I
Call to Order. pur~uant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St.
Joseph met on Thyrsday, December 16, 1999 at 7:00 p.m, in the St.Joseph City Hall.
I
Members Present: I Mayor Kenneth J. Hiemenz, Bob Loso, Cory Ehlert, Ken Twit and Mary
Niedenfuer, and Clerk-Administrator Cari Schmidt and Deputy Clerk Judy Weyrens.
I
Others Present: Mark Zimmer, Dave Theisen, Steve Streng, Carol Tamm, Mark Loso and
Mark Lambert. I
I
I
Approve Agenda:Loso made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Ehlert.
Hiemenz stated that the Franklin Sign Relocation would be removed and discussed at a
future meeting. . Th'e motion passed unanimously.
I
7:00 - Public Hea~ing - Liquor License Fees,- Weyrens reported thatsome concern has
been expressed re'gardingtheliquor license fees as we are not raising any other fees.
Weyrens stated that the, City does. look at other fees periodically and does raise them as
needed., Theliquo~ license fees have not been raised in at least 14 years, Weyrens provided
a chart to the Council, detailing the on sale intoxicating liquor license fees in other Cities in the
region. She pointed outthatSt.Joseph appears to be low as compared to the other cities.
Staff is proposing a'n increase of $600, from $1700 to $2300. The Council may also,want to
increase the fee in phases such as $300 per year for the next two years or $200 per year for
the next three years.
. I
I
Ehlert thankedWeyrens for including the information from other communities. He stated that
he understands that other communities charge a general business license that St. Joseph
doesn't charge. He understands that the City can justify the fee because the need for
increased police pr~sence that liquor establishments. He stated that despite that, the other
businesses in town ¡ benefit from street plowing and sweeping. Many of them are renters and
probably don't payintothe property tax system at all. Twit stated that these types of fees are
often included in the rent that they pay to the owners of the property, so that they are
indirectly paying f01 property taxes.
Mark Zimmer, .own~r of the La Playette,addressed the Council. He stated that it is his
opinion that the pro'posed fee is out of balance with what other communities are charging. In
addition, sOrneof tHese other communities don't charge thearnusement license fee that we
charge. This amouht may be small, but it does amount to something. Zimmer stated that
there is no other bu'siness out there that is as regulated as liquor establishments. There are a
great deal of other (ees that are also apart of this busine~s. Zimmer asked the Council if
they were looking at otherfees or ifthe,on sale intoxicating were the only ones that they were
changing. Zimmer ~Isostatedthathe looked at the City budget increases and the largest
increase any one City budget will see is 15%.
I
I
Twit asked what ot~erCitieshave amusement licenses and Zimmer stated WaitePark,Sauk
Rapids, SartellandiSt. Cloud. Zimmer stated that St.Cloudcan charge higher prices for their
products and get av.¡ay with it., He also stated that the percentagesales of liquor have been
going down as comparedwitl1 years past. He is also competing with franchises like TGI
Fridays and others.IZimmer stated that healso doesn't agree thatthe police need to spend
I
anymore time in his establishment than other businesses. He also thinks there should be a
. general business fêe charged.

Weyrens stated that after speaking with the City Attorney, he has advised us that we can't
charge a general license fee. Although there is one City in the area that does (Clearwater), .
there is no legal basis for such a license. The clerk in Clearwater is new and doesn't know
the history or rationale behind the license.
Niedenfuer stated that it is pretty clear and obvious that bars will produce more of a need for
Police enforcement. There is just more of a need to spend time with an establishment of that
type simply because of the problems that alcohol can create. Zimmer stated that it is the
officer's decision to be there. He never asked them to spend more time there. Niedenfuer
stated that is just part of owning a bar.. Loso asked Zimmer if he was asking for no increase?
Zimmer said no, but that the increase that is being proposed is unfair, especially if you look at
the increased percentages in the City budgets. Twit stated that Zimmer is comparing apples
to oranges by talking about the percentage increases in the City budgets. Other businesses
also incur costs for professional licenses or taxes. Twit also added that if you look at the
structure and the current fee, only four other cities have fees lower than St. Joseph does.
Hiemenz stated that we haven't raised our licensing fees in a long time, and this is a way for
the City to generate some revenue and recoup some costs incurred by the time spent by our
Police Departments.
Weyrens stated that $600 was merely a suggestion. Ehlert suggested $500 over two years,
which puts St. Joseph in the mid range for the license fees as compared to other cities, which
would be a 15% increase in each year. Zimmer stated that a 30% increase over two years is
very expensive. Twit asked if Zimmer would rather have a standard 2% increase every year?
Niedenfuer stated that she is uncomfortable negotiating this way. Zimmer stated that he
employs many St. Joseph residents and has a business that contributes to the property taxes
of St. Joseph. It should be important that this discussion take place.
Twit stated that $2200-$2300 is in the midrange and should be our goal for the next three .
years. Twit made a motion to increase the license fee by $200 for the next three years.
Niedenfuer seconded the motion. Loso stated that$200 seems high and maybe $100 should
be considered. Hiemenz stated thatthree years is also a long time and may restrict the
actions of future Councils. Hiemenz asked for a vote on Twit's motion. The motion passed
3:2.
Yes: Niedenfuer, Hiemenz, Twit
No: Loso, Ehlert.
4. Continuation of Truth in Taxation -Approvalof 2000 levy and budget - Weyrens
reported that staff found $6,000 worth of budget cuts, that would leave us only $3000 short of
a balanced budget. She distributed a sheet listing the items by account. She reported that
the proposed cuts are based on the past expenditure history. The cuts included a $1,000 cut
from the Council meeting fund (101-1110-101), $500 from Legislative Bodies (101-41120-
103), $1,000 from the insurance premiums for administration (101-41430-131), $2,000 from
the insurance premiums for the Police Department (101-42120-131), $500 from software
support (101-42120-215) and $1,000 from street lighting (101-43160-386). Weyrens
reported that the insurance premiums for Administration are allocated differently beginning in
1999. Also with the change in staff the insurance premiums are considerably different and
this budget represents a mOre accurate number,
Loso asked what 1999 looked like and if we would have leftover funds. Weyrens said that we
should be fine with the $3,000 difference. Every year we get an insurance reimbursement
that we typically budget low for.
Twit stated that we'll probably be spending money hiring this Pqlice Chief too. However, we .
are saving money now in not having a chief on staff. Loso asked Weyrens if she would put
2

together a cost ana'lysis of what we paid out to the former chief, and what we are saving in
· not having anyone in the position.
I
i
Hiemenz said that~statement was recently made about the City spending over 50% of their
budget on crime cohtrol. This 50% goes to public safety in general, which also includes the
fire department I
Weyrens presented the resolution adopting the proposed tax levy. The total debt levy is
$155,420, and the general fund tax levy is 368,465. These levies will support a general fund
budget of $1,207,664.
I
Loso made a motion to adopt the resolution adopting the proposed tax levy, approving the
1999 tax levy" col/eptible in 2000. Twit seconded the motion with the addition that if the 1999
budget shows that there 1s revenue in excess of the expenditures that these funds will be
al/ocated to balancing the, 2000 budget. Loso accepted the amended motion' and it passed
unanimously. ,I
5 Consent Agenda + Approval of 3.2 Malt Liquor, amusement and cigarette license
renewals - Schmiqt stated that there are two changes to the consent agenda. As of 2000,
the College of St Benedict will no longer be selling cigarettes, and Casey's will no longer be
selling 3.2 beer. Losomade a motion to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Twit. The
motion passed unarimously.
I
6 Approve Minutest-City Council 12/02/99 and Truth in Taxation 12/01/99. Loso made a
motion to approve both sets of minutes, seconded by Twit. The motion passed unanimously.
I
¡
7 Bills Payable and pvertime/Callouts- Weyrens explained a few of the expenditures: Lions
· donation to Memorial Park, street signs for 90th and 91 S\ and the fire hall cleaningfor six
months. Twit madeia motion to approve the bills payable, seconded by Ehlert The motion
passed unanimously.
I
Callouts- A question was raised as to why DickTaufen had overtime for a standoff event.
Staff explained tha~ he spent time putting up barricades. ,Ehlert asked whaUhe meeting was
for with Jeff Young 'and the Commissioner of Public Safety. Schmidt stated she would find
out. Twit made a motion to approve the cal/outs, seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed
unanimously. 1

