ITEM 7.4
RE: Assessment Ordinance Revision
Dear Mayor and Council,
3601 Thurston Avenue
Suite 101
Anoka, Minnesota 55303
612/427-5860
612/427-0520 Fax
Attached is a recommended revised Ordinance 24 related to local improvements and
assessments. Also attached are memorandum and sketches related to assessment.
This information was provided to you in September of 1999 and has been revised
somewhat to conform to the policies and practices that are being used in the three new
sewer and water subdivisions. We have also revised the language for trunk sewer and
water area assessments with deferment of such assessments being optional.
The assessment ordinance contains all of the guidelines required. The ordinance
however, does not include hard and fast rules for all public improvements. since there
are many variations in projects and properties. The ordinance contains the criteria and
special rules to guide assessment. For any project, the engineering and feasibility report
will evaluate the unique features and recommend the specific assessment basis which
may incorporate necessary modifications to standard procedures. For all assessments,
the ordinance is to be followed except as modified by specific council resolution based
on the unique project. To the greatest extent possible, the consistency of assessment
practice as defined by the ordinance is to be followed.
Section 24-1-3 of the assessment ordinance calls for assessment of Class B trunk
sewer and water on an area basis. The option to use connection charges is specifically
referenced. The city has implemented a connection charge system, which is an
allocation based on the equivalent unit. This ordinance section calls for Class B
collector street roadway to be assessed on the basis of either frontage or units.
Collector streets have in the past been assessed by both methods. The frontage
method was used for 85th Avenue and a unit method was used for Nashua Avenue.
Section 24-1-3 also incorporates the storm sewer assessment procedures that were
adopted in March of 1995 calling for assessment on an equivalent square foot basis.

Section 24-1-4 of the assessment ordinance relates to Class C lateral water, sewer &
street improvements, calling for assessment on the basis of frontage. Many of the
special rules in the ordinance are primarily related to determination of frontage. Some
specific examples of frontage determination are included as attachments.
There is a hierarchy of assessment rules consisting of the general rules contained in
ordinance 24, the more detailed rules that are attachments to that ordinance, and finally
the very specific project rules that are reviewed in any feasibility study and adopted
concurrent with any project authorization and approval. In all instances, the ordinance
and rules specifically allow city council flexibility in making assessment so that fairness
and equity is reached.

specific areas and between the city at large and the method of levying assessments
prescribed in those sections shall be followed in each case unless the council, by resolution,
finds that because of special circumstances stated in the resolution, a different policy is
necessary or desirable in the particular case. Any local improvement described in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.02 and not placed in Class A, B or C by Section 1 shall be
financed as the council determines to be the most feasible and equitable in each case. In
each case, the council shall examine the assessment roll before approval and adjust any

development area, or other defined area are responsible for the total costs to
construct storm sewer improvements that serve the area, including lateral
facilities which are the surface water and storm sewer drainage pipes, ditches
and appurtenances that provide service to smaller or local areas and trunk
facilities. Lateral facilities can consist of portions of trunk facilities, with the
basic system costs allocated to lateral service and the portion of system cost
associated with oversizing and/or added depth as required for area service

and availability of storm sewer facilities, the municipal authority to establish
storm sewer tax districts, the municipal authority to establish a storm sewer
utility and the municipal authority to construct and assess the costs of public
improvements as a benefit to properties. Under this authority, surface water
management and storm sewer systems costs will be allocated, assessed and
paid as follows:
a) For all land use changes made under City zoning and subdivision
approval authority, properties will be responsible, at the. time of the land
use change approval, for total costs of construction of required storm
sewer improvements, for costs of providing required ponding, and for
proportionate costs of the trunk drainage system.

