a Gas -Tec tube that is designed to measure dissolved hydrogen sulfide. This test was done to verify the accuracy of the Hach loud -acetate method. Other pertinent data and information was collected through discussions with Kelsie McGuire and plant personnel. II. FINDINGS The results of all analysis performed can be found in Exhibit I. The findings of this survey aro as follows: A. GENERAL PLANT ODOR Upon approaching the Treatment Plant on the morning of October 12, 1989, vary little to no odor was apparent. l S) October 26, 1989 Professional Services Group. Inc. Mr. Helsie McGuire, Project Manager Page Two After arriving at the plant, the general odor on the grounds was found to be non-offensive to this surveyor. Prior to my survey, Mr. McGuire and myself went on a plant walk-through. During this walk through, sulfide -type odors were apparent inside: 1) the preliminary building; 2) the diverter building and to the greatest extent in 3) the gravity thickener. A slight "vinegar -type" odor was also noted within the dome of the trickling filters. The general odor on the plant grounds remained non-offensive throughout the day up to my departure at approximately 6:30 p.m. When returning to the plant at approximately 9:30 p.m., a sulfide odor was apparent on Hart Boulevard, south of the treatment plant. Once at the plant, the some odor was very evident, particularly around the primary building. An odor complaint from the Hospital was registered with Mr. John Simolas, the City Public Works Director, who relayed this complaint via telephone to Mr. McGuire at 9:58 p.m. The reason for the increase in odor will be discussed in the sections that follow as the results of the survey are discussed. It should be noted that the general wind direction on October 12, 1989 was from the north to northwest. B. PRIMARY BUILDING Raw wastewater entering this building had an average dissolved hydrogen sulfide concentration of 2.1 ppm. However, the nighttime concentration was 60 times higher than the morning levels, rosulting in more hydrogen sulfide being released into the atmosphere. The odor complaint, registered at 9:58 p.m., was a direct result of the increased level of sulfides entering this building from the collection system. C O/f October 24, 1989 Professional Services Group, Inc. Kelsie McGuire, Project Manager Page Three The plant flow at 11:20 p.m. was 0.5 MCD (which is above the average daily flow) suggesting that the increase in sulfide concentrations was not related to a dramatic decrease in flow. Since a longer detention time in the collection system, and the resultant expenditure of dissolved oxygen, appeared not to be the cause of the increased sulfide concentrations, other contributing factors were explored. Through discussions with Mr. McGuire, I found that a local egg processing company, "Sunny Fresh Eggs", discharged high BOD waste from approximately 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. on a daily basis. Exhibit It shows typical BOD loadings from Sunny Fresh. This high BOD waste is consuming the dissolved oxygen in the wastewater, allowing hydrogen sulfide to be generated earlier and to a greater degree in the collection system. The result is that increased sulfides are entering this building and being released to the atmosphere. C. DIVERTER BUILDING Wastewater entering this building from the raw sewage wetwell had dissolved hydrogen sulfide levels that ranged from 0.2 ppm to 1.0 ppm. These concentrations correspond to, and are a direct reflection on the sulfides entering the plant. The flow entering the diverter structure from the equalization tank contained 1.5 ppm dissolved hydrogen sulfide during both test periods. The detention time involved with the equalization tank will cause additional sulfide generation and concentrations in this flow will depend on the hydrogen sulfide levels entering the tank and the retention time. A Rossvood-Marcinoz spray -mist air scrubber van in operation in this building. At the time of the survey, X -OBJ odor neutralizer was being applied in a central mixing system which foods this and ocher remote scrubbers. The atmosphere sulfide concentrations within this building averaged 5 ppm. while hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the air leaving this scrubber averaged 3.5 ppm. Those levels indicate that the scrubber is not effectively removing hydrogen sulfide. 