Mr. Mike Robertson, City Administrator
City of Otsego
8899 Nashua Ave. N.E.
Otsego Mn. 55330
Dear Mr. Robertson,
My name is Marlon Glines of DYNAMICS DESIGN & LAND CO. I am representing DYNAMICS,
CHRISTIAN PROPERTIES, David and Ardis Eide, Harold and Kenneth Zimmer, and Floyd Roden with a
request to have land in the Southwest ''/< of Section 36, Twp. 121 N, Rng. 24 W; part of Section 31,Twp.
121 N, Rng. 24 W; and parts of Sections 5 and 6, Twp. 120 N, Rng. 23 W included in the City of
Albertville Urban Service District. The total land area will be approximately 513 acres +/- of which 232.32
acres are within the Otsego city limits. (see attached map of area)
We understand that this will require having a Joint Powers Agreement between the two cities for city sewer
and water through the Albertville facilities.
We feel a mix of zoning would best fit this large amount of land. Starting adjacent to Interstate Freeway
#94, land easterly and adjacent to the City of Albertville lagoons, and through the balance of the properties
a mix of Highway Commercial, Business Park, a transition area of Multiple Family with a variety of
densities, and Single Family Housing should be a positive blend of zoning for an area of this magnitude and
its proximity to the current freeway interchange with County Road # 37.
Because of the interchange proximity and the relatively short distance to anticipated extensions of
Albertville Municipal Services we believe that the highest and best use of these properties can be achieved
through the use of municipal sewer and water connection.
DESIGN <Pi LAND CO.
544 - 3RD STREET NW ELK RIVER, MN 55330 PHONE (612)441-8591 FAX (612)441-8604
The Commercial and Business Park uses can help balance a city's tax base and take some of the burden off
the residents. The Multiple Family can transition into the Single Family which would then be adjacent to
existing residence.
We are asking that this letter be respectfully submitted to Mayor Larry Fournier and the members of the
City Council.
We know this request will require a great deal of discussion between the cities of Otsego and Albertville.
We are available to meet with Staff, Planners, Engineers, and Elected Officials of Otsego and Albertville to
assist in any way that we can.
We appreciate the time it takes to review a request such as ours and look forward to working with you.
Respectfully submitted,
Marlon Glines, Co - Owner

July 7, 1998
Otsego Mayor, City Council, Commissions, and Staff,
City Administrator Mike Robertson and I have discussed publishing a special
Comprehensive Plan issue of the Otsego View and timing delivery prior to the public
hearing. This could be an excellent means of presenting a synopsis of the revised plan
information to the citizens of Otsego in an easy to read format.
Some of the things that the city may wish to include are:
• A map that will reproduce clearly in 8-1/2" X 14" format for the center section.
• A synopsis of changes.
• How the Comprehensive Plan is utilized by the city, including how it will affect
development and sewer and water.
• The thought process and procedure that Planning Commission and Council have taken
to get to this point, including consideration of public opinions.
How residents can contribute their opinions.
Announcement of the hearing date.
Public hearing procedure.
Comments from the Mayor.
I would very much appreciate receiving assistance from city staff in compiling this
information.
Scheduling publication of this issue is dependent on when the City Council and Planning
Commission feel they are ready to set a hearing date, but I would need submissions a
minimum of two weeks before a Saturday distribution date. It would be better not to
schedule delivery during the September 5 Labor Day weekend. Also to consider, I will be
gone the weeks of August 2-8 and August 23-29.
Because this will be a special "All Comprehensive Plan" issue, we will not include the
regular columns on a feature business, Park & Rec Corner, and Historical Highlights.
Sincerely,

MEMO
Date: July 8, 1998
To: Mayor & Council
From: City Administrator Mike Robertson
Re: 1997 Audit Recommendations
City Accountant Gary Groen and I have the following
recommendations with regard to the 1997 audit.
TREE FUND
Per review of our records $610 has been donated in
the past to the City to be used for the planting of
trees. This money has never been accounted for
separately and is currently aggregated as part of
the General Fund. We recommend that this amount be
removed from the General Fund and accounted for in
a separate fund.
PARK SHELTER
Per review of our records $3,137 has been donated
to the City in the past to be used for construction
of a park shelter. The vast majority of this money
was donated at auctions the City held in the past.
This money has never been accounted for separately
and is currently aggregated as part of the General
Fund. We recommend that this amount be removed
from the General Fund and accounted for in a
separate fund.
REVOLVING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FUND
There are some funds that seem to be available to
assist with the financing of future capital
improvement projects. For example, on MSA
construction projects from 1992 to 1997 the City
has collected $97,391 in assessments. In addition,
there has been $27,416 in interest earned on the
cash in those accounts. This totals $124,807.
Assuming there are no other obligations on this
money, it could be used for another improvement.
There are also the funds remaining in the Project
94-2 (Odean & County Rd 37 Re -Alignment) account.
These funds total $11,361. As far as anyone knows
there is not any work remaining to be done on this
project. This account should be closed and the
funds transferred to another improvement account.
We recommend that the City set up a Revolving
Capital Improvement Fund. This fund would receive
transfers of any funds remaining in closed out
improvement projects. This fund would also receive
assessments paid by benefiting properties on MSA
projects. If the monies noted above had no other
obligations they would total $136,168, which would
be a good start toward establishing such a fund.
These monies are accounted for as part of various
project funds and would not be taken from the
General Fund.
Along with setting up this fund the City should
develop a policy governing it's use and the role it
should play in the financing of capital improvement
projects.

