Adjournment ~ 01 ANDOVER M E M 0 RAN 0 U M TO: COPIES TO: ATTORNEY FROM: CITY CLERK DATE: OCTOBER 11 REFERENCE: AGENDA COMMENTS - OCTOBER 16 REGULAR MEETING Item No. 2 - Resident Forum We have had a request from some residents on Round Lake Boulevard to adopt a resolution asking the County to consider a speed limit change on this street. There will be a representative at the meeting. Item No. 3 - Aqenda Approval Please add Item No. 4h - Abatement/Dangerous Building and Item No. 5b- Feasibility Study/Temple-Howard Addition Improvements. Item No. 4 - Variance/B.Gusk Mr. Gusk is requesting a variance from the provisions of Ordinance 8U, covering building size vs lot size. He wishes to construct a 1440 sqft pole building on his property on 161st Avenue NW. The ordinance prohibits both the size and the metal building on a lot containing l-acre with a principal structure of 1,100 sq.ft. Planning and Zoning is recommending denial of the request, noting a hardship does not exist as defined by ordinance. A resolution will be prepared in accordance with the P&Z recommendation. J 4b - Amended Special Use Permit/Meadowcreek Baptist Church tern No. A request has been made by Meadowcreek Baptist Church to permit them to increase their enrollment over that allowed by the original and other amended permits. Inasmuch as the enrollment does impact the SAC and Sewer Connection Charges, I did suggest to them that they provide us with an enrollment break-down for each year and we can bill them accordingly. This procedure also saves the necessity of amending the permit each year. A resolution will be prepared for approval of up to 445 students by 1989 per the attached schedule. Item No. 4b - Lot Split/D. Kirchner Ms. Kirchner is requesting approval to subdivide her parcel into three individual lots under Ordinance No. 40. The City Council had conceptually approved such a division at the time of the assessment hearings for the sanitary sewer and water improvements on South Coon Creek Drive (West) . Planning and Zoning is recommending approval. A resolution will be prepared, indicating Agenda Comments October 16 Regular Meeting Page 2 Item No. 4b - Lot Split/D.Kirchner (continued) a park dedication fee of $200, i.e. , $100 for each newly created lot. The exceptions for lot width and area will be included in the resolution. Item No. 4d - Amended Special Use Permit/Wm. Rademacher Mr. Rademacher is requesting an amendment to his permit for the gas pumps at Bill's Superette to allow him to extend the island and change the pumps to those with electronic dispensers, as well as increase the number of dispensers on each pump. Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending approval of the request, subject to the required City and State inspections. A resolution will be prepared, noting the change will promote a better customer flow during busy hours. Item No. 4e - Variance/Kudson-Steinbrinq The property owners are requesting a variance to allow them to use the existing dwelling unit on the property as a temporary dwelling while a new unit is being constructed. Planninq and Zoning Commission is recommending approval. A resolution will be prepared requiring that the existing (temporary) dwelling unit shall be demolished and removed from the property within 120 days following issuance of the building permit for the new structure. You will note the p&Z is recommending demolition prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy; such action would leave the occupants without living quarters for a short period of time, therefore, the 120 days are more appropriate. Item No. 4f - Water Service/Good Value Homes, Inc. This item is continued from the October 2nd Meeting. Good Value is to bring in more concrete time frames for the development of the property in question. Item No. 4q - Warning Devices The City Council had requested the Building Inspector to research costs, availability, etc. of warning devices to be installed in various strategic locations in the City. He will have a report for you. Item No. 4h - Abatement/Danqerous Buildings The dwelling unit at 14003 Yukon Street was damaged during the July,1983, storm; since that time the property owner has been litigating the damage/payment with his insurance company. As a result repairs were not made on the dwelling. Approximately a month ago, a permit was given to allow the property owner to move the building out of the City so he could construct a new dwelling. The house was moved off the basement, however, because of problems between the property owner and the Movers, the house is still on the property and the foundation/ basement from which it was moved is now an open excavation. The structure as it now sits presents a danger, therefore, abatement is requested. A motion is needed to proceed with filing of the notice. Agenda Comments October 16 Regular Meeting Page 3 Item No. 5a - Award Contract/MSA84-8 Attached is a resolution awarding the Contract to Forest Lake Contracting. for the MSA street construction of South Coon Creek Drive West. This is $31,566 below the Engineer's Estimate. Item No. 5h - Adequacy of Petition/Feasibility Study-Temp ie-Howard Addn. The developers are requesting the improvement of sanitary sewer and streets for their propOsed addition. The Plat has been tentatively recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission and will be to the Council for action at the next meeting. They are anxious to proceed; the plans are such that the Engineers can prepare the Feasibility Study as soon as authorization and deposit