She Is the only CommIssIoner who exp~essed an interest in serving In that posItIon: and because of her experience on varIous professIonal commIttees. he was comfortable with Regular CIty Council Meeting MInutes - January 7, 1992 Page 3 (Appoint Chairpersons/PlannIng and Zoning and Park Board, ContInued) that appointment even though she has been on the CommissIon for- one year.

ADOPT 1992 SEWER AND WATER BUDGETS Mr. Koolick revIewed the proposed Water Fund budget. Mr. Stone prepared the expenditure portIon of the budget based on past trends and what he expected for- the upcomIng year. The revenue budget was prepar-ed based on the estImated number- of current and new customers for 1992 plus pr-oposed water- r-ate Increase. That r-ate for- 1992 Is recommended to be 95 cents per 1,000 gallons. They are estImatIng water revenues to be down because of the r-elatively wet summer. fall and winter. They are also estImatIng a lesser number of new accounts based on buIldIng trends. Mr. Koollck also r-evlewed the changes In the expenditures for the water budget. The most sIgnIfIcant Incr-eases are an Increase In salar-Ies for the Treasurer and FInance DIrector- resulting from an Increase of theIr tIme spent In thIs Department and the purchase of a computer system and software to allow the CIty to start using the automated meter readIng equIpment. Mr. Koolick then reviewed the Sewer Fund budget, noting they anticipate no Increase In sewer fees because the growth in customer base is suff Icient to meet increased expenses. ExpendItures Include a $4,000 Increase to the MWCC over last year and the same salary ..- . .,.-. - - Regular CIty Council Meeting Minutes - January 7, 1992 Page 4 (Adopt 1992 Sewer and Water Budgets, Continued) Increase as In the Water Fund for the Treasurer and FInance DIrector. The MWCC charge Is calculated on an estImated 1992 flow wIth a slIght increase for the dIfference between what was paId and what should have been paId In 1990. The lIne for contIngency has gone up consIderably because revenues exceed expendItures. That revenue wIll be needed at some poInt when there Is a problem In the sewer lInes. Mr. Koolick advIsed the the CouncIl may wIsh to elImInate the $30.500 transfer from the Sewer Trunk Fund. It was done in 1990 to help balance the budget on the theory of the hIgher connection charges paId by those fIrst connected to the system In the 1970s. ThIs transfer was replacing the lost revenue from the lower rate paId by those connectIons. The Counc I I can reduce the contIngency lIne by $30,500 and elimInate that revenue wIthout affectIng the budget. After some dIscussion, the Counc I I agreed to reduce the contingency lIne, preferrIng to leave those funds In the Sewer Trunk Fund wIth the anticIpatIon that they wI II be needed In that fund at some point. Mayor Orttel also explaIned the CIty wIll receive up-front money from the WDE site for access to the sewer system, but the gallonage charge for usIng the system wIll be a pass-through. Mr. KoolIck stated that is not Included In the budget. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Perry, the ResolutIon establishIng the 1992 Water and Sewer Fund Budgets as presented wIth the Sewer Fund Transfer In of $30,500 deleted and the ContIngency Fund dropped to $930. (See ResolutIon R002-92) MotIon carrIed unanImously. APPROVE 1992 WATER AND SEWER RATES MOTION by Sml th, Seconded by McKelvey, the ResolutIons establishIng sanItary sewer rates and water rates as wrItten. (See Resolution R003-92 setting rates for permIts, connectl on fees, servIces, and water usage, and ResolutIon R004-92 establIshIng sanItary sewer rates and sanitary sewer connectIon charges to be effectIve January 1 , 1992) Motion carrIed unanImously. CONSIDER ACCAP PROPOSAL Mayor Orttel explaIned the Anoka County CommunIty ActIon Program has requested that Andover allocate a mInImum of $7,750 toward a county-wIde effort to purchase a four- to sIx-unIt two-bedroom