We are now at the midway point of the year. Wright County along with RiverRider has made
progress over the year, and we are hopeful that you are pleased with the services.
The intent of Wright County at this time is to continue with the growth and development of
RiverRider. As you prepare for your 1999 budget year, Wright County and RiverRider are
requesting that you plan for a financial contribution that matches your 1998 contribution. Please
send us your 1998 contribution of $3,195 at your earliest convenience.
Over the remainder of 1998, Wright County and RiverRider will look to improve services and
communication with your local community. The transportation task force will also be addressing the
issues of welfare -to -work, ridership, current goals, and future expansion.
Changes will also be taking place in the assigned staff. This past spring, Joyce Lundstrom retired
from Sherburne County and RiverRider. Her replacement will be announced in mid to late July. In
the interim, Sue Siemers has been the transit coordinator and will continue to do so until the new
individual is on the job. Additionally, I have resigned from my position with Wright County
effective July 23. Mary Bonlender will be your contact person until my replacement is hired.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (612) 682-7395 or 1-800-362-3667,
ext. 7395. You may also reach me via e-mail at bhb7395@co.wright.mn.us.

a county wide tattoo/body piercing parlor ordinance. Some townships and cities have not
responded with their opinion. If you had not responded, and wish to do so at this time, please
contact me at the address, or phone number listed below.
It has been determined that an ordinance will be pursued. The ordinance will require strict
infection control procedures governing tattoo and body piercing practices within Wright County.
If you wish to have input in the establishment of these procedures, have any questions, or wish to
further discuss the establishment of this ordinance, please feel free to telephone me at (612)682-
7512 or by mail to:

RE: Proposed Sewer Service Contract- Otsego and City of Dayton
Dear Council Members:
Enclosed for your review please find a draft agreement for sewer service between the
City of Dayton and City of Otsego. The draft is provided for City Council review and
discussion. A draft of this agreement will also be reviewed by the Dayton City Council at
their meeting on Tuesday.
Following are some of the pertinent portions of the Agreement:
1. The plant will be owned and operated by the City of Otsego. Dayton will contribute
1/5 of the initial costs of establishing the plant, which include land acquisition,
engineering, legal, construction and other related costs. Dayton's payment for these initial
costs will be made by August 30.
2. Dayton can request expansion of the plant, which they will pay for, with an upward
limit of 49% of the capacity of the plant or 1,500,000 gpd. Any expansion giving Dayton
more than 50% of plant capacity would require an amendment to the Agreement.
3. It is assumed that Otsego would not want to terminate the Contract. Dayton can only
terminate the agreement with two (2) years notice and having paid all funds for any
requested expansion.
4. Fees for services will be paid on a formula that requires payment for both fixed and
variable costs.
Letter to Otsego City Council
July 8, 1998
Page 2
5. The representatives from Dayton insist that there be some provision in the Agreement
that allows them to terminate the Agreement if the overall costs of the project are too
high. This was drafted as an option based upon a percentage of cost above an updated
engineer's estimate. It is assumed that Otsego would pick a figure that would be the same
percentage above the estimate at which Otsego would also be forced to abandon the
project. The figure was a matter that would be left to the respective Councils to decide
upon.
This draft agreement will be brought in front of the Council for review and discussion. I
have also forwarded it to the Dayton City Attorney, the City of Dayton, Mike Robertson
and John Harwood. I would expect that there may be changes by Monday based upon
their review and comments.
I will be available to discuss this matter further at the Otsego City Council meeting on
Monday.

