Opt/on Analysis. As requested, below is a briefsynopsis oithe pre_tatiOR, Hardwood Creek is a major contriburor of ..xt=1 phosphorus Joads to Peltier Lake. Concerns about the eutrophication or Peltier T..ake led t."le District to perfonn I study in 200 I entitled HartfwQod Creek Outlet Treatment S}\$tem - Opti,," A",:zlJ>~I$. This s1udy evsluated various treatment options near the outlet oflhe creek to tre# watler from the apJl1'Ol<.lmat.ely 17,000 acre walCl'Shed. A preferred approach for !!'eating loadings tl'om Hardwood Creek before reaching Peltier Lake, the down!!1ream Chain of Lakes, and middle Rice Creek was identified. The recommended treatmect option urnic:r COMideratlon by the District is a constructed wetland. However, as a result of this study, the Dislri.ct is also taking a proactive- step in ttyina- to <letermillc where in the Herdwood Creek Watmhe4 the l!Ouree oCphosphorus is originating li'om, This may allow the District 10 look at other options to address the problem in ditferen.t ways, In the spring oflhis year, a rigorous walel' qualil)!- IllOI1ttorlng program alOllg Hardwood Creek will be initillted. Either Marcey Westrick or I will be attending the meeting to present ilie results oCme st.lJdy and oblllin YQur feedback.

CALL TO ORDER Mayor Swedberg called the April 10, 2002, City Council meeting to order at 6:32 p,m, II. SET AGENDA Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Travis to approye the al!:enda as presented. All in favor. unanimously. Council Member Motion carried III. PUBLIC HEARlNG(S) 1. Anoka County Board of Review Mayor Swedberg explained that the Anoka County Board of Review was at the meeting to discuss property valuation upon which taxes are based, Crystal Huss and John Leon from the Anoka County Assessor's Office were at the meeting, Ms, Huss explained that valuations had gone up in the County between IS and 20% due to the strong housing market Ms, Huss pointed out on a map the areas appraised last year and the areas to be completed this year. She then commented that a basic house sells for $172,000 and pointed out in the handout the definition of how market value is determined, Page 1 of 16 . . 'f_ City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes Apri!! 0, 2002 Council Member Nelson asked what years the pink and green shading on the map referred to. Ms. Huss indicated that the pink shaded areas were for 2003 and the green shaded areas were for 2004. Mayor Swedberg opened the public hearing for the board of review at 6:37p.m. A resident in attendance asked how the County arrived at the amount to mcrease valuation. Ms. Huss indicated that the valuation increases are based on housing sales. She explained that the state requires the valuation to be within 90 to 105% of what the house would sell for in the market. She then explained that last year's average increase was 8% and this year the increases have been as much as 20%. IV. APPEARANCES/AWARDS None. V. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES 1. March 27. 2002. Council Meeting Minutes Mayor Swedberg requested that the second paragraph on Page 16 concerning the types of software be removed. Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Capra to allprove the March 27, 2002 Council Minutes as amended. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VI. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS None. VII. OLD BUSINESS 1. Personnel Flow Chart Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated Council Member Capra had asked if Council had formally adopted the personnel flow chart. She then presented it to Council for consideration. Council Member Nelson said she thinks it is the responsibility of Council to approve the organizational chart. She then said she did not think Council had approved an additional office clerk as indicated on the chart provided. Page 2 of 16 " . City ofCenterville Council Meeting Minutes April 10,2002 Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the position is listed as a possible future position and said she was not sure that it was necessary for Council to adopt the flow chart because it is subject to change. Council Member Nelson presented another flow chart and asked Ms. Moore-Sykes to consider using it. Mayor Swedberg suggested holding off on approval of the flow chart until the personnel policy is up and running. 2. Charitable Gambling (Spring Lake Park Lion's & Dead Broke Saddle Club) Council Member Capra indicated she had serious concerns regarding the discussions with the Centerville Lions at the last meeting and explained she had contacted the Minnesota Gambling Control Board to discuss it. She then said that it seems the City needs to amend its ordinance to be able to collect 10% of the monies and leave the handling of the other monies to the Spring Lake Park Lions. She also noted that Dead Broke Saddle Club was correct when the organization said it thought only 10% of the profits were to come to the City. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the statute allows the City to receive up to 10% as a donation to the City and the City's ordinance requires that 50% be spent within the trade area. Council Member Capra suggested narrowing the trade area to border cities to keep the funds closer to the City. Council Member Nelson said she would like to have the trade area include Hugo and Lino Lakes not Forest Lake and Blaine. Council Member Capra explained that any organization within the trade area can solicit the Lions for those monies raised in Centerville through charitable gambling. She then said she would like to see the trade arca include Centerville, Lino Lakes and Hugo. She further commented that this may be a way for Centerville's Park and Recreation Commission to solicit funds for park improvements. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested that this discussion should be heard at a public hearing to amend the ordinance. Council Member Capra asked Staff to check with surrounding cities to determine what the trade areas are. Council Member Nelson asked if the City was to make changes to the ordinance and then hold a public hearing. Page3 of16 . City ofCenterville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 City Attorney Hoeft indicated that changes to the ordinance should be brought forward and discussed at the public hearing. He then said the changes seemed pretty straightforward and, if necessary, he would work with Staff to amend the ordinance. Mayor Swedberg commented that the City has money sitting in a fund and asked what the City is to do with that money. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the City does not need to have the 10% rule in its ordinance in order for a charitable organization to donate 10% to the City. He then said the issue is once the money comes to the City what can it be used for. Council Member Capra indicated she had discussed lawful use of the money with Alice Jacobs and Ms. Jacobs was concerned after reviewing the minutes from the last meeting because it appeared that the Spring Lake Park Lions were giving money to Centerville for a project for the Centerville Lions and that the Centerville Lions felt they had entitlement to those funds, Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Centerville Lions want the money spent on a facility in the park for the benefit of the City not for the Lions, Council Member Nelson commented that the City never said it wanted to build a concession stand in LaMotte Park. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that at the time this situation began it was the intent to construct a concession stand at the park. She then said the City could give the funds to the 50 I C3 corporation allowing the Lions to use the funds to build the park shelter. Mayor Swedberg commented that no other residents had come to meet with the Anoka County Board of Review and suggested closing the public hearing. Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member Nelson to close the Anoka Countv Board of Review public hearine:. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. Mayor Swedberg closed the public hearing at 7:00 p.m, City Attorney Hoeft advised that the money was donated to the City and from a legal standpoint the City may determine how that money is used. He further commented that it may be a good idea to respect the wishes of the person or entity donating funds to the City if the City wants to continue to receive donations but noted the City is not obligated to do so. He also commented that there may have been an understanding of how those funds would be spent and the additional step of trying to give recognition to the Centerville Lions has muddied up the waters. Page 4 of 16 City ofCenterville Council Meeting Minutes April 10,2002 Council Member Nelson said the issue of having this concession stand came up when former City Administrator March brought up that the Lions wanted to donate the labor to build the structure and wanted the City to donate the funds to purchase the materials. She also commented that Mr. March had applied for a grant for the concession stand but the grant was not received. She further commented that the Council had never agreed that it wanted to build a concession stand at LaMotte Park and her vote would be not to do so. Council Member Nelson indicated she was confused at the last meeting and thought that the money was not City money but belonged to the Lions when in reality it is City money for Council to determine how to use. Mayor Swedberg asked whether the money that is sitting in the City's account was the 10% requirement or the 50% requirement. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the funds represented the 50% requirement. He then clarified that the Spring Lake Park Lions have been giving the City the 10% plus the other 40% that was to be spent in the trade arca in order to help the Centerville Lions build the park structure at LaMotte Park. Council Member Capra indicated the City could spend the funds in any of the lawful ways as listed by the Gambling Control Board. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the 501 C3 is a lawful use. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the City has the ability to give the money to any organization provided the use qualifies as use for a public purpose. He then said, however, the City has a policy of not giving to any organizations because it is difficult to do so fairly. Mr. Hoeft then said he would be more comfortable if the City used the funds to build the pavilion if that is the desire of Council rather than giving the money to the Lions to do so. Council Member Capra expressed concern with the City donating the funds to the Centerville Lions because it may not be a lawful use of public funds. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the reason the City discussed giving the funds to the SOlC3 was to get out of the business of housing the funds because the Lions thought the City was holding the funds until enough accumulated to build a pavilion. City Attorney Hoeft commented that the Lions should have a concern about money sitting in City funds or about giving more money to the City after he had told them that, even if this Council comes to an understanding with them, the next Council may not do so. He then commented that something the executive director of the Gambling Control Board does not state in the newsletter is that once the money is given to the City it is up to Council to determine what that money is used for. He further commented that it is unfortunate in this situation that the Lions had conversations with Staff and the Page S of 16 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 1 0, 2002 administration that led them to believe the funds would be used for building a pavilion and, if that is not done, it could result in hard feelings. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the Lions could stop giving the City money. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the Lions are not required to give the City anything under the current ordinance. Council Member Capra suggested the City continue to receive the 10% to be spent however Council wishes and let the Spring Lake Park Lions administer the remaining 40% that is to be spent in the trade area. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked what the City was to do with the funds that are currently available. Council Member Capra said she feels the Spring Lake Park Lions gain something by having pull tabs in Centerville. City Attorney Hoeft commented the reason that they want additional locations is because they are making money. Mayor Swedberg asked how long the money had been accumulating. He then said, by his calculations, the City does not receive enough money to warrant the costs to administrate it. Council Member Broussard Vickers clarified that the City is to receive 10% of the profits. Mayor Swedberg said he does not want the City to have the money because he does not view government as a charity and he would prefer that the money go to volunteer organizations. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked what the City was going to do with the money it currently has. Council Member Nelson said she would like to see the money used to benefit the City by having it used in the parks somehow. Council Member Travis indicated he would like to see a concession stand at LaMotte Park. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that if money had been available at the time that the Parks and Recreation Committee considered this it would have been their recommendation to construct the pavilion. She then asked what the City is to do with regard to the $1,900 that was incorrectly sent to the City. Page 6 of 16 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 Council Member Capra read the minutes from the last Council meeting where Mr. Bisek explained that the $1,900 was the proceeds from a raffle of a four wheeler and that money was to be used to payoff the four wheeler purchase. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that from a legal standpoint the $1,900 is the City's money and Council needs to decide what to do with it. Council Member Nelson indicated that there is already a concession stand at LaMotte Park and she does not feel it is necessary to put in an elaborate structure with meeting space above it for the Lions. Council Member Capra expressed concern with the fact that the concession stand at Lake Harriet was recently turned over to the Dairy Queen because the City could not make a go of it and that is a much larger City. She then commented that $50,000 for a structure that may only be used a few times per year may not be a wise use of City funds. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Park and Recreation Committee had agreed to allow the Lioness Branch to sell concessions every night that Little League has games at the Park. Mayor Swedberg indicated that the Parks and Recreation Committee is an advisory board and has no authority to authorize use of the City's building. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated tllat the Lioness Branch is to use the concession stand during Little League games at the Park and will give 25% of its proceeds to the Park and Recreation Committee. Council Member Nelson said she has trouble with an advisory board making these types of decisions that Council is not even aware of. City Attorney Hoeft agreed that he had concems about an advisory board authorizing use of City property. He then said that from a liability standpoint it would be more appropriate for Council to make that determination. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the Park and Recreation Committee was to be looking at the schedule for the games. Council Member Capra asked whether there would be health codes to meet. City Attomey Hoeft said selling packaged food should not be an issue. Council Member Capra indicated she would want to know whether there would be any health department liability or whether the City would be responsible because it is City property. Page 7 of 16 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 City Attorney Hoeft indicated Council could make the requirement that the Lioness Branch must have a County health permit, if required. Council Member Capra asked whether the City sells popcorn and hot chocolate or gives it away at the warming house, No one was able to answer the question. Mayor Swedberg indicated he would be more comfortable if no money went back to the City for the use of the facility. Council Member Nelson indicated that the City had looked at charging to use the facility in order to recover some of the City's cost. Council Member Broussard Vickers clarified that the Lions Auxiliary Branch would be running the concessions not the Little League. She further clarified that a portion of the monies would go to the City for Park and Recreation and the remaining funds would be used for Lion charities, Council Member Capra asked whether the Park and Recreation Committee wants a concession stand at LaMotte Park. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Committee does want the concession stand at LaMotte Park. Mayor Swedberg suggested tabling the discussion for consideration at another time. Council Member Nelson said she would like to have people petition for funds and let Council decide what to do. Council Member Capra indicated she was not opposed to a structure in the park but said she is not sure what type of structure that should be. She then indicated she would like the Lions to come to Council to provide more information on the type of structure to be constructed. Council Member Broussard Vickers said she would like Council to ask the Park and Recreation Committee what type of structure it wants. Council Member Capra said she would like to see the Lions work with the Park and Recreation Committee, Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the two groups had worked together on the matter before the money was available. Council Member Capra indicated that the plan had been changed from the initial design because when it first started it was to be a pavilion and now it is a concession stand. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested inviting the Lions back to discuss the matter with the Park and Recreation Committee. She then said that she is not in favor of disbursing the money to any other organization because the intent was to use the money for the pavilion at LaMotte Park. Page 8 of 16 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 Mayor Swedberg asked whether Council wants to have the 10% come to the City in the future or get out of it entirely. Council Member Travis indicated he felt the City should get out of the 50% but keep the 10% to be used however Council sees fit under the lawful purposes. It was the consensus of Council to continue receiving the 10% but get out of the practice of holding the 50%. Council Member Capra indicated she would like the Lions to work with the Park and Recreation Committee to construct the pavilion so that the City is actually expending the money rather than giving it to the Lions. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the Park and Recreation Committee should be advised that they are an advisory board and need to come to Council for approvals. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she would not be able to attend the next Park and Recreation Committee meeting. 3. Resolution #02-009 (Establishing Centerville's Polling Place Motion bv Council Member Nelson, seconded bv Council Member Broussard Vickers to approve Resolution #02-009 as presented. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. Council Member Travis asked if Staff had discussed this matter with the school. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff had spoken to the Facility Director and, upon direction from Council, had also received approval from the Principal of the school. 4. Ordinance #68 Legal Publishing Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the City had received the legal description for the no wake line from Mr. Perry and noted Staflwould be publishing the Ordinance. Council Member Capra commented that the Ordinance contained a fine and she had thought Council asked not to have a fine amount listed. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that it was okay to leave the fine amount in the Ordinance because the ordinance was to be reviewed prior to the next time the fine amount would be raised. 5. Moreland & Baron City Attorney Hoeft reported that the Baron's had remedied the situations on their property that the citation was based on. He then indicated that there are other issues that Page 9 of 16 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 needed to be addressed and Mr. Palzer is working with the Barons on those and is to inform him if there is a need to issue a citation for noncompliance. City Attorney Hoeft reported that the Moreland citation went to court in late summer or early fall and the party did not show up so a formal complaint was issued and a new court date issued. He then said he is not sure what the outcome of that court date was and his staff is researching whether there is a warrant issued for this person. Council Member Nelson asked how the Hasiak property was progressing. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Mr. Palzer and Mr. Cook had informed her this afternoon that all the inspections have been completed at the Hasiak property and the certificate of occupancy issued. 6. Volunteer Recognition Picnic Council Member Capra asked for feedback on the draft invitation provided to Council. She then asked whether Council wanted to invite only those residents on the list or open it up to the public to recognize those that have volunteered and promote volunteering for those that have not. She then said she had checked into the price of a helium tank to fill balloons for the kids and had prices for hotdogs, buns, lemonade, chips and paper products. 5~ Council Member Capra said that the E=Seis looking for volunteers to assist with the recognition picnic. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Park and Recreation Committee is looking for adult volunteer help during the open hours at the skate park because the City does not have funds available to staff the skate park full time. She then explained that, if the problems continue, the skate park would be permanently closed and the equipment sold. Mayor Swedberg said he would like to acknowledge those residents that have volunteered in the newspaper. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested there are those volunteers who may not want their names listed in the newspaper and then suggested that an article in the paper thanking volunteers would be more appropriate. Council Member Capra indicated she is having a hard time obtaining names for the invitations and would be afraid that, if names were listed in the paper, someone would be left off the list and have their feelings hurt. Council Member Capra said she would like to have an ad in the newspaper during National Volunteer Week to thank residents for volunteering. She then asked if Council was interested in opening up the picnic to all residents to promote volunteering. Page 10 of 16 City ofCenterville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 Mayor Swedberg asked that the Police Department be invited to the picnic to promote the neighborhood watch program. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested doing a general invitation to all residents to save money on postage. Council Member Capra indicated she would like to personally invite those residents that are to be honored with plaques. Council Member Nelson said she felt the invitation and postage for actual volunteers is a good expense and she would like them all to be invited. Council Member Capra asked for approval to open up the invitation to the general public and noted she would plan for 300 hotdogs. Motion bv Council Member Nelson, seconded bv Council Member Capra to approve an amount UP to $700.00 for the expenses involved with the Volunteer Reco!!nition Picnic durin!! National Volunteer Week. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. 7. Emplovment Policies Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that she had reviewed all the employment policies that Council Member Nelson put together and has started a Centerville suggestion policy. Council Member Nelson asked when Ms. Moore-Sykes would be completed with the project. Ms. Moore-Sykes explained it would be difficult to give a firm date for completion due to her other duties and the many interruptions she faces during the day but said she would have it completed within the two-month timeframe allotted by Council. VIII. NEW BUSINESS I. Centerville Lion's Request for Remaining Button Supplies Council Member Capra indicated she had received an e-mail from the Lions asking that Council consider donating the leftover buttons from the Festival last year. She then suggested the City also donate the wrist bands used to identify age for drinking Motion bv Council Member Capra, seconded bv Council Member Travis to approve donation of the leftover buttons and wrist bands to the Lions as requested.

