DRAFT 09/01 mz v RIVERRIDER JOINT POWERS BOARD The RiverRider system began in Sherburne Countv around 1977. The agency Volunteer Coordinator received a grant from MnDot to purchase a bus to transport primarily low-income seniors to scheduled agtivities. An additional vehicle was received and used primarily for the same purpose. A few years later state and federal funds became available for capital and operations subsidies for rural areas to develop public transportation systems. Sherburne County agreed to administer the program. For a long time, services were contracted out and the ridership continued to be primarily low-income seniors and persons with disabilities needing to get to their center based work sites. As the program grew and routes became more diversified, general public ridership grew. Approximately 10 years ago, a decision was made to hire drivers and purchase vehicles directly because it was more cost effective than contracting. Eventually we expanded into Wright County where general public ridership grew even more; to the point we are today where approximately 62% of the ridership are general public and 38% are Social Services clients. The RiverRider transit system is at a critical stage, we believe, that necessitates a review of how it is currently administered and how it should be administered to best meet future community transit needs. At this time, Social Service staff believes a Joint Powers Agreement between Sherburne and Wrig oun ies may etter me Recent trends and factors that have led us to this conclusion would be as follows. unties. • The majority of the ridership falls under public ridership rather than Social Service clientele, necessitating different approaches to marketing, revenue, hours of service, customer service, etc. • Transit related budgeting, funding and planning processes are becoming increasingly complex requiring a knowledge base and networks that are very different from Social Services, (i.e.) vehicle procurement necessitates competing with funding for roads and bridges; funding for capital grants for storage facilities are higher priority if coordinated with other transit related services/systems; budget reports and methodologies are quite different. • Liability and risk management issues differ significantly from what is typical in Social Services. • Now may be an opportune time to look at different options due to the fact the system is quite stable and small enough to orchestrate a major organizational change. Also, system flexibility is needed soon to assure that RiverRider is a proactive player in the quickly changing transit area. • The current level of ridership and future demand has outgrown the mission of the Social Service Department. DRAFT 09/01 Joint Powers Possible Board Membership: (Based on what has worked with other systems.) • Two Commissioners (one from each County) • Two City Council Representatives (one from each County) • Two at -large community members (one from each County) RiverRider Staff.• • Transit Director • Operations Coordinator • Accounting/Dispatcher • Drivers Benefits of Joint Powers: �• Increased flexibility to respond to changing service demands / recommendations would go to one Board. _ ✓• More direct and equitable control by both counties in addition to city involvement. • Alleviate Social Service / Human Service staff or transit related duties. • Successful models already exist, such as the Rainbow Rider System in northern Minnesota. '• MnDot long range planning supports RiverRider as a Joint Powers Transit System rather than a social service program. • Ability to introduce an accounting system more compatible with transit accounting practice. • Recent legislation provides state funds for county tax dollars. Consequently, county financial role should decrease significantly. • County could limit financial support to truly vulnerable persons, (i.e.) elderly, disabled, etc., through fares or contracts. • The Sherburne County Attorney's office has rendered an opinion that liability directly to the county would be reduced under a Joint Powers. • More flexibility related to: - hours of operation - fund raising - coordinating with other systems to share or develop resources or apply for grants. Draw Backs of Joint Powers: • Initial start up costs; yet to be determined. • The county would lose direct control over operations. • Logistical issues related to transition to independence would take some planning time. 2 DRAFT 09/01 Recommendations: Our recommendation would be as follows: • Formation of a Joint Powers Board using the following model. - Board of Directors comprised of: Two Commissioners (one from each County) Two City Council members (one from each County) Two at -large members (one from each County) - Transit Advisory Boards (TAC) for each County with a provision that they meet jointly during the year as agreed to in the Joint Powers Agreement. The Transit Advisory Committee would make recommendations to the full Board of Directors. There is also a suggestion that each County Board has the authority to veto the proposed annual budget. Establish a work group to prepare a comprehensive report identifying the specific issues that need to be addressed with the transition; prepare a transition plan and oversee the completion of the transition. • The Joint Powers Agreement should also have a 90 day termination clause. 9/18/2001 Comrecfb Community Recreation EY REVENUE EXPEND (LOSS) GAIN 91-92 Actual $20,117 $2,710 $17,407 92-93 Actual 52,075 43,323 8,752 93-94 Actual 62,678 91,304 (28,626) 94-95 Actual 58,807 70,795 (11,988) 95-96 Actual 105,677 135,882 (30,204) 96-97 Actual 220,808 188,266 32,541 97-98 Actual 228,152 244,137 (15,985) 98-99 Actual 251,961 258,995 (7,034) 99-00 Actual - 307,332 305,047 , 2,285 Sub Total $1,307,607 $1,340,458 ($32,851) 00-01 Actual $117,384 $159,274 ($41,890) Total Fund Balance ($74,741) Comrecfb COMMUNITY RECREATION MEMBERS Mar 92 -Jun 92; Elk River Otsego Rogers Hassan Dayton Livonia Jul 92 -Jun 93 Jul 93 -Jun 94 Ju194-Jun 95 Jul 955un 96 Jul 96 Jun 97 Jul 97 Jun 98 Jul 98 -Jun 99 Jul 99 -Jun 00 Jul 00 -Dec 00 Zimmerman Feb 93 -May 97 Livonia Mar 92 -Sept 97 Dayton Mar 92 -Dec 99 Community Recreation Asset List q,1M, rj 2ty Item Cost When Purchased Life Span In Years Value Each Total Value 4 AT&T 4 -line #954 phone $ 120 2 years ago 4 $ 50.00 $ 200.00 1 AT&T 4 -line #954 phone $ 100 3 months ago 4 $ 95.00 $ 95.00 2 Pressed wood 3 row bookshelf $ 20 2 years ago 3 $ 7.00 $ 14.00 1 Desk $ 300 5 year ago 10 $ 150.00 $ 150.00 -1 Laminator $ 140 1 year ago 4 $ 105.00 $ 105.00 1 4 drawer file cabinet $ 80 1 year ago 4 $ 60.00 $ 60.00 2 2 drawer file cabinet $ 20 2 years ago 4 $ 10.00 $ 20.00 1 computer hub w/8 ports $ 80 4 years ago 4 $ - $ - 2 2 drawer file cabinet $ 20 5 years ago 3 $ - $ - 2 Office Chair $ 120 2 years ago 3 $ 40.00 $ 80.00 1 Office Chair $ 120 1 year ago 3 $ 80.00 $ 80.00 1 Office Chair $ 80 5 months ago 3 $ 70.00 $ 70.00 1 HP R80 printer/copier/fax $ 814 2 years ago 3 $ 542.00 $ 542.00 1 Jet Direct Card $ 263 2 years ago 3 $ 175.00 $ 175.00 1 Hewlett Packard 4050N $ 1,430 2 years ago 4 $ 600.00 $ 600.00 1 Canon copier $ 800 1 year ago 3 $ 533.00 $ 533.00 1 Pentium III Deskpro 500 MHz $ 1,497 2 years ago 3 $ 350.00 $ 350.00 With internal modem 1 Pentium III Deskpro 500 MHz $ 1,478 2 years ago 3 $ 350.00 $ 350.00 With internal zip drive 1 Celeron Deskpro 500 MHz $ 1,020 2 years ago 3 $ 275.00 $ 275.00 1 External modem $ 92 2 years ago 3 $ 30.00 $ 30.00 Total $ 3,522.00 $ 3,729.00 TC) Old o l4c) fPalat) co. w r y&1 - 0 f\ U s Wright County Drug Task Force Advisory Board Meeting Meeting Date: September 19, 2001 Time: 1:30 P.M. Location: Wright County Attorney's Office From January 01, 2001 through September 19, 2001 the Wright County Drug Task Force has seen a significant rise in drug and firearm related cases. We have opened 158 cases involving the sale, possession, use and manufacturing of controlled substances. To this date we have closed 69 cases by either executing search warrants, buy -busts, nock and talks, traffic stops or arrest warrants. From these 69 cases we have arrested 90 individuals for various crimes. There were 32 search warrants executed, and 8 methamphetamine labs recovered. Regarding firearm cases, we have seen in increase in the number of weapons being recovered during search warrants. There has also been an alarming number of cases were the suspects have attempted to use a firearm on the officer/agent. In May of this year the WCDTF assisted another task force in a methamphetamine lab case. During this investigation Sgt. Hoffman made contact with the suspect, David Smith. During this contact David Smith went for a loaded 357 magnum revolver and attempted to shoot Sgt. Hoffman. Smith was arrested and has since been found guilty of l' Degree Attempted Murder of a Police Officer. In August of this year the WCDTF and WC Patrol Deputies attempted a High Risk felony stop of a party suspected to have an once of methamphetamine and a handgun on his person. The traffic stop occurred in the city of Monticello. Upon removing this person from the vehicle he attempted to draw a loaded 380 auto handgun from his waist band to use against officers. Found in this persons vehicle was 10 grams of methamphetamine. Two weeks ago undercover Agent Sean Deringer purchased 9 stolen firearms from a party in Monticello. A search warrant at this persons residence revealed a small amount of suspected methamphetamine and another stolen firearm. Also this summer a WC Patrol Deputy stopped a person for a traffic stop. During the stop the driver attempted to get back into his vehicle were a loaded firearm was located. It is believed he was intending to use this weapon on the deputy. We continue to receive calls from the public with concerns about the increasing availability of drugs in our community. The task force looks at every piece of information that comes into our office and tries to prioritize the cases. But with the limited number of agents, currently two Sheriff's Deputies and Sgt. Hoffman, we are unable to follow up on a majority of these cases in a timely fashion. The task force has continued its efforts to educate the public on the dangers of controlled substances. In 2001 we have currently given 31 presentations with approximately 1,369 people in attendance. "Spot Report" In June of this year Agent Jason Kramber was certified as a Narcotics K-9 handler. He is now the primary handler for Spot. Since this time spot has had several finds including 3lbs of methamphetamine located in a storage locker in Monticello. Grant Report. Since the Wright County Drug Task Force inception it has been receiving approximately $54,000.00 in Federal Byrne Grant money each year. The state of Minnesota receivers approximately 2.6 million dollars in Byrne Grant funds for various narcotics task forces. In July of this year I sent in a grant request proposal for $76,977.00. This increase was explained in length and including bringing in an additional agent from Meeker County. I received a letter on September 14, denying the increase and awarding the WCDTF with the original $54,578.00. The state of Minnesota had a second grant this year with approximately $471,000 to be used to "combat methamphetamine activities". I submitted a grant proposal for $26,006.60 to be used for proper methamphetamine lab investigation equipment, training, and public education. I was just informed that o this $471,000 the WCDTF received $8,918.00. In Review The WCDTF has been in operation for approximately 11 to 12 years. Since that time our number of agents have fluctuated between 2 or 3 full time officers and 1 to 2 part time officers. The number of calls from the public and the number of cases being opened have steadily increased. However, the task force has been forced to operate with out an increase in funds for 12 years. The Wright County Sheriff's Office has shown its commitment to the task force by placing a Sergeant and 2 full time agents, a third full time agent by the first of the year, into the task force. As it stands to this date the Wright County Drug Task Force is NOT technically a task force unless we have a working agent from another law enforcement agency. Therefore the Office of Drug Policy could take away our $54,578.00 grant. Since we did not get the increase in our grant I do not now the status of Meeker County. have also been contacted by Elk River Police Department who have expressed in interest in joining the task force in 2002. Wright County Drug Task Force Methamphetamine Work Plan Outline I. Current Activities 1. Public Awareness. A. The Wright County Drug Task Force is committed to educating the public on the dangers of Clandestine Methamphetamine Labs. Currently we have a 2 `/2 hour presentation that is given to various civic groups and EMS departments. This presentation includes a mock lab set up and a power point presentation. This is an awareness program that gives people some basic facts on meth labs, what to watch for, and information on who to contact if they suspect a methamphetamine lab. A brochure is given to participants. This brochure has color photo's of various drugs including items commonly scene in meth labs. I have had very positive feed back on this brochure. 