ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304· (612) 755-5100 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING - DECEMBER 20. 1988 MINUTES The Regular Bi-Monthly Meeting of the Andover City CounciI was ca I led to order by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on December 20. 1988, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover, Minnesota. Councilmen present: Ape1, EI ling, Knight, Or tt e I Councilman absent: None Also present: City Attorney, Wi I I iam G. Hawkins: TKDA Engineer, John Rodeberg: Assistant City Engineer, Todd Haas: City Planner, Jay Blake: City Administrator, James Schrantz: and others RESIDENT FORUM Charlie Velman - reviewed the information provided for the Counci I on the Senior Citizens Housing report. Baslca11y, the study showed only 1.7 percent of the peop1e In the northern Anoka County area are senior citizens. The result is there does not appear to be an interest nor the finances to warrant senior citizen housing In the area. When such housing is needed, it was found the most desirab1e location is in the area of the Assembly of God Church In Andover. Mr. Velman felt It would be wise to 100k at the matter again In five to ten years. Mr. Veiman then gave a humerous narrative on several happenings in the City this past year, and thanked the Council for the hours of service given to the City, especially thanking Mayor Windschitl for his years of service. Winslow Holasek - reported on the last meeting of the Coon Creek Watershed and of the Board's proposal to hire viewers to do a redetermination of benefits on Ditches 57, 58 and 59 to payoff the deficit balances on those ditches. The proposal would be to 1evy up to $40,000 a year on each of the ditches until the debts are paid off. The deficit amounts to $300.000 to $400,000, and It cannot be 1evled under the 509 Capi tal Improvements Program procedure. Mr. Holasek felt the irony of the proposal Is the cost of the viewers would be about $55,000, and a portion of the deficit is to payoff a $100,000, 11 percent interest loan from the county. But about $64.000 of that loan has been reinvested and is earning about 5 percent Interest. If this is approved, there is the potential of two assessments to the residents. this one plus any project that would be ordered. He felt there has been a terrible mismanagement of funds by the Board and that the City should Jook into this matter further. Regular CI ty Counci I !'Jeetlng December 20. 1988 - !1inutes Page 2 (Resident Forum. Continued) The Counci 1 discussed the matter in more detai 1. also questioning how such a large deficit was incurred and the financing management by the Watershed Board. The question was also raised on the interpretation of the maintenance fund as to whether the proposal for redetermination of benefits can be used to reduce a deficit that is not related to maintenance. Jack McKelvv - stated at the last meeting the Watershed Board removed Ditch 58 from the calculations. as there is enough money in the general fund to cover that deficit. But the Board did not approve the proposal because some members wanted approval from the cities first. mainly Andover. Other members thought Andover had already aoreed to the proposal. Mr. McKelvy understood the Board's intent is to contact the City for a written opinion on the matter. The Counc i I stated the only approval they have given Is to the new formula on projects: but this proposal Is totally different and no statement has been given regarding the redetermination of benefits. After further discussion. it was agreed to wait for the Watershed Board to approach the City on this item. No further action was taken. RoseJla Sonstebv. 4151 141st Avenue NW - read a prepared statement stating she has been discriminated against in several ways by the City of Andover. She fe 1 t that discrimination occurred in her recent court case against the City on the assessment for the Dehn's Pond storm drainage project, alleging improprieties by the Off i ce of the City Attorney toward the engineering firm that determined whether she received benefit in that project. She concluded that she had been treated underhandedly and wi 11 not get justice unti] she appeals the case outside of Anoka County. Counci Iman E1 1 ing and Mr. Schrantz then presented a plaque of appreciation to Mayor Windschitl for his years of public service and dedication to the City of Andover.

