Counci1men present: Ape] , Ell ing, Kn i gh t , Orttel Councilmen absent: None Also present: City Attorney, Wi I liam G. Hawkins; City Planner, Daryl Morey: Planning and Zoning Commission Chairperson, Harge Perry; City Administrator, James Schrantz: and others RESIDENT FORU11 Rosella Sonstebv - stated she was appealing to the Council in order to avoid a I awsu I t wh I ch is scheduled for January 13, 1987. She asked where the $100,000 comes from which Andover agreed to pay the City of Anoka to resolve the storm drainage between the two cities. Mayor Windschit1 stated it is City of Andover funds from three or four different areas. He stated the specifics can be researched, but he thought the money came from the Good Value improvement project, the County of Anoka, and others. The Mayor also noted the actual construction of the pipe between the Good Value pond and the storm drainage pipe along County Road 116 is being constructed by Good Value. Homes.. The county wi II forward approximately $8,400 in replacement funds for that pipe. Ms. Sonstebv - asked about a statement from September 29, 1981, Minutes regarding a shortfall for the sanitary sewer project because of approximately 60 acres taken out of the project acres. She asked what 60 acres was referred to. Mayor Windschitl did not recall, noting the documents can be researched. Ms. Sonstebv - asked who benefits from the interest money earned. Mayor Windschitl stated al] interest earned goes to the City of Andover. Hs. Sonstebv - stated according to the Minutes, the $100,000 came from the 80-3 project, which is Good Value. Shirley's Estates, and Auditor's Sub 82. Based on that, Shir1ey's Estates and Auditor's Subdivision 82 are being assessed, but Good Value is not being assessed anything. She alleged Good Value Homes did not fu If i ] J their construction contract by not putting in a nine-foot berm and did not have enough acre feet to run all their storm water. Three years after - .~- ! Regu1ar City Council Meeti ng December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 2 (Resident Forum, Continued) their project, on Apr i I 17, 1987, John Peterson made a statement that they would have al I their park work done, yet they were al lowed to complete their project. But she was denied building permits until all the work in her park area was completed. Ms. Sonsteby aJso understood the City of Anoka charges 1 1/4 cents/square foot for storm drainage to Andover and to Lary Carlson, yet the City Is charging her 1.5 cents a square foot, asking why she is being charged more. Mayor Windschitl explained Andover was not involved in the settlement between Mr. Carlson and Anoka. Ms. Sonstebv - stated the development of Good Value west of Round Lake Boulevard goes south, but Andover exchanged that property with the City of Anoka that drains to her ]and and she is being assessed and Good Value Is not. She didn't feel that is very fair. She asked that the assessments be taken off her property and avoid the lawsuit. Ms. Sonsteby also stated Mr. Davidson of TKDA stated the cost going along Co. Rd. 116 was estimated at $44,000, but the City has i t figured at $60,000. Mayor Windschitl stated the tabulation of the costs are available for her to research. The $44,000 may not have included legal, engineering and administrative costs invoJved In such projects. Ms. Sonstebv - said she asked at the public hearing whether any more water wi I 1 go through that storm drainage pipe and was told no. But since then, she said the Ad01fson property of over 80 acres and part of Lary Carlson's property has been added to that pipe. Mayor Windschitl stated the drainage districts were used according to what was set up in the county plan. Ms. Sonstebv - reviewed the map attained from the City of Anoka regarding the area involved for the $100,000 by-in to the storm drainage to the Rum River. Mayor Wlndschitl stated all negotiations have dealt with the county's plan prepared by the county's consultant. All of those drainage districts were dealt with by the county and the City of Andover. Ms. Sonstebv - hoped the Council would have time to talk about this item this evening, hoping to avoid a lawsuit. Bruce Van den Boom - would like to construct a nice house in Barne's Rolling Oaks but would need to rent out the basement for a few years to afford the type of house he would like and the type that should be constructed in that area. Also, he has started a new business and his neighbors have been very tolerant about the equipment in his yard. He asked if the Counc