SEWER USE AGREEMENT
CITY OF OTSEGO AND CITY OF DAYTON
WHEREAS, the City of Otsego (hereinafter "Otsego") is in the process of
constructing a wastewater treatment plant (hereinafter the "plant") near its border
with the City of Dayton (hereinafter "Dayton"), together with sewer lines from the
plant up to said border; and
WHEREAS, the Plant will be designed to have capacity for the disposal of
sewage from portions of Dayton and Otsego, and Otsego wants to allow Dayton to
use the plant for the disposal of sewage originating within portions of Dayton; and
WHEREAS, both Dayton and Otsego will assume responsibility for the
costs of original construction of the Plant, including land acquisition, engineering,
and costs related to reviewing the site and obtaining necessary permits; and
WHEREAS, Otsego will own and operate the plant with Dayton being
guaranteed the right to dispose of sewage at the Plant, subject to the terms and
conditions of this agreement; and
WHEREAS, Otsego and Dayton shall have exclusive ownership and
control of all sewer lines lying within their respective jurisdictions, with the
exception of that sewer line identified in Exhibit to this Agreement which is
that sewer line located within the City of Otsego which will be the primary line for
delivery of sewer service to Dayton (hereinafter referred to as the "Dayton service
line"), and which shall be under the exclusive ownership and control of Dayton;
and
WHEREAS, the Plant will be designed so that its disposal capacity can be
expanded and Dayton will have the right to request and receive reasonable
expansion of the plant's capacity to serve its future needs, under the terms and
conditions of this agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties by this agreement intend to establish an equitable
means of paying the ongoing cost of operating the plant based upon capacity and
usage, with the fee being charged to residents of each community for operation
being equal, and including costs for operation and maintenance of the plant.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties as follows:
1. Use Allowed. For the term of this agreement, Otsego hereby grants to
Dayton the right and license to dispose of sanitary sewage from within that
sanitary sewer service area within the City of Dayton as defined in the June,
1997, Study done by Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates (Figure 1),
and to have said sanitary sewage treated at the Otsego Wastewater
Treatment plant. Waste treatment done shall be in conformance with all
applicable laws and regulations which apply to the Plant and its operation.
The initial disposal capacity at the Plant that Dayton will be allowed is
40,000 gallons per day. The total amount of said sanitary sewage from
Dayton shall not exceed 1.5 million gallons per day, nor shall it at any time
exceed 49% of the available plant capacity at any given time, subject to
further restrictions as contained within this Agreement. If requested by
Otsego, Dayton shall adopt an ordinance governing use of sewers; provided
any such ordinance shall not be any more restrictive than the sewer use
ordinance in effect in Otsego.
2. Ownership. Dayton shall own, maintain and repair, at its sole expense,
those sewer lines within the borders of the City of Dayton which connect to
the Otsego sewer system. Otsego shall own, maintain and repair, at its sole
expense, the Wastewater treatment plant and the sewer lines lying within
the borders of Otsego, exclusive of the Dayton service line. All costs and
liability associated with the Dayton service line, including land acquisition
costs, engineering, construction and maintenance shall be paid for solely by
the City of Dayton. Upon acquisition of Otsego of the easement necessary
to construct the Dayton service line and upon receipt of full payment of all
land acquisition costs related to the Dayton service line by Dayton to
Otsego, Otsego agrees to convey by warranty deed to Dayton the acquired
easement for the Dayton service line. Necessary maintenance and repair of
the Dayton service line shall be paid for solely by the City of Dayton.
Otsego hereby grants the City of Dayton a right of entry to repair and
maintain the line, or Dayton may request that Otsego repair and maintain
the line with all costs for the same being the responsibility of Dayton.
3. Otsego Property Served By Dayton Service Line. The areas shown on the
attached Exhibit are lots which are within the municipal boundaries of
the City of Otsego. These lots, however will receive service through
connection with the Dayton system of sewer lines. Otsego agrees to fully
cooperate with Dayton in holding simultaneously all public hearings and
considering all necessary resolutions required by statute to assess those
properties for all costs and expenses related to sewer system construction.
Otsego agrees to remit to Dayton all portions of said assessment related to
Dayton's expenditures for construction of the system within thirty (30) days
2
after receipt from the property owner or from Wright County. Further,
Otsego agrees to bill those residences for ongoing service along with other
citizens of Otsego receiving service, said billing to include charges for
service related to delivery of service by Dayton at the rate established by
Dayton. All payments relative to Dayton service received by Otsego from
these property owners shall be transmitted to Dayton within 30 days of
receipt. In the event of non-payment of Dayton' ongoing service charges by
residents of Otsego, Otsego shall empower the City of Dayton to undertake
appropriate collection of any delinquent charges or assessments, including
assessment of delinquent amounts against the affected property. All
residents receiving service from and through the Dayton service line shall
be subject to regulations established by Dayton.
4. Initial Capital Contribution. Dayton shall pay one-fifth (115) of the
initial construction cost of the Plant. The initial construction cost includes
all preliminary engineering studies, plans and specifications, all costs
associated with environmental review and obtaining a discharge permit, all
costs of land acquisition for the plant site and discharge facilities to the
Crow River, construction inspection costs, and all costs for actual
construction of the facilities as set forth in the approved plans and
specifications as well as any approved change orders. This payment by
Dayton shall entitle it to the capacity allocation set forth herein.
Construction expense beyond the initial construction expense shall be
Otsego's alone, except in the event of Plant expansion to provide additional
sewer service to Dayton, as provided herein. Otsego shall provide Dayton
with an itemized billing of all costs listed above which have already been
paid by Otsego to the date of this Agreement. Dayton shall make payment
to Otsego for 20% of those costs previously paid by Otsego on or before
August 30, 1998. In the event that payment is not made by that date interest
on that amount will accrue at the same rate as the interest rate of bonds sold
by the City of Otsego for financing the project commencing upon the date
of this Agreement. All other bills received by the City of Otsego for any of
the above mentioned costs after August 30, 1998 shall be immediately
copied to Dayton along with a statement indicating the amount of that bill
to be paid by Dayton. Dayton shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
a statement make payment to Otsego for its portion of the bill submitted.
5. Preliminary Costs. All of those costs associated with land acquisition, and
construction of the Dayton service line shall be borne by Dayton. If Otsego
is requested to acquire the needed easements for construction of said line,
in conjunction with its proceedings for land acquisition, all costs related to
acquisition of property for the Dayton service line shall be billed to Dayton
3
at the time of expenditure, and Dayton agrees to promptly pay all such
billings. The parcels for the Dayton service line shall be separately
appraised and any settlement shall be subject to review by Dayton prior to
acquisition.
6. Agreement Termination. The parties have received an updated estimate of
construction costs (as defined previously in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement)
for the facility dated, ,1998 and attached hereto as Exhibit _
In the event that the actual construction cost, based upon bids received, and
easement costs exceed the estimate by % of said estimates, Dayton
may terminate this Agreement and all future obligations thereunder. Dayton
must exercise it rights of termination within fourteen (14) days of the
receipt of the actual cost, based on bids received, and negotiated, or
adjudicated settlements of easement acquisition costs. Otsego shall provide
said costs within seven (7) days of their receipt of the same.
7. Ongoing Service. Otsego hereby warrants and covenants that the Plant and
necessary lines and appurtenances, shall be available to Dayton for the
treatment and disposal of sewage in at least the amount of the capacity
granted under this Agreement from time to time, in conformance with all
applicable laws and regulations, except for periods of necessary or
emergency maintenance, or in the event that the plant is forced out of
operation by catastrophic events, including, but not limited to fire, flood,
storm, war, or any other natural or man made catastrophe. The warranty is
only to the extent of capacity as defined in this agreement. Otsego further
warrants and represents that the Plant will be properly licensed for the
disposal of sewage to the limits set forth in this Agreement