24-1-4: ASSESSMENT RULES FOR CLASS C IMPROVEMENTS:
A. Water and Sewer. The cost of ;Rtemal lateral water mains or necessary
appurtenances Ret exeeedi eight (8) inches in diameter and smaller in single family
residential areas and twelve (12) inches and smaller in industrial commercial or high
density residential areas and the cost a44d of lateral sanitary sewer mains not
exceeding eight (8) inches in diameter shall be assessed against abutting property on
the basis of frontage. The cost of water mains to be assessed includes the service
lines, if furnished, hydrants and valves. The cost of sewer mains includes service
lines, if furnished.
The cost of lateral sanitary sewer and water mains shall include all components or
appurtenances to make the utility complete and may include the cost of restoration
including street surfacing if such restoration is not otherwise funded
The lateral water and sewer cost shall include the cost of extending the facilities from
where the existing sewer may end to the properties to be served and to the far end of
those properties as necessary for upstream sewer service or for adiacent property
water service. Lateral water line cost shall include facilities necessary for system

B. Streets. The cost of construction of curbs and gutters on any street, of grading,
graveling, oiling, and applying non -permanent surfacing to any street, or of applying
permanent surfaces to FeSideRtial streets, shall be assessed on the basis of frontage,
to properties that abut are accessed from and/or are benefited from the
street improvement. Assessment of residential street improvement may be made on
the basis of the lot, the unit or on an equivalent unit at the discretion of the city
council based on the findings of equity and benefit
C. Nuisances. The cost of abating nuisances shall be assessed in a manner
determined by the council in each case to measure most equitably the benefit
received by property to be assessed. The assessment in any such case may be
made against non -abutting property to the extent the property is benefited by the
improvement.
24-1-5: SPECIAL RULES:
A. General. Assessment methods are established by the City Council aimed at fair and
equitable distribution or allocation of costs In general the maximum size
Page 6
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municii)al\AOTSEGO\920\OTSEGO ORDINANCE 24-1 REVISED doc
requirements for trunk sewer, water and drainage facilities is closely correlated to
development density which is most closet' related to land area and the proposed
planned or permitted use of that land The most equitable assessment system for
trunk sewer, trunk water and drainage facilities is most often on an area basis In
general, the requirement for local street and for extension of lateral sewer and water
is closely correlated to the width of lots and to the length of the street or utility
necessary to serve each lot and adjacent lots The most equitable assessment basis
for street & lateral sewer and water is on the frontage basis In all instances the City
Council has the right to review the basis of assessment and modify that basis as
deemed appropriate. A modified basis may include unit assessments by lot or parcel
and may include equivalency determinations for area frontage or units to achieve
equity.
B. Intersections and areas not abutting properties. The cost of street, water and
sewer improvements in street intersections or in easements and other areas not
directly abutting_ properties shall be included as part of the assessable cost. l the
C. Adjusted Frontage. When the amount of an assessment is determined by frontage,
an equivalent front footage shall be determined according to the following rules when
an irregular lot requires such an adjustment to maintain fairness in the assessment:
General
The front of a lot is in order of precedence the side or direction that the house
faces, the side that the property address is assigned or the side from which
primary access is made. The frontage of a property is measured along the
front property line. On platted property that frontage is the lot dimension shown
on the plat. For unplatted property, that frontage will be determined in order of
Precedence by, the legal description by computation or by scaling dimensions
from a city approved map.
2. Adjusted Frontage
For irregular shaped lots, equivalent front footage shall be determined by
dividing the square footage of the lot by the general lot depth
fer pie shaped 'Gt
Where a lot or unit consists of a combination of rectangular and pie shaped or
irregular portions, the equivalent front footage shall be determined as the sum
of the straight front footage plus the remainder in accordance with applicable
rules.
3. Frontage on Curved Streets
a) For lots fronting on curved streets or cul-de-sacs the frontage shall be
measured along the arc at the building setback line and shall not be
Page 7
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municit)al\AOTSEGO\920\OTSEGO ORDINANCE 24-1 REVISEDdoc
less than the minimum lot width required by ordinance for the specific
zoning district.
3. Corner Lots. In any assessment made on the basis of frontage, except one
for water or sanitary sewer, corner lots shall be assessed for footage along the
longest side if residential property and along both sides if commercial -
industrial property. Any remaining footage shall be spread among all other
assessed properties. In the case of an assessment for a lateral water or
sewer main, Class C, corner lots shall be assessed for the footage onl along
the front side of the lot and `'hall be assessed fer the feGtage along the front
side of the street ab ittiRg the Int
Where frontage curves so greatly as to give a general appearance of a corner,
the lot shall be considered a comer lot and equivalent front footage, as well as
side footage where required, determined on the basis of an irregularly shaped
lot.
24-1-6: POSTPONED ASSESSMENTS:
A. If the city advances its own funds to pay for improvement costs relating to property
abutting on but not initially assessed for an improvement, the city may reimburse
itself for all or any portion of this cost by levying assessments against such property
upon notice and hearings provided for the assessments at a later date.
B. If the city advances its own funds to pay for improvement costs that benefit non -
abutting property not initially assessed for it, but able to use it when extensions or
other improvements are made, the city may include all or any portion of the costs
originally advanced into assessments for later improvements if notice to that effect is
included in the notice of hearing on the matter of undertaking the later extension or
improvements.
24-1-7: APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENTS UPON SUBDIVISION OF LAND:
If a special assessment is levied against a tract of land which is later subdivided, the
installments remaining unpaid can be apportioned among the various lots and parcels in the
tract upon a finding that such apportionment will not materially impair collection of the
balance due. This may be done upon application of the property owner or by the City
Council acting upon its own motion, but notice of such apportionment and of the right to
appeal must be mailed to or personally served upon all owners of any part of the tract. If the
assessment has been pledged towards payment of improvement bonds, the City Council
must require the owner or owners to provide adequate security. The City Council may also,
at its discretion, require security in other cases.