i I would consider changing the ordinance to al low him to rent out the basement, explaining he felt it would be a 4- or 5-bedroom house, two kitchens, and would house 4 or 5 people for three, four, or five years until he wouldn't need to rent out the basement any more. Regulae City Counci] Meet! ng December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 3 (Resident Forum, Continued) Counc i ¡ discussed the matter, noting any ordinance change would affect the entire City. It was suggested Mr. Van den Boom research the restrictive convenant in that development, thinking it may prohibit rentals. No further action was taken. AGENDA APPROVAL MOTION by Knight, Seconded by El ling, to approve the Agenda. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (Windschti I) vote. C. WEAVER/FISCAL DISPARITY Charles Weaver passed out reprints of an article in the St. Louis Park paper regarding the fiscal disparity bill, and presented a comparison sheet of the current law versus a proposed change. He believes the current bi II does exactly what it is supposed to and is a benefit to Andover, but he was concerned about proposa]s to remove the inflation factor. Mr. Weaver stated he wil I be testifying at the hearing on Friday and wi 1 I be following this item closely. Council noted a willingness to support him and the current law in any way possible. ABC MINI-STORAGE SPECIAL USE PERMIT Chairperson Perry explained the Commission had recommended approval of the permi t on the condi ti on that ABC Mini-Storage provide a screening plan. That plan has not been provided: therefore the Commission is recommending denial of the permit. t1r. Morey stated he contacted ABC Mini-Storage, who said they were sti II interested. But they haven't been heard from since. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution denying the request of the ABC Mini-Storage for a special use permi t to conduct exterior storage on property located at 13624 Hanson Boulevard NW, as presented. (See Resolution R236-87) Motion carried unanimously. RENAME WARD LAKE DRIVE Mr. Schrantz stated with the opening of Hanson Boulevard next year, i t is logical that the portion of Ward Lake Drive from 177th to 181st be renamed Hanson Boulevard. Regular City Council Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 4 (Rename Ward Lake Drive, Continued) Ken Orr - stated he talked with some of the neighbors, asking why they have to go through that expense again. Their addresses were just changed less than a year ago, asking why this change wasn't made then. He said it costs a lot and is inconvenient to change addresses again. Counc i I discussed ways to reduce the cost and inconvenience of the address change. It was noted the City notifies such agencies as the post office, telephone, county, etc. It was also felt such a change should not be official unt i I Hanson Boulevard is completed and that the six months would provide ample time for any address changes. MOTION by EJling, Seconded by Apel, Ordinance No. 83 as presented with the addition that it take effect July 1 , 1988. Motion carried unanimously. EAW/CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD MOTION by Knight, Seconded by El ling, a Resolution on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement for Crosstown Boulevard reJocation as presented. (See Resolution R237-87) DISCUSSION: Note the resolution coincides with the DNR recommendation that an EIS is not needed. The DNR is the control ling agency on this project. Motion carried unanimously. LICENSE RENEWALS MOTION by Knight, Seconded by E1Jing, approval of the following J icenses for 1988: Off-Sa Ie Intoxicating Liquor: JJ's Liquors G-wi II Liquors Cigarette Licenses: Merwin Drug Speedy Market SuperAmerica Bill's Superette Downtown Del i G-Wi J I Liquors Tom Thumb Festival Foods JJ's Liquors Off-Sale Non-Intoxicating Liquor: Bill's Superette SuperAmerlca Tom Thumb Speedy Market Merwin Drug Motion carried unanimously. Regular City Council Meeting December 15. 