B. Authorize Purchase and Installation of Fueling Equipment from Westside

Mayor Zietlow asked Dillman as to the reason for the purchase and installation of fueling

and being assessed a fine.
Brinkman inquired as to the current condition of the fueling equipment and dollar amount
of the potential fine. Dillman stated that he wasn't sure of the fine amount and the fuel

years and had expired last year.
Lane asked how the City missed the upgrade in the 2004 budget. Dillman stated that it
was his oversight.

familiarize them with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District protection. Randy
Hughes, Park Chair for Medina, has agreed and will discuss at the March Park Meeting.
C. Planning Commission
Kohnen stated that Farmers State Bank of Hamel will be in attendance at the March 9,
2004 meeting. Charles Cudd & Co. "Villages of Lake Medina" project will also be on the
agenda for the review process of a comprehensive plan amendment and re -zoning.
VII. OLD BUSINESS
A. Hamel Legion Park Community Building
1. Acceptance of Plans and Specifications
Adams stated that staff met with Bonestroo, Hamel Lions, and Bill Wolters on Friday,
February 28, 2003 to make final changes to the plans. The final plans and specs, with
staffs agreed changes, have been made and are available for final staff review. One
change to be made is the name of the building. The building will not have the Lions logo
or Soo Line logo on the front of building. A sign will be placed on the building as "Hamel
Community Building, City of Medina."
Mayor Zietlow summarized that Council would be voting to move forward with the project
and advertisement of bids. The City's hope would be for the solicited bids to come back
for less than the funds available. The decision to move forward after receipt of bids
would only occur once the City found a way to fund the project.
Adams stated that the bid would require a breakdown of several alternates. The City will
compare site plan bids to decide if City should provide the work.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to accept the plans and specifications of
Hamel Legion Park Community Building. Motion passed unanimously.
Lane asked Batty how the Development Agreement would be administered.
Batty stated that the agreement currently states in Section 7 that certain minimum
furnishings shall be provided: office furniture (not equipment), tables, and chairs in the
assembly room. The agreement is very general and does not address installation
timing, providing a coat rack, bench for warming area, and miscellaneous kitchen
equipment. Batty asked Council for suggestions on how to address the undisclosed
issues and who was to pay for the furnishings. The plans indicate the coat rack, bench
and kitchen equipment is not part of the bidding process. Batty stated that if the
language in the development agreement isn't adequate, then Council should not accept
the agreement and ask for better clarification.
Adams recommended putting language into the contract addressing the furnishing
specifications, as well as the time frame for installation. He stated that he felt that it is
reasonable to expect installation of the fixtures by 2004, and exterior plantings by 2005.
Adams stated that the coat rack, kitchen equipment, and plantings are not included in
the bidding documents. Therefore, the details of who will be paying for the furnishings
will need to be in the development agreement.
Batty summarized that these items were pulled out of the specifications and plans and if
Council approves the specifications and plans tonight, these items won't be included.

Smith asked for a date from Eric Jungels of Hamel Lions as when to expect the
miscellaneous furnishings to be provided and installed. Adams also asked if it was
reasonable to expect the furnishing items to be provided and installed by the completion
date of the building.
Jungels stated that November 1, 2004 was the projected date of completion for the
warming house. He clarified that kitchen area, as discussed in tonight's meeting, was
not a kitchen; as it is better described as a serving area with a countertop, plug -ins and a
sink. He requested the term "kitchen" to be stricken of the development agreement.
Lane asked Kohnen if any of the furnishing items would delay the issuance of the
occupancy permit. Kohnen answered in the negative.
2. Approval of Proiect Development Agreement with Hamel Lions
Adams stated that he spoke with City Attorney, Ron Batty, regarding a few clarifications
in regard to the February 24, 2003 Special Meeting package.
Moved by Workman, seconded by Smith, to approve the execution of the Project
Development Agreement with the exception of the changes to include that building
foundation plantings must be paid and installed by Hamel Lions by June 2005, and that
other improvements not included plans and specs be completed no later than the
certificate of occupancy is issued. Motion passed unanimously.
3. Approval to Advertise for Bids
Adams stated a change in date and time of the bid due date and bid opening was made
since the delivery of the bid package (from February 24, 2004 special meeting packet) to
Council Members. The new date and time will be Tuesday, March 30, 2003 at 2:00 p.m.
Adams stated that the South Crow River News would advertise the solicitation for
twenty-one days. Batty has approved the publication of solicitation.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to approve the advertisement for bids in the
South Crow River News. Motion passed unanimously.
4. Lions of MN Lions Grant Request
Adams stated that the Lions have set aside $88,000 in the Lions of Minnesota Charitable
Foundation. The foundation has asked that the City make a formal request, via
application, to transfer funds to the City for the community building project.
Moved by Workman, seconded by Smith, to approve the application for the MN Lions
Grant Request. Motion passed unanimously.
Lane asked Batty if the City is required to accept the funds via the conditions provided
by the Lions. Batty explained that the request does not seem unreasonable and State
Statute provides language which applies to the accepting of funds process.
Zietlow announced the Council would next consider the City Administrator Report since
Adams had requested to be excused from the meeting.

