Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Page No. 4 December 15, 1998 PUBLIC COIVIMIENTS Cynthia Shanno, Mendota Meadows Development, spoke to the Council regarding issues with the developer /contractor. She noted the City is giving the contractor until May 31 to prepare for a final inspection of the development. Ms. Shanno noted the slope has failed a number of times and pointed out the correction of this is addressed in the engineering reports regarding this project which she supplied to the Council. Mr. Danielson explained at this time of year it would be impossible to judge the condition of the landscaping and it would be possible to do this in the spring when the trees are leafed out. In addition, Attorney Hart explained a developer must be given a reasonable opportunity to cure the defaults. Given typical Minnesota weather, it would not be reasonable to give a 30 day time period for the developer to remedy the situation. Mayor Mertensotto suggested directing the developer to submit proper engineering plans to the City prior to the May 31 deadline which would permit time for Staff to determine the accuracy of the plans. This will also be an indication of whether the developer intends to comply. Ms. Shanno pointed out repair attempts in the past have been unsuccessful, therefore, she suggested there be some sort of professional accountability for the corrections which are implemented. Councihnember Huber moved directing the Engineering Department to require the developer to submit plans and specifications to the City by March 1, 1998 relative to the remedial action which will be taken in compliance with the Developer's Agreement at the Mendota Meadows Development. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Page No. 5 December 15, 1998 Nays: 0 Tom Koepke, 539 John Street, spoke to the Council about the recent vandalism suffered by School District 197 at the Somerset Heights School. Mr. Koepke asked whether the School District has set up a security system and felt the City should verify the school has a security system since they do utilize the City's police and fire departments. Mayor Mertensotto acknowledged Chief Johnson and the Mendota Heights Police Department and expressed his appreciation for their work in bringing this situation to a very rapid conclusion. He asked this appreciation be relayed to the members of the department. In response to Mr. Koepke's question, Mayor Mertensotto explained it is not incumbent upon the City to determine the security measures which are taken by the school and noted this question would be more appropriately directed to the District 197 School Board. I No 61 Is 1 Do 1W.111011IM011 1 SUBSEQUENT TRUTH -IN- Councilmember Huber moved closing the public hearing at TAXATION HEARING 8:10 p.m. FINAL 1999 BUDGET Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. DISCUSSION AND LEVY RESOLUTION Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DISCUSS RESOLUTION AMENDING PAY Councilmember Smith moved adopting RESOLUTION NO. 98 -99 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL 1998 TAX LEVY COLLECTABLE IN 1999 AND ADOPTING PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 1999. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Administrator Batchelder explained on December 7, 1998, the Council held the Truth -in- Taxation public hearing to CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR NON O R G- A N I Z E D EMPLOYEES AND CONSIDERATION OF A SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES FOR 1999 AND ESTABLISHING CERTAIN OTHER BENEFITS (CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. "n ") Page No. 6 December 15, 1998 consider the 1999 Budget and the tax levy which would have to be adopted to support the final budget. At that time, the Council requested a final recommendation be made regarding a proposed salary increase for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief. Council acknowledged the memo of City Administrator Kevin Batchelder relative to the final 1999 Budget discussion and levy resolution, including a recommendation relative to a compensation schedule for the Fire Chief and the Assistant Fire Chief. Administrator Batchelder noted an additional explanation has been added specifying the administrative salary for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief as well as the hourly rate which applies to fire training and drills. Councilmember Huber moved adopting RESOLUTION NO. 98 -100 - A RESOLUTION AMENDING PAY CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR NON ORGANIZED EMPLOYEES TO REFLECT A THREE PERCENT ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR 1999. Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Councilmember Huber moved adopting RESOLUTION NO. 98 -101 - A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES FOR 1999 AND ESTABLISHING CERTAIN OTHER BENEFITS. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 APPROVAL OF CENTRE Attorney Hart explained the lender has objected to the City POINTE BUSINESS PARK having any interest in the insurance proceeds should there be PHASE III TAX a casualty in the first seven years which is the remaining 7 I N C R E M E N T term of the tax increment district. It is of concern to the AGREEMENT (CONSENT City the lump sum basis of the tax increment financing is Page No. 7 December 15, 1998 CALENDAR ITEM "m ") being invested and if there were a casualty in the early days of the project and the project were not rebuilt, the City would be deprived of the benefit of the bargain. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DISCUSS CROSS COUNTRY SKI TRAILS AT MENDOTA HEIGHTS PAR 3 AND DISCUSS REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Attorney Hart agreed with Counsel for the developer it would be appropriate for the City to subordinate its interest in the insurance proceeds to that of a first mortgage holder. The developer has agreed that in the event there is a casualty, and in the further event the first lender does not allow use of the insurance proceeds for restoration, they will be obligated to either restore the property in any event or, if they have not done so in a timely manner, to repay the City the unamortized balance of the tax increment benefits which the City has given them. The City would then have a first priority lien on the property to secure that right. Mayor Mertensotto questioned whether there is a forfeiture provision relative to the land. Attorney Hart explained the City would have to foreclose on the lien, however, he felt it would be unlikely the City would have to utilize this option. Councilmember Dwyer moved approving Centre Pointe Business Park Phase III Tax Increment Agreement as amended. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Council acknowledged the memo from Bill Bird, Recreation Programmer, regarding a cross country ski trail at Mendota Heights Par 3 as well as a request for financial assistance. Mr. Bird was in attendance to discuss this matter. Members of the Henry Sibley and Convent of the Visitation Cross Country Teams were in attendance along with Tom Gustafson, Ski Coach of the Henry Sibley Team, and Ann Norton of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. Bird explained after over a year of working together with the schools, residents, Parks and Recreation Commission and the Mendota Heights Par 3 Golf Course, a cross country ski trail will be opening at the Par 3 golf Page No. 8 December 15, 1998 course in December 1998, weather permitting. The ski trail will be completely contained within the Par 3 golf course boundaries. Members of the community have requested that the City make a contribution to this project since it would enhance the usability of the trails for all Mendota Heights residents. It was noted the ski trail will be open free to the public, seven days per week. Users of the course will include the general public, local schools, City run program participants and the Mendota Heights Athletic Association. Mr. Bird stated at this point, he would like the County to come in and groom the trail once per week. Commissioner Norton explained this type of trail has been discussed for a number of years and she felt the proposal before the Council to be an excellent start in the right direction. Commissioner Norton stated the goal is to expand the recreational opportunities for the residents of Mendota Heights. She asked the Council to consider a $4,000 contribution which would initially be used to purchase the snowmobile equipment to allow the school to do the grooming. Commissioner Norton asked that there be some flexibility relative to how the funds are used to be able to fill in any gaps in this first year. Given the lack of snow this year, Commissioner Norton pointed out some of the expenses of implementing this plan will be reduced since the number of weeks of skiing will be greatly reduced. Mayor Mertensotto asked whether the Parks and Recreation Commission has authorized the expenditure of these funds from the Special Park Fund. Commissioner Norton noted the Commission did approve the funds coming out of the Special Park Fund. Mayor Mertensotto noted these funds have historically been used for park land acquisition and constructing park facilities with no other use allowed. Page No. 9 December 15, 1995 Mayor Mertensotto inquired as to the purchaser of the groomer. Mr. Gustafson explained the Sibley Athletic Department purchased the groomer and would now like to acquire a snowmobile for purposes of utilizing the groomer. He anticipates the snowmobile and groomer would be stored in a small building on the golf course. Mayor Mertensotto noted the ordinance does not permit the operation of snowmobiles in the city except in times of emergency and using a snowmobile on Par 3 would require special permission of the Council. Mayor Mertensotto asked who would oversee the program and be responsible for the scheduling of the trail. Mr. Gustafson