At 7th they will run the lines under one block and then back above ground again to 2nd Ave NW and into the college. In the past the Council has been reluctant to allow lines to be placed above ground.

There were a few other items that were postponed from the last meeting (BFI, Seren and the joint trenching issue). These items will be on the agenda for August l7Ù1. At the last meeting, the Council asked whether or not street lighting was addressed in the Northland Developers Agreement. Street lighting was NOT addressed in the agreement. I have contacted NSP and they will be conducting a street lighting assessment of the area. At the last meeting, a question was raised as to the outcome of Dan Hemminger's pole barn in Pondview. I have enclosed the agreement that was drafted by John Scherer and signed by the Mayor. Gene Lange is doing the excavation work and Palmer Lakes is doing the relocation of the structure. Building inspector Ron Euteneur will be paying for half of the cost of this error. The total cost of this project is approximately $4,200. The City will be paying for half of this amount. This type of structure will not be permitted in the future, due to the changes to the ordinance suggested by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council.

St. Joseph Police Department Supplementary Report ICR#: 00002011 & 00002012 DATE: July 16, 2000 COMPLAINANT: Sue Pitzen OFFENSE: Noise Complaint At approximately 0310 hours, Sunday, July 16,2000, I was dispatched to Old Highway 52, St. Joseph, MN 56374, Steams County, for a complaint of loud music. Steams dispatch said that the complainant, Sue Pitzen, said that there was a truck in the back yard playing music loudly, and they have a camp fire. She described the location as between 314 to 318 Old Hwy 52. I was westbound on West Birch St. and turned onto Old Hwy 52. I had my vehicle windows open, and when I was in front of the 8-plex I could here the music clearly. I stopped in front of314 Old Hwy 52 and as I exited the . squad I could hear that the music was very loud. I walked to the back of the building and saw a black truck parked there with all the doors open. There was a male at the driver door leaning in and he must have turned the volume of the music up because it became louder than before. There were two other people in the back yard sitting by the camp fire. I approached the male and asked him to turn down the music. I told him there was a complaint about the noise. I asked him for his I.D. and he said it was in the apartment. I asked him ifhe lived here and he said he lived in 314. He said the other people were in 316. I asked him what he meant and he said the party is in 316 but he lives in 314. I asked him to get his I.D. I then asked the female sitting at the fire if she is a renter, and she said she is. I asked her if there are any other renters here at this time and she said no. I told her of the noise complaint, that it is a violation, and I would be notifying her landlord. I asked her for her I.D. and she gave it to me. I asked her how many people are at the party, and she said only ten people. She said that they would stay in the residence. Her Minnesota driver license identified her as Kelly Christine Knewtson, 03- 05-79. I issued her a citation for violating the St. Joseph noise ordinance #102. A court date is set for 0830 hours, Tuesday, August 29,2000 at the Steams County Courthouse. 1 , , ., .' . While I was at the squad car with Knewtson, the male finally came with his I.D., n identified him as Nathan Eric Kirschner 11-02-78. I issued him a citation for violating the noise ordinance also with the same court date. They became quite argumentive when I issued them citations. They said I could not do that, and said that they were broke college students and couldn't afford the fines. I advised them again that I would be notifying their landlord. At approximately 0350 hours this date, I telephoned Randy Mathews at 656- 1845. An answering machine picked up and I lèft a message advising him of the noise violation at his property.

