Members Present: Mayor Anne Theis, Councilmembers John Ferris, James Johnson, Ann Thies and Philip Zietlow. Members Absent: None. Also Present: Public Works Director Jim Dillman, Police Chief Rick Rabenort, City Engineer Shawn Gustafson, Zoning Administrator Loren Kohnen, City Attorney Ron Batty and Clerk -Treasurer Jeff Karlson. 1. ADOPTION OF AGENDA Moved by Thies, seconded by Mayor Theis, to adopt the agenda with the following additions: A. City's Annual Roadside Cleanup B. Workshops and Training Sessions Motion passed unanimously. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Ferris, to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of March 2, 1994, as printed. Motion passed unanimously. 3. ANNUAL CITY WIDE ROADSIDE CLEANUP Ann Thies asked about the city's annual roadside cleanup scheduled for Saturday, April 30, 1994. Public Works Director Jim Dillman said notices would be sent out to all the residents asking for volunteers. Phil Zietlow said the Boy Scouts might be able to help with the cleanup. 4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED USE OF THE 1994 CDBG FUNDS Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. to hear comments on the proposed use of the 1994 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program planning allocation of $14,002 by the City. Jim Dillman said the City planned to use the funds for an inflow and infiltration study for the Hamel sewer system. Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Thies, to close the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to adopt Resolution No. 94- 12, "Resolution Approving Projected Use of Funds for 1994 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program." Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: 41 None. Resolution No. 94-12 adopted on a 5-aye and 0-nay vote. 5. MEDINA ROAD IMPROVEMENTS City Attorney Ron Batty said the City received four assessment appeals for Part 3 of the Medina Road Improvement Project from Tamarack Drive to County Road 24. Batty said the next step would be an improvement hearing at which time the council could decide whether or not to do the project. The Council agreed to hold the public hearing on Tuesday, April 5, 1994 and to include two alternate proposals which included closing Mohawk Drive past city hall and improving Morgan Road by relocating the road to where it would intersect with Medina Road at the top of the hill. Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to adopt Resolution No. 94-13, "Resolution Calling Public Hearing on Medina Road Improvements of 1994." Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None. Resolution No. 94-13 adopted on a 5-aye and 0-nay vote. 6. LAND ACQUISITION FOR HAMEL LEGION MEMORIAL PARK Ron Batty said the Hyberg's had rejected the City's offer to purchase their property because of the contingency that the property have legal access to a public road. Batty said Hyberg was willing to sell if the buyer accepted total responsibility for the existing structures and cleanup of the property. Batty added that the City had to decide whether the site needed access to the north. Mayor Theis said the appraised value of $126,000 was not realistic if there was no access to a public road. Theis asked if the appraised value included a road access. Batty said the City's appraiser, Brad Bjorkland, had assumed that the Hyberg property had access to a road. Batty said he didn't know how much the property would be devalued by not having a road access. He estimated that it would cost the City about $2,000- 2,500 to determine the value of the property without the access. Batty said the City should also obtain a title commitment. Mayor Theis asked what the expenses would be to the City if the Council condemned the property. Batty estimated that condemnation could cost up to $5,000. Ann Thies said the City should have the title work done on the Hyberg property. Batty said Sam Finazzo indicated that he was ready to sell his property. He said the City's response was to offer $188,000 contingent upon the City being able to acquire the Hyberg property. Jim Johnson said he wanted to see more movement on the purchase of the Finazzo property. 42 John Ferris said it was appropriate to acknowledge that the City was interested in the Finazzo property, but to refrain from making any commitment. Moved by Johnson, seconded by Ferris, to authorize Ron Batty to proceed with the title work on the Hyberg property and to approach Sam Finazzo on what the terms of the sale would be for his property, including the price of the land. Motion passed unanimously. 7. $1,000,000 G.O. IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 1994 Jeanne Vanda of Public Financial Management projected that the City would need a $1,000,000 bond issue to finance the County Road 116 Sewer and Water Improvement and the assessed cost of the Medina Road Improvements. Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Ferris, to adopt Resolution No. 94- 14, "Resolution Providing for the Issuance and Sale of $1,000,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 1994." Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None. Resolution No. 94-14 adopted on a 5-aye and 0-nay vote. 8. MEDINA/INDEPENDENCE/GREENFIELD TRI-CITY AGREEMENT City Attorney Ron Batty said that in the latest revision of the Tri-City Agreement, Medina retained the right to terminate the agreement if the combined flows exceeded the capacity of Medina's system. Batty said the provision contained in the 1985 Tri-City Agreement that Medina would reimburse Independence $35,000 was still intact. Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to approve the "Medina/ Independence/Greenfield Sanitary Sewer Construction, Maintenance and Service Agreement" subject to verification by the city attorney that the changes were made; and to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the agreement. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PUBLIC WORKS POSITION Public Works Director Jim Dillman said he and Councilmember Thies interviewed eight applicants for the public works position. Dillman said a point system was established for both the written application and the oral interview. Dillman said based on the scoring system, Steve Scherer, 2622 Willow Drive, was the most qualified applicant. He recommended that Scherer be hired starting at $12.66 an hour contingent upon him passing a physical. Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to approve the hiring of Steve Scherer for the position of Water/Wastewater Operator for a six month probationary period at the rate of $12.66 an hour subject to the passing of a physical. Motion passed unanimously. 10. ORONO SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM In a letter to the Council, Orono Community Education stated that changes needed to be made on how they operated the Summer Recreation Program. Participating communities were subsidizing 43 half of the cost of the program and community education subsidized the other half. The letter said that community education had not increased their levy for eight years and were subsidizing the Summer Recreation Program with fees generated by other programs. Orono Community Education were asking cities to consider one of two options: [1] Cities subsidize the total cost of the program. Approximately twice the amount of last year's contribution. [2] Cities continue to subsidize one-half of the cost of the program and community education charge a participant fee [$10-15] to cover the remaining cost of the program. Jim Johnson said the dollar amount was very minimal from the city's standpoint and would be money well spent. Moved by Johnson, seconded by Mayor Theis, to recommend to Orono Community Education that cities subsidize the total cost of the program. Motion passed unanimously. 11. PAYMENT OF BILLS Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Ferris, to approve payment of Order Check Numbers 13008-13057 for $692,918.23 and Payroll Check Numbers 13803-13815 for $17,256.21. Motion passed unanimously. 12. EXECUTIVE SESSION City Attorney Ron Batty announced at 8:50 p.m. that the Council would be going into executive session on the basis of attorney - client privilege to discuss litigation. Moved by Thies, seconded by Mayor Theis, to close the executive session at 9:20 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 13. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to adjourn the meeting at 9:20 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Anne E. Theis, Mayor ATTEST: Jearlson, lerk-Treasurer March 15, 1994