8. Fee Formula. Dayton shall pay a fee to Otsego for its share of operating
expense of the Plant. The fee to be paid by Dayton shall consist of two
components; a portion of the fixed operating expense and a portion of the
variable operating expense. Fixed Operating Expense shall include and be
limited to:
(a) Wages, salaries and related expense of all on-site employees
while engaged in the operation of the Plant.
(b) Insurance premiums for property damage to the plant.
(c) The cost of heating, air conditioning and lighting necessary for
the operation of the Plant.
4
(d) Laboratory and testing expense necessary for the operation of the
Plant.
Variable Operating Expense shall include and be limited to the following:
(a) The cost of materials and chemicals consumed in the
maintenance or repair of the Plant and the treatment and disposal
process at the Plant, including the costs of any contracted labor
or additional costs necessary to effect proper maintenance, repair
or disposal. Repairs are those actions necessary to maintain the
structural integrity of the facility and its various components
including access roads and fencing or other means of protecting
the facility. It is the intention of this Agreement that the facility
be maintained and repaired so that it is in the same state as a
similar, well maintained and repaired facility which has been in
use for the same period of time.
(b) The cost of sludge hauling and disposal.
(c) Other expenses incurred as a direct result of a statutory or State
regulatory requirement.
Dayton, for its share of the Fixed Operating Expense, shall pay: an amount
equal to the proportion of the capacity which is available to Dayton.
Dayton is currently allocated 115 of the capacity of the plant and will thus
pay 115 of the Fixed Operating Expense for the Plant. In the event Dayton
is allocated additional capacity under the terms of this agreement, then its
share of operating expenses shall be in the same proportion as the capacity
it is allocated.
2. Dayton for its share of the Variable Operating Expense shall pay an amount
equal to the proportion of the number of gallons of sewage Dayton places
into the plant in relation to the overall flow to the plant. By way example,
if the overall flow to the Plant is 200,000 gallons and Dayton contributes
40,000 gallons to the overall flow, it would be responsible for 20% of the
Variable Operating Expense. The amount of flow to the plant in total, or by
either parry, shall be determined by the flow meters at location agreed by
the City Engineers.
3. Payments shall be made by the City of Dayton on a quarterly basis,
beginning on the first month after the Plant is in operation and sewer
service is available to Dayton.
4. If an Operating or other expense is not listed above, it shall be the sole
responsibility of Otsego.
9. Right to Review. If either party wishes to challenge any the amount of
payment due, it shall be free to do so at its own expense, with the following
conditions:
Flow determination. Either party may challenge the amount or percentage of
flow that goes into the sewer line(s) serving Dayton by arranging for and paying
the cost of flow monitoring. The results of said flow monitoring shall be provided
to the other party, along with all supporting documentation. The non -challenging
party shall have 30 days to accept the results as presented or to undertake, at their
expense, their own flow monitoring. If no action is taken by the non -challenging
party within that time period, the flow determination as presented shall be deemed
binding on both parties. If the non -challenging party decides to challenge the
results, it shall have 45 days within which to complete the monitoring and present
the results. If the second monitoring produces a different result, the matter shall
be submitted to panel consisting of the city Engineer from Dayton, the City
Engineer from Otsego and a third party chosen by the two Engineers. The
determination of the panel shall be final as to the amount of flow attributable to
Dayton. The panel shall prescribe its own procedure for reaching a decision,
provided that each side will be afforded the reasonable opportunity to present
evidence and make inquiry of the opposing party.
Fee determination. If Dayton wishes to challenge the fee claimed by Otsego or
the calculations associated with it, Otsego will make available to Dayton all
records deemed necessary by Dayton to complete its review within two weeks of
the request. In the event Dayton and Otsego cannot agree on the fee to be charged
to Dayton, the dispute shall be submitted to the panel established in paragraph 6(a)
for determination.
10. Ownership and Maintenance of Lines. Dayton shall pay for, own and
maintain all sewer lines constructed within its boundaries, and the Dayton
service line. Dayton shall regularly maintain said lines so as to keep them in
good operating order. Dayton shall regularly inspect the lines and
immediately correct any problem which could adversely affect Otsego's
facilities or the Plant or which could result in inaccurate readings of flow
through said lines.
A
Otsego shall pay for, own and maintain the sewer plant and the sewer lines
constructed within its boundaries, with the exception of the Dayton service line.
Otsego shall regularly maintain said lines so as to keep them in good operating
order. Otsego shall regularly inspect the lines and immediately correct any
problem which would adversely affect or interfere with delivery of service to
Dayton. All services provided at the Plant by Otsego shall be done in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations.
11. Expansion. At the request of Dayton, Otsego shall expand the capacity of
the Plant to accommodate additional sewage disposal needs of Dayton,
under the following conditions:
(a) Dayton has Minnesota Pollution Control Agency approval for
the proposed expansion of the Plant.
(b). Dayton has secured plans for the expansion of the Plant from an
engineer/architect properly licensed by the State of Minnesota to
design such a facility and the plans are approved by Otsego, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c). Dayton has demonstrated that it has the financing to pay for the
proposed expansion, by either an approved bond issue or loan.
(d). The expansion shall not cause the overall capacity to Dayton to
exceed 1.5 million gallons per day, nor shall it at any time cause
Dayton to have more than 49% of the available capacity of the plant.
If at the time of Dayton's request for expansion of capacity for its use,
Otsego has what it determines to be available unused capacity, Otsego may
offer such unused capacity to Dayton as an alternative to expansion. Any
agreement for use by Dayton of Otsego's unused capacity shall be done
through further amendment to this Agreement.
12. Remedies. (a) Otsego Remedies. In the event Dayton violates any
provision of this agreement by non-payment, Otsego shall have the right to
bring an action for payment after giving 30 days written notice of the
default. If Dayton does not fulfill its obligations under this agreement in
any other way, Otsego shall give 10 days written notice of the default.
Dayton shall have 10 days to cure the default or to set forth a plan for
curing the default within a reasonable time, in light of the nature of the
default and other relevant circumstances. If Dayton fails to cure the default
7
-i
or put forward a reasonable plan for curing the default, Otsego may seek
appropriate injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief. The foregoing
is not a limitation on other legal or equitable remedies which Otsego may
have available to it.
13. Dayton Remedies. In the event Otsego fails to fulfill its obligations,
warranties and representations the City of Dayton shall provide 30 days
written notice of said failure to Otsego. Otsego shall have 10 days to cure
the default or to set forth a plan for curing the default within a reasonable
time, in light of the nature of the default and other relevant circumstances.
Provided, however, that if a default by Otsego results sewer service to the
City of Dayton below Dayton's allocated capacity under this agreement,
Otsego must immediately correct the problem upon Written Notice by the
City of Dayton. If Otsego fails to cure said default, Dayton may seek
appropriate injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief. The foregoing is
not a limitation on other legal or equitable remedies which Dayton may
have available to it.
14. Notice and Termination. Dayton shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time, but not until construction of the plant has been
completed and Dayton has paid all of its share of initial plant capitol and
related expenses. If a scheduled or requested expansion of the plant has
been undertaken, Dayton shall not be able to request termination of this
Agreement until after completion of construction of any such expansion and
payment of Dayton of all of its share of capitol costs and related expenses
incurred due to the plant expansion. The termination shall take effect two
(2) years after written notice is given by Dayton of its intention to terminate
the Agreement. In the event of termination, all obligations of Dayton to
make payment to Otsego, except for funds expended prior to the date of
termination shall cease upon the effective date of the termination.
15. Land Application Of Sewage Sludge. In the event that Otsego is not able
to find adequate areas outside of both Cities for land application of sewage
sludge, by contract or otherwise, and sewage sludge must be applied to
lands within its boundaries, Dayton agrees to provide appropriate disposal