Variance Request - EDA Director, Chad Carlson, submitted a report that explained that Paul Sullivan, owner of Paul Mar, Inc., presented a proposal to establish a Chester Fired Chicken . restaurant franchise to replace the existing Stardust Video business next to Taco Johns. Taco Johns is also owned by Mr. Sullivan. The current businesses of Stardust Video and Taco Johns have enough parking spaces as required by Ordinance. However, Mr. Sullivan states in his cover letter that the site plan is short three parking spaces necessary for the Taco Johns and the new Chester Fried Chicken business. Mr. Sullivan presented his variance for three parking spaces to the Planning Commission on July 10th. After a considerable amount of discussion centering around the traffic congestion that currently exists at the site, the Planning Commission felt that the restaurant would increase the traffic on the site and adversely impact the parking offered by adjacent businesses. In addition, the Planning Commission felt that the owner was creating the hardship by considering a business that would increase traffic levels and the need for additional parking spaces. Therefore, the Planning Commission is recommending denial of the variance request. After the public hearing had concluded, the Planning Commission suggested that Mr. Sullivan acquire the necessary space for the three parking spots needed for the business. The Planning Commission felt that the business would be a good addition to the community of St. Joseph. Loso stated that he thinks that the parking situation would have worked and would like to see this business in St. Joseph. Ehlert stated that the Planning Commission was in favor of the business, but felt that the parking situation was a problem. They felt that the businesses would complement one another very well. Loso stated that since Mr. Sullivan was not present to argue his case, he would move to accept the Planning Commissions recommendation to deny the variance of the three parking stalls at this time. Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Ehlert stated that Mr. Sullivan is working with Chad Carlson to try and figure out some other options to make it work. 9. Mayor and Council Reports - Hiemenz was absent from the meeting. Ehlert asked about . the progress on the slow children signs on Dale. Schmidt stated that Public Works Director Dick Taufen will be looking at them. He is, however, on vacation thi~ week. Twit had no report. Loso asked that NSP do a street lighting study of Norhtland to determine the lighting needs in the area. Ehlert stated that he thought this was addressed in the developers agreement. Loso stated that it wasn't covered in this agreement. Schmidt stated that she would look into it and if the development agreement did not address street lighting, that she would have NSP conduct a study. Niedenfuer reported that the Healthy Community Partners will be having two meetings in August, one for a fun activity and one for work. They are also coordinating a city-wide survey in conjunction with a town meeting sometime in the fall. Loso reported that he and Schmidt met with the Union and the City stewards today. The two sides agreed to meet every Friday morning from 10:00 am - 12:00 am starting August 4th until they either settle the contract or reach an impasse. Ehlert asked about the outside negotiator. Schmidt stated that she was requested by aCouncil member to contact an outside negotiator that might be willing to help the City with the negotiations. Schmidt stated that she contacted Cy Smythe, from Labor Relations Associates. He would charge the City his basic subscription rate of $80 per hour. Loso suggested that the City try to do it on their own first, before hiring someone from the outside to do it. Twit asked Chief Will if he had heard anything about the Administrative Assistant grant for the Police Departmènt. Will stated that they have 30 days to respond and it looks like they will be using their full 30 days to decide. He will update the Council as soon as he hears something. Niedenfuer asked that the Council bring the items that weren't discussed to the next meeting so that they don't have to be recopied for the next packet. The Council agreed. 10.

Mr. Hansen reported the West Metro Corridor Steering Committee, made up of the seven effected jurisdictions (the cities of st. Cloud, st. Joseph, sartell and Waite Park, the Townships of LeSauk and st. Joseph, and the County of Stearns), is recommending three possible formulas for funding the EIS. They are asking the Executive Board to make a recommendation to the APO Policy Board on which formula should be used. It is anticipated that the EIS could take two to three years to complete and once completed could be one of the Metro Area projects that special federal earmarked funding could be pursued for. I Mr. Ellenbecker indicated that he has difficulty in supporting any of the proposed formulas, as the primary benefactor of this corridor isn't paying a significant enough portion. Discussion fo~rowed on how the needs for this corridôr study is not only for the origination of these trips, (the City of Sartell) but also where the trips destinations are (the cities of st. Cloud and waite Park) . Other issues discussed included the current congestion across the 8th street North Bridge, and how at one time a corridor was included within st. Cloud Township's Transportation Plan but has since been lost to development. Mr. D. Mareck stated that as a member of the Steering Committee many formulas were reviewed and none were found to be magic, the three presented were considered the best of those available. Several Board members indicated that they were not comfortable making a recommendation on funding formulas that did not involve their individual jurisdiction. Mr. Hansen asked if the Board would prefer directing this item directly to the effected jurisdictions without an APO Policy Board recommendation. Some discussion took place on the possibility of Stearns County paying for the entire EIS, as the corridor will more than likely be a County Road. Mr. Haws stated he did not believe the County would be willing tò make such a commitment. Ms. Schaefer moved, Mr. Grandy seconded, to direct all three possible funding formulas directly to the affected jurisdictions with no recommendation from the APO Policy Board. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Miller suggested that a meeting of the affected jurisdictions be held one hour prior to the regular APO Policy Board meeting on July 27th. 4 ~ ." ....