All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. 4. Nonpoint Education for Municipal Officials Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had attended a recent seminar concerning water quality issues. She then explained that this training recommended silt fencing at every lot as well as gravel driveways at every lot. She further stated that doing so would eliminate the City's issue with winter closings and the mud that is tracked out onto the streets causing a public health issue. Council Member Capra suggested a joint Planning Commission and Council meeting and scheduling the training for that meeting. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that another recommendation was 10 feet of sod along the boulevard to help with erosion. Council Member Travis commented that the City had discussed these matters and decided to implement them but there was some confusion and that did not happen with the developer's agreements. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Mr. Palzer does not get a copy of the developer's agreement and it would be easier to have the requirements included with the enforcement policy or as a City Ordinance. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the Ordinance should be changed because the developer's contract mirrors Ordinances 4A and 8. He then said that the outstanding developer's agreements could be changed to include that language before presented to the developers and Council for approval. Page l20fl6 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes April 10, 2002 It was the consent of Council to have Staff contact the Chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss a date to hold the training. 5. Purchase of Tables Council Member Capra explained that the City's tables are coming apart due to being stored in the well room which is damp. She then asked for permission to purchase tables from Sam's Club that are all plastic and would not suffer from being stored in damp conditions. Council Member Nelson said she feels the City needs tables because there is not enough room to accommodate large meetings. Motion bv Council Member Nelson, seconded bv Council Member Capra to approve the purchase of ei!!ht (8) white plastic tables for a maximum amount of $500.00. Mayor Swedberg asked where the money to purchase the tables would come from. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the money could come from the budget for office supplies. Vote: Ayes - 3. Navs - 2 (Travis/Broussard Vickers). Motion carried. 6. Cablecasting of Planning & Zoning Commission Meetings Mayor Swedberg suggested that all Planning and Zoning Commission meetings that have public hearings be cablecast. He also suggested that any City meeting where a public hearing is held be cablecast. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the Planning and Zoning Commission has never liked the idea of cablecasting its meetings. Motion bv Mavor Swedber!!, seconded bv Council Member Nelson to approve cablecastin!! of any meetin!! that contains a public hearin!!. Aves - 3, N avs - 2 (Travis/Broussard Vickers). Motion carried. Council Member Travis indicated he felt that the Planning Commission should be asked for its opinion on cablecasting meetings before Council decides to do so. IX. CONSENT AGENDA I.

She then noted there was a flier being sent out in utility bills to solicit volunteers to help supervise the skate park. She also explained that any serious problems at the park would mean the ~ would shut down the skate park without approval by the Committee. ~ Mayor Swedberg asked if there would be a better spot for the skate park. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested that no matter where the City were to put the equipment the same individuals would be there to use it and that is the issue not the location.

City Attorney Hoeft indicated he had seen a draft document in his in box upon returning from vacation and said he would review it and provide something for Council review at the next meeting. Council Member Nelson asked if the web site was up and running. Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that the website was not up and running yet but noted that Ms. Stephan is devoting one to two hours per day to getting to know the system. Council Member Nelson asked whether it would be possible to have the City put something in the newspaper to keep residents informed such as the week in review. Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that the skate park flier and a garage sale survey were being sent out with the utility billing. Ms. Moore-Sykes noted that Earth Day for the Quad Cities is being celebrated on April 20,2002 at Wargo Nature Center.