0 October 24, 1989 Professional Services Group, Inc. Mr. Kelsie McGuire, Project Manager Page Four D. PRIMARY CLARIFIER The effluent from this structure had dissolved hydrogen sulfide concentrations of 0.2 and 0.8 ppm during daytime and nighttime flows respectively. This increase is directly related to raw wastewater sulfide levels. Very little hydrogen sulfide was recorded in the atmosphere. However, if dissolved levels increase, this is a potential hydrogen sulfide release point. E. TRICKLING FILTER Atmospheric hydrogen sulfide concentrations averaged 3 ppm within the dome of the trickling filter. The amount of hydrogen sulfide released here depends on the dissolved sulfides present in the primary clarifier effluent, which again, is directly related to the raw wastewater sulfides. Due to the addition of D.O. through the trickling filter. and the release of existing hydrogen sulfide, no hydrogen sulfide (dissolved or atmospheric) was recorded in the underdrain area. A NuTech Series 900 Odor Control System was in operation in the hundepace of the trickling filter. NuToch's NutralitoO product was being applied through this pressure atomizing system. This chemical seemed to have a slight "vinegar - typo" odor associated with it. F. INTERMEDIATE CLARIFIERS No sulfides ware recorded in this area. G. GRAVITY THICKENER Dissolved sulfides in the gravity thickener averaged 17 ppm. while atmospheric concentrations ranged from 9 to 60 ppm. The 60 ppm reading was recorded during a hose down of the thickener, and the agitation of the surface facilitated the release of the vary volatile dissolved hydrogen sulfide. October 24, 1989 Professional Services Group, Inc. Mr. Kelsie McGuire, Project Manager Page Five The Rosswood Scrubber at this location was also performing very poorly. Air entering and leaving this unit averaged 17 ppm, yielding 0% removal. There were no sulfides associated with the activated sludge portion of this plant. III RECOMMENDATIONS The hydrogen liquid -gas equilibrium is such that dissolved levels that are normally considered low, can produce very high hydrogen sulfide concentrations in the atmosphere. For instance, at 20 degree centigrade the concentration (4 ppm dissolved hydrogen sulfide) recorded at 10:10 p.m. on the raw wastewater could produce as much as 1,000 ppm in the atmosphere. (See Exhibit 111). Due to dilution and dispersion, liquid -gas equilibrium is very seldom achieved except in very confined spaces. However, atmospheric concentrations may be approaching this level in some portions of the gravity sewer, giving potential for severe corrosion as well as odor. With this in mind, Davis Process is pleased to offer the following recommendations: Davis Process recommends that ODOPHOSO, an aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, be applied in the collection system at, or very near, the Sunny Fresh Company. By applying ODOPHOSO at this point, corrosion will be controlled in the collection system and odor will be arrested at the treatment plant. Davie Process offers o package storage and feed system in which the feed pumps are timer -controlled, and deliver product at a rate needed for that time of the day. Based on the data in Exhibit I and 11 an ODOPHOSO feed rate of 27 ml/min would be required from 3:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. a feed rate of 145 ml/min would be needed. These feed rates equate to a total daily feed of 35 gpd. The effects this feed rata will have on the individual odor problem areas, and further recommendations are outlined below. October 24, i989 Professional Services Group, Inc. Mr. Kelsie McGuire, Project "tanager Page Six A. PRELIMINARY BUILDING ODOPHCISO will have precipitated hydrogen sulfide as ferrous sulfide before the wastewater reaches this building. Thus hydrogen sulfide odor and corrosion will be controlled. B. DIVERTER BUILDING Hydrogen sulfide will also be controlled at this location, both in the flow from the raw wet well, as well as in the equalization tank. We would also recommend that the solution being used in the scrubber be changed from X-02) odor neutralizer to sodium hypochlorite. Although there will be very little to no sulfides present. some organic odors may persist and this unit will provide a "polishing" effect. Mr. McGuire stated that maintenance problems were associated with the scrubber units in the past when using sodium hypochlorite. These problems were related to the make-up water source. Iron. and or, manganese was being precipitated and fouling the spray nozzles. In order to avoid or minimize this problem, Davis suggests that routine maintenance and cleaning be stepped up. It is possible that the scrubber units will no longer be needed once the ODOPHOSM feed Is initiated. C. PRIMARY CLARIFIER The collection system feed point will also control hydrogen sulfide at this location. D. TRICKLING FILTERS Hydrogen sulfide release will also be controlled or this locat ion. At this time we would recommend the continued operation of the NuTech system. A further evaluation of its performance can be done at a later data. (S October 24, 1989 Professional Services Group, Inc. Mr. Kelsie McGuire, Project Manage: Page Seven E. GRAVITY THICKENER Assuming that the pH remains above 6.6 in the gravity thickener, sulfide control will also be realized at this location. Nearly all of the iron applied in the collection system will end up in the intermediate clarifier and waste activated sludges, thus being available for sulfide control in this thickener. We also recommend the same scrubber process changes for this scrubber, as was outlined above for the Diverter Building unit. Kelsie.

