Members Present: John Ferris, James Johnson, Ann Thies, Philip Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Members Absent: None. Also Present: Acting Police Chief Mike Roulliard, Public Works Director Jim Dillman, City Engineer Shawn Gustafson, Zoning Administrator Loren Kohnen, City Attorney Ron Batty and Clerk -Treasurer Jeff Karlson. 1. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to adopt the agenda with the following addition: a. Meeting with Orono School District/Community Education Motion passed unanimously. 2. CONSENT AGENDA Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to approve the consent agenda, as follows: a. Resolution No. 95-10, "Resolution Granting Conditional Use Permit Regarding Accessory Structures to Nick Oeffling" b. Resolution No. 95-11, "Resolution Granting Conditional Use Permit to James F. O'Brien for Construction of Industrial Building" Motion passed unanimously. 3. MINUTES Moved by Thies, seconded by Ferris, to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of March 7, 1995, as presented. Motion passed unanimously. 4. ORDINANCE NO. 284 Moved by Thies, seconded by Mayor Theis, to table the adoption of Ordinance No. 284, related to Michael Seeland's request for the rezoning of certain land from rural residential to agricultural preservation. Motion passed unanimously. 5. CONTINUATION OF ASSESSMENT HEARING FOR MEDINA ROAD IMPROVEMENT FROM BROCKTON LANE TO HOLY NAME DR. Shawn Gustafson explained the method in which property owners were assessed for the Holy Name Drive Road Improvement Project of 1987. Gustafson said there was a unit assessment of $1,060 levied against each property owner; and, in addition, there was a front footage rate of $3.90. Gustafson said Rex Gregor, 2592 Holy Name Drive, received a one half unit assessment on his 10.5 acre lot--P.I.D No. 13-118-23-41-0002--equaling $530, and was also assessed for 350 feet of front footage. 41 Loren Kohnen said the county soils map showed that Rochie Begin's 7.8 acre property was a buildable lot which could accommodate one building site and two septic system sites. Begin pointed out that he had tried to sell the property to a church, but the lot had been considered unbuildable. Phil Zietlow said the property may not have accommodated a church, but should be adequate for a residential home. Leroy Undis, 222 Medina Road, asked if Begin's lot had five acres of contiguous soils. Kohnen said this requirement did not apply to existing lots, only new subdivisions. Undis said he did not have the financial resources to fight his own assessments, and he asked that one of his two assessments be deferred until the lot was sold, developed or Brockton Lane was paved. Jim Dilllman said Plymouth indicated that it had no interest in paving Brockton Lane and it would be Medina's responsibility to improve the road. Zietlow said if the land was in Green Acres, the assessments would automatically be deferred, but interest would accrue at the rate of eight percent. Ron Batty mentioned that the City Council, at its discretion, could defer the payments of assessments for persons 65 years of age or older if it would be a hardship. Batty also explained the appeal process. Begin said he did not like the assessment process in which property owners were made to pay for city roads. Zietlow pointed out that the city was paying for $87,000 of the improvement project. Rochie Begin, 2595 Holy Name Drive, submitted a written objection for his assessment. Moved by Ferris, seconded by Johnson, to close the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Moved by Ferris, seconded by Johnson, to approve an amendment to the assessment roll which will include a one half unit assessment for Parcel No. 13-118-23-41-0005, in the amount of $2,307.50 for Leroy Undis, 222 Medina Road, with the understanding that Undis will be assessed for another one half unit assessment for the improvement of Brockton Lane. 42 Moved by Johnson, seconded by Mayor Theis, to adopt Resolution No. 95-12, "Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for Improvement of Medina Road." Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None. Resolution No. 95-12 adopted on a 5-aye and 0-nay vote. The parcels follows: P.I.N. included in the assessment roll are described 13-118-23-41-0001 13-118-23-41-0004 13-118-23-41-0005 13-118-23-41-0002 Name Rochie Begin Leroy Undis Leroy Undis Rex Gregor Address 2595 Holy Name Dr 222 Medina Road 222 Medina Road 2592 Holy Name Dr as Total Assessment $4615.00 $4615.00 $2307.50 $2307.50 6. REPORT FROM WHRC RECYCLING COORDINATOR Recycling Coordinator Amelia Kroeger provided a six year report of the programs and activities which were administered by the West Hennepin Recycling Commission. Kroeger said the cornerstone of the recycling program was curbside recycling. From 1991 to 1994, Medina had a curbside abatement of 25% and a participation rate of nearly 60%. Kroeger said one of the goals of the WHRC was to have a total abatement of 30% in each city by the year 2000, and a participation rate of 70%. Phil Zietlow asked when residents would be able to recycle plastic motor oil containers. Kroeger said the reason the plastic oil containers were no longer recyclable was because not everyone drained all the oil before disposing of the containers. Kroeger thanked the council and city staff for their support. 7. NWL OF CITIES PROPOSED INTEGRATED PARK TRAIL PLAN Park Commissioner Jim Roehl gave an overview of the proposed integrated park trail plan which was prepared by the Northwest Hennepin League of Municipalities. Roehl said the proposed trail plan would link the regional and local trail systems. Roehl said the task force, made up of himself, Councilmember Jim Johnson, Park Commissioner John Winston and Bob Etem, would continue to attend the Northwest League meetings and report back to the council. 