Adjournment CITY of ANDOVER SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL HEETING - JlU1e 29, 1976 The Special Heeting of the Andover City COlU1cil was called to order by Hajor Richard J. Schneider, on JlU1e 29,1976, at 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N. W., Anoka, Hinnesota, for the bond sale. COlU1cilpersons present: Holasek, Rither, VanderLaan, Winds chi t1 COlU1cilpersons absent: None Also present: City Attorney, William Hawkins; Financial Consultant, King Forness; City Clerk, P. K. Lindquist; and others Agenda Approval ~UTION by Rither seconded by VanderLaan, that the agenda be approved with the addition of Item 7, Clerk/Treasurer's salary. Carried lU1animously. Consultant Forness reviewed the interst rate and told the COlU1cil that the Citv did receive a BAA rating which he felt was quite good for the first time their City had a major bond sale. I The first bid was submitted by Piper, Jaffray & Hopwood, Inc.. The bid resulted in a net interest dollar cost of $1,420,566.80, net interest rate 6.8239. The second bid Las from First National Bank of St. Paul. The hid resulted in a net interest dOllar cost of $1,406,776.85, net interest rate 6.757. 'fr. Forness explained that he had not suggested that the $185,000 be sold locally because when you have a bond sale in the mill it is always a better and cheaper way to put the smaller amount with the bond issue. Local banks would probably only place $100,000 in a 90 day period which \~uld delay things. Banks that will take this type of issue do notl usually like to commit themselves for more than 10 years. ~Ir. Forness then briefly explained the resolution that is needed for the bond issue. ~UTION by Rithel , seconded by Holasek, for adoption of the resolution accepting and a¡varding bids, d fixing form of bonds and providing payment.

Page 2 Russell Addition Variance Attorney Hawkins explained that when land was acquired this side of the Rum, area know an Russell Addition, for Heets and BolU1ds subdivision, the question came up of whether the variance would hold up under Andover City Ordinance. He feels some research should be done before a determination can be made. He will follow through. No action necessary by the Council. Interim Ordinance Attorney IIawkins reviewed the Interim Ordinance and stated that the changes made on June 14, 1976 by the P & Z are still in effect in the proposed ordinance approved by the P & Z Commission. He gave the P & Z a model ordinance and when they reviewed it they left out (a) and (b) under Section 4 - Scope of Control. The P & Z Commission felt they were too restrictive and that (c) would be sufficient. They could not see the benefit this would be to the City of Andover. I ¡üfION by Windschitl, seconded by Holasek, (verbatim from tape) propose to be added into Section 4,' I guess it would be 4 (b) again and change Section 4 to (a), and (b) would read, No building or structure shall be constructed or erected nor shall any building permit be issued unless for construction on land which was a separate parcel of record at the time of the adoption of this Ordinance, the 28th day of JlU1e 1976 or was the subject of a written agreement to convey entered into prior to such time, or on a lot of ten acres or greater. 0~ill be changed to read the effective date of this Ordinance, which would be July 3, 1976) I Carried unanimously. mTION by Winds~hit1, no second, recommending approval of the P & Z proposed Ordinance No. 35 with the' above change.
