ADJOURNMENT WEEK =N REVS EW Edition # 43 Year End Wrap -Up through 1 -9 -98 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Building permits issued this period = 1 Building permits issued YTD = 1 * A total of 162 building permits were issued in 1997. Of this number, 85 permits were for new home construction. * Reminder! Bring your list of goals and objectives to the next Council meeting to be considered for the City in 1998. These items will be consolidated into a master list and discussed at our next meeting. * I attended the EDC meeting on Tuesday of this week. The group is prepared to submit its application to the Minnesota Design Team by January 15. The application will be reviewed within four weeks from submittal. If the application is approved, we would expect a fall 1998 visit. The desired dates for a visit would be as follows : First Choice - September 17 -20, Second Choice - September 24 -27. * I attended the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on Tuesday of this week. At the meeting, Rick Carlson presented his concept plans for the Parkview subdivision (former Tourville Property). The commission preferred the design by Mattke Engineering over the design prepared by Rick Harrison. * I attended the Park and Recreation meeting on Wednesday evening. The committee discussed the ice rink operation and the plans for LaMotte Park. The consensus was to look at other layout options for LaMotte Park. The committee recommended a combination of sidewalks and trails through the Parkview Development. The committee would prefer park dedication in the form of cash for this development. There are two applicants for the vacancy on the committee (Norma Essex and Douglas Porter). The two candidates will be invited to the next meeting. The new Park and Recreation Director from Lino Lakes will also be invited to the next meeting to see if discussions can begin on recreation programming for the community youth. * A site plan for a bank has been delivered to City Hall. The proposal is to build an approximately 3000 sq. ft. bank on the site immediately just west of the entrance to Eagle Pass. The proposal would include the removal of the current house, a petition to vacate Clearwater Road and a request for a rezoning. * I had a meeting with a reporter from the New York Times on Wednesday afternoon. He had flown in for a couple of hours to tour the Eagle Pass development and is working on a story about the "coving concept" in land use design. The article will run in approximately a month. * The new year has started with a number of changes. Robert Westerlund started full -time on Monday. From early indications, it appears that Robert will be a valuable addition to the City. Robert Barron and Dale Larson's status as part -time employees expired on Monday. I would recommend purchasing plaques to recognize their years of service to the City. Troy Bonkowske starts his new position with the City of Caledonia on Monday. * I had a meeting with representatives from Lino Lakes and the owners of the proposed convenience store that is supposed to be constructed by the Interchange. They have expressed interest in having temporary connections to Centerville's water and sewer system along 21st Avenue. I indicated that the current policy would require the hook -up fees to be paid to Centerville as if the building was going to be constructed in Centerville. They have concerns about having to pay fees to both communities for the same service. The hook -up fees would be in the neighborhood of $20,000 - $25,000 depending on Met Council's determination of SAC units. I indicated that the City Council would have to make the decision on the issue and that the Council would await to hear their future proposal.

Mr. Nyberg reported on Friday, November 21, Mr. Paul Palzer (Public Works Director/Building Inspector) attempted to complete a hydrant flow meter test, but was unsuccessful. Mr. Nyberg added the hydrant was affected from the senior housing construction. Mr. Nyberg suggested three options the Council may consider prior to paying the senior housing pay estimate. One option is to pay the estimate and request the hydrant be repaired less than a one year warranty. Another alternative is to pay the estimate contingent upon repair of the hydrant. A last option would be to table the pay estimate until the hydrant is repaired. Mayor Wilharber questioned Mr. Nyberg about the senior housing seed and mulch cost. Mr. Nyberg replied the Eagle Pass developers will complete the senior housing seed and mulch. Mr. March wondered if the Eagle Pass developers had knowledge of the seed and mulch requirements.