\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municipal\AOTSEGO\920\OTSEGO ORDINANCE 24-1REVISED.doc
24-1-8: FEDERAL, STATE AND COUNTY AID USE:
If the city receives financial assistance from the federal government, the state, or the county
to defray a portion of the cost of a street improvement project, such aid shall be used first to
reduce the share of the project cost which would be met from general city funds according to
the assessment formula contained in this ordinance. If such aid is more than the amount of
the improvement cost to be bome by the city such additional amount shall in no way affect a
reduction in individual assessments calculated pursuant to this ordinance and city
assessment policy.
24-1-9: BRANCH SERVICE LINES:
Water and sewer lines shall be installed from the main to the front property line of property
to be served before any permanent street surfacing is constructed in the street. If any
property owner fails to put in such water and sewer service lines within 30 days after notice
from the city engineer, the city council shall proceed to have water and sewer service
installed and to assess the cost against the property.
24-1-10: PARTIAL PAYMENT:
After the adoption by the city council of the assessment roll in any local improvement
proceeding, the owner of any property specially assessed in that proceeding may, prior to
the certification of the assessment to the county auditor, pay to the city treasurer any portion
of the assessment not less than $100. The remaining unpaid balance shall be spread over
the period of time established by the council for installment payment of the assessment.
24-1-11: CERTIFICATION OF -ASSESSMENTS:
After the adoption of any special assessment by the council, the clerk or deputy clerk shall
transmit a certified duplicate of the assessment roll with each installment, including interest,
set forth separately to the county auditor to be extended on the proper tax lists of the county.
24-1-12: ASSESSMENT MANUAL:
The city clerk and staff shall prepare an administrative manual specifying more detailed
procedures for the conduct of local improvements and the levy of special assessments in
supplementation of this ordinance, and consistent therewith. Upon approval of the council
by resolution, such manual shall be used with this ordinance in the conduct of all local
improvement proceedings to which they apply by their terms.