2. Investigations. A. The Wright County Drug Task Force takes an aggressive approach towards investigating meth labs. We have consistently been among the top agencies in the state for clandestine methamphetamine lab seizures. We currently have one certified Clandestine Laboratory Investigator and will be sending a second agent to the DEA clan lab school this fall. We are also often called to assist other agencies in the investigation and dismantling of clan labs. 3. Utilization of Overtime Hours for Methamphetamine Investigations. A. The task force currently uses a limited overtime budget for meth lab investigations. 4. Officer Training. A. The Wright County Drug Task Force provides training to law enforcement personal. We currently put on a 4 hour P.O.S.T. approved course on "Basic Drug Identification and Clan Lab Awareness" to officers. II. Proposed Activities The Wright County Drug Task Force would use this funding to increase its efforts in battling clandestine methamphetamine labs. The increase overtime budget would allow officers to spend more time investigating and tracking clandestine methamphetamine labs. Once at the scene of a clandestine methamphetamine lab it takes on average 5 hours to assess, collect evidence, dismantle and clean up the lab. During this time agents often find evidence linking other locations or suspects to the lab. By having the extra overtime funds this would allow officers to continue the investigation and catch the co-conspirators. Clandestine methamphetamine lab investigations are dangerous and expensive. The chemicals associated with these labs are flammable, explosive, carcinogens, and pose other health risks. Our task force has equipped the Wright County Emergency Response Team with "Air Purifying Respirators". These respirators are used by the entry team when search warrants are suspected to have meth labs. We would also like to equip the team with fire retardant "Nomex" suits. This would give officers some measure of protection from flash fires. Currently the task force has one agent certified by the DEA to investigate labs. In the fall of this year we will be sending a second agent to the DEA clan Lab team. Each lab tech should be equipped with an SCBA air pack which is worn into the labs. Each pack is more than $2,000.00. Along with the air packs agents should be equipped with air monitoring devices. It should be noted that the Wright County Drug Task Force has investigated and dismantled more than 50 methamphetamine labs since 1995. Many of these labs were investigated without the proper safety equipment. The overtime funds would also be used in the area of public awareness. In 2000 the Wright County Drug Task Force gave approximately 30 presentations to more than 700 people. Most of these presentations were Clandestine Methamphetamine Lab Awareness presentations. In recent months we have received numerous requests for additional presentations. A majority of these presentations are out side of the task force area and during the evening. The increased funding would enable agents to give more of these presentations. We have now been purchasing color brochures that are handed out during these presentations. At a cost of $5.50 for the brochures this has placed a strain on our finances. Due to the overwhelming positive feed back on the brochures we would like to continue giving them out. With this funding we would be able to increase this service. CITY OF OTSEGO REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION September 24, 2001 ITEM NUMBER: ITEM DESCRIPTION: PREPARED BY: 4.A.

FILE NO.: 176.02 - 01. Opi The Planning Commission, at the direction of the City Council, has been studying issues related to commercial stables and residential detached accessory buildings in the Rural Service Area. The focus of the study was to address situations were people would apply for a commercial stable CUP in order to be allowed a larger accessory building. The Planning Commission's effort has resulted in a proposed amendment of the Zoning Ordinance which would define commercial stables and also increase the amount of accessory building space allowed for residential parcels larger than five acres that are in the rural service area.