1987 - Minutes Page 5 (License Renewals, Continued) MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, the renewal of the Junkyard License for Wilber Auto Parts for 1988. Motion carried unanimously. It was reported cars needed to be cleared at Anoka Auto Wrecking. It was agreed to hold this item to the next regular meeting. REForm ESCROW/SHIRLEY'S ESTATES MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Apel, that we refund the escrow deposit on Shirley's Estates in the amount of $2,246.47, including interest on it. Motion carried unanimously. SOLID WASTE ABATEMErn Mr. Morey reviewed his findings on the cost for curbside pickup and drop-off centers in implementing a solid waste abatement program for the City of Andover. He estimated a cost of $6,500 to $16,800 per year for curbside service and another $6,000 to $12,00 per year for drop-off centers. Construction costs would be another $4,000 to $5,000 per drop-off site. Counc i I discussed the mandated solid waste abatement law, its effects to Andover which has both rural and urban areas, and methods of implementation. Councilman Elling didn't think it would be feasible to have curbside pickup in the rural area, and also noted glass will be the main problem. He sa i d i t wi I 1 be important to educate the residents on separating refuse and solid waste abatement. Mr. Morey was asked to prepare a time frame for implementing a solid waste abatement program for Andover, noting the first step would be the education of the residents. He was also asked to determine where drop-off centers should be located, possibly making those available for newspapers first, and how much each will cost. Since the Andover Athletic Association already has a newspaper drop-off in the City, they may want to expand that program. Otherwise, the City would be in competition with them. The abatement quotas must be met by 1992. It was also suggested the grant from the county be used for signing, education, and possibly setting up some drop-off centers. This item is to be considered again at the January 5, 1988, regular meeting. Regular City Council ~1eeti ng December 15, 1987 - t1inutes Page 6 CORONA d'Arcy Bose1] stated she has been representing the City at the meetings of the Coalition of Rural Outlying Neighboring Areas for the purpose of regaining jurisdiction from the Metropolitan Council. Those cities now Inc1ude Ham Lake, Oak Grove, St. Fr-ancis, Ramsey, East Bethel, Centervi lIe, Andover, Columbls Township and Linwood. She reviewed the items discussed at their meetings, noting they are now at the point of wanting to meet with the representatives on the Metropolitan Council regarding their concerns. Ms. Bosell stated they are now in need of some c1erical he1p, and that LuAnn Hanson has agreed to be the secretary for the group. They are requesting that each city underwrite the secretarial expenses of COROt-IA in the amount of $35 to cover the next four months. She asked the City Council to al locate the $35 but to h01d the funds until a joint powers agreement can be drafted and executed. Counc i I discussed the goals of the group and its applicability to Andover. MOTIOt-I by Knight, Seconded by E111ng, that we approve the r-equest for secretaria1 help for CORONA as requested contingent upon execution of a joint powers agreement. DISCUSSIOt-I: Mayor Windschitl asked that the Counc i I be provided with copies of the Minutes of CORor'A. He also suggested if the group Is to pursue the matter more actively, that the position of Andover be set by the Council. Motion carried unanimously. ERROt-IEOUS DEEDS Dave Almgren, Building Official, explained what apparently happened to cause the erroneous deeds of property east of 133rd to Coon Creek. Because it was determined the city storm sewer is not located on the properties In questl on , the Counc i 1 asked the staff to determine the procedure for vacating the easement and to determine who the property would be returned to. Council recessed at 9:12; reconvened the meeting at 9:23 p.m. FIRE STATIOt-I Borm ISSUE Councilman Knight reported School District 15 has rescheduled a $6.9 mil lion bond issue ejection for February 18, 1988. Counci ¡man Ape! asked if the construction of the two new fire stations would lower the cost of Insurance to the residents. Fire Chief Bob Palmer didn't think it would. Regular City Council Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 7 <Fire Station Bond Issue, Continued) Counc i I discussed the merits of the issue as well as the concerns that the size of the mi II ]evy Increase may provoke some degree of controversy and of having two special elections so close together. Discussion was also on possible dates for a bond election for the fire stations. Paul Gengler, firefighter, stated it has not yet been determined whether the station can be located in the proposed location of 139th and Crosstown Boulevard. Af ter further discussion. it was agreed the Fire Depa~tment wi I I research and recommend a date for the special bond Issue e1ection. They are also to have something prepared on the question of one or two options in the election, that is splitting the choices to either just the northwestern station, just the southern station or both. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by El ling, that we table this until the next meeting to give the Fire Department staff time to investigate the magic day and whether or not the two-part option would be better than just one whole concept. Motion carried unanimously. ORDINANCE 19 AMENDMENT Mr. Almgren stated the sodding of boulevards and driveway construction requirements al~eady exist. This amendment provides the ability to escrow when that work cannot be done, basically between November 1 and Apr i 1 or May, to be sure the work gets done. In discussing the amendment, Counc i I fe It Secti on 3, C should refer to the Ordinance 10 requirement. It was suggested this Item read: "The genera] contractor or home builder shal I meet the improvements required under Ordinance 10 such as provide 4 inches of topsoi I and sod on a I I boulevards and the conditions regarding hard surfaced driveways and erosion control." It was also agreed under Item F, interest earnings on any deposit shall accrue to the benefit of the deposi tor, not the City as first proposed. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by OrtteJ, that this thing be tabled unti I you can bring this back to the next meeting with C correct and leave off on F that interest, so that we know exactly what we are looking at. Motion carried unanimously. D. JACOBSON/CABLE TV Don Jacobson, the City's representative on the Quad City Cable Commission, stated part of the money collected from the franchise fees is used for equipment. In order for the camera and other equipment to Regular Ci ty Counci I Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 8 (D. Jacobson/Cable TV, Continued) remain in the City for Its use, the federal law requires the City counc i I meetings be televised over the local cable station. He requested the Council consider televising its meetings. If it chooses to do so, the Cable Commission will have a person unobtrusively run the equipment during the meetings, which is also paid for out of the franchise fees. If the Counc i I chooses not to do so, under the federa1 1aw, the camera and other equipment must be removed from the City. Mayor Wlndschltl asked If any City funds would be used for this. Mr. Jacobson stated no taxpayers money is involved, as It alJ comes from franchise fees. Counc I I agreed to televise the regular meetings on a trial basis. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Knight, that we try this cable television thing for a period of six months, televising the regular Counc i I meetings: at the end of six months we wi I I re-evaluate. Motion carried unanimously. PERSONNEL HEARING/MASHUGA Dale Mashuga presented a handout showing payment to the City for $1,389 to hookup his house to water. It was his understanding that this included a license, stating he didn't know that did not cover the permit. There was also a handout of the receipt for work done. Mr. Mashuga explained his we I I dried up during the dewatering portion of the project, and his only source of water was a garden hose run from a ne i ghbor to his place. Because of the weather and possibility of freezing, he hooked up to the water before the project was completed. But he said he talked to American Contracting and to Del, the inspector for TKDA, about this, who saw no problem with It. Mr. Mashuga stated he has never been hooked up to the system; and he had no intention of hooking up until everything was accepted, as his wel I started working again the next week. He did pay for the job on October 31, explaining the person who was going to hook It up did not have the equipment on that day. So he asked American Contracting if he could use their backhoe. Since American Contracting had cut his telephone wire four times during the project, they agreed to allow the use of their backhoe in exchange for a case of beer. Mr. Mashuga stated he honestly didn't think he had done anything wrong. He didn't know the money paid to the City did not include a perml t for hookup. He also inspected the job himself since he is the sewer and water inspector for the City, not knowing he should have had someone else do it for his own residence. He said he never saw anything in writing to that effect. Only the water was hooked up. not the sanItary sewer. Regular City Council Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 9 (Personnel Hearing/Mashuga, Continued) Mr. Mashuga also