CITY OF OTSEGO
Attachment to Ordinance 24 Related to Assessments for Public Improvements
City Ordinance 24-1 relates to and sets the regulations for local improvement and
special assessments. The construction of public improvements that are a benefit to
property is authorized by Minnesota Statues, Chapter 429. This attachment contains
information that is supplemental to the city ordinance and State Statute and is intended
to further explain or provide details on assessment policies and procedures.
24-1-1 Classification of Project
The classification of projects into Class A, B and C relates to various degrees
of general versus special benefit. Class A improvements benefit the city as a
whole with no assessment. Class C improvements have special benefit to
specific properties. The costs of Class C improvements are in general 100%
assessed or allocated to properties. Class B improvements are combination,
with some general and some special benefit. Ordinance 24-1 contains
sections that define methods used for making decisions or special vs. general
benefit. These ordinance provisions are used to the greatest extent possible
so as to provide consistency of assessment for all city projects. Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 429 contains enabling authority that permits the city to
construct public improvements and assess the property for the costs of the
improvements. Minnesota Statutes establish procedures to follow in making
improvements and assessments including specifying the public hearings and
notices. The statutes do not address specific methods for allocation of cost,
other than that the assessment upon property is to be based on the benefits
received. Questions related to assessments have frequently gone before the
courts. The courts have not adopted, proposed or recommended any uniform
assessment policies and practices. The court system has generally affirmed
the authority of a city council to make assessments in any fashion deemed
appropriate. If a city has policies aimed at equitable, uniform and fair
assessments with consideration of benefit to property, the court system has
generally upheld assessments levied by the city.
24-1-2 Financing of Class B and C Improvements
This section of the ordinance specifies that the methods of levying
assessments as contained in the ordinance will be followed unless the council
makes specific findings, via an officially adopted resolution, that different
policies are necessary or desirable. This specifically reinforces the council
authority to adjust assessments to fit specific project conditions but
encourages as few such revisions as necessary.
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municipal\AOTSEGO\920\ot920ORD24ATCHMT.doc
24-1-3 Assessments for Class B Improvements
The assessment ordinance calls for the costs of trunk sewer and water
systems to be paid either by area assessments or by connection charges.
The preferred method of the City of Otsego has been by connection charges
where estimated project costs have been divided by the estimated
connections. The connection charges are made at the time of property
platting, at the time of service or for new developments, by agreement. Area
assessments are determined based on improvement cost and the benefit to
properties within an area. Area assessments for trunk facilities can be
certified for collection or may be deterred until lateral systems are
constructed.
Lift stations are improvements that are of benefit only to the properties
tributary to the lift station. If a lift station is required for a single property, its
cost is considered a lateral cost to be paid by that property. If a lift station is
required to serve a development or a group of properties, the cost of lift
station construction will be allocated on a proportionate basis to those
benefited properties. If a lift station has general benefit to all properties or is
intrinsic to the total system operation, its costs may be in part attributed to
trunk facilities.
24-1-5 Special Rules
The assessment ordinance contains language to set standards for
determining the assessment basis, primarily frontage. Attached are samples
and exhibits on how that language translates to frontage determination for
typical lots.

Item 7.1 Southwest Triangle Sewer, Water & Storm Water Study
We have provided a letter attached with costs for the study of the technical
feasibility for installation of wastewater treatment, sanitary sewer collection
system, potable water system and storm water runoff facilities in the
triangle area. The attached letter details the costs with at least 2 options
to consider. If you decide to move forward the timing for completion will
depend on if you decide to order topography for the area and in which
year of aerial photography is flown.
Item 7.2 Water Meter Quotes
We received four quotes from vendors on 1/18/00 at our office. Find
enclosed a letter of recommendation from John Harwood, who put the
specification out for quotes.
Item 7.3 Preliminary Report for Storm Water Drainage Plan in the East
Commercial Section of the North Mississippi Watershed District.
Find a copy of the draft report attached. We would appreciate an
opportunity to present the report to the Council either at Council meeting
or at the workshop on 1/31/00 before finalizing the study.
Item 7.4 Proposed Revision to Ordinance 24 and Discussion on Proposed
Assessment Policies
We have shown on the attached Ordinance 24 the proposed revisions in
the document as lined through, and bold as new language. These
proposed changes are recommend to be discussed at the 1/31/00
workshop. The attorney needs to review the revisions we proposed before
the workshop.