APPEARANCES/ A WARDS 1. Mr. Dale Runkle (Ground Development/Pheasant Marsh) Mr. Dale Runkle, Manager of Pheasant Marsh located at 7575 Golden Valley Road, Golden Valley addressed Council and asked for permission to move ahead with Phase II Page I of 18 -1 City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 of the development. He then indicated Ground Development had selected 7 builders for Phase I that would all have three lots to develop. Mr. Runkle explained that Phase II would be done the same as Phase I with the exception of the fact that they would like to start the improvements earlier in order to have lots available for sale in late fall. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the property was located within MUSA and followed the line as amended in the Comprehensive Plan. Council Member Capra asked whether the request fell within what was approved. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Phase II was to begin between January of 2002 and 2005. He then indicated that the developer's contract for Phase II would need to be finalized and brought to Council for approval. City Engineer Peterson asked how many lots were in Phase II. Mr. Runkle indicated there were 27 lots in Phase II. Mr. Peterson commented that a majority ofthe utilities for Phase II were already installed. Mayor Swedberg asked that the developer be mindful of neighbors during constIuction so as not to negatively impact them. Mr. Runkle indicated that the developer has issues with sewer connections with two of the neighbors but has agreed to work it out 2. Mr. Bill Martin (A TS&R - Centerville Elementary School Remodeling Mr. Bill Martin addressed Council and presented the plans for the Centerville Elementary School remodeling. He pointed out that the 16 year old temporary classrooms would be removed, the loading dock expanded and the kitchen and cafeteria remodeled as well as a new ventilation system. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that she, the Public Works Director and Mr. Martin had met to discuss the plans and all zoning code requirements are met with this proposal. 3. Mr. Bill Bisek (Kellv's Korner), Mr. Dean Keller (Spring Lake Park Lion's) Mr. Bill Bisek of 7098 Centerville Road addressed Council and had with him the Spring Lake Park Lion's gambling manager and Mr. Thell the President of the Centerville Lions. Mr. Bisek explained that when the MS Society moved its charitable gambling operation from Kelly's he did some shopping around and found that the Spring Lake Park Lion's club would be best able to help the Centerville Lions with some projects it wished to do in the community. Page 2 of 18 J~ , City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Mr. Bisek explained that the Centerville Lions had discussed various projects within the community and had decided that a concession building at LaMotte Park would benefit many organizations within the City and decided to set aside monies received from the Spring Lake Park Lions until the $50,000 for materials to build the structure was accumulated. He then explained that the Lions could not send money directly to another Lion's club so the City was used as an entity authorized to receive funds and was to hold them in an account until the dollar amount for the structure was obtained. Mr. Bisek explained that the $1,900 recently received by the City from the Spring Lake Park Lions was intended to payoff the four wheeler that was raffled off in connection with the festival last year. Mr. Bisek explained that the $1,900 should go into the general financials for the Centerville Lions and the $26,000 should be put into a fund to sit and accumulate until the $50,000 goal is reached and the structure can be built at the park. Council Member Capra asked why the Centerville Lions do not have a gambling license. Mr. Bisek indicated that before he was involved with the Lions there was a case of impropriety concerning charitable gambling and the state pulled the Lion's license. He then commented that it is a costly and time-consuming adventure to go into the charitable gambling arena due to employees and fees for licensing and the Club has decided not to seek another license at this time. City Attorney Hoeft explained that once funds are received by the City as a donation there are no conditions or restrictions on those funds which means that legally the City does not have to designate the funds for the structure as requested by the Lions. He then said that politically, if the City made a deal with the Lions, that is a separate issue. Council Member Capra commented there was not a formal written arrangement but a verbal agreement. Mr. Bisek explained that the agreement was reached when Mr. March was the City Administrator. Council Member Capra asked how the City was to handle the $1,900 request legally. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Park and Recreation Committee had discussed the Lions request and understands the issue and will not have a problem with the money being removed from the Park and Recreation budget. Mayor Swedberg asked why the money should come to the City. Mr. Bode explained that the money must be used for civic or community projects and the Lions can only donate funds to a church, school, fire department or the City due to state regulations. He then explained the rationale for having the funds come to the City was Page 3 of 18 .., , , City of Cenlerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 because the funds were earmarked for the pavilion at LaMotte Park which would benefit residents of the City. Mayor Swedberg said he finds it odd that charitable gambling comes to the City and that one Lion's group cannot give to another Lion's group. The Gambling Manager from the Spring Lake Park Lions indicated that in order to be able to donate funds an organization must be a nonprofit 50lC3 corporation and the Lions are a 501C4. Mayor Swedberg asked if the City needed to continue doing this. Mr. Bode indicated the Lions could set up a charitable foundation that would fit the criteria. Council Member Nelson commented that per City Ordinance the City is to receive 50% of the profits and determines what would directly benefit the residents of the City. She then commented that the City should be able to determine whether the funds received go to the Lions Club or other worthwhile causes. She further commented that approval of licenses is subject to compliance with the ordinance requirements. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that even if the funds do not go through the City the Lions would still need Council approval. She then commented that the monies have been accumulating to accomplish a specific goal and noted that Council does not base license approval on approving all expenditures. Mayor Swedberg asked why it was necessary to run the money through the books of the City. Mr. Bode indicated that the Centerville Lions contribute small amounts to various causes in the community as well as through Lions International. He then explained that the Lions run into a shortage of funds for large projects like the pavilion and using gambling funds through the Spring Lake Park Lions would enable the Lions to help provide a pavilion for LaMotte Park that would benefit many organizations and residents of the City. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested the Lions set up a foundation and come to the City when ready to request disbursement of the funds. Council Member Nelson asked whether the City would be held responsible if the Lions spent the funds on something that is not allowed. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that if the City gives the funds to the Lions and they are spent in a way that the City felt was not civically responsible that would be an issue for discussion at the next re-licensing. Page 4 of 18 ,~ . City of CenterviIJe Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Council Member Nelson asked if the City could be held liable for money spent incorrectly. City Attorney Hoeft explained that the Lions were aware that legally the Lions could not give to another Lions club and, since the City Administrator was a Lion, suggested that the City receive and hold the funds. He then explained that the City does not have to give the funds back legally but that is for Council to decide. He further indicated he would like to see the City get out of the business of handing charitable gambling funds and suggested the Lions find another entity in town that qualifies or form one themselves. He also commented that doing so would be a protection for the Lions because Council's change and this Council may agree and make a deal with the Lions but the next one may not. Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested setting up the right organization and contacting the City to let the City know when to release the funds. The Spring Lake Park Gambling Manager indicated that another $8,000 was in process and would be coming to the City. V. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES I. March 13. 2002. Council Meeting Minutes Council Member Capra requested that on Page 2, the word "troop" be changed to "pack." Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers, secouded bv Council Member Nelson to approve the March 13. 2002 Council Minutes as amended. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VI. PETITIONS AND COMPLAINTS None. VII. OLD BUSINESS 1. Prooosed Ordinance #68 - No Wake/Surface Use of Motorized Watercraft on Peltier Lake Mayor Swedberg explained that this would be the last night to discuss and comment on this matter before Council voted on it. Mr. Jeff Perry from Anoka County read for Council the Lino Lakes Council motion and approved Ordinance. He then indicated that the county surveyor would need to provide a legal description for the no wake line. Page 5 of 18 .\ . City of Ceoterville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Mr. Perry indicated that the County was at Monday's public hearing in Lino Lakes and made its recommendation but none of the recommendations were adopted by Lino Lakes. He theu read the County's recommendation for Council. Council Member Capra asked how far from the southern most end of the island in feet the County's first proposal was. Mr. Perry indicated it was approximately 350 feet and noted the second recommendation is approximately 350 feet as well but angled northeast. Council Member Nelson commented that the City had reached a consensus of 200 feet south of the island running straight across. Mr. Perry continued reading the County's recommendation and finalized his comments by stating that the County wants to improve the quality of natural resources by keeping human intervention at a minimum on the north end of the lake. Council Member Nelson asked whether Mr. Perry felt the 200 feet straight across was adequate to stop the damage to aquatic plants and help with the birds. Mr. Perry commented that the County feels the farther south the line is placed the better for the habitat at the north end of the lake and then said he feels that any of the three alternatives provided would do an adequate job. Ms. Nancy Bowring of 7608 Peltier Lake Drive indicated she had polled the neighbors in her area and they are all in favor of a no wake zone but six of the nine want it straight across because of concern with boaters and swimmers and 8 of the 9 want it angled up if it does not go straight across. She then indicated a primary concern for them is the herons and aquatic vegetation rather than being concerned about a no wake zone in front of their homes, Council Member Capra commented that to get out to a five-foot depth the swimmers have to go out a good distance and could be in the path of boaters. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether all residents polled live in the wedge area to the northeast. Ms. Bowring indicated that was true. Ms. Bowring indicated she had received a call from a neighbor that saw a heron fly from the island. Mr. Lindner of 7413 Peltier Lake Drive provided more facts and information. He then showed a picture of an eagle confirming that the eagles were back before the herons. Council Member Capra asked whether herons return to the same nests or if they build new nests each year. Page 6 of 18 . City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Mr. Perry indicated they do return on occasion and improve on last year's nest. He then indicated he had been out at the island before the meeting and saw 14 herons working on nesting sites. Mr. Lindner read through the information provided to Council. Mr. Lindner complained that approval of the no wake ordinance would reduce the recreation area of the lake to 235 acres and he thinks that is setting up the lake for failure. Council Member Capra asked Mr. Lindner to define failure. . Mr. Lindner commented that the City would be congesting all users to one end of the lake. Mr. Lindner read more of his paperwork and suggested Council was not hearing the voice of the lakeshore owners. Council Member Capra read a report of her conversation with Chuck Johnson from Rice Creek Watershed District. Council Member Travis asked whether the Peltier Lake Association had met since the meeting on March 4, 2002. Mr. Lindner indicated that there had not been time to meet because of all the city meetings in Lino Lakes and Centerville. Council Member Nelson said she agreed that Council had asked the Association to come back with a proposal. She then explained that she would like to see the no wake line as far south as possible making this a compromise for her. Mr. Richard Thompson of 1657 Peltier Lake Drive indicated that many people spoke at the Association meeting and, when asked for input, the Association determined it would be nice to use the bog poles as the no wake line. It was also discussed that those residents at lilt: northeast end of the lake may not like having the no wake zone in tront of their docks and that is why angling the line was suggested. He then commented that the experts recommend the line go straight across in the interest of public safety and he is fine with that. Council Member Capra indicated she was surprised to know that Clearwater Creek drains into Peltier Lake as well as many other tributaries. Quit Evis addressed Council and indicated he lives on Lake Owasso and explained that after wasting taxpayer dollars Ramsey County determined that the people best able to manage the lake are the lake shore owners. Page 7 of 18 . I City of CeotervilJe Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Mr, Evis indicated that the Association at his lake determined there would be no restrictions. He then said the Association focuses on safety, water quality, monitors fishing and recreational activities. They also have a weed control program and a wildlife management program all run by the Association. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked what in the ordinance would preclude the Peltier Lake Association from managing the lake as described by Mr. Evis. Mr. Evis indicated he was attempting to point out that the best source of information and best management for the lake is the lake association because the residents will tell you what going on. Council Member Travis said he does not agree with that because there are experts who have schooling and experience for handling these types of issues. Mr. Evis said he was not taking anything away from the expert testimony but commented that if you give the dimensions of a bumble bee to an aeronautical engineer he would tell you it could not fly but no one ever told a bumble bee he could not fly. He then commented that the no wake zone shrinks the recreational size of the lake and causes congestion, He also commented that enforcement of the no wake zone will cost the City money. Council Member Capra asked what the depth of Lake Owasso was. Mr. Evis indicated the depth ranged from two feet to 35 feet. Council Member Capra said she did not feel it was appropriate to compare the two lakes because there is no information on how many lakes drain into that lake, She then agreed that the lake owners are a good source of information as to what is going on around the lake but they are not the best source for the management of algae and water quality, Mr. Evis commented that the lake association takes care of the lake and said the City needs to work with the association and listen to what it has to say. Ms. Donna Carlson of 1590 East Shadow Lake Drive addressed Council and said that she regrets that the Lino Lakes Council did not work well with Centerville on this ordinance and she hopes that in the future the two cities can work together better. She then commented that Lino Lakes did not listen to the experts or Staff concerning the sunset clause. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that, if the City wanted the no wake zone and wanted it to be enforceable, the City would need to adopt the same ordinance as Lino Lakes and that would need to include the sunset clause because Lino Lakes did. Page 8 of 18 . . City of CenterviiIe Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Mayor Swedberl! to Adollt Ordinance #68 for a No Wake/Surface Use of Motorized Watercraft on Peltier Lake as prollosed by Lino Lakes with the sunset clause. Council Member Nelson said she is concerned by the lack of communication between the two cities and she feels really insulted that Lino Lakes would not compromise with Centerville on the sunset clause. Council Member Broussard Vickers said it was more important to ensure that the no wake zone takes effect in time to protect the birds than to argue with Lino Lakes over the sunset clause. She then suggested discussing the matter with Lino Lakes in the future to consider extending the no wake ordinance. Council Member Capra indicated she had attended both the work session and Council Meeting in Lino Lakes because she was interested in information as to why Lino Lakes wanted the sunset clause and it seems that one Council Member wanted to have the sunset clause as a way to hold staff accountable for bringing the matter back for review to see if the no wake ordinance did any good or if this is another useless law. Council Member Capra indicated that Mr. Brushell had said he would take on the responsibility of making sure that the Ordinance was reviewed yearly but the recommendation fell on deaf ears. She then said she is disappointed that Lino Lakes Council did not listen to the experts or its own Staff concerning the sunset clause and she feels they did so out of fear of precedent setting for the future. She further commented that she feels the actions of the Lino Lakes Council were disrespectful to Centerville because Centerville's only request was to eliminate the sunset clause and Centerville would have been amenable to adding a clause to the Joint Powers Agreement to require mandatory aunual review to determine whether the no wake ordinance was working. Council Member Nelson said she feels there are more issues that the cities of Lino Lakes, Centerville and Hugo will be working on together and she thinks Council should go the extra step of going back to Lino Lakes to discuss this matter because she does not feel there was a compromise on the part of Lino Lakes and the two cities did not work very well together. Council Member Travis said he wanted to make sure that the Peltier Lake Homeowner's Association knows that their concerns did not fall on deaf ears. He then said that a compromise was made where both sides did not get exactly what they wanted. He also said that he agreed with Mr. Evis that the lake association is the best steward of the lake but that lake does not have a heron rookery. He further stated that he is not concerned with the sunset as much as he is with doing what is best for Peltier Lake. Mayor Swedberg said he and Council appreciated the efforts and comments of the experts and residents concerning the no wake ordinance. He then said he is not sure that the ordinance will help the birds but whether the birds stay or go may be a sign of the overall habitat of the lake and he wants to protect that habitat, if possible. He further said Page 9 of 18 . . City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 the City has had its hands tied by Lino Lakes concerning the sunset clause because, if the City wants the Ordinance to be enforceable, then it must adopt the same language. Mayor Swedberg commented that, if the ordinance does not appear to be working as written, there is always the option of amending the ordinance. He then said he did not think the City would be looking at heavy enforcement of the ordinance because it is simply a matter of manners. Council Member Capra asked City Attorney Hoeft what would happen with the Lino Lakes ordinance if Centerville voted to table. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the ordinance would go into effect but Lino Lakes has the ability to amend it at any time. Vote: All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Council Member Capra. seconded by Council Member Nelson to direct staff to invite Lino Lakes to a ioint work session to discuss Ordinance #68 and other related joint issues. Ayes - 3. Nays - 2 (Swedberg/Broussard Vickers). Motion carried. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member Nelson to approve the Joint Powers Al!reement with Lino Lakes as presented. Councii Member Capra asked if the Joint Powers Agreement could be amended. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that it could be. . Vote: All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Council recessed at 8:35 p.m. Council Member Capra thanked all those that gave testimony on the issue. Council reconvened at 8:45 p.m. 2. Pheasant Marsh Final Plat/Developers Agreement Mr. Dale Runkle of Ground Development addressed Council and asked that Council follow the Ordinance and allow Ground Development to post a surety bond for private improvements rather than the letter of credit. He then indicated that the letter of credit affects the company's ability to borrow funds for other projects and the surety bond would provide the security needed by the City to ensure that the company will do what it says it will do. Page 100fl8 .. . . City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the surety bond is harder for the City to draw on than the letter of credit. City Attorney Hoeft agreed and indicated he would provide comments when Mr. Runkle was finished speaking. Mr. Runkle indicated there are other mechanisms for ensuring compliance such as holding up permits for the next phase until the current phase is completed to the City's satisfaction. He then said that Ground Development is not asking for anything strange or unusual but simply wants to be allowed to follow the City's own ordinance. Mr. Runkle commented that he has an issue with the developer's agreement calling for a two-year warranty period because he did not see anything in the ordinance that specified two years. Mr. Runkle pointed out a typographical error on Page 8, the figure $9,600 should be $39,600. City Attorney Hoeft explained that the developer's agreement was a document that was discussed and negotiated at length with Mr. Hannah. He then said if the developer is no longer in agreement with the document the document could be completely renegotiated. City Attorney Hoeft explained that a letter of credit is easier for the City to draw upon because the bank agrees to issue that amount of credit to the developer and the developer authorizes the City to draw upon that for noncompliance. If it is necessary for the City to draw upon those funds, the City contacts the bank and the funds are released whereas a surety bond is issued by a bonding company that banks on the fact that it will not have to payout and is very reluctant to do so. The City would end up in a costly legal process to eventually obtain those funds. City Attorney Hoeft indicated the matter is not as simple as saying I do not like the wording of this document and asking that it be changed here and there. The document was negotiated and agreed to by both parties and, if the other party does not like the agreement, then the City would start negotiations over again. He also commented that the number error referred to would not have an impact on the City because the dollar amount is spelled out in a formula just prior to the error. Mayor Swedberg asked whether Mr. Hannah had resigned from Ground Development. Mr. Runkle indicated that he had. Mayor Swedberg said he did not envy Mr. Runkle's position but said the City had discussed the issues at length with Mr. Hannah and had come to agreement. Mr. Runkle said he based his requests on his background in the public sector and feels he should be able to use the ordinance requirement of a surety bond and does not think it should be necessary to completely renegotiate the document for two items. He then commented that the effect of what the letter of credit does compounds because Ground Development is developing in other communities as well. Page 11 of18 ~. , City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Mr. Runkle commented that in his many years of experience he has never had a bond or letter of credit called and asked whether the City had ever needed to do so. Council Member Travis indicated the City did call one bond Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the letter of credit IS lU the document to protect the City. Council Member Broussard Vickers said she likes the protection that the letter of credit gives the City and she does not think that the dollar amount should be an issue for a corporation the size of Ground Development. She also noted that the amount could be lowered as improvements are completed. Council Member Nelson indicated with the exception of the typographical error on Page 8 she is not interested in making any changes to the document. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Mr. Runkle has interpreted the Ordinance to allow for an alternative security measure and said the City could amend the ordinance to specifically allow only for the letter of credit to clarifY the situation. Mayor Swedberg said the document was agreed upon after lengthy discussions with Mr. Hannah. He then indicated that Mr. Hannah had made the same arguments at the time the document was drafted. Council Member Capra said she is not interested in changing the security based on the fact that the City has had issues in the past. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked Staff to make sure that the trail lines up with Centerville Road as requested. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Mr. Runkle had asked him to provide the legal description for the easements and he will be doing that. Mr. Runkle suggested that it would be better if the City clarified the ordinance to indicate that only a letter of credit is permissible because he interprets the ordinance to allow for an alternative mechanism. Council directed Staff to ask the PlaJming and Zoning Commission to revIew the ordinance. 3. The Shores Final PlatlDeveloper's Agreement Mr. Rehbein indicated he had no concerns at this time. Page 12 of18 .~ . City of Cenlerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 City Attorney Hoeft indicated he had provided Mr. Rehbein's attorney with a template of the developer's agreement and understood that he would be drafting the document. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that the Park and Recreation Commission had heard that the County had obtained the funding necessary to widen County Road 14 and is suggesting that, in lieu of installing the trail, Mr. Rehbein provide a monetary equivalent to the City for use on a trail way in another location. Mr. Rehbein asked if there is a standard per foot cost for the trail way . Mr. Rehbein indicated he would like to come in for his grading permit before recording the final plat because by the end of May he will have paid off the contract for deed and there will not be a need to mail documents across the country for signatures. City Attorney Hoeft indicated he had discussed the matter with Mr. Rehbein's attorney and hilS no issue with it. He then commented that the owners of the property incur some liability in that dirt is being moved and costs incurred before the property has completely changed hands. Council Member Capra asked whether Mound Court is the size of a City street. Mr. Peterson indicated that it met city street requirements. Council Member Nelson asked if Mr. Rehbein was going to want an overweight permit. Mr. Rehbein indicated he would be attempting to obtain an access permit from Anoka County. Mayor Swedberg asked Mr. Rehbein to ensure that none of the houses would be closer to the lake than 75 feet. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had received an e-mail from the Fire Chief concerning the location of the hydrants and noted she would pass the information along to the engineer and the developer. r).R+L' Mr. Rehbein asked ifit would be possible to receive a vote on the final plat. City Attorney Hoeft indicated Council could do so conditioned on approval of the developer's agreement. He then asked if the City Engineer had reviewed the final plat. Mr. Peterson indicated he did not have any issues with the plat. ' Motion bv Conncil Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member Nelson to approve the final plat for The Shores subiect to final ene:ineerine: approval and approval of the developer's ae:reement. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. Page 13 ofl8 ",~. . .. ; City ofCenterville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 4. Emplovment Policies Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that with all the activities going on at City Hall she had looked at the employment policy but had not started to incorporate any ideas into it. She then indicated she had spoken to the auditor and he is in support of it. VIII. NEW BUSINESS I. Centerville PoIling Location for the 2002 Elections (Centerville Elementary) Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the Clerk had requested that Council consider moving the polling location to the school because City Hall is not large enough to support a polling location. Council Member Capra asked Staff to contact the principal of the school to determine whether there would be any issues concerning safety or security because the person contacted by Staff is the facility use coordinator not the principal. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded by Mayor Swedber!! to approve movin~ the Centerville pollin!! location to the Centerville Elementary School pendin!! approval by the school. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 2. Earth Dav Promotional Items (Update) Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City had received Ii memo from Peggy Baumann requesting that the City donate $537.50 of its SCORE Grant for earth day events, Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if there were funds available. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City had received $15,000 from the County for recycling programs. Council Member Capra asked Staff to determine where Ms. Baumann is from and whether or not the funds would be used for the Wargo Nature Center Earth Day program. Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member Travis to approve an amount up to $600.00 to the facilitators of earth day to be used for the promotion of earth day activities for the benefit of Centerville. Council Member Capra suggested a friendly amendment to require that the funds be spent on earth day promotion for the benefit of the community of Centerville. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would look into the matter. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Page 14 of 18 . , " City of Centerville Council Meetings March 27, 2002 IX. CONSENT AGENDA 1.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Council Member Broussard Vickers reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission had received information that the County had received funding for widening County Road 14 to four lanes from 35W to 35E and is scheduled to begin construction in 2005 or 2006. Mayor Swedberg indicated the City would be discussing the matter with the County. Mayor Swedberg asked Ms. Moore-Sykes to write a letter to County Commissioner Langfeld to request further information on the project. Council Member Capra indicated the Cable Commission did not meet due to lack of a quorum. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the Economic Development Commission had asked if there was money or grants available for water downtown. Council Member Capra indicated she had told them there was no money in the budget but said Council would be reviewing the matter in August during budget negotiations. She then indicated the Commission would like to pursue the option of grants because the Commission feels water downtown would greatly increase the business opportunities. Council Member Capra indicated that the Commission discussed having its business appreciation dinner on May 21,2002. Council Member Capra reported that the Commission discussed volunteer appreciation day and wants to keep the business appreciation dinner separate.