9 Fire, Department Report - Fire Chief Dave Theisen gave the fire department report from 6-
1-99 to 11-30-99. The total in the past six months is $17,330 (emergency calls, drill hours,
Chief salary, Asst. ç:hief salary, Secretary salary, Treasurer's salary). , There were 66 City
Calls, 47 St. Josep~ Township calls, 17St. Wendel calls and 2 mutuaL aid calls for a total of
132 calls. Ofthose¡132 calls, 93were medical, 34 were fire, 2 mutual aid and 3 weather
warnings.Therew~re 245 total calls from 12-1-98 to 11-30-99. ,Theisen alsopassed'out a
report listing the inGidents individually and what was spent. He explained thaUhe number in
the second. to the I~st column is the number of fire fighters reporting and the money and time
spenton the incident. Ehlert asked for clarification on what is charged for by thefire
department. Theisen explained that the only charge is for a vehicle fire for someone that
does not live within ¡the fire district. Medical calls are never charged out. Theisen also
reported that they are considering charging for false alarms. Other communities charge for
thet,ime spent respþnding to these false alarms. Most ofthem let the home or business have
two warnings before a charge is assessed, Theisen also reported that Randy Torborg is the
New Assistant Chief., Losomade a motion to pay the fire department charges and to accept
· the fire department ¡report for the period of 6-1-99 to 11-30-99. Ehlert seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.

10. Treasurer's Report - Trunk Sewer Charge - Weyrens stated that as discussed at a .
previous Council meeting, it is time to reallocate the sewer hookup and trunk sewer fees. In
the past fees were used to finance the DBL Labs Sewer Improvement Project. The DBL
Sewer improvement fund is doing very well and the City will be calling the bonds in 2000. At
this time it does not makes sense to continue adding revenue to the fund. Weyrens stated
that it is her recommendation that the Council establish a new fund called Trunk Sewer. ' This·
fund would help finance projects such as the sewer improvements along County Road 121.
The County has scheduled this project for the year 2001, In anticipation of this project, the
City could provide a good financial base with this fund.
Weyrens provided the Council with a table that illustrates the funds that have been collected
this year. She also provided a projected fund balance at the time of paying the bonds. After
the bond is called, the City will still receive assessment income. This income should be
placed in the trunk Sewer Funds as that is the basis for the original assessment. Weyrens
reported that the City is seeing. 25 new homes/year. ,This year alone we had 53 sewer hook
ups.
Weyrens stated that the Council should review the information provided and staff would place
this item on the agenda again for the next meeting.
11. Mark Lambert- Final Plat and Development Issues -In a memo to the City Council, EDA
Director Chad Carlson explained that Mr. Lambert presented the final plat of the North Park
Third Addition to the Planning Commission on December 6th. The Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve the final plat as presented with two conditions:
that the property's zoning classification remain Agricultural and that the property's use be
limited to a parking lot for the Campus Villas. The Planning Commission also made a
motion to recommend that the Council waive Section 54.6,Platting procedures,'Subdivision .
4b of the Subdivision Ordinance which states a final plat must be presented for approval
within one year after the preliminary plat is approved, Mr, Lambert presented the preliminary
plat for approval in January of 1998, almost two years ago. The Council must waive this
section of the Ordinance in order to approve the final plat of the North Park Third Addition.
Mr. Lambert addressed the Council stating that the North Park Third Addition has been in the
works for some time. Although he originally had an R-3 request, this has since been dropped
and submitted as agricultural. It has become a parking lot of 50 spaces that is heavily used
throughout the year. Lambert stated that he was also in discussions with the Mayor about
the water tower easement and participated in discussions about joint use of the property. He
stated that he is anxious to discuss all possibilities with the Council. At this time, he is
requesting that the plat be approved in order to allow it to go on record.
Loso made a motion to approve the final plat, waiving the one year requirement as stated by
Section 54.6, Subd. 4 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Ehlert made a second to the motion.
Twit expressed concern that there is still no written agreement about the water tower
maintenance. Loso stated that in the letter from City Attorney John Scherer he explains that
the water tower maintenance agreement is a separate issue and should not be a condition for
approval of the plat. Twit disagreed, stating thatit would be in the City's best interest to
negotiate this ahead of time.
Lambert addressed Twit's concern. He stated that there is no maintenance agreement. The
easement of 120ft. that would have been required by the City was, in his mind, a taking of the
property and would require just compensation for the fair market value of the property. Twit
asked why Lambert needed to, file a plat for a pÇ!rking lot? Lambert stated that he has
declared the use as a parking lot. The agricultural zoning restricts the land to very few uses.
He has dropped the R-3 request, but is not willing to grantthe overly burdensome easement .
and give up his land rights. It is unfair, as stated by the City attorney, to make the easement
4
. .
a condition of plat approval.
. Niedenluer slated t1al the agriculluralzQningdQesseverelyllmillhe uses Qlthe property.
Twit statedthatthe City needs to be negotiating with Mr, Lambert as a group and not as
I
individuals. It seems clear that negotiations have been ,struck already. Hiemenz stated that
he, is not aware of a'nY negotiations that have taken place which the Council is not aware of or
has notbeen privy to, Loso stated that discussions have taken place and that the Council is
just upsefaboutthel behindthe scenes dealings.
I
Hiemenz stated that there have been no behind the scenes dealings and that the Council is
taking things out of þontext. He has been talking to Lambert about possibilities but no
negotiations or deals have been struck. There is no need to bring it to the Council table if
there are OnlYOptiorthat won't work.
Twit stated thatin aU fairness, it seems that Mr. Lambert was also. misled., Lambert stated that
he thinks the Mayo~ might also be placed in a negative light unfairly here. There were no
dealings, instead there were merely discussion aboutthe outlots. The Mayor merely said
"have you looked a~ these?" Lambert stated that he is frustrated because if he can't talk to
the Mayor or, the Administrator about these things, who can he talk to. As far as the Terry
Schmid outlots,.ev~ryone assumed that the lots have been given to the City already. There
was no grand sche~e to take them from the City. Lambert found out from Schmid that he
had never given them to the City.
I
Ehlert asked how this could have fallen through the cracks. Hiemenz stated that the Council
originallywanted Syhmid to pay the legal fees and then changed theirmind. His offer was
revoked when we made a counteroffer of taking the land if he paid the legal fees. There was
. no offer on the tabl~ any longer.