are received. Item No. 5c - Approve JUdqes/General Election Enclosed is the current listing of Judges for the General Election. There have been some changes since the approval in August. A motion is needed to adopt this resolution. Item No. 5d - Set Date/November Meetinq The Regular Meeting date will have to be changed as a result of the Election on November 6. The Council will have to canvas the City Election, therefore, I would recommend setting the date of the Regular Meeting for the 8th, allowing both to be done at the same time. Item No. 5e - Appointment/Park & Recreation Commission Enclosed is a resume from Marcellus McMullen for appointment to the Park & Recreation Commission. Mr. McMullen has attended at least one of the Commission Meetings. The Commission is presently short three Commissioners. We have advertised on three different occasions, however, the reponse has not been good. This would be for a term to expire on December 31, 1986. Item No. 5f - Authorization/Equipment Purchases Because of price increases and long delivery schedules, the City Engineer is requesting authorization to receive quotations on the Engineering Department car and the accessories for the Toto. Both the car and the Toro equipment have been approved for the 1985 Budget, therefore, the billing/payment for this would not be made until 1985. Item No. 6a - Fire Department Time constraints have not allowed the Fire Department time to have a meeting to vote on the suspension/termination issue of the three firefighters discussed at previous meetings; therefore, this will be handled by the Council at the first Regular Meeting in November. The Fire Chief has other administrative items to discuss with the Council. One item in particular is a policy for the charging of Agenda Comments October 16 Regular Meeting Page 3 Item No. 6a - Fire Department (continued) services to outside agencies, i.e., Burlington-Northern. Item No. 7 - Approval of Minutes September 13, September 18, October 4, 1984. Enclosures ~ 01 ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - OCTOBER 16, 1984 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City Council was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on October 16, 1984, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Anoka, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Elling, Knight, Lachinski (arrived at 7:33 p.m.) Councilman absent: Orttel Also present: City Attorney, William G. Hawkins; City Engineer, James Schrantz; City Clerk/A. Administrator, P. K. Lindquist; and others AGENDA APPROVAL The following additions to the Agenda were recommended: Item 4i, Tire Tech and Item 4j, Grant Possibilities/Water System. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, the Agenda be approved as amended. Motion carr1ed on a 3 Yes, l-Absent (Lachinski) vote. VARIANCE - B. GUSK Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Don Spotts reviewed the Commission's recommendation to deny the Barry Gusk request for variance to construct a storage building on a parcel of land less than three acres in size. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we deny the variance request to construct a structure by Mr. Gusk at 2149 161st Avenue NW for the reasons as stated by the Planning and Zoning Commission's letter. (See Resolution R108-84) Motion carried on a 4-Yes vote. LOT SPLIT - D. KIRCHNER P & Z Chairman Spotts reviewed the Commission's recommendation to approve a lot split request by Diane Kirchner. He noted a variance would be required from Ordinance 40B because three lots are being created by the split, and the lot width in Lot C is less than the minimum requirement because of the setback requirement off Round Lake Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, for Tract B. Diane Kirchner - stated a 50-foot setback from the right of way line is required off Round Lake Boulevard, and that lot cannot exit onto Round Lake Boulevard. She asked why that much setback is needed, noting it would not have been required if the lots were split off before the road was widened. She felt it should be 50 feet from the existing road. Council discussion with Ms. Kirchner, Chairman Spotts and the Building Inspector was on the setback requirements and the best solution to the situation. It was noted the house on Tract B could face Round Lake Boulevard even though it must exit onto South Coon Creek Drive, that the right of way for Round Lake Boulevard has been already taken and this would have the effect of adding another 50 feet onto that, and that Tract C would be so small it would severely limit what could be constructed on it. Council agreed to reduce the setback on Tract B to 40 feet from Round Lake Boulevard right of way or to line up with Ms. Kirchner's existing house artd to enlarge Tract C to a width of 77.81 feet. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we approve the Lot Split of Diane Kirchner granting a variance from Ordinance 40B allowing for it to be split into three parcels instead of two, and Tract B as shown on the attached sketch to be 90 feet and Tract C to be 77;81 feet width or frontage facing Soùth Coon Creek Drive, with 40-foot setback from Round Lake Bouelvard right of way line on Tract B. (See Res. R109-84) Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 1984 - Minutes Page 2 RESIDENT FORUM - ROUND LAKE BOULEVARD SPEED LIMITS Bonnie Francis, 14260 Round Lake Boulevard - was concerned about the traffic problem on Round Lake Boulevard. Many new homes are being constructed, two new shopping centers are going up, they have had very little law enforcement in the City, and children go to Bill's Superette regularly, which she felt is a very dangerous situation. She requested the City do something to reduce the speed limit to 35 mph. John Lawrence, 14516 Round Lake Boulevard - also expressed his concern for the safety of Chl Jdren and dr1vers 1n that area, stating they want to prevent accidents before they happen, not after the fact. He reported several incidents of high speed traffic through their area, the danger of pulling out of their driveways, and the lack of results he has had on this problem in talking with the City Attorney and other County officials even when he has the license ~Tatenumbers of the offenders. He too requested lowering the speed limit to 30 or 35 mph, especially because of their children, joggers, cyclists, etc. Wayne Ness, 14268 Round Lake Boulevard - realized it would take some time for the speed llmits to be reduced and asked that 1n the mean time there be a stricter enforcement of the speed limits. Council agreed there is a problem in that area and suggested the Sheriff's Department be asked to do their saturation patrols with radar through that area. Mayor Windschitl briefly reviewed the procedure required to have the speed limit reduced. A Deputy in the audience stated he would talk to his superiors about setting up traffic control in that area for awhile. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that the City Council send a Resolution to the State requesting that the speed limit be changed to 30 mph from South Coon Creek Drive south to the City limits, and also send a copy of that Resolution to the County. (See Resolution RllO~84) Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Francis- asked if it would be possible to have separate bicycle paths constructed 1n the rlght of way of Round Lake Boulevard. Mr. Schrantz didn't know but stated he would ask the County about that. Tom McClusky, 14545 Round Lake Boulevard - asked when the study is done that attention lS paid to the volume of traffic on that road and potential traffic as development occurs to the north. AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT - WM. RADEMACHER/BILL'S SUPERETTE Chairman Spotts reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the request for an Amended Special Use Permit by William Rademacher to add eight gas nozzles and extend the gas pump islands six feet on each end at Bill's Superette. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution approving the Amended Special Use Permit of William Rademacher to install additional pumps and increase the island dimensions of the gasoline service facility at Bill's Superette. (See Resolution Rlll-84) Motion carried unanimously. VARIANCE/KNUDSON/STEINBRING Chairman Spotts reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve a variance requested by Betty Knudson and Jean Steinbring to construct a new home on property already having a principal structure subject to the existing home being demolished within 120 days following the issuance of the building permit. Jean Steinbrinq, 3155 175th Avenue - stated the old building will definitely be demolished as soon as possible. Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 1984 - Minutes Page 3 (Variance/Knudson/Steinbring, Continued) MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution approving a var1ance request from the provisions of Ordinance No.8, Section 4.04 (B) to allow the construction of a new dwelling unit on a parcel already having an existing unit as such, requested by Betty Knudson and Jean Steinbring. (See Resolution Rl12-84) Motion carried unanimously. WATER SERVICE - GOOD VALUE HOMES, INC. Mayor Windschitl suggested tabling this item for two weeks. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, to so move. Motion carried unanimously. WARNING DEVICES Mayor Windschitl explained the Building Inspector is having a representative come out to one of the November meetings to discuss the overall warning program. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to table the item. Motion carried unanimously. GRANT POSSIBILITIES/WATER SYSTEM Councilman Elling stated he has been in contact with the State Health Uepartment and the Department of Economic Development regarding policies for federal grant monies given to the State for their distribution. Each city is allowed $700,OOO/year with a $1.4 million maximum. The Minnesota Health Department sets the priorities for that money, and they have assured Councilman Elling that Andover's situation with the well advisory area would put the city as one of the top contenders for those grant monies toward a municipal water system. There are approximately 200 applications for these funds each year; aod about 50 applicants, one out of four, are approved each year. The application for these grants must be received no later than February, with the decision being made around May 1. Councilman Elling felt Andover had a good chance of receiving those graòt monies. He also stated there are three other sources of funds that he has not yet been able to contact. Council was very agreeable to making application for those grant monies and agreed to discuss the application with John Davidson of TKDA when he is at the next Council meeting. CONTRACT AWARD - MSA84-8 (SOUTH COON CREEK DRIVE - WEST) MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution accepting bids and awarding contract for the Improvement of Project 84-8 for street construction in the area of South Goon Creek Drive West (Awarded