In gravity sewers flowing less than full, higher velocitieswill result in turbulence -induced reaeration (see Equation 2.14). While this may not affect the rate of sulfide production from the anaerobic sulfide - producing zone in the slime layer, the 00 caused by turbulence -induced reaeration will be used for the oxidation of sulfides in the aerobic zone of the slime layer of in the wastewater stream. 2.3.2.7 Surface Area Factors which affect the pipe surface available for sulfate reduction in a wastewater collection system are flow rete, pipe diameter and energy Oradiont. These elements control depth of flow in the sewer. It follows that, as the depth increases, so does the surface available for development of slimes below the water level. Treatment plant structures such as wet wells. interprocess piping, and junctures that permit the accumulation of solids provide possible sites for sulfide generation. 2.3.2.8 Detention Time As detention time in sewers, force mains. and non- aerated holding basins increases, the oxygen con- sumption increases. the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) decreases, and organic matter becomes in- creasingly solubilized. These conditions favor the activity of the sulfate -reducing organisms. Thus, in the design of collection and treatment systems. minimizing detention time can limit the activity of the Desullavibrio bacteria and thus the rate of sulfide production. 2.3.3 Hydrogen Sulfide Release In enclosed vessels containing dissolved HTS at equilibrium, the concentration of HS gas in the atmosphere will vary with the dissolved HS con- centration according to Henry's Law: K - p (2.17) x where, K e Henry's Low constant, atm p a penial pressure of the gas phase over the solution, atm x a molo fraction of the dissolved gas in the liquid phase, dimensionles_ 10 Figure 2.9 shows the partial pressure of H2S gas as a function of temperature for a range of concentrations of dissolved H=S. At 1 atmosphere of pressure. the partial pressure in millionths of an atmosphere is equal to volumetric concentration in ppm. Thus, at 20cC. 3.0 mg/I of dissolved HTS will be in equilibrium with approximately 780 ppm by volume of gaseous 1-12S. Increasing the temperature decreases the solubility of the gas. and more will be present in the atmosphere. 2.3.3.1 Rate of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Release The extent and rate of HTS gas release to the sewer atmosphere are controlled by the following factors: a. Dissolved Oxygen Sulfides generated in the sulfate -reducing slime layer are likely to be oxidized in the aerobic layer or in tho wastewater stream it the 00 concentration is 1.0 mg/I or greater. If, however, the ORP and 00 are low. some of the sulfide produced will diffuse into the stream. b. pH The dissociation of H2S is dependent upon pH. The dissociation of HS- to H' and S' is of minimal concern, as this is significant only at high pH values. The un- ionized H2S is the only form of sulfide which can be Figure 2.9.

(Udephos) on 10/12/8:3, and the results of analysis of sulfur samples taken by Matt 1'heasen and myself on liD/19/d9. it should also be noted that odor complaints were received during the 140/le/89 survey but not during the 10/19/89 sampling. The following are recommendations on how to proceed based upon those studies. It should also be noted that these studies, although quite valuables amount to only spot checks and that further testing should be performed to get a better handle on actual chemical dosages and food times due to the intermittent nature of the odors. So far, we know that the evening hours between 6100 and 11i0(0 seem to yield the highest frequency of odor complaints. 1) previously, Potassium Permanganate and Calcium Hypochlorite had boon used in the scrubber system. Bath of these chemicals are oxidants and remove hydrogen sulfide, but yield precipitates both by themselves and from the iron and hardness in city water, causing spray nozzles in the scrubber units to plug. X -U, an industrial odor counteractant, first recommended by Bunny Fresh as effective, was started and in use during the Udephos survey, wfter consulting with lacomarc, its distributor. 1'his chemical was non -corrosive, did not cause plugging of the nozzles, and seemed to be effective during its trial at the plant. Testing showed that this chemical was not removing sulfide but rather blocking olfactory receptors, making operators unable to sural l su 1 f i dos. Udephos recommends using sodium hypoehloi^ate which is a completely water soluble oxidant. Additionally, 140 is anstalling an Iron and hardness removal system to treat the city water used 1'or the scrubber system. The chemical storage/feed tank is being sealed and vented to the outside to prevent undue corrosion to the boller room where the tank is located. these changes are currently being ef'tected and both the chemical and water treatment system should be on l are within the week. These chwrryos wall riot aricresso costs to the city. 3 3 e) 1'o treat sulfides in the plant influent, Odephos recommends installation of a ferrous sulfate feed system at or very near Sunny Fresh Foods (SFF) discharge to the collection system. They recommend that the system be timer controlled to pace chemical food with the need for the time of day. This recommendation was based upon intluent sulfide readings from 10/12/89 and typical SFF BOD loading patterns as explained in their report. Recommended feed rates amount to 35 gpd. Consideration should also be given to feeding additional ferrous sulfate at the nuclear plant during shut down, based upon sulfate results from 116/19/89. Ferric