The Council discussed this issue and came to the conclusion that just because the "Wright Stuff" is free doesn't mean its a good deal and they want to know what the Park and Rec. Commission are thinking of doing, the costs, the game plan. They were concerned that once the compost is put down that there will be metals filtering out of it, the cost of removal if necessary and no indemnification from the County. Councilmember Ackerman will go to the Parks and Rec. Commission with these concerns, that they are to get permission for any filling and direct them that the Council doesn't want the "Wright Stuff" and to keep in mind that typically a Public Body is held at a higher standard. 7.4 CSAH #37 & ODean Avenue Project Agreement with Wright Co Mr. Koshak went over the report (see attached)..

PC. - Councilmember Fournier wants to address the role of alternate. He feels that the alternate should sit up at table and take part in all discussions and only votes when their is someone absent. He asked the Council how they felt about this. Councilmember Black thought that this is a good idea and another thought that if the alternate shows up first and a member is late, the alternate is the one that stays for the meeting and if the alternate participates in all discussions that alternate should vote on the issue especially if member hasn't been involved in all the discussions.

Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Otsego this day of , 1995. IN FAVOR: OPPOSED: Norman F. Freske, Mayor Elaine Beatty, City Clerk CITY OF OTSEGO ENGINEERS AGENDA ITEMS CITY COUNCIL MEETING 2/13/95 Item 7.1 Wright County Highway Department Wetlands Banking in Otsego An Otsego landowner petitioned the County to create a wetland on their property. The County Engineer had the wetland constructed and took credit for the wetland acres in the wetland banking program. Should the County Highway Department encounter a wetland mitigation issue, they can use this banked wetland to replace losthetci etreceid ves a plan of the consue to road truction asking for approval. After the work was donecity Since this was a time when implementation of the Wetland Conservation Act was just getting started the City did not have R.G.U. status (Responsible unit of government) for wetland matters in the city. We have discussed this issue with the County and asked that they share in the banked acreage with the City. After discussion with the S.W.D. or other agencies, the Wright County Highway Dept has complete banking claims on this wetland. However, since the construction of the pond the rules require the County report to the R.G.U. and other agencies on the status of the wetland. The site must develop wetland characteristic to remain in the banking program and be protected as a wetland for five years. The City as the R.G.U. must review the reports and sign off on them. If we don't sign off and participate in the review process we would not be preforming the necessary duties of the R.G.U. Since I was designated as the R.G.U. official for the City by the council, I intend to sign and submit the review to the authorities unless there is direction not to sign. Item 7.2 MN/ROAD MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Find attached a new maintenance agreement with a longer term (3 1/2 years). There was an agreement for one year in 1994 which expired in December 31, 1994. Mn/Road suggested we made it longer to eliminate renewals. In article 5 paragraph 2 the hourly rates can be adjusted each year dependent on the City's cost. I recommend the Council authorize the Mayor and clerks sign the agreement. If approved we will have Mn/Road furnish the City with the final and anyor other equipmentsuch as backhoe. elieve the Cities current rates is $100/hour for grader and operatorY Item 7.3 WRIGHT COUNTIES RIGHT STUFF (COMPOST) Neither the MPCA nor the Composting Council have problems with placing Class II Compost on the Otsego Prairie Park Site, if it is incorporated into the soils within six months. We attached a copy of a letter furnished us by the operators of the Compact facilities from the MnPCA authorizing the placement of the class 2 compost on the site. The Mn/PCA tells us that they would not issue a permit to Wright County Compost Facilities unless the Facilities met the conditions of the Class II Compact as described in the Mn Rule 7035 solid waste regulations. We believe both the Compact facilities and Mn/PGA has been adequately addressed to pollution issue. PCB's are not a concern if they are less than l Oppm.Te average of the PCB's in the Wright Stuff is 3. Lead is also a concern in any solid waste. Wright County compost Facilities claims to meet the pollution standards in all cases. We would recommend using Class II compost in a correct volume and incorporating it into the soil for grass areas in the Park. However, if the Council feels that PCB and lead tests need to be run on the compact, it would be at the City's cost approximately $400 - 600. Class I compost is the better material but is not available free. We can only recommend using 5300 C.Y. for the nine acre area of the park being improved. ITEM 7.4 CSAW 37 & ODEAN AVENUE PROJECT The plans for the project are completed and approved by the County Engineer. The County has delivered the plans to theDistrict 3 State Aid Engineer in Baxter. When approved and signed by the State Aid Engineer the plans will be sent to St. Paul at the State Aid Central Office for final approval. We also met with Dick Marquette of Wright County Highway Dept. and Howard Ellis Appraiser to complete the offers we will be making to the landowners that we are obtaining easements from and whom have damages due them due to the construction. The County will prepare the documents and we will jointly present them to the landowners. The majority of the damage and easement cost has been verbally approved by the landowners. We will hope to bid the project in the first part of April. Find enclosed a copy of the agreement prepared by Wright County for the City to consider. We have followed the present County policy in preparing the plans and quantities. The cost of construction is about a one third city and two third county split. This split is reasonable in our opinion. However, we do have a problem with the ROW costs being born entirely by the City. This issue is the only part of the agreement that I find unacceptable. The County Engineer will not deviate from the Policy and to do so the County Board would need to so direct. Therefore, I am asking for permission to appear before the County Board to present this issue in the City's favor. If authorized to attend the Board meeting, I would request that the Mayor and/or Council person(s) accompany me. ITEM 7.5 ANY OTHER ENGINEERING BUSINESS A). Otsero Creek Authority Approved expenditure of $1794 for the cross sections and engineering report for DNR review of proposed improvement. This matter was approved by the Otsego Creek Authority on February 8, 1995. Attached is our letter explaining the issue. B). Proposed Park Building Merlend Otto, whom accompanied Tom Baillargeion and Jerry Olson to the City of Landfall to inspect the Garden Center Structure prepared a hand written report on the findings. I will summarize the report here and not produce the longer report at this time. Dismantling this structure is a major undertaking. It would require cranes to lift beams and other salvageable materials. There would be a need for trucks and other equipment. The labor force would need to be skilled and semi -skilled individuals in carpentry, equipment operation and structural salvage. The length of time could be up to eight weeks to complete the salvage operation assuming 2-3 day work schedule each week. Volunteers would need to travel a long distance to get to the site from Otsego. It would take a considerable amount of dedication from volunteers. The liability issue alone appears to be considerable. Dismantling the structure takes time and skill with a great deal of safety awareness. Each piece of the structure if it is to be replicated at the park would need to be marked and recorded to place it in the location it was taken from at the site. A number of questions are unanswered about how much of the structure can be salvaged and how much needs to be demolition waste. Landfill demolition waste disposal is costly. The existing cupola is approximately forty feet by forty feet. Once the dismantled pieces are brought to the site they need to be reassembled.built at a foundation oost of $35/SF oting ors to epoured and an estimated a floor slab constructed. A new Park Structure could be $56,000 and it may be more cost effective to build a new one. It is our opinion that this is a major project and perhaps not cost effective nor achievable with volunteer labor and equipment. C.) Other miscellaneous items Halcan son Anderson Assoc., Inc.

