Robert Osmundson appeared before the Council regarding the Ordinance.
Mark Caseialeus, explained the Snowmobile Ordinance and why there is a need.
The County Sheriff said we need something to enforce. They went to other
communities and looked at their Ordinances. They took what they thought was
appropriate. The committee stayed on safety and equipment issues. The
Ordinances were made for Residential Streets in platted areas.
Norm Freske explained that we got a letter from Senator Adkins June 6, 1994,
regarding the liability for farms who allowed snowmobiles to cross their property.
The two guys who were representing the snowmobile ordinance are working with
Tom Constant regarding snowmobile trails. They included 4 wheelers, mopeds, etc.
in the ordinance. Radzwill Law office helped with the Ordinance. The biggest
problems are with kids riding these vehicles. They talked about riding on right-of-
ways. Staying on the side of the street and going to a trail to ride.
Ron Black suggested this Ordinance should be referred to the City Attorneys Office.
Larry Fournier questioned if they had people working on both side of this issue.

4 Gary Groen - Accountant from Abdo,_Abdo and Fick reviewed the Audit for
1993:
Gary Groen appeared before the Council with the Audit of the year ending 1993.
The first couple of pages is the overview. Pg 9, Information on Bonds that were
outstanding at the end of the year. Interest rates, Pg 10, debt service req. for the
next 5 years and the years from 1999 to the end of the bond issues. Those are being
paid by the special assessment levied. No taxes are being used for these for the most
part.
The last page shows the leasing of the City Hall.
The General Fund was discussed. Balance sheet on Pg 14, as compared to 1992 to the
end of 1993. The first five or six months of 1994 are financed with this fund balance.
This is something you need. The fund balance is about 50% of the 93 expenditures.
That should remain that way as you go forward. That is something we will be
monitoring and reporting to you.
Pgs 15, and 16, expenditures by revenue source. We have worked with changing the
chart of accounts. Next year we will be where we have the budget and actual line up
of expenditures. Pg 15, is total expenditures. Pg 16, he went over and explained.
The end of 1993 the fund balance is $319,209.00. Pg 17, and 18, We establish self
funding insurance this year. We also have accounted separately for fire, road and
bridge and park dedication. Pg 21, State Aid Const. Fund - Money from State of
Mn for Road Construction. End of the year balance was $81,134.00.

AUDIT REVIEW
The second column is the Munc. Bldg. We transferred out of the Gen. Fund, plus
the Lease. There remains the fund Bal of $164,207.00. The original source of that
was an advance of the Gen. Fund. We have made some changes the past couple of
years and worked with the chart of accounts. We have started the first of the year
with some computerization.
Gary Groen asked for any questions.
Norman F Freske asked Jerry Perrault if changing to computer is a problem. He
said Judy Hudson has been working on it.
,. .I. •� al 1' 'i. .
David Dayon is the Sewer Committee rep. for Frankfort Twp. The Committee is
requesting input from the surrounding communities. Any information that would
be helpful to them in the way of sewer studies.
Norm Freske asked how the collector system is working. Mr Turnquist said it's
too soon to tell.
Ron Black said he doesn't remember seeing a copy of the study.
Pat Swatzke said he has a copy he will leave. Norm Freske said he could not attend
the last meeting but Arleen Nagel went.
A Co. wide study was done said Mr Dayon. More discussion was had on sewer
systems and sharing services.
Mr Dayon said he is looking for a letter which will give an overview of the current
status of Otsego Sewer studies, etc.
Doug Lindenfelser asked if Frankfort is looking into putting in a system. They are
advising a Feasibility study said Mr Dayon.
Ron Black said we should have Larry Koshak provide Mr Bob Turnquist, of the
Frankfort Town Board some information.