facIlity for the homeless In Anoka County. It Is elIgIble for fundIng with CommunIty Development Block Grant Funds. - -. - - Regular CIty CouncIl MeetI ng MInutes - January 7, 1992 Page 5 (ConsIder ACCAP Proposal, ContInued) Mr. Carlberg stated thIs would come from the 1992 funds whIch have not yet been budgeted. He wI II submIt a bUdget proposal to the Counc 11 In February. The CI ty wI II receIve about $37.000 In 1992. plus there are some funds remaInIng from 1990. Approximately $18,000 has been allocated to socIal servIce organIzatIons In the past. The Counc I I did not object to the proposa I but did not wIsh to endorse It wIthout further Information. Mr. Carlberg was asked to fInd out where the unIt wIll be located and whether It Is goIng to be a contInuIng request. He also agreed to present to the Counc 11 a CDBG budget which will include all requests. MINOR AMENDMENT TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/ASHFORD DEVELOPMENT Mr. Carlberg explaIned Jerry Wlndschltl has requested the CIty prepare a Minor Amendment to the ComprehensIve Plan to Include 13 lots beIng developed by Ashford Development In the proposed Weybrldge development to be included in the MetropolItan Urban ServIce Area. Those parcels already have sewer stubs. Because It Is consIstent wIth the ComprehensIve Plan now before the MetropolItan CouncIl, a publIc hearIng is not needed. The 90-day process for the CIty's ComprehensIve Plan has not yet started because of problems wIth the TransportatIon Chapter, the populatIon projectIons In the MUSA area, and the City's flow proJectIons. A Minor Amendment Is generally approved by the Met CouncIl w1thln a few weeks. He dIdn't thInk there is a sImlllar sItuation In any other plat In the CIty. Mayor Orttel felt the CIty may have to address the issue of allocating sewer if only a lImIted number of lots are made avaIlable. though that wou I d not affect these parcels because they are already servIced. Mr. Carlberg estImated It would take about eIght hours of hIs tIme plus photocopyIng. The Counc I I suggested that the addl tlonal costs be paId by the developer. Jerry Wlndschltl - stated he would be wIllIng to pay for Staff tIme, photocopying plus TKDA engIneering costs to submIt the MInor Amendment eIther by bIllIng when I t Is fInIshed or by escrow up front. MOTION by Perry. Seconded by SmIth. that Staff prepare a MInor Amendment to the ComprehensIve Plan to Include 13 lots, Block 1 , Lots 1-13 that are a part of the proposed Weybrldge plat: and that the developer has agreed that the tIme needed for CIty Staff to complete and submi t the report as well as the TKDA tIme wIll be bIlled to the developer. MotIon carrIed unanImouslY. Regular CIty CouncIl MeetIng Minutes - January 7, 1992 Page 6 JUNKYARD LICENSE RENEWAL/RITE AWAY AUTO The Counc i I expressed frustratIon that the applIcatIon was receIved after the deadlIne, belIevIng that the yard has been operatIng since the fIrst of the year wIthout a I I cense . Attorney HawkIns advIsed the CIty has the abIlIty to prosecute for operatIng wIthout a I I cense and can refuse to grant another lIcense per the ordinance; however, It may be di ff I cu It to sustaIn that actIon, and It Is very costly. He suggested that the ordInance be amended to add a provIsIon whereby a penalty fee would be paId for late applIcatIons. Counc I I agreed, directing Staff to address the Issue of late penaltIes for these I I censes, determIne what other cItIes do for late fees, and to make a recommendation. MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by SmIth, that the CIty Council authorize a Junkyard LIcense for RIte Away Auto, I nc.. at 1856 Bunker Lake Boulevard NW for the year 1992, Issued condItIonally subject to an InspectIon by CIty Staff as to the yard meetIng all the crIteria for a lIcense. MotIon carrIed unanImously. DEERWOOD ESTATES STREET LIGHT DISCUSSION Mr. Koollck revIewed the background of the unpaId street lIght fees In Deerwood Estates