Lambertstatedtha(he likes being in the City of St. Joseph and is proud of everything he has
accomplished here; He understands that student housing isa sensitive issue right now.
However, he ,knows how to do student housing. It is still his intent to find a location that is
acceptable tothe C'ouncil. He would like the opportunity to talk about a variety of options with
the Council including the long range plan of the City, the maintenance shop etc. As the
Council knows, Lambert purchased the property behind the maintenanceshop. He would be
interested in putting a maintenance garage for the City on that piece and building a student
building where the rnaintenanceshop currently sits. He, is also trying to find another access
on to that property that would benefit both his property and the City's.
!
Ehlert stated that td really have a discussion we need to have the Public Works Director, Dick
Taufen present for the, meeting. Twit stated that another issue is not letting ourselves get into
an area where ther~ is only one entrance.
¡
Schmidt suggestedlthat the Council seta special meeting to talk about this, The Council
agreed to a meeting at4:00PMonThursday, January 13th with Mr. Lambert and the Public
Works Departmentj

with the way his tre:es were trimmed.

Hiemenz also reported that he had received complaints about the portable sign ordinance .
from Schroeder Sports, They stated that they would just pay the fine and leave the sign out.
The City received some calls as well. Hiemenz also reported that he attended the
Government Affairs Committee meeting with Steve Sviggum, as well as the HCP/EDA
meeting.
13. Council Reports - Twit asked what the objection on the signs ordinance is--not enough
advertising space? Hiemenz said yes. Twit stated he just wondered if it was the fee or the
ordinance that people would object to. Niedenfuer stated that just because Schroeder Sports
pays the fine, doesn't mean they can leave the sign out.
Ehlert reported that as a result of the last Core meeting, he believes that there is strong
support for the implementation of some sort of warning system. He would like permission
from the Council to work with Niedenfuer and Schmidt to come up with a policy to present to
the Council. Loso stated that he doesn't want to move backwards on these issues.
Ehlert said he would also like the City to write a thank you to the Lions and the Fire
Department for putting up and purchasing the lovely new Christmas decorations. Ehlert also
said that he looked into the renaming of 16th avenue and agrees with the engineer's
assessment and recommendation to get it on the grid system.
Loso asked about the new LELS contract. Schmidt stated that she is waiting to hear from the
union.
Niedenfuer stated that the Healthy Communities Partnership had their next to the last training
session in December. She would also like to request that an area in the new City Hall be set
aside as a resource area for the public. They are generating a lot of materials and it would ..
be nice to have them all cataloged and in one place, Niedenfuer also expressed concern
about the old Foquette property. There are still junk cars on the side of the building and
nothing has been done. Schmidt stated that she would speak with the Building Inspector
about the problem again.
Twit asked Schmidt if she wanted a response to her memo on Y2k coverage. Schmidt said that it
was just an FYI but they could discuss it if they wanted to talk about it. For coverage on
December 31, 1999, the Administrator, as well as Public Works Superintendent Dick Taufen and
Waste Water Superintendent Jim Marthaler will work from 11 :00 P.M. on December 31, 1999 to
2:00 AM on January 1, 2000. Mike Sworski and Raymond Bechtold will be on call during that
period.
The general rule for on call. time is that if the time is spent predominantly for the employer's
benefit, that is if the employee cannot effectively use the time for his or her own purposes, the
employer must count the time as "hours worked," New Years Eve is generally a holiday where
individuals would tend to do a greafdeal of celebrating. By requiring Mike and Ray to be on call
during that period (and requiring them to remain in a state of mind where they could respond to
an emergency) we aren't allowing the employee to use the time for their own purposes.
As such, there will be three hours of overtime for each non-exempt employee working or on call
on New Years Eve. Twit stated that if the employees are going to be paid anyway, we should
require them to work. Schmidt stated that as long as they are within reach, they should be
allowed to be home with their families. This .is a big holiday and they would most likely prefer not
to even be on the call. The law requires the City to pay them because we are restricting their
actions. Ehlert asked Schmidt what she is comfortable With. Schmidt stated that she is
comfortable with exactly what was in the memo. Loso made a motion to approve the Y2K on call
coverage, seconded by Niedenfuer. The motion passed 4:1. .
Yes: Hiemenz, Loso, Niedenfuer, Ehlert

Re: Trunk Sewer Charge/Sewer Hookup Fee
!
i
,
As dis;ed at a previous counci,l m",¡ eeting, it is time to, re*allocate the sewer hookup and trunk, sewer fees. In, the past, the fees were
used to ance the DBL Labs Sewer Improvement Project. The DBL Sewer Improvement Fund is doing very well and the City
will be calling the bonds in 2000. At this time it does not make sense to continue adding revenue to the fund. It is my
reCO]endatiOn the City Council establish a new fund called Tnmk Sewer.
The TrynkSewerfund would help finance projects such as the sewer improvements along County Road 121. The County has
scheduled this project for the year 200 1. In anticipation of this project, the City could provide a good financial base by establishing a
trunk 1werfund. i
. The ta Ie below i1,lustra,tes the funds,l that have been, collected this year. Further, I hav, e provided a projected fund ba,lance at the time
of pa!1 g the bonds. After the bþnd is called the City will still receive assessment income. This income should be placed in the
Trunk ¡Sewer Funds as, that is the I basis for the original assessment. For your reference I have also included one page of the debt
management study provided by Monte Eastvold this summer.

Lam explained the history ~f the plat and the Planning Commission and City Council desires in 1998. The
Plann' g Commission and CitY Council both approved the preliminary plat with the conditions stated in Mr. John

OPPO~ine'Jot ilie City, sucl\ ßS a trail ce<1ter for ilie Lake WabeSon Troil. Negotiations will ..,nlmue wiili ilie
Mayo ,and City Council thisnionth. The recording ofthe final plat is crucial to obtain ownership of the property
trom . e Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. Lambert stated the property is zoned agriculture and will be used
as a parking lot. j
Utsch questioned the status of the water tower easement for the, maintenance of the tower. Lambert stated that Mr.
Bett dorf suggested that the City obtain a 12.0" circular easement around the tower for maintenance. The proposed
eas ent would take a majorityofthe property in question and the City would be initiating a taking, with
comp sation. Negotiations are still occurring and an easement has not been secured.

Lam J ert clarified that across ¡easement agreement for the light poles and siren has been executed.
Lesntk questioned if there w,i1l be access to the parking lot trom County Road #2. Lambert responded by stating
there will be no access off of County Road, #2. The original development plan for the site did include access to
cOlty Road #2, which has ~"'" dropped.

Planning Commission's limi~ations on accepting a final plat of a development. .
La bert restated the lot will!continueto be used as a parking lot. Delaying the approval of the final plat will delay
the cquisition of the property untilOctober20.o0 and does not serve anyone any good. Thefact that the final plat
was not presented earlier is ~ result of the negotiations with the Mayor of St., Joseph. , Lambert further stated that he

GraevJ clarified the need torerrd thefinalplat is strictly to execute the purchase agreement with the railroad
SChne+der expressed his ,concehI with the delay in presenting the final plat to the Planning Commission. If the
. negoti, tions with the Mayor did delay the process, the City Council should consider a committee when negotiatîng
projects with landowners in .th~ future. ,A set of guidelines could be .usedand.decisions made in ,a timely fashion.

didn't! ave complete authori~ to handle the negotiations.

