Motion passed unanimously.
3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES

regular meeting of October 4, 1994, as presented. Motion passed
unanimously.
4. LAKE INDEPENDENCE CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
The Council heard a presentation from Jeff Martin and Dick Picard
of the Lake Independence Citizens Association (LICA) pertaining to
the goals of the organization. Martin said the primary goal of the
organization was to improve and protect the quality of Lake
Independence and its dependent wildlife. He said LICA hoped to
accomplish their goals by developing a "watershed based lake
management plan" within the boundaries of the Pioneer -Sarah Creek
Watershed. Martin said the success of a long-term management plan
depended on the support and cooperation of local governments, state
153
agencies, area businesses, and residents. Martin said they would
like to begin a new partnership with the City of Medina in an
attempt to develop a lake plan that would be advantageous to
everyone.
5. SOO LINE WELL ABANDONMENT IN LORETTO
The Council discussed a letter that Mayor Theis received from MSA
Consulting Engineering regarding the sealing of an abandoned well
in the City of Loretto. The well, which had not been used since
the mid-1950s, was used by the Soo Line Railroad to fill steam
locomotives. Soo Line hired the engineering firm of Remediation
Technologies, Inc. (Retec) to assist them with the well sealing
project. Testing showed that the sediment in the well was
contaminated with a grease -like substance. A water sample was also
taken which revealed extremely low levels (below drinking water
standards) for three organic chemicals. Working jointly with the
Minnesota Department of Health and the MPCA, Retec concluded that
the sediment should be removed before the well was sealed. E.H.
Renner was hired to remove the sediment by air lifting it. This
air lifting process resulted in the flow that was discharged to
Loretto's wastewater ponds located in the City of Medina. The
volume of water discharged to the ponds was 38,600 gallons.
Ann Thies directed Jim Dillman to follow up on Loretto's response
to the Council and to bring this item back to the agenda after he
was satisfied that all pertinent information had been gathered.
6. GRADER BIDS
Jim Dillman said the City received two bids for the 1961 motor
grader with V plow and wing: $3,506.00 from Schoening Excavating,
Inc. and $2,165 from David Klatke, Jr. Dillman recommended that
the Council accept Schoening's bid.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Zietlow, to accept the bid of
$3,506.00 from Schoening Excavating, Inc. for the 1961 motor grader
with V plow and wing. Motion passed unanimously.
7. SPECIAL MEETING WITH MET COUNCIL
Ann Thies said Metropolitan Council Chair Dottie Rietow was co -
hosting a regional issue meeting with local officials and
interested citizens at the Countryside Cafe in Medina to discuss
how the Met Council could best serve the northwest metro area.
Ron Batty said the Council should call for a special meeting and
post an official notice since more than two members planned to
attend the meeting.
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to call a special meeting on
October 26, 1994 at 7:30 a.m. at the Countryside Cafe, 842 Highway
55, Medina, for the purpose of meeting with Met Council
representatives to discuss regional issues concerning local
citizens. Motion passed unanimously.

8. WESSIN OFFER TO PURCHASE CITY PROPERTY
George and David Wessin submitted a written offer to purchase 3.75
acres of city property (formerly Emil Jubert property) located at
the southeast corner of Highway 55 and Tamarack Drive. Wessin's
offer of $46,000 provided that all special assessments be paid by
the City.
Ron Batty said the City had been prepared to assess Jubert for the
T.H. 55 sewer project before the City decided to purchase the
property for $35,000. Batty said the only way to find out what the
property was worth was to get an appraisal. Batty added that the
City had previously talked about putting a well on the property.
Jim Dillman said the City would probably need three to five acres
of land in this area sometime in the future for the construction of
a well. Dillman said the City could purchase another parcel or
exchange land with the Wessin's. He said the property was not big
enough for a water tower.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to authorize Ron Batty to
obtain an appraisal for the 3.75 acre parcel of land located at the
southeast corner of Highway 55 and Tamarack Drive. Motion passed
unanimously.
9. UPDATE ON CLYDESDALE TRAIL STREET IMPROVEMENT
Shawn Gustafson said the City received a complaint about excavation
in a wetland area located near the Clydesdale Trail construction
project. Gustafson said he talked to Ali Durgunoglu, district
engineer from the Hennepin Conservation District (HCD), who
informed him that the City should have submitted construction plans
to the Elm Creek Watershed District. Gustafson said the plans were
approved by the DNR and the City obtained the necessary permits to
begin construction. In response, Gustafson said the plans were
sent to the Hennepin Conservation District for their review and
approval. Gustafson said he did expect any delays in the project,
but warned that the HCD could issue a "cease and desist" order.
10. FINAZZO/HYBERG/LEGION LAND ACQUISITION FOR CITY PARK
Ron Batty said the Hamel Legion signed the purchase agreement
regarding conveyance of the Legion property to the city for the
park. Batty said as far as the Legion was concerned there were two
issues at stake: (1) that they be reimbursed for property taxes
paid in 1994, amounting to $1,046.40 for three parcels; and (2)
the City only had to acquire the eastern portion of the Hyberg
property so that the western segment could be developed in the
future. Batty said developing in an area targeted for park space
in only a problem where there is a park dedication.
Batty said he had a signed purchase agreement from Sam Finazzo.
The closing date was set for January 4, 1995.
Batty said in order to obtain a good title for the Hyberg property,
it would be necessary to perform more legal work. Batty said he
prepared an "Addendum to Purchase Agreement" in which $5,000 of the
155
$100,000 purchase price would be held in escrow by the title
company in an interest bearing account until the City could
complete the title proceedings. If the City could obtain clear
title for less than $5,000, the Hyberg heirs would be paid the full
$5,000 plus accrued interest. If the expenses exceeded $5,000, the
City and the Hyberg estate would split any expenses over $5,000.
Ann Thies said the Council should wait until the next meeting on
November 1 to act on these matters so the three purchase agreements
could be handled at the same time.
11. FRED KELLER'S CEMETERY PROPOSAL
The Council reviewed a proposal from David Licht of Northwest
Associated Consultants, Inc. which provided a cost estimate for his
company to review and process a comprehensive plan amendment for
Fred Keller's proposed housing development. However, it did not
contain an estimate for consulting services for Keller's proposed
cemetery. The Council agreed that they needed another estimate for
the cemetery.
John Ferris said the Council should determine what David Licht's
role would be during the comprehensive plan amendment process.
Ann Thies directed staff to contact David Licht regarding an
estimate for consulting services related to the cemetery.
12. PAYMENT OF BILLS
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Thies, to approve payment of Order
Check Numbers 13789-13846 for $62,022.22 and Payroll Check Numbers
14089-14101 for $11,021.04. Motion passed unanimously.
13. ADJOURNMENT
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to adjourn the meeting at
8:39 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