It was explained that the 2000 Office Supply line item included some furniture purchases that were made in 1999. That is why this line item remained the same. Mr. Hansen indicated, 1999, that with the staff re-structuring, a request for additional computer equipment and some training will be corning to the Board for their consideration. ) The motion to recommend approval of the budget carried \) unanimously. 1 ~ CONSIDERATION OF JULY POLICY BOARD AGENDA: ~ Mr. Pauley moved, Mayor Miller seconded, to approve the agenda 4ÌÞ as presented.

TIME: 6:30 P.M. - (PRIOR TO REGULAR APO BOARD MEETING) A Voluntary Association That is Committed to Coordinated Long-Range Planning Through Constant, Cooperative, Intergovernmental Communication West Metro Corridor Study . July 20, 2000 Page 2 Study Background Over the past year, the West Metro Corridor Scoping Study has evaluated road and bridge improvement alternatives to address forecasted congestion within the West St. Cloud Metropolitan Area, specifically focusing on the 8th Street bridge corridor. Four alternatives were selected from this Scoping Study as feasible options for addressing road and bridge improvement needs in this area. The next step in the process is to secure the necessary funds for an EIS to evaluate in detail the social, economic, environmental and transportation aspects of each alternative. This analysis will ultimately help local officials in selecting a preferred alternative that will be constructed in phases over a period of years. EIS Cost Estimate and Funding Options The cost to complete the West Metro EIS has been estimated at approximately $300,000. Staff have been unable to identify a State funêling source for this Study. There are, however, two potêntial federal sources available; these sources include High Priority Project funds and Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds. Either of these federal sources would provide eighty-percent (or $240,000) of the Study cost, leaving twenty- percent (or $60,000) to divide among local jurisdictions. If neither of these federal sources can be secured in a timely fashion, consideration will have to be given to dividing the entire $300,000 Study cost among local jurisdictions. '. EIS Cost-Sharing Formulas Over the past two months, the West Metro Corridor Steering Committee has discussed formula options for distributing the $60,000 or $300,000 local cost for the EIS. Based on these discussions, the Committee recommended to the APO Executive Board on July 13th that one of the following formulas be used. Specific costs per jurisdiction for each formula are attached to this memorandum. Formula 1: assumes a one-third (1/3) weight on equal participation, a one-third (1/3) weight on existing community characteristics, and a one-third (1/3) weight on community growth characteristics. Formula 2: assumes a fifty (50%) default to Steams County, and pro-rates the remaining cost to other local jurisdictions based on Formula 1. Formula 3: assumes a fifty (50%) default to Steams County, and pro-rates the remaining cost to other local jurisdictions based on a one-fourth (1/4) weight on total trip generation (1995-2025), a one-fourth (1/4) weight on total population (1995-2025), a one-fourth (1/4) weight on existing market value, and a one-fourth (1/4) weight on existing tax capacity. APO Executive Board Action After discussing the formulas, the Executive Board reached a consensus decision that only elected officials representing jurisdictions involved in the West Metro Corridor Study should be involved in selecting a local . cost-share formula for the EIS. Accordingly, a meeting of APO elected officials representing jurisdictions in the West Metro Corridor Study has been scheduled in an attempt to resolve the EIS funding issue.

FROM: Executive Director R.E: APO By-Law Amendments . . - Over the past several months' two questions have been raised relative to APO operating procedures. The Executive Board has discussed these questions and is proposing By-Law amendments to address them. . The first relates to Policy Board acceptance of Executive Board minutes without access to materials the Executive Board discussed. Of primary concern, was the acceptance of APO monthly expenditures without a listing of the bills. Since the By- Laws expressly provide the Executive Board with authority to receive and disburse monies within the approved budget as well as numerous other duties, it is recommended that acceptance of Executive Board minutes by the General Membership be deleted from the By-Laws. Listed below is the recommended amendment to Article V. Executive Board, Section 5. Minutes: The Secretary of the APO shall record a roll of members, minutes of proceedings, a record of votes, and shall keep a permanent file for such purposes. Minutes of the Executive Board shall be approved, as a separate order of business, by a majority vote of the Executive Board members present, at the next regular meeting of the APO. Subsequent acceptance of these minutes, but the General Membership shall constitute approval of the Executive Board. The second question related to APO regular meeting attendance requirements. While review of the attendance records revealed only one violation of current attendance requirements, it was apparent that several members were missing a large percentage of duly called regular meetings. Accordingly, the Executive Board is . recommending a 50 percent attendance requirement. Listed below is the recommended amendment to Article II. Membership and Dues, Section 5. Attendance: A Voluntary Association That is Committed to Coordinated Long-Range Planning Through Constant, Cooperative, Intergovernmental Commun!cation Appointed representatives shall be required to attend at least fifty . percent of all reqular meetinqs duly called by the APO durinq their term of appointment. Attendance records will be kept and annually reported to member units. Should a representative fail to attend at least fifty percent of all Reqular Meetinqs or if # a representative misses three consecutive meetings without prior notification, that representative will be considered to have resigned, subject to re-appointment. Prior to final action on this implied resignation, the APO Executive Director will notify the principal elected official of the affected member unit, in writing, and request a written statement concerning the status of this representative. One month will be allowed for the written reply. The APO's Executive Board will have final authority in this matter. The By-Laws of the APO may be amended only upon a sixty-six percent (66%) vote of the total representatives present at a duly called meeting noticed for such . purpose. . . . - . - . - . . ~llallllt;l "tVVV - ~USl-'t;l;Lt;U .LJIUIlK. ~Lt;alS rVlll;t; ~al n:igt; 1 Vi ,¿. . ~;fiI . .~ Dre(JmirH~ of Owning a Home? .. .·~_<__<..n._.w_~_____._______,.". ,- >:,:"'~'v~"æ,~".,."""";,,,.: '-'..<--.",.,.,.-,----------....... ¡ ."'.~..'..'mm ~ '*.. .' -'-."" ,~, ~~ E-MAILSTORYTO A FIlENO: I .ø- NEWS· lEi Suspected Drunk Steals Police Car " Campaign 2000 Ne Dimension St. Cloud Police Led On High-Speed Chase Taxes 2000 Fre Session 2000 News Tips ST.

As we recall, the residents had asked how this could happen (improperly grading the lots so that . water would pond in the back yards). Amy stated that the building pads had been checked after the developer graded the overall site, and were found to be in compliance. We did not check the lot lines at that time, and can only assume they were properly constructed since the other grading in the area checked out. I stated to the group that the builder or his landscape subcontractor usually does the final lot grading after the house has been constructed. It simply depends on what the homeowner contracted for when he or she hired the builder. After much discussion, there was no clear-cut way to determine who was at fault, and the consensus was that the homeowners and builder should simply split the cost and get the work done as soon as possible. When we left the site, my understanding was that an agreement to this effect had been reached and the builder would proceed to have the work done. This is my recollection of the discussion.

Mayor Ken Hiemenz St. Joseph PO Box 668 21 1st Ave NW St. Joseph, MN 56374-4518 Dear Mayor Hiemenz: The Minnesota Legislature and Governor Ventura have approved the most significant increase in state transportation funding in more than a decade. The Invest2000 Coalition would like to thank you and your city council for your interest in this issue throughout the 2000 legislative session. We ofter special thanks and congratulations to those· cities that approved resolutions urging the Legislature and the governor to support increased transportation funding this year. Through your expressed support, the Legislature and the governor clearly received the message that transportation funding is a high priority for local governments and the citizens they represent. The 2000 transportation funding bill contains several significant short-term funding measures: Expenditures (est.) . * $177 million for inter-regional trunk highway corridors in Greater Minnesota; * $177 million for metro-area trunk highway and interstate bottlenecks; * $100 million for other trunk highway priorities as established by MnfDOT; * $39 million for local bridge replacement and rehabilitation; * $23.8 million for the County State Aid system; * $6.2 million for the Municipal State Aid system; * $26 million for mass transit projects; (Another $44 million in transit funding was included in the state bonding bill.) * $26 million for trunk highway facilities; * $5 million for the Rail Service Improvement Program; * $2 million for the Port Development Assistance Program; * $15 million for the Transportation Revolving Loan Fund; Fundinl! Sources (est.) * $404 million in one-Lime appropriation from the state General Fund; * $100 million in state trunk highway bonds; * $91 million from the state trunk highway fund. Funding Crisis Persists Despite its benefits, the 2000 transportation funding bill is merely a short-term measure that does not address the long- term transportation funding crisis facing Minnesota. It is estimated that Minnesota has more than $8 BILLION in unmet transportation funding needs over the next 10 years. In signing the 2000 funding bill, Governor V entura wro~ ( "w"ile I have signed the bill into law, I am tremendously disappointed in ils content. The Legislature ~ has missed a major opportunity to enact a long-term financing package that would provide permanent ~ / \ funding increases for highway and transit infrastructure that is critical to Minnesota's future sustainable , . ~onomic development....At best, this will accelerate a few already-planned highway projects, and it largely ignores needed new investment in transit.

