4. ORONO YOUTH BASEBALL ASSOCIATION
Board Member Randy Bosma of the Orono Youth Baseball Association
requested that the City of Medina contribute $5,000 toward the
development of two new baseball fields on a 12-acre site at the
corner of Old Crystal Bay Road and County Road No. 6. Bosma said
the land was owned by the Orono School District and would be leased
by the Youth Baseball Association. Bosma said the new fields were
necessary because of the increasing number of boys and girls
participating in the baseball and softball programs. He added that
the Association would continue to use the field at Bederwood Park
in Orono. Bosma said the entire project cost was estimated at
$94,000, which included backstops, fences, a 40-space parking lot,
roadway, excavation, and some playground equipment. The
Association would be responsible for maintaining the fields and
would carry $1,000,000 in liability coverage.
Bosma said 57 Medina residents belonged to the Orono Youth Baseball
Association.
The Park Commission heard the Association's request for funds at
their October 20, 1993 meeting and recommended that the Council
approve a $5,000 contribution from the Park Fund in lieu of the
City of Medina pursuing new fields in the south section of the city
and contingent upon the following: (1) the Association will not
come back to the city in the future and request funds for the
maintenance of the fields; and (2) the city obtain a copy of the
land agreement between the Orono Youth Baseball Association and the
Orono School District.
Council Member Zietlow said the only thing that disturbed him was
the separation of the boys and girls' programs. He said he opposed
the concept of boys and girls playing in separate sports and would
like to see them playing the same sports.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Zietlow, to approve the Park
Commission's recommendation --with two contingencies --that the City
contribute $5,000 from the Park Fund to the Orono Youth Baseball
Association for the development of two new baseball fields.
Motion carried unanimously.
5. PARK COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS
The Park Commission recommended that the council approve $1,000 in
expenditures for tree plantings at Maple Park.
Public Works Director Dillman said he would purchase bare root
stock in the spring and plant the trees at Maple Park.
Nyles Gentz, chairman of the Park Commission, said he would work
with Dillman to develop a walking trail to Maple Park.
193
The Park Commission also had recommended that the City Council
reimburse the Hamel Legion for the annual property taxes on the
Hamel Legion Memorial Park beginning in 1994 until the City
acquires the property. The property taxes amounted to 658.86 in
1993.
City Attorney Ron Batty said he was uncomfortable with the idea of
the city paying taxes on private property.
The council rejected the Park Commission's recommendation of having
the city reimburse Hamel Legion for its property taxes on the Hamel
Legion Park.
Nyles Gentz said the Hamel Uptown Business Association was
concerned about the City's slow progress in acquiring land for the
expansion of Hamel Memorial Park. He said several Hamel residents
were wondering if the Hyberg property had been sold. Gentz said it
was difficult to move the Hamel park project along without knowing
what the status of the Hyberg property was.
Council Member Thies said the problem was not that the Hyberg
property was no longer available. She said the problem was the
appraisals which were done on the Hyberg and Finazzo properties
which were 50% higher than two years ago. Thies recommended that
the council direct the Park Commission to look into other pieces of
property that might be available.
The council directed Nyles Gentz to have the Park Commission look
for alternative sites for the park and to get some reaction from
the Hamel area residents. The council asked Gentz to come back
with the results of the park commission's findings to the December
7, 1993 meeting.
6. ADOPTION OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS FOR CO. RD. 116 SEWER AND WATER
IMPROVEMENT

"Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for County Road 116 Trunk
Sanitary Sewer Improvement."

"Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for County Road 116 Trunk
Water Main Improvement."
Ayes: Ferris, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.

93-90, "Resolution Certifying Delinquent Water, Sewer and Recycling
Charges to the Hennepin County Auditor for Collection."

8. STATUS REPORT OF FISCAL CONSULTANT
Clerk -Treasurer Karlson said that Jeanne Vanda wished to meet with
the council to talk about her new position with Public Financial
Management, Inc. as a senior managing consultant. Vanda was
working at Ehlers and Associates, Inc. where she acted as the
city's fiscal consultant before resigning from the company in July,
1993.
Moved by Mayor Theis, seconded by Thies, to direct Clerk -Treasurer
Karlson to contact Jeanne Vanda and request that she appear at the
December 7, 1993 council meeting at which time the council will
consider the appointment of Vanda as the City's financial advisor.
Motion carried unanimously.
9. REPORT ON T.H. 12 POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING
Council Member Ann Thies gave a report on the Trunk Highway 12
Policy Committee meeting held October 20, 1993. Thies said the
Minnesota Department of Transportation had identified an alternate
connection for segment G of the T.H. 12 project that bypasses the
Wayzata Country Club. Thies said Mn/DOT was providing detailed
maps for each city which would be available at the November 19,
1993 meeting. Thies added that she would not be able to attend
this meeting.
Council Member Ferris agreed to attend the next meeting and pick up
the maps.
10. PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF MEDINA ROAD
Council Member Zietlow said he received a petition from property
owners requesting that a portion of Medina Road be paved west of
Tamarack Drive.
City Attorney Batty pointed out that this section was part of Phase
III of the Medina Road Improvement Project which extended from
Tamarack Drive to County Road 24. Batty said it would cost the
city more to complete Phase III because the assessments that could
be levied would be disproportionate to the number of residents
assessed in Phase II of the project.
Zietlow said the residents along the western section of Medina Road
opposed the improvement project when it was proposed in 1992.
Council Member Ferris said the council should get an update on what
it would cost to pave the remainder of Medina Road from Brockton
Lane to County Road 24.
The council directed City Engineer Shawn Gustafson to obtain a cost
estimate for paving the remainder of Medina Road from Brockton Lane
to County Road 24.
The council agreed that an assessment hearing could be held January
18, 1994.
195
Moved by Zietlow, seconded by Ferris, to adopt Resolution No. 93-
91, "Resolution Calling for Preparation of an Updated Feasibility
Report and for a Public Hearing on the Assessment for the
Improvement of Medina Road and Preparation of Proposed Assessment."
Ayes: Ferris, Thies, Zietlow and Mayor Theis. Nays: None.
Resolution No. 93-91 adopted a 4-aye and 0-nay vote.
11. LORETTO CONTRACT FOR POLICE PROTECTION
City Attorney Batty pointed out two changes in the police contract
with Loretto. Batty said he changed the language in Paragraph 7 to
read "Consumer Price Index for the Twin Cities metropolitan area
(CPI-W)" and in Paragraph 12 which states that either party must
give 15-month written notice of its intention to terminate the
contract.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to approve the "Contract for
Police Protection" between the City of Medina and the City of
Loretto with the changes in Paragraphs 7 and 12.
Motion carried unanimously.
12. 1993 BUDGET
Police Chief Rabenort pointed out that the November 2, 1993 minutes
listed the salaries of the police officers as being approved.
Rabenort said the police officers salaries should not be included
in the motion approving the 1994 salaries for city employees since
the officers were still negotiating on a new contract with the
union.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to amend the minutes of
November 2, 1993 by excluding the police officers from the list of
approved salaries and adding a notation that the officers salaries
are subject to union negotiations.
Motion carried unanimously.
Moved by Ferris, seconded by Thies, to approve the revised budget
numbers and tax levy for 1994, as follows:
