Mem ,ers of the Fire Boarg, I
¡
!
!
The q ality of fire protection is based largely on experienced and well trained fire fighters, with j
this in mind it brings us to lithe task of retention of the experienced fire fighters the department !
!
has o~ its roster today. Wi~h the always rising cost of training and gear, and lack of available i
ì
volun eers to join the fire service, The need for retention is priority one. As members of the
board bftrustees forthe relief association we feel the best way to retain these fire fighters is a
growi g. pension, which brings us to the following proposal.
Becau e of the success of the investments a contribution is not required for the years 1999 &
2000, lthough we feel as the board members of the relief association a minimum contribution of
$100.010 per fire fighter based on 30 fire fighters per year would help to maintain a positive
grOl of thedepamnents ~ion plan. Thus elInnnaµngthe larger conmbutions the board has
asked 'or in the past, we thank you for your support you have given us in the past and present.

3. Consent Agend¡1 - Application for Payment..... Design Electric - Loso made a motion to
approve the COO$ent agenda, seconded by Twit. The motion passed unanimously.
I
4, Approve Minute.s - Schmidt stated that she reviewed the tape of the meeting from January
6,2000, as directed by Council. Although the Council discussed the court time issue for
about 25 minutes, the phrase "beyond the two hour period" was not included in the final
motion. Loso made a motion to approve the minutes of January 6, 2000, seconded by Twit.
The motion passed unanimously.
Ehlert made a mo,tion to approve the minutes of January 21, 2000, seconded by Loso. The
. motion passed u~animous/y. Losoasked Schmidt if we had received any altered plans from
Super America regarding what was discussed at that meeting.. Schmidt stated that she had
been in contact with Mitch Anderson at the County and they are working on the Cedar turn
back process. This has to, be done first Schmidt indicated that she would bring any new
information she received to the Council's attention,
Bills Payable and Overtime/Callouts - Twit made a motion to approve the bills 27912
through 27942, seconded by Loso. The motion passed unanimously. Hiemenz asked what
#27936 was related tp and Weyrens reported that it was the water tower float down and
report. Loso asked for more details about the, MRWAconference that Jim Marthaler and
Mike Sworski werdattending. Taufen stated that in the past the employees have been asked
to attend and haven't expressed any desire to go. Both employees would like to attend this
year. The conference does count toward certification if either of them would want to pursue
that.
Weyrens stated that she would like to clarify that the time that is listed out on the overtime
and callout sheets may either be time that is taken as comp time or maybe paid out.
6 Public Comments ¡on the Agenda - Schmidt stated that she asked Dick Taufen to attend
the meeting regardiflg the sidewalk plowing issues. At the. last meeting, the Mayor informed
the Council that he received a request from a resident that the City plow the sidewalks on the
North side of Minne~ota street. Taufen stated that we currently do plow the South side, The
City is currently plowing approximately seven miles of sidewalk in town, Taufen stated they
are not opposed to plowing the other side of Minnesota Street. However, these requests will
continue to come in. This might be a good time for the Council to review the sidewalk snow
removal policy and make some changes. If the Council decides to have the City plow all of
. the sidewalks in tow~, this will increase this distance to approximately 12miles. This does
not include future developments either (Pondview 6 or Hwy 121). Schmidt stated that if the
1
.
-,
I
Council so desires, we could place the sidewalk snow removal policy on the agenda for an
upcoming meeting. Taufen stated that sidewalk repair should also be addressed. . There are -
a number of sidewalks in town that are falling apart that should also be discussed. At one
time, the Council determined areas that were of public safety concern. Perhaps this policy
should be reconsidered. Loso stated that he would like to see a committee put together to
review the issue. Schmidt stated that perhaps instead of a committee, that staff could review
the current policy and bring some suggestions to the Council.
Taufen stated that he would like to make the Council aware that one of the Maintenance
employees would be out for eight weeks having surgery. This shouldn't be a problem unless
we receive a large amount of snowfall, in which case we will be short staff to help with snow
removal. Schmidt stated that staff is seeking authorization to hire a part time employee to
help with snow removal. We have already contacted the City of Waite Park. They may have
an employee that would be willing to be on call part time. Schmidt stated that there is the
possibility that we may never have to use the additional help, but it would be better to have it
than to build up a large number of overtime hours with the current employees. Loso made a
motion to authorize the hiring of part time public works employees to assist in snow removal.
Twit seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Steve Frank addressed the Council. He stated that he has a real problem with the MTC
study that was done and written about in the paper. Frank stated that he does this type of
survey work for a living. The methodology that was used in this study seems very suspect.
They only sampled 104 residents which isn't necessarily a valid sample. They also ask some
very vague questions, such as whether you would be willing to pay a small amount to ride the
bus. The real question is how much money is a small amount. The breakdown between
homeowners and students also doesn't seem very indicative of the general population of St.
Joseph. The survey sample does not accurately represent the demographics of the
community, Frank indicated that he is still waiting to receive more information from Tom .
Cruikshank at the MTC. He wanted to address the Council on the issue immediately though,
to express his discomfort with the findings and methodology thus far.
Hiemenz stated that MTC will be providing us with more information on the survey at a later
date. They haven't given us a dollar figure yet. There have already been some Council
members that have expressed discomfort with the study and its findings.
AI Rassier addressed the Council. He stated that he is the outgoing rental inspector and
would just like to express his desire to be on the rental ordinance committee that the Council
will vote on later in the meeting. He also heard that the, moratorium was only going to be
sixty days. He stressed that the moratorium should be longer as the committee will need
ample time to look at the ordinance and recommend changes. Rassier stated that he feels
his experiences and expertise with the rental ordinance make him a necessary component for
the group.
7. Portable Sign Ordinance - By report, Carlson stated that the City Council heard a request
from the St. Joseph Parish to waive the $25 permit fee for the use of a portable sign for their
monthly breakfast. St. Joseph Parish made the argument that they are a non profit and
should not be charged for the permit. Carlson reported that his recommendation is to keep
the ordinance intact and uniformly enforce the Ordinance to anyone requesting the use of a
portable sign, To cover the cost associated with City staff enforcement and the Building
Inspector monitoring the use, a minimum fee of $25,00 is required. By charging $25,00
across the board for a portable sign permit, uniformity is created among the business
community and civic organizations, The $25 fee will not create a hardship for any
organization or business.
Carlson also gave the option of exempting the non profits from the $25,00 fee, The .
ordinance would be enforced the same for the non profits but the fee would not be required,
2
,
Twit made a (notion to accept Carlson's recommendation to keep the $25 fee in place and
- apply it uniformly to all applicants. Hiemenz seconded the motion. Loso stated that he has a
problem with charging a fee to these non profit groups. Historically we haven't charged
churches and other non profits fees for these types of services. This act could ruffle the
feathers of a lot of organizations and individuals that give back a great deal to the community,
Ehlert stated that he agrees with Loso. This is a matter of principle. These civic
organizations do a great deal for the community. Ehlert stated that this would require the
Rod and Gun Club, the Lions, the Parish and other groups to get a permit each time they
want to put out a sign. Schmidt stated that for most groups the $25 fee would cover them for
the entire year. Carlson agreed and stated that the Parish had a limited number of days that
they would have the sign up. They only needed to get one permit and pay the one time fee.
Ehlert stated that that sounds different than what was discussed when this was presented to
the Planning Commission. Ehlert agreed that this does sound more like a streamlined
process but that he is still against charging the non profits a fee for the sign permit.
Loso suggested limiting the number of events that each non profit can hold per year. Twit
stated that if thè City doesn't apply this uniformly, that staff will be forced to keep two sets of
books. This $2'p fee is not going to make or break these groups, In fact, they don't bat an
eye at the Staté gambling fee that they must obtain before holding any of their fundraisers,
Carlson stated that there are six to twelve civic groups that will be affected by this. There are
approximately 142 businesses that have the option to obtain a permit for a portable sign,
Loso asked what constitutes a portable sign? What about banners? Carlson stated that he
was told by the City Attorney that banners were a different issue and must be addressed by
separate ordinance. The portable sign is any sign that is mobile. Loso stated that just
about anything ~ould be considered mobile. This may be an issue that comes up in the
future.
. Schmidt stated that if the Council is interested in doing something different for the non profit
groups that she would recommend approving Carlson's option and just waiving the $25 fee
but treating the non profits the same. Ehlert stated that they should try this for a year and see
how it goes, Carlson will be enforcing it so there won't be a charge for Euteneur's office,
Weyrens stated that the $25 fee also goes toward paying the insurance for the building
inspector, as the City does not carry that.
Hiemenz made a motion to amend the previous motion to waive the $25 fee for al/ non profit
organizations. Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Street Lighting for 16th and 17th - Schmidt reported that Gerald Marthaler, Operations
Engineer for Stearns Electric, analyzed the lighting conditions on 16th and 1ih, He proposes
no lighting changes for 16th, but would add two lights on 1ih. He provided two payment
options for the Council to consider. In Option A, we would pay a one time fee of $980 for the
two lights. In option 8, we pay $8.25 a month-FOREVER. The City has historically taken
Option A, as we haven'twantedto pay for the light indefinitely, Loso made a motion to
accept option A and pay the one time fee of $980 and the monthly usage charge for the
additional lights on '·1ih avenue. Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Rental Housing Moratorium - Schmidt reported that the Council has before them an interim
ordinance that would establish a six month moratorium on rental housing. The ordinance
also states that the Council will appoint a committee to discuss the issue. Schmidt stated that
she would recommend appointing a separate body, A number of individuals have expressed
interest in serving on this task force (Hub Klein, AI Rassier, Doris Johnson). There should
also be a landlord presence in these discussions. The Council may want to direct staff to
advertise for those individuals that are interested in serving on the committee. This group
. would study the issues and the changes that need to be made to the ordinance and practices
and report back to the Council with recommendations. Loso stated that an individual from the
3
,
colleges should also be involved in the discussions. Twit made a motion to adopt the special
interim ordinance 2000-1 placing a six month moratorium onafl new rental licenses,
seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed unanimously. -
Twit stated that the committee should be limited to another resident, a landlord and a
representative of the colleges in addition to the named individuals. Schmidt stated that the
committee would then consist of a staff liaison, Hub Klein, Doris Johnson, AI Rassier, Steve
Hagman, another landlord, resident and representative of the colleges, Ehlert made a
motion to appoint a rental housing ordinance review committee composed of the
aforementioned individuals. Loso seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Schmidt
asked for clarification that if more people called ,that staff would have the authority to appoint
the individuals. The Council agreed. Loso stated that he would also like to ensure that the
committee receives the information that the Council obtained during their joint meetings with
the colleges.
10. Personnel Manual-Schmidt asked the Council whether or not they would like to table this
discussion until all of the Council members could be present. Hiemenz stated that the
Council postponed the item last time as both members of the personnel committee weren't
present. It seems appropriate that the Council move forward at this time though.
Schmidt stated that the two items that were left for discussion were the
overtime/compensation time policy and sick leave. The Council spent considerable time
discussing the effects if hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid sick
leave are not computed in hours worked when computing overtime, The City attorney
suggested the following language be added to the personnel policy: "Hours away from work
for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid sick time will not be computed in hours worked for
the purpose of computing eligibility for overtime pay." Twit stated that the Council discussed
this issue at length. His concern is that the employees are not able to pyramid their time. .
This provision would keep an employee from taking vacation on a week where they know that
they will work more hours, simply for the purpose of getting overtime, Twit stated that
overtime should only be paid for actual hours worked, not days of scheduled days of
vacation,
Loso stated that scheduled vacation should be counted as hours worked for the computation
of overtime. Twit stated that the 4th of July has been a problem in the past. The employee is
able to get vacation time, over time and holiday pay which equates to triple time, Loso stated
that this is a management control and approval issue. If management approves the vacation
there shouldn't be a question, Schmidt stated that the LELS contract includes a provision
that covers pyramiding and compounding of hours, This could be included in the personnel
manual.
Twit made a motion to add the language: "Hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled
vacation or paid sick time will not be computed in hours worked for the purpose of computing
eligibility for overtime pay." Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously,
Schmidt stated that the suggestion made by the City Attorney's office regarding sick leave
was for cost savings only. They suggested that the City does not need to allow the
employees to bank such a large amount. Schmidt stated that there is no legal requirement
that they must change this provision. In addition, the City has a lot of employees that have
worked for the City many years with the understanding that they were building up their time.
It seems unfair to take that away from them now, Ehlert agreed stating that any change that
would be considered would only apply to new employees and the rest would essentially be
"grand-fathered in."
Twit stated that overtime has been taken advantage of in the past. This has nothing to do .

with the current personnel that we have. There is the possibility, however, that an employee
· in the future, might try to take advantage of the situation and schedule vacation during a Week
that they know they will get overtime. Ehlert agreed stating that in this situation the employee
I is actually getting double time when they schedule vacation on a holiday.
\
Schmidt stated that the Council could add a provision into the contract that states if an
employee is call~d in off vacation, they are paid at time and a half (without using the term
"overtime,") Weyrens stated that this would create a contradiction in the personnel manual.
Schmidt stated t~at perhaps the Council would like to address this issue at the next meeting
when the issues.can be laid out a little more clearly. ' Twit stated that the issues have been
laid out.
Loso made a motion to adopt the policy as currently written with the understanding that the
Council will re-visit the topics of sick leave and vacation hours used in the computation of
overtime. Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
11. Mayors Report + Hiemenz reported that the City hired a new rental inspector and that hiring
needs to be offici$lIy approved by the Council. The Administrator, Mayor and current rental
inspector AI Rassier interviewed three candidates for the position. Steve Hagman was the
best of the three candidates, He currently owns his own building inspection business in St.
Cloud. Ehlert made a motion to approve the hiring of the part time rental inspector Steve
Hagman. The motion was seconded by Hiemenz and passed unanimously.
Hiemenz reported that he received a letter from a resident in Kraemer Lake who is interested
in being hooked up to the St. Joseph water and sewage systems.
Hiemenz reported that he attended the League of Minnesota Cities conference for
· experienced officials that was facilitated by Carl Neu. It was a very informative conference.
2, Council Reports - Twit asked when the next EDA meeting was scheduled for. Ehlert stated
that he had one item from the Park Board regarding the fifth phase of Kiinefelter Park, They
are seeking approval from the Council for a $5,945 expenditure for playground equipment.
Twit stated that this amount was higher than what was approved last year. Ehlert stated that
they should have enough budgeted to cover this amount. Ehlert made a motion to approve
the $5,945 expenditure for the playground equipment for Klinefelter Park up to the amount
that is available in the Park Board budget. Twit seconded the motion and it passed
unanimously. Cable Commissioner Tom Nahan reported that Marge Lesnick called and
reported that the Park Board budget has $5,800. Ehlert stated that there are other funds that
I can be used to make up the difference,
!
I
113, Clerk/Administrator Report - Schmidt reminded the Council of some upcoming meetings,
I
1~, Closed Session: Hiemenz stated that at this time, the Council would adjourn to cfosed session for
a discussion of the Police Chief candidate selection.
At 10:15 PM the Council reconvened. Schmidt reported that the Council would be meeting again
on Wednesday the 9th at 5:00 in closed session to continue their discussion of the Police Chief
candidates.
Adjourn - Loso made a motion to adjourn at 10:20 PM, seconded by Ehlert. The motion
passed unanimously.

To: Mayor and City Council
,
From: Cari Schmidt I,
Date: 02/10/00 i
Re: Personnel Mahuallssues
\There are two remaining issues to discuss as part of the Personnel Manual: sick leave and the
'Overtime/comp time policy, I have included the relevant portions of the personnel manual and the letter
from the attorney for your review.
Sick Leave: The attorriey has suggested that the. City need not allow the employees to accrue/and be
. eaid out 720 hours, Again, as I stated at the last meeting, we have a number of employees that have
~ccumulated sick. leave for 15+ years with the understanding that it would be paid out. It would be
rxtremely unfair to change that now. If the Council decides to make a change in this area, it would be
fY recommendation that this only apply to new employees.
I
Overtime/Comp time pOlicv:, The discussion surrounding this issue last week was a little confusing,
rhe Council voted to add the language "Hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid
tck time wiii not be ~mputed In hours WOrked for the purposes of computing overtime pay." The
i tended! or unintendedl result is this: If a maintenance employee works Monday- Thursday (32 hours)
,uttakes a vacation day on Friday, and is scheduled to work overtime on the weekend (to check the
Mater and waste water systems), he will not be paid time and a half for this weekend work, Asthe eight
ours of vacation on Fridaydo not count as hours worked, this will only be paid at straight time.
I
1he other question that comes up is what is sçheduled overtime, and what is a call out (incidental
overtime or emergency overtime)? If an employee is told on Wednesday afternoon that they have to
cpme back late that nig~t (early the next morning) to plow snow-is that scheduled overtime or a call
r 0ñe dl~œ beirg time and a haUr~aroless m the hours wŒked so fur ~ring the week or
s raight time if 40 hours haven't already been put in,)
y recommendation is that a call out is anything that isn't given with more that a week's advance
notice, A similar provision was placed in' the latest LELS contract:
'Work schedules shall be posted one (1) week in advance, subject to change due, to
I emergency cirQJmstanœs... AnY department initiated changes less than one (1) week in
advance after posting will be paid at the overtime rate."
I
Tthis provision should also be placed in the personnel manual.
.
I
. Þage 1
\
\
.
The Council also expressed interest in adding a "no pyramiding" clause to the manual. The following .'
language was added to the LELS contract:
"For purposes of computing overtime compensation, overtime hours worked shall not be
pyramided, compounded, or paid twice for the same hours worked,"
Please call me if you have any questions.