explained when he inspects jobs in the City, he has no way of knowing whether a lIcense was obtained. Also, there is never a licensed plumber working on these projects nor does he ever check this when inspectIng a Job. All he does is check i f the Job is done properly, stating he was unaware of those provisions. Mr. Schrantz stated the money paid the City was for the water area assessment to date. There wi 11 be further assessments for sewer and water next year. He stated his position is as stated previously -- Mr. Mashuga hooked up to the project before it was accepted and did so without obtaining a license from the City. Mr. Schrantz felt Mr. Mashuga should have known about both of those things. Mr. Mashuga argued he did hook up early, but he talked with American Contracting and the TKDA inspector, plus Kensington Estates and Hills of Bunker Lake did exactly the same thIng. Mr. Schrantz replied those developers came in and received their permIts, and the City worked wi th them to protect the system. Mr. Mashuga again stated he did not know about not having a permit: and if he had felt he had done anything wrong, he would not have talked to the rest of the staff about it. He stated he cannot afford a $2 an hour cut In pay, asking If somethIng else could be worked out instead. Counc i I discussed the action taken previously for a 5-day suspension and a demotion to Public Works III. Mr. Schrantz felt hIs recommendation was fair, feeJing there was no confusion as to what took place. Counc i 1 asked if he meant i t to be a permanent demotIon. Mr. Schrantz stated that is up to the CouncIl, but Mr. Mashuga would be eligibJe to work up In the system and complete for other positions as openings became available. He felt it is very important that the Counc I I establish a message in Andover that the employees do not take advantage of their jobs to do some of these thIngs. MOTION by Apel, Seconded by KnIght, that JIm Schrantz's recommenda- tion of December 2 be imposed due to the fact that the employee should have known that a permIt was requIred and that he also should have known that he was hooking up early. I would restrict his demotion to the highest level of Public Works III rather than the middle or lower one; and wi th the recommendation that he be considered for future promotions should he desire to apply for a hIgher position; for the fol lowing reasons: On October 31 you connected your house to the City water system in violation of the City ordinances and the City personnel pol Icy. This was done before the project was accepted, without obtaining the required permit, without paying the required fees. without a licensed plumber, and without anyone from the City knowing about it. As a representative of the City, you inspect these service connections as part of your employment responsIbIlities; and, therefore. are aware of these requirements. DISCUSSION: Regular City Council Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 10 <Personnel Hearing/Mashuga, Continued) Mr. Mashuga stated he was not aware that he had to have someone from another city Inspect that Job. He also stated he was not aware that he did not have a permIt and that nobody has a licensed plumber on the job. He also asked the Council to take into consideration tha t he didn't have any water; and he was looking ahead, knowing It would be difficult once the ground was frozen. Mr. Schrantz stated he did not have a problem with anyone else in the City inspecting the Job. But a licensed plumber on the job should take out the permit. Councilman Elling asked if Mr. Mashuga carries the ordinances with him. Mr. Mashuga stated the only ordinances he carries are in reference to the size of the pipe, etc. , not the entire ordinance. There was some discussion on setting a period of time before Mr. Mashuga would be al lowed to compete for higher positions, though no action was taken on that issue. Councilman Apel fe It the motion provides Mr. Schrantz some discretion and allows an opportunity for the Administrator and Mr. Mashuga to work together. Motion carried unanimously. HIRE JANITOR MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Apel, to accept the bid from Heavenly Helper's for $6 per hour, $5,760 per year. Motion carried unanimously. RESCUE SERVICE INCENTIVES/GENGLER Paul Gengler, Rescue Service Coordinator, reported he has not been able to find a satIsfactory relief association program for the rescue service, proposing another solution to provide an Incentive to retain volunteers on the rescue squad. Mr. Gengler