Councilmembers present: Sheri Bukkila, Don Jacobson, Mike Knight, Julie Trude Councilmember absent: None Also present: City Attorney, Scott Baumgartner Director of Public Works /City Engineer, Dave Berkowitz City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Community Development Director, Will Neumeister Others PLEDGE OFALLEGL4NCE PROCLAMATION — DOMESTIC VIOLENCE A WARENESS MONTH Mayor Gamache declared October 2009 Domestic Violence Awareness Month and read the proclamation. RESIDENT FORUM Mr. Mike Cox, 4681 161" Lane NW, stated he is at the meeting to inquire about the reason why the Fire Department in Andover no longer responds with fire apparatus to residential or commercial fire alarms in the City. Mr. Dickinson indicated it is dependent on the discretion of dispatch as to what needs to be sent out dependant on the call received. Mr. Cox thought this was a dangerous trend happening in the County and he knew they were facing budget cuts but the amount of fire calls has gone up in recent years, some with false alarms but there is a percentage that still comes in with alarms that are real fires. He thought this is a huge disservice to the citizens in the City that pay taxes expecting a fire truck and it has never been communicated to anybody that this is the process. © Mr. Cox reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with the City in regard to fire alarms and response time. Councilmember Jacobson indicated both he and Councilmember Knight were not aware that the Fire Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 2 Department were not responding to these types of calls. He thought they should have the Fire Chief come in and explain this to the Council. Mr. Dickinson stated part of what is going here is the information that is received at dispatch. If there is a fire or signs of fire they will dispatch fire apparatus to the scene immediately. Councilmember Bukkila stated it was her understanding that it was only for medicals that they were going through Allina and bypassing Anoka Dispatch. Mr. Dickinson stated that has yet to be implemented at this time. The Fire Chief is just monitoring this and making notes to determine if this is what the Fire Department will do in the future. Mr. Dickinson explained the reason for a reduction in the Fire Department budget is the reduction in fire aid from the State, that number is projected to be about $40,000 less. Councilmember Jacobson stated they need the explanation so they know what is being done or what he is proposing to do. Mr. Cox stated the false alarms have been going down over the years and the issue is if the City was going to risk a life because of this. Mayor Gamache stated by sending out someone to assess the situation that is already in the area and could get there quicker than a Fire truck may be a useful tool. Mr. Dickinson stated that Mr. Cox's point relative to budget cuts within the Fire Department is not accurate as described. The significant cut within the Fire Department has been on flow through money from the State. The Fire Department is and will continue to be very well equipped in the budget. One of the directive items from the Council was not to compromise public safety. As the budgets are currently presented, the two areas not impacted are the Sheriff's Contract and the Fire Department. He did not think it was a fair statement to say they are making significant cuts to public safety. Mayor Gamache stated he would be interested to hear if this is a policy they are going with and if it is have they done this in the past, has this been their standard operating procedure for a period of time and if it is they were not aware this was how it worked. Mr. Dickinson stated a lot of what takes place on fire alarms has to do with how it goes through dispatch. The Council thought the best thing to do was to hear from the Fire Chief regarding this. AGENDA APPROVAL There were no changes. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes – September 15, 2009 Page 3 APPROVAL OFMINUTES August 25, 2009, Workshop Meeting: Correct as amended. Councilmember Trude stated Commissioner Sabel's name is spelled wrong in the minutes. Councilmember Jacobson stated on page 6, line 15, the line should read "— substantially under what is advertised and is expensive to install." Councilmember Trude stated on page 8, line 11, the dates should read "2010- 2014" Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. September 1, 2009, Regular Meeting: Correct as amended. © Councilmember Trude stated on page 6, line 29 the word should be "accept ".