Wit the supervisor's approval, an employee may take up to one day without pay to attend funerals of other
rela, ives and friends. Va~ation time may be used forthis purpose. .
I
I
!
Pay for a funeral leave wipbe.made for actual time lost from work. If the death occurs at a time when work
is nJt scheduled, payment!¡ will not be made. If a funeral leave is requested during an employee's vacation,
theylwill not receive vaca~ion pay in addition to a paid funeral leave.
An jxcused absence for family death may not be retroactive, postponed or split.
19.6 Jury and Court :rLeave
I
'I
I
It is n employee's civic d~ty as a citizen to report for jury duty whenever called. If an employee is called for
jury uty, the City will pe1f11it them to take the necessary time off and the City wishes to help an employee
avoi any financial loss because of such service. The City of St.Joseph will reimburse an employee for the
diffe~ence be~een their jury pay and their regular pay, not to exceed eight (8) hours per day, fora maximum
ofte ' (10) busmess days.
An e ployee must notify their supervisor/department head within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of the jury
sum ons. On any day or half-day that the employee isnot required to serve, they will be expected to return
. to wo k. In order to receiv~ jury duty pay, they must present a statement of jury service and pay to their
supe isor/department. This document is issued by the court.
\ '. c'
Court\leave is not available.if an employee is called as awitness in a non-official capacity on behalf of a
privat party, If an employee's presence as a representative of the City of St. Joseph, is required in an
offici I capacity, or on behalf of a private part in official capacity, they are only entitled to their
regul r salary.

to the s pervisor/department for any absence.

.'
Sick leave may be granted for the purposes of visiting doctors, dentists or other practitioners in their offices.
This time may also be used for tending to a serious illness suffered by a member of an employee's immediate
family, in the event the illness requires their personal time and attention. For purposes of this section,..
immediate family includes spouse, child, parent, or sibling living in their home. If another person can attend
to the needs of an ill family member, the employee is expected to fulfill their duties as an employee of the
City of St. Joseph.
The City of St. Joseph may request "proof-of-illness" and may also use an appointed physician to examine'
the employee.
If an employee is required to take a disability leave of absence, any accrued sick leave may be paid at the
time the leave commences. Payment will be equal to one half of the accrued sick leave balance.
Ifan~p:1plºyeein)'[rãÍ1~ãppfõvea lêâve'ôf ábséhc'é-fdf1ess than thirty (30) days, an employee's sick leave

The sick leave policy applies to all full time regular employees on the City of St. Joseph's payroll. It also
does not apply if sick leave is ne,eded as a result of self-inflicted injury, illegal substance abuse or alcohol
abuse, or illness or injury incurred while in the act of committing a felony. Sick leave is allowed for persons
entering a certified treatment program for drug or chemical abuse. .
In the event of an illness or injury covered by workers' compensation, this sick leave policy will not apply,
but will defer to the State Statute,
Sick days accumulate to a maximum of 720 hours. For each sick day accrued beyond the maximum allowed
days, one straight time shift will be paid, with individual checks quarterly,

16.4 Error In Pay
Every effort is made to avoid errors in paychecks. If an employee believes an error has been made, they
should bring it to the attention of their supervisor immediately. The supervisor will take the necessary steps
to research the problem and to assure that any necessary correction is made properly and promptly.
16.5 Differential Pay
Differential pay will be applied to regularly scheduled work hours from 6:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m. (Not to

16.6 Overtime/Compensatory Time Policy
From time to time, it may be necessary for an employee to perform overtime work in order to complete a job
on time. All overtime must be approved in advance by the supervisor / department head and/or City
Council. At the time of requesting approval, the department head will submit an explanation as to why the
overtime is needed. When it is necessary to work overtime, an employee is expected to cooperate as a
condition of employment. There are two types of overtime work:
a) Scheduled Overtime: Scheduled overtime work is announced in advance, This type of .
overtime becomes part of the required workweek of the people who are members of the
department. If an employee must be excused from performing scheduled overtime, they
should speak with their supervisor. He or she will consider the individual situation and
the requirements of the department in deciding whether an employee may be excused
from performing the scheduled overtime.
b) Incidental Overtime: Incidental overtime isn't scheduled, it becomes necessary in
response to extenuating circumstances. It is extra time needed to complete work
normally completed during regular hours, Incidental overtime may become necessary
when an illness or emergency keeps co-workers from being at work as anticipated, It
may require an employee to return to the workplace for emergency work. Overtime is at
the discretion of the City for employees who are eligible.
If a "non-exempt" employee performs overtime work, they will be paid one and one-half (1-112) times their
regular hourly wage for any time over forty (40) hours per week that an employee works, If during that
week, they were away from the job because of a job-related injury, jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid
sick time, those hours not worked will be counted as hours worked for the purpose of computing eligibility
for overtime pay,
c) Emergency Overtime: Employees may be, called for overtime work as a result in the
disruption of service to the residents of S1. Joseph. Services include, but are not limited
to Water, Sewer, Police, Fire & Streets. .~
d) Compensatory Hours Worked: Overtime work performed which is compensated for

TASK FORCE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING
I
I
Introduction
I
i
i
Theptfrpose of this outline is to provide the membership of the S1. Cloud Area
Joint Planning District with a framework to consider affordable housing issues in the
region. It is assumed that the Task Force would coordinate and report its efforts to
each individu~ljurisdiction represented·bythe Planning District rather than the
District Board litself. Stafffrom Stearns County and the S1. Cloud Area Economic
Development ~artnership would coordinate the Task Force's activities. For the Task
F orc~ to be suqcessful, each unit of government represented by the District Board
should accept the Task Force's definition of the problem, its mission statement, and
I
its makeup. AS suggested by the District Planuing Consuitant, this Task Force wouid
I
serve as the non-political entity in this process whereas each local unit of
I . .
government's councilor board would serve as the political entity assigned oversight
and approval. I '.
i
I
. i
I
Scope i
,
The Tas* Force will focus its primary efforts on those portions of Benton,
Sherburne, and ~tearns counties comprising the five cities of Sartell, Sauk Rapids, 81.
Cloud, St. Iosepr, and Waite Park.
Rational~: Although affordable housing is an issue throughout the three
counties, a smalÙ:r Scope is necessary to make the taskfeasible. Nearby townships
mayfind the findings of the Task Force helpful, but the difficulties Ofcoordination
among a large n~mber of governmental units requires a limitatíonof Scope to ensure
ane.ffective focus~
Proposed Mi.lion Statement
I
The Missi6n of the Central Minnesota Task Force on Affordable Housing is to
investigate the la* of affordable housing in the region, to educate area leaders and
the public, and to propose policies and practices to local units of government that
would move themltoward a coordinated and cooperative solution to the, problem.

Proposed Definition .
The initial affordable housing problem to be addressed by the Task Force
involves households whose family income exceeds eligibility requirements for public
subsidized housing, but are currently earning a wage rate that is insufficient to rent or
purchase adequate housing at a price that is below 30% of their total annual income.
After formulating recommended strategies to deal with this population, further study
would involve those lower income populations and their needs. (who likely qualify
for public subsidized housing)
Proposed Overall Goals of the Task Force
1. Promote a diverse supply of well maintained, attractive, safe, and
affordable housing that is designed to meet the needs of all economic
levels and age groups within each community.
2. Include an adequate housing supply in regional activities aimed at
economic development and land use planning.
Proposed General Policy Statement .
Local units of government should work in a coordinated and cooperative
manner to improve the quantity, quality and diversity of affordable housing in the
region. This cooperation should encourage public-private partnerships when
applicable and should utilize all resources available to achieve this common goal.
Specific goals and objectives identified by the St. Cloud Area Joint Planning District
Plan, local housing agencies, and local governments ,should be considered when
addressing the problem.
Proposed Responsibilities of Task Force and Local Jurisdictions:
Task Force:
1. Scope: Approve mission statement, definition of problem, scope.ofthe
project, and establish a broad policy statement.
2. Funding: Identify and seek funding as required.
3. Data Collection: The Task Force will review existing data on the
affordable housing problem previously compiled by housing agencies and
local governments in the area. .
I
\ -3-
\
· 4. Ed~cation: With the help of civic leaders, area developers, builders,
bankers and interested citizens, the Task Force will develop an education
program to inform civic leaders and the public on the need and advantages
of iJ:nproving the quantity, quality, and diversity of affordable housing in
hi.
t e regIOn.
5. AdLacy: The TaskForce will de~elopart advo~acy plan enlisting civic
leaders, housing authority experts, private sector stakeholders, and
intetested citizens to promote implementation strategies. .. The task force
I
wiW¡coordinate its efforts with local units of government in the region.
I
6. Polity Proposals: The Task Force will develop specific policy proposals,
goals, and action steps which shall be presented and recommended to
indi~iduallocalgovernments in the region. These strategies will again
enlis1t the cooperation of civic leaders, housing authorities, private sector
stak¿holders, and interested citizens.

