Adjournment CITY of ANDOVER REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - AUGUST 18, 1987 - MINUTES The Regularly Scheduled Andover City Council meeting was called to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl at 7:32 P.~I. , Tuesday, August 18, 1987 at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N.W., Andover, MN. Councilmembers Present: Apel, Elling, Knight, Orttel Councilmembers Absent: None Also Present: City Administrator, Jim Schrantz; City Planner, Daryl /.Jorey; Assistant City Engineer, Todd Haas; Planning Commission Chairman, Marge Perry; John Davidson, TKDA; John Rodeberg, TKDA; City Attorney, William Hawkins; City Building Official, Dave Almgren; others Resident Forum William Murphy, 3260 - 160th Lane N.W. - explained that he wants to do some work on squad cars for the Fridley Police Department in his garage and his was told that the ordinance does not allow this. The work would take two to three weeks and he asked the Council if he could get a variance. This item was added to the agenda for discussion. Tom Gonier, 3020 - 164th Lane N.W. - expressed dissatisfaction with the work that remains undone on 164th Lane. He noted that the black dirt that was put down consisted of a man shoveling it out of a truck onto the shoulders. The black dirt is contaminated and was taken from a sod farm without the owner's permission. He also thought that they would be getting sod instead of seed. Mayor Windschitl stated that seed is normally used because sod is so expensive. Mr. Schrantz noted that there have been some problems getting this contractor back to finish the work. Jim Perra stated that the city is treating this like a rural area. He said that he had sod and he expects it to be replaced with like kind. The area has been in the same condition since last fall. /.Jr. Perra wants his property to look as good as it did the day they started the project. Mr. Gonier informed the Council that there is talk of filing a class action suit. MOTION by Knight, seconded by Elling to direct staff and the engineer to start the process against the bonding company. Motion carried. Todd Haas was directed to check if the area was promised sod. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (Resident Forum, Cont. ) John Hoglund, 370 Andover Boulevard N.W. - asked what the intent of Ordinance 8X is, which says that a person has one year to finish the exterior of their home. Mayor Windschitl stated that it is so anyone building a house has it completed within one year so that we don't have neighbors coming in to complain. If we didn't have a completion date in the ordinance, it could take ten years for someone to finish their house. Mr. Hoglund noted that his problem is that his garage is not completed. Councilman Elling asked Mr. Hoglund when he started his house. Mr. Hoglund noted that he started building his house in 1983. The only things left to be done are a final plumbing, final electrical and final inspection. Dave Almgren, City Building Official explained that we are set to go to court on this on September 1, 1987. Mayor Windschitl stated that if there is a trial coming up, it's not proper for Council to discuss this. Mr. Hoglund stated that he didn't think this ordinance is constitutional. Bob Dillon - noted that the problem on 159th Avenue is getting better. He asked what ammunition they'll have if the problem reoccurs. He has seen very little activity in the area and even the three-wheelers have settled down. He stated that the activity died the night of the Council meeting. Agenda Approval The following additions to the agenda were suggested: 6.f. , Slyzuk Ditch Agreement; 6.g.. Murphy Home Occupation; 6h, Closed meeting with Attorney; and discussion on the waste disposal site. MOTION by Elling, seconded by Knight to approve the agenda as amended. Motion carried. Public Hearinq/87-10 and 87-11 Mayor Windschitl noted that this will not affect the costs the residents were previously quoted. This hearing is for the well and pumphouse that will be by the railroad tracts and Bunker Lake Boulevard. John Davidson, TKDA - explained that the water system is being expanded by another well and pumphouse. The contract for the well has been awarded and the pumphouse will be started when the well is completed. We have gone through a process to amend the Comprehensive Sewer Plan and the boundary was changed to include the proeprty to the railroad Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 3 (Public Hearing/87-10 & 87-11, Cant. ) tracks on the east and a corridor to allow us to bring sewer and water to the new school. The area sewer and watermains will be assessed. There will be future assessments for laterals and connection charges when the properties develop. Mr. Davidson noted that the hearing tonight is in hlo parts - 87-10 is for the well and pumphouse and 87-11 is for the alteral sewer to the school. Two to three weeks after this meeting