to Forest Lake Contracting for $118,434). (See Resolution Rl13-84) Motion carried unanimously. ADEQUACY OF PETITION/FEASIBILITY STUDY - TEMPEL-HOWARD ADDITION MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Knight, introducing a Resolution declaring adequacy of pet1tion and directing preparation of a feasibility report for the improvement of sanitary sewer and street construction with concrete curb and gutter, Project' No. 84-12, in the Tempel-Howard Addition area (See Resolution Rl14-84) Motion carried unanimously. AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT - MEADOW CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH Chairman Spotts reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve the Amended Special Use Permit request by Meadow Creek Baptist Church to allow them to increase the enrollment in their K-12 school. Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 19S4 - Minutes Page 4 (Amended Special Use Permit - Meadow Creek Baptist Church, Continued) MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, a Resolution as prepared approving an Amended Special Use Permit to provide for the enrollment of additional students at Meadow Creek Baptist Church. DISCUSSION: Grady Kinghorn, Church President - stated the total enrollment size will be about 700 students, with two classes of each grade. They initially plan to construct the building now because the funds are available; and they would like to add one class per year, so it will take awhile to fill the building. The Clerk explained the sewer availability charge would depend on the enrollment. Council felt the Resolution should be clarified on that point. Councilman Knight CLARIFIED the Resolution: Last paragraph to read: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such approvaJ shall be contingent upon the applicant remitting to the City the required SAC and Sewer Unit Connection Charge for additional students as the enrollment increases. Second Stands. (See Resolution RllS-84) Motion carried unan imous ly. APPROVE JUDGES - GENERAL ELECTION MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, introducing the Resolution for the list of election judges as presented. (See Resolution Rl16-84) Motion carried unanimously. SET DATE - NOVEMBER MEETING MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we move the Regular November 6 meeting to November S due to the election. Motion carried unanimously. APPOINTMENT - PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, the appointment of Marcellus McMullen to the Park Commission which expires 12-31-86. Motion carried unanimously. Attorney Hawkins explained the reason the work is not being done on the park on 138th is because the land acquisition has gotten complicatedC primarily because the individuals who consented to convey the park don't have an unencumbered interest in the land. So it is taking more time than originally anticipated to get all the releases signed. If any of the parties do not sign the release, the City does ha¥e the right to obtain the land through eminent domain procedures. The Clerk stated there is no problem with holding the grant monies for this park. All the equipment has been purchased and is being stored in the Public Works building. ANDOVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT Acting Fire Chief Bob Palmer requested permission to advertise for the sale of the old Chief's vehicle, as they have found the frame is too light to convert it into a tanker. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we allow the Fire Department to put an ad in the paper to dispose of the old Chief's Fire Vehicle. Motion carried unanimously. Acting Chief Palmer presented some specific figures to be approved for billing the railroad when the Department has a call along the tracks. In the past the figures were based on what the DNR suggested, but those figures are no longer avai¡lable. The amounts are approximately what it costs the Department to respond to a call. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize the Fire Department to charge Burl1ngton Northern Railroad the proposed hourly rates as set forth by the Acting Chief. Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 1984 - Minutes Page 5 AUTHORIZATION - EQUIPMENT PURCHASES Mr. Schrantz stated he would set some specs for the car. He asked if the Council would object to a 1984 car if it is new, the thought being such a vehicle may be less costly. Council had no objections as long as the vehicle is new. M,r. Schrantz, 'a 1 so stated'he,would like to get the Toroin December to clear the rinks but be billed for it in 1985. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, authorizing the City Engineer to receive quotations on an Engineering Department car and accessories for the, Toro equipment as proposed. Motion carried unanimously. ABATEMENT - DANGEROUS BUILDING Mayor Windschitl reviewed the situation with the dwelling unit at 14003 Yukon Street that was damaged during the July, 1983, storm. It was never repaired because of litigation with the insurance company. Approximately a month ago, a permit was given to allow the building to be moved out of town. The house was moved off the basement; however, because of problems between the property owner and the movers, the house is still on the property on dollies and the basement is now an open excavation. The structure as it now sits is a danger, the basement is an open hazard, and it is an eyesore to the neighborhood. There was a fence around it but it was down. Acting Chief Palmer - stated