Deferred Comp Report City Attorney Hoeft reported that Mr. McDonald and Mr. Heefuer had prepared a draft of the letter to the Attorney General and he will be reviewing it shortly. Council Member Capra asked whether the IRS had been contacted. City Attorney Hoeft indicated he had not talked to Mr. Heefner but will ask him about the IRS situation. 2. Finance Director (Update) Ms. Moore-Sykes reported the City would be conducting interviews from 10:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. on March 28, 2002 for four candidates. She then asked that Council be at City Hall by 9:45 p.m. to discuss how she likes to run interviews. 3. Logis (Update) Ms. Moore-Sykes provided Council with a report from Logis. She then pointed out that the major computer concern for the City is that the backups are not adequate enough to provide for retrieval in the event of a major meltdown. She also indicated that the City would need a network server to do an adequate backup and said the City has no current antivirus software. Mayor Swedberg expressed concern with the recommendation of Office SP because windows is more stable and less hackproff. He then commented that businesses have been going with windows over office because of reliability issues. He further commented that he is not sure how to pay for this system. Ms. Moore-Sykes suggested using the $17,000 from the intern's position. Mayor Swedberg expressed concern that, when creating this much hardware, the City would be creating a systems administrator position to run this system. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the joint powers agreement between the cities allows for more purchasing power as well as technical support but it comes with a price. She then said she had provided the information for review and it would be discussed further at a later date. Council Member Nelson said she would like to wait until the City knows what its liabilities will be. Page 16 of 18 City of CenterviIle Council Meetings March 27, 2002 Council Member Broussard Vickers asked how long it would take to implement the system if it is approved. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated it would take three or four months to implement the system. Council Member Nelson clarified the City is backing up and is not at risk of losing information. 4. ABDO, ABDO, Eick & Meyers (2001 Audit - March 25 - 27,2002) Update) Ms. Moore-Sykes reported that the audit was moved up and should be finished by Friday. Council recessed to executive session at 9:45 p.m. Discussion ensued regarding the performance evaluation of the City Clerk. No formal action was taken. Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded bv Council Member Nelson to adiourn the Executive Session at 10:07 n.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv. The regularly scheduled Council meeting was reconvened at 10:07 p.m. Council directed the City Administrator to place the step increase for the City Clerk on the Consent Agenda for the April 10, 2002 Council meeting. Council discussed issues regarding the non-exempt status of the Public Works Director. Council member Nelson stated that she felt that the non-exempt status of the Public Works Director needed to be examined and researched. It was her feeling that Mr. Palzer should have an exempt status if it is determined that it is what his status should be. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that the Council needed to weigh the issue carefully as Mr. Palzer is against having his status modified and the City may lose a valuable employee. Councilmember Broussard Vickers indicated that if it is determined that that position is indeed exempt, then that exempt status should be implemented with the next Public Works Director. She indicated that she would not be in favor of changing to an exempt status for Mr. Palzer. Council members Capra and Travis also indicated that they would be in favor of evaluating the exempt status of the position rather than the incumbent. Councilmember Travis did feel that the $3,000 to $4,000 of overtime is substantial enough to merit a review of the position. Mr. Hoeft indicated that he could do the evaluation and when asked about the cost to do this investigation, he stated that it would be about $300 to $500. Council directed Staff and the City Attorney to look into the issues. Council also requested that Ms. Moore- Sykes check with the Public Works Director about his building inspection duties and resultant overtime.