Item 7.5 Joint Utility Trench Ordinance
We are requesting that the Council authorize the attorney to draft an
ordinance requiring "common trench burial' for electric, gas, telephone
and cable in any new developments in the city.
At this time the City has no ordinance that covers this matter, and utility
companies have questioned our requirement that this be done. Common
trench is more economical for the utilities since there is only a single
trench instead of 4 trenches spread out across the ROW and easements.
It is a better use of the property by consolidating the location and easier to
locate. The Engineer's Manual has a plate or diagram showing the current
policy or location of utilities. In areas other than new plats, locations for
electric, gas and telephone may still be desirable per these existing
policies. In the Crimson Ponds plat, the utilities are in a common trench
approximately 6 feet behind the curb. However, to get the utilities to do
this was difficult because Minnegasco did not want to install if service to
customers was going to be long term. The gas main to the area needs to
be brought along 78 Street and the boulevard was not graded sufficiently
to place utilities in last December. Also, the frost depth deters further
installation. However, Wright -Hennepin wanted to go ahead to serve
Crimson Pond because electric service could be used almost immediately
for the model homes by extending a temporary overhead line from the
west. This situation may not occur again, but we feel an ordinance
requiring the single trench in new developments would eliminate this issue
and establish a more efficient system.

RE: Water, Sanitary Sewer and Drainage Study for the SW area of Otsego
Dear Mike,
The council directed us to provide a cost estimate for a study that would estimate costs
and provide an opinion on the feasibility of installing public services in this area.
The area of the study is generally described as bounded on the:
• east by the City of Albertville
north by 1-94
west by Monticello Twp.
• south by the City of St. Michael
and is referred to as the "triangle".
We would include in the study the following proposed public facilities:
• Sanitary Sewer Collection System
• Wastewater Treatment Facilities
• Potable Water Source, Storage and Distribution
• Trunk Stormwater Facilities
We did not propose a transportation plan at this time. Both CSAH 37 and 118 traverse
the area, and the only city streets in this area are Jansen Ave., Kad ler Ave., 60`h Street
and Jaber Ave. Of those, only Jansen Ave. is paved and meets city standards for
industrial/commercial street standards, the others are gravel rural section streets.
This area of Otsego does not have contour mapping. With contour map the tasks of the
study are made easier and can be completed in more detail. Having contours provides
better estimate costs and overall helps the engineering analysis.
The cost of the topographic data and the surveying needed to provide ground control is
estimated at $8,500. Of this, $4,500.00 is for the aerial photography and map
preparation and $4,000 is for survey ground control.
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\MunicipalWOTSEGO\901\ot901WSSDStudy.doc
Mike Robertson
Page 2
January 13, 2000
Most of the cost of the mapping can be recouped by selling the topo to the
developers/landowners.
Without the contouring map we would use the existing U.S.G.S. map with 10 foot
contours and other aerial photos, USDA maps, etc., none of which provide the definition
of the 2 foot contours. We would be able to reduce some cost of the study portion by
about $2,000 with the 2 foot contours available.
It would take about 4 months to get the 2 foot contour maps if a new year 2000 flight is
required. One firm, Mark Hurd, has a 1994 flight from which maps would be ready in 2
to 3 weeks.
A. Sanitary Sewer System — Collection and Treatment
1. Treatment
We will review treatment method and systems with respect to on-site
disposal and discharge of treated water into local ditches. Irrigation of
treated water over land is also another option. This portion of the study
will require looking at several approaches, however until the Mn/PCA
reviews the matter as a preliminary proposal, it is difficult to get indication
as to the most acceptable system for the area. We are also assuming that
neither Albertville nor St. Michael has capacity available in their plants that
they would sell to Otsego for this area. We will need to determine the
approximate required capacity of the facilities, and that would be done by
determining developable acreage and the type of zoning in those areas.
We would request that the planner, NAC, assist in this portion of the study.
2. Collection System
The sewer collection may be a system of gravity sewers and/or a
combination of gravity sewer and lift stations. With a contour map,
completing this part of the study would be much quicker and more
accurate. Without contours, we would be making more judgements on
elevations of the land.
B. Potable Water System
In this part of the study, we would provide analysis and cost estimates for a
system that included wells, elevated water storage, pumphouse with chemical
treatment and a distribution system.