Line 36 the word "most" should be replaced with " some " Councilmember Jacobson stated on page 3, line 12, the word sighting is spelled wrong. Councilmember Trude stated at the beginning of the meeting minutes, page 4, she did not have time to compare her correction of the minutes of August 18 to see if it fit what she was trying to say. She asked if someone could pull up the record to see that it is correct. Mr. Dickinson stated the motion was restated and that was what was voted on. He indicated the correction was correct. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to approve the minutes as indicated above. Motion carried unanimously. CONSENT ITEMS Item 2 Approval of Claims Item 3 Declare Cost/Order Assessment Roll /09- 2/2009 Street Reconstruction (See Resolution R069 -09) Item 4 Approve Contract for School Liaison/Anoka- Hennepin School District #11 Motion by Trude, Seconded by Bukkila, approval of the Consent Agenda as read. Motion carried unanimously. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 4 ANOKA COUNTYSHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT MONTHLYREPORT Captain Tom Wells, Anoka County Sheriff's Department, provided an update on law enforcement activities occurring within Andover. CONSIDER CONDITIONAL USEPERMITAMENDMENT /EXTENDAPPROVAL OFLAND RECLAMATION /2748 —161 AVENUE NW Mr. Neumeister explained the applicant has an existing permit for stockpiling up to 3,000 cubic yards of topsoil on the subject property. The permit will expire in December of this year. The applicant is requesting to extend this permit for an additional three years. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Bukkila, to approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit amendment. Councilmember Jacobson asked if conditions might have changed in regard to the natural gas line and is this still a good letter. Mr. Neumeister stated they are still in agreement and the letter is still good. Councilmember Jacobson suggested on the resolution on the Now Therefore It Be Resolved, Item two the sentence read "The permit shall be limited to three years and shall expire December 1, 2012 or when the stock pile have been depleted, whichever is sooner Councilmembers Knight and Bukkila accepted the change. Mr. Rocky Lindberg, Forest Lake Contracting, 14777 Lake Drive, Forest Lake stated they would like to have this remain at three years because it is nice to have the area for stock piling for small j obs and to sell to the local residents. Councilmember Knight agreed to go back to the original motion without Councilmember Jacobson's amendment. Councilmember Bukkila accepted the change. Councilmember Jacobson stated if there is still a stockpile there it would continue but if there is no stockpile it would expire and he did not think that the resolution modification would have hurt them at all. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R070 -09) CONSIDER CITY CODE AMENDMENT/EDUCATIONAL PETTING ZOO Mr. Neumeister explained a resident presented an idea for animal therapy for special needs students © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 5 to the City Council at the July 23` Work Session. Councilmember Trude thought they all wanted at least five acres. Councilmember Jacobson stated he had a question about the word "animal therapy" being used because there is no definition of that and that could be a lot of different things to a lot of different people. He stated with no definition it could open this up to a lot of different businesses. Councilmember Knight asked if they should have a definition in there. City Attorney Baumgartner stated if they are going to add anything they will need a definition. Councilmember Trude wondered if they could use the term "animal related business" as part of the code and talk about animal related businesses other than a kennel or an active farm would require five acres minimum, adequate space for accessory structure for animal's protection and care and any required Government licenses and a Conditional Use Permit. They have other code provisions for kennels and active farms. Councilmember Trude discussed some of the issues that will be involved with animal related � businesses. � Councilmember Jacobson thought this was almost like a spot zoning which opens up a lot of things that they are going to have to change a lot of conditions as they go through the ordinances to make sure everything is clear and he thought that will be a real hassle. He thought this opened up a Pandora's Box. Councilmember Knight thought they would need to have something defined for this type of business and he would leave it up to the attorney to do that. City Attorney Baumgartner thought they needed to determine what it is they want to encompass. They need to decide if they want to be broad to allow more businesses or more restrictive and only allow a petting zoo. He cautioned the Council to not be overly broad because there are a lot of things out there they are not aware of and it is easier to add to the Code than to make a mistake from the beginning. Councilmember Trude stated they already have dog kennels under this ordinance and they already have farms. They are exempt from a lot of the code and they have riding stables but they also have people with two and a half acres that can have a horse but they have home occupations that need three acres or more so they are not really letting people with two and a half acres have a riding stable for example, they have to