fac litate discussion. \
In ach of the following: options, I will identify the body that would serve as the
coo dinating/governing þntity.I will also identify the role and responsibilities ofthis body and
ho it would interact w~th each of the participating jurisdictions. The discussion of each
alte ative will include ky comments about the challenges or keys to success related to each
I
apprach.\¡
Opt" on II
\
Coo dinatin Enti :T11e Established Joint Planning District Board (or replacement members
app ¡inted by the participkting jurisdictions)
Aut~orization:Thecurr~ntjoint powers agreement would be amended to support the Board's
ongOrg role andrespons1bilities.
Proc ss.Roles and Resp~nsibilities: The Board could meet quarterly, to begin with, and decide
later ~f it needs more or le~s frequent meetings. Each of the participating jurisdictions will be
respopsible for updating their respective plans and ordinances to incorporate and support the
. plannfd urban areas and growth management strategies outside the urban areas. When this work
is completed, each ofthe tÌ1ember communities should make a presentation to the Board. The
Boar meetings wouldals~ include update presentations fromthe advisory committees that it
i
í

,(
,
established, including: The Regional Wastewater Advisory Committee, The Regional Affordable ·
Housing Committee and The Regional Parks and Open Space Committee.
A variety of findings and recommendations would be,brought to the Board and it could consider
adopting a variety of policy positions.
Discussion: The success of this approach will be tied to the commitment of the participating
jurisdictions. Unless otherwise provided for in the amended joint powers agreement, all
decisions would be by consensus, or majority vote and compliance would be voluntary.
The Board would need some ongoing staff assistance to coordinate with the jurisdictions and
conunittees. The success of this approach would be heavily dependent uponthe ability of staff to
understand and present the implications of local plans, i.e. interpret their
consistency/inconsistency with the Regional Plan apd to communicate this clearly to the Board.
The staff would also need to prepare clear and informative reports regarding committee activities
and reconunendations and to assist the Board in responding to these issues.
Ideally, the District staff could also prepare a work program to accomplish all of the goals of the
Plan and report to the Board about its progress. Obviously, this would require some periodic
actions on the part of the Board.
This approach may well be a good place to start. It would provide the local jurisdictions with the ·
opportunity to demonstrate that they are capable of implementing the plan and accomplishing its
objectives without being forced to do so. After 6 months or one year, the system could be
evaluated, both for. basic compliance and the extent to which broader plan goals are being
addressed.
Options for Coordinatimu'Governin2: Entity:
Option 2 - The existing board structure, augmented to township representatives.
Authorization - Amended Joint Powers Agreement
Option .3- The Area Planning Organization
Authorization - Legislative Amendment
Option 4 - Establish a new Regional Planning Authority
Authorization - New Legislative Authority Established
Discussion:
Option 2 - Adding some township representation may approve "buy-in" and facilitate on-
going conununication.
Option 3 - There has historically been a reluctance to broaden the role and responsibility of ·
the APO. This was part of the general rejection of regionalism in the area. ·This
always warrants further discussion. The APO does have broad representation in
_.

draw!¡upon. No one should assume that this change could occur without extensive
dialogue and a very clear understanding of authority, responsibilities, process,

expeqtatlOns, etc. i
I
From I everything that we heard throughout this process, it is highly unlikely Jat

option that needs to be acknowledged and discussed. It may be esomething that
