Linda Kadlec, of Northwest Animal Control in Champlin,
appeared before the Council in regard to providing service to
the City of Otsego. She said she is currently providing
service to Dayton, Champlin, Osseo and Corcoran. She works
closely with the Hennepin County Sheriff and anticipates
being able to work with the Wright Co Sheriff as well.
She said she charges a fee of $275.00 per month and this
would include impounding charges, vet expenses and
euthanizing. She would do patrolling and respond to calls
and would expect to be able to respond to calls within an
hour from her kennel located in champlin. She said she would
fill out impounding forms and issue citations but would not
collect the fines. Instead she would turn the forms over to
the City Office who would do the fine collecting. All fines
would have to be paid before the dogs could be released. She
carries all her own insurance coverage including liability
and vehicle coverage.
Larry Fourier asked her how many calls a day she gets.
She replied that she spends about four hours (4) per day in
Champlin and the rest of the day in other Communities. Some
days she is quite busy, other days she gets no calls at all.
Attorney Bill Radzwill commented that he had examined
her contract and found it acceptable.
Motion by Floyd Roden to hire the services of Northwest
Animal Control (Linda Kadlec) and approved her issuing
citations. Seconded by Larry Fournier, all Council Members
voted in favor of the motion.
Dr. Gilgenbach had suggested having a licensing day for
dogs at his Clinic and on this day he would give rabies shots
at a reduced rate.
Mrs Kadlec said she thought this was a good idea.
Motion by Ron Black to proceed with arrangements to have
a Licensing Day. Seconded by Doug Lindenfelser, all Council

Mrs Kadlec renewed the Otsego Dog Control Ordinance and
commented that the fine schedule was higher than most
Communities, however she suggested leaving it the same for
now.
Donald Huss, who lives on 87TH St, asked the City
Council about the possibility of getting dust control on 87TH
ST and also complained about the speeding on the street.
Norman F Freske said the City would like to do a lot more
dust control, but it is very expensive, about $2,400.00 per
mile. Mr Huss said he would like to have 87TH ST blacktopped
and would be willing to circulate a petition to the residents
in regard to requesting it blacktopped and would be willing
to circulate a petition to the residents in regard to
requesting it blacktopped. The street is about one mile in
length (1 mi.) and has 14 residences. The Council replied
they would like to see a majority of the residents in favor
of blacktopping and if so they would proceed with ordering a
feasibility study and conducting a Public Hearing on the
project.
Jane Davis, who also lives on 87TH Street, said she has
problems with flooding on her lot because the street ditch is
filled with washed in dirt. She operates a day care center
in her home and the flooding creates a hazardous condition
for her. Dave Chase said the ditch cleaning is planned for
this summer, but would need a property line drainage easement
to improve the drainage. Larry Koshak will assist him in
securing the easement.
Tom Welch and Michelle Laverenz representing Riverwood
Conference Center, appeared before the Council to say that
Riverwood is interested in obtaining a full Liquor License
and also would want to have the restaurant open to the
public. Riverwood at present has a Wine License. Bill
Radzwill advised them that they should submit their license
application and Public Hearing on the application would be
held following the submission. Issuance date of the license
would be July 1. Proof of insurance coverage is required at
the time of application. Sunday Liquor requires a referendum
approval by City voters.
Bill Radzwill advised the Council (in reference to the
interest of SKB in locating a Waste Disposal Facility in
Otsego) that they should have a Solid Waste Ordinance
prepared to protect the City in what we will accept and what
we won't accept. Basically, it would be an Ordinance of
Prohibition and it must be specific, it can not be an all
inclusive Ordinance.
Motion by Larry Fournier to request Bill Radzwill to
prepare a Waste Disposal Ordinance for the City of Otsego.
Seconded by Doug Lindenfelser, all Council Members voted in
favor of the motion.
Two representatives of the VFW of Elk River were present