IX. REPORTS
A. City Administrator Report
1. City Planner hiring
Adams stated that he has made a preliminary offer, contingent on Council approval, to
the City's top candidate. He summarized the outline of the process that was followed,
including those involved in the interviewing process. The top candidate is Joshua Doty,
a present Associate Planner with the City of Plymouth. Joshua Doty's recommendation
is based on application review, oral interviews and conducting background checks.
Adams recommends appointment of Mr. Doty.
Smith stated that Mr. Doty is very qualified and she looks forward to working with him.
Brinkman asked Adams how Mr. Doty felt about the split job description of Planning,
Parks and Assistant to City Administrator. Adams stated that Mr. Doty appeared to be
enthusiastic about the variety.
Moved by Smith, seconded by Workman, to formally approve the hiring of Joshua Doty,
effective March 22, 2004 for the salary of $54,500. Motion passed unanimously.
Lane complimented Adams on his thoroughness of his search and stated he is
comforted by his selection for the position.
2. Long Lake Fire Department — Budget Amendment
The Long Lake Fire Advisory committee has recommended a change in the 2004 Fire
Department Budget regarding Pension contribution. Training pay was initially budgeted
in 2004 for Fire Department in amount of $25,000, which resulted in $25,000 reduction
to $15,000 for Fire Pension Contribution. The contribution to Fire Pension in last few
years has been $40,000. The Fire Department has requested the committee to consider
the budget amendment resulting in $40,000 for Fire Pension Contribution and $0 training
pay in 2004. The Long Lake City Council has approved the budget amendment.
Medina City Council approval is needed to amend the budget as well.
Lane stated that the amendment came as an internal request from the Long Lake Fire
Department as they did not realize what they would be losing in their retirement pay, and
were looking to return the Pension contribution back to the way it was.
Moved by Mayor Zietlow, seconded by Brinkman, to approve budget amendment for
$40,000 for Fire Pension Contribution and $0 in training pay in 2004. Motion passed
unanimously.
3. 2004 Cabin Social
Adams requested that Council members bring a few recommended names to the
meeting, who would help volunteer to raise funds for this year and future year Cabin
Socials. The City has funds available to proceed with the Social without fireworks. The
fireworks will cost $4,000.
Workman stated that he would like to talk to the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and
to a few business owners. He stated that he also likes the idea of requesting non-profit
organizations to fund the fireworks.
Smith stated that she will call City of Medina resident, Chriss Renier, for interest.

Workman stated that he thinks a formal request for donations should be made in letter
form. He expressed that he wanted to make sure those who contribute are properly
recognized for their donation, as the City hasn't been good at this in the past.
Smith stated that she'd like to keep the donations from within the City's own residents.
Adams was excused from the City Council meeting at 8:12 p.m.
B. County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 29 Intersection Plan
1. Resolution Approving CSAH 29 Concept Plan
Zietlow introduced Dick Krier from Maple Plain to present and discuss the Intersection
Plan, which was originally discussed in the fall of 2003. Council reviewed the resolution
for approval, a copy of Maple Plains approved resolution, an e-mail message to Maple
Plain concerning requests from the City, an Intersection Plan map, and a memo from
Dick Krier to Maple Plain pertaining to the issue. Maple Plain is requesting approval of
the resolution.
Mr. Krier presented an Intersection Plan Map via overhead and presented the concept
plan to Council.
Lane stated that the City still has concerns on lighting and landscaping issues, as raised
and communicated by Adams in November. Since there hasn't been any development
on the property in Maple Plain, the residents haven't said anything about the Home
Depot development.
Smith asked if the business owners and the residents along the intersection have been
made aware of the proposed concept plan. Dillman stated that residents are aware and
not upset with the proposed trail; however based on along Medina's side, if the trees are
removed, than an additional ROW will be required to be added.
Krier recommended Council make these conditions as part of their motion to approve.
Confusion was expressed amongst Council Members as to whether the City of Medina's
Park, and Planning and Zoning Committees had a chance to review the intersection and
concept plan. Lane clarified that these plans have only been heard by Maple Plain's
Planning and Zoning Committee, as well as a public hearing held in Maple Plain.
Smith asked Elizabeth Weir of Medina's Planning and Zoning Committee if she had seen
any of this information on their meeting agenda. Weir stated that she didn't recall this
resolution and plan being presented in front of the Committee.
Workman asked what Krier's time frame was on the development of CSAH 19. Krier
stated that there wasn't any time frame set on the project.
Workman recommended that this be forwarded to Medina's Park, and Planning and
Zoning Committees, as well addressed at a public hearing prior to further review.