chloride is currently being fed in the equalization building at low dosages in attempt to control "normal" sulfide loadings. H ferrous sulfate food system could be placed at the wastewater treatment plant. More control would be provided by placement in the collection system, controlling sulfide generation rather than controlling sulfides already formod. Controlling sulfide generation in the collection system will also help protect collection system components from corrosion caused by sulfides. I have attached a diagram that shows sulfide generation promoted by low dissolved oxygen conditions in the collection system, conditions which high organic oxygen demand can create. I have also included diagrams of sulfur reactions to help with understanding the problem. PSG recommends a permanent means of Heb control. Chemical volume to be based upon actual experience and further testing. Rough pricing of such a system supplied by Odephosl purchase at about 41:3.000, or a pilot system with a set-up cost of $1,000 and a $400 per month rental fee. The system would consist of a 5000 gallon storage tank, so that best bulk chemical prices could be obtained, all piping and timer controlled pumps. These prices are approximate. Sincerely, Kelsio L. McGuire Project Manager, PLG cc J. Mickotts II . ODOR THEORY The conditions leading to hydrogen sulfide formation, additionally favors the product ion of other malodorous organic compounds. Many facultative and an aerobic bacteria, under proper conditions, will produce a variety of odorous compounds as shown in table A. Once formed, this vast array of odorous compounds can present a variety of problems, including: corrosion of concrete, metal pipe and structures, production of toxic gases and vapors, oxygen deficiencies in confined spaces and the creation of combustible gases and vapors.

The formation of hydrogen sulfide is illustrated by the following equation: _ anaerobic _ (eq.l) SO4 + organic matter bacteria S + H2O + CO2 (eq.2) S + 2H H 2 S It is important to note that the fate of sulfate (SO4), in equation 1. above, is a function of bacterial respiratory conditions. If dissolved oxygen is present in the wastewater, aerobic respiring bacteria will predominate and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) will be oxidized to thiosulfate per the following equation. aerobic (eq.3) 2 02 + 2HS bacteria 5203 + H2O Figure A illustrates the sulfur cycle. When condition best suit aerobic respiration, odorous hydrogen sulfide will not be generated.

FIGURE D N The rate at which sulfide is produced by the slime layer depends on the following environmental conditions: Concentrations of organic material and nutrients, sulfate concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, temperature, stream velocity, surface area and detention time. Please note the following discussion of environmental factors impacting the sulfide production rate. ORGANIC MATERIAL: Organic matter and nutrients must diffuse into the slime layer to be utilized by the sulfate -reducing bacteria. Research has indicated that the concentration of nutrients is proportional to the BOD in wastewater, and that the rate of sulfide generation by the slimes is proportional to the DOD if sulfate is available. 5 O/V Council Agenda - 11/13/89 .5. Consideration of resolution adopting a proposed preliminary 1990 budget and setting a proposed tax levy. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Now that the legislature has finally passed a new tax bill, the Department of Revenue has recently informed all cities of the new truth in taxation time line requirements regarding the 1990 budget process. According to the Department of Revenue guidelines, the County must hold its public hearing on adopting their 1990 budget first, then the School District is second, and finally the City must hold its public hearing. The County has selected November 20, the School District, I believe, November 27, and our public hearing date has been set for 8:00 p.m., December 4. Prior to this public hearing, the City is required to adopt a proposed 1990 tax levy that is submitted to the County Auditor by Novell 15, 1989. What this proposed tax levy means is that the City cannot exceed the dollar amount adopted but can lower the tax levy at its public hearing. The resolution enclosed for adoption to meet this November 1.5 guideline proposes a tax levy of $2,717,506 , approximately $57,130 under the levy limit. This proposed tax levy coincides with the amended budget, which is also being submitted as part of this agenda package. The proposed tax levy includes the additional $181,000 needed to replace the local government aid ammunt that has now been shifted to the School District. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Adopt the resolution setting a proposed tax levy of $2,717,506. 2. Adopt a proposed tax levy higher or lower than the amount indicated above. 3. Do not adopt a proposed tax levy. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The City staff reconnends that the proposed tax levy be adopted at $2,717,506 which coincides with the proposed budget as amended. This tax levy would still be $57,130 under our legal levy limit, but should be enough revenue to cover our anticipated expenditures for next year. All the proposed tax levy means is that the Council cannot go higher than this later on but does have the ability to lower the levy if it so chooses. If we do not adopt a proposed tax levy by November 15, the City would be limited to the taxes collected in 1989, which would really put us in a bind. VI D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of resolution.