Foyt, Continued) ~!r. Foyt stated he misunderstood the instruction to report back to the City on the progress made, stating he felt he could comply by December 22 to the point of entering a not guiltyplea in court. But because of his work schedule. he has been unable to complete the project, He mace three proposals for Counc i I consideration to avoid taking this matter to court: 1) that he would be granted several weeks to bring the property into compliance -- January 15 or January 30 because of the weather: 2) that he be given until spring which would al low him time to build an accesssory building and build a fencing screen for some of his construction vehicles. Mr. Foyt stated he is financially abJe to construct the accessory building at this time and has the financing lined up for an addition onto his house: 3) that he be granted a special use permit to construct an accessory building, 40x60 feet, before the expansion of the principal structure. He would like the accessory building to be as large as the princlpal structure wi th the proposed addition, Then he would remove the present accessory structure. Ideally, Mr. Foyt stated he would first insta J ] the accessory bui Iding immediatelY, then excavate and construct the expansion to his house. then remove a I I the items from the present accessory bui Iding and around the yard. finaJ]y grade and Jandscape In the spring. His ul tlmate goal is to clean up the area and enhance the beauty of the property. He also explained that he is in construction, proposing a sma] J screened area for a truck that he wouJd bring home evenings rather than crive it up to Zimmerman. He stated he does not intend to run a business out of his home, but he does have an office there. Mr. Foyt also stated there are stil I 14 vehicles on the site right now, They are al I operable, licensed and insured except one which is Just operable but not licensed. Counci I generally was not in favor of varying from the ordinance to allow the construction of the accessory building any larger than the size of the existing principal structure. They agreed the accessory bullding couJd be added onto i f the size of the principal structure increased. They also questioned whether the fencing for vehicles is al Jowed under the ordinance, thinking that it is not al10wed in residentlaJ areas. only commercial. Counc i I asked that that be researched. Another issued raised was parking co~mercial vehicles in a residential area. aSking that that also be researched. There was also some concern on the part of the Counc i I that this not turn into another reduction yard. Attorney Hawkins advised prosecution has not yet begun. After further discussion, the Council and !1r, Foyt reached an agreement that he would be given unti I January 31, 1989, to clean up the property. The Counc i 1 also indicated they would not have a problem with the construction of a new accessory building prior to the removal of the existing one i f the security was sufficient to assure that removal. Regular City Counc i 1 Meeting December 20, 1988 - Minutes Page 8 (Zoning Issue/S. Foyt, Continued) !10TIQ!, by Apel. Seconded by Knight, that the Counc i I allow Mr. Foyt to have until January 31, 1989. to come into compliance with our Ordinance 8: and if he then decides to go forward and build an accessory bui Iding and expand his house, we can take this up at that time. But for now, he should be in compliance by January 31. Motion carried unanimously. Counc i 1 recessed at 9:35 to conduct a Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting. The meeting reconvened at 9:57 p,m. POUnD LAKE SNOWMOBILE PROBLEM d'Arcy Bosell, Zoning Administrator. reviewed her December 20, 1988. memorandum to the Council regarding the problem with snowmobi les racing at high speeds on Round Lake. The current ordinance does not allow speeds in excess of 50 mph: however, the County does not have a radar gun, so enforcement is next to impossible. A recommended solution has been to not allow snowmobiles on the lake at alJ. Counc i 1 discussion was on the problem and possibIe solutions. Mayor WlndschitJ noted the lake is also used a lot by surrounding property owners wi thout a problem, and he did not want to 1 imi t their use because of a problem being caused by others. It was the Council's feeling that many of the violators are not City residents, and that the racing Is not an off Icial or sponsored event, A suggestion was to eliminate the activity rather than el iminate snowmobiles entirelY. Another idea was to hoJd an informational meeting with the surrounding residents to get their opinions as to what should be done. Counc i 1 also discussed the possibi lity of closing off the access to the lake off Round Lake Boulevard in hopes that that would keep the abusers off the lake: however. some noted that would also affect those wanting to fish on the lake. The Attorney was asked to come up with a definition of snowmobiles using radar so such activities can be limited on Round Lake. This item was discussed again later in the meeting. JUNKYARD LICEnSE RENEWALS MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Apel, approval of Junkyard Licenses for 1989 for Anoka Auto Wrecking. ATV Salvage, Mom's Auto Salvage and Wilber Auto Parts. DISCUSS ION: A gentJeman from ATV stated there is a traileron the Tonson TIre property that has been used as an office. Regular Ci ty Counci I Meetino December 20. 