Moved by Workman, seconded by Smith to table Approving CSAH 29 Concept Plan until
the plan has been presented to the Park and Planning Committees. Motion passed
unanimously.
Krier asked if the topic could all be re -addressed with Council in April and asked for the
dates as to when the Park and Planning Committees meet.
Weir informed Krier that the Planning Committee will meet March 9, 2004. Smith stated
that the Park Committee will meet March 17, 2004.
Smith informed Krier that plans will be brought back to Council the second week of April.
2. Maple Plain Water Service Extension to Medina
Mayor Zietlow stated that as part of the Intersection Plan, discussions have been held to
bring water service to Medina for future needs. Adams plans to meet with Jim Dillman to
discuss this in more detail. Adams recently received an estimate from Maple Plain, via
Glen Cook at Bonestroo, which stated the cost of such construction would be less than
$25,000 if done in conjunction with the project. The county would require approximately
$35,000 if the water service needs to be jacked under the road.
Mr. Krier stated that there isn't sufficient water pressure in the NW quadrant of the City.
The water pressure can be improved by changing 6" lines to 8" lines and extending the
water across CSAH 29 to the city members of Medina. Mr. Krier stated that the best
opportunity for the change would be when the road is tore up during the CSAH 29
project in order to get the water across the road and get it hooked up to the commercial
areas. He stated that he doesn't feel that it should solely be Maple Plain's cost to make
the water pressure improvements, asking Medina to re -coop part of the cost.
Workman stated that he would like the proposal forwarded to the City engineer for
further review. Brinkman asked if this project would involve water and sewer. Mr. Krier
stated only sewer. Belland stated that nobody wanted water. Workman clarified that if
water was needed in the future, the developer would be the one to fund that. Mr. Krier
proposed that the water funding should be part of the agreement.
No motion was made. The proposal will be tabled with the CSAH 29 project to be
reviewed by the Planning Committee.
Smith asked if the residents knew that it would cost $10,000 less to do it now rather than
at a future date.
Belland stated that there would be a public hearing to inform residents at the time of the
Planning Committee Meeting.
C. Discussion of Wright -Hennepin Electric Conditional Use Permit
Mayor Zietlow presented Wright -Hennepin Electric in their address to City Council
regarding their proposed Conditional Use Permit. Wayne Bauernschmidt of Wright
Hennepin introduced Gary Olstrum of Great River Energy to address: 1) Transmission
lines and poles to substation, and 2) Adding a condition that Wright Hennepin could
continue to develop the site without all work being completed on the transmission lines.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
March 3, 2004
58
Olstrum stated that it was his business to bring the wires to the substation. He has
looked at the route, noted that the route is a good route, has been involved in the some
of preliminary design, talked to landowners in the vicinity, and needs yet to either receive
easement donations or acquire easements. He indicated he has made efforts to work
with the landowners and will eventually work out agreements with them to get the power
lines. He stated that he would like to see the substation permitted.
Zietlow asked for clarification from Olstrum as to whether the City has any control over
the placement of the power lines and what the time frame for the placement was.
Olstrum stated that although the City doesn't have any control over the placement of the
power lines, Great River is working with the landowners per Section 116-C which states
that Great River will have to justly compensate landowners as mandated by State law if
there is to be a line over the landowners property. Based on his review of the project
files, contact has been made with all landowners, and only one landowner has
volunteered easement. Standard practice calls for most easements still need to be
negotiated. He said that the project is obligated to be completed by June 2005. The
upcoming steps involve finalizing the design, sending the design to landowners, starting
acquiring easements, and starting to build by the end of 2004.
Brinkman stated that his agreement with Wright -Hennepin was to grant CUP on the
placement based on the original accepted placement route. The owners of the land