Otsego hereby grants the City of Dayton a right of entry to repair and
maintain the line, or Dayton may request that Otsego repair and maintain
the line with all costs for the same being the responsibility of Dayton.
3. Otsego Property Served By Dayton Service Line. The areas shown on the
attached Exhibit are lots which are within the municipal boundaries of
the City of Otsego. These lots, however will receive service through
connection with the Dayton system of sewer lines. Otsego agrees to fully
cooperate with Dayton in holding simultaneously all public hearings and
considering all necessary resolutions required by statute to assess those
properties for all costs and expenses related to sewer system construction.
Otsego agrees to remit to Dayton all portions of said assessment related to
Dayton's expenditures for construction of the system within thirty (30) days
2
after receipt from the property owner or from Wright County. Further,
Otsego agrees to bill those residences for ongoing service along with other
citizens of Otsego receiving service, said billing to include charges for
service related to delivery of service by Dayton at the rate established by
Dayton. All payments relative to Dayton service received by Otsego from
these property owners shall be transmitted to Dayton within 30 days of
receipt. In the event of non-payment of Dayton' ongoing service charges by
residents of Otsego, Otsego shall empower the City of Dayton to undertake
appropriate collection of any delinquent charges or assessments, including

costs of land acquisition for the plant site and discharge facilities to the
Crow River, construction inspection costs, and all costs for actual
construction of the facilities as set forth in the approved plans and
specifications as well as any approved change orders. This payment by
Dayton shall entitle it to the capacity allocation set forth herein.
Construction expense beyond the initial construction expense shall be
Otsego's alone, except in the event of Plant expansion to provide additional
sewer service to Dayton, as provided herein. Otsego shall provide Dayton
with an itemized billing of all costs listed above which have already been
paid by Otsego to the date of this Agreement. Dayton shall make payment
to Otsego for 20% of those costs previously paid by Otsego on or before
August 30, 1998. In the event that payment is not made by that date interest
on that amount will accrue at the same rate as the interest rate of bonds sold
by the City of Otsego for financing the project commencing upon the date
of this Agreement. All other bills received by the City of Otsego for any of
the above mentioned costs after August 30, 1998 shall be immediately
copied to Dayton along with a statement indicating the amount of that bill
to be paid by Dayton. Dayton shall within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
a statement make payment to Otsego for its portion of the bill submitted.
5. Preliminary Costs. All of those costs associated with land acquisition, and
construction of the Dayton service line shall be borne by Dayton. If Otsego
is requested to acquire the needed easements for construction of said line,
in conjunction with its proceedings for land acquisition, all costs related to
acquisition of property for the Dayton service line shall be billed to Dayton
3
at the time of expenditure, and Dayton agrees to promptly pay all such
billings. The parcels for the Dayton service line shall be separately
appraised and any settlement shall be subject to review by Dayton prior to
acquisition.
6. Agreement Termination. The parties have received an updated estimate of
construction costs (as defined previously in Paragraph 4 of this Agreement)
for the facility dated, ,1998 and attached hereto as Exhibit _
In the event that the actual construction cost, based upon bids received, and
easement costs exceed the estimate by % of said estimates, Dayton
may terminate this Agreement and all future obligations thereunder. Dayton
must exercise it rights of termination within fourteen (14) days of the
receipt of the actual cost, based on bids received, and negotiated, or
adjudicated settlements of easement acquisition costs. Otsego shall provide
said costs within seven (7) days of their receipt of the same.
7. Ongoing Service. Otsego hereby warrants and covenants that the Plant and
necessary lines and appurtenances, shall be available to Dayton for the
treatment and disposal of sewage in at least the amount of the capacity
granted under this Agreement from time to time, in conformance with all
applicable laws and regulations, except for periods of necessary or
emergency maintenance, or in the event that the plant is forced out of
operation by catastrophic events, including, but not limited to fire, flood,
storm, war, or any other natural or man made catastrophe. The warranty is
only to the extent of capacity as defined in this agreement. Otsego further
warrants and represents that the Plant will be properly licensed for the
disposal of sewage to the limits set forth in this Agreement
8. Fee Formula. Dayton shall pay a fee to Otsego for its share of operating
expense of the Plant. The fee to be paid by Dayton shall consist of two
components; a portion of the fixed operating expense and a portion of the
variable operating expense. Fixed Operating Expense shall include and be
limited to:
(a) Wages, salaries and related expense of all on-site employees
while engaged in the operation of the Plant.
(b) Insurance premiums for property damage to the plant.
(c) The cost of heating, air conditioning and lighting necessary for
the operation of the Plant.
4
(d) Laboratory and testing expense necessary for the operation of the
Plant.
Variable Operating Expense shall include and be limited to the following:
(a) The cost of materials and chemicals consumed in the
maintenance or repair of the Plant and the treatment and disposal
process at the Plant, including the costs of any contracted labor
or additional costs necessary to effect proper maintenance, repair
or disposal. Repairs are those actions necessary to maintain the
structural integrity of the facility and its various components
including access roads and fencing or other means of protecting
the facility. It is the intention of this Agreement that the facility
be maintained and repaired so that it is in the same state as a
similar, well maintained and repaired facility which has been in
use for the same period of time.
(b) The cost of sludge hauling and disposal.
(c) Other expenses incurred as a direct result of a statutory or State
regulatory requirement.
Dayton, for its share of the Fixed Operating Expense, shall pay: an amount
equal to the proportion of the capacity which is available to Dayton.
Dayton is currently allocated 115 of the capacity of the plant and will thus
pay 115 of the Fixed Operating Expense for the Plant. In the event Dayton
is allocated additional capacity under the terms of this agreement, then its
share of operating expenses shall be in the same proportion as the capacity
it is allocated.
2. Dayton for its share of the Variable Operating Expense shall pay an amount
equal to the proportion of the number of gallons of sewage Dayton places
into the plant in relation to the overall flow to the plant. By way example,
if the overall flow to the Plant is 200,000 gallons and Dayton contributes
40,000 gallons to the overall flow, it would be responsible for 20% of the
Variable Operating Expense. The amount of flow to the plant in total, or by
either party, shall be determined by the flow meters at location agreed by
the City Engineers.
3. Payments shall be made by the City of Dayton on a quarterly basis,
beginning on the first month after the Plant is in operation and sewer
service is available to Dayton.
4. If an Operating or other expense is not listed above, it shall be the sole
responsibility of Otsego.
9. Right to Review. If either party wishes to challenge any the amount of
payment due, it shall be free to do so at its own expense, with the following
conditions:
Flow determination. Either party may challenge the amount or percentage of
flow that goes into the sewer line(s) serving Dayton by arranging for and paying
the cost of flow monitoring. The results of said flow monitoring shall be provided
to the other party, along with all supporting documentation. The non -challenging
party shall have 30 days to accept the results as presented or to undertake, at their
expense, their own flow monitoring. If no action is taken by the non -challenging
party within that time period, the flow determination as presented shall be deemed
binding on both parties. If the non -challenging party decides to challenge the
results, it shall have 45 days within which to complete the monitoring and present
the results. If the second monitoring produces a different result, the matter shall
be submitted to panel consisting of the city Engineer from Dayton, the City
Engineer from Otsego and a third party chosen by the two Engineers. The
determination of the panel shall be final as to the amount of flow attributable to
Dayton. The panel shall prescribe its own procedure for reaching a decision,
provided that each side will be afforded the reasonable opportunity to present
evidence and make inquiry of the opposing parry.
Fee determination. If Dayton wishes to challenge the fee claimed by Otsego or
the calculations associated with it, Otsego will make available to Dayton all
records deemed necessary by Dayton to complete its review within two weeks of
the request. In the event Dayton and Otsego cannot agree on the fee to be charged
to Dayton, the dispute shall be submitted to the panel established in paragraph 6(a)
for determination.
10. Ownership and Maintenance of Lines. Dayton shall pay for, own and
maintain all sewer lines constructed within its boundaries, and the Dayton
service line. Dayton shall regularly maintain said lines so as to keep them in
good operating order. Dayton shall regularly inspect the lines and
immediately correct any problem which could adversely affect Otsego's
facilities or the Plant or which could result in inaccurate readings of flow
through said lines.
9
Otsego shall pay for, own and maintain the sewer plant and the sewer lines
constructed within its boundaries, with the exception of the Dayton service line.
Otsego shall regularly maintain said lines so as to keep them in good operating
order. Otsego shall regularly inspect the lines and immediately correct any
problem which would adversely affect or interfere with delivery of service to
Dayton. All services provided at the Plant by Otsego shall be done in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations.
11. Expansion. At the request of Dayton, Otsego shall expand the capacity of
the Plant to accommodate additional sewage disposal needs of Dayton,
under the following conditions:
(a) Dayton has Minnesota Pollution Control Agency approval for
the proposed expansion of the Plant.
(b). Dayton has secured plans for the expansion of the Plant from an
engineer/architect properly licensed by the State of Minnesota to
design such a facility and the plans are approved by Otsego, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c). Dayton has demonstrated that it has the financing to pay for the
proposed expansion, by either an approved bond issue or loan.
(d). The expansion shall not cause the overall capacity to Dayton to
exceed 1.5 million gallons per day, nor shall it at any time cause
Dayton to have more than 49% of the available capacity of the plant.
If at the time of Dayton's request for expansion of capacity for its use,
Otsego has what it determines to be available unused capacity, Otsego may
offer such unused capacity to Dayton as an alternative to expansion. Any
agreement for use by Dayton of Otsego's unused capacity shall be done
through further amendment to this Agreement.
12. Remedies. (a) Otsego Remedies. In the event Dayton violates any
provision of this agreement by non-payment, Otsego shall have the right to
bring an action for payment after giving 30 days written notice of the
default. If Dayton does not fulfill its obligations under this agreement in
any other way, Otsego shall give 10 days written notice of the default.
Dayton shall have 10 days to cure the default or to set forth a plan for
curing the default within a reasonable time, in light of the nature of the
default and other relevant circumstances. If Dayton fails to cure the default
F
or put forward a reasonable plan for curing the default, Otsego may seek
appropriate injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief. The foregoing
is not a limitation on other legal or equitable remedies which Otsego may
have available to it.
13. Dayton Remedies. In the event Otsego fails to fulfill its obligations,
warranties and representations the City of Dayton shall provide 30 days
written notice of said failure to Otsego. Otsego shall have 10 days to cure
the default or to set forth a plan for curing the default within a reasonable
time, in light of the nature of the default and other relevant circumstances.
Provided, however, that if a default by Otsego results sewer service to the
City of Dayton below Dayton's allocated capacity under this agreement,
Otsego must immediately correct the problem upon Written Notice by the
City of Dayton. If Otsego fails to cure said default, Dayton may seek
appropriate injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief. The foregoing is
not a limitation on other legal or equitable remedies which Dayton may
have available to it.
14. Notice and Termination. Dayton shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time, but not until construction of the plant has been
completed and Dayton has paid all of its share of initial plant capitol and
related expenses. If a scheduled or requested expansion of the plant has
been undertaken, Dayton shall not be able to request termination of this
Agreement until after completion of construction of any such expansion and
payment of Dayton of all of its share of capitol costs and related expenses
incurred due to the plant expansion. The termination shall take effect two
(Z) years after written notice is given by Dayton of its intention to terminate
the Agreement. In the event of termination, all obligations of Dayton to
make payment to Otsego, except for funds expended prior to the date of
termination shall cease upon the effective date of the termination.
15. Land Application Of Sewage Sludge. In the event that Otsego is not able
to find adequate areas outside of both Cities for land application of sewage
sludge, by contract or otherwise, and sewage sludge must be applied to
lands within its boundaries, Dayton agrees to provide appropriate disposal
capacity for application of sludge in proportion to its share of the existing
plant capacity at that time. Dayton's responsibility to provide such disposal
capacity shall increase or decrease over time in relation to its proportion of
existing plant capacity.
0
16. Term. This agreement shall be in effect for twenty five (25) years from the
date hereof and shall be renewable by Dayton for two (2) additional twenty
five (25) year terms following the initial term. Dayton must give written
notice of its intention to renew the agreement six (6) months prior to the
end of the initial or renewal term. Following the initial three (3) terms set
forth above, Otsego agrees to enter good faith negotiations with Dayton
concerning extension of this agreement if reqested by Dayton. Any such
request shall be made at least 1 year prior to termination date of this
agreement.
17. Indemnity. Dayton shall defend and indemnify Otsego for any claims
arising from Dayton's operation of sewer lines within the boundaries of
Dayton and the Dayton service line. Otsego shall defend and indemnify
Dayton for any claims arising from its operation of the Plant or sewer lines
located within the boundaries of Otsego, except for claims arising from the
Dayton service line.
18. Modification Of Agreement. In the event that Otsego determines to
provide sewer service to those areas of the City which would require use of
the Dayton service line, or any other change to the Agreement, shall be
modified only by written Agreement of both parties.
19. Notice. All notices required by this Agreement shall be in written form and
shall be deemed delivered upon its receipt by the City Clerk of either party.