6. OPEN FORUM:
Pat Sawatzke, Co. Commissioner, discussion on sewer. He does have a copy of the
study that was done. A quick run-down of what was in there. They got one copy
for each City and Twp. It is pretty general. Discussion on existing wastwater
treatments in the County existing on site. He explained the rest of the options
and conclusions. Wright Hennepin has recently gotten into the sewer business.
They are working in some Wright Co Communities. He said it is something we may
want to keep in mind. Another thing I want to mention to you is garbage.
Organization collection and benefits to the City. We are interested in assisting to
you. He is open to any questions. Pat Sawatzke said there has been more movement
on this. You would see substantial savings on this. Judy Rose is working with the
Sewer issue quite heavily.
7. BOB KTRMIS, NAC:
7. lames and Carrie Barthel - Transfer of property rights (1 per 40 Split):
Bob Kirmis explained a CUP to allow a 1 per 40 transfer of property Dev.
rights. He explained the location. (Exhibit B) Would enable the applicant to
construct a new single family dwelling. This is a CUP in the A -I Zoning Dist. The
Barthels currently reside in an accessory mobile home. They plan on vacating it and
moving into the new home. The PC has recommended with the eight conditions.
from NAC's report of June 6, 1994, which Mr Kirmis read.
Larry Fournier said there are quite a few points which the Engineer should
comment on. Larry Koshak had the site plan.
RON BLACK MOTIONED FOR ADOPTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION. DOUG LINDENFELSER SECONDED
THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Larry F laid they are moving the mobile home, if they decide they need it can they
keep it?.7Bob Kirmis said yes, but they will have to meet conditions.
CITY OF OTSEGO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 1994
PAGE 5
7 2. Mary Dare Bonfield - MRD Commercial Park:
Bob Kirmis explained the request. So of Co # 39 and E of Co # 42. This
Development site is proposed for a branch Bank. MRD Commercial Park is
proposed. He explained only a single lot lies out of the LeFebvre Watershed Dist.
Only that lot is being platted at this time. Rezoning from A-1 to B-3 and a
simultaneous subdivision approval.
Single lot is W of the existing Church facility with a stub of 88th St. to the South.
The whole area will be commercially developed. If the City chooses to approve the
rezoning. The single lot subdivision is subject to 10 conditions, which Bob Kirmis
read from NAC's Report. In addition to the conditions read, the City Engineer had
made some comments on the plat. One item involves the 88th St segment of the
MSA road. The City Engineer has recommended the entire segment of 88th St be
constructed. The P.C. in consideration of this, did not think the construction of the
entire segment was appropriate at this time.
Larry Koshak said that his point of view on this particular street configuration we
couldn't complete the drainage. His conclusion as well as ours is the drainage
should be carried out to the lower end of the plat. MSA. administratively, would be
more costly to do small segments of the street at a time. I would like to see it go
through the whole property. It is 665' in the first piece and 800' in the remainder,
1400 and some feet if completed. If any piece was replotted it would be subject to
extension again.
Norm F Freske explained that because of the Water & Sewer and floodplain they
felt it shouldn't be built now.
Larry Koshak felt it wouldn't be a problem or an additional cost. He said we need
to talk about how to proceed with this. If we assess by front footage they can take
care of it. Both sides of the street are assessed in equal amounts. We can work it
out now, or when the rest of the parcels are brought in.
Larry Fournier asked if we have funding in the MSA funding to do this now?
Larry Koshak said he believed so, the intersection of Odeon and Co #37 would
probably not be done now.
Larry Fournier asked how much money would be saved.?
RON BLACK MOTIONED ADOPTION ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION. LARRY FOURNIER SECONDED THE MOTION, RON
AMENDED HIS MOTION TO DELETE ITEM #4.\REZONE FROM A-1 TO B-3.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
CITY OF OTSEGO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13,1994
PAGE 6
RON BLACK MOTIONED TO APPROVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION
RECOMMENDATION. REGARDING PRELIMINARY AND FINAL
APPROVAL OF THE ONE LOT M.R.D. COMMERCIAL PLAT. DOUG
LINDENFELSER SECONDED THE MOTION, MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.
Andy MacArthur said he was called about the waiving of the assessment when no
costs are in.
LYNN CASWELL said filling out the property on Hwy # 101 is prohibitive. The
amount of material is quite high. We are looking at sliding 88th ST S.W. Maybe
some of the lowland could be used as part of those lots. We would be interested in
extending 88th to the S line. The plat that you have before you is one that would
reflect the extention of 88th and curve to the bluffline. They would like to continue
on with approval, in that we would like to have the street be further to the West.
Larry K said he didn't have a problem with that. It would show a modification to
the plat. There may be an additional outlot to the S side of the church property.
The plat would be modified.
Larry K said there is a ridge in there. 2 lots to the S and 2 lots to the E side of the
road.
Ron Black said he feels the P.C. made the appropriate recommendation here. There
are a number of things that need to be resolved with Outlot A. Maps need to be
changed. Until those questions are resolved it is premature to say where a street
should go. Lets address it when it happens. What is before us is doable. There are
lots of questions that need to be addressed. The City needs to talk about assessment
policies.
Larry Fournier questioned the P.C.'s Recommendation of 250' of street.
Larry Fournier said he had a concern of the water drainage.
Larry Koshak said all the water would drain onto the ditches in Co Rd #39, and end
up on #101.
Wally Klus said he wanted to address the no access on #42. We have 508' of depth
and wonder if we could have a right in - right out. If we get no access off of 42, there
would be no access and we would be landlocked. We are hurting that property.
88th ST will help the Bank property. There is a shared roadway between the
church and bank property. There was more discussion of road access. There is
access there now. We would like you to look at those two items. We did not have the
(11) eleven conditions in advance. We want to comment on them now. We noticed
Item #4 is asked to be removed. We appreciate it.
#5. Co.39 & Co.42 right of way dedication. What does that amount to?
#6. Already discussed.
#7. This property is in floodplain, but not the Wild and Scenic as I understand.
CITY OF OTSEGO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 1994
PAGE 7
Grading and drainage plan is in Park and Rec. dedication that deals with
commercial land.
Bob Kirmis said the question is a trail corridor along #42. The City has a trail
planned.
Wally Klus asked if the City has a proposed Developers Agreement? Bob said we
are working on one at the Staff level now.
Larry K said they discussed the roads at length with the Co. Engr. It was their best
judgment that access would not be allowed in that area. The Co. sees the trends of
build up congestion at the intersection. (He explained further). The Co Engr could
give you more detailed answers on that.
Wally Klus said there is an access point there now.
Ron Black said it is City and Co policy to limit the proliferation of accesses. The
P.C. specifically adopted this and did not discuss additional accesses. We could
refer that back to the P.C. -
Doug Lindenfelser said you brought up landlocked land. The P.C. did not discuss
that. It was not an issue.
Wally Klus said if we have to recurve 88th ST that may take care of it.
Bob Kirmis said the plat before the council involves the Lot 1, Block 1. The
provision of the Moratorium is the City cannot accept anymore land within that
moratorium area. He felt it was premature to be talking about configurations.
73. Any other Planning Business:
8. ANDY MAC ARTHUR. CITY ATTORNEY:
81. Bonding of Municipal Well fiscussioiu
Andy MacArthur explained. Bond for 5 years and refinance with a straight revenue
bond later. The cost for Kennedy is $1,500.00. 4-1/2 to 5% for the 5 year bond.
Larry Fournier said maybe there is an alternative source of financing. They will
finance for up to 40 years and interest rate is 5%. It may be worth looking into.
There is no $1,500.00 there. Wright Hennepin Electric would help us apply.
Larry explained the expenditure between now and September.
Ron felt we should have Andy check into it. He will contact Neil McMillian at
Wright Hennepin Electric.
RON BLACK MOTIONED AND LARRY FOURNIER SECONDED TO HAVE
ANDY MACARTHUR CHECK WITH NEIL MCMILLIAN REGARDING BOND
WITH WRIGHT HENNEPIN ELECTRIC AND A COMPARISON. MOTION
CARRIEb UNANIMOUSLY.