I
I
!
The S1. CloudMTC Transportation Development Plan includes an extensive community
parti¡cipation program de~igned to, elicit input from members of the general publiè, current users of
the rt system, commlmity leaders, key policy decision makers, St. Cloud MTC drivers and
othe transportation "stakeholders" in the S1. Cloud area. The community participation program
incl ded five separate components, which are listed below:
¡
I
I
· Walk-In ~eetings
í
· Stakeholder Interviews
¡
I
I
· Telephone Survey
I
I
· Bus Ride~ Survey
· St. Cloudl MTC Driver Meetings
I
. I
All ve components wer~ applicable for the areas where Metro Bus service now exists (i.e., S1.
CIO~d, Sauk Rapids and ¡Waite Park). The first three elements of the programwere conducted for
bot Sartell and,St. Joseph. Since this study has two major purposes -.., 1) developing
imp ovements to existing bus services and 2) detennining the feasibility of expanding services to
St. oseph and Sartell, tqe findings from the community participation program for each
geo raphic area are pres/ented in separate chapters.
I
This chapter pre~ents the findings from the three community,participation elements for
St. oseph. Summary tables are included in this section of the report and appendices more fully

Wa k-In Meetings ,
I
A "Walk-In Meeting" was held on Wednesday, September 29, 1999 in the Council
I
Ch mbers at St. Joseph City Hall. The meeting was attended by 28 people of which about one-
thirf were associated wi~h the College of St. Benedict. It should also be noted that one of the
per.ons that attendedw~sSteve Dehler, a Representative of the Minnesota House of
Re~resentatives. There ¡Was one person unable to make the meeting that wrote a letter with
conrments. A "Walk-In¡Meet!ng" is a meeting where the public talks directly to the consultant
. J on a one-on-one biiS and offers suggestions for improvements or comments on the system.

A surveyfonn was prepared (see Figure 1) and was available at the meeting for those who .
only wished to provide written comments. This fonn was made available before the walk-in
meeting to those contacted in the Stakeholder meetings. As a result of the distribution of the
fonn, 16 completed fonns fÌ'om a group called Senior Citizens of St. Joseph were mailed in.
Therefore, in total including the attendees at the meeting, the letter and the completed fonns fÌ'om
the senior citizens group, a total of45 different people offered comments. This is a significant
level of public participation input.
Responses fÌ'om the St. Joseph public involvement program are grouped into two sections:
1) those that attended the meeting and the person that wrote a letter; and 2) responses fÌ'om the
senior citizens group.
The results in each of the two groups are summarized below.
Availability of Bus Service - In tenns of whether bus service should be made available in
St. Joseph, as seen below, all the people thought it was a good idea. Of course, these results
present the views of only a small segment of the residents of St. Joseph. However, this segment
was united and outspoken in their opinion toward needing bus service. In fact, at the walk-in
meeting some people were very passionate with comments regarding the need for bus service.

Summary - The key finding regarding expansion of bus service to St. Joseph trom the .
walk-in meeting is that it is desired and needed, especially for certain segments of the population.
Two groups were especially united and vocal regarding the need for bus service -- senior citizens
and representatives of College ofSt. Benedict. Most of those that responded would use the
service with shopping, medical and other varied trip purposes. Those responding indicated a
desire to travel outside St. Joseph to other destinations such as the Crossroads Center. Those
that responded would be satisfied with service only a few days per week. Since only one person
indicated the need for bus service for work trips, there was only a limited (13%) request for bus
service ~veryday.
Stakeholder Interviews
A number of "one-on-one" interviews were conducted with varioùs community leaders,
policy makers and decision makers throughout the City of St. Josephwho have a "stake" in both
the future ofSt. Joseph as well as in the mobility of its residents. The eight "stakeholders" who
were interviewed to date as part ofthe.public participation. program are listed in Table 1.
The major findings trom the interview process are grouped into two separate sections to
present the views ofthe two different groups that were interviewed -- St. Joseph officials!
businesses and representatives of the CollegeofSt. Benedict and St.John's University. .
St. Joseph OfficialslBusinesses - Those interviewed in this category stated that there are
two major groups in St. Joseph that warrant strong consideration for public transit services --
senior citizens and college students. It was noted that there are no drug stores in St. Joseph and
therefore residents must travel to Waite Park or St, Cloud to get their prescriptions filled. Other
major points made during the interviews were:
· To properly serve the residents, bus service would have to circulate throughout St.
Joseph.
· A route trom St. Jos.eph to serve downtown St. Cloud would not be necessary.
Rather, a connection to the St. CloudMTC bus service in Waite Park at
Crossroads Center is all that would,be necessary.
· Extensive and costly service should not be provided. In this regard, service only a
few days a week was identified as an attractive alternative. This is consistent,with
the input received trom the walk-in meetings and senior citizen input. where service
one, ,two or three days a week was all that was desired.

It was pointed out that some members of the business community indicated in the .
·
past that they were against bus service since it would take people away trom doing
business in St. Joseph.
· Those interviewed were unsure if any other groups, besides senior citizens and
students, would use the bus service if it were made available.
.
· Desire of some of those interviewed that the College of St. Benedict should be
asked to contribute toward the local share of the bus service since it was felt that
their students would benefit greatly trom the service.
Representatives of the College of St. Benedict and St. John's ,University - The two
people interviewed trom the schools had a number of important points regarding bus service to
serve their students, including:
· . The two schools have been growing and'now have an. enrollment of about 3,700
students. The home location for the students include about 75 percent trom
Minnesota, 20 percent out-of state and five percent international.
· There was strong opinions , that students would use the'service if it were made .
available. A key group would be international students that don't have cars. It
was noted that about 55 percent of the students have a car on campus.
· Students would use the service for a number of purposes including work, shopping
and entertainment. 'Another purpose would be volunteer work where students gain
experience in local companies or for social service agencies. It was noted that
some volunteer work cannot be done due to lack of transportation services~
· Serviêe is needed trom St. Joseph to at least the Crossroads Center, although
service to other destinations would be welcomed (e.g., downtown St. Cloud, Cash
Wise and Hospital complex area).
· Service would be needed mostly on Fridays, .Saturdays and Sundays which are
days the students have more tree time, However, for students that work, service
everyday would be needed.
· Service would not have to start before 10:00 AM. Service would be needed up to
midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

· Summary - Both groups that were interviewed were generally very positive with regard
to t e need for bus service in St. Joseph, especially for college students and senior citizens. A I
limited service only a fer days a week would be sufficient. At a minimum, service would have to
circflate in St. Joseph and connect to the rest of the MTC system at the Crossroads Center. The
two key factors toward implementation include an inexpensive service plan and funding support