and IdentIfIed potentIal solutIons, asking for dIrection from the CouncIl. There are no escrow funds for that development. It is a problem unIque to rural development. Legal counsel has advIsed that the Staff recommendatIon to transfer the outstanding amounts to the two propertIes owned by RIversIde Development would most lIkely not be upheld In court. Counc I I suggested the Attorney contact the developer. and that In the future these fees be collected eIther at the tIme of the BuIldIng PermIt or prior to issuing a CertIfIcate of Occupancy. MOTION by Perry, Seconded by SmIth, that Staff request that the City Attorney contact the developer, RIversIde Development, and attempt to collect the balances due: and that we not, at this poInt, entertaIn assessing the unpaid fees agaInst the property owners. Motion carried unanimously. HILLS OF BUNKER WEST PARK POND DREDGING Mayor Orttel noted the recommendatIon from the Park and RecreatIon CommIssIon to allow the developer to dredge the pond in HIlls of Bunker Lake West Park. He was concerned wIth havIng the shorelIne tapered so It Is not extremely danagerous, especIally because of Its proximity to the tot lot. ~_.-- ....... - Regular City Council MeetIng MInutes - January 7, 1992 Page 7 (HIlls of Bunker West Park Pond Dredging, Continued) Tonv EmmerIch. Developer - stated the Park Board had the same concerns. If the pond Is not made deep enough, weeds wIll grow In it; so they almost have to go down six feet. The concept was to Increase the capacity of the pond and create a skatIng rInk In the process. It Is not crItical to theIr development; they thought It would make the park nicer. The entIre area would not be dredged, only the lowest area of the proposed skating rink, and place the dirt outsIde of It to make It more usable. There already Is an exIstIng pond whIch goes up to the playground. In reading the Park and Recreation CommIssIon Minutes on Page 3 of theIr October 30. 1991, meetIng, there was some confusIon about the recommendation, as the MInutes do not Indicate the motIon was voted on. Council was concerned about safety and lIabIlIty. Because the City's AssIstant EngIneer, Todd Haas, was not present, and the Counc I I was not able to determine the recommendatIon of the Park Board. the Counc II agreed to table the Item to the next meetIng. Each Councllmember was encouraged to vIew the sIte prIor to dIscussIng thIs again. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT/DISTRICT 11 COMMUNITY EDUCATION MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Smith, that the CIty CouncIl approve the JoInt Powers Agreement for the Community School Program and FacilIty Use as presented; dates should be 1992, on the condItIon that it Is the understanding of the Andover CIty CouncIl that the program for 1992 Is essentially the same as It was for 1991. Mati on carr I ed unanImously. BOND CALL/DEFEASANCE Mr. Koollck reviewed the proposal regardIng the cal I , defeasance and refundIng of the 1985A and 1986A Bonds. Mr. ThIstle contacted hIm in November, 1991, that these two issues are potentIal candIdates for recaI I: and Mr. ThIstle has worked on the recommendatIon over the past five or sIx weeks. Bob Thistle. Sprlnqsted. Inc. - explaIned It Is to the CIty's advantage to consIder refunding the bonds because the current Interest rates are 8.77 and 7.7 percent. They are projectIng the new Issue on the bonds that are callable wIll be about 5.45 percent. The net savIngs to the City by undertakIng both the refundIng and the defeasance Is $112,000. Just yesterday the munIcIpal Interest rates dropped 30 and 40 basIs points, so they anticIpate the savings would be greater than that. Mr. ThIstle went Into detal I regardIng the specIfIcs of the status of the bonds, the defeasance procedure, and the refInancing of the issues. - - ,~-,-- ...