have a farm. She thought there was a concern on how they deal with the active farms and she thought they could put in the code that agricultural lands are not subject to home based occupation ordinances because they typically have not regulated farming and do not want to. ® Councilmember Knight noted this is definitely not an agricultural business so they should differentiate that right up front. City Attorney Baumgartner agreed. This is not agricultural, it is an actual business. The concern is if the Council allowed this to happen or turned their back and let it happen do they potentially open themselves up to liability or responsibility if something should © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 6 happen. He stated this is different than farming, a different nature of a business. Councilmember Trude asked if it was clear that their current farms did not fit into this. City Attorney Baumgartner stated they would not need to look at the property being used but at the intent of how the property is being used and should be focused on. Motion by Jacobson to concur with the Planning Commission recommendation that no changes to the City Code be made and that any future proposal be reviewed under City Code 12 -9 -3. The motion failed for lack of second. Councilmember Trude thought they needed a provision as she suggested earlier and she would be willing to look at the City Code. Changing some things for the animal protection, care, liability issues could be addressed and parking would have to be adequate if the public was invited so it would have to cover a number of things but she could see other things popping up in the community. People are raising their kids in an urban setting now and they really want their children to have these opportunities to see animals. She thought there could be other business plans that develop and could © be successful in Andover. Councilmember Knight stated he did not have any problems with the idea of a petting zoo, it is just that he thought they had to be aware that when there are little kids with animals that bite and kick occasionally and do other things there has to be some way to deal with the safety and liability issues because they exist. Councilmember Trude did not think that was necessarily a City's obligation, staff may have to look at that. She thought there was a certain personal obligation people need to have when they go to these places. Councilmember Bukkila thought at some point there is a personal responsibility either to the property owner or to the person acting and she did not think the City should get involved in that. Mr. Neumeister indicated in the staff report it shows the applicant will acquire all the essential insurance and would reclassify the business as a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) so the Council could make a stipulation to that effect to include proper insurance and liability coverage. Mr. Neumeister thought they would want to tighten down their ordinance as to what would be allowed and even may want to be more specific as to the type of business. Mr. Neumeister reviewed some issues on page twelve in the staff report with the Council. He thought the issues should be discussed. Councilmember Trude thought this was worth the effort to discuss further at a worksession to add something to the Code for this type of business. The Council discussed some other potential items that could be affected by a change in the City Code. ® Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 7 Councilmember Jacobson stated he was reluctant to change the City Code in order to allow kids to go to a business to pet animals during the school day. He thought this will be more complicated then they think once they delve into this further and he wondered if it would be worth it. Councilmember Trude thought they should take the time to review this because she would not want this in a residential area so it should be five acres or more and she thought once this was discussed and changes were made it will all work out. Motion by Trude, seconded by Knight, to direct staff to help the Council craft a new code provision to fit some of the discussion. Motion carried on a 4 ayes, 1 nay (Jacobson) vote. CONSIDER COMMUNITY GARDEN L0TS Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to consider community garden plots in city park areas and/or other city owned property as requested by the Park Commission. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to direct staff and the Park Commission to come up with rules and regulations. Councilmember Jacobson asked if they can take a city park and put in something like this and rent them out. City Attorney Baumgartner stated it may depend on what the dedication is and how restricted it is to begin with. Councilmember Bukkila asked if they could look at a minimum size in terms of not seeing it in a neighborhood park. Mr. Berkowitz stated they could look at that and try to find more remote areas for this type of thing. Councilmember Bukkila asked what the cost factor would be with irrigation because if there will be an expense to the City she would be hesitant to approve this but if they could zero out the costs she would be in favor of this. Mr. Berkowitz stated they will bring back more details on what the estimated costs would be to provide the service. Motion carried unanimously. DECLARE COST /ORDER ASSESSMENT ROLL 108- 371157 AVENUE NW RECONSTRUCTION (MSAS 102) Mr. Berkowitz stated the City Council is