Andy explained the School District information draft agreement on the Well, etc.
We will copy the information for the Council and put it on the next Council Meeting
June 27, 1994. Larry Koshak explained the difference.
Doug Lindenfelser questioned the drainage into the private ditch. Larry K. said we
will talk about that later.
8.2. New C" Hall Facilities, ns urance Discussion:
Andy MacArthur said the Ducks Unlimited and Lions are not at the level of
coverage required by the City. Nobody has the proper coverage now. He wants to
know if the Council wants to reconsider. Norm Freske asked if one million would
cover ? Max Downs, Representative for Ducks Unlimited said they have reviewed
the Cities regulations for one million dollars. The most coverage available for local
organizations, for church groups, for one day event is $500,000.00. Any
organization can get up to one million dollars. It takes a lot of liquor sold to make
any money. It is not feasible for us with the current limits. I am proposing the
Council to take a look at what they are asking and do an amendment for non-profit
organization. He is proposing $500,000.00 be amended to that figure.
Larry Fournier said the Attorney recommended one and 1/2 million. Andy
MacArthur the original Ordinance was written for the bars. We did not have the
facility then. He views it as a policy decision. I could try to tighten up the
indemnification agreements. It is purely a policy decision. It is a monitory decision
and most other cities are not at the level that we are said Andy MacArthur. More
discussion was had.
Ron said we would have to hold a hearing to amend the Ordinance to $500,000.00
limit to non-profit organizations. They would have to demonstrate they were
legitimate. We would get Dan Greene's reaction and the public's reaction.
He has a fact sheet and information on the Ducks Unlimited Organization.
RON BLACK MOTIONED TO SET THE HEARING FOR AN ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT TO ADDRESS THE INSURANCE POLICY LIMITS FOR 501C3
NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FOR OUR NEXT MEETING ON JUNE -27-94
AT 8P.M. FLOYD RODEN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED
4 TO 1 WITH LARRY FOURNIER OPPOSED.
8 3. Consider Mayor's Term being changed_fr_om two to four year term:
June 21st is the deadline to have the Mayoral term changed said Andy MacArthur.
Doug Lindenfelser said he talked with Albertville and the people he talked to
said they felt a two year term was a better variety.
Norm Freske said when you make a commitment you have to commit. He did not
bring this up. Larry Fournier said for the record he brought it up. When we were a
Twp. the supervisors all had the same term. I don't think there was a problem with
that. As a Council all Council Members have 4 year terms, the Mayors term is two
years.
CITY OF OTSEGO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 13, 1994.