Anderson
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municipal\AOTSEGO\901\ot901 WSSDStudy.doc Assoc., Inc.
Mike Robertson

January 13, 2000
We would determine the water tower size and capacity and provide a location for
the facilities, likely with one primary and one alternative tower site.
The well's source for the potable well would likely be a deep well in the Mt.
Simon aquifer. The pumphouse with chemical treatment of the water as per the
requirements of the Minnesota Department of Health will be shown located in two
alternate areas. A preliminary computer study will be done to assure adequate
pressure and distribution in the system.
With industrial/commercial uses, fire protection requires higher flow capacity than
residential. The water system is basically designed to meet the capacity for
industrial area fire flow and not just the potable needs for drinking water.
The distribution system would show the trunk system with looping. Lateral pipe
location would be determined with development.
C. Storm Water Drainage Plan
This area lies within two drainage districts; the Otsego Creek and County Ditch
#9. Otsego Creek flows into the Mississippi River and except for a portion in the
City of Albertville and Monticello Twp., the majority of watershed acreage lies
within the City of Otsego itself.
The County Ditch #9 flows into the Crow River with only a small portion of the
watershed in the City of Otsego. We will determine the criteria for discharge of
storm water runoff into County Ditch #9 from the County Engineer.
The storm drainage plan will be determined based on flow rate control and water
quality requirements. The current policy for storm water runoff will be applied to
this area.

we can discuss that scenario. What we have proposed is what is envisioned to provide
reasonably sound information for the council to use in evaluating development needs in
this area.
I will be available at the 1/24/00 council meeting to discuss the above with yourself and
council.

RE: Residential Water Meters
Dear Mayor and Council:
ITEM 7.2
3601 Thurston Avenue
Suite 101
Anoka, Minnesota 55303
612/427-5860
612/427-0520 Fax
We solicited quotations for residential water meters including the Itron automatic water meter
reading system. We received four quotations as follows:
RMR Services, Mpls; Hersey Meter, AY MacDonald Brass, $250.33 each
2. Mid America Meter, St. Louis Park; ABB Meter, Ford Brass, $271.18 *each
3. Hydro Survey Co., Bumsville; Badger Meter, AY MacDonald Brass, $271.58 each
4. Davies Water Equipment, Brooklyn Park; Schlumberger Meter Ford Brass, $325.69 each
* The Mid America quote is an average of five prices they provided, one price for each of the 5
years of the quotation period. This five price quotation is not responsive to our request.
Based on the received data, we recommend acceptance of the RMR Services quotation and
recommend placing an initial orderwith that supplierfor approximately 20-30 meter assemblies.
The number ordered may also depend on the length of delivery time, so that should be
considered.
The water meter assemblies consist of a 3/4 inch copper yoke, a brass check valve and a brass
shut off valve, all of which are to be installed in a residence by the licensed plumber engaged
by the home builder. The actual meter and Itron meter reading module is a unit that fits within
its provided yoke. The meter unit is typically installed by the City just prior to occupancy and is
provided to the homeowner for a fee, which is considered to be a long-term lease paid on a
lump sum basis. The home builder usually pays the fee before the meter is installed. Billing
will go directly to the new home owners, not to the builder.
When any meter needs repair, servicing or replacement, the work is done by the City at no cost
to the property owner. The deposit should be sufficient to cover normal repairs over the life of
the meter.
\\Ha01\Shared Docs\Municipal\AOTSEGO\509\ot509mayor.doc
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Page 2
January 19, 2000
With receipt of the current quotation, the City can complete implementation of the water meter
system that includes:
1.) Fix the fee of the water meter and assembly based on price of unit from distributor, add
any handling charges at City Hall by staff, each meter must be installed and water
service value in the front yard turned on by staff. Assume that the meter, in its 15-25
year life, will need to be re -calibrated once and minor repairs done. This means removal
and re -installation. Our recommendation that you consider at least $100 over the retail
price of the assembly for the fee.
2.) Enter into a contract with Wright Hennepin Co-op for meter reading and data reporting
service.
3.) Complete a contract with a utility operation and maintenance firm who will provide
personnel to actually install the meter assembly, or train a member of the Public Works
Department to do so.
4.) Order meter assemblies that will be placed in stock at the City maintenance garage.
The meter yoke assemblies will be provided to builders upon request.