requested to declare the cost and order preparation of the assessment roll for Project 08 -37, 157"' Avenue NW Construction (MSAS 102). Councilmember Jacobson stated the payment schedule is based on the assessment manual before they made some changes a couple of months ago and one of the changes is a reduction based © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 8 upon the ADT traffic and he wondered if that has been applied to 157 Avenue. Mr. Berkowitz stated ADTs are difficult at this point because what they have are 2008 numbers and one section of that roadway right now is under one thousand. The ADTs are not over the two thousand threshold at this point and would not apply at this time. Councilmember Jacobson thought that when they did the ADT numbers they took this road into consideration. Mr. Berkowitz stated one section of this is extremely close and looking at the 2008 numbers a section of that road is probably over the two thousand threshold. They also look at two thousand vehicles a day as a minor collector. Mr. Dickinson thought the counts might be artificially low because of less construction in 2008. Councilmember Jacobson asked if they applied the 2008 numbers to this project would the numbers go down. Mr. Berkowitz stated it would not but it is up to the discretion of the Council. They could leave it at twenty -five or go down to a lesser amount. Councilmember Trude thought she drafted the language and it was in their consent items a month ago and the language was that the Council could reduce the total amount assessed or assess a smaller amount than the normal policy if they felt, and there were three or four points to consider, how was the road used, where was the traffic originating, where is it going to, are there other streets feeding onto the road, what is the role it serves in the community. So there are some different factors and she thought all of those factors apply and allows the Council to determine it is not an ordinary road and they may choose to go off the policy, which would require it to stay at twenty -five percent. Councilmember Trude stated one of the other sides of that statement they approved was that they could look at whether they assessed all the properties as just a flat number or whether they would look at potential lots. She stated they always looked at this project at potentially developable lots and they cannot really switch that at this point. Councilmember Jacobson recalled they talked about the assessment for potential lots disappearing or going downhill after fifteen years. Mr. Dickinson explained how this would work. He stated when talking about costs they are declaring costs and are not reducing the costs of the project. The assessment is determined by a percentage of total project costs and even if they do deviate, they are still following the policy because the policy allows the Council discretion in certain situations. Councilmember Jacobson stated right now if they just declare the costs of the project that is set in stone but it is a matter of how much they assess and if they send out letters right now under the current policy, they would be sent out based on the twenty -five percent level. If they chose to do something different it would seem they should perhaps consider doing that before the letters are sent out. Councilmember Jacobson stated they need to make sure they do not reduce the percentage so © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 9 much that the assessment is so far below what other people are paying for a normal street that they run into trouble. They need to be aware of what the previous assessments have been. Councilmember Trude stated if they look back at the minutes where they talked to the neighborhood and in that motion they talked about the stuff they would look at and she saw that was kind of the Council's offer to the neighborhood. She thought they should look at that as they answer this question tonight. She thought staff was willing to work with people individually and preparing it at a ten year assessment looks like a reasonable number but if people wanted to bump it up to twelve the City could still fund it. Councilmember Bukkila thought they all needed to be the same. Councilmember Trude thought with this project, being so large, she asked whether we were financing this internally or going to the bank for a bond. Mr. Dickinson indicated they will be using the permanent improvement revolving fund but will be utilizing the interest rate established by a bond issue from earlier this year. He stated they would recommend that the interest rate be at 4.5% since that is what they proposed to other development and the lowest rate they were able to achieve on their bonds was 3.5% and their policy indicates one percent above that. Councilmember Trude indicated that was item three, which was to institute the lowest interest rate, which is 4.5 %. Number one was they would look at assessing ten to twelve years instead of the normal eight. Councilmember Trude wondered if someone wanted to do a twelve year, could they do that. Mr. Dickinson stated his preference would be to do the same across the board but if the Council wanted this that could happen. Councilmember Trude stated she would propose ten years tonight and use the twenty percent assessment amount because they talked about reducing the assessment to about twenty percent which would take five percent off. Mr. Dickinson noted the potential new lots have been evaluated. The Council discussed with staff the lots with potential for splitting along with deferring the potential split. Councilmember Trude stated if they follow this then the people in the urban lots would be assessed $896. 