LARRY FOURNIER MOTIONED TO CHANGE THE TERM FROM 2 YRS

MOTION, MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ron Black said maybe we could notice this for public comment for a Hearing so
people can come in and say something about it. Floyd Roden agreed. Norm Freske
said it has been on the last 4 Council Meetings. Larry Fournier said people that
have contacted him did not feel it was a problem either way. It was in the paper.
Doug Lindenfelser said he would like to have the people have the chance to decide
that.
Andy MacArthur said legally and technically the Mayor did not have to abstain on
voting.
8 4. Discussion of block parties and Ordinance:
Andy explained that we don't have any form of permit or control on this right now.
He provided an ordinance they used in Oak Grove. There are two ways to go here.
You can direct the City Staff to go ahead and draft a permit or look at a specific
Ord. We have to have something.
Floyd asked Andy what his thoughts are on the Ord. Andy said you may want to
look at the liability. If the City is to issue permits, there should be liability
Insurance. You need to determine what is a large event.
Ron Black said we should have the City Staff put together a Permit with the
appropriate disclosures and a nominal fee. Elaine can draft this and send it to Andy
to approve it legally.
RON BLACK MOTIONED TO HAVE ANDY MAC ARTHUR WRITE UP A
PERMIT WITH THE FEE OF $15.00. FLOYD RODEN SECONDED THE

9.4. Report on Visit by Dan Lais, DNR Hydrologist:
They visited with Ms Carron and her property.
a, Halls Pond Watershed
Ms LuConic let them look over her property. He would not like the watershed
changed. The overflow should remain the way it is now. We would need a permit
from the DNR to dump into Mr Anderson's property. He preferred it to be handled
thru the Halls area. Dan Lais felt it was part of the natural watershed. If we feel
different we have to document it.
Mr Wiltermuth asked if Mr Lais had any comment on the flowage of water from
90th and O'Brian. Did he look at the culvert? Larry K said he looked at the items
he had time to look at in the area. Norman F Freske said we ordered topals and we
will set an informational hearing for the area on the topo information.
b. LeFebvre Watershed
They -visited with Fabian Sadowski. The creek needs no maintenance.
•
c. Rice/Foster Lake Watersheds
The water level could not be lowered said Mr Lais. They visited with Mr. Mark
LeFebvre, Jim LeFebvres Son.
Mr LeFebvre also called Larry Koshak on the way the School was discharging water
into the ditch. He felt this was a private ditch and the people who constructed the
ditch should be compensated. (Larry K explained further). Discussion with the
Council was had.
9 5 Order_Feasibility Study for MSA Streets., QuadayAve (CSAH 37
to CSAH 42) & 88th ST (CSAH 42 East approx. 650 ft):
Larry K. explained that he talked to Mr Dwyer and he said the bank is OK with
assessments as long as they are reasonable. We need the feasibility study to talk
about the cost of what that would be. One option is no assessments. The second
option is the landowners waive the appeal and assessments and the Hearing. They
would have to all agree. We have the Church, Bank and Ms Baufield. The third
option is to prepare a feasibility study for 88th ST and hold a hearing on these issues
with the property owners. We need some idea on the assessment policy.
Larry F. said we asked the City Atty. to work on the assessment manual. Andy
MacArthur said he would have something by the next meeting. Commercial is
different than Residential said Larry K. We could set the Hearing date for July 25,
1994 and approve plans and specs late in Aug. Award project late September. We
would need to move along.
Ron Black - you are saying figure out cost, and figure out policy for commercial
property assessments.

Larry K. explained that there are erosion problems there. Some of the facilities are
being eroded. Soon some of the runoff will go directly down the washout area.
There is a need to stop that erosion.
One suggestion is put groins in the washout. The issue is can the Corps find money
to do that work. They will continue the study to try and find money. The County
will do some Maintenance.
b. Elk River WWTF E.A.W.
We would address the issue about conditions of regional Wastewater treatment for
the area and water quality of the river, said Larry K.