CITY OF OTSEGO BY: Larry Fournier, Mayor ATTEST: Judy Hudson, Zoning Administrator/City Clerk HOIR 'IAWItST ASSOCkATRID C01143UILT NTS,, yt4e, 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.595.9837 planners@nacplanning.com MEMORANDUM TO: Otsego Mayor and City Council FROM: Daniel Licht DATE: 19 September 2001 RE: Otsego - Parks and Trails Plan FILE NO.: 176.02 - 01.06 The Parks and Recreation Commission considered the issue of providing a community park in western Otsego and whether search areas should be identified in the Parks and Trails Plan. The Parks and Recreation Commission discussion focused on the need to provide facilities in eastern areas of the City due to the concentration of population and the fact that the monies available in the Park Development fund were dedicated from developments within the sanitary sewer service district. The other issue under discussion is sidewalks within residential neighborhoods. The intent of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Planning Commission is that sidewalks are to be located on both sides of the street, unless there is a trail corridor provided for by the Plan. The following language revisions more clearly reflect the intent of the policy: 13. Except where a trail is planned as part of the Comprehensive Parks and Trails Plan, developers shall provide 5 -foot concrete sidewalks on both sides of all new though streets within the Sanitary Sewer Service District with projected average daily trips (ADT) above 500. In association with this policy, we are also recommending that the following language be included within the Plan Development section of the document regarding installation of sidewalks within neighborhoods: In addition to trails identified on the Park and Trail Plan map, the City will require installation of concrete sidewalks on both sides of all new through streets constructed in the Sanitary Sewer Service District. These sidewalks are intended to provide for safe pedestrian access and movement within neighborhoods and connections to the City's larger trail system. Five foot wide side walks will be required on any through street with an ADT of 500 or greater. If a trail corridor is planned for the street, no sidewalks will be required. Finally, a revised Parks and Trails Plan map is attached. We have revised the colors of the map to enhance the contrast between the different elements. PC.

Find attached a copy of the Feasibility Report for Construction of Sanitary Sewer, Water Main, Street and Storm Drainage Facilities for the Otsego Commercial Park in Planning District #4. Council is requested to review the report and if issues need to be discussed, we will be available to answer questions and present the report. If the report is acceptable to the Council, a Public Hearing date should be set and report accepted. Should the landowner, TMH Development and Vernon Kolles, owner of the adjacent property, waive the hearing and agree in writing with the contents of the report, the Council may consider ordering the project and direct the City Engineer to prepare plans and specifications. The project could not be constructed until 2002, due to the lateness of the season. However, the Developer could complete the grading this fall in order to install utilities and street next Spring. Item 7.2: Consider closure of Parson Avenue from Quaday Avenue to 70th Street and set date for vacation hearing. Parson Avenue currently meanders back and forth across the property line between "The Pointe" property and North Pine Aggregate's property to the west. Refer to the attached drawing. The street right-of-way must be vacated to allow Pulte Homes to continue with the planned development. Civil &Municipal �� Engineering G:\Municipal\AOTSEGO\councilagenda6.doc Land Surveying for Item 7.3: Item 7.4: It's planned that Parson Avenue will be replaced with the construction of Quaday Avenue when the Pulte Development is complete and the North Pine Aggregate property has sewer capacity in order to develop or sooner. In the meantime, Pulte and our office are designing and constructing a bypass for Parson Avenue via Quale Avenue through The Pointe plat. Quale Avenue is constructed and joined with Quaday Avenue will present access to 70" Avenue near the location of the intersection with TH 101. It is necessary to close Parson Avenue soon, in order for Pulte to complete construction in the area. The bypass will be completed, signed and approval by our office before Parson Avenue is closed. A barricade will be placed at both ends of the closed Parson Avenue. The Council is requested to consider closing Parson Avenue and vacate the right-of-way as shown on the plan and as described. Consider acceptance of the Feasibility Report and order the Improvement Project for Page Avenue (79th Street to 85th Street). There were several questions on this matter that could not be answered by the staff at the last Council meeting. The following are the answers to those concerns: a. The plats of the Crimson Ponds Additions 1 through 4 have provided adequate dedicated right -of way for Page Avenue. The City has the 80 -feet necessary to build Page Avenue from 79th Street to 85' Street. b. The Developer's Agreement has provided for the Developer to remove at their cost the buildings and structures within the right-of-way. c. The Developer's Agreement also provides that the Developer will assist the City in obtaining temporary easement on the west side of Page Avenue and the south side of 85th Street for future utility construction. d. It is our recommendation not to install gravel base in Page Avenue until curb and gutter and storm sewer are complete. Any gravel placement prior to that would be lost in the construction of curb and sewer. Current drainage issues will be reviewed this fall and corrected temporarily until the project can be worked in the Spring of 2002 should the Council order the project.