32 at 4.5% interest rate in a ten year payment. Each year they would pay $113 and on the rural side their total assessment would be for one lot $3,074.78; an annual payment on the ten year plan would be $388.59. If they have multiple lots they would not get a bill for those until they would split the lot and then they would get a bill for the other potential lots. Mayor Gamache summarized the discussion and concluded the Council decided on 4.5% interest rate and the main reason for the change to the twenty from the twenty -five was relative to the traffic of the road and the access traffic being similar to a collector street with access to Highway © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 10 65 on the east side of the City. Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Knight, to approve the resolution declaring cost and directing the preparation of the assessment roll for Project 08 -37, 157 Avenue NW Reconstruction (MSAS 102) based on this evenings discussion. Motion carried unanimously. (See Resolution R071 -09) RESCUED VLE NO VEMBER 3, 2009 COUNCIL MEETING The Council is requested to reschedule the November 3, 2009 City Council meeting. Motion by Knight, Seconded by Jacobson, to reschedule the November 3, 2009 City Council Meeting for November 4, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Motion by Jacobson, Seconded by Trude, to schedule an EDA Meeting for October 6, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. SCHEDULE OCTOBER WORKSHOP The Council is requested to schedule a City Council Workshop at 6:00 p.m. on October 27, 2009 City Council meeting.

ADMINISTRATOR REPORT City Administrator deferred to Fire Chief Winkel so that he could respond to the questions raised at the Resident Forum. Fire Chief Dan Winkel explained to the Council issues brought up at the resident forum at the beginning of the meeting. He explained the officer group have met at three different sessions reviewing the different types of alarms they respond to as a Fire Department and they did that because they then turn it into their communications people and when they get a certain type of alarm they have to review this or at least have in their mind what type of responses they are Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 11 looking for, whether it be one station, all stations or a duty officer. As Council is aware they have implemented a duty officer program that does respond to some types of calls, not necessarily alarms. He stated he would be more than willing to discuss with the Council the guidelines they have developed. Councilmember Jacobson asked what would be the response if they got notification from the alarm company telling them they have a fire alarm in a home. Fire Chief Winkel stated under the current guidelines, just an alarm with nothing visible, they had no other information they would respond to this with a duty officer and that is what is currently happening out there. Councilmember Jacobson asked if the Fire Department just started doing this or has that been the policy for a long time. Fire Chief Winkel indicated they have had the guideline in place for quite awhile. The duty officer program has been stepped up and has solidified within the last four months. Fire Chief Winkel reviewed some of the fire calls with the Council. Councilmember Bukkila asked when the duty officer primarily responds. Fire Chief Winkel stated it is now twenty -four hours a day for certain types of calls. Councilmember Knight stated the concern the resident was expressing was if there was someone in the home incapacitated and the fire alarm went off and could not get to the phone with a bonafide fire by the time things went into motion it may be too late. Fire Chief Winkel indicated that was a possibility but hoped that did not happen. Mayor Gamache asked how many duty officers are at the stations. Fire Chief Winkel stated they have one duty officer assigned every day twenty- four /seven and it rotates between all of their officers and they switch once a week. They also have a back up officer assigned. Councilmember Jacobson asked how they use the Sheriff s squad cars that may be in the area or does the Fire Department use them at all. Fire Chief Winkel stated the Sheriffs squad cars almost always respond to these calls. Generally speaking they have a squad car responding. Fire Chief Winkel thought it was important that they have made an attempt to stream line their responses that is appropriate yet not risking the safety of their residents. He stated a report will be put together for discussion at the Council level in regard to some of the medical calls they are responding to and if they should reduce some of those kind of calls and at that point he thought it would be appropriate to follow up on this discussion regarding duty officers. City Administrator Dickinson updated the Council on the administration and city department activities, meeting reminders, CIP Projects and development activity. Community Development Director Neumeister updated the Council on development activities in the City. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — September 15, 2009 Page 12 Director of Public Works /City Engineer Dave Berkowitz updated the Council on engineering items in the City.