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CARl SCHMIDT - CLERKI ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECf: MEMO FOR MEETING OF 1/20/00
DATE: 1/13/00
Council Meeting
This meeting is relatively light so far, but we certainly have things we can discuss.
City Engineer's Report- Joe will present a number of items for the Council review. He prepared three
documents related to Capital Improvement Planning: an update of the February 1995 Capital Improvement
plan showing progress to date, an update of the October 1997 Street Maintenance and reconstruction
document, and a list of proposed capital improvement items assembled at our meeting on December 12,
1999. He also has a payment request from Design Electric. In addition, Joe will be recommending that the
City Council authorize a feasibility study for Highway 121. We will be meeting with the Township in the
next few weeks to discuss 121 and the possibilities for annexation. This feasibility study could be complex
and it would be prudent to get started on it as soon as possible.
· Super America ExpansionN ariances- The Planning Commission recommended approval of the variances
requested by Triple K Partnership. They recommended a five foot side yard variance and ala foot rear
yard variance. The Planning Commission also made a motion to have Triple k partnership place additional
landscaping around the container structure for aesthetic purposes. Super America is seeking to place a
retaining wall around the dumpster. It has come to our attention that this wall will be over the force main
for the City. Staff would advise the Council to ask for a hold hannless agreement from Triple K that would
release the City from liability for destroying the retaining wall if the force main ever needed to be accessed.
Joe will also be present to discuss this item and answer questions you may have.
Personnel Manual-I have included the Personnel Manual on the agenda. Please refer to the last draft that
was given to the Council in November. If you cannot find yours, please let me know and I will reprint it
for you. Now that the maintenance of status quo order has been lifted, the Council can go ahead and
approve the personnel manual. The employee union negotiations will be separate from this discussion.
They have had an initial meeting with the union representative and I was informed that he will be
contacting me. I haven't heard from him as of today.
The Mayor received a letter from Bruce Opp, the agent for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation
regarding the proposed sale of surplus right of way. They are looking for an answer about what portion of
the right of way we would be interested in purchasing.
Depending on time, the Council may also want to take advantage of this light agenda and discuss the
recommendation of the Planning Commission that a rental moratorium be put in place.
Old Business
At the last Council meeting, there was an inquiry made into the status of a community fund that was in
place to pay for damages to residents property. This fund has been depleted. An inquiry was also made
· into the generation of a community fund from the revenues generated from the noise violations that have
occurred. The funds generated have been minimal as many of the fmes assessed were stayed pending
eviction of the tenants. If the Council as a whole would like to set something up for the future, please let
me know. .
Miscellaneous
Just a reminder that we have a joint dinner meeting with the Colleges on February 2nd at 5:00. The next
building committee meeting has been set for Wednesday February 9th at 3:00. I will let you know when a
location has been established.
Remember that Monday the 17th is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and a City Holiday.
Please give me a call if anything comes up. Have a good weekend.

Re: Krebsbach proposed Variance requests
MAYOR The Krebsbach's are proposing to construct a rubbish confinement structure in the southeast comer of the
Kenneth 1. Hiemenz St. Joseph Super America lot. In order to _place the structure in proposed location, the Krebsbach's are
requesting a Variance to the Side and Rear Yard setbacks ofthe B2- Highway 75 Business District.
CLERK! The Side Yard Variance request is 5 feet. The Ordinance requires a 20 foot setback from the County right-
AnMINIS1R\TOR of-way line and proposed project will be 15 feet from the right-of-way line. The Rear Yard Variance
Cari Schmidt request is 10 feet. The Ordinance requires a 10 foot setback from the rear lot line and the proposed project
will create a 0 foot setback from the rear lot line.
COUNCILORS The Planning Commission took the following considerations into account when recommending approval
Bob Loso for the Variance requests:
.Ehlert I) The rubbish confinement structure had to match the color and materials of the store;
wll
Mary Niedenfuer 2) Extensive landscaping needed to be completed around the confinement structure to limit the
visibility from Highway 75; and
3) The side walls of the confinement structure needed to be high enough as not to see the
dumpsters from the elevation of Highway 75.
4) The Planning Commission also determined that a rear yard of 0 and 15 foot side yard setback
would not be adverse to the community. The confinement structure is located at the end of
Cedar Street.
I have enclosed a map of the proposed expansion area and the area proposed for the placement of the
rubbish confmement structure. As you can see, the structure does eliminate two parking spaces. However,
relocating the vacuums and creating spaces at the southwest corner of the lot, the St. Joseph Super America
meets and exceeds their quota for parking stalls as required by Ordinance.
Finally, Mr. Mike Deutz questioned the use of County property by the Krebsbach for the parking and
confinement structure. Krebsbach stated that an arrangement was made with Stearns County and Doug
Weiszhaar when the construction of the signal lights were completed in 1989. The Krebsbach's donated
property to the County on the College A venue side. In turn, the County agreed to let Super America use
the property formerly known as Cedar Street and County right-of-way as parking area. Louis Krebsbach
will address this issue at the meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact me prior to the City Council meeting.

Kenneth J. Hieffienz From: Chad A. Carlson
Date: January 14, 2000
:':u;RKI Re: Krebsbach Proposed Boulevard Cut
ADMINISTRAH)R
Cari Schmidt
The Krebsbach's are proposing to cut a portion ofthe boulevard on the north side of the Super America lot,
in conjunction with their expansion project. The enclosed map details the boulevard area that needs to be
COUNCILORS cut in order to accommodate delivery trucks and traffic flow on the property. The proposal is to cut out
Bob Loso approximately 5'6" of the boulevard.
Wh1ert The Krebsbach's have contacted Gopher One to locate the utility lines in this area. One utility line was
NIt
Mary Niedenfuer found and indicated on the map. The utility line appears to be outside of the proposed cut area. The
Planning Commission did approve the site plan as presented contingent upon the City Council approving
the boulevard cut. The Planning Commission did determine that traffic flow would improve for delivery
service for the facility once the boulevard was cut.
Finally, the Krebsbach's wanting an opinion from the Public Works Department regarding the impact to
utilities and snow removal, contacted Mr. Taufen. Please contact Mr. Taufen to get his perspective on the
request.
If you have any questions, please contact me prior to the City Council meeting.

