The City Council of Medina, Minnesota met in regular session on
November 15, 1994 at 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers
with Mayor Anne Theis presiding.
Members Present: John Ferris, Ann Thies, Philip Zietlow and
Mayor Theis.
Members Absent: James Johnson.
Also Present:
Police Chief Rick Rabenort, 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 Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to adopt the agenda with the
following additions:
A. Consideration of Park Commission Recommendations
B. Engineer's Update on Elm Creek Interceptor
Motion passed unanimously.
2. CONSENT AGENDA

as follows:
A. Approval of "Corporate Authorization Resolution" with Farmers
State Bank of Hamel
Motion passed unanimously.
3. MINUTES

the regular meeting of November 1, 1994, as amended, as follows:
Page 2, item 4, paragraph 5, to read, "...into the wetlands..."
Page 4, item 9, paragraph 1, to read, "...to May 15, 1995..."
Motion passed unanimously.
4. GOODIN COMPANY - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
The Goodin Company wished to purchase the Wright Hennepin Electric
building located at 4352 Willow Drive and applied for a conditional
use permit to use the building and property for an office, showroom
and warehouse for plumbing fixtures and materials. The Planning
Commission recommended that the conditional use permit be approved
with 12 conditions.
Phil Zietlow said the Planning Commission minutes indicated that
the traffic could be substantial. Zietlow said the Council needed
to know approximately how much traffic would be generated each day.
Bernard Reisberg, president of Goodin Co., said he was reluctant to
say how much traffic there would be each day, but he hoped it would
167
be significant.
Mayor Theis asked how many full-time employees would be at the
site.
Reisberg said they would start with six full-time employees, but it
could go up to ten.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to direct staff to prepare a
resolution granting a conditional use permit to Goodin Company for
an office/warehouse/showroom at 4352 Willow Drive with 12
conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion
passed unanimously.
5. APPROVAL TO RELEASE MONEY TO JIM FENNING/HUNTERLAND CORP.
Project Supervisor Joe Illetschko of Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik &
Associates said the Tuckborough Farms 1st - 5th Additions had been
completed and all the punch list items were finished with the
exception of record plans. He recommended that the Council accept
this project and release the balance of deposit in the amount of
$7,896.19 to Jim Fenning of Hunterland Corp.
Phil Zietlow asked why the city had not obtained the record plans.
Jim Dillman said the city did not require "as-builts" for the
construction of rural roads. Dillman said record plans are an
additional expense to the developer and contractor. Dillman
pointed out that having record plans made little difference because
if a road breaks up, someone has to rebuild the road anyway.
Ron Batty asked if record plans would be of any value if a road
needed to be fixed to insure that the road was built to
specifications.
Shawn Gustafson said record plans would be of value to determine
culvert location, elevations and street grades, but had little
value in rural road sections where there are ditches. Gustafson
said in rural sections, the main concern is gravel and pavement.
Moved by Thies, seconded by Zietlow, to accept the Tuckborough
Farms 1st - 5th Additions based on the recommendation of Bonestroo,
Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, and to release the balance of
deposit in the amount of $7,896.19 to Jim Fenning of Hunterland
Corp. Motion passed unanimously.
6. MICHAEL SEELAND - REQUEST TO ENROLL MEDINA PROPERTY INTO
METROPOLITAN AG PRESERVES PROGRAM
Jeff Karlson said Michael Seeland was purchasing the Otten property
located south of Medina and wished to enroll the farmland into the
Metropolitan Agricultural Preserves Program.
Ron Batty said the policy implication was that the city would lose
control of this land for at a minimum of eight years. However,
Batty did not think the city would lose anything from a financial
standpoint.
168
Phil Zietlow said he would like to know for sure what the financial
impact would be before granting ag preserve status. Zietlow asked
if Seeland was willing to pay the rezoning fees.
Loren Kohnen said he did not think Seeland would object to the
fees.
Batty said giving up 170 acres of developable land would be a good
selling point when dealing with the Met Council on the proposed
comprehensive plan amendment for Fred Keller and would help
maintain the City's ratio for low density development.
7. HOLLY LEUER - REQUEST FOR STREET SIGNS
Holly Leuer, 1522 Medina Road, said that since Medina Road was
paved from Tamarack Drive to Co. Rd. 24, the speed of traffic had
increased dramatically. She said that because her driveway was on
a curve, it was very dangerous to enter Medina Road due to the
higher speeds. Leuer asked that speed limit signs, a "hidden
driveway" sign and a "slow children" sign be installed to slow the
traffic down.
Jim Dillman said City Engineer Shawn Gustafson was working on the
sign plan for the west section of Medina Road. He said the entire
section of the road would have a double painted yellow line.
Shawn Gustafson said the City planned to install "curve ahead"
warning signs with advisory speeds.
8. SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY
Mayor Theis directed Jeff Karlson to contact other cities and the
League of Minnesota Cities to obtain various sexual harassment
policies that the City of Medina could apply to its own personnel
policy.
9. 1995 BUDGET
Jeff Karlson presented a revised budget proposal based on the
preliminary levy of $800,000. Karlson said the final taxable tax
capacity for taxes payable in 1995 was estimated at 5,301,738.
Karlson said one of the reasons for the big increase in tax
capacity was that tax increment financing districts 1-1 and 1-2
were going to be de -certified December 31, 1994. With a net levy
of $777,765, the City's tax rate for 1995 would be 14.67%.
Phil Zietlow asked if the $8,500 contribution to the Hamel Athletic
Club for the maintenance of Hamel Legion Park should stay with the
City for park maintenance.
Jim Dillman said the city could contract out the maintenance of the
park.
The Council discussed salary increases for city employees. Most
employees received a one-step pay increase plus a three percent
cost of living adjustment based on the wage schedule adopted
November, 1993.
169
The Council directed Jeff Karlson to make several revisions in the
budget and to add it to next agenda for final adoption.
10. ASSESSOR'S CONTRACT
Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Thies, to accept the "Contract
for Assessing Services" with The Greater Northwest Office of Real
Estate Assessment for the period of September 1, 1994 through
August 31, 1995 in the amount of $27,912. Motion passed
unanimously.
11. UPDATE ON ELM CREEK INTERCEPTOR
Shawn Gustafson said Metropolitan Council staff were still
recommending that the Met Council proceed with its plan to extend
the Elm Creek Interceptor. Gustafson said the Met Council is one
year behind its schedule and would like to be on line in eight
years.
12. PARK COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
The Park Commission asked the Council to consider hiring an
engineer to work with a sub -committee to develop Hamel Memorial
Park.
John Ferris said the City's financial commitment to the park was
wrapped up in the purchase of the land.
Phil Zietlow pointed out that the Park Commission had already
developed a conceptual plan for the park.
The Council directed Jeff Karlson to dig out the packet of
information which the commission presented to the Council so that
the representation made by the Park Commission could be revisited.
13. PAYMENT OF BILLS
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Mayor Theis, to approve payment of
Order Check Numbers 13897-13959 for $304,815.13 and Payroll Check
Numbers 14120-14149 for $12,657.74. Motion passed unanimously.
14. ADJOURNMENT
Moved by Thies, seconded by Ferris, to adjourn the meeting at 10:45
p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