stated he would take this responsibility for the school, however, with respect to the public use or the scheduling of meets, this would be handled through the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mayor Mertensotto stated he would not have a problem with the School District running this program. Mayor Mertensotto suggested the City offer $2,000 for the purchase of the snowmobile which would be under the jurisdiction and use of the School District on Par 3. In the event the program disbanded or the snowmobile is no longer Zn used, it would be returned to the City. With respect to grooming of the trail, Commissioner Norton explained Dakota County would be performing the grooming of the trail which would be billed on an hourly basis. It is anticipated the City would cover this expense. Mr. Gustafson noted it would take approximately half an hour to groom the trail. Councihnember Krebsbach asked whether the trail will be open to the public. Mr. Gustafson commented the school would be using the trail for half an hour per day. Councilmember Smith stated she is very supportive of this concept, but questioned how the trail would be groomed and what hours it would be open for use by the public. Page No. 10 December 15, 1998 Mr. Gustafson stated it will be necessary to establish a schedule of events for the trail which indicates when the school is using the trail and when it is open for public use. Councilmember Dwyer pointed out there are some underlying administrative costs which will be involved with monitoring the scheduling of this area. Councilmember Huber felt while there may be some initial scheduling in the fall, the schedule could be determined and posted in advance. Mr. Gustafson felt weekends would have the heaviest public use. Councilmember Krebsbach expressed concern there may be calls from the public wanting to use the trail and they have not been groomed for use. Mr. Gustafson stated he would be able to groom the trail after school. Councilmember Dwyer raised the issue of liability in the event someone is injured on the trail which is located on private property with involvement by the City and the School District. Mr. Gustafson explained the school requires a signed waiver. Councilmember Krebsbach suggested the first season be conducted the same as the high school season with this matter being revisited after one season to determine what kind of use the trail gets. The City's involvement would be limited to $2,000 for a snowmobile. Councilmember Huber suggested Mr. Bird and Mr. Gustafson meet with Mr. Hollister to discuss this matter and ensure there is an understanding relative to who will be responsible for the various aspects of this program. With respect to grooming, Mr. Gustafson stated the trail will be groomed by Dakota County and the school through the cross country season. He pointed out this is an ideal place for families and young children to learn to ski. Councilmember Krebsbach commented the City would be responsible for $2,000 in grooming fees to Dakota County as well as the $2,000 cost of the snowmobile. Mayor Page No. 11 December 15, 1998 Mertensotto stated the City's contribution would be $4,000 for the purchase of the snowmobile and grooming expense. Any excess funds can be used as the school deems appropriate for this program. He suggested there may be a senior citizen who would be interested in grooming the trail. Councilmember Dwyer expressed concern the surrounding home owners may be opposed to a snowmobile in this area. Councilmember Krebsbach suggested informing them a snowmobile will be in the area during specified periods of time for grooming purposes. Councilmember Dwyer suggested possibly a public hearing be held. Councilmember Huber suggested granting conditional approval for the season and then proceeding from that point with respect to future seasons with the speed and hours of operation of the snowmobile to be designated. Mr. Gustafson noted the grooming would be done between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m. Councilmember Huber moved, approving a $2,000 contribution to School District for the purchase of a snowmobile which will be returned to the City if the program is discontinued or ceases to exist, a $2,000 maximum contribution for grooming, use of the snowmobile will be limited to the Par 3 golf course to be operated between the hours of 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. Councilinember Smith seconded the motion. Councilmember Krebsbach stated the season will run concurrent with the high school cross country season. Mayor Mertensotto commented this disbursement will come from the 1998 General Fund. Councilmember Dwyer stated he would like any excess funds to be accounted for. Mayor Mertensotto stated the excess funds will remain with the School District, however, the City will want the School District to account for the expenditure of the funds. Mayor Mertensotto stated the Council will give the School District a waiver from the ordinance provision prohibiting Page No. 12 December 15, 1998 snowmobiling in the City to allow the use of the snowmobile on the Par 3 golf course between the hours of 12:00 noon and 5:00 p.m. for purposes of grooming the trail. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DISCUSSION NDC4 Council acknowledged the memo of City Administrator FRANCHISE RENEWAL Kevin Batchelder relative to the NDC4 Franchise Renewal AND JOINT POWERS and Joint Powers Agreement. AGREEMENT Jodie Miller, Executive Director, NDC 4, was in attendance. She pointed out the franchise agreement expires in 2000 and NDC4 has begun active work on the cable franchise renewal process with MediaOne. Over the next six months, NDC4 will complete several projects with its member cities to study and document the cable related future needs and requirements of the member cities as a basis for negotiations and drafting of a recommended cable franchise agreement for each city to consider. NDC4 requests that each city review the Joint Powers Agreement and consider whether any changes or revisions are desired to the agreement. Ms. Miller pointed out that effective June of 1999, the withdrawal provision of the agreement changes to allow any member city to withdraw on an annual basis by providing six months notice to the group. Some consideration has also been given to reviewing the issue of voting, noting at the present time, a weighted voting process is utilized. Various voting models will be reviewed and considered. Ms. Miller noted none of the seven cities involved in the Joint Powers Agreement have indicated they will be changing their status. Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern with seven cities involved in the Joint Powers Agreement, there is no incentive to negotiate with the cities. He stated Page No. 13 December 15, 1998 he would not want to enter into a franchise agreement in which the cities would not have some negotiation powers. Mayor Mertensotto asked what procedure is utilized to obtain user input. Ms. Miller explained a public hearing was held at the last Cable Commission meeting which was well attended by the public. The public may also call in live during the Cable Commission meetings and voice their opinions or concerns. A telephone survey was also completed with Decision Resources to gain public input. Announcements will continue to be placed in the newspapers and on the cable bulletin board channel. Mayor Mertensotto stated he is not in favor of the Decision Resources telephone surveys given the preconceived questions which are formulated. Ms. Miller stated some open ended questions were utilized as well. Mayor Mertensotto raised the issue of the converter boxes, indicating many residents are opposed to the boxes given the fact televisions can now be purchased cable ready. Ms. Miller related her belief there will be a continuing need for the converter boxes. Councilmember Huber noted there was some discussion at a previous meeting relative to working on this issue to find a way to eliminate the need for the boxes. Ms. Miller pointed out without the use of a converter box, a subscriber would be unable to purchase pay per view events and could not change their service via telephone. The converter boxes also allow the company to monitor, adjust and control the signal and the channels of an individual subscriber from the home office without the need for a technician to visit the property. Councilmember Huber noted the Council will review the Joint Powers Agreement and forward any questions, concerns or comments to Ms. Miller. CASE NO. 98 -40: Council acknowledged the memo of Administrative Assistant LLOYD'S BARBEQUE Patrick Hollister relative to the request of Lloyd's Barbeque, FRONT YARD SETBACK 1455 Mendota Heights Road, for a 38.5 foot front yard Page No. 14 December 15, 1995 VARIANCE setback variance for a building addition. Jack Goldbach and Todd Segal were in attendance on behalf of Lloyd's Barbeque to address this request. Mayor Mertensotto inquired how many employees are present on the property and whether there is sufficient parking. Mr. Goldbach noted there are approximately 300 employees with sufficient parking on the site. Mayor Mertensotto questioned whether the existing drainage will be altered. Mr. Goldbach explained there will be additional drainage on the site. Mayor Mertensotto noted the drainage plans will be subject to the approval of the City's Engineering Department. Councilmember Krebsbach noted a particular function needs to be contained in a particular area of the building which creates somewhat of a hardship since the owner may be forced to relocate if he cannot expand on this site as a result of property which was taken by MNDOT for the widening of Highway 13. Mr. Goldbach noted this separation is necessary and explained the process which is followed to ensure the cooked meat does not come into contact with the uncooked meat. The proposed plan will accommodate