City of St. Joseph
· City Council Meeting
01/06/00, 7:00 PM
1. Call to Order. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St.
Joseph met on Thursday, January 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the St. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Mayor Kenneth J. Hiemenz, Bob Loso, Cory Ehlert, Ken Twit and Mary
Niedenfuer, and Clerk-Administrator Cari Schmidt and Deputy Clerk Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Steve Streng, Dick Taufen, City Attorney John Scherer, Don Schwab, Bill
Lorette and Sergeant Jeff Young.
2. Approve Agenda: Schmidt stated that there were two additions to the agenda: a resolution
supporting the Wobegon Trail and a gambling permit from the American Legion. Loso made a
motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Twit. The motion passed unanimously.
3. 7:00 - Noise Violation - 116 10th Ave SE - Hiemenz stated a noise violation occurred at
116 10th Ave SE on December 15, 1999. The parties were entitled to an evidentiary hearing
before the City Council, but did not request one. A waiver of this right to a hearing is
equivalent to an admission of the basic allegation and the Council will proceed immediately to
consider a disposition, which may include revocation or suspension of the rental license
and/or a monetary fine. Hiemenz reiterated the facts as stated in the police report. Hiemenz
asked if there was a representative of the property or the management company present that
would like to address the Council.
Bill Lorette, of Select Properties, stated that he would like to see the Council tackle this issue
· with some leniency. This property hasn't had any problems for years. The owner and
management company are taking steps against Ms. Beckers and is terminating her
employment as building manager, as well as her lease.
Loso made a motion that the noise violation did occur and to assess the property with the
administrative costs of the hearing. Niedenfuer seconded the motion.
Twit stated that the report indicated there wasn't a lot of cooperation from the tenant.
Sergeant Young agreed stating that the tenant wasn't going to let the officers in until he
mentioned that he thought there might be drugs in the apartment. She told them that there
were fellow officers from another department in the apartment. Twit stated that in the past
few noise violations, the City has levied a fine against the landlords and asked why this
situation should be any different.
Loso stated that in this situation there wasn't any landlord neglect. Twit stated that landlord
neglect has never played into their decision before and shouldn't start now. Ehlert stated that
he didn't think that any landlord can be held responsible for the noise violations of the
residents as they can't be there 24 hours, and hopes that the landlords are passing these
fines on to their tenants through their leases. Ehlert stated that he agrees with Twit in that we
shouldn't make our decision on the basis of the landlord's neglect. Hiemenz stated that we
need to evaluate this situation as we have others before, and look at the serious nature of the
complaint. The officers were actually called to this premises later in the night again. Young
indicated that yes, they were called to the scene again but that it was quiet when they arrived.
Twit made a motion to amend the motion and add a $300 fine to the administrative fees. This
was seconded by Ehlert.
·
1
Loso asked if this individual was also given a citation and Young indicated that she was.
Ehlert asked the landlord if he had the ability to take these fines from the damage deposit or
collect them in some way. Lorette indicated that they were going to try to get the fine back .
from the individual and would be interested in putting such language in their leases in the
future.
Hiemenz called the question on the motion that there was a noise violation and to assess a
$300 fine plus administrative fees. The motion passed 4:1 (Loso: No, Hiemenz, Niedenfuer,
Twit and Ehlert: Yes)
4. Consent Agenda -
a. Mayoral Appointments to the Boards and Commissions
b. MN Deer Hunters Association - Charitable Gambling Application
c. American Legion - Charitable Gambling Application
d. Resolution in Support of the extension of the Lake Wobegon Regional Pedestrian/Bicycle
Trail
Loso made a motion to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Twit. The motion to
approve the Consent Agenda passed unanimously.
Hiemenz stated that there is an opening for anyone interested in being on the Cable
Commission. It was mentioned that Duke Hewitt, a St. Joseph resident might be interested.
Hiemenz stated that he would contact Mr. Hewitt.
Twit stated that he noticed that there was no longer a personnel committee. Hiemenz stated
that there is no need now that the employees have unionized and will have a union
representative to deal with. Ehlert stated that the personnel committee has been in existence
for more than just negotiations though. He stressed that he doesn't want to send a message .
that the employees can't talk to the Council about problems.
Niedenfuer stated that now that the City has a new administrator that there are lines of
communication that should be followed. The Council wanted this to be a more expanded
position in terms of personnel and Cari has voiced an interest in improving the office
communications.
Ehlert stated that Cari isn't a cure-all for the City and that the employees might have a
problem with that position that needs to be addressed. Loso stated that if that's the case,
they now have to go to their union representative or union steward with the issue. Those are
the rules.
Twit asked where the Personnel manual was now. Schmidt stated that the Council was
prohibited from discussing the manual while the Ljnion was being certified, due to the
maintenance of status quo order. Now that the union has been formed, the Council can put it
back on the agenda for discussion. Twit stated that this should be placed on a future agenda
for discussion.
The Mayor was asked what the timeline for the Wobegon trail is going to be. Hiemenz
indicated that the grant would be awarded sometime in the fall.
5. Approve Minutes -Council meeting 12/16/99 - Twit stated that Kyle Schneider was at the
last Council meeting and should be added to the attendance list for the meeting. Ehlert made
a motion to approve the minutes with the addition of Kyle Schneider, seconded by Loso. The
motion passed unanimously.
.

