Motion carried unanimously.
8. TIF AGREEMENT WITH THORPE DISTRIBUTING
City Attorney Ron Batty said the council could authorize the mayor
and clerk -treasurer to execute the Development Agreement with
Thorpe Distributing. Batty said Thorpe agreed to construct an
industrial facility containing 50,000 square feet of warehouse and
5,000 square feet of office space which had to be completed by
December 31, 1994. Batty said Thorpe also agreed to pay real
estate taxes and special assessments levied against the property.
In return, the city would construct an extension of Clydesdale
Trail and bring sewer and water to the property. The city would
assess the property for these projects but agreed to use increment
5
generated by the development to pay the assessments. Batty added
that the project was strictly on a pay-as-you-go basis and was
virtually risk -free to the city.
Batty said the Repayment Agreement and the Petition and Waiver
Agreement should not be signed until a later date.
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to approve the Development
Agreement between the City and Thorpe Distributing.
Motion carried unanimously.
9. MEDINA ROAD IMPROVEMENT
Jeff Karlson said the assessment hearing for Part III of the Medina
Road Improvement Project needed to be changed from January 18, 1994
to February 1, 1994 so a legal notice of the assessment hearing
could be published in the city's official newspaper two weeks prior
to the hearing.
Phil Zietlow said the resolution calling for the public hearing on
the assessment for the improvement of Medina Road should be amended
to include only Part III of the project between Tamarack Drive and
County Road 24.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Thies, to adopt Resolution No. 94-01,
"Resolution Calling for Preparation of an Updated Feasibility
Report and for a Public Hearing on the Assessment for the
Improvement of Medina Road and Preparation of Proposed Assessment,"
with the inclusion of two amendments from same resolution adopted
on November 16, 1993: (1) the exclusion of Part I between Brockton
Lane and Holy Name Drive; and (2) the hearing shall be held on
February 1, 1994.
Ayes: Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.
Resolution No. 94-01 adopted on a 4-aye and 0-nay vote.
10. ORDINANCE REGULATING OPEN BURNING
Rick Rabenort said it was necessary for the city to replace its
ordinance on open burning to comply with the definitions
established by the Department of Natural Resources. Rabenort said
the DNR relaxed the restrictions on open burning. He said the
ordinance needed some procedural and substantive changes before it
could be considered for adoption. Rabenort recommended that he and
City Attorney refine the ordinance and bring it back to the next
meeting.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Zietlow, to table discussion on the
ordinance regulating open burning until the next meeting on January
18, 1994.
Motion carried unanimously.
11. WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE
Ron Batty said that in order to exclude the city council and
planning commission from the city's workers compensation plan, it
was necessary for the council to adopt a resolution revoking a
previous resolution which extended coverage to elected and
6
appointed officials. Batty said the League of Minnesota Cities
provided an accident policy for members of city councils or
commissions as a lower -cost alternative.
Phil Zietlow said he did not feel that a council member should be
covered under workers compensation because it was a volunteer
position.
Ann Thies said she was opposed to workers compensation coverage or
accident coverage for elected or appointed officials.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to adopt Resolution No. 94-03,
"Resolution Revoking Worker's Compensation Coverage for Elected and
Appointed City Officials."
Ayes: Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.
Resolution No. 94-03 adopted on a 4-aye and 0-nay vote.
12. MAILING OF MINUTES
Phil Zietlow said he had received a number of phone calls from
Medina residents who wished to receive the council minutes on a
more timely basis. Zietlow pointed out that many residents relied
on the minutes for city news rather than the Crow River News.
Zietlow said staff could send out the unapproved minutes with
"DRAFT" stamped on the front.
Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Zietlow, to approve the mailing
of the unapproved council minutes with "DRAFT" stamped on the
front.
Motion carried unanimously.
13. NORTHWEST HENNEPIN LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES GRANT APPLICATION
The Northwest Hennepin League of Municipalities, which include the
cities of Corcoran, Dayton, Greenfield, Hanover, Hassan,
Independence, Loretto, Maple Grove, Maple Plain, Medina,
Minnetrista and Rogers, requested that Medina adopt a resolution
supporting the League's efforts in applying for service sharing
grants to assist in the funding of park trail plans and to initiate
a cooperative endeavor to combine services. The applications would
be sent to the Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and
Cooperation. In a letter to the council, the League stated that
cities would not incur any financial responsibility by passing a
resolution approving the proposal.
Ann Thies said she would support the submission of the grant
applications provided that the program was not a matching grant.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Thies, to adopt Resolution No. 94-02,
"Resolution Approving the Submission of Grant Applications to the
State of Minnesota Board of Government Innovation and Cooperation,"
subject to confirmation from the League that the program is not a
matching grant.
Ayes: Johnson, Thies and Mayor Theis. Nays: Zietlow
Resolution No. 94-02 adopted on a 3-aye and 1-nay vote.

14. PARK COMMISSIONER APPOINTMENT
Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Zietlow, to reappoint Nyles Gentz
to the Park Commission for a term of three years, ending December
31, 1996.
Motion carried unanimously.
15. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW PLANNING COMMISSIONERS
Mayor Anne Theis said there was a question in regard to the
residency requirements for new planning commissioners. Theis said
recent appointee Bob Bradley may not have been qualified to serve
on the commission based on the residency requirement stated in the
Medina City Code.
Ron Batty said he reviewed the City's ordinance and the bylaws of
the Planning Commission and discovered a discrepancy in the
residency requirements stated in each. Batty said the bylaws
simply stated that a member of the Planning Commission had to be a
resident of the city for "at least three years" and the ordinance
stated that a member had to be a resident of the city for the "last
three years." Batty said the bylaws of the Planning Commission
were vague enough that Bob Bradley's appointment was acceptable.
He recommended that the Planning Commission clarify their bylaws
to be consistent with the ordinance.
16. CLYDESDALE TRAIL SEWER AND WATER EXTENSION
Moved by Thies, seconded by Mayor Theis, to approve a "Request for
Payment" in the amount of $21,963.25 to Northdale Construction for
contruction work completed at Clydesdale Trail; i.e. the extension
of sanitary sewer and water.
Motion carried unanimously.
17. PAYMENT OF BILLS
Moved by Thies, seconded by Mayor Theis, to approve payment of
Order Check Numbers 12741-12786 for $108,798.42 and Payroll Check
Numbers 13707-13728 for $16,961.65.
Motion carried unanimously.
18. ADJOURNMENT
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to adjourn the meeting at 9:26
p.m.
Motion carried unanimously.
