1. PUBLIC HEARING ON TIF DISTRICT NO. 1-8
Mayor Theis stated this was the continuation of a public hearing
to hear comments on the adoption of a Tax Increment Financing
Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-8.
City Attorney Batty recommended that the Council adopt a
resolution approving the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
District No. 1-8.
Bob Walter, attorney for Thorpe Distributing, asked if three
small parcels in the Alpana Addition would be included in the
district as originally proposed.
Batty said the parcels could be taken out at Thorpe's request.
Batty added that if the three parcels were included in the new
TIF district, the parcels could always be taken out later.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to close the public hearing
at 8:12 p.m.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to adopt Resolution No. 93-
23, "Resolution Approving Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax
Increment Financing District No. 1-8."

3. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TRUNK WATER MAIN
Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. for the
purpose of hearing comments on the construction of a trunk water
main along County Road No. 116.
Project Engineer Shawn Gustafson of Bonestroo & Associates said
the proposed improvements included the construction of a 12-inch
diameter water main to provide service to the proposed Lundgren
residential subdivision and the undeveloped commercial/industrial
property to the south. The project costs were estimated at
$203,250. The proposed assessments included a trunk fee of
$1,250 per net developable acre for residential property and
$1,500 per net developable acre for commerical/industrial
property. Bonestroo recommended an additional lateral assessment
of $20 per foot of frontage along County Road No. 116.
City Engineer Glenn Cook said property owners along County Road
116 would not be required to hook up to the water line. Cook
said there would be deferred assessments for the lateral portion
of the water line and the trunk fee.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Johnson, to close the public hearing
at 8:35 p.m.
4. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TRUNK SEWER LINE
Mayor Theis opened the public hearing at 8:35 p.m. for the
purpose of hearing comments on the construction of a trunk
sanitary sewer line to provide service for the proposed Lundgren
residential subdivision and the undeveloped commercial/industrial
property to the south.
Project Engineer Shawn Gustafson said the proposed improvements
included the construction of a 12-inch diameter trunk sanitary
sewer line which would be extended north from the existing trunk
line in the Grier Industrial Park. The line would be jacked
under the railroad and Trunk Highway 55. The project costs were
estimated at $300,750. The proposed assessments included a trunk
fee of $1,250 per net developable acre for residential property
and $2,500 per net developable acre for commercial/industrial
property. Bonestroo recommended an additional lateral assessment
of $25 per foot of frontage along the trunk sewer for property
that could hook up directly to the sanitary sewer trunk line.
Richard Theis, 805 Meander Road, said it appeared that
residential property owners were not being considered because of
the distance of the trunk line from their lots. Theis said
existing homeowners would be forced to pay higher assessments for
a lateral sewer line. He wanted to know why the sewer line was
being placed in the location proposed by the city engineers.
City Engineer Cook estimated that it would cost approximately
$40,000 to run sanitary sewer lines to the existing homes along
the west side of County Road 116. Cook said that if residents
were interested in getting sewer, the City would try to be fair
75
when determining how each lot should be assessed. Cook said two
laterals would have to be constructed to serve the five homes
along the west side of Co. Rd. 116, three of which are on Meander
Road.
Terry Forbord of Lundgren Bros. said city engineers designed the
sewer system in the most cost-effective means possible and in the
best location possible for gravity flow. Forbord said he
understood the plight of those who would like to hook up to
sewer, but he said this discussion had been taking place for one
and a half years and property owners should have petitioned the
City a long time ago.
Dale Hendrickson, 825 Meander Road, said he would like to see the
existing homes included in the project.
Councilmember Ferris said the City should facilitate the
residential property owners interest in being included in the
project. He asked what the delay would be if the Council were to
consider the inclusion of two laterals in the project.
Glenn Cook said there would be no delay in the project.
City Attorney Batty said the Council could continue the hearing
in two weeks and amend the project as needed.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to continue the public
hearing on Tuesday, June 1, 1993 and to direct the city engineers
to prepare an itemized list of estimated construction costs for
sanitary sewer lateral lines needed to serve the existing homes
along the west side of County Road 116; and to direct the city
clerk to mail notices to affected property owners who were not
previously notified of the hearing.
Motion carried unanimously.
5. MINUTES

9. HAMEL FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET
In a letter to the City Council, former fire chief, Julius
Dorweiler, requested that the Council grant the Hamel Fire
Department its original budget request to help offset expenditure
increases.
Councilmember Zietlow said the decision was already made to

late to amend the budget.

forward.