have been a part of the discussion in the past, so it doesn't seem fair to go ahead with
this until the landowners have been contacted. There were two routes proposed for the
route and if the landowners didn't agree with the current route, then Great River will have
to go with the original route.
Olstrum discussed the Highway 55 vs. Pioneer Railroad route. He stated that the
problem with the Highway 55 plan is that the route hasn't been finalized, more property
owners will be affected by the route, and the final placement of the lines will look busier.
Bauernschmidt stated that by utilizing the Railroad ROW, it will be easier to prevent the
interruption of line transmission. In addition, he stated that they received the Medina
Parks Second Addition Plat back from the County this week, and will be bringing it in to
get a signature next week. Wright -Hennepin has addressed all proposed changes from
Council pertaining to site screening, diversity in plantings, alteration of driveway
entrance, and dedicated a lot of the property to draining and utility easements.
Mr. Olstrum submitted to Council, that history indicates that by the time Great River has
finished any project, the landowners whom may not have accepted the line in the
beginning, felt that they had been treated fairly. He recommended Council act on the
CUP permit, with the condition that the landowners agree to the easement agreement.
Bauernschmidt also requested action and approval of the CUP stating that all property
owners have been contacted and negotiations are in place.
Brinkman stated that he has an issue with the current route because it wasn't the route
that was originally approved by the landowners.
Zietlow asked for clarification on what the CUP means.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
March 3, 2004
59
Bauernschmidt stated that the CUP would allow them to build a substation.
Brinkman asked Olstrum about the alternate route, requesting that Great River waits
until all negotiations and contracts have been agreed and signed.
Olstrum stated that there was a risk of condemnation. The route along the Rail Road is
the best looking route; however, there is probably one landowner that won't agree to the
route and provide an easement. The risk of having to apply for condemnation is that it
would stall the project by three to four months in order to file a petition with the county,
and to get a proper hearing.
Dorothy Anderson, resident of Medina, stated that she didn't approve of Wright -
Hennepin moving into Medina. She and her husband had purposely moved to a city that
wasn't served by Wright -Hennepin in order to avoid the service problems they had at
their prior residence. She stated that she felt that Medina residents should be
more/better informed by this upcoming action.
Zietlow suggested to table the application for one month to allow for better relations with
the affected landowners.
Olstrum stated that the circumstances will not change in a month's time. Great River
has proof that one landowner won't negotiate with them.
Zietlow recommended Olstrum start the condemnation process. Stating that the City will
lose all control if they approve the CUP, and the City's main concern is to protect the
residents. He asked that Olstrum at least make a good effort to work with the
landowner; if the landowner still doesn't cooperate, he recommended starting the
condemnation process understanding that this will delay the construction process.
Batty asked if they needed a, CUP in order to show seriousness of intent to start project.
Olstrum stated yes and hoped to at least get the CUP to build the substation. He asked
for clarification on how to proceed with the landowner, asking if Great River should invite
the landowner to the next City Council meeting, or have the landowner write a letter of
concern to the City.
Brinkman stated that if Great River would at least prove that the landowner is behind
them, then the City could support Wright -Hennepin.
Lane asked why they thought the landowner was denying the claim. Olstrum stated that
the landowner doesn't want the lines on his side of the road. The landowner would
prefer to see the lines placed across the street.
Kohnen informed Council that an extension needs to be requested for the CUP process.
Smith proposed that Great River return in two weeks for the March 16, 2004 Council
Meeting, rather than waiting a month.
Kohnen stated that he needs to receive a formal request for a 30 day extension.
Olstrum stated he would agree to do this.