8. LUNDGREN BROS. - REQUEST FOR EXTENSION TO FILE PLAT Lundgren Brothers, Inc. requested an extension of 90 days for filing the plats for Foxberry Farms and Foxberry Farms 2nd Addition to allow Lundgren more time to finalize several details. Loren Kohnen recommended that an extension of 90 days be granted. 43 Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to approve an extension of 90 days to Lundgren Bros., Inc. for filing the plats for Foxberry Farms and Foxberry Farms 2nd Addition. Motion passed unanimously. 9. FRED KELLER PROPERTY Fred Keller said any hope he had of getting sewer to his property south of Medina Morningside was nil. Keller said he needed to move forward with his plan for a cemetery. Jim Johnson suggested that the council authorize David Licht of Northwest Associated Consultants to come up with a list of conditions that would be needed for the cemetery. Loren Kohnen said the matter should be redirected back to the Planning Commission for further discussion with Fred Keller. Keller pointed out that the original conditions laid out by the Planning Commission were unreasonable. Mayor Theis said David Licht should make his recommendations and bring them back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Moved by Johnson, seconded by Mayor Theis, to direct Loren Kohnen to contact David Licht and ask him to develop criteria for Fred Keller's proposed cemetery. Motion passed unanimously. 10. STEVE SCHERER - PAY INCREASE Jim Dillman asked the council to approve a $.60 per hour pay increase for Steve Scherer. Phil Zietlow asked where this would put Scherer on the wage schedule which was approved in November. Dillman said the $ . 60 increase would put Scherer between Step 6 and 7 according to the wage schedule. Dillman said the increase was based on merit and not according to the steps. John Ferris said the council needed to stick with the wage schedule that was adopted in November. Jeff Karlson pointed out that the council had approved that Steve Scherer move to Step 6 at his one year anniversary date, which would put him at $13.86 an hour. Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Ferris, to approve a pay increase to Step 6 for Steve Scherer, from $13.45 per hour to $13.86. Ayes: Ferris, Johnson, Thies and Zietlow. Nays: Mayor Theis. Motion passed on a 4-1 vote. 11. CLEANUP DAY NEWSLETTER Jim Dillman suggested that the city do a special mailing for the cleanup day rather than announce it in the spring issue of the newsletter. Dillman said the city seems to get a much better response for cleanup day when a special mailing is sent out. He 44 added that this also eliminated the need for a spring newsletter. 12. GARBAGE HAULER LICENSE RENEWALS Jim Dillman said the garbage hauler licenses for residential garbage collection in Medina expired April 1, 1995. Dillman said he met with the three haulers--Woodlake Sanitary Service, LaPlant Sanitation, and Randy's Sanitation --and each indicated that they wished to renew their licenses. Dillman said the haulers wanted the license to extend three years or until April 1, 1998. The first year increase would be three percent and each yearly increase thereafter would be based on the C.P.I. index, not to exceed five percent. Dillman said with the haulers agreed to collect garbage from the city parks without charge to the city if the licenses were renewed for three years. Moved by Johnson, seconded by Zietlow, to approve the renewal of the garbage hauler licenses for Woodlake Sanitary Service, Inc., LaPlant Sanitation, and Randy's Sanitation for a period of three years under the terms stated in the contract drawn up by City Attorney Ron Batty. Motion passed unanimously. 13. UPDATE OF TRUNK HIGHWAY 12 PROJECT Ann Thies gave an update of the Trunk Highway 12 Project. Thies said the traffic studies were nearly completed by MnDOT and the report would soon be ready for cities to review. MnDOT was maintaining a "no build" policy. Improvements would made at the interchanges of Highway 12 and County Road 6, Wayzata Boulevard, and Co. Rd. 6 and Independence. Thies said MnDOT was strongly considering County Road 6 and Watertown Road as commuter bypass roads to direct traffic off of Highway 12. Thies said this proposal would impact Medina considerably even though County Road 6 does not go through Medina. 14. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL FORM Phil Zietlow suggested that the council move forward with the performance appraisal form drafted by John Ferris. Ferris said the council could try it out and make adjustments as needed. Ferris suggested that the evaluations be done in the middle of the year to coincide with the budget review. 15. MEETING WITH ORONO SCHOOL DISTRICT/COMMUNITY EDUCATION Mayor Theis said she attended a meeting with the Orono Community Education group. Theis said the group wanted to put together a task force to talk about building expansions in the Orono School District and an upgrade of athletic facilities. The plan was to upgrade all existing school buildings and to add two new schools for K-3 and primary grades 4-5. Theis said the school district was looking at a very ambitious project and hired an architect to draw up the plans. 16. PAYMENT OF BILLS Moved by Johnson, seconded by Mayor Theis, to approve payment of Order Check Numbers 14356-14399 for $76,330.09 and Payroll Check 45 Numbers 14290-14303 for $12,589.31. Motion passed unanimously. 17. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Johnson, seconded by Thies, to adjourn the meeting at 9:40 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Anne E.