the fence around the basement is still down. Btll Leach, 2530 140th Avenue - lives right across the street from the Sigfrid property. He stated any discuss10n of allowing Mr. Sigfrid to negotiate this further is of great concern to him and his neighbors. They have allowed him over 15 months to negotiate with the insurance company, attornies, courts, movers, etc., and nothing gets done. Ihey have also heard promises of action during that 15 months, but nothing happens. He stated it is worse now than when the tornado hit it. He strongly urged the Council to authorize the City Attorney to file in court immediately to provide Mr. Sigfrid a reason for solving the problem. Also, the fence that was constructed was juryrigged at best, and it is down. It is not safe. The basement is filled with debris, with the problem being exasperated because of the recent rains. They would like a permanent fence put up. Mr. Leach stated there is another issue of the debris that Mr. Sigfrid piled in the back of his proeprty after the storm that could be a health hazard and is an eyesore. He also suggested Mr. Sigfrid be denied a building permit on that foundation until that debris is cleaned up in the back as well. Barry Swinqle, 2547 140th Lane - felt that will be a prime target for vandalism in the next couple weeks because of Halloween coming up, which could present a very dangerous situation. Earl Sigfrid - stated he is trying to sell the house, and two people are considering it now. But before they can purchase'i~, they need to get permission from the city in which they want to place it. One is to locate it on 20 acres in Andover. The other person would put it in Oak Grove. He thought he could get that house moved out of there onto a mover's yard, but it will , cost him a lot of money. He stated the reason the house is just sitting on the lot now isn't all his fault. He's anxious to get the house out of there and to rebuild a house on the existing foundation. But until he sells it, he doesn't know what else to do. Ernst Movers are charging rent on the rigging underneath the house now. There is still a mortgage ,on that property. The 'prob lems with the insurance company have all been settled. Council expressed their concern over the problems of fencing the property, cleaning up the debris on the lot, and removing the houseifrom the lot. Attorney Hawkins reviewed the abatement procedure. Dave Almgren, Building Inspector - testified that he has inspected the property and found an open excavation with the house off the basement, which constitutes a hazard. The bUilding is set up on house movers dollies and is not secured in any way, which Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 19S4 - Minutes Page 6 (Abatement - Dangerous Building, Continued) also constitutes a hazard. Therefore, under the Uniform Building Code for abatement of dangerous buildings, he declared that building on site a hazard. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by Elling, introducing a Resolution declaring the property at 14003 Yukon Street to be a hazardous situation and that the building has been removed from the foundation and is not safely enclosed, and direct the City Attorney to begin abatement procedures for removing the building and have the hazard removed. DISCUSSION: Attorney Hawkins stated if the debris is a part of the material from the building, the City may have the right to require it to be cleaned up. Motion carried unanimously. Attorney Hawkins informed Mr. Sigfrid that he will draft an order based on the Council's action that will be filed in District Court, and Mr. Sigfrid will have 20 days under the statute to abate the excavation and remove the building and other hazards on the property. If Mr. Sigfrid does not do that, then he will ask the District Court to allow the City to go on the property to fill the excavation and remove the building, with all costs charged back to the property. Mr. Sigfrid - stated he hoped to resolve the problem in that 20 days. Regarding the debrls, he was waiting to begin construction of the new dwelling and put in some dumpsters to clean it up. But he can get that debris removed before that, stating he will get it cleaned up by at least the middle of next week. Council recessed at 8:50; reconvened at 9:13 p.m. TIRE TECH Darrel Chapman, Minnesota Rec¥cling - reviewed his October 16, 1984, letter to the City on the issues of a second shi t to 12:00 midnight, Monday through Fridays, and the transition of the firm to Cecil and Pat Heidelberger, Paul Schneider, and himself. They are meeting with City and County officials tomorrow afteroon on the second issue. Councilman Elling asked about the status of their license with the County. Mr. Chapman stated both cases relate to the transfer of a bond that Schriptek had originally provided. In the transition between Schriptek and North American Tire Tech, the bond was transferred, but a signature by a NATT official to allow that transfer was needed. Plus a power of attorney was needed from the woman who signed the bond for the insurance company because she wasn't the same one who signed the bond initially. It is in the process of being taken care of; and he has been meeting with Colleen Herman, the County Attorney, and others to get this matter resolved. The bond is in effect, has been paid for, but the two signatures are needed. Councilman Elling understood from the County that it is a legal question as to whether or not the license is valid. The Clerk asked if they received a notice of cancellation on their