Mayor Hiemenz St. Joseph June 30, 2000 Page Two Another problematic issue emerging from the 2000 session is the manner in which the state reduced motor vehicle license fees, which are constitutionally dedicated to the state's Highway User Tax Distribution Fund (HUTDF). To replace revenues lost to the HUTDF as a result of the license fee reduction, the Legislature approved a statutory dedication of a portion of motor vehicle excise tax revenues -- a general fund revenue -- to the HUTDF. Of great concern to Invest2000 and local units of government is the precedent of replacing constitutionally-dedicated funds with less reliable and less predictable statutory funds. As Minnesota's transportation community looks forward to the 2000 elections and the 2001 legislative session, we must work hard to encourage the Legislature and Governor Ventura to continue to make transportation funding a top priority. Legislative candidates throughout the state should be asked to support, at a minimum, the following transportation funding initiatives: ~ Approval in the 2001 legislative session ofa significant statewide, long-term highway and . transportation funding p'ackâge tOaddresgthe st~te's continuing trànsportation crisis. . - '-~_-::~-}..-,--;---:.-.-'~.. >..!--~.'¡-..:;.-.:; ::)~_\;,...<::j~..:...~~ \-~....'-"'_:'.'. ..>\::~- ~::; '; ~-~~ -'-.,-"-~;-:"- - . #," _.-.o. .

The typical assessment for each of your 8-unit apartments is projected to be $42,000, rather than $52,000 as originally shown. A revised copy of the handout is enclosed for your records. . As I stated earlier, each of your 8-unit apartment buildings is projected to be assessed as four equivalent residential units based on a formula adopted by the city. Though the city council has not formally determined the basis of assessment for this project, I will be recommending that the unit basis be used. Typically, these assessments are spread over 15 years at approximately 7 percent; the duration and interest rate are estimates which will be determined by the council at the assessment hearing.

As it states in the contract, all renters are responsible. . As it states in the police report there was an opportunity to avoid this situation, Mr. Thielman decided to ignore that opportunity. Each party pled guilty and paid a fine. We have the responsibility to the City of St. Joseph to insure that the students we rent to will be responsible adults and that we will enforce our rental contract. As for those that didn't get cited, we are sure you were at the house and could have helped prevent this situation. We are sorry that this had to end in this manner as we thought we had an understanding after the first situation. Congratulations on your graduation and the best of luck to you in the future.