File: OT411 Si irvevors Summary LGU Technical Panel Meeting Tuesday August 2, 1994 Members Present: Keith Grow, Mark McNamara, Dave Montebello Others Present: Paul Dedrich Area Supervisor, DNR Fisheries The Wright County Highway Department requested the Technical Panel to review Wetland Banking plan application. The County restored the sites under the WCA interim program and are now requesting that the acres be rolled over into the permanent wetland bank. Because theacres were restored under the interim program an on site review isv`by a representative of the Board of Soil and Water the DNR and the members of the Technical panel. There were 3 sites which were submittedand revieweed, all three being restorations. The Stelzer site Located SWa of . 9 T.118N.-R.26W., the Hedlund site Located SE4 of SE4 Sec. 15 T.121N.-R24W., and the third site the Yeager Park site Located NE4 of NW4 Sec 13 T.118N.-R27W. The panel made on-site inspections of the 3 sites and reviewed the existing conditions and delineations. The Panel also reviewed the application packets which were submitted. The panel and DNR representative had no qualms with the delineation of the existing sites and generally felt the 3 sites had successfully established all three of the criteria to eclassifieas edeasitn ef3-4 wetlands. The County submitted proof of pe three sites in the form of easement which have been recorded at the recorders office. The panel members had reviewed the applications packets submitted. The application calculated the total new Wetland credits which be certified would be 10.3 acres and PVC credit would be 3.2 acres. This acreage calculation also took into consideration acres ihave been used by the County for replacement for other Highway projects. Following the discussion the panel made the following recommendation. On a 3 to nothing vote the panel recommends certifying the acres submitted per the application packet after the required notification process is completed.