Fax 612/427-441-0520
I have assembled information on the Mississippi Shores road shouldering work and
recommend completion of the project in part with city forces and in part via a day labor
contract with Mastercraft Landscaping. The estimated cost to complete is $17,000.
This could be somewhat higher or lower depending on actual time required for the work.
1) Project Funding
The 1996 Capital Project Bond Sale provided funding for the Island View
and Mississippi Shores projects. The proceeds from the $665,000 bond
sale have been used to pay project costs to date. As of this time, the
proceeds are still held within a construction fund pending final closure of
construction. In reviewing the fund balance with Gary Groen, $32,000 is
available for construction costs. The recommendation is to pay the
project costs of shouldering from available funds. Upon completion, any
remaining funds along with the anticipated proceeds from the project
assessments will be transferred into a debt retirement fund dedicated to
the 1996 bonds.
2) Project Procedure
The work is proposed as a combination of work by City forces and a
"Day Labor" contract. The City has a topsoil stockpile at Prairie Park.
The City has a loader, a truck and a truck mounted belt type distributor to
place the topsoil in a windrow. The Day Labor contract is proposed to be
with Mastercraft Landscaping, a local contractor who has the necessary
expertise as well as the automotive and public liability insurance to
perform the required work within City streets. The contract work will be
on an hourly basis, under supervision of the City Engineer. Attached are
sketches and memos relative to the work.