I have spoken with Assistant Wright County Attorney Brian Asleson regarding the issue of the City regulating uses within the municipal boundaries more strictly than State statute. The County has no existing ordinance in place and does not anticipate asserting any control over snowmobiling within the County outside of the various City's corporate limits. Wright County thus has no problem with the City requiring stronger restrictions along County Highways within the City. I also talked with the St. Michael City Attorney, Dave Lenhardt, regarding snowmobile use within St. Michael. I have enclosed a copy of the St. Michael ordinance, which is pretty basic. St. Michael simply limits the speed of snowmobilers to 10 miles an hour in "residential and commercial areas", neither of which is specifically defined. St. Michael's experience is that the officers will ticket under the ordinance and normally all of the tickets are paid so that the issue of ordinance interpretation rarely ever arises. In regards to the more stringent regulations within "Designated Areas", I have included in the proposed ordinance under 8-15, B four different options for your consideration which we will discuss at the meeting. In reference to the issue of whether or not a snap should be required of residents indicating the shortest route from their residence to a snowmobile trail, I still strongly feel that this would be an administrative and enforcement nightmare. However, if the Letter to Otsego City Council September 20, 2001 Page 2 Council were to consider this, I would add the following language to Section 8-1-5; "A snowmobiler traveling closer than 300 feet to any residential area shall have on his person at all such times an official map, as approved by the City, indicating the location of the snowmobiler's residence and the most direct route to the nearest snowmobile trail." The enclosed proposed ordinance indicates by strikeout and underlining the changes from the prior ordinance. I have also enclosed a summary that will work for publication no matter what version of the Ordinance is adopted. I will be available to further discuss this matter at Monday night's meeting. Very tru ours, Andr J. Ma rthur COURI & ACARTHLIR Encls.

The City has been paying the haulers $1.25 per household per month since 1991 for recycling. The budget for 2001 for recycling is $42,000. The haulers would like an increase to $2.25 per household per month. They say they are losing money at the current rate. I have enclosed a memo from the City Attorney's office regarding the City's legal options. Council and staff discussed several options in response to the haulers request. 1. Do Nothing. Continue the subsidy at $1.25 per household per month. If the haulers want to charge more they will have to do it themselves on their bill. Pros - This would not increase costs to the City. The City would continue to subsidize recycling, a service that some people have indicated they like receiving. There would be no unhappy residents because the City had taken something away from them. Cons - Residents would be unhappy about paying more for recycling, and some might stop recycling. Many would call City Hall to complain or ask questions, tying up the phone lines. Because the subsidy was paid through property taxes, higher valued properties would pay more than lower valued properties for the same service. 2. Grant the haulers request. This would increase the budget to approximately $80,000 for 2002. Pros - The City would continue to subsidize recycling, a service that some people have indicated they like receiving. There would be no unhappy residents because the City had taken something away from them. Cons - This would increase costs to the City. Because the subsidy was paid through property taxes, higher valued properties would pay more than lower valued properties for the same service. 3. Drop the subsidy. Drop the subsidy and let haulers charge for recycling. Pros - The City would save money. Because the City was no longer involved in recycling, City Hall would receive less phone calls. Because the subsidy was no longer paid through property taxes, higher valued properties would pay the same rate as lower valued properties for the same service. Cons - There would be a lot of calls to City Hall initially about the change. There would be unhappy residents because the City had taken something away from them that used to be free. Residents would be unhappy about paying more for recycling, and some might stop recycling. recycling.wps N