this necessary separation of the process. Councilmember Krebsbach moved adopting RESOLUTION NO. 95 -102 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING BUILDING PERMIT AUTHORIZATION AND A 35.5 FOOT FRONT YARD SETBACK VARIANCE FOR A BUILDING ADDITION FOR LLOYD'S BARBEQUE AT 1455 MENDOTA HEIGHTS ROAD subject to the submission of a drainage plan to the City Engineering Department for review and approval. Councilmember Huber seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 DISCUSS STREET LIGHT Council acknowledged the memo of Public Works Director OPTIONS AT VERONICA James Danielson relative to a request by residents for a LANE AND HUNTER street light at Veronica and Hunter. Councilmember Page No. 15 December 15, 1998 LANE Krebsbach requested an opportunity to discuss this matter with the neighbors who have requested the light prior to further Council consideration of this matter. PRE - APPLICATION CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS HOFFMAN HOMES TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT AT RESURRECTION CEMETERY Council acknowledged the memo of City Administrator Kevin Batchelder relative to a pre - application conference on a townhome development at Resurrection Cemetery by Hoffman Homes. Peter Coyle, Attorney, Larkin Hoffman Law Firm, was in attendance along with Pat Hoffman, Hoffman Townhome Development. Hoffman Homes presented the City with a plan to develop 44 townhomes on a 44 -acre site in the Augusta Shores area. These upscale townhomes would be served by a loop road cul -de -sac with access to TH 13. While this proposed development would not require a rezoning from the current R -1 zoning designation, it will be necessary to amend the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate this development. The existing Comprehensive Plan designation is cemetery. Mr. Coyle stated the Metropolitan Council has begun to work with the developer to address a pragmatic approach to this property. The primary issue for the developer is to try to mitigate noise which he hopes to manage through careful architecture and sound - proofmg. The Metropolitan Council has engaged a noise consultant to evaluate structural issues which the developer believes will lead the Metropolitan Council to modifying their building standards which are applied to buildings such as the one being proposed. Mayor Mertensotto requested Mr. Coyle document the arguments he has made to Metropolitan Council to be included in the City's records. Mr. Hoffman described his plans for the site. He noted the product has been upgraded and will range in price from $250,000 to in excess of $300,000. Mr. Hoffman noted while the first plan anticipated 66 units, the current plan provides for 44 units. Councilmember Krebsbach stated there is an indication residents are looking for high quality townhomes and the Page No. 16 December 15, 1998 City has been losing residents to areas such as Eagan and other areas. She felt this would be a good product for the City. Councilmember Smith felt this to be a good product. She noted her belief the traffic patterns and will be very effective with respect to sound attenuation. Councilmember Dwyer noted the difficultly comes in convincing the Metropolitan Council this area should be redirected to residential rather than cemetery. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out lowering the number of units has addressed the sensitivity which was previously expressed by the Council. He stated if the proposed plan is not changed, it would be favorable to the Council. Councilmember Krebsbach commented since the airport will not be moving, it will be in the City's best interests to have quality homes in this noise zone area. These homes will also reinforce the existing neighborhood so that property values in those areas will not be lost. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Huber expressed appreciation to Councilmember Smith for her eight years of service on the Council and wished her well. Councilmember Krebsbach noted her agreement with Councilmember Huber's comments and expressed best wishes to Councilmember Smith as well. Mayor Mertensotto stated he will miss Councilmember Smith's expertise with respect to the MASAC Committee as well as her diligent work on the Council. Councilmember Dwyer noted the City has been well served by Councilmember Smith and wished her well. Councilmember Smith reflected on her eight years of service on the Council and expressed her appreciation to both the Council and City Staff for their support. Page No. 17 December 15, 1998 Administrator Batchelder wished Councilmember Smith well on behalf of City Staff. He noted she will be recognized along with former Councilmember Koch at the first meeting in January for their service to the City of Mendota Heights. ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council, Councilmember Huber moved to adjourn the meeting. Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