6. Bills Payable and Overtime/Callouts - Weyrens reported on a number of the expenditures:
. 27794 is the last cost of issuing the bond, 27793 is the cost for repairing the ballast, 27812 is
the insurance premium, and a variety of costs for vehicle tabs, etc. Weyrens stated that City
had the Dade street sewer televised for blockages and problems spots. There is a portion on
East Dade that needs to be cleaned out. Staff is seeking authorization from the Council to
have the work performed. (Likely it will run over $1,300) Roots are coming through the joints
in the older clay tile. Taufen stated that there is a piece of special equipment that they use to
clear out the roots. Hiemenz stated that they should also look at re lining the pipes. Taufen
indicated that they would televise it again once they are through to make sure that the line is
clear. Ehlert asked Taufen if the jet machine that the City had considered purchasing would
take care of this. Taufen said that hopefully it would.
Loso made a motion to approve the bills payable (27781-27855) with the addition of the
sewer clean out. Twit seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Twit made a motion to approve the cal/outs, seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed
unanimously.
Weyrens distributed a cost analysis of what the City is not expending while a Chief of Police
is being hired. She explained that the analysis assumes that the City would not be hiring
anyone until April 1.
7. Public Comments on the Agenda - There were no public comments on the agenda.
8. Treasurer's Report - Weyrens passed out a sheet detailing the sewer fund increase
options. She explained that the Council has already discussed this but they agreed to
approve it each year. The proposed sewer rate increase will go from 1 .25 in 1999 to 1.30 in
2000. The projected revenue for this increase is $272,899. Weyrens explained that the city
. gained approximately $10,000 in revenue just this year.
Twit asked what this would mean to individuals in the community. Weyrens and Taufen
explained that this increase would mean about a .50 cent per month increase, which isn't a
substantial amount. The City is making the increases in small steps to make it more
affordable for the residents. Loso made a motion to accept the sewer rate increase from 1.25
to 1.30 for the year 2000, seconded by Twit. The motion passed unanimously.
Weyrens stated that at a previous Council meeting, she passed out a report regarding a
proposed new fund called trunk sewer. She explained that the DBL Sewer Improvement ~"
Fund is doing very well and that the City will be calling the bonds in the year 2000. At this
time, it doesn't make sense to continue adding revenue to the fund. Weyrens recommended
that the Council establish a new fund called Trunk Sewer. This fund would help finance
projects such as the sewer improvements along County Road 121. The County has
scheduled this project for the year 2001. In anticipation of this project, the City could provide
a good financial base by establishing a trunk sewer fund.
Loso made a motion to authorize the transfer of funds from the OBL Sewer Improvement
Fund into a new fund cal/ed utility extension.. The motion was seconded by Niedenfuer and
passed unanimously.
9. Request to waive the $25 portable sign fee - Don Schwab addressed the Council stating
that he is the chairman of the Parish breakfast. They put up a portable sign for a total of 36
days during the year. Schwab stated that they figured the City was large and wealthy enough
to donate or waive the $25 for the Parish. Ehlert made a motion to waive the $25 fee for the
St. Joseph Parish, seconded by Loso. Schmidt stated that before the Council votes on the
. motion, they should realize that if they set this precedent that every non profit in the
community will appear before them to ask for a waiver as well. Ehlert stated that the Council
3
"¡,."
may want to look at lower fee instead. Niedenfuer made a motion to assess a $15 fee for the
Parish, seconded by Twit. The motion failed 3:2. (Twit, Niedenfuer: yes, Hiemenz, Loso, .
Ehlert: no)
Ehlert made a motion to waive the entire fee for the Sf. Joseph Parish, seconded by Loso.
The motion failed 3:2. (Yes: Loso, Ehlert, No: Hiemenz, Niedenfuer, Twit)
Ehlert asked Niedenfuer if her intention was to make the $15 fee apply to all non-profits and
she said no. Ehlert then asked the rest of the Council if it was their intention to lower the fee
to some amount. They indicated that it was. Ehlert suggested that they refer this matter
back to the Planning commission for more consideration. Loso made a motion to delay
charging the Parish a fee until a decision has been made and to table the discussion until an
across the board non-profit fee can be discussed. Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously. Ehlert told Mr. Schwab that regardless of what the amount is, it wouldn't be
more than $25.
10. Safe Assure Contract - Schmidt stated that she received a few evaluation forms from the
Employees regarding Safe Assure. The reviews were all positive. The Contract would be to
maintain the current program for twelve months for the sum of $2,925. This amount is lower
than what was paid last year. Schmidt stated that they are also contracting with Sartell, Sauk
Rapids and Waite Park which will make the training schedule more workable. Loso made a
motion to approve the Safe Assure Contract for 2000, seconded by Ehlert. The motion
passed unanimously.
11. Law Enforcement Labor Services Contract 2000 - Hiemenz stated that he and Ken Twit
negotiated the contract with LELS and have tentatively agreed on the enclosed contract with
the union. There were only a few changes. The wage increase is for 3.2% for 2000 and for
2001. Twit stated that he has an issue with Article 7.2. This provision requires a super-
majority for the Council to change the normal work day to eight hours. It states "The .
Employer may change the normal work day to eight (8) hour days by a 4/5th vote of the City
Council after consulting with and receiving a recommendation from the Chief of Police." Twit
stated that a super majority is usually just reserved for land use decisions. This provision
means that for a change to occur, that five must be present and four must vote for it.
Twit stated that section 7.4 and 7.5 are also changes. 7.4 states that "work schedules shall
be posted one week in advance, subject to change due to emergency circumstances." 7.5
states that ""Emergency" circumstances relate to solely health and safety issues." These
changes are in response to the former practice of changing schedules with less than a
week's notice. The definition of emergency was added so that this would be the only reason
for a shift change in that short time period.
Twit stated that provision 8.4 does not refiect what was contemplated in the negotiations
process. This provision states that "Employees called in for court appearances during an off
duty day or vacation day shall receive a minimum of two hours pay. If more than two hours,
the Employee shall be paid for at one and one half times the Employee's regular straight time
hourly rate of pay." Twit stated that this isn't what was contemplated in the negotiations. The
employees are asking for the best of both worlds. If they only work fifteen minutes they get
two hours and the way the provision reads now, they would also get time and a half for the
entire period if it goes over two hours. Twit stated that the words "beyond the two hour
period" should be added to the end of the provision. Only that time past two hours should be
paid at time and a half. Ehlert asked Weyrens how often this occurs and she indicated that it
hardly ever happens.
Twit stated that Article 10 should also be clarified. The second part of the sentence should be
left off ("following the first year of service"). The word "after" should also be struck in the rest .
of the sections to make the policy more clear.
4
, .
· Twit also stated that 10.5 is strange. The dates should be the same. The provision reads
'Vacation preferences shall be designated by March 30, and seniority shall govern in the
case of conflict. Officers shall schedule at least eighty (80%) percent of their vacation time by
May 1 of each year." Hiemenz stated that the idea behind this provision was that they would
get their vacation requests in by March 30th. Any requests not scheduled by March will not
receive priority because of seniority within the department. Ehlert stated that if it works for
the department, why change it.
Twit stated that article 12 Insurance stayed at the same rate.
Twit stated that article 11.3 was added. Sick leave is now only paid out after three years of
service and termination or retirement in good standing. The officers were in favor of this as
they are also interested in retaining officers for longer periods of time.
Twit pointed out that in Article 13.1 the term "previous experience" was never defined. He
explained that this was brought up at the end of the negotiations but everyone felt like that
was an issue that could be added in the next contract negotiations. Young stated that this
provision is a problem because it is so ambiguous. Twit stated that he isn't opposed to
changing it now and asked what the provision should state. Young indicated that the
provision should be clarified by adding the words "with one year of full time previous
experience in the state of Minnesota". The Council agreed.
Twit stated that the uniform allowance in 15.3 was increased by $15.00 for each year. They
were looking to have an annual inventory taken of all of the officers uniforms but were
informed that they couldn't lawfully require this. This is an issue as it became known that an
officer was purchasing clothing with his clothing allowance and then turning around and
· selling the items for a profit. The Council never meant this allowance to be a revenue
generator for the employees. Young indicated that although they can't require an inventory,
the department is requiring the officers to use purchase orders and buy from certain vendors.
Ehlert asked why the PERA contribution is higher for the police officers. Weyrens explained
that the Police don't pay social security so they pay more in PERA.
Twit asked the Council how they felt about the supermajority issue in 7.2. Hiemenz stated
that this was in place so the Council couldn't come in and change it on a whim.
Twit made a motion to approve the 2000 LELS contract with the following additions: The
words "one year of full time previous experience in the state of Minnesota" would be added to
13.1; the second part of the sentence "following the first year of service" would be struck from
10.1 a, as well as the word "after" in Article 10 bot,· and the phrase "beyond the two hour
period" would be added to the end of the sentence in Article 8.4. Loso seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously.
12. Mayors Report - Hiemenz reported that he attended the St. Cloud Area District Planning
Board meeting. They are creating an affordable housing task force that would bring together
builders, developers, employers, HRA's, and planners in the community. They will be asking
for a representative from St. Joseph, whether that be the EDA Director or Administrator.
13. Council Reports - Niedenfuer reported that she received a request for a donation to help
pay instructors for a women's self defense class in the community. A grant that the City
received in the past helped fund this project. They are looking for a $500 donation that would
be split amongst the two instructors. Niedenfuer stated that there was a community fund that
used to pay for damage to resident homes from students. If there are funds left, perhaps this
· could come out of that fund. Schmidt stated that she didn't know the status of this fund but
that she would check with Weyrens. Loso suggested that this may be a better request for the
5
Lions Club or the Jaycees. Twit suggested that an alternate funding source should be found.
He stated he would have a problem funding this as it only benefits a portion of the .
community. Ehlert asked if the College would be willing to open up their training to the
community. Niedenfuer stated that this actually benefits all of the women in St. Joseph, but
that she would approach some other sources for funds.
Niedenfuer also reported that the sixth and final Healthy Communities Partnership training is
February 29th in Wadena.
Loso had not report.
Ehlert stated that he wouldn't be here for the second meeting in January. Ehlert asked what
is happening to the dollars that are being raised from the collection of the noise violations.
He suggested that a good will fund be created to benefit the community that could be used
for proactive measures. Schmidt stated she wasn't sure how much, if any, revenue has been
generated but that she would look into this.
Twit reported that he was asked to appear before the planning commission last night
regarding his proposal to place a moratorium on rental housing. The planning commission is
in favor of this and made a motion to recommend such a measure to the City Council. They
will be coming forward with a formal recommendation.
14. Clerk/Administrator Report - Schmidt reported that the Fire Department has a number of
old Christmas decorations that they would like to donate to another community. Before this
can happen, the City must declare them surplus items. The decorations are pole mounted as
well as a few that string across the street. Loso made a motion to declare the Christmas
decorations as surplus. The motion was seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed
unanimously.
Schmidt stated that Vern Voss, 1106 Able St. E, has asked the City to maintain the sidewalk .
on the West side of 1ih Ave SE (snow removal) Minnesota Street East to Klinefelter Park.
Mr. Voss indicated that there are a number of joggers and walkers that use the sidewalk. It
isn't getting shoveled and is a safety issue. Loso asked Taufen how he felt about this
request. Taufen stated that it is up to the Council but that soon enough we will be shoveling
all of the sidewalks in the City. Hiemenz suggested that this might be a good issue to refer to
the Park Board as it might become part of their trail system. Twit asked if City Attorney
Scherer if we are assuming any more liability by sweeping the sidewalk and Scherer said no.
Ehlert stated that at some point we will be looking for another entrance on 1 ih into the park.
Twit said we may be doing this prematurely then. Ehlert stated that this may encourage
usage of the park though. Ehlert made a motion to have the City remove snow on the West
side of 1Zh Ave SE. Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Schmidt reported that she and Taufen met with Jim Fredericks, the new Chief Physical
Plant/Facilities Management Officer for the College of St. Benedicts to start talking about 121.
The County has 121 on their schedule for work in 2001. The issue is how much the college
will be willing to contribute to pay for the improvements. The area is in need of sidewalks,
decorative lighting, curb and gutter and all the utilities. Mr. Fredericks asked what the City's
assessment policy would be in this situation. The College is negotiating with the monastery
to purchase 140 acres of monastery property. The assessment cost will influence the price
they are willing to pay and if they purchase the property at all.
Schmidt reported that other issue is whether or not the City will be able to receive Municipal
State Aid funding for the project. If we have a population over 5,000 we are eligible for this
aid. This raises the question of whether or not we should open up talks with the Township
about annexing that portion( along 121 to the township hall). It's in our long term annexation
plan already but isn't scheduled for another 6-10 years. Annexing this property would bring in .