Among other problems, the Interchange has sight distance deficiencies, and its narrowness creates traffic congestion on the easterly and westerly approaches to the Interchange on CSAH 14, as well as creating congestion on I-35E; and, WHEREAS, The Cities are expecting to continue to experience substantial growth which will worsen the traffic conditions present at the Interchange and which will be sufficient to cause additional congestion on I-35E; and, WHEREAS, The Cities are aware that the Minnesota Department of Transportation has considered the CSAH 14/I-35E project as a potential candidate for improvements. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby mutually resolved as follows: I. Each of The Cities has observed that the Interchange's current condition and configuration is insufficient to safely accommodate existing and expected traffic at and around the intersection, and will continue to create congestion and safety problems. Z.The Cities respectfully request that the Minnesota Department of Transportation accelerate, however possible, its consideration of improvements to the Interchange and endeavor to give the Interchange high priority for reconstruction. 3. Each of The Cities, to the extent reasonably possible, pledges to work closely with each other, the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and any other regulatory, , ) administrative or governmental body, to accomplish improvements to the Interchange at the earliest possible time.

On Monday, the only major conference committee to meet was the transpor- tation finance panel. The budget reconciliation conference conunittee canceled its meeting as did the stadium conference committee. and the bonding conference committee has not reconvened since its first meeting nearly three weeks ago. Although most of the major bills are now in conference conunittees. the differences between the House and Senate positions on the budget deficit and on transportation funding are significant. The final resolution of those differences could take a week, or perhaps a month. In addition, the Legislature must resolve other major issues, including the bonding bill, an anti-terrorism bill, a stadium bill, and a state employee contract that must be ratified. The budget conference committee met fOr the first time last Thursday, but after 2 Mi hours of discussion, the members only had a more complete understanding of the vast differences between the House and Senate positions. The committee met again on Friday to take public testimony for nearly a full day on the House and Senate proposals. Pemaps the best indication nf the rift between the House and Senate was captured in a volley between the two chairs. 'In response to a question from Sen. Doug Johnson (DFL- Tower), Rep. Kevin Goodno (R-Moorhead) indicated he hoped the committee wonld complete its work by Christmas. He must have been referring to a special session given that the state's Constitution requires the regular session to end by May 20. The House budget reconciliation conference committee members are Rep. Kevin Goodno (R-Moothead), Rep. Ron Abrams (R-Minnetonka), Rep. Phil Krinkie (R -Shoreview), Rep.Alice Seagren (R-Bloomington), and Rep.Tom Pugh (DFL-South St. Paul). The Senate members are Sen. DougJohnson (DFL-Tower),Sen. Larry Pugemiller (DFL-Minneapolis), Sell. Len Price (DFL- Woodbury), Sen. Linda Berglin (DFL-Minneapolis), and Sen. Dick Day (R-Owatouna). House IIudpt proposal The House proposal utilizes funds in the tobacco endowment by effectively transferring more than $300 million in funds to me state's general fund. The plan also makes further cuts in broad state spending categories, including health and human service cuts, enviromnent and natural resources cuts, family and early childhood spending reductions, and additional cuts in state govermnent operations. Senate IIudget proposal The Senate proposal refinances with bonds $245 million in transportation projects that were originally funded with cash in the 2000 omnibus trans- portation bill In addition, the bill delays certain K-12 education payments to school districts, which saves the state general fund more than $300 mil- lion in immediate costs. The remain- der of the state's cash flow account is tapped, and the remainder of the workers' compensation special fund reserve is used to cover the shortfall. Unlike the House, the Senate plan would increase a number of taxes; most notably, tobacco and cigarette taxes. The Senate would also restore some of the cuts for the current biennium that were enacted in Phase I, and would restore the inflationary increase assumptions for K-12 expenditures fur the 2004-05 biennium. The budget conference committee is scheduled to meet at 2 p.rn. today to continue consideration of public testimony. The bonding and stadium conference committees do not have meetings schednled. We may be here 'til May. ..

Grassroots actions push phosphorus legislation Jennifer O'Rourke Remi Stone Cities :lIe a few steps closer to having another tool to help keep local waters clean. Early last week, the House passed the phosphorus lawn furtilizer restric- tion bill with a gigantic margin of 116 to 16. While debate on the bill took three hours, opponents of the bill were unable to attach any of their amendments. A conference conunittee met Thmsday to work out the differ- ences between the House and Senate and finalized the bill's language, preparing it for its journey to the governor's office. This first-in-the-nation piece of legislation establishes a use restriction for fertilizer containing phosphorus of 3 percent limit in greater Minnesota and a 0 percent limit in the seven- county metropolitan area. Exceptions are made to allow the use of phospho- rus in lawn fert:ifuer fur new turf and soil deficiencies. The law does not affect fertilizers used for agr;icultural purposes. The law preempts the enfurcement of sale restriction ordinances adopted after Aug. 1,2002. The law becomes effective Jan. 1, 2004, giving the fertilizer industry 18 months to adjust fur the law. Interestingly. several fertilizer manufac- tures and retailers, such as E.C. Grow and Menard's, are already providing zero phosphorus fertilizers for the summer of2002 market demands. Next stop for thebill will be the governor's desk where it is likely to become law. The bill seems to have snpport from within the executive branch to become law. Dean Barkley, director of Minnesota Planning and a resident of Plymouth, testified on the bill in Senate committees. The League has also been working on the issue with a variety of groups and with the governor's office. Many have championed the bill throughout the legislative process. House chief-author Rep. Peggy Leppik (R-Golden Valley) presented the bill, managed the floor debate, and handled all questions. Other represen- tatives speaking in favor of the bill on the House floor included: Rep. Dennis Ozment (R-Rosemount), Rep. Ted Winter (DfL-Fulda), Rep.Al Juhnke (DFL-Willrnar), Rep. Margaret Anderson Kelliber (DfL-Minneapolis), Rep. Henry K.ilis (DFL- Wells), and Rep. Ron Erhardt (R-Edina). On the Senate side, Sen. Linda Higgins (DfL- Minneapolis) chief-authored the bill and worked extremely well with all those with interests in the bill City officials and staff are to be commended fur their involvement with local legislators. Thanks to everyone who made phone calls, e-rnails, and personally contacted their legislators. a- Recognizing Minnesota cities for building quality communities Each year the League of Minnesota Cities Awa.n:Is Program honors the outstanding contributions of elected and appointed officials, and recognizes city innovation and excellence.