the day when Otsego holds it's Great River Road Fest
Celebration. Ron Black said he had a question as to who is
sponsoring the Great River Road Fest Celebration, the City or
the Vision Committee. Elaine Beatty said the Vision
Committee has donated $1,000.00 to get the festival started
and they also have a Festival Committee. Ron Black said he
thought the Festival Committee should make the agreements
with the VFW and any other agreements needed. Financial
assistance from the City Council would be a separate item.
Regarding the Elk River Fire Protection Contract, Elaine
Beatty reported that she has been advised that Otsego is not
charged for the ladder truck or the garage expansion needed
for it. Also we are only charged for a percentage of 50% of
the Fire Chief's salary and not a percentage of his full
salary.
Regarding MSA Road Funds, MN/DOT requires each City to
submit a five year (5 yr) plan of proposed MSA Street
improvements. This plan must be submitted in May and Mr
Koshak has prepared a plan for submittal. The plan is not
rigid and can be revised from time to time if the City
Council desires. The plan he is submitting is as follows:

STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF WRIGHT, CITY OF OTSEGO, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 13, 1991 AT 7:30 PM - PAGE 4 -
RESOLUTION
Be it resolved that the City Council of the City of
Otsego hereby approves the five year (5 yr) MSA Street Plan
as prepared by Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc.
Motion was seconded by Larry Fournier, all Council
Members voted in favor of the motion.
Larry Koshak also said that 62ND and 65TH Street will be
cul-de-sacs when Hwy. 101 is built to a four land highway in
1994. An access road will need to be built from 62ND to 70TH
ST (Co 37) to accomplish this. This access road would be
Quale Ave. He estimates the coast of building this access
road to be $285,480.00 and the City paying $62,920.00.
Regarding controlling speed on 96TH ST, Larry Koshak
said 30 MPH speed limits could be put on 96TH ST with stop
signs at the intersection. He has prepared two designs for
the 96TH ST and Ohland Ave intersection in Antelope Park
Development.
Plan A would be for 96TH ST to connect with Ohland Ave
by a gradual curve with 93RD ST to the West intersecting on
the curve.
Plan B would be for 96TH ST to continue straight and
become 93RD ST in Antelope Park with Ohland Ave teeing into
96TH ST. Both plans will be submitted at the Public Hearing
on Antelope Park before the Planning Commission.
Regarding the Packard Ave project, Larry Koshak said all
the easements have been obtained and a pre -construction
meeting will be held May 15, 1991 at 1:30 PM in the City
Hall.
Bill Radzwill commented that the bonds for the packard
Ave project could be sold by negotiatign. This would be less
expense than advertising for bids.
Regarding having Larry Koshac prepare a Sewer and Water
Preliminary Cost Analysis, the City Council decided to wait
until after the May 28th Meeting with the City of Elk River
Council before making a decision on having t'e cost analysis
prepared.
The Wright Co Hwy Dept has asked if the City of Otsego
would be interested in sharing the cost of putting in
flashing signals at the junction of Co 42 and Wright Co 39.
The Council instructed Elaine Beatty to send a letter to the
Wright Co Hwy Dept requesting that stop lights be put in at
that intersection.
Motion by Larry Fournier to proceed with a drainage
survey on 87TH ST. Seconded by Doug Lindenfelser, all
Council Members voted in favor of the motion.
Regarding the new engineering contract with Hakanson
Anderson Associates, Inc, the Council discussed whether to go
on an hourly basis or on a percentage of the project basis

COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 13, 1991 AT 7:3OPM - PAGE 5 -
compared. Larry said that on the Packard Ave project, his
firm is already over budget on a percentage basis, other
projects could be less costly on an hourly basis. Bill
Radzwill commented that most Engineering Firms are hired on a
percentage basis, another alternative would be to go on an
hourly basis not to exceed a certain percentage of the
project's total cost. Larry commented that his firm also has
a Traffic Engineer Services available if needed.