ITEM 7.3
REPORT TO BE HANDED OUT AT
COUNCIL MEETING
January 12, 1999
Otsego City Council
Dear Council Members:
i JAN 1 8 2000
I am writing this letter in regard to the flooding of my hunting fields as a result of dewatering
during the construction of the new 78th Street.
I have owned and operated a DNR Licensed Hunting Preserve called Pheasant Dreams Inc. since
1987. Since 1991, I have leased land owned by Frank Morrisette, and Tom Corbin for the purpose
of releasing Pheasants and Chukars for hunters to hunt and train dogs. For the past 3 years or so I
have also leased Russel Marties property for this purpose. Corbis is now owned by Backes
Companies and Marties by RCON Development. Both of these new owners gave me verbal
permission to hunt their properties on or about October 1, 1999. At that time, they were flooded
from the dewatering of Fabian Sadowski's former property, also owned by Backes companies. Mr.
Backes compensated Pheasant Dreams for water damage, lost income etc. to the Frank Morrisette
property from October 1, 1999 thru November 10, 1999. when the water levels went back to
normal.
7I7ianksgiving weekend has traditionally been our busiest weekend of the year and we usually turn
down more business than we can accept due to lack of areas to hunt. Thanksgiving weekend for
1999 was booked solid weeks in advance twice per day for the three areas I've previously
mentioned. When the time came to hunt, however, the water levels had come way back up due to a
sudden change in the discharge area of the dewatering project for the contruction of 78th Street. I
called Mr. Robertson at City Hall and asked if the Northern Dewatering could extend their
discharge pipes all the way to Lef-Co Farm's drainage ditch and he found out it would cost the city
approximately $20,000 to do so.
With all 3 areas now under 6" to 24" of water, I was forced to cancel Many hunts for families who
had planned to hunt for weeks in advance. All told these 3 areas were totally unhuntable from
about November 20th until December 10th, 1999. However, since the pumps have been shut off,
about 1 inch layer of ice was formed 6" to 18" above the ground and has made these areas very
dangerous to hunt.
I cannot understand how someone can pump millions of gallons of water onto and across other
property owners land and damage someone's livelihood.
Pheasant Dreams Inc. has been severely affected by this dewatering project.
1) Pheasant Dreams has lost untold dollars of income due to flooding.
2) Pheasant Dreams' reputation has been permanetly damaged due to cancelling previously
scheduled hunts.
3) Pheasant Dreams customer satisfaction level has dropped dramatically from trying to hunt wet
and ice crusted areas.
As a result of difte cimanages, Pheasant Dreams Inc. is requesting the City of Otsego to pay
damages of $10,01)0.
I hope this matter can be rectified without the involvement of an attorney but if necessary I will do
SO.
If any further information is needed or any negotation needs to be done - please contact me at 441-
7204.
Thank You for your time and prompt consideration of these matters.
S'cerely,
Z; -Greg Lefeb e

Dear Mr. Robertson:

The School Board is eager to have a joint meeting with all city councils and township boards
within the school district. To this end, they have scheduled the meeting for Monday,
February 7, 2000, at 7 p.m. in the band room at Meadowvale Elementary School, 12701 Elk
Lake Road, Elk River (enter Door 7, first room to the right). School Board members and
district administrators would like to have the city officials discuss their comprehensive
planning processes, residential and commercial development plans and plans for utilities.
This kind of information is critical for our planning. We hope that at least some council
members and staff can attend: Area legislators also will be invited to attend this meeting.
Also, the School Board and I are prepared to schedule separate joint meetings with the
School Board and individual city councils if requested. Please contact me at 241-3401 or
Londa at 241-3418 to discuss possible dates if you're interested.
The School Board and I appreciate your cooperation and access to the information that is
necessary in our planning process. We look forward to meeting with you on February 7.
Sincerely,
V a A- -•-el,
David Flannery
Superintendent of Schools