In addition, Mayor Wilharber requested the petitioner be forwarded a copy of the traffic study. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. Motion carried unanimously. United Wast Complaint Ms. Clara Ayde (7193 W. Robin Lane) briefed the Council on her refuse concerns. She first pointed out, United Waste does not provide Centerville's contract information on the back of their billing statements which may cause confusion in the community. Also, Ms. Ayde contacted United Waste on three occasions where she asked the same question each time and received three different answers. Finally, Ms. Ayde understood there was no change to the current contract despite being charged for an extra 90 gallon containers. Mr. Ron Gersdorf (United Waste) responded to Ms. Aydes concern. Mr. Gersdorf explained the information on the back of the billing statement is exclusive to Centerville residential accounts and United Waste employees are directed to journal calls in the "Journal of Communications." Mr. Gersdorf noted no calls from Ms. Ayde were logged in the journal. Furthermore, the tax abatement charges have changed effective November 1, 1997. However, the bill shows a decrease in the premium, which reflects the amended refuse contract. Mr. Gersdorf explained there always has been a $7.25 charge for picking up extra containers. Mayor Wilharber noted in the month of October United Waste received four complaints which translate to .0049% of the service and he mentioned how this percentage is exceptionally low. Councilmember Powers recalled from a previous meeting that United Waste stated there would be no charge to pick up extra containers. Councilmember Powers suggested Staff review the refuse contract discussion from the past Council meeting tapes. MOTION by Mayor Wilharber to authorize Staff to review past Council meeting minutes and tapes then report findings to the Council. Motion seconded by Councilmember Brenner. Motion carried unanimously. APPEARANCES UNFINISHED BUSINESS 3 Centerville Surface Water Management Plan Mr. Nyberg briefed the Council on the revised updates to the surface water management plan (SWMP). Mr.. Nyberg reported the Metropolitan Council has been notified that the City's shoreland ordinance will be completed by the spring of 1999. Furthermore, the City will need to adopt a flood plain ordinance and update the stormwater utility fee. Mr. Nyberg noted the City can turn over the floodplain regulation to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). However, RCWD is requiring structures to be two feet above flood level. Councilmember Brenner stated the City's flood reduction project was executed to allow construction at one foot above the floodplain. Mr. Nyberg stated the watershed recently changed their regulations but, the City can protest the changes to a higher agency. Mayor Wilharber stressed a regulation concern and suggested discussing this issue with the full Council. Councilmember Brenner suggested the shoreland ordinance be submitted to the Metropolitan Council prior to comprehensive plan amendments. Mayor Wilharber suggested setting a workshop to discuss the shoreland ordinances. MOTION by Mayor Wilharber to tentatively set a workshop on December 8, 1997 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the letter issued by H.R. Green and discuss the shoreland ordinance.

Mr. March noted the cost for curb and gutter is $6,800, which is proposed to be paid by Community Development Block Grant funds. The cost to install an attic sprinkler system was determined to be $19,800 but the City of Centerville will not be responsible for paying this amount for the sprinkler system in the senior complex.

Currently, Mr. Bonkowske observed several school zone signs indicating the school zone. However, flashing lights may prevent any unforseen hazards or accidents. Mr. Bonkowske suggesting the City purchase flashing traffic signals from Brown Traffic because they are less expensive. However, shipping and handling will take two to four weeks longer and there may be an installation delay due to the frozen ground. Mr. Bonkowske commented Officer Gleason noted overhead cross walk signals are becoming obsolete since people take their eyes off the road to look at the overhead signals. Councilmember Powers suggested installing the pedestal poles from Brown Traffic.