the Council will hold an assessment hearing. John Rodeberq, TKDA - explained that it's part of the Comprehensive Plan to install more wells in the city. A water tower near City Hall is the next one in the process. In conjunction with the Comprehensive Water Plan, the city will be extending a watermain from the well to the school site. We will also be running sanitary sewer and water lines from Coon Creek up Bluebird Street through Oak Bluff and Winslow Hills and across to the school. This line will serve the remainder of the properties in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary. Areas adjacent to the pipe will have lateral charges when they develop. The actual benefitting area was discussed in other projects. Some areas have already been assessed for watermain under other projects. The areas north of Coon Creek will all be assessed area sewer and water charges. Mr. Rodeberg noted that the assessment rates previously given were based on July 1986 rates; they go up each July according to the Engineering NevIs Record index, which means that this year they went up approximately $10.00. The area sanitary sewer trunk charge is now $831.00 per acre and the water area charge is $885.00 per acre. Bethie Grell, Woodridqe Acres - asked why we are going down the creek with the sevier and water when we have the well. John Rodeberg explained that water is not going down the creek. The watermain is proposed to go down Andover Boulevard. Sanitary sevIer is being built along the creek. Mrs. Grell asked what is going to happen when school starts and the buses can't get through. Mayor Windschitl indicated that Mr. Rodeberg will talk to Barbarossa to get something worked out. Guy Mahmarian, 1484 - 148th Lane N.W. - stated that he just moved to Oak Bluff and he was informed that the assessment was paid by the developer for the watermain and asked what effect this will have on them. Mayor Windschitl noted that this will have no effect. The trunk water and trunk sanitary sewer charges are either being paid by the developer or by the new owner of the lot. The laterals will be put in when the neighborhood petitions for them. M.R. Olson - asked if he will be assessed for the well as he was assessed for it last year. Mayor Windschitl stated no, that if he was previously assessed, he will not be assessed again. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 (Public Hearing/87-10 & 87-11, Cont.) Paul Genqler, 14440 Crosstown Boulevard - asked if the per acre trunk charge is based on buildable land. Mayor Windschitl stated that if you make something buildable, you will be assessed for it. Marian Heidelberqer asked why the charge for watermain is $4,800. Mr. Rodeberg stated that the $4,800 is the connection charge. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Elling to close the public hearing. Motion carried. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Elling introducing a resolution con- solidating trunk watermain and sanitary sewer improvement project and well and pumphouse improvement project and ordering the consolidated improvement project (See Resolution No. R158-87). Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 present (Windschitl) vote. Public Hearinq/Vacation of Easement/Oak Bluff MOTION by Knight, seconded by Orttel to table this until later in the meeting. Motion carried. Creekside Estates Preliminary Plat Paul Gengler and Richard Erickson, the developers of the property, were present for this item. Planninq Commission Chairman Marqe Perry - reviewed the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval of the plat, noting that it meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and that a variance is being recommended for the cul-de-sac having a 47 foot radius rather than 60 feet as required by ordinance. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Knight introducing a resolution approving the preliminary plat of Creekside Estates being developed by Paul Gengler and Richard Erickson in Section 27-32-24 as presented and noting that on the final plat the easement for Crosstown Boulevard be correctly shown. (See Resolution No. R159-87). Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 present (Windschitl) vote. Mr. Genqler expressed concern regarding the amount of park dedication fees that were figured for this plat, noting that Mr. Erickson has less property then he has and his portion of the park fees is greater. Mayor Windschitl stated that we will recheck the fees before the final plat is approved. Oak Bluff 2nd Addition Rezoninq Planning Commission Chairman Perry noted that this came to the Planning Commission as a request for R-4 zoning. The Planning Commission took Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 5 (Oak Bluff 2nd Rezoning, Cont. ) note of the fact that this parcel is in the Metroplitan Urban Service Area and that sewer and water would be available to this area in a year's time. The property