DESIGN MEMO
By John A. Harwood, PE
RE: Mississippi Shores Shoulder
DATE: July 7, 1998
4�-/-
The intent is to complete tl�construction project for the Mississippi Shores
bituminous overlay by placing topsoil shoulders & seed. In a discussion with Dave
Chase, he can provide one City employee, the City loader and truck, and can haul
and transport topsoil to the project area and by use of a truck mounted shouldering
"belt" can windrow the topsoil in place. The recommendation and intent is to then
engage a landscape contractor to spread the topsoil, firm or compact it and rake in
grass seed and fertilizer.
A) SCOPE OF WORK
Mississippi Shores area -z� 4 % miles or 24,000 LF of street. Of this,
approximately 20,000 LF of shoulder or 40% requires topsoil.
Goal 1: Topsoil elevation should be approximately '/2" to 3/a" lower than
pavement.
Goal 2: Ground should be such that a riding lawn mower can cut grass,
running parallel to street with one wheel on the pavement. This
requires a relatively smooth transition from pavement to ditch
slope.
Intent is to enhance ability of property owners to keep boulevards mowed
and maintained. Project work is localized topsoiling as required, with the
extent and location of topsoil placement based on judgement.
B) PRODUCTION AND ESTIMATED COST
1) Topsoil will be provided and "windrowed" in place by City employee.
12 yd' truck with rear belt conveyor. Production about 100 yd / 8 hr
day � 3500 LF of shoulder per day. Work period estimated at 50
hours.
2) Labor to rake, smooth and seed, production about 200 LF per hour per
2 person crew. Provide 2 crews plus foreman = 5 people

RE: Shouldering Work, Mississippi Shores
Dear Mike,
Based on July 2, 1998 field review of the Mississippi Shore area, it is my
judgement that a City project that uses a shouldering machine for the work is not
appropriate to the need. The majority of the shoulder areas look very good with
topsoil matching the pavement and with vegetation well established. There are
areas that total about '10% of the shoulder length that need topsoil which in some
places is to a depth of 6 to 8 inches. What the project needs is a landscape type
contractor, someone with one or two dump trucks, a small loader and an operator
to deliver material. The placement appears to be best done by manual labor with
shovels to spread topsoil on the limited areas that need fill. Manual labor also
seems best to spread and rake seed into the topsoil. There is likely a use for small
bobcat type equipment to help spread and level topsoil. This is a low-tech job that
in my judgement is easily and best done by manual labor and small equipment. I
recommend that the work be accomplished by day labor contract. It does not seem
appropriate to solicit sealed bids for this type of handwork.
Attached for your information is the section from Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429
on day labor. The law allows the council to get these types and sizes of jobs done
in "any manner the council considers proper" subject to reasonable authorization,
supervision and reporting requirements.
There are several key aspects that we should discuss in order to establish
procedures.
First, the day labor procedures reference plans and specifications and a detailed
report showing work and material cost and a certification of compliance with the
plans. The plans & specifications take some effort to prepare, and with anticipation
of costs related to supervision and certification, the council should authorize and
direct preparation of documents for the day labor work by adoption of a resolution.
Engineers Landscape Architects Surveyors
Mike Robertson

July 6, 1998
Second, since this is an expenditure of public funds, council award of contract via
a resolution is appropriate. A resolution is recommended by which the Council
authorizes the Mayor and Administrator to enter into any specific contract for day
labor.
Third, for any and all contract work performed for the City, the contractor must
provide insurance to cover his activities, especially on City streets. As we are
preparing specifications or soliciting cost data from contractors, the insurance
requirements must be kept in mind.
The procedures seem to be:
1) Council passes a resolution directing preparation of plans and
specifications and authorizing solicitation of costs for a specific day
labor project.
2) The City engineer (or other designated person) prepares the plans,
specifications and other appropriate documents, obtains quotations or
cost data, prepares contract documents, reviews insurance provisions
and makes a recommendation to the council regarding a contract.
3) The Council passes a resolution authorizing the City to enter into the
day labor contract.
4) Work is performed and the required report is made.
For the current project on Mississippi Shores the initial resolution directing
preparation of documents is probably not necessary. The plans and specifications
will be complete based on the documents that were prepared last year for
quotations. I will modify them, solicit day labor pricing and then prepare a package
for City council approval.