explained the City has contributed $250 per year to every firefighter toward the relief association. The rescue service has been in effect for seven years, and nothing has been put toward a relief association. As a temporary measure, he proposed instead that a schedule be established to increase the points per cal I based on years of service for the rescue volunteers. For 0 to 1 years of service, each call would be 1 point or $6.25 per point as per the budget. From 1 to 2 years of service, add 1/8 point, or $.77 more per po i n t. From 2 to 3 years, add 1/4 point, or $1.54 more per point. From 3 to 4 years of service, an addl tional $2.31 per point; and at the end of 5 years, $3.89 more per point. Regular City Council Meeti ng December 15, 1987 - MInutes Page 11 (Rescue ServIce Incentives/Gengler, ContInued) Mr. Geng]er hoped this would work for the next year or two until some kInd of relief assocIation can be set up. He asked that this be made retroactive for 1987, which would requIre an additional $1,600 In theIr budget. Plus it would mean an additional $3,500 for the 1988 budget. He determined this would be 1ess costly to the City than contributIng $250 toward a relIef assocIation for each person on the rescue squad. Mr. Gengler stated he is also considering the adjustment be gIven as a bonus at the end of the year. MOTION by Orttel, Seconded by Knight, that we authorize an expenditure of up to $1,600 for poInt incentive payments to the rescue squad for 1986-87, and move that we authorize the expenditure of up to $3,500 for 1988. and note that wi th the increased incentive pay comes the adoption of the recommended point increase system in lieu of a pension program for the rescue squad; the system to be revIewed at the end of 1988. Motion carried unanimously. GRADING AND FILLING PERMIT d'Arcy Bosel I , Zoning AdmInistrator, revIewed the proposed grading and f ill I ng permi t form, noting there are three ordinances which requIre such permi ts. Counc i I discussed the form, some thInking it was quIte complIcated for an individual to fill out, that it was more for developers or those with more expertise in the area. Ms. Bosell stated there will be instructions, plus there may be items which do not apply to a partIcular request which would be marked not appJlcable. Counc i I feJt the sheet explaining the InformatIon needed was too specIfic, suggestIng words such as "accurate" in Items 2 and 3a be deleted so one wouldn't have to have survey's done to meet the requirements of the form. Several CouncIlmen also felt the 7th Item whIch requires a surety or securIty bond should be deleted, as i t Is often not possible for an indIvidual to obtain bonding and all work would be done on private property. It was finally agreed each Councilman will review the proposed form and have recommended changes for the next regular Council meeting. $205.000 TAX INCREMENT BOND SALE Mr. Hawkins noted he received bIds from the First NatIonal Bank of Anoka for 8.91 percent and from St. Anthony National Bank for 8.81 percent. He recommended the sale of the three-year temporary bonds to the St. Anthony National Bank. Regular City Councll Meeting December 15, 1987 - Minutes Page 12 ($205,000 Tax Increment Bond Sale, Continued) MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, that we direct the Attorney to prepare the Resolution for the next meeting to the St. Anthony National Bank at 8.81 percent. Motion carried unanimously. (This motion was later rescinded) 87-11/STORM DRAINAGE SUPPLEMENT MOTION by Ape1, Seconded by Knight, a Resolution receiving a supplement to the feasibility report and ca]1lng pub11c hearing on improvements of Storm Drainage, Project No. 87-11, In the Schoo], WlnsJow Hills, and Oak Bluff area, as prepared. (See Resolution R238-87) Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-No (Elling) vote. $205.000 TAX INCREMENT BOND SALE. CONTINUED MOTION by El ling, Seconded by Knight, to rescind my previous mot Jon.

No action was taken.

Motion ca~ried on a 4-Yes, I-Present (Windschitl) vote. EASEMENT ACQUISITION - PROJECT 87-3 Attorney Hawkins reported the County is stll I asking for an Indemnification agreement and the easement that the City needs for the sewer and water system over tax forfeited lands. He said the County does not normal]y require the indemnification agreement, but is doing so because of the proximity to the I andf 111. TKDA has assured him there is no risk. Counci] agreed to tabJe the Item, Haitlng for a letter to that effect from TKDA. FINAL PAYMENT.