to the south is zoned R-4. It was discussed that the city has said that when sewer and water are available, the city would look at rezoning to smaller lot sizes. She noted that the residents in Oak Bluff were concerned about the smaller lot sizes and the impact on their property values if smaller homes were allowed to be built in Oak Bluff 2nd. There was discussion regarding rezoning this property either to R-2 or R-3; however, R-3 was not approved by the Planning Commission. This was not a unanimous vote however. Bruce Nedeqaard, representinq Oak Bluff - appealed to the Council to rezone the property to R-3 as the homes in Oak Bluff are in the $150 - 200,000 bracket. He felt that there should be some type of buffer between the $200,000 homes and the $80 - 90,000 homes. Councilman Elling asked if Mr. Nedegaard knew for a fact that Mr. Cook intends to build $80-90,000 homes. Mr. Nedegaard stated no, but it's hard to build a larger home on a smaller lot. George Williams, 1516 - 148th Lane N.W. - noted that they chose their home because of the area and they were under the impression that the development to the south of them (Oak Bluff 2nd) would be similar to Oak Bluff 1st. In talking to the Mayor and staff, he was under the impression that they are in favor of larger lot sizes. Mr. Williams noted that he did an informal survey and almost 100% of the people surveyed are not in favor of R-4 zoning. Pat Moerke, 1237 - l48th Lane N.\'!. - stated that they moved to Andover for elbow room and privacy and felt that this plat will become a tract development. Guy Mahmarian, 1484 - 148th Lane N.W. - noted that one of the things they tried to get away from was having someone right next door to them. He asked why this is such a big issue if the general intent of Andover is to have larger lots and larger homes. He felt that a minimum of one acre lots should be enforced in this area. John Strit, 1334 - 148th Lane N.W. - stated that when he decided to build a new house they moved to Andover because Andover is recognized by others and he hates to see this ruined by having to work hard at being recog- nized again because of smaller lots and smaller houses. Mr. Strit asked the Council to make another good decision and not to let this opportunity pass them by. Chuck Moerke, 1237 - l48th lane N. 1'1. - stated that the R-4 lots vlOuld be agreeable if they had 100 feet of frontage. Jerry Hank, 1310 - 148th Lane N.I'I. - noted that he previously lived in a suburb south of Andover and it has taken that city 25 years to get rid of the stigma of the type of housing that was condoned in the 50's and 60's. He stated that if Andover is that type of community, he made a mistake moving here. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 6 (Oak Bluff 2nd Rezoning, Cont.) Jane Stump - noted that they researched different areas prior to moving to Andover and they would not like to see their property value go down because of this plat. Tom Anderson, 1269 - 148th Lane N.W. - thought that at some of the Planning Commission meetings Mr. Apel said he would rather see larger lots in that area. They are very concerned with their property values. He felt that there needs to be some kind of transition between Oak Bluff and Hartfiel's Estates. Another concern of Mr. Anderson is that Chuck Cook put his lot in Oak Bluff up for sale and he was curious as to why he did that. Mr. Anderson also felt that there should be some type of commitment from Mr. Cook as to what kind of development this will be. John Mastley, 1226 - 148th Lane N.W. - stated that they moved to Andover because of the quality of life. If the R-4 zoning goes through, it will bring everything on the down side. Stated that it should be R-3 so they can maintain what they came here for. Tom Anderson - noted that there was a lot of opposition at the Planning Commission meeting, but in spite of that, the Commission voted 3 to 2 for R-4 zoning. If the city wants this to be a democratic process, they should listen to the people. Mayor Windschitl noted that Dick Schneider was unable to attend this meeting but asked that it put in the record that he would like the property to be R-3. Pat Moerke - noted that when talking to various people about attending tonight's meeting, they said it probably wouldn't matter if they came because of promises that were made to Mr. Cook. She asked if it is correct that the city cannot dictate to a developer what price range homes will go into a development. Mayor Windschitl noted that is correct. Gene Paschen, 14632 Drake Street N.W. - stated that what these people are going through is why he bought the lot next to his house. About half of the property owners in Hartfiel's Estates own the vacant lots next to their homes. Jane Stump - to her knowledge, every resident in Oak Bluff, except one, is here tonight. Jana Balvin, 1419 - 146th Lane N.W. - against the smaller lots. Councilman Orttel felt that the people on 