1988 - Minutes Page 9 (Junkyard License Renewals, Continued) If he purchased that trai ler. would he be allowed to move it to his property and use i t as an office? He would be able to take down the fence and move the trailer dlrectJy onto his property. The Council noted that trailer was never intended to be permanent and there was a time period for the use of that trailer. No mobile homes are alloHed as a permanent place of business. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, 1-No (Or t t e 1 , noting the items of noncompliance listed by the Fire Marshal) vote, COMPUTER DISCUSSION Jim Stern, Chapel Consulting, reviewed a draft letter to Ameridata regarding the negotiations with them to resolve the problems with the City's computer system. The proposal is that Ameridata would replace the City's existing computer with a col J ection of new and used PC hardware and software and refund $22,250 less any amounts unpaid to acquire replacement accounting software. The replacement system vlOU I d be PCs. not a networked system. In his discussions with Ameridata, they were not interested in taking back the entire system for a cash settlement. There was some concern that wi th a PC system, it would be difficult to upgrade it to a networked system should the City want an automated parcel program. Mr. Stern though t the proposed PC system would serve the City for the next three to five years. The Counc i 1 agreed to send the draft letter to Ameridata with the fol lowing changes: the existing computer would be replaced with new IBt1 equipment: Amerldata wouJd pay for the conversion costs as wel 1 as for the replacement of the accounting software program: and the letter would be signed by either Mr. Hawkins or Mr. Stern, not the City. ROUND LAKE SrW'wMOB I LE PROBLE!1. CONTINUED Attorney Hawkins stated Deputy Roessler had been watching the Council meeting and cal Jed him regarding the snowmobile problem on Round Lake. It is the Deputy's opinion that the proposaJ to eliminate racing on the lai<e wi J 1 not solve the problem. They a1ready have the speed I imi t requirement: but the problem is the county does not have a radar gun to be able to enforce ' . The biggest problem is enforcement, and I , . Deputy Roessler feels the only thing that could be regulated is prohibitng snowmobiles on Round Lake. Mark Bidell . 1550 181st - suggested the problem be brought to the attention of the Minnesota Snowmobilers Association. who sends out a paper perioda11y to everyone who owns a snowmobile. He was concerned about taking action to elimlnate snowmobiles on the lake, as there are many people who do not abuse the laws. He also though t the Coon Rapids Pol ice Department has some radar guns that could be purchased by either the City or the county. Regular City Counci I Meeting December 20, 1988 - Minutes Page 10 (Round Lake Snowmobile Problem, Continued) After further discussion, it was agreed to put up the "No Parking" signs aJong Round Lake Boulevard in the vicinity of the boat landing.

Regu1ar City Councii Meeting December 20, 1988 - Minutes Page 11 AWARD BID/FIRE DEPARTMENT VEHICLE Roger Noyes, Firefighter, recommended awarding the bid to Iten Chevrolet for $20,565. It is on the lot and has more options than they need, but it wou 1 d take 12 weeks to order a new one. This vehicle wi I I become the Chief's car, and the present Chief's car wi 11 be used by the Fire Marshal. There was a ]engthy discussion about the options on the car, with the Counc i 1 being concerned with the impression of extravagance because of the many luxury items on It. Fire Chief Bob Pa]mer pointed out the cost is comparable with one that would be ordered without the options, and some of the items can be taken off this vehicle, The Counc i 1 noted residents are not usuaJ Jy aware of the speci f ics. and this vehicle 100ks extravagant. The Counc i 1 then questioned why al I three vehicles (Building Department car, Fire Department vehicle. and the Public Works vehicle which wi 11 be bid shortly) were not bid together as a package, thinking that would mean a more favorab1e cost. Frank Stone, PubI ic Works Supervisor, stated he is a1most ready to bid a vehicle for his department: and he has a II st of dealers he submits specifications to. Counc i I then directed that this vehicle and the one proposed for Pub] ic Works be bid within the next two weeks for consideration at the January 3 meeting.

Motion carried unanimousJy. ANDOVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT - PROPOSED BOND ISSUE Bob Dillon, Firefighter, proposed they establish a committee that includes Andover residents to study the proposed building program and bond Issue for the Fire Department. Mr. Dlllon stated he remains committed to the three-station concept, and the intent of the commi t tee \WU 1 d be to get the citizens more involved and to make a recoITunendat ion to the Counc i I as to another referendum. The discussion was then on possible reasons the last bond issue failed and how to be sure the residents are more informed on the matter. Jack McKelvey stated he campaigned heavily against the last referendum because he was told the present station would have onJy two smaller rigs. which he felt reduced the fire protection of himseIf and his neighbors. PIus, he fe It the residents in his area did not know about the matter untIl just a week or so before the electIon. Reç'u1êLr City Counci] f1eeting December 20. 1988 - !1inutes Page 12 (Andover Volunteer Fire Department - Proposed Bond Issue. Continued) Because of a new Counc i 1 taking office in January.