AprIl 10,2002 Page 3 I Fireworks provision approved by' ull House Anne Finn After hours of intense debate, the full House passed a measure that would allow limited sale and personal use of fireworks in periods around July 4th and New Year's. The measure, approved 81 to 52, had been added to a less con- rroversial bill relating to volunteer fire- fighters (SF 2%0) during a hearing in the House Ways & Means Committee. In summary, the provision would: . Require purchasers to be at least 18 years old and to sign a waiver. . Places where fireworks would be sold would have to be free-standing and licensed. . Novelty fireworks, such as sparklers, snaps, and snakes, could be sold year-round at retail stores. 4M Fund update An investment alternative sponsored by the league of Minnesota Cities The4ll1'oni The 4M Fund is a. short-term investment option designed specifically for Minnesota municipalities to provide safety, daily liquidity, and a competitive yield.

Wes Skoglund (DFL-Minneapo- lis) failed, which would have removed the entire fireworks provision from the bill, the House approved an amend- ment offered by Rep.Andy Dawkins (DFL-St. Paul) that would allow local governments to put restrictions on fireworks, sueb as limiting the hours of use, but not prohibiting the use of fireworks, during designated periods. T~origina1Semtefirewmksbill was defeated in committee and was later narrowed to a "sparklers-ouly" bill. The narrowed version was referred to the Crime Prevention Committee and was never heard. It is unclear whether the Senate will concur with the provision. One of the Leagne's legislative policies opposes the legalization of fireworks for public safety reasous. Fireworks have been illegal in Minne- sota for more than 60 years... Receiving duplicates? Incorrect addresses? . New person in position? Let us know.

Ann Higgins The League has received a request from the National League of Cities (NLC) to w:ge cities in Minnesota to join a national strategy to respond to recent actions by the Federal Com- munications Commission (FCC). NLC is developing a challenge to the FCC declaratory ruling that cable modem service offered over local cable systems is an information service, not subject either to state or federal tele- communications regulations nor to local cable franchise requirements or to federal cable service regulation. The FCC also issued a further notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that raises questions about how cable modem service, which the FCC has termed an "interstate information service," should be treated vis-a-vis access to public rights-of-way as well as with regard to other community and subscriber interests. NLC has voiced its concern about the importance of the FCC ruling and the adverse impact on local government revenues. A nwnber of cable companies, including AT&T, Charter, and Time-Warner, have already told local cable franchise authorities they are halting payment of cable franchise fees on revenues from cable modem services they offer. NLC has noted that as major stake- holders in this debate, cities are the single, largest landlord for cable system operators and telephone companies, and that the loss of franchise fee revenues has implications fur city funds. The League encourages cities to refrain from submitting comments to the FCC since NLC plans to work in collaboration with cities and other local government associations to address the important issues raised by tl)e FCC actions. The League agrees that working with NLC and with other national associatio~uch as NATO^, which represents local cable franchise authorities-allows local governments to speak with one voice on these important concerns. NLC is planning to develop comments to be submitted to the FCC on behalf ofNLC direct member cities (61 cities in Minnesota are direct members) and other local government groups. NLC also plans to develop a brief set of questions for cities to help collect data and deter- mine the amount and implications of city revenue losses. And, NLC is examining other legal options in the cotuts, plans to communicate to members of Congress the impact of the FCC ruling on cities, and to work on a legislative remedy. I" Transportation funding conference committee convenes Anne Finn If you have been fullowing the legislative debate over transportation issues, you know the bills that have emerged from the House and Senate have little in common. The Senate bill includes a gas tax increase, indexing of the gas tax, and a referendum provision relating to a metropolitan area sales tax to fund both highways and transit. The House bill authorizes the issuance of $750 million in trunk highway bonds and contains no funding fur transit or local roads. Last week, the House and Senate named the conferees that will be charged with negotiating a transporta- tiou-funding package (HF 3364/ SF 2812). House conferees are: Rep. William Kuisle (R-Rochester),Rep. Mary Liz Holberg (R-Lakeville), Rep. Al Jnhnke (OFL-Willmar), Rep. Tony Kielkucki (R-Lester Prairie), and Rep. Tom Workman (R-Chanhassen). Senate conferees are: Sen. Dean Johnson (OFL- Willmar), Sen. Dave Johnson (OFL-Bloomington), Sen. Mark Ourada (R-Buffulo), Sen. Julie Sabo (OFL-Minneapolis), and Sen. Roy Terwilliger (R-Edina). The committee has met to hear staff overviews of the bills and to take testimony on transportation needs.As this issue of the Cities Bulletin goes to priot, conferees have yet to begin negotiating publicly. It appears both sides will have to make major com- promises if the Legislature is to pass a transportation-funding bill this session. 'I" April 10,2002 Page 5 .

Epinephrine mandate approved in Senate Anne Finn The Senate last week adopted a provision, on a 37 to 26 vote, that would require ambulances in Minnesota to carry a supply of epinephrine, a medicine that treats allergic reactions. The measure also requires that at least one hour of the current 48-hour continuing education requirement for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) license renewal be instruction in the administration of the medicine. The provision is effective July 1,2003. Accotding to proponents of the measure, most ambulances already carry a supply of epinephrine. The requirement would simply ensure that all ambu- lances carry the drug. Opponents argued the Legislature shouldn't interfere with emergency service providers because they are already voluntarily including the medicine on ambulances. Opponents said the requirement would exacer- bate financial problems for some small, struggling services. The provision was an amendment to HF 3359 (Wiener, DFL-Eagm), a bill relating to nurses' certification requirements. The House did not add the provision to the bill, which means the issue may have to be resolved in a conferencecomml.ttee. .. Additional liquor licenses granted for six cities Jennifer O'Rourke Gov.Ventura signed Chapter 318 into law last week (HF 3058, Stang,R-Cold Spring)/SF 2739, Metzen, DFL-South Saint Paul), giving a number of specific cities the authority to issue additional intoxicating liquor licenses. Cities receiving authorization for additional liquor licenses include;Albert Lea (3), Brainard (5), Coon Rapids (6), Eden Prairie (5), Proctor (3), and West Saint Paul (2). The number in brackets refers to the number of additional liquor licenses authorized to the city. .. New ambulance fee schedule released Anne Finn The Center for Medicaid & Medicare Services has released the new ambu- lance fee schedule. The changes will reduce ambulance revenue in Minne- sota by an estimated $37 million (out of$140 million in charges). Rural ambulance services will be particularly affected by the change since Medicare beneficiaries are disproportionately rural and since the fee schedule is a volutne-dependent payment method- ology. The new ree schedule was effective beginning April 1 ,2002. The Minnesota Ambulance Association continues to work with Minnesota's congressional delegation for solutions to help prevent ambu- lance service failures.

Despite bipartisan agreement earlier in the session to address nearly $2 billion of the state's deficit and a subsequent bipartisan override of the governor's veto, the House and Senate cannot agree on a furmnla to address the """,;n;ng $439 million deficit. Much of the disagreement appears to be focused over whether the Legislature should begin to address the 2004-05 projected deficit by raising taxes. On Monday, House Speaker Steve Sviggum publicly suggested the session might end without a resolution to the remaining 2002-03 biennial deficit. Sviggum's announcement that a growing number of House members are leaning toward a<ljournment was a continuation oflast week's unrest. At the end of the floor session on Thursday, Rep. Len Biernat (DFL-Minneapolis) ofrered a motion to adjourn sine die. Several members fiom both parties opposed the motion, essentially agreeing that adjournment would be shiIking their legislative responsibility. Rep. Mike Osskopp (R-Lake City) went as fur as suggesting that members who would rather leave than finish the people's work should resign their seats. In the end, Biernat withdrew his motion. Although the motion was with- drawn, House Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty indicated that ifprogress is not forthcoming, the House majority might take "significant action" as early as this week. It now appears the sig- nificant action might be a motion to adjourn that could receive sufficient support from the House majority. Ending the session without a legislative solution to the state's budget would throw the responsibility of balancing the budget to the governor. The governor could either call a special session in an attempt to furce law- makers to address the budget deficit or he could exercise his unallotment authority where he could Irulke cuts in state spending, including state aids to cities. Last week's /JaIJy steps Last Thursday evening, the Budget Reconciliation Conference Commit- tee considered an offer fiom the Senate that would cover the remaining $439 million state budget deficit for the current biennium and would begin to address the 2004-05 projected biennial shortfall. Friday morning, the House responded with its version of a compromise. House Chair Kevin Goodno described the Senate proposal as "baby steps;' while Sen. Doug Johnson said the House proposal was "mosquito steps." Last week's Senate offer included $245 million in one-time savings by refinancing transportation projects originally financed in 2000.The other major components include a one-time shift of school aid payments that will save more than $310 million this biennium, and the controversial increase in the cigarette and tobacco taxes that would generate an additional $313 mil- lion in revenue this biennium and more than $453 million in 2004-05. Although House members seemed somewhat pleased that an offer was made, they clearly have stroug concerns about the content of the Senate offer. In addition to their concerns over the tax increases in the offer, House members questioned the Senate move to restore some of the spending teductions contained in the Phase I plan. The House counteroffer unveiled on Friday morning solves the current biennial shortfulllargely through the use of$347 million of the state's tobacco endowment. The plan also saves $46 million in health and human services funding, $17 million in state government cuts, and $10 million fiom cuts in environment and natural resources programs. Senate members reacted on Friday by cb;m;ng the House offer represented very little movement Ctmtinued 011 page 3 Contents Session slows ............................................................................... 1 Keg registration effective Aug. 1 ................................................... 3 Funds for homeland security improvements.................................. 4 4M Fund update.......................................................................... 4 Serve on the LMC Board ofDirectoIS ......................................... 5 City officials needed to serve on LMC Nominating Conunittee... 5 2002 Directory of Minnesol4 City ()fficials order furm ...................... 6 Transportation funding remains an obstacle fur session adjournment. ...... ........... ........... ..........