The traffic study was conducted between the times of 8:00 -9:00 a.m. and 3:30 4:30 p.m. and focused on gaps of traffic for a period of fifty (50) seconds. In addition, the numbers of students crossing the street were taken in consideration. Results from the study indicated gaps of traffic more than sufficient for crossing and doesn't meet warrants for flashing lights. Simply put, the County will not participate in the direct funding for flashing lights at this time. However, the City can ask the County to conduct another traffic study in the spring. The final written report will be sent to the City in a week or two. Interestingly, Ms. Pemble quickly pointed out that the City can still join the school district with the installation of flashing lights. If this does occur, Anoka County would be willing to enter into a joint powers agreement with Centerville for the maintenance of the lights, but the City would need to pay approximately $6.00 a month electricity charge. Finally, Ms. Pemble stated the County will continue work removing clutter on the public right -of- way near the crosswalk. These visibility improvements should be completed in the next few weeks. Mike Hughes from the Centennial School District and I spoke this afternoon and said he wasn't surprised the County won't help pay for the lights. With the study completed, however, he can now ask the County for engineering specifications and get approval for the light installation. Meanwhile, Mr. Hughes can present the flashing lights to the School Board for funding before the Hazardous Committee meets in April. He doubts full funding could come before April, but we discussed the possibility of a cost - sharing plan. If the City Council seriously wants to push this through quickly, the City could pick up half the cost now and be reimbursed after the Hazardous Committee meets. The total cost should be approximately $3,000 and the City's portion would be $1,500.00. Of course, this type of agreement would need to be in writing. Finally, Mr. Hughes stated the installation of the lights could be completed within six to eight weeks. Since my last day is Friday, I provided Mike with all of my relevant materials and told him that Jim will be the main contact on this issue in the future. MEMO DATE January 8, 1998 TO Honorable Mayor and Council FROM Jim March RE Dorothy Person, Local Government Consulting Dorothy Person will be present at 5:00 to discuss her salary range proposals and related information. Dorothy indicated that she would be mailing her packet of information to all the Council at their homes prior to the meeting. Please bring this information with you on Wednesday night. Dorothy was going to mail one information packet to City Hall. I will copy and distribute this information to staff and invite them to the workshop on Wednesday evening. This item has been placed on the regular agenda in case any action is required at this meeting.

Methodology A representative sample of residential telephone numbers was selected from within the primary circulation area of the appropriate PRESS PUBLICATIONS newspaper. The following telephone directory was used: St Paul and Suburbs (Cole Publications, 1996 -97). The following required questions were asked: 1. "Does your household normally receive the appropriate PRESS PUBLICATIONS newspaper? It's a free community newspaper delivered to your home on appropriate day." 2. "Do you or does someone in your household normally read or look through the appropriate PRESS PUBLICATIONS newspaper?" Interviews were conducted by telephone on October 8, 1996 - October 11, 1996. A sufficient number of interviews was completed to ensure a margin of error not to exceed 5.0 0 /6. Calls were made in the late afternoon and early evening hours with members of the household 18 years or older. 401 interviews were validated for use in this analysis. The sample was randomly selected so as to be proportional to the listed telephone numbers in the target areas. Audit of Internal Records On 616/97 VERIFIED conducted an on -site audit of printing, distribution and financial records in order to substantiate data submitted by the client publication. This examination followed guidelines prepared in conformity with generally accepted circulation auditing procedures, involving records covering all distribution methods utilized for qualified circulation during the period covered by this report. Standard methods of sample selection were used on source printing and distribution records and on corroborative financial documents. The results of the audit warrant the issuance of this report as an accurate statement of the qualified circulation of the client publication. , Affidavit VERIFIED AUDIT CIRCULATION swears that to the best of its knowledge, all statements contained in this report are true.

The Planning and Zoning Commission heard the request of the parties to have their properties included in MUSA by the means of an amendment to the comprehensive plan. The Fruths and Fischers felt that they should not be required to pay for this amendment, since they have indicated that they have been requesting to have their property in MUSA since 1993. An early 1996 draft of the new comprehensive plan showed their property being placed in the next MUSA addition. I have a copy of this draft in my office. The final version of the comprehensive plan showed their property being removed from the next MUSA phase. The Planning and Zoning Commission indicated that they would support the efforts of the property owners and recommend to the City Council that the amendment be processed at City expense. I would support the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. I explained to the property owners that even if the City Council supports the amendment proposal, the Metropolitan Council would have the responsibility to approve the amendment. I further explained that with the potential sewer system restrictions, the Met Council may approve the amendment, but they might not approve a sewer permit for a developer until the sewer capacity issues are addressed by the interceptor replacement. I would expect the expense to the City to be less than a thousand dollars in supporting this amendment. The City would be required to pay for a public hearing, apply for the amendment and then update the MUSA maps in the comprehensive plan.
