HOLD PUBLIC HEARING/ORDER PLANS & SPECS121-1712021 MILL & OVERLAY/SE CORNER OF CITY The City Council is requested to hold a public hearing and order plans and specifications for Project 21-17, 2021 Mill & Overlay/SE Corner of City. Public Works Director/City Engineer Berkowitz identified the location of the project and displayed it on a map. He explained the improvements consist of milling the top inch of © bituminous, inspecting gate valves, replacing, and repairing sections of curb as needed, and replacing pedestrian ramps if they do not meet ADA requirements. The final step is to lay down 1.5 inches of black top. Mr. Berkowitz stated the estimated project cost is $2,851,000 with the City covering 75% of the costs and the remainder covered by assessments at an average of $750 per lot. Mr. Berkowitz displayed photos of the existing road conditions and examples of what it will look like when completed. He presented a project schedule starting in March and completing in late summer. Mr. Berkowitz detailed the assessment process and options for payment. Councilmember Butler asked Mr. Berkowitz to talk about how long the 25% assessment policy has been in place. Mr. Dickinson replied it has been in place over 20 years. He stated it was first used for street reconstruction, and mill and overlay projects were added 15 years ago. Mayor Bukkila asked Mr. Berkowitz to explain why the City has decided to have a mill and overlay program instead of a full street reconstruction. Mr. Berkowitz stated the Council has identified the concern from the public about the road conditions in Andover. He stated more funds were allocated to a large mill and overlay project in 2021, allowing the City to catch up on street maintenance, and then the City would select one area for an overlay per year thereafter. Mr. Berkowitz stated the roadway is analyzed for surface and underlying wear. He stated if there are large amounts of cracking, the road is no longer a candidate for a mill and overlay. Mayor Bukkila asked Mr. Berkowitz to explain which roads would have a mill and overlay. Mr. Berkowitz replied roads that are "alligator cracked" are beyond the condition for a mill Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 19, 2021 © Page 4 and overlay and require a full reconstruction. Mayor Bukkila stated the assessment for a full reconstruction in the rural area could be around $2,000-$2,500 per lot and by performing a mill and overlay, the assessment is $750 and extends the life of the road. Mr. Berkowitz stated a full reconstruction in the rural area would be $3,000-$4,000 per unit and as high as $6,000410,000 depending on the size of the lot. He said the mill and overlay will extend the life of the road 10-15 years. Mayor Bukkila stated by using this process, it reduces the tax burden on the property owner (25% assessment) and reduces the tax burden on all residents of Andover (75% budgeted amount).

Mr. Dickinson outlined the chronology of the events and written in the staff report. Mr. Dickinson stated the dog attacked his owner unprovoked requiring the owner to be transported to the hospital. Mr. Dickinson explained the dog had bitten his owner three previous times. Mr. Dickinson stated the dog was quarantined at the North Metro Animal Care and Control and was reported to have "fear aggression" and it is unusual for a dog to attack its owner. OMotion by Holthus, Seconded by Butler, to open the public hearing at 7:39 p.m. Motion taken by roll call: Councilmember Barthel - aye Councilmember Butler - aye Councilmember Holthus - aye Councilmember Nelson - aye Mayor Bukkila - aye Motion carried unanimously.

Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 19, 2021 © Page 8 City Attorney Baumgartner asked to question the residents who testified during the public hearing. Mr. Baumgartner asked the residents how many of them knew the dog attacked Mr. Spiegelberg three separate times prior to this incident. Mr. Baumgartner asked how many of them thought the dog should have had training at that time. Mayor Bukkila stated no one responded that they knew the dog attacked the owner previously and one raised their hand that they thought the dog should be trained. Councilmember Barthel stated he would like to separate nuisance dog from dangerous dog and treat them separately. Mr. Dickinson replied they are separate resolutions. Councilmember Barthel stated Council has the duty to protect all residents of the community. He stated he believes Petey is a dangerous dog. Councilmember Barthel stated the dog owner can take steps to remove the classification from the dog, but it takes time, training, and money. He said he appreciates all the people who spoke but the dog bit unprovoked and sent someone to the hospital. Councilmember Holthus quoted the police report "Tate stated that after every incident, Michael states he is going to get rid of the dog but never follows through with it. Nothing changes and the dog continues with the same behavior". Councilmember Holthus stated she is worried that no matter what the Council does, the dog is going to continue with its same behavior. She stated personally she is worried about having this dog out there if he has bitten his owner 4 times already. She stated the owner knows it is not appropriate, has thought of getting rid of the dog, and the dog continues the same behavior. Councilmember Holthus stated it is clear it is a dangerous dog and potentially a nuisance dog. Councilmember Nelson stated the costs are extensive for a dangerous dog and asked if the owner can commit to it. Michael Spiegelberg, 2623 138' Avenue, said Petey was scheduled to be neutered but COVID delayed it. Mr. Spiegelberg stated if the dog was fixed, he would not be so aggressive. Councilmember Butler stated the Council has a duty to protect the community and it is hard because everyone loves their pets. Councilmember Butler said that after reading the police report he is concerned about the community, the neighbors, and Mr. Spiegelberg. He stated he will be supporting a dangerous dog declaration tonight. Mayor Bukkila stated the police report is included with the dangerous dog resolution. She stated Heather and Tate witnessed the attack and they were not able to stop the attack. Mayor Bukkila stated the injuries to Mr. Spiegelberg were serious which were described as cuts from a knife. She stated the information in the report and the testimony given tonight are © contradictory. Mayor Bukkila stated she has been on the Council for 12 years and this is one of the most severe cases she has seen. She stated it is concerning that people in the household do not recognize the level of risk to everyone in the home. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —January 19, 2021 © Page 9 Mayor Bukkila stated it only takes one incident to declare a dog potentially dangerous. She said there are 4 instances where the adults have failed to respond to the needs of the household and the dog. She stated being a responsible dog owner is recognizing something should be altered for the care and management of the dog after the first incident. Mayor Bukkila stated she supports the resolution declaring Petey a dangerous dog. Motion by Barthel, Seconded by Butler, to adopt Resolution No. RO11-21 declaring a dog owned by Michael Spiegelberg, 2623 138`h Avenue NW, Andover, MN 55304 as a Dangerous Dog pursuant to City Code Title 5, Chapter 1, Section 5-lA-8. Mr. Baumgartner stated the resolution includes the destruction of the dog and wanted Council to understand they were taking action on both a dangerous dog and abatement. Councilmember Barthel amended his motion to strike the phrase "and require its destruction to Minnesota Statute 347.56". Councilmember Barthel stated he would like the destruction of the animal and declaring the dog dangerous as separate items. Mr. Baumgartner stated it is not common where a dangerous dog declaration and a nuisance dog are placed together. He stated declaring the dog dangerous provides tools to microchip and requires an insurance policy. He said a nuisance dog does not carry the same weight. Councilmember Butler stated if this was reported earlier and the dog declared a potentially dangerous dog after the first attack, followed by dangerous dog designation after the second attack, he asked what the Council would have done after the third and fourth attacks. Councilmember Butler stated he is concerned about the precedence it sets by the fact the attacks were not brought forward. Councilmember Barthel stated he is leaning towards not abating because the four bites have been on the owner. He said if one of the bites were on another individual, he would have no problem abating. Mr. Baumgartner asked Council if they wanted to put criteria on returning the dog to the owner and if so, what is the timeframe the Council wants to set. Mr. Baumgartner asked who covers the cost of boarding the dog until it is returned to the owner. Councilmember Nelson stated if the dog is not abated, how is Council going to enforce the dangerous dog follow through. He stated he would like further conversation. Mayor Bukkila stated typically dog on dog bites are what comes before Council, not dog on human. She stated Statute does not separate them, but she does. She values human life and the © amount of substantial injury the owner received unprovoked. Heather Sankey, 2623 138`h Avenue NW, came forward and said the dog is afraid of bath time. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —January 19, 2021 Page 10 She said the only one who can give Petey a shower is Tate. She stated Mr. Spiegelberg was going into the shower and took off his shirt. She said Petey got mad and attacked. Mr. Baumgartner read from the police report Ms. Sankey's comment "Michael had just taken a shower and was walking out of the bathroom when their dog attacked. The attack was completely unprovoked." He stated that is contrary to what Ms. Sankey just said. Ms. Sankey replied the real answer sounds bizarre. Mr. Baumgartner asked why she made the statement to the police. Ms. Sankey said it was adrenaline. She said she was able to pull Petey off of Mr. Spiegelberg but did scream for her kids. She said it was scary and she will always yell for help if she needs it, but she did not need it. Mayor Bukkila read a passage from the police report: "Sankey stated that Michael had just taken a shower and was walking out of the bathroom when their dog attacked him; the attack was completely unprovoked. Sankey was unable to stop the attack, so she screamed for help. Her two sons, one of them being Tate Spiegelberg, assisted by getting the dog off Michael and containing it in a bedroom... Michael's wounds were covered with bandages, so pictures were not taken. Per Andover Rescue, Michael had a large laceration on each wrist and multiple fingers on both hands were bitten. Sankey stated the wounds looked like cuts from a knife." © Motion taken by roll call: Councilmember Barthel - nay Councilmember Butler - aye Councilmember Holthus - aye Councilmember Nelson - aye Mayor Bukkila - aye Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 nay (Barthel). Councilmember Butler asked if the Council still needed to address the nuisance issue. Mr. Baumgartner recommended the Council goes through the nuisance process to be complete.

She stated the dog will not be returned to the owner. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — January 19, 2021 © Page I Natalie Leach asked if Tate could be present when the dog is euthanized. Mayor Bukkila asked staff to discuss it with animal control and get in touch with the owner. COVID 19 UPDATE City Administrator Dickinson updated the Council on the primary changes to the COVID-19 response since the last meeting. He stated the Governor's Executive Order is in effect until the end of January. He said staff has been working on the audit of the CARES dollars.