The intent of the bill is to provide state and local law enforcement authorities the ability to track the sale of keg beer, thereby providing a mechanism to enforce laws applicable to the illegal provision of alcoholic beverages. The bill provides that licensed off-sale retailers, at the time of sale of keg beer, are responsible tOr affixing a generic identification label or tag to the keg. The label or tag must contain the off...ale retailer's name, address, telephone number, and a unique keg registration number assigned by the retailer. At the time of sale of keg beer sold to consumers by licensed off-sale retailers, retailers shall record: The number of the purchaser's driver's license, Minnesota ID card, militaty ID or valid U.S. or foreign passport; . The date and time of the purchase; The purchaser's signature; and, . The unique keg number assigned to the keg by the retailer as required by this new law. The retailer is required to keep these keg registration records at the retail licensed premises for a minimum of 90 days. Additionally, licensed off- sale retailers must make these records available for inspection by a licensed peace officer, the conunissioner or an agent of the commissioner. The new law also provides that the identification label or tag aBixed to each keg of beer sold at retail shall consist of material tnade from paper, plastic, metal, or other durable material that is not easily damaged or destroyed. The label or tag must be attached to the keg of beer by nylon ties or cording, wire ties, other metal devices or another durable means of tying or attaching. Labels may also be attached with some type of non-permanent adhesive. The label or tag must also include a warning that removal or defacement of the label or tag is a criminal offense. Licensed off-sale retailers selling keg beer with the required label or tag are responsible for removing completely and thoroughly the label or tag when the keg is returned to the retailer by the consumer. After removal, the identification tag or label must then be kept on file on the retail licensed prentises ror the 90-day period. Questions have been raised regarding whether wholesaler suppli- ers may provide the keg registration materials to the retailer. Our initial response to that question is no, because the labels, t"ll', and record keeping materials are being interpreted as items of value and may very well violate cooperative advertising laws prohib- ited under M. S. Chapter 340A.308. These questions are being studied by our legal advisors as of this date, and further advisories may be tOrthcoming. Retailers should keep in mind that retailers are responsible for the keg registration labels, tags, and recordkeeping requirements of the new law. Retailers shall not sell keg beer on or after Aug. 1,2002, that does not bear the mandatory keg registration label or tag. Consumer purchase records and keg registration label or tag information must be maintained on the licensed premises for a minium of 90 days. For 1lIOI1I Information A copy of the full text of the keg registration law may be obtained by accessing the Dept. of Public Safety's web site (www.dp..state.mn.u.) or by calling (651) 215-6209. Should you have further technical questions regarding keg registration, call (651) 296-6430." Continued from page 1 toward a compromise. Senate mem- bers also expressed concern that the House offer would leave the state with very little budget reserve and a large hole in the 2004-05 budget. Rep. Krinkie (R-Shoreview) re- sponded by suggesting the House could increase the permanent spend- ing cuts in its plan other than relying on the Senate's proposed increases in taxes. On a positive note, neither the House nor the Senate offers currently contain any cuts in local goverrunent aid (LGA) nor in the market home- stead credit reimbursement. However, most of the Senate tax provisions appear to have been dropped by both the House and Senate. These dropped provisions appear to include the new LGA increase for small cities, the appropriation of$10 million forTIF grants, the local sales tax authority for half a dozen individual cities, and modifications to levy limits that would have provided a marginal increase in levy authority in 2003. One provision that appears to still be alive would provide a new "pipe- line aid" to are;" of the state where the 2001 property tax class ote changes for certain public utility property dratnatically reduced the available tax base.

Page 4 LMC Cities BuUetin . -,,' ! l~ don't create fDIIoI.rn...LINItIers create leaders Serve on the LMC Board of Directors From its very beginn;ng the League of Minnesota Cities has flourished by its leadership's constatlt focus on bringing city leaders together as a unified and influential furce.A dedicated Boanl of Directors has been vital to the accomplishment of this goal.As the governing body of the League, the Boanl must keep the interests of cities in mind at all times. Thus, serving on the Boanl is both an honor and a responsibility. Unlike the governing bodies of some private companies, the prerequi- sites fur serving on the League Boanl do not include wealth, prestige or professional status. Rather, leadership skills, knowledge, dedication, vision and professionalism are the types of qnalities that distingnish leaders selected fur the League Boanl. The 18 individu- als serving on the Board blend together to strengthen the League through their diversity and unique experiences. The actions of Board members not only impact cities in the present, but also "shape" the future direction of the League as it strives to make a positive impact on community lifi: and the state as a whole. The roles and responsibilities of those who serve on the Board of Directors go fur beyond the stated duties outlined in the League's Constitution and By-Laws. LMC Boanl members are also role models fur other city leaders. The most valued and SllCCess- ful Boanl members model such characteristics as: . The ability to motivate citizens to participate in their local government; . A caring concern for all cities in the state; . A high level of participation in meetings and other League activities; . A willingness to consider others' perspectives; and City officials needed to serve on LMC Nominating Committee The Nominating Committee plays an important role in selecting the League Boanl of Directors. The conunittee convenes on Wednesday,June 19 at the Annual Conference in Rochester to interview candidates for Board and officer positions. The committee's recommendations are presented to member cities at the LMC business meeting. The Nominating Committee is made up of 8 to 12 city officials, consisting of both elected and appointed officials, with attention to issues such as gender, city size, and geography. City officials interested in serving should contact Donyelle Mikacevich at (651) 281-1202 or (800) 925-1122/toll-JIee.The LMC Boanl of Directors is expected to appoint the Nominating Committee by May 31... . A desire to discuss options fully and come to group consensus. If you are interested in serving on the League's Board of Directors for 2002-2003, you must complete a nomination form and submit a brief resume no later than May 31,2002. In June, there will be eight open positions on the Board of Directors. As there are no incumbents for the officer positions, LMC members will elect a president, I" vice president, 2"" vice president, and five directors. Open officer positions could be filled by current board members, resulting in additional director opening1l. A Nominating Committee appointed by the current LMC Board of Directo" will interview candidates in a meeting open to all city officials. This year's meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 19 at the LMC Annual Conference in Rochester. The recommended candidates will be presented to member cities at the LMC business meeting on June 20. In addition to each nominee's past involvement in League activities, the Committee comide" geographic representation, gender, and city population when selecting nominees.

Paul, MN 55103-2044 Total enclosed $ I L________________________________________~ Transportation funding remains an obstacle for session adjournment Anne Finn MembenofilieT~portation Funding Conference Committee last week listened to hours of public testimony on ilie bills iliey are charged wiili reconciling (HF 3364/ SF 2812). Discussions focused on a range of issues, including roads ... transit, proposed changes to ilie County State Aid Highway (CSAH) funding rormuL., and a gas tax increase. Members voted to accept or ~ect less controversial provisions, but made no progress toward consensus on funding amounts or mechanisms. Roads VI. transit The committee heard from advocates on both sides of ilie roads/=it issue. Transit advocates from greater Minne- sota and ilie metropolitan area argued for a multi-modal package. House Republicans have indicated a clear preference for road funding. They are appear somewhat willing to provide doll= to improve bus services, but have resisted all rail projects. Senate leadenhip maintains transit, including rail, must be part of any =portation solution. Significant time was spent discuss- ing a proposed change to ilie CSAH formuL.. The Senate bill contains a change in ilie current fonnuL. iliat would provide a greater share of ilie funding for ilie metropolitan area. A comparison follows: Current CSAHformula . 10 percent to all counties . 10 percent based on each county's proportional share of vehicle registrations . 30 percent according to each county's proportional share of county state aid lane miles . 50 percent on ilie basis of"needs." "Need" is defined as ilie cost of construction required to reconstruct all CSAH miles to meet full state aid design standards. Senate CSAH proposal . 10 percent to all counties . 10 percent according to each county's proportional share of county state aid lane miles .. 30 percent on the basis of popuL.tion . 50 percent on ilie basis of needs The new CSAH formula would apply only to revenue generated by an increase in ilie gas tax, while ilie distribution would remain ilie same for ilie current 20-cent gas tax. All counties. would receive more money ilian iliey currently receive. The com- mittee took no action on this issue. Gas tax increase Finally, an overwhelming number of testifiers expressed support for a gas tax increase. House Republicans have taken a strong position against iliis provision saying Minnesotans do not want to pay higher taxes and that ilie use of gas tax funds for transit unfairly places ilie funding burden on the single occupancy vehicle drivers who will expect better roads. Even though ilie conference committee is holding meetin8", discussions on ilie transportation funding package appear to be stalled. Memhen need direction from leadership before proceeding on ilie big decision items. Conferees are: Rep. William Kuisle (R-Rochester), Rep. Mary Liz Holberg (R-Lakeville), Rep. AI Juhnke (DFL- Willmar), Rep. Tony Kielkucki (R-Lester Prairie), Rep. Tom Workman (R-Chanhassen), Sen. Dean Johnson (DFL- Willmar), Sen. Dave Johnson (DFL-Bloomington), Sen. Mark Ourada (R-Buffalo), Sen. Julie Sabo (DFL-Mpls.), and Sen. Roy Terwilliger (R-Edina). k Bonding conference committee inches toward progress Jennifer O'Rourke Last week, ilie Senate and House conferees ror the Capitol Investment Conference Committee agreed on a spending totaling approximately $740 million. Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe (DFL-fume) and Senate Minority Leader Dick Day (R -Owatonna) signed off on the spending target, but House Speaker Steve Sviggum (R-Kenyon) did not approve ilie bonding target as much remains to be negotiated wiili the ending of ilie 2002 session. The Senate conferees have made two offers to ilie House side willi cuts to a variety of ilie projects in the bond- ing bill; ilie House has not proposed a counteroffer. The committee does not expect to meet publicly anytime soon. Bonding bill politics will most likely be played out until everyiliing at the Legislature has been negutiated. If you have questions on a specific bonding project, please contact Jennifer O'Rourke, LMC, at (651) 281-1261 orjorourke@lrnnc.org'k DON'T FORGET - You can register for any of the League's events at our web site: www. lm n c. org April 17,2002 Page 7 DYED development mortgage credit certification aid program for cities Irene Dossier, DTED Pursuant to MN Statutes ~462.15, the Dept. ofTrade and Economic Devel- opment (DTED) will issue mortgage credit certificate (MCC) aid to cities that had mortgage credit certificates outstanding during the previous calendar year. Cities that have issued MCCs can apply to DTED by May 15 of each year to receive aid on the MCCs they issue. The aid given by the state must be transferred to the housing authority to be used to provide home ownership programs to families or individuals whose incomes are at or below 80 percent of the area median income. What are MCCs7 MCCs are an alternative to mortgage revenue bouds and assist first-time homebuyers. Like mortgage revenue bonds, MCCs may not be issued without an allocation of bonding authority. How does a city apply for MCC aid? If you have issued mortgage credit certificates, you may obtain and complete an application from DTED. The legislation establishing the program sets forth a formula to determine the amount of aid that will be given to each city applying fur aid. Ap"lCatIon details Applications must be received by DTED by 4 p.m., on May 15. For an application or further information, contact Irene Dassier, DTED, at (651) 296-5005. By July 15 of each year, DRED shall pay MCC aid to each city issuing certificates during the previous year and submitting its application on time. k Consultant contract moratorium revised Anne Finn The Transportation Policy Conference Committee completed its work last week, giving the nod to several non-controversial "housekeeping" provisions. The committee approved language e""mpting contracts paid fur with trunk highway, county state aid highway (CSAH), or municipal state aid (MSA) funds from the moratorium on consultant services passed earlier this session. The services musr be used fur inter-regional cortidors, bottleneck removal, and Advantages to Transit projects. Projects using general fund money, including the one-time appropriation given to the Trunk Highway Fund in 2000, remain in the consultant moratorium. The conference committee report should be heard on the House and Senate floors this week. I" Phase II rulemaking comment period ends Remi Stone Runoff and other "nonpoint" sources contribute to 86 percent of the pollutants in Minnesota's waters. Part of the state and federal regulatory solution is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Phase II stormwater permitting regula- tory permit program. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) closed the comment period on the draft rule on April 11. The League joined with several cities and city engineers in making comments on the proposed rule. Nearly 150 cities, counties, and townships (called MS4) will be required to obtain a NPDES Phase II Stormwater permit by Man:h 2003. In Phase II, the MPCA will issue permits to MS4s in wban areas and to parties affecting small construction sites (one to five acres). These permits require plans and practices that control polluted storm water runoff. The municipal MS4 plans must address six criteria. They are: 1. Construction site runoff control 2. Post-constructi.on stormwater management 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination 4. Public outreach and education 5. Public involvement and participation 6. Pollution prevention and good housekeeping (sufficient street sweeping, for example) Educational sessions As of this date, two educational opportunities are available fur affected cities. On Tuesday, April 30 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Bonestroo consulting firm will offer a Phase II workshop at the Four Points Hotel in Minneapolis. Also, the LMC Annual Conrerence features a session on the new stormwater program. The conference session will be held in Rochester at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday,June 19.