-~ ... - Regular City Council Meeting MInutes - January 7, 1992 Page 8 (Bond Call, Defeasance, ContInued) Mr. Thistle recommended If the Counc II sets the sale thIs evening, that It take place on February 4, 11:30 a.m., wI th the Counc I I actIng on It at that evenIng's meetIng. Sprlngsted, Inc. , assumes the rIsk for their expenses i f the Counc II chooses to not proceed with the proposal up unti I February 4. If they set sale thIs evening and then cance I , it wi II cost the CIty about $4,000 for obtaInIng a Moody's rating. The tota I Issuance cost to Sprlngsted, whIch Is about $40,000 for the two Issues, defeasance costs, and bond counsel, Is already taken out of the estimated $112,000 savIngs to the CIty. There Is no out-of-pocket costs to the CIty. Mr. ThIstle thought the February 4 date would be advantageous to the CIty In terms of what the market wIll be doIng. Attorney HawkIns stated he has been workIng wIth another fInancIal consulting fIrm who looked at these Issues last summer and agaIn thIs past fall. At that tIme they felt the rates dId not warrant recallIng the bonds. SInce then the rates have dropped drastIcally and they were going to analyze It agaIn after the fIrst of the year. The fIrm has not charged the CIty for lookIng at the Issues, and they are requesting the CouncIl gIve them the opportunIty to prepare a report and subml t It In two weeks. Counc I I dIscussion wIth Mr. ThIstle was on the advantages and dIsadvantages of recallIng and defeaslng the bonds, speculation on the interest rates, the timIng of the sale, and the costs of the financial consulting firm for the refundIng and defeasance of the bonds. It was then agreed to table the Item for two weeks to allow the firm that Attorney HawkIns had been workIng wIth to submit theIr report. Counc I ] recessed at 9:38; reconvened at 9:47 p.m. ORDER AD FOR BIDS/REFURBISH 4881 FIre ChIef Glenn SmIth asked for authorIzatIon to advertIse for bIds to refurbIsh 4881. The FIre Department has been workIng on thIs for abou t three years. The specs have been wrItten to eIther refurbIsh the truck or to put In all new cabInetry In the back. The estimated cost of $35,000 Is antIcIpated to come from the PIR funds. Discussion was on the use of PIR funds for thIs Item. ChIef SmIth stated It was the Department's understandIng that that portion of the PIR funds resultIng from overpayments to the 1978 FIre Department bond would be used for the FIre Department/PublIc Works BuIlding and for refurbIshIng 4881. Several Councllmembers dId not think there had been promIses made to that effect and were concerned about usIng the PIR funds for other than emergency-type sItuatIons. Regular CIty CouncIl Meeting .- .-....-- --~ .. - Regular CIty Council MeetIng Minutes - January 7, 1992 Page 9 (Order Ad for BIds/Refurbish 4881, ContInued) MOTION by Perry, Seconded by Jacobson, that the Counc I 1 authorIze the Fire Department to solIcIt bIds for the refurbIshIng of UnIt 4881 and also that Staff be directed to research the MInutes to determine the Intent of the CouncIl at the tIme that the PIR Fund was established and the excess from the 1978 Bond Issue was allocated to the PIR Fund. DISCUSSION: Staff supplIed a copy of the November 20, 1990, CouncIl Minutes, from whIch Mayor Orttel read an excerpt of the dIscussIon. The refurbIshIng of 4881 was mentIoned for the use of those funds along with the work to be done on the FIre Department/Public Works buIldIng and the possIbIlIty of movIng the Fire Department to the pole buildIng. The Council made no motion to that effect. MotIon carrIed unanImously. ChIef SmIth explaIned they purchased new breathIng apparatus last spring with the Intent of sellIng the exIstIng equIpment. SInce then a commIttee has placed an ad In the "MInnesota Smoke Eater" for the sale of that equIpment, bIds to be opened on February 15. Counc I I agreed. Councllmember McKelvey asked that the CouncIl be provIded copIes of the monthly FIre calls. ChIef Smith apologIzed for not havIng done so and stated he wIll see that It gets done. Those reports come from the Fire Marshall.