Consideration of installing street light at private driveway as requested by the Plaza Car Wash on Highway 25. (J.S.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: At the last meeting, the City Council requested further information concerning a petition for a street light for the driveway entrance for the Plaza Car Wash. This driveway entrance also serves the Glass Hut and the now vacant Big A Auto Parts. The City Council discussed the possibility of the private driveway becoming a service road in the future serving many businesses, including the property located between the Glass Hut and Tom Thumb. Because of the volume of traffic utilizing the private driveway, it was suggested that the City install a street light at this location. If you have visited the site, you will see that the City currently has a light on the west side of Highway 25 at the street intersection of Sandberg Road. This is a 400 -watt light and lights up the intersection as well as a portion of the highway. On the other side of the road, there is a private duplex light near the intersection 30 feet from the proposed location. This private lighting system belongs to Plaza Car Wash. It is understood that this private lighting system is loaded to the max and could not he extended to another light without high cost. At the last meeting, the City Council requested the Public Works Director to discuss the installation with NSP and report at this 3neeting. The proposed location for the light would be on the north side of the existing private driveway. NSP has placed a stake in the ground at this point showing where the light would be located. There is a problem in obtaining power for the light. Our light on the west side of Highway 25 is serviced by an overhead wire coining from the back of the Royal Tire building. This overhead wire was installed due to the lack of a transformer in the iimnediate area of that pole location but will he converted to underground in the future. A similar problem uxisLs on the east side of Highway 25, as the closest transformer to this site is located on Cedar Street behind the Big A Auto Parts. The following alternatives are presented for your review. B. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. The first option would be to run underground from the transformer behind the Big A Auto Parts along the north side of the building under the driveway. The installation cost would be $1,400, and the rental cost of the light would be $164.40 per year . 2. Option two would be to come overhead across Highway 25 after obtaining permission from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. installation coat for this type of system would be included in the rental rate of $164.40 per year. Although this would be the least costly, it would be the least attractive and does not fit well with our policy of atteirpting to install as imrch underground puwer au pussiblu. Thls wuu1J 1x3 thu uely highway ctoSslnq overhead on Highway 25 in the whole area. 29 C Council Agenda - 11/13/89 3. The third option could be to install a private light at the driveway and power it from the nearby existing lighting system from the Plaza Car Wash or the Big A Auto Parts building. If the City feels the light is warranted, we could pay for the light and/or the installation cost much like MN/DOT does. But then the maintenance and power costs would be borne by Plaza Car Wash or Big A Auto Parts. If the light location was moved to the south side of the driveway only 28 feet from the Plaza's existing private light. Because of the power problem with the Plaza lights also, this mould be costly and may not be practical. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Option #2 is the cheapest but is the least desirable in regard to appearance and our policy to keep power underground as much as possible. I, therefore, favor alternatives ¢1 and 13. Since this is essentially a private driveway and not a City owned or maintained service road, there is reason to keep it a private light as per 63. If the Council feels that we should contribute, we could pay for all or a portion of the installation either way. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copy of petition. 30 PETITION FOR STREET LIGHT INSTALLATION NOT WITHIN CITY POLICY We, the undersigned, do hereby petition the City of Monticello to install a street light at the following location: i 0 We understand that this installation would not conform with the City of Monticello•s street lighting policy. s�TIIae 2•x,1.- i lJ,�,tp 3.1/OV,1,17 !� • a, wow,{ a. 6. 7 B. 9. 10.