148th Lane were misled by whoever sold them the lots. Oak Bluff was developed in one acre lots so that when sewer and water came in, they could be split into two lots. This is one of the cheapest developments that has been done in the city in recent years. The lots to the north will be R-4. R-4 zoning does not imply that you are going to have a dump because they are smaller lots. Guy Mahmarian - asked if R-4 zoning is a half acre lot. Mayor Windschitl Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 7 (Oak Bluff Rezoning, Cont. ) explained that R-4 zoning is 11,400 square foot lots with a minimum of 80 feet of frontage and 142.5 feet of depth; R-3 is 20,000 square foot lots with 100 feet of frontage and 200 feet of depth; R-2 was a one acre zone that was set up as estate areas. They were primarily on the west side of the city along the river. R-l zoning is 2~ acre lots. Pat Moerke - noted that at the Planning Commission meeting Chuck Cook said that Andover is going to have an over-abundance of lots. She took that to mean that the houses will be less expensive. Councilman Elling stated that this plat shows 77 lots. If he went to R-3 zoning, there would still be 64 lots. Chuck Cook, Continental Development - pointed out that he has been planning this for almost two years. When Oak Bluff 1st was being platted, Mr. Cook was required to submit a resubdivision plan, which is basically what he is now proposing. The decision for platting Oak Bluff 1st was in anticipation of sewer and water coming in and allowing those lots to be able to be split. Hr. Cook stated that he would not have platted those lots at one acre if he had known that sewer and water would be coming in this soon. There will be restrictive covenants on the property but the details have not been worked out yet. Mr. Cook also noted that when he developed Oak Bluff 1st he solicited many build- ers and he had an opportunity to get more from a builder who he knew would not do as good a project as Nedegaard. The people are insinuating that he got ric~ on Oak Bluff 1st. Councilman Apel felt that Mr. Cook has a moral obligation to the people in Oak Bluff and would be in favor of R-3 zoning. Councilman Elling asked Mr. Cook if he would consider changing his request from R-4 to R-3. Mr. Cook replied no. Mayor Windschitl felt that the Council is troubled with the density. The people in Oak Bluff and Hartfiel's are right in trying to get a transitional zone. He suggested that Council could try to pass this under density zoning or look at R-3 zoning. Councilman Orttel stated that it was his understanding that when we rezoned the rural area we rezoned everything to R-l except a few areas that are R-3 because of some special reasons. Councilman Knight noted that he is not in favor of R-3, but doesn't want R-4 either because that zoning does not take into consideration the feelings of the people in Oak Bluff. Mayor Windschitl asked the City Attorney if we could do this under density zoning. /1r. Hawkins explained that this request came in for R-4 zoning and Council has to deal with that unless Mr. Cook changes his mind. Regular City Council meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 8 (Oak Bluff 2nd rezoning, Cont.) Councilman Orttel noted that we have a lot of pressure from the Met Council to provide lower cost housing. He suggested that Mr. Cook talk to some builders to see what the difference would be between a house on an 80 foot lot and one on a 100 foot lot. Chuck Cook asked the Council to delay action on this for two weeks as he is not in a position to make a decision on house sizes and lot sizes at this time. MOTION by Elling, seconded by Orttel to table this item to the next meeting. Motion carried. MOTION by Elling, seconded by Orttel to table the vacation of easement for Oak Bluff to the next meeting. Motion carried. Recess 10:10 - Reconvene 10:20 Mayor Windschitl stepped down to the audience for the next item and Acting Mayor Orttel conducted this portion of the meeting. The Oaks/petition for Improvements/Feasibility Report/CCO MOTION by Knight, seconded by Apel introducing a resolution declaring adequacy of petition and ordering preparation of a feasibility report for the improvements of watermain, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, street with concrete curb and gutter, Project No. 87-29 in The Oaks (See Resolution No. R160-87). Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 abstain (Windschitl) vote.

Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 abstain (Windschitl) vote. MOTION by Knight, seconded by Elling introducing a resolution approving final plans and specifications and ordering ad for bids for Project No. 87-29, The Oaks, for watermain, sanitary sewer, storm drain, and streets with concrete curb and gutter by change order to project No. 87-7. (See Resolution No. R162-87). Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 abstain (Windschitl) vote. (Mayor Windschitl conducted the next portion of the meeting) Receive Feasibility Report/Colonial Creek John Rodeberg noted that the project is feasible and it is proposed to do as much of it as can be done this year. It will be completed in the 1988 construction season. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 10 (Park Commission, Cont.) Mr. McMullen explained that the new equipment would be installed on the east side of City Hall. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Orttel to approve the expenditure of up to $9,000 by the city for the purchase of a Game Duroscape, DS5211. Motion carried. Mayor Windschitl noted that there is a problem with a lack of people to put the park equipment into the parks. Mr. McMullen stated that they are looking at three picnic shelters which will cost $2,000 each to install, various other park equipment which will cost $2,400 to install and the new equipment will cost about $3.000 to install. MOTION by Elling, seconded by Apel to authorize the City Administrator to hire part time help for the installation of park equipment. Motion carried. Tax Increment Financinq Daryl Morey, City Planner explained that the policy in the agenda material is what he came up with after the special meeting of August 11th. Councilman Orttel suggested adding the following to the second para- graph: 'or other circumstances as deemed important'. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Apel to adopt the Tax Increment Financing policy as amended. Discussion: Mr. Schrantz noted that the Sonterre property is not in the TIF district. The city Attorney was directed to start the process to have this property included. Motion carried. Assessment Abatement MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Apel to approve the assessment abatement on the property located at 2738 - 140th Lane N.W. (See R164-87) Motion carried. City Hall Addition Dave Almgren explained the bids that he has received so far. Bids have not been received for the paint, aluminum soffit or the windows. Mr. Almgren noted that he has a material list from Rum River Lumber and Howard Lumber and Rum River is higher; however, Howard Lumber left out some items. Regular city Council Meeting August 18, 1987- Minutes Page 9 (Feasibility Report/Colonial Creek) MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Knight introducing a resolution accepting feasibility report, waiving public hearing, ordering improvements and directing preparation of plans and specifications for improvements of sanitary sewer, watermain, streets with concrete curb and gutter for Colonial Creek, project 87-27. (See Resolution No. R163-87) . Motion carried unanimously. Andover Commercial Park Gradinq Plan John Rodeberg informed the Council that the grading plan has been completed but the specifications are not done. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Knight to accept the grading plan as prepared by TKDA for the Commercial Park. Discussion: John Davidson asked if they could begin grading the portion of Verdin Street between the street system into the park and Bunker Lake Boulevard. Council agreed that this work could be done. Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 present (Elling) vote. William Murphy/Home Occupation Mr. Murphy explained that he would only have two squad cars at one time on his property and this would only take two to three weeks to completed. Council had no objection to Mr. Murphy's request. Ed Fields Buildinq/Sprinklinq System Mayor Windschitl noted that Ed Fields wants to build a two story addition to his warehouse to be used for his office. In going through the plans, the Fire Marshal and Building Official had difficulty with Appendix E. The building code allows Mr. Fields to do what he proposed, but Appendix E does not. Dave Almgren explained that with Appendix E you have to have a separate building, otherwise you have to sprinkle the building. Mayor Windschitl stated that Fridley has an ordinance that is quite simple. It eliminates some of the problems that Appendix E creates. Spring Lake Park, Coon Rapids and Andover are the only cities in Anoka County that have adopted Appendix E. Ray Smvada, Fire Marshal noted that some developers, like Big Wheel, are sprinkling their buildings. Park and Recreation Commission Marc McMullen, Park Commission Chairman - would like the Council to direct Frank to purchase a duroscope, not to exceed $9,000. This was in the budget. This is similar to what is in the back of City Hall. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 11 (City Hall Addition, Cont.) Mayor Windschitl suggested that other lumber companies bid on the material. It was noted that the bids received are under what we expected. Mayor Windschitl felt that we should add to the bid list any place where we have a single bidder. He would like to see more lumber companies bid, such as Northwest Wholesale Lumber, Scherer Bros. Lumber and Lonsky's. Schedule Planninq and Zoninq Commission Interviews MOTION by Knight, seconded by Apel to interview Planning Commission applicants on August 26, 1987 at 7:00 P.M. Motion carried. (Mayor Winds chit 1 stepped down to the audience and Acting Mayor Orttel conducted this portion of the meeting.) Award Bids/87-9/South Coon Creek Drive MOTION by Elling, seconded by Apel to table 87-9 to the September 1, 1987 meeting. Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 present (Windschitl) vote. Ditch Aqreement/Slyzuk Jim Schrantz noted that the profiles are not done, but he has the agreement. Jerry Windschitl stated that Channel Construction wants to install the storm sewer on August 19th. It's the same agreement the city has with Slyzuk in Northwoods. Councilman Elling stated that there are a lot on unanswered questions on this. This item was tabled until later in the meeting. (Mayor Windschitl conducted the next portion of the meeting.) Release Street Escrow/Goodridqe Acres Todd Haas noted that we are still holding back the warranty escrow; this is only the street escrow. MOTION by Knight, seconded by Elling to release the street escrow in the amount of $500 for Goodridge Acres. Motion Carried. Hanson Boulevard/Receive Report Mayor Windschitl felt that this should be assessed this year. There are two possibilities - adjusted front foot or equal unit. Discussion was on why we would change the policy now and if we legally could change it. Mr. Hawkins stated that there should be some reason for changing it. Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987- Minutes Page 12 (Hanson Blvd/Receive Report, Cont. ) This item was tabled until later in the meeting. (Mayor Windschitl stepped down to the audience and Acting Mayor Orttel conducted the following portion of the meeting.) Ditch Aqreement/Slyzuk Mr. Schrantz noted that Mr. Slyzuk is only asking for 1/2 of the cost of the maintenance. Councilman Elling stated that the agreement doesn't say who will say when the ditch needs to be cleaned. Acting Mayor Orttel asked if we can enter into this agreement without the profiles. Jerry Windschitl stated that the city can. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Elling that the City Council enter into an agreement with Ken Slyzuk as presented with the following changes: the parties to this agreement will share the maintenance costs equally. Also add that the Attachment A shall be determined by our engineering firm and we would like to see that at the next meeting. Motion carried on a 4 yes, 1 present (Windschitl) vote. (Mayor Windschitl conducted the remainder of the meeting.) Hanson Boulevard/Receive Report, Cont. Discussion continued on which method should be used to assess this project. Mayor Windschitl felt that everything below 177th Avenue should be assessed one way and the portion north of 177th Avenue be assessed a different way. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Apel to direct staff to prepare a public hearing notice for project 86-5A & B, 86-5Abeing Hanson Boulevard from County Road 20 to 177th Avenue which will be assessed with a 40 acre area assessment and 86-5B being north of 177th Avenue and being assessed on a front footage basis, with the exception of the Walker property with the home on it being deleted from the project because of damages. Motion carried unanimously. Waste Disposal Site Councilman Elling noted that in the latest documents from the SW28 Group, they talk of constructing a sewer down to Coon Rapids that would handle their treated ground water at a cost of $252,000. Now \vi th the new city sewer, they feel they only have to pay a $2,800 connection charge to the city and use that sewer line for their ground water. The flow of water could range from 5 gallons a day to 20,000 gallons a day. Mr. Hawkins explained that they are not in the MUSA boundary and we don't have to give them any capacity. Councilman Orttel suggested that they could go to the Met Council to Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 1987 - Minutes Page 13 (Waste Disposal Site, Cont. ) ask for additional capacity rather then the city doing that. Approval of Claims MOTION by Apel, seconded by Elling to approve claims numbered 13190 through 13248 in the amount of $284,682.39. Motion carried. Mayor Windschitl noted that one of the items in the claims is the check for the City of Anoka in the amount of $100,000 and he asked if we want to sign it. It was the concensus of the Council that the check to the City of Anoka should not be signed. MOTION by Apel, seconded by Elling to remove Check #13197 from the claims. Motion carried. Ordinance 8 & 10 MOTION by Elling, seconded by Apel to direct staff to consolidate Ordinance 8 and Ordinance 10. Motion carried. MOTION by Orttel, seconded by Apel to adjourn. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 12:16 a.m. Respectfully submitted, LL /,,¿v Vicki Volk - Recording Secretary