DEC 23 '94 14:97 PSG WRIGHT CO. 16129633784 TO: 612 427 3491 P9: PROFESSIONAL L SERVICES WRIGHT STUFF What Is the Wright Stuff? The Wright Stuff is compost produced at the Wright County Compost Facility, near Buffalo, Minnesotan The compost is made from the organic fraction derived from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or normal household trash. Row can the Wright Stuff benefit me? The Wright Stun' will add organic materials to the Soil that will enhance plant growth. It improves the water holding capacity of sandy soils and the permeability of heavy, clay type soils. It retains nutrients in the soil making them more available to plants. Many studies have shown that compost can reduce disease in various types of plants. Phytophthora, a disease found in vegetables and soybeans has diminished in areas where compost was applied. The Wright Stuff contains approximately 20 lbs/ton of nitrogen, 10 lbs/ton of Phosphorus, and 10 lbs/ton of Potassium. Beef and Dairy manure contain 21,18,26 and 9,4,10 respectively. Is the Wright Stuff safe to use? The Wright Stuff is safe to use when applied correctly to the soil. Beneficial results have come when the compost and soil are blended to a 30:1 ratio. The compost docs contain some heavy metals, however, various phosphate fertilizers contain higher concentrations of heavy metals than the Wright Stuff. The University of a Minnesota Soil Science Department has shown that compost will tie up heavy metals, therefore, lessening the chance for movement of them into vegetation and ground water.

We reviewed with Dan the data and profiles we have available in our office. We also discussed the merits of reditching the creek between 83rd Street and 87th Street. It was Dan's opinion that the first length of this segment from 83rd Street to the next property line (approx. 1320') would not benefit from reconstruction and/or realignment. However, he would consider accepting proposals for the rest of that segment to 87th Street. We also discussed reshaping the creek from 83rd Street south to the Section 30 wetland. In this discussion, Dan was recommending a permanent level control device be installed at the Section 30 wetland outlet. To provide the necessary documentation to get approvals for this work, we would need to perform the necessary surveying and engineering services. The DNR will require cross sections of the existing ditch area taken in the field. We anticipate obtaining at least six to eight sets of cross sections along with some additional topo around the outlet of Section 30 wetland. Page 2 January 17, 1995 We also discussed the removal of a 30" pipe at station 91 + 50 which is too small for the flows projected in the creek. We must then evaluate the hydrology to determine the existing and proposed channel capacity after the cross sections are taken along with the flows in this section of the creek, and then submit the finding to Dan at St. Cloud. Although we surveyed the culvert pipe for the last report, we did not take cross sections. We estimate the work as follows: Survey crew 12 hrs. @ $72/hr. $864 CADD draftsperson 4 hrs. @ $45/hr. 180 Registered engineer 12 hrs. @ $62.50/hr. 750 Total Estimate Cost Not to Exceed: $1,794 Should this work take Tess time, we will invoice only for the time spent. Should the time exceed the cost above, you will be invoiced the not to exceed amount. If you have any questions, I will be available to meet with you to explain the meeting with the Mn/DNR and the proposal.

Linda Houghton, Albertville Clerk File: OT4:1 1-9 w. s lassame ellmiammas PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Wright County Board of Commissioners NOTI&--IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the Wright County Board of Commissionerswill hold a public hearing on Tuesday February 21, 1995tt 10:.00 a.m. in, the Commissioner's Boardroom of the Wright Coun,y.,Government Center, in Buffalo to consider the adoption of a POINT-OF-SALE'CERTIFICATION ORDINANCE FOR ON-SITE SEPTIC SYSTEMS. The purpose of this ordinance will be to require that, for any property in Wright County which is served by an on-site sewage treatment system, such system must be certified to comply with current state standards for sewage treatment before the property may be sold or transferred. Such certification may be completed by the Wright County Environmental Health Division, or by any person licensed or certified by the State of Minnesota as an on-site sewage system inspector. This ordinance has been recommended to the County Board of Commissioners by the Wright County Water Management Task Force for adoption pursuant to the authority in the Minnesota Comprehensive Local Water Management Act. If you cannot attend the hearing, written comments may be submitted to: Office of Planning and Zoning Wright County Government Center 10 2nd Street N.W., Room 140 Buffalo, Minnesota 55313-1185 PLEASE NOTE: -Copies of the full ordinance are available from the Wright County Office of Planning and Zoning for reproduction cost. - This ordinance will apply to all cities and townships in Wright County, and requires that all on-site sewers must meet state standards at the time of sale. - Every property sale must include a sewer certification, which will be filed like a Certificate of Real Estate Value. If there are no buildings on the property, or it is connected to municipal sewer, then the sewer certification will require minimal information and no fee. - No filing fee is currently proposed for the certificate, but the County and private inspectors will establish fees for actual inspection and certification of on-site sewers. -When an on-site sewage treatment system exists or is required for a property, the compliance certificate must be completed by a sewage treatment inspector certified by the State of Minnesota, Pollution Control Agency. - An effective date for the ordinance has not yet been established. If it is adopted by the County Board, it is likely that there will be some time lag for the printing of forms and training and education for real estate professionals.