Bauernschmidt asked for clarification on how the Council would like Great River to
proceed with the landowner.
Zietlow stated that Council would accept a phone call from the landowner. The phone
call needs to be placed to somebody on Council within two weeks.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Swearing In of Patrol Officer Keith Converse
Chief Belland stated that he is recommending the Swearing In ceremony of Patrol
Officer Keith Converse. Sworn in by Mayor Zietlow at 9:15 p.m.
B. Mayer Mobil — Tobacco Violation
Chief Belland reviewed his memo regarding the tobacco violation and history of
violations for Mayer Mobil. Tobacco compliance checks were performed on October 20,
2004. Belland was seeking advisement from Council on how to proceed with charging
Randy Mayer of Mayer Mobil, as this was his first offense.
Randy Mayer stated that he was embarrassed to be standing in front of Council. He
stated that his turnover rate is every 90 days and most of his employees are 17 years
old. He discussed his training process, stating that it entails making his new employees
watch a video on the sale of tobacco, and a reminder sign on the counter that states
employees are to check IDs for anybody appearing to be under the age of 30. He
informed Council that the employee under violation was immediately terminated. Mayer
also has the terminated employee forfeit their final paycheck to refund the penalty and
embarrassment.
Workman asked Belland how violations had been assessed in the past. Belland stated
that $500 was the penalty for a first time offense.
Lane asked Batty if the City has any legislative process to waive the penalty. Batty
answered in the affirmative.
Workman recommended using discretion on this case and suspending the fee.
Moved by Lane, seconded by Workman, to approve assessment of $500 fine for first
offense, with the first $400 of the fine to be suspended for six months provided that there
are no other violations. Motion passed unanimously.
Belland stated that one to two compliance checks are performed a year.
Lane asked Belland about the morality of using underage decoys to purchase tobacco.
Belland stated that by law, a decoy between the ages of 16-18 are required to be used
for tobacco compliance checks.
C. Approval of Conditional Use Permit to William Kroll, 3839 County Road 116
Kohnen reviewed his memo that addresses the conditions being recommended by staff
and the Planning Commission. Staff recommends approval of the CUP with
recommended conditions.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
March 3, 2004
61
Kohnen presented the site plan, elevations and private water line location of 3839
County Road 116. The water line runs under the building to the fire hydrant at the
northwest exterior corner of the building. He stated that the City would require a signed
acknowledgment stating that the water line will be maintained by the owner of the
property, and that the City has no responsibility for maintenance, replacement and/or
damage to the property.
Lane asked why the City wouldn't require an easement to maintain the water line.
Dillman stated that there was an agreement between the City and the previous building
owner that the owner takes full responsibility of the water pipe due to liability issues.
Dillman reiterated that this situation wasn't any different from a residential water line and
wasn't considered to be an unusual circumstance.
William Kroll stated that he wasn't opposed to an easement and he just wanted to know
where Council would like to see the location of the trail along County Road 116.
Kroll asked Council how to proceed from this point forward. Smith stated that the Park
Commission should be involved since there might be a possibility of a trail placement.
Moved by Workman, seconded by Smith, to approve the Conditional Use Permit to
William Kroll, 3839 County Road 116 based on 9 recommendations of Planning
Commission as well as placement of negotiated trail location along County Road 116.
Motion passed unanimously.
Discussion occurred regarding an amendment to the motion to remove the 1984
ordinance upon approval of the CUP.
D. Discussion of Uptown Hamel Ordinance Revisions
Staff is seeking direction on revisions desired by the Council. A copy of the ordinance
was placed in the February 24th Council packet for reference.
Kohnen stated Adams requested that he discuss revisions with the members of Council.
Batty stated he was surprised with the amount of flexibility that Council has allowed for in
the ordinance with the construction of the building: height limitation, open space, etc.
Batty asked Council what one issue they would like to see more bent so that the building
can be pushed though without a lot of variances.
Workman stated that he doesn't want the ordinance to be revised only to specifically
meet the Uptown Hamel project request. The ordinance should be written to be flexible,
yet fair.
Weir proposed forming a small, focused committee to meet without the developer for a
timetable of a few weeks, serving its purpose to screen out the type of development the
City does not want while allowing flexibility.
Workman proposed that a couple of members from Council and a couple of members
from Planning should meet to amend the ordinance.
Medina City Council Meeting Minutes
March 3, 2004
62
Lane stated that Council should appoint Liz Weir to be the chair head, appoint two
members from Council, and another member from Planning to meet with Adams and
Weir as the small committee group that meets with the developer.
Smith and Brinkman volunteered to be members of the small committee.
Batty requested that the results of the committee meeting be brought to a public hearing
at the Planning Meeting, and then brought back in draft form to the Council on April 6tn
Smith requested that members of Council submit proposed changes to her and
Brinkman in order to bring forward to the small committee meeting.