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: After a fire in the 4th Street warming house last winter, Northstar Risk Services, Inc., a risk assessment company who performs loss control surveys for our insurance company, stated the City should install self -extinguishing waste type cans in our warming houses. Additionally, they suggested that we post appropriate warning/rule signs. Lastly, Northstar Risk Services asked that we consider adult supervision for City rink areas during periods of peak use. This was again stressed in their October 16 letter regarding the pond skating. We are in the process of drafting the regulations and rules for our skating facilities. We will be conferring with the City Attorney on those signs. The Park Superintendent has estimated that the peak hours of use for our skating facilities during the winter months would be on weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. This would total approximately 31 hours per week per facility, excluding holidays or Christmas vacation, which could bring the average hours per week during the overall season up to 35. The City currently has two skating facilities with warming houses, 4th Street and Bridge Park, and two skating facilities without warming houses, Hillcrest Park and Meadow Oak Park pond. Since the skating season typically runs about eight weeks, each facility would require approximately 280 hours of rink attendant time. The minimum wage, including workman's compensation and medicare, would total $4.10 per hour, or $1,148 per facility p -r season. It seems appropriate that the City provide rink attendants for both warming houses. It is my understanding that the City used to pay for a rink attendant at Bridge Park until the middle 70's when the individual retired. It would appear to be less desirable to have rink attendants at the Hillcrest rink and the Meadow Oak Park pond rink, especially when no protection or warming house is provided. B. ALTERNATIVE. ACTIONS: Q1. The first alternative would be to provide rink attendants for the two (� warming houses during peak skating times as outlined by the Park Superintendent and as recommnonded by Northstar Risk Services at an estimated cost of $1,148 per season for a total cost of approximately $2,300. 2. The second alternative would be to provide rink attendants for peak times at all the facilities at an estimated cost of $4,600. 3. The third alternative would be to provide no skating rink attendants whatsoever. 31 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As Public Works Director, I can see the merit of providing attendants for the two warming houses at the hours outlined by the Park Superintendent and recommended by Northstar Risk Services and so reconnend same. It is more difficult to see the logic in providing rink attendants for the Hillcrest area rink and the Meadow oak pond rink, as these areas are without shelter. It may be more applicable to encourage adult supervision from the neighborhood, possibly from the parents of the individuals using these facilities. The Coouncil may wish to consider all alternatives or formulate a fourth alternative. D. SUPPORTING DATA: Copies of letters from Northstar Risk Services. 32 Mr. Rick Wolfsteller City of Monticello March 6, 1989 Page Two CITY HALL: R-3-89 The exit lights should be reviewed on a periodic basis to make sure they are all in proper working order. It was noted at the time of survey that one exit light was not working. R-4-89 All exit doors should be kept clear of debris so the doors could be utilized in the event of an emergency. R-5-89 The occupancy/capacity of the council chambers should be determined and posted. Measures should be in place so that the occupancy/capacity of the room is not exceeded. FOURTH STREET PARK: R-6-89 The warming house facility should be equipped with noncombustible, self -extinguishing type waste cans. This could consist of self -extinguishing "dome" type cans of metal or plastic construction. R-7-89 The City should post appropriate warning/rule signs appropriate to skaters in the rink areae. These signs usually separate hockey players from pleasure skaters, rule on the type of skates worn, and also indicate hours of operation. The City legal counsel should be contacted for the appropriate wording, placement and coloring of the signs, as well as additional rules/warnings to be included on the signs, or the City may consult with the LMCIT staff attorneys. R-8-89 The bearing on the tire swing should be appropriately shrouded to reduce the potential for injury to children's I fingers. R-9-89 1 Consideration should be given to the City for adult 1 supervision of the rink areae, at least during periods of peak use. 67 Nordi Star Risk Senices, Inc. October 16, 1989 Mr. Rick Wolfsteller Administrator City of Monticello P.O. Box 83A Monticello, MN 55362 Dear Mr. Wolfsteller: , On October 5, 1989 I returned a telephone call to your staff member, Mr. John Simola, concerning the proposed ice skating rink over the drainage ditch/pond area, as I understand it. I did have several thoughts for elements of this proposed skating rink: C9The City should be drilling holes in the ice to check for ice thickness conditions, certainly in the fall of the year before the rink is opened and possibly at periodic times throughout the ice skating season, particularly if it is a warm season. All this information should be fully documented. If the City is to have a hockey rink, the dasher boards should meet all specifications for length and width, as well as dasher boards are often about four feet high. Usually there is approximately four feet of netting above the dasher boards on the curved end of the rink area. The City should also have signs, as I believe I mentioned in the sem+ earlier recommendation letter, which oftentimes separate hockey players from pleasure skaters, address skatewear such as prohibition of speed skates on the hockey skating rink, hours operation, use of alcohol, etc. The City should be consulting with the City's legal counsel or LCMIT staff attorneys for exact wording of the sign and coloring and placement of the sign Inn A(�i 7om sirevi, sunr smi ■ Nmnralwdi,.