.
the apartments and may bring us over the 5,000 hump. Residents in this area have already
· inquired with the City and EDA director about this. Staff is seeking authorization to set up a
meeting with full Council and Township board.
Taufen stated that the City will be looking to place a lift station somewhere in this Southern
region. It would be nice to know what is going to be planned for the area and how much
capacity will be needed. Hiemenz stated that at one time, the Chamber was interested in
helping to fund the decorative lighting and sidewalks on 121. They should be contacted
regarding this issue now. Hiemenz went on to say that once we determine the cost of the
project we will determine the cost split and if the project is too costly to even pursue.
Taufen stated that the College was very interested in knowing what the split would be. He
told them that he had seen the Council assess 10/90, 40/60, 60/40 and 90/10 so he wasn't
sure what the split would be. Hiemenz stated that once a meeting has been set up we should
also send letters out to the residents of the Township in that area to get their feedback.
The Council agreed that a meeting should be set up with the Township and that staff should
continue the discussions with the College of St. Benedict.
Schmidt reported that the Colleges would like to set up another dinner meeting with the
Council to discuss senior disorientation and community relations. The Council agreed to a
dinner meeting on Wednesday February 2nd at 5:00.
15. Miscellaneous and Announcement Items - Hiemenz stated that he received a call from
Steve Gaetz from St. Cloud inquiring about the City's intention regarding the sewer use
agreement. Hiemenz stated that this should also be discussed at the joint meeting with the
township.
· 16. Closed Session - Hiemenz closed the regular meeting and announced that the Council
would be entering a closed session for a discussion surrounding Officer Wendell Daluge.
At 10:15, the Council reconvened. City Attorney Scherer stated that the Council met in
closed session initially to conduct a performance evaluation of Officer Wendell Daluge. The
Council did not perform the evaluation however as Officer Daluge offered his resignation if
the Council would agree to a short list of items: 60 days veterans preference pay, a letter of
recommendation, his sick leave and holiday pay and other funds that he was entitled to. He
also requested that the City also agreed that the Officer's employment file would remain as it
was when he was hired. Scherer stated that he offered his opinion to the Council and that he
recommended that they accept the resignation upon a full and final release from liability for
the City.
Loso made a motion to accept Scherer's recommendation and accept the resignation of
Officer Wendell Daluge with the list of stipulations. Twit seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Hiemenz stated that staff has also requested that in light of the recent shortage, that the
Council make Officer Pete Jensen full time. Niedenfuer made a motion to change Officer
Pete Jensen from part time to full time. Loso seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously.
Hiemenz asked if there was anything else to report. Ehlert stated that he would just like to
announce that the City received $1,000 from NSP for allowing them to place the downguys in
Memorial Park. He thanked staff for their efforts. Twit asked if the Metrobus information that
was placed in the packet was for discussion purposes or for information only. Hiemenz
· stated that the information was for information purposes and that more would be coming.

17. Adjourn - Twit made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 10:35. Loso seconded the motion
and it passed unanimously. .

Date: January 14,2000
:::U:RK! Re: Rental Unit License Moratorium
o\,I>MINISTH.\TOR
:::ari Schmiùt
The Planning Commission, on January 5th, discussed their concerns regarding the increasing number of
older housing in the community being converted to student rental units. As suggested by Councilor Twit,
::OUNCILORS the City needs to assess the student rental facilities in the community and protect older housing stock in the
30b Loso community for first time home buyers and affordable housing.
Wlert The Planning Commission and Councilor Twit discussed the issue at length. It was detennined that areas
11
¡fary Niedenfuer of the Zoning Codes could be modified and additional regulations could be imposed to address the issue.
However, additional research needs to be completed by staff. Therefore, the Planning Commission made
an official motion to recommend that the City Council impose a moratorium on issuing any additional
rental licenses until a recommendation ITom the Planning Commission can be prepared.
Judy will be researching the procedures for completing a moratorium on this issue. In ~ddition. the League
of Minnesota Cities is sending me infonnation on the Coalition of College Cities. The CoalitiQfl of College
Cities meet regularly to discuss the same issues ITom housing to public relations. I bel¡eve tQis would be an
excellent opportunity for the City to access resources and solutions.
If you have any questions, please contact me prior to the City ComwH nW~'Ì\1g.

Re: St. Joseph, Minnesota - Proposed Sale of Surplus Railroad Right of Way
Mayor Hiemenc:
After discussions with Rich Batie ofthe Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway
Company and Cal Puttbrese of the Minnesota Department of Transportation, it is my
understanding the City ofSt. Joseph may have an interest in acquiring surplus railroad
right of way within its community. The railroad, as you know, is considering
abandonment of rail service within the townsite and transfer of portions of its land unto
. the state.
Enclosed is a railroad print showing outlined green the right of way which will become
available upon abandonment. The segment colored yellow is being considered for transfer
to the St. Joseph Milling Company. If you will please indicate on the print the right of
way which may be of interest to the city, I will discuss with the state and railroad to
determine if it can be considered available for transfer. If so, I shall than advise of sale
terms.
Catellus Management Corporation is acting as agent for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Corporation.

1k To: The Property owners along Joseph Street and County Road 133 that received
City services in 1999
\YOR By now I am sure that you are aware that all of the underground utility work has been completed in your
nneth J, Hiemenz area (city water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer), In the future you may be hooking up to these services,
A six inch sanitary sewer line (plastic) and a 6" water line (ductile iron) have been stubbed out to your
property, These larger services were installed to prepare for the future needs of this industrial park area.
ÆRKI Although you may not currently require this degree of service, it may be needed in the future,
JMINlSTRATOR At this time, the City is specifically concerned with the six inch water service. Currently, there are no
Iri Schmidl ordinances or codes that would require you to install a six inch line. I would advise, however, that before
you install your water service, consider the possible future use/expansion of your business (which may
require a larger line for a sprinkler system, larger volume of water, wet industry etc,) We realize that the
OUNCILORS cost of installing a six inch service line will be more costly initially. However, if you eventually need a
}b Loso larger line, you may be required to sink funds into re-excavating that could have been prevented with
}ry Ehlert some planning ahead of time. In the interest of potential future expansion, we would encourage you to
~~it consider using a six inch line for your water service,
_ ~iedenfuer
If you have any questions regarding these or other issues, please do not hesitate to contact me at 363-
7201.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ST~H