EXCERPT FROM MINNESOTA STATUTES CHAPTER 429
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
429.41 COUNCIL PROCEDURE.
Subd. 2. Contracts; day labor. When it appears to the council that the cost
of the entire work projected will be less than $25,000, the council may directly
purchase the materials for the work and do it by the employment of day labor or in
any other manner the council considers proper. The council may have the work
supervised by the city engineer or other qualified person but shall have the work
supervised by a registered engineer if done by day labor and it appears to the
council that the entire cost of all work and materials for the improvement will be
more than $10,000.
Subd. 3. Day labor; detailed report. When the council has performed
construction work by day labor, it shall cause a detailed report to be filed with the
clerk and certified by the registered engineer or other person in charge, if there is
no registered engineer. The report shall show:
(a) the complete cost of the construction;
(b) final quantities of the various units of work done;
(c) materials furnished for the project and the cost of each item thereof;
(d) cost of labor, cost of equipment hired, and supervisory costs.
The report shall have attached a certificate by the registered engineer or

An Ordinance Regulating Special Events
And Establishing Permit Requirements
Section 1. Purpose and Findings. The purpose of this ordinance is to protect the health,
safety and welfare of the citizens of Otsego by regulating the time, place and manner of
conduct of Special Events and by establishing permit requirements for conducting Special
Events as such are herein defined. The Otsego City Council finds that Special Events
often exceed the City's capacity to provide usual city services. Such city services include,
but are not limited to sanitary, fire, police, and utility service. The Otsego City Council
also finds these regulations necessary to ensure that such events are conducted with
sufficient consideration given to public safety issues, including, among other things, the
impact of such events on parking and vehicular traffic within the City.
Section I Definitions. For purposes of this ordinance, the following terms shall have the
meanings given to them:
a. `Person' is defined as a natural person, association, organization, club, group
formed for a common purpose, partnership of any kind, limited liability company,

b. `Special Event' is defined as an outdoor gathering of at least +W 5Q individuals,
whether on public or private property, assembled with a common purpose for a period of
one hour or longer. Special events include, but are not limited to concerts, fairs, carnivals,
circuses, parades, flee markets, marathons, walkathons, festivals, races, bicycle events,
celebrations or any other gathering or event of similar nature. Special events do not
include non-commercial events held on private 12ropet y such as grad. nation parties or
social parties.
Section 3_ Permit Required. No person shall hold, conduct or participate in a Special
Event within the City, unless a permit has been issued for such event upon timely written
application made to the City.

made at least 45 34 days in advance of the event's proposed date in a form prescribed by
the City Council. This application period shall not begin to run until a complete
application has been tiled with the City. Application forms shall be made available in the
Office of the City Clerk. A fee, in the amount set by the City's fee schedule, shall be paid
to the City along with the completed application form. Failure to provide a complete
application or to pay the fee, as herein required, is sufficient reason to deny the Special
Event permit.
Section 5_ Issuance of Permit, Conditions, Posting. Special Event permits will be issued
upon Council approval. The Council may attach such reasonable conditions to the permit
as are deemed necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Such conditions
may pertain to any of the following:
a. location and hours during which the event may be held.
b. sanitation/ availability of potable water.

MEMO
Date: July 7, 1998
To: Public Works Committee
From: City Administrator Mike Robertson
Re: Financing for Public Improvement Projects
The Public Works Committee directed staff to look
for a means of financing the shouldering work in
Mississippi Shores. City Accountant Gary Groen,
City Engineer John Harwood, and I have been
examining the City's accounts. We have some
suggestions, both for financing Mississippi Shores
and other capital improvement projects.
Mississiippi Shores Improvement Project - There is
$72,353 remaining in the Mississippi Shores bond
fund. This money comes from two sources;
1) The cost estimates that the City used for
bonding turned out to be much higher than the
actual costs.
2) The interest earned on the money over the past
few years.
RECOMMENDATION: There is more than adequate money
remaining in the fund to finish the Mississippi
Shores improvement. The bond resolution for
Mississippi Shores requires the remaining funds to
be deposited in the bond fund until the bonds are
all paid off. Once the bonds are all paid off, any
remaining funds can be used on another improvement
project.
Financing Future Calpi-tal Tmnrov m nProjects -
There are some funds that seem to be available to
assist with the financing of future capital
improvement projects. For example, on MSA
construction projects from 1992 to 1997 the City
has collected $97,391 in assessments. In addition,
there has been $27,416 in interest earned on the
cash in those accounts. This totals $124,807.
Assuming there are no other obligations on this
money, it could be used for another improvement.
There are also the funds remaining in the Project
94-2 (Odean & County Rd 37 Re -Alignment) account.
These funds total $11,361. As far as anyone knows
there is not any work remaining to be done on this
project. This account should be closed and the
funds transferred to another improvement account.
RECOMMENDATION: The City should set up a Revolving
Capital Improvement Fund. This fund would receive
transfers of any funds remaining in closed out
improvement projects. This fund would also receive
assessments paid by benefiting properties on MSA
projects. If the monies noted above had no other
obligations they would total $136,168, which would
be a good start toward establishing such a fund.
Along with setting up this fund the City should
develop a policy governing it's use and the role it
should play in the financing of capital improvement
projects.

Re: 1998 Six Month Building Permit Report
During the first six months of 1998 the City has
approved 104 building permits, including 23 new
homes. The total valuation of all the permits is
$3,569,461. The City share of building permit fees
is $22,910. That is slightly behind projections
for the year, but the busiest part of the building
season is ahead.