Consideration of setting a meeting for the purpose of establishing the 1990 salary/wage policy for non-union personnel. (R.W.) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: With 1990 fast approaching, the City Council may wish to set a special meeting to meet with the Administrator to determine what salary/wage policy will be used for setting salary increases for 1990. As some of you may recall, last year the rising cost of health insurance benefits was considered by the Council in establishing a pool of money set aside for creating cost of living increases/performance related salary adjustments. After reviewing the cost of health insurance, the Council required that each errgrloyee who received health insurance benefits contribute $30 per month toward the cost of dependent coverage and granted an across the board 4-1/28 salary increase. Prior to last year, the city Council had met in a special session to establish a pool of money that was used to create increases in wages and salaries which included both the cost of living adjustment and possibly performance/merit increases. Usually, a cost of living increase was established that was acceptable by the Council and an additional amount of money was set aside for the sole purpose of merit increases as determined by the Administrator. Again, this method can be used if the council desires, or the Council could revert to last year's method of a percentage increase across the board for all employees. Naturally, there are other methods such as an equal adjustment per einployee regardless of present salary or any other method the Council wishes to establish. Ar A performance evaluation form has been developed for all department heads to use in evaluating employees under their control. These evaluation Jy forms on each employee could be made available for the Council umbers to �y review if you feel more comfortable in establishing who should be granted of any) an increase under the performance/merit principal. Previously, the Council had discussed what specific guidelines should be used in !� deciding when a performance or merit increase is warranted. The Oouncil also previously had concerns over the fact that if all errployees are v performing adequately at their jobs, and all employees receive a performance/merit increase, it really becomes the same as a straight percentage increase for all employees. Although I'rn not necessarily suggesting this as a policy, some cornnunitiea do limit the number of employees that can receive a performance/merit increase each year. Any method that is used whether by the Council or by myself in granting merit increases relies on a subjective opinion of the individual doing the rating. Any type of an adjustment outside of the basic cost of living across the board requires a judgement call to be made, and therein lies the problem. if the Council desires to hold a special meeting to discuss the salary increases for next year, it should probably be established prior to the December 11 Council meeting, as the 11th will be the only meeting scheduled during December. 33 Council Agenda - 11/13/89 H. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Set a special meeting date to consider 1990 salary and wage policy. 2. Do not set a special meeting but consider the 1990 salary adjustments at a regular Council meeting. C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Historically, salary and wage policies for the next year have typically been discussed at a special meeting established for that purpose rather than at a regular Council meeting. Reg:+-dless of what date you wish to consider this item, I will prepare some information regarding present and past salaries of City employees and some comparable data that might be useful. If the Council would like to review any individual's performance evaluation, this information can also be made available at the time of our meeting. D. SUPPORTING DATA: None. 34 Council Agenda - 11/13/84 19. Consideration of proposed supplement to cooperative construction agreement with MN/DOT for upgrading Highway 25. W .S .) A. REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: During the original upgrading of Highway 25 which took place several years ago, the State of Minnesota agreed to plant shrubs along Hillside Cemetery to reduce maintenance and beautify the area. This planting was to be 1008 State of Minnesota cost. When the original agreement came through, this was not the case, and the agreement stated that it was City cost. At that time, the City was informed it would be finpractice) to amend the entire agreement and that the State would follow up later with a supplemental agreement. The agreement and resolution are enclosed for your review. B. ALTERNATIVE AMONS: 1. The first alternative would be to authorize the proposed supplemental agreement transferring the responsibility of cost of the shrubbery from the City to the State. 2. The second alternative would be not to approve the supplemental agreement. This does not appear to be practical, as this could make the City responsible for the planting along Hillside Cemetery, which costs an estimated $10,000. C. STAFF RECOMENDATION: It is the otaff recommendation that the Council approve the agreement as outlined in alternative C1. D.