Jim Graeve did not attend the meeting. . Agenda distributed and approved. Reports Sister Miriam reported on the survey meeting. . Ernie, Donna, S. Miriam & Tom I Wicks from Kid Stop (for Glenn Deutz) met Monday, June 26 at the meeting grounds. They reviewed surveys and decided on one, which S. Miriam distributed. This was a first draft, which was discussed and approved. It was decided that it would go out with the St. Joseph Newsleader to save postage. There would be drop off spots for those people who do not wish to mail it back. The target date for the survey to be out will be 2 weeks prior to the town meeting (late Sept.lOct.) A copy of the first draft will be sent out to all those members who did not attend this meeting. We are to bring this copy with comments back.to the next meeting. Jim Meyer reported on the Grand Opening Event of the Farmer's Market. There were 600 buyers in attendance, 12 growers, many dignitaries such as Rose Arnold, County Commissioner, and a variety of media --KSFM, local cable commission, the Newsleader and their sister newspaper in Alexander. Members of the faith community provided a blessing for the market. There were representatives from St. Ben's, Catholic and Lutheran churches of St. Joseph and Avon. A raving success!1! - - The USDA has waived the one year waiting period for using WIC coupons at the market. The only remaining problem seems to be that all the produce is sold by 5:00 p.m. They now will have a new full time market manager, Wynette Feia. S. Miriam complemented Jim's spearheading of the project and the other board . members for their superb efforts. Cari Schmidt reported that one of the glitches, for achieving non-profit status for this group, is that our name is the same as another, afready approved, group. We need to change or adapt our name in some way. Arthur Mehrhoff, St. Cloud State University and a member of the design team, commented on the creativity of the committee's survey. He talked about a generic survey which could be used in any community. He explained that these survey's were used to gather data and measure success of the indicators or bench marks, we would determine, Some web sites, from communities which have set such indicators, will be given to the secretary. This process of setting bench marks could occur after our town meeting. Ellen Wahlstrom commented that the town meeting would coalesce goals, and that would be a wise step, before setting bench marks. Mary Niedenfuer asked to be replaced as secretary. Donna J, Malum volunteered to do the job for one year. A motion was made by Jim Graeve that Donna Malum be accepted as the secretary for the group. Doris Deml seconded. Motion passed, Ellen Wahlstrom announced that there would be a fun meeting for. the group at . Sammy's Pizza, St. Cloud, August 14. 2000 5:30 p. m. The survey will be discussed, so bring your copy.

At that time, you called me to . c:1arify an issue regarding the exterior finish material to be used for an addition being constructed by Mike Duetz to his building on County Road 75. The building taUs in the Highway 75 Business District.

I do not know ifit was presumed that doors and windows would not be included in computing the exterior finW1 requirement. As the ordinance is drafted, I believe that they would have to be included, even if that was not the intent of those who drafted and approved tlús proviaion. It is my recommertdation that the building pennit be Í88Ued for the building as currently proposed. I do DOt believe that it is worth the City's time and expense to fight tlús battle. I believe that the City would most likely lose on this issue. I believe that the better course would be to amend the applicable section by inscning the language excluding exterior doors and windows when computing the 50% coverage requirement. Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding this issue. Very truly yours) RAJKOWSKI HANSMEŒR LTD. BY~ . John H. Scherer JHSlkjp - - TOTAL P.03 . ST.

OVERVIEW SO far in 2000, the overall crime rate in the City of St. Joseph is down by 2% and our overall calls for services are also down by 8% when compared to the same period of time in 1999. There have been some areas that have seen significant statistical changes between this year and last year. It should be noted though that these changes are actually small numbers, but because of the change appear to be better or worse than they actually are. Major crime, Sexual assaults, assaults, burglary and theft are down with the exception of reported sex crimes. This is not because there are more sex crimes occurring but in reality victims are reporting these crimes now. Some examples of other crime categories and their changes are: Underage consumption cases are up 40% from 145 to 204. Noise complaint cases are up 58% from 31 to 49. Dog cases are up 53% from 13 to 20. In the area of traffic, citations are up 30% from last year. Traffic crashes are also up by 21 %. Specific areas are: . Stop sign violations are up 1,333% from 3 in 1999 to 40 so far in 2000. Speeding violations are up 285% from 118 to 337. Underage consuming and operating is down 360% from 18 to 5 cases. Stop ann violations are down 600% from 12 to only 2 so far this year. This is only basic data for the time frames being compared. Because of the problems with our records system, not everything has been fully analyzed for any changes or patterns. Our system does not track data by sections of the community. It should also be noted that arrests do not always equal crimes as more than one person can be charged with one crime and one person can be charged with several crimes. CRIME Crime happens every day of the week and at all hours of the day or night. For the first .'--.- six months of 2000 only, here is the break down of when crime occurred: DAY OF WEEK TIME OF DAY Saturday 38.36% 8 PM - Midnight 43.39% Sunday 27.04% Midnight - 4 AM 36.79% Monday 9.74% Noon-4PM 8.17% Friday 7.23% 4 PM - 8 PM 5.34% - Wednesday 6.91% 8 AM -Noon 3.77% - Tuesday 5.66% 4AM-8AM 2.51% Thursday 5.03% ,.
