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.

95-12, "Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for Improvement of

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.