insurance. Mr. Chapman - stated NATT cancelled their insurance upon transition as of October 18. They are meeting with local insurance agents to get their insurance. If they don't have insurance, they will have to shut down; but he felt they would be covered. Councilman Elling stated in talking with Bob Hutchinson at the County, they are of the opinion that these things would be completed any day, but that was three weeks ago. He felt that all of these matters should be taken care of prior to the City taking any action on the request for another shift. Councilman Lachinski disagreed, thinking it is up to the County to shut down the business if all items are not met, that there seems to be an honest attempt to get everything in order, and they are only asking for an extension of hours in the light that they continue when they have a bonified approved operation. Regular City Council Meeting October 16, 1984 - Minutes Page 7 (Tire Tech, Continued) Mayor Windschitl suggested the Council and County officials meet at the City Hall tomorrow evening to discuss the operation with Mr. Chapman, Cecil and Pat Heidelberger and Paul Schneider as to their purchase of NATT's operation in Andover, the requirements of the license, etc. Mr. Chapman stated their meeting was at 5:30 at Greenhaven, but he would be able to atteBd~a: o'clock meeting at the City Hall if all the other parties were available at that time as well. For now they would like the second shift to begin immediately and hopefully be able to have that shift continuously. Councilman Lachinski didn't feel it would be a problem, but preferred to see the extended hours reviewed or modified as needed on an annual basis. He suggested allowing that second shift until the deadline on the last amendment to the license, January 17, 1985. He had no problem delaying the decision on the second shift until tomorrow but did not want to have it linger on for several weeks. Mr. Chapman - stated all tires recycled during the second shift would come from the p1le on slte, which would improve the ratio of old to new tires being shredded. Council generally agreed that before action was taken on the request for a second shift, all outstanding items should be taken care of regarding the licensing of the operation. Council generally agreed to meet with Anoka County officials and representatives of Minnesota Recycling, Inc., at a special meeting tomorrow evening, October 17, 7 o'clock p.m., assuming the other parties are able to be present. If not, the Council was urged to attend the meeting Wh1Ch has already been set at Greenhaven in Anoka at 5:30. The Council then agreed to take action on the request for a second shift following tomorrow's meeting. Councilman Lachinski asked who the tires along Bob's Auto Parts belong to. Mr. Chapman stated he didn't know but they have been hauling tires out of that area. He asked Councilman Lachinski to stop by to show him specifically which ones should be removed. Councilman Lachinski agreed. Mr. Chapman - asked if he COUld then get authorization to run a second shift tomorrow night, pending additional action for additional hours at tomorrow evening's meeting. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Lachinski, that we allow two shifts tomorrow (for Mlnnesota Recycling, Inc.) pending a final decision to be made tomorrow night. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Lachinski, Seconded by tlling, that we call a special meeting tomorrow night at 7 p.m. for the purpose of discussing the North American Tire Tech relicensing and change of ownership. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Chapman - then reviewed what has taken place regarding the formation of Minnesota Recycl1ng, Inc., and their option to purchase NATT's equipment at their operation in Andover. They have until the first week in February to execute that option. Their intent is to continue the current operation as a metro area waste tire recycling facility and to increase its current rate of production to meet the contract of 24,000 tons of recycled waste fuel use materials to Owens-Illinois Paper Company in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. It is their feeling that as a local company, they would be serving and utilizing services of local businesses, and that the business could be run successfully because of lower overhead costs, especially with Cecil Heidelberger being a principal in the company. The four individuals owning Minnesota Recycling, Inc., each would have a 25 percent ownership in the business, and there will be a fifth individual on the Board of Uirectors, either an attorney or accountant, to act as a tie breaker if needed. Between now and the closing, they are operating the business tor Nòrth American Tire Tech. As of now they have no guarantee that they will have the capital to exercise that option. Regular City Council Meeting October 16. 1984 - Minutes Page 8 (Tire Tech, Continued) Councilman Elling asked about the hazardous waste problem in that area. Mr. Chapman stated the original generators have hired Pace Laboratories, and they are prepar1ng to remove all drums that are on site as they are located. Neither Pace nor Mr. Heidelberger have committed any funds for the cleanup of any soils contamination. This item will be discussed again on October 17. APPROVAL OF CLAIMS MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we approve Checks 8471 through 8537 for a total sum of $132,207.32. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, \'Y\ ~ ~:~L Ma~la A. Peach Recordlng Secretary