For many Minnesota cities, summer is the season of community celebrations and fustivals. The Leogue of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) w.mts to remind cities of the risks associated with these celebrations and how cities can make sure those risks are met with the appropriate coverage. The memos and informational materials listed in this article can be fuund on the web site (www.lmcit. Imnc.org) under LMCIT library or by calling the fax library at (651) 215- 4039. F:.~ortm If your city is planning on sponsoring a Fourth of July fireworks display, you need to contact an LMCIT underwriter to get your liability coverage endorsed. LMCIT can only provide liability coverage fur your fireworks if you apply. Cities shonld think about hiring a contractor to do fireworks and should require proof of insurance that names the city as additional insured. State certification is necessary whether the city or a contractor does the fireworks display. LMCIT underwriters can help to make sure your planned fireworks displays meet state requirements. The following memos explain this coverage in detail: . Uahility Coverage for Fireworks Displays (fax doc. 66170) . ApplicaJion for Fireworks Covemge (fax doc. 66180) Liquor r..bil~ Many cities allow beer and alcohol to be sold and served in city-sponsored events and celebrations, and sometimes these celebrations are held at city- owned parks and facilities. Also. some cities rent city-owned property for private events such as weddings and graduation parties. Cities should consider liquor liability coverage if selling beer or allowing others to seD beer in the city -even for a day. The risks associated with selling and serving alcohol are large and complex. Cities should be concerned with having a combination of appro- priate policy, training server. and adequate insurance coverage with additional limits to cover this risk exposure. A number of memos explain LMCIT's coverage and the risks associated with serving alcohol; . IMCIT Liquor LiabiUty Coverage (fax doc. 66240) . Akohol in the City - Liability and Insurance Issues (fax doc. 66870) . Loss Control Recommendations when A1a>hol is Served (fax doc. 669(0) . Legal Survey for Fire Departments (fax doc. 66570) . Community Centers - Liability and Loss Control Issues (fax doc. 66880) . Sped<11 Events Loss Control Advisory (fax doc. 66750) Staffing events with volunteers A city may use volunteers supervised by a city employee to staff an event or celebration. In addition, a group or association may organize a conununity event, staff it with volunteers and hold the event at a city-owned facility. The difference between these two situations is critical in determining who is or isn't a "city" volunteer. City volunteers work on behalf of the city, perform duties under the city's supervision, and are covered under the city's LMCIT general liability and work comp policies. It is important to make this distinction because the city must decide whether the volunteer group or association should provide coverage for the types of risks associated with the event they are sponsoring. The following memos provide infurmation on coverage and liability issues related to vulunteers: . Liability Covemge for Sped<11 Events (fax doc. 66190) . Covering the City~ Voluntem (fax doc. 66030) . Acddent Covemge for City Voluntem (fax doc. 66050) Emergency preparedness It isn't hard to imagine a number of catastrophic situations that can atise in an event where a large number of people participate. City emergency preparation is essential to be able to respond to this risk. Does your city have an emergency response plan? Does your city have mutual aid agreements and are they updated? Have you thought how you'd com- municate with residents, employees, media, and the public in general if a crisis occurs? LMCIT has a number of resources to help you think through the emergency preparation process: . Providing Assistance in Emergendes - Coverage and Liability Issues (fax doc. 66840) . Model MutualAidAgreement (fax doc. 66990) . Mutual Aid - Planning Ahead (fax doc. 66980) . BasU: Crisis Communimtions Guide (available in June at the 2002 LMC Annnal Conference) Page 10 l.MC CItfes Bulletin Other resources Another good resource for your city emergency planning is the Minnesota Division of Emergency Management web site (www.dps.state.mn.us/ emermgtl). This web site contains a number of publications and reports to help you with emergency plans. It also contains disaster infurmation, a daily threat briefing, and FEMA infurma- tion and forms. If you would like to talk with someone about what type ofloss control measures to take in preparation for your city's events and celebrations, please contact your !MelT loss control consultant or Ellen Longfellow, LMCIT loss control attorney, at (651) 281-1269 or elongfel@lmnc.org. I' ~,~,~ NLC Update Register today for Your City's Families Conference May 1-4,2002 in Minneapolis is the place to be fur one ofNLC's most success- ful and exciting events. Sponsored by the NLC Institute for Youth, Education and Families, the ''Your City's Families Conference" helps leaders learn new strategies and develop action plans to implement them. The YEF Institute strongly encourages communities to send teams of at least fuur city officials and other local leaders in order to get the most out of the conference, which operates on a dual track. Participants learn new information and ideas through plenary sessions, panel discussions, and workshops. At the same time, teams have the opportunity to pursue an individualized process of planning and agenda-setting with the assistance of a facilitator. By working together during the conference, many teams are able to translate the experience into collaborative action when they return home. Individuals who attend the conference on their own are given advice about team-building strategies that may help them forge broader partnerships with key stakeholders in their communities. In both instances the fOcus is on practical help for municipal leaders that can yield lasting progress for children and families. Registration details To download the conference brochure, visit the Institute fur Youth, Families, and Education area of the NLC web site at: www.wc.org.

In order to analyze the issue it is necessary to make some assumptions. The primary assumption is that the building would be approximately-15,000 square feet and would be on a site approximately an acre and one-half in size. Between the building costs, fumishing costs and the site deveiopment cost, parking lots, landscaping, etc., we would envision that there would be a total cost of approximately $3,000,000 for site development. . In the current interest rate environment, it is anticiPated that the yearly.debt service would be about $300,000 per year. Thatamourit presumes that a city would use their housing and redevelopment authority to issue lease revenue bonds ~uch as we used to construct our public works facility and our fire station. From the brief research that we did it appears that it would be unworkable for all three cities to jointly bond for the building. The Centennial Police Commission, as'a joint powers organization, does not have the authority to issue bonds. So, it would appear that a city would have to issue the bonds, probably the city that the building was constructed in. The city would need to show that it has a sub- lease arrangement that would bind the police department and its member cities to make lease payments to offset bond payments, for the bonds to be saleable. . Prtnfed on Reeyeied Poper , .,. ..~ The potential construction of a Centennial Lakes Police facility and its financing raises a number of issues that are not currently addressed in the joint powers agreement. Those would include the following: 1. How would the bonding city be assured that it would have the Centennial Lakes Police Department as a tenant during the life of the bonds? Does this imply a 20 year commitment by each of the three cities to the joint powers agreement? 2. The formula as it currently exists could be the payment method for the cities for these new capital costs simply increasing the lease or rent payment of the department as the current agreement provides. During the negotiations of the agreement there was an assumption that there would be separate negotiations related to capital projects. What is the split for building cost? 3. The current franchise agreement provides for an exit by anyone community with a year's notice and paying one year's budget cpntribution, plus sick leave and vacation, as the exit fee. That would not likely be appropriate as it could shift the remaining burden of the building cost to the two remaining cities. 4. The existing agreement provides that any two cities can dissolve the joint powers agreement by mutual agreement, at which point the facility would be sold. What would happen if the value of the property when sold is less than the outstanding balance of the bonds. Do the other communities have an obligation based on the lease to pay the bonding city? Just in general, the exit of one city, or the dissolution of the district raises a number of very significant issues once a building of this value is constructed. 5. The lease requires the approval of all three cities. ' Each city council would have the opportunity to determine how that decision might be made. If some cities ,choose to have elections due to the significant amount of dollars being added to the tax roll, how would those elections be coordinated? However, there is not a requirerrient for an election to be held on this issue. 6. What would happen to the existing city leases for property, or would sub-stations be continued in each of the cities without a main station? 7. The cities will be paying additional dollars due to the phase out of grant payments on existing officers. As well, there would be additional operating costs if a building were to be constructed. These costs to cities would b,e occurring at the same time that there would be added payments related to the lease. With two cities operating under levy limits, what are the potential implications for those cities being able to fund their share of any funding formula that is developed? 8. The long-term building maintenance, whether it is exterior reroofing or interior painting, etc., would be a cost that either the department would need to budget, or ~ it is the city which owns the building responsibility, it would need to recover those costs as part of the lease payments. . Page 2 9. I believe this is similar to one of the points above, but the design of this building is such that the large amount of garage space and specialized prisoner areas would not lend itself to reuse for another purpose very easily. So, it is likely that if at some point the building were to be sold or had to be reused by a city, it would have substantially less value than its construction value. What protection would the bonding city have? I have just briefly reviewed the items that came to mind. I have not done an extensive review of the existing joint powers agreement so there certainly could be other issues that would need to be added to the list, but as you requested, , am forwarding this to you in an attempt to give the discussion a starting point. I look forward to your questions. JWKfmh . Page 3 , Page 1 ofl7 This document is also available in PDF format Plymouth City Code 1201.01 CHAPTER XU Sale.
